CHAPTER XXVI
In the early morning of the second day, Mi Zhu left the East China Sea early again, of course, Mi still has its own way and way of survival, but it is not so capable of being on the stage compared to the bright surface. Mi Zhu only took two guards and left the East China Sea in a hurry, and all of this could not escape Xu Ji's calculations, no one would be willing to be manipulated, Mi must have a back hand, but whether this back hand can change the Chen family's pressure is not yet known.
As soon as Mi Zhu left, Xu Ji was also happy to spend with Mi Fang, picking out some good things to say on weekdays, and the words were also plausible and did not clearly indicate the meaning, for Mi Fang, Xu Ji, a twelve-year-old child, seemed extremely tricky, Xu Ji's lazy attitude made him nowhere to start, so he simply ate and drank well and did not come in person, after all, he still needs to take care of Mi's business, in fact, he is also extremely busy, and it happens to be cheap Xu Ji, Mi Fang's distinguished guest Mi's people dare not slack off.
And through the conversation with the people of the Mi Clan's Mansion, he also quietly explored another important place of the Mi Clan, and Mi Zhu unsurprisingly went to this place, and this is also the real hometown of the Mi Clan.
However, it is said that Xu Ji is still in the East China Sea Mijia continued to wait for Mi Zhu, and the court on the other side has been chaotic, the dispute between relatives and eunuchs gradually began to become clear, the general He Jin recruited a large number of Qingliu celebrities represented by Yuan Shao to serve for himself, and the relatives were not to be outdone to bewitch Emperor Ling appointed a large number of officials who obeyed the orders of the ten permanent servants to resist, and at this time the border trouble recurred, the outbreak of this incident made the battle between relatives and eunuchs temporarily stopped, and Emperor Ling once again enabled Zhang Wen in the mutual compromise between the two sides.
Said that Zhang Wen is indeed a controversial person, this person is indeed capable, but the private section is criticized by Qingliu, nothing more than because his position as the third prince is obtained by serving the ten permanent servants, which is the most despised by Qingliu, but Qingliu can't deny that this person does have real talent and learning, this time the compromise between relatives and eunuchs is also covered because the turmoil in Liangzhou is indeed a bit big, the Qiang and Hu people collude with each other, and there are more side chapters, Han Sui is the general, and he will attack under Jincheng overnight, Less than a day after the news reached Luoyang, there was news that Jincheng had been broken, and at this time, the people who could go out to fight as generals were either He Jin's subordinates, which was not allowed by the ten permanent servants, or they were generals who held important positions, which obviously could not be transferred, and Zhang Wen became the best choice at this time, because Zhang Wenji was not a party of relatives and was not exactly a lackey of the eunuchs.
At this time, something happened that Xu Ji did not expect.
In the sixth year of Guanghe, in January, Julu people Zhang Jiao started an incident in Julu, with the slogan of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious" to raise troops against the Han Dynasty, which also opened the prelude to the troubled times.
This is what Xu Ji did not expect, in his opinion, this is not a good time, because at this time, the situation in the world will be chaotic in an instant, Xu Ji faintly began to feel uneasy, less than three days after the uprising, there were Yellow Turban Sect members in various states and counties, as many as hundreds of thousands of people, almost ten or nine county guards around the country, and countless officials and officials were killed.
Within a month, the 28 counties of the seven states of the Han Dynasty were all in flames, and the yellow turban was like a bamboo, and Luoyang was shaken.
And Xu Ji, who was still stranded in Xuzhou, was already in chaos, he expected that the Yellow Turban Uprising should not be so hasty, and Xu Ji's reaction to the wealthy families in Kwantung was also in his eyes, obviously they were also unexpected.
Xu Ji felt deeply worried.
Yingchuan.
Guo Jia was also extremely anxious at this time, Xun Yu also said that he had no way to do anything about this matter, he was not worried about Xu Ji Guo Jia, he was worried that although the plan had started earlier, it was still difficult to accept the turmoil that Xu Ji had predicted a long time ago.
To be honest, Guo Jia doesn't have many people at hand, Xun Yu and Xun You obviously can't directly participate in this matter, but fortunately, Xu Ji has already made arrangements, and Yingchuan is not the core area, so the pressure on Yingchuan is not great, and this county guard is also anxious because of the Yellow Turban, but he liberated Guo Jia.
At this time, Xu Ji finally saw Mi Zhu again, or the place where they met last time, Mi Zhu still had a calm face, but Xu Ji had clearly felt Mi Zhu's panic, for this kind of uprising, Mi this kind of merchant family is the most terrible, once the yellow scarf swept Xuzhou, then Mi Shi is afraid that the family will be bankrupt in an instant, and the once prominent Mi family will also be wiped out.
Seeing Xu Ji walk in, Mi Zhu poured a glass of wine very politely: "Xu Gongzi, Mi Zhu is deeply disturbed that he can't be friendly with Xu Gongzi because of family matters, please drink this cup,"
Xu Ji respectfully took a drink and drank it all, put down the cup casually and said: "Brother Zizhong, Wen Lie is telling the truth, if the elder brother does not return, Wen Lie must also say goodbye, my parents at home have suffered in troubled times, and I have to return to my hometown to take care of the second elder." ”
Mi Zhu nodded: "Wen Lie's filial piety is commendable, just like that." ”
Xu Ji also stopped pretending and said, "Brother Zizhong, you must have something to say when you came to me, right?" Wen Lie is eager to return home, so you might as well say it directly. ”
Mi Zhu also smiled after hearing this: "Refreshing, Wen Lie must have seen and heard, my East China Sea Mi clan is really struggling now, I heard what Zi Fang said to me some time ago, I was deeply touched." Wen Lie, what do you think of my Mi family? What do you think of this already chaotic world? ”
Xu Ji smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of fine sand in the potted plant: "If today, just like this handful of fine sand in my hand, full of scattered sand, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty is over." Don't think that the yellow scarf will be fine if it is pressed down, the world will only get more and more chaotic. As for the Mi family, Wen Lie was not as disdainful as the general clear stream, as I said, the merchant is like living water, the flowing water is not rotten, and the household hub is not beetle. If there are no merchants, how can the country be strong and the people rich? ”
"Then what is the way out for the Mi clan?"
Xu Ji smiled: "This is Mi's road, not Xu Ji's road, I don't know." ”
Mi Zhu was also not persistent, and asked again: "What is Wen Lie's ambition?" ”
Xu Ji smiled: "Although Wen Lie is only a Confucian student, he also has strong ambitions, and my generation should inherit the legacy of the sages, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!" Wen Lie knows that it is not easy, but he is willing to exhaust his life's work, just to prove that grasshoppers can also shake trees, and mantis arms can also be used as cars. ”
Mi Zhu also smiled: "Although the ambition is commendable, there is some Meng Lang, right?" ”
"Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. What is life if you are born and cannot do what it means? ”
Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "How old is Wen Lie, but he can't be as old as Wen Lie, it's really ashamed, ashamed." ”
Xu Ji returned the salute: "After all, Wen Lie has not been tribulated, so he can't help but be a little arrogant, but Wen Lie still has a word, which is said by a monk who travels to Fang, and Wen Lie is very happy with his momentum and remembers it privately." ”
"I want to hear about it."
"What's the use of giving birth to me? Can't laugh; What is the use of destroying me, not reducing arrogance. If you think you are sad, you are sad, but you don't have a lot of pride. ”
Mi Zhu nodded and exclaimed: "This monk is indeed talented, and the pride of this generous and tragic song is exactly what my generation should remember." Wen Lie, you have already seen the Mi family's current situation, if you say that I am out at this time, is it okay? ”
Xu Ji cleaned up his mood and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, but Wen Lie thinks that the time has not yet come, although the yellow scarf is turbulent, it is also an opportunity, and now there is no place for you to settle down in Xuzhou. ”
"Chicken ribs? Exactly, when does Wen Lie think is the best? ”
Xu Ji smiled: "Wait for the right time, I am not a god, how do you know when is the best?" Brother Zhong, the lifeline of the Mi family, should still be in control of himself, how can my generation be at the mercy of others? Brother, Wen Lie has a saying in his heart, judging the situation is the most important, don't act in a hurry. In the hands of the elder brother, not only the life and future of a person, but also the hands of the whole family, and in the hands of the elder brother, everything is prudent. ”
Mi Zhu gave a big salute: "Thank you Wen Lie for your advice, today I heard Wen Lie's words far better than I have been looking everywhere for many years, Wen Lie, there is not much I can help you now, but there is a need in the future, and I will never shirk it for my brother." ”
"Brother is not cautious again, can my brother know that if this sentence is not for Xu Ji, he can easily cut off the Mi clan? Brother, the scourge of the Yellow Turban will inevitably not last for a long time, the court only needs to send generals, and it can be pacified in a few months, but the princes in various places are afraid that it is a foregone conclusion, and the opportunity for the elder brother may be at that time. ”
"I made a note, when is Wen Lie going to return home?"
"Now that I've said what I want to say, let's start today."
Mi Zhu nodded: "That's it, it's fine." Mi Qian. After that, Mi Zhu called out his name outside the house.
As soon as the words fell, a young man walked in outside the door, his face was white, but his eyes were extremely sharp, just like Chen Dao back then, Mi Zhu pointed to this young man and said: "Wen Lie, this is the best guard by my side, my Mi family business is quite large, I don't need it much, you are ambitious, I can't help you too much for my brother, so I can only help here." ”
"Brother, this ...... I'm just afraid it's not good, brother, you ......" Mi Zhu interrupted Xu Ji's words before he finished speaking: "Wen Lie, for my brother to know your ambitions, now that you are still young, come to Xuzhou to find me when you reach the crown, and I will give you a big gift when my brother arrives." ”
Xu Ji stopped talking, took a step back and bowed deeply, and pointed to the sky with three fingers to signal that he had written it down, Mi Zhu also smiled with satisfaction, twelve-year-old Xu Ji, Mi Zhu who was just the crown, two people who were originally unrelated were strangely involved. The two brothers, who are commensurate with each other, are planning the world, but also history.
