Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 294 People can't help themselves in the Han Dynasty

   Two days later.

  Fei Qian returned to Luoyang, whether it was public or private, Fei Qian went to find Cai Yong first.

   "This matter..." Cai Yong shook his head after hearing Fei Qian tell the whole thing about Hangu Pass, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

Of course, Cai Yong could guess what the situation of the yellow scarf bandit that suddenly appeared in Hangu Pass was, but his own identity was very embarrassing. He belonged to the Shandong gentry, Chenliu people, and was also promoted by Dong Zhuo, so He can understand many things, but it's not easy to say them out.

  Looking at Master Cai Yong's expression, Fei Qian could guess a thing or two about Cai Yong's thoughts, but for him, the Hangu Pass this time is simply extremely dangerous.

Fei Qian can't forget, the feeling that the hairs stand on end from head to toe, the blood in the whole body seems to be frozen, the heart feels like being pinched tightly, death is so close, it seems that you can feel it. It's as if the **** of death's breath is sprayed on his own neck...

  Although the Shandong gentry did not target themselves, the fact is that they almost caused their own death.

  A person was almost forced to a dead end, almost decapitated, and if someone turned his head and said, this matter is a misunderstanding, let’s forget it like this...

  Can it count?

hehe!

   Until now, Fei Qian can never forget that pair of cloudy eyeballs like dead fish, and the warm blood splashing on his hands and body...

  Watching books and movies in later generations, people often sigh that people are in the arena and cannot help themselves.

   And on that night full of flames, I really realized what it means to be in the Han Dynasty and not be able to control yourself.

  Especially after the dawn of the next day, after seeing the bloody, mutilated and twisted corpses, and the black charcoal that was burned and huddled together on Dongxi Avenue...

  I never imagined that a living person could shrink to such a small size after being burned to death. That smell makes me want to vomit every time I smell meat.

Fei Qian felt that he should be grateful to Zheng Chu, and the Zheng Chu soldiers who died under his command. If it wasn't for the fire that forced him to be cornered by the posthouse, if it wasn't for the light of the knife that almost cut off all his vitality , I was really blinded by some of the achievements in front of me.

I have come from an inconspicuous branch of Fiji to today, in the eyes of others, it seems to be very remarkable. It turns out that I once thought so, thinking that I can use my own mind to be able to do a job with ease between the two forces , both ways, not only to save Master Cai Yong's fate, but also to get more benefits from it.

  Thinking about it now, it was really too simple.

   I can only say that I am not strong enough, even if I have the title of Cai Yong's disciple, even if I am married to the Jingxiang gentry, even if I have the status of Zuo Shilang, but in the eyes of those people, I am still like a bug.

   At best it is a slightly bigger bug...

   If you want to get rid of the fate like a bug, you must truly master your own power!

Fei Qian was silent for a while, bowed his head to Cai Yong, and said: "Gao Tao called Yu, the king has nine virtues. Broad and chestnut, soft and standing, wishing and respectful, chaotic and respectful, disturbing and resolute, straight and gentle, simple And Lian, rigid but strong, strong and righteous. Those who have the nine virtues will manifest their perseverance, and their words and deeds are auspicious! Dare I ask the master, is there anyone in the court who has the nine virtues?"

  Gao Tao was a sage in the Dayu period. At that time, he, Yao, Shun, and Yu were called the Four Sages of Ancient Times. At that time, he proposed the Nine Virtues as a monarch. Although there were other new descriptions of the Nine Virtues in Zuo Zhuan later, Gao Tao was indeed the first to propose the Nine Virtues standard.

  Cai Yong shook his head.

Feiqian went on to say: "In the past, Weizi asked his teacher, and he said that Yinfu was in disorder, addicted to alcohol, ruined his virtues, thieves and traitors, judges and teachers are not punished, and those who are guilty will be rewarded forever, and the small people will flourish. If you are an enemy, if you are wading in a big water, you will have no limit. Now I also have a question, let me go crazy, or is it inferior to Huang?"

  Cai Yong was silent.

Fei Qian said again: "Uncle Yu said foolishly, if a gentleman does not plan, a scholar can die, but if he speaks, he will do it, and his neighbors will all die. The people of Lu want not to kill their children. Ask Zhong Ni, and Zhong Ni can tell you. Because From time to time, it is formed by events, the meaning of the model, the symbol of the ritual, how can you stick to the rules?"

  Cai Yong let out a sigh, pointed at Fei Qian with his finger, and said, "Ziyuan has improved a lot in his knowledge!"

  It turns out that the allusions cited by Cai Feiqian just now are no longer limited to Zuo Zhuan, but involve Shangshu and Book of Rites, and there are some connections between them.

First of all, it is not a good situation where the so-called virtuous nations come to congratulate the court, and then it is said that in a bad situation, even the elder brother Wei Zi, who is King Zhou, is helpless. The person who pays the most attention to etiquette agrees to a thing that destroys etiquette to expound a concept—

  Teacher, this imperial court no longer pays attention to benevolence, morality and law. When encountering such a situation, even the emperor's elder brother will stare blankly. There is no way, let alone people like us who have no right to speak?

  The true meaning of etiquette is to judge the situation and the situation. Even Zhong Ni himself thinks this way. Your principles and persistence should not be rigidly adhered to the rules...

  Cai Yong shook his head, smiled, and said: "Your knowledge can be regarded as a doctor!"

  The doctor Cai Yong mentioned is not a specific official position, but a scholar-bureaucrat. Scholar-officials, as the name suggests, there are scholars first, and then there are officials.

  Scholar-bureaucrats are a distinctive social class that emerged from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Different from the old aristocrats, the scholar-bureaucrats put more emphasis on "scholar", that is, knowledge.

  Especially after respecting Confucianism alone, this has also become an unwritten rule among the officials of the Han Dynasty. People who do not understand the scriptures cannot serve as officials in the court, and at most they can only serve as local officials.

  Those who don’t know the scriptures cannot be called scholars, but they can’t find people who support their opinions from the scriptures just by reading the scriptures, and they can’t persuade others when discussing politics in the court.

  So court officials have very high requirements for the background of scriptures, and ordinary people are not qualified.

   Therefore, Cai Yong's evaluation of Fei Qian is quite high, which means that Fei Qian has now met the prerequisites for becoming a scholar-bureaucrat.

Hey! Father! Your ability to change the subject is also superb!

   Feiqian is inevitably a little depressed, how about playing without it?

Being in the Han Dynasty, one must abide by the rules of the Han Dynasty. Master Cai Yong’s identity is there, and this kind of thing can’t be said directly. It took a lot of effort to find some examples to prove it, but was interrupted by Master Cai Yong. It's really dumbfounding to digress a thousand miles.

  Cai Yong didn't understand the meaning of Fei Qian's words, but he hadn't fully thought about this matter yet, so naturally he couldn't give a definite answer.

In fact, Fei Qian didn't notice that Cai Yong's originally insisted concept has been somewhat shaken after he seized every opportunity and persuaded him again and again. He won't be talking about him like he is now...

   A woman asked, what kind of book is Guan Erye holding?

   The answer is: Chunqiu Zuo Zhuan.

   The woman asked again: Then why did Second Master Guan blush?

   Keke...
