Aggrieved Fish Sprite: 82|People should not take Shun as righteous
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter!
Lu Zhang was in distress when he was a teenager, and then soared up.
He is ambitious and capable, and he has caught up with the best time.
However, the fall of the Chu Dynasty, this responsibility cannot be transferred to the Lu family.
Many things in the world are like this. It seems to be inextricably linked. It seems that a difference in thought can rewrite history. This is not the case. Without Lu Zhang, there would be a second conspirator.
The house in Lujiazhuang is half old and not new, and the handwriting is still clearly visible on the archway facing you.
The husband’s surname and the maiden’s surname add up to form a name that is not a first name: Jiu Fu Lu Zhang.
This archway is like the facade of Lujiazhuang. There are no weeds around and no moss on it. It is about ten feet high and can be seen far away.
"There are so many ills in the world, even if you try hard, it is difficult to find a solution." Meng Qi looked unpredictable, he said solemnly, "It's like a gourd thrown in the water, hold this end, and the other end floats again. Come up. If you go up with your hands together, it's like forcibly suppressing, pressing and holding down, but after all, the gourd is thinking about how to break away from the force you exert. There are orders to go down, isn't it much more complicated for people than the gourd?"
The Chu Dynasty once issued a decree that if a married woman dies and has no children, the husband's family must return the remaining dowry.
This decree is straightforward. The dowry of a woman is that her family expects her to live well in her husband’s house. Those big clans have everything in the dowry, and even the cloth should be divided into the clothes to wear and the curtain on the bed. Combs, mirrors, jewelry, a complete set of furniture, and even gold-lacquered toilets. Strictly speaking, these properties do not belong to the husband’s family, but the children of the woman.
Even if the home is copied, it is divided into two situations: copying all, and dowry of immovable female relatives.
Her parents have always been strong and hate sons-in-law. It is indeed possible that they will ask for the dowry because their daughters are not available. However, this is not above the law. If you really do it, you will be scolded by the backbone.
The common people’s family doesn’t say so much, and it’s impossible for a woman’s natal family to be powerful, and it will naturally suffer.
However, this decree to prevent her husband’s close relatives from forcing a woman to swallow her dowry has not been implemented smoothly.
My natal family asked for a dowry, but the husband’s family shied away. The dowry list back then was so valuable that the two parties had their own opinions. I don’t know how many people went to court.
Some people used to be shoddy when returning the dowry. A set of good pear wood furniture was considered the price of a broken table and a chair. They were plausible, saying that ten years have passed and the things have been destroyed almost a long time ago.
Some men, who don't give birth and are idle, have already spent their wives' dowry.
So how the things are depreciated, how much has been used over the years, and how they are used unreasonably... It can be used for three days and three nights.
The decree is good, but when it comes to implementation, everyone complains, so it becomes a grievance, and the decree will naturally not be enforced.
There have even been many murders for this.
There are a lot of people who are clamoring for money or not.
It's nothing more than a shame. A widower started from his heart and took up a knife to kill all the Yue family members who asked for the dowry.
In another case, the woman’s parents were dead and her elder brother was unable to repay the debt. The sister-in-law came up with an idea to murder the married woman who had nothing to do with her, so as to repay her dowry.
For various reasons, this law came to an abrupt end after less than one year.
Moli was speechless for a long time after listening.
Mo Li only wanted to be a doctor before. He didn't even have any interest in being a famous martial arts master. There are few people in Zhushan County, and things are simple. He has never thought that being a competent minister is so difficult.
It's not that you can save the country and the people with a passion.
No matter how talented you are, you must be exhausted to cope with endless troubles.
Mo Li was worried that Meng Qi would be indulging in the past, and his illness would break again. He was trying to persuade him, but now is not the time.
——There are others here.
This person originally passed by here, but was attracted by Meng Qi's words, and sneaked behind a tree.
Mo Li heard it all, and Meng Qi was no exception, but he still finished speaking without a rush.
Meng Qi winked at Moli, and the two left around Lujiazhuang.
Meng Qi said as he walked: "Like the Lu clan, they are not too poor to eat, and some clans have even had talents and talents. Are they ignorant of manners, justice and shame? On the contrary, they grew up in the clan. , I’m used to this kind of school, I think that things in the world are like this, the ruler is the minister, the father is the son, the husband is the wife, the loyal minister is not the second master, the good girl does not marry the second husband, and the husband died and died. It's Meidan. Do you know what this means?"
"They don't think it is a wrong thing to kill a woman who has lost her husband." Mo Li replied.
Because there are outsiders on the side, Moli didn't call Meng Qi's name, just as Meng Qi didn't mention the name "Doctor" anymore.
"The three principles and five constants are the foundation of the country in the eyes of many people."
Moli took a little bit of mind, pay attention to the person who stalked them sneakily.
The man is a half-hearted man, but he is agile and small in stature.
This kind of agility is different from Li Konger's kind of insignificant mannerism of a gentleman of Liang Shang. He is more like listening to people frequently, his breath is stable and not chaotic, he is good at hiding himself, and he can always find a suitable hiding place without thinking.
Most people tend to look for big trees or big rocks when they want to hide, because they feel safer there.
And this person can pick the occlusion that just covers the body shape by visual inspection. It may not be the largest, but it is the most suitable. The angle is even better. Standing in the position of Meng Qi and Moli, You can't see a corner of this man's clothes at all.
If it weren't for martial arts masters with sharp ears, he might have to fool them.
On several occasions, Moli pretended to look around and turned around deliberately, and the other party hid in time.
"..."
What about people who have no intention of killing and no obvious maliciousness, who just want to eavesdrop?
Mo Lei was about to show off the man, but seeing that Meng Qi seemed to want to continue testing, he could only slow down and continue to talk to Meng Qi as he walked.
"Has the imperial court ever restricted the power of the clan?"
"The Chu Dynasty once ordered local officials to prevent the clan from enforcing the clan law privately. The clan has no right to execute prisoners without authorization. If a Shentang is found or beaten to death, it needs to be investigated and fined according to the lesser circumstances. Exile the heavy ones."
After Meng Qi finished speaking, he said, "Then the whole country argued, and the whole country opposed it."
"Why?" Mo Lei didn't understand it. It was just to prevent indiscriminate killing and wrong killing, not to abolish the clan system.
"...Because the clan must have authority, just as the father has the right to decide on his children, they believe that the so-called nation should be built on this."
Only when you obey your parents at home and become a courtier will you obey the imperial authority.
The so-called rule of filial piety, as well as the three principles and five constants, are all the same.
"They need authority, absolute and indisputable authority."
"So, what is the use of the law?"
Moli is very uncomfortable. Xuezhi County in Zhushan County is not the case. There is always one to say, which one is wrong and which one is responsible, and the matter is clearly stated, everyone is happy and sincere.
It can be seen that even if the common people are illiterate, they are not completely ignorant.
"This is naturally because... the emperor himself did not abide by the laws of the country, and suddenly became angry, and wanted to kill. The emperor was angry and killed a million corpses. Isn't that the truth? The dynasties have never given the clan this kind of power. This power is formed naturally, it is acquiesced, and no one can shake it, so the stopper is not stupid, but I and my old friends are too naive."
Meng Qi looked at the imperial tomb in the distance and whispered, "I used to think that Li Yuanze was not such a person."
The voice of this sentence was very low, and only the ink carp beside him could hear it.
——It's hard to fight the world, but it's even harder to rule the world.
Meng Qi never thought so much when he fought the world.
When the Chu dynasty ruled the world, Meng Qi vaguely realized some resistance, but it was because of the trust of many years of acquaintance, and the Chu Yuan emperor was really not the kind of person who is happy and angry. He has been in power for many years and even has a palace maid’s yellow door. He hadn't killed it, so he ignored it.
"The emperor can ignore the law if he doesn't abide by the law. If a father wants to be unreasonable, he can be unreasonable. There is no difference between being a courtier and being a child."
Meng Qi was speaking, and suddenly heard a small sound behind him, that a stone was trampled down.
It's like the eavesdropper's heart is shaken out of control.
When Mo Lei turned his head, he happened to see the half of the person's face that was too late to hide.
——Unexpectedly, he is very young and has not yet reached the championship.
Judging from the clothes on his body, his family is very good. How could such a person appear near the imperial tomb?
Ten miles of land near the imperial mausoleum were surrounded by garrisons, and Lujiazhuang's location happened to be among them. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach, and it is not easy for people in Lujiazhuang to go out.
There are fields, wells, a small **** and two sparse jujube forests.
It's not a prison, it's better than a prison.
Wanting not to alert others to sneak in, Wugong almost guessed that it was not enough.
At this moment, there was a tumult in the distance, in the direction of the military camp. Moli couldn't hear what they were talking about, only saw a group of soldiers scattered and searched around, as if looking for someone.
Mo Li winked at Meng Qi. Meng Qi didn't look back, as if he didn't know someone behind him.
"The imperial tomb is right in front of Lujiazhuang. There are people nearby. Let's avoid it first."
While speaking, they have already arrived in front of Lujiazhuang's fields.
The Lu clan people are not asking for rain, but are farming.
After walking for a while, Mo Li found that there was no movement behind him. He listened attentively and made sure that the person really did not follow.
"Brother Meng, where do you think that person came from?"
"Unlike people in Lujiazhuang." Meng Qi pondered.
They are well dressed, and their complexion is not bad. They are completely different from those of the Lu clan in the field, who are numb and indifferent to the noise.
Mo Li guessed: "Is it a Jianghu people?"
"It's not like it." Meng Qi shook his head and said, "What the two of me just said, ordinary people in the rivers and lakes are not interested."
Perhaps that is an extraordinary quack? Mo Li thought so, but didn't refute, because the young man's light work was so bad, he seemed to be learning indiscriminately, but he was dressed like a rich young man.
Meng Qi stood still on the slope, and saw that there was another village not far away. It has now moved away, leaving only a slightly dilapidated house.
The scale of this village is not smaller than that of Lujiazhuang, except that there is one archway in front of Zhuangzi.
"Yongzhou is short of water. Between clans and clans, canals are dug to divert water every spring. For the water source, the two Zhuangzi can break the blood, so there are few villages with many surnames here. The single clan is mostly."
It is difficult for people who leave the clan to make a living from the land to survive.
The water source is just that, how can the weak and the weaker fight for it?
The clan cannot be abolished, nor can it be abolished.
"In this world, not all clans will force their widows to death for an archway, and more people can't survive leaving the clans. Even with a bad temper like Deng Shusheng's, they finally endured the sand in their eyes. At that time, I thought that if every household became rich, maybe the world would change, but the years were not as good as expected."
Where can there be good things in good weather every year?
The lack of water in Yongzhou has been a problem since ancient times, and it cannot be solved by the peace of the world.
People in Lujiazhuang don’t worry about eating and drinking, but they don’t have to worry about it. They need to cultivate every year. If the field is not harvested, how long can the stored grain be eaten? How long can the savings last? It's just a matter of sitting and eating, so you have to fight for water for everything.
Mo Li suddenly thought of what Meng Qi had said, and couldn’t help but say: “If one day, one family’s field can afford three or even ten households, and the people will have other ways to make a living, so they will no longer be troubled. Because of the land, the fight for spring ploughing for water will be reduced a lot. People don’t need clans, and the power of clans naturally declines."
Meng Qi smiled, very cheerful.
"The doctor really is my confidant."
"There are many capable people in the world. As long as you want to find them, you won't be short of confidants." Moli was not happy, he reminded, "You could meet many friends back then, and you can naturally find them today."
"But none of them are you."
"...The difference between me and them is that I probably won't leave you behind and die first." Mo Li regretted it after he said it. It was too straightforward.
Qimao Mountain and Shangyun Mountain are two dragon veins, one after the other, they entered the world as human beings. Before they met, Moli had a good teacher and Meng Qi had a good friend. I can't say who is more envious, but I always care about what I don't have.
Meng Qi tilted his head to look at the ink carp, as if he was measuring how much the doctor cared about himself.
However, what disappointed him was that Mo Li seemed to be accustomed to his existence and admitted his irreplaceability, but it was not the development he would like to see.
For example, Moli may be willing to take him back to Zhushan County to meet Qin Lu, Xue Ting and others, but it is no different from being promoted to mothers by close friends.
We must get acquainted with each other's relatives and friends, which only proves the deep friendship.
And now only Moli needs it, Meng Qi is completely alone.
"Sorry, I shouldn't mention these." Moli also realized that he had touched on a topic that could not be mentioned yet.
At this time, the direction of the wind changed, and a scent of sandalwood was blowing in the wind.
Moli's nose is itchy, and I can't help asking: "Where is this begging for rain?"
The smell is so strong, is it burning incense as firewood?
Speaking of praying for rain, Meng Qi's expression is a little uncomfortable.
He thinks that the mountain spirit is the dragon vein that people often say, but the dragon is not the same as the dragon. He lives in the mountain and the dragon king lives in the sea. The matter of running clouds and rain is not under the control of the mountain spirit, nor can it be managed.
There is no Dragon King in the world!
In this way, burning incense and worshipping the gods in such an invigorating way has no effect except choking people.
"Snee!"
Meng Qi turned his head when he heard the sound, and then met Moli's gaze.
When the two heard this sound, they thought that the other party had sneezed, but it didn't turn out to be, and then they both started to lose sight of them.
——Do fish sneeze? What's that like?
——When the gerbil sneezes, the beard will probably be blown up, and the flesh on the cheek will tremble.
It's interesting to think about it.
It was a little military officer who sneeze. His hat was not upright, and a few soldiers were behind him. They seemed to be looking for someone who happened to pass down the hillside.
"The people from the capital are poor and exquisite!" said the little military attache very dissatisfiedly, raising the wind with his palm.
"Inspector, don't say a word, that's a third-grade member of the Ministry of Etiquette!"
The soldier persuaded from behind, the little military officer kicked a stone and said angrily: "It's fine for the third-rank civil servants. Anyway, they have always been pedantic and nagging, but this is so good. What ancestral temple is the prince coming to worship! That kid won't come. , Don’t talk about the third-rank civil servants, I am afraid that even the fifth-rank officials will not rush over here at this time, and they will be thrilling...Tsk, now people don’t know where they are going, so if they are looking for it in a hurry, what did they do earlier? I can’t sleep for a midday nap."
The patrol chief didn't have a door on his mouth. He cursed. The soldier wanted to persuade him again, and he almost couldn't get in.
"...you have said it, the prince! We will lose our heads when he says a word!"
"Fart!"
The inspector cursed, "We have all been sent to guard the imperial tomb. What future do we want? It's just eating and waiting to die, with a big scar on our heads, I'm afraid of a ghost!"
The soldier's face became even more bitter, muttering that the inspector is full of food and the whole family does not worry about it. They have started a family in Qiong County, and there are wives and children to raise, but they can't die in vain.
Seeing them go far away, Mo Li was still in a daze.
The eavesdropper just now was the prince?
Lu Zhang's son?
Moli came to the imperial tomb because the Qingwu ancestor of Tibetan style view wanted to break the dragon veins of the Qi Dynasty, so he shouldn't let it go. Maybe he had a confidant and squatted near the imperial tomb. Anyway, going to Taijing is also in this direction. Mo Li simply walks along the road, and it is best to catch people who know the truth about Li Di Ling. It doesn't matter if you can't.
As a result, the alchemist's tail was not found, but he met Lu Zhang's son.
"Strange." Meng Qi said to himself.
"What's wrong?" Moli asked.
Meng Qi meditated: "I think he seems familiar."
Just a quick glance, only half of his face could be seen.
"Have you seen?"
"No, this kind of familiarity...should be my blood relatives who have met him. I am not so keen on people's looks." When Meng Qi said the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Moli's expression. , "It seems that this is a problem that our mountain spirits all have."
Mo Li said casually: "Maybe you have met Lu Zhang."
"I don't remember this." Meng Qi clasped his forehead and recalled, "I didn't have it as a national teacher, but I still have a lot of strange memories, like dreams, such as overlooking the whole Tai Beijing, or drifting across the street..."
"It is a way of using spiritual power, sometimes in this state, I can see the situation of most of the mountains." Mo Li cut his mouth.
Meng Qi's eyes lit up.
Mo Li knew what he was thinking, so he added the second half sentence blankly: "...I can only do it in Zhushan County. I suspect that you can only have this ability when you enter Taijing. "
"It's a pity." Meng Qi thought to himself, if it is available now, why bother running around looking for clues.
In minutes, I picked out the people of Tibetan style.
The prince running around can also catch and frighten him and let him listen to others casually!
Mo Li and Meng Qi are both sharp-minded people, and they have not forgotten the weirdness of that young man.
Although it is strange for the prince to learn martial arts, it is not impossible. There are still some masters in the palace. It may be because of the inability to endure hardship, or the lack of natural talent.
But—good at hiding? What kind of prince is this?
And when I heard a certain sentence, my mind was agitated and made a noise out of control?
Meng Qi is a national teacher, but not an emperor teacher. He himself has no interest in the profession of emperor teacher. He doesn't think that this is his own words. That's why the prince is a teachable talent.
When you hear a sentence you lose your temper, the clue is naturally in that sentence.
There is no difference between being a courtier and being a child... Meng Qi thinks this is very common, and there is no hard truth. If others don't understand, how can the prince understand?
The boy doesn't look stupid either.
"Come on, while they are looking for someone, go to the imperial mausoleum." Moli closed his breath, and the smell of incense sticks became stronger.
Even if there are dragons, they will be choked to death. Why is it raining?
Wait--
Meng Qi thought to himself, if he is a local mountain spirit and can walk clouds and rain, then he must be too annoyed to chop a thunder, and then water all the incense to be wiped out. Is this just asking for rain? The true meaning of it?
Meng Guoshi feels that he still knows too little about the origin of these folk traditions.
Maybe there really are dragons?
Furthermore, in front of the imperial mausoleum ancestral temple, the officials from the Ministry of ceremonies from the capital were very anxious. Although there are garrisons around here, if something happens to the prince, he will be in great trouble.
"Haven't found His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince?"
"Don't worry, He Shilang, didn't the Sixth Prince learn martial arts? What can happen to the boundary of the imperial tomb?"
The speaker did not wear armor, and his face was pale after he recovered from a serious illness. He said a few lazily, and found that Shi Lang was staring at him, his beard was shaking with anger, so he arched his hands boredly. "I went to Beijing to resign and I heard that the six princes were missing, so I came to help. If Shilang He feels that he is not able to contribute enough, I will take someone to the county to find it. Qiong County is very lively today during the Rain Prayer Festival. , The sixth prince is young and may have slipped out to play."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Shi Lang to speak, so he went out.
"Wufu!" He Shilang cursed.
"General Liu, you have offended He Shilang, and you will come to the court in the future..."
"Is there no place for me to offend them?" Liu Dan didn't take it seriously. He copied his hands and walked out of the imperial tomb leisurely. He suddenly turned around and stared at a row of stone sculptures near the imperial tomb.
Moli: "..."
Meng Qi: "..."
Hey, the purse seems to be more alert than ordinary people.
