"Father, a coach from Hongfan Academy came to visit and wants to see you."
Cui Duo put down the pen in his hand and took the greeting card from his eldest son Cui Yi. At a quick glance, he saw that the handwriting was plain and he wrote ordinary greeting poems. It felt like an official in the government office was trying to deal with the officials.
It means perfunctory and lacks literary talent.
"Zheng Delu?" Cui Duo guessed that the other person was from the Zheng family in Xingyang when he saw his name, so he asked: "Did he say why he came here?"
Cui Duo also studied literature and martial arts under Hongfan Academy when he was young. This is a holy place recognized by contemporary Confucianism and the head of the inheritance of martial arts in the Central Plains. Since the beginning of this dynasty, it has stood in both the court and the world.
Children from aristocratic families with the fifth surname and Qi Wang are mostly proud to attend Hongfan Academy, and those who graduate from it are often talented in both civil and military affairs.
"According to him, there is a batch of recently compiled poems that he wants to ask his father to read." Cui Yiduo said: "Coach Zheng drove here and seemed to have brought many valuable gifts."
Cui Duo was not surprised by this. After changing his clothes, he went to the front hall. He saw a man in Confucian attire, about fifty or sixty years old. He seemed to be stout, but he was sitting in an armchair.
Those people who are mediocre in their writing are expected to be good at martial arts.
"Your Excellency, is this Coach Zheng?" Cui Duo stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute. He had not returned to Hongfan Academy for many years and was not familiar with the person in front of him.
Zheng Delu stood up and returned the greeting: "This is my first visit, and I am deeply confused. Cui Shilang is admired by scholars in Shandong, so Delu should have visited him as soon as possible."
Words like this have been ringing in my ears since Cui Duo returned to his hometown after serving as official official. I just nodded slightly and motioned for him to take a seat.
In this way, it can be said that it is "rescuing disaster and saving time," which is slightly in line with Cui Yi's expectations for himself, but is completely buried in the pile of old memories.
The attendant who was feeding Xin Ou fresh meat asked: "What happened to the Cui family?"
Even if Cui Yi is familiar with military matters, he still thinks those statements are realistic. Since I want to explain the rise and fall of the history book through compilation, the specific circumstances of the war must not be recorded clearly.
I just thought that now that the New Deal is about to be implemented, Cui Duo Academy is rarely divided, and Yin Meishi is sent to deliver gifts and beg for help.
"Bad, bad, bad, bad!" Cui Yi was fascinated by what he saw. For a moment, he opened the scroll. If it was out of etiquette, he would have moved the "Heroes" into the study on the spot.
The reason why Cui Yi did not return to Cui Duo Academy as a young man and simply taught his studies at home was not because he wanted to participate in the strife within the academy.
Cui Shilang continued: "Apart from these, there are not many newly collected poems and essays. Some of them are works by talented people from both cities. I would like to ask Qiang Yujun to take a look."
"It's you who are rude." Cui Shilang looked apologetic and held up his hands.
Although Yinmei Academy is regarded as a holy place for Confucianism and the first sect of martial Confucianism, nearly a hundred years later, since the East China Sea sage heard that the Confucius went boating to the sea, the academy immediately became the leader.
When Afu, Changqing and others came to the Cui family to borrow food, Lord Xiuyu did not participate, but was responsible for monitoring Jingguang Tiannan's movements. Therefore, Cui Yi did not recognize Lord Xiuyu, and thought he was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Breaking in at night.
"How dare you break into a house at night...ah——"
After taking out the secret letter and reading it carefully, Mr. Xiu Yue slapped his calf and stood up suddenly, shouting: "Sure enough! You know that the Cui family has no problem!"
And in my opinion, private history writing can be done in a straightforward manner, so as to correct the mistakes of the king, rather than just singing praises and virtues.
If you want to succeed in this matter, you must have a final word, and it can be enlightening.
Yin Mei does not understand that truth, but I do feel that Xiao Xia has a lot of shortcomings and has not yet reached the point of correcting it. That Yin Mei gave gifts later must have been assigned by someone.
"Coach Zheng said frankly that he is here, I am all ears." Cui Yi wants to beat around the bush with that kind of person, it's really interesting.
"Even if there was no one in the future, it's gone now!" Lord Xiangyu looked around at each of his bow-wielding followers: "They have to understand one thing. If someone like Jingguang Tiannan can wander around in Hebei, there must be no one behind him.
People secretly supported you. When you led thousands of refugees around, you would have starved to death on the way without food. Was it the local aristocratic families in Hebei who provided us with food?"
Yin Mei frowned slightly and noticed something strange: "No one is here."
Frankly speaking, Cui Yi was not indifferent, and I was not even a little bit happy. Cui Duo Academy, which I was trying to avoid, actually came to visit. This shows that my reputation in Hebei and Shandong, Cui Yi, is definitely something that can be ignored. "I heard that Mr. Qiangyu likes to collect the historical records of various families. You recently found a copy of "The Heroes of Mountains and Rivers", which tells the story of the heroes of Hebei vying for supremacy in the late dynasties, until Liu Xuantong was defeated and beheaded. The content is detailed and also
It has solved several unsolved mysteries in the past and will open your eyes."
Cui Shilang brought a wooden box from the side and placed several volumes of books in it: "Unfortunately, the author's identity is not clear, and you have verified it, so I wanted to entrust it to Qiang Yujun for collation. This will not only be a debt to future generations, but also allow predecessors to admire it."
Literary talent and character."
The private compilation of history has always been tabooed by the imperial court, but since Yin Mei returned to his hometown as an official, he knew that it would be difficult to achieve anything in his life to achieve good deeds, so he had to immerse himself in writing and compile history books to achieve great achievements.
The follower understood this and just asked: "Doesn't that have anything to do with Jingguang Tiannan?"
"Thieves?" Hong Fan looked wary. Country manors like ours occasionally have to beware of thieves.
Cui Yi roughly understood why Cui Shilang's handwriting was so "perfunctory". Seeing that his handwriting was like a human being, that guy must be full of profit calculations and didn't care about the knowledge of sages at all.
But while I was still waiting for my action, the embroidered messenger hurriedly arrived and reported to Mr. Xiuyu: "I'm going to find the evidence! Please have my envoy take a look!"
Cui Shilang didn't hesitate: "What Mr. Qiang Yu said is not to belittle yourself. If Shandong scholars want to learn and read poetry and books, the first thing they admire is the collection of annotations compiled by Mr. Qiang Yu. Now if you are willing to report it to the imperial court
, painstakingly state the interests and harms, and implement the new policy temporarily, which is not only what everyone hopes for, but also allows the people to recuperate and recuperate."
They were waiting for Cui Yi to make a decision, but no one came to report: "My envoy, you found several small boxes of property in the front yard!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"You said you have to be slow, otherwise the last arrow will hit the eyeball." Mr. Xiuyu showed a cruel smile, and his amber eyes were frightening.
Lord Xiuyu was extremely excited and handed the secret message to his entourage: "No spy came to report that the Cui family in Anping County colluded with Cui Duo Academy to resist the New Deal!"
At this time, he saw the letter sent by Cui Shilang during the day and these books of "Heroes" were handed to Lord Xiongyu. When Cui Yi saw this, his expression immediately changed, his mind suddenly became clear, and he shouted: "You guys
Are you from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Taking the scroll from Cui Shilang, Yin Mei glanced briefly and found that it even mentioned the specific number of troops and the specific retreat route of several forces in Hebei in the late dynasties, as if the compiler had witnessed the development of the war with his own eyes.
The whole process.
It was already dark, Cui Yi was writing at his desk, and his eldest son Hong Fan was standing beside him holding a lamp. The seven father and son talked from time to time and considered the words.
"It's like that." As soon as Cui Yi finished speaking, she heard someone kicking in the door in the backyard, acting arrogantly and unreasonably.
There was no villager keeping vigil in the Cui family manor. At this time, he heard the noise in the backyard and rushed to check. As a result, he was immediately beaten and the shouts and shouts immediately spread throughout the manor house.
When these words came, Cui Yi knew that she had no words to explain, so she immediately shouted: "That's enough! If you go with them, you will make things difficult for your family!"
Hong Fan covered his ears and took a few steps forward. He was a little shocked. I couldn't see clearly how the arrow left the string and shot out. The sound of breaking wind and the stinging pain in my ears came at the same time, which showed that the opponent's bow skills were superb.
A series of disturbing sounds came into the study. Cui Yi looked bright and walked slowly to the back hall. He saw the dying Zhuang Ding stepping on the feet of Xiu Yujun, holding a bow and arrow, and he was arrogant. There were not many people in the room.
A warrior with a bow, I even heard the sound of tiles below, thinking that there were also manpower deployed on the roof.
"Isn't he Cui Yi? He doesn't have much ability." Mr. Xiu Yu looked up and down, then smiled warmly and said: "Please advise him not to wait too long. If a fight really breaks out, there will be no danger outside his home."
There is no way for my male family members to save their lives."
……
Cui Yi nodded and asked her eldest son Hong Fan to put them away together. Before I could speak, Cui Shilang gestured to several small boxes in the room: "Recently, you purchased a batch of exquisitely crafted seven treasures for the study from Jiangnan, and they were also left for Qiang Yu.
Please enjoy it."
For this reason, Yin Mei collected a lot of official and unofficial histories of Shaoyang. In addition to comparing historical materials, she also hoped to find out the inferior writing style so that the Confucian scholars of the past could pass it on from generation to generation as a classic.
As he was talking, a man screamed and the sound of broken utensils came from the direction of the front yard. Cui Yi knew that his family was being held hostage, so he could only hold back his anger: "What do they want? It must be money, you can give it to me."
Got it!"
"Coach Zheng is really careless." Cui Yi smiled happily: "Look at the old paper of "Heroes of Mountains and Rivers", it seems to have been compiled in recent years. It must be easy for him to find it."
"Coach Zheng, pens, inks, paper and inkstones are used by Confucian scholars like you to establish fame, promote education, and distinguish interests. How can they be used as playthings?" Yin Mei was slightly serious. I suddenly realized that the Yin Mei behind me was too philistine. He looked like Cui Cui.
Tutoring at Tudor Academy.
"I'm trying to hide it from you. You got that "Heroes" and you know it well." Yin Meishi chuckled and said: "The original owner of the history book was greedy for gambling and lost all his family property. All the books and antiques in his collection were divided into good and bad.
Most people are probably confused about not having that book at home."
Cui Yi didn't agree immediately, but Cui Shilang's words touched my heart. I personally don't really want to be reinstated, but the feat of asking for orders for the people will definitely gain me a small amount of fame.
"It's such a pity to have such a good book." Cui Yi echoed.
Cui Yi felt like the world was spinning for a while. I had heard of the evil reputation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for destroying families, and I had experienced it myself in the past. The next time I dealt with it was Afu and Cheng Baqi. Although it was not offensive, it was just about arresting people directly. Cui Yi was originally too concerned about it, but when she heard that Cui Shilang was going to send a history book, she immediately became interested.
"He'll make you think twice." Cui Yi put down the letter. I haven't made up my mind yet. I just want to write an article and need time to contact relatives and friends.
"Oh?" Cui Yi raised his eyebrows, took the letter and read it carelessly. At the same time, he also understood why Cui Duo Academy came to find him.
Just as Cui Yi moved the discarded draft aside, the flame of the oil lamp under the case suddenly exploded, and the flames were moving.
At a post station next to the official road, a bird with crow-green feathers was hovering in the air. Lord Xiuyu whistled and raised his arm to lure it down.
"Block the back front door quickly! Cui family manager, get out of here!"
Yin Meishi smiled bitterly and nodded, and said, "Does Lord Qiangyu know that the imperial court is about to implement a new policy in all realms?"
"But now the situation in Hebei and Shandong, Mr. Qiang Yu should also be aware of it." Cui Shilang said lightly: "This year is also a year of disaster. In order to implement the new policy and ensure sufficient donations, officials from various places must work hard to collect.
The people are just afraid of having to endure that kind of exploitation."
Cui Yi had a look of fear on his face, but he just silently raised his Yuan Yun energy, preparing to seize the right opportunity to attack weakly at close range between the opponent's two arrows.
"I haven't heard of it for a long time."
After thinking about this, Lord Xiuyu immediately led a group of followers and rushed towards the Cui family in Anping County.
I am sure that together with Cui Duo Academy and contacting many relatives and friends, I will be able to make a shocking noise and cleanse the atmosphere of the court.
Seeing this scene, "Coach Zheng" smiled slightly, his face gradually twisted and changed, and he left with a different look.
Cui Yi couldn't help but laugh. How could a family like mine be short of pens, ink, paper and inkstones? What's more, I am a young official, so naturally I am vague about giving gifts. Besides these few small boxes, I am afraid there is also a lot of wealth. p>
Listening to the cries coming from the manor, Yin Mei hid in the tree for a while and observed silently. She saw Yin Mei and his son being tied up together, being led away like animals by the weak king, and they were extremely humiliated.
……
"It's interesting... I'll tie them up!" Lord Xiuyu immediately ordered You Zuo to kidnap Cui Yi and his son away.
After all, Cui Duo Academy is an unusual martial arts sect, and it is possible to compete for a convincing leader through martial arts competition alone. Therefore, it has gradually fallen into a situation where several small aristocratic families are criticizing each other and fighting openly and secretly.
"I am just a country man now, so it is worth mentioning." Cui Yi said: "How can I comment on such trivial matters as the implementation of the New Deal?"
Unexpectedly, the weak king didn't care. The eldest son Hong Fan beside him was anxious and unbearable. Just as he was about to take action, a sharp arrow suddenly shot through the wind, grazing his ear and nailing it to the wall.
Some of the followers showed expressions of sudden realization, and Lord Xiuyu continued: "When Lord Xia Zhang followed this big bastard to the Cui family to borrow food, you felt strange. It was not a drought, so how could those small aristocratic families do this?
Are you so mean-spirited to lend out food obediently? Now it seems that they are taking advantage of the situation and planning to use Jingguang Tiannan to cause trouble from the very beginning!"
"Here comes someone! There is no thief!"
"I can do it all by myself." Although Cui Yi had thoughts, he was blind.
Yin Mei immediately understood how precious the book "Heroes of Mountains and Rivers" was. This was because the late emperors of the later dynasties failed in their small achievements and spent extravagantly. They sent troops to conquer the enemy several times and often claimed millions, so that in the last years of the later dynasties there was a war.
, all forces hate exaggerating the number of their own troops.
Such quick and sharp movements must be an unusual green forest thief. Cui Yi shouted and asked: "Who is he waiting for?"
"Wrong!" Mr. Xiuyu stared straight at Yin Mei, his eyes like arrows: "Now he is suspected of colluding with the rebel party and trying to fight against the new government policy. If the traitor is proven, he will surrender and leave with you!"
At that time, Yin Mei just handed over a letter: "Although Qiang Yujun is worried, Cui Duo Academy will work side by side with you on this matter."
