On the afternoon of October 28, the fifth year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui and Suning took the list of 500 officials selected by the Zongheng Division, for these 500 people, Suning and Du Ruhui took the Zongheng Division and a group of subordinates to work for almost ten days before they were selected from the 3,000 people.

Along the way, Du Ruhui still kept communicating with Suning about the vertical and horizontal techniques of "Guiguzi", since Suning is the heir of the Zongheng family, he must know that the ancient book of "Guiguzi" and the vertical and horizontal techniques in it, although this important thing cannot be worn outside, but Du Ruhui is also the boss of the Zongheng Division, so Du Ruhui is cheeky and hopes that Suning will teach a little vertical and horizontal skills, so as not to say it when the time comes.

Speaking of which, since reinstating the position of the right servant and serving as the position of the Sanpin Langzhong of the Zongheng Division, Du Ruhui's interest in the study of the hundred schools of thought suddenly became much stronger, not only asking Li Er to give him a lot of books on the study of the hundred schools, but also looking for these similar knowledge everywhere, but he rarely got it, so he had no choice but to play the idea of Suning, the heir of the Zhengheng family.

"Sanming, how do you say that your Zongheng family has been able to inherit it over the years? Do you still have a mentor or something? If there is, they should all be brought to the Zongheng Division as officials, we are currently in urgent need of talents in this area, only you, although you are willing to teach everyone the vertical and horizontal arts, but after all, the effect is slow, if there is such a talent. You need to be introduced! Du Ruhui listened to the explanation of the vertical and horizontal technique for a long time, and had a more or less understanding of the vertical and horizontal technique, and at the same time became more interested, and put forward the hope that Suning would find his brothers and sisters to enter the imperial court as officials......

What if I have a senior brother, I still have to work hard all the time? Suning secretly slandered himself, but he couldn't say it, so he had to say: "Since I became sensible, there has only been one master, one disciple, the master is the master, and the disciple is me." The Master only taught me knowledge. Raised me to grow up, as for the rest, I really don't know the way, if there are fellow disciples. I'm also willing to have them come and help me. But it's a pity. I guess I'm the only one in the world who is familiar with vertical and horizontal arts. ”

Du Ruhui frowned and sighed continuously: "To say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Confucianism of the Hundred Schools, it seems to me that I haven't thought deeply about it before, I just feel that since it is unified." The contention of a hundred schools of thought is a move in troubled times, and the era of great unification should be peaceful, and it is not conducive to the unification of the country and the dynasty every day, but now it seems that one family is really not good, and the balance of the court and the contention of a hundred schools of thought are similar! ”

Suning nodded and said: "Cai Gong is the same as I think, I think that if we can have an opponent or several other opponents, we can have pressure, and with pressure we will seek ways to solve the pressure, so that we can make progress and not rest on our laurels, once the family is dominant, there is no threat and opponent, I am afraid it will be difficult to move forward, we will slack, we will rest on our laurels; That's why Master Zun once said to me, I have always regarded it as the truth, and the opponent is the other hand to achieve the goal. ”

Du Ruhui pondered for a while, stroked his palms and sighed: "Master Ling is really a peerless master!" It's a pity that he died first, if the master can work for Datang, it is really a blessing for Datang, if there is that day, it is to let the old man be a boy who serves tea and water, and the old man is also willing, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity! Sanming, you are the only descendant of Master Ling, no matter how much you have learned, please be sure to pass on this knowledge, Huaxia has lost too much knowledge, it's a pity! ”

Suning said with a smile: "Since there is a Zongheng Division, my idea is to pass on all the knowledge, that is, for this, I will do this to revive the hundred schools, but this move is difficult and dangerous, a lonely palm is difficult to speak, and I also ask Cai Gong to help, we will participate in the grand event, how about it?" ”

Du Ruhui Ha Da Lang smiled: "If you don't have these thoughts, the old man will not agree to take up the position of Zongheng Shilang, wouldn't it be good to be my right servant with peace of mind?" However, Sanming, you must remember that today's Confucianism is no longer the original Confucianism, and the original hundred schools are not the original hundred schools, in the past thousand years, Confucianism has spread all over China, and the inheritance of the hundred schools of thought has almost been cut off, and the revival is not easy.

Now the Confucian giants have not taken measures, but they do not know the depth of your way, do not dare to move, thinking that this is a move to lead the snake out of the hole, so you have this time of preparation, once they are sure that you can not threaten them at the moment, they will pounce like a tiger, at that time, you have to be ready to fight to the death, the old man agrees with the revival of the hundred schools, reproduce the situation of the original hundred schools of thought, and the old man has the same idea of many people, but do not want this to happen, there are also many people. ”

Of course, Suning knows this truth, and now the reason why the wealthy family of Shandong has not moved, there is also the reason for their own letter, Cui's is most confused and worried, and several others may not have so many worries, but Cui's must be very careful, this is their main purpose, to gain time for the Zongheng Division to gain a firm foothold, they will definitely fight back, and the momentum will be very fierce, whether they can hold it depends on the accumulation of the Zongheng Division during this period of preparation.

For this accumulation, the Zongheng Division must take on a big task, and then complete it perfectly, laying the foundation for the Zongheng Division to gain a firm foothold, and this big task is in front of you, taking this task and completing it is the first step in the revival of the Zongheng family, and this task is to get all the affairs of the Western Turks.

After the signing of the "Royal Court Treaty", Datang was busy with the organization and establishment of the military university and the 100,000 people exam, which attracted almost everyone's attention, and there were many foreign guests who also wanted to visit, but they were rejected by Suning on the principle of confidentiality, this is our own Datang's own thing, and it must not be learned by other countries, this is not a big or ungenerous problem, this is a matter of national interests.

At that time, the Western Turkic Ashina Niyu also sent envoys, on the one hand, hoping that the Tang Dynasty would implement the content of the "Royal Court Treaty" as soon as possible, and on the other hand, they also hoped to observe the so-called large-scale examination organized by the Tang Dynasty, and they were very curious about it. Suning refused all these things, but the main purpose of the Western Turkic Mission here was to urge Datang to solve the content of the treaty as soon as possible, mainly the problem of a large amount of material aid......

The Western Turks went through the division rebellion after the death of the Yehu Khan and the arbitrary actions of the Yehu Khan, which led to the separation of the ten arrow tribes from Germany, and the civil strife of the Western Turks continued, which also greatly affected the development of the steppe economy, whether it was cattle, sheep and horses or exchange trade, it was greatly impacted, and a heavy snowfall last winter froze a large number of livestock to death. The economic situation of the Western Turks was very bad.

Originally, the Khan of Yehu pinned his hopes on going south to capture the Tang Dynasty. Who knew that the Tang army was unprecedentedly tough, and before they could fight it, the Tang Dynasty came over and wiped out more than a dozen tribes. More than 100,000 people were arrested and left. and supported Ashina Ni, the dovish leader, and seized the throne of Khan. Then with a piece of "Royal Court Treaty", all the Turks were reassured - the Tang Dynasty will soon start a mutual market with you.

The Central Plains is rich and has everything, and they all know the way. When they can't survive, they will also survive through robbery, but Datang is too strong, after the temptation, they can't help but hesitate, it's good to grab it, but Datang's crazy revenge is obviously not something they can bear, if they can get these necessities through peaceful means, it is obviously excellent, no one wants to die, right?

Datang is willing to open the market, just at the location of the Western Turkic royal court, open the market, everything that Datang can buy, you can buy it here, oh no, it is exchanged, you can use your cattle, sheep and horses or other products in exchange for Datang goods, Datang porcelain, Datang utensils, Datang furniture, Datang grain, Datang cloth, everything in Datang......

As long as you can come up with enough goods to exchange, that's fine.

Who wouldn't want to be able to get it by peaceful means? The Western Turks were at ease, but what they didn't expect was that Datang did not act after that, and after a long pause, Ashina Ni and the Turkic leaders asked more than once when the Datang garrison would be completed, and the Datang garrison could not give an accurate answer, Ashina Ni sent envoys to Datang to ask, and as a result, Datang was handling a very grand exam, which is said to have more than 100,000 people participating, and there is no time for the time being......

I am very curious about the exam, but what is more urgent is the implementation of the treaty, which is the most authoritative treaty, how can I not abide by it? Ashina Ni gradually lost his patience, and the leaders gradually lost their patience, just when he was going to question the Tang Dynasty for the last time, the Tang Dynasty envoys rushed to the Western Turkic royal court, Ashina Ni was greatly surprised, and immediately set up a banquet to welcome the envoys.

The envoy first apologized to Ashina Ni, saying that because Datang had too many things to do, this matter was postponed, no, just solved the matter of the exam, and immediately dealt with this matter, in order to express his apology, Datang will also increase all kinds of support materials by one percent, and speed up the opening of the mutual market, at the same time, the agreed three thousand garrisons will also arrive in ten days, and at the same time arrive at the same time is support materials, at the latest a month, Datang's market can be opened, when the time comes, It is also necessary for Ashina Ni Khan to restrain his subordinates and ensure the safety of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty are very uneasy to do business in such a distant place.

Ashina Ni immediately expressed his understanding, and immediately said that he would seriously restrain the people below him to ensure the safety of the Tang Dynasty merchants, and would never let them be hurt in the slightest, and expressed his great admiration for the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks would definitely maintain a long-term friendly relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

The envoy said happily, these are the decisions of the Tang Emperor, His Majesty felt that the livelihood of the Western Turks was difficult, so he specially ordered the merchants to keep the price down, not to harm the Western Turkic people, and at the same time there will be all kinds of shops to take root in the Western Turks, and then it will be built into a big town, and then it will also pay taxes to the royal court to cater to the laws and regulations of the royal court.

Ashina Ni was grateful, and continued to say that he would deepen cooperation with Datang and try his best to help Datang, and at the same time hoped that Datang would treat the Western Turks with sincerity and cultivate the good relations of the two countries, and the Western Turks would pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty on time and express their gratitude.

At this point, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks has been stabilized, which is naturally indispensable to the contribution of the new Zongheng Division, Suning's first task to these newly selected officials is to attack from all sides, the first task is to send the Western Turks to stabilize the Western Turkic high-level, don't let them have any second thoughts, the second task is to contact the prepared aid materials and 3,000 garrisons, and the third task is to post notices in the East and West markets to persuade private businessmen to go to the West Turks to do business, At the same time, Suning sent his subordinates to deliver letters to the various related state mansions, and was also ready to persuade them to join the ranks.

If this is done well, it will be profitable! (To be continued......)
