Drum sounds are heard all the drum towers in Xiyang City begin to remind everyone that the curfew is about to begin. Except for the night market in the south of the city, there are no idle people in other areas of the city. Tianlai Novels

In this era, even in big cities such as Chang'an and Yecheng, curfews must be imposed in all parts of the city at night. Not only will the city gates be closed, fences are set up at intersections of neighborhoods and there are special people to guard them and they are not allowed to pass at will.

Apart from the night patrol team, only sudden incidents such as diseases and childbirth can be exceptions. Although the activities of the powerful are actually exceptions, no one dares to do anything in Xiyang City.

Who dares to do anything randomly? Huangzhou chief manager Yuwen Wen personally taught him how to be a human being, but Yuwen Wen is not unkind. A curfew is not imposed in an area south of the city. There are residences, restaurants, teahouses, and tile houses there that can be opened all night.

So Xiyang City is different from other places. It has a night market, which has become a place where merchants linger, laughter and joy all night.

Some officials even had fun here, of course, the premise was that they would not delay their next day's official duties. However, the Sima Yang Ji, the General Administration of Huangzhou, was not included. After he came out of the East Floor of the Prince of Xiyang, he returned home before the curfew.

After moving out of the Xiyang Palace, Yang Ji lived in this ordinary new mansion. Apart from a few followers, the gatekeeper, the chef, the sweeper, the washing and other necessary servants, there were no extra people. As for the concubines, there was no such thing as the genius.

Those who come to the mansion to be guests have no other entertainment activities except for opera and squirting and drinking. Of course, Yang Ji is not an ascetic. If he really needs to liven up the atmosphere, he will go to a restaurant to have guests, and he will have everything he likes, and then click to stop.

After explaining some matters, Yang Ji transferred to the study and started writing a letter, which was a letter to King Yuwen Wen of Xiyang tomorrow. He wanted to introduce what happened today. Of course, it was not because Mai Tiebing came to throw him into the crowd, but because the other party's experience was different from the historical records.

As a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Ji naturally read the "Book of Sui" and his introduction to Mai Tiezhang's life made him puzzled.

The Book of Sui Dynasty records: The iron rod of wheat was born, and he was brave and powerful. He traveled 500 miles a day and ran to galloping horses. He was dissatisfied with wine, liked to travel, valued loyalty, and always treated fishing and hunting, but did not control the industry.

Chen Taijianzhong gathered as a group of thieves. Guangzhou Governor Ouyang Fu captured him and offered him a gift. He was not appointed as an official household and was given an imperial umbrella.

The problem lies in this passage. Guangzhou Governor Ouyang Fu died during the Tianjia period. Tianjia was the reign title of Chen Shizu Chen Lu, while Taijian reign title was the reign title of Chen Lu's younger brother, Emperor Xuan of Chen Xu.

A few years after Ouyang Fu's death was the first year of Taijian, which means that there was a problem with the introduction of Mai Tiejian in the Book of Sui.

The only explanation should be that the name of the person was confused: the Guangzhou governor who caught the wheat iron rod was Ouyang He, the son of Ouyang Fu. Ouyang He succeeded as the Guangzhou governor after his father Ouyang Fu died.

The second question is that the "Taiping Guangji" compiled in the Northern Song Dynasty also records the deeds of Mai Tiebang. The said on it is the chief umbrella of Chen, which also makes Yang Ji feel in doubt.

Excluding the mistake of the name of a person, according to the Book of Sui, Mai Tiebang was a thief during the Taijian period and was captured by a Guangzhou governor named Ouyang and sent to Jiankang as an official slave. Then this matter could only be born in the first year of Taijian.

Because Guangzhou Governor Ouyang He started a rebellion at the end of that year and was finally defeated and died, there was no Guangzhou Governor named Ouyang. According to various historical analysis, Yang Ji felt that Mai Tiebang could only hold the imperial umbrella for Emperor Chen Xu at the beginning of Taijian.

At that time, Chen Shubao (later Chen Houzhu) was still the crown prince.

The Book of Sui does not record whether the emperor was Chen Xu or Chen Shubao at that time, but the Taijian year was thirteen years old. As a thief, he was captured as an official slave and used to hold an umbrella, it was normal for the bandits to steal at the beginning. It was normal for him to wait until thirteen years before stealing.

In short, Mai Tiebang was captured by Guangzhou Governor Ouyang He and sent him to Jiankang as an official slave in the first year of Taijian. He held an umbrella for Chen Xu, the emperor of Chen State. Later, the matter was escorted. Chen Xu cherished his talent and let him go home.

According to various historical materials, Mai Tiebang was captured by Ouyang Fu, the governor of Guangzhou, and later went to Jiankang to become an official slave and was in charge of the imperial umbrella. It should be a mistake.

Yang Ji could only bury this judgment in his heart. Now that he saw Mai Tiezhang himself, he learned his true experience from him, which was similar to what he had thought about back then, which made him a little excited.

"Book of Sui" was compiled in the early Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Linghu Defen proposed to compile the history of five dynasties including Liang, Chen, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and Sui. The following year, the court ordered historians to edit, but it was not possible to write the book.

In the early years of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng "mastered his affairs" and recompiled the history of the Five Dynasties. Wei Zheng was the chief editor of the "Book of Sui". Other scholars including Yan Shigu, Kong Yingda and others participated in the editing.

The compilation of historical books of the Five Dynasties brought together most famous people at that time, especially the "Book of Sui". Not long after the Sui Dynasty fell, many of the materials were first-hand, and there were even many parties to verify them, but the result was inevitable that there were omissions.

Regarding the records of Mai Tie Staff, the Book of Sui first said that Mai Tie Staff was a thief during the Taijian period, and then said that Mai Tie Staff was then captured by Ouyang Fu, the governor of Guangzhou. However, in the Book of Chen, it also records that Ouyang Fu died during the Tianjia period. The two confirmed that they were not in line with each other.

Yang Ji would not question the level of Wei Zheng and others because of this, but instead lamented that it was difficult to study history. Now he happily wrote a letter, but the reason was another.

One day, when chatting, Yang Ji and Yuwen Wen had arguing about the experience of Mai Tiebang. Although Yuwen Wen was also suspicious, he insisted that the history books were correct. Ouyang He became Ouyang Fu, and he must have made the mistake by the servants, and then he kept making mistakes for thousands of years. Mai Tiebang must have been the umbrella for Hou Chen to take charge of the imperial umbrella.

Just like in the debates in the past, all kinds of strange and strange stories of Yuwen Wen emerged, making Yang Ji speechless. Now that the truth is revealed, Yang Ji wants to see what Yuwen Wen's expression is.

When Yang Ji thought of the stubborn Yuwen Wen and his stunned look after reading the letter, he felt very pleased.

King Xiyang, you lost!

.....

"It's true, Mai Tiebang is coming to join the army? Aren't he holding an umbrella for Chen Shubao?"

"The soul is so calm, I really hold an umbrella for Chen Xu!"

"I see..."

Yuwen Wen murmured to himself while reading the letter. Beside him, Yuchi Chifan was dressing in front of him. It was afternoon now, but the two of them had just gotten up.

"Erlang, what's the matter?"

"Call the king."

"Big ~ King ~"

"Well, let's continue after dinner."

Yuchi Chifan's face turned slightly red when she arrived at An Liu yesterday and was almost swallowed by Yuwen Wen that night. The two of them had tossed for a night and only got up until now. If she "continues" later, she wouldn't remember.

"It's all an old couple, why are you blushing?"

"Big ~ King, the water flows forever..."

"Is Sanniang questioning her husband's ability? Hum?"

"I'm just worried about Tsubaki."

"Don't think about Jilang, now Erlang has the final say!"

"This is not good, I'm worried about mistakes...ah!"

After pinching the plump little white rabbit, Yuwen Wen sighed: "Go back to the mansion and ask the accountant to allocate a thousand guan to Mr. Yang."

"Do you want to make new items again?"
