Disaster for the country

The carriage galloped on the official road, the wheels rolled over and drummed, and the horseshoes crushed the autumn leaves and flew, splashing dust and billowing.

When we arrived in Youzhou, the sky had already darkened, and the night covered the light like a black veil, tightly covering the darkness in this world. Feng Yucheng's mother stood on the side of the road with a cane, watching with tears in her eyes. Looking in the distance, a mother seemed to be waiting for something in the cold wind. Her eyes were empty, but she was looking ahead with tears in the corners of her eyes. She was standing at the door with a white lantern in her hand, looking towards the intersection...

The evening wind blew her gray hair, and she looked haggard. In the howling evening wind, she looked like a yellow leaf in the cold winter wind. She wrapped her clothes tightly and listened to the front. Her eyes had already caught the attention of her son. During the few days of her death, she was blinded by crying. At this moment, she can only listen to the distance with her heart, as if she is still looking forward to something.

"Are you from Kyoto?" She seemed to hear Xin Luoyi parked the carriage not far from her, she seemed to be a little happy, with a little overjoyed expression on her face.

After Xin Luoyi helped Li Shanjian get off the carriage, the old man came up eagerly and asked, "Are you from Kyoto?"

Xin Luoyi nodded: "Yes, old man, what's the matter?"

"Have you seen my son?"

"What does your son look like?"

"White and thin, so tall." The old lady made a gesture: "My son is Feng Yucheng, and he is the champion of the new division. It must be him...have you seen..."

Li Shanjian and Xin Luoyi looked at each other, but didn't say much. Is this old man really crazy?Every day and every night, I wait here for my son with a white lantern, and ask passers-by if there is anyone passing by on a tall horse and wearing a champion uniform.

Xin Luoyi hurriedly said: "No." Seeing the light in the old mother's eyes dimming little by little, she couldn't bear it after all, and added: "Zhuangyuan Lang has a lot of things to do, and he has dealt with a lot of things in the capital. You can only go back to your hometown to sue your ancestors, so your son must be busy with some things in the court."

"Oh, thank you, let me tell you, my son is a well-known talent in Youzhou, and he will definitely return to his hometown as the champion of high school." The old man seemed to be full of expectations, the joy on his face matched the white lantern in his hand a huge contrast.

"Old man, our husband and wife..."

Before Xin Luoyi could finish speaking, Li Shanzhi interrupted him. Li Shanzhi bent him with his elbow, just right on his heart. Because of his serious illness, Li Shanzhi didn't hit him too hard, but he He almost used all his strength, because he knew what Xin Luoyi was going to say, and Xin Luoyi's words were blocked before he could say them. That fellow Xin Luoyi had a cheap mouth, and there must be nothing good to say that came out of his mouth.

Xin Luoyi actually wanted to say "Our husband and wife were robbed by bandits", but before he could say it, Li Shanjian interrupted him completely, because he felt that they were going to be secret agents. Usually those who work carefully are pretending to be husband and wife, so he asked Li Shanzhi to just rest and not talk along the way, so that they could pretend to be husband and wife, but Li Shanzhi didn't show face at all, he gave Xin Luoyi a blank look, and Xin Luo Yi rubbed her heart to signal herself to shut up.

"Old man, our brother went to Beijing to study, but unexpectedly encountered robbers on the way, and all his money was robbed. It's so late, can we stay with you for a night?"

Hearing the word study, the old man burst into tears. She pointed to the white lantern she held in her hand: "Is it dark? If it is dark, please help me see if the candle on the lantern is out? If not Light the lamp, and my son won't be able to find his way home."

She was a bit in a trance, and she was still in joy and anticipation just now, but now her face was still full of tears, so sad that it made people cry.

"The light is on." Xin Luoyi said, he rubbed his heart again aggrieved and glanced at Li Shanjian, Li Shanjian was leaning on his body, now Xin Luoyi became all his support.

"Your brother seems to be seriously injured? The current world..." Feng's mother sighed, her words were drowned in the wind, "There are robbers everywhere, and you can see people cannibalizing everywhere. "

After finishing speaking, she wiped away her tears again, turned around, and walked back with a white lantern: "Come with us, my house is relatively simple, so please don't dislike it."

She was dressed too thinly, she was so skinny, her clothes were rickety, and the cold wind made her clothes and hair flutter, Li Shanzhi was about to take off her cloak for her, when Xin Luoyi grabbed Li Shanzhi and untied her The hand of the cloak, he gave his cloak to the old man, and then smiled at Li Shanzang.

After finally walking to the old man's house, the old man lit the only oil lamp and took them to the side room. She said to Xin Luoyi, "you can stay here for one night. This is my son's room. It's really shabby..."

Xin Luoyi quickly thanked her, and after she thanked her, she looked around the house. The inside of the house was very simple but very clean. He wrote various books, and there are also Feng Yucheng's paintings and poems, but those have become relics.

After a while, the old man came in with a pot of water: "It's cold, drink some hot water to warm your body."

Xin Luoyi hurriedly thanked her.

After hearing this, the old man turned around and left. Although the house looked shabby, there was nothing missing. Even the rice paper pasted on the carved windows was better rice paper. After all, the Feng family was a down-and-out family. The appearance also thinks of his aristocratic demeanor, which is difficult for many people to achieve.

Poverty is the most tempering, in poverty one can see a person's ultimate quality and habits, and this old man has maintained his last bit of aristocratic demeanor in poverty.

After the old man left, Xin Luoyi poured a glass of water for Lishanzhi, but Lishanzhi didn't move, and there was no trace in the house. A woman who knows how to use a mandala should be a very smart woman. There was no way to put all this together with the old man.

Li Shanzhi looked at Xin Luoyi and did not speak. When the wind blew at night, it was extremely cold in the room. Xin Luoyi rubbed his hands. Then he looked at Li Shanzhi. He poured two glasses of water and handed one to Li Shanzhi. , Li Shanzhi took a sip and stared at the bowl filled with water, Xin Luoyi also drank the hot water.

Xin Luoyi searched almost the entire house, not to mention herbs, not even a few grasses.

"Shanzhi, let's go to sleep. There are no traces in this house." Xin Luoyi took a sip of water, turned to Li Shanzhi and said to Li Shanzhi. The bowl of boiling water did not answer Xin Luoyi's words.

"Strange, really strange..." Xin Luoyi walked up and down, as if he had discovered something.

"Oh?" Li Shanjian replied, maybe it was an exclamation tone, maybe it was a rhetorical question, but it must not be a declarative sentence.

Xin Luoyi walked back and forth, and suddenly sat in front of Li Shanzhi, looking him up and down: "Have you already discovered the problem? With your ingenuity, how could you not have discovered the problem?" ?”

Li Shanjian ignored him, Xin Luoyi suddenly held Li Shanjian's head in a very angry manner and raised it up: "Are you laughing at my stupidity?"

"Do you think I look like I'm laughing at you?" Li Shanjian was as cold as water and as gentle as the moon. His eyes were calm at the moment, but there was always a little tenderness. This kind of tenderness was different from other tenderness. A kind of tenderness that rejects people thousands of miles away.

"I don't know, you seem to know that you can't find any traces, if you don't stop me, you are not a joke, what am I?"

"Shouldn't you be looking for it?" Li Shanjian asked back, this rhetorical question left Xin Luoyi speechless, he didn't know how to reply to Li Shanjian.

In the end, he held Li Shanzhi's face in frustration, trying to force him to look at him, but there was no shame in Li Shanzhi's eyes, and he looked at Xin Luoyi and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xin Luoyi said: "No reason, I just want to see you and see how you play tricks on me."

Li Shanjian smiled at him softly, a little helplessly, Xin Luoyi was stunned, and finally understood why those emperors in ancient times would play with the flames of war and play tricks on the feudal lords, and a thousand pieces of gold would make a smile. If you can see such a smile, what is money and wealth? , honor and infamy are nothing, everything, everything is nothing...

It's better not to meet the beauty of the city, Shan Zong smiles and the world falls...

This sentence is full of traces in the unofficial history of Da Que. All the storytellers who talked about the person who brought disaster to the country in the prosperous age of Da Que always had this sentence. There are rumors that this sentence was a young king when he was a teenager. The sentence he wrote, this sentence accompanied him all his life, and some people said that this was the young emperor who had a bit of a romantic history, and smiled for the sake of the person who caused disasters for the country... Many, many... But this sentence, forever It has aroused countless reveries for future generations, but all future generations know that this person who has caused disasters to the country is a man who can overwhelm the country...

"Da Que. Feng Wu Zhi" once recorded: Xin Luoyi, the world's number one dandy, traveled to Youzhou when he was young. After returning to Kyoto, he continued to eat, drink and play. In the land of fireworks, he got drunk and had a beautiful woman accidentally Spilling wine on his expensive clothes, he laughed, and the beauty turned pale with fright.He embraced the beauty, held up the white jade cup to everyone, and asked to have fun with them. He told the beauty, "There is a kind of person in this world who has privileges, and that person is a beauty. As long as they are beautiful, this is a privilege."

All the beauties laughed, and someone asked: "Have you ever seen the most beautiful person in the world?"

Xin Luoyi laughed loudly: "It's better not to meet the beauty of the city, Shan Zang smiles and the world falls!"

As a result, this sentence spread all over the world in a short time. Some rich and prodigal sons even stopped his sedan chair in the street and abandoned their wealth in the street just to see Li Shanzhi smile.

All of a sudden, the capital of Daque was blocked in traffic because of this, as long as Li Shanzhi's carriage passed by, students skipped classes, merchants went on strike, farmers abandoned their fields, and peddlers forgot their way...

Because of this sentence, Li Shanjian’s myth was rewritten, and his myth permeated from literati to all aspects. Many historians also recorded him from Ye Mingzhu, who was the first in the imperial examination at the age of seven, to Qingcheng, who was 16 years old. color.

"Da Que. The Biography of Shanzhi" once said: Li Jiashan's life is a disaster for the country, and it is better not to meet the beauty of the city, Shanzhi smiles and the world falls.

The author has something to say:

So what, no accident, it is on the bed, not in the water (I like the water best), after all, it is the first time for my family to warm the oil.
