Chapter 110: Zhuge Steel's Past
Regarding Zhuge Steel's appearance at this time, Fu Xiaotian and the others were naturally a little puzzled, what does this mean?
Who is this Wenxin? Is Zhuge Iron and Steel a good old man?
At this time, Yang Sili on the side frowned and said, "Wenxin, isn't that the emperor's sister, the former princess Wenxin?" Mr. Zhuge , do you know each other? ”
"Yes, I know, I know each other very well." Zhuge Iron and Steel said in a low voice, looking like he was in great pain.
At this time, Ban Yunyun asked on the side: "Xiao Yang, how do you know about Princess Wenxin?" I don't even know about your sister. ”
Yang Sili glanced at Ban Yunyun and said speechlessly: "Everyone in Chang'an City knows that I am not a turtle, how can I not know." ”
"Boy, who do you say is the turtle, believe it or not, I beat you." Xie Feikui's beard trembled and said irritably.
"No, no, I'm just talking."
In fact, Yang Sili silently added in his heart, of course my aunt knows.
At this time, Zhuge Iron and Steel had also recovered, sat on the ground weakly, and said slowly: "Actually, this is the case, please let me say it slowly..."
······
Fifteen years ago, Zhuge Iron and Steel was nineteen years old, he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he was very talented when he was young. You must know that this talent is not very easy to be admitted, and there is even a precedent that there is a subject where no one has ever been able to show talent.
Therefore, the gold content of Xiucai is very high. This is also very understandable, why Fu Xiaotian can directly become the county magistrate without going through the follow-up exam. After all, the Xiucai in this Han Kingdom was not the Ming and Qing dynasties on the earth at that time, and there was no situation where Xiucai was all over the place.
To get back to the point, Zhuge Iron and Steel came to Chang'an City alone at the age of nineteen to take the exam, which shocked everyone. A nineteen-year-old boy turned out to be the top of the high school list and became the champion.
Young talent, champion posture, and a good face that is still alive, it is natural that there are many suitors of young girls.
As the saying goes, the spring breeze is proud, and one day to see all the Chang'an flowers, Zhuge Iron and Steel was indeed proud of the spring breeze at that time. In the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an City, Zhuge Iron and Steel personally mentioned his name, which aroused the envy of many people.
It was on this day that Zhuge Iron and Steel met Princess Wenxin, Li Wenxin, Li Wenxin was only seventeen years old at the time, and he was also a water spirit, which can be described as a noble color. However, Zhuge Iron and Steel at that time didn't know that she was the princess of the dynasty.
The two fell in love with each other and began to date slowly. At that time, because Zhuge Iron and Steel was relatively young, the imperial court gave him an official from the fifth grade, the secretary, who was responsible for taking charge of things like civil service.
Because it is in Chang'an, Zhuge Steel is naturally very happy. After all, you can be with Princess Wenxin. But after a long time, Zhuge Iron and Steel also found some clues, and knew that Li Wenxin was the princess of the dynasty, so Zhuge Iron and Steel was scared, and he actually liked the princess.
Later, under Wenxin's persuasion, Zhuge Iron and Steel didn't care about her identity. The two continued to talk happily about their feelings. However, five years later, that is, ten years ago, the Tubo State began to attack the Han State on a large scale, and the Han State was also short of soldiers and horses at this time, so in desperation, it chose peace talks.
In the end, the situation of the peace talks was that three thousand taels of gold, which was a big expense for a country, and the Jianyuan Emperor at that time originally disagreed. However, those civil officials in the court repeatedly dissuaded, saying that the country could not afford to fight now, so it was better to obey them.
Later, Emperor Jianyuan took out the three thousand taels of gold from the treasury and sent a military officer surnamed Luo, Zhaowu Lieutenant, to escort this batch of gold.
The original plan was to negotiate peace with Tubo in a small town in Yumen Pass, but I didn't expect that this gold had just left Chang'an City for two days, and it was gone in Dingxi County.
Even with it, the military official surnamed Luo also disappeared, some people say that he was killed, and some people say that he escaped with gold. This is a full three thousand taels of gold, and there is the seal of the government on it, even if it is used, no one dares to ask for it.
After this incident came out, Emperor Jianyuan at that time was very angry and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and this gold must be recovered no matter what, but where can it be so easy?
Seeing that the Tibetan army is eyeing the border passes, if they can't come up with the peace negotiation money, then they will attack on a large scale, and when the time comes, it will only make the country even more scarred.
At this time, Emperor Jianyuan, who had not had much time, was once again a little unbearable. In order to alleviate this crisis, Princess Wenxin took the initiative to go to Tibet to make peace.
You know, Princess Wenxin is Emperor Jianyuan's most beloved daughter, how can he bear to let his daughter suffer there? For this reason, Princess Wenxin asked the ministers to hide from Emperor Jianyuan and go alone.
So, the team set off like this, with only some royal dowries and three or five servants. Also, there is Zhuge Steel around him.
When Zhuge Iron and Steel knew the news, it was ten thousand unwilling and very painful. But what could he do? He is a civilian official, he will not go into battle to kill the enemy, he can only talk on paper.
At that time, Zhuge Iron and Steel even wanted to kill himself, and if he had gone into battle to kill the enemy, this time it would definitely be another scene. Zhuge Iron and Steel resigned from his official position and followed Princess Wenxin, and along the way, neither of them spoke.
Zhuge Iron and Steel hated it, hated himself for being incompetent, so he could only use wine to kill his sorrows.
On that day, Zhuge Iron and Steel personally looked at his Princess Wenxin and walked out of the Jade Gate Pass. Yes, slowly, slowly, until Princess Wenxin disappeared. Personally sending away his beloved, that sense of powerlessness and guilt made Zhuge Iron and Steel unforgettable for a long time.
Therefore, he drank all day long, and when he was in Lingzhou, it was the same, ten years have passed, and Zhuge Iron and Steel is no longer the young man.
This is also why, when he learned that Fu Xiaotian was going to let Nie Xiaomeng go to kiss, he was very angry...
Later, Emperor Jianyuan learned about this incident, was angry, and died violently on the same day, and Emperor Jiande took office. And the three thousand taels of gold disappeared without a trace, and ten years have passed, and many people have forgotten about this gold.
I don't know, where it went. For a lot of people, it doesn't matter anymore. But for Zhuge Steel, this is the nightmare of his life!
