In July 30, Protectorate at the end of the month holiday. 七月三十,都护府月末休沐。 Divine Army Vice Army Lord Yan Xulun sits above the magnificent weaving blanket, is drinking the scented tea, turns looks at one volume of books. 神尉军副尉主燕叙伦坐于华丽的织毯之上,边是喝着香茶,边是翻看着一卷书册。 He this year is 59 years old, good of very maintenance. The eye is bright, the temple is plentiful, the skin gloss is bright, on the face the wrinkle is also very rare, in addition experiences for a long time the exercise, the solid full muscle, the surface looks 30 over. 他今年五十九岁,不过保养的很好。眼睛有神,鬓角丰满,皮肤光泽明亮,脸上皱纹也很少见,再加上久经锻炼,丰实饱满的肌肉,表面看去不过三十出头。 Because the books are print not to deliver to here for a long time, therefore above is also fluttering thick printing ink taste, but he resembles does not shut out, pages of turn looks at carefully, once for a while returns nodded. 由于书册是印刷出来未久就送至此处,所以上面还飘着一股浓浓的油墨味,但他似一点也不嫌弃,一页页仔细翻看着,时不时还点下头。 In this book uses is not the Celestial Xia article, but was he asks Study Supervisor Qiu to use for 20 years, turned one ancient writing that sought and reorganizes from the ancient bark book. 这本书上所用的并非是天夏文,而是他请裘学令用了二十年时间,从古老树皮书里翻寻并整理出来的一种古代文字。 According to the Study Supervisor Qiu research, this is antukese, is the writing that the serenese ancestor uses, he calls it „serenese writing” now. 据裘学令考证,这就是安图科人,也就是安人的祖先所用的文字,他现在称之为“安文”。 The Yan Xulun oneself name is the typical Celestial Xia personal name, but he is actually serenese Xia hybrid. 燕叙伦自己的名字是典型的天夏人名,可他其实是一个安夏混血。 In Divine Army, is flooding such person now everywhere, even a large part has not known the Celestial Xia writing native barbarian, but took a name of Celestial Xia person, for example by Su Kuang that Zhang Yu causes heavy losses to is so. 在神尉军中,现在到处充斥着这样的人,甚至还有很大一部分是不识天夏文字的土蛮,只是取了一个天夏人的名姓,譬如被张御重创的苏匡就是如此。 Therefore present Divine Army, regardless of the family background from own benefit, most is afraid one group of people who Protectorate and Celestial Xia native place has the contact. 所以现在的神尉军,不论从出身还是从自身的利益上来看,都是最害怕都护府与天夏本土取得联系的一群人。 Outside the entrance has golden bell to resound, attendant walked, bows saying: „Army Lord, Mr. Xiao came.” 门庭外有金铃响起,一名役从走了进来,躬身道:“尉主,肖先生来了。” Yan Xulun puts down the books, said: „Asked him to come.” 燕叙伦放下书册,道:“请他进来吧。” After a while, walks one to take the folding fan from outside, wears the robe, two seventeen or eighteen years of age young men. 过了一会儿,自外面走进来一个拿着折扇,身着直裰,二十七八岁的年轻男子。 He the first time is not came to here obviously, arrives in the hall, comes up a ritual, said very much at will: „Does not know that what Army Lord Yan does ask me to make today? What article but can write?” 他显然不是第一次来这里,走到堂上,就上来一礼,很是随意道:“不知燕尉主今天找我来做什么？可是又要写什么文章么？” Yan Xulun indicated, has attendant to give Xiao Qingshu the newspaper that arranges beforehand, he said: „Mr. Xiao, how you see to the person who in this newspaper did say?” 燕叙伦示意了一下,就有役从将一张事先备好的报纸递给肖清舒,他道:“肖先生,你对这报纸上说的这个人怎么看？” Xiao Qingshu received the newspaper, launched to look at several, hey, said: „Originally is Joint Administrator Zhang, the person who I know, I also noticed recently, recently any article that is related his news, stems from Serenity Survey Corps affiliated newspaper office, this is Serenity Survey Corps is drumming up support for him obviously, will want to be Scholar the recommendation next year.” 肖清舒接过报纸,展开看了几眼,嘿了一声,道:“原来是张参治啊,我知道的这个人,最近我也留意到了,近来凡是有关他消息的文章,都是出自安巡会旗下的报馆,这显然是安巡会在为他造势,想要在明年把推举为‘士’了。” Yan Xulun nodded said: „Mr. Xiao looks very much accurate. Mr. Xiao, your elder brother is division household chief, you had also once made Division of Rites Yamen Book Compiler, considers the familiar rituals of state, but also please tell me, this Zhang Yu, un, Joint Administrator Zhang, can he become Scholar?” 燕叙伦颌首道:“肖先生看得很准。肖先生,你兄长是司户主事,你本人也曾做过司礼衙署的撰文,当是熟悉礼制,还请你告诉我,这个张御,嗯,张参治,他下来有可能成为‘士’么？” Xiao Qingshu said naturally: „If unmanned stop, that is natural. Unites young salamander, saves a ship person life ; The sign nation makes, draws back the enemies of ten thousand army in chatting ; killed god incarnation, aids yamen senior official, this each article, which enough he became Scholar, let alone he made three.” 肖清舒理所当然道:“若无人阻拦,那是当然的。戮夭螈,救一船人性命;签立邦约,于谈笑间退万军之敌;斩杀神明化身,护佑衙署长吏,这桩桩件件,哪一个都足够他成为‘士’了,何况他做了三件呢。” The Yan Xulun thoughts are deep, in the surface has not appeared anything to come, satisfying actually lives greatly vigilantly. 燕叙伦心思深沉,表面上没有显出什么来,可心中却是大生警惕。 The Scholar population is very scarce, most also three and 40 people, reason that does not determine the population, that is because some people are too old, has lived in seclusion outside on the island, does a bit less to participate in Scholars' Discussion, therefore is he does not know whether these old fogies are also living. “士”的人数是非常稀少,最多也不过三、四十人而已,之所以不确定人数,那是因为有些人年纪太大,一直隐居在外海岛上,少来参加士议,所以是他不知道那些老家伙是否还活着。 But undeniably, once becomes Scholar, from the Zhang Yu family background, at the present status, has in the past displayed the attitude to Divine Army that this was doomed that person inevitably is their enemy opposite party, 但不可否认,一旦成为“士”,从张御的出身,而今的身份、还有以往所表现出来的对神尉军的态度,这注定了其人必然是他们的敌对方, This is also only discusses Duke, if by private...... 这还只是论公,若论私…… In brief such a person who is doomed to become the rival, cannot ignores it grow! 总之这样一个注定成为敌手的人,绝不能放任其成长起来！ He said: „That consults Mr. Xiao, may have the means to prevent this matter, restricts this person?” 他道:“那请教肖先生,可有办法阻止此事,制约此人么？” Xiao Qingshu hey, said: „I had inquired the experience of this person passing, he is Profound Mansion cultivator, usually in lives in seclusion, looks not to have hobby, denounced only, is he enters academy through self-recommendation, possibly not for these old stick-in-the-mud happy. Only he said that drew back Hard Claw Tribe, extinguished a war not saying that even also made these native barbarian learn/study the Celestial Xia word language on own initiative, these old stick-in-the-mud had possibly changed the view to him.” 肖清舒嘿了一声,道:“我曾经打听过此人的经历过往,他是玄府修士,平日里深居简出,看去无甚嗜好,唯一诟病,就是他是通过自荐进入学宫的,可能不为那些老顽固所喜。只他说退了坚爪部落,消弭了一场战事不说,甚至还让这些个土蛮主动来学习天夏文字语言,那些老顽固很可能已对他改变了看法。” Enlightens native barbarian, four directions, defends the old faction vision with the tradition, this is repels the enemy compared with the spoken language also wants extraordinary awarded marks, only this point can neglect the matter of self-recommendation. 教化土蛮,布德四方,用传统守旧派的眼光来看,这是比言语退敌还要了不得的加分项,只这一点就可以将自荐之事忽略过去了。 in reality Xiao Qingshu also feels now somewhat inconceivable, Zhang Yu can make native barbarian propose that unexpectedly studies the Celestial Xia word language? Since Protectorate has stood, has never had such matter. 实际上肖清舒现在还觉得有些不可思议,张御居然能让土蛮主动提出学习天夏的文字语言？自都护府立成以来,还从来没有过这样的事。 Some people said that this is Yang Ying the merit of 30,000 armies. He actually snorts contemptuously, when Protectorate arrival, isn't the military might more abundant? Which native tribe also without seeing set this request. 有人说这是杨璎的三万大军的功劳。他却对此嗤之以鼻,都护府到来时,军威不是更盛？也没见哪个土著部落主动提出这个要求。 Yan Xulun hear of he said, is actually not anxious, said smilingly: „Mr. Xiao, I believe that you have certainly the means.” 燕叙伦听他这么说,却是丝毫不急,笑盈盈道:“肖先生,我相信你一定是有办法的。” Xiao Qingshu smiles, at this time he looked at the eye toward about, side attendant had the meaningful glance very much, immediately carries a soft stool that is spreading the brocade pad, he sat, said: „Actually also has the breach, Scholars' Discussion must comment by the Political Council wind not only, must look at the folk reputation,” he took the finger to draw to below, probably mixed anything, „here had the leeway of managing.” 肖清舒一笑,这时他朝左右看了眼,旁边的役从很有眼色,立刻端来一个铺着锦垫的软凳,他坐了下来,道:“其实也不是没有突破口,士议不光要靠都堂风评,也要看民间口碑,”他拿手指对下画了一圈,好像搅动什么,“这里就有操持的余地了。” Yan Xulun nods, said: „Mr. Xiao please continue.” 燕叙伦点点头,道:“肖先生请继续说。” Xiao Qingshu opened the fan fan two, said: „To tarnish a reputation of person, is starts from his welldoing, in the past many people, planted on this, this is also the move withstanding the test.” 肖清舒打开扇子扇了两下,道:“想要败坏一个人的名声,莫过于从他的德行下手,过去多少人,就是栽在了这上面,这也是屡试不爽的招数。” Yan Xulun said: „But Mr. Xiao you also said that this Zhang Yu is cultivator, the life is simple, perhaps in the conduct could not find what stain.” 燕叙伦道:“可肖先生你也说了,这个张御是一个修士,生活简朴,品行上恐怕找不到什么污点。” Xiao Qingshu smiles, said: „Under nobody is perfect, looked at us to want the big time.” 肖清舒嘿嘿一笑,道:“人无完人,就看我们愿意下多大的功夫了。” The Yan Xulun hear he has double meaning, smiles naturally, said: „Mr. Xiao, since had confidence that this matter gave Mr. Xiao, if the matter became, price casual mister left.” 燕叙伦听出他一语双关,大方一笑,道:“肖先生既然有把握,那这件事就交给肖先生了,若是事成,价钱随便先生出。” „Good!” The Xiao Qingshu spirit inspires greatly, his cupped the hands, said: „I made an effort to try!” “好！”肖清舒精神大振,他拱了拱手,道:“那我就勉为一试了！” Xiao Qingshu and Yan Xulun don't, returned to the oneself house, gets down several days of time, he is beginning to turn looks for Zhang Yu passing. 肖清舒与燕叙伦别过后,就回了自己宅子,下来几天时间,他都在着手翻找张御的过往。 these things very difficult, but he depends elder brother oneself is division household chief, and threatens and other methods through the buy, forces a Household Division Yamen business government official in secret, transcribed Zhang Yu part of pass document. 这些东西很难查,不过他仗着自己兄长是司户主事,通过收买和威吓等手段,暗中逼迫一名司户衙署的事务官吏,将张御的一部分路贴文书抄录了出来。 He carefully studied, discovered Zhang Yu after entering academy, almost does not have any recorded, only has before riding The Great Fortune presents several places, is there is extremely remote, many places left uncultivated, oneself at all not possible to investigate. 他仔细研究了一下,发现张御自进入学宫后,就几乎没有任何记录了,唯有在乘坐大福号前出现几个地方,可是那里太过偏僻,很多地方都荒废了,自己根本不可能去调查。 The Great Fortune pass records to have some places to be insufficiently detailed actually. 倒是大福号的路贴记录上有一些地方语焉不详。 But now looks like, as if also can only start from here, therefore he decided that clears the way with gold, life attendant collected Zhang Yu hand/subordinate everywhere at that time the specific experience on The Great Fortune. 而现在看来,似乎也只能从这里入手了,于是他决定用金元开道,命手下役从四处去搜集张御当时在大福号上的具体经历。 After having confessed this matter, he took up in the case a newspaper to look, but looked at both eyes, he clenched jaws saying: „Is this Tao Sheng!” 交代过此事后,他就拿起案上一份报纸看了起来,可是才看了两眼,他就咬牙切齿道:“又是这个陶生！” As by the person who the glib lips eat meal, he hates that signature very „Tao Sheng” person. 身为靠嘴皮子吃饭的人,他十分痛恨那个署名“陶生”的人。 Before under pulling strings of Yan Xulun, he will often compile something, for example wrapped a big on origin to serenese, for example blew again the serenese beforehand tribe is a rich and populous powerful civilization country, for example talked into the serenese pale-yellow eye pupil again is the golden color, was the descendant of sun god wait/etc. 之前在燕叙伦的指使下,他时常会编造一些东西,比如给安人套一个高大上的起源,再比如把安人以前的部落吹成是一个富庶强大的文明国家,再比如把安人浅黄色的眼瞳说成是金色,是太阳神的后裔等等。 Are many story that he compiles, by clean that Tao Sheng digs up, moreover refers to the classics, has the detailed research and source. 只是很多他编造的故事,都被陶生扒的一干二净,而且引经据典,有着详细的考证和出处。 Must eat meal, it is necessary is so ruthless? 都是要吃饭的,有必要这么狠吗？ Is good also has the means because of him, every time returns attended to about him. 好在他也不是没有办法,每回都是顾左右而言他。 You and I discussed the research, I and you pulled the legend ; You and I discussed the legend, I and you pulled the humanities ; You and I discussed the humanities, I and you pulled the blood relationship. 你和我谈考证,我和你扯传说;你和我谈传说,我和你扯人文;你和我谈人文,我和你扯血缘。 In brief was you says your, I said my. 总之就是你说你的,我说我的。 But even this, because the newspaper length is limited, cannot contain enough changing course space, therefore his each time to end drearily. 可即便是这样,因为报纸篇幅有限,容纳不下足够的转进空间,所以他每次都是以惨淡收场。 However the polemic people in newspaper like looking actually, the newspaper sales volume also increased much, therefore the accidental/surprised belt/bring his reputation, gave him to have many advantage from this. 不过两人在报纸上的论战民众倒是非常喜欢看,连带报纸销量也是增加了不少,所以意外的带起了他的名声,由此也给他带了不少好处。 What makes him not happy is, Tongsori that the people like, includes his each time to scurry about, refuted being a mass of cuts and bruises actually also obstinate argumentative appearance. 只是让他不愉快的是,民众喜欢的东西里,就包括他每次上蹿下跳,被驳斥的体无完肤却还嘴硬的样子。 Looks in the share of money, he endured. 看在钱的份上,他忍了。 He puts down the newspaper, the corner of the eye casts aside in the table corner that newspaper office talented writer to pact that mails, snort/hum, revealed the color of sparing a glance. 他放下报纸,眼角撇向桌角上那封报馆妙笔寄来的约书,哼了一声,露出不屑一顾之色。 Now had the Yan Xulun business, oneself was also worthwhile to serve a need to collect to ask to scold? 现在有了燕叙伦的生意,自己还犯得着用得着凑上去讨骂么？ Sneers several, he takes the pen, dips the full ink, started to edit the article honestly. 冷笑几声,他把笔拿起来,蘸满墨水,老老实实开始编起了文章。 this time his train of thought such as spring wells up, stopped the pen to the evening time, has a look on the paper the voluminous article, the pen body is smooth, twisting is changeable, he is also quite satisfied. 这一次他文思如泉涌,一直到了傍晚时候才停笔,看看纸上洋洋洒洒一篇文章,笔体流畅,夭矫多变,他也是颇为满意。 Although clear(ly) knows that this article must be refuted the worthless trash several days later, but in his heart has an unusual joyful feeling. 虽然明知道这篇文章过几天就要被驳斥成一文不值的垃圾,可他的心中却有着一股异样的快乐感。 At this time, attendant walked, said several in his ear. 这个时候,有一名役从走进来,在他耳边说了几句。 He said pleasantly surprised: „Person?” 他惊喜道:“人呢？” attendant said: „In out of the door.” 役从道:“就在门外。” Xiao Qingshu said: „Good, good, brings to go to side hall quickly.” 肖清舒道:“好,好,快把人带到偏厅去。” After instruction, he changed clothes to walk, saw in the living room to sit whole face beard, middle-aged man who it seems like went down in the world very much. 吩咐过后,他换了一身衣服走了出来,见客厅里坐着一个满脸胡须,看来很是落魄的中年男子。 But the hand of no callus and quite fair skin can look, before this person, should also be the person who has a high and respected position. Although the body clothes are somewhat worn-out, but is personal, considers tailors by way of the specialist. 但从毫无老茧的手和较为白皙的皮肤可以看得出来,这人以前应该也是一个养尊处优的人。身上衣服虽然有些破旧,可却非常贴身,当是经由专人剪裁的。 His cupped the hands, very polite say/way: „Below Xiao Qingshu, how may I ask your excellency to call?” 他拱了拱手,很是客气道:“在下肖清舒,敢问尊驾如何称呼？” Middle-aged person stood up, a body bow, some returning of feeling extremely flattered said: „Below Helian Zhan, Mr. Xiao called me Helian on the line.” 那中年人站了起来,身躯一躬,有些受宠若惊的回道:“在下赫连占,肖先生叫我赫连就行了。” ...... …… ...... ……
