Chapter 694 There is no greater good than good


    Formal banquets in the Han Dynasty usually started at sunrise, with tea and some dried fruit snacks and other items for chatting. It officially started at noon, and then dishes were served one after another, and people sang and laughed. , more or less some dancing girls and musicians will be invited to add to the fun. Even if they are interested, the host and guests will come to the venue to dance and sing. It is not a big new thing. This continues until the sunset, and the whole day''s feast is temporarily over After a paragraph, the guests will either go to a small gathering under the leadership of the attendants, or go to a side room to sleep in the high bed. Anyway, the scattered snacks and drinks are still continuously supplied. Sometimes, because of the large number of people, there will be a flowing table at the beginning, and then it will continue day and night. , singing and laughing without stopping.


    ?Of course, these things are only for the nobles, but for ordinary people, eating a soup cake feast with big meat slices is already quite luxurious and enough to talk about for a long time.


    The lower the level of people, the lower the focus. This is instinct and a kind of helplessness.


    It''s like only ordinary citizens can greet each other and ask if they have eaten, regardless of time and place, because for people living at the bottom, having a stutter is considered a blessing.


    Comparatively, when have you ever seen a head of state ask whether they have eaten when they meet each other?


    At that level, what to eat is a secondary issue, and the important things are often outside of food...


    Just like the banquet held by the Wang family for Yang Zan.


    It doesn’t matter whether you eat fish or sheep, what matters is the potential.


    Wang Jing respectfully greeted Mrs. Wang in the study in the backyard of the Wang family, and put his hands on his forehead. Although he had been kneeling like this for more than ten breaths, Wang Jing did not dare to move without Mrs. Wang''s instructions. .


    Mr. Wang is wrapped in mink skin and is extremely skinny. His eyes are sunken into skull-like eye sockets, like candles swinging in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.


    ??Old Mrs. Wang of the Wang family has been ill for many years. Many people think that this old guy will not live long. It seems that Old Mrs. Wang will fall down at any time, but unfortunately, he has not fallen down yet...


    ??As long as he doesn''t fall, he is the backbone of the Wang family, and even the backbone of the entire Taiyuan gentry.


    "Yang Jiazi, um..." Mrs. Wang''s voice was hoarse and low, like the sound of a saw cutting on hard wood, "...if it succeeds, it will not be in vain for all my hard work..."


    ?One or two hundred years ago, Shangdang was a vassal of Taiyuan and was responsible for guarding the south gate of Taiyuan. But now Shangdang actually wants to become independent on its own. This matter is simply intolerable!


    ??Although the people who were expelled were members of the Wen family, it was like a slap in the face of all the gentry in Taiyuan!


    Mr. Wang didn’t believe a word of the **** notice. He only saw one thing: the Shangdang people were so courageous that they dared to say it publicly.


    ?And the one who lent courage to the Shangdang people was not that so-called Zhonglang General? How can this Zhonglang general be considered a green onion in the face of the power of the Wang family?


    ?However, this guy now has many soldiers and is difficult to deal with...


    A few decades ago, Mr. Wang would not have cared about what Zhonglang called the troops. You must know that there used to be a large number of county soldiers guarding the border in Bingzhou. However, over the years, they have been continuously withdrawn, or They went to suppress the Xiqiang, or to deal with the Yellow Turbans. A few years ago, Zhang Chun in Youzhou rebelled, and took away another group of people...


    No matter how rich you are, you still can’t withstand the abuse of a prodigal!


    Moreover, the northern part of Bingzhou really needs a person with soldiers to guard and defend against the barbarians. Otherwise, although the Shangdang land in Taiyuan is surrounded by surrounding mountains and has a natural barrier, once the surrounding counties and counties are all invaded by the barbarians, If people rob everything, then even if it is difficult to cross the mountains, it will be difficult to resist a greedy heart.


    Having said that, this Fei Qian may not have any intention of conflict with the Wang family, otherwise he would not abandon the Shangdang and retreat. It seems that it is probably these unfed wolves of the Shangdang who have some evil intentions, which makes the Yang family You might as well go and tidy up...


    "When you go to Wen''s house, just say..." Mrs. Wang wrapped the mink skin tighter around her body, as if it would be unbearable to bear the cold of autumn and winter if a few gaps were exposed, and her words were also cold, "... people If you are not a sage, you can never make mistakes. If you can correct your mistakes, there is no greater good." Wang Jing looked up and saw the ghost-like eyes of Mrs. Wang. He couldn''t help but shuddered, bowed his head quickly, and then asked to leave again.


    “No one is a sage, and no one can make mistakes! If you can correct your mistakes, there is no greater good.”


    Sounds good, like a good saying.


    But actually…


    ??Did Wen Hao use his power for personal gain when he served as the Shangdang Governor?


    Just kidding, of course it is impossible not to have it, but when he was dragging it into his home, he did not forget to give a share to the gentry in Taiyuan, especially the Wang family.


    ?Although Wen Hao has not done many deeds worthy of praise from the world in the past few years, there is still hard work without credit. When Mrs. Wang said this, it was almost equivalent to erasing Wen Hao''s hard work in the past few years.


    Is Wen Hao a sage?


    No, so of course there is something wrong.


    What should I do if I make a mistake?


    Go and correct it! As long as you recognize the mistakes and correct them, you will be "good at all".


    What if you don’t change it?


    ?This sentence comes from Jin Linggong in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, he also promised to correct his mistakes under Shi Ji''s advice. However, Jin Linggong later regretted it, broke his promise and did not correct it, and was assassinated in the end...


    ?Sixteen characters are ordinary, but when you turn them over and look at them, you can see the hidden blood behind them.


    ??If it wasn''t Wen Hao''s fault, how could he lose the control of the Shangdang?


    ?The Shangdang people did such a big thing under their jurisdiction, but Wen Hao didn''t take any effective measures before and after. Isn''t this a mistake?


    Yang Zan, the governor of Bingzhou, has neither money nor troops. If he wants to regain Shangdang, he will naturally have no feng shui and no help from vegetation, so naturally someone will have to come out to resist the bulk of these people and materials. Resistant.


    Therefore, Mr. Wang’s meaning is also very clear. The matter of going to the party is something caused by the failure of the Wen family. Now is the time for the Wen family to "change it." If the Wen family knows how to do it, they can correct it. Of course, we all agree that there is no such thing as a good thing, but if the Wen family doesn''t understand it, or refuses to admit it, and refuses to make efforts to correct it, then...


    Wang Jing can understand Old Mrs. Wang''s words, and naturally the Wen family can also understand them. If they can''t understand, or are unwilling to understand, then they will naturally lose the right to continue playing happily together.


    In the imperial lineage of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was a branch of Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing was the third generation, Liu Fa was the fourth generation, Liu Mai was the fifth generation, Liu Wai was the sixth generation, Liu Hui was the seventh generation, and Liu Qin was the eighth generation. Liu Xiuqia is the ninth generation.


    Then counting from Liu Xiu, Emperor Ming is the tenth generation grandson of Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Zhang is the eleventh generation, Emperor Shang is the twelfth generation, Emperor An is the thirteenth generation, Emperor Shun and Emperor Huan are both fourteenth generation, and Emperor Ling is the fifteenth generation. When it came to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie was the 16th grandson of Emperor Gaozu and the 14th grandson of Emperor Jing.


    Hehehehe...


    Excuse me, what should Liu Bei call Emperor Xian of Han?
