Chapter 674: Wei Jue
His friends crowded around him and sighed, "The next time we meet bandits, if they don't have a good eye and don't look at your face, we will surely die."
Wang Xuan's face darkened, and he said, "My father is dead, I have to go back to collect the funeral for him, not to mention that my sister still doesn't know her whereabouts, I have to go back to Luoyang."
"Now there is another one," he said, raising the booklet in his hand, "I am going to defect to Zhao Hanzhang to avenge my father and regain the lost land."
"Whether it's for public or private purposes, I want to go back to Luoyang."
When his friends saw that he had made up their minds, they sighed and did not persuade him any more.
Wang Xuan also knew the danger on the road, so he didn't ask his friends to go with him, he said, "It's not very far from Langya, you might as well go to Langya and join the king of Langya."
He said: "There is no day of stability in the Central Plains, but there is Qingzhou above Xuzhou to block it, and there is no obstacle for the time being, but there are many thieves on the road, you should be careful."
The remaining three were shocked, "You want to go to Luoyang alone?"
Wang Xuan pointed to the subordinate who collapsed to the ground and said, "I still have a long follower, it's enough."
It's enough fart, there were more than 30 of them plus guards and subordinates before, and now 12 have survived, so they have escaped death from the hands of bandits several times.
If they really let the two of them go like this, maybe they will die quietly at the hands of the bandits.
Several of his friends hesitated, and immediately someone said, "I'll go with you."
Wang Xuan saw that he had no reason to go to Luoyang, stretched out his hand on his shoulder, and laughed loudly: "That's it, don't follow me, if you really want to go along, I still have to take care of you."
Wang Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll go by myself, hurry up, and the speed will be faster."
Pei Yang asked hesitantly, "Where did you get the horse?"
The other two also turned their heads to look at Wang Xuan together, yes, where did you get the horse?
They were constantly robbed, encountered thieves, and they just ran out of the bandits' den, not to mention the horses, they didn't even have money to eat.
Wang Xuan also stiffened, but he quickly became optimistic, waved his hand, and said, "Don't worry, wait until I find someone and write a fu with them."
When the three of them thought of Wang Xuan's words, their spirits lifted and they were all optimistic.
Wang Xuan is the leader of their generation, Fu writes well, and his words are even better, although his words are not as good as his father, but they are not far behind.
As long as you can find the local gentry, write down a letter, inscribe the name, and have a coil, maybe there will be horses and carts.
So everyone dragged them to their feet and called happily: "Let's go, move forward quickly, don't delay the time, it's hard to find someone when it's dark."
Everyone flocked to Wang Xuan to find someone who seemed to be living a good life.
Like Zu Ti and Wang Xuan, there are many scholars who were moved by Zhao Hanzhang's excerpt, and the general trend of the world she discussed in the article has been recognized by many people, and the future she looks forward to has also stirred up the hearts of many people.
Among them, the scholars who were forced to move south were the most.
They are the scholars who have moved south one after another because of the turmoil in the past two years, but their lives in the south are not easy, although there is no war here, but they are squeezed out and despised by the local gentry and gentry, and both physically and psychologically have been greatly hit.
If you want to say who wants to recover the lost land and stabilize the northern land, it is none other than these warriors.
The older people are no longer motivated, but many of the young people are ambitious.
Although the Great Jin Dynasty was chaotic at this time, it was not as decadent as it was ten years later, so many people, like Zu Ti Wang Xuan, closed the book and had to pack up the east and west and go north.
Some people decided to defect to Zhao Hanzhang, and some decided to go directly to Yuncheng to serve the emperor and Gou Xi.
Anyway, no matter who it is, the two parties will have to cooperate in the end and regain the lost territory together.
In a quiet courtyard in Poyang County, Yangzhou, Wei Jue leaned against the window and read the booklet over and over again, until there was a sound of walking outside the house, Wei Jue slowly closed the booklet, but he still held it in his hand and refused to put it.
When he saw his mother come in, he immediately got up and saluted, but he only moved, so Wang stepped forward quickly, held him down and said, "You and me, mother and son, why bother
Sit still."
She took the goat's milk from the maid's hand, put it on the table in front of him, and said softly, "You eat less in the morning, you should use more, so that your body can be rejuvenated."
Wei Jue should get down, put the booklet on the desk, pick up the bowl and drink it gently.
Wang glanced at the booklet, sighed and asked, "You've been reading this booklet for three days, why are you still reading it?"
Wei Jue drank the goat's milk, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Mother, my son wants to go back to Luoyang."
Wang's face didn't change much, but he asked, "Why?"
He said, "Originally, I took my mother south and separated from my brother to seek a life for the family.
"But we are northerners, even if I am courteous in the south, it is not easy for the Wei family to get ahead here, you have also seen the situation in the past two months, my Wei family wants to buy a piece of land, no matter how high the price, no one dares to sell it to us without the local gentry to relax, even if my Wei Jue has a good reputation here, it is in vain."
Wei Jue's fingers pressed the booklet, and his white fingers were only a little bloody in the sun, and he said: "I heard that Zhao Hanzhang has opened the recruitment examination three times, except for the recruitment examination, the rest of the time all the scholars who have served in the past, as long as they enter her eyes, she will not hesitate to hold an official position;"
"I also heard from merchants in Jiangnan that the commercial tax in Yuzhou is now extremely low, the lowest among the major states, and she also sent Zhao Jiajun to clean up the bandits on both sides of the official road to ensure the safety of the merchants." Wei Jue said: "Since she has such a heart, then her great wish to recover the lost land may be fulfilled."
Wang said in a trance: "With such great ambitions, how many men can't achieve it, can she do it?"
Wei Jue clenched the booklet in his hand, pursed his lips and said, "I think I can, and I want to give it a try."
Wang didn't speak for a while.
Wei Jue said softly: "Mother, this is for the family, originally, my brother was loyal to His Majesty, and I took the family to the south, first, to survive, and secondly, to find another way out, now it is just to replace the south with Zhao Hanzhang."
He said: "My brother and I are one east and one west, in the future, whether Gou Xi is in charge alone, or Zhao Hanzhang goes further, the Wei family will have a safe place."
When the Wang family saw that he had planned for the family to this extent, and that his eyes were tenacious, he knew that he couldn't stop him, so he sighed and asked, "Are we all going to move back?"
"No," Wei Jue said, "Mother and the clan brothers will go to Huiji, and I can take one or two clansmen back to Luoyang."
Wang was taken aback, "We don't want to?"
Wei Jue nodded, his eyes were sad, he held her hand and said, "Mother, I'm afraid I can't do my filial piety before, there is a strong enemy in the north, once Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi can't work together to recover their homeland, then the Central Plains will fall, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Sizhou will not be spared, let the family foundation stay in Jiangnan temporarily, if it is me and my brother...... There are still people in the Nawei clan who still exist, and if my brother and I have good news, we will move the clan back then."
