Great powers are always meant to be feared, not respected.
Even if there are many people and many small countries respect big countries, believe me, this respect must be based on fear.
Just like Yun Chu and Di Renjie, they were full of fear when Brother Rumor suddenly appeared behind them.
These two people used rumors to end the career of the entire Chang'an County officials two and a half years ago. It was because they knew the horror of rumors that they were filled with awe for this family whose ancestors had been relying on rumors for three generations.
"Tell me, what happened to Zhang Jianzhi and Zhang Mengjiang that could change his temperament drastically? I'm really just curious."
Di Renjie shook his head and said: "It's nothing. Just now, we invited him to have a nice drink and a delicious meal, and we also found many orchids to accompany him. Only then did he get over the pain of not being admitted.
harm."
Brother Rumor said with a smile: "That's definitely not the case. Zhang Jianzhi himself is a determined person. Failing in the scientific examination this time is actually not a big deal for him. He has no shortage of courage to raise his troops and fight again.
.
Also, if this kind of person falls into grief, he will definitely not give up halfway, but will carry the grief through to the end. Only when he has completely vented himself can he start over again.
So, you were lying to me just now, didn’t you think so, brother Meng Jiang?”
Yun Chu slowly turned his head, looked at Brother Liu Chuan calmly and said: "You are such a bitch, you must have come to our Wannian County to be the inspector censor, right?"
Brother Liuyan said with a smile: "How did Brother Mengjiang know that the official certificate was in the hands of Magistrate Zheng today? Could it be said that Brother Mengjiang's manpower has spread throughout Wannian County and has reached the point of being pervasive?"
Yun Chu said slowly: "If you hadn't been confirmed as the censor of Wannian County, how could you dare to talk to me on my shoulders with your little bit of courage?"
Brother Liuyan slowly took his hand away from Yunchu's shoulder. He knew that he had accidentally put his hand on a tiger's shoulder just now. Now that the tiger was not satisfied, he had to be careful.
Yun Chu dusted off his shoulders and said, "Did you come to Wannian County just for me?"
Brother Liuyan thought for a while and said: "The place I originally wanted to go to was Chang'an County, not your Wannian County. Who knew that after I was granted the official title, I came to Wannian County instead. When I went to ask my father, my father spat at me.
, and said that I couldn’t even understand this matter, why should I be a censor patrolling the city?
After I returned to my yard, I thought about it for a long time. I also ran through the officials of Wannian County from top to bottom. Finally, I found that in the entire Wannian County, only your fierce general brother is worthy of my attention. The rest, even if
Already."
"Why are you going to stare at me?
I am naturally not interested in money, especially money obtained through corruption and fraud. I feel disgusted when using it. As long as you don’t mess with me, I will never take the initiative to provoke others. You knew this clearly when you were in Taixue.
.
It makes no sense to me to oppress the kind. I generally like to oppress the powerful, and the common people are soft, so what's the point of oppressing them?
So, I really want to know, what exactly are you going to monitor me for?"
Brother Liuyan cupped his hands and said, "I'll monitor you if you continue to serve the country and the people. A powerful tool like you must not make any mistakes. This may be why they brought me to Wannian County."
Yunchu suddenly took a step forward and was about to speak when he heard Brother Liuyan who had already jumped ten feet away and shouted softly: "Hitting the censor is like poking a hornet's nest. The consequences will be serious."
Di Renjie said on the side: "Brother Wen Wen, if we can't talk about anything properly, we will have to use a knife or a gun."
Wen Wen took a step away again and said, "Don't bother blowing the wind to light the fire. I just want to have a nice talk with Brother Meng Jiang. There's no fight, and I'm not using knives or guns."
Di Renjie smiled and said, "Oh, is this giant hammer weighing 180 kilograms that fell on the ground Brother Wenwen's weapon? Yunchu can't stop it."
Wen Wenwen roared: "That's a roller, not a hammer."
Di Renjie sneered and said: "It doesn't matter, we will definitely find a way to turn him into your weapon. Now, you are committing murder with a weapon and beating the imperial official in the street. The crime will be increased."
Just when Yun Chu was approaching, Brother Rumor simply gave up resistance and said to Yun Chu: "Even if you want to fight, you must take it lightly for the sake of my eldest ancestor, grandfather, and third grandfather."
."
Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "Who is his great ancestor?"
Di Renjie gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Gonggong, the Duke of Li, is elegant."
"Who is his ancestor?"
Di Renjie sighed and said: "Wen Gongyanbo, Duke of Yu."
"Where is the third grandfather?"
"The Duke of Qinghe County, Wen Gongdayou."
Yun Chu sniffed, unclenched his fists and looked at Brother Rumor, who was laughing mischievously at him, and said softly: "Is it possible to let me, a seventh-grade official, go?"
He leaned over gently and whispered: "The people in our family have no other talents. When it comes to being an official, there are few in the entire Tang Dynasty who can match my family.
My Third Ancestor said that being an official is actually being a good person. If you are a good person, you will naturally have friends around you. If you have friends, you will not be confused when doing things.
I know that you are a person who does things, and you are also someone who can do things. Whether it is Jinchangfang, Qujiangli, or Guangfufang where you are building a house, do you know that the documents about these places can at least fit a car?
.
My third grandfather's personal evaluation of you is - you are hard to find in the world!
If my third grandfather told your majesty this, you would not be able to take the Jinshi exam. Your official rank would be at least the governor of a place.
After my father carefully checked all the documents related to you, the first thing he did was to beat me, hating me for not being a son of a man.
So, don’t worry, since my third grandfather said that your talent is hard to find in the world, then it shouldn’t be too difficult to follow you and rise to great heights, right?”
Yunchu said in shock: "You actually want to hang out with us?"
Wen Wen was equally astonished and said: "I have such a good family background, and I am smart and studious. When choosing friends, shouldn't I choose carefully?"
Yun Chu nodded dullly and said: "I think that with your family background, you shouldn't be friends with others, because all the friends will only affect the speed of your promotion."
Wen Wen shook her head and said, "Since the death of Emperor Taizong, it has been extremely difficult for noble sons to be promoted.
My Third Ancestor said that His Majesty’s current attitude towards the old nobles is to replace them, just like after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he replaced the old ministers of Emperor Gaozu and the old ministers of the former Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, if those of us are not particularly outstanding and have real achievements, we can’t even think of being promoted. Instead, we have a blank slate like the fierce general brother. In addition, he is not only good at fighting, but also able to conquer the Jin Dynasty in three years.
The ability to transform Changfang into Chang'an's No. 1 Fang is the official that His Majesty values the most today.
As long as you know how to flatter people, be a good person, and do things well, you can be on par with the third grade in twenty years."
Yun Chu took Wen Wen with one hand and Di Renjie with the other. Without hesitation, he called a carriage at the gate of the West Market and went straight to Pingkangfang.
Arriving at Pingkangfang, Yun Chu looked back at Wen Wen and said, "Think it over carefully. Let's go to a good place tonight."
Wen Wen laughed loudly and said: "You are going the wrong way. Keep going forward, that is the "Jian Lu". Aunt Gongsun is having a sword dance at the Jian Lu today.
Hearing that Gongsun and Pei Xingjian had a falling out, she wrote a poem called "Girls' Grudge" and gave it to Pei Xingjian.
Tsk tsk, the whole poem describes how she seduced Pei Xingjian, and was called shameless by those noble women, the best in the world.
On the contrary, men of my generation think that Mrs. Gongsun's every word is precious, her affection is permeated, and her courage to immediately take advantage of a good man is so admirable that she wishes she could replace him with her own body.
Tonight, Lady Gongsun is going to perform a sword dance called Conquering the Demon. It is said to be about a strange and sad story of a woman practicing Buddhism, meeting her inner demon, and cutting off her lover with a sword of wisdom.
I also heard that the Buddhist girl from Chang'an, the Buddhist girl who held a lantern to guide the master at the water and land ceremony hosted by Master Xuanzang, would also appear. I also heard that the lamp she held was the one used in the water and land ceremony.
That eight-treasure glass lamp.
Such a grand event is a must-see.”
Di Renjie quickly grabbed Yun Chu, who was shaking with anger. It took him a long time to see Yun Chu pointing at the gentle sword house and saying, "Help me burn down this damn place."
Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu strangely and said: "I know that the Buddhist girl Yun Na is your sister, but today's grand gathering is hosted by Master Xuanzang's disciple Qi Ji, the abbot of Daci'en Temple, who will appear in August soon.
At the Lotus Festival, if you burned down Jianlu, wouldn’t you have offended Master Xuanzang?”
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said: "I will only offend a dead monkey. Even if I beat this dead monkey to death, Master Xuanzang will not blame me. I estimate that Master Xuanzang should also want to beat him very much at this time."
Kill that dead monkey."
Di Renjie urged on the side: "With the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple, Qiu Ji, this is not a romantic performance, it should be a Buddhist event. There is nothing wrong with Naha participating in such an event."
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Di Renjie said: "It has been more than half a month since Naha took Gongsun and the others to live in Da Ci'en Temple, and they only came back when eating.
I remember that Naha seemed to have told you about the Fahua Society during dinner, and it was you who slapped her on the head and made her stay silent even after eating."
Yun Chu stood up straight and asked Wen Rou.
"What should you do if your sister is a Buddhist girl and appears in a romantic place like Pingkangfang?"
Wen Wen laughed and said: "Why are you better than Mr. Dong Heng, Mr. Dong Heng? Do you think anyone can be the Buddhist daughter of Master Xuanzang?
Don't even think about it if you don't have a great opportunity.
If my sister becomes a child under Master Xuanzang, our whole family will laugh and celebrate for three days. Moreover, after my sister becomes a Buddhist girl, she can do whatever she wants as long as it is for a Buddhist association like the Lotus Society.
Our family will do our best to support you.
Also, today's Dharma gathering is a women's Dharma gathering, and all the people going to watch the sword dance are women. I thought I could sneak in and have a good look at it, relying on your status as the Buddha's female brother."
"Why is it a women's puja?"
"Master Queji said that there are many crazy men and resentful women in Pingkangfang. He is willing to use the wisdom sword of Buddhism to cut off the worldly bonds and let the women here return to their true nature."
