"Hey...... The Chengnan Academy is all selecting the Red Soul of the Han Dynasty, and we teachers still think that we are going to send it for training...... "A teacher seconded.

There was a young horse owner who frowned: "It's strange to say, my old man is about to go at the age of ninety-seven, let the magician test it, but the old ginseng hangs his life and is transferred to the county hospital for maintenance, and the old man wakes up and says that he doesn't have two months to live, and it is too laborious for the country......"

"Lingzu Gaoshou, who is the eunuch?" everyone looked at him sideways, thinking that they had met the low-key second and third generations.

The young horse owner waved his hand: "The old man is my great-ancestor, not an official, or an ordinary veteran of Emperor Xiande, who followed the general Cao Wu to the westernmost grassland, and destroyed the Northern Wei State established by the remnants of the Xiongnu. ”

"Ah, it turned out to be a martyr in the west...... Disrespectful, disrespectful! It should be well raised, and the old man himself cannot listen to his stubbornness...... "Everyone said this, admiring the heroic spirit of the old man, and thinking that few of the heroes of the generation have survived so far, but those who survive must be the red soul of the Han Dynasty.

Listening to this kind of gossip, the Tai Academy students on one side discussed, and the habitual topic was extended to the national fortune, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes smiled: "Since the change of life of His Majesty Wu, the precarious expansion of the Han Empire has once again stabilized and risen, crossing the sea and deep ocean to the east, crossing the miasma forest to the south, crossing the Qingqiang Plateau to the west, and crossing the icy grassland to the north, and it has occupied the entire world a hundred years ago. ”

"There may be more continents, but not now. ”

"The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Gu Fengzhishi, Beishan" Zeng Yun: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; ”

"It's only today that it's really realized. ”

"It's just that the poetry is cloudy: the doctors are uneven, and I am engaged in the sole sage. Four peony Peng Peng, the king is in the evening, I am not old, I am fresh, and I am strong, and I am just in the right direction, and I am in charge of the Quartet!"

Different from the out-of-context explanations, the Zhou people complained that they were the same kings, but they worked unevenly and had a particularly heavy job...... Today, although the lower world is big, although the prosperity of life and industry is everywhere, there are limits. ”

"How can there be any difference between ancient and modern things? Thousands of miles to find the marquis, this is the dream of my Han Dynasty, a few generations later, such a lack of suffering and unevenness has been repeated, and it is also a loss to leave a foundation that can be digested, otherwise, sooner or later, it will fall into fatigue again. ”

The student said Kan Kan, at this time there was a convoy full of rubber passing by, looking at the first carriage, the sign is the Jinling clan, a young man was surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect to hear such a clear argument in this overseas hanging place, and couldn't help but look at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "Dare to ask the name of the king, where to study?"

The young man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he saw that the scholar at the window was dressed in a moon-white robe, only his face was exposed, and he looked forward to the brilliance, chic and elegant, which made people forget the vulgar at first sight.

"Don't have your surname Zeng, your name is Muzhi, the Jiaozhi County Branch of the Taixue Taoist Academy, and Brother Tai is?" Zeng Muzhi said, the mainland businessmen didn't need to care, but they thought that they were about to return to the mainland, or they could take a ride.

"Jinling Daoyuan, Qiao half makeup. The young man smiled slightly, I don't know if it was an illusion, there was a kind of fragrance.

The students were shocked by this moment's beauty, and they were all in an uproar when they heard the words, because there are many academies in Jinling, and there is only one Taoist academy that teaches practice......

It is the women's courtyard established at the request of Emperor Wu, Cai Wenji, Sun Shangxiang and Xiao Qiao, and the surname Sun is a big family, so is it the maiden descendant of Mrs. Erqiao?

"Women?"

Zeng Muzhi found that the other party's appearance was too handsome for a man, his eyes subconsciously slipped on the other party's chest, and he saw a slight bulge of curves under the men's clothes, and immediately understood that it was a beautiful woman dressed as a man, so he blushed and looked away, and coughed lightly: "It turned out to be red makeup...... Senior sister, your essay on the formation and exploration of the archipelago in the East Ocean has embarrassed us, how did you come to the South Seas after not hearing from you for a few years?"

"Hey, have you read my papers? I have read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, I have led a caravan around the southern coastline to explore mapping, I want to prove that the world is a sphere, but unfortunately this year's storm has stopped me...... Just came back last month, men's clothing is a small overseas country women have a low status, in order to facilitate communication. ”

Qiao Banxiang stood on the side of the road and said a few words to him, and when he heard that he wanted to go to the hitchhiker mainland, he generously invited: "The front is my family's fleet, please get on board!"

This caused a burst of envy from the students, and they saw that although this girl had not yet reached the real person, she had deep luck and pure eyes, and she should be a hero.

Zeng Muzhi was a little puzzled, and didn't cherish the opportunity to be alone, so when he got on the boat, he asked with a straight face: "How about Senior Sister exploring the islands on the west side of the South Sea?"

"They are all small states, and they like money and goods rather than culture...... I wonder if they have a strange origin, but they have been reported to the Governor of Nanyang, and they will be able to conquer and naturalize them in the coming year, hoping to increase the number of this dynasty. ”

Qiao Banxiang sighed, his eyebrows were a little worried: "The world has been peaceful for a hundred years, and I haven't moved the sword soldiers for a long time, I'm afraid that the people will forget the ambition of the marquis...... And once the first batch of left-behind real people in the Kai Dynasty pass away a few years later, it will be a feast for the powerful to divide up, which is not good for the clan morale. ”

The beautiful woman stated her peculiar interests in front of her, Zeng Mu's heart was moved, and she really looked carefully and found her beauty, and immediately stimulated her enthusiasm, and said: "What the senior sister said is very true, the country in the center of China in ancient times, people admired Chinese customs, is it only clothes and words?"

"The upper grade has found the ambition of the marquis, and the lower grade has also been educated by the field, once this matter shrinks, seek stability and reduce the steps of the body...... There must be no step to the body, how can a barbarian state that does not know the righteousness not have the reason not to be centrifuged?"

"External troubles are born, and the militaristic consumption is increasing, and internal troubles are bound to be born, and it is rare to see 800 years of luck since Zhou...... The three dynasties of the Han Dynasty have been endless, following the former Han Dynasty Black Red Virtue Movement, the Later Han Dynasty Red Yellow Virtue Movement, and the New Han Dynasty Huang Qing Virtue Luck for 700 years, and the national fortune is strong and undecrepit, relying on this Han style. ”

Qiao listened intently, and she agreed: "It's a pity, you and I are both readers, we know the truth, the aura of the world is gradually insufficient, and the national fortune is yellow and contains a cyan phantom, but it is difficult to really break through." ”

"There are no more true immortals, is it really like the propaganda of the disciples of the Three Saints Sect, heaven and earth only allow the five immortal saints - Taishang, Primordial, Tongtian, and Wahuang are the four innate beings, Ying Wu Xià obtains the last day after tomorrow, and no mortal will want to ascend to the throne again in the future?"

"The words of the disciples of the Three Holy Sects are also credible?" Zeng Muzhi disdained: "Seeing that they put Emperor Wa at the back, you will know his heart!"

In response to the propaganda since the opening of the Wu Dynasty, now that the clansmen know that the former emperor of Wa Huang signed a contract with her own clan, and she is a model for female cultivators, Qiao Banxiang felt that Zeng Muzhi said it well, and nodded: "I don't believe it either, but the system is so mysterious, and it can't be broken through, what's the problem?"

"Maybe ......"

"Anchoring...... Sail - "

As the captain shouted, the huge ship moved slowly, sailed with propellers, and sailed north in a crisp autumn sunshine.

...... This voyage was two months, and during the long time, the two communicated, and although they did not understand the limitations, they found that they had similar knowledge and interests, and the relationship became close.

When they got off the boat in Jinling, the young men and women were a little reluctant, but because the school was different and they had to go back to submit their papers, they could only say goodbye.

"To Luoyang...... Don't forget to write me a newsletter. Joe looked into his eyes and said expectantly.

The Han Dynasty attaches great importance to transportation and communication, the original post through the system upgraded to the information disk network, the cost of communication is not expensive, the fashion of pen pals is popular, when the sending are as concise as possible, but the ancient Chinese is good at information compression, the Han people's subtle character is also related to this language information compression habits, a short poem with affection can be passed on to the wild goose.

"Good!"

Zeng Muyi agreed, rented an ox cart on the dock and left, suddenly recalling the gossip he heard on the boat, Qiao Banxiang's trip back to Jinling was not only a matter of submitting a thesis, but also that she would fulfill the marriage contract between the family and the Jinling royal family after graduation...... In other words, the next time you see the other person, you will already be someone else's wife.

A heartache dimmed the young man's happy expression, he knew that although he was a promising student, it was impossible for him to be recognized by the other party's family from a poor family, and he could not ask the woman to elope with him...... That is cut off for the woman, and the prospect is too risky.

"You must become a real person, otherwise there is no power to affect her fate. The young man squeezed his hands, his brow furrowed deeply.

Looking at the man driving the ox cart away, Qiao stood in place without moving, and after a long time, an old man walked behind her and reminded him respectfully: "The girl's wedding is imminent, and the Qiao family and the Wang family will not be happy to see extraneous branches." ”

"I know...... Elder Zhang, you see, this is the solidified family......" Qiao lowered his head half-makeup, his long black and smooth hair hung down behind his back, and his face was calm: "It's really not good, I went to Luoyang to take refuge in Aunt Zu, who can take me?"

"But you are a loving woman who will not abandon your parents. Zhang Lao knew that she would not be like this, and sighed a little: "And the three-hundred-year life limit is approaching, and all parties are restless...... The undercurrent is turbulent, our Qiao family is not aligned, how can we resist the alliance of other families?"

"Now the trade competition is very fierce, the young master of the Sun family has failed in his exploration in the Western Ocean, and your exploration in the Southeast and Southeast Oceans has also failed...... Without discovering the New World, we have no choice. ”

"But Your Majesty will be disappointed......" Qiao Banxiang frowned and thought for a long time, his voice trembled slightly, and he sighed.

"Not necessarily, the 200 county system in the world can't affect the central power, the pavilion chief has not fallen, the local tyrants can't go out of the county, the Huangzhuang of the vertical system is still there, the control of the business circles in various places is still there, the assimilation system of the frontier country is still operating, the Taoist system is still there, and His Majesty may still be happy to see the restoration of power......"

Qiao Banxiang was noncommittal to the old man's judgment, and shook his head: "I mean the heavenly majesty Xià ......"

Zhang Lao was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and then said: "The affairs of the heavens and the heavens are only circulated among the top powerful families, and there are even letters from the ancestors...... But no one lives to see the heavens, and no one lives to see His Majesty. ”

"Lao Er knows that the girl was raised by her grandmother since she was a child, she is the niece of Mrs. Er Qiao, and there are many founding real people, their generation has been greatly influenced by that Majesty, and they all believe in the covenant of heaven and heaven, and the people of the heroic spirit will ascend to heaven when they are elected......"

"But to tell the truth, the nobles themselves don't believe it anymore, everyone believes that it is just a joke made by the founding monarch to everyone, a sword hanging over his head. ”
