Chapter Ninety-Eight: After the Founding Fathers
As a military stronghold, Tongguan has always had a large number of troops stationed all year round. Although Tongguan County also has a teaching department, the scale is limited and the price is very high. The Sui and Tang dynasties all adopted the government military system, and the garrison of Tongguan had no military salary to take at all, and although the big soldiers had no money in their hands, they did not lack food, salt, pickles and other materials, so these garrison soldiers usually quietly took a bucket of grain or a few catties of salt out.
Although it is impossible to sleep a yellow flower girl with a bucket of grain, some widows do not think so. You and I are willing to exchange interests, the big head soldier can satisfy the physical venting, the woman can use the body in exchange for food or salt to live, both sides take what they need, naturally no one is silent.
Gao Hanji is forty-four years old this year, and his hair is covered with sackcloth. Sitting in a thatched hut with leaky wind, a new batch of linen cloth was weaving. She definitely didn't look like forty-four, but more like sixty-four, seventy-four.
There is also a bare-bottomed three- or four-year-old boy in the courtyard, which is the only bloodline of the Gao family. The eldest granddaughter is seventeen years old, and the youngest granddaughter is also twelve years old, and their clothes are already in tatters, if they can't earn enough food before winter comes, the only bloodline of the Gao family may not survive.
Gao Han was originally the left servant of Shangshu in the Great Sui Dynasty, and also the concubine of Gao Ying. It was precisely because she gave birth to Gao Ying's concubine Gao Shuo that she caused a big disaster for Gao Ying.
Gao Han sighed, Gao Ying struggled all his life to rise at the end of Weimo, but when he came, he was confused, offended the emperor, and was killed in the third year of the Great Cause. Gao Ying's four adult sons died on the way to the match, and she was the only one who was alive in Tongguan with a group of female dependents.
The bare-bottomed little boy said in a milky voice, "Grandma, I'm hungry." โ
The eldest granddaughter, Gao Wenjin, looked at the clean rice jar and was full of sadness. Her eyes couldn't stop flowing. When Gao Ying was killed, Gao Wenjin was only five years old, and he vaguely remembered that the Gao family lived in a big house, with a large group of servants and a large population, and there was never a shortage of food, and there was everything in big fish and meat.
Gao Hanshi stretched out his hand to stop the child Gao Huaide, and suddenly, Gao Wenjin said: "Grandma, I'll go!" โ
Gao Han roared, "Stop! โ
Gao Hanshi naturally knew what Gao Wenjin was going to do, and she had said more than once that she would sell herself to the Teaching Workshop Division and get twenty yuan. 200,000 yuan can buy a lot of food, so that the little granddaughter and the little grandson can eat a few full meals. But when he thought that he would meet Gao Ying underground in the future, Gao Han felt that he had no face to see Gao Ying.
Back then, Gao Ying and Queen Dugu were angry, and in a fit of anger, they helped her concubine into the main house, and did not accept Queen Dugu's gift of marriage, Gao Han felt that even if he died, he would pass on the incense of the Gao family.
Gao Wenjin burst into tears and choked up: "Otherwise, what can I do?" The little brother will starve to death, and Wenxiu will also starve to death! โ
"You have a marriage contract with the five lang of the Hou Mo Chen family!"
"The Gao family is finished, and Hou Mochen is also finished!" Gao Wenjin sat down on the ground: "Grandma, we are this fate, this is fate!" โ
"Bell, bell!" At this moment, the dilapidated chai door sounded softly.
Gao Wenjin wiped his tears, got up to open the door, the door opened, Gao Wenjin saw Chen Ying sitting on the step, as for Xu Jingzong, he was directly ignored by Gao Wenjin, she walked straight to Chen Ying: "Am I beautiful?" โ
Chen Ying was stunned by the question, this young girl has yellow hair, obviously has been malnourished for a long time, and she is so thin that she does not have a lot of flesh on her body, the key is that in Chen Ying's eyes, this girl does not have a trace of beauty-related things. But as a person of later generations, even if he meets Sister Feng, Chen Ying will only say that he has characteristics against his will.
Chen Ying said lightly: "The girl is indeed ...... It's beautiful! โ
"Give me 200,000 money, and I'll be your person!"
"Hold the grass, you really know how to open your mouth, 200,000 yuan, I can buy a dozen of servant girls like you."
"Bang"
The wood door was directly shut.
Chen Ying looked at Xu Jingzong inexplicably and said, "You won't be so heavy-tasted, right?" โ
"General Haihan, please!" Xu Jingzong said: "Here are the descendants of the heroic Wanfuwei husband, and I also ask the general to help them." โ
"Heroic husband? Who is it? โ
"Former Sui Prime Minister Gao Ying and Gao Zhaoxuan."
Chen Ying was silent, he had watched "Speaking of Tang Romance" and knew Gao Ying. The fall of the Sui Dynasty was related to Gao Ying's killing by Yang Guang, and the Great Sui was one less pillar of the country. "The purpose of historical production is not easy to meet. Zhou Zhixing also has to be too public, Qi Zhiba also has to manage Zhong, Wei Zhifu also has Li Kui, Qin Zhiqiang also has Shang Ying, Hou Zhou has Su Sui, Sui has Gao Gong, these six sages, the first to become the king's industry, Xing Batu, the second to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the law can be established.
Gao Ying is indeed worthy of being a great husband, first of all, he cares about the rise and fall of the Sui family and the chaos of the country, and as for his own origins, he looks very lightly.
As soon as he had the opportunity, he dismissed him, so that when it came time to cut his post to serve the people, he had no resentment and dealt with it calmly. This is very different from those feudal officials who only want to get promoted and get rich. His demeanor is also different from those in the feudal society who are wise and self-protecting, self-clean, and passive, because his attitude is always positive and takes the world as his own responsibility.
Although he did not shout out the worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the world, the high temple was worried about the people, and the far away from the rivers and lakes was worried about the king. He is the most practical person.
Secondly, it was Gao Ying who dared to act, and on the issue of Jiansui, Su Wei and him became a clear contrast. When Yang Jian hinted to Su Wei about the intention of usurping the throne and establishing the country, Su Wei did not dare to express his position and slipped away. During the Battle of Pingchen, he set aside Yang Guang, the commander in his early twenties, and put the overall situation first, monopolizing power, and even openly disobeying the commander's will. After Pingchen, someone accused him of rebellion, referring to his actions of not taking Yang Guang seriously. In the battle of Liaodong, Yang Liang, the king of Han, was the commander, and he was the commander of the palace. As always, he didn't adopt Yang Liang's opinions, which made this prince angry. On many other issues, he has also shown this courage and responsibility. Let's take criticizing Emperor Yang's love for music, in front of Emperor Yang, what kind of position he is in, he himself is very clear, but out of loyalty to Emperor Yang and the Sui family, he still said it directly.
Chen Ying is not stupid, for such a descendant of an important minister of the country, Xu Jingzong can also take out a little money and food, and there is no need to go to such great lengths, but Xu Jingzong is unwilling to come forward, but he even coaxes and tricks himself to come.
There's definitely something greasy in this.
"What's going on?"
Chen Ying's face slowly sank.
Xu Jingzong said during Ai Ai's period: "The general doesn't know, since Gao Xiang was unjustly killed, there are many people who sympathize with Gao Ying's descendants, but as long as they help Gao Han's people, they will suffer misery!" โ
"Oh!" Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Is there such a strange thing in the world? โ
Xu Jingzong said: "Jingzong doesn't dare to deceive the general!" โ
Chen Ying really didn't believe in gods and ghosts, he even believed that someone was doing something from it.
Chen Yingxin said, he is not afraid of causing trouble now. is different from the original slaughter, with his current status, he is no longer a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. Besides, Chai Shao just assassinated him, this matter has no result, if someone makes another attack on him, it is reasonable, and this account will be counted on Chai Shao's head.
An attempted assassination alone may not cost Chai Shao's life, but now, if someone shoots at him under Li Shimin's protection, then Chai Shao's head will definitely not be saved.
Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "I am tired of Xu joining the army, and in the name of General Ben, I will give him 200,000 yuan!" โ
