Destiny Only Han

Chapter 71 I'm used to it
Ten miles south of Yangzhai City, on the bank of Yushui.

On the mountain in the distance, there are broken walls and ruins, and there are incomplete and incomplete stones carved with exquisite patterns.

This is a former palace of the King of Han.

After Qin conquered Han, they looted all the valuable things and shipped them to Xianyang. After that, the Li Palace was burned, and the prosperity of the past can only live in people's memory.

On the dirt road leading here, a carriage bumped up, and Liu Ying's pale face was exposed at the window.

He couldn't control the old driver Xia Houying, so he could only endure motion sickness.

Asphalt roads, springs, rubber tires, the Lifetime series... Liu Ying felt depressed and retched again.

In the carriage, Lu Shizhi flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand in the dim light, turning a blind eye to Liu Ying's motion sickness.

After all, you just get used to spitting.

They are going to go to the market here today. According to the rules of the former court and the later market, outside the palace is the most prosperous market in Korea.

When the Qin State was there, it strictly followed Shang Yang's principle of "making a profit out of one hole", teaching the people to farm and fight, and was always in a state of high pressure on merchants.

But now that they have broken away from the rule of the Qin State, in just half a year, shops here have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. There are rumors that in the past ten days alone, the amount of tax paid here has reached as much as [-] yuan !

Lu Shizhi put down the bamboo slips, his face full of helplessness: "I told you to stay at home, but you must come out with me..."

Liu Ying interrupted his thoughts: "How about, uncle, tell me some stories to distract me!"

Huddled in a corner, the drowsy Liu Le's eyes lit up: "Tell a story? Good!"

Lu Shizhi smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'm afraid of you..."

These are my own nieces and nieces, who do not spoil them?

Pointing to the mountain bag in the distance, he asked, "Do you know the name of that one?"

Liu Le crossed his hips and said, "I don't know!"

I don't know what's wrong with your smug face... Liu Ying glanced at Lu Shizhi who had a sluggish expression, and suddenly rolled her eyes.

Lu Shizhi calmed down a bit: "This place is called Daling, also called Juntai..."

He paused for a while, hoping that the two little guys in front of him could give some feedback, but Liu Le was full of pride, and Liu Ying was expressionless. The only thing they had in common was that their eyes were full of bewilderment.

Lu Shizhi laughed at himself: "It is said that when Dayu was a hundred years old, he passed away while visiting the world and passed by Mount Kuaiji, so he was buried there on the spot. His son Qi, supported by the princes of the world, inherited the great Yu's position has become the co-lord of the world."

He pointed to the distance and said: "And Juntai is the place where he meets the princes and feasts on the officials..."

Well, this should be the first ever 'Founding Ceremony' and 'State Banquet'... Liu Ying nodded slightly, ashamed to say that his understanding of Xia, Shang and Zhou was limited to Fengshen Romance and online novels...

Lu Shizhi continued: "This is the beginning of 'family world', and the official establishment of the Xia Dynasty."

"Afterwards, the throne was passed on to Taikang. Taikang was greedy for personal enjoyment and loved drinking and hunting. So he was seized by the descendants of the leader of Dongyi Youqiong clan. He shot Taikang to death in the suburbs and supported Taikang's younger brother, who is Zhongkang ascended the throne."

Houyi?The one that shoots the sun?Unexpectedly, this is still an ambitious man... Liu Ying nodded: "I think Zhongkang is a puppet?"

Lu Shizhi smiled in agreement: "Of course, later Zhongkang launched a mutiny and beheaded Houyi, but who was Houyi? He was outstanding in force and bravely crowned the three armies. Facing this scene, he told the warriors around him that no one would be allowed to do so." Helper, holding a bow in the left hand and a halberd in the right..."

Lu Er Er has turned on the storytelling mode... Liu Ying coughed lightly, and stopped Lu Shizhi's romance mixed with private goods.

Lu Shizhi knocked him on the head, and continued: "Anyway, Zhongkang died, and then his son Xiangxiang came to the throne, but after a while, Houyi also drove him away, and he became King Xia himself."

"This is the story of Taikang's loss of the country and Houyi's replacement of Xia..."

The little Lolita at the side hung her head down, drowsy, but Liu Ying came to her senses, as if she had forgotten that she was motion sick, and leaned over to Lu Shizhi's side:
"What then?"

Lu Shizhi said: "As for later, um, Hou Yi was a man of great courage, but not the ability to govern the country. He handed over the political affairs to his retainer Han Yun, while he was addicted to wine and sex, and hunted too much... "

Liu Ying suddenly interjected, "I think he's a wild hunter because he wants to eat fresh meat... If our family didn't have the money to buy it, I'm afraid my father would go into the woods every day to hunt. It's..."

Lu Shizhi chuckled, "There's some truth to it!"

He paused, and then said: "Since Houyi often goes out, Han Yun took this opportunity to replace the 'family members' who stayed behind, um, the doormen, with his own people, and then took the opportunity to kill Houyi's family. became king."

Well, the way of heaven is reincarnated... Liu Ying scratched her head: "But I remember that the Xia Dynasty was destroyed by the Shang Dynasty..."

Lu Shizhi nodded and said: "Yes, that's right. I haven't finished yet. The Prime Minister who was driven away by Houyi before fled to his mother's natal family, the Yu family, to seek help. There is the Yu family, which is the son of Shun. tribe."

"He accumulated strength there, contacted the old department of the previous Xia Dynasty, and then sent troops to defeat Han Yun, and restored the Xia Dynasty..."

Liu Ying listened, as if Lu Shizhi was not telling the story of Xia Dynasty, but the story of Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

From Hou Yi, Taikang, Xiang, Han Yun and others, he vaguely saw the shadows of Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Xiangzizhi of Yan, King Goujian of Yue and others...

Sure enough, human beings are a circle...

Lu Shizhi suddenly smiled and said: "Juntai is not a simple place. It not only witnessed the birth of the Xia Dynasty, but also the place where Xia Jie imprisoned Shangtang."

Liu Ying frowned slightly and asked, "Uncle, how do you know so much? Could it be that our family still has history books about the Xia Dynasty?"

Lu Shizhi shook his head: "It would be great if our family had this kind of book! But it's a blessing and a curse. In the past, the State of Qin had a book order. In addition to books such as medical divination and divination, the history books of the six countries, folk poems, books, etc. The opinions of hundreds of schools are not allowed to be collected by private individuals, they must be sent to the government to be burned within [-] days, those who violate the order will be punished with tattoos, and those who talk about poems and books will be abandoned in the market..."

Liu Ying sighed: "It's a pity, I don't know how many ancient things have been drowned..."

Lu Shizhi smiled and said: "No, before burning the books, copies will be copied and sent to Xianyang. The story of the Xia Dynasty is that when I was studying in Xianyang, I heard a fat man who rented next door tell me of."

Liu Ying asked: "Fatty? Who is it?"

Lu Shizhi scratched his head: "The surname seems to be Zhang, what's his name... Er, yes, Zhang Cang! He was the official history of the Qin Kingdom at that time, and he was in charge of these classics!"

Liu Ying nodded, he remembered the name Zhang Cang in his heart.

We all know that librarians are not ordinary people!
