On May 13th, Jinyang Taoism entered the fourth day.
Because Shao Xun did not attend for two consecutive days, the scholars were not very energetic.
What's the use of arguing more? Unless everyone unites and rebels together, it is possible to kill the Shao thief.
I feel helpless and distraught.
If the Qingxu scholars want to rebel, the Langya Wang family will first disagree, which can affect the attitudes of many people at once. In addition, the Xuzhou fellows' development in the officialdom is really good, which will reduce a large number of people.
In the end, the "die-hards" became desperate and gave up.
Scholars in Youzhou and Jizhou rebelled?
Not possible for the time being.
During the three-year flood, King Liang spared no effort and dispatched countless grains and grass from Henan to provide relief. His prestige in Hebei was not low, and the scholars in Jizhou could not rebel due to emotion or reason. Even though some people wanted to rebel, there were still others.
Many people don't want to rebel, so they can't form a joint force and it's easy to suppress them.
Youzhou was facing a serious threat from Xianbei. After weighing the pros and cons, there was no reason to rebel against the King of Liang.
Bingzhou? The power of the scholars has been extremely weakened.
The real thing to watch is the three states of Si, Yan, and Henan. If the scholars in these three places cannot rebel, then there will really be no one to resist.
At present, it seems that the Yu family and the Pei family are busy putting out the fire, and the Yang family does not support the rebellion. In the end, it may be that some stupid young people will jump out and be used as spearmen to test Shao Xun's attitude.
The story of Liu Xiu’s journey to the fields.
Frustrated and disappointed, many scholars simply left the venue and played around Jinci Temple and Fen River.
Liu Ling, the deputy governor of the Huangtou Army, and other warriors were also wandering around the Jin Temple. When they saw a group of scholars coming in, they immediately pointed to a pond in the courtyard and said loudly: "There are many turtles in the Jin Temple, so they shrink their heads."
Some others laughed, but most didn't.
Liu Ling was unhappy.
Why do so many people have a deep-seated awe and admiration for the nobles?
Is Wang Jun's family high? He didn't even dare to commit suicide. His face was full of fear when he was killed by me.
Bian Tao heard it from a distance and snorted coldly.
Hua Jun tugged at his sleeves, and Bian Tao woke up and stopped making fun of himself. A group of people went to the other side to fish.
Hua Jun was a few steps behind. After everyone left, he came to Liu Ling, bowed and said, "General Liu, are you okay?"
Liu Ling crossed her arms, glanced at him, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Pingyuan Huajun. In the past, he took villagers to transport grain and grass, and he met the general once." Huajun said with a smile.
"Hua Jingze's son?" Liu Ling thought for a while and asked.
"The general has a good memory!" Hua Jun praised: "I heard that the general was born in the Liu family of Yangping, and the two counties of Yangping and Pingyuan are connected, so I should move around more."
"Pingyuan Hua family, such a high family background!" Liu Ling said in an exaggerated tone: "Is there a family like the Yangping Liu family?"
"Of course there is." The smile on Hua Jun's face remained unchanged and he said: "The Yangping Liu family is a descendant of the Pingyuan Liu family, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and a descendant of the noble family."
"Oh..." Liu Ling suddenly realized, and then asked: "Then why was I so poor when I was young?"
"Being poor for a while is just a matter of tempering one's will. The talent of a general is like a thorn in a bag, and sooner or later he will rise to great heights." Hua Jun said, "Now the result has come true——"
"I am a demon thief." Liu Ling interrupted him and said, "I became a demon thief before I rose through the ranks."
"The general is really good at telling jokes." Hua Jun laughed and said, "It was obviously only after meeting Queen Liang that he showed his great ambitions."
"You are right." Liu Ling nodded and said: "The King of Liang captured me, and I will obey him. Who are the others?"
The smile on Hua Jun's face gradually became unsustainable.
He smiled to himself and said: "I have something to do today. I'll have a drink with the general another day."
"Is something wrong? Are you catching turtles?" Liu Ling pointed at Bian Tao and others beside the pond and asked, not knowing whether it was intentional or accidental.
"There are many fish (cǐ, Yellow River saury) in the ponds far and near. The food is not fishy and tastes very delicious. If the general likes it, he will send a few over in a while." Hua Jun tentatively said.
"No need." Liu Ling waved her hand and left.
Everyone who was hanging out with him also left.
The smile on Hua Jun's face gradually disappeared. After gathering his mood, he came to the edge of the pond.
"I've advised you not to pay attention to them, is it helpful?" Bian Tao said, looking at the fish jumping in the barrel.
"You don't understand." Hua Jun shook his head: "Liu Ling is not a Taoist, but others may not be."
"Your family plans to marry a warrior?" Bian Tao asked again.
"yes."
"Legal daughter? Concubine?"
"A concubine who is a widow at home."
Bian Tao chuckled and said, "It can't be...her?"
"That's her." Hua Jun sighed and said, "I have become more settled in the past two years, maybe I can get married."
"Even if such a woman is content for a while, she will still find random men to play with in the future. It would be ugly if she gets married and is divorced," Bian Tao said.
Hua Jun smiled and said: "If you marry a scholar, maybe it will be like this. But a bunch of new warriors, will you be willing to give it up? The noble girl in front of you knelt down with your fingers crossed. So what if you are restless?
It's nothing more than a trivial matter. If the legitimate daughter is well-educated and has a dignified temperament, how can she get his turn? The King of Liang is about the same."
"Oh, don't tell me, my father also has this idea." Bian Tao looked helpless: "He and Wen Taizhen were in Wang Taiwei's tent together. Yesterday, he asked Tai Zhen about this matter, and Taizhen said yes. I
I don’t quite agree.”
Wen Qiao and Bian Dun were both Wang Yan's military counselors and had a good relationship. Bian Dun wanted to marry a warrior, and he was a relatively rare nobleman who broke through the tradition of "status endogamy".
Moreover, the Bian family had a higher family status, so marrying a daughter off to a low-level nobleman would be regarded as a low-marriage, and she would be gossiped about, let alone a warrior with no family background.
The change of ideological concepts cannot be completed overnight, especially for a noble family like the Jiyin Bian family who has not encountered any crisis. "It will always be useful." Hua Jun said: "Don't worry."
"It's not very useful." Bian Tao shook his head and said: "People are not divided into civil and military people, but they have official positions. Besides, do you really think these military men dare to rebel against the King of Liang? If they really make a fuss, killing their wives can only prove it with one sentence. No matter how hard they are, they can't bear it.
It’s about to be done.”
"With the current situation, it would be great to be able to do this." Hua Jun said, "Unfortunately, there are only a few people who are willing to marry. They don't understand the general trend, alas."
"What's the general trend?" Bian Tao asked subconsciously.
"In the discussion of Taoism in Jinyang, it is an unprecedented move for warriors to gather together and argue with scholars. It itself points to the general trend. Twenty years ago, there would have been no such opportunity."
Bian Tao understood this.
"What do you think about what King Liang said about going south to build a manor?" Hua Jun asked again.
"My father once served in the Shan Jilun (Mountain Slips) shogunate and stationed troops in Xiakou. There are more people there. If we can capture Jingzhou in the future, we will go to Xiakou to find land to build a manor." Bian Tao said: "Anyway, I
If you don’t go to Xiakou, just stay in Jiyin. Whoever wants to go can go, I won’t take it away.”
Hua Jun laughed and said, "Maybe my family will send someone to Jiangzhou."
After saying this, the two fell silent.
As Fang Caijun said, the fact that warriors can stand in front of scholars and debate openly is a great success in itself and a reflection of their strength and status. And now they are talking about where to build the manor in the south, which also explains a lot of problems.
.
"Let's go catch catfish." Someone shouted not far away.
"Let's go." Hua Jun took Bian Tao's hand and said, "Let's go somewhere else tomorrow."
****
Outside Jinci Longxiang Mansion, a group of knights had just dismounted.
They talked and laughed loudly, pointing at the men and women on the carriage not far away, and occasionally burst into laughter.
There were many carriages, probably more than five hundred. The old and weak, women and children sat on the carriages, and the strong men staggered on foot. The total number exceeded seven thousand.
"This battle is a comfortable one. Take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared."
"I'm afraid Suotou will become angry."
"So what? Let them go find Shi Yijian, what does it have to do with me?"
"Haha! I will do the good things, and the bad things will be carried by Yijian. How wonderful."
"It's a pity that soldiers who capture unborn soldiers are not allowed to become honorary officers."
"What are you afraid of? It's a matter of time! Let's kill more than 2,000 people and arrest 7,000 people in one go. Which scholar has ever done that?"
The officers and soldiers of the Shengsheng Army were noisy and high-spirited. While they were talking, Hua Jun, Bian Tao and others passed by them and glanced at them from a distance.
Some people were subconsciously short of breath and did not dare to make eye contact with them, but they quickly cursed themselves for not living up to expectations, raised their heads again, and stared back with fierce eyes.
Bian Tao was startled, then realized that he had lost his composure, muttered something and left.
Hua Jun's expression remained unchanged and he walked calmly.
Perhaps this is the reason why King Liang decided to discuss Taoism in Jinyang.
Through public means, in front of the scholars all over the world, they announced the rise of the martial arts group and forced the scholars to recognize their status.
Three or four days have passed, and the news has begun to spread around. The martial artist's status has been improved, and his morale seems to have increased a little.
This is complementary to each other.
At this point, Jinyang’s discussion of Taoism can actually come to an end.
When Hua Jun and others returned, the meeting had ended. He grabbed one person and asked, "What was discussed today?"
"Concerning the matter of selecting officials," the person said, "Fortunately, we were all united and thought it was impossible, so we finally suppressed it. You didn't see Kim Jong's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot."
"Not bad." Hua Jun smiled.
"Idiot!" Bian Tao paused for a moment, and after hearing clearly, he shook up his clothes and walked away.
The person who just spoke glanced at Bian Tao playfully and was too lazy to say anything.
Are you the only sane person in this world? Are we all fools?
Some plays must be performed when they should be performed, and when the performance is over, it is time to leave.
"Is there nothing left to do?" Hua Jun continued to ask.
"There is only one thing." This person said: "There is a flattering person talking about 'advancing with the times', and someone came to the stage to argue and argued for a long time."
"Who?"
"Taichang Qing Cui Yu and Dongping Chushi Lu Qiuguang."
"You really have a leisurely mind." Hua Jun said with a smile.
"Actually, there is one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Someone is discussing the matter of King Langya."
"So urgent?" Hua Jun said in surprise.
Before, you looked like you were desperate and unwilling to fight, but now you are willing? The world is changing too fast.
"Hearing that Wang Dun is seriously ill, the descendants of the Fan family in Shunyang requested to send troops south to attack Jingzhou."
Hua Jun: "..."
This kind of thing was discussed with great fanfare, and it seemed that more and more people had no choice but to accept Prince Liang's proposal, just like him and Bian Tao.
The overall situation is settled, and this meeting can be ended.
Chapter completed!
