Chapter 866
The arrival of Li Guang and Cheng Bushi didn't bother them too much in pursuit.

Zhang Xuezhou cooperated honestly, while Li Guang and Cheng Bushi, as generals guarding the border, were more interested in the matter of Shiwandashan instead of getting too entangled in the pursuit.

When Li Guang walked out of the window, Zhang Xuezhou breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Li Guang was not caught at the scene, things would not end tragically.

But Zhang Xuezhou could not help but grit his teeth with hatred.

His uncle was obviously not an economical person. He had almost calculated his mentality clearly, and he also deliberately mistold certain information and mixed it with truth.

This made Zhang Xuezhou make a mistake in judgment and healed the opponent dozens of seconds before Li Guang and others arrived.

At that time, Zhang Xuezhou was still a little surprised as to why the other party left after receiving a Taiqingzhen technique, but he woke up when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

"Soothsayers are the most annoying!"

He muttered something silently in his mind, but thinking that he was also studying physiognomy, Zhang Xuezhou quickly kept this sentence in his heart.

"Are those words he said considered advice?"

Inexplicably, there was an additional master uncle, and Zhang Xuezhou also received some warnings.

For Zhang Xuezhou, who always likes to borrow relationships, this is undoubtedly an extremely difficult suggestion to follow.

But Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that Hong Ku would not joke about some things, and it was unlikely that this uncle who suddenly appeared would play tricks on him with things that might or might not happen in the future.

"Li Guang, Tian Fu, Dong Zhongshu?"

The other party mentioned three names, but this does not mean that there is something wrong with these three people. It means that when you join forces with these people, you are likely to encounter attacks or suppression from others.

For example, those who have a close relationship with Dong Zhongshu will inevitably encounter suppression by Shen Peigong.

"Could something go wrong with Gongsun Hong?"

It is not difficult to verify the results. Not to mention the results of teaming up with Li Guang and Tian Fu, the results of teaming up with Dong Zhongshu can probably be seen at the moment.

Zhang Xuezhou thought that he might return to the real world today, and prepared to visit Gongsun Hong as the last thing.

Gongsun Hong personally sent Dong Zhongshu to him, and he was a Confucian elder who openly supported Dong Zhongshu.

Zhang Xuezhou also took this opportunity to take a look at the complex relationships between the Han Dynasty and the court, which might give him a more preliminary understanding.

After chatting with Rong Tianding for a while, Zhang Xuezhou had already left the guest house when the sky was dimming at five o'clock.

Gongsun Hong and Zhang Qian were not much different. They were among the people who were recommended in advance. Zhang Qian was due to an informal relationship, while Gongsun Hong was a virtuous person recommended by the Sichuan area.

At this time, Gongsun Hong was in the stage of waiting for an edict, and he could take office directly as long as he had a suitable official position.

There is no difference between the people who are waiting for the imperial edict and the disciples of the major aristocratic families. They all live in the talent house provided by the imperial court.

This kind of talent room is not as comfortable as a hotel, but the important thing is that it does not cost money, and there is daily food supply.

Zhang Xuezhou made a long circle, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that he found the residence Gongsun Hong mentioned when he was polite to them.

This is a row of low bungalows, very similar to the resettlement houses they lived in when they were hit by heavy rains.

"I really have nothing to do with Dong Zhongshu. I just saw him off when he left Chang'an City. How can you bully me?"

When he found the talent room where Gongsun Hong lived, Zhang Xuezhou only heard the sound of arguing, which made him stop. He just looked at the luxurious carriage in the distance and stood in the alley to listen.

"Shen Pei, you only came to the Confucian hall after Chao Cuo died, but you need to know that the most respected people in the Confucian school are Yuan Gu. He has also come to Chang'an City, as well as Taifu Han, Gao Tangsheng, Tian Sheng... "

"What kind of ecstasy have you poured into His Majesty to make me go to a place like the Evil Country to investigate and manage business?" "At my age, you still let me do such a thing, you are forcing me to die. !”

Voices of explanations and compromises continued to come, and there was also unwilling anger, and then they also tried to pull people into trouble, mentioning the pressure from many top Confucian scholars who occupied one side of the Confucian school.

Zhang Xuezhou stood outside the talent room and listened to Gongsun Hong's voice. He felt that he had almost a different look than when he was bidding farewell to Dong Zhongshu.

Although there may be reasons for being forced by the situation, or there may be other factors, these are obviously not the words of a true close friend.

Thinking of what the cheap uncle said that suddenly appeared, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic.

It may be normal for some people in the court to do one thing in person and do another in the opposite direction, and it may also be normal for an alliance formed yesterday to be betrayed by an ally today.

If you want to avoid this kind of thing, staying independent is the best option.

But those who remain independent will inevitably be alone and isolated.

Zhang Xuezhou was thoughtful and realized that clinging to the imperial court was not as simple as imagined.

The venerables and mages of Yizhe River Holy Land were fighting back and forth, and things were happening one after another. There were obviously more huge court battles, and it was very difficult to become a profiteer in it. It was not just about asking for a position. Can get benefits.

"Practice more in the art of calming people. When your skills improve, you will at least be able to know the good and bad of others!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Gong Sunhong only met once, and they had neither bad feelings nor good feelings. This was especially true for him towards Shen Peigong and others.

Hearing the scene of these people fighting and competing, he just used it as a learning experience.

The time for his arrival was perfect. If he visited early, he would attract unnecessary attention from the Confucian school. If he visited later, he would not be able to hear what Gongsun Hong said with his other face.

But Zhang Xuezhou is not afraid of anyone with two or even three faces.

People's hearts are hard to fathom, but the art of determining people can reveal clues.

As long as his level of determining people is high, Zhang Xuezhou will know who is good and who is bad, and who is doing things behind his back.

"Cousin?"

"Okay, let's..."

Zhang Xuezhou thought clearly and was about to go back, but he heard Gong Sunhong screaming in the courtyard that he wanted to face the saint.

"You are not the only one who is sending an envoy to the evil country. I heard that there are several envoys making preparations. For example, Zhang Qian, the captain who came from Yanmen Pass, will also lead the delegation. He lives only sixteen feet away from you. You can ask and verify it in person, you are considered a highly respected person in the Confucian school, so don’t let the juniors laugh at you!"

Shen Peigong's words completely stopped Gongsun Hong's thoughts.

Everything is afraid of comparison. If one person leads a group to an evil country, it will be a malicious attack. Gongsun Hong also has some methods to discredit Shen Peigong and others.

But when more and more people do this kind of thing, it becomes normal for him to send envoys to evil countries, and it is even difficult to refuse.

If he really pretends to be ill and doesn't mention it when he is punished, according to the words of the Confucian scholars, this will definitely make him infamous in the world, causing him to be despised by thousands of people, and even not be able to return to his hometown.

This is a conspiracy, he has to go even if he doesn't want to.

"If you manipulate the court to eliminate dissidents, you will not have good results!"

When Gongsun Hong cursed angrily, Shen Peigong had already strode out of the courtyard with several people and boarded the special carriage that represented his identity.

As the wheels rolled, Shen Peigong and others drove away, leaving only Gongsun Hong gnashing his teeth in the courtyard.
