Chapter 72: Defection?
"Su Shiqiao has heard of me?" Jiang You couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Naturally, I heard that Brother Jiang and Zai were generally from the Shu clan, but they won the first place in the county examination in one fell swoop last year; they are proficient in arithmetic, and they have their own abacus in their hearts, and they took up important positions in the Privy Council with the rank of martial arts. Su Yi arched her hand, her face very humble.
Jiang You didn't expect that Su Yi not only knew his name, but could even tell his deeds, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a flash of excitement, and said modestly: "Where, where, in front of Su Shichou, who dares to claim to be talented." ”
Ji Xianling on the side was worried that Su Yi would say bad things when she interacted with a genius of the same generation for the first time, and she was ready to play a round for Su Yi, but she didn't expect Su Yi to be so sharp and skillful, without any stage fright, and she was surprised in her heart, so she pressed the idea of helping, and prepared to see how Su Yi would deal with it next.
Subsequently, the affairs of the Imperial Court pointed to an older young man who was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and introduced: "This is the celebrant envoy, Cheng Ziang." ”
Cheng Ziang immediately stood up and bowed his hand to Su Yi: "Ahem, Su Shichou, I haven't seen you for a few days, when the martial arts temple blessed you a few days ago, the martial arts uniform and epaulettes on your body were handed over to you by me." ”
Su Yi thought that the celebrant envoy was the official in charge of the sacrificial work in the Privy Council, which could be said to be indispensable, and those who could hold this position were all people of excellent character.
"Long admired the name of the elder brother, I heard that two years ago there was a royal history in the Cheng came to Sushui County to visit, when visiting the sages of the Wumiao there were many violations of etiquette, Cheng brother is not afraid of the powerful, blatant accusation, the imperial history of the Cheng not only did not have a grudge, but changed the past, sighed that there are such talents in the county, and afterwards the Cheng brother was recruited as a virtuous son-in-law, which can be a good name for the ages. Su Yi arched his hand.
Cheng Ziang was happy in his heart, and said humbly on the surface: "It's just a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about." ”
The affairs of the Imperial Court smiled, and pointed to the last old man and said, "This is the priest and the envoy, and the teacher is hopeful." ”
The priest is the official in charge of the education of the military Tao, and is responsible for the education of a place, and cannot serve unless he is knowledgeable.
"If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas." Shi Chengwang is a person who does not smile, and he does not be polite to Su Yi, and directly quotes the famous sentence in "Xunzi Persuasion" to warn Su Yi, which means that without the accumulation of every step, it is impossible to reach a place thousands of miles away, and if small rivers do not converge, they cannot form large rivers and oceans.
Su Yi's face turned pale, and he immediately realized that this was the elder reminding him that he must continue to accumulate, and must not be satisfied with the small achievements in front of him, so as to give up the pace of progress;
"Angry and forgetful of food, happy to forget worries, I don't know that old age is coming. Su Yi immediately responded with the self-description of Confucius in the Analects of Confucius, which means that he was so angry and worked hard that he forgot to eat, and the joy of learning made him forget all his sorrows, and he didn't even know that he was about to grow old, so as to express Su Yi's own will to work hard.
"Good!" the elder was overjoyed.
Ji Xianling looked at Su Yi's side face that was laughing and calm, and his expression was a little trance-like: If Su Yi is just a genius, it is not terrible, what is terrible is that this genius still knows how to be a man.
And everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that the old man, who had always been old-fashioned and unsmiling, would show a smile because of Su Yi's answer.
After the three of them were introduced, Su Yi asked: "I heard that there are four divisions in the Privy Council, and now the envoys of Si Lu, the envoys of ceremonies, and the envoys of the priests are all here, making the humble house shine, it is really an honor for a small life, but I don't know where the envoy of the guards is?"
The envoy of the guard is the official of the Privy Council in charge of the military security of a place, and cannot be held by a person who is not of high rank.
Ji Xianling's expression was a little strange, and he said, "The Privy Council Envoy is Captain Li. A few years ago, he won the third place in the examination, and was awarded the title of Captain of the Eighth Rank Xuanjie that year, and then went to serve as the front-line garrison officer and the guard envoy of Sushui County. ”
Su Yi nodded, and then listened to the affairs of the Huangfu Academy: "Hehe, that Li Xin is very rigid, thinking that Sushui County is on the front line, and the garrison cannot be relaxed in the slightest, so I don't plan to participate in the celebration banquet of Su Xian's nephew, let me convey his apologies on his behalf, and there will be a small gift tomorrow." ”
Su Yi naturally understood the importance of the garrison task, but she was muttering in her heart, "I am in an important position, but I still have to spare two hours every afternoon to teach me to dance the knife and double shooting, is it okay", this sentence was in front of everyone, Su Yi did not say it.
"Captain Li is indeed a conscientious person, but if he hears afterwards that the dignitaries and dignitaries of the whole county are gathered here tonight, and he can't come to participate, I'm afraid he will be able to regret it. Cheng Ziang shook his head and smiled.
"Yes, if it's just me and other acquaintances in the county government and the Privy Council gathering to celebrate Su Shitiao, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. Jiang You also said, "But today's banquet is huge, and the theme is not only to celebrate Su Shichou, everyone is gathered here, and everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to broaden their contacts, don't believe you." ”
Jiang You looked around, Su Yi saw that it was indeed the case, more than a dozen tables of people in the main hall and in the courtyard, each table drank happily, persuaded each other to drink, and said some polite words, and people who were not familiar with each other also took this opportunity to get acquainted with each other, and they were happy.
A table of people in the courtyard saw Su Yi's gaze, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and toasted Su Yi together, and Su Yi also smiled back.
"Hehe, tonight Su Xian's nephew has built a bridge for the local gentry, if the business and trade in Sushui County will be more prosperous in the future, the performance appraisal of my ministry can also go further, and Su Xian's nephew will make great contributions. Ji County Ling couldn't help it, and raised his glass to toast to Su Yi.
Su Yi smiled and wanted to pay tribute in return, but the wine in the glass was empty, and when she was about to pour the wine, she saw a pair of Qianqianyu hands reaching out, and the wine pot in her hand was tilted, pouring a full glass of wine for Su Yi.
Su Yi turned her head to see that Su Shi'er was looking at him with a smile.
It was obviously a celebration banquet for Su Yi, but Su Shi'er seemed to be happier than Su Yi, even though she was busy inside and outside the kitchen, her forehead was already dripping with sweat, but it was still difficult to hide the excitement between her eyebrows: the greater Su Yi's fame, the more capable he is, how can Su Shi'er not feel happy?
Su Yi saw Su Shi'er's expression, her heart warmed slightly, took the wine jug in her hand, hugged her willow waist, and hugged her to her side.
"Come, let me introduce to you, this is my sister Shi'er. Su Yi said, "Sister Shi'er has been with me for 12 years, and after the death of my mother, she raised me for 10 years. ”
Several tables of people in the main hall stood up together and solemnly bowed to Su Shi'er to show respect.
"I have heard about Su Shichou's childhood for a long time, and I am very embarrassed, and I can only thank my wife for cultivating such talents as Su Shichou for my human race. One bowed deeply.
"No, no, I didn't do anything...... Su Shi'er looked very embarrassed and uneasy when she was thanked so solemnly for the first time.
Others also praised Su Shi'er for being virtuous and generous, but some of them looked a little strange.
In the Bingfeng Continent, although it is mainly based on the ideology of soldiers, the ideas of other families also have a profound impact on the human race. This sentence was first recorded in "Mencius Lilou Shang", the dialogue between Mencius and Chun Yuji, which means that when men and women express their feelings, they must be subtle and tactful; whether they give or receive gifts and tokens, they must maintain respect for each other and not let each other feel embarrassed when showing love, so as to be polite.
Later, the meaning was developed to avoid intimate physical contact between men and women, which is etiquette.
At this moment, everyone saw Su Yi hugging Su Shi'er's slender waist, and they didn't shy away from suspicion at all, if this was on a more formal occasion, it would be extremely rude, but this is Su Yi's own home, and everyone thought that the two had a close relationship and were like sisters and brothers, and some physical contact between sisters and brothers was too normal, but it was not so disgusting, so they all felt relieved and didn't plan to worry about it more.
Su Yi and Su Shi'er both noticed the strange sights of some people, Su Yi pursed his lips and pretended to be stupid directly, as a person with advanced thoughts, he never cared about these meaningless red tape, but Su Shi'er was a little flustered, and whispered to Su Yi, "I'm a little inconvenient here, and I still need help in the kitchen, I'll go first." ”
"Sister Shi'er, go back to your room to rest, don't be busy, and leave everything to your subordinates. Su Yi said in a low voice.
"No, today is your great joy Yi'er, I can't let go of all my heart and hand it over to my subordinates. ”
Su Yi rolled her eyes, had to let go of her hand, Su Shi'er made a solemn blessing salute to everyone present, and then left the main hall.
At this time, Jiang You said: "Su Shichou, now that your reputation is so famous, it is likely that it has spread to the north bank of the Yangtze River; if you are okay at home, if you have something to go out, you must pay attention to the safety of your relatives, and don't let those secretly defective troops take advantage of it." ”
The people at the same table also nodded their heads, all believing that the matter was important.
"Defectors?" asked Su Yi.
"It is those in Jiangbei who surrendered to the barbarians, were willing to be the pawns of the barbarians, and even turned against their fellow Terrans. Jiang You's face was a little unsightly.
Speaking of this, the people at this table were also indignant and scolded in a low voice.
"Isn't that a traitor, can the Holy Dao tolerate this kind of person?" Su Yi was stunned.
"The rebel army does not follow the holy path of soldiers, but only takes the left road. Jiang You replied.
Su Yi looked ignorant.
Seeing this, Cheng Ziang explained: "It is naturally impossible for the Holy Dao to tolerate those who defect to the enemy and commit treason, but Su Shiqi does not know that only after forming a military heart can the prince of the world truly set foot on the Holy Dao." The military spirit can bring countless benefits to the scholars, but as long as the military spirit is shaken or collapses, the cultivation will be reduced and completely abolished; as long as those defective troops do not form a military spirit, they will not be squeezed out by the Holy Dao, but their strength will always lag behind the normal scholars, which is the so-called partial and left-hand way. ”
"Can you elaborate on the matter of the military's heart?" asked Su Yi.
