The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 147 The Divine Bird Appears before the Man
"Need my help?"

Bai Zhi pondered for a moment, then understood what Han Wu Emperor Liu Che was referring to, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Immediately, he thought of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history.

Historically, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion: to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism.

This resulted in the feudal dynasty that lasted for more than 2000 years, and was always dominated by the Confucian family.

Even in later generations, due to the degeneration of Confucianism, it became the so-called Confucianism, which hindered the development of Chinese civilization.

But one thing can be confirmed, Confucianism is the only one to be respected, and Confucianism’s influence on Chinese civilization has been in all aspects, shaping the Confucian academic circle in East Asia.

Of course, this does not mean that the Confucians of later generations have not made progress. On the contrary, the Confucians of later generations continue to draw nourishment from the opinions of hundreds of schools of thought and turn the beneficial ideas of hundreds of schools of thought into their own nourishment.

It can be said that Confucianism after 2000 and Confucianism now are completely two different doctrines.

In general, there are many advantages to respecting Confucianism alone, but there are also many disadvantages.

At this moment, the decision of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did not affect the trend of Confucianism becoming the mainstream culture in later generations. Similarly, it did not hinder the development of the Hundred Schools of Theory.

It is foreseeable that China in the future will be even more brilliant culturally.

"I am afraid that the ministers in the court will criticize my decision to 'empower a hundred schools of thought and put Confucianism and Legalism first'. In fact, people from hundreds of schools of thought may even criticize each other because of their differences. Therefore, I plan to let the divine bird come forward. , decided on this move to eliminate the controversy in the world!"

"Can!"

Bai Zhi nodded without any hesitation.

Hearing the divine bird's hearty agreement, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che also smiled. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che asked for advice on some other things, and then asked: "I dare to ask the divine bird, I wonder where Zhang Qian and Zhang Aiqing have arrived at this time. ?”

"Zhang Qian……"

Bai Zhi thought for a while and then said: "After Zhang Qian left the Han border, he was captured by the Huns. At this time, he has reached the Huns' den!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was shocked. He beat his chest and feet at the same time, showing a look of shame, "It's all my fault. I never thought that Zhang Aiqing would be killed by the Huns..."

Seeing Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che's reaction, Bai Zhi couldn't help but said: "Emperor, don't worry. Although Zhang Qian was captured by the Huns and even arrived at the court of the Huns, he is not as fragile as you think, Emperor."

"Why?"

After hearing Bai Zhi's explanation, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che stopped regretting and blaming himself.

After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che admired Zhang Qian's talents very much. When the divine bird first appeared, he had the idea of ​​recalling Zhang Qian and sending someone else as an envoy to the Western Regions.

However, Bai Zhi didn't say much, he simply said:
"Zhang Qian is trapped in the court of the Huns, and his life is not in danger. However, I am afraid that his mission will be delayed for a long time. Moreover, Zhang Qian has a plan against the Huns, and the three families may be divided into Jin!"

"Three families are promoted!!!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't know exactly what Zhang Qian did, but the divine bird said so, how could he still not believe it?

Although he was curious, the divine bird didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions.

However, I also thought that Zhang Qian was trapped in the court of the Huns. According to what the divine bird said, he might be delayed for a long time. If so, it might affect his big plan.

I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until Zhang Qian returns.

……

The next day.

As the sun rises, the bright and warm sunshine shines on this huge city. The palaces are row upon row. There are only a few pedestrians on the wide streets. The sound of shouts and shouts gradually wakes up this huge city.

Chang'an City.

The common people continued their daily lives, and the dignitaries continued to enjoy their glory and wealth. However, at this moment, soldiers suddenly cleared the way on the main road in the city.

At the same time, there was noise coming from the direction of the imperial city, and the emperor's guard of honor was slowly approaching.

"It's Your Majesty! Your Majesty is going out!"

"Where do you plan to go, Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty's achievements should be praised!"

"I won't go to Taixue today because I want to defeat Your Majesty!"

"..."

On the increasingly noisy streets, there were many people wearing scholar's costumes. This was all because the emperor established the Imperial College, and scholars from all counties in the world rushed to Chang'an City to enter the Imperial College.

At this moment, I happened to meet the emperor traveling.

The emperor's chariot was luxurious and majestic, the chariot was huge, with attendants and maids accompanying him, and soldiers in mighty armor leading the way.

The flags are flying, the spears are like a forest!
At this time, someone discovered the direction where the emperor's ceremonial frame was going.

"The Emperor...the Emperor is going to Imperial College!"

"Hurry to the Imperial Academy, maybe I can meet His Majesty!"

"Let it be, let it be..."

"..."

Suddenly, the crowd surged, and people dressed in scholarly attire rushed to Taixue one after another to occupy the best position first.

Those who reacted slowly immediately beat their chests and felt regretful, and then ran away, chasing after the others.

The emperor established the Imperial Academy for the sake of the world's scholars. How could such a move be unpopular with scholars? !

Therefore, scholars respected the emperor and were proud to meet him!

In front of the magnificent palace, on the majestic gate tower, there is a plaque with the word "Tai Xue" written on it.

People were already standing on both sides of the road, waiting eagerly for the emperor's arrival.

Gradually, the emperor's chariot appeared in front of them, solemn and majestic, and then the chariot stopped steadily in front of Taixue.

Then he saw the emperor wearing a crown and walking out of his chariot.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Scholars all over the world saluted and bowed sincerely.

"waived!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked around. The surrounding streets and the attic in the distance were all filled with people, looking at him with bright eyes.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che also understood that he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He was in the deep palace all year round and was rarely seen. At this moment, they did not raise their heads to watch carefully and remember his appearance in their hearts.

Ministers must be treated with the dignity of the emperor, especially during court meetings and other important occasions. Ministers must not look directly at the emperor.

But at this moment, the people around him are the world's scholars and common people. Therefore, the emperor wants to enjoy the happiness with the people, so how can he stop talking about these red tapes!

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, smiled and looked around, then slowly walked into Taixue surrounded by soldiers.

However, he didn't really walk in, he just took a few steps closer, then stood still, looked up at the Taixue plaque,
Then he turned around and faced the people behind him, and said with a solemn expression: "The importance of Taixue lies in the essence of Chinese classics, which should be placed in Taixue so that everyone in the world can learn from it!"

"Even the legendary bird praises it!"

After hearing the words of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and hearing the word "sacred bird" in the words, everyone around them showed surprise on their faces.

Because they heard the magical bird!

After all, there were rumors in Chang'an City that the divine bird appeared again, and it has existed since the pre-Qin period.

In the pre-Qin period, the sacred bird returned to the Qin State. Therefore, the Qin State prospered and the world was unified.

Now, the divine bird appears again, and he is still the big man he is today. What does this mean? !

It shows that when the sacred bird returns to the Han Dynasty, the great Han Dynasty will be in high demand!
However, what was said in Chang'an City a few days ago was just rumors. As for the divine bird, no one has seen it!
Therefore, this makes ordinary people wonder, does the divine bird... really exist?

At this time, the emperor in front of him actually admitted the existence of the divine bird.

Therefore, this surprised them, and they were even filled with expectations, hoping that the emperor could summon the divine bird and let them see the divine bird!
Under their eager gazes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly said again: "The divine bird appears in the Han Dynasty. The destiny of the Han Dynasty belongs to the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty deserves to be in luck!"

"Therefore, at this time...please invite the divine bird to come!"

Having said this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che actually bowed slightly under the gaze of everyone, as if making way for others.

Just when the surrounding scholars, common people, and some wealthy officials and dignitaries looked puzzled, a dazzling white glow suddenly bloomed in the void where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was standing just now.

Even for a moment, the light was stronger than the sun in the sky, and the sun's light was eclipsed by the current divine light!

Everyone around had a look of shock on their faces, and then, a figure suddenly appeared!
It's Bai Zhi!

A pure white figure appeared in the void, its snow-white feathers were like white clouds in the sky, pure and flawless.

Two long tail feathers hang down like weeping willows, emitting a faint divine light.

"God bird!"

"It's a divine bird!"

At this time, the people around finally saw the figure in the light clearly. It turned out to be the magical bird they had always missed!

Just like that, he suddenly appeared in front of them!
"It turns out that the divine bird actually exists!" "How can the events and legends of the Pre-Qin Dynasty be groundless!"

"The divine bird appears on the big man, and the big man should be happy!"

"The emperor is a wise king, and a divine bird has come to this world. He should have great achievements!"

"..."

For a moment, the scene was filled with noise, chaos, and hustle and bustle!
Even the people behind could not help but push forward, hoping to get closer and get closer to the divine bird!
When the soldiers guarding Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saw this, their faces immediately became solemn. They held axes and axes and wore golden armor, like heavenly soldiers. They immediately took a step forward and shouted in unison: "Silence! Silence! Silence!"

After three loud shouts, the chaotic scene suddenly calmed down again. The people who were stunned by the divine bird regained their clarity and quickly became respectful again.

Bai Zhi watched all this quietly, his appearance was just to cooperate with Han Wu Emperor Liu Che's acting.

It doesn't have any impact on myself. Even if it does, what harm can it bring?

I'm afraid nothing can hurt me anymore!
Besides, helping Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was also beneficial.

Conducive to the development of Chinese civilization!
Let the Chinese nation be more united.

Bai Zhi thought this in his heart, then slowly flapped his wings, landed on the majestic gate tower of Taixue, and then looked down quietly.

At this time, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, once again stood in his original position, looked around, filled with the aura of the king, and said loudly: "The divine bird has come, the Imperial Academy is opening today, I hope that the scholars from all over the world will loudly study the words of hundreds of schools of thought, and be loyal to Big man, loyal to China!"

"Here!"

Hearing this, everyone responded respectfully in unison.

……

Taixue is not a small academy. Perhaps because of the appearance of Bai Zhi, Taixue at this time is a group of palaces. The words of hundreds of schools of thought are placed in different palaces for different people to go to. Check.

At the same time, there are a large number of places for scholars to study and rest, which is no longer comparable to the Imperial College in history!
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, stood on a tall pavilion among the Taixue palace complex. Standing on the pavilion, he could overlook the entire Taixue.

Below, I saw palaces dotted in the green dense forest, and among the dense forests and palaces, there were scholars as big as ants moving slowly.

The great Han scholars were very eager to learn!
In this way, the talents of the Han Dynasty will continue to flow, and the country of the Han Dynasty will become more prosperous and stronger!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked at it for a while, then turned to look at the divine bird on the side, with a grateful expression on his face, and said: "Thank you so much for your help, divine bird!"

"Ok!"

Bai Zhi nodded, after all, it was a simple task.

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this time did not depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. Instead, he promoted all schools of thought and put Confucianism and Legalism first. It is unknown what impact it would have on future generations.

But one thing is certain that it will not change, and that is the impact on the areas around Dahan.

In fact, the impact on the surrounding areas will be greater than before in history!
Bai Zhi was silent for a moment, then thought of something further away.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did not disturb him and just stood there and waited quietly.

After a while, I heard the voice of the divine bird ringing again, "It's time for me to leave..."

"Are you going..."

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had a look of disappointment on his face, but he did not hold back. He just said: "I hope the divine bird will come often! I have many questions to ask the divine bird..."

"Ok!"

Bai Zhi nodded and immediately disappeared from the pavilion.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looked at the place where the sacred bird disappeared and was in a daze.

…………

Hun court.

Dragon City.

The relationship between Zhang Qian and Er Ti has dropped to the "freezing point", at least, in the eyes of outsiders, it has dropped to the freezing point!
Zhang Qian watched Er Ti surrounded by the Huns, holding the woman from the Western Regions in his arms, laughing wantonly by the campfire. From time to time, the Huns around him also burst into laughter.

Obviously, Erti was already familiar with the Huns and gained their trust.

"Life at this time is so colorful. When I was in Han Dynasty, it was simply not a life that a human being could live!"

Erti ate a lot of meat, his mouth was full of oil, and then he talked to the Huns around him.In the past two years, the two of them had already learned the Hun dialect.

"Be free on the grassland and do whatever you want!"

Erti said this, and at the same time, he kissed the woman from the Western Region in his arms fiercely.

This made the Huns on the side laugh.

Erti was very skilled in martial arts, and he usually followed them on horseback galloping on the grassland, or competed on the grassland, but there were not many people who could defeat him.

This also made the Huns respect Erti even more.

In just two years, it has gained a certain number of followers.

"Er Ti, I heard that the king plans to give you the status of a Huns and let you lead troops to attack the Han!"

A Huns suddenly said.

"Attack the big man?"

Hearing this, Erti shook his head under the vigilant eyes of the Huns and said, "I can't attack the big Han!"

"In the hearts of the Han people, I have not yet rebelled. If I wait quietly for the future, I am afraid that I will be able to seize more wealth from the Han people!"

"More wealth?"

Erti's words made all the Huns present look at each other, but those who were interested secretly remembered it in their hearts, hoping to tell the military minister Shanyu later.

On the other side, Zhang Qian was drinking alone, with no one beside him.

During the two years in the Xiongnu royal court, some Huns also approached him for martial arts competitions. Although he did not fight often, when he did, he showed more powerful martial arts.

This made Shan Yu, the military minister, more determined to recruit and surrender Zhang Qian.

However, Zhang Qian never surrendered.

This is in sharp contrast to Erti who surrendered to the Xiongnu, and also made Erti more valued by the military minister Shanyu.

Correspondingly, the military minister Shanyu also preferred to use tough methods against Zhang Qian.

Just a few days ago, the military minister Shanyu forced him to find a Hun wife.

Forcing the two to get married and have a bridal chamber.

As for Zhang Qian's Hun wife, she is also quite delicate, preferring Han aesthetics, and her status is just that of an ordinary herdsman.

But Zhang Qian knew that the military minister Shanyu did this just to make him completely become a Huns!

Even so, Zhang Qian would rather die than obey.

……

The next day.

Erti had just quietly returned from Zhang Qian's tent when a Hun soldier came in and said that Shanyu, the military minister, had summoned him.

Erti was shocked, but there was no change on his face. He just nodded slightly, and then followed the Huns soldiers to the palace where the military minister Shanyu was.

Compared with two years ago, the military minister Shanyu at this time was still burly. On the side, Yizhike saw Erti coming in and immediately smiled.

"Erti, why are you here? Let's go out and have a good competition later. I'll treat you to a roasted whole lamb!"

The relationship between Yi Zhike and Er Ti has improved, no, it should be exactly the opposite.

From being against each other before, to now being brothers.

Of course, Erti's proactive management is indispensable for this.

"it is good!"

Erti, who had just come in, heard this and immediately nodded with a smile, "However, if you lose, you must introduce your wife's sister to me!"

Erti vividly demonstrated the nature of a lustful person.

"Hahaha, good!"

Yi Zhike didn't take it seriously, but instead cheered loudly.

"Okay, I'm going to talk to Erti about business!"

At this time, Shanyu, the military minister above, spoke, then looked at Erti below, and asked: "Your brother has always been unwilling to surrender to the Huns. I wonder if you, as a younger brother, can you make him surrender?"

Hearing the words of the military minister Shanyu, it seemed that it was because he heard his brother, Erti immediately showed a look of disgust on his face, "This stubborn person, he is not worthy of being my brother!"

"He and I were just neighbors when we were young, not brothers!"

Erti said angrily, and then added: "He is a stubborn and stubborn person. I am afraid he will not surrender. Just kill him!"

Erti had already grasped the admiration and respect that the military minister Shanyu had for Zhang Qian, so he said this.

Sure enough, after hearing Er Ti's "angry" words, the military minister Shan Yu smiled on his face, but shook his head and said: "It would be too cheap to kill him directly. Since he is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, the most important thing is, It is to fulfill the orders of the Han Emperor..."
