Chapter 11 Liu An, King of Huainan
Saying that he had no worries to ask the master for five days off, and returned to Liufu, the family shouted and asked for warmth, and the boys and girls came to see him. His grandmother came again, and the woman's family couldn't help but shed lovesick tears again, and everyone who was infected for a while had red eyes.
His father Liu Haoyang said: "Huan'er returned home today, it was a happy thing, seeing you crying and crying, the Tao makes people sad, let's live quickly." The old lady said angrily: "We are crying and crying, since we are full of love and overflowing, where is like your ruthless father, you go out faster than me, save the old body to be angry, and I will not reward you with a few walnuts (bursting chestnuts) to eat." Liu Haoyang was originally a filial son, where did he dare to reply, so he had to say yes, went out, everyone who watched laughed, and drove the pain of longing over.
The ancestors of the Liu family are also official eunuchs, according to Wuchou's grandfather, he is a descendant of Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty, and the study at home has a huge collection of books.
The Liu family's study was crowded and very lively.
Besides, Madame said, whoever can help the young master find the book he wants, he will have a reward of ten taels of silver, even if he doesn't find it, as long as he participates, he will have thirty copper coins to take, such a good thing, it is difficult to find it with a lantern, where can I not do my best?
Sure enough, in less than half a morning, a maid in the kitchen sent him the annals of the Huainan King of the Western Han Dynasty that he wanted, and the girl happily went to receive her reward.
King Huainan of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu An, the grandson of Gaozu Liu Bang, the eldest son of Liu Chang, King of Huainan, later Liu Chang was exposed for rebellion, and died of hunger strike on the way to be distributed, after Liu Chang's death, Emperor Wen was sixteen years old, and Liu An was sixteen years old, and Emperor Wen named Liu An as the king of Huainan because of his thoughts and brotherhood.
He has been outstanding in learning since he was a child, has the ambition to stabilize the country and the country, and can love the virtuous and thirsty, and is a corporal of courtesy, so there are many guests, and he secretly accumulates strength to avenge his father. Among them, there are eight people who are the most talented, among the eight people, there is a swordsman named Lei was in a contest with Liu An's son Liu Qian, stabbed Liu Qian by mistake, Liu Qian held a grudge, and Lei was embarrassed from time to time, Lei was unable to resign, so he had to ask Liu An to resign, who knew that Liu An thought that he had a rebellious heart, and dismissed him, Lei was resentful and simply went to Chang'an to sue Liu An for rebellion, and at this time it was the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was busy cutting the domain, and it happened to give him a boat to push the boat down the river and seize the fief.
As the saying goes, "Blessing is incomparable, disaster is not a single line", Liu An has a grandson named Liu Jian, Liu Jian because his father is not Liu An's son, has not been favored by Liu An, so he went to the capital to complain, he wanted to frame his brother Liu Qian to rebel so that he could be favored, so as to inherit the throne of the king of Huainan, he did not expect his state to send his grandfather to the road to Huangquan.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Qin to send a search to Liu An's house, and found a rebellion weapon and a forged gold seal, so he judged that Liu An was a rebel.
Liu Anqi had a heart for the Tao in his early years, and often gathered with the people in the door to refine the elixir, thinking that one day he could become a pill, so as to be a god, in an alchemy, the Dan was not refined, but he was asked to make a kind of food in China - tofu.
Later generations said that Liu An was accused of rebellion, and he knew that his life would not be long in coming, so he swallowed the elixir and soared in the daytime, and the rest of the medicine was eaten by the chickens and dogs in his family and flew away.
Because he is the founder of Chinese tofu, later generations respect him as the originator of tofu.
This is the end of the deeds of Liu An, the king of Huainan, and there is only one sentence that mentions the word chicken, "One person attains the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven." However, for many years, the real cause and effect of Liu An's rebellion against the king of Huainan is unknown, although there are historical books as evidence, but when the historian writes the history book, most emperors will consider their own merits and demerits in the later generations, so there will always be some distortion of the real history when the historian records the history book, so the history book can only be used as a study, can not be fully trusted.
Judging from the history books, the year when Liu An, the king of Huainan, swallowed the elixir, it was the eighteenth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and that year happened to be the year when Ji Kang Zhenren returned to the mountain and then came out of the mountain, and then disappeared again.
It just so happened that Wude Zhenren once said that the chicken entered the sect in the era of Ji Kang Zhenren, so is the chicken in the sect the same chicken as the chicken in "One person attains the Tao, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven"?
After his own inference, he had already decided in his heart that it must be the same chicken, because the chicken had said that it and Ji Kang were friends of eight worships, one was called Ji Kang, and the other was called Ji Mingyu. However, there are still some doubts that have not yet been solved, such as the sentence that says "the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", now there are only chickens, but where are the dogs?
It seems that the remaining doubts cannot be found by themselves, and they must start from that chicken, and if that chicken is really the one at that time, counting from the era of Ji Kang Zhenren, it has been 1,400 years since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and a chicken that has lived for 1,400 years, how far does that chicken have to be treacherous?
The answer is in my heart, the chicken is now asking for itself, it wants to learn ancient characters from itself, and then it will coerce and lure itself, and I am afraid that it will not be obedient?
When Wuchou was trying to calculate the chicken, his mother walked in, followed by his grandfather, grandmother, he finally came home once, his mother had already sent someone to inform his mother's family, and the two of Xu's wifeless, who missed their grandson, immediately rushed to come non-stop.
When I heard that my grandson had entered the fairy gate, I asked where and what kind of way to cultivate?
Worry-free to answer one by one, Xu Laozhang heard him say that he cultivated the way of medicine, so he said: "Recently, I have a master of medicine in the Ming Dynasty, called Li Shizhen, who spent twenty-seven years writing the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and now you are also practicing medicine, so you should take him as a flaunt." ”
Wuchou nodded yes, and Mrs. Xu gave him another piece of beautiful jade, and said: "This is handed down from my mother's family, there is a pair, one is Jiaojiao, and this one is yours." ”
Mr. and Mrs. Xu only have one daughter under their knees, and they will go to bed at the end of their lives, and their belongings will inevitably be left to their daughters, so they naturally love Wuchou and his sister Jiaojiao.
Liu Haoyang because of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he held a banquet in Liufu, at this time Liufu was even more lively, and the family reunion was happy, no need to go into detail.
