Chapter 43 The Hair Matter


"Okay, let's get here first, I should go home. Okay?" I was talking about the happy part yesterday, and you suddenly said to me like this.

"Okay." That's all I could say.Perhaps the most difficult thing in the world to resist is tiredness and sleepiness, so I had to let you go home.In fact, I'm sad: You still have your life, you still have your family, and the people you love, and the people who love you.But what about me?There are only these stories left.

……

Still, thank you for the kind words you've spoken to me after hearing this.

Thank you for saying that every night in the future, I will come on time and listen to the story obediently——

It's like listening to Apple's i-story robot tell you stories when you were a child.

Ha, that is like now.

You said that, I am really happy, and I am more confident in telling the story.I even feel that because of your concern, I can tell today's story more excitingly than before... I know that the historical allusions are too complicated and entangled.Originally, I planned to simply talk about it and let it go.Because I know that it is not difficult for you to obtain this information.But I thought about it and still didn't do it.I thought I had to get the story out in my own way so that the telling could go on.

— not because I was sure I could speak better.I just deeply understand what telling itself means to me.

The history you see is a part of my youth and life that was truly consumed.I have hoped and despaired there, and lived a down-to-earth life in the cycle of hope and despair.This life has gone through the wind and sand of time and space, and the moist and moist initial state has become more and more difficult to find.Only the roughness and desolation of the soul grow harder and firmer day by day:

Therefore, I have to tell the story in person, so that I can return to the original time when the water was verdant in the slow infiltration.

At first.At first.

Back then, it was still the tenth year of Kangxi, and the banquet in the Biyi Pavilion had not yet ended.The prince didn't stop talking.

The little girl was summoned and came up to change the charcoal fire.The half-cold wine warmer was warmed up again.The prince was heartbroken, and said: "The people in the world just blindly curse, who really has the heart, go and see for yourself what kind of heart is shown in the letter I wrote to Dorgon?" Song Song, drunk to the depths of sadness.I stared blankly, listened, accompanied, and silently saw a bright moon rising outside the pavilion.

The moon was big and round, hanging silently in the eternal night.

I think there may not be any sorrow in it. ... The whole person was in a trance, and suddenly there was a curse under the shadow of the moon. "Dog thief! Now that things have happened, you still dare to argue, saying that you are not an unfaithful and unfilial person!"

The sound of thunder on the ground startled me and the prince.

The pavilion is so quiet, where did the third person come from?

The two people who had forgotten their age and passed away from the world coincided with each other and hurriedly looked around.

There was a short man in black standing in the pavilion!

Before I had time to take a second look, I saw his body move.A cold light and a gust of wind went towards the prince.As for the prince, at the moment of being sad after drinking, how can he exert any strength after the accident?All he had to do was raise the wine glass in his hand and block it indiscriminately.Fortunately, he was a brave general after all.

Even though it took only one-tenth of the force under the sudden change, it was enough to catch people by surprise.The man in black tilted his arms and wrists.This made the murder weapon miss its target, and Ding Ling slashed onto the wine bottle with a sound.

Seeing that the knife missed, the man stabilized his posture, and immediately swung his knife to chop again.

Fortunately, the prince was prepared at this moment, and immediately dodged backwards swiftly.

Who knew that he couldn't dodge this time, the golden armor on his body was chopped off instantly.

Thinking about it, the prince himself didn't expect that the knife would be hit.

He staggered under his feet for a while, so he half-kneeled on the ground.

Seeing that the winning ticket was in his hands, the man immediately showed a look of satisfaction, put away his slashing heart, put away the knife and said: "How? You finally have nothing to say this time, right? Believe it or not, I can slash you with a single knife now." about you?"

The prince is indeed an old hero who has been fighting for many years. He is very calm in the face of danger.He straightened his body and said calmly, "There are many people in the world who want to kill me, but after all these years, I'm still fine."

When the man heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore, jumped up and shouted, "Then I'll get rid of you as a thief!"

He also said: "Wu Sangui! The bloody battle has been closed for more than 20 years, I hate you to the bone, and I will never forget it!"

"You...why do you hate me?" The prince gritted his teeth lightly and said.

"Why do I hate you, don't you know? Back then, you couldn't beat me by yourself, so you begged for mercy from the Jianzhou Tartars. Where is Shanhaiguan? I have tens of millions of Chinese in the Central Plains, and I rely on this barrier to resist aliens outside the pass. .But you treat it like nothing, and opened this iron gate for a prostitute. Since then, a beautiful river and mountain has fallen into the hands of outsiders. You say, how far-reaching is your crime of killing me!"

"Hey!" The man sighed again, "I only regret that I didn't kill you at that time!"

I heard a burst of horror.

This person is full of "closing the door in a bloody battle" and "the Tartars of Jianzhou". How come the more he listens, the more he looks like Li Zicheng?

When he was thinking about it, the man didn't stop talking, he still shouted: "Pingxi! Pingxi! My good lord, please ask yourself, what is it that you are flattering? Today you are crowned king and have glory. But The red hat on his head is all stained with blood from tens of thousands of Han soldiers!"

"Don't mention it, just talk about the last battle between you and me in Shanhaiguan. You colluded with the Tartar soldiers and chased me forty miles away, leaving the corpses of my men all over the field. Today, 25 years after the road was killed in this way, there are still many bones in the river, and the green moss is covered with green phosphorus every night. Let me ask you, except for you, this ancient and modern unfaithful, unfilial, treacherous and evil No .1 title, who else can deserve it?"

After the man finished speaking, he rushed forward.I'm worried that he's going to kill me.

But he didn't know why, he tilted his body, fell to the ground, and dropped the warm hat on his head along with it.What is unexpected is: in such a blink of an eye, he seems to have changed, and all of a sudden, he lost his arrogance.The knife in his hand also clanged and fell to the ground.

After a while, trembling bent over, suddenly turned into an old man.

He hastily went to hold his hat.While putting it on his head in a mess, he yelled: "My hat! My hat! Wu Sangui, you did a good job! You did a good job!" The voice was full of infinite humiliation and panic.The blue veins near the prince's sword eyebrows twitched suddenly, and the eyes seemed to be bleeding at any moment.I turned my head to look at the man prostrating on the ground again.When I punched the eye, I was surprised: Why is the man's hairstyle now so wretched and fishy?However, he soon realized how stupid he was.

When did adult men's hair not look like this?I just never found them so ugly.

What's more, this half-bald hair that was shaved by the Manchurians has always been hidden as tightly as their buttocks.They always wear all kinds of hats to cover their heads perfectly.

Even the prince is the same.

How could he not?As a prince who has surrendered to the new dynasty, he can only do so.

In the blink of an eye, I suddenly understood the man who combed his hair in the Humble Administrator's Garden back then.

Understand his loneliness, loneliness and puzzled fluttering silver hair.At that time, it was already the year of Kangxi, and he was still combing the head of a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, hiding in the Humble Administrator's Garden like a swaying shadow... Rejecting Yi Di's unsightly Qian Xiaoding was the last of his generation of celebrities Dignity? "Thinking of this, I took a step back in horror, and understood why the whole world hated the name "Wu Sangui".

My "prince" is clearly the first Han Chinese to shave his head.

In any case, if he hadn't opened Shanhaiguan to borrow troops from Dorgon, what would have happened?

It was him who made the Chinese men who have always regarded themselves as elegant, have their heads pinned one by one, shaved off the hair of their parents, and wore a mouse tail all their lives. , hats, etc. to cover up things.It is him who makes all Chinese men afraid to ask themselves: "

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing regime announced to the world a long time ago that they would keep their hair but not their heads, and keep their heads but not their hair.It is not possible to shave an inch or less.Those who are not as good as shaving their hair, cut it off!That being the case, what did you do to survive? "

I closed my eyes and opened them again:

The weeping Li Zicheng ridiculously bares his scalp, and there is only a piece of hair no bigger than a copper coin at the back of his head.It was this pitiful little piece of hair that was gathered in one place and formed into a thin braid, like the tail of a dry rat, trembling slightly in mid-air.

... Is this person the peasant leader who gave Emperor Chongzhen such a headache back then?
