After picking cotton during the day, Huo Guang couldn't bear the warm invitation of the farmer Ling Yanyi at night and went to his home as a guest.
Yan Yi is an honest official.
As for honest officials, their families are basically very poor. Naturally, I couldn't treat Huo Guang to any good wine.
However, the two side dishes made by Yan Yu to go with wine were quite to Huo Guang's liking.
at this time!
Yan Yi raised his glass and drank with Huo Guang.
Both of them took a small sip, not because they wanted to savor the wine, but because they were afraid of finishing the wine in one go.
"Tsk..."
Da Nong Ling smacked his mouth, feeling as if he had drunk a peerless wine. After putting down the wine glass, he asked Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, I remember, you studied under the Confucian Dong Sheng, right?"
Huo Guang nodded and said, "Yes, it's not actually a disciple. It's just that I'm still learning from Mr. Dong."
actually!
Deep down in his heart, he still resisted having Dong Zhongshu's reputation tied to his own.
However, Yan Yi, the great farmer, smiled and said: "Since you are a disciple, you are a disciple. How can you say that you are not a disciple?"
Huo Guang shrugged and said with a smile: "The Da Nong Order said yes, so be it!"
Having multiple labels of Confucian disciples was not a bad thing in the Han Dynasty.
Others have to say.
Then just say it!
However.
At this moment, Yan Yi, an honest man, smiled naively and said: "Since you study under Dong Sheng, then, according to your seniority, you have to call me master!"
"Huh?" Huo Guang suddenly frowned and asked doubtfully: "What does the Da Nong Order mean? Is it possible that you have something to do with Mr. Dong?"
relation?
What a fart relationship!
Only what you know.
Mr. Dong never had a true master in his life, and most of the Confucian knowledge he studied was self-taught.
But without a teacher, it won’t sound good if you say it out loud!
then!
The famous Dong Zhongshu is generally called Gong Yangshou as his teacher to the outside world.
Who is Gong Yangshou?
It is said that he was the person who wrote "The Biography of Gongyang in the Spring and Autumn Period", but it is impossible to find out whether there is such a person.
So Yan Yi said he was his master?
Huo Guang was a hundred disbelievers.
However!
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Da Nong Ling said with a smile: "Do you know who the famous Ziyuan was during the Spring and Autumn Period?"
"Ziyuan?"
Huo Guang's mind was running wildly, but Nai He really didn't think of such a person.
Immediately.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Da Nong Ling, I am short-sighted, I really don't know who it is?"
"Yan Zi!" Yan Yi immediately reminded him.
However.
Huo Guang didn't quite understand what he heard, so he repeated it calmly, "Ah, Yanzi?"
"What Yanzi? I'm talking about Yan Hui, the most proud disciple of Confucius, one of the ten philosophers of Confucius, the leader of the seventy-two sages, and now the tenth generation ancestor of the Yan family!" Yan Yi said angrily: "Why, Dong Sheng claims to be a great master of Confucianism and can misinterpret the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period, but he actually doesn't introduce these things to you?"
Looking at Da Nong Ling like this, he seemed a little angry.
Huo Guang suddenly frowned, feeling helpless.
thinking.
Can't you just say Yan Hui directly?
What are you talking about, Ziyuan?
As for who Yan Hui is?
He is the Fusheng who will be honored by later generations, and is also one of the so-called five great saints in Confucianism.
pity.
This is the Han Dynasty, and Yan Hui has not yet been listed as a saint.
It's ridiculous to say that.
Some saints, who were not famous during their lifetime, became saints after their death. That is to say, the ancients were consecrated as saints by later generations!
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows, looked at Yan Yi, the great farmer, and asked curiously: "So you are talking about Yan Yuan. Of course I know that. I didn't expect that this Confucian senior is yours."
The tenth generation ancestor, disrespectful and disrespectful. But what does this have to do with me studying under Dong Gong? "
Yan Yi immediately said: "Why is there no connection? Dong Sheng claimed to study Gongyang School and studied under Gongyang Shou."
"As for Gongyang theory, all theories come from the Spring and Autumn Annals!"
"My ancestor also participated in the Master's work "Spring and Autumn". What Dong Sheng learned came from "Gongyang", and "Gongyang" was based on "Spring and Autumn". "
"Calculate it."
"You call me Master, that's not too much!"
Oh~
Have honest people learned to take advantage of others?
Or.
Do Confucians like to do such far-fetched things? Explain everything as interconnected!
Seeing Yan Yi acting like this, Huo Guang was not used to it, and immediately retorted: "I am afraid that the words of Da Nong Ling must have been spoken after drinking too much. Otherwise, if word spreads, people will definitely laugh out loud!"
"Why do you say that?" Yan Yi asked knowingly.
"Why? Haha..." There was a look of disdain on Huo Guang's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "It's like listening to you for nothing!"
"If it's your wish!"
"Then can we make the following inference?"
"I am equal to a man, and your father is equal to a man. Men are equal to men, does that mean I am equal to your father?"
Yan Yi heard this.
He immediately exploded and stood up to beat Huo Guang, yelling: "Shuzi, you dare to insult my father, I'm going to get you beaten!"
"You insulted my intelligence first!"
Huo Guang dodged immediately. His skills were much more agile than the old guy Yan Yi.
When Yan Yu, who was cooking, heard about the quarrel, she ran out and asked, "Father, didn't you invite Huo Yilang as a guest? Why did you start a fight with the guest?"
now.
Yan Yi, who was a great farmer, stopped pursuing Huo Guang and said to Yan Yu, "Yu'er, you don't understand this. We are called drinking and having fun, and we are literati and elegant. I won't say any more. Come and take care of my father." Huo Yilang pours the wine."
"good."
Yan Yu nodded, then listened to his father's words and stepped forward to pour wine for his father and Huo Guang.
At this time.
Da Nong Ling called to Huo Guang who was about to run away and said, "Huo Yilang, why are you still standing there? Come over and drink."
"correct."
"About Bai Diazi...well, I haven't asked you about cotton breeding yet."
"How should I choose this cotton seed?"
When Yan Yi said this, Huo Guang also walked back with a cautious look.
At this moment.
Coincidentally, Yan Yu was pouring wine for Huo Guang, and the two of them were quite close to each other. Huo Guang, who was kneeling on the seat, raised his head and took another look at her proud figure.
"It's so big!" Huo Guang sighed softly.
However.
Unfortunately.
Yan Yi heard this and immediately asked: "Really...what is it really? Can Huo Yilang repeat it?"
When Huo Guang heard this, he realized his situation and immediately said: "I mean, when it comes to cotton breeding, we need to select seeds with large particles and high cotton yield. There are also those that are strong during the growth period of the cotton plant, and diseased seedlings. You can’t have it!”
Upon hearing this, Yan Yi nodded immediately and said, "Oh, Huo Yilang is so talented and intelligent. I didn't expect that he even knows about cultivating seeds?"
Huo Guang then waved his hand and said, "I grew up in a rural family, so of course I know something about these things."
"Just like what my mother did."
"She likes to eat the large, abundant plants first, leaving the small, diseased ones as seeds."
"As time goes by, the seasons change."
"In the next few years, our family won't be able to eat many good vegetables. We even have to borrow some seeds from our neighbors to continue planting."
Hear Huo Guang's introduction.
Yan Yi then burst out laughing and said, "Honored Mother is quite interesting. Huo Yilang is so smart. Why?"
, why don’t you persuade me? "
Huo Guang then shook his head and said, "It's hard to tell. How can a son preach to his mother? Isn't this against filial piety? Besides, I don't dare to speak. If I speak too much, I'm afraid my mother will beat her with a broom."
aside.
Yan Yu also giggled and covered her mouth while listening to Huo Guang's words.
Huo Guang glanced at Yan Yu and said, "What's so funny about this? Isn't it normal for children to be beaten by their parents?"
Yan Yu's expression immediately changed and she stopped smiling.
Look.
The mood seems to be getting worse.
Huo Guang didn't pay attention to this detail, and just continued to talk to himself: "Have you ever heard of the saying, "Natural selection, survival of the fittest"? "
Yan Yi then shook his head and said, "No."
Of course he had never heard this sentence before. After all, it was said by a biological scientist eighteen centuries later.
Although Yan Yi has never heard of it!
But that didn't stop Huo Guang from taking it out and filling it with cups!
"Ahem!" Huo Guang cleared his throat and explained to Yan Yi in a preaching manner: "Natural selection means that if all things in the world want to survive, they must compete with each other. Survival of the fittest. Only the victors, or those who adapt, will survive.”
"For crops such as cotton and grains."
"Those of us who sow are their heaven!"
"We must choose the best seeds and leave them to future generations to sow. The bad ones will become our food, or we will eliminate them."
After hearing this, Yan Yi smiled lightly and said, "Listening to your words is like listening to you in vain!"
Good guy!
How can Yan Yifeng learn from himself?
Ah...
The so-called honest people are not honest at all.
Huo Guang looked at Yan Yi, raised his glass helplessly, took a sip, and said, "Da Nong Ling, actually I can't drink yet. Being a guest today has already given me a bad reputation."
"If you want to talk, don't you agree?"
"I think I should go back first!"
Hear this.
Yan Yu stood up immediately and said, "Didn't we have a good chat? Just now my father said that drinking and having fun was a scholarly and elegant person. Why is Huo Yilang leaving suddenly?"
Look at Yan Yu like this.
Huo Guang seemed to understand in his heart that something was wrong with Yan Yi's attitude towards him.
turn out to be.
It came from his daughter.
At this moment.
Yan Yi suddenly said to Yan Yu: "Yu'er, why do I smell a burnt smell?"
When Yan Yu heard this, he remembered something.
Immediately he was surprised and quickly ran to the kitchen to check.
Seeing his daughter leave.
The great farmer's order, Yan Yi, then asked Huo Guang, "What does Huo Yilang think of the divorce?"
Xi female.
In fact, it was a name used by one's own daughter in front of others during the Han Dynasty.
When Huo Guang heard this, he couldn't help but frown and asked curiously: "Why did the Grand Farmer ask me this? I am thirteen years old and have not yet been crowned. Are you asking the wrong person?" ?」
However.
Yan Yi shook his head and said, "Huo Yilang is overthinking. I didn't want to betroth my daughter to you."
"Oh?" Huo Guang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Yan Yi smiled faintly and said: "Huo Yilang is the younger brother of the champion. The Hussars General has already surpassed the achievements of General Wei at a young age. In the future, you two brothers will have a limitless future in the court."
Are you saying this intentionally to curry favor?
Not quite right!
If it were someone else who wanted to curry favor with Huo Guang, it would be justifiable.
But who is Yan Yi!
He was a direct minister that even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dared to confront, and he was also one of the nine ministers.
The Da Nong Order is the official who controls the national economy.
Can he please himself?
Who would believe this!
Huo Guang then shook his head, frowned and said, "If there is something wrong with Da Nong, please just tell me!"
After hearing Huo Guang's words, Yan Yi immediately smiled and said, "Huo Yilang is really smart, so I'll tell you straight."
"In the past two days, Yan was watching the sky at night, and suddenly felt his heart throbbing, and a faint sense of crisis arose in his heart."
"then."
"So I asked someone to divine a divination for me. The six lines of Yin are the divination. This is a sign of disaster."
"Huo Yilang."
"If something happens to Yan one day, can you take care of the descendants of my Yan family?"
Watching the sky at night?
What about the Six Yao Disasters?
Good guy, why are you talking about this?
Huo Guang didn't believe this by nature, so he immediately said: "Da Nong Ling, I actually don't believe what you said. If you can really predict disasters, why don't you hide?"
Yan Yi replied: "This is fate, you can't avoid it."
Ah!
Destiny? Still can’t hide?
It’s just feudal superstition!
Huo Guang immediately shook his head and sighed: "If such a disaster really happens, as a court official, the status of Da Nong Ling and his relatives and friends is probably not low. Why is it left to me, an outsider?"
However.
At this moment, Yan Yi raised his hand and said, "That's wrong, Huo Yilang, Yan is not entrusted to you alone."
"after."
"I still have to tell my other relatives and friends about this."
Isn't this just a scumbag's routine of casting a wide net, catching as many fish as possible, and choosing the best?
hehe!
Fortunately, Yan Yi was not born in modern times, otherwise, he would be another scumbag.
After Huo Guang thought for a while, he immediately handed over his hands and said, "If the day comes, I will take care of Sister Yu'er within my ability."
"but."
"It's just divination, it can't be taken seriously."
"Boy, I still think the Great Farm Order is a bit unfounded."
"Then I'll thank Huo Yilang first." Yan Yi did not refute Huo Guang's words. He just shook the empty wine jar and sighed: "In this life, Yan has consciously been worthy of heaven and earth. He is worthy of The common people of the Han Dynasty."
"Only I failed to take good care of Yu'er."
"She is ashamed of her mother..."
...
...
Two days later, the news that the Han Dynasty's border was plundered by the Huns' cavalry reached the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Immediately.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who had been in a sluggish mood in recent days, suddenly became full of energy when he heard the word "Xiongnu".
Not much to say.
There was a court meeting of ministers for three consecutive days. This was a rare thing in the Han Dynasty.
certainly.
This meeting.
Huo Guang, a minister with a salary of 600 dan, could not participate without an edict.
now.
In the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was furious. He looked at the officials below and couldn't help but angrily shouted: "In the first two years, I will raise troops to go north to attack the Huns who have escaped to Mobei."
"You guys say it."
"The Huns have been driven to Mobei and can't do anything."
"I need to curb my bellicose attitude. This is a lot of nonsense about stopping the war to rest and reforming the people!"
"What now?"
"talk!"
"Why aren't you talking anymore?"
"Um?"
"The Huns' cavalry have all come to the Hetao area, burning, killing and plundering my people. Why don't you, the three nobles and nine ministers who are greedy for comfort, say anything?"
"ah?"
"Everyone is mute!"
