Mr. Wuliu once had a poem, settled in the human realm, and there was no noise of cars and horses, asked you how to do it, and his heart was far away.

Zhang Xigao is not a hermit, but his small courtyard is also quiet and elegant, you can grow vegetables and feed chickens, you can read and write, drink the turbid wine brewed by the old woman, and eat the small fish and shrimp caught in the small river and stream, which is also leisurely.

However, Li Mi's question seemed to break all these illusions!

Yes, no matter how leisurely and comfortable he is during the day, he envies others, but at night, Zhang Xigao can't sleep.

He does not regret his remarks in the early years, he believes that Qi Jiguang has no rebellious heart, but Qi Jiguang is different from the famous generals in history, Qi Jiguang is an extremely pragmatic person, in order to achieve his own goals, he can climb Zhang Juzheng, he is fine, mellow, and will not pretend to be high.

Such a person is easy to be used by others, because he knows how to protect himself, so Zhang Xigao can be said to be right about things and not about people, he doesn't have any prejudices against Qi Jiguang, he just feels that Qi Jiguang's position and the authority in his hands are not good for the court, that's all.

However, over the years, Qi Jiguang's legacy has benefited the army, even if Qi Jiguang has died for many years, the army still follows the Qi family's army, and even regarded it as a winning classic, the prevalent in the army is still the Qi family's military training method, and the weapons and ordnance he improved and created, and even the fortifications, are still the "Great Wall" of the Ming Frontier.

After Zhang Dingsi's impeachment, Qi Jiguang has been transferred out of the north and transferred to Guangdong in the south to retire, which is said to be far away from the core of the court and no longer has much of a threat to the court.

However, Qi Jiguang conquered the Japanese in the south, resisted Mongolia in the north, boarded the ship to Jinghai, and crossed the horse to settle the desert, and he was a wise general who fought for thousands of miles, even when he arrived in Guangdong, he was not idle.

This is the third time he has entered Guangdong, the first time is to exterminate the Chaoshan Japanese Bandits, and the second time is to level the Japanese Bandit leader Wu Ping on Nanao Island.

Although the third time was degraded, in the three years in Guangdong, Qi Jiguang, as the chief military officer, "managed Guangdong affairs like thistle, so he was the first pacesetter, and the battalion was reorganized", and it seemed that he wanted to build Guangdong into a coastal thistle town!

Zhang Xigao was always uneasy, and once again took the lead in impeaching Qi Jiguang, so that the old general was deposed, and soon after he was dismissed, Qi Jiguang suddenly died.

At that time, the first assistant Zhang Juzheng had already died, no one cared for him anymore, the impeachment of civil officials, the exclusion of the court, so that his cronies were separated, and his wife also abandoned him because of the loss of his son.

When he died, there was no field in the field, and there was no room for the sac, but there were thousands of books, and he was really depressed.

Because of this, although Zhang Xigao insisted on not regretting it, he couldn't get over it in his heart, which may be the reason why he finally left the officialdom.

Li Mi had no taboos, and his almost sarcastic questions made Zhang Xigao fall into silence, he was a Taoist official, who had been immersed in the court for many years, and it was impossible not to see the officialdom and nobility of Li Mi.

So he asked Li Mi, "Who are you?" ”

Li Mi did not hide it, and told the truth: "My name is Li Mi, and I am Wu Weizhong's righteous son. ”

"You're Li Mi? You climbed Wu Weizhong, you got cheap, and you got the title of a martial arts earl, worthy of the name, where is there still the face to ridicule the old man! ”

Zhang Xigao's words suddenly exposed himself, no matter how he dressed, he couldn't become a hermit, he still paid attention to every move in the court, and still thought that he should take the world as his responsibility.

If it was ordinary, Li Mi would not bother to refute it, but this old man was too self-righteous, and he still did not repent until this time, and Li Mi had a really bad impression of him, so he snorted at him.

"Who am I leaning on? By my stepfather? My father-in-law has not been awarded the title of earl, looking at the entire court, who dares to say that my Li Mi, a martial arts uncle, relies on others? ”

Zhang Xigao is actually the same as everyone else in the court, knowing in his heart that this martial arts uncle, Li Mi is at ease when he receives it, but Li Mi is too young, in contrast, Li Chengliang Rongma has been a horse all his life, and finally mixed up with Ning Yuanbo, how many people are looking forward to the emperor taking back his life and taking away Li Mi's title!

It was precisely because Li Mi's martial arts were well deserved that Zhang Xigao was speechless, and could only play a scoundrel and give an expulsion order to Li Mi.

"Yes, there is no doubt about you, a martial arts uncle, you are just a country old, how dare you climb high, you dignified earl, don't dirty your shoes, please go back!"

Li Mi originally wanted to save this old man, but seeing such a temper, he didn't bother to talk to him, so he reminded him straight to the point.

"Your retribution is coming, when you impeached Qi Shuai, you attracted hatred, and soon someone will come to kill you, if I were you, I would still have a good meal, prepare the coffin of the shroud!"

Zhang Xigao's face also changed greatly when he heard this, his hands trembled, and after a while, he became angry again: "Are you threatening the old man!" Don't look at it, the old man has been in the court for decades, but who has he ever been afraid of! ”

Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh: "I won't tell you, if Earl Ben really wants to kill you, he still needs to talk to you like this?" ”

After saying this, Li Mi also left, it is really angry to talk to such a person, a person's words and deeds can also reflect his heart, no matter how this Zhang Xigao pretends to be light, he can't hide his lofty arrogance when he was young, and he regards the world's talents as nothing, how can such a person be honest if he doesn't suffer a loss!

As later generations said, it is not the old man who has become bad, but the bad man who has become old.

It's not that this Zhang Xigao is a good person, but that the country is easy to change his nature and difficult to change, even when he is old, he can't change such a temperament.

After Li Mi left this small courtyard, he returned to the village, Sarufei Sasuke and the others had already dispersed to set up an ambush, and Li Mi also walked around to take a look.

This village is not very big, and the villagers all smiled and nodded at Li Mi, there is not much life, it is indeed a very simple place.

However, the village is leaking on all sides, and there are entrances and exits everywhere, and if you want to catch turtles in the urn, this urn is really not easy to circle.

If they keep an eye on Zhang Xigao too closely, Qi Changkong will inevitably be alert, after all, Zhou Yu and Qi Changkong are not ordinary people, they run all the way and are at ease, and they naturally have the ability.

Li Mi walked along the village road for a short time, and saw a thatched hall at the end of the village, in which there was a faint sound of reading aloud.

Everything is inferior only to read high, which has been the most extreme embodiment in the Ming Dynasty, even in the village, there are also talents who act as Mr.'s private school or school, for this school, the common people are also thrifty, the hope of this life and even the wealth of the next life, are pinned on the child's body.

Li Mi walked to the window and found that there was a young man reading in the school, and the children shook their heads one by one, but they were also content.

When the children were able to read on their own, the young man was idle and began to write on the desk, but Li Mi was far away and the angle was not good, so he could not see what he was writing.

After a while, when the children had finished reading, the young man showed his words and read them to the children.

"The north and south gallop to report the main situation, the river lace grass smiles and laughs, three hundred and sixty days a year, all in Hengge's horse."

Perhaps the children had never read such a long sentence before, but the young man read it three times before the children memorized it.

A child sitting in the back row sniffed and asked the young man, "Sir, what do you mean by these words?" ”

The young man smiled and nodded with some satisfaction, his teeth were white and sunny, and he explained when he saw that the children were hungry and thirsty.

"This poem is about the great hero of our dynasty, the great general Qi Jiguang."

So the young man began to tell the story of Qi Jiguang, the Battle of Cen Gang, the Battle of Taizhou, the Battle of Fujian, the Battle of Xinghua, the Battle of Xianyou, the Northern Imperial Tatar, etc., and even told the children about the tiger squat cannon and so on.

This group of children in the village was fascinated one by one, their eyes were full of worship, and the snot-snotting children were enthusiastic, and said to their husband: "When I get the top prize, I must go to see General Qi!" ”

The young man smiled bitterly, just shook his head, but said: "Then you have to work hard, as long as your homework is the worst, the crickets in your pocket are not handed in!" ”

The slugs also grinned, and the children laughed, and the school was full of joy, and this atmosphere lasted until the end of the hall, and the young gentleman returned the crickets to the slugs, and watched the children fight for a while, and took out some caramel from their arms, and distributed them to the children, and the children scattered to play.

At this time, the young gentleman noticed Li Mi and greeted Li Mi: "The countryside makes this friend smile." ”

It can be seen that this young man has also seen the world, otherwise he would not be able to see Li Mi's temperament.

Li Mi also smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Tai is entertaining and teaching, but it is much better than those old masters." ”

When the young man heard Li Mi's praise, he also shook his head humbly, and said with a smile: "I am under Zhang Nayan." ”

"Li Mi." Li Mi also gave his hand as a courtesy, but the young man was a little surprised, and said to Li Mi: "It turns out that you are a martial arts uncle, but you are being rude, I don't know how the lord came to such a small place?" ”

Li Mi waved his hand: "Don't be so restrained, I'm also here to visit a friend, but ...... Friends weren't at home, so walk around and have a look......"

Zhang Nayan is also a clever person, so naturally he won't go on, just a greeting, and at this time he just nodded, and said to Li Mi: "If Wu Gongbo doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to the cold house and sit down, drink tea, and wait for your friend?" ”

Li Mi thought about it, after all, he wanted to find out about the situation in the village, and this teacher must know that every family must know that it should be good to find him, so he nodded and agreed.

"I don't think my husband is very old, why didn't he take the exam?" While walking, Li Mi also opened the topic.

Zhang Nayan was a little reluctant to speak, and finally said: "It's good to teach and educate people here......"

Li Mi also shook his head and smiled: "But whoever admires heroes, how can they be willing to be lonely, Mr. respects Qi Shuai so much, he must be interested in the court and trapped in the countryside, isn't it a condescending talent?" ”

Zhang Nayan finally smiled bitterly and said to Li Mi: "This matter...... Don't mention it...... Although this village is not big, the villagers are good, watching these children grow day by day, the taste is also something that others can't experience......"

At this point, Li Mi couldn't go on, so he took advantage of this topic to ask some things in the village, and while chatting, he gradually walked to Zhang Nayan's house, but Li Mi stopped.

Because he finally knew why Zhang Nayan didn't take the exam, because he had an old-fashioned father, a father who no longer had the heart to go to court and didn't want his son to suffer in the court!

I didn't expect Zhang Xigao to have such an outstanding son, so it seems that this Zhang Xigao is not too bad.
