Chapter 18: Entering Beijing (Asking for Recommendations)

If it weren't for the muddy river under the boat, Cao Shi would mistakenly think that he was in the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away, this river was called the big river at this time, or directly called the river, and it was officially named the Yellow River two hundred years later.

This is already the second morning of the trip, yesterday the long fleet of boats along the Fen River all the way to the southwest, through Linfen, Changxiu, Pishi and other counties to the Yellow River ferry in Fenyin, all the way to the important checkpoint of the trip, to the west to the Wei River boat Sikong.

Cao Shi is not used to boating, he didn't rest well all night, the day will be bright and get up on the deck to face the morning breeze to exercise, the fleet lined up in a long serpentine shape, to the afternoon the first fleet came to the news that has come to the ship, according to the rules, the Hou Mansion must send someone to the ship to check the pass before you can pass.

There are people in the princess's mansion who can save money in the formalities, and the bureaucrats of the ship are also very conscious of opening the water gate to let the whole fleet pass guò, these bureaucrats belong to the same system as the Guan Duwei who guards the Hangu Pass, and they usually have no pressure on ordinary civilian ships and even official ships, but they really can't afford to provoke the combination of liehous and princesses.

It took several hours for the fleet to enter the relatively narrow Wei River from the spacious river, and at this time a servant reported a news that the ships coming and going in the Wei River channel of an average of three or four hundred meters were very dense, and at this time the fleet was about to begin to descend one by one, and the old man of Hedong County asked to take a boat to Jingshi.

"The old man of Hedong County? Did you report the name? ”

"Tell the prince that the prince claims to be a young man and has a relationship with the prince at the banquet."

Cao Shi suddenly remembered this person, the title is the fifteenth rank of the twentieth rank of military merit, this title is very expensive in the Qin Empire, and it is not so dazzling in the Han Empire, where the princes, princes, and Guannei marquis are gathered, he is just surprised that there are such high lords among the people.

It didn't take long for the fleet to turn around the turbulent river bay and continue to move forward, and the servant led a man in deep clothes over, and the man immediately saluted: "Jiangyi Zhou Fu to see the prince, it is my blessing to see you again after many days, since I tasted the wine and food in the Hou Mansion, and then ate the food made by the ordinary wok kettle is as tasteless as chewing wax, the cooking skills on the Jun Hou Mansion are really unique in the world!" ”

Zhou Fu's appearance is dressed up to listen to the spirit, looks like a young man in his early thirties, from his appearance details can still see that his living environment is very superior, this person's biggest characteristic is that he is very good at talking, from sitting down to start talking, occasionally witty words make him have to pay attention.

Along the way, he talked about the customs and interesting stories of various countries for half an hour, and took the opportunity of him to drink water to moisten his throat, Cao Shi interjected: "Zhou Jun is a person from Jiangyi, and his surname is Zhou, but what is the kinship with the Jianghou family?" ”

"The Marquis of Jiangwu is the eldest father (grandfather) of the next, and the first father is the late Marquis Zhou Shengzhi." Zhou Fu began to weep as soon as he mentioned his unjustly killed father, telling the story of his father's unjust death one by one, listening to him tell that it was really a strange injustice in the world, and Emperor Wen of Han intended to target the heroes of the Jianghou family.

Zhou Bo is the founder of the Han Empire, the status of this family is extraordinary, when the founding of the country, Emperor Gao personally discharged the ranks, Zhou Bo ranked fourth in the list of heroes, sealed in Jiangyi, dozens of miles away from the south of the Pingyang Marquis, there were enough 8,100 households in the feudal country at that time, Emperor Gao died through the puppet period of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, to the era of the Emperor Lu called the system was Zhu Lu called the king and hegemon, on the contrary, the heroes and princes were suppressed very badly.

Until the death of Empress Lu, the princes ushered in a chance to turn over, this is the famous annihilation of Zhulu incident, the princes and kings of the Guandong and the princes of Guanzhong jointly started, and the Zhulu group was wiped out and killed, and then the princes and kings competed for the right to speak.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to die well, Chen Ping's luck is relatively good, and he died of illness a year later, and Zhou Bo was criticized by Emperor Wen of Han in every way as the biggest siege city to destroy Zhulu.

But because of his reluctance, Emperor Wen of Han was unwilling to spare him, and was ready to crush the great hero Zhou Bo to death, and the frightened Zhou Bo wore armor and a sword every day to resist with armed soldiers, but he still couldn't escape being humiliated by the prison officials, and finally relied on bribing the prison officials to find a way to tell the Empress Dowager Bo that he spared his life.

After this incident, the political career of the Marquis of Jianghou family ended, but this is only a beginning for the Marquis of Jiang's mansion, when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne at the beginning of the reign in order to win the hearts of the people, he married the daughter of the concubine to Zhou Bo's eldest son Zhou Shengzhi, and then turned his face and ruthlessly abolished Zhou Bodao zhì Jianghou has since withdrawn from the officialdom of Beijing, and the woman who gave the name Princess Jiangyi gradually did not take Zhou Shengzhi in his eyes.

Zhou Bo died of illness and the status of the Marquis of Jiang's Mansion declined unprecedentedly, and only Zhou Yafu, who was released to the eastern part of the country, served as the county guard of 2,000 stones, and the new Marquis Zhou Shengzhi naturally did not have a good temper in the face of his wife's difficulties, and the relationship between the husband and wife became worse and worse, and gradually separated.

But the world is unpredictable, this princess of Jiangyi felt that Zhou Shengzhi couldn't control him, so she simply raised noodles in her own mansion**, Princess Jiangyi and one of them ** have a very good relationship, even if they go out, they often take them with them and often behave like lovers, and gradually the bad news spread to Zhou Shengzhi, and the angry Jianghou and Princess Jiangyi quarreled and quarreled.

Of course, that man was the punching bag of his brunt, and he was beaten by Zhou Shengzhi with a blue nose and swollen face and almost broke his appearance, and that person also hated Zhou Shengzhi, so the man used the means of demagogy to shake his lips and puff up his tongue after recovering from his injuries, and said that Princess Jiangyi would bring Zhou Shengzhi a bigger and more ugly hat.

Afterwards, the man also ran to the Jianghou Mansion to provoke Zhou Shengzhi, and proudly showed the seeds of his hard work "cultivation", Zhou Shengzhi was furious when he learned the news, and pulled out his long sword to kill the person on the spot.

After that, things became very interesting, Emperor Wen of Han wanted to cover up the ugliness of the family and not publicize it, his daughter and ** messed around and was pregnant with a bad seed, although this evil seed was over-miscarried because of the princess's fright, but after all, it was a really shocking scandal, especially when this hat was put on the head of Zhou Boyan's eldest son, it was easy for people in the world to guess that the Son of Heaven had any unsightly ideas to deal with the Jianghou family.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven decided to execute Zhou Shengzhi in strict accordance with the criminal law, no matter how much the officials and princes begged for forgiveness, and sealed all the truth of the case.

The princes angrily found the Son of Heaven to ask for an explanation, the Son of Heaven retreated on the spot 625 blocks cleanly, the Son of Heaven said the law and how could the princes compare, and finally the discussion evolved into another situation, the Son of Heaven consciously treated the Marquis of Jiang is a little unkind, so he ordered Zhou Bo's concubine Zhou Yafu to inherit the title of Marquis Jiang.

It's just that this title changed its name to Tiaohou to show the difference, and at the same time took away the 10,000 households that were originally sealed by the Marquis of Jiang, leaving only the territory on the basis of 8,100 fiefs at the time of the founding of the country, and there were more than 14,000 households when Zhou Yafu succeeded him.

Zhou Fu wiped away his tears and saluted apologetically: "At the beginning, the princes publicly recommended him as the heir of the marquis, but the Son of Heaven took away the inheritance right under him and gave it to Ji's father Zhou Yafu on the grounds that he was not from his son-in-law. ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" Cao Chang sighed and didn't say too much, Cao Shi's great-grandfather Cao Shen ranked second on the list of meritorious heroes, and was the first meritorious hero promoted by everyone back then, and he was not forcibly pressed by Emperor Gao to the second, and promoted Xiao He to the first place of the meritorious marquis.

The Pingyang Hou family and the Jianghou family are only a few dozen miles apart, and the two families have also come and gone very frequently after the sealing of the Hou. At that time, he was the imperial doctor, and it was he who leaked the news that the Lu family held a secret meeting to prepare for the action, so there was the incident of Prime Minister Chen Ping and Taiwei Zhou Bo leading people to deceive the tiger talisman to destroy Zhu Lu.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne of the great feudal hero, added 10,000 households of Taiwei Zhou Bo Shiyi, gave 5,000 catties of gold, added the title of Prime Minister Chen Ping, and the general poured 3,000 households into the infant food eup, gave 2,000 catties of gold, and added 2,000 households of Liu Zhang, Marquis of Xiangping, and Liu Xingju, Marquis of Dongmu, and gave 1,000 catties of gold.

Pingyang Hou Cao? didn't even catch the hair, or a little bit of consolation, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was very generous to seal all the princes with 300 households each, and then find a reason to put Cao? A few years later, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty suddenly turned his face with the princes, and issued two consecutive orders to the "Kingdom of the Princes" to include Cao? and all the unemployed princes rushed back to the fiefdom, thus opening the dark age of the princes.

The farther westward the farther the fleet became, the slower it became, and the journey was one hundred and fifty miles for three days, during which many unheard of wonders were told about the past and the present, such as Emperor Tang Yao's mediocrity in his later years, he was imprisoned by Yu Shun first and then put to Pingyang, and exiled Tang Yao's most talented heir, Zizhu, to Dancai Danzhu and so on.

On the third day, he came to the ferry outside Chang'an City, and after getting off the ferry, Cao Shi and Zhou Fu agreed to meet on the date, and the team headed towards Princess Yangxin's mansion, where there was a brand new family waiting for him, and a wife who had never seen before, thinking of the legendary story of Princess Pingyang, Cao Shi's heart was full of expectations.

ps: The so-called dirty Tang stinky man is not groundless, if you don't believe it, you can spend your mother "Yincheng Princess" or "Ban Shi" to understand.
