"Lord County, this, this is obviously a death-threatening thing, but it's actually a good thing?" Ye Guan pointed at this picture angrily, thinking that Second Sister Zhang was only sixteen years old, and she hadn't even really married, and she actually died so tragically in her last days, I really couldn't believe it, why could Yu County Order still put on a proud appearance!

"Ye Xian's nephew is confused, how is this not a good thing, "Cheng's Testament" said: Death by starvation is a small matter, and loss of festival is a big matter. Men and women are universal, a good horse is not worthy of two saddles, a strong woman does not marry a second husband, it is difficult to step on two boats with one foot, and loyal ministers do not have two masters. How can such a chaste and virtuous woman not be known, why can't she advocate the township, and why can't she be on the court. Emperor Gao of this dynasty said: All civil widows, before 30, their husbands died and kept their will, and after 50, those who did not change their temperament were exempted from the service of their own family. This is the highest commendation for those chaste husbands and martyrs since the reign of the three emperors and the five emperors, which is the best inheritance of the Confucianism of Zhuzi in the former Song Dynasty and the best symbol of the restoration of the Han family clothing system after the expulsion of the former Yuan Tartars in our dynasty. Yu Wenzhong raised such things to the level of the cultural system.

Ye Guan sat on the Taishi chair and didn't say anything, he knew that he couldn't win him, because he was a modern person, and Yu County Ling was an ancient person. It's as difficult as you have to tell him how a piece of iron can fly in the sky, because they are not in the same dimension at all.

No wonder Mr. Lu Xun said: "In ancient society, women were mostly regarded as men's belongings, either killed or eaten; After a man dies, he is buried with his favorite treasures and daily weapons. Later, the practice of burial gradually changed, and the observance of festivals gradually took place. But probably because the widow is a ghost wife, and the dead soul follows, no one dares to ask for it, not because she doesn't want to be a second husband. Such customs still exist in the barbarian society today. There is no way to study the situation in ancient China in detail, but although there is a funeral on the weekend, it is not a special woman, and it is convenient to marry or not, and there is no sanction. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, they did not advocate martyrdom, until the Song Dynasty, that group of 'Confucians' said that starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big thing. Is it hard to be martyred? Answer, it's hard. Men know it's extremely difficult, so commend him. "Is it bitter? He replied, "It's bitter." Men know it's bitter, so they should commend him." What is Zhu Yuanzhang playing? The sea is forbidden, the eight shares, the foolish people, is it possible that the monarch and the minister, the father and the son can keep the dynasty forever? ”

Ye Guan sat in the signing room and thought a lot, there were only a few dozen chaste martyrs in the Tang Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and the two Song Dynasty combined were only more than a hundred people, and in the Ming Dynasty, it actually reached tens of thousands, and the Qing Dynasty was even countless, and I don't know how many people died like this in the case of these so-called honorary deaths.

It is now the sixteenth year of Hongzhi, at most around 1500, Columbus has sailed several times with the support of Spain to find the New World, they are about to discover the Americas, seize Luzon, Java and the Philippines, kill the aborigines there and seize countless gold, silver and precious spices. Vasco da Gama is about to arrive in India, Magellan's fleet will complete the first circumnavigation of the world in human history, and when the entire European royal family is immersed in exterminating the indigenous people of the colonies to obtain countless resources and land, the court and people of the Ming Dynasty are encouraging and applauding the death of a young girl who has suffered from her own country.

It doesn't matter if you kill someone, it doesn't matter if you kill a man or a woman, but what you kill for what you want.

Ye Guan suddenly had a feeling of despair, among the trillions of Ming people and gentry, the emperor was complacent because of the rigid eight-strand text that constrained people's thinking, and the heroes of the world were all in my urn, Prince Henry of Portugal had set up a navigation school to promote the great progress of the navigation industry in the whole of Portugal. Just as the scholars of the Hanlin Academy were studying the Four Books and the Five Classics over and over again, the Spanish Armada had plundered more than 10,000 catties of gold and 500,000 catties of silver in just 15 years. When the common people are getting praise from the court and the township for a fifteen-year-old man who married and died until the age of eighty and is still widowed, and feels the glory of the lintel, the European colonists will use the swords in their hands and the plague on their bodies to win eternal land and glory for their descendants from the feet of the Indians and Aztecs of the American continent and the glory that will not fall for a thousand years, while the people of the Ming Dynasty are lagging behind in such a red sea. Then they will be reincarnated in the old-fashioned peasant revolt and dynastic change, until one day, when the English army of only 4,000 men arrives with guns, and the Chinese people will open this Pandora's box of terror that has nurtured the West for more than 600 years......

"Who understands it?" Ye Guan sat alone in a restaurant drinking by himself, looking at the slowly setting sunset outside the window, it seemed that he could feel the sinking of a nation. After drinking two pots of wine in a row, slightly drunk, he picked up a glass of wine and said to the shadow left by the sun in the west: "In this world, it seems that only you who have been with me all the time know what I am thinking. Come, my shadow, a toast to you! Li Taibai's poems are good, good. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. In this world, except for my shadow, who can drink this cup with me, the pirates and foreigners come from Europa thousands of miles away, and hover over the islands near my Ming Dynasty. I was the fleet and sailor of the Ming Dynasty...... Huh. It is not the prince who rides the white horse, and the one who comes from afar is not a guest! That's it, that's it. A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, and you will eliminate eternal sorrows! Ye Guan had a wine glass in his left and right hands, a wine glass was poured into his mouth, and the wine in one wine glass was splashed on the ground, maybe it was for the shadow to drink, maybe it was to pay tribute to something in advance......

"This son? Are you anxious, that evil will come from the sea, and from the west? Just when Ye Guan was almost unconscious, he suddenly saw a girl wearing a white sand mask walking and walking to Ye Guan's side.

"Yes, I didn't expect that in this small Huating County, there are still people who know the affairs of the world, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that it's a woman, she can't go to the court to worship the prime minister, enter and exit the court, hold the authority, sweep the universe, encompass the universe, and the sword is pointing at, looking forward to surrendering. Woman, woman, how many men's knowledge is not as good as this Yiren, it's a pity, it's a pity......" Ye Guan was really drunk, squinted his eyes and looked at the blurred figure in front of him, feeling that it seemed to be a beautiful woman, and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning, when Ye Guan woke up, he was already in an inn.

"My chastity!" This was Ye Guan's first reaction when he was lying on the bed, seeing that there was no anomaly in his clothes, and there was no discomfort on his body, he immediately relieved his heart.

"It's over, I just rented a house in the county, I don't have much money, and the last bit of money was used up in yesterday's restaurant. If I was stripped of my clothes as house money, how could I go back to the county office, and I wouldn't be laughed to death. Let's just go with thirty-six plans, and then come to settle the house money when I have money in the future. Ye watched to see that there was no one else in the room, and quickly pushed the door open, ready to slip away.

"Childe, are you leaving?" As soon as Ye Guan opened the door, he met the inn's shopkeeper, who was about to knock on the door.

"Well, that, I am the master of the county government of this county, if you can trust me, I will definitely send you the money within three days." Ye Guan saw that he had been arrested, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed, so he had to tell his identity, hoping to slow down.

"It turned out to be Master Ye, the villain didn't come to you to settle the house money, your room money and wine money have been paid for you, I am here to hand you a letter." When the shopkeeper saw Master Ye's embarrassed look, he immediately understood the shyness of this scholar, so he hurriedly said,

"Someone's knotted?" Ye Guan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the shopkeeper who looked at it was furious.

"yes, somebody's knotted."

"So, does the person who paid for the room have any extra money on the counter?" Ye Guan pressed forward step by step and continued to ask.

"Yes, the guest was afraid that you would wake up hungry if you slept for a day, so he also paid for the day's meals in advance."

"Really?" Ye Guan suddenly thought of a very important thing, so his eyes lit up, and he looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with the eyes of a wolf.

"Seriously." The shopkeeper took a step back, wondering if this person had anything else in mind, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Sure enough?" Ye Guan pressed forward step by step and asked again.

"Sure enough." The shopkeeper took another step back, swallowed his saliva, and replied.

"Childe, there is a letter here, which the guest asked me to pass on to you......" The shopkeeper was interrupted by Ye Guan's voice before he finished speaking.

"Hurry up, little second brother, serve me food, don't eat for free lunch, I'm worried about what to eat at noon, I'm really sleepy and met a pillow, but give it to me, give me ten steamed buns, and pack it for me if I can't finish it!" The food for the next few days is gone! Ye Guan hurriedly asked Xiao Er to serve him food.

"Childe, here's a letter, it's ......"

"Hurry up, go and serve the food, do you want to hack the money that someone else paid me?"

………………

An hour later, Ye Guan, who was full of wine and food, picked his teeth and sat motionless in front of the table with a full burp. There are also a lot of meals in a food box.

"Hiccup, by the way, little second brother, what kind of letter did you say?" Ye Guan was drinking tea while picking his teeth, and suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper said that the person had left him a letter, so he finally asked after he was full of wine and food.

"My lord, you finally remembered."

Ye Guan turned out to be the letter handed over by the shopkeeper, and only a few words were written on the envelope.

"The son of the prosperous age of danger"
