[Vol. 1] Section 119: Sima Xiangru's official fortunes

------------

Sima Xiangru arrived at Chang'an City with a nervous mood, and when he stepped into this familiar city again, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, a little sad about things and people.

Soon, his sadness was replaced by excitement and anticipation, and he found that at this moment, Chang'an City was full of celebrities and celebrities, and depending on the situation, the imperial court was searching for talents, and it was the first time since the founding of the country that such a large-scale conscription of Fang Zheng and virtuous people had been established.

Slightly different from other scholars, Sima Xiangru did not take the initiative to ask to come to Chang'an, he was recommended by his fellow villager Yang Deyi, Yang Deyi official worships the dog supervisor, the dog supervisor is in charge of the emperor's hunting dogs, and can only be regarded as a sesame mung bean official in Chang'an City, however, Liu Che, who has not long been on the throne, can not do much in a peaceful atmosphere of Huang Lao, so he can only often be accompanied by internal officials to fight cocks and lackeys.

When Liu Che accidentally read Zi Xufu, he sent out, "I can't be with this person at the same time!" Yang proudly recommended the author Sima Xiangru, which can be regarded as making Sima Xiangru owe him a lot of favors.

Sima Xiangru arrived in Chang'an and learned what happened, and in his opinion, all this seemed to be providence.

There are all kinds of signs that Sima Xiangru judged that the new son of heaven has a different temperament from his father, and this temperament will be a good opportunity for him to show his ambitions.

Sima Xiangru made the most adequate preparations in the shortest time, and he even imagined the scene of the face saint, and he could take out what he had learned at any time, and pour beans in a bamboo tube, so as to pour them cleanly.

Facts have proved that his judgment was correct, his preparation was not in vain, and the new emperor Liu Che had an extremely strong interest in poetry and literature.

Sima Xiangru truly felt that the era that belonged to him had finally come after many years of tempering, and the heyday of Han Fu was coming.

When Liu Che saw Sima Xiangru, his eyes were full of reverence, he seemed to be a little disbelieving his eyes, the idol Sima Xiangru was more handsome and chic than he imagined, Liu Che asked with a little caution, "Is Zixufu really written by you?" ”

"Yes!" Sima Xiangru replied quickly and forcefully.

"It's so well written!" Liu Che praised it.

Sima Xiangru was calm on the surface, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, after so many years outside, he was finally lucky to meet the master who knew the goods.

This is the great fortune of Sima Xiangru and the great fortune of Chinese literature.

Sima Xiangru said again, "Zixufu is only written by princes, which is insignificant, and the grass people can write a safari fu for the emperor." ”

"That's great!" Liu Che was a little surprised, in his opinion, Zi Xufu was already a rare good article, but this person in front of him didn't think so, he was really a talented person with everyone's demeanor.

Liu Che ordered Shangshu to give Sima Xiangru a pen, and after Sima Xiangru knelt down to thank him, after a little thought, he splashed ink and wrote a thousand words, all at once.

Soon, Liu Che once again saw Sima Xiangru's handwriting, and this time it was done under his nose, and he dispelled all of Sima Xiangru's original suspicions, and replaced them with infinite appreciation.

"Qiwen, Qiwen!" Liu Che kept praising him.

Liu Che closed the book and immediately gave Sima Xiangru a banquet, and at the banquet, Sima Xiangru obtained an official position that was not too big or small, Lang. Although he had served as an official before, however, this time was different from the past, and he had won the emperor's appreciation, which was more important than any official position.

is the same as Sima Xiangru, Emperor Jing doesn't appreciate him, he is worthless, and Emperor Jing's son appreciates him, he can be famous all over the world overnight.

Sima Xiangru is lucky, decades ago, the talented Jia Yi did not have such luck, he left Chang'an in anger, and finally unfortunately died in self-blame and regret, while Sima Xiangru turned like a summit and gained a firm foothold in Chang'an City.

Sima Xiangru finally glorified his ancestors, and also won glory for his father-in-law, he took his wife Zhuo Wenjun to Chang'an and settled in Chang'an.

In addition to writing fu for Liu Che and other senior clients, the so-called senior clients refer to the imperial court magnates, such as "Changmen Fu" written for Empress Chen Ajiao, which will be mentioned later.

In the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (135 BC), Sima Xiangru was ordered to go to Bashu to quell the people's anger.

Zhonglang sent tens of thousands of Bashu officials and people to the southwest border to expand their territory, because the killing of Qu Shuai caused the Bashu officials and people to be terrified and unstable.

Sima Xiangru was ordered to condemn Tang Meng for making decisions without authorization, and with a clever pen, Sima Xiangru issued a notice that the matter was not the emperor's intention, so he quickly calmed down the people's hearts. Soon, Sima Xiangru immediately returned to the dynasty and resumed his life.

Tang Meng made a scapegoat, but the cause of opening up the southwest road did not stop, Tang Meng spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, aroused public resentment, but the road to the southwest was really opened.

At this time, the monarchs of Qiong and Di learned that Nanyi had been associated with the Han Dynasty and had received many rewards, and wrote to the Han court, asking the Han Dynasty to appoint them to official positions.

Liu Che consulted Sima Xiangru on this matter, and Sima Xiangru replied, "Qiong, Zhen, Ran, and Lu are not far from Shu County, and the road is easy to pass. Counties were set up in the Qin period, and they were abolished when the state was founded. If it is to be reopened, set up a county, which is worth more than Nanyi. ”

These words allowed Sima Xiangru to get a new position, and Liu Che named him a Zhonglang general, and sent an envoy to handle the exchanges with Southwest Yi.

A few days later, Liu Che received a recital from Sima Xiangru Pegasus.

Liu Che couldn't wait to spread it out and take a look, and the four big characters of "Nanshu Father" first came into view, and as the reading deepened, Liu Che was soon deeply attracted.

Sima Xiangru's recitals have always adhered to a gorgeous and profound style, so that Liu Che can appreciate literature while also understanding the meaning.

Facts have proved that Sima Xiangru is not only very good at writing, but also has excellent diplomatic skills, and the southwest Yi have been annexed one after another, and the Han court has a large area of territory.

Sima Xiangru, the victorious teacher, received an unprecedented commendation from Liu Che.

The talented Sima Xiangru was in the limelight in Chang'an.

Mr. Sima must not know that behind the scenery, it is often when danger comes, and he, a person who relies on articles, is no exception.

Someone sued Sima Xiangru for accepting bribes when he was on an envoy.

The report letter was handed over to the Tingwei Mansion, and Tingwei naturally attached great importance to it and began to investigate, and the results soon came out, Zhonglang made Sima Xiangru's ass indeed not clean enough, and he was convicted.

The case was reported to Liu Che, and Liu Che was also inconvenient to protect this favored minister and gave him a dismissal.

Sima Xiangru doesn't particularly care, although he is not ranked on the power list, but years of experience in officialdom tell him that officialdom is a place of right and wrong, and it is not suitable for the survival of people like him.

Sima Xiangru fell back to the original point from the infinite scenery and became a commoner.

In his idle days, he can take a break from his duties and settle down to write books and speak. Once his book was written, it was taken away as a treasure, and he could not even leave the manuscript.

A year later, Liu Che remembered Sima Xiangru and ordered Sima Xiangru to be recalled.

Sima Xiangru reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and he no longer had the previous ambition of Lingyun, but the prospect of his ascension still existed. As expected, Sima Xiangru obtained the position of Emperor Wen's mausoleum order after finishing a memoranine.

Now it seems that the cemetery order is nothing more than a person who guards the tomb, and Sima Xiangru seems to have been deposed. However, this idea is very wrong, the cemetery order is indeed to watch the tomb, however, the difference is that he sees the emperor's tomb, which is an honorable job, therefore, ordinary people do not get such treatment.

Sima Xiangru cemetery order is a dry for decades, in the fifth year of Yuan Hunt (118 years ago), Sima Xiangru finally became ill, resigned from the cemetery order due to illness, fell ill at Maoling's home, and there seems to be no sign of improvement.

Liu Che learned that Sima Xiangru's condition was getting worse and worse, and said to the waiter, "Sima Xiangru is seriously ill, send someone to pick up the book, otherwise, it will be lost!" When the waiter arrived at Sima Xiangru's house, he heard a mourning inside, and it turned out that this brilliant literary giant had died a long time ago.

The court attendant expressed his intention to Zhuo Wenjun, and Zhuo Wenjun replied, "As soon as the deceased husband's book is written, it will be taken away, and there is no manuscript in my house!" ”

When the waiter returned to Liu Che with the news of Sima Xiangru's death, Liu Che sighed, paced to the top of the dragon platform, and couldn't help but stand majestically in the direction of Shanglin Yuan.

He may be thinking that his time has lost one of its brightest cultural pearls.
