Chapter 1598: The situation in Japan, the crisis in Heian Kyo
"No matter what you do in the future, knowledge is your greatest asset! If you are interested, I will ask your sister to find a Confucian scholar to teach you personally!"
Hearing this, Isa hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir!"
Then he looked at his two younger brothers and said, "It's your good fortune that you have received the care of me! If you dare not make progress again, I will let my father teach you a lesson! I came from the imperial examination and was the top scholar! You guys Of course, I can’t compare to the master, but if I can compare with you, it will be enough for you to enjoy!”
Isa was happy but nervous about her master taking care of her brother! Wouldn't it be a bad thing if her brother didn't make progress and made her master disgusted?
Moreover, life at home is indeed going well now.
But speaking of it, it was just about having enough food and clothing. Compared with the Song Dynasty, it was a world of difference.
Not to mention, is there any way to advance in the clan?
If the two younger brothers are promising, even if they sacrifice their dignity and beg the master once in the future, the future of the two younger brothers will change.
Therefore, she directly spoke out through Shen Tang's words.
Shen Tang patted Ayi's palm, and then said, "As long as you succeed in your studies, it will not be in vain in the future! If you are determined to take the imperial examination, I will have someone give you guidance. Not to mention serving as an official, but it is still a rule. Right path.
In addition, although the status of a merchant is not high, it is not necessarily impossible.
You should have seen the caravan from the Shaosheng family coming to your tribe. If you are interested, you will be able to lead the caravan around various countries in the future, which is also a skill."
"If you want to join the army, I will let King Qiongdu train you well so that you can fight on the battlefield when you have the opportunity!"
"Since you are the sons of the family, you naturally have to shoulder the responsibilities of the family! Of course, if you just want to live among the tribe, there is no need to say more!"
The reason why Shen Tang talked so much with his two brothers-in-law was not because he was bored!
Just like the Shaosheng family, they are not only the family members of their own women, but also the maternal family of their children in the future! When the second daughter Yisha gives birth to her second daughter in the future, but her maternal family is so mediocre, what should I do? ?
It doesn't require much help, at least you should have some ability.
"You don't need to worry! I won't leave for a few days. Before I leave, you can come find me at any time if you want! In addition, I have brought you some war horses as gifts. Go and see if you like them! "
"Lei Zheng!"
Shen Tang shouted softly, "Take them to choose some war horses. If they like it, I will give it to them!"
Their eyes lit up and they hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, brother!"
When the two of them followed Lei Zheng, Isha said softly to Shen Tang with a happy face, "Isha, thank you, master!"
Japan, safe and sound!
With more than 60,000 troops under the command of King Ren, they came to the city!
The troops of Taira no Mori, who had high hopes from the imperial court, fought three battles with the troops of Prince Inito, but they were all defeated. In the end, Taira no Mori fled back to Heian Kyo in embarrassment with only thousands of remnants of his troops!
As good fortune never comes alone, misfortune never comes alone. To make matters worse for the Taira family, the news of the three major defeats came back, which directly caused Taira Kiyomori to die from his serious illness!
Taira Kiyomori is not only the head of the Taira clan, he is also a heroic figure in the entire country of Japan! The original country of Japan was dominated by decadent aristocrats. These aristocrats who relied on family status and blood caused the rapid decline of the Japanese countries. .
This also gave opportunities to emerging forces like the Ping clan.
With the power of his samurai, he broke the rule of the traditional aristocracy, and stepped to the pinnacle of power. At the same time, although the countries were still in chaos, the power of the samurai gradually rose, and the decadent Japan was changed and transformed.
vitality.
As long as Taira Kiyomori is around, even if dozens of vassal states are in chaos, the Taira clan still has extremely strong power and has many followers of the surname! Moreover, even if it is really defeated, the Taira clan can continue to retreat to the south, or even retreat directly.
Kyushu and Shikoku.
However, the death of Taira Kiyomori caused the Taira family to lose this retreat.
Taira Kiyomori can intimidate other countries and make countless people follow him. This is what he has worked hard for throughout his life.
After Taira Kiyomori's death, the Taira family was taken over by Taira Munemori. Whether it was personal prestige, power, or methods, the two were far apart!
In addition, Taira Somori was defeated by King Ini several times, which not only prevented him from being recognized by Taira followers, but also caused a lot of opposition within the Taira clan.
The deafening shouts of killing almost resounded throughout Ping'an Capital. Although Ping'an Capital has not fallen yet, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time! Some nobles have long since fled quietly, and even ordinary people have left Ping'an Capital secretly.
.
After all, if you stay, you will only become a strong man of the imperial court. Rather than die, it is better to take the opportunity to escape and find a way out!
Taira Kiyomori was a great hero, but the funeral after his death was extremely simple! There is no way, the imperial power headed by Shirakawa will be hostile to the Taira clan in the future, and the Taira clan will fight for power within the clan, so who will bother for him?
Emperor Takakura was determined to give the Taisho Minister great control, but he really didn't have much face in the court, and the orders he gave to the courtiers were always in disobedience.
Fortunately, the King of Ren's army from outside came to the city, which made the power struggle within the Ping clan somewhat restrained. Only then did Ping Zongsheng become the leader of the Ping clan again.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the Ping clan will split apart first.
In Ping Zongsheng's mansion, the generals in his army and the courtiers who relied on him gathered together. Everyone looked at the newly minted Taizheng minister. The current situation was really uneasy.
Especially once Heian Jing was breached, how would they, the old ministers, get any benefits?
"Sir, the situation is critical now! The rebels outside the city are attacking Heianjing day and night. Although we have been arresting young men in the city to replenish our troops, the damage has been huge. I am afraid that Heianjing will not be able to hold on for long.
Therefore, adults should make some preparations in advance!"
One person spoke.
Ping Zongsheng's face was gloomy, could he not know?
But, what can he do now?
After being defeated again and again, is it possible that I can still escape?
Not to mention other places, but Harima, Awaji and the Sanuki countries on Shikoku Island to the south of Heian-kyo are still guarded by his trusted followers. He can withdraw from Heian-kyo first, accumulate strength and then fight back. Why bother to be trapped in Heian-kyo and so on?
die?
However, just retreating like this is not enough. Once you leave, you will lose your righteousness! However, the current relationship between the emperor and himself is not harmonious.
After thinking for a moment, Ping Zongsheng ordered a few close friends to stay, and then said to the others, "You can leave first and wait until after the discussion before making a decision!"
