"My lord, the student is returning the book. ”

In the backyard of the Hanlin Academy, Xiao Hanlin was holding a yellowed book under his armpit, walking lightly in front of the bookshelf, looking for the old Hanlin.

He had already turned around the places where Old Hanlin often spent time, but he couldn't find Old Hanlin's familiar figure.

was in great disappointment, when suddenly an old voice sounded in his ears: "Here-"

Under a low bookshelf deep in the stack of books, a dusty old face was revealed in the pile of old books.

Xiao Hanlin sneered, "My lord, why are you hiding here?"

Old Hanlin stood up and patted the soil on his body, grinning: "Although the world is big, there is nowhere to hide, only by hiding here can you steal a moment of purity." ”

Xiao Hanlin frowned while digging soil for Old Hanlin: "The student just heard a rare news. There was news of a great victory in the first battle from the southwest, but the news didn't make everyone happy, because—"

Old Hanlin waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Hanlin, "Because this victory was not won by the people led by Qin Jian, but another group of people who don't know the details of their identities! So, our Dongliang Imperial Court is now struggling to figure out the specific identity of this team, yes or no?"

Xiao Hanlin stroked his palm, "Teacher, you are amazing, you have never taken half a step out of the study today, and even the morning court has taken sick leave, how can you know so clearly?"

"Who am I, I am the oldest Hanlin in Dongliang Kingdom, and I have been squatting for thirty years just in the position of editor, which is equivalent to soaking in the pile of historical materials in the sea of books day and night, if I can't even see the heart of the world, I also read these books to pigs and dogs!"

Xiao Hanlin nodded, he was already convinced of this.

However, Lao Hanlin really didn't have contact with outsiders all day, why was he able to guess everything in the outside world, and he saw it a hundred times more thoroughly than others!

"There has been a quarrel about this outside, on the one hand, it is joy, after all, we Dongliang have not fought such a happy victory in the past half a year, I heard that it seems that 20,000 Moro soldiers have died, and they are all elites! However, on the one hand, everyone seems to be not very happy, and they are all speculating about who sent out that mysterious force-and--" He lowered his voice and approached Old Hanlin: "The students heard someone secretly discuss, saying that it was likely to be ......"

Old Hanlin raised his hand and grabbed Xiao Hanlin's ear, which hurt Xiao Hanlin's feet: "Hey, hey, I know that you always like to guess riddles, okay, then you always guess, what are they saying!"

"They said that this army could be the people of General Bai Feng Bai. Moreover, the men and horses who ran away from the southwest camp overnight in front of them are now following Marshal Bai Fengbai. ”

Xiao Hanlin nodded, "That's right." It's just an old man, how can the student think that this thing is a little unlikely, think about it, the imperial court sent someone to behead the Bai family, and it was a step late, the Bai family had already caught fire in the middle of the night, and a fire burned white and clean. The imperial court's order to raid the house failed, and the Bai family has disappeared since then. Some believe that they were all burned to death. Some people also said that they had escaped by borrowing fire, but no matter what, the students felt that today's result was incredible, because since General Bai Lao had already seen through the face of the imperial court, why did he still serve the imperial court and take people to fight the Moro army? What good is there in doing so? According to the temperament of our emperor, there will definitely be no good left!"

Old Hanlin looked at the door of the library, but fortunately the heavy wooden door was closed.

The tension that suddenly appeared on Lao Hanlin's face was relieved: "Monkey cub, if you go against the grain like this, you can just chew with my old man in the future, and you don't dare to talk nonsense outside! How many heads do you have to dare to say bad things about this person!"

He held out his right thumb and gave it a thumb up in midair.

"You can't compare with my bad old man! I am now an old man who has been half-buried in the loess, and I am a well-known poisonous mouth, cheeky, and straight man for half my life! Therefore, in this life, I cannot worship the prime minister in the court, and I can only consume the remaining years in this pile of old papers.

What about you, you're different. At the age of your flower bones, it is the time to be motivated, but you don't dare to hurt your life because of a mouth. ”

Xiao Hanlin stuck out his tongue, "The students don't talk nonsense outside, so I'll tell you the truth here." ”

Lao Hanlin scratched his head: "It's hard to tell the truth, it's even harder to hear the truth!" Sometimes I think about it, it's quite boring for us to live in the world as human beings, we can't speak in the first few years of our mother's womb, and we are so anxious that our parents teach them every day, and then we finally learned it, but we were asked what 'don't say anything incivil', 'you will lose too much talk', and 'a gentleman is cautious'...... Later, when I entered the officialdom, I couldn't even say it, and if I wanted to say it, it would be all official words, clichés, lies, empty words, and braggadocio words! As for the truth, truth, straight words, and words in my heart, I would have rotted in my heart and become feces and pulled out of the ***!"

Xiao Hanlin almost burst into laughter.

But endure it, the elders speak, and they don't dare to laugh easily. Even if this old Hanlin is sometimes not big or small, he still has to have the respect he deserves.

"Alas-" Old Hanlin pulled his neck and sighed, "People, it's not easy to be a man! It's hard to be a man, it's hard to be a man!" Bai Feng, the old man, was also forced to have no choice, so he came up with such a bad idea. This is tantamount to playing blind chess with His Majesty. ”

"Blind chess?" Xiao Hanlin was surprised.

Old Hanlin nodded: "If you want my old man to see, his move is not high, on the contrary, it stinks very much!"

Xiao Hanlin pulled his neck and made a deaf look.

"Smack-" A thin book slammed over him and flicked on his head.

When the book landed, Lao Hanlin bent down to pick up the book, "You, don't be so serious, okay? You should be motivated, you should control your mouth and don't talk nonsense." But that's all good in front of others, you don't have to pretend to be here with me, and I don't want to see the young man who is jumping around the most but making a young man who has become a young man and an old man! Isn't it good for us to be real people?"

Xiao Hanlin smiled and said to forgiveness: "Teacher, adult, master, bad old man, what do you want me to do? ”

"That's right!" Old Hanlin smiled, "Behind closed doors, to hell with all the bullshit boss-boss relationships in this library! I'm a bad old man, you're a little fart kid who doesn't understand bullshit! Come on, I'll tell you about the trap here, and you'll understand it all."

Now this Bai Feng is actually riding on the back of a tiger, is it difficult to ride a tiger, do you understand? If you ride it, you can't stay on the back of a tiger for the rest of your life! If you have to get down, how can you get down, you can only find a step for yourself, how to find this step, you can only make a mistake in four words. In his opinion, the biggest problem in front of the emperor of Dongliang is the safety of the country, that is, the Moro army that does not leave the land of Dongliang. We all know that Qin Jian and his southwest battalion have resisted the Moro army for so many days, and there has been no progress at all, if at this juncture, Bai Feng led people to beat Moro to the ground, and even drove him out of the country, and Bai Feng solved the big trouble in the heart of Emperor Zhengxi, then, would Emperor Zhengxi at that time still behead the Bai family?"

Xiao Hanlin nodded: "If it were me, it wouldn't, definitely not." Everyone has made such great achievements, how can they be embarrassed to do it. ”

"No, no—" Old Hanlin shook his head, "You guess the dark belly of the king with the heart of an ordinary person!"

"Do you want to continue to be ruthless? That General Bai still spent so much effort, and even risked his life to fight something, but in the end, it was all in vain, and he was in vain!"

"So, the emperor is ruthless. Lao Hanlin's forehead was full of white hair, and his face was full of distress: "The relationship between the monarch and the minister in ancient times is just like the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there are many subtle places in it, which are difficult to describe in words. But Bai Feng took this step, but there was really no way out. But it's okay, it can be seen that he is enthusiastic after all, and he has the common people in his heart. Even if the court doesn't admit this account in the end, the people of the world will admit it. If it is difficult to succeed, it will become a benevolent, even if you kill yourself, you can also become a martyr. It's just that this step seems simple, but if you really want to take it, step by step, it is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Xiao Hanlin's eyes were also worried, "Teacher, can we help then?"

Old Hanlin nodded: "Wait for the time, as soon as the time comes, I will advise." Since ancient times, martial arts have died in battle, and Wen admonished them to death, all of which are well-deserved deaths. ”

Xiao Hanlin was still confused: "Then what can I do?"

The book in Lao Hanlin's hand knocked on the door of Xiao Hanlin's head again: "You, just work hard, I really want to do something, and when everything settles in a few decades, you write down the Dongliang History with a huge pen like a rafter in your hand, I hope you can still maintain your original intention of being as clear as water today, and truthfully write down these essential words that my old man analyzed today." ”

Xiao Hanlin is even more confused, does this mean that one day, I will become the leader of the Hanlin Academy?
