Chapter 332: The Feast (I)

- Two days later, it was the wedding of Erlang and Banniang, and the two finally came together after many years, which was naturally gratifying, and the wedding was very grand, which really kept Chen Ke busy for a few days.

It was not until the day after the wedding that the Chen Mansion returned to quiet, Chen Ke easily quieted down, let the widow burn a furnace of incense, leaned on Du Qingshuang's lap, and read the Arabic "The Statesman", this important work of Plato, Chen Ke only heard his name in his previous life, did not see his text, I really can't imagine that he can read it in this life, which shows the miracle of creation.

"The Statesman" is an important political science work of Plato's late period, which, together with the "State" and "Law", expounds all aspects of the state, law and politics of the Athenian civilization, especially its highly rational logical thinking, so that Chen Ke, who has been accustomed to the "Tao is the Tao and the Tao is not the Tao", feels like a breeze on his face and his spirit is shocked.

This is exactly what he needs, the crystallization of foreign wisdom and civilization, and it is a magic weapon to help the Song Dynasty scholars learn rational thinking and see the world from another perspective. It's a pity that Chen Ke's current Awen skills are too poor to interpret in depth...... It's not that he doesn't have to work, but the translator hired from Guangzhou only knows the words used in daily life, and if he is a little deeper, he is blind. Helpless, Chen Ke could only study on his own while waiting for Bageri to send a special scholar.

However, Chen Ke is very tenacious, although he scratches his ears and cheeks from time to time, his eyes are never separated from the pages. Besides, with Du Qingshuang serving carefully, serving tea and water from time to time, peeling a petal of orange, carefully removing the white silk, and sending it to his mouth, it is not bitter.

Unknowingly, it was almost noon, and I had read most of the "Politicians", so Chen Ke put down the book, stretched his waist and said, "My back hurts." ”

Arou immediately understood. So he came up and kneaded him. Chen Ke smiled with enjoyment: "If you study like this, you won't get tired for a day, why didn't you think of this method in your early years?" ”

"If that's how you study." Du Qingshuang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the officials won't be able to hit the Jinshi." ”

"That's right." Chen Ke pointed to his neck and motioned for Ah Rou to rub it there, and saw Ah Cai appear at the door. Xiaobu approached the report: "My lord, the arrogant prince is here again. ”

"What's the matter," Chen Ke said, "The prince of the people is not arrogant." ”

"What's that called?" Ah Cai asked with wide eyes.

"Whoa." Chen Ke burst out laughing, then got up and went to the front yard to meet the guests.

Ah Cai was stunned and puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"Wolves." Or Arou is smarter.

"Yuan Ze," came out and saw Wang Yan changing into a black robe, still sitting there with a pair of dark circles under his eyes as if someone else owed him eight hundred hanging money. Chen Ke asked with concern: "What, have you stayed up late late?" ”

"I haven't slept for the past few days." Wang Yan's eyes were bloodshot. There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I've read all those books of Long Lao'er." ”

"It's hard work," Chen Ke said with a smile, "But what's the gain?" ”

"Yes." Wang Yan nodded and said, "He is dead." ”

"Oh?" Chen Ke frowned slightly and said, "How do you say it?" ”

Wang Yan took out a book from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Ke and said, "Look at ......"

Chen Ke looked at the book. It is the "Treatise on Etiquette" made by Longchang period. As soon as I flipped through it, I turned to a page with a bookmark. He read very quickly, and at a glance, he could see the contents of two pages at a glance. Seeing that he had a lot of derogatory remarks about Zhou Gong, and focused on the fact that the article "Golden Silk" was a forgery of later generations.

The "Golden Silk" chapter is included in the "Book of Shang", and the Duke of Zhou prayed to his ancestors and was willing to replace the policy of King Wu of Zhou. To put it simply, in the year after King Wu defeated Yin Xuan, the cause of the unification of the world had not yet succeeded, and he suddenly fell seriously ill and the ministers were afraid. Zhou Gong took himself as a hostage, set up an altar to hold the Gui, and prayed to heaven that if our Ji family owes God a son, I am willing to exchange my life for the hair of the martial king, and then put forward the reason that I will serve the gods and the like, balabala. Finally, if it is just a false alarm, please send an auspicious sign from heaven to comfort us bewildered courtiers.

After praying, he opened the lock and looked at the book of fortune hidden in the cabinet, and it was indeed an auspicious sign. Zhou Gong immediately put the book into a cabinet bound with gold wire...... That is, it is sealed in the 'golden silk' and warns the keeper not to leak it. Then he entered the palace to congratulate King Wu and said, "You have no calamity, I have just accepted the order of the three previous kings, so that you only need to think about the long-term plan of the Zhou family, and nothing else." This so-called Heaven is thoughtful for the Son of Heaven. ’

The next day, King Wu Huo Ran recovered.

It is such a simple story, which has always been regarded as a proof of Zhou Gong's virtuous and benevolent virtues, but Long Changqi boldly claimed that the 'Golden Silk' story was fabricated by Zhou Gong, and accused Zhou Gong of being a traitor!

"This old man is bold enough." Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh. You must know that in this era, the status of the Duke of Zhou is comparable to Confucius, even better than Mencius, and the Zhenzong Dynasty has just built the Zhou Gong Temple, and the old man here slapped him in the face......

But just scolding Zhou Gong twice, what is it? In the Song Dynasty, there was freedom of speech, academic chaos, and lack of authority, and scholars and scholars scolded whomever they wanted, and Confucius was also everywhere. With this old and today's status, it doesn't seem to hurt him in the slightest, right?

Seeing that Chen Ke's eyes were full of doubts, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and said softly: "Don't you feel familiar with the way Duke Zhou finally collected books?" ”

"The way of collecting books...... isn't that the origin of the name 'Golden Silk', Chen Ke muttered: "What's wrong? ”

Seeing that he was so slow to react, Wang Yan's contempt in his heart became even greater, and he said patiently: "There are also people in this dynasty who have imitated ......."

"Ah, you mean...... "Chen Ke can't pretend to be stupid anymore, otherwise it's too much." He lowered his voice and said, "The Golden Alliance? "This remake is 10,000 times more famous than the original. The story of the domineering old lady and the confused brother is still a household name after a thousand years.

"Hmm." Wang Yan lowered his voice and said: "Legend has it that the so-called 'Golden Kui Alliance' is actually nothing, but it was fabricated by King Zhao Han to flatter Taizong in order to save his fate. "Otherwise, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, this kid really dares to say.

But it is indeed true, Zhao Da died in the 'Candle Shadow Axe' for unknown reasons, and the throne was attributed to Zhao Er. At that time, the world was in an uproar, and everyone thought that Zhao Er killed his brother and usurped the throne, because the struggle between the brothers had become white-hot at that time, and Zhao Da's eldest son Zhao Dezhao was already twenty-five years old, and his second son Defang was already an adult, why did Zhao Da pass his son and pass the throne to Zhao Er?

In order to cover up the audio-visual and create the legitimacy of his own succession, Zhao Er tried his best, and even did not hesitate to revise all the official documents such as the living notes of the Taizu Dynasty to highlight his wisdom and martial arts, how Taizu respected him, and hinted several times to pass on the throne to him.

But the people at that time had experienced the Taizu era, and everything he did was to cover up, which could only make people more despised. Just when Zhao Er was on the verge of collapse, Zhao Pu, who had been fighting with him all his life, suddenly said in a voice: "Don't fight, it is reasonable for Zhao Er to be the emperor, because this is what his mother said, and Zhao Da also approves." ’

Zhao Pu said that before the Empress Dowager Du died, she just didn't look blind. Zhao Da is a filial son, and asked distressedly: 'Mom, what else do you have to worry about?' Empress Dowager Du said: "I am worried that the Zhao family will repeat the fate of the Chai family. 'What is the fate of the Chai family? The orphans and widows were robbed of the throne by Zhao Da.

So he ordered Zhao Da to pass the throne to Zhao Er after his death, and then pass the throne to Zhao San after Zhao Er's death.

Zhao Pu said, why do I know? Because I was present as a witness, I also wrote the will of the Queen Mother, and after it was written, it was put in a gold box and buried somewhere in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

When Zhao Er heard this, he understood it, and immediately ordered someone to look for it, and sure enough, he found the golden box, opened it, and sure enough, as Zhao Pu said, there was a will that the Queen Mother ordered Zhao Da to pass on the throne to him. At that time, Zhao Er burst into tears, held Zhao Pu's hand and said, "Good comrade, thanks to you, otherwise the widow will be wronged." So the legal basis for Zhao Er's succession was found, and Zhao Pu was also reborn and returned to the political hall to kill the Quartet......

This is the so-called 'Golden Alliance', but it can't stand scrutiny at all. First, if there was such a thing, why didn't Zhao Pu take it out at the right time, and have to wait for seven years to see Zhao Er suffer before making a move? Isn't this playing with people? With Zhao Er's character, it's strange not to cut him, and let him be the prime minister. Second, when Empress Dowager Du made her will, Zhao Dezhao was already twenty years old, and Zhao Dachun was in his prime, so he couldn't see any signs that he would hang up in a few years.

The people of the time privately despised Zhao Pu, who was undisciplined, and Zhao Da regarded him as a brother, but turned his head and licked Zhao Er's asshole.

It's just that the Jinkui Alliance has become the fundamental basis for Zhao Er's succession, and no one dares to discuss it publicly. When it came to the Zhenzong Dynasty and even this Dynasty, it became an undoubted ancestral oracle. But now, Long Changqi said that the story of the 'Golden Silk' was fabricated by Zhou Gong, and accused Zhou of being a traitor, so what is the imitation of its Jinkui's 'Golden Kui' Alliance?

The dragon has reverse scales, and those who touch it die, no matter how lenient the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are, it is impossible to let him go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking at Wang Yan's pretending to be old-fashioned, Chen Ke shuddered. He just wanted to find out Long Lao'er's academic flaws and not let him be too proud. And Wang Yan's move is to ruin the old man's reputation!

Looking at Chen Ke's expression, Wang Yan knew that he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but say coldly: "If Longchang becomes a saint, all the scholars in the world will respect him." At this time, he is waving the flag for someone, and you have no hope for that person. He stared at Chen Ke tightly, and said calmly: "This is the time of life and death, and the kindness of a woman is unacceptable!" ”——
