Chapter 152: The First Appearance of Vertical and Horizontal (Seeking to Be Complete)
Chapter 152 is beginning to emerge
The formation of any system, or rule, will have an initial and unshakable foundation, or standard.
This criterion is used to measure the series of rights and wrongs after the system is created.
And this standard is like the foundation of the house, which determines the height and ceiling of the surface building.
In terms of the social system, then this unshakable standard of Chinese civilization is the ancestors.
Whether it is theocracy, kingship, or patriarchy, it is developed on this standard.
This criterion not only measures the rules, but also restricts them.
Because in the development of civilization, people have found that there must be something in awe in order to bring peace and stability to the tribe, otherwise no one will obey anyone.
So ancient people abstracted a certain condition from the unknowable natural phenomenon that made everyone awe, and then shaped it into the concept of ancestors, who not only gave them life, but also deprived them of life.
Later, in the process of reverence for ancestors, human civilization became more and more aware of nature, and the ethnic group became larger and larger, and the contradictions were fierce again, so some people who had mastered the rules began to divide their ancestors and then stand on their own.
Fuxi Nuwa is so.
After a long period of chaos, people developed clans on the basis of their ancestors, and traced back to the same ancestor, so that everyone became a family, and conflicts did not have to be resolved by drastic means.
So the two emperors of Yan and Huang and Chiyou appeared.
Their descendants, although their surnames are different, are all from the same clan and have become relatives who have broken bones and tendons, so for the sake of the relatives' faces, many problems have changed from solving them with their fists to coordinating with their mouths.
But when there were more and more clans, more and more powerful, and even the formation of 'common people' in the land of China, the contradictions appeared again, and the rules were broken again, so there was Xia Shang Zhou, who called themselves the Son of Heaven, the direct descendants of their ancestors, and the powerful bloodline theory represented the ancestors to rule the world and make the people awe.
But no matter how the rules are broken, the reverence for ancestors will not change.
Because this is the cornerstone of Chinese civilization and the cohesion.
Therefore, those who violate this will eventually be ostracized by the entire race until they are destroyed.
But at all times, there are outliers, that is, non-mainstream groups that are contrary to the mainstream.
Far from being proud of conforming to the mainstream, they are ashamed of it.
They are passionate about breaking the rules, and they are also obsessed with pursuing the rules in their hearts.
Tian An is such a person, and there are such people around him.
Tian An is loved by the people at the bottom because he is kind and benevolent, close to the people and easy-going, and such a person is willing to be inferior and degenerate in the mainstream concept of aristocracy.
But for the people at the bottom, it is a person who is free from low-level interests, so Tian An not only has a high popularity among the people, but also attracts many 'people with lofty ideals' who are willing to work for him.
And this group of people seems to be like Yu Gao gradually leaving such a ranger, but in fact, they are just a group of 'star chasers', they have no moral standards in their hearts that they adhere to and pursue, and they all live according to Tian An's rules.
And it is also regarded as a classic.
In other words, anyone who openly says that he wants to abandon his ancestral surname and start a family by himself will be spurned by everyone, and even arrested and imprisoned.
After all, even the first thing that the emperors of the past dynasties did when they ascended the throne was to build the temple first, put the tablets of their ancestors into the temple, and crown them as emperors, or posthumously recognize a certain emperor as an ancestor and confirm the nominal orthodoxy of the bloodline, so as to be recognized by the people of the world.
But there is one person who dares to turn his back on his ancestors for no reason, which will undoubtedly cause a huge sensation and criticism.
With the law of Qin as Amway, the most direct 'spokesperson' of the ancestors is the father, and the Qin State has a criminal law, called 'killing', that is, adding a complaint to the government, saying that he wants to kill his children or servants, then the government will directly arrest the son and kill the head after verifying the identities of both parties, which is the most direct and concise power of the 'ancestral rules'.
Even Fusu's death is likely to be because of this kind of killing.
It can be seen that in the pre-Qin period, 'ancestral filial piety' was very important, it was an untouchable red line, and now Tian An openly said that he wanted to deviate from his ancestors and stand on his own, but instead of being sent to the government by others, or being killed by a sword in the face of righteousness, he was also appreciated and respected by everyone.
This is a very 'anti-social' phenomenon.
However, this is also Tian An's cleverness, as a descendant of the royal family, he used his family and country to be destroyed, and the king's injustice was a crime, and he found a reasonable excuse for his betrayal of his ancestors, because most of the people here are from Qi State, and they are also very sad when Qi State is destroyed, and they also think that the responsibility for the destruction of Qi State lies in the king's mediocrity and appointment of traitorous ministers.
And Tian An then resisted the banner of the righteousness of the family and the country, and made a heavy oath to decide to keep the light and obscurity, and hoped that one day he could return to the country in order to repay the kindness of his ancestors, which not only created the illusion that he was the successor of the royal family, but also won a good image of righteousness in front of this group of rangers who had nothing at least.
At this time, Tian An asked these people to follow him to defect and flee out of the Qi country, and it became that he took these people to expand the territory in order to seek future affairs, and successfully washed away the 'treason' on them.
It's worse than rotten, Fang Haohan.
This is the terrible thing about the Zonghengjia, avoiding the important and trivial, reversing black and white, and using the weaknesses of human nature to use words to achieve their own goals.
Tian An is the teacher of the Zongheng family, and his ancestor is Jin Shang, the Zongheng family who made Qu Yuan hate the Chu State back then, that is, the creator of the reversal of black and white in allusions.
Jin Shang is the same disciple of Zhang Yi Su Qin, the longitudinal and horizontal family of Chu State, when Zhang Yi was in Chu, thanks to Jin Shang's cooperation, he finally contributed to the six countries of Lianheng, and used the technique of Lianheng for Chu to annex many small countries around him, and finally sent Qin for Chu to die for his death.
After the destruction of the Chu State, the Jin family fled to the Qi State, and Jin She was taken over by Tian An, and after discovering his talent, he became a teacher and learned the art of vertical and horizontal.
After Tian An and many guests hugged and cried, they each went home to let their relatives prepare to flee, and then sent Gao gradually to leave Jixia School Palace to meet the gentlemen, and then hurried back to the inner house.
After Tian An knelt down at the door and saluted, he took off his shoes and entered the door, a special incense in the room lifted his spirits, looked up at Jin She who was sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, and said softly, "The teacher is really like a god, and Gao Yuanli really brought the news we need." ”
Jin She is only a few years older than Tian An, and he was born in the nobility of Chu State, and the nobility of Chu State itself is the best person in the Six Kingdoms, although he is wearing a coarse linen robe, he still can't hide the nobility on his body, but has the demeanor of a hermit, and after putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, he smiled, "I heard the front hall crying just now, but what happened?" ”
"Seeing that the timing was just right, the disciple told the teacher what he said when the city was broken." Tian An said in a low voice.
Jin She frowned, and his tone was cold, "Said?" ”
"Got it." Tian An was shocked when he saw that Jin She's face was not good.
"I didn't say that you want to make yourself king now." Jin She asked a little nervously.
"The disciple is still measured." Tian An breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wei Ji and Han Wangxin, didn't say anything?" Jin Shu asked as his fingers tapped his knees unnaturally.
"They are very cooperative, but Mrs. Xu seems to be absent-minded." Tian An frowned.
"Han Wangxin and Wei Ji are of little use for the time being, and they will only be used when they join forces against Qin, but Mrs. Xu must take them away, his iron-smelting skills are the foundation of our success." Jin She said in a deep voice: "What is the news brought by Gao Yuanli?" ”
"Lu Sheng, Fang Xiandao seems to have betrayed the covenant and betrayed his sons." Tian An frowned and said, "He was made the king by the King of Qin, and it seems that his authority is still very great, and even the Xuanniao Order can be used." ”
"The Yin and Yang family itself is good at bewitching the king, and with the so-called high oath envy spell, it is better than others to obtain the king's favor, look at how well Xu Shi mixes around Qi Wangjian." Jin Shu pursed his lips a little angrily.
"Fang Xiandao's matter, I must ask him carefully, why didn't he report it!" A hint of anger flashed in Tian An's eyes.
Jin She glanced at Tian An and said lightly, "It's easy to be rude when you're angry, and it's easy to lose color when you're shocked." ”
Tian An breathed a sigh of relief, his expression returned to normal, and he grinned honestly, "Be sure to ask him well." ”
"No outsiders have entered the city in the past few months, and Xu Shi should not know, but I suspect that Fang Xiandao himself has the possibility of giving up his plan, after all, even Mr. Chun Yu is angry and quits the court, and Xu Shi is still in the palace." Jin She shook his head, "Put this aside for the time being, it's an idle chess, and we're fine, what about the other news?" ”
"Gao Yanli brought Le Yi's descendants, it should be through this person's hands that he rebelled against Yan Guo, by the way, Yan Guo is now in charge of Gongsun Cao's descendant Gongsun Ge, it is estimated that Mr. Su Lian may have been killed." Tian An sighed.
"Gongsun, Le Yi." Jin Shu narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a different color, "Did you mention Mr. Su Qin's descendants?" ”
"Nope." Tian An shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "But I have always felt that if Jing Ke or Gao gradually leaves, there must be one of them who will learn from Uncle Su Qin." ”
"Since he is a Qi person, don't call him uncle." Jin She smiled pointedly, "I haven't been in contact with the people in this chain, so I can't see the depth, but since the Yan Kingdom has surrendered, it means that the destruction of the Qi State is not far away, without further ado, you will enter the palace to meet your father later, and take us all out of the city on the grounds of raising food in the people and escorting military rations to the front line." ”
"Gao Yuanli also brought a map." Tian An frowned and said, "It was given to him by Lu Sheng, and he wanted us to go to the east of Liaodong, where there is the foundation of Fang Immortal Dao, but I don't think it's appropriate." ”
"Isn't Han Wangxin already in contact with the Xiongnu envoy? We defected to the Xiongnu through Donghu. Jin Shu frowned.
"Gao gradually left and said that Wang Ben was designing Donghu." Tian An said in a deep voice, "I thought about it, the Xiongnu are far away from Donghu, if we defect to Donghu, even if Donghu is defeated, we can take the opportunity to collect the remnants of Donghu, which is much stronger than going to the Xiongnu, and since Fang Xiandao has a foundation in Liaodong, it means that the hand of the princes is stretched far enough, maybe there will be some unexpected surprises." ”
"Have you counted how many people you're going to take with you?" Jin She's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he calculated wildly.
"More than 1,000 young and strong, more than 2,000 women and children, old people, don't bring it." Tian An said in a deep voice, his expression resolute but indifferent.
