Leeks are not leeks, waves are not waves, Yao Shun is prosperous to cook chicken soup
(My first "This Three Kingdoms is a bit mysterious".,But even if you haven't read that book.,There won't be an obstacle to understanding.,This chapter is free.,Resume updating tomorrow.") )
In 189 AD, that is, in November of the first year of Yonghan, in front of the palace of Luoyang.
The sky was dark, and the cold wind was biting, like a knife, and it hurt people's faces.
Chuyi, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, got out of the car, only to find that there seemed to be a light snow in Luoyang. At this time, the sky was not yet dawn, it was dark, and only a few roosters and dogs barked were faintly heard.
"You go back." Chu Yi wrapped the mink coat on his body and said to the coachman.
"Whoa." The coachman nodded.
"Oh, by the way......" Chu Yi was about to enter the palace, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember that you seemed to say that you wanted to take your brother's family over a few days ago, and begged me to find them some livelihood." You came back from your hometown some time ago, why don't you mention this again? ”
"Thank you for your concern...... It's just that the villain's younger brothers and sisters are gone. The coachman's eyes were lowered, there was no joy or sorrow on his dark face, and most of his voice was lost in the cold wind.
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Why not? ”
The coachman's voice became more and more humble, his face showed a little embarrassment, and his lips trembled: "They are ...... was killed by the local soldier. Say they are moth thieves. ”
"Oh......" Chu Yi nodded, knowing in his heart, he stopped talking.
"But I know theirs, they ...... It won't be a moth thief! The coachman's expression became excited, he hunched his waist but raised his head, countless knife-like wrinkles on his face twisted together, until this time, Chu Yi finally saw the sorrow on his face clearly, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes were blank.
"I remember that your hometown is from Chen Liupingqiu." Chu Yi said lightly, "Your brother's family was all killed?" ”
"They also have a daughter, who has just turned twelve, and she is very good-looking...... The villain was thinking at the beginning that she could enter the house to serve the adults, and if she could be looked down upon by the adults and included in the room, it would also be a great blessing for her......"
"What about her?"
"No, it doesn't work...... She was ...... by those mounds The soldiers were defiled, and they were used as military prostitutes......"
The coachman's whole body was trembling, the sky was dark, and his face was dark. Chu Yi couldn't see clearly, he could only see that there seemed to be a fire burning in front of him.
Chu Yi asked, "Have you been rescued?" ”
The coachman instantly unloaded his strength and knelt down for Chu Yi, like a crawling old dog: "Thanks to the villain telling them that the villain was a slave in Lord Chu's mansion, they released my poor niece...... It's just that my niece's parents were killed, and people were ...... The brain is already broken, and he often goes crazy, and he doesn't know anyone. So the villain didn't dare to let the adults know. ”
"Go back and ask the steward to find a doctor for her, and I'll pay for it." Don't be too upset, she's alive after all. ”
"Thank you for taking it in, so that the villain can live like a person! Even if the villain is broken, it is difficult to repay the kindness of the adult! ”
The coachman kowtowed heavily, and the ground was stained with a dark red blood.
"I've rewarded you, you can go back." Chu Yi smiled, took off his gloves, threw them in front of the coachman, and turned around to enter the palace.
"It's cold, it's cold!" Chu Yi walked quickly into Liu Xie's palace room, and stomped his feet coldly, "See Your Majesty." ”
"Get up, Chu Shilang, you're finally here." Liu Xie, who was not yet ten years old, looked at Chu Yi and grinned, "You came later than Xun Shilang today!" ”
"Gongda." Chu Yi nodded slightly to Xun You.
"Zizhang." Xun You also nodded.
After Chu Yi and Xun You said hello, they sat down next to the charcoal basin, warmed up, and asked Liu Xiedao: "Dong thief has not been eliminated, I don't know why Your Majesty is so happy today?" ”
Liu Xie smiled: "Although Dong Thief is not dead, but I read a book yesterday and suddenly thought of something, so I was relieved a lot." ”
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter?"
"I read the books and said, in ancient times, the people did not know how to use fire, they did not know shame, they had no clothes, they did not know writing, they did not know etiquette...... It was the Suiren who taught people to use fire, the Fuxi who taught people to marry, the Xuanyuan who taught people to wear clothes, Cangjie who created words, and the Zhou Gong who created etiquette. These are the things we have now, but the people of antiquity didn't have them. ”
Chu Yi nodded: "That's right, these are the accumulation of history, and they are the inheritance left to us by our ancestors." ”
Liu Xie was slightly proud: "I read the book and said that in ancient times, there were fierce beasts eating people everywhere, floods were raging, and evil dragons were calamity to the world, and even the sky was tilted...... At that time, it was much more difficult than it is now. ”
Chu Yi and Xun You were slightly stunned, and listened to Liu Xie's words continue.
"But now, how difficult can we be as difficult as the ancients, no matter how chaotic this world is, it is not as dangerous as the ancients. We know what is etiquette, righteousness and shame, there is the greatness of etiquette, there is the beauty of uniforms, we can not only use fire, but also make exquisite food. Even the knowledge books accumulated by the Chinese ancestors for thousands of years are in front of us, Confucius and Mencius Laozhuang, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, Guan Shang Han Xun, Poetry and Etiquette, Huainan Honglie...... In the palace, there are hundreds of thousands of books in Biyong, Dongguan, Lantai and other places. It includes the Five Classics, Zhuzi, biography, and 100 schools of art...... You can read whatever you want, and you can learn whatever you want. Everyone freely discussed the study of warp and weft, and many people have learned the knowledge explored by ancient sages throughout their lives since childhood...... If there is no Dong thief to make trouble, this must be a prosperous era that China has never had for thousands of years, if the ancients knew about it, I am afraid they would envy us! ”
Chu Yi and Xun You looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Liu Xie didn't notice the faces of the two, and was still talking: "Chu Shilang, didn't you tell me, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the people in the world are better than the ancients." Compared with the previous waves, how happy we are for the back waves! Lao Tzu said that those who are content are rich. The so-called Yao Shun's world is probably nothing more than that. So when I think of this, I don't have so much sorrow. ”
Chu Yi and Xun You glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty...... who does 'we' refer to?" Chu Yi asked.
"Huh?" Liu Xie didn't understand, "It's all of us?" ”
"Ahh Chu Yi suddenly shouted softly.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Liu Xie was also surprised.
Chu Yi said solemnly: "Just now on my way into the palace, I found that someone despised the will of the emperor, and he should be beheaded!" ”
Liu Xie was a little strange: "Why do you despise me?" Who has despised me? ”
Chu Yi lowered his head and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, do you know, I heard that Gongda took a concubine a few days ago, and she looks so tender......"
The corners of Xun You's eyes twitched slightly: "Take someone else's compilation!" ”
Chu Yi coughed: "Your Majesty, do you know, Shangshu Zhou Zhongyuan took a concubine a few days ago, she is eleven years old, and she looks very tender. ”
"Do you want to take a concubine together now?" Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu with a blank look, a little strange.
"Back to Your Majesty, Chu Shilang remembered wrongly, the minister has not taken a concubine recently." Xun You's face was expressionless.
Chu Yi smiled: "Yes, the concubine is Zhou Shangshu, but this can't blame me for being wrong, the scholar who does not take concubines for three days and two ends, the minister is really confused...... If you want to say that Zhou Shangshu still has a vision, when he bought that girl from his parents, it only cost three buckets of rice...... Oh, Your Majesty may not know how much three buckets of rice there are, if one person saves a little to eat, a meal of gruel can be eaten for about a month. In peacetime, the bucket of rice is thirty, and the three buckets of rice are less than a hundred yuan. Cao Song and Cao Jugao, who were deposed last year, spent 100 million yuan to buy the five-month captain. Anyway, this week's Shangshu is really discerning, who knows that this dry little guy, after raising it for a few months, is still a little beauty, why don't you say I don't have such luck? A few days ago, the minister took a handful of rice and bought seven or eight little guys outside the city, but they were all vulgar and vulgar things......"
Liu Xie smiled: "Chu Shilang likes beauties? There are so many women in the palace, I can give you whoever you want. ”
Chu Yi shook his head: "The minister originally planned to do so, Zhou Shangshu got tired of that little beauty one day, so he went to Zhou Shangshu to ask for it." It's a pity that the little beauty died the next day. ”
"Dead? Why is that? Liu Xie was stunned.
"She's still too young, pitiful, only eleven years old, how can she stand the clouds and rain? He died that night, when he didn't stop bleeding. Chu Yi shook his head and sighed, and said casually, "However, it's just a subordinate, and if you die, you will die, but it's a pity that a little beauty is a child." Speaking of which, a subordinate also died in the minister's family, but he was killed by the minister's staff. ”
Liu Xie was puzzled: "Why? ”
"His hands and feet were not clean, and he stole a bite of chicken while serving food...... Your Majesty, tell me, this slave actually steals from his master's house, and if he is not killed with a rod, will he still be able to serve the people? And it's disgusting that my stuff was stolen by an inferior slave. ”
"Actually...... I don't think I really have to kill him, break his legs, that's it. ”
Chu Yi smiled: "Yes, Your Majesty is merciful, and you will definitely obey Your Majesty's will next time." If anyone dares to steal a bite of food again, the minister will break one of his legs. Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has a coachman, and this coachman is also a hard-working man. ”
Xun You smiled slightly bitterly.
Liu Xie was a little strange, he didn't know what Chu Yi wanted to say after saying it for so long, but he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong with this coachman?" ”
"The coachman's brother and sister-in-law were killed by the local county soldiers, and their twelve-year-old daughter was used as a military prostitute and was ...... day and night."
"What a guts!" Liu Xie couldn't help but be furious, "Why are they doing this? ”
"Because, the county soldier said, this family is a moth thief."
"What? Are they all Yellow Turban soldiers? ”
Chu Yi smiled: "What kind of yellow scarf, killing good and risking merit, has been there since ancient times." Whether it's a yellow scarf or not, how can others know? This little girl has been lewd by J for more than half a month, her brain is broken, and she is crazy. Pathetic. ”
Liu Xie also sighed: "It's quite pitiful, otherwise, I asked the imperial doctor to find a powerful imperial doctor to show her?" ”
Chu Yi shook his head: "Your Majesty, just now the minister lost her words, why did you say that you would send a doctor to heal her?" This little girl is very rebellious, and the minister will hand her over to the government when she goes back! ”
"Why is that?"
"Because these people actually went against His Majesty's wishes, and they didn't live in the world of Yao Shun where His Majesty lived. The little beauty was actually sold by her parents for three buckets of rice, and she had to go through personnel at the age of eleven, and she actually died because of it. The slave of my family was not allowed to be free, and he was about to be killed just for eating a bite of food, and my brother and sister-in-law of the coachman were innocently killed. That poor twelve-year-old niece was actually demented by someone! ”
"There are also those refugees outside Luoyang City, who actually died because of the soldiers and bandits, and they were buried in other places because of the plague. They were sold into slavery because they could not pay their taxes, and every day people were frozen and starved to death. They still compete to eat the corpses of the dead, they sell their sons and daughters, they even exchange each other's children, kill them and eat their flesh! They were starving, cold, and clothed, and had to serve as conscripts, and became crippled! ”
"I have 50 million people in the Han Dynasty, and there are 49 million grass people, I don't know how big the Chinese etiquette is, I don't know how beautiful the uniforms are, they can't eat exquisite delicacies, and they don't have the right to choose to learn any sage classics? They didn't live in the world of Yao Shun like His Majesty! It is disrespectful to be disrespectful to be unholy and to be so contemptible! ”
Liu Xie's face was red and white for a while, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
"I'm speechless, hehehe...... Enough, enough, Chu Shilang, you don't have to say it anymore......" Liu Xiesheng blushed, shuddered, and said with a forced smile.
"Your Majesty, how can you be considered a gaffe? In fact, the minister proposed that His Majesty should issue an edict to commend some people who lived in the prosperous era of Yao Shun, and call on the people of the world to follow them. ”
"What did you say?"
"For example, the kings of various counties, as well as the Hongnong Yang family, the Runan Yuan family, the Yingchuan Xun family, the Zhuojun Cui family, the Xiapi Chen family, the Beihai Gongsun family, etc., as well as some local wealthy families, such as the Wuji Zhen family, the Pingyang Yang family, the Cheng family Li family, the Quxian Mi family, etc., Your Majesty should issue an edict to commend them."
"Why?"
"Because of these rich families, the living rooms are lined up one after another, and hundreds of high-rise buildings are connected one after another. Their fertile fields are covered with the countryside, and they have thousands of slaves and maidservants, and they have chariots, boats, money, and farms in all directions. Hoarding is strange and full of capital. The treasures stored by such a person cannot be accommodated in a huge room. Their livestock, the valley could not bear it. Their demon boys and concubines filled the beautiful red mansions. They sang and danced in bands from the vestibule to the deep house. The staff of the guests waiting to be summoned were crowded in front of the door in staggered carriages and horses, and these people did not dare to leave easily or enter rashly. Their beef, mutton and pork are so abundant that they can't eat them or even stink them, and there are so many mellow and delicious wines that they can't drink them or even spoil them. The people around them tend to flatter according to their eyes and hearts. These people enjoy the joy of the world arbitrarily, and they are the 'we' in your mouth, Your Majesty, and the 'back waves' in your mouth. As for those who sold their sons and daughters, who traded for cannibalism, who threw themselves into slavery, who died of hunger and cold, and who were killed by soldiers and bandits......"
"Enough, enough!" Liu Xie blocked his ears and roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid to know the truth? So this world is not what you think? It turns out that most of the people are demon boys, beautiful concubines, slaves and slaves who are waiting for the princess? It turned out that they did not have a choice. They have long been demarcated. They have worked all their lives just to add bricks and tiles to the fancy houses of those upper-class celebrities? Do you remember what I told you about the frog that sits in a well and watches the sky, in fact, each of us is a frog, what we see and understand around us is a well, and we interpret the world according to our limited cognition. You're surrounded by princes, ministers, and scholars, so you're trapped in this well. The 'we' in your mouth is just 'them'. ”
At the end, Chu Yi's voice was much softer. There was a rippleless smile on his face.
"How can you see the hunger outside the city when you are in the city?"
"They're struggling, they're confused, they don't have anything, they just want to live – even if it's wagging their tails at people all day long, like a dog."
"Why are you still shaking? Do you want to order the Taiguan to prepare a bowl of chicken soup for you? Rest assured, you won't have nasty leeks in your chicken broth. ”
Chu Yi said softly.
