0005 Family Studies

In later history, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty court ruled by the decaying gate lords, Tao Kan, a famous general from a poor family, was definitely a standout. It's a pity that the www.biquge.info is jealous of the Wang brothers at the moment and is sent to a remote place in Jiaozhou, so Shen Zhezi did not take it into account in his previous analysis. But when Dad was thinking about the aftermath, he did not ignore this power, which shows that the meticulousness of his mind is far beyond his own ability.

Historically, Tao Kan experienced a period of neglect, and after Wang Dun's death, the imperial court had few available generals, so he was transferred to the important town of Jingzhou to weaken the power of the Langya royal family in the local town. During this period, Tao Kan's power also reached its peak, especially after the Su Jun Rebellion, and even Wang Dao, who had even moved to abolish the central government, shows the great power.

The gift that Shen Chong gave to Tao Kan was not wealth, but hundreds of acres of land and nearly 100 slaves, which was different from Liu Yao and Su Jun, who were also in charge of the army. Shen Zhezi smacked the difference, and felt more and more that his father was really amazing, and he had a nuanced insight into the situation and even personnel. No matter how much floating wealth there is, it can't be compared with the landland people who are the foundation of the family, so it can be seen that in the father's mind, Tao Kan's importance is far better than the former.

Regarding his father's behavior of bribing Tao Kan, Shen Zhezi felt quite uncomfortable. In his mind, Tao Kan, who was born in a high position from a poor family, was a perfect person with good virtue and ability, and white jade was as flawless and clean as a white jade, how could he secretly communicate and collude with his father, a group of powerful sect thieves who had no court and ignored etiquette! There was a sense of disillusionment and loss in my heart.

But after thinking about it, the so-called promotion and wealth, why can those corpse vegetarian scholars be high-ranking officials and enjoy wealth and wealth, while a truly capable person like Tao Kan should be willing to be poor? Thinking about it like this, he was relieved, and then thought that Tao Yuanming, the descendant of Tao Kan, might pick chrysanthemums in Nanshan on the land sent by his father many years later, and Shen Zhezi faintly felt a sense of accomplishment in witnessing historical changes.

Seeing his father's series of aftermath measures, Shen Zhezi opened his eyes, but also felt more and more inadequate. The so-called prophet of history actually does not have much advantage in this specific realistic situation, he can only believe that his father must not make trouble with Wang Dun, but he is confused about how to deal with the aftermath in the future.

After all, in the eyes of the people of the time, Dad is already a die-hard fan of Wang Dun, and after years of mixing, how can he say that he won't play if he doesn't play! If we conspire against the same party, we must naturally crack down on it with all our might. It is conceivable that even if Dad no longer participates in the final battle between Wang Dun's army and the imperial court, the situation he faces is extremely dangerous, and he may not be able to escape the reckoning afterwards.

However, in such a dangerous situation, Shen Chong remained calm and calm, resigned from the imperial court to retreat, contacted allies to consolidate his own strength and ensure safety, and at the same time made overtures to all the military forces that the imperial court could mobilize.

The Wuxing Shen family is not a soft persimmon, and those generals who command the army are not fools, since they can get the benefits of wealth for nothing, they can't afford to offend the Jiangdong wealthy family to death. The power lost is one's own, and even if he gets the title of reward from the imperial court afterwards, it will not outweigh the loss. In reality, it is an indisputable fact that the court is weak, even if it is helpless, it must be faced.

In addition to Shen Chong's arrangement, he was also observing Shen Zhezi, and saw that his son looked thoughtful, obviously peeking some clues from his own arrangement. He was quite relieved in his heart, but he didn't explain the deep meaning of his measures to Shen Zhezi in detail, the so-called words and deeds are all based on self-understanding, and the rhyme that words can describe has fallen behind.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the people were open-minded, and there was no shortage of romantic figures. Although Shen Chong was surprised by his son's early wisdom, he didn't think it was such an incredible thing. Xiang Qi was a saint teacher at the age of seven, Gan Luo worshiped Shangqing at the age of 12, and Wei Caochong was six years old and not inferior to an adult, why couldn't his Shen family produce an eight-year-old prodigy?

However, Shen Chong was happy, but also worried, those who were wise in ancient times may not be immortal, although his son is smart, but his physique has always been weak, and he has been seriously ill and dying recently. Thinking of those prodigies who died early in ancient times, Shen Chong felt even more melancholy, and when the matter at hand was dealt with, he pulled Shen Zhezi to his side and said softly: "Qingque, how are you doing lately?" ”

Hearing his father ask this, Shen Zhezi was quite shocked.

His body is indeed weak, not at all like those bear children in later generations, and the alternation of cold and heat is slightly obvious, and he will have typhoid fever. Maybe there are some deficiencies in the congenital nature, but the Shen family is strong, and the drink is nutritious, and it can be carefully recuperated and improved, why do you still look like you died early? Shen Zhezi was puzzled at first, but when two large bowls of talisman water were poured down yesterday morning, he probably knew where the crux was.

In the current world, the Tao of the Heavenly Master is popular in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Shen family is also a faithful believer who has believed in the Tao of the Heavenly Master for generations, and then they also trust those Taoist priests. Shen Zhezi does not deny that Taoism has its own health regimen, such as Ge Hong, who was very famous in later generations, and lived to the point of tooth. However, in this era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the teachings were growing barbarically, there were many so-called Taoist priests and the like, and there were few real talents. Shen Zhezi secretly thought that the reason why he was able to pass through this body was that most of his predecessor was drenched to death by the talisman water bought with a lot of money.

Shen Zhezi didn't want to be an unprecedented premature traverser, afraid that his father would refill himself with talisman water, so he hurriedly said: "It's much better, although it's still a little weak, you can get strong with a proper diet and careful care, don't worry, father." ”

"That's good."

Shen Chong smiled and patted Shen Zhezi on the back, but he didn't know what his son thought, but he had a thought in his heart: I heard that Shamen had a son earlier, and he could be blessed with Antai, and he would take some time later, but he would like to take a closer look and choose a Buddha and Bodhisattva to support.

Skipping this matter, Shen Chong wanted to know more about his son, so he chatted and asked, "What are you studying now?" ”

"I am studying the Book of Poetry and Calling the South." Shen Zhezi replied that this was the truth that he inherited the memory of his predecessor.

"The national style is innocent and lively, and the noble, hungry and poor have their own songs, which are lyrical, affectionate, and sincere, which is in line with your age. The Song of Songs can be studied again after the age of ten. Shen Chong bowed slightly, commenting.

Shen Zhezi didn't have any attainments in Chinese studies, and although he could hear what his father said clearly, he really didn't understand what it meant, so he just nodded in agreement.

After a little muttering, he picked up a scroll in his hand and said to Shen Zhezi with a smile: "Everyone says that the Shen family is rich, and there is no family to study, and I don't bother to argue with those people." In fact, our Shen family, starting from your great-grandfather, has governed "Ram Spring and Autumn", although there is no scripture for everyone, and the industry is already abiding. ”

Shen Zhezi probably understood what his father was talking about, and it should be the so-called heirloom of the scholar clan. Family learning, family style is the foundation of the clan, the generations have not faded, and then become a county, which is the most obvious in the northern high gate, Cui Lu and his ilk have the scriptures and family learning passed down from generation to generation, which is the foundation of the family. The so-called moral heirloom is more than ten generations, and the rich heirloom is only three generations. A thousand-year-old family, the study of scripture is fundamental.

"Your grandfather once taught me when he was alive that this is not a world of inaction, how can you respect Lao Zhuang alone. So what taught me was also "Ram Spring and Autumn". The Spring and Autumn Period is subtle and profound, broad and profound, and what I have seen has stopped at treachery, alienated from the right path, and lived up to the expectations of my ancestors. ”

Shen Chong said this, sighed, and said: "The surname of overseas Chinese from the south, such as the likes of the Langya Wang family, abandons Confucianism and enters the mysteries. ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his evaluation of his father couldn't help but be a little higher.
