Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 402

(Chapter recommends Xiaodao Jixing's work, traditional martial arts "Dragon and Phoenix")
The north boat goes south, but it is not difficult to go.During this trip, Luo Yan still followed the same waterway and went down the river.

The Grand Canal in spring is turbulent, and the boats are very stable on the water.Although it was the first time for Changle to travel far, it was also the first time for him to take such a long distance by boat.But with Luo Yan's help, there was no sign of seasickness at all.

On the contrary, it was because of her curiosity about the outside of Chang'an City that she dragged Luo Yan out of the cabin, leaned against the half-person-high railing, and watched the thousands of miles of flowing water with interest.

"My father said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was extremely poor and extravagant, and he didn't care about the power of the people. He not only built the palace, but also conscripted corvee to dig the canal for his own selfishness, so that the second emperor of the previous dynasty died. I have always wondered how the Grand Canal is. Magnificent, only when I saw it today, I realized that it is true.”

Most of Changle's views of the mountains and rivers in the outside world were passed down from mouth to mouth in the palace, so he couldn't help feeling emotional.

Gently stroking Chang Le's hair, Luo Yan smiled.

It is true that Li Shimin said a lot of reasons for being crowned emperor of Tang Dynasty, but it was just to put gold on his own face.The former sentence is correct, but the latter sentence is too biased.

Looking at Chang Le's eyes wanting to give her the answer, Luo Yan read quietly:

"Even though the Sui Dynasty died for this river, it has depended on Tongbo for thousands of miles.

If there is no dragon boat thing in the Water Palace, there will be not many merits of the common Yu. "

Luo Yan didn't dare to say such a comment out loud.You must know that he is still in a sensitive period, and there are more or less people sent by Li Shimin on board.If he flattered Emperor Sui Yang so much, he would be causing trouble for himself.

Fortunately, between husband and wife, there is no need to be so wary.

And Changle was obviously stunned when he heard Luo Yan's comment.The meaning of this poem is easy to understand. Basically, it does not even need to be translated literally.That's why a lot of astonishment appeared on Naive Zhenzhen's face, and then the astonishment turned into worry.

"Husband, if you say this, aren't you afraid of being punished for your words?"

Although Chang Le kept his face as tight as possible, pretending to be a warning, but still failed to frighten Luo Yan.Instead, I saw Luo Yan laughing and said: "I have been studying history during this time, and I have been thinking about a problem. If Emperor Yang had been less extravagant and spent his whole life doing everything he did, I don't know what kind of person he would be. the emperor."

Seeing that he couldn't scare Luo Yan, Chang Le also stopped trying to persuade Luo Yan, and then asked: "What kind of emperor will he become?"

"If fewer palaces are built, the national treasury will be filled; if you take five or six years to divide the relationship between Silla, Baekje and Goguryeo, then hundreds of thousands of Han men will not be buried in other places. ; It will take another five years to dig the Grand Canal step by step. Think about it, when he finishes these things at the age of 50, will the former Sui Dynasty still perish?"

Luo Yan's words made Chang Le a little dizzy.But thinking about it, it really made her sweat.If it can only be like that, there is no such thing as her father now.

Chang Le couldn't help following Luo Yan's words and continued: "Sure enough, if that's the case, the history books will definitely say that he is a hero who thinks he is a hero."

Nodding his head, Luo Yan didn't make a sound, and didn't know what to think.And Changle also seemed to think of something because of the assumption just now.The small world of the two fell into a moment of silence.

The biggest advantage of going smoothly is that the speed of traveling is much faster.

No, the journey under the moon in the boat was only half a month away, and he had already arrived in Suzhou.A few tens of miles further on, it is Lu Deming's hometown Wu County.

Luo Yan didn't have to worry about not knowing where Lu Deming's hometown was.

In the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Deming was already a semi-saint existence, not to mention that Li Shimin had ordered Lu Deming to be the founder of Wu County.In Suzhou Wu County, there is only such a Lord.If he couldn't casually ask someone for directions like this, it would be a bit insulting to his teacher's reputation.

Sure enough, when the boat docked, a group of servants took all the items off the boat.After hiring a few carriages, they just told the coachman about Lu's family from Wu County, and the coachmen respectfully invited people like Luo Yan into the carriage, and walked slowly towards the city.

The Lu family was a prominent family in Wu County during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In addition to a Confucian sect and a governor in this dynasty, it is even more remarkable.

When Luo Yan accompanied Chang Le out of the carriage, he couldn't help being surprised when he saw the magnificent mansion in front of him.

Hey, people say that Chang'an is rich and prosperous, and you only know it when you come to Jiangnan, and it's not too bad here.

Luo Yan's Duke Cheng's mansion is considered big, but Lu's mansion is even bigger.Although there are no decorations such as stone lions in front of the door, but the simple two words "Lu Fu", Luo Yan recognized at a glance that it was the handwriting of Yu Shinan, a great master of the dynasty.It is exactly the same as the handwriting of Lu Deming's house in Beijing.

There is even an archway in front of the door, engraved with Li Shimin's various praises for Lu Deming.

Needless to say, just this gate is enough to make those officials in Beijing greedy.

Unlike Chang'an, which is easy to get in and out of, this is Lu Deming's home after all, and he needs to be notified when he goes in.The servant had already delivered Luo Yan's name card, and he just waited for the people in the mansion to come out to greet him.

Since the expiration of Lu Dunxin's filial piety years ago, the court appointed him to go to other places to serve as the governor.Now guarding the Lu residence is Lu Dunyi, a descendant of Lu Deming's elder brother.

Hearing that it was Lu Deming's student visiting, Lu Dunyi didn't care too much at first.Over the years, there have been many people claiming to be Lu Deming's disciples. At first, the Lu family treated them well.But after discovering many impostors, Lu Dunyi became a little loose.As long as there are people coming, I will leave it to my son to deal with it.

So when he saw the famous post, Lu Dunyi didn't read the content inside, and said casually to his son who was studying: "Zhengming, go and have a look. I don't know where the scholar came to pay tribute to uncle. .”

Lu Zhengming has said and done this kind of thing hundreds of times in the past two years. He took the name card from his father and read it seriously.

Lu Dunyi doesn't need to be serious, but he is going to greet guests, so he can't be negligent.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengming's heart began to beat wildly.The leg that was about to step out was immediately retracted, and he said to Lu Dunyi very cautiously: "Grandfather, I am afraid that this person will still need to be greeted by Grandpa in person. If possible, we should take the person from the big room It’s best to invite people.”

Hearing this, Lu Dunyi was a little surprised.

My son has gradually started to take care of things in the past few years, and he handles many affairs in the family on his behalf.Even when the magistrate of Wu County came, his son could handle it well.Could it be that the governor of Suzhou came today?

Seeing his grandfather's confused face, Lu Zhengming handed the name card to him, and smiled wryly: "Grandpa, let's take a closer look at who this name card belongs to."

Famous posts?By the way, it is a famous post.Lu Dunyi hastily flipped through the thin paper, only to see that it was written in a very dignified handwriting: "Mr. Lu is a member of Deming's sect, Mr. Luo Yan of Chengguo."

This is a famous post specially made by Luo Yan, and puts the identity of Lu Deming's disciple first, to show respect for the former teacher.In other places, it has never happened.

Lu Dunyi was suddenly anxious.This time, they are really Lu Deming's disciples. Now when the people of Wu County boast to the outside world, they will definitely say: "Our Wu County male, but the professor has produced a young hero like Cheng Guogong." The boast is full of excitement , and also recite the sacrificial oration that Luo Yan wrote to Lu Deming at the beginning.

Now that the real person is in front of his gate, he almost treats him like an ordinary person.If the eldest brother in the distant place finds out, he can't scold himself to death.

"Hurry up, Mrs. Changfang and Miss please go to the main hall. Zhengming, come with me to meet Cheng Guogong." Lu Dunyi made such an arrangement, but he had already walked out of the room.

The mansion was in such a hurry that Luo Yan was not kept waiting for a long time.After half a stick of incense, the central door of Lu's mansion opened wide, and a middle-aged man with a stature of seven feet and gorgeous clothes came out with a slightly thinner youth in Tsing Yi.

Seeing Luo Yan and Chang Le standing at the front of the crowd, he came up and cupped his hands: "On the opposite side is Cheng Guogong, I am Lu Dunyi, the second room of the Lu family, and I am the head of the Lu family. The boat is exhausted, and I invite Cheng Guogong to enter the mansion Take a bath and rest."

Lu Deming hadn't told Luo Yan about his hometown before, but once he heard Lu Dunyi's name, he knew that he was from the same generation as Lu Dunxin.

The elders are respected, Luo Yan received this worship, but he didn't know it before.Now that he knew the identity of the other party, he naturally did not dare to act presumptuously.Bowing down to Lu Dunyi, he said, "It turned out to be the second brother of the Lu family. Luo Yan came here without warning. Please forgive me."

The arrogance of a prince can't be seen on him at all.

Seeing Luo Yan being so polite, Lu Dunyi also breathed a sigh of relief.Although he knew that Luo Yan was talented in writing, Lu Dunyi really didn't know what his character was.I was worried before, if this person is too majestic, what should the Lu family do.

After leading Luo Yan into the gate of the mansion, he suddenly heard Luo Yan behind him say: "It's hard to come here, and it's not suitable to go to the teacher's grave today to fulfill my filial piety. I don't know if the ancestral hall in the mansion can allow Luo Yan to enter. Fortunately, the teacher Offer a stick of incense before the spirit."

When Lu Dunyi heard this, he felt more at ease.

However, any family with a long history must have an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.But there are quite a lot of rules inside, some do not allow women to enter, and some do not allow outsiders to enter.There are various rules.If Luo Yan disregarded the rules and forced his way in today, the Lu family wouldn't be able to stop him too much.

But now that Luo Yan asked, Lu Dunyi felt that it was worth making an exception.

"Previously, there were many scholars in front of the ancestral hall. However, the Duke is a disciple of the uncle, and there is even a saying that one day will be a teacher and a father for life. If the Duke is not allowed to enter, it is a bit unreasonable. I think so, I Set up the Duke's house for now, and then go to the ancestral hall after I have a bath and change clothes. I don't know what the Duke wants?"

Luo Yan just wanted to try it before, but he didn't expect Lu Dunyi to answer like this.Immediately, he was overjoyed and bowed to Lu Dunyi.

　Well, because many book friends asked for an updated explanation, Xiaodao can only tell the truth.Because of stomach problems, I was only discharged from the hospital on Saturday last week. During this period, I started to rest, so the previous breaks were a bit repeated.But it will return to normal later on.I beg everyone to forgive me.
