Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Daliang State-owned Luxury Train Eloquent Emperor Full of Complaints

Xiao Mian is a hard-working child. When he was a child, his family was very poor, and his father often touched his neck and said, "I can't do it now, but your great-grandfather is very good." Xiao Mian asked, who is my great-grandfather?His father would say with emotion: "It's an emperor." Xiao Mi said: "Oh? Your Majesty? So our surname is Yang." Whenever his father heard such words, he would feel very helpless towards Shang Yu The naive Xiao Mi said: "You should study hard, so that you can have a way out." Later, Xiao Mi found out that his grandfather's surname was not Yang, because the dynasties can also be changed.His great-grandfather was named Xiao Cha, a puppet emperor of the Later Liang Dynasty.

Xiao Xian's family is very poor, and they often finish their rations before the twelfth lunar month, and they can't get rid of the pot. Xiao Mian studied at an early age and wrote good calligraphy. In order to have enough food, he copied books for others as a job.Fortunately, the wealthy family did not have a printer at that time, and the drafts had to be copied by others, so that Xiao Xian could make a living.Copying books is a very boring job. It uses very neat fonts and very tiring work in exchange for very little income.These incomes are just enough to buy steamed buns. Although he is knowledgeable and educated, the long-term hard life made Xiao Mi lose the motivation to fight.Xiao Mian is very careful when spending money, not daring to get sick, and can't take medicine when sick.Whenever there is a need to spend money, the ancestors will be asked to sue the master to borrow money everywhere, and they will also suffer countless stares.In those days, people talked about their backgrounds, but they also talked about their family backgrounds. People with good backgrounds and poor families were also laughed at.

Xiao Mi loves reading. Someone asked, why don't you become an official because you have read so much and are talented? Xiao Xian declined with a wry smile, scouting talents and promoting talents is an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, do you think it will be spread to the poor? Nature is so unreasonable. If she doesn't reason with you, she is right. Xiao Mian felt unbalanced, few people who rely on their relatives and friends to make a fortune are more capable than him, but they are more proud than Xiao Mian.In fact, Xiao Mi's point of view is like crowds crowding a bus, scolding those who are crowded and not giving up space, and unwilling to get on the back after crowding, people are like this.

In the first year of Daye (605 A.D.), the 22-year-old Xiao Xian squeezed into a luxury unmanned ticket car, and the direction was: the county magistrate of Luo County. Reason: Aunt became Empress Xiao. This is a very helpless thing. As soon as I finished scolding my mother, I became the target of scolding my mother yesterday.However, County Magistrate Xiao is not very satisfied. He has been studying for many years, and the stories of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who were kings and losers, have long become his inner yearning.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, things were even more so. Empress Xiao is not unfamiliar with Xiao Xian, but very unfamiliar, they have never met each other at all.Although Empress Xiao is my old aunt, she is not much older than me, and she has entered the palace since she was a child, so she is almost a stranger.Even if they meet each other, they may not be able to recognize each other. Maybe they all have the surname Xiao, and they just open their mouths to call them sisters.

However, just because of such a stranger, Xiao Mian prospered. He no longer has to struggle for a few steamed buns and two bowls of rice! Xiao Xian is a descendant of the Liang Dynasty. When he was a child, he often heard people around him saying bad things about the court. After analysis, he believed that this was the dissatisfaction of the people of the Liang Dynasty with the new era.County magistrate Xiao began to think about how to find a way out. For such a disgusting dynasty, there must be someone who stands up to overthrow it.However, he will definitely not be the first bird. Doubts were quickly dispelled.At the end of the Sui Dynasty, peasant uprisings broke out, one after another, like huge waves, raining punches on Da Sui's weak body.Xiao Mi knew that with such a unique advantage, he was not afraid that no one would respond.His experience also made him respectful and compassionate as a corporal.

The heroes of the world belong to our dynasty, and if God does not take them, they will be blamed! Looking at a group of heroes who persuaded him to revolt, Xiao Mian decided to lead the soldiers and horses he had developed in advance to revolt! Due to geographical reasons, his Yueyang (Hunan) uprising army was more vigorous than Li Yuan's original Jinyang (Shanxi) uprising army.Within five days, tens of thousands of horses were assembled, and by the time Yu Wenhua and this guy killed the king, the number had reached 400,000.400,000, this is definitely not a small number in an era when the country has a population of tens of millions.

Not long after Yang Guang's death, Xiao Xian saw that the time was ripe, and he was forced to assume the throne when he couldn't evade it.As in a dream, he became the county magistrate overnight and the emperor overnight.Things don't always go the way people expect, and that's the wonderful thing about history. Among the uprising armies across the country, the Daliang army should have the largest number of people. But many people can see that the Daliang Army has a large number of people, and there are more useless ones.As soon as the Liang Dynasty raised the flag of rebellion, the local people joined the army one after another.This is due to Xiao Mian's sympathy for the people, but his sympathy for the people is a bit too much, no matter whether it is the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled or the reckless children, he accepts everything.

Therefore, his army is a mob. One cannot get rich overnight, and the consequences of getting rich overnight are either complaints from relatives or fratricide.The brothers are no exception, especially the brothers who were once poor and crazy.After Xiao Xian broke out, those generals who used to accompany him began to be arrogant, and they couldn't control it.However, I believe that when all civil and military officials are invincible under Emperor Liang, one person must be very low-key. This person's surname is Cen, his given name is Wenwen, and his style name is Jingren. Cen Wenwen was born in the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty (AD 595). His father, Cen Zhixiang, was the county magistrate of Handan County, and he was also a very individual person.When Cen Wenwen was fourteen years old, Cen Zhixiang was arrested and put in prison for unknown reasons.However, judging from what happened later, Cen Zhixiang was framed by someone.

It was a sunny day, and the chiefs of the Sili department were working when they suddenly saw a child barging in. "My name is Cen Wenwen, and my father is Master Cen Zhixiang, Order of Handan." The officers collectively misfired: "This kid suddenly barged in, what is he trying to do?" "I want to avenge my father!" The officer was helpless again: "Little boy, why are you meddling in the adult's business? Come and talk to us when your hair grows full." Chiefs of the judiciary have always hated having people pointing fingers at them when they are in office, affecting their judgment.What's more, it was a child who came to yell.However, after Cen Wenwen finished expressing his thoughts eloquently, they no longer dared to underestimate the child in front of them.

This guy is not the emperor of eloquence! In fact, Cen Wenwen is the emperor of eloquence.The office staff of the Sili department with a joking mood couldn't believe that the person in front of him was only fourteen years old.They wondered if this guy had memorized his lines at home, and then went to Sili to memorize them verbatim.But even so, being able to write such an inspiring line is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.The officer was very interested in this child, and they asked Cen Wenwen: "Son, you said your father's grievances, and weeping every word seems to be true. But we can't believe it. If you can make a song and prose for us to see, we will believe it."

The chief is really humorous, whether you are wronged or not has something to do with your literary talent?However, since the chief said so, let's do it.The four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, are available on site, and Cen Wenwen can be written immediately.In a moment, Wen Cheng, hand in the answer sheet for the officers to have a look at. What happened next shocked everyone present. The comrades in Sili are all of literati background. They have read more books than leaves in the world, and their vision is not unreasonable.Cen Wenwen was in the audience, seeing several adults on the stage winking at each other, making an expression of biting their teeth and gnashing their lips, feeling uneasy in his heart.Suddenly, an officer glared at the table, with a ferocious expression, until the end, he suddenly couldn't help laughing. "It's so well written... Do you want to live!" Cen Wenwen, who has always been eloquent, is at a loss for words at this time, you don't know it, what about it? As for Cen Xiaoben's "Lianhua Fu", everyone in the Sili department was amazed.Comrade Jiang Yan also wrote an "Ode to Lianhua", whose literary grace is just like the text.All the officers on the stage were stunned, and they patted their thighs and sighed: "When I was his age, I was still learning how to make sentences." Cen Wenwen sweated profusely: "When I reach your age, you will enter the grave circle." Cen Zhixiang's case was sent back for retrial, and he was acquitted a few days later. Cen Wenwen's talent became more popular in the county, and the young man was also handsome and in good shape (beautiful appearance), so he was recommended to be a scholar.The scholars in the Sui Dynasty were different from those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Each county rarely had a few places, and those who were called were mostly erudite Confucians and another type of people.It is a legend that the little Cen Wen can be elected. At that time, Cen Wenwen was just serving his sick mother while studying.The Cen family is extremely humble. The whole county knows that Cen Wenwen is good. If he becomes an official, no one will raise any objections.However, Cen Wenwen declined the invitation.The reason for his refusal to apply is simple: he is still far away. Is he far behind? Not far off, I think. What Cen Wenwen means is that it is not far to govern the state and counties with diligence and love for the people, but if it is to govern the country and stabilize the country and help the community, then it is really too late.However, scholars at most only governed the prefectures and counties, and there was another reason for Cen Wenwen not to go.As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, those who are elected as scholars are erudite and Confucian. There is another type of person.There is no need to say more about erudite Confucianism, but the other type of people is really a bit outrageous. At that time, people often said: "If you are a scholar, you don't know the book; if you are a filial piety, your father lives away." That is to say, the guys who are promoted are all fat-bellied officials' children, and each one is more incompetent than the other.Cen Wenwen felt ashamed to fight with this group of people, so he refused to accept the call. It is often said that there are two things in the world that others cannot take away, one is one's own body and the other is one's own knowledge.Cen Wenwen is so intelligent, he has practiced for many years, and finally achieved something in his studies, and was worshiped by Emperor Xiao who occupied the local area as the Minister of Zhongshu.From being recruited as Zhongshu's servant to Xiao Xian's execution of those invincible generals, he has seen everything in his eyes.He always felt that something was going to happen to Xiao Xian, but he didn't want to say it, and he couldn't say it. There are some things that you clearly know can't be done, but you can't stop them, because no one can prove that you are right until the last moment. Cen Wenwen: When you were young, what was the one thing that you fantasized about when you grew up to be in the limelight in front of everyone? Xiao Xian: Pick up a load of dung and take it to the street, and throw a ladle on anyone who doesn't like it!
