Chapter 230: Plan ahead

I thought it was more than three years since I left the academy, and everything still remained the same, except for the students who came and went to the academy, who changed their appearance. You can see the teenagers with dance spoons and hair tied in Suxin Building, Jieshen Courtyard, Shangde Hall, Shujian Courtyard and other places. Xuan Shaoning, who was already in the prime of the year, also felt that he was back to the past.

I have decided how many times I must go back to the academy as soon as possible, look at the master, look at the seniors, look at Hengsan and Pangkui, but when things are about to come, I have to give up because of various accidents. Now Pangkui is no longer there, and no matter how many regrets I have, I can only regret.

"Fortunately, I finally came back and nothing changed much."

Standing on the Yanbu Bridge, Xuan Shaoning felt a lot of emotion. There was a deep abyss under his feet, and the fog was rich. Standing here was a different illusion of thinking. He had never spared much time to walk across the Yanbu Bridge to take a look in the past few years.

When Xuan Shaoning's eyes were on Linyuan Pavilion again, Zhang Hanshan's appearance automatically popped up in his mind. Zhang Hanshan? Yes, it was him! Because things happened one after another, Xuan Shaoning's attention was diverted. Until now, he remembered Zhang Hanshan again, this ancestor who had been hung in Linyuan Pavilion.

When I opened the Linyuan Pavilion gate, everything was as usual. I glanced around roughly, and the portraits on the wall did not increase or decrease. Yes, the ones that could be hung here must be people who were Wen Weizhuo and Wu can expand the territory, and they were also those who died. My own group of people were just young and were not qualified in any case.

Xuan Shaoning began to walk slowly along the hall, searching among many portraits again, and finally found the portrait of Zhang Hanshan.

"It's just printed on the same mold!"

Even though the outfits on his body are a little different, there is no difference in his facial features. Is there really anyone who looks so similar and has the same name and surname in this world? Is this possible? Xuan Shaoning just looked at the portrait before, and now he has begun to carefully study the life introduction in the portrait.

Zhang Hanshan was born in the eighth year of Emperor Shun. He was a kung-kang and had a plan. He first entered the academy after seven years of study. He was accustomed to being in the military for 14 years, and had more than 40 rounds of large and large formations. He had outstanding military achievements. Because of his meticulous thoughts and determination, he was promoted to the General of the Assistant State in the 15th year of Emperor Hui.

The history of the Liang Dynasty began with Emperor Gaozu, and has gone through six emperors, a total of 116 years. So, looking forward, Emperor Shun was the second successor emperor. The eighth year of Emperor Shun was 102 years ago. In this way, if Zhang Hanshan lived to this point, he would be a hundred years old!

How is this possible? Although there is no official record of the court, in the past twenty years, those who have seen and heard of it have already been considered a long life. The Liang Dynasty has never been stable. Wars will occur every few years. Wars require troops and money and food. Most young and middle-aged men died on the front line in battle, while women and children have to bear increasingly heavy labor taxes. It is not easy for them to be over fifty years old.

There are dozens of people who can hang portraits in Linyuan Pavilion over the past century. Xuan Shaoning looked at them all. Xuan Shaoning carefully compared all the portraits. He found that most of them had birth and death years. After all, only dead people could enter Linyuan Pavilion. Only Zhang Hanshan did not record the year of death. His records came to an abrupt end at the peak of his life, and there was no following at all.

During the reign of Emperor Hui, Zhong Lesong, who was also powerful, was called the "Great Wall of Civil and Military Affairs" with Zhang Hanshan, and Zhong Lesong had a clear birth and death year.

With doubts, Xuan Shaoning walked out of Linyuan Pavilion. When he was about to step onto Yanbu Bridge, he found a person standing on the bridge, facing Xuan Shaoning sideways, and his eyes were always under the abyss.

"Senior Brother Chen?"

Chen Ming turned around when he heard the call and said, "You really like to come to Linyuan Pavilion."

"Has Senior Brother Chen been here long ago?"

"I don't want to bother you when you've been studying the portrait, so I'm waiting on this bridge."

"How did Senior Brother Chen know that I'm here?"

"The convenient places that leave the most memories in the academy are Shangde Hall, Shujianyuan and Linyuan Pavilion. In seven years, these three places are the places you have visited the most. I have found the two places in front of me and I can only come to Linyuan Pavilion to try my luck."

"Senior brother actually remembers the place I go most often? Senior brother's memory really surprised Shaoning."

"Okay, Master, come and go."

"Senior brother has an amazing memory, but Shaoning's memory is not bad either!"

Chen Ming was about to turn around and leave when he heard Xuan Shaoning roaring like this. He turned around and looked at the junior brother with a puzzled expression.

"Senior brother still remembers that when he brought us to Yuan Pavilion for the first time, his senior brother once said that Zhong Lesong and Zhang Hanshan were civil and military ministers during the reign of Emperor Hui. They were also the first disciples of the academy and the two with the highest official positions so far?"

"Remember, how?"

"The senior brother once said that they two assisted Emperor Hui in governing the world and died one after another. At that time, I did not read the life introduction carefully, but today I found something strange. Zhong Lesong did have a year of birth and death, but Zhang Hanshan did not. The Master was so cautious and serious about doing things that he would never miss such important information, and he missed Zhang Hanshan alone!"

"This is a hundred years ago, and it is normal if there are any mistakes."

"Senior brother, do you know that I met someone who not only had the same name and surname as Zhang Hanshan, but also looked exactly the same. Is that normal?"

This was the first time Xuan Shaoning expressed his confusion in his heart, because he trusted Chen Ming enough. He had always thought that anyone would be surprised when he heard his narrative. He would ask a few more questions if he didn't help. However, Chen Ming had an indifferent expression. Not only did he not have the interest to ask for details, he urged, "The Master and King Yu are waiting for us, don't delay any more."

Xuan Shaoning looked back at Linyuan Pavilion, like a silent old man hiding many secrets, and Chen Ming in front of him seemed to be a wise man who saw through everything, sealing the past in his heart.

Everyone in Yao Pavilion arrived, Bai Shi, King Yu, Helian Ping, Chu Hanqian, Yin Li, Ye Kai, Zhao Kexin, and Du Shaoyin were waiting for Chen Ming and Xuan Shaoning.

"General"

"Don't call me General anymore. I have been denied my title. You should call me Brother Xiao in the future!"

Brother Xiao? Xuan Shaoning was really incompetent in a while. He was already a "general" and "King Yu" called it easy, and suddenly became "Brother Xiao", which made everyone feel embarrassed.

"The title is just a code name, just let people know that this is you. If you can't change it, it's better to follow the previous title, and there is no need to force it."

Master Baishi looked at Xuan Shaoning's embarrassment and had to come out to smooth things out. His words were very important, and even King Yu had to give in to three points. King Yu had always been straightforward, and he just wanted to narrow the distance with everyone. At this time, the title was really irrelevant, and he nodded in recognition of Baishi's suggestions.

In order to change the topic, Xuan Shaoning asked: "Everyone is here, why didn't Su Qian and Senior Brother Chu Kuang come?"

This time it was not only Bai Shi, but many other people's faces changed. Of course, King Yu, like Xuan Shaoning, was not aware of Chu Kuan's affairs.

"Su Qian has already gone down the mountain in advance to cover up his eyes. As for Chu Kuang," Bai Shi paused, "and sacrificed during the Qianyuan Palace Incident."

Xuan Shaoning couldn't believe that the gentle and knowledgeable senior brother Chu Kuang had passed away and died in the palace revolution!

"I decided to bury Pang Kui and Chu Kuang together. Although they could not enter Linyuan Pavilion, they were worth remembering by the people in the future. However, I summoned everyone to come for the great event that Qingshan Academy has long preserved."

King Yu took over the conversation and said, "It is up to the help of the Bai family that I can escape from the capital smoothly. At the same time, the Bai family's pharmacists also brought a message that the court may intend to use troops to Qingshan Academy."

"The court wants to deal with the academy? Could it be that the court knows that His Highness, King Yu, is hiding in the academy?" Ye Kai speculated.

"The news was brought by Luo Yao, and her news will never go wrong. As for the reason, there is no need to analyze too much. What we need to do now is to make a good response strategy. I think sending all the disciples down the mountain first, they are still young and should not be victims. Then His Highness Yu must leave as soon as possible, set out to Mobei, and re-in charge of the Xuanjia Army is the top priority."

"His Highness, Master, according to the news from the capital, King Xiang will ascend the throne to the throne within 16 days in three days, so the court should not take any action before this." Helian Ping said.

"I hope so. The most important thing for King Xiang is to ascend the throne. After all, this is what he has been planning carefully, so I also think that the time left for us is only three days at most. King Xiang is about to ascend the throne, and inside and outside the capital are strictly guarding the battle, and even outside the city has begun to patrol the army. In this case, if King Yu rashly goes down the mountain, it is inevitable that he will take some risk."

"Su Qian has made arrangements. In two days, they will send a team of cars and horses to the north. At that time, they will detour to Yanshan. I will pretend to be one of them and leave with the horse team."

"It's so good, so everyone, in three days, whether the academy can survive this disaster can only do its best to leave people and destiny!"

Xuan Shaoning only felt that Master Shiraishi's words were indescribable sadness, just as he had foreseeed the ending of Qingshan Academy.
