In the second year of Empress Lu's reign, Zhang Liang was seriously ill and sent his son Zhang Pijiang to write a book, saying that he would die today.

Lu Pheasant came to Liuhou Mansion in person to see off Zhang Liang.

Although Zhang Liang was seriously ill, he did not see the slightest pain, and when Lu Pheasant saw him, he was sitting on the couch. The two sons stood by the side.

"Wait, are you going to go today?"

Zhang Liang looked at the woman in front of him, and said with a slightly complicated expression: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, common things in the world, why should the Queen Mother be sentimental for her ministers." ”

Lu Pheasant said: "Waiting for my mother and son to be gracious, how can you not repay it." If you are a person among the immortals, you can't escape death?"

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Although I have learned from the immortals, I have not been able to cultivate exquisitely, I can't become an immortal in the daytime, I can only autopsy, today is not only a death calamity, but also the day of my enlightenment." ”

Lu Pheasant was puzzled: "What do you mean by waiting for this?"

Zhang Liang said: "My achievements in the world are the cause and effect of the world. The cause and effect of the world are not clear, and there is no chance to become an immortal. I was not talented enough to break the cause and effect, so I had to die, and I returned to the world with this body, and turned into an immortal after death. ”

Lu Pheasant said sadly: "I made a mistake to stay, if I hadn't forced me to stay, I would have already ascended to the immortal." ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "It's not because of the Queen Mother, it's because I don't have enough fate, and it's not bad to be able to dissect and transform into immortals, and there will be a time to ascend to the heavenly realm in the future." ”

Lu Pheasant asked, "Is there anything you can rest assured about staying in the world?"

Zhang Liang reluctantly looked at his two sons, the eldest son Zhang Budo will inherit his title, and the second son has gained his comprehension of cultivation, and he has some talent, or he can become an immortal.

"With Empress Dowager Lao worried, I have nothing to worry about. It's the Queen Mother, take care, a hundred years later, there may be a time to meet again. ”

Then he turned his head and told his two sons, "Do not doubt inheriting the throne, guard against arrogance and rashness, be cautious, and be diligent in royal affairs." To get my essence, you should be diligent in your practice, indifferent to fame and fortune, and don't be obsessed with the merits of the world. ”

Zhang Budo: "The child remembers his father's teachings and does not dare to forget them. ”

Zhang Pijiang: "After my father goes, I will hang up the seal and go, and ask for immortals in the deep mountains and forests." ”

Zhang Liang nodded and passed away suddenly.

Chang'an's Chenghuang and Guan Longxiao had already prepared the Biyou Sancai Array, and when they saw that Zhang Liang was dead, they hurriedly surrounded him in the array. I'm watching how they take down Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang's soul detached from his body, and he only sobered up after being confused for a moment, and he did not look at his surroundings, but meditated cross-legged, breathing and breathing. His realm was rising, breaking through the barrier between heaven and man in a moment, and achieving an earth immortal.

Chenghuang and Guan Longxiao stared at all this with a group of ghost pawns, Zhang Liang waited a few breaths before opening his eyes, and said, "Your Excellency is from the underworld, do you want to take me to the underworld?"

Chenghuang stepped forward and said, "I am Chang'an Chenghuang." He pointed at Guan Longxiao again, and continued: "This is Judge Guan, and the two of us are under the order of the Ten Yan Monarchs, please stay and go to the underworld." ”

Zhang Liang stood up very simply, patted his clothes, and said, "In this case, please let the two adults lead the way." ”

Chenghuang and Guan Longxiao looked in my direction, and I nodded.

Pointing to the wall, the ghost door opened. Looking at it from the other side, Yi Zhi and Fan Li were waiting on the other side, and Han Xin and Xiao He were behind them, obviously lobbyists. After taking a closer look, Zhang Yi was still hiding behind, Yi Zhi was really staring at Zhang Liang, and he was ready to do it.

Yi Zhi saw the ghost door open and said, "Where is Zhang Liang in the world, I have been waiting for a long time." ”

I smiled and said, "Old ten, Zhang Liang is here." ”

Guan Longxiao stepped into the ghost gate with Zhang Liang, who was a little dazed, and arrived at Yi Zhi's side the next moment.

Yi Zhi smiled: "Lao Jiu, when will you return?"

I said, "In a few years, will the underworld be good?"

Yi Zhi said: "Everything is fine, although Yuding is lazy, but not as cheeky as you!"

Me: "Haha, then let him continue with the next paragraph." ”

Yi Zhi took Zhang Liang away, and Zhang Liang was about to fall into Yi Zhi's hands. It is unlikely that Huang Shigong will come to the underworld to rob people, ascend to the heavenly realm of immortals, and enter the underworld for autopsies, which is also predetermined.

Zhang Budo and Zhang Pijiang began to handle their father's funeral, Lu Pheasant said goodbye, his expression was full of sentimentality, there were fewer and fewer ministers who had suffered together, Xiao He, Zhou Chang, Cao Shen, Zhang Liang, these heroes who had protected her and Liu Ying during the Liu Bang period have passed away one after another. Liu Ying has also been dead for two years, this world is big, how many people are left who are connected with her?

Maybe she will slowly realize that the position of power is just empty in an instant.

In the third year of the reign of Empress Lu, there were many displaced people in Chang'an.

The same is true in Ducheng, where the villagers of Guojia Village, organized by Guo Zhong, have set up a team to prevent attacks by the homeless people.

The homeless people are not hooligans, they were good people in the past, but the rivers and Han flooded and flooded their homes, flooded their food, and took away their relatives.

Immortals are not afraid of hunger, ghosts are not afraid of hunger, and people are afraid of hunger.

Hunger will die, and no one wants to die.

The homeless people don't want to die, and naturally they don't want to go hungry, whether they steal or rob, they always have to get some food to eat.

Lu Pheasant has ordered the government to gather the displaced people, resettle them in a unified manner, and provide them in a unified manner. But not everyone is willing to believe in the government, and in their consciousness, the government can always be seen from afar but cannot be approached.

How can the high-ranking official master care about the life and death of these small people, the official master naturally sits in the mansion every day, hugging beauties, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and plotting how to be promoted!

The city was gathering the displaced people, and the displaced people did not believe in the government, so they hid in the villages below.

Boss Guo took the young and middle-aged people in the village to patrol around the village every day, and when he saw the displaced people, he rushed to Hongguyuan, where there was a porridge tent set up by the government, and the people of the government would gather the displaced people there.

The women of the village were all gathered together, and Guo Lao Er and a few strong men guarded here to avoid being attacked by the homeless.

I did not join any of the teams, but was temporarily recruited to record the origins and population of the displaced people in the congee pong of Hongguyuan.

I am the most literate person in Guojia Village, or the only person in Guojia Village who can read all the words.

Chen Ping was standing not far away, Hongguyuan was the place where the most displaced people gathered near Chang'an, and he was very concerned about it, if the resettlement of tens of thousands of people went wrong, a rebel army would be formed, a rebel army in the heart of the empire.

Although they are all farmers, when Liu Bang raised the army, he was not a farmer. Chen Ping himself used to be a farmer, and he was a farmer who couldn't hold up the wall. His brother often helped him, but his sister-in-law hated him. Later, he made a fortune, but he was accused of stealing his sister-in-law.

Chen Ping is a person who dares to act, he accepts the money from the sister-in-law, and he recognizes the gold, but the sister-in-law definitely does not admit it.

People in the world are always mediocre, and they say whatever others say. Liu Bang was disgusted by his father and had no family business, and the nearby towns were saying that he was a hooligan, but with the law of the Qin Dynasty, how could a hooligan who did not abide by the law be the pavilion chief.

Chen Ping is even worse than Liu Bang, his family business is only a little thin land, and he is not diligent in agricultural production, if it weren't for his brother's help, I'm afraid that he would have starved to death. I'm afraid that Chen Ping himself didn't expect that when he fell, he was accused of not doing anything about production and waste, and after becoming famous, he had to bear the infamy of stealing his sister-in-law and receiving money.

Everyone in the world likes this kind of story, either the great hero calms down the troubled times, or the great good man scatters wealth to help the people, or the traitor and wicked man deceive the world and steal his name. Liu Bang is the first, and Chen Ping is the third. Liu Bang was not wrong, Chen Ping was wrong.

"You write well, who did you learn it from?"

Chen Ping asked me as he glanced at the record.

I said, "My lord, I had two friends in my hometown, one is good at seal books, and the other is good at official books. I learned from them. ”

Chen Ping asked, "You're not a local?"

"Lord Hui, the grass people are Yanmen people, and they migrated here because of the invasion of the Huns. ”

Chen Ping put down the bamboo slips, looked at the homeless, and then looked in the direction of Yanmen.

He sighed: "Alas, natural disasters and man-made disasters, what kind of sin does the world have, to suffer such torture." ”

I said, "Natural disasters are the law of heaven and earth, and they are not easier for people. Man-made disasters are the confusion of people's hearts and the struggle of ethnic groups. Today, the Huns deceived me, and in the coming day, it will not be me who deceive the Huns. Have you forgotten the matter of the pre-Qin recovery of the Hetao? ”

Chen Ping pulled me to sit on the ground and said, "You read history?"

I said, "I've read some of them." ”

Chen Ping asked, "Why did Qin die?"

I replied: "The reason for the early death of Fusu, the reason for Huhai and Zhao Gao." ”

"What's the explanation?"

"Fusu is the eldest son of Emperor Qin, who is still governed by the rule of law and has forgiveness, and has learned the art of war and military affairs from Meng Tian, and knows how to be a king. Fusu died for several years, and Chen Shi still rebelled in the name of Gongzi, and the people were with him. If Fusu is not dead, how can the world be chaotic. How could the 300,000 Qin army deviate from Germany, but so that the Lingnan passage would not be lost, how could the 600,000 Lingnan Qin army be trapped in South Vietnam. The trend of the world is unknowable.

Although Hu Hai was loved by the Qin Emperor, he was not the choice of the prince, and he was greedy to kill all his brothers, although he won the throne, he lost the hearts of the people in the world. Give death to help Su, strangle Meng Tian, and the border army is centrifuged. Zhao Gao took power and had no plan, the smoke was exhausted and could not be leveled, the righteous army seized the Hangu Pass and attacked, as if the dictatorship was abolished, and he did not think about defending the land, so that the Qin land was lost, and the child was powerless to return to the sky. ”

Chen Ping said with a smile: "You are very direct, but you still need to remember that my Taizu Emperor Gao is the son of the Red Emperor, who beheaded the white snake and responded to the mandate of heaven, eliminated the tyranny of Qin, and punished Xiang Yu and ascended to the throne." ”

I shook my head and laughed, "The world is ignorant, poor and wise." ”

Chen Ping also said: "Yes, smart people have to pretend to be fools, otherwise they will be suppressed." ”

I said: "Heaven and earth are fair, there will be no such thing as treating favorably, there will be naturally what should be, and there will be no natural thing that should not be." There is a reason for existence, so why bother adults. ”

Chen Ping smiled: "I see that you are well versed in the way of Huang Lao, are you willing to be an official?"

I shook my head and said, "The work of the world is not what I want, thank you for your kindness." ”

Chen Ping didn't force it, got up and sorted out his clothes, and took the list of displaced people. With the resettlement of tens of thousands of people, he still has a lot to do.

I looked at the homeless people gathered together, ragged and sleeping in the wilderness, with nothing but a bowl of gruel to feed their stomachs. Some people are crying, some are laughing, some are not saying a word, some are making crazy noises.

The world is full of life, death and separation, and people's infatuation is nothing more than seven emotions and six desires. Immortals are different from people, perhaps they are far away from the influence of the seven emotions and six desires.

I still can't figure out the choice of the fourth child, the immortal road is so difficult, why give up the way. Ananda is still making a stone bridge over the river, exposed to the wind and rain, and has never regretted it.

I can understand people's reluctance, but I still can't understand the self-depravity of immortals. The red dust is rolling, a hundred years in a flash, why take a long time to exchange for short-term pleasure.
