Eight hundred and ninetieth eight chapters dilute the knot
Although the Lantern Festival is approaching the end of the first month, snow still rises. As the snowflakes like willow leaves float, the white coat gradually wraps up the entire Chang'an City.
It is said that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. The snow in spring is a good omen for the farming people, because the snow that is about to begin spring falls into the fields and gradually melts, which will add moisture to the land. In this way, after spring, they do not have to push a water truck to water and farm when they farm.
The snow did not stop the citizens of the 108fang in Chang'an City from living. In the early morning, after the door opened, there were endless hawkers pushing carts out to make sounds, and some shops on the main roads began to open one after another, full of vitality. Now the Dahua court encouraged business and restored the economy, so the number of business personnel began to increase.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are deeply rooted traditional concepts. The status of merchants has always been low. However, during the social interaction between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, merchants' family business increased, and they could form a large gentry family, relying on family families, buying land and renting, buying family businesses, running private schools, building roads and bridges to increase their reputation, etc., and often began to have a considerable influence.
Although the imperial examination was held in the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination was just the beginning, and there were too few quotas for the imperial court and even the world, it had no substantial significance. Scholars were not as easy as those who passed the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, and promotion, so the public's study was not formed, and the derogation of merchants was not so serious.
The entire Chang'an City flourished under the morning light and presented a prosperous scene.
After Luo Zhaoyun got up, he accompanied Dou Hongxin to have breakfast. After the sobering and fusion of the boudoir last night, Dou Hongxin could no longer hate the enemy in front of him, and it was more of an indescribable feeling.
Her body, which she had treasured for nearly twenty years, disappeared in a daze and was slept for two nights. She didn't even tell her identity and name. The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged.
During breakfast, Dou Hongxin tried his best to ask Luo Zhaoyun how he viewed those grassroots heroes and the leaders of the rebel army from all over the country!
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said, "In the chaotic times, heroes emerge in many ways. This is an era of heroes created by the times. Therefore, the heroes of the grassroots rise up and fight against the corrupt court. This is the will of the people and the situation is also the cause. However, there are too few real heroes, many treacherous heroes, bandits, and people who deceive the world and have many leaders who hold the banner of the rebel army, do whatever they want, burn, kill and rob, and are like robbers. They can only be considered as green forests and cannot be considered heroes!"
"The rebel army has a word of righteousness, which affirms that benevolence and righteousness should be the first, and takes it as its mission to save the suffering of the people, appease the people, and defend the people there. Only then can it be called a rebel army; Liu Wuzhou, Li Mi, Wang Shichong and others consider their own interests, conquer cities and territory, expand their territory, and in their ruling areas, there is no new laws and policies, which can appease the people and enable them to truly improve their lives, not be affected by war, starve to death and freeze to death."
Dou Hongxin nodded slightly. Although she didn't learn much, she didn't read much about the articles of the Analects of Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi, and the books of sages, but she was kind-hearted and understood the great principles and could understand the meaning of his words.
"Then do you think... Dou Jiande of Xia Kingdom is considered a hero?" Dou Hongxing said it calmly, but in fact he was nervous inside.
Luo Zhaoyun pondered, glanced at her, nodded and said, "For sure, Dou Jiande was born in a commoner, but he was brave and resourceful. Even after he became a king, he heard that he never deviated from his original intention. He was still wearing ordinary cloth clothes and had farmed himself. He did not have as extravagant as other leaders of the rebel army, and was very happy with merits and forgot his original intention and duty. Therefore, I still have a good impression of King Xia Dou Jiande and always hoped to be surrendered and used by Dahua."
In fact, Luo Zhaoyun had already begun to doubt her identity, so he praised Dou Jiande a little. As the saying goes, he doesn't love monks and looks at Buddha faces, so he has to give some face. After all, he has slept with his daughter. If his father-in-law is cheap, he can't criticize the elders of the deceased behind his back.
After hearing this, Dou Hongxing's body trembled slightly, and he felt a little comforted. At least, Dou Hongxing was still happy that he could respect his father in such a way. She didn't want to hear this man who had a husband-wife relationship with her, and scolded her father for his faults and bad words behind her back.
Because fatherly love is like a mountain, many daughters regard their father as heroes and backers in their minds. Especially Dou Jiande has excellent martial arts skills, gallops on the battlefield and becomes kings, and naturally has a certain degree of self-expression and has revealed some kingly styles.
"But why, then, in the end, did not surrender, but wanted to be executed on the battlefield?" Speaking of this, Dou Hongxian still couldn't let go.
Luo Zhaoyun sighed and said, "It's not what I want!"
"Didn't you personally issue an order to kill him?"
Although Luo Zhaoyun did order to kill Dou Jiande to avoid future troubles, he could not say it directly at this time. It is not good for the harmony between the couple. He shook his head and said, "It is not so. At that time, the two countries had to fight with victory and unification as the premise, so the two sides were inevitable. Originally, the soldiers were their own masters and swearing to kill the enemy to death, but the battlefield was too chaotic at that time. Dou Jiande could have broken through the siege, or captured and surrendered, but he could not let go of some trapped generals, led their troops back, and broke into the siege to save people, so he was shot and injured by the chaos army. The soldiers were eager to make contributions, so they naturally rushed forward and wanted to capture and kill the enemy's head. This resulted in such a regretful result. Otherwise, if General Dou was captured at that time or threw himself into the city in front of the formation, he would definitely be exempted from this disaster and would not be in a different place."
There are some unscrupulous words here, but they are not harmful, because those are all hypotheses. Dou Jiande died in the chaos army, and there is no hypothesis. Therefore, Luo Zhaoyun could express his regret and expressed an attitude towards Dou Hongxin, that is, if he was not killed in the chaos army, but was captured in a mistake, he would definitely be exempted from the death penalty and be appointed as an official by Dahua.
In this way, Dou Hongxin's resentment was relieved, and Luo Zhaoyun had removed some of his subjective responsibilities and became the soldiers who were eager to make contributions and rushed to kill the enemy. When the two countries confronted each other, no one could farewell to each other.
"That's it..." Dou Hongxin's hatred sharply decreased, and he let go of his knot, feeling that his body was much more relaxed. He didn't have to blind his eyes for revenge, making himself so tired.
Sometimes, it is just an excuse or an explanation to make oneself believe, and then change one's thinking, and the perspective of looking at things is completely different.
