Chapter 1964 Hermit fame and fortune, the name of the name
Year after year, when the new year is coming, around Chang''an, there will be lights and festoons, especially on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, every family will pay homage to the kitchen god. Heaven and earth have added a lot of unique atmosphere in the world.
The so-called twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month in later generations, the custom of the Stove Lord ascending to heaven evolved from this. Every year on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, every household will offer some food, and the abundance and frugality are up to everyone, but they all represent the same meaning, that is, the kitchen **** can bless the whole family with more food sources in the coming year. This custom has already begun in the pre-Qin period. up.
The Kitchen God was responsible for creating food and was an important deity in the Han Dynasty. In the pre-Qin period, there was a tradition of the so-called "La Festival" at the end of December every year. In addition to offering sacrifices to ancestors, it also included five sacrifices: the kitchen god, the door god, the walking god, the household **** and the earth god. Later, these gods gradually merged with foreign gods, and there were some new changes, but the meaning of the overall representation did not change much.
By the way, the door gods of the Han Dynasty were Shen Tu and Yu Lei, and they were divided into left and right.
The Han Dynasty also had the New Year custom of removing the old and welcoming the new, that is, general cleaning. According to the records in "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", this custom already existed in the Yao and Shun era. Of course, Yao and Shun are too far away, but at least it shows that the custom of cleaning before the Qin Dynasty already existed.
Then worship ancestors, eat New Year’s Eve dinner, give New Year’s money, or call it “Worthy Money”, and pay New Year’s greetings to each other. These are traditional customs that began in the Han Dynasty, and have been passed down from generation to generation until later generations…
Fei Qian stood on the high platform in Chang''an, watching the dim lights of Wanjia.
New Year for future generations?
Well, a group of people finished their meal hastily, the juniors were absent-minded, and even thought the New Year’s Eve dinner was too greasy. The only purpose of eating with the elders was to get the red envelopes. As soon as the red envelopes were in hand, they immediately slipped away to play games...
Most young and middle-aged people are looking at their mobile phones, sitting and lying down, looking at their mobile phones, and watching their mobile phones all night. The time spent watching mobile phones is longer than that of their parents.
Then the parents at home accompanied the smiling faces, calling for this to eat, and eagerly looking forward to this and that, but most of them in exchange did not eat, or were tired of eating, and then waved their hands, even a smiling face was too lazy to respond to the parents . The parents had no choice but to maintain a stiff smile, and then cast their eyes on the TV to avoid being too embarrassed.
This is the new year for future generations.
『Lang Jun! 』
Huang Yueying took Fei Zhen by the hand, excitedly went up to the high platform, then pointed to the distance and asked: "Is this year''s grand Nuo going to leave here?" 』
Feiqian nodded, pointed and said: "Start here, then go around the city, then pass through Wuling, and finally throw it into the Wei River..."
Huang Yueying hugged Fei Zhen so that little Fei Zhen could also see the distant scenery, "I heard that this time there will be 120 people participating in the Nuo opera dance?" 』
"That''s right, one hundred and twenty good sons..." Fei Qian smiled slightly, "Just preparing the big gun in his hand, there is a whole warehouse... The cavalry will also be dispatched, and there will also be one hundred and twenty... When the time comes Standing here, you can see it...」
『That’s great...』 Huang Yueying sighed, then turned her head to tease Xiao Feizhen, 『When the time comes, let’s watch the big Nuo here, okay? Are you happy? 』
Fei Zhen said in an eloquent way: "Report Xin, report Xin..."
The officials of the Han Dynasty held a grand Nuo opera on the day before New Year''s Day in order to drive away the epidemic. This time Feiqian won the Xijing Shangshutai, which is almost equivalent to the second court hall. Naturally, the scene of the Nuo opera is even more grand, to show wealth and pray for God''s blessing. Although it is said that Fei Qian believes that things are human-made, but the people prefer to see these things, so Fei Qian complied and mobilized 120 good family members in soap clothes. On that day, they will hold big guns, and some of them will wear masks The face of the bear skin dances with the twelve beasts, and finally the cavalry drives the statue representing the disease until the Wei River, which will represent the disease. Well, this year, locusts were added and thrown into the water to be burned.
"That day, um, um..." Huang Yueying hesitated for a moment, finally bit her lip, and said, "Let the Cai family girl come over too... Anyway, the recruitment is done, and the geese are also sent... It will not be a few days away , it’s pitiful for the younger sister of the Cai family to celebrate the New Year at home alone...』
Fei Qian smiled, but vetoed: "Forget it, it''s not a few days away... but you, can you really let go?" 』
Huang Yueying pouted, and muttered softly: "If you can''t let go, can you still retreat?" Hey... no, I mean, sister Cai, I can still... well, I should be able to...』
Fei Qian stretched out his hand, pulled Huang Yueying to his side, and hugged her and Xiao Feizhen in his arms.
Huang Yueying hit Fei Qian''s shoulder twice with her head, finally sighed, and leaned on Fei Qian''s shoulder.
Xiao Feizhen turned her little head, looked at Fei Qian for a while, looked at Huang Yueying for a while, then subconsciously stuffed her chubby thumb into her mouth, her eyeballs rolled around, thinking about something...
...(⊙_⊙?)...
Different from Feiqian''s place with a casual atmosphere and hidden hatchet atmosphere, Pang Tong''s here is very busy.
Almost equivalent to Fei Qian''s Minister of Personnel, Pang Tong will list all the officials who replaced those who were dismissed before the New Year, and then hand it over to Fei Qian for the final ruling.
This is a very arduous task, because about 30% of the officials who have been dismissed, and every official who replaces them, not only needs to consider whether they are suitable, but also need to consider who will replace these people themselves. …
Pang Tong stroked his chin, then looked at the pile of paperwork on the table, "Come on!" Make some more strong tea! 』No, you need to speed up, if this continues, you might not be able to catch up with the Nuo!
『Go and prepare some candle lamp oil! Pang Tongtong ordered while drinking strong tea to refresh himself, "Also, bring You Fufeng''s papers too... Besides, is Ziyu back yet?" Send someone to have a look, and if he comes back tell him to come quickly! 』
Kan Ze, who has relatively strong computing power, left it to Xun You, and Zhuge Jin, dragged over to help. After all, Xun You also wanted to count the statistics of the counties in each county over the past year, and there were piles of numerical reports, and he was also too busy.
However, Pang Tong felt very fulfilled and happy with such a busy schedule.
After the large-scale inspections were strictly enforced and many officials were removed, the expected large-scale opposition did not appear, and some small voices were quickly suppressed by the new officials who were about to take office. On the one hand, the reason why these officials were removed from their hats is very clear and indisputable. On the other hand, Fei Qian does not have all the positions vacated by these officials. You can share some of them, opinions, they will be suppressed for the time being...
Of course, maybe these people are still planning to wait until they get the fruits first, and then come to Jijiwaiwai to fight for more benefits, but by then, it may be too late...
Pang Tong chuckled twice, thinking that it would be very interesting to look at the faces of these people at that time, but the next moment, his eyes fell on the piles of documents near him, and the smile he just showed froze again. "Has Ziyu arrived yet? Hurry again! 』
The clerk who was assisting at the side responded quickly, then turned around and hurried out, and when he reached the corner of the corridor, he almost collided with another person who was rushing to report. Both of them were taken aback, and after glancing at each other, they separated again.
『What is it? Pang Tong heard some movement, but he didn''t raise his head and asked directly.
『Report to Your Majesty, news from Hanoi...』
"Oh? Pang Tong put down his pen, "Bring it here!" 』
Pang Tong opened the letter, glanced up and down, couldn''t help laughing, then scratched his head for a while, couldn''t help it, stood up, explained, and hurried to the Hussar General''s Mansion.
Arriving at Fei Qian''s place, Pang Tong passed the newly received news to Fei Qian to check, and also took a teacup to drink slowly to relax himself.
After Fei Qian read the letter, he couldn''t help laughing out, "I''m begging for carp on ice, haha, what a begging carp on ice..."
The letter generally talks about a series of things that happened after Cao Cao’s examination, including the counterattack of the Jizhou gentry and Cao Cao’s subsequent actions. Of course, the most typical one is Wang Xiang’s lying on the ice and begging for a carp.
Actually, most people in the Han Dynasty, even in the Jin Dynasty, still regarded Wang Xiang’s bragging as “fiction” stories, and didn’t take it seriously. Everyone knew it well, knowing that it was just to gain fame, just like Liu Bang said he killed some dragon snake, but in fact it might be that Liu Bang was drunk and was startled by a small snake in the grass.
The children of the gentry in Jizhou were more serious, coaxing Wang Xiang to step down. Of course, these people were not against Wang Xiang, but aimed at the examination system implemented by Cao Cao in Yecheng, Jizhou.
『This is the disadvantage of hermits...』 Fei Qian smiled, shook his head, and sighed, "Since the Han Dynasty, hermits have been named after them, and they can also benefit from it, so there are so many imitators..."
Hermitism and hermits, as a special social phenomenon and objective fact in Chinese history, have existed for a long time. However, in the Han Dynasty, this social phenomenon was very significant. , in the revised "Hanshu", there are also a large number of biographical parts about hermits, and they often express, "Executing filial piety and honesty, virtuous and upright, and their characteristics are all described by illness", "Secretism and escape, floating far away on the seashore ", "Reclusive study, extensive study of the "Five Classics", and Ming Tuwei" and so on, there are even many praises, showing that these people''s "subtlety" is very indignant. It''s time to break the crown and destroy the crown, let''s hold each other and leave...』
Among the so-called "hermits" in this area, some are indeed genuine sentimentalists who are unwilling to join forces because they have seen the corruption of the government, but there are also some who pretend to be "seeing Nanshan leisurely" in the name of "there is a real meaning in it".
Because most of these "hermits" are of Confucian origin. Among the various schools in China, Confucianism is the most particular about manipulating the world, intervening in society, and is famous for joining the world to seek official positions, and even takes it as its lifelong goal. In comparison, Huang Lao and other schools do not have such a strong demand, and there are some classic words of "I will drag my tail in the paint".
Pang Tong nodded slightly, and said: "If you are loyal and righteous, and you are ashamed to see the tassels, then you are in the glory of the hills, and those who are willing to wither will be exempted from official careers. You should praise them. This is the number one hermit." There are also those who avoid wars and chaos, the so-called those who do not enter a dangerous country, and do not live in a chaotic country, cover up the danger to seek safety, human nature, there is nothing wrong with it, this is also the second hermit. The above-mentioned generations are all acceptable, and there is nothing to criticize. 』
The earliest hermits were probably these two types of people.
One is because of changes in the current situation. For example, after Wang Mang usurped the throne during the Wang Mang period, many people felt that Wang Mang was a rebellious usurper. Therefore, they should choose to escape to the mountains or live in seclusion instead of serving as officials like the vassals Boyi and Shuqi brothers in the Shang Dynasty. To be a "Second Minister" is the loyalty belief that Quan Qi upholds, and it is naturally worthy of praise.
The other is human instinct, to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Because of the chaos of war, there is nothing to say about hiding in the mountains to avoid military disasters. After all, this is human nature.
"However, in the time of Guangwu, there were a lot of praises and special promotions, so that those who see fame seek their names, and those who see profits seek their benefits..." Fei Qian shook his head, sighed, and said, "Then the hermits will be corrupted, and the world will be corrupted." In order to seek fame and fortune, falsehoods and prophecies, lies and supernatural powers, just like "lying on ice and begging for a carp"...』
Speaking of this, Fei Qian couldn''t help laughing again, "It''s just, haha, hahaha... I really didn''t expect that Cao Sikong actually... unexpectedly, hahahaha..."
Pang Tong also laughed, "It can be said that it is a disaster for the fish in the pond..."
The blame for the hermit should be the so-called "son of the plane" Liu Xiulai.
When Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, it marked the official establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It''s just that, although from the "orthodox" point of view, Liu Xiu''s political group has basically completed the historical task of "reviving the Han Dynasty and rejuvenating Liu", but in terms of the system and the actual restoration of the gradual stability of the national situation, Liu Xiu The regime of the group is still facing many problems, the most important of which is how to treat the above-mentioned hermits, how to appease and make good use of this group of scholars with high cultural literacy...
In this regard, Liu Xiu and his officials took measures to affirm and reward these hermits who "observed the chastity" during the Wang Mang period, "issued an edict to show their nobles, recorded their high integrity, and drew images", and at the same time specially promoted them. For example, Guangwu promoted hermits Du Lin first enlisted to worship the censor, and then served as the chief minister to show his generosity.
At the same time, he also expressed an extremely tolerant attitude towards hermits who were unwilling to become officials, and personally issued an edict saying, "Since ancient times, there must be people who are not welcome to the kings and lords of the Ming Dynasty." Boyi and Shuqi do not eat Zhou millet, and the Zhou party in Taiyuan does not accept my salary, and each has his own ambitions." He also rewarded these hermits with scarves and silk.
Of course, judging from the strategy at the time, there seemed to be no problem with what Liu Xiu did, but such a super-standard, large-scale promotion of talents also made the original "hermit" taste begin to lose its shape.
Huaxia people are very smart, especially the Confucian children who are full of articles. When they see a hermit and an official, they can be directly promoted from an ordinary "county official" to a central official "servant censor". To be honest, one step at a time, it is impossible to say that you will not be able to climb up for the rest of your life, so how to choose in the end, which path to take, is there any need to talk about it?
Therefore, after Wang Mang and Liu Xiu, there are more and more "hermits". Many people "hidden" no matter what they have to say.
Then the question arises, if it is really "hidden", who will know whether the guy in the deep mountains and old forests is a savage or a learned scholar? So the second question arises, if there is "hiding", there must be "blowing", otherwise it will become a real "hermit"...
Everyone was playing it, and later it evolved that not only the "hermits" were playing it, but also ordinary gentry children, otherwise how could they compete with the "hermits"? As for how to make a gimmick, you can generally refer to a certain circle in later generations. A photo, a leg, an arm, and a pinch of hair can all blow out tricks. It''s a little bit out of line, but if you compare it with those fifty-cent articles of later generations, it''s quite reserved.
The children of Jizhou pulled Wang Xiang''s skin and disturbed the spread of Cao Cao''s examination system. However, Cao Cao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He started digging a hole as soon as he turned around. The name of this hole is called Yin stick. …
Cao Cao began to comment on Fei Qian''s nickname in Yecheng, saying that Fei Qian was neither a "hermit" nor a "Kunpeng". Well, regardless of Jizhou, they have no opinion on Cao Cao''s rhetoric, and they dare not express any opinions.
The Sima family in Hanoi was naturally dissatisfied, but they didn''t dare to jump in front of Cao Cao and scold him, so they sent such a letter to Fei Qian...
Leaving aside Sima Hanoi’s intentions, let’s just talk about the implied meaning of Cao Cao’s move...
"Cao Sikong''s meaning, I''m afraid the drunkard''s meaning is not in drinking..." Fei Qian laughed, and didn''t take this matter as a big problem at all, because Fei Qian has passed and needs to rely on nicknames or something The stage of bragging about improving status and reputation, so whether this title has or not has little impact on Fei Qian, but it has a great impact on Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui.
Pang Tong nodded and said, "Drunkards don''t mean to drink?" This sentence is wonderful! Cao Sikong is afraid that he is going to attack the so-called "eight steeds" and "eight chefs"...』
Fei Qian no longer needs any nicknames to set off. Doesn’t Cao Cao know this? I must have known it, but Cao Cao still did this, obviously he was digging a hole, and once the hole was dug, he would start to cheat people. After all, Fei Qian, the hussar general "Yin Kun", has a big and deep pit, and it must be able to hold many people into it.
Fei Qian pinched the beard on his chin, "Speaking of which, what about this matter... might as well help Sikong..." Although Fei Qian and Cao Cao are now in an opposing relationship, if they are targeting the same problem, to a certain extent It can also become a "friendly army".
Pang Tongtong was stunned, then smiled and said: "My lord''s intention, could it be..."
Fei Qian laughed, looked at Pang Tong, "It''s a bad name for Shi Yuan Fengchu..."
Pang Tong laughed and waved his hands, indicating that he was actually dissatisfied with the title of "hairless bird" a long time ago, and it doesn''t matter if it is gone...
