Volume 3: A Generation of Tianjiao - Chapter 24: Li Bin's Choice (4)

Li Bin lost his wife in middle age, and has never remarried, on the one hand, there are frequent wars, Yanzhou is located on the border, and most of the female books of the family have a strong political background. On the other hand, it is also for a pair of children. Li Bin is a serious Confucianist, and belongs to the most primitive Confucian school of management in the branch of Confucianism, this school not only regards Dong Zhongshu's Spring and Autumn righteousness as a betrayal, but even Meng Shu thinks that it is the left way, and does not think of the two sets of official records of the first teacher and the first saint class (Confucius Shu and Yan Hui/Confucius Shu and Zhou Gong).

The various schools of Confucianism, in the respect of the ancestors are highly consistent, recognize Confucius as the first teacher, but on the issue of the ancestors have never been able to unify their thoughts, although the Zhou Gongdan who made rituals and music was officially recognized, and once set up a temple to worship, but the status is not stable, even Yan Hui, who was born as a disciple of Confucius, was able to usurp the class and seize power during the Zhenguan years, and squeezed the tablet of the old man of Zhou Gong to the Wuwang Temple to eat cold pork, which shows that the issue of the selection of the first saint is a huge political issue for the Confucian authorities.

The Guan Confucian faction is a primary school among the Confucian schools, which can be regarded as a faction that respects the primitive and relies on the power of art in words and deeds. In addition to recognizing Confucius as the first teacher, this faction recognized Zhong as the first sage, according to Li Bin's own words, that is, to use the study of Confucius to establish the Tao through the world, and to use the skills of the middle father. The most typical style of this school is the promotion of monogamy.

Monogamy in that era was actually monogamy and multiple concubines, and there could only be one main wife (the so-called two-headed saying has always been criticized by husband and scholars), but the more concubines the better. However, the Guankong faction followed the most primitive monogamous doctrine and resolutely opposed any form of occasional marriage and abusive marriage. Therefore, although this faction does not prohibit concubines, it is forbidden to have scholars with concubines. On the one hand, in order to ensure that the status of the concubine is not violated, on the other hand, it contains the most primitive eugenics and eugenics---- concubine's status is low, and there are some problems with education and nutrition, and these congenital unfavorable factors may be inherited to the scholar.

Therefore, although some people in this school also take concubines, they will never have scholars with concubines, while Li Bin and other free-spirited schools are even more extreme, although there is no lack of lingering in flowers when they are young. There were occasional affairs after marriage, but there was only one bad wife in the family, and she didn't even have a concubine. This is known to everyone in Yanzhou officialdom.

A pair of scholar girls by Li Bin. Changshu Li Jingcun turned 19 years old this year. Kaichun has just been married. The bride is the daughter of a fallen famous family, the youngest daughter of the late Jin Dynasty Sang Weihan, and her name is Kojishu. Originally, he was born as a koji scholar. Li Bin will not take it as the eldest daughter-in-law candidate, but in the early years, when Sang Weihan was powerful, the two had a marriage contract for their children, and as a result, the Khitan went south, and Sang Weihan's whole family was killed, leaving only a young daughter who was less than ten years old to escape the catastrophe and was fostered in the countryside by relatives. Bento nodded immediately. The book of life married the mulberry koji book.

Li Bindi's youngest daughter, Li Zhuohua, just turned 15 years old this year. In the era of Li Wengedi, this age was still an authentic "young girl", but in the third year of Guangshun in the 10th century AD, this age was already a full "year of harmony". With Li Bin's current powerful status in Yanzhou, there are many matchmakers who come to the door to ask for relatives. First, I have been very busy in the past two years, and secondly, my daughter is not the same children's book, once she marries the wrong man, it will be a lifelong thing, so Li Bin has been waiting and hesitating. (UC eBook & First & Released)

In the city of Yanzhou, the Han family and the Wang family have all come to the door to propose marriage, but Li Bin has always been respectful of the deep mansions and compounds of these families; There are also matchmakers who come to the door to propose marriage to the businessman of Chen Shutong's family, Li Bin refused without thinking about it, although he is not old-fashioned, but how many years of the habit of despising businessmen can be turned over so easily? In Li Bin's heart, although he does not think that businessmen are synonymous with uselessness and uselessness like Confucianism, he always feels that scholars are willing to enter the side door when they do business. Even if a daughter can't marry into an official family, she must always marry a serious scholar.

What's more, in the little girl's heart, she seems to have a vague idea, although Li Bin is not very sure of this idea, but the shadow is still a little bit of it.

Although that person is not a scholar, after all, he knows the roots, and judging from the current situation, he is in a posture of rising all the way......

Although the background is a little worse, it is not a big deal......

Prime Minister Li Bin was "recuperating" at home while thinking about the marriage of his children, and Li Bin was really too lazy to pay attention to the Yanzhou officialdom that has now become a mess.

As soon as the children's book ghost appeared in the study today, Li Bin frowned, and he opened his mouth to stop the children's book who was about to slip away: "Dabi is coming, why don't you study your homework in your own study, just walk around me?" ”

Li Jingcun shrunk his neck and said timidly: "Wenzhou Judge has come to greet him again, can't you see your father?" ”

Li Bin's face sank: "What did I say yesterday?" If he comes again, just block it back! Didn't you hear clearly? ”

Li Jingcun looked at his father hesitantly, and only after a while did he muster up the courage to say: "How can you say it, it seems that my father should save a little dignity for him......"

Li Bin was taken aback, he raised his head and looked at his children's book, which he had never been able to pick up, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, stood up and closed the door of the study, and asked in a low voice but extremely sternly: "Who taught you to say these words?" ”

Li Jingcun hurriedly shook his head: "Father misunderstood, this is Ershu's own thoughts, it is necessary for Brother Wen to come to the door during the New Year's Festival, speaking of which, he respects his father more than Brother Shujian." In this matter, although it is not clear who is who is not for a while, my father sees him, listens to what he says, reprimands him or comforts him, and always completes the friendship between teachers and students......"

Li Bin looked at his children's book with blazing eyes, completely ignored his words, and asked coldly: "What benefits does the article promise you?" You're going to speak for him? ”

Li Jingcun trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Wenzhou didn't give anything to the children's book, the children's book just felt that he was very wronged by yesterday's incident." The Chen family bullied people, and they also bullied them a little harder, and they even coerced the troops to go in......"

"Fart ----!" Li Bin slapped his mouth on Li Jingcun's face, "The police of the Public Security Section don't disturb the city order, and they don't take the soldiers of the regimental training department, how dare Ling Pu openly meddle in local affairs?" The article is so stupid, and it is also appropriate to suffer a little. Do you still need to be upset for him? ”

Li Jingcun argued: "But...... It was those who said the order that the ancestors first fell into the face of the civil officials of the state in front of the public, and the Wenzhou judgment was forced to send the police! ”

"Who are those ancestors?" Li Bin asked coldly. ^^ eBook ^^

Li Jingcun was speechless.

"Those ancestors are exempt from the preliminary examination in the name of Jiedu Mansion and directly participate in this year's autumn Shishu, once they are shortlisted for the re-examination. They are the scholars of Qiuyi. Those who want to be transferred to various states and counties. They are future magistrates, and they actually sent the police to arrest people...... If the article wasn't a ghost, how could it do such a stupid thing? You still talk for him---- where do you read all the books on weekdays? ”

Li Jingcun opened his mouth. But this time he didn't say anything, Li Bin asked coldly: "How are you practicing arithmetic?" ”

"The law, the poems, the history...... None of this is difficult, but this is the only way to do it...... Father, the children's book does not do the accounting room, it is really ...... to learn these methods of calculation" Li Jingcun looked embarrassed.

Li Bin's expression was cold: "If you don't fix this plan, don't think about entering the top three in this department......"

At this moment, an old family's voice sounded outside the door: "Return to the master, Jingzhong Tao Shilang, please see ...... outside the door."

Li Bin was taken aback. turned around and glared at the children's book fiercely: "Go back to the study to read." Don't worry about the outside world! ”

After that, he turned around and instructed his family members outside the door: "Bring my official robes to ......."

Li Bin was wearing a purple robe and jade belt. Kneeling behind the incense case, he listened to Tao Gu read out the book in a subdued voice.

“…… In order to show virtue, comfort the government, the golden seal purple ribbon, Baiyanzhou observed the Tongzhong Shumen under the Ping Zhangshi Li Bin as the servant, inspected the school Taishi, sealed the skin of the county duke, and Yin Qishu was stored as the Taishu Shu, Qing Qin obeyed the order, and the benefit was sincere. Can. ”

After listening to this, Li Bin kowtowed three times and shouted long live, stood up and took over the book.

Tao Gu said with a smile on his face: "In the public worship service of Feng County, the literary quality will be ranked by the Seven Grades Observation within a year, and the luck is so good that even the foolish brother is envious!" ”

Li Bin smiled reluctantly, and then asked, "For General Huairen, is there a reward from the imperial court?" ”

Tao Gu said: "Yes, the rebellion in Qingzhou has been pacified, and the general of the right guard of the Huairen inspection school has been added, and the government position can not be added anymore. ”

Li Bin listened, his heart was slightly relieved, Huo Guogong's title and the title of inspector Taiwei were all returned, and with the dispatch of Ping Zhangshi, Li Wenge became one of the envoys, although this reward was still lighter than that he had done nothing, but it was comprehensive, it can be seen that Chai Rong did not want others to say that he was mean and stingy on this issue, and he still used his heart to reward Li Wenge.

He thought for a while and said, "Brother Xiushi, the position of the servant, and the Taishu Sheyin official of the dog book, I must resign, I will fix the watch immediately, and you will bring it back for me to transfer the Chinese book!" ”

Tao Gu hesitated for a moment, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Bin, Li Bin suddenly worshiped as a servant with an observation of the bottom book, and shaded a book, he wanted to be humble is the proper meaning of the question, and nodded at the moment and said: "I can transfer the chapter, as for whether the emperor and the Zhongshu are allowed or not, it is not something that the old man can expect!" ”

He paused and said, "There is no need to rush to repair the watch, I still have a text here, which was sent to Qin Shujian, and the quality of the text can be ordered to send him to listen to the order......"

Li Bin was stunned for a moment: "Even Shujian has been rewarded?" ”

Tao Gu nodded: "The reward proposed by Zhongshu, Qin Shujian was promoted to the ...... of Gyeongju Observation Envoy"

Li Bin's heart suddenly twitched, and he eagerly asked, "Is there anyone else?" ”

Tao Gu nodded lightly: "I am only responsible for announcing the system to Li Huairen, Wen Qianyou, and Qin Shujian, and the military generals are to be announced by Jing Fan, the privy councilor, and to Zhou Zhengyu and Shen Chen, and the two ......generals of Zhou Zhengyu and Shen Chen."

"What ----?" Li Bin suddenly screamed.

Tao Gu looked at him and said softly: "Zhou Zhengyu worships the envoy of the Zhangwu Army, and Shen Chen worships the envoy of the Difficult Army, and they all have to be awarded the festival, but since there are you and Li Huairen in Yanzhou." There is no need to make a big fanfare, Jing Fan has already taken the book-making festival up the mountain......"

"It's broken......" Li Bin screamed.

"What's wrong?" Tao Gu asked puzzled.

"What is Wei Xun sealing?" Li Bin didn't answer his question, but asked first.

"Wei Xun Fengqingzhou Defense Envoy ......"

"Who else?" Li Bin's face was extremely ugly, but his tone was extremely cold.

"Fold Yuqing to promote the defense envoy of Xiazhou, and Lu Xun to promote the regimental training envoy of Youzhou...... There is also that party member of the fine sealing clan, Xu his family's hereditary Xiazhou regiment training envoy ......" Tao Gu looked at Li Bin in surprise, and said the content of the reward one by one.

"Bang ----" Li Bin slapped his palm on the case.

Tao Gu was stunned: "Wen Qian, what are you ......?" ”

"Brother Xiushi. Does King Jin have a grudge against you? Li Bin did not answer his question, but asked a sentence that was irrelevant.

"Although I have no relationship with the King of Jin, I can't talk about enmity...... Why is Wen Zhen so questioned? Tao Gu looked at Li Bindi's back in confusion and said incomprehensibly, Li Bin sneered and asked, "Since there is no hatred." Why did Chai Rong send you to Yanzhou to die? ”

The military structure of Yanzhou is currently in the period of post-determination and difficulty.

After the end of the military on the Xia side of the state. Shen Chen led the Yanchuan Independent Regiment and the Left Battalion of the Security Cavalry Regiment to carry out a comprehensive strategic development on the front line of the Qiwu Mountains with the cooperation of the Xiazhou Regiment Training Envoy Jing Hai. On the one hand, the troops were being trained, and on the other hand, the Lingzhou cavalry on the Yanzhou Baichi side was monitored and harassed. The right battalion of the Fushi Infantry Regiment and the Security Cavalry Regiment led the Fushi Infantry Regiment and the Right Battalion of the Security Cavalry Regiment to the north along the Yellow River valley on the east side of Yinsui, passing through the territory of the Zheyang two families, and Li Wenge's order to this team was to go north along the Yellow River. All the way to the Hetao Plain, with the hometown of Jiuyuan County Woye Town as the center of the implementation of the strategy, Li Wenge's task to Xifeng Minda is to take the Zhejia as the strategic rear, within six months to a year, completely expel or subjugate the Dangxiang, Khitan, Hui and other ethnic tribes in the pasture pasture.

He had taken 1,500 cavalry troops, which was not a strong force strictly speaking, but for a fertile land that had not yet formed an effective political system. The number of this battle-hardened expeditionary force was small. However, it has an overwhelming advantage in weaponry and morale.

Shen Chen also has almost so many troops in his hands, and he can also promote and command the Xiazhou regiment of nearly 800 people under Jing Hai's command to train their arms. The total strength of the army is about 2,300 people, but there is a certain gap between the Yanchuan Independent Regiment and the Fushi Infantry Regiment in terms of combat effectiveness, and the training of the 800 regiments is completely a number, so although the total number of troops is more than that of Xifeng Minda, the order given to him by Li Wenge is to act on cameras, and the main strategic purpose is to monitor and harass the Shuofang army, and never engage in a strategic decisive battle with the enemy unless it is compelled to do so.

At present, the troops stationed in Yanzhou include the independent cavalry battalion of the Yan'an Infantry Regiment and the Security Cavalry Regiment, with a total strength of 1,300 cavalry, plus a reserve strength of nearly 2,000 people in the eight regimental training battalions commanded by Ling Pu.

Gyeongju, as the most important prefecture and county outside Yanzhou within the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army, does not have any field troops stationed at present, only the four regiments under the command of Li Hu are guarded by nearly 1,000 armed forces---- but Li Hu recruited 100 cavalry from Ye Ji's family to kill Niu Jia as regimental cavalry, so although Gyeongju does not have a field army, it has a cavalry scout force of 200 people.

In fact, there are two tribes who have killed cattle and Yeji, Li Wenge is not too worried about the defense of Gyeongju, and in the case that the main force of the Yan'an regiment has returned to the division, if Zhang Jianwu of Ningzhou dares to make a move against Gyeongju, Li Wenge is absolutely sure that Gyeongju will also be turned into his own territory within a month.

Lu Xun was the worst in the regimental training in the four states, he, the military and political chief of Youzhou, only brought two regimental training battalions that were dissatisfied with the establishment to develop and sit in Youzhou, including his civilian staff team, this team was less than 500 people.

Therefore, when Jing Fan, the privy councillor of the imperial court and the squire of the Ministry of Works, arrived at Fenglin Mountain and summoned the generals to read the edict, the big leaders of the Eighth Route Army, such as Li Wenge, Shen Chen, Xifeng Minda, Lu Xun, and Li Hu, were basically not there. In the end, the Eighth Route Army Sima Zhou Zhengyu led the generals to listen to the seal, kneeling behind Zhou Zhengyu was the director of the army Wei Xun, and kneeling beside Wei Xun was the Zhi Yuqing, who acted as the agent of Yu Housi's affairs.

After listening to the content of the reward, Zhou Zhengyu's face was full of confusion, but Zhi Yuqing was frightened into a cold sweat, raised his head and looked at Jing Fan, the edict envoy, a little confused.

Wei Xun, who was still lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and gurgled his teeth, which made people shudder in the ears of the brothers.

The great grace, no one thanked him, Jing Fan was a little puzzled, this old qualified squire couldn't help frowning, raised his eyes to look at these Qiu Ba who were dressed in unusual clothes, and said: "The generals refuse to thank you? Why? ”

Zhou Zhengyu shuddered, the old Zhou generation had never encountered such a thing, and he hesitated and wanted to thank him first, but Wei Xun had already taken the first step to stand up.

Wei Xun arched his hand at Jing Fan: "Jing Shilang forgive me, the people who are soldiers are rough and can't read and write, and I can't understand these many twists and turns, I can't understand it, please wait for the time being in the army for a while, and wait for my family to turn around, and then it's not too late to announce the edict!" ”

After that, this underworld military leader didn't wait for Jing Fan to answer, and beckoned to the captain of the pro-soldiers: "You go and arrange the food and lodging of the envoys, and be responsible for the security and guards, anyone, etc., without the order of my supervising military division, dare to approach the envoys without authorization, and ......kill them on the spot."
