In Chang'an City, as the biggest feature of the new dynasty, it is the crowds of rivalries passing through the streets from time to time, with flags, advocacy, and ostentation, as well as the ceremonial and pomp composed of BMW scented cars.
And behind the sidings of restaurants, tea shops, street pavilions, and restaurants everywhere, there is always some complicated gazes of hatred, dislike, disgust, contempt, and jealousy, as well as "swimming the monkey", "corrupting ethics" and "human relations" Complaints and curses like sweeping the floor.
And whenever the two teams of honor guards happened to collide head-to-head at the entrance of the street, the noise of clamoring for the road, or even the movement of fists and feet, would also attract a large number of people from the city who gathered in the south of the city. Onlookers and heated discussions.
It was only after hearing the news from far or near that the city patrol team, who had finally been slow or slow, was dispelled again to end the street farce that broke out from time to time.
Therefore, these are also the few methods that can be used to reflect the sense of presence on the fuselage after the humerus and pillars of the new dynasty Daqi who were canonized as princes, princes and senior officials. And have fun.
Another pleasure for them is to take advantage of the privileges and conveniences of the new dynasty. From time to time, they break into the homes of the princes and officials of the old dynasty, enter the houses, and hold various banquets and fun-seeking gatherings.
He even called out the host’s family to serve, and under the rough and rough language, admired their expressions and attitudes that they dared not speak, and used this as a way to make fun of them, and named them "Finding the Deng" and "Hang Hang". drop".
And near the East City, which was almost completely closed and became depressed, in a typical courtyard where a small family sits in a business.
Zhao Ziri, who is already a school lieutenant, is slightly satisfied with his loose hips, pacing out of a weeping house; he doesn't even look at the man with humble smile and bowed head under the eaves. , And facing several subordinates waiting outside.
"This girl is in good condition, you can all try it, just take a little effort, don't kill it."
Then, people brought in a large bag of objects, and faced the man who didn't dare to say a word, Nu Nu's mouth went away; at least after getting away from the disaster star that made everything go wrong, he was full of officials. After suffering and ups and downs, it finally ushered in a good day when the time came.
Not only was he picked up by the vanguard general under the command of Chief Shang, but also because his physical appearance was relatively fierce, he became a flag-bearer who followed him in the battle. Since then, he has been developing among the rebels.
Nowadays, although he is only a lieutenant in the new dynasty of the Qi Dynasty, he can still stay in the city of Chang'an, the most prosperous city in the world, as a city inspector.
While I could not imagine the prosperous scenery before I saw it, I also indulged in the life of a real official family.
No matter what his superiors and other military generals want or which they are interested in, he has ways and means to do both soft and hard or to get it ingeniously.
This also allowed him to gain a reputation for being capable and effective, but also to grab a lot of benefits, and to further control the interests of several districts.
In contrast, my early days of domineering and blessing in the remote villages of Lingnan are as ridiculous and clumsy as Xia Chong can't speak.
"That brother, please stay."
Suddenly a familiar voice rang behind him, but his skin was tight and his pores were standing upright.
"But at the moment, Brother Zhao, the younger brother is looking forward to seeing each other again for too long..."
Zhao Ziri was a saddle-rider who couldn't care less about his mount. He desperately drove over and overturned many pedestrians all the way, leaving the sound behind him regardless of his desire to do so;
Suddenly, Ma Xia stumbled and softened his forefoot, so he threw his head over the mossy fence and threw him into the imperial ditch under the stone bridge full of dead leaves and mud. .
"I'm not mistaken, this is Brother Zhao, who came from Lingwai and has been taking care of me..."
The familiar one can't wait to pinch his throat, pinch off his tongue, and then use the squeezed out intestines to circle a hundred times, still muttering on the bridge railing.
"Brother Zhao, are you okay..."
"Hurry up and get Brother Zhao out..."
Listening to this, the sound that made him dream back countless times at midnight, he was about to wake up closer and closer, but Zhao Ziri, who wanted to struggle, lost his balance again, was churned out and choked on a few mouthfuls of mud. The taste of the scholars and people in the metropolis has been settled down for hundreds of years, and he is almost going to die for Kaoru.
At the same time, near Anhua Gate in Da Nei, Wubenfang where the Imperial College and Imperial College were located. A large group of scholars who had been gathered up temporarily were also full of anxiety, eating the specially provided wheat and rice, while watching the leader of the rebel army who had begun to name them.
It was already forty-five years of age, and Wei Zhuang, whose shirt was washed white and decorated with patches, was also among them; he was cautiously chewing on these rough meals.
Although he was born in the Jingzhao Wei's Xiaoyao public house, the fourth generation grandson of the former great landscape poet Wei Yingwu, and his ancestors played Wenchang Youxiang Wei to wait for the price during the anniversary of Wu; but his generation has already fallen for a long time. Up.
Also, his parents died prematurely and his family situation was fragile. He grew up alone and poor mechanics, and is well-known in the poetry world for his talent. He had the same name as Wen Tingyun, the late Huajian school master, and was also called "Wen Wei". Many of your families do not like it because they are unrestrained and self-willed during the years.
Therefore, in addition to the early inauguration experience of writing and writing in Zhaoyi Jiedushi, Shangshu, Taiyuan Yin, and Beidu left behind Liu Tong. Now he is stranded in Chang'an and has been wasted for the fifteenth year without fail.
The so-called Wei Zhuang name was changed for this reason. A few days ago, he posted a few articles, and worked as a doorman for a period of time in the former Zhenhai Jiedu Shi Zhou Bao's mansion, who was out to Beijing.
However, the good times did not last long. Zhou Bao, known as the good general of the Five Dynasties, was neither delighted by the present, but also was bullied by the eunuchs and his family wealth was scattered. .
Before he had time to find a new proprietor, he followed the thief army to the court and fell, and with the vast number of scholars who were studying in Beijing and waiting for examination, he was trapped in this Xijing city;
Soon with the soaring prices on the market and the shortage of daily necessities, he also had to be hungry and thirsty with no long abdomen, so he could only gather from the big stream to Taixue regularly to eat what the thieves provided I’ve got food for study.
As a corresponding price and exchange, they must regularly go to the Imperial Prison to order and sign off with their own body; in exchange for two ready-made meals a day. Mainly wheat rice and miscellaneous cakes, and occasionally salted vegetables.
On the other hand, there are regular hires for copying documents and postings, and you can get some ready-made copper coins or brown rice on the spot by piece counting; although the quantity is not large, you can spend a few days in the lower workshop near the city wall in the south of the city.
It is said that this is also one of the so-called good governance of the new dynasty, which was initiated by the general Meng, who was patrolling the capital in the thief army, and personally presided over the matter. In fact, most people are confused, confused, helpless, and disappointed in this situation, but they are also powerless and desperate.
How can this Huanghuang Tang court be gone if not; isn't it a legend that it will be revived for three hundred years? How did Xijing Chang'an, the world's most benevolent, change ownership and become the capital of Daqi in the new dynasty
Most of them were pessimistic about their future, worried that the imperial court might be reconciled in the future, and they were also afraid of the tyrannical and powerful thief army they see now. It is even more forced by the difficulties and stress of the livelihood status quo.
Therefore, among these scholars, there are really some people who really can't bear the poverty and suffering of life at the moment. They actively sought to serve among thieves, and obtained some appointed low-level official posts and titles, and picked up corresponding rewards and temporary salaries .
Of course, Wei Zhuang didn't want to throw in thieves or run around for it, but he didn't want to take up the meager savings and food rations at home. Therefore, we can only give up the principle and persistence of the so-called "don't eat Zhousu", and bend the waist for a while for five buckets of rice.
After all, with the exception of the shops that are sold in limited quantities under the supervision of the thieves, it can be said that it is becoming more and more difficult to buy grain and rice in private, and he has several younger brothers and sisters, who are also doing nothing. In the wailing waiting to be fed.
"Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang from Duling is the same one, come out to talk..."
At this time, suddenly a voice called out his name. It was too late for him to stand up agitatedly, and then quickly shrink back.
"This Wei Sheng, your time has arrived..."
A soldier wearing a blue silk shirt with a thin crotch and rough hands and feet walked up to him who was quickly pulled out by the soldiers.
"Now there is an important matter, which is waiting for you to go out of the city to assign it... The corresponding remuneration is generous."
"I... I... I still have family members in the city who need to be looked after, and it is difficult to travel long distances..."
Wei Zhuang couldn't help being nervous.
"It's okay, as long as you leave the house, the corresponding remuneration will be sent to the house..."
The military officer couldn't help but push him back into the queue.
Following the people who were pronounced their names, one after another stood up and was taken aside. Then, Wei Zhuang also met an old acquaintance here,
"Brother Du, how come you were selected too..."
Du Xunhe, a native of Shidai, Chizhou (now Shitai County, Anhui Province), who was in the same year and old acquaintance, used chopsticks to pick up the floating salted vegetable stalks in a bowl of thin porridge, and put it in his mouth with a deep taste.
"Old Wei, haven't you noticed..."
"What did you notice..."
Wei Zhuang didn't understand why.
"This time, the selected students are all students who have not passed the exam..."
"What about it, isn't it everywhere in Beijing."
Wei Zhuang was even more puzzled.
"But it seems that people only need to be from a poor family and a family background. For scholars with eunuchs, big clans, and prominent backgrounds, they don't want them at all. Even if they are unintentionally selected, they will soon be eliminated and withdrawn..."
"..."
"So, I'm afraid that there is an important activity or big event among the thieves, and my generation must be involved..."
At the same time, outside the Gwanghwamun Gate in the south of Chang'an, a team of carriages and horses loaded with various treasures and products from outside the region was also guided by the banner of the "transportation envoys within the pass" and went along one of the four roads in Gyeonggi. Shangluo official road, winding its way to Lantian County to the south.
—I am the dividing line —
Kuizhou thousands of miles away,
Qin Shigong, who was full of blood, ran all the way and rushed into the turbulent Fengjie City, because there are still the soft goods he has gathered in a short time in his tenure, as well as the two loves he has accepted/occupied soon. concubine. (End of this chapter)
