At this time, Qin Ge can only become the sword in the emperor's hand. If Qin Ge is loyal to the emperor, he can still have value. Otherwise, once he has dissent or loses his value, Qin Ge will be abandoned by the emperor immediately, and the only thing waiting for him is to punish the nine tribes. .
Qin Ge laughed angrily when he thought of the high-ranking official and generous salary promised by He Mi. He thought of this woman stepping on his face in front of the general's palace with an act that was almost a charity.
This time, Qin Ge was held in his hands like a plaything and allowed to be kneaded, slaughtered, and killed. This made Qin Ge, who was unable to resist and even desperate, feel an unspeakable shame in his heart.
These two couples are both talented people who have been tempered in the political whirlpool. It seems that they will have to find a way out in the future.
Qin Ge grabbed his hair and sighed: "Why do you want me to deal with the political situation in Luoyang alone? Why do you say this is a required course for masters! That's all! I can't be a baby forever! But this Confucian and Taoist Academy is really me As a safe haven, let me fulfill my filial piety to my teacher these days!"
Although the complicated political situation in Luoyang at this time made Qin Ge suffocated and desperate, Qin Ge at this time was no longer as confused and panicked as before.
Fame, power, temptation, and murderous intent, Qin Ge wants to realize his ambitions in this world and support everything he protects. Now he has the determination to sit firmly on Diaoyutai regardless of the wind and waves.
…
As the sun set, Qin Ge had put on his clothes and knelt in front of Zhu Jun's tomb, falling into a state of silence. Dian Wei stood behind him like a sculpture with his arms folded.
At this moment, footsteps came from behind. Dianwei felt that the person who came was a scribe and had no hostility, so he ignored it and fell into a slumber.
The visitor walked up behind Qin Ge, bowed to Zhu Jun's tomb, and then stood quietly behind Qin Ge.
After Qin Ge finished nourishing his energy for a long time, he turned around and saw Xun Yu standing behind him. Qin Ge's eyes flashed with joy and he said, "Wen Ruo! How did you know I'm back!"
Xun Yu looked at Qin Ge deeply, with a bit of uncontrollable shock in his eyes.
At this time, Qin Ge was a completely different person than he had been back then, but Xun Yu still maintained his unflinching demeanor and said, "The news that the emperor has asked you to serve as the Jinwu Guard has been spread among the government and the public. I I predict that when you come to Beijing, you will definitely come to pay homage to Master Zhu!"
Hearing this, Qin Ge looked at the tombstone behind him, knelt on the ground again, and said with sorrow in his eyes: "Everything seems like a dream, and it seems like it happened yesterday. The teacher's voice and appearance are still vivid in my mind!"
"Sir, he left with a smile after seeing your good news in Youzhou! So all his regrets, unwillingness and worries about Jiangshan Sheji were wiped away at that moment, because he knew that there was a successor! Now you shouldn't indulge in In this kind of grief, I want to inherit my husband's will and shoulder the responsibility of the people and the country. I believe that only in this way can he comfort his nine-day spirit!" Xun Yu knelt beside Qin Ge, with a different look in his voice, which seemed to be He comforted Qin Ge and seemed to be motivating himself.
"My husband spent his entire life working for the sake of the country and the common people. In the end, he was known as a bloodthirsty butcher and was accused by thousands of people. In the end, he was ruined. He was reviled and criticized by the world and ended up being demoted and idle. Finally, he was punished by heaven. Death from torture, every time I think about this, I can't let it go! What's left in my heart is desolation!" Qin Ge was almost desperate for this Han dynasty, especially since Zhu Jun seemed to see his own future. Now I'm afraid there is only Xun Yu in Luoyang This is a close friend.
The forces on all sides were like wild beasts that had lost their shackles. They did not care about the foreigners' eager eyes. The Goryeo Tartars had just been repulsed, and now they began to fight like beasts without their lives.
And Qin Ge is about to join the bloody struggle of these beasts, which goes against Zhu Jun's etiquette and ideals.
Just like Qin Ge today, he was played with by the emperor and He Mi. He was just a chess piece and could not change anything at all.
Xun Yu turned back to look at Qin Ge and was about to speak when suddenly a powerful voice came from behind him and said: "If you are responsible for what happened before you are alive, why worry about your reputation after death! Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is a burning book pit when Confucianism and Taoism are in danger of being destroyed. Confucianism, there is Li Shiqi who was cooked to save the people of the world from being slaughtered. Back then, Duke Dong admonished Emperor Wu for the sake of the people of the world. As long as the Confucian spirit is not quenched, it can be passed on!"
Qin Ge and Xun Yu stood up quickly and saw Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song coming hand in hand. Qin Ge and Xun Yu quickly saluted the two gentlemen.
Huangfu Song helped Qin Ge up and said with emotion: "Bo Xi! Since you can come to this whirlpool, it means you are ready to sacrifice your life for charity! What Wen Ruo said just now is right! Because Gong Wei caused the killing, his back He suffered from sores day and night, and endured the pain that was like peeling off skin day and night. He knew that his end was coming, but he kept insisting on taking medicine, enduring the pain that was worse than death, and the criticism from the court. This was either because he was afraid of death or because he wanted to see him for the last time. When he saw the news of his disciple's triumphant return, God favored him, and he finally left with a smile on his face, satisfied and without any worries!"
At the end of his speech, Huangfu Song's voice was choked with sobs, and Qin Ge's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Huangfu Song took out a scroll of letters from his sleeve, handed it to Qin Ge respectfully with both hands, and said: "This is what Gongwei asked me to give to you before he died! It's his annotation of "Li"!"
Qin Ge knelt in front of Zhu Jun's tomb, respectfully took the letter from Huangfu Song, and said with a bit of sobs in his voice: "I will definitely study it carefully and live up to the teacher's teachings!"
Xun Yu took out the prepared straw mat, and the four of them knelt down in front of Zhu Jun's tomb.
Qin Ge looked at Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi in front of him. At this time, they were also getting older. It seemed that they had been having a hard time in the past few years. After chatting with the two gentlemen for a while.
Qin Ge looked back at Zhu Jun's tombstone and said with a thought: "I heard that the teacher has two young masters under his knees. The teacher is poor and has no money in his family. Now I am also a governor. These days I am going to Hulong Valley to train the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. "If Wen Ruo can help me go to the teacher's home, if you have any difficulties or requests, feel free to raise them. I will try my best to do something for the teacher!" Xun Yu nodded when he heard this.
"Does Boxi know what the emperor's intention is to secretly summon you to the capital and appoint you as the Jinwu Guard?" Lu Zhi was still short-tempered and asked the question that the three of them were most concerned about.
Qin Ge was silent for a moment and selectively talked about today's events in Tangquan Palace. Huangfu Song came to Beijing to serve in the court, so he was very concerned about and understood the affairs of the court. After listening to Qin Ge's account, he stroked his beard and said : "It seems that the emperor has also realized that the power of the Han Dynasty is in danger of being destroyed, and only by assisting the Holy Lord can our Confucian and Taoist Academy inspire the righteousness and suppress the evil heretics! Now the emperor has long been backfired by the evil energy, and the two princes, one is The puppets supported by the demon world are turning to the fairy world again and again. It seems that the imperial power is destined to decline! The age of great strife has become unstoppable. It may return to the chaotic times of the Spring and Autumn Period, and even the war between the heroes, and the chaos of foreign races. This time the great war I am afraid that if the war continues for a long time, how many people in the world will be plunged into a pool of blood!"
Now the Han Dynasty court is in a basically unsolvable dilemma. Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi can only act in a hurry, and the general trend of the world is beyond human control.
Now Qin Ge, a great Han tiger who can intimidate foreigners, is also involved in this political storm, so the two of them are particularly worried at this time. If the world falls apart from now on, it will be the people of the world who will suffer in the end.
Xun Yu remained silent at this time and turned his attention to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge sighed lightly: "The source of the chaos in the world lies in the court. If the court is unstable, the bandits in the world will never be able to be wiped out! As Teacher Huangfu said, the border of civilization is about to open. If the civil strife in China continues, By then, let alone the princes competing for hegemony, I am afraid that Chinese civilization will be destroyed! So since I have the opportunity, I want to do my part for the stability of the court!"
"That's right! The emperor's power cannot fall into the hands of immortals and demons, otherwise even if there is no external trouble, the world will fall apart!" Lu Zhi clenched his fists and said with excitement!
The four of them discussed it until nightfall. Seeing the bright moon hanging high, Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song said goodbye and left. At this time, only Qin Ge and Xun Yu were left in front of the tomb.
Qin Ge looked back at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, you have been silent today and seem to be worried. Is there anything between us that is not worth confessing?"
Xun Yu looked back at Zhu Jun's tombstone and sighed: "There has always been an idea lingering in my mind. I am thinking about your value to the country, the country, and the people of the world. Maybe you can play a greater role in the future. After this world You still need to take the responsibility, so you must not get stuck here in this battle for the inheritance!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ge's eyes flashed and he said, "Would you like to listen to my advice?"
"Nowadays, all parties are competing for profits in Luoyang. Xuanmen wants to unblock the imperial power and establish Taoism in the world. Demonic Tao wants to create chaos in the world, so that the seven emotions and six desires in the world will turn the world into a demonic land, and everyone in the world will do it. Demon! So from the beginning of the dispute between Xuanmen and Demon, Xuanmen has been at a disadvantage. If my guess is correct, the two sides will eventually reach a tacit understanding! And now what you have to do, Lord Marquis, is to control the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. , turning those idle dandy boys into a group of tigers that enforce laws and regulations, and as long as you concentrate on accumulating your strength, as long as you stand under the throne, occupy the righteousness, be as quiet as a virgin, and move as fast as thunder, you can frighten all kinds of forces and maintain a balance! Wait for it later If you have the chance, you can retreat and guard Qingzhou in order to get up later!" Xun Yu's face was unusually calm, his eyes were looking at the bonfire when he spoke, and he did not make eye contact with Qin Ge during the whole process.
Qin Ge was shocked. He didn't expect Xun Yu to have such selfish thoughts. He persuaded himself to take advantage of this battle to gain resources and political capital.
Then he retreated to Qingzhou and waited for the right time to become king. Xun Yu, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty and dreamed of rebuilding the glory of the Han Dynasty, could actually say such things.
"A wise man is lonely. The world is drunk and I am sober; a wise man is painful. He can see the secrets of heaven but is powerless; a wise man is confused. He has no choice but to go against his will! I have always thought that you are open-minded and enlightened, and you have exquisite seven orifices. It seems that you Just like me, he is a mortal full of contradictions, entanglements, and confusion!" Qin Ge looked back at Xun Yu, feeling a sudden sadness in his heart.
Xun Yu turned around and looked at Qin Ge with a kind of relief in his eyes. He suddenly looked up at the sky and said with a hint of madness: "Sure enough, the one who knows me best is you, Lord Marquis! Tonight, Lord Marquis, can you get drunk with me?" "
As he said this, Xun Yu took out two bottles of fine wine and handed one to Qin Ge.
Xun Yu could say that he did not drink alcohol. He said that alcohol would paralyze the nerves and was a taboo for wise men. Unexpectedly, Xun Yu, who had always regarded this as an iron rule, would take the initiative to invite Qin Ge to drink.
Qin Ge held the wine bottle in front of him, turned around and smiled at Xun Yu: "It's just this little thing, who are you looking down on?"
Xun Yu uncorked the bottle and put his nose to the mouth of the bottle to take a sniff. The pungent smell of wine made him cough. He smiled awkwardly and said, "This bottle is all I have. I can't have all the fun with Lord Marquis!"
Qin Ge laughed and said, "Can you call it drinking without getting drunk? Wen Ruo has always said that wine is something to anesthetize and deceive oneself, but countless people flock to it, why? Because this thing can make you forget your worries temporarily, at least The world belongs to you at this moment!"
As he said this, he pulled Xun Yu into the tent that was set up, wanting to have fun with Xun Yu.
