Chapter 8 Nanyang Huang Zhong

Chen Ji saw that Han Xuan's performance was very different from that of the people he wanted to meet outside, and he secretly admired: "This son is really not ordinary, he can make such poems at a young age, and he is not moved by his fame." Han Xuan communicated with Chen Ji and learned that Chen Qun was his son, although he did not have a good impression of Chen Qun, but seeing his father this time can be regarded as the first celebrity in the late Han Dynasty since he crossed over.

And a large part of the reason why Han Xuan doesn't have a good impression of Chen Qun is because of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system he founded. Although it has the progressive nature of its times, it has become the main system of selecting officials and employing people in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but the primary criterion for selecting talents is the family lineage, followed by the ability and morality. Later, the gate valve family completely controlled the right to select officials, and the standard of talent and morality was gradually ignored, and the family background became more and more important, and even became the only standard.

Regardless of Chen Qun first, Han Xuan learned that this Chen Ji had suffered from the party's calamity before, and was imprisoned for opposing the dictatorship of eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Attendants, and was banned from being an official for life. So he was very depressed and resentful for a while, but this time he heard Han Xuan's plagiarism of Wang Anshi's poem, and he felt a lot of feelings.

Han Xuan said in high spirits: "If you are not willing to succumb to the darkness and are not afraid of the green mountains, you can get the open state of mind of a thousand sails, and you can overcome the confusion and difficulties in front of you!" Chen Ji praised: "The young man is really high-spirited, but the old man doesn't want to trouble himself anymore." ”

Han Xuan comforted Chen Ji and said: "The party will be lifted soon, Mr. just wait for the opportunity, and when the time comes, he can show his ambitions." Chen Ji didn't think so, but decided to continue to concentrate on writing.

The boat soon docked, and Han Xuan took Su Qiao'er off the boat. Chen Ji asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Han Xuan replied: "I live in Hanoi County, and this time I want to go home to visit my relatives. Chen Ji was overjoyed and said: "The old man also happened to be returning from a visit to an old friend, and the old man's family lives in Yingchuan County. You and I are still on the way, can you share a ride with me? ”

Han Xuan glanced at Su Qiao'er and shirked: "I would like to go with my husband in the next place, but I have been away from home for a long time, and my relatives at home are very worried. In addition, there are female dependents below, and it is inconvenient to go with them. I will come to visit me on another day. ”

Chen Ji said with a slight regret: "So, I hope to cherish it." Han Xuan said goodbye, chartered a carriage and went straight north with Su Qiao'er.

When they arrived in Nanyang County, it was getting late, and Han Xuan and Su Qiao'er found an inn to prepare to stay. Han Xuan: "Boss, open two upper rooms for me." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes when he saw the two of them, and said to Han Xuan: "I'm really sorry for the guest officer, the shop is full today."

Han Xuanxin said in his heart, you are a dead profiteer, and you still want to kill me. So he said to Su Qiao'er: "Sister, let's go, let's go to the next house." Su Qiao'er looked at Han Xuan's crazy eyes at her and immediately reacted: "Okay, brother." Anyway, I think this inn is also very broken, and we are not short of such a little money! ”

When the shopkeeper saw that the two were really leaving, he immediately stopped the two and said, "Two guest officers, I'm sorry." There is still one room left in the small shop today, why don't you just take a look? Han Xuan turned around to leave, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It's not to deceive the two, a group of people came today to pack the inn, and there is really only one room left." ”

Han Xuan could only live with Su Qiao'er, Su Qiao'er picked up a quilt and threw it to Han Xuan and said, "I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the ground." ”

Han Xuan said helplessly: "You sleep, I'll go out for a walk first." ”

Han Xuan came to the door of a guest room, and saw through the window that the light inside was on, he wanted to learn from the martial arts novels to make a hole in the window, who would have thought that people's windows were not made of paper at all. So he attached his ear to the wall and listened, only vaguely hearing "Great Virtuous Teacher... Envoy ...... Qu Shuai".

Hearing the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" Han Xuan, he immediately thought of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it turned out that the Yellow Turban Army was in the house, no, now it should be called the Taiping Taoist Sect. It turned out that they were planning to start an incident, no wonder they had to charter an entire inn.

As soon as Han Xuan heard "Next year, March", he heard a voice inside shouting, "Who? Someone is eavesdropping outside, catch him! ”

Han Xuan was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to the room, and the Taiping Taoist sect members came out to look around but didn't find anyone, and then went back.

Han Xuan entered the room and immediately blew out the pine oil lamp on the candlestick, and then plunged into the bed and covered himself with the quilt, only to be kicked off the bed by Su Qiao'er.

Han Xuan endured the pain and didn't let himself cry out, and Su Qiao'er blamed: "Don't you know if men and women kiss or not?" ”

Han Xuan stood up again and covered Su Qiao'er's mouth: "Shhh, be quiet, someone outside wants to arrest me." Hearing that there was no movement outside, Han Xuan let go of his hand and said, "You didn't think about whether men and women kiss me before." Su Qiao'er's face flushed a little when she heard this, but Han Xuan couldn't see it in the dark.

Han Xuan lay on the mat laid on the ground, holding the quilt and thinking, in history, the Yellow Turban Army rebelled in 184 AD, and he knew from Uncle Su that this year was the sixth year of Guanghe, and the news he heard just now was that they were going to revolt next year, so this year would be 183 AD. It's autumn, which means that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to break out in less than half a year! The Yellow Turban Army Guanghe March Uprising in the seventh year seems to have erupted in advance because of someone informant, will it produce a butterfly effect to make the Yellow Turban Uprising one step ahead? I still have to prepare early, thinking about Han Xuan, I fell asleep.

The next day, Han Xuan took Su Qiao'er out of the inn and came to the street, only to see that the people on the street were running in one direction, Su Qiao'er was curious and pulled Han Xuan to follow.

Not knowing what everyone was watching, Su Qiao'er took Han Xuan and squeezed into the crowd. I saw a pale man with purple lips kneeling on the ground. And in front of him, a man in a Taoist robe held a nine-knotted scepter in his hand and swiped his head a few times, and then nodded his head, and with a word in his mouth, he ordered someone to fetch a bowl of water, burned the charm, put it in the bowl, and let the man take it.

After a while, the man stood up and said, "I already feel better, thank you."

When the onlookers saw that the man had healed so quickly, they thought it was a miracle. Han Xuan heard a young man say, "The great sage and good teacher are really living immortals, he must have come down to save us poor people." A few years ago, many people died because of this plague, but now that we have a divine envoy, our people in Nanyang are not afraid! ”

Han Xuan naturally didn't believe this, and said to Su Qiao'er: "These are feudal superstitions and deceptions. Don't be like them, we have to believe in science! Su Qiaoer said: "My father also said that these people pretend to be gods and ghosts, but in fact, they harm the people and mislead the country."

I saw that the young man pointed at Han Xuan and Su Qiao'er and shouted, "Divine envoy, these two people slander the great sage and good teacher!"

Han Xuan immediately took Su Qiao'er's hand and ran out of the crowd taking advantage of the chaos, and ran straight out of the city, and the Taiping Taoist people behind were in hot pursuit.

The two ran to the outskirts, so tired that they couldn't run, and at this time the Taiping Taoist sect had already caught up. Han Xuanxin said that this is over, and he is going to be arrested.

Suddenly, a gust of wind was heard, and a tiger with one eye upturned and a white forehead rushed out of the mountain forest. The Taiping Taoist people were so frightened that they ran away when they saw the tiger, and the tiger opened its bloody mouth and was about to pounce on Han Xuan, Su Qiaoer was so frightened that she hid in Han Xuan's arms.

At this time, I heard a loud cry of the tiger, and then saw that the tiger was sticking an arrow in its forehead. This arrow was inserted into the tiger's head several inches, and the tiger died on the spot, which shows the great manpower of the archer.

I saw a middle-aged man in the distance put away his bow and walked towards Han Xuan, Han Xuan was shocked by the arrows of the comer, and shot the tiger in the forehead from a hundred steps away, he must be a fierce general. So he asked: "Thank you for the grace of the strong man for saving his life, I don't know the name of the strong man?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "I am Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng!" ”
