(I recommend to everyone the new book by the great Regan, The Fenghuang, which is a historical fantasy book. Although it has a small number of words, it is produced by the Platinum Master. It must be a high-quality book. You can safely collect and read it.)
People like Wang Ji and Sun Simiao have little respect for power. In fact, only those who have made outstanding achievements in a certain area and have a firm pursuit of the best can achieve this.
Of course, a little luck is indispensable as a seasoning.
At this time, Wang Ji had plenty of time and was not disturbed by external affairs. His own wine book was almost completed, and the interpretation of Lao Zhuang was proceeding smoothly after Sun Simiao joined.
According to the rules, drunkards like Wang Ji who love to drink usually write good poems. Nowadays, his rhythmic poems are indeed widely circulated in Jinyang. Some people praise his poems for being free from vulgarity and for being lofty. Inherit the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and do not let the ancestors focus on the beauty of the past.
This is already a very high compliment, but in fact it is still a little short of it. Wang Ji's poems are actually works that inherit the past and link up the future. From this point on, the poetry of Wei and Jin Dynasties gradually changed its pattern, and the unique and beautiful rhythm of rhythmic poetry began to develop. Appreciated and praised by people, later generations will have a more lively rhythm when they write.
At this time of changing dynasties, the literary world is also undergoing some changes. However, people in Jinyang today are still unable to incorporate Wang Ji of Jinyang into their imagination. Even Wang Ji himself, immersed in the smell of wine and books, Not even the slightest bit aware of this.
It's just that at this time, Wang Ji's status in the literary world of Jin Dynasty became increasingly important, but it is an indisputable fact.
Sun Simiao, who is like a wandering cloud and a wild crane, is another story. He is also writing, but it will take a long time to accumulate. The influence and importance of his writings on future generations are not what Wang Ji believed. within reach.
It's just that he is in a bit of trouble now. The famous doctors in Jinyang are very resistant to this guy who does not ask for consultation fees, but only charges for medicines, and is breaking the rules.
It is estimated that if he had not been able to come and go freely in the General Manager's Mansion, and had not been funded by the General Manager's Mansion, and had good relations with Wang Ji and others, otherwise, he would have been driven out of Jinyang long ago, let alone opening a medical clinic to teach apprentices.
Wang Ji squinted his drunken eyes and told the shopkeeper, "I'll give you two more jars of the Jinyang spring wine I've stored for twenty years. Hum, I know you're reluctant to part with it... Just tell me whatever you want."
The shopkeeper's face was full of embarrassment, but after hearing this, he showed eight teeth and carefully stretched out two fingers. Halfway through, it became three again.
"Three new poems, I also need your calligraphy signature..."
Wang Ji waved his sleeves and grunted: "Don't be too busy taking it out. Wait until they leave before sending it to my house. Hum, if the wine is tainted with murderous intent, it will be difficult to swallow."
This kind of criticism is something that literati always like to do. As for the target, military people are naturally the first to bear the brunt of it. Moreover, Wang Ji is particularly dissatisfied with people who claim to be able to serve as generals or prime ministers.
Xu Shiji over there also drank too much. Zhang Liang tried hard to stop him but didn't stop him. Xu Shiji opened his mouth and responded: "You're just a worm, how dare you come and tell me to wait?"
Fortunately, Sun Simiao was there, and Zhang Liang was there, so they didn't let each other slap each other in the face. Otherwise, if they had drawn their swords and got angry, the drunkard Wang Ji would probably be the loser.
Sun Simiao persuaded his friend repeatedly, and pulled his provocative friend out of the restaurant. The store owner chased him out. While he was accompanying him, he also wanted to ask Sun Simiao for a recipe for making medicinal wine, and the cost was higher than before. A lot more.
But how could Sun Simiao give him medicine and wine to replenish his body, but it still depends on the person? Selling it in a restaurant seemed to Sun Simiao to be a life-threatening act. Sun Simiao, who was very particular about medical ethics, refused without hesitation.
Even though my friends heard that there was a drink, they begged each other, but they didn't agree.
Today, the wine shop was also quite lively. Before Wang Ji and Sun Simiao could leave, another carriage stopped under the wine flags, and then a man emerged from above with his robe sleeves rolled up and his shoulders hunched.
This man looked much older than both Wang Ji and Wang Ji, and his clothes were quite gorgeous. However, this man recognized Wang Ji and Sun Simiao. After taking a look, he turned away his servants and smiled before coming to the two of them and bowing his hands in greeting.
.
The shopkeeper next to him was smiling apologetically. It was obvious that the identity of the visitor was no worse than that of Wang Ji and the other two.
This person's surname is He. Needless to say, he is the son of the He Chou family who lived in Jinyang.
Now Wang Ji was no longer impressive. He Chou was an old minister of the Sui Dynasty. Not only was he a master architect in the Sui Dynasty, he had a high official position, but he also led troops in battles.
Nowadays, people all over the world are counting. Those who are more qualified than He Chou are definitely not as high as him in official titles before. Those who were higher in official titles before are definitely not as qualified as him.
After arriving in Jinyang, he became even more outstanding. Everyone who met him had to call him Mr. He. After that, he recruited more than a hundred disciples. He probably wanted to make a good name all over the world in his later years.
Compared with other people, Wang Ji, a fake hermit, had to put away his arrogance towards the princes and greeted everyone with a smile, but it was no better than his good friend. He was calm and gentle to everyone.
appearance.
After a few simple words, both of them knew that Empress Xiao's birthday was coming soon, and He Chou's son was back in charge of the palace because of He's donation of clothes.
On Empress Xiao's birthday this time, he also took charge of preparing a birthday banquet. Naturally, Jinyang fine wine like Jinyangchun is indispensable.
Wang Ji was still muttering as he climbed into the car unsteadily, "At this time of year, there is still a birthday banquet to attend. I think the He family... is nothing more than that..."
Sun Simiao smiled and pushed him onto the carriageway: "You and I have no intention of becoming officials, so why bother about it?"
From this simple exchange, we can see the difference in temperament between the two. Of course, it also inevitably reveals their political insensitivity.
The son of the He family can run around so freely and is not afraid to tell idle people like them. This can only mean one thing. The general manager's office has agreed. Otherwise, He Chou is not a fool to let the only son around him
He jumped into the pit tightly.
Xu Shiji in the room was telling Zhang Liang bitterly, "One day, I will drink so much in front of Wang Ji's door that the drunkard will not dare to go out and stop him."
Okay, this guy is also confused. Look at this ambition...
Of course, ambitions also have to be divided into time periods. If he was leading the army in Henan, Xu Shiji's ambitions must have been lofty. Now that he is down and out, his expectations for his future have also been reduced a lot.
Zhang Liang was busy making up lessons for Xu Shiji here, and was still thinking in his mind, how could a very smart person become so stupid when he arrived in Jinyang? Needless to say, he was tired.
It's just that Xu Shiji is no stupider than others. After a few words of quarrel with Wang Ji, the drunkard Wang Ji turned around and forgot about it. Xu Shiji didn't take it as a big deal here.
He is now thinking that serving in the army is his only way out. The opportunity given by Zhang Liang is good or bad, and he lacks room for choice.
In fact, what he values is not Yuen Long and Yuan Youwu as a person, but that although Jinyang is good, it is not a place to live for a long time, because Jinyang is still a long way to the south.
And even if that person is ambitious, he should not attach too much importance to Jinyang Fort. Maybe after some time, it will be difficult to move the Jinyang official office.
Of course, it would be best if it could be moved to Chang'an or Luoyang. Even if not, it should be based in Jiangjun.
At this time, when he goes south with the army, there may be many opportunities waiting for him. As for whether he can seize them or not... he must grasp them one by one. Otherwise, how can he have the face to go to the Governor's Mansion to propose marriage?
Well, there are really only a few things that drive men, glory, wealth and beauty. Since ancient times, and even in the future, most men will never be able to escape this category.
……………………
In the back house of the General Manager's Mansion in Jinyang, another protagonist who was about to go south was also drinking. After only a few drinks, his wife ordered him to take it away.
Yuen Long bared his teeth in dissatisfaction. Of course, it could also be caused by the pain on his body and face.
Ashina Yunzhen blinked his blue eyes and couldn't help but giggle again.
She is pregnant now, and her body and face have become rounder. When she smiles, she leans back and forth, her flesh is really attractive.
Yuen Long felt a little moved after seeing it, and moved forward to get closer.
Ashina Yunzhen resolutely pushed his bruised face away, "The doctor said, you won't be allowed to enter my tent these days."
Seeking pleasure failed, Yuen Long got up and walked around on the couch a few times, and said bitterly: "I'm going to the south in a few days, and you can still laugh?"
You are really talking to the wrong person when you say this. He doesn't care at all. He shakes his head and says: "The eagle can always fly farther, and the horse can always run faster. My husband, don't tell me that you have been living in the north for a long time."
It’s been so long that you have forgotten how to fly and run?”
Yuen Long was so frustrated that he sat down, pointed at his face and said: "Look, look, you have become like this just after you came back. If you get in front of my brother..."
Ashina Yunzhen finally restrained her heartless smile. In her mind, her brother-in-law was quite amiable, but her sister really made him very afraid. Well, at this moment, she was even secretly glad in her heart.
, it was his husband who went south, not herself...
Well, this is actually a rather strange couple. Ashina Yun is really not a tigress, but she has one thing in mind: Yuen Long is not allowed to take concubines.
She belongs to the most special kind of women these days. She believes that since God only allows me to have one husband, then my husband can only have one wife.
It is also a strange thing that the Western Turkic King's hearing and seeing has created a woman who can barely be regarded as a feminist.
Yuen Long had troubles with her several times over this, but he was also afraid, because this woman didn't know anything else. When he was anxious, he neither sought death or life to wash away his face with tears, nor showed the toughness of Lucy, the Turkic princess, to fight with him with fists and kicks, but just yelled.
She planned to go to Jinyang to find her sister's husband to make the decision for her, but Yuen Long was helpless.
In fact, the two of them were a teenage couple, and their careless behavior when getting along was similar to that of later generations.
"We have returned to Jinyang, what else can we do? The most we can do is beat you up again..." At this point, Ashina Yunzhen laughed again.
Yuen Long glared at her fiercely, lowered his head sadly, and thought to himself, wasn't it just that he was temporarily dizzy and someone said a few words? Why is it like this?
When he was in the north, he thought about going into battle to kill the enemy and build something that would not be allowed to others. But after leaving the north, he felt very reluctant to leave.
Of course, after talking to his cousin, he became completely honest.
Li Bi did not let him go, but wanted to find a few useful people to accompany him to the south.
At this time, Yuen Long was struggling not only because it was difficult to talk to his brother when he saw him, but also because the psychological gap was a bit big and it was not easy to adjust.
Going to the south with nothing like this is no different from starting from scratch. Well, in a word, Yuen Long is a little afraid of difficulties. Compared with those who work hard in troubled times, Yuen Long is as immature as a child in mentality.
.
It is indeed inappropriate to let him take charge of the important frontier area in the north, so kinship is a bit like a double-edged sword. If you don't do it well, you will hurt yourself.
No matter how the couple discussed it, Xu Shiji and Pei Xu appeared in front of Yuen Long two days later.
Needless to say, Xu Shiji was both civil and military. Henan surrendered generals and had no one to rely on in Jin. In Li Bi's opinion, he was suitable for a use.
As for Pei Xu, a descendant of the Pei family in Hedong, it will be much more convenient to go to Jiangjun to establish a foothold with this person.
Obviously, Li Bi was still worried about this cousin.
When Yuen Long saw two people who were about the same age as him, he didn't feel resentful and instead became happy.
When he was young, his father disciplined him too harshly. What bothered him most as an adult was the nagging of old people in his ears. Pei Xu and Xu Shiji were just the right age, which made Yuen Long breathe a sigh of relief.
Pei Xu is gentle and gentle, and Xu Shiji is not an illiterate and reckless man. He can calmly give Yuen Long advice so that he will no longer be as confused as before.
One of them took over Yuen Long's personal soldiers, and the combination was quite good.
Yuen Long didn't want to stay in Jinyang anymore and immediately set off south.
Li Bi just sent Li Chunlai to see Yuen Long off, and things became more lively now. Yuen Long didn't want to provoke this irritable childhood sweetheart, but the two people in the scene opened their screens like peacocks.
Well, before we set off, there was already a gap between civil and military affairs. Yuen Long looked at these two useless guys and wished he could punch them.
If you marry such a big female insect and bring home, won't you be afraid of being eaten alive by her?
The group of people walked south through the snow, leaving Jinyang in its prosperous season behind. But what they didn't know at this time was that they were just in time for a fierce battle...
(I’m asking for a monthly ticket at the end of the month. It’s updated today. I really can’t make up for it. I’m on a business trip on the 1st. I won’t be back until August 15th. It will definitely be broken in about two weeks, but I don’t know how much it will be broken.

Ah Cao originally wanted to make up for herself in the past few days, but there are a lot of things before the business trip. Please forgive me...) (To be continued.)
