0005 Family Studies
In later history, in the corrupt and ruling Eastern Jin court, Tao Kan, a famous general from a poor family, was definitely a unique existence. Unfortunately, he was now afraid of the Wang brothers and was sent to a remote place in Jiaozhou. Therefore, Shen Zhezi did not take it into consideration when he analyzed it in his previous analysis. However, when his father considered the aftermath issue, he did not ignore this powerful power, which shows that his meticulous thoughts were far beyond his own comparison.
In history, Tao Kan experienced a period of neglect. After Wang Dun's death, the court had almost no general available, so he transferred him to a major town in Jingzhou to weaken the power of the Langya Wang family in local towns. Tao Kan's power during this period also reached its peak, especially after the Su Jun rebellion, and even wanted to abolish Wang Dao, who was in power in the central government, which shows how powerful it is.
The gift Chen Chong gave to Tao Kan was not wealth, but hundreds of hectares of land and nearly a hundred servants. It was different from Liu Xia, Su Jun, and others who were also in charge of soldiers. Shen Zhezi savored the difference between the two, and felt that his father was really amazing, and he had a slight insight into the situation and even personnel. No matter how much money he had, he could not compare with the land and people who were the foundation of building a family. It can be seen that in his father's mind, Tao Kan was far more important than the former.
Shen Zhezi felt quite uncomfortable about his father's behavior of bribing Tao Kan. In his mind, Tao Kan, who came from a poor family, was a perfect man with good morals and abilities, as flawless as white jade. How could he secretly talk to his father, a group of powerful thieves who were blindly ignoring the court and ignoring etiquettes, and he was in a state of confusion! His heart was filled with a sense of loss of idol disillusionment.
But then I thought about it, why do those gentry waste who are promoted and made money can be made by high-ranking officials and wealth? And those truly capable talents like Tao Kan are willing to be poor? After thinking about this, I feel relieved. Then I think that Tao Yuanming, a descendant of Tao Kan, might pick chrysanthemums in the south mountain on the land given by his father many years later, and Shen Zhezi felt a sense of accomplishment to witness historical changes.
Seeing his father's series of methods of post-disaster treatment, Shen Zhezi opened his eyes and felt his shortcomings more and more. The so-called prophet of history actually has no advantage in this specific real situation. He could only believe that his father must not make trouble with Wang Dun, but he was confused about how to post-disaster treatment in the future.
After all, in the eyes of people at that time, my father is already a hard-core fan of Wang Dun. After years of being together, how could he say he would not play? He naturally had to fight with his fellow party members with all his might. It is conceivable that even if my father no longer participated in the final decisive battle between Wang Dun’s army and the court, the situation he faced was extremely dangerous and might not be able to escape the subsequent liquidation.
However, in such a dangerous situation, Chen Chong was still calm and composed, resigned from the court to retreat as a step forward, contacted allies to consolidate their own strength to ensure safety, and at the same time showed goodwill to all military forces that the court could mobilize.
The Shen family in Wuxing is not a soft persimmon, and those generals who command troops are not fools. Since they can get the benefits of wealth for nothing, they will not be incurable to lose their troops and defeat the Jiangdong heroes to death. The loss of power is his own, and even if he gets rewarded from the court afterwards, it will not be worth the loss. In reality, it is an indisputable fact that the court is weak, and even if he has no choice, he has to face it.
While Shenquan was also observing Shen Zhezi. Seeing that his son looked thoughtful, he obviously saw some clues from his arrangement. He was quite pleased, but he did not explain the profound meaning of his actions to Shen Zhezi in detail. The so-called teaching by words is entirely based on one's own understanding, and the rhyme that can be described by words has fallen below the limit.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the people were open-minded and there were many romantic figures. Although Shen Chong was surprised by his son's premature wisdom, he did not think it was such an incredible thing. Xiang Wu was a saint at the age of seven, Ganluo was appointed as the minister of the twelve years old, and Cao Chong of Wei was not as smart as an adult at the age of six. Why couldn't an eight-year-old prodigy from his own Shen family?
However, Chen Chong was happy and worried. Those who were premature in ancient times may not be able to live forever. Although his son was smart, his physique has always been weak, and he has been seriously ill and dying in recent times. Thinking of the ancient prodigy who died prematurely, Chen Chong felt even more melancholy. When the matter was handled, he pulled Shen Zhezi to his side and said warmly: "Qingque, are you in good health recently?"
When Shen Zhezi heard his father ask this, he was quite frightened.
His body is indeed weak, not as strong as those naughty children in later generations. When the temperature and heat are slightly more obvious, he will catch a cold. Perhaps there is some congenital deficiency, but the Shen family is strong and has sufficient nutrition to drink, so he can take care of it carefully. Why do he still have a premature death? Shen Zhezi was puzzled at first, but when he was poured two large bowls of talisman water yesterday morning, he probably knew what the crux was.
In the present world, the Tao of Heavenly Master is popular in Jiangnan. The Shen family is also a loyal believer who has been a believer in the Tao of Heavenly Master for generations, and then they trust those Taoists very much. Shen Zhezi does not deny that Taoism has its own health preservation methods, such as Ge Hong, who was very famous in later generations, lived a long life. However, in this Eastern Jin Dynasty when the teachings grew wildly, there were many so-called Taoists and others, and few real talents and scholars. Shen Zhezi thought to himself that the reason why he was able to travel through this body was that his ex was probably because he was consumed by the talisman water he bought with a lot of money.
Shen Zhezi didn't want to be an unprecedented time traveler who died prematurely. He was afraid that his father would like to pour talisman water on him again. He hurriedly said, "It's much better. Although it's still a little weak, you can get stronger by taking careful care of your diet. Don't worry, father."
“That’s good.”
Chen Chong patted Shen Zhezi's back with a smile, but he didn't know what his son was thinking, but he had a thought in his mind: I heard that the monk had sent me a message earlier, so I could protect An Tai. I took some time later and I would like to carefully understand it and choose a Buddha and Bodhisattva to support him.
After skipping this, Chen Chong wanted to learn more about his son, so he asked in a chat: "What are you studying now?"
"I am studying "The Book of Songs Zhao Nan"." Shen Zhezi replied, this is the truth of his inheritance of his predecessor's memory.
"The national style is innocent and lively, and the noble, hungry and poor have their own songs. The song expresses emotions, expresses emotions, and is sincere in your ambitions. It is exactly the same as your age. The chapter of Yasong can be learned after you are ten years old." Chen Chong nodded slightly and commented.
Shen Zhezi had no attainment in Chinese studies. Although his father could hear clearly what he said, he really didn't understand what he meant, so he just nodded and agreed.
The son's intelligence showed that Chen Chong could not be regarded as a child, so he subconsciously had higher requirements in his studies. After pondering for a while, he picked up a book in his hand and said to Shen Zhezi with a smile: "Everyone said that the Shen family is rich and has no homeless, so I am too lazy to argue with those people. In fact, our Shen family has been studying "Gongyang Chunqiu" since your great-grandfather. Although it is not a master of classics, it is enough to keep his career."
Shen Zhezi probably understood that what his father said should be the so-called family-transmitted family studies of the aristocratic families. Family learning, family traditions are the basis of establishing a clan, and they have been popular for generations, and have become the best of the county. This is most obvious among the high sects in the north. Cui Lu and others have their own classical and scholar-cultural studies, which are the foundation of family-keeping. The so-called moral inheritance is more than ten generations and wealth inheritance is only three generations. A thousand-year-old family, classical and scholar-cultural studies are the foundation.
"Your grandfather once taught me when he was alive that now is not a world of inaction, how can we respect Laozi and Zhuangzhuang alone? So what we taught me is also "Gongyang Spring and Autumn". The meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period is profound and profound. What I see is only based on strange changes, alienated from the right path, and disappointed the expectations of our ancestors."
Chen Chong said this, sighed and said, "The overseas Chinese surnames from the south are like those of the Wang family of Langya. They abandoned scholars and entered the mystery. This is the act of Ashi. People who pretended to be famous are even more inferior. They are just a glorious one for a while, and they have no roots."
