Late Tang

Chapter 1 This is Datang

Li Jing stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the village road that was not straight in a daze.The autumn wind rolled up the withered grass leaves on the roadside, dancing in a swirl, and even the dust on the dirt road.

The wind blew, and the clothes were gradually stained with dust, bringing a trace of coolness.In autumn, the air is crisp, the clouds are light and the wind is clear, and a few birds flying south are disappearing in the sky, looking for their winter home.In the sky, a few clouds were dyed crimson, falling directly into the eyes, bright and clear.As far as the eye can see, there are high and raised seagrass ridges on the walls of the houses built by mountains and rocks in the village, piled up like stacks, light brown with gray tones, and simple and simple with a deep temperament.

At dusk, the village is full of colorful colors, like a painting of ink, in the twilight, like a dream.

Shaking the layered robe on her body, Li Jing seemed to be trapped in the dancing dust reflected by the golden sunset.

This is a white linen gown with a round collar and straight train, with a leather belt around the waist.Coupled with the Luo Sha Fu on the head and the black leather boots on the feet, this outfit is the standard Tang Dynasty men's clothing.

The crown clothes on his body are Tang clothes, and the place in front of him is also Datang!

This is Wangli Village, Qingning Township, Wendeng County, Dengzhou, Henan, Daozi, Qingpinglu Town!

Up to now, Li Jing still can't believe all this.But he has looked at the bronze mirror at home countless times. Although the bronze mirror is not very clear, it still makes him understand that this body is not his original self.This is a strange body, more than six feet tall, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, red lips and white teeth.The long hair tied up in a bun, the beard protruding slightly under the chin, the strong body, and the vigorous physique showed him the demeanor of a young man who had just been crowned in the Tang Dynasty.

"This is the Tang Dynasty!" Li Jing sighed silently in his heart. Although he has not been in this world for a long time, the memories of the 20 years he received in his mind are unmistakable.

Li Jing was also confused about this miraculous thing at the beginning, but after a night of contemplation, he, who is always open-minded, also understood that although he didn't know how he got here, it was impossible to go back up.

They come, the security.

This is the Tang Dynasty. How many people yearn for a prosperous world. As a Chinese, I can come to such an era. As a student of the Chinese Academy, after the confusion and panic in Li Jing's heart, what is more in his heart is to rise. Aroused excitement and excitement.

But when he sorted out the memory of the original body in his mind, he sighed a little.

He did come to the Tang Dynasty, but it was not the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, that is, it was not the heyday of Zhenguan in the early Tang Dynasty, nor the heyday of Kaiyuan later, nor even the era of Zhongxing of Xianzong, nor the age of Xiaozhenguan of Tang Xuanzong. catch up.

He came to Datang, but only caught the last train from Datang.

This is Datang, the 14th year of Xiantong in Datang.Xiantong, this is the year name of Yizong. Yizong is the temple name of the No.17 emperor Li Wei in the Tang Dynasty except Wu Zetian.Even with the temple name, this Li Wei is naturally dead.In July of this year, Li Wei passed away, and now the incumbent Li Yan has changed his name to Li Xuan, officially becoming the No.18 emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing, who is familiar with Tang history, naturally understands this Li Xuan. He is only 12 years old this year, another emperor supported by eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty.This will also be the third last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not far from the end of the Houliang Dynasty and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

But all of this is too far away from Li Jing, and now he is just an ordinary person in a small seaside village in Daodengzhou, Henan.There is a 50-year-old widowed mother in the family, and two sister-in-laws who are also widowed.In addition to his two dead brothers, he also had five sisters, but all three of them had already been married, and they were also married to nearby families.There are still two younger sisters left in the family. The fourth sister Wanjing is sixteen this year, which is past the age of Jiji, and the fifth sister Wanting is also fourteen this year. According to the customs of the late Tang Dynasty, both of them have reached the age of marriage.

In addition to them, there is also a Silla maidservant Wan'er in the family, who is one year older than the fifth sister, and this year happens to be the age of Ji.

Li Jing's family consists of a widowed mother, two widowed sisters-in-law, two younger sisters who have not left the court, a maid Wan'er, and Li Jing, a total of seven people.In a family of seven, Li Jing is the only man left.

Li Jing's father, Li Gang, used to be a low-level official. When he was seven years old, he worked as a county official in Tan County in eastern Zhejiang. As a result, Qiu Fu, a native of Yuezhou, rebelled in Zhejiang and broke Tan County. Li Gang died in the chaos.

The eldest brother Li Yan has since become the pillar of the family, but four years ago, Pang Xun led the Guilin soldiers to rebel and went all the way back to Xuzhou. Only 22 years old.

The second brother, Li Yu, is only one year older than Li Jing. Just a few days ago, Blacksmith Wang’s family in the same village planned to build a seaweed house next year. Blacksmith Wang’s son invited Li Jing and Li Yu to go to the beach to collect seaweed together.As a result, I happened to meet a group of official salt dealers chasing a group of private salt dealers at the beach. I don't know if it was a real accidental injury, or if those salt dealers wanted to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious. One, Li Jing jumped into the sea under the cover of his brother to save his life.

Li Yu and the three young men just disappeared. Although Li Jing escaped with his life at that time, the knife wound on his body broke out after returning, and the high fever persisted. The doctor had already shook his head and said that there was no hope. At the time of the coffin, Li Jing woke up.But no one knew that the Li Jing who woke up was no longer the Li Jing in the past.

Li Jing, who came from later generations, was originally a student who was about to graduate from the six-year undergraduate and master's degree at the Guomin University of China. He was a gentle student.In this life, although Li Jing has a strong body, he has been learning from his father Li Gang since he was a child. After he lost his father at the age of seven, he learned Chinese and calligraphy from his mother who also has a good level of writing skills.

By the time his eldest brother died, he had already received a letter of recommendation from the prefecture and county, became a village tribute, and was preparing to enter Beijing for the exam.But when the elder brother died, Li Jing, who had just turned 16, finally chose to stay and take care of the elder brother's funeral, and since then, he and the second elder brother have taken on the burden of the whole family.

In the past few years, he and his second brother have taken on the burden of the whole family, and at the same time started to learn martial arts.Although Li Jing's father, Li Gang, was a scholar and civil official, the Li family's ancestors were all junior military officers of the Ziqingping Lu Army for several generations.It was only after something happened that the whole family moved from Qingzhou to the Shandong Peninsula by the sea.

It's just a pity that misfortunes never come singly. The Li family lost three heads of the family in a short period of ten years. This was an extremely heavy blow to the Li family.

Now, Li Jing, who has just been crowned, has become the pillar of this ill-fated family.

As the sun went down, plumes of cooking smoke rose from the sky above Wangli Village, dogs barked, and villagers who went out to work began to return one after another.

"Sanlang, it's time for dinner."

The sound of footsteps came from the courtyard behind, Li Jing turned her head, and in front of her was a young woman in a gray skirt, with a thin body, a slightly pale oval face, beautiful features, good-looking, but too weak After a while, Li Jing knew at a glance that this was because the girl was in the growth and development period, but her nutrition could not keep up, and she had to work for a long time, which led to this situation.

Li Jing nodded and smiled at the girl.She is Wan'er. Nine years ago, their whole family came to Dengzhou from Xinluofu to visit relatives. However, there are eight children and parents in his family, and there are ten people in his family. He has no money, so how can he survive.Later, her father gave the three younger sisters Wan'er to be maidservants, which was considered a way of survival.But everyone's life is hard, even the maids who don't need money usually don't have food to support them.In the end, Wan'er's family knew that Li Jing's family was still rich, so they came to the door with the child and begged for the living child's life. Li's mother was kind, and she couldn't see such a pitiful thing, so she finally accepted Wan'er.

Although Wan'er is nominally the maidservant of the Li family, Li's mother has always treated Wan'er as an adopted daughter, and her clothes, food and clothing are the same as those of her daughters.It's just that the Li family's life is also difficult now, especially this year, after the drought first and then the locust plague, the family has no harvest, and now it is good enough to have something to eat.

"Let's go into the house together." Li Jing said to the girl.The two went back to the house, Li Jing was in front, but Wan'er was still two steps behind, looking back at this frail girl, Li Jing felt all sorts of feelings in her heart.

This is also Datang, a Datang who can't even eat enough!
