In the eleventh month of winter, Yang Ci died of illness due to overwork.
Obviously, Yang Ci, who had already recovered from his illness, was not in good health. Although he had been adjusted to live longer than in history. However, in order to respond to the call of his student and the emperor of the Han Dynasty to rectify the officialdom, Yang Ci dragged his old and frail
His body was once again devoted to work and he finally sacrificed his life and left this world that he could not bear to look at.
The death of his mentor Yang Ci made Liu Hong very sad. He had always respected this teacher with both political integrity and talent, and his teacher did not live up to his respect. Although his death was not a grand one, he could be called a world-class scholar.
Human role model.
The emperor was clothed in plain clothes and did not come to court for three days. He presented Dongyuanzi with utensils and clothes, three million in money, and five hundred bolts of cloth. This was just Liu Hong's initial reaction when he learned that Yang Ci was driving to the west. It already made people feel Liu Hong's emotions.
Liu Hong was sad for the old man who died of illness. However, this was just the beginning of a series of mourning actions by Liu Hong.
First of all, Liu Hong sent Zuo Zhonglang to posthumously confer Guo Yi Chijie on Yang with the highest honorary title of a minister, "Tejin". This title is awarded to people with special status among the princes. Although they are below the three princes, they are still honored because of their acceptance.
People with this title are all people who have made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so they have a little more status than the three men who can get it with money now.
At the same time, Guo Yi, the envoy on behalf of Liu Hong, also posthumously presented the seal and ribbon of General Yang, who was Sikong. As a civilian and military official, there is no one else except Li Shushi in these days. And Li Shushi is only a fourth-rank official.
The miscellaneous generals can easily be forgotten if they are not remembered carefully. As for the hussar generals, it is probably not easy to forget them.
When it was time for the burial, it was even more lively and could scare Yang Ci back to life - Liu Hong ordered Shi Chijie, the imperial censor under the censor Zhongcheng, to serve as the herald. Lantai Lingshi was also the administrator of Lantai, the National Library of the Han Dynasty (
Ban Gu was once at this location
(Standing on the throne) More than a dozen people sat in chariots driven by Yulin Cavalry warriors and played for the funeral procession. And because Yang Ci was posthumously awarded the title of Hussar General, on the day of the funeral, all the attendants of the Hussar General's Mansion had to
Follow the command of Sikong Mansion.
After some actions, Liu Hong finally felt that he should be worthy of his mentor. But before he had time to dry his tears, winter just entered December, and Liu Hong's other mentor
Liu Kuan also drove Hexi to the west. At the same time, Zhang Ji, a famous scholar who gave lectures to Liu Hong together with Yang Ci and Liu Kuan, was about to run out of fuel.
The Han Dynasty was an era that emphasized filial piety, and the relationship between master and apprentice was sometimes far closer than that between father and son, especially in an impersonal place like the royal family. Liu Hong entered the huge whirlpool of the palace at a young age.
Apart from the few little yellow sects around me, the ones I am closest to and most admired are those of my own.
Either a stern or an elegant master. Liu Hong, who lost his father's love early, pinned all his fantasies about his father on these three old men. And these three old men did not disappoint him too much, although they all
There are some shortcomings, big or small, but they are innocuous and do not prevent them from doing their best for Liu Hong and the great Han Dynasty.
Now, two of the three people have left Liu Hong, and the other one may not be able to survive next winter. Liu Hong feels that the spiritual pillar in his heart that has been supporting him seems to have collapsed overnight.
. He wanted to grab the fluttering debris, but when he caught it in his hands, he saw a deeper loneliness, so lonely that he could not bear it for one more day.
Liu Hong fell.
Although they had been prepared for the untimely death of the Han emperor who had long been drained by wine and sex, when the ministers found out that the Nine-Fifth Emperor had fallen, they found that their previous preparations were so pale.
Powerless.
Although Liu Hong was still quite far away from his death, with his collapse this time, many undercurrents that were originally hidden under the water began to develop towards the surface. At the same time, Liu Hong, who was originally ambitious to rectify the officialdom, also
Because of this series of blows, he became a little depressed, and his grand plans naturally became a thing of the past.
Liu Hong was busy with the funeral, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and others were busy fighting with the Qiang people in the northwest. But what about Li Shushi? What was he doing?
"Deduction, can I call you this? How are you doing in Lishi? Are you still used to it?"
Sitting opposite Li Shushi, the former No. 1 shaman of Xianbei and the assistant minister left to his son by Xianbei co-owner Tan Shihuai, Rilü Deyan, looked indifferent and shook his head, speaking in Chinese that Li Shushi thought was quite good.
said.
"Yes, it is very good here. I can put down my burdens and study and communicate as a pure shaman. Everything here makes me feel extremely curious, and I can also learn from and communicate with the great Confucians of the Han Dynasty.
It has also been my dream all along. I seem to have gone back to the days when I was studying with the Second Deduction. I always think that that time was the beginning of my career.
The most precious and peaceful days in life will be hard to come back in the future. But I never thought that I would feel the same way I did back then. Although my status makes me feel somewhat embarrassed, those Han masters did not look down on us.
These foreigners obviously think that we, like the villagers, are people who need to be educated and can be educated, which makes me very happy."
"So, is there anything you don't feel comfortable with living here?"
"No, it's very good here." Rilu Deyan stared at Li Shushi for a few seconds, and then continued: "Although I have a high status in the tribe, I think you, the prefect, may not know us very well.
The life of the Xianbei people on the grassland. Our sources of food are not rich. Apart from the prey and wild vegetables on the grassland, we only have natural resources.
The livestock raised by the tribe. However, the grassland is so vast but also so desolate. If it is a grassland with rich water resources, it may be because it can attract a lot of prey and the various plants will be much denser. But in most places, water resources are limited after all.
, so prey is difficult to find. At the same time, those wild vegetables are actually for livestock, such as
If we eat too much, our livestock will have much less to eat. If there is none, we can only eat the livestock of the tribe. But for us, this is the worst situation, because those livestock
That's almost all of our belongings - if we don't plunder other kinds of wealth from other places
.We need to exchange these livestock for materials that are very important to the tribe, such as salt, wine, and the latest thing called tea that you Han people brought to the grassland. It is really wonderful than the medical skills of the witch doctors.
The food is also excellent, but you Han people are too greedy, and such high prices are really killing people."
Ritsu Deyan shook his head again, but this time the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a helpless and bitter expression.
"At this time, those livestock are just like the copper coins and cloth you like to use. But just like the cloth will rot, the livestock will also face many problems, diseases, disasters and attacks by various beasts on the grassland. The witch doctors of various tribes
The quantity is so small that even our tribesmen are sometimes too busy to treat them, let alone make those animals healthier. That’s why I said, your tea is really good, it can make our witches healthy.
Doctors have more time to take care of livestock,
It's just that they are too expensive, and the place of production is so far away from us. So I like your school very much, which gives me a lot of inspiration. Although we Xianbei men are obviously good at fighting because of the pressure of life.
There are many more people than people who use their brains, but if we organize them to study, someone will always stand out. In this way, we will have many more apprentices to choose from, instead of spending all the time to find a good apprentice like before.
You also need to have enough luck."
Is this a grievance meeting? Why did you emphasize the issue of tea prices twice?
"Are you planning to take this opportunity to put pressure on me?"
"Don't dare!"
Li Shushi finally realized how wrong it was to beat around the bush with a guy like this who has been in the political whirlpool for a long time. Even if the guy opposite you is from the top of the Xianbei tribe, which is like a barbarian tribe, he looks much younger.
Tong Yuan is so intimidating. But I have to admit that the guy in front of me is really worthy of being the inheritor of the shaman profession, which is hailed as the "incarnation of wisdom" by the grassland people. In Li Shushi's opinion, this guy is definitely a shrinking guy.
There is a comparison between hedgehogs.
"Okay, let's not beat around the bush. The Xianbei people have repeatedly committed crimes. I don't care whether it's due to the pressure of life or their greed. I am a Han and the prefect of the Han Dynasty. I am only responsible for the people under my rule. At most, I can only do so if I have the ability.
Under the circumstances, take care of other Han people
In order to prevent my troops from being eroded by the stable life of their vigilance as soldiers, I want to be free now that Xianbei is in chaos.
Let them go to the grassland to experience
Practice. But as you just said, even you are lamenting the barrenness of the grassland and worrying about food, let alone us, a group of outsiders who have stepped into the grassland. Therefore, I need guides, enough reliable guides.
.Of course, if any Xianbei people are willing
I welcome them to join my army and fight together. If they perform well, they can join my army when they come back. They will be treated the same as other soldiers and have the same promotion opportunities. What do you think? Can you, the great shaman, help me?
Is this busy?"
"The first question is, why didn't you choose those young men from the Tuoba tribe? They should be more inclined to you."
"They are too young and have not yet formed their own values. (Seeing the questioning expression of the daily law deduction, Li Shushi changed his explanation.) That is, their own views on things that cannot be influenced by others. I am worried that they will go deeper.
Grassland will be shaken by other people's thoughts with a few words, and then my team will become very dangerous.
Danger. And I have already experienced this with those Yellow Turban soldiers. Those guys who easily rebelled because of the words of their old master’s subordinates and their families are still hanging on their heads.
On the flagpole at the farming point. But in fact, what I gave them was far more than what their old master could give them."
"Last question, why did the governor choose me?"
p.s. Unfortunately, we used up a few chapters to save the manuscript a few days ago due to mental and physical reasons, so we originally planned to accumulate it again at the speed of squeezing out one chapter in two days, because at the end of July
I plan to go out of town to attend my college roommate’s wedding. Updates will definitely be affected by that time.
.I just never thought that after typing two chapters and saving the manuscript, my body would collapse again. It started from early this morning and lasted until this afternoon. My whole body was almost exhausted. So, the manuscript that we had worked so hard to type collapsed.
He left us with a sigh... It's summer, everyone should pay more attention to food safety, don't be like us.
