Chapter 506 Xu Fengnian killed Youzhou, and Yan Wenluan was convinced.
The gentle woman who slept with her back to him and remained motionless all night until she heard her husband’s snoring and then slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were still gentle. Just like the moment when she got off the sedan chair, she was lifted up by him.
Early the next morning, Zhang Bianguan had breakfast heartlessly and walked out of the house.
After Zhang Bianguan left, he walked on the street with a squinting eyes, looking to the northwest, and whispered: “Gaoxia, you must go to Beiliang. Only there will be chaos for a while, not for a lifetime.”
Today, the youngest son of the Prime Minister is still the most mocking family in Tai’an City and even the world.
But what about that woman?
The woman was quietly doing one trivial housework after another. When she had nothing to do, she sat obliquely on the threshold of the inner courtyard, looking at the gate, and waiting for him to go home.
If the Lingzhou officialdom last year was still the disturbance of His Highness, the crown prince who also served as the general of Lingzhou, was just under the surging of undercurrents, and ultimately a farce with less thunder and less rain, then under the bloody iron fist of the New Liang King, Youzhou military and political affairs were completely a tragedy that caused everyone to be in danger.
Spring rain is as precious as oil, and the rain at the tail of the spring in northern cold water is even more so. Once the rain falls and the blood rushes, it also saves a lot of trouble for the yamen of all over the country in Youzhou. You should know that this unprecedented incident in Beiliang. Three of the lieutenants died alone, and the real-powered lieutenants could not count them with one hand. There were no less than a hundred high-ranking officials who were stripped of their official skins to serve as military borders. Although the so-called eight hundred generals in Youzhou must be an exaggerated number, there must be three hundred households, and most of them were affected. The families involved in the tragedy were unable to fight back. The rest of the people who were patiently waiting for General Yan Wenluan to be angry were even more heartbroken. The general not only stood by and watched so “easy to talk”, but also personally mobilized the elite infantrymen of the Yan family in the Sixth Battalion to control several passes in the northern part of Youzhou. This was not only a matter of turning against each other, but also stabbed himself in the body. The heavy snow dragon cavalry infiltrated the hinterland of Youzhou. On the east side of Liangzhou, there was the adopted son of the old Liang king, Qi Dangguo, who personally took action. In the north of Lingzhou, there were two cavalrymen with different sequences of Northern Liang, Wang Zhi and Xin Yinma, who belonged to the Northern Liang Dynasty, prepared their troops. Gu Dazu, the “newcomer” of the Northern Liang Dynasty, and Liu Yuanji and Wei Tieshan, who were abdicated, even if they were intimately involved with Youzhou, they still chose to openly support the New Liang King at the same time without hesitation. At this time, even though the heroic general of Youzhou did not understand why the new Liang king was so kind in Lingzhou, why did he feel so unhappy when he arrived in Youzhou, he understood one thing with great pain: the surname of Northern Liang was Xu. In Beiliang, no old man, who has the ability and qualifications to compete with the young vassal king, is willing to say justice to them.
Anyway, it’s too late.
Go old, newPeople come. And as soon as they arrived, several groups of people came. Some were called by Xu Fengnian, while others came uninvited, and the latter was not very polite. Huang Shang, who vaguely became the leader of the scholar on the northern veranda table, almost jumped to scold people, while Mr. Wang Da from the Shangyin Academy was leisurely and persuaded Huang Shang to make trouble with his anger. Both elegant old men had just enjoyed the scenery of the desert from the border, and rushed to Youzhou Yi River. However, the closer it is to the Yi River, the more old Mr. Wang is. Logically speaking, Huang Shang, a literati who should be most happy to see this scene, became the most fierce guy who scolded the King of Beiliang. He scolded Xu Fengnian for being too resentful and scolded him as a real person. He was even more ruthless than Xu Xiao, saying that he had the ability to go to Beimang to kill people, and what was the ability to kill his own people? Xu Fengnian was not smiling, annoyed, or uttered, but was just taking over the government and dealing with military and political affairs in the residence of the Youzhou General. He was completely indifferent to Huang Shang’s scolding and did not even raise his eyes.
After Wang Dajiu and Huang Shang, there was another new Liuzhou governor Yang Guangdou who rushed from the refugee land. This Mohist master did not look like he was angry at all. He just said a few words, “It’s almost enough”, “Chen Liangxi did a pretty good job.” After that, he came and went in a hurry, and didn’t even have time to drink a sip of hot tea and eat a bite of hot rice. Apart from these white-haired old men, the rest are at least the younger generation. The governor of Liangzhou, Hu Kui, is the real creator of the former White Horse Scout, Liejuqi. He is also surrounded by Yu Luandao, who once wrote “The Song of the Horse in Liangzhou”. The eldest grandson of the Yu clan of Yinyang, this guy went to the refugee land alone and took a big circle. He seemed to have not been killed or killed. There is also Song Yan, who had just become a leader in Lingzhou, and Wang Xihua, the head of the Wang family of Huangnan County, Lingzhou. These two were once opponents with different internal affairs in a county, and they were not considered mortal enemies. Wang Xihua, who is famous for his first-hand moral articles, and Li Gongde, the master who is dedicated to his work and merits, is considered a real mortal enemy.
After these people gathered in the residence of the Youzhou General, the next morning, the storm was as dark as the wind and rain, Xu Fengnian called them to go to the newly built Qinglu Cave Academy together. Huangfu Ping, who had not had the chance to show his face recently, was responsible for bringing a hundred relatives to protect him. His face was as deep as water, and there was no trace of sadness and joy. Le Dian, the stigmatized Youzhou deputy general Le Dian, was even more worried when he was killed in just one ten years. Only the governor Wang Peifang, the head of Youzhou civil servant, had his tail hanging behind the team and sat high on the horse’s back. He was not as strong and thin as a warrior, waving with the horse’s back, unable to hide the joy on his face. Good and bad luck depend on each other, especially from misfortune to blessings. No matter how calm he is, how can he not feel happy?
There is a great chaos in Youzhou, but the academy on the foot of Qinglu Mountain can be called the only pure land left in Youzhou. Nearly a hundred scholars and scholars have entered this place to study with peace of mind. When they bow their heads, they bury their books, and when they gather, they learn with their heads. The only shortcomings are probably the two gentlemen who temporarily lead the academy leaders. The King of Xinliang asked them to take out a monthly article about success and instant benefits, with many words.The better, such as how salt and iron in Beiliang should be, how to deal with the constraints of the imperial court’s grain transportation, how to eradicate the shackles of the party, how to solve the disaster of clerks, how to define the right and right of the name, the right of the minister, and even how to check and balance the right of the minister, etc. Many questions are undoubtedly the forbidden area for scholars, but there are still scholars who can’t resist the huge temptation of winning the title of the month, which can get between 100 taels of silver. There is an old saying that there is a golden house in the book, which has a thousand bells of millet and a face like jade. Not to mention the golden house, do not both require real gold and silver? The wise men just said the words a little implicitly, and the truth in it is nothing more than that. Although Qinglu Cave Academy is just a rough man, and the most important energy of a college is even more empty, Huang Shang was in a good mood after climbing the mountain, and he didn’t care about his expression on the King of Beiliang. He smiled and felt relieved. Although the court could not help but talk about famous scholars, Beiliang even ignored the rebellious words, and even in turn encouraged his arrogance. In the view of the old censor Huang Shang, this is the real soil for the seeds of reading. If you have something to think about, you can speak and put it into writing, so as to keep your books in history and allow future generations to comment. This is the real blessing for scholars all over the world.
Huang Shang stood at the gate of the academy without rushing to cross the threshold. He looked up at the plaque written by the King of Beiliang Xu Fengnian. He stopped and burst into tears. His lips trembled. He asked, “I can really tolerate our scholars one day like Huang Shang yesterday, scolding you Xu Fengnian and scolding Beiliang.”
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, “It’s okay to curse people. As long as you scholars can be safe, it’s enough. If you can still think about helping the world sincerely, it’s better. If one day, any warrior in Beiliang dares to kill you with a knife, as long as the reason is in your heart and not in their hands, I will protect you.”
Huang Shang said a few words of “good” one after another, with his big sleeves floating, and walked into Qinglu Cave Academy with Wang Dajiu. After walking a distance, he suddenly found that the young Xu family did not keep up, but stood there. Huang Shang turned his head, looking puzzled.
Xu Fengnian said: “From now on, as long as the warriors in Beiliang are wearing armor and swords, they will not be allowed to enter the academy. You scholars, don’t worry about studying. I don’t expect that the literati and military people in Beiliang will be able to be respectful and harmonious with each other tomorrow, but at the worst, they will have to do their own duties. But the ugly words are ahead, scholars seek fame and reputation, and use this to gain fame and reputation. I, Xu Fengnian, can turn a blind eye, but if you dare to disturb the people with your three-inch tongue and pen in your hand, you will definitely lose several layers of skin. Don’t say that you Huang Shang scold me for breaking your promise. Even if you fight with me, I will turn aside and turn aside, and if you kill you Huang Shang, you will not be ruthless.”
Huang Shang wanted to speak but stopped.
Wang Jijiu, who had boarded the Beiliang pirate ship early, chuckled softly beside Huang Shang, “Old Man Huang, how could you get so much pedantic and sour spirit? You might as well. Scholars are not afraid of being poor, but when a literati is so sad, the things you write are less valuable than sauerkraut.”
