Chapter 1 Entering Chang'an

Next Chapter

In the second year of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, the Liu Han Dynasty has been in the world for nearly 50 years, the three generations of emperors of Gaozu, Emperor Hui and Emperor Wen, respect the art of Huang Lao, recuperate and recuperate, and hide the wealth in the people.

Although this prosperous scene was built on fire and cooking oil, after the wars at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, the life at this time still satisfied the people.

The spring breeze in February is like scissors, the cold winter has passed, the spring breeze is coming, the slanting willows support the wind, and the greenery is full.

The prosperity of the crown of Beijing, the wind is full of Chang'an City.

A black ox cart, squeaky from the east gate of Chang'an City, although this car is not too gorgeous, but the decoration is simple and majestic, the driver is a tiger's back, obviously not easy to match.

When they reached the market, two sturdy servants appeared, leading the ox cart slowly down the driveway.

The people walking on the side of the road were all looking at the ox cart carefully, thinking about which distant relative of the Chao family this was?

After all, most of the two sturdy servants in the bazaar knew each other, and they were the people of the family of the most popular imperial historian in Chang'an City today.

And sitting in the ox cart there were two people, one was an old man, with gray hair, frowning, sighing from time to time.

The other is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, he is wearing a beautiful blue satin suit, a navy blue animal pattern wide belt tied around his waist, a pair of sideburns like cloud hair, a pair of wise, calm, smart eyes, red lips and white teeth, handsome face, extraordinary appearance, strong body, really fresh and handsome jade tree in the wind.

Seeing the old man sigh, the young man smiled and said, "Big brother, why worry so much? According to the younger brother's opinion, the eldest brother personally entered Chang'an from Yingchuan, and the wrong child will not dare to disobey the eldest brother's will, after all, the country has ruled the world with filial piety for 50 years. ”

"Having said that, but loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness have existed in ancient times, my son has always had the ambition of Lingyun, and now he is valued by the Son of Heaven, and he will definitely seek the country and not his life, this is the old man so worried." The old man sighed and said.

"Make up for it, you are always wise in your hometown, so this time the old man brought you here, I hope you can persuade the wrong child."

The young man, that is, Chao Buzhi, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Eldest brother, the wrong child is now a doctor of the imperial history, ranked as the third duke, with a noble status, and is deeply respected by the Son of Heaven, even if it is Shen Tujia, Dou Wangsun (Dou Ying), Yuan Ang and others are not their opponents, although I am called an elder, but ····· Words may not be able to sway his thoughts, after all, I am still young. ”

"Alas! You're right, you can only do your best and obey the destiny of heaven. Father Chao sighed and said worriedly.

Chao Buzhi nodded when he heard this, opened the curtain, and looked at the bustling Chang'an City, the quaint buildings, and the pedestrians coming and going, with excitement, panic, and a trace of unspeakable loneliness in his eyes.

The wheels kept turning, and after about half an hour, they finally came to a stop in front of a very simple but extraordinary house.

The Han Dynasty emphasized the prestige, so Xiao He said when he built the Changle Palace: "If it is not magnificent, it cannot be powerful." ”

As the most important courtier of the Son of Heaven, when he was the imperial historian of the dynasty, he killed the prime minister Shen Tujia in anger, forced away the prestige of Dou Wangsun, Yuan Ang and other generations, and the mansion was elegant and thick, solemn and beautiful.

But Chao Cuo is really not a good person, Chao Buzhi sighed heavily, feeling that the future is a little bleak.

He was originally a librarian in a provincial city in the 21st century, who would have thought that after a drunken scene, he would come to the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty and become Chao Cuo's uncle.

Yingchuan Chao's family, derived from the surname Ji, traced up, the ancestor of the surname is the son of King Zhou Jing, Wang Zichao, or the patriotic doctor Shi Chao (also known as Shi Yuan).

It is recorded in "Historical Records, Chao Wrong Biography, Suoyin": "The Chao clan came out of Nanyang, and now the Chao clan in Western Hubei is also. ”

Tracing the source, the Yingchuan Chao family is also a descendant of the Zhou family, and it is also the house of Zhongming Ding food, the heirloom of poetry, books and etiquette, and the way of splendid articles.

And Chao Buzhi himself is surnamed Chao, so he is still familiar with Chao's name, especially Chao Mistake and Chao Gai, who have done a lot of things.

One is famous for "Qing Jun's side, punishing Chao wrong", and the other is the chief scoop and founder of Liangshan.

What is particularly ridiculous is that after he arrived in the Han Dynasty, his surname was Chao Mingsheng, and the word made up for it, and he suddenly took up the name of Chao Buzhi, a celebrity.

After coming to the Han Dynasty, it took more than a year for Chao Buzhi to slowly become familiar with the living habits and speaking methods of the Han Dynasty, and he also relied on some experience in his previous life to solve some disputes between the Chao family in Yingchuan, so he won the reputation of wit, and was praised by Chao's father and others as another horse of the Chao family after his mistake.

A foal, a newborn or a young animal under one year of age.

But obviously, in the eyes of the Chao family, the distance between Chao and the people who made up for it has become famous, and there is still a big gap in terms of the Chao mistake that threatens Chang'an.

Therefore, this time, Chao's father entered Chang'an to persuade Chao to make mistakes, so he would bring him here, first, he belonged to the rising star of the Chao family, and took him to travel thousands of miles to increase his knowledge; He is known for his eloquence and wants to use his talent to convince Chao Cuo.

But how difficult it is to convince Chao Cuo, Su Shi wrote in "The Theory of Chao Wrong": "Those who set up great things in ancient times not only have supernatural talents, but also have perseverance and perseverance." ”

"Whew! The gentleman of the world, if he wants to make extraordinary achievements, he has no plan for self-improvement. ”

As the old saying goes: the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

Chao's wrong character, ambitions, and even temperament and ethics are the crux of his killing.

Coupled with the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the momentum is so great, the cholera is the whole world, and the soldiers are prosperous, pointing directly to Chang'an City.

The whole court thought that it was unstoppable, and Emperor Jing's country was likely to fall.

Emperor Jing was a little panicked for a while, and the prime minister Tao Qing, lieutenant Chen Jia, court lieutenant Zhang Ou, general Dou Ying, Taichang Yuan Ang and others who he wanted to use to quell the chaos all had contradictions with Chao Cuo, in order to gain time to transfer troops, to obtain a righteous name, and to eliminate the internal instability.

Emperor Jing weighed it again and again, and cut Chao wrong in the East City, at that time Chao was still wearing court clothes, which must not be saddened and ironic.

However, from the perspective of Chao Buzhi, the world thinks that Chao Wrong suffers from loyalty, don't you know that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the blessing and misfortune are only overnight.

What's more, Emperor Jing obeyed Chao's wrong words, so that Chao Cuo could show his ambitions in his chest, a pair of good friends, he could live for it, and he could die for it, so he didn't die unjustly.

This is similar to Cao Cao's conquest of Yuanshu, borrowing the head of the grain official to calm the grievances in the camp.

So looking at this vermilion lacquer door, Chao Buzhi sighed heavily, and took a long breath to hide his tears, and it was hard to say that he was wrong!

But when he thought about the system in his head, he gained a lot of confidence.
