"The gentleman said, learning is no longer enough." Guan Ning raised his arms and shouted, "If the sages of ancient times were like this, why can't people today surpass them?! Blue comes from blue, and blue comes from blue; ice comes from water, and
Cold as water. Times and years change, and the world is in turmoil! Anyone who sticks to the rules, doesn't think about being powerful, and tries to follow a single method to teach the world will be in vain!"
In the past two days, Guan Ning relied on his successful annotation of the Filial Piety Classic and his voice on funerals to establish his name. As more and more people gathered here, Guan Ning listened to his explanation of the meaning of the scripture.
Distinguishing truth gradually made Guan Ning one of the representatives of the new generation.
Of course, there was support from Lu Yu and Wang Kai behind this. In such an occasion, Lu Yu’s ability to express himself was actually not as good as Guan Ning’s. During Lu Yu’s last debate with Wang Chang, Lu Yu also discovered
He has such a shortcoming, and Wang Kai is even worse than Lu Yu. He just has a good appearance, and his belly cannot be said to be entirely filled with grass, but most of it is.
Therefore, Guan Ning was in the front, Lu Yu was supporting, and Wang Kai was doing the logistics, thus forming a relatively stable small team that gave full play to their respective specialties, which attracted the attention of some people who participated in the Qinglong Temple Forum.
Some people think Guan Ning is right.
Others found that Guan Ning's team had good practices and were wondering if they should form a team and learn to imitate it?
As for those who simply watch the excitement and think that the excitement over there is the soul of fun to go there, they are responsible for cheering and cheering to enhance the atmosphere...
The small vendors outside Qinglong Temple are also smiling all day long. The wind and frost have covered their faces, and the fireworks have eroded their hands and feet, but they still smile, and their smiles are sincere and mellow.
"Old Tiantou, hey, it's almost sold out again? Is the business good?" Ding Zhuang, who was in charge of patrol, came over, stretched his head to take a look, and said with a smile.
Lao Tiantou quickly fished out the noodles for another customer and mixed the sauce, "Thanks to you...are you tired? Come sit here for a while and I will cook you a bowl of sauteed rice prepared yesterday!"
It smells so good!』
Ding Zhuang waved his hand and said: "I'm on duty...see you later, see you later..."
After saying that, Ding Zhuang didn't stay long and said hello to several other vendors. He then pointed out the stains caused by spills or drips caused by some vendors' lack of hygiene and asked them to clean them up immediately.
A diner wearing a gray robe sitting inside took a few bites of soup cakes and extended his thumb to praise Lao Tiantou's craftsmanship, which immediately made Lao Tiantou smile.
"Look at this..." The diner in gray pointed slightly at the Ding Zhuang with his chopsticks, "It's not bad, I didn't ask you to collect illegal money..."
"That's right, how dare you..." Without the new customers, Lao Tiantou didn't mind chatting with the gray-clothed diners, and lowered his voice and said, "I have collected them before, and there were a few waves... But in the past few days,
, caught one, guess what? Right in front, they were stripped naked and slapped on the spot... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, bloody, I'm afraid half of my life is gone! How much money can I charge for collecting black money? Half a piece.
Is it worth it to risk your life? Later, I became more honest and no one dared to mess around, not even to eat or drink..."
The gray-clothed diner nodded, "There must be some rules..."
Lao Tiantou nodded, "Yes, that's right, the rules...ah, my guest, what do you want to eat? Look at my new meaty meat! It's so fragrant!"
When the diners in gray clothes saw that Lao Tiantou was soliciting business again, he smiled, lowered his head and began to eat. Not long after, he ate the whole bowl of noodles, then wiped his mouth and took it from his arms.
He took out two copper coins and put them on the table, "I'll keep the money!"
"Have you eaten?" Lao Tiantou kept holding his hands, "Sir, please go slowly!"
The diners in gray clothes walked out of the simple food tent, then slowly walked forward with their hands behind their backs. After passing through the long sidewalk and the small square, they saw Guan Ning who was giving a lecture.
Just as he was about to step forward to listen to what Guan Ning was saying, a man next to him stopped in front of the gray-clothed diner and hesitated for a moment, "Kan... Director Kan?"
Kan Ze, a diner in gray clothes, turned around and saw that it was Wang Chang, "Well, you're here too?"
Wang Chang pointed to Guan Ning and Lu Yu, "Lu Langjun, this is my friend... I have some free time today, so I came over to take a look..."
Kan Ze looked at Wang Chang, who was also dressed in casual clothes, smiled, nodded, and said a few more words, then said goodbye to each other and left.
"Still abiding by the rules..." Kan Ze took out a small notebook, and then took out a brush. He wrote a few words, then put it back in his arms, and then slowly put his hands behind his back.
Wandering around Qinglong Temple.
If they were not familiar with each other, no one would have thought that this honest man wearing a cheap cloth robe was actually the notorious Director of the Youwen Department...
The flow of people is surging.
Coming with one new topic after another.
Unknowingly, within Qinglong Temple, with the success of Guan Ning and others, many prototypes of other teams also appeared. Those with mutual interests, consistent opinions, and the combination of each other's strengths and weaknesses began to form a division of labor and collaboration.
stand up.
As the place of the Three Assistants in Guanzhong that had been abandoned by the Eastern Han Dynasty for decades and hundreds of years, in the process of Fei Qian's futile rise, as a brand-new force of the Han Dynasty, it does not have a deep foundation. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as an outbreak.
type of household.
At least for a period of time when Fei Qian first started to develop, most people thought so. Even after Guanzhong became rich in the mid-term, many people still thought that being rich was nothing, and looked down on Fei Qian and his group.
But now, as the name of Qinglong Temple becomes more and more famous, more and more people participate, and the advantages shift from economic to cultural, which makes many Shandong nobles hang their heads.
At least in the current Han Dynasty, there are still some literate people who focus on culture rather than money. When the literate people in a dynasty all rush for money, there is often no culture.
……(╯︵╰)……
Almost at the same time, in Xu County, Emperor Liu Xie also had to lower his head.
Liu Xie knew in his heart that the person who could really make the decision on this piece of land was not himself, but the man standing in front of him, Cao Cao.
Liu Xie's attitude towards the world is also in the process of constant change.
As the master of the world, Liu Xie is indeed a little less domineering, especially in front of Cao Cao. Although Liu Xie is taller than Cao Cao, it makes people feel that Liu Xie is shorter than Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty, what should happen if someone breaks the rules?" Cao Cao said slowly.
Liu Xie took a deep breath, "What kind of rules? Are they the rules of a man, or... the rules of the prime minister?"
Cao Cao smiled, as if he saw a kitten showing its majesty with its teeth and claws, "Rules are rules. If the rules of the world and His Majesty are divided, then there will be ministers and common people, and then there will be
Men and women, not to mention pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, also need to behave according to the rules. After that, there are no rules at all..."
"..." Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao, "What are the rules?"
"It's an agreement." Cao Cao also looked at Liu Xie, "It's a human agreement."
"Promise?" Liu Xie frowned.
"Three chapters of the agreement." Cao Cao sighed softly, "This is the rule."
"But..." Liu Xie hesitated for a moment and did not finish.
"Farmers made an agreement with the land to work diligently in exchange for the growth of the crops, and herders made an agreement with their livestock to take good care of them in exchange for skins, bones, and flesh..." Cao Cao said slowly, "The soldiers made an agreement with the battlefield to fight bravely and gain meritorious service... Officials
Make an agreement with the court to be diligent and upright in order to shepherd all people...Yes, that's the problem. What if someone...doesn't abide by the agreement or follow the rules?"
Liu Xie: "..."
"Haha, Your Majesty, do you think that the humble minister is the one who breaks the rules?" Cao Cao suddenly laughed, his voice loud and loud, resounding throughout the entire hall, "What a pity, the minister is the one who upholds the rules! If I hadn't been here to guard it,
With this rule, I don’t know how many people in the world have become kings and how many have usurped Han!”
"If you want to break the rules, why bother today?" Cao Cao laughed, "Does your Majesty think so?"
Liu Xie was stunned and speechless.
"Now I want to find those who have broken the rules..." Cao Cao slowly stopped laughing and said slowly, "But some people are unwilling...there are all kinds of obstructions and all kinds of designs...these bad guys..."
Those who break the rules, your majesty knows, the ministers know, the officials know, and even the common people know... But some people think that breaking the rules is also a rule?"
"I once set up a colorful stick at the north gate of Luoyang! The stick killed those who made mistakes..." Cao Cao squinted, as if he was looking at a picture in the past, "Then someone taught me the rules...you should watch when you make mistakes..."
Man, if someone makes a mistake, it is not called a mistake. If he is exempted from his post and suspended for two days, he can become an official again. How can he be beaten to death with a stick? What do you think of this rule...?"
"I was the Prime Minister in Jinan, and when I saw the corruption, I captured and killed him, and the people naturally celebrated..." Cao Cao glanced at Liu Xie, and there seemed to be some indescribable meaning in his eyes, "Then someone said
It’s the humble minister who has acted arrogantly and killed high-ranking officials without permission. He has broken the rules. Only three locust trees in the court can be killed with your majesty’s personal consent...Except for the humble minister Jinan..."
"Later, I was appointed as the captain of Xiyuan School, but I saw that all the troops were old and weak, the equipment was old and outdated, the soldiers' pay was delayed, and the training was neglected, and someone caused trouble to the emperor," Cao Cao said with a smile, "There are people who say,
This is the rule... All the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are like this, and all the forbidden troops in the world are like this..."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, is this rule... good or bad? Is it necessary or unnecessary?"
I don't know why, Liu Xie felt a little panicked.
After a moment, Cao Cao spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I once admired the culture of Yingchuan and knew that there was an imperial land, prosperity and wealth, and everyone, haha... can be educated and educated, which is where the Han Dynasty is at the top..." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, just like
It is talking about a fact, but also seems to be talking about a tragic situation, "But now, it is discovered that this imperial city is prosperous, but only a few people are rich, and this cultural prosperity is just the prosperity of blame and deception..."
"The autumn harvest in the court hall is the most important thing for the country, but thieves like these deliberately destroy Zhuanghe!"
"Moreover, all the responsibility for the damage to Zhuanghe was passed on to the farmers and women! They accused the farmers and women of cheating and cheating and not obeying orders, which led to the destruction of Zhuanghe!"
"Using the name of the court, they arbitrarily arrested farmers and women, triggering civil uprisings, but they did not care to appease them, and even instigated soldiers from counties and counties to suppress them!"
"Because the food is cheap, there is no profit! Because the minister wants to establish rules!"
"Haha, actually...it's not either a low price or a profit, but it's more than a thousand times worse than the high price?"
"There is no grain in the official warehouse, so parity is empty talk! But in the private warehouse, there are countless people selling it. One person sells a stone for a thousand yuan, some sells it for three thousand yuan, and some sells it for five thousand yuan! But what about the government?
?That is, they join forces to sell those who sell five thousand yuan, and arrest all those who sell one thousand yuan, and those who sell three thousand yuan! Only those who save five thousand yuan!」
"The people are suffering and public sentiments are raging. These corrupt officials kill people with a thousand dollars or three thousand dollars to complain about the common people, but then transfer the grain and grass to people with five thousand dollars to sell them. How about the profits they get..."
"This is the current rule of the Imperial Village..."
Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie, "Now that I'm investigating corruption, destroying his fortress, and raiding his home, some people come crying, saying that his crime is not worthy of death. All the young and old in the family are innocent, and the women and children are so pitiful... How dare you...
I ask Your Majesty, are all the people guilty? Do they deserve to suffer this misfortune? When they are homeless, their wives and children are separated, and their families are destroyed, do these crying people shed tears or speak out for them?"
"A great man, only natural disasters will not kill many people. Only man-made disasters will cause his bones to be exposed in the wild, and there will be no roosters crowing for thousands of miles!"
"Your Majesty, is this rule now... good or bad? Should it be necessary or no longer necessary?"
……(〃 Pan`)q……
The other side.
Jiangdong.
When Zhou Yu walked into the back yard, the sound of the guzheng was still ringing. He walked up the small building and entered the exquisite room. Xiao Qiao was playing the strings of the guzheng in front of the window, and then smiled gently at him.
He sat down on the other side of the table, closed his eyes and listened to the woman's playing.
"I played it wrong..."
Xiao Qiao wrinkled her nose and stopped her hand, "I can't remember this part..."
Zhou Yu smiled, then took the guzheng, pondered for a moment, and then started playing again the section that Xiao Qiao had played before.
The melody flows like water.
Xiao Qiao looked at the man in front of him dreamingly. Even though time seemed to be more tolerant to him, the wind and frost had ruthlessly and quietly changed some of his beard, hair, and eyebrows.
When the gentle melody like flowing water stopped, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qiao, "Remember?"
"I forgot again..." Xiao Qiao said with a smile, "I came to see you..."
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Then I don't care, you can just practice on your own."
After a while, Xiao Qiao gently stroked the strings of the zither, tilted his head, and said with a smile, "What can I do for you, husband?"
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Jiangdong... is going to be in chaos..."
Xiao Qiao's smile solidified.
……╭(╯^╰)╮……
Huge school grounds.
A flag that blocks out the sky and the sun.
In front of the school grounds is a high platform, and Sun Lang strode towards the high platform.
Under the high platform, there were more than a dozen tied up Jiangdong officials.
A strong wind blew through the school grounds.
The flags are flying in unison and the clouds are rolling.
"A certain person followed his father and fought on the battlefield in Luoyang, in Yuzhou, in Jingzhou, and in Yangzhou!" Sun Lang, who looked quite similar to Sun Jian, was dressed in a military uniform. "A certain person did not care about life and death and was not afraid of hardships for the Sun family! But! A certain person
But he was imprisoned in Wangjiangtai for no reason! He was humiliated, day after day, year after year! 』
Something seemed to burst out from Sun Lang's body, stirring up the school grounds.
"The rule of the Sun family is that if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished!" Sun Lang shouted in a deep voice, "A certain person followed his father to fight in the north and south, and conquered the battlefield. Did he have any merit? If he had merit, why was he imprisoned? If he had a fault, then why should he be imprisoned?
Where?! Here today, I just want an explanation! Do you still have the rules of the Sun family? Do you still have them? What are the rules in Jiangdong now? It is like child's play. If you say you have merit, you will get merit. If you say there is merit, you will get merit.
Do you have your faults? Or are you just like these cool officials in the audience, their merits and demerits lie between their pens and pens?!"
Sun Lang waved his arm, and soon someone opened all the boxes that were originally placed on the stage, and then dumped them down onto the small officials who were tied up under the stage.
The heavy gold and silver shone with dazzling light, swayed in the air, fell, and made jingling noises.
"You all followed my father's paoze back then! Do you know where the money in front of you came from? It was all taken from the homes of these people!"
"These money, tens of thousands of money, how much salary do they have? No! They are all looted!"
"You sweat and bleed and risk your lives. Even if you are injured or dead, what you gain is nothing compared to the slightest move of these silverfish!"
"What kind of rule is this?!"
"Let me ask you, what kind of world and what kind of rules is this?!
The wind blew across the high platform, and Sun Lang spread his hands in the wind and roared, "Today, I will take you to ask what the rules are in this world, this heaven and earth, and up and down Jiangdong!"
"Go ask what the fucking rules are!"
……(σ｀д′)σ……
Guanzhong.
Qinglong Temple became more and more lively.
The students arguing with each other on the street were blushing and spitting at each other, while the beautiful girl in the restaurant, dressed in complicated and gorgeous clothes, played the piano slowly and unaffected by the sound of the quarrel.
The fallen leaves on the trees fluttered down, and then were crushed on the stone slabs by the wheels of the advancing caravan.
The wild geese that had been catching up late were chirping a little impatiently in the sky, trying their best to keep going.
General Feiqian of the Hussars was holding a cup of hot tea and sitting in front of the window reading a book.
Pang Tong was excitedly commenting on something on the text, then habitually put the tip of the pen into his mouth, licked it, and continued writing.
Zao Zhi stood in front of the warehouse, with some nervousness and expectation, looking at the busy clerks who were transporting, measuring and collecting the Zhuanghe grain and grass.
Zhen Mi was making the final handover at the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, and then walked out. When she reached the door, Zhen Mi stopped for a moment, looked up at the nameplate of the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, and then immediately raised her head and walked forward proudly. From here on
From that moment on, she basically had no connection with the Han Dynasty Chamber of Commerce and became a female official who only worked in politics.
In the dark hut, Zhen Mi's clan brother had been released, but because he had lost his money, he had to succumb to this situation. He was cursing incompetently and furiously, using confusing language, like a madman who had lost everything.
Several patrol inspectors rushed into the tavern on the street, pulled the drunken and crazy Hu man directly out of the wine shop, and pressed his head into a water tank on the street that was used to prevent fires. The drunken and crazy Hu man was choked in the water tank.
He fluttered on the water, and was pulled out after a moment. He coughed and collapsed on the ground, feeling a little more awake and frightened.
"Are you a Qiang? A Huns? Or a Xianbei?" A patrol inspector squatted in front of the Hu people and changed several languages. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You will understand when the time comes... Drinking and causing trouble will be fined."
Two thousand, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, we have a labor camp...take it away!』
Outside the city, inside Mr. Shui Jing's manor.
Sima Hui wrote a good calligraphy and waited for it to dry in the autumn wind. Then he sat there and ordered the servants around him, "This is a good picture. I will frame it later."
The sun shines in, the autumn wind touches the paper, and some traces of wet ink reveal this writing——
"Without rules, there is no square or circle."
I think Cao Cao's classic saying is also good to apply here.
