The man called "Jin Qing" was tall and rode his horse side by side with Du Shisheng.
Hearing Guo Ning's question, he smiled slightly: "But I don't know where the gentleman wants to ask?"
Guo Ning also laughed: "What do Jin Qing think?"
This "Jin Qing" was the scholar who had previously been ordered by his disciple Shan Yi to assist Guo Ning.
The scholar's name was Yi La Chucai, after Taizu Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, his father Yi La Lu served as Shangshu Youcheng in the Zhang Zong Dynasty and participated in political affairs.
It is not a trivial matter for Yi Ji Lu to be a person. During the reign of Sejong Dading, he edited the National History Academy and had a long pen and inkstone. At that time, the imperial court discussed the establishment of a Jurchen Jinshi Department, and ordered that all matters should be decided by Yi Ji Lu. This is how disciples came to be.
A group of Jurchen scholars led by Shan Yi emerged in the political arena of Dajin.
Later, he was transferred to Hanlin and served as a writer, editor, minister, minister, minister, wailang, etc. He has always been Tu Shanyi's superior.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Yi Lalu passed away. Yi La Chucai moved to Yizhou with his mother Yang to study. Later, during the Taihe period, he participated in the imperial examination, was recruited and awarded the post of commission, and served as a magistrate of Kaizhou for a while.
In the third year of Da'an, his disciple Shan Yi entered the court and served as Minister Youcheng. He assassinated Chu Cai and then went to Beijing to follow him. His disciple Shan Yi originally planned to use him. Unexpectedly, in the second year, something happened: the Khitan people moved Liu Ge and gathered a crowd to rebel.
He captured Tokyo, defeated the punitive troops sent by the imperial court several times, and conquered all lands in Liaodong. At the beginning of this year, he regained his surname Yelu and was called the King of Liao, establishing the Yuan Dynasty.
After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, it was very wary of the Khitan remnants, so it changed all the clan surnames of the Liao Dynasty Yelu to "Yila", "Yila", "Yila" and other derogatory names. However, when the power of the Jin Dynasty declined slightly,
, the Liao clan immediately rose up for restoration. How did the imperial court treat these many people with transferred surnames? How could they not be vigilant?
Tu Shanyi was also soft-bodied and not pushy, so the matter of recommending the assassination of Chu Cai was postponed.
A few months ago, Guo Ning broke into Zhongdu. Tu Shanyi regarded him as a vicious tiger and thought he could be used urgently, so he reached a cooperation with Guo Ning. However, he was worried about Guo Ning's unruliness, so he ordered Chu Cai to go to Anzhou.
It not only serves as a link for cooperation between the two parties, but also serves as an iron chain to control the evil tiger.
When Yi La Chucai arrived at the Xijunhe camp, Guo Ning was taking a break from military affairs and took advantage of his free time to read some miscellaneous books. After all, he had to teach his followers every day, so he had to make the necessary supplies for himself.
Suddenly seeing Yizai Chucai, Guo Ning only remembered that this was the scholar in Zhongdu who had competed with him to protect the child, and immediately asked him what his purpose was.
Yi La Chucai was not in a hurry to explain his identity. Instead, he discussed a few miscellaneous topics with Guo Ning first.
Since Guo Ning had that big dream, he has gained a lot of strange knowledge out of thin air. But in this world, he is only a warrior after all, and he has lacked edification since he was a child.
It is really difficult to combine these knowledge into a system and corroborate it with contemporary scholarship, so as to be able to promote it.
This is not something that can be solved in a short while. In the Xijunhe camp, there are many crude men who can wield swords and kill people without blinking an eye, but there is only one scholar, Du Shisheng.
Du Shisheng is a person with a crooked skill tree. His main abilities are in calculation of spells and connections in Zhongdu. Even when he was prosperous, he was only a famous scholar, not a great scholar.
At this time, a scholar suddenly came to visit again...
Guo Ning never expected that the scholar he met casually in Zhongdu would be so powerful.
After having a casual chat with the scholar, he suddenly understood many of the previously difficult and even difficult-to-justify explanations.
Guo Ning couldn't help but be overjoyed.
And in Yizai Chucai's heart, he was even more horrified.
He is a person who is willing to do practical things, and there is no hindrance if he is not allowed to be an official for a while. Since Tu Shanyi wants him to lead and restrain Guo Ning, he knows that this is related to the major events in the future, so he will definitely do it in a down-to-earth manner.
Therefore, when the troops from Chu were preparing to come to feed Junhe camp, they made a detailed inquiry into the background of Guo Ning in Changzhou.
He witnessed with his own eyes Guo Ning in Zhongdu, killing the troops of the armed guards, and setting fire to the imperial city. Needless to say, there is no need to talk about that. Before the chaos that burned the imperial city in Zhongdu, there was a lot about Guo Ning of Changzhou.
rumor.
For example, Zuo Cheng Wan Yan Gang's confidant Chi Zhan rebelled, the Anzhou capital commander Xiao Hao and Hu Du died in the hands of Guo Ning, and the right deputy marshal Hu Shahu also suffered a big loss from Guo Ning. Therefore, he knew full well when he moved to assassinate Chu Cai.
, although this Guo Ning is not very old, he is bold, dark-hearted, ruthless, and he is a vicious tiger.
But if he carefully judged Guo Ning's actions, he felt that this Guo Ning was not only bold, but also had a dark heart and ruthless tactics.
Everything he does seems to be unscrupulous, but in fact, there are real benefits on the other side of everything.
Killing Xiao Haohu won him the reputation of gathering the defeated troops of the three states; defeating Hu Shahu brought him into contact with the big men in Zhuozhou, Yizhou and other places, and he also cooperated with Anzhou governor Tu Shanhang;
The apostle Shan Youcheng had no doubts about his courage to fight to the death with Wanyan Gang and Hu Shahu to protect his territory.
Even when it came to burning down the imperial city of Zhongdu, what was the actual significance of Guo Ning's actions? He didn't understand it for a while, but when it came to Tu Dan Youcheng, it was confirmed that if anything happened,
This Guo Ning acts without scruples and is really useful!
Yi La Chucai has considered these things before and after, and always feels that this control is very precise. It is not something that a mere frontier army can do. There must be an expert behind Guo Ning to guide him, such as Du Shisheng, or someone else.
other people.
I am not sure who it is that moved Chu Cai.
But now the situation in the court is turbulent. In addition to the two prime ministers Wanyan Gang and Tu Danyi, there is also a vague resurgence of the remnant party of Xu Zhiguo... Could it be said that this Guo Ning was introduced by the remnant party of Xu Zhiguo to disrupt the situation?
tool?
Probably!
That's why Du Shisheng rushed forward and backward for this warrior!
Yila Chucai is a very smart person. Since he is smart, he can't help but think more.
Although there is no real evidence for many of the speculations, and it is difficult to make it clear to Prime Minister Shan Shan, when he came to feed Junhe camp, he was really mentally prepared to find out who actually controlled this force.
As a result, after chatting with Guo Ning for a few words, all the previous speculations disappeared.
Guo Ning in the military camp was not as aggressive and ferocious as he was in Zhongdu. Instead, he showed a calm demeanor.
And in the process of talking with Yi La Chu Cai, he could casually tell a lot of extensive knowledge, which was actually something Yi La Chu Cai had never heard of!
Yili Chucai was a well-educated and talented person. He had read a lot of books since he was a child, not only Confucian classics, but also dabbled in astronomy, geography, laws, calendars, numerology, Buddhism, medical divination, etc. Otherwise, he just relied on
The shadow of my father's generation will not be valued by the head of Confucian officials like Tu Shanyi.
If purely based on knowledge, no one, not even Tu Shanyi himself or even the Confucian scholars in the court, could outdo Chu Cai. But this Guo Ning...
It is true that Guo Ning has not read books seriously. As soon as he tried to use Chu materials, he will know that his words are inevitably crude and cannot be deceived by others.
But when he talked about it with great interest, all kinds of unheard of knowledge seemed to come at his fingertips. Most of the content he only mentioned casually, and it was obvious that he only scratched the surface.
Guo Ning said that he had forgotten many things about Chu Cai and his successors.
The problem is, even those claws and claws are unique and attractive enough!
For a moment, Yizai Chucai was engrossed in the conversation. The ideas that Guo Ning threw out were clearly filling his brain to the point of explosion, and he kept talking with all his energy.
Occasionally there was a slight gap, and he only thought of:
How could such a character stop being a reckless hero? How could he be easily manipulated by others?
Is such a person a gift from heaven?
Hey, the Great Jin Dynasty was not like this. A mere frontier army was given the gift of heaven.
Yi La Chucai subconsciously cursed himself for being ridiculous, wishing he could immediately straighten himself out and put on the posture he should have as an "iron chain".
But when he was in his early twenties, when his thirst for knowledge was strong, he suddenly came into contact with a new system of knowledge, how could he let it go?
He kept talking until it was getting late, and then he realized that his mouth was dry and his mouth was about to burst into flames.
At this time, Guo Ning asked him what his name was and what he was doing here.
Yi La Chucai briefly introduced his identity, saying that he was sent by Prime Minister Shan to assist.
At this time, his thoughts were very different from those before. He did not simply regard Guo Ning as a martial artist, so he spoke very modestly.
After hearing his self-introduction, Guo Ning laughed out loud, saying that he had finally met an extraordinary person, and insisted on calling him "respected brother" because Yili Chucai was older.
Yizai Chucai thought to himself that although he was the son of the previous prime minister and the guest of the current prime minister, he had not yet established his achievements, so he definitely did not dare to be called an extraordinary person. However, he also experienced Guo Ning's generous fists, and now he invited Guo Ning to
Commensurate with the size of the font and don't show off.
In the following months, many of Guo Ning's affairs in the Xijunhe camp were increasingly transferred to the hands of Yili Chucai, which was the duty of military advisors.
Both of them were busy and could not always find time to talk in depth. But if Guo Ning had any inquiries, he would never hide his secrets from others; and he would come uninvited and discuss them with the young servants. Guo Ning
Also always welcome.
However, the questions Guo Ning asked at this time were different from the usual ones. There was a vague meaning of taking a test, and there was also some probing.
Chu Cai thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Guo Langjun, what you are asking is of course not how you see the small village in front of you, but how you see the Zhongdu Chaotang."
Guo Ning held up his palms and smiled and said: "That's natural. Jin Qing is very knowledgeable. Please tell me quickly."
