Like invisible ripples, after being cast on the cross street, it spread to the surrounding areas.
Xi Lu hurriedly found Zheng Xuan and told the matter.
In the past few days, Zheng Xuan did not go out. He neither responded to the so-called call-up nor expressed his intention to stay in Chang'an.
Of course, this also expresses Zheng Xuan's attitude.
Fei Qian did not move, and the envoys summoned on behalf of the emperor were also not in a hurry. The three parties had a tacit understanding and did not say or do anything on this matter. They remained calm until this notice appeared.
As for Xi Lu, he doesn't dislike Hussar, but equally, he doesn't like Fei Qian either.
Strictly speaking, Xi Liu is not a very principled person. His principles are more based on his own interests. It is also very likely that he will start to change his own interests because his interests in a certain matter have changed.
in principle.
This kind of person is actually very common and common. To put it simply, he is like the kind of person who likes to take advantage. As long as he feels that there is an advantage, he will find various excuses for his taking advantage.
Before, Xi Lu followed Zheng Xuan all the way and worked hard. Perhaps some of it was because of Xi Lu's respect for Zheng Xuan and his service to his master. However, it is undeniable that Xi Lu originally thought that he could eat and drink behind Zheng Xuan...
…
After arriving in Chang'an, Xi Liu was very disappointed. Although Fei Qian was more polite to Zheng Xuan, he treated Zheng Xuan's disciples equally. Xi Liu even had to take an exam if he wanted to hold an official position!
As a result, Xi Lu naturally felt a little uncomfortable. I am a primary school student. Although I have no money, I like this official position. You should mail the official position package with two thousand dan in it. Don't be ignorant...
This is not to say that all "students" will definitely be like this, but for such a person, no matter what the circumstances, his mentality is like a "student". He has money to buy wine, no money to buy books, and no time to eat, drink and have fun.
Spend time studying hard.
Of course, there are some students who have a strong heart when they are very young and are not willing to accept free gifts easily. There are also some people, even when they become adults, they are still students at heart and feel that everything is like compulsory education.
They are all obligations that others should fulfill, and he only needs to enjoy them, and how much he learns depends on his mood.
In the last official examination, because the calculation of the classics was tested, did Xi worry about the calculation of the classics...
So Xi Liu didn't go, and then said that the exam was nothing and he didn't bother to go.
This time for the official assessment, although Fei Qian had already released the first question, Xi considered that he had written a few articles in private and felt that it was just average. If he took the exam, he might not be able to be among the best, and he might even be ruining his own performance.
There was a signboard, so I didn’t go there.
If he didn't go, Xi Lu would still be a good disciple of Zheng Xuan, but if he went, if his poorly written article was leaked, then Xi Lu would become a bad student.
How is this possible?
Xi Liu likes to gain benefits and enjoy the benefits, but at the same time he is afraid of being embarrassed if he fails, so it is best for him to wave his hands and say that he can't do it, and then others forcefully give it to him, and finally he says that he will not do it again and looks at someone's face.
Reluctantly accepting it is the happiest moment for everyone.
Therefore, when Zheng Xuan was summoned by the emperor, the most excited person was not Zheng Xuan, but Xi Liu. Of course, Xi Liu was a little anxious because of this. After all, he might have missed the village, or there might not be this shop.
It's a pity that Zheng Xuan never expressed his position or asked for his opinion, so Xi Liu couldn't find a chance to say it even if he was full of words. Now, taking advantage of the new notice on the cross street, Xi Liu went to visit him again.
Got Zheng Xuan...
"Salesian Office?"
Zheng Xuan repeated it slowly, and then began to ponder.
Xi Lu sat down respectfully. In terms of appearance and behavior, Xi Lu's etiquette standards were first-class.
"Master..." Xi Lu looked at Zheng Xuan who was meditating and said in a low voice, "This hussar... doesn't seem to care whether master stays or goes at all..."
Zheng Xuan glanced at Xi Lu and said, "What do you say?"
"This angel has been here for some time. Even if the hussar is busy..." Xi Liu glanced at Zheng Xuan quickly, then lowered his head and continued, "It should be expressed. How can you ignore it?"
?』
"Oh?" Zheng Xuan asked, "What do you think of the hussar?"
"This..." Xi Lu blinked and said matter-of-factly, "The position of the Emperor is the position of Crown Prince and Tutor. This hussar, even if he does not hold the position of Three Dukes, should have a salary of two thousand dan...
』
Zheng Xuan smiled slightly but did not respond.
However, Xi Liu took Zheng Xuan's performance as acquiescence, and he was somewhat encouraged. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Master has a reputation all over the world. He has read a lot of books. He has not mixed up mysteries. He has written forgedly, circulated notes, and filled in missing chapters. This is
It is the immortality of Chinese studies and the merits that cover the whole world. However... the hussar's position is not known and is not taken seriously. It is left to its own devices, even if Shui Jing is a talented person? But it is nepotism. How can it be compared to the master's vast knowledge...
…』
Zheng Xuan laughed and said: "So...according to your opinion, your talent is better than Sima Zhongda?"
"Ah?" Xi Lu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "My disciple never said that..."
Zheng Xuan still smiled and did not continue to expose Xi Su.
Obviously, under Qiao Qi, Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui were in almost the same position. Then, under Sima Hui, Sima Yi and Sima Fu both entered the official ranks under Fei Qian. However, looking at Zheng Xuan, Xi Li didn't even get anything back.
Of course, if Zhijian Lang, who was under Zheng Xuan, could be considered an official, Xi Lu could not be considered an unofficial one, but after all, he did not have the actual delegation of power like Sima Zhongda.
On the surface, it seems that Zheng Xuan has suffered unfair treatment. Fei Qian prefers Sima Hui and does not pay much attention to Zheng Xuan as a series member, but in fact?
Obviously this is not the case. The talents of Sima Yi and Xi Lu cannot be equated.
It's just that many times, some people don't care what the facts are, they just want an excuse. When they find an excuse, they can safely explain their behavior. Even if they know that this behavior is wrong, they might as well do it.
For example, the banners from Southern Railway can be sent to Shenzhen Railway. Anyway, the subway family is a family, and the boss will not laugh at the second.
Xi Liu also believed that since Sima Hui's disciples and nephews have official positions, and they are very good ones, shouldn't Zheng Xuan, a disciple of Zheng Xuan who is more famous than Sima Hui, also get a good salary?
Official position? Is there anything wrong with this logic? It’s like if you don’t have money to eat, why don’t you watch pirated movies?
Zheng Xuan looked at Xi Xi who seemed a little angry and could not calm down, and sighed slightly.
Zheng Xuan is very old. Compared with the current average life span of a big man, every day he passes seems to be a profit. Of course, this is also because of the Chang'an Baiyi Medical Center, which allows some of his serious diseases to be treated in time.
Extended life span.
Although the Emperor Liu Xie gave him the title of Crown Prince and Tutor, for Zheng Xuan, no matter how great the title was, it was of little use. If he had to travel all the way to Xu County at this age...
"Now this "Salesian Bureau" is the Hussar's reply..."
Zheng Xuan looked at Xi Liu and said slowly, "Hushi built this "Salesian Bureau" to win the hearts of the people. After all, in recent years, there have been disputes in various places, the people have lost their homes, and many young people have lost their parents. This is why
Kind deeds are..."
"Secondly, Husband's move also has some meaning... the so-called "old man without a wife is called a widower; old man without a husband is called a widow; old man without children is called a solitary; young man without a father is said to be an orphan: these four;
The poor people in the world have no one to complain about." Zheng Xuan continued, "In this situation, Qiaoqi only raises orphans, and what else..."
Xi Lu took a breath and looked at Zheng Xuan, his eyes widening.
"The implication of this game is to focus on the young, and only the young can have a future..." Zheng Xuan said with a smile, "This is my answer... So, you can
Do you understand? What’s more... the act of riding a horse has another meaning..."
Xi Lu swallowed his saliva. He obviously didn't think of this.
"Third, you should go back and think about it carefully..." Zheng Xuan did not directly tell Xi Lu the answer, "When you have figured it out, come back to me..."
……╭(╯^╰)╮……
Qilian Mountain grassland.
Beigong felt as if someone wanted to kill him.
This is not a matter with any conclusive evidence, it is just because Beigong felt something and noticed some unfriendly sights.
When the alpha wolf in a wolf pack loses his strong body and cannot guide the wolves to obtain abundant food, the entire wolf pack will gradually begin to become restless. This is a rule on the grassland and a part of life.
In fact, the same is true for Han Chinese society, but because Han Chinese society is a farming system, it is more resistant to some disasters, while the nomadic route is more miserable, and will fluctuate greatly if there is a slight disturbance.
Therefore, Bei Gong found out very helplessly that the situation he faced was getting worse day by day.
At the beginning, these young male wolves just coughed and rubbed in front of Bei Gong, and then turned around and left when Bei Gong glanced at him, but gradually they turned into small movements, gathering together in twos and threes.
, and now they stare at Beigong and sneer from time to time. Even if Beigong turns his gaze, these wolf cubs still dare to stare at Beigong with their chests crossed.
Simple, direct, and crude.
Either lie down or lie down.
This is an almost instinctive reaction that has not changed much even after thousands of years.
It also made Beigong terrified.
He can punish one person, ten people, or even hundreds of people, but he cannot punish everyone, not even mentioning everyone, as long as more than one-half, no, maybe only more than one-third is involved, Beigong
The order of punishment will be questioned, even supported, and cannot be carried out.
Beigong's authority has been challenged. Of course, the safest way is to quickly find the male wolf that threatens the most, and then kill this male wolf in its budding stage before it is ready. For these ordinary Qiang people,
There was no need to pay too much attention to the strange look, because Bei Gong knew that as long as the first male wolf that was about to make a move was killed, the other male wolves would be peaceful for a long time.
As a result, Beigong searched for a long time and found no one with such signs.
Beigong even listed all the Qiang leaders. Five of them were brought by him, two were from the Qilian Mountain pastures, and three were from the other side of the mountain.
The larger number of people are undoubtedly from the local grasslands of Qilian Mountain...
What’s funny is that originally the ones in Qilian Mountain Grassland were supposed to be the weakest, but because they didn’t suffer any losses, they are now the ones with the largest number of people. However, having the largest number of people does not mean that they have the strongest combat effectiveness, because there are still some old and weak ones.
It is obviously lacking in combat effectiveness.
The strongest combatants are Beigong's own tribe and Beigong's younger brother's tribe. The warriors are strong and have relatively good equipment, so if there is a conflict, they will undoubtedly side with them.
Then the only possibility is that it is either the Qiang leader from the Qilian Mountains, or the other few under his command. However, after testing in Beigong, it was found that these people are not similar, because these people just want to go back.
The only request was to return to their original pasture as soon as possible. Even when Beigong tentatively offered to give up his position to the wise, these people were panicked and said they dared not accept it, and even trembled with fear...
This is very troublesome.
However, the vague hostility surrounding them has not diminished, and is even increasing.
When waiting to die, even the wrong decision may be better than no decision at all.
When people face the threat of death, as long as they are not despairing, they always have to struggle to some extent...
Beigong wanted to live, and even wanted to return to Longyou and become the king of the Qiang people again, or a Chanyu, or something similar.
Beigong maintained a majestic expression, even though he knew in his heart that this majesty might not last long. He called his younger brother, watched his younger brother kneeling in front of him and saluted, and carefully watched his younger brother's every move.
, judging his brother's expression and behavior.
Beigong's younger brother lowered his head respectfully, like a docile little daughter-in-law.
"Do you want to kill me?" Beigong suddenly asked.
"Brother!" Beigong's younger brother was startled for a moment, and then excitedly and angrily handed the sword to Beigong, "How could brother have such an idea?! If brother can't trust me, he will kill me now!"
Beigong stared at his younger brother, and then slowly held the sword. After a moment, he smiled, "How could I not trust you... I just feel a little... unsafe recently..."
Beigong pushed the sword back again.
Beigong's younger brother did not use the sword, but frowned and said: "Someone wants to harm my brother? Who could it be? I will kill him now!"
"It's possible for anyone..." Beigong said slowly, "But we can't act rashly... We must find this person to take action... The Qiang people can no longer withstand the consumption again..."
This sentence Bei Gong said was really full of emotion and he spoke it from the bottom of his heart. If it were before, Bei Gong would not be so cautious. He would just send someone to arrest someone who looked wrong. But now, let alone arresting people, it's like
It's like sitting in the crater of a volcano, and you might end up with anal fissures!
Beigong's younger brother also sighed: "Yes, we really can't stand the trouble now... Brother, what should we do now?"
Beigong was silent for a long time, and then said: "I need to hold a gathering of leaders..."
For well-known reasons, these Qiang leaders did not gather around Beigong every day, but were distributed on the grasslands of the entire Qilian Mountains.
"Okay, I'll go and summon them right away..."
Beigong glanced at his brother and nodded. Then when his brother was about to walk out, he suddenly stopped him. He was silent and observed for a long time before saying, "Be careful..."
Beigong's younger brother lowered his head and caressed his chest. After walking out of the camp directly under Beigong, he exhaled on the horse and walked straight north for a while to the nearest tribe.
"Where is Ajiesha?" Beigong's younger brother shouted loudly.
"Hachinar! Why are you here?" After a while, a bearded man walked out of the camp, and hugged Beigong's younger brother Hachinar, laughing at each other.
Then, they walked in very affectionately, arm-in-arm with each other.
After sitting down in the tent, Hachinar slowly put away his smile and whispered: "He found out..."
Ajiesa's smile suddenly disappeared, "What did you say?"
"I said..." Hachinar whispered, "He found out... but he doesn't know who it is yet, so he wants to gather everyone and prepare to take action..."
Ajiesha suddenly couldn't sit still. He stood up and walked around in the tent, "What should we do? The person who went to contact the Han people has not come back yet. What if... what if..."
Hachinar was silent for a long time and said: "There is no other way... we can only take action... If we follow him, we will all die! We will all die! He can only blame others for this!"
"If...the Han people..." Ajiesha frowned and said, "if the Han people are unwilling to call a truce..."
"That also requires him to take responsibility, right?!" Hachinar said, "Although he is my brother, he is also a sinner of the Qiang people! I can't ignore the lives of all Qiang people just because he is my brother!"
He just represents the past. We are still living in the present and have to face the future! Only then can I lead everyone to a better future!"
Ajiesha lowered his head and was silent for a long time. There seemed to be something hovering and shaking in his eyes, and finally slowly disappeared. Then he raised his head, looked at Hachinar and asked: "Then...what do you want?"
How to do it? Do you want to kill him?』
"No! No need to kill him! According to Beigong's wishes, everyone is summoned..." Hachinar lowered his head and said slowly, "This may be the last time that "Beigong" of this generation is summoned... and then in public
Forcing him to go to the Han people to surrender, if he still persists in his stubbornness and does not take the lives and future of us Qiang people into consideration... Then, we will depose him... With him, we will have no future, not at all... From now on
In the future, maybe we won't have "Beigong" anymore, maybe...after all, if we don't go back, our people in Longyou, our wives and sons..."
As Hachinar spoke, his face became more and more gloomy. This was also an important reason why he and Hachinar opposed Beigong to continue to fight against the Han people. Although they survived, they still
There are many tribesmen, even his own wife, children, and children, who are still in Longyou. If a peace agreement cannot be reached with the Han people as soon as possible, then his tribesmen are likely to become prisoners...
If you want to reach a truce agreement with the Han people, Beigong is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
Moreover, no matter what, if the Qiang people were defeated in the previous war, someone must take responsibility and bear the blame. Otherwise, how can the Qiang people gather their strength?
Ajiesha was silent for a while, "Are you sure? If you really do this...it will be very dangerous..."
"This is the only way..." Hachinar lowered his head and said with determination, "For the future of the Qiang people..."
"Okay... for the future of the Qiang people..." Ajiesha took a deep breath, with an inexplicable meaning flashing in his eyes, "Just do what you said..."
