Three Kingdoms

Fei sneaked out of the Cai Mansion, still a little excited. He had been in the Three Kingdoms for a while, so he had a thicker leg. Although he was a civil servant, he was still a prominent figure after all. He is fine now. When I go out, I have another layer of protective aura that is not too big or too small...

When Fei Qian returned home, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had just used English letters and numbers from later generations in the Cai Mansion. These things would be difficult to explain if someone was interested in investigating! Maybe you will be treated as a sliced ​​guinea pig!

Fei Qian wishes he could give himself a few mouths to tell you to show off——

Now Dong Zhuo has just arrived in Beijing and is still busy with various military connections. Currently, he is mainly focusing on bribing the military personnel left by General He Jin. He has not yet had time to intervene in the political arena, so the entire Han Dynasty government still has It was not completely messed up and was still coasting along the original track. Although many officials did not receive any new instructions from their superiors, there were no major problems in the overall operation.

The entire Han Dynasty also had a very high level of literary and ideological control. Later generations only knew that Qin Shihuang in the Qin Dynasty did something like "burning books and harassing Confucians", but after coming to the Three Kingdoms, he discovered that in fact, what the Han Dynasty did was no better than Qin Shihuang. Much less work.

During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang was extremely concerned about the ideological rule of intellectuals. At that time, Qin Shihuang showed no mercy to the heretical doctrines he recognized. Of course, there were also some Legalists who used this opportunity to attack hostile doctrines - leaving you heretics blindly beeping. , now the direct humane destruction, the world will be pure immediately.

In the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang took over the banner of Qin Shihuang and pioneered the crime of "treason" and "slander" in the Han Dynasty. Although you didn't mention it, I know you thought about it, so you are guilty! The Qin Dynasty was short, and Confucian figures have always talked about it. As the biggest evidence to discredit the Qin Dynasty, "burning books and entrapping Confucianism", how many people died in total? Less than 500 people. In the Han Dynasty, due to various reasons involving literature and writing, how many people died in total because of literature? There are no fewer than 50 cases recorded in history books, in which more than 1,500 people were killed.

As far as the state power is concerned, there are roughly two types of thieves who talk nonsense and cause trouble: one type is a thief with a thief's heart but not the courage, and the other is a thief with the courage but not the thief's heart. Which type of thieves are safer? Those with intentions but no courage will become bolder as soon as an opportunity comes. But for the other type, no matter how courageous they are, they will not have much destructive power without the intention and no matter how strong their body is.

Therefore, for rulers, those who are bold and not allowed to be thoughtful are not allowed to do anything. Those who write or write and speak nonsense that do not meet the needs of the government will be punished.

The most important thing is that the crime of "slander" appeared in the Han Dynasty. It can also be sentenced as "unfounded". And the most terrible thing is that the Han Dynasty has always directly executed the art of witchcraft without mercy. Even the princesses and princes are implicated. Cut it first and then talk!

If the things Fei Qian drew were identified as belonging to ghost drawings, witchcraft or the like, there really would be no chance for him to explain. He would just use a knife to chop off the head.

what to do? It would be inconsistent with etiquette to immediately turn around and go to Cai Mansion now, and it would make people even more suspicious. Fei Qian had to calculate for a few days and wait until the next time he agreed to go to Cai Mansion to find a chance to solve this problem.

In addition, you have to make some preparations yourself, at least find an explanation for yourself, right?

While Fei Qian walked to the study with some regret, he recalled hard that this Arabic numeral did not seem to be Arabic. Moreover, it was said that this thing was not introduced to China from Arabia until the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty. It seems to be an Indian thing now, but What should India be called during the Han Dynasty?

Tianzhu - this is the name of the wordy monk era in the Tang Dynasty, right?

Oops, I have a headache. Fei Qian really wanted to give himself a slap in the face. If he had known better, he would not have used this thing. It has caused him so much trouble for nothing...

****************

Cai Yong has profound attainments in literature and many other aspects, but on the other hand, his mind is relatively pure and he is not as proficient in politics as Situ Wang Yun. This may be why he has considerable achievements in many fields. The reason for success is that people's energy is limited after all. If one area is used too much, the other area may be insufficient.

At this time, Cai Yong took Fei Qian's calculation paper and carefully studied it up, down, left, and right. While mumbling words in his mouth, he made gestures with his hand on the paper. Generally speaking, he could guess that this picture was drawn for Fang Yi. Schematic, but what does this footnote mean?

Although he could calculate that question himself, he was obviously not as fast as Fei Qian. Moreover, the paper Cai Yong used for the deduction was the same size as Fei Qian's paper, so he would need more than ten sheets, while Fei Qian needed more than ten sheets. It only takes one to calculate. Although Cai Yong couldn't understand it, his intuition told him that this had a certain relationship with the symbols used by Fei Qian.

Thinking about something is Cai Yong's hobby. Sometimes he forgets to eat and sleep because of it, and this time is no exception. Cai Yong started painting bit by bit, and before he knew it, it was time to turn on the lamp, and he didn't seem to notice that the sky was getting dark. However, most of the servants in the Cai Mansion were used to the Cai family's way of doing things, and they automatically lit candles for Cai Yong silently.

It was just past midnight, and Cai Yong had not woken up from the Digital Kingdom. The old housekeeper at home was worried that Cai Yong was hungry, so he called Cai Yong several times, but no one responded at all. In desperation, he had to go Please move Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji.

Cai Zhaoji had just had a falling out with the Wei family at this time.

Cai Yong was not very interested in the political affairs during the Han Ling Emperor's era, and he did not like the struggles involving eunuchs and relatives. Therefore, he also did not like some young talents involved in the political affairs at this time. When Cai Yan got married, Cai Yong The old man chose from east to west and chose a Hedong Wei family for Cai Yan.

The Hedong Wei family made its fortune at the time of Wei Qing, and has now become one of the leading families in the country, with a great reputation. Now it has even reached the point where it can have a certain say without setting foot in the court. Therefore, Cai Yong thought that Cai Yong It couldn't be better for Yan to marry Wei Ning, Wei Zhongdao, who is Wei Jian's second brother. Cai Yong believed that Cai Yan would be protected for the rest of his life by following the powerful Wei family, and he, as a father, could rest assured.

It's a pity that the Wei family, like other noble families, also likes alchemists, so Cai Yan's husband Wei Zhongdao, a young man, usually eats five-stone powder, nine-turn golden elixir and the like as snacks. , but not long after Cai Yancai married, Wei Zhongdao vomited blood and died.

Of course, the Wei family doesn't think their son Wei Zhongdao has done anything wrong. The only one who is wrong is Cai Yan. No matter what kind of literary master you are, the hat of a censor is indispensable.

Cai Yan also had a hard temper. In a fit of anger, he even refused to ask for a dowry and returned to the Cai family alone.

Cai Yong, a father, felt distressed and helpless. His precious daughter was not as good as others, so he left Cai Yan at home and became enemies with the Wei family.

Knowing that his father was studying knowledge and had no sleep or food, Cai Yan pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the lamp, and walked to the hall where Cai Yong was.
