Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"He also fought fiercely with the Northern Liao army that came and won."

After Xuexue Zhuang finished speaking, he looked at the people in the lecture hall and took in all their expressions, movements and eyes.

"What do you think of this matter?"

Chang Feng was the first to speak: "Scholar, is this Jin army really so powerful?"

Xuexue Zhuang gestured to the Di newspaper in his hand.

Changfeng chatted.

Then the scholar saw Qi Heng's expression and said, "Brother Heng?"

Qi Heng stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"Pedant, students think that the Jin Kingdom can win two games in a row, which shows its strong combat power."

"But Bei Liao has a vast territory. It protects the upper, middle, west and south parts of Bei Liao. The troops from the four capitals are still there. This defeat should not be enough to break the bones."

"I should continue to wait and see."

Gu Tingye, who was on the right side of Qi Heng, stood up, bowed his hands to Xuexue Zhuang and said:

"Brother Heng, this is wrong!"

"In the past few years, Bei Liao conquered the Jin Kingdom many times and was defeated one after another. Even the Emperor of the Bei Liao Dynasty was almost captured by the Jin Kingdom."

"Years ago, fifty states in Liaodong established themselves as the Great Bohai State."

"Yeluying, who was the only one who led the Northern Liao army to victory before, was sent to the north of Northern Liao and conquered the Zadalan tribe. He confronted the Ugu enemy Lietong Army Division in Shangjing of Northern Liao."

"We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have contained the troops in the western and southern capitals of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the troops in the east of the central capital have been defeated. How can we not be injured?"

"Therefore, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, should postpone the expedition against Bai Gao and join forces with Yeluying and the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Northern Liao Dynasty first."

Listening to Gu Tingye's words, Qi Heng asked in a daze: "Second uncle, where did you see this news?"

Gu Tingye said: "Of course it is above Di Bao."

There is also a 'little' analysis from his elder brother, as well as Gu Tingye's own opinions.

Qi Heng held up his hands and said: "Second uncle, the Northern Liao Kingdom is so big that it is not that easy to destroy."

Xuexue Zhuang nodded and motioned for the two of them to sit down: "Changbai?"

Changbai stood up, cupped his hands and said:

"Pedant, students think that the Jin Kingdom's army is now at its peak, and its morale is even stronger after successive victories!"

"Even if the Northern Liao Dynasty compromises with our Zhou Dynasty and transfers the troops from Xijing and Nanjing to the east to fight the Jin Kingdom, the chance of victory is not great."

"With Yeluying in the north, Zhou Dynasty in the south, and the Kingdom of Jin in the east, the Northern Liao Dynasty will be destroyed in a matter of seconds."

"And the Kingdom of Jin may become a powerful enemy of Zhou Dynasty and I have to guard against it in the future!"

"Therefore, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, should prepare our troops and horses, postpone the conquest of Bai Gao Kingdom, and be prepared for any danger!"

Xuexue Zhuang smiled noncommittally, and also motioned for Chang Bai to sit down.

Afterwards, Xuexue Zhuang looked around the lecture hall and glanced at Sanlan.

Mo Lan turned around and glanced at Chang Feng. After seeing the expression on Chang Feng's face that it had nothing to do with him, Mo Lan glared at Chang Feng bitterly;

Ru Lan scratched the corners of her mouth with her fingers, as if she was still thinking about the locations of the Northern Liao and Nanjing mentioned by Chang Bai;

Minglan looked at Changbai with a brush in one hand, nodding her head, and then looked at Xu Zaijing in the corner with confusion.

"Stab"

Xuexue Zhuang unfolded his paper fan and said, "Zai Jing?"

Xu Zaijing stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"Students, students think that Bei Liao's energy is not exhausted! And I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, should not wait and see, but should cut through the mess quickly and attack Bai Gao!"

Xuexue Zhuang said with a smile: "Oh?"

After hearing what Xu Zaijing said, everyone in the lecture hall looked at Xu Zaijing.

Xu Zaijing continued:

"Study, as Di Bao said, Yeluying, the clan member of the Northern Liao Dynasty, was sent to the north of the Northern Liao Dynasty, but he first conquered the Mongolian tribes and then held the Northwest Road Recruitment Department in his hands."

"But these days they have been in confrontation with the Ugu Enemy Lietong Army Division, and there has been no news of mutual attacks."

"Students think that Ye Luying is preserving the elite for the Northern Liao Dynasty."

"And once our northern armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty made any changes to attack the Northern Liao Dynasty, students thought that Yeluying would attack our armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty first."

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, Gu Tingye shook his head and said: "Brother Jing, the place where they are facing each other is thousands of miles away from the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can it be so fast!"

Xu Zaijing raised his eyebrows and said: "Erlang, most of Gu Hou's troops are infantry, but those led by Yeluying are all cavalry, and there are more than one horse per person!"

Changbai said doubtfully: "Brother Jing, what are you waiting for Ye Luying?"

Xu Zaijing replied: "Of course we are waiting for the fierce fighting between our Da Zhou and Bai Gao Kingdom, and we have no spare time to take care of Bei Liao."

Gu Tingye said again: "Brother Jing, if the Jin Kingdom attacks Zhongjing in Northern Liao, many people will die, maybe the Emperor of Northern Liao."

Gu Tingye did not continue.

Qi Heng said: "Second uncle, why don't you continue talking? Maybe what happened to the Emperor of Northern Liao?"

Gu Tingye looked at Qi Heng and said:

"Brother Heng, Yeluying and her younger brother Yeluxun are also members of the Northern Liao clan!"

"And Yeluying not only has a large number of troops in his hands, but he is also the only one who has won against the Jin Kingdom in the successive failed wars between the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty!"

Qi Heng suddenly realized: "Second uncle, you are saying that Ye Luying wants to commit suicide."

Qi Heng did not continue.

Zhuang Xuexue closed the paper fan and knocked on the table, saying: "Zai Jing, if you say this, how do you know that when Dazhou is going all out to attack Bai Gao, Ye Luying will not come to help Bai Gao?"

Xu Zaijing cupped his hands and said:

"Pedant, there is a unit under Yeluying's command that belongs to the former Northern Liaoning Northwest Road Recruitment Division that her uncle once commanded. Their pastures are close to our Dazhou and Baigao, so naturally they will not be separated."

"The people in the Northwest Recruitment Department are originally responsible for controlling and managing the Mongolian tribes. Naturally, they don't want to have Mongolian tribes around them."

"Although there are good pastures in the Helan Mountains of the Baigao Kingdom, the area is not enough for the Mongolian parts led by Yeluying, and they also have to face battles with our Zhou cavalry and Baigao soldiers."

"It's such a thankless effort. How can I wait for the Northern Liao nobles to die in Liaodong and then directly occupy the pasture near Shangjing?"

Qi Heng asked in confusion: "Brother Jing, are you saying that the Mongolian tribes followed Yeluying because of the pastures near Shangjing in Beiliao?"

Xu Zaijing nodded with a smile.

Xuexue Zhuang glanced at Minglan in the corner of the lecture hall. Minglan's eyes were full of understanding, but she didn't say anything.

Or Gu Tingye suddenly realized: "Pedant, isn't this Ye Luying's strategy to drive away tigers and swallow wolves?"

Xuexue Zhuang waved his fan and signaled Xu Zaijing to say.

Xu Zaijing cupped his hands and said:

"Erlang, it's too early to make a conclusion about who is the wolf and who is the tiger."

"But before Ye Luying throws this piece of fat from a pasture with rich water and grass near Shangjing, the tiger and the wolf always have to fight first."

Changbai said: "Brother Jing, won't these tigers and wolves join forces to eat Beiliao first?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head and said: "Probably not. I heard that Bei Liao has always made appeasement marriages with the Mongolian tribes. The noble clans of Bei Liao have many relatives among the Mongolian tribes."

Gu Tingye asked curiously from the side: "Brother Jing, where did you know these things about the Northern Liao and Mongolian tribes?"

Xu Zaijing scratched his head and said:

"Erlang, I had a chat with the envoy from Bei Liao when I and the fourth brother of the British Duke Zhang family accompanied the envoy from Bei Liao to the Nanyu Garden outside Nanxun Gate to shoot arrows."

Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing doubtfully and said, "Brother Jing, are you okay with talking to the envoy from Bei Liao about this?"

Xu Zaijing nodded.

Zhuang Xuexue said: "Brother Jing, Bai Gao has been a country for many years. How can it be so easy to capture?"

Xu Zaijing bowed and said: "Pedant, Bai Gao has been a country for many years, but there has never been such civil strife and massacre of Bai Gao's clan before."

Zhuang Xuexue nodded in approval, listening to the time shouting coming from far outside the yard, and said:

"Okay! Let's stop talking about it today."

"We will wait and see what happens next."

"Let's break up."

Everyone in the lecture hall quickly stood up: "Congratulations to the scholar."

Shouantang

The old lady looked at Xu Zaijing who was eating a big meal and smiled slightly, and said, "How are Hua Lan and the child these days?"

Xu Zaijing nodded and said:

"Auntie, everything is fine! I can eat and sleep."

"My brother is a little worried. When the baby cries, he wakes up faster than the wet nurse."

The old lady shook her head with a smile.

Seeing Xu Zaijing eating happily, the old lady also ate a lot more than usual.

When Fang's mother on the side saw this, she asked Danju to prepare some tea for digestion.

Two quarters of an hour later,

Cui's mother took Cui Wei and cleared away the tableware that was almost a disc on the table.

Danju and Fang’s mother served sweet and sour tea.

When the old lady took a few sips from the tea cup, Xu Zaijing was already asking Dan Ju, who was a little surprised, to refill the tea cup.

The old lady smiled, looked at Xu Zaijing and said:

"Brother Jing, why do you want to come to my wife's place for lunch today?"

Xu Zaijing said:

"Hey, my grandnephew misses Mom Fang's craftsmanship."

Old lady: "Oh?"

Xu Zaijing looked at the old lady's eyes, sighed, looked at the teacup placed on the table, and said:

"Missing Mom Fang's craftsmanship is just one of them, there's another thing too."

The old lady made a listening gesture and looked at Xu Zaijing kindly.

"My great-aunt, grandnephew, and I were acquainted with Chief Xiao Zhao of the Imperial City Department. Chief Xiao Zhao's subordinate Gao Duanzheng passed by Youyang when he was on business in the southeast."

The old lady nodded and signaled Xu Zaijing to continue.

"After I came back, I talked about some things about Youyang County while drinking with my grandnephew."

"Auntie, you know that your grandnephew is taking the college entrance examination this year. When Captain Gao found out about this, he told your grandnephew that there was a scholar named Sun in Youyang who became a scholar at the age of twelve."

"The betrothal is none other than the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, Youyang."

The old lady had a helpless smile on her face and said, "He told you that the Sun family is an unworthy family to marry into?"

Xu Zaijing raised his head, looking at the old lady with some surprise on his face, and then at Fang's mother who was standing by, and said: "Auntie, do you know about this!?"

Fang’s mother glanced at the old lady and nodded to her, saying:

"Fifth Young Master, our Xu family has an old residence in Jiangning Mansion, and the old lady's several villages are also in the state capital over there."

"Because it's not far from Youyang, when the old lady learned about Miss Shulan's marriage partner, she sent someone to inquire about this Sun Xiucai."

"After asking about it, I also told the old lady of the eldest house that this scholar might not be a good match! But the old lady of the eldest house said"

The old lady shook her head and said:

"My old sister-in-law also took a fancy to the boy from the Sun family who became a scholar at a young age, and said that no matter what happens in the future, he can become a scholar. He can be regarded as a help to the Sheng family in Youyang."

"Besides, the Sun family, orphaned and widowed, cannot afford to cause any trouble!"

"Since the old sister-in-law said so, we can't take more care of it. If we continue to take care of it, we will make people unhappy!"

Xu Zaijing thought:

‘That’s right, my great-aunt has seen a lot of things over the years, so why wouldn’t she ask about the person my cousin’s grandnephew is planning to marry? ’

‘But, since it is the old lady of the Sheng family who has made the decision, there is no point in saying more. ’

‘I thought about the worst outcome, but I didn’t expect it to be so bad’

‘This may be the reason why Mrs. Changfang took her last breath to pull Shulan out of the fire pit. ’

Xu Zaijing thought about this, shook his head secretly, and suddenly had an idea: "Auntie, didn't you say that the Li family has a brother who is good at studying?"

The old lady said nothing.

Seeing the way the old lady looked at him, Xu Zaijing scratched the corners of his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said:

"Auntie, could it be that this brother of the Li family is looking for official relatives?"

The old lady nodded and said:

"If you win a Jinshi, you will naturally find an official family member. This will help you in your official career and go far."

"My cousin did the same thing back then."

"Furthermore, the Li family's achievements in childbirth are unknown. How could the Li family be so stupid just to find an ordinary businessman?"

The old lady shook her head as she spoke.

Then, looking at Xu Zaijing who was drinking tea with his head down and saying nothing, the old lady said:

"Brother Jing is so thoughtful about caring about his relatives."

"Don't worry, the Sheng family's big house business has become bigger and bigger in recent years."

"My nephew Sheng Wei told the old lady that he has been in contact with a lot of noble and high-ranking officials in the past two years. He also told the old lady more than once how grateful he was to the help given to him by the Dukes and Counts. "

"He's just a scholar. Now in Sheng Wei's eyes, he may not really be anything."

Xu Zaijing raised his head and smiled and said, "That's what my aunt said."

After saying that, he put down the tea cup, stood up, stretched and said, "Auntie, then I'm going to the book school."

The old lady smiled and nodded.

Seeing Xu Zaijing disappearing at the door of Shou'an Hall with the well-fed female envoy, the old lady sighed deeply and said:

"Ruan, ask Miss Ming'er to bring Brother Ming."

Mother Cui bowed to the side and responded.

Less than half an hour,

Wei Shuyi took Sheng Changzhu to Shouan Hall.

"Chang Maki, I've met my grandmother!"

Looking at her three-year-old grandson, the old lady carried him to the Arhat bed with a cheerful smile.

The old lady looked at Wei Shu and said, "I heard from the female envoy in your courtyard that Zhu'er has been copying copybooks at such a young age?"

Wei Shu gave a blessing gift:

"Yes ma'am."

"How's the copying going?"

Wei Shu smiled and said: "Every stroke is quite impressive. How about I ask Xiaodie to bring it to you for a look?"

The old lady smiled and nodded.

After a while, the old lady held the copybook copied by Sheng Changzhu in her hand. She looked at Wei Shuyi who was sitting on the embroidered pier, nodded and said:

"Look at the copybooks copied by Chang Ming at this age. In the future, his writing will definitely be better than Ming Lan's!"

Wei Shuyi sat on the embroidered pier and bowed with a smile: "That's what the old lady said."

late April,

On this day,

After attending classes for many days, Zhuang Xuexue announced that he would take a day off.

Xu Zaijing also rarely walked his horse in the racecourse in the morning.

After running a few laps,

I saw carriages and horses entering the courtyard where the racecourse is located.

Two of the men on horseback also walked towards Xu Zaijing.

"Brother Jin? Brother Bo? Why are you here?"

"Wulang, we are here to ask for advice. I heard that your family has already been supported by Jin Bu Huan! My mother and sister just got off the bus at the second gate."

"We two brothers came to the racecourse to have a look."
