The October morning was a bit cold.
Uncle Zhang stood on tiptoe slightly and stretched out his small body.
He struggled to pick up the wooden sword left by his clan brothers in the yard yesterday and tried to dance.
"Hoo ho ho!"
He is only eight years old this year, while most of his brothers are already twelve or thirteen years old, or even fourteen or fifteen years old.
The wooden swords they used were naturally a bit heavier than Zhang Bo's.
But Uncle Zhang still gritted his teeth, held himself up, and practiced with encouragement.
He doesn't have much time.
When the adults all got up, he would go to the mountains to collect firewood with the servants at home.
The Zhang family in Yaoxian County is a wealthy family even though they live in Yaoxian County itself.
However, there are countless contradictions within the huge clan.
In addition, the Han Dynasty advocated the separation of households.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty and his ministers have been working hard to dismember those big families for decades.
From laws, policies, taxes, and various means, they tried every means to prevent each big family from forming.
One man managing a hundred fields with a small household and five households was considered the most rational social model and was widely promoted.
but……
There are exceptions to everything.
Take Uncle Zhang's situation for example.
When the male head of a family dies of illness, war, or goes to jail for a crime.
His original owner's family will assume the responsibility of taking care of his descendants.
This is because, nowadays, the mortality rate of men in the whole world is too high.
Often a couple can give birth to more than a dozen children in their lifetime.
However, not even half of them can survive to adulthood.
This is still a wealthy family.
If you are an ordinary farmer, your children's health and life safety can only depend on God's blessing.
There are often cases where even though many children are born, the family still ends up dying.
Situations like this are not uncommon even among the top aristocrats of the Han family.
So far in the Han family, more than a dozen princes have died due to lack of heirs and have been deposed from feudal states.
Therefore, among the people, families with the same surname and origin will watch and help each other. If a brother dies of illness or other reasons, then generally the eldest brother or direct brother will assume the obligation to raise his offspring until they reach adulthood.
However, Uncle Zhang's situation is rather special.
His father had a very bad relationship with his uncles.
At that time, Uncle Zhang's father had even severed ties with his uncles.
If Uncle Zhang's mother hadn't remarried later, and before remarrying, she took out the last 100 acres of land in the family and sent it to the owner's house, begging hard, and having someone intercede for Uncle Zhang, otherwise, Uncle Zhang would have gone to the host's house at this moment.
Just like other orphans, they either live on the streets or starve to death in some corner knot.
Dancing with the sword, Uncle Zhang thought about the past. His little face was full of perseverance and bravery that did not belong to his age.
"Eh!" Suddenly a hoarse man's voice rang in Uncle Zhang's ears: "Isn't this the murderer's son? Your father committed a murder and was imprisoned, which slandered my Zhang family's reputation. You learned martial arts because you wanted to commit murder and break the law.
, continue to tarnish my Zhang family’s pure name?”
When Uncle Zhang turned around, he saw his cousin Zhang's face filled with astonishment and amusement.
"My father is not a murderer!" Uncle Zhang put down his wooden sword and said word by word: "He killed people for the righteousness in his heart!"
"Quzi said: Even if there are thousands of people, I will go. This is the behavior of a man!"
Uncle Zhang looked at his cousin and said coldly: "My father is a great hero! A great hero!"
"Are there any heroes among knight-errants?" Zhang Xun laughed loudly: "In today's world, those who go into battle to kill the enemy, serve the king and father, bring peace to the world internally, and defend the barbarians externally are the great heroes, good husbands, and true gentlemen! The knight-errants are rampant and lawless,
Those who use personal loyalty as the law of the world are just like rebellious ministers and traitors!"
"Although my father is a ranger, he has not done anything illegal!" Uncle Zhang raised his head and met his cousin's eyes without fear: "Among the rangers, there are also heroes like Ju Meng and good men like Zhu Jun!"
Uncle Zhang encountered an accident when he was young.
His mind naturally matures very quickly.
In today's era, children from poor families often have to take on the responsibilities of the family when they are twelve or thirteen years old, taking care of their younger siblings and supporting their elderly grandparents.
Uncle Zhang often interacts with these children in his daily life.
Go up the mountain with them to chop wood and herd cattle.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang already knew deeply that he had almost no status in this family.
His uncles and cousins treated him like a servant and ordered him around.
If he hadn't been concerned about his father's sworn brothers, I'm afraid he would have been expelled from the family long ago.
"No matter how much you argue, you can't get rid of the fact that you are the son of a murderer!" Zhang was stunned at the lack of words, but still said with his neck stiffened.
Fortunately, he is not old, only twelve or thirteen years old, and he does not have so many evil ideas and crooked ideas. If it were those older cousins, Uncle Zhang knew that he would not be able to avoid being punched and kicked at this moment.
It was precisely because of this that Uncle Zhang dared to express his views in front of Zhang Su.
"My father is not a murderer!" Uncle Zhang said loudly, "He is a great hero!"
"Sanlang!" At this time, another young man came to the yard. Seeing this situation, he showed disdain and said: "What are you talking about with this murderer's son? If you don't like him, give him a good beating."
That’s it!”
"The son of Sikong Chengdan will also be Sikong Chengdan in the future!" The young man came over, grabbed Uncle Zhang's lapel, and said, "If your surname was not Zhang, you would have starved to death and froze to death under the old locust tree in the countryside.
My Zhang family gives you food and clothes, but you still dare to refute? Don’t you want to live anymore?"
As he spoke, he was about to raise his fist and give this disgusting cousin in his eyes a good beating.
However, he was held back.
It's Zhang Su.
He looked back, slightly surprised, and asked: "Sanlang, why are you stopping me?"
"Brother Zhong, you can't be considered a man if you bully a child!" Zhang Xun raised his head and said: "I, a gentleman, practice martial arts hard and learn combat skills in order to one day join the army and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty and for the family.
The lintel of the family is shining brightly. Although this Jilang is the son of a murderer and his father is guilty and has tarnished the lintel of our Zhang family, he is still a descendant of the Zhang family!"
"Even if there can't be love between siblings, they can't kill each other!" Zhang said with a stunned look on his face: "The teacher said: Brothers stay outside the wall to avoid being insulted. This is what a gentleman does!
"
The scholar-bureaucrat families of the Han family still followed the ancient traditions.
Within these families, brothers are ranked according to their direct descendants.
The legitimate son is called Bo, the eldest concubine is called Meng, the second is called Zhong, and the last is called Ji.
Zhang Xun is the direct descendant of the Zhang family of this generation.
So although he is not as old as that young man, his status is higher than that of him.
Therefore, what he said was of great weight. The other party did not dare not listen.
The young man glared at Uncle Zhang fiercely, then put him down and said, "You are lucky..."
But in my heart, I was already thinking about how to regain my place in the future.
Uncle Zhang looked at Zhang Xun, somewhat in disbelief.
"Why are you helping me?" Uncle Zhang looked at the other person with his head held high. In his impression, this legitimate brother always had his nostrils turned upward, as if he was cold and detached from the world.
In the past, this brother would feel insulted if he even looked at him, let alone talking to him.
"Because I have a new teacher!" Zhang Xun said as usual, "The original Mr. Yang has been dismissed by my father, and the new teacher is from the Mo family. The teacher told me that universal love is a gentleman.
What he did. If a person cannot love his brothers, he cannot love the world. Moreover, if you want to be a real hero and be helpful to the world, you must start by loving the people around you!"
"I have made up my mind to be a general in the future, to be granted the title of marquis and prime minister, and to serve as a wing for the country. Brother Ji, although you are not from a good background, I have observed that you have a strong and decisive personality, and you can be my deputy general in the future!" Zhang said in surprise!
He bowed his head and said in the still cold and cool manner: "How about it? If you agree to become my deputy general in the future, then I will take you to study and practice martial arts together, and you can also enter the Mo Garden and join the great sages of the Mo family.
Studying!”
Uncle Zhang raised his head and looked at his clan brother.
He lowered his head and said: "My father is a great hero!"
Then, he raised his head, looked at Zhang Su and said, "My name is Bo!"
Zhang was stunned for a moment.
He already knew what this clan brother meant.
Bo means eldest son.
Just like Uncle Zhang's father, named Meng, the eldest son of Teng's concubine.
The other party's meaning is already obvious.
I am my father's eldest son, so I don't want to be your lieutenant!
I don’t admit that I am Ji Zi either!
I am uncle!
Sooner or later I have to start my own business!
This made Zhang Suo somewhat angry, even angry from embarrassment.
However, he remembered the teacher's admonishment: You must be friendly to your brothers!
So he had to endure it.
Zhang Xun knew how much his father had to pay to have Mo Zhe as his teacher.
In fact, if the Mohist family had not been interested in Yaoxian, his father would never have wanted him to become a disciple of the Mohist family, no matter how much he paid.
This opportunity is rare and precious.
Don't lose the big for the small.
He must let his teachers see that he is a standard Mohist disciple, not a playboy.
He resisted the urge, but he was only a young man after all, so he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "What future will the son of a murderer have if he has no support?"
At this time, suddenly, the official road outside the door was filled with people.
It seemed that hundreds of people were riding horses from afar, and Zhang Xun even heard the sound of gongs and drums.
So, he didn't care about Uncle Zhang anymore and hurriedly went out to see the excitement.
At this moment, the entire Zhang family's residence was also alarmed.
Many men and women hurried out to watch the fun.
Only Uncle Zhang silently picked up the wooden sword that his cousin had just discarded on the ground and continued practicing.
"My father is a great hero!" Uncle Zhang said through gritted teeth.
Although, his father's appearance has long been blurred in his memory.
Although, brothers and partners all say that he is the son of a murderer.
However, in Uncle Zhang's heart, his father is a great hero!
No why.
He is so sure of it!
For a young man who has never seen his father since he was three years old and his mother since he was four years old, who has always been dependent on others and begging for a humble life, this is the only spiritual support he can rely on.
Once this belief is broken, Uncle Zhang knows that he will be beyond redemption!
Dancing with his sword, Uncle Zhang couldn't hear what was going on outside the window.
This is one of the few opportunities for him to exercise and hone himself.
Just like he used to secretly lie down outside the classroom where his brothers went to school, holding a branch and practicing writing on the ground.
Uncle Zhang knows very well that he must seize every second of these rare opportunities!
However, the noise and excitement outside the door became louder and louder.
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Zhang heard his uncle crying.
Then, everyone in the clan was crying.
Then, Uncle Zhang saw his uncle walking in with all the men, women and children of the clan, surrounded by an official wearing a crimson robe and a ribbon around his waist.
"Dalang..." His uncle looked at him, his tone unprecedentedly gentle and kind: "Come and see the angel!"
Uncle Zhang didn't know why, so he walked over and said, "Young man, please pay homage to the angel!"
"Young gentleman, please get up quickly..." The angel held a legendary emperor's festival yak, helped Uncle Zhang up, looked at his small body, and said: "As expected, he is a loyal minister and righteous man, with beautiful features and beautiful eyes.
You can be called the pillar of the country!"
Then, the angel said: "Uncle Zhang, son of Zhang Meng in Yao County, and the Zhang clan respectfully welcome the emperor's edict..."
Uncle Zhang's uncle immediately pulled Uncle Zhang, knelt down on the ground, and said, "The entire Zhang family respectfully listens to His Majesty's edict!"
"I heard that in the town of ten houses, there must be loyal and trustworthy people. Three people walking together will have my teacher! It's true. Since ancient times, heroes have mostly grown out of the grass, but loyal ministers and righteous men have grown up in Luli. Meng, the son of the Zhang family in Yaoxian County, faced
The leader of the Xiongnu denounced his wrongdoings and went to die calmly to show that he was a hero of the fourth generation of the Han Dynasty before the Xiongnu, and to promote the style of the gentlemen of Xia. I am very respectful! He named Zhang Meng, a righteous man, and said: "Yong Anjun, grant food to the city."
Three hundred households will set up a memorial tree monument to make the river like a belt and Mount Tai like a strong mountain. They will be worshiped and commemorated by future generations forever! Zhang Mengzibo, who is also the heir to the title of Yong Anjun, is promoted to a knight, and he will accompany me to my left and right to praise him.
Loyal ministers and righteous men, let the world know my will!" The angel finished reading the edict, and then said to the whole Zhang family: "Please get up!"
He lowered his body, helped Uncle Zhang up, and said to him: "I am the Minister of Public Affairs, Ling Ji An, Lord Yong'an. Are you willing to join me?"
Uncle Zhang gritted his teeth and his eyes were red.
Although he did not quite understand the edict read by the angel.
But he knew that his father was dead.
Will never come back again.
He raised his head, looked at Ji An's appearance, and asked, "Is my father a great hero?"
"Yes!" Ji An nodded and told him seriously: "Your father is not only a great hero, he is also a great hero. There are so many heroes in the world, but there are very few people I can admire in my life. Your father is definitely one of them.
one!"
Now, what happened in Wuzhou Fortress has been widely known to the courtiers through various channels.
The actions of the prisoners, sons-in-law and common people in Wuzhou Fortress made almost all the princes and ministers feel ashamed.
"Jun Yong'an, are you willing to join me?" Ji An asked again.
