Chu, Han and early Han Dynasty

(51)

I began to take out my father's things one by one without telling my elder brother, and hid them in the residence of the servants in the palace.At first, it was a few pieces of clothing, then, it was a table full of calligraphy and painting, and finally, it was Heng Chen and Ling Xu.

And when I started sorting out, I found that there were more rolls of yellowed cloth in those paintings. My heart was beating wildly with a premonition in my mind, and when I opened it, it was like the scrolls I had seen in the tent of Humenhou.It took many years for the black color to fade, and it was obvious that it had been traced many times before the brushstrokes were still vivid.

"Who is that?" I looked around in surprise, and saw Liu Hong standing behind me watching curiously, and then I realized something and lowered my head, "Sizhong...Hong didn't mean to..."

"Nothing." I put away the cloth in my hand and tied it up, "And you should call yourself 'Zhen'."

"Hong... I, I want to know who the person in the painting is... He is very similar to Shi Zhong, he belongs to Shi Zhong..."

"Father."

"Marquis Wencheng?...Hold on, I'm sorry..."

"nothing."

"Then, who is this person?" Most of the scrolls on the case had been unfolded, and he timidly pointed to another one and asked me, I couldn't help but gasp as I looked.

——Chen Ping.

"he is……"

Who is it?Called by age, uncles and others; by character, foxes; by official titles, lieutenant, Hubuhou, Qunihou, prime minister.And which ones are the real ones?To me, the most real him?

"It's my minister's..."

PS: In fact, very few emperors also use "望" to refer to themselves in unofficial occasions, which is as strange as when we say "I" is not "I" but "wu", "my lord" and "yu". = But for such a young child who is also a puppet emperor, this is the only way to make him realize his position.

(52)

When reviewing the book with the tautology, I will think of the scene when Han Xin explained the art of war to me many years ago.That was when he touched about 25, and I was only a child of three or four years old.Now that I am teaching Wei Chongyan, it seems like time has turned back, and things are different.

What I ask for tautology is indeed more strict than what Han Xin's father Chen Huhu asked for back then. I understand that this is too far-fetched, and I only hope...he will not repeat the same mistakes.He is like Han Xin, but not exactly the same. He is more impulsive and less talented.There will only be one soldier immortal, but there are still too many remaining dangers due to the death of the soldier immortal.

And how?The elder brother took him home and took responsibility for his life.Although Zhongnan is more dangerous than Zhongnan in Chang'an, there are not many people who can recognize him.I just hope that he can live in peace, even if he is not as brilliant as his father, but it is worse than the ups and downs, the sword is out of its sheath, and it is dusty again.

(53)

"It's time to crown the ceremony."

The elder brother was stunned before he realized what I said, and smiled and said that it was indeed time.Afterwards, when the auspicious time is selected, those who pay respects, and perform the crowning ceremony... take the word and become an adult.

"Etiquette is prepared, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced. The word is Kong Jia, and the scholar is suitable. It is suitable for the fake, and it will be protected forever. It is called Zi Yifu."

Son, wing.

What's the use of having wings?Both wings are bundled, and you can't spread your wings, so why open up the frontier?

But he still called, Yun Jue, Yun Jue.I didn't ask about it, but I understood the meaning of the word Yunjue to me.Yunjue, Zhang Yunjue, obtained from his father, the ultimate memorial.

I sometimes envy my father and the prime minister.

Can meet a confidant?

You can meet your confidant.

Even if we are separated?

Even if separated.

Then go find it.Uncle Sun Shaoqing is not Zhang Yunjue's confidant, but that doesn't mean no one will be.

(54)

Empress Lu summoned him alone, and all the attendants were dismissed.She is standing in the inner hall, and I am standing in the hall with my eyes down, obeying her orders.

Once, in the same situation, she ordered me to kill King Zhao, regardless of the fact that he was only an 11-year-old child.Now more than ten years have passed, during which she did not look for me again, she thought that the imminent detention will be wiped out, and she disappeared with Liu Ying's illness and licentiousness.

"Zhang Yilang."

"The minister is here."

"Now, there is no time to be courteous with Yilang." Her voice was as arrogant and ruthless as ever, "I have a question, can Yilang explain my doubts?"

"The minister should do his best."

"Then, Yilang knows." The tone of the voice suddenly rose, but the volume dropped, "In this world, is the surname Lu or Liu?"

An unstoppable shudder.

She asked directly and explained everything clearly in front of me.There is no way to avoid it, and there is no way to avoid it.I'm just confused and even confused, why... me?

And right now, there is no delay.

"I don't understand, I don't understand." The voice was steady, without waves, cold sweat dripped from the palms of his hands, "But I understand that this world is called Han."

I haven't seen her answer for a long time, but when I tried to glance up, I heard her say coldly: "It's all like this."

"Everyone in the Zhang family looks like this."

I don't know how to respond, but she doesn't need me to respond, so she just asked again: "Does Yilang know, who is the original Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty?"

"minister……"

"Marquis Wen Cheng."

Can't help but dumbfounded.

"But he refused. I wanted him to be the prime minister wholeheartedly, and Emperor Gao didn't name him until the end. He was sick, bigu, who knows the truth? He was astute in his refusal, just like you just did, but And stupid.

"Who is the prime minister today?"

"Qu Nihou."

"After the death of Qu Nihou, who is he?"

The answer was slowed down for a while: "For... Doctor Yushi, Cao——"

Seeing Huafu moving in front of her, she said coldly, "Look up."

look up.Her expression was serious and cold, but then she showed a little bit of lethargy.She said: "I originally decided to let you be my prime minister."

stunned.Completely, just stand there.I have no way of understanding, no way of imagining why she made such a decision, but the reflection in my mind is what my father said on the day I was appointed as a servant.

"Qin has Ganluo, the Twelve High Ministers, and the people call him Prime Minister."

So, did the father foresee everything at that time?The chaos in my head stagnated my thoughts, and I almost listened to her whispering in a daze.

"But you are too young, even with the crown, you are still too young. I don't have time for you to grow up.

"As for the members of your Zhang family, you can't keep one or two."

After the chaos, there is more and more tiredness.I was still standing stiffly in front of her, and I remembered the rumors in the palace that she was dying of illness, but before I could figure it out, I heard her sternly growl: "Get down!"

She is tired.

When she was about to reach the gate of the palace, she heard her whisper: "Feng... Prime Minister Chang Shi, he will take office in five days."

(55)

On the second day, Empress Lu collapsed.

Maybe because her words were so shocking, and I never took them seriously, I don't feel too much loss and melancholy about it, but the current situation is even more shocking.Zhu Lu stared at the tiger, and the king of Qi was against him. The duties of serving the emperor and my uncle Sun Yan are indeed the most dangerous and sensitive-accompanying the emperor, protecting the emperor and serving the emperor, and for an emperor who is only twelve or thirteen years old, what can we do? Only to save his life.

The baggy robe she wore when she was 11 years old fits just right now.The person in the mirror has soft and delicate eyebrows, his brows are slightly furrowed to show worry, and his robe is like snow, like a banished fairy.

Touching the mirror surface with fingertips, the person in the pupil seems to be close enough to touch a little warmth, but no matter how close, it is only the cold temperature of the mirror surface.

Without retreating, I stared at his face, and finally closed my eyes and sighed.

"One day... I will be you."

(56)

Hengchen was much heavier than an ordinary saber, and it took a little effort to pick it up.Put Liu Hong in the deepest place in the inner hall, and I guard the gate of the inner hall alone, with Xiaoqu melodiously recalled in my ears, what I thought was the end is actually a more cruel beginning.

"September is late autumn and frost is flying all over the fields; the sky is high and the water is dry and the cold geese are sad. The most bitter garrison is the day and night; the hard and persistent is the bone standing on the sandy hills! Ten years away from home, the parents are farewell; the wife is so lonely. Stay in a lonely room?"

It's like returning to the forgotten Gaixia night, recalling all the cruel but more magnificent battlefields.

The so-called world is nothing more than protecting one family.

"Although there is a fertile field, who will keep it? When the neighbor's wine is ripe, who will taste it? White hair leans on the door and looks through the autumn water; a childish memory breaks his heart with tears. Huma neighs the wind and knows how to love the soil; life has been a guest for a long time. Would you rather forget your hometown? Once you fight with soldiers, you will die with the sword; your flesh and blood will be muddy and decaying grass and beams. Your soul will be lingering and you will not know what to rely on; there will be few strong men, and it will be absurd to pay—"

Looking back, Lu Chan was standing not far away in a military uniform.Holding on to Hengchen and moving forward steadily, I clearly saw the panic and surprise in his eyes, and his subconscious steps back.

"The Emperor of Han is virtuous and surrenders to the army without killing him."

Hengchen unsheathed, the sword was as radiant as ever.

"If you capture Lu Xi every day, you will be injured."

Chu Ge only changed to numbers.The deepest memory and trembling of those who have experienced the next night.

"How can my song be born? God condemns you, and you know that its fate should not be in vain."

Swinging the sword and pointing it horizontally, he didn't feel the threat of the sword at all, he just yelled at me almost crazily, as if he had lost his heart and soul.

"Why...why are you here——Zhang Liang!"

(57)

--no advantage.

In terms of force, there is no advantage.

The servant is a close minister, although he is also a military officer in name, but against the military general who is in charge of the forbidden army and has been born and died on the battlefield, even if the opponent is in a mess at this moment, there is still no chance of winning.

The soldiers outside the hall screamed and screamed, the tiger's mouth hurt and his wrists were sore, but his face could not show the slightest bit.Under the direct blow, Hengchen almost dropped his hand, and with the beeping sound of sharp blades hitting each other, the noise gradually approached, and the next moment Lu Chan froze suddenly, turned around and fled.

The door of the palace has been opened, surrounded by soldiers with bare left arms, the leader is unexpectedly young in military uniform, judging from his stature and appearance, he is none other than Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang, the second younger brother of King Qi.

And the next moment, Liu Zhang walked into the hall.

"I've seen Zhu Xuhou."

"Where is Your Majesty?" He looked around the empty hall and opened his mouth, his tone anxious and displeased.

Heart sank: King Qi is raising his troops outside Chang'an at this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can see what is planned, but at this moment Liu Zhang doesn't care about arresting Lu Chan and asks where the young emperor is...who allowed him to come here ? !Could it be...

Really, is he an abandoned child?

Seeing that I was silent, he asked again, with a hint of warning: "Where is Your Highness?" While speaking, his right hand was already reaching for the saber.

——I didn't expect... such a situation.

Hengchen tried his best to keep the hilt of his sword in his palm, but his current physical strength no longer allowed me to conflict with anyone.Like someone whispering in the ear:

"So...what choice?"

(58)

The sharp weapon broke through.

Both subconsciously took a step back, the arrow stabbed steadily into the ground, and their tail feathers trembled.The familiar tone resounded through the hall with the sound of full strings: "Zhu Xuhou, Your Majesty is in a safe place, don't worry. At this moment, wouldn't it be good to attack the traitor Lu Chan first?"

It was... Uncle Sun Yuan.

I was in a trance, and I could see the familiar jade ring on Uncle Sun Yuan's finger from a distance. The white jade was gentle and soft, just like the owner, but it was different from what I held, it was not filled with sapphire, and it was slender but powerful knuckles.

The jue is the one who decides.

Only then did he realize that Xiaoyin had been living there for a long time, and at this moment only the sound of chaotic and heavy breathing remained in the hall.Liu Zhang's hand holding the sword tightened and wanted to say something, but the second arrow was aimed at his face and roared towards him.Liu Zhang drew his sword from one side and slashed horizontally, he shouted at him both startled and angrily: "You—"

"This is the order of the emperor." He took another arrow, but only loosely set it up, "the emperor said: 'I have no problem, Zhu Xuhou and Liu Zhang speed up the army to attack the rebel Lu Chan, so as to comfort the spirit of the ancestors.'"

The broken arrow that landed was bound with cloth, and the seal of the jade seal was clearly visible.With a gloomy face, Liu Zhang picked up the broken arrow, tore off the cloth without unfolding it, just glanced at it briefly and then grabbed it in his palm, but still hesitated whether to leave or not.

"Zhu Xuhou, this is the emperor's decree." The bowstring was pulled full, and Shusun Yuan said sharply, "Do you want to disobey the emperor?!"

As if he had hit a sore spot, Liu Zhang's face sank, he turned around and left angrily without saying anything, followed by all the soldiers he brought, and the hall finally returned to silence.

"Shaoqing." Hengchen got into the sheath, and I whispered, trying to move my trembling legs - I was still afraid, "...Thank you."

He was paler than usual, and appeared bloodless in the shadows.He slowly put down his bow and arrow, tried his best to laugh, and said: "I have heard you say this many times—but I have never changed it." It was only when he was beside him that he realized that he was trembling violently, and the jade ring had already been cut by the bowstring with unbelievable cracks.

(59)

Wang Heng was established as the emperor, and the price was to kill all the young emperor and Liu Ying's other descendants.I understand that this is to stabilize the court, and it is also a precautionary measure, but it is a pity that the child who was once protected is now killed by human hands.

"Servant, Hong... Where are you going?"

"Listen to Mr. Teng... to find a safe place."

"What about the waiter?"

"I... serve as a guard."

"Servant."

"exist."

"Thank you."

Why say thank you, why bother to say thank you.You are the third...fourth person under my care, and these four people have all died in the end, no matter how hard I try, there is nothing I can do to bring them back.The court, the battlefield, I will always be as my father predicted, the so-called ups and downs of the officialdom, but now, how should I leave.

(60)

The tautology is already big, and it is about to reach the year of the crown, but it is even more unruly.When he yelled at me, I wanted to take it lightly, but when he asked why, I lost my composure for no reason and cried out.

"Why? Why did I go to such lengths?! If you can imitate your father's indifference—"

If he can learn from his father's three-point indifference, he is still here at this moment, he will study military books with his father, he will talk with the prime minister rashly, he will... he will be here, I still call him brother Han, not Marquis of Huaiyin.

But then, Han Xin would no longer be Han Xin.

"If you can learn from him to be three points indifferent!"

Everyone said that Zhang Pijiang was meaningless to the world, and never mention the past, regardless of sorrow or joy, but not mentioning it is not forgetting, and not occupying the mind is also nonsense.The pain all over the body is still imprinted in the bottom of my heart, and it returns to the dead of night like condemnation, and the pain is suffocating.

Now the tautology is about to reach the crown, I am unable to discipline and will not be able to discipline anymore.He has lived in the mansion for seven years, but his habits have become more and more extreme and eccentric. He has an ominous premonition in his heart, but he is unable to explain it.Well, let him go, if one day he touches the taboos of the world, I'm afraid he will have to curb his bad nature.

Just wish it didn't cost much.
