When Mr. Zhu recited this, he burst into tears, turned around, walked away and walked away.
At dusk, Mr. Zhu walked to a small river and looked across the water. There were soldiers wearing Qing family clothes. As he walked across the wooden suspension bridge, he was stopped by the soldiers, who kept asking questions. Mr. Zhu put down the robe on his shoulders and said,
He took out a piece of paper and presented it to the leader of the soldiers. It was a banner written by Fang Sheng and given to him when he was the governor: "Study is a good person." The year Mr. Zhu won the first place in the examination, he politely thanked Governor Fang for his promotion three times in a row.
Not only was Fang Sheng not annoyed by his official document, but he valued his character even more, so he chose a sentence from Mr. Zhu's reply, "The boy is willing to learn and become a good person" to write a gift in return. This banner has now become a passport, and in the tense situation
It showed miraculous results in the confrontation between the two armies. The soldiers were not at ease and did not dare to offend him, so they forced him to get into the car. Mr. Zhu really couldn't smell the gas in the car, and he vomited all the way.
Belly.
Governor Fang met Mr. Zhu in his camp and prepared a sumptuous dinner. However, Mr. Zhu sat far away and could not get to the table. Governor Fang said humbly: "Sir, I will just have a simple meal. I will quell the rebels and regain Xi'an."
Later, please invite me, sir." Mr. Zhu shook his head and still didn't move. Governor Fang pressed the question, and Mr. Zhu said, "I'm afraid." Governor Fang asked, "It's just you and me here, what are you afraid of?" Mr. Zhu muttered.
Said: "I have never seen you dressed like this. When I see you dressed in military uniform, it's like I saw a white knife going in and a red knife coming out. I'm scared. I can't eat when I'm scared. Governor, take off your military uniform and wear it."
Wear casual clothes." After hearing this, Governor Fang laughed loudly: "Oh, sir, to tell you the truth, I burned all my civilian clothes when I got up from Longxi. Fortunately, today I will make an exception." After saying that, he took off his military uniform. Mr. Zhu then sat down.
Said at the table: "This is like a human being."
During the banquet, Mr. Zhu only used his chopsticks to eat vegetarian dishes, not meat dishes or wine. As soon as Governor Fang put down his chopsticks, he took out an earthenware jar from his belt and poured the rest of the meat and vegetables on the plate into the earthenware jar.
Fang Sheng frowned and asked: "Sir, you..." Mr. Zhu said naively: "I will take these good things home and let the children have a taste." Governor Fang asked in surprise: "Why is this so?
Mr. Zhu said: "The world is in chaos, and everyone is busy fighting for power and profit. Who can show compassion to the common people? Today I made a special trip to ask my mentor for a way out." Governor Fang suddenly became angry: "Sir, as a great scholar in Guanzhong, he is already in dire straits."
In this way, the people are even more miserable. I am putting on my military uniform to suppress the rebellion and revive the government. The people are waiting eagerly." Mr. Zhu asked ambiguously: "I have no doubt that you can pacify Guanzhong. Wuchang
Who will suppress the rebellion in Huguang provinces?" Fang Sheng said: "I am a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and I swear to be loyal to the court. I will take back the country I lost. As for Wuchang and Huguang, it is not under my jurisdiction and is beyond the reach of the whip." Mr. Zhu said with a smile.
"A tree is old and decayed, its roots are withered, its trunk is empty, its branches are dead, and only its branches and tips are flourishing. How long can these branches and tips last?" After hearing this, Governor Fang looked at Mr. Zhu warily: "
Mr. Zhu is... here to act as a lobbyist for the rebels." Mr. Zhu said calmly: "As I said just now, I am here to ask for a way out of your life. With all due respect, the Qing court is like a rotten tree that is hard to grow, and like a well rope that is hard to grow.
Fu Li. Even if you pacify Guanzhong, you will not be able to pacify Wuchang and Huguang. How long can you maintain your standout status again... With all due respect... I am afraid it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold if you are driven out of Guanzhong again." Fang Sheng listened.
At this time, his face suddenly changed and he stood up: "Sir, I thought you were noble and elegant, but I didn't expect that you have turned to the court and acted as a lobbyist for the rebels." Mr. Zhu sat still and raised his voice slightly: "Teacher
Listen to my confession. Anyway, Governor Zhang issued twenty-eight articles, but I only accepted three of them, one to cut my braids, one to relax my hair, and one to stop smoking. I still guard the White Deer Academy and never go down from the mountain until I am forty, reciting the morning and afternoon exercises.
, preaching, imparting knowledge and solving doubts; still adhering to the purpose of 'learning to be a good person'." After saying that, he took out the banner inscribed by Fang Sheng. Fang Sheng was furious: "As long as I kill that unjust person in person, I would rather lose my life and brains.
You don't even care." Mr. Zhu laughed disapprovingly after hearing this: "The unjust man has his own disaster waiting for him, so why do you need to mobilize troops?"
Governor Zhang and Mr. Zhu were the candidates who passed the exam in the same year under the supervision of Governor Fang. It was the first year that Governor Fang took office in Shaanxi. The following year, Governor Fang strongly recommended that Governor Zhang go to Japan to study at his official expense.
Japan participated in Mr. Sun Yat-sen's alliance, and after returning to Shaanxi, he became Governor Fang's number one political enemy. Until he succeeded anyway, Governor Fang fled from Guanzhong in a hurry. Mr. Zhu said: "My mentor often said, 'Four times benefit the world.' After serving in Qin for many years,
It is quite popular. Now you have led hundreds of thousands of troops into Guanzhong with a sword, and Zhang is not the only one who has been cut in half. There is panic in the city and outside the city. There are rumors that the teacher is going to cleanse the city. When the war starts, the people will be harmed, and you will be infamy for all eternity.
That's it." At this point, Mr. Zhu picked up his robe and left. Fang Sheng persuaded him to stay and said, "I'll see you again at dawn." Mr. Zhu said with a smile, "I'm dressed in coarse cloth, and the bandits don't like me. I don't have a penny in my bag.
Whoever kills me will not be able to make money or gain anything, and it will be useless." After that, he went on his way.
Mr. Zhu stayed overnight at the home of his teacher. The teacher's surname was Yang, given name Pu, and given name Yiqu. He was the last descendant of the Guanzhong school. Mr. Zhu stayed for two days and returned to the provincial capital to repay Governor Zhang. As soon as Governor Zhang met, he
He knelt down and said: "On behalf of the Sanqin elders who were saved from the massacre, I pay my respects to Mr. Zhu." Only then did Mr. Zhu get the conclusive news that Governor Fang had stopped his troops and led an army of 200,000 to evacuate Gupofen and return to Gansu and Ningxia.
Governor Zhang immediately ordered a banquet to be prepared to celebrate Mr. Zhu’s victory. Mr. Zhu took out an earthen jar from his sack, held it in his hand and began to eat. Governor Zhang said embarrassedly: “Sir, aren’t you looking down on me?”
The husband smiled disapprovingly and said: "When we are friends, we should cut out the complicated and simplify it." After eating and drinking a cup of hot tea, he picked up his robe and said goodbye. Governor Zhang held on tightly: "I also want to ask you to keep your calligraphy treasure." Mr. Zhu
Then he put down his robe, took up the pen and wrote two lines of childlike calligraphy in a doll-like style on the rice paper:
Enlarged feet, short hair
Nails should always be cut shallowly
Governor Zhang frowned and was confused. Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "I am going back to my aunt's grave. I heard children singing songs along the way. I will copy a few sentences for your enjoyment." After that, he picked up his robe and left. Governor Zhang first
It needs to be transported by car, and it needs to be transported by sedan chair, and it needs to be carried by horses. Mr. Zhu said: "It is not suitable for cars and horses to make noise."
Bai Jiaxuan couldn't help but lament loudly that the trip to his brother-in-law's great-aunt was too risky. After talking about Bai Lang, Bai Jiaxuan raised many questions: How could he live without the emperor and still accept the imperial food? Is it still according to the "good time, place, people and people" determined by the Qing family?
What does a man with pigtails look like when he pays for food at the sixth level? A woman with two big fat feet is not disgusting. Mr. Zhu listened to his wife and brother's complaints without comment. He took out a neatly copied article from the drawer and handed it to him.
Jiaxuan: "Hair is something external to the body. Cutting it saves the time and trouble of combing it every day. Women's feet are originally used for walking. Letting them loose is more convenient for movement, which is considered a good thing. Only how to live the future is the biggest and most difficult thing.
"I've drafted a plan for living in the past few days. Do you think it's feasible?" Bai Jiaxuan took a look and saw that it was the "Country Agreement" written by his brother-in-law in meticulous regular script:
1. Virtue and karma encourage each other. Virtue means that when you see something good, you must do it. If you hear something wrong, you must change it. You can manage your body, you can cultivate your family, you can do things for your father and brother, you can teach your children, you can control children and servants, you can respect your elders, you can be kind to relatives and neighbors, you can choose friends, you can keep integrity, you can give benefits and you can receive them.
Can save people in trouble, correct mistakes, work for others, gather people to solve problems, resolve struggles, resolve disputes, create benefits and eliminate harm, hold official posts, and any good deeds that are recommended by everyone will be recorded in books and regarded as good deeds. The industry is called home.
Serving as a father and brother, teaching the children to treat wives and concubines, making friends with senior officials, teaching young people to be royal servants, studying, managing the fields, running the household, giving gifts, giving good gifts, shooting archery, and counting books.
2. The sixth fault of breach of contract: 1. Drinking and fighting, 2. Exceeding the limit of conduct, 3. Acting disrespectfully, 4. Disloyalty in words, 5. Spreading rumors and slander, 6. Going too far for personal gain. 4. Breach of contract: 1.
The second one is the fault of not being consistent with each other. The third one is the lack of compliance with the etiquette and customs. The fourth one is not caring for each other in times of adversity. The fifth fault of not cultivating one's friends is: one is not the person to whom the friendship is due. It is not limited to scholars and common people, but the vicious and idle people are invisible and despised by everyone.
If you follow him day and night, it is a friendship. If you have to go back and forth temporarily, it is not a game. Lazy travel means coming in and out without any reason and seeing many people. He is leisurely. He laughs excessively and intends to invade or ride a horse. Such laziness
It is said that those who do not cultivate their careers and do not take care of their family affairs and that the house and courtyard are unclean are called three days; those who move in an unruly manner and are impolite; those who do not speak properly should speak; those who are too well-dressed and completely incomplete; those who enter the market without their clothes are called four days.
Those who do not abide by their duties, neglect their duties, neglect their schedules, and neglect their duties. Five: Those who do not spend their money sparingly and do not consider the family's faults. Those who spend extravagantly cannot live in poverty and do not pursue the path. Those who do not repair the above-mentioned faults will be written down in the book. Three faults
Then the punishment will be imposed.
Third, the intersection of etiquette and customs......
Bai Jiaxuan returned to Bailu Village that night and handed the text of the "Town Agreement" and a letter written by Mr. Zhu to Mr. Xu to Mr. Xu in the school. After reading it, Mr. Xu high-fived and praised: "This is a fundamental solution.
To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about studying farming these days, and Xu has become disheartened. Now I have received a personal letter from my husband, asking me to help you practice the "Township Covenant" in Bailu Village and teach the people to behave politely.
Righteousness, to rectify the world."
Bai Jiaxuan also invited Lu Zilin to the ancestral hall to discuss matters. After Lu Zilin read the full text of the "Township Covenant", he was filled with emotion: "If we, the villagers of Bailu Village, behave according to the "Township Covenant", we will really become a country of etiquette." The three people immediately discussed how to get it.
A plan was made to implement the "Township Agreement" in Bailu Village, and the patriarch Bai Jiaxuan was responsible for the implementation. That night, Mr. Xu copied the full text of the "Township Agreement" on yellow paper and posted it on the wall outside the gate of the ancestral hall early the next morning;
, all men of the Bailu surname and above sixteen years old gathered in the school, and Mr. Xu explained the "Country Covenant" one by one, sentence by sentence. It was stipulated that they must come every night, and those who were sick or had something to do must ask for leave from Bai Jiaxuan; every man was required
Teach the articles of the "Township Covenant" memorized in school to his wife and children; students must also learn and memorize the "Township Covenant" in school, just like the local textbooks. Bai Jiaxuan solemnly announced to the villagers: "Learn for use. Once you learn it, you must
When talking, walking, and behaving in society, you must do what the "Township Agreement" says. Any violation of the "Township Agreement" will be recorded by Mr. Xu; those who violate it three times will be punished according to the severity of the case."
Punishment regulations include kneeling down, fines, fines, and whipping. Every night in the ancestral hall of Bailu Village, the sound of farmers reciting the "Country Treaty" can be heard. From then on, they stole chickens, picked peaches and melons.
Such things suddenly disappeared. Gambling businesses such as playing Pai Gow, playing mahjong, rolling dice, etc. were all abandoned. Fights and fights in the streets no longer happened. Everyone in Bailu Village became amiable and polite.
Even his speaking voice became soft and delicate.
Bai Jiaxuan walked through the street and caught a glimpse of Bai Mancang's wife sitting on the beaten stone outside the street gate, breastfeeding her baby.
An example of a violation of etiquette was given. Bai Mancang blushed with shame, and when he went back that night, he slapped the embarrassing woman twice. From then on, the women were consciously imprisoned in the house while breastfeeding their children.
Bai Jiaxuan also invited two stonemasons to chisel out two bluestone tablets, engraved the full text of the "Township Treaty", and mounted them on both sides of the main entrance of the ancestral hall, reflecting each other with the "Renyi Bailu Village" vertical stele planted in the yard. This
The carving project continued for many days, and the two stonemasons were chiseling and carving words on the stone. Bai Jiaxuan, no matter how nervous or tired he was from working in the fields, he would come to the ancestral hall at least once a day to watch.
Later that day, while he was sitting on a small stool watching the masons carving words, Lu Zilin walked into the ancestral hall and told him with a smile: "Brother Jiaxuan, the county government has appointed my brother to serve as the security center of Bailu Town." Bai Jiaxuan
Asked: "How did Xiang Yue become an official name?" Lu Zilin said: "That's what people call it."
