Chapter 21 The Show of Dihua

The fifth reunification of Longyou knew that it was in Gansu in later generations, but Wei Xiang...

He searched in his mind, and was empty, and he shook his head decisively: "I don't know!"

"Fifth Relationship, you don't even know the 'Six-county Good Job Wei Jimeng'."

Fan Zhu, who had just laughed at the shabby carriage and horses of the fifth reunion, patted his big belly and said breathlessly: "The Wei family has filled the large clan of Rong County (Tianshui). The family's family's child servants are no less than that of the marquis of Qiongcheng, and there are hundreds of good horses."

"Since Ji Meng was expelled from the national rank as a national sage, he came to Chang'an to take office, he often gave him a horse. His car was also a dragon horse. You are lucky and will be able to open your eyes later."

Wu Lun was not interested in horses, but he was a little lost when he heard the word "national teacher". However, before he could ask Wei Xiang in detail, everyone started shouting.

"Here, come!"

On the road in the distance, there were two riders leading the way, and there were vague figures of cars moving behind them. Everyone behind them stood on tiptoe, wanting to see how majestic horses in Longyou were.

The car was getting closer and closer, and the horse's fur color could be seen clearly, but King Yuan of Qiongcheng Hou and the others were stunned.

"Why isn't Wei Xiang riding the craft of Jun Sizhi?"

That's right? A yellow horse and a Hua-colored maroon horse came over with a simple decoration. When he got closer, he found that they were all ordinary mares! What about the eight-foot dragon horse that he had promised? Why is Wei Xiang so low-key when he was on a trip today?

According to the unwritten rules of this era, those who ride on the female will not be allowed to attend the meeting. Everyone remained silent for a moment, thinking that they had made a mistake.

But Wang Yuan and Wei Xiang were close friends, so of course they would not recognize their mistakes. They suppressed their doubts and went up to meet them. Only then did they find that Wei Xiang was wearing ordinary clothes and dressed in plain clothes today. They were even more surprised. This was not the Wei Jimeng who was wearing a furious horse in the past.

Wei Xiang's appearance is a typical Guanxi man. He is tall, with thick beard and chest, but his voice is very thin when he opens his mouth and speaks with a gentle and gentle manner.

This is not surprising. Although Wei Xiang was born into a powerful family, he gained fame for his proficiency in calligraphy and scriptures. He was expelled from the "national sage" by the national teacher of the Xin Dynasty and promoted to a lower-level doctor. Although his rank is not high, he has considerable real power as a confidant of the national teacher.

After seeing Wang Yuan, looking at the doubts on his face, Wei Xiang smiled bitterly: "Hui Meng, don't be surprised by my bicycle riding. This is the style of Chang'an. In a few days, the wind will blow to Liewei County!"

"Ji Meng, tell me, what happened to Chang'an?"

Wei Xiang and Wang Yuan held hands to reminisce about the past, and talked about the "Confucius's policies" that have been in the capital recently.

"Last month, Your Majesty issued an edict saying that Confucius was the first to serve as the priest of the Central Du, and that the throne would be the throne of health and death. The elders and young people would eat differently, the strengths and weaknesses would be different, and men and women would have different paths, and there would be no way to pick up the road, and the tools would not be fake, and they would be treated in three months."

"Today, the four barbarians have not yet subsided, and the extravagance is growing more and more, which violates the teachings of the saints. Your Majesty wanted to follow Confucius's policies to promote education. From the day before yesterday, he ordered that in addition to men and women on roads and toilets, the princes and literati and officials should follow etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and be accustomed to the four things of food, clothing, housing and transportation."

This edict has been sent to various counties, but there is no other movement except for rebuilding roads and toilets. Who would have thought that the emperor was serious!

Wang Yuan only felt ridiculous. For ten years, they had become accustomed to the thoughts of the emperor in the new room, so he whispered: "I'm afraid he will be guilty of drinking with the crowd and doing twenty-eight kinds of ancient coins, which is a whim of His Majesty."

Wei Xiang shook his head: "Otherwise, I heard that in Shoucheng Room (Weiyang Palace), from the queen to the palace maid, he started wearing short knee-blocking skirts again, and His Majesty's single clothes were patched, so he probably had to implement them seriously."

If you think about it carefully, their emperor is really someone who can do such a thing.

During the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, the five marquis of the Wang family were extravagant, corrupt, and were addicted to the sound of cars and horses all day long, which made the court chaotic.

The only alien in the family was Wang Mang. He was frugal at a young age, filial to his mother, took care of his sister-in-law and brothers, devoted himself to studying Confucian scriptures, and interacted with knowledgeable people. After becoming a marquis, he was not greedy for money, silk, real estate, salary, and rewarded carriages, horses, clothes and furs, all used to support guests and righteous men, and there was nothing left in the family.

After Wang Mang became the Grand General, one time his mother fell ill, and the princes and princes sent their wives to the Wang family to greet him. Wang Mang's wife, the current queen, went out to greet her. She was wearing a short skirt, without undressing the ground, and her cloth was not covered with her knees. The ladies thought she was a slave, and they were shocked until they showed their identity.

As for later becoming An Hangong, taking the emperor and real emperor, whenever the world was in trouble, Wang Mang would sigh and bring his ministers and officials to eat vegetarian food together. It was even more common. Wang Yuan had two meals with him, and when he got home, he would replenish big fish and meat.

Now what Confucius's Zhongdu policy is just a replay of the old tune. Wang Yuan was stunned when he heard it, but he still felt it had nothing to do with him. He just cursed: "Ji Mengzi can follow Chang'an. He came to the banquet at my invitation. There was no Wuweisi ordered someone to send someone to monitor him. Why do you have to do this? Change it quickly!"

"Not allowed."

Wei Xiang flicked his clothes and hats: "When I left the city, I happened to meet Tang Zun of Yuyu (Shuiheng Duwei). Tang Zun was most concerned about this matter. He would do whatever His Majesty said. He wore a short coat and a small sleeve, rode a mare and a firewood cart, slept on the draft, used pottery at home, and used earthen cauldrons to entertain guests."

"He asked me where I was going, and I said I would come to your house for the Double Ninth Festival. Tang Zun gave a serious advice, saying that Confucius's policies should not be limited to Chang'an, but should also be spread to various counties. As a junior doctor, I should take my own life as a rule. When I arrived at Liewei County, I should also be as simple as I was in Chang'an, so that the local literati scholars and officials would compete to follow suit."

After Wei Xiang finished speaking, he patted Wang Yuan and said, "Hui Meng, you will soon have such a day. These extravagant Chinese cars will be hidden for a few days. Wait until the gust of wind blows first. Liewei is too close to the capital, and Wuweishishi will keep staring at it."

After saying that, Wei Xiang raised his head and restored the majesty of the Beijing officials. He repeated the words just now to everyone who went out to greet them, and only put away those disapproving of the matter.

Finally, he asked half-jokingly: "Marquis of Qiongcheng, is there anyone who is riding a horse that is not Junsi today?"

Wang Yuan didn't know. Looking at Jiacheng, Jiacheng was already stupid and could only report: "There are two."

The guests also made way out at the right time, revealing Jing Dan and the fifth reunion standing in the corner.

Fan Zhu, who was still mocking the simple carriage and horses, was stunned at this time. He knew that Jing Dan was a literary officer, responsible for the education in the county, and a close confidant of the county magistrate. Could it be that he had known about this?

Everyone thought so, and their eyes looked at Jing Dan were envious and resentful.

What I envy is that with what happened today, Jing Dan might be remembered by Wei Xiang, the Beijing official, and his reputation was uploaded to the national teacher.

The complaint is that I feel that Jing Sunqing is a colleague who is useless and doesn't even tell them about this, but quietly performs it by himself. He is really a guy who uses any means to gain fame and is deeply thoughtful! Bah!

Jing Dan was confused, and turned his head to look at the fifth reunion, and was surprised: "Bei Yu divided the toilet between men and women in the fifth li, which coincided with the emperor's intention."

"Now Chang'an has promoted the simple style and has not yet asked the county to follow suit. Even I, a literary lieutenant, have no idea. But Boyu took the lead again. It would be a coincidence that he drove a bad car and a weak horse, right?"

Others looked at Jing Dan, and Jing Dan also looked at the fifth reunion next to him, thinking that this person was not simple.

Wei Xiang was originally a joke to scare everyone, but he didn't expect it to happen. He was surprised and could only laugh: "Great charity, all the ruthless and wise men, all the ruthless and wise men should think about it."

"Abide by the doctor's words, we will definitely follow the virtuous and follow the virtuous! We will follow the virtuous and follow the virtuous and follow the virtuous!"

Everyone had to agree and dared not say a word of mockery and contempt.

Wei Xiang asked Wang Yuan to recommend the two, and Jing Dan immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Jing Dan, the county literary clerk, has met Doctor Wei."

"Jing Family? Is your hometown in Shiwei County?"

"It's from Shiting County."

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "Who is the Grand Tutor Xi Zhongjing Shang you?"

"I am the brother of the lower clan."

Wei Xiang nodded and looked at the fifth reunion again. He felt that this boy was so young. When he heard his name in the newspaper, he was immediately happy: "Is it the 'Rang Li'er'?"

"Oh, Ji Meng actually knows the little famous scholars in this county?"

Wang Yuan then remembered that he had indeed invited the Fifth Reunion to the banquet. He was ashamed and quickly pretended to be familiar with him to cover up his embarrassment: "The reputation of his wise men who gave in has spread throughout the county, and now it has spread to Chang'an?"

Wei Xiang didn't know what the two words were, so he just said: "Sometimes ago, I reported to the government in front of the national master. It happened that Liu Gong, the nephew of the national master, returned to the capital from Liewei County to report his orders. He talked about the fact that the fifth reunion dropped out of school and gave up the pear, and the national master praised him..."

"There are few virtuous things!"

Hiss! As soon as this statement came out, from Wang Yuan to all the guests, they all looked at the fifth reunion. Who is the national master? He is one of the four assistants of the new dynasty, His Majesty the emperor's closest friend. Now the reputation of the fifth reunion can be considered to be directly reached in the court.

Unexpectedly, the fifth reunion was not happy, and instead felt a little anxious.

Last month, when he asked Liu Gong to study in front of Huan Tan, he did not know the name of the national teacher.

But now it's different.

A few days ago, when Di Si Xian went to Lizhong again, Di Wulun thought that the merchants were traveling to various counties, and had a lot of knowledge and should know many people, so he asked him something casually.

"By the way, have you heard of a person named 'Liu Xiu'?"

“Which show?”

Of course it is the show of the show of the flower.

The fifth reunification wrote the word to No. 4 Xian. He thought it would not be so smooth, but unexpectedly, No. 4 Xian immediately gave him the answer.

"How can you not know?"

"Liu Xiu is the national master, and the national master is called Liu Xiu!"

Wu Lun sprayed out the soup from his mouth on the spot. It had been many days since the incident, and he had not recovered until now.

He didn't understand history very much, and just thought, didn't Liu Xiu overthrow the Xin Dynasty and established the Eastern Han Dynasty? Why did he become Wang Mang's friend and the Xin Dynasty national teacher? He came to a parallel world himself? There must be something strange about this!

At this moment, I didn't bother to think about that matter anymore. After Wei Xiang said that the national teacher Liu Xiu praised him, the fifth replies had to respond and not stand stupidly.

He just lowered his head and said with a look of flattery:

"The master of the country knows that there is a fifth relationship in the world?"
