In July, the heat subsided, and between morning and evening, it was already cool.

Wang Gong was summoned by Pei Gai, left Qingzhou, and rode to Chang'an. After entering the Jingzhao territory, but seeing both sides of the road, Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, the wheat ears have been pumped, and they are waiting to raise flowers, green and green, and the growth is quite gratifying.

Wang Zici couldn't help but recall that when he first entered Guanzhong with Pei Cai, although it was already the month of Layue and the fields and valleys were harvested early, but from the perspective of the length and scope of the ridges of the four fields, the cultivated soil was far from being compared with today.

Taking advantage of the rest of his horse, he inquired about a few farmers in the fields, and learned that there were no soldiers and no conscription at this age—Pei Gai had already made a rough distinction between producers and combatants in the system, and that although Tunding also had to receive military training, he basically had no task of garrisoning, let alone easily delayed farming—and that the wind and rain were still in tune, and that he should be able to expect a good year.

"But if there is no rain for five days after the sickle is opened, then an acre can harvest a few three hundred catties of grain, and the officials will be happy, and we may be rewarded and eat some dry food."

These peasants all belong to the tun people—under normal circumstances, it is difficult to occupy the rich land in the Weishui River valley if it is not for the tun house—the tun station provides rations uniformly, basically ensuring that the tun people will not starve to death, but whether they can occasionally eat depends on the mood of the tun officials. Fortunately, in these years, if you are a tenant with someone, or even a slave on the manor, the treatment may not be as good as that of the tun, and the official family promises that after three to five years of diligent cultivation, the land can be divided - although eighty percent of it is mountainous barren land - the people of the tun are generally in a stable mood.

Of course, there was inevitably dissatisfaction, and at the inducement of Wang Gong, one of the tun people stammered and began to pour out bitter water. His family originally had two boys, one daughter, and three children, but during his previous exile, a son and a daughter starved to death, leaving only an eight-year-old son. In an ordinary farmer's house, even such a big child has to help with the work, or collect firewood, or gleaning, or even help feed some chickens and ducklings. However, chickens, ducks and large livestock are fed intensively in the camps, and children are not encouraged to go out to collect firewood......

The farmer was once burdened by his son, and was forced to whip his own children in front of the whole tun, and then punished him with four days of hard labor.

Moreover, not long ago, Chang'an issued a document requesting that all men and women who have not yet reached adulthood be gathered together and use the short time of dusk and darkness every day to teach them to read and write. The farmer pouted and said, "I am born poor, but I am satisfied if I can live, is there any good luck for the rulers?" Why be literate? Since Xiao'er listened to the school, he said things I didn't understand all day long, and he didn't take Lao Tzu seriously anymore......"

Wang Gong inquired around, and finally alarmed the soldiers, and ran over with swords and spears to inquire. The prince was not wearing official clothes, only wearing white clothes, and was forced to take out the seal ribbon from the horse's coat bag, and when it lit up, the soldiers hurriedly bowed down and called him "Shangguan".

- Good guy, it turned out to be a black ribbon, at least at the level of the county magistrate, much more noble than the yellow ribbon of Bentun Sima......

A few days later, Wang Gong finally arrived in Chang'an City, that is, he showed his seal and official documents in front of the city gate, and the gatekeeper led him to the Great Sima Mansion to pay homage to Pei Gai. Pei Gai was processing the official documents in the front hall, and immediately ordered: "You don't have to sign up, call the prince to come in." ”

Wang Gong had already changed into an official uniform at this time, immediately took off his shoes, stepped into the hall, rushed forward, and bowed: "Minister Wang Gong wishes the great Sima good health." Pei Gai smiled and waved his hand: "Zici doesn't have to be polite - please take a seat." ”

Then he asked, "When did Zici enter the city?" ”

Wang Gong sat down on the side and replied with his hand: "The ministers entered the city, and before the dust was washed, they came to pay homage to the Ming Duke." ”

Pei Gai nodded: "It shows that Zi gives loyalty and diligence, but in fact, it doesn't have to be like this." After a pause, he said, "Since I have come, I will ask a few things for the time being, and then I can go down and rest so as not to hurt your body." ”

Wang Gong asked: "Isn't it the matter of Shi Le's usurpation of the throne that the Ming Duke wants to ask?" Then he smiled: "This is not a few words, and it can be explained." ”

Regarding Shi Le's pretending to be the name of Zhao Tianwang, Pei Gai has naturally gotten the news, but the specific situation, Shi Zhao's regulations, the hundred officials he sealed, and even the various games within his group before and after, know very limited. Wang Gong is confident in the Jin family, but the news he has found is the most detailed, so if Pei should not ask about this matter, it will be fine, since he asks about this matter, I will answer you in a few words, how can you show your ability?

Pei Cai listened and nodded: "I was about to ask for advice." ”

Wang Gong said what to say, ask for advice-so he started from the persuasion of the hundreds of officials in Xiangguo, prepared everything, and started from the beginning. Pei Cai listened attentively, and when he heard Shi Huan's offering of the black rabbit and Cheng Ya's words about water virtue, he couldn't help but pout and laugh. Then Wang Gong talked about the rumor - "The two birds fall, and the day rises, and the one who dies wins, and the one who is similar wins." Pei Gai immediately waved his hand to prevent him from explaining in detail.

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "What was said before this prophecy was 'Jin', and what was said later was 'Zhao', I don't know if that's true?" ”

Wang Gong complimented and said: "Ming Gong is talented, and sure enough, he is in a word." Cheng Ziyuan didn't understand, and he had to ask Pei Jingsi for advice......"

The body of Pei Gai's soul is famous, and his father and ancestors are well-known erudite people in the world, with a family history and strict family education. However, since Pei Gai crossed over, he has been focusing on Fuding Sheji, and he has left all those text paths and even Confucian classics behind, and he has not seriously reviewed them for a long time.

It's just that if you want to interpret the rumors, most of them have little to do with the classics, especially before Pei should have a hobby of splitting words and guessing riddles - otherwise in the past in Hu Ying, he would not have used any "virgin" and "non-today" anagram hidden words to remind Pei - so for these four proverbs, after a little thought, you will understand their meaning.

He said in his heart that this proverb is actually not difficult, it is just a word splitting, and it can all be found in "Shuowen", Cheng Yao is really an uneducated layman, and he even has to go to Pei Xian for advice......

Pei Gai naturally did not believe the rumor that it was given by heaven, so his thinking diverged and speculated: "This prophecy cannot be explained, but it must be made by people who are full of learning...... Could it be that the one who understands it is the one who makes it? The implication is that Pei Xian made up this rumor himself and deliberately spread it, and then waited for Cheng Yao and Zhang Jing to come to ask for advice?

Wang Gong also suspected that this prophecy was artificially fabricated—it was not that he was not superstitious like Pei Gai, but that he did not believe that the Shi Zhao regime was really blessed by the heavens and could really bring auspicious fortune to him—but he did not suspect Pei Xian before. After listening to Pei Gai's words, he said: "Xiangguo is quite Confucian, in addition to Pei Jingsi, there are also Xun Yanshu (Xun Xuan), Xu Xiaozong (Xu Xian), Fu Shidao (Fu Chang) and other ......" Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then muttered.

Pei Gai asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Gong hurriedly handed over his hand: "The minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

If this prophecy was really created by Pei Jingsi, then its intention may be different...... Duke Ming Ren Julu, doesn't it also belong to Zhao Di? Wang Gong said as he squinted at Pei Gai's expression.

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Zici has a lot of heart, how can Pei Jingsi have such intentions?" And Julu is not Zhao Ye after all, can I say everything in the world? ”

Today's Julu County, the Warring States Period does belong to the Zhao State, but this is only a broad sense of Zhao land, generally speaking of Zhao, take its narrow sense, that is, Zhao County to the west of Julu, or even only refer to Handan City and its surrounding areas, then the people who make the prophecy will deliberately confuse the difference between the two? Pei should say that if I make a riddle, referring to Zhoudi, the widest range, but only the three rivers (Hedong, Hanoi, Henan), if in a broad sense, north of the Yangtze River, west of Qinzhou, it was not owned by Zhou Tianzi back then, can all the people in the Central Plains jump out to respond to this? How can that be true?

Do you suspect that Pei Xian pretended to support Shile, but in fact, his heart was on himself...... I don't think that the person who betrayed his ancestors can be like himself back then, "in Cao Ying, in Han in his heart". Besides, if he has the intention of rectifying, Xiang Jin still has something to say, how can he say to me? After all, I am still a Jin minister, although I am the same sect, I didn't first hint that I could get the reason of the world.

It's just that these words, Pei should not be able to say them, presumably the prince will be able to understand it if he is so sensitive.

As for Wang Gong, he had a temporary understanding, and he deliberately expressed it in front of Pei Gai, which was indeed tentative.

After all, Pei Gai's momentum has roughly been achieved, and the power is tilted towards the dynasty and the world is powerful, so the generals under his command may not have any dissent. The prince gave Pei Gai at the beginning, originally to wash away the stains of the past and find a foothold for himself, and the country and court in his heart are still owned by the Sima family. But when he followed into Chang'an that day, Pei Wei mentioned the "Doutian Wall" and listened to the truth of the proverbs, and he couldn't help but be shocked; Immediately went east to Qingzhou, in order to take advantage of the situation, so that he had a further understanding of Pei Gai's ability.

Because originally in his mind, Zhang Mengsun was only one life and two thousand stones, and the countryside was a vulgar Confucian, what could he do? With my talent, I will come up with one or two clever plans in my sleeve, and I will definitely be able to make his head different, so as to build a great contribution to the Metropolitan Governor. Who wants to exchange secret letters with Cheng Yao, and conspires in every way, although it slightly shakes Zhang Bin's foundation, it has never been able to completely separate the relationship between him and Shi Le. In addition, Shi Le was beyond the expectations of Wang Gong and the whole world, and in a short period of time, he killed Wang Jun and defeated Liu Kun, so Wang Gong sighed: "Sure enough, the master of the world, most of the governors are not deceived by me!" ”

Through contact with Cheng Yao, Wang Gongpo found out some of Pei Gai's experience in the camp back then, and thought that with such a strong Shi Le, coupled with the wise Zhang Bin, he was once played by the Metropolitan Governor, and he was half a year old, and successfully escaped - and brought an aunt, a maidservant and two women - the ability of the Metropolitan Governor is really terrifying.

Wang Zici had a different mind about this, so he tried to make a tentative speech, but seeing that Pei Gaiyun was light-hearted, there was neither anger nor joy, and it was inconvenient to go further on this topic, so he had to smile: "The minister is just thinking that if Pei Jingsi, Xun Yanshu and others are willing to repent, they may be able to use it." ”

Pei Gai shook his head and said: "They scholars, they have not achieved enough things, and they have more than enough failures, so they cannot be relied on." Although Cheng Ziyuan is a villain, now for me, the villain is more useful. ”

Then he raised his hand and motioned for Wang Gong to continue the interrupted words.

So Wang Gong recounted in detail the story of Shile's name, and before he knew it, he said that for most of the hour, the sky would be dark. On the one hand, Pei should order someone to light candles, and on the other hand, he kept Wang Gong to dine with him. Pei Gai's food was relatively simple—because he didn't like to line up dozens of dishes, and Zhong Mingding dined the aristocratic habit of eating—but the ingredients were well-prepared and well-cooked, which was enough to show his status. The prince said that I am really here, and there is a lot of treasure on the big Sima banquet, and it is not easy to find it elsewhere.

In fact, the so-called "treasures" are nothing more than the wild geese in the sky, the fox rabbits in the mountains, and the fresh fish in Weishui and the Yellow River.

After Pei Gai stabilized in Guanzhong, he took great pains to find a few chefs who were good at cooking to enter the mansion to satisfy his appetite. Originally, although she was a high-ranking official, her wife and concubine could not stay away from the cook, but Xun Guanniang's craftsmanship was really ...... He cannot hope in the man who is at his pillow.

After Wang Gong finished eating, he resigned, and Pei should be sent outside the hall, thinking repeatedly about the structure and system of the Shi Zhao regime. It seems that although Shi Le once imitated himself and separated the military and the government, in the end he still followed the traditional model of the Central Plains Dynasty to determine the official system, Cheng Yao was in the center, and his power did not fall, Zhang Bin in a sense, it was equivalent to standing aside. This matter is very good, but depending on the situation, in the future, on the battlefield, it is likely that he will have to face Zhang Mengsun.

Since Shile usurped his throne, how could the king of heaven move lightly? Under normal circumstances, he will no longer be able to "drive the expedition in person", and in the event of war, Zhang Bin is likely to lead the army on his behalf, or at least supervise the army. His own enemies, only Shi and Zhang, Shi Le, Zhang Bin is also in his fifties, is he about to die? In the original history, Zhang Bin finally became a big law enforcer, that is, he had already hung up in front of the Shile Tyrant......

Originally, Shi Le had always been called the King of Zhao, and it was not until Zhao Liu Yao was defeated that he assumed the supreme position...... Probably in 330 A.D. There are still more than ten years, and Zhang Mengsun's lifespan will be within ten years......

was thinking about it, and suddenly reported that Major General Lu Zuo and Long Shuhou Dong Biao asked for advice, and Pei Cai ordered to summon him. However, after Dong Biao came in, he refused to sit or speak, but his face was red, his hands were wringed, and his face was ashamed. Pei should urge repeatedly, and Dong Biao snorted:

"It's a trivial matter, and it shouldn't bother the governor, but ...... In the end, the governor of the capital will be drawn and the retinue will be in a hundred battles, so that there will be the glory of today, then ...... As a last resort, I have to ask the Metropolitan Governor for help......"

Pei Gai frowned slightly and asked him, "What is it?" If I don't interfere with military discipline, national law, and other requests, how can I not allow it? But it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Dong Biao finally mustered up the courage, raised his voice and pleaded: "Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor to intercede with Mr. Dong for the last general, and ask him not to refuse the last general to ...... thousands of miles away."
