Chapter 6 The Flowing Cup Discusses the World
The official rank of the Snow Night Dynasty is divided into nine grades and eighteen levels, and each rank has a difference between the right and the subordinate. The Xueye Dynasty implemented the county system, dividing the original territory of the Seventeen Kingdoms into six states, namely, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou and Yangzhou. The state has a person who is an official of the three grades of the imperial court, and the state has a county, and the number of counties under the jurisdiction of each state is not the same, and the county has a county guard and four grades. The counties are in order of county, country, eup, and province, and counties with more than 10,000 households have one county commander, and counties with less than 10,000 households have one county magistrate. The Xueye Dynasty had a total of 1,578 counties, countries, towns, and provinces.
Cities such as the city of Holy River do not belong to any administrative division, and are directly under the jurisdiction of the county guards. Daliang County has a total of seven cities and 68 counties. The rank of the lord of each city is also different. But the fat man in front of him is undoubtedly from the fourth grade. The rank is even higher than that of the city lord of Gehuai City, the first city of Daliang County, and second only to the county guard and the commander of Daliang County.
Although the outside of the Su Mansion is extremely magnificent and atmospheric, but through the corridor, it is a very ordinary decoration, making it difficult to imagine that the most luxurious Su Fat Man actually decorates the outer house like a private house. People who enter the Su Mansion for the first time may have the illusion that this is a clean official.
"Little Brother Chu is a rare nobleman, so follow the fat man and me to the back hall to catch up with the old days, right?" Su Jingyan trotted over to Chu Liuzhen and said flatteringly.
Chu Liuzhen smiled, "I'm afraid you don't want me to come over, right?"
Su Jingyan immediately put on a sincere and frightened expression, "Little Brother Chu is joking, if the little brother looks down on the fat man's humble house, what if he lives for ten years and eight years?"
Chu Liuzhen waved his hand, "Lead the way......
Follow Su Jingyan through the front hall, pass through a white marble arched stone door, and enter the inner hall. As soon as Fang Yi walked into the back hall, Chu Liuzhen's eyes lit up, "Tsk, City Lord Su, you are a big deal......
After the fall of the "Spring and Autumn" kingdoms of the Snow Night Dynasty, the territory increased tenfold, and the number of officials increased several times. Su Jingyan's house is the residence of the old Sui Yipin officials, and since Su Fatzi took office, he has made many major changes to this mansion.
It is composed of two parts, the mansion and the garden, and although the mansion in front is modest, it is more generous, and the building is also the highest regulation of the Snowy Night Dynasty. The most obvious signs of the Snowy Night Dynasty are the façade and the number of houses. There are three doors in Sufu, two main halls, four back bedrooms, and there are matching halls on the left and right. There are two courtyards in the east and two courtyards in the west.
Walk through the arch, which is the garden. It is called "Jincui Garden". Echoing the mansion, the garden is also divided into east and west roads. The middle road is entered by a white marble arched stone gate. There are rockeries and bat ponds in front, and there are green sky and bat halls in the back, and the layout is endlessly evocative. There is a big theater building on the east road, the decoration in the hall is fresh and beautiful, and the vines are entangled, making people feel like watching the play under the vine and rose. At the south end of the theater building, there is a Ming Zhai and the winding path through the secluded, the green Yue, and the Liubei Pavilion constitute the garden in the garden. The ancient trees in the garden are towering, the strange stones stand in a forest, the mountains and rivers are around, the pavilions and pavilions are pavilions, and the corridors and loops turn.
At this moment, the two are sitting in the Liubei Pavilion, the Liubei is also known as the Liuzhen, and there is an explanation about the Qushui Liuzhen in the "Word Origin", "Drink in the meandering water, the wine banquet on March 3." It is a kind of entertainment held by the ancients to drink and write poems, which originated from the custom of "grooming".
The earliest Liubei Pavilion was built in the Xindu of the Great Xia Empire, with stone canals and flowing water, feasting and having fun. Today, "Qushui Liuzhen" has become a special form of banquet and entertainment, it is quite common before the "Spring and Autumn Period", and many places have built Liubei Pavilion, the most famous of which is the Lanting Pavilion in the bamboo forest of Lanzhu in Jiangdu County, Yangzhou. Hanguo University calligrapher Wang Yishao and Hanguo Xiangguo Xie Dongshan and other forty-one people in the Lanting drinking poems, and the poems into a collection, by Wang Yishao as a preface, this is the famous book sticker "Lanting Post", "Lanting Post" for later generations to be regarded as the first post of the book of the ancients and the future. Lanting is also famous all over the world because of this.
Chu Liuzhen scooped up a glass of wine from the water, drank it all, and said with a smile, "Is City Lord Su going against me for chanting poetry?"
Su Jingyan rarely restrained his flattering smile, lowered his voice and said, "Fat man, I don't have this Yaxing, and with my literary talent, I won't be embarrassed in front of Brother Chu." ”
Chu Liuzhen smiled, but he clearly knew that the fat man in front of him was the champion and the first, and he was afraid that there were few people who could compare with him. And when it comes to being an official, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Snow Night Dynasty can be like Su Fatzi in front of him, although Su Fatman is greedy for money, but it is also smooth sailing in the officialdom, and he became a fourth-grade official of the dynasty in less than a year, and it is rumored that the emperor deliberately left the position of Liangzhou's assassin history to him, and only waited for the current Liangzhou assassin to retire, and he will directly ascend to the throne.
Although Su Jingyan has always lowered his posture in front of Chu Liuzhen, Chu Liuzhen never dared to underestimate Su Fatzi.
Su Jingyan waved his hand, drove out the attendant in charge of pouring wine in the Liubei Pavilion, and stood up and poured a glass of wine into the water stream himself.
"Today, I am the ...... who talks about the world with Brother Chu"
A trace of shock passed through Chu Liuzhen's eyes, but he immediately returned to his original state, stretched out his hand and motioned for Fat Su to continue.
"Speaking of the first meeting between the two of us, maybe Brother Chu has forgotten, right?" Su Jingyan smiled at Chu Liuzhen and sat down cross-legged. "Actually, the first meeting between the two of us was deliberately arranged by my fat man. Those murderers are also fat people......"
Chu Liuzhen's eyes flashed, and the long sword in his hand almost broke out of the sheath, "City Lord Su's words made me confused. ”
Three years ago, during Chu Liuzhen's travels down the mountain, he met someone on the road who killed people and oversold goods, and Chu Liuzhen, who was already chivalrous, killed those robbers without saying a word. Afterwards, Chu Liuzhen knew that he was saving a city lord, and he had always been reluctant to approach the official Chu Liuzhen, but that time he actually had a meal with the fat man, and the intersection of the two began.
Chu Liuzhen thought that if he wanted to return to the country in the future, or go to Xuzhou, he would also cultivate some strength in the dynasty, so he slowly pretended to be close to Su Fatzi.
Now it seems that it is not that he is playing with others, but that others have already had intentions.
"It seems that the fat man is using me, I don't know what the city lord of Su is doing to trick me like this?"
Su Jingyan smiled, but it was no longer flattering, but with a victorious attitude, "Chu is dead, Western Chu is dead, aren't you still alive? If I'm not mistaken, you should be called Chu Liuzhen, right?"
Chu Liuzhen grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
"Oh, by the way, there should be another name, right?" Su Jingyan looked at Chu Liuzhen who was about to draw his sword with a smile, and stretched his waist for a long time, "What if you are an apprentice of the Sword God? Unless the Sword God is here in person, no one can kill me in my mansion......"
If you are confident, this kind of person is best if you are a friend, and if you are an enemy, it is a terrible thing.
"Who the hell are you?" Chu Liuzhen said in a deep voice, he didn't believe that an official from the fourth rank could know his identity, which even Qin Feng, the first surname of the dynasty, didn't know.
Su Fat Jingyan blinked, "I'm Su Fat, I said that today I was going to talk about the world with Brother Chu." Don't worry, if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be alive at all. ”
Chu Liuochre traveled down the mountain twice a year is the idea of the sword god Li Taibai, that is, he is afraid that Chu Liuochre will have no experience in going down the mountain in the future, and in the past few years, Chu Liuochre has gone down the mountain more than ten times, and he has a slight experience of temples and rivers and lakes.
If he continues to be tense like this, it doesn't make much sense, in Chu Liuzhen's perception, there are at least four people hidden in the dark around this Flowing Water Pavilion, and there is a dark momentum that has been firmly locked on him, I am afraid that before his sword is unsheathed, that dark momentum will be able to dismantle himself.
Chu Liuzhen was not arrogant enough to think that his cultivation had reached the realm of a master.
"I know this, but it doesn't mean anything, because I'm just like you, you're from Da'an City, and I'm from Yize City......"
Chu Liuzhen suddenly realized that Yize City was the capital of Huayue before the "Spring and Autumn" war, and this Su Jingyan claimed to be from Yize City, so ......
"You are the Great Prince of Western Chu, and I am the Little Prince of Huayue. Su Jingyan's eyes were dark, "Unlike you, we Huayue are young and not long, so I, like you, the Snow Night Dynasty has deprived us of the ...... we should have."
Regardless of whether what Su Fatzi said was true or false, at least at this moment, Chu Liuzhen saw something in Su Fatzi that appeared on his body, hate.
Chu Liuzhen withdrew his right hand, picked up a glass of wine, and faced Su Fatzi, "Then, let's start......"
Two young people are in this cup pavilion, and they talk about the world.
