Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2526 Laozi, son, grandson

  Wuguan.

  Mountain Road.

  Zhuge Jin stood at the small pavilion by the road, looking into the distance.

  The mountains are overlapping, and the bleakness of autumn and winter makes the surrounding area feel inexplicable solemnity.

  The high and low peaks and valleys are like dividing the earth into grids. The world is like a chess game, criss-crossing the mountains and seas.

  Although the duties given by the Hussar General seemed easy to say, Zhuge Jin did not dare to relax at all.

  The Hussar General is laying out a big chess game, and Zhuge Jin is a **** in this chess game that criss-crosses heaven and earth.

  Pang Shanmin is another pawn.

  Out of Wuguan, it was the mountain road that Liu Bang was able to enter the pass.

   Rugged and difficult.

  Xiang Yu is different from Liu Bang. He has many soldiers and cannot be separated, so he cannot go to Wuguan. Xiang Yu has people, but he is difficult to use. He ran away from Han Xin, and Fan Zeng was mad at him, but Liu Bang can use people, even reuse them, and entrust his life to the kind. There are many factors, but the different origins of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang may determine all of this.

  Wuguan Road leads to Jingzhou.

  Jingzhou can be regarded as the south of the Han Dynasty.

   After all, in this era, Nanyue is a barbarian.

  Jingzhou is a good place, Zhuge Jin stayed there. The land there is fertile, the fields are criss-crossed, the flowers and trees are gradually proliferating, and the streams and rivers flow quietly to the east and south, until they finally merge into the famous Daze and then enter the big river.

  Jingzhou is like a transition between mountains and waters, and Xiangyang is between mountains and rivers. Back then, Liu Jingsheng was famous all over the world, and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were a little cautious about wearing a hundred thousand armor.

  However, Liu Jingsheng is like Xiang Yu.

  Xiong City of Xiangyang is located between mountains and rivers, on the north-south road. Although the terrain is not dangerous, it is in a very critical traffic artery.

  However, such a city was easily abandoned in the end.

   Not long after Liu Jingsheng died.

  Zhuge Jin sighed slightly.

  Heroes in the world are like this, but whiteheads are like this in the world.

   Gentlemen, what is a clan?

  Scholar, who is he?

   Can Liu Biao be called a clan? Is Liu Cong the son of man?

  Nanyang, Jizhou, Yuzhou and other high surnamed families have tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless wealth. What can really make these families last forever is the emphasis on education.

  These families pay attention to education and inheritance, with three or four hundred years of brilliance, I don’t know how many famous people they have produced. Not to mention how many officials of the Han Dynasty, Sangong, Jiuqing, Taishou, etc., are all these people, and they can only be these people.

  So, corrupted.

   It's like Liu Biao and Liu Cong.

  『It’s all over. 』

  Recalling the days in Jingzhou, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but feel as if he had been separated from another world. Now he and those gentry children in Jingzhou have already belonged to two worlds, so he is naturally qualified to feel this way.

Because when Zhuge Jin was in Jingzhou, he felt the arrogance of the children of Jingzhou gentry, so he felt that Jingzhou was not a good place, but he couldn't tell what was bad at that time, but he felt that something was missing until he waited. He arrived in Chang'an.

  Then Zhuge Jin found what Jingzhou lacked, what Liu Biao never had, and what Liu Cong lost in Hushi General...

  thing is a very interesting word.

   not only refers to the direction, but also refers to people or things.

  It can be real, it can be just virtual, it can even be a little love between men and women.

   It's like Qinglong Temple.

   Qinglong Temple can be a place, or a code name, or a word spoken by Zheng Xuan and others, or it can be the connotation that General Hushi wants to promote...

  Xiang Yu has accumulated a lot and is hard to return, looking forward and backward, hesitating, but Liu Bang went into battle lightly, found another way, and knew people and used them well.

  So Xiang Yu lost and Liu Bang won.

  And what about the current White Tiger Temple and Qinglong Temple?

  Mountain mist blows past, takes Zhuge Jin's Lunjinbo belt, and then shakes the treetops and shrubs in the mountains, hee hee hee, brushing, swishing...

  『Zhuge is engaged! Here they come! 』

  The follower who was in charge of watching from a distance shouted loudly.

  …(^o^)/…

  Lishan.

  In the astronomical and calendar research observatory that has not appeared for a long time, the atmosphere seems to be a bit depressed.

  These young students, who were supposed to be busy with calculations and observations, are now either sitting in the banquet hall or leaning against the wall, with a little uneasiness and worry on their faces.

   Even a little panic.

   Inexplicable fear.

  The students in the observatory are not all the children of noble family names, some are, but most of them are ordinary people with lower backgrounds. Some of them were brought by Xu Yue, some were invited by Xu Yue later, and some were recruited by Fei in the past few years from the Sanfuhe River in Guanzhong, who are proficient in arithmetic.

   Calculate the scriptures, like the son of the scriptures. So much so that those who study scriptures look at those who specialize in arithmetic, just like a father looks at his son. As for the more professional astronomy and calendar in arithmetic, it is like Sun Tzu.

Therefore, there is such an observatory, which can let these students who have no interest in the scriptures, but only like mathematics and calculations, show their skills. They don’t have to force their faces to engage in scriptures, and then they have to approve a lot of essays every day. It is already a very difficult thing to have to usher in the life of the hard-pressed civil servants sent to him.

  These students are also very clear that they can have good conditions and treatment in the observatory because of the relationship between Xu Yue and Hushi General Fei Qian. As long as Xu Yue was around, no matter whether it was the ordinary officials in Chang'an City or the so-called gentry who passed on the scriptures, they would not dare to bully them.

  Now, they are in big trouble.

   Xu Yue is ill.

  The people from Chang'an Baiyi Hospital came, then shook their heads and left.

   It's not that Xu Yue's medicine stone is hard to save, but the people of Baiyi Museum said that this is a heart disease and has nothing to do with the medicine stone. If the heart disease goes away, it will be cured without medicine, but if the heart disease is hard to get rid of...

  Physician at Hundred Medical Center prescribed a warm and nourishing prescription, then left with a sigh.

The students in the observatory became a little terrified. Two or three of them stared at the apprentices of Xu Yue sitting in front of the hall, and couldn't help showing some resentment, thinking that it was probably you guys The guy made some troubles, which made everyone in Xu have a heart attack!

   If there is something wrong with everyone Xu, I am afraid that life will be difficult for this observatory!

Suddenly there was some movement at the foot of the mountain, and after a while, Kan Ze rushed up from the mountain path. After entering the star observatory, he didn't even wait for his breath, so he asked Xu Yue where he was, and what else was there? the condition of his body.

Kan Ze was originally a disciple who studied with Xu Yue earlier, and Xu Yue also vaguely regarded Kan Ze as his successor, so when Kan Ze came, everyone in the observatory seemed to have found the core , came forward to greet them one after another, but Kan Ze was not in the mood to exchange greetings at all. He probably made a circle and bowed before entering Xu Yue's courtyard.

   After a while, Kan Ze withdrew helplessly, then stood outside the courtyard in silence for a while, then turned around and asked the student next to him, "What did Master do before he was sick?" 』

Here in Lishan, Xu Yue is like a mainstay, just like the head of the family, and Kan Ze is his closest disciple, so the students on the side did not dare to neglect, and hurried forward and whispered, " Everyone Xu was preparing for watching the stars and fixing the moon...』

   "Watching the stars and fixing the moon..." Kan Ze murmured and repeated, frowning.

   Observing celestial bodies is something that almost everyone on the observatory will do. Moreover, there was no serious pollution in the Han Dynasty, and the air quality was much better than that of the later generations. On a clear night, you can see a large number of stars, which are so dazzling that the later generations cannot imagine.

Under the attraction of such stars, the reverie about the distant sky has become the observation, calculation, estimation, and verification of generations like Liu Hong, Xu Yue, and Kan Ze. Only then did the moon phase calendar come into being. . Especially Xu Yue, he persisted in observation for a long time, day after day, year after year, devoted himself to research, and carefully calculated and calculated the calendar phenomena such as obscurity, new moon, string, hope, and eclipse of the sun and the moon. appearance of the calendar.

   And this can make Xu Yue sick, or in other words, have a heart disease?

Kan Ze recalled the situation when he entered the courtyard to visit Xu Yue, and always felt that something was wrong, because even if Xu Yue was really sick, if Xu Yue saw Kan Ze coming, as long as he was conscious, he would definitely be able to say a few words , and Xu Yue was obviously not in a coma at the moment, but he didn't react at all when he saw Kan Ze, just like...

   Desperate.

"Follow what the master ordered before, and disperse separately. What needs to be recorded is still recorded, and what needs to be calculated is to be calculated. There is no need to wait around here..." Kan Ze looked worried at the surroundings of Xu Yue's small courtyard, Those students who had no intention of doing things directly ordered, "Everyone do things!" If the master is ready in two days, what should I do if you are missing the affairs at hand? 』

  Seeing Kan Ze speak, the students around thought it was the same reason, so they retreated with some worries.

   Kan Ze re-entered Xu Yue's courtyard, and he wanted to find out the "truth".

  Kan Ze knew that Xu Yue had the habit of keeping notes, or called a diary.

  This habit is common to most astronomers. They will record some relevant information after observation to facilitate their own calculations.

  Because Kan Ze is Xu Yue's true disciple and a real-time official under the Hussar General, no one dares to stop him from reading Xu Yue's diary...

   Looking through the records, Kan Ze's face gradually turned pale.

  …（｀へ）…

  The current Han Dynasty, the peak of literature, and a figure of masters and scholars, Zheng Xuan is naturally one of them.

   There are very few left.

  Strictly speaking, Mr. Shui Jing is not at the level of a master, but Mr. Shui Jing's interpersonal communication is at the level of a master...

  At present, the only ones who can compete with Zheng Xuan are Cai Yan, the successor of Cai Yong, and Pang Shanmin, the son of King Pang De of Jingzhou.

  Cai Yan’s temperament is relatively weak. Although he is full of talent, he doesn’t like to argue with others. Most of the time, he says “you are right”. When there is time to argue, it is better to read two more books...

  So it can only be Pang Shanmin, and only Pang Shanmin.

  Pang Degong, like Huang Chengyan, is a slightly "rebellious" Confucian scholar.

Therefore, Pang Shanmin also inherited some of Pang Degong's "rebellion". Wearing a worn-out robe, he didn't even have a sachet or jade pendant that represented a "gentleman". It looks like a prefect.

  If it weren't for the accompanying officials and guards to identify their identities, who would know that the man in the old clothes is Pang Shanmin, the prefect of Wancheng?

  Pang Shanmin's clothes are very ordinary, but his speech is very unusual, and Zhuge Jin was startled when he opened his mouth.

  『Hussars are wrong. 』

"what? (*Д*)! ’ Zhuge Jin’s eyes widened.

  『It is true that Zheng Gong has read the classics well, and his intensive study is also superb. There is no doubt about this. However, if it is about the way of governing the country, can you govern the country only by being good at academics? The General Hussars did a good job before, but why did he forget this when he arrived at Qinglong Temple? Studying academics and governing the country are both "governance", but there are many differences. 』

  Pang Shanmin smiled, "This is what my father said. 』

  Zhuge Jin gasped, "Oh..."

  『But I think so too. ’ Pang Shanmin said again.

"what? ! 』Zhuge Jin raised his heart that had just let go.

  『Well, it looks like none of you dare to speak out? 』Pang Shanmin went straight for three goals.

  Zhuge Jin was sweating, "This, indeed not. It's Jin's fault. 』

Pang Shanmin did not continue to ask this question. While walking to Wuguan with Zhuge, he changed the topic calmly and naturally, perfectly showing the demeanor and demeanor of a refined scholar. He did not continue to ask about matters related to Qinglong Temple. Jin talked about some old things in Jingzhou, and also asked about the current situation of Huang Chengyan and Pang Tong.

After passing Wuguan and entering Guanzhong, Pang Shanmin didn't talk much, but concentrated on watching the situation in Guanzhong, the village, the road, the bridge, and everything around him. Careful, so careful that even Zhuge Jin couldn't bear to disturb him.

  …(*^__^*)…

  The turmoil of Qinglong Temple was uncertain, but it did not affect the Sima Manor outside Chang'an City.

  Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, has been a little ill these days, so he didn't go to Qinglong Temple.

This is normal.

  After all, Sima Hui is not young anymore. Although it is said that there may not be serious illnesses, it is not normal for minor illnesses to occur.

  Even Sima Yi asked for leave and returned to the manor to take care of Sima Hui.

  Now, Sima Hui is wearing a big cloak, lighting a few candles, and looking at something.

  These are newsletters related to Qinglong Temple.

  Walk together, is enemy.

  Walk together for a long time, and become enemies for thousands of years.

  Even with a smile on the lips, there is something numb in the heart.

   It's like Sima Hui and Zheng Xuan. Don't look at Sima Hui's everything is good now, smiling as if he and Zheng Xuan can wear a pair of pants, um, a robe, but in fact, Sima Hui hopes that the seat under Zheng Xuan's buttocks will be his turn sit.

Sima Yi walked in, holding a pot of hot water in his hand, then put it down in front of Sima Hui, wrung out a hot towel and handed it to Sima Hui, "Uncle, take a break, you've been looking at it for an hour... 』

   These things can be done by servants, but Sima Yi didn't.

   It's not to show my filial piety, but some things are not suitable for too many people to know.

Sima Hui put down the record in his hand, took the towel that Sima Yi had ironed by himself, then raised his head, covered the hot towel on his face, and then remained silent without saying a word, waiting for the scalding heat in the towel to seep into his tired pores .

  Sima Hui is also getting old. When a person gets old, his eyesight will blur and it will be even harder to see things. So you need a hot compress from time to time to boost your spirits and soothe your eyebrows.

  Sima Yi slowly sat aside, waiting in silence, without a trace of dissatisfaction.

  Mr. Shui Jing waited for the heat to cool down, and then began to scrub his old face carefully. After wiping with the still warm towel, the wrinkles on his face became deeper.

  『Hoo…』

  Sima Hui let out a slow breath.

  『I got the news that the son of Duke Pang is here...』 Sima Yi said slowly.

  Sima Hui nodded, "So, the hussars are still on guard..."

  Si Mayi was silent.

"why? ’ Sima Hui said slowly, ‘I would rather ask Pang’s than us? 』

  『…』Sima Yi said in a low voice, 「Hussars’ attitude has always been impartial…so…」

  『What is impartial? Aren’t they all from Jingxiang? ”Mr. Shui Jing said rather dissatisfied, “Don’t give me a chance…”

  Sima Yi glanced at Sima Hui, "Uncle, I'm afraid it's not because we didn't give it, but because we didn't take the initiative to go before, right?" 』

  Sima Hui was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent.

  Although Sima Hui said that he didn't take the initiative to make trouble for Zheng Xuan, but when he saw Zheng Xuan was in trouble, he definitely didn't help.

  So what Sima Yi said hit the nail on the head.

  『Uncle, a few days ago, a translation hall was set up in Baling Township... 』 Sima Yi said.

  Sima Hui nodded, "I know this. 』

  『Yesterday, Zhuanyixuan sent a survey... well, it means survey and discussion, and sent it to the Senate...for discussion by the Senate...』

  Sima Hui turned his head, "What did you say?" 』

  Sima Yi said: "Overview of the countries in the Western Regions..."

  Sima Hui frowned involuntarily.

  『Also... It is said that the next Qinglong Temple Great Discussion will discuss the Quartet of China...' Sima Yi continued.

  『I haven’t been out for the past few days, how can there be so many things? Huaxia Quartet? ’Mr. Shui Jing’s eyes widened involuntarily, ‘What’s the meaning of “four directions”? 』

  『North of the Northern Desert, extreme of ice cold, south of Nanyue, home of insects, east of the East China Sea, place of fairy mountains, west of the Western Regions, land of Hu Fan! 』

  Sima Hui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then couldn't help but sigh: "This... This is because I underestimated the hussars..."

  The two were silent for a long time again.

  So much so that the hot water in the copper basin gradually lost its temperature.

  『Hussars, they are still Hussars... 』Sima Hui sighed lightly, 『The name the old man gave him is really not wrong at all...All right, let's rest earlier, tomorrow...tomorrow I will go to Qinglong Temple! 』

Sima Hui stood up, with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the back hall, shaking his head and saying, "Since there are four directions in China, there is no need to stick to the length of the dispute here... Hussars, ha ha, ha ha, Hussars are really good!" Good means... good means...』
