Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 390 Wei has a gentleman, his country has no reason

  The morning sun shines into the house through the window lintel,

  Although the house is not big, the inside of the house is exceptionally clean and tidy, and there is not much furniture placed, just one table, one seat and one incense stick, that's all.

It's just that the desk table is painted with high-quality red lacquer, and the lacquer surface is smooth and flat, like a mirror surface, you can judge people's shadows; Aromatherapy is even more delicate, consisting of upper and lower parts, the upper part is composed of three layers of budding lotus petal patterns, each row of lotus has eleven petals, and each petal is engraved with flower stems of different sizes, which is very clear. There is an exquisite bird on the top of the cover, standing tall and graceful, overlooking the distance. The lower part is a cylindrical hollow pillar, which is vivid in shape and simple and natural. At this time, curling green smoke is rising, filling the whole room with depression fragrance.

  On the red-lacquered table, there are some yarrows spread out, no more, no less, exactly fifty, which is exactly the number of Dayan.

  The ancients liked to use yarrow, mostly because they believed that this grass would not dry up through the years, and it could communicate with the gods.

It was once said: "The yarrow grows and dies in the Yin Dynasty for a thousand years. At the age of one hundred, there are forty-nine stems, which can bear the number of heaven and earth. At the age of five hundred, the shape gradually becomes dry and solid. At the age of seven hundred, there are no branches and leaves, and at the age of nine hundred. Purple as the color of iron, with a thousand years of purple air above it, and a spirit dragon, tortoise and dragon lying down below."

  Thus, people in the Han Dynasty all used yarrow, which was highly valued for its solid color and deep color. If it can really have purple air lingering, it is simply a superior artifact, and it can be used for divination without any inaccuracy...

  The yarrow on the table, although there is no so-called purple lingering, but the color is very deep, and it is probably often rubbed and used, each one is very shiny and warm.

  Wei Ji was still dressed in white, and he closed his eyes and knelt behind the table, calm and calm, with neither sad nor happy expression on his face, and a long breath.

Suddenly, Wei Ji stretched out his hands, first took out a yarrow from the table, and put it aside, then lightly flicked the yarrow with the back of his hand, and immediately split the yarrow into two. One portion, and then took a piece of yarrow from the right hand and sandwiched it between the little fingers of the left hand, and the rest was quartered, and the first transformation was carried out very quickly...

  Next is the second change...

  Three changes form a line, and six lines form a hexagram.

  The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any stagnation at all. It is obvious that Wei Ji has often done this six-line class, and he is extremely proficient.

  The six lines have been completed, and the hexagrams have come out.

   Gen up and down.

  Youfu, Yuanji, Wugui, Kezhen.

   This is the second time Wei Ji divination this hexagram in the past few days...

   At this moment, the light outside the house flickered, and an old man walked in slowly.

   Wei Ji quickly put down the yarrow in his hand, and stood with his hands down.

  Although the old man is old and has gray hair between his temples, he has a strong figure and a rosy complexion. Although he is wearing a long coat, he has a mighty air in his actions.

   "My nephew never greeted me far away, and I hope my uncle will forgive me." Wei Jiao cupped his hands and bowed.

   "No, I got up in the morning and sat quietly, so I came here because I was restless." Uncle Wei Ji motioned Wei Ji to sit down, and said slowly.

   Feeling restless...

   Wei Ke is silent. The old uncle will be like this, Wei Ji can naturally understand, if it is anyone who encounters such a big event, no matter how stable the character is, it will inevitably be weighed in his heart, not to mention that it is not a person involved, but a family man of.

  But the present opportunity is indeed too attractive.

Wei Ji knew what the old uncle wanted to ask when he came over. After all, his uncle was not the same as his father, at least he didn't understand it when he was making some preparations, and he didn't know why he did this thing, so when he knew the situation , although it is not possible to oppose the decision of his brother, the Patriarch of the Wei family, but it is inevitable that there will be some difficulties in his heart.

After all, when Wei Ji just arrived in Linfen yesterday, he had a brief interview in the evening, and the meaning expressed may not be fully in place, so the old man deliberately came early in the morning, and he did not hesitate to come here in person, of course not just to be with him. Wei Ke said something like "I'm in a bad mood this morning".

"The lords of the world, the Wei family is the last." Wei Ke was silent for a while, and while putting the yarrows back into the box one by one, he said slowly, since the uncle did not hesitate to come in person instead of summoning him, it is also the same. This kind of expression of importance, naturally Wei Ke himself simply spoke more directly and clearly.

  Uncle Wei Ji turned his head slightly when he heard the words, and stared closely at his nephew: "What do you mean?"

  As soon as this sentence came out, it became very clear that the old uncle's problem was not that he didn't understand what Wei Ke was talking about, but this matter...

  My nephew has such a big heart!

  Guo Wei, a vassal state during the Zhou Dynasty, was established by Kang Shu, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou.

  At the beginning, Weiguo was still an important pillar of the Zhou Dynasty, and even helped the Zhou Dynasty put down the Ronghu. It was once strong and became one of the powerful leaders of the princes.

But any powerful country seems to start to decline from within. The extravagant and extravagant Wei Yigong was weakened by frequent civil strife, was broken by the Di people, Wei also lost the country, and then re-established the country in Chuqiu before it survived. Since then it has been reduced to a small country.

  After entering the Warring States Period, Wei had already declined and was trapped between Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Chu.

  However, such a small country has never been abolished. Even after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he still did not capture Wei, and it was not completely destroyed until Qin II.

  Therefore, the state of Wei was the last prince to be destroyed during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period.

  The Wei surname, after Wei was destroyed by Qin, the noble descendants of Wei took the country name "Wei" or "Kang" as their surname. Ji Zi once said: "There are gentlemen in Wei, but the country has no reason."

   "This time is not that time." Uncle Wei Ji said.

   Wei Ji put the last yarrow in the box, closed the lid, and said lightly, "What's the difference?"

  Uncle Wei Ke was stunned, and trembled his beard, but he didn't say anything, but was thoughtful.

   Wei Ji gently pushed the box to the side of the table, and said with a smile: "The tripod was lost in the past, but the handle is lost now; there used to be Han, Zhao, Wei and Jin; now there are two Yuans and Yangs occupying the north and the south; what's the difference?"

The old man was surprised at first, but this surprised expression didn't last long, and soon he became calm and peaceful at the end, and said: "Fat and fat, but has bones, so it's easy to eat? If you are impatient, take it instead. I lost my dish."

  In the final analysis, the sense of honor and degree of recognition that people of the Wei family have in their hearts for the surname "Wei" will not be much worse than that of the current world-renowned families like the Yuan family and the Yang family. The old man's tone didn't seem to be objecting, but rather reminding—

  Now there are too many bones here. If you want to eat it, don’t put your own pot in it...

  Wei Jiao nodded, expressing his gratitude to his uncle for his kindness and reminding him: "Take the strategy of disrupting the army first, and then fish in troubled waters. Now that one bone has been removed, just pick the other two..."

  The old man took a deep breath and said, "Only two bones?"

   "It's actually a blade, not a broken bone." Wei Jiao lightly brushed the white clothes on his body, as if doing this was like brushing off the dust on the clothes.

   "...Who holds the blade?"

   "My nephew is about to say goodbye to his uncle."

  Uncle Wei Ke was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "It's not right! You stay here, the matter of holding the blade...I'd better take a trip, old man! I haven't galloped for a long time, and I have a lot of meat."

   "Uncle!" Wei Ji blinked and said, "How dare my nephew work hard for my uncle?"

   I didn't see my uncle snorting and said, "That's not the case, why did you come to Linfen?"

  Being exposed by the old man, Wei Ji didn't take it seriously, so he got up and went to his uncle, and bowed firmly, "So, I will leave it to my uncle!"

   "Hahaha..." The old man looked up to the sky and smiled, and didn't help his guard, just nodded like that, got up and walked out, "I have been practicing martial arts all my life, I never thought that I would have something to do with the old man, so happy, so happy!"

   Just when the old man was about to go out, he suddenly paused and asked, "...what is the divination?"

   "...Gen up and down."

   "Is there any change?" Uncle Wei Ji asked.

   "This hexagram remains unchanged."

   "...Li Youyou to... Shan Ye... Shan Ye..." Uncle Wei Ji laughed again and strode away.

   Do you feel that after every general in the Three Kingdoms was captured, he didn't kneel down, but even pretended to be aggressive, and he would do whatever he wanted to do! !

   As a result, they were all respected by others, and they untied the shackles with their own hands, and put them on with a big cloak...

   Those who shouted for mercy are dead...

   However, the same is true for civil servants and lobbyists when they go to foreign countries. They can speak eloquently and make the other party turn pale. They also ask, how many people are there in your country who are as talented as you...

   At this time, the lobbyists said, huh, I'm just a scumbag, my country is much better than me...

   Actually historically mostly the opposite...

   Those on the military side are basically caught and killed if they don’t surrender, and they have nothing to say.

   Only those on the civil service side, after all, the gentry are too involved, and sometimes they have to consider whether there is any connection with their own side. Killing is too troublesome, so the reason of "not beheading to use" is also used to deal with it...

   So, Cao Jili's true love for Guan Er...
