Chapter 6 The Side Branch and the Lord's House
If Fei Qian wants to leave Heluo, there is one place that must be told first, and that is the head of the Heluofei family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Anyway, if you don't say goodbye, in this Han Dynasty scholar circle who pays great attention to etiquette, it is basically equivalent to labeling yourself as an arrogant person for your life, which is a thing that outweighs the loss.
The family began to take shape in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was not until the Tang and Song dynasties that its power slowly faded, and it was not until the real implementation of the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty that the family officially withdrew from the stage of history.
Before the Ming Dynasty, the first thing every emperor did was to face the family, and he couldn't do without the family, and he had to use various ways to restrict and suppress the family, but there were only a few in history who really played the family to suppress the obedience and breathlessness.
The most fundamental reason why the Han Dynasty has been stuck in the vicious circle of power struggle between relatives and eunuchs is actually the family. In this era, the family is still good most of the time, guiding the direction of the country, but when it comes to the interests of the family, they often do something that damages the country. Therefore, almost the emperor of the Han Dynasty first suppressed the family by relying on his relatives, and then when he saw that the power of his relatives was out of control, he pulled up eunuchs to suppress his relatives, and when the eunuchs were huge, they used the clear stream of the family to eliminate the eunuchs.
Such a cycle led to the fact that only the relatives of the Han Dynasty were the most famous in the past dynasties, such as the cattle people Huo Guang, Wei Qing, etc., and there were also Dou Wu and He Jin......
In the Han Dynasty, it was impossible to hold high the banner of hitting the family and work against the family, even if you have more than a thousand years of knowledge and experience, you can avoid the enemy and the opportunity, but it is almost impossible to do it. After all, at this time, most of the family is a part of the people who have the most advanced knowledge, and the governance of the country still depends on these children of the family, and the vast majority of ordinary people, not to mention literacy, can't even count, how can you let these illiterate people know how to govern the country at once?
Fei Qian belongs to the Heluofei family and is derived from Qin.
The first prince of Qin was sealed in Qin by King Xiao of Zhou, and was known as Qin Feizi in history. Some of Qin Feizi's descendants were named marquis and were named Pei Xiang, so they were called Pei Jun. His descendants have been given the surname of Pei, called Pei, and then Pei and other branches of the family, gradually evolved.
The Fei family has been rooted in Luoyang for nearly a hundred years, although there has not been any three princes and other big officials, but the officials of the DPRK and China, the local Taishou and the county guard have served a lot, so at that time, Fei Qian was promoted to filial piety, and some local officials knew the situation of this relationship, anyway, the local counties have the political task of raising filial piety every year, and it is not a new thing to take it out to curry favor with these families in Luoyang.
Fei Qian felt like he had gone to a place to meet the Earth Head Snake in the later generations, but in fact, the family was basically similar to the nature of the Earth Head Snake.
The current head of the Fei family is named Min, Fei Min, and Zihao, according to the generation, it should be Fei Qian's uncle's generation.
Fei Min was the counselor at the time, and he was in charge of discussions. He is a subordinate officer of Guangluxun, with a rank of 600 stones. Although the official position is not as prominent as that of the Three Princes, it has the right to play alone, so it is also one of the important official positions.
Fei Min was wearing a brocade robe, with three beards, a square face, a slightly fat figure, a serious expression, not smiling, very majestic, when he entered the hall, he didn't even look at Fei Qian, who was standing solemnly on the side, and when he knelt in the middle of the hall, he seemed to suddenly see Fei Qian: "Virtuous nephew, don't come harmed?" ”
Fortunately, it is called a virtuous nephew, which shows that Fei Min set the main tone of today's family affection, if it is called a young man, it is a clear refusal to do business.
The etiquette of the Han Dynasty is really tiring, and it is even more tiring to meet a family head who is an official, Fei Qian muttered to himself in his heart, but the etiquette is still in place, so he bowed and replied with some polite words.
In the Han Dynasty, juniors or subordinates could not raise their heads and look at each other when answering their elders or superiors, unless the elders or superiors had a clear request, when answering, the eyes could only see the position of the other party's chest, and after answering, the eyes should droop to the ground, and looking directly into the other party's eyes was not a provocation or a fight.
After the greetings, it's time for the meat.
After hearing Fei Qian's excuse of intentionally leaving Heluo and going south to Jingxiang to study, Fei Min brushed his beard slightly, as if he fell into a memory, "Your father, Ziyun is also very knowledgeable, well-read and knowledgeable, and it is also a good story to study in the past...... The virtuous nephew has the legacy of his father, and he wants to improve his knowledge, if Ziyun has a spirit, he must also feel gratified, but ......"
Fei Min's words turned, "But if you are a study tour, then what should you do with the total collection of more than 100 books left by Ziyun?" This road is far away, and now the world is uneven, if it is accidentally damaged and lost, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret? ”
"What my uncle said is very true, if it is according to my uncle's wishes?"
"In my opinion, if the virtuous nephew temporarily sends Ziyun's legacy to his uncle's house, and when the virtuous nephew comes back from his study tour, he will return it to the virtuous nephew, so that the pain of the virtuous nephew can be reduced, and the second can also protect Ziyun's legacy without worry, what do you think?"
Fei Qian was silent for a long time.
He knew that the so-called temporary storage was just a pretext, and once he handed it over, he didn't think he could get it back.
In the Han Dynasty, knowledge was a priceless treasure, and as a carrier of knowledge, Shujian had a very high status.
In ancient times, these books represented not only books, but also the heritage of a family, a kind of inheritance, a book is worth a thousand gold, many poor disciples are willing to pay any price in exchange for a book.
On the one hand, Fei Min, the head of the Heluofei family, sees that Fei Qian is young and can be bullied, and on the other hand, there is no successor in Fei Qian's family, as the head of the Fei family, of course, it is his duty not to allow what he has learned at home to be left behind. Of course, the most important thing is that these books are too valuable, as the head of the family, he only has less than 900 volumes of books in his early 800s, and Fei Qian, this kid, actually has more than 100 volumes, wouldn't it be a pearl secretly cast, if he can get it, he can claim to have a thousand volumes of books! What a tempting title!
Fei Min was already coveting, but now Fei Qian actually sent the door to give such a good excuse, how could he easily let it go?
Fei Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the so-called family! In the eyes of the family, the family first and then the country, the family comes first in the country, and the interests of the family are above everything else at all times.
Helpless, people are under the eaves, and they can't help but bow their heads. What's more, Fei Qian is only a side branch, and he doesn't have too much right to speak, and the head of the family can personally meet and ask for it under the pretext of "temporary storage", which is already based on some kinship, of course, it is more important to see that there are so many Tibetan documents, if it is an ordinary poor family, he may even assign a house slave to come to the door.
"Good. What my uncle said was very true, but ...... "Fei Qian knows that he absolutely can't refuse this kind of thing, but he can't give it too much, so that these guys look down on it," but my father loved Qi the most during his lifetime, and he often couldn't put it down, and he was not filial to see things and think about people, and he couldn't bear to separate, so he had to take it with him no matter what. ”
Do you really think I'm a bully? The most valuable Qi can not be given!
As we all know, during the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, killing Confucian people, to the Han Dynasty, feng shui took turns, it was the turn of Confucianism, and the Han Wu Emperor reached its peak during the period.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Confucianism was the only academic work that could ascend to the imperial court, and the most important academic work of Confucianism was the Analects.
Since the Analects of the Analects was written in the early Warring States period, the words and sentences have often been different due to oral transmission and hand-copied transcripts. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhang Yu of the Han Dynasty Emperor Zhang Yu mainly based on the "Lu Treatise" and combined with the "Qi Treatise" to compile the "Zhang Hou Treatise", which had 21 articles.
"The Treatise on Qi" was collected by Fei Qian's father when he traveled to Qi to study in the country, although it was only a fragment, but in the eyes of Confucianism at that time, the value was also Liancheng, and it was not easy to be a thousand gold.
"This ...... This ...... "Fei Min's trembling beard is very reluctant, but Fei Qian holds the banner of "filial piety" high, and he can't let Fei Qian not fulfill his filial piety, isn't that one of the most fundamental ideological morals of Confucianism?
"It's okay for the virtuous nephew to keep three or five volumes by his side, right?" Fei Min still didn't give up.
Fei Qian shook his head firmly.
"Alas, it's okay, just rely on the virtuous nephew." Although Fei Min said that it was a pity, most of them could get their hands on it, and they didn't have to tear their faces, and they were satisfied, after all, Fei Qian was also a member of the Fei family, and it was too embarrassing to laugh, but it was a pity that he couldn't do all the work, "Then I don't know when the virtuous nephew will leave?" ”
That means when am I going to get the book from your house?
"The little nephew was invited by the Cui family, I am afraid that there are some trivial matters that have not been resolved, and after this matter, he will leave in the middle of the month, and he will definitely inform his uncle at that time." - The Cui family may find me trouble, and I can't leave if the trouble can't be solved, if you can handle it, then I will be at most ten days, and I will notify you when I leave.
"The Cui family, but the Cui family in the north of the city, I already know. The virtuous nephew is far away from the mountain, and the uncle has nothing to give to you, only to prepare some coils, and the virtuous nephew must not refuse, as the uncle wishes the virtuous nephew a safe journey and a successful study. "-Okay, I'll help you get it, give you a deposit, don't regret it, that's it.
When Fei Qian left Heluofei's house with five hundred gold, it meant that the deal with Fei Min was completed. This is the helplessness of the side branch, even if Fei Qian does not agree this time, Fei Min will find another way, but at that time, he may not be as harmonious as he is now.
Pang Zhifei Qian handed over the collection of books in exchange for a certain range of freedom and protection given by the master Fei Min.
If Fei Qian does not develop in the future, then these books will never return, of course, if Fei Qian gains power that day, these books will even be returned twice.
This is the family, the head of the family has a high right and responsibility to lead the healthy development of the whole family, and the side branches are often invisibly exploited by the main family. Of course, if the head of the family is not effective, then the elders of the family will hold a meeting to depose the head of the family and choose a meritocracy from other side branches to replace the head of the family, and the wealth of the original head of the family will be divided among others, and it will decline from then on.
The gentleness and politeness of the family conceal the bloody and cruel law of the jungle.
