It has snowed twice in Chang'an.

The first snowfall was relatively light, and it seemed to pass without much feeling.

The second snowfall was much heavier, covering Chang'an with a thick layer of silver armor.

Fei Qian wore a red cloak and walked slowly into Weiyang Palace.

Before entering the gate of Weiyang Palace, a soldier came up from behind and handed guard Fei Qian a note. The guard took it and handed it to Fei Qian.

Fei Qian opened it, glanced down, then put it away and continued walking forward.

Weiyang Palace was built by Liu Bang, and then Liu Bang died in Changle Palace. When he died, I don’t know if he had any thoughts about Weiyang Palace. Then Weiyang Palace was carried forward during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade.

In the heyday of Weiyang Palace, the front hall was the Qianchao Hall. It was located in the middle of Weiyang Palace. It was built according to the terrain of Longshou Plateau and gradually rose to the north. The buildings were well-proportioned and the view was broad. As the main hall of the imperial palace, all important palaces of the country were included.

Ceremonial activities are all held in the front hall, including but not limited to enthronement, edicts, weddings, court visits, funerals...

Now, Fei Qian took a sideways glance at Liu Miao, the palace bureau chief of the Shaofu Palace, who was in charge of the renovation work of Changle Palace in Weiyang Palace.

This guy Liu Zhen has a great reputation, but he doesn't do things very well.

No, the heavy snow crushed the Qingliang Hall of Weiyang Palace!

In such a cold weather, Liu Yao still had some beads of sweat on his forehead. He secretly wiped it when Fei Qian wasn't paying attention, and then wiped it again after a while.

The front hall building complex of Weiyang Palace is in good repair. After all, it is the "face" of Weiyang Palace. After the snow has been swept away from the road in the middle, there are not many weeds and broken bricks. The guardrails of the high platform of the front hall are also complete.

Fei Qian turned around slightly and looked around. His face became slightly better, which also made Liu Qian take a breath of relief.

Liu Biao was not originally under Fei Qian, but was in Liu Biao's arms first, but wasn't Liu Biao old? Then nothing would work. Well, the main reason was that Liu Biao's control declined in the later period. In order to prevent these guys from having any objections, he became more murderous.

, and killed some guys who thought they were famous and acted randomly, including Liu Wang's good friend Liu Wang.

Liu Xie was afraid of being implicated, so he fled. He originally wanted to go to Xu County, but in the end, either Xu County was captured by Fei Qian's troops, or he turned around and defected to Fei Qian...

After all, Liu Zhen and Sima Hui had some connections back then.

Fei Qian didn't like people like Liu Biao who were famous but not very capable, so he didn't take it seriously. Due to Sima Hui's face, and considering that Liu Biao originally worked in Liu Biao

They were also responsible for similar projects there, so Liu Yao was sent here to be responsible for the daily construction and maintenance of Weiyang Palace.

Now it is obvious that fame is of no use. Fame is not important when the palace collapses.

After turning around the front hall, we arrived at the back hall complex of Weiyang Palace.

Among the apse complex of Weiyang Palace, the most famous one is Jiaofang Hall. But now, only the broken eaves and broken walls of Jiaofang Hall are left, which are generally surrounded and have not been completely restored.

There was nothing that could be done about it. At the time of Wang Mang, Weiyang Palace was on fire, and then it was almost repaired. After Dong Zhuo's death, Chang'an was in chaos again, and Weiyang Palace did not escape, and there was another fire...

Especially among the common people, there are rumors that in the back hall of Weiyang Palace, there are various treasures of the Han Dynasty. They are not necessarily property, even if they are pepper mud from Jiaofang Palace, bronze mirrors from Zhaoyang Palace, etc.

The fragrant trees of Feiyan Palace are all good things that can make the mother-in-law in the family stronger when she gives birth to a son, and the daughter who gives birth to a daughter is more beautiful...

Therefore, in times of chaos, these things in Weiyang Palace, especially those in the back hall, suffered a lot. Just like the bricks of Leifeng Pagoda in later generations, if they are not surrounded, no matter whether they really have some demon-suppressing magic power, they will be destroyed that day.

I picked up pieces here and there...

Liu Zhen was young and felt that he was very ambitious. As a result, he was assigned to repair the palace complex that obviously did not receive much attention. At the beginning, he may have felt that he needed to do something to make a career, but as time went by, he became slack.

Already.

The Qingliang Hall is among the apse halls and originally corresponded to the Greenhouse Hall.

When the weather is cold, the emperor will go to the Greenhouse Hall to stay warm in the winter. When the weather is hot, he will naturally stay in the Qingliang Hall. According to legend among residents, the entire palace of Qingliang Hall is made of crystal, with various kinds of glazed glass, and is filled with treasures from the Western Regions.

The palace was built for the emperor to play in during the summer vacation...

But in fact, the Qingliang Hall is just hollowed out on purpose, and the windows are ventilated and transparent. The crystal glass and the like are simply non-existent.

It is precisely because the structure of Qingliang Hall is relatively transparent and has fewer weighing walls. As a result, it fell into disrepair and Liu Gong did not notice it in time, and now it collapsed under the weight of heavy snow.

This is quite embarrassing.

Although the current Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace in Chang'an are only for the sake of appearance and have little practical value, they still need face after all. Just like the basic use value of luxury goods and ordinary utensils in later generations is similar, Snow Goose

Just like white ducks, which can keep you warm, but there are still people who are willing to pay a lot of money for the added value, there were also many people in the Han Dynasty who focused on the face of the royal family.

Fei lurked in front of the collapsed Qingliang Hall and checked the situation at the scene.

From a certain point of view, this cannot be said to be entirely Liu Gong's fault. After all, before Liu Gong, Qingliang Hall had been in disrepair for a long time and was damaged during the war.

Liu's biggest problem is that he didn't discover it in time and neglected inspections.

The loss cannot be entirely attributed to Liu Yao, but due to dereliction of duty, he did not run away.

"Kyoshi..."

Fei Qian put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

Liu Xian hurriedly took half a step forward, with his head lowered and his back bent, as if he was a small employee seeing the chairman, "I'm here."

"Why couldn't we inspect in time?" Fei Qian asked slowly.

Liu Xi raised his head as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and lowered his head again, "I am guilty... I left my duty privately and stayed in Qinglong Temple for many days and failed to conduct inspections in time..."

Fei Qian nodded slightly.

This is basically consistent with the results that Fei Qian had previously investigated.

It is true that Liu Gong was derelict in his duties, but fortunately Liu Gong did not cover up his mistake and then made a second mistake.

Qinglong Temple is indeed very lively recently.

There are so few entertainment projects in the Han Dynasty that the "salon" model similar to that of later generations has become a lively entertainment place for the current organizing committee of Qinglong Temple.

In the Jin Dynasty, casual conversations were somewhat similar to "salons", but they were still dominated by men. It was not until the Song Dynasty that women became the hosts of "salons" and invited celebrities to participate...

Why is it said that the current Qinglong Temple is somewhat similar to the "Salon" of later generations? It is because this time Xin Xianying launched an activity similar to the "Salon" in Qinglong Temple.

Xin Xianying is getting older and is approaching the age of marriage, so the "salon" hosted by her has more or less the flavor of choosing a husband. Although Xin Xianying's current age will still be considered by future generations,

The starting point is three years, but in the current Han Dynasty, it is not far from the marriage and childbearing line for most women in the Han Dynasty.

In fact, to some extent, the marriage age of women from the gentry is relatively late, and not all of them like Zhang Fei to snatch lolita. However, for most common people, especially the people at the lowest level, the age of marriage for women is relatively late.

They are almost stuck on the red line, and the poorer the area, the more so.

On the one hand, it is national taxation. The rulers in the feudal era have known about the demographic dividend for a long time, so it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing to let the people at the grassroots level have more children in a vast land with sparsely populated areas.

The second aspect is due to poverty. Many poor families don’t even have clothes. Children can still run around naked. But when the little girl grows up, she can’t run around naked anymore. It’s obvious that she has to be locked in a room all the time.

It's not cost-effective, so getting married early has become a necessity.

Liu Yao is about 20 years old, so it is normal for him to be attracted by the "Salon" hosted by Xin Xianying. Whether it is for the people or the things to discuss, he lingers so much that he forgets his daily work while staying at Qinglong Temple.

"What is being discussed in Qinglong Temple now?" Fei Qian asked as he asked people to start cleaning the snow on the landslide. Gu

The snow is quite deep and it will take some time to clean it up.

Liu Xie lowered his head and replied: "On whether the pre-Qin burning books and entrapping Confucianism is true or false..."

"Huh?" Fei Qian was slightly stunned.

During this period of time, Fei Qian was paying attention to the changes in Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu, and did not focus on Qinglong Temple, so naturally he did not know about this popular topic.

Is this a problem...?

In fact, before the current discussion in Qinglong Temple about burning books and entrapping Confucianism, Fei Qian had discussed it with Pang Tong and even Zheng Xuan and others more than once. To a certain extent, it had already been concluded. However, for some reasons,

I didn’t throw out this conclusion, but I didn’t expect that Xin Xianying would make it a “salon” issue.

This is somewhat interesting.

Fei Qian thought it was an ordinary discussion of scripture verses, but he didn't expect it to be such a "special" topic. "Burning books and entrapping Confucianism", Fei Qian's understanding of this issue almost grew up step by step.

And it will be like going up a flight of stairs. Looking back at it after a while, you will have different perceptions.

When Qin Shihuang first implemented the policy, maybe he didn't expect that the second generation would collapse?

Although Fei Qian has not paid any attention to it because of the affairs in Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan at the moment, if it becomes lively, it will definitely attract Fei Qian's attention.

so……

Did Xin Xianying come up with this topic on her own, or did someone think of it for her? Does Xin Xianying know what the key point of this topic is?

"Do you have anything to say?" Fei Qian asked Liu Jidao.

Liu Xian raised his eyes and glanced at Fei Qian, then lowered his head and said: "I thought... Qin's burning of books may be a fraud, or he may be a sham..."

Fei Qian was noncommittal, "Tell me about it..."

"When I was a child, I studied the Five Classics and often commented on it. Qin burnt the Five Classics and killed Confucian scholars. It is common knowledge among the Five Classics families... I am a disciple of the Five Classics. I often sigh and feel that if Qin had not burned books, the classics would have been lost."

There is no need to be so scattered and lost, and it is not necessary for the ministers to be dictated by Fu Sheng in the early Han Dynasty, and to obtain the knowledge of modern texts and transcribe them..." Liu Xi said slowly, then secretly glanced at Fei Qian, as if to check

He looked at Fei Qian's expression to judge whether he should continue speaking.

Fei Qian is now becoming more and more accustomed to this kind of speculation and observation from all aspects, so he nodded slightly with an expressionless face and motioned for Liu Xi to continue.

This in itself is a definite fact.

Qin Shihuang did have a decree to collect books from various families. This is not an injustice to Qin Shihuang, but Qin Shihuang collected books from various families not to make a fire in the cold winter, but to castrate the cultural spirits of various countries.
