Chapter 1 Young and Old Gentlemen
Today's Xuzhou Thorn History Mansion is destined to experience an extraordinary day.
Just because of the dignified Lord Shi Tao Qiantao, he put aside his official duties for half a day and beat his son at home.
Tao Thorn Shi is fifty-eight years old this year.
On weekdays, the old man, who is gentle as jade and has the style of an elder, does not know what evil style he has committed today, so he changed the walking stick to a snake spear gun, and chased his eldest son potter all over the yard...... There is a lot of strength not to pick this son under the horse.
Tao Qian passed forty years later, Fang got two children, in the Eastern Han Dynasty can be regarded as an old man, if the old man is pampered to the two children, it may be a bit exaggerated, but there is definitely a calf protection, as long as it is not too loser, the old man will generally not be angry to give up his demeanor, do it himself......
But Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, is indeed a bit of a loser today.
……………………
"No, Xiao Zi, Ann dares to do this!!"
Tao Qian was old, and he was really a little unable to catch up with the adolescent and lively young man, so after chasing for a while, he put his crutches on the ground and stopped to rest, panting and began to curse the street.
The potter hid behind the locust tree in the courtyard, and sighed helplessly: "Dad, is it okay to talk about it?" ”
"Phew!"
Tao Qian stroked his gray beard and said angrily at the locust tree where the pottery merchant was hiding: "You have done a good deed yourself! The old man struck you with two sticks, and it was already light! How can the old man discuss such immorality with you? …… Unfilial son! That's what you do! It's just immoral...... You wait for the old man to rest enough, and he can't kill you!! ”
The corners of the potter's mouth twitched, looking very helpless.
In fact, this matter is not big or small...... It depends on which angle to analyze.
The potter was in a hurry to go to the toilet in the morning and couldn't find the facial tissue...... It is also said that in the Han Dynasty, there was only printing paper, where there was facial tissue, and there was only Dongdong who shaved his ass...... Call the toilet chip.
A modern person goes to the toilet every day and uses a toilet chip, and the potter is also drunk.
So he was in the front hall and took Tao Qian's book to write official documents for convenience.
There is no paper in the toilet, which is really a great misfortune in life.
In the eyes of the potter, this matter is not very big, so he just used a piece of your book to wipe his buttocks, and he just returned it to you.
But from Tao Qian's side, it was very big.
Not to mention that most people in the Eastern Han Dynasty were still writing in simple scripts, how precious silk was in the troubled times...... In particular, the piece on Tao Qian's desk also has confidential important matters written on it...... This kid actually used it to ...... What the hell?? How bold!!
What kind of crime is it to open the stomach with the official document of Xuzhou Thorn History?
"Shaft! You give the old man to come and die! Tao Qian rested enough, and walked over to the locust tree where the pottery merchant was hiding with his cane.
But when the figure flashed, the potter had already fled from behind the tree in a hurry and ran to the backyard.
*************************
Reluctantly shook off Tao Qian's pursuit, the potter came to the gap in the rockery in the back garden, sat on his knees, sighed for a long time, and had an indescribable sense of loneliness on his face.
He didn't know how important Tao Qian's official document was, he only knew that a person who had lived in the 21st century since he was a child went to the toilet for three consecutive days to scrape the toilet...... What a horrible thing to do.
Although the potter did not have an excessive habit of cleanliness, he considered himself a clean man.
A dynasty without facial tissues is simply a loss of conscience!
It's not more than three. So in any case, on the fourth day, I can't bear it anymore, and no one can persuade me.
That's right, the potter came to this era, and today is already the fourth day.
In his previous life, he was a senior book editor, but after a late night of proofreading manuscripts, he inexplicably came to this era and entered this almost seventeen-year-old shell.
After three days of digestion, he learned that the name of this body was Tao Shang, his father was Tao Qian, and there was a younger brother named Tao Ying, and his mother had passed away a few years ago.
He basically didn't know much about the person who was the potter, but who Tao Qian was, he was like a mirror in his heart.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was one of the princes of Kwantung, and was barely tied with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and others...... The initiator of the popular story 'Three Lets Xuzhou'.
This is a gorgeous era, but also a cruel era, although there are chaos everywhere, there are dead bones on the road, but it is also a hero, regardless of the source.
This year is the first year of the first peace, and the princes of the Kwantung region intend to support Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance! The edge is directed at Luoyang Dong Zhuo, and the counties of the world have responded! Volunteer soldiers were raised everywhere......
The opening of the troubled times made the potters catch up, and it was not bad at all.
What's even more terrifying is that at this time of chaos, when there are many heroes in the world, Tao Qian, as the lord of a state, does not worry about the country and the people, crusades against Dong thieves, and seeks the name of loyalty to the country, but here he is here to worry about the problem of wiping the ass paper with his own son......
The potter thinks that this cheap dad is a little bit out of business.
Of course, the ending of this unserious father Tao Shang also knew very well in his heart that after the old man died, he gave the land of Xuzhou to Liu Bei, which made this land fall into the endless competition of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and other heroes in a few years.
The more important question is that it is not clear what kind of ending the owner of his current body will end up with......
Whether it is dead or alive, good or bad, the history books don't mention it at all, which is really sad.
Of course, in the long river of history, heroes have passed away, and the ending and whereabouts of small people like potters are really not worth the waste of effort by historians...... You may not be able to pass the test.
But no matter how it ends, time will always pass, and life will always go on, after all, the life of this body is the life of oneself now, although all this is unreal as if it were a dream.
What's next? How to continue to survive here......
The potter was immersed in complex thoughts, and before he came back to his senses, in an instant, in the gap of the rockery, a slightly pale old hand slowly reached in, and grabbed the potter's shoulder coldly.
"Okay, you're a rebel, you're hiding here! Get out of here, old man! ”
Although Tao Qian was old, he was not stupid, but it took him a few moments to find the place where the pottery merchant was hiding...... The teenage kid played peek-a-boo with an old man who was almost sixty, and it was too tender.
Failing to detect the enemy in time and accidentally falling into the hands of the old man was the first lesson the potter learned after coming to this era...... Don't treat the old man as a cadre, older people are good at criminal investigation.
"Come with the old man!"
After chasing and hiding this period of effort, Tao Qian's qi has almost disappeared after the wear and tear of time...... Or maybe he was too tired to catch people, the old man didn't rush to beat people, but let the potter go to the front hall of the mansion with him.
****************************
When he arrived in the front hall, Tao Qian sat down panting, drank saliva to ease his emotions, and then said leisurely: "Do you know that the secret letter that you stole just now ......?"
"I won't dare to do it anymore." The potter opened his mouth and directly admitted his mistake.
People of the two eras, the concept is completely different, Tao Qian is a treasure-like thing, and the potter is a kind of cross-generational gap, there is no possibility of filling in the gap, the potter really has no need to break with Tao Qian, and directly admitting mistakes is the most effective solution.
"Alas, practicing is almost benevolent, shame is almost brave, and it can be regarded as a father who didn't teach you in vain on weekdays, but it's just ......"
Speaking of this, Tao Qian glanced at the pottery merchant with dissatisfaction: "It's just that you know that it is a secret letter sent by Guanglu Doctor Zhu Jun to the old man!" The stakes are so high, how solemn, but you take it to wipe it...... Rub that...... Rub that...... What do you mean by wiping that thing? ”
Tao Qian's old face was flushed, and he didn't know how to get such a disgusting word out of his mouth for a long time.
"Wipe." Seeing that the old man was uncomfortable, the potter simply said it for him.
"That's what I wiped!" Tao Qian was relieved.
The pottery merchant was helpless, the humble gentleman who was educated by Confucianism was different, and saying the word "" seemed to be the same as asking for his life...... It's like eating.
"Father, you said that Dr. Guanglu gave you a secret letter, what did the letter say?" The potter quickly changed the topic, he didn't want to continue to discuss this matter with Tao Qian, after all, it was not a delicious thing, and it was not interesting to talk about it every day.
Hearing the Tao Shang's question, Tao Qian seemed to be very surprised, and said in surprise: "You kid, how can you care about these government affairs?" ”
Tao Qian's expression and tone made the pottery merchant very puzzled.
You are a state assassin, I am your son, is it rare for a son to ask Lao Tzu's career...... If your career is not good, how can I be the second generation of officials?
But I didn't know that Tao Qian had always had a big pain in his heart, that is, the belonging and future of these two sons.
Tao Qian has a son in his old age, and he has always been used to treating the two boys as if he was a baby, but he didn't know that he was used to it, so he was used to it.
Compared with the princes of other places, Tao Qian himself belongs to the kind of person who admires celebrities and has a gentlemanly demeanor...... Whether this move is good or bad, it shows that this old man still has a heart that is motivated and eager to do business, and he can barely be regarded as a serious person.
As everyone knows, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the children of the old Tao family can't find a hole in the hole.
Tao Qian's two sons, like people outside the world who do not eat the fireworks of the world, do not care about the ups and downs of the current politics and people's livelihood, but are quite researched and proficient in miscellaneous aspects such as chanting words and sentences, wind and snow, falcons and dogs, cockfighting and insects.
A way of life that was greatly envied by later generations...... The way to live by eating and waiting for death.
Although they were educated in Confucianism, these two children did not do anything that hurt nature and reason; But the hard work has nothing to do with the two children.
In fact, it's right to think about it, there is really this condition in the family, if the rich second generation is not defeated, won't he bury his talent to be a father and make money?
Tao Qian usually told the two children a little bit about things related to the affairs of the imperial court, and the two children hid...... But today, the potter actually took the initiative to consult, and the old man Tao was a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Guanglu Doctor Zhu Jun's secret letter to the old man, do you want to know the contents?" Tao Qian asked again.
The potter nodded.
"Are you sure?" Tao Qian is a bit obsessive-compulsive.
"Dad, if you don't want to say it, let's talk about something else."
"Ahem, ahem...... No! Say this, say this! Say that's it! Tao Qian was afraid that the child would regret it, so he quickly changed his words.
After considering the wording, Tao Qian sighed and said: "Zhu Jun has a good relationship with his father, he came to the secret letter and said to his father, at present, the princes of the Kwantung region have been pouring around to beg for thieves, and the soldiers are very strong, and I want to ask my father to raise troops accordingly, assist the court, and protect the monarch and the country!" ”
Speaking of this, Tao Qian paused: "What my father just said, can you understand a few words?" Apparently he was not very comfortable with the potter's ability to understand......
The potter really didn't understand what his intelligence lacked, what was there to not understand about this...... How many words can I understand? You just have to say one word in total!
"I can almost understand that Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and all the princes are united to ask for it, and among everyone, Yuan Shao can be named the leader of the alliance......"
Tao Qian's jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise: "You can still know that Yuan Benchu's reputation is known as the leader of the alliance...... God bless my Tao family! ”
The potter felt like he was going crazy...... How unreliable was the previous owner of this body?
Shaking his head and not thinking about him, the potter continued to ask: "Father, Zhu Jun's secret letter asked you to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, do you want to go or don't want to go?" ”
Tao Qian's expression became twisted, and he was a little in a dilemma: "It stands to reason that Dong Zhuo's chaotic government is really a big rebellion for the sake of the dynasty, and my generation has received the grace of the country...... But Dong Zhuo's power is too great, and he has the merit of supporting the Son of Heaven, and now he is in the position of Xiangguo, and I have not been in office for a few years, there are not many soldiers and horses, and there are many local thieves, and besides, the soldiers are murder ......weapons."
"Father, do you want to go, or do you not want to go?" The potter was reluctant to listen to nonsense, and the old man couldn't get on time for a long time.
"Don't want to go ......"
Potter: "............"
Looking carefully at the old man in front of him, the potter couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This old man, who has a father-son relationship with himself in this era, talks nonsense in a set way, but after all, he is still not very bold...... In this turbulent society, it is indeed difficult to have the courage and determination of the frontier party, and the character is still so bad.
However, if it is really said, if it is replaced by himself, the pottery merchant feels that he should also agree with Tao Qian's idea.
Is it a war, real knives and real guns are not a joke, who is idle and has nothing to do to have a good life, but they have to pin their heads to the waistband and go out desperately?
But approval is approval, whether you can do that is another matter.
Among modern people, there are many people who are familiar with the history of the late Han Dynasty, not to mention that the potter was a senior editor who had been immersed in the publishing industry for many years in his previous life.
In a cannibalistic society, the end of conformism is death, especially the history of a state assassin like Tao Qian is the most inferior.
Tao Qian was born in Taixue, and later raised Maocai, and successively followed the general Huangfu Song and Si Li Lieutenant from the military position, according to the modern people's view, it is pure learning and social seedlings, and the future is limitless.
In fact, Tao Qian did it, two years ago because of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban remnants in Xuzhou, Tao Qian was appointed as a feudal official Xuzhou Thorn History, looking at the future generations that is the head of a province, with his personality, if it is a peaceful world, he will definitely make a big difference.
But history is cruel, the feudal officials of the troubled times and the provincial/level/cadre/department of the Qingping world are completely different things, in addition to the cultural and martial arts, the vision of standing in line, the strong wrist, and the unyielding character...... Whether you dare to have the courage to give it a go, many factors can determine success or failure.
What's even more terrifying is that the foreign feudal domains of the Qingping world, the outcome of a bad job may be hopeless promotion, at most they will be transferred, and even worse, they will resign and return to their hometowns to enjoy Qingfu.
In troubled times, the end of the outer domain is to go all the way to the black, and the end of a bad job is to ruin the family.
Tao Qian in history, it seems that he did not escape this ending, in his later years, he was difficult to defeat his strong neighbor Cao Cao, and Cao Apu slaughtered most of the population of Xuzhou, and the foundation could not be inherited after his death, so he made a big wedding dress for Liu Xuande.
As the son of a state assassin, the potter is even more mentioned in the history books, and the ending has become a mystery, whether he is dead or alive, losing his arms and legs, has completely become a suspense...... If the qualifications are sufficient, you may be able to enter the world's top 100 unsolved mysteries and file a case for investigation.
The current potters don't want this ending, it's too miserable.
I don't ask people to leave a name, but I didn't even leave a fart in the history books, and I was directly released as a fart, and people with a little self-esteem can't accept this kind of ending.
Therefore, whether you have nothing to do, whether you want to catch the ducks on the shelves, you have to fight him and fight him.
"Father, this Kanto Thief Alliance, I think you still have to go, and you can't go perfunctory."
Tao Qian shook his head and disagreed: "The son is lazy and lazy on weekdays, and he doesn't know about national affairs?" The soldiers are very fierce, and it is difficult to conclude whether Dong Zhuo and the princes will win or lose...... According to the old man's intentions, he joined the alliance to discuss Dong Keye, but he couldn't do his best, the old man responded to Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he didn't send troops and horses, sat and watched the victory or defeat, and he couldn't be offended, and he would be worry-free! ”
The potter said softly, "Father, you are really an old chicken thief. ”
Tao Qian frowned: "Bastard thing, who are you talking about ............?"
