The so-called Zen Rang is an important product of the ancient utopia fiction of Confucianism, and in fact it is impossible to exist at all. If, according to some people in later generations, the era of Yao Shunyu was still a primitive democracy of tribal alliances, then the succession of the throne also came from the election rather than the direct identification of the previous generation of leaders; Moreover, there are records of Shun forcing Yao and Yu Fang Shun in the "Bamboo Book Chronicle". Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to say to these literati who have been poisoned by Confucianism.

Yes Xun just said that the three generations are different from the etiquette, so the etiquette before the three generations is also different from the later Zhou ceremony. There is no Zen rite in the Zhou ceremony, and even if there is this in the ancient rite of the Yao Shun era, the Zhou rite is not absorbed, and it is naturally lost, so it is said that "Zen is rude".

Hearing that it was no "courtesy" rather than "no reason", Cao Pi was somewhat relieved. But his original intention was to show his own thoughts, and to test the attitude of Hoon, it was Hoon who explained to him literally, which couldn't solve the problem at all. Therefore, he asked: "The king of Xiyan is a Zen son, and the son of Zen Wang Mang, are they all rude?" ”

Shi Xun pouted: "During the Warring States period, the etiquette collapsed, and you were polite?" "Yan Wang Hao gave up the throne to Xiang Guozizhi, it was a farce, and he may not have followed any etiquette-" As for Wang Mang's usurpation, it is all Liu Zijun (Liu Xin) who made up his ears, and he is good at pretending, what is it enough to talk about? "Liu Xin likes to tamper with classics and forge ancient books for his own political needs.

In fact, Xun's subtext is: Liu Xin can fake, can't we fake? In the original history, your kid later forced the emperor to usurp the throne, so he faked a set of Confucian rites. And it has been passed down through the ages - Liu Xin's gift for Wang Mang. There is no legend for posterity. As for the Jin Dynasty Wei, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, until the Later Liang Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, the source of the Zen farce is all in your Wei Dynasty and Han.

It's a pity that he can't say this too obviously, and his pretty eyebrows and eyes are shown to the blind, including Cao Pi, none of the people present seem to understand the subtext - it can be described as a pearl of secret investment. When I swept my eyes, I saw everyone or their faces were puzzled. Or dismayed, there are those who are clever, who are annoyed that they have not been able to find out their true intentions, and those who are honest or stupid, may wonder if Zen Jean is rude and rude, and whether he can still arch Cao Cao to do it.

Is Xun Xin saying let's bring the topic back to literature, and you will also be worthy of chanting the wind and the moon, talking about poetry and writing, how can you have the mind to mix with political struggles? So he smiled faintly and raised his glass: "Today's beautiful day." To meet all the kings, it is impossible to live without poetry. Ranxun is not good at dancing music. There is no reward, only to reward the works of the kings, and there is also income. Would you like to hear it? ”

Yo, Cao Pixin said that Hongfu also felt itchy and planned to make poems? It's okay, it is estimated that no matter how much he is tried, he will not be able to find out what is going on after all, so it may as well still come down to the literary affairs and listen to his masterpieces, then today's banquet will not be completely wasted. Hurriedly applauded and expressed their willingness to listen to Yagou—and the crowd naturally agreed.

There is a poem in Shixun's heart, which has been stored for a long time, and he has never had a chance to sell it, and today it is used to press the scene, which is enough to show his reputation, and now Naiman chanted loudly:

"Daya has not done it for a long time, who is Chen in my decline? Wang Fengwei vine grass, Warring States many thorn hazel. Dragons and tigers eat each other, and soldiers catch crazy Qin. The sound is faint, complaining and complaining. Yang Ma is agitated and depressed, and the flow is boundless. Although the abolition of the revival has changed, the charter has also been reduced to ......"

This is Li Taibai's most famous five-word ancient style, on the surface is lamenting the history of poetry, since the "Book of Songs", there are ups and downs, and now (Tang Dynasty) and to the great prosperity of the realm, I should inherit the fine tradition, for the poetry to open up a new style. But its deeper meaning is to hope that the imperial court can reuse itself, so as to cheer up the country and live up to the teachings of the ancestors - so at the end of the poetry essay, a sentence suddenly popped up: "I am determined to delete the narrative and reflect the thousand springs." If Xi Sheng is standing, he will never write in Zhulin. ”

The first half of Shixun completely copied Li Bai's original work, until "Since Jian'an came, it is not beautiful enough." "Because it's the Jian'an year now, what do you say "since Jian'an"? Li Bai said that the "Book of Songs" is the source of poetry, followed by Qu Yuan's sorrow, and then Yangxiong, Sima Xiangru's endowment, and even Jian'an's style, and in the Tang Dynasty, the rest is not enough. It was Xun who was not good at mentioning Jian'an's style bones, so he simply changed it to "Since moving east, the beauty is not enough to be treasured" - aren't Yang and Ma both from the Western Han Dynasty? Then I will say that since the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the poetry and literature have not been seen.

Li Baishi's poem is followed by "The sundae is restored to the ancients, and the clothes are expensive and halal." The group belongs to Xiu Ming, and the scale is leaping together. The literary quality is beaming, and the stars Luo Qiumin ...... "praise the glory of Tang poetry and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." It was changed to "The sundae is enlightened, and the teacher is noble and clear." The group belongs to Xiu Ming, and the clouds are transported together. The literary quality is binghuan, and the stars are Luo Qiumin. In the end, "I am determined to delete "Yunyun", Li Bai is bold and self-conscious compared to Kong Sheng, but Xun is not as bold as him, so he changed "Zhi" to "Mu", and the ending sentence became-"I admire the deletion of the description, and I will reflect a thousand springs." After stepping towards Zhou Gong, he swept away the crowd. ”

In fact, Xun's poem is the same as Li Bai's original work, on the surface, when talking about poetry, it seems to encourage the literati and writers here, and now the poetry atmosphere inherits the "Book of Songs", Qu Sao, and Ma Fu, and there are things in the same words, not re-carving, and you should continue to work hard to make the literary style of the times stronger and more vigorous - but in the depths of the words, there is still a political foreshadowing.

First of all, in our era, "Shi Bao Gui Qing Zhen", Shi refers to Taishi, Bao refers to Taibao, connected together, often refers to Zhou Gong and Zhaogong, the same clan important ministers who assisted King Zhou Cheng, and here it is an allusion to Cao Cao - Lao Cao is the leader of today's politics and the leader of the literary world, let's just follow his footsteps, don't think too much. The concluding sentence also says "Towards the queen of Zhou Gong", this "Zhou Gong" of course also refers to Cao Cao.

So it is Xun's meaning, only under the leadership of Cao Cao, the country can be rejuvenated, literature and art can have a future, you are right to praise Lao Cao's stinky feet - young man, please continue this shameless royal literati road until the black!

As for whether the Cao Pi brothers and the literati heard the subtext, Shi Xun didn't care.

Finally, the meeting ended, the sky was already dark, and it was Xun who said goodbye to Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others, because it was too late to return to the city, so he turned to Guan's village for the night. The next day, it was promised. Message received. Cao Cao had already passed Guò Yuan Pass two days ago. Entering the territory of Henan - it is estimated that at this time it has passed the old capital Luoyang.

On the evening of this day, a guest suddenly came to worship. This guest was wearing a cloak and concealing his complexion, and came to the back door quietly, because he was holding a token delivered by Shixun, and immediately entered the door, and hurried to tell Shixun. At this time, Xun had just finished dinner and was teasing the two girls to play. I saw that only four words were written on the name thorn handed over: "Jiyin old man." ”

When Xun saw it, his brows furrowed slightly, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and his heart said Why did he come?

Jiyin County is under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, in the past, when Cao De was the Taishou of Jiyin, he once asked Cao Cao for Shixun, and was appointed as the superintendent of the post to help him travel the county. That is, in the process of traveling to the county, Shi Xun met several people, one was Wu Zhen and Wu Jizhong. Seeing that it is broad and long, the second is that it is better to allow it. Seeing that it was the order of Changyi, there was also a Lu Hong and Lu Cifan who was lent to him by Cheng Yu that year, and he was still in the capital.

Then don't ask, the "old man of Jiyin" here is naturally Lu Hong.

Lu Hong's current identity is very special, he is engaged in the assassination of the Prime Minister's Mansion under Shi Li, a position that was previously called "school affairs" - to put it bluntly, Lu Hong is Cao Cao's first-class spy leader. This kind of spy has always been only responsible to Cao Cao, and even Cao Ang refused to contact him, but today Lu Hong actually took the initiative to find Shi Xun, which is extraordinary.

In fact, Lu Honghe is Xun Ben is an old man, and since Xun designed to kill Zhao Da, killing chickens and monkeys, Lu Cifan is very jealous of him, since he is unable to overturn it, he simply uses it as a backer. Shi Xun also wanted to help Cao Cao restrain these school officials who had always been unscrupulous, and at the same time hoped that with Lu Hong as an Olympic aid, he could secretly expand his power and avoid open guns and arrows from all sides - so as not to be attacked by Zhao Dan again - so the two smelled like each other, and soon came together secretly. Lu Hong often revealed some inside information to Shixun, but it was basically secretly transmitted through Guò's cronies, and it was the first time that he took the initiative to come to the door this night.

Something was wrong, Shi Xun didn't dare to slack off, and quickly asked Cao Miao to take his daughter away, and retired from the servants, so he secretly met with Lu Hong in the side room. When they met, he asked, "What is the urgency that puts Ci Fan in danger?" "If Cao Cao knows that you and I are secretly colluding and communicating, I'm afraid we won't have good fruit to eat, what is the matter, you have to take the risk to come to see me?

Lu Hong did not answer directly, but took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shixun. Shi Xun took it, and opened it in front of the candle, only to see that it was a letter, which read:

“…… Since the relocation of Xu, the state has been held by him, and the power has fallen, although the name is supreme, it is actually the same as the prisoner of Chu...... Now the Supreme One wept and asked the woman, 'Can the Son of Heaven live?' ’……”

What the hell am I going to?! This is clearly a letter written by Queen Fu to her father, which not only describes Liu Xie's dissatisfaction and fear of Cao Cao in detail, but also begs Fu Wan to find a way to help the Son of Heaven solve this problem - isn't that just to make Cao Cao's rebellion?!

Shi Xun remembered that there was indeed such a thing in history, but it was discovered by Cao Cao after many years - Fu Hou must have written more than one letter, maybe in addition to complaining, he also really planned something - so he copied the Fu family. In the romance, I put things together, and said that I died because of this, but according to the official history, when the incident was leaked, the old man had already hung up, and he escaped a catastrophe.

This time the history can be changed, the old man is still there, and this letter is obtained by the Cao family - but it is not certain, after Cao Cao learned about it in the original history, he did not plan to start immediately, and he wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, endure it for a few years, and endure it until he died......

The question is, Lu Cifan, since you have this letter, why don't you send a fast horse to report to Cao Cao, what is the purpose of bringing it to me? So he raised his head and looked at Lu Hong with doubt.

Lu Hong's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "After hiding this letter secretly, I will send the dead man to find out, and I will report it to Cao Gong ten days ago." "Is Xun secretly pinching his fingers, ten days ago? Wasn't that when Cao Cao hadn't left Xu Du yet? "What did Cao Gong say?"

"Cao Gong said: 'If the carbuncle is not cut, it will eventually be troubled - but after I pass the war, it will be started by itself.'" ”

When Xun heard this, he couldn't help but secretly fight a cold war - ah, Lao Cao, you are such a ghost! (To be continued......)
