"Mr. Xia, did nothing happen last night?"

The next morning, Ren Hong took the basin brought by Xia Dingmao and still kept asking.

Because it was just dawn, something happened to Shang Guanlizhong.

Feng Zi, the chief of Huo family, was in disgrace and was not allowed to take the car. It is said that he was driven back to his hometown in Hedong, Huo family by the general - he walked.

At least three servants died in Huo Mansion last night. The body was carried out this morning. When the inner room was asking carefully, the minister of the family said lightly: "Expert Laws."

Xia Dingmao didn't say anything, but patted himself and said, "Aren't I good? What can I do? You gentleman, you don't know. Lao Xia, I seem generous, but in fact I hold the most grudge. Remember who treats me well and who treats me badly, clearly. If you suffer grievances, you will definitely appeal to you."

The gentleman is young and energetic. I heard that he had quarreled with the general's son-in-law Fan Mingyou in the court before. If he had any disagreement with the Huo Mansion for his own affairs today, then Xia Dingmao would be dead to redeem him.

After finally sending Ren Hong, Xia Dingmao turned around to the stable with his hands behind his back.

The carrots are gaining weight, eating and drinking, and just pulling horse manure balls all over the floor.

The slaves bought by Xia Dingmao went to the market a few days ago were shoveling. Speaking of which, Ren Jun was really good to them. He had a lot of freedom for three years and even paid 500 yuan a month.

"You go to rest, I'll do it."

Xia Dingmao smiled and asked his servants to eat Gong food. He watched others not paying attention and put a ball of horse manure in a small bowl, and even smelled it.

"The color is so good, well, it doesn't taste much."

"If you put it on the roof tiles, it will cause the sun to be exposed to the sun for seven or eight days, and the moisture will be completely dried and the smell will be dissipated."

Then you can grind it into fine powder and add it to the bag of cumin spices that Huo came to ask for next time, stir it up and it will not be noticed at all.

Xia Dingmao knew that some slaves of the big guys would drink a sip when serving hot soup and then spit in some saliva when they were scolded by their masters.

Then even if you are beaten and scolded again next time, it doesn't matter. The whip is whipped on your body, but a slight smile appears in your mouth.

"You mediocre master who eats my saliva, why are you proud of?"

For similar things, when Xia Dingmao was in the Xuanquan, he met officials who he hated, such as the supervisor who refused to promote a gentleman, who had done bad things.

This is a secret. Xia Dingmao hid it carefully, and even a gentleman didn't know it.

Thinking of the most beloved daughter of the powerful general, who would soon eat horse manure and roast lamb with oil in his mouth and praise his delicious appearance, Xia Dingmao became proud.

Maybe the General's wife would also taste a few bites.

Xia Dingmao was even more happy, shoveling the horse manure happily, and humming a chant in the tone.

"Ibis, fish are black. What should I eat? Eat eggplant. If you don't eat it, you won't vomit it, and you will ask the person to punish you."

A big man like a gentleman has a big man's career and a way of revenge.

But our despicable little people also have the means of pickling the little people's unfair voice!

...

On the other side, the inner door had just opened for a while, but Zhang Chang came to visit again. After going home to wash, he looked like a man and smiled elegantly.

"Marty Xi'an, I... didn't lose my composure last night?"

Yes, you lost your composure in front of me.

Ren Hong said no, so he invited Zhang Chang in. Last night, Zhang Chang drank too much and the guests were too polite. They failed to communicate as they wished, so they only had a brief chat. Now Zhang Chang presented the book in his sleeve with both hands to Ren Hong.

"Yesterday, the Marquis of Xi'an said that he wanted to borrow "The Legend of Zuo in the Spring and Autumn Period". Although I don't have much in my house, I still brought a volume."

Ren Hong pretended to be hypocritical: "I should come to invite the classics of the ancestors in person."

The two of them entered the study room as they spoke, which was the same as the study rooms of many wealthy families. Although they were large, they were empty.

"I just moved here, and I have time to collect books." Ren Hong was a little embarrassed. After asking Zhang Chang to sit down, he opened the bamboo slips with anticipation.

I really miss him. When he was reading in his previous life, he liked "Zuo Zhuan" very much. He read it at least three times, but now he can read it again. I wonder what will it feel? Maybe he can give a stinky and long reading review like reading Records of the Grand Historian. I am so happy!

But after he untied the rope and stretched the bamboo slips, his face froze and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"Zigao."

Ren Hong raised his head stiffly: "Can the words in your book be...a big seal script?"

...

Ren Hongneng recognized Han Lishu because it was really not very different from the traditional Chinese characters in later generations.

Although the strokes and characters of the Qin Dynasty were a bit strange, Ren Hong could recognize them even though they were still very familiar.

But this large seal script, especially the local texts that are not known to be Qi or Lu, have been lost for hundreds of years. They do not know Ren Hong, and Ren Hong does not know them either!

Zhang Chang disagreed and said with a smile: "People at that time often called "Gongyang" and "Jiliang" the spring and autumn of the present text, while "Zuo Zhuan" the spring and autumn of the ancient text, of course, it is recorded in ancient texts!"

Needless to say, the "Spring and Autumn Annals" was written by Confucius, but the classical scriptures are concise and profound, with only more than 10,000 words, and it is difficult to understand without comments. Since the Warring States Period, the books that annotate "Spring and Autumn Annals" mainly include the three schools of Zuo, Gongyang and Guliang.

In short, the transmissions made by the three schools are very different. The spread of Gongyang in Qi belongs to Qixue, and the teachings of Juliang are mainly spread in Lu, and belongs to Luxue. At the beginning, the essence of oral transmission was passed down for several generations, and it was written into words.

Gongyang tends to be conservative, while Juliang is more conservative, and there are great differences in the interpretation of every sentence in the Spring and Autumn Period. As the school expands, the two sides will fight each other when they meet, and it has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Gongyang sent two talents, Gongsun Hong and Dong Zhongshu, one was the white-clothed prime minister in the court, and the other was excellent in theory and motivated Emperor Wu of Han with "great unification". This promoted the officialization of Confucianism, abolished all schools of thought, and commended the Six Classics. From then on, Gongyang became the first doctor of the Five Classics and studied hard in Qi.

However, because he did not know how to adapt to Emperor Wu of Han and was excluded by him as a heresy, Liang Chunqiu did not get into a doctorate position and could only develop in the wild with difficulty.

However, Lu Xue is still very energetic and is trying hard to penetrate into the court. Today, the Great Honglu Wei Xian is the leader of Lu Xue and the leader of virtuous literature. Confucius' twelfth generation grandson and great scholar Kong Anguo is still alive, but the Gongyang School has withered a lot.

Although Qi Xue Lu Xue is very lively, they are all from Guandong after all. When they have a common enemy, they will still collude together.

In the late period of Emperor Wu of Han, these two families began to unite with common interests, forming a virtuous literature that is full of the court and the country today. They let go of academic disputes, and first defeated the utilitarian ministers together, so that the Han Dynasty could return to moral politics, and restore peace with the Huns was important.

Zuo Zhuan seems much more Buddhist than these two schools.

Zhang Chang said: "The "Zuoshi Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period" I know is passed down by Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping. Zhang Cang passed down by Jia Yi, and Jia Yi passed down his grandson Jia Jia, who was appointed as the Zhao man Guan Gong. Guan Gong was made a doctor of Zuo Zhuan by Liu De, the king of Hejian Xian. His son became a doctor. He was called Xiao Guan Gong, and he was my Yue Weng."

This is why Zhang Chang was able to join Zuo Zhuan's small circle.

The reason why it is called a small circle is because Zuo Zhuan has been passed down for so many generations, but it has not yet translated Zuo Zhuan, which is written in large seal script, into official script! It is quite a bit like having to interpret the Bible in Latin. The threshold is so high that it would be strange if it is not niche.

It is said that a huge world is not more than ten people who have passed the Zuo Zhuan. It is really like a thread.

The Gongyang and the Liang family also looked down on Zuo Zhuan, the cousin who claimed to be earlier than their age and closer to the original meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Zhang Chang had no choice but to spread his hands: "The Gongyang and the Liang families directly refused to admit that Zuo Zhuan was a biography of the Spring and Autumn Period. They said that what we hold was a book called "Zuo Shuqiu", just a historical book, and there were even those who denounced it as a fake book."

This trick is to remove the resources from the bottom of the pot, and directly expel potential competitors from the Spring and Autumn Period, so you won’t be afraid that they will come to grab their jobs.

Although Zhang Chang learned a little because of Yue Weng, he was not very interested in promoting Zuo Zhuan. He was impressed by the lush food of the Hou family in Xi'an yesterday. He wanted to have another meal today, so he explained the difficult seal script for Ren Hong.

"In the first year of the spring of King Zhou, Zhou, did not write to the throne, and the Duke of Sanyue and the father of Zi Yi, were accompanied by Miezi Ke..."

"Stop and stop!"

When I read the first paragraph, Ren Hong felt something was wrong: "Zigao, you... are there no out-of-context sentences in this book?"

A break-out sentence, that is, a break-out sentence. There are no punctuation marks these days. The same sentence, different break-out sentences have different meanings.

Zhang Chang felt a little embarrassed: "I will not hide it from the Marquis of Xi'an. Those who studied "Zuo Zhuan" before were mostly ancient characters and ancient sayings. Jia Yi first made the exegesis, and in the following generations, they only passed on their exegesis."

Exegesis is the meaning of each character, which is equivalent to annotation.

Ren Hong began to understand the embarrassing situation of the Zuo Zhuan School: "Without chapters, then there is no such thing as a rule?"

Meaning is the subtle meaning in a passage, trying to reproduce the meaning Confucius wanted to express - in fact, it is the private goods stuffed into each school.

Otherwise, how could the Confucian classics and the Spring and Autumn Period be Zhang Pi? Dong Zhongshu relied on his desperate efforts to cater to Emperor Wu of Han to complete the Confucianism's ultimate victory over Huang Lao and Mohism, and swallowed the Legalists and realized the convergence of Confucianism and Law.

However, his little intention of sucking the response of heaven and man into it was discovered by Emperor Wu of Han, and his fellow disciple Gongsun Hong was in trouble, so he could not use it more.

“It is indeed…so.”

Zhang Chang nodded. This is the embarrassment of each descendant of the Zuo Zhuan School when he wanted to join the gang. The three most important steps for studying the scriptures: breaking out of context, essays, and understanding the meaning and principles. It is indispensable, but "Zuo Zhuan" has only one.

In addition, he could only interpret it in ancient texts, so even the doctor of Zuo Zhuan from Hejian, Da Guangong, could only grasp the general purpose of "Zuo Shi", but could not fully interpret it, let alone put forward attractive meanings and complete dissemination, and then gained favor from those in power and entered the court.

Just quarreling with Gong Yang and the trolls, they were completely defeated.

Ren Hong now feels that Zhang Cang and Jia Yi will not talk about it. The Confucian scholars who passed down Zuo Zhuan were really confused after several generations.

Or, they did not expect to use this book that interprets the scriptures based on historical facts to cater to the needs of real politics, but instead restrict it to the study and enjoy it alone.

"It's my place to entertain myself."

Yes, in history, a complete version of the Zuo Zhuan of ancient Chinese was discovered in the secret palace and promoted it. It was Liu Xin who started the movement of ancient Chinese classics. Let alone Liu Xin, was his father Liu Xiang born?

However, Ren Hong was not angry at him for not fighting. The more Zuo Zhuan's party, the happier he became!

"In this way, this "Zuo Zhuan" is now an antique vase that has not been added to the water plug in it?"

"Strange goods are easy to live in, but strange goods are easy to live in!"
