The news about Guo Pharmacist Chang Shengjun's surrender spread throughout the city. In the past two days, it has become the focus of everyone's after-dinner discussions. At the same time, in Bianliang City, the people at the top of the Wu Dynasty Pyramid who promoted the implementation of this matter are also in the process of The results of joy are felt in the afterglow of victory.
In the past year, the Jin people have attacked fiercely, and nearly half of Liao's land has been landed. Under this situation, it can almost be said that the death knell of Liao has been sounded. Among the imperial court of the Wu Dynasty, there were many people who believed in the principle of "getting the right, more help, and less help". At this time, the Changsheng Army was drawn over, which happened to be the best proof of this principle.
Since the beginning of the war, the power of the main war and the main harmony in the imperial court has been tilted quite seriously, but there are still a considerable number of people in the main peace faction. And the main battle faction is not united. In the delicate situation of losing streak in the battle, it gradually divided into two groups. One group asked the front army to win the battle and show its strength. In the subsequent negotiations with the Jin people, it was better to speak. The other faction, because of its repeated defeats, began to advocate that its own side preserve its strength, use the art of war to plan, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then take advantage of the situation when both Jin and Liao are injured.
These two kinds of statements were there from the beginning, but they were clearly separated after the war situation changed. But in any case, the bottom line of the main battle faction is to regain Youyan, at least not let the main peace faction prevail. When the news of Chang Sheng's surrender was confirmed, among the crowd, it was the latter's voice that prevailed. At this time, the north was holding its troops, and Tong Guan led the forbidden army to the north. Before the war started again, Guo Yaoshi surrendered, which is in line with the demeanor of the teacher of the king of the heaven. For most people, this is the symbol of the arrival of the opportunity of rejuvenation in the Wu Dynasty .
The voices are warm and the will is united. At this time, the way to celebrate is of course various banquet gatherings. In the past two days, the merchants who hosted various parties in Bianliang City made a fortune, and the various brothel Chu halls also made a lot of money. In the "Wang Dao Fu". It was rated as a rare atmospheric work in the past century. There is a legacy from the Tang Dynasty, and the article is full of four and six, expressing the inevitability of the Wu Dynasty reuniting in a prosperous age, and the literary talent is amazing.
Wen Daochang, of course, can be regarded as the performance of the prosperity of the world, and everyone will not have any objection to this. After making "Fu of Kings", this place in Shaoyuan has won the favor of the oiran Ji Wanqing in the capital, in these two days. To become a well-known story in the capital, it is vaguely comparable to Zhou Bangyan, Zheng Shuhe, Wang Yuanshi and Xie Daosan, who were called the four talents of the capital at this time.
These things are the most popular trends in this era, no matter where they are, they cannot be avoided. In the right minister's mansion that afternoon, there were also several people who were circulating and discussing the "Wang Dao Fu". This is the East Court of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It was very close to the study where Qin Siyuan always worked, and there were many books and slips in the room, which also proved that these people were Qin Siyuan's trusted advisers or masters. One of them is a handsome middle-aged monk, and the other three are 30, 40, and 50 years old respectively. All three have mature and stable temperaments, but their age seems to be written on their faces. , at a glance, it makes people feel this way.
"… exuberant, full of air. This is Yu Shaoyuan's literary talent... This year, he is only in his early twenties. It reminds me of Wang Zi'an..." It was the fifties who spoke after reading the text. The old man shook his head in admiration. Wang Zi'an in his mouth is Wang Bo, who wrote the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" among the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty. Those who can serve as staff members in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion are all talented people. The old man's ability to be better than Prince Shaoyuan is enough to prove the other party's achievements.
However, after he said this, he immediately ushered in a rebuttal that was not very agreeable. The one who spoke was a man in his thirties who was writing at a desk not far away, and raised his eyebrows: "The literary talent is good, but I just sighed in vain, and the argument is not enough. If it is just kingly and upright, the country can be rejuvenated and Anbang can be rejuvenated... Well, although It's not unreasonable, but in this case, Nian Gong, what are we doing?"
"He's only in his early twenties, so literary talent is enough. What's more, rejuvenating the country and Anbang should be the king's way. This is not wrong, haha, why should you mind Zhouhai." The old man known as Nian Gong laughed He smiled, and in front of the window on the other side, the monk who was drinking tea raised his head: "If the essay is talented, it may be possible to be on par with Zhou Meicheng, but... I'm afraid it can't compare to the one who is coming up for a night of fish and dragon dance..."
"That's a different person, you don't need to compare it." The man in his thirties said, and the monk by the window nodded.
Among them, a middle-aged man in his 40s looks good, but he seems to be relatively taciturn. Although he has listened to a few people, he has never been involved. If it is placed outside, the few people here are also famous and can even scare people in many places.
The old man called Niangong was named Yao, and his name was Yao Zunian. He was Qin Siyuan's staff when he was young. He was very knowledgeable. Although he followed Qin Siyuan before, he also had a great reputation in the officialdom. After Qin Siyuan resigned, he could have given him a future, and even his own fame was enough to transfer to anyone's name, but after experiencing the alliance of black water, his utilitarian heart also faded. When I woke up again, I came back to help.
The middle-aged man in his forties was named Ji Kun. He was originally a servant Qin Siyuan accepted when he was young, and later he read and read with Qin Siyuan and became one of Qin Siyuan's first disciples. It's just that what this person is good at is not poetry and literary style, but actually doing things and arranging others to do things. Although he looks good and even a little dull, in fact, when Qin Siyuan was in charge of the personnel department, many people had learned from this person. He was ruthless. Qin Siyuan was dismissed from office a few years ago. He didn't want him to follow Jiangning to become a housekeeper. It's a big change, it's just more silent than before.
The man in his thirties was originally a disciple of Qin Siyuan, his surname was Cheng, his given name was Fang, and his word was Zhouhai. He didn't study with Qin Siyuan for a long time, but his personality was rather cynical. He was quite famous in the Daming Mansion. Some people in the capital knew him. Ouarui's guest of honor, occasionally his name appeared in the field of vision of some people, but until now, regardless of officialdom, he has not made much achievements, and his ambition is not here. After Qin Siyuan's recovery Ask him to come, and he will come too.
As for that monk, he is truly famous in the capital, and this person is called Jue Ming. This is the son of the prince. When he was young, he was handsome and talented. Later, he became a monk and was shocked in the capital for a while. Although his talent is not as profound as that of Yaozu, his talent in poetry and prose is firmly above the other three. Since he is a monk, no one in the capital will list him among the four great talents. But compared to Zhou Bangyan, his reputation is not necessarily worse. Although Zen Master Jue Ming became a monk, he did not practice ascetic, but made friends widely, so he could make friends. Not as a staff member, but as a member.
Qin Siyuan was not in the mansion this afternoon, and the group chatted for a while, and a servant came over to report the matter and told Ji Kun. Ji Kun went out for a while, and after a while, he brought someone in with a smile, and Yao Zunian glanced at it. Then he laughed: "Fuji. I almost didn't recognize it."
It was naturally Wenren Buer who came from the pier. He stood at the door and bowed his hands: "Mr. Yao... Chan Master Jue Ming. I haven't seen you two gentlemen for a long time. Ah, Zhouhai..."
Wenren Buer was about the same age as Cheng Zhouhai, but he looked younger. Everyone had seen it a few years ago. In fact, several people in the room knew about the secret investigation department. In fact, Jue Ming's identity and relationship behind him, like Kang Xian, are currently holding up the secret investigation department's umbrella. one. Everyone has long known that Wenren Buer will be here, and they all know what he has done in Hangzhou. At this time, they have seen each other with a smile. Cheng Zhouhai looked out the door several times subconsciously. After Wenren Buer found out, he was a little puzzled: "What is Zhouhai looking at?"
Yao Zunian laughed aside: "I'm afraid he is watching the one-night fish and dragon dance. But since he has already arrived, why didn't that young master Ning come?"
Hearing him talk about Ning Yi, Wen Ren Buer laughed, and told about Ning Yi's search for a place to live, and then looked at Cheng Zhouhai, but thought of the reason: "Then Ning Liheng's actions are really different from Zhouhai. The points are similar, and Zhouhai is known for his poetry in the past, is it because he is happy to see hunting, and wants to find someone to learn from?"
Cheng Zhouhai has a somewhat cynical temperament. Although his poetry and prose are very good, he used to be a little disdainful of discussing the literary society. According to him, he is very disgusted by those who are not good enough to deliberately show off and praise each other. This is unheard of. Two known before. But Ning Yi's poems should be able to suppress his disdain. He thought of this and said it, but Cheng Zhouhai shook his head with a smile and waved his hand: "It's not because of this... Hey, I'm afraid that the Sixteenth Young Master will be criticized again..."
He murmured with a bit of playfulness, but Yao Zunian and Jue Ming frowned and looked at each other: "Yes, where did Shaoyu go?"
Ji Kun said: "I'm afraid I'll go out to play with those young masters again."
Wen Renbuer couldn't help but be a little puzzled. After inquiring, he learned about him and Ning Yi going to Beijing. Qin Siyuan sent someone early in the morning to prepare for reception. This person was a nephew of Qin Siyuan in his hometown. Although he didn't have much contact with people from his hometown during his dismissal from office, after Qin Siyuan's recovery, many people from the Qin clan came to Beijing to ask for care. In addition to taking money and food and wanting to be an official, they also sent a few young masters of their children and nephews. , ask Qin Siyuan to discipline and give them a future.
Once seated in the position of the Right Prime Minister, there is almost an endless stream of such things, but Qin Siyuan has no choice but to ignore it. Although he can push some away, there are always some people who still stay in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It is Qin Siyuan's choice. The qualifications are relatively good. The Sixteenth Young Master Qin Shaoyu is one of them.
It's just that these people were already in their teens and twenties when they were sent, and Qin Siyuan had no way to teach him how to be a man, he could only teach him how to do things. But no matter how majestic he is, he can't really overwhelm his family. In the past year, when these young men came to the capital, the first thing they contracted were all kinds of unavoidable problems. They went out in groups in groups. Playing, participating in literary gatherings, playing games in the brothel Chu Pavilion, and playing out, is the name of the son of the right prime minister's residence. Qin Siyuan has dealt with it a few times, and even changed the family law, but in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, everything still seems rushed. During this year, he mainly dealt with matters related to the Northern Expedition and made up for the vacancy in work for several years. There are no rules at home. The precipitation of time, to be completely closed, he is also unable to catch up.
This time Ning Yi and others came up, he estimated the time and asked Qin Shaoyu to wait at the pier every day, and bring the two "world brothers" to the mansion in time. In the opinion of the old man, Ning Yi and Wenren may also be asked to help each other. The idea of the younger generation, making friends with capable people is always good for one's own children and nephews. However, the date of the estimate is vague, and there are various changes on the way. How could Qin Shaoyu really care about this matter every day, he would miss it at this time, and if he came, he would be scolded by the old man.
Hearing this, Wen Ren Bu Er had a wry smile for a while, if Qin Shaoyu was scolded. You have to turn your anger on yourself. In any case, it is not a good thing to be inseparable. However, Yao Zunian and others could see his worries, and Cheng Zhouhai waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's not enough to fail, it's not enough to fail, the teacher must be able to distinguish these things... To be honest, although it is said that the high officials Noble family is like this, and there will definitely be people who climb relatives and go through the door. But the prime minister’s house is all overturned and started again. During this period of time, they came over. Teachers and teachers and sisters are all overwhelmed... "
He paused: "However, I really want to see that Ning Liheng as soon as possible. The teacher also said that he should come to the mansion as soon as possible... The reason you guessed wrong."
Wen Ren Fu'er frowned and thought for a while: "I know that he and the teacher are good friends, but... Isn't it because of poetry?"
"It's not poetry, and it's not Liangshan. Although we are far inferior to what he has done in these matters, but later the teacher discussed with Nian Gong and Master Jue Ming, this Ning Gongzi, think about things... How to solve the problem I'm afraid it's a little different from ordinary people. The teacher said that he is an alien, but there are no such people. But what really makes people think about this is this... I didn't notice it at first... "
Cheng Zhouhai spoke with a serious look, and took out a precious box from the cabinet beside him. After opening it, Wenren Buer took a look and recognized it. This is some information he sent from Hangzhou, there are a lot of things. Bundle into a bundle. Most of these information have been sorted out, and most of them were sent after the city was broken, because there were too many, but most of the information that was sent to the capital after the city was broken were also unimportant news, just as a supplement to the whole situation.
"What kind of information is this?"
"In the beginning, you only sent a few articles. I glanced at them and threw them aside. Nian Gong and the others were the same." Cheng Zhouhai said, took out the letters at the bottom, and took out the paper inside. Er took it over and looked at it for a while, but frowned firmly. Because these things are really unimportant, he finally remembered what it was after reading half of the article, and then read the whole article carefully: "These? Is there any mystery in it?" For him, it was too much to read. Childish and error-ridden articles are also torture.
"There is a mystery." Cheng Zhouhai patted a large bundle of things next to it, "but I can't see it all at once, I didn't see it."
Over there, Yao Zunian shook his head: "Ashamed, I couldn't see it at the beginning."
"I remember that this is what Ning Liheng got in the Ba Dao Camp. He forced those Confucian scholars to write articles, but the good and the bad were mixed, and some of them even didn't make sense. Could it be that there is some secret code hidden in it?" Wenren Buer read word by word. After a while, he raised his head, "But it's useless now."
"I can't see it all at once..." Cheng Zhouhai rubbed his forehead.
"You never want to say..." After thinking for a while, Wen Renbuer thought of something, but for a moment, it was difficult to sum up the words, "In these things..."
Cheng Zhouhai smiled meaningfully: "There are good and bad literary qualities of these things, if you just talk about it in words, Ning Liheng really shouldn't give a grain of rice to those literati, after you send it, none of us will I didn't care, until a few times, I found that the teacher actually took these articles to read, and even found all the things and picked them out. We felt that there was a problem. Later, after the teacher told us, We just...were really a little scared..." He paused and lowered his voice, "This is a theory of punishment..."
"Just kidding." Wen Renbuer glanced at the people in the room, "I knew at the time that he set up a bureau, over there... the girl Liu from Ba Daoying also believed it, but the environment at the time, this bureau He will die if he doesn't set it up. But I can't say that this is really possible. In that environment, he was only arrested for two or three months... Are these things possible?"
"In the thirteenth year of Emperor Qizong's reign, Lu Jifang, a great Confucian of Hezhou, scattered his family wealth and implemented 'Datong' in the local village. Later, we jointly decided that if we want to make old people die, strong people can use them, young people can grow up, and the widows, widows, loneliness, and sick people will all be supported..." Yao Zunian, who was next to him, opened his mouth.
"This kind of thing is not the first time in the past, but every time, the idea is very good, but it often ends without a problem. Lu Jifang went on for three years. Later, it was said that the villagers became more and more lazy, and the village could not make ends meet. Lu Jifang persuaded the villagers to work hard. He also tried to restrain the people in the name of 'good old man', but in the end a conflict was aroused. Lu Jifang was killed in the conflict, and the villagers scattered in a hurry. The local prefect later heard the matter and believed that Lu Jifang had the intention of being a saint, but was wasting his family wealth. He was later killed, and after the hearing of the case, twenty-three people were sentenced to be executed, and all of them were executed after the autumn...
Wenren said: "How can these two things be the same?"
"But it's actually similar." Cheng Zhouhai looked at him, "The teacher saw all the things he did in Hangzhou Ba Dao Camp, one link after another, interlocking, he was not playing or lying, smelling Man, he knows what he has in mind."
Wen Ren Bu'er was silent for a while: "Zhou Hai, first tell me if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
"Naturally it's a good thing, how can it be a bad thing!" Cheng Zhouhai said, spreading his hands.
Wen Ren Buer breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji Kun handed him a cup of tea.
"The teacher said that when I first met this kid, he played chess well and his sword was slanted. Later, he wrote beautiful poems, and when disaster strikes, he has the ability to help the people. The wind of the general is gone. Any one of these things is a pillar of talent. But compared with the present, those things are nothing."
Ji Kun's tone was a little light, but calm, repeating Qin Siyuan's words: "Everyone can be Yao and Shun... This is the line of Taoism, Wenren, that Ning Gongzi, has the idea of great harmony..."
