The little boy stepped forward and stopped the carriage: "Is the envoy Huan in the carriage?"
The little boy's crisp and tender voice interrupted Huan Yi's contemplation, and the little boy said: "My master said, I heard that you are good at playing the flute, try to play it for me!"
Huan Yi's entourage was stunned and thought to himself that who was so angry and was about to scold him, but Huan Yi asked, "Who is your master?"
"Wang Huizhi"
"But Wang Ziyou?"
"That's right!" The little boy was full of pride, and he was not afraid of facing Huan Yi.
Huan Yi got out of the car. He didn't know Wang Huizhi, but he had known his name. He looked in the direction of the little boy's finger and saw a guest boat on the bank of Qingxi River. A middle-aged scholar wearing a big sleeve and a wide shirt.
, standing on the side of the boat with his hands behind his back, Huan Yi ordered someone to put down the Hu bed, sit on it, holding Cai Yongke Pavilion flute in his hand
Keting's flute is a famous flute. It is said that Cai Yong took refuge in Kuaiji and found that the sixteenth bamboo rafters in the bamboo that built Keting were unique. He immediately replaced the bamboo to make a flute. The flute sounded soft and extraordinary.
Therefore, the name "Keting Diver" Huan Yi felt that Keting Diver often played, thinking that the treasure Huan Yi put the flute under his waist, put it to his mouth and played the plum blossoms falling, and the same strings and different emblems overtones, the flute sound was clear and wonderful.
Later generations said that it was the Three Plum Blossoms, and after the piano music was played, Huan Yi got on the car and the host and the guest did not say a word.
After a banquet, although it seemed that both parties had said a lot and interacted enthusiastically with each other, everyone knew what each other meant. These gentry clans were like this before they broke up.
Back in the study, seeing her daughter Xie Ling who had been waiting there, Xie An finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Ling'er"
"Are you back?" Xie Ling, who kept holding his cheek with one hand and didn't know what he was thinking, was obviously very surprised to see his father.
"Yes," Xie An sat down, rubbed his eyes with some fatigue, and then said directly: "Sima Daozi and others may not be able to hold back."
Xie An said it was very simple, but Xie Ling certainly understood it. In fact, although Xie An is the most unscrupulous person in politics, the Xie family is also the most powerful force in the court now, and the Northern Palace Army is also the guarantee.
However, after all, it is hard to defeat the opponent with two fists, and tigers cannot defeat the group of wolves. If all forces attack him, Xie An may not be his opponent, because he was able to reach his current position at the beginning, and it is not that he has the absolute
Strength, but because of the momentum
The times have caused, and at that critical moment, everyone was willing to recommend Xie An, so people said, "Xie An cannot go out of the mountain, how can he face the people of the world?"
Of course, there are many reasons why Xie An can gain such reputation.
First of all, the standard for enrollment at that time was the first family. This was caused by the nine-rank Zhongzheng's official selection system at that time. Just like the imperial examination system after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, scholars broke the first Jinshi exam and discussed the family. At that time, thank you
Although the family is not as good as the Wang family, it is also an indisputable high school. No one can think of becoming an official. "There is no poor family, and there is no noble family." You are not from a high school. Dazhong, who is responsible for recommending officials, doesn't even think of you.
So, in terms of family background, there is no problem with Xie An's family background. If there is any problem with Xie An's family background, then no one is qualified. Although Xie An doesn't care about family background when actually employed people, to be honest, that's also true.
It's just a personal phenomenon, not a institutional phenomenon. After all, he is the beneficiary of this system.
Secondly, it is reputation. In fact, this reputation has been established in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. And the more hermit, the higher the reputation, why did Liu Bei visit Zhuge Liang three times? Because Zhuge Liang was a great hermit, and his reputation is high. You say that reputation is empty,
Of course, everything is empty without the test of practice. For example, before Xie An, there was a famous scholar named Yin Hao, who was a "white mind". Before he came out of the mountain, people also said, "Yin Hao will not come out,
"What do you think of the people?" As a result, when you try it out, it's not the case. Your life's good reputation has been ruined. So, reputation is sometimes actually very weak. If you have reputation alone, it will definitely harm the country and the people.
But then again, this reputation is not completely false. How did the reputation come about? It was passed down from humans and more people, and the more they spread, the more they become famous, so you have to have something to pass on, at least you have to
Talented and able to speak well. Even if you have not been tested by practice, you must make people think that you are very knowledgeable, thoughtful and wise. In addition, it is also very important that you are a cunning villain.
, You are eager for quick success and instant benefits all day long, You are greedy for money and lust, You are timid, You betray your friends, You are irresponsible, You are pedantic, You are lazy and presumptuous, You are false, You just have one of them, OK, That's it
The stain will also be transmitted from person to person. Soon, your reputation will be created.
Xie An did not occupy any of these in the aristocratic circle. He was the only person who could not find any fault in people. Many of them were his friends and admired him conscientiously. The people at that time described him like this:
Warm, noble, broad, and deep, or Huan Wen's words are the most accurate summary: "An Shi's way of being a person is indeed better than others."
It is precisely because of these that when Xie An lived in seclusion, he was always known as the "No. 1 celebrity" at that time. Everyone is waiting and seeing whether he can live up to expectations and whether he can support the country at the critical moment.
In the past, the Qin Empire was in the north, like Mount Tai, which gave strong pressure to the Jiangnan Dynasty and the opposition. The entire country was at risk of destruction at any time. Think about it, what was the situation just three years ago? It was lost in Shu, Xiangyang
Lost, Shouyang is lost, most people think that it is difficult to avoid being unified by the Hu people.
It was in such an extremely dangerous situation that Huan Wen was also dead. The Wang family and other families could not and would not take the lead. Xie An was willing to come forward to shoulder this responsibility, risk, unite the strength of the whole country to fight.
enemy
It is precisely because of external troubles that the internal troubles were temporarily suppressed. In order to avoid the Di people coming, everyone from poor families to gentry, from Jiangzuo to Jingxiang, everyone fully supported Xie An, and this was the case with the arrival of Feishui.
Victory of the Battle
But now, the army has recovered a large area of land south of the Yellow River, and Liu Yu's Northern Palace Army has attacked Guanggu again. No matter how confused people are, they know that the threat from the north has basically disappeared, and the power from the north will never threaten it again
Jin State survives
In this case, the foundation and premise of the past unity will be gone, and the internal struggle will begin
Last time, they had already launched a large-scale political struggle with three unsuccessful Northern Expeditions. At that time, the emperor Sima Yao did not make a clear statement. Although Sima Daozi followed the Wang family and shouted a few words,
There is no substantial action, so it is not too difficult to resolve it
But this time, the situation was different, because Sima Yao and Sima Daozi's statements were clearer. It was obvious that the royal family reached a tacit understanding with some people this time, and they had decided to stand aside.
What is even more worrying is that the current situation is different from even a year ago. At that time, Xie An was at its peak and could not be replaced. The so-called "If Anshi does not come out, why can the people live?"
Whether in the court or in the wild, everyone has high expectations for Xie An. Even if the opposition forces want to take action, they have to think carefully.
But now, since the country is fine, Xie An seems not so important. So the people who support Xie An are probably the only ones who have Xie An’s own strength.
Seeing that his father was worried, Xie Ling said softly: "Father, don't worry too much, the situation is not at its worst."
Xie An smiled bitterly and said, "Of course things still have a turnaround, but Ling'er, you must be prepared this time. This may be the biggest test we have encountered in the past few decades. Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid!" Xie Ling said firmly
"Of course you are not afraid, but... I'm afraid some people are afraid." Xie An shook his head with a wry smile
"You're talking about..." Xie Ling's face looked ugly
"Oh, there is nothing I can do about this. I'm sorry for your sister." Xie An looked very lonely at this moment.
Xie Ling also showed a little sadness on her face. Sometimes, for women, if they marry the wrong person, they will basically be ruined in their entire life.
The person they mentioned was the poor woman who married Wang Guobao, the daughter of Xie An, and the sister of Xie Ling.
Everyone knows that Wang Guobao has now stood opposite to Xie An, and naturally the opposite to the Xie family. So how difficult will this daughter be to do?
Xie Ling wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Father, don't worry, we have accumulated for so many years, and we are not afraid of them using tricks. Anyway, no matter what, we will definitely keep the Xie family safe."
"Haha" Xie An smiled, "Some things you may need to re-evaluate"
"What?"
"Beifu Army" Xie An rubbed his face exhaustedly, "Beifu Army, now it is probably a metropolitan."
"What?" Xie Ling stood up in surprise.
"Haha, Ling'er, you should have predicted it long ago, but you are unwilling to admit it." Xie An shook his head, "his ability is already much better than your brother, younger brother, cousin,
In the past, Li in the Battle of Feishui, he had made great contributions. His reputation can be said to be soaring. This time he can command troops. If he can't even catch this opportunity, he may not be considered my student.
Now, hehehe”
Shering paused and said, "I think he wouldn't betray us."
