Aged soup! Could it be the old soup of the cow in history?

It's possible! Western Han Dynasty, Western Regions, Duhufu, Chen Tang, plus Zhizhi Danyu, these keywords are put together, and the answer is about to come out.

Zhang Fang has a general understanding of the history of the Western Han Dynasty, but he is like thunder about this legendary figure who has made the strongest voice in history. You may not be familiar with his name, but it is impossible not to have heard that famous saying. Unexpectedly, he actually saved himself.

Such a figure should not be met half-lying.

"Deng Zhan greets, Asher, Mi Lang, change my clothes - choose the best dress."

The place where Zhang Fang recuperates is a wooden building near the mountains and forests in the Hexi Ranch of Jiaohebi. There are many buildings like this in the vicinity, which were originally the summer resorts of the officers of the Jiaohebi Tun Army and the princes and nobles of the Cheshi. Zhang Fang and his entourage were all placed here, obviously very much valued by Captain Wu.

Just outside the wooden building, Zhang Fang, who was in the main hall and neatly dressed, saw Chen Tang.

This is the first time they have met, and at this time, I am afraid that none of them would have thought that in the days to come, they will have to face countless wind and rain side by side, and they will also usher in a dazzling rainbow.

The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk opposite Zhang Fang was about thirty to forty years old, with neat hair and a scarf and a posterior hairline, as if he was a little bald. His forehead is full and his face has a narrow contour, which makes him look a bit big. Such a person, with his appearance and size, is very ordinary, and belongs to the type that cannot be found when thrown into the pile. Up and down, I can't find the slightest military atmosphere, but I look like a teacher.

When he is talking, his eyes are warm and soft, his face is always full of smiles, and he is full of emotions and can be very contagious.

This is Chen Tang.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was not amazing, and could even be said to be a little "disabled", Zhang Fang was somewhat stunned. Shaoqing, smiled, relieved. Historical celebrities, probably like this, are handsome or ugly, after all, there are only a few.

The two of them each knelt behind the short case and folded their sleeves in salute.

After the ceremony, Zhang Fang thanked Chen Tang again and again, thanking Chen Tang for his kindness and rescue.

Chen Tang thanked him again and again, and Guo Xi, who had not returned from pursuing the Huns, confessed to Zhang Fang, and said that he had not come to visit until now, first, because he was entangled in military affairs, and secondly, he heard that Zhang Fang's mouthpiece was injured and he could not speak out, so he postponed the visit.

After some due ceremony, Chen Tang stroked his beard and smiled: "Gongzi is really a dragon and phoenix among people, three points like the Marquis of Fuping, seven points like Princess Jingwu, Song Yu is reborn, but that's it." ”

Zhang Fang also smiled: "Chen Jun won't be because he is like Weng's mother in Xia Xiao, and Fang Xin is from the Fuping Marquis Mansion, so he will help, right?" ”

Chen Tang smiled slightly, and gave a thumbs up in his heart, this young monarch is so sensitive, he can casually follow his praise and easily throw out his questions. Then he smiled and said: "Presumably, your family has already told you about the situation that day, and the son has this suspicion." ”

Zhang Fang said calmly: "I am very curious, why is Chen Jun so sure that it is Zhang Fang who is trapped in Fengsui, and he is even more willing to take risks and personally lead the army to relieve the siege." ”

"It's easy to say." Chen Tang stepped out of the short case, came to Zhang Fang, sat face to face, took out an object from his pocket, held it with both hands, and returned it to Zhang Fang, "This is because of this." ”

Zhang Fang took it and looked at it - half a palm-sized, round and white, it was the jade jue he was carrying.

"Chen Jun knows this?"

"When Miao Hou Xingding summoned Tang to attend the meeting, he saw this thing on the waist of Xingding Gong, so he knew it."

Who is Xingding Gong? Zhang Fang heard this title for the first time. But Chen Tang's short sentence revealed a lot of information that could be analyzed. First of all, this jade is a family heirloom, so "Miao Hou" should refer to Zhang Fang's ancestors (because "Miao Hou" is a nickname, it cannot be Zhang Fang's father). Secondly, judging from Chen Tang's age, it is impossible to have an intersection with Zhang's grandparents, at most it is Zhang Fang's grandparents. Therefore, the "Xingding Gong" in his mouth is the word of Zhang Fang's grandfather, Zhang Bo, the third generation of Fuping Marquis.

Does Chen Tang have an intersection with the Fuping Hou family? This is fresh, and I was about to ask carefully, but I didn't expect Chen Tang to speak amazingly.

"Chen Tang helped this time, not to ask for the gratitude of the son, but only to repay the kindness of the descendants of Fuping, in order to atone for the sin of the soup."

"Repay the favor? Redeem...... Crime? Zhang Fang was surprised, if it was said that Lao Miao Hou was kind to Chen Tang, it would be reasonable, but what about this atonement?

Chen Tang noticed Zhang Fang's surprised expression, and raised his eyebrows: "Childe doesn't know?" ”

"Well, I don't know." Zhang Fang didn't know whether "he" should know about it, but he couldn't fool the past, so he could only admit it first and then act at the opportunity.

Chen Tang stroked his head and nodded: "Yes, this is the second year of the first century, when the prince was still young, and this matter is related to the reputation of the Marquis Miao, and the prince has not mentioned it, and it should be." ”

It turns out that I don't know if it's normal, Zhang Fangdian breathed a sigh of relief, and put on a look of listening.

Chen Tang wanted to speak and stopped, sighed, confessed, and turned back to the back of the case. In the process, he seemed to have adjusted his mentality, and when he faced Zhang Fang again, he had calmed down. Then, the narration begins. The story begins ten years ago in the second year of the first century (47 BC).

In February of the second year of the first century, there was a major earthquake in Longxi, which destroyed the city and houses, and many people died. In March, Emperor Yuan, who had just been on the throne for two years and was particularly sensitive to celestial phenomena related to the fortunes of the country, not only issued an edict to exempt the people in the earthquake-stricken areas from rent, but also asked his ministers to nominate people who were different from Mao and were outspoken and extremely admonished to correct their own mistakes.

In this context, Zhang Bo, Marquis of Fuping, recommended a person to Emperor Yuan, and this person was Chen Tang. At that time, Chen Tang served as a Taiguan Shicheng, a petty official in charge of sacrificial food. This is what Chen Tang said earlier about repaying his kindness. As for how Chen Tang, a fighting food official, was recommended by the dignified Fuping Marquis, he didn't elaborate. However, judging from Zhang Fang's contact during this time, Chen Tang spoke attentively and enthusiastically, which was very infectious. Such a person can easily win the trust of others, and his grandfather must have appreciated it because of this.

This is a good thing, and if things go well, it could be a good story of discernment. It's a pity that during Zhang Bo's death, Chen Tang also had an accident. He did not run for mourning because of his father's death, and was impeached by Sili Lieutenant Zhuge Feng. Emperor Yuan was furious and ordered Chen Tangyu to be imprisoned, and the recommender Zhang Bo was also implicated and was cut to 200 households.

In the meantime, Zhang Boxin was mourned. After the death of the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, it was customary to be titled, and Zhang Bo's nickname was "Marquis Miao".

What does "Miao" mean? It's up to you how you want to interpret it. has a good meaning, such as taking precautions, Miao Qiao; There is also a bad meaning, such as a mistake, that is, the meaning of making a mistake. Previously, there were so many marquis who had made mistakes in the Han Dynasty, which was a big shame for the Fuping Marquis family.

Tracing back to the source, Chen Tang was the initiator, and he ranked first on the list of the most unpopular people in the Fuping Marquis Mansion. It is also for this reason that he was full of guilt when facing Zhang Fang. But I don't know that this "Fuping Young Marquis" doesn't know these old stories at all, let alone many of them.

This is the ins and outs of what Chen Tang called "repaying gratitude" and "atonement".
