The annual Zhao family ancestor worship ceremony is approaching.

On the official road leading to Lu County, you can see some extraordinary people from time to time.

Either riding a horse, riding a car, or walking in the car

At this time of year, people around Guandao will set up stalls to sell food and earn some money to supplement their family income.

Fang is one of them.

The children at home were left in the care of their parents, so he and his wife Wang set up a stall by the official road, selling some cakes and drinks, and the meat was haggis.

“No mutton?”

A middle-aged man who looked polite but was dusty dismounted and asked.

"I'm afraid it will go bad!" Fang smiled bitterly, "The haggis can't be sold out here for a while. It's cheaper back in the village and some people buy it, so you won't lose money. But if the mutton can't be sold out, you can only eat it at home."

"That's true."

The man sat down and said, "Get some pancakes and a bowl of haggis. Remember, the lamb liver should be tender and preferably with a bitter taste."

"You are an expert!" Fang gave a thumbs up.

The man spread his legs comfortably and said, "This place is only about ten miles away from Lu County. You sell food here, so your business should be good, right?"

"Thanks to the blessing of the Duke, now that people have some money in their hands, they are willing to buy some delicious food when they go out. Even if they are reluctant to part with it, they still have to buy it if they see the children around them being greedy. This was something I didn't dare to think about before."

"oh!"

The man's name is Chen Zhen, and he is a famous scholar in Guanzhou.

Ta-ta-ta!

Several riders came slowly.

"Mr. Lang, I'm hungry."

"Hungry, hungry, hungry! You are reincarnated as a starving ghost!"

“We’ve run out of dried meat.”

"Who made you offend your own wife!"

"I smell mutton."

Several riders approached, dismounted, and a man came over, "What's there?"

"There are haggis, cakes, and some wine." Wang said enthusiastically, "They are all the freshest."

"Mr. Lang!"

"That's it!"

A man in his twenties walked over and said, "Bring some pancakes and put more sauce on the haggis."

"Where's the drink?" Wang asked eagerly.

"No more drinks."

The man sat down.

Chen Zhen smiled and cupped his hands, "Guanzhou Chen Zhen, is this also going to participate in the Zhao family's ancestor worship?"

The man nodded, "Mr. Chen, are you from Guanzhou?"

"Exactly."

"Oh! I'm from Northern Xinjiang, but I'm just a reader." The man felt a little embarrassed.

This is where we come to hang out.

When I go back, I can brag to my relatives and friends: I also participated in the Zhao family's ancestor worship ceremony.

Chen Zhen smiled and felt that this man was quite honest. He moved slightly in his heart and said: "Guanzhou is far away from Northern Xinjiang. A few years ago, I heard that Northern Xinjiang was in danger under the suppression of Beiliao. After Huang Xianggong left, the situation changed.

It’s reversed.”

The man smiled and said, "That's right."

Chen Zhen said: "I heard that the Duke of Qin was very good at fighting and used soldiers like a god. However, those who are good at swimming will drown in the water, and those who are good at using soldiers will end up defeated sooner or later if they do not know how to cultivate domestic affairs diligently and encourage farming and learning."

The man smiled and said: "Yes!"

Chen Zhen wanted to test, so he told some details, "I was invited to come to Lu County, so I came to Northern Xinjiang two months early and traveled around. I saw that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, and the army was quite orderly. I was a little curious. According to Chang'an

If we want to mobilize a large army to attack Northern Xinjiang, Bei Liao will take action if we think about it. Why don't the soldiers and people of Northern Xinjiang panic when they are attacked from both sides?"

The man took the haggis and pancakes from Fang and said, "Are you panicking and they won't come?"

Chen Zhen smiled and said: "That's the truth. But after all, the name is not justified and the words are not consistent!"

This is a temptation!

During his travels, Chen Zhen only had contact with the common people. The first time he was almost arrested by the police, he said with disgrace that the people in northern Xinjiang were unruly.

The second time he was actually arrested, he was interrogated and after learning his identity, local officials warned him to be careful in his words and deeds.

Stop prying like a spy.

have to!

From then on, Chen Zhen just watched and said nothing.

This place is more than ten miles away from Lu County. In this place, I want to come

The prestige of the Zhao family can be enough to suppress the government!

Only then did Chen Zhen start talking.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think is a name?" the man asked.

"The name of the emperor is the name of Zhengshuo. And Zhengshuo comes from the achievements of the Tang Dynasty in ending the troubled times. The legacy remains to this day."

These words are very sincere and very insightful.

The man smiled and said: "Tens of thousands of refugees are born in the North every year. I don't know how many there are in the world, but I think the life of the people is not easy now. What do the people want? A stable life, enough food and clothing.

The so-called legacy, at this moment, is it consumed or accumulated?"

The so-called Zhengshuo must have a reason, that is to say, if you want people in the world to recognize you as Zhengshuo, you must have done something for the people in the world.

In the last years of the Chen Kingdom, the world was in chaos. It was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty who ended the chaos and brought peace to the world.

This is a legacy that allows people in the world to regard Li as the lord of the world and the righteousness of the world.

You want to say that I am the ninth generation descendant of the last emperor of the Chen Kingdom, and I want to rebel. You lend me 10,000 yuan. When my rebellion succeeds, I will definitely make you king. Then you will definitely be captured and thrown into prison.

middle.

Chen Guo also had a legacy at the beginning, but after many years of consumption, it has long been gone.

Some are just angry!

This is reincarnation!

It is also the way of heaven.

The man said: "I came all the way from Guanzhou and saw refugees everywhere. I am worried about the local powerful annexing the land. This is considered a waste."

"In northern Xinjiang, you can't see refugees."

"But in the end, people in the world still regard Chang'an as Zhengshuo. If there is a riot in Northern Xinjiang, some people in the world will support Northern Xinjiang, and some will support Chang'an. In this way, people from the Tang Dynasty have become enemies."

Chen Zhen saw that the man was pondering, so he continued: "To be honest, the Guanzhou Army is rotten. I have been traveling in Northern Xinjiang for two months, and I can see the Northern Xinjiang Army from time to time. It is indeed my Tang Dynasty Tiger Ben. I am thinking, if there is a riot

, Chang'an will inevitably mobilize the army from southern Xinjiang to go north, and with the guards of Chang'an, the war is about to break out. No matter who wins or loses, the aliens will get an advantage in the end."

Hey!

This person actually has such a pattern?

The man nodded, "But sir, have you ever thought about what will happen to the Tang Dynasty if this continues?"

Chen Zhen was startled and sighed: "There are more and more refugees, and the powerful are becoming more and more greedy. Fortunately, Northern Liao is weak. Without foreign enemies, if the emperor can work hard to govern"

The man looked at him with a smile and said, "Sir, please speak."

Chen Zhen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My friend in Chang'an wrote a letter and mentioned the situation, saying that the King of Yue is most likely to take over the East Palace. With the King of Yue ascending to the throne, the Yang family of Yingchuan will probably become the uncrowned king. The family will become powerful."

He lowered his head and whispered: "The world is in danger!"

"Sir, have you thought about how to break the situation?"

the man asked.

Chen Zhen shook his head. "Only...that's all, drinking."

This guy has some meaning.

The man is Yang Xuan.

After leaving Tao County, he asked people to pretend to be him, and he led Wang Laoer and others on a plainclothes patrol to the vicinity of Lu County.

There are many people and the goal is big, but he does it quietly and is safe.
