The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Update time: 22--7

Everyone's eyes focused on Su Jin. This son was not ashamed to say that the great grandfather entrusted him with a dream. Almost everyone present did not believe it; When the Lord swept the world, this person was still smoking somewhere; the heroic spirit of the commoner Taizu, who was as ordinary as nothing, would find him to dream of him, and it would be a joke to say it.

The common people and officials were frightened by his behavior at first, and there were thunder and lightning in the sky, and dark clouds billowed in the sky. The seamless cooperation increased the credibility; but at this moment, King Teng, who is of royal blood, openly expressed doubts. Everyone suddenly came to their senses, this kid really had a way of demagoguery, and they were almost deceived by him.

The next thing everyone is interested in is how Su Jin can prove that the great grandfather entrusted him with a dream to pass on the legacy. It is conceivable that as soon as this kid shows his flaws, King Teng will order his guards to kill him without hesitation.

People's moods were very conflicted. They hoped to hear Su Jin give a reasonable explanation, but at the same time they were afraid that his blood would splatter on the spot, because it was obvious that this Su Xiaoguan could never be favored by the great grandfather; , and the appearance is justified, there is nothing special about him that is more special than others.

Under the eyes of everyone, Su Jin slowly climbed down from the incense table, carefully removed the Xiaobai on his head, covered it on the tablet of Emperor Taizu, and blocked the falling rain; A commoner, the grass people were flattered by the favor of the ancestor Taizu, and the grass people were flattered; today I wanted to announce your will to His Highness Prince Teng alone according to your wishes, but the prince refused, so I had to make it public. If there is any offense, Taizu should know that the grass people are really helpless, if I don't do this, I'm afraid I will be cut to pieces today, so Taizu will let the grass people be greedy for life and fear death."

King Teng sneered and said, "It's a good show. I'm afraid Chen Shishi, a famous actor in the capital, is not as good as you, Su Jin."

All the officials laughed and sarcastically said: "Exactly, why don't you become an actor? Why do you go to study? With your acting skills, it's no problem to be famous, and you may have a higher reputation than Master Chen."

Su Jin endured the cynicism, but there was no anger on his face. He comforted Taizu that his spiritual position was over, he straightened up and slowly turned around, his eyes swept across the audience with cold eyes; Both women understand that this is a matter of life and death, the young master only needs to be a little careless in his words, and if he is questioned by King Teng, the big thing will be over.

Especially everyone in the Su family knew that Su Jin didn't sleep last night, so why did he talk about a dream? It must be a plan to get out, but it's a pity that it was self-defeating and trapped himself in it.

Xiao Sui'er, Rou Niang Huan Niang, and the others are already ashamed. Besides studying, the young master is doing business. He grew up so much that he only traveled far away for studying. He has seen as many things as the little pillars of driving a car. How can he It is too late to say what the great-grandfather's legacy is, even if it is compiled now.

Yan Biyun naturally knew this truth, but her face was very calm, because as soon as Su Jin's self-seeking behavior came out, Yan Biyun guessed that the ending would be unfortunate; she was just a little puzzled, why Su Jin wanted to commit suicide, He even thought that Su Jin might not be able to get along with him, even if his uncle intervened in it, it might be a dream come true in the end; maybe Su Jin didn't want to suffer any longer because of this?

Yan Biyun suddenly remembered the half-literate poem that he saw on Su Jinfang's desk that day: Life is precious, and love is more expensive; connecting this moment with this scene, Yan Biyun had to ask: Could it be that Lang Are you really so stubborn and so affectionate?However, how can the slave family live up to the affection of the gentleman, today the husband is unfortunate, how can the slave family live alone.

Su Jinhun didn't expect that his actions would be interpreted in other people's minds, and he didn't have time to think about them. At this time, he was organizing his words, and he was preparing to put an end to the matter in front of him.

"My lord, my lord, all my fathers and folks, today I, Su Jin of Luzhou, have ordered this legacy to be made public by the order of my great-grandfather. Every sentence I say is true, and it can even be studied thoroughly. All folks, please do it for me." a testimony."

"Say, we're listening..."

"Grandfather Tuomeng will ask you to announce the will on behalf of him, it is a strange thing."

"Listen to your bragging, let's see how you make it up, lie about the legacy of the great ancestor to exterminate the nine clans."

"He has been condemned to death, of course he has to fight it out..."

The crowd reacted mixedly.

King Teng's face darkened, and Qin Fei hurriedly shouted loudly: "Everyone, keep quiet, the prince is waiting to hear the last instruction from the great grandfather, please don't make any noise, and if there is any noise, bring in and punish him for twenty."

The crowd fell silent for a moment, and thunder rolled across the clouds in the sky, as if a big drum was beating crazily in everyone's heart, and everyone's heartbeat also became rapid.

Su Jin wiped off the rain on his face, and said in a deep voice: "After escaping from the Fuya Square last night, I hid in a flower room. I was startled and terrified, and fell asleep unconsciously. I saw a woman in my dream. The old man with a golden body flying past, I don’t know it’s a dream, so I’m very surprised to see people can fly in the air, so I let out a sound of admiration.”

"Who would have thought that the old man heard my exclamation and turned his head to fly in front of me. When he saw that I was dressed in a mess, he asked why; I told him that I was a student of the Tianyuan Academy, because the yamen took my friend from the courtyard. Using the words and sentences in the article as evidence, the class was charged with contempt for the Holy Majesty and slandering the court, so I took all the students in the courtyard to ask for an explanation. No. The old man’s expression changed drastically after hearing this, and he muttered to himself: “Have they forgotten my last instruction?”; I don’t understand what he said, and in a blink of an eye, the old man has disappeared .”

"Make it up, keep making it up, let's see what weird things you can come up with." Teng Wang said coldly.

Su Jin ignored him, and continued: "I see that the person has disappeared, and I want to look around to see where he has gone, but I am in a dream, I have no strength under my feet, and I can't move my feet at all. When I was in a hurry, But the old man suddenly came back and came to me; I quickly asked him where he had gone, and he said, "I have gone to Yingtianfu Yamen to read the articles, all of them are works that worry about the country and the people, not slander. It is to offer advice for the country, this governor has overcorrected and wronged the students."

"I sighed and said: 'Even so, it's unthinkable, Mr. Fu Yin avoided seeing him, and I was falsely accused of being a thug. I can't protect myself. I'm afraid that all the students will suffer misfortune." The old man thought for a while and said to me:' Do you know who I am?" I shook my head and said I don't know, the old man took out his clothes and put them on, which turned out to be the emperor's clothes with dragon robes, dragon crowns and dragon boots. But the old man pulled me up and said, "I am the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. The Emperor Taizu you are talking about is not the emperor who is sitting on the throne today." I was shocked. I know that the Taizu Emperor has been dead for dozens of days. However, this time I saw the heroic spirit of the great grandfather."

"Seeing that I was frightened, Grandpa Taizu comforted me and said: 'After my funeral, I became the star of the emperor in the sky. Because I was concerned about the country and society of the Song Dynasty, I occasionally entered other people's dreams to see the scenery of the country and the mountains of the Song Dynasty. To unravel the thoughts of the homeland, this time is just to enter your dream.' After Taizu said this, I realized that I was in a dream; I saw the opportunity, so I asked Taizu to show me a way In order to save my classmates and students, the great grandfather told me the three last precepts, and asked me to find the royal family to preach to him. He also said that all the people who inherited the royal blood had known these three last precepts. deal with them."

What Su Jin said was vivid, with nose and eyes, and everyone was dazzled and trembling, imagining the scene in the dream; even King Teng was attracted to hear the end, but he didn't make any sarcastic remarks.

"My lord, my lord?" Qin Fei shook Prince Teng's sleeve and whispered.

When King Teng came back to his senses, he realized that he was too involved in the story, his face flushed, and he said, "Su Jin, this story is very well written, but what about the legacy? Since you said that the great grandfather was In the dream, I told you the three last instructions to be announced to the people of the royal family, why did you set up an incense table here instead of going to my palace to tell me?"|

Su Jin said: "I wanted to go to the palace to inform the prince, but this matter is a bit absurd. If I mentioned it to the prince, the prince would definitely think that I was trying to excuse the students. On the contrary, I have a thousand mouths and I can't explain it; Besides, I am wanted by the government, and the prince's mansion has not entered, I am afraid that he has been captured by the soldiers, let alone meeting the prince."

"Then you set up an altar here to worship the emperor Taizu, so as to attract people to watch. You know that if you worship the ancestors of this king, this king will definitely appear?"

"My lord is wise, that's exactly the case, but setting up an incense table to pay homage to the great ancestor is not just to attract the lord to come. Since I dream of meeting the great grandfather, how can I not set up an incense table to pay respects to my subjects? The meaning is, of course, all the folks here can also be a witness for me, so that they will not be thrown into prison indiscriminately by some muddled officials, and there will be no day of defense."

Tang Jie's face was green and red, and he shouted: "You little thief, are you shadowing the Benfu?"

Su Jin sneered and said: "Master Fu Zun is very sensitive, if you are not guilty, why should you worry about it?"

Before Tang Jie could refute, King Teng said again: "After talking for a long time, why can't I remember the three ancestral precepts that are known to everyone in the royal family? Could it be that this king is ignorant and ignorant?"

Su Jin sneered and said: "If you always remember this ancestral instruction, why did the great grandfather ask me to remind you in a dream?"

King Teng shouted: "Okay, let's talk about it. Since I have forgotten it, please tell me. If I can't remember it again, I will go to the capital to ask the emperor's uncle; but if you talk about it, not only you The Su family, including your relatives, old friends, teachers and classmates will inevitably commit the crime of coercion, and all of them will be severely punished."

Su Jin proudly said: "If that's the case, listen to your honor, Su Jin didn't intend to survive today. If I want to survive, why should I set up an altar to worship in this large crowd, attracting officers, soldiers and servants to ask for trouble, so I would have escaped a long time ago. Hiding among the mountains and forests."

King Teng raised his finger and said: "Although this king despises what you have done, you are also a responsible man. I said, this king guarantees to keep your whole body."

Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "I would like to thank the prince for this. These three last instructions came from..."

Su Jin paused slightly, and the audience fell silent. All eyes were on Su Jin's body, waiting for the next sentence.
