Chapter 41 2. The Background of the Great Era

Xi Zong's father is Emperor Yi Zong. He is a fanatical fan of Buddhism. His biggest shortcoming is that he is not serious about his job, but he is willing to spend money on his hobbies. He was so excited that he burst into tears in order to meet the Buddha's bone.The minister advised me that Emperor Xianzong died a year later when he welcomed the Buddha's bones. Isn't it a little inappropriate for us to continue doing this?But he said: "If you are born to see the Buddha's bones, you will have no regrets when you die." As a result, his words became a prophecy. He died three months later at the age of 41.

What are the heroes of the troubled times of the future doing this year? Wang Xianzhi and Shang Junchang from Changyuan made a lot of money by selling private salt, and they are continuing to recruit desperadoes from all over the world to enrich their team; Rumors such as "The golden toad is fighting for the eye, but the whole world in Caozhou is turned against".The local government already felt some pressure, and the probation army complained to the imperial court, but the imperial court was busy dealing with Nanzhao in the southwest, and none of the prime ministers took this as a big deal, and just ordered local troops to send troops to maintain law and order.

Their future generals are having a hard time, some very sad.For example: An honest farmer, Zhang Quanyi, after planting his own fields, went to the county town to perform labor labor according to the rules, but he was always bullied and beaten by the county magistrate, but he never dreamed of taking revenge on anyone. Li Hanzhi was even worse. He was a monk at first, but he couldn't continue, so he changed his career to become a beggar. He grew so strong that he couldn't even ask for food. After a while, these people will be the most important figures on the Central Plains Hero Ranking List.

The other heroes were not idle either. Twenty-two-year-old Po Zhusan is still working as a long-term worker in Xiao County. He occasionally goes out to shoot two robbers and kill a few rabbits. The worst thing is that he has a crush on the daughter of Mr. Zhang, the governor of Songzhou. It's a big joke. Thief Wang Ba is still fooling around in Wuyang, Xuzhou. His daily activities are nothing more than slaughtering cattle, stealing donkeys, and smuggling salt. Qian Po, a young guy from Hangzhou, stayed to gamble all day long. If he lost the bet, he would sell smuggled salt, become a robber, and continue to gamble after paying off his debts. Fortunately, his credit is not bad, and there are always people willing to lend him money.Although there were rumors that he would turn into a strange reptile when he slept, everyone smiled knowingly and thought it was a disguised curse.

Yang Xingmi from Huainan is a robber, and it will take a few years before he will be arrested, and then he will become an officer and soldier, and he will become a robber again if he can't continue. At present, how can this group of people look like they are worthless, but what about in a few years?That's anyone's guess. Not only the reckless people above, but also the generals of the Tang Dynasty are also bothering. General Kang Chengxun made great contributions in defeating the rebel Pang Xun's troops a few years ago, but he somehow offended Yizong's son-in-law Wei Baoheng and others, and was demoted to the end. He seems to be still serving as Sima of Enzhou, holding the court's Salary doesn't matter, leisurely fishing in the south.However, his old subordinates were a little bit aggrieved. For example, Song Wei and Liu Jurong complained in private, and even said some outrageous things.Li Keyong, a native of Shatuo, always had a bad relationship with the officials sent by the imperial court. He felt that they discriminated against him as a minority, and he didn't take the surname bestowed on him by his father and son seriously.In addition, he also has opinions on Kang Chengxun's matter.

It seems that everyone's life is not very happy. At present, only the eunuch Tian Lingzi is living a relatively comfortable life - after all, Emperor Xizong was brought up by him alone, and he is called "Father". We are not father and son, but we are like father and son.It's just that the little emperor spends money lavishly, which makes "Father Tian" a little troubled. After all, "Father" is not very professional in collecting money, and will only make tricks and trick people.But anyway, he can make the little emperor happy and help him save enough pocket money, which seems to be enough to be regarded as a loyal minister.

However, more than 700 years ago, an old Hanyin father asked: "May I ask if the world is chaotic and the emperor is evil? Reasonable and the emperor is evil? The emperor is the father and the world is evil? Serve the world and serve the emperor?" From the perspective of Tian "Father" and the little emperor, this is probably a very difficult question to answer.
