The more ambitious you are, the more you need to hold power. Naturally, you need a large group of colleagues and subordinates to work hard together. You have to take care of all aspects of interests. To give a simple example, if an official opponent pours dirty water on you, even if the emperor doesn't care, half of the capital will speak ill of you? Or is half of the scholars blindly following along? What's even more frightening is that even the common people will follow you and scold you. what would you do? Scold back? You, a gentleman who has read the books of sages and sages, are all Huang Zigongqing. It is shameful to scold people face to face and be polite and disrespectful, right? Furthermore, it also spoiled the emperor's impression. What do you need to do? Do you want friends or not? Do you want to build a Zhanglu, or do you want to be the leader of the Youth Party? Liu Huai, just ask yourself, I can't give you an answer. I just want to tell you that if you want the state affairs to be smooth and politically clear, you will inevitably encounter various malpractices that will eventually block the path of the ruling and opposition parties. The malpractices come from bad governance. The empty talker is the most chic. Those who do things are the most scolded. The world is bustling, nothing more than profit coming and going. Finally, let me tell you a sad fact. The reason why Zhang Julu committed suicide is that he saw that the children of the aristocratic family controlled the court. I am not saying that all the noble sons who came out of the humble family are like this, but there are certainly not a few of them. Let me ask, after the latter suddenly becomes rich, even if he can clean himself up, will there be anyone in his family who is demanding too much? Will they bully others locally? Will he become a rich and evil gentry running rampant all over the place? Hundreds of good filial piety are the first, and when they become officials, how many people dare not recognize their parents who have no benevolence and righteousness? Brother and friend, brother Gong, elder brother helped you study hard all the way to become a talent. If he said that I want to marry a wife and take concubines, and want thousands of acres of fertile land, will you agree or not? Husband and wife respect each other as guests, and someone in the wife's family commits crimes, and the incident is exposed, do you dare to let his head roll to the ground, would you like to see the wife who sleeps in the same bed, washing her face with tears every day? Your fellow countryman has been poor for many years, you are rich and honored but he has no name, and he begs for a small official. If he is really talented and learned, but his fate is not good, how do you deal with it? If you join hands to be rich and your children get married, but in the future he will be corrupt and misuse the country, I beg you to forgive me. There are dozens of close friends, including the scholar who gave you the name, and the yellow-mouthed child who recognizes you as a godfather. But their lives are hanging by a thread, so what should you do? "
Sun Yin finally stopped talking, probably because his mouth was dry, and he got up and searched for wine.
Liu Huai was dumbfounded, sweating profusely.
Sun Yin finally found a pot of green ant wine, drank it with his head back, then glanced at Liu Huai, smiled and said: "Being rich is not kind, I'm not really afraid, those guys die as soon as they die, and high-rise buildings collapse as soon as they are destroyed. I can't say that I, Sun Yin They will also take the initiative to trouble them. But the four words are vicious and vicious, and the four words are poor and short-sighted. Are you afraid? I am afraid of Sun Yin! He is even more afraid of Zhang Julu!"
Liu Huai never moved or made a sound.
Sun Yin walked up to him and shook his arms in front of Liu Huai, "What's wrong, are you scared?"
Liu Huai's eyes were red, and there were tears indistinctly.
Sun Yin handed the jug to the scholar from Beiliang, jokingly said, "Don't be afraid, drinking will calm you down."
Liu Huai shook his head and smiled wryly, "I don't want to drink any more, I haven't had alcohol before."
Sun Yin rolled his eyes, withdrew his hand, went to sit on the threshold, and said with a playful smile: "Come on, then I will have the blessing to myself."
Liu Huai sat beside him silently.
In the early spring, when the spring is cold and the snow is melting, the bones are the most frozen.
Sun Yin said to himself: "Take ten thousand steps back, people with no relatives and no relatives, no worries, no worries, one day they will finally be in a high position, are you willing to do small good things, and are you afraid of doing small evil things? Anyway, these two I, Sun Yin, neither want to do such a thing, nor am I afraid to do it."
Liu Huai sighed.
Sun Yin has always been a fast drinker when drinking, shaking the small half pot of green ant wine that is expensive, sighing: "Oh, I have a headache! My heart is too high, I see too clearly, I think too clearly, so I, Sun Yin, are better than you idiots. It's even more lonely. From now on, I won't talk nonsense to you, a fellow from Beiliang, and waste my green ant wine."
Liu Huai said softly: "I've made up my mind, I still want to be an official."
Sun Yin immediately scolded with a smile: "Damn it, you are more elm than Li Jifeng's elm lump, since when did I not let you be an official! If you don't want to be an official, how can you give me Sun Yin an official position in the future?" help?"
Liu Huai said sullenly, "But I only serve as an official for myself and do something for Beiliang."
This time it was Sun Yin's turn to be stunned on the spot.
After a long silence, Sun Yin stood up, put down the jug, and walked towards his own room, as if he said to himself: "It seems that I really want to understand, then my wine is not in vain, and my words are not in vain."
Liu Huai hesitated for a moment, picked up the jug, smelled it, then turned around and asked, "Did I drink it?"
With his back to Liu Huai, Sun Yin stretched out a hand and only bent his big and small thumbs, "There are about three sips of wine left, so you should owe me three taels of silver. For the sake of fellow villagers in Beiliang, I will only charge you... six taels of silver." !"
Liu Huai asked: "How did you settle the account?!"
Sun Yin walked into the room, closed the door abruptly, and said loudly: "I, Sun Yin, are number one in the world in crafting skills! Second in the world in killing cooked ones!"
Liu Huai turned around, took a sip of green ant wine, and shivered.
Since then, there has been another alcoholic in Tai'an City.
It's just that many years later, the young alcoholic didn't become an old alcoholic, but became a... Jiuxian who is full of peaches and plums.
…
In the four years of Xiangfu, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.
Huaiyang Pass in Beiliang goes all the way to the border of Longyao Prefecture in the north.
A little girl with a sable forehead and a Xianbei jade buckle on her waist, led the red pony like a flame, walking slowly on the vast grassland. The first class beauty embryo.
Behind her followed closely three guards with rigid expressions, one at the finger-xuan level, one at the diamond level, and a second-rank junior grandmaster.
On this peaceful grassland where no war is destined to happen, the lineup of these three people alone is enough to make people speechless. You must know that the battle between Liangmang and Mang is now in full swing, and the master masters have already dispatched their nests. Old bastard, all of them followed the 400,000 army to Jubei City. It can be seen that a child who looks like a teenager can have these three followers, and his status is prominent. In fact, it is not only the three top masters, but also the six or seven hundred armored cavalry hanging far behind the three big and one small four, and there are also dozens of assassins who are good at assassination lurking in the dark. A total of 60 horse fences were patrolling around in an orderly manner.
They are Wu Yalanzi, before the battle of Longan'er Plain, they were the only scouts in the world who could compete with Liangzhou White Horse Crossbowmen! It was the elite trained by Dong Zhuo with countless painstaking efforts. The sixty horses riding on Dong's horse fence were regarded as the last seeds, but at this time they were all used to ensure the safety of a little girl.
However, no one in the Dong family's army dared to question half a sentence.
Because everyone knows that in the eyes of General Dong Zhuo, this little niece of the orphan of Paoze is more precious than all the princesses of the Northern and Southern Dynasties combined.
The little girl doesn't like to talk, but she doesn't have arrogance and temperament, and she is naturally close to people. Even the three master followers who escorted her aimlessly wandering all the way like this innocent girl from the bottom of their hearts.
The Martial Dao Grandmaster of the Profound Realm suddenly turned his head and looked north. As far as he could see, several crow riders were confronting a prairie cavalry army of unknown origin, and soon half of the Dong family's private riders were galloping Then, he quickly surrounded the four of them, and the remaining 300 riders headed north.
The haggard cavalry with dusty servants seemed to be exhausted, and the formation was stretched intermittently. In the field of vision of the six crow fences, there were at least 700 cavalry, and according to the information sent back by two of them. According to news, the number of this cavalry army is at least around a thousand.
The leading knight dressed as a commander raised his whip high and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way quickly! I am chasing and killing fugitives. It is the military order of Yuchan Prefecture Chijie and General Huyan! Anyone who stands in my way dies!"
Liuqi Crow Lanzi turned a deaf ear, completely indifferent, neither moving forward nor retreating.
The angry commander of Beimang squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth. If he hadn't seen the more than 300 cavalry approaching, he would have led his troops to rush past him. It's just six cavalry. You can do whatever you want. Also a die!
After the young cavalry general of the Dong family stopped his horse, he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
Commander Beimang turned his head and spat fiercely, "I am the chief general of the Yuchan Prefecture Army Town, Yelu Xuanping! Why don't you get out?! You are delaying the big event, don't say you are a baby with no hair, you The master of the house must die!"
The cavalry general of the Dong family said expressionlessly: "I am under the command of General Dong, the commander of the cavalry army, Yelu Xiezhen. It doesn't matter who you are, just charge."
The commander lost all arrogance in an instant, as if he was shorter, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
In the entire thirteen prefectures of the grassland, there are countless generals, big and small, and military towns, but there were only thirteen generals in twenty years, until Fatty Dong, who had been the king of the South Courtyard, became the fourteenth.
The same commander and the same surname Yelu, the one from the north was itching his teeth with hatred. He glanced at the fence of the six horses, and then at the more than three hundred horses. It is Dong Zhuo's private horse! Didn't you, General Dong, fight to the death with Chu Lushan, the capital of Northern Liang, at Huaiyang Pass? Why are there still cavalry soldiers wandering around the border of Longyao Prefecture? Finally bumped into Lao Tzu? !
With a bitter face on his face, he said helplessly: "This General Yelu, to tell the truth, is ordered to hunt down a master of the rivers and lakes who escaped from Dunhuang City. Not only me, but also three other cavalry troops headed south side by side. Not to mention our heavy casualties, even the dead spider web spies, dozens of people died along the way."
The cavalry general of the Dong family frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "My little master is right behind you. If you go south, you can go around a mile away."
The commander said with a mournful face: "General Yelu, we are going south, we really want to lift up every inch of the land to take a look, for fear of missing that expert. Now that person is seriously injured, he must not be able to escape far, at most we Ten miles in front of me, there are people in my cavalry team who are good at hunting. If you are worried that we big bastards will disturb your nobles, then I will only bring a hundred cavalry to follow you, how about it? General Yelu, your lord There are a lot of them, don’t embarrass me, okay? Just treat me as Yelu Xuanping, please!”
Dong Jiaqi general hesitated.
The commander put away his flattering expression before, and said in a deep voice: "I, Yelv Xuanping, killed two hundred and twenty-three brothers. They must not die in vain!"
The cavalry general of the Dong family raised his head and saw that the large cavalry behind this person, and the small cavalry with seven or eight cavalry and dozens of cavalry gathered together, most of them were led by a knight without armor, as if pulled apart. A large net gallops south in an orderly manner.
He finally nodded, and said slowly: "I can make my own proposal and allow you to bring a small number of cavalry to go south with me, one hundred cavalry. One more person, I will kill one person."
Although the cavalry general of the Yuchan Prefecture Army Town had some regrets, he was more fortunate.
This man was also a decisive person, raised his arms and waved his hands, leaving only more than 90 cavalry to follow him straight south, and the rest of the cavalry continued to gallop forward on both sides of a mile away.
Beside the little girl with a sable forehead, the encirclement circle of three hundred riders expanded fifty steps outward at some point, and three personal followers stood side by side behind the girl.
Seeing this scene, Yelu Xiezhen, the cavalry soldier of the Dong family, squinted his eyes and remained calm.
In the team of hundreds of men chasing down the cavalry, the three knights who seemed to be running wildly would occasionally get off their horses and observe the grass carefully, and would even pull up a grass and put it on the tip of their noses for a sniff, and walked along the circular formation. The edge of the road gradually moved south, and finally got on the horse. After the three people's eyes met, one of them shook his head at the cavalry general of Junzhen.
Yeluxuanping had a complex expression, he didn't know whether it was disappointment or relaxation, after carefully sizing up the little girl several times out of the corner of his eye, he clasped his fists to the cavalry general of the Dong family who was not far away and said gratefully: "No matter what, I thank you General Yelu!"
The two cavalry generals have the same surname and the same official position, but the one who claims to be the last general knows that he has nothing to do with the other party.
Yelu Xiezhen said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work."
The cavalry army, which was like hunting in autumn on the prairie, continued to hunt down its prey in the south.
After the cavalry disappeared from sight, Yelu Xiezhen, who rode his horse to the side of the little girl, was sitting high on his horseback. He had already stretched out his hand to hold down the handle of the knife, staring fixedly at the grassland not far to the south.
At the same time, the three martial arts masters all turned around, pointing out that the servants of the Xuan Realm completely blocked the little girl's figure, and the other two were separated by more than ten steps.
It was Tao Manwu's little girl poking her head out and softly shouting, "Come out."
Nothing happened.
She raised her voice and reminded kindly: "It's useless for you to hide any longer."
Finally, the grass loosened slightly, and then exploded with a bang. An unusually burly figure slammed into Tao Manwu's side quickly, and the rainbow light drawn by the two thick chains pierced the chests of the two servants on the left and right of the little girl respectively.
The little girl hastily shouted: "Don't kill anyone!"
Even if it was just a little longer at night, the assassin's neck would probably be wrung off by the followers of the Profound Realm.
The servant had already come to the assassin, holding the neck of the man with five fingers in his left hand, and clenched his fist with his right hand, only an inch away from the assassin's heart.
The two followers on Tao Manwu's left and right each tightly held a chain protruding from the assassin's shoulders. Two huge short knives hung from the end of the chain.
The little girl wanted to go forward, but Yelu Xiezhen showed anxiety for the first time, got off the horse, knelt down and stood in front of her, with firm eyes but a gentle voice said: "Little princess, don't get close!"
Tao Manwu hummed, and then shouted to the old man: "Grandpa with white hair, my name is Tao Manwu, I will not hurt you, and, and... you are going to die soon."
The eyes of the white-haired old man burst into light, "Little girl, what did you say your name is?! Say it again!"
Tao Manwu shouted loudly: "My name is Tao Manwu!"
Then she said something that everyone including Yelu Xiezhen couldn't understand, "I know that person!"
The old man laughed hoarsely, without the slightest sorrow of dying, only inexplicable pleasure, "Good good good good! What a road that never ends! God, just pretend that my surname Chu owes you once!"
Tao Manwu tugged Yelu Xiezhen's cuff, and said seriously: "Brother Xiezhen, can I have a few words with the white-haired grandpa? Don't worry, I know he won't hurt me and won't lie to you!"
Yelu Xiezhen was the only one who knew the little girl's talent, and he touched her little head affectionately, "But the three elders and I will follow by your side, okay?"
The innocent little girl nodded her head vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, which was very cute.
She walked forward quickly, followed closely by Yelu Xiezhen and two followers.
Tao Manwu was five or six steps away from the burly old man and the subordinates of the Finger Profound Realm. She suddenly sat down on the ground, cross-legged, and then raised her head and said, "What's the matter, grandpa, please tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help you!" help you!"
Yelu Xiezhen, who couldn't laugh or cry, signaled the grandmaster to release his five fingers with his eyes, the latter hesitated to speak, and finally let go and retracted his fist, and moved three steps sideways to give the little master enough vision, even though he knew that the assassin was exhausted. With the pitiful situation of lamp withering and qi machine drying up, the master of the fingering profound realm still dare not take anything lightly.
The old man with disheveled hair also sat cross-legged with the little girl, squinted at the expert at the Profound Realm, and snorted coldly: "In normal times, I will kill you with one hand!"
In fact, the old man had already given up his plan to escape from birth, and the reason why he used up his last energy to hide here was nothing more than wanting to leave a relatively decent way of death for himself.
The heavens and the earth are so big, that he was able to meet this little girl named Tao Manwu, I'm afraid it can only be explained by God's will.
The old man bowed his head and panted heavily, his broad chest heaved violently, and after his aura calmed down a little, he looked at the little girl and said slowly, "Little girl, I heard that person talk about you, but I'm very surprised how do you recognize me? "
Tao Manwu didn't hide anything, and said in a crisp voice: "Before I only knew that I should go this way, but I didn't know what I would encounter. I only knew that you would not hurt me, grandpa... and I can see some things that others can't see. Arrived something...”
The little girl thought for a while, and quickly stretched out her hands, drawing seemingly random circles in the air, very scribbled and messy.
The old man clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "Such a talent is really unheard of! Before we parted with him, I heard him mention you inadvertently, and knew that there is a little girl named Tao Manwu in Beimang..."
Tao Manwu blinked those aura-filled pupils, shining brightly.
In the deepest part of her eyes, there is some happiness and some sadness.
The old man coughed, clenched his fists on his knees, and said in a deep voice, "I originally wanted to go to the Princess's Tomb... that's all, I won't talk about these things. Anyway, before I left Beiliang, I wanted to go to the Central Plains rivers and lakes. But I got a secret letter from another old man, saying that there is a mystery in Dunhuang City, I hope I can do something last, but unfortunately I only finished halfway... Tao Manwu, remember, let that person know as soon as possible, the sooner the better, the better. Good! Let him know that he not only has a woman in the north, but more importantly, that woman gave him a child!"
Tao Manwu opened his mouth slightly, apparently at a loss.
The old man smiled wryly and said: "I don't care if you, girl, will help or not. To be honest, it's reasonable not to help. Anyway, I can finally die with peace of mind."
After saying this, the old man stretched out his hand into his sleeve with difficulty, this action scared Yelu Xiezhen and the three followers as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, the old man just took out a yellowed book that was not too thick, threw it lightly to the little girl, and laughed at himself: "He gave me a knife manual, and later he added some moves himself, and I can roughly understand it." , It’s a pity that you can’t learn all of them, little girl, I’ll see you off.”
Tao Manwu took the sword manual with both hands, held it in his arms, his eyes were moist.
She knew that the old man was really leaving.
The old man stretched out his thumb, pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "Little girl, remember, my name is Chu Kuangnu, the white-haired grandfather. I am the first peerless master that person has ever met in his life!"
The old man twitched the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and said to himself: "The chicken legs soaked in the lake water are so fucking delicious..."
Tao Manwu wiped away his tears, and made a loud promise to the dead old man: "I promise you! I will definitely tell him!"
…
After Tan Tan Weng Huanwen, Neo Confucian master Yao Baifeng and the three, Liu Huai served as the Zuo Jijiu of the Guozijian in his forties. After thirty years, a full thirty years, he did not transfer to other government offices, and finally died in the Zuoji of the Guozijian Let the wine go.
During this period, Zuo Jijiu, the youngest in the history of Liyang, rejected the solicitation of the new emperor of Liyang again and again, not to be a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and not to be a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.
The old man of seventy years of age gave lectures in the Imperial College for the last time, and it was unreasonable to give lectures exclusively to a full house of scholars from Beiliang.
The old man was holding a jug of green ant wine in his hand, and before giving lectures to those well-dressed scholars who were sitting upright, he raised his arms, shook the jug lightly, and said with a smile, "Do you know how much this jug of wine sold for four years in Xiangfu?" You would never have guessed that even if this jug of wine is the green ants of the best wine, it is only sixty renminbi. I remember that in the early spring night of the fourth year of Xiangfu, I drank for the first time, and it was our Beiliang Road The green ant wine, it is so expensive, a certain person only left me a small half pot of three sips of wine, and charged me a full six taels of silver! Penniless, and he drank the wine on credit in a daze, he had already vomited that sip of green ant wine. And this so-and-so person brazenly said that it was for the sake of his fellow villagers in Beiliang that he would drink it in twos and threes. Yinzi's wine sold me six taels, do you think this guy has a dark heart?"
The young scholars studying in the Imperial College burst into laughter.
The old man smiled and said: "It's really black-hearted, isn't it? Well, you are not unfamiliar with this guy. He once served as the right sacrificial wine for our Guozijian for a short time. Fortunately, he packed up and left soon. His surname is Sun Mingyin. You guessed it right. It is our The 'Old Fifth Sun' in Tai'an City, Sun Yinsun, who has served as the Minister of the Ministry of War in addition to the Ministry of War for the six departments of Shangshu Province!"
The Beiliang scholars were subconsciously silent at first, but soon burst into laughter again.
If you talk about other officials, let alone the second-rank Shangshu who is in the center, even a minister of the first class would never dare to laugh so openly.
But Old Shangshu Sun is different. In his old man's words, "you juniors, as long as you don't bully me and beat me on the spot, you'll be fine. It doesn't matter if you scold me secretly in person. Ever since I, Sun Yin, became a high official, I have I've never scolded people who are younger than me, why? Anyway, I don't like it, so I just let him go, and why do you scold him? Only those who are older than me and have a louder voice than me, I can only scold Once scolded, it’s just a dry addiction.”
Sun Yin had a bad temper, not a good temper, but he was such a guy, he either hated and feared him extremely, or admired him so much, there were very few neutral people.
You must know that even His Majesty the Emperor once said with a smile: "Every time Mr. Sun points his nose and jumps to scold others at the court meeting, no matter what I think is justified or unreasonable at the moment, I will never rush to draw conclusions. After thinking about it thoroughly, I decided whether to scold him back or reward him with a few jugs of good wine."
Sun Yin, who went to five yamen in Shangshu Province successively and all became Shangshu, seems to be very similar to Tan Tanweng, a former important minister, but very different.
Probably the only guy in the world who can steadily overwhelm Sun Yin in the matter of cursing is the old Beiliang Taoist envoy who only entered Beijing three times in his life. , Chen Xiliang! Just him.
For half a lifetime, he served as an envoy, and for half a year, he served as a sacrifice to the left.
Nowadays, the Liyang court uses it exclusively to describe someone in the officialdom who has not moved for a long time.
The former refers to Chen Xiliang, and the latter refers to Liu Huai.
The old man waited until everyone regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "Students of your generation in Beiliang probably can't imagine what it was like back then. In the first year of Xiangfu, when I was in Tai'an City at that time, I met a group of scholars from other places. They were dressed in bright clothes, holding fan waist jade, and they were suave. Well, you seem to be similar now... At that time, two people knew After I became a native of Beiliang, I questioned and answered in a strange manner. One asked, "Liyang's imperial examinations emphasize classics and righteousness, and despise poetry and prose. It stands to reason that poor scholars in Beiliang have taken advantage of the sky. Why are they still doing it every year?" No results in the general examination? How strange!?' One of them answered loudly, 'Because the barbarian from Beiliang doesn't talk about classics and articles, he can't even write poems and prose!'"
The old man looked at those young faces, mostly resentful, but also calm and ironic after the turn of the feng shui. Naturally, some were completely indifferent and kept out of it. It is not surprising for the old man to see a lot of ups and downs.
The old man just said indifferently: "At that time, I couldn't blurt out the sentence 'I'm going to fuck your mother, it's weird!' It's not that I didn't dare, but I was afraid that it would further confirm the vulgar impression of us Beiliang scholars in the eyes of outsiders. Now, you should be There is no such opportunity. It would be the same if you ridiculed scholars from other places like this, such as the scholars of Nanjiang Road who have been street rats for many years."
The old man did not speak out about the fate of the scholars in Nanjiang Taoism. The old man has long understood that justice is only in the heart and never in the mouths of others.
Liu Huai just returned to the topic, and said slowly: "I, Liu Huai, think that drinking is the first, teaching is second, playing chess is the third, writing is the fourth, cheek is the fifth, quarreling is the sixth, and being an official is the last. The world laughs and scolds Older Liu of the Imperial College has ulterior motives, because he wants to be the overlord of the literary world, the master of scholars, holding a handle on the national literature, and in the end, the court will be full of yellow and purple, isn't it all my disciples of Liu Huaizhi?"
The whole hall of Beiliang scholars was silent.
The old man laughed loudly and said, "It's ridiculous!"
The old man suddenly looked resolute and dignified, not inferior to those central bosses with higher rank and more authority. Shen Sheng said that they were all the words from the heart that the old man had accumulated for most of his life.
"When I entered the capital when I was in Guanzhi, I had a wish. One day, if I can enter the temple, I will not let my Liu Huai's predicament and embarrassment of studying in Beijing be repeated for the younger generation of Beiliang scholars!"
"Liu Huai will not let Beiliang scholars buy books and pens, they will spend even more money!"
"Liu Huai will not let the scholars of Beiliang, when they talk to others, cause people to stare because of their accent!"
"Liu Huai will not let the scholars of Beiliang speak out for the country and plead for the people above the temple!"
The Imperial College Zuo Jijiu blushed, paused for a long time, and said with a sneer: "Nowadays, people in the world are afraid of my party, call me domineering, and especially hate my party as the hardest!"
In the Liyang court, the statement of the Liang Party has always been conceived and unspeakable. No one dared to speak out directly. It never occurred to Liu Huai, who is regarded as one of the stalwarts of the Liang Party, to personally resort to it today. !
"In my heart, Liu Huai, there is the Liang Party. Among the older generation, they only say that those who are about my age, some have passed away, and some are still alive, such as the old chief assistant Chen Wang, the old minister Sun Yin, and some Old Hanlin Yanchi Collection, all! Outside the capital, Kou Jianghuai, Xie Xizhen, Chen Xiliang, Cao Wei, Yu Luandao, Li Hanlin, Lu Chengqing, Huangfuping, Song Yan, Chang Sui, Hong Xinjia, Cao Xiaojiao, Wang Zhi, Hong Shuwen, Hong Piao, etc., they are all!"
The old man laughed loudly, and asked himself and answered: "So many important people who will be famous in history in the future are all members of our cool party. Are you afraid? I am afraid too!"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said with contempt on his face: "What? You say I seem to have forgotten that one? That old servant and old scholar who hid in Jiangnan Road for a long time? Because he is nothing at all, of course Well, I scolded him for nothing, and I have been scolding him for many years. But you may not know one thing, this old man also tried to call himself Beiliang in his later years, but it is a pity that Jin Lanting only wanted to Recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, but we, as the ancestors, are not willing to recognize this grandson at all."
Before the old Jijiu claimed to be the sixth in quarrels, but before he became an official, he only listened to these swear words without dirty words. This so-called sixth has a lot of weight.
The old man suddenly said loudly: "In the Liyang Military Department, he served three times successively as the Seventh Minister of the Shangshu, Kou Jianghuai! Cao Wei! Yu Luan Dao! The other seven are the third-rank ministers, all from the Beiliang Frontier Army!"
"For forty years, the posthumous posthumous title of military commander, half-leaved in Beiliang!"
"How magnificent!"
"I am Beiliang! How strong!"
"Don't forget, your clothes and sleeves today, your waists of jade, and your high-spirited talk were bought by Beiliang cavalry at the cost of 320,000 deaths in the first four years of Xiangfuchu! In 1999, the Beiliang Prince’s Mansion, which is now the Jinglue Mission’s Mansion, was exchanged for 320,000 stone tablets with names on Qingliang Mountain there, and today is what it is today!"
"I don't care about what other scholars think, and I don't bother to care about it. But you scholars who were born in Beiliang, as long as I, Liu Huai, live, I hope you can remember it for a day!"
"Finally, let me say one last thing, remember that person."
"His surname is Xu!"
The old man was already extremely outspoken. Until the end of the day, the old man hadn't had a sip of the green ant wine, and there was only one sentence left, which he never said.
This sentence is too taboo and too heavy.
There is no Central Plains without him.
…
In the late spring of the fourth year of Xiangfu.
The rain is as moist as crisp.
University Scholars Mansion, a small pavilion facing the lake, with exquisite and exquisite hangings under the eaves.
Two people of the same age stood side by side, one was Yan Chiji, the young uncle of the country, and the other was Kong Zhenrong, who worked in the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
Kong Zhenrong said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of War just got the news that the Beimang army suffered serious losses outside Jubei City, but the reinforcements of food and grass troops from Longyao Prefecture have never been interrupted. Jubei City was beaten badly, and Huaiyang Pass was even more tragic. The battle of recklessness will have to drag on for at least two or three months."
Yan Chiji leaned on the window rail and said with a smile: "Our capital is too busy to take care of itself now, so you are probably the only one who cares about these news."
Kong Zhenrong put his arms around his chest, grinning and said: "Li Hanlin is really amazing. He became more and more courageous as he fought. After he became the only remaining White Horse Captain outside Beiliang Pass, especially after the Battle of Laowo Mountain last year, he and Yu Luan The three cavalry troops of Dao Caowei and Wang Jingchong, together with the two generals of Liuzhou, Kou Jianghuai and Xie Xizhen, beat the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, including Beimang and Gusaizhou, crying for their fathers and mothers. There are only two main field teams left in Beimang, and three of them swaggered around the Southern Dynasty Xijing City, just like walking a dog. In this way, the entire Northern Mang Southern Dynasty, except for the north line of Longyao Prefecture, was beaten on all sides A leaky sieve."
Yan Chiji subconsciously rubbed the stubble on his chin, which seemed to be getting more and more painful. Back then, among the four, Kong Wuchi was the oldest and the first to have a beard, and Li Hanlin often joked that Yan Chiji was a little boy, but unfortunately he was ugly, and he was a thousand miles away from Brother Nian. So even if you sell your ass, you can't sell a few copper coins.
Yan Chiji asked: "What do you think will happen if we stay in Beiliang?"
Kong Zhenrong had obviously thought about this kind of problem a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "Why don't you say it, either you are a knife and pen officer under Song Dongming in Qingliangshan, or you are a military plane staffer in white in the city of rejection, but I It's different, at worst, I can be a White Horse Captain just like Li Hanlin!"
Yan Chiji scolded with a smile: "Virtue! You can be so arrogant only when the two of them are not around. When you were with them in the early years, you Kong Wuchi was never obedient and a boring gourd."
Kong Zhenrong rolled his big eyes.
Back then in Beiliangdao, apart from the nickname Wu Chi, Kong Zhenrong had a well-known nickname in the brothel Goulan, Kong Dashanren! Because every time the four of us drink flowers and wine together, only this stupid big man stands alone, and he will never call him a beautiful and flowery oiran. The girl who received the guests shouted out to accompany the drink." Mr. Kong Dashan not only called out those women who were more beautiful and tricky every time, but also rewarded them with a lot of money every time, and called them to sit next to him. Never neglecting them, Kong Zhenrong, a living bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, had a reputation resounding all over the flower gardens in Beiliang Road, and his reputation was not much inferior to that of His Royal Highness who likes to spend a lot of money. So much so that Kong Zhenrong's father panicked at the time, fearing that the only seedling in the family would marry a girl who could ward off evil spirits into the house in the future, and wouldn't it be reduced to a joke in the official circles of Beiliang Dao
So back then, the fathers of the four evils in Beiliang had different mentalities. The old Liang Wang Xu Xiao had a big heart and didn't care at all. The old pedant Yan Jiexi loved his son's reputation, the iron rooster Li Gongde loved Bai Huahua's silver, Kong Zhenrong's father was the worst, I'm afraid his future daughter-in-law will be a girl who can't walk at night, otherwise it will scare people to death.
Yan Chiji said with emotion: "Li Hanlin's sister seems to have never been married."
Kong Zhenrong curled his lips angrily and said: "This bitch Li Chengzhen has eyes on her forehead since she was a child, and she doesn't look good on anyone. Anyway, I can't understand her the most. I remember she likes to call me rough, how dare she Scolding Brother Nian is a pervert, Li Hanlin is her younger brother, Li negative is really not willing to scold, but you are the one who reads the most among us, and you are less scolded... As for your sister, well, it is better than Li negative. .”
Yan Chiji was a little helpless.
Xu Fengnian, Li Hanlin, Yan Chiji, Kong Zhenrong. Li negative, Yan Dongwu.
There were six of them.
The three are in Beiliang, and the three are in Tai'an.
The three stayed in their hometown, and the three went to other places.
Spring rains, ripples on the lake
