Zhao Xing said slowly: "I shook my head, just to feel sorry for you, you see, such a big royal secret is held in the palm of your hand, and you have to put so much effort into covering up the royal face, but you have to go overseas to accompany this princess......

It's a pity, it's a pity - do you know what it's like overseas, you don't have a single acquaintance around, you can't find someone to talk to if you want to, because you don't speak their language at all.

Think about it, no one overseas will pay you money, and all your expenses depend on the little money brought out by the princess. If you think about it again, if you don't have an acquaintance, you need money to buy every move, how much should it cost? You buy land, you buy a house, you hire a group of people to protect you, all of this is bought with money, how much should you spend on your monthly salary?

You can't farm, you can't do business, you can't weave, you can't return to your hometown for the rest of your life overseas, no one knows if you die, no one dares to bury it...... Look me in the eye and tell me, are you really going to live this life?

Don't say I'll take care of you, I've been working hard overseas for three years, and I'm trying to enjoy the life of a scholar in the Great Song Dynasty, I won't go overseas, I want to live in this land. Therefore, if you have something to do, you will not find me immediately, and if you want to force me, I will never obey the edict, you can watch and do it. ”

Tong Guan was so anxious that he turned around: "What to do, what to do?" ”

When Tong Guan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Zhao Xing said slowly: "If you believe me, let me make arrangements, the princess is a poor person, then don't drag others down-this is for you, you go back and tell the Queen Mother." Said that I have a house in Jiaozhi, and I also have a house in Qiongzhou, these two places are across the sea from my Great Song Dynasty, and you can also walk on land, so you can ask the Queen Mother to choose any one as a placement.

As for the princess's side, then there is no need to bring anyone, the princess is going out to be an ordinary person and bringing the cabinet chief, but it makes her feel emotional. It's better not to bring it.

If there are palace maids who are willing to follow, you can let the princess bring a few with her...... Please rest assured. Both of my houses are very comfortable, and I don't suffer from smoke and dysentery. The sea and land on both sides are very close, and when the wind subsides, the princess is willing to marry, I must find a good family to marry...... Wait, I have a good idea, marry her to the Duke of Dayue, I can do it. Tell the Queen Mother that I will definitely let her get married. ”

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up like a thief who had successfully stolen a chicken. Tong Guan got his assurance, couldn't sit still, anxiously prepared to return to the palace to report the news, and suddenly remembered before leaving: "By the way, Qiantang Jinshi Zhou Bangshi is in your house?" I'm here this time under the guise of giving him a decree, so don't let me say it. There is an edict: except for the Zhou Bang-style Zhihua Prefecture. I will declare it to him. ”

"He was in the side courtyard, and there was a lantern hanging at the gate of the courtyard...... I'll tell the yard to lead you! Zhao Xing replied.

Tong Guan took two steps, and suddenly stopped: "The first day of the fourth month." There is no moon, that night is the best time to walk, you can remember the days. ”

"Got it! You must explain the situation clearly when you go back. Remember: for your own sake, you must resign from the princess's side, and it is better not to send eunuchs to serve as I said......"

The two chatted a few more details and finalized the plan to leave the palace. Tong Guanxing rushed away. After Zhao Xing sent him away, he was alone in the house for a while. He slowly walked out of the house, and Ma Mengde walked to the room.

According to the general principles of the royal family, the nameless and nameless wild child will never be allowed to be born, and the most famous medical kung fu in the Song Dynasty is acupuncture, which is pricked with a needle. Maybe that for the princess has quietly aborted.

Zhao Xing walked slowly in the courtyard. As he walked, he lamented for the unborn child...... But it was none of his business, he had already walked to the door of Mamond.

Su Shi was in the house evaluating the new words and new works of several disciples. This is that he has forgotten the troubles just now - Su Shi is such a person, he is a person who can think openly, and he can find happiness for himself at any time.

Huang Tingjian made a poem "Fisherman's Words", which has the sentence "The bride's eyebrows are green, her daughter Pukou's eyes are green, and the fish is surprised to mistake the moon and sink the hook", Huang Tingjian thinks it is good, "With the water and mountains, instead of the jade skin and flowers, this is really the fisherman's family style", and let Mr. Su evaluate happily.

After reading it, Su Dongpo nodded again and again with a smile and said: "Yes, it's really good, just out of the bride's rock, and into the daughter Pu, this fisherman is merry enough, but does this guy still have the heart to fish?" Immediately, the disciples burst into laughter.

Su Dongpo said again: "Lu Zhi, your words have become clearer and clearer recently, but the strokes are too thin, and they look like snakes hanging from the treetops." ”

Huang Tingjian in the room immediately replied: "The teacher's words are not easy for students to discuss, but they look a little flat, like a stone pressed toad." ”

Zhao Xing listened to a few words outside the door, but he didn't understand, it was too profound. Su Shi's speech quoted classics, Zhao Xing knew mathematics, physics and chemistry and philosophy, but he was not familiar with those classics. He grinned and pushed open the door, ran into the room like no one, found himself a seat and sat down, and shook his head in the chair as Ma Meng.

Su Shi found him, glanced at him, and only opened his mouth, Zhao Xing had already shook his head and said, "Don't say!" Can't say. ”

"Okay, I won't ask you", Su Shi also let go, and immediately said: "It's too late to send a poem, you, a disciple, have also had several poems circulating, but you are not by my side when you write poems, do you always not admit what others have seen, today I must make a poem." ”

Do what? Zhao Xing can only sing, he patted the table, sang the theme song of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the strange "Linjiang Immortal", and sang "A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, how many things in ancient and modern times are paid to talk and laugh", Su Shi was greatly moved when he heard it, and praised it repeatedly.

This poem is quite in line with Su Shi's style, the heroism and seeing through the world are very much in line with Su Shi's appetite, especially the last few sentences, which are simply aimed at his troubles just now and persuade him...... Of course, Zhao Xing has denied that he wrote this poem.

This is indeed not what he wrote, but no one in Da Song believed it.

Su Shi did not hesitate to praise the word, praised it fiercely, and then said, "I'm here today." I want to tell you that Lu Xianggong wants to see you, and he happens to be at home tomorrow, so you will go with me. ”

Lu Xianggong refers to Lu Dafang, that is, Su Shi's appointment letters, offended the prime minister of the dynasty, he wanted to see Zhao Xing, did he indirectly want Su Shi to say that he didn't care, the words in Su Shi's edict?

"Lu Xianggong is very ancient. And thought that Zhou Li would be feasible in future generations, Huang Luzhi (Huang Tingjian) and Zhang Wenqian (Zhang Lei) recently talked about shooting salutes in the palace. Lu Xianggong knows about it, and plans to ask you some details of Zhou Li, where did the two widows go, and you take them with you. ”

Zhou Li, Zhao Xing remembered Zhang Yong's words, and smiled bitterly: "Does anyone still care about Zhou Li now?" Now it's the Great Song Dynasty, does the Zhou rite ignore the etiquette of the Japanese people, the Goryeo people, and the Yue people? Isn't he afraid that others will scold him Hari Ha Han? ”

"Hari, Hahan? What words? "Li is studious. I was in a hurry.

"Ha, this is a Hu language, you don't need to know, I said it. Ah, Lu Xianggong likes Zhou Li, to what extent? Zhao Xing's last sentence was purely speechless. But none of these people in the house despised him because of this, and Ma Mengde hurriedly stuffed a book in his hand into Zhao Xing's hand to see the situation. They were talking about it just now.

There are four words written on the book: Lantian Township Covenant.

Township covenant is a kind of township convention, the content is in the daily life etiquette norms, villagers help each other, advise each other to admonish good and evil, the purpose is to make the customs pure.

Zhao Xing didn't know that the Lantian Township Covenant in his hand was known as China's No. 1 Township Covenant. It was compiled by Lu Dafang's elder brother Lu Dajun. Before the Song Dynasty, some of the pro-people ceremonies of the Zhou rites only penetrated into the county-level units, and they were organized by the government. to the Song Dynasty. These pro-people measures briefly penetrated into the countryside, and it was the Lu brothers who advocated them.

In order to make the township rules and regulations easy to implement and last, the Lu brothers established a corresponding organization. The election covenant is presiding over the matter, and everyone takes turns to serve as the duty month. Gather regularly. Record and reward and punish good and evil deeds. This is self-government initiated by the people. Voluntary participation by villagers. Those who come do not refuse, and those who go do not chase.

This book records some of the customs of the villagers. In today's terms, it is "natural law" or "customary law", the original part of which was also the "patriarchal law" of the Song Dynasty.

This is the patriarchal law, the real patriarchal law! The patriarchal laws I saw before were all rubbish, women had no property rights, and the juniors in the clan had no private rights, and they were actually said to be patriarchal?! How does it look like the primitive tribal chieftaincy system of the Hu people, the person who made up this kind of nonsense must not have read the "Lantian Township Covenant" - of course, he may have seen the Lantian Township Covenant, but on the orders of Qin, he specially came out to Mengren.

To deceive the world by using the tribal chieftaincy, and then to ask the Han people to admit that it is Han in Chinese, and to criticize how ugly it is—there is nothing more inverted in the world than this.

There is no China after Yashan!

Zhao Xing just wanted to cry when he held this Lantian Township Covenant.

It is not terrible to have no China after Yashan, but it is terrible to deliberately tell you a different kind of China, to tell you that the China before Yashan is the same as they made up.

We have lost China, and even the true face of China!

Su Shi enthusiastically introduced the Lantian Township Covenant to Zhao Xing, which also caused a lot of trouble for Lu Dajun when it was first born, and the courtiers mainly discussed that there was a suspicion of "forming a party". Because spontaneous villagers' gatherings, without the permission of the organization, are "group ** pieces...... Fortunately, Lu Dajun lived in the Song Dynasty, and the organization did not mobilize the people's officials to suppress the people.

Later, the Lu brothers became more and more famous, and the world has classified the Lu brothers and their disciples as etiquette, or guanxue, or guanzhong science. The imperial court was embarrassed to interfere, so it adopted a strategy of not encouraging, not supporting, not attacking, and not suppressing. With the increasing number of official disciples, they are distributed everywhere to be magistrates, and they also practice the promotion of Lantian Township in various places, so this Zhou Dynasty etiquette has been passed down through the war and chaos among the people.

Zhao Xing got the land in the whole Lantian Township Covenant, and the villagers' code of conduct in the first chapter of the Township Covenant recorded the patriarchal law. Then there is the folk etiquette...... In these folk rituals, Zhao Xing saw a lot of familiar things, such as social dramas, temple fairs, dragon boat races, spring and autumn festivals, and so on.

Originally, these entertainment activities were part of the "village ceremony", which was organized by the government to promote the goodwill and friendship of the local people through the villagers' friendship activities. Later, when the Hu people came, these things became fragmented, and only entertainment remained for the people. Its provenance is no longer known.

"I see, so it is", Zhao Xing muttered blankly: "People say that Yashan is ......, and I know the source now." It turns out that since then, our culture has lost its origin, and we don't even know the folklore everywhere! What could be saddder than that?! ”

What Ma Mengde showed to Zhao Xing was an early version of the "Lantian Township Covenant", when the Lu brothers only implemented this kind of township covenant in their hometown Lantian, so it was called "Lantian Township Covenant". Later, there was too much gossip. The implementation of this kind of feudal etiquette in Lantian is suspected of feudal secession and restoration of feudalism. The Song Dynasty was an oligarchic slavery headed by the emperor, so the Lü brothers quietly renamed it "Lü's Township Covenant", giving it a clan coat. And the patriarchy belongs to the people's family affairs, and the court will never interfere with it again.

It is precisely because of the implementation of the "Lü Township Covenant" that China began to have a patriarchal speech. In other words, China officially stepped into the patriarchal society from this "Lantian Township Covenant", so it is called the first patriarchal law in China. The First Township Covenant – Although China had begun to live in family units due to war, there was no clear and systematic clan "customary law" at that time......

"I'll go, I really want to meet this Lu Xianggong, not only with those two widows, but also with Goryeo and Jiaozhi. Zi said: If you lose your courtesy, ask for help. We have now lost so much, and we are boasting about these countries: the well-dressed system. Lile Han Junchen. Let them talk. ”

"Good", Qin Guan liked to be the most lively, he said excitedly: "The previous war of the Four Kingdoms, anticlimactic, this time I must let those three countries see the splendid articles of my Great Song Dynasty, and see the materialized treasures of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Chen Gongchuan pondered for a long time when he heard the news, and patted Chen Yiniang in his arms, Chen Yiniang obediently got up and flashed to the side. Chen Gongchuan sat up, glared, and asked, "You want to marry my sister after all, right?" In other words, sooner or later I will be your eldest brother. The family does not speak two words. The last time Shikoku fought poetry. You didn't say hello in advance, which made me very embarrassed.

This time you said it in advance. But you give me time to prepare. What are those two people-Genyeping is a famous poet, samurai, and Tang swordsman in the Wa Kingdom, and Ji Shouzhong's fame is greater than him; Park Inguang is a great poet of Goryeo, these are not good stubbles, now I give you two choices, one is to show my identity so that I can be on an equal footing with them, and the other is to give me time, I want to find a helper,"

"Show your identity - it's impossible, find a helper, this is a way...... This is an influential conference, and it just so happens that Xiao Wang is going to organize an elegant meeting in the West Garden, and the place is big enough, so why don't we postpone the meeting until the end of the month......"

The "end of the month" mentioned by Zhao Xing refers to April 30 of the Gregorian calendar, which is the day of Gengshen on the day of the month of the month of the Chinese calendar, that is, the 25th day of March in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, Friday, the beginning of summer.

On this day, standing in the famous place of West Garden, Zhao Xing immediately recalled why the word West Garden was so familiar. This is the place where the "West Garden Elegance Meeting" is held, the West Garden Elegance Meeting and the Lanting Gathering are listed as the two major events in the Chinese literary circle, the protagonist of the previous gathering is Wang Xizhi, and the protagonist of this gathering is Su Shi.

Outside the West Garden, there was a surge of people, and the scene was as if it was a scene outside the star concert theater in the aftermarket. Fans who couldn't get tickets crowded around the theater, waiting to see their idols. However, the scene was even larger than the concert of the stars, and there were 4,000 people outside the West Garden, who looked at the closed gate as if they were looking at a temple.

It will become a temple, and at this moment, it will also become history, and the only regret is that the names of bystanders cannot climb the scoreboard.

The garden gate opened a small crack slightly, and a few gorgeously dressed big fat men at the garden gate immediately blocked the garden gate with their fat bodies, they leaned over and whispered to the people in the garden, and the scholars who were a little far away from the garden gate did not squeeze through, they still maintained a state of gentleness, standing in place politely, looking forward to the results of the secret conversation at the garden gate.

This phenomenon seems to have appeared many times, and the students have become accustomed to it, so they just wait patiently. Sure enough, after a while, a few pieces of paper were handed out from the cracks in the garden gate, which were the poems of the masters in the garden. One of the fat men in brocade took the pieces of paper as if they had been treasured, and the rest of the people looked disappointed, and gave up a few steps to give up the figure.

The fat man glanced at it a few times, and immediately shook the piece of paper in his hand and shouted loudly: "Dongpo Jushi (Su Shi), Mr. Shaoyou (Qin Guan) each have a poem, and a poem by Xiao Wang and the horse, which is obtained by my Shenghe Printing House, and only one poem is read aloud on the spot......"

The students were full of emotion. Messy shouting: "Read the ...... of the bachelor of Dasu", "Read Qin Shaoyoudi"......

The garden gate is noisy, and the garden is quiet.

This banquet was actually a post-disaster reunion and a break in life for the literati. All of you here have survived the calamity before they reunite here. Li Gonglin, who is good at painting characters, will depict this literary event as a picture - "West Garden Elegance Collection", Mi Fu made a note for this picture, that is, "West Garden Elegance Collection". This gathering is known as a grand gathering that is not inferior to the Lanting Elegant Collection of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the scene depicted in the painting has since been regarded as a model of the ideal life of Chinese scholars, and has become the subject of repeated depictions under the brushes of later generations of famous artists.

Zhao Xing looked at Li Gonglin's description of the "West Garden Elegant Collection", which was drawn by Li Gonglin. Mi Fu preface, it has been lost. The fakes are preserved in Japan and are national treasures. The Elegant Collection of the West Garden is internationally famous because it is the only picture that records the grand events of ancient Chinese literature, similar to the gathering of literati, and has not appeared in China since the West Garden.

The pine cypress and bamboos in the West Garden, the small bridge and flowing water, the victory of the pole garden. The guest and the host are elegant. A stone table is displayed under tall pine and bamboo trees in the garden. A cicada flies towards a small river, and the banks of the river are densely populated with flowers and bamboos. The two concubines of the master, combed high and swore high vows, and carried a lot of jewelry, and stood behind the table. Su Dongpo wore a high hat and a yellow robe, leaning on the table to write a book, and the horse Wang Xu watched nearby...... Mi Fu stands. Head up, is inscribed on a nearby rock. Qin Guan sat on the root of a tree with many knots, listening to people playing the piano......

In addition, Huang Luzhi, Cai Zhao, Li Zhiyi, Zheng Jinglao, Zhang Lei, Wang Qinchen, Liu Jing, Huang Buzhi, as well as monk Yuantong and Taoist priest Chen Bixu, they either wrote poems, or painted, or inscribed stones, or dialed Ruan, or read books, or spoke scriptures, and enjoyed the feast and travel. There were 16 main friends, almost including the literary elite of Kyoto at that time......

There were also six attendants and scribes at this assembly - history should have told it that way, but now. It seems that something has gone wrong in history, and it has produced countless more people than before......

At this moment, history deviated from its original track.

Knowing this, Zhao Xing was so excited that he was about to faint - history has changed, and I have finally changed history.

More than twice as many people attended the West Garden rally this time. Except for the original twenty-two. There are also a large number of Luo Party personnel - such as Lu Dafang, Wang Yansuo, and so on. In the original history, now is the time when the struggle between the Shu Party and the Luo Party is the most intense. Since Su Shi presided over the "museum ministry". Fu Yaoyu, Wang Yansuo, Zhu Guangting and others took out of context to attack Su Shidi's exam questions and were suspected of slandering Emperor Shenzong. After this attack was blocked by Su Shi's fan Empress Dowager Gao, Fu Yaoyu, Wang Yansuo, Zhu Guangting and others turned to attack Lu Tao violently. Zhu Guangting and others are disciples of the Cheng family and representatives of the Luo Party, while Su Shi and Lu Tao are both Shu people, so the theory of the Shu Party and the Luo Party has spread far and wide.

Originally, the Luo Party should have tried its best to attack the Su Shi School, and their attack was indiscriminate, not only including the Su Shi School, as long as the other party was a Sichuanese, it was the reason for them to put it right - whatever the Sichuan people were in favor of, they were all against; They are in favor of everything that the Sichuan people oppose...... But in the West Garden, the two parties actually sat together, and in the exquisite garden of Xiao Wang's Horse, they enjoyed the demonstration of the Zhou rites made by the surrounding three countries.

The Xiyuan gathering not only included the Shu Party and the Luo Party, but also several court officials, and three heavyweights - Shangshu Left Servant Shot (Left Phase) Wen Yanbo, Shangshu Right Servant Shot (Right Phase) Lu Gongshu, and Privy Envoy Zhang (Cardinal Minister) were also among them. These three people, together with the Zhongshu Ling Lu Dafang, are equivalent to the entire high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty District Political Affairs Hall gathered in the West Garden.

The number of people attending the gathering in the West Garden has changed, and the purpose of the gathering has also changed, and if Li Gonglin is asked to depict the scene of the gathering in the West Garden again, his painting technique will also change - he learned the gaudy and heavy color of Tang painting from the widow Cuiyi, and obtained a variety of wonderful inks from Zhao Xing, coupled with his newly learned golden section layout technique, the painting style has also changed from plain and elegant to like thick ink and heavy color, and pay attention to the layout of the picture.

…… Can these small changes cause the behemoth of the Great Song Dynasty to change its direction slightly?
