Chang'an, on the streets of the east of the city, several horses stopped on the side of the road, one of which sat on the horse was an old man over the age of six, who was a scholar Liu Zhen, who was going to visit his friend Liu Ne today, but only knew that the other party lived in the east of the city, but did not know the specific address.

So Liu Zhen instructed his entourage to find someone to ask for directions, but the man couldn't ask anything, looking at the old man who was sitting on the horse and closing his eyes to recuperate, he stubbornly said to ask again, and turned his head to discuss with his companions.

"What to do? Lord Lang has never asked about the world, although he is good friends with Liu Yitong, but he has never visited the door, how do I know where Liu Yitong lives. ”

"Well, why don't you just go around, and if it's almost over, you can't find it."

"Alas, I said I was a friend, I don't even know where people live, what's going on!"

Their lord Liu Zhen, now sixty one, weekdays love books, especially good at two Han books, the people of the time called "Han Sheng", Emperor Wu of Zhou was a bachelor of Lumen, and Yang Jian was a bachelor of Taixue in the Sui Dynasty, and Liu Ne was a good friend of the bachelor.

Liu Zhen is immersed in the subset of scriptures and history all day long, he doesn't ask about the world, many people don't know much about the world, and the servants slander in private, saying that the old man is not so much a "Han Sheng" as a nerd.

Since he is a nerd, it is very easy to bluff, the two entourages decided to go back to the house directly, anyway, after returning to his mansion, the old man will probably give up the idea of visiting another bachelor Liu.

I can't figure out people's addresses, but I still have friends!

The entourage took Liu Zhen around for a while, turned straight and headed towards the south of the city, and soon returned to his mansion, Liu Zhen didn't know, and ordered the entourage to step forward and knock on the door, and he shouted loudly: "Is Liu Yi at home!" ”

Yitong Sansi is a loose rank awarded by Liu Ne in the imperial court when he was in the Sui State, and Liu Zhen also awarded the same three divisions, so the two Liu Bachelors are also Liu Yitong, of course, now that the Sui State is gone, the old owner Zhou Guo does not recognize the 'false position'.

The porter saw that it was his own lord who was calling the door outside, and shouted "Liu Yitong", he was suspicious in his heart, thinking that it was the old man who had hysteria, so he hurriedly brought Da Langjun over.

"Your Excellency!" Liu Zhen's eldest son went out to greet him, of course, the "adult" in his mouth is the common use of "adult" in this era - to refer to parents.

Liu Zhen saw his son coming out of the 'Liu Ne's house', and couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? Dalang, are you also a guest at Liu Yi's house? Why don't you travel with your father? ”

Liu Zhen's eldest son was speechless, and his father was just confused in reading, and he couldn't even recognize the door of his mansion, and after explaining it clearly, Liu Zhen suddenly realized, looked at his entourage and reproached: "You guys, I'm going to Liu Yi's house, why did I turn back?" ”

The two entourages hurriedly confessed, Liu Zhen waved his hand and turned around to get on the horse again, the eldest son said that he was holding him back, saying that if he wanted to avoid suspicion now, he would not make trouble for Master Liu.

"Being a father is just talking about books and scriptures with Liu Yi, why bother with him?"

This is just an excuse for Liu Zhen's eldest son, and he doesn't know where Liu Ne's family is, so he doesn't want his father to toss, in case he lets himself lead the way, it will be asking for trouble.

Liu Zhen doesn't care about the world, since the Zhou army recovered Chang'an, he has quit 'pseudo-Taixue', so his bachelor's position is naturally gone, and he doesn't know how the imperial court will deal with it now.

Anyway, he has been at home for more than a year, and the same is true of another bachelor Liu, and it is not good to leave Chang'an without authorization, so as not to find someone in the imperial court when he thinks about it one day, so Liu Zhen's eldest son feels that it is better for his father to stay at home honestly and read books, and it is better to have more than one thing.

When people are old, there are some children with tempers, Lao Liu wants to visit 'Liu Yitong', Xiao Liu strongly persuades "another day", just when the two fathers and sons were competing in front of their homes, Bachelor Liu came.

"Xuanzhi! Long time no see! ”

The two old friends haven't seen each other for a long time, naturally they can't avoid a greeting, the two intersect, in addition to often meeting in Taixue, it has always been Liu Ne to visit, today Liu Ne is in a good mood, after the end of the greetings, he will get straight to the point: "Xuanzhi, I want to test you two questions." ”

"Please."

"Do you know when Jincheng County was established?"

Liu Zhen twisted his beard when he heard this, and after just a few breaths, he said: "Emperor Xiaozhao of the Han Dynasty started in the sixth year of the first century. ”

Liu Ne nodded when he heard this, and asked another question: "Can Xuanzhi know where the water came from in the two Han Dynasty?" ”

This question is a bit biased, but it still can't help Liu Zhen, he is familiar with the two Han books, so he quickly said: ""Hanshu Geography Eighth: Yucheng (city), "Yugong" Qianshui out of the north of its pavilion, southeast into Luo (Luo). ”

""The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Junguo" 1: Xucheng, there is water out, into the Hanguguan."

"Therefore, when the water is in the Han Dynasty, it should be out of the city."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Ne stroked his palms and laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Xuanzhiguo deserves the name of 'Han Sheng'! ”

After speaking, he took out a book from his arms, Liu Zhen took it and looked at it, the title of the book is "A Preliminary Study of the Authenticity of Ancient Texts and Books", this book is a popular thread-bound book style today, Liu Zhen is no stranger, so he quickly saw the preface.

"It's... How is this possible? ”

"How impossible! You also said that Jincheng County was placed in the sixth year of the Han (Xiao) Zhao Emperor, and when the water was in the two Han Dynasty, out of the city, the Eastern Jin Dynasty Mei Zhen presented the "Shangshu Biography", the flaws in these two places are too obvious! ”

"There is an attachment at the back of the book, you can take a look, it is the "Biography of Shangshu" dedicated by Mei Zhen, to see if the content is like this?"

Liu Zhen looked at the books in his hand, the more he looked at them, the more he became fascinated, sometimes in a state of contemplation, sometimes in a state of sudden realization, and before he knew it, a stick of incense had passed, and his eldest son coughed when he couldn't stand it beside him.

However, Lao Liu didn't come back to his senses, and Xiao Liu had no choice but to cough a few more times, so as to remind his father that there were guests in front of him.

"This book is really good!" Liu Zhen was full of praise, and Liu Ne nodded and said: "Of course, Chang'an Bookstore just put this book on the counter, and it was sold out not long after, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper to keep a copy for me, I'm afraid I would have missed it." ”

"The shopkeeper left a book? How does the shopkeeper know you're going to read this book? ”

"It's not a secret, I've been living at home for more than a year and doing nothing, and it's not good to move around at will, so I go to the bookstore from time to time, so the shopkeeper is familiar with me, and this book proves that Mei Zhen's "Shangshu Biography" is a forgery, and the store naturally wants to keep a copy of me."

Speaking of this, Liu Ne explained his intentions: "Liu Shiyuantuo's store sent a letter inviting me to Xiyang, Huangzhou, Shannan, how about it, do you want to go and see it together?" ”

"Shannan..."Liu Zhen groaned, not worried about anything, but remembering the past.

He was a native of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, at the age of eighteen, he was a talented man, because of the rebellion of Hou Jing to avoid Jiangling, and later Liang became a vassal state of the Western Wei (Zhou State), he was protected by Wang Yuwen of the Zhou State Jin as a Chinese and foreign government secretary, and settled in Chang'an since then.

Later the King of Jin was executed, Liu Zhen was not implicated, and became a bachelor of Zhou Guotaixue - a bachelor of Lumen, who has been doing studies for decades, but has never returned to his hometown.

Although Huangzhou is not his hometown, it is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the customs and customs are somewhat similar, so...

"My lord, if you go to Xiyang, your family will be shy, I'm afraid..."

Liu Zhen's eldest son raised a very practical question, it was impossible for him to let his parents go to Huangzhou alone, so a large family had to follow, so when he arrived in Xiyang, where he was unfamiliar with his life, what should he do with the family's expenses?

"It's okay, Liu Shiyuan said in the letter that he will bear the corresponding expenses, besides..."Liu Ne slowed down and continued: "Besides, Huangzhou Bookstore is in urgent need of school books, Xuanzhi is proficient in the two Han books, and he is not afraid of having nothing to do." ”

"Huangzhou books are selling well in Chang'an, everyone can see, Chang'an bookstore hires school book people, the monthly salary is good, and Huangzhou bookstore is especially on it, with this income, the family must have no worries about food and clothing."

"Liu Shiyuan is like a fish in water in Huangzhou, and Liu Guangbo has also arrived in Huangzhou, so we have nothing to do in Xiyang, wouldn't it be nice to talk to these two about books?"

Liu Zhen doesn't know anything about the world, and he never asks about the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home, so he didn't think about how the family would live in Huangzhou at all, but when he talked about being able to talk to the world-famous 'Er Liu', he instantly became energetic.

Seeing that his old friend was moved, Liu Ne struck while the iron was hot: "Xuanzhi!" Liu Shiyuan and Liu Guangbo are called 'Er Liu', and the two of us are also 'Er Liu', since Er Liu is in Xiyang, Huangzhou, why not go to Xiyang for the other two Er Liu? ”

"My lord, if you go to Xiyang, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the government to do it." Liu Zhen's eldest son reminded him again that although his father was idle at home, after all, he was also a 'rebellious' minister, and if he didn't say goodbye, he was afraid that there would be villains chewing his tongue.

Regarding this problem, Liu Ne has already calculated: "This matter naturally has to be reported to the government, but I don't think it's a big problem." ”

"Yongzhou Mu and Huangzhou Governor are uncles and nephews, so I don't think I will have any opinions."

"Besides, that stinky Zheng Yi was able to temporarily live in Huangzhou for more than a year before, so why should I wait?"
