Chapter 46: Avoid taboo only because of respect and contempt, flattery regardless of high and low

"Okay." Zhao Jin had to laugh and said, "It's your freedom to change your name."

Fang Yuandu was grateful and said, "Thank you, King Long's kindness, so that the little man's fire will not compete with the bright sun!" What a blessing!"

Zhao Jin smiled and joked, "For good that you are just a taboo name. If your brother's surname is 'Qin', do you have to change his surname?

This is just a joke. According to the set of taboos in ancient China, the name must be avoided, and the surname cannot be changed. Only a few very violent or superstitious monarchs will force people to change their surnames. For example, Shi Jingzhen, the great ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, forced the Han people with the surname Jing to change their surname.

Unexpectedly, when the Fang brothers heard Zhao Jin's words, they suddenly became serious and said, "How can we not change?"

Fang Mianzhi thought carefully: "If our surname is 'Qin', we should change our surname to 'Yong'. Qin belongs to Yongzhou.

Fang Jianzhi also spoke enthusiastically: "In my opinion, it is appropriate to change the surname to 'Ying', and the surname of the State of Qin is also."

Fang Yuandu's discussion: "It's not! The surname should be 'Ji'.' Qin's surname comes from the surname 'ji', and he returned to his original surname, and Ye Luo returned to the root!"

The ministers of Yan Han felt funny when they saw them discussing it so solemnly. Zhao Jin smiled happily and thought in his heart, "He Anping is right. These three brothers are all knowledgeable. It is by no means an ordinary slang. Their names: diligence, encouragement and simplicity are exactly three elements for politicians. Their words: Yuandu, Cigong and Jicai all mean to be governors. Obviously, their elders expect extraordinary from them. People, like their names, will naturally work in this direction.

The maid served the dishes and poured wine. Zhao Jin invited Fang's brothers to the banquet. During the banquet, the Fang brothers took the initiative and got up to toast in turn, as if they were their masters, honoring and praising the Yan and Han ministers present. After three rounds of drinking, they rushed to serve Zhao Yu.

Xu Yu always paid attention to protecting Zhao Jin's safety. Seeing that they rushed to the master's side, she hurriedly touched her waist. However, during the banquet, there is no weapon as usual. Moreover, the Fang brothers have already surrounded Zhao Jin, pounding their legs and backs, and massaged them in an all-round way. Xu Yu was shocked and saw that they had no intention of assassination, so she breathed a sigh of relief and secretly warned herself that she must learn this lesson. In the future, we must strengthen our guard and never let any outsider suddenly approach the lord.

Not only Xu Yu, but also Hu Ben, who served as a guard around him, forgot to stop him for a moment. They looked at each other and said, "Dangerous! Fortunately, they were not assassinated. We are actually confused by their performance and lose our duty. We must learn lessons and be more vigilant in the future!"

The three brothers massaged Zhao Jin all over his body, praising the great king Wencheng Wude, the most benevolent and the most holy. Zhao Jin smiled and said, "You don't have to work hard to support me. If you really want to be an official, I'll do it for you." The three brothers were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked them. Zhao Jin helped up and said, "You don't have to. In fact, in order to strengthen the country and security the country, I have been implementing the policy of collecting talents. Your brother came to vote, and I couldn't wait for it. So, my local officials are very short. How about appointing your three brothers as meritorious officials?

Gong Cao is the deputy of the governor of the state government. According to the ancient official system, he belongs to the six-grade officials, which is already quite small. At present, there are only 13 state capitals in Yanhan. Moreover, the current appeasement system is only temporary, and there will be a full-time governor of the state government in the future. At that time, the Taishou will often be promoted by meritorious Cao. Zhao Jin explained this to the Fang brothers and said that he appreciated them very much, so he gave them a heavy use.

But the three brothers shook their heads and said, "Greater Longen, I can't thank you enough!" Yuan Du said, "However, the villain only wants to be by the king's side and see the king's face from time to time!" He said, "The villain doesn't want to be a big official outside, but only wants to stay in Beijing as a small minister!" Jian said, "I would like to be a little minister! I would like to be a little minister!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jin pondered again and said for the time being, "Well, wait a few days, I want to be an official for you."

No matter what official position the three brothers can get, they just give a grand thanks: "My lord, Longen! The little minister is engraved in his heart and dares not do his best to repay the lord!"

Well, this has already claimed to be a little minister and called the master. It seems that they have settled Zhao Jin's salary and are going to stay in Yanhan.

After the banquet, the three brothers gave all Zhao Jin's rewards to the Byzantine knights, asked the knights to bring back letters to Emperor Mikheil VIII and greeted the two princesses. That is to say, our brothers admire the emperor and princess very much. Now that they are officials in the Han country, they will certainly remember the emperor and princess and work hard to promote the friendship between the two countries. The guards sent by the Principality of Rostov were also properly dismissed. The three brothers have been in business and become rich over the years, but they don't care much about money.

Then, they immediately moved their families to Yanhan and sent a message.

How to send a message? It turns out that the third brother Jianzhi has been playful since he was a child, especially loves to raise all kinds of animals. Raising and raising, a stunt has been developed - taming pigeons. How to domesticate pigeons is a rare skill in this era. Generally, Confucians must disdain such juggling and carving tricks, but they are persistent and study the art of domestication. Although the pigeons he trained are not as good at dancing as the pigeons of some Jianghu artists, they have real skills - thousands of miles of books!

Over the years, the three brothers have walked around and often stayed away from their relatives. Jane often takes some pigeons with him and relies on them to deliver family letters. At this time, Jianzhi took two pigeons, wrapped a roll of silk on their legs, said "pigeon words" to them, and let them go. They will fly to Venice and Damascus respectively. Venice has family members and Damascus has good friends. There is a letter written in small letters on the thin silk, telling his friends to escort their families and come to Yanhan to get together.

In the next few days, the three Fang brothers tried their best to surprise Zhao Jin. Fang Jianzhi loved animals and was proficient in veterinarians, so he did a physical examination for Zhao Jin's BMW galloping. There was nothing wrong with galloping, and Jianzhi insisted on diagnosing the sheep used in the inner palace. He took the trouble to check thousands of sheep one by one, and they were treated and maintained without any diseases.

Why are there so many sheep in the inner palace? It turns out that it is for transportation! You can't run a horse in the inner palace, can you? What kind of style is it? And what if you bump into a delicate maid? The cow is big and easy to hurt people when it is frightened, which is not convenient. Therefore, small and controll sheep are used in the inner uterus. The sheep cart is a good thing. The maids grow vegetables, weave cloth and so on in the palace. They use the sheep cart when they need transportation, which is light and convenient.

Speaking of sheep carts, there is an interesting thing. Once in ancient China, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin, destroyed the State of Wu and got tens of thousands of maids of honor. The beauty in Jiangnan lives up to her reputation, and Sima Yan is dazzling. Because there are too many beautiful women, I don't know which one to spoil every day, so I drive a sheep cart, close my eyes and refresh myself. Wherever the sheep cart goes, I will be lucky to go.

Zhao Jin has also learned this trick now. Because he couldn't find a descendant for a year, and he was afraid of criticism from his subjects, Zhao Jin was worried and thought: If he deliberately asked for it, maybe he couldn't ask for it, can he do it casually? So Zhao Jin also took the sheep cart and went to fate to hit luck. As for whether to bump into one or two heirs, we will have to take a look later.

Feng Jianzhi not only has unique skills, but also Fang Mianzhi - he is good at cooking! To say his level, it can only be said that the women in the inner palace are beyond their ability! Even Zhao Jin's two little sisters, Xing'er and Ping'er, are not as good as him.

This is because the Fang brothers traveled around the countries, and Fang Mianzhi studied the food culture wherever they went, and constantly tried various materials and various methods. For orthodox Confucianism, cooking is naturally the last skill that does not go into the flow; Fang Mianzhi doesn't care, just study hard and reach the level of the world alone!

Zhao Jin ate the delicious food made by Fang Mian and shook his head and finally waved his tail, and finally issued the appointment result: "In response to the Shunmin, the king of Yan Han said: Fang Yuandu is appointed as the history of singing, Fang Mianzhi as the history of Shangchen, and Fang Jianzhi as Bi Ma Wen."

The edict is that among the ministers, they are astonished and uneducated, and all of them laugh secretly.

The history of fame, the official responsible for the naming of the imperial court before the meeting.

Shang Shanshi, an official in charge of the king's meal. Originally, this was a "shang food supervisor" who was in charge of the eunuch in the palace. Now Yan Han does not have an eunuch system, and it is applied according to his aptitude. Since Fang Mianzhi is good at cooking, it is very appropriate to be this small official.

Bima Wen, needless to say this, anyway, Fang Jianzhi is really suitable.

In order to test the loyalty of the three brothers, Zhao Jin deliberately let them be minor officials. He Anping knew that the king meant to be a temptation and watched with a smile. But some people are dissatisfied with this. Compared with how Pan, I feel that even a minor official can't do it for them. The official is also very important! What if Shang Shanshi poisons the horse in the meal and Bi Ma Wen gives the horse laxatives?

The three brothers happily obeyed the edict and served as ministers in Yanhan from then on. Whether they are facing up or down, they must flatter anyone they meet. For the generals to praise their merits and virtues, for the civil servants, even ordinary guards and even handymen, they all have high hats.

Qi Jin, the governor of Zhendong, is a straightforward man. He is a little unhappy to see these more people in the court. When he retreated from the court, he met them to greet him, and Qi Jin smiled and said, "Congratulations to the three adults, Rong Ren Mingshi, Shang Shanshi and Bi Mawen. With the virtuous brothers, our country is expected to prosper.

"prosperity" is the "public saying", and it is ironic to learn to use it on the three brothers. Unexpectedly, the three brothers were overjoyed and repeatedly said, "I dare not do it! Don't dare! The governor is the mainstay of the country, and we all rely on the blessing of the lord!"

Qi Jin and ridiculed: "I heard that Lord Bi Ma Wen is very talented, and he works hard every day. The governor's mount is sick in the trough. Can you take a look?

When the Fang brothers heard the words, they were flattered and scrambled to agree.

Yuandu rushed to the front and said, "There is no need for a third brother, and the subordinate is also a veterinarian. I dare to ask the governor to treat your BMW to the official. Fortunately, how can it be like this!"

Jane said hurriedly, "My brother takes the lead, but my younger brother can't lag behind. To tell the truth, the subordinates look down on the horse, and they will definitely be able to heal the precious BMW safely and add energy!" - This "double the spirit" is also "public saying", thanks to him, he learned it all of a sudden.

The two brothers are competing for the lead, and Fang Mianzhi is not willing to show weakness: "Although the subordinate doesn't know the doctor and horse, he is good at playing the piano. If the governor doesn't dislike it, he can listen to the official playing the piano while watching the eldest brother and his third brother.

The people around them wanted to laugh, but the three brothers were serious and never looked down on the horse. When they first arrived, in fact, they still didn't know the identity of Qi Jin. They only heard him say "the governor", so they called him "Lord Du". When I returned to the library and inquired, I realized that Qi Jin was still the son-in-law and married the fourth sister of the king, Princess Yuluan. The three brothers did not dare to neglect, and they didn't even have time to eat. They hurriedly brought medical supplies and rushed to the mansion in Beijing.
