Chapter 16: Far from the Rivers and Lakes (I)

Zheng Yanqing's heart suddenly trembled, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Who is Yao Yi?

Yan Qing really didn't know very well, and he didn't have the slightest impression. However, since he said that it was Taishan Yao Yi, it must have something to do with the Jinyang Yao family. The Yao family in Jinyang is a branch of the Yao clan from the south. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, the Yao family, whose ancestral home was Wuxing, moved to the north. The Zongfang is located in Kipshi, so it is called Kip Shi Yao's.

But there are also branch houses that arrive in Jinyang and are well-known in the local area.

Yan Qing has lived in this era for ten years, and due to the factors of his environment, he is quite concerned about the noble family.

However, what surprised Yan Qing was the tall young man in white, Xue Shui!

The record of Xue Shui in the history books is that he is one of the four surnames of Hedong, a member of the Xue clan in Fenyin. And Xue Shui's father is a famous person, the one who made the poem "Empty Beam Falling Yan Ni", and now the secretary and supervisor of the imperial court, Xue Daoheng Xue everyone.

When Xue Shui was a teenager, it is said that he studied under Wang Tong and studied in Bainiuxi.

It's just that now, Wang Tong's reputation is a little stinky, and after returning home, he will practice penance behind closed doors and will not intersect with anyone, so Xue Shui will naturally not be able to apprentice to Wang Tong. The history books say that after Xue Daoheng's death, Xue swore not to serve Sui. When Sui destroyed Tang Xing, he was cast under Li Yuan's account, and later recommended by Fang Xuanling to work in Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion.

For Xue Shui's deeds, there are not many words left.

It is only said that in the battle of Pingdou Jiande, he once tried his best to override public opinion, asked Li Shimin to fight quickly, and succeeded in the first battle.

After that, he played a huge role in quelling Liu Heimin's rebellion.

In addition, the records of him in the history books focus more on his words. However, Xue Shu died very early, in his thirties. Later, when Li Shimin painted the picture of the eighteen bachelors, he lamented that Xue Shui died early and was not among them. But even if Xue Shu died, Li Shimin still included Xue Shu's nephew, Xue Yuanjing, in the eighteenth bachelor's degree.

In Yan Qing's view, Xue Shui is very similar to Guo Jia during the Three Kingdoms period.

It's just because of a Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Guo Jia is known to the world; And Xue Shu's talent is not weak, Guo Jia's reputation is much weaker.

Pei Xingyan said: "Xue Shao and Yao Shao are both studying in Taixue.

I heard that you and Mai Zizhong made an appointment to bow down, so I found me and asked me to help you...... In addition, they, like me, have great respect for your Romance of the Three Kingdoms. How's it going, how are you preparing now? ”

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly thanked: "Two Gao Yi, the younger brother is grateful. Yao Yi said: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of calling you Brother Zheng Xian." That guy Mai Zizhong has always been arrogant and domineering, and he often thinks of himself as a bully, and I can't see it anymore. You said well on the long street of Jianguomen that day, what virtue and ability does he have, dare to be the overlord? If it weren't for General Mai, he would have been dealt with by national law a long time ago...... In short, you can't lose to him. Those guys in Taixue are not optimistic about you, but Xue Shao and I must be on your side. ”

This Yao Yi is a straightforward person.

Xue Shu smiled slightly on the side and did not say anything.

Zheng Yanqing asked everyone to sit down and told Pei Xingyan and the three of them about the situation on their own side.

"It's not a secret, the little brother is not sure now. I'm not good at juju, and I don't have enough people.

With the help of the three, there is still a difference of two people. However, Dou Beijia said that after a while, Dou Xiaoxuan, the son of Shenwu Gong, can join me. But even if you count Dou Shao, there is still a shortage of one person, and I am having a headache because of this. ”

Obviously, Pei Xingyan and a few people also know Dou Xiaoxuan.

Pei Xingyan frowned, "Speaking of which, Dou Shao's ability to bow is not bad, if he can join, it will indeed be a big help." But there is still one person missing, and there is some trouble after all...... Where do you look for it in a while? ”

There are so many children of powerful people in Luoyang, but there are very few people who are willing to risk offending Mai Tiecane to help Zheng Yanqing.

Even if there are children of the powerful who are willing to help, their parents may not be willing.

Although Yan Qing said that he was not good at bowing, Pei Xingyan and the others didn't care. In Pei Xingyan's opinion, Zheng Yanqing, who can fight on par with him and is only inferior, is just humble. The thoughts of him and Xue Shu Yao Yi all fell on the remaining candidate.

Xue Shui said suddenly: "I have a candidate, but I don't know if I can invite it." ”

"Who?"

Xue Shui said: "My brother Xue Wanche is the son of the general Xue Shixiong. He is thirteen years old, known for his courage and skill in the bow. He is in Luoyang now, if we can invite him over, won't our horse team be able to do it? ”

Xue Wanche?

Yan Qing felt that this name was so familiar.

However, his son Xue Shixiong is indeed very famous, and he just defeated Tuyuhun at the beginning of the year, but Yan Qing has heard of it.

"Xue Shao, why don't you go back and talk to Lao Xue?"

Xue Shu scratched his head and said softly: "If it was earlier, it would not be difficult to invite him out." In recent times, though...... You don't know that three months ago, he injured the grandson of the Duke of Puyang County in Chang'an, and now he is grounded by General Xue. ”

"Ah, he hurt Yuwen Cheng's toe?"

"Where, he broke Yuwen Chengji's ribs, and also angered Yuwen Chengji's brother...... General Xue was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he ordered someone to send him to Luoyang for discipline. ”

Yan Qing really didn't know much about what happened in Chang'an.

If it weren't for what Shen Guang said before, Zheng Yanqing wouldn't even know who Yuwen Chengji was.

So when Pei Xingyan, Xue and Yao Yi were talking, he and Xu Shiji were just listening to each other most of the time.

"Brother Pei, who is Yuwen Chengji's brother?"

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but ask.

It can be heard that Pei Xingyan and the others seem to have some scruples about that 'old brother'.

Xue Shu said: "It is the eldest son of Yuwen slave, Yuwen Chengdu." ”

"Huh?"

Yan Qing was taken aback, and almost blurted out to ask: Is there really such a person as Yuwen Chengdu?

In the history books, there is no relevant record of Yuwen Chengdu. However, in the Romance of Wild History, Yuwen Chengdu is famous.

That is the second-ranked figure among the eighteen heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

It is said to be a phoenix winged gilt boring, with the courage of ten thousand people. But to be honest, Yan Qing didn't believe it before.

But now, Pei Yuanqing has appeared, and Yuwen Chengdu has also appeared...... Yan Qing was a little confused: Is this the real history, or the world of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?

Now that Yuwen Chengdu and Pei Yuanqing have it, should Li Yuanba also appear, and that Youzhou Luo Cheng?

subconsciously glanced at Xu Shiji.

Legend has it that Xu Maogong, the old man with a bull's nose in Romance, seems to be this one!

"Who is the Yuwen family slave? Yuwen Chengdu, is it very powerful? When Xu Shiji saw Yanqing looking at him, he immediately misunderstood, thinking that Zheng Yanqing was asking him to speak, so he asked questions.

Yao Yi said, "Don't you know?

Yuwen family slave, is Yu Wenhua and ...... Hehe, he accompanied him this time, and he actually did business with the Turks in Yulin, and was discovered by His Majesty, and almost lost his surname. Fortunately, Princess Nanyang interceded for him, so he was able to save his life.

However, the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living sin is unforgivable. His Majesty demoted him to a lowly slave and sold him to the Duke of Puyang County......"

Burst!

Yan Qing squirted out a mouthful of water.

The best, this is really the best!

I'm afraid that only a person like Emperor Yang of Sui can come up with such a superb method.

Yao Yi continued: "Yuwen Chengdu studied under the great general Yujuluo, and at the age of thirteen he accompanied the general to fight, and at the age of fifteen, he was born in Qianniuwei, and he was brave and invincible, and his strength was endless. At the beginning of the year, when he attacked Tuyuhun, he rode into the enemy formation and captured the handsome banner of Fu Yun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, and defeated Fu Yun. His Majesty gave him General Tianbao, and now he stays in Chang'an. ”

Pei Xingyan snorted, "Shit luck, if I hadn't been grounded at home at the beginning of the year, it might not have been that guy's turn to be in the limelight." ”

Sure enough, Pei Yuanqing, who was an enemy in the romance, was not very convinced by Yuwen Chengdu.

However, Yuwen Chengdu is now in his early twenties, and Pei Xingyan is only twelve years old, which is a very big gap. Yan Qing is not very interested in Yuwen Chengdu, after all, he will not have much intersection with himself. He was more interested in Xue Wanche, so he asked, "Xue Shao, then do you think it is possible to invite Young Brother Xue out?" ”

"Well, I can ask when I go back."

When you pinch your fingers, it seems that there are enough people...... As long as Xue Shui can let Xue Wanche come out, when Dou Xiaoxuan arrives in Luoyang, everything will be ready.

The problem that plagued Shi Tian was solved at once. Whether it is Yanqing or Xu Shiji, they all feel a lot more relaxed.

It's not early, and when you practice at this time, you may not have a big surname.

A group of teenagers, of the same age. The eldest is Xue Shui, who is sixteen years old this year; The youngest Yanqing is ten years old this year.

As for Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan, and Yao Yi, the age difference is even smaller.

Everyone sat down together, and you and I started talking. As soon as he was talking, he turned to Yanqing's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". There are not too many Three Kingdoms released to the public today. Yanqing deliberately slowed down in order to arouse more people's interest. Xue collected a few people, and what they saw was synchronized with the outside world, while Xu Shiji had already seen the plot of the Battle of Chibi.

Zheng Yanqing didn't talk much, so Xu Shiji became the protagonist.

I saw him foaming at the mouth, telling the follow-up plot, and from time to time he also sold a pass, which made Pei Xingyan scratch his ears and cheeks.

"Brother Zheng Xian, you actually have so much inventory?"

Pei Xingyan pulled Zheng Yanqing excitedly, "Hurry up and hand it over, so that I can enjoy waiting." ”

"This, I'm still revising, and when the revision is completed, I'll ask a few brothers to correct it."

Yan Qing is a little hesitant now, because Du Ruhui wrote from Du Ruhui before, saying that there are some plots in his book that are not appropriate. For example, respecting Liu Xinghan and usurping the throne are very sensitive issues. If one is not right, it may cause trouble.

When he wrote it at the time, Yan Qing didn't pay much attention to it.

But Du Ruhui's reminder made Yanqing a little worried.

So he has been hesitating whether he should put out the rest of the article. However, since this topic has been brought to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yan Qing suddenly had a little idea.

"Xue Shao, you and Yao Shao are studying in Taixue, and they are well-informed, and their knowledge is wider than ours.

I have a small question, and I would like to ask for two more points...... But I don't know, what do the two of you think of the Taiping Dao chaos? ”

The Taiping Road Rebellion was replaced by the 'Yellow Turban Uprising' in later generations.

This is related to ideology, and it is naturally impossible for Yanqing to be called by this kind of word. These days, Mao Wang and his wife have officially become Maitreya disciples, and Mao Xiaonian has also joined them with them. It's just that Mao Wang and his wife haven't met the almsgiving charm water yet, so it is impossible to meet Mao Xiaoba. However, judging from the news from Mao Xiaonian, this white-clothed Maitreya seems to have begun to take shape. According to Mao Xiaonian, there are not many officials and nobles in Luoyang City, but the prestige among the displaced people is even higher.

Yan Qing felt very uneasy.

Especially when I reread the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms in these few days, I feel more and more that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is similar to the white-clothed Maitreya today.

Whether it is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are not many written records of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

But it is undeniable that the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused great harm to the Han family...... If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han dynasty might have lasted for some time. It can be said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion hastened the demise of the Han Dynasty.

A careful comparison will reveal the similarities between Taiping Dao and the white-clothed Maitreya.

They all arise from the people, especially the stage when there are many displaced people; Through the almsgiving of water, miracles were preached, and a firm foothold was established among the people, and then infiltrated the upper class of society. Nowadays, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has built a vast number of civil works, making the displaced people appear.

I heard that in Henan and Hebei, there are traces of rogues to varying degrees.

It is recorded in the history books that the chaos of the Sui Dynasty was in the late period of the Great Cause; But Yan Qing is not sure, is this chaos possible in advance?

Xu Shiji is still by his side, and the heroes of Wagang are still nowhere to be seen.

Most of the legendary anti-kings have no reputation. Wang Shichong doesn't know where he is? Dou Jiande may still be farming. As for Li Yuan, he is still loyal to the Great Sui, but will the appearance of Maitreya in white make the turmoil advance?

Yan Qing wasn't sure...... He needs time, he needs time to gather strength, to grow.

So, so far, he doesn't want the Sui Dynasty to mess up. Besides, he hasn't seen the legendary Li Er yet.

Your own power is too small, but it is not impossible to borrow it.

The few people in front of him, whether it is Xue Shui or Pei Xingyan, are all children of official eunuchs, if it really doesn't work, they can reflect this problem through them.

With such an idea, Zheng Yanqing suddenly turned the topic to Taiping Road.

Anyway, everyone is talking about the Three Kingdoms, and when he mentions the Taiping Road, it won't seem too abrupt and too traced.

Xue Shui heard it at first glance, but he was stunned.

"Taiping Dao?

Brother Xian, do you mean that Brother Zhangjiao? ”

"Exactly!"

"Well, this is the beginning of the decline of the Han family, and the chaos of the times."

Ha, it seems that Xue Shu's understanding is quite similar to his own. Yan Qing immediately made a gesture of deferencing, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Xue Shu talked eloquently, from the Taiping Dao Rebellion to the Southern Dynasty Sun En's Rebellion.

When he opened his mouth, Xu Shiji and the others were silent, nodding their heads from time to time in favor of Xue Shui's point of view.

"Brother Xian, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Zheng Yanqing said with a smile: "I just felt it for a while, so I asked."

A few days ago, I heard that in this Luoyang City, there are people who give talisman water. It just so happened that I was studying the Three Kingdoms in those days, so I had some feelings. It is often said that reading history can tell the rise and fall, and I quite agree. Taiping Road, it's not peaceful! ”

History, in its first place, is constantly repeating itself.

The form may be different, but fundamentally, not much has changed.

It's just that the means will be more clever and more subtle...... Xue Shu's expression was straight, "Is there such a thing?" You really need to pay attention to it. ”

Pei Xingyan said: "Okay, okay, why did the good guy suddenly get to the Taiping Road." This matter has its own bosses to worry about, so why should I ask? ”

Yan Qing said with a smile: "The temple is worried about its people, and the rivers and lakes are far away from it.

When we read the books of the sages, we should be more worried about the worries of the people of the world first, and the joys of the people of the world after us. This is what I have learned in three years in Zhuyuan, I just heard my brothers talk about the Three Kingdoms, and I felt it for a while, and it was bad for my taste, Brother Pei should not be surprised. ”

Pei Xingyan didn't react.

But Xue Shui Yao Yi, and even Xu Shiji's face changed suddenly.

I saw Xue Shui suddenly get up and slam his hand to the ground: "The virtuous brother is talented, and the younger brother is not as good as him." ”
