On that day, Wang Mi rushed to Luoyang City, Liu Yao had the highest status, and as the commander-in-chief, he was one step behind, and he was very unhappy in his heart. Immediately, Wang Mi suggested that Luoyang was in the middle of the world, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the city and palace were also complete, so he should make a proposal to the Han lord Liu Cong and move the capital from Pingyang to Luoyang. Liu Yao did not agree, saying that the world has not yet been pacified, Luoyang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, it is difficult to defend, and it is not suitable to move the capital at present.

So far, it is still a normal policy debate between colleagues, but Liu Yao was annoyed with Wang Mi, and said in his heart If you go to play through me, after Liu Cong's stupid boy listened to your words, he really moved to Luoyang, then I have no face! Simply, I set the Luoyang Palace on fire, so that you don't have to move!

So he set fire to the palace, causing a large number of books and classics in Chongwen Academy, Dongguan, Shiqu Pavilion and other places to be reduced to ashes...... Wang Mi was furious and cursed: "Tu Gezi, how can the emperor's intentions be evil? "- Tu Ge is the name of the Xiongnu tribe, it is said that this department is the most valuable, and the successive dynasties of Shan Yu are all from this department-and then simply lead the troops to the east, run to Xiangguan to settle down, the meaning of division is extremely obvious.

Pei should have read these things in the history books before, and he was saddened by the cultural catastrophe during the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty, which caused many ancient classics to be lost, and later generations could only find some sporadic chapters from other books - for example, the original simplification of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", such as "Lu Shi", and many Han Confucian commentaries on the Confucian classics and the "Book of Han...... There is a point of view that the reason why the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties were so popular was that in addition to the political darkness, guilt at every turn, and scholars did not dare to speak falsely, there was also an important reason, that is, most of the classics of the previous generation were lost, resulting in the lack of academic accumulation of scholars, so they had to talk nonsense in the vernacular, or focus on the learning of Lao Zhuang, who was chattering about the gods......

Although this matter is very distressing, with Pei Gai's current position, he can't prevent the catastrophe from happening at all, and the souls from later generations also tell him that there will be a catastrophe at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the end of the Song Dynasty, and the end of the Ming Dynasty...... However, Chinese culture has always been tenaciously passed down through the ages, and gradually evolved, so that Liu Yao can burn China with that fire-even the Mongols can't do it, how old is he?

So Pei Gai didn't think about what books Zhang Bin would snatch out of the fire, and the reason why he was anxious to ask in person, and then jumped to his feet and scolded, was completely out of consideration...... However, when I heard Zhang Bin say that he really snatched out three cars of classics, it was really unexpected. When he entered Shile's big tent, he seemed to be furious and scolded "Hu'er", which was purely acting - he didn't know the vernacular, and he also knew what kind of cultural level Shile was, if he really wanted Shile to understand, how could there be so many allusions and literary language? Even if it seems that the spearhead is not specifically aimed at Shi Le, if you really scold him so that he understands everything, he must jump on the spot; But if he doesn't understand, he has to ask Zhang Bin to explain, and it won't be so easy to get angry......

Besides, aren't you glad that I helped you do a lot of things in Xuchang? I don't think I'll turn to anger so quickly.

Pei Cai looked at Shi Le coldly, and said in his heart that he is not a cultural person after all, and your acting skills are not of the same level. Look at me doing a show, even Zhang Bin can't see it, you are still pretending to be "is it so serious", and the word "fake" is revealed from your bones. You're not a little fresh meat, your performance level is so clumsy, who is willing to cheer?! However, at present, you are the king, and we are the ministers, Zhang Bin will definitely support you, and I have to answer the call to help you with your work, and I have to pretend to be in tears, as if I am really happy and convinced of you from now on.

Shile wants to be Chinese, and this Pei should believe it. In these years, Chinese culture has radiated to the four regions, I am afraid that except for those Xianbei barbarians who are far away in the north, there are few Hu people who do not regret that they were not born in China - even the most barbaric Tuoba Xianbei, who later became the Central Plains for a few generations, didn't Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty also rush to implement the Sinicization policy? However, Shile's heart as a Chinese is definitely not as big as the heart of being a monarch, and if he had to choose between a Chinese general and a Yidi monarch, he would definitely choose the latter. Zhang Bin wants to guide Shile to be the lord of China, the problem is that this road is too difficult, if you want to be the lord of China, can you not read Chinese characters? Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were from humble backgrounds, and later they were both devout and learned, and they were coarse in writing and ink, right?

However, according to the historical records, Shile listened to and heard all his life, and never refused to learn to read and write by himself......

Therefore, you can't be a Chinese at all, and I won't assist a self-willing barbarian, or at least have the opportunity to learn but be self-willingly illiterate!

Both sides are acting, the difference is that Shi Le and Zhang Bin thought that Pei should be sincere and angry, and later surrendered sincerely, Pei should know that at least Shi Le didn't pay much attention to the burning of the classics, and was purely pretending to be an elephant. When the drama of "Junming and Chenxian" was finished, the conversation began to get to the point, Shi Le asked us what to do next, and Pei Cai opened his mouth and it was all nonsense:

"You can't live here for a long time, you can't go to the west, you can't go to the north, you can't go down to the south, if you don't go east, where else can you go?"

After he said these words to Shi Le, he turned around and begged Zhang Bin, saying that you grabbed the three cars of classics, can you give them to me? I'm going to tidy it up. Zhang Bin nodded again and again: "When it comes to learning, we are bound to be inferior to Pei Lang, and those classics should belong to Pei Lang." Pei Gai shook his head and said: "How can books inherit knowledge belong to one person?" I'm just managing it for the time being, and I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to copy and distribute it widely in the future. ”

Shi Le was about to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Bin secretly giving him a look, and then the two of them said goodbye to Shi Le and withdrew from the tent. Zhang Bin called his subordinates and asked them to deliver the three cars of classics to Pei Gai, Pei Gai seemed to be a little excited, and hurriedly followed the comer, and Zhang Bin returned to the account.

I saw that Shi Le was still frowning there, looking up to the sky, thinking about something. Seeing Zhang Bin coming back, Shi Le hurriedly beckoned him to come closer, sat down in front of the desk, and then asked in a low voice, "My attitude is very sincere, right?" I see that Pei Lang's anger has also disappeared, and I thought that he really surrendered to me, how could I ask him about his future, but he only said the word 'to the east'? Does he still refuse to plan for me? ”

Zhang Bin arched his hand at Shi Le, and said with a smile: "The minister congratulates the Ming Gong, and the Ming Gong has won Pei Lang's heart!" ”

Shi Le raised his eyebrows: "Oh, how can you see it?" ”

Zhang Bin said: "Everyone has desires, only know their desires, and then you can win their hearts." What is the desire of the minister? Willing to do a great career for Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, assist Ming Jun, then Ming Gong is magnificent, heroic and decisive, and naturally can make the ministers sincerely assist. So what is Pei Lang's desire? In order to save his aunt, he could only make Pei Lang stay, but he couldn't make Pei Lang really make suggestions for Ming Gong, and the minister had been thinking about how to win Pei Lang's heart. Unexpectedly, King Shi'an caught fire, but he helped Ming Gong solve this problem......"

Shi Le seemed to understand: "Please Mr. Zhang speak more clearly and clearly." ”

"Listening to Pei Lang's words in the past, it is not worth the Jin family, but he also doesn't like the Hu people, with this kind of psychology, there is probably only one way to return to his hometown and live in seclusion. However, he is proud to be a Chinese and a reader, and he absolutely does not want China's statutes and the words and teachings of saints to be destroyed. That's why King Shi'an burned the palace and burned books, which made him so angry. But as soon as Ming Gong said that he wanted to be a Chinese, and wanted to preserve and inherit the rules and regulations, words and teachings, Pei Lang's heart naturally became close to Ming Gong......"

"I see," Shi Le couldn't help but frown, "thanks to Mr. Zhang who snatched out the three carts of books." ”

Zhang Bin smiled faintly and said: "I just like to read, not from a family, and there are not many books in my family, so I passed by Shiqu Pavilion that day, so I made a temporary decision and pulled out three carts of books...... I don't want to be able to collect Pei Lang's heart for Ming Gong because of this. Could this be the providence of the Illuminators? That's why the minister congratulates Ming Gong! ”

"In that case," Shi Le's smile suddenly narrowed, "why did Pei Lang only say the word 'to the east'?" ”

"This is the minister's fault," Zhang Bin bowed his head slightly, "Before the expedition, the minister talked to Pei Lang about the general trend of the world, because he just said it casually, so he did not report it to Ming Gong in detail." Pei Lang once said that the place of the four wars in Xuchang is difficult to hold for a long time; The road to the west is dangerous and narrow, and Guanzhong is still in the hands of the Jin people, and Bashu is stealing for the Li family, which is easy and rare; Needless to mention going north, where is the capital located, where is there room for development? As for going south, the previous defeat of the Ming Gong plot against Xianghan has proved that this road is impassable. Therefore, there is only one way to go east......"

"Then why didn't he go into detail, only saying that he couldn't go to the west, couldn't return to the north, couldn't go down to the south, and where could he go if he didn't go east?"

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "Xuchang can't be held for a long time, and the west, north, and south can't go, Pei Lang has already said it to the minister, and he must think that the minister has reported to the Ming Duke, so he doesn't want to say it - the son of the other family is naturally a little arrogant." As for Xiangdong, now Wang Zan and Gou Xi are blocking the way, they are all Jin generals, he once said, 'Descending stones do not descend to Han', and he refused to plot to fight with the Jin army, and he had just returned to the Ming Dynasty, so it was naturally inconvenient to go back on his word - in time, he would be willing to say it clearly. ”

When Shi Le heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "The family is full of flowers, if I don't have Mr. Zhang, where can I understand that there are so many meanings in his simple sentence!" ”

——————————

Zhang Bin talked to Shi Le, and seemed to have a thorough understanding of Pei Gai's psychology. Of course, he also has something to hide, Pei Gai once said: "Handan, Xiangguo, and the old capital of Zhao are also, relying on the mountains and taking risks, it is a real country of victory, and you can choose these two cities and capitals." Zhang Bin didn't mention this important sentence at all.

Why? One of Pei Gai's "ideas" coincided with Zhang Bin, who was unwilling to take all the credit for Pei Gai's advice, but wanted to leave it for the right opportunity to put forward this important suggestion to Shi Le; Secondly, now that the army is still in Xuchang, Hebei is far away, and the local situation is unclear, it is not a good time to propose. Otherwise, if Shile asked: You said to go to Handan and Xiangguo, then how should you go? Who do we hit first and then whom? How should Zhang Bin answer?

There are also Wang Zan and Gou Xi in front of them, and Wang Mi's movements are unknown—he has not yet arrived at Xiangguan at this time—and it is likely that he will threaten the eastward advance of Shile's army from the flank, and when he can really fight a bloody way to Hebei, who knows what the situation will be at that time? No matter how scheming Zhang Bin is, if he can calculate ten or twenty moves, it can't be counted as a chess game outside a hundred moves.

On that day, Pei should only show the vision, but did not want to plan specifically, how could Zhang Bin be willing to take the trouble himself?

However, the reason why Pei Gai only said the word "to the east" was really not as Zhang Bin thought, he did not want to be hostile to the Jin army, so he refused to elaborate on the steps to the east and where he would eventually go, purely because he knew that Shile would eventually set the capital of Xiangguo and build a foundation, and if history followed the original trajectory, he could still use "prophetic foresight" to learn from it; If it is because of a few more words of his own mouth, Shi Le's development direction or approach has changed, then his eyes will be completely blackened in the future!

So, pretending to be profound, but just a few words—what I mean by what I say, you can make up for it yourself.

As for how Zhang Bin and Shi Le made up their brains, Pei should not care, he followed Zhang Bin's subordinates to find the three carts of books from the army, glanced at them roughly, and was somewhat disappointed. Originally, when I heard about the "three cars" book, I felt that there were quite a lot, but there were no eight-wheeled big trucks in these years, and ordinary carriages carrying goods could generally pull three or five hundred catties of things, plus Zhang Bin "grabbed" all the brochures and plates, and the number of words that could be carried was even more pitiful - it is estimated that two hundred volumes are up to the sky. In Pei Gai's previous life, the e-books stored in his mobile phone were several times more than these three car classics in terms of word count.

Of course, the number of books in this year is not much, but according to historical records, the royal collection of books in Luoyang City of the Western Jin Dynasty, the total amount is about 30,000 volumes, after the "Yongjia Rebellion", half of Thailand is scattered, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is re-counted, but it is only one-tenth of the tenths that remains. As for what Zhang Bin gave to Pei Gai this time, it was less than one percent......

It's better to talk than nothing, so Pei Gai took the three carts of books back to his residence. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, Yun'er came to summon him, and Pei had no choice but to leave the book first and enter the main room to meet Pei. As expected, Pei Shi asked him in detail about the situation of Shi Le's summons, and when he heard Pei Gai say that he jumped to his feet and scolded "Hu'er", he couldn't help but turn blue, and hurriedly admonished him: "Wenyue, since you are in the human scene, how can you be so rude and formless? If you touch the beard...... Their anger is only afraid that the head will not be able to be saved! ”

Pei should know that Pei is worried about himself, and he wants to tell his true thoughts to the other party - one is to comfort Pei, everything is in my nephew's plan and under my control, and my aunt does not need to be afraid; At the same time, he just acted in a good show almost perfectly, and he also had some desire to express and show off. It's a pity that now the partition wall has ears - the two old, two young and four servants, maybe who is lying outside the window eavesdropping!

In the past, when Pei should talk to Pei, when it comes to his true thoughts, he often borrows old classics, or half-talked, and the other party guesses, but this time the matter is more complicated, unless he is prepared to explain, Pei will definitely not understand...... In desperation, I had to grit my teeth and swallow all the words in my stomach.

He just smiled and said to Pei's family: "My nephew was angry for a while, which led to his unscrupulous words, but fortunately, the lord was magnanimous, and Zhang Mengsun eased his cheeks from the side, so he was fine." My aunt learned that my nephew should be more cautious in his words and deeds in the future, so that my aunt would not worry about her nephew anymore. As he spoke, he quietly threw a look at Pei.

At this moment, Pei Xiong's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "General Xiaozhi is here to worship." ”
