    [1] "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked" [1] proverb

    The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked,

    The middle beam was not straight and collapsed.

    In order to exonerate Buhua, Jilie, and Sati, Empress Babuhan fabricated a series of lies, causing the emperor to set up a sacrificial offering and amnesty, so that Buhua and others were freed from their crimes, and escaped from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.  Get away with it; and those heinous sinners have all been forgiven.  Those who have been wronged cannot take revenge, and the treacherous and evil people can slip through the net.

    ? The rules and regulations are disordered, and the rewards and punishments are unclear. How can the country be governed in this way to achieve long-term peace and stability?

    There is a saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.  What's more, the Emperor Taiding was licentious all day long, the empress took advantage of the opportunity to sit in the morning, and all the courtiers became scumbags who worried about gains and losses, and used bribes to get in.  In addition, ordinary villains such as Dao Lasha, Ji Lie, Bu Hua, etc., conspired with the Queen, and only focused on money, so many examples were set-officials and titles can be bought and sold, and only money is needed for salary.  From the six ministries and nine ministers, down to the officials and officials, to the Pingzhang and Shoumu county magistrates of the provinces, they all depend on the rank of the position, and the number of posts is determined by the number of posts.

    As a result, there is a saying in the market: As long as you have money to move, you will be the leader of the people at the court, and you will be at the side in the evening;  gentry.

    How can such an official career not be mixed up?  How can black and white be distinguished in such a sophisticated way of life?  How can a person with a little integrity still be willing to be with these people?  Therefore, loyal ministers and talented people all resigned one after another, living in seclusion, asking for leave In this way, all court ministers and high-ranking officials are using some low-spirited villains.

    Just imagine, these people have spent so much money to get a half-job, how can they not get their money back?  Therefore, those with high official titles blackmailed their subordinates;  How can this be honest and self-sustaining, and care about the people?  It made the common people complain endlessly and wandered about.  The weak turn to the ditch and become hungry; the strong take risks and become thieves.  When people's hearts are sad, natural disasters are discovered, and various provinces have seen disasters one after another, such as landslides, earthquakes, thunderstorms, severe droughts and floods, and other disasters, which have been reported one after another.

    When the emperor saw the disasters reported by the provinces, he was also a little anxious, but instead of self-cultivation and self-reflection, he ordered the monks to do Buddhist deeds in hopes of relief.  Even in Shou'an Temple, monks gathered to recite scriptures for about three years.  I thought that by doing such a great Buddhist work, I can always invite the heavenly family to reduce the disaster, turn the shortage into prosperity, and save the people from the fire and water To tell the truth, the emperor didn't take disasters and accidents to heart at all.  Passed the law and prepared to tour the capital.

    Those courtiers who see the wind and the rudder, seeing that the emperor wants to wander freely in this time of disasters and famines, although they don't think so in their hearts, no one dares to speak out to dissuade them, they are like cold cicadas and horses, letting the emperor do what he wants  How, only obedient promises, promises to welcome future generations.

    [2] Xue Yun/Xue Tao. Poetry of "Eliminating the Ancient Tong Tong in the Courtyard"

    Liu Yun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, became famous because of his participation in playing horse spurs.  In order to stop Liu Yun's mouth, the queen promoted him three ranks and transferred him to Zhongshu Province as the second rank's counselor.

    But things backfired. Liu Yun was an upright person, a loyal and pure minister, seeing the situation in the court, how could he hold back.  But he also knew in his heart that the emperor's promotion for him was not to make you trouble the emperor.

    Seeing many people with lofty ideals retreat to the mountains and forests, he also wanted to learn from them.  But I have no savings and no land.  If you resign, how will you support your wife and children?  Helpless, Liu Yun had no choice but to stay at home doing nothing.

    Seeing her husband who stayed at home all day long and sighing, Liu Bai called her daughter, Liu Haohao, and asked her to take her father out to relax.

    Liu Haohao came to the backyard and saw his father wandering under a sycamore tree.  A dead leaf fell on his head, and he looked up at the tall sycamore tree and suddenly realized something, and recited:

    "Destroy an ancient tung tree in the courtyard, soaring into the clouds."

    Liu Haohao approached his father, and casually continued his father's poem:

    "The branches greet the birds from the north and the south, and the leaves send to the wind."

    When the father looked back and saw that it was his daughter, he was very happy, because the daughter's continuation poems were well-organized and cleverly conceived, and really lived up to his usual teachings.  But I have added a lot of worry in my heart, because if I break this continuation poem to see "Welcome the north and south birds, send the wind to and fro", isn't this wind and dust?  This could not help but add more worries to him.

    Liu Haohao went up to hold his father's hand and said, "Daddy, don't worry about it alone, how about I take you to see the red leaves?"

    Liu Yun smiled and said, "How can there be red leaves?"

    "Xiangshan, Xiangshan has it!"

    "Silly boy, in this season,The red leaves from here?  "

    Liu Haohao couldn't help saying, pulled Liu Yun and walked out, saying: "If you don't go, how do you know?"

    [3] "Nanxiangzi. Autumn Twilight Village Dwelling" Nalan Xingde. Ci

    The red leaves are all over the Hanxi River, and there are empty mountains and thousands of trees all the way.

    Try to go up to the small building and look up and down.

    A piece of smoke cage Shilipi.

    ? Barking dogs and crowing chickens, the lights are shining brightly to return to the lost.

    When chasing Hengshan at first glance, near and far, east and west.

    The family hides their doors alone in the cold forest.

    On the cold stream, there are red fallen leaves; along the way, the mountains and forests are silent and empty; all trees are shrouded in a chill atmosphere.

    Liu Yun and Liu Haohao rode on the horse together, wandering on the fresh and elegant Fragrant Hills, they just felt relaxed and happy, the anxiety of the past few days was swept away, and they became carefree.  He looked at the sumac trees all over the mountain, and now there were only a few red leaves that had not been blown off by the wind.

    Afraid of freezing his daughter, Liu Yun hugged her tightly and complained, "How can there be red leaves in such a cold day?"

    Liu Haohao pointed to the mountain stream with a small hand and said, "Hey~ Look, isn't that~"

    Liu Yun laughed angrily at his daughter's persistence, "Then, the ones on the ground are also counted!"

    Liu said rationally: "Why is it not counted? Could it be that the red leaves are not red leaves when they fall on the ground?"

    Liu Yun was speechless when asked.

    Liu Haohao said cheerfully: "Let's get off the horse quickly, go pick up some, and use them as bookmarks when we go back."

    Liu Yun got off the horse first, then reached out and hugged his daughter off the horse.  He tied the reins of the horse to a big tree by the side of the mountain road, and led his daughter to the stream.

    The creek in the mountain stream has long been frozen, but it is covered with red leaves, which are extraordinarily enchanting under the breeze and sunset.

    The leaves they pick up are completely different¡ªLiu Yun picks up the vicissitudes of time, those lacking edges, corners, and wormholes, the rarer he is; while Liu Yun picks up beautiful ones, the more gorgeous and perfect,  The more she likes it.

    Liu Haohao threw away all the red leaves picked up by her father and said, "Can you put these broken leaves in the book, will you be in a good mood?" She put the big and red leaves she picked up into her father's book.  hands.

    Liu Yun took his daughter's hand, climbed up to the small building on the mountain, and looked into the distance.  I saw mountains stretching high and low, and a smog shrouded dozens of miles of lakes.

    Liu Yun casually picked up a line of poem: "Ten miles of roughness and half of a mile are flat, and only one peak is greeted by another peak. [2]"

    Liu Haohao said casually: "The green mountains are like cocoons wrapping people around, and I don't believe there is a way ahead."

    Liu Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then the little face that hugged his daughter was full of crazy kisses, kissing her so inexplicably, he yelled: "Ah, ah, Daddy, everyone is a big girl now, you can't kiss her  "

    Liu Yun said happily: "Unexpectedly, my heart knot in the past few months was opened by a word from you, a child."

    Liu Haohao wondered: "I've said so much, which one is it?"

    "That's the sentence - the green hills wrap people like cocoons, if you don't believe there is a way ahead."

    "This sentence is nothing! I just feel that my father and I are very small, and the surrounding mountains surround us like cocoons, making me feel like there is no way to go in front of me."

    "Yes, but no matter how tightly the mountains wrap us up, it seems that there is no way to go, in fact, we can always find our way home!"

    Seeing that his inadvertent sentence opened up his father's heart knot, Liu Haohao smiled sweetly.

    Liu Yun said excitedly: "Come on, let's go home. I have to go back and get ready. I will go to work tomorrow [3]."

    Liu Haohao said: "Daddy, you are sick, go to work when you are well!"

    "Didn't my daughter cure my father's illness?"

    "Why don't you spend more time with your daughter at home!"

    "No, Dad is a man, how can a man always stay at home and eat?"

    Liu Haohao sighed like a grown-up: "If I knew this before, why should I treat you"

    Liu Haohao and his father set foot on the way home.

    The barking of the dog is mixed with the crowing of the rooster, the lights are flickering, and there is no way back.  Walking along the horizontal mountain, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes east and sometimes west.  The house is hidden in the depths of the autumn and winter trees, and the door is closed alone.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
