225 is powerless
Yu Kui, Yu Wang, Deng Qian, Han Jue, Wu Yan, and Huan Xiong all shook their heads, all expressing their helplessness.
Gao Fei saw that these six people were helpless, and he also added some worries in his heart, he originally wanted to unite with Sima Cheng in Xiangzhou to deal with the soldiers and horses of Wang Han, Wei Yi and others, but what he didn't expect was that Sima Cheng was already unable to protect himself.
When Gao Fei first came to Xiangzhou, he didn't know much about the situation in Xiangzhou, and he didn't know much about Sima Cheng, although Yu Kui, Yu Wang, Deng Qian, Han Jue, Wu Yan, and Huan Xiong told him the current situation in Xiangzhou, but Gao Fei was also powerless.
But no matter how powerless Gao Fei was, he still said his suggestion: "If you open a warehouse to release grain, provide disaster relief to the people, exempt the people from taxes for another year, and reduce the soldiers, reduce the expenditure on the army, and let the counties organize all the labor, select fertile land, and carry out unified cultivation, the fastest will be one year, and the slow will be two years, and the people's livelihood in Xiangzhou will inevitably be restored." ”
After hearing this, Yu Kui, Yu Wang, Deng Qian, Han Jue, Wu Yan, and Huan Xiong all nodded, and they were also impressed by the young Gao Fei, but they didn't expect these words to come from the mouth of a child who was only five years old.
"Wang Gongzi's suggestion, we have also suggested to Lord Thorn Shi, but Lord Thorn Shi did not approve any of them." Chang Shi Yu Kui said, "Especially the reduction of soldiers and the reduction of military spending, Lord Assassin Shi was furious when he heard it, saying that we were helping Wang Dun and helping to abuse ......."
"If we really helped the abuse, how could he Sima Cheng live to this day? Now the officials at all levels in Xiangzhou have basically figured out the temper of Lord Assassin, and have flattered him in his ear, only the six of us openly disagree with Lord Assassin, so Lord Assassin Shi put several of us under house arrest in the Assassin's Mansion, and other officials were selected to act in our place. ”
Gao Fei sighed heavily and said, "Sima Cheng is a person personally sent by the emperor, and he is related to His Majesty today, so His Majesty naturally trusts Sima Cheng very much. Since you are in such a situation now, why don't you quit your official position one after another and go to Liangzhou to find my master instead. My master is short of available people in Liangzhou, and if you go, I think my master will be very happy. ”
Yu Kui, Yu Wang, Deng Qian, Han Jue, Wu Yan, and Huan Xiong all looked at each other, and they had to say that Gao Fei's proposal had opened their eyes, why didn't they think of it before? Six people have worked together for many years, with just one eye contact, six people can tacitly understand, although the six people did not speak, but when you look at me and I look at you, they have already exchanged each other's meanings.
"Wang Gongzi's words, let me wait for the mouth to open, but Sima Cheng may not be willing to let us resign, and if all six of us collectively resign from our official positions, we will inevitably be suspected by Sima Cheng. The six of us are also from Changsha, and the family clan is in Changsha, if the six of us are gone, then where should our family clan go? When the six of us are here, we can still warn Sima Cheng that once we wait for the six of us to leave, Sima Cheng's side will inevitably be full of traitors and villains, and it will be the people of Xiangzhou who will suffer at that time. Besides, before leaving, General Gan had explained to us that we must protect the people of the state, supervise the new history of assassination, and must not let the new history of assassination go down the wrong path. So, we can't leave just yet. Yu said.
The rest of the people also nodded and agreed with Yu Kui's words.
Gao Fei said: "In this case, there is nothing I can do, everything in Xiangzhou can only rely on a few of you." ”
That night, Gao Fei and Mao Bao stayed in the Assassin's Mansion, and Yu Kui, Yu Wang, Deng Qian, Han Jue, Wu Yan, and Huan Xiong left a good impression on Gao Fei, but Sima Cheng was not a thing.
The next day, before dawn, Gao Fei and Mao Bao got up, they left in a hurry, and Sima Cheng, who was drunk last night, had not woken up yet, so he could only ask someone to change the word and tell Sima Cheng that they had left the Assassin's Mansion.
The two of them first came to Yixiaotang, and they made an appointment with Kang Jun of Yixiaotang to go to Yuelu Mountain to find Ge Hong together.
The geographical location of Yuelu Mountain is unique, Yuelu Mountain and its mountain range belong to Nanyue Heng Mountain, the ancients listed Yuelu Mountain as the last peak of the seventy-two peaks of Nanyue, called Linglu Peak. A long time ago, during the Liu and Song dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the "Nanyue Chronicles" contained: "Eight hundred miles around Nanyue, the Hui Yan is the head, and the Yuelu is the foot. ”
The Nanyue Chronicle is the earliest record of Yuelu Mountain, but in fact, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was earlier than the Liu Song Dynasty, it had not yet become a place for literati and ink writers to stop, because of the historical background of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The scenery of Yuelu Mountain is beautiful, and it is a good place for those hermits to live in seclusion, and Ge Hong is Kangjun's master, so he lives in seclusion here.
It is said that Ge Hong also served as an official in his early years, but later he was discouraged, resigned from the official position, became a Taoist priest, traveled all over the world to Changsha, climbed Yuelu Mountain and never came down again, simply lived in seclusion on the mountain, built a simple house, and lived a secluded life.
However, it is said that he is in seclusion, but it is not completely hidden, he has superb medical skills, in order to make a living, he goes out to travel from time to time to treat people, and the consultation money collected is used to support his other hobby, alchemy.
Ge Hong cultivated while refining pills, and the pills he refined were basically taken and sold by his apprentices in exchange for some money to support his family, and then continued to live a reclusive life. Over time, people knew that Ge Hong's medical skills were excellent, and there was an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment. Ge Hong was most annoyed by these things, so he set the rules, and then his apprentice Kang Jun opened a laughing hall in Changsha City, first checked for him, as long as he could offer rare things in the world, Ge Hong was willing to see a doctor for him. Otherwise, Ge Hong will be killed. Even if they did, they wouldn't come to the rescue.
The things that Gao Fei offered this time, in Kang Jun's opinion, can be said to be the best in the world, no one has offered such a thing, Kang Jun is well-informed, what treasures have not been seen, but only the light of God in Gao Fei's hand He has not seen.
Therefore, Kang Jun took Gao Fei to Yuelu Mountain, wanting Gao Fei to dedicate the light of the gods to Ge Hong, so that he could play with it every day in the future.
Ge Hong lives on the top of Yuelu Mountain, although the mountain is not high, but the road is relatively rugged, and some are climbing, so it takes some time.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Gao Fei and Mao Bao saw several thatched huts standing on a high ground not far away, and there was a chimney on the top of the thatched huts, in which curling green smoke was rising.
