Shu Yan agreed verbally, but did not take the matter to heart. He suddenly remembered the scene before Xie's death, and asked Dr. Shu: "Grandpa, isn't it good for us to cultivate and study family heirlooms like this? Why did Xie go to his deathbed?

Must I become an official? What’s more, I know that nowadays, the way to become an official in the imperial court is controlled by wealthy and prominent families.

They have always looked down upon them. The so-called difference between scholars and common people is greater than heaven. This situation is becoming more and more common. And I think it is quite good to live a pastoral life of farming and studying like I, Aweng, have Han.

A close friend like my uncle, when he is tired from farming, sings and sings over wine, and makes poetry and wine proud of the princes. He is free and unrestrained, how cool and unrestrained he is."

Dr. Shu nodded and shook his head again: "It is undeniable that your father-in-law Xie is right. Your hermit attitude is influenced by me. You are self-reliant on your talents and never bow to the influence of wealthy families.

, willing to hide in this countryside

But Yan'er has said since ancient times: "The small hermit hides in the wild, the middle hermit hides in the city, the big hermit hides in the court." After all, hiding in the wild all your life is not a great hermit. At least you can hide in the court first, and then hide in the wild.

In this way, you will be worthy of God and the people."

In the past, Shu Yan was influenced by his father. In this life, he only wanted to cultivate and study and inherit the family. He never thought about fame and fortune. His father never asked him to honor his ancestors. At this moment, Shu Yan did not speak. He recalled Eunuch Xie.

The scene on the day of his death. At that moment, he was crying beside Eunuch Xie's bed, while Zhixin was waiting for him on the bank of the Ru River to celebrate the Si Festival together.

Although Shu Yan was a little regretful that he could not go to Zhixin's date with Shangsi, he did not regret it. He was not a person who only cared about the love between his children - it seemed too early to talk about the love between children, as boys were not as thoughtful as girls.

Delicate. Although he is now older and his feelings towards Zhixin have gradually changed, in his heart, this date with Shangsi has not changed.

He didn't have many thoughts between men and women. Even if he went to the appointment that day, he probably had a "gentleman's magnanimous" attitude and regarded it as like when he was a child, an innocent outing with Zhixin's sister and brother.

Journey. He didn't know Zhixin's thoughts, let alone Zhixin's "ulterior motives" for deliberately sending away her younger brother in order to date him alone.

No matter how interested Zhixin was, the girl's shyness was inherent, and she could not be passive and proactive in saying any love words. It is not difficult to imagine that under such circumstances, even if the two made an appointment that day -

A young girl who has just begun to love faces a man who has not yet been "civilized"

"The young man, the girl is ignorant and the boy is dull, just like playing the piano to a cow, how much romance will it create? Zhixin has already thought of this in her heart, and she doesn't expect how romantic that date will be, but as long as she can be with Shu

Yan went on an outing alone and stayed for a while, and she was happy.

Zhixin's good intentions came to nothing, but she did not blame Shu Yan. In comparison, being able to let Brother Yan stay by Xie's side when he was dying was much more important than the agreement with Shangsi. After all,

Their days are still long.

Although the days are long, there are not many opportunities to meet. Zhixin helps her mother as a female celebrity to earn money to support the family every day. In her spare time, she supervises her younger brother's study. When Shu Yan is not studying, he goes to Xishan to chop some firewood or do some work at home.

Pick out the uneaten vegetables and sell them in the market.

The weather in March alternates between hot and cold. Although it is already the end of spring, it is inevitable that there will be periods of late spring cold. The children of the Shu and Han families have long taken off their thick clothes, worked early and late, and passed the summer early. Shi De is like a bird that has not spent the winter, hiding in his warm nest.

Every day, A Miao and A Yan helped Shi De wash up, feed him, put him in a crane cloak, and then, carrying a hand stove and a foot stove, personally sent him to an exclusive study room for him to study. Of course, a fire had been lit in the study in advance, and it was warm. Agarwood was still burning beside the stove, and the aroma filled the room. For this reason, Shi De named his study "Agarwood Study House".

At the request of Mr. Zhu, A Miao and A Yan no longer accompanied Shi De in his studies. For this reason, Shi De sent one of his little book boys to Shi De. Shi De gave it to the male slaves and maids who followed him. There is a rule for names. Male slaves are named after the word "shi", and maids are named after the word "女". This little book boy is named Aji. He has a smart mind and quick hands and feet.

A Miao and A Yan put the hand stove and foot stove in place. After everything was arranged, they told Aji a few words to serve the young master well before going back.

Mr. Zhu came in, and Shi De first performed the courtesy of teacher and student, then returned to his seat and sat down, stepping on the foot stove. Since the weather was not cold anymore, he put the stove aside and held a handle in his hand. Yu Ruyi played with it. Mr. Zhu had long been dissatisfied with Shi De's pretentious behavior, so he asked, "What time of year is it now?"

Shi De said: "Sir, it's spring weather now, it's the end of March."

"How can I see it?"

"Sir, why are you so confused? Haven't you seen the green willows and spring breeze outside?"

"Since you know the willows are green outside and the spring breeze is blowing, why do you still set up a hand stove and a foot stove? You are a young man with a strong blood, why don't you as an old man like me avoid the cold?"

"Uh..." In fact, according to the current weather, there is no need for any heating equipment at all. Shi De motioned Aji to remove all the hand stoves and foot stoves.

Today, Mr. Zhu was talking about "Book of Rites", and when he talked about the chapter of "Qu Li", he read: "The death of the emperor is called collapse, the death of princes is called death, the death of great officials is called death, the death of scholars is called unpaid, and the death of common people is called death. In bed. It's called a corpse, and it's called a coffin in a coffin..." After talking for a while, he saw that Shi De was no longer playing with jade Ruyi, but lowered his head to admire the feather pattern of the crane cloak and fur he was wearing. I still didn’t listen to his sermons carefully. The crane coat was a very popular coat in the upper class at that time. It was made of fur and decorated with bird feathers. It was warm and light, and the patterns were exquisite. When you wear it, you will look like a fairy. generally.

Mr. Zhu put down his book, sat upright, and tapped the desk with his ruler, "When Emperor Wu of Wei died in Luoyang, if you were a ceremony official at that time, what words would you use to describe him?"

Shi De was startled by Zhenchi and came to his senses, "Since Emperor Wu of Wei is the emperor, of course he must use the word 'collapse'."

Mr. Zhu sneered: "Although Cao Cao was called Emperor Wu of Wei by later generations, it was only after his son Cao Pi became emperor. After the Wei Dynasty, the word 'Beng' can be used. At that time, the world was still ruled by the Han Dynasty. , Cao Cao is just the king of Wei and a prince, not the emperor, so how can you use the word 'beng'? If you use the word 'beng' indiscriminately, isn't it a crime of great disrespect and you will lose your head?"

"Oh." Shi De scratched his head, "Then the word '薨' should be used."

"Since you know how to use the word '薨', then you can write the word '薨' to me."

Shi De picked up the pen and wrote several times, but he couldn't get it right.

Mr. Zhu looked at what he had written and took the opportunity to criticize: "Confucius said: 'A gentleman has nothing to eat and nothing to live in, and he is eager to learn.' Studying must be a little bit harder in order to achieve something. The so-called 'thinking about food and clothing'

Lust, lust, with a display like yours, do you still have the heart to study?"

Then he ordered Aji: "Why don't you quickly remove all the jade Ruyi, crane cloak fur and agarwood!"

Aji heard the order and glanced at Shi De secretly, but did not dare to move. He was in a dilemma. As for Shi De, he had already scolded the teacher a hundred times in his mind as "a rotten scholar", but he did not dare to show it on the surface.

, he took the initiative to take off the crane's cloak and fur, and handed it to Aji along with the jade Ruyi. When Aji saw this, he also extinguished the agarwood.

In this way, Shi De had nothing at hand to distract him. Although he was still careless at times, it was much better than before.

This March, a major event happened in the Jin Dynasty, which changed the direction of the development of Chinese history. That is, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, destroyed Sun Hao of the Eastern Wu Dynasty and unified the country, making the Jin Dynasty one of the few in Chinese history after the Han Dynasty.

One of the great unified dynasties. Because the Western Jin Dynasty unified for a short time, there were only three

Sixteen years later, it fell into division soon after, so that historians rarely refer to the "Jin Dynasty" separately, but mostly call this period "Wei and Jin". This name is very important to the unified dynasty of the Jin Dynasty.

It seems a bit unfair to say that it was not Cao Wei who unified the Three Kingdoms, but the Sima Jin Dynasty.

If we talk about the late Han Dynasty, the period from the Three Kingdoms to the Western Jin Dynasty, the most dissolute emperor was not the late Han Emperor Liu Xie, not the late Wei Emperor Cao Huan, nor the late Shu Han Emperor Liu Chan, but the late Wu Emperor Sun Hao. He killed innocent people indiscriminately.

, many members of the royal family and ministers died in his hands. He also tortured him indiscriminately, and even if he didn't like it, he would die.

He peeled off people's faces and gouged out their eyes alive. Sun Hao had thousands of beauties in his harem, and he drank and had sex every day. As this was not enough, even the wives and daughters of ministers and the beautiful women of the people were required to provide for him. The whole country of Wu was grieving.

All over the country, people were looking forward to the Jin Dynasty coming over to overthrow Sun Hao and save the people of Soochow from misery.

There is much support for those who gain the right, but few for those who do not. It is only a matter of time before such an unpopular court will be overthrown. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, spent eight years to pacify Liu Meng, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, and Xianbei's Bald Hair Tree function's rebellion temporarily eliminated the hidden danger in the northwest.

With the northwest stabilized, he can then devote himself wholeheartedly to dealing with Soochow. He

Five armies including Zhendong General Langya King Sima Min, Jianwei General Wang Rong and other five armies were sent to attack Tuzhong, Niuzhu, Wuchang, Xiakou and Jiangling respectively. The water route was led by the famous general Wang Jun and went eastward along the Yangtze River.

Taiwei Jia Chong was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief. Six armies advanced by land and water, destroying everything like dry matter. In just a few months, Sun Hao was defeated.

Longxiang General Wang Jun was the first to attack Sun Hao's palace. Seeing that the situation was over, Sun Hao tied his hands behind his back, carried the coffin in a cart, and knelt in front of Wang Jun. This is called Mianfuyu, which is a common ritual for defeated kings in ancient times to ask for surrender.

.Wang Jun personally helped Sun Hao up and helped Sun Hao

He opened the rope and ordered people to burn the coffin. Sun Hao presented the jade seal and pictures. After defeating Sun Wu, the Jin Dynasty gained four states of Soochow, 43 counties, 313 counties, and a population of 2.3 million.

, and obtained 2.8 million hu of rice and more than 5,000 boats. The place of Soochow

The long-term division in the Central Plains was due to the natural danger of the Yangtze River and the numerous warships, which were difficult to attack. Therefore, Sima Min, Wang Jun and others ordered the more than 5,000 ships to be burned down in front of the squadron to avoid future troubles.

The jade seal of the state of Wu, illustrated books, enshrined

Sun Hao returned to Luoyang with great force. After Sun Hao was destroyed, the people of Wu State were very happy. In fact, the Jin Dynasty had the conditions to destroy Wu as early as a few years ago, only because a few ministers such as Jia Chong opposed the attack.
