Chapter 2 Tian Deping is the sword, the dancing horse is the mutton, and the altar is the iron pot
Smelling the ancient and bloody smell in the secret room that spread over time, Wu Ma's heart beat wildly.
As an amateur historian who once specialized in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wu Ma quickly caught clues from the conversation between Gao Lang and Tian joining the army, and clarified the background of the two men in front of him.
If this is not a prank, then there is no doubt that the dancing horse came to the Sui Dynasty, a famous longevity dynasty in history.
Jinyang and Taiyuan, these two place names, as well as the word rebel, can easily be related to the hereditary Duke of Tang in the late Sui Dynasty, and Taiyuan stayed behind——
A man who gave two cuckolds to Emperor Sui Yang was still safe and sound. He was not only Emperor Sui Yang’s cousin, but also Emperor Sui Yang’s uncle, a relative of Emperor Sui Yang, and the gravedigger of the Sui Dynasty: Li Yuan. Contact
Together???.
Think again about the title Gao Lang gave to the dancing horse just now - "Lang Jun". Isn't this exactly the title given to young men in the Sui and Tang Dynasties?
From the accent, it can also confirm the inference of dancing horses.
He still remembered in which book he had read that the Chinese nation had a common language 3,000 BC, which was the Luoyang dialect of the Heluo area.
At the end of the Jin Dynasty, when the Five Hu Dynasties invaded China, wealthy households in Heluo moved southward and brought Luoyang accent to the areas bordering Fujian. Later, the accent in the north evolved due to various reasons, but many pronunciations of Luoyang accent were retained in the Hokkien language.
So when it comes to which dialect the official pronunciation of the Sui and Tang dynasties is closer to in modern times, later scholars infer that it should be Hokkien???.
Yes, the historical coordinates where the dancing horse is located must be the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty.
And it must be the thirteenth year of Daye, which is AD 617.
To be more precise, it was before May 15th of this year.
A major historical event will happen soon - Jinyang raises troops.
Li Yuan will raise the flag of justice here and formally raise his troops. After that, he will march southward in just five months until he captures Daxing City.
The Tang Dynasty, which lasted for 289 years, will set sail from here, brave the wind and waves, and sail all the way to the magnificent sea.
The two people we just talked to played an important role in the Jinyang uprising, and their identities are easy to reveal.
A surnamed Gao, whose position was a general, was undoubtedly loyal to the Sui Dynasty. In the massive rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he persisted in going upstream and vowed to fight against Li Yuan. The deputy left behind in Taiyuan, Wu Yalang general Gao
Junya.
The other surname was Tian, and his position was to join the army. Naturally, it was Tian Deping, the soldier who almost cheated Li Yuan in the history books.
Why is it said that this must be before May 15th?
Because after this day, Gao Junya will be thrown into prison by Li Yuan and will never be free again.
As we all know, the profession of being a loyal minister in the late Sui Dynasty was really dangerous. It was comparable to being the president of country h, a hostage in country e, a policeman in country m, and a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Ma didn't know what Gao Junya was thinking in his heart. Anyway, when he read this period of history, he felt that this brother was too loyal.
Dancing Horse reviews the past events and ponders one's own situation.
The historical coordinates have been determined, but what do Gao and Tian mean by what they just said?
There is never any mention of spiritual enlightenment, cultivation or blood sacrifice in the history books.
Awakened disciple is a word that has never been seen in novels.
Listening to what Gao and Tian said, Wu Ma has a big responsibility at the moment, and it's a big one.
It is related to the country, the country, and the survival of the Sui Dynasty.
But in order to shoulder the heavy responsibility, the dancing horse's life had to be handed over to the court.
Dancing Horse's heart sank.
If Wu Ma wants to survive, he must survive. Even though he struggled among countless zombie monsters, he never gave up hope of living.
Footsteps sounded again, from far to near - Gao Junya came over.
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun,"
Gao Junya said: "I know that Lang Jun is awake. If you are hungry and want to eat, please tell me."
Dancing Horse is really hungry.
Just when he wanted to open his mouth to speak, he realized that his mouth seemed to be sealed and could not move.
He tried his best and only made a slight sound——
"Uh-huh……"
"I know you can't eat,"
Gao Junya said: "In such a situation, who would have the heart to eat..."
In my heart, I want to let you live.
Please tell me, Mr. Lang, do you want to live?
If you want to, just nod."
Wu Ma tried to nod, but his head felt as heavy as lead.
Gao Junya said again: "You don't speak or nod, so do you want to die for the country?
If you really think so, don't say anything."
The dancing horse exerted all its strength without making any sound from its throat.
But I heard the sound of sleeves wiping the floor from the side.
Then there was a thud, and it seemed that Gao Junya knelt on the ground.
"Strong man!"
Gao Junya kowtowed and said:
"Since you are willing to sacrifice your life for charity and sacrifice your life for justice, please accept my respectful bow.
I would like to swear to God that on the day of the sacrifice at the rain prayer meeting, after the old thief Li Yuan is killed, I will give you a good burial."
The dancing horse is speechless.
Gao Junya said: "Well, I wanted to take care of your family after you died.
But when I asked Tian Canjun, he said that you were unknown when he caught you, and you seemed to have no relatives or friends, which is a pity."
"brother,"
Gao Junya stood up unsteadily,
"The smell of blood in this house is too strong for me to stay here for long.
There is still some time before the rain prayer meeting. I will ask people to give you good food and drink, so that you can go on your way happily without having to starve to death.
On the day of praying for rain, I will definitely ask Tian Canjun to give you a good time, and I will never let you suffer any more.
If you have knowledge under the spring, or are you a ghost or a monster, don't come to trouble me. If you want to find it, just go to the people named Tian and Wang."
After Gao Junya finished speaking, he staggered out of the door. The only thing left in the secret room was the dancing horse lying on the cold stone slab.
The body of the dancing horse is very cold, but the blood on its body is very hot.
Having experienced death, he understands the value of life better.
Whether it's time travel or rebirth, Dancing Horse will survive.
The meaning of Gao Junya's words is very clear. There will be a rain praying meeting soon, and Tian Deping prepared a sacrifice at the rain praying meeting.
The purpose of the sacrifice: to kill Li Yuan.
Sacrifice: dancing horse.
Wu Ma gradually calmed down. In his memory, he did not wait for the rain prayer meeting. Gao Junya, Tian Deping, and the other mastermind of the rain prayer meeting, Taiyuan deputy left behind, and Jun Cheng Wang Wei, were killed by Li Yuan in Jin Dynasty.
The yang and yin in the palace are gone.
However, Wu Ma was unwilling to wait passively, nor did he dare to place his hope on fate, because the atmosphere he felt was completely different from that in the history books.
Sacrifice, awakened disciple.
These two words are filled with an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.
Only God knows if something unexpected will happen.
A butterfly flapping its wings is a scary thing, and a dancing horse is a butterfly.
There is no telling which day Tian Deping will be the first to take action on a whim, then it will be too late.
The dancing horse must save itself.
————————
Anyway, they are all free chapters, so let me note two first.
Note 1: The three-level relationship between Li Yuan and Yang Guang is true and can be checked and tested. There are not many truths in this book, so read it carefully.
Note 2: Regarding the Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Xiaosong once told a particularly interesting story. He said that an American couple who specialized in the history of the Tang Dynasty could speak the Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty, but could not speak Mandarin. Once the couple went to Guangdong.
When I took a taxi, I didn’t know how to tell the driver the location. When I was anxious, I started talking in Mandarin from the Tang Dynasty. The taxi driver understood it right away, and the three of them talked all the way, and there was no barrier to communication. The final conclusion was reached.
The Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty was almost the same as Cantonese.
