Chapter 21 Emperor Kai is a gentleman, the parents of the people
After twelve days, after reading, learning to draw, and chopping firewood every morning and practicing coordination every night...
Lin Ke felt like he was different.
All the firewood in his own yard had been chopped long ago, so the firewood from the third day onwards was brought back from Tongfu Restaurant. In the morning, when the wood was almost chopped, it was sent to him.
The painting skills have made great progress, and the dance skills are also trying to integrate the characteristics of this place.
Everything is going in the right direction!
…
At dusk, Lin Ke was painting the pillars outside the door of the street "listening to music and hanging rails" with his brush strokes downward at the door of his studio.
When he lowered his head and then raised his head, a human head appeared above the easel, looking down at his painting.
He was so frightened by the head that suddenly appeared in front of him that he trembled all over.
Although Lin Ke stood up, the pen on the painting did not move at all, so the painting did not suffer any failure due to shaking!
It turns out that Lin Ke has practiced to the point where no one coming will affect his writing skills at all!
Lin Ke saw the person coming clearly, smiled and took the pen off the paper, put down the pen, stood up and bowed, "Who is this elder brother?"
After Lin Ke stood up, the man quickly squeezed over and gave him a profile look, looking at Lin Ke's painting.
The person who came was wearing a pure white robe, and then he took out his clasped hands from behind in a perfunctory manner. In his hand, this person was holding a white jade folding fan. There was a red agate pendant under the fan. He leaned sideways and raised his hands with his hands together.
.
Then I looked at Lin Ke’s paintings.
Lin Ke's painting shows the scene from "Butcher Zhang's Butcher's Shop" next door to "Listening to Music and Goulan" on the street.
There is not a trace of color in the painting!
All black lines!
Yes!
Lin Ke is drawing the outline of the street scene!
The painting is nearing the end, and I am drawing lines for the pillars of "Listening to Music Hook Bar".
He raised his hand to hold his chin, and then smoothed the side of his hair.
The man turned around and looked at Lin Ke, smacking his mouth, as if muttering to himself: "Has Lin'er changed her gender? She likes little fresh meat instead?"
Lin Ke could clearly see the face of the visitor. How could he not understand what he meant when he heard the words?
As soon as he heard this, he knew that this person was wrong!
In Lin Ke's opinion, this man can be called a handsome and elegant young man from a wealthy family!
Lin Ke smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Brother, I am just the master's apprentice, not what you think."
The man suddenly understood and heard him say: "I understand, is the relationship between teacher and student right?"
Lin Ke felt dizzy when he heard this. Wang Lin couldn't even handle it. He seemed to have come up with a ruthless attack, and seemed to be even more out-of-the-box than Wang Lin!
He was not in a hurry to explain. Just when he was about to call Wang Lin, the door of the painting studio opened.
Wang Lin appeared at the door, and when she saw the visitor, she immediately showed a lewd smile: "Why are you here? Come in, come in, I have produced a few more works of my own, do you want to watch them?"
The handsome man's eyes suddenly glowed green, and he hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
Then, Lin Ke was left alone at the door of the studio, messy in the wind.
Lin Ke took a deep breath and looked at the sky. It was time to go to Tongfu Restaurant. He picked up the brush. The brush was as steady as a mountain. Only when the wind blew the tip of the brush from time to time could you see the brush moving.
He was interrupted by the man just now, finished the last unfinished stroke, put down the pen, and was about to leave.
Because starting from the second day, Wang Lin wouldn't let him enter the painting studio. He guessed it was because he was overheard on the first day when he told the restaurant owner that she was a gangster.
It has been more than ten days, and Lin Ke is still outside the door. Every day, she will put the easel, paper and pen outside in advance, explain what Lin Ke is going to do, and then she will not show up, unless there are guests or like today...
Lin Ke, who had just raised his feet, stopped because there was a sound of kicking and clanging in the studio.
Then, he saw a white figure flying out.
And then?
Then, he saw that the man seemed to be stuck to the wall, and he didn't come down for a while.
Lin Ke looked at the person attached to the wall. He stood there and looked at the white-clothed figure attached to the wall.
"Why don't you go do some odd jobs and wait for me to take care of your food?"
Wang Lin's soft and waxy voice said something, and Lin Ke suddenly shivered.
He turned his head and looked at the figure in white against the wall, and prayed silently for him for three seconds!
I saw Lin Ke running away, quickly reaching the door of Tongfu Restaurant, standing at the door and looking back.
At this time, the shopkeeper also ran over panting and looked in the direction Lin Ke was looking.
Then the two of them saw Wang Lin entering the house and closing the door.
A second later, the two heard the sound of the door closing.
"boom……"
There is still a reply?
The two looked at each other and trotted back to the restaurant together.
"What's going on?"
"I do not know either!"
The two of them asked and answered questions, and seemed to have said everything, but also seemed to have said nothing.
The two separated, and Lin Ke skillfully found a rag and began to wipe it at the window, looking at the painting studio from time to time...
Wiping and wiping, Lin Ke fell into thinking.
These twelve days...
Three o'clock and one line every day, Li Chungang Tofu Shop, Fairyland Painting Workshop, Tongfu Restaurant, studying and doing odd jobs every day...
Lin Ke had already seen the second column of Li Chungang's book.
The second column was for the law, and he had read more than half of it. Starting from the fourth day, he went there an hour earlier every day to read, and grind tofu as usual at nine o'clock.
Of course, he had to get up an hour earlier because he also needed to train his coordination by getting up early.
On the day when the second column started, the old man left a question for himself and asked him to find the answer from the second column.
Ask him: Can the Wei Dynasty resume corporal punishment?
corporal punishment?
What is corporal punishment?
For example, if a person commits a less serious capital crime, but the crime does not warrant death, he can have his face tattooed, beaten with a cane, or his fingers, arms, feet, or even castration... etc., and body parts may be injured instead of the death penalty.
Corporal punishment can greatly reduce the death penalty in the Wei Dynasty, such as the crime of abdominal slander, throwing a bag of grain or stealing a penny, etc. A series of crimes that do not lead to death.
Lin Ke wanted to answer right then.
But Li Chungang waved his hand and said, "Wait until you have at least finished reading this column, or have all the books left, before you answer me."
Lin Ke was silent at that time and could only nod his head, but in his heart he still thought that he needed to recover.
Why?
Because Lin Ke's soul is from another world after all, he believes that whether it is from democracy, public opinion, or people's livelihood, he can choose to restore corporal punishment.
But on the first day, Lin Ke read the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, and there was a sentence in it: "Everyone in Qin will follow the order".
What do you mean? This law was established by Qin Shenghuang with Legalist thought as the center, which was concretely reflected in the burning of books.
At that time, Emperor Qin Sheng ordered Li Si to burn books. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished with physical punishment. But the one who was punished the most severely would not die and would be the king!
Later, a man actually survived the punishment and became king.
But later, six million people were tortured to build the Qin Shenghuang Mausoleum.
When Lin Ke saw this, he felt a little doubtful about himself.
Later, during the Holy Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen Sheng of the Han Dynasty first improved corporal punishment, making it no longer painful, but it was still relatively milder than the Qin Dynasty. Lin Ke frowned when he saw the record later,
It was written like this:
"The girl went to Xianjing of the Han Dynasty with her father to redeem her father. She wanted to be a maid. The Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty relied on the people and issued an edict: 'The emperor Kai is a gentleman and the parents of the people'..."
The general meaning is that because a girl went to Xianjing of the Han Dynasty to redeem her father's sentence, she could become a slave. She only wished that her father would not be tortured, because being tortured would be the same as a paralyzed person.
The girl's move moved the Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty at that time, and he later abolished corporal punishment!
But the girl’s father was sentenced to death for abolishing corporal punishment!
When Lin Ke saw this, he put down the book and was silent for a long time, lost in thought.
