"Han Jun, lighter, lighter."

Shaoqing, a thin scribe wearing a Confucian crown and a wide-sleeved robe, was dragged by Han Dadang, a tall horse, and walked on the streets of the mud city.

He had a small black lump on his neck, his feet were bare, he was stained with a lot of mud, he even stepped on horse manure, and two pairs of shoes were carried in his hands, and he was very embarrassed, and he begged for mercy.

"Han Jun, let me put on my shoes, it's insulting to Sven!"

Han Dangdang let go of his hand and turned his head to stare at the Confucian scholar: "You guy, obviously it's not a rest of the day, but you ran to the female lu to laugh with the Hu woman, just Sven?" ”

"One time, another time."

Tao Shaoru hurriedly put on his shoes, he was originally a Confucian in Kanto, although he couldn't mix up virtuous literature, but he was full enough, but unfortunately, he was lustful by nature and planted his head on a woman.

He was caught by her husband for having an affair with a married woman, and if he had strictly followed the law: "All who commit adultery with their wives and their wives shall be the end of the city." But the bitter master's family was powerful, bought the relationship, took revenge on him, and was directly exiled to Dunhuang.

Tao Shaoru had been settling down in Xiaogu County for a few years, but in the summer of this year, he was suddenly transferred to the Western Regions.

After all the hardships to come to the mud city, he wanted to cry without tears, although he was appointed as a fighting eater, but he only indulged in the female lu all day long, and met all kinds of strange requests of the servant.

"Hurry up."

Before he could put on some tight shoes and tidy up his clothes, Han Gandang began to urge again, scolding:

"In the past three months, we have rammed the dock yard, but Ren Jun alone allows you not to do heavy work, and Lu Jiuyu is responsible for bookkeeping, today Ren Jun wants to use you, but he can't find anyone for half a day, and he dares to rub it!"

Tao Shaoru muttered secretly: "Didn't I assist Ren Jun and teach the officials to read?" I also copied the whole book to him without any of what I had learned in my womb, which I couldn't exchange for a hundred gold. ”

On the face, he could only nod his head, and followed Han Dangdang to the northwest corner of the city, and stayed in Dunhuang for a few years, Tao Shaoru knew very well that he had a good relationship with the chief, otherwise in this extralegal place, they would have countless ways to kill you!

When they reached the intersection, Ren Hong was already waiting here, Tao Shaoru hurriedly went over to salute, and Han Dangdang reported to Ren Hong where he found Tao Shaoru.

Ren Hong didn't reprimand Tao Shaoru, but just asked with a smile: "Tao Shaoru, you really gnawed on the Western Regions rouge again, can you still memorize the words of those saints and use them lively?" ”

"Yes!"

Tao Shaoru didn't think twice: "The rouge is just touching my lips and tongue, but the words of the sage will always remain in my heart!" ”

Ren Hong bowed his head: "Shan, I will talk to King Shanshan later, and I may ask you to add some words from the Analects." ”

Tao Shaoru did not study the Five Classics, which were established by the Han Dynasty for doctors, but the Analects, which were slightly lower than the Five Classics.

Although the Analects also had a doctor during the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he had not been able to blend into the ranks of the Five Classics. But even so, the Analects, as "the essence of the words and deeds of the sages," are also enlightenment readings before studying the Pentateuch.

Therefore, Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty often studied the Analects and the Book of Filial Piety first, and then mastered both the Analects and the Several Classics, regarding the Analects as a ladder to the Five Classics.

Like the Spring and Autumn Period and the poetry are divided into several factions, the Analects are also divided into three schools: "Ancient Treatises", "Qi Treatise", and "Lu Treatise".

Time was pressing, and Ren Hong was only on the way to the "Shanshan Palace" to give Tao Shaoru a rough explanation of what had happened.

"King Shanshan just took the country yesterday, he loves the clothing system of the Han Dynasty, so today he summoned the nobles and officials in the city, saying that he would re-govern the palace, be a guard of the Zhou, go in and out of the page, cast Dinggui, hit the bell and drum, and imitate the etiquette of the Han family!"

Ren Hong knew that this was what he said to King Shanshan yesterday, "Build Shanshan into a state of etiquette, and build mud into a small Chang'an" It worked.

But King Shanshan obviously misunderstood what Ren Hong meant.

"This, King Hu of the Western Regions admires the etiquette of the Han family system, which is a good thing."

Tao Shaoru was stunned when he heard it, and didn't think there was anything wrong, although he was very miserable, but spreading etiquette and music education, this is the dream of every Confucian student.

Ren Hong shook his head: "King Shanshan doesn't wear the clothes of the Han family on weekdays, but it just regoverns the palace and casts bells and drums, etc., which consumes too much money and food. Shanshanguo wants to concentrate all his forces at the moment to supply the Han army's operations in the Western Regions, and this money and grain must be used on the blade, how can he spend it indiscriminately! ”

Shanshan State has just been established, and all industries are waiting to be developed, and Wei Tuqi has no money in his own treasury, and even the residence is sponsored by the nobles with money.

Now he doesn't like it, he wants to rebuild, and he also puts forward all kinds of requirements, delusional Zhong Ming Ding food, Shanshan's nobles naturally don't want to spend this unjust money, so they begged Ren Hong to help dissuade him.

Ren Hong also took into account that if Wei Tuqi was tyrannical for his own pleasure, he angered the people of Loulan and made them hate the Han Dynasty, and now that the Huns were on the side, I was afraid that something would happen again.

While speaking, Shanshanguo's "palace room" arrived, saying that it was a palace room, but in fact it was just a courtyard similar in scale to the Han military dock courtyard, and after knocking on the door, I knew that Shanshan King had gone to the west gate.

When Ren Hong and the others rushed to the west gate, they saw Wei Tu Qi standing outside, directing craftsmen to measure the height and distance of the city wall, and he was very happy to see Ren Hong coming from a distance, and pulled Ren Hong to share his whimsical ideas with him.

"Ren Jun."

Yu Tuqi pointed to the west gate of the mud city and said in high spirits:

"I want to follow the example of Chang'an Weiyang Palace, and outside this gate, build two tall Han Que!"

……

"Have you ever heard a story about Emperor Xiaowen of my Han Dynasty?"

Although this is also what Ren Hong wants to do in the future, but not now, he finally persuaded Wei Tuqi into the courtyard, sat opposite him, and said with a smile:

"The ancient emperors, most of them have beautiful terraces, and Emperor Xiaowen also wants to build a terrace, but he asked a craftsman to calculate it, and said that he wanted a hundred catties of gold."

"When Emperor Xiaowen heard this, he felt that this was already the wealth of ten families, and it was too much work for the people and money, so he stopped repairing the terrace."

In fact, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty set up a small terrace and deliberately publicized it for his subjects to praise. Over there, he gave Deng Tong, a favored minister who relied on licking hemorrhoids, hundreds of millions of dollars, plus a big copper mountain, and he could mint money casually, why didn't he think about frugality?

Combining the two things, the frugality of the Chinese language is close to hypocrisy, but in the past ten years, virtuous and virtuous writers like to compare the deeds of the Chinese language with the Han martial arts, so they have blown the world of the Chinese language comparable to Cheng Kang, and invisibly mythologized him.

But this did not prevent Ren Hong from bringing out the story of Emperor Wen of Han to fool King Shanshan:

After the boycott, Emperor Xiaowen devoted himself to turning the people into virtue, which was to enrich the sea and prosper in etiquette. King Shanshan, this is the origin of the reason why the Han Dynasty has become a state of etiquette. Now Shanshan has only gone through the tyranny of Angui, the Huns blackmailed, and the warehouse is empty, I think that King Shanshan should learn from Emperor Xiaowen and suspend the repair of the palace. ”

But unexpectedly, Yu Tuqi was full of grievances: "Ren Jun misunderstood me, I want to rebuild the palace in the style of the Han Dynasty and establish the Han Que, not for my own enjoyment!" ”

Ha?

Wei Tuqi said seriously: "When I was in Chang'an, I also heard a story, when the Han Dynasty was first established, Emperor Gao was still fighting outside, and Prime Minister Xiao Cheng camped as Weiyang Palace, and established Dongque, Beique, Qiandian, Arsenal, Taicang, etc. ”

"After Emperor Gao returned to Chang'an, he was very angry when he saw that the palace was very strong, saying that if it is turbulent today, after several years of hard fighting, the success or failure has not yet been known, why did the prime minister build such a gorgeous palace?"

Prime Minister Xiao replied that it was precisely because the world was still unstable that the palace had to be built. If the Son of Heaven wants to rule the world, there is no gorgeous and majestic palace is not enough to show majesty, and in this way, there will be no need to build a lot of construction in future generations, so Emperor Gao is overjoyed. ”

Wei Tuqi smiled: "What Xiao Wang saves is Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's thoughts!" Let the turbulent Shanshan people see the majestic palace, so that they can feel at ease, and only in this way can the mud become a 'little Chang'an'. ”

You, you still dare to fight back! Look at the poor oasis vegetation around you, and the few thousand people in the city, is it enough for you to build a large number of buildings?

"The reason why Chang'an is Chang'an, and the reason why Dahan is Dahan, is not actually in one or two cities."

Ren Hong endured his annoyance, was patient, and said with a smile: "The original intention of King Shanshan is to establish a state of etiquette like the Han Dynasty. ”

"And in this world, there is no one who knows more etiquette than Confucius, Tao Shao, how did Confucius say that?"

Tao Shaoru had already had good lines with Ren Hong, and he had been brewing for a long time, so when he heard the words, he stroked his beard, pretended to be polite, and said slowly:

"Confucius said that if you want to build a ceremonial state, you must first do three things before considering the majesty of the palace."

Three of his fingers stretched out.

"Rich, rich, and then teach!"
