There are various reasons for the water flowing out of the wells. It may be due to the warming of the climate that the Congling icebergs melted and seeped into the ground to raise the groundwater level, causing the water to gush out from the dry wells. Although this is the most scientific explanation, there is no need to say so.
It is one thing to know it yourself, but it is another thing to use it to make an article. Feudal superstition is a tool of the ruler. This tool is used by everyone, so it is not a bad idea for him to borrow it for use.
Moreover, the examination course chaired by Huangfu Weiming, the interviewer of Longyou Dao, is about to approach. The rumor of water coming out of Geng Gongjing may be a bonus. What's more, it is said that if the local government has auspiciousness, the imperial court will regard auspiciousness as the test for local officials.
Reward for academic performance.
The news spread very quickly in Shule City. The governor's palace and the governor's palace respectively sent people to guard the mouth of the well to prevent any accidents. They also tied a bunch of flowers with red silk at the mouth of the well to show the auspicious joy. It is said that this
The auspiciousness of water coming out of a dry well is classified as a great auspiciousness according to the imperial court. Governor Pei Guoliang even expressed his intention to raise funds to build an ancestral hall for this well. People can come to worship during the holidays, and perhaps pray for children and marriage.
What.
It was already dark when Li Siye returned to his house, and Yan Xiaosi was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, presenting a letter with both hands.
"Official document from the Protectorate"
"No, this is a private message from General Gao to you."
He took the envelope and put it into his sleeve, walked straight into the main hall, sat in front of the desk and lit the oil lamp with a fire stick, opened the envelope, took out the paper and read the contents.
Apart from some pleasantries between colleagues, the content on the envelope was more importantly an early warning about the big exam. Gao Xianzhi claimed that Huangfu Weiming was harsh on himself and even harsher on others. This time from Hexi, Beiting, Anxi
The evaluations were conducted along the way, which made all the officials in Longyou feel frightened and uneasy.
Huangfu Weiming had sent six memorials to Chang'an along the way. He evaluated many officials, and even pointed out thirteen officials who should be dismissed in the memorial. His examination criteria were to magnify mistakes and reduce merits, claiming that official positions should be placed in
There, one can make meritorious deeds by just going up there. After squeezing out the remaining water and discovering the mistakes, one should dig deep. With just one dig, one can dig out all the details. I guarantee that even those things you went out to do in the middle of the night can be unearthed.
Even Fu Meng Zhongcheng and Gao Xianzhi were rated as upper-lower and upper-middle respectively by him, while others like Ma Phosphorus, Cheng Qianli and others were only rated middle-lower.
Of course, Gao Xianzhi did not mention these in the letter, but only reminded him to make preparations in advance. When it was time to clean the streets, it was better to have some elderly squires greet him at the city gate, clear out the beggars and other things that affected the appearance of the city, and clean up the military appearance and discipline.
Clean it up and try to present the best side to your superiors. In a word, just cope with the inspection.
Li Siye closed the letter and began to think carefully. It sounded from Gao Xianzhi's tone that this person was very difficult to deal with. Since he was very difficult to deal with, how could he be fooled by ordinary superficial skills? What if the other party openly built a plank road to sneak into Chencang and made a surprise attack?
Then he would have to slap himself.
Besides, what is fake is fake. No matter how hard you try to disguise it, it cannot be real. How can people who do fake punches and match-fixing games escape the eyes of professionals? It is better to let him check it openly.
Of course, some superficial efforts must also be done, such as paving roads with loess, splashing water on streets, etc.
He folded the paper and stuffed it under the pages of Wei Gong's Art of War. He just stood up and picked up the oil lamp. The lady had already walked in with another lamp. The two oil lamps were facing each other. Twelve Niang's side
The face is reflected in the dancing lights, and the outlines on the wall are as vivid and approachable as slender shadow puppets.
She tugged on his sleeve and said, "Li Lang, blow out your lamp. It takes two people to light two lamps. It consumes too much fuel."
"Uh," Li Siye was stunned for a moment. He wanted to do something intimate, so he secretly retracted his claws, nodded and said, "Yes, it consumes too much fuel."
He blocked the shadow of the lamp with his hand and blew it gently to prevent the oil inside from spilling out. The couple stepped out of the threshold side by side, and he held Twelve Niang's shoulders and walked through the corridor. The shadows of each pillar expanded and then became smaller, and the light gradually
Disappeared into the parallel grids of window lattice, and then the thick fog-like night filled in again...
The horse team is marching slowly on the Gobi Desert. There are two carriages in the queue. One of them is filled with books. In the other carriage, a middle-aged man is wearing a purple robe with soft feet tied on his head.
Fu Tou, holding a book in his hand, leaned against the carriage board. The list in the book was "Geographical Chronicles of Shule".
"In the huge Anxi Protectorate, there is no detailed map of the entire area under the jurisdiction of Shule Town. It is really incredible. Fumeng Ling observed these people and only hid behind those few walls, thinking that they had a firm grasp
Those few cities control the entire Qixi, and they are still far behind."
The man who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage and driving was wearing a light crimson robe without a crotch. He pulled the long reins and turned around and said, "Sinong is right, but my subordinates have heard that Qixi is no better than Longyou and Hexi. It is a vast place with a huge population.
The desert stretches across the sky. If you don't follow the trade routes, you will not see anyone for thousands of miles. In some places, not to mention the people, even the birds and animals have become extinct. In such a place, you can have a geographical map and a map indicating the route direction.
The picture is pretty good.”
Huangfu Weiming also served as the Inspector of Schools and Nongqing in the court, and everyone called him Huangfu Sinong. The Tang people's habit of calling court officials was probably to respect the court officials, so the generals in border towns were generally called by the official positions they held concurrently in the court.
.
He habitually raised his eyes, frowned, put down the book in his hand, and said in a slightly cold tone: "Just because the sky is high and the sky is high, these people think that the court's control is not strong enough, so they can slack off, just like
At the end of the day, a powerful crossbow cannot pierce Lu Zhen. This Longyou exam is to tell them that no matter how far this official is from Chang'an, those who violate the rules and regulations will never be spared."
Sitting outside driving the carriage was Wang Sili, Huangfu Weiming's Jiedu Administrative Officer. He calmly put the topic away and started another one: "Now there are only one Shule Town and Khotan Town left. The two towns are
The same person, the deputy military envoy, the escort officer, the lieutenant general, etc. are all visited and inspected by the subordinates. There is no need for you, Si Nong, to do everything personally. You have to go to Shule City specifically, which is both mentally and physically demanding."
"What do you know?" Huangfu Weiming banged his scroll on the carriage and said, "The most important geographical location of Qixi lies in Shule. It borders the Congling Mountains to the south to resist Tibet, and the nine states of Zhaowu to the west to spit fire.
Luo Kingdom is adjacent to Dashi, and to the north is the Tianshan Suiye River, which can be used to control Tuqishi. Once Shule is lost, only the two towns of Qiuci and Yanqi will be left in the so-called Qixi, so the examination of the generals guarding this place must not be dealt with.
.If this is the envoy..."
He stuck the shell, stuck his head out and asked Wang Sili: "What is it called?"
"Li Siye."
"Yes, if Li Siye is a mediocre person who has nothing to do with his body, then he should vacate this position as soon as possible to avoid losing territory and humiliating the country like Gai."
The cavalry in front stopped and must have arrived at a post station. Huangfu Weiming did not get off the car, but said to Wang Sili, who was standing in front of the car and folding his hands: "Go and tell them that the cavalry will rest here for three days, and you and I will be alone."
Change your clothes, choose two horses and go explore the road."
Wang Sili grinned. Although his family's strategy of farming was old-fashioned, it worked well over time. For this exam, they prepared five or six sets of clothes, including business travel clothes, Hu clothes, and clothes for petty officials at all levels. They would first patrol incognito and wait for the test.
After clearing up the details, he summoned the cavalry to reveal his identity and catch the opponent by surprise.
If he met some arrogant officials who didn't know the details, they deserved their misfortune, and they would trample those faces under their feet. This process made him very enthusiastic and doubled his pleasure.
"Here"
Wang Sili went to fetch the baggage diligently. The two of them did not enter the post station, nor did they alert the post commander and other officials. They changed their outer robes directly in the carriage, pretended to be businessmen covered in dust, and each led a camel and headed along the Gobi Desert.
