Originally, the story of the previous chapter could be ended when Jia Lian was there, but the operation officer was actually a person whose eyes lit up when he heard the weathering case, so he had to force us to tell another story about his son-in-law.

Okay then...... Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall?

Put down the bricks in your hands!

Fan Xiliang, he is indeed a son-in-law...... However, Meng Jiangnu didn't recruit Fan Xiliang because she had an affair with others, otherwise she wouldn't have to cry on the Great Wall.

All in all, Fan Xiliang's example is a bit special!

First of all, I have to explain one point, that is, the story of Meng Jiangnu...... In fact, it is fiction, and there is no such thing in real history.

In history, the prototype of Meng Jiangnu was Qi Jiang, the wife of Qi Liang, the doctor of Qi during the period of Duke Qi Zhuang, and was later named Mrs. Meng Jun, whose surname was Jiang, and was the princess born to the concubine of Duke Qi Zhuang.

In the fourth year of the reign of Duke Zhuang of Qi, Qi Liang was killed in the battle of Qi State.

Knowing the bad news, Qi Jiang went to the foot of the Great Wall to cry and mourn Qi Liang, crying bitterly for three days in a row, and even refused to leave when the sacrificial condolence platform was wet and collapsed by the rain.

So what Qi Jiang cried was just a temporary earthen platform for sacrificing the souls of the dead...... This thing is not sturdy, and it will collapse when it rains.

In fact, the story of Qi Liang's wife is recorded in it to praise his sincere love for Qi Liang...... This person is enough for a girl, and he refuses to leave when the platform collapses.

So later generations spread falsehoods, so that this story gradually became the appearance of Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall of Qin in order to find Fan Xiliang's bones.

However, just as we were talking about it, the tiger-headed operation officer suddenly interrupted: "Wait, you said that the prototype of Meng Jiangnu is from Qi and also went to the foot of the Great Wall to mourn Qiliang, why did a Shandong person go to Hebei to cry for her husband?" ”

This was really shocking that we had a mouthful of saliva stuck in our throats, and only after beating our chests did we ask: "Who said that Meng Jiangnu went to Hebei to cry for her husband?" ”

"Didn't you say that? Go to the foot of the Great Wall to pay condolences? Who in Chinese does not know that the Great Wall stretches from Hebei in the west to Gansu in the east? Hebei is still the closest place to Shandong! ”

At that time, I almost squirted a mouthful of old blood on the table: "In your eyes, the Great Wall in the world is only the Qin Great Wall?" ”

"Isn't it? Besides this, where is the Great Wall? ”

"You're still from Shandong, do you know the Great Wall of Qi?"

This is located in the territory of Qi State, which was built by the Duke of Qi Huan, mainly to prevent the invasion of Lu in the south!

The Great Wall of Qi is built on the ridge of the undulating Taiyi Mountains, starting from Pingyin in the west, passing through Feicheng, Jinan, Laiwu, Boshan, Linqu, Yishui, Anqiu, Juxian, Wulian to Jiaozhou into the sea, with a total length of more than 1,200 miles.

However, the main function of the Great Wall of Qi is to guard against the Lu State in the south, and in 256 BC, the king of Lu Qufu was broken by the Chu State in the south, and the Lu State perished, and the Great Wall was completely useless, and no one went to operate and repair it, and soon collapsed and abandoned in the long river of history.

Speaking of which, some friends who are not from Shandong may be confused: "Isn't Shandong called the land of Qilu?" Both are from Shandong, why did Qi build a Great Wall to defend against Lu? ”

This one...... That's because there is an enmity between Qi and Lu.

As we all know, the State of Qi is the 800-year-old Jiang Ziya feudal state of the Xingzhou Dynasty, and it is the first of the princes in terms of national strength and monarchical status.

In addition, there was also a Zheng State on the side of the Qi State, that is, the feudal state of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty who surrendered to King Wu of Zhou.

One is a military advisor with high merit, and the other is a resentful remnant of the former dynasty, if he doesn't find his own person to watch them, King Wu of Zhou can't sleep steadily.

So, King Wu of Zhou sealed his younger brother Zhou Gongdan in Qufu, south of Mount Tai, which was the later Lu State.

From the very beginning, Lu Guo's self-positioning was to monitor the every move of Qi and Zheng, and from time to time he would write letters to the king of Zhou to reflect the domestic social problems of the two countries, so as to make small reports...... Do you think Qi Guo can treat him?

Do you know the saying 'the blessing of all people'? This story comes from, yes, Mencius is the doctor of the Lu State.

The story of 'The Blessing of Qi People' is about a family of Qi people who lived in Linzi City, and his family married a wife and a concubine.

This Qi man came back drunk every day outside, and boasted like his wife and concubine that the people who invited him were rich and famous people in the city.

However, the wives and concubines who had not seen guests come to the door for a long time couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, so they quietly followed behind Qi Ren on this day, and finally found out that he was actually going to the cemetery outside the city to help the dignitaries pretend to be filial piety and cry graves, in exchange for wine and meat after other people's sacrifices.

At the end of this story, Mencius despises Qiren for his greed for vanity and wealth, which makes him embarrassed in front of his family.

However, I disagree with Mencius.

I don't know if you have noticed, Qi Ren's family background should have been good at first, if he could barely make ends meet by pretending to be filial piety and crying graves for others every day, he would not take concubines after marrying a wife to increase his financial burden.

Therefore, Qi people should be because the shop has been closed down due to poor management recently, which is why it seems that the family is in the middle of the road...... In a word, the sluggish family business happened after people married wives and took concubines.

Although the family is in the middle of the road, the wives and concubines of the Qi people do not feel that their living standards have dropped significantly...... If the wife and concubine eat chaff every day, they will not believe that their husband has a good banquet with the magnates in the city every day.

At first, Qi Ren's wife and concubine didn't think that her husband had deceived her, but she was just curious why the guests who used to visit this Qi person didn't come, so she quietly followed behind Qi Ren.

Therefore, although the Qi people were so depressed that they had to go to the cemetery on the outskirts of the city to pretend to be filial piety and cry graves in order to make a living, they still did not treat their wives and concubines wrongfully...... What a good man.

Even if it's a lie, it's a white lie to preserve the dignity of your family!

Although Mencius did not finish the story, it is clear that the fate of the Qi people will not be as unbearable as Mencius imagined in the book.

Once the wives and concubines of the Qi people recognize the current situation, they will share the joys and sorrows with the Qi people, and save the food and clothing of the inner house, so as to make the capital and hand it over to the Qi people to plan and operate...... What is the future of the Qi family, it is really exciting!

Even if you are in the dust, you still try your best to create a warm home for your loved ones, and such people will never do the kind of thing that deceives customers with shoddy goods...... Business people should always be honest, Qi people have the biggest advantage of a successful businessman!

In time, Qi people will definitely have another day to soar...... I've always believed so!

I wrote a lot without paying attention, but it can be seen from Mencius that the prejudice and misunderstanding of the Lu people against the Qi people are very deep.

Therefore, although Qi and Lu are both Shandong villagers, they have always looked at each other's noses as not noses, and their eyes are not eyes, and it is inevitable that they will fight militarily.

In short, before the fall of the Lu state, the Qi state launched more than fifty attacks on the Lu state, including the battle of Qiliang and Juju mentioned above.

The problem is that although Qi is strong and Lu is weak, Qi does not dare to really destroy Lu State...... Qi is the courtier of the king of Zhou, Lu is the brother of the king of Zhou, and Qi annihilates Lu is the following crime, he really doesn't dare!

However, if the Qi State does not attack the Lu State, once the Lu State can breathe, it will soon gather an army to counterattack the Qi State...... This is consumed by a tug-of-war.

So the State of Qi finally used the power of the whole country, successively went through three generations of King Qi, and finally built the Great Wall of Qi to defend the Lu State, which ended the Qilu tug-of-war that lasted for hundreds of years.

As mentioned earlier, Meng Jiangnu is crying about this Great Wall of Qi.

It's just that the Great Wall built by Qin Shi Huang is more famous among the people, so the 'crying husband in front of the Great Wall of Qi Jiangqi' was rigidly set up by later generations to become 'Meng Jiangnu crying husband in front of the Great Wall of Qin', which can really be described as 'people lie in the ground, and the pot comes from the sky.' ’

But then again, even if 'Meng Jiangnu Crying on the Great Wall' is just a fictional folk tale, it belongs to the kind of good story with rigorous logic and natural structure, which is regarded as real history by later generations.

I don't know if you have noticed, Meng Jiangnu's reason for marrying Fan Xiliang is more 'weird': Meng Jiangnu went to the pond to pick lotus flowers, and Fan Xiliang saw her elbow, so she could only marry him.

Could it be that in the past, when women went to the river to do laundry, they didn't roll up their sleeves? If this is a man who goes to the river to drink saliva, he can't pull several cars of daughters-in-law home?!

So it's an excuse, something like, 'You're walking and bumping into me, you're going to have to marry me.'"

Then why did Meng Jiangnu have to marry Fan Xiliang?

What do you think, how did Meng Jiangnu meet Fan Xiliang? People went to the pond to pinch the lotus, who knew that this one went down, the lotus came up, and Fan Xiliang under the water also came up!

Obviously, Fan Xiliang was hiding in the lotus pond at that time, and Meng Jiangnu took Fan Xiliang in her mouth and took away the reed pole used to ventilate the water surface...... Can people not come out?

Speaking of which, you'll probably understand what I mean: Fan Xiliang is actually a desperate fugitive who can only hide in the lotus pond to avoid pursuit!

So what did Fan Xiliang do again?

You have to think about what other bad things Qin Shi Huang did in addition to building the Great Wall.

That's right, book burning!

Fan Xiliang, he is actually a Confucian who is being hunted down and arrested by the Qin army!

In order to rescue Fan Xiliang, Meng Jiangnu quietly took him home and sent him a steaming meal.

However, when Lao Mengtou came home and saw Fan Xiliang, he immediately stomped his feet: "It's broken!" We're in trouble. ”

It turns out that the Qin Dynasty implemented a joint sitting system: Do you know that the junior next door to your house goes out at night to be a thief? I don't know? His family lives next door to your house, why don't you know that there is a wall between them?

Sensei said, Xiao San'er is a thief, and he should be beheaded according to the law; Your neighbor didn't report to the government in time and cut off his nose as a punishment!

Hey, Qin's law is strict, that's what it looks like.

So this Fan Xiliang, who is of unknown origin, will soon be reported to the government by the Meng family's neighbors, unless...... The Meng family can give Fan Xiliang an identity!

Didn't you all look at my girl's arm? Then you will be my Meng family's son-in-law from now on!

Going to someone to be a son-in-law has always been an act that makes others look down upon...... Since you went to someone else's house to be this son-in-law and did such a shameful thing, from now on you will no longer be a member of my family, and your family will no longer recognize you!

A son-in-law can't check his personal origin, so Fan Xiliang finally got rid of the identity of a fugitive for the time being.

However, the Qin Law will not let you take advantage of the loopholes, in the Qin Law, the criminals are treacherous, and these four categories belong to the registered black households...... As long as the country wants to build a city wall and build a palace, you have to go to labor, and when you finish repairing it, you will go home, and you deserve to die of exhaustion.

This is 'just leaving the tiger's mouth, and meeting a jackal again', so Fan Xiliang was arrested to repair the Great Wall.

In fact, as long as Fan Xiliang is patient for a few years, he can't go home...... Why did Meng Jiangnu cry on the Great Wall? Because the people who repaired the city wall with Fan Xiliang came back, but Fan Xiliang did not come back.

I heard that Fan Xiliang died at the foot of the Great Wall, so Meng Jiangnu went to cry for her husband's body.

Don't you think it's strange that Fan Xiliang was buried under the walls of the Great Wall?

If, as the story goes, the craftsmen who built the walls were to die of exhaustion and were filled into the walls, there would be no one to work...... Lao Tzu endured hardships and was tired as a cow and a horse for you Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall, but he was tired to death and ended up so miserably, then I just lay down and didn't do it!

Anyway, it's all death, Supervisor, you are tired and give me a knife!

Therefore, those craftsmen who died normally during the operation will definitely be properly buried, and their families can also receive generous rewards and pensions, so as to ensure the construction efficiency and quality of the craftsmen.

Fan Xiliang was not exhausted, and he was not built into the city walls...... He was buried in the pile pit of the foundation of the city wall, which was an extremely cruel means of sacrifice, 'human martyrdom'!

However, in the past, 'human martyrdom' was used by criminals who committed capital crimes and were unforgivable, so ...... Fan Xiliang wanted to flee home in the process of repairing the city, but was captured by the Qin army patrolling on the way.

In order to make an example in front of the craftsmen, Fan Xiliang was taken as a 'martyr'!

But later, Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall because the descendants were in YY, 'The Great Wall is still there, how could it be cried back then'?

Besides, even if Meng Jiangnu cries and collapses the Great Wall, it's useless, want to find Fan Xiliang? You'll have to dig up all the graves!

Take a look, Meng Jiangnu also has to come to sit in the book.
