Chapter 78 The Story of He Bo

Chu Tianya frowned and whispered, "He Bo, the apprentice you mentioned... can't he be Tong Guan?"

"That's right, it's him." Unexpectedly, Uncle He admitted it at once. He nodded and said, "The old man has officially accepted three apprentices in his life. Tong Guan is the first to worship me as a teacher and the one with the most outstanding qualifications. In addition, there are Princess Xiao and the young master. The old man also taught some kung fu, but he is not my apprentice.

"The other two apprentices of the elder..." Bai Shu said half of it, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Say it!" Uncle He smiled.

"It's Jiao Wentong, the owner of the second village of Qixing Mountain, and Xue Yu, the owner of the third village!" Bai Shu said very seriously, "Is that so, senior?"

He Bo tilted his head and slanted his eyes. He nodded and smiled, "It seems to be these two little rabbits, that's right!"

Both Chu Tianya and Baixu's faces changed - He Bo finally admitted it!

"Why did you make such an expression?" Uncle He still smiled and said, "The past has nothing to do with the present. The old man has been a person who has died several times for a long time. Those things seem to be things in his previous life, and he should have forgotten them for a long time. Those old people are meaningless to the old man.

"The saint said, is it meaningless for the king of heaven and earth to be a teacher and a father for a day?" Bai Xu said, "All the time, Brother Jiao and Brother Xue have been looking for the whereabouts of the elders. After learning that the old man was hiding in Taiyuan, he wanted to pick up the old man to enjoy some blessings. But it's also in the way..."

"Hey hey!" He Bo smiled and nodded his head and said, "Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu are different from Tong Guanlai. These two little bastards are kind, filial, affectionate and righteous, which are quite good. They knew that they had fallen into the grass and were afraid of being involved with me, so they didn't dare to come to see me. But they have this intention, and that's enough. The old man has lived in the Chu family for so many years and is used to it. I really don't want to go anywhere to enjoy happiness.

"It's a pity that I just asked Brother Xue Sange to go back to the cottage to report the news to the eldest brother, otherwise he would be very happy if he saw the senior..." Bai Xu sighed.

Chu Tianya also sighed and said, "He Bo, since Tong Guan has such a great hatred for you, it's easy to kill him with your skills. Why haven't you been doing it for a long time?

"That's right. He killed my family of thirty-seven people and let me cut off my children and grandchildren. If I don't smash such a good apprentice, I really don't deserve to be a human being. Uncle He was still very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He said, "But Tong Guan is not only my enemy, but also my town marshal of the Song Dynasty, and he also has an important responsibility for state affairs. Although the old man is a shallow and ignorant man, how can he abolish national affairs because of his own selfishness at this critical time? ... In fact, I have also been looking for a good revenge strategy, but I can't think hard. It was not until the young master used a trick to let Tong Guan die in the hands of the Jurchens that I was determined to take revenge in person!"

"When Tong Guan was not at the edge of Taiyuan Town before, why didn't He Bo think about revenge in person?" Chu Tianya and Baixu both asked.

"It's a long story." Uncle He said, "Five years ago, when I failed to follow Fang La's uprising, my family was killed by Tong Guan, and the government also chased me everywhere. I made a fake corpse to muddle through, and then fled to Taiyuan, ready to join Jiao Wentong in Qixing Mountain, or fled to Liao for temporary shelter. But at that time, I was seriously injured on the battlefield, and one leg was also disabled. I fled here for thousands of miles. It was blood and I was not far away. In winter, I was in a coma in the snow outside Taiyuan City.

"It happened that Master Chu, the father of the young master, was returning from visiting friends in Yuci County and rescued me and took me home on the way. He asked the doctor to treat my wounds and save me. Then I didn't inquire about anything about me. I only took me in his house and asked my friends from the government to get a military household registration for me. From then on, I had the salary of the imperial court, which was also old and nourished.

"The old man has lived for most of his life, and he has never met such a friendly person as Master Chu. It was during that time that I felt the warmth and care I had never had before, and even the hatred in my heart had disappeared a lot. In addition, Tong Guan is leading troops to travel thousands of miles away, and Jiao Wentong has given up the position of the owner of Qixingzhai to others. If I go up the mountain, I'm afraid it will cause him trouble. So I temporarily gave up the idea of revenge and going up the mountain, and from then on, I lived in the Chu family at ease.

"So there are so many things in the past!" Both Chu Tianya and Bai Xun were stunned.

"It's a pity that the fate of people is short, and Master Chu passed away soon after. Leave the young master alone and no one will take care of him. He Bo said calmly, "Master Chu didn't tell me until he was on his deathbed. It turned out that he had long guessed that I was Fang Layu's party and rebel criminal who was arrested by the court, but he never asked me, let alone betrayed me. Instead, he treated me like a family and rest assured to stay in his house. Although Master Chu is a Confucian student, this kind of righteousness is better than a martial artist! When it was found that thirty-seven people in the family were killed, the old man had only boundless hatred in his heart and never shed a tear. However, on the day Master Chu passed away, the old man cried very sadly. From then on, I also swear that I must take good care of the young master and not let the young master suffer any harm..."

"No wonder Uncle He became like that when I was injured in Qingyunbao that day..." Chu Tianya smiled with a moved smile, "He Bo, I have no relatives in this world. From then on, I will serve you as my father and die for you.

"No way!" Uncle He straightened his face and said firmly, "From the day I lived in the Chu family, the young master is the Lord and I am a servant, which is doomed. It will never change!"

"But you are the master of Jiaozhai Lord and Xuezhai Lord, I..."

"The young master doesn't have to say anything." He Bo interrupted Chu Tianya with a wave of his hand and said, "All the past events have been written off until the moment when Tong Guan died in front of my eyes. From now on, I'm just a bad old man, a servant of the Chu family, and I have no other identity.

"No wonder the old man has been refusing to recognize Jiao Erge and Xue Sange. It turns out that so many things have happened..." Bai Xu sighed and arched his hand to He Bo, "The old man really has the style of a national scholar. No wonder he can teach such a good apprentice as Jiao Erge and Xue Sange! You three masters and apprentices are all real righteous heroes, and I admire them very much!"

"It's a pity that Tong Guan has also taught such a bad apprentice who harms the country and the people." He Bo shook his head and smiled helplessly and said, "However, although Tong Guan's heart is not right, he is better than Cai Jing's treacherous ministers. Anyway, he also led troops to guard the border to resist Xixia for so many years, and indeed made some achievements in protecting the country. But one of the most wrong things he did was out of his personal indignation towards the State of Liaoning. He joined forces with Cai Jing to destroy Liaoning, and did many wrong things to humiliate the country and infring on the people in the process of attacking Liao. But if you really want to investigate to the end, Tong Guanyi is a eunuch and is ordered by the official family to go on an expedition. All large and small policies and strategies have been formulated by officials and Zhai Zhi for a long time, and Tong Guan can only implement them. Therefore, one day, if the Song Dynasty is really invaded by the Jurchen and there is a disaster of destruction, the real culprit is not Tong Guan, but those faint kings and mediocre ministers in the court who regard state affairs as a child's play and regardless of the lives of the people!"

"He Bo's unique opinion is to the point." Chu Tianya frowned and said seriously, "The world only hates treacherous ministers, and few people dare to hate the faint king. Treacherous ministers are hateful, but often the faint king is the root of the real bad things! Tong Guan died, and he deserved it; but he didn't suffer on behalf of the king!"

"This theory is quite high... Xiaosheng, I have never thought about this." Bai Wei frowned and meditated and said, "How many people in the world can have the foresight of the elders and Brother Chu? Like young students and other generations, from the day they were born, they only knew to be loyal and patriotic. No matter what this king is, loyalty is understandable. If the world is bad, it is the fault of the treacherous minister... Such an idea is deeply rooted in the minds of Xiaosheng and the vast majority of the Song people.

Bo He also said, "The white boy is right. In those years, because of the disaster of Hua Shi Gang, countless people in the south of the Yangtze River were displaced and suffered unspeakably. Only then did Fang La wave his arm and gathered, shaking half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River. But Fang La soon failed, and there were naturally many reasons. But after that, I thought about it before I woke up. Fang La made the most fatal mistake at the beginning, that is, he called himself king without killing the treacherous minister! - He violated the oath he made at the time of the accident. In order to seek wealth and noble, he became king prematurely under the condition of poor strength, but from then on, he fought against orthodoxy and stood in the opposition of the world. Face, become a real thief!"

"That's right, the world is orthodox and people's hearts are. This power is immeasurable and cannot be ignored!" Bai Shu said.

Chu Tianya listened to the words of the two of them and nodded silently. This short conversation suddenly made him think of something very deep. At present, the positions and opinions of these three people are also different.

Chu Tianya is from the 21st century, and he has a good understanding of the history of this era. His way of thinking and the concept in his heart will not be the same as anyone in this era. It is not surprising that He Bo once followed Fang La to lead the peasant uprising and created the rebellion of the Song Dynasty. It is not surprising that he has such an opinion. Although Bai Yu is a bandits, he is a typical Song Zimin who grew up under the education of poetry and calligraphy. His opinions and ideas are very representative.

But the three people coincidentally thought of the same problem: in the minds of the vast majority of ordinary officials, unless there is a formal change of dynasties, the orthodoxy of the monarchy can not be defied. No matter how mediocre the king is and how corrupt the court is, orthodoxy is orthodoxy! - This is like, the Han Dynasty was obviously finished in the Three Kingdoms era, but the Han Emperor was still orthodox in the minds of the people of the world. Therefore, Cao Cao can take the emperor and order the princes, thus occupying the absolute advantage in politics and people's hearts!

The word "orthodox" has been deeply branded in Chu Tianya's heart from this moment on.
