Chapter 488: Praising


    Outside Pingyang City, the war has been going on for some time. The original mess, potholes, and places where flies were flying around were gradually filled with sand. The dead bodies and the broken limbs were also taken away and buried deeply. Fortunately, the weather temperature was not too high now, otherwise a large amount of lime would be needed to suppress the occurrence of the plague.


    The weeds on the official road outside the city have been generally cleared away, but the ragged civilians are like human-shaped barnyard grass, swaying and skinny. When they see Fei Qian''s guard of honor, they kneel down from a distance. Next, he kowtowed and stepped aside before going about his farm work...


    For these people, they never dare to ask for anything extravagantly. As long as they have a mouthful of food and a field to plant, they have hope of living. However, there are other people who often have unsatisfied desires, as if they can''t fill them no matter how much they eat. Dissatisfied with the shallow folds in the stomach.


    Fei Qian''s motorcade honor guard arrived ten miles away from Pingyang and stopped.


    Wei Liu had some doubts in his mind, and he raised his hands to Fei Qian and said, "Let Liu go and check it out."


    Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "That''s all, just wait here."


    Wei Liu didn''t dare to say anything, so he stepped aside uneasily.


    Fei Qian glanced at Wei Liu with the corner of his eye. He said nothing and sat quietly in the car with his hands folded.


    Hong Kong car, um, no, it’s just a simple car, with three protective panels, the paint is a bit old, and some parts are damaged.


    There were no BMWs, just two ordinary variegated horses, riding together. Their coats were a little dull, and they were a little laborious and slow to pull the cart.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Linfen''s three elder guards were older, Fei Qian wouldn''t have wanted to come by car at all, but this was a courtesy, and he still had to do some of it. However, it felt awkward to let Fei Qian spend his money to make himself fat. What is necessary.


    About half an hour later, we saw a pair of chariots and horses approaching from afar. A flag stood in front, with the word "guard" on it fluttering in the wind.


    As he got closer, Fei Qian saw an old man sitting in front of the Wei family''s carriage. He was dressed in rich clothes and a wide robe with long sleeves. Although his hair was white, his face was still rosy, and his three long beards were hanging in the wind. Floating in the wind, it feels a bit like a fairy in the wind.


    Fei Qian got out of the car, took a few steps forward and stood still, smiling and clasping his hands.


    ??Wei''s carriage and horses were getting closer and closer, and when they came to a stop near the front, a puff of smoke and dust was raised, coming towards them...


    ? Huang Chengcheng frowned as he lurked behind Fei, and glanced at Wei Liu beside him.


    "I''m old and incapable of doing things. It''s really a sin to let Fei Zhonglang stay for a long time!" Wei Wang, the old man sitting on the Wei family''s carriage, smiled heartily and had a loud voice, but he said sin on his lips, but there was nothing in his body. He didn''t mean to get out of the car, but he cupped his hands with the hand holding the dove stick, which was regarded as a courtesy.


    The old man with the dove stick does not need to bow before an official, but just bows his hands.


    Fei Qian squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Gong Wei is a virtuous man who governs and educates people. He has worked hard all the way and is really a role model for the younger generation. I wonder if I am lucky enough to ride in the same car?"


    In the same car?


    Wei Wang thought about it in his heart. Although his smile on the surface did not change, he saw at a glance that the road under his feet was full of loess and dust. The Fei Qian car in front of him was old and broken, and even the paint was peeling off in some places. The whole carriage is simply pieced together from a piece of wood, without even a brocade mat, and only two horses are used to pull the carriage. This is simply...


    ?Wei Wang couldn''t help but increase his contempt by another three points, and he refused to change cars at that moment. How is this kind of carriage different from a humble family? Wouldn''t it be a loss of Wei''s face if he sat down?


    In the Han Dynasty, people were called old at fifty.


    For the elderly, the rules of the Han Dynasty are quite good. At fifty, they can eat fine grains and do not serve in the army. At sixty, the government will distribute meat and they will not serve in the army. At seventy, they will receive a dove and stick. They will not bow to the officials. If there is bullying and disobedience, they will be punished with great punishment. Disrespectful criticism will not be forgiven.


    The position of the three elders also requires people over fifty, but Wei Wang may not be over seventy at the moment... almost all counties and counties have some fraud when counting people over fifty years old. The central court and even the emperor Most of them adopt a tacit attitude towards this. The reason for this is not difficult to understand: on the one hand, the false increase in the elderly population does not affect taxes and corvee, and these people will not bear the burden anyway; on the other hand, there are many old people in the countryside, which not only shows that the emperor is wise, but also the local government The outstanding achievements of officials are a good omen for the long-term success of the country.


    ?The kind of carriage that Wei Wang is riding in now is called a push carriage. The shape is not as big as Fei Qian''s carriage, and in this kind of carriage, the old man can sit cross-legged instead of sitting upright, and the wheels are wrapped with cattails to reduce the bumps.


    Actually, it’s not impossible to change trains at Weiwang, but I’m used to being wrapped in soft brocade cushions, and then immediately sitting upright on a hard board. This is indeed a big difference.


    For example, Fei Qian''s car is like a four-wheel tractor, and Wei Wang''s car is a Mercedes-Benz smart. It seems clear at a glance...


    ?Hence, Wei Wang politely declined Fei Qian''s invitation, citing the difficulty in getting on and off the car. Fei Qian didn''t force it, so he nodded and returned to his car. The group of people staggered back to Pingyang.


    When we arrived at the Yamen Hall of Pingyang Mansion, the guests and hosts were seated.


    "When Wei Gong Yaliang was in charge, he was a scholar in Hedong and a crown prince in the north. Today, he is honored with virtue. Qianshi is honored." Fei Qian said some polite words and invited tea.


    "It''s a ridiculous compliment, it''s a ridiculous compliment. I really don''t deserve it." Wei Wang brushed three strands of his long beard, raised his head and laughed twice, and said, "Fei Zhonglang has made outstanding contributions. He protected Jing and restored the land. He assisted the king at the top and made peace at the bottom. The people of Li people have the ambition to go far, which is really admirable to us rural people. "


    Ban Dingyuan?


    Are you planning to put a high hat on me or to characterize me?


    Fei Qian cupped his hands and said, "Compared with Qian He''s virtues and those of Dingyuan Marquis, I dare not express my merits. Just seeing that the Han family in the north is gone, I will be stained with fishy smell. I will do my best."


    Wei Wang said with a straight face: "No one can be more humble than Fei Zhonglang. Shangjun has been occupied for a long time. The land has been ruined, the crops are ruined, the ethics are unreasonable, people and families have perished. Fei Zhonglang''s majestic appearance and elegant appearance have driven him everywhere. Volunteer soldiers, relieving hangings, fighting fires and floods, making great contributions to the country, and bringing virtue to the people. Looking at the young talents of Heluo, Fei Zhonglang is the best in the world!"


    Although the words sound nice, to Fei Qian, to this extent, well, how should I put it...it feels like those marketers in later generations will praise you from beginning to end after entering the door, even farting - ah, It actually has a sound like silk and bamboo, as smooth as Dove...


    Fei Qian tilted his hands upwards to express his respect for the emperor, and said: "This is the emperor''s sage. The soldiers are responsible for their lives. They hide their talents at the right time. They don''t dare to be greedy for merit! Wei Gong is too praised, too praised." Who knows what this guard is planning now. If he proudly admits it, he might turn around and become arrogant and arrogant.


    "Ah... Mr. Fei Qian, you are so... humble and unparalleled in character..." Wei Wang saw that Fei Qian did not take credit for his achievements and did not accept flattery. He couldn''t help but feel that his thoughts were in vain. He took advantage of drinking tea to read more. He glanced at Feiqian a few times. I originally thought that Fei Qian was still a young man, and he was very arrogant. If he flattered him more, even if he didn''t get carried away, he would inevitably reveal some flaws. However, he didn''t expect that Fei Qian was as calm as an old official...


    Let’s talk about Cao Cao and Liu Bei having a drink and discussing heroes.


    The two of them ate, drank and talked.


    At this time, the soldier who served the food brought the food. Liu Bei found that his thumb was stuck in the dish, and he said angrily: "My mother! What are you doing?!"


    The soldier hurriedly explained: "My finger is injured, and the doctor''s advice is to warm it to normal temperature."


    Liu Bei scolded again: "It''s your mother''s fault! It needs to be warm and warm, so why put it in the vegetables! You can just put it in your own hands!!"


    The soldier replied: "What the envoy said is true. Before the food was served, I actually inserted it into my crotch."
