It's a pity that the two lines of poetry that Wu Lun read yesterday did not cause a sensation in the hall.

On the contrary, there was a burst of laughter and perfunctory applause, there are quite few seven words in this era, and they are only occasionally sandwiched in the Fu, and the level of the fifth Lun, in the eyes of Xiao Yan and Wang Long, is just a ...... Doggerel.

No one even linked it to rebellion, and only a few people heard the implications.

For example, Jingdan.

The next day, it was not until noon, when the sun had already risen, that Wu Lun opened his eyes and lost his mind for a moment when he looked at the unfamiliar furnishings around him.

Then I remembered that after finishing the banquet at Changping Pavilion last night, I really couldn't resist Jing Dan's warm invitation and borrowed the night at his house.

Get up and put on your clothes, catch a glimpse of the ordinary utensils in the house, push the door out, there is a small courtyard outside, in the field covered with autumn sunshine, a middle-aged woman is sweeping the fallen leaves of last night, and when she saw the fifth Lun come out, she hurriedly saluted and called her husband again.

"Beloved, you're welcome."

This is Jing Dan's home in the county town, with his position as a literary scholar, it is equivalent to the director of the city education bureau, as long as he wants, he can live quite wealthy. Now it seems to be quite incorruptible, even Jun Si Baima has to borrow from neighbors, it seems that the person who is really the same on the outside is probably Jing Dan.

Jing Dan asked his wife to call the servants to prepare for the morning meal, and called a twelve or thirteen-year-old child to visit Wu Lun: "This son went to bed early last night, and he didn't see Boyu, Shang'er, call uncle quickly." ”

"Jing Shang?"

Wu Lun remembered: "Sun Qing's brother, isn't that 'Taishi Xizhong' in the court also called Jing Shang?" ”

He couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that Sun Qing deliberately took advantage of the Ru clan brother?" ”

"Boyu misunderstood, in fact, it was Wu'er who took the name first."

Jing Dan smiled bitterly: "My brother was originally a second name, until the former Emperor Ping, now he is Zai Heng, reformed the etiquette system, and ordered that no one in China should have two names, so it was changed to a single word, and it happened to have the same name as my son." ”

The so-called two names, which are two-character names, are regarded as a symbol of lowliness in the new dynasty, and are mostly used by slaves and maids and common people. As long as there is a bit of status and culture, most of them are based on single names, and even if they are not, they will be changed quickly.

Fifth Lun only felt funny, in Wang Mang's decree, the ban on these two names was implemented most smoothly. It's not just the people of Huaxia who want to change their single name, according to Jing Dan, Wang Mang even ordered the name of the leader of Siyi to be changed.

For example, the Xiongnu Shan Yu was named "Nang Zhiyasi", Wang Mang sent a messenger to both soft and hard, and let Shan Yu write a book, saying that he admired Chinese etiquette and changed his name to "Zhi" in accordance with the times. But the name of the Huns is a transliteration, and this operation is like a serious order to officially change the name of the commander of the beautiful country to Trump, which is ridiculous.

After saying this episode, Jing Dan asked his son to continue studying, and he solemnly bowed his hand to Wu Lun: "After Boyu recited the poem yesterday, everyone laughed, thinking that it was not a sentence and there was no literary talent. But from these two sentences, I heard Boyu's ambition. ”

Fifth Lun was taken aback: "Oh, what did Brother Sun Qing hear?" ”

Jing Dan said: "I am a little older than Boyu, I witnessed the danger at the end of the Han Dynasty, as early as a few decades ago, a Confucian scholar Jingfang once asked Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, is it a rule or a chaotic era today? Emperor Yuan couldn't help it, and only replied, 'It's also very messy, how can he still say'! ”

"This troubled era continues to this day, which reminds me of the description of King Zhou Li in "The Turn of October". The sun and the moon tell the murderer, don't do it. The four countries have no government, and they don't need to be good. If the moon is eclipsed, it will be normal; This sun is eclipsed, why not Zang. ”

I'm not the only thief? Fifth Lun smiled: "Brother Sun Qing is comparing this dynasty to a powerful and quiet time? Even if it's at home, you still have to be cautious. ”

Jing Dan explained: "In the previous dynasty, Emperor Wai was the king of Zhou Li, and now it should be a republican administration, but the 'Duke of Zhou' has obtained the mandate of heaven and has already sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven. ”

He continued: "Although this move has made the world a little calmer, the change of government decree is like a shock and lightning, and it is not easy to order. The new Zen Dynasty is like a hundred rivers boiling and mountains collapsing. And the right status of the county is rising, and the high bank is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum! ”

"Don't you see that the princes surnamed Liu of the Han family have all been demoted by one level, and many common people have either offered talismans, or have been named dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, and men with scriptures and quelling chaos, and even countless people who are attached to the city?"

He expressed his disdain for the old and the young: "Xiao, Fan and other clans are just the relics of the previous dynasty, although the family business is large, but they do not want to forge ahead, they have been yesterday's summer flowers, the autumn wind swept away, all withered." ”

"And Boyu was born in a poor family, although he is a horseman, but he has the world in mind and is famous in the county. Ten or twenty years later, when you go to Changping Pavilion again, all the families will be defeated, and only you can proudly bloom and replace it! ”

"I heard this ambition from Boyu's verses!"

Isn't this Jing Dan's voice?

After Jing Dan finished speaking, Wu Lun only expressed his admiration: "Those who know me, Brother Sun Qing, are not bad at all!" ”

But he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart: "Jing Dan didn't hear it, I actually wanted to change their lives!" ”

……

After eating at Jing Dan's house, Wu Lun said goodbye, and Jing Dan also persuaded him when he saw him off, the Qi family and the governance of the country do not have to be separated, if there is a good opportunity, you can no longer blindly resign, or actively go out.

"Although I know the ambition of Boyu, if I don't have a blue and black ribbon, it is still too difficult to make the clan grow strong in the county and get things done."

When the fifth Lun returned home, he learned that the killer who came to "assassinate" him the day before yesterday was still missing, and there was no change on the seventh Biao's side, but the seventh leopard was gone.

The fifth tyrant asked in detail about the experience of the confrontation with the assassin that day, and scolded him a few words after listening to it: "Shame on people, one or two arrows will not die if you shoot yourself, if you let the old man meet that person, I will ......."

A sliding shovel goes over and calls the killer to disembowel?

The fifth Lun Nene nodded, the old man probably meant this, the fifth Lun Xin, but people are different.

Anyway, it would be right to go out and bring two more thugs after that, and the fifth Lun only went back to the house, pondering the harvest of this trip to Changping Pavilion.

Not only did he drink a lot of chrysanthemum wine, but he also let Wu Lun's knowledge expand from the small Linqu Township in the south of the county to the entire Changling County.

Wang Yuanjia is undoubtedly a tyrant in the north of the county and has absolute strength; The eleven former dynasty relics led by the Xiao family are mostly in the east of the county; I heard that there is a big man named "Shang Fangban" in the west of the county, who was too old and was not invited to the banquet.

Even if Fan Zhu, the descendant of Fan Xu, is brought out, the family is sitting on hundreds of hectares of land, and the clan members are attached to thousands of county tycoons. Compared with them, the Fifth Clan is really a little ant, although the Fifth Lun said "I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom", but if the chaos comes in advance and the fire rises, it is not certain who will kill whom.

"My family's strength accounts for about 1% of the county." After a cursory calculation, he had self-knowledge.

Even if the first to eighth clans are integrated, it is only 8%, which is still less than half of the strength of the Hou of Qiongcheng and Xiao Xianghou.

This made the fifth Lun a little anxious, the development was accelerated, the money and grain had to be hoarded, the dock yard had to be expanded and reinforced, the training had to be put on the agenda, and the iron tools had to be put in place quickly.

While doing these things, we must also develop Yicang and Yixue, plan for the long term, and not kill chickens and eggs and lose people's hearts, which is contrary to the original intention of the ideal of Wulun.

It's also too hard.

There are so many things that make Fifth Lun a little headache, but it's easy to simply brush up on his reputation. He has fame, but he can't immediately transform it into real profit, in this official-based society, it is really troublesome for a white man to want to do things.

In this way, a few days later, the time entered the middle of September, and the fifth Lun was organizing the people of the Li nationality to build a cylinder car by the canal, but a small official in the city visited, saying that Zhang Zhan, the chief of the lieutenant county, had returned from Chang'an and summoned him to the county government to see him.

……

The county government is located in the north of the city, opposite to the county temple in the south of the city, but it is much larger than the county temple, the courtyard is deep, and the wall is carved in Junyu.

Last time, the fifth Lun came for private matters, and he knocked on the east gate of the county government, but this time it was a business matter, so he went straight to the main gate.

Outside the gate, there was a soldier with a halberd standing guard. There are still some "who" under the eaves of the door, so that the officials who came to Cao Peng's office wait, and the queue is quite long.

Fifth Lun didn't have to wait, Jing Dan was already waiting for him at the door, and he could enter directly.

"Brother Sun Qing, I see that you are full of spring breeze, what is the happy event?"

"Boyu will find out later." Jing Dan's mouth was still strict, and he only smiled and asked Fifth Lun to go with him.

After entering the main gate, Jing Dan told Wu Lun that the small courtyard on the east side was the house where Da Yin, his family, and the guests under the door lived, which was equivalent to a back bed. To the west is the office of Zhu Cao Peng, which is the former dynasty.

They passed by each small courtyard, and it was a single Cao Peng. What thief Cao, Gong Cao, Yi Cao, Hu Cao, Jin Cao, Shui Cao, Ke Cao, Cang Cao, Bing Cao, Wuguan Cao, equivalent to the various departments and units in the city in later generations, Cao all have Peng.

The black-clad and small hat Shuzuo and Peng Shi came and went from time to time holding documents, and if Wu Lun had accepted the removal of the "Master Room History" last time, he would probably be busy in the meantime.

Jing Dan has been taking the fifth Lun to the largest court in front of him, building a tall fúsī (fúsī), similar to the wall of later generations, painted with clouds and birds and beasts in cyan and black, showing the prestige of the county.

Bypassing it and entering the hall, Wu Lun took off his shoes and only wore his footwear and followed Jing Dan into the hall, but unexpectedly found that a few days ago, Xiao Yan and Wang Long, who were sitting at the same table in the Changping Pavilion, were actually sitting inside!

Wang Long, the nephew of the Marquis of Qiongcheng, the fifth Lun's impression of him is the song "Qiu Ju Fu". But this person is always stunned except when he is writing, and he doesn't know what he is thinking when he tilts his head, probably thinking about the rhetoric of the next great song.

Xiao Yan was already waiting impatiently, but now that he saw that the enemy had also come, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Jing Cao Peng, what is the fifth Lun doing?" ”

Jing Dan is neither humble nor arrogant: "Boyu is also among the summons of the county king, as for what it is, we will know later." ”

Wang Long didn't notice that someone was coming until this time, glanced at Wu Lun and Jing Dan, and then went in a daze again.

Jing Dan and the fifth Lun sat in the east, the fifth Lun looked around, although this hall is large, the decoration is extremely simple, the county temple is more luxurious than this, not to mention the Qiongcheng Marquis Mansion.

At this time, it was already a little dark, but there were no lights and candles in the hall, Xiao Yan asked strangely, but Jing Dan told him: "The county king has issued an order, and no lamps are allowed before dusk." ”

Xiao Yan, a child of Shiqing who was born on the clouds, burned candles like burning wood, of course he couldn't understand it, pursed his lips, and must be disdainful in his heart. Fifth Lun secretly bowed his head: "At least on the surface, this county Yin Zhang Zixiao is still thrifty. ”

But this is useless, filial piety and incorruptible officials may not be powerful in governing the county, just look at the flying and domineering of Qiong Chenghou and Xiao, Zhang Zhan can't stand up, and there is nothing he can do about them.

Not long after, Zhang Zhan came, but saw that he was in his forties, with a three-pronged beard and a solemn face, worthy of the title of Sanfu Appearance. Wearing an old official uniform, a belt around the waist, and bast shoes, is this like this on weekdays, or is it implementing Wang Mang's simple style?

"I've seen Junjun!"

The four of them got up and saluted Zhang Zhan, Zhang Zixiao didn't like red tape, and said directly: "The ancients, the minister's doctor, the general strategy, unification, education, and beauty and customs." From the beginning of the previous dynasty, the county guard and the two thousand stones had to select the wise men among the officials, and every year they elected two people to the court to become Lang officials, which was for filial piety. ”

"The new room rules the world with filial piety, and the same is true, those who do not raise it are guilty!"

When he heard that it was related to filial piety, Xiao Yan's face was different, and he looked at the fifth Lun opposite, and he was very suspicious.

He had long heard his father Xiao Xianghou say that there are two filial piety this year, one is he Xiao Yan, and the other is Wang Long, who has the post of "History under the Door" in the county.

Now that Zhang Zhan has summoned them to come, it should be officially announced, and Jing Dan can also be said to be a civilized official who is qualified to observe, what is the purpose of calling the fifth Lun?

Could it be that Zhang Zhan didn't know which tendon was wrong, and wanted to let Wu Lun replace one of them?

Thinking like this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but get angry, but it was very similar to the sarcasm at the banquet that day, the owl pressed the rotting rat under his feet, just thinking that the phoenix was going to grab food with it!

Fortunately, before he had a seizure, Zhang Zhan finished speaking.

"However, this year is different, Your Majesty has an edict, and there will be faithfulness in the ten chambers, and the three of them will be in parallel, and there will be my teacher. It has been ten years since the founding of the new office, and this year it is necessary to open up the road to the virtuous and select handsome literary scholars, so that the virtuous can participate in political affairs and pray for the hearts of the people. So this year, the two of them were changed to four of them! ”

"Tekko?"

The four people present looked at each other, it turned out that as early as the former Han Dynasty, in addition to filial piety and honesty as a regular subject, this probationary system also recruited special subjects from time to time. Such as virtuous and square, virtuous literature, and even Ming Jing, Ming Law, Youyi, Governing Drama, Brave and Knowing the Art of War, Ming Yin and Yang Disasters, etc...... It's probably equivalent to a special recruit.

Wang Mang waved the knife of reform to the road of Shijin, combined special science and regular department, and made an unprecedented "four science to take scholars".

"The Son of Heaven ordered the people under the rule of 2,000 Shiju to have one person who is virtuous, knowledgeable in political affairs, able to speak, and literate."

"A Ming literature, Wang Long, you learn and cultivate, quite capable of articles, can be done."

Wang Long has recovered from his literary world and got up to make a promise, and it can be seen from that fu that it is indeed well deserved.

"One is a speech, Xiao Yan, the Ru family has been virtuous for generations, a doctor in the scriptures, and can speak outright, which can be done."

The first two are okay, but what kind of "outspoken advice" can't be hit, does it mean that he is good at raising the bar? Xiao Yan obviously relied on the clan to read it.

Xiao Yan only silently bowed his hand, and it could be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement.

"It's a matter of politics."

Zhang Zhan looked at Jing Dan, who he had always trusted, and he had always promised Sun Qing that he was on the right path, and now it has been realized.

"Sun Qing, during your tenure as a literary scholar, you have a clear understanding of the law, which is enough to resolve doubts, and you can re-ask the case chapters, and the imperial history in the text can be done!"

Jing Dan promised, with a lot of emotion, he failed to shoot after studying Taixue, and because he was suppressed by the large sect in Shiwei County, it was difficult to get ahead, so he resolutely left his hometown and went to the lieutenant to defect to the rare Qing official Zhang Zhan.

Although he has done 300 stone Cao Peng, it is not the right way to be an official after all, Jing Dan is still eager to be a cha and become a Lang official, so that he can be alone and become a county magistrate in the future.

"One is virtuous."

Zhang Zhan looked at Fifth Lun, speaking of which, although he had heard his name for a long time, this was the first time Zhang Junyin had seen Fifth Lun.

But seeing that this son is not tall, but he has a bit of bearing, and he is the youngest of the four people here. Thinking of Jing Dan talking to him again, the words and deeds of the fifth Lun in the Changping Pavilion that day made him a little more fond of it.

In the end, Zhang Zhan was under tremendous pressure and reserved for the fifth Lun.

"Fifth Lun, you are virtuous and innocent. Confucius said that the affairs of a gentleman are filial piety, so loyalty can be transferred to the king. The matter is brotherly, so it can be moved to the long. Home management, so the rule can be transferred to the official. It is to be made in the inside, and the name will be established in future generations. ”

"This virtue is a subject, you can deserve it!"

Zhang Zhan spoke quickly, and kept staring at Wu Lun, for fear that he would refuse. And Jing Dan on the side was the same, his eyes frequently hinted at Wu Lun, asking him to respond quickly, lest this kid say something again.

Fifth Lun opened his mouth slightly, and before he could speak, someone on the side couldn't help it.

Xiao Yan suddenly got up and arched his hand, and said loudly: "The kid is shallow, this is a subject of speech, he really can't afford it, Jun Yin should ask another master!" ”
