In late November, the first snow has fallen in Chang'an, and the Xuanwu Gate on the east side of Weiyang Palace is covered with a layer of silver armor, and the relief on the Que has really become a "dragon".Everyone on Hengmen Street was wrapped like a bear, but the snow in Shangguanli had long been swept away, cleaner than in the palace.After all, it is the first mile of Chang'an, where many high-ranking officials live at the deputy national level, and the property level is the first in the world."
The emperor's great-grandson is here, and the Marquis of Xi'an has warmed the wine."
In front of the Xi'an Hou Mansion, Xia Dingmao stretched out his hand to take Liu Ai's thick fur and invited Liu Ai to come in.Xia Weng likes this young descendant very much, although he has the name of the clan, but his speech and demeanor are no different from the young man next door in the poor alley, he has no stinky problems with the imperial family, and is polite to his old servant, which is much better than the Huo family brothers who are very arrogant in and out of Shangguan."
I'm here to bother Xia Weng again, I'm here to return the book."
Liu Ai has been holding a heavy stack of bamboo slips in his arms, since last month, there have been some historical stories in the circle of Chang'an scholars, what will be and touch the dragon to say that the Empress Dowager Zhao Hongmen banquet, the length is not long, but the pen is wonderful, popular.After all, it is a famous article that can still enter the language textbook after 2,000 years, and it is a good thing whose vitality surpasses the times.It's just that the source is unknown, some people say that this is Jia Yi's posthumous work, some say that it is Huainan Yinyu, and some say that it is the Taishi Gongshu, which has a new article every four or five days, which has caused everyone to compete to copy it, and Chang'an is simple and expensive for a while.However, Liu Ying already knew that this was indeed the official book of Taishi, and the original was hidden in the home of Yang Chang, the imperial historian, and Hou Renhong, who lived next door to him, borrowed it and asked the hired taxi to transcribe the interesting story and publish it.Therefore, Liu Yi is close to the water and the tower is the first to get the moon, and he can often see them one step ahead of the Anshi people.His favorite are two stories, one is that Xinling Jun stole talismans to save Zhao, Liu Yi has finished reading the lives of the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period, and he looks down on the plains with disdain for Meng Wei, and is disgusted with what Chun Shenjun did in his later years, but he is ten minutes in love with Wei Gongzi Wuji.Impressed by his corporal Lixian, excited to save Zhao wielding the golden hammer, the battle of Handan broke Qin, shocked the world, and saddened that the son was not used by the king of Wei in his later years, and died of injuries due to wine.Wei Gongzi, this is probably the ideal appearance of all Ren Xia and righteous young people.Liu Yi had heard that Emperor Gao also admired Xinlingjun, and every time he passed by Daliang during the confrontation between Chu and Han, he would worship Xinlingjun, and also specially approved five families to guard Xinlingjun's tomb and let them worship at four o'clock.And another story that Liu Ai has also loved, called Zhao's orphan, is taken from the story performed by Taishi Gong in Zhao's family, although some novelists say it, but it has particularly moved Liu Ai.The Zhao family of Jin Qing was framed by the traitor Tu Anjia, and suffered the disaster of extermination, which is known as the "difficulty of going to the palace" in history.Zhao Wu, the widow of the Zhao family, survived under the protection of the disciples and grandsons of the people, Pestle and Cheng Ying, and relied on the help of Han Ju and other deceased people to revive the Zhao family and wash away the grievances of the family.This story made Liu Ying cry when he watched it late at night, perhaps remembering everything he had when he was young."
The scourge of witches is like the difficulty of going to the palace, and I am like the orphan of the Zhao family!"
The court ordered Zhang He, just like Cheng Ying and Gongsun Pestle who protected Zhao Wu, but the "Han Ju" who helped the Zhao orphans revive the family is still missing.These are the two dreams in his heart, yearning for a laissez-faire life, hoping to become a hero, and faintly hoping that he can restore his identity and family reputation, at least, he will ask his great-grandmother Empress Wei's poor coffin and grave again, and bury it more decently.It's just that now that he is rich in the Spring and Autumn Period, Liu Ai's identity as the emperor's great-grandson is more sensitive than the Zhao orphan, and although the traitor "Tu Anjia" is dead, the Wu Gu case is far away.The Hou Renhong family in Xi'an was also implicated in the witch Gu case, and he was imprisoned for a period of time when he was young, and this common experience may be one of the reasons why Liu Yi is willing to get close.As the descendant of a criminal who has been imprisoned for three generations, he can make great contributions to the marquis and become famous, which is something that Liu Ai has envied but cannot do.Although Xi'an Hou said that he didn't have to return the book, Liu Ai still visited every day off, and as soon as he returned and borrowed, he had two more friendships.What's more, the Ren family's silky soup cakes, hot mutton soup, don't need too many condiments, sprinkle a handful of green onions fragrant, Liu Yi has tasted it once and it is unforgettable, this good thing can not be eaten anywhere out of Xi'an Houfu.And he felt that in Xi'an, the officials of the Hou Mansion could learn something more new than cockfighting, knowledge that was not in books and poems."
The emperor's great-grandson, come in and drink the hot soup."
When he walked to the hall, Xi'an Hou had heard that he was coming, and greeted him at the door.Although Liu Ill is now white, but the Marquis of Xi'an insists on treating him with courtesy, and even let Liu Ill have called him the word, this courtesy is very rare, you know, the princes who live in Shangguan meet themselves, they have always nodded casually, and Zhang Anshi, Marquis of Fuping, will even deliberately avoid walking.Outside the hall were three pairs of shoes, and there were already two people sitting in the hall, both of whom were friends of Xi'an Hou.One of them is Yang Yun, the son of the imperial historian next door, and the other is Zhang Chang, the Weiyang stable under the servant, a talented and arrogant person who is ruthless in his mouth, and a humorous and kind.However, these two friends are fighting-for-tat at the moment, Zhang Chang was too lazy to mention it casually, but Yang Yun grabbed his words and insisted on forcing Zhang Chang to refute them.Ren Hong didn't care about them, only invited Liu Ai to sit down and served him a warm hot soup."
What are Yang and Zhang Erjun fighting for today?"
Liu Yi had already looked at the aggressive Yang Yun, he had a good chat with Zhang Chang, but he didn't like this person very much.Ren Hong said with a smile: "They are arguing, in the past, Qin Shi Huangdi, whether there was a book burning pit Confucianism." ”"Zi You, Qin Yan Five Classics, pit and kill Confucianism, the Five Classics are also heard by the family, although I am not academic, but I am a descendant of the Zuo Chuan, I Yue Weng often says, if there is no Qin burning books, the classics do not have to be so scattered and unheard, and the books do not have to be until after the Han Dynasty, only to be dictated by Fu Sheng, and recorded by the doctor."
Zhang Chang's personality has always been easy-going, and he was forced into a corner by the powerful Yang Yun to say these words.Liu Yi already agreed, and interjected: "The master who taught me to learn poetry is the mellow Confucian Zhongweng of Donghai County, and he also told me that Qin burned poems and books, punished and learned, and the people complained about it, and the world was on the sidelines. ”Burning books and pit Confucianism, this is what the doctors of the Five Classics and the Confucian students in the low-level counties and townships are talking about, and everyone said that Liu Yi has also been affected, but Yang Yun doesn't believe it."
There are books burned, Qin is proud, and burns the world's poetry and books, especially the historical records of the princes.Therefore, Jia Sheng once said that the king of Qin had a greedy heart, practiced the wisdom of self-exertion, did not believe in meritorious heroes, did not get close to the people, abolished the royal road and established private love, burned books and tortured the law, first deceit and then benevolence, and took tyranny as the beginning of the world. ”Yang Yun insisted on his grandfather's statement: "But there is no Confucianism, if there is, why didn't Lu Jia and Jia Yi mention it in a word, and why is it not recorded in my grandfather's Taishi Gongshu?"
”Next, he began to quote scriptures, which will happen in the 35th year of Qin Shi Huang, led by Hou Sheng, Lu Sheng, Han Zhong, etc., the monks who searched for immortal elixirs for Qin Shi Huang failed, and fled one after another in order to escape punishment, which attracted the anger and investigation of Qin Shi Huang, and finally led to the cause and effect of killing hundreds of magicians."
It's the warlocks who cheated it, it's the monks who deceived Qin Shi Huang, even if there are a few Confucian students, it's a manslaughter, just a few.""
Then why do people say that they have noses and eyes?"
Zhang Chang was also forced to be anxious, and asked rhetorically: "There is a rumor in Chang'anfang, saying that Qin Shi Huang dug a pit to plant melons in the Wengu Valley of Lishan, and on the grounds of the strange scene of ripe melons in winter, he tricked the doctors and all the students to gather in Lishan to watch, and a total of 700 virtuous Confucians were deceived here, and they were first injured by the pre-set mechanism ambush crossbow, and more than 700 Confucian students were all buried alive. ”Ren Hong, the people who eat melons, were stunned, and they were able to make up such an imaginative and bold story.When Yang Yun heard this, he immediately laughed: "This story is not clever at all.People with a little bit of brains can see at a glance that Qin's laws are very strict, even if Fang Shi commits a crime, he is also convicted and killed by the imperial Shi Tingwei after trial, and the vulgar Confucianism is to change it to Qin Shi Huang's preset trap to deceive Confucianism, it is really ingenious, the first emperor is just and violent, and he is against himself, and he is not the one who is in the pit, so why bother to set up tricks?
”Ren Hong agrees with this, the Han Dynasty's reflection on the Qin Dynasty is very long-lasting, and the early stage is to summarize the lessons of history: why did an old empire collapse in just a dozen years, what mistakes were made, and how the Han Dynasty could avoid repeating the mistakes of Qin, which represents Jia Yi's theory of passing through Qin.Therefore, under the guidance of this thought, Qin abolished feudalism and Han restored feudalism, and divided the princes and kings.Qin used the law and the early Han Dynasty ruled the country with Huang Lao, doing nothing and doing nothing.Although there is a suspicion of overkill, at least this kind of thinking allowed the Han to successfully pass the dangerous period, and after recuperation, the county regained its prosperity.However, from the beginning of the Wudi Dynasty, the Confucian scholars began to deviate from the thinking of the Qin Dynasty and embarked on a politically correct road with the Black Qin, such as Dong Zhongshu once said: "Qin used the law of Shang Yang to change the system of the emperor, except for the well field, the people have to buy and sell, the rich Tian Lian Qianmo, and the poor die in the land." ”He put the social problems of the Han Dynasty on the head of Qin, who did not allow land annexation, and Confucian dismissed everything about Qin, seeing it as the root of all evil, because Qin Zheng was the opposite of Zhou Zheng, and in this case, Confucianism, who failed to play a key role in the destruction of Qin Dynasty, began to create another image for himself: the martyr of Qin Zheng.They exaggerated the extent to which Qin burned poetry and books, and fabricated them in order to elevate the Confucian classics as the Bible.He also compiled the story of Confucianism on the basis of the pit method, with the aim of shaping the Confucian scholars into martyred saints.As a later scholar said, all the narrative historical materials about Qin in the Han Dynasty should be used with caution, because the subjectivity is too strong and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.This has been repeated for hundreds of years, and when the lie became the truth, even Sang Hongyang, the enemy of virtuous learning, thought that the burning of books and the pit of Confucianism was true, and said such words in the discussion of salt and iron: "Therefore, the king of Qin burned his technique and did not use it, and he did not use it in the pit." ”Of course, Confucian himself believed in these propaganda, so he would rebel against Qin whenever he heard it, and he was extremely sensitive when he heard the word Qin.This is also the reason why Xianliangxue will be so frightened when he listens to Ren Hong's nonsense and says that the remnants of the Qin Dynasty established the Great Qin State in Haixi and wants to return to the Central Plains.The lies made up with their hearts have become the creed of all Confucian scholars, except for the texts of Zhong Ni, Qin and Xianliangxue, who have made meritorious deeds, are natural enemies.So in turn, it was used by Ren Hong.Zhang Chang was worried, and admonished Yang Yun: "What Ziyou said is reasonable, but your rhetoric can convince us, but it can't convince the people of the world and the Confucian scholars."
But anyone who says good things for Qin will be attacked by a group, you can say this in the Hou family in Xi'an, don't go out and talk nonsense!
”Black Qin is the political correctness of the Han Dynasty, and only when Qin becomes the source of evil can it show the greatness of Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, who killed the white snake and overthrew Qin in three years.Anyone who wants to overturn the case and say good things for Li Si and Qin Shi Huang, such as Sang Hongyang, will be ruthlessly educated by reality.Ren Hong is not a remnant of the Qin Dynasty, and he has the intention of entering the Confucian classics for transformation, so he will naturally not be stupid enough to go against the trend.However, after Yang Yun and Zhang Chang said goodbye, Ren Hong smiled and asked the thoughtful Liu Aiji: "After listening to it, what does the emperor's great-grandson think, how is Qin Zheng?"
