Relatively speaking, the people of the Han Empire were much better at eating than during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't have to follow the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, the princes, the princes, and the concubines, as long as you have money, you can eat whatever you want;

And, as long as you have the money, you can eat as many as you want.

Except, of course, ploughing beef......

This kind of loose food etiquette is rooted in Liu Bang, the Gaozu Emperor at the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, in essence, he is a hooligan and gangster with a lot of status, and the most disgusting thing is all kinds of etiquette that binds people.

Especially when it comes to eating, what do you want people to eat and when do you want people to eat, and everyone must follow it? Who gave them the usual faults? The common people are going to eat hungry, where can they take care of the blind comparison of you scholars?

Oh, Lao Tzu is on top!

As a result, the technique of Daomen Huang Lao, which advocated the rule of inaction and the natural Taoism, was naturally the most in line with the mind of the Emperor Gaozu, and soon became the cultural mainstream of the Han Empire.

After experiencing the Wenjing and Jingjing dynasties, the country's warehouses were full, and some people's stomachs were full, and all kinds of rules returned.

Well, when it comes to Liu Che's generation of emperors, the influence of Gaozu Emperor Liu Bang is actually minimal, and it is not like what is written in the history books.

In today's Han Empire, the most common sentence pattern is 'the emperor said', 'Your Majesty thinks', and 'I feel'......

……

In the late spring in Guanzhong, the rain is very abundant, and it is a rain at every turn.

The smoke and rain are misty, and the willows are still there.

On the east bank of Weishui, because of the rain for two consecutive days, the craftsmen and servants all hid in the warm quilts and slept soundly, and the construction site of Tai Academy was quiet.

On a circle chair near the window in an attic, Dong Zhongshu looked tired, his eyes were a little bloodshot, but he was still bright, and he looked a little overenergy.

Yang Chuan, who was sitting opposite the old thief, had a calm face, drinking tartary buckwheat tea leisurely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yang Chuan, the old man explained to you the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and he has said so much, and he doesn't know how to pour me a bowl of tea?" Dong Zhongshu suddenly muttered a little dissatisfied.

"You don't have any hands?" Yang Chuan scolded with an angry smile: "In terms of official position, I am now a Taixue sacrificial wine, and you Dong Zhongshu have to bow down and give salutes when you see it." ”

Dong Zhongshu sighed: "The etiquette is broken, and the people's hearts are not ancient." ”

Yang Chuan also sighed: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants." ”

"Dong Zhongshu, when you say that the etiquette collapses, you mean that your Confucian etiquette collapses, and you can no longer enjoy the demotion of the Son of Heaven, the courtesy of the emperor, and the people kneeling down to worship those things, right?"

"If you want me to say, your kind of etiquette is really a special mother's diaphragm......"

Dong Zhongshu was furious, and he slammed the table and was about to stand up, but at a glance at Yang Chuan's smiling expression, the old thief endured it.

There is no way, this little thief is now Taixue sacrificial wine, and he is his own boss, and he has the money, food, personnel, and rules of Taixue in his hands, but he can't provoke too ruthlessly.

"What, this is your Confucian rule?"

Yang Chuan chuckled, poured a bowl of tea for the old thief and pushed it over, and continued: "You keep saying that you want to establish rules, be reasonable, abide by the etiquette law, and divide the noble and the low, then let me ask you, make these things clear, what will the world be like?" ”

Dong Zhongshu groaned a few times and said, "Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, elders and youngers. ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's it, if I reason with a stubborn old man, I might as well go out and play the piano to the cow, maybe I can increase the production of milk;

I only ask you now, if I marry a folk girl as my wife, and at the same time marry a Han princess, from the court laws to your Confucian etiquette, what kind of trouble will I incur......"

Dong Zhongshu sighed and said very sincerely: "Yang Chuan, the old man advises you, don't do this, Liu Che...... Our emperor is not so big-minded, even if there are no regulations in the Han Dynasty in terms of laws and etiquette, but if you marry a folk girl as a wife first, and then marry a princess as a concubine, he will inevitably hold a grudge and sooner or later you will not be able to eat and eat around. ”

Yang Chuan laughed: "That's right, Dong Zhongshu, these few words of your bad old man are like what a great Confucian said." ”

Dong Zhongshu smiled bitterly: "You, Yang Chuan, have never taken me Dong Zhongshu in your eyes." ”

Yang Chuan gradually restrained his smile, and said: "It's not that I have never put you in my eyes, but I think that in fact, you Dong Zhongshu can do better; It's just that your mind is too vicious and you don't leave a trace of survival for others, and sooner or later you will be counterattacked.

Dong Zhongshu, listen to my advice, be open-minded, don't think about fighting with this person and fighting with that person all day long, do you say you are tired? ”

Dong Zhongshu simply shut up.

He knew very well in his heart that the young man in front of him, smiling all day long, looked very harmless to humans and animals......

"Okay, three days later, your chief master of ceremonies will come over to eat," Yang Chuan stood up, stretched his waist, and said lazily: "Remember to clean the mud and wood debris on your body, look at your current appearance, let others see it, and say that I, the Taixue Sacrifice Wine, is incompetent and bullied you, a great scholar." ”

Dong Zhongshu also stood up and muttered and scolded: "Even if the emperor worships heaven and earth, he needs to burn incense and bathe before he can ask me Dong Zhongshu to be the master of ceremonies, you Yang Chuan's attitude...... Ahem, it's okay. ”

Yang Chuan laughed and walked out the door: "You have done this thing, go back and build a big pool in front of your scripture pavilion, sprinkle some fish fry, and plant some lotus flowers." ”

"In addition, you can also build a few corridors, pavilions, and pavilions, so that your disciples and grandchildren have a good place to read in the morning."

Dong Zhongshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed up and sneered: "The pool must be repaired bigger, it's best to get an island in the middle of the lake or something, in the spring and autumn rains, the old man can also invite you to come over to taste tea and play the piano......"

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said without looking back: "Look at your old thief's performance." ”

Dong Zhongshu grinned and said, "Isn't it the coronation gift of Cheng Ding, wrapped in the old man......"

……

The master of ceremonies' matter was successfully resolved, and Yang Chuan was in a good mood.

This is what ordinary ministers of the Han Empire felt? It doesn't seem to be interesting, so it's just a bully for a big reader like Dong Zhongshu.

Along a forest path paved with cobblestones, Yang Chuan walked and pondered, and unconsciously came to the edge of Weishui.

From afar, I saw a tall and thin man, holding a sheepskin umbrella, looking at the Weishui rolling east, but it was Zhang Tang.

"His aunt, what's the matter?" After approaching, Yang Chuan asked with a smile.

"There are two things," Zhang Tang turned his head, and there was basically no expression on the face of the knife, "The first thing, the big Changmen said that the emperor was very happy; The second thing, the big Nagato said that the emperor was angry. ”

Yang Chuan smiled and didn't say anything.

What made the emperor happy was naturally the weaver girl's 'papermaking technique', and what made the emperor angry was naturally that he Yang Chuan also got acquainted with the folk girl Weaver Niang in addition to Liu Man.

This is all in the question, and there is no surprise.

Zhang Tang looked at Yang Chuan's handsome little face, and said coldly: "Yang Chuan, why don't you and the emperor both take a half step back?" ”

Yang Chuan sighed and scolded: "Zhang Tang, you are really a pig's brain, let the emperor back down half a step?" You can still figure it out. ”

"In this world, there has never been any half-step, one-step statement, if there is, it is also some trivial things between the people, when it comes to the big things of life and death, whoever retreats is stupid...... Well, it's stupid anyway. ”

Zhang Tang said: "This is what Dachangmen meant, he asked me to ask you, do you want to marry Liu Man first?" Then, he'll take care of the rest of the hassle for you. ”

Yang Chuan shook his head directly: "You will all be wrong about what I mean." ”

How can I say that?

He groaned a few times, and then said: "Zhang Tang, you tell Dachangmen, I, Yang Chuan, am determined not to marry before I am eighteen years old, who told the emperor that I want to marry a people's daughter first and then a princess?"

I have already clearly told Zhiniang and Liu Manman, before the age of eighteen, no one should think about it, Lao Tzu is irritable when he looks at them, one by one his studies are poor, and his thoughts are still anchored, she is simply a bad girl.

Tell me, do I marry them to be wives, or to be students and daughters? ”

Zhang Tang was stunned for a while, and couldn't help asking, "You won't marry for the time being?" ”

Yang Chuan laughed angrily: "Who said I was going to get married?" I just held a wedding ceremony, and I didn't say that I was going to hold a wedding banquet and wine, what do you all want! ”

Zhang Tang was robbed of a meal, but his face was obviously relaxed, and said: "It's Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, he ran to Chang'an City, and he saw a lot of people and said a lot of things;

Among them, the most talked about is that your kid wants to marry a people's girl first, and then marry a Han princess, which is clearly throwing mud on the emperor's face, and it is simply not human......"

Yang Chuan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold: "Cao Xiang, this bastard, actually ruined me!" ”

Zhang Tang asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Yang Chuan said angrily: "It can only be mixed cold, what else can I do!" ”

Cao Xiang, a bastard, has always listened to him Yang Chuan's words, why did he suddenly change his temper this time and forget the 'low-key' that had been discussed in advance?

It's very strange.

"Zhang Tang, what about Cao Xiangren? In Chang'an City or back? Yang Chuan asked suddenly.

"I came back more than an hour ago," Zhang Tang said a little angrily, "and besides, he came back with that bullshit Dongfang Shuo!" ”

Yang Chuan listened and smiled: "Dongfang Shuo is back, and your good days will come to an end." ”

Zhang Tang stalked his neck and remained silent.

Dongfang Shuo's guy has a very powerful mouth, and the angle of scolding is generally very tricky, and he is really a difficult opponent......

As soon as he heard that Dongfang Shuo was back, Yang Chuan's heart was inexplicably settled a little, it seems that Cao Xiang's 'nonsense' in Chang'an City is actually what Dongfang Shuo means?

That guy's mouth has been opened, and he is also a rare kind person in the Han Empire, since he has him to give Cao Xiang guidance, what to say and what not to say, there should be no big difference.

Thinking like this, Yang Chuan and Zhang Tang returned to Zhuangzi.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, he saw Dongfang Shuo, who looked like a thin monkey, hurriedly greeted him, laughing in his mouth, and said, "Yang Chuan's son Dongfang Shuo wants to kill you", but under his hand was a move of a white ape picking peaches, and he directly overshadowed Zhang Tang.

Zhang Tang snorted, bowed back and retreated half a step, scolding: "Dongfang Shuo, why did you sneak attack a certain house?" ”

Dongfang Shuo said with a smile: "Look at you, I haven't seen each other for a year, can't I make a joke with you and try your martial arts to see if you have improved?" ”

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Tang's forehead, and he rubbed his crotch a few times with both hands, slowly straightened his waist, and his expression became indifferent.

But it turned out to be Zhang Anshi who came over.

"Teacher, Her Royal Highness Princess Nangong, please come over," Zhang Anshi first bowed to Yang Chuan, and then gave gifts to his father Zhang Tang and Dongfang Shuo respectively: "Anshi has seen his father and Mr. Dongfang Shuo." ”

Dongfang Shuo returned the salute and said with a smile: "Tsk, Zhang Tang, your son is a big Han unicorn, it is unspeakably expensive, just tell me, such a good son, how did you Zhang Tang give birth?" ”

Zhang Tang didn't say anything with a dark face.

Yang Chuan had already led Zhang Anshi to the attic where Princess Nangong lived, and as he walked, he asked casually: "What is Her Royal Highness looking for me?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess sent a letter, saying that after the emperor heard about our family's affairs, he was overjoyed and angry, and while preparing the reward, he was thinking about discounting your ...... Leg. ”

Yang Chuan smiled bitterly.

The emperors and princesses of the Han Empire are simply too domineering, how can they break people's doglegs at every turn, it is simply unreasonable.

"Teacher, in fact, you don't have to deal with the emperor," Zhang Anshi looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "My aunt asked me to give a word to the teacher, she said, the so-called wife and concubine are just a name;

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the so-called division of concubines, when inheriting the title and distributing family wealth, the concubines take a little more advantage, which is not interesting.

My aunt said that she cares about you as a person, and she has no interest in those false things. ”

Yang Chuan stopped, frowned and asked, "Zhang Anshi, are these words really said by your aunt?" ”

Zhang Anshi nodded, and there was no change on his handsome little face.

Yang Chuan was finally laughed at angrily, and easily hit the forehead with a critical blow, and scolded: "You kid can do it now, even your teacher and your aunt's master dare to do it?" ”

Zhang Anshi asked with a blank face: "Teacher, what do you mean?" ”

Yang Chuan smiled: "It's not interesting, your father sent you here just to learn from my cheekiness and lying when his face did not change, and now it seems that you have obtained my true inheritance." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled very shyly: "Thank you, teacher, for your compliment." ”

"But teacher, more than ninety percent of the words I said before were really what my aunt said, she said, don't be embarrassed, pushing the boat down the river is the best way to do things."

"My aunt also said that she actually likes to ...... half-push and half-push"

The more Yang Chuan listened, the more outrageous it became, and he couldn't help but raise his leg with a kick, and directly kicked Zhang Anshi's cowardice out of seven or eight steps, and scolded: "Get out!" ”

Zhang Anshi got up from the ground, slapped the dirt on his body, and rolled ......
