Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 878 Official Relations
Country, this name should be understood in this way.A country is not formed by individual families, but a country is formed, which has the characteristics of a family.What kind of features?It's not that there are only fathers and children in the family, and the children have to obey what the father says. This kind of unreal family.Instead, there is a father and a mother. The father is very strict and has strict requirements. The loving mother must always protect the child, and sometimes even make trouble for no reason.Such a family is real and humane.

In ancient China, there were emperors, prime ministers, and captains.Why is it set up like this?In terms of responsibilities, the emperor sometimes has to play the role of a mother to protect his people.The emperor did not have a clear understanding of his responsibilities, so he would do the work of the prime minister and shirk his responsibilities.The absence of a prime minister after the Ming Dynasty is not a progress of the times, but a change in the emperor's duties.

In modern society, the general country will have a president and a prime minister. Seriously speaking, this position also has a similar division of labor.One of these positions is abolished when the responsibilities are unclear and there is nowhere to start.

The family is talking about a whole, with the consciousness of the whole.Rather than the family relationship, the superior is like a father, and the subordinate is like a child, and the subordinate must listen to the superior.There must be a mother in this family, and the voice of the people must be heard.

Everyone knows what family relationship is like among Han people.But with aliens, it's another matter.The simplest three cardinal guides and five constant principles, before the Song Dynasty, were mostly used to persuade the emperor that if you have the appearance of an emperor, the officials below will have the appearance of officials.After the Yuan Dynasty, they blindly emphasized that ministers should be loyal to the monarch.Going a step further in the Qing Dynasty, it was said that even if the emperor was unworthy, the courtiers must still be loyal.

Modern people often say that a country is a multi-party game.The home is just a layer on top of it, saying that the internal game must be like a home, and it must fight without breaking.The country is a whole, like a family.Although there are father, mother, son, and daughter, it looks like a family from the outside.

This is a great understanding, and it is a great progress in the collective understanding of human beings.

Xin'an county magistrate Cao Yuping looked at the county magistrate Duan Mingrui who came in and said, "I heard that Caifengyuan compiled a small book called "World Affairs". An official wrote a story in it, which is our Xin'an county thing. Xuanfu was very upset after reading this story, and even said that he would come to investigate our Xin'an County, but he didn't know what to investigate. The person who caused Xuanfu's displeasure was Yuanwai Mo. The official who wrote the book was Zhang Di, a colleague who lived in the county. Fu Inn. Go and see what kind of grievances he has with Mo Yuanwai, and he actually made up a story that made Xuan Fu unhappy."

Duan Mingrui said yes.After thinking for a while, he said, "I heard that Mo Yuanwai's concubine also lives in the Tongfu Inn, did some conflict arise?"

Cao Yuping said: "You'll know it after you've seen it. What's the use of guessing? After you've gone, it's best to resolve it and don't make Zhang Di dissatisfied. Xuan Fu is dissatisfied with our governance of Xin'an County, so don't cause trouble again."

Duan Mingrui agreed, turned around and left the Yamen.On the street, after thinking about it for a while, he ordered someone to find Mo Yuanwai.

When Yuanwai saw Duan Mingrui, he hurried forward to salute.

Duan Mingrui said: "A few days ago an official named Zhang Di came to our county, do you know?"

Mo Yuanwai hurriedly said: "Young one knows. A few days ago, I paid a special visit to the young one, but Zhang Di didn't seem to like making friends, so he turned the young one away."

Duan Mingrui said: "This Zhang Di wrote a short story, and Xuan Fu saw it for some reason, and I was a little unhappy. Now you follow me, and meet Zhang Di. If he has any conflicts with you, you will pay for it, early It’s good to get this over with.”

Mo Yuanwai hastily said yes.After walking a few steps, he said, "Why don't we buy some gifts when we come to visit?"

Duan Mingrui said: "That's right. You hurry up and buy some gifts, come and see me."

Not long after, Mo Yuanwai carried a few packages in both hands, and trotted to Duan Mingrui.Duan Mingrui glanced at it, and walked towards Tongfu Inn first.

Arriving at Tongfu Inn, Mo Yuanwai went to the small courtyard at the back with ease.To Duan Mingrui: "Officer, Zhang Di lives here."

Duan Mingrui stepped forward and knocked on the door, waiting quietly.

Not long after, Zhang Di opened the door and looked at the two people outside.

Duan Mingrui cupped his hands: "Duan Mingrui, the county captain in Xiaben County, is here to visit the officials today."

Zhang Di hurriedly said: "So it's Yi Wei, please come in quickly."

After speaking, he opened the door and invited Duan Mingrui into the yard.

When I arrived in the yard, I saw two chairs under the tree, and a pot of tea and a teacup on the table next to it.

Zhang Di said: "Officials, please take a seat. I'll go to the room to get a chair and a teacup."

Member Mo on the side hurriedly said: "Why bother the officer with such a trivial matter, I'll go in and get it. The officer will wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he put the gift in his hand on the table and trotted into the house.He took a chair in the living room, quickly came out and put it beside the table.He went into the living room and took a teacup, went to the well next to it, washed it carefully, and put it on the table when he came back.

Zhang Di turned around and glanced at him, and said, "Remember this is Yuanwai Mo, right? Let's sit together too."

Mo Yuanwai said: "In front of the two officials, how can there be any reason for the younger one to sit? When the two officials sit, the younger one should just stand aside."

Zhang Di saw that Duan Mingrui sat down as usual, looked at Yuanwai Mo, and sat down too.

Duan Mingrui said: "Official Zhang heard that he is an official of Caifeng Academy, forgive me for being ignorant, but I don't know what this Caifeng Academy does?"

Zhang Didao: "Caifengyuan was set up by Xuanfu. It learns the stories of the pre-dynasties and takes the meaning of collecting folk customs. The officials of Caifengyuan travel all over the world and collect folk customs from all over the world. They know why the people are happy and why they are sad; they know what they like and what they hate; what they know. What the people yearn for, what the people hate. And so on. Make it into a booklet for senior officials to use for reference.”

"Oh—" Duan Mingrui nodded. "These days there are rumors that officials wrote a story about Yuanwai Mo after they arrived in Xin'an County. Now the book has not spread to Xin'an County, but I heard that it is very appreciated by Xuan Fu. Officials, after you arrive in Xin'an County, what can you do? Have a conflict with Mo Yuanwai?"

Zhang Di shook his head: "I don't know Mo Yuanwai before, what's the conflict? But I live in Tongfu Inn, and there is a pregnant woman living next door. I heard that this pregnant woman is Mo Yuanwai's concubine. This woman is somewhat different from me. contradiction."

"What contradiction?" Duan Mingrui thought he had found the crux, and asked hastily.

Zhang Di said: "This woman is so unreasonable! I just moved in, and I don't know her, let alone have any grievances, but she threw a large piece of fish intestines into my wall from the outside of the wall for no reason. It was extremely salty. How can I bear it ? Going out and arguing with her. Who would have thought that she would mess around and almost burst my stomach with anger!"

Mo Yuanwai hurriedly said: "It turned out to be like this, I offended you so much! That day I just heard that the woman was arguing with you, and I didn't know what happened. I rushed to the door to apologize, and the officials kicked me out again."

Zhang Di said: "I don't know you before, and I'm an official, so naturally I can't get too entangled with you."

Mo Yuanwai said: "Since she was pregnant, this woman has become violent and can't listen to reason. Since I offended the officials, it's all my fault. Please forgive me. Let's be a host today. Invite the officer to drink a glass of wine."

Zhang Di shook his head after hearing this: "I am an official, and I go to the local area to collect folk songs. How can I drink with other officials? This is forbidden by the law, who dares to do it?"

Mo Yuanwai couldn't help being startled when he heard this, and stood there in a daze.

Duan Mingrui hurriedly said: "When the officials came to the county, our local officials have been careless and have not greeted them all the time. Many are wrong. How about this, we will welcome the officials at Yichun Garden at noon today, so don't refuse. The county magistrate will also arrive at Yichun Garden later, A toast to the officials, welcome to Xin'an County!"

Zhang Di heard that it was a feast for the county officials, so naturally he would not refuse.When I arrived in Xin'an County, I also sent a post to the county, but the county officials never came to see me, and I still feel dissatisfied these days.

After a few more gossips, Duan Mingrui asked Zhang Di to go to Yichun Garden together.

Mo Yuanwai is the owner of Yichun Garden, he got up quickly and followed the two of them.

As soon as he walked to the courtyard, a woman came out of Han Chunchun's courtyard.Seeing Mo Yuanwai, he hurriedly called out: "Mo Yuanwai, let me find it easy! The lady is about to give birth, so I can't wait any longer! You are the father of the child, how can you ignore it?"

Member Mo heard this, and hurriedly stopped in his tracks.Looking at Duan Mingrui, he was very embarrassed.

With a smile on his face, Duan Mingrui said to Member Mo: "This outhouse is also in trouble with Zhang Guanren because she is pregnant. After giving birth, her temper will probably change. Zhang Guanren is a noble person, so I won't argue with him anymore of."

Zhang Di said: "I am a man, how can I care about a woman? I hate her, and I will never see her again."

Member Mo's expression changed when he heard this.Did not speak, bowed his head in thought.

Duan Mingrui said: "I don't see him, how can it be so easy? You are next to each other, you can't see him when you look up."

Zhang Di said: "It's fine if you can't see me. Can she come up and fight as soon as she sees me?"

While talking, the two walked out the door.

Looking at the backs of the two, Mo Yuanwai sighed and shook his head.

The woman said: "Wai Yuan, Mrs. Han is about to give birth, why don't you go in and have a look?"

Mo Yuanwai turned around and looked at the woman.Said: "What is there to see? The child has not yet been born."

The woman said: "As the saying goes, a husband and wife can enjoy a hundred days of kindness. After all, you are a husband and wife, so you have children."

Mo Yuanwai looked at the woman and didn't speak, but his face was gloomy.

The woman was frightened, and whispered: "What's wrong with the officer? His face looks a little scary."

Mo Yuanwai thought about it and then said to the woman, "How do I treat you?"

The woman said: "The officials treat people kindly, and the rewards are high. They are really rare customers."

Mo Yuanwai said: "Since I treat you well, I will ask you something today. My sister-in-law must do it, otherwise I will be hard to be a man."

The woman said: "What's the matter with the officer? Just tell me."

Mo Yuanwai looked at the woman, and after a while, he said, "Han Chunchun gave birth today, I only saw the little one, and I don't want to see the big one again!"
