Shu Chen

Chapter 272
"In the past, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it, so the Han Dynasty prospered. But in the last years of the former Han Dynasty, the people were destitute and hungry for thousands of miles. At that time, there was Wang Mang, who was the hope of the world. He was praised as an ancient sage. Is this not what people want?"

"However, after Wang Mang proclaimed himself emperor, he changed the system against the ancients, reversed the trend, changed the order from day to day, and lost the hope of the world. Therefore, it can be said that the Han Dynasty has not been completely evil?"

"After Guangwu, foreign relatives came to the court and eunuchs intervened in politics. Up to the second emperor Huanling, they sold officials to sell nobles, the court failed to follow the rules, and the officials were corrupt. As a result, moths and thieves were rampant, and upright husbands rose together. This was the disaster of Dong Zhuo and Cao Wei. Is this not self-inflicted?"

"Wei De's artifact, there is the rise of Xuande Gong, a Miao descendant of the Han Dynasty in Bashu, and the impoverished Sun family of Wu County in Jiangdong. The world is a triumvirate, and it is clear who will fall to whose family, who can say for sure!"

"When I was an official in the Han Dynasty in my early years, I saw that the world was turbulent, and the swords and soldiers were endless. There were only five people living in Yongliang. After entering the Wei Dynasty, when the Bashu soldiers came out, the battle between Wei and Zhi was defeated repeatedly. In the counties, there are too many demands for transfer of labor, and the livelihood of the common people is hard to sustain."

"Therefore, why is Wen Ce obsessed!"

"Whether it's Wei Cheng's destiny or Han Zuo is still alive, the dispute between Bi and Zhengshuo is, for the common people, endless wars and precarious situations."

"We are humble scholars, without the power to change the situation, so we go back home, practice in seclusion, live in peace and happiness."

"Self-preservation with virtue, peace of mind and things, for Li Shuxiao and Qu Zhi, do what you can to make your hometown peaceful; follow the words of the sages, study the ancient Confucian classics, teach careers with poems and books, and don't let the hometown be poor."

"This is the kindness of scholars."

In the simple hall, the haggard Pang Li explained Li Jian's confusion with his old and hoarse voice.

The helplessness of Li Shusheng in troubled times, and the worldly principles of what scholars should do and what not to do, are turned into earnest exhortations.

Li Jian, who was listening to the lecture with bated breath, remained silent for a while.

He has just passed the age of the weak crown, and he is still yearning for the ambition of a man who aims everywhere.

It is difficult to understand the vicissitudes of life that Pang Li has experienced, and it takes time to figure out the taste of it.

However, after a short time, his eyes regained their clarity.

He also bowed his head and bowed, and said solemnly, "Mr. Xie is not stingy in teaching. Jane will not be confused by other opinions in the future. She will keep her virtue and accumulate good deeds, but she will always remember her hometown!"

"good."

Nodding his head with a smile, Pang Li got up according to the case, and walked slowly to the eaves.

Silently looking at the young boy under the Populus euphratica tree in the left corner of the courtyard, he turned his head to Li Jian who was following him and said, "I am old and my days are numbered, and it will be difficult to teach for a long time. Wen Ce, how many times have you If you have free time, you can copy all the books in my family home, and in the future, you can pass them on to your hometown."

Li Jian was at a loss for words.

It is not only the generous gift from the elders, but also the ruthlessness of mourning the endless flow of time.

Perhaps, in order to play down the invisible sentimentality, he softly turned the topic to the childish children, "Sir, are these childish children reciting calligraphy? I don't know which sage wrote it, but I have never heard of it."

"Hehe~~~"

Hearing this, Pang Li laughed softly.

And the tone was a little teasing, "This new character book is called "Thousand Characters". It has only been published for ten years, and it has never been introduced to Hexi. Naturally, the literary strategy is not heard. The person who wrote it is not a sage, it seems to be established at this age. In that year, he was Zheng Lang in the mulberry garden in Shifang, Guanghan County."

It turned out to be a new calligraphy book, no wonder I didn't know it.

Li Jian was stunned.

Immediately, his eyes widened again.

Ok? !

Shifang Mulberry Garden Zheng Lang! ?

"Sir, that is Zheng Lang in the mulberry garden."

He was full of astonishment, although he realized something, he still faltered and asked for confirmation, and was interrupted by Pang Hao.

"Of course! It's the person you're going to assassinate, Zheng Zijin, the guard of Hanzhong."

Therefore, he was once again at a loss for words and looked dull.

And what Pang Hao said next shocked him even more, "This book in new characters was sent to me by Zhuge Kongming, Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty."

Mister has a connection with Bashu? !

In an instant, this thought flashed in Li Jian's mind.

But soon he realized that Pang Hao, who was already very old, would never ruin his reputation like this.

Therefore, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and lowered his voice to ask, "Prime Minister Bashu actually gave you calligraphy and books as a gift. Could it be that Mr. Wang is an old friend with him?"

But he didn't want to, Pang Li shook his head slightly.

"No, I have never met Zhuge Kongming in my life."

Uh.
Why is that?

After hearing this, Li Jian was even more surprised.

Pang Hao didn't confuse him for too long, and whispered the reason.

It turned out that when Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was planning the battle of Liangzhou, in order to reduce the resistance of the Han army's conquest, he sent envoys to Hexi to write letters, urging the rich and powerful in all counties and counties to abandon Wei and return to Han.

Such as Dunhuang Zhangjia, Lu Shuihu and so on.

Pang Hao and Yang Feng, who abandoned their official positions and returned to seclusion, are also included in this list.

However, the prime minister, who is well-versed in human feelings, did not persuade the two of them to embrace the Han.

Instead, I ask them to use their own prestige to persuade the Li Shu in their hometown not to be lured by the Wei government with money to join the army and become bones filling the ditch.

As for why the "Thousand Characters" was given as a gift, it was because the prime minister asked Zheng Pu to handle Hexi affairs.

I would like to ask, once the "Thousand Characters" is spread in Hexi, and all rich and poor families will copy it back to enlighten their nephews, will they be more sincere to discuss with Zheng Pu?Do you think that the great Han is more benevolent and righteous to Hexi scholars than Wei Guo?
And when Pang Yu received the calligraphy as a gift, he could also vaguely guess what Prime Minister Zhuge meant.

But he did not hesitate to open a Mongolian school.

He has retired and is old, and he no longer wants to pay attention to the Han and Wei military struggles.

He only knows that it is better to use "Thousand Characters" to enlighten children in his hometown than "Ji Ji Zhang", and this reason is enough.

"Wen Ce, promoting culture and education is a great act of kindness. Don't feel ashamed to copy his new calligraphy just because you have stabbed Zheng Zheng."

After briefly explaining the reason, Pang Hao also exhorted.

"No, it's just as Mr. said."

After hearing this, Li Jian quickly restrained her face and responded.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he said eagerly, "Sir, the battle between the Han and Wei dynasties is on the rise, and the outcome is yet to be decided. Mr. Jin is teaching with Zheng Zijin's "Thousand Characters" in Shifang, Bashu. The county guard will use this as an excuse to harm you! Mr. Jianzhi is not afraid of himself, but please remember your family and keep this book for now."

Indeed, if the Han Dynasty was defeated and the Hexi Corridor was not easy to establish, Pang Yu would be criticized by some interested people for using the calligraphy written by Zheng Pu to teach.

For example, Huang Hua, the governor of Jiuquan County, who has always been afraid of his reputation.

Because the scholars and concubines in Biaoshi County are used to it, and if they encounter problems, they will come to the reputable Pang Chuan to judge them, instead of following the decrees issued by Huang Hua.

Moreover, although Pang Yu abandoned his official position and went into hiding, he still holds the title of Marquis of Guannei in Wei State and enjoys preferential treatment such as tax exemption.

After all, it is not appropriate to enjoy the title of Wei and teach with the books of Hanchen.

But Pang Li didn't take it seriously.

It's not that Li Jian is worried about the sky, but that he has something to rely on, "Wen Ce need not worry. Although the war is about to start, when Jia Du's troops leave Hexi, the defeat is already settled."
