Three Kingdoms

Inside Pingbei General Zhao Yun's camp.

Liu He looked very bad. He never expected that Zhao Yun, who seemed so loyal and honest, would reject his request mercilessly. Is it because he has been with the Hu people for a long time that he no longer understands the latest Chinese words, or is it because Zhao Yun has become smarter?

Wuhuan people!

Damn Wuhuan people!

Liu He could actually guess what the Wuhuan people were thinking. After all, everyone knew how to be a fisherman, and he could eat both birds and seafood. Even a fool knew how to choose. But the problem is that the Wuhuan people's choices caused Liu He to lose control of the situation and even lose face.

That's right, for a Han Dynasty person, a pure descendant of the Han Dynasty gentry, sometimes face is more important than anything else.

"Someone is going to kill Lou Ban!" Liu He gritted his teeth and said, "Once Lou Ban dies, the Wuhuan people will definitely be in chaos!" Then we can accuse Nanlou of doing it... Then we can take over the Wuhuan people in the name of General Pingbei's envoy! After much thought, this is the only solution! 』

"Sir! ” Xian Yufu looked at Liu He’s ferocious expression and felt somewhat uneasy, “Master, think twice! 』

"No! I've thought about it! Liu He glared at Xian Yufu, "Why, you don't dare to go?" You owe me, you all owe me! What, are you going to default on your debt? ! 』

"I swore an oath... Young Master... I swore an oath..." Xian Yufu lowered his head, "I will never disobey Young Master..."

"Then just do it!" "Liu He stared, because of his excitement, his eyelids even stood up a little, forming a triangle, "Follow my instructions! Kill Lou Ban! kill him! Lou Ban likes women. As long as he drinks, he will go to the tent of a woman in the clan... He just needs to sneak around behind the tent... Hehe, hahaha..."

Liu He seemed to have thought of something, and he laughed happily without noticing that Xian Yufu's head was still lowered, and seemed to be getting lower and lower...

Xian Yufu withdrew from Liu He's tent.

"Young Master..." Seeing his unkind expression, Xian Yufu's confidant moved closer, looked back at Liu He's tent in the distance, and then whispered, "Sir... what's wrong?" 』

"..." Xian Yufu glanced at his confidant, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing...it's just...it's nothing..."

Xian Yufu spoke in a nonchalant manner, then walked forward slowly. After a moment, he suddenly said: "Do you still remember the old envoy?" 』

"Why don't you remember?" ! ” The confidant blurted out, “That is the best Han Chinese I have ever seen!” The old envoy really treats us as his own people, not...not like some people nowadays, who just know how to talk..."

"Old Envoy..." Xian Yufu nodded blankly, and then said softly, "Yes...like Old Envoy... gone... gone..."

……(-)……

No matter how much money you have, how big things you can do, those who want to spend a small amount of money to do big things are often either in embarrassment or forced to accept this or that problem.

So money is important.

Everyone knows this, but it is not easy to do well on this issue.

Linjing, Chenshibao.

In the area closer to the Xiqiang, the smaller and weaker Wubao was swallowed up by repeated rebellions and peace. When the Qiang people rebelled, they had to be careful of the crazy Qiang people. When they calmed down, they had to be careful of the Han soldiers who returned to the army but did not get any benefits. Anyway, it is not easy for Chenjia Fort to survive to this day.

Even because of protecting the foundation, several men in the family died.

Therefore, the Chen family naturally shouldered the responsibility of inheriting and carrying forward the Chen Family Fort.

There is no doubt about this.

If you want to develop, Chen Zizi cannot do it alone.

So there have to be more people. And when it comes to manpower, ordinary tenants are naturally not as useful as the refugees. They can also get the resettlement expenses subsidized by the Hussar General, and these refugees can work for Chenjiapu for free. The benefits of this are naturally not necessary. Too much to say.

After tasting these sweet things, Chen Shizi from Chenjiabao became closely connected with Zhao Ji, the magistrate of Linjing County. The two of them seemed so good that they could wear a pair of pants, uh, a robe. They cooperated tacitly and worked hand in hand. .

Just like most love affairs or adultery, when it is hot, it is always sweet and oily, and I wish I could get tired of being together every day. The relationship between Chen Shizi and the Linjing County Magistrate transcends age and gender. There was a time when it was very real, sincere, real, and really tiring...

Um? Is there something weird sneaking in?

At that time, Zhao Ji was drinking tea in an elegant manner.

At that time, Mrs. Chen was counting her money and smiling happily.

What a wonderful match, with wealth and good looks, a match made in heaven, isn't it?

It's a pity that love sometimes becomes weak when it is strong. There are lovers in the world, and there are also flying swallows.

This time, after going to the nearby government office, Chen's face was gloomy on the way back. She didn't seem to be happy to meet her lover. Instead, she seemed to have been exposed by someone. She was worse than her parents being dead. Uncomfortable.

"I've met my second uncle..." After Mrs. Chen entered the hall of her home and saw the older generation in the family, she slightly cupped her hands and sat aside.

"What happened?" ’ asked the old man.

"You all stand down!" ” Chen Shizi waved his hand and ordered, and then after watching the servants retreat, he whispered, “The warehouses in Linjing County are short of money...”

"Ha, so what?" ” The old man stroked his beard, obviously not taking this matter to heart. After all, according to Linjing County Zhao Ji's style, it is strange that there is no deficit, it is just a big or small deficit.

Chen Shizi: "..."

The old man glanced at Chen's face and realized something was wrong. He couldn't help but get closer and asked in a low voice: "What on earth is going on?" 』

Chen Shizi gritted his teeth and uttered a few words from between his teeth, "The thief wants me to kill him!" 』

"What? ! "When the old man heard this, he shivered, and with great strength, he actually pulled off two or three beards. He grinned in pain, then threw away the torn off gray beard, "My dear nephew, tell me carefully! 』

Chen Shizi took him to the county government office and met with Zhao Ji, and then Zhao Ji lifted up his pants... Well, he did not miss the old friendship and said that the deficit in the nearby warehouse was all caused by subsidizing Chen Shizi, and now Chen Shizi was needed Zi returned the original money to make up for the warehouse's shortfall.

"This...such words are so lucky for this thief to say them!" "The Chen family members all said in dissatisfaction, "When the thieves took the money and divided the profits, how could they not know that the warehouse was in deficit? ! Now it all depends on someone, which is really shameful! 』

Mrs. Chen slapped the table, so angry that she couldn't help herself.

"Good nephew..." The old man frowned, "Now that the matter has come to this, how should we deal with it?" 』

"Since you haven't prepared a way for me to survive..." Chen Shizi gritted his teeth and said, "Then the fish will die, or the net will break!" 』

……┐(?～?)┌……

"nonsense! 』

"Absolutely ridiculous! 』

"Nonsense!" 』

"That's not true! 』

"..."

In Qinglong Temple, everyone was excited and spitting.

Basically, the Chinese people are very proud of their own culture, so generally the derogatory words contain the word "Hu" to show contempt for the surrounding Hu people, just like the natives of the magical capital of Kyoto in later generations. His mouth is full of vicious rejection of non-natives.

But now, this vicious rejection was given to Sima Yi.

The reason is of course because Sima Yi's Five Virtues fallacy almost cut off these people's path to prophecy. The theory of the Five Virtues mainly influenced the emperor. After all, changing dynasties is not something everyone can do, but whether it is general prophecy, or whether it is to achieve one's goals through deified annotations of scriptures...

The salt-bearer who saw God is gone!

I ate it without salt, it’s not salty anymore!

As a kind of political theology, prophecy theory existed in the pre-Qin Dynasty, but it should be considered the middle and late Western Han Dynasty when it arose. It is closely related to the Five Virtues and has a very deep relationship with each other. There is even a saying that "the five fortunes are the end and beginning, and prophecy is the ancestor".

If there is any difference in the political functions of the two, Chenwei can be said to be an emergency political myth, while the theory of five virtues is a political theory aimed at establishing dynasty orthodoxy. Although they both talk about the principle of the Five Elements, the former focuses on the rationality of revolution, and the latter focuses on the legitimacy of imperial power.

"That's not true! How unreasonable! ” An old Confucian scholar with a gray beard, his cheeks flushed, waved his arms angrily to increase his momentum, and said loudly, “There is a saying in the book of ministers, “The emperor established the five palaces in order to respect the sky and the elephants.” "Yes," is this also absurd? ! Youdao is the house of Red Emperor Nai Jinnu, named Wenzu, Huangdi Hanjun's house, Shendou, Baidi Zhaorui's house, Xianji, Black Emperor Zhiguangji's house, Xuanju, Cangdi Ling The majestic mansion, the famous Ling mansion...such a famous mansion has been passed down from ancient times, how can it be wrong? 』

"Of course!" Of course! Another person echoed, "Cang said Lin Weiyang, Taihao Shiyan!" Chi said Chi Ji was angry, Emperor Yan had eaten! There are five directions in heaven, and there are also five virtues. Each one is ruled by a heavenly emperor. These are the five directions and five emperors! Now Hussar also said that the Five Emperors established a divine palace on the outskirts of Chang'an. How could there be any reason to abandon the Five Virtues and the Five Emperors! 』

For a time, there were many voices, and the public opinion in Qinglong Temple was overwhelming.

Sima Yi sat on the stage, looking at the chaotic situation below, smiled slightly, stood up, nodded, and said to the Qinglong Temple official beside him, "Please post a notice saying that it will still be here three days later. When you speak on the altar, if you have any objections, you can come and teach me..."

The word "teaching" sounds like humility, but in fact it means making gestures to each other...

The clerk quickly agreed without mentioning it.

Some sharp-eyed people saw Sima Yi looking like he was about to leave, and screamed eagerly, as if Sima Yi felt guilty and was about to run away...

When Sima Yi saw that everyone was quiet again, he smiled slightly and said loudly: "I have a foolish opinion. I have thought about it for many days. Your words are out of haste. It is inevitable that the excuse will be unfair in the future... Therefore, here is the argument." , three days later, come back to argue! 』

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and looked around. There was still a smile on his face, but there was a sharpness coming out, like a sharp blade showing its edge in the sun, although it did not actually cut anyone. , but couldn’t help but make those present shrink back...

Sima Yi put his hand on one place, then pushed it out gently, "See you there in three days!" 』

……(?·??·?)??……

The mansion of the Han hussar general.

"well! 』

A series of laughter came from the hall, along with a familiar mantra.

Sima Hui said he was here to visit his old friend Huang Chengyan, but "on the way" he ended up at Fei Qian's place. Well, just like those salespeople in later generations, it's always "by the way", "just by chance", etc.

Sima Yi set up a signboard at Qinglong Temple, and Mr. Shui Jing could not say that he was just sitting idly by. Moreover, Mr. Shui Jing was also worried that there were some other problems that were difficult to solve, so he came here to find out what Fei Qian said.

Just like a salesperson who can always talk nonsense at will, Mr. Shui Jing, as an old salesman with a reputation in the Han Dynasty, is not limited to his ability to talk nonsense. After chattering for a while, he talked about Xiangrui. Then it was extended from the auspiciousness of various animals and plants...

"Auspicious things happen in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they are due to the Feng Chan. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Qi wanted to enshrine Zen. Guan Zhong said that in order to enshrine Zen, you need millet on the grinder, grain in the north, flat fish in the east sea, and birds with wings in the west sea. Then there are five out of ten things that will come to you without being summoned... Sima Hui looked at Fei Qian and said, "I wonder what Qiao Qian thinks?" 』

how?

Not really.

This old fox.

Fei Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Shui Jing is very knowledgeable. He must know where the word "Feng Chan" first came from?" 』

"Um? ” Sima Hui was stunned.

Just like most knowledge, many times, after just looking at it and thinking about it, you get used to it, and rarely delve into its origin and development, nor do you think about it in detail, just like "Feng Chan".

Because Qin Shihuang granted Zen status, then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also granted Zen status, and Emperor Guangwu did the same, so the status of Zen status became something that everyone recognized, just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. As for why this happens and why Few people have explored the various evolutions it has brought about.

Since Fei Qian said this, Sima Hui couldn't treat it casually, especially if it involved such a major event, so Sima Hui began to search for the scriptures and articles he had read, and then frowned.

There are only seven emperors recorded in history who were granted the title of Zen, but there were many who wanted to be granted the title of Zen...

"White Tiger Tongyi... um..." Sima Hui just started, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head, "Although the word "Feng Chan" is often seen in the latitude and longitude, but... there are indeed many rumors, It’s not canon...the meaning of Hussar is..."

Of course Fei Qian knew half of what Sima Hui said.

"Baihu Tongyi·Feng Chan" explains the criteria for Feng Chan, "When you first receive the order, change the system to suit the sky. If the world is peaceful, you will be able to achieve the Feng Chan as a sign of peace." ’ In other words, when a new dynasty is established, it must wait until a new political order has been formed, that is, the world is stable, before the basic conditions for becoming a Zen can be met.

"Haha..." Fei Qian shook his head and said, "I don't mean anything special... It's just that this act of conferring Zen... If you look at the reasons, does Mr. Shui Jing think it's different?" 』

"Please give me some advice, Qiaoqi." Sima Hui said.

"It's not about teaching, it's just chatting..." Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "If the words of "White Tiger Tongyi" are true, then... Emperor Qin's act of conferring Zen status, is it... beneficial or harmful? Of? 』

"Hiss...this..." Sima Hui immediately realized the problem and couldn't help but take a breath.

"The theory of Feng Chan originated from Qilu. Fei Qian said calmly, "In the land of Qilu, only Mount Tai is the highest... But this move is the most unfounded." At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty enshrined Zen, and because of this, there was no scripture to check, and no scriptures to follow, so they relied on the words of the alchemists, falsely cited the Yellow Emperor, and blamed the gods... Haha..."

Of course, there are actually many reasons why Qin Shihuang granted Zen status. It may not be that Qin Shihuang didn't know that this matter was unreliable...

On the one hand, Qin Shihuang himself was getting older, and the older he got, the more he felt the approach of death and the decline of physical functions. However, Qin Shihuang faced many problems that were still unresolved, and had to pin his hopes on the illusory. Praying to the gods for their responses, whether it is immortality or praying for blessings, all have almost the same meaning.

Another aspect, as Fei Qian pointed out, is that Mount Tai is in the land of Qilu, and this area was not originally the homeland of the Qin State. If the Qin State wanted to conquer this land, it would have to let the Qi State's Jixia A bunch of guys from the Academy should shut up, adopt the Qilu Land's argument, and hold a Zen Ceremony, which is undoubtedly a measure that can achieve many goals.

Being satisfied with the false comfort in Qin Shihuang's heart is conducive to local public opinion control. It can also consume local supplies, weaken Shandong's power, and erect Qin Emperor as a sign of orthodoxy...

When Qin Shihuang conferred Zen status, he must have thought it was very good, but in fact it was of no use.

Even though the people of Shandong were granted Zen status by Emperor Qin, they still acted the same way. This shows that under the circumstances at that time, not many people believed in the "Female Zen" thing!

As for what Guan Zhong said, "In ancient times, seventy-two families were granted the title of Zen Liang father in Taishan, but only two out of ten reporters from Yiwu Institute" are basically nonsense, just like the stock market sales brokers of later generations opened their mouths and said all kinds of things. This terminology is just to make his words sound more credible. As for whether he believes it or not, there are two opinions.

"Hussars..." Sima Hui was about to say something when he saw an attendant coming to report that Zheng Xuan was here. He couldn't help but be startled for a moment, then he burst out laughing and said with a pun, "Okay. Moreover, the "Admonishing Doctor" is here...I..."

How could Fei Qian let the old fox run away and grabbed its tail? Well, he stretched out his hand to stop Sima Hui's movement. "Zhongda Qinglong Temple is fighting hard in the front, but Mr. Shui Jing is just sitting back and watching?" What's the harm in sitting back and listening to Duke Zheng's opinions? 』

"this……"

While Sima Hui was hesitating, he saw Zheng Xuan walking over with his face as heavy as water, his big sleeves riding, and he was whirring...
