The white rabbit pounds medicine in autumn and spring, who is Chang'e's neighbor in solitude?

Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients.

If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together.

I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle.

Strictly speaking, the Moon Festival is not the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the Zhou Dynasty, the ancient imperial ritual system had the customs of the spring equinox sacrifice day, the summer solstice sacrifice to the ground, the autumn equinox sacrifice to the moon, and the winter solstice sacrifice to the sky. "The Book of Rites and Sacrifices" also records: "The sacrifice of the sun is on the altar, and the moon is sacrificed on the kan, so as not to be quiet and bright, and to control the upper and lower."

Waiting for the pre-Qin period, it was recorded in "Guanzi Light and Heavy Self": "The autumn solstice is ripe, the Son of Heaven is enshrined in Daxing, and the west is one hundred and thirty-eight miles out of his country and the altar, the clothes are white and white, the jade is carried and the tin is carried out, the wind is blown, and the sound of gold and stone is chiseled." The princes of the court, the princes, the doctors, followed the people, and called the sacrifice month. ”

In other words, the moon festival is first made in the autumn harvest time, when the Son of Heaven sacrifices to the moon and prays for the blessing of the moon god and a good harvest in the coming year. The time of the sacrifice is generally chosen on the autumn equinox, and later the calendar is integrated, and August 15 is set as the autumn equinox, also known as mid-autumn, and the order of the seasons is taken from the uncle. It's just that the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time is not the real Mid-Autumn Festival, until the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the era of writers everywhere, the literati began to sing the moon, and the common people began to appreciate the moon, and slowly formed the custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon and drink the feast, and there were also myths and legends such as Wu Gang cutting the laurel tree and the jade rabbit pounding medicine, and the Mid-Autumn Festival began to become one of the four major festivals in China.

At this time, it was the Western Han Dynasty, and everyone still had the moon festival, and only Situ Changshi Duwu's mansion in the whole Chang'an City would have moon cakes and various delicacies, which was also an important reason why Kuang Xian and Lin Lan brought their families here.

There was laughter and laughter in the pavilion, and Zisu was telling Lin Lan's little daughter the story of Chang'e's ascension, and the little girl listened very seriously, which made Zisu enjoy it very much. Speaking of emotion, he sighed a few times, as if he was crying out for Chang'e, who stole the elixir. Pipa had already pestered Du Wu several times, and when he saw that Zisu finished speaking, he hurriedly interjected: "Do you know? There is also a toad in the Moon Palace, it is said that the Queen Mother of the West turned her into a toad in order to punish Chang'e for stealing the elixir......"

"You lie, Chang'e is so good-looking, how can it be a toad, it must be your nonsense." The moon cake in Zi Su Yang's hand wanted to play the pipa, and thought that she was his own master, so he put it down stupidly.

"I'm not talking nonsense, it was Mr. who said it, Mr. also said, and said that it is in the book compiled by King Huainan." Pipa said conclusively, and when she saw that Lin Niangzi and Mrs. Kuang were looking at her, she lowered her head: "The concubine is not lying, it is really what Mr. said." ”

In front of the stone table in the outer courtyard, Du Er took a piece of undercooked pork and fed the rhubarb. At this time, the pigs are all Chinese native pigs, with long hair, hard mouths, and black complexion, which are not much different from wild boars. Although the craft of ploughing pig has been skilled, it is not very tasty, even if Du Wu has taught the method of braised pork, but this pork is still not as delicious as the white pork of later generations. Du Er fed rhubarb with such a piece of half-rotten pork, rhubarb is almost ten years old, his teeth are not very good, and he has recently begun to be anorexic, which makes Du Er very worried.

Du Wu likes to drink, but there is not much wine stored at home, so tonight's banquet is full of good wine that Du Er brought from Qingfeng Building. After Du Er gave Wang Buliu a jar of cypress leaf wine to each of the four people, the wine table was the protagonist of the mash singing. The degree of mash is too low, a few people drink it like drinking water, plus the shortage of food in the Han Dynasty, there are even fewer people who use it to make wine, Wang Buliu and a few people rarely drink so much wine, this time there is a chance, so they all let go of drinking, and after a while, the jar at the foot is piled up on a small hill.

It was late at night, and Du Wu arranged for Du Er to live in Kuang Xian and Lin Lan's family in Qingfeng Building, and Zi Su naturally occupied Du Wu's room and entered the inner courtyard hand in hand with Pipa. Galangal hurriedly bid farewell to Du Wu and returned home with a box of wine and food that the pipa had prepared for him a long time ago. The four of them were still struggling in the courtyard, which was still taught to them by Du Er.

Watching Galangal's figure disappear into the night, Kuang Xian smiled and said, "Brother's apprentice, you've been in the limelight lately, and you've overshadowed your master." ”

Du Wu smiled, but Wang Shu didn't know why: "The disciple has been keeping filial piety for Eminem recently, I don't know what Taichang means by saying this?" ”

"Don't say it, don't say it." After saying that, he sat down like a master in the world, shouting that he had not drunk enough of the moro, and that he had not drunk enough.

Lin Lan asked Du Wu: "Why didn't Mr. say a word at the court meeting today?" The war in the West Sea has been going on for half a year, and the loss of the treasury is already huge, so you won't have no good strategy, sir, right? ”

Du Wu shook his head: "My name is General Zhenbei, and my actual official position is Situ Changshi, Kong Situ didn't speak, how can I talk about a small long history?" ”

Lin Lan said: "Sir's words are wrong. I am facing inward, if I talk about charging into battle, Mr. is naturally not a master. But when it comes to marching and arranging and planning and deployment, if Mr. wants to say second, who dares to call it first? Didn't Mr. see that Zai Heng has been looking at you, just waiting for your high opinion. ”

How could Du Wu not know. At the court meeting, Wang Shun and Kuang Xian quarreled, and the people of their two factions were also fighting with each other, stirring up a great court meeting like a vegetable market. It's not that Du Wu doesn't want to say it, but he can't say it. Dou is the grandnephew of Dou Yifang, the queen of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, since Emperor Wen, the Dou family has become famous, Dou gave birth to Princess Liu Concubine and Emperor Liu Qi of Han Jing, in addition to a son who is a king and three marquis nephews, which can be described as a prominent family. When his grandson Liu Che ascended the throne and became Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the glory of the Dou family also reached its peak, Liu Che made all his thirteen brothers kings, and there is a scene of thirteen kings, and Dou Guo is the grandson of Dou Guangguo, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dou. Pointing fingers at such relatives and descendants, Du Wu asked himself if he had not lived to the end.

"Lin Sinong don't pretend to be stupid, Brother Du also has a hard time. It's not that you don't know who the Dou situation is, and besides, the court is basically controlled by the Wang family, even for the head of the Nine Qings, and it is difficult for you, why are you embarrassed by Brother Du, who is only a thousand stones? Seeing that Du Wu was silent, Kuang Xian spoke out to excuse him.

"Well, don't I know? It's just that the old man, as a big farmer, is in charge of the granary of the world, and now the war in the West Sea has been delayed for a long time, and the treasury has been in deficit. Lin Lan sighed and said dissatisfiedly, "Mr. went to Situ's Mansion to visit before nightfall, is Kong Situ still in good health?" ”

Du Wu shook his head: "It doesn't look very optimistic. Da Situ once resigned twice and returned to his hometown, but was stopped by Zai Heng. I only talked to me a few words tonight, and didn't say much. ”

Kuang Xian nodded: "Even for my brother, I haven't seen Bao Chengjun for a long time, he hasn't been to the court for more than a month, Zai Heng wants to use Bao Chengjun's prestige to the extreme." Since the ceremony, Zai Heng's prestige can be said to be in full swing among Confucianism, and the contribution of Cheng Cheng Jun is not trivial, it is estimated that the old Situ can also see it, and now he wants to resign from the official position and say goodbye to the old man, which is also the reason. ”

When the king saw that the people were talking about his father, he wanted to argue a few words, but after thinking about it, he wisely kept silent. He understood that what the big guys present said was true, although he had been keeping filial piety for the past two years, he still knew some news in the palace.

When Du Wu saw that the king was silent, he reassured: "Zhongsun doesn't have to be like this, the so-called people have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." Now everyone can see that Ling Zun is already planning to risk the world's condemnation and steal the country's new, this matter is the trend of the times, and you and I can stop it. ”

"Master, the disciple only hates not having such a father."

Du Wu patted Wang Shu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No, it's hard to know the blessings and misfortunes of this matter." The Han Dynasty has continued to this day and has experienced twelve emperors. Zai Heng can now take advantage of the trend, which can only show that this is the wish of the subjects of the world. Politics has never been something that the people can afford to play, and if you look at the Confucian scholars who have been frantically building momentum for your father in recent years, you know that this is the trend of the times. ”

"Among them is Mr. Gaotu Galangal!" Lin Lan said indignantly.

"Yes, I used to think that this kid was curious, but I didn't expect that in a few years, he has become a guest of Zai Heng, and this speed is even Du Mou is ashamed of himself, haha."

Chen Xun laughed twice, and seeing that everyone was not laughing, he hurriedly closed his mouth.

Kuang Xian made another bowl of mash, wiped his beard casually with his hand, and was a little uneasy: "It's a pity that when the first emperor was orphaned, he didn't give his brother enough military power." A general of Zhenbei who was only prepared during the war, if he doesn't fight, he is idle, and he is a military position of 2,000 stones, I don't think the virtuous brother has received a military salary in General Wei's mansion. ”

Du Wu nodded, he was also very depressed about this. Before Emperor Ping died, he just wanted to give himself a military position to settle down, but he didn't want to be put on the day he took office, and he was asked to go to Zhijinwu to hand over the errand first. The general of Zhenbei is 2,000 stones, and the leader of the northern army is 2,000 stones, which is two levels higher than him. At that time, it was Dou Qian, the captain of the Qiang who was now leading the army to the west to conquer the Qiang, and when he saw Du Wu Zhiyin coming, his face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water. After inspecting the official seal, he rejected Du Wu's request to enter the camp on the grounds that the two belonged to different systems. At that time, Wang Mang was busy with the sacrifice ceremony and Limingtang to buy people's hearts, so how could he have time to take care of these trivial matters. It was still the old Situ Kongguang who went to make peace, and only then did he arrange a tolerance for Du Wu to inspect the city defense, and it was not until half a year ago that Dou Guo went to Xihai County that the Northern Army officially accepted Du Wu. However, the soldiers of the Northern Army did not buy Du Wu's account, after Dou Guo went out to fight, the Zhongli Order took over part of the power of Zhi Jinwu, and Wang Mang was only invisible, so the current Northern Army was nominally controlled by the Zhenbei General Du Wu, in fact, Du Wu could only restrain a few hundred people, and now the Wei General's Mansion has been refusing to pay for Du Wu on the grounds that the Zhenbei General is not set in wartime, and the poor Du Wu can only rely on the seven or eight hundred stone of food in Situ Changshi's year, so the family has not invited a few servants, Cai Bo alone took care of both the housekeeper and the confessor.

Lin Lan saw that Du Wu was a little lost, and comforted: "Mr. is talented, he will definitely not live here for a long time." Today has been decided, will be transferred to Xihai County to transfer another 2,000 people to escort 100,000 stone grain and grass, in my opinion, Mr. why not take this opportunity to Zai Heng to escort grain and grass, one to avoid the recent turmoil in the court, and the other to get some meager credit, sit on the position of the general of Zhenbei. ”

Du Wu pondered for a while and looked at Kuang Xian: "What do you think too often?" ”

Kuang Xian nodded: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Shen Sheng died inside, and his heavy ears were safe outside, Lin Sinong's words were reasonable. The virtuous brother can also see that there have been more and more voices in the government and the opposition asking for the order of Zai Heng to be true recently, and even more, in order to win the favor of Zai Heng, he did not hesitate to forge a diagram, and a person as upright as the virtuous brother is indeed not suitable to stay in the court for a long time. If, as Lin Sinong said, lead a team of men and horses to escort grain and grass to support the Dou situation, it is best to get a little war, then sit back and relax. ”

"Hey, it's too often said that it's impossible to sit back and relax, at least you can have a little merit in the chaos, and it's good not to be attacked for no reason. I can see it, although Mr. is talented, he is bent on avoiding the court, you know, you are already a high-ranking official than Qianshi, how can you avoid it? Lin Lan stretched his waist and continued: "Now above the court, Kong Situ plans to resign and go into hiding, Da Sikong is concurrently held by Zai Heng's cousin Wang Shun, although Da Sima Zhen Han is Kong Situ's son-in-law, but he has long been Zai Heng's person, except for Taichang and me, the rest of Jiuqing are only Zai Heng's horses, and the day when Zai Heng is true is not far away." So, sir should prepare early. ”

Kuang Heng sneered: "Who is with you?" The old man sees that you are also a stinky foot that holds Zai Heng, haha! ”

Lin Lan feigned anger, picked up the wine lord and made a gesture to smash Kuang Xian, Chen Xun didn't know why, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, Lin Lan was angry: "Sir, if you go to the West Sea, this Chen Xun is the best meat shield!" ”

Everyone laughed, Chen Xun blinked and looked at Wang Shu, Wang Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head: Guan Neihou I is famous, how could he give birth to such a stupid son.
