Zhang Xun gave his father an elixir, and he always sat on the bedside and looked after him.
Until the hour, Zhang Zhongli did not wake up.
Zhang Xun prepared to get up and leave after confirming that his breathing was smooth and his breath was normal.
After thinking about it, he knelt down in front of Zhang Zhongli, and whispered but resolutely said: "Father, the owner of other Han ethnic groups in Jincheng County, has come to find a son today. They all know your and your uncle's plans We seriously discussed and thought that it would not be appropriate to cause trouble under the eyes of Lunaism at this time. Zhang and Liu, Zhou, and Qian decided to restrict the children of the tribe. Within three months, the homeless priest could not go out, let alone use force!"
Speaking of which, Zhang Xun gave Zhang Zhongli, who still hadn't opened his eyes, three beeps before exiting the room.
After Zhang Xun left, the old man lying on the bed was shaking with anger, and he was already thin and weak, because he had almost no human shape because of a severe cough.
Back in his study, Zhang Xun sat down to deal with the affairs of the clan.
After Zhang Yichao's turmoil, the Zhang family suffered heavy losses. The decline is a foregone conclusion. Zhang Zhongli was seriously injured and could not be a director. Zhang Xun took over as the homeowner at that time. It can be said that he was in danger.
With few males left at home and the adult man being slaughtered, he with only a little manpower and a well-known woman, he just broke through a blood path in the thorn bushes, and the building will fall. The Zhang family regained their feet, and the hardships and hardships were not outsiders.
Now watching the Zhang family have a little potential for revival, the younger generation's children are gradually growing up, and with the ability to take on family responsibilities, Zhang Xun absolutely will not allow this time. The Zhang family once again fell into the quagmire and stepped towards destruction.
This is also the common meaning of Liu, Zhou and Qian.
In fact, it is not only these Han families in Jincheng County. When you look around, which part of the Hexi area has a slightly influential Han family, is n’t it similar experiences and similar ideas? Even if it is not 10%, there are 80%.
To Zhang Yichao and Guiyi Army, Zhang Xun had no complaints. He even admired Zhang Yichao's person and respected Zhang Yichao's dedication. When the Zhang Zhongli clan responded to Zhang Yichao, Zhang Xun rushed to the front with a knife. At that time, he was still young, full of blood and loyalty, loyal to the monarch and loyal to the country, and would not lose to any benevolent person.
He just didn't trust the Tang Dynasty.
Heroes like Zhang Yichao just conquered most of Hexi in name, Gui Guijun just convinced Siyi, and the court was worried that Zhang Yichao would be independent, and he was called to Changan by a stack of books.
If Zhang Yichao is still in Hexi, will the Guiyi Army be turbulent because of power struggles?
If Zhang Yichao is always there, if the Guiyi Army does not decline, how can the Tubos make a comeback so easily? Would the Zhang family male be slaughtered for a total of seven hundred and seventy-eight, causing the entire family of orphans, widows, widows, widows, and children to face the dilemma of hunger and cold?
After Zhang Xun took over as the head of the family, in order to make a living for the hundreds of mouths of the Zhang family, the hard-bodied man did not fear the death of the warrior, knelt down the old friend and made his eyes closed.
That year, in order to spend a little bit of winter clothes and a few pots of white porridge, so that the Zhang family was weak and not buried in the cold winter, Zhang Xun had to lie on the ground, lick the dirt on the Tubo boots, and tied his weak sister. To him, the lice in the hair scrambled and smelled of sheep, and the Tubo barbarian who claimed to be a noble was ruined.
For this reason, Zhang Xun's mother did not see his pro-son until her death.
How many silent nights, Zhang Xun kept himself in the practice room, daggered his chest again and again, and let the blood flow to his body. If the physical pain can slightly reduce his own sin, Zhang Xun doesn't mind cutting off the flesh of his body and feeding it to the dog!
If he died, he could exchange for the clothing and food of the clan. Zhang Xun wouldn't even think about it, he would cut off his skull with a knife.
He really thought about a hundred ways to kill himself.
But he cannot die. He is the owner and he must stand. Death is just a one-size-fits-all effort, effortless. However, when he died, what would the tribe do, so that the succeeding owner would not suffer his pain?
Instead of letting the clan bear this kind of pain, let him, an already sinful person, eat up all the sins that should be eaten. Even if he cannot enter the ancestral hall after death, the family can continue to live up to this ancestor.
I heard that King An has already captured the seven states of Qi, Wei, and Qin. The momentum is greater than that of Zhang Yichao. But as long as you ask the Han families in the states of Qi, Wei, and Die, Zhang Xun dare to guarantee that most of them People, will never break with the Tubo people at this time!
The turbulent people are just some young people with blood, at most there are some thieves who want to take the opportunity to touch the fish in the muddy water.
Hot blood is not a mistake. When he was young, he did n’t have the pride of serving the country and the hide of Ma Ge, that was no soul; but at his own age, he did n’t know how to judge the situation and be cautious and self-protecting, that was no brain!
The Guiyi Army was so strong and powerful that it couldn't be stationed in the 11 states of Hexi. An Wang this time brought only a hundred monks and a hundred thousand soldiers, so he wanted to conquer Hexi?
Is that conquering Hexi? That's arrogance and fame! It's a children's play territory, harming others!
I heard that the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty is not completely settled, there are still Shu kings in Shu, and the princes in various places are still there. None of the towns in the town of Fan has been abated. What is the situation in this country to regain Hexi?
In a surprise attack, the Luna Sect could suffer a sullen loss, but when the Luna Sect reacted, it mobilized monks and the army to fight back. What kind of battle did An Wang take?
My father is too irrational! Uncles are also old-fashioned, and people tend to be stubborn when they are old. They only stare at one thing and die, anyway, people who are not afraid of death. There is nothing to say, understandably. But the family can't follow them and repeat the same mistakes!
If the tragic situation of that year comes again, I will not have the energy to go to kneel all over Jincheng County, I am afraid that there will no longer be the sacrifice of the sacrifice of the female family members-if I can't hold myself to death, what will the younger generation do?
Zhang Xun put down his writing brush and thought of these situations, he never thought about handling chores again, sitting in a chair with a long sigh of surprise.
In this sitting, until the sky was bright and the sun was shining into the room, Zhang Xun was suddenly surprised, and the night had passed.
As he was about to call the housekeeper to arrange some affairs, he heard the voice of the steward, "Master, General Tochigi is here. I want to see you."
"Xiemu is wrong? Why did he come so early?" Hearing the name of the person, Zhang Xun didn't dare to neglect, and quickly tidy his robes out of the study, hurrying straight to the lobby.
Tochigi wrong, this name has a different weight in Zhang Xun's mind.
At that time, the remaining grain in the farmland was snatched by the Tibetan soldiers. In desperation, he kneeled and kissed each other's shoes and gave him his sister. This was in exchange for the winter food for the people. .
Since then, Zhang Xun has become the other's running dog. In the past few years, the Zhang family has been able to fully restore its family status. The first reason is that Zhang Xun has satisfied him enough and borrowed the power of the other party.
When he came to the lobby, he saw the burly Tochigi Ma Dadao sitting on the main seat, drinking wine impatiently, and Zhang Xun hurriedly confessed with Tubo etiquette.
As a number of Tubo aristocrats in Lanzhou today, Tochico is no longer a savage who first arrived in Jincheng County. There was no lice crawling around in the hair, and no messy odor was found on the body. The Jinyi was flat and flat, and every move had a look.
The eyes of Tochigi's copper bell were staring at Zhang Xun, with a **** fierce light in his eyes, and he chuckled: "Brother Zhang, I heard that there were more speculative people in Jincheng County after the battle of Luzhou. All day long, we are welcoming Wang Shi and killing the brave and fearless Tubo warriors. Will you not have such people in your Zhang family? "
Zhang Xun's heart shuddered and he waved his hands and denied: "No, absolutely not! The Zhang family is your most loyal friend and the most intimate brother of Lunaism. How can there be such a person?"
Tochigi mistakes seemed to trust Zhang Xun. When he saw his attitude, he didn't mean to delve deeper. He nodded, but the blood in his eyes didn't converge. "Brother Zhang, you must know that Luna is the strongest in the sky. The big god, the Tubo warrior is the strongest warrior in the world, and it is impossible to be defeated! Those flies that are noisy in the city have been killed by me last night! More than 700 heads are now piled on the street in the city. You If you are interested, you can check it out. "
More than 700 people ... heard this number, Zhang Xun was cold all over the body.
He didn't believe that he was killed, so many people in the city would shout to meet King An. Needless to say, Tochigi is wrong. This is killing Liwei!
When Zhang Xun once again showed his sincerity, Tochigi's wrong eyes disappeared.
He greeted Zhang Xunbei, standing up and sitting quickly, while showing a smile that he thought was kind. He said, "Brother Zhang, I heard that your daughter has reached the age when she can marry. It is just that my son has grown up. I need an intimate woman to warm her quilt. How about having your daughter come and make a puppet for my son? "
Zhang Xun's face turned red instantly, and his heart's anger rose sharply.
His daughter has just passed by, smart, knowledgeable, and the jewel in his palm. He is also his pistachio. He is most loved on weekdays.
Zhang Xun can allow himself to bow his knees in front of Tochigi, or even to be the opponent's minion. For the sake of family continuity, he had long lost his dignity and did not care how much humiliation he would suffer.
But he must not accept that he would marry his daughter, a divine barbarian!
Not to mention, do it!
Zhang Xun would rather die than let this happen!
Zhang Xun's response was obviously not in line with Tochigi's expectations. In his imagination, this Han man who humbled himself in front of himself was like an obedient dog. Even if he asked him to eat **** and let him mingle with pigs and sheep, he would not hesitate. Now that the good things in heaven are on his head, how does he look like this?
Doesn't he know that letting his daughter be the puppet of his own son can well consolidate the relationship between his family and his family, and let the Zhang family prosper again?
Tochigi is not stupid, he stared and stared at Zhang Xun: "Brother Zhang, don't tell me you don't want to!"
Zhang Xun opened his mouth hard, but he stopped talking several times, his fists clenched, and he kept shaking.
Twenty years ago, he had personally pushed his own sister into the fire pit. Now, how can he push his own daughter into the abyss? !!
Tochigi snorted erratically: "Brother Zhang, you don't agree to such a good thing! Is it possible that the Zhang family really has something to do with those guys who are eager to welcome the Tang army? Dude? Do you want to be bad for Luna, or do you want to kill me ?! "
There was no trace of blood on Zhang Xun's face, and he looked up and grinned.
He wanted to answer aloud: Yes!
Every time he bent down in front of Tochigi, he would want to cut off the opponent's head a hundred times!
He even thought that when the day he was old, the day when he could hand over the family to his son, he would pierce his face with a sharp blade, destroy his appearance, and then rushed into the wrong mansion of Tochigi and died with him. !!
But he couldn't.
He yelled countless times in my heart. I am a Han, a descendant of Emperor Hanwu, a descendant of Huo Qubing, and a people of Li Shimin. How can I bow my head to the savage? !!
He had to bow his head.
Zhang Xun stood up tremblingly, gritted his teeth, buried his face, and knelt down in front of Aomu Cuo, thanking the other party for his gift.
Tochigi mistakenly became angry and laughed.
Tochigi went wrong, only to say that three days later, Zhang Xun washed his daughter and sent him over.
Zhang Xun stood motionless in the hall, like the same statue, with no trace of blood on his face and hands, as if the blood had dried up in an unknown place.
Until his death, Zhang Xun had never seen his daughter again.
No face.
That night, his 14-year-old son, Zhang Dong, rushed into his study, pointed at him with his head and his face scolded, and various filthy words that could not bear his ears appeared endlessly, which almost killed Zhang Xun instantly.
Soon, Zhang Dong with swollen nose and face was thrown out of the study by Zhang Xun.
The resentful teenager got up hard, spit blood on the door of the study, scolded the Tibetan dog, and limped to the wall to find Zhang Zhongli.
Zhang Zhongli was sitting on the steps of the door, drinking with his back to the yellow lights in the room, lonely and lonely, but with extremely stubborn shoulders.
At his feet, the empty jug was scattered.
When Zhang Dong saw Zhang Zhongli, he was coughing violently, and his hoarse and violent coughing sound almost coughed out his lungs.
Zhang Dong, who has a bad temper, sees Zhang Zhongli, but is gentle and well-behaved. After meeting the rules, he rushed over to caress his grandfather's generation and advised him to drink less. It was better to return to the house at night when the stone steps were cold.
Seeing his grandson, the old man also had a warm smile of affection, waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to care, and then pulled the other side to sit beside him, and handed the jug in his hand to the other side.
Zhang Dong's eyes widened and he unexpectedly said, "Grandfather, haven't you kept me from drinking?"
The dying old man touched his grandson's head and smiled, "Did you just quarrel with your father? This means that you have grown up. The man is grown up, so he can drink."
Zhang Dong was even more surprised: "Grandson quarreled with his father, that means ... grown up?"
Although he was naughty from an early age, the Zhang family was a heirloom after all. His family education was very strict. Right and wrong were clearly distinguished. Zhang Xun gave his elder sister a savage, and under grief and indignation, he could lose his reason to quarrel with Zhang Xun, but this behavior itself is outrageous and can only be punished.
Zhang Zhongli sighed angrily and indignantly, "That sinner, who has lost all of our Han Jiaerlang's face, should be scolded! You are only fourteen years old, you are already a monk, and sooner or later you want to inherit the title of the owner In the future, they will take the tribe to fight against the Tubo people. Now, what's wrong with this Tubo running dog? "
The young Zhang Dong noticed that the grandfather's eyes were full of madness when he said these words.
For a time, Zhang Dong could hardly believe his ears, thinking that his grandfather was crazy.
However, after half a pot of wine, Zhang Dong stopped thinking about it, and began to scold Tubo people.
Zhang Zhongli couldn't stop laughing.
Just looking at Zhang Dong's eyes, he suddenly lost focus.
A long time ago, there was also a teenager who scolded the Tubo in front of himself.
At that time, he was always pestering himself, telling him to tell him the eternal record of Wei Qing and Huo Qu's illness, the emperor Taizong's dying of the Four Kingdoms, and the death of all nations. Whenever he talked, the young man would listen extremely fascinated, and then flushed with blush, jumped into the yard and waved the sword, and screamed in his mouth.
The looks of the two teenagers were so similar, they were almost indistinguishable.
Time passes like a white horse.
However, the heroic heroes who used to be brave and murderous are now a bad old man with injuries and can't dance anymore.
Just hate! The former boy is now a middle-aged hawk without bones and forgetting his ancestors!
"Grandfather, tell me more about Huo's illness. Tell him how he ran alone for thousands of miles, killing the Quartet, and struck the prairie barbarians, and sealed the wolf!" Zhang Dong raised his childish face, full The eyes of anticipation shone brightly.
Zhang Zhongli looked back, looking at his grandson's pure face, and suddenly a strong fear rose in his heart. He was afraid, for the **** and spirited young man in front of him, after many years, he also became the young man.
He suppressed this uneasy uneasiness, shook his spirit, and began telling countless times about the history that is no longer familiar.
He spoke very affectionately, devotedly, with a calm face, solemn eyes, and sacred meaning in his bones.
Because what is told from his mouth is not history, but history.
By the time he finished, the young man was as usual, screaming and jumping into the hospital with a blushing expression, as if he was going to open mountains and rivers in the next moment.
The old man quietly looked at the young man and forgot to drink. The smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared.
When it came, Zhang Zhongli beckoned and motioned for the sweaty Zhang Dong to stand up.
"Donger, you don't have a word yet. Grandpa will get you a word," said the old man.
"But grandfather, can a man be given a word by his elder only when he is crowned?" The young man asked in confusion.
"It doesn't matter, I'll get it for you today ... Grandfather's body will not be completed, I'm afraid it won't be that day." The dry wrinkles on the old man's face were stubborn.
"No, grandfather will live forever! Grandfather, if you want to take it, your grandchildren will now!" The young man knelt down in front of the old man.
"Okay, okay! It is indeed my grandson. Grandson, remember, don't forget your whole life, your last name is Zhang, first name, word-Chang'an! Zhang Dong, Zhang Chang'an, this is your name."
"Zhang Dong, Zhang Changan. Grandfather, I remember! But what does my name mean?"
"Meaning ..." Described the withered old man lost his hip flask, stood up beside the quiet and remote yard, straightened his stubble body, and looked at the southeast with his eyes full of piety, Word by word: "Looking east, it's Chang'an!"
Looking east is Chang'an.
Looking east is Chang'an, grandchild, don't forget this forever.
There are our greatest ancestors, our most glorious dynasties, our most upright backbones, and our most reluctant dreams.
There is also our deepest suffering, the most memorable pain.
My grandfather had looked eastward countless times, but all he saw was countless Guanshan. Chang'an City, my grandfather is old and destined to see it. But my grandfather had killed and bleed it, even if I had never seen it, it was in my heart. If you die, you will not forget it in the grave.
You are still young and have a chance to see it.
Be sure to check it out.
Looking east is Chang'an, grandchild, that's your hometown, the hometown of each of us.
You have to remember that you are Hanjiaerlang.
Even if you do n’t see it in your whole life, even if you can only die in a foreign country, you will have to die like a Han family!
