Chapter 24 Is so Interesting
"All people in the world are suffering!"
On the way to the Daguanling government office, Yun Chu saw a shop selling sesame oil and picked out a sign with these four words.
Lao Yangpi was standing under the sign, and the huge sign seemed to be carried on his back, like an old turtle dragging a huge monument.
There were many pedestrians on the street, and one of them even touched Lao Yangpi's black sheepskin coat with his hand.
Even so, Lao Yangpi seemed to have only Yun Chu in his eyes.
Yunchu said to Lao Yangpi: "It's not that hard. You need to earn your own happiness with your own hands. Only those who can't earn it will feel pain.
I have never complained about life in the Huihe tribe, and similarly, I will not complain about life among the Tang people.
In my past life, I realized a truth, that is, live well and try not to let other trivial matters affect my life.
Mr. Shi, you should also think like this, live your few days as well as possible, so that you can smile before you die."
"Yunchu, take me to Chang'an."
Lao Yangpi didn't believe a word of what Yunchu said, just like Yunchu didn't believe every word he said.
Yun Chu took out a business permit from his bosom, and gently placed it in Lao Yangpi's hand and said, "Go by yourself. I know you are unwilling to give up. Four years ago, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally presided over the ceremony for Master Xuanzang to enter the Da Ci'en Temple.
From the documents, I learned that the temple built by the current Tian Khan has rainbow beams and caissons, colorful clouds, jade foundations and copper steps, and golden rings and decorations. It is extremely gorgeous. You can go and see it.
I think that with Master Xuanzang's compassion, he will definitely take you in, protect you, and ensure that you live the life you want in the country of the Tang Dynasty."
Lao Yangpi shook his head gently and said, "I have been waiting here for six years, just waiting for you to go back together."
Yun Chu's pupils couldn't help shrinking, and he immediately calmed down and smiled: "Why me?"
Old Sheepskin looked up at the sky, as if he was lost in memories. After a while, he retracted his gaze from the exiled sky and looked at Yun Chu seriously and said: "When Xuanzang and I crossed the vast sea, we encountered a lonely mountain. When we climbed to the top of the mountain to rest, a stone that Xuanzang was leaning on cracked, and a monk was sitting cross-legged inside.
After opening his eyes, the monk asked Xuanzang: Which Buddha's prosperous era is it now?
Xuanzang said: It is Amitabha.
The monk asked again: Where is Dipankara Buddha?
Xuanzang said: "Naturally it is Nirvana, naturally it returns to nothingness.
The monk said again: "I slept for 16000 years, and thought the world had returned to peace, but I didn't expect it to be so noisy. Go and rest, go and rest, it's better to sleep.
Just when the monk was about to enter nirvana again, he opened his eyes again, looked at Qiuci not far away and said: Interesting, interesting, very interesting.
After that, he sank into the ground."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "You said I am the interesting one?"
Old Sheepskin frowned and said: "I can't be sure. Xuanzang left and asked me to stay because he wanted to see what the interesting thing was.
Five years ago, after I saw you in the Aries Department, I found that you were the most interesting person and thing I found.
So, when I go to Datang, you should go with me. I haven't practiced Buddhism well, but Xuanzang has practiced it very well. Let him see if you are the interesting one that the monk said."
As Old Sheepskin said this, he raised his hand and tore up the business records that Yun Chu had placed in his hand. With a gentle blow, the pieces of paper fell to the ground like butterflies.
Yun Chu looked at Lao Yangpi's back and said, "I won't change my plan, not because of anyone!"
Lao Yangpi stood in the crowd and looked back at Yun Chu and said, "Why bother!"
As Lao Yangpi disappeared into the crowd, Yun Chu couldn't help but shiver. When he looked up again, he could really feel the scorching sun above his head and the noisy crowd around him.
"Don't be scared by what he said. No one can know my origins..."
Yun Chu muttered to himself and walked into the office of Daguanling.
According to habit, he passed Fang Zheng who was sleeping soundly and sat down next to the low table in the corner. He opened the document he was going to read, put aside all distractions, and read it seriously.
When Fang Zheng woke up, the reed mat was already stained with his sweat. He picked up the water jar and drank it all in one gulp. He looked back at Yun Chu who was sitting quietly in the corner reading documents and said, "Besides reading documents and writing letters, don't you have anything else to do?
Young people should act like young people.
It's also a good idea to go to the field to watch those naked Hu girls dancing. Some of them don't smell that strong.
You lock yourself up in the government office every day like this. You don't look like a young man at all."
Yun Chu said lazily, "I'll treat you guys to dinner."
"You are the least young person I've ever seen."
Fang Zheng didn't intend to miss the opportunity to educate Yun Chu.
Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "Do I really not look like a young man?"
Fang Zheng laughed and said, "When I was your age, I never had a moment of rest. I rode horses, fought cocks, hunted, fought, beat up masters, bullied little girls, and was either on the way to be beaten or being beaten all day long."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I don't like being beaten. It's better this way."
Fang Zheng put down the water jar and said, "I have a brother-in-law."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "It's really amazing that my brother-in-law is everywhere."
"He thinks what you said is very reasonable."
"What I said makes sense. You should say it first. It's what I said."
"Renovate Kucha City and then impose heavy taxes."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I never said this, and I have no intention of rebuilding Kucha City.
If we repair the city walls and gates and then impose heavy taxes, we will cause trouble for ourselves. At that time, you will no longer have time to sleep in, and I will have no time to be idle. "
Fang Zheng sighed and said, "If we don't build city walls, gates, or collect taxes, our good days are basically over."
Yunchu remembered what Lao Yangpi said before leaving, and his heart suddenly sank, he looked up at Fang Zheng and said, "What happened?"
Fang Zheng sighed and said: "The leader of the Western Turks, Ashina Helu, established himself as Shabolu Khan.
In March, Sabolo Khan invaded Tingzhou, went to Jinling City and Pulei County, and killed 727 Tang soldiers, civilians and merchants! "
Yun Chu stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the document to me for a look."
Fang Zheng took out a crumpled document from his sleeve, and Yun Chu took it and read it while asking: "What is the court's attitude towards this matter? After all, the matter happened in March, plus the early research and judgment time, The court should have some countermeasures at this time, right?"
Fang Zheng snorted coldly and said: "It's okay to say that there were no casualties among the Tang people. There were more than 700 dead. Although most of them were merchants, most of these merchants were the domestic slaves of our nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, this matter has reached the end of the world, and Ashina Helu has no other way out except using his own head to apologize. "
Yun Chu studied every word on it carefully and kept saying: "Tingzhou is fifteen hundred miles away from Qiuci. In other words, if they are planning to cause trouble for us, they should be here soon."
Fang Zheng laughed evilly and said, "I'm afraid he won't come. He's coming soon, and so is our Tang Dynasty's murderer king. Let's see who can kill more people this time."
Yun Chu raised his head and said, "How do you say that?"
Fang Zheng took out another document from his sleeve and said: "When the news reached the capital, His Majesty was furious, and sent General Liang Jianfang, General of the Warring States Army, Qibi Heli, the General of the Right Xiaowei, as the general manager of Gongyue Road, Gao Deyi, the General of the Youxiaowei, and General Xue Gu and Wu Ren, the general of Youwu Marquis, were appointed as deputy, and sent 30,000 soldiers from Qin, Cheng, Qi, and Yong Prefectures and 50,000 Huihe cavalry to attack them...
Liang Jianfang is here. This time, if a large number of the barbarians in the Western Regions are not killed, they will not be able to live up to the reputation of Wuhou Liang Jianfang as the God of Killing.
This old guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he followed Emperor Taizong to conquer Goguryeo, he was responsible for guarding the left wing of the army. He spent two full years killing almost all the Heishui Mohe barbarians.
This time, he's here... Hehe, those barbarians are living a good life, they really like to seek death. "
Yun Chu continued to read the documents, flipping through the two documents several times, and finally asked: "Where is Marquis Wu?"
"Sandbar!"
"That's not right. It makes no sense that we didn't know anything about what happened in March, but Chang'an knew about it in advance, and even prepared the army. The most outrageous thing is that the general who led the army has already entered the Western Region."
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at Yun Chu and said, "What do you think you are doing? That bastard named Ashina Helu killed more than 700 of our military, civilian and business people. He deserves to die that he will not survive this year, and the whole clan will not survive this year."
What we have to do is to repair the city of Kucha as soon as possible. The Ninth Regiment of Zhechong Prefecture is unwilling to station in Kucha because of Guo Xiaoke's tragic situation. When Wuhou and his old man come, they will definitely station in Kucha. We must hurry up before Wuhou Before coming here, repair the walls of Kucha City and install the city gates as soon as possible. If it weren't for the lack of water here, we might have to dig a moat. "
"Why can you still fall asleep if your butt is on fire?"
Fang Zheng laughed and said: "There are only eleven people in our Daguanling Yamen. Do we rely on us to build the city walls and gates?
Don't worry, my brother-in-law will bring someone here tomorrow. "
"Which brother-in-law?"
"Captain Cao Pei Dongfeng of the Protectorate."
Hearing what Fang Zheng said, Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief. After filing the two documents, he leaned far away from the charcoal-heated Fang Zheng at the door and said, "This means that these barbarians in the city will be used as laborers. ?”
Fang Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, people work as laborers to build the city and build the city gates. The livestock and grain they bring will be confiscated on the spot and used as military rations."
Yun Chu smiled and shook his head: "If you do this, the newly prosperous Kucha City will once again become a deserted city."
Fang Zheng took another sip of cold water and said, "Whatever, as long as Marquis Wu is satisfied, it won't be a big deal even if Qiuci is destroyed.
No, Kucha City, our brothers might have to go to Xizhou to work as errands, where the conditions are better. "
