"Hey, you can't say that," seeing that Director Dong was a little unhappy, Zeng Fan hurriedly explained, "Although he raises horses, it is not an ordinary horse, it is the horse of the Son of Heaven, so he will be made a marquis, according to the etiquette system of the imperial court, so he can enjoy the bronze!" ”

"You're not right," Before Director Dong could respond, Han Mei took over the conversation, "This bronze was not cast by Dong's father, it was cast by his descendant Dong Hu?" Excuse me, is he a prince? Don't forget, Dong Hu is just a historian, didn't the rubbings you just made very clear? “

She pointed to the rice paper and said vigorously, "Historian Dong is a martyr, praying for a long life, so that future generations can enjoy this punishment forever, it's very clear, but where does a historian get this right?" "She asks new questions,

"This historian is not the historian, do you think it is Ji Xiaolan who supervised the compilation of the Siku Quanshu by Guozi? This historian is the person next to the Son of Heaven,"

"Then Ji Xiaolan is not the person next to the Son of Heaven? He runs around with the emperor every day, closer? ”

"You've watched too many TV series, and if he wants to run around with the emperor all day long, don't write a book, that's just a joke, understand?" Zeng Fan said in a tone of lesson, "You don't know at all, how much power did the historians of that era have?" “

"How big? Isn't it just a person who stands behind the emperor and doesn't even dare to let out a fart? Han Mei pursed her lips and expressed dissatisfaction,

"You don't understand, he's not an official, he's an official who remembers history, and he doesn't need to speak at all! But although he didn't say anything, every word that the Son of Heaven said, he recorded it word for word, including the daily performance of the Son of Heaven and his ministers in the court! This is going into history! Zeng Fan held his chest up, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was the historian,

That is to say, to record it truthfully, no matter whether it is good or bad, he must record all the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven, not to mention the ministers, even the Son of Heaven does not dare to provoke him, for fear that he will write nonsense. Who doesn't care about their image? If this is recorded in the ugly deeds, it will not be left for 10,000 years? “

"Well, that seems to make sense?" Han Mei admitted, but still dissatisfied, "In such an era of etiquette, even if you have the right, the system cannot be destroyed?" ”

"Yes, I didn't say that the system can be destroyed, the rights of the historian are not small, I just said that he found someone to cast a bronze and others didn't dare to say anything. But this kind of bronze, the system is allowed, haven't you heard the phrase "one word and nine dings"? It's just that it is not allowed to cast a tripod representing the royal power at will, but it is a common utility tool used in the homes of princes and nobles, so it is not restricted at all. ”

"Hehe, you're really good, you're knowledgeable enough, but," Han Mei rummaged through the rubbing, and seemed to find a new problem, "This doesn't seem to be an ordinary utility, what makes me very strange is that it seems to commemorate a historical event?" “

"Historical events?" Hearing Han Mei's words, Director Dong finally spoke.

Zeng Fan's explanation just now had already made him angry, and Han Mei suddenly asked such a strange question, which couldn't help but make him excited, "What historical event?" Where is it written? His eyes widened, as if searching for answers.

"Look, isn't it all written on it?" Han Mei pointed to the three tiny characters on the second piece of rice paper, "疠, 蕲 (qi) Ai,"

"Hey, this word is really small, if you don't have good eyes, you can't see it," Director Dong looked at the rice paper as if he was sneering, "I thought it was a piece of black paper!" ”

"Yes, I also watched it for a long time before I could tell it,"

"Well, yes, furry is the plague, and Qi wormwood is the wormwood produced in Qi Di," the content of these three words, Director Dong is very familiar with it, and he himself is a doctor who is easier to understand, "If I guess correctly, it should have been in that era, there was a plague, they used the mugwort leaves produced in Qi Di to drive away the plague, in order to commemorate this event, they cast this Wei!" ”

"Master, you are right, this also explains why this historian surnamed Dong wanted to cast this sage, he is commemorating this historical event!" Han Mei was very excited,

"It is very likely that the plague, which was called the plague in ancient times, means that the human lung qi is blocked by the plague, which is the so-called plague qi, because it harms the human lung organs, and then causes poor breathing and insufficient oxygen, which causes the lack of power of the heart. The heart is also known as the general's officer, because of its lack of power, it causes the comprehensive failure of all organs. I understood that the people at that time did not have any medicine to cure the plague, so they had to resort to the method of fumigation with wormwood to cure and drive away the plague."

"You're right, worms, Gu, malaria, these things in ancient times all referred to plague. This word has appeared in the Book of Shang, the Book of Mountains and Seas, and the Zuo Chuan, which shows that in ancient times, plague was prevalent! Zeng Fan agreed with Director Dong's statement.

"This should be the earliest record of the plague by the ancients, because the ancients at that time lacked a scientific explanation for the plague, and they were helpless against the plague, so they had to blame the plague on God's punishment of mankind, which gave birth to the so-called myth and legend of exorcism."

"Yes, at the beginning, people just thought that the plague was the plague ghost conjured up by the evil ghost, just like the record in the 'Interpretation of the Name': "The plague is also a service, and there are ghosts and ghosts." Therefore, when the plague broke out, there was no better way for people to deal with evil spirits, but to pray to the gods, hoping to be protected by the gods."

"I know this, the earliest doctor was called a witch doctor, then a Taoist doctor, and then a Chinese medicine doctor," Han Mei took it mischievously,

"In the ancient court, the earliest person responsible for driving away the epidemic was actually a wizard, also called a witch Zhu, who was specifically responsible for eliminating the plague, wearing animal skins and masks.

"Speaking of which, I remembered, where is the wealth you are talking about?" Only then did Han Mei remember what she had just attracted her to.

"Hey, look, what is this?" Before her words fell, she heard Liu Li shouting again, only to see her holding a roll-shaped thing, waving to everyone.

It turned out that when others were chatting, she had been accompanying Yang Zijiang and tinkering with that ugly man, but she didn't expect that she really made a discovery.

"Haha, as I expected, there is something in here, Yang Zi, your hand is really strong, powerful, amazing!" Zeng Fan was full of praise......
