Chapter Eleven The Great Lie

Bacon cried and was taken away by Lu Qingqing and the others. Yun Zheng sat in front of the table and tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a while. After weighing the pros and cons of marrying the princess of Qin into the family, he stopped thinking about it. Yun Er is not

Fool, he must have his own ideas to make this choice. I have rarely communicated with this brat in the past few years, and I really have no idea about his temperament.

All I knew was that he was fooling around with Su Shi and Su Xun brothers all day long. Lu Qingqing secretly said in private that this guy had already won a great reputation in the brothel. Unlike Su Shi who had killed someone, this guy seemed to know how to keep himself clean.

What kind of character is there in the Four Young Masters of the Capital?

Su Shi's style of poetry has slowly emerged. Others need to hold back each poem one by one when writing poems. This guy writes poems as happily as pouring water from a vat. The most terrible thing is that he hasn't finished pouring yet.

At that time, many of his poems were sung by prostitutes. It was said that he had been a benefactor of Goulan Courtyard for a long time and showed signs of inheriting Liu Qi's mantle.

Yun Zheng's head is a little big just thinking about it. He feels that it is necessary to have a good talk with these three bastards and hear what their plans are. It is not a problem to hang around all day. They are still young and cannot put themselves

All the good days were wasted absurdly.

Yun Zheng sat on a recliner like a lazy cat, letting the fallen leaves fall on his face. It didn't hurt, but it was a little itchy. He also stretched out his hand to wait for the leaves to fall on his hands. Once the leaves fell on his hands, they would fall on his face.

I happily put it in front of my eyes, carefully counted the veins on the leaf, and finally put the leaf into the book with great satisfaction.

The book is "Bamboo Book Annals", which is a chronicle-style general history written by the historians of the Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Wei State during the Warring States Period. It records the history from Xia, Shang and Zhou to the Warring States Period. There are thirteen chapters, organized by year, describing Xia,

The Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were followed by the Jin Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom. After King Zhou Ping moved eastward, the Jin Dynasty was used to chronologically. After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty was chronological. According to "Book of Jin. Volume 51", there are thirteen chapters in the original book.

The Bamboo Annals are chronological history books that record the history of the pre-Qin period and are very different from traditional official history records.

Yun Zheng was interested in this book when he was studying in college. It was just that it was difficult to see this ancient book when he was in college. This kind of book was usually only lent to gentlemen doing research. Yun Zheng wanted to borrow it.

I don’t know how many times I was rejected.

It is said that this book still existed before the founding of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty's "Chongwen General Catalog", "Junzhai Shulu Zhi" and "Zhizhai Shulu Jieti" no longer include descriptions. It may be that from the Anshi Rebellion to the late Tang and Five Dynasties, the manuscripts were gradually scattered.

U.S.

How could Yun Zheng be overjoyed now that he could find this book in the northwest? The pre-Qin period itself was a mystery in Chinese history. Yun Zheng had a nerdy temper at heart and wanted to completely understand this book.

The text of this book is obscure and very difficult to understand, not to mention that the book itself has many defects. It was only after Yun Zheng read it in the northwest for a long time that he understood why the Song Dynasty people voluntarily abandoned this book, so that the "Chongwen General Catalog"

”, “Jun Zhai Shu Lu”, “Zhi Zhai Shu Lu Xie Qi” and other general books are not recorded.

This book made Yun Zheng more and more frightened as he read it. It turned out that "The Bamboo Chronicles" was too different from the Han Confucian classics. The actual situation is that "The Bamboo Chronicles" broke through the ancient Confucian historical system.

The role of abdication in the Confucian ethical and moral governance system is very important. It is a model of governing the country with etiquette and benevolence. The "Bamboo Book Annals" says: "In the past, Yao's virtue declined and he was imprisoned by Shun." It also said that "Houji released Emperor Zhu

"Yu Danshui" Hou Ji is Shun. Obviously it was Shun who imprisoned Yao and exiled Yao's son before ascending to the throne. How could there be any concession?

"Han Feizi. Talking about Suspicion" can be summed up in one sentence: "Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Tang released Jie, and King Wu defeated Zhou. These four kings are the ones whose ministers killed their kings." In other words, there has been a change of power in China since then.

After something like this, none of the methods are bright.

As for the "Prisoner in Tonggong" advertised by Song Confucians as the highest standard of moral model, it is even more of a joke.

Speaking of the imprisonment in Tonggong, we have to talk about Yi Yin, an important auxiliary minister of the Shang Dynasty. According to the "Bamboo Book Annals", Yi Yin banished Shang Tang's eldest grandson "Taijia" to become independent. Taijia was imprisoned in Tonggong for two years.

After many years, he later found an opportunity to escape from Tong Palace and return to the capital. He killed Yi Yin and restored the throne. He also treated Yi Yin's two sons magnanimously and let them divide Yi Yin's land and house. The original text is: "Yi Yin

Taijia was placed in Tong, and Yin became independent. He stayed in Taijia for seven years. Taijia sneaked out of Tong, killed Yiyin, and established his sons Yizhi and Yifen. He ordered his father's farm and house to be restored and divided among them.

"

But in Confucian historical materials, the story became like this: After Taijia inherited the throne, he did not listen to Yi Yin's advice and started to behave wildly. Taijia was imprisoned in Tong Palace by Yi Yin. He deeply regretted it, and finally changed his ways and performed well, so

Yiyin welcomed him back to the capital. Yiyin praised Taijia for his repentance. Taijia replied: "I have violated your teachings in the past, and I hope you will continue to guide me on the right path in the future. Disasters created by God can still be avoided;

There is no way to escape the disaster I created myself."

The above passage is also the famous saying "If you commit evil by Heaven, you can violate it; if you commit evil by yourself, you cannot violate it. This famous saying is recorded in "Book of Rites. Zhenyi"). So, a treacherous minister became a loyal minister and launched a campaign

Yi Yin, who usurped the throne in a palace coup, suddenly became a selfless saint.

Every time Yun Zheng saw an omission or something that was inconsistent with the official history, Yun Zheng would mark it with a leaf. Looking at the book filled with thick leaves, Yun Zheng sighed and put it in the book.

He handed the book to Lu Qingqing and said, "Lock this book into the treasure house and don't let Yun Er and the others see it. This book shouldn't appear."

Lu Qingqing whispered: "Since it is an only copy, why don't you print this book? You are not a stingy person."

Yun Zheng scratched his chin and said ashamedly: "The main reason is that we lied and told too many lies, and it felt a little unnatural when we saw the truth."

Lu Qingqing said disapprovingly: "The purpose of learning is to seek truth. How can you be so taboo about the truth? As a woman, I know this truth. You have always been open-minded, so why can't you see it?"

Yun Zheng said worriedly: "We all know the truth, but we are officials. How can we hang out in the court without practicing the ability to tell lies? After a while, you will see a large group of learned scholars, each

She looks majestic and high-spirited, but inside she is a shriveled, rotten orange."

Lu Qingqing quickly covered her husband's mouth, looked around and whispered: "Not to mention the tools of Qiancheng." Just say this, don't say those rotten orange words, otherwise you will be regarded as an enemy.

"

Yun Zheng nodded and said: "In that case, you should hide this book carefully. Don't let others see it. If you see it, you will be in big trouble. The things in this book are much more cruel than rotten oranges.

"

Lu Qingqing looked at the book in his hand, then at his drooling son in the cradle, gritted his teeth, and stuffed the "Bamboo Book Chronicles" into the small stove for making tea. Yun Zheng was shocked and wanted to take it back.

, but he got up halfway and lay back lazily, not even looking at the burning book.

Lu Qingqing's method may be wrong, but this method is probably the most correct. Anyway, after telling a lie a hundred times, it becomes the truth. People always yearn for light and happiness, and there should be more illusions in the world.

, having a little more expectation is a hundred times better than staying in a dark mess of ink, even if this light is false, it’s not bad.

Lu Qingqing watched the book burn to ashes, and then smashed the ashes with fire chopsticks. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay now. No matter what is said in this book, only you know it."

, it will not harm our descendants."

Yun Zheng curled up on the recliner and said quietly: "You have done much more ruthlessly than Qin Shihuang. Stay away from me. I won't want to see you now. I will wait until I meet a large group of Su Confucians, accept the influence, and learn how to lie."

Live a good life with you."

Lu Qingqing smiled coquettishly, took his son out of the cradle, put it in front of Yun Zheng, shook it and said with a sweet smile: "Look, this is your son, his eyes are wide open waiting for daddy to get angry!"

Seeing the child drooling with his toothless mouth open, Yun Zheng's worries suddenly disappeared, and the stone in his heart immediately turned into honey. For this brat, Yao, Shun, and Yu would have been killed by a wild boar.

It's better to just follow the crowd. It's a good life for a large group of people to laugh and tell lies together. You tell lies and I tell lies. If the negative and negative are both positive and negative, maybe you can become a big person.

To be honest, life is difficult these days, so I can only look forward to this.

Han Qi's hearty laughter was heard from two yards away. Yun Zheng climbed up from the chair with difficulty, straightened his clothes, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and walked out laughing.

As he walked, he said loudly: "A distinguished guest is coming to the door. I heard his voice before I saw him. Mr. Han, I haven't seen you for many days. Is your health safe?"

"I've heard for a long time that the Yun family has good food and tea. I'm here today with my colleagues. If you don't treat me well, I'll scold you."

Yun Zheng opened the bead curtain and saw the smiling Pang Ji and Han Qi. He immediately bowed and saluted and said: "Yun Zheng acted recklessly and frightened the superior officer. It is Yun Zheng's fault. If he misses today, he will definitely apologize to His Majesty in person.

All gentlemen are here today, it is a grand event for Yun Mansion, I have already given instructions to the kitchen, I will not let you go home disappointed."

"As for Changsheng, I have long heard that the beef buns in your house are excellent. I will have a feast today. Come on, come on, let's serve tea quickly. I have already finished the tea that your house sent to my house. I have already drank all the tea in my belly.

The tea bug is already ready to attack, so let’s have a cup of hot tea to calm it down first.” Hanlin scholar Song Qi held Yun Zheng’s sleeves and pulled him in front of everyone with a smile on his face. He joked and introduced some unfamiliar colleagues to him. (
