Treasures are not a good thing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Especially when taking the emperor's treasures, these things are all rare treasures, and people can't put them down when they see them. However, for Yanbei, the actual use of these things is not as important as that of a samurai who obeys orders.
Whether it's a jade seal or a snake sword, it's all the same.
In fact, what was stored above the arsenal and could be damaged and transported to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo's army was the most important thing in the arsenal, which was enough to arm tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. As for valuable or practical things, Yan Bei also thought it through - they put up the first emperor like Liu Hong who moved all the valuable things in the palace treasury to the private treasury of Xiyuan, could Liu Hong leave them something?
Now, it's all Dong Zhuo's.
After coming out of the underground secret passage, Yanbei ordered someone to take a wooden box to seal Wang Mang's head, the snake sword, and the jade seal of the country, and left Tai Shi Ci to lead the two songs of people and horses in the arsenal to collect the treasures and maps of those vassal countries over the years, and ordered Jiang Jin to carry the wooden box and Zhao Yun to lead the two songs of people and horses to follow him to the Taimiao.
Yanbei, who has never been superstitious, has a little subtlety in his heart at this moment that there are gods in his head.
If it weren't for the providence of heaven in the underworld, why was Luoyang City burned, but the jade seal that fell in the well and the snake that was sealed in the ground were all obtained by him?
On the way to Taimiao, Jiang Jin pointed out to Yanbei the well where the jade seal was fished out, the dry bones and clothes outside the well had already been damaged by the rough actions of the soldiers, Yanbei took a look and ordered someone to dig a pit and bury the dry bones outside the city...... There was also a soldier who died in the well for only an hour, and he also ordered Jiang Jin to quietly return at night and find a courtyard in the city to bury him.
These two people are the meritorious benefactors of his Yan, and they will not end up in ruins.
In fact, Yan Bei can figure out how these treasures are obtained for him, which is both accidental and inevitable...... The corpse in the well has been rotting for more than a year, and a year ago it was the time when the scholars and eunuchs led by his cousin He Jin were fighting for power and profit, and it should be the official who held the seal that worried that the jade seal was obtained by the rebellious ministers and thieves who raised troops to wantonly slaughter the palace, so they threw the jade seal into the well.
It is easier to figure out the palace arsenal, and the secret passage under the palace arsenal knows that there are not too many people in the first place. After the death of the first emperor, followed by the death of the confidant military eunuch Jian Shuo, the eunuchs in the palace were slaughtered by the juniors, and the last few surviving people of the ten permanent servants fled to the edge of the Yellow River with the little emperor, and had to throw themselves into the river and die in the face of heavy pursuits.
The court was empty, and those who could enter and leave the arsenal at will, knowing that there was a secret room underneath, died in the battle. Later, Dong Zhuo, who was in charge of the power of the imperial court, came from Xiliang, where would he know about this kind of secret room.
It may not mean that he can accept it with peace of mind.
All the things that the Liu family inherited from him were obtained, isn't this the will of heaven in the dark? He was bent on attacking the west, and then he got these treasures.
Lu Zhi, who was guarding the Taimiao, was very surprised by the arrival of Yanbei, he and Chen Qun did not do anything, perhaps because the eunuchs who had been loyal to the imperial court for generations always had awe for the ancestors of the Liu family, and they did not even set foot on the pedestal of the Taimiao, but just knelt outside.
"Why did General Zhongqing come here?" Lu Zhi coughed lightly, although his face was full of red light, he was obviously more than capable of strength, and was about to stand up, Yan Bei hurriedly supported the old man who was about to die and said: "Mr. Zigan doesn't need to be polite, the arsenal was burned, leaving only a few broken swords and damaged swords in the ashes...... Zilong, you take people to the city to find wood, reeds on the banks of the Luo River, and rebuild the nine temples of the Son of Heaven. Let Xiahoulan send people to find the three animals, and tomorrow the gift of the ether prison will be sacrificed to heaven and earth. ”
"How's Mr. Zigan's health?" Yan Bei and Lu Zhi knelt together, and said slowly: "I sent someone to send a message to Kanto, and asked them to send the doctor over, and they will also take good care of Mr. ”
Lu Zhi waved his hand, shook his head and smiled. His body knew by himself that this was an old problem that had been left for more than ten years, how could it be cured by ordinary medical craftsmen, he just smiled, looked at Yan Bei and suddenly asked him to sit aside, and asked: "What is the old man going to do when he saw Zhong Qing's subordinates digging out the stone carvings in front of Taixue's gate?" ”
Yan Bei rarely felt embarrassed, this was asked by the main master. In addition to Cai Yong and others, Lu Zhi is also one of the great Confucians who made stone carvings. Yan Bei nodded and grinned: "I can't bear to see the treasures covered in dust, so I plan to transport the stone carvings back to Liaodong and stand in front of the academy." ”
Lu Zhi looked at Yanbei with complicated eyes for a moment, in his eyes, Yanbei was a genius...... Born as a slave and horse bandit, he was able to occupy the geographical advantage in a corner of Liaodong, and he was able to take advantage of the geographical advantages, and he snared Wang Lie, Bing Yuan, and Guan Ning's current giants.
"The old man heard that you want to make Liaodong have a strong style of learning?"
"Xunzi has a saying, people's nature is evil, and their good ones are hypocritical." Yanbei said to Lu Zhi: "If people are not civilized, they will be fierce and wild, and they should be killed wantonly." If you have the opportunity to learn in the early years, you may not follow the great sages and good teachers to rebel. Therefore, I want more people in my hometown to be educated, if everyone in the world can be educated, then the world can be stable! ”
"But Your Excellency still calls the horn a great sage and a good teacher." Lu Zhi looked at Yan Bei and smiled playfully, few people would blatantly talk about great sages and good teachers in front of him like Yan Bei, but Lu Zhi was at such an age now, he no longer cared about those things, he just asked Yan Bei: "What does the general want to do today?" ”
Hearing Lu Zhi ask, Chen Qun, who was sitting on the side, also came to his senses, leaned over slightly and made a deferential demeanor.
But just such a sentence stopped Yanbei.
What does he want to do in this world?
He wants to do what he wants!
It has nothing to do with this world, he wants to ask Dong, so he will pour the troops of Liaodong to the south; He wanted to protect the territory, so he opened a canal in Liaodong to divert water and open up wasteland for farming. He wanted the people behind him to be as loyal to him as ever, and he wanted that even the emperor couldn't control him.
He was not a general, and he never envied the fiercest warriors who were unstoppable on the battlefield. He was not a wise man in the world, and he did not think that his wit would bring him much happiness in the world.
It seems that this is too unpursued, but the generals of the world are unstoppable for him under his command; But the wise men of the world are plotting behind him.
"The world is not chaotic, Yan will be a rich man in Liaodong, enjoy thousands of hectares of fertile land, lead canals and build roads, worship famous scholars and Confucians, and promote education; Recruit strong men to sweep the east and attack the northern barbarians, which one stretched out his hand to my Han family, and chopped the dog's paws and drank wine...... After a hundred years, future generations can say that Yan is a good general. ”
Yan Bei pursed his lips with a smile, "When the battle is over, go back and get married and have children, name the doll "No Troubles and No Diseases", and teach him how to be a good person." ”
Lu Zhi frowned quietly, listening to Yan Bei's words, he didn't seem to have any ambition, it seemed that in addition to fighting the Dongyi Hu people in this life, he had only children and godsons, and he thought about the aftermath of his life clearly.
Chen Qun was younger, and he couldn't wait to arch his hand to Yan Bei and asked, "Dare to ask the general, what if the world is in chaos?" ”
"The world is in chaos? I don't want the world to be chaotic, I don't want to! ”
Yan Bei has spent a lot of effort, and he has worked hard to make today's achievements, if the world is not chaotic, how well he can live! That place in Liaodong is far away from the Central Plains, and the military wealth of a county has allowed him to govern far more than the Central Plains county that received the disaster of soldiers within a few years, which is enough for three generations of his Yan family to live the life of a human being, but if the world is in chaos?
In fact, he also knows that the world is already in chaos. But it is unimaginable that this man who once joined the rebellion twice kept thinking about the peace and tranquility of the past in his mind after the world was really in chaos.
The world is impermanent, and creation makes people. When the world is peaceful, he is a man under a man, and all the good things in the world seem to have nothing to do with him; And when he became a human being, the world was in chaos, and he was finally qualified to pursue the beauty in the world, but the beauty was gone.
"The year before last, the old man once rode a horse to chase the emperor to the bank of the Yellow River, do you know that the eunuch Zhang Rang threw himself into the river to die, and worshiped the emperor...... Counting the past is still vivid in the old man's mind. Thinking of that night of sword and fire, Lu Zhi slowly shook his head and said, "Zhang Rang told His Majesty that after they die, the world will be in chaos. Let the emperor do what he wants. ”
"The old man thought that the ambitious young men were doing the right thing, but now it seems that they are not necessarily doing the right thing." Lu Zhi said slowly: "The world is really in chaos, it's ridiculous to see the humerus of the court, but I can't see it as clearly as the eunuchs." ”
The eunuchs were extinct, and the scholars retreated from the martial arts and did not dare to strangle their soldiers. The young men who stormed the palace were living well with their prestige at that time, but what about the emperor?
The emperor didn't even have anyone around him who could be used, so he was left with great power...... Otherwise, kill Dong Zhuo's husband, and the three or five eunuchs will be recruited into the palace wall to slaughter him with a blade!
"Changwen, the old man knows that his time is running out, and he wants your help if he has something." Hearing Lu Zhi say this, Chen Qun was flattered and surrendered, and then he heard Lu Zhi say: "The old man has witnessed the rise and fall of thirty years, and wants to compile a book to warn future generations in the world. Would you like to work with the old man on this book? ”
Of course Chen Qun is willing, needless to say that this is Lu Zhi's request when he is about to die, just with Lu Zigan's talent and learning, he is already happy to be by his side.
"The elders are invited, and the group dare not resign!"
Yan Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, if Lu Zhi made up a book, it was conceivable that he himself would definitely be recorded in the book. And it is conceivable that after the southward expulsion, Lu Zhi will definitely write a lot of articles!
A team of elite Liaodong warriors began to build the most humble Taimiao in history with the logs and grass on their shoulders, and Yan Bei took the narrow wooden box from Jiang Jin and carried it on his shoulders, without saying anything to Lu Zhi and Chen Qun.
"Tonight, I will stay in the Taimiao and listen to the instructions of the ancestors of the Liu family. If the emperors of the past dynasties wanted Yan to go west, Yan led his troops to continue westward. Yan Bei carried the wooden box and said to the two: "If you don't entrust it tonight, you will lead the army back to Youzhou after the summer, and serve the Liu family for the rest of your life, protect the people, and beg for peace." ”
