Chapter 173 Class Contradiction
"Miss, Xu Fu offended me!" After Xu Fu said that, he gently pressed a few fingers on Shui Qingru's wrist, and his face quickly calmed down and became serious.
Xu Fu's movements did not seem to be much different from the Chinese medicine practitioners in later generations, but the pressure movements and strength were significantly greater. Xu Fu's face was sometimes steady and sometimes surprised. After five or six minutes, he let go of his hand and was silent for a long time before he said: "The floating pulse is unstable, the central pulse is strong, and the deep pulse is steady. It should be because the meridians are damaged and internal organs, and the deficiency of blood and anxiety, so the qi and blood are a little confused, but from the perspective of the pulse, it is not a big problem. I will prepare some internal medicine and take medicine carefully for more than a month to recover!"
"That's good, that's good!" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, gently held Shui Qingru's hand and said, "Don't worry, the doctor said it would be fine if he had a good rest and recuperate for two months. Why are he fighting with someone? He vomited blood, don't do this in the future!"
"Chen Lang, Qingrou accidentally let the thief steal the book and chase and fight with him. However, the thief is very powerful in swordsmanship. He fought ten times. Although Qingrou stabbed him six times, he was unable to achieve his strength in the end. After being injured by the thief, he watched him escape. Qingrou was useless. He did not protect the gifts given by Chen Lang, and he was also afraid that Chen Lang would bring disaster to Chen Lang. Qingrou was very frightened and uneasy. I hope Chen Lang forgives his crime!" Shui Qingrou sat up, and looked very lonely and uneasy when he spoke.
"That's it!" Chen Xu opened his mouth wide.
"Well, that book Qingrou wrote the story of the Legend of the White Snake, which is to go downstairs to get water and wash, but you don't prevent the thief from taking the opportunity to break into the room and stealing it!" Shui Qingrou was extremely nervous, with big eyes looking at Chen Xu with anticipation, and there were still tears at the corners of her eyes that had not dried. Her pear blossoms looked charming with rain.
This is also worth fighting for the hard work?
And he poked someone six swords.
Chen Xu muttered in his heart, but he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At the same time, he was inexplicably moved by Shui's gentle behavior. He gently held Shui's gentle hand and said, "Don't work so hard in the future. Just steal it. I made a lot of books for you, enough for you to write for several years. I originally wanted to take some time to send it to you, but I have never had time. This time you came, and I'll be recuperating here for the time being. I'll make delicious food for you every day to take care of you! Come on, lie down and rest, don't think about it, I'll pour you water, and I'll make some chicken soup for you later!"
Chen Xu took a big reed pillow, held the water and leaned it gently on the head of the bed, then took out a white linen sheet from the wooden cabinet next to her and covered her body, then turned around and went out to pour water.
Chen Xu knew that Shui Qingrou could be good at martial arts. Although the two had only been in contact for a few days, she could tell from her walking and riding a horse that she was very quick and moved. Almost like Yu Wuya, she didn't have much noise when walking. But he definitely didn't expect Shui Qingrou to be so powerful. A girl of sixteen or seventeen years old actually poked the thief's six swords in one breath. In this era, she was stabbed with six swords. Thinking about the thief with her butt, the thief probably almost died. Moreover, the thief could still hurt Shui Qingrou when she was seriously injured. It seemed that she was not an ordinary thief. As soon as Zhao Qing left, Shui Qingrou came with injuries. It seemed that she should be careful in the future.
Water leaned gently on the soft pillow, wiped away her tears, and gradually calmed down her mood. She looked at everything in the room, especially the sheets with a few small seal scripts written in black ink, which made her unable to help but cover her mouth and her eyebrows were curved.
These strange things must have been invented by Chen Lang. The pillow is much more comfortable than the hard bamboo and wood pillow.
After a while, Chen Xu came in with a water cup, and there were two eleven or twelve-year-old girls following him. They were black and thin but had a good complexion. They were also wearing white coats similar to those worn by nurses and doctors in later hospitals, and had a white hat on their heads, but they looked a little nervous.
"This big sister is the patient you need to take care of. Take care of her carefully and carefully. After a while, the medicine will be boiled, you will bring it over!"
"Yes, Lord Lidian!" The two little girls quickly saluted.
"You are a patient now. Don't get up. Lie down. I'll get you some food!" Chen Xu smiled and handed the water to Shui Gingrou. After giving the two girls a few more instructions, he was about to go out when he saw a beautiful woman in a green dress walking in from outside, looking around, her face full of surprise.
"Chen Lang, this is Qingrou's playmate and sister Gongsun Beiyan when she was young, and is a descendant of Gongsun Yan, the prime minister of the country!" Shui Qingrou quickly sat up and said.
"Gongsun Yan? Prime Minister?"
Chen Xu was stunned for a long time and didn't remember where the prime minister from Qin was named Gongsun Yan, but he seemed to have heard of the name Gongsun Yan.
Looking at Chen Xu's confused expression, the woman in blue looked calm. Her eyes looked at Chen Xu up and down a few times, and slowly walked to the bed with a little contemptuous look on her face and said, "My ancestor Yan Gong was a great master of the Former Qin State. She led the Qin army to attack Wei State to capture Hexi. Later, she advocated reconciliation between Qin and Wei, but Zhang Yi was interfered with by the Qin King. Yan Gong had no choice but to join the State of Wei State and proposed the strategy of combining the three kings of Han, Chu and Wei State to join forces to deal with Zhao State. Later, he was destroyed by Zhang Yi using Lianheng technique. Later, Yan Gong used the technique of combining the art of Tongzong again to make
The five countries of Wei, Han, Zhao, Yan, and Zhongshan recognized the throne with each other. This was the act of the prime minister of the five countries. Therefore, the five countries united to fight against Qin. However, they were then destroyed by Qi, Chu and Qin. The strategy of the prime minister of the five countries was ruined. Later, Zhang Yi gradually encountered the suspicion of the Qin king and drove out Qin. Zhang Yi fled to Wei and was appointed as prime minister. He used the strategy of Lianheng to defeat Qin. Yan Gong took the opportunity to propose the strategy of coalition again. Under the oppression of Qi and Chu, Zhang Yi was dismissed from the position of prime minister by Wei, and Yan Gong became the prime minister of Wei..."
Gongsun Beiyan has a very good eloquence, perhaps because his ancestor Gongsun Yan's great achievements are indeed commendable. After slowly telling it, he clearly explained the glorious experience of Gongsun Yan's life, and Chen Xu finally outlined the general identity of this character who is not inferior to Zhang Yi, who is in his mind.
"Laterors all said that Zhang Yi, the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms, was his junior brother Su Qin, but he didn't know that my grandfather was his biggest opponent in his life. The technique of joining the Zong and joining the two of them to the fullest. Yan Gong also successively seized the seal of the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Han, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao and Wei, and joined forces with the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Han, Yan, Zhao and Wei to attack the powerful Qin. Although it was not successful, it also made the countries in the world fearful and respected them!"
After saying that, Gongsun Beiyan turned to look at Chen Xu: "After anger, the princes were afraid, and the world was extinguished. Yan Gong worked tirelessly to seek things up and down just to destroy Qin. Although he was defeated, he was still honored, and he was worthy of his reputation for his eternal fame. Although my Gongsun Beiyan was a woman, he also had the ambition of his ancestors. You are a young man in the mountains and fields, and it is not strange that the glorious past of my Gongsun family is not an unknown person!"
Chen Xu couldn't help but twitch his face a few times, thinking that I wouldn't blame him, but you were so stupid and a little bit stupid about the six countries' attack on Qin. Now it's the world of Qin. Qin Shihuang and Qin hate the most are the old and young people of the six countries. If these words are made public, I'm afraid that your Gongsun clan will destroy the three tribes from top to bottom, and even after death, you will be buried under the Mausoleum of Mount Li and rammed with stones and rammed five or six or seven or eight times, and then use the Zhuxian Formation, the Liangyi Formation, the Three Talent Formation, the Four Gate Eight Trigrams Formation, and the Nine District Yellow River Formation forever suppressing and reincarnation.
Moreover, Chen Xu probably remembered who Gongsun Yan was at this time. There was indeed such an awesome person in history, but he was not as famous as Zhang Yi.
In Chinese history, the Qin and Han dynasties and the Three Kingdoms periods were the most famous times. It is not an exaggeration to say that strategists gathered in powerful generals. Especially during the Qin and Han dynasties, various theories of various schools of thought flourished and prosperous. The seven heroes of the Warring States Period fought one after another. Under the manipulation of a large number of strategists and military strategists, the art of joining the road was fully utilized. The seven major powers and several surrounding small countries reconciled today and tomorrow and then broke up with each other for hundreds of years. Then the seven countries became stronger and stronger, but the surrounding small countries all burped.
What Chen Xu couldn't understand the most was that whether it was Zhang Yi, Su Qin or Gongsun Yan, he could be the prime ministers of many countries at the same time, which was unique in China's history or in the world's history.
But it is precisely this mutually recognized culture and environment that enables China to eventually become a unified centralized country, because whether in terms of culture, habits or traditions, the Central Plains countries are a cultural heritage of one. Just like the later Three Kingdoms, long-term separation will lead to unity, and long-term harmony will lead to division, just a matter of time.
However, now the Qin Dynasty unified the world and the six kingdoms were united. Besides, even the alliance between them was just a joke.
What's more, a hero does not mention his courage back then.
Moreover, Gongsun Yan himself was a second-hand man. If he had not been bribed by the King of Wei when he was a great master in Qin, but instead supported Qin, perhaps Qin would have unified the six countries decades ago.
From this point of view, Gongsun Yan's subsequent actions were all due to his anger towards Qin, so he was determined to kill Qin and regain his face. Unfortunately, the other six countries were not in tune with each other and were too scumbag. In addition, his opponent Zhang Yi was even more awesome than him. When he saw that he turned into a move, Gongsun Yan was a little worse, so he could only lose with hatred.
But no matter what, Gongsun Yan's awesomeness is not something that a small mountain boy like Chen Xu can argue with, so it is reasonable for Gongsun Beiyan to look down on Chen Xu, and she also concluded that a small mountain village like Chen Xu did not know the glorious history of her Gongsun family.
Although all the six kingdoms are destroyed now, in the eyes of the nobles of the six kingdoms, ordinary civilians and pawns cannot be compared. They are not of the same level at all. They are all dogs and pigs. No name or surname is not worthy of respect.
This is not just one or two people thinking like this, but almost all nobles think that the people are untouchables and husbands are fools. They can only be used to do so, not to know them. Otherwise, there would be no beginning when Jiang Chuyue first saw Chen Xu and others in Qinghe Town, he would intend to use a whip to open the way. Then when he heard Jiang Beiting praise Chen Xu, he was very dissatisfied and disdainful when he heard Jiang Beiting praise him.
In the eyes of the nobles, the ragged, black and thin mountain village man was actually about the same level as the monkeys on the mountain. He could be beaten and scolded. If he dared to resist, he would be disobedient. If he was placed in the slave society of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there would be no trouble if he killed it with one knife. However, after King Ping of Zhou moved east, the king's power fell, the princes rose, and then entered a chaotic period of fighting among hundreds of countries. As a result, the rituals and music were broken, the slave system began to collapse and entered the era of feudal separatism. The status of the common people began to gradually improve. In addition, a large number of small vassal states were destroyed, and a large number of Eastern Zhou nobles became common people. The names of the people gradually became synonyms for ordinary people.
The people who call the common people are the families left behind by the princes who were enfeoffed after the Zhou emperor destroyed the Shang Dynasty with their fiefs as their clans. These clans originated from the thirteen surnames in the Xia and Shang dynasties and even earlier. These surnames and clans were nobles. The remaining common people and common people, slaves, had no surnames and clans, and only had names. However, with the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the eight hundred years, countless nobles became slaves or even civilians, and then intermarried with each other, and surnames gradually became popular.
"Lüshi Chunqiu" records that the Zhou Dynasty claimed to have four hundred kingdoms and eight hundred fus countries, all with surnames. However, in fact, the only princes of the seventy-one countries were originally granted, all of which were royal family members, heroes and nobles. According to the level of the five-level titles of Duke, Marquis, Bozinan, and Bozinan, they divided the land into kings. In addition, the Dian, Cai, Wei, and Dafu, which had the titles lower than these fifth-level titles, all had subordinate fiefs of different sizes. In addition, the Zhou Dynasty continued to expand from all directions, and more and more vassal states were granted, and more surnames were also increased. By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the thirteen ancient surnames had gradually evolved into more than two hundred surnames, and basically all the surnames in later generations had been established.
The Central Plains region is the birthplace of Chinese civilization. Later, the four provinces of Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Shandong built the core area of the Great Zhou royal court along the Yellow River Basin as the center. There were dozens of vassal states in Henan alone, among which the marquis-level feudal states include Guanguo, Cai, Chen, Qi, etc. As for the marquis-level feudal states, there were densely packed feudal states lower than the marquis, almost every county in Henan in the future had a kingdom or vassal state.
Therefore, after eight hundred years of Great Zhou, by the time of the Qin Dynasty, surnames were already very common in the Central Plains, and it was normal for ordinary people to have names and surnames. However, because they were not educated and illiterate, they were very simple and casual, and they would take whatever they saw when they were born, or they would simply grow up to the time when they were naturalized. They would write a single person and issue an identity card and make sure that the poor women usually don’t have names.
Therefore, during the Qin Dynasty, it was not as some people said that most people in the Qin Dynasty had no surnames or clans.
Especially the core area of the Central Plains, such as Henan, which was a place where four battles were in the four battles, Henan has been the name of the Central Plains since ancient times, and was called Zhongzhou in ancient times. Since the Xia Dynasty, the capital of the royal capital has been successively established in Yangcheng (Zhengzhou), Yinhui (Luoyang), Shangqiu, Diqiu (Puyang), etc. When the Shang Dynasty, the capital of the vassal states was successively established in Bo (Shangqiu), Xiao (Zhengzhou), Yin (Anyang Yinxu), Chaoge (Hebi), etc. When the Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was once again established in Luoyang. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the capitals of the major vassal states such as Song, Chen, Wei, Guan, Zheng, Xu, Ying, Cai, Wei, Han were also in Henan.
Not only that, Henan has had the saying that "more than half of the world's celebrities are in the country" since ancient times. Not only Shang Tang was born in Shangqiu, but Laozi, Zhuangzi, Mozi, and Han Feizi, among the seven sons of the pre-Qin period, all came from Henan. Fan Li, Shang Yang, Su Qin, Lu Buwei and Li Si, the left prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, were also from Henan. Therefore, Henan is a top priority that can never be avoided for Chinese history and is the core area of the development of Chinese civilization.
After more than two thousand years of cultural integration and development in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, coupled with the continuous fighting of the vassal states in the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the population escaped and migrated slowly during the war. People with names and surnames have long been commonplace in Henan. If there is a genealogy trace, maybe every family is descended from princes and nobles, and every household has a well-known ancestor.
Of course, there were many cases of no surnames and no clans during the Qin Dynasty, but the Yellow River Basin and the Central Plains region, as the most prosperous areas in China, are far from being remote areas such as the Southern Barbarians and Northern Hu, and Eastern Yi and Western Di.
For example, the Chu State, which was once the most powerful during the Warring States Period, was only a viscount fief. The king of the country, Yuxiong and Mi, were only the teacher of King Wu of Zhou. He was hardworking in the Wang family, so he was enfeoffed in the Jingman land. From the name of Jingman, we can see that at that time, the area of Jingzhou in Hubei was called barbaric. The King of the Great Zhou Dynasty looked down upon. It was not too high to use the title of title to give titles to the heroes who were not too great to be rewarded. However, the surname Mi was more determined and forced to conquer a Warring States overlord in the Southern Barbarians, opening up a large piece of territory for China, and also left a large amount of civilization heritage for later generations, such as the tomb of Zeng Houyi, the Qin Slips of Shuihudi, the Qinghua Slips, etc. These things became the most direct carrier for later generations to understand Chinese history and culture before the Qin Dynasty.
However, with the continuous war integration and annexation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty has now unified the world, and the hundreds of vassal states enfeoffed by the King of Zhou have disappeared. All the princes and nobles can remember and recall only the surnames left by the ancestors.
The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are there, and the bright moon shines on people today.
In addition to the Zhao family of Ying and the nobles of the Qin Dynasty, the nobles of the hundred kings and grandchildren also became ordinary common people, and there was no distinction between high and low, and the people gradually became synonyms of ordinary people.
Even so, the aristocrats who fell in the early days were naturally incomparable to the aristocrats left over from the six countries now, and they still looked down upon them. Therefore, Jiang Chuyue looked down upon Chen Xu in front, and now there is another descendant of Gongsun Yan looking down upon him. Even when Shui Qingrou first saw Chen Xu, it was the same.
This has nothing to do with human character and quality. It is entirely because of the natural inequality brought about by the bloodline and class status of the nobles. It is a kind of aristocratic pride inherited from the bones.
Neither Jiang Chuyue nor Gongsun Beiyan were in the officialdom, nor were they even considered adults. In terms of mind, they were not fully mature and had no thoughts or ideas to govern the country. Just as later generations could not expect junior high school students to govern the country, they did not have too many concepts of equality in their hearts, and they had contact with aristocrats since childhood, and the servants and slaves who followed them all had very low status and were often called and scolded. Their politeness may only be for those with common identities. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is this arrogant and domineering appearance. In fact, this is their true face.
In a nutshell, the poor and the rich have been against you since ancient times, and the officials and the people have been against each other since ancient times. These are two completely different classes, which are the class contradictions mentioned in later generations.
