In Pingyang City, for some unknown reason, the extension and discussion of Yang Biao's "The Honesty of a Gentleman" became more and more lively. Whether it was in the Xuegong bookstore or in the restaurants and tea shops, it seemed that all of Pingyang, and even People around him are all discussing the topic of "gentleman".
This made Fei Qian a little unexpected.
Fei Qian was right in promoting, but he didn't expect how good the effect would be. After the initial guidance, the wave of thoughts that "a gentleman must be ambitious" surged and caused waves all over the sky.
In fact, to create such a phenomenon, it can be said that the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people are all indispensable.
Feiqian came from a later generation and had not experienced the troubled times of the war years. He was only familiar with how to make headlines and how to attract attention. However, he did not necessarily understand how people longed for new ways of thinking and living in troubled times. method……
The imperial power of the Han Dynasty has begun to decline, and the social structure that has lasted for three to four hundred years is about to undergo earth-shaking changes. As the vested interests of the Han Dynasty for so many years, the sons of the gentry, except those who are full of food and fat, are about to undergo earth-shaking changes. Except for people with dementia, those with a little bit of insight and foresight have to start thinking about the future of themselves and their families.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Fei Qian used Yang Biao's topic to bring up the topic of "gentleman's honour". Unintentionally, it was as if he had thrown in a catalyst, which immediately ignited the brainstorming of these people.
Secondly, Fei Qian built the Shoushan Academy here in Pingyang, and whether these students wanted to show off what they had learned or to gain fame, these students who did not have many entertainment projects in the Han Dynasty became this scene The backbone of the topic continues to lead such a gentleman's topic to depth.
In the end, whether it is Yang Biao and others in Pingyang City, or Cai Yong above the academy, or a high-ranking person above the imperial court, or a master in academia, no matter from which aspect, it is caused by these two people How can these people in the Han Dynasty not study and discuss like crazy when they come out with their judgments about gentlemen?
Within this short period of time, Moriyama Academy held another Meirun Temple discussion, which once again pushed the popularity of this topic to a level of enthusiasm that had never been seen in the Bingzhou area for more than ten years. As a result of this matter As an additional effect, the reputation of Moriyama Academy has become surprisingly loud...
This time, the talk about "gentleman's generosity" turned out to be that person named Zhao Shang.
After Fei Qian inquired, he found out that Zhao Shang was actually a disciple of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan. He came to Pingyang from Hanoi. Of course, on the surface, it was for the purpose of learning from each other, promoting each other, and asking Cai Yong for advice. One or two, but is it really so?
But leaving this issue aside for the moment, this Zhao Shang is very powerful. He quotes a lot from other sources. He not only quotes a lot of Confucius' words to explain the "gentleman's righteousness", but also extends it to the idea that all noblemen should use "honoury" as the criterion for their behavior. The way of benevolence...
Under such circumstances, not only Fei Qian, but Yang Biao was also a little confused.
But the problem is that this matter is completely out of the scope of Yang Biao's control. The most important thing is that he is the initiator of this great collision of ideas. Even if he knows that it is not enough for a so-called gentleman to rely only on the so-called generosity and benevolence.
Yes, you must also understand politics and be smart, and you must be ruthless when you need to be ruthless. But how can you talk about such treasonous things in public?
Therefore, whenever someone calls Yang Biao "Hongyi Jun" when asking for a meeting, Yang Biao can only modestly say that he has not done enough...
In such an atmosphere, the news from Chang'an finally reached Yang Biao's ears.
"Good! It's settled!" Yang Biao couldn't help but raise his head and laugh, put his hands behind his back, walked around the hall a few times before suppressing his excitement, and ordered, "Go and ask General Huangfu to come!"
Soon after, Huangfu Song arrived.
"Yizhen, the emperor's edict has passed through Shaanxi and Tianjin and will arrive in a few days!" After meeting, Yang Biao did not say any nonsense and informed Huangfu Song of the news he had found out.
Huangfu Song opened his triangular eyelids that were pulled down, and his face showed some joy, and said: "In this case, I will first congratulate Mr. Yang!"
"Yizhen, it's not the time to congratulate you..." Although Yang Biao was happy, he still needed to make corresponding arrangements and arrangements, "Where are the soldiers and generals, how are they doing now?"
"There are not many generals in Pingyang..." When talking about this issue, Huangfu Song didn't know whether to express happiness or helplessness, "...there is only one captain named Zhao, who is stationed in the school outside the city and is not allowed to see him.
...Pingyang City was newly established and there was no county captain position. The guards at the four gates were all retired soldiers and were led by four teams..."
Originally, Yang Biao and Huangfu Song thought that they could meet some of Fei Qian's subordinate generals in Pingyang. However, after getting here and searching around, they discovered that most of the generals in Pingyang except Captain Zhao who was training every day.
Fei Qian's subordinate generals are either in Yinshan, Diaoyin, or Shangdang, but there are no other generals near Pingyang!
Of course, there are pros and cons to this matter. The good thing is that once Fei Qian surrenders his military power to Pingyang, it means that Pingyang will be owned by Yang Biao and Huangfu Song. The bad thing is that if Fei Qian's troops are exhausted, Huangfu Song will
You have to run around to achieve perfection.
"..." Yang Biao frowned. Doesn't this mean that Huangfu Song hasn't accomplished anything in this period of time?
Huangfu Song continued: "... However, a certain person has already contacted Gao Nu Huchuquan. He will lead two thousand horses and arrive in a moment to help Yang Gong... If at that time... you dare to refuse the edict, you will be called outside.
Chuquan intercepted the new recruits in the school grounds, and led eight hundred elite soldiers to attack. They will definitely be captured..."
This is what it looks like.
Yang Biao nodded slowly and said: "The emperor's edict is no small matter... It should be so, but we must take precautions... A certain person has written to Wang Hedong, asking him to lead troops in the name of He Xi... How much should it be?
There are two to three thousand county soldiers..."
Huangfu Song raised his eyebrows, his face couldn't help but look a little more happy, and said: "...That's it, that's all..."
Yang Biao nodded, then called a personal guard, and ordered: "You go to the door of the mansion and declare... I am feeling cold and unwell, so it is inconvenient to see guests... I will not see guests again after a few days."
…”
The personal guard took the order and left, but Yang Biao stood up and said to Huangfu Song: "... How can I tie up someone's hands and feet with just a small plan? Let me change my clothes, follow Yizhen out of the city, and steal half a day.
How about free time?"
Huangfu Song put his palms in his hands and laughed, saying: "I wish you all!" Huangfu Song was also smart, and he didn't need to say much to understand that Yang Biao's move was to prevent Fei Qiangou from jumping over the wall, taking Yang Biao as a hostage, and taking the first step to avoid it.
Go outside the city, and when the emperor's edict arrives, it will be a foregone conclusion. By then, it will be difficult for Fei Qian to turn over!
