Chapter 3 Join if you can't beat it

The fifth domineering beat people is not a joke. He stood up cursing on the spot and directly picked up the tongs next to him to beat the fifth reunion.

Wu Lun only ran a little slower, and two tongs were hit on his leg, which hurt so much.

He quickly ran away in a mess, taking a small stick, leaving the big stick.

Fortunately, there are many people in the kitchen, from the kitchen to the slaves, all the people who have been married to each other come to stop them.

"The master of my hometown, I can't fight!"

"If Xiao Langjun is destroyed, who will inherit the ancestral hall of the fifth clan?"

"That's right, this little guy is just trying to anger me to death, so he can inherit his family property!"

The fifth domineering was really popular and scolded: "I gave up the quota of the Taixue that I have been asking for. If this huge business falls into his hands, I may be defeated quickly. It's better to kill me as soon as possible. I have many cousins ​​and brothers! Are you afraid that no one will give me a funeral?"

Having said that, when someone stopped him, the anger disappeared a lot.

Yes, his two sons and a grandson both died in the epidemic many years ago, leaving only the fifth family. If it is really broken, wouldn’t it be cheaper for those close relatives of Kun whom he doesn’t even look down on? Besides, the fifth boss has always been pampered with his grandson, and his face is swollen, and he feels distressed afterwards.

The fifth bastard did not say such harsh words as "exiting the fifth clan", and just threw the iron clamps into the direction where the fifth clan slipped away, and then sat on the edge of the well to breathe.

Then the fifth reunion came back carefully. The old man had a bad temper. Nothing was useful when he was angry, but he could still talk to him after calming down.

He presented the tongs with both hands: "Big Father, you listen to your grandson's explanation, and it will be too late to beat him after hearing this."

"I won't listen!"

With a plop, the fifth tyrant threw the tongs directly into the well. He turned his face away and didn't want to talk to his grandson, but when he thought about it, he turned around and pointed at the fifth tyrant and cursed: "No wonder you haven't even opened the book once in the past half month. You just pestered me to learn the fighting skills of hand-to-hand combat, or you go to the county town to make friends with Guandong Jiaren, a gentleman, and don't do your job properly. It turns out that your mind has long been no longer on the art of classics."

"Yes." The fifth reunification bowed to the fifth domineering: "The grandson felt that reading the Five Classics was of no use."

The old man was stunned, his eyes were complicated. He sighed, patted the edge of the well, let the fifth reunion come and sit down, and said earnestly:

"Lun'er, more than fifty years ago, I was about the same age as you, and I thought studying was useless. I followed my companion as a gentleman and a villain, teasing the common scholars, and took off their high crowns and made them urinals."

"Later, I was arrested by Jingzhao Yin and could only run to the frontier as a soldier. I wanted to follow Fu Jiezi and Zheng Ji, be granted a title of marquis for his military merits and return home in glory. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

The fifth reun nodded. The war that the old man participated in was the last battle between the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. As a young soldier, the fifth domineering leader followed Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou to Kangju, killing Zhizhi Shanyu, leaving behind a bold statement that "those who violated the strong Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away"!

The fifth domineering eyes were filled with memories of the glorious years: "It's great to follow the Marquis of Yicheng Zhuang and Marquis Chen to fight. We crossed the snow-captain, stormed the Five-Century City, seized the flag of Marquis of She, and killed the head of Zhizhi, and hung the flag thousands of miles away! The city walls of the Western Regions were all afraid of the shock, and the Hu Ji lined up to let us sleep, and each of us also got a lot of money and precious monsters in foreign lands."

His eyes dimmed: "But you know, what are you waiting for us after returning to China?"

Wu Lun shook his head, he didn't know what happened next.

But the fifth tyrant said angrily: "There is no people crossing the road to greet them, and it is not a reward for the marquis. As soon as the army entered Yumen Pass, the Sili School Captain issued a document saying that the Chen School Captain should be arrested. He also asked the officials along the way to check the property we took from the Xiongnu Kangju and confiscate them all! I am afraid there are spies from the Xiongnu in the court, and I want to strictly investigate our revenge for Zhizhi Shanyu!"

"Captain Chen reported the title of injustice, and Emperor Yuan then invited people to entertain the army. However, after returning to Chang'an, the reward was delayed. Gan and Chen's two captains were awarded a few years later, and our ordinary soldiers had almost nothing!"

In the view of the Fifth Domineer, this was a treacherous minister in the court! Some anti-war civil and scholars made a fuss about it. Prime Minister Kuang Heng and the eunuch Shi Xian and others colluded to obstruct the rewards. Later, they were just a little bit of Chen Tang's official position. Chen Zhengwei was a little greedy for money, but his flaws did not cover up the merits. As for the small mistakes, would he not let go of them?

Since there was no reward, the soldiers involved in the battle could only return to their hometown in shame. They found that a young Confucian scholar who was teased by him in the village had already been in a prosperous capital, exempted from corvee service, and had a bright future. However, he was born and died for the Han Dynasty in a foreign land, and suffered from injuries but had nothing to gain.

Why!

After that, the fifth boss never made a name for himself. He worked as a pavilion chief and a villager, and solved many cases. However, no matter how good his performance is, every time he is promoted, the county gongcao would ask: "Can you understand the classics?"

Of course, the fifth domineering cannot. Not to mention the Five Classics, he had never even learned the Analects of Filial Piety. When he was young, he was busy fighting bravely. He imitated the Xuan of the previous dynasty and the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty and became a talented person in Dingguo halfway? He did not have the perseverance and talent.

In fact, he also went to the county primary and secondary schools to listen. Those masters shook their heads and turned around and said a few words, and they did not teach the way of governance. But how could a military official like him have no hope of career and could only be a minor official in his life? The Confucian scholars who had been to the Imperial Academy could directly become men and doctors after passing the shooting test, and then hold a high position of 2,000 stones? Even the village man no longer followed the law and orders to ask the Confucian scholars for the "Spring and Autumn Prison".

So the promotion was left unresolved. The fifth domineering life wasted and retired in a position as a villager. On the other hand, those colleagues who were not as capable and qualified as him were promoted gradually because they had studied Confucian classics and met the above requirements.

Why!

It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, but the old man finally understood the general trend of the Han Dynasty using Confucian classics to win scholars. No matter whether you are civil or military, learning a classic technique is a prerequisite for becoming a great official and making a fortune.

Therefore, in order not to let his descendants suffer as much as he did, the fifth domineering work hard on his grandson's education. At the age of seven or eight, he sent the fifth reunion to the "primary school" in the county, and hired Confucian scholars to have a small kitchen at home. Finally, he cultivated a talent who was able to pass the Imperial Academy exam.

Compared with the Han family, this new room attaches more importance to the classics and techniques. The enrollment of Tai students has been expanded to ten thousand, and the status of Confucian scholars has been unprecedentedly elevated - who made Emperor Wang Mang himself a scholar?

Judging from this situation, we should continue to let the family members practice the Five Classics deeply. This may be the only channel for the Fifth Family to achieve transformation and take off Nirvana.

But unexpectedly, my grandson was as ignorant as he was back then. How could the fifth domineering not be angry?

"If you can't beat it, join?"

The fifth relationship is appreciated by my grandfather’s approach to the trend. It is thirty years earlier, so it is fine, and it is understandable to be twenty years later.

But when I met the short-lived dynasty of Xinmang, I took the wrong path. Although I don’t know much about this history, the Xin Dynasty was followed by the Eastern Han Dynasty. The dynasty was changed. It was definitely a chaos in the Jiuzhou and the people were living in poverty. It was impossible for them to abdicate peacefully like Wang Mang every time.

Because the Fifth Reun was very interested in marching and fighting, the Fifth Reunion thought he was determined to be in the army, so he lowered his voice to persuade his grandson, "It would not work if I joined the army like I did back then. Although the emperor is now provoking trouble, not only attacking the Xiongnu, but also attacking the Western Qiang, the Western Regions, the Southwest Yi, and what other Goguryeo..."

"The next Juli." Di Lun smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor has issued an edict to change Goguryeo to this name."

It's another antonym, this is very Wang Mang.

In short, the new dynasty was only ten years after its establishment, but it was like crazy that it was all mad and sent troops from all directions. Although the front line was frequent, it was heard that those who went to the Xiongnu in the north and the southwest barbarians who were injured and returned from serving in the south and southwest barbarians cried and said that hundreds of thousands of troops were spent on the frontier and suffered heavy losses, and the war seemed to be in a deadlock.

The fifth tyrant was worried about this: "In recent years, the court's taxes have been imposed, and the corvee service has been distributed to the clans. My fifth clan has gone to three people last year, and six of them are going to be issued this year! Could it be that there are more troops?"

"The people who went to the Western Regions to quell the rebellion the year before yesterday said it was a great victory, and they also gave the general who led the troops a son and a man. But the few people who were recruited by the Fifth clan never came back, and they might have died there. There are also rumors that the Western Regions Protectors had been killed by the Hu people in the Western Regions, and the reinforcements were defeated by the city-government coalition forces. The remnants were trapped in Kucha and broke off contact with the court."

After all, after a few years of struggle in the Western Regions, the Fifth Domineer was still concerned about the other side, and only sighed: "The current emperor and Chen Tang are friends of age and are highly praised by Chen Zhengwei. He treats the barbarians of Rongdi as Chen Zhengwei, and they will be punished even if they are far away. But how can the battle be fought like this? It is not as powerful as the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions that we were fighting against the Five Barbarians..."

To be honest, the new army's combat effectiveness is really bad, and the foreign victory rate is pitifully low. Therefore, it is not good to take the general route at this time, so I accidentally lost my life.

The fifth reunion interrupted my grandfather: "Big Father, the reason why I don't want to enter the Taixue and practice the Five Classics is because I study and advance to the officialdom, and it can only be possible during the ordinary season."

"But if you encounter troubled times, those complicated Five Classics will probably be of no use when encountering sharp swords!"

"Traveling times?" The fifth domineering was shocked and looked at the fifth reunion: "What do you want to say?"

These words cannot be revealed. I followed my grandfather to the south wall of the fort, stood at the vegetable garden, looking at the world in the evening, and the fifth reunion said his own judgment.

"Big Father, I think the world is probably going to be in chaos!"

...

"What are you talking nonsense?"

Hearing this, the Fifth Domineer was shocked. Although he had seen the world in the Western Regions when he was young, he was still essentially a small landlord, with his eyes limited to Guanzhong and even the little Liewei County Changling County. He lacked sensitivity to subtle changes in the external world.

In the view of the Fifth Domineer, although the new army was defeated repeatedly in the four borders and barbarians, those things were too far away and the country was still relatively stable, and life was far from the point where it could not continue to rise.

But the fifth relationship is different. Because he didn't know the historical details of this era, he was more concerned about collecting information. A few days ago, he ran to the county town and even sent people to the capital to inquire with Hedong. The news he received made him worried.

"Last year, there was drought and flood in Guandong, and there was a thief in the southeast Yangzhou. There were rumors that half of Kuaiji County was in chaos."

"There is also the East Xuzhou. There is a woman named Lu's mother. Because her son was unjustly killed for the county priest, hundreds of poor teenagers gathered to capture the county town and killed the county priests. She specialized in the beach. It is said that tens of thousands of people have gathered."

"There are also happening this summer and autumn. Jingzhou has been drought for years and the people are hungry and poor, so they are thieves and gather in Green Forest Mountain, with more and more people..."

The word "Green Forest Hero" was heard of the fifth reunion in his previous life, and he may be a big force in the future.

He only found out about these few times, but the turmoil hidden by the court was afraid of more. It looked like it was a spark, but will the war spread in a few years?

After all, the Xin Dynasty was full of restructuring, and all classes had a lot of complaints. Wang Mang started wars around the border. Even those who do not understand history can see that the Xinshi is now in internal and external difficulties and is as stubborn as a burden.

"It's just a few thieves, thieves, Lun'er, you've never seen the world. In which dynasty or in which year did you have such a little thief?"

The Fifth Domineer did not take the rebel army in Kanto seriously, which made the Fifth Reunion speechless. By the way, could Wang Mang and the people in the court have the same mentality?

I felt relieved when I thought about it. Unless I knew like him that the new dynasty would be destroyed quickly, it would be difficult for normal people to believe that this peaceful world would suddenly collapse in just a few years.

The fifth domineering still doesn't accept the alarmist words of the fifth replies, and just doesn't mention this and asks about the key points of the whole matter.

"Lun'er, even if you don't want to enroll in the Imperial Academy, you just don't study. Why do you have to give the quota to the Eighth Family? Wouldn't it be a cheaper family?"

Wu Lun was about to tell his reasons, but a hustle and bustle came from afar. The grandfather and grandson saw a group of people along the western avenue to the south gate of the dockyard, and the servants guarding the gate also came to report: "The head of the family, the head of the eighth clan and his son, the eighth Jiao, came to visit!"

The fifth bastard was a little surprised: "Didn't the Eighth family have a grudge with my family? How could the old man come to the door today?"

"Of course they have to."

But the fifth reunion did not feel surprised. He knew that it was the official school that he had transferred the quota to the eighth clan.

"It's just coming a few moments faster than I expected!"

...

On the other hand, in the county town, the county priest Xian Yu Bao had prepared a night banquet to entertain two doctors from the capital, Huan Tan and Liu Gong.

At this time, Liu Gong thought of what happened in the afternoon and turned to ask Huan Tan who was carelessly picking fish bones.

"Junshan."

"Do you think that today's fifth reunion gave up the Taixue quota to his brothers is truly humble and kind? Or do you just want to use this to gain fame and fortune?"
