Three Kingdoms

   Chapter 1291 Scripture

  The white and slender fingers on the green Qi gently pressed down, and the beautiful melody fluttered, and finally bloomed again in this small courtyard pavilion that had been silent for a long time.

   Fei Qian sat, looked up at the sky slightly, and then sighed softly. Although he was reluctant to leave Pingyang so soon, the problem was that some problems had to be resolved. Being able to fight all the way out of the **** wind, Fei Qian has enough majesty and murderous aura at the moment, but in front of Cai Yan, he has never shown these ferocious sides.

"There is no news from the Xiongnu. I am planning to go to Yinshan Mountain while the spring plowing is just beginning... After two days, I will set off when I am ready..." Fei Qian listened, and then in the middle of the rhythm When, said slowly.

   "Hun?" Cai Yan stopped her hand involuntarily. If she hadn't had a very high attainment in temperament, it would be impossible to say that this emotional fluctuation would cause the strings to break. After all, most of the strings in the Han Dynasty are made of silk. If you play too much, it will not only easily fluff up, but also will be broken if you are not careful.

"Before I captured Huchuquan, I sent people to Yinshan Mountain..." Fei Qian said slowly, "According to the itinerary, it is enough for a round trip, but so far I haven't received any news... Although There are Ma Xiaowei and others in Yinshan, but I am still a little worried..."

The mobilization and assembly of an army cannot be completed as soon as it is completed. Although Yu Fuluo did not do anything about General Hu Chuquan, under the supervision of Yinshan Ma Yue and others, he did not do anything out of the ordinary. The danger is not great, but it cannot be taken lightly, otherwise the capsizing in the gutter may not be staged.

  Yu Fuluo is obviously hesitating, but the problem is also hesitating. Fei Qian doesn't know why Yu Fuluo is hesitating?

  Yin Mountain is also an important horse breeding ground and training ground, and will become a relatively qualified granary in the future, so it cannot be left alone.

"The south can generally be kept quiet for a while... and the west and east can also be put aside temporarily, so we can only have time to look at the things in the north now..." Fei Qian smiled, with some bitterness , said, "I am a person who wants to be free but often finds it hard to be free. I guess I only have to run around..."

   After Fei Qian finished speaking, Cai Yan also fell silent, not knowing what to say.

"Senior Sister should come out and walk around, and you can't stay bored..." Fei Qian continued, "I have already given You Ruo about the manpower and supplies, and he will be ready. If you need anything, you can also ask someone to go. Just go to him and ask for it... I also told Uncle Kong about the academy. He has been in the academy for a long time, and he is familiar with the situation. If you encounter anything that is inconvenient for you to come forward, you can also ask him. ..."

"...Junior brother doesn't have to think too much about me...I know..." Cai Yan smiled softly, and then said, "Junior brother travels long distances, and there are many military affairs...Although I know that junior brother is always cautious in these aspects, but Still need to be more careful…”

   Fei Qian nodded.

  Cai Yan stretched out his hand and plucked the strings a few times, and said, "I don't have anything to give to my younger brother, so I will play another song for my younger brother. I hope my younger brother will return home soon..."

Cai Yan gently rubbed and pressed the strings with catkins, sometimes slipping, sometimes picking lightly, the sound of the piano is like pearls rolling in the jade plate, and it is like the clear and beautiful stream flowing down from the mountain jumping between the stones , Washing away the boredom in my heart.

   When the song was over, Fei Qian was silent for a moment, then stood up, looked at Cai Yan, nodded, and said goodbye without saying anything.

  Cai Yan stood up, her lips, which were as pink as peach blossoms, trembled slightly twice, as if she had something to say, but in the end she didn't say a word. Cai Yan followed the steady pace of Fei Qian out of the corridor and out of the courtyard, until he disappeared from sight, his originally erect shoulders and waist seemed to loosen, he took a long breath, and slowly Spit it out and close your eyes.

Cai Yan stood blankly in the pavilion for a while, listening to the sound of the wind passing over the treetops, seemed to be saying something unknown, and only after a while did he call out: "Bong Shu... Will Lu Qi Take it away... bring me some more books..."

   "Yes, Miss." The personal servant girl turned out from behind the pavilion with the book, and asked while tidying up Luqi on the table, "Then, what book do you want to bring for Miss?"

   "The Book of Songs..." Cai Yan thought for a moment, then said immediately.

  After all, The Book of Songs is from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is also the earliest subject of poetry in China. Many things are even before Confucius and Mencius, and can even be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. Since we want to trace the source, let’s start from the earliest literature...

  Feng Shu replied, and then quickly packed up, first caged Luqi into the brocade bag, and then carried it back in small steps, and came back with a few scrolls soon after.

Cai Yan watched quietly, unknowingly merged the Fengshu in front of her eyes with the one in her memory. When Fengshu was still young, he entered the Cai Mansion with small hands and feet, without even a slap The scroll is big, and the scroll on the bamboo slips and wooden trellis is heavy, so it can only be held in the ring, so it is called Fengshu...

   "Bong Shu..." Cai Yan suddenly asked softly, "You...do you think of your parents..."

  Fengshu paused for a moment, then blinked, shook his head and smiled, "Mother, I can't remember..."

  Cai Yan lowered her head quietly, and after a while, she walked over slowly, took Fengshu's hand, then hugged Fengshu, without saying anything.

   "...Xiao Niang..." Feng Shu's face was in Cai Yan's arms, and his voice was muffled.

   After a long time, the two separated, and both smiled embarrassedly.

Cai Yan sat down again at the table, then casually picked up the Book of Songs brought by Fengshu, spread it out, glanced up and down a few times, then suddenly froze for a moment, her cherry lips fluttered slightly, and could not help but recite softly :

   "The prosperity of the son, wait for me to come to the lane, regret not giving it away..."

  ………………

  Pingyang’s Political Affairs Hall.

  The Zhengshitang seems to be extremely lively no matter what time of day it is. It's not that it's noisy, let alone yelling in this kind of place, even if it is louder, it will immediately attract the vigilant eyes of the guards on both sides.

But the flow of people here is really large, so the movement can't be kept quiet. The officials and officials who come and go are holding the writing in their hands, and their faces are full of "my matter is the most urgent, and my matter is the most important". .

   "...Brother Xun, what should we do with this matter..." Linghu Shao scratched his scalp with some headaches, and said frowningly in the midst of the constant flow of officials, "I don't know what the king means...cough cough..."

   Seeing someone approaching again, Linghu Shao coughed twice and shut up.

  Spring plowing has begun.

  Near Pingyang, as the winter snow subsided, the officials in charge of various affairs began to rush around again, and Xun Chen, the chief steward of Pingyang, was naturally busy for a while. Cattle farming, manpower deployment, urging production, coordinating localities, etc., the flow of writing and officials poured into Xun Chen's place, and then flowed out again as if turning a corner here...

Under such circumstances, Xun Chen could still focus on two things. He glanced up and down at the newly sent text, and then wrote a few more questions. After writing a few words, he handed it over to the waiting officials. , the official took it quickly, bowed his hands to Xun Chen and Linghu Shao, took a few steps back, and left the political affairs hall.

Linghu Shao was also a little helpless, Cai Yong's death really had a big impact, but he thought that Fei Qian would not leave Pingyang so soon, so Linghu Shao was not in such a hurry at first, but he didn't want Fei Qian to send troops north in the blink of an eye , Linghu Shao suddenly lost his mind.

The average life expectancy of ordinary Han people is over forty years old. Although Cai Yong died in a military disaster, on the other hand, he was also over sixty years old. He is going to be seventy years old. Although it is a pity, it is inevitable. But birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life, who can avoid it?

Linghu Shao almost fainted from grief on the day of Cai Yong's accident, but after all, he is also a son of a noble family, and he is not too young. Many relatives and relatives, so after the initial heartache, gradually recovered as time went by, and took the position of Grand Priest to handle the affairs of the academy.

  As for Fei Qian and Cai Yan, Linghu Shao is already old, how could he not see it?

   But the problem is that Cai Yan is not an ordinary person. If the status is lower, like the daughter of the Pei family, it will be easy to handle, anyway, not many people will pay attention.

  Although the current matter about Cai Yan, at least during the period when Fei was lurking in Pingyang, many people kept silent. Since the Yang family invaded the school last year, there was actually a lot of discussion about this matter in Pingyang, but in the end, Zhao Shang was beheaded for public display. On the surface, he was accused of hiding military resources, voodoo, etc., but in fact it was because of something. In general, someone can guess it.

   In this matter, there is no difference between the ancients of China and the later generations. It is also a cultural inheritance and leisure mode in the workplace to secretly discuss the leadership's upper three ways and lower three ways. However, most people basically hold an understanding attitude when dealing with this matter. Of course, Fei Qian's method of dealing with Zhao Shang may not be brilliant, but whoever is placed in that position may not be able to do better decided to come.

  Xun Chen turned his head to look at Linghu Shao, frowned and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to signal the attendant to wait for the officials to come in, expressing his willingness to chat with Linghu Shao for five baht.

"Brother Xun..." Linghu Shao pinched the beard on his chin and said, "It's his job to order someone to take care of the academy, but it's also about the young lady of the Cai family being a female doctor... this matter, tsk... please Brother Xun teach me..."

   "Hmm. What's wrong?" Xun Chen may have been dealing with official business continuously, and he was somewhat tired, so he picked up the water bowl, took a sip, and then said lazily.

Linghu Shao glanced at Xun Chen and said, "It's okay to be a female doctor... But after hearing the king's wishes, the young lady of the Cai family will come out to give lectures and compile scriptures. This... scriptures have been passed down from ancient times to the present, and have been passed down several times. It is normal to revise intermittently and have many ambiguities... Monarchs want to follow the example of Xiping Stone Classics and rebuild Pingyang Stone Classics. Go on and on... If the young lady of the Cai family presides over this matter, the rest is easy to talk about, conflicts over scriptures are inevitable..."

  Linghu Shao's words are already very euphemistic. Women in the Han Dynasty didn't mind showing their faces very much, and there were no rigid requirements in this regard, but after Cai Yan became a doctor of court ladies, she presided over the compilation and revision of scriptures, which meant that she had to meet many other men, even Arguing with each other, does Fei Qian really not mind, or is there another arrangement?

   This is what Linghu Shao figured out. At present, the power of Fei Qian, the general who is conquering the west, is becoming more and more powerful, so it has become a compulsory course for the officials under him to gradually learn to figure out Fei Qian's mind.

"The world is so stupid..." Xun Chen said slowly, "The writings of sages also seek to eliminate ignorance and darkness, and find the way of light... For hundreds of thousands of years, it is better to teach people to see things, but the scriptures are different. Don't pay attention to the merits of the eyes. Zi Gong redeems people, don't reward them, he thinks he is a gentleman, Confucius disagrees, saying that Zi Gong's actions are harmful to the country, and he needs to repay grievances directly, and repay virtue with virtue. Therefore, the words of the world, the theory of the countryside, Most of them are thieves of virtue. The so-called morality is based on the way to have virtue, and it is also its reason..."

   Xun Chen is not a fool, how could he tell Linghu Shao how to do this matter? It's pretty good to be able to say that.

   "Brother Xun's meaning..." Linghu Shao frowned. Xun Chen suddenly talked about a long list of principles, and Linghu Shao believed that it must not be just talking in general terms.

  Who is Zigong talking about? Are you talking about me? I guessed what Fei Qian meant, just like Zi Gong guessed what Confucius meant, but I would end up doing something wrong?

   Repay grievances with honesty, and reward virtues with kindness? The theory of the countryside, morality? What did Xun Chen mean?

  Linghu Shao pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, bowed his hands towards Xun Chen and said, "Well, I know...Thank you, Brother Xun..."

Xun Chen nodded, and while asking his attendants to summon the next official who was waiting to handle matters, he said to himself as if to Linghu Shao: "My lord has a big heart, he is tolerant of all rivers, and encompasses the whole world. We should encourage you!" , work hard and strive hard.”

"I would like to be taught." Linghu Shao bowed his hands again, and then said goodbye to Xun Chen, turned around, took a long breath, nodded to the oncoming officials, said hello, and slowly Slowly out of the political affairs hall.

Xun Chen took the text delivered by the official and unfolded it, while listening to the official's brief narration, he took the time to look up at Linghu Shao's back, saw him walking straight and confidently under the sun, and nodded slightly , lowered his eyes, and refocused his attention on the matter at hand...
