Chapter 498: Two of the Six Pits
Oh, I have heard for a long time that the cultural hometown of Chu has the appearance of a prosperous era, and now it seems that it is ...... Not to exaggerate! The people of Chu are so ugly! Liu Yan sneered.
Of course, this is in "private", there are only "own people" around, and there are no students from the Chu State.
For these rude people in the Chu State, it is obvious that Liu Yan does not look down on them......
Liu Yan, born in Lu County, Yuzhou - although it is a county under Yuzhou, it is actually closer to Xuzhou, and it has been under the control of the Xuzhou Group since the Tao Qian era, and Liu Yan is also the person of Liu Bei, the Marquis of Qi.
In the history without the White Rabbit effect, Liu Yan also began to follow Liu Bei when Liu Bei was lingering in Xuzhou and Yuzhou, so although Liu Yan is very young, for Ji Han, he is definitely a "veteran" figure.
Liu Bei died of illness and death of the White Emperor, and when he was entrusted to Gu, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan were the ministers of Tuogu, and when Li Yan was impeached, Zhuge Liang initiated the impeachment, and Liu Yan was the first to sign it.
And Liu Yan was Ji Han's general at that time, so it can be said that he ...... His qualifications are not in vain!
Utilitarian words, although it is very dangerous to follow Liu Bei in the early stage, even if it is a waste, it can reap the benefits later.
After all, in terms of ability, Liu Yan has not led troops by himself, nor has any political achievements, and the main characters and Jian Yong overlap very much - they are all types that are easy to gain the favor of others and are good at arguing.
Liu Yan's qualifications are inferior to Jian Yong's, he is younger, and his merits are slightly inferior, in short...... It's the weakened version of Jian Yong!
The reason why he once became the top 5 of the Shu Han regime, in addition to his qualifications, was also because his surname was Liu - like Liu Bei, he was a clan relative who couldn't be far away, so he was more reused and trusted.
However, compared with Jian Yong, Liu Yan is not only lacking in ability, but also has more character flaws......
Like Wei Yan and Li Yan of the current Chu State, they are all one of the "Six Pits of Shu Han" criticized by Chen Shou, the writer of "Three Kingdoms", and even ...... Bai Tu felt that he should be the head of the six pits!
It's just because of the limited ability that the impact is smaller, unlike Wei Yan and Yang Yi, who made trouble to the extent that the Shu army was going to fight among themselves.
In history, Liu Yan had a conflict with Wei Yan on the front line during Zhuge Liang's Fourth Northern Expedition, and was directly reprimanded by Zhuge Liang - although Wei Yan's character is also flawed, his ability is there...... Liu Yan is not as good as Wei Yan's leg hair.
With Li Yan's experience, Liu Yan also admitted it, and directly wrote a review to Zhuge Liang to keep his official position, but he was driven back to the city from the front line.
At that time, the core of Shu Han was turned with Zhuge Liang, and he was driven back to the city from the front line, which was basically a signal to stay away from the core of Shu...... Psychological problems are even more problematic, and I become in a trance and crazy.
As a result, a year later, in the first month of the New Year's Festival, Liu Yan did a big thing......
Liu Yan's wife, Hu, entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother for the New Year - it is said that the courtiers' wives and daughters entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother during the New Year, which was considered a custom in the Han Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, because Hu stayed in the palace for a month, Liu Yan insisted that his wife had an affair with Liu Chan, not only publicized it, but also asked his soldiers to beat his wife with shoes on the street, and divorced Hu with a letter of resignation......
However, Liu Yan made a lot of noise about Liu Chan's affair with his wife, and the matter obviously would not end up with his divorce.
Hu Shi also complained to Liu Yan after the incident, and Shu Han Yousi also reacted very quickly at that time, I don't know whether Liu Chan directly instructed or Zhuge Liang commanded behind the scenes, in short, it was a quick knife to cut through the mess, and directly captured Liu Yan, and with the current crime of "the person who died is not the wife of Laos, the face is not the place to be performed", the titular Shu Han top5 beheaded and abandoned the city.
Since then, Shu Han has also cut off the rule that has been passed down from the Han family - his daughter-in-law will stay at his own house for the New Year, don't enter the palace!
The evaluations seen in the history books, including those edited by the Wei and Jin dynasties, no matter which edition, have a reprimanding and sarcastic attitude towards Liu Yan, and the white picture ...... That's probably the case.
After all, in terms of Hu's age, he is more than ten years older than Adou, not to mention that even if he can't trust Liu Chan, can't he still trust Fei Yi and Dong Yun?
Liu Chan wanted more palace maids and concubines in the palace, but they were all stopped by Fei Yi and Dong Yun, and it was Dong Yun himself who was in charge of the palace guards at that time!
Even Dong Yun didn't think that there was anything wrong with the Hu family's stay in the palace, so he wanted to come...... This matter is that the Queen Mother will stay with the Hu family for a while, after all, the whole city knows that Liu Yan has moved away from the core and is still crazy, and it is reasonable for the Queen Mother to appease the Hu family more.
Even this was originally a move to show his closeness to the royal family, but Liu Yan had to open his brain and make up this month's brain into an ethical blockbuster, believing that it was Liu Chan, who he watched grow up, who had an affair with his wife in front of Dong Yun, or the pimp pulled by the Queen Mother......
This is Liu Bei's son, not Cao Cao's son!
This matter was written as a script for those wild opera troupes, and they had to be sentenced to several years if they were caught.
Of course, Bai Tu also believes that Liu Yan's reaction at that time was largely because he had gone crazy after being driven out of the core decision-making level.
The six pits of Shu Han are probably all seriously flawed in character, but they are just ...... Liu Yan also has one more original sin - dish!
No matter how pitiful others are, their abilities are all on the table, so Bai Tu feels that he is the most pitiful.
Liu Yan came to Jinling at this time as a candidate from outside Chu, and he, who has always been pretentious, already has contempt for these rustic candidates from the Chu State!
However, Yang Yi, who was about the same age as him on the side, glanced at Liu Yan with disdain in his eyes at this time, and then said meaningfully: "It's not how the scholars of the Chu State are despicable, but so 'ugly', and they are also the scholars of the Chu State." ”
Needless to say, Yang Yi is also one of the six pits of Shu Han, but he is different from Liu Yan, although his personality is flawed, he also has ability.
Even......
If he and Wei Yan were only one in Shu Han, maybe neither of them would be a pit, it was the contradiction between the two that was too deep, and it intensified after Zhuge Liang's death, that both of them became "giant pits", or ...... "giant babies".
After Shu Han's Optimus Prime Zhuge Liang fell, the two of them, as important ministers and generals of Shu, and they had the responsibility of leading the border army, they didn't think about how to stabilize the situation in Shu after Zhuge Liang's death, but each of them supported troops and fought on the front line!
So even if Yang Yi won Wei Yan at that time, branded Wei Yan as a villain, and established himself as the heir of the prime minister, he ...... After returning to the city, he was immediately demoted of military power and given an inflated official position.
Later, Yang Yi's state also deteriorated, shouting all day long that he had made meritorious contributions to Ji Han and shed blood for the Liu family, and even threatened what if he took refuge in Wei...... After being degraded and distributed, he had to go to the book to continue scolding, and finally ended up committing suicide.
Yang Yi is a native of Xiangyang, but in history, Yang Yi first became the master of Fu Gan - Cao Wei's "Jingzhou Thorn History" - and then resolutely took refuge in Ji Han.
Now Yang Yi in the world of Chengji is obviously very sympathetic to Liu Bei, and after he surrendered to Chu in Jingzhou, he went north to seek refuge with Liu Bei.
When Bai Tu was touring the west of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did not feel too sorry when he learned that Yang Yi had left Jingzhou.
Although Yang Yi is capable, he has to guard against the fact that he has a very low relationship with Wei Yan, and if it is gone, it will be gone......
At this time, Yang Yi and Liu Yan came to Jinling together to take the academic examination - Yang Yi was contemptuous of Liu Yan, who was only more qualified and from the clan, and had been showing off.
After listening to Yang Yi's words, Liu Yan didn't react for a while, and it took a while to understand what Yang Yi meant......
In the previous visits and conversations, Liu Yan has also discovered that many of these candidates from the Chu State are "real ordinary families"!
Some even have parents who are just ordinary peasant households, just working in workshops during their spare time, and earning more money so that they can read and write......
Thinking about it carefully, they had encountered so many candidates from the Chu State, among whom the ...... were from the real scholar clan Twelve out of ten?
This is also the reason why many people outside Chu gradually change from disdain to solemnity in their hearts - it is not that the scholars of Chu are ugly, but that they are gradually beyond the stage of "scholars can study and have a future"!
Instead, it's in your hometown......
In today's troubled times, in order to protect themselves, these ordinary farmers can only rely on the local scholars, either by the imperial court or by the "covered" scholars, and their children and grandchildren are like this.
Study?
What do you think?
And the fact that the State of Chu was able to do this shows at least two things......
First, in the Chu State, the proportion of "rich households" who have no worries about food and clothing is very staggering, and the second is that in the Chu State, the cost of Mongolian education and even advanced education is very low!
"So what? Yi Di has a king, it is not as good as the death of Zhuxia, ......" Liu Yan also realized the problem behind this, but he still sneered unconvinced.
This was said by Confucius, and later generations have different "interpretations" of this saying.
However, it is certain that the "Yidi Monarch" of this sentence is to ridicule the monarchs of Chu and Wu at that time, and the mainstream interpretation of the Han Dynasty is that Confucius lamented that the "Yidi" of Chu had competent kings, but the countries of "Zhuxia" did not have competent monarchs.
Liu Yan is mentioning it now, but he wants to ridicule - a group of Yidi, who have learned some culture, can't change their Yidi nature!
It just so happens that Bai Chu is also called "Chu", which has a more mocking effect.
After Yang Yi heard this, she stared at him for a while, eager to ask him......
Who didn't solve the problem of geometric calculation just now, but the Chu State examinee who was a bricklayer at home solved it in three or two clicks?
Liu Yan was a little annoyed and embarrassed by Yang Yi, and Yang Yi didn't want to get along with Liu Yan, who was more trusted by the lord, after all, so he just reminded him......
"According to King Confucius's interpretation of the Analects, this sentence is 'a country without rules and correct ideas, even if there is a virtuous monarch, it is not as good as a country with rules and correct ideas, when there is no virtuous monarch', Chu State in the imperial examination and academic examination, the interpretation of Confucianism is based on Xinxue, although it will not be specially examined, but be careful not to quote indiscriminately and lead to deduction of points." Yang Yi said lightly.
