Chapter Eighty-Six: Sun Qian, Beihai
Next, Han Lie and Zheng Xuan's father and son discussed in detail the various measures to run the school, so that Zheng Xuan, who is dedicated to running the school and educating people, nodded again and again, and then looked at Han Lie's gaze, and he already had a little respect.
"Confucius has a saying, if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher; The general's vision is far-reaching, his thinking is beyond ordinary people, and he is not as old as he is. The three of them chatted for a few hours, and seeing that it was already in the middle of the moon, Han Lie got up and said, "There are many disturbances today, come and visit another day." ”
"If Ziyang comes, I welcome it at any time." Zheng Xuan's conversation with Han Lie also benefited a lot, and for Han Lie, a young man who is younger than his son and enough to be his grandchildren, he can no longer afford to be the slightest bit lazy.
"It's a great honor to have Mr. guidance." After Han Lie got up and saluted, he walked to Dian Wei's side, took a sum of money from him, and said to Zheng Yi: "Brother Yien, there are fifty gold here, which is the travel fee I gave to my husband and my disciples to go to Licheng, and please be sure to accept it." ”
"Since it is Ziyang's heart, you will accept it for your father." Facing his son's gaze, Zheng Xuan nodded slightly, which can be regarded as accepting Han Lie's wishes, but the reason why Zheng Xuan would accept Han Lie's money is also to see that this is Han Lie's sincerity from the bottom of his heart, and there is definitely no copper smell mixed with interests, otherwise he would definitely not accept Han Lie's money with his high level.
"Brother Yien, please come back, and Lie will take his leave." Under Zheng Yi's send-off, Han Lie and Dian Wei kept leaving the gate of the academy before saluting again.
"Brother Ziyang walks slowly all the way." Zheng Yi nodded, watching the figures of Han Lie and Dian Wei disappear into the night, and he was about to turn around, but saw a person walking down the corridor.
"Brother Gongyou hasn't slept so late?" Raising the lantern in his hand, Zheng Yifang found out that the person who came was a fellow villager from Beihai and a disciple of his father who had studied for many years, Sun Gan, Sun Gongyou.
"I drank a lot of water at night, and I just got up to go to the toilet." Sun Qian is twenty-eight years old, has been studying with Zheng Xuan for ten years, and has been considered a leader under Zheng Xuan, often teaching some new disciples in the school as an assistant teacher.
Sun Gan, who is kind and modest, naturally has a good relationship with Zheng Yi, and Zheng Yi also treats Sun Qian like a brother. However, although Sun Gan has a generous and benevolent personality, his fate is a little bumpy, and his family background is also solid, but in the year of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, his hometown was plundered by the Yellow Turban Army, and his parents, wife and children died in the war, and the family property was destroyed overnight.
Fortunately, he happened to be studying under Zheng Xuanmen at that time, so he escaped this catastrophe, and although Sun Qian was once sunk, he still persevered later, and studied more diligently, and has achieved something so far.
"Yien is still sending off guests so late, I don't know who is the Confucian?" When Sun Qian went to the thatched house just now, he saw Han Lie and his party in the corridor, he still knew about the temper of the teacher Zheng Xuan, and he was able to get Zheng Xuan's approval, and let Zheng Yi send the guests out of the school hall late at night, it had not been a long time in his memory, even if it was Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, at most he would be able to sit for half an hour, and he would leave because the topic was not speculative.
"You've guessed wrong this time, the person who just left is younger than you and me, and he's still a general, but you should have heard of this person." Zheng Yi said with a smile as he walked.
"Ah, how can a young general be recognized by a teacher like this, and I have heard of it?" Sun Qian thought for a moment with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "As far as I know, there are really no generals in Xuzhou who can be respected by the teacher, and if you come from other places, there should only be Han Ziyang who came from Beihai recently......"
"Gongyou, you would never have imagined that although that Han Ziyang is young, this person's knowledge is so profound and vast, even my father is deeply impressed, and this person's ambitions are even broader, and I have benefited a lot from talking with him today." Zheng Yi was sincerely respectful of Han Lie, so he praised him unabashedly in front of Sun Qian.
"To be able to receive the benefit of your grace so highly esteemed, it seems that this person is indeed extraordinary." Sun Qian was surprised, and naturally admired Han Lie, who had never met before.
"But these are not the main things, there is an important matter, I might as well inform you in advance, my father has promised General Han to go to Licheng to be responsible for teaching, and General Han also promised to open a academy in Licheng as a free school to provide some scholars who are interested in learning to study." Zheng Yi's words surprised Sun Gan, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Although he has a gentle personality, it does not mean that he is willing to remain obscure, in fact, in his heart, he is also looking forward to getting an opportunity to practice his knowledge, and exchange for a reputation for being able to play his strengths for ten years.
"Oh, the teacher figured it out?" Sun Qian actually understands the teacher's character, and he is also full of doubts about Zheng Xuan's refusal to be recruited by Tao Qian and choosing Han Lie, a completely unfashionable general.
"It's a long story, let's talk about it when we have time, some things are not what you think." Zheng Yi was also sleepy, so he didn't explain much, so it was convenient for Sun Qian to go separately.
Sun Qian, who returned to the house alone, couldn't sleep a little, mainly because the news that Zheng Yi brought to him was too shocking, and he knew Zheng Xuan's character.
Zheng Xuan may have the ambition and idea of becoming an official in his early years, but now Zheng Xuan, who is in the age of the sixtieth year, has already given up the idea of entering the office, with his understanding of Zheng Xuan, the teacher now has only one wish, to devote himself to running a school and educating people, and to study the classics of the predecessors.
It was precisely this firm belief that he refused Tao Qian's solicitation several times, so that he was snubbed by Tao Qian, which led to the difficulty of the school now, but now the teacher actually agreed to go to Han Lie to Licheng, or to teach in the academy, which is too unbelievable for Sun Gan.
"Gongyou, it's been two watches, why don't you sleep yet?" While Sun Qian was sitting in a daze, Cheng Bing, who was in the same room, sat up with sleepy eyes, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and asked strangely.
"Deshu, did I make a noise with you?" Sun Qian looked back and saw Cheng Bing who woke up, and said apologetically.
"Nope." Cheng Bing shook his head and said, "Gongyou doesn't sleep late at night, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”
"Ugh." Sun Qian hesitated for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Deshu, do you know Han Lie, Han Ziyang?" ”
"Luoyang assassinated Dong, Tiger Prison Pass fought against Lu Bu, traveled to the North Sea, killed Chang Feng in one fell swoop, and defected to General Han Ziyang, who came to Tao Envoy, how can I not know." Cheng Bing knows more about Han Lie, which is related to Cheng Bing's extensive friends.
Cheng Bingzi Deshu, born in the Runan clan, although his family is now in the middle of the road, he still has a lot of surplus wealth, so in Donghai City, Cheng Bing's reputation and friends are more extensive than Sun Qian, and he naturally heard more news about Han Lie, a rising star.
"I heard that this person is brave and invincible, and his writing seems to be very good, but is this true?" Sun Qian asked with some hesitation.
"This thing should be true, it is said that this son is the grandson of the former Situ Chen Tan, although the family fell later, but there should still be a background when he was a child." Cheng Bing nodded and answered, but reacted and said, "Gongyou, why do you suddenly care about this Han Lie, why, do you want to take refuge in this person and make contributions?" ”
Sun Qian shook his head and said, "Deshu said that he laughed, at my level, even if he wants to take refuge in others, he may not look down on me." ”
"Gongyou's talent is enough to sit in the court and judge, so why bother to belittle yourself." Cheng Bing is very clear about Sun Gan's talent and attainments, what he and Sun Qian have learned is not a specific study of judgment and strategy, but an upright Confucian scholarship.
"In troubled times, we can't settle the country with literature and can't fix the country with martial arts, and we are really the most useless people, so what's the benefit of the country and the family?" Sun Qian smiled bitterly, looking a little pessimistic, but this is also the conclusion he came to from his analysis of the current situation, although it is a little extreme, but it is not unreasonable.
Military generals and resourceful men in troubled times are often the objects that the monarch relies on, and literati like them can only deal with some specific affairs, but cannot give advice and cannot take charge on their own, the situation is indeed a bit embarrassing.
But once the troubled times are over, literati like them are indispensable talents for governing the world, after all, when governing the world, it is often some specific measures and affairs, so it is more necessary to rely on people like them to carry them out.
"Gongyou, don't be discouraged, although there is temporary chaos in the court, it is impossible to keep it in chaos, you and I will do a good job of learning, and we will eventually have a chance to be effective." Cheng Bingzi saw that Sun Qian had an emotional problem, so he didn't argue with him, comforted him a few words, and continued to lie down and sleep.
