Chapter Eighty-Eight: Talking Therapy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After Mi Huang returned to Beijing, he never saw Sima Yue because he fell ill.

I don't know what the reason is, Mi Huang doesn't dare to guess, anyway, Situ's health has not been very good in the past two years, and it has been deteriorating, and it is normal to be sick.

But the rumors that went viral still made him can't help but speculate.

Thinking of the end, I just sighed.

He couldn't help but think back to the scene from seven years ago.

At that time, he was just a supervisor, supervising the first army of soldiers and horses for Sikong, and Shao Xun was just a chief.

Seven years have passed, and the world is full of turmoil and dazzling.

What has happened in the past seven years may be more than in the past 20 or 30 years, and it is even more shocking.

It's as if something suddenly sped up, making people extremely uncomfortable, and then subconsciously wanting to do something, but it got worse and worse, and finally came to this point.

"The Great Jin Dynasty is dying, right?" Mi Huang sighed helplessly.

Well, in fact, he doesn't care so much about the death of the Great Jin Dynasty, it's just a change of people. But he is more concerned about his benefactor, after all, he is a member of the Sima family. Under the nest, how many eggs are gone?

Shao Xun shouldn't care much about Sima, unless it's a woman with the surname Sima......

Mi Huang grinned, very ugly.

"Grandpa." Mi Zhi walked over and saluted.

Mi Huang looked at his eldest son, and there were more than twenty people outside the door.

Some came from Hongnong, and they were his old subordinates who became acquainted with Hongnong when he was too punctual.

Some are from Luoyang, petty officers who defected after the purges of the forbidden army.

There is also a group of people who came from their hometown in the East China Sea, and they are the backbone of the family trilogy.

"Go, go back to Songshan." Mi Huang waved his hand and said, "Now there are homeless people everywhere, you are good at business." ”

"Thanks to last autumn, I was persuaded to plant wheat." Mi Zhi sighed: "If it rains this autumn, we have to plant to avoid next year's locust plague." ”

"You have an idea, Grandpa is very pleased, go, don't go back to Luoyang if you have nothing to do, and practice Zhuangke well." Mi Huang waved his hand and said.

"Yes." Mi bowed straight, and then left with his subordinates.

There are more than 1,300 households in Songshan Wubao, which can pull out 2,000 dings.

It was not easy for them to farm and practice in the mountains and cope with the current situation.

But where is it easy now?

No matter how hard it is in the mountains, it is safer than Luoyang.

Moreover, when Luoyang fell into a big war, Songshan Dock could also be used as a garrison point for Shao Xun.

Yes, it is for Shao Xun.

Mi Huang was already desperate for the forbidden army.

The forbidden army, which had undergone the Great Purge, no longer had the strength to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, and could only defend around Luoyang.

Even if it was a field battle with the Xiongnu, it must be a battle against the city, and it was impossible to go on an expedition.

He once talked to Shao Xun about military affairs.

Shao Xun believed that it was the first-class army that could attack deep into the enemy's territory, the second-class army that could attack within one's own territory, the third-class army that could defend the city in the enemy's territory, and the inferior army that could only hold on to one's own territory.

Offensive and defensive, the requirements for the quality of the army are not at all at the same level.

Today's forbidden army, probably between the third and fourth ranks, has fallen a little fast.

From now on, they will most likely only be beaten passively and defend the city.

And the situation in Luoyang, in the end, must not be able to hold it.

It's difficult.

******

Mi Huang stayed in Beijing until mid-June, when he received permission to enter Situ.

On June 16, he hurried to Situ Mansion.

"See the princess." When he saw Pei's, Mi Huang bowed and saluted.

Concubine Pei returned the salute, and then said softly: "Don't worry, Zihui, Wang Taiwei, Pan, and Liu are all here, just speak carefully." ”

"Thank you, Princess, for mentioning."

Concubine Pei drifted away.

Mi Huang sighed.

After learning that Situ was seriously ill, the princess returned to Beijing with her son and took care of it herself.

This made Mi Huang not know how to say it.

After coming to the bedroom lightly, he saw Sima Yue half-leaning and half-lying on the couch, looking gloomy, quietly listening to Wang Yan's words.

Mi Huang looked at it quietly and almost shed tears.

Situ was already clear, but after a serious illness, he was so thin that his cheekbones bulged.

His eyes are also a little cloudy, and he is no longer as attentive as before.

It seems that the interruption of Luoshui has hit him very hard.

"Situ." Mi Huang saluted.

Sima Yue turned his head and looked at Mi Huang, his eyes flickering a little, very complicated.

"Sit down." Sima Yue raised his hand weakly and said.

Mi Huang sat down, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Wang Yan continued to speak: "The saying of Wei Wei is prosperous in the Later Han Dynasty. At that time, the "Five Classics" could not be changed, and Confucian scholars continued to modify the scriptures in order to be lucky, and the theory of gods and ghosts was constantly introduced. ”

"Yifu is saying that the Wei Wei is made by Confucian exegesis, and it is not believable?" Sima Yue asked.

Wang Yan stroked his beard and did not answer this question directly, but said: "The former Han Dynasty has nine articles of "Hetu" and six articles of "Luoshu", and the texts received by Yun from the Yellow Emperor to King Wen of Zhou. There are also thirty articles, and the cloud has been added to Confucius since the beginning of the nine sages to broaden its meaning. Such as "Hetu Chifu Fu", "Hetu Emperor Lan Xi", "Luo Shu Zhen Yaodu", "Luo Shu Excerpt from the Dead", "Confucius River Luo Yu" and so on. ”

Then these Han books are actually left behind by the previous generations. Thousands of years later, the people who have passed the scriptures do not know how many, each has a purpose, and there is no shortage of people with ill intentions, in order to achieve the ulterior purpose, scribbling the weft. ”

Speaking of which, he gave a few examples.

Sima Yue listened very attentively, and his solemn face was slightly relieved.

Wang Yan had been quietly observing Sima Yue's face, and his heart gradually calmed down when he saw this.

He did not completely deny the theory of the Wei Wei, but started with the large number of Wei books, pointing out that the content of the Wei Jing Wei books is very complicated, and there are people in all dynasties who add private goods, and there are even contradictions in the evolution.

It's a classic form of speech. Even if 99.9% of the content of a book is correct, as long as 0.1% is problematic, then it can be chased after and attacked, confusing the public, completely denying the book, and creating a preconceived impression.

Sima Yue is obviously in.

"After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, the scriptures became official studies. However, the affairs of the world are all-encompassing, how can the classics of hundreds of years ago cover everything? Therefore, Confucian scholars use the doctrine of prophecy to penetrate and attach to the meeting, so as not to attack the Confucian classics. The perfect 'warp' can only be perfected by the 'weft'. Wang Yan said again.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power and concocted a large number of wefts. At that time, the prophecy was overflowing, and Wang Mang not only did not prohibit it, but connived at it and even rewarded it. However, after Wang Mang usurped the throne, he immediately ordered a ban on the control of Wei Wei, which can be seen from this. ”

Sima Yue bowed his head slightly when he heard this.

Mi Huang couldn't help but nod, he felt that he was about to be convinced.

"The wise and wise kings are all disdainful of what he says." Wang Yan observed his words and continued: "Han Guangwu once issued a plan to the world to stereotype the Wei Wei and curb its development. ”

"Emperor Wu of Wei once forbade internal learning, and forbade the destruction of the doctrine of Wei Wei."

"Emperor Wu of the Dynasty forbids the study of star qi and latitude."

"Therefore, it is not enough to believe it, Situ should not worry."

Wang Mang once frantically concocted the theory of Wei Wei in order to ascend to the throne, and immediately issued an edict to prohibit it after ascending to the throne.

After Liu Xiu pacified the world, he promulgated the diagram in the first year of the Zhongyuan Dynasty (56), which actually stipulated the format of the prophecy, and the final interpretation was vested in the official version, in fact, in order to curb the development of the doctrine of the prophecy.

But this kind of official behavior has also made Wei Wei a prominent scholar. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the doctrine of weft was very prosperous, and Confucianism also used it extensively, even to the point that warp and weft were indistinguishable.

Even if it began to be suppressed at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this doctrine has taken root and cannot be suppressed for a while. At this time, it is still one of the compulsory subjects for the children of the family.

Wang Yan said so much, it seems that he doesn't believe in Wei Wei, but you ask him why he is always at home alone to study the diagram and even fortune telling?

"What Yifu said seems to have some truth." Sima Yue's face looked much better, and then he looked at Pan Tao and Liu Yu, and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

"Situ, this must be a plan for the Huns, aimed at separating Situ and Luyang County, which is not credible." Pan Tao said immediately.

Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, as if he felt that this would not give birth to civil strife, and he should focus on the overall situation, so he echoed: "What Wei Wei said is illusory. Luyang County is arrogant, greedy for money and lustful, and has done a lot of evil, or some people have been slandered. ”

"Situ has been recruited all times, and the Dukes of Luyang County have sent troops to accompany him, and his loyalty and courage are commendable." Mi Huang said.

Sima Yue was puzzled, and finally nodded suspiciously.

When he first heard the news that Luoshui was cut off, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground heavily.

After waking up, I couldn't wait to ignore anything and kill Shao Xun on the spot, but fortunately, I was persuaded left and right to stop the churning killing intent.

This will be enlightened by Wang Yifu for a while, and his heart will feel much better, and his murderous intent will be much lighter.

But the thorn in my heart couldn't be pulled out, but it got more and more into the flesh.

When the Huns are repelled, they still have to start solving this matter.

It's better to believe in what you have than what you don't have.

And after thinking of the Xiongnu, he asked again: "Shilekou Julu, Changshan and other counties have wantonly levied and issued people, and the number is up to 100,000, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Situ, this matter has to fall on Wang Youzhou." Liu Yu replied: "Maybe he can be ordered to take charge of the northern counties of Jizhou, take charge of military affairs, and exterminate Shile." ”

Sima Yue hesitated.

This is for Wang Jun's name, and he is not very happy.

The best way is to fight for Wang Jun for the imperial court, and after defeating Shile, he will retreat, and Julu, Changshan and other counties are still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The imperial court can give Wang Jun a name, but it can't give him a promotion, and it can't give him territory, this is the bottom line.

"Wang Jun will enter and suppress Shile first." Sima Yue said.

"No." Liu Yu should get down.

"The Huns are bound to go south." Sima Yue said again: "In this war, there must be a boss, who can do it?" ”

It stands to reason that Sima Yue is the undisputed coach, but his current physical condition is really unable to command - of course, there may be other factors.

Several people subconsciously looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was a lieutenant and lieutenant in the Northern Army, and it was almost a matter of course to command the forbidden army to fight.

Sima Yue glanced at Wang Yan, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In addition, he didn't want to concentrate too much power in the hands of one person.

"That's it." Sima Yue waved his hand and said, "Cao Wu and Wang Kan guard the ferry to prevent the Xiongnu from going south, and we will discuss the rest later." ”

After speaking, he looked at Mi Huang again and asked, "Zihui, the situation of going south, talk to Lonely." ”

Mi Huang stepped forward and carefully explained the situation of the meeting with Shao Xun.

In his way, of course.

For example, Shao Xun asked for money, food and equipment, and his tone was very bad. Mi Huang only mentioned that the red land in the south was thousands of miles, the people were waiting to be fed, and Shao Xun's army was short of food, and begged the imperial court to allocate grain from Taicang for relief.

And so on.

Sima Yue listened to it and was noncommittal.

I was about to say something, when suddenly I felt dizzy, and I couldn't do it.

He could only wave his hand weakly and said, "Shao Xun led the crowd north." As for the money, food and equipment, Yifu, you can watch and give it. ”

"Okay." Wang Yan nodded and responded.
