Straight man of steel

Chapter 71

After passing through the Taibai Ancient Road in the Qinling Mountains, it is considered to have entered the jurisdiction of the internal history.

Just such a road from Shu County to Chang'an, I just walked for a whole month and a half, and I don't know how many days it will take to reach Chang'an.

As a result, Tian Tian felt like he had seen a ghost, he immediately cultivated his body and mind as soon as he left Hanzhong County.

The three scholars who traveled with Zhang Yuan had never left Shu County, and they didn't care about Tian Tian's procrastination on the way. They came out to learn knowledge, and traveling is also a way to increase knowledge.

"Master Zhang, it is only at the feet of the Emperor that you can see so many people gathered in one place."

Tian Tian said that he was going to Chang'an, but for some reason he didn't choose the nearest road, instead he took a detour to Maoxiang to the north of the Yellow River, and chose to stay here for a rest.

This is probably the busiest place in the world right now. Tens of thousands of people are working day and night to build the palace where Liu Che will live after his death.

"After decades, this place will become a bustling city."

Everyone agrees with what Zhang Yuan said. These craftsmen who built the mausoleum will eventually stay here, and Liu Che will also migrate the population to guard it.

They have already come here, it is impossible for Tian Tian to take Zhang Yuan to Chang'an, and it is as if he is deliberately avoiding Chang'an.

"My lord, isn't our trip going to Chang'an?"

Zhang Yuan walked up to Tian Tian and asked him.

"You are just a commoner. Even if I insist on taking you to Chang'an City, I will be interrogated. Besides, my father is currently unemployed. He is not in Chang'an City, but in Changling City."

Tian Tian's words clearly contained contempt, but Zhang Yuan has never been treated with good looks by Tian Tian all this way, if he had known that he would accept it without arguing at Wen Weng's banquet.

After knowing where the destination was, Zhang Yuan returned to his seat and sat down.

"Master Zhang, don't you have a title?"

One of the three scholars traveling with him was named Degree, and he suddenly asked Zhang Yuan.

"I have never been to the battlefield, nor have I served as an official. Naturally, I am alone. The title is too far away."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the others felt as if they had seen a monster.

Isn't it weird not to have a title?

"Could it be possible that the three of you have titles?"

Zhang Yuan did not believe that the three humble scholars who had just come out of the Literature Abode could have titles. If they could have hereditary titles, they wouldn't be called poor scholars.

"We all have titles, and I owe it to my father Yu Yin to be a public servant, and Zhuang and Ren are also doctors."

Having stayed behind closed doors for the past few years, Zhang Yuan had no idea what ordinary people in the Han Dynasty were like. The people he had dealt with in Linqiong before were either merchants or nobles.

It would be difficult for a merchant to become a clerk without going to the battlefield, let alone having a title. As for the nobility, the reason why people are nobility is not because of the privileges that the title brings them.

"Where do you get your titles from?"

Anyway, he is already regarded as a monster by others, so if you don’t understand, just ask.

"The emperor bestows rewards or trades with others, but public service is the highest title that common people can obtain.

My father is a public servant, Emperor Jing awarded him several times, and my father added the extra rank to me. "

This time Zhang Yuan finally understood why Tian Tian said that he was a commoner, and both of them had a title.

"Thank you Brother Cheng for clarifying my doubts."

Although Tian Tian has a bad attitude towards Zhang Yuan, they were brought in because of Zhang Yuan after all. Han people value righteousness, and everyone is grateful to Zhang Yuan.

"It's a trivial matter, but I have to advise Mr. Zhang, you have to find a way to buy a first-class title when you get to the place.

This place under the emperor's feet is not as remote as our Shu County. The laws here are strict. If you accidentally break the law in the future, you can use your title to block the crime. "

The degree is sincerely for Zhang Yuan's good, and Zhang Yuan will definitely listen to what this kind of person says.

"I understand, thank you Brother Cheng for the warning."

Tian Tian's stay in Mao Township was just to fill his stomach. It's not far from Changling City. After eating, Zhang Yuan and the others set out on the road again.

And this time, seeing that Zhang Yuan didn't understand anything, he got into Zhang Yuan's carriage alone and began to tell Zhang Yuan something about the emperor and Chang'an.

Only then did Zhang Yuan know that Tian Tian didn't deliberately avoid Chang'an, but that there was no way to get from Qinling to Changling in a straight line.

This large piece of land southwest of Chang'an City is the Shanglin Garden, the royal garden of the Han Dynasty. Without a token, there is no way to pass.

After leaving Mao Township, he headed east all the way, Tian Tian saw that it was getting late, even if he arrived at Changling City at night, he couldn't get in, and when he passed Wei City halfway, he stayed overnight.

It was almost noon when they arrived at the final destination Changling City the next day.

After Tian Tian led Zhang Yuan and the four of them into the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, he found someone to take the four of them to a side hall for dinner, and they disappeared.

Seeing the stir-fried vegetables on the table, Zhang Yuan felt that at least he didn't have to worry about eating when he came here.

"Brother Cheng, I don't know if we can see Marquis Wu'an."

The degree swallowed the food wrapped in his mouth, drank a saliva and said.

"Stop dreaming, how could someone like the Marquis of Wu An see us, but Mr. Zhang will definitely be received by Marquis Wu An in the next few days.

Mr. Zhang, although the few of us will return to Shu County after we finish our studies in Chang'an, don't forget the friendship we have made along the way.

It will soar into the sky in the future, maybe we still have something to ask on your head. "

Regarding this kind of remark, Zhang Yuan could only laugh it off, and it would not be a good thing to have any relationship with Tian Fu.

Liu Che's thoughts about his uncle were not the same as when he was a child.

"The three of you are just joking. Fate is too much. How can we see clearly where the road ahead leads? Let's work together to encourage each other."

Zhang Yuan raised his wine glass and said to the three of them.

"Young master Zhang is right, let's encourage each other."

"mutual encouragement."

After dinner, they separated when Zhang Yuan was still there. It should be Tian Tian's order. A servant brought a bamboo slip to the degree. With such things in hand, they left Wu'anhou Mansion, and Zhang Yuan was taken to a guest room.
