Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 694 Goodness is great

A formal banquet in the Han Dynasty usually starts at sunrise, with tea first, and some snacks such as dried fruits for chatting. When it is midday, it is officially started, and then dishes are served one after another, singing and laughing. , more or less will invite some dancers and musicians to add to the fun, and even the host and the guests will come to the venue to dance and sing, which is not a big new thing. A paragraph, and then the guests, under the leadership of the attendants, either go to small gatherings, or go to the high-rise rooms in the side rooms. Anyway, the sporadic snacks and drinks will continue to be supplied, and sometimes because of the large number of people, it will start with a flowing banquet, and then it will last day and night. , singing and laughing without stopping.

  Of course, these things are only aimed at the gentry, but for ordinary people, I am afraid that being able to eat a soup and cake banquet with a large piece of meat is quite luxurious and enough to talk about for a long time.

  The lower the level of people, the lower the focus of attention. This is instinct and a kind of helplessness.

  It’s like only small citizens and ordinary people will greet each other if they have eaten, regardless of time and place, because for people living at the bottom, it is considered happiness to have a stutter.

   Relatively, when have you ever seen a head of state say that he has eaten when he meets each other?

   At that level, what to eat is a secondary issue, and the important things are often outside the food...

   It's like the banquet hosted by the Wang family for Yang Zan.

   It doesn't matter whether you eat fish or sheep, what matters is those potential things.

In the study in the backyard of the Wang family, Wang Jing paid respects to Mrs. Wang, raised his forehead and raised his hands. Although he had maintained this kneeling motion for more than ten breaths, without Mrs. Wang's order, Wang Jing dared not even move. .

  Wrapped in mink fur, Mrs. Wang is extremely thin, with two eyes sunken deep in the eye sockets that look like skeletons, like candles swaying in the wind, which may go out at any time.

  The old man Wang of the Wang family has been sick for many years. Many people think that this old man will not live long. It seems that the old man Wang will fall down at any time, but unfortunately, he has not fallen down yet...

   As long as they don't fall down, they are the backbone of the Wang family, and even the backbone of the entire Taiyuan gentry.

   "Yang Jiazi, um..." Mrs. Wang's voice was hoarse and low, like the sound of cutting hardwood with a saw, "...if it works, it will not be in vain..."

  One or two hundred years ago, Shangdang was a vassal of Taiyuan, acting as the responsibility of guarding the southern gate of Taiyuan, but now Shangdang wants to become independent by itself, this matter is simply intolerable!

  Although the people who were expelled were members of the Wen family, it was like a slap in the face of all the gentry in Taiyuan!

  Grandpa Wang didn't believe a word of what was written on the **** notice. He only saw one thing, that is, the Shangdang people were so emboldened that they dared not speak out publicly.

   And the person who lent the courage to the Shangdang people is not that Zhonglang general? This Zhonglang general, in the face of the power of the Wang family, can he be regarded as that onion?

  However, this kid has a lot of soldiers now, so he is not easy to deal with...

If it was decades ago, Mrs. Wang would not have cared about the so-called military strength of this Zhonglang at all. You must know that there were a large number of county soldiers guarding the frontier in Bingzhou, but after all these years, they kept withdrawing, or I went to suppress the Xiqiang, or I went to deal with the Yellow Turban. A few years ago, Zhang Chun rebelled in Youzhou and took away another group...

   No matter how much money you have, you can't stand the trouble of a prodigal son!

And the northern part of Bingzhou really needs someone with soldiers to guard and defend against the Hu people. Otherwise, although the Shangdang area of ​​Taiyuan is surrounded by surrounding mountains and has a natural barrier, once the surrounding counties are surrounded by the Hu people If people loot everything, even if it is difficult to climb mountains and ridges, it will be difficult to resist a greedy heart.

Having said that, this Fei Qian may not have the intention of conflicting with the Wang family, otherwise he would not have abandoned Shangdang and retreated. From this point of view, it seems that these unfamiliar wolf cubs of Shangdang may have some crooked intentions and let the Yang family It's good to go and tidy up...

"You go to Wen's house, just say..." Mrs. Wang wrapped the ermine fur around her body tightly, as if she could not bear the cold in autumn and winter with a little gap, her words were also icy cold, "...people If you are not a sage, you can do nothing wrong. If you can correct your mistakes, there is nothing good about it.”

  Wang Jingyilin looked up and saw Mrs. Wang's eyes like ghost fire, he couldn't help but shuddered, bowed his head in response, and then asked Ann to leave again.

   "People are not sages, no one can do nothing! If you can correct your mistakes, there is nothing good about it."

   Sounds good, like a good word.

   But actually…

   Wen Hao served as the Shangdang prefect, did he use his power for personal gain?

   Just kidding, of course it is impossible not to, but also when he was pulling into his house, he did not forget to give a share to the gentry in Taiyuan, especially the Wang family.

  Although Wen Hao has not done many deeds worthy of the world's praise in these few years, but there is hard work without credit, and the words of Mrs. Wang almost wiped out Wen Hao's hard work in the past few years.

  Is Wen Hao a sage?

   No, so naturally there is a fault.

  What should I do if I make a mistake?

  Go and correct it! As long as you recognize the mistakes and correct them, you will be "benevolent."

   What if you don’t change it?

  This sentence comes from Duke Ling of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, he also agreed to correct his mistakes under the advice of Shi Ji, but later Duke Ling of Jin repented, did not correct his promises, and was finally assassinated...

  Ordinary sixteen characters, when you turn it over, you can see the hidden blood dripping behind it.

  If it wasn't the fault of the Wen family and Wen Hao, how could it have lost the control of the Shangdang?

  Shangdang people have done such a big thing under their jurisdiction, but Wen Hao didn't take any strong measures before and after the event. Isn't this a fault?

Yang Zan, the governor of Bingzhou, had no money and no soldiers. If he wanted to regain the Shangdang, it would be like what he said. There was no feng shui trend, nor the help of plants and trees. Then the bulk of these personnel and materials naturally needed someone to come out to fight against him. Resist.

Therefore, the meaning of Mrs. Wang is also very clear. The Shangdang matter is something that your Wen family did not do well. Now is the time for the Wen family to "make mistakes and make changes." Now, naturally everyone will "be kind" together, but if the Wen family doesn't understand, or refuses to admit it, and refuses to make efforts to correct it, then...

  Wang Jing understood the words of Mrs. Wang, and naturally the Wen family could understand them too. If they couldn't understand, or were unwilling to understand, then naturally they lost the right to continue having fun together.

In the imperial lineage of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu is a branch of Jingdi, Jingdi is the third generation, Liu Fa is the fourth generation, Liu Mai is the fifth generation, Liu Wai is the sixth generation, Liu Hui is the seventh generation, Liu Qin is the eighth generation, Liu Xiuqia is the ninth generation.

Then continue counting from Liu Xiu. Emperor Ming is the tenth generation grandson of Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Zhang the eleventh generation, Emperor Shang the twelfth generation, Emperor An the thirteenth generation, Emperor Shun and Emperor Huan are both the fourteenth generation, and Emperor Ling the fifteenth generation. By the time Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie was the sixteenth grandson of Emperor Gaozu and the fourteenth grandson of Emperor Jing.

   Hehehehe...

   Excuse me, what should Liu Bei call Han Xiandi?
