Three Kingdoms

When the news of the bloody conflict between Lu Yu on the street and Zhou Quan and others reached the Hussar Mansion, Fei Qian was almost dumbfounded.

Really arresting Zhou Quan and others is actually just a matter of one sentence. After all, it has been initially locked, but Fei Qian means to train troops through Zhou Quan and others...

As long as you have a slightly longer view, you will definitely know something similar to this kind of spies. It is impossible to say that only Zhou Quan's group is the only one. There must be spies lurking in other places.

Many people have read the book written by the grandson of Hua Xia...

At the same time, as Fei Qian further opens up areas that he has never set foot in before, and his diplomatic relations with foreign countries gradually increase, this kind of counter-espionage awareness also requires such "practical" activities to gradually become a cordon in daily work. .

From another perspective, how to catch it is also a science.

The methods of interrogation, seduction, pressure, etc. derived from this also require Kan Ze to use them little by little, form a report, submit a summary, and then let more people learn, just like a cat catching a mouse. It is rare to kill them with one bite, but through constant teasing and teasing, you can master the habits and behaviors of rats.

Then the big cat takes the kitten to scratch it, and the kitten basically knows how to do it.

Originally, Fei Qian suggested to Kan Ze that he should systematically suppress Zhou Quan and others until everyone on this line was brought out. After all, Xiaoyu Xiaoxia may only be responsible for one aspect and is not familiar with other people, and directly arresting Zhou Quan and others may lead to death or injury, or they may just run away if they notice something is wrong...

In an era where cameras don't exist at all, it's really hard to catch a person who really wants to run away.

But this process was ruined by Lu Yu's behavior.

After listening to the report on the entire process, Fei Qian pondered for a while and said, "Then just arrest him!" Let the Hundred Medical Hall send doctors to treat the injured students... In addition, ask the Shenlu Academy to send two people to express condolences... Well, there is no need to use the garrison, let Wen Chang take the new students of the Jiangwu Hall to exercise..."

Fei Qian paused for a moment and smiled again, "Besides, let Lu Zi's family come to visit!" 』

On the other side, Lu Yu really didn't know that he had ruined Fei Qian's original plan, but when he received the summons, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He was lucky, and he had practiced with his father, Lu Zhi, so he was not injured. But others, not so much.

Two were killed, two were seriously injured, and three or four were slightly injured. .

With Wei Yan's dispatch, Chang'an streets quickly returned to calm.

Lu Yu went to the Husband's office with some anxiety.

In Chang'an City, the main roads are either paved with blue bricks or stone slabs. They are cleaned by full-time personnel every day, and there are also health regulations promulgated by the Hussars General early and patrol inspections. Whether it is the daily garbage in the city or the excrement of passing cows and horses, they will be cleaned up in time, otherwise inspection fines will be incurred immediately.

Under such circumstances, the sanitary conditions of Chang'an City were almost at the level of this era, and could even be said to be hundreds of years ahead of the curve. Even in the Middle Ages, Europe was still filthy with feces and urine everywhere. The original purpose of high heels is to prevent your gorgeous dress from accidentally getting stained with something special while shopping.

Especially under the bright summer sun, the clean and tidy Chang'an City is like a polished gem, exuding dazzling light.

The weather is sunny and the white clouds are leisurely. The water canal that runs through the city is like a jade belt, surrounding Chang'an City. Its sparkling light reflects on the faces of the people who come to draw water. There are willows and greenery beside the canal. Under the shade of the trees, there are some stone benches and tables. If it comes in the evening, it is the best place for people to gather and chat.

After learning about the news that General Fei Qian was canonized by angels again, although no specific date has been set for the celebration, the shops and residents on both sides of the street have begun to dress up spontaneously. Those who had some spare money used colorful silk cloth to wrap around the window lintel on the second floor, making it look colorful and gorgeous. As for those who are tighter on money, they also clean the doors, windows and floors of their homes facing the street, and then patch up some of the paint peeling off...

Chang'an Sanfu's wealth was revealed in such an inadvertent way.

Especially in the streets, the soldiers on duty on watchtowers are also brightly dressed. These soldiers who are on duty in Chang'an City actually do not have many soldiers per sentry post. There are at most three or five soldiers per sentry post. The main purpose is to provide timely warnings. The inspection horse team slowly passed by on the long street, which gave the people of Chang'an a lot of sense of security.

Lu Yu sighed as he walked forward.

He suddenly realized that the more he calmed down, the more things he saw.

Take these soldiers on duty as an example. Yecheng also has them, but there are many differences. Even in Xu County, those elite forbidden soldiers in brocade robes, imperial guards and so on who should represent the entire Han Dynasty, maybe In terms of clothing and armor, they can be compared with the current hussars, but their inner spirit is much inferior.

Even when they were on duty, the guards in front of the imperial court looked like idlers, unable to stand or sit, swaying lazily. The guard of honor is too heavy to hold, the flag is wavering, and there are no rules and regulations at all for laughing and joking.

But nowadays, people on both sides of the streets in Chang'an have very calm figures and demeanor. Among them, some patrolmen or soldiers can still see some scars on their faces, hands and bodies, but no one dares to laugh at these scars. These people are obviously veterans of the battle. Not all of them may be tall and strong physically, but their tough and simple expressions are far superior to the soldiers of Jizhou and Yuzhou.

Even if there are no superiors patrolling or cavalry inspecting, these soldiers are still on duty seriously without cutting corners. They stand with swords and bows in hand, and their sharp eyes scan the surroundings. It makes people feel as if they can react to an attack at any time, and this is indeed the case.

When Lu Yu and Zhou Quan and others clashed, when the lurking Sun soldiers showed their swords, the unarmed Lu Yu and Hanmen themselves thought they were going to be doomed this time, but soon they heard the warning gong. Sounds, sharp whistles, and then patrols and soldiers on duty seemed to come from all directions, quickly defeating the counterattack of Jiangdong's spies. Except for a few children from poor families who could not avoid the poisonous hands because of the close distance, the rest Most people, including Lu Yu, were safe and sound...

Lu Yu walked through the long street, passed the square in front of the General's Palace, passed through the front corridor, took a few deep breaths, and arrived in front of the hall with a slightly smug look. Several people in the hall unanimously said Cast some different looks.

Lu Yu glanced at the festival hall slightly, and saw a person sitting at the head of the festival hall, with a resolute and strong appearance, a slight beard on the chin, handsome eyebrows, and an impeccable crown and belt. The shot is extremely sharp, and one look at it tells you that he must be a person with a strong heart and cannot be easily shaken.

Lu Yu knew it must be the Qiusi himself, so he quickly lowered his head and stared at the wood grain on the ground, not daring to look directly at it, and stood aside with hands and hands, waiting for the guard's notification.

Lu Yu has also met many big shots. Perhaps in terms of appearance, the Cavalry Generals may not be considered the top ones, but anyone with a little experience can see that the so-called stern attitude of the other big shots , most of them are pretentious, but the person in front of me is the one who truly comes from the heart and is not visible on the outside...

He had a bad reputation in Shandong, but he expanded his territory in the northern part of the Western Region.

Some people say that he is a traitor who brings chaos to the world, while others say that he helps the country.

If a few years ago, the Hussar sent someone to invite Lu Yu, or offered him some official position to come to Chang'an as the Third Assistant, he might not be willing to come. After all, his father Lu Zhi was in Luoyang back then. What he suffered left a very bad impression on the people of Xiliang.

But now, Lu Yu comes uninvited...

People like Lu Yu actually have a clear sense of right and wrong and cannot tolerate any deceit and intrigue. In this regard, they seem to be similar to Mi Heng, except that Mi Heng is more arrogant and headstrong. It feels like Lu Yu is slightly more stubborn and just does what he thinks is right.

Not long after, the guards shouted their names, and Lu Yu entered the hall.

If the hussar had not made such a great achievement, let alone let Lu Yu come in to see him, if he had not gone out to greet him, and his expression was a little slack, he might be like a self-proclaimed celebrity like Lu Yu, but he would have been furious and felt that he had been insulted. I felt my grievance and walked away, but now, I feel a bit of inexplicable honor to let other people wait for the roll call and pay their respects, and there is no so-called sense of grievance at all.

Lu Yu didn't dare to look around, but he could roughly see two people sitting under the hussar. The person on the left is dark and fat. There is nothing to say. He must be Pang Tong. The other person wears a black robe and leather belt. He wears a Jinxian crown very neatly and has three strands of long beard. Although he is in the hall, he looks a bit out of place. The wind should be Xun You, who has an elegant name. One to the left and one to the right are the powerful members of the Hussar Mansion, with their own dignified demeanor.

To be honest, it would not be a joke to say that General Hussar, well, General Hussar at this moment, is the master of half a big man. Even if Lu Yu had Han Dynasty in his heart, he had to admit this. Ever since a "Xiliang Warrior" like You Feiqian appeared, sweeping across the north and south, and hollowing out the Western Region, the Shandong nobles were almost slapped again and again...

Although Fei Qian did not show any intention to establish a separate establishment at the moment, but instead gave the emperor enough respect, everyone knew clearly that if one day, which emperor in Xu County really faced The unspeakable predicament cannot be said to be worse than that of Dong Zhuo!

Moreover, people with a discerning eye can also see clearly that with Fei Qian's current status, as long as he firmly controls the Third Assistant of Chang'an and continues to accumulate popularity in the world, whether he continues to respect the emperor in the future or supports the establishment of another emperor, this person has already competed with the monarchy. , even more so.

As for going further...

Lu Yu didn't dare to think too much, and didn't want to see such a day.

In Lu Yu's heart, only the emperor Liu can call a big man a big man...

The same is true for another general. If Cao Cao's position was stable, it would directly weaken the emperor's majesty and authority. Cao Cao would never allow people like Fei Qian to continue to develop. The so-called reward given to Fei Qian now is definitely just a temporary measure. Although Fei Qian and Cao Cao seem to be respectful to each other now, they will eventually break up. It just depends on who takes action first and what the timing is.

Therefore, Lu Yu felt that he had this mission to come to Chang'an, for the sake of the emperor and the great Han.

If we miss this opportunity, when Fei Qian really raises the banner of rebellion against the Han Dynasty, everything will be lost...

Fei Qian sat down while waiting for Lu Yu who came up to the hall. After a brief exchange of greetings, Fei Qian looked at Lu Yu and said with a slightly emotional tone: "In the past, I was fortunate to be an official in the same palace as brother Ziqian. I deeply appreciate his learning." He is the sect of Confucianism, he is the model of scholars, and he is the shackles of the country. However, God's will has caused people to leave Luoyang, and they will be separated by the underworld forever, which is really a pity. Now that I can see that Brother Zigan has a successor, it really comforts my heart..."

When Fei Qian said this, he naturally felt old-fashioned, but he couldn't be wrong. After all, Fei Qian was indeed a lieutenant in Luoyang City at that time. It is not a lie to say that he and Lu Zhi were in the same palace. It's just that Lu Zhi could sit in the hall at that time, but Fei might not be able to find a place to stand outside the hall!

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat and he heard the hidden meaning of Fei Qian's words. He raised his hands and replied, "My late father would have been extremely happy if he knew that he was praised by Hussar." When my father was still alive, he often said that the best way to serve the people is kindness, and the next best thing is force. Therefore, if the fire is strong, people will look at it and fear it; if the water is cowardly, people will play with it. Politicians should be lenient to help those who are fierce, and those who are fierce should be lenient. From now on to the third auxiliary, I see that under the hussar, the people are able to be generous and fierce, and the officials are subordinate to the chief minister, Pian'a, serving the people, serving the country wholeheartedly, all industries are prosperous, peaceful and peaceful, and the great Han Dynasty is expected to be rejuvenated. This is because my late father has a spirit, and he is also I am willing to bow down to the hussars and the wind..."

Fei Qian smiled and did not answer Lu Yu.

But Fei Qian's silence does not mean that others have no opinions.

Pang Tong chuckled twice, with a hint of sarcasm undisguised on his fat face.

Xun You coughed slightly and said to Lu Yu: "Nowadays, the outline of the Han Dynasty is often reversed. Of course, it is not for this reason. However, as a citizen of the Han Dynasty and a successor of Confucian classics, it is valuable to know what it is, and even more important to know why it is so. Only knowing Only then can we know why it is so...This is what our lord Hussar taught us, and I share it with Mr. Lu Lang today..."

When Lu Yu heard this, he took a breath and felt a little dazed.

Perhaps Lu Yu may be forced to do something in the future, and his edges will gradually be erased, and he will be complicit in others, but at least for now, Lu Yu still maintains a relatively upright heart. In addition, Fei Qian's words mentioned Lu Zhi, which reminded Lu Yu of Dong Zhuo's chaos in the past. For Lu Yu, he really hated the rebellious ministers like Dong Zhuo who knew nothing about politics and had no regard for people's livelihood. They only disturbed state affairs and bullied the emperor by having strong troops. He couldn't help but burst into anger...

But at the same time, Lu Yu is not a born argumentative person, and he will not argue with others regardless of whether it is right or not. He is the inheritor of the orthodox traditional Han thoughts and the heir of Ma Rong's Confucianism. His father is With his name of Qing spread throughout the world, he naturally demands of himself upright and honest at all times, which is different from many gentry children in Yuzhou and Jizhou.

Otherwise, Lu Yu would not have changed his impression of Fei Qian just because he saw that the lives of the people in Sanfu, Guanzhong, had improved. If he was a purely stubborn person, he would have pretended not to see it even if he saw it. So after Xun You said this, Lu Yu had some feelings in his heart.

Although Lu Yu knew that Xun You and Pang Tong would basically stand on the side of Qiusi, it did not mean that what Xun You said was unreasonable...

At least this is the first time Lu Yu has heard someone say that there is a new level behind knowing the reason!

Similarly, this is also a neither soft nor hard response to what Lu Yu said before, which is very consistent with Xun You's habit.

Lu Yu lowered his head and said, "I would like to be taught." But...can you give me some detailed advice on this..."what is it" and what it is..."

"The main purpose of inviting the Zi family here is to inform the Zi family that the thief who committed the crime the day before yesterday has surrendered. You can rest assured in the future... As for this "why"..." Fei Qian smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes. If he is not in his position, he will not seek his government. If the Lu Zi family is interested in this matter, how about participating in this autumn's trial? Nowadays, don’t be famous for your election. Make cakes with picturesque names and don’t eat them. I wonder what the Zi family thinks? 』

Lu Yu was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "What Hussar said is true." 』

After discovering that Fei Qian's situation here was different from what he had imagined, Lu Yu also had the idea of ​​staying, so he didn't have much objection to Fei Qian's words about taking the exam. Although there is still some slight disappointment, Lu Yu is also confident that he can pass the exam with his own ability.

Fei Qian nodded, and after a few more words of encouragement, someone brought some items to express Lu Yu's shock. Lu Yu naturally refused, but Fei Qian said that these items were not for Lu Yu alone. , but asked Lu Yu to give it to the friend who was injured with Lu Yu that day...

After all, those friends were injured more or less with Lu Yu at that time. Although these casualties cannot be entirely attributed to Lu Yu, Lu Yu may not be suspected of Boren.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and accepted, and also explained that he was only distributing the items on behalf of Huqi, and would not take these things as his own, whether in physical form or in virtual name.

Fei Qian smiled, said nothing more, and asked someone to send Lu Yu out for him.

Seeing Lu Yu's figure disappearing into the corridor, Pang Tong smiled and said, "Nowadays, there are more and more scholars in Shandong, and Lu Zi's family is upright at that time." 』

Fei Qian nodded slightly. Of course he didn't invite Lu Yu just because he had nothing to do. In addition to the so-called condolences, the more important thing was to show his attitude. Taking Lu Yu as the starting point, he showed a gesture of welcoming the children of the Shandong gentry. , and does not use public opinion and reputation as the criterion for selecting talents, but still adheres to the system of talent screening based on examinations.

Xun You on the side also said: "The great talk of Qinglong Temple is upright, and the autumn examination is also at the right time." 』

Fei Qian nodded and said: "If there are people with outstanding talents and learning, they should be selected. One will be used to annotate the economics of Qinglong Temple, and the other will supplement the vacancy of doctoral lecturers in the academy." 』

Pang Tong and Xun You both said so.

This is a chain-linked effect.

Just as the three of them were discussing matters related to Qinglong Temple and the Autumn Examination, soldiers came to report that Wei Yan was back...
