In this dynasty, since Gaozu, all emperors have ruled the country based on balance. or foreign relatives to balance the powerful, or eunuchs to balance foreign relatives, or ......

However, no matter how the emperor governs the country and balances the government, the ministers of the court are inseparable from the hundreds of schools, especially Confucianism, Taoism, soldiers, Yin and Yang, Legalism, Moism, etc., which are the pillars of the entire imperial court. Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang rule of law, soldiers govern the army, and the Mohist system uses all kinds of equipment, equipment, buildings, and so on.

They are either vassals of foreign relatives, or vassal eunuchs and magnates, but more of them remain neutral and do not favor anyone. Among them, Confucianism was so powerful that it overtook the rest of the schools to become the main force of the neutral faction. This can be seen from the fact that Dong Zhongshu and others were relied on by the emperor of the current dynasty, and it can be seen that the power of Confucianism in the court is very strong.

There is a way to attract the wind, and Confucianism cannot all be gentle and elegant people. Besides, Zi said: Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances directly!

In this way, after two or three hundred years, whether it is eunuchs, relatives, or other princes, there is resentment against Confucianism, but it was only hindered by the situation before and did not break out. But decades ago, when Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Hu Xin and others became famous, the court was windy-

"Back then, the eunuchs and their relatives were in collusion to control the authority of the DPRK and China, and we were young and vigorous, and they were criticized in the DPRK and everywhere for being blinded to the heavens and not being the son of man, and so on."

"At first, they were patient, but then we thought they were toothless tigers, and we intensified our efforts in the hope of awakening Your Majesty and cutting off the thieves. But it is a holy decree that edifies all nations. ”

At that time, the government and the opposition were chaotic, and there were constant harassment from various tribes, and it coincided with the Goguryeo Department presenting a letter of submission to His Majesty. Yes, I didn't think about it, I just thought it was a coincidence, so that some old foxes took the opportunity to retreat and didn't notice anything wrong, but just accepted the emperor's order with great interest and arrived here. ”

When talking about nonsense, it is inevitable that there will be some sighs. But when Gongsun Du looked at him, he also understood that he had already been relieved.

There is really a kind of past, all of which are empty.

"Bo Jiao, Kang Cheng, and the old decay, it is naturally not stupid to be able to stand out among the talented Confucians. Within two years of staying here, I found that there were fewer and fewer Confucian children, and I vaguely understood. ”

Gongsun Du couldn't help but muttered when he heard this: This is not stupid, how can it be counted? Clear-eyed people know at a glance that they don't want a few of you with very high names to enter the court, so as not to threaten them, but they consciously and voluntarily fall for it, which is simply stupid!

Hu Yan couldn't hear Gongsun Du's heart, he was still immersed in memories-

So as soon as the three of us put it together, we all understood. It's just that the matter has come to this, with our stubbornness at that time, how can we bow our heads. After a few more years, I saw that the situation in the court was becoming more and more secretive, and other great Confucians also faintly alienated us. We understand that we can't go on like this, otherwise sooner or later we will become a thorn in the side of other Confucians and lose the last support. ”

Therefore, the old man proposed that the two of them leave and let the old man continue to stay here. It is better for one person to be ostracized than for all three. But with our friendship for many years, Bo Jiao and Kang Cheng didn't agree to anything, and finally broke up unhappily. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Yan's face was filled with pride, regret, anger and other emotions.

Gongsun Du is a little incomprehensible, proud to understand, proud of the friendship of the three! Regret...... Do you regret staying here? But it doesn't look like it, if you really regret it, you can't regret it now, even if the next twenty or thirty years are not in the first ten years, and you regret it in the next ten years, you won't be able to solve it when you go back.

Even if you regret it, you can't get over it, and you can barely say it if you stay here.

But what's the point of anger?

Could it be that he is angry with Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan, and feels that they should not draw a line with them? It shouldn't be! Since they can put forward the idea of letting the two of them go back, they can't imagine that they have to draw a line with them, it's impossible!

Hu Yan's mood was slightly restrained, and he continued: "Later, after about a year, the old man finally thought of a way to let them go back with peace of mind. ”

"Unfilial piety has three nos!"

"Of the three, only the old man had a wife before he came here, and had a son and a daughter. The marriage contract originally made by the two of them was also postponed. They thought that the old man didn't know, if they didn't go back, it would not be as simple as delaying, and it might eventually be a divorce. ”

"That's what convinced them."

"But ......"

Gongsun Du suddenly found that Hu Yan was full of anger, and if he could get a lighter at this time, maybe it would be ignited directly.

Will it explode then?

"Those people actually killed dozens of people in my family one by one, even my bedridden mother, who was just seven years old! Only a few of the old servants I had recruited earlier survived. ”

"Eh~" Gongsun Du didn't expect those people to be so ruthless, and he was also surprised, but then he subconsciously said, "Then what's going on with Hu Zi?" ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, after Gongsun Du finished saying this, he found that Hu Yan's body was slightly shocked.

After a long time, Hu Yan let out a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, unfilial piety is great!" I can't imagine that the words of persuasion will fall on the old decay again, right? ”

Without waiting for Gongsun Du to ask again, Hu Yan said directly: "At that time, I really wanted to die, but in the end, I was worried that the Hu family would be doomed, and I had no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors, and survived." ”

"I don't know how I got through the first days, if it weren't for the fact that these Goguryeo people didn't understand Chinese, maybe I would have known that some things were taught wrong."

"However, the state of decay is not right, and some elders among the Goguryeo people can see it." Hu Yan seemed to come back to his senses, and an unknown blush appeared on his face, "So I found a woman to take care of the old decay." ”

"Oh!" Gongsun Du suddenly realized, it turned out to be a long-term love!

Sure enough, Hu Yan then talked about how because of the woman's care, after a few months, he finally walked out of the shadow in his heart. It's just that because of the woman's kindness, he fell in love with her deeply.

Is this a chance to enter?

After that, it was logical, Hu Yan married the woman, and then gave birth to a child. It's just that I don't know if it's a genetic problem or a technical problem, the woman finally died in childbirth, but fortunately, Hu Zi's life was saved. After that, Hu Zi grew up step by step under Hu Yan's teaching, and finally became the county magistrate of Xigaima a few years ago......

After Hu Yan finished saying this, he found that Gongsun Du's eyes were not quite right when he looked at him. There was another flash of embarrassment on his face, and finally he turned into a light cloud.

Gongsun Du admired Hu Yan's change of face, but still said: "Brother Hu, don't worry, since Hu County Ling is a little nephew, it is naturally a different matter, but Brother Hu still went to talk to him as soon as possible, and avoided it if he could." ”

Hu Yan was shocked, and hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, thank you, sir!" ”

"Then the old man will take his leave!"

"Slow down and don't send it!"

After Hu Yan left, Gongsun Du pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head, asking people to find Xu Rong.

"Tingfang, get ready, two days later, attack Sigaima."

Xu Rong frowned, he was a little worried about the lack of troops, especially now that Gao Xian needed a lot of people to suppress it. However, after thinking about it, if you have two days, you should be able to make a lot of preparations, so I responded, "Yes, my lord!" ”

Gongsun Du knew what Xu Rong was thinking just now, but he also had to do it.

He was at least ninety percent sure that he would gain nothing by talking nonsense. There must be an unknown contradiction between Hu Yan and Hu Zi, which can also be said to be a secret. Otherwise, why does no one know about the relationship between the two of them?
