Chapter 24: Sima's Choice
Therefore, the threshold of the Zhaoling Xu clan is also extremely high, so the status of the disciples under his seat is also much higher. Although Xu Pu and his father Xu Chong did not have obvious academic talents www.biquge.info they did not become famous, and their family's reputation has declined in recent years.
But if Xu Pu is willing to go out, at least it is a county order of 400 stones, and the starting position is far better than that, and then the promotion is even faster, which is the benefit of being born in a famous family. This Qiu Zhu Er's family has climbed to Xu Pu since then, and it will become a well-known family of scholars in Runan within ten years. Compared with his own fifties, he still needs to work hard to make meritorious contributions and improve the path for the Gong family, and the difference in fortune is not much.
Gong Zhang looked at Qiu Rui and Zhu Mian bitterly, and finally excavated the two talents, and wanted to become the masters of these two, and after the two became high-ranking officials in the future, they would feed and help the Gong family, but at this time they were intercepted by Xu Pu halfway. What I have given them is not as good as Xu Pu, and I don't know if the two of them remember their kindness today.
Without waiting for Gong Zhang's sad Spring and Autumn Period, Ye Hua secretly gloated on the side, Xu Pu said again: "Gong Xianjun has been in Zhaoling for several years, his performance is not bad, he is deeply respected by the people, and his heart of worrying about the country and the people is far better than mine. I am kind to Pingyu's son and brother, and I can write a book with Gong Xianjun, and when Gong Xianjun is free, you can go to Pingyu to participate in the 'Yuedan Review', and ask Zi Jiang's virtuous brother to comment on you. ”
Gong Zhang heard that he was happy to fall from the sky, and the Yuedan Commentary was presided over by Xu Jing and Xu Shao, the famous sages of the Xu family in Runan County, and it was an activity to evaluate and praise contemporary characters or poems, words and paintings. It is often published on the first day of each month, so it is called "Yuedan Commentary".
In recent years, the court has been chaotic, treacherous and evil have reigned, political corruption and chaos have erupted. In order to govern the national style, suppress evil and promote good, Erxu relied on his talent and strategy to open a forum on Pingyu Qinghe Island. On the first day of each month, the proposition is clear, commenting on the township party, praising and deprecating current affairs, not false beauty, not hiding evil, not slandering, being able to distinguish between good and bad, being able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, or in the court or in the opposition, are all in the evaluation.
After the evaluation, everyone was convinced. Anyone who is praised has a great reputation. For a while, it attracted celebrities from all over the world to come and compete for the evaluation of two promises. No matter who it is, once it is questioned, it is immediately worth a hundred times, and it is spread in the world, and it is thought to be a beautiful talk. Because of its fame, it was very prosperous. Yuan Shao Yuan, the eldest son of Yuan Shishu, the first lord of the world, such as the fourth and third princes, also took off his gorgeous public opinion clothes when he returned to Runan County, and dared to enter the county later.
If Gong Zhang's reputation is a good word, he will also be a hundred times more expensive, and his career must be smooth. Gong Zhang trembled with joy, and said secretly: I am worthy of my perennial courteous visits and greetings to the Xu family, and my hard work has finally been rewarded today, regardless of Xu Pu's white body, he hurriedly bent over and thanked him: "Gong Mou thank you Xu Jun." ”
Ye Hua hurriedly moved his fat body, squeezed to Xu Pu's side, and showed a cute smile, and Ai Ai also wanted to ask Xu Pu to write a letter to participate in the Yuedan review. I don't want to hear a loud shout in my ears: "The rear guard Qu Jun has finished gathering Qiu Yi's troops, and he is here to wait, please show the county lord." ”
When Ye Hua saw others appearing, he couldn't ask for it again, so he had to keep his mouth shut, and looked at Qiu Yi angrily, looking at Qiu Yi inexplicably. Gong Zhangzheng looked upright and said quietly: "Let's wait on the stage!" ”
Qiu Yisurong stood up and responded: "Get the order." After answering, he climbed onto the point platform and stood on one side.
As time passed, the soldiers of each song came to assemble in turn. When the Qu soldiers saw Qiu Yi, who was one step ahead, they couldn't help but be surprised. But they all tacitly didn't say anything, which was also standing quietly on one side.
After the whole army was assembled, Gong Zhang first checked the results of the drills of the soldiers in the front. Qiu Yi hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that the drills of the soldiers in front were not unusual, the same as ten days ago. It's just that it's more proficient and fluent in comparison, and the same is true for the Central Protector Military Department. The soldiers of the eighth platoon in the fourth district have finished their drills, and the next thing is Qiu Yi's guard.
Qiu Yi stood on the side of the platform, holding the order flag tightly in his hand, nervous in his heart. On weekdays, there are few people and they don't feel anything, but under the attention of thousands of people, waving the order flag, ordering the troops, and practicing military drills, this makes Qiu Yi panic. Qiu Yiqiang pinched his thighs tightly, and relieved his panic with severe pain. He took a few more deep breaths before starting the military exercise.
I saw that the order flag in Qiu Yi's hand was waved lightly, and the hundred-person phalanx under his command immediately advanced like a forest. The first is to show the marching formation, then the attacking formation, then the defensive formation, and finally the emergency gathering formation in the event of a scattered fight. All kinds of formations are practiced, chaotic and orderly, and between marches, advance and retreat freely. Seeing that Gong Zhang, the county monarch, stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, good, good, Qiu's is a good talent, and I have to be a good general." ”
When Qiu Yi finished his drill, the military exercise was nearing the end, and Qiu Qian's heavy song was left. Ye Hua saw the opportunity again and came to Xu Pu's side, wanting to ask to participate in the Yuedan Review.
I didn't want Xu Pu to take a half step back, frowned and said: "Half a month ago, County Lieutenant Ye said that Gong County Jun wanted to eliminate the Yellow Turban Moth thieves around the county border, but he was just complacent and greedy and wasted money and food. However, according to Xu's perception of these two times, the Volunteer Army has become a momentum, and it is not weaker than the county soldiers under your command, and this matter should be promising. ”
Ye Hua was stunned, he didn't want Xu Pu to help Gong Zhang speak. Xu Pu said again: "There are no yellow turban moth thieves in the county, and it is too wasteful to leave thousands of people to guard the city." If Ye County Lieutenant is really thinking about the country, he should gather the army according to Gong Xianjun's words and follow Gong Xianjun to fight. ”
Ye Hua didn't know what to say, Xu Pu frowned even more, and said: "At this time when the country is in danger, Ye County, as a military general, should bravely face the difficulties. It's just a rabble of yellow turban moth thieves, but why don't they squeak? Could it be that Lieutenant Ye really responded to the nursery rhyme: Gao Diliang will be as cowardly as a chicken? ”
In recent years, there is a nursery rhyme that says: "Show talent, don't know books." Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live. Hansu is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken. "It's about the current situation of the current officials of the imperial court. The elected talents, filial piety, lack of virtue and talent, or have no education, or do not honor their parents; The so-called innocent and humble children are just dirty things; The so-called high-class generals are actually cowardly people like chickens.
According to Ye Hua's performance on weekdays, everyone just responded to the last sentence of the nursery rhyme, and couldn't help grinning. Gong Zhangxiao is fine, Qiu Rui, Zhu Mian and the other Qu soldiers are behind Ye Hua, and Ye Hua doesn't know if he doesn't say anything. Only Qiu Yi happened to come to hand over the order, but he grinned but was just looked at by Ye Hua, which immediately caused Ye Hua to be furious. Ye Hua stared at Qiu Yi gloomily, glared fiercely, and remembered Qiu Yi's appearance deeply in his heart.
When the baggage battalion was also drilled, Gong Zhang gathered all the soldiers and generals and asked: "This official sees that this army has been completed, and wants to go out to extinguish the yellow turban moth thieves around the county border in ten days, and the main general is the official himself." However, the post of the rear army is still lacking, and there can be suitable talents among you to recommend it. "Let's just look at Qiu Yi.
Qiu Rui is mentally aware of the fact that he is about to speak, and there are many people who don't want to be hot for this job. At the beginning, Zhu Qiu's second clan had left this position to pay, and the status of everyone was insufficient, so it was difficult to compete. But now that the salary is not paid, and Zhu Qiu's second family has no other relatives to serve, they naturally want to fight. As for Qiu Yima, he is just a son-in-law, and his identity is slightly the same as that of a servant, and everyone doesn't take him seriously at all.
Jun Hou Fang Ji first said: "Yu County Jun, my brother Yanping swordsmanship is the first to summon the tomb, and he is a hero who has been rampant in Zhaoling for many years, and his prestige is extremely high, and he can be the post of the rear military commander." This remark fell, and immediately four generals agreed.
Zhu Li, the military candidate, also said: "Brother Su Heng is capable of bullfighting, very brave, good at the art of battle formation, and has a very high prestige, so he can be the commander of the rear army." This was also echoed by four generals.
Even Qiu Zhen's three sons also recommended Qiu Zhen to serve as the commander of the rear army. In the end, there were only Qiu Rui, Zhu Mian, Qiu Yi and Qiu Gong who had no words. Qiu Gong was the last general who had not yet expressed his position, his face was struggling at this time, and under the gaze of everyone, he said for a long time: "Qiu Yi, the military candidate, can be the rear army Sima!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and Qiu Gong's three brothers were even more angry. It's just that there is no one else to support this statement except Qiu Gong's recommendation, so no one objected for a while.
At this time, Zhu Mianyan said: "The Soviet army is second only to me and Brother Rui, and he can be the post of the rear army. "Except for the person who was recommended, only Qiu Rui was silent.
Qiu Rui thought for a while before he said: "Yan Ping's swordsmanship is not weak, and his prestige is also high, but he likes to fight alone, which is not good for the army." As a commander-in-chief, Jun Sima not only needs to lead the army to fight, but also needs to take care of other things, and cannot act bravely and recklessly. Yan Ping is a good candidate for the army, but he still needs to be trained for the army. Although the Soviet army can only be the military commander, the 100 cavalry soldiers under his command are the strongest combat strength of our army, and no one can do it without him, so it is inconvenient to resign. The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the heavy things in the army are also important positions, which can be said to be lowly and heavy, second only to the main general, and the non-Qiu quality army is not competent, so it is inconvenient for him to resign. ”
Gong Zhang nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, what Qiu Xian's nephew said is the words of the old man, so only Qiu Yi is left......
Ye Hua on the side said in a strange manner: "Qiu Yi, the son-in-law of the Zhu family, can't fight back, doesn't scold back, this name of cowardice and cowardice, this captain has often heard of it. The county gentleman takes this kind of ugly seed as a general, which is really clever and tight. ”
Gong Zhang looked at Qiu Yi, who was expressionless, and asked instead, "Oh? Is there any warrior in the hands of Lieutenant Ye County, can you recommend it to this official? ”
Ye Hua said with a smile: "This captain has a nephew, Ye Cun, who is good at arching and horse riding, has shot and killed tigers, and has the courage of 10,000 enemies, so he can be the commander of your army." ”
Gong Zhang grinned, since he discovered Qiu Rui and Zhu Mian's talents, there are more and more 10,000 enemy warriors in Zhaoling. I don't know if Ye Cun really has the ability to shoot tigers? However, Qiu Rui also said that Qiu Yi's archery skills are all hits, and these two may be able to compare together to see which of them is exaggerating.
