"Kou Xiang wrote to me?" Han Qing frowned slightly, his eyes full of suspicion.
When he was in the Yongxing Army, he briefly served as Kou Zhun's subordinate. He admired the old man's ability, skill, responsibility and decisiveness.
However, his relationship with Kou Zhun was far less close than that with Ding Wei.
Ding Wei is a man who enjoys great achievements, is narrow-minded, and talks secretly. However, as long as there is political benefit to be gained, no matter how illegal and outrageous his behavior is, Ding Wei will support him, and even take the initiative to put aside his status and "complicit" with him.
As for Kou Zhun, in his heart, he had almost no shortcomings except that he liked to receive gifts. In addition to respecting him, he instinctively kept a distance to prevent himself from doing something inappropriate and being caught by Kou Zhun.
beat.
Therefore, he, who originally didn't like to write letters, had a sharp decline in contact with Kou Zhun after arriving at Jingdong East Road. Only when the New Year was approaching did he politely send a close friend to send him a gift as a sign of respect.
In this era, there were no telephones or Internet available, and there was a lack of correspondence for a long time, so the relationship between them naturally became more and more distant.
"Prime Minister Kou has always admired you very much." As Kou Zhun's right-hand man, Wang Shu also knew that this letter was written too abruptly. He thought about it and added in a low voice, "So this time the government is recruiting old generals to serve the country.
, he specifically recommended you to enter the Kaifeng Prefecture as the Kaifeng Prefecture's Nansi Envoy. He said that with your calmness and resourcefulness and Zhe Wei's loyalty and boldness, given time, you will definitely be able to make the true leader of the three sects of Honglian, Chunyang and Maitreya.
Find him out and prove the punishment."
"Find out the true leader of the three religions?" Han Qing almost forgot that he had not yet been able to completely investigate the cases of Honglian and Chunyang religions, so he immediately blurted out his questioning words, "Is there any clue about Kaifeng Mansion?
"
"We have a little bit, but we need to check carefully. The Maitreya sect Buddhist disciple Ma Qiushi you caught last time, in order to save his life, confessed several important new strongholds established by the Maitreya sect in Hedong. The officials ordered the Crane Control Department to send people there
I rushed over secretly and got several autographed orders from the leader." Wang Shu thought for a while and introduced to Han Qing succinctly.
In this way, it makes sense why Kou Zhun suddenly wrote to Han Qing. After all, the conspiracy of the Red Lotus Sect was first unintentionally exposed by Han Qing. And the Buddhist disciples of the Maitreya Sect were captured by him.
Lu Ziming, the Dharma King of Chunyang Sect, also died indirectly in his hands.
If the imperial court gets more clues about the leader behind the scenes, it would be logical to assign Han Qing to take the lead in thoroughly investigating the case.
However, the premise of all this is that the court has no other plans.
Otherwise, when Han Qing returns to Bianliang, no matter how high his position is, he will still be a piece of cake.
"Jiajun, since Prime Minister Kou treats you with all his heart, you'd better read what he says in his letter first." Old General Han Chonggui reminded him in a low voice beside him because he was worried that Han Qing was eager to settle the grudges with Honglian, Chunyang and Maitreya.
.
"Well, it should be so. Thank you Uncle Hui for helping to bring the letter." Han Qing immediately understood and smiled and handed over to Wang Shu.
When Wang Shu heard this, he immediately took out the fish charm containing Kou Zhun's letter from his arms and gave it to Han Qing with both hands. Intentionally or unintentionally, he exposed the side covered with fire paint to everyone's sight. (Note: Fish Talisman.
, also known as carp talisman. An ancient letter box, usually made of wood and carved into carp, crescent, etc. shapes.)
Han Qing knew that this was a routine behavior for entrusted messengers, and it was intended to show that the letter had not been opened or changed during the journey. He quickly smiled and thanked him again, took the fish charm with both hands, and then bowed to his grandfather to leave.
He took Dou Rong with him and walked quickly into the cabin.
Private soldiers came forward and led the couple to the cabin that Han Chonggui had carefully prepared in advance, and brought them face wash. Han Qing and Dou Rong freshened up a little, then opened the fish charm in front of the window.
, and gently took out Kou Zhun’s letter.
The next choice may be a matter of life and death, and the couple naturally has to make the decision at the same time. Therefore, Han Qing cannot read Kou Zhun's letter alone. He pulled Dou Rong, who was about to avoid it, and sat in front of the window with him to carefully read it.
Read article.
"Jiajun and the virtuous nephew read the letter as if they had met each other. Recently, rumors have spread in the capital, and the theory of reincarnation and calamity is the most noisy. I know that Jiajun's heart is like a jade pot hiding ice, but I am very worried that the three of them will become tigers. My great-mother threw a tree into a tree and specially compiled this book.
Talking to Jiajun..."
Kou Zhun's letter was as straightforward as his usual work. In the first few sentences, he stated his purpose frankly. In addition, he used the allusion of "the great mother threw herself into a tree" to tactfully express his worry about the situation getting out of control.
In ancient times, Zengzi's mother was a virtuous person. She heard rumors three times in a row that her son had committed murder, but she believed them to be true, dropped her weaving shuttle and ran away.
We have heard many rumors that Han Qing is the reincarnated man who has suffered calamities. It is not surprising that those who hear this will do anything based on their own interests.
However, Kou Zhun did not directly tell Han Qing how to solve or deal with the matter as he had done at Yongxing Military Road. Instead, he changed his tone and started talking about completely unrelated matters.
"Rumors are raging, and the theory of reincarnation and calamity is not news. In the past, when King Yan Zheng En was still alive, there were also rumors that he was born for reincarnation and calamity. After I became a Jinshi, I had the honor to worship at the door of King Yan and seek advice for many times.
Yue, I have benefited greatly..."
"Master, Master Kou actually came from the disciples of Master?" Dou Rong just heard Han Qing talk about Zheng Ziming yesterday, and when she saw Kou Zhun mentioning this person again today, Dou Rong couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
"I must have been ordered by Emperor Taizong to seek advice from my master." Han Qing calculated the time and found that when Kou Zhun was the top scholar in high school, Zheng Ziming should have returned to Bianliang, smiling and nodding lightly.
The next content in the letter is Kou Zhun's evaluation of Zheng Ziming's academic performance. According to Kou Zhun, this master was a man of science and mathematics, especially arithmetic. He once said that everything in the world is incalculable. As for astronomy,
He studied geography and calendar very deeply, and an occasional word made Kou Zhun feel enlightened.
However, this master was not very sophisticated in terms of human relations, or in other words, he did not bother to be sophisticated. In this regard, he was far inferior to Han Qing when he had just met Kou Zhun. Therefore, Kou Zhun did not believe what Han Qing was.
A person who has been reincarnated and endured calamities.
"Does this Kou Laoxi want to praise me, or does he want to take the opportunity to hurt me?" Han Qing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he saw this. Some details of his past time with Kou Zhun quickly flashed in front of him.
, vividly remembered.
"Kou was young at that time and spoke regardless of the importance of his words. Once after drinking, he actually asked why his mentor left and came back..." The words in the letter next made Han Qing instinctively widen his eyes, fearing that he would miss any word.
.
This was the biggest confusion in his heart, and he had never been able to figure it out. He originally planned to find an opportunity to secretly ask his mentor Zheng Changfeng, but he didn't expect that Kou Zhun actually knew the answer.
"My teacher said, there is no difference between Zhou and Song Dynasties, as the country is and the people are!" These big words quickly jumped into Han Qing's eyes, causing his body to stiffen again instantly, and his arms to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
"In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly. How vivid was the butterfly, and how vivid was Zhou? Zhou and the butterfly must be related. Hu is in the dream, Hu is outside the dream, it lies in the heart, not external things, the wise nephew thinks so
Really?"
At the end of the letter, Kou Zhun's writing suddenly changed again and he mentioned a famous allusion. The words and sentences were so profound that Dou Rong couldn't understand it at all, so she had to grab Han Qing's sleeve and ask him to explain.
"He said that Zhuangzi dreamed that he was a butterfly. In the dream, he was as free as a butterfly. When he woke up, he was panicked. He didn't know whether he was Zhuang Zhou who dreamed of a butterfly, or whether he was Zhuang Zhou who dreamed of a butterfly, or a butterfly who dreamed of Zhuang Zhou."
Han Qing took a long breath, raised his hand, and gently touched his face, "He also said, whether I am Han Qing or Han Jiajun of the Song Dynasty, or an outsider who has been reincarnated and experienced calamities, depends on what I think in my heart, not what others think.
Tell me, what do you think? This Kou Laoxi is worthy of being a famous figure throughout the ages. He has already said this, so what other choice do I have?"
After he explained the first few sentences, Kou Rong could understand it clearly. After listening to his explanation of the next few sentences, Kou Rong became even more confused. She gently tugged on his sleeves and asked in a low voice, "Why?"
No choice? If you don’t want to serve the Song Dynasty official family, we can leave. Take me, my grandfather, and Xu Ziling with you..."
"Tuk-tuk-tuk..." The cabin door was suddenly knocked gently, interrupting the couple's whispers.
Yang Xu would not be so polite, and Ye Qinglian would not come to disturb him at this time. Han Qing could not guess who was outside, so he hesitated to collect the letter, got up and opened the door in person.
With a "squeak" sound, the wooden hatch was opened, and his grandfather Han Chonggui's face immediately appeared in front of him.
With a bit of uneasiness, the old general walked into the house and immediately lowered his voice and said, "Things are a little troublesome. There is a detail that my grandfather just ignored. The imperial court called me back to serve as the military commander of the Henan camp. As usual, there should be at least
A direct descendant was sent to Bianliang to serve as Hengxing. My grandfather was not blessed, your father and uncle have both died many years ago, and in this generation, you are the only grandson..." (Note: Hengxing is a sinecure of a military general, also known as
Hengban. Mostly used for transit, or to take care of the children and grandchildren of local leading generals left to the imperial court.)
"Grandpa, please don't be embarrassed. I noticed this detail just now." Han Qing was not surprised at all. He helped the old general sit down and comforted him in a low voice, "Also, after my grandson just read Kou Zhun's letter, he also
Decided to accept the order and return to Bianliang to serve as the judge of the South Court."
"Jiajun, I have already achieved great things in my life. You don't need to do any nonsense like military and horse supervision." Unexpectedly, Han Qing was willing to risk his life and return to Bianliang as a hostage for his own sake. The old general was emotional and waved his hand.
Said in a low voice.
"But I really need to go back to Bianliang to completely settle the cases of Honglian, Maitreya and Chunyang." Han Qing picked up the teapot with a smile, poured tea for his grandfather, and lowered his voice.
Sound supplement.
"Didn't you cripple those three cults? If you don't investigate, they won't be able to threaten you anymore." Han Chonggui didn't quite understand his choice and asked with a frown. "You must not do it for me, an old man.
bone……"
"Grandpa, have you ever heard of the rumor that I am the reincarnated man?" Han Qing did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Han Chonggui first, a question that he could not avoid. "Are you just a little bit concerned?
You didn’t even realize that I’m a lot different from before?”
"Bullshit reincarnated and robbed people!" Han Chonggui suddenly became anxious and smacked the table to retort, "I brought you up with a handful of shit and a handful of urine when you were young. I taught you how to practice literature and martial arts step by step. I watched you grow up day by day. You
How could he suddenly become an outsider?"
"But after all, I suddenly learned a lot of things that I didn't know before, and there are also many things that are different from before." Han Qing thought for a while and reminded seriously.
"You are not the first to awaken Su Hui." Han Chonggui glanced at him and curled his lips disdainfully, "You didn't know how to read and write when you were a child. How could you wait until you read a few books and can write a few sentences?
, I can’t treat you as my grandson? What’s the point? Then King Zheng Ziming of Yan behaved even more mysteriously than you. After knowing that his father was the Emperor Shi Chonggui of the Jin Dynasty, didn’t he risk his own life and sneak into the Liao Kingdom thousands of miles away to rescue him? Nope.
After I saw him awakening to Su Hui, I disowned him."
"This..." As if a light was lit in his heart, Han Qing's eyes sparkled in an instant.
"Huh -, since you brought it up on your own initiative, I also have something to ask you?" Han Chonggui suddenly exhaled a long breath, slumped down in his seat, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still recognize me as me now?
Grandfather? There is no need to rush to answer, and there is no need to worry about anything. No matter what you say, I can bear it."
"Grandpa!" Han Qingzhi hugged the old general's shoulders with both hands, calling with red face and eyes.
This was the best answer. In an instant, Han Chonggui was satisfied and responded loudly, "Hey!"
Immediately, he slapped the table with his hand again, "You little brat, you almost scared me just now. That's it. You know that I am your grandfather, and I know that you are still my grandson. As for what others say, what?
Look, it doesn’t matter what he does?!”
"Grandpa!" Han Qingzhi called out in a low voice again with a sore nose.
Everything in his previous life has become a thing of the past. But here, he has a wife, relatives, friends, and a group of brothers who are willing to go through life and death for him.
Is he Han Qing, a hot-blooded young man from the Song Dynasty, or is he an outsider who has been reincarnated and endured calamities? Where is the choice?
At that time, Zheng Ziming was reluctant to let go of the people and the land. It didn't matter the Zhou and Song Dynasties. But how could he let go?
When you are a butterfly, work hard to be a butterfly. When you are a Zhuang Zhou, work hard to be a Zhuang Zhou. In an instant, Han Qing's mind became clear.
"If you insist on going back to Bianliang, just go ahead and don't have too many scruples." Seeing Han Qing's true feelings revealed, Han Guobao felt relieved. After thinking about it, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The imperial court
Since I have been appointed as the general to set up the Henan camp, if someone wants to harm you with the matter of reincarnation and calamity, you must weigh my reaction. Even if, even if the person who wants to harm you is the official himself!"
