Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1677 Who stands in the wind
and north.

Fei Qian looked up at the sky, only to see the blue sky, as pure as a whole piece of sapphire, and the dots of clouds were soft, like big or small cotton candy.

Well, it's been a long time since I ate marshmallows.

Many things from later generations were a luxury in the Han Dynasty, but perhaps it can be regarded as a kind of compensation. There were many things in the Han Dynasty, but later generations did not have them.

Just like the current landscape, this is a relatively clean sky, and no matter how it is governed in future generations, such a pure sky will no longer be visible, and only in the Great Northwest Construction Corps can we get a glimpse of its beauty.

The morning sun shone on the clouds, and some of them were blurred. Birds sang and flew in the air, and then threw themselves into the distant mountains and forests.The mountains are still mostly blue, unlike the later generations, which are generally gray and yellow.

"Speed ​​up! Get to Pingyang before tomorrow!" Fei Qian ordered.

The orderly answered loudly, and then the horseshoes flew forward and backward, and then the whole line of troops accelerated and headed towards Pingyang.

Apart from the sounds of his own line of work, there were no other sounds around, and Fei Qian could clearly distinguish which one was the sound of horseshoes, which one was the sound of scales, and which one was the snoring of horses. Voice……

And what will never be seen in later generations is that when walking, sometimes you will see a large string of shit pulled out by the horse, forming a line of shit, and then the cavalry behind are also accustomed to avoiding it. Still follow the original route.

The most important thing is that Fei Qian didn't think such a situation would be disgusting and dirty...

Of course, in the city, it is still necessary to isolate the feces. After all, it is okay to say that in the wild, in the city, the feces that are not cleaned up in time will attract a large number of flies and mice. Many cities in ancient Rome were not strict because of sanitation management. As a result, the plague eventually appeared, and then it was destroyed.

It is precisely because of the fact that cows and horses can shit anywhere at any time, now there is an emerging industry at the entrances of some big cities controlled by Yu Feiqian, which is renting and selling cows and horses' shit pockets, and if the merchants The cows and horses left the city, and the shit bag and the excrement in it can be discounted to these people, which is worth a penny or two.

The nobles don't bother to touch these things. Anyway, if their own horses spilled all the way, they don't have to worry about it because they have their own servants to follow behind to clean up.

Of course, the best thing is to play in the manor or restaurant that he set up in the suburbs. Naturally, there are not so many long-winded rules of General Hussars.

Because there are too many gentry children gathered in Pingyang, and the city is relatively noisy, the restaurants that can go to all kinds of religions and nine streams can not fully meet the needs of these gentry children, just like many rich children in later generations basically look down on so-called star hotels. Basically, it’s the same as going to any club, and there are gradually more small manors in the outskirts of Pingyang.

Among these manors, the most outstanding one is Shuiyuexuan, which dug an artificial pond abruptly, and then built it in the middle of the pond.If it were in a normal day, at this time Shuiyuexuan would probably only have servants busy, and the gentry children would wait until Shen Shi to appear one after another, chatting with each other, or exchanging some information, until the sunset That's when it really starts to get lively.Drinking with Meiji's makeup, or eating and drinking, or reciting poems and odes, lasted until midnight, or even into the early morning, which was considered a basic process.

For the children of the gentry, the light of day that everyone has can no longer prove that they are different. Only drinking all night in the dark can highlight the difference between them and ordinary people.

However, this time, the children of the gentry gathered here one by one early in the morning, clustered in groups of three or four, and there were small voices of mutual discussion from time to time.

General Hussars is going back to Pingyang.

It is said that he will also host this school competition!

Such news is enough to make these gentry children drop their original entertainment items, and keep in a good state to cope with this opportunity. Food, wine, beautiful women, etc., are just entertainment in the minds of most gentry children , only authority is the first-class serious matter.

From ancient times to the present, there is only one stable and objective standard for academic articles, which is the number of words. The rest of the standards are extremely idealistic.Just like whether Li Bai's poems are better or Du Fu's poems are better, whether Liu Yong's ci is better or Xin Qiji's ci is better, there is no way to just draw a score, and it is normal for [-] people to have [-] standards.

So, what is the standard of Hussar generals, and what are the excellent articles in this competition.

So what will this standard be?

The general trend of the world?

Trivia in the hometown of farmers and workers?

Everyone is eagerly pondering this question, but what they say may not be the same as what they think in their hearts, but one thing is the same. They all hope that they can stand out in this competition...

The most important thing is that this time Wang Chang has already stated that he will not participate in the big competition, and he will directly follow General Hussars to Chang'an to take up an official position, which means that this time there are fewer powerful competitors by half!
The rest is the Sima of the Sima family!

Of course, when chanting this, many gentry children would accentuate the pronunciation, just like Ah Q first gained the upper hand in terms of personal momentum.

A family from Hanoi is ashamed to come to Bingzhou!
How can you have this face!
It's like the later generations of Liangjiang went to the frontier provinces to take the college entrance examination. Even if the test scores were high, no one thought that this guy was powerful and capable.If it's not for Mr. Shui Jing's face, let the Sima family know what the real "Sima" is!
"Then who is here! Here it is!" Suddenly a voice came from outside the hall.

"What?! So fast!" Someone in Shuiyuexuan couldn't help but yelled in surprise, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. The impatient disciple immediately stood up, regardless of the bean plate and pot that were brought down by the corner of his clothes Can, and rushed out in a hurry, and immediately led other people to follow suit.

After the black group of people ran out, they bumped into the servant who was holding the water, and the servant who said "coming" just now asked, "Where are you? "

The servant trembled and almost became a ball, and even spilled a lot of water from the basin in his hand, and replied tremblingly: "Small, small... the small one said take, take water... bring water I... no, I don't know..."

"..." A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, the wind was chaotic.

"Disturbing the nobleman deserves death!!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the steward immediately came out to smooth things over, "Come on! Drag it down! Thirty whips!" Then he hurriedly turned around with a smile on his face, "It's all right to serve the nobleman again. Count me, count me..."

……(￣ー￣*|||(-_-メ)……

Standing in the wind, there are not only the messy sons of the gentry, but also Cai Yan who is a little confused and even a little flustered.

"Nice niece..." Cai Gu, who leaned on the old and sold the old man, sat on the head and muttered, "General Hussars came this time, and on the surface it was said that he was here to supervise the big competition, but in fact, I am afraid...hehe, although the big competition It's also important, but can't Linghu sacrifice wine? So, this time, niece Xian has to put in more thought... Whether Chen Liucai's prosperity will last forever depends on niece Xian...Brother Bojie really is Great vision..."

As Fei Qian's reputation and power continued to grow, the tongue-twisters naturally shut up.Just like there are many courses in later generations such as junior three alliances, primary four transfer to regular classes, etc., for this kind of thing, when the authority of the person concerned reaches a certain level, it is often considered a normal phenomenon.

Because Cai Yan was in Pingyang, the Hedong Wei family didn't even dare to let people go to the school, for fear of causing misunderstandings or associations because of something, and disaster would come immediately.

"General Hussars... Now that he is a powerful person, he still cherishes the old kindness and nostalgia for the past. It is very rare, rare..." Cai Gu sighed, and even began to plan for the future, "... a certain person has gone to book Chen Liu Let the clan select a few intelligent people to come... In the future, it will be regarded as a help, so that the virtuous niece will not be alone without support..." Cai Gu said that not only can he spend money and drink, but he can also plan foresight. Shaking his head quite proudly.

"Uncle..." Cai Yan blushed, and it took a long time before he said, "Yan'er... Yan'er still needs to guard the grave..." Normally, the filial piety is three years, but because the Han Dynasty highly respected filial piety, so the filial piety There are not a few people who have lived with their parents' graves for ten or eight years.

In addition, Cai Yong could be said to be a role model for scholars. Naturally, Cai Yan can't be like ordinary people, and be more casual. Although it has been three years now, Cai Yan's filial behavior has been criticized by others. Praise, some people even go around praising Cai Yan's pure and filial behavior, so it seems very embarrassing now.

So when Cai Yan was a doctor in the court lady, some voices quickly disappeared. Apart from Cai Yan's knowledge is really strong, there is also the blessing of filial piety.After all, if it was replaced by some other man, it would be enough to call him Xiaolian...

But now this title has become an obstacle instead.

"Ah?!" Cai Gu was also stunned, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "Kong Zhongni!"

The matter of children keeping filial piety to their parents was first proposed by Confucius.

The initial mourning refers to the behaviors of the family and relatives of the deceased not drinking alcohol or playing music in terms of diet and daily life during the period from death to burial. It is just to express the grief of the living. It varies from place to place and from nation to nation, and there is no uniform standard. However, Confucius became particularly interested in this custom, and extended it to "rituals". He even had a debate with Zaiyu and recorded down.

Confucius said: It is not benevolent to give it!The son is born for three years, and then he is free from the arms of his parents.The funeral of the husband for three years is the common funeral of the whole world.Is there any love for his parents for three years?
However, the system of Confucius, which is taken for granted, is not favored by many people.At first, Qin Shihuang enforced the three-year system in the form of a decree, but many people thought that this law was thought up by Qin Shihuang, and it did not conform to the reality of people's lives.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Qin system was also inherited, but soon Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty stated in the edict that "everyone will be released for three days after coming out." "Yiyue", it became 36 days, but when it came to Emperor Ai, because it was more convenient to cut down the vassal and control the clan, he specially commended a clan who had been mourning for the empress dowager for three years, and made ten thousand households marquis. It's out of order.

In the Guangwu period, although Guangwu repeatedly emphasized that the funeral system must be learned from Emperor Wen of Han and must be simplified, but at this moment the habit of mourning for three years has become an implicit rule in the circle of upper-class gentry, resulting in Guangwu's imperial edict. Wen, even the descendants of Guangwu recognized the three-year period, and if some officials did not live in mourning for three years, they even made ridicule...

In this way, the three-year period eventually evolved into "the world's general mourning".Criticize those who do not observe filial piety, and praise those who keep filial piety for a long time, which has almost become a kind of pathology.

Later generations, because of the strength of Confucianism and the consideration of the programmatic documents of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, led to the continuous strengthening of the three-year system, and even formulated a series of laws to punish those who did not abide by it...

But it is very interesting that Zaiyu, who contradicted Confucius and was accused of being "inhumane" by Confucius, was ranked ahead of Zigong and was one of the "Ten Philosophers of Confucianism". Matching", "Twelve Philosophers", Zaiyu has always been one of them.In the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Confucius in the imperial courts of all dynasties, Zaiwo also enjoyed the treatment he deserved. During Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Zaiyu was posthumously named "Marquis of Qi".

This is the benefit of standard setters, anyway, the power of interpretation is in their hands...

Regardless of Zaiyu's problem, the problem facing Cai Gu now is that the ancient rule that children need to be filial to their parents has become a damn stone blocking the way for him, and even Chen Liucai's shortcut to get rich !
"Three years have passed... My niece, you don't need to take this to heart..." Cai Gu persuaded with some incomprehensible words, "What's more, if Bo Jie is alive, he will definitely be happy..."

It was fine not to mention Cai Yong, but when Cai Gu said it, Cai Yan called his father again, and couldn't help feeling a little sad again...

"This...isn't...sigh..." Cai Gu was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say for a while.Let the niece give up her filial piety?Or tell others to stop talking about my niece's pure filial piety every day?What kind of filial piety is not ready to keep?
Cai Gu has completely forgotten what he did when he first arrived in Pingyang...

As the saying goes, blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents. If Cai Gu could see Kong Zhongni face to face now, he might be tempted to drag him out and play JJ100 years!You, Kong Zhongni, are fine with showing off your balls, but you want everyone in the world to hide your JJ!

"This matter..." Cai Gu gritted his teeth and said, "It's on my uncle!" These days, eating meat and drinking in Pingyang, Cai Gu feels like the pinnacle of life. As a result, General Hussars became indifferent during this period of time, or said that he had empathized with someone else, wouldn't he fall into a trough for the rest of his life and never recover? !
Could it be that Chen Liucai just watched the opportunity slip away from his hands?
"It's not too late!" Cai Gu was a little heartbroken, why didn't he think of this earlier, could it be that he has been patronizing drinking for a while?However, Cai Gu would never admit such a conclusion, so he stood up, "Uncle usually studies the scriptures, but he didn't pay attention to this matter... Don't panic, niece! Uncle will do it now! No need to send me off!"

"This..." Cai Yan suddenly didn't know whether to agree or reject, she was in a state of confusion, and after a little hesitation, she saw that Cai Gu had already walked out with his sleeves flung.

Cai Yan was stunned, her eyes diverged a little, and then her cheeks gradually turned red and hot, she couldn't help but lay down, covered her face with her hands, and buried some chaotic thoughts in her sleeves.

"My niece...this..." Cai Gu swayed back again, startling Cai Yan, "this...doing work also requires some expenses..." Cai Gu left in such a hurry that he forgot the original Purpose.

For a moment, Cai Yan felt a little weak all over, this uncle, it's not going to get worse...
