In March, the spring river is plumbing. Yang Ying and his entourage went out of Tongguan, let the boat go east, and went to Qi to become a vassal.

In the group, except for Zhang Xutuo, the leader of Qi County, was either old and weak or sick; The most infuriating thing is that the most heroic Zhang Xutuo and the most talented doctor Xue Daoheng are not Yang Er's subordinate officials, they just follow along the way.

Yang Er thought of the loneliness when he left Chang'an City, and then looked at the ones in front of him, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Among the entourage, the one who followed him the longest was probably Su You, so he thought of the gang of gentlemen in Chang'an City before - Li Jiancheng, Chai Shao, Dugutuo, Yu Wenhua and brothers, Xiao family brothers, etc., etc., although he had drunk and enjoyed the flowers countless times before, but when it came to an end, not only did he not see anyone willing to follow him to the Qi country, but even when he left, there were few people who went to the Ten Mile Pavilion to send them off.

Su You also felt aggrieved for Yang Er, and felt that his eastward direction would probably be similar to a frog in a glass jar,—— the future was bright, but there was no way out.

"Miss Qingjing, can you teach me arithmetic too?" A voice rang out, and Su You shook his head at this, because he knew who the speaker was.

Although Su You was not obsessed with his stubbornness, he had to comfort himself and said, "This kid is still studious and motivated", he thought so because he didn't know him, if he knew his past, he would definitely try to kill him.

This kid is none other than Li Tianyi, the only disciple of the gate valve who took the initiative to follow Yang Er's domain, but unfortunately he reaped the consequences because he was too domineering. Last spring, 13-year-old Li Tianyi was riding a horse in the capital, and after being arrested, he said: "My father Li Wenji, who dares to touch me?" ”

All of a sudden, the five words "Father Li Wenji" became the most ridiculous slogan, and became synonymous with rejection, and this allusion also spread from Kyoto to all parts of the country, and caused the surging public indignation of the people everywhere. And Li Tianyi himself was also sentenced to 30 catties of copper and three months of detention for the crime of disturbing public order, this is because he is a minor, but his father has also become the target of public criticism. - This kind of thing happened when Su You didn't come yet.

Li Wenji, Li Gangye. This Li Gang is also an unlucky character, he has experienced three dynasties, and has been the prince of Yang Yong, Yang Zhao, and Li Jiancheng respectively, and the tragedy is that the three princes will always be just princes and cannot be promoted to emperors.

The sentence that Li Tianyi shouted in the capital was the sentence that Su You was very familiar with, "My dad is Li Gang." ”

Li Gang was the king of Qi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty before joining the army, and after entering the Sui Dynasty, he became the prince to wash the horse, but unfortunately, in the end, the prince changed hands, and he naturally fell aside, and in terms of official career, he was naturally suppressed by Yang Suyu Wenkai and others, until the beginning of this year, Yang Guang enabled him to wash the horse for the prince Yang Zhao, and then was soon made by Yang Su and others in various ways to make him a marching Sima to conquer Liu Fang, the general of the Linyi army.

Liu Fang was Yang Su's person, so he naturally knew what to do, and Li Gang, who couldn't stand the torture, ran back to the capital as a deserter in less than two months to prepare to sue the emperor. But how can Yang Suyu, Wen Kai and others be easy people? The impeachment was handed to the emperor as early as on his way back, and the charges had already been settled, "there was no way to teach his son" and "escape from the battle", Li Gang was also required to explain his understanding within the specified time and place, and then his position was pushed to the end by the relevant departments, and he directly became a commoner, which was also thanks to the amnesty of the world at that time, otherwise his situation must have been even more difficult.

When Li Gang said goodbye outside the long pavilion, he couldn't help but cry, Xue Daoheng and Yan Shigu naturally couldn't comfort him, hey, they are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should they have known each other? Xue Daoheng and Li Gang have an old relationship, they were colleagues in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they were both princelings after entering the Sui Dynasty, and they were paid each other from time to time.

But hope is not nothing, the so-called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, the wrong treasure was pressed on the prince before, maybe this time it will be wrong? As for Yan Shigu, he came out because of Li Gang's recommendation, but now he is implicated, which can be regarded as "success or failure Xiao He", it is worth mentioning that Yan Shigu's ancestors have Yan Zhitui, and his descendants have Yan Lugong, and he can be regarded as the mainstay of the old Yan family.

Xue Daoheng and Yan Shigu are playing chess, the latter seems to be a few years younger than Su You, they are both young and old, and their faces can be described as unshocked, but Su You doesn't like this game of Go very much, "white or black" is really not his philosophy of life.

"Hey, sir, come and see." But it was Xiao Jiu's voice, and Su You knew that he was calling himself.

"What?" As he spoke, he walked out, standing half a body behind Yang Er and standing at the bow of the boat.

Spring is the season of sowing, but the farmers on both sides of the river are building the eastern capital through the canal; The mountains have long since bloomed, but the people are displaced. However, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was depressed because of the small number of people in Luoyang, and he was a resident of Guonei in Luozhou and a wealthy businessman in Zhuzhou, who was familiar with thousands of households.

"Father, what kind of trouble is this?" Although Yang Er has always been a gentleman, looking at the bleak scene in front of him, he can't help but feel that his father's great cause is really in a hurry, so he forgets the lesson of "the son does not say the fault of the father".

"At the time of the founding of the Great Sui, there were four rebellions, all of which were in the Xintong region, the north and the south could not be integrated, and the Great Sui was in great danger. In the south, water conservancy is convenient and people's livelihood is rich, but in the north, the land is barren and mostly poor. From the great division of the Three Kingdoms era to the small division of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, it has been nearly 400 years. Southerners regard northerners as vulgar and shallow. It's all hybrids. However, the northerners felt that the southerners were only conquered, cowardly, hostile, and almost alien. Although the form of the Great Sui is unified, but to integrate, it needs a vein that communicates the north and the south, that is, the canal ......" Su You talked eloquently, relying on more than a thousand years of knowledge, but for a while Zhang Xutuo and Yang Er both nodded together.

"My father is anxious for quick success, and only Hengbo is a confidant." After listening to Su You's words, Yang Er couldn't help but sigh.

"Those who have achieved great things in ancient times have been full of reputation and slander." Su You praised Yang Guang, but he didn't dare to ask him to accompany the emperor.

Yang Guang's foresight is naturally extraordinary, but there is a Xue Daoheng beside him who reminds Su You from time to time, "Showing off your cleverness probably won't end well." It was Yang Er, who suddenly asked Su You what his plans were after he arrived in Qi County, and Su You naturally remembered Liang Shuming in the future for the first time.

Liang Shuming is a great figure like Wang Yangming, who is a person who has thoughts and acts in line with his thoughts. In 1927, he put forward the theory of rural governance and the utopian model, and after three years of investigation, he finally popularized and practiced it in the Zouping area.

The place where Liang Shuming practiced township governance was the place where Yang Eryi and his entourage were going; Nearby, a peasant movement would soon break out, and although the leader Wang Bo was only a blacksmith, the land of the Great Sui was quickly set on fire after the spark of his Changbai Mountain.

Su You can endure "breaking and then standing", but he will not want to see his career being affected by the peasant uprising at a time when it is thriving; The ideal of governing the world is the dream of every intellectual, and the fame of every intellectual with a conscience is the vanity of every intellectual. However, he did not see his name in the annals of history in later generations, which made him think that his achievements were self-defeating.

"I'm willing to wander around if it's convenient, provided I plant the sunflowers first, of course." Su You slowly said his plan, Yang Er nodded in understanding, he had said his plan before, about finding his son.

"However, I believe that our time in Qingzhou will not be too long." Su You saw Yang Er nodding silently, and added another sentence to himself.

"I hope so." Yang Er nodded again, but he didn't believe Su You's prophecy.

Yang Er and his entourage abandoned the boat and changed horses, and when they were still ten miles away from the north gate of Licheng, they saw that the county shou Yuan Bao of Qi County was waiting there early.

Yuan Bao is the fourth brother of Yuan Xiaoju, and Yuan Xiaoju is the father-in-law of the former prince Yang Yong. In addition, Yang Yong also has an old man named Yun Dingxing, of course Su You can't know the past of these Chen sesame rotten grains, but he also quickly found out that in addition to himself, these people in Qi County are all former princelings, I really don't understand whether Yang Guang is generous or ill-intentioned.

Having been in this era for nearly a year, Su You still knows a little about the forces of all parties. In fact, the entire Great Sui is a gate valve world, and there are many large and small gate valves in the world, at least thousands of them, but in the upper power structure, in fact, there are three major factions, the royal family, the Guanlong nobles and the northern scholars. The Guanlong aristocratic faction is mainly represented by two families, one is the Dugu family, the other is the Yuan family, Yuan Bao does not seem to belong to this Yuan family, and other Guanlong gate valves such as Changsun, Yuwen, Hou Mo, Li, Yu, etc., are basically based on these two families. The northern Shi clan gate valve is also represented by two families, one is the Hongnong Yang valve, the other is the Wenxi Pei valve, and the rest such as Xingyang Zheng's, Fanyang Lu's, Qinghe Cui's, Taiyuan Wang's, Bohai Gao's, Southern Xiao's and so on are ranked further behind.

Su You doesn't know the ins and outs of these four families, but he just wonders why there are so many four families in history or literary works, which is slightly different from the cultural attributes of foreign countries. After the division of the three families, the three kingdoms returned to the Jin, and the time went from no beginning to no end, but it was constantly reincarnated, and Yang Guang began his grand cause with "repairing Luoyang and returning the Jin family".

How hard are you going? The feast ended. After a hangover, everyone enters their roles.

What made Su You feel ridiculous was that Zhang Xutuo, who was a county prince, had only a few dozen people under his account, and when he asked, he knew that the foreign soldiers were now busy with farming, so it became clear. After all, this is a time of peace, and it has long been far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital.

In addition to Su Youyan Shigu and the three people in the Qi Palace, the team is also the old man of the Yuzhang Palace, Su You has no door and no quality, and there are many ulteriors in his life experience, thinking that there has been no war recently, so his own marching counselor is just nothing, so he exiled himself, asked Yang Er for a few hectares of fertile land, and hired a few farmers who had just finished their work, which was regarded as planting all the sunflower seeds.

Yan Shigu originally said that he would follow Xue Daoheng to various places to comfort the officials, which is also the responsibility of Xue Daoheng's doctor, but after a few days of getting along, he actually got along with Su You, who was of the same age, so he had to wait for Su You to finish planting sunflowers before setting off together, Xue Daoheng had no choice but to play Go in Qi County for a few days.
