Emperor Taizong Xuanwu of the Jin Dynasty Yuan Xi was the first emperor of the Jin Dynasty. He was also another emperor in the history of the Chinese Empire who could be called "one emperor through the ages" and "excellent" after "Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han".
More than four hundred years after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, history entered the Jin Dynasty. Jin Taizong Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Xi pushed this ancient empire to the pinnacle of glory.
Among the emperors of the past dynasties of China, Emperor Taizong Xuanwu of the Jin Dynasty was one of the very few British masters who was good at conquering the world on horseback and able to rule the world when he was dismounted.
During his reign, he was prepared for danger in times of peace, appointed virtuous people, accepted advice with an open mind, implemented the policy of light corvee and low taxes, and lax punishments, and carried out a series of political and military reforms, which finally contributed to social stability and production development. For the surrounding ethnic minorities, he implemented enlightened policies, appeased the leaders, and encouraged people-to-people exchanges. He was respected as "a leader as great as heaven" and respected as a god.
Luoyang, the Yuan family's mansion, Ms. Liu looked extremely tiredly at the newly born child in her arms. This was a boy. After he was born, he just cried loudly a few times, and then he showed a confused and dull look. His face The eyes are not as innocent as those of children.
There was a kind smile on Ms. Liu's charming face. She didn't seem to notice anything unusual about her son. She just hugged him affectionately. But little Yuan Xi seemed to feel her mother's love and the uneasiness in his eyes. It gradually disappeared, and then it seemed like thinking too much, consuming the little energy that was left, and actually fell asleep in my mother's arms.
Mrs. Liu didn't know that the body of her youngest son contained a soul that didn't belong to this world. She was still looking forward to the return of her favorite husband.
Yuan Xi didn't know why he appeared in such a world full of ancient customs. He had some specious memories in his mind. Maybe his previous life was just a dream, but the blood-related affection between mother and child when he was just born made him feel this. The reality of the world, Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, which one is the real self?
Yuan Xi was the second son of Yuan Shao, Emperor Taizu of the Jin Dynasty. When Yuan Xi was 4 years old, a scholar who claimed to be acquainted came to the family and said to his father Yuan Shao: "You are a noble man, and you have a noble son."
When he met Yuan Xi, the scholar actually said: "With the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sky and the sun, when he is eighteen years old, he will surely be able to calm the people."
With Yuan Xi's extensive knowledge, strong memory, intelligence and studiousness, he was able to recite the entire Analects of Confucius by heart at the age of five. Comparable to Kong Rong and Yang Xiu when they were young. Even in this extremely prominent family with four generations and three sons, he is still a child that everyone loves.
One day, Yuan Shao was inspecting Yuan Xi's homework and said, "Xier, daddy called you. Come here quickly and recite to your father what you learned yesterday about Sun Tzu's Art of War." Since the mysterious scholar said a bunch of strange things, Yuan Shao had high hopes for Yuan Xi. High hopes.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes what Yuan Shao's father is like: "He has great ambitions but little talent, he is fierce in appearance but weak in appearance but strong in nature, politically short-sighted, and militarily weak-minded, but he is handsome and mighty in appearance."
But in recent years, Yuan Xi discovered that Yuan Shaoke was not just a idiot but still had certain talents. Yuan Shao is a handsome guy, a child of an idol family. Anyone who looks at the tall and handsome military general of the imperial court will praise him from the bottom of his heart: "Master Yuan really has the style of a Confucian general."
"Nine Grounds Chapter. Sun Tzu said, 'The way to use troops is to use scattered ground, light ground, contentious ground, friendly ground, important ground, encircled ground, and dead ground. The place where princes fight is scattered ground... .... That’s why in the beginning you are like a virgin, and the enemy opens an account; in the end, you are like a rabbit in a shed, and the enemy cannot resist you." Yuan Xi said in a childish voice.
Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Haha, you are really my Qilin son of the Yuan family."
He glanced at his uncle and Cao Cao in the pavilion not far away, and said contentedly: "Xi'er, listen carefully, have you seen the white goose in the pond? Can you use the goose to make a poem?"
Yuan Shao's voice was deliberately loud. It was obvious that he did this on purpose. Of course he knew how evil his son was. Today he wanted to let his uncle and Cao Cao see how smart his precious son was.
Little Yuan Xi still looked lazy. He said boredly: "It's poetry again. Father, can you stop being so boring."
Yuan Shao pinched little Yuan Xi's pouty face with ill intentions and whispered to him: "Hurry up, how about secretly taking you out to play next time?"
Yuan Xi lazily said: "Father, when you are ready, let's chant goose, goose, goose, goose, and sing to the sky. White máo floats on the green water, and anthuriums stir green waves."
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard these sentences. Although in his opinion, this poem was still very childish, but his son was only six years old and had not yet learned how to learn. To be able to write such a poem, he was really a natural genius!
Little Yuan Xi's childish and clear voice was clearly heard by Yuan Wei and Cao Cao. Yuan Wei, who was still lying there leisurely, stood up from the recliner uncomfortably, with a look of surprise on his face, Cao Cao's There was also a look of surprise on his face. Yuan Xi, who was only six or seven years old, was even more curious.
Yuan Wei came over and mopped little Yuan Xi's head and thought for a moment. Since Xi'er didn't want to study the collections of classics and history in the academy and the classics of saints, it would be better to let him learn what he likes earlier.
Although Yuan Wei was strict with himself, he was very open-minded in educating his children, so he said to little Yuan Xi: "Xier, now you are quite sensible. What are your plans for the future?"
In the more turbulent times, children appear to be more precocious. If the girl is Yuan Xi's age, she may have already made an engagement. Although Yuan Xi usually looks very out-of-the-box and a bit naughty, But he is a very thoughtful child, which is inseparable from Yuan Shao's education method.
Little Yuan Xi's face slowly became solemn. He bowed deeply to his grandfather Yuan Puppet. His long black hair hung down, and his handsome face had a pair of smart eyes. He simply said: "I would like to learn how to be an official." , protect the glory of my Yuan family for the third generation!"
Cao Cao on the side looked at this little guy who was one year younger than his son Cao Ang with slight surprise and exclaimed.
An inexplicable light flashed in Yuan Wei's everlasting eyes, because he felt the ambition of his grandson. This made Yuan Wei secretly happy, but at the same time worried about the future position of the head of the Yuan family. There would be no accidents. Yuan Wei shook his head gently, feeling that his intuition was incredible, and Xi'er was still young.
Yuan Shao on the side saw that the fire was almost done and said calmly: "In that case, today my father will give you the name Xianyi. I hope that in the future you can calm the chaos and calm the people, be powerful and prosperous, and make the family powerful."
Little Yuan Xi's dark and shining eyes flashed with appreciation, and he seemed quite satisfied with the name.
In fact, Yuan Shao's move today is the same as Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty introducing his son Qianlong in front of his father Kangxi. They are both manifestations of the power struggle within the family.
Yuan Wei also laughed heartily and said happily: "This is the second generation of my family!" Speaking of which, Yuan Wei still admired his adopted son Yuan Shao very much. Now that he sees that his grandson is as scheming as Yuan Shao, he He seemed very happy, but deep down there was a hidden worry. As a long-established family ranked among the best in the world, the power struggle within the Yuan family was also fierce. Yuan Wei did not want the scene of brothers fighting against each other to appear in his family.
The summer of 182 AD was extremely hot, much higher than in previous years. Some people said that it was a sign of war, and he was right. This person was Cao Cao. Cao Cao was a good friend of his father and was naturally a frequent visitor to the Yuan Mansion. Little Yuan Xi often looked at him secretly through the cracks in the door. Cao Cao was calm and sophisticated, with ruthlessness in his eyes, which was completely different from the elegance of his father Yuan Shao. .
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world."
In the 183rd year of the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao shouted loudly, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, sweeping the world in an instant with the force of a prairie fire.
The Yellow Turbans were so powerful that the imperial court was unable to suppress them. Emperor Ling was forced to accept Taichang Liu Yan's suggestion and changed the governorship of each state to the state shepherd, decentralizing power to local officials and allowing them to recruit troops and suppress the bandits on their own.
Although this move effectively wiped out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, it also officially kicked off the separatist rule among the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and sounded the death knell of the Han Dynasty.
In AD 183, the first year of Hanzhongping, the Yellow Turbans broke out everywhere and the world was in chaos. So far, the Han Dynasty that shouted "Everywhere the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, is Han"... The Han Dynasty that sealed the wolf to Xu, and strangled the stone Yanran... The Huns who fought and fled westward and northward, like mountains Likewise, the Han Dynasty, which suppressed the countries in the Western Regions and did not dare to raise their heads and take a breath... collapsed! In the following hundreds of years, the princes fought in chaos, the Three Kingdoms were established, Sima usurped the Wei Dynasty, the Five Husbands disrupted China, and Yiguan crossed to the south.
Later, Emperor Ling died, and Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and disrupted the government, draining the last trace of the great man's heritage.
At this time, Yuan Xi, who was already seven years old, was brought to Gao Jing's home in Gaolangzhong with Yuan Shao to visit his aunt. Little Yuan Xi, who stayed in the backyard, was practicing calligraphy alone. It was already the end of March in Yangchun. He raised his head and Looking out the window, there is a green plum forest, and the green plums on the treetops are already vaguely mature. Thinking of these sour and sweet green plums, little Yuan Xi can't help but feel fluid in his mouth, and he feels a bit like looking at the plum trees to quench his thirst.
Yuan Xi is just a seven-year-old child. Although he has a mature soul in his body, the memory of his past life is fragmented, and his body's instincts have a great influence on Yuan Xi. He has practiced calligraphy patiently for so long, but now he has fallen into a bottleneck. But it really made him a little impatient, and the word "irritability" was the most taboo word in writing, so he decided to pick some green plums to eat.
There were no drinks in this era, so fruit became little Yuan Xi's favorite. Xuncan walked out of the house and came to the plum forest. Smelling the fragrance of green plums, his impetuous mood calmed down.
Little Yuan Xi stood in the plum forest, and found with some sadness that his height could not reach the green plum trees. It seemed that he had really become the legendary "looking at the plum trees to quench his thirst"...
At this time, little Yuan Xi heard the rustling sounds on the treetops. He originally thought they were birds on the treetops, but when he took a closer look, he saw an extremely flexible girl picking green plums on the tree. This made him Little Yuan Xi was greatly surprised.
Little Yuan Xi subconsciously crossed his little hands, which was his usual action when thinking. A sly look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in that childish voice: "Catch the thief!" The voice was not too loud, But it was sudden. After all, there was no one in the plum forest at this time, except for little Yuan Xi and the figure moving gracefully on the treetops.
The girl was really startled. She stepped on the air and fell from the tree. Below was the little Yuan Xi who caught her. Little Yuan Xi really felt trapped in a cocoon at this time. This girl who looked like she was only seven or eight years old. The child fell directly onto his body. Fortunately, the tree was not too high, otherwise both of them would have been injured.
Little Yuan Xi was directly pressed to the ground by the girl. The fresh smell of the girl's body lingered on the tip of his nose, which made little Yuan Xi feel slightly excited. However, the pain coming from his body made Yuan Xi frown slightly, with a look on his face. A painful look.
The girl rubbed her head, stood up, and looked at the boy under her with a slightly confused look. The confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared, and then there was a look of astonishment. Little Yuan Xi looked innocently Looking at this girl, she looks very pretty, and she doesn't look like a snitch in her clothes. It seems that this girl should be considered a member of the Gao family.
The girl looked at the sculpted boy under her, and the astonishment in her eyes gradually disappeared. The boy's dark and deep eyes made the girl feel inexplicably panicked, but she seemed to have thought of something, and something appeared on her face. With a hint of anger, he said to little Yuan Xi: "Hey, did you scare me just now? No, why have I never seen you before? Who are you?"
Little Yuan Xi felt that she was really unlucky today. Why did she suddenly start to play pranks just now? A girl who can pick things from trees must be a lively girl. Little Yuan Xi continued to pretend With a pitiful look, he said weakly: "Little sister, can you get off of me first?"
When the girl heard the word "little sister", her anger subsided slightly, but she still lay on top of little Yuan Xi. The girl unscrupulously pinched little Yuan Xi's sculpted little face and chuckled. : "First tell me who you are. You just shouted to catch the thief. I think you are the little thief. I am not a thief. My name is Gao Yue."
Little Yuan Xi regretted it to death. He could only reply: "Sister, my name is Yuan Xi. I came to visit my aunt with my father. I got impatient writing in the backyard, so I came to the forest to get some air. Unexpectedly, I saw the young lady here...picking green plums...so I thought you were a snitch..."
When Gao Yue heard the word "Yuan Xi", a strange look appeared in her eyes. At this time, her cheek was only two or three inches away from Yuan Xi. The two of them could hear each other's heartbeat and feel each other's breathing. Gao Yue Yue came back to her senses, her cheeks turned red, and then she stood up from Yuan Xi nervously. Her attitude made a 180-degree turn. She gently lifted Yuan Xi up and helped him arrange his clothes. Every move he made became... Extremely demure...
If the fierce look of the girl just now was not still imprinted in his mind, he would really wonder if the girl has changed. Why is she so abnormal...
Gao Yue looked at the boy with interest. Although he was young, his whole body was filled with the fragrance of ink and bookish, but he always looked lazy. It's no wonder that Yuan Xi came to this world to do The things she does most are reading, writing, and self-cultivation, and she is always taught by people like Yuan Wei who have a family education. It is impossible not to have outstanding temperament. Gao Yue has a reserved smile on her face, as if she has transformed into a As a noble lady, she said gently to little Yuan Xi: "Brother Xi, do you want to eat green plums? How about my sister helping you pick them?"
Little Yuan Xi looked at Gao Yue warily, her mind racing, and she knew Gao Yue's thoughts almost instantly, so she nodded, pretending to be cheerful and said: "Okay, little sister, I didn't see anything today. .”
Gao Yue felt relieved for a while after hearing this. If his father knew about his actions, he would definitely be scolded. Now Yuan Xi is very discerning, but it's a pity... In that real nightmare, he was a young man. Where is the infatuated man who died young...
Is it really fate? Who can say for sure. Gao Yue pinched Yuan Xi's face with pity.
While eating plums, he sat lazily on the ground, exuding a sense of leisure and calmness all over his body. Gao Yue couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xi, aren't you surprised why I'm scurrying around in the trees?"
Little Yuan Xi's little face was bathed in the morning light. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like a lazy cat. He didn't seem to care at all and said, "Why?"
Suddenly their eyes met each other, but they looked at each other silently and silently.
……………………
After a long time, Gao Yue asked with a smile: "Brother Xi, what is your future ideal?"
Without even thinking about it, little Yuan Xi blurted out: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!" He himself did not believe this.
Seeing Gao Yue's half-understood look, Xiao Yuan Xi felt that he was pretending to be a bit too much, so he straightened his long hair again and made a big turn: "Of course, this is impossible, I have to do it Well, it's very simple, just go with the flow and live your life leisurely..."
Gao Yue tapped his forehead dotingly and said softly: "My brother really has no ambitions. The first sentence he said was very majestic, but the last sentence was a bit irresponsible. A man should have his own ambitions." and responsibility.”
Little Yuan Xi yawned lazily, stood up and stretched, bowed to Gao Yue and said, "I will follow my sister's instructions. I understand. No, from now on, you are my sister."
Gao Yue's helpless smile, her delicate and lovely appearance looked even more holy in the morning light, which made Yuan Xi a little wary. She really looked like a childhood sweetheart.
As the leading scholarly family in the Han Dynasty, the Yuan family's ancestral home is naturally not bad. Although it looks very simple, it has a certain elegance. There is a dense peach forest behind the ancestral home. Whenever spring comes, peach trees are everywhere. Huā is a great scenic spot. There is also a small lake in the forest. By the lake is a waterside pavilion specially built by the Yuan family. In his spare time, Yuan Wei likes to bring a fishing rod and a book, and put a lounge chair in the pavilion to relax. You can spend an afternoon leisurely.
In addition to attending lectures at the Imperial Palace every five days, little Yuan Xi also had to go to the Yuan Family School to receive the so-called enlightenment education. This enlightenment education was an abbreviated version of some Confucian classics. After all, it seemed that this era still There is no such thing as the Three Character Classic.
Of course, this clan school is like a primary school in later generations. Naturally, it is not just the Yuan clan members who study there. There are also many children from other aristocratic families and some children from poorer families. Yingchuan Academy is like a middle school and university in later generations. Those who can enter Yingchuan Academy will definitely achieve great results in the future. Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, etc. all studied in Yingchuan Academy.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second year of Zhongping (184), and Yuan Xi was already eight years old. In the past two years, he had received personal instruction from Yuan Wei, and of course practiced calligraphy hard. He had achieved some success, although he still had not reached the level of the founder of the sect. At this time, he was attending the Yuan Family School.
In the bright study hall, the gentleman holding a ruler in his hand was loudly explaining the abbreviated version of "Chun Qiu", while Yuan Xi buried his head and slept greedily, chewing in his dreams the abbreviated version of "Chun Qiu". The accompanying annotations on Sun Tzu's Art of War were naturally annotated by the late veteran general Huangfu Gui, who is now Huangfu Song's uncle. It can deeply embody the essence of this general's strategy. I am afraid that only those from a family like the Yuan family can Only people can borrow it.
Sitting next to Yuan Xi was naturally Gao Jing's daughter Gao Yue. With Yuan Xi constantly being cute to Gao Jing, his cheap uncle, he finally agreed that Gao Yue should also come to the Yuan clan school, and Yuan Xi's The purpose was simple, just to wake him up when he clicked on him to answer questions... This reason made Gao Yue, who was originally extremely excited, roll her eyes.
The gentleman in the classroom glanced at Yuan Xi's corner inadvertently, with a hint of anger on his face. He didn't expect that the son of the famous Yuan Shao could be so lazy, but what surprised the gentleman was that every time he asked this kid to get up to answer a question, he was so lazy. The answers were fluent, which made Mr. Mengxue, who wanted to punish Yuan Xi, very unhappy. This time he really didn't believe in evil, so he slapped the ruler on his hand, and then said angrily: "Yuan Xi, what are you doing? I stand up!"
Gao Yue, who was beside Yuan Xi, quickly pinched Yuan Xi's waist with her small hands. Yuan Xi stood up instantly like a spring. There was a burst of good-natured laughter from all around. There was only a little girl not far away who was only six or seven years old. She looked at Yuan Xi with contempt. It was her first time to come to the Yuan Family School and she had long noticed this "bad boy" who had been sleeping since class.
Yuan Xi looked lazy and showed no signs of panic at all. He just said politely: "I wonder if you have any advice, sir?"
The teacher naturally knew that the things in this textbook might not be difficult for this little guy with evil talents. He suddenly thought of something, so he scolded him with a sneer: "You usually only like to sleep, wasting time, and you have nothing to do." So what does talent matter? Now that the emperor is wise and adopts the Ming Sutra to select scholars, do you think you can pass the exam like this?"
Yuan Xi thought to himself that this teacher really had the style of a later Chinese teacher, so he said capriciously: "Fame and fame are like floating clouds to me. Besides, even if I sleep every day, don't I still master the content you teach?" Joke, by virtue of With the prominent background of the Yuan family, Yuan Xi needs to be as knowledgeable as ordinary students in recruiting scholars? That is the way for children from poor families.
The teacher's face turned red due to Yuan Xi's arrogant words. He suppressed the anger in his chest and said, "Since you regard fame as nothing but a cloud, what do you care about?"
Yuan Xi smiled, with a carefree and uninhibited look on his unparalleled handsome face. He said casually: "I only love beauty. Those who love others are not talented enough, so it is better to focus on color."
On one side, Gao Yue rolled her eyes wildly and pinched Yuan Xi hard. This boy actually thought about beauty at this age, and he openly said that he was a good person. It was really... well, it was useless. There are no words to describe his deviance...
There was a look of surprise on the face of the six or seven-year-old girl, and then the expression on her face became even more disdainful. She was the daughter of Yilang Cai Yong, her name was Cai Yan, she could write poetry at the age of three, and her manners were elegant and decent. She was deeply loved by Cai Yong and regarded as the apple of his eye. However, Cai Yong and Yuan Xi's father, Yuan Shaozheng, were at odds with each other. Cai Yan also seemed to be unhappy with Yuan Xi, as if they were born with each other. But later it turned out that enemies never got together.
Yuan Xi's words made the entire library booed. The teacher could no longer suppress his anger and shouted: "Yuan Xi! Get out of here!"
Yuan Xi cupped his hands, his behavior still had a natural nobility, and he replied calmly: "I obey your order, I just expressed my thoughts, but I am not at fault."
Then Yuan Xi walked out of the school hall while yawning. The teacher was so angry that he was furious, but he did not dare to vent his anger on Yuan Xi. Who gave Yuan Xi a noble status?
