After a while, I saw that the streets and alleys were lined with houses and shops and densely populated. Even though it was early autumn, there were still boatloads of fruits, bamboo fans, mats, pillows, etc. for sale. They were shouting. Yu Yunjun was silent for a long time and asked: "Wei Ang, what are you going to do?"
"That day when the master summoned his disciples, he didn't respond."
Pei Ziyun looked out the window with a calm expression, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes. He stared blankly at the crowds far and near, and said after a long time: "Actually, Senior Brother Wei and I hit it off at first sight."
"Senior Brother Wei is a charming person, he is very good to his friends and appreciates talents. I wrote a chapter and he read it immediately. I thought we could continue our relationship."
"I don't want the Marquis of Jibei to have different ambitions and collude with the Japanese pirates. It is impossible to succeed, but I really can't let him corrupt the coast, so there is a contradiction."
"After arriving, Senior Brother Wei even colluded with the deputy eunuchs of Prince Lu's Mansion to surround and kill me." At this point, Pei Ziyun showed a look of sadness.
"That day when I was in front of the Tang Gong Temple, Wei Ang put poison in my tea. I was already alert, so I took a big sip of the wine. I am a drinker, but at that time I felt the spicy taste going straight into my throat and into my heart. I almost burst into tears, but in an instant I got a poem."
"If life is just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind draw a fan with sadness? It's easy to change the heart of an old friend, but it is easy to change the heart of an old friend." Pei Ziyun finished reciting the poem, and his voice echoed in the car with a trace of metallic vibrato, reflecting the outside of the car. Noisy, but extremely quiet.
After hearing this, Yu Yunjun's face became sad. He was stunned for a moment and then sighed: "Actually, he was also good back then..."
Having said that, hold your tongue.
"But everyone has their own ambitions, so it's okay if they fail me. But if our sect is in trouble and we don't respond, we will lose a big deal." At this point, he pondered for a while and then said: "Just give Wei Ang another chance, you Just find something and send him a letter asking him to do it. If he does it, it means he still wants to be in the door."
"If you don't even want to do this, what's the point of staying in the school?"
"Perhaps it will set a bad example - if Wei Ang rebels, there is no punishment from the sect, so doesn't it mean that everyone can flout the rules and become a rebel?"
At this point, Pei Ziyun sighed: "The matter is urgent. Once I get the Governor's matter done, the sect will no longer have worries. At that time, I will issue an order to remove all the disciples who are unwilling to come in times of crisis." .”
"Not only are they removed from the list, but those who have acquired martial arts and Taoism but don't want to repay it will have to be recovered one by one." When Pei Ziyun said this, he was worried and sighed: "Actually, only after you reach this position do you know many things. It’s out of necessity.”
"It's easy to give someone a favor, but if you give it a favor, what are the rules? What if it ruins the overall situation?"
Seeing Pei Ziyun's melancholy, Yu Yunjun couldn't help comforting him: "What you said is right. Ordinary Xianghuo disciples are just that. True disciples have to teach martial arts and Taoism. If you can leave casually, how can the sect still exist and be passed down?"
"There is no such truth in the world."
He said and smiled again: "Actually, you have only been the leader for more than ten days, but you are measured in everything you do, neither aggressive nor weak. We elders actually feel that you made the right choice to be the leader."
Pei Ziyun also smiled and said: "My talent is actually very ordinary, I just have some opportunities, and when I am in danger, I have to be careful and walk on thin ice!"
This opportunity is actually about being a person in two generations, and the experience of two worlds cannot be told secretly. However, Yu Yunjun did not think of this aspect, so he only smiled: "You are talented and intelligent, and you can draw inferences from one example. If your talent is ordinary, there will be no smart people in the world." People."
Pei Ziyun nodded and stopped talking.
The wind blew by, bringing some coolness, and the car curtains blew up. Yu Yunjun was silent for a moment, and then wanted to speak again, when he suddenly heard a slight snore.
Looking back, Pei Ziyun was already asleep.
Being able to fall asleep in such an awkward position in such a narrow car made Yu Yunjun feel funny and sad at the same time. He gently helped him adjust his posture, stared at it and sighed.
Since he accepted this disciple, he has fought many battles with the Holy Prison Sect, the Marquis of Jibei, the Qixuan Sect, and King Lu. Pei Ziyun has been tense all the time, especially the battle with the master sect. He rushed back thousands of miles and fought all the way. It's really hard work to defeat the enemy and take over a broken division. Let him sleep a little longer!
Fu Mansion
Pei Ziyun woke up suddenly and found that the car was parked in a ventilated area in the courtyard. He was still sleeping inside. He looked at the sky and saw that the sun was setting. He didn't want to take a nap for such a long time and his hair was a little messy. He got out of the car and arranged his clothes. , and then went to the inner courtyard.
Entering the living room, he saw Yu Yunjun talking to Fu Juren. Fu Juren was frowning from time to time. Chu Xia came at some time and was sitting quietly on one side, listening to the conversation.
Pei Ziyun coughed. Yu Yunjun and Fu Juren looked over and saw Pei Ziyun coming, so they also stood up to greet him.
"Now Mr. Jie Yuangong has become the leader." Fu Juren smiled. He was not from the Songyun Sect. He was barely a peripheral member, so he didn't need to salute. He joked casually, then stopped laughing and asked: "I heard that you went to see the governor and the result was not good?"
Pei Ziyun just sat down. Chu Xia stood up and served Pei Ziyun tea. Then he sighed and said, "The governor took advantage of his illness to avoid his presence."
"Bang" Hearing this, Chu Xia put the tea cup on the table with anger and said loudly: "The governor is really ruthless and unjust. It was you who made the plan to pacify the Japanese and saved the governor in the assassination. He resolved the crisis and was rewarded by the emperor, but why is he so ungrateful and forsaken? It's so annoying."
Pei Ziyun took the tea, took a sip, and said, "This is the moment, that is the moment. Just be calm and don't be impatient."
Fu Juren also smiled: "This is the normal state of officialdom, or the normal state of human relations, but it is not surprising - Ziyun, you teach Chu Xia."
Chu Xia was still dissatisfied: "The Governor is so merciless."
Pei Ziyun was helpless: "This is your responsibility, whatever, I'll just tell you."
He said and suppressed his smile: "Of course officialdom pays attention to human feelings. Not only does it pay attention to human feelings, but it also attaches great importance to human feelings."
"But officialdom, or society, is more about rules, energy, and strength."
"For the same life, the common people donate their money and their lives to their children and grandchildren, and the soldiers sacrifice themselves, but it is only worth ten taels of silver as compensation. Everyone is accustomed to it. If you are not willing to donate your life, you will despise it. You are called unruly."
"If a lieutenant or county magistrate has such a feat, he is called loyal and loyal, and the court must praise him."
"If you were a prefect, let alone donating your life, if you could be more diligent, do things well, or be a little more honest, you would have already served the country well."
"If the governor-general is the governor-general and the auxiliary prince, there is no need to be truly honest, capable, meritorious, and diligent. A single loyalty is enough to win the emperor's heart and be remembered in history. How can we talk about the value of human life?"
"Even if we talk about merits, they are equally great. Let's not talk about the previous dynasty, let's talk about this dynasty. I read the state annals. When Jinshang was weak, there were 2,000 soldiers, and the enemy had 20,000. The situation was critical. Jinshang went out to fight at night, breaking cauldrons and sinking boats to attack the enemy. In the center, a fierce battle broke out in front of the enemy’s commander’s tent.”
"The emperor suffered two wounds and was about to die. A soldier came to the rescue and killed the enemy general. His name was Han Xinliang. In terms of merit, there are two. One is Qingtian's life-saving grace, and the second one is even greater. , Killing the enemy and winning this battle established the rise of Dragon Qi."
"But because this man was just a soldier, and he really accomplished a lot by killing the general and protecting the Lord, some people thought it would be unpleasant to spread the word, so they found an excuse to drag him out and kill him."
"At that time, everyone looked at him with side eyes and felt it was a pity, but they didn't feel that he should not have died!"
"The emperor was kind-hearted after all and sent people to rescue him. He returned to the army and was promoted to an eighth-rank official. Later, he was ostracized all his life and had no future. He was only a seventh-rank official until he died in battle."
"When he died, the emperor thought of it, made him an uncle, and recorded it in the state annals."
"People's soldiers have meritorious service. The good ones will be rewarded with some money and promoted to a higher level. The bad ones will just wait to be killed."
"The county magistrate has meritorious service and has been promoted to the third level in a row."
"The governor-general and the auxiliary princes have meritorious service, but they are afraid that they will not be able to reward loyalty and good deeds even if they are rewarded with honors."
"How can we talk about the size of the credit?"
Pei Ziyun said sadly, so he only wrote a third of it when he went to Taipingce. If he wrote too much, he would be beheaded immediately.
"Therefore, although I have contributed to the governor-general's policy of pacifying the Japanese, benefiting millions of people, and even benefiting the country's destiny, I am a mere official. Not only the governor-general, but also the upper and lower officials, and even the entire society, think that the governor-general can make a difference. You have already promoted me, how can I ask for favors based on merit?"
As he said this, Pei Ziyun smiled. The same is true for kindness. If a big man gives you a drink of water, he will be crushed in return. You, a small person, saves people from fire and water. If you are more grateful than hatred, I will kill you.
There is a story about a man who saved a man's life. When he met him later, he couldn't help but bring his benefactor to his home and entertain him warmly. He discussed with his wife in private: "How can I repay the kindness of the man who saved me?"
The wife said: "Is it okay to repay a thousand horses?"
"No, a thousand pieces of cloth is not enough to repay the kindness of saving my life."
The wife said again: "Is two thousand horses enough?"
The man shook his head: "Not enough."
The wife said: "If this is the case, it is better to kill him!"
So the couple joined forces and killed the man. This actually means that people's status is too low. What if the superior person saves one person
The result was that he was still the same, but he burst into tears and expressed gratitude: "Lord, save me. Not only will I be shattered to pieces, but even my descendants will not be able to repay you in full."
So not only did he become a slave himself, he also donated his descendants to be slaves for generations, which became a legend.
But needless to say these things, what was said above was already very in-depth. Pei Ziyun took a sip of tea and saw that the three of them were dumbfounded, so he did not continue and said: "Master, now you move the people in the Fu family, including my mother." At the mountain gate, there is the master of the Suyue Gate and several elders there, so it is relatively safe."
After hearing this, Yu Yunjun woke up, looked at Pei Ziyun and asked, "What about you?"
Pei Ziyun laughed, with a hint of melancholy and a hint of confidence: "But it doesn't matter to me. With a sword in my hand, there are still a few people who can stop me."
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, it was impossible to refute him. Yu Yunjun looked at Pei Ziyun with a murderous look on his eyebrows. Thinking of his achievements along the way, how many people could resist
He was relieved, but the distance between him and Chu Xia was getting farther and farther, and he couldn't help but sigh. Listening to this sigh, Pei Ziyun took a look and saw that Yu Yunjun's originally pretty face was a little haggard now, because he was worried about Songyun Sect.
Pei Ziyun then said: "Master, I told Elder Zhao that the Taoist temple now has 500 acres. Now that Zhenjun has been granted the title, we have purchased all the 1,000 acres. This will help restore the Taoist temple. Elder Zhao must be busy with things and hasn't done it yet." , I will trouble Master if I go back this time."
