0882 Kanto relatives and friends
Hanling Mountain is located in the south of Yecheng, and in the old years, Emperor Gao Huan of Shenwu once defeated 200,000 Erzhu coalition troops here, thus laying the foundation of Gao's hegemony.
Today's Hanling Mountain naturally does not have the magnificence of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, but instead of the continuous farmland under the slope, and there are also many Yedu people who are here to renovate the garden industry. When you are tired of the troubles in the capital, it is quite a relaxing and relaxing time to come to the countryside for a while.
Located in a garden on the north slope of Hanling Mountain, today's cars and horses come and go, and there is an endless stream, which makes this small manor very lively.
In the manor, Wang Songnian sat in the guest seat next to the host, and his son Wang Shao stood beside the seat, looking at the relatives and friends sitting in the courtyard, holding the wine glass and saying with emotion: "Although the old days of suffering are hard, but thinking of all relatives and friends running to rescue and encourage them not to give up, I also look forward to seeing each other for a long time. It's just that the people who went to the disaster on the same day no longer have such an opportunity, which makes people think about it......
After everyone here heard this, they couldn't help but sigh for a while, especially those who had blood and family ties and deep feelings with the murdered people, and they couldn't help but hide their faces and weep.
However, after witnessing the severe punishment suffered by Wang Songnian and several others in the name of slandering history, everyone did not dare to directly provoke and question this topic, and could only talk about other things to vent their dissatisfaction.
But there are still those who are still resentful and have the courage to continue to express their opinions.
A young man about 20 years old in the banquet looked depressed and swallowed his anger back then, so he couldn't help but say coldly: "Is the history governed by man the voice of a lifetime? This world does not speak, and there are future generations who will ridicule it! What the prince and others did before, in history they are straight, in love they are filial piety, this trip is not allowed in the world, what is this world?"
"The slave is drunk, and he can't talk nonsense!"
The owner of this manor, the descendant of Wang Meng, the former prime minister of Qin, and Wang Xi of Beihai heard the young man's angry words, so he raised his hand and frowned at him and said.
The young man's name is Lu Sidao, the small character is a slave, he was born in Fanyang Lu's family, and he is also a disciple of Hebei Dacai and Hejian Xing Zicai.
When he heard the rebuke of his master Wang Xi, Lu Sidao first apologized to his people, and then couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "It is indeed a rude kid to speak evil words and disturb the master. However, what Wei Shu has seen, is it because no one can match the strength of historical talent? It is only because of the clever and soft bending that it is favored, and it can be controlled calmly, so it is used in history. However, the day can not be permanent, today you are fighting for your life and it is not easy to read, once the heavens have changed, the next day Wei Harvest will be personally cut and changed......
These words frightened everyone present, criticizing the entire Northern Qi World Dao before was already exciting, and now it is even more heavenly, even if this kid dares to say it, everyone will not dare to continue to listen.
Fortunately, most of the people gathered in this manor today are dissatisfied with Wei Shui and other scholars and the current political situation, and they are also inextricably linked with each other, belonging to the kind where one person is unlucky, and everyone else will inevitably suffer. Therefore, although this young man Lu Sidao's words were very presumptuous, and even a little rebellious, everyone only reprimanded him for not allowing him to make trouble again.
Although Lu Sidao was a little arrogant, he was not stupid, and after hearing everyone's reprimands, he sat down in the seat and stopped making nonsense.
At this time, the doorman came to tell a bookseller surnamed Li to post a post outside the manor to ask to see, and after hearing this, Wang Songnian said that the bookseller was invited by him, and ordered his son Wang Shao and the Wang servant here to go and introduce Li Licheng into the manor.
"This Li Ziyun used to be a person from Luoxia, and later lived in northern China with his family. It coincided with the Western Dynasty Li Boshan entering the north and rewarding industry and commerce, so he took it as a business. After the destruction of Gangneung, many literary books flowed out of the market, and he also took the opportunity to collect many treasures. Because Westerners do not attach importance to classics and academics, they took the risk of carrying books to the north and came to Yedu......
Since Wang Songnian wants to introduce Li Licheng to his relatives and friends, he naturally has to inquire carefully about his origin, although this is also Li Licheng's one-sided statement, but at least it makes sense logically. The Southern Dynasty flourished in literature and education, while the Western Wei Dynasty did not attach importance to academics, even if his words were concealed, what kind of big conspiracy could a city bookseller hatch?
Hearing Wang Songnian talk about Li Boshan in the Western Dynasty, everyone suddenly had a conversation again. For others, Li Boshan and its related stories are unattainable stories of emperors competing for hegemony, but for them, this is the matter of children with relatives working hard in a foreign country, and every small detail is enough to make people appreciate it for a long time.
In the interval between the bookseller's entry into the village, everyone talked about things related to Li Boshan, in addition to his various majestic deeds, and inevitably involved relatives and friends affected by him in the east.
"How are Brother Manrong and the others doing? Brother Songnian has he ever gone to mourn? It's a pity that Yanzhou has a lot of talent and ambition, but it turns out to be a good year......
Someone in the banquet asked Wang Songnian again, and Wang Songnian also responded with emotion.
At this time, Li Licheng had already been ushered to the occasion of the party in the manor, but everyone at the banquet was talking at the moment, and they didn't bother to greet him, a little bookseller, and he also stood quietly aside, listening to everyone talking about the affairs here, and after listening for a while, he understood what they were talking about.
Li Tai had previously become famous in the Western Wei Dynasty and led his army to attack Jinyang, which caused an uproar in the Eastern Wei Kingdom, so his relatives and family members who remained in the Kwantung region were brought to Jinyang to take care of them.
Later, his family took advantage of the chaos to leave Jinyang and go to Guanzhong, although there was no time to investigate it at that time, but after that, the Northern Qi court expanded the scope of the attack, and all the other Li clansmen in Longxi were exempted from official imprisonment and not allowed to go out, such as Li Qianzhi, who did not leave with Li Li and others before, and all returned to live in Yedu Township.
Not long ago, Li Qianzhi's brother Li Zazhi died of illness, which shrouded the already uncertain future of the family.
There were many relatives of the Li family in Longxi, such as Wang Songnian's cousin is Li Qianzhi's wife, and the young maniac Lu Sidao is still Li Qianzhi's son-in-law.
Now Li Boshan's momentum in Shannan is becoming more and more majestic, and even the people of Hebei know that the Kanxi Yuwen black otter steals chickens and rice, and wants to sanction Li Boshan, but he is countered by him, and Li Boshan is even more vigorous to attack Jiangling, and most of the personnel essence of Nanliang is under his command, and his power suddenly swells.
Speaking of these things, the young man Lu Sidao became energetic again, and couldn't help but knock on the case and said, "The current is talking about several virtuous families, and there is no shortage of people who respect Yang Zunyan and Li Boshan as both east and west! But as far as I can see, although Yang Zunyan is also favored today, he is too inferior to Li Boshan! It's a pity that Li Boshan was born too late, and the Wei clan's talisman has been coerced by the town soldiers, and he has to commit himself to the Black Otter Sect.
It is also natural for young people to look up to their more capable peers and despise the old guys, which is already relatively low-key compared to the arrogant speech in Lu Sidao's previous head. And after everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but groan.
Ever since the Six Towns Mutiny, the situation of their Kanto clan has been awkward. Er Zhurong's Heyin Revolution directly slaughtered their families like pigs and dogs, although Li Yu and other representatives of the clan assisted Emperor Xiaozhuang to kill Er Zhurong, but the trampled dignity and deprived position were difficult to recover after all.
In terms of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, although there has been no shortage of positive responses from the Kwantung clan since the time of Gao Huanxin's capital Jianyi, the role of the Kwantung clan in the Gao clan's hegemony has always been superficial, and it is difficult to access the core power, and it has always been forced by the Xianbei warriors.
In the process, their Kanto clan is also actively trying to reverse this situation. For example, when Gao Cheng entered the auxiliary government of Yedu, the Kwantung clans such as Boling Cui Clan, Cui Xian, Cui Jishu, etc., ran before and after the saddle.
Although Gao Cheng plotted his life and dramatically died, the investment of the Kanto clan was not for nothing. Their biggest advantage is that there are many people, Gao Cheng died, Gao Yang came up again, and after Gao Yang came to power, his henchmen Yang Su and others were naturally reused.
Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, has been fighting abroad all the year round, and the government affairs of the country naturally need to rely on his own henchmen. With the death or ambush of Gao Longzhi and other old ministers one after another, Yang Su gradually became in the court
Showing the trend of the mainstay, it can be said that the government affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are decided by one person. Since the Six Towns Mutiny and the townspeople came to power, there is no one in charge of the famous family who is more incompetent than Yang Su.
As for Li Boshan, which rose in the Western Wei Dynasty, it is a different meteorological situation. Although he is a latecomer, his rise is extraordinarily rapid, and the surprise attack on Jinyang and the number of broken Heyang are even more like a shock, especially the fact that he has successively defeated many Jinyang nobles, which makes these Kwantung clans feel a sense of joy and pride with honor, and it is also the source of their confidence in the face of Jinyang nobles.
Therefore, although Li Boshan's achievements are all in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty is far poorer and weaker than the Northern Qi Dynasty, when everyone in Hebei talks about his people, they can't help but look down on him and Yang Su, who was the ruler of the dynasty, as the representative of the famous family in the world. Of course, in the eyes of some young people such as Lu Sidao, Li Boshan's achievements are even better than Yang Su.
Li Licheng stood aside, listening to these relatives and friends in Hebei talk about their views and evaluations of the King of Taiyuan, and he also had a special feeling in his heart.
Although he knew in his heart that the current King of Taiyuan, whether it was his merits or pattern, was far from being able to be measured by the current of time outside these positions, it was also quite interesting to hear the half-understood and serious discussions of these people.
Everyone talked freely for a while, and then turned their attention to Li Licheng, and when Wang Songnian got up to introduce to everyone, Li Licheng also stepped into it and saluted everyone present one by one. At the same time, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed and curious in his heart, there were more than a dozen people present, but there were no his brothers.
Because of Wang Songnian's introduction, everyone present was more polite to Li Licheng, and of course they were more interested in the books he could provide.
Li Licheng no longer wasted time building relationships, and directly listed the list of books he had and the books he brought today. Everyone looked at the books and looked around the books, each full of wonder and curiosity.
During the Eastern Wei Dynasty, before the Hou Jing Rebellion, the relationship with the Southern Liang State was relatively harmonious, and there was no lack of cultural exchanges between them. However, both sides have their own cultural biases, and both have their own scriptures and doctrines that they refuse to pass on.
Now what Li Licheng brought to Hebei are all representative essence scrolls selected from the Jiangling collection after the pacification of Jiangling, and these Hebei clans often hear their names but do not see their texts, but they did not expect to be able to see the whole volume from Li Licheng, a small bookseller, at this time, and they are pleasantly surprised.
Some of these people are simply curious and eager for knowledge, while others have more ideas.
For example, Wang Songnian is still angry about the history of the "Book of Wei", so he wants to use the historical materials that Li Licheng can provide to invite some like-minded people to privately cultivate a book outside the "Book of Wei", so as not to become an isolated history after thousands of years, and it will be even more irrefutable.
Although under the harsh punishment, it was difficult for them to express their doubts and denials of the Book of Wei through normal channels, but they were not willing to admit that the historical books written by Wei Shu were facts and truths, and at least they had to leave some evidence on paper for later generations to cite and overturn the case.
Li Licheng listened to the discussions of these people, and his understanding of the personnel of Northern Qi was also deepening. At least in terms of literature and history, today's Northern Qi is also uneven, one faction is naturally a faction of rightful historians represented by Wei Shui, and the other faction may not be called a faction, mainly Wang Songnian and other slander history and some unsatisfactory currents.
If the intentions of Wang Songnian and others are relatively pure, then the intentions of others are even more complicated.
For example, Wang Xi, the owner of the garden here, called Li Licheng to the table and said with a smile: "Li Jun traveled thousands of miles and took the risk to import many classics of history into our country, no matter what the original intention is, this sentiment is really valuable. These classics are all the words of the former sages, when the market pawn is sold to sell money and silk, it is inevitably insulting, if it can be spread in the world, educate the people, the merit is by no means money and silk vulgar things can be measured. I am serving the Changshan Palace, the king is a scholar and has a lot of affection for people with noble sentiments like Li Jun, I don't know if Li Jun is willing to enter the palace to serve the king?"
Li Licheng was stunned when he heard this, and then the thoughts in his mind quickly flowed.
Gao Yan, the king of Changshan in the Northern Qi Dynasty, is the brother of Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, and now serves as Shang Shuling in the Northern Qi court. And the Wang Xi in front of him, Li Licheng heard these people talk about it before and knew that he was serving as the friend of Changshan Wang, and he was also the confidant of Changshan Wang Gaoyan, which was probably similar to the relationship between the previous Qi lord Gao Yang and his henchman Yang Su.
Of course, Li Licheng also hoped to infiltrate the upper-level personnel of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but he didn't expect Wang Xi, the confidant of the King of Changshan, to directly solicit him to introduce him to the Changshan Palace.
Although he also thinks that he is personable and has a good demeanor, there is still a little distance from the stunning demeanor of King Taiyuan at first sight. This Wang Xi wanted to recruit him when he first saw him, probably not because of him, and in addition, his most valuable thing was to be able to provide these books.
After thinking about it in his mind, he hurriedly made a look of surprise at a loss, rubbed his hands and lowered his head, and said, "The small people, the small people are just some lowly merchants, how fortunate is it, to be so elegant and respectful, to be able to serve the king?"
Seeing that he was so excited, Wang Xi said with a smile, "But if there are talents available, why should the king be stingy? Shannan Li Wang Keding Jiangling has not been long ago, even if the Jiangling scriptures have flowed out, it will inevitably not flood the world. Li Jun was able to collect so many scriptures and send them to the north, presumably he also had a lot of connections in Shannan. No matter what kind of character you are outside, or what your intentions are in our country, as long as you can continue to import the Gangneung classics, I will ask for your position in front of the king."
When Li Licheng heard this, he also laughed, but he didn't have the slightly contrived excitement before, and he was a little more attentive and calm.
He pointed to the scrolls that were still being circulated by everyone on the side, and said with a smile to Wang Xi: "These scriptures are only the treasures of those who know them, and the waste paper that those who don't know are just waste paper. I can't bear to let the scriptures be dusty in Kansai, so I went north and threw myself into the knowers. It's just that I don't know how much these scriptures are worth in the eyes of the prince?"
Wang Xi saw that Li Licheng's demeanor and temperament had undergone some changes, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and after a little muttering, he said, "How rich can Li Jun be when you are a person?"
This slightly witty conversation between the two quickly attracted the attention of the others present, and they all turned their eyes to it.
Wang Songnian, who introduced Li Licheng here, is also looking with great interest at how Li Licheng responds to Wang Xi's scrutiny, and it is not ordinary people who can transport so many books for long distances, especially those who have academics and know the value of these books, and they can realize that Li Licheng is not simple.
Nowadays, the three kingdoms are in full swing, and the flow of people between them is also common. These people are not involved in any affairs, so they do not have to be vigilant in their interpersonal interactions in daily life, and they do not have to be vigilant and resist all strangers.
This Li Licheng has something that they are interested in, and it is naturally nothing to have a relationship, if the other party really exposes any bad intentions and dangerous atmosphere, it is not too late to deal with it.
Wang Songnian introduced Li Licheng to these relatives and friends, in addition to sharing knowledge, he also hoped that everyone would see what was wrong with this person and whether he should continue to interact.
But he didn't know that Li Licheng's identity, origin, and purpose were beyond his imagination, and it was not something that could be easily shaken off or easily solved.
