Three Kingdoms

A goshawk flew across the sky, cruising in the land of Guanzhong, like a king in the sky, inspecting his territory.

Fei Qian looked up, somewhat sad in his heart. After many years of separation, I originally thought that it might only take a few months for me to go to Sichuan, but I never expected that nearly two years would pass. Maybe my children have almost forgotten me?

A person's power is always limited, and he always has to borrow the abilities of others. He can't go into battle personally when he is fighting against the North, and then when he dominates the world, he will need to go into battle himself, right?

Although there is still an area of ​​Badong in Sichuan and Shu, it is no longer a very important issue. Xu Shu and Wei Yan are in central Sichuan, and Xu Huang is in Nanchong, Guanghan to suppress Badong. Generally speaking, the battle between Sichuan and Shu can be basically eliminated. No need for Fei Qian to put more thought into it.

Well, no, there are three brothers Liu Paopao...

However, firstly, Liu Bei's attention will be directed to the mountains to the west of Sichuan and Shu. Secondly, all the money and food support are in Xu Shu's hands. Liu Bei has not left much of a good impression on other Sichuan and Shu surnames before, so As long as Juetian Zhi pulls Liu Bei away from Sichuan and Shu when he closes the net, there will naturally be no room for joining forces to cause chaos.

This will happen at least a year later, so there is no need to rush now. But now that we have arrived in Guanzhong, we need to send Lu Bu's family to Longyou...

All in all, Lu Bu is about the same as Fei Qian. He originally boasted that he would return within a few months, but it turned out that it took more than a year...

What is the name of Lu Fengxian's little devil?

It seems to be a tiger head or something. Anyway, it shouldn't be called a dog head...

The name has not been given yet, waiting for Lu Bu to come up with the name. The road from Guanzhong to Longyou is generally smooth, and even the Longyou mountain road is often passable. It is not too difficult, so sending it to Longyou can basically be regarded as giving Lu Bu a home, otherwise from Hexi The corridor is indeed too far to reach the north.

Fei Qian suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao: Σ(°△°|||)

"Wen Yuan..." Fei Qian's face showed the unique aunty smile of a matchmaker, "It seems that you haven't married yet? I heard that Mrs. Pei has a daughter. I heard that she is virtuous, gentle and comfortable, and she is a good match... Can you meet her when you have time?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hands and said, "It all depends on the master."

Fei Qian laughed twice and ignored it. After returning to Guanzhong Chang'an, we will naturally make arrangements. Of course, except for Zhang Liao, other unmarried generals more or less still needed other noble women to marry, which was a norm in the Han Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, the Wenxi Pei family came from the same clan as the Fei family, so choosing a girl from one of them to betroth Zhang Liao can be regarded as a stabilizer for both Zhang Liao and the Wenxi Pei family.

Now that the entire Han Dynasty is in turmoil, it needs stability in the hearts of the people, and marriage is also a part of such stability. In addition, most of the women educated by aristocratic families are quite in line with the mainstream values ​​of the Han Dynasty, such as the Fan Yang Lu family, after all, they are also an outlier.

At the same time, allowing his group of generals with military honors to marry noble women also diluted the relationship network built between these noble families to a certain extent. For example, if Zhang Liao is usually from a poor family, if he If you propose marriage on your own, you may not be able to match the surnames of the local noble families, but after Fei Qian showed his old face and added a layer of buffs to a poor family like Zhang Liao, these large local wealthy families naturally need to reconsider and position themselves.

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Jia Qu, and Taishi Ci. Well, Taishi Ci may not be able to do it. After all, the Taishi Ci family in Donglai is basically an independent branch like others.

Take your time, Sichuan and Shu will need some time to digest, and it will also disrupt the relationship between various places, so that the local relationship network will not be too strong in the future.

Chang'an is in sight from afar.

Several cavalrymen galloped over quickly, said something, then dismounted, bowed to the left side of the road, and then quickly rode back...

After receiving the news from the messenger, Huang Xu rode forward to the vicinity of Fei Qian and whispered: "Pang Shijun has brought the officials of Chang'an to greet the lord."

"Okay, speed up and move forward!" Fei Qian ordered.

Not long after, I saw a flag fluttering in the distance, and under the flag were a group of Chang'an's three auxiliary officials headed by Pang Tong, standing on one side of the road.

Fei Qian was about to move forward when he was stopped by Huang Xu. He first sent many guards to the front for a closer look before allowing Fei Qian to meet the Chang'an officials under the heavily guarded guard.

Fei Qian and Pang Tong looked at each other, a little bit dumbfounded. However, Fei Qian still had some habits of later generations and would not play false politeness. After all, the last assassination had just passed, and because of the chaos of the battle, There are more and more people who do not follow the rules and fish in troubled waters, so to a certain extent, a higher level of defense cannot be said to be at fault.

However, under such circumstances, the long-lost feeling between Fei Qian and Pang Tong was naturally mixed up. After a few hasty words, they entered Chang'an.

…………………………………………

After washing off the dust, Fei Qian had another meal and regained some energy. He sat in the hall, drank tea, and read the Guanzhong-related briefings compiled by Pang Tong.

Pang Tong smiled and sat on one side, looking at Fei Qian.

Fei Qian raised his head and simply pushed the briefing aside and said, "It's up to you to talk about it... I'll look at these things when I have time..."

Pang Tong pondered for a moment, and then he was about to speak one by one with his fingers, but was interrupted by Fei Qian: "You only need to say three things at most! We will talk about the rest tomorrow!"

"Uh..." Pang Tong swallowed the words that came to his lips again, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about three. One is Zijing's place, which has already been planted... Well, anyway, the area is being expanded at the moment. It will take two years to form a large scale... The other one is that the surrounding fields are basically either cultivated fields or jue fields. If they want to be distributed again, I am afraid they will have to go west, or to Heluo? This point still needs you to do Make a decision...The third thing, forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow..."

"If you said today..." Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong, "I wouldn't say that you've gained weight again..."

Pang Tong seemed to have been stabbed by something, and stood up with a cry: "How can I be fat! This is obviously strong!"

Fei Qian laughed twice, and then said: "When I arrived in Sichuan, there was a place called Luofengpo... Yeah, that's the word "Feng"... Then, I was thinking, it's actually like the last time I When being assassinated, even if there is no time to block, if you react quickly and roll under the horse, the arrow will not be easily hit, right? However, if you are not agile enough, then...hehe, hehe..."

Pang Tong blushed and wanted to get angry, but he didn't know what to say. He gasped for breath a few times, sat down again, and emphasized: "Say it again! I'm not fat! What, since you want to hear it? ...My uncle wrote a letter, talking about some of the things we are doing now, and then...this...my uncle has some different opinions..."

"Oh? Mr. Pang De?" Fei Qian frowned slightly and said, "What is it about?"

"Well, this... bookstore..." Pang Tong glanced at Fei Qian's face.

"Bookstore?" Fei Qian rolled his eyes, "Kaiminzhi?"

"Alas..." Pang Tong saw that he had said it, so he stopped hiding it. He found Pang Degong's reply letter from the bookshelf on the side, handed it to Fei Qian, and then said, "What did your uncle mean? It's still the same." set……"

Fei Qian took the letter, read it quickly, and then fell silent.

If Huang Lao's thoughts are only limited to the four words "governing by doing nothing", it would inevitably be a bit too general, because Huang Lao actually integrated the theories of Tao, Dharma, Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Bing, Ming, etc. Of course, there are also related laws and systems, but it is just because it is explicitly emphasized that the king should not focus on pleasure, but should cultivate himself with the people, and only through his own "inaction and self-transformation" can the people's "self-simplicity" be achieved and become to gain a wider understanding from later generations.

But it is obvious that Huang Lao's ideas do not meet the needs of the times. Especially when the population increased, it became more and more difficult for Huang Lao to govern the country. This is why the Han Dynasty was extremely eager to change during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

As for Fei Qian’s practice of bookshops and troops in the Guanzhong and northern areas, and dual literacy to open up people’s wisdom, Pang Degong said that at this stage, there is not much need. What he thinks is still the old saying, “The people can use it but cannot use it.” "Know it." In addition, Huang Lao focused on taking advantage of the situation, so he was somewhat worried about Fei Qian's actions being counterproductive.

Pang Degong said in the letter that the people are ignorant because of the laws of nature. In ancient times, Cangjie created writing and recorded the understanding and wisdom of each generation and life in writing, which became a book so that future generations can have a glimpse of the way of heaven. But not everyone Everyone has this kind of wisdom, so knowledge should belong to a few people and should not be easily popularized.

People who are not wise enough will harm themselves after acquiring knowledge, just like a child running into the wild with weapons, either being killed by wild beasts or cutting himself...

In addition, after the people acquire knowledge, they will have more desires. If they are not satisfied, they will have resentment. This is contrary to the purity that Huang Lao himself pursues, and is also a factor that will destabilize the country and society in the long run. Look, it’s not suitable to open up people’s wisdom.

In short, Pound recognized that it was necessary to be cautious and not deal with this matter casually.

"The way of Huang Lao..." Fei Qian put down Duke Pang De's letter and sighed softly, "In the past on Lushan Mountain, Duke Pang asked someone what the way of heaven is... Shi Yuan, what do you think of this matter?"

Pang Tong looked at Fei Qian's face, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Well, ahem, I think it makes sense..."

"Tell the truth!" Fei Qian glared at Pang Yi.

Pang Tong's face fell instantly, and after a long silence he said: "I think what my uncle said makes sense... The books are the same, but whether they are children or adults, there are differences in qualifications. Some people know more, and some It is not a problem that people who know less know less, but the problem is that people who know less do not know that they know less, and even think that the little they know is everything... Just like if Chang'an is attacked now, then the attack will be , is to defend, how to fight, how to defend, how can it be possible for all the people to know and understand? And even if these people know, some are doing it to survive, some are cowardly, or because of the differences between neighbors He did some unbelievable things during the quarrel... And in a military emergency, how could there be time to let everyone understand and why they were doing this... It's better not to impart knowledge to these people and not let these people know. Why, just let these people know how to do it..."

Fei Qian held his head, frowned, and said noncommittally, "Well, is there anything else?"

Pang Tong puffed his cheeks a few times, hesitated, and finally said: "...Also, although my uncle didn't mention it in the letter, he asked me to tell you that Mr. Shui Jing is willing to cooperate with you in doing these things. , because Mr. Shui Jing wants to promote ancient classics and is taking advantage of the situation! He wants to compete with Zheng Gong of Jizhou, and he doesn’t really think your methods are good! As long as the ancient classics overwhelm modern classics, I'm afraid Mr. Shui Jing...makes you a little more wary..."

"Pang Gong is a great virtue, I will bear it in my heart..." Fei Qian straightened his crown and cupped his hands in the direction of Jing Xiang. After bowing, he pondered for a moment and then said, "This matter... Pang Gong also thinks that Isn’t there something wrong with studying the classics today?”

Pang Tong nodded and said: "The prophecies of this text can mislead people and confuse the imperial court. It is really harmful and useless. With just a few words in the article, I privately annotated and made arbitrary judgments. Even after knowing the true explanation, I still refused to admit my mistakes for the sake of face. His words and deeds Disgusting…”

Fei Qian nodded. On this point, everyone had the same idea.

However, there is one thing that perhaps not only Pang Tong, but also Pang Degong and others are unaware of...

"The ancient Spring and Autumn Books, passed down to this day, are ancient texts..." Fei Qian tapped the table a few times and said slowly, "Then the ancient books, at that time, how can we know whether they were ancient or modern? ?”

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment.

"It should be noted that Duke Zhou was also afraid of the day of rumors..." Fei Qian continued, "Luoyi needed to be relocated, so the capital was divination and the tripod was made. There was no difference between the top and bottom, so rituals and music were made... All these things, if it were at that time, how could it be ancient? Why now?”

"Isn't this..." Pang Tong was a little confused after hearing this, and asked with a frown, "So, this article is better?"

Fei Qian shook his head and said, "Shiyuan is wrong again... Let me hear what I say..."
