Section 74 Aspirations? Duty?

"Showing people with a female lady!"

Hearing Cai Ji's suggestion, the management commander, who had no preparation in advance, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Fortunately, Lily of the Valley had sent away all the servants outside the side hall before, so it did not cause an uproar. And Cai Ji, who was sitting opposite Guan Tong, did not flinch at all because of the other party's overreaction, on the contrary, she was more solemn and categorical, "Yes." Ji has long had this intention. ”

Seeing that Cai Ji didn't mean to be joking, Guan Tong couldn't help but look at the other party with strange eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "Fu Jun really plans to show people in women's clothes in the future?" There's no precedent for this. ”

"Since a woman can be a marquis and a king, why can't she be a taishou?" Cai Ji asked unwillingly.

Since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty had not yet been influenced by Confucianism, the status of women in the Han Dynasty and the protection of women's rights were significantly different from those in the Song and Ming dynasties, which were regarded by some as models of traditional Chinese culture. In the history of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, it was not uncommon for women to be feudal and obtain feudal titles. Han Gaozu Liu Bang sealed his brother and wife as Yin Anhou. Empress Lu was in power, and Mrs. Xiao He was the Marquis of Fu, and Fan Xu's wife Lu Xiao was the Marquis of Linguang. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he gave 2,000 households to the princes and daughters. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also once respected Zang'er, the mother of the queen, as the king of the plains, and the daughter of the Jin family, the ex-husband of the queen, as the king of Chengjun, and gave Tang Muyi. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty gave his grandmother the name of Boping Jun, and took the two counties of Boping and Liwu as Tang Muyi. Wang Mang's mother gave him the title of meritorious king. Wang Mang also built yì named the queen mother's sister Wang Junxia as Guang Enjun, Wang Junli as Guang Huijun, and Wang Jun's younger brother as Guang Shijun, all of whom ate soup and Muyi. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yi, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, was childless, and his three daughters were also named "small marquis". And Dangliyi under the rule of Donglai was once the food of Princess Weichang.

Of course, Cai Ji took the two Han Dynasty women as an example to prove the reasonableness of his female eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is somewhat unreasonable. For the power of these women depended on the nobility of their fathers, brothers, and husbands, rather than their own abilities. But even so, as soon as Cai Ji's words came out, he was still so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

However, Guan Tong was also not refuted by Cai Ji. Seeing that he couldn't convince the other party with the usual practice, Guan Tong organized his words in his heart a little, and then persuaded Cai Ji from the perspective of the general environment, "If it is in the Chengping period, it doesn't hurt if a woman is a woman. It's just that now that there is a big chaos today, the governor of the government is already shocking to the world when he is the head of a county in the year of Zhixue. If the prince of the palace shows people in women's clothes again, I am afraid that the world will despise Donglai. It even caused a military disaster for Donglai. ”

"Scourge?" Cai Ji raised his head and smiled noncommittally at Guan Tong, "Guan Juncheng, with all due respect." More than 1,000 county governments in the world are governed by men, and there are still wars. As the saying goes, the strong are self-reliant, and the weak are self-weak. As long as the officials and people of Donglai are united and strive for self-improvement, why are they afraid of military disasters! ”

"What a good one up and down, self-improvement! The prince of the house is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. Cai Ji's neither humble nor arrogant momentum made Guan Tong can't help but pat his palms. But that's just it, although the management is broad, he will not agree with Cai Ji's approach because of a few bold words. What's more, now that Cai Ji has become a pawn of Yuan Shao in Qingzhou, how can the management system let his temporary "willfulness" affect the layout of the lord. Therefore, Guan Tong then changed the conversation and said bluntly, "However, there are not many people in the world who can understand the talents of the king. On the contrary, when the foolish man and the foolish woman heard that the prince of their house was a woman, they were afraid to avoid it. ”

"Guan Jun is worried, and Ji also understands. Indeed, as a woman, Ji is easy to be despised. However, because of this, Ji Cai needs to do his best to show his identity, so as not to have many dreams at night. It must be known that the matter of Ji Nai's daughter is not airtight. If Ji's identity is revealed by the enemy, wouldn't it be self-defeating? What's more, the lord doesn't want to be ridiculed and ignorant at that time. Cai Ji compared to an example that worries her the most.

Listening to Cai Ji's analogy, Guan Tong also felt that it made sense, especially since this matter might affect Yuan Shao's prestige, so he immediately threw away his previous prejudices and nodded in response: "This matter is indeed tricky. If not, I will go back to repair the book and explore the lord's mouth. ”

Seeing that the management commander promised to help him speak to Yuan Shao, Cai Ji naturally thanked him happily, "Then there will be labor management." ”

In fact, for Cai Ji, no matter whether Yuan Shao agrees or not, it can't stop her from taking advantage of this opportunity to "turn positive" to disclose her identity. As analyzed by the management system, women have many inherent disadvantages when involved in politics. Especially in ancient times, due to the low status of women, it was always difficult to convince the public at first. There are roughly two ways for many heroines in history to solve this way, one is to rely on religion, such as Chen Shuozhen and Tang Sai'er; The second is to rely on imperial power, such as Lu Pheasant and Wu Cao. Cai Ji has no way to go through these two paths at the moment, so the holy decree of the imperial court has become the only thing she can rely on.

Although Cai Ji did not know whether Yuan Shao mentioned that she was a woman when he recommended her to the imperial court. But Cai Ji, who is familiar with history, knows that internal strife will break out between Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an City next year. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty would take advantage of this turmoil to leave Chang'an under the escort of Yang Feng and Dong Cheng and enter Anyi. During this period, many of the copywriting of the Jingshi will be destroyed in the war. Therefore, Cai Jida can safely claim that the imperial court recognized her as Donglai Taishou when they knew that she was a woman. Anyway, there is no proof of this matter. As the saying goes, only by being righteous can he speak well, as long as Cai Ji firmly grasps the premise that he is appointed by the imperial court, then the next thing is to speak with strength.

Now that he has this gift from Yuan Shao, Cai Ji naturally doesn't have to worry about how to reveal his identity. Therefore, in the next two days, Cai Ji asked people to prepare grain and grass for the next year's tribute, and on the other hand, he asked Huang Zhen and others in the house how to preside over Donghe.

But it was really said that on the day of Donghe, Cai Ji wore a golden crown and wore a dark robe, leading a cadre of civil and military officials in the Taishou Mansion, and worshipping heaven and earth in the Taishou Mansion in order to seek smooth weather in the coming year. Since the whole ceremony has a fixed pattern, Cai Ji does not have any stubble as long as he follows the step-by-step work. It's just that the civil and military officials looked at it so darkly, and they really couldn't tell who was who for a while.

It turned out that the style of the official uniforms of the two Han Dynasty was very simple, just a robe. In the Western Han Dynasty, black robes were worn all year round, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, court clothes began to match the official robes according to the season, that is, cyan in spring; Vermilion in summer; Yellow in the summer season; white in autumn; Black in winter. The rank and status of officials are distinguished by crowns and scarves. There are about 16 kinds of crowns in the Han Dynasty, and the Jinxian crown worn by Cai Ji belongs to the crown of Confucianism. The military crown worn by Tai Shi Ci was worn by the military attachΓ©s. Of course, the distinction between the ranks of officials in the Han Dynasty was mainly reflected in the group ribbons worn outside the robes.

The so-called "group" is the ribbon on the official seal, and the "ribbon" is a long strip of ornaments woven with colored silk, covering the sac or tied to the front of the abdomen and the waist, so it is called the ribbon. Due to the hierarchical system of rank and order implemented by the officials of the two Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty did not have the saying of "how many grades of official residence", only the name of "how many stones are the rank ratio". According to the color of the silk corresponding to the rank and rank system, it can be roughly divided into four colors of the emperor's yellow red ribbon, yellow and red ribbon, two zhang nine feet nine inches long, and five hundred. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager. The princes and kings are red and colorful. Red and yellow, two feet and one foot long, three hundred. The eldest princess, the same as the nobles of the Son of Heaven. The prince general has a gold seal and a purple ribbon. Purple and white, one foot and seven feet long, one hundred and eighty songs. Jiuqing silver seal green ribbon three colors, blue, white and red, one zhang seven feet long, one hundred and twenty songs. Thousand, six hundred stone copper seal ink ribbon three colors. Fourth, three, two hundred stone copper seal yellow ribbon. Since the green ribbon is above the silk ribbon there are three feet two inches long silk and ribbon with the same color, and the first half of it, used to wear the ribbon. Above the purple ribbon, you can add jade rings and iron. The first here is the unit of warp wire density, a single wire is a series, four series is a support, five support is a song, the silk is six inches wide, the first more silk is fine, the first less is thick. Pei is tied in the ribbon, which means that the color group is tied on the belt button of Pei Yu, and it is connected with the ribbon. Usually officials carry official seals with them, put them in a sac around their waists, hang the ribbon outside, tie a double knot at one end of the ribbon, and hang the other end behind their back.

The rank ratio is two thousand stones, so the group of ribbons worn by Cai Ji on his waist at the moment is a copper seal ink ribbon with three colors. Although he is petite, he looks really majestic from a distance. After saying that after sacrificing heaven and earth, the next thing is the Da Da evil exorcism ceremony that Cai Ji is most interested in. But since everyone in the Taishou Mansion knew that his Taishou was a woman, all Cai Ji had to do during the entire exorcism ceremony was just to stand on the sidelines and watch.

Although Fang Xiang, who was invited by the county government, was not wearing a bear skin, his appearance of wearing a four-eyed mask and holding a shield was still quite terrifying at first glance. But I saw that he led the boy who played the role of the twelve divine beasts, dancing bravely and fiercely with the low drum beat, and kept shouting "Wu" and "Wu" in his mouth to scare off the ghosts.

The whole process is very simple and simple. But it is this simple and simple ritual that carries a breathtaking charm. made people like Cai Ji, who don't believe in ghosts and gods, can't help but feel a little awe in their hearts. If you think about it carefully, the reason why Cai Ji, who had seen a lot in his previous life, felt this way, in the final analysis, was that the people of the Han Dynasty were afraid of the gods when they exorcised evil spirits. Unlike many male thieves and female prostitutes in later generations, no matter how gorgeous the ceremony is, without the slightest sincerity, it is just a monkey show.

However, at this time, after Fang Xiang's family danced around the Taishou Mansion, he did not stop there, but continued to shout "Wu", "Wu", and took the boy who played the divine beast to dance all the way, walked out of the yamen, and went door to door along the long street to exorcise evil spirits. As for the people in the city, when they saw Fang Xiang's arrival, they opened their doors one by one, as if they wanted to expel some filthy thing from their homes.

Seeing this, Cai Ji couldn't help but ask Huang Zhen on the side curiously: "Huang Gongcao, this Fang Xiang's clan wants to jump all over every long street in the city?" ”

Huang Zhen couldn't help but glance at her when she heard Cai Ji ask like this, thinking that this little Cai Fujun is really interesting, he seems to be quite well-informed on weekdays, why hasn't he even seen Da Da. However, since the other party was ashamed to ask, Huang Zhen had to answer truthfully, "Don't hide it from the prince, in the past few years, natural disasters and wars have continued, and the corpse gas has accumulated a lot. ”

Cai Ji listened to Huang Zhen's explanation, and sighed thoughtfully: "If this is the case, I'm afraid that Fang Xiang's family will be very busy in the future." ”

"According to what the king of the palace said, it seems that the world is difficult to decide?" Huang Zhen said something.

Cai Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Huang Gongcao thinks that this troubled world will end soon?" ”

Faced with Cai Ji's straightforward rhetorical question, Huang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then stood up and smiled bitterly: "Fujun is right. This troubled world really doesn't have a head no matter how you look at it. ”

Who knew that Cai Ji gently shook his long sleeves and persuaded Huang Zhen, "Huang Gongcao should not be too pessimistic. After all, the trend of the world, if you divide for a long time, you will be together for a long time. There will always be an end to troubled times. ”

"If you divide for a long time, you will be together, and you will be divided for a long time?" Huang Zhen heard Cai Ji say lightly, and couldn't help but mutter, "Five hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. I don't know if the old man will be able to see the world again in his lifetime. ”

"Even so. It's not that the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period have come out. Although the troubled times are long, since we are shepherding one side, we should benefit the other. As a Donglai, the government is too guarded, and it has to let the people of Donglai live a peaceful life. Cai Ji said frankly. In her opinion, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and no matter how history is changed in the future, it is the most important thing to lay a good foundation for running the base of Donglai at present.

But Cai Ji's words were different to Huang Zhen's ears. Especially on the premise of knowing that Cai Ji has taken refuge in Yuan Shao, it is difficult not to think of the sentence "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, Seven Heroes of the Warring States". So Huang Zhen hurriedly asked, "Is this the ambition of the prince?" ”

Ambition? Of course, guarding the one-third of an acre of land in Donglai cannot be Cai Ji's ambition. Therefore, she immediately replied without thinking, "This is the duty of this government. ”

Duty? What a slippery answer. Huang Zhen secretly sneered in her heart. But he also had to admit that such "duties" of Cai Ji were a good thing for Donglai County. It is better to be realistic than shouting slogans such as "reviving the Han family". In fact, since Cai Ji proposed to improve the bookkeeping method last time, Huang Zhen has realized that the girl in front of her is not small. Therefore, he has been secretly observing Cai Ji's every move these days, in order to analyze the other party's intentions. Now listening to Cai Ji's words, Huang Zhen felt that if this girl wanted to help Yuan Shao divide one side, then all her previous actions would be explained. At the same time, he also made up his mind to take refuge in Cai Ji, no, to be precise, it should be the determination to take refuge in Yuan Shao. In fact, Huang Zhen is not a pedantic person. The reason why he chose to join forces with Duan Kui before was mainly because Guan Tong was too broad-minded, and he didn't look like a person who could do practical things. But Cai Ji is different, this girl only took one year to jump from a helpless orphan girl to the guard of a county, and at the same time forced back the local snake Duan Kui, plus Yuan Shao as the backing. Such a character is the object worth clinging to.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhendang turned around and saluted respectfully at Cai Ji: "The prince of the mansion is reasonable. The old man and others will take the lead of the government and do their best in the future. ”

Seeing that Huang Zhen was so straightforward to show his loyalty to himself, Cai Ji couldn't help but feel moved, and turned around and asked, "Oh? If he is dressed in women's clothes for office in this mansion, Huang Gongcao will also look at the head of this mansion? ”
