Chen Xi was also somewhat silent. In the end, the two of them were speechless. They were both over thirty. Who can be called an old man and who can't rely on himself?
"Sometimes, it's much easier when you give up something." When Fazheng left, he said to Chen Xi with a bit of sadness.
After Fazheng left, Chen Xi shook his head. He had persisted to this level. If you give up, just give up. This is not a question of whether it is easy or not. If you are an adult, you are not comfortable, and if you are comfortable, you are not an adult.
"Master Han, how do you feel about knowing too many secrets?" Chen Xi turned sideways and asked Han Qiong. Now Chen Xi understood more or less why immortals were the orthodox guardians.
"It's just out of the left ear and the right ear. Don't hear anything inappropriate." Han Qiong showed his face and said to Chen Xi, but Chen Xi looked at Han Qiong up and down and was somewhat silent.
"Master Han does not need to make such a big sacrifice." Chen Xi said. He has very good eyesight and can naturally see that Han Qiong has turned from martial arts to immortality and has been bound by the fate of the country. This is something that immortals can keep secrets. reason.
"What is sacrifice?" Han Qiong said with a smile, "It is not a sacrifice to be born in the immortal way."
"Immortal life is precious." Chen Xi nodded, and then sighed, "But the reason why immortals live is also the reason why they die.
Chen Xi has never understood what happened to the immortals in the underground palace before. Those people are obviously not alarm bells, but most likely the real body. In other words, the immortals in the underground palace can actually achieve immortality without borrowing the luck of the country. Those people are from ancient times. The essence of immortality.
For this reason, Chen Xi asked Zixu specifically when he had nothing to do. Zixu was considered the most open-minded among the immortals, and did not deliberately cover up such somewhat taboo questions.
On the contrary, he told Chen Xi very openly, "For what the immortal lives, he will die for what, because as long as he is a human being, even if he is confused, he will eventually have a touch of spirituality. After ordinary people wake up for a while, they may become confused again, but for a long time Lifespan is long enough for people to wash away all their smudges, understand their true nature, why they live, and why they are willing to die! "
Therefore, Chen Xi knew very well what it meant for Han Qiong to turn to immortality. It meant truly protecting him until death. There was a high probability that even if he died, Han Qiong would die as well.
"As you get older, if you don't turn to immortality, you will have passed your prime." Han
Qiong said very calmly, "Besides, times have changed, and the old man is also a little worried that he will not be able to guard Chen Hou."
"I usually don't run around." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"It's good to live one more day, right." Han Qiong stood straight and looked at Chen Xi and said.
Chen Xi did not answer and continued to walk outside the palace. Although there was a carriage, Chen Xi still chose to walk in and out most of the time.
Seeing this, Han Qiong turned into light and disappeared behind Chen Xi.
"Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking for you." When Chen Xi was about to leave the palace, Xin Xianying rushed over while holding on to the frame of the carriage. When she saw Chen Xi, she quickly stopped her.
"Looking for me?" Chen Xi looked at Xin Xianying with some confusion, "How is the situation recently?"
Xin Xianying's face turned slightly red. Chen Xi smiled when he saw this. It seemed that things were going well, so he asked Xin Xianying to lead the way and prepared to see if there was anything wrong with Liu Tong.
Xin Xianying is indeed of age to get married. Even considering that she has never been a teacher, she should get married now. In the ninth year of Yuanfeng, Xin Xianying is actually 17 years old.
In this era, even girls from aristocratic families should get married. If they go too far, the children will run away. Chen Xi and Cai Yan have also been helping Xin Xianying find a suitable partner, but they have never succeeded. In the end, Qiguai Baguai has returned to the original track of history, and Yangdan has won a great victory!
After struggling hard, he succeeded in taking the test and got the second place. After Li You personally evaluated him, he thought that this naughty boy Yang Dan still had some fighting ability, so he made an exception and was appointed as the county guard, and then went to Zhangye, a tough and poor country in the northwest. Liao County went to practice.
The scientific examinations these days are simple and crude. Ever since Chen Xi launched them, they have only been conducted a few times. There is no accurate time for the scientific examinations. It depends on which year there is a major case, or the expansion of the territory leads to insufficient number of bureaucrats, and then a wave of Let’s go fishing for gold in the sand during scientific research.
What's more important is that this kind of exam doesn't require any dance or writing skills.
Mo, even though the government affairs screening was simple and crude, local bureaucrats were allowed to take it for reference. Wen Hui had participated in it that year, but it turned out that the exam that year was so abnormal that Wen Hui paid and gave up after taking part halfway.
As a Yang Dan who got second place in the exam, he had several options. One was the local county magistrate, which of course was a very good place, and the other was the Vice Minister of Chang'an.
, it’s unclear who his immediate boss is, one is a county-level bureaucrat in a remote rural area.
Yang Dan came here to let Xin Xianying see her struggle. Of course she worked extremely hard. She directly told Li You that I am not afraid of hardship. I came here just to show my struggle and give me the whole place that best reflects my struggle. Then Li You So I gave Yang Dan a Zhangye County Sheriff. It was really a remote place.
Of course, the rank is indeed high, even more than two thousand stones, but if he can't solve the troubles in Zhangye, he will have to step down after less than three years, and he may be held accountable.
Then Yang Dan gave Li You a glimpse of how far he could go to fight for a big Lolita. After more than two years in Zhangye, the hair on his running legs fell off. He was a super young man who struggled for nine hours a day. People, it highlights the struggle of a young man!
There is a saying that Yang Dan is still capable to some extent. Although there are not many records of people who can reach Jiuqing in the history books, they still have abilities. If they really fight, they can really fight.
Especially on this day, twelve hours, nine hours of struggle, the hair on the legs fell off while running, the ridiculous fighting ability really solved a lot of things for Zhangye County, and also led Zhangye people to do all kinds of things as much as possible. industry.
In short, according to Li You's observation, with Yang Dan's level of struggle, as long as he doesn't die suddenly, Yang Dan can at least get a mid-level ranking in a large-scale promotion project that happens once every three years. There is no way, the foundation is too weak, and after six years of hard work, the rank will be enough Two thousand stones to become a real county governor.
According to this level of struggle, he will be able to return to Chang'an as the central backbone in almost ten years.
This naughty kid can still be saved, and at this level, he can win Xin Xianying's eyes. After all, Yang Dan has a good sister-in-law to give Xin Xianying advice. In addition, Yang Dan is really struggling. Cai Zhenji can also tell Xin Xianying that this is different from the previous ones. It's different from the places where there was no praise in 2018. In the past two years, Yang Dan has been working hard, which is good for Xin Xianying.
If you are really talking nonsense, you are looking down on Xin Xianying. Besides, Miss Cai Er wants to save some face anyway. Everyone has spiritual talents. In a circle, if you look up but don't look down, you are really messing up. Can we meet again in the future?
This was also earlier, when Yang Dan was not struggling very much, and the second lady, as Yang Dan's sister-in-law, did not help Yang Dan. After all, this was marriage, a lifelong event.
But now Yang Dan has begun to struggle, and he has worked hard and achieved some results. Xin Xianying has never left Yang Dan and is always coveting Xin Xianying. Cai Zhenji will mention it at least. One thing to say is that five years ago Xin Xianying I know that the sheep is greedy for me.
After five years of observation, Xin Xianying found that Yang Dan was still greedy for herself, and had become a lot stronger because of her greed. Well, this had to be considered.
In addition, what happened to Lu Su last time was actually revealed to Liu Yan by some details found during Yang Dan's field trip, which helped Yang Dan to some extent. Basically, it paved the way for Yang Dan to go there. On the road to Chang'an, as long as the next two plans are rated "top", there is no obstacle in returning to Chang'an as the central backbone.
So Chen Xi vaguely heard Cai Yan say that the matter between his apprentice and Yang Dan could come true. During the previous court meeting, Cai Zhenji brought her brother-in-law to meet Xin Xianying.
But it’s right to think about it. There are people from Xin Xianying’s generation up to the bottom. Only Xin Xianying is stuck in the middle. It’s somewhat difficult to choose.
The real second generation, such as Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Guo Huai, actually all have wives and even sons. Yes, after Yuan Feng came back from Kandahar in the ninth year, Guo Huai finally married the daughter of his family who had raised him for nine years. Wife, Taiyuan Guo family welcomed their mistress, Wang Fan is fourteen years old
For this reason, Guo Huai's biological father almost strangled Guo Huai to death. You should have gotten married ten years ago, but I delayed it for ten years. However, after the merger of the three kings, the head of the family was Wang Ling, Wang Fan's biological brother. , as the legitimate daughter, no matter what, the Taiyuan Guo family is considered a wealthy family, but it depends on whose family it is compared with.
Because Guan Yu mentioned this wedding at the banquet, Liu Bei and Chen Xi both gave gifts.
After all, Zang Ba, Wei Yan, and Guan Ping, who were with Guo Huai back then, had already made it through, and Hua Xiong and Guo Huai had been hanging out in Kandahar for many years. A group of old people needed to pay tribute, so Liu Bei and Chen Xi followed suit. Yes, it’s not like I don’t know him at all.
The combination of new people made Chen Xi clearly feel that he was indeed old. Moreover, after this year, Wang Ji, Ma Liang, Ma Su and others graduated from Taixue and were assigned to the army or local areas. Chen Xi clearly realized that the Three Kingdoms The group of people in the mid-term have already begun to show their prominence.
"It's rare that you would actually invite me over." After Chen Xi entered Weiyang Palace, he found a seat and sat down, looking at Liu Tong curiously.
As Liu Tong grew older, it became more or less inappropriate to meet Chen Xi alone. Although it was not appropriate in the early years, it was just that Chen Xi was young and energetic in the early years, while Liu Tong was more or less willful, and the two of them had threesomes. The perception is somewhat biased. In the past few years, both of them have matured and their personalities have become somewhat similar. Of course, it is also possible that Liu Tong's spiritual talent has been used too much.
"Just a little teasing is enough. I'm going to go to the East China Sea." Liu Tong didn't care about Chen Xi's teasing after hearing this. After letting people serve tea, he said with a gentle expression.
"East China Sea?" Chen Xi frowned slightly, "It is somewhat inappropriate to travel at this time, and going to the East China Sea will take too long."
"I'm going to see how my palace on the sea is being built." Liu Tong said with a smile.
"Can't you trust me to do anything?" Chen Xi said helplessly.
"No, I'm just planning to go there and move the palace to Jiaozhou." Liu Tong said with a gentle expression. After hanging out with Chen Xi for so many years, Liu Tong knew Chen Xi's abilities very well. There must be a palace in Donghai, but what happened? Like, what to do, then I can't say for sure.
But if you really want to say it, those things are actually not important. As long as they are there, Liu Tong will not care about it. At most, he will complain to Chen Xi when he finds out that Chen Xi is abusing it.
"Has the war in the outer dynasty reached the point where His Highness knows about it?" Chen Xi sighed and said, "The matter has not reached the level that Your Highness is worried about."
"If I really want to say it, it's not only because of the war in the outer dynasty, but also for other, unspeakable reasons." Liu Tong said sadly. Her biological brother was beaten again, so Liu Tong was more or less prepared to take Liu Xie with him. If he goes to see the world, if he has been confined to that small corner of the world and has not seen the heights of heaven and earth, then Liu Xie will have to be constrained by this for the rest of his life.
It's not that Liu Tong hopes that his younger brother will have any amazing performance, but in terms of a pure sibling relationship, Liu Tong also hopes that his younger brother can look at life from a normal perspective, rather than getting into trouble and being unable to extricate himself.
This era seems really good to Liu Tong. Especially after experiencing the Luoyang Rebellion and the Chang'an Rebellion, Liu Tong has become much more accepting of many things. He even saw Li Jue and Guo Si during the court meeting this year. When Liu Tong, Fan Chou and others appeared in front of him, Liu Tong didn't have much expression on his face, and his hatred for Li You even faded a little.
"There may be a war in Jiaozhou, although the probability is very low." Chen Xi thought about it and still felt that he needed to inform Liu Tong of something.
"There's no one else here, and I don't have to pretend not to understand." Liu Tong waved his hand and said, "So I know it without explaining it to me. I will read the battle reports and memorials when I'm fine. The more I read them, the better." I can roughly understand it, and the two great immortals here at Weiyang Palace will analyze these strategies and tactics, so they won’t be much weaker for you.”
"In fact, the imperial governor has submitted a lot of memorials recently. I'm afraid they were not sent to you, but were reviewed by Kong Ming." Liu Tong handed several memorials to Chen Xi, and Chen Xi flipped through them casually, opening them one by one. , and already understood what Shi Xie was doing.
"Compared to Cao Sikong, Wu Hou's luck is indeed amazing." Liu Tong said with emotion, "Not to mention all the centurions needed for the army reform, at least three to four hundred backbones have been obtained. , the loss of soldiers, manpower, and resources, Jiaozhou is also willing to support part of it for the sake of the stability of raw materials and the stability of commerce."
"This is all Cao Sikong's main force." Chen Xi said rather sadly, "But it is indeed like this in Jiaozhou."
"Who are you really?
As we all know, although the entire Linyi-Funan Kingdom was moved back by Marquis Yangcheng and Marquis Xuancheng, there must be people who are dissatisfied with Wang Hua. After all, Jiuzhen and Rinan have been in the woods since the Zheng sisters. Liu Tong said lazily with his eyes half closed.
