Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2211 Hum sooner or later

  Xu County.

   Shangshutai was still extremely dull, and many officials hurriedly walked with their heads down.

  Guo Jia walked briskly with a sullen face, completely ignoring the nodding and bowing of the little official next to him, and didn't even take a second look.

The little official who bowed his head in salute slowly turned his head after seeing Guo Jia's robe dangling in front of his eyes. Looking at Guo Jia's back, the corners of his mouth twitched upwards, revealing a somewhat ferocious expression, and then Only then did he return to normal, straightened up, with a humble smile on his face again...

These petty officials are all of ordinary background, basically they are at the same level as Guo Jia, some are a little better, and some are worse, so when they secretly lower their heads, they will inevitably put themselves Imagine becoming Guo Jia's second, and one day, like those "God of Medicine, God of War, Raksha Dragon King" in the later generations, unleash the power of the jaw, fully open the aura, and then shock everyone, but when they raised their heads , I had to put on a flattering smile again, nodding and bowing like a chrysanthemum swaying in the wind.

  Guo Jia turned around the corridor and saw Xun Yu sitting alone in the hall, he became more and more angry.

"Are you crazy? ! 』

  Guo Jia almost stuck to Xun Yu's face, "You actually went to talk to the lord about spring plowing?" ! 』

  『Otherwise, who will say it? ’ Xun Yu pushed Guo Jia away calmly.

  『Then you can’t go! ”Guo Jia waved his sleeves, “Anyone can call anyone to go, anyway, if you die, you will die, and you can be regarded as doing your duty…”

  『Bong Xiao. ”Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia, “Speak carefully. 』

  『Hmmm…』 Guo Jia sat down angrily, 『Okay, I take back what I just said…』

After being silent for a while, Xun Yu said slowly, "Spring plowing can't be delayed anymore... In the past two years, we have been fighting everywhere, plus snowstorms, droughts, and insect plagues. Even in rich lands, the output is less than half. If this year... Therefore, no matter what, if the family, the country and the community are the most important thing, we must go all out to spring plowing to protect the crops...』

  Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right! You are right! very true! But... But Wen Ruo, have you ever thought about why no one realizes the importance of spring plowing when there are so many people everywhere? Doesn't anyone think that Zhuanghe needs to be protected? If they don't know, are these people stupid? If they already know, why don't these people say it? ! Even...then don't care about anything, what do you care about? ! 』

   Xun Yu couldn't help but patted the table, "Guo Fengxiao! 』

  Guo Jia shrank her neck, and sat down again sullenly, with a straight face.

  The mountains in the distance gradually receded from the bleakness of winter, and now they are light green and dark black.

  In the nearby courtyard, one or two small green buds tentatively popped out from the branches, which seemed to bring some spring breath.

  Deep baritone…

  Uh, we got crossed.

   It was Xun Yu's voice that sounded from the side, "Gou benefit the country, life and death are for it..."

"Hi! 』Guo Jia was speechless, could only be angry, but gave Xun Yu a pityful look, then shook his head, closed his eyes, and sighed again.

   After a long time, Guo Jia shook his sleeves and stood up, "Don't worry, I want to drink!" drink! 』

  Xun Yu watched Guo Jia staggering away, watched Guo Jia's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, and finally closed his eyes, almost sighing for the unknown.

   Presumably the fact that I exhorted Cao Cao to pay attention to spring plowing has spread throughout Xu County, and it may have spread to Yuzhou and Jizhou, but Guo Jia was the only one who came to him in the end...

  Big fellow...

  One hall.

   A table.

one person.

  Xun Yu raised his head, the long belt on his Jinxian crown fluttered slightly in the wind, his face was as calm as water, neither sad nor happy.

  …(╯︵╰)…

  Chang'an.

  Dahan Hushi Mansion.

  It’s time to pay food, uh, homework.

  Actually, at this time, Fei Qian will feel that it is cool to assign homework for a while, and then correct the homework...

  That’s why later generations who are honest will correct their children’s homework obediently, and those old ones, hehe, who only have time to study whether the relationship between teachers and students is legal and compliant, how can they have time to take care of homework?

Because the topics Fei Qian arranged were originally similar to seminars, there is no so-called standard answer, so there is no right or wrong in the strict sense, as long as you can say something and make sense, it is considered good.

  But when Fei Qian saw the article submitted by Sima Yi, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Sima Yi.

  Sima Yi lowered his head and sat upright.

"hehe…"

   After reading Sima Yi's article, Fei Qian didn't immediately express any opinion or comment on it. He just held it in his hand, patted it lightly, and then smiled.

  Because of the influence of later generations, Fei Qian's perception of Sima Yi was limited to a certain extent, and he thought that Sima Yi should be a relatively stubborn defender of the interests of the gentry, but now it seems that there may be a little change.

  Is this change a good thing or a bad thing?

   Fei Qian is not very clear, perhaps only after a period of time can he become more clear.

  Fei Qian looked at Sima Yi again, and then handed Sima Yi's article to Pang Tong, "Shiyuan might as well read it..."

  Pang Tong took the article, looked at Sima Yi slightly sideways, and then unfolded it, "...When I saw the hussars, I ordered the ministers to write about the changes of the Spring and Autumn Period and explain the reasons for the changes. I am stupid..."

  『Pick the key point...』 Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong.

  Pang Tong hummed, then moved his eyeballs up and down quickly, and gurgled quickly, then stopped suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and looked up at Sima Yi.

  The other people present followed Pang Tong and turned their attention to Sima Yi.

  Sima Yi lowered his eyes and remained motionless.

  『Um, cough cough...』Pang Tong cleared his throat, "... Zhong Ni wrote the book, annotated the Spring and Autumn Annals, discussed Yao and Shun, and the events of the three generations in great detail. However, he seldom talks about the five virtues, and also avoids yin and yang ghosts and gods. If the five virtues are a major event in Zhengshuo, wouldn't it be obvious? The old minister thought that there was nothing to say about the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties...』

  As soon as the fat man's voice fell, there was an uproar.

  「Oh heh…」

  『Hiss…』

   Fei Qian stretched out his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.

  『...In the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a saying that "October's frost kills the bean", and there is another saying that February is "free of ice". As far as the law of Qin, the tenth month is regarded as righteousness, do not follow the time of the day, only seek its virtue, do not pursue the pure way, and seek false fame directly. If you go up, you will be cruel to the sky, and if you are below, you will be arrogant to others, and then you will mess up the false and poor. , Each has his own theory, but he doesn't know what to follow. It is necessary to distinguish the traces of chaos, and it is necessary to understand the upright way. Stupidity is not enough for a subject to learn, but I only wish to attract jade from other mountains...』

"...China is orthodox. It can be said that "the gentleman lives in the right place", and it can also be said that "the king is unified." Therefore, it can be known that the upright is to correct the injustice of the world, and the unifying is to unite the inconsistency of the world. and also. The injustice of the world and the inconsistency of the four seas are just like the states in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are chaos and strife, the people's livelihood is poor, and the people are in dire straits. This is what a gentleman can't bear. 』

  『...The legend of Yao and Shun, the three dynasties, each has its own reasons, or for the sake of justice, or for righteousness, or for calming chaos, or for calming the eight wastes. Therefore, it can be seen that there is no virtue to be practiced, and only to be virtuous is practiced...”

  『...Therefore, although there is a correct name, there is no correct conduct, and there is nothing to do in the end. There are those who live in its integrity but cannot unite the world, such as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty; there are those who rule the world but cannot pass on its integrity, such as the former Qin Dynasty. The five virtues have always been, life and restraint are governed by others, Qin perishes and Han succeeds, kings and thieves are born again, Guangwu revives, this is a serious discussion...』

  『...If heaven has five virtues, how could it be such a trifling matter? If the way of heaven is permanent, how can it be changed at will? 』

  As soon as Pang Tong finished speaking, there was an uproar, and everyone controlled the flames of gossip that they didn't know about themselves, raging and chattering.

The five virtues in Chinese history seem to be simple five elements and five colors, but they have actually influenced the changes in Chinese politics for thousands of years. One virtue is against one color, gold is against white, wood is against green, water is against black, and fire is To red, tude to yellow. The five elements generate and restrain each other, and end and begin again, and the law of heaven reincarnates.

Then everyone who claims to be a king or emperor, or who tries to be a king or emperor, will first claim that he, or the people he commands, is a new "virtue" that can restrain the old dynasty, even before he succeeds, I couldn't wait to change the color and carry out the so-called "color revolution".

   Zhou was the virtue of fire, Qin Shihuang said he was the virtue of water, and the corresponding color of water virtue was black, so the entire Great Qin Empire became the "Matrix".

  Pang Tong's voice continued...

  『If the theory of the five virtues is true, then it must have been used in the former Qin Dynasty. The color is still black, and the flags are black everywhere. At the beginning of the new year, the courts and congratulations are all ice and snow. The tenth month is the square, and the number is six. The talismans and crowns are all six inches. , it is true that everything is based on six, and everywhere is black, but what? After 15 years of unifying the world, the world will be in chaos and morality will be lost. Is the color not dark enough? Is the law less than six? 』

  Fei Qian suddenly felt like laughing, if those salted fish in later generations who only know how to shout six six six, I am afraid that they would be able to get along well in the Qin Dynasty...

The starting point of "Five Virtues Always Talking" was the Yellow Emperor, and then it started at that time, and then Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin were respectively wood, metal, fire, and water. According to this "regular rotation of the five virtues", Logically speaking, the Han Dynasty changed the fate of the Qin Dynasty, so it was Tu Keshui, and the Han Dynasty should be Tu De. But Liu Bang thinks that the black emperor has no soil virtues, but water virtues, so the system still follows the old system of the Qin Dynasty. The official recognition of Tude by the Han Dynasty was realized only a hundred years later by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty...

   Then the big man turned into a piece of yellow.

   Then the big man uses five or five baht for everything, and even the characters on the official seal are five characters at most.

   After all, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty killed his father, the life of his ancestors?

  At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne and established a new dynasty. Since he was a peaceful revolutionist, he obtained the throne through the method of abdication, which is different from the way of violent revolution in the past, so the "Five Virtues Always Talking" is relatively difficult for him.

But this did not bother Wang Mang. Liu Xin, his colleague when he was the servant of the Huangmen, creatively put forward a theory of "five virtues coexist" for him, that is, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. . From then on, the five virtues can be restrained, can be born, or can't be born. Anyway, the word "five virtues" is written on it in a big way, and then in an unnoticed corner, there is a line Small print, "The right to explain the above belongs to..."

Since Wang Mang used the five virtues to talk about things, then Liu Xiu was not polite, so he took advantage of this and used it as a career signboard to restore the great man, saying that Wang Mang's gold was the gold of the nine yin emptiness, and Liu Xiu's own fire was the Tiangang True Fire...

   Well, this is what Shushan said. Anyway, in the end Liu Xiu became the emperor of Huode, and the color of the whole Han Dynasty turned red again.

  In the Han Dynasty, there were water virtues for a while, earth virtues for a while, and fire virtues for a while, which further shows that this so-called "five virtues" interpretation is actually completely controlled by human beings, not God's will.

Then came the Yellow Turban Uprising, which is supposed to be a violent revolution. According to the theory of the five elements restraining each other, it should be water virtue, and the color should be black. He felt that Huang Tian was more imposing, so he wanted to build a world of Yellow. The revolutionary program "Taiping Jing" at that time stated that "the Eastern Han Dynasty was the king of Huode, the fate of the Han Dynasty declined, and those who prospered in place of the Han Dynasty should be Tude." ’ Zhang Jiao, the leader of the uprising, called himself “Huang Tian” to show that he would inherit Han Zuo and rule the world. But unfortunately, his Great Yellow Dynasty was not established. On the contrary, it was in Cao Pi's time that Zhang Jiao's last wish was fulfilled.

   And then did not last long.

  So, Cao Pi and Zhang Jiao are in the same group?

…

  『...Xia replaced Yanhuang, because of his virtue? If Yanhuang has no virtue, how can he be called a saint? Then the Eastern Zhou Dynasty followed the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period was chaotic, the Jin Dynasty was divided into three, and finally the Qin Dynasty ruled the world. Because Qin was close to Zhou and against Zhou? Is it Shunde, is it Nike? Since ancient times, the prosperity of a king must have great virtue to receive the destiny, or his merits will be given to the living people, or he will gradually become a king through the accumulation of generations. How can it be called a virtue? 』

  Pang Tong paused for a while, looked at Sima Yi, and then finished the last sentence, "Therefore, the five virtues are always the same, it is a fallacy!" 』

  …Σ(дlll)…

   Jizhou.

   Yecheng.

  After the new year, the government office gradually lifted the official seal and began to go to work.

  As the most important cook in Jizhou, Cui Yan, who is a working soul, of course cannot say that he just stays in his own home and lies down. He must work hard as a representative of officials...

   At least on the surface it should be.

After all, there are many places in Jizhou now. Because of the previous incident, the number of officials has been greatly reduced, so that the entire political affairs are almost at a standstill. Whether it is people's livelihood or water conservancy, litigation or punishment, everything is like a schedule in a computer. is suspended.

  Thus, the affairs in the Yecheng government office are even more complicated...

  However, Cui Yan is still calm and orderly. After a day of fishing, wrong, it was a day of struggle, Cui Yan was on time, got off work on time, and returned to his residence.

  『Cui Gong! 』

  Li Pan lifted his robe slightly, and walked quickly, his face was full of excitement, "Cui Gong! Great joy, great joy! 』

  Cui Yan coughed, slightly expressing his dissatisfaction with Li Pan's erratic behavior, then glanced at Li Pan, a slight strangeness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Why do you like it?" 』

  Li Pan didn’t notice Cui Yan’s change, he was just immersed in joy, looked left and right, then suppressed his excitement, stretched his head, and said in a very low voice: “Cao Gong… ordered… spring plowing…”

For Li Pan and others, the pressure Cao Cao put on before was naturally quite great, and from a certain point of view, they also had some contacts with those big families who were arrested and killed. If they were said to be rebels, Injustice or not? Now that Cao Cao has issued an edict saying that all regions should pay close attention to spring plowing and temporarily rest in prison, it actually means that the turmoil will stop for the time being, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief...

  Cao Cao is scared!

  The guy who was originally a big killer, but who used one against five was persuaded!

  He retreated, and our spring water was saved!

  Uh, it’s probably like this anyway.

   This is naturally a good and happy event for the big noble families in Jizhou.

  "Cui Gong..." Li Pan gritted his teeth slightly, and the muscles next to his cheeks twitched twice, "Now that...the matter of spring plowing...is it possible..."

  Cui Yan thought for a while, then shook his head.

  Li Pan opened his eyes slightly.

   Cui Yan said: "If you don't dare, you must." Presumably, it was not Mr. Cao's original wish to urge spring plowing. If... wouldn't it be falling into his arms? 』

  Li Pan nodded, but frowned and said: "If..."

  Cui Yan smiled lightly, and said: "There is a saying in the poem, "The people are born to be good, and there are things. There are rules. The people's love is Yide"..."

  Everyone is familiar with this poem, at least it is the basic skill of the children of the gentry. If someone does not know where it came from and what it is about, they will be thrown aside immediately and handed over a few pieces of mud by the way.

  "Cui Gong's meaning..." Li Pan's eyes flashed with some sinister colors.

Cui Yan smiled and said, "..."People also have words, if you are soft, you will talk about it, and if you are hard, you will spit it out. Wei Zhongshanfu, soft is not soft, and hard is not spitting. Don't insult the widow, and don't be afraid of the strong." ...so, get it? 』

  Li Pan nodded again and again, with a look of admiration on his face, "Understood!" Understood! Let's do it! Let's do it! 』

  Cui Yan nodded slightly, and then watched Li Pan walk away, the smile on his face gradually froze.

  I have just received the news, and Li Pan arrived on the back foot, which shows that Li Pan's news channel...

  This is somewhat interesting.

  It seems that even if I do this, there are still some people who do not regard themselves as the leader of Jizhou!

   These short-sighted guys!

  Cui Yan couldn't help feeling a little angry, but the smile on his face remained the same.

  『Sooner or later... hum...』
