At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its peak under the assistance of King Wen of Jin. Even people in Shu secretly envied the political clarity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and complained about the militaristic policies of Jiang Wei, the Shu merchant general. For many people in Shu at that time, the demise of Shu merchants made them secretly relieved and even secretly grateful. With such people's support, no one would support Zhong Ai's separatist rule of Shu. As for the generals of the Zhou Dynasty who accompanied Zhong Ai to conquer Shu, they had just accomplished the task of destroying the country. They were happily discussing how the court should award rewards every day, and they were thinking about how to return home in glory and honor their ancestors. No one was stupid enough to do so. Follow you, Zhong Ai, to rebel again.
Even if the rebellion succeeded in separatizing Shu, it was just a title. But you don't have to rebel to be a prince, and it's a prince of the powerful Zhou Dynasty, not just a small place like Shu.
But today’s Dajin is different. Although Zhao Min got the position of governor of Yizhou through Shen Xiu's path, after arriving in Shu, he appointed a large number of local people from Shu and ignored the orders of the court and strictly ordered the refugees not to enter Yizhou. These two points alone earned Zhao Min praise from countless people in Yizhou. Even people in places such as Guanghan County, Zitong County, Xindu County and other places that were divided into Liangzhou were extremely envious of the fact that Yizhou had a governor like Zhao Shijun, while Liangzhou had a governor like Luo Shijun.
Regarding Zhao Min's failure, Gongsun Fan just sighed in his heart, this man has no destiny.
Under such a chaotic situation in the Jin Dynasty, as long as the refugees at that time obeyed Zhao Min instead of resisting Zhao Min, in Gongsun Fan's view, it would be easy to capture Jiange Pass and then separatize Shu.
As long as there is chaos in the Central Plains, Shu will inevitably be divided. This is Gongsun Fan's own judgment. So when he heard these things about the newly arrived Bo Daoting Hou, not only was he not angry, but he was more interested in Zhou Xing.
In the past, Zhou Xing built schools, medical centers and trade centers. In Gongsun Fan's eyes, these were the wishes of young people. It can't be said to be very good, nor can it be said to be very bad.
After hearing that Zhou Xing caused trouble in the county government and beat Cao Jian, a householder, many people in his family scolded the Tinghou for being so domineering and that he would definitely be punished by the court in the future. However, he saw this. People are not the kind of people to follow the crowd. And at that time, he told his son Gongsun You that County Magistrate Zhang would never complain to the county or state about this matter. The reason is simple. The fault lies with the county.
He did not think that Zhou Xing beat Cao Jian on impulse. He thought that Zhou Xing saw through this and beat Cao Jian.
"This man has such vision and judgment at such a young age, and his cultivation level is that of Zhou Xing. He is really a powerful person! No wonder he can kill Shen Xiu, who is famous for his resourcefulness. A great thief." This was his last sentence to Gongsun You.
Gongsun You didn’t take his father’s words seriously.
Kill Shen Xiu?
Without King Qi’s victory in the two places, what would Zhou Xing do to kill Shen Xiu?
Just a guy who got lucky.
If those refugees hadn’t gone back on their word that day, I might have been made a marquis by Zhao Min at this time. Commander Zhao, you are too indecisive.
But Gongsun You didn't want to. He was also on both sides at that time. He hoped that Zhao Min could successfully occupy Jiange Pass, and those who chose to follow Zhao Min could become marquises or take charge of one side. At the same time, he was making preparations in case Zhao Min failed, trying not to leave any bloody cases on his hands. When the time came to explain, I was forced to do nothing, but I was in the Cao camp and my heart was in the Han Dynasty.
Be like light and dust. This is the principle of life that Gongsun You has followed for so many years.
He didn't take his father's words to heart, but after his son Gongsun Sheng heard it, he took it to heart.
Gongsun Sheng was also a well-known genius in Shu. However, after Jordan was born, he was always suppressed by this young man who was several years younger than him. He never had the talent of his early years. scenery. This made him very depressed, who was also arrogant.
He always felt that it was not that he was really inferior to Jordan, but just that his background was inferior to Jordan.
The Qiao family in Shu County has such a great reputation!
For a young man like him who comes from an excellent family and has been an official for generations, it was natural that he was recommended by others right after his coming-of-age ceremony, and he recommended them all. In his eyes, he would not become an official unless he was recruited by the governor of a state or an official from the Shangluo court. When he was twenty-one years old, he went out to travel alone. First he arrived in Liangzhou, then entered Yongzhou, and then went from Yongzhou to Sizhou. He stayed in Shangluo for almost a year, then traveled to Yuzhou and returned to his hometown via Jingzhou.
When he went to Shangluo again, he was already twenty-five years old. This time he took his younger sister Gongsun Yan to study at Hongdu College. Two years later, when he heard that King Shen Xiu of Zhao had launched a coup in Shangluo to depose Empress Jia, he hurried to Shangluo to bring back his sister Gongsun Yan.
It was at that time that he heard a series of things about Zhou Xing.
A servant of Hongdu Academy can teach the swordsmanship of Zhang Bu, one of the three heroes of Hongdu, who is good at swordsmanship. The one who can make the proud son of heaven, Wang Tianci, the one who is so arrogant as him that he can't even create a character out of jealousy, and he can't give up at all costs. His sister Gongsun Yan liked Zhao Yu the most among the three heroes of Hongdu. According to her, since Zhao Yu started dating Zhou Xing, he often praised Zhou Xing and said that his talent was many times better than his own. .
When a person is praised by a genius, it may be accidental. But it is definitely not an accident that a person is praised by several very good people.
These years of travel have allowed Gongsun Sheng to get to know many handsome young people from all over the country, making him no longer as arrogant as he was when he was young, and his understanding of people and world affairs has improved a lot. . Correspondingly, precisely because of these breakthroughs in understanding, he also gained a lot of enlightenment in cultivation. The reason why he is still a sixth-grade green-robed monk is simply because the Yizhou CompanyDue to the turmoil, he was unable to go over and re-evaluate the grade.
And now he does not value it as much as before, especially now that the world does not seem so peaceful.
The world will be in chaos. Many people can see this situation clearly, and naturally Gongsun Sheng can also see it clearly.
"Use the method of publicly commending advanced people to encourage everyone to strive for the top. This method is beneficial and cost-effective. This Gaotinghou is not simple." Gongsun Sheng heard his younger brother Gongsun Shu talking about this matter at home. Finally, I decided to come and take a look. His sister Gongsun Yan also insisted on coming together after hearing about it, saying that although she was not familiar with Wang Tianyun at Hongdu College. She recognized Wang Tianyun, a famous person in Hongdu College, but she was not sure whether Wang Tianyun recognized her.
This made their father Gongsun You really complain when he found out, saying that since you are classmates, you should move around more. As for what is unfamiliar? You'll get familiar with it if you move around a lot.
On the surface, Gongsun Yan nodded obediently, but in her heart she disagreed.
The number of female students recruited by Hongdu College is less than one-tenth of the number of male students. For this reason, Wang Tianyun has contributed a lot. Before Wang Tianyun entered Hongdu College, there were even fewer female students, and almost all of these female students were descendants of those whose parents had died during Malong's Western Expedition. As for those with families, whether they were rich or poor, they all refused to send their daughters to Hongdu College.
The reason why Gongsun Yan was later sent out by his family and recommended by the state was because after Gongsun Fan heard about Wang Tianyun, he decided against all opinions and decided to send Gongsun Yan to Hongdu College. She is also the first woman from Shu to be recommended to Hongdu College.
Gongsun Yan admired Wang Tianyun very much.
But this admiration did not last long.
Wang Tianyun's food, clothing, and supplies were beyond the reach of a "wealthy family" like her from Bodao in Sichuan, but she could still endure these. But when she saw her crush Zhao Yu peeking at Wang Tianyun, her impression of Wang Tianyun became extremely bad.
According to what many girls say privately, almost all the male cultivators in Hongdu College want to pursue Wang Tianyun and become the quick son-in-law of the Jinyang Wang family.
After learning that Wang Tianyun actually married Zhou Xing, a man who was originally a handyman at Zhenghongdu College, Gongsun Yan was surprised and disdainful.
Where is the eldest lady of the Wang family in Jinyang?
It’s not just watery!
Everyone in Hongdu College knew that Zhang Bu and I were flirting with each other in the college. Why did he turn around and marry Zhou Xing, the man who killed Dean Shen?
However, at that time, everyone said that the relationship between Zhao Yu and Zhou Xing was unusual, but they didn’t know if Zhou Xing knew where Zhao Yu was now? What is the situation? Married or not?
Every time she thought of this, Gongsun Yan's face felt hot, and she couldn't help but peek at her brother, fearing that her brother would notice her little daughter.son's thoughts.
She didn’t know that his brother’s thoughts were not on her at all.
"Ashu just talked about the thing about commending advanced people. In my opinion, the most important thing is that Ashu walked in unison and stood at attention." Gongsun Sheng saw this from Zhou Xing After the training, the records about the ancient famous general Sun Wu appeared in the history books he had read when he was a child. "Is this how Sun Tzu trained the concubines in the harem of Wu? And at that time, Zhuge Wuhou trained for a year, and then almost fought. If you are invincible, is this the case? Since this Lord Ting is so capable, I don’t know what his inner thoughts are? Or is he just trying to protect his family and the people?”
Soon, he He smiled hoarsely and said to himself: "In any case, it is obvious that this Tinghou loves the people. He has this love for the people and the skills to train soldiers. After hearing what Ashu said, this person is also very open-minded and good at listening. Such a person, I'll stop him."
He made up his mind and called Gongsun Yan, who was worried, and the two of them walked towards Zhou Xingxing, who was sitting under a big tree to enjoy the shade.
"Monk Gongsun Sheng (Gongsun Yan) has met Junhou!"
Zhou Xing's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them wearing brocade robes that symbolized the status of monks. In the past few days, he had only recruited one monk, that Huang Yuan. When Huang Yuan came to apply for the job yesterday, he was stunned when he saw him. He was not surprised at all, but rather embarrassed.
He had just sent his father to prison not long ago, and he heard a few days ago that the war in Yizhou was not going well, so all those in prison were pulled out to fight. I don’t know whether Huang Ang is dead or alive now.
There are seven or eight families with monks in his fiefdom, but they are all small families, and they are all "poor families". Not to mention compared to the national wealthy families such as the Jinyang Wang family and the Boling Cui family, not to mention the Qiao family in Shu County, the Guanghan Xin family, just compared to the Bodao Gongsun family, they are all poor families. But compared to the families of Qiao Feng and others, they are a "rich family".
But even among the monks from the poor families in his fiefdom, no one came. He couldn't say anything to others. They had sent their own children who were not cultivators to apply for military service. It was not like they were refusing to serve in the military.
This made Zhou Xing very depressed.
Although Zhou Xing felt uncomfortable about Huang Yuan's arrival, he immediately made a warm welcome gesture. He immediately asked the blacksmith to make a sign with "Advanced Home" engraved on it and gave it to Huang Yuan.
On the surface, Huang Yuan accepted it solemnly with gratitude. After returning home, he put it under the box.
Well, I really can’t hang out, and I can’t afford to lose that person. Huang Yuanquan should have confiscated this thing, but Quan should have never seen this thing.
Zhou Xing didn't know it. When he saw Huang Yuan's cheerful look, he thought that his small favor had another effect, and he was very happy. When he saw Huang Yuan again, he no longer felt embarrassed. And he personally tested Huang Yuan and found that although Huang Yuan only had one spiritual vein, but the air sea is very big.
"In the past few days, you have concentrated on refining your spiritual power," Zhou Xing said to Huang Yuan: "When the spiritual power in your Qi Sea is full, I will teach you the 'Twenty-Four Styles of the Divine Ape' ."
This time, Huang Yuan was grateful from the bottom of his heart. Regarding the matter between his father and Zhou Xing, although he often said in his heart that the monarch was not wrong and that the monarch enforced the law impartially, it was impossible to say that he did not care. It wasn't until Zhou Xing said these words that Huang Yuan completely lost his care.
"Junhou, when I came here, I saw that a lot of vines had been cut down in your kingdom, and some shields were placed beside them." Gongsun Sheng said: "What makes me strange is that these Why isn't the vine dealt with?"
Zhou Xingzheng was worried about this matter. He thought that the shield was just woven vines into a shield. But I don't want the shield created in this way to be unable to withstand the attack of the sword. He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know how to solve it.
"Mr. Gongsun, please tell me quickly!"
"This is not difficult." Gongsun Sheng traveled around the country and happened to be watching in a small tribe in Zangda County. People who lived there made rattan and rattan armor. He has always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he actually remembered this process perfectly.
“Soak the ivy-woven rattan plaque or rattan armor in tung oil for twenty-four hours, then take it out and dry it. The drying time will take at least two months. Then soak it again and dry it again. . Repeat this for more than three times, and the rattan shield will be invulnerable."
Holy shit! Zhou Xing was shocked when he heard this: "It actually takes such a long time? Where can I find it in time!"
"If you are in a hurry, I can help you go to Zangqi County. There are several tribes there that have this problem." I can’t guarantee the quantity of the finished rattan armor.”
“Mr. Gongsun is really a timely gift to me, Mr. Gao.
"Without it, I hope that the emperor will realize Ling Yun's ambition in the future, and never forget the original intention today."
Ling Yun's ambition?
