Next day, Zhang Yu changed the teacher long gown, takes Xia Sword, the step academy, takes the carriage toward east the line. 次日,张御换上了师教袍服,带上夏剑,步出学宫,就乘坐马车往东而行。 Protectorate has the status Political Council government officials is likes living in the city east, here occupies a land area of quite vast, the topography is also high, scenery ready, the forest is dense, the environment is lonesome and quiet. 都护府多数有身份的都堂官吏都是喜欢居住在城东,这里占地较为广大,地势也是较高,山水俱备,林木森森,环境幽静。 Zhang Yu is also the head returns to this, comes, he noticed that almost all housings have the oneself private residence and forest park in this's people, or are hidden in the deep forest, or is situated in above high mound, either is located in the bank of mountain stream. 张御也是头回到此,一路过来,他看到几乎所有居住在此的人都有自己的私宅和林苑,或藏于深林之内,或立于高丘之上,或位于溪水之畔。 To reside in this place, if has nothing the status of Political Council government official, that every year needs to pay number enormous gold, therefore except for the government official, can live here, was some great merchant big merchants. 只是想居于此间,若无有都堂官吏的身份,那每年都需要付出一笔数目极大的金元,所以除了官吏,能住在这里的,就是一些巨商大贾了。 About car dealership half a Xia hour, stayed before a mansion. 车行半个夏时左右,就停留在了一座大宅之前。 Has the porter early and others here, sees the carriage to arrive, immediately gets down asking ritual, meets admission letter, waited not long, then to see the front door to open, one group of people welcomed from. 早有守门人等在这里,见马车到来,立刻下来问礼,将拜贴接去,等了没有多久,便见大门开启,一群人自里迎了出来。 Zhang Yu looked at the past, what saw in the forefront was one wears the headwrap head, wore the circle to get the scarlet robe, the facial expression mature man, this should be Jiang Dingyi. 张御看过去,见走在最前面的是一个戴着幞头,身着圆领赤袍,貌相成熟的男子,这应该就是蒋定易了。 He sized up, this person roughly forty years of age age upward, relaxed eyebrows and bright eyes, mild elegant, but it also follows behind a large crowd, looked that many are two eyes are bright, physique strong generation. 他打量了一下,此人约莫四旬往上的年纪,舒眉朗目,温润尔雅,而其身后还跟着一大群人,看去多数都是两目有神,筋骨强健之辈。 Jiang Dingyi sees Zhang Yu to stand there, sleeve robe floating swayed, if with the immortal wind, the facial expression is also the slightly reveal exclamation, but restrains quickly, comes up joins palms and bows, said with a smile: „Gentleman Zhang, the having wanted to meet you for a long time elegant demeanor, sees today, really worthily is immortal cultivator beyond the mundane world, Profound Mansion celestial/heaven and man.” 蒋定易见到张御站在那里,袖袍飘摆,若携仙风,神情也是微露惊叹,但又很快收敛,上来合手一揖,笑道:“张君,久慕风采,今日一睹,果然不愧是世外仙修,玄府天人。” Zhang Yu also has a ritual, said: „manager overpraised.” 张御还有一礼,道:“从事过誉了。” Jiang Dingyi one hear of he uses this name, is appropriate on the county magistrate, was very at heart happy. 蒋定易一听他用这个称呼,就知事已妥当,心里很是高兴。 Although he lives in high position, is not person of the mechanical enforcing, instead is very charming, salutes upon meeting after him, said with a smile: „Joint Administrator Zhang, today I am talking about personal friendship with you, should not have this many people, is only the sharp sword hanging arch, this is also helpless the action,” he referred to the oneself head, said: „This excellent head keeps this me most to feel relieved.” 他虽身居高位,可不是一刻板严肃之人,反而很是风趣,与他见礼后,就笑道:“张参治,今日本是我与你论私谊,本不该有这许多人,只是利剑悬顶,此也是无奈之举,”他指了指自己脑袋,道:“这大好头颅还是留在这处我最放心呐。” Zhang Yu can understand actually, still who knows some people must assassinate oneself, perhaps also rests does not put the head on the pillow, are many some people in side, no matter useful useless, at least looks at also feels at ease. 张御倒是能够理解,仍谁知道有人要刺杀自己,恐怕也是睡不安枕,多些人在旁,不管有用没用,至少看着也是心安。 Discussed several outside after slightly, Jiang Dingyi then asked him to enter in the dwelling. 在外稍稍谈论几句后,蒋定易便请他进入宅院中。 This is a Celestial Xia style private garden, constructs in an occupying land area large live basin, the one after another fine unique water porch circles in this time link, the height distribution, can be called is everywhere all the scenery. 这是一处天夏风格的私园,建于一处占地颇大的活水池上,一座座精美别致的水廊在此回环相绕,高低分布,称得上是处处皆景。 In the basin has islet land Xiangzhou, the flying rainbow porch room, and embellishes by the tea-stall, obviously also many cloud hair-bun slender waists holds the leaf of female contact to swim for fun, plays a flute to play a qin, causes several immortal crane in waterside pavilion to dance lightly. 水池之中有屿陆香洲,飞虹廊屋,并以歇亭点缀,可见其中还有不少云鬟纤腰的捧扇女子往来嬉游,还有吹箫抚琴,引得水榭里的几头仙鹤翩然起舞。 The Jiang Dingyi belt/bring welcome him to above hydrographic institute that a three layers building that was located in Xiangzhou, but these followed attendant that he came and went out mostly to stay outside, be only one about 20 -year-old held sword youngster with. 蒋定易带将他请到了一座位于香洲的三层楼的水院之上,而那些跟随他出入的随从大多都被留在了外面,只有一个二十岁左右的持剑年轻人跟了上来。 Zhang Yu can look, this youngster should cultivation some breathing techniques. 张御能看得出来,这个年轻人应该修炼过一些吐纳术。 This is not strange, passing old cultivator has handed down much for the method of breathing the healthy body builds up strength, but these people do not get true inheritance , can only the strong body, or compared with on average man many, but is unable to march into the cultivation access. 这不奇怪,过往旧修传下过不少用于健体强身的吐纳之法,只是这些人不得真传,也只能强健身躯,或比常人强上许多,可并无法步入修炼门径。 Two people sit well on watchtower of hydrographic institute highest place, here leans against a railing to look, breeze slow to come, the under lotus spreads over a wide area, interweaves red green, lotus leaves are floating, has crane leap through the sky to fly occasionally, it may be said that scenery pleasant, the scenery is just right. 两人在水院最高处的望台上坐定下来,这里凭栏而望,微风徐来,下方荷花开遍,红绿交织,藕叶浮波,偶有鹤鸟跃空飞过,可谓景物怡人,风光正好。 Jiang Dingyi talked several with him, said apologetically: „Gentleman Zhang, I, although is manager, may according to the yamen custom , can only to you duty of the joint administrator, by the Gentleman Zhang skill, truly somewhat put in great inconvenience to you.” 蒋定易与他交谈了几句,就略带歉然道:“张君,我虽是从事,可按衙署规矩,也只能给你一个参治之职,以张君的本事,确实有些委屈你了。” Zhang Yu said: „manager speaks discreetly, Yu is a cultivator, after this matter, must rotate Profound Mansion.” 张御道:“从事言重,御是一修行之人,此事过后,还是要回转玄府的。” Two talents said few, attendant comes up from, whispered with that young guard, the latter then turned toward two people to walk, to Jiang Dingyi cups the hands, was saying: „manager......” 两人才说了没几句,有一个役从从下方上来,和那个年轻护卫低语一声,后者便向着两人走了过来,对着蒋定易一拱手,道:“从事……” Jiang Dingyi is disgruntled: „I have not confessed that I and Gentleman Zhang spoke, do not come to disturb?” 蒋定易不悦道:“我不是交代过,我与张君说话,不要过来打扰么？” That young guard busy say/way: „Was Master Qin came back......” 那年轻护卫忙道:“是秦师回来了……” The Jiang Dingyi tone said lightly: „My words did not want to say again second.” 蒋定易语气平淡道:“我的话不希望再说第二遍。” Although he has not lost one's temper, may have an impressive and dignified manner, that young guard does not dare to say again, lowers the head saying: „Yes.” Holds the fist in the other hand, then drew back slowly. 虽然他没有动怒,可却自有一股威仪,那年轻护卫不敢再说,低头道:“是。”一抱拳,便缓缓退了下去。 Jiang Dingyi has turned round, was saying to Zhang Yu: „Gentleman Zhang no wonder, my present depends on Sword Master Qin protection that this good friend recommends, that Little Zhan is his apprentice, Sword Master Qin this person of sword technique is good, is the personality somewhat is arrogant, and there is an arrogant air/Qi, although I do not like him, but must use his.” 蒋定易回过身来,对着张御道:“张君莫怪,我身边如今就靠这位好友推荐的秦剑师护持,那个小展就是他的徒弟,秦剑师这人剑术是不错,就是性情有些倨傲,且有矜骄之气,我虽不怎么喜欢他,可仍是要用他的。” Zhang Yu can feel at this moment, under has one like the raging fire same scalding hot aura, should be that Sword Master Qin, although that person is not cultivator, but from the aura, almost reached the limit that the average man can reach. 张御此刻能感觉到,下方有一个如同烈火一样的灼热气息,应该就是那个秦剑师了,其人虽不是修炼者,但从气息上看,也差不多达到常人可以达到的极限了。 Resembled these only to study several seal profound cultivator, upfront fighting, but also really not necessarily was this person opponent. If again divine weapon sharp weapon in the hand, that may display several times in self strength. 似那些只学了几个章印的玄修,正面搏杀,还真不一定是这个人对手。要是再有一把神兵利器的在手,那更可发挥数倍于己的战力。 Has such person, generally does not need to fear others to assassinate, if has different god and superior strength meddles, that exceeded the limit that person can deal with. 有这样的人在,一般也就无需惧怕他人刺杀了,可是若有异神和超常力量插手的话,那就超出其人所能应付的极限了。 Two people in this appreciates the beautiful scene, judges tea the exchange, the topic involves to the folk custom from the scenery local scenery, is discusses really happy, Jiang Dingyi a thread of conversation revolution, said at this time: „Gentleman Zhang, does not know that you pattern do know about Protectorate's at the present?” 两人在此边是欣赏美景,边是品茶交流,话题从山水风物到民间习俗都有涉及,也是相谈甚欢,蒋定易这时话锋一转,道:“张君,不知你对都护府的而今格局可是了解么？” The Zhang Yu nod said: „Knows slightly.” 张御点头道:“略微知晓一些。” Jiang Dingyi stood up, comes to the jade parapet by, crosses the hands behind the back the looks at distant place, sighed: „Since 60 years ago Hong River one post-war, Celestial Xia heroes are gravely waning in my Protectorate, Chaos Tide will draw back at the present, the will of the people are volatile, in Political Council has many people actually to think advances the beacon-fire, the intention and Celestial Xia no longer contact, snort/hum, how could I made them achieve wishes!” 蒋定易站了起来,来至玉栏杆旁,负手看着远方,感叹道:“自从六十年前洪河一战后,我都护府中的天夏英锐尽丧,而今浊潮将退,人心动荡,都堂中有不少人却在想着推到烽火,意图与天夏不复往来,哼,我岂能让他们如愿！” He turns around, sighed: „Pitifully, now the Commandery standpoint is also indecisive, if Chief Commander Yang Xuan can be firmer in the past, was not present.” 他转过身来,叹道:“可惜了,现在都督府的立场也是摇摆不定,若是当年杨宣大都督能够坚定一些,也不会是如今局面了。” Zhang Yu thinking moment, approves of this opinion. 张御思索片刻,也是赞同这个意见。 In the past after Chaos Tide arrived, Blood Sun Ancient Country from the recovery, many previous era ancient god and innumerable soldiers woke up from long sleep. 当年浊潮到来后,血阳古国从复苏,诸多上个纪元的古代神明和无数战士从长眠中醒来。 Facing such as the tide such as the enemy of sea, establishes 40 years of Protectorate to be in imminent danger, at that time Chief Commander Guan Zheng took the bull by the horns, the leading personally army meets head-on. 面对如潮如海的敌人,建立才四十年的都护府岌岌可危,当时关征大都督当机立断,亲率大军迎战。 The victory that this fights is very big, Gods that Blood Sun Ancient Country just now recovers nearly all extinguishes, but the Protectorate similar loss is serious, Chief Commander Guan Zheng oneself died in battle, the elite army ten do not save one, afterward the major damage of Profound Mansion and Divine Army came from this war. 这一战的战果很大,血阳古国方才复苏的神众近乎全灭,可都护府同样损失惨重,关征大都督本人战死,精锐军队十不存一,后来玄府及神尉军的主要损失就是来自这一战。 May come the enemy, although retreats temporarily, actually still the part of influences existed, and drew support from Mountain of Serenity the ancient altar to offer sacrifices wantonly, recovered god again, simultaneously in the name of Blood Sun Ancient Country, summoned to gather inland many uncivilized nationalities tribe different god. 可来敌虽然暂时退去,却仍有一部分势力存在,并借助安山之中古代祭坛大肆献祭,再度复苏神明,同时以血阳古国的名义,召聚内陆诸多蛮族部落异神。 Vice Commander Yang Gong succeeded the Chief Commander position at this time, after detecting this situation, performs to send Protectorate's Celestial Xia under 60 years old adult male, initiates an attack, after paying enormous price, causes heavy losses to Blood Sun Ancient Country again, because of Chaos Tide still, if not for stops the source, the opposite party still had the recovery to be possible. 副都督杨恭此时继任了大都督位置,在察觉到这个情况后,尽发都护府的天夏六十岁之下成年男子,主动出击,在付出极大代价后,再次重创血阳古国,但因为浊潮仍在,若不是将源头制止,对方仍有复苏可能。 When the Yang Gong preparation advances troops, actually discovered an issue, side oneself already not many Celestial Xia soldiers. But because he is injured quite heavily, is unable to lead personally. 杨恭准备进兵时,却发现了一个问题,自己身边已经没有多少天夏士卒了。而他本人因为受伤颇重,也无法亲自带队了。 In this case, his ordering makes the oneself son Yang Xuan conscription go north. 在这个情况下,他下令让自己的儿子杨宣征兵北上。 Yang Xuan is the Xia serenese hybrid, his mother is serenese female tribe chief, but he from small was gradually influenced by Celestial Xia rites and music deeply, can be a legitimate Celestial Xia person. 杨宣是夏安混血,其母是安人的一位女酋首,不过他自小深受天夏礼乐熏陶,算得上是一个正统的天夏人。 After he receives the order again, commandeered the 60.000 army again, more than half is the serenese soldier, remaining is Celestial Xia old soldier and hybrid descendants. 他再接到命令后,再次征发了六万大军,其中半数以上是安人战士,剩下的则是天夏老卒和混血族裔。 That person is being the Hong River Pass time, after Yang Gong has confessed the last words, on the wound heavily dies, but under Yang Xuan in all parties witness are elected as Chief Commander, making the soldier enter Mountain of Serenity, counts the war one after another, sweeps situated in the west of the Mountain of Serenity influence Blood Sun Ancient Country, in the ancient times the altar also overthrew all, obtained the brilliant achievement. 其人在达到洪河隘口时候,杨恭交代过遗言后,就伤重身死,而杨宣在各方见证之下被推举为大都督,引兵进入安山,接连数战,将血阳古国位于安山以西的势力扫荡一空,古代祭坛也是尽数推翻,取得了辉煌战果。 Blood Sun Ancient Country still had remaining power to run into the Mountain of Serenity deep place, after this is also Commandery, faces biggest troublesome. 只是血阳古国仍是有残余势力逃入了安山深处,这也是都督府以后所面临的最大麻烦。 But transition here. 可转折就在这里。 Some many traditional factions believe that if Yang Xuan at that time firm standing in Profound Mansion academy this school, then gathers Profound Mansion and Political Council strength, presses promptly Divine Army, did not have afterward that many matters. 有不少传统派认为,杨宣当时若是坚定的站在玄府学宫这一派,那么集合玄府和都堂的力量,及时把神尉军压下去,也就没有后来那么多事了。 But that person anything has not done, only maintained the balance in surface. 可其人什么都没有做,仅只是维持了表面上的平衡。 Three years ago, Yang Xuan died of illness, its child Yang Jue succeeds to the throne. 三年前,杨宣病逝,其子杨珏继位。 Yang Jue although young, may because of Yang family the popular sentiment, Xia people and serenese is viewless, moreover Yang family more than 50 years does not manage governs the matter specifically, therefore various side also tacitly approved this inheritance. 杨珏尽管年幼,可因为杨氏较得民心,夏人和安人都无意见,而且杨氏50多年来都不管具体治事,所以诸方也就默认了这个传继。 As Chaos Tide will draw back, matter is starting to change. 然而随着浊潮将退,事情又在开始发生变化。 Protectorate's all do not conform to the Celestial Xia rituals of state now. 要知道,现在都护府的一切都不符合天夏礼制。 The original Commandery government official, regardless of the size, is the native place confers rank and title in name, but now most people are Commandery private seal, half is serenese and serenese hybrid. 原来的都督府官吏,无论大小,名义上都是本土册封的,而现在大部分人都是都督府私封,其中还有一半是安人和安人混血。 What is more important, investigates earnestly, present Chief Commander does not gather the etiquette, then Celestial Xia will acknowledge when the time comes? 更重要的是,认真追究起来,连现在的大都督本身也不合礼法,那么到时候天夏会承认么？ This is also the biggest difficult problem that the traditional faction faces, except for their oneself, almost few individuals is willing to stand this side them. 这也是传统派所面临的最大难题,除了他们自己,几乎没几个人愿意站在他们这一边。 Jiang Dingyi looks below after the class/flow restless running water, appraised the present Protectorate's aspect with a few words, said: „Now outside Chaos Tide, although will soon retreat, is Chaos Tide in person heart, actually still there!” 蒋定易看着下方经流不息的活水,用一句话评价了如今都护府的局面,道:“如今外面的浊潮虽然即将退去,可是人心中的浊潮,却仍在那里！” ...... …… ...... ……
