Volume II: The Harmony of Yin and Yang Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Embracing All Rivers

"Oh! Hanwen! Sure enough, the hero is a young man! The official didn't look at the wrong person!" Wang Wencai politely welcomed He Hanwen into the mansion, and his praise was overflowing.

He Hanwen was a little tired, but he was also embarrassed to sweep Wang Wencai's interest - he knew that killing the Qingyun Dao Commander would prevent Yecheng from sending troops to clear the refugees, and Wang Wencai was also for the country and the people.

However, He Hanwen is a low-key and sassy person, as the so-called "brother is not in the rivers and lakes, but the prestige of the brother is spread in the rivers and lakes". is the so-called follow the good deeds and don't publicize them, and smile slightly and hide merit and fame, that's what he thinks.

Therefore, He Hanwen just waved his hand lightly, smiled smugly, and then said: "A little trick is not worth mentioning, and it depends on Li Shen to destroy the demon Dao." Hanwen is a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, so it is impossible for Hanwen to kill the demon Dao. ”

Wang Wencai cordially took He Hanwen's hand, patted the back of He Hanwen's hand gently, and said with a smile: "Where is Hanwen! By the way, the junior sister looks very unenergetic, isn't she secretly injured?" Wang Wencai keenly noticed Li Shen in He Hanwen's arms, and the latter was sleeping soundly at the moment.

He Hanwen put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent movement, and then motioned for Wang Wencai to lean his head over and whispered: "Li Shen used all his strength for that blow, I'm afraid she was exhausted, let her rest well." After speaking, he carefully placed Li Shen on the goose feather cushion next to him, and asked for a ball of pu fans, and gently fanned her, Li Shen turned over comfortably, revealing half of his belly.

Wang Wencai didn't bother when he saw it, he just stroked his beard and smiled.

"Hanwen will take a break, start the meal immediately, as for the junior sister, I will let the cook cook some food alone and send it to the room later. Wang Wen said that, he summoned a miscellaneous servant and ordered the food to be served.

Between the staggered discussions, Wang Wencai and He Hanwen chatted casually.

Wang Wencai: "What are Hanwen's plans in the future?"

He Hanwen: "Take a day off and start immediately." ”

Wang Wencai: "Why are you so anxious?"

He Hanwen: "Brother Non-Hanwen Frame, when I go to Zhuo County, there will be people with bad intentions along the way, and those with suspicious deeds will secretly follow." Hanwen is afraid that things will change, so it is better to go to Zhuojun as soon as possible, settle down, and work up and down, listen to the scriptures and practice martial arts, leave a useful body, and wait for the world to change, so as to see the after-effects. ”

When Wang Wencai heard this, he became interested and asked, "Oh?

He Hanwen pretended to be displeased and said, "Senior brother, why do you want to ask knowingly. After that, he put a large cabbage into his mouth with chopsticks, smashed it twice, and made an unpalatable expression, but it was not easy to spit it out, so he had to swallow it.

Wang Wencai: "Hanwen doesn't like kohlrabi?"

He Hanwen: "I really don't like it, but if it withers today, if you don't eat it at this time, I'm afraid you won't even be able to eat kohlrabi in the future." ”

Wang Wencai: "Hanwen is overly worried, kohlrabi is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he can still afford to eat it." ”

He Hanwen: "Senior brother's words are wrong! My Han Dynasty has been inherited here, isn't it clear that Senior Brother Jie is still unclear? Don't say anything else, but how did you get this county Cheng as an adult, the key to this, Hanwen won't say it! Of course, Hanwen would like to have more good officials like Senior Brother. However, most of those guys are liver-brained people, what has become of the world?"

Wang Wencai: "That's why it is necessary for a young hero like Hanwen to come forward and correct the atmosphere of officialdom!"

He Hanwen: "Hanwen is afraid that this Han Dynasty is like a rotten wood full of holes, with gold and gold on the outside, and it is irretrievable!"

Wang Wencai: "Hanwen eats Hanlu, why do you say this?" Wang Wencai was a little angry.

When He Hanwen saw Wang Wencai's expression, he immediately appeased him, and said carefully: "Senior brother, don't blame! This is not Hanwen's disobedience, Hanwen asked Senior Brother, when the Son of Heaven is in the eyes of Senior Brother, he is a male master?"

Wang Wencai did not answer positively when he heard this, but said hesitantly: "How can you talk about being the son of heaven... ”

He Hanwen said with a smile: "Senior brother, Hanwen often listens to Li Shen talk about it, and the chief of the dust road admonishes us to follow our hearts, if the senior brother thinks that the son of heaven is the hero, I am afraid that the words of praise have already overflowed into words, don't use Hanwen to say more, why bother to support me? Here are only you and me, the words come out of Hanwen's mouth, and enter the ears of the senior brother county." God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. If the senior brother is willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship, why hide it?"

Wang Wencai: "Okay, Hanwen, when the son of heaven is not the master, but the main master of the East Palace is also in his prime, and the future can be expected!"

He Hanwen: "Senior brother, don't deceive yourself, you should ask the people in the world, those people who are struggling to survive, do you have this kind of expectation? ”

He Hanwen wanted to speak and stopped, picked up a piece of chicken ribs casually, and then put it down again, pretending to sigh: "Chicken ribs!

Wang Wencai: "What about chicken ribs?"

He Hanwen: "The food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, alas... ”

Wang Wencai: "There are different ways of cooking, although they are limited by the ingredients, but they are not without delicacies. ”

He Hanwen: "The big problem of the dynasty seems to be the dictatorship of the eunuchs, but in fact it is grasped by the noble class. There is no promotion channel for talented people among the common people, so the country will have problems. ”

Wang Wencai: "In Hanwen's opinion, what should I do?"

He Hanwen: "The rights of the scholars must be restricted, first by force to remove the eunuchs, and then by the rule of law, from the top down, the order is prohibited. At the same time, it is possible to give talented people among the commoners the possibility of promotion, just like the story of the Empress Dowager Qin Shiqi!"

Wang Wencai: "This matter is too much to do! How can the scholars be willing to give up?"

He Hanwen: "That's exactly the case, so we should Xu Tuzhi, first legislate, and then slowly cut off the rights of the scholars." Only by appointing people on the basis of merit can we protect the foundation of our Han Dynasty. . . ”

The next day, He Hanwen instructed Lang Chao'er to prepare the carriage and horses, and then resigned to Wang Wencai.

Wang Wencai: "These refugees Hanwen want to take away?"

He Hanwen: "It's not all, Hanwen also has selfishness in it. Rather than let them suffer, save some if you can. At least someone in there can come in handy. Senior brother, don't be impatient, see how I act!"

After He Hanwen finished speaking, he asked Xiaozhu to gather those refugees, and then he stood on a high platform and shouted below: "Everyone, I am the son of He Fu, and now I have to write people, family members, and handmaidens all the way to Zhuo County." I can't bear to starve and suffer, but I'm not a virtuous man. Therefore, I only select those whom I think are useful to fill the house. There is no such thing as a free meal, so I have to choose. If you are interested, you can come forward and report the information. If this son is interested, he will be admitted to the house, now line up and come forward one by one! Xiaozhu, register, let them come over one by one!"
