Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: Ancient Star Chasers
And just when Wei Xu promised Zhang Yan that he was willing to be Zhang Yan's insider in Bingzhou, Liu Ming, who was in Youzhou, finally received a visit from Lord Zongzheng Liu Yu.
Liu Ming warmly and solemnly invited Master Zongzheng Liu Yu to enter the house. After the two exchanged polite greetings for a while, Liu Yu brought the topic to the purpose of his visit to Liu Ming.
"Brother Guangxian of the Han Dynasty, I heard that you suddenly established a new department and enacted a new law in Youzhou. This is against the laws of the imperial court and inconsistent with the rules of the ancestors. I wonder if this is possible?" Liu Yu asked with concern.
Liu Ming did not immediately reply to Liu Yu's inquiry. Instead, he said indifferently: "Brother Bo'an, that's just a trivial matter. We can talk about it later. I have great good news now, a great thing."
, I want to share it with my brother.”
Liu Yu said with some displeasure: "Xianguang brother of Han Dynasty, what you said is wrong. It is the law of the court and the rules of the ancestors. What a big thing it is, how can it be a small matter? If you, a good brother, do this, you only need to put those things into consideration.
Change the illegal things back. Since you have the right to open a government and establish accounts, and you and I are both Han clan clan members, and we are both working hard for the great Han Dynasty, how can Brother Yu still hold you accountable? Why use it?
Are there other things you can use to distract me?"
Liu Ming smiled but did not answer, and clapped his hands a few times. When the family members who had been waiting outside heard the signal, they immediately brought in the things that had been prepared. The family member was seen holding a tray with the things on the plate.
, covered with red cloth. After a while, the family member steadily walked towards Liu Yu and Liu Ming.
Seeing that Liu Ming insisted on doing this, Liu Yu became somewhat curious and wanted to see what it was that made Liu Ming so confident and proud. As for the new law, Liu Ming couldn't escape if he didn't leave.
Let’s talk about it later, don’t rush it.
Liu Ming saw that Liu Yu's curiosity was aroused, so with a smile, he stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth on the tray, and handed the contents to Liu Yu.
When Liu Ming opened the red cloth, Liu Yu had already seen that what was covered under the red cloth was just a book. Although books bound with this paper are relatively rare nowadays, he has read a lot of books.
What kind of book has he never seen before? At that time, Liu Yu felt that Liu Ming was making a bit of a fuss.
But Liu Yu then thought again: Impossible. It's just a book. Before he knew Han Guangxiandi, he had copied several canons using the paper Han Guangxiandi sold. Although the paper was
Books like this are relatively rare among the common people, but they are not uncommon among the royal family members. With Han Guangxian's unparalleled talent, intelligence and wit, how could he exaggerate so much about a book? Could there be a hidden secret in it?
It was Brother Guangxian of the Han Dynasty who hinted to me that he had meritorious service in making paper, and his merits would last for a long time, which would be enough to offset his fault of establishing new laws.
In this state of confusion, Liu Yu took the book handed over by Liu Ming. But when Liu Yu looked at it, he saw three large characters "Notes on Three Rites" written on the cover of the book. Liu Yu
As soon as I saw it, I got angry and thought to myself: What a big tone. Who dares to randomly annotate the "Three Rites"? It's okay to deceive others. I have read many scriptures, how can I be deceived by others?
.This "Book of Rites" has always been passed down orally from teacher to teacher, without any annotation. Moreover, the theory of "Three Rites" was only proposed by the great Confucian scholar Ma Jia (Ma Rong) and the great sage Lu (Lu Zhi) in the court.
The collective name for the three books "Zhou Rites", "Rituals", and "Book of Rites". Even as the master of Confucian classics of the Ma family, he only annotated the "Mourning Clothes". This is what the madman dared to call it.
"Notes on Three Rites".
Liu Yuyao thought about the figure of Duke Kang Cheng, and opened the "Notes on Three Rites" with trembling hands. He looked at the contents of the book carefully. Every word was exquisite, and every sentence was incisive. It was wonderful, but just when Liu Yu was about to sink into the study of Confucian classics.
While in the middle of the ocean, Liu Ming spoke from the side: "Brother Bo'an, is this thing good for me? Brother Bo'an, are you willing to share it?"
Only then did Liu Yu wake up and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay. It's such a treasure. Now that Brother Yu knows that Brother Xian has this treasure book, even if Brother Xian doesn't want to share it with Brother Yu, Brother Yu will shamelessly ask for it."
This time Brother Xian shared this treasure book with Brother Yu, and Brother Yu accepted Brother Xian’s love. After Brother Yu returned, he immediately burned incense, cleansed his face, took a bath and changed clothes, and copied this book respectfully. This would never harm Brother Xian’s treasure.
Every bit of the book."
Liu Ming laughed when he heard this and said quickly: "Brother Bo'an, why do you need to copy it? This book is a gift from my little brother."
When Liu Yu heard this, he said with excitement: "Hey, a gentleman does not take what others like. Is Brother Yu a person who covets other people's treasures? This book is so precious, it is an important classic of classics and the root of legal principles. Brother Yu can copy it.
I will give one copy as a family heirloom so that my descendants will not deviate from the correct path of Confucian classics. This is the blessing of the foolish brother and the favor of the wise brother. How can the foolish brother accept this book shamelessly?"
When Liu Ming saw Liu Yu's enthusiasm, he knew that all his efforts were in vain. Kang Chenggong was so famous that he had covered up all his proud works. It seemed that he could only mention Liu Yu a little more.
He was confused. At that moment, Liu Ming pointed to the handwriting on the book and said, "Brother Bo'an, couldn't you see how the handwriting on this book is?"
