Bailu, the solar terms 15 th, the night the vegetation sees the dew, the swan goose Namtu hibernation. 白露,二十四节气第十五,夜来草木见露水,鸿雁南渡避寒。 Ningzhou prestige Ze district, as on the district, has district Wei two, in the winter of last year the end, outsider Song Keli came this to proceed to new official post, bandits suppression powerfully, even/including Poma bandits and rebels nest size more than ten, the Ningzhou highwaymen were panic at the news, when entered the summer, this little Song Commandant gave Ningzhou to puncture Shi Residence not to have the indication the government position, at home several months, the room has leaked at ease meets even the night rain, the wedding that an originally has roughly come to an arrangement about also gave yellow, that woman was the family treasure of prestige Ze district middle-grade gateway, but also cannot call the lady of gate prominent family or scholarly family, compared with originally future exquisite silk young Commandant, has the suspicion of seeking friendships, may compare to later commoner's Song Keli of body, was naturally suffering. The wedding causes trouble, has not lived too much mighty waves in prestige Ze county. After all Ningzhou places the national capital south, state family members are staring at the Western Chu duplicate/restores country on Guangling Circuit, who can give a thought to daily necessities that goes down in the world the scholar? The neighborhood relations, met will also shout little Song Commandant, government don't hit a person when he's down that most common people did not like responding this no backer. However a dusk of Bailu, an old Confucian scholar of double temple efflorescence enters the county, without asking the way, arrived directly had moved from Song Ke the ritual private residence in county administration, out of the door stopped is harnessing the small carriage, being insufficient made one feel the infrequently visited, old Confucian scholar looked at that delicate and pretty face in a curtain screen corner/horn, pitiful intimate, woman saw that this house had the guest visit, was somewhat astonished, put down the curtain screen slowly, the carriage drives out of the alley slowly. The old Confucian scholar pushes the door to enter directly, Song Keli is glancing through a royal government gazette that in the institute plies the connections to come, after seeing the ordinary Confucian scholar, a face is pleasantly surprised, puts the government gazette on the stone table, rushes to set out, bows in salute to salute saying: „Late fresh has seen a Yuan mister.” 宁州威泽县,身为上县,配有县尉两名,去年冬末,外乡人宋恪礼来此赴任,剿匪有力,连破马贼匪窝大小十余处,宁州响马闻风丧胆,只是入夏之际,这名小宋都尉就给宁州刺史府毫无征兆地罢去官职,至今已经闲散在家数月,屋漏偏逢连夜雨,一桩原本已经大致谈妥的婚事也给黄了,那女子是威泽县中等门户的小家碧玉,还称不上公门望族或是书香门第的大家闺秀,比起原先前程锦绣的年轻都尉,是有高攀之嫌,可比起之后白丁之身的宋恪礼,自然是委屈了。婚事生变,在威泽县城内也没有生起太多波澜。毕竟宁州身处京畿之南,一州老小都在盯着广陵道上的西楚复国,谁顾得上一个落魄读书人的柴米油盐？邻里关系好的,见面还会喊一声小宋都尉,大多数百姓都不爱搭理这位没什么靠山的官场落水狗。不过白露时分的一个黄昏,一名双鬓霜白的老儒生进入县城,也没有问路,就径直走到了早已搬离县衙的宋恪礼私宅,门外停着一驾小马车,才不至于让人觉着门可罗雀,老儒生看了眼帘子一角内的那张清秀脸庞,凄凄惨惨戚戚的,女子见到这栋宅子有客来访,有些讶异,缓缓放下帘子,马车缓缓驶出小巷。老儒生直接推门而入,宋恪礼正在院中翻阅一份托关系要来的朝廷邸报,见着貌不惊人的儒生之后,一脸惊喜,把邸报搁在石桌上,赶忙起身,作揖行礼道:“晚生见过元先生。” Person of Hanlin Academy that eccentric senior academician Yuan Park visit, this academician senior and his words, the victory read ten years of saints and sages book. Song Keli almost must consider in Hanlin Academy a Yuan mister to write the spoken language above xuan paper every day carefully on the same day, „gentleman had three not to attend, Qi did not attend to practicing moral culture/slim fit, rules a nation does not attend to Qi, even world not Gu Zhiguo.” „The world country suffers a defeat and flees, cannot escape accumulates gradually two character cause of disaster. The world country emerges, cannot leave accumulates gradually two character merit.” Initially put in order Tai'an City to look at their Song Family joke, the Song Family two master who dominated the literary arena indanthrene, his grandfather irritated the sickbed, the reputation completely destroys, his father censured Capital City, is unable to become an official for a lifetime. But his once Song Family young phoenix, was exiled Ningzhou prestige Ze district that the barren mountains and untamed rivers highwayman created disaster, this is also not what tragedy, after he pleaded on behalf of the people made a performance, first is the senior official in county mansion, subsequently was the Ningzhou provincial governor mansion, some people intended to suppress in him, but this regarding Song Keli, in the heart not accumulated depressed, made Song Keli feel that what truly was vacant was a matter, the common people who these short six months receive his Song Commandant many kindness, instead followed these county administration colleague together supercilious look taunts. However Song Keli does not want to complain, only except for at present this bit palace gate Yuan Park. Because Song Keli had a lot of inopportune, wanted to consult in Hanlin Academy oneself on the mister of can be popular with this. 来访之人正是翰林院那个性格孤僻的老翰林元朴,也正是这位翰林前辈与他一席话,胜读十年圣贤书。宋恪礼几乎每日都要细细思量当日翰林院内元先生写在宣纸之上的言语,“士有三不顾,齐家不顾修身,治国不顾齐家,平天下不顾治国。”“天下家国败亡,逃不出积渐二字祸根。天下家国兴起,离不开积渐二字功劳。”当初整座太安城都在看他们宋家的笑话,称霸文坛士林的宋家两夫子,他爷爷气死病榻,名声尽毁,他父亲贬出京城,一辈子无法出仕。而他这位曾经的宋家雏凤,也被流放到了穷山恶水响马为患的宁州威泽县,这还不算什么惨事,当他为民请命做出一番业绩后,先是郡府内的高官,继而是宁州刺史府邸,都有人先后出手打压于他,但这对于宋恪礼而言,心中并无积郁,真正让宋恪礼感到茫然的是一件事,那些短短半年内就受过他宋都尉许多恩惠的百姓,反而跟着那些县衙同僚一起白眼嘲讽。但是宋恪礼并不想与人诉苦,唯独除了眼前这位元黄门元朴。因为宋恪礼有一肚子不合时宜,想要与这位在翰林院自己就吃不香的先生请教。 After Song Keli and others a Yuan mister took a seat, asked respectfully: „How did mister come to prestige Ze district?” 宋恪礼等元先生落座后,毕恭毕敬问道:“先生怎么来威泽县了？” Liked writing more than Yuan Park of speech to take up that government gazette, is studies probably too, the eye was not good, carries high several points, glanced over carefully, after putting down gently, started talking, was still unclear, „too many years have not left Tai'an City, want to walk to look.” 原本喜欢写字多于说话的元朴拿起那份邸报,大概是读书太多,眼睛不好,拎高了几分,仔细浏览了一遍,轻轻放下后,开口说话,依旧含糊不清,“太多年没有离开过太安城,就想走出去看一看。” At this point, the venerable somewhat sighs with emotion: „After Wang Xianzhi goes out of Martial Emperor City, Tai'an City had a old friend also to walk.” 说到这里,老先生有些感慨道:“王仙芝走出武帝城后,太安城有一位故人也走了。” Yuan plain Wang to Song Keli, came straight to the point saying: „Ningzhou horse Huan is difficult to change, has the root, this is a board game piece on checkerboard, said that greatly loudly says slightly big, but your bystander wanted to go to the board game piece, the old some people of playing chess, will make you die.” 元朴望向宋恪礼,开门见山说道:“宁州马患积重难返,是有根源的,这不过是棋盘上的一颗棋子,说大不大说小不小,可你一个人外人想要去动棋子,旧有的下棋之人,是会让你死的。” Song Keli nods, feels relaxed saying: „As I expected, Ningzhou these years swarm, but the mounted bandit is beginning of that Cao Changqing.” 宋恪礼点了点头,释然道:“果然如我所料,宁州这些年蜂拥而起的马贼是那曹长卿的落子。” Yuan plain Danran said: „Cao Changqing in 20 years, may not have to idle, Western Chu died achieved high of Zhao Gou three hands, this person proposed 17 years ago, must secure in the Guangling Circuit each region army five plant the secret agent, in this year's this Xiangfu first year early spring, these ambushes for many years mostly to achieve the Commandant Colonel spy child, mentioned accurately is 367 people, half died a violent death, backbone character who half become the Western Chu rebel army. This, plans more than ten years of Ministry of War with Zhao Gou jointly, has not expected completely. Ministry of War Shangshu Lu Baijie this little while is beset with problems, leaves a legacy of trouble the enormous relations with this matter. Otherwise you think where Western Chu elite that comes so many in one battlefield to die to fight?” 元朴淡然道:“曹长卿在20年里,可没有闲着,还有一名西楚死间做到了赵勾三把手的高位,正是此人在十七年前就提出,要在广陵道各地军伍之中安植密探,在今年这个祥符元年的早春,那些潜伏多年大多已经做到都尉校尉的谍子,准确说来是三百六十七人,半数暴毙,半数则成为了西楚叛军的中坚人物。这一手,是与赵勾联手谋划十多年的兵部,完全没有预料到的。兵部尚书卢白颉这会儿捉襟见肘,跟此事遗祸有极大关系。否则你以为西楚哪来那么多一上沙场就可死战的精锐？” Song Keli was astonished. 宋恪礼一脸愕然。 Yuan plain Shuangzhi gathered on the stone table wiped horizontally, said hoarsely: „Bureau size, toward big said, is reducing feudatories, draws in the national strength, is popular the imperial civil service examination, damps the military person, in the final analysis, to swallow Beimang, monopolizes, completes the magnificent feat that 800 years of Great Qin dynasty has not made, draws back again one step, will be a somebody's eternity emperor.” 元朴双指并拢在石桌上横抹了一下,沙哑说道:“局分大小,往大了说,是削藩,是收拢国力,是兴科举,是抑武人,说到底,是为了吞掉北莽,一统天下,完成八百年大秦王朝也没有做成的壮举,再退一步,是某人的千古一帝。” The Yuan plain finger vertical stroke delimited, „toward small said slightly, is forces Beiliang Prince to divert Beimang with the complete family belongings, limits Gu Jiantang in the north line, this is the open intrigue. Takes the Western Chu duplicate/restores country as the bait, exhausts Guangling Prince the major Regional Prince strengths and ambitions, a place military force of buckle Gu Lu department, and fishes Yanchi Prince Zhao Bing this big fish that by this occupies at the right place at the right time, this is the plot. Two generations of Beiliang Prince, the fearful place lies in having 300,000 vigor army, the respectable place lies in the father and son two manpower grasps the authority, will not actually revolt, the place of feeling sorry for lies in the Liyang royal government regardless of your Beiliang counter- not instead, wants your Xu Family to lose everything.” 元朴手指竖划了一下,“稍稍往小了说,是逼迫北凉王用全部家当牵制北莽,是将顾剑棠局限在北线,这是阳谋。以西楚复国为鱼饵,耗去广陵王在内各大藩王的实力和野心,折损顾庐一系的地方军力,并且以此钓出燕敕王赵炳这条占据地利人和的大鱼,这是阴谋。两代北凉王,可怕之处在于有三十万劲军,可敬之处在于父子二人手握权柄,却不会造反,可怜之处在于离阳朝廷不论你北凉反不反,都要你徐家倾家荡产。” The Yuan plain Tankai palm, scratched scratching on the desktop, „life is helpless, wants to kill me like Xu Xiao by any means possible, but he, even if 300,000 armies, groups of people ready dead proceed to the capital, actually cannot massacre. Empties like Cao Changqing greatly loosely, actually downed on one's luck, lives in Western Chu. Like Zhang Julu, does one's best, seeks the welfare for the world common people, actually must face a handing down imperial power from generation to generation current political situation. Like Xu Fengnian, won Wang Xianzhi, then must face the Beimang 1 million cavalries. Their helplessness, was your Song Keli it, greatly is small?” 元朴摊开手掌,在桌面上擦了擦,“人生无奈,就像徐骁千方百计想杀我,可他哪怕有三十万大军,一拨拨死士赴京,却始终杀不掉。就像曹长卿空有大风流,却时运不济,生在了西楚。就像张巨鹿,鞠躬尽瘁,为天下苍生谋福祉,却要面对一个家天下的时局。就像徐凤年,胜了王仙芝,接下来还要面对北莽百万铁骑。他们的无奈,你宋恪礼比之,是大是小？” Song Keli stared dumbfounded, „Yuan mister?” 宋恪礼瞠目结舌,“元先生？” Yuan Park smiles. 元朴笑了笑。 Song Keli stood up suddenly, bowed with hands clasped, terrified say/way: „Song Keli paid a visit the Yuan mister!” 宋恪礼猛然站起身,一揖到底,惶恐不安道:“宋恪礼拜见元先生！” This does obeisance, does obeisance that Emperor Tai'an City the master, half inch tongue „Yuan Benxi”! 这一拜,是拜那位太安城帝师,半寸舌“元本溪”！ Yuan Benxi has not paid attention to Song Keli treating a matter seriously, tranquil say/way: „I should not see you early, but I treat for a lifetime in that city, early period of Spring and Autumn, I am a peon, a that Xun Ping character, uses compared with my several jin (0.5 kg) saliva. Spring and Autumn final stage, my anything matter may not be done. Now on the checkerboard begins to take root, according to the view of Huang Longshi, goes the fields the farm, interesting is not waiting for the huge harvest at home, but goes to the edge to look at golden yellow of Tianlongli with own eyes. Moreover you are not suitable continue to stay in prestige Ze district, might as well looks at the scene that the gunsmoke rises from all directions with me together, otherwise our scholars were only on the mouth said that even if truly thinking the sorrowful livelihood of the people at heart difficult, but how the common people were a distress did not understand in the end, was extremely rather laughable.” 元本溪没有理睬宋恪礼的郑重其事,平静道:“我本不该这么早见你,只不过我一辈子都待在那座城里,春秋前期,我不过是一个无名小卒,那荀平的一个字,比我几斤口水还有用。春秋尾期,又已经没有我什么事情可做了。如今棋盘上落子生根,按照黄龙士的看法,下田种地,有趣的不是在家等着大丰收,而是亲眼去田边看一眼田垄里的金黄。而且你也不宜继续留在威泽县,不妨与我一同看一看硝烟四起的场景,否则咱们读书人光是嘴上说,哪怕心里确实想着哀民生之多艰,可到头来连老百姓到底是如何个苦楚都不了解,未免太过可笑。” Song Keli the look was bright, is joyful: „Late lives to hope for the Yuan mister foot soldier attendant.” 宋恪礼眼神熠熠,欣喜道:“晚生愿为元先生马前卒。” Yuan Benxi nods, asks: „I am just now seeing woman in lane, you feel compared with it that to see one side you, does not hesitate to leave Your Highness Princess in Capital City secretly, how?” 元本溪点了点头,问道:“方才我见着了巷中的女子,你觉得比之那个为了见你一面,不惜偷偷离开京城的公主殿下,如何？” Song Keli had nothing to say in reply suddenly, does not know how to answer. 宋恪礼一时间无言以对,不知如何作答。 A descendant of the imperial family who is the look loses face/shows off, one is the family treasure of posture of person, how ratio? 一个是相貌出彩的金枝玉叶,一个是中人之姿的小家碧玉,怎么比？ The Yuan Benxi look somewhat moves fast, sighs: „Male and female circumstances, some humanities are the good people, is good to you, this naturally is the good fortune, but not necessarily is the opposite party really has likes you. Some person temper are bad, is willing to change extremely numerous for you, actually really likes you. That Zhao woman, is willing to take risk to leave Beijing to look for you, will not actually attend to family abandoning absolutely, when to both took one, will abandon you to go. But Liu woman in street, the temper is lukewarm, can actually be reckless for you mostly, the life and death follows. World person, always thinks that has the status character to pay, is then grateful, raises regarding the close parents, helping support the family that giving everything one has relief that poor friend, wife, the feelings are not instead profound.” 元本溪眼神有些飘忽,叹息道:“男女情事,有些人本就是好人,对你好,这自然是幸事,但未必是对方真的有多喜欢你。有些人性子差,肯为你改变极多,却是真的喜欢你。那位赵姓女子,愿意冒险离京找你,却绝对不会对家族弃之不顾,到了两者取一之时,会弃你而去。而巷弄里的刘姓女子,性子温吞,却多半能为你不顾一切,生死相随。世间人,总以为有身份的人物付出一些,便感激涕零,对于近在咫尺的父母养育,贫寒朋友的倾囊救济,结发妻子的相夫教子,反而感触不深。” Song Keli bitter and astringent say/way: „Late fresh listened to reason.” 宋恪礼略带苦涩道:“晚生受教了。” Yuan Benxi sits stone Deng suddenly, „speech ratio worked is really is more tired, with liquor.” 元本溪突然坐回石凳,“说话比做事确是累多了,拿酒来。” Song Keli hurried to run to go to the room to look for the liquor. 宋恪礼赶紧跑去屋子里找酒。 Yuan Benxi thought aloud: „If not Beimang, has Beiliang 300,000, Western Chu how, Zhao Bing Zhao Yi these imperial clan can Regional Prince such as what?” 元本溪自言自语道:“如果不是北莽,有北凉三十万,西楚如何,赵炳赵毅这些宗室藩王又如能何？” Yuan Benxi self-ridicules saying: „I am also helpless person.” 元本溪自嘲道:“我亦是无奈人啊。”
