Recently, a lot of big things have happened in the court.

The Northwest Army has been cut, the Western Army has been newly built, the peace has been successful, the Huai Army has been split, and many ministers have been promoted or demoted because of these things, etc.

In the past few months, the people have received more information than in previous years, I don't know how many times. Some ordinary people who are related to low-level officials sell "inside information" that they don't know where to go, and cheat their neighbors about tea all day long, and sometimes even earn alcohol.

The split of the Huai Army naturally has little impact on the people at the bottom, even if it is placed in the court, it is a matter that can only be secretly understood but not explicitly said.

The people don't pay much attention to whether the Northwest Army will be divided into two halves, whether the Admiral can continue, and whether Princess Xianbei looks good or not, because there is a major event that has lasted for several years, which is about to kick off and successfully attract the attention of the people.

That is, the lecture martial arts.

Some of the still young martial artists plan to fight for a spot at the recruitment meeting of the Martial Arts Hall. Many people in Jindu are waiting for the opening of the Zhongnan Mountain Lecture Hall and can witness the grand event. There are also many children who are sent by their families to learn martial arts, and they want to take a martial arts exam in the future.

It's already October, and the autumn is crisp, and many students from the local government and students from the outer hall have entered Beijing one after another, plus the people in the family, Jin has become a lot more lively.

Many officials are busy contacting friends, relatives or outstanding students in order to prepare for the future. Even if it is a student from a different camp, it is not a bad thing to have more contact before the start of school: the beams that should be knotted should be knotted, and the companions who should be united should be united. Sooner or later, it will be.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are naturally struggles, and many major events that have happened recently, after the influx of students from all over the country into Jindu, some already complicated things have become even more complicated.

All kinds of discussions, all kinds of arguments, all kinds of conjectures, appeared at various meetings, and for a time the tavern and teahouse business in Jindu skyrocketed.

During this period, there was naturally friction between people who were not on the right path, and Kyoto Prefecture was in a state of anxiety during this time, and many reserve officials were transferred to use them as regular officials.

As the list of leaders of the Lecture Hall that some people had already set for came to light, visits and rallies became more frequent.

And the Weihou Mansion, although it has been stormy in the past few months, is still full of guests at this time.

There is no other reason, the three men of the Xie family who are still in Jindu are all in the leadership team of the martial arts hall.

Xie Yi, Xie Xiang, Xie Shence, is the only person in the entire Dajin who can achieve this feat as a family.

And the surprise doesn't stop there.

Honorary professor old lady, Xie Shenwei with the name of teaching.

The Xie family went into battle and occupied five places in the martial arts hall! The three generations of the family are all on the roster of the leadership team that has been leaked out internally.

Some people were dumbfounded, although Xie Yi Xie Shence had already been decided, but the other three people hadn't moved before!

Some people who thought that the Xie family had begun to decline couldn't help but secretly wonder if they had made a mistake.

Of course, there are some people who think that it is just a return to the past. After all, except for a Xie Shence who is in charge of the precepts and a Xie Sheng who is in charge of logistics, the others don't have much effect.

Even Xie Yi, who is the vice president, does not have much authority in actual study. Their energy is reflected in the distribution of cadets after graduation.

On this day, many people came to Weihou Mansion as usual, first Gu Shunxing and his very good friends, followed by the protégés of the Xie family, and not long after, General Yulinwei and Miss Li also came to visit.

General Li and Xie Yi were chatting happily about something in the Weihou Mansion, and many people around him laughed from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Li Qiqi was talking to a female family member in the backyard. As the benchmark figure of the Jindu Women's Army, Li Qiqi gradually has a tendency to "retire" after becoming an older leftover girl, and is ready to focus on getting married, and the beautiful name is the return of the lady. However, Xie Shence always maliciously said that she couldn't get married and started to be anxious, which made her angry repeatedly.

Xie Shence, who spoke in the front yard, had no intention of interfering, and he didn't care about the career and relationships that some people cared about, and some people always had some scruples when they talked about certain topics when they saw him present - probably because of the status of the Admiral of the Knights, so the two sides often had embarrassment.

Although the atmosphere was driven by Xie Shang and General Li, there was no obvious pause, but the embarrassed person must have experienced it. So he quickly found an excuse to leave.

When Xie Shence left, he obviously saw some people breathing a sigh of relief. Especially the two juniors, who were already very nervous in front of their elders, plus a legendary murderous and cruel Xie Shence, he rarely spoke. Xie Shence left, and the biggest stone in their hearts was removed, and it is estimated that there will be many more speeches in the future.

Gu Shunxing found an excuse to chase him out, asked Xie Shence some personal questions, and also put forward his own views on some standards for receiving people and things.

These Xie Shence undoubtedly interfered, but when Gu Shunxing said it, he also said a few words in passing, to the effect that he wanted to recognize some people, and not to be deceived on the surface or something.

Wang Jiehua, as the de facto hostess, has succeeded Sima and become the main person who presides over the women's gathering.

In this case, although Xie Shence passed through the back hall, it was impossible for her to come out to accompany him. So he shook his head at Wang Jiehua's slightly apologetic smile, and thanked Shence and went straight back to the small courtyard alone.

It was late autumn, and one maple tree in the yard was already red, while the other trees were withering with yellow leaves.

There is no continuous national ancestry, and there is no gate valve that will never decline. According to the current situation, looking at Emperor Jin's determination, the decline of the Xie family is inevitable. Xie Shence did not expect to be able to maintain the current strength of the Xie family in the Jin capital, but only hoped to slow down the steps of Emperor Jin to weaken the Xie family. As for development, that's wishful thinking.

He just wanted to shift the Xie family's focus out.

In fact, this is also the consensus he reached with the old lady a long time ago.

It's just that the idea at that time was to build the northwest first, and then gradually transfer.

However, Emperor Jin has already seen through everything?

Xie Shence didn't believe that Emperor Jin would have such a great ability, his operation in the northwest seemed obvious, but in fact, every step was reasonable, and it couldn't be shown at all on the surface, so naturally it wouldn't attract the attention of many people.

What's more, he has the intelligence system in the northwest, and if he really wants to hide it, no one will be able to really detect it.

It's just that it happens to overlap with Emperor Jin's plan at the moment.

Hehe, it's a coincidence that Xie Shence here has just begun to make a move, and the Jin Emperor over there began to cut the Northwest Army, and then the Huai Army was split - it was really lucky.

If Wang Zhen split the Huai army without the secret ventilation of Emperor Jin, he would not believe it if he killed Xie Shence.

The series of relationships between Emperor Jin, King Qi, and the Wang family, Xie Shence felt that he had touched the core part.

Or is this the reason why they are in a hurry to change the weakened Xie family from a part to a whole?

Xie Shence was shocked, remembering the words that Xiucai had written on the ground before he died, looked down at the ground for a while, then smiled, and walked into the study to prepare to deal with the paperwork of the Ti Qi Division.

Groups of martial arts students walked aimlessly on the street, greeting each other or going to a certain restaurant to drink together.

A richly dressed man with a slender willow sword saw a strong young man walking by with his head down, grabbed his hand, and said, "Dou Liang! How is it alone? Let's go, go drink, the scholars of Huaiyang Road are in for a treat today. I went to look for you before, but you weren't there, but it happened that I met now. It's all fellow countrymen, and you don't have to be restricted."

The man said enthusiastically, and several men next to him also turned around with a smile and said with a smile: "Let's come together, anyway, your little son of the Gu family in Jiangnan County is also here, so it's easy to talk."

Dou Liang thought for a while and said, "Forget it, if you have something to do today, you can't leave, another day, another day."

"Hey, last time I said another day, and this time it's again."

"If you don't come again, you really won't give face."

"Fellow villagers, you really look down on us if you don't come a few times"

These people tried their best to persuade them, and they seemed to be unhappy with Dou Liang's repeated refusals.

This kind of posture is generally difficult for people to have the idea of rejection, especially if they are richer and more powerful than you. They are willing to bend over, pretending to be aggrieved and ask you to give a face to have a meal, as the farmer's son, Dou Liang knows how he should choose.

But in the end, it's still hard to choose, isn't it?

"Dou Liang, I know that you are teaching martial arts to those children now, but you can't leave anything in a day, besides, how much money is it, today you come, I will let Geng Escort take you about teaching martial arts, how about it?"

Dou Liang hesitated.

However, in the end, Dou Liang still refused.

The group saw that the persuasion was hopeless, so they had to give up.

"This guy"

"For the sake of a few copper plates, I gave up such a great opportunity."

"They are the inner hall students of the martial arts hall, recommended by the Huai Army, and approved by the Ministry of War."

"So what, the Huai Army is not the Huai Army of the past"

"Hugh more! Jin is not Huaiyang Dao, there are many people with mixed eyes, and you must know that trouble comes from the mouth. ”

The man in Peliujian shouted, apparently touching on some taboos in their previous conversation.

There are no five people in the line, all of them are members of the martial arts hall, but unfortunately, all of them are members of the outer hall.

As a child of a family in the first and second lines of Huaiyang Road, it is already very good to use up family relationships to get a place in the outer hall, and it can even be displayed in front of outsiders, but life is always so boring.

A farmer's son is actually on the recommended list of the Huai Army, and he is still a place in the inner hall of the Eight Classics. It is said that it has not been verified and approved.

The farmer's son, hey, where did they put their faces on?

But having said that, there is no entanglement of interests in itself, and they are all Huaiyang Dao people, so it still matters if they are together. Not to mention whether this Dou Liang has a deep background and scenery, just because he only entered the Modao Battalion of the Huai Army last year, and he was recommended for the place of the martial arts hall this year, his own strength is definitely not bad.

Such a person should be befriended at the end of the period before the rise.

As the children of a family who have been playing tricks with people since birth, they can understand these issues.

However, repeatedly throwing out eyebrows and eyes were blocked by white eyes, no matter how good these people are, they can't help but complain again.

Because of a few poor children, they gave up the township gathering, which is a big pretend.

However, after the Liu Jian man reprimanded him, they skipped the topic.

"By the way, is the Xie family really as rumored, it's no longer good?"

"Nonsense, of course it's fake!"

"The whole family has entered the upper echelons of the martial arts hall, which family can decline so domineeringly?"

"It's impossible to say how light will return."

"I don't know what happened between the Observation Envoy and the Grand Duke."

"Even my father kept silent about this kind of question, I really don't know."

"Actually, it's not necessarily a return to the light. The Northwest Army is the Northwest Army, the Huai Army is the Huai Army, and the Ti Cavalry Division is the Ti Cavalry Division. ”

"And that makes sense. Didn't many people say that the Admiral couldn't do it anymore? How long has it been, and it's not good? ”

"Gu Gongzi has a very deep relationship with the Xie family, and he may be able to get some clues tonight."

The group walked into the Crane Tower, where Gu Shunxing held a gathering of Huaiyang Taoist priests and students of the Lecture Hall.

However, not only the people of Huaiyang Dao, but also some of Gu Shunxing's classmates also came to participate, and by the way, they also brought a lot of people, so in general, tonight's Xianhe Tower brought together outstanding scholars and students from several state roads.

When the wine was half-drunk, the Liu Jian man finally invited Gu Shunxing, pulled him to this table, drank a few glasses of wine, and talked for a while, so everyone gradually led the topic in the direction of the Xie family.

"Gu Gongzi has a relationship with Lord Admiral, if you can invite Lord Admiral over tonight, the party will be perfect."

Gu Shunxing said with a smile: "Actually, I couldn't get away tonight, but the day was already set a few days ago, even if something happened suddenly, I had to come." Besides, I am also lucky to be able to meet all of you. Mr. also has a banquet tonight, and I really can't take a break. ”

When he said this, everyone treated him politely, to whitewash himself and cover his face.

One person smiled: "Haha, it's also a blessing that we can get together with Gu Gongzi." I just don't know what's going on with Lord Admiral."

This was said abruptly, so the man seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Haha, it's rude, it's rude, I'll punish myself for a cup." ”

Everyone also laughed and said that he was reckless and deserved to be punished. So the man looked up and took a cup.

Gu Shunxing watched him finish drinking, and said with a smile: "Actually, I also came back from Mr.'s mansion." Since you have asked, it is okay to talk about it. ”

"I had nothing to do today, so I made an appointment with a few friends to visit Mr.'s house, I didn't want Mr. to be at home, and there were already many protégés of Master Taifu, so I started talking. Not long after, General Li and Miss Li of Yulinwei also came to the door, and then talked about the matter of the martial arts."

Gu Shunxing said, people listened attentively, but the faces of several people gradually changed.

The original intention was that the Xie family was about to decline, and Gu Shunxing, as a protégé of the Xie family, naturally could not have much confidence, and it was good to take the opportunity to suppress the momentum, but he didn't want to hear these things.

General Li is one of the three generals who defend the imperial city, and as the general of Yulinwei, he can always look up to Tianyan, and his status is high, Gu Shunxing can actually talk to him on the same scene, which is really jealous.

What's more, Gu Shunxing revealed an important information, that is, General Li personally visited the Weihou Mansion.

The information in this is a bit huge, and for some people who don't know enough, it really takes time to digest.

Gu Shunxing said some chatting content, which surprised many people, and thought that being able to learn some inside stories in advance would be of great help to future activities, and tonight's party was really not in vain.

And they also understand that some of what Gu Shunxing said is of course something they will know in the future, some of it will take hard work to know, and some can also be called internal information, and it is naturally okay to talk to fellow villagers.

But there's still nothing he can say!

After all, there are some things that are impossible to say. Gu Shunxing must have something to hide.

-- This is the level gap.

Gu Shunxing said a few words casually, and they could be of infinite use, so how much resource information did Gu Shunxing himself have?

This is something that some people envy and hate.

And in this way, they also have a clearer understanding of the Weihou Mansion and the Xie family.

It turned out that the Xie family, which had begun to decline in the eyes of people, was still as strong.

What's more, judging from Gu Shunxing's words, the Xie family showed no signs of decline at all. Not to mention General Li, it is Xie Shence who left the table bored halfway, which is very revealing.

Lord Admiral is not in the martial arts hall where almost everyone is extremely cautious

Of course, Gu Shunxing was a young genius, and he only used a few short sentences to describe Xie Shence's boring appearance at that time.

"I probably think that some words are not suitable to say to us, who knows, sir, must be very boring, but after all, Lord Shilang and the general are here, so I didn't say anything, just briefly mentioned something"

When Gu Shunxing was speaking, another fellow Taixue came over, and said by the way: "You said Lord Admiral?" I really didn't dare to talk to him, hehe, I'm not afraid of jokes, my hands were in my sleeves at the time, otherwise I would have known that I was trembling nervously. ”

Everyone laughed and laughed, as if they didn't care.

Naturally, this kind of conversation couldn't last long, and after a fellow disciple came over, Gu Shunxing also left this table, went to another table, and continued to drink.

The Liu Jian man glanced at several of his companions, as well as the others at the same table, smiled, and then pulled away from the topic, so everyone began to enforce the drinking order again. After a few people joined, the atmosphere reached a climax again.

Gu Shunxing drank to the end, he was still slightly drunk, and his seemingly blurry eyes were about to be unable to open, but he still kept talking.

His fellow disciples knew that he was a little drunk, so they were busy blocking the wine for him, and then had people help him up to the hut several times.

After coming back, Gu Shunxing talked more, and on a table in the middle, he talked loudly about the new girls' school next door.

Which adult's young lady is the most beautiful, and which adult's young lady is what kind of personality, it is like a few family treasures, which provokes several Jindu people to participate in the same family, and many people listen around and constantly coax.

On this night, about ninety percent of the people were drunk.

It wasn't until late that they went back in groups of three or five in the carriage.

Of course, many more go to places that men love to go to and continue their nightlife.

Gu Shunxing woke up in the middle of the night, and in the room rented by Tai Academy, he sat in front of the bookcase in his clothes and wrote and painted.

If Xie Shence was here, he would definitely be surprised that this kid was serious, he just said it casually, and he took it seriously.
