A few days later, when the emperor's chariot finally set off for the east, the city of Luoyang was left with only sorrow.

Although the minor earthquake did not cause too serious consequences, the resulting dam failure of the Yellow River caused many losses and casualties. It took a huge amount of manpower and material resources to block the dam at the mouth of the Yellow River, which was half a month later.

Compared with these, the self-killing of General Zhongzhou and Hejian Taishou Cheng is enough to shock people. But then, even more shocking news spread. Yuan Zhao disappeared in the Taiyue Mountains, of course, this is a more obscure wording. The exact theory that has spread is that he is dead. Then the general of the Yulin Army was killed, and the general Wei Qing was demoted and expelled.

In just one day and one night, these major events happened one after another, and almost everyone who came out of Chang'an and walked here was overwhelmed. Who would have thought that after a good trip, just halfway through, there would suddenly be such a huge change!

As long as there is power, there will be struggle, and this is the immutable law of the world. Since today's son succeeded to the throne for so many years, of course, there have been many changes in the political situation. But none of this time is particularly unsettling. Because the person who died this time was Yuan Zhao, the youngest auxiliary in the history of the Han Empire.

Many pairs of eyes swept over the emperor's mighty guard of honor in confusion, and their hearts were full of emotions. Is it really as rumored that it is difficult for anyone who sits in the prime minister's seat to die well? Gongsun Hong died a few years ago, and today Yuan Zhao cannot escape this curse.

The flying cavalry sent by the emperor was speeding towards Chang'an at the fastest speed, and the news sent back by the stars and the moon was the same as that released in the name of the imperial court. It was Changle Hou Yuanzhao who unfortunately encountered a landslide and died in Taiyue Mountain in order to hunt the divine beast Qilin for the emperor. The rest of the people don't mention the secrets, and the people who know the truth are a few people after all. Perhaps soon, the smoke will dissipate, and the world will only have endless regrets and nostalgia.

And that's what some of the people who are leading the way are looking forward to. They believe that no matter how influential Yuan Zhao is, as long as he does not appear again in this world, he will soon be forgotten. The dynasty is still that dynasty, and the prosperous era is still the prosperous era, the four seasons are reincarnated, the spring and autumn are flowing, and the world is still ...... rise and fall.

However, not everyone forgets. The Tai Shi Ling, who followed the patrol team, calmed the anger in his heart, and with the pen in his hand, he had clearly recorded all the things he had heard and witnessed in the annals of history.

Since Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the historians of the past dynasties have recorded countless auspicious fortunes. Even in the name of each emperor, there is a source of auspiciousness. But in the eyes of today's Taishi Ling, who is named Sima Qian, the real auspiciousness has only appeared once in the past hundred years of the Han Dynasty!

Many years ago, everyone in the world heard that the Empress Dowager Dou had a dream, dreaming that the former emperor Emperor Wen had spirits and could not bear the suffering of the world, and sought auspiciousness for the people of the world, thinking that it would be the blessing of future generations...... Then, the boy named Yuan Zhao began to appear in the eyes of the world.

To this day, when Sima Qian, who has read ancient and modern books, once again looks back on the past things that Yuan Zhao has done, he can't help but sigh. Under three generations, there are very few people who can compare with this person! What kind of heights the future of the Han Dynasty can reach under the leadership of this person is an extremely exciting thing. But now, with his sudden death, everything is a phantom.

"Taishi Ling, Your Majesty is on patrol, and the stakes are very high. Let nothing be omitted, neither shall it be added to or subtracted...... Do you understand? ”

When he walked out of Luoyang City, the emperor's favored minister, who temporarily served as the commander of the Yulin Army as a servant of the imperial history, had a piercing cold glint in his eyes when he asked Sima Qian's words in person. However, the contemporary Taishi Ling, who writes straight with an iron pen, ignores this, and his answer is like the monsoon in spring and autumn, without any temperature.

"No need to ask!"

King Wuqiu, who had become more and more arrogant, was angry in his heart. Anyone who had been too close to Yuan Zhao before, no matter who it was, had already been blacklisted by him.

"This matter is not trivial, and what is involved in it is not something that you can discern as a small Taishi Ling. Take a look! ”

King Wuqiu, who thought he was completely in control of the overall situation, no longer hid his intentions at all. Tai Shi Ling, who doesn't have any power, really doesn't put it in his eyes. He didn't want this uproar in Luoyang to leave some indelible stain on the road to which he was about to begin. And the key to this is naturally Sima Qian. If this person is knowledgeable, he will know what is best for him.

King Wuqiu Shou is knowledgeable and eloquent. However, he didn't understand that there was a kind of person in this world who didn't know the current affairs and didn't know how to change. But if you take it from the straight and don't seek from the curve, even if the sword is added, it is difficult to grovel!

"What is the virtue of the erector? Dare to watch the history! ”

Sima Qian glanced at Taiyue Mountain, which was gradually moving away, and his words were like knives, and his tone was stern and contemptuous.

King Wuqiu Shou's face changed greatly, and his chest was full of qi, and he was already full of seven points. He reached out and pressed his sword and snapped.

"How can this be true? How dare you humiliate ...... in person! ”

"What, you dare to kill the court historian?"

"You...... Hum! Sima Qian, of course I won't do anything to you now. But if you insist on doing the right thing, don't blame you! ”

"Hahaha! You rats will only hurt people with hidden arrows. The death of Yuanhou is a great crime! I have recorded it all, and even if everyone in the world is temporarily blinded, those who come after will understand the merits of this! ”

-for-tat, half a sentence is not forgiven. King Wuqiu Shou is very angry! He wanted to draw his sword right now and kill this guy on the spot who didn't know how to work around. However, thinking about the importance that the emperor had always attached to Tai Shi Ling, he gritted his teeth again and whispered gloomily.

"Wrath of Providence...... You're going to die! Are you really not afraid of death? ”

The smile on Sima Qian's face was even colder. He wasn't meant to be a crazy person, but now he wanted to laugh like crazy! I have learned from poetry and books that the way of heaven is reincarnated, punishing evil and promoting good. But who knew what I saw today, it turned out to be a sage who died unjustly, and he was arrogant!

"Providence? ...... this world Who can truly represent the will of heaven! Don't scare me with death. There have always been only decapitated historians, but there are no history books written with curved pens. Every day is clear, black and white, good and evil have their own posterity to comment. ”

King Wuqiu Shou, whose face was blue, walked away angrily. He has secretly murdered in his heart, it is necessary to go to the emperor to say a few words, this person will definitely not be able to stay, otherwise he will be allowed to write indiscriminately in the annals of history, and there will be endless troubles!

Not long after, Emperor Liu Che, who was sitting in the carriage, opened his slightly closed eyes after listening to the report of the favored minister who was closely following outside the car window. King Wuqiu Shou was secretly happy in his heart, but what he heard afterwards was not the result he wanted.

"Sima father and son are both such upright tempers, and I have nothing to do. Historians can't be killed. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Kingdom killed their Taishi, and as a result, they were infamous by the world for hundreds of years...... I can't do this! ”

King Wuqiu Shou, who is familiar with history books, naturally knows these things. If you continue to persuade the emperor to kill Sima Qian, it will backfire. He rolled his eyes, took a few steps to follow the carriage, and whispered again.

"Your Majesty, Sima Qian has always had a lot of dealings with Yuan Zhao. I'm afraid...... This person will be biased when he writes things! If they are left unchecked, what if there is any disobedience in them......

The Emperor snorted coldly. In the corner of his eye, King Wuqiu Shou, who was secretly observing his words and expressions, hurriedly lowered his head. The chariot, Ma Xiaoxiao, the emperor's car did not stop, and the front was about to reach the land of Qilu, and Mount Tai of Dongyue was in sight.

"Summoned...... I asked him a few words. The emperor's carriage stopped, and the chief eunuch hurried away.

Moments later, Sima Qian arrived. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually put him in the royal carriage. Such an honor made King Wuqiu Shou so jealous that his eyes were red. However, Ni Kuan, who came over later, whispered a few words in his ear, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, but they both understood in their hearts that the emperor must attach great importance to the imprint left by his trip to Luoyang.

Sure enough, they were right. In the spacious and luxurious eight-horse carriage, the emperor looked at Sima Qian, who was prostrating in front of him, and only asked calmly.

"How about I want to see for myself what you've written?"

"Didn't Your Majesty ask this question not long ago? The minister's answer is still forgiveness! ”

Sima Qian, who had already had a premonition of what was going to happen, looked extremely calm. Seeing his attitude, the emperor, who was holding back his anger, roared.

"I have to see it?"

Sima Qian stood up, his neck straight, and he smiled faintly.

"It's easy for Your Majesty to see it, cut off this head on the minister's neck, look at it casually and even tamper with it...... Naturally, I won't hear the word 'no' anymore! ”

This sentence has been ruthless, and directly pointed out what Emperor Liu Che thought in his heart. Such a face-to-face confrontation is already a big rebellion. The emperor had a mouthful of old blood gushing up to his throat, almost spitting out the medicine he had just taken.

"I won't kill you, and I won't make you feel better! Hum! ”

So, when the people in the procession saw this Tai Shi Ling again, he was heavily shackled, guarded by two guards, and followed behind the brigade on foot. His Majesty's order was to let him follow the record of what he saw on patrol until he returned to Chang'an.

Many of the accompanying officials and attendants looked with pity at the man who was struggling to walk with a sinful body. The chains had worn down his ankles, and blood seeped through, but the stubborn man still walked with his head held high, and although he was a little sluggish, his head never lowered.

"Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather...... But that's it! ”

Sima Qian suppressed the resentment in his heart, and there was a light shining in his eyes. The thick and majestic mountains in front of us are in sight, and the holy land of Qilu, Dongyue Taishan, has finally arrived.
