Chapter 159: Magnificent Waves Under Calm (15)
Wang Qinian nodded with satisfaction, read the letter from beginning to end, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, the letter was well written, but it seemed to be ...... Probably...... Maybe it doesn't match Lin Wan'er's character.
Tearing up the brilliant letter, Wang Qinian sighed, shook his head, continued to study the ink, stared at the candle flame in a daze, and finally made up his mind, picked up the pen, and put the pen down.
Classmate Zhiyuan, seeing your letter, this girl is very happy, haha, thinking that there is someone in Lanzhou who misses herself, her heart will always be sweet. However, your letter was too thick and I had to work hard to open it. I heard that you have been studying very hard lately, which is good, this is very bad, you can't work too hard to learn this thing, otherwise it will be bad for you to be tired, don't see you in the capital, and find that you are as thin as a monkey. The champion of civil and military affairs is a technical job, and there has not been one since ancient times, so don't force it too much, just let it be. It's not bad to have an eye for an example or something. As the saying goes, if you have something, you will get something, but there is also an old saying that you can get it by letting it go. Haha, the first sentence was said by the ancients, and the latter sentence was made up by me, but I think what I said is very reasonable, and I hope you can listen to it.
After writing another letter, Wang Qinian finally nodded with satisfaction, and wrote the letter in Lin Wan'er's tone, it must be casual and natural, one sentence in the east, one sentence in the west, not too straightforward, one stroke at a time, and the font must be miserable, horizontal and vertical.
The talented girl Lin Wan'er is unparalleled, but she really doesn't dare to compliment the words she writes.
In order to show the authenticity of the letter, Mr. Wang also deliberately dropped a large drop of ink on the blank space of the letter paper. A turtle was drawn.
This is Lin Wan'er's habit, she once wrote back to the Lin family in Shangjing City, and she happened to be a guest at the Lin family. I've also seen one, and the last place to sign is a turtle.
Lin Renzhong laughed dryly and explained: "Eldest sister's habits, hehe." ā
After folding the letter, putting it in an envelope, and putting it together with the fine hosta, Wang Qinian seemed to have completed an extremely important thing. A long sigh of relief.
"Knock knock", three gentle knocks on the door sounded, very regular. Needless to say, it must be the Yuzhou assassin next door.
Wang Qinian tidied up his shirt and gently opened the door, and the adult was holding a pot of wine and a small half bag of peanuts in his hand: "Hey." Tonight, the imperial court ordered that hundreds of officials were not allowed to leave the inn. It's a pity that such a big full moon, you and I have a drink? ā
couldn't help but shake his head slightly, Wang Qinian introduced the other party into the room, this adult said to drink every time, but in the end it was completely a cow drink, and he didn't talk nonsense, he just loved to burp, and the whole room was filled with a different taste. It's intoxicating and broken to think about.
Master Thorn has a title of "Wine Burp Thorn History" in Yuzhou. and Wang Qinian's "swear words know the state" coincide and echo each other.
Put peanuts on the table, the two sat opposite each other, poured sake, pinched a peanut into the mouth, and then took a sip of wine, the entrance was soft, a line of throat, squinting and intoxicated, how a beautiful word.
The two have always talked freely, from customs to official affairs.
One is from Lanzhou, where commerce is more developed, and the other is from Yuzhou, where agriculture is prosperous, and there will be political opinions at first, but in the end, the two actually feel that they have the same goal, agriculture is the foundation, and commerce is the way to get rich.
In addition, the two also discussed the topic of the "pair" of the Great Wei State today.
The "pair" here refers to a wide range of people, such as the king of Xiliang and the general, Lin Wan'er and Chen Nuonuo, the king of Xiliang and the king of Jing'an, Zhao Qian and Xu Yunfeng, Xiliang and the Zhenbei army, the Xiongnu and Xihu.
is not like the Beijing official, blindly slandering Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, and can't wait to cramp and peel his skin, the two of them admire the king of Far Western Liang from the bottom of their hearts, pacify the Central Plains, and set the world, the contribution made by this prince is definitely not what is written in today's history books.
The compilation of the "History of the Great Wei Kingdom" by the Ministry of Rites intentionally or unintentionally downplayed Xu Xiao's great achievements, over-highlighted the "Xiangfan Dead City" and "Xu Xiao Chongguan was angry and became a red face", and the reason was written ambiguously, between the clouds and mist, hazy, and unclear - Xiangfan Iron City, unable to attack for a long time, the soldiers were about to lose, and the King of Liang was furious, shirtless, wearing armor and holding a gun. Under Xiangfan, King Liang slaughtered the whole city to vent his personal anger, blood flowed all over the ground, and the sky and earth were scarlet. -- The capital was in turmoil, King Liang went crazy, led 100,000 elite soldiers, went out of the city to find the princess, failed, imprisoned himself in the room, drank and got drunk, did not ask the world, caused ten dead soldiers to attack the palace, the Huns went south, and fell into the Central Plains in danger. -- Xiliang raised more than 100,000 troops, grabbed the Hetao, and endangered Beijing. Hundreds of officials in the court, concerned about the society, asked King Liang "ten questions", King Liang was arrogant, replied with foul language, insulted hundreds of officials, scolded the court, and hundreds of officials were open-minded and endured. -- The king of Liang is sealed in the three states of Xiliang, arrogant and lascivious, building a large number of buildings, the palace is built around the mountain, the pavilions and pavilions are rugged and spreading, the dogs and teeth are staggered, and its momentum is especially better than that of the Afang Palace.
Whenever he reads this kind of passage, Wang Qinian always can't help but scold the Ministry of Rites in his heart: "The turtle son's." ā
Why don't you write about the brilliant achievements of the King of Xiliang, why don't you write about beating Xihu all over the ground to find teeth, why don't you write about Sima Qi leading his troops to attack the Huns, Weishui Alliance, King Liang stands with a sword, and why doesn't he write about the King of the Huns?
As for the general Xiahou Xiangyang, the two of them were even more convinced and admired from the bottom of their hearts. The talent of the great general is well known to the world. Now the general is in the Zhenbei Army, the Zhenbei Army is well organized, and the Hun rebels have been defeated. Even if he stays in Shangjing and commands three provinces and six departments, the general can also strategize, no worse than the current prime minister Pan Chunwei.
Talking about Lin Wan'er and Chen Nuonuo again, both of them had a look of admiration on their faces, the Zhizhou of Lanzhou and the Assassin of Yuzhou are not prominent in their official titles, but the two of them are so confident in their knowledge that they are conceited, and they can admire the two women, which shows how outstanding the two women are.
However, the two quarreled before and after Lin Wan'er and Chen Nuonuo's ranking, and Wang Qinian agreed that Lin Wan'er should be in front and called "South Lin and North Chen".
But Yuzhou Thorn Shi couldn't help shaking his head, "Lord Zhizhou, this is a bad word, don't be a fellow villager with Miss Lin, you have to favor one over the other, just look at it." It's still Miss Chen who is slightly better. ā
Wang Qinian shook his head: "Lord Thorn Shi's words are really bad, the small essay list has eight articles in one go, and he can write ancient books such as "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Story of the Stone". The talent is already unparalleled, how can it be worse than Miss Chen. I think the most talented person in this world is Miss Lin. ā
"Lord Zhizhou, Miss Lin did write a splendid article, but Miss Chen is in Wenyuan Pavilion, concentrating on the revision of the "Siku Quanshu", but it has great benefits to the people of Limin, and even His Majesty praised Miss Chen as a female bachelor. Dare to ask Miss Lin, does she have the patience to sit in Wenyuan Pavilion and devote herself to repairing books? ā
Now there is a group of people in Shangjing who love Lin Wan'er to the bone. Hate is also in the bones, and the first ten chapters of "The Story of Stones" are written, which has whetted people's appetites. Then I didn't believe it, so that the group of anxious readers gradually developed their hearts, and they would not frown when the sky fell, and they also had great doubts about Lin Wan'er's diligence and responsibility. Her laziness was famous in Shangjing.
Someone once said, "If you love someone." Invite him or her to see "The Stone". Let him (her) know that there is true love and true love in the world, if you hate someone, ask him (her) to watch "The Story of the Stone", let him (she) know that there is a worrying life in the world. ā
The Great Wei State has a strict style and rarely mentions the word "love", but everyone deeply agrees with the above sentence, and the most agreeable of them is the general Xiahou Xiangyang.
Regarding the words of Yuzhou's assassination, Wang Qinian has no way to refute. But he can refute it from another aspect: "Miss Chen is unparalleled in the world, but why did the third prince escape the marriage contract at the time of the wedding." Went to Lanzhou alone to find Miss Lin? Doesn't this mean that Miss Lin is better. ā
Yuzhou Thorn Shi couldn't refute it, he could only sigh and shake his head, since then the topic naturally turned to another "pair", Zhao Qian and Xu Yunfeng, but the topic is there, but the conversation can't be provoked, the two of them are wandering outside, doing things are handled, if you open your mouth to talk about it, it is all some ridiculous and confused things, a thing that makes people happy and convincing, and you can't say it, don't mention it, don't mention it.
The two chatted about the Xiongnu and Xihu again, and lamented the bad luck of the two Hans, if it weren't for the unprecedented prosperity of the Great Wei, there were generals in the north, King Xiliang in the west, His Majesty in Shangjing, and many military generals, the two Hans would definitely leave a strong mark in the history books, but unfortunately, one of the two big men can only continue to move north, and the other is a turtle with a shrunken head in Xihu, and he does not dare to show his face.
The two once discussed privately, if the Mao Dun Han rode his horse and raised the whip, continued to go south from Weishui, and the former naval army blocked the millions of troops of the Great Wei on the river, would it be a different scene today?
But the answer is no, because at that time, the general trend of the world was on the side of the Great Wei, and what the people wanted was what the world wanted. The Hun army entered the hinterland of the Central Plains, there was no chance to run on a large scale, the hills and mountains of the Central Plains will make the Hun cavalry nowhere to follow, even if to the north of the river, see the Great Wei army, it should also be the Hun cavalry missing half a leg.
Take another 10,000 steps back and say, the world's luck is on the side of the Xiongnu, the Great Wei army was defeated, and the Xiongnu used the results left by the Great Wei army to eliminate the army of the previous dynasty, pacify the world, establish a new dynasty, and become the lord of the Central Plains. Its national fortunes are no more than a hundred years old.
Because the culture of the Central Plains will be pervasive, invade the bone marrow of the Xiongnu, gradually assimilate them, and label them as the Han people of the Central Plains, this kind of transformation and assimilation cannot be eliminated by the imperial court issuing decrees or forcibly stopping them.
The strong assimilation ability of the Central Plains people will make the Xiongnu gradually accustomed to plowing the fields and harvesting and weaving, gradually moving away from horses and grasslands, and gradually forgetting that their belief in immortality is immortality.
The water and soil of the Central Plains are suitable for the Han people, not for the grassland people. The land of the Central Plains is fertile, but it is not something that the grassland people can afford.
From ancient times to the present, the grassland people are influencing the Central Plains people, and the Central Plains people are also influencing the grassland people, but the influence of the grassland people on the Central Plains is fur, which is a display of another way of life, novelty, but not enviable.
However, the influence of the Central Plains people on the grassland people is deep in the bone marrow, the influence of life concepts, thoughts and consciousness, and it is something that can make the Huns envious and willing to imitate and learn.
There will never be a day when the people of the Central Plains will learn from the Huns the ideology of the fundamental level, and it will only be some superficial things, such as how to use the vast terrain of the grassland to conduct horse warfare, and how to better milk sheep.
If Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan were present to join this discussion, they would definitely nod their heads constantly, the two adults were very right, in a certain world, there was indeed a big-minded Han who occupied the Central Plains and established a dynasty called the Yuan Dynasty, but this dynasty was destroyed by the Central Plains people in less than a hundred years.
Lord Zhizhou and Lord Thorn Shi were slightly drunk from drinking, and their eyes began to blur.
Yuzhou Thorn Shi said with a smile: "This time I came to the capital, I was able to see His Majesty, and I was fortunate enough to experience the wind and thunder above the court, and this trip was not in vain." In some time, I will also leave Beijing and return to Yuzhou. It is a great pleasure in life to be able to make a friend like Lord Wang. After speaking, he burped Wang Qinian, and the smell of alcohol was smoking.
Wang Qinian hurriedly covered his nose with his hand, and dispelled the smell of wine with his other hand: "It is also a blessing for Wang to know Master Thorn Shi." ā
"Lord Wang, why don't you and I worship here and call our sons brothers?" Yuzhou Thorn Sti yƬ said.
Wang Qinian couldn't stop shaking his head, not because he was disgusted by the matter itself, but as a parent official and a court official, he always had to pay attention to the influence, and the reckless thing of worshipping the son and calling him a brother did not match his identity.
Yuzhou Thorn Shi also seemed to notice the inappropriateness, and waved his hand again and again: "It's all nonsense, don't take it to heart." ā
While they were talking, the two suddenly heard a noise, accompanied by the sound of some objects breaking, ping-pong, so lively.
Slightly stunned, both of them are people who like to be quiet, and there is a faint anger on their faces.
Yuzhou Thorn Shi, who was slightly drunk and had a relatively short temper, got up and said: "It's noisy in the middle of the night, what kind of system is it?" ā
After a while, a voice replied: "My lord is angry, rats are scurrying around in the middle of the night, and they come out to hunt and kill, disturbing my lord, I hope you will forgive me." ā
When the man had finished answering, he put his hand to his mouth and squeaked like a mouse.
No more sound came from the inn's firewood room.
The man waved his hand, and a few people walked out of the shadows, dragging the Hun assassins on the ground, who had died violently, nodding to each other, and disappearing into the darkness.
Two more people appeared, holding cooked soil in their hands, and lightly sprinkled on the bloodstains, covering up most of the bloody taste.
A silent assassination and counter-assassination ended between understatement, and the assassins of Lanzhou and Yuzhou were unaware.
There were dozens of such assassinations overnight, but all of them were stopped by the imperial court. (To be continued......)
