In the autumn of the first year of Jianxing, the official road outside Cheguan City in Chengdu was bustling with people and vehicles.
Although the Han Dynasty has been in troubled times in recent years. First, it suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Yiling, which severely damaged its vitality and national strength. Later, the emperor died of illness in Yong'an Palace in April this year. During this period, some young people actually took the opportunity to cause chaos in vain. For a while, the big man was in a precarious situation, and even reached a critical moment of life and death.
In December of the second year of Zhangwu, when the late emperor was still recovering from his illness, Huang Yuan, the prefect of Hanjia, first raised his troops and refused to defend, ignoring the imperial edicts. Later, he took advantage of Prime Minister Zhuge's departure for Yong'an and left Chengdu empty and rebelled. The attack on Linqiong County caused three shocks in the capital in one day. Fortunately, the rebellion was put down with the advice of the important minister Yang Hong, Huang Yuan was captured alive and escorted to Chengdu to be beheaded, which greatly frightened some thieves with evil intentions.
Unexpectedly, one wave after another, the powerful Yong Kai of Yizhou County in Nanzhong secretly contacted Gaoding, the Yi King of Yuexun County, Zhu Bao, the governor of Zangda County, and others to instigate the rebellion frantically. All three counties in Nanzhong were opposite. However, the country has lost nearly half of its territory and more than half of its troops in recent years. It is really impossible to immediately go south to quell the rebellion. What's more, it is said that there are Wu people behind the Nanzhong rebellion. If it is not handled properly, it may lead to another Jingzhou war. Change. Therefore, Prime Minister Zhuge adopted the strategy of farming and cultivating valleys and seclusion to calm the people, and did not take any major action against the rebellion in the south for the time being.
Up to now, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was entrusted by Emperor Zhaolie to do his best to assist Emperor Liu Chan. He worked hard and slept late at night, eating late at night, and finally stabilized the chaotic situation of the court. In addition, Chengdu is the capital of the country after all, with a large number of registered residents and a large number of merchants. Therefore, the capital that had been depressed a few days ago has regained some prosperity.
This morning, the light rain that had been falling all night finally stopped. The autumn sunshine is particularly comfortable on people. The scenery in the suburbs of Chengdu has become more and more charming. Many noble people also took this opportunity to go out of the city to play.
There is a village ten miles away from the east of the city called Chenjiacun, with more than two hundred households, more than half of whom are members of the Chen clan. Recently, several noble manors have been built here, which frightened the villagers. Since the nobles' manors were built, although the common people did not know the identities of the nobles and had only seen the servants coming in and out from a distance, the bullying of men and women and the taking of people as slaves had never happened. On the contrary, the county's The assistant officials seeking thieves (asking for thieves were the policemen in the Han Dynasty) and the villagers Zuo Likui became friendly when they came to the village for official business, which greatly benefited the villagers of the village.
Under the big locust tree in the east of the village, several corner children were playing a game of horseback riding. Next to them, a young man wearing linen straight-skirted dark clothes was watching with interest.
This young man is about twenty-three or four years old. He is more than seven feet tall and has an average appearance. He has fair skin, but he can be called handsome. He was not from the village, but was passing by and found out that Chengdu was just ahead, so he asked for a bowl of water and rested for a while.
"It seems that children more than a thousand years ago also loved to play this kind of war game. Unfortunately, I came a little late and didn't have the chance to meet Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, but fortunately I still had the opportunity to meet Wuhou, Zhao Zilong is a hero." The young man murmured to himself.
Don't ask why this young man said such strange words, asking means traveling through time. Don't ask him how he traveled through time. Anyway, he just traveled through time. Sometimes, time travel is so simple and unreasonable.
The young man's name is Yang Qing. He has just worked for a year after graduating from college. He returned to his hometown in Chongqing during the holidays to celebrate the New Year. Unexpectedly, an epidemic broke out, so he has been staying at home for two months. Although he was extremely bored in his hometown, he still lived a dream life of sleeping until he woke up naturally. One day after ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Qing slept until he woke up naturally as usual. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that his familiar hometown had turned into a mountain forest. He was not lying on the bed, but lying on the grass. After confirming that it was not a dream, he saw a woodcutter dressed in ancient costume coming from a distance, and he knew that he might also have traveled through time.
After figuring out the situation, Yang Qing didn't panic. Since he hadn't found a way to go back yet, he might as well accept the status quo. After knowing that he was still in Jiangzhou, he prepared to take a good tour of the land of Bashu that existed more than a thousand years ago and see if he could do something in his career.
Along the mountain road, we first went to a nearby village and borrowed a pair of clothes from a relatively well-off family to change into. Although the owner was not at home when we borrowed the money, it was still a borrowing. Can we ask for a time traveler? After remembering the location of this family, Yang Qing walked towards Jiangzhou City.
He knew that the Shu Han minister closest to him was Li Yan, who was in charge of Yong'an. He was also one of Liu Bei's entrustees in Yong'an, and was second only to Zhuge Liang in the Shu Han court. Yang Qing is also from Jiangzhou, so it stands to reason that he has a great chance of joining this close and high-status boss. However, Yang Qing, who knows some history, does not want to deal with Li Duhu, who has scales on his belly. , after all, the first choice for him to serve was the famous Zhuge Wuhou in the universe.
Therefore, after hanging around in Jiangzhou for more than two months, Yang Qing followed a group of cloth merchants to Chengdu. With the knowledge of later generations, during his time in Jiangzhou, although Yang Qing made several mistakes because his hair and language did not match the Three Kingdoms period, and he did not do well, he never went hungry. In order not to arouse suspicion, during this period of time, he carefully created a persona for himself as a refugee and an orphan, and gained a preliminary familiarity and understanding of the language, social etiquette, customs, etc. of the Three Kingdoms period. After his hair grew long, he pulled it into a bun and wrapped it in a square towel, and left Jiangzhou pretending to be the accountant of the cloth merchant named Li.
There was no words all the way. Yang Qing declined the offer of businessman surnamed Li to stay and left the team on the official road a hundred miles away from Chengdu. He had his own reasons for leaving the team midway. After all, he was about to officially enter the court. During the journey, in order to quickly enter the officialdom and catch the eye of that person, the original personality became very weak. I had to use a more eye-catching personality to catch up with those important events. Otherwise, God allowed me to return to the Three Kingdoms and not participate in any major events. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
After withdrawing his thoughts, Yang Qing was about to get up and enter the city. At this moment, two young and strong men supported an old man and walked quickly towards the west of the village. They all looked panicked, and the old man looked angry.
Just then, the old man said to the two of them: "How could such a thing happen? Have you sent someone to report it to the government?" The man on the left hurriedly replied: "I haven't gone yet. Isn't this the first time to report your decision?" The old man He said angrily: "I'm confused, can't you send one of you to report to the official first? Don't you know the importance of our village?" Seeing the old man's anger, the man who replied wiped the sweat from his face: "My great-nephew is confused, I Go now, waiter, support your uncle."
Yang Qing looked at the backs of several people and thought: "This old man looks like an upright or village elder. He needs to report to the official. Something big must have happened in the village. Do you want to go take a look? It seems that he is on his way." Forget it, it’s better to ignore it, it’s important to enter the city.” While he was thinking, another group of villagers, old and young, came running from a distance, carrying hoes. He took a closer look and saw that his father-in-law, who had given him water not long ago, was also in the crowd. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and asked: "My father-in-law, I would like to ask what happened. Why are everyone running to the same place?"
"It's you. The man from the Chen San family in front of him just hanged himself. I'm going to pay attention to Nan." When the old man saw someone blocking his way, he was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was the young man who had politely asked for water before, he calmed down and replied. ,
"I see, no wonder everyone is so anxious." "My father-in-law, I will help you get there. Although I am just a passer-by, how can I not repay the kindness of my father-in-law's bowl of water to all the fellow villagers?" Yang Qing said righteously. "Well, this is such a good man, then I'll be here for you." The old man was quite moved. This young man is a man who understands etiquette, but he was really tired after stopping.
Although Yang Qing is not a righteous person, he can still check and help when someone dies. In addition, it is also appropriate to satisfy his curiosity. He has never encountered such a thing as hanging himself. , Chinese people also have their own nature.
