In January of the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the land of Guanzhong was covered with snow, and even if you walked on the street, you could see the hoarfrost everywhere-

The four-wheeled carriages on the galloping road of Guanzhong Neishi County winded into the distance, which was the convoy of powerful landlords from the six countries of Kanto, and a full 20,000 households entered Guanzhong in four batches, and this convoy was the last group of migrants to reach Guanzhong.

Their destination was Yangling on the north bank of the Wei River, the mausoleum of the late Emperor Gaozongjing, whose descendants would live for generations in the city surrounding Yangling, giving birth to generations of Wuling heroes.

"There are still thirty miles to reach Yangling, everyone move faster, don't delay time."

The soldiers of the county who were escorting the procession followed the tail of the procession, and from time to time they glanced back at the group of caravans that followed behind the procession.

Every time the grain and grass are escorted and the guards enter Beijing, there will be a group of similar merchants hanging behind the team, and they will go as fast as the county soldiers go, and there is no need to worry too much about the protection of this group of soldiers to follow the brigade to sleep in the wilderness, and you can virtually save the travel expenses of staying in the post station.

Of course, the soldiers of the county were very unhappy, but they could only be unhappy in their hearts, the long queue behind them did not decrease but increased, and they also imitated the convoy of migrating to Lingyi in front, and they also pulled up a long convoy.

Since the large-scale mass production of the four-** carriage in Shaofu, the luxury goods that were originally very expensive and only owned by a few people, gradually depreciated and popularized into a practical means of transportation that landlords with a little money can buy, and the rapid depreciation made the initiators of the Pingyang Hou Mansion also shouted incomprehensible, and the carpenters and merchants of various counties and counties played a huge role in the popularization of the four-** carriage.

Fourth, the technical content of the carriage is not high. The only subtle designs are the damping system and the steering traction head, two things that cannot be imagined without the real thing, but only by allowing experienced carpenters to see the real thing. In less than a month, the same manufacturing process can be fully figured out, so all kinds of imitation four-** carriages are popular, and the price is reduced again and again to the point of worthlessness.

The imitation is not as good as the workmanship of Shaofu, the shape is beautiful, but the stupid black coarse shape is more durable, the price is only less than half of the four ** carriages sold in Shaofu, so that the people can afford the price is the main reason for the popularization, as long as a family of five with a little savings gritted their teeth and bought a four-** carriage. Those who have money buy a few horses to pull animals, and those who don't have money can use a few cows or a few donkeys to make up for pulling animals.

Behind the county soldiers was an inconspicuous black four-wheeled carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the head of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. The boy swooped out of the carriage and sat down grinning.

The middle-aged man turned his head and scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy is wearing so thin clothes and you are not afraid of freezing, hurry up and go back and stay well, and you will be home after walking more than ten miles and passing Bashui." ”

"Uncle Wang. What do you think this thing is? The boy pulled a bottle out of his bosom and handed it over.

The middle-aged man opened the bottle and smelled the smell of wine in the room. Surprised: "It's wine?" Where did you get that? ”

"Senior Brother Tan stole it from there, drink some wine to warm up in cold weather." The young man has a tiger head and a strong body like a calf, and his honest appearance looks pleasing to people.

The middle-aged man scolded with a smile: "You kid, Tan Qing is a good person, you shouldn't steal his wine." ”

The young man snorted: "What's the good, Ding Gong handed me over to him to learn swordsmanship, but I already knew how many swordsmanship he used when I was five years old, and I talked to him a few times and reprimanded me with a straight face for being so ambitious." In addition to letting me carry water and chop firewood to do chores, it is to practice the foundation with a shelf. It's really disgusting to death. ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Tan Qing's arrangement is for your sake, in our industry, you must have an iron body and bones in order to use powerful murderous swordsmanship, you have made swordsmanship amazing at a young age, and there are not too many small skills to teach you, only the basic skills can be strengthened one or two, haven't you noticed that the degree of swordsmanship and stability have improved a lot recently?" This is the reason for chopping wood with a heavy iron sword. ”

"Eh, don't talk about such boring topics, let's almost arrive at the Pingyang Hou Mansion, Uncle Wang tell me what kind of person Pingyang Hou is?"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and his eyes were complicated: "The last time I went back to the Hou Mansion, the Jun Hou was only ten years old, and six years have passed, and I don't know what he looks like now." ”

After crossing the Baqiao, you will enter the suburbs of Chang'an.

The following convoy had already dispersed, and the troops escorting it to Lingyi headed straight for Weiqiao, north of Chang'an, and from there crossed the river to the location of Yangling.

The black four-wheeled carriage got off the road and came to the front of the Pingyang Hou Mansion on the south bank of the Wei River.

"Huainan Hero Wang Meng!"

"Sun Qi, the swordsman of the Chu State!"

After saying goodbye to their best friends who had not seen each other for many years, the two strong men laughed and embraced, feeling that more than ten years had passed unconsciously.

Sun Qi patted him on the shoulder, hooked his shoulders and put his back on his back, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, entered the gate of the Hou Mansion and introduced to the people who came to him: "This is Wang Meng, one of the four major doctors of the Hou Mansion, and I and Zhao Meng killed a lot of rebels of Wu under the old monarch and Hou tent, this is Yuan Chong, the writer of the Hou Mansion. ”

Wang Meng was stunned: "Four major doctors? Is there another master in the Hou Mansion? ”

Sun Qi smiled and said: "Yes, there are more great marksmen who are not Huns, but he is not in the Hou Mansion now, just like when you went out like you did in the beginning." ”

Wang Meng nodded, knowing that the secrets of the Hou Mansion had always been known best only to the Hou Hou, just like the secret mission he carried out, only the former Hou Cao Qi and the current Jun Hou Cao Shi knew, and his good brothers Sun Qi and Zhao Meng did not know the specific situation.

The young man who was shrinking behind Wang Meng suddenly shouted: "I know this person, he is Yuan An's nephew!" I've heard that he has a lot of clever plans to help Yuan Ang save the day. ”

Yuan Chong's face darkened, and others talked about Yuan Ang as soon as he mentioned his name, although his uncle Yuan Ang's reputation is indeed very great, but he is a person with self-esteem, self-confidence and high intelligence, not an incompetent person who eats and drinks with foxes, fake tigers, and tigers, Yuan Chong does not want to become an accessory to other people's reputation, even if it is his own uncle Yuan An.

Sun Qiqi said: "Could this kid be your son?" Wrong. I remember that your kid is at most ten years old this year, his nephew of yours? ”

"This is my nephew's drama letter, and his deceased father and I are close friends. It just so happens that you also know his father, who is Luoyang Drama Meng. As soon as Wang Meng said, Sun Qi's face immediately changed and he was in awe.

When he was young, he followed the Zhu family, the master of the early Han Dynasty, and after becoming famous, he was generous and loyal, and tried his best to help the Taishou Lieutenant of Henan County. He tried his best to help the poor people around Luoyang, and there were many friends in the six countries of Kanto, and businessmen and travelers from the south and north of Zhou liked to visit him.

What's even more rare is that there is no shelf in the drama. Treat the talented and virtuous people with courtesy, many people are poor and can't even eat, and Ju Meng is also willing to provide two meals a day for them to ask for a livelihood, everyone knows to go to Ruoyang City to find Ju Meng. is similar to Meng Weijun's atmospheric personality. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have an official title, he was just an ordinary Baiding household, I was afraid that the court would wonder if he was buying people's hearts with bad intentions.

is famous, and the ability of the drama Meng is also very strong, serving the hero Zhu family as a father, and getting the swordsmanship skills from the hands of the Zhu family, twenty years ago, the young drama Meng beat the young generation of the six countries. Only the older generation can suppress his limelight, and he served under Zhou Yafu in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu. It took a lot of effort to put down the rebellion.

Afterwards, because Zhou Yafu was not rewarded, Ju Meng did not get the military merit he deserved, but Ju Meng's reputation has become bigger and bigger.

A few years ago, Ju Meng's mother unfortunately passed away, and there were more than 1,000 funeral cars outside Luoyang City, almost inviting all the powerful landlords in the six countries of the Kwantung region.

Sun Qi and Yuan Chong said with concern: "Drama Meng is dead? When did you die? ”

"My father died five years ago."

"It's a pity to die young!"

Sun Qi patted the young man on the shoulder lovingly: "Little guy, this is your new home here, and if there is anything in the future, you will go directly to your Uncle Sun." ”

Entered the Hou Mansion, routinely visited the spiritual seat of the former Pingyang Hou Cao Qi, and went out of the ancestral hall to meet Cao in the main hall of the mansion.

Cao Shi was in a very good mood, and the three doctors handed over to him by his father summoned Meng to be active in Yanmen all the year round, in order to prepare for the future fight against the Xiongnu, Sun Qi guarded his life in the Hou Mansion, and Wang Meng was sent to Huainan's hometown to monitor the movements of the Chu people.

On the surface, among the four generations of Pingyang Hou, Cao Shen and Cao Shi are the strongest, and Cao Shen's strength does not need to be repeated to the world, Cao Shi's reputation at the moment is greater than that of Prime Minister Wei Juan, but the role of the middle two generations of Pingyang Hou cannot be underestimated.

Cao Wei was kicked out of Chang'an by Emperor Wen of Han in the palace political struggle, and stayed in the Pingyang Marquis for a full eighteen years, which was the door doctor system he single-handedly established, and used the elite of the hundred battles left by Cao Shen to cultivate batches of bloody and combat-effective families, including Wei Ping, the deceased father of several brothers and sisters of the Wei family, who was also a good seedling that Cao Yi found in the Pingyang Marquis State.

At that time, the military and political power of the Hou State was grasped by the liehous, and the internal and external financial and taxation rights and conscription of the Hou Guohou Mansion were all held in the hands of the liehous, which was similar to the feudal privileges of the Qing clan in the Spring and Autumn Period.

By the time Cao Qi arrived, the influence of the Marquis of Pingyang in the court was almost none, Cao Qi already had an elite army in his hands to let him drive, the first two terms of Zhao Meng and Meng had been stationed in the two places for a long time, and Sun Qi had five men in front of him to protect the safety of the Hou Mansion, until Cao Qi gathered the three young people to his side before his death, and arranged for the important task of protecting Cao Shi to guard the Hou Mansion.

"Doctor Men came from the south, and it was very hard to travel and travel, and it was easy to live at home, and Doctor Men's family had already sent someone to Hou Guoli to invite him, or he would arrive in a few days."

"Thank you for your grace!"

Cao Shi was overjoyed: "Uncle Wang, don't be so outside, I still remember that I used to call you Uncle Wang." ”

Wang Meng's excited blood went up, and he suddenly realized something and forced himself to calm down: "The status of the prince is noble, and I really can't afford to be called this title in the next place." ”

After many years, returning to the Hou Mansion has long been a matter of fact, and the little prince of the year has grown into a dignified man of more than seven feet, Wang Meng's mood is very complicated.

Cao Shi thought that he hadn't seen him for many years, and he hadn't adapted to the unfamiliar environment of the Xinhou Mansion, so he said with a smile: "Forget it, don't talk about this." You go down and rest for a while, and we'll talk tomorrow. ”

The house arranged a new accommodation for them, spacious and bright rooms, high windows and wide beds, and neat wooden furniture were impeccable.

The letters are divided into a separate room. The room has its own toilet and bathroom, he was surprised that there was a strange stool in the bathroom, sat on the stool for a long time, and asked stupidly: "Why don't I have a toilet that I defecate, but a strange stool?" ”

The maidservants giggled and said, "Xiao Langjun is sitting on the toilet that is drowning!" ”

"Ahh Why didn't you say it earlier! The drama letter jumped up like a burning buttocks, covering his buttocks and touching his pants back and forth, for fear that they would be dirty.

The maidservants thought it was funny. Kanto people don't understand the new fashion of Chang'an, and the flush toilet is a good thing, and the simple structure only needs to twist the drain valve and it will automatically flush. The feces are buried in the pipes below and go straight to the waste water pond outside the house, and the feces that have been rotted at high temperatures can be used as fertilizer for farms.

Under the explanation of the maidservant, it was clear that a small cistern was installed on each roof, and the water was received from a bamboo row tube connected to a nearby waterwheel. Every morning and evening, the valve is opened to store water. Until the water in the bucket overflows and then closes, this water is the domestic water supplied by the flush toilet.

The drama letter is very fresh, open the toilet lid and see a toilet, the water valve is twisted, and the water gushes out from the four holes, and the water supply is stopped immediately when the water valve is closed, and I am very happy to play with it for a while.

Wang Meng sat and chatted with Sun Qi, and the two chatted about the situation in the past few years, and the three brothers were very young. Under the account of the former Pingyang Marquis, he was a great hero, and he was praised by Zhou Yafu as a young hero of the tiger and wolf. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and things are not people, and their temples are white.

Wang Meng said with emotion: "I haven't seen it for a few years, Chang'an has changed a lot, and I only glanced at the suburbs a few times, and I still wonder if I have seen it wrong." ”

Sun raised his eyebrows and said: "This is the handiwork of our little prince, who would dare to believe that a huge new Chang'an City can be built in half a year?" The little prince did it, and it was very beautiful, and he was praised by the first emperor and benefited from the three thousand households, and gave two thousand catties of gold, and all the rewards owed by the first prince and marquis were made up! When I first heard the news, the Hou Mansion was happy and stupid, and when it was transmitted back to the Hou Kingdom, Uncle Chen also personally presided over the ceremony of sacrificing the ancestors and paying tribute to the ancestors of my Pingyang Hou Mansion. ”

"I know, I know all this, I also know that the prince is listed as Jiuqing in charge of the Shaofu Great Seal, when the first prince wandered outside Chang'an City for a whole year and was not allowed to be reused by the first emperor, and finally went home with a negative anger and died of illness, the young prince and the marquis made up for this qiē and fulfilled the last wish of the first prince and the marquis before he died!"

As he spoke, the nearly forty-year-old middle-aged man burst into tears.

Cao Qi died too unjustly, forty-two years old is in the prime of life, can hold an iron halberd and gallop to kill Wu generals, strong body and arms are amazing, is known as not inferior to his ancestor Cao Shen of the fierce general, you must know that Cao Shen is a bloody battle suffered more than 70 wounds, many times as the first soldier rushed in front of the battle of a hundred famous generals, the elite under his command is not afraid of the strong Qin Ruishi, but also never afraid of the god of war like the god of war Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Sixty years ago, the legendary Chu-Han War created a great era of bright stars, the descendants of those famous generals do not want to revive the glory of their ancestors all the time, Cao Qi is a close minister of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty is not allowed to display his talents, and Cao Qi's generation must display his talents and abilities after all, and the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu is the peak moment of his life.

In that war, the princes were red-eyed, rushed into the Wu army's position and fought dozens of battles, and even took the initiative to go to the frontal battlefield of Liang State to defeat the Wu Chu rebels in order to seek to destroy the enemy.

Cao Qi is the most outstanding among the meritorious princes, he is much braver than the Marquis of Yingyin, the Marquis of Ruyin, Xiahou Ci and others, and the fierce generals under his command sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, and when the Wuchu rebels collapsed, the Marquis of Pingyang's family had been wiped out by nearly half, and the battle damage was close to 50%!

Such a terrible loss, almost all the survivors were injured and hung up one by one, but for the hard-won military exploits, for the reward of the Son of Heaven, Cao Qi took the remnants of the army to Qi day and night, where he followed Luan Bu to defeat the resistance of the Qi army, besieged Linzi City and forced the Qi King Liu General Lu to death, and then killed Zhao State Handan in the starry night, participated in the flooded Handan battle commanded by Liji and Luan Bu, and forced Zhao King Liu Sui to commit suicide.

This series of military exploits is not enough to be compared with Zhou Yafu, and it is slightly inferior to Luan Bu and Liji, who personally led the troops to fight, but if it is placed in the early Han Dynasty, Cao Qi's cousin Xiàn will at least seal 2,000 liehous. If he was allowed to personally lead the Han army to defeat the Wu Chu rebels, he would be able to obtain at least 3,000 households.

But when it came time to reward meritorious deeds, the heroes who were happy were all dumbfounded.

No reward for merit!

Not rewarded!

The teeth of how many liehou hated were about to be crushed, and the Son of Heaven waved his sleeves. Not rewarded!

The ministers went to the soup for the king, killed themselves for the king, guarded the frontier for the king, and pacified the rebels of the six countries, and in the end all they got was no reward!

The blood of the heroes was dried up, and their hearts were cold.

The Son of Heaven was still dissatisfied, and the Son of Heaven wanted to let the meritorious princes die. Push to death!

Taking advantage of the fact that the rebellion of the princes and kings was destroyed, he seized the power of recruiting and commanding troops of the princes and kings, and deprived the princes and kings of the privilege of appointing officials of all sizes in the country. Deprived the princes and kings of the economic right to enjoy the country's finances and taxes.

The princes and kings were at fault, and the deprivation of the Son of Heaven was at the back, and no one would have raised any opinions.

Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven added a sentence lightly. The same is true for the lieges. Completely deprived of the three privileges.

Since then, the princes have been reduced to waste, their blood has dried up, their hearts have become cold, and they have to be taken out by the Son of Heaven to be whipped and bullied.

In this context, Cao Qi was empty-handed and desperate, wandering lonely inside and outside Chang'an City, he didn't know how to explain to the dead, he didn't know how to explain to his subordinates who were full of joy!

Reward? How to reward!

If the Son of Heaven does not reward me, how can I reward the ministers?

That year. The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu had just ended, from the beginning of autumn to August of the following year. Cao Qi wandered in Beijing for a whole year.

I only want to get an official position of 2,000 stones, so that I can explain to the retainers and subordinates who fought bloodily.

However, the Son of Heaven refuses to be rewarded, but the Son of Heaven does not want to use it, but what a problem!

Cao Qi's confidence completely collapsed, his hopes, ideals, aspirations, and oaths were all deceitful, and the beliefs and ideals that he had held for decades collapsed.

dragged his tired pace back to the Marquis of Pingyang, and he couldn't afford to be sick.

Before he died, Cao Qi took out part of the savings of the Hou Mansion to reward his retainers, and arranged for the courtiers to assist his sister-in-law Cao Shi, who still read that sentence when he was dying.

I sacrifice my life and forget death to serve you, what should you do to me?

Wang Meng still remembered that the three of them were crying in front of Cao Qi's gradually cold corpse!

At that time, a poisonous oath was made, and the descendants of the three will continue until thousands of generations, and they will serve the Cao family to the death, and if the descendants violate the oath, the sky will be destroyed! From them all their children and grandchildren will be destroyed!

Bloodied, wept tears, and they never wanted to mention the Son of Heaven again, because they were afraid that they would not be able to hold back their hatred and curse the emperor who was mean and unkind.

Wang Meng was crying, crying bitterly, crying with such sadness and pain, not only crying but also roaring.

The angry roar shocked the people in the house, and the maids left the room understandingly, and did not forget to close the door tightly before leaving, after all, they did not return to the Hou Mansion after many years, and it was understandable that they were excited and cried.

Crying can be so desperate? Why roar? They don't want to know and they don't want to be told.

The maidservants know that they must not talk when they encounter strange things, after all, curiosity kills cats, let alone curious people.

Sun Qi was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "What are you crying on the day of great joy?" Didn't we get through those hard days together? You see that our little monarch is long heroic and majestic, like the majestic first monarch and marquis back then, that year I still remember that the first monarch and marquis held the big sword, we followed the banner and rushed to the Wu Chu rebels, without hesitation and no regrets......"

"Brother Xian, I have something to say in my heart, I want to ask you."

Sun Qi said awe-inspiringly: "Brother, please say, my brother must know everything and say everything." ”

"Do you remember the poisonous oath we made? Do you remember what we said? Have you forgotten all that hatred? Have all the sufferings and humiliations we have experienced disappeared with the wind? Is the first prince and marquis dead? Have you forgotten all those shames and hatreds that cannot be erased forever! Answer me! Wang Meng's eyes widened with rage, and he let out a terrifying roar.

Words are like sharp blades, and sentences are like thunder.

What is a heart-wrenching word? This is the words of the heart!

That word and sentence were like a sword that punished the heart, piercing the smile on Sun Qi's face, poking into the flesh and bones and chopping the belt tendons, poking into the internal organs and twisting the organs, and like an iron rope strangling his neck and suffocating people.

Sun Qi clutched his chest with his hands, and the blood on his face instantly faded: "I never forgot jì!" How could I forget jì! The memory of that day is unforgettable, and I will never forget it! No, yes, forget! ”

The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred is endless! (To be continued!)
