My uncle and aunt had lunch at the mansion before leaving. Sun Li came in the afternoon.
According to the custom of the Wei Dynasty for many years, before leaving, foreign officials would visit the home of the auxiliary minister to listen to the guidance of the ruler. This is probably because the communication at this time is mainly verbal.
Necessary communication. Before Qin Liang went to Lujiang County as governor, he also visited Cao Shuang and met Sima Shi. Because the county governor's rank was not as good as that of state-level officials, he did not go to see Sima Yi specifically.
However, this was Sun Li's visit before he took office, so it felt a bit unusual. After all, Qin Liang had been his subordinate, and even his subordinate.
This situation is the most difficult relationship to get along with. For example, Huan Fan refused to serve as the pastor of Jizhou just because he became an official earlier than Lv Zhao, so he was unwilling to be under Lü Zhao in Jizhou.
In any case, Sun Li's willingness to come is acknowledging Qin Liang's status as assistant minister in the court.
Qin Liang naturally treated him with courtesy, personally welcomed him out of the mansion, and walked into the front hall side by side with Sun Li.
This kind of meeting was regarded as a private conversation. Except for Qin Liang and the other two who had just come in, there was no one in the huge hall. As Sun Li walked, he looked sideways at the empty seats where the banquet was placed on both sides. He seemed to be looking for
The place where I sat.
Maybe this is the feeling of things changing and people changing, and at the same time, there will be an epiphany of the passage of time.
Qin Liang couldn't help but look sideways at Sun Li. Sun Li was tall and tall, and still had a brave spirit, but he was obviously much older than he was eight or nine years ago, and his white hair on his temples was also very conspicuous.
When Cao Shuang was still around, Sun Li was probably dissatisfied with Cao Shuang and the people around him, so he hooked up with Sima Yi later. But now that they are gone, Sun Li would probably look down on the past grievances when he looked back.
Qin Liang said: "I returned to Luoyang last spring, and when I came here, I also had some emotions."
Upon hearing this, Sun Li turned to look at Qin Liang, nodded and said, "Yes."
Qin Liang had asked people to place two banquet tables on a slightly higher wooden platform, with several tables placed horizontally in the middle. Qin Liang walked to the west side and gestured to Sun Li to take a seat opposite.
Sun Li's power and official rank are much lower than those of Qin Liang, but he is a person from Cao Cao's era. Qin Liang does not regard Sun Li as his superior before, but also depends on his qualifications and should try to respect him as much as possible.
Sun Li obviously felt this as well, and when he took his seat, he cupped his hands and said thank you.
Two maids came over, knelt on the side of the table, placed a jar of wine and two finely polished crystal cups on the tables, then bent down and bowed, gently stood up and left.
"Glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine." Qin Liang stretched out his hand to indicate the things on the table and smiled.
The two people immediately looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that Sun Li still remembered this poem. Good poems are indeed easy to remember, but Qin Liang copied it.
Qin Liang only copied three or two poems in total, and I think two of them were related to Sun Li. This grape wine was after the Battle of Shaopi. Qin Liang was in a good mood and recited a poem in public.
Following the topic of old poems, the two started talking about the past and reminiscing about the past.
Qin Liang didn't say anything to guide Sun Li in government affairs. A person like Sun Li had been an official all his life. He had his own principles and experience. Generally speaking, he was a fair and abiding person who abided by the current rules. Qin Liang had nothing to say to him.
use.
Moreover, Sun Li moved closer to Sima Yi in the first place, mainly because he was dissatisfied with Cao Shuang. Sun Li was not a special case. During Cao Shuang's era, the senses and attitudes of many nobles were the same.
So Sun Li is not a member of the Wang family, and certainly not a member of Qin Liang, but he has worked with Wang Ling and Qin Liang and has a good relationship. The Wang family made Sun Li the governor of Jizhou, which is actually a fair arrangement. But this time the personnel arrangement
The main problem is that the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of Youzhou have gone back and forth.
The whole jar of wine was almost drunk, and the two of them were chatting about the past, when two "ding dong" sounds came from the next door.
There are windows between the front hall and the west side hall, and the air can circulate between the window lattice. Naturally, there is no sound insulation, and the sound is very clear. Then a song by Master Hongyi from outside the pavilion was melodiously transmitted to the banquet.
The melody of this piece is very simple, but the simple tone and the simple tone clearly convey the strong mood of separation. The sound of the piano has no words, and it is not the melody of the same era, but Sun Li immediately heard its artistic conception,
He looked sideways and followed the sound to the west, looking slightly sad.
After the song, Sun Li picked up the wine, drank with Qin Liang, and drank the full glass of wine in one gulp.
Qin Liang said: "I'll ask the maid to get another jar of wine."
Sun Li waved his hand and said: "No need, I have had enough fun today. Everything should not be excessive, and the same goes for feelings. If the two of us get drunk, it will appear unreasonable."
Qin Liang echoed a little dazedly: "That's true. Not long ago, there was a banquet in the Mansion, and many people came. Unfortunately, the envoy was still in Jingzhou at that time and had not returned to Luoyang. He will wait until the envoy returns to Luoyang to report on his duties.
, stay a few more days, and then have a drink at your house."
Sun Li showed a smile, stood up from the banquet, cupped his hands and said, "It's settled."
Upon seeing this, Qin Liang stood up from the mat and returned the courtesy.
Sun Li said: "I won't bother you any more. Please take your leave and go home to prepare for your trip."
Qin Liang then nodded and sent Sun Li out. The two of them walked side by side to the base of the pavilion. Qin Liang stopped and asked his assistant to see Sun Li off.
Sun Li walked to the familiar corridor and looked back. Qin Liang said: "Don't worry, you will have no friends in the future. No one in the world will not know you."
Sun Li smiled and waved to Qin Liang.
Those who were unable to attend the celebration banquet at General Wei's Mansion were not only Sun Li, but also Deng Ai. The personnel adjustments made to them by imperial decree were carried out at the same time, and the time for both of them to return to Beijing was similar.
The difference is that Sun Li is going to Jizhou, and Deng Ai has just returned from Jizhou and is going to Liangzhou. Now that Xiahou Ba, the governor of Liangzhou, has run away, Deng Ai is going to directly accept the mess in Liangzhou.
Deng Ai came the next morning. Qin Liang didn't pay much attention to Deng Ai. He invited Du Yu, the chief minister, Wang Kang, the minister, Yang Hu, the lieutenant, and others to have lunch together in the pavilion.
After the battle, Du Yu met and got along with Deng Ai, and Wang Kang also knew Deng Ai. Everyone talked with each other during the banquet, and it was not limited to Qin Liang's guidance to Deng Ai.
It was not until the afternoon, before Deng Ai left, that Qin Liang climbed up to the watchtower inside the mansion gate alone with him, and the two spent a while alone together in the narrow upstairs.
After standing high and watching the street scene outside for a while, Qin Liang said bluntly: "On the Western Front, the most important thing is personnel issues. When Cao Zhaobo conquered Shu, everyone criticized many of his deployments, but the biggest problem was...
In fact, it was caused by internal reasons. Guo Huai harmed Cao Zhaobo."
After hearing this, Deng Ai showed a look of surprise. He then thought for a moment and said, "Guo Boji was... a forward and was blocked in Xingshi Mountain. Was it intentional?"
Qin Liang said calmly: "I was serving in the army under Guo Huai at that time."
Not only that, before Qin Liang set off for the Western Front, he also met Sima Division. Sima Division promised Qin Liang on the condition of becoming a county guard and a general, and hinted that Qin Liang should not cause trouble or talk nonsense!
If Guo Huai had not reached any deal with the Sima family, it is still difficult to say whether the Wei army could have broken through Xingshi Mountain, but there must have been problems with it from the beginning.
During the Cao Shuang era, Guo Huai, a member of the Bingzhou noble family, was obviously leaning towards Sima Yi, but he could be a forward; and Sima Zhao, who had no battle experience at all, also became the deputy commander. The matter was the result of a compromise reached between the two parties. No
Thinking that Sima Yi didn't follow martial ethics and had already negotiated things, but still secretly used tricks to ensure that Cao Shuang could not achieve great things.
Qin Liang continued: "Wang Jing is from Jizhou. When he was in Luoyang, we got along very well. I recommended him to go to Annan to be the governor. Chen Tai, the governor of Yongzhou, had a close friendship with Fu Gu, and they could be regarded as family friends.
The two of them should not be calculating Shi Zai."
Deng Ai cupped his fists and said, "I understand, I understand."
Qin Liang said: "Shizai and Guo Huai have been in contact before, so they should have some friendship."
Deng Ai hurriedly said: "The general has rekindled... his kindness. He treats his servants very kindly, and he is close and trusts him. He will serve him until death... he will never betray the general."
"Between you and me, there is no need to explain." Qin Liang glanced at him and said, "Shizai can't talk about betraying Sima Yi, only stabbing him in the back. What I want to say is that if Guo Huai wants to associate with Shizai, Qing also
There’s no need to avoid him, it’s just a good time to find out more about who actually obeys Guo Huai’s orders.”
Deng Ai nodded.
Deng Ai hurriedly proved himself just now because he had served as the governor of Annan County on the Western Front. Sima Yi was still there at that time, and Guo Huai had an affair with Sima Yi. As a person promoted by Sima Yi, Deng Ai and Guo Huai should have a certain degree of mutual trust.
But everything is changing, and you can't see the truth without seeking a sword. The era of Sima Yi and Cao Shuang is over, and now the Bingzhou Hedong gentry has a new leader, and that is Wang Ling. Deng Ai can no longer get along with Guo Huai.
Having said what he should say before leaving, Qin Liang said: "On the day Shizai leaves the capital, I will ask Du Changshi to see you off. The conditions in Liangzhou are not as good as those in Luoyang and Xuchang, so Shizai should take care of himself."
Deng Ai bowed his head and said, "I am used to being poor. I used to live in Nan'an County and thought it was quite good. General, please take care. See you soon."
It was a bit difficult to talk to Deng Ai, but Qin Liang still patiently said a few farewell words to Deng Ai. Deng Ai went downstairs, but Qin Liang still stood where he was.
After a while, a carriage and several accompanying knights left the mansion. The bamboo curtain of the carriage opened, and Deng Ai stuck his head out of the window and looked up at the watchtower inside the mansion.
Qin Liang watched as the men and horses became smaller and smaller, and then he looked away from the street. When he turned his head, he saw the magnificent ancient palace not far away. Those palace pavilions were not the buildings in the palace, but
It is adjacent to the East Palace on the west side of General Wei's Mansion.
Under the autumn sunshine, although Luoyang is not beautiful, it still has a kind of elegance. However, the place in Liangzhou, close to the border with Shuhan, is often destroyed by wars, so it must be a different scene. This chapter has been completed!
