readx;?readx; Chapter 523 Beginning of Autumn

In July, the summer is getting farther and farther away, and in the Qinghe Garden, the sound of books is loud. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

His Royal Highness Prince Cheng has moved to Jingshan City, and Emperor Shang has also given another prince's mansion, which is vacant with this vast Qinghe Garden. The officials of the palace felt that this was the old mansion of the prince, and it was better to leave it empty. But Guan Tao obviously didn't see it that way, he personally found Qin Lei, hoping that the prince could fulfill what he had planned a few years ago.

Although Qin Lei was overwhelmed by the government and military situation, as soon as Guan Tao mentioned this stubble, he waved his pen and agreed to Guan Tao's request to change Qinghe Garden into a university hall, and allocated 100,000 taels of silver for the education funds to rebuild the school building, provide room and board, and even distribute monthly money for the scholars.

After receiving the edict of the prince, Guan Tao gathered dozens of private schools scattered inside and outside the capital into Qinghe Garden. Even the bronzing plaque of 'Longwei County Palace' has been replaced with the words 'Qinghe University Hall' inscribed by the prince himself. On the left and right doorposts, there is also a couplet of Mr. Guantao's book: 'The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of reading is in the ears; State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, everything cares. ’

On the white marble wall at the gate of the school, the king's world-famous 'Yueyang Lou Ji' is engraved, which imperceptibly affects every scholar who enters the school.

Ten years of trees, one hundred years of education. Spring breeze turns rain, moisturizing things silently.

"The beginning of autumn, the July Festival. The establishment is also the beginning, the autumn is 'pulling', and the things are here and the convergence is also ......" The young students read aloud to an equally young gentleman.

The neat and loud sound of reading made the pavilion Tao who was quietly standing outside the window intoxicated, until he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the gate of the courtyard, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, raised his index finger to his mouth, and made a silent gesture to the visitor.

The official in his thirties nodded, and stood at the door, waiting for the pavilion to come out.

Looking at the hopeful classroom again, Guan Tao slowly walked out of the small courtyard with lush trees, as if he was not disturbing the students.

After walking far away with the young man, he smiled and said, "Zhuangyuanlang is still used to it?" ”

The person who came was the eighteenth year of Zhaowu's Enke champion Shang Dezhong, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Mr. said it was funny, let's call the student cursive." He was imprisoned by Emperor Zhaowu because he asked for Qin Lei's life last year, although he was later rescued and most of them were reinstated, but a leader like him could no longer be tolerated by the imperial court.

Fortunately, Qin Lei's big tree was enough shade, and he, Xin Litong, Tu Gongchun, and more than 50 Jinshi who were unwilling to stay in the court joined the Longwei County Mansion at that time.

Qin Lei naturally welcomed them with open arms, and put out all the positions that could be provided for them to choose...... The hundreds of positions in the forest are roughly divided into three categories, one of which is called 'decentralization', the south is booming, there is a lack of young and erudite talents, they can go to serve as the deputy of the governor of the state government, such as the general judge, Tongzhi and the like, and then study for three or five years, then they can guard the pastoral government and benefit the party. That is to say, after a few years of internship, you can serve as the prefect of Wupin, which is a good thing that is difficult to find with a lantern...... We said before that those who were born in the Shu clan at that time may not be able to climb to the fifth grade after a lifetime. Xin Litong and ** Jinshi chose this path.

The reason why most people don't choose it is because the latter two are more flavorful. One is Tu Gongchun's more than 20 pen throwers, you must know that in the context of the three-legged standing, the status of military generals is higher than that of Wenchen, which is an indisputable fact...... Generally speaking, whoever the country needs will rise in status.

But this is definitely not to say that reading is useless, because military generals are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Cultured generals are the most promising, the most victorious, and the most respected, and they are also known as 'Confucian generals'.

This is like a mixed hall, although they are all brothers on the road, but they can only cut with a knife if they are not educated, just like a horse boy, at best he will be a Haonan brother in the future; But literacy and hyphenation will come up with bad ideas, so it doesn't have to be so dangerous, you can be a dog-headed military advisor when you come up, and it is naturally the strategy of the dog-headed people to win, but the result of losing is the result of the horses' heads and pig brains, so the chance of bad luck is very small, and it is very likely to achieve the leap from the dog-headed military division to Mr. Jiang.

Therefore, friends who are still studying, it is necessary to study hard, even if you are really interested in the rivers and lakes, you can still take Mr. Jiang as your goal, and it will not be as hard as Brother Haonan......

Oh, or to say back to the pen from Rong. There is another benefit that is not inhumane...... The prince is going to conquer the world, follow his old man before and after the saddle and make a familiar face, and when the revolution is victorious in the future, will he treat us from the dragon heroes?

Therefore, if you read a book well, your brain is generally very smart. If Xin Litong is a conservative who pursues stability, then Tu Gongchun is a radical who is eager for merit.

As for the remaining ten or so, they all entered the university hall and became Mr. Teacher. Everyone in the palace said that they were high-spirited, but Qin Lei, Guantao, and Le Buyi sneered vigorously. But laughing and laughing, they still have to admit that these dozen or so jinshi have vicious vision, forbearance and long-term planning, which is the ...... A courtier who can entrust the affairs of the state.

Although Qin Lei and Guantao only said to the outside world that this university hall was a place to promote Confucianism and teach and educate people, in fact, only one kind of person was cultivated here, that is, scholars, and scholars were to be officials...... Think about President Jiang or the Donglin Party, everything is self-evident.

But Qin Lei did not reject this ambition, he believed that he could not do anything without ambition, so he agreed to these people's request. He also appointed Shang Dezhong as the capital secretary of the Department of Education...... He was born as a champion, and he can still serve the public.

"What's the matter with Brother Wanggao?" Although Guan Tao looks not young, he is actually only three years older than Shang De.

"Students will draw up this year's enrollment plan and ask the adults for approval." Although Shang Dezhong is the top of the list, he admires Mr. Guantao's knowledge and ability, if it is not too dazzling, it is possible to apprentice, so he is very respectful.

After taking it and looking at it quickly, Guan Tao's brows furrowed involuntarily, and he saw that Shang De was very nervous, and said in his heart: "It's the first time to do such an important errand, don't mess it up." Thinking of this, he blurted out: "But if there is anything wrong, Mr. will say it, and the student will revise it." "Although I have a high education and am not young, I am still a rookie after all, and I don't have such a strong self-confidence.

"Hmm," Guan Tao raised his head, saw the nervousness on his face, and said with a smile: "Your idea is very good, it is true that only by recruiting students from all over the country can Qinghe University Hall become the real highest university in Daqin." ”

Although he knew that this was a desire to suppress the first Yang, Shang Dezhong's expression was still a lot easier, and he only heard Lord Siqing say slowly: "But the house can't take out an extra 100,000 taels, so let's wait for next year." ”

Shang Dezhong was a little uncontrollable and said: "Only spend more money this year, and it will be fine in the future." Sir, just raise your hand, the students know that there is still a surplus in this year's budget. ”

In fact, this is very taboo, but Guantao is a taboo-free guy, and the best thing to say is the prime minister's belly. "Hehe, I've inquired beforehand." He smiled faintly and said: "There is still some silver, but I don't know when I will fight with the Qi State, and I have to prepare military expenses for the prince." "After all, he has been in the Qi State for many years, and he still has a good grasp of Zhao Wuyi's strength.

"It's too close to the autumn festival a year later, and the scholars want to take the township test, so they can't come at all, my lord." Shang Dezhong had no choice but to come up with a killer weapon and said: "If you can't catch up with one step, you can't catch up step by step, and it will be delayed for three years." ”

Guan Tao looked at him for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "This reason is not bad, I can give you 50,000 taels." ”

Shang Dezhong was first happy, and then he was not satisfied: "Send the Buddha to the West Heaven ......"

Guan Tao shook his head and said resolutely: "There can't be more than a word, and the scope is smaller if the money is less." ”

Shang Dezhong had no choice but to give up his orders, and felt that Fang Cai seemed to be a bit of a persecution, so he wanted to find a way to remedy it. "My lord, some ......of you have come over in the same year recently" Glancing at the kind-faced Lord Siqing, Shang Dezhong said softly: "After Your Majesty's Eastern Crusade, His Royal Highness and Zhou Zhongtang took power, and wantonly excluded and oppressed the courtiers on our side. Many of them were disheartened in the same year, and wanted to ask if the prince could take him in? ”

Guan Tao knew that what he said was true, and muttered: "How many people? ”

"Conservatively, it's sixty or seventy." Shang Dezhong's face was a little strange and said: "Almost all the Jinshi who stayed in Beijing." ”

Guan Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly after a long time: "This matter is serious, and I will give you an answer after I have written to ask the prince." As he spoke, he patted his arm and said, "But you can't chill their hearts, just say that the request report has been handed over." ”

Shang Dezhong didn't expect Guan Tao to agree on the spot, and smiled and said, "Student understands...... I just don't know how long it will take? ”

"Ten days if it's fast, and half a month if it's slow." Guan Tao replied softly: "Don't worry, the prince said that the most expensive thing in the world is talent." ”

When they arrived at the gate while talking, they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the two of them couldn't help but follow the sound together, and saw a team of golden armor royal forests galloping on the street with several fiery red flags.

Seeing the red flag of the hunting move, the hearts of the two of them contracted suddenly, and they said with ecstasy: "Great victory!" ”

Great Qin Shangwu, the forbidden army is mostly the children of Beijing, because whether it is public or private, the people in Beijing should pay more attention to the country's war than the people in other provinces. Whenever there is a war, countless ordinary people go to the military department to wait for news, which makes it inconvenient for the officials of the military department to enter and exit, and it is naturally very annoying, but it is difficult to drive away the families of these soldiers. In the time of Emperor Wen, a scholar finally couldn't help but write a book, asking the whole city to report the results of the battle to reassure the people.

Emperor Wen was a generous and loving emperor, so he approved the request of the military department, and agreed with the people of Zhongdu that if he won, he would wave a red flag in the city, and the more red flags, the greater the victory; If you are defeated, you will be beaten with a black flag, and if you have more black flags, you will lose worse. Since then, it has become a tradition and has not changed for more than 100 years.

When the people of the capital who were anxiously waiting suddenly saw the red flag fluttering in the wind, it was understandable that they burst into excitement. One by one, they threw down their work and ran out of the shops facing the street, looking fixedly at the red that had reached the distance, and after a long time, they shouted hoarsely: "Great victory!" What a victory! Then he danced and followed the horse team that reported the good news like a madman, shouting as he ran: "God bless Daqin, my emperor is mighty!" ”

The sound alarmed many people who had not seen it, and they rushed out into the street, and when they had been asked what was going on, they began to shout.

The flow of people gathered more and more, and the sound became louder and louder, and it didn't take long for the entire Zhongdu City to completely boil, and the sound of crackling firecrackers resounded in the sky. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, people converge in one direction, and that is Baodao Street in Xicheng...... On the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

The secretary of the military department had to deploy military logistics, so Li Qing did not go out with the imperial driver. Although he is very bad with the old Qin family, at this time, the common outside world is the main theme, so he is still very happy. After reading and reading the good news that had been written, he smacked his lips and asked his subordinate officials to post it outside the door.

A few officials happily walked out with the good news, but found that they couldn't go out at all...... The gates had been completely blocked by the ecstatic people.

A few officials had to find a ladder, climb up to the wall, and look out, good guys! Not only Baodao Street, but also the adjacent streets, as long as the eye can see, there is a crowd of people!

'Isn't it all the people of the city coming here?' The officials thought to themselves.

Seeing that some military officials were on the wall, people shouted: "Good news! Good news! Good news! But I saw the officials' mouths open and close, but they couldn't hear anything......

The noisy crowd quieted down, and several officials sang in unison:

"The front line sent a good news from Zhongdu: His Majesty the Wise Shenwu Shizong Lie, Emperor Zonglie, personally led 400,000 heavenly soldiers to fight with the 600,000 thieves of Qi Chief Zhao Wuyi in the Central Plains. His Majesty beat the drum to inspire, and the generals fought bravely, and after the bloody battle of the army, 140,000 were beheaded, and Qi Kou was defeated on the Luoshui Plain. The enemy is invincible, and our army is pursuing the victory, and now it has lost all the ground, and the soldiers Chen Hu are firmly closed! Defeat the enemy! Be just round the corner! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! The people shouted from the bottom of their hearts. Although the impression of the emperor has always been bad, the glory of defeating the Hundred Battles and Hundred Victories is enough to turn his image upside down.

In the following days, the news from the front line gradually came, and the outline of the war that made the Qin people spit out a vicious breath became clear. People finally knew that it was Prince Cheng who won three battles and three victories, and took the lead in breaking through the camp of the Qi army, which eventually led to the defeat of the Qi army.

Compared with His Majesty the Emperor, who is already old, a suave young hero like Prince Cheng is naturally more in line with the simple aesthetics of the people. Fueled by some people, it is a god who preaches it. Almost overnight, all kinds of songs, commentaries, drums, and dramas praising His Highness's exploits sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the limelight directly overshadowed His Majesty the Emperor......

It is said that the prince used his troops like a god to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and rushed for seven days and seven nights, stopping Zhao Wuji's attempt to occupy the mountains, forcing them to retreat to the plains and accept the extremely unfavorable decisive battle.

It is also said that in the decisive battle, the Qi army set up a formation of Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles, and the repeated attacks of the Great Qin soldiers were blocked and suffered heavy casualties. The prince couldn't hold back his first soldier, and the iron gun picked up eighteen Wuhan steel cars in a row, breaking the invincible car formation of the Qi State, which completely defeated the Qi army.

People also say that Zhao Wuji is the reincarnation of Chiyou, who used demonic magic to burn the royal master of Great Qin; And the prince was Lu Dongbin who went down to earth, beckoned to attract the water of the Luo River, and extinguished the demon fire...... This one is more fantasy, but it is the favorite of the big guys.

Anyway, whether it is a sincere praise or an ulterior motive, in short, a glorious image of the Wisdom and Courage Plenum of Immortal Arts has been established.

A few days later, the day of the beginning of autumn arrived.

The eunuchs took advantage of the night to move the sycamore planted in the pot into the hall, and when the first ray of sunlight rose, the eunuch played loudly: "Autumn is coming, ......" After the performance, the sycamore should fall one or two leaves, in order to imply autumn.

Looking at the first leaf that fluttered down, the old queen mother sighed: "Alas, how many fallen leaves, how many reincarnations, I don't know if I can see the next ......" The old eunuch Qiu helped her up from the easy chair, coughed a few times and said: "The queen mother must live a long life." ”

The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang shook her head slowly and chuckled: "Why do you live so long?" He glanced at the old eunuch beside him and said, "Lonely......"

Eunuch Qiu was gloomy in his heart, he knew that what happened last year had hit the old queen mother very hard...... Although she has no feelings with the Wen family, it is her root after all. Since then, the spirit of the old queen mother has deteriorated day by day, and she no longer shy away from life and death.

Eunuch Qiu was secretly worried: "This is not a good phenomenon, young people live by qi, and old people live by thoughts, if they don't miss it, their bodies will collapse quickly." Then he changed the subject and said, "Didn't you say that you want to watch Prince Cheng take over the mantle?" It will take ten or twenty years to come, and you will have to take good care of it. A Jiazi's friendship made him not too evasive, and he said and giggled: "The old slave has heard that His Royal Highness has been rumored to be a fairy-like figure outside." ”

Hearing him mention Qin Lei, the old queen mother's face showed a rare smile, and she said softly: "Bring me the money." ”

The old eunuch was surprised: "Didn't you say that my life is up to me, and it's not a hexagram?" ”

The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang shook her head and said: "Maybe it's because of concern, it's chaotic, I've been having nightmares lately, so it's better to be down-to-earth." ”

Eunuch Qiu hurriedly took the money and cleaned her hands for the old lady.

"Even if it's a war, right?" The Queen Mother said softly, and after speaking, she spilled the money, and got the 'upper and lower hurdles', and her face couldn't help but change, and she muttered: "Zeshui is trapped in the hexagram? "I picked up the money again and threw it twice, but the result was 'up and down', and it was unexpectedly blank for a while, and Eunuch Qiu called several times without speaking.

Eunuch Qiu asked a few more times, and the old queen mother finally came to her senses, shook her head at him, and then trembled into the quiet room, and prayed silently.

Eunuch Qiu went to look at the money again, but found that it had been completely messed up by the old queen mother. But he still remembered those words, hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, grabbed Taishi Gong, who was about to leave, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice: "What does 'up and down, Zeshui trapped hexagram' mean?" ”

Tai Shi Gong's face changed when he heard this, and he asked him who counted it, and Eunuch Qiu said impatiently: "Just talk about it, why do you ask so much?" ”

Tai Shi Gong shook his head, but still said truthfully: "The sleepy hexagram is under the exchange, and there is no water in the river. Poverty, crisis, hardship, catastrophe and illness, devastating catastrophe ......"

The old eunuch suddenly saw sweat, and his mouth was dry: "Is anyone accurate about this thing?" ”

"Of course not." Tai Shi Gong shook his head and smiled: "You have to have advanced attainments to do it......"

The old eunuch patted his chest and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard the guy who was panting with reverence: "In the entire Zhongdu City, there are two or three people, but if you want to say that it is powerful, it is still our Holy Empress Dowager." ”

Qiu eunuch clay sculpture in the local area.
