Three Kingdoms

Outside Pingyang City, the war has been going on for some time. The original mess, potholes, and places where flies were flying around were gradually filled with sand. The dead bodies and the broken limbs were also taken away and buried deeply. Fortunately, the weather temperature was not too high now, otherwise a large amount of lime would be needed to suppress the occurrence of the plague.

The weeds on the official road outside the city have been generally cleared away, but the ragged civilians are like human-shaped barnyard grass, swaying and skinny. When they see Fei Qian's guard of honor, they kneel down from a distance. Next, he kowtowed and stepped aside before going about his farm work...

For these people, they never dare to ask for anything extravagantly. As long as they have a mouthful of food and a field to plant, they have hope of living. However, there are other people who often have unsatisfied desires, as if they can't fill them no matter how much they eat. Dissatisfied with the shallow folds in the stomach.

Fei Qian's motorcade guard of honor arrived ten miles outside Pingyang and stopped.

Wei Liu had some doubts in his mind, and he raised his hands to Fei Qian and said, "I'll go check it out later."

Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "That's all, just wait here."

Wei Liu didn't dare to say anything, so he stepped aside uneasily.

Fei Qian glanced at Wei Liu with the corner of his eye, and said nothing, quietly sitting in the car with his hands folded.

A fragrant car, um, no, it's just a simple car, with three protective panels, the paint is a bit old, and some damage is exposed in some places.

BMW, um, no, just two ordinary variegated horses, riding together, their coats were a little dull, and they were a little laborious and slow to pull the cart.

If it weren't for the fact that Linfen's three elder guards were older, Fei Qian wouldn't have wanted to come by car at all, but this was a courtesy, and he still had to do some of it. However, it felt awkward to let Fei Qian spend his money to make himself fat. What is necessary.

After about half an hour, we saw a pair of carriages and horses coming from a distance. A flag stood in front, with the word "guard" on it fluttering in the wind.

As he got closer, Fei Qian saw an old man sitting in front of the Wei family's carriage. He was dressed in rich clothes and a wide robe with long sleeves. Although his hair was white, his face was still rosy, and his three long beards were hanging in the wind. Floating in the wind, it feels a bit like a fairy in the wind.

Fei Qian got out of the car, took a few steps forward and stood still, smiling and cupping his hands.

Wei's carriage and horses were getting closer and closer, and when they came to a stop near the front, a puff of smoke and dust was raised, coming towards them...

Huang Chengqi lurked behind Yu Fei, frowned, and glanced at Wei Liu beside him.

"I'm old and incapable of doing things. It's really a sin to let Fei Zhonglang stay for a long time!" Wei Wang, the old man sitting on the Wei family's carriage, smiled heartily and had a loud voice, but he said sin on his lips, but there was nothing in his body. He didn't mean to get out of the car, but he cupped his hands with the hand holding the dove stick, which was regarded as a courtesy.

The old man with the dove stick does not need to bow before an official, but just bows his hands.

Fei Qian squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Gong Wei is a virtuous man who governs and educates people. He has worked hard all the way and is really a role model for the younger generation. I wonder if I am lucky enough to ride in the same car?"

In the same car?

Wei Wang thought about it in his heart. Although his smile on the surface did not change, he saw at a glance that the road under his feet was full of loess and dust. The Fei Qian car in front of him was old and broken, and even the paint was peeling off in some places. The whole carriage is simply made up of a piece of wood, without even a brocade mat, and only two horses are used to pull the carriage. This is simply...

Wei Wang couldn't help but increase his contempt by another three points, and he refused to change cars at that moment. How is this kind of carriage different from a humble family? Wouldn't it be a loss of Wei's face if he sat down?

In the Han Dynasty, people were called old at fifty.

For the elderly, the rules of the Han Dynasty are quite good. At fifty, they can eat fine grains and do not serve in the army. At sixty, the government will distribute meat and they will not serve in the army. At seventy, they will receive a dove and stick. If they see an official, they will not bow to him. If there is bullying and disobedience, he will be punished Disrespectful criticism will not be forgiven.

The position of the third elder also requires people to be over fifty, but Wei Wang may not be over seventy at the moment...

Almost all counties and counties in various places have committed some fraud when counting people over fifty years old. The central court and even the emperor often adopted a tacit attitude towards this. The reason for this is not difficult to understand: on the one hand, the false increase in the elderly population does not affect taxes and corvee, and these people will not bear the burden anyway; on the other hand, there are many old people in the countryside, which not only shows that the emperor is wise, but also the local government The outstanding achievements of officials are a good omen for the long-term success of the country.

A car like the one Wei Wang is riding in now is called a push car. The shape is not as big as Fei Qian's carriage, and in this kind of carriage, the old man can sit cross-legged instead of sitting upright, and the wheels are wrapped with cattails to reduce the bumps.

In fact, it's not impossible to change trains at Weiwang, but I'm used to being wrapped in soft brocade cushions, and then immediately sitting upright on a hard board. This is really a big difference.

For example, Fei Qian's car is like a four-wheel tractor, and Wei Wang's car is a Mercedes-Benz smart. It seems clear at a glance...

Therefore, Wei Wang politely declined Fei Qian's invitation, citing the inconvenience in his legs and getting in and out of the car. Fei Qian didn't force it, so he nodded and returned to his car. The group of people staggered back to Pingyang.

When we arrived at the Yamen Hall of Pingyang Mansion, the guests and hosts were seated.

"When Duke Wei was looking at him elegantly, he was a scholar from the east of Hedong and a crowned prince from the north. Today, he is honored with virtue. Qianshi is extremely honored." Fei Qian said some polite words and invited tea.

"It's a ridiculous compliment, it's a ridiculous compliment. I really don't deserve it." Wei Wang brushed three strands of his long beard, raised his head and laughed twice, and said, "Fei Zhonglang has made outstanding contributions. He protected Jing and restored the land. He assisted the king at the top and made peace at the bottom. The people of Limin have the ambition to travel far and wide, which really makes us in the countryside admire us."

Ban Dingyuan?

Are you planning to put a high hat on me or are you planning to define my nature?

Fei Qian cupped his hands and said: "Compared with Qian He's virtue and Dingyuan Hou, he dare not claim his merits. Just seeing that the Han family in the north is gone, he will be stained with fishy smell. Please do your best."

Wei Wang said with a straight face: "No one can be more humble than Fei Zhonglang. Shangjun has been occupied for a long time, the land has been ruined, the crops are ruined, the ethics are unreasonable, people and families have perished, Fei Zhonglang's majestic appearance, elegant appearance, and drive Volunteer soldiers, relieve hangings, save fire and water, make contributions to the country, and be virtuous to the people. Looking at the young talents of Heluo, Fei Zhonglang is the best in the world!"

Although the words are nice to hear, to Fei Qian, to this extent, well, how should I put it... it feels like those marketers in later generations will praise you from beginning to end after entering the door, and even fart - Ah, there is a voice as smooth as silk and bamboo, as smooth as Dove...

Fei Qian tilted his hands upwards to express his respect for the emperor, and said: "This is the emperor's sage. The soldiers are responsible for their lives. They hide their talents at the right time. They don't dare to be greedy for merit! Wei Gong is too praised, too praised." Who knows what this guard is planning now. If he proudly admits it, he might turn around and become arrogant and arrogant.

"Ah... Mr. Fei Qian, you are really... humble and unparalleled in character..." Wei Wang saw that Fei Qian did not take credit for his achievements and did not accept flattery. He couldn't help but think in vain. With the help of drinking tea He glanced at Fei Qian again. I originally thought that Fei Qian was still a young man, and he was very arrogant. If he flattered him more, even if he didn't get carried away, some flaws would inevitably be exposed. However, he didn't expect that Fei Qian was as calm as an old official...

It is said that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had a drink and discussed heroes.

The two of them ate, drank and talked.

At this time, the serving soldier brought the food. Liu Bei found that his thumb was stuck in the dish, and he said angrily: "That's it! What are you doing?!"

The soldier hurriedly explained: "My finger is injured, and the doctor ordered that it be treated with room temperature."

Liu Bei scolded again: "It's your mother's fault! It needs to be kept warm and warm, so why put it in the vegetables! You can just put it in your own hands!!"

The soldier replied: "What your envoy said is true. Before the food was served, I inserted it into my buttocks myself."
