In order to avoid suspicion, Yun Chang, the governor of Lu County, was unwilling to submit a memorial for Kong's family, but Kong Zhi's memorial to establish Qufu was sent to the fifth reunion case, but it was submitted by Wang Long, Taichang.

Wang Long explained: "This matter should not be bothered by Your Majesty, but it is said that for this matter, Kong specially sent people to travel to the Zeng family in Nanwu City and Meng family in Zoucheng. Although his words are not commendable, it can be seen that the Lu people are willing, so the ministers dare not intercept them."

After reading the memorial, Wu Lun looked through the memorial and said with a smile: "How can we say that it is not enough to read the classics?"

The reason why the Confucian scholars in Lu ranked fifth in Tokyo in Qufu is that in addition to Qufu, it is also emphasized that Mount Tai next to it is a "holy mountain".

"The sky is too high, so I set up Fengshan on Mount Tai to worship it, hoping to be close to the gods. Mount Tai is the Eastern Mountain and should be the Eastern Capital. In ancient times, those who enthroned Mount Tai Chan Liangfu had 72 families. Later, Qin Emperor and Han Wu all went to Mount Tai to Fengshan. Your Majesty was ordered for five hundred years to reorganize Yingtian. When the world was peaceful, then things would become Fengshan to report peace to peace."

This means that anyway, the fifth reunion is a saint king that appears every five hundred years. It will definitely bring peace to the world, reappear in the prosperous era, and achieve the achievements of Qin Emperor and Han Wu. If the capital of Qufu is established, wouldn’t it be convenient for Fengshan in the future?

The Kong family and the scholars in Lu thought they had flattered the right one, but they didn't know that the fifth reunion was not so passionate about Fengshan.

However, Wang Long took this trick and felt that it was impossible to establish the capital of Qufu, otherwise how could he sell this favor to help him hand in the report?

Wu Lun handed the bamboo slips to the Imperial Academy Priest, Huan Tan, to see: "Junshan is knowledgeable, do you think, what do the Confucians say?"

After reading it, Huan Tan said, "Your Majesty wants to hear the harsh truth, or flatter lies?"

Wu Lun smiled and said, "Can Huan Junshan tell lies?"

Huan Tan then bowed to the fifth reunion: "Then the minister started from the source of Mount Tai Fengshan... Huan Tan had no other skills, but liked to read a lot of books, and almost everyone should read what should be read and what should not be read. From this, he found that even before the Spring and Autumn Period, even if the Analects of Confucius was compiled by his disciples of the "Spring and Autumn Period", although Mount Tai was mentioned several times during this period, at that time, scholars and officials could climb up to look far and wide without overturning, and the common people could avoid harsh policies and hide in. However, Confucius' preference for ancient and rituals did not mention Mount Tai Fengshan..."

Seeing that Huan Tan had doubted that Fengshan was at the source, Wang Long dissatisfied and said, "Doctor Junshan, I also read a lot. I know that the earliest documentary talks about Fengshan in Mount Tai, which was Guan Zhong of Qi, two hundred years earlier than Confucius! Guan Zi said that in ancient times, the emperors of Cheng Liangfu were 72 generations! From Wuhuai, Fuxi to Chengtang, and King Cheng of Zhou."

"Is it a Fengshan article in Guanzi?" Huan Tan disagreed: "When Guanzi says, I think it was written by the ancients in Jixia in the Warring States Period, and it should not be earlier than Confucius. Moreover, when King Cheng was the first founding of Lu State, if the emperor really came to the east to inspect Fengshan, how could there be no record of history?"

After all, Huan Tan suspected that the Taishan Fengshan Ceremony of the 72 generations of emperors was originally something created by the scholars of Jixia who wrote "Guanzi" based on the words and phrases from ancient times!

"The story of Taishi Gong's "Fengshan Book" also says that the Fengshan ceremony has been wide and far away for more than a thousand years, and the recent for hundreds of years, so its rituals have been destroyed, and it is not clear that it is not clear and recorded."

Huan Tan boldly proposed his conjecture: "During the Warring States Period, Qi was strong and was almost the same as Qin as the East and West Emperors. In order to help the King of Qi rule the world, the ministers at Jixia entrusted ancient fabrications. Among the five mountains, Mount Tai was not necessarily higher than Xihua, Tianzhu, Zhongsong, and Hengheng in the north, but they were closest to Qi and Lu, and were most recognized by the orientals, thinking that they could climb Mount Tai and have a smaller world, so they made this statement."

"After two hundred years of publicity, it has become a consensus in the world. Qin Shihuang unified the nine provinces and emperors in the Zhou Dynasty. He also believed in the words of Qi and Confucian scholars of Lu, so he came to the Fengshan ceremony. Unexpectedly, the Eastern Confucian scholars had a clear conviction about Fengshan in the seventy-two emperors. If he really wanted to discuss the detailed rules, he would not be detailed. Everyone said that. Now that things have come, Qin Shihuang could only simplify the etiquette and force the Fengshan and return."

It doesn’t matter what rules are used. What’s important is that Qin Shihuang went to Mount Tai and completed Fengshan, which is enough! The illusory ancient events were realized and customized.

Wang Long was stunned. Huan Tan actually believed that Mount Tai was a view of a rude scholar, and it was not recorded in poetry and books, and it was not a fact, and Mount Tai was not a holy mountain. If the Lu Confucians outside heard this, it would probably cause an uproar.

The fifth reunification understood that Huan Tan meant that Taishan Fengshan was originally a concept hyped by the Warring States scholars. Then he attracted investment everywhere. Qin Shihuang invested, which made this story come true. Later, Emperor Wu of Han followed up and Fengshan Fengshan was a foregone conclusion and could go public and cash out directly...

After more than a hundred years, the popularity of Mount Tai and Qufu has been slightly reduced. After all, from the perspective of geographical advantages, the north is not as good as Linzi and Pengcheng, and can only use the cultural card. Confucian scholars from Shandong, scholars, and the rich family urgently need another wave of Wei emperors to make Qufu the eastern capital so that this story can continue and rest with the country...

However, they made the wrong plan. This time the fifth reunification came to Qufu to worship Confucius and set the five gifts for the five gifts. This is to respect Confucius, but it is to destroy the "Confucian religion".

"I want to build a Confucian Temple in Chang'an, almost moving the Confucius Temple in Qufu. In this way, I will pay homage to Confucius with the emperors of the future, and then leave the palace and visit you. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to consume people's resources and wealth to the foot of Mount Tai."

After all, if you want to see the true Confucius, you should feel Dun Dun's teachings as a role model in the Analects of Confucius, and feel his joy, anger, sorrow, joy, sorrow, and separation of mortals. In Qufu, whether it is now or two thousand years later, only a fake Confucius with gold powder can be found.

Since the purpose of the Fifth Reunion is to weaken Qufu's cultural status, how could it be possible to allow Tokyo to be built in Lu?

But on the surface, the fifth reunion did not say that it was OK, nor did it say that it was not OK. Wang Long just asked a sentence to the eagerly anticipated Kong Zhi and others.

"Shan Tai swallowed the West China, suppressed the South Heavenly Pillar, drove the Song Dynasty in the Middle, and was the leader of the Five Mountains, and Qufu was also a holy place, but..."

"Shan Tai is still in the hands of the Red Eyebrow Bandits, and it is high above the corner. Qufu has the risk of drums ringing at any time. How can it be the capital?"

...

No one can refute the excuse that Wu Lun found. Although it has been two years since the Red Eyebrow leader Fan Chong was captured and imprisoned, and although the remnants of the Red Eyebrows were defeated from Qufu half a year ago, the Red Eyebrows Army's banner is still there. Xu Xuan led thousands of troops to Mount Tai and continued to resist stubbornly.

"The red eyebrows rose from Mount Tai, and now they return to Mount Tai, which is really sad."

In early April of the fourth year of Wude, Di Wulun left Qufu and walked north into the boundary of Taishan County. All he saw was poor. The situation in Taishan County was worse than that of Huaibei, which almost became a ghost. Red Eyebrows rose, Red Eyebrows left, and Red Eyebrows returned, but Mount Tai was always in chaos. The desperate people hid in the dense forest with this raised hilly area on the Shandong Peninsula, attacked merchants and even dared to attack small-scale troops!

Now, with the return of Red Eyebrows, the reshuffle of the thieves on Mount Tai and the remnants of the country has become a major problem for the local area.

The fifth reunion has already transferred several partial generals and captains, including Ju Wuba, to attack from several directions, but he is very clear that it is just a symptom. This time, the fifth reunion wants to treat the root cause!

When the imperial lord arrived in Taishan County, a minister who was called came and met with the fifth reunion.

"Sinner Wang Hong, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The visitor was the old acquaintance of the fifth reunion, Wang Mang's cousin, Wang Hong, the former chief of the East County.

"Why is Doctor Wang guilty?"

The fifth reunification helped the gray-haired "old minister of the three dynasties". Although Wang Hong served in the Han Dynasty, Xin and Wei Dynasty, he was definitely not a slave of the three surnames. Every time he changed the dynasty, he had his own difficulties.

When the Han Dynasty was still there, Wang Hong was a famous minister and dared to scold his lover Dong Xian in front of Emperor Ai of Han.

When the Xin Dynasty was established, although Wang Hong was a royal family, he was suspicious of Wang Mang because he did not support this matter. He was originally the second-person of the Wang family, and was driven out of the court and became an official in Dongjun. He was still afraid that Wang Mang, who had a perverted personality, would be killed one day, so Wang Hong always had a poison bottle hanging around his neck...

However, when the fifth reunion looked closely, he found that the medicine bottle on Wang Hong's neck was finally gone.

There is no way. After the demise of the new dynasty, Wang Hong surrendered to Diwulun, hoping to get protection from the Wei army, but Diwulun only regarded him as an abandoned son. Later, Chimei captured Puyang, and Wang Hong was unwilling to be humiliated and decided to commit suicide by drinking medicine...

However, the poison had long been replaced by his nephew's nephew's mother. Wang Hong was captured, and his uncle and nephew also met Wang Mang, who had changed his name and hid in the red eyebrows.

It was not until the main force of the Red Eyebrow was destroyed that Wang Hong was rescued by the Wei army. The fifth reunion probably felt ashamed of Puyang's affairs. He was granted a title of uncle and appointed him as the Guanglu doctor, allowing Wang Hong to recuperate in Dongjun...

When he was summoned again today, Wang Hong was also nervous, not knowing why it was for? Although there was no medicine bottle hanging around his neck, there was indeed a poison hidden in the small bag sewn in his sleeve. If the emperor regretted it and wanted to eradicate the remnants of the Wang family, Wang Hong would not let anyone do anything and die in front of Emperor Wei!

But I heard the fifth reunion say: "I invite Doctor Wang to come today, and I really want to ask about the Red Eyebrows of Mount Tai."

Wang Hong immediately smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have not been able to protect Puyang, and I have been captured by Red Eyebrows for several months. How dare I speak lightly?"

The fifth reunion shook his head: "In the late Xin period, Wang Mang was acting rebelliously, and the county was acting recklessly. Only the servant Wang guarded the East County and protected the 300,000 households for more than a while."

At that time, the fifth reunion was in the Wei County next door, and he was very keen on the neighbors. Although Dongjun had a lot of red eyebrows, the main reason was not Wang Hong, but Wang Mang, neighboring counties, and the Yellow River, which often got angry!

The fifth reunion told Wang Hong: "I have decided to repair the new Yellow River road and build a dike to prevent Yanzhou from being affected by floods again. If the people in the river are built, they will use 100,000 red-eyed soldiers from the river."

Wang Hong was very relieved when he heard this. When he was in Dongjun, he wrote a letter to Wang Mang every year, saying that if he sat there and watched the Yellow River continue to make trouble, something big would definitely happen to the downstream. No matter how many methods Wang Hong used to calm the people, as long as the Yellow River is riotous, it would produce tens of thousands of refugees, and they were all the new force of the Red Eyebrows.

"Now, your Majesty's holy virtue, as long as you control the source of the Yellow River, it will be a blessing for the counties along the river!"

"It's not easy to make the river calmer on the new road. How easy is it to completely rectify it?" Wu Lun shook his head. The management of the Yellow River is a million-level human resources project, and it involves quite complex plans. Now he can only make small repairs and make small repairs. Before the world is unified, the Yellow River will not make big news. That's all.

The fifth reunion said: "Although the river is temporarily safe, the remnants of the Red Eyebrows gathered on Mount Tai. At that time, Fan Chong and others also relied on hundreds of people to set off their power. I was worried that the Red Eyebrows would revive and rush to Yanzhou again, so I asked the doctor for a question!"

Seeing that the emperor was sincere and did not seem to be deliberately humiliating him, Wang Hong was a little relieved. He let go of his sleeves and pinched the fingers that the poison pills wanted to stuff into his mouth at any time, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. When Wang Mang was in charge, if the red eyebrows were properly managed, they would not be so big."

Wang Hong said: "At first, the people in various places took risks to become thieves because of hunger, coldness and poverty. They gradually gathered together, but they still hoped to have a good harvest and could return to their hometown. Although the tribes were tens of thousands, Fan Chong and others, led by the leaders, were only called giants, engaged in the three elders, and did not dare to capture the city walls. They only rely on robbery to make a living. They were enough to eat enough every day, and they did not have the ambitions of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. But Wang Mang never understood this principle."

"This year, a great sir, a great sir, went to Yanzhou to handle a case. He was caught by a group of thieves and dared not kill him. Instead, he sent him back to the county. He also hoped that this person could write a letter to Wang Mang to show that he had no intention of rebellion and could not survive. The great sir, but Wang Mang was very angry and thought that this was a deception of the king and put him in jail! He also rebuked the Four Auxiliary and Three Dukes..."

The fifth reunion nodded. He still remembered the content of Wang Mang's edict, and there were two general contents:

The first is to question the bandits gathered in the East: Why not be a starving mantis and be like the mantis?

The second is to tell all civil and military officials: This is no longer an ordinary thief, and he must strike hard!

So the people became more and more afraid. They either stopped telling the truth at first, and insisted that they had only little thieves under their command, and there were no groups of thieves. As for those who told the truth, they would not only be scolded by Wang Mang, but also not be allowed to send troops to suppress them without authorization. They had to wait for the "King Army" of the Central Committee to come, and the result was that the red eyebrows became more and more troubled.

The fifth reunification was given a scrutiny attitude today, so he asked Wang Hong: "This is Wang Mang's mistake. The doctor thought, what should we do at that time to prevent the red eyebrows from becoming rampant?"

Wang Hong said: "The army is only a bad strategy. Where the army is located, thorns arise, not to mention that the new army's military discipline is extremely poor, so the people sing 'It would be better to meet the red eyebrows than to meet the new army'."

"According to the foolish opinions of the criminal ministers, the best policy at that time was to listen to the public's carriage more and reduce taxes and taxes."

Wang Hong bowed again: "At that time, Wang Mang had no compassion for the people, and the Xinmang officials had no financial ability to implement it, but Your Majesty could! A little restraint of the Yellow River and implement the military farming method, so that hundreds of thousands of refugees could live in peace and a way out, and he could cut off the thieves to help. The red eyebrows and remnants of Mount Tai would become less and less, and eventually be defeated."

"It's wonderful." The fifth reunion praised: "Indeed, it is the matter of the lieutenant to eliminate the bandits."

"But light taxes and taxes, organize military farms, and supervise the implementation of each county is the matter of the governor of the state."

"I'll ask the prince to be the governor of Yanzhou for trial!

...

"In the past, Confucius passed by Mount Tai, and then he had the idea of ​​'harsh governments being fiercer than tigers'. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of Lu would rather die in the mouths of the evil tigers of Mount Tai than go to the Three Huans to harsh governments, and now it is the same."

"If there is no harsh policy outside, if you are not allowed to organize households and the people are not appropriate, why bother to go to the mouth of the tiger? I hope the governor of the king can help me and eliminate the 'tigers' in Yanzhou!"

When the fifth car left Taishan County, Wang Hong, the governor of Yanzhou who was taking office, looked at the heavy seal on his waist and felt a little confused. His emotions were very complicated.

I have served for three dynasties and finally received the gratitude of the important task.

I was moved by the fifth relationship and did not care about my own clan and surname and gave me credit.

But more of them are worried about whether he can do the governor of Yanzhou well. Can he, a remnant of the previous dynasty, be able to order the prefects of various counties? Can the generals who were ordered to attack Mount Tai give themselves face? If the matter in Yanzhou is ruined, how can we be worthy of the high hopes of the fifth reunion?

Wang Hong was extremely entangled, his hand was cage in his sleeve. After hesitating for a long time, he took out the poison - the doctor promised Wang Hong that he would definitely die this time! This time he would definitely!

Then, throw it on the ground and step on your feet!

Wang Hong bowed far away to the fifth lord, and the fifth lord also lifted the curtain and looked back at the majestic Daizong.

There is no arrogance of being "really short", only humility and admiration.

For thousands of years, Mount Tai has quietly looked down at the world. It saw the crying of the harsh government and the tears of the master after reaching the top, and also witnessed the glory and glory of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu of the Fengshan period and the repeated Fengshan periods. It also had the sweat shed from the shoulders of the mountaineering man, and the red eyebrows soldier who dripped his red clay on his forehead!

But Mount Tai is speechless, just as the poem says: Mount Tai rocks, pine trees, and cypress trees.

Putting down the curtain of the car, Di Wulun felt that this was probably the last time he had been in Lu.

"It's enough to not have to climb up to you to show off your power, calm the war, return to stability, and witness the ending of this story of rise and fall."
Chapter completed!
