My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 573: Jian’an’s character, do you think it’s just for fun!?
Chen Yu returned to his residence very excitedly.

"Gong Zhang. This Prince of Qin really cares about the people. In this poem, all kinds of common people including scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are included. He really doesn't look down on the common people at all."

"I express my political ideals through poetry, hoping that after the war, the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Now the scholars are infected by the poetry and literary talent of Lord Hengyang, and everyone praises him."

Zhang Er just squinted his eyes slightly and did something related to the talent he always had for a person who has always been very famous. In Zhang Er's opinion, it was nothing at all.

"Heng Yangjun, he became famous in the world at a very young age. People in Qin say that he, like his father, is the one who inherited the destiny."

"This man has few strategies and is gifted with literary talent. Even writing countless poems is nothing unusual. Because his talent is given by nature. He wrote two poems in ten days, which will make you scream. I tell you You, if he has the guts, write about it for the rest of his life, only then will he be convinced."

Zhang Er had already read some of Fusu's poems. For example, the famous song "Viewing the Sea".

"The Duke of Zhou vouched for the world's return. This man is good at winning over people's hearts! But as the prince of Qin, his purpose is only to protect Qin's own interests."

Zhang Er frowned inexplicably. If the prince of Qin does not protect Qin's own interests, then what should he protect?

"It is said that you can judge a person's heart by reading articles. This person's articles are elegant and full of literary talent. It's a pity that compared to his teacher Han Fei, his articles are far behind."

"He has a long history of scheming, but these are just his political tactics, all fancy and superficial."

This sense of mission is not only passed down from top to bottom by a pretentious but powerful empire ruler like Ying Zheng, but also comes from Zhang Er and Chen Yu who are talented and unwilling to be ordinary people. Determined by dawdling.

It is said that Chen Yu and Zhang Er have always been famous in Wei. Zhang Er was one of the few young people who had high regard for Lord Xinling before his death.

How can people like them stay at home and be wealthy businessmen and farmers?

Unknowingly, Fusu's status in his mind was already very high.

"This is quite true. It's just that I used to be a famous scholar in the Wei State, and I have been a frequent visitor to Lord Xinling's family. Back then, Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao, but after his death, I threw myself into the people who destroyed Zhao. subordinates.”

As the saying goes, whatever I eat, brother, I will give it to you, brother. Don't worry.

Chen Yu was worried that doing so would damage his reputation.

What happened to this boy today? He suddenly spoke to the prince of Qin.

These two people were suddenly wanted by the Qin State. They must have done something detrimental to the Qin State.

But the strange thing is, historically. After Qin unified the world, these two people lived a very peaceful life at first, and their lives were not disturbed.

"Since he is so popular, shouldn't we follow him as quickly as possible? It should be noted that those who want to follow him now are like crucian carps crossing the river."

They sometimes wait and see, wanting to see what Qin Wangzheng will do after that, and whether the world will become a paradise after the world is unified.

After the fall of Wei, Zhang Er's family lived in Waihuang County.

Zhang Er's eyes narrowed into two slits, with a look of pain on his face.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly retorted to his elders and friends, whom he had always respected.

After hearing this, Chen Yu couldn't help muttering in his heart. Has Duke Zhang really read all the poems of Prince Qin?

Zhang Erfu asked: "I guess the poem he wrote also talked about the hope of unifying the world. Is that true?"

As he spoke, Chen Yu saluted Zhang Er very humbly.

In other words, Qin Wangzheng became the emperor three years ahead of schedule in history.

The current unification of the world has been advanced by three years.

"Besides, when we choose to serve the Lord, shouldn't we listen to the people's wishes and see where their hearts are?"

What's wrong with Chen Yu today? When talking to him, one person always talks about the East and the other talks about the West.

Zhang Er was very moved.

It was not until several years after Qin destroyed Wei that King Qin Zheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor for many years. He suddenly heard that Zhang Er and his friend Chen Yu were famous people in Wei. For some reasons that Sima Gong himself did not record, Ying Zheng suddenly A reward of one thousand gold was offered for the capture of Zhang Er, and a reward of five hundred gold was offered for the capture of Chen Yu.

You must know that when the Qin Dynasty was established, how many people thought that they were extraordinary and could see the unification of the seven kingdoms in their lifetime!
Of course, they were also troubled from time to time. The world was unified, but the Qin State still implemented the system of prefectures and counties. Without the birth of princes and kings, there would be no ministers, nobility, and scholar-bureaucrats. They don't know where they should go.

Zhang Er listened to Chen Yu's analysis.

"The problem is that since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Mr. Zhang really should go outside and take a look. The people of Qi State greet Mr. Hengyang in the streets and recite it day and night."

In Zhang Er's view, Prince Qin was a personable and elegant scholar who was well-read in poetry and books and had a rich collection of literature and ink. Just a little literary talent does not explain how talented he is.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, has an arrogant personality. He became a close friend of Zhang Er in his early years and became a life-and-death acquaintance. As a result, the two became more famous in Wei.

"Then please think about it carefully. I once made a friend in Peixian County. At that time, I thought he was extraordinary and handsome. I didn't expect that he would now become the subordinate of Prince Qin. If he is willing to help me, then If I eat a cauldron, I will definitely get a cauldron for Mr. Zhang.”

From then on, Zhang Er and Chen Yu changed their names and fled to Chen County, where they worked as prison guards to make a living.

After Chen Yu read Fusu's poems, when he returned home, he was full of passion, and his heart is beating loudly even now.

They are also sometimes excited because they have lived half their lives, read three thousand years of mythology and history, and then witnessed with their own eyes what has never happened in history. They feel that they are living in this era and have a certain mission on their shoulders!

In short, under the influence of Fusu.

This thing was really sudden.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu were all the same as Liu Ji and Xiao He at the beginning, living peacefully under the rule of the Qin government.

At this time, Chen Yu and Zhang Er, like most people in the world, watched Qin Wangzheng, a man who was so awesome at the time, doing all the things that other men would not even dare to brag about. After it is realized.

"That's right." Chen Yu drank wine. He felt that the prince of Qin would be a good emperor in the future. "In fact, what Mr. Zhang said makes sense. Prince Qin used poetry to express his desire for national unity, political stability, economic prosperity, and people's prosperous life. Without hard work, he will ultimately fail to convince the public."

It’s just that in these years of history, Zhang Er and Chen Yu lived a good life but did things that displeased the ruler of the Qin State. It doesn’t matter whether they did something because the Qin State did not let them live a good life. .

Otherwise, Zhang Er should be arrested as early as possible. For example, during the period when the Wei State fell, Zhang Er, as a guest of Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling, and such a famous guest, should be the one who wanted to establish himself in the Wei State at that time. They were the targets of arrest by the majestic ruler of Qin, rather than Ying Zheng who ordered their arrest a few years later.

Spending the day sitting on the couch with your wife and children in your arms is simply not a human life for them!

That's why these two people rushed over when they heard that Fusu had arrived in Linzi, Qi County.

No reason, just curious!

Chen Yu traveled far away. In order to find a way to talk to that old friend, he had to go out to visit some friends with relatively high status in Qi County. Last time, I asked someone from Qi State's Meng family to introduce me to Qin General Meng Tian, ​​but there was no follow-up.

[Historically, the Meng family was originally from Qi. Meng Tian’s eldest father, General Meng Ao, defected to Qin during the reign of King Zhaoxiang. 】

Chen Yu was impressed by Fusu's article and did not want to miss this opportunity. Even if he traveled across mountains and rivers, he would find a way to meet Prince Qin.

Who makes Zhang Er just want to come over and watch the fun and be indifferent to Prince Qin!
Zhang Er was sitting in the wine shop, without Chen Yu chatting with him, his eating these days was like chewing hay, and drinking water felt sour. As for the wine, it has no taste at all!

After more than ten days, Zhang Er could no longer endure this lonely life.

Then he went out and wandered in the street.

Zhang Er, a famous scholar in Wei!

There are not a few people who have heard of his name. Especially in a place like Qilu where celebrities are respected, Zhang Er's reputation is even greater than in Wei.

It is said that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. This middle-aged man named Zhang is often troubled because he is too famous.

For example, when he was young, a widow would always appear at his door, making it impossible for him to sleep well. It was early in the morning, it was still dark, and there were people coming from far away to visit him, which made it impossible for him to sleep in.

At first, Zhang Er was really happy.

Until this time, I also lost money, and then my family's money was used to receive guests, make friends, and help the weak.

And the people who came to meet him were mostly shameless people and people who didn't understand etiquette and justice. Some people even just met him, exchanged a few words with him, and then used his name to seek personal gain for themselves.

Gradually, Zhang Er became disillusioned. He no longer entertained guests as enthusiastically as before, and he also gradually disliked being 'famous'.

Although Lord Xinling once set him the best example in the world. But Zhang Er found that he could only become Zhang Er, not the next Lord Xinling.

Until he met Chen Yu, a son he picked up halfway, Zhang Er's life opened the door to a new world.

But the good times don't last long, the child thought and ran towards Lord Hengyang's arms.

Zhang Er followed him to Linzi, but he always took the initiative to contact Prince Qin. Then with this mentality, Zhang Er came to a place to have a drink. Because Zhang Er doesn't like to be "famous", so when people chat with him and check his identity, Zhang Er casually fools them by saying that his name is Chen Er.

Anyway, I can't be more perfunctory.

As soon as the other party saw that he had an extraordinary appearance and valuable clothes, he showed his most awesome aura to everyone. Everyone came up to greet him, but after hearing his name, they felt as if they were seeing a poor man, and they panicked. Scattered away.

Zhang Er was not surprised, so he sat down in front of the altar and drank slowly.

But while he was drinking well, he heard people around him praising Lord Hengyang's poems.

Zhang Er narrowed his eyes, wondering if he was done yet. What did Heng Yangjun write? These people have been talking about him for almost a month. When will it end?

Who in this world can compare to his former master, Lord Xinling.

The prince of Qin has no faith!

After drinking, Zhang Er wandered on the street. As a result, while walking, I saw a group of people queuing up.

Zhang Er took a breath of cold air.

"It's strange! January has passed, and it stands to reason that everyone is no longer novel about this. But why is the queue so long? These peddlers are actually vying to read it. Is the writing so good?"

Heng Yangjun, what did he write?

Zhang Er didn't think that Prince Qin's poems and essays were worthy enough for him to line up to read like ordinary people. He just returned to the wine shop, took out his money and asked the waiter to buy Prince Qin's poems and essays.

The waiter of the wine shop said straight away, "Do you want something written in silk or on paper?"

"You actually separated silk books and official documents?" Zhang Er's eyes widened. "I want the official version."

"Would you like a good one, a medium one, or a low one?"

Zhang Er found it strange, "They are actually divided into upper, middle and lower grades."

The waiter immediately looked at Zhang Er with the eyes of an old farmer in the countryside, "Don't you know that the poems and essays of Lord Hengyang are already number one in the world, and this position is uncontestable. Because Lord Hengyang's poems and essays are highly praised. People are welcome, and merchants have already copied and sold Hengyang Jun's poems. We are just doing a little business."

At this time, Zhang Er did not dare to be arrogant anymore.

"In that case, Lord Hengyang's poems should be available everywhere, but why do I see so many people queuing up outside?"

The waiter stared at Zhang Er. At this time, Zhang Er had already become some kind of rare beast in his eyes.

The waiter actually showed a look of contempt for the guest at this moment, "Have you never read the prince's poems while your guest has been in Qi County for so long?"

Zhang Er felt guilty and quickly stroked his beard, "I have read every one of his poems."

The waiter shook his head, naturally not believing it.

In the evening, Zhang Er finally received the slips written by the scholars and showed them to him.

But as soon as the waiter stretched out his hand, he asked Zhang Er for one hundred Qi Guo Dao coins.

Zhang Er was greatly surprised.

The other party was obviously robbing, but he said he was doing business.

It's just that he was in a foreign country, and Zhang Er didn't want to cause trouble here, so he gave him money and sent him away quickly, lest he could not be firm-minded the next second and kill him directly.

Zhang Er just bought the article "Winter October" to read.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. When you look at it, you immediately feel that your body is suddenly filled with some kind of power. The power first bursts out from the Dantian and spreads throughout his limbs and bones, and then Chen Yu's brain began to heat up.

He began to read aloud, aggressively.

"Such an article must have been written for the hero!"

The art is simple and desolate, solemn and vigorous, and impassioned.

What’s going on with this unpretentious, unadorned style?

Where does the deep emotion that fills every word come from?
Why did a young man write such poems that were so majestic, generous and tragic? ?
Now, Zhang Er regretted his original blindness.

He should have read these poems earlier.

Soon, Zhang Er began to buy Fusu's poems again.

The waiter came back again and treated Zhang Er much more patiently than before.

Zhang Er asked the reason, "Little brother, why were you so surprised before and now you are so respectful to me?"

"The first time I was surprised was that no one had read "Winter October" until now. The second time I respected you was when I saw your expression after repurchasing "Guan Cang Hai" and "Du Guan Mountain". The reaction of Fu Sheng, the great scholar of Qi State, was exactly the same."

"I think sir, you must have realized the power of this poem and grasped its essence."

"Mr. Hengyang thinks equally of all of us, so we naturally respect him."

"Now you respect him too, so I respect you for that."

The waiter's words made Zhang Er silent for a long time.

After the waiter left, Zhang Er held these poems and read them eagerly. While reading, Zhang Er felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously looked around. Fortunately, Chen Yu was not there. Otherwise, you will lose your dignity in front of him.

It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but once he looked at it, Zhang Er wanted to see Prince Qin immediately.

At this moment, Zhang Er understood Chen Yu...

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"The moon and stars are sparse, and the magpies are flying south. I circle the tree three times, and where is the branch to lean on?"

Zhang Er read these two sentences over and over again, and felt like crying for a while.

Doesn't this refer to his current situation?
"Walking around the tree three times, where is the branch to lean on?"

"What branch can I rely on?"
-
Early the next morning, Zhang Er tidied up his clothes and went out to meet the prince of Qin.

As a result, the gate of the post house was heavily guarded.

"This is Lord Hengyang's residence. We don't accept any visitors."

Zhang Er asked the reason, "Since the prince said that he wanted to bring the world back to his heart, why did he reject the jackdaws who had no branches to rely on?"

The guards looked at each other, and then laughed, "There are too many crows to perch on the prince. We can't even chase them away."

Zhang Er was so angry that he almost threw all the slips he bought in his arms on the ground. But he held back.

The guard saw that this man was different from others and could endure what ordinary people could not endure. They have seen too many great people these days, so they no longer neglect Zhang Er.

"And you've come to the wrong place! If you want to be reused, you should go to Jixia Academy. Don't you know that the prince plans to reopen Jixia Academy?"

Zhang Er shook his head, no one told him this.

"Thank you." Zhang Er thanked the guards and immediately rushed to Jixia Academy.

In this way, when Chen Yu rushed back, he found that Zhang Er had arrived at Jixia Academy before him.

Relying on his famous name, he quickly established himself in Jixia Academy and was assigned a large room to live in.

Chen Yu went to another place to see friends, but they had already heard the news and came to Jixia Academy before him.

Good things usually don't last long, and everyone wants to grab them.

After Chen Yu arrived at Jixia, he was already very late.

He was originally angry after seeing Zhang Er becoming a distinguished guest of Confucianism. But Zhang Er quickly explained the reason to him.

"After I left, I thought about your words carefully and felt that you were right. So I quickly came to Jixia and grabbed a seat for you. With my famous name, will I let you suffer losses? ?"
