Liu Xie silently blessed Xun Yu a few words, let go of his thoughts, and picked up the book again.

Chapter 253

When Yang Biao opened the tent and entered, Situ Zhao Wen raised his head in surprise, and quickly hid a small jug in his sleeve.

Yang Biao glanced at him, couldn't help laughing, and raised the small flagon in his hand.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter to you."

Zhao Wen smiled to himself, and took out the small flagon. "Unexpectedly, there is such wine in Hedong, haha."

Yang Biao took his seat, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and spread it in front of Zhao Wen. "If I were not like you, I would definitely share something good. Here, the wild animal hunted by the servant of Huben gave my son Dezu a rabbit's leg."

Surprised and delighted, Zhao Wen put down the small flagon, rolled up his sleeves, reached out and tore off a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing.

The Pei family also prepares meat for dinner, but the quantity is too small, it only has a symbolic meaning, and it doesn't satisfy the gluttony.

Even if the Pei family has small assets, it is still difficult to supply tens of thousands of troops.Maybe Pei Mao also felt embarrassed, and secretly gave some special products to the ministers afterwards, and the small jug in their hands was one of them.

"Wen Xian, you have a good son." Zhao Wen said while eating, "It's not easy to get to know Huben's servants well."

"Why is it difficult?" Yang Biao disagreed. "Treat each other calmly, don't bully others with power, don't answer stories in vain, that's all."

Zhao Wen looked at Yang Biao and reached out to grab the whole rabbit leg. "Since that's the case, then this rabbit leg is mine. You can ask for it tomorrow."

"You..." Yang Biao knocked on the case angrily, and said repeatedly: "It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman. Don't you know that a gentleman is always poor... Sigh, don't take it all by yourself, share it with me."

Zhao Wen laughed and pointed at Yang Biao with his rabbit's leg. "False, false, how dare you call yourself a gentleman."

The two veterans, who together were over a hundred years old, chattered and laughed together.

"What are you talking about?" Sikong and Zhang Xi pushed the tent and entered, saw the rabbit meat in Zhao Wen's hand at a glance, and immediately became furious. "Okay, Zhao Zirou, Yang Wenxian, don't call me if you have meat to eat."

"I dare not call you." Zhao Wen handed over the few remaining rabbit legs. "You Kanto people are all modest and gentlemen, unlike us Kansai people and Bashu people, who have not been cured of their wildness, and are no different from barbarians."

Zhang Xi glared at Zhao Wen, took the free leg, carefully tore off a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and nodded repeatedly.

"Fragrant, fragrant." He sighed again and shook his head. "How do you know a sage without Chen Cai? I was able to abide by the etiquette and righteousness before, not because I could be poor, but because I had no choice. Now the situation has eased, this greedy heart is like a wine worm in the throat, no Stop and run outside."

Zhao Wen and Yang Biao also sighed.

Zhang Xi's words reached their hearts.

Accompanied by the driver for several years, the suffering is real, and the danger is also really dangerous, but everyone can hold on to the festival with one breath, and few people complain of suffering or tiredness.Now that the situation has eased and I can eat enough, I feel that the emperor is a bit harsh.

When the emperor had money and food, he rewarded soldiers instead of ministers first, which made many people dissatisfied.

Although no one said it out loud, the resentment in my heart could be felt.

Zhang Xi was also a man of etiquette, and would only complain a few words in front of them.

"Yeah, none of us can be saints." Zhao Wen raised his little finger and picked his teeth. "But the Son of Heaven can."

Yang Biao and Zhang Xi looked at Zhao Wen at the same time. "Zirou, why do you say that?"

"When you and I were fifteen or sixteen years old, could we have the mind and bearing of the emperor?" Zhao Wen glanced at Yang Biao and Zhang Xi. "It's not easy for a male to fly, but it's even more difficult for a female to lie down. You should have heard your father and brother say that the first emperor was at that time, right? Do you have this kind of tolerance?"

Yang Biao and Zhang Xi glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

During the Xiping period, Yang Ci, Yang Biao's father, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xi's elder brother, and Liu Kuan, the Taiwei, taught the late emperor who was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time.The first emperor was a very intelligent man, but lacked in mind and bearing, and lacked his own opinions, so he was easily irritated.

The later disaster of party imprisonment was caused by the eunuch Cao Jie's induction of the late emperor.

If the first emperor was in today's situation, Shi Sunrui could not escape the disaster of killing himself, and the people of Hedong would also be killed until blood flowed into rivers. It is really hard to say what will happen in the end.

In contrast, the Son of Heaven is so stable that he doesn't look like a human being, at least not like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

"God bless the man." Yang Biao raised the small flagon in his hand.

"God bless the man." Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi also raised the small wine pot, touched Yang Biao lightly, took a sip of the wine together, and smiled at each other.

The three expressed their emotions for a while, and then talked about recruiting Bai Bojun.

The edict issued by the Son of Heaven was aimed at the Baibo Army.

Ordinary people may not be willing to join the army, they can live a decent life, there is no need to join the army.The Son of Heaven used Zhao Qing and his son as an example to call on the people to donate food, but in the end there were only a thousand households, which was far from reaching the expected goal.

But the Baibo army will welcome this edict very much.

If they can settle down in the mountains, have more fertile land, and don't have to hide in the mountains, their lives will be significantly improved.

As for joining the army to fight, they were not idle at all.

"Wen Xian, tell me, will the emperor implement this policy in the future?" Zhang Xi asked casually after taking a sip of his wine.

Yang Biao looked at Zhang Xi, the corners of his mouth curled slightly. "You are worried about your family's thousand acres of fertile land."

"Aren't you worried?" Zhang Xi retorted.

"My family doesn't have that much land." Yang Biao said lightly.

Zhang Xi hesitated to speak, his face was a little uneasy.

Although the Yang family of Hongnong is the fourth generation and third father, it is not the same as the other fourth generation and third father.Yang abides by virtue, does not pursue advantages and avoids disadvantages, is neither greedy for money nor interested in buying land, and does not even accept gifts other than salary.

Yang Zhen refused the money in the dark room, leaving behind a good story.Although the descendants of later generations may not be able to do so, generally speaking, they do not lose the name of innocence.

In contrast, Mrs. Zhang is a bit vulgar.

"Don't worry, even if the world is to be pacified, the Son of Heaven will not need a million soldiers." Yang Biao breathed a sigh of relief, so as not to quarrel with Zhang Xi. "As long as it is cool and Guanzhong is stable, it is unlikely to implement military settlements in the Kanto."

Zhao Wen agreed and added another sentence. "As long as the Kwantung scholar-bureaucrats can sympathize with the emperor's wishes, and don't be greedy, make people unable to make a living, and cause the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

Just as Zhang Xi's face softened a little, he became angry from embarrassment at Zhao Wen's words.

"What do you mean? Could it be that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was forced out by my Kwantung scholar-bureaucrats?"

Yang Biao and Zhao Wen lowered their eyelids tacitly, pretending not to hear.

Zhang Xi also felt bored, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.After walking halfway, he turned back and snatched the remaining rabbit legs from the case.

"This Zhang Jili..." Yang Biao was speechless.

"Forget it, forget it." Zhao Wen persuaded: "He doesn't have any other bad habits, he just likes to drink a few sips. There is wine but no meat, it is really dull."

"Smelly problem." Yang Biao said resentfully: "It's just such a rabbit leg, he took it away, what should we do?"

"Let's serve wine with "Tai Shi Gong Shu." Zhao Wen raised his eyebrows, turned around and took out a volume of books, and put them on the table. "I heard that the emperor is reading "Tai Shi Gong Shu" recently. Guess what the emperor read from "Tai Shi Gong Shu"?"

Yang Biao dismissed it. "I still need to read it? Between heaven and man, changes between ancient and modern times. Which one do you want to hear, I will recite it to you."

Chapter 254

"What's the use of dead endorsement?" Zhao Wen raised the corner of his mouth. "Since you are so familiar, then tell me, what is the time between heaven and man, the changes between the past and the present?"

Yang Biao's eyes showed a bit of surprise. "Could it be that you realized it?"

Zhao Wen smiled smugly. "Even if it doesn't hit, it's not far away."

Yang Biao immediately became interested. "tell me the story."

Zhao Wen hooked his fingers. "Bring it."

Yang Biao looked blank, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Zhao Wen suddenly reached out, grabbed Yang Biao's sleeve, took out a cloth bag from it, and sneered.

"You can hide it from Zhang Jili, and you can hide it from me?"

Yang Biao clapped his palms and laughed, laughed twice, then covered his mouth and stopped. "Don't make any noise, and if you attract him again, we won't be happy."

The two looked at each other and snickered, with childlike complacency in their gray eyebrows.

Although they are colleagues, the two of them can talk a little better, and they often don't talk to Zhang Xi.

"Tell me, what do you think." Yang Biao urged.

"Why is Master called holy?" Zhao Wen asked.

Yang Biao thought for a while, and quoted a sentence that the emperor said not long ago. "Set up a heart for the heaven and the earth, and continue the sage's unique knowledge."

Zhao Wen nodded. "Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that the master taught without discrimination, taught 72 sages, and had three thousand disciples, how could he be as gloomy and literary as he is today? Your Majesty wants to make all the people in the world able to read, just follow the stories of the sages and go a step further."

Yang Biao frowned slightly. "is it possible?"

"Why didn't Wen Xian first ask whether it is appropriate or not?" Zhao Wen asked back: "Or, Wen Xian thinks that ordinary people are born stupid and should not be taught."

Yang Biao glared at Zhao Wen. "I, the professors of the Yang family, have hundreds of times more disciples than your Zhao family."

Zhao Wen smiled instead of anger. "Even if it is a hundred times larger, how many people can there be? At the peak of the Han Dynasty, there were tens of millions of households and 6000 million people. What percentage of people have read the book?"

Yang Biao let out a sigh of relief. "It's good that everyone can read, but it's also a lot of trouble. Zirou, you are Situ. It's already a headache, if everyone reads..."

Yang Biao shook his head, not daring to continue.

Zhao Wen stared at Yang Biao, and said unhurriedly: "Wen Xian, Zichan will not destroy the township school, but are you worried about the officials discussing politics?"

Yang Biao frowned.

Zhao Wen is not a pedantic person. He said these things not for the sake of eloquence, but for thinking.

In all fairness, although his reason is very realistic, it does not conform to the philosophy of Confucianism.

In other words, this is the dilemma faced by Confucianism. If it is not resolved, the dominant position of Confucianism will inevitably be shaken.

At that time, the result of the emperor's promotion of the king's way is not to revitalize Confucianism, but to destroy Confucianism.

This is a situation that no Confucian disciple wants to see.

Either change to adapt to the new situation.

or die.

As a veteran, as a Confucian disciple, he is duty-bound.

But he couldn't see a way out.

-

Cai Yan stood outside the door with sweat on his hands.

She has been here three times, but she still has no courage to go in.

This was originally a very natural thing.

All the Lang officials around the emperor knew her, and she didn't need to ask to see her, she could just walk in, and no one would stop her.

But this time is different.

The words of Queen Fushou and Hongnong Wang's wife Tang Ji echoed in her ears, making her flustered and at a loss.

She didn't know what the outcome would be.

It was something she had never imagined to recommend herself as a pillow seat, even if the other party was the supreme being in the world.

The Chen Liucai family passed on their poems and books to their families, so they don't need to seek wealth in that way.

Or... Forget it, it's fine now, why bother to humiliate yourself.

Just when Cai Yan was timid and was about to slip away quietly, the emperor suddenly walked out of the room.

"Ling Shi, what's the matter?" Liu Xie said in surprise.

He remembered that Cai Yan was not on duty today.

"Uh..." Cai Yan was tongue-tied, looked down at the cover-up document in his arms, and said hastily, "Chen...Chen come to read."

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan suspiciously.He could feel Cai Yan's panic, but he didn't know the reason.

Do you have something to say?

"I just have something to ask you." Although Liu Xie was a little annoyed, he beckoned Cai Yan to come closer.

What annoys him the most is that people around him take advantage of their position to speak for others and take advantage of it, although he knows that this kind of thing cannot be avoided.

Cai Yan was not such a person before, but who knows if she will change.

This time she took the initiative to ask Suizheng, which was a bit surprising.

Although Cai Yan grew up with Cai Yong in northern Xinjiang, he adapted to the climate of northern Xinjiang and understood the customs and customs of northern Xinjiang, but this time he was going out to fight, not to stay, and the degree of hardship can be imagined.

Originally, he didn't intend to take Cai Yan with him, but Cai Yan offered to ask, so he had no choice but to comply.

If she speaks for others for the sake of convenience, it would be too embarrassing.
