Chapter 7 Storytelling

When the teacher said that he was talking about history, Jiang Chenge and Zhang Shouyi suddenly became excited. Telling history is telling stories. When the two children saw that there was a story, they immediately focused and sat upright.

Kong Xiaoan faced the students in the school, stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and told the story.

The time went back to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Liuting Town was not yet named, but was a wild and wild place. At that time, Wu Yue fought for hegemony, Goujian, King Goujian, was defeated and surrendered to Wu. Goujian's youngest son, was 3 years old. He was sent by Fan Li to secretly escort here to avoid disaster. Three years later, Goujian slept on firewood and tasted gall, fought against Wu again, and turned defeat into victory. King Fuchai of Wu was forced to hang himself. Afterwards, King Goujian moved north to Langya to build the capital, and wanted to take Yi to go there, but Qi was infected with the root of wind and cold due to his youth and prosperity, and he was never cured. Although Goujian loved Yi very much, he saw that Yi was weak and sickly and was not suitable for long journeys. So he accepted Fan Li and Guan Zhong's suggestion, agreed to Yi Liu to stay and recuperate, and issued an order to make Yi Liu the King of Liu, and build a Liu Wang Palace for Liu Wang.

When the Liuwang Palace was being built, the Liuwang could not stand the craftsmen's beating all day and night, so he moved here to stay temporarily. The Liuwang lived here temporarily. The following entourages were afraid that the sun and night dew would be exposed to the wind and cold again, so they built a pavilion to shelter from the wind and rain for the use of rest. The pavilion was named Liuwang. Over time, customs were established, and Liuwang became a place name.

It was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that the emperor visited Jiangnan in a private place. Local bureaucrats heard the news, fearing that Emperor Qianlong would come uninvited, so they followed Liuting to establish a sub-government for Liuting and named Liuting Town.

Jiang Chenge and Zhang Shouyi listened with relish and forgot that the Japanese soldiers were at Liuting, and they were already in the face of the enemy. They didn’t care about the origin of Liuting Town, but asked the gentleman curiously, where was the pavilion?

Kong Xiaoan sighed, what happened thousands of years ago, and the pavilion no longer existed, and even King Liu became a legend. He blurted out: King Liu had already gone on a yellow crane, and the town of Liu Wang was left here; the pavilion was in the dust of ancient times, and the fire of war was still burning in front of him. Although he was a scholar, his mood suddenly became heavier when he talked about the past and thought about the present.

After all, Jiang Chenge and Zhang Shouyi are still children. How can they understand the teacher’s state of mind at this moment, but follow the childlike innocence and continue to ask, where is the palace left?

Kong Xiaoan sighed unconsciously and continued to talk.

After the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin, and seven major countries fought for years, and the land of China was scorched earth. The kings fought for hegemony, and the people suffered. The name was King Liu, but they had no soldiers and soldiers, which was no different from the common people. Due to this, the war finally burned to the King Liu Palace.

Jiang Chenge and Zhang Shouyi were fascinated by the hearing, and they also thought the teacher was talking too much, so they asked anxiously, what happened later?

Kong Xiaoan was not anxious and said, "Later! Liu Wang Fu was weak and weak, but he was very angry. He refused to surrender until his death and would rather be a ghost under the sword than a slave to survive. Finally, Liu Wang Fu was treated as a bandit, and a fire ignited Liu Wang Fu, which burned Liu Wang Fu to ashes. He also burned himself in the palace with the fire. Liu Wang Fu was burned to death, but he did not fear the reputation of a powerful enemy, and finally moved the world. The fire in Liu Wang Fu was burned for three days and three nights, and thunder suddenly burst into the sky and lightning flew.

Plus, the rainstorm was pouring. It took another three days and three nights. Finally, there was only a rumbling sound. The sky collapsed and the earth broke. The Liu Palace fell into the ground. The heavy rain opened a gap like a river. It poured into it in time. From then on, the Liu Palace became the Wangyang Ze Kingdom, sank underground, and turned into a lake. "At this moment, Kong Xiaoan was no longer a private school teacher, but more like a storyteller. He mixed history into myths and legends, and taught people not to tell whether it was a historical story or a unofficial history legend.

However, this is no longer important. Kong Xiaoan just doesn't want to fall into fear of the Japanese. He inadvertently used his knowledge to induce students step by step, hoping to provide the children with an atmosphere of studying.

When Jiang Chenge heard this, he shouted in surprise: "I understand, I understand, and Liuwang Palace will become Liuwanghu."

Kong Xiaoan nodded and praised, "By the way, you are so smart. If I say this, you can have associations. OK, very good, it means you are a child who likes to use your brain very much."

Zhang Shouyi looked at Jiang Chenge in admiration. Jiang Chenge had burst into tears and shook his head proudly.

Kong Xiaoan smiled and asked, "Do you know why sir told this story today?"

Jiang Chenge and Zhang Shouyi looked at each other and shook their heads.

Kong Xiaoan said: "Children, what sir means is that the Eastern Japanese outside the gate are foreign bandits. We must learn to keep Wang Fu's general and courage. Even if it is broken, it will not be completely broken. If you fight to the death, you will drive the Japanese back to Japan. Do you understand?"

Jiang Chenge shook his head. When Zhang Shouyi saw it, he quickly shook his head.

Kong Xiaoan lowered his head unconsciously and sighed and said, "You are still young now, and you will understand when you grow up."

Upon hearing this, the teacher's wife walked over quietly and quickly and blamed Kong Xiaoan: "Why are you talking to your children about these things? They are still young, so don't let the children get involved in state affairs! Let's live peacefully. Whether the Japanese come or not or not, what does it have to do with you? There are ears in the walls. Don't be fooled. What kind of trouble will happen to you? Let's suffer with you..."
