Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1385 Stool
Jin.

Taiyuan.

Tong Yefeng younger brother.

When mentioning Shanxi, there are a few words like this popping up.

Maybe there are Shanxi merchants.

However, from the perspective of the entire history, it seems that this area of ​​Shanxi has been working hard to move closer to the central government, but it has always been outside the mainstream circle of China.

It's strange, but it's inevitable.

Because of Shanxi's geographical environment, after the small glacier freezes the line to the south, it is inevitable that due to climate reasons, the mountains and rivers originally located in Shanxi will degrade like the ancient city of Loulan. A large number of deforestation and plowing eventually led to soil erosion in Shanxi.

Although the Shangdang area of ​​Taiyuan is not as miserable as Bingbei, it is also bordered by Hudi, so it has the style of Hudi, loves martial arts, and there are not as many heirs of Confucian classics as Shandong gentry, and it is precisely because of this, In many cases, they are regarded as a group of country bumpkins by the Shandong gentry.

This situation is also a kind of helplessness.The harsh living environment naturally causes more people to spend most of their energy on survival, and they don't have much mind to read scriptures and think about things above the court. Therefore, for balance, most of the later generations of government It's all because of the low ranking rate among the students in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it's not without historical reasons that Shandong is a chancellor and Shanxi is a general.

Although the concept of aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty has been somewhat devolved, there are still not many people in Shanxi who can be called aristocratic families...

Taiyuan Wang family?

The Wang family must continue to be a high-ranking official with at least two thousand stones in this generation, otherwise it will also be in decline.

Originally, according to the Book of Rites and Taishigong records, it needs to be kings, princes, etc., and those who can build ancestral temples are considered family members. However, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the political system changed and power was transferred. Foreign relatives, nobles, powerful, civil officials and even eunuchs were in charge. The central and local powers, until now, the standard of aristocratic families has been reduced to a family whose children are tired of officials to more than two thousand shi. That is to say, there are families where the father is two thousand shi and the son is two thousand shi. It can be called a family in general.

It's like at the beginning, some provinces, departments, countries, and countries had to put up a special sign, which seemed to be high-end, but then everyone flocked to this and that, and it was worthless, and even the sign was embarrassed to hang up.

Therefore, at this moment, Wang Ling was conveniently waiting twenty miles outside the city of Taiyuan, together with the Wen family and other local clans.Although Sima Fang was not from Taiyuan, but it happened to be the meeting, so he waited with him.

Everyone gathered together, although they were saying something, they were all smiling, but no one was thinking about the conversation. The so-called smiles were also a little stiff, but it was just a barely maintained gentleman's demeanor...

chilly.

There is only a pavilion here, and the wind is blowing all around. After standing in the wild for a long time, how can it not be cold? How can there be any desire to chat happily?
"I'm coming!"

A sharp-eyed person stood on tiptoe and saw the cavalrymen rushing forward from afar.

"The Vanguard Brigade of General Zhengxi is already ten miles away!"

The crowd couldn't help but roar, and the formation suddenly became a little disorganized.

Isn't it a land of ten miles? Even though it's just the beginning of spring and the wind is still cold in the wild, none of these gentry children are willing to hide behind the chariots and horses to keep warm and avoid the cold. After all, the positions arranged according to the size of each family cannot be easily given up to others.

"It's coming! It's really coming!"

At the far end of the line of sight, the three-color battle flag jumped out high and fluttered in the wind among many banners, followed by the red cherry blossoms on the knight's head, followed by the dark iron armor and blood-red cloak, and when a row of When the soldiers marched in like mountains and scales, the people who had been waiting could not help but take a long breath...

"A real tiger..."

It seemed that the enthusiasm that had been suppressed and waited for a long time had finally found a breakthrough. Everyone seemed to unanimously began to praise Fei Qian's troops, and then moved forward involuntarily.

A forward general in the Zhengxi Army, with a helmet on his top and armor, has an extraordinary bearing and stands out from the crowd.

"Could this be General Zhengxi? Sure enough, he is so brave!"

"See General Zhengxi!"

Some people in the rear who had never seen Fei Qian came in without knowing it. Seeing Lu Bu's sturdy figure and full of murderous aura, they couldn't help thinking that he was General Zhengxi, and they even started shouting loudly, saying hello...

Sima Fang didn't know Zhengxi General Fei Qian either, but he stroked his beard and took a slight look at Wang Ling who was still standing motionless, he knew it and was not moved.

Lu Bu was a little embarrassed.

I originally thought that with the reputation built up in Wuyuan Daijun back then, even if I came to Taiyuan, which is a mountain away, some people would know or remember him, but I didn't expect that when he came out of the crowd , These people actually thought he was General Zhengxi, and started to shout indiscriminately...

Are these guys blind?

Didn't you see the Lu Zijing flag behind me?

How to do this, pretend that you didn't hear it, and move on?
Or shout out that Lao Tzu is Lu Bu and not Fei Qian, you blind people can see better?

Fortunately, Wang Ling took a few steps slowly, cupped his hands towards Lu Bu, and said loudly, "See Marquis Wen."

"Marquis Wen? Isn't this person Zhengxi?"

"That is to say, I heard that Zhengxi is a general of literature and Confucianism, how can it be so..."

"..." Lv Bu's eyes and ears were sharp. Although the voices were noisy, he heard a few words, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He nodded at Wang Ling, and said, "General Zhengxi will be here soon!" Losing interest in talking to these people, he turned his horse's head and walked back.

Wang Ling was taken aback for a moment, then took a step back without changing his expression.

Sima Fang laughed lightly twice.

"It's coming! This time it's really coming!"

Finally, the banner of the command of the three armies appeared on the horizon. Beside the banner, there was a red flame border on a black background, with a big Chinese character Fei on it, jumping in the wind.

Then there were hundreds of cavalrymen, all of them were strong and well-dressed men, and they were all wearing black light armor painted with black lacquer. Behind their backs were black cloaks and red cloaks, with their crotches between the horse's neck and chest. There is also a circle of black leather armor around it, like a black wave, rolling in!

Those black-faced red cloaks floating in the air are like blood-colored waves surging out of this billowing black tide!
The scene was silent, and the original noise seemed to be suppressed back into the throat.

Lu Bu's fingers holding the whip had turned white, but he didn't say a word. Gao Shun, Wei Xu and others who followed him also held their breath, just looking at the scene in front of them.They have also led the army, and they can be regarded as a party of princes, but in front of the real strength of General Zhengxi, they are still in the sky!

This is also the reason why Lu Bu is unwilling to go with Fei Qian, and would rather be a striker.

Wealth is pressing!
Among the cavalry of General Zhengxi's personal guard, if you pull out any one at random, you can buy three or five ordinary cavalry with this outfit, which is worth twenty ordinary infantry. If the militia is counted, it can be worth at least 50 people...

If Lu Bu’s own ordinary cavalry is a miniature car like QQ Tutuo, then Feiqian’s cavalry can be said to be composed of a group of big Gs. Compared with each other, even if you don’t understand the price of a car at all In terms of market conditions, one can intuitively feel which one is stronger and which one is better.

Ordinary people see local tyrants, do they hate the rich more, or kneel and lick more?Or on the surface, with an appearance of hating the rich rather than surrender, and then secretly crying and asking to be a local tyrant's leg pendant?

Lu Bu didn't know, but he knew that he was dwarfed by comparison, and this feeling was very complicated.It was so complicated that Chen Gong stepped forward and said something, but Lu Bu couldn't hear clearly.

Wang Ling took a step forward and paid homage: "Subordinate Wang Ling, welcome General Zhengxi!"

Then everyone also bent down one after another, bowing to heaven.

Etiquette in the Han Dynasty was divided into Tian Yi, Shi Yi, and Tu Yi.There are also some long bows, brigade bows, special bows, side three bows, etc., which are used on different occasions and by different groups of people.

Although there are many etiquettes, there is one thing, it is not good to bow down.Even if it is to meet the emperor, there is only the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping during the great court meeting, and the rest of the time is just bowing.

Fei Qian got off his horse, helped Wang Ling up, looked around with a smile, and said loudly, "Excuse me, everyone!"

"Your subordinates from Taiyuan came to greet the general, prepared a little wine, and hoped that General Zhengxi would accept it with a smile..." Wang Ling introduced some prominent figures in the surrounding area to Fei Qian, and then he guided forward slightly without saying much. After a while, it indicates that there is a banquet in the pavilion.

Of course, this banquet does not mean that Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, can eat and drink all he wants here, but it is just a courtesy. Fei Qian sits in the pavilion and accepts the toast from everyone. Normally, he doesn’t even know the dishes on the table Take a bite, the real banquet will not be considered a formal reception until it arrives in Taiyuan City.

Fei Qian didn't hold back, nodded, and said loudly: "So, I'm ashamed to accept it!"

But before arriving at the pavilion, Fei Qian couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he saw it.

Although the banquet in the pavilion was exquisite, it wasn't necessarily amazing. What Fei Qian didn't expect was that there were wooden stools placed on top of the seats in the pavilion...

If you look closely, the height of the table case is also higher than normal.

Fei Qian glanced at Wang Ling, but saw Wang Ling bowed his head and followed humbly with his hands folded, and his expression was normal.

"Yanyun, did you place this?" Fei Qian pointed to the stool and said.

"General, this is the wish of the elders in Taiyuan... Knowing that the general is in armor, it is inconvenient to sit on the table, so I specially set it up here..." Wang Ling said calmly, as if he really devoted himself to the pursuit of success The same as I thought.

Ha ha……

Believe me and go to hell.

After Fei Qian first arrived in Pingyang, he planned to promote high stools and high tables, but then it was abandoned. Is it because Fei Qian himself or others did not know that sitting on high stools and high tables was comfortable?

Just roll out a high stool casually, and then everyone in the world will be in an uproar and accept it?

Ha ha.

When did high stools appear in large numbers in history, or even become mainstream?

Beginning in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it prevailed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there was a term called Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

And the Sui and Tang Dynasties...

Dirty Tang, Turtle Tang is not called casually.

There is a saying that is not in the position and does not seek the government, and this sentence will be more obvious in the Han Dynasty. Whether the seat is sitting on a mat or a stool represents a certain political tendency!

Without historical development to lay a certain foundation, just push the Hu stool at will and think that people from all over the world will flock to buy it, waving gold and silver?

Who are you kidding?
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the contradictions within the ruling class were very large. The party members and eunuchs thought that the contradictions between the aristocratic families and the royal family were relatively large.

Before Dong Zhuo entered the capital of the Han Dynasty and was ripped off as a fig leaf, there were two things...

The first one: In the first year of Zhongping, Huang Fusong, the chariot and cavalry general, broke the yellow scarf and shocked the world.When Yan Zhong stopped believing in the Duling, he said Song said: "When the husband is hard to get but easy to lose, it is the time; when the time comes and does not follow, it is the opportunity. Therefore, the sage always moves according to the time, and the wise man must act because of the opportunity. Today, the general encounters a rare thing." Luck, follow the opportunity that is easy to understand, but if you follow the luck and don't touch it, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity, how will you enjoy the big name?" If Song doesn't follow, loyalty will die.

The second one: In the fourth year of Zhongping, Chen Yi, the son of the late Taifu Chen Fan, and Xiang Kai, a famous sorcerer from Qingzhou Pingyuan, both visited the residence of Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou. , Wang Fen then conspired with Xu You from Nanyang, Zhou Jing from Peiguo, and others to connect with local heroes in Jizhou, intending to abolish Emperor Ling and make Hefei Hou emperor, and even pulled Cao Cao to join the rebellion, but Cao Cao refused.

These two incidents show that in the eyes of party members and even some scholar-bureaucrats, the Han Dynasty is no longer as sacred as it is said in the Confucian classics. They have begun to ignore the Han Dynasty for the benefit of their own group. up.

At least Han Lingdi is no longer in his eyes.

Of course, Emperor Han Ling was not considered an excellent emperor, and he did many foolish things, but at least Emperor Han Ling was also the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Why did so many people ignore him in just four or five years? The Western Qiang has not yet been pacified, and the Yellow Turbans have not been cleansed, so they are going to agitate, or even rebel against themselves?
Most people may have the impression of Emperor Han Ling that he is a rich man and sells official porridge, but many people don't know that Emperor Han Ling is good at Hu Fu, Hu Zhang, Hu Bed, Hu Si, Hu Fan, Hu Konghou, and Hu Di , Hu Wu, attracting nobles and relatives in the capital to compete for it...

So this has also become a reason for rebellion.

Sitting on the table, even if the table is not upright, this is the etiquette code passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Then, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, why did he behave like this?
Is the emperor's seat easy to sit on?
How can a person who can sit on the emperor's position for 20 years, take advantage of the party and eunuch politics, and even set up the Hongdu Academy in an attempt to continuously suppress the growing party group, how can he be a stupid person?
When Emperor Han Ling was in power, there were many barbarian rebellions in the surrounding areas. Although they were quelled one by one by Lu Zhi, Zang Min, Zhu Jun, Huangfusong and others, as a Han emperor, he fell in love with Hu because of the rebellion of the barbarians. Human utensils?
In fact, a simple analysis shows that Emperor Han Ling did not believe in party members, so even the generals who were sent to quell the surrounding rebellions were either from the northwest frontier, or from counties and counties on the edge of Shandong gentry like Guangling and Kuaiji. No one would let a behemoth like the Yuan family control military power at all...

Therefore, Emperor Han Ling used beards not because he really liked them, but to express an attitude.

And now, as Taiyuan, which has long been on the border with Hudi, the display of these Hu stools is actually testing the attitude of General Fei Qian who is marching west...

To sit, or not to sit?
