King of Song

Chapter 467 Zhang Er's Monk

"Brother, look at these brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. They are so delicate. Buy some and give them to your mother... Mother, she will definitely like it." Lu Rong saw the four treasures of the study on the street of Daming Mansion, and made up his mind.Their mother, Xiao Guanyin, is a well-known talented woman who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, so she naturally loves these things very much.

Lu Jun glanced at it, nodded and said: "Although it is not expensive, it is also exquisite. I think my mother will like it. If I can get a few more good poems, my mother will be even happier."

"I heard a few along the way, but it's a pity that they are all vulgar works after all!" Lu Rong shook his head regretfully, and said leisurely: "After all, it can't compare to the song Xianyun Makes Skills, Flying Stars Spread Hatred, Yinhan Travels Secretly... "

"If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night!" Lu Jun shook his head and said: "Girl, you are too young, don't think about these things. You are the jewel in our palm, and there is a difference between him and him." , don't think about those things!"

"Hmph..." The little girl seemed a little unconvinced, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"The identity is different, the north and the south are different, and besides, he has already married a wife and had children, so you can do it yourself." Lu Jun had already found out that something was wrong with his younger sister's early love, so he hurriedly dissuaded her, fearing that it would become more serious and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Yeah!" Lu Rong agreed, but for some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart.He agreed with his mouth, but in his heart...it was a completely different feeling.

"Oh!" Lu Rong was thinking about something, lost his mind for a while, and accidentally bumped into an old man while walking.Several personal servants were a little nervous, and they relaxed a little when they realized that they bumped into an old man.

"Mister, I'm sorry!" Lu Rong was very polite. He followed his mother since he was a child, and he has a good upbringing and personality.

Lu Jun also said: "My sister has no intentions, please forgive me, old man!"

The old man in gray sackcloth smiled and said, "It's all right."

"Ah, the old man also bought pens and paper?" Seeing that the old man was very kind, Lu Rong chatted with him casually.

"Yes, to buy the four treasures of the study for the grandson at home!" The old man laughed: "Are you too?"

Lu Rong said: "The culture and education of the Great Song Dynasty is really prosperous!" He saw that the old man was dressed very plainly, like an ordinary person, but he also bought pens, inks, papers and inkstones for his children and grandchildren to learn and use, so he was very impressed.

Lu Jun clearly sensed the inadequacy in the younger sister's words, and said with a smile: "The old man's poems and books are passed on to the family, and his descendants will definitely be high school scholars."

"Haha, I hope that my children and grandchildren will be able to roll their names outside the Donghua Gate, but I don't know if there is such a blessing!" The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, the Golden Palace Chuanhe was held at Donghua Gate, and it was the most glorious moment for scholars.

The old man thought so, but his mood was very complicated.Is it really good to roll names outside Donghua Gate?What's going on by myself until today?Whether it is good or not.Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let them!

"This son is handsome and handsome, with extraordinary appearance, but he has the potential to be the champion." The old man changed the subject and immediately pulled Lu Jun who was standing aside.

Di Qing and his subordinates stood in the distance and saw this scene, and couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"Sovereign, old man Han seems to have gone up to strike up a conversation on purpose."

"That's right! Even though the girl accidentally bumped into him, he kept watching the two of them and leaned forward..."

"The reason why he quietly went out was to run into these two people?" Ming Yuezong's subordinates were very puzzled, thinking that Han Qi's behavior was very strange.

Di Qing was also full of doubts, what kind of medicine did Han Qi buy in the gourd, and what was he going to do with it?

"Perhaps these two young people are special!" This seemed to be the only reasonable explanation at the moment, Di Qing looked at Lu Jun in the distance, thoughtfully.Although this young man deliberately restrained his sharpness, he couldn't hide his demeanor, and he looked like an ordinary person.Especially Han Qi's attitude is intriguing, it seems that more attention is needed.Di Qing didn't know that Han Qi regarded this young man as his son.

The old man was Han Qi, and he was relieved when he received the news that Lin Zhao appeared in Bozhou.On the one hand, he was careful about Bozhou and told his nephew to deal with the tail as soon as possible. On the other hand, he wanted to verify the man from the Daming Mansion to see if it was Lin Zhao.

The matter was so important that Han Qi did not hesitate to personally testify one or two things.Even if it's embarrassing when they officially meet in the future, I don't hesitate!So he changed into his ordinary clothes and went out, watching the young couple approach him...

Originally, he was thinking about how to get close to strike up a conversation. After all, Han Xianggong had never done this kind of thing before, had little experience, and was even a little embarrassed.Unexpectedly, Lu Rong was so thoughtful that he bumped into him without paying attention.This was the best excuse. Han Xianggong immediately entered the scene and leaned on him. Everything seemed to be seamless.

"How can I have such honor with my lack of talent and learning!" Lu Jun waved his hands hastily, with a trace of doubt in his heart.Who is this old man?Are they just ordinary old people who talk a lot, or do they have other plans?I have doubts in my heart, and I am somewhat afraid.

"Oh, what's the matter!" Han Qi immediately quoted the scriptures and chatted with Lu Jun, and his words were very tentative.

Lu Jun was very cautious, but Lu Rong was too young, especially when it came to poetry and literature, he was not cautious enough immediately.You must know that Han Xianggong was born as a Jinshi. He is already knowledgeable and has a lot of works, which can easily arouse the interest of the little girl.

In this way, some information will be revealed inadvertently in speech and demeanor.Especially Han Xianggong is old and cunning, and he can easily catch things that are useful to him.

"Excuse me, the two don't seem to be the sons of my official family in the Song Dynasty!"

Lu Jun was startled suddenly, could it be that the other party has already revealed his identity?In the past few days, the guards under him said that someone seemed to be following him, but he was not sure, but now it seems that there is something real.Lu Rong was also a little nervous all of a sudden. After all, he was still young, and he couldn't be as calm as his brother, so he was a little anxious.

Lu Jun, however, looked calm, held his sister's little hand, and said with a smile: "The old man is really sharp-eyed. To tell you the truth, my sister and I came from Liaodong. My family was originally a nobleman in the Bohai Kingdom, so the Sinology of the Central Plains was passed down in our family. For a long time, it is only a small part, not complete.

I admire the culture of the Han family very much, so I came to your country to travel, hoping to make progress.Sure enough, the Great Song Dynasty is a great country, rich in resources, rich in nature, outstanding in people, and very rich, which opened our eyes.Just like Mr., who looks ordinary, but is also knowledgeable and extraordinary. Compared with Da Song, Bohai is really far behind! "

Bohai people, this rhetoric that has been discussed long ago has not come in handy until today.

Lu Rong also laughed and said: "My mother loves the culture of the Central Plains, so I want to buy some exquisite pens, inks, papers and inkstones and give them to her as gifts!"

"So it's Bohai Gaoxian, disrespect and disrespect!" Han Qi was very shrewd. The demeanor of these two people was a little surprised by the people from the Central Plains, and with some probing between words, he was already affirmed in his heart.Bohai people, it is possible, is it really so?Some words cannot be the same.

Seeing that the old man was shrewd, Lu Jun didn't want to get too entangled in this issue, and said: "The Bohai Sea belongs to Daliao now. Strictly speaking, we are also the people of Daliao. If it is inconvenient to reveal our real identity, please forgive me, old man." .”

"Haha, understand, understand!"

The ethnic groups in the north in this era are not single. For example, the area around the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun is not just Khitan people. There are also many Han people living here. Many ethnic groups such as the Xi people, the Jurchen tribe in eastern Liaodong, and the Shiwei (Mongolian) tribes in the north all belong to the Liao Kingdom in a strict sense.

Han Qi didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "But I have a question to ask your Excellency!"

"Oh? Just ask the old man if you have anything, and I will tell you everything!" Lu Jun knew in his heart that today's situation might not be easy to deal with.

"As a native of Bohai, how do you feel about Song and Liao? Do Bohai people yearn for Song or Liao more?" Han Qi asked such a question.

This question is undoubtedly a bit troublesome, asking about the aspirations of the Bohai people and the issue of belonging.

Lu Jun smiled and said: "Back when Da Zuorong established the Bohai Kingdom, although he accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, he has always had the heart of self-reliance. In fact, he has always been in a state of self-reliance. So I believe that today, Bohai people are still Have the heart of independence and founding a country.

It's a pity that in this world, the strong are always respected, whoever has the strongest power has the final say.If the Liao Kingdom ruled Bohai, the people of Bohai could only submit to the Lord of Liao; if the Song Dynasty ruled Bohai, then they could only submit to the emperor of the Song Dynasty.In the final analysis, strength is respected! "

"Haha, yes, strength is the most important thing!" Han Qi said with a smile: "If you say that, could it be possible that the people of Bohai have always had resentment, hatred, and even treason against the Khitan people?"

"How do you say that?" Lu Jun laughed and said, "There must be some, but it's only a part. Times have changed, and it's not the era of Da Zuorong. Besides, isn't there a saying in the Central Plains that is called Enwei Bingshi? Liao Although the country destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the Liao Lord treated the Bohai people pretty well. Not only the Bohai people, but also the Xi people, as well as the Yanyun Han people, all treated equally. As long as the life is rich, they are all loyal to the people of the Liao Kingdom .For the common people, as long as they are fed, clothed, and well-fed, how much does it matter who rules?"

Relatively speaking, living in the southern part of the Liao Kingdom, especially in the area around the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the treatment of Han people with a relatively high degree of Sinicization and Bohai people is relatively good.

The Liao Kingdom had south officials and north officials.The northern officials are mainly Khitan people, who deal with grassland affairs, while the southern officials employ many Han people, mainly ruling the Yanyun area in the south.Relatively speaking, the Jurchens in Liaodong, who were previously known as Heishui Mohe, belonged to the same family as the Bohai people in Sumo Mohe, and their treatment was far worse.

The Khitan people are almost in a state of slavery to the Jurchen and some nomadic peoples in the north. After a long time, they must have a heart of rebellion.This is also the reason why Wanyan beat the bone and unified the Jurchen later, and raised troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty.Now that Wanyan Daguda has been taken to the Song Dynasty by Lin Zhao, the Wanyan tribe may not become stronger, but it is hard to say about other Jurchen tribes.Maybe, sooner or later, the Jurchens will rise up to resist.

History has its contingencies as well as its inevitability.The times make heroes, without Wanyan Aguda, perhaps another outstanding Jurchen will stand up.Before it happens, everything is unknown!

As the prince of the Liao Kingdom, (yeah) Lu Jun received a good education since he was a child. With this combination of kindness and power, the emperor's power is clear to him.In particular, there are many complex tribes in the Liao Kingdom, and he has his own views and corresponding management methods.Now when Han Qi asked, he only chose a part of it to answer.The reason is very simple, as long as they have read the book, it is not surprising that knowledgeable people can answer it.

After Han Qi heard it, he was very appreciative: "Well said, it's really rare for you to have such insights at such a young age!"

What's the matter?Did you say too much?Or is the ability level of the Song Dynasty people too low?Lu Jun was a little puzzled, thinking to himself, could it be that this old man came from a humble background, and he didn't understand such important national affairs?its not right!This old man seems very unusual, not like that kind of person?A shadow suddenly cast over Lu Jun's heart, and he became a little more suspicious.

"Where, I have some superficial knowledge, please don't make fun of me!" Lu Jun was very polite and humble.

Han Qi smiled and said: "That's the truth, how good it is to give both kindness and power! Isn't what the common people want is stability! It's just a foreign rule, and the national integrity in my heart may be difficult to destroy!"

Lu Jundao: "Although that is the case, it is natural law that the weak eat the strong in this world. Deer and rabbits are destined to become the prey of tigers and wolves. No one can change it. The same is true between countries. The weak must accept the rule of the strong, unless You are stronger than the other party. For example, Khitan and Bohai were both vassals of the powerful Tang Dynasty in the past, but they were able to establish their own country later, which is a transformation of strength in itself.

Han Confucianism particularly emphasizes national integrity, which is understandable, but we must do what we can, what do you think? "

Han Qi laughed loudly: "You have good knowledge, I've been educated!" Say it, and walk away.

"Terry, I'm afraid we have to be careful, this old man is not easy." Lu Jun was thoughtful, looking at Han Qi's leaving back, feeling a little uneasy.

Lu Rong suddenly became a little nervous: "Brother, will nothing happen?"

"Of course not, don't be afraid!" Lu Jun thought to himself, at worst, he would go to the Daming Mansion and disclose his identity as the prince of the Liao Kingdom.Could it be that the people of the Song Dynasty still wanted to do something to themselves?He was sure that people in the Song Dynasty did not have the courage.

"Go, go and find out the identity of this young man immediately, and then find a way to find out what the old man's intentions are!" Di Qing couldn't understand, Han Qi came out to meet this person on purpose, what was the reason?What is so special about this young couple?
Di Qing was at a loss, but Master Han Qi was even more at a loss, at this moment he seemed to be a monk!
