Acting in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

The situation in Wagang gradually stabilized. Shan Xiongxin wanted to take all his family and relatives with him, but he got the news that Yang Guang asked Li Yuan to kill the whole family of Shan's family.Yingying, a younger sister of the Shan family who had been by her brother's side all this time, learned of this and went down the mountain angrily, vowing to assassinate the faint king to avenge her family.

The emperor is about to arrive, and the investigation in Taiyuan City is rigorous.Shan Yingying held the fake household certificate and lined up nervously among the crowd.The front seems to be checking a team of people.Hearing people gossip that the thin young man standing at the gate of the city to personally check the passing vehicles and horses is Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan's family. Yingying knew that it was the Li family who had been ordered by the faint king to slaughter the whole family of the Shan family. I also had to endure it first, and then make plans after entering the city.

Li Jiancheng was horrified when he saw the leader of the convoy.While turning around to give instructions to his subordinates, he stopped them bravely to buy time.

"Da Lang doesn't even know us?" From the slightly raised side curtain of the carriage came a silver-like laughter, as if he was talking to the rider.

Shan Yingying tiptoed to see the girl, but was blocked by the crowd in front.

"It turned out to be..." Li Jiancheng lowered his hands in embarrassment, bowed deeply, and seemed to be looking down for words to address, and finally said, "Auntie. My nephew's eyesight was dim for a while, so I didn't recognize my uncle."

He was actually a relative of the Li family.Yingying thought about it, so she stopped paying attention.After Li Jiancheng led his relatives away, the officials guarding the city obviously became lazy. Shan Yingying quickly entered the city and found an inn to stay temporarily, no problem.

"Wait a minute!" The wheels ran over the busy city, and when they reached the relatively secluded road, Yu Wencheng raised his hand to stop the convoy from moving forward.

At the gate of the city, Li Jiancheng could see the expression of bowing his head to order his subordinates.At this time, the subordinate changed his clothes, and was sneakily leading a few carts covered with white canvas and rushing towards him.

Yu Wencheng glanced at Li Jiancheng meaningfully, jumped off the horse, walked to the cart, lifted a corner of the white cloth with gold-plated phoenix wings, and carefully looked at the contents inside.Despite being puzzled, he still put down the canvas without saying a word, and returned to his horse.

Li Jiancheng reined in the reins and closed his eyes in annoyance.If you don't listen to questions, you will feel even more uneasy.

What exactly is it?Qionghua looked out through the curtain of the car in doubt, she couldn't remember what was going on in the Li family at this time.

Li Yuan personally supervised the construction of the palace outside the city, and the old lady was the one who could make the most decisions in the family.

The old lady of the Li family is Li Yuan's biological mother, Dugu Aoki. Li Yuan lost his father and brother when he was young. After becoming a nobleman at the age of seven, Li Yuan grew up under the care of his young widowed mother.During the Zhou Dynasty, she was the younger sister of Empress Mingjing Dugu, and in the Sui Dynasty, she was the older sister of Dugu Jialuo.Of course, after Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, she herself was posthumously named queen.This story may want to tell us that the essence of dynastic change in the Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties was aristocratic politics, and the Wagang Uprising was actually soy sauce.

The way this Dugu appeared here was to let the servants close the door after they got off the car and entered the door.Then he tremblingly chased Li Jiancheng all over the yard with a cane and beat him, "I told you a long time ago that the theory of strange power and chaos is not credible. Your mother is seriously ill, so you can go to the doctor in a hurry, and you just listen to the fortune-telling words on the street." ?”

The servant girl in the mansion withdrew wisely, and Li Yuanba, who was locked in a cage in the courtyard, was ignorant of worldly affairs, and probably felt that he was not the only one being beaten at last, so he stretched out his hand over the railing and clapped his hands, "Well beaten, well beaten! "

Yuwen Chengdu and Qionghua said that what they saw on the cart were some single-surnamed family tablets. Before she had time to think about it, the eldest nephew who shouted "Grandma, please forgive me" ran around behind her to ask for help, and then walked around with a cane. Dugu Qingmu was stunned for a moment as if he just saw them.

"Fourth aunt." Although she didn't know her, since she was a real aunt, she must have "seen" her since she was a child.

Although the sisters of the Dugu family were not from the same mother, they had a good relationship before.Even if idlers often provoke and gossip about sisters, younger sisters are more expensive than their husbands, and when they reach middle age, they can jump from a minister's wife to the next position, and the husband and wife are loving and happy. Aoki only said that everyone has their own destiny, and didn't pay much attention to it.A few years ago when Li Yuan entered the court as an official, Dugu Qingmu fell seriously ill. Jia Luo took pity on the fourth sister who was old and frail, and told her to take care of her health before returning to Daxing. However, before she recovered her health, Li Yuan was exiled. let go.At that time, Dugu Aoki began to complain that his younger sister didn't even take care of her nephew, so she never made court visits. Even Dugu Jialuo and Yang Jian passed away one after another. Ill, unable to go to Chang'an to worship.

Dugu Qingmu was still relentless, "His Royal Highness, step aside. I must teach this unworthy grandson a lesson today."

"My aunt's housework, the younger generation dare not take care of it." According to the normal routine, she should stop this matter.But at this time Qionghua stood aside and innocently stepped aside, leaving the stage to their grandparents.You play your part, I watch the play.

Yu Wencheng pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, without saying a word.Seeing that Dugu Qingmu hit Li Jiancheng solidly several times, his strength was exhausted, so he stretched out his hand to help him.

The old lady who had finally finished a set of scenes burst into tears, still pointing at Li Jiancheng and cursing, "The family is unlucky!"

Li Jiancheng pouted, as if he wanted to explain something, but he held back after all.

"What's going on?" In fact, although Qionghua could see that her grandparents and grandchildren were acting, but because she didn't know much about the plot, she only heard a little about it.

"A few days ago, Li Yuan was ordered to deal with a group of rebellious officials and thieves. It just so happened that Mrs. Dou fell seriously ill recently. Jian Jiancheng asked the quack warlocks and said that he was haunted by evil spirits. So he invited Taoist priests to do it at home to drive away evil spirits and kill the rebels. The memorial tablet of the family members was brought to the family temple. I am so angry." Dugu Qingmu stroked his chest, as if his anger still persisted.

Yuwen Chengdu also asked, "Where is the Shan family?"

"It's the family of Shan Xiongxin, the Wagang bandit." Li Jiancheng interjected.He still felt aggrieved, which was obviously not the case.

"It's all old man who doesn't manage his family strictly, let the two of you see it as a joke." Dugu Qingmu wiped his tears, and clapped his hands to call the servants to arrange a place for them to live in.Arrange things clearly.

The full moon is shining brightly, and the stars are shining brightly.

Before Li Jing arrived in Taiyuan, he was an official under Li Yuan.After staying in Tang Guogong's mansion, Qionghua specially asked Li Jing and his wife to have a banquet at the inn, asking about the stories they knew from their perspective.

Yang Guang ordered the entire Shan family to be beheaded. Li Yuan originally wanted to arrest them first, to see if he could get them the result of adult men Ling Chi, women and underage men being exiled or serving as official slaves, but the people in the Jianghu were arrogant and did it. The coffin tablets of the whole family were prepared, holding candles and holding knives, and resisting arrest with a mentality of mortal danger. Li Yuan is a court official at this time, and he also has children to protect. Hundreds of members of the family were beheaded on the spot, including Shan Xiongxin's pregnant wife and nephew who hadn't learned to speak or walk... A big family always has something to do. Recently, it was an eventful autumn. Li Yuanba, who had returned from his studies, caused troubles everywhere, and Li Yuan's first wife, Dou Shi, was always sick.

Now it's the fifth and seventh day of this single family.From Li Jing's local observation in Taiyuan, he thinks that in order to reassure himself, Tang Guogong's mansion closed the door and performed a ritual ceremony by himself to save the dead souls of the Shan family. Li Jiancheng must not let people go home to communicate and organize things, so as not to be charged with treason for no reason.

The point is that saving the soul of the dead and expelling evil spirits are two concepts.Since the Shan family is the so-called rebellious officials and thieves, then we can't have any sympathy for his family, otherwise the Li family will also be suspected of treason. Even if there is a mistake, it has nothing to do with treason.

Li Jing expressed his opinion bluntly in the next chapter, "Say something outrageous and immoral. Even so, the Duke of Tang is not at fault. The "Kaihuang Law" formulated by the late emperor advocates 'replacing the heavy with the light, and turning death into life'. It's just that 'father, son, and brother are beheaded, and there is no official in the family' to give the prisoner's family a way of life. If Tang Guogong has no guilt after killing a pregnant woman and baby, what is the difference with an animal?"

Zhang Chuchen couldn't stop him from the sidelines, so he could only add more vegetables to Li Jing's bowl, and pulled his sleeves to remind him: "The food in this inn seems to be salty today."

"It's the same as before." Li Jing lowered his head and tasted another bite of green vegetables in doubt, then turned his head to look at Chuchen, and suddenly heard the eldest princess ask "Will you tell the emperor about this?" and blurted out: " of course not."

On Zhang Chuchen's increasingly pale face, Li Jing felt what happened belatedly, and realized that the question was not for himself, so he bowed his head and said nothing.

As the absolute victorious party in this Sui and Tang Dynasty story, the Li Yuan family is not a complete white lotus in this version, which is simply touching.Of course, in the final analysis, it is Yang Guang who wants to punish the men and women of the Shan family, and the Li family is just following orders.Being forced to do something they don't want to do, is it probably an ambush for their family's future anti-Sui?

Then it seems that Dugu Aoki's play is justifiable to bluff them, after all, the lives of the whole family are at stake.But looking at this matter from other perspectives, the private possession of the "rebel" tablet, and even the salvation of the soul of the "rebel" must also be linked to treason.Therefore, the key point at this time is whether someone will tell Yang Guang about this matter.She asked more bluntly.

What has been said may have two directions. One is that the aura of the Victory Party is swept away, and the Li family is saved from danger, and they will be recorded in a small book from then on; No, this world is gone.

"The three generations of Tang Guogong's Shangzhu Kingdom should indeed have nothing to do with the people in the grass. And whether it is exorcising evil spirits or saving the dead, it is one-sided. If you want to say that his family is suspected of treason, it is really reluctant." After going through so many things, Yu Wencheng could understand Li Yuan: the king's order was hard to break, so he had to kill Shan's family, but in fact he knew clearly that at least women and babies should not die. Made nothing.

Qionghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the "brainwashing" these days has paid off.In fact, it doesn't mean that the Li family and Wagang have nothing to do with each other at all, but it's best to turn this matter over so that it doesn't cause any new accidents.

The Li family entertained them for the past few days, which can be regarded as warm and thoughtful, without any details.The Fourth Aunt Lonely was able to judge the situation in a short period of time, and if she pulled Li Jiancheng into such a scene, she might not understand that they might guess what was going on through other means.Tang Guogong's mansion is making a huge gamble, betting whether they also have the slightest disagreement with Yang Guang's actions.

"Boss, two skewers." After searching for half a day on the street, I finally found the peddler who Li Yuanba said was selling the best candied haws. After paying the money, Qionghua took a bunch of candied haws and handed them to Yuwen Chengdu. Good purse, take the second string by the way.

When he just started to remember, Yu Wencheng was curious about what this round and red bead tasted like, but his father, who was already a court official at that time, could not notice his curiosity at all, and the aunts at home speculated Father's preferences also favored Jackie Chan, let alone caring about him.Later, when he got a little older, he himself felt that this was something only children would eat, and gradually he didn't care about it.

Yuwen Chengdu repeatedly confirmed that there was no one he knew on the street. He lowered his head and looked left and right, and finally bit one down. His teeth were sour and sweet. Before he could make an evaluation, he saw Qionghua look over in doubt, "Why do you want to steal?" Candied haws for Yuanba?"

……

After the silence, Yu Wencheng handed back the string of "beads" that was missing one in embarrassment, but Qionghua didn't go to take it, but instead took half of a candied haws with his hand.

"Didn't it be for Li Yuanba?"

"Do you believe in nonsense?" He completely swallowed the sugar residue in his mouth, looked up to meet his puzzled expression, and shook the second candied haws in his hand.One is for Li Yuanba who is "in prison" at home, and the other is for himself to eat. It's not that I didn't expect him to be there. In fact, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, any normal person would put Yuwen Chengdu and candied haws together. No, people and things associate together?

"Oh." General Tianbao nodded solemnly, then withdrew his hand with a smirk.

Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who still wanted to take another bite of the candied haws, was in vain.The words became a prophecy, once before, he lied to Yu Wenhua and Chengdu robbed her of candied haws, and now it has come true.
