The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

22. Knife the Queen Mother of the West

This man had a beautiful beard and was famous among the masters of the Republic of China for his beautiful beard. So when people mentioned Yu Seductive, they couldn't help but praise his beautiful beard first. As a result, Yu's beard became famous throughout the country. Read 520 official website

But Yu Kechan was always said like this, so he couldn't help it and told a joke in front of everyone.

When talking about the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yunchang's son Guan Xing ran up to his father with a stern look on his face. Guan Yunchang asked him what he was happy about. Guan Xing said, "Just now, Liu Chan and Zhang Bao and I each talked about our father's strengths. Brother Liu said that the eldest uncle was kind and righteous and loved the people, and brother Zhang said that the third uncle was brave with a spear."

When Guan Yu heard this, he asked: "Then what did you say about me?" Guan Xing said: "You and I said about your old beard..." Before Guan Xing could say the word "good-looking", Guan Yunchang was angry and slapped the table, " If you don’t tell me about my ability to pass five levels and kill six generals, and to overthrow the heaven and earth, then you only know how to talk about my beard.”

After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. But it was only when Seductive stroked his beard and smiled that people came back to their senses.

When he heard Bai Gui say that this was a treasonous book, Zhou Yuan was startled. The book in his hand almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly asked: "I glanced through this book and didn't find anything treasonous." …”

He has reached the stage of treating menstruation, and his knowledge may not be great, but it is definitely not bad.

Confucianism first had the Six Classics. Later, after the wars in the late Qin Dynasty such as the burning of books by Emperor Qin Shihuang and the burning of Xianyang by Xiang Yu, the "Book of Music" was lost, leaving only the Five Classics of the Six Classics.

Emperor Wu of the Later Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. Doctors of the Five Classics were set up in Taixue, specializing in teaching "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn". There was a school for each classic, so they were called Doctors of the Five Classics.

Most people do not have the ability to master all five classics, so they treat only one classic. In the imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing dynasties, questions on the Five Classics were set, and candidates took the exam from their own classics. It is equivalent to the professional courses for postgraduate examinations in later generations, and other categories are public courses.

"What does it mean to be a nerd? This is it!"

Bai Gui cursed.

There are still only a few scholars like Xu Xiucai who can apply what they have learned. In other words, most of the Confucian scholars who can pass the exam and become a scholar are not just people who drop their books. In other words, fame is like a sieve, which has already filtered out nerds like Zhou Yuan who only know the Four Books and Five Classics...

After all, although the Four Books and Five Classics are numerous, as long as you memorize them diligently, you will eventually be able to finish them.

He shook his head and casually opened the first page of the collection of poems. "Look at this poem. The first sentence is 'Women abuse the Qianqiu Ring, and the powder should no longer mislead people.' Think about it, the current emperor entrusts the government with the government." It was given to the Queen Mother. The emperor has been under house arrest in Yingtai since the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898. This first sentence is a satire on the court..."

Although the affairs of the palace are unlikely to spread to the people.

However, it is well known that the Queen Mother of the West is the real person in charge of the imperial court.

"What Brother Bai said is very true..." Zhou Yuan's face turned pale. He suddenly felt that the poetry collection in the book was like a hot potato, but he quickly calmed down.

Bai Gui and him are classmates and close relatives in the village, and their character is obvious to all, so they are unlikely to report him.

After a while, Zhou Yuan calmed down again.

After he calmed down, he felt a bit like a young scholar and was unconvinced. He felt that he was inferior to Bai Gui and his face was very dull. He tried to defend himself: "This is just a sentence. Many poetry collections also satirize Si Chen. Matters, such as King Luo Bin’s petition for war, have not been banned by this dynasty."

When he said this, he felt somewhat confident.

The story of Si Chen comes from "Shang Shu·Mu Shi": "There is no morning for a hen. The morning of a hen is just the rope for home."

The oath of animal husbandry is the oath of King Wu of Zhou to defeat Zhou. The meaning of this sentence is what King Wu of Zhou said when he swore his oath at the Battle of Muye. In the past, it was said that hens had no way of crowing in the morning. If the hen crows instead of the rooster, the family will be destroyed. If a woman seizes the power of her husband, the country will perish. Once King Zhou Ignorantly listening to Daji's slander and governing indiscriminately was the root cause of King Zhou's ruin.

As for King Luo Bin's "Chasing Wu Zhaoxi", the entire poem talks about the bad governance of the country caused by Wu Zetian's coming to court, the harm to loyal people, and so on.

King Luo Bin was a famous scholar, and his appeal to Wu Zhao was almost universally known as a masterpiece.

What Zhou Yuan said is not wrong.

"What about this sentence? These two couplets: exchange peace with blood on the neck, love freedom like a wife." There is also this Qijue poem "The Dog in the House", "What is the use of the dog in the house?" Eat up the fat and ointment of our people. I feel ashamed that a scholar has no courage, and I just say that chivalrous people love Lu Sao. ’”

"Shu, but it refers to the government office. It's better to just say that the officials in the government office are dogs."

Bai Gui turned over two more pages and said.

This collection of poems was later mentioned in Seduction decades later, saying that he was young and energetic at the time and talked too much. Although "Half-Crying-Half-Laughing House Poetry" does not name or criticize a single person, and it would not be published if it did, but upon closer inspection, it is not an exaggeration to call it an anti-book.

Finally, he added one more sentence.

"The owner of this book heard that in the 24th year of Guangxu's reign, our Qin Province ranked first in the annual examination and was a Bulinshan student. At that time, the Queen Mother of the West fled to our city of Xi'an, and he petitioned the governor to kill the Queen Mother of the West... "

Bai Gui told this matter.

"Forget it, no need to argue, Brother Bai, you are awesome."

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes. A ruthless person who could kill the Queen Mother of the West was definitely a traitor wanted by the imperial court. But what impressed Zhou Yuan deeply was that Bai Gui was obviously from a lower background than him, but his knowledge was so much better than his.

"It's just...how did you hear about it?"

he asked doubtfully.

"Brother Zhou, you also know that I have a good memory. Although I can't say that I have learned it by ear, I can still roughly remember it. These words were all discussed by the gentlemen in the restaurants in the town. I remembered them in my mind after hearing them. , I didn’t know why in the past, but today I saw the poetry collection in Brother Zhou’s hand, so I realized..."

Bai Gui is not worried about explaining such things.

What he said was not nonsense. As long as you have a good memory and forcefully write down the words, shouldn't you be able to react when you see the specific collection of poems?

"Forcing Wen Bo Ji is nothing more than this."

Zhou Yuan was relieved and did not doubt it. For example, Sima Guang, the famous Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, could understand the gist of "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" after listening to it at the age of seven. There is also Li He, a poet ghost, who could recite poems and write poems at the age of six or seven. Han Yu personally came to visit...

Compared with the prodigies above, Bai Guiqiang's Wenboji is not an incredible talent.

Of course, if Bai Gui had never entered school, he would have such an opinion. This is seeing ghosts, and he has to ask the goddess to burn incense to drive away ghosts. But after entering school and becoming a disciple of a saint, isn't this... a natural thing?

"This book cannot be kept, it must be burned!"

Zhou Yuan said a little anxiously.

Although he knew that even if the entire school Mengtong knew that he had this anti-book, they would not report him, but if the matter spreads from ten to ten, who knows which despicable outsider it will reach, this is a bad thing. .

Being worried about by the government, destroying the county magistrate's family, exterminating the family, no matter whether he has committed any crime or not, it is a trouble.

For the government, does it matter whether someone is charged with something or not? What is important is that they can accuse someone of something and confiscate their family and exterminate their clan. With this rumor, it shouldn't be too easy to raid his home.
