Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Heikyo Chapter 18 Telling Stories and Listening to Books

Since the Tianxing year, the Northern Wei Dynasty can be regarded as the time of Zhongxing, sweeping away the haze of the eunuch dictatorship, and the country and the people are unprecedentedly prosperous, but few people will contact the young emperor who was brought to the throne by an old man at the age of ten, and even in the past ten years, Chen Maoyu has been like a good student in the school, trying to listen to the words and deeds of the master, and never dared to disobey, and this master is Li Jucheng, the prime minister of the two dynasties, an old man who can be called a legend even if he is still alive.

When the emperor was alive, he had not yet seen the grandeur of this old man, and only when the whole country was in trouble, did he highlight the giant's wrist and support the general of the building, and was respected by Tang Yibai as the first on the literary list, but he was such a character, in fact, his appearance was like a spring breeze floating in green water, and there were no waves.

"Last time, Li Jucheng in his youth had a difficult road, five times failed in the scientific examination, and when he was disheartened, he raised his glass to ask Qingtian, his feelings were sincere, and he was sad and touched the sky, and he listened to God's grace on the moon floor, and finally was admitted to the list, and since then he has been out of control, only from Jinshi, the first year of the Jiupin Guozi Xuezheng, and in the same year, he was promoted to the doctor of the Five Classics, and he was directly crossed the division after five years of educating people, and became the youngest Guozi priest in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and at the same time served as the first scholar of the Bachelor's Pavilion. ”

An old man with white hair in the teahouse talked eloquently, and a piece of waking wood in his hand was more inspiring than the official master's shocking wood, so he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then looked at the expressions of the listeners, and the old cheeks moved slightly and continued.

"To say that the glory of this ancestral tomb is the pinnacle, it is really underestimated that our Prime Minister Li, our Prime Minister Li stayed in the Guozi Prison for less than a year, so he took the initiative to resign, and transferred to the Ministry of War, to this, you can't help but be surprised, that Li Jucheng and a scholar put the loose official position of the Guozi Supervisor Wine Don't, but run to the Ministry of War to stir up troubled waters, hehe, Lao Er sold a pass first, and said that the military department at that time can be described as a mixed blessing and misfortune, some people seized the opportunity to ascend to the sky, and naturally some people fell into disrepute, just when the chaos in Western Chu was divided into two, and there were also two factions in the court, one is to advocate the north and the south, so as to sit and reap the benefits, the other faction advocates taking advantage of the situation to seize the opportunity of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to occupy the first division of the world. ”

At that time, Li Jucheng, who was a squire in the military department, stood in the latter, and even took the initiative to ask for war, and said that he would die within six months, which was really shocking to the whole dynasty, not to mention that he was promoted all the way, which caused many colleagues to be enthusiastic and anxious. ”

The old man said this, his eyebrows were lightly raised, and he caught a glimpse of a few men and women walking into the door, and couldn't help but sell some strength, as the so-called old people have nothing to rely on, it is rare to have the ability to eat by mouth, just counting on these sons and brothers to listen to the pleasure, just throw some big money is enough to pass him half a month of food, seeing the new people dressed brightly, especially a woman's amazing incredible, Rao is he can't help but look at a few more times at his age.

"Jinluan Palace fought for three days, and finally the first emperor overrode the will of the people, appointed Li Jucheng, who had no experience in leading troops at that time, as the marshal of the Eastern Expedition, and ordered 200,000 troops to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty, what is the concept of 200,000 troops, undoubtedly the entire Northern Wei Dynasty was pressed in the hands of this fledgling newcomer, not to mention whether the Eastern Jin Dynasty could be won within six months, once it fell into a stalemate, and when the Southern Tang Dynasty stabilized the situation, it was possible to raise troops to the north at any time, and even rushed into the mansion where Li Jucheng was at that time, and did not hesitate to threaten with death, which can be said to be a person who risked the disapproval of the world, Rao is so, and the army started as scheduled three days later. ”

"Smack. ”

As soon as the wood woke up, there was immediately a boy who understood that he would walk by table with the copper plate in his hand, and the listeners listened to the rise, sprinkling some copper plates casually, and also in exchange for a thank you uncle, some of the sons and daughters with a solid family background will be generous, and the crisp sound of scattered silver falling in the copper plate is indeed much more brittle than the copper plate.

The boy walked slowly to the end, and several new listeners could not find a place to sit, so they simply stood by the door, and the boy was not afraid of life, and when he approached, his little face was raised, and he blurted out words that he did not know how many times he had polished.

"This uncle, our ancestors and grandchildren rely on a mouth to beg for a living, if you think that paragraph of the book is still in your ears, casually hit a three-dollar and five-dollar one, give my grandfather a mouthful of food, this kind boy will never forget, to remember that there are more parents in this life, you are such a one, thinking day and day, night and night, happiness and longevity, and illness will not invade. ”

If you want to say that this boy is young, his eyesight is not weak, and he can guess seven or eight points by looking at the tea and fruit plate on the other party's table, if he is just an ordinary person who occasionally comes to listen to music, he doesn't dare to ask for three or five dollars when he opens his mouth, one or two copper plates call you uncle, you are happy and I will not suffer, if it is those sons and brothers who love a mouthful, you will be unhappy if you want to be less, especially those girls and young women, seeing such exquisite porcelain dolls, can you not be at ease to be the parents of food and clothing.

Su Wen touched his body, and really couldn't find the scattered silver two, so he had to find a silver ingot, and the sound was about to be lifted again, the boy may have never seen such a big amount of money, and the two eyes of the smile narrowed into slits, and he was very grateful, and when he looked up and saw Hu Xiancao, he was shocked and blurted out, "Guanyin Niangniang." ”

But the indifferent Hu Xiancao was amused, stroked the child's head, took out a silver ingot from Su Wen's arms and threw it on, and said softly: "Go, buy candy to eat." ”

Su Wen was not heartbroken, but the little servant on the side had already gritted his teeth, in his eyes, the boy was harmless to humans and animals, and there was a knife to cut money hidden in his smile.

The old man stood up tremblingly, bowed slightly to the other party, his expression was still the same, somewhat still the temperament of some readers, many listeners were attracted by Hu Xiancao's appearance, fortunately, there was a bull Batian standing next to him who was more terrifying than a blind bear, and finally did not let the old man's storytelling in the second half become a piano to the cow.

The waking wood fell, and the old man continued to speak: "The old man just sold the guanzi, so far I have to talk about it, if I want to say that Li Jucheng has the confidence to stir up the mixed waters of the military department, and how to be confident that he will die in June, this has to mention the twelve righteous sons under him, starting with the word loyalty, ending with the word filial piety, among which the cross morality, these twelve righteous sons can be described as both civil and military, today we will first talk about this first righteous son, the first hero of the expedition, Wu'an Hou Li Zaizhong ......"

Su Wen didn't listen anymore, got up and went to the second floor, telling the story to pay attention to chapter after chapter, hanging your appetite to go, the old man's posture is indispensable to say these twelve righteous sons one by one, but Su Wen wants to hear Li Zaixiao the most, and it is estimated that there will be three or two days.

Sure enough, the scale in the hearts of the people still feels that the Li family is more weighty than the Chen family. Su Wen leaned against the window and watched the flow of people outside the window.

"It doesn't matter if the world of the Chen family is still the world of the Li family, anyway, it's not for you Su to ask, it's better to swing the sword a few more times if you have this kung fu. Lu Xing opened a cup and poured tea, he only knew how to practice swords in the mound, and it was still the same after leaving the mound, no matter how high and good the temple was, it was not his destination after all, as for whether Li Jucheng wanted to be under that person or above ten million people, it was even more meaningless to him.

Su Wen held his head, the other party was not interested in anything but the sword, but he had never seen the fanaticism and obsession that those swordsmen should have in the other party, whether he was born for the sword, or because of the sword, he became the land line he is today, how many people envy his current achievements, but in Su Wen's eyes, how boring such a single life should be.

"But I always feel that after entering that big city, I have to deal with these people, the old man Li who is blown by the world is amazing, I really want to go and see, my brother let me enter the school, and the dwarf river said that the current school is the backyard of the imperial court, so you must know who the master is first!"

"That's right, your senior brother is not a guy who keeps to himself, he alone asks the heavens to revive the stagnant water of the rivers and lakes, how can he let go of such a good place to go to the temple, if you really let you go to the academy to study, it will be simple, since you have met Chen Maochuan, maybe you are destined to be inseparable. ”

Su Wen lowered the corners of his eyes and patted his head, it should have been a very simple thing, as long as it involves the senior brother, it will become foggy, the key is that no matter how you ask, Lu Xing will always be the one who has nothing to do with himself, Mo Xiuyuan said that he escaped the catastrophe of Ling Tiangong, Sui Banyu said that someone wants to repay him for his kindness, and someone wants to kill him, but he has only been in the world for a few months, is it true that people are sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky.

"Bang bang bang. ”

A hurried knock on the door interrupted Su Wen's thoughts, and after opening the door, the person who came was the boy downstairs, only to see that the other party looked flustered and breathlessly and said, "Look, Guanyin Niangniang was arrested." ”

"What do you say. Su Wen stood up suddenly, before coming up, Hu Xiancao said that he would take Xiao Xianzhi to buy some things for the girl's house, but he didn't pay attention to it, and something happened in a blink of an eye.

"Su asked you not to worry, listen to him. Compared with Lu Xing, he was much calmer and said softly.

The boy took a breath, and then continued: "Just now I went to buy some throat moisturizer for my grandfather, and I happened to see Guanyin Niangniang with a young lady on the street, but I saw a group of people rushing up and arresting them. ”

"Childe, the old man just went to inquire, and that group of people should be thieves from Luling Mountain outside the city. At this time, the old man hurried from downstairs, and his words were tight.

Su Wen got up and was about to leave, but the old man hurriedly stopped him, and persuaded with a lot of shame on his face: "Son, listen to the old man's advice, if it is really a thief from Luling Mountain, this matter will be forgotten!"

"Old man, how can you say this? Lu Xing asked puzzled.

"The two of you don't know, this Lingling Mountain has only recently appeared, there are three masters on the mountain, strong martial arts, do all kinds of evil, often go down the mountain to plunder young women up the mountain, the government has nothing to do, even the head of the martial arts sect is torn in half, fortunately, those women will be sent down the mountain in a few months, at least their lives are worry-free. The old man said in a low voice, the latter sentence is even more weak, to put it mildly for months, how do you know how much inhuman pain these women have suffered, but they have finally saved their lives, if it were not for the favor of the other party's two ingots of silver, how could the old man pull down his face to be this wicked man to dissuade him, for fear that this pretty boy would lose two lives on impulse and for no reason.

"Old man, can you tell me where that mountain is? Su Wen drank coldly.

The old man wanted to persuade him a few words, but when he saw Su Wen's indifferent expression, where did he dare to swallow it, and said it one by one.

"Thank you. Su Wen stepped out of the door and met Qigui head-on, and the little servant saw that the young master's face was as pale as ink, and he knew that something terrible had happened.

"Where is Niu Batian?"

"He, he's been walking all day, and now he's asleep in the house. Qigui said intermittently, he had never seen the young master look so scary, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Go wake him up. ”
