0886 The smoke is back

In the Wang manor, which is still located in Hanling Mountain, several large truckloads of books were transported in, and Wang Xi personally instructed his family to carefully carry these precious books into the room and preserve them properly.

"These essences of southern literature have been spread in Hebei by Lao Junhou, so that all studious people can study scriptures."

With Wang Xi's help, Li Licheng also came into contact with many relatives and friends in Yecheng during this time, and those who were willing to follow Li Licheng to leave Hebei for Xiangyang also made statements one after another, and Li Licheng also reciprocated Li by giving these books to Wang Xi.

During this period of time in Yecheng, through his own observation and the time flow he came into contact with, he learned that compared with Yang Su, Wei Shui and other powerful literati of the world, the Wang Xi brothers were the core figures of another group of family members.

The salient characteristics of most of these people are that they are not valued by those in power, and they have some personal grudges or political differences with those in power. For example, Wei Shu's Xiushi offended a large number of Kwantung clans, and Wang Xi's brother Wang Xin had a disagreement with Wei Shu in his early years. There is also Lu Sidao's teacher Xing Zicai Hejian, and there is also a certain competition between Wei Shui.

Because of the performance of King Changshan, these people are faintly centered on the Wang Xi brothers. And Wang Xi, as Gao Yan's henchman, does have the intention of creating momentum for Gao Yan and recruiting talents.

At present, Gao Yan is serving as Shang Shuling in the court, and he can be called a high-ranking power, but as the brother-in-law of Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, this identity is more or less taboo, and it is always difficult to openly form a party for personal gain.

But if you add a layer of academic exchanges, it will look much more pleasing to the eye, and at the same time, it can also gather a group of Hebei clans around him, making Gao Yan's prestige between the government and the opposition more lofty.

Wang Xi couldn't help but smile after hearing Li Licheng's words, and nodded again and again and said: "King Li of Shannan is magnificent, worthy of being a famous family, not only advocating academics, but also willing to share with the masses. If the Kanto scriptures and etiquette can be more innovative because of this, King Li's contribution will be great! ”

The scholarship of the Kanto region focuses on the scriptures and the righteousness, and the etiquette is weak. The major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, participating in various sacrificial ceremonies are also of great benefit to the creation of a country's magnates. The Southern Dynasty is unique in the study and inheritance of etiquette, and if it can be supported by classic materials in this area, it will undoubtedly create a new academic space.

The books brought by Li Licheng this time focused on various historical books, which was naturally to add fuel to the already controversial historical revision of the Northern Qi Dynasty. In addition to various historical materials, there are also some related ritual books.

Wang Xi knew that His Majesty the Emperor was now supportive of the Book of Wei, and he didn't want to make any provocative attacks on it, so he wanted to participate in various ceremonies in the name of King Changshan. If things go well, then it can be called of great significance to King Changshan, for him personally, and for the entire family.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that Li Boshan's operation was of course not purely good-intentioned, and it was estimated that he still wanted to strengthen the influence of the Li clan in Longxi on the Kwantung clan, and even had more far-reaching plans.

But no matter what kind of intentions the other party has, it is difficult to operate directly in the territory of Northern Qi. And he can rely on a more relaxed situation to achieve his own goals in it, and this kind of communication between them can also be called taking what they need.

Not only Wang Xi was quite satisfied with this interaction, but when all the books were delivered to Wang Xi, Li Licheng was also relieved.

If the Wang brothers want to use this to expand their influence in the current situation, they naturally need to edit, review, and disseminate the contents of these books, which is equivalent to the Taiwan government having an additional group of standard-bearers for voluntary propaganda in Hebei.

When these academic theories from the Southern Liang spread in Hebei, they will naturally cause extensive discussion and speculation, and in the process of dissemination, it will inevitably cause defects and deformations of academic theories, and the best way is to trace them back to the source.

For example, with the great prosperity of Buddhism, a large number of Buddhist scriptures have been translated and spread, and even more obsessed Buddhist scholars have traveled thousands of miles to the birthplace of Buddhism to learn scriptures. Compared with Tianzhu, which is thousands of miles away, it is undoubtedly much closer to Xiangyang.

When Hebei is attracted to Xiangyang through this channel, there will be more circulation, then Shannan Province will naturally have a sense of cultural superiority and assimilation in front of Hebei.

After the handover of these books was completed, Wang Xi said with a smile: "These classics are not easy, Li Langhao gave them to me, although I smiled and accepted them, but I should not say nothing." Because he knew that Li Lang's return journey was far away, if he sent too much money and vulgar goods, it would drag down the trip. Relatives and friends who stay here, I will definitely do my best to take care of them, Li Lang doesn't have to worry about this! ”

This was originally what Li Licheng wanted to request, and when he heard Wang Xi take the initiative to express his position, Li Licheng also thanked him again and again. Although Wang Xi is not as powerful as Yang Su, it is not difficult to shelter and take care of a few low-key relatives and friends of the family.

Although the communication between them was quite pleasant, Li Licheng's stay in Yecheng was a hidden danger after all, so Wang Xi quickly asked again: "I don't know if Li Lang will return to date?" ”

"Recently, I have been discussing with a few relatives and friends, and if you can leave quickly, of course, the sooner the better. But a few of the relatives and friends are too far away to communicate with each other. ”

Recently, Li Licheng has mainly been in contact with relatives and friends who have settled in the vicinity of Yecheng, but those who have not settled in Yecheng are not easy to contact. For example, Lu Shuhu, who is far away in Fanyang Township, is the uncle of Taiyuan Gong, and it is naturally best if they can be led to Xiangyang together, but Fanyang is still far away from Yecheng, and it is difficult to communicate without a month or two.

When Wang Xi heard this, he sighed again: "It's not that I am tired of associating with Li Lang, but the Holy Driver will return to Yedu from Jinyang soon, and all the accompanying armies will also rush back to Dugi, and the guards in Dugi will be much stricter than now." If you can leave before the return of the holy car, it is naturally the best, when you don't go, I am afraid that there will be aftermath! ”

As a confidant of King Changshan, of course he knows many secrets of the court, such as when the Qi lord Gao Yang will return to Beijing, which needs to be prepared many days in advance, can also be known at the first time.

Li Licheng frowned immediately after hearing this, and he did not relax his vigilance because of the lack of danger in the recent period, after all, as long as there is an accident, not to mention that his own life has to be confessed here, I am afraid that the relatives and friends he has contacted in recent times will also be guilty.

So after he left Wang Xi's manor, he went back to the city to discuss with Li Tang and a few relatives and friends, and decided to be on the safe side, and leave before the Qi lord Gao Yang returned to Yecheng.

This time, the people who want to follow Li Licheng are mainly the remaining members of their Li clan in Longxi, his younger brother Li Xinze and a nephew, as well as Li Qianzhi and others who did not leave with Li Li and others before.

In addition, there are Wang Songnian, Wang Shao's father and son, who were the first to contact Li Licheng, Taiyuan Wang's family and Longxi Li's in-laws are close, Wang Songnian was sentenced for slandering history, and he felt that he might have a bleak future if he stayed here, so it was better to simply go to Xiangyang.

Wang Xi still has some regrets about this, Wang Songnian is well educated, and he is also good at government affairs, he originally planned to wait until the slander of history to introduce Wang Songnian into the Changshan Wangmen, but after hearing that his person has been born, he buried this intention in his heart and did not reveal it again.

The young maniac Lu Sidao also wanted to go to Xiangyang, but he was all in the family, and he didn't dare to be too willful and affect his family, so he could only endure it, and he was still thinking in his heart that if Uncle Lu Shuhu was also willing to go to Xiangyang, he could go with him.

When the group left, Wang Xi went to see them off, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, in order to avoid them being intercepted on the way and exposing their whereabouts, Wang Xi also arranged some procedures for them to evade inspection, disguised as a group of monks.

Facts have proved that this arrangement can be described as very wise, because after Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, arrived in Yedu in August, he soon set off a vigorous action in his country to destroy Taoism and rejuvenate Buddhism, demolishing Taoist temples, Taoist priests were all ordained monks, and Taoism was not allowed to spread in Northern Qi again, and the status and power of monks were suddenly greatly improved.

As this edict spread in all directions, Li Licheng's Sangha suddenly became more prestigious, and not only did they not get trouble and search in the territory of Northern Qi, but even some county and county officials even greeted and provided food and drink.

Because they still had to go to Qinghe County, they did not follow the road they came from, but left Yecheng and went east, first entering Qinghe County to visit Qinghe Cui's family.

The Cui Zhan brothers of the Cui clan in Qinghe are still guarding filial piety in the township, and they have already been informed of this by Wang Xi's envoy, and there has been some discussion within the family, and it was decided that Cui Zhan and other children will leave with Li Licheng, leaving only Cui's brother Cui Zhongwen in the township to take care of the family business.

After the group left Qinghe, the team grew larger, but the itinerary became smoother. Although the Kwantung clan is weak in the DPRK, it is still quite considerable in Zhufang Prefecture, especially after crossing the Yellow River, Xu Yan Prefecture, where many relatives and friends hold positions, and they naturally take care of them.

After a detour to Xu Yan and continued southward, when leaving the area with strong control from the Northern Qi Dynasty, in addition to the need to guard against bandit harassment along the way, the obstruction from the authorities could be ignored. All the way to the Huai River and then along the Huai West, you can smoothly return to Shannan Road.

It's just that when they had just traveled to Xiapi, they were shocked to hear that the Southern Liang in Jiangdong had undergone drastic changes again, and many of the people who had been repatriated to the Southern Liang had fled north in groups. At the same time, there were also signs of recruiting men and horses in Northern Qi to prepare for war.

Faced with this situation, the group could only travel day and night in order to reach a safe place as soon as possible. And not long after they traveled Shouyang, tens of thousands of troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty had already slaughtered Huainan again.
