Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2366 Sudden collapse

   Chang'an has already had two snowfalls.

  The first snow was relatively light, and it seemed to pass without much feeling.

  The second snowfall was much heavier, covering Chang'an with a thick layer of silver armor.

  Fei Qian wore a red cloak and walked slowly into Weiyang Palace.

  Before entering the gate of Weiyang Palace, a soldier rushed up from behind and handed Fei Qian a note to the guard. The guard took it and passed it to Fei Qian.

   Feiqian opened it, glanced down, then put it away, and continued to walk forward.

   Weiyang Palace was built by Liu Bang, and then Liu Bang died in Changle Palace. When he died, I don’t know if he had any thoughts about Weiyang Palace. Then Weiyang Palace flourished during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

  The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

In the Weiyang Palace in its heyday, the front hall was the main hall of the former court, which was located in the middle of Weiyang Palace. It was built according to the terrain of Longshouyuan and gradually rose to the north. Ceremonies and activities are all held in the front hall, including but not limited to enthronement, edicts, weddings, court visits, funerals...

   Now, Fei Qian squinted at Liu Zhen of the Shaofu Central Palace Department who was in charge of the repair work of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace.

   Liu Zhen is a guy with a big name, but he doesn't do things very well.

   No, the heavy snow crushed the Qingliang Hall in Weiyang Palace!

  In such a cold weather, there are still some beads of sweat on Liu Zhen's forehead. He wipes it secretly when Fei Qian is not paying attention, and then wipes it again after a while.

The front hall complex of Weiyang Palace is fairly well-maintained. After all, it is the "face" of Weiyang Palace. After the snow has been cleared from the middle of the road, there are not many weeds and broken bricks. The guardrail of the high platform of the front hall is considered complete. Fei Qian turned a little around to look around, and his complexion improved a little, which also made Liu Zhen breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Zhen was originally not under Fei Qian, but in Liu Biao's arms at first, but isn't Liu Biao getting old, then he can't do anything, well, the main reason is that Liu Biao's control power has declined in the later stage. I killed some guys who pretended to be famous and messed up, including Liu Zhen's friend Liu Wang.

   Liu Yan was afraid of being implicated, so he fled. He originally wanted to go to Xu County, but it turned out that Xu County was captured by Fei Qian's soldiers, or he turned around and went to Fei Qian...

  After all, Liu Zhen and Sima Hui also had some connections back then.

Fei Qian was only famous for people like Liu Zhen, but people with less actual ability didn't catch a cold, so he didn't take it seriously, because of Sima Hui's face, and considering that Liu Zhen was originally in Liu Biao. They were also responsible for similar projects there, so Liu Zhen was sent here to be responsible for the daily construction and maintenance of Weiyang Palace.

   Now it is obvious that fame is of no use. Fame is not considered when the palace collapses.

   Turning around the front hall, you will arrive at the apse complex of Weiyang Palace.

   Among the apse clusters of Weiyang Palace, the most famous one is Jiaofang Hall. It's just that until now, there are only broken eaves and broken walls left in the Jiaofang Hall, which has been roughly surrounded and has not been completely restored.

   This is something that can’t be helped. At that time, Wang Mang’s Weiyang Palace was on fire, and then it was almost repaired. After Dong Zhuo’s death, Chang’an was in chaos again, and Weiyang Palace did not escape, and it was on fire again...

Especially in the folk rumors, in the apse of Weiyang Palace, there are all kinds of treasures of the big man, not necessarily property, even if it is the pepper mud from the Jiaofang Palace, the bronze mirror from the Zhaoyang Palace, etc. The fragrant wood in the Feiyan Palace is a good thing that can make the mother-in-law stronger in giving birth to a son and more beautiful in giving birth to a daughter...

  So during times of chaos, things in Weiyang Palace, especially those in the apse, suffered a lot. Just like the bricks of the Leifeng Pagoda in the later generations, if it is not surrounded, no matter whether there is any magical power to suppress demons, it will be cleaned up one day at a time...

Liu Zhen was young and felt very ambitious. As a result, it was as if he was sent to repair the palace complex that obviously did not receive much attention. At the beginning, he might have felt that he had to do some business, but after a long time, he would slack off. up.

  Qingliang Hall is located in the apse group, which originally corresponded to the Greenhouse Hall.

  When the weather was cold, the emperor would go to the greenhouse hall to keep warm for the winter, and when it was hot, he would naturally stay in the Qingliang Hall. According to the folklore among the residents, the entire palace of Qingliang Palace is made of crystal, and there are various colored glazes. The treasures of the Western Regions are piled up in the palace for the emperor to play while escaping the summer heat...

  But in fact, the Qingliang Hall is just because it has been specially hollowed out, and the windows are ventilated. There is no such thing as crystal glass.

   It is precisely because the structure of Qingliang Hall is relatively transparent and there are few weighing walls. As a result, it has been in disrepair for a long time, and Liu Zhen didn't notice it in time, and now it has collapsed under the weight of heavy snow.

   This is quite embarrassing.

Although the current Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace in Chang'an are just projects for face, and there is not much practical value, face is still needed after all, just like the basic use value of luxury goods and ordinary utensils in later generations is similar. Snow Goose Like the white duck, it can keep warm, but there are still people who are willing to bleed for the added value. In the Han Dynasty, many people stared at the face of the royal family.

  Fei sneaked in front of the collapsed Qingliang Temple and checked the situation at the scene.

  From a certain point of view, this cannot be said to be entirely Liu Zhen's fault. After all, Qingliang Hall had been in disrepair for a long time before Liu Zhen, and it was damaged during the war.

   Liu Zhen's biggest problem is that he didn't find out in time and was negligent in inspections.

  The loss cannot be completely blamed on Liu Zhen, but if he was negligent, he didn't run away.

  『Gong Si…』

   Fei Qian put his hands behind his back, and said in a neutral tone.

   Liu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his head and bowed his waist, as if a small employee saw the chairman, "The minister is here." 』

  『Why did you fail to inspect in time? ’ Fei Qian asked slowly.

  Liu Zhen raised his head as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and lowered his head again, "I am guilty... I am on duty privately. I have been lingering in Qinglong Temple for many days and failed to make inspections in time..."

   Fei Qian nodded slightly.

   This is basically the same as the result of Fei Qian's previous investigation.

   Liu Zhen was indeed dereliction of duty, but fortunately Liu Zhen did not cover up his mistake and then made a second mistake.

   Qinglong Temple is indeed very lively recently.

  Dahan currently has very few entertainment items, so that the "salon" model similar to later generations has become a lively entertainment venue for the current organizing committee of Qinglong Temple.

  The talk in the Jin Dynasty was somewhat similar to "Salon", but it was still dominated by men. It was not until the Song Dynasty that women were the hosts of the "Salon" and invited celebrities to participate...

  Why it is said that the current Qinglong Temple is somewhat similar to the "Salon" of later generations, because this time it was Xin Xianying who set off an activity similar to the "Salon" in Qinglong Temple.

  Xin Xianying is getting older and approaching the age of marriage, so the "salon" hosted by her has more or less the taste of choosing a husband-in-law. Although Xin Xianying's current age is still in the range of three years in the eyes of later generations, but in the current Han Dynasty, it is not far from the marriage and childbearing line of most Han Dynasty women.

In fact, to some extent, the marriage age of noble women is relatively later, and not all of them are like Zhang Fei who likes to grab lolita, but most common people, especially the lowest-level people, the marriage age of women They are almost stuck on the red line, and the poorer the area, the more so.

  On the one hand, it is state taxation. The rulers of the feudal era knew about the demographic dividend a long time ago, so it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing for the people at the grassroots level to have more children.

  The second aspect is because of poverty. Some poor families don’t even have clothes, and children can still run around naked, but after the little girl grows up, she can’t still run around naked, and it’s obviously not worthwhile to stay locked in the room. A kind of inevitability.

  Liu Zhen is about twenty years old, so it is normal to be attracted by the "Salon" hosted by Xin Xianying. Whether it's for people, or for talking about things, so that I linger and forget to return, staying in Qinglong Temple and forgetting my daily work.

  『What is Qinglong Temple talking about now? ’ Fei Qian asked as people began to clear the snow from the landslide.

  The snow is quite deep, and it will take some time to clean it up.

  Liu Zhen bowed his head and replied: "On whether the pre-Qin burning of books and burying Confucianism is true or not..."

"Ok? ’ Fei Qian froze for a moment.

   During this period of time, Fei Qian has been paying attention to the changes in Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu, and has not focused on Qinglong Temple, so naturally he does not know about the topic that has become popular.

  Is this question...

In fact, this matter of burning books and burying Confucianism was discussed by Fei Qian more than once with Pang Tong, and even Zheng Xuan and others before the current discussion in Qinglong Temple. He didn't bring up this conclusion, but Xin Xianying made it the topic of the "salon" at the moment.

   This makes some sense.

  Fei Qian thought it was a discussion of some common scriptures, but he didn't expect it to be such a "special" topic. "Burning books and pitting Confucianism", the cognition of this issue is almost accompanied by Fei Qian's growth step by step, and there will be some different cognitions like going up a step, looking back at intervals.

  When Qin Shihuang first implemented the policy, maybe he didn't expect that it would collapse in the second generation?

  Although it is said that because of the Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu affairs, Fei Qian did not pay attention there for the time being, but if it becomes lively, it will definitely attract Fei Qian's attention.

so…

  Did Xin Xianying figure out this topic by herself, or did someone think it up for her? Does Xin Xianying know the crux of this topic, what exactly is it?

  『Do you have any theory? ’ Fei Qian asked Liu Zhen.

  Liu Zhen looked up at Fei Qian, then lowered his head and said: "I think...the burning of books by the Qin Dynasty may be there, and the cheating of Confucianism may be fake..."

   Fei Qian was noncommittal, "Tell me..."

"When I was young, I studied the Five Classics, and there were often discussions. Qin burned the Five Classics and killed Confucian scholars. The family of the Five Classics also heard about it... The teacher of the minister, I often sighed, feeling that if there was no burning of Qin books, there would be no need for classics. Such dispersal and loss of knowledge, Shangshu didn’t have to be in the early Han Dynasty to have Fusheng’s dictation and the learning of modern texts to be recorded...” Liu Zhen said slowly, and then took a peek at Feiqian, as if checking Feiqian to judge whether he should continue talking or not.

  Fei Qian is now more and more used to this kind of speculation and observation from various aspects, so he nodded slightly expressionlessly, motioning for Liu Zhen to continue.

   This in itself is a definite fact.

  Qin Shihuang did have a decree to collect books from various countries. This is not to blame Qin Shihuang, but Qin Shihuang collected books from various countries not to say that the winter is cold and to light the fire, but to castrate the cultural spirit of each country.

   To be precise, to rule. After all, among the Six Nations, most of the knowledgeable people are the nobles of the Six Nations.

After the great unification of the country is completed, it is natural to need a great unification on the spiritual level, and the scriptures of various schools in various countries have different content and words, and even because of the hatred for Qin after the country's subjugation, it will also be entrained in it. In the literature of various schools.

Faced with such a situation, confiscating books from various countries has become an almost "inevitable" choice. Qin Shihuang did this, the Han Dynasty also did it, and Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties did it all. The only difference is that Qin Er Shi Tai What's the matter, I haven't waited for a volume similar to "Siku Quanshu" to be published.

   Even Fei Qian is secretly starting to do this...

  Why be sneaky, because once you make a big splash, it will bring more feather arrows to the silverfish below, and these feather arrows sometimes not only fail to promote progress in certain directions, but may even have the opposite effect.

   Whether Qin Shihuang confiscated or burned books, it was for political needs, so it cannot be said that the old Yingtou was wronged at this point.

"The person who gave me the Book of Poems is the master of Nanyang County, named Chun Weng. He also said that Qin burned "Poems" and "Books", and killed literature. The people complained about his laws, and the whole world..." Liu Zhen said in a low voice, "Old Minister I thought that burning books should be done, and Qin was proud of burning the world's poems and books, especially the historical records of the princes. Therefore, Jia Gong said, "The King of Qin has a greedy heart, and acts of self-improvement wisdom. He does not believe in heroes, and is not close to the people. He abolishes the king's way and establishes private love. 』

  『However, cheating Confucianism... Maybe it is fake. If so, why didn’t Jia Gong say anything, and there is no record in Taishi? ”Liu Zhen continued, “The things that were said to deceive Confucianism may be detailed or omitted, but they have not been seen in the texts of the early Han Dynasty...”

Next, Liu Zhen began to quote scriptures, saying that those people killed by Qin Shihuang happened in the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang. Evading punishment and fleeing one after another, Qin Shihuang's anger and prosecution were aroused, which eventually led to the murder of hundreds of Fang Warlocks.

   Fei Qian turned his head slightly and looked at Liu Zhen.

  Fei Qian originally thought that Liu Zhen was not capable, so he didn't pay much attention to Liu Zhen's situation. Now it seems that it was a negligence of Fei Qian.

   There is no such thing as a complete waste, it just depends on where this person is placed.

  Fei Qian agrees with Liu Zhen's idea.

The reflection of the Han Dynasty on the Qin Dynasty is a kind of political correctness, and it is also what the ruling class should have done. Why did a huge empire collapse in just a dozen years? What kind of mistakes did they make? Qin's mistakes, this is a question that every person at the top of the Han Dynasty must think about, and find some answers from it, which is represented by Jia Yi's "On Passing Qin".

   This was originally a good thing, a lesson learned from the past.

  However, not everyone is willing to think independently...

  Some lazy people, or people with ulterior motives, will simply do the opposite.

The Qin Dynasty failed, so everything in the Qin Dynasty was wrong, and as long as it was the opposite of the Qin Dynasty, it was correct. The dynasty wiped out the countries, and then the Han dynasty enfeoffed the countries. The Qin dynasty emphasized laws, and the Han dynasty paid attention to human relationships. more hidden dangers.

From the reign of Emperor Wu, Confucian scholars began to deviate from the thought of passing Qin, and embarked on a road of black Qin as political correctness. Confucian scholars denied everything about Qin and regarded it as the source of all evils, and the Qin Dynasty was at the same time the Zhou Dynasty. Destroyers and destroyers, so advocating Zhou rituals, paying attention to advocating Zhou kings and Zhou politics, has become an extremely correct thing.

  Especially Dong Zhongshu, in order to put gold on the face of Confucian scholars, created Confucianism into a defender of Zhou rituals, or a martyr of Zhou politics...

  In the establishment or propaganda of any religious denomination, there will always be some martyrs.

  The martyrs of Confucianism, or the models of the early martyrs, are these Confucian scholars who were "pit"...

   This is actually not a big problem, and exaggeration is not only done by Confucianism, but the problem is that Confucianism is trying to solidify the class during this process.

  Starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this kind of anti-Qin remarks became more and more mysterious. Now, when a lie has been told thousands of times, it has become a certain degree of truth.

   Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin, pondering. Is the topic Xin Xianying brought up this time really for discussion, or for seeking a son-in-law, or for some other purpose?

In Liu Zhen's narration, the initial cleaning work of Qingliang Temple was completed, and the master craftsman of Huang's family who followed Feiqian got into the half-collapsed Qingliang Temple and finished his investigation, walked out, and reported to Feiqian damaged condition.

  The girders of the Qingliang Hall broke due to decay and could not withstand the heavy snow.

  Beside Liu Zhen, his complexion recovered from what he had just told about Qinglong Temple, turned pale again.

"This is the residence of the heavenly family. If there is an emperor in the palace, this is a matter of life and death..." Fei Qian pointed to the collapsed Qingliang Palace, "If this is the case, it should be a crime of "disqualification"... 』

   "Abolition of the grid" is a crime in the Han Dynasty, which refers to the behavior of subjects who violate, prevent or fail to implement the emperor's edict, and the punishment is extremely severe. Once it is the crime of "disqualification", it will be cut in half, or it will be beheaded and abandoned, or it will be death anyway.

  Liu Zhen almost sat down on the snow, trembling all over his body...

  『However...the damage to the Qingliang Palace will take some time to be determined...』 Fei Qian looked at Liu Zhen, "Before you are convicted... there is one thing, if you do something good, you may be able to absolve your guilt..."

   Liu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, prostrated himself on the ground, "My lord please give me instructions!" The guilty minister will surely die! 』
