The branches of Luoshui are already flowing in the upper reaches. For countless years, most of the commentaries of all dynasties have mentioned this place, and it is said that this place in the northwest of the world affects the main line of the general trend.
However, for many years, Luoshui has been flowing continuously, but there has never been a majestic thousand-year-old ancient country that can still stand in this world. Perhaps the so-called Luoshui ginseng for national luck is just a rumor passed down by Feng Shui magicians or Taoists. It has never been possible to foresee the prosperity or decline of a country's fortunes by resorting to mysterious means. Only God can know, and how can it fall into ordinary people's conjectures.
After all the work was done, Mr. Xun, who had taken up his post to go to Sutai County, often saw this Luoshui, which happened to pass by the outskirts of the imperial city. Walking along the water, you can see its small flow, but also its vast spread, and there are countless numbers at every turn. It has wide water waves, deep ravines, and weird twists and turns, which is quite suitable for Mr. Xun's liking. After all, in the past few years, since I have traveled from Qingchai to various places in Shangqi, I have seen and heard about the world, and my mind and vision are no longer comparable to that of the young master who was imprisoned in the Xun family tower, and his body and bones are much stronger than before. I don’t know whether it’s because my husband’s ginkgo medicine is used properly, or because he’s getting older and traveling long distances, which has tempered his body very well.
The previous trip from Luoshui was after Laoyuhu Feihua ordered him to go to Sutai County. Now he came to Luoshui again, but Xun Yuantuo was already unstoppable in the court. With such a meager age and family background, A capable minister who has reached the second-grade official position.
Although in Sun Fulu's mouth, it is still a matter of debate whether he can be a minister or not. The gimmick is quite big. He has seen someone so young, but he has never seen someone who can reach the second level at such a young age. He is walking on thin ice. Will he be able to reach the other side? Only then can you tell whether the person's temperament is good or bad, and how much skill, mind, and ability he has. The whole city depends on whether he can safely walk to the other side.
It was rare that there was some free time in the front line, and during the time when he visited Xun Wenqu, the old man once made it clear that he would no longer watch Xun Ji's wife with his eyes, so Mr. Xun was able to welcome his mother back to the mansion in all her glory, and rest again. In the past two months, it was time to leave again. After all, it was what the saint had ordered. Although supervising and exploring the military camp and dealing with the military attachés of the same dynasty were extremely difficult, it was still a matter of authority. One could neither refuse to run away nor be slighted in the slightest. In these two months alone, Xun Yuantuo's notes were written eloquently and in more than 100,000 words. He was diligent and dedicated. When he handed it over to the hands of the saint, he was praised by the saint. Of course, he did not dare to waste any time.
A month before Xun's death, he sent someone to send a letter home, which can be said to be as precious as gold. He said that Xun Yuan had not picked up the calligraphy of Tuo Biao for a long time, but he was in Qingchai and could not escape for a while, so he had to send it to his family. This matter was entrusted to my wife, who had already thought of several words beforehand, and it was all up to my wife to decide.
It seems that the head of the side line of the Xun family who was expelled from the imperial city never paid attention to the affairs of the world. When Xun Yuantuo followed his husband to travel around Shangqi, he even said goodbye tacitly. , and he never even said it face to face. It was only because Mr. Zhou was involved that he made up his mind on the matter. However, in Xun Wenqu's words, such a great talent who was very carefree and free-spirited was a man with ulterior motives who had great plans and could almost shake the country's foundation.
The procession that came to see Mr. Xun off was not very big. Mr. Xun’s mother was getting older and had been taken care of by the young master. Although he still spoke little, he looked at Mr. Xun with a strong sense of respect. Sometimes even Xun Yuantuo himself noticed that the looks in the eyes of these three warriors were a little funny. Warriors often admit death, but whenever they try to persuade them, it seems to be a bit presumptuous. Although the previous words are a bit of bluffing and bluffing, but if you think about it from other people's perspective, it is just such an easy thing. It's true, but all those who serve as minor officials in the court are well versed in this and do things according to the rules.
After all, among warriors, it is easy to open and close one's mouth, so although Mr. Xun felt that these three people still did not know how to advance and retreat, he still reluctantly brought these people here. After all, with the drinking capacity of these three people, In an ordinary camp, it is not necessarily easy to get past these three rough guys and force yourself under the table.
Sun Fulu, who lives on the outskirts of the imperial city, has also been free recently. However, this old man, who has finally retired from the court and has become more and more indifferent, quite likes to go to his old mansion. This is not to criticize Mr. Xun, let alone that.
Li Kuang, who can be called a bit of a dandy, was the little girl that Li Kuang picked up halfway. Since he didn't know her parents' surname at all, Li Kuang had to borrow his own surname. After thinking for a long time, he figured out The name Li Mi made Sun Fulu almost lose his temper and almost smashed Li Kuang's Tianling Cap with his cane. If someone hadn't stepped forward to help and stop him, he would have been in pain for several days.
In front of him was Sun Fulu walking with his staff, behind was Li Kuang holding Li Mi and following lazily. Then there were two maids, Xiao Tu and Xiao Zui, as well as the girl who had always been serving the old woman on the outskirts of the imperial city. Come, in addition to Wang Fuzhuo and others, there are also three people, Cui Shun, Xing, Wuxia and Xun Gongzi. There are six horses in total, but they are no less good than those who saw him off.
"Take good care of yourself and take care of your body more. With Brother Xun's current official position, you must live longer and don't die of exhaustion. Otherwise, if I want to go to the court in the future, I won't be without you. Porcelain thick and thick thighs?" It was Li Kuang who spoke first. Ever since Lai came to Xun's house, this man seemed to think that Mr. They all want to drink until the sun rises. Now they are a bit unkempt, but their words are still so unpleasant.
"Then you will definitely die first." Mr. Xun showed no mercy at all.
Li Kuang chuckled, squatted down with difficulty, poked the little girl Li Mi's face, and grinned at Mr. Xun, "I heard from Mr. Sun that Li Mi is very talented in knowledge. A talented man who has gained five years of learning is sitting and debating. Looking at this posture, if you go away for three to five years, when you look back, the depth of your knowledge will only be six or seven millimeters. It is true that people are old and will never come back. Young man."
That's what happened to Li Kuang. His words, which were so polite, came out of this person's mouth, but they didn't sound right.
Sun Fulu was talking enthusiastically today, so Xun Yuantuo had no choice but to dismount and help Sun Fulu walk to the side of Luoshui, only to see that the water was majestic. Although it was already winter, there was no ice at all, and mist fell from the high stream to the bottom. It's full of people's faces and feels cool all the time.
"How is it? How much of the so-called enthusiasm and ambition I accumulated when I came to Na'an is left now?" The old man smiled half-heartedly, looking at Luoshui and spoke.
Mr. Xun was stunned, then smiled, "There should be more than 70 to 80% left."
One of the two is a second-rank official in the court who has been up and down for almost half of his life. Of course, he has a sharp mind and has never made many mistakes. The other is an unprecedented person who has ascended to the second-rank official position at this age. Talented people, whether they are knowledgeable or worldly, learn the rules and regulations in the court very quickly. When two people talk to each other, there is no need for any beating or testing, but each other knows what they are talking about.
"Whether it was the previous monster rush, or the Suizhou City incident, or throwing the condemned scholar to Beiyanze, it was tantamount to death. In his opinion, such measures were superficial, but only What a saint does is an act of superiority." It was rare for Sun Fulu to speak so clearly and straightforwardly. He turned back to the tent and continued, "Things must be done in the four directions and must be in the center. What is the so-called high-ranking official who has all the power? The power of the government and the public is just what ordinary people think of as a matter of course. Except for the emperor, the word power has never fallen on anyone. The power of ministers only lies in their positions. It can be said that the emperor divides his power and transfers it to all levels. In order to make the whole court run smoothly, the king is more important and the ministers are less important. As a cliché, you should also consider it yourself."
"Look at the turbid waves of the Luoshui draining away, and the two sides of the bank were shaken by it. However, the Luoshui has also changed its course twice, reaching out to the fertile soil that the headquarters should be concerned about, destroying it in one fell swoop, all people were displaced, and the mountains and rivers were mourned for a while. , but what kind of statement you can find in it depends on how you think about it. It would be too far-fetched if it were said by an old man."
Facing Luoshui, Xun Yuantuo took a breath.
"Only a foolish person would put his or her own safety out of the hands of power. Power is just the stick wielded by Mr. Sun and the sword used by a martial artist, but power is completely different."
Shangqi Chaotang has been approaching recently, and the wind has filled the building, but no one has mentioned much about Shangqi's border affairs. The man who patrolled Qinnan in Suizhou City had both merits and demerits, and not a single word was written in the history books. The reason why Sun Fulu spoke like this was to tell this young man who was not deeply involved in officialdom: Never take yourself too seriously, never take yourself too seriously, and never regret that everything is going well. Lost, just because the right has never been in it
Hands, don’t have too many distracting thoughts.
So Sun Fulu was very satisfied, but Mr. Xun had not finished speaking yet.
"But what if this river is spacious enough, and there is no land in the world, only water, can it also make waves? My husband once told me that although hundreds of rivers are majestic, if there is no raindrops, how can there be rivers? The king is more important than his ministers, but the water in the river is heavy, and it comes from the dripping water melting ice. If the water in the river bursts the dike one day, it may not be able to stop it. "
This time Sun Fulu didn't say anything. He just raised his messy white-haired head and looked at the young master who was standing next to Luoshui with his hands behind his back. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.
Before Xun Yuantuo, there was Xun Wenqu, who overpowered the emperor Jiazi, but precisely because this Xun Wenqu was too dazzling, he temporarily forgot about this young master's gentleman, named Zhou Kefa.
