The second year of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty was indeed an unusual year, first the prime minister Gongsun He was exposed by the Yangling hero Zhu Anshi, saying that his son Gongsun Jingsheng buried witches on the road and cursed the emperor, resulting in being punished, and even Wei Qing's eldest son Wei Yan was also implicated and killed, and Princess Yangshi and Princess Zhuyi were also implicated.

Then Liu Che fell ill and suspected that someone had cursed him, so he ordered Jiang Chong to investigate them, and found out that the prince Liu was forced to be helpless and rebelled, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and injuries in Chang'an City, the prince's family was killed, Liu Zhi committed suicide, and most of his disciples were killed. The prince was killed, which would shake the country's foundation. and the talents of the prince's faction were also killed, and the entire Han Dynasty was bleeding.

Complete one's misery.

In the autumn, another earthquake struck, and then the Xiongnu invaded Shanggu County and Wuyuan County, burning and plundering countless Han people.

Just after the Spring Festival of the third year of Zhenghe, the Xiongnu invaded Wuyuan County and Jiuquan County again, and killed the commanders of these two counties. Liu Che couldn't bear it anymore, and finally ordered Li Guangli, the general of the second division, to send 70,000 troops out of Wuyuan County, and Qinhou Shangqiu Cheng to lead 20,000 troops from Xihe, and Hou Matong to lead 20,000 troops from Jiuquan County, and the troops passed through the Xiongnu in three ways.

This was Liu Che's last military dispatch in his lifetime.

He was going to send troops to fight the Huns, and the city of Chang'an was boiling.

In the past few days, Gongsun Yu has heard the news of sending troops to fight in the Boji Medical Center, and most people's opinions are that it is better not to fight if the war costs the people and money, but when it comes to the repeated invasions of the Xiongnu, they are indignant.

Towards evening, there was no one in the medical hall, Gongsun Yu was sorting out the medical records, and Yi Susu was concocting medicinal materials in the room. At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a priest came in, this person was dressed in a cyan robe, and his beard was long and flowing.

I saw the visitor approaching Gongsun Yu's side and said with a smile on his face: "Doctor Gongsun, it's been good lately." ”

Gongsun Yu looked up and saw that this person was very familiar, but he couldn't think of it.

"Doctor Gongsun, I'm Zhu Lilun."

Gongsun Yu remembered that it was Zhu Lilun, but now he was darker and older than before.

"It turned out to be Brother Lilun, I haven't seen him for a few years, and I almost can't recognize it."

Zhu Lilun hurriedly motioned to Gongsun Yu to be quiet, after all, he was wanted two years ago with his brother Yangling Daxia. Gongsun Yu also hurriedly closed the door of the medical hall and led them into the inner room.

"Brother Lilun, I haven't heard from you in the past few years, where are you going?"

Looking at Zhu Lilun, whose face was full of vicissitudes, Gongsun Yu estimated that he should have suffered a lot in the past two years.

"It's a long story, I now change my name to Zhang Lun, I fled to the mountains of Juxian County with my eldest brother Yangling Daxia, and my eldest brother wanted to sneak back to Chang'an City to hide in the secret room of the free house, saying that it was the safest, no one would have thought that he would hide there, I felt very dangerous, and did not agree with him to go to Chang'an, so I did not go back with him; The eldest brother may have been disheartened, or he had a premonition that this time there would be more and less luck, so before leaving, he passed the big gourd and the nine-section scepter to me and told me to continue preaching. ”

"Then you are now the head of the Hugong faction."

"Boss, what is boss?"

It seems that Zhu Lilun doesn't know what the head means, no wonder, the head is the head of the martial arts gang organization, although there are heroes at this time, but there is no martial arts gang, where is the head, so it is normal for Zhu Lilun not to understand, so Gongsun Yu explained: "The head is the person in charge, and you are now the person in charge of the Hugong faction." ”

Zhu Lilun nodded to show that he understood, and continued: "I first changed my appearance and stored my beard, and then changed my name to Zhang Lun, carrying a big gourd, holding a nine-section scepter, and taking a few disciples who were willing to follow me all the way to the northeast, out of Tongguan, first to Hedong, at the beginning, I saw that there was a notice posted at the city gate to arrest me and my eldest brother, and after arriving in Hedong, it disappeared; Hedong was relatively prosperous, and there were many people, and I was still afraid of being recognized, so I continued to walk northeast until I settled down in Zhuozhou, and preached there. ”

"That is to say, you are now Zhang Lun from Zhuozhou, not Zhu Lilun from Yangling."

"Exactly."

At this time, Yi Susu also brought wine and food, and Gongsun Yu invited Zhu Lilun, and now it should be Zhang Lun to eat together, and everyone chatted while eating.

"When did you come to Chang'an? Is the government still hunting you down? "Everybody reads

"I've been in Chang'an for almost a month, and now the government is not chasing me anymore, I heard Guo Sui say that since the eldest brother told Jiang Chong that Gongsun Jingsheng cursed the emperor last year, the government will no longer pursue me."

"Guo Sui? Is it Guo Tao's younger brother who lived freely, the short and fat one you brought him to the hospital before? ”

Zhang Lun nodded and said: "Yes, Gongsun Jingsheng saw that others were more clever, so he recommended him to go to Shaofu to do things, and now he is the inner order." ”

Gongsun Yu felt that he hadn't heard of this official position, so he asked, "What kind of official position is the Inner Order?" ”

Before Zhang Lun returned, Yi Susu on the side said: "The inner order is the official who is in charge of the tents and clothes in the palace. ”

She often enters the palace, and of course she is familiar with some of the situations in the palace.

Zhang Lun smiled faintly and said, "Su Su is right, he has also been taken care of by the prince; When the prince raised troops this time, he was in Ganquan Palace with the emperor, so he was not implicated, but listening to his tone, he should be unhappy for the prince. ”

"Last year, not long after the prince fled, there was an old Confucian scholar, the third elder of Huguan, Ling Humao, who submitted the "Letter of Injustice to the Prince" to the emperor, and I heard that the emperor did not dispose of him, which also proves that the emperor should begin to realize that the prince was wronged."

"I heard Guo Sui say that not long ago, someone wrote a book to complain about the prince's grievances, and I heard that the emperor still attaches great importance to it, and he summoned this person."

Yi Susu also felt strange, and hurriedly asked: "There is such a thing, and the emperor still receives him." ”

"Yes, I heard that it is from Changling, and it is an old man who guards the tomb of Gaozu, named Tian Qianqiu."

"Tian Qianqiu."

When Gongsun Yu heard this name, he felt very familiar, he was still from Changling, as if he had met it somewhere?

When Yi Susu saw Gongsun Yu's reaction, he said, "Do you know him too?" ”

Gongsun Yu thought for a while, nodded and said: "It should be him, in the first three years of Taishi, Brother Lu Fu and I went to Bowangyuan in the south of Chang'an City to participate in the Autumn Chrysanthemum Meeting that year, and I met a Changling man named Tian Qianqiu, an old man, a little fat, and his legs and feet are not very dexterous when he walks, he claims to be the guardian of Gaozu's tomb, because his views at that time were very strange and not accepted by the prince, so I have always had an impression of him, and I think he is like an opportunist. ”

Zhang Lun laughed after hearing this: "Guo Sui also said so, but the timing he chose was really good, since the prince raised troops last year, the emperor ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the witch Gu case, but nothing has been found out until now, the emperor began to suspect that someone was plotting against the prince, dividing the relationship between their father and son, at this time Tian Qianqiu smelled the smell, so he wrote a book to avenge the prince, saying that there was a white-haired old man who taught him to do this in a dream, saying that the son of the son of stealing his father's soldiers, although his crime is punished, but as the son of the son of heaven killed someone by mistake, What is the sin? After reading the book, the emperor was very touched, the matter between our father and son, it is difficult for outsiders to intervene, only Tian Qianqiu knows the misunderstanding in the meantime, isn't the white-haired old man in the dream Gao Zu? This is the god of Gaozu who has sent you to teach me, and you should serve as my auxiliary minister. ”

Yi Susu continued to ask, "Then did the emperor really appoint him to an official position?" ”

Zhang Lun nodded and smiled and said, "Listen to Guo Sui and say that the emperor promoted him as the Great Honglu." ”

After hearing this, Yi Susu and Gongsun Yu were all taken aback, Yi Susu couldn't close it for a long time after opening his mouth, and he could do it after he got a letter of injustice, Gongsun Yu felt that Linghu Mao was a little pity, and sighed: "It's a pity that Brother Linghu is the first to go to the book." ”

"But the time for him to write has not yet come, the prince has not committed suicide at that time, and the matter has not yet come to light, if the emperor promotes him to an official, it will show that the prince was wronged at that time."

Gongsun Yu shook his head: "It seems that the battle in the palace is too fierce, and there are some things that I and the grass people can't understand." ”

After Zhang Lun took a sip of wine, he pursed his lips and said, "What you can't understand is still to come." ”

Gongsun Yu felt that Zhang Lun had something to say, what was the purpose of his visit to Chang'an this time? Chang'an is so far away in Zhuozhou, isn't he just here to see some old people, right? Then he asked, "What else can't you understand?" ”

"Actually, I came to Chang'an this time because I was invited."

"Who invited you?"
