If the Lingzhou officialdom last year was still disrupted by His Highness the eldest son of Lingzhou General at that time, it was just an undercurrent, and in the end it was a farce with less thunder and less rain. Under the bloody iron fist of King Liang, it was a tragedy that caused everyone to be in danger. Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the rain on the tail of Beiliang in spring is even more so. Once the rain falls, the blood will wash away, and it will save you a lot of trouble for the big and small yamen. You must know that in this unprecedented change in Beiliang, three school lieutenants died alone, and the real power lieutenant couldn't count it with his hands. The so-called 800 families with intertwined roots, although it is definitely an exaggerated imaginary number, but there must be 300 families, and most of them were affected in the end. The families involved in the tragedy were powerless to fight back. When General Yan Wenluan was furious, he was even more chilled. The general was not only "easy to talk" by sitting on the sidelines, but also personally mobilized the elite infantry of the Yan family in the Sixth Battalion to control several passes in the northern part of Youzhou. Not only did he turn his face and deny anyone, but he even stabbed himself with a knife. The Daxue Dragon Riders infiltrated into the hinterland of Youzhou. On the east side of Liangzhou, Qi Dangguo, the righteous son of the old Liang king, went out in person. In the north of Lingzhou, there were two cavalry troops, Wang Zhi and Xin Yinma, belonging to different orders in Beiliang. The "upstarts" in charge of Beiliang, Gu Dazu, and Liu Yuanji, Wei Tieshan, these meritorious veterans who abdicated, even if they are inextricably linked to Youzhou, still choose to publicly support Xinliang King at the same time without hesitation. At this time, Even if Youzhou Haohengzhong didn't understand why the Xinliang King was so good-tempered in Lingzhou and why he didn't miss the old love so much when he arrived in Youzhou, he understood one thing painfully, Beiliang's surname was Xu. In Beiliang, the old guy who has the ability and qualifications to wrestle with that young feudal lord, the old army leader, none of them is willing to give them a fair word.
In short, everything is too late.
Old people go, new people come. Moreover, several groups of people came as soon as they came, some were called by Xu Fengnian, and some came uninvited. Cursing, Mr. Wang Da from the Shangyin Academy was leisurely, persuading Huang Chang to be angry and hurt his liver. The two elegant old men had just enjoyed the desert scenery from the border, and hurried to Yihe River in Youzhou without stopping. , but the closer to the Yi River, the more Mr. Wang Da is there. It stands to reason that Huang Shang, a literati who should be most happy to see this scene at this time, has become the guy who scolded the king of Beiliang the most, and Xu Fengnian for being cruel. He was so angry that he called him the real human slaughterer, he was more ruthless than Xu Xiao, if he had the ability to go to Beimang to kill people, what kind of skill was killing his own people. Xu Fengnian didn't smile, didn't get annoyed, didn't say a word, but in the Youzhou general's mansion, he had full power to deal with the military affairs on his behalf. He was completely indifferent to Huang Chang's scolding, and didn't even lift his eyelids.
After Wang Dajiu and Huang Chang, the new governor of Liuzhou, Yang Guangdou, rushed from the land of exiles. This Mohist master didn't look angry at all, but said a few words, "It's almost enough." , "Chen Xiliang did a pretty good job", and then came and went in a hurry, and didn't even have time to drink a sip of hot tea or a hot meal. Except for these gray-haired old men, the rest must be at least the younger generation, Hu Kui, the governor of Liangzhou, the real creator of the predecessor of the white horse scout, who was also accompanied by a man who once wrote "Liangzhou" Yu Luandao from "Big Horse Song", the eldest grandson of the Yinyang Yu family, this guy single-handedly went around the land of refugees, and he didn't seem to be killed or killed. There are also Song Yan, who has only been driving in Lingzhou for a short time, and Wang Xihua, the head of the Shuijing Wang family in Huangnan County, Lingzhou. Wang Xihua, who is famous for his moral articles in Beiliang, and Li Gongde, an economic envoy who is dedicated to making achievements, are the real mortal enemies.
After these people gathered at the Youzhou General's Mansion, the next morning, when the wind and rain were dark, Xu Fengnian planned to call everyone to the newly built Qingludong Academy, but for some reason, Song Yan and Wang Xihua went out together early After going, Xu Fengnian didn't ask anyone to invite him.
Huangfu Ping, who hadn't had a chance to show his face recently, was in charge of escorting a hundred relatives. His face was as heavy as water, and he couldn't see any sorrow or joy. Dian is even more worried. Only the Chief Inspector Wang Peifang, the head of Youzhou civil servants, hangs his tail at the back of the team and sits high on the horseback. He is not as strong and thin as the warrior. His thin body follows the horseback ups and downs. Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, especially when misfortune turns into blessing. No matter how determined he is, Wang Peifang, how can he not feel festive
Youzhou is in chaos, but this academy at the foot of Qinglu Mountain can be regarded as the only remaining piece of pure land in Youzhou. Nearly a hundred scholars and scholars have come here to study with peace of mind. I am afraid that only the two gentlemen who are temporarily the leaders of the academy are required to come up with a meritorious article every month that is suspected of being eager for quick success. How to eradicate the shackles of party disputes, how to solve the scourge of subordinate officials, how to define names and powers, and even how to check and balance powers, etc., many topics are undoubtedly forbidden areas for scholars, but there are still some scholars who can't stand it Every article that wins the title of the month can get a huge temptation ranging from one hundred taels to five hundred taels of silver. As the old saying goes, the book has its own golden house with thousands of bells and millet looks like jade, not to mention the golden house, don’t the latter two need real money? The sages just put their words in a subtle way, and the truth couldn't be more real. Although the Qingludong Academy is just a rough embryo, and the most important spirit of an academy is empty, Huang Chang is obviously in a good mood after climbing the mountain, and he doesn't care about showing any face to the King of Beiliang, and smiles with his beard. Full of gratification, although the imperial court can't help the celebrities to talk, but Beiliang can ignore even the rebellious words, and even fuel the arrogance in turn. According to the old speech officer Huang Chang, this is the real soil for the seeds of reading. If you think something, you can say something, put it into the pen, and then leave it in the history, and let the future generations comment on it. This is the real blessing of scholars all over the world.
Huang Chang stood at the gate of the academy, not in a hurry to cross the threshold, looked up at the plaque written by Xu Fengnian, king of Beiliang, stopped, tears filled his eyes, his lips trembled, and asked: "Can you really accommodate me?" One day, the scholar will be like Huang Chang yesterday, scolding you Xu Fengnian, scolding Beiliang?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "It's okay to scold people, as long as you scholars can take care of yourself, it's enough. If you can also think about helping the world with sincerity, that's even better. If one day, a martial artist with power in Beiliang dares to kill you with a knife, as long as there is reason In your hearts and mouths, not in their hands, I will protect you."
Huang Chang said a few good words one after another, his sleeves fluttered, and he strode into Qingludong Academy with Wang Dajiu. After walking for a while, he suddenly found that the young Xu family did not follow, but stood in place, Huang Chang turned his head and looked puzzled.
Xu Fengnian said: "From now on, as long as Beiliang warriors are wearing armor and sabers, they will not be allowed to enter the academy for half a step. You scholars, don't worry about learning. I don't expect that the literati and warriors in Beiliang will be able to respect each other as guests and get along harmoniously tomorrow, but The worst thing is that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and everyone performs their own duties. But the ugly words come first. Scholars are trying to gain fame and reputation. I, Xu Fengnian, can turn a blind eye to it, but if I dare The tongue and the pen in your hand disturb the government and disturb the people, and they will definitely lose several layers of skin. Don't say that you, Huang Shang, scolded me for breaking your promise. Be soft."
Huang Chang hesitated to speak.
Wang Jijiu, who was on the pirate ship in Beiliang early in the morning, laughed softly beside Huang Chang: "Old man Huang, why are you so pedantic and sour? It's not worth it. Scholar is not afraid of being poor, but when a literati is sour, what he writes can be as bad as it gets." It’s worth less than sauerkraut.”
Huang Chang sighed and stopped insisting.
Yu Luandao wanted to follow into the academy, but Hu Kui, governor of Liangzhou, quietly grabbed the young man who walked out of the mansion, and shook his head lightly. I never thought that Yu Luan took off the famous family knife "Da Luan" and handed it to Hu Kui, then smiled and said: "I'm just bored and want to go in and have a look. I have been studying for more than 20 years, and I have read enough. It is the fate of dying on the battlefield. According to the King of Beiliang, most of this life will never have the chance to set foot here again. Why don't you take a look at the academy while you are not wearing armor or saber? There is no sound of wind and rain, nothing to do Delayed hearing, the sound of horseshoes fighting and killing can even hear callused ears, but the sound of reading in the academy that I have been familiar with since childhood, I really have no chance in the future."
Xu Fengnian looked at the back of the young man who was about the same age as himself, and asked for the knife from Hu Kui, but did not draw it out, but flicked the scabbard with his fingers, and asked with a smile, "Your name is Yu Luan knife?"
The young man who was known as "Yu's proud again" after Cao Changqing on Guangling Road turned around and said with a smile: "Yes."
The young feudal lord who had always given people a gloomy impression these days, smiled softly: "Even if you are a spy from Liyang, just because of your appearance, Beiliang is willing to hold your nose and accept you."
Yu Luandao looked sad, "I'm not a girl in a boudoir, the king of Beiliang judges people by appearance, I really can't be happy."
Xu Fengnian returned the Da Luan Dao to Hu Kui, then waved his hand with a smile, signaling Yu Luan Dao to enter the academy.
When Yu Luandao walked slowly into Qingludong Academy, Xu Fengnian turned around and walked to the fence of the square in front of the academy, and waved to Wang Peifang. The gang members are all genuine military generals, Wang Peifang is a little embarrassed that he is not human inside and out. In the past, Governor Wang was afraid of returning home, but it was because Xu Fengnian was the eldest son of the general Xu Xiao, and he was afraid that this young man would be hereditary succession. The king of Xinliang can still leave some literati pride, but it is a pity that after seeing the king of Xinliang slaughtering under the eyes of Youzhou with his own eyes, there is nothing left!
Wang Peifang carefully stood behind Xinliang King.
Xu Fengnian looked into the distance, "You switched positions with Hu Kui. The governor of Liangzhou has always been half a rank higher than the governor of Youzhou. You, Wang Peifang, are considered to be promoted and rich in the eyes of outsiders, but you and Hu Kui, who was demoted in name, are you two in the same place? You are well aware of the importance of this king's heart."
Sweat dripped from Wang Peifang's forehead, he bent down a little more, and replied in a low voice: "The humble job is clear."
Xu Fengnian hummed, "You go to the academy."
Wang Peifang hurriedly turned around and trotted into the academy.
Xu Fengnian's eyelids twitched, and he slightly shifted his gaze to the foot of the mountain. After a while, he opened his mouth and said to Hu Kui: "Hu Kui, you are a military general. You know that a place like Youzhou is no better than Lingzhou where Li Gongde sits. It's useless to use your fists and knives to reason with them. It's useless to talk to them. Then it depends on your ability."
Hu Kui, who has gone through ups and downs, nodded his head heavily, without a single word of rhetoric.
Xu Fengnian continued: "Le Dian, you will go to the border of Liangzhou tomorrow to help Yuan Zuozong. This time, this king knows that you are the most aggrieved."
Youzhou Deputy General Yue Dian bowed his head and cupped his fists and said: "The last general takes orders! The last general is a rough man, he can't speak nice words, and he only wants to die for Beiliang!"
Xu Fengnian turned around and stared at Huangfuping, "You are still your general of Youzhou. In fact, what you said in the restaurant that day was not wrong, but there are some things that cannot be said to be right or wrong. This king is with you, and Hu Kui. It's not the same, and there's no need to talk nonsense. If you are placed in the position of General Youzhou, what should be said has already been said. But there is one thing you should understand. Huangfuping is no longer the one who has to look at people with his hands tied when he does everything. People from the rivers and lakes with faces, in Beiliang, if this king doesn't show you faces, who can give you? Who would dare?"
Huangfuping, who had been acting like a dog with his tail between his legs in front of Xu Fengnian, smiled for the first time, "With these few words, let Huangfuping go to the oil pan to fry a hundred times, and he will earn back his money."
Xu Fengnian went down the mountain alone in the slanting wind and drizzle without showing any signs of expression.
Meet the two climbers.
Zhao Siku, an old eunuch who traveled thousands of miles from the south of Gyeonggi to Beiliang.
There is even the tall tree dew that has peeled off and faded at the beginning of the mountain climbing.
Xu Fengnian knew that this encounter was the real uncertainty of life and death. But only after passing this hurdle can Xu Fengnian face the Beimang cavalry without any distractions.
In order to go to Beimang alone again in a situation that is too bad to be worse.
Hehe girl followed behind him at some point, Xu Fengnian stopped and shook his head at her.
She also shook her head.
Xu Fengnian scolded with a smile: "Are you stupid?"
The girl assassin chuckled.
This time he was really laughing.
The sound of wind and rain is still there, and there is no sound of reading in the nearby academy, but there is the sound of hehe.
Xu Fengnian approached the little girl and helped her straighten a familiar golden hairpin stuck in her bun, "You look like your mother, and you look good too."
The girl wrinkled her nose, not knowing whether she was happy or sad.
She glanced at him, squatted on the steps, and stopped following him down the mountain.
Xu Fengnian turned around, put both hands on Chunlei and the pawn crossing the river, and resolutely went down the mountain.
Not far from the foot of the mountain, Gao Shulu grabbed the cuff of Lao Diao Temple in Tai'an City, threw it down the mountain, and floated back to the foot of the mountain, leaving the frail elderly eunuch unscathed.
Gao Shulu opened his arms and took a deep breath.
Then he lifted all the wind and rain on the mountain that hadn't fallen to the ground back to the higher nine heavens.
At the same time, the two-sleeved green snake rolled down from the mountain.
