Chapter 15 Fourth, the person who fills the pit

In this contest between Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Che, Wei Wan and Zhi did not doubt that, including Ning Cheng, who was first a lieutenant and later became an internal historian, there were three people in Liu Che who poached Empress Dowager Dou.However, Zhao Wan and Wang Zang were the ones who were beaten to death by Queen Mother Dou, and Dou Ying and Tian Fu were the ones who were seriously injured.Counting, Liu Che's side suffered two deaths and two injuries, while Queen Dowager Dou only suffered one death and two injuries, so Queen Dowager Dou still won. It also echoes the saying in the martial arts novel routine: There are many people, but they can't beat the few people; the young, still can't beat the old.

Now that Liu Che dug the pit of Queen Dowager Dou, now the old man has to bring some to fill the pit.Regarding the two positions of prime minister and imperial doctor, Empress Dowager Dou already has candidates in mind.These two people are: Bai Zhi Hou Xu Chang and Wu Qiang Hou Zhuang Qing Zhai. Xuchang was the Minister of Sacrifice (Taichang) at that time, and his political achievements are unknown; Zhuang Qingzhai, the title of marquis is hereditary, and other things are also unknown.Since the merits of the two are mediocre, why did Empress Dowager Dou choose them? In my opinion, the officialdom in ancient China is like a martial arts arena, with three religions and nine streams, and good and evil mixed together.Some people were born to dig pits, while others were born to fill pits; the reason why Empress Dowager Dou took a fancy to them was nothing more than to pull them to fill pits and put on a show.

Then, Empress Dowager Dou was going to find someone to fill in the two pits of Lang Zhongling and Internal History.The pit was not too big, but Empress Dowager Dou pulled a huge stone to fill it.This boulder weighs about ten thousand stones, and is known as Lord Wanshi. Wan Shijun, named Fen, surnamed Shi, was born in the state of Zhao.The glorious deeds of Wan Shijun can be traced back to the era of the great ancestor Liu Bang.At that time, when Emperor Gaozu fought against Xiang Yu in the east, Shi Fen was still young and only fifteen years old.Although he was born in an era of troubled times and people's hearts are not old, Shi Fen has excellent qualities that are amazing at the time: he is respectful, humble and polite.

Shi Fen's merits, in today's words, should be regarded as a three-good student.At that time, Liu Bang took advantage of an opportunity to chat with him, feeling compassionate and ready to use him. So, Liu Bang asked him: kid, is there anyone else in your family? Shi Fen replied: There is an old mother in the family, unfortunately she is blind.The family is too poor and has no money to see a doctor, so my mother's illness has been dragging on.In addition, there is an older sister at home, who looks good and can play the harp. Oh.Liu Bang listened and nodded.He asked again: Uncle asked you a question, do you want to hang out with uncle?

In fact, anyone who knows Liu Bang knows that his trick is called taking advantage of the sheep.She obviously likes her elder sister who can sing, but she still pretends to be compassionate. In fact, what he wants to ask the most is: little friend, if you are willing to let your sister marry me, uncle, I will recognize you as my brother-in-law. Of course, in this world, there are almost no women that Liu Bang can't get.Besides, the world can learn from Shi Fen's filial piety.Once my sister marries Uncle Liu, not only will my mother's medical expenses be solved, but my sister's marriage problem will also be solved, and at the same time, my brother-in-law will be able to hitch a ride to the future.Kill three birds with one stone, why not do it?

Sure enough, Liu Bang really married sister Shi Fen, and he doted on her very much, and named her the title of beauty.What made the mother of the Shi family even more happy was that Liu Bang moved their whole family to live in Chang'an City.It not only solves the problem of their conversion from agriculture to non-agriculture, but also solves many major life problems such as houses.It can be said that if one person marries well, the whole family enjoys happiness. More enjoyment is yet to come.During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, Shi Fen was promoted to be a doctor of the Taizhong because of his honesty and reliability.Careful readers will find such a feature: as long as you become an official of the Taizhong Doctor, your future seems to be smooth.Such as Wei Wan and Tian Fu.

Sure enough, soon after, Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng moved Shi Fen to be the crown prince Liu Qi Taifu.After Liu Qi became emperor, of course he couldn't treat his teacher poorly, so he immediately promoted Shi Fen to the position of Jiuqing, with a rank of two thousand stones.Soon, he was moved to be the prime minister of the princes. What is even more surprising is that Shi Fen had four sons, the eldest son Shi Jian, the second son Shi Jia, the third son Shi Yi, and the fourth son Shi Qing. The temperament of the four sons was simply cast by Shi Fen with a model, and they were all human beings. Low-key, serious, polite, and all of them are high-ranking officials with a rank of two thousand stones.

Now we finally know how the title of Wan Shijun came from.The sum of Shi Fen's official position and his four sons is equal to 10,000 shi.At that time, Liu Qi couldn't stop talking. How did it happen, our relatives are so capable, and our family can reach the realm of 10,000 stones. So from then on, Liu Qi called Shi Fen Lord Wan Shi.Because of his great reputation, later generations called Shi Fen no longer called him by name, and called him Wan Shijun directly.This nickname, whoever it covers, probably sounds like a very enjoyable thing. The reason why Empress Dowager Dou took a fancy to Wan Shijun was because he had no knowledge of Confucianism and taught his children well.

Of course, it is no longer possible for Wan Shijun to hold both the positions of Langzhong Ling and internal historian.Not to mention two jobs, one job is also impossible.There is only one reason, Shi Fen is old and it is time to step down. Speaking of giving up, of course, refers to giving up to the four children of his family.Empress Dowager Dou chose two of them, the eldest son Shi Jian and the youngest son Shi Qing.Qian Shijian was appointed as Lang Zhongling, and Shi Qing was mentioned as internal history. So far, several big pits have finally been filled back.Empress Dowager Dou can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, this is just the first bout.Empress Dowager Dou can fill it, and Liu Che can dig it again.The good show, of course, is yet to come.
