Chapter 68: Yin and Yang (II)

In all fairness, Li Xian's calligraphy level can only be regarded as average. Especially after he was ousted from the throne for the first time, because he lived in the shadow of death all the year round, the words he wrote were even more messy and vain, and there were no bones and bones.

However, in recent months, with the killing of Wu Sansi, the arm of Buddhism reaching out to the court was broken, and the Tang army won a complete victory in Shuofang, he gradually gave birth to a bit of imperial bearing, and calligraphy gradually became interesting.

Especially tonight, when he suddenly learned from the mouth of Zheng Kejun, the deputy head of the Hundred Cavalry Division, that it took specific celestial phenomena and timing to summon the "Fire Meteor", in an instant, the stones pressed on his heart were gone, and the words written became more and more "vigorous and rich, and the rhyme was complete".

Since summoning a fire meteor requires a specific celestial phenomenon, the next solar eclipse, just keep Zhang Qianzhi farther away. Something that can be done with a single dictation. I believe that with the affection between the monarch and the ministers and Zhang Qian's cleverness, it will not be able to openly resist the order.

After this purge, I believe that the Hun Tianjian will be able to live in peace for many years, and it will not be easy to deliberately conceal the eclipse without forecasting it.

"Good name, good penmanship! What an honor it is for Shaojian Zhang's school to let the saint have such high hopes! "Sycophants have always been a science, and Gao Yanfu is obviously one of the masters. didn't wait for Li Xian to stop writing, he couldn't wait to exclaim loudly next to him!

"Hmm!" Li Xian also felt that he was in a particularly good state of writing tonight, put down the pen, and admired it triumphantly for a moment. Then he smiled and ordered: "Take it and frame it, and then you will send it to Zhang Qing for me." By the way, tell him that two temples and 4,000 acres of fields will be accepted as a moisturizing pen! Next time he needs the inscription of my name, this can be an example! ”

"Then he's taking advantage of it!" Keenly feeling that Li Xian was in a good mood, Gao Yanfu continued to smile and compliment. It seems that Li Xian's words, the collection value has really far surpassed Wang Xizhi.

"This kind of cheapness, I wish he would take advantage of it a few more times!" Li Xian smiled, and a light sigh suddenly came out of his mouth, "Alas, if he can take advantage of me hundreds of times a year, not only will I have a lot more money on hand, but there will also be hundreds of more schools in the world." Why wouldn't I do it?! ”

This, the expectations for Zhang Qian are too high. Gao Yanfu didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while. And Li Xian, who didn't need him to pick up his words, smiled, and shook his head lightly, "Who has achieved my position and doesn't want to become the world's Yaoshun?" It's a pity that the king of Yao Shun also has to have the ministers of Yao Shun. I'm not in a hurry, I still have enough time! Gao Jian Men, inform the female history of the Shang Sleep Bureau that I will go to Shangguan Zhaorong to rest tonight, and let her make arrangements for me in advance! ”

"Yes!" Gao Yanfu was stunned, and then bowed with joy on his face.

Emperor Ying Tianshenlong, he is actually in the mood to spoil his concubine, and he is fortunate to be Shangguan Wan'er, who is not very similar to the queen, this is really a rare happy event! This shows that the mental condition and physical condition of Emperor Ying Tianshenlong are greatly improving. Whether it is for Datang or for a harem minister like him Gao Yanfu, it is definitely very beneficial.

In Gao Yanfu's opinion, although the Divine Dragon Emperor Li Xian was not as decisive as the Great Sage Empress Zetian, he would not be angry with others easily. The chaotic situation in the Tang Dynasty has gradually improved in the past year. As the saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, as long as Emperor Ying Tianshenlong is on the throne, his high Yan's fortune and wealth will not be lower than the current one. And in case someone else is replaced on the dragon chair, he Gao Yanfu will immediately have to stand aside.

Thinking about the time when these changes appeared in Li Xian's body, and the reason why Li Xian was in a good mood, Gao Yanfu felt more and more in his heart that the junior named Zhang Qian was worthy of his deep friendship. can do anything, can make money, and has a strong ability to protect himself, and more importantly, this person has always regarded himself as an ordinary elder, and has never cared that he is a eunuch. With such a good future life, his future future is not ambitious, so it makes no sense!

Even if the Shenlong Emperor goes west in the future and changes someone else to sit on the throne, he also needs capable and good-tempered courtiers to work for him. And Zhang Qian is the best choice, there is no one.

Gao Yanfu has no descendants, and his uncle was also exterminated because he participated in the rebellion against Wu Zetian. However, he also has nephews, nephews, and grandchildren. As the saying goes, Fu has distant relatives in the mountains, and he has already achieved the position of the general of the prison gate, so naturally he will not lack relatives.

Therefore, whether it is for himself or for his juniors, Gao Yanfu needs to take advantage of his high position and power to take the initiative to show favor to some rising stars in the officialdom. This is a kind of wisdom that can greatly extend the enjoyment of glory and wealth, and it is also a very hidden political investment. Generally, no one will teach, but smart people can learn without teachers.

Gao Yanfu is precisely this kind of smart person who can learn without a teacher, so after considering various circumstances, he decisively increased the intensity of "investment", and the day after getting the handwritten letter of Li Xian, the emperor of Yingtian Shenlong, he set up a full set of honor guards of the general of the prison gate, and sent the handwritten letter to Zhang Qian's house with great fanfare. At the same time, in the name of student assistance, the Zhuangzi he once mentioned to Zhang Qian couldn't help but fall under the name of Chengxian Academy.

Zhang Qian resigned to no avail, and had no choice but to accept the gift of the old eunuch on behalf of Yixue. The primary school he had originally planned to build with reference to another compulsory education system in time and space could only be renamed Cheng Xian College. Although the teaching content and educational goals are still those he himself planned, in the eyes of outsiders, the elementary school has completely become a different appearance.

As a result, before Zhang Qian had time to turn the handwritten letter given by Li Xian into a plaque, the news that the Baimashan Temple in Weinan was about to become a school spread out. The good men and women who were originally indignant because "Zhang Shaojian bullied others and forcibly occupied four monasteries", and even planned to make a difference, immediately all died down. The officials who were secretly rubbing their fists and grinding their palms, ready to verify the fact that Zhang Qian "occupied the monastery and the Buddha field", and then joined forces to attack, also threw the carefully prepared impeachment twists and turns into the water stove at home.

And people who felt schadenfreude because of the failure of Buddhism's "fighting method" felt more and more proud. Don't monks keep saying that the Dharma is boundless? You have boundless Dharma, why didn't you even take down an official who was injured and bedridden, but was instead attacked by magic? On the contrary, the altar and the monks who practiced it were wiped out?!

The reason why the monks usually dare to do evil is because they rely on the support of a few princesses and queens? But no matter how big the queen and princess are, can they be bigger than the emperor himself? Now that even the emperor himself has given the name of Yixue, what is the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards Buddhism, you can imagine!

There are also some top smart people, such as Ling Fanggong of Weinan County, who decisively replaced the Buddhist shrine enshrined in their home with a portrait of Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism. Immediately, he personally came to the door and paid a visit to the secret supervisor Zhang Shaojian who was recuperating at home. At the same time, in front of Zhang Qian's sickbed, he took the initiative to promise that he would send errand servants and Minzhuang to undertake all the cleaning and decoration work of turning the temple into a academy, without requiring Zhang Shaojian to spend a penny and a trace of energy. Within three months, if he doesn't do it well, he Fang Gong would rather take the initiative to hang up the crown and leave!

Zhang Qian was worried about how to deal with so many Buddha statues in the Baimashan Temple in Weinan, and listened to Fang Gong take the initiative to ask for help, how could he not be overjoyed? I didn't think about it for a while, so I agreed to the other party's request. So, the guests and hosts each took what they needed, and one lay down, the other sitting, and talked for more than half an hour before they dispersed.

Now, it can reassure many people. originally thought that after Zhang Qian's illness was cured, he would definitely retaliate against the local "village sages", but when they found that Zhang Shaojian, who had high mana, even let go of Lingfang Gong of Weinan County, who had taken refuge in Buddhism, and immediately understood what they should do. One by one, in the name of returning to the township, they rushed to donate money and materials to the volunteer school, and in just half a month, they even made the donation as high as more than 700 hangs, and the school field of Chengxian Academy also expanded rapidly from the original 2,000 acres to more than 3,200 acres.

For the kindness of the "village sages", Zhang Qian accepted all the orders, and then directly handed them over to Zhang Ruoxu to deal with. As for why the "village sages" stood on the monk's side to deal with him in the first place, Zhang Qian actually knew it.

First of all, he Zhang Qian was not born in a famous family, nor did he have the support of a high-ranking and powerful "teacher" in the court, and he was able to climb to the position of the young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, which was purely "fortunate to advance" in the eyes of many people. His position is very unstable, maybe one day he will have to be pushed to the end, and if he is offended, he will be offended, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Secondly, Buddhism has both the princess as a believer, and the queen's clan to support her, and her strength is more than a hundred times stronger than that of a mere military supervisor and a young prisoner? He Zhang Qian clashed with Buddhism, and there was no hope of victory, so who should the "village sages" choose to support, and they still need to think carefully?

Again, in the past few months, he has built bridges and paved roads, erected windmills and wells to drain water, and his actions were too flamboyant, and he also set a precedent for paying wages to tenants. Although he spent his own money and lost his own home, he broke the local "rules"!

If the "village sages" follow him, the loss will definitely not be a small amount. If you don't learn from him, you will inevitably be ridiculed for being "stingy". And once the "poor sticks" are all "Diao" by Zhang Qian, where will the "village sages" find laborers who work for nothing in the future? !

Now that he understood the reasons why the "village sages" were hostile to him before, when the other party expressed a soft attitude, Zhang Qian simply accepted it when he saw it. He knew that he was a few pounds and taels now, and he definitely didn't have the capital to be the enemy of the entire squire class in Datang. And the changes he wants to make are not something that can be done overnight. Therefore, at this time, Taoguang is almost his only choice.

If possible, Zhang Qian even wanted to turn enemies into friends with some "village sages" and pull the latter into the business under his name as a minority shareholder. In this way, when the "village sages" make money in the new workshop, they will naturally not be so resistant to emerging industries. And his practice of paying salaries to tenants will also be understood and accepted by the "village sages" more quickly.

It's a pity that as soon as this idea came to mind, it was directly strangled in the bud by Guo Nu and Ren Cong.

"Senior brother, if you accept their donation to Yixue, it is equivalent to accepting their surrender, they will only thank you for your magnanimity, and they will definitely not dare to have any dissatisfaction in their hearts at this time!" Regarding the mentality of the locals, Guo Nu knew better than Zhang Qian, who was a senior brother, shook his head, and sneered and advised, "And at this moment, if you give them any more benefits, senior brother, it will make them feel uneasy in their hearts, and even feel that if you don't plan to stop, senior brother, you will retaliate against them sooner or later!" ”

"Yes, senior brother, you are now the secretary and the young eunuch, although there is no way to make them bankrupt in a word, give them some color, but it is easy." Although Ren Cong is kind-hearted, he is not willing to let unrelated people take advantage. smiled, and also whispered to the side, "Right now, only they have your share, and there is no share of you giving them benefits for nothing, senior brother." Otherwise, instead of thinking about your affection, they will think that you are pedantic and deceitful. The next time the Buddha Gate relieves its vitality and troubles you again, they will still stand on the side of the Buddha Gate! ”

"The villain is afraid of power but not virtuous. You didn't provoke them at the beginning, senior brother. They also provided land for the monks, donated wood to the monks, and organized people to release them at the door of our homes. If you don't let him suffer a little loss, they will definitely not learn their lesson. ”

"The shares of our Liushen Commercial Bank, others may not be able to buy them. They are sorry for Senior Brother, but you have given them all the qualifications to buy, don't you encourage others to go against you, Senior Brother? ”

"Senior brother, you just have to be kind to the tenants, the tenants are poor, and it is a chivalrous act for the senior brother to help the poor. Those people are all very rich, senior brother, why do you sympathize with them?! ”

"Senior brother, with that kung fu, you might as well think of a few more ideas to make money. Seeing that winter is coming to an end, the water stoves and stoves of our two families will not be sold. And the peat business can't just be allowed to run by the two of us. Senior brother, you turn stones into gold, my grandfather and the father of the second senior brother are waiting for your new ideas! ”

…………

"That's it, that's it!" Zhang Qian said that he couldn't do two junior brothers, so he had to choose to be good.

In fact, he didn't realize that subconsciously, his desire to win over those "village sages" was not very strong. Compared to a real eighth-century man, he did seem overly kind and out-of-touch at times. However, his kindness and generosity are mostly aimed at those who are really weak. In the face of the strong in this society, and even the huge Buddhist forces, his performance is often the same as when facing the weak!

These are actually related to the environment in which he grew up when he was a child. Without Aunt Liu's protection and teaching, with his upbringing, his personality is very easy to become narrow-minded and extreme, and it is also very easy to vent his dissatisfaction with society on innocent people and people who are weaker than himself. However, Aunt Liu used her life to illuminate the hearts of several of his other orphans. After seeing the darkness of life, they always kept the light in their hearts.

Don't flatter the strong, don't bare your teeth to the weak. You can see the darkness and keep the light. This is a treasure gifted to them by Aunt Liu.

He took it and reaped it for the rest of his life.

Therefore, when he was preparing to open a primary school, he proposed to Zhang Ruoxu: In addition to enlightenment, if the children who have studied can increase their compassion for the common people in the future and have a little empathy for their peers, he will definitely be overjoyed.

Reading can save people from ignorance, but it cannot make people kinder, let alone teach people to have compassion for their fellow human beings. But the teacher's words and deeds can.

A narrow-minded, philistine, money-greedy and flattering teacher may be able to cultivate the first place in the provincial college entrance examination, but it is difficult to cultivate a kind, upright, honest and trustworthy student, which Zhang Qian has seen with his own eyes in another time and space.

Therefore, when choosing the principal of the primary school, the first choice in his heart was Zhang Ruoxu.

Even though the primary school has now become a academy and a plaque written by the emperor himself is hung, Zhang Ruoxu is still the best candidate for mountain chief in his heart.

The reason is very simple, Zhang Ruoxu may not be an official, may be uninhibited, and may lack foresight. However, in Zhang Ruoxu's body and peaceful behavior, he couldn't see the slightest bit of viciousness!

Only one person expressed dissatisfaction with this choice. That is, Luo Huaizu, the head of Qi Mo.

"Are you going to recruit a wide range of disciples and spread your Qin Mo mastery?" On the night when Zhang Qian sent away the county commander Fang Gong, Luo Huaizu entered his bedroom like a ghost, and asked in a low voice on a wall with his back.

Zijuan is no stranger to the behavior of the new second accountant. He said skillfully, "I'm going to make tea," and hurried out of the outhouse. Zhang Qian, on the other hand, put down the bronze pipe he had just copied in his hand, and shook his head with a smile, "How is it possible, our Qin Mo's mastery is never easily taught to others." The academy is a Mongolian school, but it is not restrained. You don't overthink it. ”

"Don't put the pipe on me, I'm very fast, and I won't give you a chance to ignite!" Luo Huaizu was taken aback, and quickly dodged sideways, while whispering a warning.

Since that day, I witnessed Zhang Qian smash the monk's altar with three bronze bells. He refused to be confronted by any tubular object, especially when he was with Zhang Qian, even a brush could arouse his vigilance.

And Zhang Qian, who originally didn't have the idea of using the gunpowder in the bronze pipe against him, smiled and put the pipe in the corner of the wall.

Seeing this, Luo Huaizu finally relaxed his vigilance a little. Frowning, he continued to dig into the roots: "If you don't recruit disciples for the Mo family, then what are you doing in opening the academy?" Is there so much money that there is nowhere to spend it? ”

"The monk paid me for the monastery and the field skin, I am afraid that my hands will be hot." Dealing with people like Luo Huaizu, the effect of telling lies is far less effective than telling the truth, so Zhang Qian didn't hide anything, "Secondly, give the world a little return." ”

"Reciprocate, the world?" Luo Huaizu's mind obviously didn't have the concept of the world, and he frowned and thought for a long time before he asked tentatively, "You mean Datang?" Do you think Datang has taken you in and treated you well, so you want to do something for Datang? ”

"That's pretty much it!" Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and signaled that he did not have any fire in his hand. Then, try to stay away from the bronze pipe, "When I first came out of the mountain, I only hoped to have a place to sleep and a Datang household registration. And now ......"

Looking at the window, he swept to the simple but beautiful enough everyday objects in the room. He continued to smile and nodded, "It's far exceeded my expectations. Sit down, my leg wound hasn't healed yet, and there's no ambush outside. ”

"I live in your house every day, of course I know that there is no ambush!" Luo Huaizu's face turned red, he walked to the chair, sat down with a golden knife, and then pouted and added, "Even if your leg injury heals, you are not my opponent." ”

"Then why are you so cautious?" Zhang Qian rolled his eyelids, his face full of disdain.

"Who knows what other killer moves you're hiding?!" Luo Huaizu's face turned even redder, and he argued forcefully, "You kid seems to be honest, but his heart is ruthless." The old man has killed people all his life, and he has never been as ruthless as you. Just "boom boom" three times, and the corpses are all over the field! ”

"I didn't kill you as much, and besides, I was forced to defend myself!" Zijuan hadn't come back yet, Zhang Qian poured himself a cup of cold tea, and poured a cup for the other party, "Don't mention these, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"If you open the academy, it's not to revive your Qinmo lintel. Then let the old man be the head of the academy. Luo Huaizu took the water cup, poured himself two sips, and gritted his teeth, "You have given so many things to the imperial court, Li Xian will give you any glory, you don't have to think about the benefits of the imperial court." But our Mo family, but the talent is withering day by day, and we need ......"

"The mountain chief has already been selected." Zhang Qian didn't even think about it, and decisively refused. "I invited Uncle Zhang Shi, and he agreed."

With Luo Huaizu's mentality of destroying people at every turn, handing over the academy to him doesn't it have to become a "terrorist" training base? Come on, Zhang still wants to sleep peacefully, but he doesn't want to be cut off by the Mo family's disciples when he sleeps one day.

"Zhang Ruoxu, what good protΓ©gΓ© can he teach? What else would he do besides drinking? Luo Huaizu suddenly felt very hurt, and protested in a low voice in a hoarse voice.

His "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" ......" Zhang Qian instinctively wanted to popularize the status of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" in Tang poetry. However, seeing Luo Huaizu's angry and corrupt appearance, he gave up decisively, "Qin Mo is not Qi Mo, I don't plan to revive the lintel of the Mo family when I go out of the mountain this time." ”

Talking about poetry with people who are all they think about is killing and intrigue. It's better to tell him bluntly that he has no right to dictate his one-third of an acre.

"Then what did your master send you out for?" Luo Huaizu immediately gave up his verbal attack on Zhang Ruoxu, and asked rhetorically with a frown.

"I told you, it was a mistake. I accidentally got lost and appeared at the foot of Jungnam Mountain. Zhang Qian has long been accustomed to others asking like this, and gave the answer skillfully and naturally.

"Our Mo family is in decline now, if we don't think about it, sooner or later we will completely break off the inheritance!" Luo Huaizu reprimanded Zhang Qian for lying, but he had no evidence, so he could only continue to state the embarrassing situation faced by the Mo family.

"That's you Qi Mo. Qin Mo has been living in the mountains since the fall of Great Qin. The inheritance will never be broken, and what happens to the other two Momen branches is not about Qin Mo. Zhang Qiancai wouldn't be fooled by him, smiled and picked up the cold tea, and drank it slowly.

"You ......" Luo Huaizu was angry, but there was no way to refute Zhang Qian's statement, his fists clenched and gurgling.

If Qin Mo continues, the inheritance of the Mo family cannot be regarded as severe. The other two Momen branches died, and for Qin Mo, it was conducive to determining the orthodoxy of his own status.

"Zhang Ruoxu is my surname, and he is also the best elder for me since I came to Datang. I treat him like an uncle! Knowing what kind of character Luo Huaizu is, and afraid that he will not be able to beg to be the head of the mountain, he will take extraordinary measures, Zhang Qian unceremoniously issued a warning in advance, "If you dare to hurt him, I have a way to kill you, and then dig out all of you Qi Mo and kill them one by one." If you don't believe it, just try it! ”

"I'll ...... it now" Luo Huaizu's plan in his heart was punctured, and he was immediately annoyed and angry. Stand up and pounce.

However, seeing Zhang Qian's cold eyes, his heart began to feel weak. Decisively stopped moving, panting like a cow.

It's not difficult to kill Zhang Qian. However, killing Zhang Qian is equivalent to him personally extinguishing the hope of the Mo family's resurgence. Moreover, he himself will definitely be hunted down endlessly by the minions of the imperial court.

And Zhang Qian's master will definitely not let him go. The power displayed by those three bronze bells was by no means possessed by an ordinary sect. Regardless of Zhang Qian's identity as a disciple of Qin Mo, whether it is false or true, his killing of Zhang Qian is tantamount to setting himself on fire.

It's useless to hit Zhang Qian. Although the other party looks gentle and elegant, his temperament is ruthless. It is difficult to subdue him by the use of force alone. And once he really provokes him, Luo Huaizu is really not sure, except for the fire meteor that night, Zhang Qian will come up with another big killer that cannot be prevented!

"If you want to inherit your Qi Mo's knowledge, you can go to the academy as a teacher." Ignoring Luo Huaizu's appearance of opening his teeth and dancing claws, Zhang Qian smiled and pointed out the way out to the other party, "Specializing in teaching archery, the second art of royalty." After six years, the student graduates. If you think that any student's qualifications and character are suitable for inheriting your mantle, I will not stop you. ”

"Six years later? You promised the old man that after five years, you would help the old man to preach in Tianzhu! Luo Huaizu immediately discovered the trap in this statement, and frowned and protested loudly.

Zhang Qian glanced at him and replied in no hurry, "When the time comes, you can choose for yourself, whether to wait for an extra year, or leave directly." Or, if there are students who are willing to follow you to Tianzhu in advance, I will not stop you either! ”

"This ......" Luo Huaizu hesitated to estimate the gains and losses in his heart, his eyes were uncertain.

Zhang Qian, on the other hand, held the teacup steadily, patiently and calmly.

He suddenly found that after the three bombardments, many things were different.

Luo Huaizu was a little more jealous of him. And himself, when he faced Luo Huaizu again, he had gradually grasped the initiative.

The truth is hidden within the range of the cannon, and this is true!
