Chapter 37 Do You Believe?
"Boyu is the fifth man who is 'Yizheqiang bow'?"
"Oh? Boshan actually recognizes me!"
Wu Ren thought that his reputation could not be spread from Liewei County, but he unexpectedly came to Chang'an in just half a month?
The capital is full of people and heroes from counties and countries gather together. There are countless new deeds every day. Things that have just become popular will be forgotten in a flash. It is ten times more difficult to make a name here than in Changling. Therefore, the fifth reunion has been quite low-key since entering Beijing, and is too lazy to even make a name for itself.
The fifth reunion said humbly: "It's me, but that's just an exaggerated statement from the villagers, and it's not worthy of trust."
"Boyu is too modest."
Geng Chun touched his crown that seemed to be almost lost: "Last time I went to visit my relatives of the clan, Maoling, and I heard people talk about you. There are not many people who can praise Yuanshe. Besides, the surname Boyu is too rare, and as long as I listen to it, it is difficult to forget it."
Well, it is indeed unforgettable. Unless you are put together with the first, second, third, and eighth, you will be foolishly unable to remember it.
Also, Yuan She praised herself? The fifth reunion really doesn't know. It seems that she has to go to Maoling to meet Yuan Daxia and return Wan Xiu's broken bow to him.
At this time, the fifth reunion discovered something embarrassing.
Geng Chun knew him, but he knew nothing about Geng Chun. Judging from his personality, he should be a straightforward person. The four words "reverent to a long time" that go against his will are really hard to say.
"Boshan studied at the Imperial Academy a few years ago?"
Jing Dan, who was standing beside him, came to help Diwu Lu smooth things over. He stepped forward and claimed his name, and said with a smile: "You and I should have entered the school in the same year, but I have learned about the name of Gengboshan, Julu."
Jing Dan also introduced to the Fifth Reun: "The father of Boshan was the Great Yin of Jiping County (Dingtao)."
It turned out to be the son of two thousand stones. No wonder Geng Chun was only over 20 years old and was able to join the Taixue, Xiaolian and Langguan. The new dynasty stipulated that their sons could go directly to the Taixue to listen directly to the Taixue. No wonder Jing Dan wanted to achieve six hundred stones in order to win the starting line for the descendants.
When filial piety and honesty are selected, there are often py transactions between the two thousand stones: staggered years and recommended each other's children and nephews. Therefore, there are very few people who are truly "silent and innocent" in the quota of filial piety and honesty, such as the fifth reunion and Jingdan, who are already considered aliens.
After Geng Chun and the two came to the remote location of Lang's office, they talked about why they couldn't help laughing just now.
"That was ten years ago. The hen in my house had a double yellow chicken. After the kitchen was opened, it was passed on to everyone to watch."
"At that time, there was a local scholar in Yan in the city of Songzi. He was very fond of astronomical prophecies and was visiting my house. He said that this was auspiciousness and was related to the creation of the new house. He should be presented to Chang'an."
"I was young at that time and was very puzzled. Could it be that this hen was sensed by the emperor's eyes thousands of miles away?"
This made the fifth reunion amuse again. Although Geng Chun was the son of the Great Yin, he was quite disrespectful to the emperor of the new dynasty and was also a potential thief.
Geng Chun's words were humorous: "So I secretly took the eggs to the kitchen, put them in water and cooked them, sprinkled salt, and ate them in two bites. The taste was no different from that of ordinary chickens, and nothing strange happened afterwards."
"It's a pity that Ximen Junhui shouted, "Why could you have been named a marquis from this? Are you laughing at me?"
It was indeed extremely funny. When the Xin Dynasty was first established, the flattering people saw that Wang Mang liked prophecies and divination, so they frantically reported the good fortune to the court. The piglets here had three legs and the wheat there had two ears. The people who offered them quickly were actually named marquis, which greatly depreciated the fifth-class title system.
Finally, even when they saw each other on Chang'an Street, they joked with each other: "You haven't received the book of the Heavenly Emperor?"
In the "Eleventh Shanggong", some people used prophecies and divinations to seek personal gain, trying to "dividing and governing Zhou Zhao" to underestimate Wang Mang. They even used the "Shistoric Book" to marry Wang Mang's daughter, which was the Huang Royal Family Lord who lived opposite Xuanmingli.
Chen Chong made suggestions, saying that prophecies and divination talismans have become double-edged swords. How can this continue? Wang Mang immediately took measures and announced that those who dared to make their own will be arrested and imprisoned. The talismans needed by the court can only be released by the agency "five power generals" led by him directly, which cut off the way of chaos.
"Therefore, Ximen Junhui did not become a marquis. Now he has become a guest of the marquis and kings, and is still talking about prophecies and divinations."
The momentum is gone, and now the one who is still easily awarded the title with the prophecies and auspicious dreams is the real pig.
After Geng Chun left, Jing Dan looked at the fifth reunion and said, "In this way, is Boyu the same as Huan Junshan, who does not believe in the auspicious and different prognosis?"
Huan Junshan was the one Huan Tan who was so sarcastic to the fifth reunion at Yangxiong’s family a few days ago and did not apologize to him afterwards.
In the past ten years, in order to please Wang Mang, court officials have made a prophecy, and even Yang Xiong has not been able to avoid the common people. Only Huan Tan is silent. He even criticized the saying of auspiciousness in public, and was a famous madman, and he also held the "theory of form, spirit, candlelight", which is quite a gesture of being drunk and awake.
The fifth reunion admires Huan Tan for this, but that man has such a bad personality. Even if Yang Xiong recommends, he is too lazy to make friends.
After hearing Jing Dan’s question, Di Wulun shook his head and smiled: “I don’t believe in prophecies.”
"But Xiangyi, I believe it!"
Nonsense, although all the auspicious auspicious things that Wang Mang tinkered with were fake.
But isn’t he, the time traveler himself, the most truly auspicious thing in this world!?
...
At the same time, in the Nantai Student House of Chengnan, Qianghua was stolen by the old lady student Zhuang Guang, who was in the same house.
This vulgar and rude Kuaiji man actually said, "Prophecies, divinations, auspiciousness and differences are all false."
Zhuang Ziling laughed at Qianghua again: "The Fu Ming is not led by the Five Power Generals, and they are all imprisoned. If you go to the Emperor of Heaven to offer the letter to the emperor, you will not be able to become a marquis, so you can only go to prison."
Qianghua, who was clumsy, was so refuted that he couldn't speak. Fortunately, Liu Xiu made peace for the two of them, and pulled Qianghua out of the house and refused to provoke Zhuangziling.
Qianghua had nowhere to vent his anger, so he only kicked the stone on the ground hard, but suddenly turned around and said, "Uncle Wen believes in Xiangyi's prophecy, right?"
Liu Xiu nodded: "Auspicious, I believe it."
The disasters in the Spring and Autumn Period are all revealed, and the sorrowful world is no longer refuted. The disasters and the incompetence of the Han emperor are both true. In addition, the three geniuses of the lineage, destruction has the truth.
But the new house that usurped the Han Dynasty by using the talisman was as Wang Mang proclaimed, with countless auspicious auspiciousness. Is the world peaceful?
“Quality on the contrary!”
As far as Liu Xiu knows, there have been more disasters in the world over the past decade.
Not to mention the small ones, let’s talk about the big ones. In the third year of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (11 years), the river broke its mouth in Wei County and spread to several counties east of the Qing River. The court did not block for a long time, causing the river disaster to become more and more severe, raging to Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and has been seven years since Dayu controlled the flood. The Yellow River, which has been fixed for thousands of years, has been completely redirected, flowing through the plains and Jinan, and flowing to the thousands of rivers into the sea.
After coming to Chang'an, Liu Xiu listened to the eighth Jiao mentioned by his fellow disciples from Liewei County that in the third year of Tianfeng (16), the Jing River was in Changpingguan Yongshou, and then changed the route. But the country's general Ai Zhang explained the Fuzhi, believing that this was auspiciousness of filling water with soil, indicating that the New Dynasty would destroy the northern Xiongnu. So the court ignored the floods, but tried desperately to send troops to the north.
I heard again that during the Tianfeng period, Huanglong fell to the Huangshan Palace and the people rushed to see the crowd. Although the court denied the rumors that this was fake, Liu Xiu believed it to be true.
Huang Long appeared in the world several times when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. Now he is dead. Does this mean that the virtue of the new house will decline?
These things are hidden in Liu Xiu's heart and he dare not speak easily to others. One of his purposes for studying Shangshu was to contact the true meaning of "Hong Fan" which explains the five elements and understand the auspicious and strange way in this world.
Liu Xiu looked into the distance: "As for prophecies and divination, I believe it even more!"
As early as a few years after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, a woman in Chang'an City shouted in public on the street: "The Emperor Gao is furious and his interest is my country. Otherwise, I will kill you in September!"
The court said that this woman was a lunatic and was exiled, but after hearing this, Liu Xiu felt that this might be really a high emperor.
Later, the story of "Liu Ziyu" was widely circulated, saying that it was the posthumous son of Emperor Cheng of Han. Now that he has grown up, he has stopped the Che, the minister of the new dynasty, and reported his identity, saying: "The Liu family should be restored, and they are interested in the palace."
The man was killed by the clan, and the official refuted the rumor that the emperor's son was killed by Zhao Feiyan, and there was no Liu Ziyu at all. However, there are rumors among the people that the real Liu Ziyu is still alive. Even Zhai Yi, the first loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who held high the banner to resist Wang Mang more than ten years ago, is still alive and is lurking in nowhere, waiting for the change of time...
It is exactly the same as the young master Fusu and Xiang Yan at the end of the Qin Dynasty!
As a relative of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiuning believed that these prophecies and divinations were present. Wang Mang used prophecies and divinations to usurp the Han Dynasty, so could he not turn the other way around?
What he believed most was the words he mentioned to him excitedly after hearing it in Wancheng, and the slogan that gradually became a voice among the people.
"The Han family should be revived!"
...
In the afternoon, after the men and women practiced the laws of the chief ministers, they were finally able to go home.
Geng Chun also met the two of Di Wulun and even invited them to visit Zhangtai Street together tomorrow. Both of them said that they had something to do at home and refused - in fact, Di Wulun really wanted to go there.
While he was talking, a Langguan who knew Geng Chun came over in a few steps, too lazy to avoid it. He spoke quickly and directly switched to the Julu dialect that people in Guanzhong could not understand, and said a few words to Geng Chun.
Geng Chun's face changed and he bowed to Di Wulun: "I live in Xiuchengli, Guanqian Street. Boyu and Sun Qing must come to find me in their spare time and taste the strong wine from Yanzhao."
After saying that, he hurriedly left, Jing Dan said, "Can Geng Boshan not wait, and he will go to Zhangtai Street tonight?"
But Wu Lun shook his head: "No... something really happened."
He was so glad that he still had some language talent. When he learned about Tianxia dialect with Lao Yangxiong, a dialect expert, he learned it from the north to the south. He could just understand the difficult-to-mouth Julu dialect.
The fifth reunion whispered: "He is saying that just now the emperor issued a secret decree to spread the five powers to the world, to examine the corruption, strictly investigate the county magistrate, and the county magistrate who increased their income and became rich!"
Wuweishishi was the supervisory agency of the Xin Dynasty. It was directly responsible to Wang Mang. It was under the supervision of the superiors and subordinates. Anyone who did not use his life, the cunning, those who cast fake money, those who were arrogant and extravagant, those who leaked the affairs of the provincial and ministers, and those who thanked the private sects were all among the supervision.
To sum up this incident, Wang Mang wants to fight corruption!
After hearing this, Jing Dan was shocked: "Is this true or not? Why didn't we receive the news?"
Emperor Wang Mang always thought about what he said when doing things. The Fifth Lun and Jing Dan had no strong background in the capital. There was no need to notify a group of idle foreigners first by the imperial edict issued by the Duke's government.
As for why Geng Chun and others knew? They were the son of Erqianshi, and they were in-laws in the capital, with a lot of old friends and well-informed ones. Can they be the same as them? As for Wang Long, the cousin of the Hou family of Qiongcheng... this fool was concerned about the poems and knew nothing.
Geng Chun's father was Jiping Dayin. He might be involved in this anti-corruption wave, so he was anxious. Not only Geng Chun, many of the 2,000-stone children in Lang's office learned the news, and immediately lost their leisure time and walked quickly.
The officials of the Xin Dynasty were not honest from top to bottom. When Wang Mang suddenly came like this, I am afraid that the whole world would be in chaos.
After doubting, Jing Dan smiled and said, "Speaking of this, this matter has nothing to do with us. I was just a literary officer in a mere county before and have always been honest. Even if the Five Wisdoms found my head, there was nothing to be afraid of."
The fifth reunion wanted to speak but stopped, and finally asked: "Sun Qing, son Xiao Gong..."
"Boyu!"
Jing Dan understood the meaning of the fifth relationship and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang is strict and kind, and has never been in harmony with the turbid currents. He is definitely not a corrupt person. As a disciple and an old official, we cannot be suspicious."
The fifth reun nodded. What he was worried about was that if their advocacy was dismissed, then the fifth reunion, Jing Dan, and even Wang Long, Xiao Yan would be implicated.
Hope is as Jing Dan said, Zhang Zhan is as straight as he is, and his arms are clean and honest. Then there is really nothing to worry about in the fifth relationship...
What a weird thing!
"Brother Sun Qing, I can't wait for tomorrow, I'll leave tonight!"
After Wu Lun said that, he rode his horse back to Xuanmingli quickly, shouted the fifth blessing who had not eaten yet, and immediately drove the carriage carrying coal balls to leave Chang'an.
The reason why I was so anxious was because the fifth reunion suddenly remembered that in autumn, the fifth dominant bribed the county magistrate Xianyubao for his quota of Imperial Academy.
Although this matter was ruined, the benefits of Xianyu County Magistrate did not retreat. If he was involved, the Fifth Family might have some trouble.
I don’t know which world this anti-corruption edict was. The Wuweishishi may have arrived in Liewei County to start a thorough investigation. I have to take the rest of my life and hurry home to see the situation. It is a blessing or a disaster, so I can deal with it.
But he was still one step late.
At night, before the fifth reunion arrived at the fifth liwu courtyard, he encountered the fifth unit who hurriedly wanted to go to Chang'an to find him.
When he met the little master's car, he heard his son Diwufu call him repeatedly. Diwu Square quickly grabbed the horse, rolled down, and held the car bar of Diwuren and said in horror: "Young master, something big happened."
"Just in the afternoon, the Xianyu County Prison was arrested by officials from the court!"
"And just now another supervisor came and took the head of his hometown to the county center!"
...
