Chapter 38, the Song Dynasty where officials were afraid of bandits
From ancient times to the present, Huaxia has been the world of appearance associations. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info you don't see being an official, do you have to look good?
In ancient China, the emperor's physiognomy was extremely praised, and the so-called "imperial phase" was long and the dragon face was long, which refers to the nose plump, the quasi-head is straight, and the nose bridge is straight, which is the "dragon phase". According to Wu Han's "Biography of Zhu Yuanzhang", Zhu Yuanzhang's "chin grows more than an inch above the palate, high cheekbones, but with a big nose and big ears, just like a three-dimensional mountain character swinging horizontally, a strange bone bulge on the head cover, like a small hill." Such a rare and strange face is definitely owned by very many people, so the superstitious concept that the "little monk" Zhu Yuanzhang is natural and destined to be the emperor.
The Tang Dynasty explicitly used physiognomy as a criterion for selecting officials.
Although the Song Dynasty did not use physiognomy as a criterion for selecting officials, as the Tang Dynasty did. However, in the early period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the general Wang Deyong was born in the army, good at soothing the soldiers, with outstanding military achievements, and his prestige in the army was very high, and he was called the prime minister at that time. So, on the way of the "Black King Xianggong", "with its strange appearance, everyone gathered in the room", and everyone was vying to see the style of the "Black King Xianggong". At that time, there was a "think tank" of the imperial court, Su Yifu, who quietly wrote a report to Song Renzong, saying that Wang De used his physiognomy to "house pillow Qiangang, and his appearance was similar to that of Yizu (Song Taizu)" -- which means that Wang De's physiognomy was not an ordinary person, not the physiognomy of being a minister, but the physiognomy of being an emperor, and I am afraid that he will usurp power and seize the world in the future. Later, in the imperial history, Cheng Kong Daofu talked about Wang Deyong's "emperor", and although Song Renzong was a little sorry for his talents, he still relieved Wang Deyong of his military power and let him serve as a magistrate. Wang Deyong was very knowledgeable, so he was a man with his tail between his legs, low-key everywhere, and later, he became the prime minister again. Wang Deyong got "disaster" because of his unusual appearance, but fortunately, he was good at "solving disasters", and finally turned evil into good fortune.
It can be seen that the appearance association was also great in the Song Dynasty. In this day and age, ugliness is sin. If it comes out again to be "scary", it is even more evil, such as that Wang De.
Just like Gu Fan, if it weren't for his handsomeness, I'm afraid that his narcissistic words would not disgust people to death, and he would also be beaten to death.
And as long as you are handsome, all this is no problem. If you look good, add 10 points first.
"Childe, this is a place where Taihu Lake bandits haunt, so let's go ashore as soon as possible. The young lady reminded.
This is likewise a good benefit for the long term.
Gu Fan is good-looking, so Miss is in danger for the first time, so she is worried about Gu Fan's little fresh meat.
In ancient times, a woman who was beautiful would lose her body, and so would a man. What Longyang, what is the little minister...... The ancients didn't play too crazy.
Gu Fan didn't expect the stubble, but he was really hungry, so he directly shook the oars of the small passenger boat and sailed to the shore.
When they reached the shore, the three of them went ashore. The master and servant thanked them again, and told Gu Fan to be careful of the Taihu Lake bandits.
Although this era is no longer the era of Shuibo Liangshan, the power of Taihu Lake bandits has increased instead of decreasing.
"I'm scared now, it's too late! But I've thanked the two girls. Gu Fan accepted their kindness.
"Porphyry-" Listening to what Gu Fan said was interesting, the master and servant laughed again.
What's so funny?
Gu Fan had already noticed the snickering behavior of them constantly peeking at their faces along the way. But......
"It's not strange! It's so beautiful! Alas, if it's so beautiful, how can I get it? Which sister will be worthy of it in the future!"
Thinking of this, he paused and asked again: "The two girls are abrupt, I don't know how the two girls were targeted by the water bandits?"
In fact, in Gu Fan's gossip heart, he wanted to say even more, little girl, you are so amazing, isn't it uncomfortable to come to Taihu Lake to blow the cold wind in the cold winter?
Of course, he is very knowledgeable and has no mouth for this, although he has no practical experience in the affairs of men and women, but he also faintly feels that once he says this, it is estimated that the two chicks who are delicate and timid in the hands of the water bandits are like frightened rabbits. It is estimated that he is going to make a fortune, even if he looks beautiful, it is useless.
“......”
Sure enough, the two little girls blushed slightly and bowed their heads silently. Obviously, this topic speaks to the awkwardness of their hearts.
Yahuan looked at his young lady, and when he saw that the young lady was silent, he also lowered his head.
"Then I don't know where the two little ladies are, Xiaosheng will send the little ladies back?"
They were silent for half an hour, and Gu Fan was not depressed, and said in his heart: Oh, it's okay to feed the two little girls, it feels really uncomfortable on the edge of Taihu Lake on this cold day. I'm still hungry!
"We live in Linjia Village. ”
The young lady obviously knew that it was not a good choice to continue such waves by Taihu Lake, so she hurriedly spoke.
"Oh? You are also surnamed Lin?" asked Gu Fan.
"Yes! Our young lady's surname is Lin. The fast-talking girl said.
"Yun'er. Unfortunately, the young lady interrupted her and did not say any more.
In this way, Gu Fan did not ask. There were many rules in the big family in ancient times, and it was still very prodigal for you to ask the name of a young lady.
Sending the Buddha to the west, it has not yet been sent to Linjia Village, only to the entrance of the village, and I saw many women surrounding me.
"Miss, where have you been? We're really in a hurry!"
Later, the people of Linjia Village were grateful to Gu Fan, especially when they heard that the young lady was caught by the Taihu Lake bandits, and it was Gu Fan who rescued people, and the look of gratitude to Dade almost knelt down and kowtowed.
This also made Gu Fan's plan to buy land and settle in Linjia Village go very smoothly. The original ancestral land cannot be used with foreign surnames, so it is no longer said.
This also made Gu Fan interested in the master and servant.
After Gu Fan finished lunch, the news came, and it turned out that the young lady was Lin Zhaoying, the eldest lady of the Lin family.
"Hmph! After learning a little bit of the kung fu of the three-legged cat, I went to learn how to be chivalrous and righteous.
Taihu Lake bandits are not so easy to offend. Once it is found out that he did it, the whole village will suffer, and the so-called people will not fight with the officials. This is the reason why officials do not fight with bandits.
People are outlaws who pin their heads to their trouser belts, and his Suzhou Lin family is a scholarly family with property and industry. ”
Listening to the guard's complaints, Gu Fan squinted at him and said, "Why do I think you're talking about me?"
"No, no, where do the little ones dare to complain about real people. It's just that although we are not afraid of this Taihu Lake bandit, it is better not to easily provoke this gang of outlaws. ”
He's clearly talking about himself.
"You think the same way?" Gu Fan looked at the others.
They are listless, that is, they acquiesce.
After looking at them, Gu Fan had to say a "rotten".
What are Taihu Lake bandits?
A group of forbidden soldiers are afraid of thieves?
It's as ridiculous as the 21st century Central-South Africa/Coast bodyguards being bluffed by a bunch of bastards.
