Chapter 0001: The Book Never Rebels

Next Chapter

"Hey, did you hear that?"

In the summer and May of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Hearing the sound of conversation beside him, Yang Yi involuntarily stopped.

After a little thought, Yang Yi pretended to tidy up his clothes and began to eavesdrop on the street chatter.

"Early this morning, 800 miles from the north rushed to Chang'an, and rode straight into Changle!"

I saw a man with a long sword at his waist, a strip of burlap on his head, and a man dressed as a ranger to greet him, and the idlers and lazy men on the street immediately surrounded him.

"Really?"

"How can this be?"

As Yang Yi expected: at the mouth of this four-zhang square alley, three or two idlers and lazy people gathered together, regardless of their net worth of less than one copper coin, and began to worry about national affairs.

"Emperor Gao has died in less than a month, and there are eight hundred miles in the north, maybe it's not a good omen?"

"I'm afraid that if the Hun thieves know that Emperor Gao has died, they will be in trouble for the border county!"

As soon as the man's voice fell, he attracted the echo of everyone around him.

But soon, an inexplicable agitation swept away the original atmosphere of grief and indignation.

"Gentlemen!"

"The side wall has changed, and it should be a golden opportunity for us to turn over!"

Hearing this, Yang Yi finally 'tidied up' his clothes and left this place of right and wrong.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, war does not simply mean disaster.

Especially for these 'knights' who have nothing to do and are displaced, an opportunity to behead and kill the enemy on the battlefield, win martial arts, and then clear their identities is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But all this has nothing to do with the current Yang Yi.

Coming to the familiar north gate of Weiyang Palace, Yang Yi secretly took a deep breath, stepped forward slightly, and stopped in front of the northeast palace gate of Weiyang Palace: Sima Gate.

Looking at the warrior in front of him who was fully armored and resolute, Yang Yi unconsciously straightened his waist and immediately bowed his hand slightly.

"Please also ask the general (1) to pass on the word on his behalf: the son of Yang Chengyan, the minister of the Shaofu Craftsman, please see Yang Yi in the service!"

※※※※※※※※※※

Walking on the familiar bluestone palace road, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the impermanence of life.

An ordinary student like him can be said to grasp a lot in the land of China in later generations.

But I don't know why, the hammer of fate smashed down on Yang Yi's head with precision, smashing him to a strange world more than two thousand years ago.

It's been a few months since I've been here, but everything that has happened still makes Yang Yi a little confused, the difference between dream and reality.

Especially in his mind, the unlucky guy with the same name and sex as himself left a series of memories that do not belong to Yang Yi, but they do exist.

"Shaofu Qingyangcheng Yanshuzi ......"

"In the seventh year of Emperor Gao, he was accompanied by his father to read ...... for the crown prince"

"Losing a mother at an early age......

Tsk was surprised to silently recite this part of his life experience, Yang Yi's figure couldn't help but stagnate, and he straightened his clothes a little.

——The main hall of Weiyang Palace: Xuanshu Palace, arrived......

·

"Sit down."

Walking into the oath hall, without waiting for Yang Yi to open his mouth to bow, after the royal case of the head, a somewhat immature voice came out.

Following the prestige, the slightly gloomy face of the young son of heaven appeared in Yang Yi's field of vision.

As the second emperor of the Han family and the eldest son of Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying was still slightly younger when he ascended the throne.

——Last month, Liu Bang, who was about to turn sixty-two years old, died of illness, and Liu Ying, who inherited the throne, was only seventeen years old!

Even Liu Bang's eldest son, Liu Fei, the current king of Qi, is only in his early twenties.

In the feudal era of China, the young age of the Son of Heaven would inevitably lead to a situation that was very unfavorable to the regime.

- The Lord Shaoguo is suspicious.

Especially after the founding of the country, if the second emperor is too young when he ascends the throne, the power that belongs to the emperor will be quickly dispersed, and it will be touched by the queen mother, the prime minister, the founding father, and even the court.

And once the power thing is divided, it is like lending money.

What's even worse is that the memories that are still kept in my mind are reminding Yang Yi all the time: the current situation of the Han family is far more severe than that of 'the lord and the country's suspicions', 'harem politics' and 'nobles and powers'......

"Do you know about today's events?"

The young man's easy-going inquiry brought Yang Yi's scattered thoughts back to reality, and provoked Yang Yi to give up his hand in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, on the way to the palace, I heard about the street style in Chang'an, or what Your Majesty said......"

Yang Yi's regular response finally attracted the attention of the young son of heaven from the imperial case in front of him to himself.

"Who is speaking?"

Seeing Liu Yingman raise his head with bitterness and look at himself with a miserable smile, Yang Yi was a little silent in his heart.

"The people of Chang'an all said: Today, 800 miles from the north will rush into the customs, and the post horse will drive Changle directly."

"Do you think that Your Majesty has summoned your ministers, or does you want to discuss this matter?"

The decent answer did not arouse the suspicion of the young emperor.

With a dejected sigh, he got up from the couch behind the imperial case, and Liu Ying walked down the imperial stairs with his hands in his hands and came to Yang Yi.

"Let's see for ourselves."

"The Queen Mother has summoned all the princes of the court and the central government to discuss the ...... in the Changxin Hall (2)"

As he spoke, Liu Ying took out a bamboo slip from behind him, which had obviously only been copied for a short time, and 'smashed' it heavily into Yang Yi's hand.

And Yang Yi's attention was attracted by the word 'military discussion' that Liu Ying bit down heavily.

"Convene the princes and hundreds of officials, or the military council?"

"Sure enough, is that the thing......"

Without waiting for Yang Yi to calm down, the young Tianzi shook his head with a wry smile and patted Yang Yi's shoulder.

"Today's military discussion, I can't speak."

"Qing will go with me."

"What is and what to say, you can decide ...... yourself"

If he pointed out to make an explanation, Liu Ying sighed again and walked in the direction of the apse.

——The Son of Heaven visited the Queen Mother and crowned Xuan in formal clothes.

In order to go to Changle Palace, which is close to Weiyang Palace, and meet his biological mother, Liu Ying must go to the apse to change his regular clothes.

Taking advantage of the young man's change of clothes, Yang Yi also took a deep breath, and with an inexplicable solemnity, he slowly spread out the roll of bamboo slips.

Then, it was the slightly obscure, but inexplicably cold little seal, which stabbed Yang Yi's eyes fiercely.

——The Xiongnu Shan Yu Mao Dun, and asked the Han Emperor if he was okay!

——The lonely king, born in frustration, grew up in the field of cattle and horses in the plains, counted to the border, and is willing to travel to China.

- Your Majesty is independent, living alone; The two masters are unhappy, and they have nothing to worry about, and they are willing to exchange what they have......

PS:

1. The protagonist calls the palace gate guard a general, which may look a little strange, but in fact there is no problem.

Because of the palace gate guards in the early Western Han Dynasty, the leader was called 'a certain door captain', usually served by Zhonglang under the command of Zhonglang General, with a rank of Qianshi, and a county lieutenant to start.

The group of 'Zhonglang', it is easy to understand a representative figure: the lost general Li Guang, during the reign of Emperor Wen, Wu Xun was the Zhonglang, and during the reign of Emperor Jing, he successively served as the county guard of the seven counties in the border area, and he was tired, and Emperor Wu Liu Che was called as the guard of Weiyang Palace - the 'Weiyang Palace Guard' here is the commander-in-chief of the five 'Palace Gate Captains' of Weiyang Palace, Sima Gate, Zuo Room Gate, Zhangcheng Gate, Xi'an Gate, and Dongque Gate, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and a rank of Jiuqing.

To put it more simply: the prime minister's concierge is still a seven-grade official, and what kind of small fish and shrimp can it be for the emperor to show the palace gate...... Therefore, the protagonist is a six-hundred-stone-level squire, and it is no problem to call the thousand-stone-level doorman a 'general'.

2. Changxin Temple, not the author's typo. The Changxin Hall is the main hall in the palace complex inside the Changle Palace.
