Tang Dynasty

Chapter 308: Looking at each other inside and outside (Part 2)

Views:

As the Taiping Army gradually controlled the cities along the Xiangshui line, a basic order was established. Among the people who came to join the army and earn a living, some poor scholars gradually appeared; and Chen Yanzhang, who came from near Yichun, Yuanzhou, was such a poor scholar who once had nowhere to report and thrived.

Although his ancestors had something to do with Tianbao Prime Minister Chen Xilie anyway, his parents' generation could still pass down more than ten acres of Susukada and his family's old slaves to support him, a child who specializes in studying.

However, as the most common tradition of farming and reading heirlooms throughout the ages, he spent more than ten years of hard work. In addition to exhausting his barely self-sufficient net worth, only the state after the township examination was exchanged. The election is the result of repeated failures.

Then, after his parents were impatient with the hardships of life, they became sick and died one after another, and changed the last bit of belongings; he could only accept the remnants of his uncle’s family and go to a private school to make a living.

However, there are so many people in this world, so how many people come to study quietly; and then as the master’s family fled to other places to avoid disaster, he also had to go back to his hometown to pick up the skills of farming again; Even the old village is gone.

It is said that it was a passing officer and army who did it smoothly. Then he stood on a white ground and looked around blankly. Without a long body, he could only temporarily join the crowd of begging refugees.

Then he was confused and recruited into the labor camp organized by the grass thieves, and then he was pulled out because he knew how to write, doing some copying and recording in the labor camp, and it was a bite to eat. The only uncomfortable part is that all beards and hairs must be shaved clean, and after uniformly washing down the river, staying in the delineation camp for at least one month before coming out.

This is undoubtedly a kind of rebellion to the teaching he has received since he was a child that his parents should not be lightly ruined by his parents; but he has personally seen the beards, hair and torn clothes thrown into the fire. After the various fleas and lice crawled out one after another, most of them were completely free of words and dissent.

Then he gradually noticed the various unusual features of this grass thief who solicited and contained him. For example, they seem to have no desires or desires;

It's not like the local casual subordinates who are used to invading and harassing people's homes, or the indiscriminate use of tribes to burn them like the passerby army. Rather, they would rather use copper coins or objects to trade in exchange for them.

So he couldn't help but moved his mind, wanting to go further in his current position; however, his attempt actually got a definite response. He was directly called to attend a temporary meeting called Interview, and asked some general related questions such as "views on the rebels", "what plans for the future" and so on.

"You have to read at least one of these books..."

The other party threw him a stack of pamphlets and said in a meaningful tone.

"Only we can accept our test of the school without rain, and finally get the qualifications to work for the rebels..."

These pamphlets are bound with a lot of rough and bad paper, but they are engraved with a lot of words in small letters. Among them are "Economic Theory", "Public Persuasion", "Contradiction Theory", "Holy Library System", "Taiping Tianmu Outline", "Moshuo", "Summer Chapter Enlightenment", "Public Transportation Style" and so on.

And a few days later, just when he used his free time to study the heresy of these grass thieves, he wanted to find a suitable way for him from the start; but he was called again. But they were summoned to watch a white play, a story called "Red and Black",

This story, sung and told on a stage with a simple setting, tells the story of a young man from a small family who was born in Yu Minglian, who wanted to shut the door from the top, so he determined to make a difference since he was a child. Therefore, the way of the world is to either become a great monk wearing a red robe and ziyi, or join the army to become a general wearing a black robe and red robe.

He crazily worshipped famous generals in ancient times when he was young, eager to wear a long sword like a ranger in the Han Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, and make meritorious deeds. Think of the sages of Lingyan Pavilion like Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and others; said that "a humble and poor Xialiao official and path-cutting practitioner, who only rely on martial arts and the courage to fight, will be like a hero The Shixun family who retired with the country".

But later, his hopes have repeatedly hit a wall in reality. Although he was successfully voted under the royal lieutenant's sect by submitting to the martial arts examination, but without sufficient family background and family background, he was empty of ambitions and worked hard, and he could only be invisible again and again. Suppression and squeeze out, always sinking into the ranks of military officials, and repeatedly failing to get ahead. Even being involved in the disputes in the back house and being trapped in an affair with his relatives, he had to sneak out and run away with hatred on his back.

Therefore, he learned from the pain and wanted to avoid the world as a great monk, not only seeking peace and quiet of the soul, but also saving the world. Therefore, he changed his name to worship under the esoteric master Fahai, and studied Buddhism. He relied on his amazing good memory to memorize all the "Forty-two Chapters" of a Bayeux book, which caused a sensation throughout the city and became famous for a while.

Then he was recommended to Shengjiao Temple to place orders and practice. But in Buddhism, there are also ubiquitous intrusion and intrigue calculations, as well as the unscrupulous attempts to violate the precepts for the sake of the monk class, which also disappointed him.

Because as he said: "Now we are seeing the omnipresent place of filth and dirt in the monastery. Although the mouth is talking about retreat from the world, quietness and inaction, we are doing greed and greed and anointing the blood of believers in the name of worshipping Buddhism. Condensed into gorgeous palaces and ritual instruments, they are not beneficial to the people’s lives and sufferings and difficulties."

As a man of great virtue, he can only take care of himself without being able to do anything. On the contrary, it makes the generations of men, thieves, and prostitutes full of brains to steal high positions. As a result, he also began to degenerate himself; he gained a great reputation for being honored by entering and leaving the wealthy family, and he even couldn't bear it and began to have an affair with several female families of the prince's family.

However, this has actually achieved his reputation and popularity. With the respect of these family members of the princes, he was even recommended to wear the purple robe for the blessing ceremony for the emperor. Just when his fame was getting more and more grand, he was recognized by the old knowledge in the Taiwei's belly; and an undocumented wife who had affiliated with him was pregnant because of this.

Then it was the old knowledge in the furious female father and brother and the Taiwei’s mansion, which could no longer conceal the fate of the ruin and beheaded punishment; but when he was about to leave, he fully enlightened and shouted "This is nothing if you don’t do evil. The tigers, leopards and wolves who survived in the world are the worms who are deeply guilty and enjoy wealth..."

Then, in an atmosphere of sobbing and throbbing that felt the same, Chen Yanzhang saw a familiar person in the crowd. That was Hong Mao, the son of the Hong clan of Tanzhou who he had met during the state election; it was just that he also looked down and thin, and didn't know what happened to him.

In the days that followed, he saw many familiar faces again, some of whom were Zheng Qi, Yuan Hao, Huang Po, Wu Tanggui, who had several connections in the early state election, and had a warm drink together. Those who were unsuccessful; some were his fellow villagers or Lu Zhao, Wang Ku, Peng Jian, Xi Jia, Zhan Ben and others in the same year;

Unexpectedly, they all went to the grass thief and gathered here, so Chen Yanzhang inevitably developed a sense of crisis and urgency when all his thoughts and feelings were mixed; although he believed that his knowledge of essays was still passable, but These fellows from different family backgrounds or the same year are not so good at each other.

Among them, even the branch children of local prominent families, who came here without their identities were obviously intentional. Combined with the content of their private discussions, Chen Yanzhang couldn't help but wonder how many of them, like him, had heard of the popular "Orange Island Inscription", which was arranged by the family to test the style.

After all, compared with the increasingly declining Li and Tang courts and all levels of government, ordinary people still have a certain deep-rooted awe; as a family of families that have been formed over the years in these places, more consideration is once the imperial destiny is no longer ; How does one's own family survive in this chaotic world, the various sources and outlets for standing.

Although they don’t care about letting the family’s resources and children come directly or surrender to which newly-emerging local power; but they also pay special attention to the pattern of the other side and the development of the power, and most of them choose some kind of superiority. It's rather queer than indiscriminate attitude.

It is for fear of betting the wrong bet and being tied to a certain short-sighted, reckless act, or without long-term thoughts and plans, and can only go with the waves in the troubled times and whirl and disappear, short-lived, or simply lead the way for the king. The power to pave the way up.

Of course; the same handed down verses that are made in an unnamed essay will only be regarded as a product of madness, madness, or over-reliance, or even plagiarism and plagiarism. The newspaper official catches it in order to reward it;

But put it on the leader of a party (separated rule) that is full of Lingnan and Annan and dozens of states, and tens of thousands of troops are used to overcome it. That is to make the world unable to look directly, and make many people at the bottom unambiguous. The heart is full of ambitions.

. . . . . .

Although most of the rebels did not necessarily understand the slogan and purpose due to the limitation of their origins; but in Tanzhou City, where the ancient Chu humanities gathered, there are many people who know the goods and sing around in the subsequent time. In the process of gradually spreading to the south, it caused quite a continuous sensation.

"The eagle hits the sky, the fish is flying in the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost are competing freely. I am stunned, and ask the vast earth, who is responsible for the ups and downs?"

"Qia classmate is a young boy, and is full of vigor and prosperity; the book business is maddening, and Fang Qiu is criticized. Pointing the country, stimulating the writing, the dung is ten thousand households back then."

"This is not an ordinary anti-poetry, this is simply the words of the master showing the oath to ask the world..."

"Since even Wan Huhou regards it as dung, it can be as in his eyes. I am afraid that it is the honorable position of living alone..."

"It's worthy of being the master of my admiration and not hesitating to follow..."

Including the subordinates Qiu Huan, Fan Chuo and others who were born in the traditional literati of Guangzhou, they were also praised or proud; they were also proudly promoted in the circle of scribes to which they belonged. Many people were even more shocked when they heard each other's voices, and were unable to speak for a long time.

Because someone has commented in private, this has gone beyond the past generations, those who have been angry, or excited about the world, or ridiculed the predominant common rebellious poetry; in the nostalgic poems for some reason In the meantime, faintly it is the ambitions of the superiors and the masters who have not expressed the world.

And in the large library of the workshop,

"The country has talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the army for hundreds of years."

"He is unabashedly heroic... but it seems that I am waiting for a bit of anger, and vaguely ashamed."

Pi Rixiu, who is writing, is also Lu Guimeng looking at his old friend with a wry smile, and his face full of shock and disbelief. At this moment, the two of them who were once famous and called each other sighed at each other, but they seemed to have an illusion that they and others had become the tears of the times.

"This is the master's pattern and magnanimity worth serving in my heart."

And Liu Xun, who was in Yazhou, read and sighed loudly after hearing the news, and then led a group of his subordinates to the north to salute respectfully, saying in unison, "We wait for one to understand the Lord," and then In spite of the old age, a lot of work enthusiasm and enthusiasm burst out, just for performance and achievement in the future.

And in the back house of the Liushou Mansion,

"I can't wait to be by Lang Jun right now and encourage him..."

The maid Qingluo had blurred eyes and flushed face. Holding a piece of paper that was said to be the original manuscript, she suddenly realized that she was flying away from the sky:

"Nu Nu likes it so much, likes it so much..."

"This bad thing just came out, and sure enough, he can't hide his ambition and thoughts..."

He also held a small pendant of Xue Taojian's Changpuer beside him, but he turned his mouth in disdain to face the nestling skeleton Jingdao.

"I'm still worried about the world's worries. It's a big tone... You said it's no sister..."

"Such a literary discussion is at least from the first-rate vision and standpoint of the minister."

Then this time, the skeleton spirit was a little hesitant and said:

"It's a pity that I am so ambitious and ambitious, but I can't use it for the court in the end... But I don't know what kind of background it is to teach a character with this kind of mind and style..."

"Sister, I'm going to be angry..."

Changpu'er puffed up her cute little mouth.

"This servant always likes to tease people with sensational things, so how many can I believe..."

Of course, even though she said so, she couldn't help but hid this manuscript carefully in her arms, the one she liked the most but stayed in the pocket of the bear-shaped puppet named "Ma Ji".

"Sister, you said he told about the characters and stories about the Holy Land and the Demon Gate each having a master who disturbed the world in the last years of the previous dynasty... It's kind of true and false..."

Then she said quietly to the silent skeleton again.

"Wan'er... I... I don't know much about the others..."

This time, the skeleton spirit laughed bitterly.

"But at least the Huajian School in this dynasty really has something that has been handed down."

"In the past, there were Wen Bacha and Wen Bacha, who are famous for their travels and grievances, love and hate, and Yuxi (Xi) Sheng (Li Shangyin) and Wei Zuosi (Wei Yingwu) who are known to the world..."

"In today's world, there are also Wei Zuosi's grandsons, and Wei Duanji (Wei Zhuang) who gets his mantle."

"That's the Jingzhao Webster who had been to your house before?..."

Changpuer was a little surprised.

"The old gentleman who wrote "Sidixiang"?... But there seems to be some similarities with the words of the wicked man."

Then, she could not help but chant softly:

"On a spring trip, the apricot blossoms blow all over.

Who on the Mo is young and happy.

The concubine intends to marry the body and leave for life.

Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed. "

. . . . . .

"Winter trip, like water, clouds and snow falling all over my head.

Mo is a teenager who has no worries.

Even if I don’t mind, I fall into the mud,

Look at each other and laugh endlessly! "

"Sister, why are you crying,"

Then Changpuer saw the calamus, and the skeleton spirit who seemed to feel deeply in tears couldn't help but panicked and pleaded.

"It's all my fault, have you evoked the sadness of your past."

"I'm sorry you are..."

The skeleton spirit stopped her habitually, and tried hard to contain her tears.

"It made you and I both fall into this position..."

. . . . . . .

"Who belongs to Xu Yuanxuan's book has become the subject of controversy over the next millennia. Benefactor Wang Pan? Or is the Yidi Huangchao like a stranger? Or it can be said that there is only the first seat of the legendary demon monk, Cihang Jingzhai, and Shi Zhixuan, the founder of the Huajian School?...For speculating on such a legend, people do not hesitate their imagination."
