Chapter 37: Do You Believe It?
"Bo Yu is the fifth lang of the 'righteous strong bow'?"
"Oh? Boshan actually recognizes me! ”
Fifth Lun thought that his reputation would not be spread to Lieutenant County, so he came to Chang'an in only half a month?
There are many people in Beijing, heroes of the county and country gather, there are countless new deeds every day, and the things that have just become popular will be forgotten in an instant. If you want to be famous here, it is ten times more difficult than in Changling, so the fifth Lun has been quite low-key since he entered Beijing, and he is not even too lazy to brush his reputation.
Wu Lun was humble: "It's me, but that's just an exaggeration of the villagers, not to be believed." ”
"Boyu is too humble."
Geng Chun touched his crown, which always looked like it was about to fall: "The last time I was resting, I went to visit my relatives of the same clan, Maoling Geng, and I heard people talk about you. There are not many people who can praise the original heroes. Moreover, the surname Boyu is too rare, as long as you hear it once, it is difficult to forget. ”
Well, it's really unforgettable, unless it's put together with the first, second, third, and eighth, it's silly to remember.
Also, did Hara Shibu praise himself? Fifth Lun really doesn't know, it seems that he has to go to Maoling to meet the original hero, and by the way, repair Wan Xuan's broken bow and return it to him.
At this time, the fifth Lun found an embarrassing thing.
Geng Chun knows him, but he doesn't know anything about Geng Chun, looking at his character, he should be a straightforward person, and the four words "long admired name" against his heart are really hard to say.
"Boshan studied in Taixue a few years ago, right?"
Jing Dan on the side came to help Wu Lun play the round, he stepped forward to report his name, and said with a smile: "You and I should be enrolled in the same year, but the teachers are different, but I have heard of the name of Julu Gengbo Mountain." ”
Jing Dan also introduced to the fifth Lun: "The father of Boshan is the Great Yin of Jiping County (Dingtao). ”
It turned out to be the son of two thousand stones, no wonder Geng Chun was only in his twenties, and he was able to go to Taixue and Xiaolian Langguan together. The new dynasty has a rule that if the "Yuanshi" is above 600 stones, their sons can go directly to Taixue to audit, and it is no wonder that Jing Dan wants to do 600 stones, in order to win at the starting line.
And when raising filial piety, two thousand stones often do some PY transactions: stagger the year and recommend each other's sons and nephews. Therefore, among the places of filial piety, there are very few people who are really "cold and innocent", like Wulun and Jing Dan, which are already considered outliers.
After Geng Chun and the two of them came to the remote place of the Lang Bureau, they couldn't help laughing when they talked about why they couldn't help laughing.
"It was ten years ago, and the hen in my house laid a double yellow chicken, and after the kitchen opened it, it was passed on to everyone to watch."
"At that time, in the city of Songzi, there was a Yan priest named Ximen Junhui, he was a good astronomical prophecy, and he was a guest at my house, so he said that this was auspicious, and it was related to the creation of the new room, and it should be dedicated to Chang'an."
"I was young at the time, and I was very puzzled, could it be that this chicken was sensed by the Son of Heaven thousands of miles away?"
These words amused the fifth Lun again, although this Geng Chun is the son of Da Yin, he is quite disrespectful to the emperor of the new dynasty, and he is also a potential thief.
Geng Chun's words were witty: "So I secretly took the eggs to the kitchen, put them in water and boiled them, sprinkled them with salt, and ate them in two bites, the taste was no different from ordinary chickens, and nothing strange happened after that." ”
"It's a pity that Ximen Junhui shouted that it was a pity, and what else could have been made a marquis through this, and you said that this is not ridiculous?"
It is indeed extremely funny, when the new dynasty was first established, the flatterers saw that Wang Mang liked the Wei Wei, so they frantically reported auspicious to the court, the piglets here grew three legs, and the wheat there gave birth to double spikes. Those who give fast are really made marquises, and the fifth-class lord system is greatly devalued.
In the end, even Chang'an people joked to each other when they saw each other on the street: "Aren't you the only one who hasn't received the Emperor's order?" ”
And in the "Eleventh Shanggong", there are also people who use Yu Wei to seek personal gain, and want to engage in "Zhou Zhao division and rule" to override Wang Mang. even used the "Book of Heaven" to marry Wang Mang's daughter, who was the lord of the Huang royal family who lived opposite Xuanmingli.
Wuwei Si ordered Chen Chongjin to say, the Wei Fu has become a double-edged sword, how can it go on like this? Wang Mang immediately took measures and announced that all those who dared to create their own products would be arrested and imprisoned. The talismans needed by the imperial court could only be issued by the "Five Powers General" under his direct command, which cut off the way of chaos.
"Therefore, that Ximen Junhui has not been mixed with the marquis, and now he is a guest of the straight marquis Wang She, and he is still talking about the Wei Wei."
The tuyere is gone, and now the one who still holds the dream of Wei Xiangrui is easily knighted, that is the real pig.
After Geng Chun left, Jing Dan looked at Wu Lun and said: "In this way, Bo Yu is the same as Huan Jun Mountain, don't you believe in Wei Xiangyi?" ”
Huan Junshan is the Huan Tan who was angry with the fifth Lun yin and yang at Yangxiong's house a few days ago, and he didn't come to apologize to him afterwards.
In the past ten years, in order to curry favor with Wang Mang, the courtiers have preached the habit of prophecy, and even Yang Xiong has not been exempt from vulgarity, but Huan Tan has been silent. He even criticized the auspicious theory in public, he is a well-known madman, and he holds the "theory of the candle flame of the gods", quite a picture of everyone is drunk and I am sober.
At this point, Wu Lun admires Huan Tan, but that person has such a bad personality that even if Yang Xiong recommends him, he is too lazy to make friends.
Hearing Jing Dan's question, Wu Lun shook his head and smiled: "I don't believe in Yu Wei. ”
"It's strange, but I believe it!"
Nonsense, although all these auspicious things that Wang Mang is making up are fake.
But he, the traverser himself, isn't he the most truly auspicious thing in this world!?
……
At the same time, in the Tai student dormitory in the south of the city, Qiang Hua was robbed and ridiculed by Zhuang Guang, an old student in the same dormitory.
This vulgar and rude auditor actually said that "all the words are false".
Zhuang Ziling laughed at Qiang Hua again: "Fu Ming is not led by the five Wei generals, and they are all in prison, and you can't get mixed up with the marquis if you go to offer the emperor's policy now, so you can only go to prison." ”
The clumsy Qiang Hua was so refuted that he couldn't speak, but fortunately, Liu Xiu made peace for the two of them, and pulled Qiang Hua out of the house without provoking Zhuangziling.
Qianghua had nowhere to spill his anger, so he only kicked the stones on the ground fiercely, but suddenly turned around and said, "Uncle Wen believes in auspicious words, right?" ”
Liu Xiu bowed his head: "Xiangyi, I believe it." ”
The Spring and Autumn Catastrophe is now in the world of success and mourning, which is irrefutable, the disaster and the mediocrity of the Han family are real, plus the lineage is three unique, and there is a reason for extinction.
But the new room that usurped the Han through the order of the talisman, is it really as Wang Mang preached, there are countless auspicious Rui, and the world is peaceful?
"Quite the opposite!"
As far as Liu Xiu knows, in the past ten years, there have been more disasters in the world.
Don't mention the small one, let's say the big one, the first three years of the founding of the People's Republic of China (11 years), the big river broke in Wei County, several counties east of the Fanqing River, and the imperial court did not know for some reason, it was not blocked for a long time, resulting in the river disaster becoming more and more intense, ravaging Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and it has been seven years so far. The Yellow River, which has been fixed for thousands of years since Dayu ruled the water, has been completely diverted, passing through the plains and Jinan, and flowing to the sea for thousands of times.
After coming to Chang'an, Liu Xiu heard from the same sect and the eighth correction from Lienwei County mention that in the third year of Tianfeng (16), Jingshui was in Lienwei Changpingguan Yongsai, and then changed the route. However, the general mourning chapter explained the talisman, thinking that this was an auspicious time to fill the water with soil, indicating that the new dynasty was going to destroy the northern Xiongnu, so the court ignored the flood, but desperately sent troops to the north.
I also heard that during the Tianfeng period, there was a Huanglong who fell to death in the Huangshan Palace, and the people rushed to the audience to tens of thousands, although the court refuted the rumors that it was false, but Liu Xiu believed it to be true.
Huang Long appeared in the world several times when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and now he has fallen to death, does it mean that the soil and morality of the new room will decline?
These things are hidden in Liu Xiu's heart, and he easily dare not say it to others, one of the purposes of his study of Shangshu is to get in touch with the true meaning of "Hong Fan", which explains the five elements, and understand the auspicious avenue in this world.
Liu Xiu looked into the distance: "As for Yu Wei, I believe it even more!" ”
As early as a few years after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, there was a woman in Chang'an City who shouted in public on the street: "Emperor Gao is furious, and he is interested in returning to my country." Otherwise, you will be killed in September! ”
The court said that this woman was crazy and exiled, but after hearing this, Liu Xiu felt that this might really be Emperor Gao's upper body.
Later, the story of "Liu Ziyu" was widely circulated, saying that it was the widow of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, and now he has grown up, and he once stopped the car of the minister of the new dynasty to report his identity, saying: "Liu's revenge, fun empty palace." ”
That person was exterminated by the clan, and the official refuted the rumor that Emperor Cheng's son was killed by Zhao Feiyan, and there was no Liu Ziyu at all. But there are rumors among the people that the real Liu Ziyu is still alive. Even Zhai Yi, the first loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who held high the banner to resist Wang Mang more than ten years ago, is still alive and lurking in the middle of nowhere, waiting for the times to change......
is exactly the same as Fusu and Xiang Yan, the sons of the late Qin Dynasty!
As a clan member of the Han family, Liu Xiuning believes in these wefts, and Wang Mang usurps the Han with prophecy, can't it be reversed?
And what he believes most is what his brother Liu Bosheng excitedly mentioned to him after hearing about it in Wancheng, the slogan that gradually gained a voice among the people.
"The Han family should be revived!"
……
In the afternoon, after the officials had finished practicing the laws taught by the chief, they were finally able to go home.
Geng Chun also got acquainted with the fifth Lun, and even invited them to visit Zhangtai Street together tomorrow, and both of them said that there was something at home and refused - in fact, the fifth Lun really wanted to go.
While he was talking, a Lang official who knew Geng Chun hurriedly walked over a few steps, and he didn't bother to avoid it, he spoke quickly, and directly changed to the Julu dialect, which was difficult for people in Guanzhong to understand, and said a few words to Geng Chun.
Geng Chun's face changed, and he only bowed his hand to Wu Lun: "I live in Guanqian Street Xiucheng, Bo Yu and Sun Qing must come to me in their spare time and taste the spirits of Yan Zhao's land." ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry, Jing Dan said: "Geng Boshan can't wait, he is going to Zhangtai Street tonight?" ”
Wu Lun shook his head: "No...... It's really a big deal. ”
He was very glad that he still had a little language talent, and when he learned the dialects of the world with Lao Yangxiong, a dialect expert, he learned it from north to south, and the awkward Julu dialect just happened to understand it.
Wu Lun said in a low voice: "They are saying that just now the Son of Heaven issued a secret edict, asking the five Wei Si to spread to the world, overturn corruption, and strictly investigate the county Yin and the county governor as profiteering and increasing production and getting rich!" “
Wuwei Si Ming is the supervision agency of the new dynasty, directly responsible to Wang Mang, supervising the public below, all those who do not use their lives, those who are treacherous, those who forge fake money, those who are arrogant and extravagant, those who leak the affairs of the province and the scholars, and those who thank the private door are all in the supervision.
This time, to sum it up in one sentence, Wang Mang wants to fight corruption!
Jing Dan was taken aback when he heard this: "This is true or false, why haven't we received the news?" ”
Emperor Wang Mang has always wanted to do things one by one, and Wu Lun and Jing Dan have no strong background backers in Beijing, and there is no need to notify a group of idle foreigners in advance of the edict issued by the government.
As for why Geng Chun and the others knew? He is the son of 2,000 stones, and he has a lot of in-laws and old relatives in Beijing, and he is well-informed. Can it be the same as them? As for Wang Long, the cousin of the Marquis of Qiongcheng...... This nerd cares about resignation and knows a fart.
Geng Chun's father is Jiping Dayin, and in this anti-corruption wave, he may be involved, so he is anxious. Not only Geng Chun, but many of the 2,000 stone disciples in the Lang Department learned the news, and they suddenly lost their leisure and walked quickly.
The officials of the new dynasty are not honest from top to bottom, and Wang Mang suddenly comes out like this, I am afraid that the whole world will have chickens and dogs.
Jing Dan smiled again after doubts: "Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with us, I was just a mere literary scholar before, and I have always been honest, even if Wuwei Si Ming finds out about me, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Wu Lun wanted to speak and stopped, and finally asked: "Sun Qing, Zi Xiaogong ...... him?"
"Boyu!"
Jing Dan understood the meaning of Wu Lun, and said solemnly: "Zhang Gong is strict and courteous, he has never been polluted with the turbidity, and he is definitely not a corrupt person. ”
Fifth Lun bowed his head, what he was worried about was that if their proposal was to fall, then as the liftees, Fifth Lun, Jing Dan, and even Wang Long and Xiao Yan would be implicated.
I hope that it is really as Jing Dan said, Zhang Zhan is the same on the outside and on the inside, and his sleeves are breezy, so the fifth Lun really has nothing to worry about......
That's weird!
"Brother Sun Qing, I can't wait for tomorrow, I'll leave tonight!"
After the fifth Lun finished speaking, he rode back to Xuanming quickly, called the fifth blessing who had not eaten yet, and immediately drove the carriage carrying briquettes to leave Chang'an.
The reason why he was so anxious was because Fifth Lun suddenly remembered that in the autumn, the Fifth Ba had bribed the county magistrate for his Taixue quota.
Although this matter is yellow, but those benefits are not refunded in the county order, if they are involved, the fifth clan may have a little trouble.
I don't know when this anti-corruption edict came from, Wuwei Si may have arrived in Liewei County to start a thorough investigation, and he has to take advantage of Xiu Mu to hurry home to see the situation, whether it is a blessing or a curse, so that he can deal with it.
But he was still a step too late.
At night, when the fifth Lun had not yet arrived at the Fifth Liwu Courtyard, he met the fifth grid who hurriedly wanted to go to Chang'an to find him.
When he met the little master's car, he heard his son Fifth Fu call him again and again, and the fifth Ge hurriedly reined in the horse, climbed down with a rolling belt, and held on to the fifth Lun's car railing and said in horror: "Young master, something is wrong." ”
"In the afternoon, Xianyu County Zai was arrested by officials from the court!"
"And just now, another superintendent came and took the old master to the county!"
