"Ah chirp, ah chirp... Damn it, who is saying bad things about me behind my back!"
After sneezing several times in a row, Huo Guang couldn't help but rub his itchy nose.
At this moment.
Sima Qian, who was standing with him, smiled and said, "You must have caught a cold, or it was caused by the wind and cold. What does it have to do with others saying bad things about you behind your back?"
"Or?"
"Is there any special saying?"
Huo Guang immediately waved his hand and said, "Hey, I just said this casually, how can I say anything."
"Okay!" Sima Qian smiled and continued: "The lecture is in Quan Tai Palace. Did you win over the other four great scholars?"
Huo Guang nodded and replied: "I won, and now my Majesty is staying here to hold a apprenticeship ceremony for Prince Liu Ju."
Before the Liu Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had no heirs.
The crown prince has always been a major matter for the country. Even seven or eight years ago, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still very young, his uncle Tian Fu hooked up with Liu An, the king of Huainan. It is said that after Emperor Wu of Han dies, Liu An will be the most promising person to become emperor.
after all.
Liu An, King of Huainan, was the grandson of Emperor Gaozu.
However, no one expected that Wei Zifu, a real nobleman of the Wei and Huo families, would suddenly give birth to the first prince for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
exactly.
The original Empress Chen was deposed for being a demon in the palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, including all the officials in the court, had to pave the way for the future of the first prince in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.
then.
Without any objections, Wei Zifu, the nobleman who really made the Wei and Huo families rise, stepped into the Jiaofang Hall of Weiyang Central Palace and was crowned queen with the support of everyone.
Your Majesty now allows scribes like Dong Zhongshu to assist the prince Liu Ju in reading "Gongyang Chunqiu", which means that Gongyang theory will become the official school of the court.
Official science!
What's the meaning?
This means that even if the other four companies in the Spring and Autumn Five Legends join forces, they will not be as big as Gong Yang.
Of course, these are only the prospects that can be perceived currently.
The development of the story is always confusing. Who knows what will happen next?
Anyway, when Sima Qian heard Huo Guang say that Dong Gong had become a scribe who tutored the prince Liu Zhi, he was in a good mood and laughed and said: "Dong Sheng's knowledge, eloquence and knowledge are unparalleled. It is expected that he can win against the other four. thing."
Dong Sheng, a title of praise.
This is what Sima Qian wrote in his later historical records.
"Ah, yes..."
Huo Guang didn't know why Sima Qian was so excited. Looking at him, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he agreed casually.
At this time.
Sima Qian looked at Huo Guang again and asked: "By the way, Huo Yilang, I have been puzzled since I lost to you in the last calligraphy and paper competition. How did you create your paintings that are so lifelike and colorful?" "
"Are you talking about my oil painting of a girl on horseback?" Huo Guang said with a frown.
Sima Qian nodded immediately, but seeing Huo Guang's serious expression, he immediately changed his words and said, "Huo Yilang, please don't worry, Zi Chang has absolutely no intention of coveting your painting skills!"
No?
You didn’t even ask!
Huo Guang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, if brother Zi-eldest wants to learn, I can teach you!"
"Forehead..."
Sima Qian felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
He wanted to understand the creative technique of that painting, but Huo Guang added the word "teaching" to it.
In this case, wouldn't he have to worship Huo Guang as his teacher?
This is not okay.
I am already twenty years old, how can I call myself a teacher after this young man?
then!
Sima Qian immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm just asking casually."
"Oh, that's such a shame!" Huo Guang shrugged indifferently.
After chatting for a while, Huo Guang invited Sima Qian, the cheap senior brother, to come here to have a drink.
at the same time.
Various programs were also arranged for Sima Qian.
After the future Grand Historian had enjoyed himself, Huo Guang asked, "Brother Zizhang, what do you think of my restaurant?"
Sima Qian smiled and exchanged cups with Huo Guang, then replied: "Huo Yilang's Here Music program is dazzling and dazzling. It is really wonderful. Compared with Chang'an Music Restaurant, except for the beauty of the singer, Then there’s nothing wrong with it.”
Changan Le?
Huo Guang frowned and shook his head immediately: "Brother Zi, don't you know that Sang Hongyang poached the masters of Chang'an Le Restaurant from me? Even their business model is learned from me!"
"I really don't know about this." Sima Qian looked confused.
Maybe because he had a close relationship with the people in the Li family, he didn't want to talk about bad things. He immediately talked about other things and said, "I heard from the lecturer that Huo Yilang once had a lot of opinions about "Gongyang Chunqiu Biography". Same understanding!"
Different understanding?
In this day and age, it should be said to be deviant!
After thinking for a while, Huo Guang said, "No, no, I just read "Gongyang" for the first time and didn't understand its meaning."
"Brother Zi."
"Actually, I think that when Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn", he probably didn't have so many subtle words and great intentions. What do you think?"
When Sima Qian heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "So, Huo Guang, the Meng Xue disciple of the lecturer, actually supports the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Zhuan" in his heart?"
Huo Guang waved his hand and explained quickly: "No, no, I just said it casually. By the way. With the talent of the eldest brother, have you ever thought of writing a book similar to "Spring and Autumn"?"
actually.
What Huo Guang wants to say is the Li Sao's "Historical Records" without rhyme!
But Sima Qian obviously had no idea of compiling "Historical Records" at this time, so he shook his head and said: "My father is working on it. I haven't thought about it yet. After all, I am young and need to study more and read more."
Huo Guang then nodded and said, "Young people should have more fun!"
Play?
Sima Qian smiled lightly and didn't say much. While eating wine, I opened two more packages of crispy noodles.
Looking at the brightly colored character cards inside, I couldn't help but sigh: "Huo Yilang's card is exactly the same as the thing in that painting!"
"There are still some differences." Huo Guang shook his head.
At this moment.
Just listen to Sima Qian say: "I have a cousin named Sima Liang, who is younger than Huo Yilang, but I have seen this kind of card from him."
"Unexpectedly, this card turned out to be from Huo Yilang's Here and Here."
"It's just that the generals on this card don't quite fit the historical figures of the Warring States Period!"
Huo Guang suddenly laughed and said, "It's just a card. Brother Zi, you don't need to care about this. Come on, let's drink and drink..."
"..."
at the same time.
In the palace, Liu Ju, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was performing the apprenticeship ceremony. The scribe Dong Zhongshu began to explain the subtle meaning of "Gongyang Chunqiu Biography" to the prince of the Han Dynasty.
only.
Based on the character of Prince Liu Zhi.
How is it possible to listen to this kind of literature compiled from oral tradition?
Not to mention listening to it a second time!
If his father Liu Che had not told him before, he must study hard. Otherwise, I would have fallen asleep long ago.
In most movies and TV dramas, the character of the violent prince Liu Zhi is gentle and cowardly.
This is not the case!
It is recorded in the official history that although Liu Zhi was very afraid of his father, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he often did things in private that were contrary to the orders of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
To use an analogy.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked him to go west, and Liu Zhi
Will cowardly go west.
Wait for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to turn around.
The violent prince Liu Zhi would run eastward in a hurry.
No.
When Mr. Dong was tutoring Liu Ju on how to understand the subtle meanings in "Gongyang Chunqiu", the ruthless prince Liu Ju suddenly covered his head and said, "Mr. Dong, I feel dizzy today. Can you come back to read it some time later?" This "Ram"?"
Liu Zheng is the current only prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the future prince of the entire Han Dynasty.
Even Dong Zhongshu, who had regained his status as a scholar, did not dare to force the prince to study.
immediately.
Dong Zhongshu cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Highness is dizzy, then take a good rest. The old man will leave first and come back to give His Highness some guidance after a few days!"
"Thank you Mr. Dong for your understanding."
Prince Liu Ju immediately attacked Dong Zhongshu.
After Dong Zhongshu leaves.
Liu Zhi, who had been feeling dizzy just now, suddenly became energetic. At the same time, he said to his attendant, "Let's go out of the palace to play."
The accompanying attendant immediately said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Highness, isn't this bad? Your father asked us to study here. I heard that Your Majesty has always respected "Gongyang Chunqiu". If you don't read it well, then you will be Your Majesty will conduct random inspections personally, what will Your Highness do at that time?"
However.
However, the young prince Liu Ju smiled and said: "It is useless to study dead books. What's more, the former Taifu Shi Qing taught this book "Gongyang" many years ago. I have read it through once and there is no need to read it again. .”
"never mind."
"If you don't want to leave, then I can leave the palace alone."
When the attendant heard this, he immediately said, "No, no, no, Your Highness, I'd better go with you."
"For safety reasons."
"Do you think it's okay if we bring more servants?"
However.
Liu Zhi shook his head and said, "We are going out of the palace to have fun in private. You have to bring more servants with you. Do you think my father can't find me sneaking out of the palace? What a brain!"
Talking.
Then Liu Ju struck his accompanying attendant on the forehead.
After suffering a headache.
The accompanying attendant did not dare to say more.
later time.
Liu Ju skillfully sneaked out of the palace, asked his servant to get a carriage, came to the door of a house, and knocked on the door.
Soon.
A girl with snow-white skin opened the door. Seeing that the visitors were two young children, she immediately frowned and said, "Which family are you from? Why are you knocking on the door? Where are your adults?"
Liu Zhi smiled and said, "Sister is so beautiful, like a fairy in the sky."
Faced with these words, the girl frowned, stepped forward and tugged Liu Ju's cheek, and said, "At a young age, I imitated the tone of adults and teased women. It seems that the adults in the family are not good people either!"
This scene happened suddenly.
This made Liu Ju's accompanying attendant, his eyes wide open, immediately yelled: "How dare you, you witch, let go of your dirty hands."
"What did you say?"
The girl then gave the accompanying attendant a deathly look.
The accompanying attendant immediately did not dare to speak.
But Liu Ju was not afraid at all at this time. He smiled and knocked off the girl's slender hand, and said calmly: "Is this the mansion of Mr. Jiang in Xiaqiu? I heard that Mr. Jiang has studied "Gu Liang Chun Qiu Biography" for many years, especially I came to visit and ask for advice, and I hope it’s convenient for my sister.”
...
...
Another month has passed.
The scorching heat lasted for two whole months.
In some places, the drought is severe.
On the official road of the Han Dynasty heading northwest, a group of "green forest heroes" were ambushing on both sides of the road, preparing to hijack the grain inspector who was passing by today.
"Hey, so-and-so, are you sure there is a convoy escorting official rations passing here today?"
A man with a gangly face glared at the slightly gentle young man on the other side and shouted.
The slightly polite young man looked cowardly and replied: "Today, I asked about it and there is a convoy escorting food going to pass by. I heard that it is coming from the Western Region."
The middle-aged man with a gangly face was still very dissatisfied with this reply and cursed: "Since there is a convoy escorting food passing by, why don't you come?"
"Damn it, it's such a hot weather, hiding in this damn place, there are still mosquito bites."
"What if no convoy passes by?"
"Hmph!"
"I have to skin you alive and steam you in a pot."
After hearing this, the young man was so frightened that he could only murmur in a low voice: "There will be a convoy passing by, and there must be a convoy passing by to deliver grain!"
These words sounded like a prayer and a reply to the middle-aged man who was filled with gangsterism.
But the middle-aged man was very impatient at being bitten by mosquitoes, and immediately cursed: "What are you muttering about, are you scolding me?"
"No, it's not..."
The young man opened his mouth and was about to explain his behavior.
Then I heard someone shouting: "Look, a convoy is coming, it's a convoy carrying grain!"
"Shh, keep your voices down."
"When the escort officer comes in, we'll rush out and kill them."
For a while.
The sounds of the gangsters disappeared, replaced by the ghostly cries of summer insects in the jungles on both sides.
Close.
Closer.
Looking from afar, on the convoy carrying grain, there are sacks piled high on top of each other, all bulging!
This is not food, what else can it be?
They say that people die for money and birds die for food?
actually not.
Because people also died for food, especially in this ancient time when supplies were extremely scarce.
The bandits who were ambushing in the jungle on both sides suddenly became jealous when they looked at the food, and they were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
There is no irritation at all from being bitten by mosquitoes.
Until a certain moment.
The leader of the group stood up, raised his arms, and shouted, "Brothers, if you don't want to starve, just rush with me!"
"Kill all these *** officials and drag all the food back."
"Hahaha!"
"Stealing his dog emperor's food."
For a while.
Countless figures armed with messy weapons ran out from both sides and slaughtered the group of officials.
blood.
Like paint, it dyed the road red.
The leader of this group of gangsters, named Zhu Qian, is a famous bandit on the east road and has been committing crimes for countless years.
now.
He looked greedily at the captured grain convoy, completely ignoring the consequences of this move.
But at this moment.
A younger brother came forward and opened the sack. When he saw that what came out was a large handful of black soil, he immediately shouted in panic: "Boss, this is not food, this... what we robbed is soil." ah!"
"What? Earth?"
Zhu Qian's pupils shrank slightly, her face full of disbelief.
He immediately stepped forward and used a knife to cut open the other bulging sacks. When he found that they were also filled with black soil, he was dumbfounded.
"Tu? How could it be dirt?"
"Other places are suffering from drought and there is no food. Why are these damned Chang'an dignitaries transporting soil back to Chang'an with such a big fanfare? Are they full?"
"Fang Qing, you damn bitch!"
"Why don't you get over here quickly and tell me, what is this?"
"I, Zhu Qian, am a gangster, not a bandit! Tell me, we have wasted so much effort, why are we robbing all this soil?"
