Chapter 20: How much do you know about the past?
"Let me ask you, can people here not marry women? Don't you want to marry women, Yanchen?"
"What did the young master say? Of course, Xiaochen will marry a woman and have children in the future! But, that doesn't prevent me from continuing to serve the young master! You see, after my father and my mother get married, they will still be with my wife, continue Waiting on Madam! What's wrong with the young master, it really looks like a different person!"
"That's pretty much the same!" Zhang Ren heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking strangely: "Then do you like me before, or me like this now?"
After speaking, Zhang Ren suddenly felt awkward, and shivered.
"This? Actually, it's all the same to me! As long as the young master is safe and sound, Xiao Chen is willing to accept any punishment. No matter what the young master becomes, the young master will always be my young master!"
Zhang Ren felt inexplicably moved when he heard this. He really didn't expect children in this world to be so innocent, so he said excitedly:
"What a good brother! I recognize you as a brother! From now on, don't call me a young master, let's call me brothers!"
"It's absolutely impossible. The master and wife said the same thing before, but my father and mother forbade it, saying that would break the rules!"
Zhang Ren thought for a while and said:
"That's how it is. This is a secret between us. You can call me young master in front of others in the future. We must be brothers in private."
"Listen to the young master!"
"Brother Kuan, come, give me a hug!"
"Okay, young master, oh no, it's my dear brother!"
With that said, the two children hugged each other tightly, like brothers.
Outside the room, Master Zhang and Mrs. Lian walked out of the house, preparing to go to the house of their father, the county magistrate.Mrs. Lian felt strange all the time, and asked:
"Zijun, why do I feel that our Ren'er seems to be different, the doctor said before that his pulse is extremely disordered, why don't we ask the doctor to take the pulse again?"
"I don't think so, the child has said it himself, there is nothing uncomfortable. Besides, the child is sensible, what is different! After experiencing some extraordinary things, he will become more sensible. My son, Let me tell you, before the child was ignorant, you didn't care. Now that the child is sensible, you are impatient! Haha!"
As he said that, Mr. Zhang laughed out loud. First, he was happy for the child's sensibility, and second, he felt that women's minds were really strange.
"But, this change is too fast!" Mrs. Lian was still worried.
"Let's go, my father-in-law is still waiting for us to discuss things! If you say that the changes are so fast, it's really not as good as the sky! Remember what I told you, that Zhu Wen who slept in my pigpen once , and now he has openly violated his superiors and put the young emperor under house arrest!"
"I remember, you said that he also beat your old sow to death."
"That's right, it's this ruthless guy."
While chatting, the two walked towards the county government mansion.
The mansion of Mr. Lian, the county magistrate, is holding a tense meeting at this time.All the civil servants in the county, from the county magistrate in Pucheng to the Lizheng in the townships, were all present.In the conference hall, there was a lot of voices, everyone was talking to each other, shaking their heads, a scene of panic.Mr. Lian, the magistrate of the county, was helpless, and he was also full of sorrow, sighing!
Suddenly, a servant came in and reported that Missy and Mr. Zhang came back after finishing their work at home.
The noise in the meeting hall stopped abruptly, and the civil servants present stood up one after another to welcome the return of Zhang Zijun and Mrs. Lian.The sadness on the county magistrate's brow disappeared immediately.
"There was a small incident at home, and everyone has been waiting for a long time, please forgive me!" Zhang Zijun immediately saluted and apologized after entering the door.
"Where, where, Mr. Zhang has worked hard." All the civil servants responded one after another.
"Father, we are here!" Mrs. Lian said to the county magistrate.
"What happened at home?" Master Lian asked anxiously.
"It's all right, don't worry."
"That's good, please sit down, let's continue the meeting! Zaijun, you continue to chair the meeting."
"Yes, father-in-law."
After Zhang Zijun took his seat, he said:
"As I said just now, when Wei Wang Zhu Wen supported the young prince Li Yu to become emperor, and later killed the former emperor's prince Li Yu, as well as Pei Shu, Dugu Sun, Jiang Xuanhui, Liu Can and other important court officials, the desire to seize power is clearly revealed."
"According to Mr. Zhang's opinion, does Zhu Wen want to abolish Tang and proclaim himself emperor?" Someone asked.
Zhang Zijun thought deeply for three seconds, and said firmly:
"In less than half a month, then Zhu Wen will be persuaded by all the officials on the surface, and then officially proclaim the emperor."
As soon as Zhang Zijun's words came out, the civil servants present were like a pot that had exploded. Some were furious, some were crying bitterly, and started discussing one after another.
"It's unreasonable, this Zhu Wen, where did he get such a brave heart and leopard courage?"
"Dog thing, it's a big treason!"
"What should we do? He must not be allowed to succeed. We must swear to the death to defend the Li family of the Tang Dynasty."
"Defend a bird, I'm just upright, do you want me to defend it with a hoe?"
"Your Majesty the late emperor! You are about to show your powers, let this bastard Zhu Wen suffer a terrible death!"
……
Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, the county magistrate quickly waved his hand, stopped and said:
"Silence, silence, please control your emotions, we are in a meeting now!"
Seeing that everyone's emotions have stabilized, the magistrate ordered again:
"Zaijun, keep talking!"
Zhang Zijun just saw that everyone was full of resentment, but he laughed and said nothing.The fortune of the Tang Dynasty has lasted for nearly 300 years, and now it is indeed exhausted.Although he had these words in his heart, he could not say them in front of everyone.He knew that the most important thing right now was to appease everyone's emotions.He said:
"If you want to ask where Zhu Wen got the courage, I want to say that it was given by our late emperor."
"Please tell Mr. Zhang clearly." Someone asked.
"Back then, when Huang Chao led the army to invade our Pucheng, Zhu Wen was just a small vanguard envoy. Huang Chao looked down on him, knowing that he was the third eldest in the family, so he called him the naughty Zhu San'er. Huang Chao asked Zhu Wen to pretend to be a gangster. When I went to the city, I invited my father for my own use. But my father not only refused, but also let him sleep in the pigpen at home. Later, Huang Chao heard that my sow was beaten to death by Zhu Wen. , Although he had already led the army into the city, he withdrew immediately. My father said that it was worth it to kill a sow and keep the peace of the city!
"Later, the rebel army marched into Fuzhou, then conquered Guangzhou, and then went northward, finally conquering Luoyang, the eastern capital, and then took advantage of the victory to break through Tongguan and invade Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Wen followed Huang Chao to fight in the north and south, and made many military exploits. A general under Huang Chao. However, Zhu Wen participated in the Huang Chao uprising not for the happiness of the hard-working people, nor for the idea of doing justice for the heavens, but only out of a selfish desire to get rich and get ahead. Later, he became an official and returned to his hometown. When he was unable to get along with Huang Chao’s army, in order to survive and get rich, he followed the counselor’s plan to betray Huang Chao and surrendered to the Tang court. Lu Tang's army encircled Chang'an and met with the brothers who fought side by side in the past. Huang Chao could not resist and had to withdraw from Chang'an. Zhu Wen took advantage of the victory to pursue Huang Chao's army and fought all the way to Bianzhou. Finally, Zhu Wen and Hedong Jiedu envoy Li Ke defeated Huang Chaojun.
"Soon, Zhu Wen took the late emperor back to Chang'an and killed more than 700 eunuchs. The eunuch power, which had been in power for a long time since the mid-Tang Dynasty, was completely blown. Zhu Wen was appointed as the Shou Taiwei, concurrently the Secretary of the Central Committee, and entered the rank of Liang King. However, Zhu Wen was not satisfied and asked to move the capital to Luoyang. Afterwards, the first emperor died suddenly. Zhu Wen took the order of the queen to make the 13-year-old prince Li Jue the emperor, and was appointed as the prime minister, the chief of Baikui, and entered the Wei Dynasty. The king, with Xuanwu and other 21 Dao as the Wei State, has the command of Jiuxi."
Zhang Zijun spoke eloquently, and when he saw everyone heaving and sighing, his face showed sadness, and he turned to comfort him:
"Zhu Wen's licentiousness, like animals, there will be retribution, so there is no need to worry too much. What is urgent now is the general trend of the world. There will be chaos, and there will be peace in the chaos. What we should think more about is how to preserve our Pucheng. The state, and even our Fujian region, can find peace amidst the chaos."
"It's reasonable and well said." After hearing Zhang Zijun's point of view, everyone praised and agreed, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, please explain clearly, where should we go?"
Zhang Zijun showed joy and said:
"Presumably everyone has heard that Wang Shenzhi, the mighty military governor stationed in Fuzhou, won the hearts of the people, respected the virtuous and corporal, and was good at employing people. Wang Shenzhi gave gifts to the sages who came to seek refuge, and respected the people who fled. Give Zhou Ji. With him, Fujian will surely be safe and peaceful in the troubled times."
After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and asked one after another:
"For the peace of Fujian, I also invite Mr. Zhang to come out of the mountain and help Master Jiedushi."
Zhang Zijun thought deeply again, then got up, asked the county magistrate, and said:
"My lord father-in-law, within a few days, I will plan to formulate three strategies of war, strategy of attack, and strategy of defense, and then go to Fuzhou to present it to Lord Jiedushi."
Everyone was overjoyed and got up to salute one after another:
"Mr. Zhang is wise and kind, Mr. Lian is gratifying and congratulatory."
The county magistrate Lian laughed heartily, and with the help of his daughter Lian, he got up and said:
"Pucheng is also a blessed place! Back then, Zijun's father, Mr. Zhang Xiu, drove back the Huangchao army with the sacrifice of only one sow. Now, my son-in-law, Zaijun, has to rely on three strategies of fighting, attacking, and defending to help save the country." I am very much looking forward to and have great confidence in keeping the peace of Fujian, my lord. Colleagues, tomorrow I will go to Jianzhou to report the results of today's meeting, and actively communicate and cooperate with other county magistrates. Everyone has worked hard, let's go home after the meeting .”
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Ren traveled to this new world, and two days have passed.
Zhang Ren knew very little about this period of history, except that the history books called this period the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.However, the description of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in modern history textbooks is only a brushstroke, perhaps because, compared with the long history, this period of time is too short, or perhaps because, compared with the stability of other historical stages, this period of history It's just too confusing.In any case, whether it is the Five Dynasties or the Ten Kingdoms, Zhang Ren, who has been reborn, is already mentally prepared to face it.
Zhang Ren tried his best to search for people and events related to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the ocean of knowledge.
Since the Five Dynasties was a transitional period between Tang and Song, then who ended Li Tang's national fortune, and who brought down Zhao and Song's world?Of course, Zhang Ren still remembered the names of these two people. They were Zhu Wen, who was more cunning than Cao Cao, and Zhao Kuangyin, who had perfect personality and charm.
However, Zhang Ren feels that the fame of the above-mentioned characters is often not as good as that of a subjugated king among the Ten Kingdoms. He is Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty.Zhang Ren remembers that in his previous life, he began to recite Li Yu's words when he was in junior high school.What is "when is the spring flower and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past", what is "the constant cutting, the reason is still chaotic, it is the sorrow of parting", what is the "flowing water and falling flowers, spring is gone, heaven and earth".Zhang Ren has memorized it fluently so far.
Thinking of these, Zhang Ren suddenly had more expectations for his new life.They come, the security.Even if history cannot be changed, if you can drink a glass of wine and chat with these characters, then this life will not be wasted.
