Three Kingdoms

In the mansion of the Han Hussar General, in the festival hall.

Pang Tong swallowed.

There is no doubt that Fei Qian is no longer the stupid young man he used to be in Heluo. Controlling these details has almost become an instinct for him.

Normally, Pang Tong's thinking is closer to Fei Qian himself.

But this time there was obviously some deviation.

Pang Tong was startled for a moment, then sighed slightly, lowered his head and said, "My lord, please forgive me... I... Alas, there is a letter from Wancheng... It is said that my father is in trouble, and it is difficult to get medicine... I'm afraid it will be half a year later." Will……"

Pang Degong is in poor health?

Fei Qian was a little stunned.

Didn't Hua Tuo go there some time ago?

Fei Qian frowned and said, "Pang Gong?" Why didn't you tell Yu? What about Baiyi Clinic? Go and tell Hua Tuo to come! 』

However, Fei Qian also knew that Hua Tuo was not omnipotent.

Hua Tuo was helpless with many diseases.

Hua Tuo is not like in myths and legends, who can live the dead with human flesh and white bones.

"No need..." Pang Tong waved his hand and stopped the guards from going to the Hundred Medical Center, "Congfu... I specifically said in the letter that Congfu... doesn't want to bother..."

Mr. Pang De was already old and suffering from rheumatism. Although this disease is said to be chronic, it is very painful.

Even Fei Qian himself feels sore, swollen and uncomfortable every time the weather changes from rain to rain or the seasons change.

As we get older, our immunity declines, and various diseases naturally appear.

Moreover, the big man currently does not have any painkillers, let alone chemical drugs, hormones, etc.

"No, I have to go to Wancheng..."

Fei Qian stood up and wanted to walk out, but was held back by Pang Tongyi.

"Lord, you can't leave... If you leave, what will happen to Qinglong Temple, what will happen to the Western Regions, what will happen to Jiankun, and this Buddhist monk... My father specifically told me to hide it from you..." Pang Tong pulled him. Fei Qian said, "My lord, you really cannot leave me lightly!" 』

Fei Qian was stunned, and then gradually broke away from his initial emotions and began to think about the matters he faced in the current reality.

"The mountain people...the mountain people are ready to go back," Pang Tong said. "It's enough for the mountain people to go back... There are also people from the Baiyi Medical Center in Wancheng, although their medical skills are not as good as those of Hua Zhang and others." , but due to my father’s illness...even Hua Zhang...』

Fei Qian sighed.

Indeed.

He couldn't leave.

Even if he arrived in Wancheng, he would not be able to cure his illness, and he would not be able to do anything for Pang Degong.

Fei Qian didn't know anything about herbal medicine. At most, he just urged the doctor next to him.

What's the use? Even without Fei Qing standing by to urge him, the doctors in Wancheng would definitely be doing their best.

Although Fei Qian is a time traveler, he has no way to deal with this type of disease. It is said that nowadays, even in later generations, there are many types and causes of rheumatism. Most of them are not symptomatic, or the root cause has not been found, and most of them have no particularly effective treatments. Moreover, many of the drugs used to treat rheumatism do not actually treat the cause of the disease, but reduce the inflammation caused by the disease and play an analgesic role, so that the patient can feel more comfortable...

"That can't be just like this..." Fei Qian frowned.

Pang Tong was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "The doctor is here to take care of you at any time... Within half a year, it's still... half a year later... it depends on fate..."

Fei Qian also sighed, "What about you?" Do you want to go back? 』

Pang Tong closed his eyes, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, "I... I am only a son after all... My father won't let me go back... I guess some mountain people will go back, that's enough..."

"Congzi?" Fei Qian frowned slightly as he looked at Pang Tong, who seemed to feel some self-pity.

How could Mr. Pang De treat him differently just because he was a parent or not?

Is it possible that Pang Tong was trapped in his emotions just like he was just now and failed to truly understand what Mr. Pang De meant? But if you say it so directly, I'm afraid it won't have any effect.

The authorities are obsessed with it, most of the time.

Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal conditions in this world. Young people basically don't think about these things. Middle-aged people are gradually exposed to them. When they are old, they face them almost every day.

No one can avoid it, no one can escape it.

Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, frowned, and suddenly thought of something...

Fei Qian stood up, walked forward, patted Pang Tong, "Come on, I'll take you out for a walk." 』

It was Pang Tong who was attacking Fei Qian just now, and now it is Fei Qian's turn to attack Pang Tong.

"Why don't you go climbing?" Pang Tong suddenly trembled, and then added, "The main reason is that I don't have the heart to climb..."

Fei Qian nodded, "Don't crawl." Let's go. 』

The two of them left the General's Mansion and headed all the way to Lishan Mountain, causing Pang Tongyi to look askance at Fei Qian on the way.

As a result, Fei Qian did not go up the mountain, but stopped at a place south of the Weishui River and north of Lishan Mountain.

Pang Tong looked around and saw nothing special.

This is a large piece of wasteland. Because it is not close to a canal, irrigation is inconvenient, so there are only some farmlands on the side of the Weishui River. The distance is far away, and there are basically no cultivated acres near Lishan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, only some weeds and shrubs. , sparsely scattered.

"Here..." Fei Qian stepped on his feet, "The First Emperor is down there..."

"Aha?" Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then looked down.

At this time, the spring weather is getting warmer, the grass is growing, and the orioles are flying. Green grass grows everywhere, and from time to time, some small insects such as grasshoppers are disturbed by Fei Qian and Pang Tong and jump through the grass.

"under? ” Pang Tong stamped his feet twice, as if he couldn’t believe it, and then looked back at the huge mound of earth, “Is it here? Not in that mausoleum? 』

Later generations thought that it was only in modern times that someone discovered the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, but in fact this was not the case.

In the Han Dynasty, some people had already guessed it.

Sima Laoguan simply wrote in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin", "The First Emperor was buried in Lishan Mountain in September"...

In addition, the Han Dynasty succeeded the former Qin Dynasty not long ago, and actually wanting to know where the First Emperor was was not as difficult as later generations imagined. Although there are many rumors that Qin Shihuang finally killed the craftsmen who built the tomb for burial, but in fact, even if those craftsmen were killed, it could not ensure that the location would not be exposed. After all, there are always traces of such a large project.

Liu Bang even said that after the Six Kingdoms, including the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, many of the previous kings and grandsons had died, so he specially sent people to guard their tombs. As for Wei Gongzi Wuji, each of his five families ordered them to pay attention to their tombs and return to death to take care of them. 』

This may be the earliest full-time tombkeeper personally arranged by the state.

Therefore, it is simply a joke to say that the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not know where the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was.

Even in the subsequent feudal dynasties, many people knew that this was the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Taizu of the Song Dynasty also issued a similar edict, ordering the officials in the Sanfu of Chang'an to pay special attention to these imperial mausoleums, which also mentioned the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin.

Fei Qian took a few steps forward, holding his hands behind his back.

The clouds in the sky are floating slowly.

The wind is clear.

Grass trail.

"By the way, Shi Yuan," Fei Qian said, "why do you think the Han Emperor didn't dig Qin's tomb?" 』

Pang Tong slowly walked to Fei Qian's side, pondered for a moment and then said, "Maybe it's because of the Qin people?" 』

Fei Qian nodded, and then said, "What about Afang Palace?" Why did Xiang Yu burn? 』

"Afanggong?" ” Pang Tong fell into deep thought.

Well, speaking of Liu Bang coming out of Sichuan and Shu, it took him three months to pacify the third assistant in Guanzhong. This efficiency must make Brother Zhu cry and faint in the toilet when he thinks about it...

The most critical factor for Liu Bang's successful entry into Guanzhong was not Liu Bang himself, nor Liu Bang's men, but the Qin people who were originally in Guanzhong. The reason why Liu Bang's forces were able to receive Qin's related inheritance in an orderly and systematic manner was mostly because Liu Bang made a three-chapter agreement and received support and assistance from the Qin people.

Even the ones who killed Xiang Yu in the end, well, and snatched Xiang Yu's body, were from Qin, not Liu Bang's original men.

Liu Bang had no grudges against Qin Shihuang.

During Liu Bang's travels, he once admired and praised Qin Shihuang, standing on the roadside and tutting his tongue with gleaming eyes.

Xiang Yu burned Epang Palace. Some people said that Xiang Yu wanted to rob money. They said that Epang Palace was so splendid and splendid, and it was full of stars and makeup mirrors. The green clouds are disturbing, and the servant girl is combing in the morning. The Wei River is swollen and greasy, and the fat water is discarded. "The smoke is slanting and the mist is horizontal, and the peppers and orchids are burning." It sounds like he saw it with his own eyes and visited the Epang Palace in person. However, in fact, when Xiang Yu burned the Epang Palace, the Epang Palace had not yet been built. It’s just a large construction site that’s not yet completed!

That idiot emperor would stuff all his family, including the young, the young, the concubines, and the concubines into a large unfinished construction site? Even if you can't wait for the work to be completed and are anxious like a hammer, you probably know how noisy the construction site is, with the endless clanging and clanging, making it uncomfortable to live there.

I'm afraid Lao Du himself won't live at the construction site!

So Lao Du just used a metaphor. As a result, many people in later generations were misled by Lao Du, thinking that the Epang Palace was so splendid. In fact, if you carefully study the environment after the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, you will know that the Qin Dynasty actually had few resources left at that time.

After Qin unified the six kingdoms, it attacked the Xiongnu in the north and the Baiyue in the south. It also had to drive on the same road, cars on the same track, and books with the same text. It also had to dig tombs, build the Great Wall, and build palaces. This undoubtedly consumed a lot of energy. Family background, so it is said that in Afang Palace there are those gold and silver treasures described by classmate Lao Du? Only a fool would believe it?

Therefore, there is nothing at all in Afang Palace.

So when Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace, there was no reason for greed for money or lust, or to rob treasures. In later generations, pirates and smugglers from the Eight Kingdoms entered the garden and plundered it. It was a garden that had been built for many years, but no one was seen beating their chests and hating the garden. I don't particularly emphasize the causal relationship, but I cling to the half-finished Afang Palace that Xiang Yu burned, and I often have to test the last paragraph when reciting the full text. What's the purpose?

Just because the articles written by Lao Du are good?

Why did Lao Du write that article?

So why do some people say that Lao Du’s writing is good?

For ordinary people, they can't think too much about everything, and the rare lake is naturally the best.

It's a pity that Fei Qian can't do it. He has to think about it. If he chooses the rare lake, then there will be a lake underneath.

Fei Qian nodded and asked, "Then why didn't Xiang Yu dig up the Qin Mausoleum, but chose to burn the Epang Palace?" 』

"He didn't dare either. Pang Tong sighed and said, "Xiang Yu was in a dilemma and had no choice but to burn down Epang Palace." 』

Of course, there is also a theory that Xiang Yu wanted to dig the Qin Emperor's tomb, but failed to do so. One of the reasons why the excavation was not successful was that it was not found, and the other was that it was blocked by the Lao Qin people. It's a bit of a lie if we haven't found it. After all, Qin Shihuang hadn't been buried for long at that time, and the plants around the mausoleum couldn't immediately grow like other natural environments. If you really want to find it, you can probably find it, so if There is a reason why Xiang Yu really wanted to dig the tomb but failed, so the latter possibility is more likely.

Fei Qian nodded and said, "Yes, the difficulties all lie in the human heart. 』

People's hearts.

Everything will change through the ages, only the human heart remains unchanged.

Great people's hearts are still great, and despicable people's hearts are still despicable.

As a house where people go to achieve blissful reincarnation, the mausoleum held a status in people's hearts no less than their own homes at that time. The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is a symbol in the heart of the old Qin people, and it is also a benchmark for other forces in the world to observe the Han's attitude towards themselves. Preserving the Qin Mausoleum shows the Han's broad mind and broadmindedness, making everyone believe that the Han will use the greatest sincerity and measure. Come to receive them and rule over them.

Liu Bang's army that marched into Guanzhong, in addition to his own old subordinates, was a small number of people recruited from Sichuan and Shu, such as Shi people, Ba people, etc.

Liu Bang came from a lower-middle-class background, and was a knight-errant. The early core of his supporters were the Peixian Group, none of which had a hereditary Yin title. Those who joined later, such as Han Xin, Chen Ping, and Zhang Er, were mostly shackles. Liu Bang's support group basically did not exist. There are many hereditary nobles in the Six Kingdoms. Although there are those who have sworn hatred against Qin in Liu Bang's base, they are not many. Liu Bang can ignore the voices of the few leftovers from the Six Nations within the ruling group and concentrate on using the political legacy of the old Qin. Maximize your own interests.

Xiang Yu was born into a noble family. Although he encountered the objective circumstances of the demise of the Chu Kingdom, the prestige and power left by his father and ancestors still allowed Xiang Yu to enjoy the life of a master. At the same time, the capital of the Xiang family to raise an army was mainly the disciples of the Xiang family and Descendants of Chu nobles.

The Xiang Jiajun, which originated from the old Chu army, is actually another replica of the Chu army. Yin Songyi, the original commander of the Chu State, and Xiang Liang were both generals. This made the Xiang Jiajun filled with a large number of old soldiers from the Six Kingdoms. Nobles, these people are the core strength of Xiang Jiajun. Although many of these people come from aristocratic families and professional martial arts, have received systematic training, and their quality and level are much higher than those of the early Liu Bang group. However, the old nobility of the Six Kingdoms relies on the feudal monarchy system. A deformed product of evil, a unified country will inevitably harm the interests of these local snakes who have censored their territory.

Therefore, Xiang Yu's origin, background, and supporting forces determine that it is absolutely impossible for him to make a three-part agreement like Liu Bang. The main purpose of the princes' army led by Xiang's army entering the Pass is to take revenge, destroy Qin's rule, and restore their own monarchy system. Live a life of independent local snakes.

Under such circumstances, Xiang Yu chose to burn Epang Palace.

In fact, Xiang Yu's behavior did not please the queens of these six kingdoms, nor was it recognized by the Qin people in Guanzhong.

Trouble in both places.

So when Liu Bang came out, the Qin people immediately switched sides in an uproar, and the troops of the Six Nations did not have much fighting spirit.

"What we are doing now is to find a new way out of the two dilemmas..." Fei Qian stepped on his feet, not knowing whether he was knocking on Emperor Qin's door or stepping on the soil of the Han family, "This road , it’s even more difficult than Xiang Yu’s time... Fortunately, Shiyuan, you are here to help..."

Pang Tong cupped his hands, his expression relaxed slightly, and he exhaled slightly.

"In this world, there were only tribes at first, but then I felt that the tribes were not famous. Even they had princes. Later, the princes also stopped. They just wanted to be kings. After being kings for a long time, this old man created an emperor..." Fei Qian lowered his head and rubbed his feet, "Then Emperor Xiaowu was not even satisfied with the emperor, and wanted to make an emperor... Actually speaking, this is where the bad thing happened... Inaction is not inaction, but don't do anything randomly. ...』

"who? Emperor Qin, Xiaowu? Pang Tong asked.

Fei Qian nodded, "In ancient times, China fought with heaven and earth... Look at the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, what did they believe in?" Gods return to gods, witches return to witches, and humans return to humans. As a result, when Emperor Qin came here, he had to add himself in, and then everyone was no longer human... The same is true for Xiaowu, the emperor, haha, of course, most of Xiaowu himself didn't believe it, But once he does this, his descendants will believe it..."

"When Emperor Gaozu chose the King of Hanzhong, he focused on the land of Sichuan and Shu, and then used people from the land of Sichuan and Shu to connect with the people of the old Qin... What did he rely on step by step? It’s better to rely on people..." Fei Qian said slowly, "On the other hand, what did Xiang Yu do during the time when Gaozu was away? Later, Xiaowu abandoned Huang Lao... and followed the First Emperor to seek Zen status..."

"So what we are doing now..." Pang Tong glanced at Fei Qian and said with some surprise, "It's just to straighten things out... No, the lord asked me to come here... Isn't it just for these things? 』

Because Pang Tong's head began to think, and after turning around, he got rid of the emotional obstacles, "My lord, what are you..."

Fei Qian smiled and nodded.

Pang Tong fell silent, looked at the land under his feet, looked at the huge dirt bag in the distance, and then said after a while: "I understand." 』

"Do you really understand? Fei Qian asked.

"The dead, even if they are emperors, are just dead. No matter how big a palace or mausoleum is built, there is no guarantee. There is no guarantee that the palace will be burned down, and there is no guarantee that one's own mausoleum will be dug... This is true for emperors, let alone ordinary people? Pang Tong raised his head and looked at the sky, "What can be left behind is the inheritance...the inheritance of Huang Lao's way. I think...my father definitely doesn't want me to go back...rather than be a person in front of his bed." As a filial son, he must hope that I can pass on and expand the teachings of Huang Lao for generations to come... This is my father's lifelong wish... Inheritance is the most important thing..."

Inheritance is Chinese civilization.

"Cong's father never came out of the mountain or became an official, not because his father didn't want to, but because neither the previous court nor Liu Jingsheng who later came to Jingxiang were people willing to use the methods of Huang and Lao... They just wanted to use I just follow my father's reputation..." Pang Tong's voice was calm, but his eyes gradually became moist, "I follow my father... I follow my father... It's for Mr. Huang, and it's also for me..."

Pang Tong seemed to be trying to hold back the tears, but failed in the end. He closed his eyes and let the tears fall down his cheeks.
