Zheng Xuan was leaving, and the emperor sent three attendants to visit him in turn, but he still couldn't stop the old man's heart from wanting to leave Yedu. But Yanbei can't let him go, not to mention that the imperial court now has a big Si Nong, even if the big Si Nong can be done by another person, Zheng Xuan, a master of scripture and learning, must not be let go.

He encompassed the canons, synthesized hundreds of schools, and paid attention to the group scriptures, breaking the boundaries between modern and ancient texts, and achieving the integration and unity of scriptures. In terms of his achievements in scripture and learning, no one can compare with him in the first 200 years, and it is difficult for those who stand together in the world to say that his reputation as a scholar today is difficult to match.

Now that he holds the orthodox imperial power, if he can't keep such a sage and let him go to the rule of the princes of Henan, wouldn't it be a pearl to secretly invest?

In order to persuade Zheng Xuan not to leave Yedu, Yanbei bathed in incense in advance, dressed neatly, and was about to leave the Great Sima Mansion to meet Zheng Xuan at the post house at the other end of Yecheng, but saw the warriors outside the mansion rushing over, bowed down and said: "Lord, the Ma clan of Liangzhou came to pay tribute, and the two thousand soldiers and horses led by him have been camped in the village thirty miles from the capital!" ”

"Yanjun, how should this be? Why don't the old man go to see Kang Chenggong, and Yan Jun go to welcome Ma's? ”

Ma Teng is a prince in the end, and it is reasonable for Yanbei to ride outside the capital to greet him, and he himself should wait under the inner city, otherwise he will appear sluggish. Tian Feng thought in his heart, so he looked at Yanbei, but saw the young Da Sima waving his hand and walking towards the gate of the mansion with a smile, and said, "No need, come with me to the city gate to welcome Ma Shoucheng!" ”

"The herald city defense, all four gates are closed, whether it is the Ma family or the Zheng family, when they come to Yecheng, they will stay in peace!"

As he spoke, he had already assembled the guards outside the palace gate, turned over and stepped on the back of the mount brought by the samurai, and wanted to go to the south gate to meet Ma Teng. What else can Tian Feng say? Yan Bei's idea of ordering the four gates of the capital to be closed was something that he and his ministers could not come up with anyway.

At the same time, the attendants of the Great Sima Mansion have been connected to various places and sent invitations to various mansions, such as Wenhou and Fenwu General Lu Bu, Ye Wanghou and Zhaoyi General Yang Feng, Shehou and Jianyi General Zhang Yan, and Zuoxian Wang Liu Bao all received invitations, inviting them to come to the mansion today as guests and march to the dust-washing banquet of Ma Teng, the general of the West.

In addition to them, there are naturally Liu Ai, a servant in the palace, and Guangluxun Zhong Xuan, a close minister of the emperor, otherwise Yanbei will meet with the princes in the palace, and he will inevitably fall into the mouth.

Yanbei is nothing else, just to let Ma Teng see, although these princes from all walks of life in the past have lost their authority after joining the imperial court, they have only received a lot more respect in addition to military power.

is a very popular minister, in today's imperial capital Yecheng, for the princes of the Quartet, it is as simple as attaching it.

West.

Zheng Xue's disciple Zhao Shang looked for a car, and together with more than ten brothers who followed Zhiye, he moved Mr. Zheng Xuan's books to the car, and purchased a few horses, and when everything was ready, Zheng Xuan, who was found to take a lunch break in the house, did not dare to disturb, and stood respectfully for more than half an hour, only to see Zheng Xuan slowly wake up, and asked him, "What time is it?" ”

"Mr. Hui, it's just past noon. The students had already waited outside for the car, and after a tiring journey, the gentleman had a little food and was ready to go. ”

Zhao Shang was as respectful and close to Zheng Xuan as he was to an elderly father, and when he saw that Zheng Xuan was about to get up, he hurriedly stepped forward to help. Zheng Xue is the most important etiquette, which is inseparable from Zheng Xuan's own educational philosophy, what he values most is the principle of the monarch, the ministers, the father, and the son, so the lecture is also repeated to let the disciples remember that the etiquette cannot be transgressed. However, Zheng Xuan values respect for teachers and believes that disciples should respect teachers as much as they respect their fathers, but the same teachers should also educate their disciples as if they were children.

Zheng Xuan wanted to leave Yedu, although some of the reasons were due to the vacancy of the official position of Dasi Nong and the four walls of the treasury, but more because of his respect for Gang Chang Tianli. Now the warlords in various places are divided, and they do not respect the royal family, and even the emperor is also in Yedu, and it is under the control of Yanbei, the most powerful prince in the world. Zheng Xuan didn't know how long the emperor could last with such apparent peace and tranquility.

Although he was already dying, he had tens of thousands of disciples, and even if his fate was short, future students would still be able to use his political ideas to govern the place and assist the king.

"You don't have to eat, let's go."

With Zheng Xuan's approval, Zhao Shang immediately led all Zheng Xue's disciples to prepare the carriage and horses, and personally guarded the car in front of the frame, but just before leaving the alley of the courtyard, a cool breeze blew down the wooden window of the car, and listened to Zheng Xuan: "Stop." ”

"What's wrong, sir?"

Turning his head to look at the car, he saw Zheng Xuan raise his hand to stop him from speaking, his dry and wrinkled hand secretly pinched the wind direction and clouds for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "Go back, the wind is coming from the west, the four trees are prisoners, and you can't enter and exit the capital......"

Zheng Xuan studied under Ma Rong, not only has a deep knowledge of scriptures, but since the age of seventeen, he has been able to measure the breath of wind and clouds to divination, and is known as an alien in his hometown Gaomi.

At the same time as he said this, there were riders outside the twelve gates of Yedu shouting: "Pass the Great Sima Order, close the city gates, and you are not allowed to enter or exit!" ”

Outside the south gate, Yan Bei looked at Liangzhou riding, which was getting closer and closer, and bowed his head slightly, with a self-contained expression.

Is there anything in the world that has a stronger sense of accomplishment than building Yecheng, which is only the size of an inner city, into today's Yedu with bare hands? Yan Bei could feel it, just like his arms and his legs and feet, he could feel that this Ye Capital was his!

At present, Ye is enough to be called magnificent, although it has not yet been built, it is enough to show the majesty of Luoyang and Chang'an in the past. According to the south of the north bank, the big river is surging, the tall urn city gate outside the south gate is open to the west, is facing the horse face that is being built on the south city wall, every fifty steps on the city wall will place a Wuhan steel crossbow, a hundred steps to put a stone throwing car, mixed perforation female wall, under the urn city suspension bridge, there is a wide moat of more than ten zhang that is being excavated by diverting river water to irrigate, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is solid after it is completed.

Ma Teng and his entourage went from Xiliang to Sanfu, and now from Sanfu to Hebei, almost horizontally walked the world for 3,000 miles, and the scenery and customs along the way were very different. When I entered the territory of Jizhou and saw the people's livelihood and happiness here, I let go of my heart hanging along the way.

The towering Zhongxing Que in Yedu City was the most clear when they arrived at Jiuhou City in the west of Yedu, and it really had the feeling of Luoyang Zhuque Que in the past.

Far away, close to Yedu, the halberd feather forest standing outside the capital is wearing big armor, and there are two vast camps outside Yedu on the left and right, the sergeants in the camp are practicing, and the earth-shaking drum music comes from the camp. Ma Chao, who was in front of Ma Teng, the guard, pouted, raised his spear and pointed at the next team of Yulin horsemen at the city gate, turned his head and complained to Ma Teng: "Father, why is no one coming to pick it up?" ”

At this moment, the Yulin cavalry was divided into two columns, and the passage flashed out of them, and Yanbei beat the horse and walked forward more than ten steps, and arched his hand: "The one who came is the general of Zhengxi?" Yan has been waiting for a long time! ”
