It's been three days, and for three whole days, the Five Cities Terracotta Division hasn't brought back any useful news. According to the time, Jiang Wei should go to the capital at this time.

Zhang Ru, who was in deep thought, didn't know that the lame henchman had drilled a dog hole into the capital, and he didn't know that when he was dealing with official documents in the past few days, the honest man had already taken the opportunity to leave the capital.

Holding the information in his hand, but he was irritable in his heart, and he was very impatient, and walked out of the duty room with heavy steps, and saw Mu Bin working at the desk, and couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Wei's matter, the Five Cities Terracotta Division hasn't sent back the news yet?" ”

Mu Bin stood up and nodded at him: "My lord, this Jiang Wei, I'm afraid it's not simple." Maybe he has other channels to get into Beijing, maybe. ”

"Maybe what?" Zhang Ru raised his eyebrows and asked.

Mu Bin has a straightforward temperament, and rarely says that half is left half.

"Maybe he didn't come to the capital." Under Zhang Ru's questioning, Mu Bin still guessed in his heart.

Although they are both old brothers under Zhang Ru, Mu Bin and Jiang Wei are not so familiar with each other. As an old man in Dongsifang, Jiang Wei was not very happy to have too much communication with Mu Bin, who was robbed by Zhang Ru from the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen. Similarly, the arrogant Mu Bin doesn't like to deal with Jiang Wei, who is always by Zhang Ru's side like a leper dog.

"Scatter people, no matter what, you must control Jiang Wei's whereabouts in your own hands." After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ru ordered.

When the order was issued, the people below immediately conveyed it in full swing, looking at the busy figures, Zhang Ru's heart was full of doubts: Jiang Wei, how many secrets are hidden in you?

Jiang Wei and Wu Guang parted ways after leaving the capital, Jiang Wei did not return to Datong, but rode a fast horse to Changsha Mansion; Wu Guang did not return to Liaodong, but went to Ningbo Mansion in Zhejiang.

Running all the way, he finally arrived at the territory of the political secretary of Huguangbu, and Jiang Wei's speed slowed down. Although Huguang has a high grain yield, these grains cannot be left locally, and most of them are transported to the north through Cao.

It is said that there are many people in poor mountains and bad waters, this lake is wide, and there are a lot of people in the people's committee, as for those people who can't live because they really don't have food, Jiang Wei encountered three waves along the way.

The weapons in the hands of these people are very simple, it is already very good to have an iron hoe, and most of the weapons in their hands are wooden sticks, bricks and the like.

But the toughness of these people is not inferior to the border sergeants, and their stomachs can't be full, who can care about life and death?

These people don't care if Jiang Wei is wearing the flying fish suit of the brocade guard or what, the luxurious brocade robe alone is enough to put them in danger.

Of course, these bandits who were originally ordinary people didn't know the Flying Fish suit.

can become the nine guards of Tianmen who makes the emperor his confidant, Jiang Wei is naturally not a simple character, he is clumsy in Beizhen, but he doesn't want to show his feet in front of Zhang Ru. But in the face of these Diao people, he doesn't need to hide his clumsiness.

Three strikes and five divisions of two knocked a bunch of bandits to the ground, but the brute eruption in the bones of the people of Huguang also caused him a lot of trouble.

Three or five heads on the ground can't have any deterrent effect on those people at all, as long as they can still move, they will dare to take a cold breath behind your back.

When Jiang Wei arrived at Changsha Mansion, there were already a few more small scars on his body.

Holding the waist card of the brocade guard unimpeded into Changsha City, the dilapidated Changsha City is not as prosperous as the capital, and most of the people on the street are dressed in cloth. However, Jiang Wei saw a scene that made him puzzled. That is, from time to time you can see groups of scholars on the street arguing about something.

I asked several pedestrians along the way, and then I asked where Yuelu Academy was, and one of the three remaining old guys of the Tianmen Nine Guards was a gatekeeper in Yuelu Academy.

At the gate of the academy, a few scholars were spitting and talking about something, and an old man with a white beard was sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom in his hand, and no one noticed Jiang Wei's arrival.

In fact, Jiang Wei's dress stood outside Yuelu Academy, which was a little out of place with this academy that had been inherited for four or five hundred years, and the people around him were wearing coarse cloth clothes, just he was wearing a flying fish suit of Jinyiwei.

The feeling of being ignored was not very good, Jiang Wei took the initiative to walk to the side of a few scholars and arched his hand: "Dare to ask a few brothers, do you know the old man Xu Hai who guards the academy?" ”

The scholars were interrupted, glanced at him with some displeasure, and then turned their heads as if they had not heard anything.

Jiang Wei suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again: "Dare to ask." ”

Before he finished speaking, one of the scholars interrupted his inquiry very dissatisfiedly: "Is there a tutor, I don't know if others should not interject when they are talking." ”

The typical southern accent may not be understood by ordinary people at first glance, but Jiang Wei can be regarded as a well-informed person who has traveled through the south and the north, so after being stunned for a while, he still guessed the meaning of this scholar's words.

raised a simple inquiry to the level of tutoring, Jiang Wei was immediately unhappy: "Ask at the lower exit, if Brother Tai doesn't want to say it, just say it directly, why humiliate others." ”

A tall man said loudly: "Oh, Jinyiwei, I am with you in Hong Kong, Changsha Mansion is so big, and people dare to talk to us in Hong Kong like this." We are here to talk about the doctrine of Zhuzi, the Hundred Schools of Thought, and you have a big boss who came over to interrupt our debate, saying that you are light if you don't have a tutor. ”

Jiang Wei couldn't help but snort coldly: "The people who are in this lake are all so unreasonable, I see that you are also scholars, but you don't have the appearance of a scholar." I really don't know how you read the scriptures of your sons, it seems that I asked the wrong person, I'm sorry, I'm bothered! ”

Several scholars were made red-faced by his ridicule of not yin and yang, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu has greatly promoted official learning, such as Yuelu Academy, which is a private school, inevitably has no confidence to go on.

Several governors of Changsha Prefecture are very concerned about Yuelu Academy, and from time to time they will encourage local wealthy businessmen to fund repairs, but unfortunately, the huge Yuelu Academy, the silver needed for repair is not a small amount. So far, after several generations of hard work, it has only made Yuelu Academy a little more angry.

Most of these students are children of poor families, who are from poor backgrounds and cannot enter official schools, but they are dedicated to learning, so they have to take refuge in Yuelu Academy.

Today's debate is whether official learning is better or private, and one of the several people is an official bachelor, so there is a dispute. Jiang Wei intervened like this, but it gave them a way to solve the deadlocked debate.

When Jiang Wei said how to read the scriptures and righteousness of their sons, almost all the scholars aimed their heads at this Jinyi Wei Qianhu from the capital.

Scholars are not afraid of you, as long as they feel that they are right, even if you chop off his head, he will not change his mind.

Especially this kind of poor scholars who have a meritorious name but are not officials, the Confucian righteousness they adhere to in their hearts is much stronger than those old fritters who have been in the officialdom for an unknown number of years.

The dignified Jinyi Wei Qianhu was surrounded by a group of scholars, which made Jiang Wei difficult. These scholars can't beat him, and they can't scold him.

Just when he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and wanted to pull out the embroidered spring knife to kill the Quartet, the white-haired old man who swept the floor snorted coldly and slammed the broom in his hand on the ground: "The academy is heavy, what is the noise, and there is no demeanor." ”

When the scholars looked back and saw the old man, they seemed to be more afraid of the old man, and they scattered one by one scolding.

Jiang Wei was still angry, but he also knew that the white-haired old man had good intentions, so he thanked him: "Thank you, boss, dare to ask him, do you know that there is an old janitor named Xu Hai in this Yuelu Academy?" ”

The old man looked at him and asked, "You little boy, what's the matter with looking for Xu Hai?" ”

Jiang Wei naturally couldn't say anything confidential to this white-haired old man, so he found an excuse and prevaricated: "The younger generation is Xu Hai's distant relative, and an elder in the family has passed away, so he has come to report the funeral. ”

The white-haired old man sighed: "Old man Xu has gone out, what you have is the same as my port." ”

"Uh. This is a big matter, and it is more appropriate for the younger generation to tell Xu Hai's senior in person. I don't know if the old man told the younger generation, where is Xu Hai now? Jiang Wei said with a smile.

The white-haired old man snorted, "Say it! What happened in the capital? ”

Jiang Wei hesitated: "You are." ”

The white-haired old man suddenly changed his face, and his appearance was still the same, but the momentum on his body had changed a lot, he looked at Jiang Wei and said coldly: "The people around Your Majesty are becoming more and more ineffective, you are so stupid, does Your Majesty know?" ”

Jiang Wei was first surprised, and then overjoyed: "You are Xu Haixu's senior?" ”

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let a brocade guard come all the way to Changsha Mansion to find me, is there something big going on in the capital?" Xu Hai said dissatisfied.

The remaining three of the nine guards of Tianmen are distributed in Tiannan and Haibei, and they basically returned to their hometowns, Xu Hai himself is from Changsha Mansion, so he naturally returned to Changsha Mansion.

Originally, it was not a problem for him to be the commander of Changsha's guard station, but he was unwilling, and Zhu Jianshen was not reluctant.

Jiang Wei whispered: "Senior, Your Majesty is critically ill, I'm afraid that time is running out, Your Majesty hopes that you can go back to see him." ”

"The previous emergency summons was because His Majesty was critically ill?" Xu Hai was stunned and muttered.

Jiang Wei nodded and stopped talking.

"Let's go, let's go." After Xu Hai was stunned, he immediately commanded Jiang Wei.

The old man is the old man next to Zhu Jianshen, and he has a lot of feelings with Zhu Jianshen, as soon as he heard that Zhu Jianshen was critically ill, the first thing he thought of was to return to the capital immediately and see the emperor for the last time.

What happened back then, and decades have passed, and even if there is a mustard in my heart, it is time to let go.
