The people of Hangzhou guessed correctly that King Luo Bin was indeed the adopted son of Chai Shao.
In ancient times, the relationship between adopted father and adopted son was rare.
In many cases, it is quite embarrassing to call someone a godfather, because it is tantamount to disrespecting the ancestors in disguise. Not to mention in modern times, everyone will immediately understand the word "godfather" when it appears.
A smile.
But again, everything has a background. In the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and...the last aftermath of these four dynasties - the Republic of China, the most popular thing for people was to treat their brothers as brothers.
This has been the main way of organizing among the people in the past hundreds of years. Pay homage to Mr. Guan and establish a small circle - that's it. Even in Europe, where Mr. Guan is not popular, there are "reading clubs" in major universities.
Small circle organizations such as "Alumni Association", "Classmate Association", "XX Society", "XX Poetry Society" are also extremely popular. It can be said that they have controlled human society for hundreds of years. This trend has continued until
The emergence of the Internet in modern society quietly began to disintegrate.
And before the small circle era...
During the Warring States, Qin and Han dynasties, the way people dealt with each other - first of all, of course, it was not to pay homage to Mr. Guan, who was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty...
In the way of social organization at that time, the upper level was composed of scholars, princes, disciples, and students. This is similar to the modern cyber self-media big v-fan system, while the lower level was an elite manager who was capable of both literary and military skills.
A county is like Liu Bang. In short, one person controls thousands of people.
Between the era of the Confucian princes and retainers, and the era of Guan Erye's small circle of worshipers in later generations, there was the "buqu" system in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The number of subordinates a person can control is right between the two.
The main way in which this tribe system came into being was during the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, after hundreds of years of chaos in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, war orphans were everywhere. Some adopted fathers and adopted sons either out of conscience or population needs.
Relationships appeared in large numbers. In stories similar to Hua Mulan, some historians have speculated that Hua Mulan must not have gone out alone at that time, but brought a group of subordinates and her father's adopted son, and then went to follow
The emperor fights.
In other words, it is not one person, but a group of people! As the daughter of the Hua family of the Tu Emperor's family, and a junior officer, of course she had her own independent tent when she went to fight, and she was surrounded by fellow villagers, so she did not create a gang.
Case.
However, this trend is actually still popular at present - if Ouyang Xun, the famous god of regular script, had not been lucky enough to be adopted, he would most likely have died in troubled times.
But now that Luo Bin has grown up and has achieved his own achievements and prestige in the military, he certainly does not need to rely on adoption to survive, and... because he has Li Sheng as his master, he does not need to make any circles or connections for himself.
The people in Hangzhou also guessed that the reason why they worshiped Chai Shao as their adoptive father was because of Ma Zhou...
After-dinner gossip is not always fallacy, but it is often far from the truth... Of course, King Luo Bin would not be so bored to talk to Chai Shao about that kind of thing. After talking, he recruited a former Xianbei officer...
Chai Shaoyi raised his eyebrows, "This is a good idea. If the Xianbei people move south, we can't make them all slaves. We still have to promote some of them according to the situation..."
Seeing the general's approval, King Luo Bin also breathed a sigh of relief. He even thought that this decision was a bit risky. At that time, he felt that he couldn't let the man go for some reason. But since Duke Qiao nodded, nothing bad would happen.
Compared to these...
After reporting on the martial arts meeting and the recruitment of a Xianbei man, King Luo Bin stood up and saluted, and then left Chai Shao's room to retire.
But at this moment, Chai Shao seemed to suddenly remember something, and waved to King Luo Bin not to leave in a hurry.
King Luo Bin stopped and looked surprised, "What else do you have to say to your foster father?"
"Hmm...it's nothing. But some time ago, Lingzhou Academy built four magic weapons and distributed them to Anxi Protector, Lu Guo Gongyingzhai, Chang'an, and us here, one for you.
Try it for me."
"Magic weapon? This..."
King Luo Bin is a bit unbelievable. Books like Huainanzi and other strange and mythical books are all... After all, the orthodox and mainstream ideology in the world is still Confucianism. Now it just adds the "scientific spirit" of a holy king.
.
And whether it is the "scientific spirit" of Confucianism or the Holy Kings, they have an attitude of "respecting ghosts and gods and keeping away from them" when it comes to myths and legends.
In this case……
The legendary "Tai'a Sword" and "Pure Jun Sword" and other magical weapons should be treated as legends... and just laughed off.
...then here comes the problem.
Lingzhou College is one of the two earliest colleges built in the Tang Dynasty. There are long-established scholars in the college, such as Mr. Wang Fuchou who is now in Lingzhou; there are also emerging elites taught by the Holy King himself, such as Lingzhou College today
Wei Ziyu, the head of the mountain.
No matter which of these two groups it is...
They probably don't know how to use mysterious "magic weapons". In fact, they are just so-called magic weapons that are relatively rare and of little use.
certainly……
In the past, King Luo Bin also heard that His Majesty collected fairy elixirs, famous swords, swords, etc., but the former was said to have been thrown away after being advised by the Holy King long ago, and the latter?...The latter was even more
There is no reason for it, because the Tang Dynasty can now open steel mills all over the country, farmers can use the best farm tools, and the imperial army can wear the best armor and the best swords. It is said that it is precisely because of the sword hidden in the home of the Holy King.
I once easily cut off the famous swords and swords collected by His Majesty - in other words...
If you really want to find some magic weapon, of course you have to find the Holy King, but didn’t the Holy King spread the method of steelmaking to the world long ago?
Why don't you find an egg? There are famous swords everywhere...
Nowadays, with the steel produced in the Tang Dynasty, any hoe can easily break the so-called wrought iron swords and fine iron knives of the past.
In this case……
If this is the case, then what happened to Lingzhou College?
King Luo Bin was just a little stunned at first, feeling...
What Chai Shao said had no sense of reality at all, and when I thought about it carefully, it turned out to be... outrageous and unreasonable.
This is not to think that Lingzhou College is unreasonable, but that Lingzhou College...how could it cause such an incident?
King Luo Bin secretly cursed that in his opinion, this magic weapon was no different from the Bodhisattva, the magic medicine that could cure all diseases.
However, upon seeing this, Chai Shao smiled slightly, showing a hint of cunning.
"Don't even think about asking me about this matter, I don't know either!"
