my brother champion

Chapter 84 A Nightmare!bad omen
"Brother Zi's works are really peerless. None of the works in Langya Pavilion can compare with your article."

Tian Ren, Ren An, and Sima Qian are invited to Langya Pavilion today to see if there are any good works that have turned out.

Unfortunately, I watched it for a long time.

No better articles have been found.

then!

Tian Rencai said to Sima Qian so flatteringly.

At the end of the competition, the works will be presented to the emperor for viewing.And Emperor Wu liked people with literary talents, so Sima Qian's articles would naturally attract His Majesty's attention.

The future is also unlimited.

Plus!
His father, Sima Tan, was the order of the Taishi, so Tian Ren complimented Sima Qian and established a good relationship.

After Sima Qian heard Tian Ren's words, he smiled lightly and said, "My dear friend, I have traveled all over the world, and I know that there are mountains beyond mountains. I dare not be so outstanding."

On the side, Ren An said with a smile: "Chief Zi is too modest. Even if your article is not unprecedented, it can easily win the first place in this competition. When the time comes, you will win the million dollars." Grand prize, don't forget to invite us to drink in the best restaurant in Chang'an!"

Tian Ren also took advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, I want the best restaurant. This is a million dollar reward. I have never seen so much money. After you get it, you can't be stingy!"

Sima Qian laughed, and said: "If I can get it, I will definitely invite you to the best restaurant. How about going to Chang'an Le, I heard that it is jointly opened by the Li family and the Sang family businessman, and it should be the best restaurant in Chang'an city." It's a restaurant."

The Sima family has always been on good terms with the Li family, and it's somewhat similar to the relationship between aristocratic families.

Did you say that there was no family in the Western Han Dynasty?
right!Not right either!
Starting from the Warring States period, those so-called layers of aristocratic class were successively defeated in the Qin Unification War, the Anti-Qin War, and the Chu-Han War, leaving a serious gap in the middle class of society!

then!

The newly rising scholar class and the meritorious service of the Han Dynasty quickly filled this blank period.

There were relatives of the emperor before, and there were meritorious officials later.

The most typical example is Yang Xi, starting from the dismemberment of Xiang Yu and making him a marquis, the fourth generation and third prince of the Yang family.

of course.

This Four Generations and Three Dukes is another matter from "Three Kingdoms", which is about the ancestors of Yuan Shao.

But it is already a latecomer.

In the end!
The germination of aristocratic families began in the Han Dynasty.

When Ren An heard what his friend Sima Qian said, he immediately shook his head and said, "How can Chang'an Le be the best restaurant? It's just an imitation of Le Restaurant here."

"I want to tell you!"

"It's still the best place to have fun here."

However, Sima Qian still stubbornly believed that Chang'an was better.

after all!

It was a restaurant owned by the Li family, who had a good relationship with the Sima family. From his standpoint, it was hard not to recommend the Li family's Chang'an Le!
So later, Ren An and Sima Qian started a debate on which of the two restaurants was better.

Tian Ren didn't care about it.

Anyway, his father, Uncle Tian, ​​is Prime Minister Lu and has nothing to do with any family, so he is happy to be at leisure and not offend others.

At this moment.

He found that there were many people watching a work in front of him, and many people in the crowd were amazed, so he interrupted the quarrel between the two and said, "Zi Chang, Shaoqing, you see that there are many people around in front of you. It’s not that there’s another remarkable work.”

heard.

Sima Qian and Tian Ren stopped arguing.

I watched many people commenting on a work in front of me.

in this way.

Naturally, they are no strangers to this. The article by Sima Qian came out a few days ago, and it was the same situation.

So ever!
Ren An clapped his hands and said, "Hey, what's the use of us arguing about which restaurant is better, and we didn't open it. Let's go, son, brother, let's go and watch and come up with any good articles."

"Shaoqing is right!" Sima Qian also laughed.

Subsequently.

The three of them squeezed into the crowd to watch together, only to realize that it was not an article but a painting that caused the crowd to watch!

The painting is so detailed that you can even see every background tree, including the horse's mane.

lifelike!

The most shocking thing was the girl on the horse!
It seems to change from which angle to look at it.

The girl's perspective is still staring at you.

For an instant.

The three of them seemed to be trapped in the scene in the painting, Qi Qi was in a daze, and it took a long time to recover.

"What kind of technique did you use to paint the place so realistically? It's amazing! Brother Zi, now, your article is about to meet your opponent." Ren An said in shock.

And what happened here.

On the second floor not far away, Huo Guang and Wei Kang had a panoramic view.

At this moment.

Mrs. Wei said excitedly: "Old Cousin's paintings are really outstanding. It has only been on display for a long time, and they have already attracted so many people to stop and stop. After a while, I am afraid that they will be more famous than the articles written by Sima Qian a few days ago." .”

however.

Compared with Wei Kang's happiness.

Huo Guang frowned tightly, but did not speak.

because!

He felt it was not enough.

So after some thought, he arranged for guards to call Ranger Fei Xie and Zhao Ji.Without further ado, he rewarded the two of them with a large sum of money.

After Fei Xie and Zhao Ji received the money, they looked at each other and asked a little puzzled, "What is Huo Yilang doing?"

"Funds for the event. After all, there is a package plan to be done in order to rescue Guo Daxia. I still have some money. I can't let the knights pay for it themselves or go hungry?" Huo Guang said lightly.

Huo Guang understands the temperament of rangers very well.

After a meal of wine and meat, he can stab his brothers in both sides.

Ask for some money!

I can stab my brother twice again.

Huo Guang bought wine and meat last time, and this time he gave money again. Invisibly, he has gradually bought these rangers.

Anyway, don't say anything else.

His so-called Huo Yilang's reputation has already risen in the circle of rangers.

After Fei Xie took the money, he asked with some doubts: "Huo Yilang, what's the next plan?"

"Promote that painting, I want you to do it, everyone inside and outside Chang'an City knows it. And, to build momentum for it, say that the painting is better than Sima Qian's writing. As for why you do this, don't ask why, Shanren I have my own plan!" Huo Guang said softly.

See here.

Fei Xian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact the rest of the rangers, and we'll do it."

immediately.

Zhao Ji and Fei Xie cupped their hands at Huo Guang and left.

At this time, Huo Guang turned his eyes to his painting again, and smiled inadvertently.

What does build momentum mean?
In fact, it is easy to understand, and can be understood as "brushing".

For example, writing subscriptions for online articles, swiping orders on Taobao, etc. Anyway, it is to use some special methods of its own to gain the maximum traffic for itself.

then.

Under Huo Guang's operation.

a time.

His oil painting was soon known to everyone in Chang'an City, so many people came to see it admiringly.

A few days later, even the people in Langya Pavilion became crowded.

Huo Guang was so afraid of a stampede that he immediately ordered people to limit the number of people entering and leaving to keep a certain number to ensure that no accidents would happen.

And with the appearance of Huo Guang's oil painting.

In Langya Pavilion, there gradually began to appear various other paintings, most of which were ink paintings.

but.

In terms of fame, most of them are not as good as Sima Qian's article.In addition, other types of books and paper works, such as lyrics and songs, have gradually increased.

After all, the article by Sima Qian made many people daunted, so they would not waste time on it.

The development of Fu in the Han Dynasty was not much worse than that of articles. Of course, many Han Fu appeared in the competition.

The issue is!
Jewelry is the first, no matter how many good works related to book paper are produced later!
in general.

The debate over the top names has fallen on Huo Guang's oil paintings and Sima Qian's articles.Although there are often people arguing about it, under Huo Guang's operation, most people support his painting.

Only a small number of people still support Sima Qian's article.

At this time.

Dong Zhongshu from the Gongyang faction, Xiaqiu Jianggong from the Guliang faction, and a dark-skinned little old man from the Zuozhuan faction.

The three of them gathered in front of the oil painting of "Girl on Horseback".

Because of different factions and differences of opinion, most of the time when the three of them gather together, they will quarrel with each other.

Many people know that among the teachings advocated by the Gongyang sect, the ten generations of revenge can still be avenged, and then they say that the Confucian scholars of the Gongyang sect dare to kill with swords, so they should not be insulted.

Such a statement is not accurate.

What is hatred?

For example, the hatred of the family and the country, the hatred of killing one's parents, the hatred of taking one's wife, etc.
Killing someone in an altercation is not called revenge.

That's murder.

Just talk about the three major Confucian factions of Gongyang School, Guliang School, and Zuo Zhuan School!
What about the quarrel?

In Confucianism, too many things happened.

Almost every day, they point at each other's noses and scold their faction's teachings as nonsense.

Take ram pie for example.

His teachings were the most radical, but he was also scolded ruthlessly.Even the disciples of the Guliang School were able to pick out every detail of the various statements of the Gongyang School, and their inconsistencies, even Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian, could not explain them.

But obviously.

The Gongyang faction is the hardest. If it is modern, it is a hawkish thinking, which is in line with the temperament of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left.

His descendants were less belligerent, so they became close to the Guliang School, and Confucianism gradually entered into the so-called "rotten Confucianism" thought.

now.

The leaders of the three major factions looked at the oil painting with different expressions on their faces.

The old man of the Zuo Chuan faction looks like he has nothing to do with himself.

Xiaqiu Jianggong of the Guliang School looked at the oil painting, leaned on his beard and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Chairman Dong, although I, my disciple of Guliang, didn't produce a very good work this time. .However, if you compete for the top spot, I’m afraid you won’t be able to fall to the ram’s head.”

Dong Zhongshu heard the words.

Then he snorted and said, "That's none of your Gu Liang's business!"

Xiaqiu Jianggong put his hands behind his back and said, "It has nothing to do with me, our Guliang, but the old man Le Le is happy to say so!"

The words fall.

He turned away.

Also leaving was the dark-skinned little old man from the Zuo Chuan faction.

Dong Zhongshu was the only one who was still looking at the oil painting. He frowned slightly as he looked at the girl in the painting.

There is no reason for him!

Just because she is too much like Dong Xun.

"Strange, strange, really strange, the girl in this painting, could it be?"

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and the competition on the creation of book paper has ended, and Langya Pavilion no longer accepts new creations.

And after the competition.

Dong Zhongshu, Xiaqiu Jianggong and others also selected the ten best works in this competition, and Sang Hongyang, the servant, presented His Majesty.

The waiter is His Majesty's close minister!

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, even entering and exiting the palace directly did not require the so-called edict.

at this time.

Sang Shizhong took the ten works and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, these are the ten works selected in this book and paper competition. In terms of literary attainments, the son of Tai Shiling, Sima Qian's article is the best. good!"

The Sima family and the Li family have a good relationship.

The Li family had some relationship with the merchants of the Sang family. Naturally, Sang Hongyang, who was a member of the Sang family, first introduced Sima Qian.

After reading Sima Qian's article, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said lightly: "Is Sima Tan's son? Well, his literary talent is not bad."

"correct!"

"How much book paper did you sell in this competition?"

Sang Hongyang cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, almost 50 pieces of book paper!"

"50 sheets? A piece of paper is calculated as one dollar, so that's only 50 yuan! As far as I know, your first place in this competition is worth a million dollars. Doesn't that mean that I still lose 50 yuan?" ?” Emperor Wu of Han frowned suddenly.

Look like that.

It seems that the 100 million was paid by him.

But yes.

From the perspective of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, everything in the world belongs to him.The money paid by the courtiers is his money.

At this time, Sang Hongyang quickly wiped the bean-sized beads of sweat from his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, this is Huo Yilang's idea. According to him, it is to facilitate the popularization of book paper in other counties in the future."

"If it's expensive here in Chang'an and cheap in other places, it will be profitable."

"When the merchants get involved, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

however.

Facing what Sang Hongyang said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not answer anything, but continued to read the following works.

original.

He thought that although Sima Qian's article was very good, the others would not be too bad.

But I didn't know to watch and watch.

The articles written by the people behind are getting worse and worse.
As for Han fu and the like.

For Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who had long been used to the Han Fu written by Sima Xiangru, the Han Fu written by other people could not catch his eyes.

Immediately.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sighed and said, "People of this younger generation seem to be losing their literary talents. What kind of mess are they writing? Can this be called a fu?"

"what?"

"This painting is really good, it gives people a feeling of life. Sang Hongyang, why don't you introduce it first?"

Sang Hongyang immediately said nervously: "I don't know who painted this painting, so I signed it to Qilin Caizi. I really don't know how to introduce it!"

Kirin talent?

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked down, and sure enough, the painting was signed with these four characters.

just.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't help laughing when he saw these four words, and said, "Hehe, such a fortune. Hey, no, I seem to have heard of it somewhere!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought about it.

suddenly.

Huo Guang's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and Emperor Wu of Han immediately guessed who made the painting.

Such a novel painting, except for that brat can make it.

Who else could it be?

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Sang Hongyang and asked, "Did the merchants of your Sang family pay 50 yuan for this million-dollar gimmick?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have done my best for this."

Sang Hongyang began to talk about how much he contributed and how loyal he was to the emperor.

however.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't listen to a word, just waved his hands and said, "Then it's decided, I will choose this painting as the first name!"

"okay!"

"You step back, that's all for today, I'm a little sleepy, I need to take a nap."

"No!" Sang Hongyang immediately exited the palace.

After seeing Sang Hongyang withdraw, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty picked up the painting and looked at it again.A girl riding a horse, what a youthful feeling.

looking at the painting.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the scene of playing with Wei Zifu back then.

At that time, he was still very young!

How high-spirited!

It's just that time makes people old. When people reach middle age, many things are already beyond their capabilities.The prince Liu Shi is also growing up, and he is almost at the age to find a tutor for his son.

thinking about
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fell asleep like this.

just.

The Liu Che in the dream was not too good.He dreamed that there was a ranger who sneaked into the palace and assassinated himself.

When a sword seals the throat.

Woke up with a start.

At this moment, Liu Che's face was pale, and his whole body was dripping with sweat.Even for a character like him, nightmares are inevitable.

But the ancients would not say that nightmares are due to physical weakness.

they think.

What you see in the dream is a good or bad omen.

So when Emperor Wu of the Han woke up, he squinted his eyes slightly, revealing a trace of murder inadvertently, and muttered softly: "You Xia..."
