If it weren't for the fact that I saw this "embroidered messenger" on the computer, I would have almost forgotten about it, when I met my ancestor Huang Zongman in a dream on the small island at the mouth of the Jingjiang River, he wrote six words on the ground with cinnabar - directly pointing to the embroidered messenger, originally, I was going to check what kind of messenger this was after I came back, but then I was delayed by Xiang Wei and Chen Fangyuan, Qiu Yan and I have been busy with these things every day these days, and I have long left this matter behind.

When I saw these four words appear on the computer screen, I immediately recalled the scene in my mind, I remember that I first followed Huang Zongman into the cellar in my dream, and then sank into the ground for no reason, I saw a dried corpse in the ground, and then I appeared in Huang Zongman's basement, and it was on the floor of this basement that Huang Zongman wrote those six words.

At that time, I thought that this messenger might be the identity of the person buried underground, and now it seems that this person may be Jiang Chong.

But who is this Jiang Chong? Why was he buried on that island? What is his relationship to my ancestors? What is his relationship with this Yangling hero?

At this time, I saw that Qiu Yan didn't seem to be very interested in this Jiang Chong, and she moved the mouse to close Jiang Chong's page.

"Wait!" I hurried to stop it, and then snatched her mouse.

"What's wrong? Do you know this Jiang Chong? Qiu Yan asked suspiciously.

I motioned for Qiu Yan to get up, and then sat me down in front of the computer.

"Let's see who he is!"

After saying that, I didn't bother to care if they heard it or not, so I looked through the computer by myself.

"Jiang Chong, whose real name is Jiang Qi, is proficient in medical skills, his sister is good at singing, dancing, drumming, and piano, and is married to Liu Dan, the prince of Zhao State. Jiang Qi became the guest of Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao Jingsu. The crown prince Liu Dan sent people to chase and kill Jiang Qi, Jiang Qi fled into Chang'an, changed his name to Jiang Chong, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty summoned Jiang Chong in the Shanglin Yuan Dog Tai Palace.

He once sent an envoy to the Huns, and the official was the captain of Shui Heng. Jiang Chong wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che to accuse Liu Dan of adultery with his sister and harem, and Liu Che immediately arrested Liu Dan and sent him to prison. Emperor Wu fell ill in his later years, and Jiang Chong instructed Hu Wutan He to deceive Emperor Wu and said: "There is a lot of Gu Qi in the palace, if you don't get rid of it, the disease will not be bad (the illness will not be cured)." Emperor Wu believed it and sent Jiang Chong to set up a special team to strictly investigate.

Jiang Chong had a feud with the prince Liu, so he framed the prince, Jiang Chong dug Gu in the palace and dug out the puppet made of paulownia wood. Liu was frightened and sent troops to kill Jiang Chong. Jiang Chong's henchmen fled to Ganquan Palace to report to the emperor that the crown prince had rebelled.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Prime Minister Liu Quyu to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, and the two armies fought in Chang'an for five days, with tens of thousands of dead. In the end, the prince was defeated and fled, and committed suicide by hanging himself in Quanjiu, in Huxian County, east of Chang'an (now southwest of Ruxiang County, northwest of Lingbao City, Henan). Empress Wei Zifu also committed suicide. It is known as the "Scourge of Witchcraft".

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that the crown prince Liu had no objection, destroyed the three clans of Jiangchong, executed Su Wen, and built a "Si Womb" in Hu County. ”

This is a summary of Jiang Chong and the scourge of witches on the Internet, and there are a few entries below the summary, introducing some of Jiang Chong's life.

I read these entries one by one, and found that this Jiang Chong is a typical villain who will fly high and domineering after gaining power.

This person relied on her sister to marry into a wealthy family, began to contact the upper class, and then rose step by step by relying on clever words and flattery, and finally he became a celebrity around Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, and for a while the power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

After Jiang Chong gained power, he began to fly high, and he didn't even pay attention to the princess, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very old at this time, he believed Jiang Chong's slander, and finally led to the tragic death of the queen and the prince one by one.

To put it bluntly, this Jiang Chong is a villain who is extremely flattering and vicious.

However, it was also said on the Internet that Jiang Chong was tall and magnificent, so he was appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

I looked at it for a while and found that there was no direct connection between Jiang Chong and Zhu Anshi, and the Internet just hastily used the sentence "It may be that Jiang Chong instigated Zhu Anshi to frame Gongsun He" to link the two together, and only then did "the disaster of witchcraft began with Zhu Anshi and ended in Jiang Chong".

And I didn't find any connection between this so-called witch Gu disaster and witch Gu, the reason why this historical event is called the witch Gu disaster is just that Jiang Chong mentioned that someone wanted to use witch Gu to harm Emperor Wu of Han when he gave a message to Emperor Wu of Han.

I think that this matter is probably the same as Chen Youliang before, the history recorded on the Internet is recorded by the historian, and the historian is ordered by the imperial court, and the imperial court will write whatever he wants him to write, and the real history is probably more than that.

I sat in my chair and thought about it, then typed the words "embroidered messenger" into the search bar, and the entry for embroidered messenger immediately appeared on the Internet.

The web reads:

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a secret police force in China, dressed in embroidered clothes and armed with scepters and tiger talismans, who patrolled the inspectors and acted on behalf of the Son of Heaven when they found illegal problems. For this kind of special power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave them the title of "Embroidered Messenger", also known as "Embroidered Imperial History", "Embroidered Clothes Zhizhi", "Embroidered Clothes Law Enforcement", "Zhizhi Embroidered Clothes", "Zhizhi Embroidered Messengers", etc., sometimes referred to as "Zhizhi".

According to research, the "embroidered messenger" first appeared in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, in 115 BC. At that time, "the five baht money starts from platinum, and the people are traitors, especially in Beijing,...... The so-called "direct finger to the beginning" is the symbol of the birth of the "embroidered messenger". As a kind of imperial history, the official position of the "embroidered messenger" is very low, and they are not permanent officials, but these people are specially selected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and specially designed to handle special projects, they directly obey the emperor's orders, and are directly responsible to the emperor.

......

I read the entry carefully, and judging from the records on the Internet, the so-called "embroidered messenger" is ordered to be responsible for supervising officials, relatives and nobles, extravagance, and illegal things. They are haunting, ubiquitous, and once very active, even "Weizhenzhou County", which frightened many unscrupulous officials. Later, as the situation changed, the "embroidered messengers" had the duty of "catching thieves", that is, suppressing the peasant uprising. And the one who did the embroidered messenger to the extreme was the red man beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - Jiang Chong.

This is very similar to the "Dongchang" and "Ouchi Jinyiwei" in film and television dramas, and this position appeared in BC, I even suspect that the characters in those film and television dramas are based on this direct embroidery messenger.

After reading it, I was even more curious, according to the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a thousand years of separation between my ancestor Huang Zongman, why did the corpse of Jiang Chong, the embroidered messenger of a thousand years ago, appear in the basement of my ancestor Huang Zongman after a thousand years?

"Zimu, what's wrong with this Jiang Chong? Do you know something? Qiu Yan asked cautiously at this time, pulling me back from my thoughts.

I looked back, and all three of them were looking at me in amazement, as if there was something strange on my face.

Seeing Long Quan standing beside me, I swallowed back the idea I originally wanted to tell Qiu Yan, how to say that this embroidered messenger also linked the soul killer with our Huang family, I don't want to let Long Quan preempt the whole thing before I figure out the whole thing.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that I'm a little curious about the word embroidery messenger, so I want to see it."

After listening to this, Qiu Yan leaned over to the computer and glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, it's quite strange, embroidered clothes, messenger, hehe, embroidered messenger, what kind of messenger is this!" ”

I swiped my mouse and flipped out the passage about the embroidery messenger.

"Don't underestimate this embroidered messenger, they are secret police, it is written on it, the embroidered messenger is a position that Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty came up with, and they specialize in some monitoring and punishment things, just like Dongchang."

As soon as I finished speaking, Huang Yueling, who was standing on the side, suddenly shouted: "I seem to have watched a movie, what kind of knife is embroidered, is it the embroidered messenger I am talking about?" ”

I have seen the movie that Huang Yueling talked about, and if I think about it carefully, the characters in it seem to be very similar to the introduction of the embroidered messenger.

"Well, it's pretty much the same."

After that, we talked about two more idle sentences, talking about some interesting things related to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, during which Long Quan didn't say a word, and I found that he peeked at me from time to time.

Unconsciously, at noon, it was rare for the four of us young people to sit together and chat like this, and we were a little reluctant to leave for a while, so we ordered some takeout, and then continued to chat.

Qiu Yan lay on the sofa with her hands behind her head, looked at the ceiling and asked, "It's really strange, how could such a sword more than a thousand years ago be inserted at the bottom of Poyang Lake?" How did Chen Youliang get this sword? ”

Qiu Yan brought the topic back to the ancient sword, and I was also curious when I listened.

Chen Fangyuan said that this sword has the effect of suppressing evil spirits, but from my point of view, this is a bronze sword that is too old to be old, except for the serious rust, there is nothing special at all.

"Long Quan, you are Zhu Anshi and a soul killer, since his sword has the effect of suppressing evil spirits, is there anything strange about your sword?" I asked at Longquan.

The dragon didn't hide it, he took the cedar stick and pulled out the short sword inside.

"When my grandfather gave it to me, he just told me to keep it, and he didn't say anything else, and I always took it with me, and I never found anything strange about it."

I took the short sword from Long Quan's hand and placed the two swords on the coffee table.

I have to say that these two swords are of different lengths, different appearances, and the lines on the body of the sword and the decoration on the hilt of the sword are not clear, at first glance, these are two unrelated swords at all.

However, after a closer look, you will find that the color and texture of the two swords are very similar, and they should be forged with the same materials and the same process.

Long Quan took the long sword at this time, and after playing with it in his hand for a while, he said with a smile: "Brother He, you can go to a blacksmith to get this sword around, and after getting the hilt again, this will be a very handsome sword!" ”

After Long Quan said this, I also became interested, this sword is the hilt part of the rust, in addition, this sword is jet black, sharp edges and corners, it looks like there is a rough atmosphere, if you change the hilt, a little modification, it is indeed a very good-looking sword.

"Where to find a blacksmith in this society now, besides, I can't be like you, take it with me every day, otherwise, others will think I'm crazy!" I shook my head helplessly and said.

"Hehe, Brother He, in fact, you don't need a real blacksmith, anyway, it's just a sword hilt, you just find a metalworking workshop and spend some money to let them do what you want." And you don't need to take it with you, since Chen Fangyuan's old boy said that you can suppress evil spirits, you can hang it in the house and use it at home! ”

After listening to Long Quan's words, I thought for a while, Long Quan was right, since the sword is in my hand, why don't I decorate it well, make a beautiful sword hilt, and then make a scabbard, no matter if it can suppress evil spirits, it can be hung in the house and pretended to be used!

"Hehe, okay, I'll find someone to do it another day." I laughed.
