Three Kingdoms

It is a huge problem in itself to unify everyone's thoughts. Even at a certain stage in later generations, it is not ruled out that some people are mixed in the queue, pretending to be a certain attitude, but actually thinking in their hearts. The situation is completely different from what is said on the stage.

Therefore, Fei Qian knows that it is unrealistic to achieve complete unification. It can only be achieved by the majority as much as possible, which is already very remarkable.

At the same time, as a leader, you must also maintain a certain degree of mystery, and you cannot let your subordinates know everything. This kind of awe is not pure fear, nor is it directed at everyone, but at some lazy people and some treacherous people.

Needless to say about the treacherous people, but for the lazy people, it is easy to lose awe because they are too familiar.

Most of these lazy people don't have any lofty ideals, or even a schedule that lasts more than a week. What's more serious is that they don't even know what they will do tomorrow after they finish what they did today, and they still need reminders or reminders from others. urge. In front of such people, it is very important to let them have a sense of awe, otherwise they will not be able to do anything while laughing and joking.

But sometimes, subordinates think too much. For Fei Qian, I don't know whether it should be considered a good thing or a bad thing?

Wei Duan and Du Ji may be a little cunning, but they are neither treacherous nor lazy.

In the minds of Wei Duan and Du Ji, what they consider is still not the truth, or in other words, not entirely the truth, but the pros and cons, what is beneficial and what is harmful.

Du Ji was silent for a long time, and when he was almost at the door of his house, he said softly: "I heard that my lord, tomorrow is a banquet for the Military General Colonel..."

"Um? Wei Duan was stunned for a moment, "What Bohou means is..."

Du Ji nodded, "That's what Ji means." 』

Wei Duan frowned and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he said goodbye to Du Ji, got out of Du Ji's car, got into his own car, and turned around to go to Wei Mansion.

After arriving at Wei Mansion, the night was already dark, but Wei Duan still didn't feel tired.

Wei Duan didn't know much about ancient China, which was not a problem. After all, even if he knew about ancient times, it wouldn't prove that his abilities were any good, nor would he get any extra rewards. It was just more knowledge. But today, the Hussar General seemed to be telling the story intentionally or unintentionally, which made Wei Duan have some additional thoughts in his mind.

These thoughts are of course not to look through or verify those ancient records, or to verify what Fei Qian said is correct and what is wrong, but Wei Duan is trying to figure out whether Fei Qian's remarks are correct or not. There is something hidden, and only by understanding this, Wei Duan feels that he can stand in an invincible position.

Wei Duan thought what Du Ji meant was very reasonable, but Wei Duan knew that Du Ji still had some considerations that he had not expressed, just like Wei Duan himself had some thoughts that he had not discussed with Du Ji. It’s not a question of trust or distrust, it’s just that you can’t say it at all.

Can a minister speculate on his superior's intentions and talk openly about it?

Du Ji is not Yang Xiu, nor is Wei Duan. Du Jineng said to Wei Duan that it was for the sake of old friends and old friendships, and the rest was up to him to figure it out for himself.

So what exactly does Fei Qian want to say?

It's definitely not just the so-called ancient stories.

Wei Duan slowly thought about it, and then suddenly stood up, looking in the direction of the Hussar General's office with some fear. After a while, he sat down again and murmured: "Could it be..." ...monarchy? Summon civil and military forces and do a test first? This, this, this...huh...it's really..."

When Wei Duan was unable to formulate specific words, Sima Yi had already arrived at Sima Hui's courtyard.

Although it is said that older people like to go to bed early and get up early, today the Hussar hosted a banquet for Sima Yi and other civil servants. Although it was not a formal banquet, it was considered an ordinary family banquet and there were not so many rules. However, Sima Hui still felt that it was unusual and did not He fell asleep and waited for Sima Yi's return.

"What did the Cavalry General say?" 』Mr. Shui Jing is also concerned about the same issue.

Sima Yi generally recounted what Fei Qian said at the banquet.

"Hussar...ancient times..." Mr. Shui Jing pondered, "could it be that... Hussar wants to practice the ancient methods?" Well, it doesn’t look like...that’s Hua Xu...yes, Hua Xu! 』

Sima Yi also mused, "Uncle, I think I'm just using the name of heaven and earth to do things to rule..."

"How to say? ” asked Sima Hui.

"My lord, I have something to say. In the past, the ancient tribes went south because of the cold weather and fought for the throne of China. The winner was Yanhuang, and the loser either merged with them or fled. Isn't it the same as today?" Sima Yi thought about it and said slowly, "The noble clans in the world belong to various places, just like the tribes in ancient times, scattered in all directions." Now the emperor is weak, just like Hua Xu, who goes by his name and cannot control the heroes. Yan and Huang are fighting in the wild, just as the princes are fighting for hegemony... Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor... Huh..."

Mr. Shui Jing took a breath of cold air and suddenly felt a dull pain in the gap between his teeth due to the sudden flow of cold breath.

Mr. Shui Jing and Sima Hui are also old. Moreover, in the Han Dynasty, hygiene habits were not very good. Many people, including Mr. Shui Jing, did not develop good habits, so his teeth are now starting to break away from the tissue.

Take toothbrushing as an example. Feiqian has made some toothbrushes, but after all, those toothbrushes cannot be compared with the industrial products of later generations. Not only does it taste bad when brushing teeth, but it is also not very useful, so more people still use it. Either he kept his old habit of rinsing his mouth with water, or he wiped his teeth with green salt.

Some people even skip rinsing their mouths after eating. Coupled with insufficient food, nutritional deficiencies, and calcium deficiencies, the natural result is various tooth decay, dental calculus, gum recession, etc. Then teeth begin to fall out in their thirties, and four When I was ten years old, I had gaps everywhere, and when I was fifty or sixty years old, I basically had no teeth...

When you look back after you lose the teeth, are the teeth actually damaged in one day?

No, it was just a bit of corruption over decades of carelessness.

Isn't this very similar to the current big man?

The big man was not fine yesterday, but fell down today. In the past three to four hundred years, various problems have not been solved in time. Instead of dealing with the problems caused by various management levels in a timely manner, they are thinking about how to deceive the superiors and conceal them. The cover-up resulted in some mold here and a little spot there. At first they seemed like minor problems and not fatal, but after a long period of accumulation, they became completely broken and irreparable.

So, is this what Qiusi means?

Or is it that the nobles in Shandong are like insects crowded in a basin and must start killing each other?

After all, some gossip coming from Shandong during this period has indeed proved this point. If the severe cold in Mobei caused the Hu people to go south, then the severe cold in Guanzhong caused strife in Shandong.

In the end, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang merged into one, or...

Yanhuang.

Sima Yi was silent.

Mr. Shui Jing was also silent.

The two of them sat for a long time before Mr. Shui Jing slowly stood up and walked outside the hall. He looked at the bright red light faintly appearing in the east with some trembling, "Ah, the sun is about to rise..."

Sima Yi also stood up and walked behind Sima Hui, "Yes." The night will eventually pass. 』

"Then just wait until dawn comes." Mr. Shui Jing said, "After sunrise, you can see more clearly." 』

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Wei." 』

At this moment when the darkness is about to pass and dawn is about to come, it is not only Sima Hui and Sima Yi who are looking at the east, but also Zhuge Jin, Wang Chang Hanguo and these relatively younger middle- and upper-level officials.

Although they do not have high authority in the Hussar political group, they are basically responsible for some relatively specific and trivial chores. For example, Han Guo assisted Jia Xu in Longyou some time ago to handle and adjust Local officials review and supervise the authenticity of these personnel's political achievements and evaluate their merits.

In such a matter, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of people, not to mention those who offer bribes, those who send money and beautiful women, and all kinds of people who seek to establish relationships, such as implicitly or directly stating that they and Han Sui were the same people back then. I don’t know how many good friends there are, they are all kinds of weird and wonderful.

Of course, there were also those who begged and begged, saying that they were confused for a while, talking about their various difficulties, and then hugging Han Guo's lap with tears in their eyes...

"do you know? Han Guo and a few friends stood under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the red light on the horizon in the distance. "At first, I still believed in those guys. I saw those older than me with a lot of gray beards." The people cried out in pain and shed tears because they couldn’t bear it..."

"ah? Then you've fallen into a trap. Zhuge Jin said, "Although there is a saying in the scriptures about respecting the old and loving the young, it must be based on the situation. You cannot blindly respect the old and love the young in vain. Just like what Qiao Qi said today, we should deal with the matter first. Fault, and then rescue his family. 』

Wang Chang shook his head and said, "Wrong again." The old and the young, the young and the young, are the only way to be harmonious to others, old and young. However, they themselves neglect the old and young because of their selfish desires, so how can they let others take care of their old and young? If this is the case, then can people of all ages in the world make mistakes with confidence? If you do something wrong, you should be punished. It has nothing to do with old or young, and it has nothing to do with whether you receive relief or not. 』

Zhuge Jin was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Wen Shu's words make sense." So what did you do in the end? 』

Han Guo smiled and said, "I suggested to Jia Shijun that we should follow the example of Chang'an and set up a nursing home and a Salesian Bureau in Longyou... and send special personnel to review the qualifications of widows, widows, and others..."

Zhuge Jin put his hands on his hands and smiled, "How wonderful!" 』

Wang Chang nodded and said, "This also requires controlling admission qualifications to prevent unfilial people from abandoning the young and old." 』

Han Guo nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "How do you understand the ancient theory that my lord said today?" 』

Zhuge Jin hesitated for a moment, "Jin is stupid and doesn't understand yet..."

"Tzuyu, this is your fault," Wang Chang glanced at Zhuge Jin, "Why are you so cautious?" You had some reservations about what Gai Zhi said just now, and when asked about what the lord said, you pretended not to know. Could it be that you feel that neither Gai Zhi nor I are good enough to be your friends? 』

Zhuge Jin coughed, "Wen Shu said...Jin is wrong." I hope you two can bear with me. ” Zhuge Jin bowed his hands to Han Guo and Wang Chang as a courtesy, and then said, “It’s just that I don’t think it’s appropriate for ministers to discuss the monarch in private. 』

Wang Chang waved his hand and said, "This is not a private discussion." Private discussions come from selfish motives and are based on selfish desires. And what you and I have discussed has been agreed upon directly in front of the Lord, and we have nothing to fear, so how can we talk about it privately? My lord has always been far-sighted and long-term. I think this ancient theory is more than just idle chatter... I think that what my lord means when he talks about this ancient time is probably to separate humans and gods... Humans are humans. Huaxu was a human, Pangu was a human, Yanhuang was also a human, Huaxia inheritance is the inheritance of humans, not gods... In the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were countless people who prayed for gods and immortals. Has anyone become a god or immortal? Therefore, I think what the Lord is talking about should fall on the "people" of China. 』

Han Guo nodded, shook his head and said, "Brother Wen Shu is right, but I think your lord's meaning should be about "use"." The general trend of the world is surging, and you and I are all working hard. If you don't know how to "use" it, you are like the ancestors of Hua Xu, who are confused and don't know where to end. If you don't "use" it well, you are like the descendants of Pangu. , despite the glory of our ancestors, in the end we could only escape with an ax and become Yue people... Now that you and I are officials, the power in our hands is like a giant axe. If we can't use it carefully, I'm afraid it will In the end, he became a "Yue Ren"..."

After Han Guo finished speaking, Wang Chang frowned and nodded, and then they both stared at Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin was helpless and could only raise his hand to give himself some time to organize his words. After a while, Zhuge Jin slowly said: "In other words, what Wen Shu said makes sense." But my opinion is slightly different from the two of you. 』

"oh? ” Wang Chang cupped his hands and said, “Please enlighten me. 』

"Don't dare. ” Zhuge Jin replied, “I think the focus of what your lord is talking about should be ‘struggle’. 』

""Fight"? ’ The two of them were thinking.

Zhuge Jin nodded, "You must not not "fight", and you must not "fight" too much. The people of ancient times were forced by the cold to go from vast to small, just like in the early days of the founding of the Han Dynasty, all the land in the world was land that could be enfeoffed, so there was no dispute. Then the princes and kings in various places were enfeoffed and joined together to cover each other. There were many "fights" and the country was in chaos. Until there is someone like Pangu who can rule the four directions, or maybe the Yanhuang generation stands out among the princes and turns "struggle" into "non-struggle", and this "struggle" cannot last long, just like Yanhuang defeated Chi You , and will not pursue them all the way to South Vietnam... Therefore, fighting is to avoid fighting. Just like today's great Han people, they must "fight", but they must not "fight" too much. Just like...well, just like the Lord accepting Liu Xuande and making him meet..."

"Well..." Wang Chang and Han Guo both fell into deep thought.

"Ha, the sun is rising!" Zhuge Jin looked at the red sun jumping over the horizon and smiled slightly.

The sky was filled with morning glow, and the red sun couldn't wait to shake the clouds on its body, and then swayed its body and climbed up quickly, and soon turned into a huge fireball, so majestic that it couldn't be looked directly at...

Under the early morning sunshine, Pang Tong wandered to the General's Mansion and clocked in for work.

Have breakfast by the way.

I work for the lord and eat and drink at his place. Is there any problem?

Can this be called cheating? This is called working during meal time!

Because Fei Qian developed new varieties of rice noodles, rice cakes, etc., the breakfast options at General Hussar Mansion gradually became more varied, but not so many variations every day, but could be changed every few days. It’s not like porridge, pickles and pancakes every day.

"Oh, it's tofu pudding again." Pang Tong stretched his head to see what he was eating, and then he bowed his hand to Fei Qian and said, "Ah, I have met my lord." 』

"Here you go, sit down." Fei Qian held the bowl, glanced sideways at Pang Tong, and then took a sip of tofu bread. "I mean, Shi Yuan, how do I feel that you care more about food?" 』

"how come? Pang Tong responded casually, tilting his head and instructing the servants, "Yes, add more pickled radish, um, add more fried beans, and add some vinegar!" Well, it’s very pretty! 』

"Chihe..." Pang Tong took a sip of tofu puffs, then paired it with pickled radish dices and crispy fried beans. He shook his head and took another bite of Hu Pancake. "This tastes good... By the way, um, my lord, eat them all." I've been stuck for a few days. How about changing it to rice noodles tomorrow? I think the rice noodles I had last time were pretty good. 』

"Chicken soup noodles?" Fei Qian asked.

"Yep! Pang Tong sighed and nodded, "That number!" 』

"Fine. ” Fei Qian explained everything.

There should be a lot of rice noodles in stock. Although fresh rice noodles are not easy to store, dried rice noodles can still be stored for a long time in winter, especially in cellars on high loess slopes. They are simply natural storage rooms. It will be as humid and insect-ridden as the South.

Fei Qian drank a bowl of tofu patties and ate two biscuits, then quickly put down the bowl. Then he looked at the black rice pail and drank the third bowl of tofu patties, nibbling on what should be the fourth or fifth biscuits. Pancake, looked at Pang Tong's chin again, and sighed slightly, "Shiyuan, you seem to have gained weight again..."

"It's there, it's impossible, you're wrong!" 』

Pang Tong didn't even think about it, he just vetoed it skillfully, and then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, my lord, the ancient theory you talked about yesterday is very interesting..."

"oh? "Fei Qian's attention was diverted as expected, "What do you think? Let's talk and listen. 』

Pang Tong pulled his fingers and said with obvious confidence, "I think that the Lord's talk about antiquity, in addition to its superficial discussion and debate standards for Qinglong Temple's great talk, should also have three levels of meaning. The first level is Chaos always tends to unity. Needless to say, for the second level, there must be a strong leader. For the third level..."

"..." Fei Qian slowly opened his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then subconsciously took the bowl with only one tofu pout left at the bottom and put it to his mouth, drank the last bit of it, in his mind I was circling and thinking about it, did I mean this what I said yesterday?
