Wuguan.
Mountain road.
Zhuge Jin stood at the pavilion next to the road and looked into the distance.
The mountains are full of mountains and the bleakness of autumn and winter make the surroundings feel inexplicably solemn.
The high and low mountains and valleys are like dividing the earth into pieces. The world is like a chess game, traversing between mountains and seas.
Although the duties given by the General of the Cavalry seemed very relaxed, Zhuge Jin did not dare to relax at all.
The General of the Cavalry was setting up a large chess game, while Zhuge Jin was a piece that crisscrossed the chess game of heaven and earth.
Pang Shanmin was another chess piece.
After leaving Wuguan, Liu Bang was able to enter the mountain road in Guanzhong.
It's rugged and difficult to move.
Xiang Yu was different from Liu Bang. He had many soldiers and could not be separated, so he could not get away from Wu Pass. Xiang Yu had some people, but it was difficult to use them. He ran away from Han Xin and angered Fan Zeng to death. Liu Bang could use people, or even use them, and entrust his life. There are many factors, but Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's different backgrounds may determine all this.
Wuguan Road connects to Jingzhou.
Jingzhou is considered to be the south of the Han Dynasty.
After all, in this era, Nanyue was a mountain barbarian.
Jingzhou is a good place, and Zhuge Jin has been there. The land is fertile, the fields are crisscrossing, flowers and trees are gradually growing, and the streams flow smoothly, quietly heading east and south until they finally merge into the famous zodiac and then into the river.
Jingzhou is like an excessive amount between mountains and waters, and Xiangyang is between mountains and waters. Liu Jingsheng was even more famous in the world at that time, and the 100,000 armors made both Yuan Shu and Cao Cao a little careful.
However, Liu Jingsheng is like Xiang Yu.
Xiangyang’s Xiongcheng, sandwiched between mountains and rivers, passes through the north and south roads. Although the terrain is not dangerous, it is in an extremely critical transportation road.
However, such a city was finally easily abandoned.
It was shortly after Liu Jingsheng's death.
Zhuge Jin sighed slightly.
This is the heroes in the world, and this is the same as the white hair on earth.
What are the clans?
Scholar, why are you?
Can Liu Biao be called a clan? Can Liu Cong be called a son of man?
The high-ranking families in Nanyang, Jizhou, Yuzhou and other families have thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless wealth. What can truly make these families last for a long time is the importance of education.
These families focus on education and inheritance, and have been in the past three or four hundred years of heritage and glory. I don’t know how many famous scholars have been produced. Not to mention how many officials of the Han Dynasty are, the three dukes, nine ministers, prefects, etc., they are all these people, and they can only be these people.
So, it was corrupted.
Just like Liu Biao and Liu Cong.
"All of them are gone."
Zhuge Jin recalled his days in Jingzhou and couldn't help but feel like he was a different world. Now he and the children of the gentry in Jingzhou have long been from different worlds, so he is naturally qualified to feel this way.
Because when Zhuge Jin was in Jingzhou, he felt that the geniuses of Jingzhou were arrogant, so he thought that Jingzhou was not a good place, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at that time, but he just felt that something was bad, until he arrived in Chang'an.
Then Zhuge Jin found something that was lacking in Jingzhou, Liu Biao had never had, and Liu Cong lost...
Things are a very interesting word.
It not only refers to the direction, but also to people and objects.
It can have a real shape, it can be just a false state, or even a small interest between men and women.
It's like Qinglong Temple.
Qinglong Temple can be a location, a synonym, or a word that Zheng Xuan and others said, or the connotation that the General of the Cavalry wanted to promote...
Xiang Yu was unable to return because he looked forward and hesitated. However, Liu Bang took light clothes and took a different approach, and knew people and made good use of them.
Therefore, Xiang Yu was defeated and Liu Bang won.
Then what about the current Baihu Temple and Qinglong Temple?
The mist of the mountain blew, took Zhuge Jin's Lun Treasure, and then shook the treetops and shrubs in the mountains, hehehe, brush, swish...
"Zhuge is engaged! They are here!"
The follower who was responsible for watching from afar shouted loudly.
…(^o^)/…
Mount Li.
The atmosphere inside the observatory, which has not appeared for a long time, seems a little depressing.
These young students who were supposed to be busy with calculations and observations now sit in the table or lean against the wall, with a slight uneasiness and worry on their faces.
Even a little frightened.
Inexplicable fear.
Not all the students in the observatory are children of the gentry's surname. Some are, but more are ordinary people with relatively low origins. Some are brought by Xu Yue, some are invited by Xu Yue later, and some are children who are proficient in the calculation of scriptures recruited by Fei Qiang in the Sanfu Hedong area of ​​Guanzhong in recent years.
Analyzing scriptures is like the son of scriptures. So those who study scriptures look at those who specialize in arithmetics look like Lao Tzu looks at their son. As for those who are more professional in arithmetics, they are like grandsons.
Therefore, having such an observatory can make these students who have no interest in scriptures and only like mathematics and jurisprudences show their skills. They don’t have to smile and write scriptures. Then they have to approve a lot of writings every day and have to welcome the hard life of a civil servant who is sent to the public. This is already a very difficult thing.
These students also knew very well that they could have good conditions and treatment on the observatory because of Xu Yue's relationship with Fei Qian, the general of the Cavalry. As long as Xu Yue was there, no matter the ordinary minor officials in Chang'an City, or the so-called geniuses who passed on the scriptures, they would not dare to bully them.
Now, they are in great trouble.
Xu Yue is sick.
The people from Chang'an Hundred Clinic came and then shook their heads and left.
It’s not that Xu Yue’s medicine stone is difficult to save, but people from the hundreds of clinics say that this is a heart disease and has nothing to do with the medicine stone. If the heart disease is gone, it will be cured without medicine, and if the heart disease is difficult to cure...
The doctor at the Hundred Clinic prescription for warmth and then left with a sigh.
The students at the observatory were a little frightened. Two or three people stared at Xu Yue's apprentices sitting in front of the hall, and couldn't help but show some resentment, thinking that it was probably you guys who had something to do, which made everyone Xu have a heartache!
If Xu and others had a short time, life would be difficult for this star-watching platform!
Suddenly there was some movement at the foot of the mountain, and after a moment, Kan Ze rushed up from the mountain road. After entering the observatory, his breath did not even fit evenly. He asked where Xu Yue was and his physical condition.
Kan Ze was originally a disciple who studied with Xu Yue earlier, and Xu Yue also vaguely regarded Kan Ze as his successor. Therefore, when Kan Ze came, everyone in the observatory seemed to have found the core and came forward to greet him, but Kan Ze was not in the mood to greet him. He probably bowed in a circle and entered Xu Yue's courtyard.
After a while, Kan Ze retreated helplessly, then stood outside the yard and was silent for a while, then turned to ask the student next to him, "What was Master doing before he was not sick?"
Here in Mount Li, Xu Yue is like a mainstay, just like the master, and Kan Ze is his closest disciple, so the students on the side dare not neglect. They hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Everyone Xu was preparing to watch the stars and determine the moon..."
"Stars and moon-game..." Kan Ze murmured and frowned.
Observing celestial bodies is something that almost everyone on the observatory will do. And there was no major pollution in the Han Dynasty, and the atmosphere mass was much better than later generations. You can see a large number of stars on clear nights, which is magnificent and dazzling that people in later generations cannot imagine.
Attracted by such stars, the imagination of the distant sky has become a person like Liu Hong, Xu Yue, and Kan Ze. The observation, calculation, estimate and verification of generation after generation has been achieved. Especially Xu Yue, he insisted on observing day after day, devoted himself to studying it year after year, and carefully calculated the calendar of the dark, the strings, the sun and the moon, and the eclipse of the sun and the moon, so that the Qianxiang Calendar appeared.
And how can this make Xu Yue sick, or have heart disease?
Kan Ze recalled the situation when he entered the yard to visit Xu Yue, and always felt something was wrong, because even if he was really sick, Xu Yue would definitely be able to say a few words when he saw Kan Ze coming, but at that moment, Xu Yue obviously did not fall into a coma, but when he saw Kan Ze, he did not react at all, just like...
Lost your soul and despair.
"First follow the matters ordered by Master before, and then disperse them. What should be recorded will be recorded. What to calculate is to calculate, and there is no need to wait around here..." Kan Ze looked at the students who were worried and unwilling to do things around Xu Yue's courtyard and ordered directly, "Everyone will do things! If Master gets done in two days, what should I do if I ask you all the things I have missing?"
Seeing Kan Ze speak, the students around him think about it, and they all retreated with some worries.
Kan Ze then entered Xu Yue's courtyard again, and he wanted to find out the "truth".
Kan Ze knew that Xu Yue had the habit of remembering things, or diary.
This habit is mostly for astronomers. They will record some relevant information after observation to facilitate their own calculations.
Because Kan Ze is Xu Yue's true disciple and a real senior official under the General of the Cavalry, no one dared to stop him when he went to look through Xu Yue's diary...
Looking through the records, Kan Ze's face gradually became pale.
…('　へ)…
Zheng Xuan is a figure who is at the peak of literature and a master of scholars and masters at the moment.
But there are only a few left.
Strictly speaking, Mr. Shui Jing is not very master level, but Mr. Shui Jing’s interpersonal relationship is at the master level…
The only one who can compete with Zheng Xuan is Cai Yan, the descendant of Cai Yong, and the other one is Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong of Jingzhou.
Cai Yan is a weak-hearted person. Although she is full of talent, she doesn't like to argue with others. Most of the time she is "you are right". It's better to read two more books if you have time to argue...
So it can only be Pang Shanmin, and only Pang Shanmin.
Like Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong was a slightly "rebellious" Confucian scholar.
Therefore, Pang Shanmin also inherited some of Pang Degong's "rebellion", wearing a shabby robe, and even had no sachets or jade pendants representing the "gentleman" on his body. He was like a poor scholar, and he didn't look like a prefect at all.
If it weren't for the accompanying official guards who indicated their identities, who would have known that the person wearing old robes was Pang Shanmin and the prefect of Wancheng?
Pang Shanmin dressed very ordinary, but he spoke very unusually, which scared Zhuge Jin as soon as he opened his mouth.
"The cavalry is wrong."
"Ha?(*Д*)!" Zhuge Jin's eyes widened.
"Mr. Zheng is well-read and has a great knowledge of his studies. There is no doubt about this. However, if we talk about the way of governing the country, can we govern the country by just being good at academic research? The General of the Cavalry did a good job before, but why did he forget this when he arrived at Qinglong Temple? Although the management of academics and governing the country are both "governance", there are many differences."
Pang Shanmin smiled, "This is what my father said."
Zhuge Jin took a breath, "Oh..."
"But I think so too." Pang Shanmin said again.
"Ha?!" Zhuge Jin's heart, which had just been relieved, was raised again.
"Well, it seems that none of you dared to give advice?" Pang Shanmin made three straight balls.
Zhuge Jin's sweat was shed, "This is indeed not. It's Jin's fault."
Pang Shanmin did not continue to ask this question. While walking with Zhuge into Wuguan, he changed the topic calmly and naturally, perfectly showing the demeanor and grace of a scholar. He did not continue to ask about Qinglong Temple related matters, but talked about some old things in Jingzhou with Zhuge Jin, and also asked about some recent situations of Huang Chengyan and Pang Tong.
After passing Wuguan and entering Guanzhong, Pang Shanmin stopped talking, but focused on the situation in Guanzhong, villages, roads, bridges, and everything around him. He looked at it very carefully, so careful that even Zhuge Jin couldn't bear to disturb him.
…(*^__^*)…
The hustle and bustle of Qinglong Temple did not affect the Sima Manor outside Chang'an City.
Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui has been slightly ill these days and has not gone to Qinglong Temple.
This is normal.
After all, Sima Hui is not young anymore. Although he may not have serious illnesses, it is not normal for him to have minor illnesses to be dealt with?
Even Sima Yi took leave and returned to the manor to take care of Sima Hui.
Now, Sima Hui is wearing a cloak, lit a few candles, and is watching something with a lamp.
These are the news related to Qinglong Temple.
When walking with each other, you are enemies.
After walking together for a long time, it will be a thousand-year-old enemy.
Even if I smile, I feel a little numb in my heart.
It's like Sima Hui and Zheng Xuan. Although Sima Hui is good at everything now, she smiles like she can wear a pair of pants with Zheng Xuan, um, a robe, but in fact, Sima Hui hopes that the seat under Zheng Xuan's butt will be his turn to sit.
Sima Yi walked in, holding a basin of hot water in his hand, then put it down in front of Sima Hui, twisted out a hot towel and handed it to Sima Hui, "Uncle, let's take a rest, I've been watching for an hour..."
These things can be done by the attendant, but Sima Yi did not.
It is not to show one's filial piety, but to let too many people know about some things.
Sima Hui put down the record in his hand, took the towel that Sima Yi had burned with his own hands, then raised his head and covered the hot towel on his face, then remained silent without saying a word, waiting for the hot steam from the towel to seep into his tired pores.
Sima Hui is also old, and when he gets old, his eyes are blurred and it is even more difficult to see things. Therefore, he needs to use hot compresses from time to time to boost his spirit and soothe his eyes.
Sima Yi sat slowly aside, waiting silently without a trace of dissatisfaction.
Mr. Shui Jing became more popular and began to carefully scrub his old face. The still warm towel was wiped by, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.
"call……"
Sima Hui slowly let out a long sigh.
"I got the news, Mr. Pang's son is here..." Sima Yi said slowly.
Sima Hui nodded, "So, the cavalry is still guarding..."
Sima Yi was silent.
『Why?』 Sima Hui said slowly, 『I would rather seek Pang than look for us?』
『…』 Sima Yi whispered, 『The attitude of the cavalry has always been impartial... Therefore...』
"What's the impartiality? Are they all Jing Xiang?" Mr. Shui Jing said with dissatisfaction, "I won't give you a chance..."
Sima Yi glanced at Sima Hui, "Uncle, this is probably not because we didn't give it to you, but because we didn't take the initiative to go there before?"
Sima Hui was stunned and then fell silent.
Although Sima Hui did not take the initiative to cause trouble for Zheng Xuan, he definitely did not help him when he saw Zheng Xuan in trouble. At most, he would do it on the surface, and the rest of the matter was basically a fight.
Therefore, Sima Yi's words hit the nail on the head.
"Uncle, a few days ago, a Translation Xuan was established in Baling County..." Sima Yi said.
Sima Hui nodded, "I know this."
"Yesterday, Zhuanyixuan delivered a survey... Well, that is, the purpose of the investigation and discussion, and sent it to the Senate Law Court... for discussion by the Senate Law Court..."
Sima Hui turned his head and said, "What did you say?"
Sima Yi said: "The generalization of the countries in the Western Regions..."
Sima Hui couldn't help but frown.
『And...it is said that the next Qinglong Temple Grand Theory will discuss the four directions of China…』 Sima Yi continued.
"I haven't been out in the past few days, why have I had so many things in my life? China Sifang?" Mr. Shui Jing couldn't help but open his eyes widened, "What does this "Sifang" mean?"
『North to the northern desert, extreme cold, south to the southern Vietnam, place of insects, east to the East China Sea, place of fairy mountains, west to the Western Regions, and the country of Hufan!』
Sima Hui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then couldn't help but sigh: "This...I underestimated the cavalry..."
The two were silent for a long time again.
So the hot water in the copper basin gradually disappeared.
"The cavalry, it's still the cavalry..." Sima Hui sighed softly, "The name I gave him is nothing wrong... Okay, let's take a break earlier, tomorrow... I'll go to Qinglong Temple tomorrow!"
Chapter completed!
