Shu Chen

Chapter 2 Choice
In late spring in March, the drizzle was continuous, and it was warm and cold at first.

Outside the city of Shifang County, in the suburbs meandering by the Jianshui River and the Shiting River, the grass smoke on both sides is low.

The mournful and tactful Zigui cries, and the sound urges the mountains and trees to green, reminding that another year of spring ploughing is coming.

In the vertical and horizontal fields, young men and women can be seen everywhere with their whips and plows, and shouting at the oxen to turn the soil.The old husband and the peasant woman bowed their waists among the young seedlings, caring for the hope of this year's food.

Many drooping children are not afraid of the cold spring water at all.

With bare feet, he sometimes digs wild vegetables on the smoky ridge, and sometimes jumps into a small puddle to touch the loach.While the clothes and face are covered with mud, the laughter is also planted in people's hearts.

It was the second year of Jianxing, AD 224.

Thanks to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's retreat to save the people and urging the prefectures and counties to farm and cultivate the valleys, the sad cloud that made the battle of Yiling defeated in the past and the mansion of the city that made the emperor Liu Bei's great travel have been quietly sealed in the memory of people as time goes by.

The prosperous Bashu has regained its vitality again.

Hidden in the mulberry forest in the Zhengjiabie Garden, where the creek is gurgling, Zheng Pu wears a green bamboo hat on his head and a green scalloped coat.

Looking from a distance, it seems like Yaxing who does not need to return to the wind and drizzle.

Looking closer, he saw that he was frowning slightly, his star eyes half-closed, his face full of thought.

This kind of scene is not surprising to the people of Zhengjiabiyuan.

Everyone knows that Zheng Jia Erlang has become calm and elegant since he got rid of his clothes, and he is no longer frivolous as he used to be.

In fact, it's because his soul came from more than 1000 years later.

The time for the soul to wear was the serious illness that happened more than a year ago.

After experiencing surprise, panic, and at a loss when he first arrived, he was a little hesitant about the future after he had calmed down and figured out what year it was.

It's not that he is worried about the safety of Shifang Zheng's family.

Since the elder brother Zheng Yan tried to serve as the magistrate of Hande County in Zitong County, he has been diligent in administration and fair, loved by officials and people, and has a good reputation.As long as you persevere, it will be easy to inherit the official family of the Zheng family to [-] stone in the future.

It's not about worrying about food and clothing in the future.

The Zheng family lived in the middle of Shu, cultivated and studied the heirloom, and was a big family in Shifang County, and the family's industry was quite rich.

Even if Zheng Du sent his eldest son out of his step-dead brother and divided the Zheng family's property, there were several hectares of fertile land belonging to Zheng Pu, hundreds of mulberry trees and more than a hundred servants and tenants, and the mother's family acted for the benefit of the merchants. , it can be said that there is surplus silk inside and there is winning money outside.

What really made him undecided was how to choose his future when he knew the historical trajectory.

As the soul of later generations, after being nurtured by thousands of years of Chinese civilization and inheritance, knowing the rule of dynasties changing after long-term unity and long-term unity is the wheel of history rolling forward, whether the Three Kingdoms stand upright, or the three families return to Jin, it is a habit in cognition. In order to accept this is the general trend of the torrent of history, it is the end of the coffin.

There is no possibility of change or distortion in everything.

Whether it is admiration for Wei Wu's demeanor in whipping Yu Nei, or admiration for the tenacity of the First Sovereign in the end, or curious about the perfect transformation of "children should be like Sun Zhongmou" and "Sun Shiwan".I got used to it from the bottom of my heart, and treated these ancient people as a kind of talk, and only used their true temperament to laugh and scold after a meal.

But now, the identity has suddenly changed into a "participant" in this history, and there will inevitably be a psychological gap.

In other words, eager to look ahead and look back.

The boy has a heroic dream in his heart.

Zheng Pu also longed to be a hero who turned the tide in the prosperous years.

For example, relying on the family background of a noble family and the help of his father's reputation, he embarked on an official career, and with more than 1000 years of knowledge, he fought for the restoration of the Han Dynasty in the Kingdom of Shu, hoping to "put an end to the affairs of the king and win the name before and after his life."

It's just that reason also reminds him of a very skinny fact.

The biggest reason for the demise of Shu and Han was that after the three pillars of the world were established, Cao Wei's national power was crushed by seven points.

The all-rounder Zhuge Liang is unable to reverse the pros and cons; in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person who ran around all day long for silver coins. Can a miracle be born just by being familiar with the historical trajectory?
Perhaps, wishful thinking, just a joke in exchange for a man's arm blocking the car!
And if you choose to watch the progress of history from the sidelines, the future can be expected.

For example, like his ancestor Zheng Du, who lived in seclusion and ignored the world, supported the widowed mother's old and raised young sisters, Hao Shou studied scriptures and learned to raise his reputation, and when he went with the tide and entered the Wei Dynasty, he might be able to make his family better. The nine-grade Zhongzheng system is divided into middle grades.

If you feel that life is boring, you can invite good friends to sit down and meet friends in high mountains and flowing water; or you can have a long scroll of green lights in the study, and the pen and ink can swallow everything in the world; or you can spend your life in the courtyard with flowers, birds, insects and fish.Enjoying the pleasure of traveling in the mountains and rivers, greed for food and appetite, and the sound of silk and bamboo, and then use the family property to buy a few more maidservants with crooked eyebrows and white teeth, and read books at night with red sleeves.

On the top, it can add to the reputation of the family, in the middle, it can be full of filial piety, and in the bottom, you can enjoy a leisurely life; although you are mediocre, you can also put your hands up and look up to the sky when you meet people. The preciousness of the hermit shows the romance of the hermit.

Isn't it beautiful to live like this!
Both the descendants of Yan and Huang, why bother to become an accomplice in the tragedy of "the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster in a thousand miles" for the orthodox battle in the dust of history?

In fact, when he heard the news about Liu Bei's big business last year, Zheng Pu's heart was inclined to choose the path of being a small rich and being a salted fish.

When he read history in his previous life, he felt that the splendid part of the history of the Three Kingdoms lies in the soul-stirring compositions written by Wei Wu, the First Sovereign, Sun Ce, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Zhuge Wuhou and others.

And now, many heroes and heroes are gone!
In the next ten years, when Marquis Zhuge Wuzhangyuan regrets Wuzhangyuan, the rest of the history of the Three Kingdoms will also be filled with heroes, but they are no longer in the mood to look at it.

Not only because of the pearl and jade in the front.

More because the history of the latter three countries is a tug-of-war with a predictable ending.

Zheng Pu thought to himself that he was nineteen years old, and he started as a minor official in accordance with the official practice, and calculated the time from being a humble and light-hearted senior to being qualified to advise on government affairs and military expeditions. Perhaps then Prime Minister Zhuge passed away.
Anyone who is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms knows that the restoration of the Han Dynasty in Shu Han without Prime Minister Zhuge has almost become an extravagant hope!
It's not just the fading of talent and the exhaustion of national strength.

Moreover, because the successors such as Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Jiang Wei, etc., did not have the prestige of Prime Minister Zhuge!
For example, during the reign of Jiang Wankai's government, he formulated a strategy of sending troops to retake the three eastern counties to open up the Jingzhou battlefield, and to echo each other with Wu.

When Fei Yi was in power (Dong Yun was his deputy), he tended to rest with the people, and the strength of each Northern Expedition was only more than [-] people.

After Jiang Wei took over as the general, the voice of opposition to the Northern Expedition became more intense within Shu Han.

For example, Zhang Yi has repeatedly argued with Jiang Wei in the court meeting, and Qiao Zhou even wrote the "Chou Guo Lun" which clamored for the Shu Kingdom to accept the mandate of Heaven.

Because the Shu Han, who seemed to be working together, have been undercurrents since the first lord Liu Bei fixed Shu.

The root cause is that the contradiction between the foreign scholars and the local tyrants in Yizhou has become increasingly acute.

This point starts with the four forces that make up the Shuhan regime.
