"Ahh Hell, who's talking bad about me behind my back!"

After sneezing several times in a row, Huo Guang couldn't help but rub his itchy nose.

At this time.

Sima Qian, who was standing with him, said with a smile: "You should be suffering from a cold, or caused by a cold, what does it have to do with others saying bad things about you behind your back?"

"Or do you mean?"

"What's the special way to say it?"

Huo Guang immediately waved his hand and said, "Eh, I said this casually, how can I say anything."

"Okay!" After Sima Qian smiled, he continued, "The chair is in the Inutai Palace, has it won the other four great Confucianism?"

Huo Guang nodded and replied, "I won, and now I am left by Your Majesty to hold an apprenticeship ceremony for the prince Liu Ju."

Before Liu Yi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had no heirs.

And the prince has always been a major matter of the country, and even seven or eight years ago, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still very young, his uncle Tian Wei hooked up with Liu An, the king of Huainan. said that after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then Liu An is the most promising person to be the Son of Heaven.

After all.

Liu An, the king of Huainan, was the grandson of Gaozu.

However, no one thought that Wei Zifu, the real nobles of the Wei Huo family, would give birth to the first prince for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty so suddenly.

Just right.

The original Empress Chen was deposed as a demon in the palace, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, including the military officials of the imperial court, had to pave the way for the future of the first prince of the Great Han Dynasty.

If the name is not right, it is not good.

Thereupon.

In the absence of any opposition, Wei Zifu, the noble man who really made the Wei and Huo families rise, stepped into the Jiaofang Hall of Weiyang Middle Palace and was named the queen in the support of everyone.

His Majesty is now asking scribes like Dong Zhongshu to assist the prince Liu to read the "Ram Spring and Autumn Period", which means that the Ram Theory will become the official study of the court.

Official Learning!

What do you mean?

It means that in the future, the remaining four families in the Spring and Autumn Five Legends, even if they are united, will not be enough for the size of the ram.

Of course, these are only the prospects that can be perceived at the moment.

The development of the story is always confusing, and who knows what will happen next?

Anyway, when Sima Qian heard Huo Guang say that Dong Gong had become a scribe who tutored the prince Liu Ju, he was in a good mood at the moment, and laughed and said, "Dong Sheng's knowledge, eloquence, and insight are very comparable. It was expected to win the other four."

Dong Sheng, a kind of accoladed title.

This point was written in this way in Sima Qian's later historical records.

"Ah, yes..."

Huo Guang didn't know why Sima Qian was so excited, looking at his appearance, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he casually responded twice.

Then.

Sima Qian looked at Huo Guang again and asked, "By the way, Huo Yilang, since I lost to you in the last book and paper competition, I have been very confused. How did you create that painting so lifelike and so colorful?"

"You mean my painting of a girl on horseback?" Huo Guang frowned and said.

Sima Qian nodded immediately, but looking at Huo Guang's unsmiling appearance, he immediately changed his words and said, "Huo Yilang, please rest assured, Zichang definitely has no intention of coveting your painting techniques!"

No?

No you still ask!

Huo Guang thought about it, then shook his head, and said, "It's okay, if Eldest Brother Zi wants to learn, I can teach you!"

"Uh..."

When Sima Qian heard this, he was slightly embarrassed.

He wanted to understand the creative technique of that painting, but Huo Guang added a "teaching" to it.

In this way, wouldn't he have to worship Huo Guang as a teacher?

That's not going to work.

I'm twenty years old, how can I call a teacher behind this teenager.

Thereupon!

Sima Qian immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm just asking casually."

"Oh, that's a shame!" Huo Guang shrugged indifferently.

After chatting for a while, Huo Guang invited this cheap senior brother Sima Qian into the room for a drink.

Meantime.

Various programs were also arranged for Sima Qian.

After the future Taishi Gong enjoyed himself, Huo Guang asked, "What does Elder Brother Zi think of my restaurant?"

After Sima Qian smiled and exchanged cups with Huo Guang, he replied: "Huo Yilang's music here, the program is dazzling, and it is indeed exciting. Compared with Chang'an Le Restaurant, there is nothing bad except for the appearance of the singer."

Chang'an Le?

Huo Guang's eyebrows furrowed, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Doesn't Eldest Brother Zi know that the critics of Chang'an Le Restaurant are all dug up from me by that Sang Hong sheep? Even their business model is learned from me!"

"Well, I really don't know." Sima Qian's face was puzzled.

Maybe because he had a close relationship with those people in the Li Mansion, he didn't want to talk about some bad things, so he immediately talked about other things, and said, "Listen to the lecture, Huo Yilang once had a different understanding of "The Legend of the Ram Spring and Autumn"!"

A different understanding?

In this era, it should be said that it is deviant!

After Huo Guang thought about it, he said, "No, no, it's just that I read "Ram" for the first time and didn't understand its meaning."

"Brother Zi."

"Actually, I don't think Kong Sheng should have so many subtleties when he wrote "Spring and Autumn", what do you think?"

When Sima Qian heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "So, Huo Guang, the Mengxue disciple at the chair, actually supports the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography" in his heart?"

Huo Guang waved his hand and hurriedly explained, "No, no, it's just a casual remark. That's right. With the talent of the eldest brother, have you ever thought of writing a book similar to "Spring and Autumn"?"

In fact.

What Huo Guang wants to say is the rhymeless and detached "Historical Records"!

But Sima Qian obviously didn't have the idea of compiling the "Historical Records" at this time, so he shook his head directly and said, "My father is doing it, and I haven't thought about this thing for the time being. After all, when you are young, you still need to study and read more."

Huo Guang then nodded and said, "Young people should have more fun!"

Play?

Sima Qian smiled faintly and didn't say much. While eating wine, I opened two more packets of crispy noodles.

Looking at the brightly colored character card inside, I couldn't help but sigh, "Huo Yilang's card is exactly the same as the thing on that painting!"

"There are still some differences." Huo Guang shook his head and said.

At this time.

I only heard Sima Qian say, "I have a cousin named Sima Liang, who is younger than Huo Yilang, but he has seen this kind of card from him."

"Unexpectedly, this card turned out to be from Huo Yilang's here."

"It's just that the generals on this card don't quite match the historical figures of the Warring States period!"

Huo Guang suddenly laughed and said, "It's just a card, Elder Brother Zi doesn't need to care about this, come, drink and drink..."

「......」

Meanwhile.

In the palace, Liu Ju, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was after worshipping the teacher. The scribe Dong Zhongshu began to explain the subtle words of "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Ram" to the prince of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that.

With the character of the crown prince Liu Ju.

How is it possible to listen to such a literature codified by oral tradition?

What's more, listen to it a second time!

If it weren't for the previous advice from his father, Emperor Liu Che, he would have studied hard. Otherwise, at this moment, I am afraid that I would have fallen asleep a long time ago.

In most film and television dramas, the character of Prince Liu Ju is that kind of gentle and cowardly.

Not really!

Liu Ju, recorded in the official history, although he was very afraid of his father, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, often did things contrary to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in private.

Let's take an analogy.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked him to go west, Liu Ju

will cowardly go west.

Wait for Emperor Wu of Han to turn around.

This prince Liu Zhi will run to the east in a puff of smoke.

It's not.

When Dong Lao was counseling Liu Ju on how to understand the subtle words and righteousness in "Ram Spring and Autumn", the prince Liu Ju suddenly covered his head and said, "Dong Gong, I am dizzy today, can I read this "Ram" again in a few days?"

Liu Ju is the only current prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the future prince of the entire Han Dynasty.

Even Dong Zhongshu, who was restored to his status as a scribe, did not dare to force the prince to study.

Forthwith.

Dong Zhongshu arched his hand and said, "Since Your Highness is dizzy, then take a good rest. The old man will leave first, and in a few days, he will come to counsel His Highness!"

"Thank you Dong Gong for your understanding."

The prince Liu Ju immediately arched his hand at Dong Zhongshu.

After Dong Zhongshu leaves.

Liu Ju, who said that he was dizzy just now, suddenly became energetic, and at the same time, he also said to his companion, "Let's go, let's go out of the palace to play."

The attendant immediately said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, isn't this okay? Your father is asking us to read here, I heard that Your Majesty has always respected "The Legend of the Ram Spring and Autumn", if you don't read it well, and your Majesty will personally check it when the time comes, what should Your Highness do at that time?"

However.

The young prince Liu Ju smiled and said, "It's useless to read the book of the dead, not to mention, this book "Ram" was taught by the former Taifu Shiqing a few years ago, and I have already read it through, so there is no need to read it again."

"Forget it."

"If you don't want to leave, you can leave the palace alone."

When the attendant heard this, he immediately said, "No, no, no, Your Highness, I'd better go with you."

"To be on the safe side."

"Let's bring more waiters, can you?"

However.

Liu Ju shook his head and said, "We are going out of the palace to play in private, and you have to bring more waiters, do you think that my father can't find out that I secretly went out of the palace?" What a brain!"

Talking.

Immediately, Liu Ju knocked on the forehead of his companion.

After taking a head of melon seeds.

The attendant didn't dare to say more.

Later time.

Liu Ju skillfully sneaked out of the palace, asked the attendant to get a carriage, came to the door of a people's mansion, and knocked on the door.

Soon.

A snow-white girl opened the door, and when she saw that it was two young children, she immediately frowned and said, "Which child are you, what are you knocking on?" Where's your family?"

Liu Ju said with a smile: "My sister is so good-looking, like a fairy in the sky."

Faced with this, the girl frowned, stepped forward and pulled Liu Ju's little face, and said, "At a young age, I learned to tease women in the tone of adults. It seems that the adults in the family are not good people, right?"

This scene happened suddenly.

made Liu Yi's companion suddenly wide-eyed, and immediately scolded: "Bold, you demon woman, let go of your dirty hands."

"What did you say?"

The girl then stole a deathly look at the attendant.

The attendant didn't dare to speak anymore.

But Liu Yi was not afraid at all at this time, smiled and knocked off the girl's slender jade hand, and said indifferently: "May I ask if this is the mansion of Jiang Gong of Fangqiu, I heard that Jiang Gong has studied "The Legend of Guliang Spring and Autumn" for many years, and I have come to visit and ask for advice, and I hope that my sister will make it convenient."

......

......

It's another month past.

The scorching heat lasted for two whole months.

In some places, the drought is severe.

On the official road in the northwest direction of the Han Dynasty, a group of "Green Forest Heroes" are ambushing on both sides of the road, preparing to hijack the grain guards who passed today.

"Eh, who is that, are you sure that there is a convoy escorting official rations passing by here today?"

A man with a suspicious face stared at the slightly sven young man on the other side and shouted.

The young man, who was a little sven, looked cowardly, and replied, "Today, I have inquired, and there is a convoy of food escorts passing by. I heard that I came from the Western Regions."

The middle-aged man with a suspicious face was still very dissatisfied with this reply, and scolded: "Since there is a convoy escorting food passing by, why hasn't it come?"

"Damn, it's such a hot day, hiding in this hellish place, and mosquito bites."

"What if no convoy passes by?"

"Hmph!"

"I have to skin you alive and steam you in a pot."

When the young man heard this, he trembled with fright, so he had to whisper, "There will be a convoy passing by, and there will definitely be a convoy of grain passing!"

When he said this, it was like a prayer, and it was like a reply to the middle-aged man who was full of gangsterism.

It's just that the middle-aged man was very impatient with mosquito bites at the moment, and immediately scolded: "What are you muttering about, are you scolding me?"

"No, it's not..."

The young man opened his mouth to explain his actions.

Then I heard someone shouting, "Look, a convoy is coming, it's a convoy with grain!"

"Shhhh

"When the escort is in, we'll rush out and kill them."

Time.

The bandits' voices were gone, replaced by the ghostly cries of the summer insects in the jungles on both sides.

It's close.

It's closer.

Looking at the convoy of grain from a distance, there are sacks pressed one by one, all of which are bulging!

This is not food, what else can it be?

It is said that people die for money, and birds die for food?

Not really.

Because people also die for food, especially in ancient times when materials were extremely scarce.

The bandits in ambush in the jungle on both sides suddenly turned red when they looked at the grain, and their spirits were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

There is no irritability from previous mosquito bites at all.

Until a certain moment.

The leader of the gang stood up and raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, if you don't want to starve, just rush with me!"

"Slaughter all these *** officials, and drag all the grain back."

"Hahaha!"

"Steal the food of the Emperor of his dogs."

Time.

Countless figures, armed with a mess of weapons, ran out from both sides, slaughtering the group of officials.

Blood.

Like paint, it stained the road red.

The person who led this gang of bandits, named Zhu Qian, was a famous thief on the host road, who had been committing crimes for countless years.

Now.

He watched greedily at the looted convoy of grain, completely oblivious to the consequences of such a move.

And yet at this moment.

A little brother stepped forward, cut open the sack, and saw that what flowed out of it was a large handful of black soil, and immediately shouted in panic: "Head, this is not food, this... We robbed the earth!"

"What? Soil?"

Zhu Qian's pupils shrank slightly, and his face was full of disbelief.

He immediately stepped forward and used a knife to cut open the other bulging sacks, and was dumbfounded when he found that they were all black soil.

"Dirt? How can it be dirt?"

"There is no food in other places due to the drought, these Chang'an magnates, what are they doing to transport the soil back to Chang'an with such fanfare? Hungry?"

"Fang Qing, you damn dog!"

"Why don't you get over here, tell me, what is this?"

"I, Zhu Qian, am a bandit, not a bandit! You say, what are we doing with all this dirt with all our energy?"
