Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 122 Eclipse
Large and small earthen furnaces were built one after another, and a large amount of manure was decomposed and turned into manure, waiting to be buried in the soil next spring.

Yang Xiu had already patted off the unknown substance in his hand, looking at the barren land, he also sighed: "The cause I planted myself, even the fruit waiting for the future is so interesting, this new learning is really mysterious."

"The mystery is not new knowledge, but people."

He Yan exposed the essence from the side: "Sometimes people are really cheap. When something can be easily obtained, he will not cherish it; on the contrary, when a thing cannot be easily obtained, he will be full of it." eager."

"Even though, this thing actually doesn't make any difference to him."

Yang Xiu couldn't help smiling when he heard this: "Shenhou's words are interesting."

Without getting too entangled in this matter, Yang Xiu asked again: "Marquis Shen, apart from farming, Xinxue has also researched other things."

"Naturally."

He Yan took out the "Mencius" from his pocket and threw it to Yang Xiu: "This paper and book, Mr. Yang is interested."

As a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, Yang Xiu naturally understood the value of this book, and was immediately overjoyed.

"500 dollars."

"what?"

Yang Xiu was a little dumbfounded.

He Yan asked unceremoniously: "What? Didn't Langzhong Yang think that the things developed by the new learning should be sacrificed in vain to save the world?"

"In the long run, I don't know if the world can be saved, but this new study will definitely starve to death."

Seeing He Yan's appearance, Yang Xiu suddenly laughed: "Interesting! Interesting! I am more interested in this new study!"

"However, Marquis Shen should also know that my Yang family also has no spare money these days. I wonder if we can extend it for a few days?"

"Good talk!"

Facing the big dog Yang Xiu, He Yan smiled very happily.

To make money, you still have to earn the money of these local tyrants!

--------

--------

The laziness of winter makes time go faster.

Exhaustion and severe cold blocked the door, so He Yan reluctantly hid in Hewu to discuss the art of going to school with Deng's mother.

After barely surviving the cold winter in the warm quilt, spring, which symbolizes the recovery of all things, is coming one after another.

The spring of farming civilization is naturally extremely important.

In addition to "Sui Dynasty" and "Zhengdan" which have a slightly more political significance, it is the most important spring plowing.

For such a big event, even the emperor can't be careless.Wearing a mian suit, with a large belt, knee covering and socks, go to the eastern suburb of Xuchang to preside over the big ceremony.

As the Marquis of Shen, He Yan, although his official position is not high, his grade is astonishing, so he was naturally drawn to participate in this spring plowing ceremony.

Originally, He Yan was somewhat reluctant, but after counting the days, he hurriedly followed him.

Because this spring plowing ceremony is actually on Ding Mao's day!
That is... the new learning deduces the day when the solar eclipse will occur!
Naturally, He Yan would not believe that this was a coincidence. Who knows how many dirty transactions he could not see behind the scenes.

but,

What does this have to do with He Yan?
Anyway, He Yan only needs to eat melons honestly.

Today's chess players are destined to be the emperor and Cao Cao.

Today's duel is destined to be between the imperial power and the aristocratic family.

As for the new learning... Anyway, it will be the winner anyway!

He Yan turned his head and looked.

Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Guo Jia, Xun You...

None of these people were there.

Instead, there are a lot of mediocre officials wearing gold, purple, silver and blue.

Among them, there is Sikong Zhao Wen who has never met before, but both sides have confronted once.

Zhao Wen naturally also saw He Yan, but the imaginary tit-for-tat did not appear. As soon as Zhao Wen's eyes touched He Yan, he immediately drifted away and disappeared.

Obviously, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, this group of people really didn't dare to escape as before, and became obedient and docile.

Seeing Zhao Wen like this, He Yan was very bored, so he searched for other people in the crowd.

Hua Xin has gone out now, and Chen Qun and Ding You are at home, without official status.

Then presumably, it was the social flamboyant Xun Yu who made the trouble this time.

Shang Shuling, as the three sitting alone, is almost second only to the Sangong Jiuqing, just behind the emperor's car, very conspicuous.

When He Yan looked at Xun Yu, he really found that our courtesan was a little nervous today, chatting about something.

Xun Yu is loyal to Han, this matter is true.

But loyalty, how loyal should be divided.

If it is generalized, there is not a single disloyal man among the princes and scholars in the world.Even Yuan Shu, who proclaimed himself emperor, could be called a "loyal man", after all, he just called himself "Zhong Tianzi".

"Bo Zhong Shu Ji", this "Zhong" means the second.

Yuan Shu called himself the Son of Heaven, which meant he recognized the eldest son of the Emperor of Han, and Yuan Shu ranked second.

Even proclaiming the emperor is willing to put the big man first, what is this called a loyal man?Could it be called anti-Han?
But if you look at it from another angle, none of the princes and scholars in this world are loyal.

Since you are a loyal Han, why didn't Yuan Shao obediently come to Xuchang alone after the edict was issued that day?Why didn't Liu Bei continue to stay here in Xuchang as his left general?
You don't even pay attention to the edict of the emperor, what kind of loyal are you?
Therefore, there is a word "heart" in the word "loyalty", and there is a word "zhong" on the word "heart".

"Loyalty" is to be self-centered.

No matter how much Xun Yu cares about the signboard of a big man, he still has to consider it for the Xun family of Yingchuan and his own future.

Everyone hopes that the big man's sign will be erected here.

But its owner can no longer be the Son of Heaven.

Restoration of the Han Dynasty.

And recover the Han emperor.

In the end there is a difference.

While He Yan was thinking about it, an officer of courtesy climbed up to the farm altar that had been prepared early to salute.

This ceremonial official is none other than Kong Rong, the [-]th generation grandson of Kong Shengren, the current Taizhong doctor.

Like most officials of the Han Dynasty, since Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan drove Kong Rong back from Qingzhou, Kong Rong automatically hugged Liu Xie's thigh and joined the anti-Cao faction coyly.

The so-called anti-Cao is to scold Cao Cao while eating Cao Cao's food.

But these days, Kong Rong's food has become less and less sweet.

Because before Cao Cao confronted Yuan Shao, Kong Rong not only scolded people while eating, but also came out to eat and eat, and took the initiative to write a letter to Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to surrender to Yuan Shao...

Kong Rong's hand is not very good.

If you just do some small tricks like Zhao Wen, there is at least room for relaxation with Cao Cao.

But he directly persuaded Cao Cao to surrender, which was almost the same as surrendering to the enemy.

That is to say, Cao Cao saw that Kong Rong had a high reputation. In addition, during the Battle of Guandu, many ministers secretly contacted Yuan Shao.

The issue is.

Kong Rong is not the kind of person who knows how to be grateful.

Facing Cao Cao's benevolence, Kong Rong might even bury Cao Cao in his heart, saying that Cao Cao was putting on airs.

In particular, Kong Rong, as a scholarly scholar, has also heard some rumors about "new learning" recently.

Kong Rong naturally hated this kind of thing that destroyed the foundation of imperial power.

"What a joke! How can manpower calculate destiny? Are those people really not afraid of losing their lives?"

Kong Rong looked at the bright and warm sun above his head, and couldn't help but sneer.

"It's just a clown! Your Majesty, is the real destiny!"

There are many thoughts in his heart, but on the surface Kong Rong is still quite professional, and he did not show any disrespect during the whole prostration.

After the ceremony, Kong Rong, the official of ceremonies, instructed the chief priest to perform the "initial offering" ceremony.

The ceremonial officer and the chief sacrificial wine also quoted praises to the wine shop. The deacon drank the wine and knelt in front of the god of Xiannong.

Yidu wished the position to kneel, and all the officials knelt.After reading Zhu, kowtow, Xingping body, reset.

He also praised Xingya's gift and reset him.

He also praised the gift at the end of the line, and praised the kneeling position of drinking blessings, receiving blessings, drinking blessing wine, receiving blessings, kowtow, rejuvenating the body, and restoring the body.

Kneel three times and kowtow nine times, reset.

After that, Li Bi.

Only in this way can it be regarded as a complete set of sacrificial gifts.

However, this is just a sacrificial ceremony, not a complete spring plowing ceremony.

The emperor led all the officials back to the palace, changed into official uniforms, and rushed to the northern suburbs to plow the fields.

The division flag raises the green flag, and the field drum is idle.

Before Si Cheng draws the copper gongs to set up the flag and drums, the drums are repeated and the gongs are played, and the words are sung.

The Indian official Bing Lei.

Inspecting one person into the whip.

The classics are sown in green boxes.

After a group of agricultural officials finished their work, it was the emperor's turn to lead all the officials to "push the ceremony".

Pushing the ceremony is to personally carry Leisi.

And "Zhou Li" clearly records:
"The son of heaven pushes three times, the three princes push five times, and the princes push nine."

From Liu Xie, to Cao Cao... to He Yan behind.

He Yan is now the Marquis of Shen and belongs to Qing, so he has to carry out the "Nine Pushing Ceremony" according to the etiquette system.

He Yan stepped forward to hold the plowing Leisi, and pushed it symbolically nine times.

hmm~~~~
Easy!There is no fatigue of the farmers at all.

……

After pushing the ceremony, Liu Xie came to Guangengtai again, preparing for the last item - awarding old farmers and senior citizens.

A group of octogenarians were taken to the viewing platform by tiger warriors wearing armor and holding spears, and let them accept the reward from the emperor.

Liu Xie grabbed a handful of seeds, and put the seeds in the hands of the leading old man: "I also hope that the three elders will supervise the farming for me, so that there will be a good harvest in the coming year."

According to the script...ah no, according to the procedure, at this time the old man would kneel down and thank the emperor for his kindness, and then say some words that he had memorized long ago.

But this time, it was a little different.

I saw the old man crying bitterly after taking the seeds in Liu Xie's hands, which made all the ceremony officials including Kong Rong panic.

"Take it down! Take it down quickly!"

Kong Rong frantically winked at the surrounding officials, wanting them to quickly take away the old man who didn't follow the script.

It's a pity that no one pays attention to him at all...

I only heard the old man crying: "Your Majesty! Four of my sons have been killed by Yuan Shao in the north, and there is no one to inherit the incense. What if this is a bumper harvest?"

He Yan, who was drowsy in the audience just now, regained his spirits, straightened his back and stretched his neck to watch the good show on the viewing platform.

This old man is 100% from the family!

In fact, the three elders of the Han Dynasty, especially the three elders of the Eastern Han Dynasty, were basically the elders of the aristocratic family.

So of course there is no need for He Yan to guess what this old man is today.

But it was very interesting for the other party to mention Yuan Shao.

You know, Yuan Shao dared to fight Cao Cao openly and aboveboard, and he set off under the banner of Emperor Han.

Now there are three elders who accuse their sons of being killed by Yuan Shao. This blame, ask Liu Xie if he will bear it or not?
Liu Xie's face was already a little twitched, obviously he knew what the old man meant.

If you carry this pot... Impossible!How can Emperor Han take the blame?If Liu Xie really dared to admit this, tomorrow a lot of Han officials would dare to write a letter to abolish the emperor.

After all, an unkind and unkind father could not support the Han Dynasty's signboard no matter what.

What's more, Liu Xie was supported by Dong Zhuo, and his legitimacy was already in doubt, so he can't make mistakes again.

But if he didn't take the blame, he would undoubtedly be cheating Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao tried his best to come to rescue you, and if you give him the title of "Chinese thief", not to mention Yuan Shao, even other princes and officials will be chilled.

But Liu Xie knew that he might have to throw Yuan Shao out.

If Yuan Shao is not thrown out, how should the old man answer?
It is necessary to characterize Yuan Shao as a traitor, this battlefield is correct.

And only if the war is correct, the death of the old man's son is meaningful.

Not only the old man's son...

Liu Xie quietly glanced at Cao Cao behind him from the corner of his eye.

If the war is correct, Cao Cao will naturally be the hero guarding the Han Dynasty.

Since he is a hero, the clothes and belt edicts before...of course they don't exist!
Cao Cao, it is clear that he wants to kill two birds with one stone. He not only wants to give his old opponent Yuan Shao a black punch, but also wants to wash away the negative effects of the "clothes belt edict"!

Can Liu Xie agree to such a thing?

Liu Xie took a deep breath and slowly helped the old man up: "The three elders died for the country..."

……

Yes, Liu Xie agreed!

For the sake of his throne and the face of Emperor Han, he had to smash his teeth and swallow them in his stomach!

As long as today's news gets out, everyone in the world will regard Yuan Shao as a traitor who is poisoning the people of the world!

From now on, as long as Liu Xie is still in power, Yuan Shao will be a traitor that everyone in the world will punish!

Such a political blow, even if Yuan Shao had the reputation of the fourth generation and the third prince, I am afraid he would not be able to bear it.

He Yan watched Liu Xie's performance with great interest. Although Liu Xie's face was stiff at this time, he was still able to maintain a normal state.

"But it's just an appetizer!"

He Yan raised his head and stared at the sun for a long time: "Wait a minute, it should be a real big show!"

On the viewing platform, Liu Xie could be regarded as quick-witted, and managed to evade the three elders with words, so he wanted to hastily end this unexpected spring plowing ceremony.

"His Majesty!"

Just when Liu Xie was about to run away, a person suddenly stopped Liu Xie.

Seeing this person's appearance, let alone Liu Xie, even He Yan was startled, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Why is it him?"

He Yan thought that Xun Lingjun would take the lead in throwing the first punch, but he didn't expect that Yang Biao would stand up!

Yang Biao, who is too frequent in the court and has been the three princes all over the world!
He Yan's eyes gradually became strange, and gradually shifted his gaze from Yang Biao to Cao Cao.

How much money did Cao Cao spend to make Yang Biao rebel?
500 million yuan, cheering for the new school, and then today's attack.

Is one of the Three Dukes enough for these?
He Yan's gaze seemed to have caught Cao Cao's attention. Cao Cao glanced at He Yan, shook his head slightly, and then returned to the good show of the central government.

"Yang Taichang! What are you doing?"

It was not Liu Xie who spoke, but Kong Rong, who is today's ceremony official.

I saw Kong Rong glaring at him, scarlet blood had already covered the whites of his eyes and was spreading towards the eye sockets.

What are you doing!
What are you guys trying to do?
Does it have to be today?

Does it have to be at this spring plowing ceremony?

Kong Rong scolded angrily: "Yang Taichang! Today is the ceremony of spring plowing. Even if you report to the emperor, you should wait until tomorrow's court meeting! As the head of the Jiuqing who is in charge of rituals and music, don't you have such rules? "

Yang Biao was a little "embarrassed": "Because I am in a very important position, I have to report to His Majesty today."

"Also, the Spring Plowing Ceremony has already been rewarded to the old farmers and senior citizens, so it can be regarded as a successful curtain call. Doctor Kong is now answering on behalf of the emperor, which is a bit out of order."

Kong Rong squinted his eyes, but in his heart he wanted to tear Yang Biao into pieces!
"Private Yang, what's the matter?"

When Liu Xie saw Yang Biao stand up, he didn't have much fear in his heart.

Yang Biao was an absolutely loyal minister who followed him from Luoyang to Chang'an, and from Chang'an to Xuchang.

Yang Biaozhong's is the banner of Emperor Han.

As long as Liu Xie is still the Emperor of Han for a day, he doesn't believe that Yang Biao will betray him!

But apparently...

Liu Xie has forgotten how a large number of scholar-bureaucrats abandoned the Han Dynasty and chose to support Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

The situation of the Han Dynasty at that time was much better than that of the Han Dynasty today.

Again, there are individuals who betray class, but there is absolutely no class who betrays interests.

Yang Biao is not alone after all...

I just listened to Yang Biao playing to Liu Xieqi unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, today I heard that there is a book "New Interpretation of Zhouyi" among scholars..."

coming!

Whether it's He Yan, who only cares about watching the show, or Cao Cao, who is behind the scenes, or Liu Xie, who plays the leading role, all of them are tense at the same time and dare not relax in the slightest.

"It is recorded in the book that the celestial phenomena actually have their own laws of operation, just like spring and autumn coming, the sun and the moon rising, and it has nothing to do with the words of prophecy!"

"Such remarks are really appalling! Since I am too often in charge of etiquette, I can't ignore it. Therefore, I have come here to report to His Majesty. I hope His Majesty can clear up my doubts..."

"Yang Biao!"

Kong Rong had completely lost his composure at this time. He never thought that even Yang Biao, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, would rebel and join Cao Cao's side!

Liu Xie also had a pale face, the calm expression just now had long since disappeared.

He never expected that Yang Biao, whom he had always trusted, would actually betray him!
Liu Xie looked up at the still round sun angrily, and his voice was also a few degrees colder: "Why did Yang Taichang ask? Heaven and man are one, and heaven and man are interlinked! Such questions that young children can't ask, you can come and ask Me?"

The king who is envoyed by the sky must have someone who is beyond the reach of human power, and this is the talisman of destiny!

This Heavenly Human Sensation is the amulet that Emperor Liu most relies on!Anyone who wants to tear off this amulet is the enemy of Emperor Liu!Never die!

Liu Xie's hand was already on his saber. Obviously, Yang Biao, who was trying to challenge the majesty of Liu's emperor, had really offended Liu Xie's Nilin!Liu Xie's hatred for him seems to have surpassed Cao Cao!
Just when Liu Xie was about to be unable to hold back, He Yan seemed to feel something, so he raised his head and slowly looked in the direction of the sun.

"Oh shit? Xiao Liu is going to be embarrassed!"

heaven.

A black moon has already opened its mouth, biting towards the gentle spring day!
