In the small loess courtyard, there is a grape trellis.
There is a straw mat under the grape trellis.
An ordinary-looking scribe in his thirties, with a few strands of sparse beard, was sitting on a straw mat and looking at a book of bamboo slips in the bright moonlight.
The clothes on his body have been washed to the moon, and there are many patches, there is a half-eaten dry bun in the bowl next to him, there is only a water tank filled with clean water in the small courtyard made of loess, and there is a gourd scoop floating in it, and there is not much furniture in the two huts made of loess, which shows that it is cold.
However, sometimes he was fascinated, sometimes he smiled, but he was very peaceful, and he didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with the current life.
With a creak, someone pushed open the humble wooden gate of the small courtyard.
But it was an old man dressed in an ordinary linen robe and holding an old wooden staff.
The old man was short in stature, and the cheekbone on the right half of his face seemed to have been shattered, and although it had grown, it was slightly sunken, leaving a sunflower-like scar, and his left leg was lame, and even with a wooden cane, he walked slightly shaking.
Turning his head to see the short old man pushing the door in, the poor scribe immediately stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face, bowed first, and then helped the old man to sit down on the straw mat, and said with a smile: "Teacher, you are late today." ” The old man's appearance is very miserable, very pitiful, he must have suffered a lot in this life, but a pair of dim eyes are full of Lotte's well-known peace and unyielding pride, his eyes swept towards the courtyard, he also smiled slightly, and said: "There are more things to deal with today, so I came late, have you done all the homework I asked you to do yesterday?"
"The students have already done it, but I don't know if the teacher can see it thoroughly, and there are still some small questions that the teacher wants to solve."
The poor scribe smiled peacefully.
He was indeed not too good-looking, his complexion was a little yellowish, his eyes were not big enough, his eyebrows were not thick enough, and his face was a little too long, but his smile was extraordinarily approachable and modest, which made people look comfortable.
The old man in Mai, who put the old wooden staff in front of his lap, nodded and said, "Tell me about it." ” The poor scribe snorted and said: "Generally speaking, among the nine elders and eight princes of Yun Qin's pattern in the past fifty years, those nine elders and eight capitals are completely obedient to the young and strong Emperor Yun Qin, in fact, among the nine elders, except for Zhou Shoufu, who controls Zhongzhou Wei and the masters in the imperial city, who is absolutely loyal to the emperor and is the person left by the old emperor of Yun Qin to ensure that the throne is not chaotic, the other eight elders themselves are used to supervise and guard against the emperor and Qingluan Academy.
These eight elders can sit in the position behind the curtain, and there are all kinds of powerful strength hidden behind them, as for the eight divisions, it itself is the place where these nine elders play games with each other, place each other's hands, find balance with each other and select feather breeds. ” "Since ancient times, there has never been an empire that has so many figures who can compete with the emperor, and it has been able to maintain such a delicate balance.
Therefore, I admire the old emperor of Yun Qin back then, he was able to make such a layout, and at the same time, after decades of power and balance, the wisdom and means of these nine elders and eight heads must be very terrifying.
Anyone is afraid that he has the ability to govern a country.
So no matter what Yun Qin's weakening looks like on the surface, it is only on the surface, as long as this pattern is not broken, Yun Qin's opponent will always be only himself, whether it is Tang Zang or our reckless, they are not qualified. ” "Judging from the performance of these years, these nine elders are fighting with each other, but they have a common enemy, Emperor Yunqin, so although they usually have different opinions, they will definitely work together to ensure that the pattern of this senate continues to exist, and they will definitely pick out the successor they all like.
Over the years, these nine elders have been investigating candidates to replace Huang Lao, who is about to retire from illness, and according to the trajectory of the promotion of the Eighth Division and various local officials, the last chance should be the Wen family and the Leng family. ” Hearing this very seriously, the old man in Mai frowned slightly, and said, "Why do you think that the Western Military Department has no chance when it hears about Cangyue?"
"Although those elders are terrible, because they clamp each other, they will have some fixed trajectories to follow.
According to their habits, if they want to arrange to enter the highest power center of the imperial city, they must first accumulate military merits in the border army, and then transfer to the Zhongzhou Imperial City to be influenced by them, and then go to the local army, manage government affairs in various provinces, and be a local official for two or three years, and then transfer back to the imperial city of Zhongzhou, and enter the Zhengwu Division to wait step by step.
However, Wenren Cangyue had already been transferred to the Zhengwu Division before, and he was the commander of the army and horses, according to the habits of those elders, the next step must be to go to the province in the west to be the governor, make some political achievements, and then transfer back to the imperial city.
The poor scribe looked at the old man in Mai, and still modestly expounded his opinion: "But he was still sent to the Biluo border army and served as a mighty general."
Although he is equivalent to the real power of the deputy director, he has no chance to enter the senate council, according to my analysis, because he is too smart, too ruthless, and too good at great success. ” After a slight pause, he looked at the old man in Mai and added: "His personality is somewhat the same as that of the current Yunqin Emperor, if such a character goes further, even if the rest of the elders can be restrained, I don't know how much it will cost."
The most important thing is that he may have beheaded more than 1,000 innocent herdsmen to exaggerate his military exploits, which touched the bottom line of several of them. ” "You've done your homework well, and most of what you're saying is correct."
The old man in Mai took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it, and looked at the poor scribe with a warning and said, "But you still ignore a little bit, the biggest enemy of these nine elders and eight leaders is not Emperor Yunqin, but Qingluan Academy.
Because Qingluan Academy is too powerful for the emperor and them, they have made extra efforts to support Thunder Academy and Xianyi Academy over the years, wanting to replace Qingluan Academy.
It is precisely because of this joint force that so many strong people coexist in such an intricate and incredible way, making this empire extremely powerful and terrifying, because for Tang Zang and Da Mang, what they have to deal with is not one force, but nine undercurrents that are difficult to figure out.
Also, it was not that the old Emperor Yun Qin was so powerful and virtuous that it was unimaginable, but that there was Dean Zhang.
Because only a figure who is equally invincible in prestige and force can make so many strong people willing to accept such an arrangement. ” The poor scribe groaned slightly, and said, "What the teacher said is that this truth is not difficult to figure out. ” The old man in Mai nodded gently and asked, "Now there is news that Yan Shaoqing, Feng Qianhan and Ye Shaofeng set off from the imperial city and went to Qingluan Academy, headed by Yan Shaoqing, what do you think about this matter?"
The poor scribe groaned slightly again, and quickly replied, "According to the teacher's point of awakening, the students want to understand that the foundation of Yunqin Academy is still in Qingluan Academy.
In addition to Dean Zhang, those old people in Qingluan Academy, as well as the large number of lecturers, are extremely terrifying forces.
The most important thing is that it is precisely because of such a powerful and terrifying threat as Qingluan Academy that has been pressing on the heads of the Emperor and the Senate, whether this threat really exists or not, but after all, this is the foundation that makes Yun Qin, the supreme power of the sorcerer, form a joint force.
However, Emperor Yunqin was too young and too vigorous, and he felt that he should be able to control Qingluan Academy and the Senate Council, so he would be led by Yan Shaoqing, and wanted Qingluan Academy to show its absolute allegiance to him and the Yunqin Empire.
However, it is impossible for the nine elders not to understand this truth, so the final result of this matter should be that they will let Qingluan Academy make some concessions, force Qingluan Academy to make some changes, weaken some strength, Thunder Academy and Xianyi Academy have no shortage of excellent students, and some lecturers of Qingluan Academy themselves want to change, I boil it down to some people who are finally Dean Zhang and the academy, and some people always think that Yun Qin's interests are above the academy and loyal to the Yun Qin Emperor and the empire.
Therefore, in the end, I am afraid that Qingluan Academy will give up some of the pills and cultivation methods that the emperor and the senators are most interested in. ” The old man in Mai had the same complexion, but he was very appreciative in his heart, and he had come to such a conclusion just through the dead information, and the eyes of his student were probably no longer below him.
"Then what do you think the Great Mang Dynasty can do now," he asked, looking at the poor scribe.
The poor scribe looked at the old man in Mai and said, "Now Da Mang has two visible opportunities, the first opportunity is to the west of Yunqin.
Wenren Cangyue is too smart and too ambitious, with a person like him, he is absolutely unwilling to accept the fact of defeat, according to the means of those elders, this time the Qingwang heavy armor must be related to his western border army in the future, so he will definitely be impatient, with his strength and character, he may make a big mistake if he is impatient.
The purpose of those elders was just to make him lose his qualification to enter the Council of Elders, but we can make him make his mistakes bigger and make Yun Qin's opening collapse even bigger.
And another opportunity lies in Qingluan Academy, the more Qingluan Academy is weakened, the more beneficial it will naturally be for Da Mang.
The weaker the Qingluan Academy, the more serious their own divisions will be.
Emperor Yun Qin must have used the critical situation of Yun Qin as an excuse to attack Qingluan Academy this time, and the nine elders themselves will cooperate with us, if we push hard, we will be able to make Emperor Yun Qin have more reasons.
Anyway, this year's harvest is good, and the situation is unprecedentedly stable, so that the dynasty army can move, and they will all take turns to fight a small battle, and they can also improve the combat power of some troops. ” "Good."
The old man in Mai nodded again, and asked again, "Do you have any other small questions that I want to solve?"
"I've been trying to study the temperament of the nine patriarchs lately, and ask the teacher if they have been sitting behind a curtain because they don't want the other to see their current situation, in addition to giving people a sense of oppression from the powerful and powerful."

"Yes, but in addition to the two points you said, I am afraid that they are not willing to see each other's faces, because they are like a mirror between them, and if they see them, I am afraid that they will remember some things that they have done and are unwilling to do, and they will think of many unpleasant things, which makes them very uncomfortable."
The old man in Mai chatted with the poor scribe for a long time, and it was not until the middle of the moon that the old man in Mai got up to leave.
Passing through a dark alley, the old man in Mai, supported by an old servant, got into a luxurious carriage waiting, and slowly left the streets and alleys full of poor families, and walked towards the brightly lit bustling city in the distance.
"I have accepted a good student, I am afraid that I will be better than blue, I am very pleased" After walking out for a while, the old man lying on the soft couch in the carriage seemed to feel bored about the journey, and seemed to be unable to hold back the appreciation in his heart, and let out a sigh.
"Ahh In this Damang King City, the only one who dares to call himself me is naturally the emperor of the Damang Dynasty, Zhan Tai.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have thought that it would be an old man with such a miserable appearance who started as an ordinary border soldier and finally established the Da Mang Dynasty.
At present, this prestigious old emperor does not have half a point of domineering majesty, he and this mute old servant seem to have a very good relationship, looking at the other party's sign language, he smiled slightly, and said: "You are asking me why I didn't take him into the palace, that is not yet the time to use his talent, just look at the things I gave him, listen to some of my teachings, how can you not deduce my identity Since you know my identity, you naturally have expectations in your heart, and the more you can endure loneliness, the more honor and disgrace you are, the more worthy of the future will be." ”:
