Sichuan, shè hong.

In the southwest, the weather is already exceptionally cool in October, and the farmers working in the fields are still bare-armed. This autumn's harvest was good, and the people who carried the threshing orange stalks home to make firewood were quite happy. Xu Wei set up a chair and a low table in the courtyard, and tasted tea a little boringly. The tea is the Emei snow bud sent by the newly appointed Zizhou governor, saying that it is this year's new tea.

The tea was personally accompanied by Shè Hong Duan Zhixian, and when he saw Mrs. Xu, he was still a little embarrassed, and repeatedly apologized for the incident of breaking the island in the first place. Xu Wei behaved very generously, it was not easy for a lower-level official like Duan Zhixian, whatever wind was blowing above, he had to shake it, and he didn't have to be as knowledgeable as him.

The original monitoring of Luyu Island has long been removed, and now nearby farmers and fishermen can come and go every now and then, or send Xu Wei a few fresh fish, or pick some fresh vegetables. Come and don't be rude, Xu Wei often gives back something to them, it should be said that the neighborhood relationship is still good. It's just that these Shengdou people don't know the details of this official on the island.

However, even if the control is loosened now, Xu Wei's every move on this small island will be sent to Xingyuan Mansion or even Jiangnan. After all, he once held the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops and governed Sichuan and Shaanxi for more than ten years, and there were many people who were not at ease with him.

It's not just him, even Xu Liang, who was removed from his position and placed in Quanzhou, is often "cared for" by the imperial court. Not long ago, Xu Liang sent a letter to his cousin, although he did not elaborate. But between the lines, Xu Jiu read Xu Liu's distress and helplessness in the southeast, and even read his worries about the political situation in the DPRK.

It's enough to add to the congestion. Now this Zhao Guanjia is a person who has no idea, and in recent years, these big moves, on the surface, seem to be the same as his handwriting, but in fact, the essence is the result of several big families leaning over each other. The Liu family relied on the identity of the imperial prince and gradually rose in the court and the opposition. The Zhe family was originally a big gate, and Orihiko chose to cooperate with the powerful people in the DPRK and China to ensure the prosperity of the Zhe family. It's the Xu family, because the tree is big. Become the target of public criticism. Now that Xu Liang has been deposed as prime minister, Xu Wei has also been deprived of military power, and the two main ministers have stepped down, and it seems that the scenery is no longer good.

But the bad consequences of the infighting are also obvious, the relationship between Song and Liao deteriorated, and it developed to the point that the victory or defeat is unknown, and the Jurchens have not yet sent troops as agreed. The situation is confusing......

On the low table next to Xu Wei, there was a letter. The letter gave a detailed report on the situation inside and outside Shaanxi. Zhang Xian has already led the army to the north, the situation of Erxu is unknown, and there are quite complaints from all walks of life in Shaanxi. These were actually what he expected, and things were developing according to his assumptions, but Xu Jiu couldn't be happy.

Distance. A boat was leaning on the dock, Xu Hu was holding his mother, Zhu Jilan and Xu Yan were following behind, and they were getting off the boat. Zhang Jiujiu believes in the gods, and always goes to Jinhua Mountain twice a month to worship God. Although Xu Wei does not believe in ghosts and gods. But she never interfered, and let her go.

When he saw his wife and children returning, he wanted to get up from the rocking chair, but this struggle found it a little difficult. When I stood up and looked down, the belt around my waist seemed to be a little unbearable.

"Daddy." Xu Hu walked into the courtyard. Screamed.

"Hmm." Xu Jiu seemed thoughtful and responded casually. As children, it is rare to understand the minds of their parents, but the people next to them are different. Zhang Jiujiu gently pushed Xu Yan away, waved his hand, and Zhu Jilan and his children all entered the house.

"There is a Kun Dao on the mountain, who has been familiar with me since he came up, and now he went up the mountain to worship God. She invited me to tea. During the chat, when it came to divination, I knew that she knew that she was in this way, so I asked her to calculate a hexagram. Zhang Jiu said. At this time, Xu Hu moved a chair for his mother, and the husband and wife sat in the courtyard.

Xu Wei listened to it and said with a smile: "I have always worshiped ghosts and gods and are far away, and I have always disbelieved in these things. ”

"Believe it or not, what does it matter? Officials should only listen to a few nonsense words for their wives, and they should just have fun. Zhang Jiujiu also smiled.

Although Xu Wei doesn't believe it, she never interferes with his wife's beliefs, so why not let her say it and listen to it? So I didn't say much and waited for the following.

"The woman asked me what I was asking for, and I asked about the future of the official, and she asked for the birthday to ......."

As soon as she said this, Xu Wei was puzzled: "Do you want to have a birthday?" That's fortune telling, fortune telling and fortune telling are two different things, fortune telling is to get a turtle shell, put a few copper coins, and shake the ...... in your hand" As a result, he didn't finish speaking, and found his wife staring at him, so he didn't say any more, nodded and said, "You continue." ”

"She asked for her birthday." Zhang Jiujiu emphasized again. "This deduction is calculated, and there are two sentences."

Xu Wei listened funny, this fortune teller, which one is not a good one? Ten ** is what to say "gold scales are not things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and clouds", but they don't say anything on the surface, and continue to listen.

"I haven't read a few sentences for my wife, but I remember these two sentences tightly, called 'Where is the family of Yunheng Qinling, and the snow hugs the blue pass', I didn't understand the truth at the time, and I wanted to ask again, but the Taoist chief had already said ......"

Xu Wei had to grab a sentence this time: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." ”

"Exactly, but she also said that as long as these two sentences reach the ears of officials, they will naturally understand the meaning." Zhang Jiudao.

Zijin Hu didn't have the heart to think about this, and only said perfunctorily: "Most of the people who calculate this are talking about hidden words, and they can't figure it out for a while. ”

"The officials really don't understand?" Zhang Jiujiu asked seriously.

"I don't understand." Xu Wei nodded vigorously.

"I've been thinking about it all the way down the mountain for my wife. But my sister read more books, saying that this cloud crosses the Qinling Mountains, isn't it the Zhongnan Mountain that we crossed when we went south? Where is home? Isn't that what the officials have been thinking about since they arrived here? Xue Yonglan Guan didn't move forward, this sentence, my sister said, only the officials themselves can understand. ”

When she had said this, she found that her husband had not responded, but was sitting there in a trance. She didn't bother, poured out some of the cold tea in her husband's teacup, added new water to it, and when she handed it over, Xu Wei took it, but didn't drink it, and said in her mouth: "Or maybe it's a coincidence, these two sentences really have something to do with the situation in front of me." ”

In Xu Wei's previous life, he also read books, but he didn't know the source of these two poems. These are two sentences in Han Yu's poem "Left Move to Languan to Show Nephew Sun Xiang" in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Han Yu had already played, criticizing the emperor for working hard and losing money to welcome the relics into the palace to make offerings, but as a result, he was angered by Tang Xianzong and was relegated to Cháo Prefecture, and when he reached Lantian Pass, his nephew Han Xiang arrived and wrote a poem. At that time, Han Yu was very depressed and aggrieved, and the last two sentences of this poem, "Knowing that you should be intentional when you come from afar, so as to collect my bones and miasma river", which means that I know that you should have considered it when you come from afar, and when I die by the river full of miasma, collect my bones well.

This Jinhua Mountain is a famous mountain in Sichuan, a holy place of Taoism, coupled with the atmosphere of worshipping Taoism in the Song Dynasty, the male and female Taoist priests on the mountain are only afraid that there are not many high-ranking officials and nobles. And Zhang Jiujiu is a sincere female Bodhisattva, who comes and goes, and most of the women have heard some words, although they don't know the details, but they also know a rough idea. So I took these two sentences to Meng, anyway, it was ambiguous. (To be continued) RQ
