There was a thunderclap on the ground, Da, Shan, Yu!
Chen Xing searched for this title in his memory, remembering many things that had long been forgotten when he was still living in Jinyang nine years ago. My father once mentioned that the name Dachanyu originated from the Xiongnu, meaning the monarch of the various Hu tribes. However, just after Liu Yuan led the Huns to enter the customs, after the founding of the state and called Han Zhao, Da Shanyu became a false title to win over the Hu people outside the Great Wall, with only positions and no real power.
Over the past few decades, the Han and Zhao disintegrated, the Liu family of the Huns were exterminated, and the Han Ran Min established the state of Wei, and awarded the title of Da Shanyu to his son to rule over the Hus. After Ran Wei was destroyed, the northern Hus could no longer bear the mutual attack of the Hu people who entered the pass. They made a blood alliance under the Chile River and rebuilt the covenant. The Shuryu family of the Tiele people.
Since then, Da Shanyu has become the nominal chief of each Hu, and naturally he is also in command of the Wuhu. All the ethnic groups in the Central Plains court, after you sing, I will appear, and the dragon chairs will take turns to sit, but still can not ignore the role of the great Chanyu inside and outside the Great Wall.
In addition to Di, Jie, Qiang, Xianbei, and Xiongnu among the Hu people, there are many nomadic nomads outside the Great Wall. However, each clan cannot work together. After all, long-term life, living place, and entanglement of interests are divided into many divisions. Often, fighting is fierce within the clan. Even suppressed internal and external disputes among tribes. What's more important is that even if the Wuhu enters the customs and lives, the blood and foundation of the ancestors are still outside the fortress.
When we entered the pass, there was a lot of debate among the clan, but it was the right way for all things to replace the old with the new. The old elders of all the clans were unable to stop the clansmen from giving up their habitats and moving to the pass. Chanyu also has the meaning of containing the Central Plains.
Whether Han Zhao or Ran Wei, including the current Qin, and the Murong Yan Kingdom, which was flattened by Fu Jian’s division, there is a ceremony that cannot be avoided in order to establish a state and proclaim the emperor—that is, waiting for the north of the Great Wall. The titular leader of the Hu Hu, Da Shanyu, came to the emperor to award a scroll of the blood of the tribes to the emperor, and he used a parchment tied with a gold belt to show the loyalty of all the tribes inside and outside the fortress.
This process is also known as "purple rolls of gold", because the sheepskin used to bleed the blood will appear lavender. Even if the foreign emperor's rule after entering the customs is stable, this process cannot be ignored. And it is precisely because of this that the emperor himself rarely holds the post of a big single. After all, no one wants to grant the purple scroll to himself, otherwise it will definitely become a joke of all the Hus.
In the Ran Wei Dynasty, the big Dan was a false title, but it was not necessarily for Fu Jian. Back then, the Fu family served as the chieftain of Xirong for generations. Not only did he contain the enemy for the Fu family, but he also became a powerful pawn in Fu Hong's hands.
The Fu family even briefly pledged their allegiance to Jin, and got the tacit approval of Da Chanyu to gain a firm foothold. Fu Jian founded the Qin state, and after his death, his son Fu Sheng succeeded him, and Fu Jian was named the King of the East Sea. Fu Sheng was debauched and tyrannical, and he acted in perverted ways, so a civil war broke out in Da Qin.
In the end, Fu Jian was able to get half of the country in the north. Apart from his own talents, the most important thing was the Shulu family outside the Great Wall.
And Chen Xing never imagined that the protector who he accidentally rescued from the city of Xiangyang was the heir of the Shulu family!
At that time, Fu Jian laughed loudly, put Xiang Shu on the shoulders, and welcomed him into the Dengming Hall, but Xiang Shu seemed to be used to it, so he pointed to the place and asked Chen Xing to sit.
"I ordered something to eat," Xiang Shu said, "I haven't eaten lunch yet, I'm hungry."
Fu Jian immediately dismissed the officials in the hall and let people pass the food. Tuoba Yan was as dazed as Chen Xing, you look at me, I look at you, Chen Xing showed fear in his eyes, and waved his hand gently, indicating that he did not know at all.
Dengming Hall was where Fu Jian reviewed the memorials. This Emperor Qin shouldered a great responsibility in order to govern the north. Even if not many people understood him, he did his best. Most of the three meals were used in the hall. At this time, Murong Chong had been named the prefect of Pingyang and went to take office. Since Murong Chong left his side, Fu Jian, even concubines in the harem, was rarely seen, and most of the time he was diligent in political affairs.
"You just disappeared in this world for a whole year," said Fu Jian, "I sent a letter to look for your whereabouts!"
The wine came up quickly, Xiang Shu drank a little, and replied, "Life is too short, and it's a long story."
Learn from me, learn from me! Chen Xing thought to himself.
Fu Jian made a gesture, motioning Tuoba Yan to go down, no need to guard, and there were three people in the hall and a eunuch who was ordered.
"Who is this little brother?" Fu Jian looked at Chen Xing with interest and said, "It hasn't been introduced yet."
"The kid I picked up on the road," Xiang Shu said, "it looks pretty, and I brought it to you as a face, but unfortunately it's a mute."
"You..." Chen Xing turned to Xiang Shu, and Xiang Shu added, "Aren't you dumb?"
Fu Jian laughed again, and Chen Xing said to Xiang Shu, "Xiang Shu! Why didn't you tell me that you are Da Chanyu?"
Xiang Shu replied indifferently: "What am I, and what is your business? In short, it's not enough to protect the law."
Fu Jian smiled at Chen Xing and said, "How on earth did you two know each other? What nonsense did Shu Lukong say? This fellow has been arranging me for you."
Chen Xing is completely convinced, wait, isn't this person Fu Jian? Am I talking to Qin Emperor Fujian? ! There were so many things that happened that night, which made his mind a mess, and he didn't know what to ask for a while.
At that time, there was another beauty who led several palace servants in, and when he saw Xiang Shu, he said indifferently: "There was a lot of commotion in the palace just now, and the people below said that there were assassins for me to avoid, I said there was no need. , most of it is Da Chanyu, and it sure is."
That is simply the most beautiful girl Chen Xing has ever seen in his life, although he has never met a few girls. I saw that the woman was dressed in a plain robe and did not apply any makeup. She was of the Xianbei race, with white skin like jade, beautiful eyebrows, slightly high cheekbones, and a hint of coldness.
"Princess Qinghe," Fu Jian said with a smile when he saw that Chen Xing was looking at her, "Have you heard of it?"
Chen Xing hurriedly nodded as a salute, his eyes were full of admiration, Fu Jian was open-minded by nature, and when he read it out, he praised the beauty of his favorite concubine.
Princess Qinghe led the palace staff to eat, and poured wine for Xiang Shu, Chen Xing, and Fu Jian, and then led the rest of the people out of the palace, leaving them to speak. Chen Xing saw Princess Qinghe whispering a few words to Tuoba Yan outside the hall, Tuoba Yan bowed and left, the door of the hall was closed, at this time Xiang Shu signaled Chen Xing to eat, and said to Fu Jian: "One year Before, the solitary king was investigating the matter, and he went south from Saibei and crossed the Yellow River all the way..."
Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu was an explanation to Chao Fujian, and was finally willing to explain it to himself.
How curious is Fu Jian at this moment about the relationship between Xiang Shu and Chen Xing? After taking a look at Chen Xing, his attention returned to Xiang Shu.
"Oh?" Fu Jian said, "That was after your father passed away."
"That's right." Xiang Shu raised his glass, drank with Fu Jian, and said, "I will take over the first year as a big chan."
Fu Jian frowned deeply, guessing that Xiang Shu suddenly broke into Weiyang Palace at this moment, and there must be a major warning. In fact, in the past few years, Hu people outside the Great Wall have moved into Guanzhong one after another, and Hu and Han have been living together. Only a few tribes who do not go to their hometown are still nomadic to the north of the Great Wall. This part of the people counted, only adult men, nearly a hundred thousand, not a small number, but also not a lot.
Xiang Shu took over from his father at the age of sixteen, but disappeared in the second year. Fortunately, for the ministries outside the Great Wall, Dadanyu was used to Xianyun Yehe, and disappearing for a few years would not cause any major problems. Only Fu Jian had not yet received the golden gift of purple scroll from Xiang Shu, but he was very anxious to find his whereabouts.
"On the south bank of the Liaohe River, the Valennu tribe was wiped out overnight," Xiang said.
Fu Jian was reminded of this, and immediately remembered: "A small tribe. Descendants of the East."
The Valennu tribe was a subordinate branch of the Xianbei, and the Han people collectively called it Donghu. Fu Jian naturally avoided it, but these tribes were not so important to him.
Xiang Shu added: "The cause of death was very strange, and they all turned into living corpses."
Chen Xing paused again, then raised his head and looked at Xiang Shu in disbelief.
"Oh?" Fu Jian asked inexplicably, "a living corpse?"
Xiang Shu replied: "The Han people call them '魃', and it is rumored that when the 魃 is born in the world, it will suffer a severe drought."
Xiang Shu heard this from the conversation between Chen Xing and Feng Qianjun on the way to Chang'an. Chen Xing was eating dinner, but his mind kept spinning. One thing was strung together—Xiang Shu's words finally Answered his questions along the way!
"Oh..." Fu Jian was dubious, obviously not understanding what Xiang Shu meant.
Before Fu Jian could respond, Xiang Shu added: "The murderer at that time fled south, and when I chased to the south, I was caught in his sorcery for some reason and lost all my strength. It happened that a Jin army found me and took me to the south. I was besieged in Guanzhong, and I was taken to Xiangyang to be imprisoned. After that, I was able to escape from prison when the city was broken."
Chen Xing: "…"
Xiang Shu's whereabouts gradually became clear in Chen Xing's mind. The accomplice of the mysterious man in black appeared as early as a year ago? ! What are the forces behind those men in black secretly plotting? Thousands of tribesmen were turned into corpses, and Xiang Shu set off south to investigate the matter. He was finally captured in the south and escorted to Xiangyang... No wonder he went alone to investigate the corpse in the mountain when he passed through Longzhong Mountain!
But Xiang Shu must have concealed something... In other words, he felt that there was no need to mention more to Fu Jian. Chen Xing began to plan, and then he had to talk to Xiang Shu in detail.
"After half a year, I was able to escape from prison due to misunderstanding and misfortune. I went north through Longzhong Mountain, but found a new..."
"Fortunately, you came out," Fu Jian smiled, "otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to Chile Gumeng."
"Prison disaster is second," Xiang Shu said again, "It's strange, I really can't figure it out..."
"Forget it," Fu Jian waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more, "Let's not talk about this for now, we'll talk about the trivial details later, and just come back."
Xiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not answer.
Chen Xing keenly felt Xiang Shu's sudden anger, and was interrupted twice by Fu Jian, and Xiang Shu stopped talking. The two sides were silent for a moment, as if they were thinking about something, Fu Jian smiled again: "During this period of time, you will stay in Chang'an and not leave."
Xiang Shu didn't answer, and Fu Jian added: "When it's summer, I'll make sacrifices to the sky and open a residence for you in Chang'an. Brother, there are too many things I want to tell you slowly."
Xiang Shu was still thinking about things, and his eyes showed complicated meanings. After Chen Xing finished eating, he observed Xiang Shu. Xiang Shu caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eyes, and immediately said loudly: "Come on!"
When someone entered outside the hall, Xiang Shu motioned: "Take him down and rest." Then he said to Fu Jian, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Chen Xing tidied up his clothes and hesitated: "Then, I..." Seeing that the palace servant made a "please" action, he was able to get out of the Dengming Palace, and a team of eunuchs was waiting, seeing that it was Da Shanyu beside him. People did not dare to neglect, and led him to the dormitory to rest.
As a result, just after taking three steps, there was a loud noise from the hall behind him. Chen Xing was startled and was about to turn his head when a group of eunuchs hurried up, crawling through the cracks of the door to look in, and occasionally heard Fu Jian angrily rebuke him. Voice. Chen Xing also wanted to peep one or two, but the eunuchs quickly waved their hands to indicate that there was nothing wrong, and sent him to the dormitory to rest.
This is the most comfortable place Chen Xing has slept in since he left Qinling. There are firewood and dragons under the ground of Fu Jian's palace. smoke. Washing utensils and hot cloth towels are readily available. A screen of beauty pictures blocks the entrance of the inside and outside. After the eunuchs retired, Chen Xing turned around and saw that there was a couch inside and outside the screen. He thought that he just didn't know if Xiang Shu would return to this room later, so he slept on the couch with his clothes on.
Da Shanyu... Chen Xing tossed and turned, thinking that Xiang Shu had revealed too much information to himself in front of Fu Jian. Looking at the relationship between Xiang Shu and Fu Jian, it seems that they are very close. In this way, the hope that he wants to recruit for the role of guardian has become increasingly slim...
Chen Xing waited left and right, but he didn't see Xiang Shu coming, so he simply fell asleep. He didn't know how long he slept. When he was in a daze, he heard the door of the hall slamming, and someone came up.
"Get up." Xiang Shu's voice said.
Chen Xing had to get up sleepily.
Xiang Shu stood, looked down at him, and stretched his arms a little.
Chen Xing slept in a daze, didn't understand what Xiang Shu meant, hug? So he got closer, hugged Xiang Shu's waist, and leaned against him.
Xiang Shu was startled, as if he had seen an idiot. He carried Chen Xing, pushed him aside, and said angrily, "Are you sick?"
Chen Xing suddenly woke up.
"What are you doing?!" Chen Xing said angrily, "Bullying me again!"
There was too much monitoring outside, so I hurried in and said, "Da Chan Yu, Da Chan Yu, I'll serve you." Xiang Shu, however, raised his hand impatiently, signaling everyone to go out. Only then did Chen Xing understand that Xiang Shu meant to let himself wait for him to change his clothes.
Chen Xing: "Why should I serve you?"
Xiang Shu's expression was very ugly, but Chen Xing suddenly noticed that there was a bruise on Xiang Shu's cheekbone, which was obviously a new injury, so he asked in surprise, "Did you fight with Fu Jian?"
Xiang Shu showed an impatient expression and sat down by the couch. Chen Xing was still sitting dazedly, so Xiang Shu had to change his clothes by himself, unbuttoning his belt, revealing his snow-white undershirt. Chen Xing thought to himself that I bought this dress for you. Seeing that Xiang Shu was obviously in a bad mood, he had to go up and hang up Xiang Shu's coat. He went over to make hot water, washed his face, and put the cloth in the copper basin. Throw it, splashing Xiang Shu's full lapel of water.
Item description: "… "
Chen Xing: "I don't know how to serve people, and I haven't served anyone before. Don't treat me as your little servant. If you want to drive me away, I'll go out now. Although you are a big danyu, I'm not afraid of you."
Xiang Shu took a deep breath and just wanted to beat him with his sleeves, but it was dignified and dignified to beat a young man who had no strength to hold a chicken. Is to roll aside to sleep.
Chen Xing climbed onto the other couch, and Xiang Shu said solemnly: "During this period of time, you are allowed to live in the palace. The condition is to find out one thing..."
Chen Xing faced the wall, covered the quilt, and lay still on his side.
Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing's back and said, "Where did the chaos come from, and who is behind it. Do you hear me?"
"I'm listening!" Chen Xing said impatiently.
The more Chen Xing thought about it, the more annoyed it became. Xiang Shu clearly didn't take him seriously, but when he thought about it, it was the truth. They were not relatives, and they were not qualified to issue orders to Xiang Shu. I'll check, but you'll have to help me if necessary."
Xiang Shu refused, "I don't have time to spare."
Chen Xing: "You..."
Chen Xing couldn't help turning over, he wanted to sneer at him, you are so amazing, aren't you locked in a prison under Xiangyang? If it wasn't for Lao Tzu to save you, you would probably be dead by now... But seeing Xiang Shu laying down in the night light, his handsome face was very good-looking. That's all I thought, anyway, it's the person I rescued by myself, so I'll blame me for being unlucky.
"You don't need to follow." Chen Xing said, "I need to check the Chang'an documents and records of the previous dynasty, and I have to investigate in the city. You and I can do it conveniently."
Xiang Shu didn't answer, Chen Xing knew that he heard it, so he turned to sleep.
This was the safest and warmest night he had slept in in the past few days. From winter to spring, he slept until the sun rose. Three or two peach blossoms bloomed in the courtyard of the palace, and Chen Xing was woken up by the murmur outside. For a moment, he thought that he was secretly sold to a market outside the Great Wall while he was sleeping. There was so much noise outside the hall that was separated by a screen, and the noise caused him to sit up in a jolt.
Xiang Shu had already changed his clothes, washed and had breakfast, and changed into a dark blue brocade robe, embroidered with gold thread on the robes, embroidered with totems of eagles, wolves, snakes, foxes, storks, bears, etc. Tied up with a braid of cows, he wears three gemstone rings on his left hand, a Tenglong dark gold belt around his waist, and black lacquer buckskin boots. On the couch in the middle of the hall, he stomped on the wooden table and faced the Hu people who were crowded and seated in the hall.
However, his appearance is really not rough, especially after repairing a handsome face, his complexion is fair and his red lips are rosy, like a brocade wrapped in a white jade statue, and there is no trace of the wildness of a warrior.
Chen Xing's snow-white single-clothes turned out of the screen, the noisy voices in the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the thin Han boy.
The two looked at each other for a short while, and Chen Xing immediately turned back to the screen to change clothes and wash. Hearing the voices coming from outside the screen, he roughly guessed that this group of people came to cry to Xiang Shu, and they belonged to different people outside the Great Wall. In addition to the Wuhu who have entered the customs, there are other powerful tribes, such as Tiele, Rouran, Shiwei, and many remote surnames that are not under the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu. These are more crude than the Wuhu in Guan. The barbarians are collectively referred to as "zahu" by the Han people.
Some of them are speaking in Xianbei dialect, but Chen Xing has learned Xianbei dialect. He heard that these dozens of Hu people are complaining about Fu Jian’s policy of respecting the Han and shunning Hu this year. To come forward, call the shots for the Hu people who migrated to Guannei. Even the words "overthrowing Fu Jian", "respecting Xiangshu as the communist of the north" and "rebuilding the country" came out.
Xiang Shu listened in silence and did not answer, Chen Xing thought to himself that these Hu people were really not afraid of death, and they dared to openly propose how to kill the emperor under Fu Jian's eyes. Chen Xing ate his own breakfast after serving it on a copper plate like dog food.
Chen Xing noticed that Xiang Shu had finished drinking the cup of milk tea, but he was tossing and turning in his hand, playing with the silver cup studded with gems.
"I want to go to Gongcao." Chen Xing suddenly said, but his voice was drowned in the noisy environment. Xiang Shu ignored him, but Chen Xing knew that he must have heard it. He stared at Xiang Shu, only to see Xiang Shu put on a trance and flicked the cup with his fingers.
"Xiang Shu!" Chen Xing called out a few times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and roared: "Shu Lukong!"
Xiang Shu finally spoke and shouted impatiently, "Who are you talking to?!"
Xiang Shu's voice was like a thunderbolt, and a group of people in the hall were suddenly shocked. All the old and young Hu people saw that Chen Xing dared to be so rude. Is this okay? Immediately, those who drew their knives drew their knives, and those who drew out their daggers shouted loudly. They came around and lit up their weapons, and put them on Chen Xing's neck.
Chen Xing: "…"
Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing provocatively and raised his brows slightly. He thought he would immediately confess and beg for mercy, but Chen Xing was not afraid at all.
"Where did this Han man come from!"
"Kill kill!" Someone immediately put a dagger on Chen Xing's neck and turned to Xiang Xiang while drawing a picture, "Is it okay to kill?"
"Not good!" Chen Xing said angrily at the man like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, "I'm busy!"
He has never been afraid of death, after all, for a person who knows that he has a few years left to live, many things are not important.
"I'm going to Gong Cao to check the list of the relics of the former residence during the renovation of Chang'an." Chen Xing said patiently.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" Xiang Shu said coldly.
Chen Xing: "You are their big unit, not mine. As you said last night, if you want me to help, you have to provide me with assistance."
Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing for a moment with a dangerous meaning, and finally made a gesture to send off a group of barbarians surrounded by Chen Xing, who were arguing with swords, and said solemnly: "Come here."
A guard of the Imperial Guard came in immediately, and Chen Xing straightened his robes with a displeased expression, got up and followed.
