Chapter 459 My Uncle Liu Ji
My name is Liu Xin. When I was a child, my family was in Zhongyang. I was not a rich family, but I just had enough to live. My father passed away, and my family was maintained by my Zhong father's farming. In addition to him, I had three Zhong fathers.
My father felt very painful for our financial difficulties, but every night, my father would go for a walk inside and outside in a neatly dressed manner. At that time, as soon as he saw a carriage coming from afar, he would always say his never-changing words: "Oh! What a surprise it would be if Liu Ji was on this boat!"
My father's younger brother, Uncle Liu Ji, was the only hope for the whole family at that time, and before that, it was the horror of the whole family. It is said that he was not good at doing things right and liked to waste money. In poor families, this was the biggest sin, forcing his parents to make money, that was a bad guy, a hooligan, and a scoundrel. After Uncle Liu Ji took away some of the inheritance he deserved, he also occupied the remaining part of what my father deserved.
He then went to Wei State, without any news.
An official said: Liu Ji made great contributions on the battlefield and must have had a great title. This made our family deeply moved. Liu Ji, who everyone thought was worthless, suddenly became an upright person and a conscientious person.
On this day, Liu Taigong, who was bragging about his son to his friends as usual, suddenly heard the news of Liu Ji coming back from the villagers. Liu Taigong was stunned for a moment, then was ecstatic. He jumped up suddenly and walked towards the door. At the same time, his friends followed him, wanting to see this now upright big man. From a distance, Liu Taigong heard his son's familiar voice.
Liu Ji was surrounded by villagers. This rogue who was looked down upon at the time was transformed into a big shot. No one dared to mock him as he did before. He just listened to Liu Ji telling his experience and talking about the big shots he had met. Liu Ji knew that these people didn't know anything, so he let go of his courage to whisper, and had seen Wang Jian, had served as a soldier under the command of Marquis Wu Cheng, and had dinner with him. He could be said to be open-mouthed.
Of course, what he brags is reasonable and well-founded. He did meet Wang Jian. Wang Jian came to patrol the army at that time, and he also met Marquis Wu Cheng and had dinner with him, because Marquis Wu Cheng eats with the soldiers every meal... Liu Ji was bragging, and Mr. Liu squeezed out the crowd, walked to him with a smile, stood in front of him, looking at his son, Liu Ji looked at his father in front of him, and at that moment, he was silent.
His eyes flushed in an instant, and he was silent for a moment. Liu Ji suddenly laughed and said, "You should have given me some more money!"
The son still looked like this. No matter what his status was, Liu Taigong laughed loudly and took him home with his son's clothes. He was much more polite to Liu Ji's present day, including his nephew Liu Xin, and they were even a little restrained. After all, Liu Ji's black clothes are enough to make people scare. The only one who has not changed his attitude is the only mother.
My father no longer scolded him like before, only his mother, but he still held his hand and cried and asked if he had suffered.
Liu Ji was actually a very filial person. Whether he was to his father or his mother, although people often used "dividing me a bowl" to mock him, in fact, at that time, only in this way could he protect his father. After becoming emperor, Liu Ji was particularly respectful to his father. He could tolerate his father occasionally beat and scolded him. Later, a minister persuaded Liu Taigong, saying that you were just a minister and your son was the emperor, so you could not treat him like this.
When Liu Bang heard this, he directly named his father the Supreme Emperor.
Liu Ji really enjoyed such a successful life, so he told his father truthfully that when he went to Wei State, Xinling Jun had already passed away, and the soldiers captured him. There was a Chang'an Jun, the younger brother of the current emperor. He turned his crime of exile into migration, turning himself from "escape from Qin State" to "migrating from Chu State to Qin State", thus becoming an immigrant to Qin State.
Qin was very kind to immigrants and even distributed land. However, Liu Bang liked farming, but he did not dare to be willful in Qin, so he could only farm helplessly. After a while, a war against Chu suddenly broke out. Liu Ji, who was farming, also took the opportunity to learn Qin language and Qin characters, and then learned the law from the pavilion chief, and then joined the army. According to the original regulations of Qin, only Qin people who settled in Qin for three generations were qualified to be soldiers.
It was Wu Chenghou who changed this point, and Liu Ji successfully entered the army and began the road to upgrading.
People always like to magnify one aspect of historical figures and then ignore other aspects of them. It seems that Liu Ji is only a rogue and has no ability at all. Just like Liu Bei only knows how to cry, but he doesn't know how to say that Liu Ji is the country that comes out, and Liu Bei is the country that comes out... This is a bit unrealistic. Liu Ji's own military and administrative abilities are very outstanding, and he is also very charming. He is a smaller version of the ambitious and down-to-earth Xinlingjun.
In the next few days, local officials came to see Liu Ji. Liu Ji was also polite to these people and treated them like an old friend. He even remembered the name and even his hometown of the comrade, which made the comrade who was not very close to him instantly impressed him and regarded him as his best friend. Liu Ji was not idle at home either. He wanted more people to see what he is now, so he wandered around everywhere, listening to the praises and looking at those envious gazes.
"Brother...where did you buy this clothes?" A little guy with a treacherous head raised his head and looked at Liu Ji curiously, and couldn't help asking.
Liu Ji knocked on the boy's forehead and said, "What brother, I want to call Zhongfu."
The little guy looked only five or six years old. When Liu Ji knocked this, he widened his eyes and looked at him angrily, saying, "If you don't tell me, forget it, why do you still hit me? Aren't you afraid that you will hit me when I grow up?" Hearing the little guy's question, the young Liu Ji couldn't help laughing. He lowered his head, looked at the boy in front of him, and said, "Even if you grow up, you may not be my opponent."
"Then you wait. When I grow up, I will tie you up and hit you on the forehead every day!"
"Hahaha~~", Liu Ji smiled, touched the little guy's head, and asked, "What's your name? Whose child is it?"
"I am the child of my parents! My name is Fan Kuai!"
Liu Ji laughed and left here and did not take this child in his heart. In fact, Fan Kuai was not very old, and was a teenager younger than Liu Ji. Therefore, Fan Kuai probably treated Liu Ji not as a friend, but as a brother or a trustworthy elder. In history, if we were to say that the general who could fight the most, there would definitely be a lot of controversy, and there were too many generals who could lead troops to fight.
But if you say that you have the strongest martial arts skills and the most brave, then Fan Kuai will definitely be in the first echelon.
Many people know Xiang Yu's courage. Historical books also record the record of Xiang Yu killing more than 100 people in a row. This is very scary. His personal courage has reached the extreme, but few people know that Fan Kuai's personal courage is also at the ceiling level.
There was once a fierce man who participated in the battle for the first time, and killed fifteen heads in one battle, and immediately upgraded from an ordinary soldier to a sixth-level official doctor. Then the second battle was a siege battle. He stormed the first to rush to the top of the city regardless of arrows, killed it again, and finally counted, good guy, twenty-three heads, and the doctor who was promoted to the seventh-level official doctor.
The third game was the siege battle. The fierce man was the first to break the city and defeated the prime minister's son. However, he was in poor condition and only killed sixteen people and promoted to the public vehicle. In the fourth game, he besieged the county magistrate and repelled reinforcements, probably because he no longer needed military merit so urgently. He killed fourteen people and captured eleven people. The fifth game was a big battle. Perhaps someone complained that his strength had begun to regress and he could no longer maintain his former courage.
The fierce man was furious. In this battle, he cut off sixty-eight heads and grabbed twenty-seven people, which made the soldiers in the army tremble. He did not dare to raise his head to look at his face, and began to jump and escalate again. Similar scenes appeared again and again. The warriors were no longer willing to kill ordinary soldiers, and began to specifically select generals to kill them. When ordinary soldiers saw him surrendered, the highest record was to capture 116 people and surrender more than a thousand people.
Do you feel it is a bit illusory?
In fact, this is the real credit card of Liu Bang's army on the original historical line, that is, Fan Kuai's record, without any moisture.
Xiang Yu killed 100 people in a row, which looked a bit illusory and was not very accurate. Tai Shigong could not avoid exaggeration by writing history, because many things were heard and Tai Shigong always liked to write history by writing novels. Of course, although the Records of the Grand Historian inevitably had exaggeration, it was generally very consistent with history.
Fan Kuai's credit book is a real record. This guy's record is too terrible, which makes people feel numb.
When these terrible guys of the Han Dynasty began to become Qin people, Qin's glory could probably continue.
...........
At this moment, the young master Fusu also came to the south. On the way, the young master who had not yet established his crown looked at the situation along the way curiously. Since leaving Xianyang, he has changed his identity. He is no longer the noble prince of the Qin Dynasty. He is just an ordinary school disciple. He has just passed the assessment and is preparing to work in Kuaiji County. Only after abandoning his original identity did Fusu see the most real Qin State.
Many things seemed to be different from what the young man thought. After leaving Xianyang and leaving Hangu Pass, his world was shaken. He thought that the officials in all regions were as honest and upright as Xianyang, but he encountered several malicious interrogations, and the other party asked him to pay the toll. When the young man angrily moved out of the law, he was laughed at him.
Local officials detained him on the pretext of the pass as if it was a fake. They said that as long as Fusu could pay a little money, they could leave with peace of mind. Fusu did not choose to compromise. When he insisted on reporting to the upper class, the other party was a little frightened and wanted to get rid of Fusu and others in secret. If the prefect of Sanchuan came here to inspect, they would be afraid that Fusu would have died in prison in secret.
This made Fusu very angry. It was the first time that the benevolent and righteous gentleman was so angry that he hurriedly wrote a letter to Xianyang to inform him of the situation here. The Sanchuan prefect's face turned pale and quickly put several officials in the county and county. Fusu continued to rush on his way. He saw a lot of vicious cruel officials who maliciously made others embarrassed for political achievements. There were kind officials who would personally help the local people, but were considered to be pretending and excluded... The world was not as beautiful as Fusu thought.
I don’t know when it started, but Fusu frowned. The Qin State system is very superior. It strictly investigates corrupt officials and governs the country with the law. However, no matter how strict the system is, sins cannot be avoided. This is the reality. The Qin State in reality is not as beautiful as seen in Xianyang. It also has corrupt officials, mediocre and incompetent officials, thieves, and tyrants...
When Fusu came to Kuaiji County, he first came to pay homage to Zhongfu.
Zhao Kang narrowed his eyes and looked at Fusu in front of him. After reading his father's letter, he grinned and said, "Along the way, four or five county magistrates were killed and one prefect was dismissed... I was frightened..." Fusu faced Zhongfu, the uneasiness brought along the way also disappeared. Zhongfu sat there, like a mountain, and Fusu told Zhao Kang all the grievances in his heart and what he saw along the way.
Zhao Kang listened carefully, but there was no surprise on his face.
"However, I think this would not happen here... I heard that you are the best prefect in the south... You probably won't meet a villain here."
"Oh?" Zhao Kang was stunned, then squinted his eyes, and he said, "I am just a mortal, not a father. How can I make sure that I am surrounded by wise men? Forget it... I know which position is best for you."
Fusu looked at Zhao Kang with a daze. The next day, he was appointed as Youzhi. Youzhi was a township official, mainly responsible for supervision and statistics. Fusu was very happy. He felt that he could definitely help Zhongfu select the evil people in the county. However, when he really started to reach the place, all he saw were gentlemen. These people could not find any crimes. Some people came to him and sued an official. When he decided to judge, the people suddenly changed their words, lowered their heads, and dared not speak again.
However, these superior officials of Duyi were particularly strict with themselves, and they wrote letters several times but were rejected.
Fusu always feels something is wrong, why is it so difficult to do things?
Why is this different from what you learned from books?
