Huan Rong

"Han Shu Di Ji" records that in the tenth year of Changhe, Sun Zhiyu, the king of Liang, was established as the crown prince.

A short sentence, recorded in the history books, is no more than a dozen words.

From the perspective of later generations, this is the process of continuation of the dynasty, and there is no need for special attention.Emperor Xuan had no son, so it is not surprising to have a nephew.

But within the Huan family at that time, it actually caused quite a "shock".

Don't get me wrong, this "vibration" is not that "vibration", and it does not mean that the Huan clan is dissatisfied with the emperor's choice.

The facts are just the opposite.

Brothers of the same generation as Huan Si, Huan Shiqian, Huan Qian, etc., all felt relieved when they knew that the crown prince was selected.It's not about Huan Shixiu's "mood" because he was worried that this brother who would pick up the door frame at the slightest disagreement would suddenly lose his temper. Several people would definitely get together, send out invitations, and hold a big feast to celebrate the selection of the heir by the emperor and the success of the dynasty. Continued, the cornerstone of the imperial court is stable.

As the person involved, Huan Zhiyu knew that such a day would come.

After Huan Shixiu entered Beijing, he comforted his father in turn: it was not that his son had his head caught by the door and took the initiative to fight for the upper hand, but that the brother who entered Beijing at the same time was too cunning and dug a pit for him to jump in together.

"My son is several years younger than the two elder brothers." Being younger, he is naturally no more "scheming" than the other party.

"From brother Yuanfu, Er still has to stay in the palace." Others can run out to have fun, but he can only stay in Taicheng. It is self-evident who has the advantage.

"Brother Cong persuaded King Gao Ping to go to sea with the fleet. However, the situation at sea is unpredictable, and we are scheduled to return in March, but there is still no one in May."

Having said that, Huan Zhiyu tensed her cheeks, grinding her back molars hard.

As early as when he first arrived in Jiankang, he had a hunch that Huan Yin and Huan Zhen had the potential to be brothers.Especially Huan Yin, the absolute leader among them!

Facts have proved that he was completely right!

From the time they boarded the ship for the first time, the two of them were afraid that they had already made up their minds, and on the pretext that they were about the same age as Huan Wei and Huan Xuan, they would get together and talk about everything.

At first, Huan Zhiyu was kept in the dark and didn't pay much attention.As time grew, he finally found out that something was wrong!

It turned out that these partners plotted against him. In order to set sail for themselves and realize their childhood ideals, they ignored the brotherhood and pushed him into the deep pit without blinking their eyes!

They spared no effort to dig out a deep pit with their shovels. When Huan Zhiyu wasn't paying attention, they kicked him into the pit quickly!

Standing at the bottom of the pit, Huan Zhiyu was a little dazed.

When he realized it, he had already been assigned various courses to study political affairs with Huan Rong and make final preparations for the crown prince's grand ceremony.

Every time he thinks of this, the boy looks at the sky at a 45-degree angle and shed two lines of tears.

It's too much to co-operate with him while he is young, isn't it? !Too bullying, isn't it? !

After listening to his son's narration, Huan Shixiu was speechless for a long time.He was also cheated. Compared with what happened to his son, he could at least find some comfort.

Seeing what Huan Shixiu was thinking, Huan Zhiyu's eyes widened.

According to the official words, this is definitely basing one's own happiness on the pain of others, is it really a real father? !

Similar situations do not only appear in Tianjia.

From the top nobles like Wang and Xie, to the middle-class gentry in Jiankang, to the upstarts in the court, as the children in the family grew up, more or less, similar situations appeared.

Take the Wang family of Langya as an example. Wang Xianzhi had difficulty in having children in his early years. He married Xi Daomao for many years and had only one daughter, who unfortunately died. The couple were very sad for a period of time.

With the birth of Wang Jingzhi, God seems to have taken special care of the lineage of calligraphers. In a few years, Xi Daomao gave birth to two sons and a daughter, Wang Xianzhi had both sons and daughters, and there were seven or eight more nephews and nieces.

From withered bloodlines to flourishing branches and leaves, Langya Wang's direct branch has undergone earth-shaking changes.

What is even more enviable is that Mr. Wang's lords are all talented and talented, and they have the potential to stand shoulder to shoulder with Xie's Yushu back then.The girl from the Wang family is intelligent and smart, and she is still young. There are letters from her family who want to marry each other.

It stands to reason that if the family is so prosperous, the elders should be happy.

The situation is quite different.

As the gentlemen gradually matured and elected officials one after another, they all began to run out with one mind.

At this time, the capital has been moved to Chang'an.

If the gentlemen want to show their talents and realize their childhood dreams, they must leave the Northland and go to Jiankang in the south or serve as officials in the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Needless to say, the functions of the Protectorate of the Western Regions can be seen from the troops stationed in the border states.

Jiankang, the southern capital, is related to an important economic pillar of Huanhan: sea trade.

Jiankang established the Maritime Protectorate, which is in charge of the fleet dispatched by the imperial court.Private fleets need to go here for record filing and receive documents representing the identity of maritime merchants.

With this document, maritime merchants can get various conveniences, and they can also get the protection of official ships.Of course, the taxes that should be paid cannot be missed.

Overseas businessmen who want to board the ship need to pay an additional fee. After verifying their identity, they can receive the relevant certificates.If you do not have a wooden sign representing your identity, you will be severely punished if you try to mix with a sea ship, regardless of whether it is an official ship or a civilian ship.

If you dare not accept it, it is easy to lock up, and it is possible to throw it into the sea.

The reason for the harsh methods is probably because some spies from Fanbang took advantage of the tribute to spy on Huanhan's shipbuilding workshop.What's more, they bought craftsmen and boatmen to get blueprints for shipbuilding.

Afterwards, it was found that no less than [-] craftsmen and boatmen were involved.

After this incident, the court's management of the workshop became more and more strict, and it was necessary not to let the incident happen again.

When Wang Jingzhi became an official, he took the initiative to invite him to Jiankang.

With him taking the lead, one of the princes of the Langya Wang family counts as one, and few stay in Chang'an.When Wang Xianzhi and others realized something was wrong and wanted to "recall" him, how could they find him back!

If you can't catch the big ones, you can only guard against the small ones.

This is also no way.

The most direct consequence is that Wang Jingzhi's youngest brother and his younger brother successfully fell into the trap.There are elders standing around the deep pit, holding shovels and staring at them, and the young men can't get out even if they want to climb.

According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Wen Wen, the court was full of talented people.All the officials selected by the gentry are young and talented.

This is a polite statement.

If you were not welcome, the older girl ran away without a trace, went out in all kinds of ways, and couldn't find her.Being cheated at a young age, he really couldn't get out, so he could only hold his nose and carry the heavy burden, and inherit the position of patriarch. Isn't it possible to be "young and promising"?

The same situation appeared in different high gates.

To describe it in the words of later generations, what is the highest state of cheating brothers?This is!
