Chapter 409: Woe Water, Acting Skills, and Ruler

It doesn't hurt much, and it's extremely insulting.

Yang Chuan's understatement made more than 200 big dogs in Longxi County almost blow up their livers and lungs, and they looked at their backs one by one, and they seemed to be able to kill.

However, when the guards opened the wooden box, revealing the golden coins and white mutton fat jade carvings inside, they were dumbfounded.

In contrast, the things they gave out are now piled up next to the Mazhazi where Yang Chuan used to sit, and they are as ugly as they are, and they can't be compared.

Moreover, is this Yang Chuan's pocket money for two months?

Simply that!

This is clearly bullying, right?

The rich people of the Han Empire would play very much, like what bronze, gold, jade carvings, glaze, pottery, until the later 'Yang's porcelain', are the favorite objects of the big dogs, and every big dog family with a little 'taste' and identity will more or less collect some.

Of course, these so-called 'Ah Block', in Yang Chuan's words, are just some things outside the body.

The real playthings that make people lose their minds actually include little women, scholars, and boyfriends.

And so on, and so on.

All in all.

Everyone is very good at playing, but these big dogs in Longxi County, including those deep-rooted elders and parents of the Li family, are much inferior in front of Yang Chuan.

After all, people's backgrounds and titles are there......

……

At the banquet that night, Yang Chuan and Dong Zhongshu talked and laughed, astronomy and geography, gossip about the five elements, customs and customs in various places, and bad things in the court, which was called familiar and comfortable.

Dong Zhongshu's face was full of red light, he talked eloquently, ate meat, drank wine, and sighed a few words from time to time, saying that it would be good if he could eat in Changning Hou's house all year round.

The shamelessness of the scholar can be regarded as fully demonstrated in Dong Zhongshu, which not only made Yang Chuan laugh, but also made the big Longxi dogs sitting at the same table shake their heads and smile bitterly.

wants to give Yang Chuan a gift and win over and corrupt this young Changning Hou.

Unexpectedly, the dozens of boxes of gold coins and mutton fat jade carvings sent back by the people, even if they were calculated with their toes, were several times more precious than the ones they sent.

wants Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar, to suppress him in terms of learning.

It seems that there is no certainty, listening to the dialogue between Yang Chuan and Dong Zhongshu, for a while, astronomy, geography, gossip of the five elements, and for a while, it is agriculture, mulberry crops, hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxyfluorine, neon, you old gentlemen can't keep up with the rhythm of the two of them at all......

In short, this meal was very uncomfortable and aggrieved.

This fair-eyed Changning Hou is simply a demon, the first time they met, it made these old Li family people feel at a loss, and they really couldn't think of how to deal with it.

Yang Chuan sat in the center, taking in everyone's expressions, and sneered in his heart.

The old Li family has been running Longxi County for hundreds of years, and there are more scholars, more famous generals, more good families, and more than half of the fertile land, people, mines, swamps and mountains and forests, which are just appearances.

Their biggest hole cards aren't actually these.

but the Qiang and Di people.

Even, there is the shadow of the Huns.

The famous families of the Han Empire have a common characteristic, that is, behind every big dog family, there is one or a bunch of enemies that even the imperial court will be afraid of, for example, behind the Li family in Longxi, there are Qiang, Di, and Xiongnu; Behind the Yuan clan in Hebei are the Xiongnu and Donghu; Behind the Qilu Gongsun clan are Dongyue, Xianbei, and North Korea......

That's pretty much it.

In Yang Chuan's words, it is nothing more than raising self-respect.

The Han Empire was founded for nearly a hundred years, and it was prosperous on the surface, regardless of whether it was governing or martial arts, it seemed to be very awesome, especially in the years when Liu Che became the emperor, the whole world was suppressed and obedient, and the appearance of a peaceful and prosperous world, even the old thieves in the court would have some kind of illusion, thinking that the emperor's words were holy decrees, the court decrees were iron laws, and the so-called three princes and nine kings were a character.

In fact, it's all appearances.

The emperor's order does not go out of Chang'an City, and the imperial court decree does not go out of Sanfu, this is the truth of the Han Empire.

If you think about the war of the Three Kingdoms one or two hundred years later, you can know that the emperor of the Han Empire is, to a large extent, just a 'co-lord of the world', and the unified Han Empire is still a plate of scattered sand at the moment.

In other words, the situation of warlords separating and fighting each other has begun to emerge.

This pot can only be carried by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.

The old boy came from a humble background, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, and was left in the future for two thousand years, and he suddenly won the world, became the emperor, slapped his head, deposed the county system of the tyrannical Qin, restarted the feudal system, and made a large number of his sons all kings, laying the root of the chaos in the world later.

That bad old man, very bad.

Therefore, Yang Chuan, who had no good impression of imperial power, did not have a good impression of Emperor Gaozu who 'hid the bow of the bird and cooked the dead rabbit and the dog'.

Even, there are some inexplicable angers.

You must know that although the Great Qin Empire was brutal, the first emperor of the people relied on his own strength to suppress the princes, nobles, and big dogs in the world, and ruled the world with the method of the county system, which can be regarded as a great unification in the true sense.

As for the 'cultural unification' that Liu Che wants to complete, it is a matter of another level, and Yang Chuan thinks that its contribution is no less than the 'physical unification' of the first emperor.

Of course, if possible, the content of Liu Che's 'great unification' would be better if it was not to depose the Confucianism of the hundred schools......

……

"Marquis Changning, little old man is bold, please ask Marquis Changning to think about it again, and give me a chance to exchange land for a knighthood."

Just when Yang Chuan was a little distracted, an old man stood up, bowed down in a proper manner, and said with a respectful expression: "I think of my Longxi Li family, guarding the northwest gate of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, in order to resist the Qiang Xiongnu, how many good sons and daughters went forward one after another, and died on the battlefield, resulting in the thin people of Longxi County, the people's livelihood withered, and many places are called counties, but in fact, it is better to say that it is a scorched wasteland." ”

"Marquis Changning, for the sake of those sons and daughters who died on the battlefield, don't push it off yet!"

Well, this is the beginning of moral kidnapping.

Yang Chuan casually glanced at Dong Zhongshu, and then turned his head to look at the old man: "Ben Hou also wants to fight for more titles for our Longxi County, but what's the matter, above the court, some people obstruct in every way, and the title of this marquis of the Han Dynasty was almost taken away because ......of this."

He sighed, picked up a bowl of wine, and drank it all.

"Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want, the sky is long, who is this!"

Yang Chuan lifted the wine jar, poured himself a large bowl of wine, took it up and groaned a few times, as if he wanted to say a few words that were heartfelt, but he didn't say it after all, just tilted his neck and drank it all again.

After that, he put on a stunned expression and hung his head silently.

This scene made the mood of the people present a little bad.

Let's see, in order to make this eighteen-year-old Han Liehou look like for the sake of Longxi County......

The bad old men sighed for a while, all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, sighed, and cast very apologetic glances at Yang Chuan, which were full of apology, shame and distress, like a group of pure-minded elders, looking at their juniors with concern.

Even Yang Chuan was almost moved.

Look, the uncle is still your uncle, just this acting skills, how many little fresh meat and little Kunkun can be killed in seconds!

Yang Chuan sighed again, poured himself a drink, and glanced at Dong Zhongshu inadvertently from the corner of his eye.

The old thief understood, and also poured himself a bowl of wine, drank it all, and said in a deep voice: "Changning Hou, it's really difficult for you." ”

"But Changning Hou."

The old thief changed his words, and said indifferently: "As far as the old man knows, above the court, this time you will be stumbled by the Marquis of Changning, and those who will not give the people of Longxi County will be knighted, mainly the prime minister Gongsun Hong and the imperial historian Erkuan, they themselves have eaten fat, and the lackeys under the door are like clouds, but they want to block other people's roads, I'm afraid this is a little uninteresting, right?" ”

"Marquis Changning, otherwise, the Taishou Mansion will give another piece of music to the court, and implore the court to be kind, and give the people of Longxi County a knight, and the old man will also repair a book to the emperor, see if he can ask for a share of heaven's grace?"

Dong Zhongshu's left sentence of 'imperial court' and the right sentence of 'emperor' are very high-sounding, but in fact, he quietly leads the disaster to Gongsun Hong, Er Kuan and others, which is really the means of great scholars.

Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and agreed in a deep voice: "The recital has already been written, but Ben Hou is worried that he will attract others to put his beak again, so he has been hesitating for the past few days."

Since Dong Gong is willing to help, it would be the best.

However, if this time you ask for your life, and Ben Hou is reprimanded by the emperor again, and one is accidentally robbed of his title and loses his office, you Dong Zhongshu can have to help one or two, it really can't work, Ben Hou's family will move into your house, eat and drink for a lifetime! ”

In the lobby, there was a burst of laughter.

"The righteousness of the Marquis of Changning, the people of Longxi County are unforgettable!"

"Changning Hou is really wonderful."

"Yes, yes, it is worthy of being the youngest prince of our Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Changning speaks so well......"

In a round of colorful rainbow farts, Yang Chuan's face gradually relaxed, and the sullenness in his heart seemed to dissipate a lot, and the whole person seemed to be tall and mighty.

"Marquis Changning, on behalf of the people of Longxi County, Xiao Lao'er respects you a bowl!"

"Marquis Changning, if there is any difficulty in the future, just open your mouth, as long as it is in Longxi County, which dog's day does not open your eyes to make you angry, the old man will discount his dog's legs!"

"Changning Hou, I will retire first, I have time to turn back, please take a walk and see more, we have nothing else in Longxi County, but there are still a few ...... in this good mountain and water."

After some politeness, the two or three hundred messy old men finally said goodbye and went out, and their faces were naturally full of smiles, and their words and deeds were even more polite, more like a reader than a reader.

"Ah, finally sent away."

Sending those people away, Yang Chuan took a long breath, looked at Dong Zhongshu, who was still eating and drinking, and scolded with a smile: "Dong Zhongshu, these people came to Taishou Mansion to make trouble, is it your idea?" ”

Dong Zhongshu laughed: "The old man just taught them a few words, so that they don't come empty-handed, don't you Changning Hou often say that not all the things in this world are fighting and killing, more, is it still this person's sophistication?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You don't know anything about Benhou's real knowledge, and you can remember some gossip on weekdays!" ”

Dong Zhongshu shook his head and said: "Changning Hou's sentence is to the point, this world's knowledge seems to have its own merits, some deep and some shallow, the classics of the past dynasties are thin and thick, but in the eyes of the old man, they are just some dead knowledge, not interesting, very boring."

However, Marquis Changning, do you know what is the reason why Confucius became a saint?

Relying on his gossip.

Why?

Because, Confucius has long known that in this world, there is no perfect thing, and naturally there is no perfect person.

Therefore, Confucius naturally didn't bother to write books and talk about those useless things, just using some so-called gossip to educate the world......"

Once Dong Zhongshu starts to speak, he often talks and talks endlessly.

At the same time, because of being a teacher for a long time, he can not only tell a lot of truth about some simple things, but also be able to explain in simple terms and follow the path, which is very similar to the teachers of later generations.

And then the eggs.

For Yang Chuan, this kind of gushing words, as long as he wants to say, it is estimated that he can speak for three days and three nights without repetition.

If you have a mouth, you just have a mouth.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally spoke: "Dong Zhongshu, there are no outsiders present now, can you stop pretending?" ”

Dong Zhongshu's old face stiffened, and then he laughed, stretched out a finger, pointed at Yang Chuan's nose and scolded: "The old man finally had a full meal, and drank seven or eight bowls of spirits, can't he just talk about some reasoning and have a good time?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head: "You have said these truths many times, here in Benhou, at least seven or eight times, are you annoyed?" ”

Dong Zhongshu laughed dryly twice and muttered: "Actually, I only talked about it three or four times......"

Yang Chuan looked at Dong Zhongshu and asked with a meaningful smile: "Dong Zhongshu, Ben Hou also has some very unique opinions and opinions about Confucius, do you want to listen?" ”

Dong Zhongshu arched his hand: "The old man listens attentively, Changning Hou is a scholar and a man, and he will definitely be able to tell some new ideas." ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You Dong Zhongshu praise a person for being good at learning, and there is often a subtext, that is, you speak very well, don't talk about it in the future." ”

"Ben Hou is not your Confucian disciple, but he still has respect for Confucius and Mengfuzi, and he has no blasphemy.

Dong Zhongshu saw Yang Chuan say this, but his expression became solemn, bowed, and said, "Please Changning Hou to solve your doubts." ”

Yang Chuan thought for a while and only said: "Actually, the reason why Confucius is Confucius is because he is a ruler. ”

Dong Zhongshu raised his head in amazement and stared at Yang Chuan's eyes: "What's the explanation?" ”

Yang Chuan said: "What you said is very right, that is, there is no gold and no one is perfect, in contrast, Confucius has done a better job than each of us, self-denial and self-discipline, so he is a ruler." ”

"This ruler is not used for measurement, but a bottom line."

"The bottom line of morality about people."

"In other words, it is the standard and bottom line of what a person calls a person."

Dong Zhongshu lowered his head, pondered for a long time, gradually raised his head, and knelt down and arched his hand: "Chaowen said, you can die at night." ”
