Chapter 462 Yangzhou Slender Horse

Han Zhenhan and Jia Sidao sat at the same table, and exchanged cups. The thin, slender girl knelt on the left and right side, serving on the side. After talking about business, Jia Sidao shouted to Jia Fu, the official behind him, with a little drunkenness.

"Put the thirty thin horses from the inner house into the car, so I can't let Brother Han go back empty. And that... the wine I gave to me by my brother-in-law's official house, in a word... I have to fill my brother's car! Did you hear it!"

The housekeeper who obeyed the orders at the door and took the order and left without any delay. Did Jia Sidao really get drunk? Of course not. Han Zhenhan's strength is not ordinary. Moreover, Han Zhenhan's smartness has already deeply understood it. After chatting for a while, he was afraid that Han Zhenhan would move away the crickets and the magical double-sided cricket basin.

So Jia Sidao deliberately asked his housekeeper to fill Han Zhenhan's carriage. He first said that he had lost the bet, and generously replaced the twenty thin horses that Han Zhenhan wanted for thirty people.

What is this Yangzhou thin horse? In fact, many people know it, but what I have to say here is that Yangzhou thin horses were popular after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and whether there was any during the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, the origin of Yangzhou thin horses was in the early Southern Song Dynasty. The two brothers Cheng founded Neo-Confucianism and made a thorough magnification in Zhu Xi's hands.

It is said that Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is harmful to people and distorts the meaning of the sage. What is Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism? In fact, in Han Zhenhan's view, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism uses gods and uses Confucianism and Taoism to explain the rationality and legitimacy of imperial power. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism replaces the emperor's true destiny with the emperor's laws of heaven, kingly law, and the emperor's natural laws.

While this new Confucianism protects the imperial power, it also protects the interests of men, which is to shackle women. The principles of heaven say that women should obey and four virtues. Since Zhu Xi said,

"Starting to death is small, losing one's fortune is big."

After this sentence, for decades, Confucian scholars all over the world regarded this sentence as the way to control their wives. Women gradually lost more job opportunities and more of their own.

Yangzhou thin horses became popular in the Lianghuai region after Zhu Xi's death. The main reason for their popularity was the habit of Confucian scholars. This abnormal habit began to prevail in the late Southern Song Dynasty and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even during the Republic of China, it was still regarded as an aesthetic standard for women.

However, at this time of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Yangzhou thin horse" refers to a process, the process of raising thin horses, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties it was even more literal. A thin horse must be a very thin horse.

After all, the aesthetic standards of the Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty had a great influence. It can also be said that in the Southern Song Dynasty, the aesthetics of women were still good, very close to the aesthetic standards of modern people.

There is still a big gap between the deformed aesthetics of the Qing Dynasty, which is the kind of willow shoulders without a breast and three-inch golden lotus. The reason why Han Zhenhan wanted a thin horse in Yangzhou was actually just casually saying that Jia Sidao was of course very careful, but since Jia Sidao wanted to give it to him, Han Zhenhan would certainly not refuse. He had 800 brothers and 800 wolves, and thirty girls were not enough for a company to score.

When hearing that Jia Sidao really sent out thirty Yangzhou thin horses, the biggest reflection was Lu Wende, who had been angry all night. If it were in someone else's house, rather than Jia Sidao's last prime minister, the dynasty, Lu Wende would have probably left long ago. However, the relationship between Jia Sidao and the Lu family had already invested a lot, and in order to take Jia Sidao's ship, the Lu family in the northwest had offended too many powerful officials in the court.

It really broke up with Jia Sidao. Jia Sidao turned his head to support Liu Zheng again, and Lu Wende's good life was coming to an end. So he couldn't leave even if he was angry. Lu Wende was still actively trying to find ways to save some situations, but his son who had just left still had not come back. I don't know what happened.

Just as Lu Wende was anxiously waiting for his son to send some chips back to him, what Lu Wende didn't want to hear was pierced in his ears.

"I heard that the Mongolian cavalry stationed in Tubo recently attacked many times. Chengdu Mansion Road, I think this is my brother's heart disease. Brother, I have an immature little suggestion. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Han Zhenhan was completely majestic, but the girl who pinched his shoulders and massaged his back and forth behind him completely destroyed his majestic image. However, his current appearance was very similar to Jia Sidao. Jia Sidao hated those hypocritical Confucian scholars very much. They were all hypocritical, but behind their backs, just like Chen Yizhong sitting in his attack.

For his own career, he was not willing to kneel down and licked his door, but in terms of style, even if he enjoys or squanders, this prince named Han is one of the best.

"Brother, tell me!"

Although he was talking, Jia Sidao actually knew what Han Zhenhan was going to say, because his eyes had floated to Lu Wende. Is there any foreign enemy attacking Chengdu Mansion Road? Lu Wende said yes, and of course Jia Sidao said yes.

So the court and the people went to the court and the country, and the Chengdu Prefecture Road was uneasy. However, there were no generals in charge of Chengdu Prefecture Road. To put it bluntly, this was just a detent designed by Lu Wende, who asked the court to hand over Chengdu Prefecture Road to itself to manage and become its own jurisdiction.

What did Han Zhenhan know? The General Privy Council, who manages the Tubo territory, was the General Privy Council of the Mongol Empire, was Kublai Khan's territory. However, Kublai Khan had already withdrawn his soldiers and led only 10,000 or 20,000 Mongolian soldiers in Tubo, and they were all old, weak and remnants.

Because it is too close to the territory of the Alibu Ge Alliance, it is impossible for the people to start a war here, whether it is Alibu Ge or Kublai Khan to mobilize more food and grass to support the expedition, which is not good for both sides, so this place was simply abandoned by Kublai Khan. There were less than 20,000 people, and the guards were too busy, let alone attacking and harassing Chengdu Prefecture Road.

"Before my Dali restored the country, I made friends with you. Liu Zheng, Lord Liu, Lord Liu is extremely brave. I will give you a great contribution. Brother, do you dare to ask for it?"

"A great contribution? How great is it?"

Jia Sidao raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that the prince was the prince, which was different from the small frontier general. After seeing Han Zhenhan, Jia Sidao looked at Lu Wende with a questioning look.

"Down on the territory and expand the territory by 10,000 miles, and occupying the entire Tubo territory, do you think it's big..."

"hiss!"

The sound of gasp was made by everyone present. However, Liu Jin glanced at everyone present with a proud look on his face, and finally his eyes remained on Lu Wende's body, as if he was provoking.
