Chapter 267 Spring and Autumn
After the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no war.

After the two masters of Qi, Liang and Northern Wei signed an agreement in Qijiang, they lived in peace with each other for 16 years.

And these years, it seems that Qijiang is not as peaceful as before.

In the 16th year of the Spring and Autumn Period, Chen Wanjuan, the only son of the champion of the Northern Wei Dynasty, climbed to the top of the Lanling City Palace and won the first place in the world's literary evaluation list.

The young Confucian scholar who overwhelmed countless literary critics in Qiliang Jiangnan Road, left Lanling City alone in Qingluan in the silence of Qiliang.

On the same day, all the officials of Lanling City took off their hats and went to the main hall to plead guilty.

His Majesty of Qiliang just smiled and looked at the officials who came from the palace examination in Lanling City and are now the mainstay of officialdom in Qiliang. Most of them are still young. Had a place.

Of course Xiao Wang knew what crime they were asking for.

Qi Liang Wendao suppressed the Northern Wei Dynasty for 16 years.

Always be ashamed.

These kneeling officials are all from the scholars on the literary review list, worried that they will become angry with embarrassment and will not be able to suppress the murderous intention, so that the descendants of the champion of the Northern Wei Dynasty will pay the price for their actions of provoking the entire Qiliang.

They were afraid that Chen Wanjuan, who won the first place in the Lanling City Palace Examination, died on the way back to Wei.

Then Qi Liang would really lose face.

Fortunately, Xiao Wang didn't think it was a shameful thing to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Qi Liang still raised his banner as before to welcome those Jiangnan Dao talents on the literary review list.

It's just that there were ten literary critics in the world in previous years, but this year there are only nine in Qiliang.

Seeing His Majesty, the nine young Jiangnan Taoists were full of longing. After entering the hall, they quickly looked around and looked at the seniors who had already become famous in the court hall.

There is only one exception.

After entering the palace, the young man only took a quick look around, kept his eyebrows down, and occasionally raised his eyelids to catch a glimpse of the empty seat of the national teacher, and there was a slight undetectable fluctuation in his eyes, as if it was a pity, but also as if he was lost , bowed his head again.

He is neither happy nor angry, neither angry nor verbal, neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Emotions in people's eyes are inherently elusive, and the nine talents who made it into the literary review list more or less deliberately buried the joy in their hearts.

And this man didn't.

Xiao Wang could see that he didn't think there was anything to be happy about at all.

So after retiring from the court, Xiao Wang left this young man behind.

"Qi Shu." Xiao Wang read his name softly.

This young man was neither humble nor overbearing, with his sleeves folded in front of him, he just bowed to the most ordinary courtier's salute.

silence.

"World Literary Critic, you are ranked tenth." Xiao Wang looked at the young man with a smile: "You were born in a poor family, starved for 20 years, and now you are on the list, and you are destined to rise to the top in the future. I, Qi Liang, have always been on the list of literary reviews. Pay attention, in the future, there will be a place for you in the high place of the Qiliang Temple."

His Majesty paused: "Why are you unhappy?"

Qi Shu raised his sleeves slightly, bowed, raised his hands to his eyebrows, and looked directly at the ground with his head down.

He waited for 20 years, and finally waited for this opportunity now.

He doesn't want to be a blockbuster, but only wants to sell what he has learned to people who know talent.

When Qi Shu entered the imperial court, his heart turned cold. He never imagined that the master of the state, who knew all his talents, would be absent from the important event of literary criticism.

Also.

Qi Liang was overwhelmed by the Confucian and Taoist successor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, how could the Master of the State Teacher enter the palace?
Qi Shu originally thought that his talents and learning would be buried, but that His Majesty bestowed an official position at will, how great is the Nineteen Ways of Qi and Liang, can he enter the palace again in his life, or get such a good opportunity like today?
Feeling cold for no reason.

He was going to risk disrespect and stay in the hall after he retired, but he didn't expect His Majesty to take the initiative to let him stay.

So Qi Shu cleared his throat and said calmly: "Your Majesty, even if you don't keep my minister today, I will risk my life to stay."

Xiao Wang smiled and looked at this young man who couldn't afford to bow: "Do you really think I'm blind?"

Qi Shu couldn't help shaking his hands hidden under his big sleeves.

He didn't sleep all night, and he thought of countless sets of arguments in his mind, just to be able to persuade the other party when he met today, but now he didn't know how to speak.

His voice was a little trembling, and he said, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Wang laughed lightly.

"Today, there are only you and me in front of the palace." Xiao Wang suddenly coughed in a low voice, covered his face with his sleeve, and said vaguely: "The national teacher left a message before leaving, saying that you are worthy of great use, I want to see it." , how can you be of great use?"

The young man who was only at the bottom of the literary review line had tears in his eyes.

He knelt down slowly and performed the biggest prostration ceremony between the monarch and his ministers.

He was lifted up by Xiao Wang who was downgraded.

Qi Shu was a little unsteady for a while, so with the support of that majesty, he tremblingly took out an old and dilapidated green scroll from his sleeve, which was densely packed with ink stains that had just dried, and he prepared it for this day. too long.

"Master Guoshi's pearls and jades are in front of you, Qi forgives you for not being talented. In your whole life, you can only learn three or four things that Master Guoshi has learned." Shu knows that he can't do it; Qi Shu also knows how to balance officials; Qi Shu doesn't understand the emperor's mind."

Officialdom is like walking on thin ice, who doesn't know how to be trembling?
This young man was so open-mouthed, how could he tell the whole story like this?

But Xiao Wang said jokingly: "There are only a few things between the monarch and his ministers, you are not good at all, and you dare to say that you can learn three or four things from Yuan Tiangang?"

Half joke, half good-natured ridicule.

Qi Shu actually laughed at himself, "Master Guo Shi is a rare all-rounder in the world, he can learn three or four things, Qi Shu is already satisfied."

Not ashamed at all.

He suddenly suppressed his smile, and said with great conceit, "If I lived on the North Gusu Road, the frontier of Great Xia could retreat half a hundred miles within a year. At least 20 more soldiers will be stationed in the country."

Xiao Wang looked at the dense green scroll notes written by this young man.

36 kinds of killing techniques, at least one thousand people were killed, and the serial strategy is unavoidable to be suspected on paper, but it is really real, and the scalp is numb.

Bingdao.

He suddenly remembered that there was an extremely extreme test paper in the Qiliang Literary Review, which was empty except for the martial arts, and he got an exceptionally high score.

齐恕
Forgive me!

Xiao Wang coughed dully again, and looked at this young man. His face was thin, his brows were raised, and he was very weak, but he obviously had the face of a military strategist.

A soldier leading an army can only pick one person with a gun, while a Confucian scholar leading an army can kill thousands of people.

Xiao Wang looked at this young man, and suddenly thought of Lu Lao who was praised as a soldier saint before the Spring and Autumn Period.

He said softly: "Qi Shu, I assure you, there will be a time when you shine in Qiliang in the future."

Qi Shu was slightly taken aback.

"But definitely not now."

Looking at the Qingjuan, the young man who understands the situation in the world is a little puzzled. The Luoyang incident has been passed to Qiliang, and the Fucang agreement has been torn up. Arriving at the northern frontier fortress similar to Hongliu City, whether it is a surprise attack or a direct attack, Qi Liang will have the upper hand and advantage.

Qi Shu raised his head and was shocked to see the blood stains on His Majesty's sleeve.

I don't know when I coughed it up, and I didn't have time to wipe it off.

Xiao Wang smiled with his hands behind his back, but actually slightly hid half of his dirty sleeves, and said softly: "You see? My body has some old problems, it's not a serious problem."

Qi Shu understood what His Majesty meant.

"You treat me like a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a gentleman of the country." He whispered softly: "Qi Shu can wait."

Xiao Wang smiled, "It's really not as serious as you imagined. If one day Qi Liang's Northern Expedition comes, it will be no problem to mount the horse yourself. I know what you mean, but the Northern Wei Dynasty is not as traumatic as it seems on the surface. Now that the war is going on, Qi Liang Can't get cheap."

Of course Qi Shu, who doesn't hear anything about cultivation and doesn't know Fengxue Yincheng's entry into the world, doesn't understand why.

He lowered his head slightly.

"Just stay in Lanling City." Xiao Wang smiled, "Qi Liang's army has always been well-versed in literature and military, how dare you match up with that great general in Tsing Yi?"

Qi Shu smiled and asked calmly, "Why not?"

"it is good."

His Majesty narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I assure you, one day, the world will remember your name of forgiveness."

After Qi Shu retired from the palace.

Xiao Wang smiled, and coughed violently again, even coughing up blood from his heart and lungs.

He climbed to the top of the castle in the air alone, and the national teacher was not in Lanling City.

Xiao Wang looked around Qi Liang in a daze.

Surprisingly, there was no one around.

His three sons have all grown up.

"I know such a day will come sooner or later." He laughed at himself, and said, "I will grow old, but everyone will grow old."

This half master of the Central Plains is actually a little lonely.

"But I didn't expect that time would pass so quickly."

Some knots have not been opened yet.

There are some things that I don't know if I still have the opportunity to say them.

But there is no way.

Born in an emperor's family, some things are destined to be sacrificed.

Xiao Wang murmured: "She is really a strange person. Even the fixed adulthood is different from the world, yes, Wuhui and Wuxian have already received their letters."

"too fast"

“Really too fast”

"I haven't talked to you much yet." The corners of His Majesty's eyes were a little moist, and he murmured: "I don't know if I still have a chance to tell you a good story about her."

Picking the stars and the moon, the Mohist banished the immortals, the No. 1 Confucianism and Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Chen Wanjuan, who returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, received overwhelming praise.

What a big deal it is that literary critics overwhelm the whole of Qi and Liang.
And that Chen Wanjuan who stole the limelight from scholars all over the world went into seclusion immediately after entering Luoyang, and there was no news from him again.

The Northern Wei Dynasty praised Chen Wanjuan, but Chen Wanjuan would not accept it at all.

Qi, Liang and Northern Wei faced each other across the river, keeping silent to each other.

And the 16 years of the Spring and Autumn Calendar, which was recorded in the history books, seemed to be silent in the second half of the year.

Those monstrosities in the great world of Fucang, born once clean and ugly at the end, have all appeared on the stage in the 16-year calendar.

Qi Liang reincarnated Bodhisattva who went out of customs and entered Luoyang to establish Buddhahood.

The Suzaku demon woman who came out of the chess palace.

Wang Xuezhai, who entered the world in Yingu.

Li Changge of Snowy Silver City.

The Taoist elder brother of Zhongwei Peak.

These young evildoers seemed to have chosen to remain silent with a tacit understanding.

But maybe one day, someone will have a whim.

think of such a question

In the second half of the 16-year calendar that was taken over by the barnyard officer, nothing major happened. What is the reason?

Beads are strung together, and every evildoer seems to be a bead. In the future, if they are strung together, they will become the most inescapable rivers and lakes in the Central Plains for thousands of years.

And the second half of the 16-year calendar, which was a mediocre one, may be because.
The thread that strings the beads is no longer in the Central Plains.
