Volume 1: The Age of Chaos – Chapter 10: The Turning Point of History (4)

The father of the family will turn around later, so that Han Yanei will be a long time, but it is disrespectful

Chen Su said as a salute to Han Wei.

When she first saw Han Wei, she was also startled by the strange appearance of this Yanei, but she immediately calmed down, saluted and spoke calmly, and then walked to the lower position on the other side and sat down, picked up the teacup and said: "My father and brother-in-law have not returned from going out, so I can only serve tea on behalf of the little woman, and please don't be surprised by the Yanei." ”

Although the exaggerated era of women frequently attending the social circle of the upper class and even taking the glory of many lovers in the early Tang Dynasty has passed, it is still common for women to show up in front of people. In the absence of the father and the men in the family, it is not uncommon for the daughter to come forward to entertain the guests. This is an era when even the traditional concept of chastity has not yet been formed, and the martyrs praised in this concept are not those ignorant women who have cleanliness so much that they are so ashamed that they want to cut off their whole hands when they are touched by a strange man, but Wei Wuji, who holds a brick in his hand and slaps his father's killer to death on the spot at a public banquet.

Therefore, although Han Wei was slightly surprised when he saw that it was a woman entertaining guests at the beginning, he did not feel that there was anything wrong. To his slight surprise, although Chen Su seemed to be stunned by his hunchback when he first saw him, he immediately turned pale as usual, and did not have the natural reaction of disgust and fear when his daughter's family saw an ugly man, but sat politely and served tea; What's even more difficult is that this woman never dodges her eyes. A calm and calm look.

The beauty was on the side, and Han Wei, who had been sore and tired all over the body after a day of running, suddenly became energetic again, and he smiled and arched his hand: "It was Han who came abruptly and disturbed the Chen family's lady." ”

Chen Su said softly, "Don't dare", and then said, "Have you ever eaten in the Yanei?" If it has not been used, the concubine should arrange for the kitchen to prepare the meal. ”

Han Wei listened. With a wry smile, he stroked his stomach and said: "When the lady said this, Han is really hungry, I can't hide it, I haven't even used lunch since I went out this morning, and now I'm already hungry." But it's not too much trouble for the Zun Mansion, if the house has already eaten, there is no need to bother. If you haven't used it yet, if you can add a pair of cups and chopsticks to Han during the meal, you will be grateful! ”

He said it politely, and Chen Su couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and asked, "I don't know if there are taboos in the ya?" ”

Han Wei shook his head: "No, Han can eat everything, and now in this world, it is not easy to have a mouthful of Ansheng rice to eat!" If you want to pick your mouth again, you don't know how to regret it......"

This sentence made Chen Su feel like a confidant. Now it is really rare for the prince of Jiezhen to be so knowledgeable and know his fate, this twenty-two-year-old young woman smiled and waved her hand into the servant in charge, and simply ordered two words, and when the servant went, she turned her head and leaned over Han Wei: "Neglect the Yanei!" ”

Han Wei frowned, and then said with a smile: "Can the lady not be called Qin Mouyanei?" This is called by countless people. I'm already impatient, but it's hard to say it directly, it's really depressing......"

Chen Su's bright eyes glanced at Han Wei: "Oh......? But why? ”

Han Wei said solemnly: "The position of Yanai began at the beginning of Jiezhen, but now it has become the basis for his stepfather's position. Young people have little experience and can't understand the world, and even a county Cao may not be able to do a good job, but he suddenly became a ya, and once the old father was a hundred years old, he was succeeded as a feudal town. It doesn't matter if you can convince the public or not. Regardless of whether the qualifications and prestige are enough, suddenly a mountain-like weight is smashed on the head, where is there anyone who is not dizzy? Obviously, he doesn't have the ability to do the knots, but he is strong enough to do the position of knots, but I'm afraid that the period of the extinction of the family is not far away......"

Chen Su nodded secretly in his heart. This hunchbacked yaman is really a person who cannot be seen, although his body is obscene, his knowledge can be called superior. Although I don't know how this talent is, just with these words, he has already surpassed the tall Ya Nei in Yanzhou many times.

Chen Su smiled: "How do you call the other words of the son?" ”

Han Wei was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Han Mou's word Qiren, there is no alias, and the word is also given by his parents, so the lady will call Han Mou Qiren!" ”

Chen Su bowed his head lightly: "Shang Zhiweizi, Ren Shen Jibi, the Taifu of the son of Qiren really means the abyss and is simple, and it is quite the true meaning of the sage's words and body......"

Han Wei was taken aback, he raised his head to look at Chen Su, clapped his hands and smiled: "It turns out that the lady is actually a female talent, it is really disrespectful ...... Han."

Chen Su's face turned red, lowered his head and said: "Don't dare to be a son Miao Zan, the little woman has read a few books, how can she be called a talent?" ”

Han Wei laughed, his mood was very happy, the fatigue and depression of the day had already been swept away at this moment, and he said at the moment: "Reading should be rough reading, and you don't need to take the top exam, and you won't starve to death if you don't become a jinshi, why do you have to rob the poor children of their jobs?" Rough reading can be expositional, exposition can know that there is a heaven outside the sky, the pre-Qin period of the hundred schools, now only Confucianism is left, it is really a big pity. ”

Chen Su said with some disapproval: "Although there are many schools of thought, they can only be used to govern the country after all, but only Confucianism." Huang Lao's words, the line of ink, and the art of Shen Han, although they have all been prosperous for a while, they cannot be used to govern the common people, so they are all gradually declining. Huang Laoxue can calm the mind, Moxue can inspire the mind, Han Fei's technique can cure the small, but if it is beneficial to the hearts of the people of the world, it is still Confucianism is the best. ”

Han Wei nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what the lady said!" Han did not despise Confucianism, but it is a pity that the first emperor burned a batch of the pre-Qin scholars, and Dong Zizun Confucianism caused the decline of the Tao, and most of them have rarely survived. When it comes to governing the Tao, the sons can't catch up with Confucius and Mencius, and the hundred schools are inferior to Confucianism. However, these learnings are the work of their predecessors after all, and if they are handed down

See, even if it is not beneficial to the hearts of the world, it is good......"

Chen Su covered his mouth lightly and said with a smile: "Gongzi Qiren is actually an idiot, people read books for fame and fortune, but Gongzi reads books for the sake of reading, which is really rare." ”

Han Wei also smiled: "Reading for fame is just reading dead books." Zhang Lishan's poems are not cold, and Shandong is chaotic. Liu Xiang didn't study'. It can be seen that people who die and study are useless in troubled times, but they are not as good as mud-legged poles who do not study. This truth was not broken by the ancestral dragon, and the tyrannical Qin died as a second. Now that the sea is swinging, if people who read books don't have a little self-knowledge, they are afraid that they will die in the end, and they don't know how they died! ”

Chen Su shook his head repeatedly: "This is a theory of great enlightenment, and those who are not aware of the world and know the general trend cannot say it." ”

The two of them talked for a long time. The father and son of the Chen family still did not come back, but the meal had already been served, several kinds of meat and vegetables were served on small plates, a plate of extremely delicately made small cakes and steamed buns, plus a pot of wine, all served on a tray and placed on the table next to Han Wei.

Han Wei was stunned: "Has the lady already eaten?" ”

Chen Suyan smiled: "The concubine has practiced the way of self-cultivation since she was a child, and she rarely eats at night. Skip the food! ”

Han Wei was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I see, I would not have bothered the lady if I knew it earlier, I really don't hide it, although Han has always been thick-skinned, but the lady doesn't eat it, Han is really difficult to swallow." ”

Chen Su thought about it, and when someone was eating, there was a person next to him who looked uncomfortable, so he immediately smiled and ordered the servant: "Bring me a bowl of porridge, and then bring the radish that the young master pickled a few days ago." Cut a small plate to ......"

Seeing the servant retreat, Chen Su smiled and said, "My father must have something to delay, and I really can't stand the son!" ”

Han Wei waved his hand again and again: "It's okay...... No problem......"

Chen Su asked, "I don't know what the son is here for?" ”

Han Wei groaned, he didn't know if it was appropriate to talk about the situation in Yanzhou with Chen Su's daughter's family. He hesitated. Chen Su immediately understood, and the girl immediately smiled understandingly: "It's the concubine who shouldn't ask, there must be something urgent, otherwise the prince won't come to visit at night......"

Han Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's really not a secret, Qin wants to ask Chen Gong for his opinion on Lord Li, the inspection envoy of Luzi Pass......"

Chen Su was stunned, and his face suddenly became solemn. Nodding slowly, "I see......"

……

Zhang Yongde personally went out to welcome Wang Pu, who looked tired, in, smiled and ordered the guards of the forbidden army to make tea, turned around and asked, "How?" Wen Bogong can have a harvest this day? ”

Wang Pu twisted his beard and smiled: "The old man is not polite to the general, tell the truth." This trip to Fenglin Mountain, the old man has gained! ”

Zhang Yongde slowly sat down in his seat and said with a smile: "Let's hear it......"

Wang Pu pondered: "The method of training recruits on Fenglin Mountain is only seen in the old man's life, and its severity is extremely subtle, but it is rare to see a military stick or beheading. Although beating and scolding soldiers is commonplace in the army, there is no one officer who drives soldiers to do private affairs. Zhou Zhengyu is the captain of the imperial insult, and he is the second left of Li Wenge, when the old man saw this person, he was actually brushing his boots by himself......"

“…… The deputy commander-level officer brushed his boots by himself......" Zhang Yongde was silent, this kind of thing is impossible even in the forbidden army.

"And the simplicity of its military discipline is also what makes the old man puzzled......"

Wang Pu said with an extremely solemn look on his face.

"How?" Zhang Yongde asked.

"All of his military disciplines add up to only thirteen, and the old man has not seen the beheading. The captain of the field told the old man that indiscriminate killing was forbidden in the army, and there were very few beheadings, and officers could not dispose of soldiers at will. Imprisonment, hard labor, corporal punishment, and death must be tried by a military judge at the battalion and two levels, and the head of the criminal team must be present to observe; The death penalty must be reported to Li Wenge himself, and he will review it before he can finally be executed and beheaded......"

"It's really troublesome...... Zhang Yongde said with a frown.

"Yes, the old man has been surprised, if he doesn't kill people, he doesn't punish the law, how can he control this group of arrogant soldiers! However, the good military discipline of the sergeants on Fenglin Mountain is the only one seen in the life of the old man, and his pawn line is two people in a row and three people in a row, and the food is lined up in order, not noisy, not crowded, not scrambling, and can stand tall in a posture under the sun for two hours during the exercise, and the soldiers standing guard are wearing armor and carrying out the soldiers, even if the officers in the battalion pass, they must align the password to be released...... General Baoyi, have you ever seen such an army? ”

Zhang Yongde was already stunned, and it took a while to take a breath, but he didn't answer Wang Pudi's question. "Is there anything else?" ”

Wang Pu said: "There are not only military reclamation camps on the mountain, but also carpenters and blacksmiths, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of Fenglin Mountain are now built by themselves, and there are also wounded camps on the mountain, which are inhabited by some soldiers who have been wounded or even disabled due to war. The lower official inquired carefully, and several of them turned out to be soldiers of the broken family! ”

Zhang Yongde was taken aback: "The Zhejia army is on Fenglin Mountain? ”

Wang Pu shook his head: "I asked carefully, these wounded soldiers were wounded in Weipingguan, and then because of the poor treatment conditions in front, they were transferred to the wounded camp on Fenglin Mountain to recuperate......

Zhang Yongde muttered: "It seems that the friendship between the Zhi family and this Li Wenge is not shallow, and the wounded soldiers of the two families are recuperating in one place. ”

Wang Pu said: "Not only that, Xia Guan inspected the two hundred and seventy-five human heads they brought back from Luzi Pass. You can confirm that all of them are genuine aliens,

Quite a lot of beards. Although the subordinate is not from the military, he can also be regarded as the result of the battle, and it is definitely not a good merit! ”

Zhang Yongde nodded: "This point has been reported by the people we sent to Luzi Pass, the displaced people who built the road have been preaching, Li Wenge has won a great victory, and the party people have thrown more than 200 corpses in front of Luzi Pass and left in disarray." This should be the first big loss suffered by the people of Yanzhou since the rise of the Dingnan Army. This Li Wenge is really not simple......"

Wang Pu sighed: "This person has not seen it so far, so I dare not assert it, but this Fushi County has ordered Qin Gu to ......."

Zhang Yongde frowned: "How is Qin Gu?" ”

Wang Pu's face became solemn. sighed: "If this person is timed, he must be a talent in the Lang Temple!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yongde curled his lips with interest, "There are not many people who can get Mr. Wenbo's evaluation......

Wang Pu said: "This person is full of blood, but it's okay, most young people are like this." However, this person has an upright and awe-inspiring demeanor. Mencius said that wealth cannot be lewd and mighty, and it cannot be bent, which is exactly what it means! He is not like those ordinary state and county officials who sit in the well and watch the sky, and are short-sighted. However, it is particularly commendable that they will not succumb to the situation and abandon their principles. As an official close to the people, if he can take the people as the sky, he is a good official of the first class in the world. Nowadays, the literati have a lot of backbone, and such people are extremely rare. ”

He paused and said, "This person can be willing to drive for that Li Wenge, it can be seen that this martial artist surnamed Li is by no means as simple as being able to fight, kill, and be good at governing the army." ”

Zhang Yongde bowed his head and said: "Yongde has already thought about this. Within a state, civil officials and military generals cannot be consistent. This is nothing new. There are very few feudal towns that can be unanimously recommended by civil officials and military generals, and this Li Wenge can do it, which shows that his people must be outstanding. Although it is difficult to know for sure the inside of the Luziguan battlefield, with one commanding force, he was able to kill 275 enemies. This is almost the total amount of a battalion of soldiers and horses, and if this person is a general, thousands of military horses can dominate the world. ”

Wang Pu deeply agreed, and he said with a smile: "Today on the mountain, the old man tried to test Cao Man and Liu Yu, and the officer of the land was just returned, but it made Qin Gu quite annoyed. This little doll counted Yanzhou Jiedu and the imperial court in front of the old man, but her face did not change and her heart did not beat, and even clearly said that even if the imperial court was opposed, the military and civilians of the nine counties would wholeheartedly push Li Wenge to the throne. In the old man's opinion, if the court is really in a hurry, how can others not know that he really has the determination to support Li Wenge to break away from the rule of the imperial court! ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yongde was taken aback.

Wang Pu sighed: "Actually, in all fairness, he is not wrong, the two generations of the imperial court have indeed not had any favors to the military and people of Yanzhou for many years. The previous dynasty and the current dynasty did not even do as well as Shi Jing's uncle and nephew in this matter. However, last year, it was on the throne, and among the first batch of feudal towns to return to Shun, there was Yanzhou ......"

Zhang Yongde said: "Yes, if it weren't for Gao Yunquan's interest and the fact that he was the minister first, with his jurisdiction and military strength, he wouldn't be able to get a high position in the service anyway." The reason why it is difficult for the imperial court to take measures this time is precisely because of this. After all, Gao Yunquan has made great contributions to the current emperor, if it can be seen that he lost power and abandoned him, wouldn't the imperial court be too snobbish in the eyes of the Quartet? ”

Wang Pu said disapprovingly: "Hug a general, you can't say this." Twice to the imperial court to return to the rule, the key figure is the observation judge of Yanzhou Li Wenzhen, although Gao Yunquan has this intention, if there is no Li Wenzhen to promote, I am afraid it will not be so easy. Compared with the generals and the Gao family, the civil officials in Yanzhou are more worthy of dependence, after all, they are looking forward to the unification of the world to the imperial court, which is consistent with the idea of the imperial court. ”

Zhang Yongde was stunned: "Sir, you mean that we should support that Li Wenge?" ”

Wang Pu shook his head: "Xiaguan only said one fact, as for who to support and who not to support, that is not something that Xiaguan and the general can decide......"
