Chapter 948 Princes of the Early Han Dynasty

Li Cangxing let out a soft "oh": "Water hole? What's that? ”

Qu Caifeng pondered for a while, and said: "On this Tianma Mountain Eagle Flying Rock, there was originally a hollow cave, there was a dark exposure inside, down the cave wall, I saw a stone tablet in the ancient tomb, saying that the king of Changsha listened to what Fang Shi said, he was destined for a lack of water, only the mausoleum was built in a place where there was water, in order to make up for this water, in order to make his descendants blessed." ”

Speaking of this, Qu Caifeng's eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, I remember, this king of Changsha is from the Western Han Dynasty, what is his name Wu Bing." He also said that he was short of water, so he found Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty at that time, and left the fertile place of the Central Plains not to go, but to go to Changsha City, which is close to the Yangtze River, to be the king of Changsha, just to replenish this water. Cangxing, you are more knowledgeable than me, what is this Wu, do you know? ”

Li Cangxing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dumb smile: "What Wu Bing, it's Wu Rui, Wu Rui, the king of Changsha in the early Western Han Dynasty!" ”

Qu Caifeng hooked the corners of his mouth unhappily: "Hmph, you know a lot, how can we women understand these ancients thousands of years ago." By the way, isn't the prince only able to have the same surname as the emperor? Our princes of the Ming Dynasty are all surnamed Zhu, that Wu or something, Rui, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, are not a family. ”

Li Cangxing nodded, and said as he walked forward: "Yes, Wu Rui is the descendant of Wu Wangfucha in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Wu State was destroyed by the Yue Kingdom, the princes of the Wu State scattered and fled, one of them fled to the Poyang Lake area of today's Jiangxi Province and settled down, and Wu Rui is the descendant of this branch. Coincidentally. Hundreds of years later, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the King of Chu. This time, it was the turn of the descendants of King Yue to flee in all directions, and one of them changed their surname to Mei. also entered the Jiangxi area, and lived with the remnants of the Wu family of the Wu family, who were not the enemies of the sky back then, but they were also the people who had fallen to the end of the world, which can be regarded as a creation and a man. ”

Qu Caifeng didn't blink his eyes when he heard this, and sighed: "There is still such a thing, the hatred of destroying the country can't stand the dilution of time, it seems that this descendant of the Wu family and the Mei family." It's quite open. And then? ”

Li Cangxing recalled the content of the history books he had read before, and said: "Later, the Wu Mei family also started a marriage, Wu Rui's father married a woman from the Mei family and gave birth to Wu Rui, Wu Rui has been strong in martial arts since he was a child, but he was short of water in his life, and he almost died of thirst or was burned to death by fire several times. let him escape these catastrophes, and later became a famous hero in Poyang, and even the officials of the imperial court had to give him three points. ”

Qu Caifeng smiled: "It's a pity that we weren't born in that era. It seems that when the Qin and Han dynasties intersected, the power of the green forest was still very large, and it was not like now that the dog officials were bullied everywhere. ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly. said: "The times are different, at that time, the Spring and Autumn period was still a feudal system. The royal power was not under the fiefdoms, and the noble lords were not very expropriatory. Especially for Poyang, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is often a village or a township autonomy, and a powerful person can be elected to collect some grain taxes on behalf of the government, because at that time they were all living in the clan, and the villagers were embarrassed to force too hard, so a strong person like Wu Rui is a bit like your Wushan faction, which is naturally admired by the people, and even only recognizes this Wu Rui, not the emperor. ”

Qu Caifeng nodded: "I really envy that era." And then? ”

Li Cangxing continued: "Later, Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and set up counties in various places, and Poyang became the first county in Jiangxi Province, called Fanyi County, but this was the hometown of Chu State, and Qin State had no time to digest it, and it could not forcibly promote the harsh Qin Law here, so the Huairou policy was adopted, and the local people elected a county order to rule, and as a result, the local people jointly elected this Wu Rui as the Fanyi Order. ”

Qu Caifeng said with a smile: "According to this, if we get to that time, wouldn't I be able to become a county magistrate?" ”

Li Cangxing nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, when the time comes, our Qu Nuxia will become Lord Qu, sitting in the court every day to try cases, and traveling is to hug the front and back, so not majestic." ”

Qu Caifeng shook his head: "I'm not uncommon to be like this at all, it's better to follow you and Sister Mu everywhere." As long as you become an official, you have to do a lot of things that go against your heart, how can you be free and happy. ”

Li Cangxing's eyebrows raised: "Caifeng is right." Let's continue to talk about this Wu Rui, after he became the Poyang Commander, he let his relative, who is also his mother's clansman, and his companion Mei Juan, who grew up playing with him since childhood, become an officer, and led thousands of migrated Yue people, crossed Wuling to the south, and arrived in the area of Meixian County, which is now Guangdong Province, and guarded the southern border for Fanyi Town. Later, in the last years of the Qin State, Qin II acted perversely, provoking the people in the world, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took the lead in the uprising in Daze Township, and the world's servants gathered. Liu Bang, who later became the first emperor, and Xiang Yu also had troubles. For a time, the rule of the Qin Dynasty was shaky. ”

Qu Caifeng nodded: "I know this, later the Qin Dynasty first destroyed Xiang Yu, and then Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, and finally Liu Bang won and established the Han Dynasty, right?" ”

Li Cangxing sighed: "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising ignited the fire of the people of the world to resist the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, but they themselves were first wiped out by the Qin army, Wu Rui was an official of the Qin State, but seeing that the general trend of the world was like this, he decided to abandon Qin, so he recalled Mei Juan, who was guarding the area of Meishan Wuling, and planned to do great things, at first they did not play the anti-flag, but to protect the territory and the people, and held a wait-and-see state, and waited until Xiang Yu eliminated the main force of the 300,000 Qin army in the battle of Julu, they judged that the fall of the Qin Dynasty was inevitable, so they officially opposed Qin, Invested in Xiang Yu's subordinates. ”

"Wu Rui also secretly sheltered a fierce general named Yingbu, who was born as a prisoner and had a tattoo on his face, also known as Dubu."

Qu Caifeng said curiously: "What do you mean? Why do you have to change this surname after you have a tattoo? ”

Li Cangxing said with a smile: "In the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, corporal punishment was prevalent, and those who committed crimes were not beaten and imprisoned as they are now, but directly cut off their broken feet, and the lightest was to tattoo words on their faces, becoming prisoners and prisoners, and they had to be forced to perform manual labor. ”

Qu Caifeng scolded hatefully: "What kind of bullshit punishment, tattoos on the face, how will you see people in the future?" These former emperors are really bad, they should really have a tattoo on their faces! (To be continued......)
