On both sides of the Luo River, ten miles of colorful lanterns illuminate each other, colorful boats sway, and the river is like a silver dragon!
Luoyang City was built on the Luo River, and the Luo River was artificially introduced into the moat. The moat is connected to the Luo River. The Luo River is more than ten feet wide. Because the river water is artificially introduced slowly, it takes two hours to take a boat on the Luo River. You can take a tour around Luoyang City. Because it is at the foot of the Emperor of Kyoto, there has been no war in Luoyang for hundreds of years. The military role of the moat no longer exists, and it has become a romantic place for literati, poets, talents and beauties.
The banks of Luoshui are covered with willows, sweet-scented osmanthus and other landscape trees. Colored lanterns are hung on the willow branches, swaying in the breeze and reflecting in the water, like a brilliant galaxy.
Qin Ge put his hands behind his back and walked on the marble embankment on the bank. He finally had a day off today. At the invitation of Cai Yong during the music class today, Qin Ge came to this famous fireworks river.
Handsome boys and girls were chatting about love by the river, expressing their feelings to each other in front of the river water and lanterns. Talented men and beauties in pink were reciting poems and chatting with each other on the painted boats. The miserable scene of seeking pleasure, drunkenness and dreaming, rampant bandits, raging wars, and starvation and death everywhere seems to be two different worlds from this place. This is a microcosm of the nobles of the Han Dynasty. Even though the world is burning like a raging fire, the flames cannot burn the nobles. They can still sing and dance, sing and dance, and enjoy romance and elegant art. This is reality, and it has been like this since ancient times.
Of course, there are occasionally some teahouses and chess houses on the shore, where some literati are chatting about world affairs and national affairs. Qin Ge will also stop and listen. However, during this time, he was influenced by Xun Yu, which turned Qin Ge's appetite He was being cunning, and what these people were talking about sounded so stupid and superficial to his ears that Qin Ge shook his head.
Walking alone among the bustling crowds, there are people hawking calligraphy and paintings on the street, some selling books, and some promoting state governance strategies in an effort to make a splash. Elegance and decadence, glamor and filth are intertwined and mixed in the bustling Luoshui.
Qin Ge faced all this like a cold-eyed bystander. Perhaps he suffered from the sequelae of the war. If it weren't for the strong stimulation, he seemed to be uninterested in everything.
Qin Ge held a jade plaque in his hand with the four words "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon" printed on it. During this period, he studied six arts in the Confucian and Taoist Academy, and the music and art were personally taught by Cai Yong, the dean of the Academy of Music. Qin Ge He and Cai Yong are close friends. Cai Yong has a mind and open-mindedness that ordinary scholars do not have. Perhaps it is due to his rough life and the experience of living in the frontier. Sometimes you can see the sense of loyalty in the world from him. He is more in tune with Qin Ge, and often Xun Yu invited Qin Ge to his home for the first time. However, due to Qin Ge's poor foundation in Confucianism and the increasingly pressing exams, Qin Ge's daily study schedule was fully arranged by Xun Yu, and he only had four hours a day including meals. During the training time, of course, he and Xun Yu were inseparable day and night. Qin Ge was a person of pain and joy, so even though his studies were extremely heavy, he still learned with relish and indulged in it.
Cai Yong also knew Qin Ge's difficulties, so he stopped mentioning it. When they were chatting after class yesterday, they heard that Qin Ge finally had a day off today, so Cai Yong gave him this jade plaque, saying it was a day off. You can't study hard, otherwise you will become a nerd. Mysteriously, Qin Ge is asked to come to Luoshui tonight to have fun and relax.
Qin Ge looked at the bustling Luoshui River, stretched his body and said with a wicked smile: "This Dr. Cai won't invite me to prostitute! I can't tell that this sanctimonious guy is actually an old pervert!" However, all the high-ranking officials and noblemen in Luoyang are like this, and they are proud of it. If you don't have some hobbies, you won't be able to enter their circle. It's not surprising that Cai Yong has such elegance. However, if Cai Yong knew what Qin Ge was thinking at this time, he would definitely come over and strangle this lewd thief to death.
Qin Ge came to the pier that Cai Yong mentioned. At this time, the pier was already crowded with people. Everyone was dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes. Judging from the sachets and various gem pendants on their bodies, these were all famous noble families in the capital. The children, and the clothes on these people are all pure silk and satin clothes, without any embroidery patterns on them. Qin Ge also learned a lot about the children of the nobles in the capital from Xun Yu. These children of the nobles are called the Yashi school. They usually study He is proficient in poetry, music and chess, and pursues elegant taste in life. He is different from those aristocratic children who are drunk and sensual. He is sought after by famous nobles and is called a pure scholar.
Although the clothes of these elegant and elegant people look elegant and simple, the clothes on their bodies are all made of fine Shu brocade, and the accessories on their bodies are extremely exquisite in workmanship. They are not as luxurious as those sensual and sensual people. Qin Ge's simple Confucianism The uniforms seemed a bit out of place among them.
However, Qin Ge was not the focus at this time, but a heated debate was going on in a teahouse near the pier. Sitting at the top of the teahouse was a group of young men in white robes. The leader was thin, but Wearing a large brocade robe, coupled with that handsome face and exquisite makeup, she is even three points more handsome than a beautiful woman. This is the popular style of effeminate yandere in Luoyang, Kyoto. I heard Xun Yu said that this style was also brought by Qingliu elegance. Yes, those wealthy ladies and pink beauties are very much after this kind of effeminate and yandere makeup. These celebrities and elegant men, as seven-foot men, actually imitate women in applying powder and make-up, and add a bit of sickly charm, which is enough to drive all ladies and girls crazy. People like Qin Ge, who have rough faces and dark skin, are generally regarded as For a reckless man.
The leader of the young master is a typical example of this kind of effeminate yandere. Not only did many aristocratic daughters and even many men in the audience support him, but the person who was at odds with this young master was a young young master, who was fourteen or fifteen years old. He is still a young man, but his eyes are smart and firm, his speech is coherent, and he can connect with the general trend of the world. From the conversation, Qin Ge thought that this person must be an extraordinary person, maybe a famous historical general, after all, Luoyang's famous historical general Tai After a while, Qin Ge gradually became numb.
Qin Ge couldn't help but ask a young man watching beside him: "Who is the debater?"
The young master turned around and saw Qin Ge's shabby look. He suddenly showed contempt and said as if he was looking at an alien: "No way! You don't even have the reputation of Mr. Wei Zhongdao, who is the most famous in the world in articles and is talented and romantic in Luoyang." I know, he is the leader of the Qingliu Yashi, and as for that young boy, his surname seems to be Xun, but he is just an unknown person with no name!"
Hearing this, a young master said disdainfully: "He must be another madman who is trying to use Mr. Wei to become famous! Mr. Wei was just in the teahouse, talking about the corruption of morality in the world, the collapse of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. Even Zhu Jun, who is known as a great Confucian, He actually massacred people and took human life lightly. This is such a great critical spirit. He dared to speak to the orthodoxy and make suggestions to the court. But this kid talked nonsense and actually supported Zhu Jun, the butcher! He really did whatever it took to be famous!"
After Qin Ge heard this, he stood quietly and listened to the debate. Wei Zhongdao's views were very pleasing. He stood on the moral high ground and said that all living things in the world have the right to survive, and those people were bewitched by the Yellow Turban Demon. , the imperial court should use morality to influence them, rather than violently quelling the chaos with swords. It was precisely because of the bloody suppression of the imperial court that conflicts intensified and the world's rituals and music collapsed. Therefore, the powerful and powerful troops in the counties and counties were everywhere, and they stepped on The blood of the rebellious common people gained them merit and honors, and after they obtained the titles, they swung their butcher knives at the people in exchange for more merits. All of this was due to the collapse of rituals and music, which led to the loss of etiquette, justice and integrity! Wei Zhongdao's suggestion is to instill benevolence in the people, use elegant music and Confucian benevolence to influence them, and make them become obedient people with good moral character, so as to achieve the great unity of heaven and earth. Of course, this idea was echoed and praised by all the noble princes present.
The young man surnamed Xun’s argument is very novel. He believes that interests are much more important than morality in the interactions between people. The relationship between all people and even politics are based on the chain of interests. Nowadays, the gentry and clans are annexing Land monopolized most of the resources of the Han Dynasty, and the conflicts between the people who lost the land and the gentry were irreconcilable and irreconcilable because they had to survive. Zhu Jun chose to sacrifice the mob in order to maintain the order of the Han Dynasty, although the method was Cruel, but to avoid causing chaos in the world and sacrificing more people due to banditry, to solve the root cause of the rebellion is that the court severely suppressed the noble families and distributed more of the world's interests to the people. Only when they are rich in food, clothing and property can the people live and work in peace and contentment. Zhu Jun's extraordinary achievements cannot be denied because of a stain and wantonly attacked in public. Doing so is simply grandstanding.
However, Mr. Xun’s views were too straightforward and struck a chord with many aristocratic children. According to Mr. Xun, their romantic and prosperous life of singing and dancing was based on squeezing the interests of the common people. The Jin Luo in them What they squandered on silks, satins, jade and jewelry was the people's fat and the people's treasure. They were the source of cholera in the world. They maintained their vested interests in Zhu Jun's bandit suppression. Now they are picking up their jobs and scolding the cooks. It is simply ungrateful.
Wei Zhongdao was also very disgusted with the words of Mr. Xun. He directly said that Mr. Xun was full of money and said that the relationship between people is based on interests first. This is a taint of the most profound family affection, the most supreme love, and the most profound friendship. Only people like Mr. Xun who talk about profit and money abandon all this, and the friendship between gentlemen with high morals includes noble morality and pure friendship.
As soon as Wei Zhongdao said these words, everyone cheered. At this time, Wei Zhongdao was like a holy mother descended from the sky. His lofty mind was beyond the comparison of the villain in front of him who was talking about interests.
After all, Mr. Xun was young and was humiliated openly and secretly by Wei Zhongdao. He was also ridiculed and scolded by so many scholars in public. After all, he was young and energetic. In anger, he wanted to take action and teach this man who was full of benevolence and morality a lesson. Asshole, a big hand pressed down on his shoulder. Mr. Xun looked up and saw that the person coming was Qin Ge.
Qin Ge persuaded with sincerity: "You can't talk about summer insects! If you do it, you will be inferior, and you, with your little arms and legs, can beat so many people!" Mr. Xun looked at the noble princes in the field. The young lady looked like she was going to attack him, and she was immediately frightened and leaned back.
Qin Ge blocked the young master surnamed Xun and looked at Wei Zhong and said: "Since we are just sitting and discussing ideas, why do we need to slander others and then carry out personal attacks!" As Qin Ge's mentor, Zhu Juan took great care of him, and Qin Ge couldn't tolerate it. Some people insulted him, and used Zhu Jun's clear name to promote the so-called benevolence to gain fame.
Wei Zhongdao, whose thoughts were exposed, looked at Qin Ge, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "We are just condemning those cold-blooded actions without mercy. We are speaking out for justice for all people in the world. Who are you? ! You are defending those cold-blooded people, are you their accomplice?" As he spoke, the onlookers gathered around Qin Ge, and they were about to drown Qin Ge with their saliva.
