Chapter 58: Sect Master
Fifth Lun thanked the local tyrants and expressed his kindness, but the imperial court did not allow him to redeem the West Sea, and he did not dare to take any money and grain. and after openly drinking with them in the nearby pavilions, they dispersed happily.
When only Jingdan was left, Wu Lun smiled and said, "Where will Sun Qing go?" It's settled. β
Jing Dan said: "It's decided, Gude Hou Xiang." β
is named Hou Xiang, but in fact it is no different from the county governor, but where is Gude?
"In Shuoqiao County, Youzhou."
Wait, he knows in Youzhou, where is the tune of Beijing and Liaoning in the future?
Jing Dan was also very helpless, and only after reporting the new name and old name did he know: "Shuo Diao is the old Shanggu County, in Youzhou, border, north of the Xiongnu left and Wuhuan." β
As soon as I heard that it was a poor place, Wu Lun was a little ashamed: "Blame me, I'm afraid that Sun Qing took Lang Guan to ask for my life and was hated by Wuwei Si, so he was moved to the border county." β
"What do you have to do with Boyu?" Jing Dan laughed: "A foreigner like you and me who has no background in the court, doesn't his career have to start from a small remote county?" β
This is a tacit unspoken rule, and Jing Dan didn't go to Jing Shang, who is the "Taishi Xizhong", to have a relationship, but was only willing to accept this appointment.
"Don't hide it from Boyu, although I was born in Taixue and served as a clerk in the county, I have always admired the style of the two generals of the former Han Wei and Huo. When he arrived in Shanggu Gude County, he might have the opportunity to take the county soldiers to resist Hu Lu and realize his long-cherished wish. β
Jing Dan said: "It's a pity that Boyu lost Lang Guan." β
Fifth Lun doesn't regret that he, like Jing Dan, has no backers, and he can eat well in the countryside of the county after accumulating fame, but it is not easy to let Chang'an go.
Those who control the appointment and dismissal of personnel may deliberately send famous people to counties where birds don't, which is worse than the Shanggu where Jing Dan is going.
If you rush to a place like Rinan County, Jiaozhou, it will be too late for the fifth Lun to cry, and Emperor Shangao will be far from rebelling? Okay, it will take more than half a year to go, and it will take more than half a year to return, and the road will be gone for a year and a half. Maybe he just arrived, and the news came that Daxin had died half a year ago, and when he ran back, he found that the clan had already been slaughtered.
In this era, the traffic is basically separated by heaven and man, and there is no need to plan the Central Plains, so retreat to the next best thing and be the emperor of the territory in Southeast Asia.
Not to mention that there are terrible epidemics, water and soil adaptation, and the fatality rate is extremely high, and the traverser can't stand it, unless the local filial piety returns to office, it is almost the same as exile to death.
Since the lieutenant county and the clan have been selected as the basic plate, they will be managed first, with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, it is easy to empty the bamboo basket and throw away the sesame and watermelon together.
In order to avoid risks, the fifth Lun simply resigned from Lang Guan, which allowed the eighth correction to avoid becoming a prisoner, and it could be regarded as the last value.
Fifth Lun asked about the appointment of two other friends, Geng Chun and Wang Long, and learned that both of them stayed in Chang'an.
"Geng Boshan is a man of words."
"Wang Wenshan is a co-worker, all of whom belong to the Jiuqing Yuanshi, with a rank of 600 stones."
Nayan is the great Sinong of the former Han Dynasty, and Gonggong is the new name of Shaofu. Under Jiuqing, the new dynasty placed three doctors, and three doctors were placed in each department to handle the political affairs of each department.
These two families have a valve to read, so they directly stay in office as Beijing officials, which is too real.
Fifth Lun and Jing Dan had no one to help arrange their futures, and the only "backer", Lieutenant County Grand Yin Zhang Zhan, was still a person who fell on his back.
But after all, they still went to the county government to meet Zhang Zixiao and explain their future.
Hearing that Jing Danyuan was transferred to Shanggu, and the fifth Lun directly lost Lang Guan, Zhang Zhan felt a pity. The last time Wu Lun got into a lawsuit, he wrote a letter and didn't help, but now seeing that the future of the two is not good, Zhang Zhan was ashamed for a while.
After Jing Dan said goodbye, Zhang Zhan called Wu Lun and asked him about the Yicang and Yiqian prepared at home, and said: "There is something, but I want to discuss it with Boyu." β
β¦β¦
On the way back to the fifth mile, the fifth Lun was a little apprehensive.
He didn't care about the official position, but his grandfather was different. The fifth tyrant is an official fan, and like many elders, he pins what he didn't get on his children and grandchildren. The fifth Lun still remembers that on the day he was raised as filial piety, the fifth tyrant knelt in front of the ancestral spirit with a candle and cried with joy.
The first few times he resigned as a petty official, but now he took the initiative to give up his good future, and he was afraid that the fifth tyrant would not be able to accept it.
When he saw the big tree like a canopy, he found that there were already many people waiting under the tree, led by the fifth tyrant who carried the dove staff as a stick.
"Father, my grandson is back."
The fifth Lun stepped forward and bowed to his grandfather, not saying a word for a long time, a little afraid.
The fifth tyrant turned as usual, and scolded and said: "Since the 30th of last month, I haven't seen your shadow for almost ten years, do you still have a home in your heart?" β
"Father, I ......"
The fifth tyrant stopped the fifth Lun from going down and said: "It's good to come back, it's not easy to live in peace, the old man has been there a few times when he was young, but he only thinks that the sky in the city is smaller than the countryside, and people are locked in it, like pigs and sheep in the pen." Looking at the pedestrians walking on the road, they are completely unnamed, which makes people panic. β
"The house is narrow and expensive, there is no firewood to burn in winter, I want to go hunting in the summer, only to learn that it is a royal garden, I can't go in, and the water is a little salty and unpleasant!"
After counting the big city, the fifth tyrant said: "It's still safe to be in my hometown, and I have relatives to help me do things, so I don't have to work alone." It is also easy to get into trouble, and he is punished for some reason. It's good to be back! Compared with being an official, living safely is the most important thing! β
Hearing these words, Wu Lun suddenly wanted to cry, when the wanderer who was far away from his hometown went home, didn't he want to understand the most? He couldn't help but be relieved, it seemed that the fifth tyrant was relieved about this matter.
But after entering the dock yard, I realized that there was not.
But he saw that two fine oak planks had been erected in front of the hall, on which were written the matter of the fifth lun for the lang.
No, this valve reading has to be closed after the death of the coffin, what are you writing it when I am alive?
"Father, this ......"
"What, the former Lang Guan, it's not Lang Guan?" The fifth tyrant is very insistent, but he just won't let it go.
Okay, yes, yes, after "half-day filial piety", there will be more titles of "two-month wailang".
Looking at the fifth tyrant who was uneasy in his heart, Wu Lun only hoped that the old man could take good care of his body and wait until the day when he became stronger and bigger.
When the fifth Lun returned to the room, the fifth grid came over and asked cautiously, "Old master, is the wax sacrifice still going on?" β
"Yes, of course!"
The fifth tyrant seems to want to make up for the regret of his grandson's resignation with a grand ceremony:
"You have to do a lot of work!"
β¦β¦
The first day of the first month of the summer calendar is the time for people all over the world to celebrate the New Year.
But since the new dynasty was created, Wang Mang changed December to the beginning of the year, and issued a decree: change customs, not allowed to celebrate the old year, but to celebrate the "New Year"!
The fifth Lun calculated, the New Year of this new dynasty is about the same date as the New Year's Day of the Western calendar in later generations, which is really a coincidence.
In short, since eleven years ago, the first day of the first lunar month was abolished by Wang Mang as a traditional festival, and the officials were not allowed to rest and bathe, and the people were not allowed to celebrate.
The other state and county governments can't manage too much, but the lieutenant is on the edge of the capital, so he still has to be more restrained. It's just that the people still have no sense of the "New Year" on the first day of the lunar month, so they took a middle day to celebrate the wax sacrifice and the New Year together.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the fifth mile is more lively than the autumn day, and the slaughter of pigs and sheep is naturally indispensable, but the main sacrifice today is not fresh meat, but the wax that is made after the autumn.
Salt is a scarce commodity in Guanzhong, and as soon as the monopoly price of Wujun and Liuzhen government increases, it will be even more expensive. But the rarer it is, the more important it is for the ancestral gods to taste it first.
A chicken and duck specially fed to make cured meat are salted and hung on the kitchen beam to dry, so that they can change the meat quality little by little in the cold weather, and the meat quality changes little by little in the smoke and fire, and in the middle of winter, it is the time when the taste is the most fragrant.
This year, the fifth mile of the wax festival opened very large, and all ethnic groups in Linqu Township were invited to come to gather.
As a squire celebrity, the fifth Lun has great appeal, and before the morning meal, all families come to the door one after another.
The first to come was the fourth family, who followed the fifth Lun to make money in the briquette business, and his family brought a goose.
"The best Hedong goose was bought hundreds of miles away, and the salt was made of white salt from the Jiechi pond, which was as salty as me!" Fourth Xian quipped and handed the sacrifice to Fifth Lun with both hands.
Then arrived at the Seventh Clan, Brother Biao carried a lot of wax deer breasts, saying that although he was not as rich as the Fourth Xian, he was credible and sincere, and personally took a bow and knife to hunt in the mountains and forests of several counties in the north of the county, and shot a doe: "Skinned and disemboweled, each knife is cut by his own hands." β
The gifts of the sixth and third families did not have so many flowers, which were ordinary pork hind legs and front legs, and the color was golden by the smoke.
And when the eighth straight came to the door, the fifth Lun greeted him, but saw that he had brought some rabbits.
Seeing this, Wu Lun sighed: "Ji Zheng's favorite thing to eat, but it's a pity that he can't come." β
Thinking that his most beloved youngest son had gone to the West Sea, his eighth straight eyes turned red. Although this matter has something to do with the Fifth Lun, in order to save the Eighth Correction, Bo Yu gave up all the Lang officials, so as to avoid the humiliation of the Eighth Correction, and he didn't have to be a prisoner when he got there.
In addition, the eighth Jiao wrote a text message and sent it back before leaving, saying that he hoped that the eighth family could follow Boyu well, and not make his own decisions like him. Therefore, the eighth correction is only grateful to the fifth Lun, and does not dare to complain.
Fifth Lun comforted him: "Uncle Zong, please rest assured, when the time is right, I will send someone to try to bring Ji Zheng back." β
The eighth straight is grateful, and the last to arrive is the first clan, not only the first level of holding wax, but even his stubborn old father First Willow is also here!
Fifth Lun and Fifth Tyrant glanced at each other, and they both felt a little surprised, this old man was finally willing to bow his head and give in.
The sacrifices sent by each family have been gathered, tied with silk ribbons and prepared to be sent to Liren Hall in the afternoon, dedicated to the ancestors to taste the feast, and the fifth Lun first beckoned everyone to enter the dock courtyard with morning food.
Except for the second family, which was involved in Guo Jie's case in the early years and was relocated again, from one to eight, seven families gathered together for the first time.
After everyone sat down in the hall according to their age and seniority, the eighth straight who sat on the west seat sighed: "How many years have we not been in Linqu Township?" β
"It's been decades." Dongxi's fifth tyrant was also embarrassed, but when he saw the first willow sitting on crutches beside the first pass and sullen, he took the initiative to go over and toast him with a glass of wine to show reconciliation.
The first willow also drank it, but his face was not very good-looking, and he was used to being the boss, and it was still difficult to accept his family's retreat to the edge.
The small landlord's house also has no joy of silk and bamboo, that is, the maidservants in the clan play and sing casually, drink to the hearty, the eighth straight up for the fifth Lun, and read a poem on the spot.
"Tang Tang Zhihua, ιδΈι‘ι‘ (wΔi), all people today are like brothers.
The power of death and mourning, brother Kong Huai, ει° (xΓ) θ£ (pΓ³u) η£, brother begging η£.
The spine is in the original, the brothers are in trouble, and every good friend is always sighing.
Brothers are on the wall, outside their affairs, every good friend, there is no Rong! β
The seventh biao didn't understand it, and scolded: "The eighth family, can you speak human words?" β
The sixth calf, the fifth tyrant and others thought so.
The eighth straight looked at these uneducated relatives with disgust, and said: "This is a poem of brotherly affection sung during the banquet of the Zhou people." It means that clan brothers, like the flower branches of Tangtang, are interdependent, and when they are killed, they are collected by brothers, and when they are in distress, they are rescued by brothers. β
Fifth Lun answered: "Yes, and the relationship between brothers is just like the poem says, although there is a small fight when the door is closed, but once there is external humiliation, we must work together!" β
After hearing this, the fifth tyrant stood up suddenly: "I think you have all noticed that the world has become more and more difficult in the past few years. β
Since Xin Mang came to power, Wujun Liuzhen has been like a hand stuck in the throat of several families, restricting their expansion. In order to cope with the war in the north, west, and south, the taxes became heavier and heavier, and the big and powerful complained, and it was not easy for the small landlords.
The first and fourth have more to say, last year's anti-corruption, when the jackals did not fight, but the two poor foxes of them were bald, if it weren't for the fifth Lun with two briquettes to make some money, it would be sad for many years.
Everyone was related, and the fifth tyrant took the opportunity to pinch a chopstick, and it was easily broken with only one finger.
"A chopstick is easy to break."
He put seven chopsticks in his hand and folded them lightly.
An embarrassing scene appeared, with a click, the chopsticks were still broken, who made the fifth tyrant brute force, he had to forcibly pinch them, pretending that he didn't break them: "Seven are hard to break......"
"Chopsticks are like this, so is the family, in this world, brothers and villagers should huddle together to keep warm, and spend the fierce year together."
The fifth tyrant proposed: "We are originally a family, and we were forcibly split by the Emperor of Han two hundred years ago and became the first to the eighth. Now it is time to reunite as a clan, and elect a virtuous and respected suzerain to come out and lead us to worship our ancestors! β
Who is the most respected?
The fifth Lun on the side didn't speak, but only sat upright, enduring not to lean back tactically.
"Who else but Boyu!"
The eighth straight began to recite the poem again: "I have children, Bo Yu teaches them." β
He pointed to the fourth salty and the first pass: "You have a charcoal domain, and you have a fish to breed it." β
Finally, he spread his hands forward and said with emotion: "If it is not Boyu, who can inherit it?" β
The fourth salty palm agreed, and the first pass glanced at his silent father First Liu, and also seconded it.
The seventh biao stood up and praised the fifth Lunyi Bo Yuntian, who could even forgive his family for doing such a foolish thing, and was favored and admired by many heroes of the lieutenant and the Jing lieutenant.
If the fifth Lun is willing to mix in the rivers and lakes, it is also possible to become the premier county hero of the lieutenant, this kind of person, the seventh Biao is naturally willing to be the younger brother.
The sixth and third are not very good at talking, so they can only echo: "I am the same!" β
Everyone is looking forward to it, and they all want to invite the fifth Lun to be the sect master, but he himself has to be humble.
"Lun is young and weak, there are so many Kun Father brothers and elders here, if I am based on seniority, this sect master will not be able to take my turn."
Everyone said that regardless of age and qualifications, only look at virtue and knowledge, but Bo Yu has been a Lang official in Beijing and has seen the world.
"It's better to be fair and speak freely."
How can it be judged, to give everyone the illusion that "the suzerain is willingly elected by everyone", and then it will be a lifelong system.
Fifth Lun smiled: "It's better to have one person from each family and raise your hand to indicate whether you want to take it or not." β
This is a good idea, the fifth tyrant represents the fifth clan, and he was the first to raise his hand high, and then a pair of tiger eyes swept at everyone present, and the sound was like thunder.
"Bo Yu is the sect master, who agrees with you and who is against!?"
