The emperor's relatives came to mourn, Zhou Jing, named Zhongxi, was born in Shu County, Lujiang County, Yangzhou. He was the grandson of Zhou Rong, the prefect of Shanyang, and the son of Shangshulang Zhou Xing. He was a subordinate of Liang Ji, the general at first. He moved to Yuzhou to be the governor, and then became the prefect of Hanoi. Liang Ji was executed.
Later, he was dismissed from office and imprisoned because of the old officials of Liang and Ji. Later, he was recruited into the dynasty in the name of virtuous people and moved to be a general, a master craftsman, a minister, and a minister. He once petitioned with Yang Bing to remove more than 50 corrupt officials.
Posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Anyang Township.
The eldest son Chong succeeded his father as Marquis of Anyang Township and was appointed as the Prime Minister of Ganling. Zhong Zhong was appointed as the Secretary of Lu, Cong Zishang was appointed as the Prefect of Danyang, and Cong Ziyi was appointed as the Luoyang Order.
However, Congzi Zhou Yi attracted the most attention from the emperor not because of his talent, but because he would have a son named Yu.
At the end of October, when Yang Qiu set out angrily from the East China Sea towards Luoyang, a large group of people drove towards Linjing, Anding. There was a thief problem in Anding, and Qiang thieves often blocked the road, but this group of people
, the carriage was full of generous gifts. Naturally, as soon as it was close to Anding, it was noticed by several thieves on the road, and they came to attack in the middle of the night.
However, they died extremely tragically.
And before they died, they didn't understand why they were escorted by three or four troops of the Northern Army in a mere three or four vehicles.
When the carriage entered Linjing, the county magistrate and local officials personally greeted them. A young man dismounted and greeted the officials one by one. He was not arrogant because of his low official rank. The young man leaned over and said: "
I am Lu Zhi, who is appointed as the captain of the Northern Army Shesheng. I have met you all!" Those officials were a little surprised. The captain of the Northern Army was actually assigned as an angel. How much this king's talisman is loved by your majesty!
Tired from the journey, Lu Zhi rested here for a day.
The next day, he led everyone to Wang Fu's residence. Everyone stopped at the simple courtyard gate. Lu Zhi straightened his clothes and walked solemnly towards the inside. He saw Wang Fu and he were feeding chickens in the courtyard.
, squatting on the ground, excitedly, when he saw Lu Zhi walking in, Wang Fu was startled, stood up, and Lu Zhi paid homage: "Lu Zhi, the commander of the Northern Army Sheng Sheng Colonel, has met Wang Jun!"
Captain of the Northern Army? No matter how much the Emperor hates my book, he shouldn’t have sent a Lieutenant of the Northern Army to arrest him!!
However, seeing that this man was so respectful to him, Wang Fu was not sure. He did not think that the emperor could understand the gist of his book. He ordered the emperors without authorization, and criticized the current families, officials, and government. In short,
Han law did not allow for unauthorized discussion, but he discussed it all. Moreover, he did not discuss it secretly, but directly wrote thirty-six strategies and handed them to the emperor.
Wang Fu sighed in his heart: Wang Qianfu, Wang Qianfu, I can't bear it anymore, so I handed the book over. Now that's it, a battalion of the Northern Army will come to capture you!
Lu Zhi lowered his head and waited for a moment, but did not wait for Wang Fu to return the gift. He did not take it seriously. If this person could be valued by the emperor, he must be a wise man in the world. It is normal for wise men to be a little arrogant. He had no choice but to use another identity and said:
"I am a disciple of Manan County." As a great Confucian, Ma Rong had almost become the greatest Confucian scholar at that time.
Even He Xiu admired him and said that his knowledge was far inferior to that of Manan County.
In front of the scholars, as long as he reveals his identity, he will be unfavorable!
Wang Fu stayed for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."
Lu Zhi was dumbfounded. After a moment, he said: "The emperor read the eloquent treatises on kings and kings day and night. He was extremely happy and sent me as an angel to conquer the kings!" Wang Fu did not appreciate Ma Rong. He believed that learning to govern the world would not be enough. If you only have knowledge but cannot change the evil tendencies of the world, you are in vain to be a great Confucian!
Because of these words, he was beaten hard by Ma Rong's supporters in the land of Kansai.
What's funny is that Ma Rong praised him very much and often said that I have three friends. Among them, Wang Jun is the youngest and the most talented. His three friends are Zhang Heng, He Xiu and Wang Fu, who can be as famous as these people. , Wang Fu was deeply ashamed.
But when he heard that the emperor particularly appreciated his remarks, Wang Fu couldn't believe it. He was from a poor family background and had no one close to him. Moreover, he often made shocking remarks and did not want to associate with fame. , so he cannot be recommended. When he was young, he traveled around to study, trying to make others accept his intellectual ideas, but he was often kicked out because of his sharp words.
He thought about many possibilities. Maybe the emperor would be furious and order his arrest. He also thought that the emperor would feel contempt and never bother him again. Even if the Northern Military Colonel appeared in front of him so respectfully today, he thought that The emperor sent a large camp of the Northern Army to arrest him. He was still thinking about why the emperor was so cruel. He was an old scholar and could only watch a few soldiers, so why did he send the Northern Army???
However, he never expected that the emperor would appreciate him.
The emperor appreciates me. There are still people in this world who know my talent, Wang Qianfu!
Wang Fu's eyes became misty, and he quickly wiped them away, nodded extremely excitedly, and asked with a smile: "What reward will you get from that day?"
Lu Zhi: "..."
.....................
Wang Fu sat on the carriage, and Lu Zhi looked at him with a strange look. Wang Fu didn't know that Lu Zhi had begun to doubt the emperor's reputation for knowing people and making good use of them.
Wang Fu also knew that Lu Zhi was confused about him, but he didn't care. He needed to know the emperor's attitude. From the emperor's generous reward, he could know a lot of things. If the emperor just wanted a thousand pieces of gold and horse bones, , in order to show off his love for talented people, he deliberately conquered himself. The rewards must be gold and jade, and the emperor also rewarded many properties.
However, among the generous rewards, there were also some ancient books hidden in the palace. Many of the stories in them were similar to those of Wang Fu. Wang Fu was invited to look at them. In addition, the emperor also personally edited a copy of the book and wrote down many of his doubts and questions. Seeing this, Wang Fu was satisfied with the importance he attached to Wang Fu. The Holy One really valued him the most, and he was worthy of being the Holy One respected by the world. Before, some villagers compared him to Xiaowen, but he still had a lot of disdain.
It seems that what he said is true. He is worthy of being a saint if he can discover his own talents!
He happily held the emperor's personal letter, read it over and over again, and couldn't help but laugh. Lu Zhi silently took a few steps away from him. Wang Fu shook his head and sighed: If he had known that he would be a wise king. , why should I wait until today? I should have handed this book to the emperor as early as the reign of Emperor Xiaoheng!
After traveling for a few days, Wang Fu arrived in Luoyang and was directly greeted by the guards who had been waiting for a long time. He entered the Weiyang Palace and made a jade slip for him at the palace gate. This was the voucher for entering and exiting the palace. Under the leadership of the gate, he was taken to the Houde Hall. Before Wang Fu arrived, he saw the emperor walking out of the palace in a hurry. This was even a bit rude. When he saw Wang Fu, he clapped his hands and laughed excitedly. !
"My meeting with the king! It's like Taizu meeting Zhang Liang!"
Wang Fu was very moved. Even though he knew in his heart that the emperor's actions were more of a deliberate show to express his respect for himself, he was still very touched. In so many years, no one had ever valued him so much, and it was that Ma Rong.
The same is true. If you compare yourself with He Xiu and Zhang Heng, huh, are they worthy?
