Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2509 Why are rules rules?

   Chang'an, Qinglong Temple.

  『The gentleman said, learning is beyond the limit. Guan Ning raised his arms and called out, "What's more, the ancient sages are like this, how can people today not surpass them?" ! Green is taken from blue, and green is from blue; ice is made from water, and colder than water. Time, the years change, the world, the wind and the cloud are moving! Those who stick to the rules, don't think about being powerful, and expect to follow the world with one law, are useless! 』

In the past two days, Guan Ning established his reputation by virtue of his successful commentary on the filial piety, and his voice on funerals. As more and more people gathered here to listen to him explain the meaning of the scriptures, Distinguishing the truth gradually made Guan Ning one of the representatives of the new generation.

   Of course, behind this, there is also Lu Yu and Wang Kai's support. In such an occasion, Lu Yu's expressive ability is actually not as good as Guan Ning's. In Lu Yu's last debate with Wang Chang, Lu Yu also discovered his shortcoming, and Wang Kai, better than Lu Yu Yu is even worse, it's just that she looks good. It can't be said that all of her stomach is grass, but most of it is.

  So Guan Ning was in the front, Lu Yu was in support, and Wang Kai was in charge of logistics, forming a relatively stable small team that played their respective strengths and attracted the attention of some people who participated in the Qinglong Temple Discussion.

   Some people think that what Guan Ning said is right.

   Others found that Guan Ning's team did a good job, and wondered if they should also form a team to learn from it?

  As for those who are purely watching the excitement and think that the excitement over there is the soul of fun going there, they are responsible for cheering and booing to set off the atmosphere...

  The small vendors on the outskirts of Qinglong Temple are also smiling all day long. The wind and frost covered their faces, and the fireworks eroded their hands and feet, but they still smiled, sincere and mellow.

  『Old Tiantou, hey, it’s almost sold out again? Good business? Ding Zhuang, who was in charge of patrolling, came over, stretched his head to look, and said with a smile.

  Old Tian quickly scooped out the noodles for another guest, prepared the sauce, and said, "Thanks to you... Are you tired?" Come sit here and I'll cook you a bowl? The saozi was prepared yesterday! It smells so good! 』

  Ding Zhuang waved his hand and said, "I'm on duty here...see you, see you..."

   After speaking, Ding Zhuang didn't stay long, and greeted several other vendors, and then pointed out that some vendors didn't pay attention to hygienic splashes or dripping stains, and asked them to clean up immediately.

   A diner wearing a gray robe sitting inside ate a few mouthfuls of soup cakes, stretched out his thumbs and praised the craftsmanship of the old Tiantou, which immediately caused the old Tiantou to smile.

  『I see this...』 The gray-clothed diner slightly pointed at the young man with his chopsticks.

"That's right, how dare you..." Without new customers, the old Tiantou didn't mind chatting with the gray-clothed diners, and said in a low voice, "I have received them before, and there are still a few waves... But a few days ago, the catcher Live in one and guess what? Right in front of it, it was stripped off and boarded on the spot... Tsk tsk tsk, **** and bloody, I'm afraid he lost half his life! How much money can I collect for black money? Is it worth it to take Half-Life into it? Later, I became more honest, no one dared to mess around, not even dared to eat or drink...』

   The diner in gray nodded, "There must be some rules..."

  Old Tiantou nodded, "Yes, that's right, the rules... Ah, this guest officer, what do you want to eat?" Take a look at my new work of meat noises! Fragrant and ruthless! 』

Seeing that the old Tiantou went to solicit business again, the gray-clothed diner smiled, bowed his head and started to eat, and after a while, he ate a bowl of noodles to the bottom, then wiped his mouth, and took it from his arms. He took out two copper coins and put them on the table, "I left the money!" 』

  『Are you ready to eat? 』Old Tiantou kept his hands in his hands, 『Guest officer, please go slowly! 』

  The grey-clothed diner walked out of the shabby food shed, and then slowly moved forward with his hands behind his back. Passed through the long sidewalk, passed the small square, and then saw Guan Ning who was preaching.

   Just as he was about to go up to listen to what Guan Ning was saying, a person next to him stopped in front of the diners in gray clothes, hesitating for a moment, "Kan...Director Kan? 』

  Grey-clothed diners, Kan Ze turned his head and saw Wang Chang, "Well, you're here too?" 』

  Wang Chang pointed to Guan Ning and Lu Yu, "Lu Langjun, I am my friend... I have free time today, so come and have a look..."

   Kan Ze looked at Wang Chang, who was also in casual clothes, smiled, nodded, said a few more gossips, and said goodbye to each other, and went their separate ways.

"It's still abiding by the rules..." Kan Ze took out a small notebook, and then took out a brush, wrote a few words, put it back in his arms, and then slowly put his hands behind his back in Qinglong's hand. Wander around the temple.

  If it wasn't for someone familiar, no one would have guessed that this simple and honest man in a cheap cloth robe turned out to be the famous Director of Youwen Department...

  The flow of people is surging.

   came with new topics one after another.

Unknowingly, in Qinglong Temple, following the success of Guan Ning and others, there have been many prototypes of other teams, those with mutual interests, those with the same opinion, combined with each other to complement each other, and began to have division of labor and collaboration stand up.

As the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, which was abandoned by the Eastern Han Dynasty for decades and hundreds of years, in the process of Feiqian's rise in vain, as a brand new force of the Han Dynasty, it does not have a deep foundation. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as an outbreak type of account.

   At least for a while when Fidget started to develop, most people thought so. Even after Guanzhong became rich in the mid-term, many people still think that being rich is nothing, and look down on people like Fei Qian. But now, with the reputation of Qinglong Temple becoming more and more famous, more and more people are participating. The transformation from economics to cultural advantages made many children of the Shandong gentry bow their heads.

  At least in the current Han Dynasty, there are still some cultural people who pay attention to culture, not money, and when the cultural people of a dynasty are all running for money, they often have no culture.

  …(╯︵╰)…

  Almost at the same time, in Xu County, Emperor Liu Xie also had to bow his head.

  Liu Xie knew in his heart that the one who could really make a decision on this piece of land was not himself, but the person standing in front of him, Cao Cao.

   Liu Xie's attitude towards the world is also in the process of constant change.

   As the lord of the world, Liu Xie is indeed a bit less domineering, especially in front of Cao Cao. Although Liu Xie is taller than Cao Cao, it makes people feel that Liu Xie is shorter than Cao Cao.

  『Your Majesty, what should happen if someone breaks the rules? ’ Cao Cao said slowly.

   Liu Xie took a deep breath, "What kind of rules? Is it the rule of the great man, or... the rule of the prime minister? 』

  Cao Cao smiled, as if seeing a kitten showing its majesty with its teeth and claws, "Rules are rules. If the rules of the world and His Majesty are separated, then there will be courtiers and common people, and then there will be men and women, maybe there will be rules for pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and then there will be no rules... 』

  『…』 Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao, 『What are the rules? 』

  『It is an agreement. ’Cao Cao also looked at Liu Xie, ‘It’s a human agreement. 』

  『Agreement? 』Liu Xie frowned.

  『Three chapters of the agreement. Cao Cao sighed softly, "This is the rule." 』

  『But…』 Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, but didn't finish.

"Farmers make an agreement with the land to work hard in exchange for the growth of crops. Herdsmen make an agreement with their livestock to take good care of them in exchange for flesh and blood..." Cao Cao said slowly, "Soldiers made an agreement with the battlefield to fight bravely and gain merit...Officials and the court Church promises, be diligent and upright, and shepherd the people... That's right, that's the problem, what if someone... doesn't keep the promise, doesn't follow the rules? 』

   Liu Xie: "..."

  『Hehe, does Your Majesty think that humble ministers are the ones with bad manners? Cao Cao burst out laughing suddenly, his voice resounded through the entire hall, "It's a pity, the minister is the one who upholds the rules!" If it weren't for the minister to abide by this rule here, the world does not know how many people have become kings and how many people have usurped the Han! 』

  『If someone wants to break the rules, why bother today? Cao Cao laughed, "Your Majesty, do you think so?" 』

   Liu Xie was stunned and speechless.

"Now I want to find those who broke the rules..." Cao Cao slowly closed his smile, and said slowly, "But some people don't want to...Thousands of obstacles, all kinds of designs...These people who broke the rules People, His Majesty knows it, humble ministers know it, all officials know it, even the common people know it... But some people think that breaking the rules is actually a kind of rules? 』

  『The minister once set up colorful sticks at the north gate of Luoyang! Kill those who make mistakes..." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking at the pictures of the past, "Then someone taught the ministers the rules... It depends on the person to make a mistake. If someone makes a mistake, it is not called a mistake. He will be dismissed and suspended for two years." God, even if you can come out to be an official again, how can you beat him to death with a stick? What does His Majesty think of this rule...? 』

"The minister was in Jinan, and when he saw corruption, he was captured and killed. The people celebrated..." Cao Cao glanced at Liu Xie, and there seemed to be some indescribable meaning in his eyes, "Then someone said yes. The humble official is overstepping, killing high officials without authorization, breaking the rules, only the court Sanhuai, with His Majesty's personal permission, can take and kill...except for the humble minister Jinan...』

"Later, when I became the captain of Xiyuan, I saw that the army was all old and weak, all the equipment was old and decayed, the soldiers' pay was delayed, the training was neglected, and a certain trouble came to the emperor's place," Cao Cao laughed, "and someone said, This is the rule... all the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are like this, and the forbidden army in the world is like this...』

  『Excuse me, Your Majesty, is this rule...good or bad? Do you want it, or don't you want it? 』

   Not knowing why, Liu Xie felt somewhat flustered.

   After a while, Cao Cao spoke again.

"Your Majesty, I once admired the culture of Yingchuan. I know that there is an emperor's hometown, which is prosperous and prosperous. Everyone, hehe... can learn and be educated, which is where the top of the great man..." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, as if Talking about a fact is like talking about a tragic situation, "But now, I find that this emperor's hometown is prosperous and prosperous, only a few people are rich, and this culture is at its peak, but it is only the peak of prevarication and deceit..."

  『It is the most important thing for the country to harvest the autumn Fu in the court, but these thieves deliberately destroy Zhuanghe! 』

  『Moreover, the blame for the damage to the Zhuanghe was all blamed on the farmers and women! Accusing farmers and women of stealing, raping, playing tricks, disobeying orders, and causing Zhuanghe to be destroyed! 』

  『Using the name of the court to arrest farmers and women arbitrarily, triggering civil uprisings, but they don’t want to comfort them, and even instigate soldiers in counties and counties to suppress them! 』

  『Gain because food is cheap, there is no profit! Because the minister wants to establish rules! 』

  『Hehe, in fact... It’s not a low price or no profit, but it’s a thousand times worse than a high price? 』

  『There is no food in the official warehouse, and parity is empty talk! However, in the private warehouses, there are countless people who sell, some sell a thousand dollars for a stone, some sell three thousand dollars, and some sell five thousand dollars! So what is the government doing? It is to join forces to sell those who sell five thousand dollars, and arrest all those who sell thousands of dollars and three thousand dollars! Only those who save five thousand dollars! 』

  『The common people are suffering, and the people are full of emotions. These corrupt officials kill thousands of dollars, three thousand dollars, and complain to the common people, but then sell the grain and grass to people with five thousand dollars, and the profits they get...」

  『This is the current rule of the Imperial Village...』

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xie, "Now that the minister is investigating corruption, destroying his fortress, and confiscating his home, some people come crying, saying that his crime is not worthy of death, and that the old and young in the family are all innocent. How pitiful are the women and children... dare to ask Your Majesty, are all the people guilty? Just deserve this misfortune? When the family is broken up, the wives are separated, and the family is destroyed, have these crying people ever shed tears and speak for them? 』

  『The majestic man, there are only natural disasters, in fact, not many people will die, only man-made disasters will die with bones exposed in the wild, and there will be no rooster crowing for thousands of miles! 』

  『Your Majesty, the current rules...is it good or not? Do you want it, or don't you want it? 』

  …(〃dish`)q…

  The other side.

   Jiangdong.

  When Zhou Yu walked into the back yard, the sound of the guzheng was still ringing. He walked up the small building and entered the exquisite room. Xiao Qiao was stroking the strings of the zither in front of the window, and then smiled softly at him.

  He sat down on the other side of the table, closed his eyes and listened to the woman playing.

  『Wrong play...』

  Xiao Qiao wrinkled her nose, stopped her hands, "I can't remember this paragraph..."

  Zhou Yu smiled, then took the guzheng, after a moment of pondering, the section that Xiao Qiao played before started playing again.

  The melody flows like water.

  Xiao Qiao looked at the man in front of him obsessively. Even though the years seemed to be more tolerant to him, Fengshuang ruthlessly and quietly changed some of his beard, hair and eyebrows.

  When the soft melody like flowing water stopped, Zhou Yu opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Qiao, "Remember? 』

  『I forgot again...』 Xiao Qiao laughed, 『I came to see you...』

  Zhou Yu laughed loudly, "Then I don't care, you can practice on your own." 』

   After a while, Xiao Qiao gently stroked the zither strings, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, husband?" 』

  Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Jiangdong...is going to be in chaos..."

  Xiao Qiao's smile froze.

  …╭(╯^╰)╮…

  Huge school field.

   Banners that cover the sky and block out the sun.

   In front of the school field is a high platform, and Sun Lang strode towards the high platform.

  Under the high platform, there are more than a dozen Jiangdong officials who were tied up.

   Strong winds blow across the school grounds.

  Flags and flags are buzzing and clouds are rolling.

  『Someone followed his father and fought in the battlefield, in Luoyang, in Yuzhou, in Jingzhou, in Yangzhou! ’Sun Lang, who somewhat resembles Sun Jian, is dressed in a military uniform, ‘For the sake of the Sun family, he will not care about life and death, and is not afraid of hardships! but! A certain person was imprisoned in Wangjiang Terrace for no reason! Being bullied, day after day, year after year! 』

  Something seemed to erupt from Sun Lang's body, stirring on the school field.

  『The rules of the Sun family are rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerits! ’Sun Lang shouted in a deep voice, ‘A certain person followed his father to fight north and south, conquering the battlefield, did he have any merit? If it is meritorious, why is it imprisoned by someone? If so, where is the past? ! Here today, I just want an explanation! Are there any rules of the Sun family? Do you want it! Now this Jiangdong, what are the rules? Is it like a child's play, if you say you have merit, you will have merit, and if you say you have done it, you will have it? Or is it just like these cruel officials in the audience, the merits and demerits are between their knives and pens? ! 』

  Sun Lang waved his arm, and immediately someone opened all the boxes that were originally placed on the stage, and then poured them down, onto the little officials who were **** under the stage.

  The heavy gold and silver shone dazzlingly, shaking in the air, falling, and clanging.

  『Everyone who also followed my father back then! Do you know how the money in front of you came from? They were all copied from the homes of these people! 』

  『This money, tens of thousands of money, how much salary do they have? no! It's all searched! 』

  『You sweat and bleed, risk your life, even if you are injured or dead, the gains are nothing compared to these silverfish's slight strokes of knives and pens! 』

  『What kind of rule is this? ! 』

  『I ask you, what kind of morals and rules is this? !

  The wind blew across the high platform, Sun Lang spread his hands in the wind, and growled loudly, "Today, I will take you to ask this world, this world, this Jiangdong, what is the rule!" 』

  『Go and ask what the **** rules are! 』

  …(σ｀д′)σ…

Guanzhong.

   Qinglong Temple became more and more lively.

  The students arguing with each other on the street spat at each other with red faces, while the gorgeously dressed Michelle above the restaurant played the piano slowly and unaffected by the sound of the quarrel.

  The fallen leaves on the tree fluttered down, and then were crushed on the stone slab by the wheels of the marching caravan.

  The wild geese who had caught up with the late game honked a little impatiently in the sky, trying their best to hurry.

   Hussar General Fei Qian was sitting leaning in front of the window reading a book, holding a cup of hot tea.

  Pang Tong happily commented on something in the writing, then habitually stuffed the tip of the pen into his mouth and licked it before continuing to write.

  Zaozhi stood in front of the granary, with some nervousness and anticipation, watching the busy clerks who were transporting and measuring the grain and grass from Zhuanghe.

   Zhen Mi was making the final handover at the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, and then walked out. When she reached the door, Zhen Mi stopped for a moment, looked up at the nameplate of the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, then immediately raised her head and walked forward proudly. From this moment on, she has basically no connection with the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, and has become a female official in politics.

  In the dark hut, Zhen Mi's clan brother had already been released, but because of the loss of money, he had to bow down here, cursing impotently and furiously, with confused language, like a lunatic who has lost everything.

  Several inspectors rushed into the tavern on the street, pulled the drunken barbarian out of the tavern, and put his head in the water tank used for fire prevention on the street. The drunken barbarian was choked to the point of thrashing on the water surface of the tank, and was pulled out after a while, coughing and collapsing on the ground, feeling a little more sober and frightened.

  『Are you a Qiang? Huns? Or Xianbei people? ’ An inspector squatted in front of the barbarians, and changed several languages, ‘It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, you will understand when the time comes...drinking and making trouble, fine two thousand, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, we have labor camps...Take them away ! 』

  Outside the city, inside the manor of Mr. Shui Jing.

  Sima Hui wrote a good picture, and waited for himself to dry in the autumn wind, then sat there, and told the servants around him, "This picture is not bad, I will frame it later." 』

  The sun shines in, the autumn wind strokes the paper, and some ink marks that are not dry reveal the writing——

  『There are no rules, no rules. 』

   Cao Cao’s classic sentence, I think it is also good to use here.
