Chapter 1386 Subject and guest
At the Taiyuan Liting, although there were various sounds of soldiers and horses, the scene was a little quiet before the Liting. Something called embarrassment seemed to grow in this silence and spread continuously.
Fei Qian looked at Wang Ling with a faint smile.
Wang Ling lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Fei Qian, feeling a little regretful in his heart, and glanced at Sima Fang out of the corner of his eye, but saw Sima Fang stroking his gray hair as if nothing to do with him. Xu, suddenly felt a little annoyed.
This idea came from Sima Fang.
Sima Fang said that Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, traded with the Hu people, and had close contacts with the Baishi Qiang and the Southern Xiongnu, so he certainly would not have any aversion to the things of the Hu people. In addition, in Bingzhou area of ??Shanxi, Han people and Hu people live together , there are also some Hu people''s customs and habits, so this method can be used to find out the preferences of General Zhengxi, and secondly, to know whether General Zhengxi''s **** is biased towards Shandong. Still leaning towards Shanxi...
After all, the Shandong gentry opposed the customs of the Hu people regardless of their disregard. They did not sit at the table, did not eat the meat, and had a lot of complicated customs and etiquette, which was slightly different from the family habits of Shangdang in Taiyuan.
Here in Shangdang, Taiyuan, the only surviving gentry, such as the Wang family, Wen family, Linghu family, and even some of the gentry in Hedong, are actually due to the influence of the Qiang, Xianbei, and Huns over the years. Focus on military equipment, after all, no matter how good the Confucianism is, if you encounter some military affairs or something, you will be like a claw, and you may not be able to escape your life.
It’s like riding and shooting in Hufu, changing customs and customs may be a big deal for the Shandong gentry, but the Shanxi gentry pays more attention to pragmatism.
In addition, Wang Ling has now vaguely accepted some of the political legacy of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Although he did not dare to give General Zhengxi any difficult problems such as disarming him in action, Wang Ling did not know the reason for such a small temptation at the time. Perhaps on impulse, he agreed to Sima Fang''s suggestion.
Fei Qian looked around for a week.
A group of people headed by Wang Ling lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at them.
"The elders in Taiyuan show love, so I naturally obey!" Fei Qian laughed loudly, "We are all a family now, and there is no need for such complicated etiquette, wouldn''t it be a loss of intimacy? Come here, bring wine, and I will toast you first cup! "
Fei Qian didn''t even enter the pavilion, let alone sit in it.
Huang Xu took a step forward, took out a wine cup from the kit beside him and handed it to Fei Qian, then took the wine bag from another guard, unplugged it, and poured a glass.
"No. 1 noble, respect heaven and earth!" Fei Qian raised the wine in one stroke, then poured out a little more on the ground, and finally drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Wang Ling and the others hurriedly took over the wine ranks from the attendants on the side, followed Fei Qian, doing obeisance, sacrifice, spit, and death ranks together, and said in unison: "The world is safe!" Then they all drank.
"Second Lord, respect for the great man!"
"Guotai Minkang!" Worship, sacrifice, spit, death, second cup.
"Third Lord, respect your father and fellow countrymen!"
"Harmony and Chuanfang!" The third cup.
In the Book of Rites, it is stated that a gentleman''s wine is no more than three rounds, so normally it is only three cups, and it is a kind of disrespect to exceed it. Of course, there is also the saying of Wuliangjue, that is, there is no limit to the number of cups, you can drink as many cups as you want, until you can’t move, but that is usually agreed before the banquet, and most of them belong to the type of family banquet, or It''s some festive festival and so on.
Therefore, after Feiqian Sanjue, he put the Jiujue into Huang Xu''s hand, and said with a smile: "It''s a lot of inconvenience in the army. Today, I deeply appreciate the kindness of the elders, so I will go one step ahead and go to Taiyuan City. Get drunk with everyone!"
Wang Ling and others had nothing to say, and Lian Sheng responded.
Fei Qian laughed, then took Huang Xu''s horse''s reins, and got on the horse. Everyone thought that Fei Qian was about to flatter the horse and go, but unexpectedly Fei Qian pointed his hand into the pavilion and said, "It''s quite strange to see this stool. Exquisite, I don''t know Yanyun, can I give it to someone?"
"Huh? If the general likes it, his subordinates will be very happy..." Wang Ling naturally had everything he could do.
Fei Qian nodded with a smile, and his own guard entered the pavilion, and took away the bearded stool that was not only carved with patterns, but also covered with brocade, which was quite beautiful.
"Farewell!"
Fei dived on the horse''s back and clasped his hands together again, then walked away flattering the horse.
Everyone hurriedly bowed to see them off. Of course they couldn''t go together, after all, this is the Ershili Pavilion, and there is Cui Jun waiting on the other side of the Shili Pavilion, they just came out to greet Taiyuan on behalf of the elders.
Wang Ling straightened up, and was about to stare at Sima Fang, who was next to him for his idea, when he suddenly heard Sima Fang stroking his palm and said with a smile, "Wonderful! General Zhengxi really has a clever mind, I''m not as good as it! If there is no vain man! Wonderful!"
Wang Ling was taken aback for a moment, then rolled his eyes, and suddenly he also said with a wry smile: "Mr. Jiang''s strategy can be regarded as harming my little brother..."
"No, no!" Sima Fang smiled as he walked towards his family''s chariot and horses, and said in a low voice, "If Zhengxi doesn''t take the brocade stool, it will be really troublesome...but now, my virtuous brother Why worry about..."
Wang Ling paused, and after thinking about it, Fang felt lighter...
Zhengxi''s army continued to move forward, and Chen Gong, who was in the queue, followed him for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and sighed: "It''s a good way to turn against the guest! Zhengxi...um..."
Chen Gong glanced left and right subconsciously, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Lü Bu moved his ears, slowed down his horse, came closer, and said, "What''s the matter with turning against customers?"
Chen Gong explained in a low voice: "There are seats and stools in the pavilion. It is nothing more than asking Zhengxi how to choose... I never thought that Zhengxi would be outside the pavilion. Drinks are nothing more than to explain to these people...you can be self-sufficient without other things...it''s amazing, it''s amazing..."
Chen Gong sighed, but Lu Bu understood some of them, and still couldn''t understand some of them. "Tell me more details..."
"..." Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu helplessly, and then continued, "Drinking wine with you...only Zhengxi has such confidence... Pingyang has a lot of money and food, so naturally you can be strong without desire..."
Lu Bu glared, and said: "Don''t make jokes in Gongtai. When the army arrives, how can we not collect food and grass?"
Chen Gong pointed to the back slightly with his finger, and said: "...It is really possible that there is no need for additional collection... It is reported that Taiyuan has not been owned for many years, and it must have not paid the land tax in full. If the west is collected in the name of urging taxes, who can... But even if it should be so, there will be people who will be dissatisfied at that time, and Wen Hou will act accordingly..."
Lu Bu suddenly realized, looked at Chen Gong, hesitated, twisted his stiff neck, and did not speak.
Chen Gong didn''t care about it either, and continued: "It''s a stroke of genius to ask for the brocade stool from Zhengxi... It shows that the brocade stool can be accepted, but it doesn''t show it in the open... It''s like beating and beating, but it doesn''t make Wang Ling and Wang Yanyun lose sight of it." Losing face...wonderful...this is the strategy of turning against customers, did Wen Hou understand it?"
Chen Gong originally wanted to use such words to point out Lu Bu, but seeing that Lu Bu was a little distracted, it was not easy to continue to speak clearly in front of the public, so he could only take a breath, and then waited for an opportunity to speak to Lu Bu again.
Walking on the horseback, Chen Gong frowned, as if an idea had popped up, but he didn''t know where it turned in the blink of an eye...
………………
Xuchang. ,
It was originally named Xu County, but after the Han Emperor Liu Xie came, it was renamed Xuchang, which meant prosperity.
"Duke Ming," Man Chong approached Cao Cao''s canopy cart and whispered, "Your Majesty summoned General Zuo again..."
"..." Cao Cao frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I know."
Man Chong bowed his hands and withdrew.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand, and knocked on the canopy cart with a "duk tuk". Xia Houen, who was driving in front of him, understood, so he raised his horsewhip and twitched it. The strong ox began to move forward, pulling the canopy cart slowly. And go.
Making cattle with a horsewhip?
There is nothing wrong with that.
Yanzhou first experienced a plague, and then suffered a plague of locusts. At the same time, it also suffered a huge turmoil. Whether it was because of the border concessions or the destruction of production, it was impossible for Cao Cao to continue in Puyang with confidence. After staying, he chose Yingchuan people instead, and set the government in Xu County.
Although the Yingchuan people represented by the Xun family welcomed Cao Cao and the emperor with their hands and feet, the problem is that there is no emperor''s palace in Xu County, let alone a huge royal palace complex, which means Liu When Xie came here, everything started from scratch, well, it should start from the foundation.
A large number of civil engineering projects have digested the refugees from various places caused by the war, and also made Cao Cao''s regime quickly stabilized after this turmoil. As long as ordinary people have a bite to eat, they don''t have too much thought. As for the energy consumed, isn''t it every day?
When it’s used up, it will come back naturally when I get up the next day…
Of course, if you exclude those who can''t get up.
Large-scale farming, large-scale construction of civil engineering palaces, the benefits are obvious, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. Money is like water, constantly flowing into the sand, leaving only some faint dampness.
In exchange, Cao Cao tacitly allowed a large number of Yingchuan people to serve as local governors, such as Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, Fanqin, etc. These were originally Yingchuan people, and they also provided Cao Cao with generous material returns.
However, it is still difficult to make ends meet, and even the canopy cart that Cao Cao himself rides on a daily basis has been replaced by an ox-drawn cart.
Under such circumstances, Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao, well, strictly speaking, he defected to the imperial court...
Cao Cao was overjoyed when Liu Bei came to vote. Although he didn''t say it was a two-hundred-mile welcome, it was almost the same. Cao Ren, as Cao Cao''s representative, went to meet him in person and escorted him all the way to Xuchang. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei arrived in Xuchang not long ago. Whether it was Liu Xie who hooked up with Liu Bei, or whether Liu Bei hooked up with Liu Xie, the two got better.
No, Liu Xie summoned Liu Bei every three days, and the two of them were chattering together, which made Cao Cao feel a little bit unavoidable.
Liu Xiaozheng is mine!
I don''t know if Cao Cao was thinking about such a thing when he got off the car, which caused his robe to be hooked to the railing of the car. If Xia Houen hadn''t been quick to lift up his sleeves for Cao Cao, maybe Cao Cao would have been on the spot Make a fool of yourself.
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houen and thought the young man was good, so he nodded, walked into the mansion, and said, "Go and invite Wen Ruo to come..."
………………
"Should the heavens be in harmony with the times, and be ordered by me. I often hear that the heaven and the earth are permanent, the universe is orderly, benevolent, trustworthy and courageous, and then one is a gentleman. There is a saying in the poem, ''Prospect the frontiers personally, and use the extremes of things. Nine changes are repeated, and you know what you say Selection''. Now there is a backup of King Jing of Zhongshan, who has both ability and political integrity, and has the courage to do things. Therefore, he is specially appointed as the shepherd of Yuzhou. Sui Township. I hereby announce it both at home and abroad, so that the salty envoys can hear about it."
After reading out the imperial edict, Xiao Huang''s gatekeeper quickly changed into a smiling face, "Liu Shijun, please accept the edict!"
"Minister! Take the edict to thank you!" Liu Bei bowed his head and took the imperial edict from Xiao Huangmen''s hand, and then glanced at Jian Yong who was beside him.
It is not necessary to kowtow to see the emperor, but it is necessary to receive the imperial edict. Because the first sentence of the imperial decree states that this imperial decree was not issued by the emperor, but conveyed by the emperor following the orders of heaven and earth and experiencing the spirit of heaven and earth, so this kowtow cannot be avoided...
Jian Yong understood, smiled and stepped forward to hold Xiao Huangmen''s hand, and then moved slightly in his sleeve.
Xiao Huangmen''s smile became even brighter, and then he said a few words of congratulations before leaving...
Liu Bei smiled, sent the little yellow gate out, and then arched his hands, watching the vehicle representing the emperor gradually disappear in the distance, still not changing the appearance of standing respectfully...
"Great! Great!" Zhang Fei held back for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Huangmen and his party finally left, he almost danced with joy, like a black bear that just dug a nest of honey, waving its palms Just turn around in the small courtyard.
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his long beard. Although his face had not changed much, there was still a trace of joy in his brows and eyes.
Liu Bei was named Yuzhou Shepherd!
Although this position is theoretically at the same level as the previous Xuzhou Mu, one was conferred by the emperor himself. On the other hand, Yuzhou is much larger than Xuzhou in terms of economy and population. It is also the head of the same place, but the chiefs of the remote and impoverished mountainous areas and the prosperous economic areas are naturally different.
The most important thing is that the words "Queen of the King of Zhongshan County" appeared in the imperial decree, which means that Liu Bei has continuously declared that he is a descendant of the royal family over the years, and it was finally recognized by the Han Dynasty. From then on, Liu Bei can Proudly and grandly claiming that he is the clan of the Han Dynasty, so that he will not be ridiculed by others...
However, completely different from the jubilant atmosphere in the courtyard, Liu Bei standing at the gate of the courtyard, although he still had a smile on his face, the smile was disappearing little by little...
