Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Three Concubine He Thoughts to Compose Analects of Confucius
In the main hall of He Mansion, the head of the family, Cao Shangshu He Yan, was having a chat with Sun Yong, the Marquis of Guan Nei, the official of Guanglu, Zheng Chong, the general and Zhonglang, Xun Yi, the Marquis of Guan Nei, the Cavalry Commander, and Cao Xi, Cao Zhaoshu, the general of the middle base.
When the idea of compiling a new book and annotating the Analects of Confucius began to grow in He Yan's mind, it seemed as if a handful of seeds were planted in He Yan's heart, and a raging fire seemed to be lit. This idea reminded him of the smug ambitions of his youth. status.
Because of this, He Yan couldn't wait to invite everyone to the mansion early in the morning to discuss. The matter of compiling books and canons is often time-consuming and laborious, and He Yan naturally wanted to start as early as possible.
Sun Yong was knowledgeable and a veteran of three dynasties. He had a sharp eye and could see the value of this matter at a glance, so he agreed without hesitation. Zheng Chong was a great scholar of this dynasty. When he heard that he wanted to annotate the Analects, he was naturally enthusiastic. Very well. Xunyi himself was the son of Emperor Wu's favorite adviser Xunyu. He had a good family background and was a young celebrity who was keen on fame. Naturally, he did not want to miss the good opportunity to write such a book. As for Cao Xi, although he was the son of a general, But he was the most talented person among Cao Zhen's disciples, and He Yan was the most respected celebrity of his eldest brother Cao Shuang, so he was willing to help with this task.
Seeing that all the candidates he had chosen were in favor of him, He Yan couldn't restrain his inner ecstasy, and talked eloquently, revealing all his thoughts on compiling a new book.
The few people talked from early morning to afternoon, and then immediately started recruiting assistants to write the book and started compilation work.

Juiyanghou Mansion.
The head of the family, Huang Quan and Huang Gongheng, who is already suffering from illness and no longer as high-spirited as before, is currently lying on the couch.
Only when he was lying on the hospital bed did he realize that the supreme honors of General Chariot, Marquis of Juiyang, and the Third Division of Kaifu Yitong were nothing more than passing clouds and burdens.
The bed was not placed in the house. Huang Quan, who had spent half his life in the army, felt that the room was too stuffy. He didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by wood, so he specifically asked his servants to move his bed under the flower tree in the courtyard. This tree The flowers and trees were planted by myself during the early Huang Dynasty, the year I just descended from the north.
Only he knew that the seeds of this flower tree were brought from Shu.
Only he himself understood that from the day he led his army to the north, Huang Gongheng, who was dedicated to reviving the great Han Dynasty and had the stars, the sun and the moon in his eyes, had died.
The flower tree in front of me comes from Xishu, but was born in Luoyang. It looks very much like myself today.
He could not forget Emperor Zhaolie's kindness to him in those years, nor could he forget the temptations and suspicions of the emperors of the Wei Dynasty towards him.
His thoughts were drifting here and there at the moment, as if he was having a long dream.
He dreamed that he was holding a large banner, which symbolized the virtue of fire in the Han Dynasty, and was riding a horse.
But a moment later, he led 318 people including Shi He, the governor of Nanjun under his command, and together with their seals, ribbons, halberds, banners, teeth, and drum chariots, they worshiped under the command of Xia Houshang, the Mu of Yingzhou in the Great Wei Dynasty. .
After a while, some chaotic sounds poured into his dream again. He could hear that it was the conversation between Emperor Wen Cao Pi and himself:
"You are obedient and obedient, abandoning darkness and turning to light. You can really track Chen Ping and Han Xin of the previous dynasty!"
"I received a special treatment from Master Liu and could not surrender to Wu. I had no way to return to Shu, so I returned to my life. Moreover, a defeated general is lucky enough to avoid death. How can I be admired by the ancients!"
"The general is a famous person in the world and a talented general. I now grant you the title of General of Zhennan, Marquis of Juiyang, and additional ministers. I hope that the general will live up to my expectations."
"I heard that Liu Xuande, the Lord of Shu, had sent people to kill your wife when you returned to Wei. My heart is really hurt, so now I will give you gold and silk, carriages and horses, clothes, curtains, wives and concubines."
"Your Majesty, I have known my late master for several years and know that he is a generous man and would not act like this. Therefore, I ask your Majesty to take back this reward."
After a while, these chaotic sounds finally faded away in my mind.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he dreamed of a cold face again, which was exactly what the Ming Emperor Cao Rui looked like. The cold and suspicious Cao Rui asked Huang Quan this question:
"Now that the world is divided into three parts, who is the orthodox one?"
At that time, Huang Quan did not dare to hesitate at all, but he still couldn't control his hesitation. After all, no king would tolerate a double-minded minister, and no king could tolerate an ungrateful minister who betrayed easily. Little man. After Huang Quan thought for a moment, he answered the emperor seriously:
"This matter may be verified by the celestial phenomena. I remember that there was a celestial phenomenon called 'Yinghuo Shouxin' in the past years, which resulted in the death of Emperor Wen. However, the two masters of Wu and Shu were safe and sound. Perhaps this is what Tianxin means."
Therefore, Huang Quan escaped a disaster.
In this long dream, there are heart-warming glory, blood that has not yet cooled down, helpless betrayal, and trembling responses.
Gradually, all the plots in this long dream became blurred, and only the scene when I visited Hou Xia Hou Shang of Changling Township gradually became clear.
That year, in order to resist Emperor Zhaolie's eastern expedition, Sun Quan temporarily surrendered to Wei and was granted the title of General, King of Wu, and Mu of Jingzhou. Xia Houshang, who was originally Mu of Jingzhou, was granted the title of Mu of Yingzhou.
In Huang Quan's impression, the powerful Xiahou Boren was a very approachable and humble gentleman. At that time, he treated himself, a homeless and bereaved dog, without even a trace of arrogance or contempt. Later, he was able to win the favor of Emperor Wen. Cao Pi's love and appreciation were naturally inseparable from Xiahou Boren's recommendation and protection.
And Xia Houshang naturally became one of the few close friends he had after his surrender to the north.
Time flies by like a fleeting moment. Today, more than ten years have passed since Boren passed away.
Today, Huang Quan suddenly felt extremely haggard. Sometimes he would be confused for a moment, and he would often dream about his old friend. He might have thought of something, so he suddenly wanted to meet his old friend's son.
To put it bluntly, his old friend in Luoyang was Xiahou Boren. Huang Yong understood that the son of his old friend his father mentioned was none other than Xiahou Xuan, the Marquis of Changling in the Central Guards Army.
Xia Houxuan looked at the solemn and lonely gate of the Juiyang Marquis Mansion in front of him, and the scene that emerged in his mind was that of an elegant, gentle but slightly sad young man at the Yishou Pavilion Marquis Mansion that summer nearly twenty years ago. I was watching two teenagers competing in sword dance, and a lively and cute little girl was shouting loudly in the corridor, "Come on."
That year, Mo Shang Sang and Zhe Yang Liu Xing, who were a little unfamiliar with Cao Xi, and the little girl Xia Houhui who shouted cheers for him and Cao Xi at one moment, will never appear again.
This Luoyang city is like a huge ferocious beast, constantly devouring the rise and fall of the princes, generals and ministers in Luoyang city, as well as the oil, salt, soy and vinegar of the common people.
Under the flowering tree, Huang Quan looked back at Xia Houxuan, who was very similar to his old friend, and revealed the many tellable and unspeakable emotions and thoughts in his heart one by one.
At this moment, Huang Quan suddenly felt relieved. He lay on the couch and looked up at the flowing clouds in the sky and the brilliant and beautiful flowers on the trees. He showed a long-lost smile. Above the clouds
What once flew was his youthful spirit and lifelong ideal. What bloomed on the flower trees was the unforgettable beauty.
"After I die, bury me and your mother together on the high mountain south of Feishui River. Yong'er, you will be in good health in the future, and you can serve your father and brother as well..."
[Note 1: "Shui Jing Annotation" written by Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty: "The water flows south through Shandong. There is a temple on the mountain, which is commonly known as Dushan. There are two tombs of Wei chariot general Huang Quan and his wife in the south of the mountain, and the tunnels pass through them.
There are four steles in front of his tomb, the second one was erected by Emperor Wei Ming, and the second one was erected by his son and officials."]
In the first year of Zhengshi, the Chariot and Cavalry General, Huang Quan and Huang Gongheng, Marquis of Juiyang, died in the mansion. His posthumous title was Marquis Jing of Juiyang, and his son Huang Yong took the title of Marquis of Juiyang.
This year in Shu, it was the season when hibiscus flowers were blooming. For no reason, Shang Shulang Huang Chong suddenly thought of his father and elder brother who were officials in the north.
The young and promising Shang Shulang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The hibiscus flowers in the capital of Shu are blooming again. I don't know when the year and month will be when my family will be reunited. I don't know when the year and month will be when the world will be unified again...

Since General Cao Shuang overpowered all the scholars at the court meeting and assigned He Yan, Deng Yang, Ding Mi, Li Sheng and others to confidential positions, many of the Sima family's disciples, former officials, and important officials in the government were transferred
Arrived at the place.
Taifu Sima Yi's in-laws and Sima Zhao's father-in-law, Lanling Marquis Wang Su, were transferred to Guangping County as the prefect.
The first major event after Wang Su took office was not to attend a banquet or to gather officials, but to go to Julu in person to visit the local hermit and famous Confucian Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen was born during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty. He is now more than a hundred years old. The local people regard him as an old immortal. When he was young, he studied at Taixue and studied the classics and prophecies. The former Han Dynasty general Yuan Shao once had many
He was recruited to serve as an official many times, but he did not respond.
Since then, Zhang Zhen declined the recruitment of high-ranking pastoral officials in Bingzhou, the recruitment of Emperor Wu Cao Cao, who had been the first prime minister, and the many recommendations from the county during the Taihe reign of the Ming Emperor.
On this day, Wang Su, who personally brought gifts such as cattle, sheep, fine wine, and dressed in regular clothes, came to visit. As soon as he entered the village entrance, he heard a burst of elegant and melodious, strong but soft music.
After a while, Wang Su followed the sound of the piano and found Zhang Zhen's house without even asking passers-by. To the north of Zhang's house, birds were chirping. Wang Su looked up and found that it was a group of hoopoe birds.
At this time, there was melodious music in the house, and exciting singing came from time to time. Wang Su did not dare to disturb him, so he had to listen attentively:
"The phoenixes and phoenixes are chasing each other, the dragons are flying in the nine heavens; the turtles and turtles are here, and the horses are galloping across the Central Plains..."
[Note 2: "In the first year of the Zhengshi period, there was a bird wearing a bun, and its nest was in the shade of the door. Zang told his disciples: "My husband is wearing a bird with a bun, and its nest is in the shade of the door. This is a bad omen." He sang on the piano and composed two poems.
, died ten days ago at the age of one hundred and five years." The ballad here is composed by the author himself, and the original sentence of Zhi cannot be verified.]
After a while, Wang Su heard the music of the piano and singing gradually subsided, and then he knocked on the door to announce.
But at this time, there was a burst of crying in the house, and Wang Su was shocked. After a while, a young man with a white scarf on his head opened the door of the house.
Wang Su understood that this famous scholar and scholar who lived for a full 105 years had just passed away.
Wang Su himself was well versed in Confucianism. When he heard the singing, he immediately remembered a major event during the Qinglong reign of Emperor Ming Dynasty, which was the "Ruishi Stone in Liu Valley" incident.
He observed the young man's expression and age, and guessed that the young man should be Zhang Zhen's grandson. He bowed to the ground and continued:
"I would also like to express my condolences, little brother. I am Wang Su, the prefect of Guangping. I was in Kyoto. I heard that Zhang Ziming was living in seclusion here, so I came to pay my respects. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ziming has passed away, so I feel sorry for him. He has passed away, so please send me your condolences.
Little brother, I comfort the past and encourage the future."
When the young man heard the identity of the visitor, he immediately bowed and returned the courtesy.
Wang Su immediately asked the young man:
"I wonder if Mr. Zhang Ziming had any last words before he passed away?"
"Weng Weng kept talking about something yesterday, the auspicious stone is not auspicious stone, the dragon flies in the sky, the horse gallops in the Central Plains, and it also hides the general trend of rise and fall..."
When Wang Su heard this, he was shocked and at the same time understood it.
[Note 2: The Xinhai Edict in the fourth year of Qinglong: "The Xuanchuan in Zhangye County overflows, stirring up the excitement. It has a negative picture of a precious stone, shaped like a turtle. It lives in the west of Sichuan, standing on a rock, with plain seals in the warehouse, phoenixes, dragons and horses.
Huan Bing took shape, and the text told the order, which was brilliant. Taishi ordered Gaotang to say: "The ancient emperors and holy emperors have never experienced it. It is really the imperial decree of Wei and the world treasure of Dongxu." The matter is awarded to the world. The order is given to Chuolianji.
When asked about Zhen, Zhen Mi said Chuo: "The husband God knew the coming and did not pursue the past. Zhenxiang saw it first and then abandoned and followed it. The Han Dynasty has been dead for a long time, and the Wei has already obtained it. Why pursue Zhengxiang!"
Stone, the changes of today will lead to the auspiciousness of the future."]
