Three Kingdoms

On Lushan Mountain, in the Feilong Pavilion, Sima Hui and Pang De were chatting happily.

As two people who are quite old, they are open-minded and can let go of many things, but they really don’t want to take what they have learned throughout their lives into the ground like this.

If Pang Degong inherited the tradition of Huang Laoxue, then Sima Hui is the successor of ancient classics.

If there is ancient classics, there will naturally be modern classics.

The initial point of divergence between ancient classics and modern classics was the moment when Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucian scholars.

Li Si, who was the highest civil servant in the Qin State at that time, reported to the First Emperor of Qin: "Anyone who is a historian who is not a chronicler of the Qin Dynasty should be burned, and whoever is not a doctorate official in the world dares to collect poems, books, and hundreds of schools of thought, and they should all be kept in the comfort of the collection." That. Anyone who dares to utter poems and calligraphy abandons the market, claiming that the ancients are not the same as today. Anyone who is aware of it and refuses to do so will be guilty of the same crime. Under the order not to burn for thirty days, whales will be the city's den, and those who do not leave will be treated with medical and divination seeds. The Book of Trees. If you want to learn the law, take the officials as your teachers."

Under such a policy, the poems, books, and other works of hundreds of schools of thought hidden in many people's homes were "exercised, kept, comforted, mixed, and burned." Only "Books on Medicine, Divination, and Tree Planting" were pardoned and could be passed down. .

Therefore, the study of classics suffered a lot at that time, and a large part of the limited collection of classics belonged to the royal collection of Qin Shihuang at that time, which was hidden in the Alpan Palace at that time.

Everyone knows what happened after that. Yes, this small collection of books still did not escape the bad luck. It was burned completely in the fire of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu...

Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, in order to restore the scriptures, we relied on Dr. Liu Jing, who survived the war and was hired by the government, to compile a new set of Confucian scriptures through his own memory and the dictation of others. It is called Jinwen Jingxue.

The ancient classics were those parts of the scriptures that were secretly buried by some great Confucian scholars during the Qin Dynasty, but were rediscovered by later generations and brought to light again. For example, Liu Biao's ancestor, King Lu Gong, is said to be famous for the excavation and discovery of a batch of Confucius' scriptures.

Sima Hui is the successor of the ancient classics. In Sima Hui's view, only the ancient classics are the real scriptures, while the modern classics are incomplete because they are mixed with too many personal things. It is neither the true scripture nor the complete scripture.

Therefore, when mixed scriptures like Zheng Jing came out and became the mainstream of Confucian classics, Sima Hui naturally couldn't sit still and found Pang Degong.

Now that he saw that his plan with Pang Degong was also being carried out step by step, Sima Hui felt that what he had learned could be inherited by someone, and he couldn't help but feel good and very relieved.

The two of them were chatting, and suddenly Sima Hui pointed to the person coming up from the bottom of the mountain and said, "Okay! Isn't this Mr. Huang? It's amazing that he has reached this point!"

The three of them were very happy to meet each other.

Sima Hui smiled and said: "Okay! How is Mr. Huang doing lately? Why are you here now?"

Huang Chengyan also smiled, pointed at Sima Hui and said, "You are allowed to come, but you are not allowed to come? Pang Gong hasn't spoken yet, so you are the guest and the host?"

"Okay! There is some truth in what you said, but..." Sima Hui was not angry either. He was used to fighting. He smiled and shook his head and said, "...I am asking about it on behalf of Mr. Pang, and I will tell you what he wants in the future." , come quickly!"

Pang Degong laughed at the side: "Why do I need you to take my place..."

After laughing for a while, we gradually started talking about serious matters.

Sima Hui didn't shy away from it. Huang Chengyan agreed to participate in this matter anyway, so he talked frankly about his visits to various houses during this period, and then mentioned the newcomer at the foot of the mountain-Xu Fu.

Xu Fu should also be called Xu Shu. Sima Hui also happened to meet him when he went to Yingchuan. He found that although this man was impulsive and committed a crime, he had also changed his mind and was determined not to use a gun or stick to show off his personal bravery but to wholeheartedly To learn.

And I found that although this person didn't have much foundation before, he was indeed very fast in learning things and very hardworking, so he was moved and asked him to come to Pang Degong with a famous assassin and let Pang Degong meet him.

Unexpectedly, Pang Degong actually let Xu Shu stay, which surprised Sima Hui. It also showed that Pang Degong was at least willing to impart some knowledge to him.

Pang Degong also nodded and said: "Although he is rough on the outside, he is delicate in mind. Although he has not learned much, he has studied deeply, so he stayed and observed a few things."

This is what it should be, at least it has a good start, right? So Sima Hui also agreed, smiled and nodded, signaling to Huang Chengyan that he had almost finished talking and it was Huang Chengyan's turn.

Huang Chengyan was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still told Pang De Company and Sima Hui.

In fact, even though Huang Chengyan always smiles and smiles, he actually has a lot of worries. Among these worries, the most important one is the problem of the Huang family having no successor.

Huang Chengyan originally had children, but the infant mortality rate was very high in ancient times and they died young. Nowadays, Huang Yueying can be regarded as a daughter of old age. Although she is very smart and is loved by Huang Chengyan, within the Huang family, they are unwilling to recognize a woman to succeed the head of the Huang family, especially Huang Yueying is still Not yet married, which made some people who originally supported Huang Chengyan even more worried.

After all, Huang Yueying's future marriage situation is uncertain. This instability of the future has caused some people who originally supported Huang Chengyan to secretly turn to Jiangxia Huangzu's side.

Although Huang Zu is not from Huang Chengyan's branch, his surname is Huang after all, and he has some connections on weekdays. Although he doesn't know much about making things, he still needs to choose one of Huang Zu and Huang Yueying as his future plan. If so, many people still support Huang Zu. After all, he is also the governor of Jiangxia, right?

In fact, Huang Chengyan is very fond of marrying Pang Tong. After all, the Pang family and the Huang family have good connections, and Pang Tong is also very smart. This will be very helpful in stabilizing the inheritance of the Huang family.

It's a pity that Pang Tong and Huang Yueying are familiar with each other, but they won't be able to go together for a while.

Pang Tong was not very interested in the art of making utensils, and naturally had no intention of learning. Huang Yueying also said that it would be better to marry anyone than Pang Tong. The reason was that she herself was a bit darker, so she married someone who was darker than herself. , then are you still alive...

So I just dragged it on, but seeing Huang Yueying getting older and Huang Chengyan himself getting older, this matter became more and more difficult, and gradually became the biggest hidden danger of the Huang family, and it might break out that day. come out.

As the head of the Huang family, he must at least find a good way out for the group of people who have followed him for many years while he can still control the family to a certain extent. This is also his obligation and his responsibility.

Therefore, Huang Chengyan had an idea today and wanted to discuss it with Mr. Pang De...
