I have a backstage in Datang

The line in front was very long, and countless Goguryeo people were queuing up. Because the weather was too hot, the Goguryeo people who lined up were sweating profusely. Gradually, some people began to express their dissatisfaction, and the whole line became more and more noisy.

Finally, a Goguryeo man slammed the wooden bowl and yelled, "Why don't you build a shed? Why do you make us suffer?"

An Yanbing was startled, and subconsciously wanted to run out to stop her, but it was too late.

I saw that Goguryeo man began to stir up the surroundings, kept saying provocative words in his mouth, and yelled loudly: "You Han people once issued a notice saying that you must treat us Goguryeo people well. If you want to treat us well, you should treat them well. As a result, we all suffer.”

"The so-called porridge is only given six bowls a day."

"Six bowls of rice, who is enough? It's fine if you don't have enough to eat, but you actually want us to line up under the scorching sun..."

"Han people, you don't want to treat us kindly at all."

Since ancient times, no matter what race, there seems to be a habit of thinking, that is, the law does not blame the public.

So when this man yelled, he quickly aroused the emotions of dozens of Goguryeo people, and these Goguryeo people also yelled and yelled, and the scene gradually became a little out of control.

An Yanbing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

She left the line with the wooden bowl in hand.

Just at this moment, a slight breeze suddenly blows, blowing away some of the heat, making people feel a little refreshed.

However, An Yanbing didn't feel refreshed at all, she squatted on the ground holding the wooden bowl and weeping silently.

She wanted to dissuade those fellow clansmen who made trouble.

But he knew that the scene in front of him could not be persuaded at all.

She could only cry silently, praying in her heart that the Han people would show mercy again.

In the previous six months, the Goguryeo people also often gathered crowds to make troubles. Every time there was a trouble, the Han people chose to endure it.Even with a smiling face, I try my best to meet various demands.

In the words of those Han people, this is because their Lord Gu issued a strict order: Although Goguryeo was defeated, Goguryeo people are not guilty of crimes, so treat them kindly.

The soldiers guarding Goguryeo have always obeyed their lord's orders.

And the Goguryeo people have also been raised with a bad habit, thinking that as long as they gather a crowd to make a fuss, they can achieve their demands... Even if this demand is unreasonable, as long as they make a fuss, they can succeed.

Only An Yanbing knew the truth that the tolerance of the superiors had a limit.

……

She squatted on the ground with the bowl in her hand, weeping silently.

In my heart, there is incomparable sadness and fear.

Yes, she is terrified.

The wiser she is, the more she can see through everything, especially some recent clues made her realize some bad beginnings.

She vaguely felt that the good times of the Goguryeo people were coming to an end.

And just when she felt fear in her heart, she really heard the laughter of a Han man. It was a general who was in charge of protecting the porridge, and he had been known for his good temper for half a year.

Whenever the Goguryeo people made troubles, he always tried to persuade them with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the general was still smiling.

Even the words he said made people feel like a spring breeze: "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry, the weather is so hot, but the general forgot to ask someone to build a shed, which caused everyone to bask in the sun and sweat profusely while queuing up. It's been very hard... This mistake must be corrected, and this general will make someone correct it immediately."

The Goguryeo people who made trouble seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and seemed to be very sure that the Han general would admit his mistake.

I saw the general admitting his mistake, while continuing to smile like a spring breeze, and said: "It's too late today, after all, it takes time to build a shed. But the porridge must continue, otherwise the general will not be able to explain to the higher-ups... How about this?" , let’s find a compromise. Since everyone doesn’t want to line up to get porridge under the scorching sun, and the general must distribute the porridge to ensure that no one is hungry. Then please go to the barracks and eat directly in the tent How about it?"

As he spoke, his smile became more gentle, and he said with sincerity: "The tents in the military camp can block the sun and prevent everyone from sweating. And the food should be better, and it is specially provided for soldiers. There is meat in the porridge. , delicious."

Only An Yan was frozen like falling into an ice cave.

Even the words he said made people feel like a spring breeze: "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry, the weather is so hot, but the general forgot to ask someone to build a shed, which caused everyone to bask in the sun and sweat profusely while queuing up.

Chapter 442 [Prisoning four people, Gu Tianya's deep meaning]

The porridge is very fragrant, the amount is very large, and it is very thick, which fully meets the standard of serving porridge without tilting the chopsticks.

Such two big bowls of porridge can satisfy even a strong man.

And An Yanbing is a weak woman, her appetite is obviously not so big, but she is eating desperately...

That kind of desperate eating is like the heroine in the movie "Invincible" in the later generations, eating hard and stuffing it hard. Although the thick porridge does not need to be stuffed like pancakes, people still swallow the porridge when they are full. It's also tough.

"The way you eat makes me unable to understand..."

The general was puzzled, his eyes flickered with exploration, and he said curiously: "There is porridge here every day, and every meal can guarantee two bowls. For half a year, the porridge has been given out rain or shine, which shows the credibility of our Han people." Very well, basically there is no possibility of temporarily stopping porridge, but why, your eating behavior is like this?"

The general paused for a while, hesitated and said: "Your eating looks like you are worried that there will be no next meal. However, we have been giving out porridge every day for half a year."

It's a pity that An Yanbing seemed to turn a deaf ear to his questioning. She had already finished two bowls of porridge with all her might, and at this moment she actually began to carefully lick the bottom of the bowls.

She was really licking carefully, not letting go of any grains, until she licked the wooden bowl clean, and then held the wooden bowl and let out a long breath.

She bowed her knees with difficulty, saluted the general, and finally began to answer questions.

"General, you are right. The reason why I eat like this is because I really know that there will be no next meal."

Her complexion was bleak, and there was desolation in her bleakness, suddenly her eyes became crystal clear, and big teardrops rolled down...

Holding the wooden bowl, she raised her head and murmured, as if raving: "The people of Goguryeo are so good at playing tricks, so they really killed themselves. From today onwards, there will be no more porridge, from today onwards In the beginning, there will be no more benevolent government. Half a year has passed, and the patience of the Han people has reached its limit."

The general's eyes flashed, showing a faint killing intent.

This woman is too smart, she guessed a little too much.

The general reached for his waist and grabbed the handle of his saber.

An Yanbing seemed to have expected it long ago, looked at the general's saber, and sighed, "Are you going to do it?"

The general looked hesitant, holding the handle of the knife without pulling it out, and said: "You are too smart to make this general feel threatened. Normally, you should be killed."

"But you are very obedient, you belong to the kind of obedient people my master said. As for the obedient people, the master said that you can accept..."

"This makes me very entangled, I don't know whether to kill or keep."

The general hesitated again as he spoke, and said again: "If you stay, you are too smart, and you can see through the tricks that the Goguryeo people can't see through, and you can see through the inside story almost instantly. Request, those people are all complacent, only you left the team without thinking..."

"Not only did you leave the team, but you also squatted on the ground with a gentle posture, which made people feel pity."

"So this general knew right away, you already guessed what we were going to do."

The general sighed and said, "Girl, you are so smart. A smart person like you, especially a Goguryeo native, will cause serious trouble if you keep it. This general has to kill him."

He said that he had to kill, but he didn't do it for a long time.

And An Yanbing didn't seem to have the idea of ​​running away, she just kept staring at the general's saber, and asked in a low voice, "In that case, why don't you draw the saber?"

"Because this general is hesitating."

The general spoke bluntly and said solemnly: "It's still the same sentence just now, my master has orders. All Goguryeo people who are willing to be obedient citizens will be the master's subjects in the future. As for the subjects, we should love them."

An Yanbing nodded, and said: "Little girl understands, it was not you who saved my life. It was the master you mentioned, he should be Gu Tianya, Lord Youyun, right? Oh yes, I will not be able to do it again soon." Call him the lord, you should call him the lord, he wants to establish a vassal state."

Clang!

The general finally drew his knife.

Holding the handle of the knife with one hand, he swung it suddenly and heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Go immediately and stay away from my sight, otherwise this general may not be able to bear the killing intent. I really don't want to let a smart person like you go!" .”

With the horizontal knife in his hand, there was a cold light, and with the murderous look on the general's face, it was obvious that he was trying to restrain himself, and maybe he would swing the knife in the next moment.

An Yanbing bowed her knees, saluted with a respectful gesture, and turned around holding the wooden bowl.

However, she had only walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around again, with a miserable expression on her face, and asked in a sad tone: "What crimes will those people be executed for?"

The general's eyes flashed, and he seemed unwilling to answer, but seeing An Yanbing's miserable expression, his heart softened for some reason, and he replied in a deep voice: "A group of mobs broke into the barracks privately with the intention of snatching weapons, just like rebels. No difference."

Another big teardrop fell from An Yanbing's eyes, and she said with a sad face, "It really is the crime."

She curtsied again, turning to leave.

This time, however, the general forbade her to leave.

The general suddenly stepped forward, his burly body directly blocked the way, and said in a cold tone: "You have no right to leave."

An Yan stopped on the ice and said bitterly: "Is it because I asked a secret that I shouldn't ask?"

The general nodded, with a bit of regret on his face, and said: "If you guess it, you guess it, but asking is different. If you guess it and don't ask, then this general can soften your heart for a while. But, you couldn't help asking just now. .”

This is the sad thing about wise men.

Some things have already been guessed, but still can't help but want to ask, because she can't let go of the ethnic group in her heart, so she fantasizes that she guessed wrong.So regardless of the danger of asking, I was eager to get a different answer.

It's a pity that the general's answer is generally the same as what she guessed.

She also lost the qualification to leave because she heard the answer.

……

The general did not kill An Yanbing, but imprisoned her in a small courtyard.

And in this secluded courtyard, she was not the only one imprisoned.

For example, there was an old man with a huge saber beside him. The handle alone had to be more than three feet long. This kind of weapon was obviously used for fighting in battle, and only a super warrior dared to use it.From this, it can be speculated that perhaps this old man was once a warrior on the battlefield.

Obviously the old man was imprisoned, but the strange thing is that the Han people didn't take away his weapons, and even when soldiers came to deliver food, they behaved faintly to respect the old man.

Another example is another prisoner, a middle-aged scholar. His room is full of books, and Han soldiers often send some new books.

Whenever the soldiers sent books, the middle-aged scholar always saluted solemnly, while the Han soldiers would joke a few words, asking him if he had found a way to save Goguryeo from the Han books.

The middle-aged scholar’s ​​answer was very strange, sometimes he said he found it, and sometimes he said he didn’t find it. This kind of answer seemed to be fooling people, but those Han soldiers were not angry, but continued to send him books. The more heaps.

In addition to these two people, there is also a woman imprisoned in the courtyard. Although she is clothed in wooden hairpins, her demeanor is extraordinary, and she gives people a kind of royal nobility.

An Yanbing was the fourth person imprisoned.

……

Although the courtyard is not big, it is not considered harsh to imprison four people, and it is said to be imprisoned in name, but in fact there are no soldiers monitoring them.

Only when it was time for the meal, would soldiers come to deliver the meal, and sometimes the general would come in person, and when he came to deliver the meal, he would basically bring a jug of wine.

The jug of wine was for the old man.

An Yanbing could tell that the general respected that octogenarian very much, that kind of respect transcended ethnic barriers, it was the pure respect that generals have for generals.

Every time the general came to deliver meals, he would jokingly say: there are no soldiers guarding the gate, and there is no restriction on leaving this small courtyard. If you feel humiliated by being imprisoned, you can open the gate and leave.

As a result, the four people in the yard never left.

An Yanbing vaguely realized that the four of them had special reasons for being imprisoned.It is precisely because each has its own special features that it is possible to leave without leaving knowingly.

Like herself, because of wisdom.

She knew that Huanghuang's situation was irreversible, and Goguryeo was destined to become the territory of the Han people. Since the situation was irreversible, she had to find a way to save the same people. Even if she could persuade a Goguryeo person to recognize the reality, she felt that she should persist in living.

She was willing to be imprisoned and stayed in this small courtyard because she had a guess in her heart, and she became more and more sure that she would meet someone.

……

The reason why the octogenarian man with the giant saber was imprisoned was because of his prestige. The reason why An Yanbing guessed this was because of a feeling from the Han general.

At that time, when the general came to deliver wine to the old man, he sighed respectfully and said: "You are still willing to fight for the clan as an old man. My master once said that you are an out-and-out It is a pity that he is a great hero of the Goguryeo people, but for our Han family, he is an enemy..."

……

The middle-aged scholar whose room was full of books, the reason why he was imprisoned should be his knowledge, An Yanbing once heard him sighing faintly at night, it seemed that he was searching hard but couldn't get it.

Under his extreme depression, Suye tossed and turned sleeplessly, and would often scream in the middle of the night, his voice yelling insanely: "Why am I not as good as Gu Tianya? Why can't there be a Gu Tianya in Goguryeo?"

Obviously he is blaming himself, hating that he is not as knowledgeable as Gu Tianya, a Han Chinese. If he has the knowledge of heaven and earth, he can lead the Goguryeo ethnic group to glory.

Every time An Yanbing heard him shouting, she felt sad, and wanted to tell this person a truth: knowledge is very important, but Gu Tianya's rise did not depend on knowledge.If those big figures in Goguryeo used to love the people like their sons, then Goguryeo might not be reduced to the sad state it is today.

……

The imprisoned woman never said a word every day. Except for going out of the house when she was eating, she hid in the house doing needlework for the rest of the time. An Yanbing once sneaked over to peek and found her sewing. It is a brocade robe.

The ancient style is very heavy!
