Three Kingdoms

The sky gradually became brighter, and everything around him woke up.

Everything around is clear and blue, and the breath of early spring always makes people happy. Although the posthouse where Liu He temporarily lived was not the center of Taiyuan City, one could still vaguely hear the sounds of vendors walking through the streets, as well as the sound of pushers, waterwheels and trucks rolling over the stone slabs. , and the laughter and laughter that occasionally drifted close, gathered together from outside the wall, and floated together for the past few days, allowing Liu He's nerves, which had been tense for many times, to completely relax.

Even in early spring, the morning breeze is still a bit cold, blowing on the face, moist and moist, just like the breath of a lover beside you, with the fragrance of vegetation.

Here, Liu He and others received the best hospitality. Cui Jun came out to greet him, and of course Lu Bu. The two two thousand stones greeted him together, which was enough to give Liu He face. The next program was naturally similar. First, a few pretty maids were arranged to help Liu He wash up. Then there was a long and grand banquet, which lasted from the afternoon to the night, and everyone got drunk. of separation...

The sound of soft footsteps came from behind.

Liu He looked back, but it was the concubine who had warmed the bed last night. She held a big cloak in her hand, her eyes filled with excitement, "Mr. Lang, the morning breeze is a bit cold..."

Liu He politely thanked her and asked Shi Ji to tie the cloak on his body.

The concubine smiled tenderly and said that she would go ask for breakfast breasts for Liu He. She also asked if there were any taboos or anything she wanted to eat, then she bowed and left Liu He.

Liu He returned the courtesy politely again.

Shi Ji lowered her head, took two or three steps back, and then turned around. The smile on her face disappeared, leaving only endless loneliness...

Although the concubine is not completely aware of Liu He's identity, Liu He is young, and Commander Cui personally hosted a banquet last night, so he must not be an ordinary person. If he can take advantage of the spring breeze last night, he can be accepted by Liu He on the banquet. On the other side, it can be regarded as a good place to go, which is better than being in the post house. But last night's polite words to Cheng Huan still failed to impress Liu He in the slightest. The seemingly polite words and actions are actually cold and distant, as if the person who was frantically seeking last night was not the same person at all...

Liu Hecai didn't have the heart to care about what a concubine was thinking. Even if he really knew it, he would probably just laugh it off and not even bother to pay attention to it. He was actually thinking about the scene at yesterday's dinner and Cui Junhe. There was something vaguely wrong between Lu Bu and Lu Bu.

We have come this far...

You can't be careless.

Random choices will only make your own value less and less.

Favor is not unlimited.

A rare commodity to live in? nonexistent. Liu He himself knew that every time his father's name was used, its value would lose a bit, and his favor would weaken a bit...

It is definitely impossible to have human feelings always there.

Here in Taiyuan, the atmosphere seems a bit strange. At yesterday's dinner, Lu Bu talked a lot about how Liu He would take on important responsibilities after he came, and even said that Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin could be given priority, looking like he was eager for talents. On the contrary, Cui Jun always smiled and expressed neither objection nor approval.

If you are really looking for talents, you should also talk about the conditions. It is not about things like salary, but you need to understand something, such as ability, planning, ambition, etc. Lu Bu is so enthusiastic, which actually makes Liu He heart A little more doubtful.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t understand the current situation of Wenhou Lu Bu, but it’s not wrong to say that Lu Bu is extremely bad and no one can touch him. It’s just that Liu He is a little hesitant. Although the conditions offered by Lu Bu did make him a little excited, Liu He And feels that Cui Jun is also using this to test him?

After all, choosing Lu Bu's path meant cutting off the other path.

After thinking about it, Liu He felt that he had grasped Cui Jun's context. Normally, shouldn't he test each other out now and talk about positions after confirming that the interests are aligned? But at last night's banquet, Cui Jun only spoke in general terms and never mentioned some details. This was obviously not normal.

So, don't rush.

There can be no rush.

The more anxious you are, the less hastily you should act. My father Liu Yu also taught me this way during his lifetime.

It was because I was impatient that I believed Yuan Shu's lies. As a result...

Whenever Liu He thought of this matter, his heart felt like a knife twisting his heart. Maybe I had been more cautious and thought about it for a while, maybe...

Not only Yuan Er, but also Yuan Da was equally unreasonable. He accepted Liu He just to take advantage of Liu Yu's reputation. After conquering Youzhou and defeating Gongsun Zan, he granted Youzhou to Yuan Xi! Then it was like forgetting that Liu He was there and never mentioned it again.

Why?

Aren't you afraid that Liu He would use his father Liu Yu's name to fight against Yuan Xi in Youzhou?

Sigh! His mother and maidservant!

Liu He cursed fiercely in his heart.

Liu He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"Mr. Lang." Footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Xian Yufu, who lived in the wing, came over and bowed his hands.

"I am planning to go south to see General Zhengxi before making a decision..." Liu He said softly, but in a firm tone, "Cui Langjun gave many hints last night... If Lu Wenhou comes to find him, brother Xianyu might as well just deal with it perfunctorily. …”

Xian Yufu said: "My husband's intention...isn't he optimistic about Hou Lu Wen?"

Liu He smiled slightly and said: "Although time is also a matter of luck, fortune plays a trick on people...but sometimes the situation creates a hero...but it is always safe to see it with your own eyes..."

Xian Yufu nodded, "So, when will Lang Jun leave?"

Liu He said: "Leave immediately!"

Zhengxi, in that rumor, he had great military exploits, supervised the battle in Yinshan Mountain, and traveled across the pass. What kind of character was Zhengxi? Will he be like Yuan Da Yuan Er?

Or will there be another chance?

…………………………

Anyi, Hedong.

Tai Shici glanced at Yang Xiu and said directly: "Don't say anything to me! The scriptures are passed down to the family, haha... Can the scriptures grow crops, and can they withstand swords and guns? If there is something wrong, just say so, there is no need to quote the scriptures!"

"..." Yang Xiu choked and his chest felt tight, but he could only laugh and said, "What the general said is true."

"So-and-so is not a general!" Taishi Ci did not follow Yang Xiu's advice, "He is a captain!"

Pei Jun, who was on the side, held back his smile and said with cupped hands: "The necessary materials should be prepared, and the general can leave at any time."

Taishi Ci nodded, turned to the guard on the side and said, "Send someone to check again! If there is nothing wrong, send the order and we will set off tomorrow!"

The guard received the general's order, accepted the promise, and then retreated. The corners of Yang Xiu's mouth trembled as he watched. Didn't he agree to call himself General?

If Yang Xiu understood what later generations would say, he would probably scream, "You are a naked double standard!"

But what about double standards?

Aren't you going to hold your nose and admit it?

Just when Yang Xiu was still muttering, Taishi Ci turned around and said: "Tomorrow is midnight! Don't miss the time! Otherwise, military law will not tolerate it! If you are not familiar with riding, prepare an extra soft mattress to save your legs and feet. Another inconvenience! Delayed for someone!"

Yang Xiu couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and wanted to curse, but he couldn't. He could only agree and then leave.

Just a few days ago, I followed Fei Qian all the way to Taiyuan Shangdang, but before I could rest for two days, Fei Qian sent him to Hedong again, asking Yang Xiu to cooperate with Tai Shi Ci's actions...

After riding a horse for a long time, Yang Xiu felt that his legs could hardly stand straight. There was no trace of the "correct form" in Yang's family motto. It was already very good if he could keep his legs from turning into bows. .

After returning to his temporary residence, Yang Xiu also gradually adjusted. Anyway, he had to endure what he should endure if he was living under someone else's roof. It's strange to say that people's temperaments can also change. For example, if he didn't go to Taiyuan with Fei Qian to go to the party, but directly asked Yang Xiu to ride with Tai Shi Ci on the expedition, I'm afraid that even if Yang Xiu didn't complain, his health would probably be too much. , but after having the previous experience, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable when Taishi Ci asks him to march with him again...

"Go and get ready. We'll set off after midnight tomorrow..." Yang Xiu explained to his personal guard, then returned to the house, lay down on the bed, and let his legs relax.

Before, as long as it was not dusk, Yang Xiu would never lie on the bed during the day. Because in the Yang family, the word nap is almost equivalent to a series of words such as laziness, incompetence, idleness, etc. It is even allowed to sit and take a nap, but you cannot lie down to take a nap, otherwise you will be severely punished. , even punishment.

but now……

My legs are almost broken, what are the rules for being erect?

General Zhengxi was right, ancient laws cannot last forever, they can only change with the times, and the new generation of Confucianists must take on the task of choosing the direction of change and implementing the details of the change...

The way the Shandong gentry behaved has been proven to be unsuitable, and it is too much to try to cling to the old ways. It needs to be changed.

In fact, from this perspective, Hongnong Yang’s is also very competitive!

After all, the Yang family of Hongnong was the Shanxi noble family who took the lead in making changes. They moved from Guanzhong to outside the Guanzhong. Maybe they were forced to do so, but from a certain perspective, it was just right.

Now that chaos has arisen again, who knows whether today's Hongnong Yang family seems to be forced to make a choice, but in fact it is still just right?

Maybe.

Give it a try, there's no harm in doing it anyway.

I went to Hongnong earlier, and then I had to take the big exam at Morishan Academy...

Busy, but feeling somewhat fulfilled.

Yang Xiu thought about it, muttered a few words, and then unknowingly fell asleep with his clothes on. Even when the guard came back to report after finishing the work, he couldn't wake him up...

…………………………

Moriyama Academy.

Cai Yan held two or three bundles of books in his arms and slowly passed by the corridor on one side of the hall. The students he met stopped and stood on the side of the road, saluting Cai Yan, and waited for Cai Yan to pass before continuing. march.

Cai Yan also tilted his head slightly and returned the greetings one by one, with a dignified and generous manner.

Cai Yan now has the status of a doctor from the Academy. At first, many people were still unconvinced. However, after Cai Yancai held two or three clear lectures in the hall, he made corrections to some common books, and also After pointing out the sources of relevant books, Cai Yan's identity as a "calligrapher" was gradually recognized in the academy.

Perhaps Cai Yong had achieved the Xiping Stone Classic before, so everyone discovered that Cai Yan had inherited Cai Yong's extensive reading, and then found some places among the interrelationships in the books that were due to oral transmission or copying errors. , and then correcting the behavior are all expressions of respect and admiration, not contempt or feeling that she has been insulted because Cai Yan is a woman...

Thanks to the weak shackles on women in the Han Dynasty, even in the Tang Dynasty there were still a large number of women active in literary and political circles. However, in the Song Dynasty, well, in the subsequent dynasties, there seemed to be only three-inch golden lotuses left.

"Master Cai!" Two and a half-year-old boys solemnly bowed their hands on the left side of the road and said, "I heard that Master Cai wants to re-edit "Shuowen Jiezi". Although we are not talented, we still want to share some of Master Cai's worries. !”

Cai Yan stopped and looked at the two people. She knew one of them, Sima Yi, but she didn't recognize the other one, so she asked: "Sima Zhongda, who is this..."

Sima Yi quickly introduced: "This is the son of Wang Shijun of the Wang family in Taiyuan..."

"Your Majesty, Wang Chang and Wang Wenshu, have met Master Cai!" Wang Chang quickly met again.

That day, after discussing Taoism in Pingyang Restaurant, Sima Yi met Wang Chang. Because they were similar in age and had similar status, Sima Yi's father Sima Fang served as a county guard, and Wang Chang's father Wang Ze also served as a county guard. Although the two governors were more or less powerful, they could still be regarded as two thousand dan in general, so they quickly became friends. During this period of time, they were inseparable from each other.

Just as General Fei Qian expected, when Cai Yan gradually revealed that he wanted to revise "Shuowen Jiezi", Mr. Shui Jing, who always paid attention to reputation, was a little moved, but he couldn't It would be too disrespectful to lower your body and run over before seeing any actual results, so it was reasonable to send Sima Yi out to lead the battle, but I didn't expect that Sima Yi would also Just dragging Wang Chang along with him.

Cai Yan smiled and did not ask where the two of them got the news. Anyway, they could guess almost exactly, so he said: "You two have this intention, and Yan is also pleased. But the correction and proofreading is boring and cumbersome. , coupled with the large number of ancient books, it is difficult to search and obscure..."

Sima Yi naturally knew that Cai Yan was politely refusing, but he was convinced and said, "Although we are young, we still have the desire to learn. How can Master Cai refuse?"

"That's okay," Cai Yan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If the two are in the spring match, they can be rated as top or middle... If not, I'd better read more scriptures and discuss this matter later. "

Sima Yi and Wang Chang looked at each other, then cupped their hands and said, "That's it!"

Cai Yan smiled slightly, nodded and left without saying much.

Sima Yi and Wang Chang respectfully sent Cai Yan away, and then Sima Yi glanced at Wang Chang and said: "It's just a comment on the superior, we want to take the superior! Brother Wang must not miss the spot..."

Although Wang Chang was not convinced, he also said: "Someone must be the best!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, then laughed again, and then walked back side by side, muttering something as they walked, and with laughter, they walked past blue bricks and white walls, and past red tiles and moss.

And around these two people, there are many students from Shoushan Academy, in small groups, some reading, some discussing, some meditating, or writing. Maybe in the near future, new changes will burst out here. …
