After coughing like this, Cui Guang didn't need to explain more.

——Tang Bing, Dongyuan Gong, Xia Huang Gong Cui Guang, Qili Ji Wu Shi, and Mr. Lu Li Zhou Shu are four people, but they are rare living fossils today!

The four of them, without exception, all witnessed the rise of Qin Shi Huang sweeping away Liuhe and unifying the world, and also witnessed the fall of the second succession and the chaos of the world.

As for these four old men who were proficient in Confucianism and once served as Dr. Qin Zhi lived in seclusion in Shangshan, it was all more than 20 years ago, when Qin Shi Huang 'burned books and pit Confucianism'.

Legend has it that the first emperor ruled the world, burned the history books of the six countries, and forbade the people to privately collect a hundred allusions, and then set up the Shiqu Pavilion in the Qin Xianyang Palace, and the history books of the six countries and the hundred classics were hidden in the Shiqu Pavilion.

After the book of the world was hidden in Shiqu Pavilion, the first emperor Yingzheng set up 70 doctors to serve as scholars.

Tang Bing, Cui Guang, Wu Shi, and Zhou Shu are four of the seventy doctors set up by the First Emperor, who are respectively in charge: one is through the ancient and modern; Second, it is said that it is not true; Three is called a canonical teacher.

Later, Ying Zheng realized that his life was not long in coming, so he began to indulge in the art of seeking immortals, and sent Xu Fu out of the East China Sea to seek immortals, and he was a Guangluo magician to refine the elixir for himself.

The results are obvious.

——Xu Fu, who led 3,000 boys and girls, successfully became the ancestor of Dongying's small days.

And those who lie that they can refine the elixir of the elixir have all become the souls of the 'tyrant' Yingzheng.

It was also in that period when the undercurrent of the Qin court was surging and the first signs of turmoil appeared, that Tang Bing, Cui Guang, Wu Shi, and Zhou Shu, four colleagues and friends, met and resigned from their doctorate positions together, and lived in seclusion in the mountains of Shangluo.

It has been more than 20 years since the first emperor ruled the world and set up seventy doctors, to the first emperor who died in the sand dunes and succeeded to the throne by the second, and then to the disputes at the end of Qin and the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han.

The four old men who used to be Dr. Qin Zhi are now all in their nineties.

And at this age that can be called 'Renrui', the four old men do have enough reasons to continue to live in seclusion in the mountains and not come back.

But it is obvious that Liu Bang still has an indelible resentment in his heart towards these four old men who refuse to go out and serve themselves.

After only a little silence, Liu Bang turned his head sideways in confusion and looked at Cui Guang's sagging face.

"What Huang Shigong said is very true."

"The four gentlemen are too old to be able to do anything."

seemed to explain to Cui Guang with good intentions, but Liu Bang changed his head.

"In this case, why don't the four gentlemen still live in seclusion in Shangshan, but go down the mountain to enter the office, thinking that they are guests on the prince's throne?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads sideways, looking at Liu Bang's unpredictable face, and then came back to their senses.

Yes.

Now, this is not the time to express your admiration for Shangshan Sihao!

Such four sages who can't even be invited by Liu Bang today have now appeared next to the crown prince Liu Ying, and it happened to be at the moment when Liu Bang showed his intention to be easy to store?

"Worthy of the queen......"

"With such means, Mrs. Qi is far inferior!"

The courtiers in the hall sighed secretly, then turned their heads sideways and looked at Liu Bang and Cui Guang on the royal steps.

Hearing Liu Bang's words, Cui Guang, the Huangshi Gong who was supported by Liu Ying and coughed lightly, raised his head slightly, and the respect for the superior in his eyes also quietly dispersed with Cui Guang's raised head.

"Your Majesty will ask, and the people will not dare not answer!"

"The old age is close to old age, it is for His Majesty to behead here, and he will die without regrets!"

With a sonorous and powerful word, Cui Guang quietly stopped coughing, put the silk cloth in his hand back into his arms without a trace, and held the dove cane in his hand with both hands, straightening his old back!

"Your Majesty said: Repeatedly sent envoys to solicit the people, but then to the old and other Confucian scholars, what does Your Majesty think?"

"In the past, Your Majesty still stayed in the palace, and Guangye Jun ate his past, what did Your Majesty say to restore Guangye Jun?"

"Han Zuoli, Dr. Qin, Uncle and Sun Tongshi of the Emperor of the First Qin, think it is normal."

"However, just because His Majesty did not like it, his uncle and grandson took off their Confucian crowns, abandoned their Confucian robes, and wore the clothes of Chu Min to ask for His Majesty's favor; So far, Shusun Tong has been an official and ranked in the ninth secretary, what does Your Majesty want to say? ”

With a resolute remark, Cui Guang couldn't help but straighten his already straight waist.

"Guangye Jun Li ate his past to see His Majesty, and His Majesty replied: I take the affairs of the world as the most important thing, and I have no time to see Confucians!"

"For the sake of Your Majesty, Guangye-kun does not hesitate to see Your Majesty in the name of Gaoyang drunkard!" ①

"Uncle and grandson of Ji Heijun are under the influence of His Majesty, lest he be hated by His Majesty, and even turn his back on his master and invite His Majesty to be favored in front of His Majesty with Chu Yi!" ②

"In this case, what does Your Majesty say: how much respect is there for the people?"

"What do you mean by valuing the people, relying on the old decay to help Your Majesty govern the people, so as to give birth to Li Shu?"

With a sad face, Cui Guang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and slowly closed his eyes.

"The people live in seclusion and do not eat, it is not that they do not eat Hansu, but that they are evil in the name of Gaoyang drunkards and despise Chu Yi to invite pets."

"However, the prince respects the old and respects the virtuous, and the disciples salute to invite the four of them, and even drive the car to recruit the virtuous."

"The people wait until Chang'an, the prince condescends to be noble, and he does not despise the old and decayed, thinking that he is a guest."

"The prince treats the people with benevolence and righteousness, and the people are safe and secluded?"

Speaking of this, Cui Guang opened his eyes again, full of a long breath: "That's all the old man's words. ”

"Your Majesty values martial arts and despises Confucianism, but the prince is benevolent and righteous, which is the reason for the influence of the old prince."

"If Your Majesty wants to behead it, the people's necks are here, waiting for Your Majesty to give the people a death......"

After saying that, Cui Guang raised his head and turned his head to the side slightly, revealing his rough neck, making a posture of killing with his neck.

At the top of the imperial stairs, Liu Bang, who was sitting on the royal couch, was already like a frost at the moment, his cheeks trembled invisibly, and even the masseter muscles on his cheeks were also undulating for a while......

1. Gaoyang drunkard Li eats it, the allusion is from "Historical Records Volume 97: Lisheng Lu Jialie Biography 37"

Translation: Liu Bang has always despised Confucianism, and when he saw Confucianism in the past, he often used his Confucian hat as a urinal to insult Confucianism. Suddenly, he heard that a Confucian student asked to see him, and in a fit of rage, he asked someone to refuse to receive him, and said, "I take the world's major affairs as the priority, and I don't have time to meet Confucians." Li Shiqi, who had been waiting outside for a long time, listened, and immediately looked at the sword messenger and said: "Go, re-enter Yan Peigong, I am a Gaoyang drunkard, and I am not a Confucian!" ”

2. Chu Yi invited his uncle Sun Tong, the allusion is from "Historical Records Volume Ninety-Nine, Liu Jing's Uncle Sun Tong's Biography Thirty-Nine"

Translation: Shusun Tong always wears a Confucian costume, and the King of Han hates it very much when he sees it; He changed his clothes and put on a short jacket, and it was made according to the customs of Chu, and the king of Han was very happy to see it.

The descriptions of Shangshan Sihao in the book are respectively taken from "Historical Records Volume 55: Liuhou Family Twenty-Five" and "Han Book Volume Forty: Zhang Chen Wang Zhou Biography Tenth", and the details are secondary creations.
