Looking at the book in front of him, Wu Fanhui couldn't laugh or cry, this is a book of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is also the first book given to him by the patriarch Wu Mianqing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If you don't read the Water Margin, you don't read the Three Kingdoms.
The meaning of this sentence is that young people should not read the Water Margin, so as not to learn that the rebel heroes in the middle of the Water Margin fight and kill every day, and live ordinary days into the life of the rivers and lakes, making chickens and dogs restless, and even thinking of rebellion, old people have the accumulation of life and enough wisdom, do not read the Three Kingdoms, lest they be like those characters in the Three Kingdoms, who are good at strategy and calculation, so that young people are unpredictable, and the country is not peaceful.
"Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in fact, is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" hundreds of years later, Wu Fanhui doesn't know how many times he has watched it, including the TV series filmed no less than three times, and he is familiar with the characters in it, Zhuge Liang is Wu Fanhui's idol when he was a child, the lupine scarf is curling, he can guide the country anytime and anywhere, lead hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, and play with each other in applause, but when he grows up, especially after participating in the work, after watching "Three Kingdoms", he knows that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is in it, Zhuge Liang is elevated, this character pinned all the author's expectations for the sage, Zhuge Liang is high and bright, bowed to the end of his death, calling for wind and rain, clever calculation, has the ambition and ability to help the people through the world and create a peaceful and prosperous world, but unfortunately he died before he left the school, and the hero was full of tears.
I don't know what Wu Mianqing meant when he sent this book, whether he asked Wu Fanhui to be good at strategy, or asked him to learn from Zhuge Liang, become a generation of virtuous ministers, and leave a name for eternity, or both.
Of course, Wu Fanhui knew that Wu Mianqing definitely didn't want him to learn from Cao Cao.
It's a pity that from the perspective of reason and reality, Wu Fanhui has to admit that among all the characters of the Three Kingdoms, only Cao Cao is the most successful, after all, the Wei State was founded by him, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the Three Kingdoms are unified, and the unification of the world is completed by his descendants, in terms of achievements and merits, Cao Cao has achieved the ultimate goal.
Scholars can think about learning Cao Cao in their hearts, but they must not say it on their lips, otherwise you will wait to be scolded to death.
Wu Fanhui became the head of the county test case, and he didn't need to go to Wu's school every day to go to class, he had nothing to do, he had nothing to do, he watched "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and revisited the classic chapters again, which was also a pleasure.
The teacher of the Wu School, Guo Yanqi, was originally influenced by the Guo family, because Wu Fanhui became the head of the county test case and was able to continue teaching in the Wu School, and his income increased significantly, the patriarch Wu Mianqing rewarded five taels of silver, and the students' festival increased.
Except for Wu Fanhui, others don't know that Yan Qi is messing around in the Wu Academy, and Wu Fanhui will not say this, Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng have made significant progress in their studies, and they are proficient in reciting "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", and even can simply analyze "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", which is also attributed to Yan Qi, as for the rest of the Wu family's eleven exams participating in the county examination, all of them are named Sun Shan, and the family members will not blame Yan Qi, After all, the county test is greasy, and everyone still knows something.
Wu Fanhui became the head of the county test, but also prompted the change of Yan Qi's attitude, his requirements for the students in the school began to become strict, and he would appear in the classroom every day, on the one hand, he urged students to memorize and write silently, and on the other hand, he began to analyze the four books and five classics, in Yan Qi's view, the strength of the five major families in Mizhi County will change slightly, and the rise of the Wu family is inevitable, and Wu Fanhui became the head of the county test, he also has credit, if it is the county test next year, no child of the Wu family can pass, isn't it doubtful.
Wu Fanhui's status in the Wu family is increasing day by day, and Wu Mingkun and others worship their boss even more.
When he had nothing to do, Wu Fanhui also went to the school to have a look, he still went to the classroom on the right, and after supervising the completion of Wu Mingkun and others' studies, he also told Wu Mingkun and others some classic chapters in "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a huge influence after hundreds of years, and it is a household name, and it can be said that everyone regards the story it describes as real history, but in this era, the fame of this book is limited to the larger cities, which is completely due to the dissemination of information and the scarcity of readers.
The chapters in "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" narrated by Wu Fanhui deeply attracted Wu Mingkun and others.
In early April, Wu Fanhui went to the school again.
When he entered the classroom, he found that Wu Mingkun and the others had very serious expressions, which made him very strange, although he was only four years older than Wu Mingkun, but his mental age was completely different.
"Big brother, you are the head of the county trial, can you afford to look down on the younger brother."
"Wu Mingkun, what are you talking about, study hard, don't think so much about other things."
Wu Mingkun's face was slightly red, but he still insisted on standing in front of Wu Fanhui.
"Big brother, I'm not joking, I have told Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng, we will also form a righteous alliance with the eldest brother Taoyuan, and be loyal to the eldest brother in the future."
Wu Mingkun may be a little anxious, and his voice is very fast, reciting the words in "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
"Become brothers, work together, help the needy, report to the country, and go down to Anlishu. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven have learned from this heart, betrayed their righteousness and ungrateful, and killed heaven and man. ”
When Wu Mingkun said these words, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng stood neatly on his left and right, and the expressions of the five people became serious and sacred.
Wu Fanhui was a little distracted, this scene in front of him reminded him of the past before he traveled, he remembered that when he was very young and in elementary school, the best classmates in the class also learned Taoyuan to tie the knot, and worshiped each other as brothers of the opposite sex, at that time, he didn't think much about it, and he didn't know what it meant to be a brother, and as he grew older, everything when he was young was gradually forgotten, and when he grew up, he met when he grew up, and he laughed when he recalled the scene when he was a child, but he was also moved in the laughter.
With the development of society, the complete changes in people's spiritual thoughts, or the spread of money worship and impetuousness, the simple friendship in memory has gradually disappeared and has become a precious and unattainable thing.
But this era is different.
Although it took less than a year, Wu Fanhui still felt the strong influence of Confucianism, when the child was born, he was admonished to be loyal and filial piety, to be loyal to the country, to sacrifice small interests, to save great righteousness, whether it is the family of scholars, or ordinary people, these teachings are worshiped as gods, and this kind of thinking will accompany people's lives, may not be able to do it, but in the depths of everyone's thoughts, are entrenched in such a consciousness.
This is why a useless emperor can still be worshipped, the people who have been bullied can be compromised, and the righteousness between brothers can be greater than life, why so many unbelievable stories of righteousness will continue to occur after hundreds of years.
The folk customs of this era are far simpler than hundreds of years later, and the people of this era, although they are illiterate everywhere, and many people are illiterate, but most of them value righteousness over profit, and once they promise to do it, they will not regret it for life.
Therefore, Wu Fanhui will never be able to face Wu Mingkun and others with the mentality of hundreds of years later.
After thinking for a while, Wu Fanhui spoke, his tone was very serious.
"Do you know the true meaning of Taoyuan righteousness, that is, the worship of brothers between the opposite sex, that is a lifetime of loyalty."
"We know."
"In the future, whether brothers are poor or rich, whether they are depressed or powerful, they will all live and die together, do you know this?"
"We know."
"And the most important point, since it is a righteous alliance and I am the eldest brother, then you will have to listen to me in the future, do you know this?"
"We know."
The voices of the five children, some of them are still immature, but when they answer, they are all categorical.
Wu Fanhui nodded.
"Okay, after school, I'll wait for you in the north of the city."
There is only one kind of clump tree called the black locust tree in Mizhi City, and there is no peach tree, so it cannot be done according to the requirements of the Taoyuan Righteousness, and in front of a black locust tree in the north of the city, a small mound has been erected.
Wu Fanhui, Wu Mingkun, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu, Wu Mingfeng and other six people, each holding a stick of incense that had been lit in their hands, knelt in front of the mound, this time they really began to worship.
It should be said that Wu Fanhui, Wu Mingkun and others, in terms of family relationship, are brothers, but their relationship with each other this time is far beyond the relationship between cousins between families, and from this moment on, they have become real brothers who share weal and weal together.
"I, Wu Fanhui, and the second brother Wu Mingkun, the third brother Wu Mingbo, the fourth brother Wu Mingfu, the fifth brother Chen Huaqu, and the sixth brother Wu Mingfeng worship again. I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year. The emperor and the queen of heaven have learned from this heart, betrayed their righteousness and ungrateful, and killed heaven and man. ”
Wu Fanhui stood up and inserted a stick of incense on top of the mound.
Wu Mingkun then stood up, put a stick of incense on the mound, and then walked in front of Wu Fanhui, knelt down respectfully and saluted, and then, Wu Mingbo, Wu Mingfu, Chen Huaqu and Wu Mingfeng and others knelt and bowed one after another.
"Okay, the first request I put forward to you is to study hard, I don't ask you to be on the gold list, but you must learn enough knowledge, so that he can really help me one day."
A few of the children nodded vigorously.
No one would have thought that this inconspicuous worship in April of the second year of Chongzhen would shake the entire Great Tomorrow a few years later, and its influence would far exceed that of Taoyuan Jieyi.
