Chapter 595: Examination


"Old lady, Yang Langzhong has arrived."

"Hehe, please let him in" Yang Fan dusted off his clothes and walked into the hall.

The hall is very large, this is Yang Fan's first feeling.

There are a lot of people in the living room, which is Yang Fan's second feeling.

In the spacious hall, there are couches and small tables, which is the ancient meal distribution system that only high-ranking officials and nobles will tirelessly adhere to.

Each table was filled with sumptuous food and ancient utensils.

Behind each of the wooden lacquered feathers, the bronze wine bottle, and the log western bottle spoon sat a solemnly dressed guest, dressed in a somewhat retro robe, ten of whom were old men, and the youngest was already gray, which matched the old wine utensils.

This empire is being ruled by an old woman in her seventies, and these thousand-year-old families are in the hands of these gray-haired old men, whether it is their wisdom, experience or experience, it is the accumulation and precipitation of the years, no one dares to underestimate it, Yang Fan is not in awe of their status and power, but he maintains full respect for these wise elders.

Li Mubai had already changed into a longevity robe, sat on the top and looked at him with a smile, Yang Fan stepped forward and congratulated the old man on his birthday in a calm and powerful voice.

The old people all know that Li Mubai admires the younger life in front of him very much, and intends to bring another junior after Shen Mu.

But this requires their joint nod, as long as they nod their heads, the young man in front of him can immediately have a huge wealth and endless network resources, although this power is far less than Jiang Gongzi.

Originally, there was no Hidden Sect and Hidden Sect in the Succession Hall, and the Succession Hall was the agent of the family pushed out by all the families, and it was the only one, but no one thought that Shen Mu would actually pull up a force from the Succession Hall that was enough to compete with Jiang Gongzi, and he was stunned to turn a peripheral organization of the Succession Hall into a hidden sect on an equal footing, so that the Succession Hall was divided into two.

Now they agreed to Li Mubai's proposal and were willing to build another force in addition to Jiang Gongzi and Shen Mu, in order to stabilize the structure of the Succession Hall, but Shen Mu had learned from the past, of course they would not give Yang Fan a huge force that had the hope of splitting the third sect again, even so, such a force was also dreamed of by countless people.

Although they believed in Li Mubai's vision, they also needed to further consider Yang Fan to confirm this person's ability, and today, they were just seeing this person first.

Yang Fan's performance is neither humble nor arrogant, and his decent performance leaves a good first impression on these old guys.

At this time, someone crept in from the side door, more than one person, they were barefoot, and walked towards their respective masters, and after a whisper, the old people looked at Yang Fan with a strange gaze.

Obviously, they already knew about what had just happened in the garden.

"Fortunately, the old man is already over the age of eight, and he is eighty-eight years old this year, and he is still alive.

Hehe, I thought that I wouldn't want to celebrate my birthday, and I would just invite three or five confidants to drink a few glasses of wine.

But the children didn't agree, which bothered many relatives and friends. ” Mrs.

Li said with a red face: "In this hall, all of the old man's many years of acquaintances, all of them are old guys, Erlang's reputation, the old man's friends have all heard of it, you sit with everyone, everyone wants to meet you and get to know you."

Erlang is a young man, sitting here, I'm afraid that I won't be able to drink alcohol.

After a while, the old man's grandsons will accompany Erlang to the front to drink, and you can drink yourself, hehe" As Mrs.

Li spoke, the master of ceremonies walked up to Yang Fan and ushered him into a seat.

Yang Fan's seat is at the bottom, in terms of age, except for Duguyu, the youngest of the others present can be his grandfather, and there is nothing unconvinced, Yang Fan knelt down meticulously according to the ancient etiquette after arriving at the case, tidied up his robe, and then raised his head.

Before he could find Duguyu's location, or look at the appearance of other people, Yang Fan glanced at Li Mubai first, and then unexpectedly found that Miss Ning Ke was sitting next to Li Mubai.

She was wearing a long tuck wrapped in a deep coat, with large sleeves and half an arm, the dress was dark cyan, and the angle of her gaze was slightly wrong, and she would find that the fabric was faintly red, and she didn't know what the material was, but it added a little rosette to Ning Ke's overly white and tender face.

Her crow's hair is combed in a startling bun, like a frightened bird that is about to fly, because it is a woman who has not yet left the pavilion, and a piece of hair is left under the bun and draped behind her shoulders, like a swallowtail, which looks very elegant.

Seeing Yang Fan looking at her, Ning Ke bowed his head gracefully to him.

A white-haired old man suddenly asked, interrupting the eyebrow exchange between Yang Fan and Ning Ke: "The old man heard that Erlang is a Jiaozhi person."

Yang Fan didn't know these people, and Li Mubai didn't seem to have any intention of recommending them, today was originally the consideration of Yang Fan by all the families, and the important thing was Yang Fan's performance.

Yang Fan glanced at him and said, "It's the younger generation who grew up in Jiaozhi since childhood, and only entered Luoyang when he became an adult." ” Jiaozhi has been the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Qin Dynasty, although there have been repeated times, but in the hearts of these old men, it has always been the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, but they did not regard Yang Fan as a foreigner, but it is located in a remote area, which inevitably gives people a feeling of uncivilized.

The old man nodded and said, "Erlang is young, he has no connections in Beijing, and in just a few years, he can have great achievements, which is admirable." ” They know about the affair between Yang Fan and Princess Taiping, but Yang Fan's exploits are all based on his true ability, that is, he really has some relationship with Princess Taiping, which only provides him with an opportunity, and the important thing is that he has that ability.

In order to form alliances and alliances, families often have to marry through women, but who will attribute their merits to the marriage of their children Xue Huaiyi is the face of the female emperor, the female emperor has twice ordered him to lead the army to the battle, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, supplemented by countless famous generals and good ministers, what credit has he made Therefore, although these patriarchs had heard about Yang Fan and Princess Taiping, and believed that it was true, they did not despise him because of this, let alone attribute his achievements to the help of a woman.

If the knowledge of these patriarchs is shallow and vulgar, it is no different from that of the market.

Yang Fan owes himself and says: "The elders have won awards, and the younger generations can have today, although there are personal efforts, but there is also no lack of support and meritorious opportunities for nobles." ” This answer is not only appropriate, but also in line with the hearts of these old fellows, when people are young, they often feel that my life is not in my place, and these people from these families have a strong family background, especially so.

But the older people get, the more they are in awe of heaven and earth, and the more they feel that there is a mysterious force in the underworld that affects everything in the world.

All the elders nodded one after another, and Li Mubai saw that everyone appreciated it, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he stroked his beard with his hand, which was pleasant and happy.

At this time, an old man suddenly asked: "The old man has also heard of Erlang's heroic deeds.

For example, in Xue Yantuo, he played the Turkic Daye Protector and provoked disputes between the Ashina and Ashid tribes; In Tubo, a little trick, provoked the Tubo king and the great minister on the Qinling between the open and secret fighting, this time Wang Xiaojie sent troops to Anxi, the king of Tubo refused to send the Qinling, so that our dynasty successfully succeeded, and the Qinling was therefore more suspicious of the Tubo king, and the two sides were incompatible; Another example is the trip to southern Xinjiang" These people really know Yang Fan's deeds well, they know more than the emperor, they are horrific to hear, to put it bluntly, they are worthless, Yang Fan did not hide from the family when he did some things, and many of them were still done by the family for him.

For example, understanding the Turkic situation, infiltrating Xue Yantuo, and pretending to be Ashina Musi, Xiaofei General Zhang Yi and others who followed him all the way are the forces of the family.

Another example is the disagreement between the king and the prime minister in Tubo, all kinds of preparations before, including the Central Plains merchant who was the bait, is also a child of a family, in southern Xinjiang, Yang Fan except in Yaozhou because of the suddenness of the incident, he can only rely on himself to fight, but in the later period, the family began to participate.

This person listed all kinds of proud deeds in Yang Fan's life in one breath, saying that it was a life or some exaggeration, but how old is Yang Fan, from Ding Xiaomin in a Jiefang to the current official residence Wupin, the big things he has done during this period, how many people are poor and it is difficult to do the next thing, just with these, he is enough to laugh at the officialdom.

After finishing speaking, this person said: "The old man Guan Erlang has always done what he does, and he is the best at using wisdom.

Men fight in the world, and they like to kill the Quartet and sweep with swords, with brilliant achievements and brilliant history.

And what Erlang did, although the merit is beneficial in the present generation, is not famous, otherwise it would have been known to the world now, because Erlang had no military power in hand at that time, and he had no corresponding strength, so he had to do it as a last resort?"

Yang Fan knew that this was the old guys considering his style and method of doing things, so he replied seriously: "Wisdom and strength, if I can use both and can achieve the goal, then the younger generation will inevitably sacrifice his strength and use wisdom."

If you have to use your wisdom to achieve your goal, the younger generation will choose power.

The reason is very simple, killing a thousand, self-inflicting half a hundred, although using force is a shortcut to personal fame, it is the lives of countless people who are sacrificed.

One will be successful, all bones will be withered, and the purpose of war is to obtain, if you can use wisdom to achieve the goal, why use force to make it all the rage" Another old man laughed and said: "In this way, when Erlang does things, wisdom and strength can achieve what he wants, he must choose wisdom and abandon strength, so in Erlang's opinion, wisdom is the best means to achieve the goal?"

Yang Fan said eloquently: "The younger generation thinks that wisdom and strength are just means, and to achieve the goal, what is needed is cultural education.

And wisdom is only an outward manifestation of cultural education.

Han Gaozu once said: The brave win the world, and the planner rules the world, in fact, the world is won by force, and it also needs to be led by the plan, otherwise if you talk about the courage of the overlord, why is it Liu Bang who wins the world Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals, warmed wine and Huaxiong, galloped on the battlefield, and was frustrated and excited, but he was inevitably defeated by Maicheng.

The strategist uses wisdom, strategizes, and wins thousands of miles away, wise men such as Sun Bin, golden cicadas out of their shells, outwitted beams, and shame before the snow on Maling Road.

Heroes are only a matter of a moment, and those who can make achievements through the ages are not people who can take advantage of power, use strategy, use wisdom, and understand governance.

Mr.

Guigu once discussed the sword in Guigu: "The sword of the puppet is like the wind, and it can take people's lives; The general's sword can conquer the city and plunder the land, and shock the Quartet, but once the king's sword is used, it can pacify the princes and dominate the world. ” A white-haired old man suddenly smiled and asked, "Since Erlang is still wise, You Chongwenzhi."

Why are you laughing at those scholars in the back garden who are with mud?"
