With the help of his elder brother, Zhao Dechang managed Chennai City in an orderly manner, and because of his outstanding political achievements, he attracted the attention of his superiors, and he was about to be promoted to secretary and supervisor under the recommendation of his superiors.Zhao Dechang was proud of the spring breeze in the officialdom, and he suddenly thought: I can have today, my brother is really indispensable, and now I am about to work elsewhere, why not bring my brother with me?
With him going south and north, collecting information extensively, why worry about me not being prosperous and prosperous?
So, he found Zhao Dezhong again and said what he thought.When Zhao Dezhong heard his younger brother say this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and thought: Brother, brother, do you want to make me a beggar for the rest of my life?
Zhao Dezhong thought so in his heart, but his face didn't show it, he turned around and thought: No matter what, Zhao Dechang is my younger brother after all, I can't help him with his help, as long as he can be a good official, it's okay for me as an elder brother to suffer a little.Thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.Unexpectedly, just when the two brothers left Chennai, such a strange thing happened: some ordinary people who heard that Zhao Dezhong was about to leave rushed to the halfway road and tried hard to keep him from leaving here.They all regarded him as a person who dared to speak up to the government, and no one wanted to let him go.When Zhao Dechang saw this scene, he couldn't hold it on his face: he was the lord of a county, and when he left, no one came to say goodbye, and a beggar was stopped by many ordinary people on the road, and he was reluctant to give up.A Jinyi guard who went out on patrol in micro-clothes saw that the people of Chennai had such respect for a beggar, and felt very surprised, so he privately inquired about the reason, and this inquiry made it clear what was going on.This brocade guard returned to the capital and reported the matter to Li Lu in 1510.Li Lu was quite unhappy after hearing this, and he secretly said in his heart: This Zhao Dechang is too disagreeable, he doesn't miss his brother's love when he gets power, and still lets his brother beg for food, so an official, how can he not be greedy in the future?
However, he remembered Zhao Dezhong's loyalty and talent, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and with a wave of his pen, he wrote down a holy decree, saying that Zhao Dechang could have today, all thanks to his brother's help, in order to give him a chance to repay his brother, he specially ordered his brother to go to Yuanping Mansion in Xindu Province on behalf of Zhao Dechang to serve as the prefect.Zhao Dechang became a beggar, collecting public information for his brother, and if he had merit, he would fill the gap.Li Lu's holy decree came down to Chennai and stunned Zhao Dechang."
This, this, why did Your Majesty make such a will?"
Zhao Dechang, who received the holy decree, was dumbfounded, he couldn't figure it out, so he asked the Jinyi guard who came to announce the decree, "Lord Luo, this, what's going on?"
”"What's going on?
Zhao Dechang, don't you know in your own heart?
Hehehe, Your Majesty said that his subordinates can't be ungrateful white-eyed wolves......"
Jinyiwei, surnamed Luo, sneered and said, "Zhao Dechang, since you have also accepted Your Majesty's will, then pack up and go to Yuanping Mansion to be a beggar, right?"
”"What, Your Majesty wants your eldest brother to be an official, and you to be a beggar?
God, my Sanqing Daozun, what kind of sin has this been created.......
I don't live anymore, I ......."
Zhao Dechang's arrogant wife thought that she was going to be a beggar wife with her husband, looking for death and life, and arguing endlessly.His father regretted that his intestines were blue, and there was nothing he could do.Thinking that the holy order was difficult to disobey, Zhao Dezhong had no choice but to take the order and go.Soon, Zhao Dezhong remembered the brotherly love and wrote to Li Lu, stating his brotherhood with Zhao Dechang and his younger brother Zhao Dechang's clean and honest achievements in Chennai.Li Lu was moved by Zhao Dezhong's heroic righteousness regardless of his previous suspicions, so he ordered Zhao Dechang to be reinstated as the magistrate of Jinnai, and ordered him to reflect on it, otherwise Li Lu would have removed his official hat.Since then, the anecdote of the two brothers taking turns to be beggars and taking turns to be officials has become a household name in Chennai City, passed down from generation to generation, educating future generations, and being a man must help each other and love each other, but don't learn from Zhao Dechang and his wife to be white-eyed wolves, otherwise they will be retributed.Let's go back and talk about Li Lu, because this guy has been idle recently, he chose to pay a private visit to Weifu again, on this day, he stepped into Jinshan Mansion (the location is about the Altai Mountains in the northern Xinjiang of later generations), when he came here, it was spring, only to see the birds and flowers here, the lake and the mountains, Li Lu was so unhappy, unconsciously on a mountain called Hare Ridge.Why is it called Hare Ridge?
Because there are many hares in this ridge, and it is also steep and abnormal, ordinary hunters are not willing to come, so it has become a paradise for hares.There is a small temple on the ridge, clean and elegant, Li Lu is full of martial arts, but he is not afraid that the mountain road is not easy to walk, he wants to go up to rest for one night, and then go the next day.There is an old Taoist in the temple named Xuankong, a little Taoist priest Mingyuan, seeing that he is polite and extraordinary, and he is dressed luxuriously, the two hurriedly let the guests in.After taking his seat, Xuankong accompanied Li Lu to talk about some scripture allusions, and Mingyuan went out to get food.After a short time when the meal was served, Li Lu was a little unhappy, what's the matter?
All they served were wild vegetables and sweet potatoes!
Do you think he is used to eating all the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, how can he swallow this?
When the old Taoist saw this, he explained: "You don't know, we have been affected by disasters here, and the people under the mountain themselves have to survive the famine, let alone come to give us alms, and it is good to have these things to eat now." ”It turned out that this was the case, Li Lu secretly remembered it in his heart when he heard it, then took out the dry food he brought, ate some by himself, and gave the rest to Xuankong and Mingyuan, and the two of them were naturally grateful.At this time, it was not early, and Xuankong arranged for Li Lu to rest in the east wing.Li Lu tossed and turned after lying down, and still couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.He thought that since Yuan Ping had been affected by the disaster, it stands to reason that taxes should be reduced or exempted, and it would be better to actively fight the disaster, but why didn't the magistrate report on the excerpt?
He was baking flatbread on the kang, and suddenly saw that there was still a light in the west wing, and he couldn't help but wonder, it's so late, why hasn't the little Taoist Mingyuan slept yet?
He got up and crept out of the west wing, licked a hole in the window paper and looked inside.Seeing this, Li Lu was even more puzzled, only to see Mingyuan holding a night pot, roasting on the oil lamp, roasting for a while, turning it, roasting it for a while, and turning it again.Take a closer look, the spout of the night pot is still blocked, what is this doing?
Li Lu didn't dare to make a noise, and quietly returned to the east wing room and fell asleep.This is his experience of many private visits to micro-services, deep in the mountains and ancient temples, unfamiliar with life, in case of breaking other people's secrets, it will be a big trouble.Before dawn the next day, Li Lu got up to say goodbye, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Xuankong: "Donor walk slowly, it's not too late to leave after eating." ”Li Lu had no choice but to sit down.But when the rice was served, he found that it was white rice, and it was no longer wild vegetables and sweet potatoes.This is strange, overnight, how can there be white rice?
Xuankong hurriedly explained: "I got up this morning to open the temple door, and found that there was a bag of white rice outside the door. ”Li Lu was secretly proud when he heard this, he was a true dragon emperor, and he even lived in a broken temple with Dao Ancestor to send food.He ate so happily this meal that he ate three bowls in a row before stopping.
