Volume 1 - Acquaintance and Parting Chapter 1 - Emperor Wu dies and amnesties the world
Since the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turban Uprising, there have been many princes. After the Three Kingdoms stood side by side, the troubled times were nearly a hundred years; Until Sima usurped power, first died in Western Shu, and then destroyed Eastern Wu, and the three families returned to Jin!
I thought that the world would be unified. Unexpectedly, the Western Jin Dynasty was only more than 50 years old before it came to an end. And the Sima family's country has also been in trouble from the beginning!
In the first year of Taixi, Emperor Wu of Jin died, and the crown prince Sima Zhen ascended the throne for Emperor Hui of Jin!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Luoyang City, one of the four ancient capitals, can be described as extremely prosperous, Luoyang City has eight city gates, and the city wall is more than seven zhang high, which is the first wonder in the world!
In front of the eight city gates, there are more than 100 soldiers with armor on duty. Under the city gates, the people lined up in a long line and entered the city one by one.
The city is full of people. But whether it is a famous city or a small town, there is always such a group of people at the bottom.
In the market, an old beggar in ragged clothes and several small beggars with disheveled hair were sitting on the ground with tattered bowls.
From time to time, the crowd of people coming and going in the street would throw one or two coins into the bowl, causing the beggars to thank them one after another.
The old beggar shook the few copper coins in the bowl, and couldn't help smacking his lips: "I didn't expect to be a beggar!" I'm still so poor! β
Then he looked at the bowls of several little beggars, and saw that the bowls of several little beggars were full of coins.
Seeing this, the old beggar smiled and leaned in front of several young beggars.
"You little guys, come here, can I tell you a story?"
When the little beggars heard this, they shouted out the word "don't" in unison, and then pulled their heads and the coins full of bowls to one side, not looking at the old beggar.
When the old beggar saw it, he immediately blew his beard and glared at him: "You little guys, you are really angry......"
"Hey! Blame the old man, who is deceiving the children again? β
Before the old beggar could finish speaking, a familiar and immature voice sounded behind him.
The old beggar quickly turned around, and saw an eight- or nine-year-old child standing in front of him, but this child was also a beggar like himself!
Seeing this, the old beggar was dissatisfied and said, "The little cub of the Wu family is you again!" I haven't paid for the last story!"
"Go, go, who's the little cub of the Wu family?! You've told that story hundreds of times! I'm tired of hearing it! The child waved his hand disdainfully.
When the old beggar heard this, he smiled with a "hehe" without mind, and looked at the waist card hanging on the child's waist with bright eyes and said, "Look at your body, this waist card is the most valuable!" What do you not have the surname Wu? β
When the little beggar heard this, he couldn't help but wipe the waist card engraved with the word "Wu" on his waist with his hand, and then pouted: "Cut!" I have a Wu waist card and my surname is Wu? Then I'll hang this waist card for you, and you have to have my last name, too? β
When the old beggar heard this, he couldn't help blowing his beard and glaring, got up and hit the little beggar on the head, and said four words angrily: "No big, no small!"
"Ouch, how many times have you said it, don't hit me on the head!"
"Yo, you kid is really capable, this bowl is full so quickly? What method do you use? The old beggar looked at the little beggar's bowl full of copper plates, and his eyes couldn't help but glow.
The little beggar stretched out his index finger and hooked it, signaling the old beggar to lower his body, and then whispered in his ear: "Spring Flower Building!" Where there are many uncles!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the little beggar's voice fell, his head was hit firmly.
"Ouch! Why are you hitting me again!" The little beggar, holding back tears, questioned dissatisfiedly.
"Humph! Coming from the wrong place! Not available either! Not available either!" The old beggar sighed deeply, closed his glowing eyes, and shook his head repeatedly.
"Eight hundred miles expedited! The royal gold medal is given, the obstructor dies, and the rebel dies" Give me a dodge!"
At this moment, a horse was galloping not far away, carrying a yellow flag, holding a rein, and a long bamboo tube on its chest.
The horse went on a rampage, and the startled people at the rally hurriedly dodged, and some were so frightened that they fell to the side.
Before the little beggar could react to what had happened, the scout of the eight hundred miles of urgency had already ridden up to him.
"Get out of the way!"
I only heard the scout shout, but it was already in front of him, and it was impossible for the little beggar to dodge.
Just when the little beggar thought that he was about to be trampled on by the horse's hooves the next moment, one hand suddenly grabbed the back collar of the little beggar and pulled it away.
And the scout, without making any stops, rode away, and gradually disappeared at the end of the market.
"Little ghost, if it weren't for me, the old beggar, you would have left horseshoe prints on you,"
The little beggar's face was pale, and he nodded very solemnly and said, "Thank you for blaming the old man today!"
"Alright, alright, see you're scared? Come on, come on, I'll tell you a story, and I'll give you a crushing shock!"
As soon as the old beggar mentioned the story, the little beggar, who had been frightened before, returned to normal in an instant.
Old beggar: "......"
"Alright, strange old man, I've heard your story a hundred times! Today you saved me, and half of my money will be shared with you! Hurry up and get it!"
The little beggar put his bowl in front of the old beggar.
Unexpectedly, the old beggar looked at the money in the bowl and said, "Ill-gotten wealth is not available!" Chivalrous and courageous, how can it be wealthy? β
With that, the old beggar walked away on his own, and continued to crouch in front of his bowl, not glancing at the little beggar in his bowl no more.
Seeing this, the little beggar couldn't help complaining: "A strange old man is a strange old man, everything has to be different!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At night, the moon and stars are scarce, and the sound of frogs is filmed.
Outside Luoyang City, by a small pond, two beggars, one old and one young, were gathering around the beating bonfire at this time, enjoying the moonlight of the lake.
On the beating bonfire, there are bursts of meat fragrance, and the little beggar smells the meat fragrance, and can't help but feel relaxed.
"Strange old man, you said that it would be nice if you were like this every day, looking at the scenery and eating meat!" The little beggar looked innocently at Haoyue Dao in the sky.
The old beggar said with a straight face: "That's not necessarily, if your wish to eat meat every day comes true, then you will have more wishes and more troubles!"
"Cut! With meat to eat, what are the worries? The last piece, if you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it!" The little beggar looked disdainful of the old beggar's words.
However, what he responded to was still the four words that had not changed for 10,000 years: unusable!
In this way, the little beggar was eating the last piece of meat.
The little beggar, who was full, looked at the lonely lake, and couldn't help but fall asleep!
"Hah! Blame the old man, I'll sleep first!" The little beggar yawned one after another, his eyes filled with tears, and then his whole body fell straight to the ground.
"Since you're going to sleep, how about I give you a bedtime story?" The old beggar's voice was solemn.
When the little beggar heard this, he didn't reply, but just turned over, after all, it's been so many years!
This strange old man will not be able to sleep if he does not repeat that "clichΓ©" story one night!
Thinking of this, the little beggar couldn't help but take off the waist card, put it in his hand, and wiped it carefully against the moonlight.
"It is said that Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang led the army towards Xiangyang and Fancheng, and Pang De carried the coffin to fight to the death, which coincided with heavy rain from the sky......
In this way, in the end, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and shocked Huaxia, which can be described as ......"
"Whew, whew, whew."
The old beggar was talking and talking, but he heard snoring around him.
"Alas! This kid, really...... That's it, that's it, sleep, sleep!" The old beggar said this, and slept on the ground.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next morning, before the sun had risen, the little beggar, who was sleeping soundly, woke up under the influence of external shaking.
"Hey, boy! If you don't get up again, the sun will come out! β
The little beggar with sleepy eyes opened his eyes and saw a familiar big face.
"Whew! The sun won't come out one day! ...... so early," the little beggar grumbled, but jumped up from the ground.
And the old beggar had gone to the pond to wash his face.
"I said strange old man, you are really strange, why do you still love to be so clean?"
The little beggar stood aside, looking at the old beggar's clean and torn clothes, and asked questions while relieving himself.
When the old beggar who washed his face heard this, he said seriously: "Even if you are a beggar, you must be a clean beggar!" Well? Hey, stinky boy, what are you doing?!"
"Haha! Excuse me! I'll go first! It's so comfortable!"
The old beggar, who was still washing his face, suddenly heard the sound of water, turned his head to look, and suddenly screamed. And the little beggar had already laughed and ran away.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It was nearly noon, and people came and went again in the well of Luoyang City.
The little beggar and the old beggar were still squatting in the old place, the little beggar looked up at the people coming and going, and the old beggar on the side kept wiping his face.
"Hey, hey, I said weird old man, you've been wiping all morning! You're about to wipe the skin off! Are you idle? β
The little beggar looked at the old beggar and couldn't help but joke.
"Humph! It's not that you kid is to blame for doing all the things that lack virtue!"
Just as an old man and a young man were squatting on the side of the road and arguing, they only heard the sound of gongs and drums in the distance. The sound of gongs and drums caused the people in the bazaar to wait and see.
When the little beggar heard this, he thought that it was a good relationship with Qin and Jin, so he got up curiously and looked around. The old beggar, however, seemed unusually calm and continued to wipe his face.
After a while, the sound of gongs and drums came closer, and the little beggar looked at it and found that it was two officials in green robes and vegetarian heads, who were slowly marching forward under the guard of a group of small officials.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Three gongs sounded in a row, and the little beggar couldn't help but cover his ears.
"The first emperor returns to heaven! The new emperor is on the throne! Change Taixi to Yongxi! The emperor's grace is vast, and the world is amnesty!"
As the gong fell, only two officials were heard shouting in unison.
Just when the little beggar had doubts, he saw that all the people around him knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
And the little beggar was forcibly pulled to his knees by the old beggar on the side.
"Hey! Strange old man, what is this for? Isn't the emperor dead? Why are these people still so happy? The little beggar who was dragged to his knees couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Shhhh You dare to be so loud about the emperor's affairs, looking for death, you? Kneel well, don't talk!"
Seeing that the old beggar wouldn't let him speak, the little beggar had to lower his head and continue to think about the question just now.
