Chapter 53 Taiping Temple
Speaking of Song Lishen’s gossip, Hu Baozong is clear and logical.
"It was almost five or six years ago. At that time, I was still an Army Sima (a county lieutenant and assistant officer). I heard about a strange news in the city: the concubine of the Song family had an affair with a music girl from the female market, and was caught and raped in bed by the music officer...
According to the law, Le Nu was killed in battle, and the Song family's concubine was sent to the army or fined a hundred gold (copper) to pay for the crime. The Song family was happy, and paid the hundred gold gold that day, but after Song Lishen was released, things happened again.
He said in the county government hall that the Le girl was pregnant with his flesh and blood, and he must marry her...
If he said it in private, the Song family could pretend it never happened, beat him up, and keep him for two more years to soften his temper, and the matter would be over.
But if it was said in such a public place, the Song family would never dare to let the music girl die. Unfortunately, the Song family paid a hundred catties of gold to redeem the music girl and remove her from the country...
Money is just a small matter, but this matter caused the Song family to lose face. A few days later, they heard that the concubine was demoted from the main sect, but at least he was left with a way to survive. He was not expelled from the Song family ancestral hall, and he was never heard from again.
After that... I never thought that your Li family would take advantage of you!"
It is indeed cheap, but it is not without its troubles.
After all, he is from the main family, so it is okay to let Song Lishen manage the Song clan for the time being. But after the rebellion is put down, if he really wants to be the clan leader, he must find a way to clear this stain, otherwise the Song family branches and the government will never agree.
.
The four words "well-matched" are not only a tradition, but also an iron law of the Wei Dynasty:
"It is appropriate to distinguish between superiors and inferiors... In today's royal family, masters, princes, princes, uncles, and the families of scholars and people are not allowed to marry workers, skilled craftsmen, and humble surnames. Offenders will be punished... It will always be the rule!"<
/p>
This is the Song family. If it were Li Shixian, let alone paying money to absolve you, 99% of the outcome would be to be hacked to death.
There are actually ways to do this: as long as you can marry a legitimate daughter from a noble family, make her the main wife, and demote the children of Le Nv and Le Nv to concubines, the matter will be covered up.
What Li Chengzhi finds troublesome is, which aristocratic family is willing to marry their legitimate daughter to such a villain?
In the eyes of the powerful family, this is definitely an obstacle.
At the moment, we can only take one step at a time, use it first and then talk about it...
Thinking of this, Li Chengzhi looked at Li Feng again: "Are you sure?"
"Let's ask clearly!" Li Feng said with a look of shame. "On the eve of Yin Guang's massacre of the master's family, Song Lishen had been hidden by the Song family elders and escaped. When we looked for the Song family elders, there was no Song.
The clan members told us to wait, so we missed it..."
It seems that he was really worried about harming the Song family before he stood up. If it was for profit, I am afraid that when the Li family just captured Songzhuang, Song Lishen would show up to pick peaches.
You have some responsibility and can be put to good use!
But while using it, you should also be careful...
"Well, then send someone to keep an eye on it. If anything is found to be inappropriate, report it as soon as possible..." Li Chengzhi explained again.
The purpose of keeping an eye on them is naturally to monitor them, and it is also to reassure Song Lishen and Mrs. Song.
If they really don't ask questions, these people in the Song family will doubt whether Li Chengzhi is plotting against them...
……
It was noon the next day and the sun was shining brightly.
The households of the Li and Song families moved to the foot of Kongtong Mountain like fire. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see two convoys, one to the east and one to the north, like long queues, endless.
Fortunately, more than 90% of households have livestock at home. Even if there are no cows and horses, at least there is a donkey, which can be moved here in a cart, otherwise the move would not be completed in half a month.
Li Song estimated that it would take two days to move the Song family 20 miles away, and more than five days to move the Li family 60 miles away.
But no matter how slow it is, we have to move.
At least the rebels outside Jingzhou City have not paid attention to this place for the time being. If it continues, it will be too late to move the capital by the time the rebels have robbed almost everything around Jingzhou and extended far away.
According to reports from the detectives sent by Li Song, all the villages without Wubao within thirty miles with Jingzhou as the center have been robbed by the rebels.
Even Wubao, which had no time to build an ice wall, grabbed five or six of them.
The thieves chief Liu Hui and Wang Hao claimed to have 200,000 troops. Hu Baozong and Li Song estimated that 200,000 must be a joke, but there should be 70,000 to 80,000 rioters.
There are 80,000 people. If the thief chief is more ruthless and counts as soldiers any man who can hold a hoe, he can gather at least 20,000 soldiers.
Therefore, Li Chengzhi was not in a general hurry, and even considered asking households to move overnight.
But then he thought that many people might freeze to death and get frostbite, so Li Chengzhi decided to do it again.
The monks at the foot of the mountain were not idle either. Li Song asked the two Song village elders to lead them and seize the time to repair the road up the mountain. Those who cut down trees and those who burned the roads burned the roads. More than two thousand monks were in full swing.
Yinze poured a layer of ice on it, and the mountain road that could have been used by two rows of carriages was frozen solid. On the night of Yinze's surrender, Li Song could only barely build a path that could be used by people.
Regardless of how wide the repair is, it must be repaired at least to the original level. Otherwise, if the rebels attack, these nearly ten thousand people will not be able to even climb the mountain, and they may be dumped...
Seeing Li Chengzhi frowning, lost in thought, after a long time, Li Song couldn't help but remind him: "Lang Jun, Master Guo is still waiting for you..."
Li Chengzhi came to his senses and glared at Li Song fiercely.
I'm not in a hurry, why are you anxious?
I’m afraid I’m not in a hurry to see which god your husband worships?
Is it because I am arrogant? Why did I make up a bad excuse and make up a "dream from a fairy"?
Now, everyone in the Li clan, including Li Song, is as good as chicken blood...
After getting angry for a few times, and even threatening him with excuses such as "beheading" and "expelling him to Jingzhou", he managed to suppress it.
But Li Chengzhi is probably of no use.
When the households are properly settled and the soldiers are reorganized, he will start to forge armor. When the time comes, a series of methods that are not of this era are revealed. Isn't this a collective climax for all of them?
Li Chengzhi wondered whether one day he would be wrapped up in a yellow robe by these tribesmen?
What a mess...
He glared at Li Song fiercely, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards Zhongtai Peak.
……
"Historical Records": In the 27th year, the First Emperor visited Longxi and came out of Jitou Mountain. He saw the Kongtong family living here in a cave, so he named Jitou Mountain Kongtong Mountain.
The so-called Jitou Mountain refers to the three dangerous peaks that resemble cock combs, also known as Santai Peak.
Among them, Tianshi Dao occupies the middle peak, Zhaoxuan Temple occupies the south peak, and only the north peak is empty.
It was Beifeng's idea that Li Chengzhi had at that time.
He also thought that if there was a chance to get close to Tianshi Dao, it would be better to move to Zhongfeng.
Because it’s big!
As if it were cut with a knife, the mountain is extremely steep, but the top of the mountain is as flat as the ground.
On the top of the Taiping Temple there are seven main halls, dozens of mansions, countless squatters, and an area of more than 100 acres. During the peak period of Tianshi Taoism, nearly 3,000 Taoist households lived here.
But now the total number of Taoist priests and Taoists is less than a hundred.
In comparison, Nanfeng, which is less than one-third the size of Zhongtai Peak, is much inferior.
Since the death of Emperor Wu of Wei, Tianshi Dao has gradually declined. It has been more than fifty years. The monks of Zhaoxuan Temple have also been jealous of them for more than fifty years, but at most they just think about it in their hearts. Without that class of Wei Na
Dare to take advantage of Zhongfeng.
Just because an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how bad it is, Tianshi Tao is still the true state religion of the Wei Dynasty. Every emperor who ascends the throne must go to the Tianshi Taoist altar to consecrate the urn, to show that the throne is "Yingtian"
