Chapter 152: War and Peace (8)

The probationary system, which began in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was the only way for the children of commoners to enter the bureaucracy under the hereditary official system of the aristocracy. But in China's official-based society, there are too many people who want to be officials, and this channel is too narrow. Therefore, the competition is extremely fierce.

In order to win in this competition of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge, the people of that era dug out their minds and did a lot of appalling things. And the so-called "lying on the ice and seeking carp" is just a drop in the ocean.

Although Wang Xiang was born in Langya, he is also surnamed Wang. But he is far away from the real Langya Wang bloodline. Therefore, when he was a child, his family was poor. In order to finally become a big official, he is really hard enough.

first acted with his stepmother: his stepmother had all kinds of abuse, and he was all kinds of filial piety (at that time, in order to make the family an official, it was really necessary for the whole family to be actors). Later, he made a bridge section of "lying on the ice and seeking carp...... In the past 20 years, Wang Xiang, who has perfected his acting skills and has completely reached the level of an actor, has finally gained great prestige. Although he entered the bureaucracy in his forties, the rate of rise is nothing short of a rocket!

It's a pity that Shu Han, who takes Guan Zhong and Xunzi as the mainstream, dislikes this kind of actor the most. And the traverser? Hehe, he has watched your tricks for thousands of years, and he will only think that your skills are not enough and your acting skills are too poor!

Therefore, Wang Xiang, who took the initiative to put his face up and beg for abuse, is tragic, and after tonight, the title of "Huoyun Evil God" that "burns wherever he goes" is estimated to accompany him for the rest of his life. The "Twenty-four Filial Piety" that made people look creepy in later generations is destined to be one less filial piety.

And Wang Rong, who was born in the authentic Langya Wang family, couldn't get used to seeing Wang Xiang, a common man, swaggering and deceiving everywhere all day long in the name of Langya Wang. So, he laughed at this time, and it was really intentional.

Eighty-year-old Wang Xiang almost sat on the ground with his head on his head. He trembled and roared: "The erector is rude, the old man moved the sky with sincerity and filial piety, so that the ice surface naturally cracked, and the carp jumped out of the ...... on its own."

"Oh~~~ That's it, but Hugh Zhenggong, as a courtier, isn't the greatest filial piety to be loyal to the king? Your filial piety to your mother can move the heavens, but why can't your loyalty to the king move the heavens? ”

To put it simply, Guan Yi has not taught it, and it is purely self-exerted. But it is vicious to the extreme: your filial piety to your mother touched the heavens, so that the heavens gave you carp. But your loyalty to Sima Gong did not move the sky - the sky did not let this attack on Shu succeed, not to mention, but also wiped out the whole army. So, your loyalty to Sima Gong is fake!

Now the question is, do you admit that what you did when you were lying on the ice and begging for carp was fake, and thus ruined your reputation? Or do you admit that you are disloyal to Sima Gong and let Sima Gong raze your three clans?

Well, don't talk about it. Now Wang Xiang's only choice is to pretend to faint.

Then, the meal is not eaten. Sima Wang also breathed a sigh of relief: he saved another sum.

However, the two countries have diplomatic relations, and no matter how small things are, they are big things, and this is not a matter of one meal at all.

From that night on, Comrade Wang Xiang's nickname of "Fire Cloud Evil God" spread far and wide. The entire Cao Wei Shilin community was laughing at the old puppet for being embarrassed and thrown to an international height. I am also very unhappy in my heart: we are a big country in the Central Plains, and we can have our own celebrities. How can a young man in a small country in Xishu be so washed?

So, there was a second banquet.

This time, the owner is Jia Chong, and everyone knows whose will he represents. Therefore, Cao Wei's celebrities have to cheer no matter how reluctant they are - in fact, after the incident of the previous night, everyone wants to improve their reputation by washing the envoys of Xishu.

On February 1, a banquet was held in Jia Chong's mansion to entertain the envoys of Xishu. Cao Wei's celebrities were all present.

"Hahaha, Uncle Ling, it's all up to you tonight! In the past, the first emperor was defeated in Dangyang, if it wasn't for the prime minister who went to Eastern Wu to fight the Confucianism, the first emperor might have hung in Dangyang. So, Uncle Ling, let those metaphysical scholars have a good look at the dialectics that my brother taught you tonight! ”

"Hey, it's too much of a hindrance to his identity and can't go out in person, otherwise these guys will all be photographed as fans by Taishou...... Well, if I don't have enough skills, I'll shoot them into a lump! "Well, after seven years in Fuling County, the originally square Li Mi has also learned badly.

“…… Vomit~~~ Ling Bo, you are so disgusting. ”

Ma Jie watched these two guys banter each other out of tune, not nervous at all. It's a big fire in my heart: we don't just go to have a meal, this is a major event related to the face of the country.

Who let him not live with Guan Yi (so ambiguous), in Guan Yi's view, this kind of exchange on diplomatic occasions is nothing more than great political significance. And the political significance, if you pay attention to it, he is everything, if you don't pay attention to it, he is nothing. As the two elders of the Fuxing Society, Jian Jian and Li Mi certainly have the same opinion on this.

What's more, this war of words may not be nothing.

Under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, a group of three people came to Jia Chong's Mansion and entered the lobby to take a look. There are so many people tonight.

"Yizhou Jian Wushuang, Li Lingbo, Ma Zhongying to ~~~"

Because Fei Yi's "Phoenix is coming, the unicorn is spitting" has been widely spread, so this time Cao Wei's celebrities did not hold the shelf and did not stand up. After hearing the welcome roll call at the door, they all stood up and bowed their hands to the three of them.

After saluting, take your seat. Jia Chong entered the main position: "The three envoys have worked hard from afar, and I don't know how long it takes to start from Chengdu?" ”

"Gong Lao asked, we set off from Hanzhong to arrive in Luoyang, and it took fifteen days all the way."

"Well, it's a guest from afar, three please, drink win!"

"Thank you Gonglu, gentlemen, please, drink to win!"

After three rounds of drinking, the next step is one-on-one persuasion, and at the same time, it is also the beginning of the attack.

"In Xiataiyuan, King Shen, please drink the three messengers."

"It turned out to be Wang Chudao, who was determined to write the Book of Wei, and he admired it for a long time."

"Hiss~~ Does Wushuang also know that Shen is compiling the Book of Wei in Xishu?"

"However, Chen Shou Chen Chengzuo, a colleague under him, is now also compiling the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" in Yizhou, and I often hear Chengzuo mention the name of the Tao."

"Oh, it turns out that I am not alone! In fact, I also heard that Wei Zhao and Wei Hongsi of Eastern Wu were also compiling the Book of Wu. I can't wait to see the two colleagues. ”

This seems to have been taken astray. Aren't you, Wang Shen, in charge of going to the opening gun? Why do you forget your original mission when you hear that someone is writing a history book with you?

"Humph! Dare to ask the three, which Three Kingdoms is the "Three Kingdoms" compiled by your colleague Chen Chengzuo? ”

Wang Shen, who was on the rise, was forcibly inserted, and of course he was very unhappy. But I finally remembered which country I was from, so I didn't say anything else, just said to Jian Jian and others: "This is Runan and Qiao and Changyu." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a thousand zhang pine, look up for a long time."

Qianzhang Song is the praise of the famous scholar Yu Yi when He Qiao was young. Li Mi took this out and spoke, first of all, to ease the atmosphere.

It's a pity that He Qiao is still young at this time, so he didn't pay attention to Li Mi's overtures, and still asked unrelentingly: "May I ask Uncle Ling, which are the three kingdoms?" ”

"Well, which Three Kingdoms does Changyu think it should be?"

"Of course it's ......" He Qiao just wanted to answer, but he immediately woke up when he opened his mouth: first, Great Wei did not recognize Shu Han and Eastern Wu as a country. Second, Da Wei now has an alien embryo in his belly - the Jin Kingdom. So which Three Kingdoms this "Three Kingdoms" is, it really can only be understood and cannot be spoken.

"Uncle Ling is too graceful, right? I'm asking you below! ”

"Oh, of course. These three kingdoms are the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of earth, and the kingdom of men. The Kingdom of Heaven has passed away and will soon cease to exist in the world. The land, there is no land, and the manors are dense. There are evil gods who drive cattle to plough the fields. Those who are in the kingdom of men have their land, and everyone is free. ”

Depressed, although anyone could hear that Li Mi was ridiculing Cao Wei that he was about to finish, and incidentally stepped on Dongwu, and strongly praised Shu Han. But none of the people present could refute it - who would dare to say that the Great Wei Kingdom was ten thousand years old?

"Hehehe, dare to ask Uncle Ling, where is this human country? What is the name of the ruler? ”

"Dare to ask?"

"I am happy with Pei Xiu."

"Ah, it turned out to be Ji Yangong, dare to ask Ji Yangong, have you ever heard of where the kingdom of heaven is? Who is the lord of the kingdom of the earth? ”

"Unheard of."

"Hehehe, my family was too guarded in the past. There is a country in the southwest of Yizhou that is said to be poisonous. Its national belief is a god called the Great Brahma, or it is said that all kinds of things in the world today are just a dream of Brahma, and when Brahma wakes up from a dream, everything in the world will disappear. Therefore, where the three kingdoms of heaven, earth and man are, in fact, they are all in a dream......"
