Volume 1: Ling Yuan's Old Stories, New Strategies, Chapter 50 Abandoning Sons and Enmity, Great Plague and Disaster (Autobiography) Part 1
About life experience!
My surname is Fu Mingwen and my courtesy name is Yonggu. I was born in 332 AD. Well, I should be nine years old this year.
Can you be specific?
My family lives in Daqin, and my family has the most majestic and luxurious palace in Daqin. My father's name is Fu Yi. He controls an extremely powerful empire. The people and ministers all praise him for his good governance, skill in governing people, and extraordinary skills. He is praised by the grassland of Daqin.
The people praised it as 'the eagle given by God'.
My mother's name is Zhou Liangren. She was born in a poor family and grew up in the city. Apart from her natural beauty, she has no background to speak of.
I am the fourth eldest child in my family. My three brothers are all ruthless characters who are capable of both literary and martial arts. My eldest brother is known as the ‘No. 1 martial artist in the Qin Dynasty’ and is a young hero.
As for me, I don’t have much ability, but my master said that when I was born, my salary palace was filled with green clouds, fairy music was heard everywhere, unicorns walked through the clouds, and purple light opened the gate of heaven.
Xu Tong, the official under the great minister's command, once said: This is a sign of destiny.
I was born with a birthmark in the shape of a tiger's claw on the right side of my forehead. My father said that like Cao Chong, the son of Cao Mengde in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, I was gifted with extraordinary talents and was a treasure given to the Qin Dynasty by God. In our generation, there are
I hope to lead the great Qin warriors to ride on the Yellow River and drink from the Huaihe River.
Because of this birthmark and vision, I have been involved in endless troubles and fights since I was born.
The royal family of the Qin Dynasty has always fought cruelly. On the premise of not affecting the government or threatening the imperial power, the emperor even admired the wolfish nature to seize power. From the time we were born, our four brothers were destined that only one of them would survive!
And the one who survives in the world safely in the end can carry the royal treasure, the Kulang Sword, and be crowned king, enjoy the worship of thousands of people, and have overwhelming power over the world.
I don't want to be rich and powerful, but if I want to live to death, I can only kill my three brothers. This is what I have understood since I was five years old!
Three months ago, it was mid-autumn. My mother and two hundred Tiger Guards took me back to my hometown to worship my ancestors. As we walked deep into the dense forest, killers swarmed in. My mother was hacked to death with random knives. All the Tiger Guards accompanying me were killed. The situation on the scene was...
Chaos.
The accompanying master and wet nurse escorted me all the way south. We hid in Tibet and finally reached the territory of the Han Dynasty.
At first, we committed ourselves to the border between Qin and Han, but Huxiao County and Sunjiang County in Bozhou, which are close to Da Qin, were still harassed by assassins sent by several brothers. We not only had to hide our names incognito to avoid the detection of the Han army, but also had to deal with master assassins, and we were in danger several times.
We encountered an unexpected incident and had no choice but to continue our march south until we arrived at Zhangwucheng in Zhangwu County. Relying on the sudden plague in Zhangwu County, we concealed ourselves in the deep streets and alleys of Zhangwucheng, which was considered as a standstill.
Steady footing.
My mentor is named Jia Zhenzhen. When I was four years old, my mother took me to Zangfeng Mountain, the holy land of the Yin and Yang family in Daqin, to seek it. He is a master of attaining the Tao and entering the country, and he is also one of the people I rely on and trust the most.
Under the careful education of my master, I thought that I knew etiquette at the age of six, I was familiar with poetry at the age of seven, and I knew tactics at the age of eight. I had just touched the threshold of the Yin Yang family to observe the sky and observe the general trend, but I did not expect this disaster.
My nanny is named Huan Yue. She is a maid who has been with my mother for more than 20 years. She has no talents. In the whirlpool of complicated worries in the court, she is not only responsible for my food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also takes care of all my happiness.
Under the operation of the master, the three of us committed ourselves to a house where people died due to the great plague. The death of my mother made me deeply sad. I had no intention of fighting in the temple, but I had to seek an explanation for my mother's death. I originally planned to
Please master, please take me back to Daqin by road, thinking of seeking justice from my father in person.
The master knows that I understand me, and he told me: The Han Dynasty talks about benevolence and righteousness, and the Qin Dynasty talks about bravery and martial arts, but the road is simple, and different roads lead to the same destination. Everything, in the final analysis, is inseparable from the word strength. The fourth prince is now alone, even if he can be safe
Standing in front of His Majesty with nothing to do, and no right to speak at all. If you don't have the strength, what's the point of going back?
At the same time, the master asked me to think about it for a few more days and think about what I want in this life.
I remember that day, my master said to me sincerely, "Don't regret it if you make a choice. Before you make a choice, there is still room for maneuver in everything in life."
I know that the Qin Dynasty was extremely dangerous before I left. Even if I knew who the enemy was, whether I could kill him or not was another question.
In the past few days, I watched the master and nurse, who had gray hair, busy around me. After some hesitation, I decided to put down my hatred of killing my mother and start from scratch.
A peaceful place to live in seclusion until old age.
The city was closed due to the great plague, making it impossible to enter or exit. The master, his son and his wife, had committed themselves to the imperial territory. It was not easy to force open the city gate and take us southward, so we had to temporarily live in Zhangwu County.
The nanny was weaving and selling cloth shoes at the market, and the master disguised himself and went to the county magistrate's house to ask for an errand. The two of them earned some loose money, and their lives were barely getting by.
My master always taught me: when the officials get their people, the people will take care of them.
Since the great plague, I have observed that Fan Tingnan, the governor of Zhangwu County, is pretty good. He opens warehouses to release grain, and storing grain is not hoarding grain. The market operates in an orderly manner, which shows that Fan Tingnan manages politics well; he distributes money according to people.
The fact that every household is in place shows that Fan Tingnan is meticulous; when seeking help, the government and the people work together, which shows that Fan Tingnan is deeply popular.
Although the great plague has not improved, it seems that the officials of the Han Dynasty are not as chaotic and incompetent in governance as my father said. There are still some capable people in office.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, the plague is still there, and the Xin Chou Year of the Ox has arrived.
On the first day of the new year, the wet nurse used mugwort leaves to incense and placed them in the courtyard to ward off evil spirits. She also cooked four side dishes. The chef wrote a Spring Festival couplet in cursive script and posted it on the front door with the title: 'To nourish the mountains and the sea with the subtle dust and mist'
, “Use the last light of fireflies and candles to brighten the sun and the moon”, and horizontally comment on “Don’t forget your original intention”.
After looking at the couplet, I sighed softly. This was the master encouraging me not to be discouraged and to cheer up.
There was no wine during the plague, and all the wine in Zhangwu City was used for disinfection. The three of us, no distinction between master and servant, sat around the Kang and lit a candle. The light and firewood echoed each other.
, there is a strong warmth in the house.
I got drunk without drinking. That day, my master's love and my nanny's love soothed my heart full of pain and indifferenced my intense sorrow.
After tea and dinner, the wet nurse began to clean up the mess and wash the pots and dishes. The master and I brewed a cup of wild tea and started drinking together.
The palace walls are deep. In the past, during the Chinese New Year in Tianlang City, there were always fireworks and loud noises. Every time I climbed up to a high place and saw the lights of thousands of houses, I always felt that there was something missing in the Tianlang Palace. Until today, I finally understood
, the New Year is supposed to be a time for family reunion and long-term love, but in the royal family, the word love is the least talked about.
In such a warm environment, the tea is not intoxicating, but I am intoxicated.
The master turned slightly red, took a sip of tea, and asked me half-heartedly, "Yonggu, what do you think of the Zhangwu plague?"
Without thinking, I replied neatly, "As the saying goes, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and it is the foundation of peace. County Governor Fan Tingnan handles things in an orderly and orderly manner, and is loved by the Han people. Judging from his actions, Fan Tingnan
It’s not an exaggeration to think that he can be an official and, given time, grow into a powerful city of the country!”
After I answered truthfully, the master laughed and said, "Boys can be taught, they can be taught!"
