The newly appointed officials of Liang and Yi Prefectures, as well as the governor of Yongliang, are only acting on behalf of others and do not count as formal official positions for the time being.
In addition to having to go through the court process, there is also a lack of some legal evidence, such as the imperial edict and the king's order. There is only a document signed by the general, which is incomplete.
But everyone knows that this is a formal appointment! From now on, it is just a matter of completing the formalities. The generals believe in Qin Liang's promise, and they are willing to believe it. As long as there is a military order from the general, everyone can mobilize the remaining Wei army officers and take action immediately.
Authorized.
Qin Liang then began to prepare for the return journey. All the troops of the Chinese army set off from the station in batches and took the Jinniu Road to Guanzhong first.
Fei Cheng was going to be the prefect of Qianwei County and would not go to Luoyang with the army. Only his second brother Fei Gong and his family would go with Liu Chan, the leader of Shu. However, Fei Gong's team was not with Liu Chan, Liu Xuan and others, but with Qin Dynasty.
Liang Zhongjun went with him; his sister Fei Shi was naturally arranged to be with Fei Gong's family.
Before departure, Qin Liang met Qiao Zhou again.
Before that, Qin Liang had personally met one of Qiao Zhou's students, the young Chen Shou. Because Qin Liang was interested in Chen Shou, he talked a few more words. So much so that the former Shu Han officials who were traveling with him were all interested in Chen Shou.
Shou was a little surprised.
Qin Liang summoned Qiao Zhou, not because Qiao Zhou was the one who persuaded Liu Chan to surrender, and it had nothing to do with his status in Yizhou Scholars; but because he just knew that Qiao Zhou was proficient in the art of prophecy!
In this aspect of mysticism, Du Qiong was originally more accomplished, but Du Qiong was already dead. Hearing that Qiao Zhou and Du Qiong had explored knowledge together, Qin Liang could only meet Qiao Zhou.
The theory of yin and yang and the five elements is contained in the prophecy technique. Qin Liang mentioned all things
Born out of nothingness, there are two kinds of Qi, Yin and Yang (or vacuum quantum fluctuations). For unknown reasons, the positive particle Yang Qi has the upper hand, so all things are born.
Qiao Zhou believed that what Qin Liang was talking about was Taoism, and then compared the theories of various schools of thought on how to govern the country. However, Qin Liang did not want to talk about governing the country with Qiao Zhou at all. He was purely interested in the theory of yin and yang, so he felt that it was a chicken-and-duck discussion.
Qiao Zhou is obviously not the kind of person he is looking for!
What Qin Liang is looking for is a natural miraculous person. Because he heard in Shu that there are some people in the world who are not just making up theories based on imagination, but can really see things that ordinary people cannot see! For example, some people can see the meridians, which are caused by
This describes something complex that normal people cannot detect.
He thought of Lu Ning's master again, but he forgot his name. Moreover, the Shu officials did not know that there were any magical Taoist priests in the area, and they were unknown.
Now it seems that most of the people in Shu are nothing special, just like the situation in Wei!
It's probably just that there are more rice grown in Shu, and wheat and millet are more common in Wei, but it's not that there is no rice. As for gods such as Phoenix Mountain, Qin Liang also didn't go up to see it in person. What kind of gods can there be on a small mountain on the plain?
On the contrary, it was the Sima Bridge on the Phoenix River. When Qin Liang left Chengdu, he took a closer look at it. Because when he first entered the city, he was not sure that this inconspicuous stone bridge was the bridge that Sima Xiangru walked on.
Qin Liang's Zhongli camp left Chengdu in late July. The large group of troops took the main road back and passed through Micang Mountain, Qinchuan, the Guanzhong Plain, and then passed Tongguan. It was already early September.
…Recently, there have been troops coming from
Arriving at Luoyang in the west, it was the Chinese army and horses returning from the expedition to Shu. Many people ran to Xiyang Gate to see it. In addition, the city was outside the west gate of the inner city. In the past few days, near the inner street of Xiyang Gate, it was simply...
Crowds of people.
The world should want to see the scene where the leader of the Shu Han Kingdom was captured, but of course they couldn't see it. Adou would not be shown to the public like a defeated general, let alone be locked in a prison car for people to watch.
People may happen to see the honor guard of the general returning from victory. The story of the general's deeds in the war to destroy the country has been talked about everywhere recently! The world has long been accustomed to the idea of three kingdoms. Suddenly one country is missing from the world, which naturally makes people illiterate.
Everyone talks about it. The reputation of Qin Liang, the great general of the Wei State, has reached its peak at this moment. Many people feel that it would be a blessing to see the majesty with their own eyes and talk about it.
At least the court ministers knew about General Qin Liang's itinerary, because everyone had to go out of the city to meet him.
Xuan Ji and others at the Wang family residence also heard about it from Gong Yuan. She calculated the time and found that Zhong Ming would arrive in Luoyang probably tomorrow morning!
In front of Lingjun Gongyuan and the others, Xuanji didn't show anything, and even looked a little distracted. However, Xuanji's emotions in her heart were already ups and downs.
It was almost evening now, and when she thought of going back to her room to sleep, getting up later tomorrow, and seeing Zhong Ming soon, she was both happy and panicked! Sometimes she was like this, and could survive for half a year.
In the past, the last night would be particularly painful.
Xuanji returned to the east courtyard early. Before it got dark, she went up to the familiar attic.
I came to the back window and looked at the green tile roof outside. It seemed that there would be conspicuous white tofu on that roof.
&nb Suddenly the clear sound of “ding-dong…” came from the roof tiles.
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of rain filled the air, and the green tiles outside the wooden window became pale and blurry.
Unexpectedly, in late autumn, there would be such a heavy rain. When the troops arrived at Sili, they would not rush on the road in the rain. This would delay their journey! The definite time that could have been predicted turned into a vague rough idea.
It is estimated that Xuanji suddenly felt depressed.
Unfortunately, I can't tell anyone about my feelings, not even your Majesty or the maids who are close to me, otherwise I will make others laugh!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping. After a long time, Xuanji had no choice but to walk down the attic and saw a maid standing on the edge of the eaves. Xuanji took a closer look and saw that the maid was holding an umbrella.
From time to time, the water in the patio was being scraped hard, I don’t know if it was playing or cleaning umbrellas.
The heavy rain has formed puddles on the brick floor in the patio. Every time the maid's umbrella is pulled back, the clear water will be blown up and even poured outside the patio.
The maids often do some boring things, and I don't know what they are doing. But the more unpredictable something is, the more it will make people subconsciously think more!
Xuanji immediately looked away and turned to look at the branches in the rain beside the pavilion. The leaves of that tree had fallen off, but the branches were not dead branches, they were still alive. In the wind and rain, they stood upright in the wind.
Even after being bent by the wind, it will immediately bounce back, very straight and powerful, and its posture is extremely stubborn.
The maid finally spotted Xuan Ji, hurriedly put away her umbrella, knelt down and said, "I've seen the girl before."
Xuan Ji's face felt a little hot. She didn't ask the maid what she was doing. She just nodded and went back to her room immediately.
In fact, she has all kinds of expectations for the reunion, not limited to that kind of thing. But the more intuitive something is, the easier it is to make people wait for it. She can't think about it. Once she remembers it, she will think about it again and again.
The sky was getting darker, but it was still too early. Xuan Ji lay on the couch, feeling sleepy for a long time. She lay down for a while, then turned sideways, but she could never find a comfortable and relaxing posture. She felt a little bit
Heavy, not as easy as spreading it slightly flat. After tossing and turning for a long time, she thought about various past events, and finally fell asleep.
When Xuan Ji woke up, she found that it was already bright!
She sat up sleepily, and then heard the silence outside, with the occasional call of sparrows. She immediately got up, wearing a white lining, and opened the wooden door without bothering to dress up. Suddenly she saw the roof of the wing.
, a ray of orange sunshine made the color of the tile roof seem lighter! It was sunny after the rain, and the air was clear and cool.
As long as there is sunshine, even in late autumn, it feels like spring flowers are blooming!
At this time, the maid's voice said: "It was very late last night, and I still heard the sound of the girl turning over. This morning, I saw that the girl was still asleep, so I didn't have the heart to wake her up."
Xuanji couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile on her face, and said nicely: "It doesn't matter if it's a little later."
The maid said again: "Mrs. Wang said earlier that the girl should go to the front in a while.
Find her in the hall courtyard."
Xuan Ji was suddenly enlightened and quickly went back to her room to dress up and change her clothes. She also took out the box of rouge and gouache. Today she would put on some light makeup and polish it carefully.
After packing everything up, she followed her instructions and went to the hall and courtyard to see her order. Before noon, a servant reported that the order had returned!
Xuanji, Lingjun, and the female members of the Wang family went out to greet them, and lively voices came from the gate. In addition to Gongyuan and Gongji brothers, there were the third brother Wang Jinhu in official robes, and Qin Zhongming in Zhajia!
Zhong Ming seemed to have said that he liked to ride horses when he came back from the expedition, so naturally he did not remove his armor in advance.
Qin Liang was still on horseback. When he saw everyone walking out of the gatehouse, he immediately turned his head and looked directly at Lingjun and Xuanji.
Then he turned over vigorously and jumped off the horse, took off his helmet, and stepped forward to greet the relatives of the Wang family. With his cordial, joyful and enthusiastic eyes, and powerful free and easy movements, his feet made a "dong" sound when he stepped on the brick floor, as if he was stepping on a mysterious stone floor.
On Ji's heart! Xuan Ji had to use the spiritual emptiness technique immediately, otherwise she would be a little embarrassed in front of her relatives!
Your Majesty looked at Qin Liang carefully, and he said softly: "Don't worry, sir, I'm fine." Then your Majesty came back to his senses, hurriedly made a gesture of lowering his eyes, and bowed to Qin Liang dignifiedly and steadily.
Her etiquette has always been very upright, "I respectfully welcome your husband back from the war."
Xuan Ji didn't want to say anything in public. When she greeted Qin Liang, she just said softly: "Zhong Ming is back."
At this time, Gongyuan's voice said: "I originally thought that Zhongming would take the kings and ministers of Shu to the East Hall first. In front of all the ministers of the court, he would present prisoners to His Majesty. It is such a grand and rare occasion.
!”
Qin Liang glanced at Lingjun Xuanji's face with casual eyes, and then smiled at Gongyuan: "I still want to come to my uncle's house as soon as possible. The whole family hasn't seen each other for a long time."
