That grain official can be said to be the enemy of the Ren family.

At the mention of this person, Xia Dingmao raised his head, his originally sad face was full of anger!

He gritted his teeth and said: "After I came to Hanging Springs, I inquired about the people from Chang'an, and I heard that the shaft is good at drilling camps, relying on the 'merit' of falsely accusing the head of the family, all the way up, and now he is a county guard official of 2,000 stones!" In this world, the loyal and good were really killed, and the treacherous were in power! ”

"Two Thousand Stone ......"

It is equivalent to a high-ranking official in later generations.

Ren Hong stood up, paced and then turned back and asked, "He probably forgot about me, the orphan of the Ren family?" ”

"Or I think that I can't survive the bitter cold of Dunhuang, or because the children of criminal officials who have been exiled and imprisoned will find it difficult to regain momentum no matter how much they toss......"

The hanging spring is placed, and the officials of the upper frontier are simply grasshoppers shaking the trees!

Thinking of this, Xia Dingmao was suddenly a little scared.

Not afraid of what happened to him, but afraid that Ren Hong would be young and vigorous, but would cause disaster, he continued to persuade:

"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It is important to overturn the case and clear the grievances of the old family, but it is even more important to leave blood for Ren. Don't rush this matter......"

Ren Hong didn't answer, and only said after a long time:

"Cheon."

"My eldest father's name is Shaoqing, and his name is ...... Is it 'Ann'? ”

Ren An, this is the name of Ren Hong's grandfather.

"I once heard Xia Weng say that my eldest father was friends with Ma Qian of Taishi Company before his death?"

"That's right."

Xia Dingmao recalled:

"The head of the family and Sima Zichang are friends who are irreversible!"

"In the early years, the two families often came and went, Sima Zichang had traveled all over the country, and liked to try the flavors of different places, in order to welcome him, the head of the family made a special trip for me to cook the food of Shu County."

"Later, when Sima Zichang was imprisoned for Li Ling's incident, the head of the family also spoke for him."

"After that, the two did not have much contact, and when the head of the family was still the assassin of Yizhou, he sent me to send a letter to Taishi Gong, instructing him to take the righteousness of Gu Xianchen, but Sima Zichang never replied."

"It wasn't until the head of the family was in prison that Sima Zichang went to visit ......"

Xia Dingmao pointed at Ren Hong: "By the way, the old servant was outside at that time, but he was a gentleman, and he was in prison with the head of the family!" ”

"I'm here?" Ren Hong thought about it carefully, but in his memory, there was no such scene at all.

So what did Sima Qian and Ren An say goodbye to? Ren Hong didn't know at all.

However, Xia Dingmao said with some gratitude: "Sima Zichang was already a Zhongshu order at that time, and he regained the trust of Emperor Xiaowu and respected his position. The old servant only heard afterwards that the Ren clan was not exterminated, and the gentleman was able to survive, thanks to his circumstance, Taishi Gong is the great benefactor of the Ren clan! ”

There is still such a relationship, Ren Hong bowed: "I keep it in mind." ”

What he thought in his heart was: "It's a pity that Taishi Gong has been dead for many years, otherwise I would still be able to go to Chang'an to join ......"

But just think about it, because ordinary people want to go from Dunhuang to Chang'an, just the process of applying to the government for a talisman is so difficult that it makes you doubt your life.

Thinking of this, Ren Hong said mysteriously to Xia Dingmao: "Actually, Taishi Gong replied to his eldest father. ”

Xia Dingmao looked at Ren Hong: "How does the gentleman know?" ”

Ren Hongdao: "Half a year ago, after a sandstorm, didn't I sleep for a few days? During this time, I had a dream. ”

"I dreamed of many things, including the farewell between Tai Shi Gong and his eldest father in prison, and the reply letter written by Tai Shi Gong to his eldest father, I remember it vividly, and I clearly saw the sentence on it......"

This matter was quite strange, Xia Dingmao was a little surprised, and his eyes widened: "What are you saying?" ”

In front of me, a poplar leaf fell lightly.

In the distance, there is the Qilian Snow Mountain, which has not changed for thousands of years, towering proudly.

Ren Hong said softly:

"He said that man is born dead."

"Perhaps lighter than a feather ......"

"Or heavier than Tarzan!"

……

Xia Dingmao savored this sentence, and said for a long time: "I especially remember Sima Zichang's conversation, such words, like his words, this is what the gentleman heard and saw in prison when he was young?" ”

"Perhaps."

Ren Hong is a ghost, this sentence, he obviously saw it from the "Book of Reporting to Ren'an", which was selected into the Chinese textbook by later generations.

The famous sentence that often hangs on the wall of the classroom, who would have thought that behind this unique letter that Sima Qian failed to send in the end, there would be such a tortuous story......

He was full of emotion in his heart, but he continued to run the train: "I thought that after many years, this sentence could enter my dream, and it must have a deep meaning!" ”

Ren Hong said seriously: "Xia Weng, the eldest father has been wronged, and the bloody Jingshi, you and I have been implicated in the migration, and how many sins and humiliations have we suffered!" ”

"The enemy has forgotten us now, but what if one day he suddenly remembers? If I am content to be a small servant in the Hanging Spring, will I not be easily crushed to death like a little ant in the future? ”

"I don't want to be imprisoned by injustices all the time in this life, and finally die as light as a feather."

"The enemy who falsely accused the eldest father, what if he is 2,000 stones? What about the big roots of the tree? ”

Ren Hong pointed to the ground and said:

"I'm just a pebble on the Gobi Desert in Dunhuang now."

"But in the future, it will definitely become a high-thousand-foot, heavy-handed Qilian Mountain, crushing the enemy to death!"

This is just an excuse to persuade Xia Dingmao, even if there is no enemy of the Ren family, there is no such injustice, since he can come to this era, he should also leave traces in the long flow of time, instead of being silent.

Xia Dingmao looked up at the young master, and remembered that when he came to Dunhuang from Guanzhong, he had a hard journey, and in the wind and snow, he carried Ren Hong on his back, which was so young and light.

Before you know it, he's become so tall.

"It is worthy of being Ren Shaoqing's descendant!"

Xia Ding strengthened his ambition and cocked his thumb: "The gentleman's stubbornness is really like the old master." ”

Speaking of this, Xia Dingmao suddenly figured out one thing, and said with some excitement:

"Since the sandstorm that the gentleman has been subjected to that sandstorm, he seems to have changed his personality, and he has given advice to the hanging spring, and has also taught the old servant many new dishes. At first, the old servant thought that Mr. Zheng from Xiaogu County had great ability to make the gentleman have such a big change, but then he inquired and it was not the case, and now it seems that it has something to do with that dream? It's really the blessing of the old master! ”

"Ahem, it must be the great father who has a spirit and opened my mind."

Ren Hong hurriedly changed the topic: "Now that I am imprisoned, like my eldest father, I slowly accumulate merit from the pavilion chief to the county order, hoping to stand out from a small official, this road is no longer possible." ”

As for the way of selecting local talents in the Han Dynasty, the four disciplines of the inspection and selection of scholars also had nothing to do with him.

In the words of later generations, I can't even pass the political trial......

So right now, there's only one way left!

"Catch up with the Han Dynasty to reopen the Western Regions, and break through this layer of imprisonment with miraculous achievements! Then try to go back to Chang'an. ”

The law of imprisonment does not apply to military merits.

How to go in the future, Ren Hong has a long-term plan, as long as he guarantees to go to Chang'an within three or four years, he can catch up with the next once-in-a-lifetime outlet.

Because Ren Hong knows that the general Huo Guang will have a big game in the future......

"Gentleman, please let it go! The old servant will do his best to help you to the end! ”

But Xia Dingmao was also a little worried: "Some time ago, after the Western Governor learned of the identity of the gentleman, he dispelled the idea of promotion, how can the gentleman make Fu Jiezi reward you?" Can I take you to the Western Regions in the future? ”

Ren Hong was confident: "I have my own way, but it takes a few days to prepare, and Xia Weng needs to help me in this matter!" ”

Concerned about the future of the young master, Xia Dingmao was inevitably a little nervous: "Then Fu Jiezi, how long will it take to return?" ”

Ren Hongdao: "Fu Jiezi's deeds of killing the Hun envoy in Qiuzi have been passed back in advance by Hu Shang on the Silk Road, and as for himself, I am afraid that he is about to reach the Yumen Pass." Therefore, the governor of central Dunhuang asked Su Yannian and Chen Pengzu to greet them. ”

"Dunhuang County east and west hundreds of miles, there are nine places, from the Yumen Pass to this place, there are dragon place, Dunhuang place, cover to place, after this is the hanging spring place, according to the speed of the carriage and horse, go back and ......"

"Ten days."

Ren Hong had the answer: "Ten days at the latest...... Fu Jiezi will arrive at Hanging Springs! ”

Before Ren Hong and Xia Dingmao could discuss the plan in detail, a short black-faced man hurriedly walked out of the hanging spring and shouted to them:

"Ren Jun, it turns out that you are here."

But it was Lu Duohuang, who was dressed in a rough linen short, trotted over, grabbed Ren Hong and left:

"Go back with me quickly, the husband is looking for you everywhere, saying that there is something important!"
