Chapter 27 1. Strange events

82 BC, spring.In the first month of Chang'an this year, the atmosphere of history is a bit strange. At that time, the wind whistled across the desolate city wall.Beside the city wall, the dog hides in the corner with its tail between its legs, squinting its eyes, looking at this wasted world that seems to have nothing to do with it.Under the clear sky, there are few pedestrians on the distant streets of Chang'an.I seem to see that the vendors in Chang'an are waiting for a late performance with an unprecedented paradoxical expression. The one who is about to appear is an actor from afar.At this time, he was sitting on a small ox cart, and wandered into the city.There is a yellow flag on the ox cart, and the man sitting on the small ox cart has a yellow robe, a short jacket, and a yellow cap.He had a calm demeanor, his gaze was like a torch, and he was watching Weiyang Palace from a distance.He looked at Weiyang official from a distance, as if he was looking at a distant lover.

This man didn't look like a small peddler rushing to the market because he was penniless; he didn't look like he came here to visit relatives and friends. His whereabouts were clearly visible, as if he was a wanderer who had been away from Chang'an for many years.So, who is this man, where did he come from, and for whom?no one knows. So, this man, whom no one knew and could not know, continued on in a small ox cart, and arrived at the north gate of Weiyang Palace as if he knew the way.The main gate of Weiyang Palace faces south, and the north gate is the place where central officials of the Han Dynasty requested to meet the emperor or present memorials.The strange man jumped off the ox cart and suddenly yelled towards the north gate.

His roar was like thunder on dry land, and Chang'an was struck by the thunder all at once. Because, the voice that this mysterious passer-by yelled was: My Prince Liu Shi finally came back alive. The former prince Liu Ju is back?What the hell.The gatekeeper was at a loss when he heard the word prince.They reported to the officer, and the officer was even more at a loss, so they reported to Huo Guang.At this moment, Huo Guang panicked. If it is true that the crown prince died without resting his eyes and the salted fish turns over, then the problem will be serious.The big thing is that he didn't come back late, he didn't come back sooner, and he came back after Liu Che appointed Liu Fuling as his successor.Welcome him into the city and let everyone play with him in a hurry?That's not fun at all, absolutely not.If you don't welcome him into the city, it's not appropriate because of emotion and reason.Because before Liu Che died, he vindicated Liu Ju.

so what to do now? To be honest, Huo Guang didn't know what to do.However, Huo Guang immediately summoned all senior officials above the ministerial level in Chang'an City.What are you calling for?Huo Guang told them that everyone should inspect the goods first and then make a decision. I think the inspection is fake, if he guessed correctly, he has other plans. In my opinion, the world's political masters are the same as the world's sword or alchemy masters.That is, if the alchemy sword is well practiced, it is always necessary to find someone to test the sword.The sword is used to slash people to see if it is good or bad; the dan is swallowed raw to see if it is effective.At that time, Zhao Gao, a master of the Qin Dynasty, practiced the political magic skills of the Sunflower Collection.So in front of Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, a whole matter of pointing a deer into a horse was made.

As a result, most of the Qin Dynasty followed Zhao Gao's statement, making Hu Hai himself confused.The superb Zhao Gao, with an unprecedented political experiment, proved that as long as you are powerful enough, you can completely make everyone open their eyes and talk nonsense in broad daylight.And those who don't talk nonsense have only one end, and report to King Yama in advance. Therefore, Huo Guang asked the senior officials of the Han Dynasty to go out of the city to inspect the goods.There is only one purpose, it doesn't matter whether the goods are real or not, the important thing is to see what they say.

At that time, the north gate of Weiyang Palace was already filled with a vast ocean and a sea of ​​people.Those gathered at the north gate of Weiyang Palace were the citizens of Chang'an.There is only one purpose for them to come, to carry on the fine tradition of Chinese people who like to join in the fun, and come to join in the fun. You know, there was no TV, no newspapers, and no Internet at that time.How many people in Chang'an know the so-called Prince Liu Shi?Since they don't know, so many people came here to join in the fun.Of course, this bustle is not a buzz.Huo Guang ordered the army to be fully armed and guard outside the palace in case of accidents.

Citizens don't recognize Liu Shi, but ministers and gentlemen should still be able to do so.However, what I didn't expect was that this group of people wandered around the city, and no one dared to express their opinions.They didn't dare to say anything, not because they didn't really recognize Liu Shi.It was because they couldn't figure out what Huo Guang was up to, let alone what tricks Huo Guang was going to play next.That being the case, of course no one wants to be taken advantage of. The best statement is to keep your mouth shut.Don't say, it means there is nothing wrong.That's right, in terms of the philosophy of survival in the officialdom, that's called being wise and protecting one's life.In layman's terms, it's called Amitabha, thank God.

The ministers didn't say anything, and Huo Guang didn't say anything, everyone was wasting their time.Suddenly, an ominous thought popped up in Huo Guang's heart.Immediately, fortunately for Huo Guang, this ominous atmosphere was immediately blown away by a whirlwind. It was none other than Jun Buyi who had just escaped Liu Ze's knife. Junbuyi, styled Manqian, was born in Bohai (now east of Cang County, Hebei Province).If you have no eyesight, then you should see that there seems to be someone with the same name and different surname as Jun Buyi.That person is a good old man.

Back then, the good old man had no doubts. With his excellent character, he experienced the rule of Wenjing, from Langguan to Yushi doctor.However, as soon as Liu Che came to power, he swept away the quiet and gentle style of the Western Han Dynasty, and pulled down both Prime Minister Wei Wan and Doctor Yushi. If your eyes are good enough, you should also be able to see that Junbuyi should have the same word as another person.That person, of course, was Dongfang Shuo.Dongfang Shuo, with the word Manqian, is also known as Dongfang Manqian.Because he himself can play sharp turns with his head, he was more and more popular among the people, so he finally gained a good name-Zhisheng.

The above two people, even though Jun did not doubt that their names were somewhat involved, they did not touch them in the slightest.It was a once very good person who made him feel good.That person is called Bao Shengzhi. In the last years of Emperor Wu, the economy of the Han Dynasty was sluggish. Overnight, many bandits appeared all over the country to make a living by looting houses.Ever since, Emperor Wu Liu Che entrusted the arduous task of rectifying local law and order to Bao Shengzhi.The work of the violent victory is not ambiguous at all. Once he arrives at the place, he will personally take command.

As mentioned earlier, the brightest and most profound scene he left for the place is wearing gorgeous costumes, holding a sharp axe, and chasing thieves like a wolf chasing a rabbit.So for a while, the prestige of the violent victory spread far and wide, and every time the robbers heard that the violent victory was coming, their feet would always cramp.The love and the scene are no less than when the devils entered the village. Just like Bao Shengzhi, Jun Buyi is also a person who dresses very carefully.A crown on the head, a sword on the waist, a pendant ring, and a Chinese clothing belt.As long as a person stands in the breeze and looks graceful, he can rise with the wind.Keeping up with the trend is not an undoubted advantage, but more importantly, he is quite talented.He has studied "Spring and Autumn" for many years, and is known to everyone in the local literary circle.Such romantic talents, as long as they show off on Chang'an Avenue, I am afraid they will fascinate a lot of literary fans. Jun did not doubt that before meeting Bao Shengzhi, he was just a literary youth.As the saying goes, birds choose good trees to live in, and people live in sages.Just when the violent victory became famous in the prefectures and counties, Jun did not doubt that it was necessary for him to see the violent victory. So, Jun did not doubt that he really went.He handed his business card at the gate of the storm.The so-called business card is Ye.The gatekeeper looked at his business card, and without further ado, he wanted to untie the sword around his waist.Regardless of the rules, I know that if a stranger comes to meet people with a sword, no one will feel safe. However, Jun Buyi yelled to the guard loudly: "Swordsman, a gentleman is equipped with weapons, and the body is protected by wearing it. It cannot be undone." Of course, at the end he added a sentence, if you forcibly untie the sword, that's good, I'll leave. Jun did not doubt that he drank and frightened the guard.The guard had no choice but to report to the officer. The officer felt that the visitor was too arrogant and could not make up his mind, so he ran to report to Bao Sheng.Surprisingly, he called him in. Juan stepped into the hall swaggeringly without any doubt, with that gorgeous dress, that gait, that demeanor, that stance, he was so victorious that he couldn't stop tsk-tsk in his heart.After sitting down, Jun Buyi began to chat with Bao Shengzhi.What is frightening is that when Jun Buyi opened his mouth, it was like a river flooding out of control, from daytime to nighttime. In fact, at that time, Jun Buji spit all day and night, and only said one thing: the way to be an official, if you are too rigid, you will break, and if you are too soft, you will fail.The best way is to compromise.That is to say, to act prestige in the world and show kindness.In today's words, it is both soft and hard, with carrots and sticks. Jun Buyi's high-sounding remarks completely conquered all the audience including Bao Shengzhi.The banquet was dismissed that night, and the next day, Bao Shengzhi wrote a letter of recommendation to Emperor Wu Liu Che.Soon, Jun Buji was worshiped as the governor of Qingzhou.Unexpectedly, after taking office, Liu Ze came who wanted to rebel.Fortunately, someone informed him, and Jun Buji preempted Liu Ze, who was about to kill him, and arrested him and handed him over to the central government for interrogation. In the end, the case was closed, and Liu Ze was convicted of treason and sentenced to death.Jun did not doubt that he made a decisive attack and was honored as the special mayor of Chang'an (Jing Zhaoyin). Having said so much, let us sum up Junbushi's style of dealing with people and things: pretending to be handsome is a must; ability is not to be doubted; doing things is even more unambiguous.It can be said that he is a veteran official with quick response and decisive action. Jun Buyi is bold and bold, but he is not very well-informed about social news.It was only later that he found out that there was an unknown prince Liu Shi from outside Chang'an.So, he hurried to the scene and found that tens of thousands of people in Chang'an, including Huo Guang, were at a loss for the man in the yellow robe and short coat like watching a dinosaur. In this situation, Jun Busu didn't even say hello to Huo Guang, and led a few people directly to the ox cart, taking down the counterfeit who claimed to be Liu Zheng. Jun did not doubt that his act of showing off caused a lot of dissatisfaction.The most dissatisfied were the citizens of Chang'an, because they didn't have enough excitement, Jun Buyi took them down, it was too boring.Accompanied by the dissatisfied citizens of Chang'an, there are also those high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty who have been suspicious and guessing ghosts and gods. Some of them said to Juan Buyi: "You arrest people randomly before you identify them. Do you want to figure out who they are first?" Jun Buyi sneered, and said: "How else can I figure it out? The crown prince Liu Ju offended the late emperor and fled. Even if he came back, he surrendered himself. Shouldn't he be arrested?" Immediately afterwards, Jun did not hesitate to put the counterfeit in prison first.Immediately afterwards, he sent someone to report to Huo Guang.In the end, Huo Guang publicly said: "Jun Buyi is very good at doing things and understands the truth. Everyone should learn from him." Afterwards, there was no doubt about anything.Huo Guang sent someone to file a case to investigate the matter, and found that the man who claimed to be Liu Ju was indeed a counterfeit.His real information is that his name is Cheng Fangsui, a native of Xiayang (now Hancheng City, Shaanxi Province).Before the accident, he was just a fortune teller in Hu County. This person who does not want to be a fortune teller, but wants to be a counterfeit, can make Chang'an very popular. The process is roughly as follows: First, Liu Juyishen, who asked him to tell a fortune, accidentally said a word to him. The meaning of the words was, He looks too much like the former prince Liu Ju.Later, the fortune-teller, whose head was stepped on by a donkey or hit by a stone, suddenly wanted to go to Chang'an to be a magic stick to play tricks in order to gain wealth. Now, I didn't expect that I didn't win wealth, but I lost my life.Soon, the counterfeit product was dragged to Chang'an Street and cut in half.At this point, the farce is over.
