Chapter 6 The Birth of the Four Treasures (2)

After the death of Sima Zhao, the prime minister of Cao Wei, and the king of Jin in the second year of Xianxi, his eldest son Sima Yan inherited the prime minister and the throne of Jin. Sima Yan changed the hypocritical mask of his grandfather Sima Yi, uncle Sima Shi, and father Sima Zhao. Everyone knew that

His disobedience was put into practice. In December of that year, he couldn’t wait to

The emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Huan, was deposed and he proclaimed himself the emperor. Or rather, he was elected as the emperor by the ministers of civil and military affairs. A better way of saying it was that he obeyed the arrangement of heaven and became the emperor, and changed his reign name to Taishi. Sima Yan proclaimed himself the emperor.

Later, instead of beheading the Cao Wei family, Cao Huan, the last emperor of Wei Dynasty, was granted the title of Chenliu.

The kings of the Cao family and the Cao family were all reduced to county princes. They followed Sima Yi as Emperor Xuan, Sima Shi as Emperor Jing, and Sima Zhao as Emperor Wen. They also made a large number of his Sima family's uncles, uncles, and brothers kings, all at once.

He conferred twenty-seven kings, and at the same time, he also granted many titles to the founding heroes, including ten Dukes at one go.

1. Jia Chong, who helped Sima Zhao kill Wei Emperor Cao Mao, was named General of Guards, General of Chariots and Cavalry, and Duke of Lu. He assisted the same master and did the same thing, but the final results were completely different.

, one was cut to pieces by a thousand swords and three clans were wiped out, while the other became a highly respected minister and enjoyed all the glory and wealth.

After the long-term wars at the end of the Han Dynasty, by the time the Jin Dynasty was first established, the country's population was less than one-tenth of what it was during the heyday of the Han Dynasty. Especially in the Central Plains region, where heroes compete for power, it is always necessary to visit this place, which is full of ruins.

The people either died in the war or moved to all directions. Most people moved to the south of the Yangtze River, followed by those to the south.

People who migrated from the west to the north. Ruyin was a small county. Coupled with the long-term war, there were only about 8,500 households at that time. This number of household registrations only counts ordinary people. Of course, if people hiding in wealthy families are included, of course

There are far more than this number. Among the twenty-seven kings granted by Sima Yan, Ruyin County is the fiefdom of Sima Jun. He is Sima Jun’s fief.

The son of Ma Yi and the uncle of Sima Yan. Although each of the twenty-seven kings has his own fiefdom, these fiefdoms are not static. The emperor can change the fiefdoms of the kings according to the situation. For example, Sima Jun is now the King of Ruyin, and later

He was also renamed King of Fufeng. Fufeng County is much larger than Ruyin County. Because many princes and kings have officials in the court,

Because of their official positions and attachment to the capital, and the fiefdoms were not fixed, many princes and kings lived in Luoyang City instead of living in their own fiefdoms. They only enjoyed the food and salary of the fiefdoms, which meant they enjoyed one-tenth of the fiscal and tax income of their fiefdoms.

For counties that have not been enfeoffed, a prefect is appointed to manage the affairs of the county, and within the enfeoffed country, a state minister is appointed to manage the affairs of the county.

In the seventh year of the Taishi period of the Jin Dynasty, Shu An and Han Ning came back from Tianzhong and saw a notice posted on the street. It probably said: Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the world has been in chaos, wars have continued, people have been displaced, countless casualties have been lost, and the population has continued to migrate. The imperial court and

Household registers of local counties

Basically, they are all in name only. Now the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty has pacified the world, the world is at peace, and the people have returned to their original places one after another, living and working in peace and contentment. Therefore, the states, counties, and counties are ordered to count the registered population and the number of acres of farmland in their respective territories, and report them to the court...



When Shu An returned home, his son ran over and hugged his legs. He picked up his son and walked to Dr. Shu's house. Dr. Shu has stopped going to the fields since his grandson was four years old. He specializes in watching and teaching his grandson at home.

The grandson is studying. This child is very smart and can now memorize the Analects of Confucius by heart. Now Dr. Shu has begun to teach him the Book of Songs.

Shu An told his father what was in the notice.

Dr. Shu said: "Well, yes, my grandson is now six years old. He will soon have to register for household registration. We can't just call him by his nickname anymore. It's time to give him a formal name."

Shu An said: "The purpose of this population census is to register your name. You are a doctor from Taixue. My family is no better than other families in that we need a formal name. We can't be like other families who can't think of a name and just do it casually.

He just took the nicknames of dogs and cows that he was used to barking as official names."

Dr. Shu nodded and said with a smile: "You are the father of the child, so you should name him."

Shu An pushed back: "My father is a doctor of Taixue. How can my son dare to make mistakes when his father is here?"

In fact, Dr. Shu had already thought about it: when he came back from Taixue, it was the time when Sima Zhao used his ministers to deceive the emperor. No one in the civil and military circles in the dynasty dared to stand up and oppose, and no one dared to fulfill their responsibilities as ministers. Although these people

He is not the culprit, but he is not a loyal minister. Why are there no people like Qu Yuan and Yan Zi now? He especially admires Yan Zi for his wit, bravery, eloquence, and loyalty...

"Let's call her Shu Yan."

After hearing this, Shu An agreed, touched his son's little face and said, "Did you hear that? From now on, when you go out, you will call me Shu Yan."

Before he finished speaking, a man opened the door curtain and came in, smiling: "Shu Yan - a good name. Can we elders call him 'Yan'er'?"

Shu Yan ran over and called: "Uncle Han."

"Well, Yan'er is good."

Shu An said: "Have you decided on the names of your children?"

"Get up, my daughter's name is Han Zhixin, and my son's name is Han Ruoxin."

It turns out that the Han family had a son within a few years after they had a daughter.

Shu An praised: "What a good name. Brother Han really has a quiet character and the names he chooses are so noble and peaceful."

"No matter where you are, only now that the world is peaceful, can our people live and work in peace and contentment."

After hearing this, Shu An sighed: "Where is the peace? It's just peace in our Central Plains. Haven't you heard that the Xianbei Bald Tree in the north has rebelled but has not yet put down the rebellion. Liu Meng, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, rebelled outside the Great Wall. This is all about raising tigers.

It’s a danger. What’s more, Sun Wu in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet recovered it.”

Han Ning said: "I heard that the Lord of Wu, Sun Hao, was incompetent, licentious, and killed innocent people indiscriminately. The courtiers of Wu State and the people hated him so much that they rebelled against him. Even his younger brother Sun Xiu has surrendered to our country. I'm afraid he will leave."

The country’s subjugation is not far away.”

"Well, all the brothers of the Sun family of Wu State have rebelled, so it won't be long ago. But Sun Xiu is probably not a good person. The foundation established by his ancestors, even if he can't make contributions to the country, he can't rebel. How can this be worthy of his ancestors?

.”

Dr. Shu said: "When I was young, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were in power. Now that the Shu Han has died early, the Wei Kingdom has been replaced by the Jin Dynasty, and the Wu Kingdom is not far away. It seems that the return of the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty is only a matter of time. But it's just a matter of time.

The barbarians on the border are a big scourge.”

"Hey, speaking of Shu Han, I remembered that I heard that the emperor Liu Chan died not long ago."

Shu An couldn't help sighing after hearing this: "Poor Liu Xuande has gone through so many hardships, from a hawker who weaves mats and sells shoes to dominating the southwest, competing with Wei and Wu. It's not easy. I didn't expect to be defeated by this Adou hand."

Here, the second generation died."

Dr. Shu said: "Back then, Sima Zhao conquered the Shu Han and brought Liu Chan and a group of old Shu Han officials back to Xuchang. Sima Zhao ordered the Wei people to dance and play to entertain the audience. All the old Shu Han officials in the audience looked sad, but Liu Chan watched with relish; later

Sima Zhao also ordered the Shu Han people to sing Shu opera. The Shu officials in the audience watched and all

He couldn't help but shed tears, but Liu Chan was still smiling and contented. Seeing Liu Chan like this, Sima Zhao sighed to Jia Chong, "This is how ruthless people are." Then he asked Liu Chan, "Do you miss your Shu Han?" Liu Chan

Answer: 'I am happy here and don't miss Shu.' Sima Zhao then named him Duke Anle."

Han Ning smiled and said: "After the death of Duke Anle, he was given a posthumous title. What do you think it is?"

Before Dr. Shu could wait for Shu An to speak, Shu Yan asked: "What is a posthumous title?"

Dr. Shu replied: "The posthumous title means that after the emperor, princes and ministers die, descendants will add an appropriate word to their title based on their deeds during their lifetime."

"Oh, I understand." Shu Yan thought for a while and then said: "Liu Chan, as a subjugated monarch, enjoys happiness in the enemy's country without missing his homeland at all. In this way, he will definitely be ridiculed by the world. I think the world will definitely

I will do the opposite and give him the word 'thinking'."

After hearing this, Han Ning was shocked: "My nephew is really smart, he is exactly the kind of person who is happy and loves his father-in-law!"

Dr. Shu was also very surprised by his grandson's wisdom, but he pretended to scold him: "What do children know? This word 'si' sums it up perfectly. It's just the so-called 'qu Zequan'. Liu Chan's happiness does not reflect on Shu.

Isn’t it an act of wisdom and self-preservation? In the "Posthumous Law", there are particularities in which word is used for the posthumous title, and each word contains a different meaning. For example, one of the words 'Si' means to recall past mistakes."

Shu An and Han Ning had similar interests, and the two families were already good friends. Han Ning thought: Now this child is so smart, and he was born on the same day as his daughter when seven-colored clouds appeared in the sky. His daughter is also smart and has extraordinary behavior.

.Well, the two children are really a perfect match.

With this idea, Han Ning fell in love with Shu Yan even more from then on.

During the chat, Dr. Xia Tingxi opened the door and walked in. Shu An and Han Ning greeted Dr. Xia Tingchang. Mr. Xia Tingchang and Dr. Shu met each other first, and then said to Shu An and Han Ning: "We

The Jin Dynasty was initially determined and there was an urgent need for talents. The imperial court ordered the chief officials of each county to set six standards.

The recommendation is due to be delayed. Now, Ruyin Zhongzheng has informed the Prime Minister of Ruyin to recommend talents from this county to the court. The Prime Minister has already written this. I think we have two sages in Shujiazhuang, but it happens that these two sages today

Everyone is here, I wonder if Brother Shu and Brother Han are interested?"

After listening to Chang Ting's words, Shu Yan and Han Ning understood what he meant. They looked at each other and smiled faintly.

Dr. Shu asked: "I wonder which six are they?"

"The first is to be loyal and obedient, the second is to be filial and respectful, the third is to be friends with brothers, the fourth is to be clean and humble, the fifth is to be loyal and trustworthy, and the sixth is to learn to be one's own self."

Shu Yan pushed Han Ning's thigh: "Uncle Han, what is Yanzhi?"

Han Ning lowered his head and explained to Shu Yan: "Yanzhi is a talented and virtuous man like your father who lives among the people."

Dr. Shu said: "Nephew Han Xian also deserves these six points."

Han Ning pushed: "No, no, no, Chief Xia Ting, Uncle Shu, how can I be compared with Brother Shu? In terms of talent and virtue, not only Shujiazhuang, but also the entire Ruyin County, who can compare with me Shu?"

Brother?"

Xia Tingchang said: "Yes, Brother Shu is well-known in our hometown, and you are the only one who deserves to be promoted to Yanzhao this time."

Shu An chuckled twice: "I am not a 'virtuous man', I am clearly an 'idler'!"

Xia Tingchang said: "Two wise nephews, now that the world is at peace and everything is waiting for prosperity, it is a good time to contribute to the country. Besides, if you are recommended this time and succeed, you will definitely have a bright future with your talents.

Think twice!"

"I, Shu'an, am just a farmer. After working in the fields, I study, and when I have money, I help the village. What's there to say? Besides, I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I am ugly and ugly. It is really difficult for me to be refined."

President Xia Ting looked at Shu Boguang, asking Dr. Shu to advise his son.

Shu Boguang looked up to the sky and laughed: "I am from a humble family, it is difficult for me to ascend to the elegant hall, yes, it is difficult to ascend."

Shu An's decision fulfilled Dr. Shu's wish. Although little Shu Yan was smart, he still didn't understand the thoughts of adults. Only Xie Yi saw this in his eyes and silently touched Shu Yan's head, although he didn't say a word.
