Brother Zhang was held down by several burly men, and then his hands were tied with strips of cloth and he was pulled aside. If this happened in the past, who would have dared to do this to him? He could lift all the ancestors' graves, but now he
Even a piece of rag can't be broken free. The main point is that he has no strength to restrain the chicken.
Without the ability to think whatever he wants, Brother Zhang felt that he was just a piece of fucking meat that could be slaughtered, but he had to resist to some extent at this time, so he shouted: "Where are you taking me?"
"Where to go? Of course, to a good place, don't be verbose, just go and wait!"
Are you being reasonable? If you tell these people clearly, there is no such thing as a scholar meeting a soldier. Moreover, these people are dressed like no ordinary soldiers. They are also covered with armor. These days, the war is chaotic, and the soldiers covered with armor are so...
They were either the royal guards of the emperor's relatives or the personal soldiers of some general.
Brother Zhang was dragged under the wall like a little chicken, and when he went over and saw, there were already a group of scholars strung over there, each with red lips and white teeth, and each of them weak and weak.
If he wasn't wearing a long gown, it would be fair to say that he was a young master selected by the White Horse Club.
And Brother Zhang is just one of these many living beings. Standing in a row is considered a match. After all, everyone is pretty good-looking...
"Overseer, do you have enough for fifty?"
"That's enough, that's enough, take it away!"
After the soldiers asked, the young master leading the long group began to swagger through the market. Brother Zhang was confused among this group. He didn't even know what he was doing. Anyway, he was just being carried away.
We walked through a long street.
On the way, the surrounding people opened their windows to see what was going on. Most of them were older girls and younger wives. They were extremely excited when they saw this group of twenty-eight-year-old scholars with red lips and white teeth being dragged through the long street.
, from time to time I would break off some flowers and sprinkle them down.
There was a lot of excitement along the way, and it was quite beautiful, and there was a frivolous scholar in the team who kept flirting upwards, making the girls in the group smile.
"You guys." The leader of the soldiers shouted to the surroundings: "Don't cause trouble to me. I really can't stand the loneliness, so I just followed together. When the time comes, I will pick out the rest and let them out, whether they are chickens or donkeys."
Just pick it up and try it at home."
The words shouted by the leader of the soldiers were very vulgar, but they caused a lot of noise among the girls, but Brother Zhang lowered his head and followed the people silently without looking up, and just arrived amidst the laughter and laughter of Yingying Yanyan.
In front of a courtyard wall.
At this time, he looked up and realized that this was not a courtyard wall, but a palace wall. Brother Zhang suddenly thought about the princess recruiting a consort. It seemed that no one was willing to marry a sick princess.
family, so the royal family simply cheated and started to match up with each other.
Before entering the palace, they all went through a very strict body search. They had to be pinched twice under the armpits, inside the thighs, and even by the arrogant eunuch. Four or five of them were removed on the spot.
The reason was not stated but it was self-evident. These few people basically hid their faces and ran away, fearing that others would see their joke, but they still could not resist the bursts of laughter from the people watching outside.
Even Brother Zhang couldn't hold back his laughter.
However, his laughter did not last long. It was his turn after all. When the eunuch saw Brother Zhang, his eyes really lit up, and he secretly poked and sneered several times. He wanted to check his arm.
The limb sockets and thigh roots are almost the same, and even the teeth, ears, fingernails were not spared when I got to Brother Zhang.
"Clean, really clean. He is a decent man." The eunuch praised repeatedly: "Okay, okay, this is good. Take it with you, don't keep your majesty waiting."
Brother Zhang was originally a decent person, the kind who would rather skip meals than keep himself clean. Although his body was a little thinner, it more reflected his bookish temperament, which was the best in the Song Dynasty.
With its popular appearance, no wonder the old eunuch praised it repeatedly.
Following the team, we arrived at the palace. The standard of this place was that of a prince, not the style of a true emperor. It was probably because the Liao people had driven them here in advance and they had not had time to make a name for themselves.
But even a runaway emperor cannot be ignored. After entering, the group was taken to a big room. Those who had dirt on their necks and behind their ears were given a bucket of cold water and asked to wash themselves clean.
But when we arrived at Brother Zhang's place, the eunuch in charge of checking the watering was as satisfied as the eunuch at the door. He even pulled a piece of hair under his nose and smelled it. He found that there was no smell at all, so he waved his hand to let him pass with satisfaction.
.
After passing three gates and six inspections, we finally came to a main hall. These people were not treated well. One person threw a futon and asked them to sit there and wait. Then no one came to take care of them, but
There were two warriors in golden armor standing at the door with swords in hand. They didn't even dare to move.
After sitting there for about an hour, there suddenly came the sound of a large number of footsteps from behind. Everyone present raised their heads and looked over, and saw several eunuchs in blue clothes walking out quickly and building structures with their bodies.
There was a wall of people, and then a sixty-year-old man came over supported by an old eunuch.
Although this old man is not wearing a dragon robe, anyone who is not stupid knows who this person is. If you don't want to die, you must not talk nonsense now.
After the old man came over, he sat on top. The old eunuch, who seemed to have a high status, was talking. Anyway, it was a lot of nonsense. Brother Zhang didn't pay attention to it, he was just distracted.
He didn't come back to his senses until the old eunuch asked someone to bring paper and pen in front of everyone. However, because he was in a daze just now, he had no idea what he was talking about, so he turned his head and asked: "He said
what?"
"No noise!"
The old eunuch's high-pitched voice reached Brother Zhang's ears with murderous intent, and Brother Zhang was also a fool. He raised his head and asked, "What are you doing? I was distracted just now and didn't hear clearly."
When the people around him heard this, they immediately knew that this guy was unqualified, and couldn't help but cast envious glances at him. The eunuch frowned and was about to scold him, but the emperor patted him on the shoulder, and the eunuch didn't understand.
After saying anything, he once again made a request specifically for Brother Zhang: "Write down your name, place of origin, and origin. Someone will check it when the time comes. If you are bullying the emperor, humph... don't cry out for injustice when your head falls to the ground.
."
Brother Zhang said oh, then raised his pen and started writing. Brother Zhang is a very honest man. He has no habit of lying at all, so he just started copying the contents of his memory. In this place, he is from Yuhang.
It was not yet time to enter Gyeonggi Province, so he just wrote Yuhang.
And he himself is a scholar, his teacher is a gentleman from Xiaoyao Academy in Yuhang, his parents are deceased and he has an uncle, etc...
After finishing writing, several young eunuchs collected their things and handed them to the old eunuch, who then turned around and handed them to the emperor respectfully.
The emperor didn't read in detail. If he saw good handwriting, he would keep it. If he saw bad handwriting, he would leave it aside. The old eunuch would call the name of the one who left it aside. The one whose name was called would be taken out and let go.
.
The fifty people around him were decreasing one by one. Brother Zhang was still confused, but he didn't see his name being called after waiting for a long time, so he craned his neck to watch.
But he actually didn't know that practicing calligraphy was one of the things he had done in his free time over the years. Although there was not much calligraphy, there was definitely a lot of it. Therefore, although his handwriting did not have any genre, his small regular script was also rough.
It's true, what I'm copying is also Wang Xizhi's "Huang Ting Jing", which is certainly pleasing to the eye.
In the end, in the first screening, the emperor personally screened out thirty people. The hall was more than half empty all of a sudden, and the remaining people were waiting anxiously.
At this time, the old eunuch had a new job. He raised his hand and took the remaining name cards handed to him by the emperor and began to call people. When someone was called, the old eunuch said loudly:
"Come forward."
The person who was called did not dare to neglect, and went straight to the old eunuch. Then the old eunuch stretched out his fist to him: "I have a dice in my hand, guess what time it is."
So the man guessed. After guessing, the old eunuch spread his hands, curled his lips and waved, and he was taken away. When the second person came, the old eunuch asked again: "Yesterday, today,
Tomorrow, what’s the explanation?”
"ah?"
"Ah??" The old eunuch glared and waved his hand again. This person was considered eliminated.
So seven or eight people went back and forth, and finally they arrived at Brother Zhang. The old eunuch called him in front of him and looked him up and down: "You're born with a good skin, won't you fall asleep now?"
Brother Zhang smiled and shook his head, and the old eunuch asked: "You hate the Liao people?"
As soon as this question came out, the tail bones of the scholars around him trembled. This was a question. If the answer was not good, he would lose his head on the spot. After all, His Majesty on the stage had the Liao people drive across the river. Now I am asking
When you think about whether you hate the Liao people or not, it must be hate, but you can’t just talk about this hatred, how can you hate it and why do you hate it... This question will cost you your life.
Brother Zhang didn't seem to care too much. He pondered for a moment and then said with a simple smile: "To be honest, I don't hate it very much. It can even be said that I don't hate it at all."
As expected, these words directly caused the old man on the stage to slap the dragon chair, and the eunuch also stared wide-eyed: "Bold! You deserve to be damned! Someone is coming!"
But then the old man above coughed: "Wait a minute, let him talk, and I will listen."
"The official, he..."
"Let him say it!"
The emperor is the emperor after all. One sentence made the old eunuch turn off. Brother Zhang blinked his eyes a few times: "I don't know the Liao people, why do I hate him?"
This time it was the old man's turn and couldn't wait any longer: "But don't you hate the Liao people who took away our Song Dynasty land and killed our Song people?"
Brother Zhang smacked his lips and said, "You haven't beaten anyone before. What should I do?"
A burst of uniform laughter from the scholar below suddenly stopped, and even the emperor almost collapsed. He should have been angry at this moment, but who knew he was almost amused by this silly boy.
"The only one who didn't win?"
"As far as I know, it is possible to win, but what about war? There are too many unreliable things, and it doesn't matter if you lose. In fact, I am afraid that they are fighting for unification but not winning, and in the end they will become orthodox.
That’s troublesome, as long as the orthodoxy still exists, sooner or later there will be unification, right?”
Right...how dare he do that! Fortunately, the official family has always been kind-hearted and especially loves young people. Otherwise, no matter which emperor he changed, this boy's life would be gone, and even his uncle, who he had no contact with, would be gone.
Eighty percent of the time I will follow suit.
"How can the Liao people be unified?" The old emperor was so angry that he slapped the table and became excited: "If they were allowed to seize the unified power, how would I face my ancestors!"
Brother Zhang didn't feel anything special when he saw him so excited. After all, everyone who knew about it knew that the Zhao family's Chenqiao mutiny was not a serious rise to power process. He took away the Guo family, the Chai family, and the Liao family.
The legal system of the country started from the Later Liang Dynasty in the Five Dynasties. The legal system of the Later Liang came from the abdication of the Tang Dynasty, and the legal system of the Later Tang Dynasty was in the name of restoring the Tang Dynasty. In the late Later Tang Dynasty, the General Shi Jingtang of the Later Tang Dynasty colluded with the Khitan to overthrow the Later Tang Dynasty. After that, Shi Jingtang
Inheriting the name of the Later Tang Dynasty, he proclaimed himself emperor in the Central Plains and established the Later Jin Dynasty to succeed the Later Tang Dynasty. However, Shi Jingtang was able to proclaim himself emperor with the strong support of Taizong Yelu Deguang of Liao Dynasty. Therefore, Shi Jingtang expressed his respect for Yelv Deguang as his father emperor, while he himself was
The son emperor who accepted the canonization of the father emperor.
None of us are good people, but the legal system of the Liao Dynasty is more upright than that of the Zhao family, right? After all, he got connected with the former Tang Dynasty step by step. Zhao Kuangyin had a close relationship with the legal system of the previous dynasty. He was eating
He deprived Guo Wei of his welfare, and also denied the orthodox "Chai" family of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The official position of Zhenger Ba Jing was not correct. If he did not occupy the orthodox land in the Central Plains, he really would not have an advantage in the fight for unification.
, now they have been sent to the south of the Yangtze River a hundred years in advance, and they are fighting for unification.
"Why don't you kill me." Brother Zhang still smiled: "I'm not very good at talking. I will definitely offend you."
His attitude actually made the runaway emperor on the high platform feel a little interesting. He calmed down slowly first, and then looked at Brother Zhang with interest: "Are you so not afraid of death?"
"Fortunately, I'm not too scared."
"Okay, I'll make it happen for you."
The old man waved his hand, and two guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed Brother Zhang's arms and pulled him out. Brother Zhang didn't move and just let them drag him. Anyway, the moment his head hit the ground, he returned to his own world.
Well, it doesn't matter whether you die or not.
"Wait a minute! Let go of these idiots!"
The old man originally wanted to see the ugly appearance of this smelly scholar, but who would have thought that he was really silent, so he became somewhat interested in this smelly and hard thing, and asked the guards to bring him back.
"Are you really not afraid?"
"Yeah." Brother Zhang nodded seriously: "Actually, I'm not afraid."
