Three Kingdoms

"Killing is not difficult..." Fei Qian sighed softly, "Have you ever touched a knife blade?" The sharp blade will even make you afraid... Well, yes, you can't touch the blade... These swords are all used to kill people... I have already killed a group of people, and maybe I will kill more Another group... But this is useless, the same problem still exists, and if the problem is not solved, sooner or later it will intensify again... Can killing a group of people alleviate the conflict? Impossible. As long as this kind of problem and this kind of contradiction exists, it will break out sooner or later... Those who kill will be killed. If you kill too much, you will make too many enemies, and one day you will die and your family will be destroyed..."

Fei Qian said softly.

Fei Zhen looked at Fei Qian with her round eyes open, seeming to understand.

"you understood? Fei Qian also looked at Fei Zhen, "Still don't understand?" The big man has fallen, and it is difficult to make a comeback. This is a fact, although it is a fact that many people are unwilling to say openly... I also have a headache now, do you know? The feudal imperial power system lasts for up to three generations... Do you know what the feudal imperial power system is? 』

"Split the sword?" ” Feizhen moved her arms twice, indicating that she wanted to separate the sword. A five-year-old child can generally speak and express, but his thinking mode is still very weak and cannot understand the meaning of Fei Qian's words.

Fei Qian laughed.

"What are your husband talking to Zhen'er?" "Huang Yueying heard Fei Qian's laughter outside, and she couldn't help but feel happy. She walked in with a smile and asked.

"Daddy said, separate the swords and kill people..." Feizhen waved her little arms like a general on the battlefield.

Huang Yueying glared at Fei Qian, "Why did you tell Zhen'er this..."

"Haha, I'm just talking..." Fei Qian smiled and changed the subject, "Has anything interesting happened around Chang'an recently?" 』

The Mo family brought some manpower, and Fei Qian just gave these manpower to Huang Yueying, asking her to collect some surrounding information first as a practice. Otherwise, if there are any problems when they are released out and they want to take them back and teach them again, it will not only be It's played, and it's hard to correct.

"interesting? Does slandering your husband count? ” Huang Yueying sat down next to Fei Qian, and then reached out to pour Fei Qian a cup of tea. At the same time, she took the time to tidy up Fei Zhen’s robes that were a little scattered due to playing.

Fei Qian laughed and said, "Forget it!" tell me the story……"

Huang Yueying asked the maid aside to take Feizhen out to play first, and then slowly said: "Some people are talking about Huang Lao's way..."

"Mr. Huang?" Why are you saying this suddenly? Fei Qian was a little confused.

Huang Yueying looked at Fei Qian, "Isn't it the "Guangwu God Statue" made by your husband? 』

Fei Qian laughed.

"Huang Lao's method has been in decline for more than three hundred years, and I'm afraid it is no longer useful... Ever since Emperor Xiaowu only respected Confucianism, Huang Lao has never had the opportunity to promote inaction governance..." Huang Yueying is not the only one except Ax and plane, nothing else is known. After all, Huang Chengyan had close contacts with Pang Degong back then, so he knew something about it to some extent.

Fei Qian felt a little funny, "So these Confucian scholars are not even worried about this?" Are you still guarding yourself to death? This is really..." Fei Qian suddenly realized something. Huang Lao, as a school that had been in power, was also the largest opposition party in the Han Dynasty. Now, both Fei Qian and Pang Tong were under Pang De Gong, which naturally attracted these nobles. The younger generation pays attention to it, and may even think that the division between Shandong and Shanxi is also a dispute between Huang Lao and Confucianism...

"Actually, Huang Lao also once fought back... When Emperor Xiaocheng came to the throne, the government was weak, so there was a saying that at the end of heaven and earth, he would be ordered by heaven. The emperor of heaven sent the real man's red sperm to come down to earth to teach Taoist Master Gan, and he had to offer " "Bao Yuan Taiping Sutra", with the intention of reviving Huang Lao and persuading the emperor to rule the world by doing nothing..." Huang Yueying sighed and said, "It's just that the ministers of the dynasty joined forces to punish Taoist Gan for his crime of "false ghosts and gods to confuse the public." Killed... Later, when the emperor mourned, the state affairs in the court became even more chaotic. The disciples of Taoist Gan were unwilling to give in. Haha, they once again used the "Taiping Jing" to persuade the emperor to revive the country... The emperor changed his title to "Emperors Chen Sheng and Liu Taiping" wanted to rule the country by doing nothing, but under the joint attack of the Confucian scholars, another massacre of heads fell..."

"Later, when Emperor Xiaoxun was in power, the unwilling Taoist priest presented the "Book of Taiping Qingling", saying that it was a divine book that could bring long-term peace and order to the world. Emperor Xiaoxun thought it was very good, and asked the ministers to take a look. As a result, the ministers With the same voice, they all said that this book was monstrous and unreasonable, criticized the filial emperor, and then sealed the "Taiping Qingling Book" in Dongguan..."

"The Taiping Jing talks about peace in the country and hopes for peace in the world, but when it comes out, it is often not peaceful..." Fei Qian listened and couldn't help but shook his head, "No one in the court is a fool. Within the brothers, You can beat people's brains into dogs' heads, but if an outsider shows up... these guys will jump up again and beat the outsider to death together..."

Huang Yueying was silent for a moment and said: "So, husband, do you really want to revive Mr. Huang and reuse Taoists... I heard that those Taoists also gave my husband a very long name..."

"Haha..." Fei Qian laughed dumbly, "Well... Actually, the "god statue" thing is just a target I pushed out... There is a target blocking it, and these people can't see what's behind the target. Already..."

Fei Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, and then laughed again, "Let's not talk about it... Originally, a grander celebration was supposed to be held, but something happened over there in the Western Region... We can only deal with it in a compromise, to make it look more attractive. It's solemn, but not too procrastinating... Can you help me find out which of these elegant songs is better? 』

Drumming music in the Han Dynasty was divided into three grades. One was for royal use only and was called "Huangmen Drumming". This Huangmen Propaganda is equivalent to the large band that accompanies the emperor on the side when he entertains his ministers. There are a total of 145 people. There is even a special music and dance organization to manage it, which is the Huangmen Propaganda Department.

Fei Qian naturally couldn't use such a high-end gadget, so he used the next-level "Yale". Yayue is music and dance used for sacrifices in suburban temples, spring and autumn feasts, and various large-scale ceremonies held by the court. Many of the musicians are not full-time musicians, but are performed by good family members with a certain status.

For example, it is like a classical symphony orchestra. Although there are also silk and bamboo instruments, bells and pans are still the main ones. However, unlike pure symphony, elegant music is usually performed with a combination of music and dance. When the elegant music is played, the dancers advance and retreat in unison, advancing when hearing the drums and retreating when playing the cymbals. The civil and military performances are orderly, the music is harmonious, and the atmosphere is solemn.

Then there is the next stage, which is the ordinary princes’ banquet, or the musicians’ band at the minister’s private banquet, which is called “secular music”. It is basically equivalent to the so-called pop music of later generations, such as country jazz, blues, etc., which are not very high-grade "vulgar music". The musicians are often elites and female musicians living at the bottom of society. Although bells and pans are sometimes used, orchestral instruments are the mainstay. The dances are chaotic and lively.

Finally, folk music, called "drum and percussion music", generally does not have bells and pans. Most of it is played in ensembles or alone with panxiao, transverse flute, bamboo flute, horn, etc. Many of these instruments were also introduced from the Hu people. , so it is often called "Hu Le". It is basically played in pubs, streets, and other messy places. Because the instruments are simple and can be played with just three or five, it is often seen in the military. Played at banquets.

"Is the auspicious time set?" Huang Yueying asked, hugging Fei Zhen while looking at the documents on the desk, "Dawu, is this going too far?" Let’s just use Xiao Wu..."

"It's settled... It's the fifth day of July. It's said that there are no taboos and it's suitable to be sealed..." Fei Qian couldn't help but laugh again, "Fortunately, Qinglong Temple still has some information left, otherwise Shiyuan would have gone crazy... I'm afraid this trip Then, I lost another chin..." Although Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and others said there was no rush, Pang Lingjun should take his time, but in reality...

There is no need to worry, even Pang Tong himself is anxious...

"Hi..." Huang Yueying also shook her head, then clicked on the paperwork on the desk, and said, "Let's use the "bow dance", it should look better than the "dry dance"..."

"oh? Fei Qian raised his eyebrows. Does it look good? Is this okay? "But I'm a hussar... shouldn't I use "dance" instead?" "Po dance is a literary dance. There are sixty-four people, 16 of whom dance with a pipe. And Gan dance, also called military dance, is a martial dance as the name suggests.

Huang Yueying smiled mischievously: "The so-called martial arts, martial arts, my husband has so many martial arts, it's time to do some martial arts!" 』

Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "Yes!" Then use "嗗 dance"! "Fei Qian can generally guess what Huang Yueying means. The so-called "civilian martial arts" is just an excuse. More actually, Huang Yueying hopes that Fei Qian can be a little more stable and does not need to continue fighting...

This is a beautiful expectation of Huang Yueying, so there is no need to debate whether to use literary dance or martial dance, just be happy.

Huang Yueying also smiled, her big eyes widened, and then she couldn't help but come over and hugged one of Fei Qian's arms, like a lazy cat.

Fei Qian raised his head. Although he did not continue to discuss the issue about Huang Lao with Huang Yueying, in fact, this matter was still swirling in his mind.

The shortcomings of Confucianism are actually very obvious...

Take a simple example, such as "filial piety". Filial piety is naturally good, but it is pointless to emphasize filial piety so much that it would be boring to come up with twenty-four or thirty-six filial piety. And the extension of this, the high cost of funerals, has also become a very acute contradiction in the Han Dynasty to a certain extent.

For ordinary people, family wealth generally ranges from tens of thousands to more than 100,000 yuan. The trend of thick burials began in the Qin Dynasty and became more and more intense in the Han Dynasty.

In order to bury the dead "honorably", they went bankrupt, sold themselves into slavery, took bribes and perverted the law, and took desperate risks. As a result, the living were often unable to maintain their lives and were in miserable situations. Several emperors of the Han Dynasty advocated "a poor burial and a death penalty" in response to this shortcoming, and even issued edicts and orders, but with little effect.

Because this "filial piety" is the foundation of what Confucianism calls "benevolence" and the most basic requirement for an ordinary person. Even the country uses "filial piety and integrity" to recruit talents, so the more grand the funeral of parents, the more solemn it is. Is it "filial piety"?

Can a law curb people's respect for "filial piety"?

As the saying goes, things must be reversed at their extremes. This problem may not have serious harm to the country during the period of stability in the Han Dynasty. However, in the current period when the world is uncertain and all kinds of wastes are emerging, this contradiction may become more acute. So, is it possible? Take advantage of a wave?

Fei Qian stroked the beard on his chin.

At the same time, Confucianism also has a fatal weakness, but it is also the strongest aspect of Confucianism...

As the saying goes, the weakest point is hidden in the strongest point?

Confucianism can be reused by the imperial power because of the so-called "influence between heaven and man" and "the authority of the king granted by heaven". At that time, Emperor Xiaowu had great talents and great plans. He needed to attack the Xiongnu in the north and expand the territory. Therefore, if he wanted to have full centralization of power, he also needed new academic ideas to lay the foundation for national policies across the world. With his support, Dong Zhongshu was born. Confucianism took off...

But here's the problem.

In the past, God appointed Emperor Xiaowu, and later Emperor Guangwu. So why didn't he continue to "give" Emperor Liu Xie, who is currently "wise and powerful", and let him return to his home from all over the world and bulldoze some Xiaoxiao easily and smoothly? Who can defeat the clown?

So, if Liu Xie cannot get the so-called "divine gift" from God, then what is Liu Xie?

If this kind of inference continues, it will inevitably cause some embarrassment. Is there even a possibility that someone might stir up trouble in the name of the so-called "divine gift"? "The sky is dead, the yellow sky must stand." Isn't this a living example?

Liu Xie did not come to Chang'an, otherwise Fei Qian would have started to take advantage of Liu Xie and slap Confucianism on the face... Of course, it would be best for Liu Xie and Confucianism to slap each other, and in the end both sides would be shameless...

Now, the matter of the Guangwu Statue can only be put aside for the time being. It even needs to be suppressed to prevent it from being exposed too early.

While Fei Qian was thinking about it, Huang Yueying, who was not paying attention, raised her face, stared at Fei Qian's expression carefully, and suddenly asked: "What are you thinking about, husband?" 』

"ah? Fei Qian's eyes swayed, "I didn't think about anything... Well, I was thinking about the religious ceremony that will be held in a few days..."

Before the so-called ceremony of worshiping the General Altar, a smaller-scale sacrificial ceremony belonging to Fei Qian's personal family must be held first, that is, the sacrificial ceremony for Fei Qian's ancestors. It is a relatively personal matter, but it is also indispensable and quite important. An important link.

"Is it? Zong Li..." Huang Yueying was a little doubtful, and then she hugged Fei Qian's arms tightly, raising her head and staring at Fei Qian's face, "Didn't you think about Sister Cai... Do you want the Cai family to stand behind me? ? Um? 』

『Σ（??д??lll）? ! Fei Qian couldn't answer for a moment, "This..."

Life is really full of problems and pitfalls!
