Chapter 70 Dongfang Shuo

"The history books he wrote are in a genre that has never appeared before. Like "Zuo Zhuan", I call him a chronicle, and he writes history by year, month, and day."

Huo Guang thought for a while, and indeed, the more famous history books are all like this.

"And what he wants to write, I call it the biographical style, with the emperor as the main biography, and the princes, families, and characters as the biographies."

"If he can write it, it will be a big thing, enough for him to be called the sage of history by later generations, and a sage, even if it is just a sage of one line, will have great influence, and the history books he writes are also natural. A rising tide lifts all boats."

After Huo Guang thought for a while, he finally nodded.

Then the two talked about the plan and how to deal with emergencies.

The confidence brought by absolute strength, the two of them thought for a long time, but they didn't expect anything to hinder this matter.

Since there was no problem, the two set off directly, and under the protection of Qimen, they came all the way to Bowang Garden on the south side of Chang'an City.

Entering Bowang Garden, there are many people congratulating the prince, and the prince's family orders are very busy.

Naturally, the two of them didn't have to wait, and went directly to the main hall to pay their respects.

After going in, he chatted with Liu Ju for a few words and left immediately. Seeing how busy he is today, it is obviously not the time to talk about things, so we can only talk about it another day.

Then Huo Guang and the two went to Ni Kuan's house again.

After reading "Thousand Characters", Ni Kuan was very excited and immediately agreed to join.

Then Huo Shan went to the small courtyard where Sima Qian lived, but something unexpected happened. Sima Qian hesitated and didn't want to agree.

It was Huo Shan who asked if you didn't consider me a friend, and then Sima Qian agreed. The loyalty of Huo Shan, a big man, could not move Sima Qian, a man of temperament.

When it was evening, things were almost done. As for other things, since Huo Guang was there, there was no need for Huo Shan to rush back and forth.

Huo Shan was going back to the palace to see his pigeons.

Although he was not in the palace, the pigeons were fed and released, but they hadn't been seen for two days, and Huo Shan still missed them a little.

After more than two months of development, he has more than 70 pigeons, and the training has begun.

Huo Shan found a few falconers, and after teaching them how to train, he let go of them.

Huo Shan had just entered the palace, before he reached his own hall, he ran into someone.

He was more than nine feet tall, with gray hair and beard, and the Confucian robe on his body gave him a sense of unbridled and unrestrained chic. At this time, his bright eyes were dimmed, and his face looked a little haggard.

This person is Dongfang Shuo, who is 55 years old this year.

It has been 22 years since he entered the palace at the age of 33. Liu Che liked him very much, but he just didn't reuse him.

There are many related deeds on him, such as reading 16 words at the age of 22 and 19 words at the age of 44.

It doesn't sound like much, but in this day and age, that's a shocking thing, that's 44 words.

And when he said that he had read it, he had actually read it, and the truth of the book was deeply etched in his mind.

Moreover, when Liu Che wrote a book when he was young, Liu Che read it for two months before finishing it.

The most legendary thing about him is that, as a disciple of Emperor Donghua, he stole flat peaches from heaven to eat and lived to be [-] years old, but there is no such statement yet.

He is a very talented person, but in modern terms, he is a somewhat neurotic person.

Crazy, mad, and funny, people can't guess what he is thinking, so Liu Che is unwilling to reuse him. His highest achievement is a thousand-stone doctor.

But now, he is just an idler in the palace, waiting for an edict in the eunuch's office, without an official status.

As for why he was demoted, well, he went to the hall to urinate after being drunk...

Liu Che is already doing well without killing him, so it's nothing to be demoted.

So he often said that there are many hermits in the world, who hide in the deep mountains and old forests, but Dongfang Shuo is different, he hides in the court.

It looked like he was elevating himself very high, but it was just a sad self-mockery.

So he is a tangled person, he wants to be a hermit with idle clouds and wild cranes, but also wants to be a minister with power.

.........

"Mr. East."

Huo Shan saluted Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo didn't return the salute, he just waved his hand and said:
"Zihou don't need to call me Mr., now I'm alone, just call me Manqian."

Huo Shan raised his eyebrows, it really is you, Dongfang Shuo.

"Mr. Dongfang is... visiting the palace?"

Dongfang Shuo shook his head like a rattle:
"No, no, I'm here waiting for you!"

"wait for me?"

Huo Shan showed surprise and pointed at himself.

"Exactly."

"What's the matter, Mr. Dongfang?"

"It's urgent."

Dongfang Shuo said solemnly, Huo Shan was a little speechless, just talk about urgent matters, what's the use of you just talking about urgent matters.

Huo Shan thought for a while, and then asked curiously:
"How did Mr. Dongfang guess that I would enter the palace at this moment?"

Dongfang Shuo smiled mysteriously and did not speak.

Huo Shan had no choice but to ask again:
"Would you like to go and see my pigeons together?"

"So good, so good!"

The two of them walked all the way to the pet yard, Dongfang Shuo on the way didn't say a word, he was totally different from the usual Dongfang Shuo who kept talking non-stop.

Something abnormal.

When Huo Shan finished collecting the pigeons and returned to the nest, and then finished feeding the pigeons, Dongfang Shuo followed Huo Shan's ass the whole time without saying a word.

Dongfang Shuo like this made him very uncomfortable.

"Mr. Dongfang, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly?"

Dongfang Shuo pondered for a few seconds, then asked:
"I don't know if Zihou knows about Princess Longli?"

Huo Shan nodded, he still knew about Princess Longsi, he had met her several times when he was a child, and he even attended her funeral the year before last.

This Princess Longli is Liu Che's younger sister, the same mother's younger sister.

She is married to Chen Yu, Marquis of Longli, who is the son of Princess Guantao and brother of Jinwu Zangjiao Chen Ajiao.

The marriage agreed with Liu Che is a double political marriage between the two families.

After their marriage, they had a son named Zhaoping Jun and their daughter-in-law Princess Yi'an, Liu Che's daughter.

Ten years ago, during the mourning period after the death of Princess Guantao, Chen Yu committed a shameful act, which is a major event of animal behavior, so he committed suicide.

Then she was expelled from the country, and Princess Longli brought her son to Chang'an.

Huo Shan didn't quite know, whether it was because of heartbreak or something, Princess Longli was getting weaker and weaker.

He knew that his son Zhaoping Jun was not a good person, and worried that his son would learn bad things after his death, so he handed over to Liu Che Qianjin, tens of millions of dollars, before he died.

Said that after his son committed a capital crime, he could save his life, Liu Che agreed.

Because Shaofu took over when paying the money, this incident also reflected Princess Longli's motherly love for her son, so it was widely spread, and Huo Shan naturally heard of it, but that's all he knew.

.........

"Zihou, you don't know that Mr. Zhaoping committed a crime!"

Speaking of this, Huo Shan became interested, with curiosity shining in his eyes:

"What happened?"

"Oh, he killed his mother Fu by mistake after being drunk."

When Huo Shan heard this, his face sank immediately, and he cursed in his heart, 'things that are not as good as pigs and dogs'.

What is mother Fu?Mother Fu is the nanny who teaches children knowledge and etiquette.

Taking care of children since childhood, and growing up with them, is no different from mothers. It can be said that in this era, they are closer than mothers. What kind of people are they not pigs and dogs?
"Why did Mr. Dongfang talk about this? It has nothing to do with Mr. Dongfang, does it?"

Dongfang Shuo looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh:
"Oh, it's wrong to be drunk, it's wrong to be drunk."

The matter was actually very simple, Dongfang Shuo drank with a group of people in the Eunuch Department, and after getting drunk, he bragged.

Said that this matter was entrusted to him, and Mr. Zhaoping must be safe and sound.

But after waking up from the wine, the words had already been let out, and the people from Zhaoping Jun's mansion came to the door, what should I do?

Ordinary people must be kicked out, drunken words, don't take it seriously, they definitely don't want to take this muddy water.

But Dongfang Shuo is a person who attaches great importance to his promises, and he will naturally do what he says.

After Huo Shan heard it, he could only say that he deserved it, it's time like this, you don't want to save yourself, but you want to save that pig and dog.

If what you said reached Liu Che and flouted the law, if you hadn't been for Dongfang Shuo, the custodian would have killed you too.

"Zihou wants to help your uncle Dongfang!"

Huo Shan didn't answer him, and suddenly remembered something, it seemed that this incident in his previous life had something to do with Dongfang Shuo.

But history was a little bit different than it is now.

In history, Dongfang Shuo was revived by relying on this incident.

After killing Lord Zhaoping, Liu Che felt a little uncomfortable because he broke Princess Longli's promise. At this time, Dongfang Shuo played a trick.

He picked up the wine glass to congratulate Liu Che on his birthday. Liu Che thought that he was suffering from a daily illness again, and felt that what he said was not at the right time, so he left directly.

But when he went back and thought about it, something was wrong, and then he called Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo started his fooling around.

Using the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, he said a lot, the core meaning is that sad emotions greatly affect a person's lifespan.

Borrowing wine to celebrate birthday, wine is an upright thing, and it can also relieve sorrow, so I did the right thing.

Your Majesty should take care of your body and don't be sad, well, that's probably the case.

Liu Che became nervous when he heard about the life span, and now that the matter has come to an end, he went down the steps given by Dongfang Shuo, and the matter was exposed.

Dongfang Shuo was also rewarded, and he became Zhonglang again, and was rewarded with a hundred bolts of cloth and silk.

.........

"Zihou..."

Dongfang Shuo patted Huo Shan on the shoulder, Huo Shan came back to his senses and looked up at him, and said two words resolutely:

"No help."

Dongfang Shuo was a little speechless, just about to start fooling around, Huo Shan raised his hand and interrupted him directly!

"Don't help, if you say you won't help, you won't help. I advise Mr. Dongfang not to help. This kind of thing is not as good as pigs and dogs. Why do you help him? Just die."

Huo Shan said it directly, even if it spreads, it doesn't matter.

You have been dead for decades, what can a family of little relatives with two or three kittens in the family do to me?
