1.6 Princely Pleasures
Give things to the Yellow Gate Squire. "Han Guanyi": 'Give the Huangmen squire, six hundred stones, no members. The attendants are left and right, giving the envoys in the matter, and passing through China and foreign countries. 'For the officials who serve the emperor's left and right, convey the edict.
Liu Bei and the generals thanked the edict.
This is the longest and most literary edict Liu Bei has ever seen. The quote is from Xunzi's "Minister Dao".
The edict cites scriptures, and the gun is carried with a stick.
It is not so much that the edict and Liu Bei listened, but that it was the three princes and four mansions who had repeatedly opposed the emperor, and they were loyal to the "angry and angry". and 'obey commands without disobedience, secretly exhort without slacking off; He who is a monarch will be wise, and a courtier will be humble. 'Remind the princes: think about what you want, and solve your worries. is a great loyal minister.
This edict must come from the forbidden.
The three princes and the four mansions, how can they be sarcastic about themselves.
concurrently leads the 'Huangmen Shilang', acting cheaply, a more classic sentence. It can be said that he is well versed in the world and can live in the world exquisitely.
The Huangmen squire is an official who serves the emperor, and is used to convey the edict of the saint. Liu Bei is far away in Lousang, not above the court. His Majesty the Emperor sealed a 'Huangmen Shilang' and Liu Bei to show his honor. And because of the long distance, he was asked to 'act cheaply' and did not need to go to Luoyang in person.
The 'Huangmen Shilang' who gave Liu Bei 'cheap action' was a close minister of the emperor and an official of the inner court. It has little to do with the court officials. Sangong wants to manage it, but he is also powerless.
In this way, Liu Bei's request was achieved, and the hundred officials had nothing to say, and he also vented the sultry of being repeatedly bumped by his subordinates for His Majesty the Emperor. If there is such a delicate method, this edict must come from the hands of a certain treacherous and cunning servant.
And the 'cheap action' referred to in the edict and the 'cheap action' that Liu Bei asked for are not the same in the eyes of the three dukes, four mansions, and hundreds of officials in the imperial court.
It is important to note that there is no punctuation in the text at this time. It is precisely because there are no broken sentences in ancient texts, and they are mostly replaced by fake words. So the understanding of each scripture varies from person to person. That's why there is a famous Confucian 'commentary'.
How to comprehend the meaning of the holy depends on how to break the sentence.
If you take "concurrently" to the Yellow Gate Squire, act cheaply. "In a sentence, acting cheaply is aimed at the official position of 'serving the Yellow Gate'. But if you "concurrently lead" to the Yellow Gate Squire'. Act cheaply. "Broken into two sentences, it is the 'right to assertiveness' that Liu Bei is asking for!
How to break the sentence should be subject to the three publics.
However! The edict arrived in Zhuo County, and the local powerful young monarch was in the hands of the marquis. Hey! The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. How he explained and acted had nothing to do with the court.
In this way, it does not violate the laws of the ancestral country, but also is reasonable and does things quietly.
The person who wrote the edict is well versed in the hearts of the world, and it is really terrifying. This eight-sided exquisite edict alone knows the ability of eunuchs, and it must not be underestimated.
There is Dou Wu in front, and what is in the back. Both generals died at the hands of eunuchs. Now it seems that it is really not wronged!
Why do you have to dig out the hollow and write 'do it cheaply'? Do you need to ask? Rushing Liu Bei's unpaid final payment!
One thousand three hundred and forty-five horseshoe gold cakes, and only five hundred were paid. There are also 845 pieces of golden horseshoe gold, which have not been, have been, received, and arrived!
So His Majesty the Emperor did not hesitate to take a 600 stone 'Huangmen Squire', but also to ensure that the balance was paid.
Wait for Liu Bei to get up. Zuo Feng smiled again: Your Majesty's reward for the young prince and the generals has been brought with the car. You can order someone to retrieve it quickly.
Liu Bei thanked him again.
Zuo Feng hurriedly let go, and then he said in front of him: Shaojun Hou Renyi. Slaves and maids do not regard themselves as outsiders. In the future, all matters in the DPRK and China can be informed by letter.
Internal officials are not handed over to foreign ministers.
Zuo Feng didn't care about his family and life, he just wanted to have a deep friendship with Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei had no intention of participating in the affairs of the court, he couldn't bear to cold his heart. Besides, in case someone makes a false accusation, there will be someone by His Majesty's side to speak on his behalf. It's not a bad thing. He nodded in thanks. Zuo Feng led Liu Bei to see the forbidden place.
Brocades, costumes, fine wines, bells, and armor are all tributes from various states and counties, as well as from the countries of the Western Regions. Pieces of fines. And besides these, there are living creatures. A group of musicians, a group of dancing girls, and a group of female attendants (imperial doctors).
Musicians, dancing girls, graceful and colorful, magnificent colors. They are all daughters of good families who have been selected by the officials of the inner court to enter the palace over the years, and they have been trained and carefully taught by the 'Yellow Gate Advocacy Agency' since childhood. This is similar to the ritual music given by the Son of Heaven to the princes during the Zhou period, which is a very glorious compliment.
Liu Bei didn't feel anything. My mother was very happy. Chimes are important instruments of ceremonial music! Non-Emperor rewards are not available. and generally give more to princes and kings. There are very few people like Liu Bei who are feudal marquises. It shows that I am deeply gratified.
This is called royal bearing.
A set of bronze chimes, how much is the price?
The emperor doesn't care. It's just a bronze casting, and the cost is not high. But for ordinary people, it is a priceless treasure.
Thousands of dollars are hard to find.
Not to mention the 'sons of the family' who are selected to enter the palace and carefully cultivated into talents.
Fighting cocks and dancing cranes, cooking wine and tuning the piano are the tastes of scholars. The sound of dogs and horses, galloping and hunting, is the pleasure of princes.
In this era, food, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all linked to rank.
Geng Yong ordered Zuo Feng to live in the fine house, and he was also entertained by the guards. Liu Bei called the sect and moved the forbidden money into the treasury. The musicians and dancers live on the second floor of the front building. The doctor is arranged to live on the third floor.
The officials of all sizes in the county rushed to the Jingshe to meet the Huangmen Order. Geng Yong and Cui Jun also feasted every day. Zuo Feng is a young man, and he has no scruples about his words and deeds. Gold and silver treasures, those who come do not refuse, but it is okay to accept them. After Liu Bei sealed and loaded 845 pieces of golden horseshoe gold into the car, Zuo Feng, who had been around for more than ten days, was reluctant to give up, said goodbye to Liu Bei with tears, and returned to Luoyang.
I heard that the Holy Lord gave the bell musician. Several of the teachers were shocked. They all came to the Xianghou Mansion for a banquet. Listen to the pleasures of the princes.
Liu Bei asked his teacher to write 'Linxiang Houfu' by hand, and made a plaque to hang high on the door.
As a feudal prince. With a hundred-mile fief in the township, as long as the land within the fief, Liu Bei can report to the imperial court and give it to his heirs. For example, Lucheng Pavilion Marquis, Li Pavilion Marquis, Dali Pavilion Marquis, Du Kang Pavilion Marquis, and so on.
More than 1,300 horseshoe gold is not a small amount. Fortunately, there are war dividends to exterminate the horse thieves and go south to quell the chaos. The expenditure of the fiefdom was as usual, and there was no big deficit.
The holy edict is in hand, and I have it in my hometown.
The county officials already have a deep friendship, so how can they have extraneous branches. And everyone knows that His Majesty authorized the young prince to 'act cheaply'. God knows how much trouble Liu Bei was saved!
3,000 Huaisi Shangjia, 1,000 Danyang male soldiers. Families and relatives have moved into Lousang. In a few months, there were tens of thousands. All of them moved, but I am afraid that there will be 100,000 people. It doesn't matter, one Lou Sang can accommodate 20,000 people. Lichengyi has accepted more than 30,000 people and has been renamed Licheng. When the houses on the left and right sides of the Liting ditch are all built, the boxy Licheng is twice the area of Lou Sangyi, which can accommodate more than 50,000 mouths.
There are also Dali City, Dukang City, and Linxiang City that have been planned. With the addition of Lousang, five cities can accommodate 200,000 people.
This is the capital of the troubled times.
There is no hurry.
Eat the rice one bite at a time.
Licheng is still under construction, and this season's rice cultivation is about to begin. Once a year, don't be careless.
There has been abundant rain in recent years. There are floods in the county from time to time. There are also many floods in the Northland. If you plant five grains and wheat, most of the grains will not be harvested. Rice, on the other hand, can survive under flooding. Even if the whole plant is submerged in water, it will take several days to die. And the yield is high. It is the first important weapon of the young monarch and the marquis of Xingye and the people. There must be no mistakes.
With the diversion of the Liting ditch Juma water. Sure enough, the water level of Du Kangze began to fall. More and more of the old land is revealed.
Flat boats come and go, transporting bamboo cages and gravel for rice planting, and then build a city and embankment.
