Chapter 274: Eating Together
"The small country of the Southern Barbarians, fierce and unjust, ignorant of etiquette, has a strange diet, and even feeds on rats and snakes and scorpions, and treats them as delicious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Chen Pingdao.
"In the end, it is a small country in the Southern Barbarians, how can rats, snakes and scorpions eat?" Empress Xiao wrung her eyebrows.
Below, Pei Jutong frowned lightly, and looked at Chen Ping from time to time. Pei Ju was ordered to take charge of the Western Regions Jiaoshi and supervise the trade between the border states and counties and the Hu people, mainly iron tools, and the people were not allowed to trade with the Hu people unless there was an official order from the imperial court.
Knowing Yang Guang's ambition to expand his territory, Pei Ju privately compiled and wrote a book of "Atlas of the Western Regions", which was almost finished, and he was ready to present it to the imperial court.
But this time, listening to Chen Ping's narration, I only felt that my "Atlas of the Western Regions" was not perfect enough, and I thought to myself, when I returned to the house, I still needed to change it, add some of the content above, and be sure to be complete and detailed, and then dedicate it to the saint.
"It's almost lunch, Chen Ping, you are talking about these wicked things that make Your Majesty and the Empress lose their appetite, can you afford it?" Wang Shichong said again, looking at Queen Xiao with concern, "This is all nonsense, how can anyone eat that rat, snake and scorpion?" Chen Pingnian is only twelve, could it be that he has been to a small country in the Southern Barbarians and seen the Southern Barbarians eat these things with his own eyes? ”
Chen Ping turned sideways, glanced at Wang Shichong, and looked sincere: "Wang Shilang, there is a golden house in the book, and Yan Ruyu in the book." Books and scriptures can enable us to gain knowledge, and what I have described is described in the scriptures and history, and it is an account left to us by our predecessors, and I am not talking nonsense. ”
"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book." Wang Shichong didn't say anything, but Yang Guang's eyes lit up on the couch, and he read it in a low voice, and then he bowed his head and smiled with Queen Xiao beside him, "This is very far-fetched to be used here, and I don't know where this kid heard it." I heard it before, and there is also a good sentence from this kid's mouth. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Guang glanced at Chen Ping, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and then read it out in a low voice: "Thunder, rain and dew, all for Jun's grace." ”
"I was born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. Is the difference also Chen Ping's hand? Although he came from the common people, he was also talented. The southern barbarian country is a small country, barren and remote, and I think that some places are different from our dynasty, which is also reasonable. Empress Xiao nodded, "The feudal kingdom pays tribute, and looking at the clothes of those people, it is very different from my dynasty." ”
Later generations said that Yang Guang was jealous of talent, and because of Xue Daoheng's talent, he killed him. In fact, this is not the case, it is said that it is because of talent, but it is better because Xue Daoheng is arrogant and does not put Yang Guang in his eyes, which leads to the real and appropriate disaster of killing.
During the reign of Yang Jian, Dr. Guozi He Tuyin and Su Kui discussed happy things, and each insisted on his own opinions and argued. The emperor asked the court officials to express their similarities and differences, who is Su Kui? That was Su Wei's son, and Su Wei was the secretary of the Criminal Department in the DPRK at that time, and he served as the inspector of Yongzhou, and he was even a five-time dignitary in the DPRK and Gao Ying.
As a result, most of the officials in the DPRK and China were partial to Su Kui. He was angry, and bluntly said that he had studied for 40 years, but he was humiliated by a child, and sued Su Wei for forming friends with Lu Kai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xue Daoheng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Hong, the right of the Shangshu, and Li Tonghe, the waiter of the examination.
And the facts have been ascertained, and this is indeed the case.
Several people were in the official office, and the officials next to them directly called Wang Hong the prince and Li Tonghe as the uncle, and the two were equivalent to Su Wei's son and brother.
Not only that, Su Wei used improper means to make his uncle and brothers Su Che, Su Su and others deceive and become officials.
The investigation was substantiated, Yang Jian dismissed Su Wei from all positions, Xue Daoheng was implicated, and because the appointees were biased, he was convicted and demoted, and he was assigned to defend Lingnan.
At that time, Yang Guang was the king of Jin, in Yangzhou, admiring Xue Daoheng's literary knowledge, and secretly sent someone to signal Xue Daoheng, hoping that Xue Daoheng could pass through Yangzhou, and Yang Guang would intercede with the emperor and leave him.
As a result, Xue Daoheng did not look down on Yang Guang, but fell in love with Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and felt that Yang Liang, who was attached to the army, was more promising than Yang Guang, and according to Yang Liang's strategy, he went to Lingnan via Jiangling.
At this time, Yang Guang began to feel resentful about it.
But cherishing Xue Daoheng's talents, he still respects him. Later, Yang Guang originally wanted to appoint Xue Daoheng as the secretary and supervisor, as the governor of the secretary province. But Xue Daoheng is good, and he played a piece of paper for "Ode to Emperor Gaozuwen".
Yang Guang was seriously suspicious, and then Yang Jian was touched by Xue Daoheng in the past, and the two were combined, this "Ode to Emperor Gaozuwen" was considered by Yang Guang to be Xue Daoheng's satire on the king, and his dissatisfaction with Xue Daoheng accumulated.
At this time, Xue Daoheng was still arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, but he repeatedly sarcastically mocked Yang Guang to the courtiers.
In the end, Xue Daoheng ended up being killed.
Of course, all this has not happened yet, and Chen Ping does not know if history will be biased and develop in the direction of the side because of his butterfly wings.
At least for now, Lin Yi's repeated incident has deviated from the trajectory of history.
"Since the queen is interested, then you can go on and say, at lunchtime, stay." Yang Guangdao, and then looked at the other two, "You two are also eating together." ”
"More Your Majesty, thank you Empress." Wang Shichong and Pei Ju looked glorious, it was an honor for the courtiers to be able to dine with His Majesty and the queen, and the opportunity was hard to find.
Lunch was prepared by the eunuchs of the Shangshi Bureau of the Inner Servant Province, and every day was a fixed time, and it was not yet to come, Chen Ping continued: "The king's guard, like my dynasty, is served by the children of the good family, and there are more than 200 people, holding gold-decorated knives. Its weapons, such as bows and arrows, knives, lances, etc., are not much different. ”
"However, although the country is rich in products and full of gold and jade, it is not as good as our dynasty in terms of iron smelting, and the crossbow arrows are made of bamboo. The lethality is not enough, the small southern barbarian country, there is no shame, it is cunning and cunning, and the bamboo arrow is smeared with poison. ”
"Besides, there are elephant soldiers in the country of Linyi, because the population is not large, the woodland is dense, and there are many miasma, ordinary people enter it, and they have no defense, so they can only die in it."
"As for the musical instruments, there are qin, flute, pipa, and five strings, which are the same in the Central Plains, and they are used as a warning to the enemy's invasion, which is to beat the drum and blow the trumpet with a conch, indicating that they are going to join the war."
Speaking of this, Chen Ping looked back at Wang Shichong and said with a smile: "If you want to say that their appearance is a little different from ours, with deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, and curly hair. On weekdays, I like to be barefoot, probably because of poverty, I can't afford to buy shoes and socks, so I wrap them directly in cloth. ”
Deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, curly hair.
The three characteristics are similar to Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong was still strange when he saw Chen Ping sweeping over, but when he heard the words, he felt that it was not good. Sure enough, after Chen Ping finished speaking, Yang Guang, Empress Xiao, and Pei Ju were the palace maids and eunuchs waiting on the side in the room, and they all looked at Wang Shichong curiously.
"Although the minister has curly hair, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge, the minister is not the barbarian of Linyi, but the same Han." Wang Shi was busy justifying himself to show that there was no difference between the individuals in the same room.
Pei Ju said in a low voice: "Wang Shilang, your ancestor, should have come from the Western Regions, not a Han people, but actually a Hu person." ”
"So what? Although I am the face of the Hu people, my heart is towards Han, loyal to Your Majesty, loyal to the emperor, and I am a Han person. Wang Shichong tilted his head and argued.
At this time, a little eunuch from the Shang Food Bureau came in to say that lunch was ready, and the emperor and queen were asked to move.
"Well, whether it is a Han or a Hu person, as long as they serve in the court, they are my subjects. The small country of Linyi actually dared to go out of Erfal and refused to pay tribute, so it should give some lessons and let it know the prestige of the kingdom. Yang Guang stood up, waved his sleeves, and looked serious, "Fortunately, General Liu has not yet returned to the court, and he is very clear about many things in the small country of Linyi...... What's it called? ”
"Brahman." Chen Ping followed behind Yang Guang, saw Yang Guang's eyes fall, and replied, but he secretly said in his heart, the matter was halfway done. (To be continued.) )
