Chapter 19: The Wanderers
Jiang Wei himself is also in a contradictory state, this Han Kingdom cannot die, but there is no one who is qualified to inherit the unification, but there is no one by his side, Yang Yi holds the crown prince's jade seal, plus what Yang Yi did, Jiang Wei had to pinch his nose and admit it, but he also restricted Yang Yi's actions.
It didn't take much to conquer Mianzhu City, and then placed Yang Yi here, and ordered the surrounding counties to set the name of the regent, and then waved the army to Jinguan City, in a vain attempt to save the lord of the country, and then try to do something else.
And Fa Sui and Ning Yi are the people left by Jiang Wei to monitor, Yang Yi just made a false move to sway Fa Sui to Hanzhong, and now Zhong Hui has led the Wei army to retreat from Hanzhong, so naturally someone must preside over the defense affairs of Hanzhong to prevent the Wei army from coming back.
In fact, Yang Yi also made preparations for a comeback from Hanzhong, when Gaozu was able to recover from Hanzhong, Yang Yi naturally also had this ability, what she was best at was farming.
Ning Yi was originally a general, but now that the war is urgent, and the generals who are good at fighting have been taken away by Jiang Wei, he will leave a loyal person to govern, so naturally he will not be of great use.
It was only now that this Mianzhu Fang was really occupied by Yang Yi, and after three months, it had a precarious foundation.
……
Hanzhong.
Meng's has thousands of acres of fertile land, although it is not rich, but it is a scholarly family that cultivates and reads the world, the most important style of literature and etiquette, and the mansion in the city is also very magnificent, and there is a study garden for students to borrow, which is the style that everyone has.
At this time, a young man got out of the car at the door and handed a prayer note to the doorman.
Menzi looked at it, but he was an acquaintance, and his attitude was very courteous, and he said, "Young Master Zhang, please come in, and I will report it." ”
Sure enough, one person hurriedly told later, and the other person introduced the door into the side hall to entertain, and the tea was served, which was very thoughtful.
In a courtyard, a young man was reading, and suddenly he heard footsteps, and without raising his head, he asked slowly, "What's the matter, so flustered?" ”
"Young Master, Young Master Zhang wants to see you!" The servant replied.
"Why is my junior brother here?" When the young man heard this, he put down the teacup, touched his chin, and said to himself, "What does the teacher think?" ”
This young man was Meng Liang, the first disciple of the middle-aged qi practitioner who lived near the mountain in Mianzhu City, and the person who came was the second disciple Zhang Han.
Meng Liang was wearing civilian clothes at this time, his expression was leisurely, his eyes were full of light, after listening to the servant's report, Meng Liang pondered for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll go now!" ”
After taking a few steps, he turned back and said to the servant, "You will change your impatience later, and this is a big deal." ”
The servant hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "Yes, yes, the small one must be changed!" ”
When I walked to the side hall, I saw Zhang Han who looked anxious at this time.
"Senior Brother Zhang, I just heard a report from my brother, and I can't believe it, I didn't expect it to be really a junior brother, where did you come from?" Meng Liang walked over with a smile and said very enthusiastically.
Both of them are courtesy.
"Senior Brother Meng, the younger brother was originally traveling in the Central Plains, and he got a message from the master, so he came back, but he had something to tell him." Zhang Han's appearance was weak, and he smiled and said at this time.
"Oh? Is it? Glancing at Zhang Han deeply, Meng Liang's face showed a playful smile, and he said inwardly: "Then let's go inside and talk in detail...... How many of them are? ”
He looked at the guards who followed Zhang Han, the bearing of these people was not ordinary servants.
"They are the guards sent by a noble man who met by chance, the one who escorted me back, and now in this world, there are many thieves on the road, walking alone, not too safe, so the nobles help each other." Zhang Han said.
"Well, that junior brother is good luck!" Meng Liang shook his head and smiled, and then called a servant and asked him to summon those people to rest.
And he and Zhang Han came to the back, sat down in a small hall, someone served tea, and the two of them were silent for a while, only drinking tea.
"Senior brother, are you still haunted?" Zhang Han asked.
"Well, some, I know that the master is for my good, but I have some doubts."
"Two months ago, the Han regent sent people to ask for talents, but the master cut off, the situation at that time, but it was not taken seriously, but now, gradually stabilized, my father has some opinions, which is now, people with news also know that although the Wei State is very offensive this time, it almost destroyed this Shu Han, and the country of Han is about to disappear.
However, the general Jiang Wei refused Zhong Hui outside the Jianmen, forced Zhong Hui to withdraw because of the harsh winter, and led the army to wave, and now he has subdued Jinguancheng and is pursuing the Wei army to the east, and the Han Guozuo obviously can't die for a while.
And Deng Ai has already taken the Shu Han palace and moved, which also caused Jiang Wei not to dare to chase and kill, and in this way, His Royal Highness is obviously about to ascend the throne, and even only in these days, so how can my father not complain?
Originally, the situation was confusing, but now everyone has seen some clues, and my father is very angry! Meng Liang said leisurely.
If it was according to the normal development, Jiang Wei would not be able to establish the Great Han Dragon Pillar, and he would not be able to stand on his own, so he could only find a way to do it, and then he would be defeated.
And in this case, the middle-aged qi practitioner asked the two apprentices not to come out, so it was naturally easy to achieve.
But at this time, the Han State turned defeat into victory, the north refused to chase the south, and the internal situation of the Wei State at this time was also very delicate, although the Sima family had the heart of usurpation, and also had the power to usurp the throne, but the reputation was lacking, if it could destroy Shu Han, this could announce the official demise of the Han Dynasty, and only with this fame could he ascend the throne.
And now, it is difficult, although the general Jiang Wei is old, he is old and strong, and he will not see any signs of death in three or five years, and now His Royal Highness, the regent of the Han Kingdom, is also like a Ming Jun, who has been silently farming and training in the past two months, and everything he has done has fallen in the eyes of people with a heart, and the people have a high evaluation.
Although there are still some inappropriateness, but at such an age, it is also admirable, so this Meng clan unintentionally blocked it without notice when he learned that the middle-aged qi practitioner did not notice, so he rebounded.
The Meng Mansion is a wealthy family, no matter how much the status of master and apprentice is, it is not as big as the interests of the family, besides, the fathers and ancestors in the family are all there, and now it is not Meng Liang's turn to speak.
"Although the regent is lucky, it can be regarded as a credit, but it may not be his successor." Zhang Han hurriedly said, his family background is much smaller, he can only be regarded as a poor family, and he is younger, correspondingly, there is a lot less rebound, and he said justifiably.
"Senior brother's news and knowledge, studying in the Central Plains, far away, if it is just like this, it is not enough to judge, but you see that in the past month, you see that this highness has been in the county near the left, and all parties have acquiesced to it, do you know what this means?" Meng Liang asked.
Zhang Han is a smart person, and suddenly changed color slightly, the position of the emperor, even if it is a regime like Shu Han, there are many people fighting for it internally, although he has the name of regent, countless people will also compete for it.
The best way is to acquiesce, all parties observe, so that even if there is a scramble, one side is like a clear king, and the other side is unknown, everyone will naturally see the gap, and wait for the name to be determined again, and the big thing will be determined.
What's more, now that the state of Shu Han is in power, everyone is not allowed to make more choices, there is an orthodoxy to inherit it, and this orthodoxy looks good, so all aspects will naturally acquiesce.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, junior brother, this time you come, what does the master have to say?"
"The leader of the Qiang tribe has recently got married, and Master hopes that you and I will go together to celebrate."
"Qiang? What my teacher chose, is it the Qiang people? Although the Qiang people have some war names, they have no fixed residence, not to mention that I am Huaxia, how can I enter these barbarians? Meng Liang said a few words, got up angrily and said.
"What does Senior Brother mean?"
"Go, of course I will go, since the master has a request, why don't I go as a disciple, but it's just a celebration!" Meng Liang said a little indifferently at this time.
Zhang Han opened his mouth to speak, thought about it, and closed it again.
The meaning of the middle-aged qi practitioner, he didn't believe that the senior brother couldn't see it, but Meng Liang obviously didn't have an obedient attitude in this.
But then again, this is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter related to the future of the family and even life and death, even if the middle-aged qi practitioner is a teacher, it is impossible to make a decision in this regard.
"By the way, I heard that Senior Brother Qu has already gone to His Highness."
"Senior brother, he's just a student of politics now!"
"Senior brother, Qu Yuan is just a savage, and he has no family background, but he can be a school politician as soon as he goes, and the official of school politics is a new one, and he seems to be in a humble position, but in fact, he is in charge of the education of several counties and counties, which is already not trivial, which shows that His Royal Highness attaches great importance to him." Meng Liang said with a little unwillingness, if this is him, wouldn't it be a higher position, Xuezheng is a three-hundred-stone official, and he will definitely be promoted within the year, and it is estimated that he will be among the six-hundred-stone.
Maybe within a few years, it will be two thousand stones, and their Meng family, who has been operating for generations, has never crossed the threshold of a thousand stones, how can they not be envious.
"Senior brother!" Zhang Han couldn't help but interrupt this topic, he was cold, and when he listened to it at this time, he was even more indignant, not to mention, he revealed that he intended to marry the daughter of the Jia family, and he was even more humiliated, and said at this time: "Since the senior brother has agreed, then we will go together to celebrate when the time comes." ”
Meng Liang listened, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, then it's a word!" ”
At this moment, a housekeeper came in and said, "The master is very happy to know that Young Master Zhang is coming, please go with Young Master Zhang." ”
When they heard this, they bowed their hands to the butler, and followed him all the way, through several arches, around the long corridor, and into the main hall where the guests were visited.
There was a middle-aged man with a delicate face in the hall, drinking tea.
"Father!"
"Foolish nephew Zhang Han has seen Meng Shibo!" As soon as the two entered the door, Zhang Han saluted respectfully at this time.
Meng Gong's qi cultivation kung fu is very deep, his bearing is calm, with a smile and a smile to let the two of them get up, stroke his long beard, stare at Zhang Han carefully, nod and say: "I haven't seen him for a long time, and the temperament of the virtuous nephew is becoming more and more extraordinary, and his qualifications are really extraordinary!" This study tour must have been rewarding? ”
"The kid is so disdainful, I really don't dare to praise him like this." Zhang Han said respectfully at this time: "This is the master's teaching, and it is also the elders' reminder, as for the study tour, there is also a bit of gain." ”
"Well, that's good, by the way, the old lady at home is okay?" Meng Gong asked with concern at this time.
"My mother is fine!" Zhang Han replied respectfully.
In this way, after half an hour, Meng Gong ended his politeness, and when he got to the point, he only heard him say: "What poems does your husband have written recently?" ”
Zhang Han replied respectfully: "Shibo, the master has been busy teaching recently, and there are no poems yet, the leader of the Qiang tribe is a friend of the master, and now his son is going to get married. ”
"Since it's what Mr. said, so be it, Wu'er, you go once!" Meng Gong heard this, but he was not happy or angry, and said flatly.
But what does this bland mean, Zhang Han is very clear, this year of study tours, let him also see a lot of people and sophistication, and understand the meaning of Meng Gong at this time.
Meng Liang listened, and also responded, the following is nothing, and after some more gossip, Zhang Han said goodbye, and Meng Gong didn't even stay.
At this time, Meng Liang was sent outside the door, bowed to each other, and Zhang Han rode the ox cart and gradually moved away.
Almost at the same time, Li Huan was inspecting the newly built porridge shack at this time.
At this time, these homeless people have been washed, cleaned up, and have simple rough clothes to be distributed, and they are temporarily arranged in the open space, waiting in line to serve bowls of porridge.
When they first came, the situation was very miserable, ragged, frail, and full of fear, and it was also under the comfort of the hot porridge that they slowly eased their emotions.
"Let's arrange to build a house tomorrow, and there are some bricks and wood." Looking at these people waiting in front of the porridge shack, Li Huan's heart was also very uncomfortable, as if he had reappeared in the past, you must know that if it was a year ago, although his family was not in such a miserable state, it was almost the same.
Therefore, the situation in front of him often made him have a special feeling, at this time, at the city gate, he happened to see several ox carts, being driven in, and the ox carts were loaded with farm tools.
"I've seen Shangguan, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and this time I bought eleven ploughing cattle." A small official came up at this time and said.
Li Huan nodded, and said in public with emotion: "With this batch of ploughing cattle, plus the farm tools built by the workshop, these people will have a way to live, which is all the merit and grace of His Highness!" ”
After drinking the porridge, someone took these people to the bulletin board outside the yamen, and naturally someone told them the rules one by one, especially the future distribution and taxation of the fields.
These homeless people are silent, listening intently in the cold wind, about their future, now that they have the hope of survival, no one will ignore it.
After Li Huan saw it, he also went elsewhere, and now there are groups of displaced people moving here every few days, which is not surprising, the Wei army is raging, and in winter, even if you want to eat grass roots and bark, you can't eat, so you can only beg for food everywhere.
Moreover, now that Jinguancheng has just been defeated, Shu is still in turmoil, and the number of displaced people will naturally not be small, plus the news of where they can live, under the spread of people with hearts, it is not surprising that the flow of displaced people is endless.
