"It's so touching, Zixu is so pitiful!"
In the main hall, Han Yan found the first scroll of bamboo slips and read it aloud with great emotion.
The new emperor just felt that there were such miserable people in the Han Dynasty, his face became a little gloomy, and Han Yan's eyes were red from crying.
"This Zixu has suffered so many grievances at such a young age. It's really touching." Sang Hongyang nodded.
Han Yan is emotional, while Sang Hongyang is rational.
At least Sang Hongyang felt that Zixu's situation when he was young was acceptable, and there were many such people. In his hometown of Luoyang City, there were many such beggars who lost their parents at a young age and could only grow like weeds.
Anyone who has met these people will not have any waves in their hearts.
Han Yan didn't see much of him. That was just because Han Yan's living conditions were so good. He often went in and out of the palace, and all he saw were noble people.
It is not easy for the new emperor to see these situations. On the one hand, the living conditions of the emperor are the highest in the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, the courtiers will not spread such things with great emotion.
I can generally give it a rating of "starved to death dozens of people", and things just went by like a breeze.
In various memorials, many tragic events are just cold numbers. After listening to them, I feel that things are nothing more than that.
Now someone is actually describing what's going on at the bottom.
"But Brother Dongfang writes these things, how can he ask for an official position?"
Sang Hongyang did not understand the logic of Zhang Xuezhou's actions. This was not a normal parallel essay for seeking an official position.
If he had known that Zhang Xuezhou was so incompetent in writing, Sang Hongyang felt that his writing would be a hundred times better than this kind of inexpressible words if he asked him for a favor.
"This Zixu's life is too miserable, otherwise we won't read it." Sang Hongyang whispered: "Sweep all these bamboo slips out!"
"Read it, why don't you read it?" the new emperor frowned and said, "I want to see how many other tragic things he has written, and how many tragic things he has written outside the court that he has not reported to the superiors."
"Read... I also want to see what will happen to Zixu, whether he will starve to death, whether he will freeze to death, wuwu~"
Han Yan stretched out his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes repeatedly. Several eunuchs wiped away tears, while some bowed their heads and remained silent.
Han Yan was just feeling sentimental, but to the eunuchs, these experiences all seemed similar.
They may have never been so miserable, but they did see similar people. Those people disappeared from their lives and were never seen again. Now that they think about it, those friends may be dead.
The eunuchs sobbed several times, and along with the new emperor's sullenness, they quickly regained their composure, and all of them lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.
In the main hall, in the end, only Han Yan's intermittent recitation was left.
But the more he recited, the lighter Han Yan's voice became, and even began to bring a bit of joy.
The first chapter of the routine can be as miserable as it is written, but the second chapter must start to solve the problem.
There have been tragedies in the past, even if Zixu was living under someone else's roof, or even encountered some bullying, it was nothing. This was always an extra chance to survive, and it also allowed the other person to grow up.
"Your Majesty, can I read the third volume?"
After reading the second volume, Han Yan felt that he was in a much better mood.
He couldn't help but want to know how Zixu would live next, and whether there were other possible improvements.
"Read it!"
The new emperor's gloomy face looked better.
Although Zixu's situation was tragic, at least it was not so tragic that it was unacceptable.
Compared with the dead father and mother in the first chapter, in the second chapter at least he had the help of his brother and sister-in-law and did not end up starving to death.
The new emperor also became a little more curious and wanted to see what happened to Zixu.
This made Han Yan start reading passionately again.
The third volume begins with Zixu studying to seek to escape his fate. The content of this chapter is dull, but it made the new emperor nod his head.
"Reading is indeed a way to change your destiny," the new emperor said.
"Then his brother-in-law is also amazing. Not only does he have a collection of books at home, but he can also support him in learning calligraphy and calligraphy," Sang Hongyang praised.
"Although my brother and sister-in-law were a little harsh towards Zixu, they still had righteousness in their hearts. Their meanness made Zixu angry and courageous, and he did not indulge in useless things," the new emperor commented.
"That's it!"
If reading the first chapter makes people feel heartbroken, the second chapter makes people breathe a sigh of relief, and the third chapter makes people agree with it, and even confirm that Zixu has escaped the troubles of survival and will not be a mediocre person in the future.
"Zixu actually started practicing martial arts!"
If the third chapter is about learning cultural knowledge, the fourth chapter begins to involve physical strengthening and martial arts foundation, and even a little adventure, which makes Zixu's body start to become strong and powerful.
"Keep reading!"
The new emperor waved his hand, thinking that he could hear what this kid could do when he grew up, and why someone would pass it on to him.
"Zixu has finally grown up. He is nine feet three inches tall, his eyes are as bright as bright beads, his teeth are as white and neat as arranged shells, he is as brave as Meng Ben, as agile as Qingji, as honest and thrifty as Uncle Bao, and as loyal as he is. Like Obi..."
"Wait a minute, I remember 'Wei Sheng and the girl met under a beam. If the woman doesn't come, the water won't go away, and they will die hugging the beam.' Isn't this Wei Sheng's faith a bit pedantic?"
Chapter 5 began to introduce Zixu’s appearance, personality, quality, and strength as an adult. While everyone was happy to hear this, the new emperor couldn’t help but find fault with it and felt that there were some shortcomings.
"Your Majesty, if this person has the integrity to serve the imperial court, it will be your Majesty's blessing," Sang Hongyang said.
"Well, you are right in saying that!"
The new emperor thought for a while and finally agreed.
If Zixu, like Wei Sheng, dies just to date a woman even when the tide rises, the new emperor feels that this kind of character is simply ridiculous and useless.
But if the other party's faith is reflected in serving the court and willing to keep faith with the king, then this kind of person can definitely become the person whom the king trusts most.
As long as the target of what he did was changed, the new emperor felt that he could still accept it. He even felt that he began to need a lot of trustworthy people like Zixu.
"Then what?"
During the reading, Han Yan's mouth went dry, but everyone's interest did not diminish.
This made Han Yan take out the sixth volume of bamboo slips and start reading them word for word.
"I didn't expect that Zixu started wandering around the world and became a good person who rescued others for justice. This person is indeed a good person. Listen... Han Yan, why don't you continue reading!"
"I don't recognize the words below. The words below seem to be the words from the evil country!"
"Is it really a bad language?"
The VIP chapter set up by Zhang Xuezhou is free of charge, but it does require admission. People who do not have certain writing skills cannot understand the characters of the evil country.
Of course, what the imperial court is most indispensable for is talents.
Zhang Xuezhou is not the only one in Chang'an City who is proficient in the script of the country of evil. There are many officials in Honglu Temple who are proficient in the script of the country of evil.
If two officials come, they will definitely be able to translate the contents of this bamboo slip and read it through.
"But the Empress Dowager repeatedly scolded me for not studying well and reading useless books. She can't even get used to it, let alone these false things. Once the Empress Dowager finds out about it, it will be very troublesome!"
The new emperor looked at Sang Hongyang, then at Han Yan, and then at the many young eunuchs. He couldn't help but feel troubled for a while.
It would be fine if the contents of these bamboo slips were empty. At this time, everyone was in high spirits, so they actually turned them into characters written in the evil country. This is very uncomfortable.
In particular, the content involves Zixu's heroic actions, and the villain seems to have a small fortune.
"Hongyang, do you think Zixu can get money by defeating the Thirteen Black Wind Heroes?" the new emperor asked.
"Perhaps Zixu was stabbed by this bad guy," Sang Hongyang said, "After all, the skills he learned are not enough to withstand the enemy, they are just at the level of practice."
Sang Hongyang didn't dare to respond randomly. If he did, he had to guess the data. If he guessed correctly, that would be enough. If he guessed wrong, he would undoubtedly be slapped in the face.
This led him to formulate a hypothesis.
This assumption immediately made Xintei feel bad.
