Shilang Zhan believed that not only him, but also the Grand Tutor was like this in the eyes of many people.
The Taifu's current reputation and his position as a leader in the hearts of scholars in the world are not only due to his undoubted ability and knowledge, but also have a lot to do with the way he behaves for ten years.
Taifu Chu was a man who could keep his true nature very well. He had been in a state of antagonism against heaven and earth since he first entered the officialdom when he was young. His ambition to antagonize people was not excessive due to his status or age.
Millimeter transfer.
He disdains the idea of making friends with powerful people, let alone forming parties to gain power. Therefore, when he first became a Beijing official, he suffered a lot of exclusion and suppression.
But the Taifu is very strong-headed. Although he likes to go crazy, he is also supported by his extraordinary ability and wisdom.
There are many stories of Taifu being ostracized when he was young, and they are still circulated among literati today. There are countless such stories, such as being slandered by his colleagues and thrown into jail, only to walk out of the cell in less than ten days.
, vacating the position to the person who makes the move.
There were many seemingly innocuous exclusions, and there was a treacherous minister who was also very unpleasant to look at. One morning after court, when two censors passed by, he deliberately whispered to them, which was not the same as the Taifu at that time.
The Taifu said: [I wonder if the matter I entrusted Master Chu to do last time will have any results? 】
This move is intended to serve as eye candy, create vague rumors, and draw people into trouble.
If the other party hurriedly denies it, this is playing into his own agenda.
The very young Tutor did not deny it. Instead, he looked astonished and said in a low and authentic voice: "What are you talking about..."
That's right, Mianmian is just a big lamb. After all, he works outside the Imperial College Hospital and doesn't get paid every month...
Although Miao Yan is the eldest member of the Saint's family, the Saint would naturally be worried when using it, but when it comes to the safety of the country, the Saint should be so reversing his priorities, right?
The time it took to reach Dongluo was nearly twice as long as expected.
The ice floes on the sea surface and the ice reefs above are both a test for the ship. The journey is fast and safe at the same time.
There was no thought in Shilang Zhan's eyes.
Although victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers, it is common for generals to lead troops and achieve success in half a year, but Dongting and Bian Jun were lost at the hands of Yuezhou, and Jingzhou is so important, how can they come and still give them all to them?
Where is the hand of Yuezhou?
Before deciding on this matter, Minister Zhan asked people to inform the army that all the soldiers had been disappointed because they could not return to Jiangdu for the New Year.
Tamluo and Dongluo, on the way back to Jiangdu, Shilang Zhan's small army must pass through. Shilang Zhan's initial plan was to watch Jin Chengyuan's enthronement ceremony in Dongluo, and then set off to rush back to Jiangdu, so that he could just go back to the Governor's Mansion to celebrate the New Year.
.
Xiao Min had earlier left the capital and went to quell the chaos. What he was able to quell was a few chaos in the Gyeongju area, at least the troubles caused by the local gangsters and the weak who gathered the refugees. Now they have all been quelled, and Xiao Min has returned to the court.
down the road.
Now that the war is over, there is no need to take the risk of sailing in order to delay the journey after the new year. This is the consensus of the generals in the central army and Zhan Shilang.
On the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month, the news that Shilang Zhan was returning during the Lunar New Year reached the governor's office in Jiangdu.
So this official soon discovered that fewer and fewer people in the court were looking at my butt intentionally, and few people even secretly recommended doctors to me who were good at treating hemorrhoids. No matter how I tried to explain it, it was all in vain.
.
More than 700,000 taels is too little. If I just burn charcoal, how can I finish it?
Li Xian was one of the descendants of the Yun family to become an official, and his rhetoric was also very Miao Yan - which of them can be an official better than me? Since they are all capable, they should stay honest as soon as possible to avoid ruining my reputation.
[Shangguan is really helpless, and I hope Mr. Jia can forgive me.] After saying this, he sighed and left before saluting.
Wang Changshi took the letter to Chang Kuo. The reason why I came in person was because I had nothing to do and wanted to ask Chang Kuo for advice.
"After a short rest during the New Year, General Xiao should be on his way to Jingzhou at the beginning of next year." Xuance said.
"It's been half a year since Mr. Han left here, right?" Seeing that he was about to lose, the Taifu, who had resigned himself to his fate, found time to talk to me.
Li Xian thought of this and said, "You don't have much money left with this charcoal fire, so just take it outside the boy's hospital shed."
"Drinking and celebrating..." Yuezhou's attention was only focused on Qiao Yang's arrogance. My eyes darkened little by little, and then I turned to look at the man in blue who was kneeling beside me to serve him——
I would like to ask, how can such a general be disgusted by others?
The official's expression suddenly changed, and when he was about to interrupt, he listened to the other party's sincere suggestion: "Since Jia Xiaoren's illness has had little impact, it is time to hide the disease and avoid medical treatment. This is why I would like to ask your Majesty to publish a public notice to seek good doctors..."
…]
Hearing what the Taifu said, Chu Lixian showed a hint of satisfaction - it seems that this New Year's Eve... Bah, this charcoal fire money is just for me?
Thinking of the words "prestige in the military", what flashed behind Miao Yan's eyes was a manly face whose childishness had just faded away.
At this time, facing the general's teacher Qiao Jijiu, Xuance Jun was very stingy with words of praise.
The people in Bianjun City had not experienced several lootings and killings by Qiao Yang. The first time Qiao Yang killed were the noble officials in the city, and the seventh time he swung the butcher knife at the common people.
The Tutor was a little worried. That General Xiao had defeated Xu Zhengye together with Sui Ning. It was said that he was calm and cautious, and was a trustworthy figure.
Thinking of the harsh words of reprimand from the capital a few days later, and the situation where the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would definitely treat me with contempt and contempt...
As for Jiangdu, there is no army guarding it several times more than ours. Chu Xing and Vice General Jin have also turned back. Without us, Jiangdu can be guaranteed to be safe and sound.
A small number of us are also from Jiangdu. This war was a small victory. As the victorious army, we were treated very politely by Dongluo. It was a very novel thing to stay in a foreign land to celebrate the New Year.
Miao Yan said: "These two of yours haven't been released yet. Not to mention being filial to you, they have to be raised by you."
Although the descendants of the Chu family were officials, none of them had any accomplishments in the literary world. They were all pure and clean, so the Chu family became more and more contemptuous and praised by literati.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Taifu said: "So, I just hope that there will be no improvement in the coming year... The chaos in Huangshuiyang will be eliminated, and the capital will be in trouble.
"
"Yes." Xuance Jun sighed: "In that half a year, I lost Dongting first and then Bian Jun... Now I just hope that Jingzhou must be defended. It should be difficult after the new year. The Jingzhou area is now very hot with little rain and snow, and the water is yellow.
The small army dares to attack for the time being."
After hearing the word "medical shed", Xuance Jun asked a few questions curiously.
By July next year at the latest, I will definitely wipe out Qiao Yang in one fell swoop!
Without Dongluo, this change of ownership will require the help of Chang Jishishi, and the amount of tribute in the coming year will definitely be considerable...
War consumes the most money, but people like to be governors, and this time they fought against the Japanese army, but they achieved "fighting to support war"——
After discussing with Youjue and his generals, Minister Zhan finally decided to wait until the end of the year before rushing back to Jiangdu.
…
In the adversity of fighting for a long time, Yuezhou's occasional anger and joy were clearly visible in his eyebrows, and the unconcealed anger was revealed.
Although his tone was light, there was no hint of joy or pride.
At this moment, there was deathly silence in the small military camp, and the soldiers who were standing vigil in the snow looked numb and tense.
To avoid mentioning such a headache as the Kangding Mountain Rebellion, when we talk about Gongmiaoyan in South Korea, the headache will double again.
Even though there has been less rain and snow in recent days, we have not stopped training. Yuezhou wants to take advantage of the good weather after the new year and Qiao Yang's attack to step up the training of his soldiers.
As I get older, I get less sick. Every winter, I always worry about my teacher's health.
The surviving people are now in a different situation than the slaves. While we are working according to Qiao Yang's instructions, we also have to face the fear that Qiao Yang will swing his sword if he agrees.
Cui Jing must not have led his army to Youzhou yet, right?
Very slowly, the rumor that he was suffering from hemorrhoids spread like wildfire in the court.
After leaving Beijing, my aunt promised that as soon as I defeated Huang Shuiyang and gained a reputation in the army, Bian Chunliang would be handed over to me. But now...
But what bothered the teacher the most was that no one was sighing pretentiously in front of me, so Xuance Jun just tried to say: "Teacher, the charcoal fire outside the study room is burning particularly brightly this year... Is it because your body is afraid of heat?"
The man was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and at the same time he had a very bad premonition——
We old people in the household department have not made any calculations in private. Xiaozhi estimates that after the battle in Jiangdu, after all the losses, there will definitely be a lot of surplus.
"When the weather gets warmer next year, you want to prepare a generous gift for Huang Shuiyang..." I said urgently: "How to prepare that generous gift, Arlan, you need him to make a decision with you."
In front of the child, Old Li Xian raised his eyes to look at the Taifu and Xuance Jun beside him, and asked: "What, are they there?"
The battle of Chang Sui Ning made Chang Kuo's man famous again. The stupid rumors about the reincarnation of this general became more and more fierce. Some people already knew that someone was Xiao...
After hearing this, Shi Jin sighed and said: "There is no way to teach men how to drink wine... My master's talents are rarely heard of in the higher-ups. The two men in your family will definitely do nothing in the future."
The seven Taifus only thought that the "big lambs" in Li Xian's mouth must be the descendants of the Chu family. Xuance Jun then smiled and said: "How can you family not have the filial piety!"
This time the Japanese country sued for peace, it would cost a very small price. Tribute compensation would be waived or lost, and the governor Chang went to get the peace letter in person. How could he give the Japanese country an advantage?
Jin Chengyuan was very happy to see this. I specially asked people to allocate two large islands for the army to station and rest. All supplies and medicines were arranged in sufficient quantities.
At that time, a soldier entered the tent and reported: "Commander, according to reports from scouts, Miao Yanxin's small army is drinking and having fun in Bianjun City, celebrating... The people in Bianjun City are all in panic."
Miao Yanxin also praised the student I taught--Jiangdu Changshi.
The young Li Xian already looked embarrassed: "Although no one in Shangguan's family is proficient in medicine, they are really good at curing hemorrhoids..."
I returned to Beijing from the south, thinking that what was waiting for me was an opportunity to show off my skills, but everything in front of me was exactly what I expected...
In my opinion, the smallest reason why I lost to Huang Shuiyang was that the soldiers under my command were loose and capable. If my aunt had been willing to hand over the 80,000 Bian Chun Liang in the capital to me, I would have defeated Huang Shuiyang long ago!
But this little monthly money always makes ends meet. This child recently set up a medical tent in the city to treat some homeless women and children who were allowed to evacuate the city. My father also paid a lot of money with the withdrawal.
What about salary?
Thinking of the young master's heroic deeds when he was young, and looking at the thin old man with white hair in front of him, Xuan Cejun was suddenly filled with emotion.
Just now I heard Taifu mention that this boy of mine is setting up a medical tent in the city to help the refugees——
Realizing that the eyes of the two censors were on his buttocks, the official's words of defense came to his lips and he didn't know where to start. He could only leave angrily and humiliatedly - but such a reaction seemed to sit down again.
Li Xian's words were fulfilled.
The Tutor thought it was only a matter of at least a few hundred taels, and he happily thanked him.
Miao Yan smiled and waved his hands: "Which way, which way..."
Arlan seemed to be aware of what I was referring to, his eyes moved slightly, and then he nodded.
On the other side of the Bohai Sea is Youzhou.
There are not many such things.
At this moment, the soldier concealed many details and only summed up the situation of the people of Miaoyan with the words "panic is safe".
Yuezhou's eyes didn't look like he was determined to win.
Miao Yan asked tactfully: "Sage...has no one else to show you?"
"The saint has no arrangements." Xuance Jun said: "We are waiting for General Xiao Minxiao to return to Beijing."
It was difficult for Qiao Jijiu to concentrate on enjoying the praise. Li Xian suddenly started killing more and more fiercely under the chessboard. I was slow to respond. In addition, the charcoal fire was too strong and I was already sweating.
Yuezhou tightened his palms pressed against the sand table, suppressing his inner rage.
Until Xuance Jun talked about other generals who were also there.
However, I heard the old man say: "No big lamb has given you a sum of charcoal money. This year's charcoal money is a little less because you have been careful..."
The merit and fame belong to Cui Jing and Chang Kuo and their father and son, but I can only lead the defeated army and still stick to this place during the New Year's Day.
Mentioning the Chang Governor, the wrinkles on Xuance Jun's brows widened so much.
It was already night in Jingzhou, which was only 1,700 miles away from the capital.
Add to this the fact that Li Xian was indeed honest in his conduct, was not interested in power at all, and had always remained neutral. He even intended to let his descendants in his family serve as officials. He had desires and ambitions, but did not have the pride and pride of a scholar. These hostile people gradually became willing to encounter bad luck again.
, when facing Li Xian, his attitude changed from the initial "Who can get rid of me?" to the "Who messed with me again?"
But this year is a common cold winter. It has just entered the twelfth lunar month, and sea ice has not yet formed on the surface of some sea areas in Changsui Ning.
On the other side, when Miao Yanxin left Japan, he knew that Yuezhou had been secured and Takehiko Ishimoto had been executed, so he led his army back home with peace of mind.
Previously, as Li Xian's official position became lower and lower, his reputation was increasingly recognized by the literati, and he became a very suitable check and balance candidate in the eyes of the late emperor. The situation was quickly reversed. From the beginning, he was squeezed out by his colleagues in the officialdom, and finally became my
One person crowds out the entire officialdom.
The good news that Miao Yanxin defeated the Japanese army at Miao Yanxin had reached the Jingzhou military camp a few days ago. Yuezhou strictly suppressed it on the grounds of "shaking the morale of the army", but allowed the soldiers to discuss it privately.
…
Before everything was settled, Mr. Zhan stood on the lower part of an island on the edge of Dongluohan Prefecture, looking at the Bohai Sea in the distance.
But I am not qualified to make a request at this moment. My aunt is satisfied that I am not disappointed yet, and may hand over Bian Chunliang, who is stationed in the capital, to me.
