The autumn of 549 BC.Laizhou Bay.seaside.One afternoon.The sun is shining brightly. A row of two or three feet high waves "suddenly" surged onto the beach and receded slowly.After a while, another row of waves came up.A flock of seagulls hovered low above the sea, chirping.Suddenly, a seagull plunged into the water like an arrow from the string, and rushed out of the water in a blink of an eye, flying into the sky with a small fish still struggling in its mouth.Immediately, several companions swooped over and competed with it for food. On the sea in the distance.Dotted with a dozen fishing boats.

On a beach not far from the shore.In the rows of salt pools, some are full of seawater, some are only half full of water, and some are no longer watery. There is a layer of gray salt flowers on the bottom of the pool, shining under the autumn sun. Around a small village farther offshore.In patches of farmland, farmers are doing farm work. In one of the farmlands, the high ones are corn, the low ones are sweet potatoes, and there are several rows of green vegetables.A man is waving his head, planing a row of sweet potatoes that have been cut off.Although there were gusts of wind blowing from the direction of the sea, he still stopped from time to time, panting heavily, leaning on the shovel with one hand, and pulling a white cloth towel from his belt with the other, wiping his sweaty face.He was neither tall nor fat, but he looked solid, and he wore a coarse cotton jacket, the sleeves of which were rolled up, no different from those of local peasants.Although his long round face and bare arms have been exposed to the sun and the sea breeze, his skin is slightly black and red, and there are still a few beards floating on his cheeks and chin, but it is still obvious that he is not yet young. Forty years old, about thirty-five or sixteen years old.Under his thick black eyebrows, a pair of piercing eyes, high nose bridge, and white teeth, he looks like a refined scholar rather than a native farmer.

Behind him, a young woman dressed as a peasant woman, with a six or seven-year-old girl and a three or four-year-old boy, was shaking the dug out pieces of sweet potatoes from the soil and putting them into a basket.The two children yelled happily while picking it up. "Mom, look, I picked up another big one!" "Mom, sister is not as big as me!" The young woman was slender, with a good face. She looked only in her early twenties, but she was already the mother of two children. While doing the work she was doing, she agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, the ones picked up by Qingqing and Miaomiao are big!"

The sun has set to the west. "Qingqing's father, rest for a while and drink some water!" The young woman followed the local custom, regardless of whether the eldest child in the family was a boy or a girl, she only needed to add "his father" or "his father" after the child's name. The word "her father" has become a title for her husband.She put a piece of sweet potato in the basket, wiped off the dirt on her hands, and then pulled out a white cloth towel from the lapel to wipe her hands. While greeting her husband, she walked towards the food basket and clay pots on the ground .

When the husband heard his wife's greeting, he quickly put down the shovel in his hand, and while wiping the sweat from his face and arms with a cloth towel, he called to the children: "Qingqing, Miaomiao, let's go drink some water!" "Okay! Go drink water!" The two children threw down the sweet potatoes in their hands and shouted happily. One on each side, they took their father's hand and walked towards the ground. The wife first wiped the hands of the two children with a cloth towel, then took out two clay bowls from the food basket, laid them flat on the ground one by one, and poured the water in the clay pots into the bowls.

"Father, you drink first!" The girl sensiblely picked up a bowl of water and held it in front of her father who had just sat firmly on the ground. "Qingqing is really sensible!" The father took the water bowl with a smile, and while talking, brought the bowl to his daughter's mouth, "Come on, take the first sip first, and Dad will drink later." "No, Daddy will take the first sip first!" The daughter stubbornly pushed the bowl towards her father, while turning her head to one side. "Okay, okay, daddy drinks first, daddy drinks first!"

"Mother, you drink first!" The boy imitated the little sister, took another bowl of water with his immature hands, and raised it to his mother's mouth. The water in the bowl flickered, almost spilling out. "Okay, okay, mother will drink first, mother will drink first!" The mother hurriedly took the bowl with one hand, held the boy in her arms with the other, and then put the bowl to the boy's mouth. The boy had forgotten the order of drinking first and then drinking, and opened his mouth wide to drink water. "Miao Miao, is it sweet?" The mother asked her son with a smile.

"Sweet!" The son raised his head, and while answering his mother's question with a smile, he pushed the bowl to his mother's mouth, "Mother drinks too, and mother drinks too!" "Cuiyu," the husband handed the water bowl to Qingqing, looked up at his wife, and called her by name, "It's getting late, I think we'll plan so many sweet potatoes today. I'll pull some vegetables back later and give them to Uncle Li Send some home too. Do you like it?" "Okay, okay." The wife answered her husband's question with a smile while holding a bowl for Miao Miao to drink.

At this moment, a man came running from the direction of the village, and before reaching the sweet potato field, he called out loudly: "Doctor Yan! Doctor Yan!" Hearing someone calling, the man who was called "Doctor Yan" didn't know what happened, and quickly stood up from the ground: "Brother Zhang, what happened? What happened?" The man called "Brother Zhang" ran to the sweet potato field where the "Dr. Yan" family was resting, panting heavily, and smiled honestly: "I just came back from the capital, and I have something new to tell Dr. Yan. Say."

This brother Zhang is tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dark red complexion, and rough skin. He is also dressed as a local farmer, but his arms are not exposed. Seeing Brother Zhang coming, Cuiyu quickly took out an empty bowl from the food basket, and poured water from the earthen pot into the bowl. "Doctor Yan" said with a little reproach: "Brother Zhang, I have been in our Mingchuan Village for more than a year, and I don't know how many times I have told you that I am no longer a 'doctor', you just call me 'Yan'." Baby' or 'Ping Zhong' will do."

"Hahahaha!" Brother Zhang laughed as he took the water bowl from Cuiyu, "The folks all respect you, and you're used to it, I'm afraid you won't be able to change it!" "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if you don't change it, just tell me what's new in the capital!" Yan Ying urged impatiently. Brother Zhang took a sip of water, then pulled Yan Ying to sit down on the ground, and then said in a slightly mysterious way: "This matter has been spread all over the city, but people in our village don't know it yet. Say it: One day half a month ago at noon, all the city gates of the capital were suddenly closed. The people in the city thought that there was a disaster in the country, so they took up weapons and gathered at the entrance of their own alleys. The atmosphere in the city was extremely tense. When the king knew about it, He quickly summoned the ministers to the palace to discuss countermeasures, saying: "I ordered the closure of the city gate to prepare for the attack on Ju, but the people in the city mistakenly thought that there was a disaster in the country, resulting in such a tense situation. Dear dear friends, What do you think is better?" Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one speaks. Finally, a minister named Sui Xiuxiang stood up and said to the king: "My lord, there is no disaster in the country, but the people However, they thought that there was a disaster. It was because since the resignation of Dr. Yan Ying, the common people felt that there was no sage in the court, and the country might have a disaster at any time. Therefore, in order to ease the current tense situation, I am afraid that the only way to ask the Lord to send someone to The people in the city issued an announcement, saying that Dr. Yan is still in the court, how can there be disasters in the country?' The monarch had no choice but to send someone to make an announcement quickly. Feeling at ease, one after another put away their weapons and went back to their homes. Only then did the capital settle down." After talking vividly about the new things in the capital, Brother Zhang held up the water bowl with his left hand, "gudong", "gudong" drank the water in one go, without even wiping his mouth, he raised his right thumb: "Mr. The people of the country and the whole country believe in you and respect you, and with you in the court, the hearts of all people will be at ease!" After listening to Big Brother Zhang's narration and praise, Yan Ying not only did not show a trace of joy, but seemed to have aroused something on his mind, his face was solemn, his eyes looked straight into the distance, and he murmured for a long time: "Wars continue one after another. The people of the country suffer!" evening.Smoke was everywhere in Mingchuan Village.Ticada still keeps calling tirelessly in the forest and on the trees. village side.A small courtyard surrounded by half-buried and half-exposed tree branches, with the chai gate wide open.There are three low thatched huts in a row, one is bright and the other is dark, facing south. courtyard.Yan Ying was picking up the sweet potatoes and vegetables that had just been brought back from the field during the day.Qingqing and Miaomiao are playing happily.Cuiyu went in and out of the house, and was busy lighting a fire and cooking at a stove in front of the house. "Doctor Yan! Doctor Yan is back?" Someone shouted from outside the courtyard. "I'm back!" Hearing someone shouting from outside the courtyard, Yan Ying quickly agreed, put down the work in hand, stood up, and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.I saw two men coming in, one old and one young, both dressed as fishermen.The elder is of medium build, with gray hair on the sideburns, probably in his fifties, holding a string of fresh fish strung with thin willow branches in his hand.The young man was tall, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bundle of wet fishing nets on his back. "So it's old man Li and Brother Erniu! Come in, come in and sit down!" Yan Ying hastily greeted the two guests, and asked casually, "How's your harvest today?" "It's okay, it's okay! No, the family collected two baskets of fish, and Daniel and the others didn't even bother to eat. They rushed to the city overnight, so they can go to the morning market tomorrow morning and sell them for a good price." , Old Uncle Li brought the fish in his hand to Cuiyu, "Mrs. Yan, add another dish to your family's dinner!" Cuiyu took the fish and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, I will always let you take care of me! Today, you two will have dinner here!" "Oh! Another fish to eat! Thank you, Grandpa and Uncle!" Qingqing and Miaomiao pulled the fish from Cuiyu's hands, shouting and jumping happily. "Hurry up and cook, we have something to do when we get home!" Old Uncle Li said and walked out the door. Er Niu didn't say a word, just smiled and followed behind his father. "Wait!" Seeing that Uncle Li and his son were about to leave, Yan Ying hurriedly picked up the bundle of vegetables that had been bundled up from the ground just now, "Old Man Li, why don't you bring these vegetables with you, I thought I'd give them to your family Sent." Old Uncle Li stopped, turned around and took the green vegetables: "Hahaha! Doctor Yan is afraid that I will be too free with empty hands! Well, respect is worse than obedience, the old man will just take it!" "Doctor Yan, please stay!" Er Niu turned around outside the courtyard gate, dissuading Yan Ying. Yan Ying bowed his hands and saluted: "Okay, I'm sorry to see you off soon! It's getting dark, please go!" The night was deep. heaven.There is a bright moon in the sky, and the stars are twinkling all around. the village.Everything was silent, only the window of Yan Ying's house was still lit. Inside the East House.A big kang took up most of the room.On the inner half of the kang, the two children were already sound asleep; on the outer half of the kang, there was a small wooden table with a tall lampstand, and a wick lit on the edge of the oil bowl gave off a faint light. under the lights.On one side of the small table, Yan Ying was concentrating on reading a scroll of bamboo slips spread out on the table.On the other side of the small table, Cuiyu is mending the child's clothes with her head down.She stopped her needlework from time to time to see if the children had pushed the quilt away or tucked it in, or picked the wick with the tip of the needle to make the light brighter. "Alas—" Yan Ying sighed, raised his head, and stared straight ahead. Hearing Yan Ying's sigh, Cuiyu stopped her needlework, raised her head, and asked with concern: "What's the matter with you? Are you still thinking about what Big Brother Zhang said today?" "That's right," Yan Ying turned his gaze to his wife, "The current lord wants to imitate the former Duke Huan to dominate the princes, disregarding the changes in the world, the national strength and the people's hearts, the distant sages refused to advise, and insisted on going his own way, fighting south and north, and using troops endlessly. If this continues, Not only is the country exhausted and the people suffer, even the lord himself is in danger!" Cuiyu took her husband's words and persuaded: "What you said is not bad at all. It can be said to be penetrating. However, isn't it because of your direct remonstrance and repeated offenses that you were forced to resign? As the saying goes, 'You are not in your position. , do not seek his own government'. Now that you have resigned from office, you should stop worrying about state affairs!" "You don't know! From the time I was just sensible, my father always taught me to be loyal to the emperor and the people. My father named me 'Ying' and the word 'Ping Zhong', hoping that I would be loyal to the country and the people forever With the love of a child, I can follow the example of the virtuous prime minister Guan Zhong, to help the emperor to govern the country, strengthen the country and enrich the people. When my father passed away, apart from the hereditary "doctor" official position, these few volumes recorded the strategy of governing the country. It's written." Yan Ying explained to his wife solemnly, while gently stroking the bamboo slips on the table with his hand, "Just now, I just saw that Guan Xiang's actions in politics are in line with the hearts of the people; Against the will of the people' this passage, and thinking about what the lord has done today, I can't help feeling a lot of emotion!" "Nevertheless, you lament that you have nowhere to serve your country. Don't worry about your health! It's late at night. You've worked hard all day, you'd better go to bed early!" Cuiyu comforted her husband while putting down her needlework. into the small basket next to you. "Okay, okay, I'll go to bed after finishing this volume. You've worked harder than me, so you should rest first!" Yan Ying looked at his wife gratefully, and buried her head in the book again. A day in winter.The north wind roared, and the snow fell heavily.In the village and outside the village, they are wrapped in silver makeup. In the west room of Yan Ying's house.Next to the window on the south wall, there is a brazier with a charcoal fire in it.Against the north wall is a large kang.Yan Ying sat at a small table in the middle of the Kang.A dozen children sat around Yan Ying.The children are male and female, big and young, the older one is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one is only three or four years old.Qingqing and Miaomiao are also among them.They are listening to "Mr. Yan" lecture. "Children! For more than half a month, I have taught you forty or fifty characters, but they are all characters with fewer strokes. Starting today, I will teach you some characters with more strokes." , Mr. took a long piece of charcoal and started writing on a flat stone on the small table.He picked this stone specially from the seaside. It looks round and square, with a diameter of more than a foot. The upward facing side is light and smooth, just for writing. "What does this word read?" Mr. asked the children after writing a small "mouth". "Mouth!" Several children sitting near the small table replied in unison. The children who were sitting far away from the small table didn't see clearly what the teacher wrote, and stood up one by one, looking at the stones on the small table. "What does this word read?" Mr. wrote a short horizontal line under the small "mouth", but the left side is lower and the right side is higher, just like a mention under the "mound" in the radical. "One!" Several children who were far away from the table answered loudly in unison. "I don't know." One of the children who were closer to the table replied, while the others were silent. The teacher was not in a hurry to explain to the children, and then wrote a character "Ge" on the right side of the small "mouth", but the upper horizontal line was longer, pressing the two characters just written below: "This character What are you reading?" "Ge!" All the children answered in unison. When the teacher added a "big mouth frame" around the three words just written, the children rushed to read before the last line was finished. "mouth!" "mouth!" "Speak this word!" "Sit down, children, and listen to me!" After the teacher greeted the children to sit down, he began to teach everyone to recognize the word, "The little 'kou' inside, you really pronounce 'kou', that's what I said a few days ago." The "mouth" of "population" here represents the population of our country, from the king to the common people, all are represented by this "mouth". This small "mouth" can also be understood as the small home of each of us. This small' The word "口" below is not the word "一", but a "mention", which is the word "mention" next to the "mound" of "Earth and Land" that I talked about a few days ago, which represents the land. Land also includes mountains, rivers, sea, and sky. The character '戈' on the right, as I said a few days ago, is a kind of weapon. Put it here, it represents all kinds of weapons, which can also be called weapons, that is The meaning of using weapons to defend our population and land. Since we are defending our population and land, you can see that the horizontal line above the word "Ge" is elongated, just pressing on the top of the small "kou" and a "ti". right?" "Yes!" The children were all attentively and excitedly listening to the teacher's lecture just now, and no one said a word. Now when the teacher asked a question, they answered loudly in unison. "Okay, very good!" Seeing that the children understood what he just said, Mr. smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "What does the 'big mouth frame' outside this mean? This 'big mouth frame' 'Nian'wei' here represents our national border. Our national border is sacred and inviolable. If outsiders dare to invade our national border, break into our home, and plunder our population and land, we will Take up arms, rise up to resist, defend our borders, our homeland, our population and land. Therefore, the combination of these parts just now is the word 'country'. Children, read with me: country !" "country!" "Read it again!" "country!" "Okay!" The gentleman nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "The word 'country', just now I wrote the inner part first, and then the outer 'big mouth frame' for the sake of clarifying the meaning. You will write it later. When writing, you should first write the "big mouth frame" on the outside, but don't seal the bottom part temporarily, and then seal the bottom part after you finish writing the inside part. Do you understand?" "Understood!" The children replied in unison. "Father, drink some water!" Qingqing, who was still listening to the class with everyone just now, brought a bowl of hot water from the outside room and gently put it on the small table. Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, the father smiled and nodded towards her.Maybe it was because I had been teaching for a long time, and I was really thirsty, so I picked up the bowl and took a big gulp. "Children!" The gentleman put down the water bowl and continued, "The word 'country' is the 'country' of the country and the 'country' of the motherland. We must love our motherland since we were young, and we must devote ourselves to it when we grow up. Do our best to serve our motherland. Once outsiders invade our motherland, we will take up arms to defend our motherland. However, children, just like the word "戈" cannot be written outside the "big mouth frame", our weapons are used Those who come to defend their own motherland cannot take it beyond the borders to invade other people's motherlands." Speaking of this, for some reason, Mr. suddenly stopped: "Children, I will tell you about the meaning of the word '国' in the future, so let's stop here today. Next, let's learn another one with many strokes." Character." Mr. first wiped the handwriting on the stone with a cloth towel, and then wrote an ancient "Qi" character composed of three upper "◇" and lower "〡" written side by side.However, this time he did not ask the students every time he finished writing a part like when he wrote the word "国".Therefore, in the process of his writing, the students discussed in low voices. "Hey, why do they look like bow and arrow arrows?" Some children said. "You're not right, it's wheat ears!" The child next to him immediately retorted. After writing the entire character "Qi", the teacher told the students directly: "Children! This character is 'Qi', which is the 'Qi' of our country of Qi. I will explain to you every detail of this character later. Part of the meaning, please read it with me first: Qi, the 'Qi' of Qi!" "Qi, Qi's 'Qi'!" "Read it again!" "Qi, Qi's 'Qi'!" The fifth month of the lunar calendar in 548 BC. A thunderstorm evening. In the west room of Yan Ying's house.There is a small table on the big kang.A family of four is sitting around a small table, eating dinner under the dim light. "Doctor Yan! Doctor Yan!" An urgent shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard. "I'll go out and see who came to my house in such a heavy rain!" Yan Ying heard the shout, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, moved them from the kang to the ground, and picked up a piece from the door. Putting the coir raincoat on her body, she promised loudly, "Come on! Come on!" Thunder rumbled in the distance.A bolt of lightning nearby. Under the light of lightning, Yan Ying led several people from the courtyard into the outer room. "Quick, come in!" Cuiyu was waiting in the outer room holding an oil lamp.The wind follows people.Although Cuiyu blocked the lamp with one hand, the lamp still flickered a few times and was almost blown out by the wind. "Crackling!" A thunderclap shook the hut as if it was about to collapse. "Mom! I'm afraid!" "Mom! I'm afraid!" Qingqing and Miaomiao screamed and ran out from the west room, clinging tightly to Cuiyu's side. "Qingqing is not afraid! Miao Miao is not afraid!" Cuiyu held an oil lamp to illuminate the few people who were taking off their coir raincoats, while comforting her frightened children. "Please go to the back room to talk!" Yan Ying led the visitor into the west room. Cuiyu followed Westinghouse and put the oil lamp on the small table. Under the light, I could see clearly that there were three people coming: Uncle Li, Er Niu and Brother Zhang. "Uncle Li, Brother Zhang, Brother Er Niu, please sit on the kang and talk!" Cuiyu greeted the visitor with a smile, squatted down, and embraced Qingqing and Miaomiao who followed. "Mrs. Yan, there's no need, let's just stand up and talk!" Old Uncle Li looked at the muddy bare feet of several people, and politely declined the hostess' kindness. Brother Zhang couldn't wait to say to Yan Ying: "Mr. Yan, it's like this: Yesterday, I finished paying the salt in the capital and was about to go back when I saw a few people running from the other side of the street, looking panicked, and shouting as they ran:" It’s not good! The monarch was killed in the Cui Mansion!’ When I heard this, I hurried forward to inquire about the details, but they just ran away and ignored me. I had to go to the Cui Mansion to inquire. But who knows , more than ten feet away from the Cui Mansion, there were many servants with weapons guarding them, and they were not allowed to approach at all. Later, I found out from a nearby family that the monarch had indeed been killed in the Cui Mansion, and the mastermind of the murder It is Master Cui Zhu! When I get accurate information, I will rush back day and night..." "Kaleng!" There was another thunderclap, which cut off Big Brother Zhang's words, and also stunned Yan Ying. "My lord! You shouldn't have listened to my minister's remonstrance! I didn't expect it to end like this!" Yan Ying, who came back to his senses, faced the roof and shouted sadly. Seeing Yan Ying so sad, Cuiyu and old man Li were frightened.They hurried forward to persuade. "Father Qingqing, the matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, you must not be too sad!" Cuiyu held her husband's right hand tightly with both hands, persuading her worriedly. "Dr. Yan, when the monarch was alive, you used your blunt words to remonstrate, and the way of being a loyal minister was exhausted. Now that the monarch has passed away, what's the use of being sad? It's important that you take care of yourself!" Uncle Li took Yan Ying's left arm while Shaking, while persuading. "Dr. Yan! Such a foolish ruler. He has been in power for six years and has never done a good thing for the people. He committed adultery with Cui Zhu's wife, and Cui Zhu caught him and planned to kill him. He deserved it! You are sad for him, he is not worth it at all. !” Brother Zhang said angrily. "No! No!" Yan Ying shook off Cuiyu and Old Uncle Li's pull with all his strength, and shouted hoarsely, "I'm going to see the Lord for the last time! I must go!" Not to mention old man Li and others, even Cuiyu had never seen Yan Ying lose his composure and go crazy like this.Everyone was stunned. When everyone came back to their senses, Yan Ying had already rushed out of the house and ran into the thunderstorm. "Doctor Yan! Wait a minute!" Uncle Li was the one who saw many things and reacted quickly. While calling Yan Ying, he told Er Niu, "Hurry up! Take the coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and go with Doctor Yan!" "Yes!" Er Niu turned around and rushed out quickly. "Doctor Yan! Wait for me! Doctor Yan—" Er Niu's voice came from afar. Cuiyu was at a loss for what to do, so anxious that she burst into tears. Seeing their mother crying, Qingqing and Miao Miao also hugged their mother's legs and cried loudly: "Mother! I want a father! Mother!..." Uncle Li and Brother Zhang didn't know how to persuade each other, so they could only shake their heads and sigh aside. "Crack!" Another thunderclap exploded in the courtyard.The thunder overwhelmed the cries of Cuiyu's mother and child, overshadowed the sound of rain, overshadowed all other sounds. The capital is Linzi. The sky was overcast.The atmosphere in the city was tense. Outside Cui's residence.It is heavily guarded. Accompanied by Erniu, Yan Ying came to the gate of Cui's mansion.He handed the coir raincoat and bamboo hat to Er Niu: "You wait for me outside the door, and I will go in alone." "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? You are not allowed to enter!" Yan Ying was about to enter the door, but was blocked by the gatekeeper with a weapon. "Aha! Isn't this Dr. Yan Ying?" Yan Ying was about to negotiate with the doorkeeper when the housekeeper of Cui's house came out from the door.When he saw Yan Ying, he greeted Yan Ying strangely. "That's right, it's Yan Ying." Yan Ying stood upright with a calm tone. "The monarch is dead. All the ministers stayed at home to listen to the letter, and no one dared to come here. But you don't farm by the sea, but you come here instead." The housekeeper of Cui's house pretended to be arrogant, pointing at Yan Ying's nose and sternly Ask, "Are you here to die?" "Hmph!" Seeing that the housekeeper of Cui's mansion spoke rudely, Yan Ying suppressed his anger, and retorted logically, "Is the monarch only my monarch, Yan Ying? He wants me to die for him!" "Then why don't you run away?" "Fleeing? As a subject serving the monarch, the main responsibility is to contribute to the country. Therefore, if the monarch dies for the benefit of the country, the subjects will die for him; if the monarch flees for the benefit of the country, the subjects will flee with him. However, if the monarch If he just died for his own self-interest, or fled for his own self-interest, who would die for him or flee with him except his own cronies?" Having said this, Yan Ying's eyes widened with anger. Staring straight into the eyes of the housekeeper of Cui's house, "Some people killed the king, but asked me to die for the king, or flee because of it, what's the reason?!" Under Yan Ying's stare and angry reprimand, the housekeeper of the Cui Mansion lowered his head, was speechless, and had to raise his hand to signal for the gatekeeper to let him go. Er Niu has been standing by the side watching, really sweating for Yan Ying.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Ying strode into the gate of Cui's mansion with his chest up and his head raised. In the main hall of the Cui Mansion. Zhuang Gong's body was lying on the ground, without cover or cover. Cui Zhu stood beside him with a gloomy face, and behind him stood four servants holding weapons. Seeing Yan Ying walk into the hall, Cui Zhu stood motionless on the spot, and asked sharply, "Mr. Yan is here? Why aren't you dead yet? Why aren't you dead yet?" Seeing Cui Zhu's question, Yan Ying stopped, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Master Cui, you know that it has been two years since Yan Ying resigned from office. This time, when the disaster started, I was not present; when the disaster ended , I don’t know either. Why should I die? Besides, I’ve heard that a person who regards fleeing as an act of loyalty to the emperor is not enough to protect the emperor of the country; .Could it be that I, Yan Ying, is the concubine, maid, or confidant of the monarch, and if he dies, I have to die with him?!" Seeing that Cui Zhu didn't ask any more questions, Yan Ying went straight to the corpse of Duke Zhuang, sat down on the spot, put the head of Duke Zhuang on his lap, looked at Duke Zhuang's face, and burst into tears: "My lord! My lord! You died so badly! I just left for two years, why were you killed..." Cui Zhuli felt guilty, and he didn't want to listen to Yan Ying's accusations, so he frowned, and walked to the courtyard outside the hall with his two servants. Yan Ying cried for a long time before she stopped crying.He put Duke Zhuang's head back on the ground, stood up, jumped up three more times, and walked out of the hall. yard.The housekeeper of Cui's residence was whispering something to Cui Zhu.Yan Ying pretended not to see them, and walked towards the gate with his head held high. "My lord, why did you let him go? You didn't kill him!" Cui's housekeeper offered advice for the master. "Ah!" Cui Zhu looked at Yan Ying's back and sighed, "Why don't I want to kill him? But he is a famous sage in Qi State and has a high prestige among the people. If you kill him, you will lose the popular support; If you don't kill him, you can win the hearts of the people!" the next day.The sky has cleared. Near noon. Sui Xiuxiang's living room.Yan Ying and Er Niu were sitting at a wooden table talking. "Lord Sui has been out for almost half a day, why haven't you come back yet?" Er Niu waited anxiously. "Lord Sui didn't come home until noon, there must be a major event at court. You and I just have to wait patiently." Yan Ying seemed to be persuading Er Niu, more like persuading himself. "Ping Zhong! Ping Zhong!" Sui Xiu had not yet entered the house, but the call came in. As soon as he stepped through the threshold, he couldn't wait to apologize to Yan Ying, "Ping Zhong, I went out early in the morning. I have only come back now, and I cannot accompany you two, please forgive me a lot!" Seeing that Prime Minister Sui Xiu had returned, Yan Ying quickly stood up and greeted him with cupped hands: "Where, where! Yesterday, thanks to your lord's kindness, I stayed at the mansion for a night. I wanted to say goodbye early this morning, but I didn't want to fail in half a day." I saw my lord. My lord hasn't returned for half a day, so there must be something big going on?" "If you want to talk about big things, they are really big things." After Xiang Xiang motioned Yan Ying to sit down, he also sat down at the table. "What's the big deal? Please talk about it, my lord!" Yan Ying couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and urged him eagerly. "Two major events happened this morning." Sui Xiuxiang took a bowl of tea that Er Niu had poured for him, took a sip, and then told each of them in a leisurely manner, "The first major event is to establish a new monarch. It was a discussion, but in fact it was Cui Zhu who had the final say and decided to make the eighteen-year-old Chujiu, the half-brother of the first monarch, as the new monarch. It is said that the mother of Chujiu, Meng Ji, was the grandson of the Lu State official Qiaoruzhi. Daughter, if you stand up, you can marry Lu Hao. Cui Zhu proclaimed himself the right minister, and Feng Qingfeng was the left minister. The second major event was that three Taishi were killed because they wrote the history straight. The minister killed the king as murder. The murder of Cui Zhu Regarding the matter of the king, Tai Shibo wrote directly: "Xia Wuyue Yihai, Cui Zhu killed his king." Cui Zhu was furious when he saw it, and killed Tai Shibo. Tai Shibo's second brother Zhong and third brother Shu also followed suit. He was killed. Ji, the fourth younger brother of Tai Shibo, fought hard on the grounds, preferring to die rather than surrender, and insisted on writing the history straight. Cui Zhu had no choice but to give up, and did not kill Ji." After hearing this, Yan Ying was overwhelmed with emotion, and sighed again and again: "Oh! In order to truly record this period of history, the price paid by Tai Shibo's family is really too great!" Sui and Yan were talking when the housekeeper of the Sui family hurried in. "My lord, the servants in the palace and the housekeeper of Cui's residence are here!" The housekeeper of the Sui family came in, and while saluting to Prime Minister Sui Xiu, he reported eagerly. "Please! Invite them to come in!" Sui Xiuxiang heard the words, did not dare to neglect, and stood up quickly. "Yes!" The housekeeper of the Sui family agreed, turned around and walked out quickly. "My lord, Er Niu and I avoid it for a while?" Yan Ying asked as he stood up. Er Niu also stood up and looked at Sui Xiuxiang. "No, no!" Sui Xiuxiang replied. While talking, the housekeeper of the Sui family brought someone in. "Aha! So Doctor Yan is here! I said I went to your old house, but why didn't I find you! Since you are still in Linzi City, go with Master Sui!" Cui's housekeeper When he entered the door, he immediately saw Yan Ying present, so he gave orders in a strange manner without waiting for the servants in the palace to speak. "Where are you going?" Yan Ying asked in a calm tone, suppressing the anger in his chest. "The two Prime Ministers Cui and Qing held an oath alliance meeting at the altar of the Taimiao, and ordered all generals, doctors, celebrities, and representatives of the people in the capital to participate, and must be present before 3:00 noon. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy! "The servant in the palace announced sharply. "Yan Ying is a villager, do I have to participate?" Yan Ying asked. "Hi, hi!" Cui's housekeeper laughed dryly, and took the words, "Your doctor Yan Yingyan is a famous person in our Qi country! The two prime ministers take special care of you. As long as you are still in Linzi city, you will definitely If I want you to participate, I will pull, frame, and carry you, and I will take you to the Taimiao!" "Ping Zhong," Sui Xiu saw this scene, and quickly tugged at Yan Ying's sleeve, "If that's the case, then let's go!" "Huh!" Yan Ying gave a contemptuous "hum" to the housekeeper of Cui's residence, and then walked out of the house with Prime Minister Sui Xiu. "Doctor Yan!" Er Niu hurriedly called out when he saw that Yan Ying was about to leave. Hearing Er Niu's call, Yan Ying stood still, turned around, smiled slightly, and comforted him in a calm tone: "Er Niu, just wait here for me, I'll be fine!" In Sui Xiu's courtyard. With the support of the coachman, Sui Xiuxiang and Yan Ying boarded Sui Xiuxiang's carriage one after another. "Drive!" With the coachman yelling, the carriage drove towards the gate. When the carriage drove out of the gate, Yan Ying and Sui Xiuxiang in the carriage realized that dozens of soldiers with weapons were already standing outside the gate. Immediately after the carriage drove out of the gate, two soldiers followed up, and followed closely, like guards and escorts. After the rain, the sun shines.sunny. in the sun.The Taimiao, the majestic building where the monarchs of the Qi State worshiped their ancestors in the past, is surrounded by more than 20,000 heavily armed soldiers on the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and it looks particularly majestic and terrifying. Sui Xiuxiang's carriage stopped outside the "encirclement".With the support of the coachman, Sui Xiuxiang and Yan Ying got off the carriage.The two passed through a checkpoint, walked into the "encirclement", and walked for a long time before entering the meeting place of the pledge.I saw: In the small square in front of the Taimiao, I don't know when a new oath altar about three feet high was built.In front of the altar is a deep pit. Cui, Qing and more than a dozen warriors holding halberds and sharp knives are standing on the oath altar. 在誓坛的四周，围着数百名被劫持前来参加誓盟的将军、大夫和知名人士、百姓代表。有的正在交头接耳地议论着什么。有的低着头一声不吭，似乎正在思索着什么。 “各位！请安静！”誓坛上，一名武士大声地喊道。 随着这名武士的喊声，会场内一下子变得鸦雀无声。 誓坛上。 崔杼向前走了两步，站在誓坛的边沿上，高傲地往誓坛四周看了看，然后向坛下众人高声宣布道：“各位！昏君已死，新君已立。今后，就由庆封庆大人和我，分别担任左、右二相，辅佐新君治国。今天，我们把大家请到这里来，就是要举行一个誓盟仪式。现在，我首先宣布三条规定：第一条，今天的誓辞是，'不跟随崔杼、庆封，而跟随齐君宗室者，必受恶报'；第二条，有不发誓或不按上述誓辞发誓者，用戟勾断他的脖子，用剑刺透他的心窝；第三条，有发誓不坚定，歃血而手不沾血者，一律处死。下面，誓盟开始！” 崔杼从身边一名武士手中接过盛着牲畜鲜血的歃血大杯，用手在血里沾了一下，涂在自己的嘴唇上，然后高声发誓：“不跟随崔杼、庆封，而跟随齐君宗室者，必受恶报！” 庆封紧随崔杼之后，以同样的方式发了誓。 崔、庆二人誓盟完毕后，全副武装的士兵从坛下押着十个将军、大夫模样的人走上坛来。高止、国夏两位老大夫也在其中。 “高大夫，你是齐国老臣了，就带个头吧！”崔杼不软不硬地命令道。 高止刚从身边武士手中接过歃血大杯，一支大戟就从他身后伸了过来，绕过他的头部，勾住了他的脖子，同时一把利剑顶在了他的左后背上。 高止用颤抖的手从杯中沾了一下，把血涂在自己的嘴唇上，然后用颤抖的声音发誓：“不跟随崔杼、庆封，而跟随齐君宗室者，必受恶报！” 直到高止发完誓，大戟、利剑才离开了他的身体。 “好，高大夫，你可以回家了！下面该是国大夫了！”崔杼又对国夏下达了命令。 国夏像高止一样，顺从地发了誓，然后走下坛去。 第三个像是一位老将军。他对身边武士递上来的歃血大杯视若未见，任凭大戟勾着自己的脖子，利剑顶着自己的左后背，昂首挺胸，一声不吭。 崔杼见状，皱了一下眉头，然后举起右手，向下一挥。 见到崔杼下达的命令，在那位老将军身后手持大戟、利剑的武士猛地发力。登时，从老将军的脖子和左前胸喷出了鲜血。趁着老将军尚未倒下，身后那个手持大戟的武士迅速将戟撤离老将军的脖子，而那个手持利剑的武士则一脚把老将军踹下坛去，就势拔出了利剑。 “扑通”一声，老将军的尸体落到了坛下的深坑里。 过了不大一会儿，又是“扑通”一声，一具尸体从坛上落到了坛下的深坑里。 "thump!" "thump!" "thump!" "thump!" 坛下的深坑里，已横陈着六具尸体。 “怎么样？你们二位也想学他们的样子吗？”崔杼向坛上尚未发誓的两个士大夫模样的中年男子厉声问道。 “我发誓，我发誓！”两个中年男子中的一个，一边用颤抖的声音回答着崔杼的问话，一边走上前去，接过身边武士递上来的歃血大杯，用手指往杯里探了一下，就往自己的嘴唇上涂抹。但是，他太紧张了，手指上竟然没有沾到血！ “不跟随崔杼、庆封，而跟随齐君宗室者，必受恶报！”这个中年男子用颤抖的声音发着誓。 “崔相爷！这个人的手上、嘴上没有沾血！”那个手捧歃血大杯的武士向崔杼大声禀报。 “什么？没有沾血？”崔杼闻言，毫不犹豫地举起右手，向下一挥。 “扑通”一声，这个中年男子像此前的六个人一样，当场被杀死，并被踹到坛下的深坑中。 见到从坛上一连抛下七具尸体，誓坛周围的许多人都被吓得脸色发白、浑身发抖。睢休相低着头，连声叹气。只有晏婴怒目圆睁，正注视着坛上发生的一切。 “我发誓，我发誓！”不等崔杼再次点名，坛上最后一个尚未发誓的中年男子，一边大声喊着，一边走上前去，接过歃血大杯，沾血、抹嘴、发誓。 “他手上、嘴上沾血没有？”崔杼问道。 “都沾了！”那个手捧歃血大杯的武士大声回答。 “好，你也可以回家了！”崔杼对刚刚发过誓的中年男子说道。 那人闻听此言，连忙向崔杼、庆封二人拱手施礼，然后转身走下坛去。 紧接着，又是十个人被押上坛来。晏婴、睢休相二人也在其中。 一见晏婴走上坛来，崔杼连忙迎上前去，皮笑肉不笑地问道：“晏大夫也来了？你是想学高、国二位老先生的榜样，还是想跟着前面那七个人往坛下跳啊？” 晏婴看了崔杼一眼，没有答话，径直走到手捧歃血大杯的武士面前，双手接过歃血大杯。 看到晏婴的举动，站在一旁的崔杼、庆封二人暗自高兴。 晏婴捧着歃血大杯，仰天长叹道：“呜呼！崔杼无道，杀死了自己的国君。凡是不跟随齐君宗室，而跟随崔杼、庆封者，必受恶报！” 发完誓，晏婴端起歃血大杯，一饮而尽。 崔杼、庆封二人见此情景，脸都气白了。 崔杼强压着心头的怒火，快步走到晏婴面前，以相当克制的语气说道：“晏大夫，我希望你能改变自己的话！如果你改变的话，那么我愿与你共同享有齐国；如果你不改变的话，那么大戟已经架在你的脖子上，利剑已经指向你的心窝。何去何从，由你自己选择吧！” 虽然大戟勾在脖子上，利剑顶在后背上，但是晏婴面不改色，轻蔑地微微一笑，高声说道：“崔杼！你用大戟、利剑劫持我，强迫我改变志节，不算你有勇气！你用厚利诱惑我改变主张，而让我背叛我的国君，不算你有德义！你还记得上是怎么说的吗？上说：'茂盛的葛藤，蔓延在树干上；高尚的君子，不以邪径求福。'现在，我可以用邪僻的行径来求福吗？纵然你大戟架在我的脖子上，利剑对准我的心窝，我也决不改变自己刚才所说的话！” 听了晏婴的这些话，崔杼气得浑身发抖，真比利剑穿心还要难受。他咬了咬牙，举起了右手。 “且慢！”睢休相见状，大喊一声，快步走到崔杼面前，用双手托住了崔杼正要挥下的右手，大声说道，“崔相！您不能杀晏婴啊！您因您的国君无道而杀了他，但他的臣子晏婴是有道义的人啊！如果您把晏婴也杀了，就会失去民心。那您今后还怎么教诲百姓，怎么治理国家呢？” “唉！”听了睢休相的话，崔杼感到很无奈，沉思片刻，终于叹了口气，摆了摆手，示意睢休相带晏婴赶快离开。 一见晏婴解除了大戟和利剑的威胁，睢休相连忙上前拉着晏婴朝坛下走去。 到了坛下，晏婴仍怒气未消，一边走，一边嘟囔着：“像崔大夫这样的人，干了大不仁的事，而做这种小有仁义的事，哪里称得上正直呢？” 睢休相听到晏婴的话，连忙加以制止：“平仲！你就不要再说什么了！咱们赶快离开这里吧！” 睢休相、晏婴二人快步走出了“包围圈”，并在车夫的搀扶下，登上了睢休相的马车。 “快！把车赶快点！”刚一上车，睢休相就向车夫下达了“快速前进”的命令。 “小兄弟，千万不要快啊！”晏婴闻言，连忙伸出手去，轻轻地拍了拍车夫的肩膀，微笑着劝阻道。 “是，晏大夫！”车夫答应了一声，立即勒了勒缰绳，使马车放慢了速度，缓缓地、有节奏地离开了太庙，朝着睢休相家的方向驶去。 对晏婴的做法，睢休相感到很不理解：“平仲，你为何不让车快点跑啊？难道你不想尽快离开那个'鬼门关'吗？” 晏婴见问，微笑着答道：“睢大人，我跑快了不一定能活，慢慢走也不一定会死啊！小鹿生长在野外，可它的生命却掌握在厨师手中。我的生命掌握在崔杼手中。您想想看，如果他要杀我的话，那么我跑得再快也难免一死啊！” 公元前五四八年秋。 一日午后。 在晏婴家菜地里，只有晏婴一个人，正蹲在地上专心地拔着杂草。汗水已经湿透了他的上衣。 “青青她爹！青青她爹！”翠玉从村子方向跑来，还没到地头，就开始呼唤。 “翠玉，出什么事了？”见妻子一人慌慌张张地跑来，晏婴连忙扔下手中的杂草，站起身来，迎上前去。 “朝……朝里来人啦！”翠玉跑到丈夫面前，上气不接下气地说。 “什么？”晏婴听了一愣，“别急别急，你慢慢说！” “朝里来了一个骑马的差官，说是让你明日赶往临淄，当今主公要召见你！” “那个差官人在哪儿？” “正在家里等你。” “走，我去见见他！”晏婴一边说着，一边随着妻子朝村子方向走去。 齐宫大殿里。 景公端坐君位。身后立着两名宫女。右側依次立着崔杼、高止、梁丘据、裔款和两名武将，左側依次立着庆封、国夏、睢休相、弦高和两名武将。 “小民晏婴叩见国君！”晏婴走到殿中，面向景公跪地叩头。 “起来吧！”一见晏婴到来，景公面有喜色。 “多谢国君！”晏婴再叩一头，站起身来。 “晏婴，寡人即位不久，正是用人之际。有人向寡人举荐，说你曾先后侍奉过灵、庄二君，忠君爱民，德才兼备，堪当大任。”说到这里，景公下意识地看了一眼立在左側的睢休相。 睢休相见景公看他，连忙把头低下。 “不过，”景公看了看立在两側的崔杼、庆封和梁丘据，“也有人提醒寡人，说你恃才傲物，曾屡犯君颜，不宜留在朝中。” 崔杼、庆封见景公看他们，无动于衷。 梁丘据见景公看他，面有得色。 “寡人思之再三，决定先派你赴东阿为宰，三年一任，看你治事才能如何。待你任满之后，寡人再行定夺。”略微停顿了一下，景公又补充道，“东阿远离都城，乃我齐国难治之邑。此番派你前去，相信你定能使东阿大治，载誉而归！” “臣多谢主公勉励！”晏婴听罢，连忙跪伏于地，叩首谢恩。 一天上午。 东阿城郊。小山脚下。一片池塘。 一个衣着华丽的中年男子带领晏婴和数名差役来到池塘边，用手指点着正在那里站着的一群衣衫褴褛的穷人，向晏婴诉说着：“晏大人！就是这群刁民！他们从我家池塘中抢鱼，我不让他们抢，他们还要对我动手。大人，你可要为民作主啊！” 晏婴刚要开口询问，只见从这群穷人中走出一个身材高大的汉子，扔下手中的捕鱼工具，走到晏婴面前，“扑通”一声跪在地上：“晏大人！丁贵说的都是谎言！这片池塘自古无主。我郑大虎从小就和一帮穷哥们儿来这儿玩水，后来发现塘中有鱼，就捕些回家充饥。这么多年来，从未有人说过这池塘是他自家的。前几天丁贵偶然路过这里，看见塘中有鱼，便硬说这池塘是他家的，不让我们捕鱼。小人说的句句是实，还望大人明鉴！” “大虎说的句句是实啊，大人！”在场的穷人都纷纷跪在晏婴面前。 “李垚，”晏婴朝身后叫了一声，“把官册拿给我看！” “是！大人。”被称作“李垚”的人，把随身背来的一个包袱打开，从中取出一卷竹简，恭恭敬敬地递给晏婴。 “你们都起来，快起来吧！”晏婴一面让跪着的众穷人都站起来，一面接过官册翻看起来。 被称作“李垚”的人，站在晏婴身旁，两眼紧盯着脸色忽红忽白的丁贵。原来，这个“李垚”不是别人，正是明川村的二牛！在晏婴辞别明川村的父老乡亲，前来东阿上任之前，李老伯把二牛托付给晏婴，一来是让晏婴教导二牛，二来也是让二牛随身照顾晏婴。来东阿后，晏婴给二牛取了个“李垚”的大名，并让他做了随身的差役。身着差役制服的“李垚”，同过去的“二牛”相比，简直像是换了一个新人！ “丁贵！”晏婴指着竹简上一处文字，怒不可遏，“你丁家共有土地八百六十三亩半，虽有池塘七片，但均在别处。你怎说此处池塘是你家的？分明是欺骗本官！” “这……这……”丁贵见谎言败露，支支吾吾，低下头来。 “来人！把丁贵押回县衙，听候本官发落！”晏婴对随来的众差役下令。 “大人！大人！我不是欺骗官府！我不是……”丁贵挣扎着，叫喊着。但不由分说，还是被两名差役押走了。 “好！好哇！”见差役押走了丁贵，众穷人欢呼起来。 “乡亲们！乡亲们！”晏婴大声招呼着众穷人。 听见晏婴招呼，众穷人马上安静下来，但个个脸上仍挂着笑容。 “乡亲们，你们听我说：这片池塘虽然不是丁贵家的，但也不是无主的，而是国家的！”一听晏婴如此说法，众穷人脸上的笑容顿时消失了，变成了一片茫然。 “但是，鉴于我们东阿十年九灾，许多百姓长年吃不饱肚子，所以本官特许你们在此捕鱼！”听了晏婴这句话，众穷人脸上才重新露出了笑容。 “不过，”紧接着，晏婴又郑重地说道，“第一，你们要互谅互让，不能为捕鱼之事而发生口角和争斗；第二，你们谁也不许捕捞未满三寸的小鱼，即使捕捞上来，也要马上放回去，千万不能让池塘中的鱼绝了种！不知本官所说，你们能否做到？” “能！”众穷人异口同声地大声回答。 “好！”晏婴用手指着郑大虎，提高嗓音对众穷人说道，“今后，就由郑大虎负责组织此事，本官派人经常来此检查。你们看好不好？” “好！”众穷人又是异口同声地大声回答。 晏婴微笑着带领李垚等人转身离去。 望着晏婴渐渐远去的背影，郑大虎等人仍沉浸在喜悦之中。 “晏大人真是一位好官！” “这下咱们可就不怕丁贵啦！” “哈哈哈哈！哈哈哈哈！” That afternoon. 东阿县衙大堂。 大堂上首，在一张又长又大的木桌后面，端坐着邑宰晏婴。桌上摆着两捆竹简，其中一捆已打开一半。 李垚站在木桌的右侧。 大堂两旁分别站立着四名手持棍棒的差役。 大堂正中地上跪着一人。此人正是丁贵。 “丁贵！本官问你：你可知罪？” “小民知罪！小民知罪！”丁贵见晏婴问话，连连叩头。 “你可知罪从何来？” “小民不该欺骗大人，那片池塘确实不是我丁家的！” “这只是其一，还有其二！” “其二？什么其二？”丁贵抬起头，迷惑不解地望着晏婴。 “这其二就是：你家应纳赋税，已有两年未交！” “不！不！”闻听晏婴提及此事，丁贵神色慌张地急忙辩解，“每年都交了，全都如数交了！” “大胆丁贵，你还敢用谎言欺骗本官！”晏婴用手指着桌上的竹简，厉声喝道，“这是记有东阿每家每户交纳赋税的帐目。你家前年、去年应纳赋税至今尚未交来。你还想拖到何年何月？” “交了呀，我记得每年都交了呀！”丁贵还想抵赖。 “来人哪！官法伺候！” “别……别……别打！”一见晏婴要动刑，丁贵连忙改口，“也许小民记错了，请大人派人通知我家管家，让他仔细查查家里的帐目，如有拖欠，马上如数交来！” that night. 晏婴家中。 一盏油灯下，晏婴正坐在一张小桌旁，专心致志地阅读着一卷竹简。 “大人，丁贵家的管家求见。”李垚进来，轻声禀报。 "Let him in." “晏大人！晏大人！”丁家管家腋下夹着一捆东西，跟在李垚身后走进门来。一进门，就“大人”、“大人”地叫个不迭。 “小人是丁贵家的管家，有要事要向大人禀报！”说着，他朝李垚瞥了一眼。 “好吧！”晏婴示意李垚暂时回避一下。 丁家管家见李垚退出门外，屋内只剩下他和晏婴二人，便紧走几步，凑到晏婴面前，压低嗓音说道：“晏大人，是这样：大人来东阿上任已经数月，小人的主人一直未来孝敬大人。这不，小人的主母特意打发小人，给大人送来上好的精纺细帛一疋，说是给夫人做件衣服用。还请大人笑纳！” 丁家管家一边说着，一边将腋下夹着的那捆东西放在了晏婴面前的小桌上。 “你家主母还有何话？”晏婴故意问道。 “我家主母还说：请大人开恩，尽早放我家主人回家。” “放你家主人回家不难，但所欠两年赋税呢？” “赋税嘛，”丁家管家朝
