The thunderstorm at the end of the fifth year of Yuanfeng came suddenly and lasted for many days.

However, Zhao Guanghan, who is the governor of the city defense of the Chang'an region, Jingfu Governor, has to have a headache for the consequences of these thunderstorms.

In the area of Xiadu County, an unoccupied house was struck by lightning and caused a fire, but fortunately, it was extinguished in time and no casualties were caused; In the Wuling area, the huge thunder caused the horses to lose control, and they trampled to death while running......

But none of this compares to the tragedy that happened three miles away from Anmen in Chang'an City.

When Zhao Guanghan heard the news and brought people to arrive, this place was already surrounded by water, and the daily population of Anmen exceeded 10,000, plus the fathers and brothers who came to see the excitement, there were thousands of people.

"Captain Kyosuke is here, quickly get out of the way!"

Hou Cheng shouted loudly, trying to push a way through the sea of people, and the people behind couldn't see the corpse, so he simply looked back to see what the new Jingfu Lieutenant looked like, but saw that he was tall, wearing a military crown and a crimson robe, calmly parting the crowd and walking under the charred tree.

When Zhao Guanghan finally walked under the tree, Ling Shi, who arrived in advance, was already squatting beside him, but he never dared to touch the corpse, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly said: "Captain Jingfu, the person is dead." ”

Zhao Guanghan knew why Ling Shi was afraid, because this corpse was too unusual, it was a middle-aged man with thick hair, but all his hair was burned, and the thick clothes on his body were as if torn apart by the claws of a fierce beast, leaving a strange pattern like a bruise on his exposed upper body, and the slap on his waist melted directly......

According to eyewitnesses, this person took shelter from the rain under a big tree, and after a flash of light, the tree ignited a fire, and the person fell to the ground. The onlookers pointed at the corpse and said that this person must have committed some serious mistake to be punished by God.

"Identity?" Zhao Guanghan asked Hou Cheng, who was in charge of security in Anmen.

"I checked when I went out of Anmen, I was from Jiangxia County in the south, lived in Xiadu, and today I went to the city to visit friends."

As the three major cadres under the ruling Jinwu, the commander of the capital is equivalent to the director of the capital public security bureau in later generations, not only has the responsibility of maintaining the daily law and order of the Beijing division, but also has to deal with various special incidents, Zhao Guanghan looked at the crowd that gathered more and more, and knew that once they trampled on the chaos, the casualties caused would be worse than thunder and lightning.

So he asked his subordinates to drive the people away, but the group did not leave even if they could not see the body.

Zhao Guanghan could only go on the field in person and shouted loudly: "This thunder may still hit this place, and you won't be dispersed!" ”

Although the words had a thick Zhuojun accent, everyone still understood, and they immediately looked frightened and scattered.

Zhao Guanghan looked at the scattered crowd with satisfaction, raised his hand and said:

"Carry it away!"

But the officials were still afraid, and they didn't dare to step forward, Zhao Guanghan had a flat face, rolled his sleeves and said: "You still want the official to do it himself?" Listen, the one who carried the body to the car, give fifteen days! ”

Half a month's working experience is also working age, everyone gritted their teeth, slapped their hands a few times, and carried the body to the car.

On the way back, Hou Cheng approached Zhao Guanghan and said, "Have you heard the recent rumors of Jingfu Duwei?" ”

"What rumors."

Hou Cheng said in a low voice: "The soldiers of all the sects are rumoring, saying that there is no thunder and lightning left Fufeng and right Feng Yi, and there is one in the land of Jingzhao, and it is just the beginning of the Jingfu Lieutenant, the Jingfu Captain, these are those who are dissatisfied with you, and they are making up rumors." ”

Zhao Guanghan is a native of Zhuo County, he is a strong person, less a county official, although he does not know the scriptures, but he is filial piety, he gave Yang Zhai County Order, gathered in Haoqiang, known as the intractable Yang Zhai killed a lot of people. In order to govern the practice, it is especially different, and he moved to Beijing to assist the lieutenant.

For this Youzhou guy who has no background and speaks a local dialect of Zhuojun, the noble Qingxia in Chang'an naturally has no good feelings, and there are not a few people who want him to get out of this position.

After hearing this, Zhao Guanghan laughed, and even pointed to the sky and said: "I, Yanren, am innocent since I was a official, I have never extorted a penny from the people, and I have not done anything that ignores my conscience, so why be afraid?" ”

In the sky over Chang'an, the thunder was still roaring, and the left and right were a little afraid, but Zhao Guanghan was not afraid.

"What's more, unless this thunder is directly slashed on my head, even if someone wants to make a fuss, those Confucian scholars who say that yin and yang disasters are worried about 'national affairs', I'm afraid they won't bother to deal with my little six hundred stone officials!"

……

The icy sleet was still flowing again, and in the hall where the doctors of Taichang Temple gathered, there was really an argument about the thunder in this winter.

Han Confucianism had long since thrown Confucius's words of "close to ghosts and gods and far away" out of the clouds, Dong Zhongshu absorbed the five elements of the Yin and Yang family, mixed with the widely circulated folk theory of disasters, and began to hype up the induction of heaven and man. In a word, people are watching the sky, and the original intention is to intimidate the emperor and make people afraid of the heavens, but this is enough to stop it.

But over the past few decades, the theory of natural disasters has been completely broken by post-Confucian students. Some people believed that it was true, while others were witty enough to discover that when the court accepted this idea, they would be able to seize on it if there was a disaster.

The politicians and the emperor would rather believe in it, so they would issue edicts to reflect on it, and elect virtuous and upright people who are outspoken and outspoken to ask questions about the way to govern, and the Confucians of the government and the opposition also used disasters to discuss the government and express their own governance ideas, so as to influence personnel or political changes.

Compared to the present eclipse in the fifth year of the last century, the solar eclipse on the day of November has caused the doctors to write articles for several years, not only allowing the emperor to pardon the world and relax the prison sentence to hear lawsuits, but also to depose the two counties of Dan'er and Zhenfan, at least they think it is their own credit.

The great drought in the summer of the sixth year of the first century was used by the doctors to persuade the imperial servant Du Yannian to persuade the general to convene a meeting of salt and iron to dismiss the officials, although it was still far from the complete abolition of salt and iron that they hoped for, but it was also a lot of progress.

The catastrophe is completely dependent on the Pentateuch, and you can say whatever you want, which is the greatest weapon in the hands of doctors and virtuous writers.

Although the seven doctors of the Five Classics are all talking about the difference between heaven and man, the three who are most proficient in this way: "Ram Spring and Autumn", "Yi", and "Shangshu".

"In the case of Yi, thunder should appear after February, and its hexagram is called 'Yu', proclaiming to the world that yang energy is rising, multiplying and growing, and all things will emerge from the ground, and in August, thunder should lead all things to hide in the ground, hidden in order to give birth to roots, stems, and fruit pits, preserve larvae, and avoid the harm of the cold winter period. And thunder appears in winter, this is a disaster! ”

It was Dr. Tian Wangsun of "Yi" who spoke, and sitting opposite him were Dr. Ying Gong of "Ram Spring and Autumn", Dr. Xiahou Sheng of "Shangshu", and there were three or five doctoral disciples behind the three of them, although the floor was very cold on a cold day, they still knelt and sat straight.

It was a small meeting, and the three families had to come to a conclusion before they could make public what they thought was a disaster represented by the winter thunder, and force the imperial court to make changes and concessions on some issues.

Every time Tian Wangsun said a word, his three disciples would immediately record it.

This Han Dynasty doctor passed on the scriptures, the portal view is extremely heavy, the original single scripture is not enough to interpret, under the scriptures, but also divided into "teacher law" and "family theory".

For example, the Ram Spring and Autumn Family, originally the Qidi Ram Clan passed on by word of mouth, Hu Wusheng and Dong Zhongshu learned from the Ram Clan, recorded it in the bamboo silk, and explained the chapters and sentences, and determined the righteousness, Hu's Ram and Dong's Ram are the two masters.

However, their disciples have their own different attitudes and views on the learning taught by the teacher, although they cannot be tampered with explicitly, but they can continue to play it, so they will annotate under the commentary, which is called "family theory".

The "teacher's law" is re-taught, the origin is clear, and the "family theory" is re-established, and the faction is contested.

So Confucius's more than 10,000 words of "Spring and Autumn", Ram Gao for his biography increased to tens of thousands of words, Hu and Dong added righteousness to it, increased to more than 100,000 words, and now decades have passed, Hu and Dong's disciples have passed down to their own families, and the more has expanded to one million words!

They set up their own doors, did not communicate with each other, and even excluded each other. In some subtleties, it is strange and dazzling, and it is greatly explained. For example, for a certain article in "Ram Spring and Autumn", they can have a commentary of 20,000 or 30,000 words.

Not to mention the new disciples, it is not easy to learn the five classics in a lifetime, and it is not easy to learn the first scripture in a lifetime.

According to the rules, the preacher of the scriptures must not change the teacher's doctrine or mix it with different theories. Otherwise, he will not be able to become a doctor, and even if he becomes a doctor, he will be canceled without the doctor of "Ram Spring and Autumn", as the youngest disciple of Hu Wusheng, he proudly inherited the Hu family's teaching method.

He was able to recite the more than 100,000 words of Hu's righteousness word for word, thus defeating the somewhat decayed sons of the Dong clan and becoming Dr. Ram. This is also the reason why Dong Zhongshu's "great revenge" is no longer emphasized - Ying Gong, as a disciple of the ram's eldest disciple, does not like and cannot talk about the righteousness of the second disciple's family.

Having said that, Dong Zhongshu's theory of the difference between heaven and man was too popular, so he was transformed into the family law passed on by the doctors including Ying Gong and Tian Wangsun.

After making a start, Tian Wangsun stopped talking and looked at a young man in white who was eager to try next to him: "As for what kind of disaster it means, Meng Xi, you can talk about it." ”

Meng Xi was overjoyed and walked out on his knees.

Meng Xi is a family of scholars, and his father Meng Qing has a deep accomplishment in "Poems" and Shu's "Spring and Autumn", but he thinks that the content of "The Book of Rites" is too much, and "Spring and Autumn" is complicated, so Meng Xi follows Sun Xueyi, the king of Tian, who has become a doctor, hoping to get mixed into the number of doctoral disciples.

Tian Wangsun likes Meng Xi's cleverness, and wants him to be in the limelight today.

But unexpectedly, Meng Xi, who has always liked to speak loudly and praise himself, was stunned as soon as he spoke.

"When it was, Lu Yingong with his younger brother was young, so he took the throne and presided over the state affairs on his behalf, Gongzi Hui saw that Lu Yingong had been on the throne for a long time, and persuaded him to simply formally ascend the throne, and the good name was justified, Lu Yingong did not allow it, Gongzi Hui was afraid and conspired with Lu Huan publicly, so he and Lu Huan killed Lu Yingong publicly. The sky sees that it will be, so the first month of the heavy rain and thunder and lightning also! ”

Meng Xi pointed to the rain and thunder outside, as if he had seen through the heavens, and said excitedly: "In my opinion, although the name of the Great Sima General is an auxiliary government, he is actually a regent, although the Son of Heaven has already performed the crown ceremony, but the national government is subordinate to the Huo family, which is quite similar to Lu Yingong's occupation of the king's bed for a long time. ”

"In the first month of the third year of Yuanfeng (78 years ago), there was a vision in Mount Tai, a hundred stones stood up by themselves, and countless white crows gathered, and the disciple of Ying Gong, Lu Di Daru Yuhong deduced the "Spring and Autumn Period", thinking that the Han Emperor should tell the world, solicit virtuous people, give him the throne, and abdicate to seal the land of a hundred miles, just like the descendants of King Yin Zhou, in order to obey the mandate of heaven."

"Shut up!"

"Meng Xi, don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as he heard the name of Wei Hong and the saying of "Zen Rang", Ying Gong panicked, and Tian Wangsun was also shocked and wanted to cover Meng Xi's mouth. Xiahou Sheng stood up and immediately went to see if anyone else was eavesdropping outside.

But Meng Xi still avoided the teacher while saying bold words.

"I thought that the person who was a Zen in the Han family that Wei Hong said at that time was the general Huo Guangye. At that time, when the general heard this, he actually killed Wei Hong, and forbade this to say, which is quite similar to Lu Yingong's words of not obeying Gongzi Hui. Now the winter thunder is just a repetition of the past, which indicates that the real Son of Heaven is about to regain the power. ”

"Our saint disciples, we should follow the Son of Heaven and punish the Huo clan who want to reuse the tyranny of filial piety and martial arts, and serve the four Yi in the Central Plains!"
