Not long after nightfall, Sun Yan and Tang Ai arrived at Xin Er's house.

Although Linghu Feng is not the Son of Heaven, he is just a king, but according to the national dynasty system, when the king dies, the ministers in the country must be mourned for three years like the important ministers of the court treat the deceased Son of Heaven. Sadness means that you don't need to wear weak hemp, but you can't drink, have fun, play, etc.

Speaking of this period of mourning for the courtiers after the death of the Son of Heaven.

In the middle of the Qin Dynasty, out of the convenience of the court's governance, but also the heart of the courtiers, the previous three years of national funeral was changed to after the burial of the Son of Heaven, the enthroned Son of Heaven served for three days, and those with a rank of more than 2,000 stone served for 36 days.

The first two sons of heaven of the Cheng Dynasty, Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen, father and son were both free and easy people, not only inherited the Qin system, but also further simplified the funeral, requiring the courtiers to remove the clothes after the burial of the Son of Heaven, and both left edicts, changing the custom of thick burials in the Qin period, and strictly ordering thin burials.

In the requirements of the thin burial, Emperor Wen is especially better than his father, although Emperor Wu is buried thin, but because of his amorous nature, the complex is the hegemony for the success, regret, Xie Shishi is still nostalgic for the world, or made four boxes of clothes for himself to accompany the funeral, Emperor Wen compared with it, his burial is thinner, he was blunt in the edict, saying that "the bone is painless and itchy, the mound is not the house of the gods", and the attitude towards life and death is extremely transcendent.

This dynasty Dingge, after the establishment, the first to inherit the Qin, Cheng system, but to the second Son of Heaven, Emperor Wu, in order to stabilize the rule, he began to vigorously advocate "filial piety", ,——Cheng, Wei and the two dynasties are not right, are "usurpation", "loyalty" is no face to mention, then can only start from "filial piety", after all, Yan Yun "filial piety out of loyal ministers", because, although the Tang Wu Emperor is still "three days of service", but set an example, for his father to serve the heart of mourning for three years, from then on, The ministers of more than 2,000 stone served the deceased Son of Heaven for three years, and gradually became customized.

After the fox returned to the sky, Yang Fu, Yang Chao, Zhang Gui and Xin Er chatted privately, talking about the changes in the national funeral of the previous generation and this dynasty, Yang Fu and Zhang Gui were just that, Yang Chao praised Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu of the Cheng Dynasty, and said that they "made meritorious deeds in troubled times, the father was affectionate and the son was chic, and the heroes of ancient and modern times." Xin Er felt that the actions of this father and son were a bit similar to Cao Cao's father and son in the original time and space, and he also admired the two of them very much. As for the Emperor Wu of Tang in this dynasty, the three-year mourning was regained in order to stabilize the foundation of the dynasty, and compared with the deeds of the father and son of the Cheng Dynasty, it cannot be said which is better or worse, but in Xin Er's view, it inevitably seems to be too scheming.

However, he said that during the national funeral, he was not allowed to have fun or drink, and at tonight's banquet, Xin Er replaced the wine with tea and buttermilk.

He greeted Sun Yan and Tang Ai at the door, let the two of them indoors, and sat down separately, Xin Er picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to listen to Sun Gong's teachings, but I was too busy a few days ago and has not been available." It is not until today that he has been able to do so. Please drink this water. ”

Although it was the first time to have dinner with Sun Yan, the two of them were both ministers of life, and they usually met quite a lot, and because both of them had a close relationship with Yang Yan, they became much more common, and they were no strangers, and they were already familiar with each other, and they could talk quite casually.

Yang Fu, Yang Chao Brothers, Zhang Gui, and the nobles of the two Hu people, Ba Ruoneng and Bald Boye, were also at the banquet.

Everyone raised a bowl together, or drank tea, or drank buttermilk, and drank it all.

Xin Er put down the wooden bowl and said, "Last time, I had to send someone to deliver a letter from Gong Sun, but I haven't thanked you in person. I drank a bowl of myself as a token of appreciation. ”

A servant girl who was kneeling beside Xin'er's desk poured him full of buttermilk.

Xin Er drank it all again.

"The last time I sent a letter", it was about the time when the Song Fang proposed to Linghu Feng to send Xin Er to cross the quicksand and attack Shuo Fang, although Sun Yan objected, but it had no effect, so after he left the palace, he immediately sent someone to find Xin Er and informed him of the news.

Sun Yan touched his beard and said, "With a lot of effort, why worry about it." Looking at the servant maid who served Xin'er, she asked, "I heard earlier that the first king gave a maid from the Western Regions to the general, but is this the maid?" ”

This servant girl has slightly blue eyes, a high nose bridge, a well-defined face, and very fair skin.

Xin Er smiled: "Exactly." "Tell this maid," go and pour tea for Sun Gong. Said to Sun Yan, "This woman has nothing else to do, only good at singing and dancing in the Western Regions, and has a taste of Hu Feng. ”

Don't look at Sun Yan's five big and three thick, but he is a vocal master in Kyoto, proficient in music, the qin of the Tang people, the pipa of the Western Regions, and the drum of the Hu people, he is a first-class performance level. There is a group of musicians and dancers in his family, which he personally trained, and is famous in the country; When Ling Hufeng was alive, he once coveted his group of music and dance girls, and went to his home to enjoy the performance.

The maid of the Western Regions could understand Tang dialect, and meekly went to the side of Sun Yan's case, serving tea and pouring water.

The dishes during the banquet include the famous dishes of the Tang people and the famous dishes of the Hu people.

All kinds of delicacies were served by the maidservants one after another.

There is a "sheep intestine soup", which is Sun Yan's favorite. This dish comes from Hu Fa, after the Tang people improved, add noodles in the soup, the soup is hot, the noodles are strong, in the early winter season, a bowl to eat, the whole body is hot, it is a good product to keep out the cold, the food of the full stomach.

Xin Er likes to eat roasted meat.

Nowadays, the popular system is to divide the food, and everyone has a servant of the meat beside him, who slices the meat, cooks it, and then serves it. Xin Er ate very quickly, and the person next to him couldn't catch up.

When the bald Bo Ye saw it, he gave up his hot meat to Xin Er quite with a smile.

Xin Er is not a person who twists, he accepts it calmly, and is feasting, when he swept a scene out of the corner of his eyes, his heart moved, picked up a few pieces of roasted meat, pointed to the servant beside Zhang Gui, instructed the maid, and said, "Take it and give it to him to eat." ”

Sun Yan was surprised and asked: "One servant is not enough for the general to eat, it can be seen that the general likes this food, but why is he not satisfied with his own intentions, dividing meat and slaves?" ”

Xin Er smiled and said: "I saw this slave repeatedly looking at the hot meat, and swallowed and coveted." Sun Gong, we have already sat and enjoyed, how can there be those who work hard and do not taste it? ”

Sun Yan was surprised when he heard this, and Gu said to Tang Ai, the Yang brothers, Zhang Gui, Ba Ruoneng, Bald Boye and others on the left and right: "The general is really a benevolent gentleman!" ”

Tang Ai smiled: "If you want to talk about the benevolence of Changshi, it is more than that. ”

"Oh? Anything else? I would like to hear about it. ”

Tang Ai put down the knife and dagger, picked up the feather fan, shook it twice, and said: "At the beginning of October, the general specially told Yang to join the army, and released all the criminal officials in the governor's prison and gave them a day to go home and reunite with their parents and wives. ”

October lance is the first day of October. October was originally the beginning of the year, and this day is still called "the head of the Qin year" by the people. In today's custom, on this day, every family in the south is millet and rice, and in the north, the newly ripened hemp and beans are used as soup and rice, and the family reunites and entertains guests and friends.

It was indeed a benevolent act to let the county officials in the governor's prison return home and reunite with their families.

Sun Yan asked, "How many prisoners have returned home?" Did anyone abscond? ”

Those prisoners were all military officials, and the lowly ones were also scattered generals, all of them dragged their families with their families, and there were many relatives and children who served and served in the army, even if they wanted to escape, they could not escape; In addition, those who have not committed capital crimes can be released after spending some time in prison, and those who have committed minor crimes may be able to return to their posts immediately.

Therefore, the number of people who returned to prison was counted the next day, and there was no less.

Tang Ai replied: "None of them absconded, and they all returned to prison the next day. ”

Sun Yan praised: "The long history is affectionate, and the prisoner knows the righteousness, which can be a good story!" ”

Xin Er said a few words modestly.

Talking and eating, when the time is shifted, everyone is full, remove the tableware, and ask the slave to serve tea and soup again.

These people here are all important military and political officials in Dingxi, and the topic has unconsciously turned to the current political situation at home and abroad.

Sun Yan said: "There was civil strife before the capture of Qin, and Pu Mao usurped it. After he led his troops back to the capital, he joined forces with his brothers and minions in the capital to break through the city gate, break into the palace, and count the ten major sins of the false master Pu Changsheng, and kill him together with Pu Guang.

"After that, if he is pretending to be a fake, he will give up the false position to his cousin, but his cousin is a concubine, how dare he respond? Pushing back and forth, in the end, Pu Mao sat on the pseudo seat.

"At first, when he counted Pu Changsheng's ten sins, he seemed to be 'righteous and awe-inspiring', but after ascending to the throne, I heard that he took all the pseudo-queens and pseudo-concubines of Pu Changsheng's harem for his own use. Hulu birds and beasts, in the end, are still crowned by monkeys! ”

Tang Ai shook his head again and again, disagreeing with Sun Yan's last sentence, and said: "Pu Maoxiang has a reputation for elegance, although he is Hu'er, he is like my Tang Shizi. Sun Gong, 'take the pseudo-queen and pseudo-concubine for your own use', with Ai expected, I am afraid it is a rumor, and it is not enough to believe. ”

The Hu people have the custom of taking brothers and sisters-in-law and brothers and wives. Pu Mao is Pu Changsheng's brother, and the Tang people are hostile to Pu Qin, and secondly, because of the customs of the Hu people, they take it for granted that he will do this kind of thing, because of the big spread, there are also some.

Pu Qin is a fierce rival of Dingxi, and Xin Er has paid a lot of attention to the situation of Pu Qin's domestic clans, famous ministers, and fierce generals, and has some understanding of Pu Mao, and agrees with Tang Ai's judgment.

However, he didn't want to lose Sun Yan's face, so he diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Whether Pu Mao has a wife and concubine who occupies Pu Changsheng, we don't know if we are not in Qin." Whether it's rumors or facts, it has nothing to do with us. However, after Pu Mao ascended the pseudo-throne, he lowered his name, no longer claimed to be the emperor, and changed his name to the Great Qin Heavenly King, but he was considered to be knowledgeable, and he knew that my dynasty was the right thing in the world, and he was somewhat self-aware. ”

Sun Yan knew Tang Ai's temper, unconventional, and talented, when Linghu Feng first ascended the throne, he had to restrain his temper because he had a black history of attacking Pig Nozawa, and he died, Linghu Feng died, and he was the third-in-command of the governor's mansion, Xin Er and because of the recommendation of the sheep, he valued his talent, deliberately bent himself to the corporal, and befriended him, and his stinky problem tended to show his head again.

Sun Yan's dignified secretary of state, and he himself is responsible for raising talents, and he has long been humble and self-conscious, knowing his nature, he does not oppose it in person, he just smiled, and said to Xin Er: "What the general said is very true. Although Pu Mao is a little bearded, he knows that he is a little clear, and he knows that there is no Hu man since ancient times, and I am still strong in luck, so I dare not be arrogant. ”

Tang Ai said: "Since the move of this dynasty to the left of the Dingjiang River, although the national fortune has not been lost, and the Central Plains and the north are stained with blood, my Xia people, Yin Yin is eager for the king's master, in order to solve the upside down, this is really the time when the hero uses his life!" Fang Jin's capture of Qin's civil strife, and the capture of Wei's northern attack on Rouran, it is a good opportunity for our country to recover Guannei and the Central Plains, if the imperial court can give Ai Bu 30,000 horses, in the middle of the month, Guannei and the Central Plains are also enough! ”

He sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that the first king Bintian, the country has no strength to send troops now. ”

Xin Er raised the bowl, drank it all for the third time, and said: "A thousand miles of ambition, when the big white floats!" ”

The people were speculative, and in the middle of the night, they dispersed.

Xin Er has bought a yard for Baruoneng in the city, and Baruoneng has also gone home.

The bald man had no place to live in the city, so Xin Er stayed in the guest house of his family.

The snow is falling non-stop, and the wind is biting.

Xin Er and Sun Yan and others gathered for half a night, and in Song Hong's house, Song Hong and Song Fang, a pair of uncles and nephews, also talked until this time.
