The fifth repent regretted this sentence as soon as he said, but he forgot Jing Dan's identity. Fortunately, he had not said it even more overdoing.

"How can we make those who are happy?"

Jing Dan did not think it was offended and said pessimisticly: "By relying on Chang'an City, a decree from the emperor's decree? You have also seen it today. Whether it is the crime of drinking in groups or the so-called Confucius's policies, they are all empty words and no one takes them seriously."

"Actually, as early as the first year of the founding country (9th year), the emperor issued an edict, announcing that the world was changed to the king's land, and the slaves were called private families, and that they were not allowed to buy or sell. According to the ancient well-field system, one husband and wife gave 100 mu of land. If a man had less than eight people and the land passed one well (900 mu), the remaining fields should be distributed to those who had no land or fewer fields among the neighbors of the nine tribes."

Good, isn’t this the land owned by the state, and let the local tyrants share the land!

The fifth reunion looked at Wang Mang again with admiration. It seemed that Wang Mang could realize this sharp conflict between people and places. He probably knew that if he did not reform, he would have to destroy the country!

It’s just that the way and intensity of execution are ridiculous - Wang Mang actually counts on the conscience of the powerful!

This move only exists in writing and cannot be implemented at all. Isn’t this nonsense? If officials come to the door to divide the land, there will be one hundred people who are unwilling to do so.

It's really a contradiction, the country and the race, the public and the private, the collective and the individual, the everyone and the family. But this is the history of mankind. In the contradiction, it is entangled in painful choices, spiraling up in the contradiction, and making little more difficult progress. The political class of the fifth relationship is still good.

In short, the new dynasty is now only allowed to buy and sell Wang Tian. The two private subordinates are still holding on to each other, which is a tight curse on the heads of the powerful, limiting their unsatisfied appetite. However, judging from the disaster in the Jingshui River, the nobles and the right men have found a way to bypass this restriction, and the county officials and even the court officials are either in the same nest with snakes and rats, or like Zhang Zhan, they are powerless.

Wulun even looked at the embankments that were repaired in advance before flooding, and maliciously speculated that the Jingshui Yongzhe was really a natural disaster rather than a man-made disaster?

The Liewei County at the foot of the capital is still like this, and other places are even more unimaginable.

This contradiction is deeply rooted and cannot be easily solved by replacing the Han family with a new room or changing it over. When the string at the critical point collapses, a big chaos will break sooner or later.

Jing Dan looked at the contemplative fifth reunion and patted him and said, "You are still young and should focus on diligent research. Don't think too much. Let the meat eaters in the court plan."

But Wu Lun said: "Brother Sun Qing can say so much, and he often thinks about these things. I thought that Brother Sun Qing was in a great fortune family and should also hate Wang Tian's private subordinates. Now, I still feel a little regretful?"

Jing Dan shook his head: "I am just a child of the little clan of Jing's family. I lived a hard life when I was young. I can only rely on my own to study the scriptures. Now I live with the salary of the court and I don't have much land. I am not as virtuous as Bo Yu, but I just want to be promoted."

"And then return home in glory?"

"No, it's just staying away from your hometown and becoming a family." Jing Dan smiled and said, "I don't want to be bound by the clan. Not every family can have a good head like you."

It seems that Jing Dan’s past is very story-breaking.

And at this moment, a cold snorted from behind the two.

When he looked back, Xiao Yan passed by, as if he had heard a few comments from them, and was quite disdainful. But he ignored the two of them and walked down with Fan Zhu and others with the graceful manners of the son of the king.

Wu Lun and Jing Dan just looked at each other and said to each other, "How could Xiao He have such arrogant descendants?"

...

After the climbing, everyone returned to the table again. As a snack after meals, King Yuan of Qiongcheng asked his servants to put on bait, which was the steamed rice cake, and then he asked someone to get chrysanthemum wine.

Wang Yuan said: "This is an old custom in the Han Palace. In September, wearing dogwood, eating bait, and drinking chrysanthemum wine."

At this time, Xiao Yan continued: "It is said that it was created by Concubine Qi, Emperor Gao of Han, and it is in line with the custom of plumpness. When the chrysanthemums are relaxed, they will pick stems and leaves and mix millet to brew them. They will start to ripen on September 9th of the next year and drink it. Therefore, it is called 'Chrysanthemum Wine', which can make people live longer."

And that was the golden age of their Xiao family. Xiao He ranked first among the heroes in the early Han Dynasty, and his title of marquis has lasted for more than ten generations and has been extinct.

Wang Yuan and Xiao Yan are both foreign relatives of the former Han Dynasty and descendants of heroes. They are considered old and young, and there is a lot of nostalgia for the past in the dialogue.

Wei Xiang noticed this keenly, coughed lightly and planned to them. When changing the topic, he only lit the fifth reunion and smiled: "Boyu, I have just heard about your two words. Let's talk about it, why did you say it?"

The fifth reunion had to deal with the county magistrate. The county magistrate repeated the excuse of Wei Xiang nodding and exclaiming, but Xiao Yan suddenly said: "I have heard a story. King Wei of Chu heard that Zhuang Zhou was a great wise man and sent a generous sum of money to welcome him."

He had been enduring it for a long time, and he didn't care whether it was awkward or not, and he talked about this seemingly irrelevant thing.

"Zhuang Zhou was fishing on the Pu River and laughed at the envoy of Chu, saying, "A thousand gold is worthy of profit; you are the prime minister, and you are respectful. But have you not seen the sacrificial cows during the suburbs? They have a good meal and good food for a few years, and have clothes embroidered in literature to enter the Taimiao, and they will lose their lives in one day. At that time, even if the sacrificial cows want to be a wild buffalo without anyone to take care of? Go away quickly and don't smear me! I would rather not be an official in my life and be happy in the sludge than be bound by those with a country."

Xiao Yan finished the allusion in a long and long way and looked at the fifth reunion: "When I first heard about the fifth reunion, I thought he was like a calf Zhuang Zhou said, and wanted to swing his tail in the mud and water. But just now on the platform, I heard him and Jing Sunqing talk about the government affairs, and he was quite worried. Why is this?"

Wu Lun knew that Xiao Yan was intentionally embarrassing him, and after thinking, he smiled and said, "Because the rise and fall of the world, every man is responsible!"

This resounding remarkable, Jing Dan suddenly raised his head, and Wei Xiang's eyes lit up.

"Absurd words!"

Xiao Yan was extremely disgusted with this sentence and scolded: "The Master said: If you are not in your position, you will not plan your politics. As a common man, you have the concerns of the ministers and officials, and you will discuss the government affairs in a nonsense. It is simply a worry that is ridiculous!"

The fifth reunion was not in a hurry, and looked like he was being taught, bowed and said, "Why did Mr. Xiao think, what should I care about?"

Xiao Yan said: "Since you have resigned from your post, as a white man, what you should worry about is the land and harvest at home. Get married as soon as possible and give birth to more men to continue your bloodline. Do not criticize national affairs."

Be born to cut leeks for you group of heroes?

The fifth reunion asked: "Then Mr. Xiao has no official position yet. Isn't he also a white person? What's the difference between him and me?"

"I am the son of the Duke and the Marquis." Xiao Yan answered proudly, not saying that he had been designated as a filial and honest person in the inner world, and sighed that the fifth relationship is really stupid.

Who would have thought that the fifth reunion had a dispute with him and asked anxiously: "The son of the Duke and the Duke, even if he is still white, can he care about the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Why?"

Xiao Yan was a little annoyed and scolded: "Because this is the order of heaven and earth, the rule of the world, the son of the emperor is the emperor, the son of the prince is the prince, the son of the noble is the minister, the son of the official is the minister, and the son of the ordinary man is the common man, it is not easy for generations!"

It means class solidification. As a marquis country that has been passed down for more than ten generations, the Xiao family is indeed a vested person. In his family's eyes, I'm afraid that even the position of prime minister would be passed down from Xiao He!

But this sentence is a slight addition, and the fifth reunion has been drawn out. The fifth reunion smiled and said, "The generations are not easy? Mr. Xiao means that the son of the emperor in the previous dynasty should still be the emperor?"

This is simply killing people and even Xiao Yan was scared.

As a legacy of the previous dynasty, his family was already sensitive. If they were introduced into the court by those who were interested, although the emperor was very tolerant to the former Han marquis, once he was involved in the sensitive activities of "restoring the Han", he would have to be carefully dealt with by Wuweishi Ming.

"I definitely didn't mean this!" Xiao Yan was a little disobedient, so he simply did not hide it. He stared at the fifth reunion and said what he wanted to say: "I mean, you are probably a hypocritical person. He pretended to resign and make a fame for his official position. He wanted to be famous in the county, so he could be called a filial integrity by the Great Yin!"

You are so smart, but the fifth reunion just smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed, looking like he was wronged.

Before he could refute, the person next to him was attacked by Xiao Yan's words of class solidification as the rule of heaven and earth.

Wei Xiang suddenly laughed and said, "A coincidence, I have also heard of something about Zhuangzi."

He also began to tell a story: "There is a big bird in the south, its name is yuānchú. It took off from the South China Sea to the North Sea. During this period, it was thousands of miles, and it was not stopped by the sycamore tree, it was not eaten without the practice, and it was not drunk by the sweet spring. On the road, a pike (chi) bird caught a rotten rat. When he found the pike flying by, he thought he was coming to compete for food with him, so he looked up at it and said, "Scared!"

Speaking of this, Wei Xiang suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile. In fact, everyone understood: "Now, Mr. Xiao wants to scare the fifth uncle Yuxie with the position of filial piety and integrity you are holding?"

Xiao Yan's face suddenly turned red and he was about to attack, but he became cowardly again and did not dare to offend Wei Xiang, the official in Beijing who held real power.

But he forgot just now that although the Wei Xiang family was a large clan of Longyou, there was no major official in the Han Dynasty. Most of them, the good families of ancestors joined the army and made some small military achievements.

By the time of Wei Xiang's generation, his uncle served as a hero and his brother joined the army. Wei Xiang studied the classics and also made a fame through some deeds, which was eliminated by the national teacher. The Wei family was considered a rising priest in this dynasty, so of course it was not satisfactory to Xiao Yan's outdated words.

Xiao Yan scolded the fifth person for being hypocritical and famous. Didn’t he scold Wei Xiang, or even Wang Mang, who was today?

In addition, Wei Xiang had a good impression of the fifth reunion, and the Xiao family actually had no connections in the court, just to rely on the old capital. The county magistrate Zhang Zhan was forced to cooperate with him under pressure, but Wei Xiang didn't have to, so he spoke out and ridicule him.

If you do it again, I will go back to the national master and say a few words. Your cooked filial piety may fly away!

At this time, Jing Dan also spoke, and bowed to everyone and said, "You should know that the county magistrate Zhang Gongzi Xiao has always been strict and kind, and he will be able to stop moving. Even if he lives in a secluded room, he must have a look of appearance. Even if he treats his wife and children, he will be as good as Yan Jun. When he meets a village party, he will be more serious and considers his appearance. "

"But some people say that Mr. Zhang is pretending to be a fake, and he laughed and said, "That's right, I'm just pretending to be a fake, but others are doing it for evil, but I'm doing it for good, right?"

Jing Dan looked at the fifth reunion: "Boyu resigned from the official twice, but he was still a white man. This has nothing to do with his concern for the world. I have been with him for many days, only to know that he is indeed doing good deeds and doing good deeds, but he does not see any falsehood. Mr. Xiao rebels for no reason, but he actually suspicious of Boyu's fake deception, is that okay?"

The fifth reunion looked at Jing Dan. In his impression, Jing Dan had always been a high-emotional literacy, but today it was not easy to touch Xiao Yan for him.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was almost ashamed, the stunned master, King Yuan of Qiongcheng, quickly came out to smooth things out: "You guys, the chrysanthemum wine has already come, try it quickly!"

Seeing that the scene was a little awkward and cold, Wang Yuan glared at Wang Long, a clan nephew who had been eating and drinking silently from beginning to end, and was almost regarded as air by everyone.

Wang Long was not stupid either. He felt his uncle's gaze, and then coughed and said, "Doctor Wei, lords, King Xiao of Liang Zhaoyan from all over the world, Qi people Yang Sheng, Gongsun Gui, and Zou Yang, all of them arrived. One day, they visited the Forgetful Hall, gathered all the travelers and sent them to make a tribute."

"So Mei Cheng made "Liu Fu", Lu Qiaoru made "Crane Fu", Gongsun Gui made "Wenlu Fu", Zou Yang made "Wine Fu", Gongsun Cheng made "Moon Fu", Yang Sheng made "Screen Fu", Han Anguo failed to write "Seven Fu", Zou Yang wrote "Subtle Fu" on behalf of Zou Yang. King Xiao of Liang gave Zou Yang and Han Anguo the most time. He gave Mei Cheng and Lu Qiaoru five pieces of silk."

"From then on, whenever you go to the garden to drink, you cannot be without poetry and essays, and today it is the same. Although there is no sausage of water flowing in the water here, there is a drum that can be used to spread chrysanthemums. When the drum stops, the person holding the flowers will write poems. There is no limit to poetry, vocabulary, and essays, but there must be two words: autumn and chrysanthemums, both of which are the best!"

"You guy first throws the stone and brings jade to you, and writes a self-written "Autumn Chrysanthemum Fu".

After saying that, he raised his glass of chrysanthemum wine and drank it all, and recited: "How strange is the chrysanthemums in autumn? They are lush and lush in the green spring, and they are spectacular in the Jin Shang..."

He blurted out more than a hundred words in one breath, which really shocked everyone here. Only then did the Fifth Reun realize that the banquet of King Qiongcheng today was probably going to recommend his nephew! But Wang Long was too low-key during the meal, and he was just making a big splash now.

After Wang Long finished reciting, he cheered all over the house, but the fifth reunion could not tell whether the Han Fu was good or bad. He only knew that the rhetoric was extremely gorgeous. Perhaps people of this era would be good at this.

Next, he started to beat the drum and passed on the chrysanthemums, because Wang Yuan asked Wei Xiang to preside over the presidency, but it was Xiao Yan's turn first.

The son of the Duke and Mausoleum is not bad at all knowledge. After only a little thought, he raised his head and recited:

"It is tasted in autumn, and it is steep in summer, and the white peony is strong.

Sacrifice general, Mao Yuanshen, and Zhuozhu.

Wan Wuyang, Xiaosun Youqing..."

But it is a song "Lu Song·Gui Gong", with the theme of praising the ancestors' civil and military achievements and expressing their hopes to restore the glory and old careers of their ancestors, which is very consistent with Xiao Yan's thoughts.

He definitely hopes that Xiao will be the one who will be as stated in the poem in the future, either losing or dying, or dying. Three lives are like a friend, right?

Then, the flowers stopped when they reached Jing Dan's hand.

Jing Dan looked at the yellow flower in his hand, but remembered Qu, who had a relative with him. Qu Yuan also liked chrysanthemums very much. The world was turbid and unruly. He seemed to be with the light, but in his heart, he hoped to stick to himself like Qu Yuan.

"Drinking the fallen dew of Mulan in the morning, and eating the fallen chrysanthemums in the evening."

"If I have faith and practice the key, how can I hurt my long chin..."

"Although I am not as good as the people of today, I hope to follow Peng Xian's legacy!"

Although the ambition is incompatible with the people of today, I am willing to follow Peng Xian’s teachings. Jing Dan still has to thank the fifth relationship, which is Zhang Zhan before and the fifth relationship behind, so that he can know that there are still people in this world who adhere to principles and practice the way of benevolence and righteousness.

Next, it’s the fifth reunion.

"I have only studied the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Filial Piety. I do not understand poetry, nor can I know verses and verses."
