Is a Confucian scholar a good person or a bad person?
Obviously, simple good or bad can be marked for certain things in a certain period of time, but it cannot define the entire life of a person. It can only be said that the good or bad accounts for a lot, whether it is better or worse.
Then, if it involves a whole class, the quality of it is even more complicated.
When a Confucian scholar takes off his shoes in the cold winter and puts on the naked feet of a poor but willing to improve children, but he steps on the mud barefoot, is this Confucian scholar good or bad?
So when this Confucian scholar jumped his feet and scolded the cavalry for being lawless, stared at the monarch, and even began to connect to overthrow Fei Qian's political collection that was not in line with the etiquette and law, is this Confucian scholar good or bad?
Therefore, good or bad is determined by position.
The same is true for truth, rules, laws, and systems.
The law that is conducive to the current rule may not necessarily benefit the future.
Emperor Wu of Han advocated Confucianism, but he never expected that Confucianism has now become a vine tangled on the Han tree, which is mutually reborn and mutually restrained, and has both a symbiotic relationship and a parasitic pattern. Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people. Among the Confucian scholars, there are those who are kind to the people, and those who deceive the world and steal reputation.
Some people can read the principles of being a human being from the Four Books and Five Classics, while some people can only be stubborn, some are square, some are smooth, some are arrogant, and some are humble. But no matter what kind of people are, through rituals such as reading the Four Books and Five Classics, these people seem to have become a whole. The mutual appreciation between literati may come from the pain of reading, and then this mutual appreciation sometimes even transcends the country and the law.
This is true for Xu Yi and Pang Jing.
The same is true for Handan Business.
In Xiliang, there are almost no one who has read scriptures like Pang Jing, and who has read books in the Imperial Academy when he was young.
And the alternatives of Xiliang, the Zhang family.
These people are all Confucian scholars.
Handan Business is gone.
Under the cover of night, I slipped along the side and left like a mouse.
"The country is about to die, and the monsters are everywhere..."
Xu Yi was filled with emotion.
To a certain extent, Xu Yi regarded Pang Jing as his "her own person". After all, the position of the chief clerk is not a confidant, so he must not be allowed to do so.
Who is the "monster" Xu Yi said?
Maybe it’s about Handan Business, but Pang Jing thinks it should refer to Fei Qian more.
Pang Jing sat aside and responded silently.
Although Pang Jing is a big family in Jiuquan, he is an "outlier". He doesn't like to use guns and dance sticks. He likes to be a scripture from Shandong, and he emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.
Xu Yi is not a so-called evil person in the traditional sense, or even a good person. When he arrived in Jiuquan, he did not corruption or abuse his power, nor did he impose excessive taxes, and encouraged water conservancy and farming. It can be said that in his position, Xu Yi was a qualified prefect. Perhaps the only thing that was not qualified was that he did not agree with Fei Qian.
Just like most of the children of Shandong gentry, they think that Fei Qian is not good or that is not right. The most important thing is that Fei Qian is against the law!
The Confucian Tao!
Fei Qian built Qinglong Temple and betrayed the original meaning of the scriptures!
Therefore, although Xu Yi was in Jiuquan, his heart was in Shandong. He obeyed the order of the emperor, not the law of the cavalry!
Pang Jing was a like-minded person found by Xu Yi in the wine spring. The most important thing is that the two of them have the same "values", both of which are traditional values ​​advocated by the Han Dynasty, "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness."
"How do you watch the cavalry?" Xu Yi asked.
Pang Jing hesitated for a moment, "The cavalry... is as its name is unfathomable..."
At the beginning, Pang Jing thought that Fei Qian was here to show his force, and used it to subdue the wealthy people in Liangzhou, so that Xu Yi and other officials from Shandong would re-stop or show loyalty, they would have to come up with a set of meals that would lead to success or death. Even if they wanted to hold a banquet in Jiuquan, it was the meaning of Hongmen Banquet. However, as the number of people arrived, Pang Jing felt that it was not like Hongmen, but like a covenant.
Because among the people who came, not only were the Han people, but also the Qiang people and Hu people.
Fei Qian will never refuse anyone.
Then everyone who came here refused.
In addition to killing Song Jian at the beginning... and Song Jian was not killed by Fei Qian, but Yang Fu did it. At the same time, Song Jian built his own court, even if he met Pang Jing in Jiuquan, he still wanted to attack him, so this was not a brutal thing.
So Pang Jing thought that Fei Qian wanted to recruit Liangzhou soldiers to fight Cao Cao's attack, but soon fell into suspicion again. Fei Qian did not accept it happily, or "reject" some people's rewards!
It is said that Duan Wei seems to have this meaning, but Fei Qian refused!
When he was cursing Duan Weigan as a hawk, Xu Yi and Pang Jing became more and more confused.
As for those scattered tribes who came to hear the news, or those from Liangzhou who wanted to join the army, Fei Qian did not directly join the army, but sent people to Zhangye, gathered in Zhangye, then went to Yinshan, or to Longyou to concentrate on training. Only after passing the training and assessment can he join the army...
For those who were unwilling to participate in the training, Fei Qian gave away money and food, but did not accept it.
Do you still need training? When the training comes out, Cao Cao will finish the battle, right?
Is this Fei Qianhuo crazy, or is he too confident to be proud?
Pang Jing couldn't understand it, but he didn't think Fei Qian was crazy.
"Unfathomable... Yes, unfathomable..." Xu Yi coughed twice and said hoarsely, "This son is a hero... In the past, cough cough, the Han Dynasty was insignificant and the national rule was three times, and there were traitors who caused usurpation of the disaster. It was the time of heaven or man. Now, the Han Dynasty is in danger, and there are also monsters who have grown up! Ascending to his high position, he must have secret hearts. At first, loyal and arrogant, he will be arrogant for a long time! Such a vicious person should be successful, and he must not let him poison it in China... Cough cough cough cough...
Pang Jing frowned and said, "Envoy Xu, may this... not be like this?"
"Ahem... "Therefore, the world is filled with a sense of turmoil and joy. The world is resentful, and the city is not guarding, and the branches are divided. So the city is empty, and the hills are excavated, harming the people, and the innocent and rotten bones. The riots and thieves and traits in their letters have been recorded. The disasters are not as bad as those of rashness!" "Some sick excitement appeared on Xu Yi's face. He recited a long list of words in one breath, and then glared at Pang Yu and said, "The former king Mang is the cavalry today! Could it be that he really has to wait until that day to know if he is harmed?!"
Pang Jing:『…』
It seems a bit too much to say this, but Pang Jing has no reason to defend himself, or to pat his chest to show that Fei Qian is not Wang Mang's second...
What if?
Just like the gangster said, if you write so many words, is there no suspicion of a word count of water? Or if you are scolded by a boxer, even if you don’t take photos on your phone, it can prove that your heart is clean, and don’t have any obscene thoughts?
"The cavalry may be loyal to the Han Dynasty..." Pang Qing sighed, trying to say something, but he paused in Xu Yi's eyes as if he was a cannibalist, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"Loyalty and righteousness?" Xu Yi sneered, "How can those who kill people become loyal and righteous people? Regardless of the death and injury of the large eunuchs, they say that innocent civilians are also killed and killed! The cavalry rose from the north, first slaughtered innocent surrendered captives and killed them in Pingyang! They also abused the Hu people as slaves, and found that they were killed and injured in mining! There were also expelling rangers, destroying families regardless of good or bad! Which of these things was not done by the cavalry? I would like to ask if there was any loyalty and righteousness, and the slightest of benevolence?"
"In the past, when Cai Zhonglang died suddenly, if he had half of his loyalty and righteousness in his heart, he would have to worry for three years!" Xu Yi said angrily, "But what does the cavalry do? He is lingering in power and greedy for wealth and honor! You can still talk about loyalty and righteousness of such people!"
Xu Yi did not care whether Fei Qian was sad after Cai Yong died, but asked whether he had done these acts that represented sadness and loyalty for others to see!
It’s like the custom of a man who is burying a grand man, no matter whether the dead can know it or not, but the living must see it and eat it!
Otherwise, it will naturally be unfaithful and unfilial!
As for whether the heart is really sad or fake sad, Confucianism doesn't care about this, but it is about the surface etiquette and doing it well. Just like Vietnam in later generations, as long as the average is good, the gap between poverty and wealth is not the focus of its governance.
From a certain perspective, Xu Yi was not wrong.
Fei killed many people.
And many times, it is Fei Kuang's potential unilateral murder.
Bai Bo's "innocent" surrendered soldiers, and had already surrendered. He put down his butcher's knife, but was even killed by Fei Qian! Is this still a little human?! This shows that Fei Qian is a villain who bullies the good and is afraid of evil, and only nods and bows to the powerful, but is extremely cruel to the common people!
Isn’t this Fei Qian’s crime?
Now that he has been arrested and punished by the emperor's edict, what are the injustices to be expressed?
Pang Jing can only be silent.
"Where is the original transformation of Yin and Yang? The circle is nine levels, which one can control it? Only what is the merit? Who... cough cough cough cough cough..." Xu Yi seemed to want to express some emotion, but then he exhaled a breath of resentment, which triggered the trachea and coughed immediately, and could not stop for a long time.
Is Xu Yi's disease chronic disease and bronchitis? This disease is very common, perhaps a long-term cold when I was a child, or a large number of allergens invasions, which have not been well treated, resulting in old lesions. The climate in the northwest is relatively dry and cold, which will aggravate the pain of bronchitis, especially those from the warm Shandong, who are more likely to get sick in autumn and winter.
However, this chronic bronchitis will improve in the warm spring climate. Most of the time it only makes people weak and will not cause death immediately. There are very few infections between people, unlike tuberculosis.
Just like a big man.
The big man not only has bronchitis, but also has inflammation in other places, congested blood vessels and tumors, and almost no one is a good place.
Xu Yi came with lofty ideals, but found that he had stepped into the mud. He felt that Liangzhou people were barbaric and lawless, he felt that Shandong people were full of wisdom and knowledgeable, but he never thought why this happened, so he always thought that he was Qu Zi, and his talent could not be stretched...
Of course, in this grievance, Fei Qian may not have had a "credit" of "Fei Qian".
Although Fei Qian did not directly dismiss these officials sent by the early court, most of them were treated coldly. At the same time, Fei Qian went west through Jia Xu and infiltrated and replaced them with a new official structure, which also made these old officials in the court feel fear.
In the waves of the great era, some people want to mix a piece of wood or a high ground so that they will not be photographed under the waves, while others want to push their arms and beat the oars to fight against the waves.
"Pang Zhubu...but remember the book of sages I read back then?" Xu Yi stopped coughing and stared at Pang Jing and asked.
Pang Jing nodded and said, "This is natural."
"Then what is the way of sages? What is the ethics of heaven and earth?" Xu Yi's voice was hoarse, "What should the emperor have since he had an imperial edict? What should he do if he did not follow the edict? What is the difference between the Dong thief? Where is the court rules and regulations? Where is the ethics of heaven and earth? The cavalry said order, how can they be loyal and righteous? The order of the Han Dynasty is the law of the people of the world, not the cavalry... cough cough..."
When he was excited, Xu Yi coughed again.
Pang Jing sighed and persuaded Xu Yi to take care of her health, but Xu Yi just shook his hand, and then coughed so hard that he couldn't breathe...
In the traditional moral concept of the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian's current separatist rule of the world was already an usurpation, but it can be said that the emperor agreed and had a clear letter of letter. Therefore, these Shandong officials, or people with traditional concepts of loyalty, were not easy to say anything. The emperor recognized it, what could they say?
But now it’s different. Cao Cao said that he had an imperial edict to eliminate the thief’s rebellion!
This thing is like Liu Da'er's imperial edict in history. Some people admit it, while others refuse to admit it.
There is a reason to admit the account, and there is a saying that if you don’t admit the account, it is just like ancient literati likes to persuade bitches to be good, but they also like to force good men to become prostitutes.
'Well...' Xu ​​Yi took a breath and said to Pang Jing, 'I'm sorry to ask Huang Dalang of Huang to come...'
Pang Jing was stunned for a moment, "Huang Dalang?"
Xu Yi had a bad relationship with Huang Dalang, that is, Huang Ang of the Huang family in Jiuquan. It can even be said that it was incompatible. Because it was very simple, Xu Yi asked Huang Dajia to pay more taxes. On the one hand, Huang Dajia concealed the population and said that he was weak and innocent, while on the other hand, he angrily scolded Xu Yi for making unreasonable trouble.
The big family in Jiuquan is not just Pang Jing.
Huang Ang is even more "big dog lover" than Pang Jing.
"Yes. Huang Dalang," Xu Yi nodded, "Now the banquet is now... There must be a charter in any case... I'll ask him to come and discuss it..."
Pang Jing felt that this was indeed the case, so he nodded and then stood up to invite Huang Ang to come.
Seeing Pang Jing leave, Xu Yi clapped his hands and said, "Go and invite Boyang to come..."
Yang Feng came soon and bowed his hands.
Yang Feng is a ranger with great martial arts skills and often avenges people with grievances. Therefore, he has some names, which are sung as "Yang Aruo, the East City, and Yang Aruo, the West City."
"Boyang..." Xu Yi stood up and worshiped Yang Feng without saying a word, "and accept Xu's worship!"
Yang Feng was startled, quickly avoided, stepped forward to support Xu Yi, "Send not to do this! You have to break the villain!"
Xu Yi grabbed Yang Feng's hand tightly, showing a pleading expression on his face, "Boyang... I knew you had the ambition of a wild goose and was loyal and brave, but why did you waste your time here? It was a mistake to bow... Now the country is in trouble, and treacherous ministers are in power. He bows to do extraordinary methods and practices loyalty and righteousness. I don't know if Boyang is willing to help a certain force?"
Yang Fengsu bowed, "The envoy...is he who wants to take the head of the cavalry?"
"Ah?" It was Xu Yi's turn this time and was stunned for a moment, but Xu Yi quickly gave up the idea.
If Fei Qian is in Jiuquan City, he can't find any opportunity with the help of the cover of houses and towers. Fei Qian is currently in the military camp, with direct guards around him. Even an ant crawling in had to be reviewed, and he still wanted to sneak in and assassinate?
Even if there is really this possibility, Xu Yi will not do it.
Because Xu Yi wanted to provoke a fight between Fei Qian and the wealthy families in Xiliang, rather than taking the lives of other Shandong officials.
Although he knew that he would die if he did this, he had already thought about it. By the time he poured a pot of shit on Fei Qian tomorrow, he would die without regrets!
"Not..." Xu Yi held Yang Feng's arm, "How could Boyang let him take risks and do nothing in all of this? I wanted to annoy Lau Boyang to kill Huang's son... Huang's son has been a disaster for a long time, and now he wants to surrender to the cavalry. If he does not remove him, he is afraid that the people will never have any more time to seek justice! I have invited him to come here, and Boyang can be bent by his side. Wait for a command, and then he will be beheaded by his head! The heavens are vast, how can he allow evil people to be rampant? I will not let this villain be killed with his seal and ribbon, and I will kill this villain and eliminate evil for the fellow villagers of Jiuquan! If the cavalry blames him, I will take the blame and will not implicate Boyang! I have already been in short order. What's wrong with this seven-foot body?
When facing Yang Feng, Xu Yi said that the Huang family was a big family who committed crimes and defected to Fei Qian and wanted to continue to be accomplices of the tiger...
Did Xu Yi lie?
No.
The Huang family is indeed doing evil.
Hexi has had anarchy for a long time. In such an environment, few wealthy people in Xiliang dare to say that their hands are completely clean. So Xu Yi was right, but he did not say these things he had known for a long time, and then he did not deal with them before, but now he is full of righteous indignation to eliminate harm for the people...
Xu Yi guessed what Fei Qian wanted.
Fei Qian uses slow measures to stabilize the situation in the Hexi Corridor, then Xu Yi must do the opposite!
As long as the hatred between Fei Qian and the Hexi rich people will be aroused, all Fei Qian's plans for Xiliang will be disappointed!
Xu Yi will deliver the head to Fei Qian with his own hands tomorrow!
Then he said that he had followed the order of the cavalry and killed the rich people in Jiuquan!
This is the drainage of the firewood from the cauldron!
"Encourt!" Yang Feng naturally didn't understand these twists and turns. He really thought that Xu Yi was worried about the people, and tears suddenly filled his eyes. "The villain... should obey the order! The villain is willing to drive the envoy to eliminate the harm of the people!"
Xu Yi was also tearful, "Boyang is truly a loyal and righteous man!"
Chapter completed!
