Chapter 1927 Mixed, should consider the original intention


    Fei Qian returned to the back hall and sat down.


    The emergence and development of a habit must go through a stage of contempt, confrontation, lying down, and finally really fragrant, such as the simplest, sitting.


    In Feiqian’s current back hall, there are a few bearded stools, and you can use a slightly soothing sitting posture to relax your legs, and this kind of sitting posture is not allowed in the current mainstream, and is even considered impolite and informal .


    The way of sitting on a chair in later generations with the legs perpendicular to the ground is actually not native to China, but imported from outside, so it is also called "hu sitting".


    At the beginning of China, this kind of sitting posture was rejected. Only in the army, because of the conditions, there were Hu stools. Generally, the children of the gentry families were not allowed to sit like this, so the so-called stools and chairs sold in the Han Dynasty should wash and sleep first. . Fei Qian had a military rank on his head from the beginning, so he put some wooden stools at home, and no one murmured when he sat around on weekdays, whether someone had impeached or made admonishment a long time ago, he had to be solemn, to be polite, to have this or that. up.


    It wasn''t until after the Wuhu chaos that Hu people entered the court in large numbers, and then brought this sitting posture to the upper class, and then it began to spread among the people in the Tang Dynasty, but formal occasions still use upright sitting. Until the Song Dynasty, it was allowed to "sitting around" in daily formal occasions, but it was still used to sit upright during large-scale ceremonies such as sacrifices.


    After the Yuan Dynasty, there was basically no upright sitting.


    Fei Qian didn’t understand it very well at first. After all, from later generations, the sitting posture with vertical calves is obviously more in line with the human body and can provide better rest and comfort. But why didn’t people in the Han Dynasty like it?


    Later, slowly, I understood.


    Because it seems to be a small sitting posture, but in fact it involves more things than Fiqian originally imagined.


    Chinese etiquette has been regulated since the earliest days, and in this weekly ceremony, there are corresponding etiquettes for the standard of sitting posture, whether the buttocks are lowered or tightened, whether they are attached to the ankles or raised at a speed of 5 centimeters per second, so the sitting posture has been changed , then it is equivalent to social etiquette to change all this.


    At the same time, the windows in the Han Dynasty were very low, and it was the same until the Tang Dynasty, so this style is also common in later generations of Dongying. With the change of sitting posture, the height of the body is raised by the chair, and the original windows are very low. It''s awkward, and it must be changed.


    And there is a very subtle change, that is, the consumption of wood by humans has increased a lot invisibly! In ancient times, when China had no awareness of water and soil protection, the birth of chairs also led to high-end table cases, and after the seats were fixed, there was more space for more furniture, and these furniture, in For a long time in ancient times, it was all wood, and then it was cut down all the way, and even the Guanzhong loess high slope, which was originally densely populated like silk, was directly cut down into a bald head.


    So, some people will think that it is just a chair?


    The change from the procuratorial examination to the imperial examination also seems to be just a chair gap, but in fact there are many people and things involved...


    Fei Qian pondered for a while, then picked up the ink stick on the table, and began to grind it. At the same time, he was also thinking.


    『A certain person has inherited the emperor’s favor and won Xijing.


    『There is a saying in the book that there is no bias and no party, the king''s way is swaying, no party and no party, the king''s way is flat. When you are in office, you should seek excellence and be respectful. If you are addicted to the old ways, stick to the old ruts, regard the court as your back, and do not follow the law, then where is the constitution, what is the family and the country! Unforgivable sin! 』


    The last stroke was written, and the evil spirit was faintly revealed in the words.


    Pausing for a while, Fei Qian put down his pen, just as Pang Tong turned around from the corridor, and entered the back hall to report: "Report to my lord, all the young people in the city have been arrested..."


    Feiqian nodded, and pointed to the Hu stool beside him.


    Pang Tong also sat down, and then hammered his fat legs. Having said that, Pang Tong has a greater need for the comfort of the stool. After all, if the stool is small, it is easy to put eggs on it, isn''t it? But even so, Pang Tong still only sat on the stool at Fei Qian''s side, and he didn''t have any at home.


    "how? Fei Qian asked, "Have you found anything?" 』


    Pang Tong clasped his hands and said, "We are being interrogated separately... But at present, it seems that the three assistants did not participate... But the interrogation has not been completed yet, and there may be omissions..."


    Fei Qian and Pang Tong thought that these guys were going to jump up and start a wave of troubles, but now it seems that this is not the case, of course, it is based on the current situation.


    Fei Qian nodded slightly. In this way, even if there are people involved, there may be fewer people than originally expected. There must be some people who will be involved in this incident. After all, there must be instigation and instigation, and how these instigation and instigation people come from, and whether they have any contacts with these noble families in Guanzhong, naturally need to be investigated top priority.


    Fei Qian deliberately left all the gentry surnames in Chang''an in the front lobby, in order to prevent these Guanzhong surnames from erasing traces at this juncture and doing something corresponding. Of course, if you dare not even this meeting Come here, whether it''s an excuse for illness or trouble, whether it''s really stupid or pretending to be crazy, there must be something wrong!


    But at present, it seems that these guys are either really not deeply involved, or they are still gambling.


    Which one is it? Fei Qian doesn''t want to draw a conclusion right now.


    Sometimes, Fei Qian feels that he seems to be on the same path as Cao Cao. Except for those who are closely related to him, the people around him seem to have some problems...


    That''s why Boss Cao is always staring at other people''s wives, wanting to sleep and serve other people''s wives to have more children and grow the family to control Chao Gang? This was relatively established in the Han Dynasty. After all, giving birth in the Han Dynasty was a high-risk thing, and these other people''s wives and wives at least had rich practical experience, and their survivability was better than that kind of little girl.


    But it is obvious that Cao Pi single-handedly erased the fruits of his father''s hard work for more than ten years. It also created a very conspicuous demonstration template for many emperors in later generations. Before Cao Pi, the foreign relatives abolished the emperor and returned to the abolished emperor, but they still had to support Liu''s son, but after Cao Pi, they broke this rule, so Sima Yi followed suit, and at the same time made all the emperors of later generations stare at the powerful officials. I''m afraid that there will be another Cao Pi and Sima Yi.


    Fei Qian thought for a while, and said to Huang Xu: "Have you brought all the water from each house?" 』


    Huang Xu said that he had already fetched them all.


    Fei Qian turned his head and said to Pang Tong: "Let me trouble Lao Shiyuan to "invite" these guys to drink tea...By the way, I will show them this one..."


    Fei Qian handed what he just wrote to Pang Tong. Pang Tong looked up and down and understood what Fei Qian meant. 』


    What happens when interests meet morality?


    Daode looked pure and innocent. He just wanted to explain the facts to Liyi, but then he was grabbed by Yili, lifted his skirt and pressed it to the ground and rubbed it crazily. Daode could only cry bitterly while yelling, "I protest, I condemn, I strongly protest, I solemnly condemn...』


    So, there are still rules.


    And no one likes rules, especially rules that obviously bind themselves.


    Many people like to kidnap others morally, but they don’t like being kidnapped by others morally. They also like others to line up honestly, but when it’s their turn, it’s best to find a relationship to join the queue.


    It’s like the water coming out of the Kunming Pool in the Pick Pond…


    When Pang Tong brought a group of servants to the front lobby with large and small cans in his arms, Wei Duan, Du Ji and the others were all taken aback, completely unaware of what Pang Tong was going to do.


    Pang Tong chuckled: "My lord knows everyone''s hard work, and I have specially prepared tea for you!" Come on! Put them away by their last names! 』


    Not long after, there were two more jars in front of everyone, one big and one small. There is also a surname on the jar, which corresponds to the person.


    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what mystery Pang Tong was up to.


    Pang Tong was still laughing, but this laughter sounded a little gloating, "Come on!" Make tea for you! 』


    Another servant brought a lot of small clay stoves, small copper cauldrons, etc., and put them in front of everyone, and then took a few spoonfuls of water from the small jars, added them to the copper kettles, and then covered them. Then gently fan the charcoal, boil water and cook tea. The servants are skilled in their movements. Although there are suddenly a lot of utensils in the hall, there is still no sense of confusion and confusion. On the contrary, it is neat like a ceremony...


    Pang Tong looked left and right, smiled, and didn''t speak.


    Everyone didn''t understand, and they didn''t know what to say.


    Because there was not much water, the tea was cooked in a while, and then a bowl was made and placed in front of everyone.


    『Please drink! ” Pang Tong gestured.


    Everyone looked around and picked up the tea bowl hesitantly. To tell the truth, since sitting in the morning till now, I haven''t had any water to drink, so I''m naturally thirsty. Seeing the tea soup is also normal, I also feel that Fei Qian won''t want to poison everyone on the spot, so I drink all of them.


    Anyway, if you really want to kill someone, you don''t need to be so troublesome.


    Seeing that everyone had drunk it, Pang Tong asked with a smile, "How does it taste?" This tea is all the same, the water is also the water from Kunming Pond...』


    『Good tea! 』


    『Good tea! 』


    Among the crowd, there was an evaluation that I didn''t know whether it was perfunctory or sincere.


    Pang Tong laughed again, then suddenly stopped smiling, and said in a deep voice, "Change the cauldron and start cooking again!" 』


    There were question marks on everyone''s heads, watching the servants come out holding the small copper kettles, and then come in with the new small copper kettles, put them on the stove, and then lifted the seals of their respective big jars...


    Suddenly a strange, special atmosphere permeated the hall.


    Pang Tong couldn''t help sniffling, and then said: "The tea, it''s still the same tea, and the water, it''s still the water from various Kunming canals..."


    Watching the servants spoon some water, which was obviously different from the small pots before, into the small copper cauldron to cook, some of them suddenly understood something, and began to be unable to sit still, twisting from side to side, as if sitting It''s the same on the pin mat.


    Not long after, the tea in the second kettle was ready, and the strange smell in the lobby became more intense.


    Pang Tong couldn''t help but slapped his nose, and then felt that it was useless and still smelled the same, so he said in a low voice, "Everyone! Please drink! 』


    At this moment, some smart people have realized the seriousness of the problem, and suddenly beads of sweat dripped from their heads, and they hesitated to serve the tea bowl.


    Du Ji was silent for a moment, then looked at the large and small pots in front of him, thought for a moment, reached out to pick up the tea bowl, smelled it, smiled, and started drinking.


    Pang Tong glanced at Du Ji, nodded slightly, and motioned to the rest of the people, "Please! Could it be that someone needs to serve him? 』


    The rest of the people, some with earthy faces, some sweaty, and some like Du Ji, just drank directly, and some held tea bowls, trembling but dared not drink.


    『Kunming Pond, directly supplies water to Chang’an! Pang Tong looked at it, and then snorted coldly, "Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been laws and regulations, open canals are for drinking, and dark canals are for drainage!" The water in the small pot is the water in the open channel for you to enter the house! In the big jar, it is taken from the open channels where you leave your home! If you abide by the rules, why be afraid of drinking it! Please! drink! 』


    Environmental governance is hard to say. After all, not everyone in the Han Dynasty understood the importance of the environment. If Fei Qian hadn’t emphasized it again and again in the army, then even Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao would have assumed the so-called bathing generals. The title of Lieutenant of Manure Control barely made some health regulations a habit in the army.


    As for the folks, it is even more difficult.


    Years of bad habits, how can it be changed? Does no one know that there is a problem with discharging sewage wastewater into open channels? I must know, but why do you still do it? Convenient. Anyway, it''s at the water outlet, and then it has nothing to do with me, as long as my courtyard is clean, other people are other people''s business.


    However, environmental governance is also very simple. When other people''s affairs become their own personal pain, everything is simple. The previous reasons and delays have become the current pain...


    『My lord has issued repeated orders and repeated orders that no waste or dirty things should be discharged into the open channels in Chang''an, and all of them should be transported to Beishan to fill the gullies! Pang Tong sneered, "how about it?" Hehe, for today''s tea, we use the water from the open channels of your houses! Today''s rules are tomorrow''s rules! If each has his own stomach and intestines, he only wants to clean the front door, and he doesn''t care about other people''s dirty, this is the tea of ??the moment! Captain Li..."


    Pang Tong turned his head and said to Li Yuan maliciously: "If someone remembers correctly, Li Duwei''s mansion seems to be downstream of Wei Shenlu..." Of course not immediately, but just thinking about it is disgusting enough .


    Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the tea bowl in front of him, then turned to look at Wei Duan with a huff.


    At the same time, not only Li Yuan, but also many people also looked at other people, because they knew that the water of their open channel came from the previous family...


    Beads of sweat rolled down Wei Duan''s forehead, he gritted his teeth secretly, and without looking at others, he directly picked up the tea bowl and swallowed the tea soup in one gulp. Li Yuan''s face on the side looked a little better. After the flesh on the side of his face twitched twice, he withdrew his original resentful gaze.


    Actually, Fei Qian was somewhat conscientious. He didn''t let these guys drink raw water, and even used tea powder to counteract the smell, otherwise these guys might vomit and diarrhea when they go back?


    Even so, Wei Duan still felt sick in his heart, and then gritted his teeth to hold back the tumbling stomach, and fell to the ground with a thud, tears came as soon as he said, "I, I deserve death... for failing to share my lord''s worries, And the discipline at home is not strict... ah... at home, the dog is now completely disabled with both hands, it''s all... all the fault of the guilty minister...』


    Speaking of Wei Dan being disabled, Wei Duan was really distressed, his nose and tears were mixed together, and his voice naturally became a little more sincere.


    Pang Tong gave Wei Duan a cold look, waved his hand, and said, "Go back to your seat first." 』


    『The lord has said something before, the hour has come, what can you do? ”Pang Tong looked around and asked.


    The scene was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.


    『As expected by the lord! ”Pang Tong took out the piece of paper written by Fei Qian from his sleeve, “Come here, pass it on, everyone, take a good look!” 』


    The servant stepped forward respectfully, then unfolded the paper and displayed it in the hall for everyone to watch.


    『Think about the source of food, think about the rules first! ’ Pang Tong patted the table, aggressively, his face sinking like water, ‘The Qin and Han Dynasties established the rules of Kunming Pool, correcting its original intention, it is to drink cleanly! If everyone does not abide by the rules, and only seeks their own convenience, and mixes filth into the open channel, how can they drink it? The rules of prosecuting are to seek talents, but now that people in the world are selfish and mixed, how can they drink? The lord has worked hard to create the imperial examination, just like the pool of pickaxes is unbearable, Kunming is mixed, and he wants to open up new water to live everyone, moisten the court, and benefit the world! But why do you guys? ! 』


    "So-and-so, just a person with little talent from Jingxiang, who has won the respect of the lord, so he is here," Pang Tong pointed to himself, and then pointed to everyone present, "Of course, if a certain person has no water to drink in the pass, he has his own Jingxiang deer." A ladle of water! You are all surnames in Guanzhong, if Sanfu water smells bad, where do you go to drink it? Ok? ah? ! 』


    『Without partiality and no party, the kingly way is swaying, without party and impartiality, the kingly way is mediocre! Pang Tong pointed to the words written by Fei Qian, and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone wants to keep their houses clean, but they regard filth as obscene!" Who is it? Clean and geometric? I can''t blame the people in Shandong, laugh at the people in Shanxi like pigs, and the people in Guanzhong like dogs! 』


    『Someone is willing to break his body and bones for the great cause of the Lord! 』Li Yuan stood up and fell to the ground.


    『I wish to die for my lord! 』


    『Dare to do your best for the master! 』


    Everyone followed suit and shouted slogans.


    Pang Tong waited until the chaotic voices of the crowd had almost subsided, and then said with disdain, "If I remember correctly, when my lord ordered you to clean up the open channel, improve the water source, revise the law, and relieve disasters and appease the people, etc. , you are all eloquent, just like the present? 』


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Pang Tong sneered, "Words are not as good as words, and words are not as good as actions...Since you all have words of loyalty and benevolence and righteousness, you should put them into practice!" Come on! Send pen, ink, paper and inkstone! It is convenient for you to write directly here, what do you want to do, let me list them all! If the words are insincere and the words are contradictory, so what should I do? Write it down in detail... Hehe, if you are hungry and thirsty, there is still a water jar here, so just drink it! 』
