Su's father and Su's mother saw him off and said with sincerity:
"Mingzhe, when you go out to study this time, it's no better than at home. If you meet those children from famous families, you must avoid them..."
"Don't worry, father, it's like 'the king and the horse share the world', the child knows how to avoid it!"
In Su Mingzhe's memory, it was the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Empress Dowager Chu listened to politics behind the curtain.
This period was also the time when the noble families were at their most arrogant.
The "horse" in "The King and the Horse Share the World" refers to the royal Sima family, implying the imperial power, while the "king" refers to the Wang family who control the court on the surface, but in fact secretly refers to the various powerful families.
…
When Su's father saw that his son had promised not to be angry with others, he felt comforted in his heart, but then he corrected him:
"Mingzhe, what you said is old news!"
"Since the former General Anxi passed away two years ago, the Grand Governor (Huan Wen) became the dominant family in the court, and he strongly advocated the Northern Expedition. He was at odds with the princes in the court. The King of Kuaiji has tried his best to support the Xie family and fight against the Grand Governor! Now the Xie family
He has continued to marry the Wang family, and the number of prefectures and counties controlled by the two families has exceeded that of the Grand Governor."
"But now that the royal family is weak and the Queen Mother listens to politics behind the curtain, it is now spread outside that 'the king and Xie share the world'!"
"'The king and Xie share the world'? Is this a direct look down on the imperial power?"
Su Mingzhe quickly searched for relevant historical memories in his mind and quickly found the time node:
"So, it is the middle of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen is at the peak of his power, and Xie An, who presided over the Battle of Feishui, is still living in seclusion in Kuaiji County during those days?"
…
Huan Wen, the most powerful official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, controlled eight states at the same time. He was appointed as the Grand Governor by the imperial court. He presided over the Northern Expedition three times and reached as far as Chang'an. However, he was dragged down by his pig teammates and ultimately fell short of success.
When I reached the constant temperature of old age, I finally realized that I couldn't succeed in the Northern Expedition due to the drag of my pig teammates, so I wanted the little emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to give me the throne.
As a result, things became disharmonious, and he eventually died of illness leaving behind the saying, "A man cannot be famous for a hundred years, but he will be infamous for thousands of years."
The evaluation of Huan Wen in later history books was often disparaging because of his military background and image as a powerful minister.
Only in this era did Su Mingzhe realize how much the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty admired Huan Wen.
…
Turn around.
Su Mingzhe took the letter of recommendation written by his father, took the book boy Mingyan, and boarded a Yuyao merchant ship escorting tea and cloth, and went north along the Cao'e River.
This day, just after midnight.
Su Mingzhe's cultivation level broke through to the golden elixir realm, and his spiritual consciousness stretched out to a hundred feet away. Suddenly he heard a murmur of noise, became curious, and immediately flew into the air.
When I arrived at the end of the field, I saw a "bride" saying goodbye to her friends.
I saw the 'bride' with a pair of big, clear and bright eyes, a delicate and small face, cherry lips and a beautiful nose, a face like a peach and plum, and a face like the autumn moon.
And the other woman, although not as exquisite as the bride, still has a pair of beautiful eyes, like autumn water, and a tall, graceful and graceful figure.
Just as Su Mingzhe was slowly admiring the two girls, he suddenly felt that something was wrong:
"This plot...how does it sound like you are escaping from marriage?"
…
"Sister Yu, if you don't cry anymore, if you don't cry anymore, you will have a good life with the one you love. Go away happily!"
The ‘bride’ hugged her friend, looking inseparable, but she kept blessing her:
"...You must promise me to cherish this hard-won happiness..."
"Thank you, Yingtai——"
Seeing her fiancé chasing after her on horseback, the woman quickly jumped on the boat and left by boat with her 'lover'.
…
"Why did you let yourself get into trouble with running away from marriage again?"
Su Mingzhe watched for a while and finally figured out what was going on.
This is the story of the first episode of the 2007 version of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
The ninth sister of the Zhu family, Zhu Yingtai, in order to let her best friend Huang Liangyu pursue a "free marriage", made a big fuss at the wedding of her eighth brother Zhu Yingqi and Huang Liangyu, and helped Huang Liangyu escape from the wedding.
But Huang Liangyu's ending after escaping from marriage was not good, or in other words, he went straight into a pit of fire.
After she followed her lover Qin Jingsheng to Hangzhou, Qin Jingsheng sold her into a brothel, changed her name to "Yu Wuxia", and became a prostitute.
As for Zhu Yingtai, in the TV series, she is a self-righteous and self-assertive young lady, otherwise she would not play a good hand to pieces.
…
Watching Huang Liangyu and Qin Jingsheng leave by boat, Su Mingzhe thought of his two brides who had escaped from marriage, and became increasingly angry in his heart.
After a while, Zhu Yingtai was seen again. He was afraid of the crazy myna Zhu Yingqi. He panicked and fled to Yuelao Temple in the distance.
Su Mingzhe finally got brave, reached out and grabbed a stone, and threw it hard at Zhu Yingtai's little feet:
"Stinky girl, you are so smart that you broke up the marriage arranged by your parents for Bage. This is unfilial and unrighteous. You are also so lustful that you forget the vows you made and sleep in the same bedroom with Liang Shanbo. This is unbelief and unrighteousness.
Wisdom; later on, for the sake of your own selfish interests, you disregarded the life and death of the people of Luang County. This is disloyal and unkind!"
"Isn't it too much to cripple a leg of a stinky girl who is unfaithful, unkind, unjust, untrustworthy and unwise?"
…
After the stone was thrown, Su Mingzhe stopped caring about Zhu Yingtai's injuries.
No matter what, I am quite satisfied with this girl's appearance.
If he hadn't been escaped from marriage twice in a row, he wouldn't have been able to do such a heavy hand to such a beautiful Zhu Yingtai.
…
After returning to the merchant ship, not long after, I heard Shutonghui’s report:
"Master, the boatman just rescued three people who fell into the water. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"This is such a late night, someone actually fell into the water. It's not a bad person!"
Su Mingzhe came to the deck with dignity, and saw the woman who had escaped from marriage after saying goodbye to Zhu Yingtai, cuddling with her lover, and the boatman on the other side squatting to pull them.
When shopkeeper Liu saw Su Mingzhe appear, he quickly came over and explained:
"Master, we are a young couple who are going to Hangzhou to visit relatives. As a result, a hole was discovered in the boat. Although their luggage was lost, everything else is fine. Do you think we should give them a ride?"
After hearing what Shopkeeper Liu said, the three people looked at Su Mingzhe with hopeful eyes.
"Have you asked clearly? Are you sure they are a young couple and not gangsters who kidnap and traffick women from good families?"
Su Mingzhe shouted a few words deliberately and looked at the three of them sternly:
"Shopkeeper Liu, I know you are a good person, but when you go out, you must be careful and don't do bad things with good intentions! Let's do this. Tomorrow you send someone to escort them to the government and let the government deal with them."
"Okay, Master!"
Although shopkeeper Liu was reluctant, he could only agree.
But Qin Jingsheng was panicked:
"Master, since you don't want to take us with you, then just send us to the shore and we can just find a boat ourselves. Why bother sending us to the government?"
Seeing the two people panicking, Su Mingzhe turned to look at Shopkeeper Liu and asked expressionlessly:
"Shopkeeper Liu, what do you think we should do now?"
Shopkeeper Liu knew that his little thoughts had been seen through, so he panicked and quickly begged for mercy:
"The villain was confused for a moment. Please punish me, Master."
Shopkeeper Liu has been traveling around the world for so many years, how could he not see that Huang Liangyu and Qin Jingsheng are not just a couple?
However, he still chose to deceive his young master, just to get benefits from Qin Jingsheng and Huang Liangyu.
It's a pity that shopkeeper Liu underestimated Su Mingzhe.
