Chapter 32 Well-known double standard

Walking out of the first Gu Gate in the east of the south of the city, the Tai students from Nanyang were resting and drinking water in the gate pavilion, but a voice sounded coldly beside Liu Xiu.

"Uncle Wen, I'll follow behind, but I can hear every word clearly!"

Liu Xiu turned around, but saw that it was a childish man who was wearing a Confucian crown, who was as tall as his shoulders and his face was full of urgency.

This person's name is Deng Yu, the word Zhonghua, only thirteen years old, a full ten years younger than Liu Xiu.

Unlike Liu Xiu, who waited for several years to become a student, Deng Yu is a well-known prodigy, and other people's children are still learning "Analects" and "Filial Piety", but he can memorize 300 poems and scriptures. In addition, the Deng family is a Xinye clan with strong financial resources, Deng Yu is young, and he was selected as the first official school in Nanyang.

Because Liu Xiujia and Xinye Deng are in-laws, the two came together and were very close.

Liu Xiu took him as a younger brother, and his big mouth and thick lips showed a smile: "What did you hear?" ”

Deng Yu leaned in and whispered: "Of course, 'Shi Eun should be the ruling Jinwu, and marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua'!" Okay, Uncle Wen has already taken a fancy to the Yin lady. ”

The Yin clan is also a big clan in Xinye County, and the Deng clan is related, on March 3 this spring, the people and out of the Jiangzhu pond and marsh, for the flow of the cup of water drink. Liu Xiu was invited by the Deng family to Xinye, and saw the lady of the Yin family from a distance, and saw that her demeanor was moderate, and she saw that her appearance was very beautiful, so she was pleased, and it was love at first sight.

Deng Yu was also present at that time, and he was sensitive to Liu Xiu, who noticed that Liu Xiu was different, and when he heard his ambition today, he immediately knew why Liu Xiu refused to marry in the county several times.

It's just that the age of the lady of the Yin family, like Deng Yu, is a full ten years younger than Liu Xiu, and she is still a child.

Liu Xiu was not ashamed, but said: "When you hear it, you hear it, if you are young, you admire your parents, and if you know how to be lustful, you will admire Shaoai, every word I say is sincere, and it is not a joke, there is nothing to be ashamed of." ”

"Although the lady of the Yin family is young, I will wait until she is fifteen years old, and then ask my brother to propose marriage for me, and if I get the permission of the Yin family, I will be 'if I have a wife, I will admire my wife'."

He became serious again: "Zhonghua, but don't spread this word, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the lady, that is Liu Xiu's sin, and I can't pay for it with a hundred deaths." ”

Deng Yu knew that Liu Xiu was a cautious person, and when he saw that he was serious, he hurriedly said that he would never leak it.

I didn't want Liu Xiu to laugh and said: "I'm talking about the second half of the sentence, the first half of the sentence, I wish you could send it back to Nanyang, so that my brother Liu Bosheng can know." ”

mentioned his brother Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu's eyes were full of longing and admiration: "I am destined to be inferior to Bosheng's generosity in this life, but if he hears that I want to fight for the eunuch, he should be happy." ”

"At least, Bo Sheng will no longer ridicule, saying that Liu Xiu has no ambition, he only likes to plough the crops, cultivate in family affairs, and conform to the clan party, this life is at best, but he is just a villager!"

……

"What, Yangxiong also lives in Xuanming?"

Fifth Lun and Jing Dan arrived at the Lang Office, which was located outside the walls of the North Palace, and joined Wang Long. Speaking of last night's chance encounter with Yangxiong, Wang Long became excited.

"Boyu, Sun Qing, how lucky you are to be neighbors with Yangziyun! If I can, I am willing to exchange the dwelling place of the North Que Jiadi with you! ”

Change, change, change...... Look, is this talking about human words?

The fifth Lun wants to roll his eyes, Beique Jiadi, which is the real estate of the dignitaries and relatives in the second ring of the Beijing Division, is sandwiched by the Shoucheng room, Guigong Palace, and Beigong, and the south is the center of Chang'an: Beique Square, which is simply a prime location in the city center.

And Xuanmingli is far away in the corner of the third ring road in the middle of nowhere, which means that he and Jing Dan have to get up early in the morning every day, squeeze the crowd in the early morning, and rush over for several miles. Wang Long can get up slowly and eat a full meal, and then go out to cross the road, and then go to the Lang Office!

Different real estate, expensive and expensive.

Wang Long didn't mean to show off, he was indeed Yangxiong's little fan brother, and began to talk about the achievements of this great writer: "The "Discipline Chapter" that we used to read and write in elementary school was written by Yangxiong. In terms of rhetoric, the world often juxtaposes him with Sima Xiangru, called 'Yang Ma', and looks, this is Yang before and after the horse, not 'Ma Yang'. ”

Then Wang Long praised Xiong's works, from the early years of "Anti-Lisao" and "Shu Du Fu", to the four great fu after entering the dynasty, there are many beautiful words.

"The Yangtze Cloud is not only strange and ancient, but also profoundly conceived, and I often think that those words and sentences are by no means something that people can come up with. No, in the future, I will also move to Xuanming and ask him for advice. ”

Wang Long said that he didn't even enter the Lang Office, and just wanted to go to Yangxiong to ask for the way to resign, and Wu Lun and Jing Dan hurriedly stopped this idiot.

At this time, filial piety and honesty from all over the country also arrived at the Lang Office, there were hundreds of people, there was no way, the recruitment was expanded.

The fifth Lun saw Xiao Yan from the same county, but Xiao Yan stayed away from them with disgust, and only interacted with the noble relatives and children of other counties.

Jing Dan told Wu Lun that although they were selected to be filial piety and honesty to join the court, they were only the lowest-level "wailang".

"Those who are in the province are Zhonglang, those who are called Lang in the palace, and those who are outside the palace are outsiders, and the rank is the lowest, and they can't even enter the Shoucheng room."

Of course, if you don't know the bottom line, how can you put all the hundreds of people into the center of the country? At present, they do not even have the qualifications to hold the halberd and guard the palace room, and it is still too early for them to be released to become county officials, so they must first familiarize themselves with the imperial court system, documents and laws in the central government, and even the Spring and Autumn Prison Sentence.

The most important thing is that it has to go through a few months of ...... unique to the new dynasty Political education?

The official in charge of them was "General Zuo Zhonglang", who showed his face at the beginning and symbolically said a few empty words.

Then he left in a hurry, and asked a few old Confucian doctors to preach to everyone, with an article called "Drama Qin Meixin" as the first lesson of the "groom officials".

This is indeed a strange article, the beginning of the chapter from the Xuanhuang is not divided, the heaven and the earth are mixed, talking about the beginning of the people, the beginning of the emperor, and all of a sudden talking about the three generations of prosperity.

After the heyday of the three generations, it is difficult to continue, and the etiquette collapses and the happiness is broken, so there is Confucius's "Spring and Autumn" work, which depicts the ideal society of the three generations: the old are supported, the young are taught, men and women have no way, there is no road to pick up, and all people's morality, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and wisdom are perfect.

Then, the "Ji Shi" of the old Confucian king Ling Chi came.

This article thinks that Qin Qu Xirong did not know what etiquette was, and called the law of Shang Yang an evil government. As for the sins of destroying ancient texts and burning books, it is even more difficult to count! That's why he died.

Look, what a drama Qin Zheng is!

Then it was the turn of the Han Dynasty, this part of the content is not much, mainly accusing the Han family of inheriting a lot of Qin system shortcomings, even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, but he didn't love the way of the sage enough! This led to the emperor's canon not being supplemented, Wang Gang was relaxed and unregulated, and as for what Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did to "overlord miscellaneous", it was a big mistake.

To sum up, in the eyes of Confucianism, the Han system is still not perfect, so the mandate of heaven has shifted.

When the article began to talk about "catching the new order", the style of painting changed suddenly.

The world seems to have revived its aura, what kind of Xuanfu spiritual contract, Huang Rui gushed out, and there were forty-eight auspicious Rui in one year, and they came together to celebrate Wang Mang's dynasty.

The Qin and Han dynasties repaired the palace and the temple was a toss, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty Wu Feng Chan was inconsiderate of the people's feelings, and the northern Xiongnu was troubled and provocative. In the same way, the new dynasty changed the gods, repaired the hundred rituals, Mingtang Yongtai, built nine temples, and sent troops from all sides is "Shangyi Xianrank, spectacular and extremely filial piety, Hongye Guangde", and the article also encouraged Wang Mang to go to Mount Tai to seal a Zen.

Look at how beautiful the New Deal is!

Fifth Lun is stupid, the author of this article is definitely the first double-standard dog in ancient times.

Thinking about it again, I can't help but be amazed, as long as we change morality, politics, benevolence and righteousness to the word "democracy", it will be much easier to understand, and the well-known double standard routine at home and abroad in ancient and modern times is really the same.

As for the article that under the rule of the new dynasty, "hundreds of workers are condensed, and the achievements are happy", forgive the fifth Lun for being blind, he has not seen it along the way from Changling to Chang'an, but has seen the end of the dynasty.

Finally, the two old Confucians summarized the full text, saying that in the past, the five emperors inherited the three emperors, and the three kings followed the five emperors, all following the ancient way. The Qin Dynasty violated this ideal and died secondly, while the new chamber was diligent and conscientious and worked in this direction, so it is worthy of praise.

"The new policy of the Son of Heaven not only inherits the will of heaven, but also inherits the way of the sage.

They would never have thought now that the new dynasty would die in one lifetime, which is more dramatic than the drama of Qin, where is the beauty?

Fifth Lun was still sighing there, but he didn't expect that the next sentence was to ask everyone to copy down this article and go home to read it.

After copying, it was already afternoon, Fifth Lun peeked at Jing Dan, Jing Sunqing's face was also a little strange, and he only shook his head at Fifth Lun, it seemed that his feelings were almost the same. These words also deceive those who read and read stupidly, and it is a joke for Jing Dan, who has caught up all the way from the grassroots.

After finally finishing this political class, Wu Lun touched his sore wrist and came out and couldn't help but ask Wang Long: "This article is brilliant, can you know who wrote it?" ”

In Wu Lun's view, the writing is indeed gorgeous, but the whole article is flattering, completely ignoring the facts, the author must be Wang Mang's royal literati.

Wang Long didn't notice anything wrong, and naturally smiled: "Don't Boyu know? Ten years ago, the one who made this "Drama Qin Meixin Said" was Yangxiong! ”

……

Today's trip to the Lang Department was not without gains, and the fifth Lun received his official robe and seal ribbon, and the copper seal yellow ribbon representing the middle-level officials was hung on the all-black soap robe, which was very energetic.

From this day on, he is a 300-stone officer, also known as a "corporal".

The officials of the new dynasty were clearly hierarchical, imitating the Zhou-time system, from the highest duke, marquis, earl, son, and male five ranks, plus the attached city as the princes. The middle 2,000 stone is called Qing, 2,000 stone is said to be the upper doctor, the second thousand stone is said to be the middle doctor, the thousand stone is called the lower doctor, the 600 stone is called the Yuanshi, the 500 stone is called the life sergeant, the 400 stone is called the sergeant, the 300 stone is called the corporal, and the rank is 100 stone is called the Shushi.

Calculated down, there are a total of 15 levels, and the fifth Lun is a 2-level petty official, and he is at the bottom of this official pyramid.

And Yang Xiong, who once climbed to the Zhongsan doctor who was more than 2,000 stones, also sang a lot of praises for Wang Mang as Wang Mang's royal literati, replacing the Han Dynasty.

It's just that what has happened in the past ten years has made this literati who should have mixed well in the new dynasty lose his job, and now he is alone, and his family is surrounded by walls?

With questions, Wu Lun couldn't help but look at his family Tangyu, Yang Xiong came again, and was chatting with Wang Long, who came over, while rubbing wine and food.

Wang Long just came to visit and presented his previous work "Qiu Ju Fu", saying that he wanted to learn from Yangxiong, and also wrote some elegant essays on the country's economy and wilderness, righteousness and glory, and passed on to future generations.

Yang Xiong looked at this posterity with a complicated expression, shook his head and refused: "The one who resigns, the boy carves the insect seal also, the strong man does not do it, I haven't written the fu for many years." ”

At this time, the servant Sixi came up with a meal, disgusted that Yang Xiong came uninvited, so he ruthlessly pierced him: "Yang Weng, this is not right, how often do I see it, when someone with good deeds comes to you with wine and food to ask you for advice, you never refuse?" ”

These words made Yangxiong's old face red, he has been in a difficult situation in the past few years, and in addition to being knowledgeable and having no long things, he can only rely on "selling knowledge" to mix some wine money, and eat people's mouths short.

But those so-called study tour disciples just came for his literary name, and they broke off their friendship after using it. Only Hou Ba, a student from Julu, is more sincere, and has always treated Yangxiong as a teacher, carrying food every few days to clean the courtyard for him.

Wang Long was too fascinated by Cifu, how could he let go of this "Sima Xiangru after the first person", the money his family had, so he said that he was willing to come to visit again with the bundle and wine, hoping that Yangxiong could accept him as a disciple.

Hearing the word "wine", Yangxiong couldn't help but lick his lips, and his expression became very hesitant.

Although he was old and poor, he was not without opportunities to earn money. When the "Fa Yan" was written, there were rich people in Shu who were willing to pay 100,000 yuan, so they hoped to leave their names in the book. Yang Xiong flatly refused, saying that the rich are unrighteous, just like the deer in the pen and the cow in the pen, how can they be recorded at will?

But at this time and that time, the wine worm in his stomach didn't spare him, and Yang Xiong could only sigh in the end: "Since the gentleman is sincere, I will give you some pointers." ”

"I don't really have much talent."

Yang Xiong, who can be regarded as one of the best resignation in the Han Dynasty, said humbly: "But only one point is recognized, and the foundation must be solid." Remember this sentence well, if you can read a thousand poems, you will be good at it! ”

Wang Long nodded desperately and listened very carefully.

Yang Xiong said with a smile: "I have collected almost all the ancient and modern resignations over the years, from Qu Zi to the Shu people when Emperor Xuan of this dynasty, everything is available. Wenshan, go and read them all ten times, transcribe them three times, and come back to me! ”

Wang Long didn't notice that something was wrong, he just thought that he had mastered the secret book, and happily followed Hou Ba to Yangxiong's house.

Fifth Lun and Jing Dan were listening, and they almost didn't laugh out loud, if they really pointed out casually, it seems that Yangxiong has been clean for at least five or six days.

Yangxiong didn't go home either, he was still here, his eyes looked at Wu Lun from time to time, and he stopped talking. Jing Dan understood, and immediately got up and went back to the house, and only then did he limp around with his cane and bow his hand towards the fifth Lun.

"Yesterday, I was rescued by Boyu, and in front of Huan Junshan and my disciple Gongfu, I saved a little face for the old man. My family is poor, and there is nothing but an empty wine jar, and there is really nothing to repay. ”

Yang Xiong raised his head and said sincerely: "There is one in seventy, and in this life, if there is anything to be proud of, it is a wide range of knowledge." ”

"If Boyu is like Wang Long, if he wants to learn a piece of knowledge from the old man, I will definitely teach it wholeheartedly and will not accept a penny."

Fifth Lun didn't have much enthusiasm: "The kid is from the countryside, lonely and unheard, except for resignation, I really don't know what the doctor will do?" Could it be the Pentateuch? ”

Yangxiong shook his head and said: "I am young and studious, but I am not good at chapters and sentences, and I am not very good at the Five Classics." ”

He and Huan Tan are not typical Confucian scholars, and they are disgusted with the vulgar Confucians who have spent their lives in the chapters and verses of the Five Classics, thinking that it is enough to read the original text and understand the words of the sages, and use their time to try to find a new path.

Yang Xiong is fascinated by Lao Zhuang's metaphysics, and Huan Tan is very convinced of atheism, but this road is not easy.

And Yang Xiong is indeed a prolific talent: "I am so old and happy, and I want my articles to become famous in future generations." ”

"I thought that the scripture was no greater than "Yi", so I pretended to be "Taixuan".

"There is nothing greater than the Analects, and the words of the law are written."

"Shi Mo is good at "Cangjie" and "Training".

"箴 (zhēn) is not good at "Yu Zhen", as "Twelve State Proverbs"."

"Words are similar to Mo Li, and they are praised a lot for the four endowments."

"As for other chapters, there are "The Book of the King of Shu", "Ode to Zhao Chongguo" and so on."

Having said so much, Yang Xiong didn't mention "Drama Qin Meixin" at all, that is his most widely circulated work, and it has become a propaganda textbook for the imperial court.

Referring to his proud works, Lao Yangxiong also regained a little self-confidence, and said with a smile: "I don't know which one Boyu wants to learn?" ”

But Fifth Lun refused very simply.

"No, I don't want to."
