Chapter 7 Husky (1)

Early in the morning, many people gathered in front of Luoyang County’s government office.

Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the gimmick of the first diplomatic conflict incident has indeed attracted a lot of attention. After the incident yesterday, Luoyang people began to make many judgments on the handling of the incident. Among them, some elderly scholars shook their heads and told their views on this matter. Their views were surprisingly similar, nothing more than that the Great Sui Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Empire, and they should have broad minds and educated overseas barbarians with benevolence and virtue... etc.

This has led many people to be unhappy about the ending of Xiong Dahai.

Of course, there will be some people who have raised objections. It was clearly the animals of the Japanese slaves who injured people on the road, but Xiongdahai went forward to stop them, and then they had a conflict with the guards of the Japanese slave envoys. Furthermore, it was clearly the people of the Japanese slaves who took action first, but they could not defeat Xiongdahai before they could die. Why should Xiongdahai pay for their lives? Could it be that my people in the Sui Dynasty are not worth much?

There are many people who hold this view, but they don’t know how to refute the “benevolence and moral education” mentioned by those Confucian scholars.

In short, this incident did make many people interested, so early in the morning, the county government office was crowded.

Zheng Yanqing did not go to watch, but found a relatively remote and quiet teahouse near the county government office to sit down.

In fact, it is not considered a tea shop. To be precise, it is a snack shop.

Sell ​​some steamed cakes, soup cakes and other foods. Many customers don’t eat here, but buy them and take them away. Therefore, the environment of the small tea shop is quite quiet. Yan Qing ordered Mao Xiaonian a bowl of soup cakes, and he sat under the tea shop shed, looking at the passing crowd, and listening to the seemingly casual conversation between the tea shop owner and the guests.

He has done everything he can.

Although his visit to the county government may attract some attention, it cannot change the proposition of a fifth-rank county magistrate.

Instead of joining in the fun, it is better to sit in this tea shop and listen to people’s chat.

Zheng Shi'anxiong's sledgehammer, and some old neighbors were worried, and they all came to the county government office to listen to the results.

In the words of Xiong Sledgehammer, "The big red boy will at least not be too scared when he sees us!"

"Master, why don't you eat?"

Zheng Yanqing was listening to the conversation between the boss and the customer who bought steamed cakes. Mao Xiaonian asked about it and replied softly: "I'm not too hungry now, so you eat quickly. I guess the verdict on the county government will not be too long, and it may end in a while."

Mao Xiaonian really wanted to say a few more words to Yan Qing, but she didn't know how to speak.

"It's a decision, the county magistrate has a decision!"

At this moment, a young man hurried over and said panting: "Dad, the county magistrate has made a decision!"

"Is it a question or what?"

Not only the owner of the tea shop is interested, but many customers who buy things and those who eat in the tea shop are interested in this.

"You absolutely wouldn't have imagined... Hehe, it's been in prison for three years."

"Ah?" A guest seemed a little disappointed. "It's all human life. I've only been given a prison sentence for three years? It's too light!"

This guy is a typical fear that the world will not be in chaos.

Zheng Yanqing frowned and looked at the guy. He felt a little unhappy: Could it be that he must die before he could be willing to do so?

A guest said, "Why are you talking like this? The Japanese people almost hurt my people in the Sui Dynasty. Xiong Dahai also had a conflict to save people. From your tone, do you think the lives of my people in the Sui Dynasty are not as good as those of the Japanese people?"

"I didn't say that..."

"Don't argue, listen to Xiaoliu, what's going on?"

It is impossible for everyone to crowd out of Luoyang County to watch the fun, but this does not mean that they are indifferent to this matter. In fact, after three hundred years of turmoil, the Great Sui Dynasty ushered in a brilliant era. The construction of Xinluo City and the excavation of the Grand Canal certainly cause trouble for the people to lose money, but compared to the years of war, this is nothing.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that people living at the bottom of the country came out of that dark era, they were more likely to feel a strong sense of pride than those old scholars. For an overseas barbarian, a group of three-inch people would have to pay their lives. For many civilians, it is probably not easy to accept. Therefore, someone asked the guy urgently.

The man named Xiaoliu was proud, "In the complaint of the Evangelist, Xiong Dahai said that Xiong Dahai was killing people by throwing a knife. Moreover, Xiong Dahai did not deny that he killed people in the hall. The county magistrate believed that since it was throwing a knife to kill people, it should be unintentional. Since it was unintentional, according to the Kaihuang Law, Xiong Dahai should not be executed, so he was sentenced to three years in prison."

Zheng Yanqing took out five copper coins from his pocket and placed them on the food table.

"Xiao Nian, let's go."

He no longer needed to listen. As he expected, Xiong Dahai was even exempted from the punishment of thirty rods, and there was nothing more, and it could be more perfect than such a result... And from the mouths of the civilians in the market, Yan Qing also learned that Luoyang people had no opinions on such a result. This is very important, because Silitai's criminal case sometimes starts from public opinion and retried some controversial verdicts.

Since Luoyang people have no objection, it depends on what the Japanese people are like.

If the Japanese nu Kingdom could not express any objection to the verdict, Silitai would not have asked about the matter, and the matter would have passed. Three years later, when Xiong Dahai came out of prison, he would still be a famous hero.

Zheng Yanqing was afraid of recurrence in this matter.

Once Silitai wants to reissue the case, it will not only be a hero to Xiong Dahai, but also a torture to the Xiong family.

But what would the Japanese people have?

Zheng Yanqing could not influence him, so he could only pay attention to this matter silently...

"Xiao Nian, grandpa and the others should go to the county jail now. You go and meet them."

Yan Qing stepped on the green donkey at the intersection of the street and gave Mao Xiaonian the instructions. He did not ride Yutijun into the city. After yesterday's inexplicable conflict, Yan Qing had to be more careful. The green donkey Xiaoqing was not as good as Yutijun, but the key was that he was gentle and would not cause trouble.

Mao Xiaonian said: "Young Master, aren't you going back?"

"I want to go to Datong City. Mr. Luopu sent someone to deliver the letter a few days ago, saying that he had bought several Han and Wei steles.

You also know that in another month, it will be Brother Du’s birthday. When he went to Chang'an County to take office, I didn’t have any gifts to give him. He liked inscriptions and calligraphy, so I went over and saw it. If there was a suitable one, I would give it to Brother Du.”

"Then, let me go with you."

Mao Xiaonian's tone was filled with a hint of expectation.

Zheng Yanqing shook his head, "No need, you go back first. Grandpa and the others are old, and they probably didn't have a good rest last night, so you need to take care of them."

Mao Xiaonian felt a little disappointed, but her face was not revealed.

She responded and turned and left.

This place is not far from the county prison. A Lifang along Shangchunmen Street is where the county prison is located, so there is no need to worry about anything.

Yan Qing rode a green donkey and walked in the sunlight of late autumn.

It was a bit bleak, but the sun was warm and it was very comfortable to shine on it. The county government is located north of Luoshui. Yan Qing had to go to Datong City and had to pass through Luoshui for a long time. This is also the reason why he was unwilling to let Mao Xiaonian follow him.

On such a long road, he was riding a donkey, was Mao Xiaonian walking?

Passing through Tianjin Bridge outside Duanmen, Zheng Yanqing glanced at the sign under the Tianjin Bridge. Many people still stopped in front of the sign, and from time to time they could hear someone in the crowd reciting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms he wrote.

Yan Qing smiled and urged Xiaoqing to leave.

How could he not know about the outside world's evaluation of his Romance of the Three Kingdoms? He also knew that many people said that he had lost all his talents and even threw dirty water on him... Haha, this is exactly what he hoped. It is better to do less things like a thief in the literary world. After three years of hard study, he has mastered some skills in poetry and songs, but it does not mean that he can do the poems that have been passed down through the ages as before. It is better not to do such things unless it is absolutely necessary.

On the one hand, I am embarrassed, but on the other hand, it is because of one thing.

In the second year of Daye, at this time last year, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang appointed Xue Daoheng as secretary-general, which attracted Zheng Yanqing's attention. Xue Daoheng was a member of the Xue clan in Fenyin, Hedong and a great man. During the Kaihuang period, he was impeached and formed a clan and was sent to Lingnan by Emperor Wen of Sui. At that time, Yang Guang was still in charge of Jiangdu and had always admired Xue Daoheng's talent. So he secretly sent people to Chang'an and asked Xue Daoheng to go to Yangzhou. At that time, he could keep Xue Daoheng and report to him and let Xue Daoheng be his aide, so he would no longer have to go to Lingnan.

Speaking of which, Yang Guang was also kind-hearted and cherished Xue Daoheng's talent.

But Xue Daoheng didn't know which stubborn problem happened, but at the critical moment, the scholar came angry. He was about to arrive in Jiangdu, but suddenly changed his way to Jiangling, walked around Jiangdu and went south, slapped Yang Guang hard.

This incident made Yang Guang hold a grudge.

However, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he became famous for his outstanding talent and still used him again.

However, when Xue Daoheng arrived in Chang'an, he presented an article titled "Ode to Emperor Gaozu Wen". After reading it, Yang Guang was angry and angry. He once said to his minister Su Wei privately: "Daoheng was so beautiful that he had the first dynasty, which is the meaning of "Yu Ya".

Fish and algae are an article in the Book of Songs.

According to the preface of the poem, this poem ridicules King You of Zhou by praising King Wu of Zhou.

What a conceited temperament of Yang Guang, how could he accept such humiliation? Regardless of whether Xue Daoheng was really mocking him, as long as this thorn arises in Yang Guang's heart, Xue Daoheng... In fact, Xue Daoheng was indeed killed by Yang Guang later. As for the reason, it was that he was arguing about the government affairs. If Xue Daoheng was also a minister in the court, how could he not discuss the government affairs? Anyway, the emperor said that you were guilty, and if you were not guilty, you would become guilty.

Zheng Yanqing vaguely remembers that there was a record in history books: After Xue Daoheng's death, Yang Guang once said: Can you still write the poem "Empty beams fall in swallows"?

Don’t let Yang Guang stare at him, and finally say: Can you still be a 'Shi Gan burning unjust marquis to death'?

Therefore, under such circumstances, Yan Qing introduced the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. On the one hand, it can keep people paying attention to him, and on the other hand, it can also have the effect of slandering his name. Why don’t he do this kind of killing two birds with one stone?
