Chapter 977: The Zhongxing Sword that Wants to Be Zhongxing

Fei Qian really didn't expect that after meeting Jia Xu in Diaoyin, Jia Xu was not interested in the change of form in Guanzhong, nor his own arrangements in the future, but in Fei Qian's sword.

The Zhongxing sword that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty gave to Fei Qian.

Jia Xu seemed to ignore Huang Xu's vigilant gaze behind Fei Qian, and sat upright on the seat by himself, holding the Zhongxing sword up and down......

Fei Qian looked at the soft-shelled turtle with some interest, well, Jia Xu, I think Jia Xu has really never seen this kind of Jia Xu.

Whether it is in his memory, or when Jia Xu was just arrested by Zhang Liao some time ago, Jia Xu seems to have a faint expression, neither indignant nor aggrieved, and it is really the first time I have seen a situation like this with a look of remembrance.

Jia Xu gently brushed his fingers on the spine of the sword, and after a long time, he sighed slightly, then put the long sword back into its sheath, and gave his hands to the Fei Qian's guards on the side.

Huang Xu, who was behind Fei Qian, slightly loosened the handle of the war knife he was holding at this time, and gently took half a step back.

"Do you know what kind of sword this is?" Jia Xu groaned for a long time and asked slowly.

Fei Qian nodded and said, "Zhongxing, Jianning for three years, cast four swords at the same time, and the inscriptions are all the same." This is one of the four swords. ”

When he first got this long sword, Fei Qian didn't know much about it, but when he came back all the way, he saw Xu Shu and Xun Chen, although these two people are not encyclopedias, but some basic knowledge of the Han Dynasty is obviously better than Fei Qian's half bucket of water, and naturally I know a little bit.

Jia Xu nodded and continued: "In this way, one of the four swords will be lost for no reason...... The prince also knows about this? ”

Fei Qian nodded slowly, and said uncertainly: "I have heard a little." "After Emperor Han Ling cast the Zhongxing Sword, these four swords have been placed in the palace, but then one was inexplicably missing.

Xun Chen also said a little about this matter, but he only mentioned it and did not explain it in detail, so Fei Qian only knew that there was such a thing.

But now that Jia Xu said it, Fei Qian muttered in his heart. β€œβ€¦β€¦ The meaning of Wenhe is none other than this sword...... That is...... The Lost Sword? ”

Jia Xu smiled dumbly and said, "Don't joke with the prince, how is this possible?" ”

Fei Qian was suddenly speechless.

Dead turtle, tease me?

Come on, boil water and prepare to boil soft-shelled turtle soup to drink......

Fei Qian silently muttered a few words in his heart, and then endured it. Information asymmetry is like this, paralyzing is very annoying, such a situation is difficult to avoid even in the future, on the one hand, people who have information will subconsciously not let this information expand, on the other hand, people who lack information, maybe there is no channel, maybe no mood, maybe lazy, and then they don't continue to dig......

Emperor Ling of Han forged four Zhongxing swords, and then lost one.

Oh, Fei Qian knows this matter now, most people are the same as Fei Qian, so far, they will not delve into it, just simply talk about things, and they will not connect some things with each other, but now Fei Qian looks at Jia Xu's appearance, obviously there are still some things that are chattering about it......

"Please speak up." Fei Qian said.

Jia Xu obviously wants to shake it, of course, this is also the proper meaning, otherwise how can Fei Qian feel that Jia Xu is a useful talent, and then return to the prison with heavy shackles, this kind of life Jia Xu really doesn't want to experience a second time.

However, Jia Xu glanced at Huang Xu behind Fei sneaking in, and Huang Xu immediately glared back at Jia Xu.

Fei Qian understood, thought about it, or curiosity prevailed, so he ordered Huang Xu to guard the outside of the hall, and then motioned to Jia Xu to speak.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "This sword is the ......root of the troubled times."

"Huh?" Fei Qian's eyes widened.

What does this mean?

How did the Zhongxing sword cast by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty become the foundation of the troubled times?

Meow meow, this Jia Xu didn't complain, uh, fever, right?

Historically, whenever the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty is discussed, it must be said that Huan and Ling, with their lords selling officials and favoring eunuchs, led to chaos in the world, and the yellow scarves swarmed, so that the Han Dynasty overthrew and so on......

But in fact, is that really the case?

Jia Xu was silent for a while, and said: "During the first year of Yongkang, the Dou clan was in charge of politics and the world, and he was the great-grandson of Emperor Dingzhang and inherited the unification. In the first year of Jianning, the first emperor succeeded to the throne, and the three people of Taifu Chen, the general Dou and Situ Hu participated in the Shangshu affair ......"

Fei Qian nodded unconsciously, these are all known things, but what does Jia Xu want to talk about, and what does it have to do with this Zhongxing Sword?

Jia Xu glanced at Fei Qian, and knew what state Fei Qian was in now, so he explained a little and said, "Do you know who is the person who welcomed the first emperor into the court?" ”

Fei Qian blinked and said, "Could it be the Great General Dou?" ”

"Definitely." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Naiguanglu's doctor Liu Yi and Fengche Duwei Cao Jie personally went to the river to greet him...... Then it was Dou Chen and the others who took power, and they conspired to remove the eunuchs, so there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Xinhai......"

Although Jia Xu didn't say it very clearly, it could be inferred by Fei Qian.

Whoever welcomes the emperor is naturally a great achievement, but it is obvious that after Emperor Han Ling ascended the throne, all the people who ate meat and drank wine were a series of personnel from the general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan, and they did not share the profit on the side of the eunuchs, resulting in a lot of dissatisfaction among the eunuchs, and there may also be more slander in the ears of Emperor Han Ling, and some small actions or something, such things will further deepen the relationship between the two sides to the freezing point, and finally meet each other.

The Xinhai coup, well, it seems that at this time in Xinhai, it doesn't seem to be very peaceful......

Of course, Emperor Han Ling was a little partial to the eunuchs who greeted him in this incident, or he also wanted to get rid of the increasingly large Dou group with the hands of the eunuchs, as for which situation, it is unknown now, but he knew that what happened later was that Dou Wu was too careless, and then Cao Jie and others counterattacked, and then took a break from the field.

Jia Xu continued to speak in his slow tone: "...... Jianning three years, cast Zhongxing sword four, the town in the palace Quartet, four years, the first emperor Yuanfu, the big marriage, the Song family as the queen, amnesty to the world...... This is where the chaos starts......"

In ancient times, if you want to fight a sword, especially like the royal family, you want to play a sword with symbolic significance, not just open a fire, take a hammer and knock a few times, it must be extremely cumbersome, according to various processes, you also need to worship ancestors and the like, so the Zhongxing sword cast in Jianning three years is estimated to be at least in the second year of Jianning, or even the first year to start work, so that is to say, Emperor Han Ling began to do this thing at the beginning of his accession to the throne.

Although I don't know how old Emperor Han Ling was when he was in Yuanfu, but he was about twelve or thirteen years old, so no matter who it was, how much should he have when he reached the age of middle two, so it is not surprising that the birth of the Zhongxing sword was not surprising, perhaps at that time, Emperor Han Ling was once convinced that he was the master of Zhongxing......

Well, all emperors thought so at first.

Wait, Queen Song, Song, Fei Qian suddenly remembered, what is Cao Cao, is he a brother-in-law or a brother-in-law, it seems that he is surnamed Song, and then Cao Cao was also implicated in this surname Song and lost his official ......

Jia Xu showed a slightly mocking smile on his face and said, "...... Although the first emperor had a grand plan, he had no means, except for the Dou family, but he was trapped in the middle of the usual, and the Song family was also incompetent, and the politics of the world were in the hands of the eunuchs. ”

In fact, among the eunuchs in the past dynasties, there are also people who are clear and political, and ordinary officials may not necessarily be how good they are, but because one of the eunuchs is not knowledgeable, most of them smash the pot but do not know how to make up, and the second is that the eunuchs are ruthless enough to themselves, so once they are ruthless, it is inevitable that they will not pay attention to the rules, and there is not much bottom line, which has naturally become the criticism of the vast majority of ancient intellectuals......

According to Jia Xu's meaning, there is no problem with using the eunuch to get rid of Dou Wu, but the eunuch who was released did not have a rope sleeve, which was the master's fault.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ During the Jianning period, there were many party rebellions, in the state and county, there were countless hook parties, Chen Li Zhiliu did not dare to speak, Zhongchang became more and more powerful, the family of the clan fell into the queen, the court and the opposition were silent, and then set up the Hongdu School Palace, all the lives were used by the state and county, or out of the assassin Shi Taishou, or into the Shangshu service, there are marquis and knights, it is true that it was prosperous for a while...... In the end, the big clans everywhere couldn't bear it, and the sword of Zhongxing was lost because of this......"

Hongdu School Palace is the product of the eunuch faction in order to cultivate and support their own power, and the Taixue who occupy the territory of the scholar clan, in the name of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, opened the school palace, which will naturally encroach on the root of the scholar power, but Fei Qian did not expect that this matter is also related to the Zhongxing sword.

Or to put it another way, how the eunuchs tossed before, the scholars turned a blind eye and endured it, but when the eunuchs began to move to the foundation of the scholars, the power of the scholars could not tolerate it, this Fei Qian is naturally understandable, but is this necessarily related to stealing the Zhongxing sword?

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and then said, "...... A certain Taishi, well, during his entry into Beijing, he had to read the Taiku literature...... After the theft, the palace was closed for many days to search, and the word 'for no reason' fell on the end of the pen......"

"For no reason", these two words are extreme irony, things are lost, what about the people on patrol? What about the cleaners? What about the person who oversees the count? There is no punishment written, and there is no other record, just two simple words "for no reason", and forget it if you lose it?

Are you kidding.

This is the emperor personally ordered to cast, and it also has a certain symbolic meaning, and it is placed in the palace according to the orientation of the four sides, which is obviously the spiritual sustenance of Emperor Ling of Han for himself and the Han Dynasty. How can it be that the case is closed for just one "no reason"?

So, this "for no reason" means that something unexplainable happened at that time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Xiping lost his sword in seven years, and the first emperor changed to Yuan Guanghe. In the second year, Yang Wenxian, then Jingzhao Yin, together with Sili School Wei Yang Fangzheng, exposed Wang Fu, a member of the Zhongchang Servant, blackmailed Zhongliang and amassed countless wealth, and was imprisoned in the name of 70 million yuan, and died under the rod, and his body was ......," Jia Xu continued, as if talking about two separate topics that had nothing to do with each other.

Fei Qian frowned, listened to Jia Xu's words, and thought.

Change the era name Guanghe?

Light and, and light, and light with dust?

You must know that the ancient era name is not like Cao Ji's ribs, just say it casually with a chicken bone, it must have a little meaning.

"Frustrate its sharpness, resolve its disputes, and its light, and its dust; It is said to be the same as Xuantong. ”

What kind of state of mind does this era name represent at that time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty?

Furthermore, the middle and long servants Wang Fu?

Yang Wenxian? Yang Fangzheng?

Extortion, the crime of accumulating money?

What seems to cover up this for seemingly just-in-the-light reasons?

You must know that long before Guanghe, Emperor Ling of Han had already instructed his eunuchs to buy and sell officials in the West Garden, not to mention 70 million yuan, hehe, this is only the price of two or three high-ranking officials......

At that time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty clearly marked the price, Tong Su was not bullied, officials in the court, thousands of stones, need to pay tens of millions of dollars, the title is counted, and the local officials are doubled, at the same time, regardless of the size of the officials, but all promotions, need to bid, the highest price can get its position, in this way, 70 million money seems to be a large amount, in fact, it is really not much, you must know that the Han Dynasty is not counted as officials in the court, there are hundreds of large and small counties, and the horizontal and vertical are only worth two or three county positions.

What's more, the previous Zhongchang Wang Fu was a monstrous authority, under his instruction, not to mention the large and small officials in the government and the opposition, and also killed a prince of the clan, even the Song Empress of Emperor Han Ling, in fact, this Wang Fu was in the way, such a great eunuch who was extremely favored by Emperor Han Ling, turned sharply, because of the crime of corruption and bribery, he was directly killed by the rod in prison, and it was not over, and he was abandoned by the corpse when he died, which was relieved......

How much hatred does this have to make Emperor Han Ling like this?

Is it just because of the 70 million dollars?

Fei Qian touched the soft beard fluff on his chin, frowned and said, "...... The meaning of Wenhe, the theft of the Zhongxing sword, has something to do with the Zhongchang servant Wang Fu? ”

Jia Xu smiled and did not answer the question.

There is no answer to this question.

But from these incidents, one by one speculation, for the Zhongchang service Wang Fu is normal, there is no need to steal the Zhongxing sword, and it is very likely that he was wronged, but it may be that after the theft of the Zhongxing sword, many evidence points to him, which has become a pimple in the heart of Emperor Han Ling, although the sentence was not immediately pronounced at the time of theft, but in the end, it may be the instruction of Emperor Han Ling, or Yang Biao and others pushed the boat down the river, and cleaned up the Zhongchang Wang Fu.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Houyang Fang is sparse, saying that Taixue and Dongguan are enough to preach enlightenment, please dismiss the choice of Hongdu, so as to eliminate the slander of the world...... Hou Hongdu will be abolished,......" Jia Xu continued to say slowly, "...... But it's not over yet......"
