Chapter 2220 Nothing is wrong


    Unconsciously, it has entered February of the fifth year of Taixing.


    There are three or two peach blossoms outside the window.


    Inside the window...


    A black fat bird.


    Pang Tong looked at the peach blossoms and smacked his lips, "The peach blossoms look pretty, but I don''t know if they taste good..."


    ?Fei Qian took his eyes away from the book and said, "So is this the reason why you came to ask me for barbecue?" 』


    Pang Tongyi clapped his hands, "That''s right!" Peach blossom wine paired with barbecue, delicious! 』


    "Hi..." Fei Qian smiled helplessly, "Let''s put aside the meat-eating thing for now. Let''s talk about it. What''s going on? 』


    ‘…’ Pang Tong pondered for a moment, ‘Nothing’s wrong…’


    ifies. ” Fei Qian put down the scroll.


    Pang Tong rolled his eyelids upward, then sighed and said: "I have another concubine at home, and I am about to send it to Chang''an now... Humph, hehe..."


    "oh? Fei Qian chuckled, "Isn''t this a good thing?" 』


    Pang Tong laughed, then shook his head, sighed, and said nothing.


    “Well...” Fei Qian asked, “What’s wrong? 』


    “…” Pang Tong was silent for a long time, and then said, “Xiaoyu is dead…”


    "Well? who? Um...oh..." Fei Qian was stunned for a moment at first, then thought about it, "What''s going on? 』


    It is said that he accidentally fell into the water and died. Pang Tong laughed again, then shook his head.


    Falling into the water? ” Fei Qian repeated, then looked at Pang Tong’s face and guessed something, “Could it be that…”


    Pang Tong glanced at Fei Qian and said, "Well, I guess it''s about the same..."


    How? Fei Qian frowned and said, "Don''t you already have an eldest son?" 』


    Pang Tong had already given birth to a son in Wancheng, Jingxiang. Then he had a concubine in Chang''an who was also pregnant. Then Pang Tong had no time to take care of him, so he sent her to Jingxiang, and she gave birth to a boy. , but the concubine fell into the water and died.


    This evil woman! ” Pang Tong snorted twice, “Do you think so-and-so is stupid? 』


    Fei Qian was silent for a moment and shook his head, "No, it''s precisely because she knows you''re not stupid..."


    In the Han Dynasty, well, this was also the case in subsequent dynasties. The status of a concubine was very low. Even if she arrived in the palace and did not reach the level of a noble concubine, she would die as soon as she was told to die. A mass grave would be thrown away. No one cares. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty was even more harsh. If a banner girl was killed, the clan government would ask, if a Han girl was killed, haha, it’s not as good as a cat or dog raised by a noble!


    Postpartum depression, of course, is possible, but to a large extent it is just due to hormonal disorders, and it is still somewhat different from serious depression in children. Moreover, in the current era of the Han Dynasty, a family like Pang Tong must have many servants to take care of the young master''s growth. It will not be like the situation in later generations where only the mother takes care of the child by herself, so she is really suffering from depression. The possibility is very small.


    So there is often only one truth...


    ?Well, we shouldn’t be so fussy at this time.


    "Don''t think about it... At least your second son will be well taken care of..." Fei Qian looked at the sky and felt that it was almost time to breastfeed, so he stood up, walked to Pang Tong, and patted Pang Tong on the shoulder. Said, "Let''s go, I''ll treat you to barbecue..."


    "Huh huh..." Pang Tong sighed and stood up, "That''s right... Just wait two years. After two years, when the two boys are older, they will take over and let the evil woman stay in Jing by herself." I''ll wait and go... Okay, let''s not talk about this... I heard that Sima Zhongda has been in the limelight these past two days... tsk tsk..."


    Fei Qian walked out of the main hall and walked to the backyard, saying, "What?" Do you want to join in the fun too? 』


    "Haha, I really don''t want to join in the excitement..." Pang Tong smiled and said, "Speaking of excitement, it is really lively... If the lord hadn''t asked Mr. Zheng and Shui Jing to go to Qinglong Temple to take charge, Sima Zhongda alone, haha, Even if it makes sense, it may not hold up..."


    ?Fei Qian nodded slightly.


    Well, there is no good solution. It’s just like in later generations, when seeing Chinese medicine doctors, they always look for people with gray beards and hairless mouths, which makes them feel uneasy...


    Wait a moment... Fei Qian suddenly thought of something, and then paused slightly.


    Pang Tong suddenly felt a little tense, then blinked twice, looked at Fei Qian, and twitched the corners of his mouth.


    "Well, it''s okay, it''s okay..." Fei Qian turned his head and saw Pang Tong''s tight expression, then smiled and said, "It''s okay, I just suddenly thought of something..."


    ?There are hundreds of medical clinics, but Pang Tong still habitually sent his concubines to Jingxiang after giving birth...


    ??Obviously what Sima Yi said was reasonable and factual, and his criticism of the Five Virtues was thorough enough, but there are still some people who feel that it is not as good as Zheng Xuan and Mr. Shui Jing to express their opinions...


    Obviously I was the one who came first...well, I got involved.


    That’s pretty much what it means anyway.


    Fei Qian walked to the backyard and sat down in the pavilion. While ordering his entourage to prepare barbecue, he motioned for Pang Tong to sit down as well.


    ??The followers in Fei Qian''s backyard were also very happy. After all, Fei Qian was not the kind of wasteful person. After killing the sheep, he would also cook mutton soup, haggis, etc., so naturally everyone scored a point.


    ?Fei Qian also noticed this, and then some new questions seemed to pop up in his mind...


    "Lord..." Pang Tong sat aside and asked cautiously, "If you have anything to say, just tell me..."


    "It''s okay, it''s okay..." Fei Qian responded subconsciously, and then realized, "Well, actually there is something...but it doesn''t matter much..."


    Pang Tong was sitting in danger and said, "My lord, please speak." 』


    "There''s really nothing to do... Well, even if there is something, it''s not something I can do right now," Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Don''t be like this...relax..."


    Pang Tong looked at Fei Qian and felt that Fei Qian didn''t seem to be fooling him, so he relaxed a little and became more casual.


    "I just heard what you said about Sima Zhongda..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Then I thought of the Spring and Autumn Schools... During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there must have been the theory of Fuxi and Nuwa, but most of them were... Well, how should I put it, it’s relatively simple... or it hasn’t been sanctified yet... After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period... there was Pangu..."


    Pang Tong nodded incomprehensively, although he still didn''t quite understand what Fei Qian was expressing or thinking about.


    "Let''s put it this way, Kong Zhongni..." Fei Qian glanced at Pang Yi and said, "Confucius is a person...a person who can cry, laugh, be sad and suffer, who needs to wear good clothes, eat good food, and be a high official. …right? 』


    Ran. ” Pang Tong nodded. "But..." Fei Qian clasped his palms together, "Then, although he was still said to be a human being at the beginning, now he is said to be a sage, and from now on... he is a god, or... Similar to gods, they then come to the human world to pass on some ideas and teach some disciples... This process, well, maybe it can be called "deification"..."


    Pang Tong nodded slightly, "It''s just like talking about Fuxi and Nuwa in the Spring and Autumn Period... With the head of a human and the body of a snake, she can call the wind and rain, move mountains and move seas..."


    "Yes, so there are some problems now..." Fei Qian said, "The theory of the Five Virtues was just a speculation or a rhetoric at the beginning, but later it became "deified", and then since it is " "God", of course there can be no mistakes and cannot be changed... This "deification" may not always be a good thing... It''s like I made some gunpowder now, and then I heard someone saying that I can do magic. ...Haha, I''m afraid after a while, it will be said that I invited some immortal from the sky, and then mastered the Heavenly Gang, Earthly Evil, Nine Yin, Nine Yang, Tai Chi, Shen Xiao, and Five Thunder Methods. With a wave of my hand, thunder and lightning shot out... 』


    ‘Aha? What method? It sounds very good..." Pang Tong laughed so hard, "It''s a good name, it sounds mighty and domineering! Just call the gunpowder bombs this or that Nine Yins and Nine Yangs or something..."


    Fei Qian also burst out laughing.


    From the very beginning, China’s path has been different from that of the West, so using Western methods to measure or standardize China’s path feels a bit pretentious.


    "Someone came to me a few days ago, accusing me with snot and tears that I ruined the foundation of our ancestors. They said that Yin Yang and the Five Elements are Chinese treasures and were passed down by immortals. The Hetu and Luoshu are even more exquisite and contain the heaven, earth and universe. The most reasonable thing..." Fei Qian shook his head and sighed, "Now I really feel that these people are out of their minds... Wouldn''t it be nice to treat a thing or a person normally? It has to be "deified", and then this cannot be moved, that cannot be changed, did the gods say it, did the gods do it... It''s really..."


    "Yin Yang and the Five Elements, I think it makes sense, and I have never said that it should be abolished. I even welcome everyone to study it in depth and find new things from it, instead of just holding on to the legacy left by our ancestors. Crying bitterly, scolding others for not being respectful enough..." Fei Qian took a breath and said slowly, "Just like Kong Zhongni, when you see him as a person, it will arouse the desire to imitate him... Write books and establish works, study literature, and educate all people. It is impossible to say that one day he will be respected as Confucius in the world... If he is deified, he will look like a god, who can do it? 』


    ‘Well…’ Pang Tong nodded, ‘That’s true. People can still compete with each other, and they have to compete with gods...hehe..."


    "The ancient sages proposed the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements because they needed Yin-Yang and Five Elements to specifically explain and solve some problems that they encountered in their time. However, they were unable to explain it very clearly, so we need to continue. Go and study..." Fei Qian said, "So we need to solve more problems based on them... Just like yesterday, Zijian came to me and asked me why they looked exactly the same size and weight. The materials and processes used in smelting iron ore are all the same, but some can be smelted successfully, while others cannot be smelted..."


    "Then I told him that all things in nature have five elements, and the five elements are mixed. Although they are all "gold", the "gold" is different. Some gold may contain less of others, so it is easier to smelt. Some golds are more complex and difficult to refine, but how to distinguish them, you still need to rely on yourself, test more, and verify more... Don''t be bound by experience... Just like under gold, there is gold and silver. Copper and iron are all gold, and under iron, there are iron ores, iron stones, pig iron, wrought iron, smelting, etc... Even if it is iron stone, there are also Sichuan and Sichuan iron stones, Luliang iron stones, or iron stones from anywhere in the world... More detailed…』


    "First there are Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and then there is Heluo Bagua... Those who set Yin and Yang did not say that there should be no Bagua, and those who set Bagua did not say that Yin and Yang must be eradicated... China has been like this since ancient times, tolerant and innovative..." Fei Qian looked at it Pang Tong, "You and I, naturally, should inherit the past...some things should be kept, and some should be changed...just like your little jade...according to the rules of the older generation, there is really nothing you can do...but if you don''t want to have a second A little jade, or a third one... Then let’s set our rules now... How to check specifically, how to punish, just set the rules, set it high, change it to a lower level, if it feels too low, adjust it a little higher... step by step experiment , a little bit of improvement, rather than the ancestral method that cannot be changed, or simply not changing it because you don’t see it or hear it..."


    Pang Tong was silent for a moment, clapped his hands, stood up, and said, "That''s right!" That''s it! I’ll go right away..."


    "No hurry... no hurry..." Fei Qian greeted, "Look, the meat is here... It''s not too late to go after eating..."


    Pang Tong moved his nose and inhaled the aroma, "Okay, now that I''m full, let''s set the rules!" 』


    "What are you going to do? Let the person who sets the rules do it..." Fei Qian said, "Whatever person does is also a rule in itself..."


    Pang Tong laughed loudly and called to his servants, "Bring some beautiful fat and eat it with me!" 』


    Just when the two of them were about to start eating, a servant suddenly came hurriedly along the corridor. When he got to the pavilion, he prostrated himself on the ground and said, "Master... Mistress Cai, she said that the labor pains are unbearable and she is afraid... that she is going to give birth." Already...』


    "What? ! Giving birth? Fei Qian stood up hastily and was about to walk out.


    Pang Tong quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed Fei Qian''s sleeve, "My lord, please be patient..."


    ?Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath, stood still, and said in a deep voice: "Has the doctor from Chuanbai Medical Center been here?" If not, send someone! Let the steward deploy some women with safe hands and feet to go to the hospital and obey the orders! Go for it! 』


    The servant hurried away, Fei Qian looked at it, then smiled to himself, and said with emotion, "It''s easy to talk to others, but it''s your own fault... Haha... who and what to do... can''t be in a hurry, can''t be messy, do what you have to do." Whatever, do whatever you want! Come, serve! Eat before you do anything! 』


    …(^ω^)…


    Not everyone can stay calm when big things happen, and some people tend to be extremely anxious when things happen.


    For example, Kirby and Cao Chun.


    ?Although they seem to be okay on the surface, they are very anxious in their hearts, as if they want to have diarrhea but cannot find a hole. A few days ago, their scouts discovered some strange movements in Zhao Yun''s troops, but then they waited and waited, but they didn''t see any sign of Zhao Yun''s troops...


    If they want to defeat the powerful cavalry of the Hussars General, a head-on confrontation will obviously cause great damage. This matter is not only known to Cao Chun, but also to Kirby, so the two of them made a plan to lure Zhao Yun from the beginning. The strategy of entering an ambush. A head-on confrontation is like a flower, the nostrils are thick and the armpits are hairy, and an ambush is great. As a little loli, as long as you are not afraid of seven years or more...


    Although the two people are at odds with each other, they seem to be able to cooperate when it comes to dealing with Zhao Yun.


    For Cao Chun, the biggest goal of joining forces with the Xianbei people is Zhao Yun, and for Kirby, Zhao Yun is the roadblock for him to regain the throne of Xianbei King, so the two people once again "cooperate sincerely" and prepare to fight together .


    They set the battlefield in the upper valley.


    There is flat land here, as well as the remnants of the Taihang Mountains. Naturally, there are also woods and canyons to hide the troops.


    Kirby can stand on the top of a hill with his tribe leader, and then arrange the troops with instructions.


    ??Kebi Neng will be on the grassland, pretending to face Zhao Yun openly, but in fact he will find an opportunity to lure Zhao Yun to Shanggu, and then attack with Cao Chun to defeat Zhao Yun...


    Therefore, the key point is whether Zhao Yun will fall into this dug pit.


    After all, Zhao Yun is a famous general under the Hussars. He travels across the desert and defecated in the Xianbei royal court twice. Every time he thinks of this, Kirby is very moved...well, excited...


    ?This is also the reason why Kirby can clearly know that seducing Zhao Yun will naturally cause greater losses than ambushing him, but he is still willing to play this role. After all, Kirby can prove to his tribe that he is not a coward who shrinks back, but is still the brave hero who roams the grasslands and deserts.


    Even if it is a temptation, Kirby will try his best to minimize losses. He has thought about it a lot and arranged his troops so that he will not immediately lose the upper hand when fighting and still have enough space to do it. Some action.


    In the shelter of the woods in the distance, Cao Chun stood under a tree with several guards. Although his face was still calm, some complex emotions were revealed in many of his eyes.


    ?Ever since he was severely humiliated by Zhao Yun in Yuyang last time, Cao Chun has been holding his breath...


    ??The key point is that idiot Xia Houyuan. I don’t know if he is really an idiot, or in order to reduce his own responsibility, he actually said that Cao Chun was also responsible for the last battle of Yuyang and had problems! Doesn''t Xiahou Yuan not know that in front of outsiders, whether it is Cao''s problem or Xiahou''s problem, the result is the same? !


    ?What’s the use of just shirk- ing one’s own problems? !


    In the Battle of Heluo, Cao Jun did not find any advantages, and in the Battle of Jingxiang, Cao Jun felt a little frightened when he heard about the hussars and horses.


    ??Although Cao Chun is unwilling to talk about his pride or show it on his face, in his heart, he still has a kind of pride that he truly achieves meritorious service by fighting again and again on the battlefield.


    ??Cao Chun believes that a real general is like a sword. It can only become incomparably sharp after continuous sharpening on the battlefield, and Zhao Yun is a whetstone large enough to sharpen himself.


    ?But now my hand is sore holding the knife, and the whetstone is still on the road.


    What to eat by express delivery...


    ??Eh, I got involved.


    Just when the two of them were unable to hide their inner anxiety and tended to expose it, a scout finally came running with smoke and dust in the distance...
