Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: The Lonely King

Flat a sound of thunder, big, single, in! Chen Xing searched for the name 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 Dashanyu was said to have originated from the Xiongnu people, meaning the monarch of the Hu tribes. However, just after Liu Yuan led the Xiongnu into the customs and the country was called Han and Zhao, Dashanyu became a virtual title to win over the Hu people outside the city, only a position, but no real power. After the collapse of the Han and Zhao dynasties and the extermination of the Xiongnu Liu family, Ran Min established the State of Wei and gave his son the title of Dashanyu to rule the Hu. After the fall of Ran Wei, the northern Hu had been fed up with the mutual attacks of the Hu people in the Guan, and they re-established the alliance under the blood of the Zhulechuan, called the "Zhulegu Alliance", and nominated a big single Yu, which was the Shul family of the Tile people. Since then, Dashanyu has become the titular chief of the Hu, and naturally commands the Five Hu. The Central Plains court of all ethnic groups you sang my debut, the dragon chair took turns to sit, but still can not ignore the Great Wall inside and outside, the role of the big single. In addition to the Di, Ji, Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu, there were many nomads outside the Sai, and the ethnic groups were still headed by their chiefs and ordered by their chiefs. But each group could not work together, after all, for a long time, where they lived, their interests were entangled in many divisions, and they often fought fiercely within their own tribe. The main purpose of the Edict League was to mediate and even suppress internal and external disputes between the tribes. And more importantly, even if the five Hu enters the customs life, the blood and foundation of the ancestors are still outside the jam. When the move into the customs, the family debate, how all things to the new for the old is the right way, the elderly elders of all ethnic groups have been unable to stop the people to give up habitat to move to the customs, and unwilling to lose the power in their hands, so put forward the big simple, but also quite contain the Central Plains of the meaning. Whether Han Zhao or Ran Wei, including the current Qin state, and the Murong Yan State that was put down by Fu Jian's Fu Jian, there was a ceremony that was determined not to go around - that is, waiting for the north of the Great Wall, the nominal Hu leader, Dashan, came to the emperor to grant a roll of blood calligraphy, parchment bound with a gold belt, in order to show the loyalty of all the troops inside and outside the fortress. This process is also called "purple rolling" because the sheepskin used for the blood ceremony will show a lavender color. Even if the rule of the foreign emperor after entering the customs is stable, it can not ignore this process. And it is precisely because of this that the emperor himself rarely serves as a big single in the position, after all, no one wants to grant himself the purple scroll, otherwise it will become a joke of the Hu. In the middle of the Ran Wei Dynasty, Fu Shan Yu was a virtual title, but not necessarily for Fu Jian. When Fu's family served as the chief of Xirong for generations, he had to rely on the strong help of Fu Shan Yu Shu Song when he won the Guanzhong area. The allied forces not only limited the enemy for Fu's family, but also became a powerful chess piece in the hands of Fu Hong. The Fu family even gave allegiance to the Jin for a short time, and gained Dachanyu's acquiescence to stand firm. Fu Jian founded the state of Qin, and after his death his son Fu Sheng succeeded him, Fu Jian was made King of East China Sea. Fu Sheng was reckless and violent, and acted in reverse, so the civil war broke out in Daqin, and Dashan united with all the departments of Shu Lu Wen to restrain Fu Sheng's army for Fu Jian. In the end, Fu Jian could acquire half of the northern part of the river and mountains, and in addition to his own talents, the Fu Jian family outside the Great Wall was the most important. And Chen Xing is never expected, from the city of Xiangyang inadvertently rescued from the guardian law, the identity is actually the successor of the law family! Fu Jian is laughing, taking the shoulder of a statement, will welcome him into the den Ming hall, a statement as if used to, with a place, let Chen Xing sit. "Give me something to eat," said Xiang Shu. "I haven't eaten at this time for lunch. I'm hungry." Fu Jian immediately dismissed the officials in the temple and let people pass the meal. Tuobayan and Chen Xing the same blank, you look at me, I look at you, Chen Xing eyes showed fear, gently waving his hand, indicating that he also did not know. Dengming Hall was Fu Jian's place of criticism. This Qin emperor shouldered great responsibility in order to govern the north, even though few people understood him, he did his best, and most of the three meals were used in the hall. At this time, Murong Chong has been awarded the title of Pingyang Taishou, to take office. After Murong Chong left his side, Fu Jian rarely saw even the concubines in the harem, devoting himself to political affairs most of the time. "You have disappeared from the human world for a whole year," Fu Jian said, "I have sent letters to look everywhere for your whereabouts!" Wine soon came up, Xiangshu drank some, replied: "This is life is too short, it's a long story." Learn from me! Learn from me! Chen Xing thought. Fu Jian made a gesture indicating that Tuobayan would go down and not have to guard it, and there were three men and a eunuch left in the hall. "Who is this little brother?" Fu Jian looked at Chen Xing with interest and said, "It has not yet been introduced." "The child picked up on the road," Xiang said, "look beautiful, by the way to bring you as a face, but it is a pity that it is a mute." "You..." Chen Xing suddenly turned to item Shu, item Shu and added: "You are not dumb?" Fu Jian is a burst of laughter, Chen Xingchao declared: "Xiang Shu! Why didn't you tell me you were Da Shan Yu?" Xiang Shu replied coldly, "What am I, what does it matter to you?" In any case, it is not the protection of the law." Fu Jian to Chen Xing smiled and said: "How did you two know each other?" What the hell did Shilukong say? This man wants to arrange me for you." Chen Xing has been completely convinced, wait, this man is not Fu Jian? Am I talking to Fu Jian, Emperor of Qin? ! Too many things had happened that night, so that his mind was confused, and he did not know what to ask. At that time, another beauty came in with several palace officials, and upon seeing Xiang Shu, he said lightly: "Just now the palace was in uproar, and the subordinates also said that there was an assassin who asked me to take shelter, I said no need, most of it was Dashanyu coming, and I saw it." She was the most beautiful girl Chen Xing had ever seen in his life, even though he hadn't seen many girls. I saw that the woman was dressed in a plain robe, without applying powder, but a fresh poor race, with skin as white as jade, eyebrows as beautiful as day, cheekbones slightly high, with a hint of cool charm. "Princess Qinghe," Fu Jian said with a smile when he saw Chen Xing looking at her, "Have you ever heard of it?" Chen Xing busy nod for the ceremony, eyes full of praise, Fu Jian nature open, read this is to praise their pet beauty, like the beloved thing was rewarded, immediately very comfortable. Princess Qinghe led the palace men to eat, and personally poured wine for Xiang Shu, Chen Xing and Fu Jian, and then all the rest of the men withdrew from the hall, leaving them to talk. Chen Xing saw Princess Qinghe outside the hall to Tuobayan whisper a few words, Tuobayan bowed down, went, the door closed, at this time, Xiang Shu only signaled Chen Xing to eat, Fu Jian said: "A year ago, the king traced a thing, from the north south, a passing the Yellow River..." Chen Xing know that this is toward Fu Jian account, also finally willing to explain to themselves, a meal, decided not to ask, anyway, hungry, eat again. How curious was Fu Jian about the relationship between Xiang Shu and Chen Xing at this moment? First looked at Chen Xing, attention to return to the item. 'Oh? Fu Jian said, "It was after your father died of illness." "That's right." Xiang Shu drank with Fu Jian and said, "Take over the big Shan in the first year." Fu Jian frown deep lock, guess at this moment suddenly broke into Weiyang Palace, there will be a big warning. In fact, in these years, the Hu people from outside the Fortress have moved into Guanzhong, Hu and Han mixed, and the influence of Dashanyu is no longer than that. Only the individual tribes that do not go to the hometown are still nomadic north of the Great Wall. This part of the people counted, only adult men, nearly a hundred thousand, not small, but also determined not much. Item Shu 16 years old from his father to take over the big single in the position, but in the second year will disappear, fortunately for the outside of the ministry, big single in the idle clouds and wild cranes used to disappear for a few years will not cause any big problems. Only Fu Jian has not taken over from the hands of the item purple, it is very anxious to find his whereabouts. "On the southern bank of the Liao River, the Valenu clan was exterminated overnight." Item description. Reminded of this, Fu Jian immediately remembered: "A small tribe. Descendants of the Eastern people." The Vannu Department was a branch of Xianbei, collectively called East Hu by the Han people, and Fu Jian naturally avoided it, but such tribes were not so important to him. Xiang Shu said: "The cause of death is very strange, all turned into a living corpse." Chen Xing is another meal, then look up, can not believe to look at the item. 'Oh? Fu Jian inexplicably asked, "living corpse?" Xiang Shu replied, "The Han people call them 'Devils', and it is rumored that the world will produce a great drought for years." This is on the way to Chang 'an, from Chen Xing and Feng Qianjun dialogue to hear, Chen Xing eating dinner, but in the mind, one thing was strung together - the words finally answered his questions along the way! "Oh..." Fu Jian was skeptical and apparently did not understand the meaning of Xiang Shu. Waiting for Fu Jian to respond, Xiang Shu said again: "The murderer fled to the south at that time, when I chased him to the south, I did not know why I was struck by his magic, and all my strength was lost. It happened that a Jin army found me, trapped me in Guanzhong, and then took me to Xiangyang to be imprisoned, and then through a strange combination of circumstances, I escaped from prison when the city was destroyed." Chen Xing: "..." The whereabouts of the item in Chen Xing's mind gradually became clear, that the black mysterious man's accomplice, as early as a year ago has appeared? ! What are the forces behind the men in black plotting? Thousands of the tribe were transformed into living bodies, and in order to pursue this matter, Xiangshu set out for the south. Finally he was captured in the south and sent to Xiangyang... No wonder when passing through Longzhong Mountain, he will go alone to investigate the dead in the mountain! But it must be hiding something else... Or rather, he felt no need to mention it to Fu. Chen Xing began to plan, after a detailed talk with the item. "Half a year later, through a strange combination of circumstances, I was able to escape prison, and I went all the way north through Longzhong Mountain, but I found a new..." "Fortunately, you came out," Fu Jian said with a smile, "otherwise I really do not know how to explain to the Ancient League." "The disaster of prison is second," Xiang said, "which is strange, I really can not understand..." "That's all," Fu Jian waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say any more, "Let's not talk about this matter today, wait for the end of this branch, then resume, and come back." Xiang Shu slightly narrowed his eyes, but did not answer. Chen Xing keenly felt the sudden anger of the item, interrupted twice by Fu Jian, the item will no longer say. The two sides suddenly fell silent for a moment, as if planning something each, Fu Jian smiled again: "During this period of time, you will stay in Chang 'an and not go away." Xiang Shu did not answer, Fu Jian said again: "To enter the summer, when I pass the day, for you in Chang 'an open Fu, brother there are too many words want to talk to you slowly." Item description is still thinking about things, the eyes show a complex meaning, Chen Xing finished the meal, observe item description, item description out of the corner of the eye glimpsed him, immediately lang said: "bearer!" When a man came in from outside the temple, he motioned, "Take him down and rest." Immediately, Fu Jian said: "There is something to say this." Chen Xing sorted his clothes and hesitated: "That, I..." See palace people do a "please" action, so out of the Dengming hall, a team of eunuchs are waiting, see is the big single in the side of the people dare not neglect, lead him to sleep to rest. As a result, just three steps out, there was a loud noise in the hall behind him. Chen Xing was startled and was about to turn his head when a group of eunuchs went up in a hurry, raking the gap in the door to look in, and occasionally listening to Fu Jian's angry rebuke. Chen Xing also wanted to peep one or two, but the eunuchs quickly waved their hands to signal that nothing was wrong, and sent him to the temple to rest. This was the most comfortable place Chen Xing had slept since he left the Qinling Mountains, Fu Jian's palace had firewood under the ground, the room was warm, the bed smoked incense, the hall was bright, there was a screen in the center, the incense burner curled up smoke. Toiletries, hot cloth towels are ready, a beauty screen blocks the inside and outside two, the outside is for guests, and the inside is divided into a large and small host guest double bed. After the eunuchs retired, Chen Xing turned around and saw that there was a bed inside and outside the screen, thinking that he would only wonder if he would also return to this room later, so he lay down in his clothes on the couch. Greater than Chen Xing while tossing and turning, while thinking, in the face of Fu Jian, revealed too much information to himself. Look at the relationship with Fu Jian, it seems to be very close, so say, they want to solicit the protection of the position, hope has become increasingly dim... Chen Xing left and right, did not see the item to come, then simply sleep, I do not know how long sleep, is confused, suddenly listen to the temple door ringing, someone step in. "Get up." The voice said. Chen Xing had to get up sleepily. Xiang Shu stood, looked down at him, and extended his arms a little. Chen Xing sleep confused, did not understand the meaning of the item, hug? So he moved closer, hugged Xiang Shu's waist, and leaned on him. Xiang Shu startled, as if he had seen a fool, took Chen Xing, pushed him aside, and angrily said, "Are you sick?" Chen Xing suddenly woke up. "What are you doing? " Chen Xing said angrily, "Bully me again!" The eunuch outside heard the noise and rushed in, saying, "Da Shan is Da Shan Yu, I will serve you." Xiang Shu impatiently raised his hand, indicating that all go out. Chen Xing came to understand that the meaning of the item is to let himself wait on him to change clothes. Chen Xing: "Why should I serve you?" Xiangshu that expression is simply very ugly, Chen Xing suddenly found Xiangshu side cheek bone has a blue, apparently a new injury, then surprised: "You look for Fu Jian fight?" Item description impatient expression, sitting on the couch, Chen Xing still sitting at a loss, item description had to change their clothes, unbelt, showing the white clothes. Chen Xing thought that I had bought you these clothes, but seeing that Xiang Shu was obviously in a bad mood, he had to go up and hang up Xiang Shu's coat, go over and get hot water, wash his face, and throw the cloth into the copper basin, splashing Xiang Shu's skirt full of water. Item description: "..." Chen Xing: "I can't serve people, nor have I served people, don't treat me as your boy." You want me out? I'm leaving now. I am not afraid of you, though you are Dashunyu." Xiang Shu took a deep breath, just want to roll up his sleeves and beat him, can be a big single, beat a defense-free youth, more not very glorious, had to give up, so he pointed to another bed, meaning roll aside to sleep. Chen Xing climbed to another couch, and Xiang Shu said in a deep voice: "During this time, you are allowed to live in the palace." On condition that one thing is found out..." Chen Xing faces the wall, covers himself with the quilt and lies still on his side. Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing's back and said, "Where does the chaos come from, and who is behind it?" Do you hear me?" "I'm listening! Chen Xing impatient way. Chen Xing think more and more vexed, item description clearly did not take him as one thing, not think too carefully also the fact that they are not related, they are not qualified to give orders to item description, had to swallow it and say: "OK, know, I will check, but when necessary, you have to provide assistance for me." Item description but a rebuffed: "No time for this." Chen Xing: "You..." Chen Xing could not help but roll over and wanted to sarcastically say something to him, you are so great, are not locked up in the prison under Xiangyang? If I hadn't saved you, you'd be dead right now... But a look at the story lying flat in the dark, that handsome side face is very good-looking, a belly fire and disappeared, full of belly resentment scold not export. I thought it was just that, because I had saved the people myself, and it was my bad luck. "You don't have to follow." Chen Xing said, "I need to check the Chang 'an literature and records of the previous dynasties, and I have to investigate in the city, you and I can make it convenient." Xiang Shu also did not answer, Chen Xing knew that he had heard, and turned to sleep. It was the soundest and warmest night he had slept in days, and as winter turned to spring, he slept until the dawnThe peach blossom in the palace courtyard opened three or two, Chen Xing was awakened by the voice of the outside. For a moment he thought that he had been secretly sold in his sleep to some distant market, and there was so much noise outside the hall, separated by a screen, that he sat up. Xiang Shu has changed his clothes, washed and had breakfast, and changed into a dark blue brocade robe, which is embroidered with gold thread with eagle, Wolf, snake, fox, stork, bear and so on, the totem of sixteen Hu in the imperial Imperial League. He wore a brindle of ox hair, three rings of precious stones on his left hand, a dark gold belt of dragon, and long boots of black lacquer deerskin on his feet. His eyes were bright and black as stars, and his face was cold and lazy, and he was like a wild animal sitting on the couch in the middle of the hall, and he pushed on the wooden table, facing the crowded Hu people in the hall. However, his appearance is too rough, especially after repairing a handsome face, pale face, red lips, like satin wrapped in white jade, no half of the wild gas. Chen Xing a snow-white singlet turned out of the screen, the noisy noise in the hall suddenly a quiet, all eyes brush down on this thin Han young body. The two men looked at each other for a short moment, Chen Xing immediately turned back behind the screen to change clothes and wash, listening to the voices coming from outside the screen, roughly guessing that this group was coming to the court to complain, each belonging to different tribes outside the fortress, in addition to the Five Hu, which had already entered the customs, there were other tribes with greater power, such as Tiele, Rouran, Shiwei, and many remote names that were not governed by the Xiongnu. These barbarians, more savage than the five Hues in the Guan, were collectively called "miscellaneous Hu" by the Han people. One of them is speaking in the fresh humble language, Xianbei Chen Xing has learned, heard the dozens of Hu, but in the complaint of Fu Jian this year to respect the Han Hu policy, the unanimous hope that Xiang Shu in the identity of the big single head, for the resettlement of the Hu people in the Guan. Even the words "overthrowing Fu Jian", "honoring Xiang Shu as the Communist Lord of the North" and "re-establishing the nation" came out. Xiang Shu silent listening, also did not answer, Chen Xing heart Tao this group of Hu people really not afraid of death, dare to propose how to kill the emperor under the Fu Jian's eyes, and then around the screen, see a small case in the hall put their own breakfast, with a copper plate like dog food, Chen Xing will eat on their own. Chen Xing noticed that a cup of milk tea had been drunk, but the hand was turning over, playing with the silver cup studded with gems. "I want to go to the office." Chen Xing suddenly said, the voice was submerged in the noisy environment. Item description also ignored him, Chen Xing knew he must have heard, staring at item description, saw item description put on a trance appearance, fingers lightly played the next cup. "Description!" Chen Xing shouted several times, finally could not bear it anymore, and shouted angrily: "The law is empty!" Xiang Shu finally spoke and shouted impatiently, "Who are you talking to?" " The sound of the item is like thunder, and a group of people in the hall were suddenly startled, and all the old and little Hu people saw Chen Xing dare to be so rude, which also got? Immediately have the knife of the knife, out of the spoon of the spoon, loudly rebuked, around the light of the weapon, clearly on the neck of Chen Xing. Chen Xing: "..." Item Shu provocatively looked at Chen Xing, a little frown, thought he would immediately plead for mercy, did not think Chen Xing is not afraid. "Where did these Han people come from?" 'Kill, kill! Immediately someone put a dagger on Chen Xing's neck, while comparing paintings, while turning to Xiang Shu said, "Kill it?" 'No good! Like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, Chen Xing angrily said to the man, "Busy!" He had never been afraid of death, after all, for a man who knew full well that he had a few years to live, many things were not important. "I'm going to go to the office and look up the list of old residence sites in Chang 'an during renovation." Chen Xing said patiently. "Do you know who you're talking to?" Item description cold way. Chen Xing: "You are their big single, not mine, agreed last night, you want my help, you have to provide me with assistance." Item description with a dangerous meaning to look at Chen Xing for a moment, and finally made a gesture, dismissed around Chen Xing, a group of Hu people, Shen said: "bearer." Outside immediately came in a guard of the Forbidden Army, Chen Xing will be a face unhappy to tidy up the robe, got up and followed.
