After dinner that day, Qin Qiaoyun dragged her brother and sister to play a few games of "checkers".
This checker is naturally invented by Xiao Feng, which is also known as "checkers" in later generations.
In addition to the checkers, Xiao Feng also came up with some other novelties for fun, such as "Luoyang Monopoly" and "horse racing chess". In fact, they are the Monopoly and flying chess in later generations. Tang version.
The main reason why Xiao Feng came up with these novel gadgets was that there were too few entertainment activities in the Tang Dynasty and they were usually too boring.
As soon as these novel gadgets came out, the two sisters were attracted, especially Qin Qiaoyun, who liked to be around Xiao Feng, and now she had a good excuse.
So, Xiao Feng and the two sisters started fighting in the room.
Qin Qiaoyun is very courageous and dares to say anything. Her greasy and coquettish voice always sounds in the room.
"Oh, brother, you are so evil. Qiaoyun hates you. You are blocking my way."
"Sister, you are unfair. You are secretly helping my brother Buzi. You are two against one. Protest, protest!"
Of course, Xiao Feng¡¯s cheerful voice is also heard all the time.
What is the joy of life?
There may be many, but for men, after working hard outside every day, it must be an extremely interesting pleasure to have such a cute and charming sister at home.
This is the case with Xiao Feng. He has been busy with the Tang Ren organization in the past few days. He has no time during the day, so he can only truly relax when he goes home at night and is accompanied by these two sisters.
However, fortunately, after six or seven days of hard work, the daily work of Tang Ren's organization has basically been carried out in an orderly manner. In a day or two, in addition to doing ideological and political education every morning, Xiao Feng will do it in the afternoon. It's no big deal. Once the training is on track, the people in charge at all levels of the Tang Ren organization will continue the training work.
At this moment, a servant came in and reported: "Alang, we have a visitor. It's the Murong family who came a few days ago."
After hearing this, Xiao Feng frowned slightly.
He then remembered that a few days ago, Murong Shuiyue told him through Xiao Liu'er that he was invited to be a guest at Yunyue Tower and that he also guided her in writing poems. However, Xiao Feng knew his true level in poetry. So he didn't plan to visit her at the moment, but unexpectedly, Murong Shuiyue actually came to his home after dinner.
Now there is less than an hour before the curfew, what does Murong Shuiyue want to do?
After hearing the arrival of Murong Shuiyue, the two sisters next to them also showed very different expressions. Qin Qiaoyun was naturally more disappointed. She finally played with her brother for a while, but was interrupted by other women. However, Qin Qiaolian smiled slightly and pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Lang Jun, everyone from Murong came here twice and asked Zhang Liu to leave a message for you. You must have not gone to her residence, so she felt anxious. , so she came to the door, you'd better go and see her first."
Qin Qiaolian is deliberately showing her "generosity".
What else can Xiao Feng do?
Although I know that my "pseudo master"'s poetry ability cannot guide the real "master" at all, but since the other party has come to the door, I can't escape anymore. If it doesn't work, then I can just muddle through.
So, he smiled and nodded to Qin Qiaolian: "Okay, I'll come as soon as I can."
When Xiao Feng left the inner courtyard and came to the living room of the outer courtyard, Murong Shuiyue was sitting quietly on the high chair.
After seeing Xiao Feng enter the living room, Murong Shuiyue stood up with a smile and bowed slightly: "Master Xiao, you are really a noble person. It is very difficult for the slave family to meet you."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ??Xiao Feng also cupped his hands: "Murong, everyone has been a little busy these days, I'm really sorry."
After being polite, the two of them sat down separately, and Xiao Feng asked with a smile: "Murong, I wonder why you came here today?"
After hearing Xiao Feng¡¯s words, Murong Shuiyue couldn¡¯t help feeling bitter.
¡°Hmph, this guy is obviously using the hard-to-get method to wait for me to come to my door, but he is still so hypocritical and polite. Does he really think that I, Murong Shuiyue, am that thirteen or fourteen-year-old young lady?
If it wasn¡¯t for my brother, how could I have fallen into your trap? Even if you beat me to death, I won't come looking for you.
Although I have so much hatred in my heartThinking about it, Murong Shuiyue still had a smile on her face: "Master Xiao, my family came here a few days ago and I have some poetry problems that I need to ask Master Xiao for advice. But when I came here today, I had other things to do. .¡±
After hearing what Murong Shuiyue said, Xiao Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was not about poetry, it seemed that he did not need to make a fool of himself today, so he smiled and asked again: "Murong everyone, if you have something to do, just say it openly. "
At this time, Murong Shuiyue glanced slightly to the side again, and Xiao Feng understood clearly in his heart, and said to the two maids who were accompanying him: "You go down first, there is no need for you to serve here."
When only Murong Shuiyue and Xiao Feng were left in the room, Murong Shuiyue slowly stood up and came to Xiao Feng. Under Xiao Feng's surprised eyes, he knelt down gently.
Murong Shuiyue¡¯s behavior shocked Xiao Feng. He quickly stood up and supported Murong Shuiyue: ¡°Murong everyone, why are you doing this? Please get up quickly.¡±
When Xiao Feng helped Murong Shuiyue up, he naturally grabbed Murong Shuiyue's little hand. Murong Shuiyue frowned slightly and wanted to take back his little hand, but secretly sighed in his heart and finally gave up "resistance" ", letting Xiao Feng squeeze her little hand.
It¡¯s just that the grievance she felt in her heart was really hard to add to.
This time, it seems that we are really going to let this hateful guy succeed
Fortunately, Xiao Feng only helped her up and did not continue to hold her little hand.
With the support of Xiao Feng, Murong Shuiyue stood up, and then said softly: "Master Xiao, the slave family came here this time just because the life of the slave family's younger brother is at stake, and I came to ask for the help of the Xiao family."
Murong Shuiyue said it so sadly and euphemistically, which made Xiao Feng frown even deeper and asked: "Everyone Murong, if you have something to do, just say it clearly. Wherever I, Xiao, can contribute, I will naturally do so without hesitation."
"It is undeniable that after meeting Murong Shuiyue in Li Hui's house that day, Xiao Feng did have a good impression of these singing and dancing people. Besides, if he could lend a helping hand and save someone's life, that would be a good thing.
Therefore, Murong Shuiyue slowly explained the matter of her brother being imprisoned.
Since Murong Shuiyue begged Xiao Feng to save her brother, she naturally did not dare to hide it at all. Moreover, Murong Changfeng's identity would definitely be known to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple in Luoyang, so she could not help but cover it up a little, so she could only He said that his brother was a member of the Saintess Cult. In order to avenge the members of the Saintess Cult, he impulsively killed Gaoli Fanzi and his Japanese dog. He was captured by the Tang army and imprisoned in Luoyang.
"Saintess Cult?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but frown deeply after hearing this.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Feng stared at Murong Shuiyue with piercing eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Murong, everyone, I just want to ask you about your brother's status in the Saintess Cult, and whether you are related to the Saint. Female teachers are also involved, I hope you can tell the truth."
After hesitating for a while, Murong Shuiyue finally did not dare to deceive Xiao Feng on this matter, so she nodded lightly: "To be honest with everyone Xiao, the relationship between the slave family and the saint Lu Feiyan is extremely close, and they usually treat each other as sisters. , my brother¡¯s brother is one of the leaders in the religion.¡±
"Oh" Xiao Feng nodded thoughtfully.
"Xiao family, the Nu family was originally the descendant of Murong Murong in Zhuo County. Now that the Nu family is in the Nu family line, the only one left in the family is my brother. If the Nu family's brother dies, the Nu family line will be cut off from now on. The Nu family also knows in their hearts. , it must be extremely difficult to do this, but if the Xiao family can help, the slave family will not dare to forget this life-saving grace. Even if the slave family becomes a slave or maid in the future, they must repay the Xiao family for their life-saving grace. .¡±
"Descendant of Murong?" Xiao Feng felt a little confused.
It turns out that Murong Shuiyue is from various families in Shandong, so no wonder she has something to do with the Saintess Cult.
Through his understanding of history during this period, Xiao Feng already knew that during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, several dynasties such as the Former Yan, Southern Yan, and Later Yan were established in the north, all of which were founded by the Murong surname. In fact, this Murong should be considered one of the Hu surnames.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty promoted the Sinicization of the Hu surname, and all Hu surnames were eventually Sinicized. However, in the late Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, these Hu surnames were gradually restored, and the Murong family was the restored Hu surname. One is the general name for the "Murong clan" in Shandong.
However, compared to other noble families with five surnames and seven hopes, the Murong family is actually an extremely weak family, so it is not well known. Maybe it will not have this name in the history of later generations.
As for this "Saintess Sect", Xiao Feng has been extremely interested in this sect since he first came to Luoyang and heard the name. In the end, Xiao Feng learned from Li Jing's words.?, I learned the detailed origins of the Saintess Cult, as well as the relationship between the Saintess Cult and the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes".
The so-called "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" here are the five largest noble families today, including the five surnames such as "Cui Wang Lu Zheng Li", but the Li surname is divided into the Longxi Li family and the Zhaojun Li family. The Cui family It is also divided into the Boling Cui family and the Qinghe Cui family.
Among the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes", only the Li family of Longxi, located in Guanzhong, is the current lineage of the Li Tang Dynasty, including Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong, Li Jing, and the deceased Li Mi and others. They are from the Li family in Longxi, and other noble families are generally called "Shandong noble families" because they are located in Shandong.
There are some differences between the "land of Shandong" mentioned here and the "Shandong" of later generations.
The term "Shandong" actually originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties after the Warring States Period. At that time, Shandong generally referred to the area east of Mount Wei or Mount Huashan. By the Sui Dynasty, Shandong referred to the Yellow River Basin east of the Taihang Mountains, including Shandong in later generations. Hebei and parts of Henan.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, due to the serious conflict between the Guanlong Group and the Shandong gentry group, Yang Guang, who was from the Yang family of Guanlong, suppressed Shandong families extremely severely, which eventually led to riots in Shandong. Most of the riots were related to the Shandong gentry group. The support of the group is inseparable, and the riots originating from Shandong can be said to be the beginning of the entire turmoil in the late Sui Dynasty.
If it weren't for the rise of powerful forces in Shandong and the Sui Dynasty's army struggling to suppress these uprisings, then there would not have been the opportunity for Li Yuan to raise troops in Jinyang, conquer Chang'an, and establish the Tang Dynasty, nor would the Sui Shizu have fled to Jiangdu to escape the riots. Eventually it led to Yu Wenhua and the rebellion and emperor killing, which directly led to the collapse of the Sui Dynasty.
It can be said that the Sui Dynasty was ruined by the turmoil caused by various families in Shandong.
Only people like Xiao Feng, who live in this turbulent era, can have a deep understanding of the true strength of these "rich noble families". These cannot be learned from the history books of later generations.
In fact, after the history of later generations has been tampered with by the current dynasty, how much of it will be true?
Just like the riots started by various families in Shandong, was the purpose of the riots just to ruin the Sui Dynasty?
Of course it is not that simple. The purpose of the Shandong families is very simple, that is to establish a new political power.
However, during the riots in the late Sui Dynasty, various families in Shandong also discovered one thing, that is, it was impossible for them to seize the political power and rely on their own efforts.
At that time, Li Yuan of the Longxi Li family established the Tang Dynasty in Taiyuan, and Li Mi, another giant of the Longxi Li family, also established a powerful force, attracting heroes from all walks of life to defect to him.
So the Shandong families who were originally fighting each other decided that they needed to unite and nominate one person to compete with Li Yuan and Li Mi for power. That person was Dou Jiande.
In addition, some Shandong nobles turned to support Wang Shichong. At that time, Wang Shichong basically controlled the small court in Luoyang in the late Sui Dynasty.
After determining this goal, the powerful forces in Shandong gathered under Dou Jiande's influence, and the Daxia regime took shape.
Especially after Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, the power of the Shandong families could be said to have reached its peak. At that time, the three major forces in the world faced off, Li Yuan's Tang Dynasty, Wang Shichong's Dazheng, Dou Jiande's Daxia, and the Guandong families supported The power accounted for two.
It¡¯s a pity that all the families in Shandong are trusting others! The Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong they entrusted were not worthy of their entrustment.
Of course, according to normal history, this mystery cannot be seen, because Dou Jiande, who was supported by the Shandong families, was defeated by Li Shimin, the immortal genius of the Li family in Longxi, when he later supported Luoyang controlled by Wang Shichong. In the end, the Guandong families Because at the same time they lost Luoyang controlled by Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande who they supported, they sadly withdrew from the stage of fighting for the world.
Since then, the entire world has been controlled by the Li family of the Guanlong Group, until Wu Zetian came to power and established the Great Zhou regime.
However, that was just normal history. In this changed history, Dou Jiande was not defeated by Li Shimin. On the contrary, the Great Xia Dynasty he established became Xia Emperor Dou Jiande.
At this time, the inhumanity of the Shandong families can be seen.
Because Dou Jiande came from a rough background, what was hidden deep in his heart was hostility and hatred for the powerful gentry forces. Moreover, after the establishment of the Daxia regime, various Shandong families wanted to interfere in the Daxia regime and strive for greater interests. This led Dou Jiande to finally break with the Shandong gentry group and turn to suppress the Shandong gentry group in an all-round way.
The mystery of this is definitely beyond the description of ordinary words.
And this "saint""" is another method established with the support of various families in Shandong to compete for world hegemony.
"There are many reasons for the fall of the Sui Dynasty, but the three conquests of Goryeo, which aroused public resentment, are the primary reason.
At that time, everyone in the world hated the "Conquest of Goryeo", and the Goryeo Dynasty also hated it. At the beginning, in order to build momentum, the Guandong families created this Saintess Cult specifically for the Goryeo Dynasty. , to compete for the support of public opinion, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the worse after that, and various families in Shandong were suppressed by Dou Jiande, a generation of tycoons, until they were on the verge of death.
However, in any case, the Saintess Cult under the leadership of the saint Lu Feiyan has been targeting the Goryeo Dynasty from the early days of its establishment. Therefore, even after losing the support of various families in Shandong, the Saintess Cult is still in power. Engaged in activities to resist the Goryeo Dynasty, it gradually evolved into a mysterious organization that fought against Goryeo merchants.
This is the main reason for the formation of the current turbulent history, as well as the relationship between the Saintess Cult and various families in Shandong.
In normal history, the emergence of the Saintess Cult is almost impossible. Even if it does appear, it will eventually disappear as the Shandong families lose their ability to compete for the world and disappear in the long river of history. middle.
Of course, Xiao Feng is very interested in organizations like the Holy Girl Cult that resist the Goryeo Dynasty.
In Xiao Feng¡¯s eyes, all the power that can be used to fight against the Goryeo Dynasty is the power that he wants to support and control.
