Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 567 Youth (Ask for a monthly pass!)
When Tian Fu returned to his residence, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and cursed as soon as he entered the door.

"What on earth does this old man want to do? It's not my responsibility that he can't be a prime minister. Why should he target me in everything?"

The waiters were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe out, and they all gave way.When Tian Fu saw this, he became even angrier. He raised his hand at the nearest child and slapped it. With a crisp "slap", the child was slapped and turned in a circle. His eyes were spinning, but he didn't dare to cry out, so he covered his face, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"A bunch of trash!" Tian Fu kicked the child to the ground, turned around and entered the room.The child fell to the ground clutching his chest, his face gradually turning purple, when the people next to him saw him, they quickly picked him up and went to see a doctor.

Tian Fu sat in the hall, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.Although he hadn't inquired about it yet, he was sure that Dou Ying was behind the scenes.It's not that the emperor doesn't know, but he is happy to see it succeed.Using Dou Ying to stimulate him, and using him to suppress Dou Ying are just common methods of Emperor Art.

However, Dou Ying's move was too ruthless.Just when the emperor was about to send troops to Hexi and was in urgent need of troops, he sent the children of the Dou family to join the army. Even if the emperor doubted his intentions, he would not refuse.In order to prevent the Dou family from re-emerging, the emperor asked him to mobilize Prince Tian's younger brother to join the army and downplay the possible influence of the Dou family. Isn't this embarrassing him?

The Tian family and the Wang family are upstarts, how can they be compared with the Dou family that has been in business for decades.If nothing else, just look at the leaders of both sides.When Dou Ying was a general, he was just a doctor and could only run errands in front of Dou Ying.Let him fight Dou Ying, how can he have that strength.

However, the emperor opened his mouth, and he couldn't refuse.How to arrange for the children of the Tian family to join the army made him difficult.

The battlefield is dangerous, what if you die in battle?Although he has never fought a battle, he can also see that there is actually no certainty of winning this battle.Cao Shi's last expedition was remarkable, but it doesn't mean he will win this time.Commanding 5000 people and commanding 5 people are completely two concepts.

Tian Fu was full of worries and sighed.

Hearing the news by borrowing blessings, he rushed over. Seeing Tian Fu's appearance, he hurried forward to greet him.Tian Fu waved his hand, motioned to take his seat by chance, and then explained the reason of the incident.After listening to the blessing, he stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, this matter... I'm afraid we can't refuse it directly. The Son of Heaven is about to deploy troops, and we need more troops, and we need to dispel the rumors that Liang Xiao was exempted. Even if we suspect Wei Qihou's intentions, it's impossible to tell the truth directly."

Tian Fu smiled wryly.He had already thought of this point, so he didn't need to use blessings to remind him.

"Wei Qihou's move is probably just the beginning, and it is by no means limited to this." Jufu continued: "The struggle in the outer dynasty is inseparable from the palace. If Cao Shi and Wei Qing represent the power of Princess Pingyang, Wei Qihou It represents the power of the queen, and the prince represents the power of the queen mother. The emperor wants to balance the three parties, and the prince must not be careless. It has always been difficult to get along between the queen mother and the queen, and it has always been like this, probably No exception."

Tian Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he sat up straight suddenly.At that moment, he clearly heard a soft "click" on his neck, and suddenly felt unable to move.He rested his head on his hands, and cried out alas.

"Your Majesty?" Jue Fu was taken aback, and hurried over to help Tian Fu.Tian Fu's face turned pale from the pain, bead-sized beads of sweat gushed out, and soon soaked the hem of his clothes.Seeing this, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly sent someone to call the doctor.

The doctor came a little slowly, panting and flushed.Tian Fu was dying of pain.Seeing this, the doctor quickly put down the medicine box, stepped forward to take Tian Fu, asked carefully about the process, and touched Tian Fu's neck with his hand. When he touched Tian Fu, Tian Fu screamed in pain.Seeing this, the medical craftsman showed a look of perplexity on his face, carefully put down the Tian Fu, then stepped aside, bowed and said nothing.

"what happened?"

"Prime Minister, this is a bone injury. I... I have limited medical skills, so I don't dare to treat it. If I miss it, the Prime Minister may not be able to stand up from now on."

Jufu's face twitched for a moment. "Then... what should I do then?"

"Let him lie down and rest, slowly recover, maybe there is still some chance."

Taking advantage of the blessing to look at Tian Fu, who is almost out of breath, he hesitates.Lie down and rest?He suspected that if he died, Tian Fu would die.He looked at Tian Fu, then at the doctor, not knowing what to say for a while.

"There is another way." The craftsman carefully put Tian Fu down, let him lie on the seat, and then said: "Please ask the imperial physicians in the palace to treat them. They are very skilled in medicine, maybe there is a way."

Blessed suddenly realized.That's right, if you go to the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Office for treatment, their skills must be much better than that of the prime minister's own medical craftsmen.He didn't dare to neglect, ordered people to take care of Tian Fu, and rushed to Ganquan Palace by himself to report to the emperor.

The emperor was shocked when he learned that Tian Fu had suddenly fallen ill, and quickly sent the imperial physician Cheng to treat him.After the imperial physician inspected it, he straightened Tian Fu's bones, and Tian Fu's neck finally returned to normal.However, the delay was too long, and Tian Fu left obvious sequelae. His neck was tilted to the left at an obvious angle. With his ugly face, he really didn't have the dignity of a prime minister.

After hearing the report from the Imperial Physician, the emperor was silent for a long time and shook his head.He sent someone to summon Han Anguo, the official censor, and asked him to temporarily take pictures of the prime minister's affairs, and then asked Tian Fu to let him rest in peace and not worry about the government.

When Tian Fu received the news, his eyes went dark, and he almost passed out.

-

Shiqu Pavilion.

Dong Zhongshu put down the pen in his hand, raised his hand, and gently squeezed the root of the mountain. The slight swelling pain made his mind clear a lot.For more than ten days in a row, he was looking through old files and checking information, which made him extremely tired and almost unable to hold on.

Unlike his previous studies, which mostly relied on comprehension, this research dealt with a large number of figures. He first had to extract each piece of information, compare and proofread it, and keep the truth from the false before he could proceed to the next step.This work is not difficult, but it is very complicated. The series of numbers made him dizzy.

But he couldn't help it.Dou Ying entrusted him with the job and won a reward of [-] gold for him.To him, three hundred gold was a huge sum of money.It should be known that all his family properties add up to only ten gold.Three hundred gold is enough for him to spend the rest of his life without having to worry about making a living.

In addition, Dou Ying also helped him book a lecture seat at Princess Guantao's Mansion.Once his results come out, they will be presented as a major topic in the academic lectures held by Princess Guantao.In Dou Ying's words, this time, Dong Zhongshu wants to prove to the world that Confucianists are not just empty talkers, they can also be useful to the world and benefit the people's livelihood.

For this belief, Dong Zhongshu spent almost all his time in Shiqu Pavilion.

After all, he is not young, and reading at his desk for a long time made his back ache, and his eyes began to blur, often blurred.He had to stop every once in a while to rest and gather his mind.

Dong Zhongshu put down his hands, only to find a small figure in front of him.He froze for a moment, squinted his eyes, and looked around for a while.

"You are……"

Holding the book in his arms, Sima Qian bowed to salute, and reported his hometown and name.Dong Zhongshu rubbed his temples and thought for a while, and finally remembered the name.He had known for a long time that Sima Tan had a son who was a man in the palace, but he had never seen him.Seeing the polite and polite Sima Qian at this moment, he immediately liked him.During this period of time, Sima Tan was somewhat demonic and unkempt, and Dong Zhongshu subconsciously thought that Sima Qian should be like that, but he didn't expect to see a young man with neat clothes and a handsome appearance.

"It turned out to be Tai Shigong's beloved son." Dong Zhongshu said gently: "You are studying here, what kind of book are you reading?"

"It's "The Classic of Mountains and Seas." Sima Qian was a little nervous, his face flushed slightly.Although he had been in the palace for a long time, Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion were as familiar as home, but standing in front of the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu, he was both excited and uneasy, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

""The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?" Dong Zhongshu frowned slightly. "You are still young, you should read some sage classics, how can you read these strange books?"

Sima Qian pursed his lips, forced a few laughs, and didn't dare to speak, but hugged the book in his arms even tighter.

When Dong Zhongshu saw it, he also found it interesting, so he slowed down his tone and waved. "Come on, tell me what you've seen."

Sima Qian went to the case, knelt down on the mat, and spread out the book in his hand.Dong Zhongshu just glanced at it, and couldn't help taking a breath in surprise.The book in Sima Qian's hand was not a common silk book, but re-copied on new paper. Although the handwriting on it was a little immature, it was very neat, and it should have been written by Sima Qian himself.

"Why do you have new paper?" Dong Zhongshu was very surprised.He has seen new paper, but has not had it.Dou Ying said that he had already sent someone to Huainan to purchase, but he hadn't got it yet, so Dong Zhongshu could only write it on the bamboo slips.In order to change a number, Dong Zhongshu often has to spend a lot of trouble.

"It's from the champion." Sima Qian was a little proud.

"Champion Hou Liangxiao? Do you know him?" Dong Zhongshu slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.Sima Qian was changed from Tong Meng to Sima Qian because Sima Tan discovered a new astrology. The formula that Sima Tan was studying recently was what Liang Xiao asked Mei Gao to bring to Sima Tan. Of course, Liang Xiao knew Sima Qian.

"I have met Champion Hou several times. I also asked him about the "Shan Hai Jing Tu"."

Dong Zhongshu laughed, with some teasing. "Yes, he also likes these unrefined learnings."

Sima Qian was a little unhappy and raised his voice. "Why do you say that, master?"

Dong Zhongshu was so childish that he deliberately quarreled with Sima Qian. "Did I said wrong thing?"

"Uh, I don't dare to say that the Master is wrong. I just think that learning can be different, but there should be no distinction between elegance and vulgarity. The elegance of the present may be the vulgarity of the past, and the vulgarity of the present may be the elegance of the future. Others Not to mention, there are few people who can understand the so-called elegant music, from the court to the common people, don’t they all hear the sound of Chu. In the Zhou Dynasty, Chu people were looked down upon by the Central Plains people.”

Dong Zhongshu was at a loss for words for a while, and couldn't help feeling greatly. "What the boy said is reasonable, but I am indeed wrong. Then tell me, what exactly is this "Shan Hai Jing Tu" talking about?"

"That's exactly what I want to ask my master for advice." Sima Qian frowned. "Master, isn't Yao a saint? Why did he kill Gun?"

"Because Gun failed to control the water."

"Will he be killed if he fails to control the water? The flood is so big, and his failure may not be his responsibility."

"Because he didn't follow the right way to control the water, and used blocking instead of dredging. The failure of water control was his responsibility. Later, his son Yu succeeded in water control. Didn't Emperor Shun abdicate the throne to him? He doesn't take responsibility, who will take responsibility ?”

Sima Qian tilted his head, thought for a while, and then said: "But I still think Yao is more responsible. Didn't Master say that when something happens to the emperor, God will send disasters as a warning? If Yao is a saint , Why is there a great flood that spreads all over the world, so that Gun failed to control the water for nine years, and Yu succeeded in controlling the water for 13 years?"

"I..." Dong Zhongshu was speechless, his eyes widened, and he stared at Sima Qian.This is using the spear of the son, attacking the shield of the son.According to his theory of interaction between heaven and man, Yao is indeed not a saint.Fortunately, this kid didn't mention this sentence in front of the emperor, otherwise he would be even more ashamed than now.

"Also, Yao, Shun and Yu were abdicated and won the country by virtue. But Qi turned the public world into the family world. Did he do it right?"

"This..." Dong Zhongshu stopped joking and dealt with it carefully.Although this boy is not very old, he is very tricky, quite like Liang Xiao's style, he only attacks the weak points.The question about Yao was difficult to answer just now, and the question about Qi is also difficult to answer now.According to Confucianism, there must be three generations, and Qi is the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty. If he is a virtuous person, wouldn’t it be just for him to turn the public world into the family world?If family is an act of justice, then wouldn't Yao, Shun and Yu do something wrong?If it is said that Qi did not do the right thing, then how could he be able to open up the style of three generations?

The more Dong Zhongshu thought about it, the more questions he asked, and he didn't know how to answer Sima Qian.

In fact, he also knows that this is an unanswerable question, just like discussing whether it is legal for the Han family to rule the world.Is the high emperor Liu Bang a traitor or a man favored by God?It's hard to say.Liu Bang passed away only more than [-] years ago, and many people are familiar with his "heroic deeds".If it is said that God cares for such people, then God's selection criteria are too arbitrary.

Dong Zhongshu was flustered by Sima Qian's dark and bright eyes full of doubts.As a famous Confucian who has been famous for many years, he can't even answer a child's question, or in other words, can't give a clear and irrefutable answer. Is the effort of these decades really a self-deceiving dream?
"Master, master?" Sima Qian called out in a low voice, bringing Dong Zhongshu back from his grief.Dong Zhongshu laughed at himself. "I really can't answer your question, and I'm going to disappoint you."

Sima Qian tilted his head. "I will write a book in the future, a book that can answer these questions. Not only can I know what it is, but I can also know why it is."
