Seeing the enthusiasm and determination of all the students, Zheng Chao sighed deeply in his heart when he left.
Scholars are good at analyzing the pros and cons of the current situation, but they also know how to stick to integrity. The combination of these two makes a complete scholar.
Rather than preventing the student from leaving, he chose to let him leave, so that he could truly appease and win over those students who were on the verge of wavering... This is also a kind of "play hard to get" and "coercion in disguise"-coercion with kindness and kindness.
.
But the prerequisite for this is that there is real grace and righteousness available.
Whether it was Chang Suining, the governor of Jiedu, or Li Suining, the crown prince's concubine, the kindness she had left in the hearts of these intellectuals truly existed.
If this were not the case, no matter how he calculated people's hearts, it would still be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
Someone will definitely leave next, but it doesn't matter, there will definitely be a lot of people left in the end, and they are all sincere people who can be equal to ten.
The Crown Princess went to Beidi to train not only herself, but also the people around her.
If she returns in the future, she will become the most outstanding prince in the eyes of the world, and her great achievements will even surpass those of the former Crown Prince Xiao - when the former Crown Prince Xiao fought against Beidi, at most he was only expelled and never set foot in that desert.
She has done something that her ancestors have never done. If she can really do it, when she triumphs, she will be greeted by the most sincere and close hearts.
Zheng Chao's eyes were filled with hope, as if he could see the vitality of Dasheng. By then, Liminjianghe would have emerged from the catastrophe and ushered in a real new life.
Zheng Chao saw this wall of hope and walked into the autumn scenery: "If the harsh winter is not severe, how can we see the spring..."
The harsh winter has arrived, and whether the people can see spring depends on whether that person can come out of the severe winter in Beidi.
Personal life and death are minor matters, but some people are responsible for the life and death of the world.
The governor's office of Jiangdu also received a letter from the capital.
In addition to announcing that the capital was settled, the letter also invited officials from Jiangdu to Beijing to discuss the plan for peace and stability. It seemed that they did not care that this was the place under the jurisdiction of the crown princess, and it seemed to be a generous gesture of treating everyone equally.
, and did not hesitate to show the scheming city that runs deep under this magnanimity.
Wang Changshi saw that the signature of this letter was none other than Luo Guanlin. Thinking that this man had been writing poems and articles to honor the king's benevolence and virtue, he couldn't help but said: "If Mr. Qian is still here, how can there be room for this man?"
furious."
I asked him to say that although Mr. Qian has never been an official, his literary talent and knowledge are far superior to that of Luo Guanlin!
No matter how many ten Luo Guanlin he has, they are still no match for one Mr. Qian!
Wang Changshi did not know the specific whereabouts of "Qian Shen" and was still sending people to search for his whereabouts. Wang Yue, who knew this very well, said at this time: "Only hypocrites need to be praised in poetry, but the virtues of Your Highness are already in the world."
Everyone knows it, and we don’t need to shout around, nor do we need Qian Shen’s poems to express it——”
As he spoke later, Wang Yue's voice dropped.
If we ask whether he blames his friend for his choice, Wang Yue does.
In the past, he often talked about his friend's "three-year agreement" and often teased that his friend suffered from "change of ownership syndrome". He knew better that people have their own ambitions, but when it came to this day, Wang Yue found it difficult to accept...
...No matter which kind of truth it is, he can't accept it.
Before Luo Guanlin left, he wrote a letter to Wang Yue.
The letter simply stated that Luoyang no longer needed money.
There was nothing else but Wang Yue was entrusted to take care of his family.
Yao Ran did not comment on this. At this moment, she only said: "Such a letter must also be sent to the provincial governors of Huainan Province. It is urgent to strengthen the supervision of each state."
Wang Yue nodded, his expression gradually became serious, and he looked at the other officials: "Your Highness's battlefield is in Beidi, and we are also His Highness's soldiers. Although we do not need to rush to the north, we must guard the rear city and property on behalf of Your Highness!"
All the officials responded solemnly.
In the next few days, letters from various states blew into Jiangdu like falling leaves.
Yun Hui forwarded the letter from King Rong of the capital to Jiangdu. The letter had not even been opened and was sent to Jiangdu intact.
The governors of other states also sent the biography of King Rong together, and most of them were asking for news about Li Suining.
Many secret letters of inquiry were sent to Chang Kuo. Some of the inquiries were a bit straightforward, equivalent to asking directly, "I heard that Her Royal Highness died in Beidi, I don't know whether it is true or not." After Chang Kuo read it, he wrote a reply in his own hand.
When the official received the reply, he felt that although it was just a letter, it was quite lethal... The curses in the letter made his ears hurt, and the words seemed to come alive and jumped out of the letter paper.
, turned into a big-eared scraper, and slapped him until stars popped out of his eyes.
Chang Kuo wrote more than ten letters like this, focusing on the question of who gets slapped when asked.
Even though the Jiangdu Governor's Office responded to the outside world that Her Royal Highness was safe and sound and would return in triumph soon, there were still people everywhere in Huainan Road who were restless.
King Rong was recruiting people everywhere, and some people kept spreading the news that Li Suining had been buried in Beidi. People everywhere began to gather around the capital.
Many officials in Huainan Province saw this and were having trouble sleeping and eating. Their position was already opposite to that of King Rong. If they did not express their stance as soon as possible, if King Rong ascended the throne in the future, no matter how hard they surrendered, they would still be able to save their lives.
, I am afraid that I will be trapped in the quagmire for the rest of my life...
There are not a few people who have this kind of worry, and there are also people who take action because of this worry.
For example, Shao Shantong, the governor of Guangzhou, received a secret letter from the governor of Luzhou.
Liang Tanzhi, the governor of Luzhou, tested Xinjian and instigated Shao Shantong to go to Beijing together.
Shao Shantong replied impatiently that day - "Is it too risky for just you and me?"
The next day, I received another letter from the governor of Luzhou, saying that Ban Run, the governor of Chuzhou, also had this intention, and others could try to persuade him, and he had already sent a letter to the capital to make preparations.
This time, the governor of Luzhou did not wait for a reply from Shao Shantong. What he was waiting for was the Jiangdu Army who came to visit him late at night.
The governor of Luzhou was shocked and annoyed - Shao Shantong had actually betrayed him?!
Having been a neighbor for many years, he was most aware of Shao Shantong's restless virtues. When Li Suining first took office, Shao Shantong was the one who opposed the most... When it comes to crooked thoughts, this figure has always been a veteran! If not, he wouldn't be able to
Thinking about hooking up with this guy!
Soon, soldiers surrounded the Luzhou Governor's Mansion, and Liang Tanzhi was captured and detained in the front hall.
In the darkness of the night, a woman with a high bun wearing a lake blue female historian's uniform and a cloak walked in from outside.
It originally looked like a green willow, but now in this night, it gives people a feeling of getting stronger over time.
The governor of Luzhou recognized Yao Ran. He defended himself but when he saw that Yao Ran was unmoved, he slowly showed an angry look: "...You are a little female historian, why should you lock me up with me!"
Yao Ran showed a token and his expression remained calm: "I have the power of reward, punishment, life and death in Huainan Road under the orders of the Jiedushi Crown Princess. It should be more than enough to interrogate the governor of Liang."
"What kind of princess! She's just lying to the world!" The governor of Luzhou struggled: "What crime do you want to accuse me of! Is it just based on my intention to go to Beijing?"
"Crime?" The woman's voice was slow: "Did Governor Liang really forget how many dirty things he had on his hands?"
"When the envoy spared your life and allowed you to continue sitting in this position, he wanted you to do things obediently." Yao Ran looked at the struggling man, and a look of contempt gradually appeared in his eyes: "The envoy valued his ability to work hard.
But I don’t want to leave you to work in the camp and eat the inside and outside.”
She ignored Liang Tanzhi, then turned her back and looked around at the Luzhou officials who had been summoned by her: "Everyone should know that the envoys only went to Beidi, but Huainan Road still belongs to the envoys. Anyone who wants to change his mind
Before that, you need to lower your head to see where you are stepping on!"
"—so as not to do stupid things and disturb others and harm yourself." After Yao Ran finished speaking, he walked out of the hall door.
While the officials were trembling and saluting, they heard the woman say: "Liang Tan, the governor of Luzhou, forged weapons privately and had evil intentions. He was immediately taken to Jiangdu for trial."
The soldier responded, and Liang Tanzhi cursed angrily, "How could he ever forge a weapon privately?"
He thought, but Huainan Road was so controlled by Jiangdu that he would die like this. Where would he cast it? Who would cast it for him? He would hide it under the covers with his wife and concubine!
Thinking of his family, Liang Tanzhi suddenly came to his senses, his anger disappeared, he was dragged away, and he began to try to beg for mercy from Yao Ran's back in front of him.
Yao Ran seemed as if he hadn't heard anything and never looked back.
The accusation is not important, the more unrealistic the better, the purpose is to let other people in Huainan Road know that this accusation is a random fabrication, so that they can take a look and have different intentions.
In the night, Yao Ran boarded the carriage.
She sat in the car, looking at the bumpy and swaying curtains, her expression never changing.
People have been panicking recently, and the servant girl who served her once asked her quietly with red eyes - if the envoy really can't come back, what will happen to the female historian?
Yao Ran's answer was: "Although heaven and earth are big, apart from the envoys, there is no other person worthy of Yao Ran's loyalty and worship."
【When the festival envoy returns, Ran will wait for him; when the festival envoy dies, Ran will follow him.】
If you are lucky enough to follow such a person, you will be honored even if you die, but not defeated.
With this determination to die, Yao Ran never hesitated in his actions.
Liang Tanzhi was quickly escorted to follow.
In the backyard bedroom of Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, Shao Shantong sneezed twice wildly.
The concubine lying next to him stood up and handed him the veil: "Master Lang, it must be Liang Tanzhi scolding you behind your back."
Shao Shantong snorted and laughed: "Excuse me, if his head falls to the ground and he sneezes twice, I won't suffer any loss."
The concubine shook his arm and asked in a low voice: "Master Sir, why have you become so loyal this time?"
Shao Shantong let out a "tsk" sound, put his arm behind his head, looked at the bed curtain and thought, "I can't say much at the moment..."
"Perhaps I think Liang Tanzhi and Liang Tanzhi are not very reliable." He said disdainfully: "How can a person who makes false accounts and a person who loves bed bug burritos be reliable?"
"I understand, now, your judgment of picking people is because of Jiushi. A person like the sun and moon, Jiushi, naturally looks down on these idle people!"
Shao Shantong touched his forehead: "There are two truths to this..."
After a moment, he said with some emotion: "It's not just a matter of cultivating a traitor... I often feel that my conscience has been cultivated out of thin air, and I can't help but feel nervous when I walk."
"These days, I always think about the fact that I have sent her to a dangerous place where she could almost die. What if she comes back one day and finds her family empty?" He sighed: "Every time I think about this, I always feel sad. I feel strange and uncomfortable in my heart, so I want to guard the house for the governor and take care of the family business."
Hey, he was originally a traitor, but he was raised as a housekeeper. What kind of thing is this?
The concubine smiled and curled her lips: "If I want to tell you, you are still scared."
Shao Shantong, on the other hand, was confident: "She is a little lady, and she can transform me into such a completely different person. It shows her methods, so it's normal!"
He had to admit that he was both convinced and afraid of this "little lady".
While Shao Shantong was still thinking about what it would be like to transform into an old housekeeper, he suddenly felt the concubine's hand beside him slip into the bed and touch his chest.
Shao Shantong quickly pushed away the person who was approaching him: "Go, go, go..."
The concubine felt aggrieved: "Master, what are you doing?"
But Shao Shantong turned over and turned his back to her: "I have been fasting and praying for the festival recently, please don't ruin my business."
The concubine's eyes were opened: "Then what are you doing in my room? Are you just lying in bed and chatting?"
"You think I want to come? Madam, she cried endlessly when she mentioned the envoy..."
The concubine lay down dissatisfied and pulled off the quilt angrily.
Shao Shantong pulled the quilt hard and said angrily: "Sleep!"
One only knows how to cry with him, and the other only misses his body. How annoying!
Let’s sleep in the study or Buddhist hall tomorrow!
…
In Taiyuan City, thousands of miles away on Huainan Road, people's hearts are also floating.
Faced with the uneasiness of the clan members, Cui Lang sighed: "My grandfather is really good at predicting events... In this situation, isn't it true that both bets were right?"
He also heard that his father is now recruiting various forces for King Rong, which is a tiring job... The father has finally grown up, and although he is now hostile, the son is also happy
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Master, please stop talking about these useless things." A clan uncle sighed and urged: "Now that Prince Rong is about to welcome the Emperor back to the capital, how should we best deal with it?
?”
Cui Lang smiled easily: "Isn't this simple?"
All the clansmen looked at him and were about to listen carefully when they saw him standing up: "Of course I should ask the Taifu!"
"..." The tribesmen stood up, and someone reminded in a low voice: "The Taifu must be trustworthy? After seeing the letter from King Rong, many of the officials are now wavering..."
"The Taifu is different." Cui Lang said: "His Royal Highness the Queen said that all matters in Taiyuan are decided by the Taifu - with Your Highness's words, if we make wild speculations, it will be just an excuse!"
As Cui Lang said this, he left and went to see the Taifu.
When he arrived, he saw that the inside and outside of Taifu's study were already surrounded by anxious and worried officials.
In such a situation, everyone is waiting to hear what the Grand Master has to say.
The Taifu didn't say anything clearly, he just told everyone: "Everyone is stable first, wait a moment..."
Everyone was speculating, what are they waiting for? Waiting for news about Her Royal Highness? Waiting for the situation in the capital to change? In this case, the Taifu actually has no intention of defending Taiyuan to the end, right?
After hearing this, Cui Lang looked calm and said that he understood.
When everyone was leaving one after another, a young official asked Cui Lang in a low voice: "In your opinion, what does the Taifu mean by his words?"
Cui Lang shook his head: "I don't know either."
The man choked: "Then just now..."
"I'm pretending!" Cui Lang smiled mysteriously and whispered: "Taifu hates stupid people the most. If I show that I don't understand, what if Taifu thinks I'm stupid and won't allow me to come near him next time?"
The young official was stunned and speechless.
Cui Lang's words were half true and half false. He wanted the Taifu to think that he had brains and was a useful person.
And he could probably guess the Taifu's intention, but the Taifu didn't say it clearly. If he said it, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Cui Lang made jokes and laughed calmly during the day, but in the evening, he often sat alone at the foot of the steps and looked to the north.
In addition to the crucial master, the two people he cares about the most are also in the north, so how can he not be worried.
But whether it’s master, eldest brother, or Mianmian, everyone has his own place in the storm, so he has to stand still as a fire stick.
Above the night sky, the stars are changing.
The golden autumn sun melts into the autumn wind, dyeing the vegetation yellow wherever the wind passes.
When the withered grass and trees began to frost, Li Suining put on the thick fox velvet hat, lightly stepped on the stirrups, jumped on the horse's back, grabbed the reins, and continued to move forward.
