Chapter 63
Taking advantage of Xu Heng and Xu Su's efforts to entertain guests, Xu Hui, who got the hint, found an excuse to leave, and then walked quickly to the dead corner of the gazebo, and saluted Xu Ze, who had been standing aside and watching them quietly for a long time: "I've seen my grandfather." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xu Ze moved his gaze back and walked slowly in the other direction, Xu Hui naturally followed, and heard Xu Ze ask: "Standing next to Heng'er, dressed in green clothes, the gentle young man, is what you call Liu Zhan?" ”
"Exactly."
"I heard that he has a very good reputation among Zhao Mu's many children?"
Because she planned to recruit Liu Zhan, Xu Hui naturally put a lot of effort into this regard, so she nodded and told all the information she knew: "Liu Zhan has a gentle personality, is helpful, and has an attitude that is not arrogant or impatient, no matter how many rumors others have, they will laugh at it. Even if someone who had slandered him asked him for advice, he would still teach carefully regardless of his previous suspicions, so he was extremely popular among Zhao Mu's many disciples. A few days ago, someone humiliated him, but he didn't react himself, but several senior brothers who couldn't bear it stood up and fought with him. In the end, it was Sima Anyang who called Sima Zheng and asked her to help suppress the matter, so that Liu Zan was exempted from punishment. It is really rare to have Sima An do this for him. ”
Xu Hui has a very high evaluation of Liu Zhan, even if he says it objectively, he can still hear it between the lines, Xu Hui is full of praise for Liu Zhan's personality and talent, but Xu Ze frowned slightly, and said after a while: "This young man gives me an ominous feeling." ”
"Ominous?" Xu Hui was surprised in his heart, but he immediately thought of a little, so he said, "Grandfather thinks that he is pretending?" But I don't see it. The illusion of disguise, no matter how perfect, will always reveal flaws, but Liu Chan ...... I can see that everything he does, even if there are some elements of exploitation and profit, is essentially good. ”
"I'm not saying that he's bad, it's just that his gentleness doesn't give me a feeling of coming from the heart and feeling like a spring breeze." Xu Ze said so, and then smiled lightly, as if talking to himself, and as if to say to Xu Hui, "But to say that he is disguised, it is not so much a mask that he wears for self-preservation, but that he has not noticed it......"
Speaking of this, his voice was lowered, and even with Xu Hui's ear power, he didn't hear clearly what the second half of the sentence was.
Xu Ze's ability to see people and the accuracy of evaluating characters is extremely famous in the entire Daqi, even if Xu Hui has a very good sense of Liu Zhan, listening to his grandfather's words, he can't help but believe three points. But she had a different view on this matter, so she didn't think about it, so she said directly: "My grandfather also said that I want to recruit talents in the Xu family of the party, but it is difficult and difficult. Liu Zan is pretending, what does it have to do with it? What can be used by me is enough. ”
When Xu Ze heard this, he couldn't help but stop, looked at Xu Hui, and said lightly: "You are very optimistic about him." ”
"Because my granddaughter suddenly remembered something these days." Xu Hui Zhengse said, "If the granddaughter is not mistaken, the sister of the head of the Qian family married to the Wuxing Zhang family, and a son-in-law of the latter's family will marry the prince's second daughter, the county lord of Xiaochang, a year later." ”
The daughter of the crown prince, registered as the lord of the county; The prince's concubine, the princess's daughter, is registered as the county lord, this is an insurmountable rule. But for many families, they would rather marry the daughters of the kings than the concubines of the princes, especially the concubines like the county lord of Xiaochang, whose biological mother was from a humble background and had nothing to do with the family. After all, marriage means that the relationship is deeper, and for many families who do not participate in the team, except for the position of the grandson's wife, there is no other marriage that can make them devote themselves wholeheartedly. What's more, the prince has a close relationship with the surname Qiao, and the Qian family and the Wuxing Zhang family are both family members with the surname Wu.
"How could you not remember such an important thing before?"
Xu Hui took a sip of the spring, and only said after a while: "The crown princess is shrewd and powerful, and she disciplines the concubines well, and she will hardly cause any mess and scandals, and she ...... Before the granddaughter went to Jiankang, the county lord of Xiaochang passed away due to dystocia. ”
Hearing her answer, Xu Ze chuckled and said, "Difficult birth? ”
"In the courtyard of the deep house, it is too easy to want a woman to die."
Obviously, neither Xu Hui nor Xu Ze thought that the county lord of Xiaochang died a normal death, but Xu Ze said in a determined tone that did not look like a question at all: "Do you think that this is the Ming plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang?" ”
With the death of a woman, double-sided surrender and double-sided betting, this practice, Xu Hui is too familiar. So she took a sip of spring and was silent for a moment before saying, "Half and half, no, it should be said, seven three open." ”
After that, she added: "The marriage of the county lord of Xiaochang is a sage who randomly points out the mandarin duck spectrum, otherwise the practice of never intermarrying with the surname Wu is a wishful thinking." The granddaughter doesn't know how many people are pushing for this matter, and how many people are wrestling, but if the Qian family really uses the death of my Xiaochang county lord to perfunctory the Wu surname and secretly continue to surrender to the prince, then the day of the sudden death of the saint is the time when the Qian family soars. ”
If the Qian family soars, will the end of Liu Zan be far away?
For Xu Hui, Liu Zan is completely a talent who can be seen, touched, and is very likely to be wooed, not to mention that Xu Ze feels that Liu Zan gives people an ominous feeling, even if she knows that Liu Zan is really cursed by the god of doom, she has to find a way to let him contribute to Xu's efforts.
"How sure are you?"
"Whether it's or not, there's no harm in taking a gamble, the prince will not give up the help of two families surnamed A who were born with the surname Wu because of the death of a concubine." Xu Hui said slowly, "What's more, with grandfather here, even if they don't mean that, they can force them to that point, right?" ”
When Xu Ze heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You think too highly of me." ”
Xu Hui shook his head slightly, no longer mentioning this thing that made her feel uncomfortable, but changed the topic and asked, "Grandfather, has you thought about it, how to mention the matter of Pranya at the Xun banquet three days later?" Speaking of this, she paused before saying her true thoughts, "Although Buddhism is powerful, Taoism is the state religion for hundreds of years, and there are not many hidden forces, and the doctrine of Prajna is not as good as that of Vitan and Ahan...... If you drive the wolf and devour the tiger like this, will you be counterattacked? ”
When she learned about the situation in Wuwei County, she deeply hated Buddhism, eager to eat its skin and eat its flesh, and almost couldn't wait to provoke the infighting of Buddhism, so that they could no longer lead the way for the Hu people. But these days, as Xu Ze translated Buddhist scriptures, meditated on the teachings between Theravada Buddhism, and figured out their respective influences, Xu Hui gradually calmed down, so he asked this question.
"You can't help but think too much about Taoism." Regarding the question of religion, Xu Ze thought about it for more than ten years, so when Xu Hui asked, he didn't even need to think about it, and said directly, "Taoism has attracted countless believers with the art of immortality, and it has also been adopted as the state religion by the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty." But every disappointment in the 'elixir' and the fear of death must have made the old emperor furious, accompanied by a brutal purge of Taoism. Coupled with the fierce power and Taoist struggle within Taoism, Taoism often suffers from great vitality, but only because no one is invincible, they can develop steadily and gradually recover their vitality, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry this time. Besides, many Taoist priests served by the emperor's side, and it was inevitable that they would be infected with right and wrong, and offend many families...... The reason why Buddhism can be popular in the north is due to the family's plan to drive away the wolf and the tiger, as well as the secret support, which is indispensable. ”
The family secretly supported Buddhism, using it as an eyes, ears, mouthpiece and blade to fight against Taoism and contain the family with the northern surname. But he never thought that Buddhism had never put the treasure on the Han people, but was quite optimistic about the Hu people. Taoism relied on the emperor, secretly colluded with Confucianism, planned to suppress the family, restore the imperial power, and vigorously developed believers in the family surnamed Wu, leaving a way back for itself...... Religion is often accompanied by politics, and politics is precisely the weak link of today's Shangdang Xu, or all families with northern surnames.
"Or Qi Fang said it well, the land of Yingchuan seems to be extremely prosperous, but in fact it is rotten and boring." Referring to the upcoming Xun banquet and the surging undercurrent, Xu Hui complained, "It's better to come in with a white knife and a red knife out, which is refreshing and neat." ”
Xu Ze looked at Xu Hui with some surprise and asked, "Do you like to march and fight?" ”
Xu Hui shook his head lightly and said very honestly: "My granddaughter hates taking the lives of others, but because she has been restrained for too long, she enjoys the feeling of freedom. Although the breath of blood and fire makes me dizzy, compared to the current situation, I would rather exterminate the bandits and fight against the Hu people. ”
"Then what do you think is more useful among the many parts I have lent you temporarily?" Xu Ze looked at Xu Hui seriously and said, "No matter who you say, I will give them to you, and it depends on your ability to see if you can really recover them." ”
When he said this, it was equivalent to agreeing to let Xu Hui have his own troops, which was a privilege that even Xu Hui's father Xu Yun, uncle Xu Pan and brother Xu Heng did not have, because Xu Hui could not hide his excitement, he just wanted to call Xu Lin's name, but he couldn't help but say nothing, but carefully selected a few people he was satisfied with: "Qin Jiu and several of his partners are very good. The granddaughter also took in a person named Wenfeng, who should also be a manufacturable material, but he needs to be snubbed for a while. ”
When Xu Ze heard this, he couldn't help but show a little interest: "The person you want, just like that?" ”
"There are some suitable people who have a lot of thoughts, and if I force them to come over, it will be a grudge rather than a favor." Xu Hui saw it very clearly, "In the middle of the family, the granddaughter will choose at most a hundred, and the rest of the team will still find a way to collect the homeless people by herself and let them die hard." In this way, the people of the Xu family have nothing to say. (To be continued.) )
