Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2219 Difficulty in both places

  Zheng Xuan returned to his residence, sat down, and beat his old legs that were a little sore, his brows did not open. For Zheng Xuan, after his visit to the Hussar General's Mansion, he did not fully understand Fei Qian's intentions, but he generally understood that Fei Qian did not completely prohibit matters related to the Five Virtues, but wanted to improve and develop.

Huaxia has always had the habit of overcorrecting, just like Qin Shihuang just because he felt that he was deceived by those alchemists, and then decided to kill those alchemists. start expanding...

   One is prohibited on the top, ten is prohibited in the middle, and it becomes one hundred or even eleven thousand at the bottom. So Qin Shihuang burned the book, in fact, it was the book that burned alchemy at first, but other books also suffered disasters later.

Zheng Xuan is most worried about this kind of problem. Maybe Fei Qian is just trying to explain the absurdity and problems of the theory of reincarnation of five virtues, but for one purpose or another, the people below are just expanding their goals, and they may even ban the Book of Changes. .

   After all, holding chicken feathers as arrows is one of the things that low-level political officials like to do most.

When he learned that Fei Qian did not say that he would veto the entire Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and handed over the main control to Zheng Xuan and Sima Hui, Zheng Xuan was relieved, but he still had concerns. .

   After all, this improvement and development is not so easy.

  『Easy, Number…』

   Zheng Xuan looked up at the sky.

   Xi Ji stepped forward, took a tray, "Master, please drink tea..."

  『Mmm…』 Zheng Xuan took the tea bowl and held it in his hand, 『Hongyu, how about your calculations? 』

  Xi Li was stunned for a moment, "Analyses? I know a little bit... Why did the master ask this question? 』

  Zheng Xuan glanced at Xi Ji, knowing in his heart that what Xi Ji said was a little understanding, and it was not a kind of humility. After all, as a master, he still knows the situation of some disciples. When it comes to scriptures, then Xi Xi can be said to be better than most of the gentry children, but what about the scriptures?

   Zheng Xuan suddenly realized something and sighed.

  Xi Xi cautiously accompanied him, "I don't know, master...what's your order?" 』

  『Come, sit down. Zheng Xuan said, and then paused, "Hussars are not the five virtues, but the language of evil reincarnation..."

  『Oh…』 Xi Xi nodded, apparently feeling better.

Just as later generations often say that there is Yan Ruyu's golden house in the book, and then some children will actually go to the book to try to find Yan Ruyu and the golden house. Look for the so-called "small words and great righteousness" in Chenwei, and then quote them whether in daily debates or writing articles, and use this to prove that I have profound knowledge and profound insights...

Xiji is one of them. Of course, Xiji is not the only one who does this. But now he suddenly says that things like the five virtues and prophecies are fallacies, and they should be completely abolished, which will naturally arouse these people's worries and doubts. Some people went to Qinglong Temple to argue with Sima Yi, while others, such as Xi Xi, got some inside information from his master.

  『However... Hushi has something else to say...』 Zheng Xuan held the tea bowl and took a sip.

  Xi Ji blinked his eyes twice, reacted, and said tentatively, "Could it be that... the scriptures?" 』

   Zheng Xuan nodded slightly.

"what? ’ Xi Xun was stunned.

  It feels like I have memorized the formulas for many years, the changes of the big avalanche are memorized, and the calculations of the final official are very familiar, and then I suddenly heard that I will not play Go this time, but change to chess!

  This **** is really...

   Foul!

But Xi Ji never thought about it. He was born in an environment where he could study the scriptures as he wanted, and then took the things he was familiar with to compete with those who were struggling to learn. Is it another kind of foul? .

  『Analyses? ! The little official uses it... what do you want the hussars to do? 』Suanjing Xixi is really not that good. When I think about the scriptures that I have studied for most of my life, if I really want to fall in front of a Suanjing that day, where will I put my face!

Zheng Xuan is also not good at arithmetic. He basically annotates all kinds of scriptures, even the awkward and quaint I Ching and Shangshu, there is no problem, but if it is about arithmetic... then there are two words left, hehe .

  This idea of ​​Xiji is also the idea of ​​most of the gentry children in China. The purpose of studying scriptures is to become an official. Be a petty official of three or four hundred shi? Then, I would check with the farmers in the fields all day long whether there was less millet or wheat?

   It's not in the mainstream! Or strictly speaking, the scriptures are the mainstream, while the others are the twigs, which can only be icing on the cake, but it is difficult to glorify their ancestors.

Dahan is not like later generations, there are all walks of life, and many times they are subject to various restrictions, age restrictions, learning restrictions, etc., so that for ordinary people, being able to be proficient in a certain aspect is already very important. It's amazing, so when the nobles' children were young, they would choose scriptures for key study, because taking this path will have the highest return rate, and other...

  Learning music, how many Zhou Langs are there in the world?

  Learning astronomy, how many Xu Yues are there in the world?

  Learning any other subject, including arithmetic, is a huge investment, but the rewards are scarce. Only the scriptures, maybe with one or two lines of psalms that day, you can eat and drink, maybe you can be an official...

   No matter how proficient in music and music, no matter how clear the calculations are, at most it is like what Xi Xi said, just a small official!

   Zheng Xuan frowned slightly, noncommittal to Xi Xi's words.

Zheng Xuan was dubious about what Fei Qian said about inheriting the master's will and inheriting Liu Hong's inheritance, but one thing is certain, General Hussars must have his own considerations, and there are some things that Zheng Xuan will not say. What is considered are those aspects that Fei Qian did not mention.

   In a daze, Zheng Xuan suddenly thought of something, and then turned his head to stare at Xi Xi.

  Xi Ji was startled, shrank his neck, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master... what can I do with this, my disciple can help you?" 』

   Zheng Xuan said: "Just now you said that the little official..."

  『Uh…』 Xi Ji hesitated, 「Next… this…」

  Zheng Xuan nodded slowly, and sighed for a long time, "I see..."

"what? ha? 』If you don't understand, Xi Xi goes inside.

  Zheng Xuan looked left and right, and Chi Chi understood, and after leaving to attend to the servants, he sat next to Zheng Xuan again, and respectfully asked for advice.

  Zheng Xuan said slowly: "Originally, the old man was thinking too much, and didn't know the true meaning of Hussar... But, what you said made the old man feel a little bit..."

  『Master, could it be... a small official? ’ Xi Lu asked.

   Zheng Xuan nodded, "Exactly. Now hussars are clearing up corruption and eliminating officials...』

"Oh! Understood! Xi Xi nodded, suddenly realized, "Those who don't know the calculations naturally don't know the accounts, and it is difficult to clean up corruption... Huqi's move is because of this matter!" 』

  At the moment of the Han Dynasty, the layout of each county is basically the same. Officials are above the government orders and must be proficient in scriptures, while small officials are generally proficient in calculations and are responsible for the collection of various local taxes and materials...

   Of course, there are some people who are not bad in these two aspects, such as Xun You and others, but such elite talents are a minority after all.

"Besides..." Zheng Xuan nodded slightly, and then glanced at Xi Ji, "Most of the people who serve in the court today... may not be proficient in arithmetic, so... once the news of Huqi's promotion to the alma mater... this is a big family in the upper and lower rivers. , I lost my mind..."

  "This..." Xi Xi rolled his eyes, "This...really..."

  Many petty officials do not understand the scriptures, and the channels for climbing up are congested, so many times they become places of pursuit of personal pleasure and corruption.

In addition, small officials are not like officials in the court, they need to be deployed from different places, so it is easier to form local snakes in many cases, and then cause various problems. This opens up room for ordinary petty officials to be promoted, so some of these petty officials will naturally be unwilling to indulge in small profits for the sake of greater goals.

  At the same time, isn’t it just bullying some people who can’t understand the accounts? On the other hand, Hedong is a major grain-producing area, so it can be threatened to some extent. However, now that Fei Qian said to recalculate the scriptures, then naturally some small officials will abandon the original bond of interest in order to seize this opportunity...

Just think about it. Originally, he was just a small local official, at most he was in charge of a warehouse, and Cao Cao, a householder in the warehouse, was the top of the world. At most, he could be regarded as a small "official". It may have turned into a serious "official" who inspects various places!

  From official to official!

   It's like reaching the sky in one step!

  Hedong gentry, no, the world's gentry, can you stop it?

  Whoever opposes it will be in trouble with these petty officials under him!

   Thinking of this, Xi Ji couldn't help shivering.

"In this way... Isn't it, isn't it... This, this, this move..." Xi Xi's eyes widened, and he chatted, as if he had a lot of meanings to express, but in the end it turned into a sentence, "This, in the future... it will become more and more difficult to become an official?" ! 』

  Zheng Xuan took a long breath, sighed and said, "Oh...it's hard to be an official...it's also difficult to be an official...this hussar...hussar...hey! Hongyu, if you have spare time, you might as well read more of the Sutras...』

  Xi Lisheng lowered his head resignedly, "Disciple, disciple obeys..."

   Zheng Xuan nodded and said, "Hey, it's a pity that Zi Ni is not here, otherwise his calculations..."

   Xi Ji: "..."

  ... (⊙_⊙;)...

  Brother Zhu remembers that there were many cases in Chang'an Lecture Hall.

   There is even one about Fei Qian himself.

   This made Brother Pig very memorable...

After all, those who have some status are reluctant to let others know some things about them before they made a fortune, even very taboo about it, but Fei Qian generously recorded those things he experienced in the lecture hall In it, it is provided for others to study.

  Of course, this also saves other people some embarrassment, after all, not all cases are successful...

  Brother Zhu knew Fei Qian's intention of taking him to the martial arts hall.

Because some, even many young people always look down on this and that, most of them think that they are the best, and when they see others make mistakes, they either get angry or laugh, Shouting, "Need to be wise!" Such a clumsy strategy, how can we not know it? 』

   So Fei Qian took him to the martial arts hall, just to let him see clearly, maybe the fire at Hangu Pass was bigger, maybe the battle axes of the Xianbei people were a little bit more deflected, maybe there would be no hussars in this world.

  Of course it can also be said that it is luck or something, but if everything is done, it depends on luck...

  It's like Zhuge Liang now, he feels that he can't entrust everything to his luck. In other words, I believe that I will turn bad luck into good fortune, but I should have considered where the danger is and how to avoid it from the very beginning.

  The danger in Hanzhong does not lie in things, but in people.

   Or a tiger.

   Crouching Tiger, Zhang Ze.

  The tiger is lying in the grass, one is full, or it is ready to hunt.

  When the hussars marched into Hanzhong, because they needed to further march into Sichuan and Shu, for the Hanzhong area, they adopted a strategy of reusing the locals and focusing on appeasement. Obviously, this strategy did achieve good results at the time, not only making Sichuan and Shu further included in the territory of Huqi, but also supporting Guanzhong through the initial difficult period.

  But like most temporary policies, there are certain sequelae. Now in Hanzhong, this strategy of reusing local people is slowly showing disadvantages.

  The old problem of local snakes.

   This problem was a lot during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, and then it was infected in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Maybe it will continue to be infected, until later generations coax you to drink, what to do with your milk...

  Infectious diseases are not easy to cure. Especially people like Zhang Ze, who have been infected for a long time, and don't even feel that it is him who is sick, but someone else.

  So, Zhang Ze wanted to treat Zhuge Liang.

  The prescription is naturally indispensable for gold and silver treasures, singers and dancers.

  Because Zhuge Liang is young, young man, who doesn’t like rich and beautiful women? Thinking back then, Zhang Ze himself had a hard time climbing out of the pit of gentleness. Now that he thinks about it, he naturally feels that he can cheat Brother Zhu without discussing it.

  After Zhuge Liang arrived in Hanzhong, Zhang Ze used the name of hospitality to lure and infect Zhuge Liang with various overt and secret benefits on the one hand, and on the other hand dragged Zhuge Liang to prevent him from going to other places when he had time.

It's just that, it's a pity that although Zhuge Liang's name is similar to Brother Zhu, he is not Brother Zhu. Therefore, for Zhang Ze's solicitation and bribery, and even some arrangements similar to house arrest, he instinctively felt disgusted and sensed the danger. Thinking of what happened to General Hussars in the lecture hall, Zhuge Liang made a decision...

  『Servant...』 Before dawn, Zhuge Liang’s confidant guard looked around and quietly went to the window and whispered, "Everything is ready..."

  Amidst the crackling sound of the lintel hinge, Zhuge Liang pushed open a gap, "Got it, wait a moment..."

   After a while, Zhuge Liang pushed open the window, turned out of the window, and said, "Go!" 』

  In the early morning mist, Zhuge Liang walked through the small courtyard, walked through the corridor, and then went straight to the backyard. At this time, some servants who got up early noticed the fireworks coming from Zhuge Liang's room, and they shouted, causing a commotion immediately!

  『It’s out of water! It's gone! 』

   There was chaos in the courtyard!

  Zhuge Liang looked back, then lowered his head and ran directly under the courtyard wall, and then with the help of his confidant guards, he climbed out of the wall.

Outside the courtyard wall, several other guards were already waiting, they stepped forward to pick up Zhuge Liang, and then greeted the person behind them, put away the climbing claws and ropes, and looked left and right to see if there were any in the back alley. To attract anyone's attention, it is to surround Zhuge Liang and go straight to the city gate along the alley, and then go straight out of the city as soon as the Fangmen gate opens...

But Zhang in the city received a report that Zhuge Liang was missing after the flames were extinguished after he woke up, and some of Zhuge Liang's guards were also missing. Search around, but where can I find it?

   Zhuge Liang's sudden fire escape disrupted Zhang Ze's arrangement.

  Zhang did not expect that this young man who seemed to be slow in doing things and speaking would make such a decisive move in the blink of an eye!

  『Emissary! What should we do now? 』

   ran away, of course he wanted to catch him back.

  Even if it is caught across provinces...cough cough cough, if you can't catch it anyway, you can't let it go back alive!

  Zhang frowned in thought. Returning from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, there are now two main roads, one is the one that Zhuge Liang entered Hanzhong, and it is also a ramp that has been continuously opened and repaired. The other one is through Tangluo Road. The ramp is relatively easy to walk, while the Tangluo Road is relatively difficult because of the large amount of work involved in opening mountains and building bridges.

  As for the Meridian Valley, firstly, it rains frequently in spring, and secondly, it is too rugged and not repaired, and most people will not walk these roads.

  Of course, it is also possible to bypass Yangping Pass, but Yangping Pass is a pass after all, and it is too far to bypass Longyou, so Zhang Ze slapped his hands, "Come on!" Quickly rush to the inclined road and Tangluo Road, if you see him, you will be arrested on the spot! If there is any disobedience, it will be killed in the name of treason! 』

   Zhang Ze's confidant was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Ze, "Come back! Almost forgot, the road to Shangyong is also sent to pursue! 』

  Before Huang Cheng was training soldiers in Shangyong, although Zhang Ze wanted to replace them, but it was not so easy to find any reasons and reasons, so he could only move slowly, so there are still many soldiers and lieutenants from the past...

  『Follow the order! Zhang Ze's confidant left in a hurry.

  Zhang walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back, and then thought, "Wait, this...will it go south to Sichuan and Shu?" 』

  Zhang Ze subconsciously wanted to call someone again, but after thinking about it, he withdrew his outstretched hand again. Going to Sichuan and Sichuan is even more difficult than going back to Chang'an. Will Zhuge Liang go? Young man, didn't he go back to the adults after suffering a loss? And I can't make too much noise here, if I get restless...

   That is, if you really want to cover it up, you can't cover it up!

   Keeping an eye on two or three intersections is already the limit. If the other intersections in Hanzhong are also blocked, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

  Sichuan and Shu, two places in Guanzhong, and two places in Zhang Ze are in a dilemma, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that the possibility of Zhuge Liang escaping back to Guanzhong is still the greatest...
