Five hundred and fifty to give civilization a legacy
One night, some of the people in Luoyang City died down, and some ignited their fighting spirit, and at this critical moment when the situation in the world has not completely calmed down, a new storm is actually brewing again.
And Liu Bei, who was in the center of the storm, felt a little heartless, and after discussing things with Jia Xu and Xun You, he lay down and fell asleep, sleeping from night to dawn, sleeping very comfortably, getting up refreshed in the morning, and then being hungry.
Yesterday's banquet drank a lot of wine and ate less food, too late to eat a few mouthfuls of food, toasts lined up one after another, the stomach was full of wine, and he didn't eat anything at all, and when he woke up, Liu Bei felt that he was hungry and could eat a cow.
Fortunately, there were not many people who drank too much last night, and there were also a lot of people who drank and vomited, and the fireheads were very prescient, and in the morning they made some staple foods and hard dishes that filled their stomachs in addition to the decanting soup.
Liu Bei then got half a pot of soup cakes, and half a pot of boiled mutton, and ate mutton while eating soup cakes, and ate it with a mouth full of oil.
After eating the food, Liu Bei patted his stomach, nodded contentedly, and then began to arrange the matter of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony in the afternoon.
Although Yuan Shao has a relatively large momentum, Yuan Shu is the concubine of the Yuan family, with a higher status and stronger symbolism, so the court is more concerned about Yuan Shu's capture.
After Yuan Shu was caught, he was tied up by Wuhuanda, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth, and the way he came to Luoyang was to sit in the prisoner car and pull it.
In order to punish him, Liu Bei also arranged for the soldiers to eat meat around him when they ate it, so that he could smell the aroma of meat and see the meat, but he just couldn't eat it.
This is really a cruel torture for Yuan Shu, who has been clothed and fed since childhood, and only Liu Bei can think of this cruel torture.
It is said that when Yuan Shu was asked to drink water halfway, the guard took off the cloth that stuffed his mouth, and Yuan Shu looked at the meat and sighed.
"The sky has no eyes!! Will Yuan Highway also fall to this point? ”
While sighing, he swallowed his saliva and stared at the roast lamb with his eyes.
Of course, until the end he did not eat a bite of mutton, because he was a prisoner, he did not deserve it, he could only watch the soldiers who escorted him eat, and he could not eat anything.
Yuan Shu was tortured enough that by the time the prisoner sacrifice ceremony arrived, the whole person was already numb.
Under the watchful eyes of the ministers, Yuan Shu was sentenced to the punishment of car splitting, and more than 300 Yuan clansmen were sentenced to all be beheaded, and none of them were forgiven.
Until the last moment of their lives, the people of the Yuan clan were still crying and begging for mercy, hoping that the Son of Heaven would spare their lives.
And Yuan Shu didn't beg for mercy at first, but his face was numb, and it wasn't until the ropes were tied to his neck and limbs that Yuan Shu seemed to feel frightened, and begged loudly for mercy while struggling, hoping that the Son of Heaven would spare his life.
In fact, it's quite undignified, the tone is so high, and the king of the sect has killed two, so it's strange that they can survive.
No one objected to the execution of Yuan Shu, even if the guy who had drunk and danced with Yuan Shu before would not say even a good word for Yuan Shu, they all looked forward to his death, wanted to see the famous scene of his limbs spurting blood, and then remembered it for a lifetime.
Liu Bei was not interested in this, when Yuan Shu was wailing and screaming, he closed his eyes, and waited for the sound of broken limbs to come, he opened his eyes, looked at the bloody scene on the scene, and shook his head slightly.
No matter how arrogant a person is, after becoming a prisoner, he is very miserable, and the higher his status before, the more miserable his death will be, which seems to be the fate of people who have been in high positions for thousands of years.
It doesn't matter how long the family lasts, it's the same.
In the whole history, it seems that only the old Confucian family can last for a long time and avoid being liquidated, and the other families will not care how long they last, and in the end, it will inevitably appear a generation of unscrupulous descendants, and then the whole family will fall.
In the end, the private plan of the portal is a handful of loess, three hundred years, four hundred years, five hundred years of arrogance, and in the end, it is still a handful of loess.
Of course, people have enjoyed it for several generations, and it's worth it, even if they die, it can be regarded as a posterity paying for their ancestors, and it's not a big deal.
There is only one Confucian family, there is no other branch, and no other family should be delusional to be able to copy the legend of the Confucian family, and the old Confucian family also has the ability!
People are full of survival skills, soft figures, Schrödinger's temperament, can kneel in the face of anyone, kneel smoothly, no matter who you are, no matter what kind of race you come from, there is no old Confucian family who dare not kneel.
The old Confucian family has been changing for thousands of years, and it depends on a [if you dare to win, I dare to kneel], in all fairness, is this easy?
That's why Liu Bei felt bored, very boring, because he felt that no matter how shameless a person was, it would be difficult to reach the point of the old Kong family.
There are always people who like to tie the family and civilization together, thinking that inheriting the family is inheriting the civilization, but the civilization that needs to be passed on by a family inheritance is so narrow.
It would be nice to be able to pass on the civilization, as for the family, it doesn't matter.
However, it is very difficult to pass on civilization, history is the history of civilization, and it is also the history of war, war can destroy all civilizations, so if you want to preserve civilization in countless wars, what you need is no less than the survival technology of the old Confucian family.
After Yuan Shu's five limbs were separated, Liu Bei was thinking about what to do to better pass on the civilization when dealing with daily affairs.
Judging from his limited memory, although the era in which he lived also inherited many civilizations, in the process of inheritance, there were still very, very many carriers of civilization that disappeared in the war.
For example, the Luoyang Fire that should have occurred at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty destroyed too many civilization carriers, such as the "Dongguan Hanji" written by Cai Yong and others that Liu Bei had read, and most of the chapters were scattered.
Liu Bei was not happy about this matter, he didn't like these imprints of civilization to be destroyed by barbaric wars, so he wanted to preserve all these things and pass them on to future generations, so that future generations could learn more about what had happened.
Chasing forward, as well as Confucius's deletion of books, as well as Qin Shi Huang's book burning, have destroyed many traces of civilization, and the past is difficult to trace, so at least start from the present, so that everything that can be preserved is preserved.
He avoided the Great Fire of Luoyang and saved the ancient city, but he could guarantee that he would keep these things while he was alive, but he could not guarantee that they would not be destroyed by some barbarians after he died.
So after thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a solution.
He remembered that during the Xiping period, in order to try to quell the objections of the ancient texts, Liu Hong once instructed Cai Yong and others to carve the Five Classics and family law on the stone tablet and make it public.
Later, although it failed to settle the controversy between modern and ancient texts and the disputes within the modern literary school and the ancient literary school, the Xiping stone tablet has survived to modern times with its excellent materials, and there are still some parts.
Liu Bei felt that if he used his power to requisition a large number of stonemasons, spend some manpower and material resources to carve some important official solitary books into stone tablets, and then do some processing and bury them deep underground, perhaps in the changing thousands of years of history, these precious solitary books that cannot exist in the future generations will be preserved, leaving a mark of civilization for future generations.
In this way, when future generations discover this wealth of civilization, they will be very happy.
He felt that it would make a lot of sense.
Just do it, when others were busy with intrigues and scheming, Liu Bei issued an order from the General's Mansion to recruit skilled stonemasons in Luoyang, give them relatively favorable treatment, and sign a long-term employment contract.
Then, Liu Bei personally went to Dongguan and found the person in charge of the royal book collection, explaining his intention, saying that he wanted to carve all the royal books on the stone tablet, so he needed to borrow these solitary books from time to time.
The officials of Dongguan were very puzzled by Liu Bei's behavior, but they would not embarrass Liu Bei in this kind of matter.
There are no books in Dahan that Liu Bei can't borrow or read, even if he doesn't return them, it doesn't matter.
Throughout October, Liu Bei was tossing these things in addition to rearming the army.
He built a courtyard outside the city for the stonemasons to live in, collected high-quality stones for them everywhere, asked them to carve lone books on the stone tablets, and from time to time personally inspected their work.
Then it is necessary to choose a suitable place to bury these stone tablets, and preserve all the imprints of these civilizations for future generations to discover.
As the general of the dynasty, Liu Bei's words and deeds are in the eyes of countless people, and every word and deed will be infinitely amplified and various interpretations will be made, but for this matter, no one knows what Liu Bei's purpose is.
Find a group of stonemasons to carve books on stone tablets, what do you mean?
Is it to re-engage in the matter of the Xiping Stone Sutra?
Something to do with the controversy between ancient and modern texts?
At first, some people were nervous and asked Liu Bei everywhere about the purpose of doing this, but soon they learned that Liu Bei did not deliberately target certain books, but all the books that could be obtained, he had to have people carve them, and even some idle books were carved correctly.
Is there any need to carve those miscellaneous books?
This is very puzzling for some.
