"Xiao Ke came from Wanling County, got sick on the way, ran out of money, and now he has nothing on him. Fang Qingyin replied honestly.

"Phew, your name is Hanako!" Doorman Yi suddenly turned his eyes and said angrily, "Sure enough, he was looking for the two of us to fight the tooth sacrifice!

As soon as the words fell, the guard Yi was annoyed and ashamed, and as soon as he raised his foot, he kicked Fang Qingyin out.

Fang Qingyin didn't take precautions, he was in the middle of his waist, he fell down the steps, and couldn't get up for a long time.

But it was Qiaoli, at this time, slowly came to take a sedan chair and stopped in front of the Zhaoxian Pavilion. A middle-aged official with a fat head and big ears walked out of the sedan chair slowly, and it was He Jingde, the cultural supervisor of the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

The two guards caught a glimpse of it, hurriedly stepped forward, nodded their heads, and called "Lord".

He Jingde only nodded indifferently.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyin suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, staggered up, walked to He Jingde, bowed respectfully and said: "Xiao Ke Fang Qingyin, I have been studying for more than ten years, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has issued a recruitment list, so I am here to apply, and I hope that Lord Wan will be successful." ”

He Jingde looked Fang Qingyin up and down, and when he saw that he was ragged and looked like a beggar, he was disdainful, but there were many onlookers on the long street, so he had to go through the motions.

So, He Jingde said: "You beggar really dare to come to apply for the recruitment! Since you have your own talents, you will follow me into the museum, write an essay and show your knowledge." ”

"Yes, yes...... Thank you, sir, thank you, sir......" Fang Qingyin was flattered, and the chicken kept bowing like pecking rice.

"Enough is enough...... Come in with me. He Jingde waved his hand lightly and walked towards the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

Fang Qing was overjoyed and then entered the Recruitment Hall.

For a while, He Jingde ordered his henchmen and servants to take the four treasures of the study and put them on top of the copy.

Fang Qingyin's face was full of red light, so he was not excited, grinding ink and laying paper, and writing hard.

Write it on a piece of rice paper, and the confidant servant took it and handed it to He Jingde to see.

wrote more than ten pieces of paper in a row, and it took more than an hour for Fang Qingyin to write a "Twelve Sparse Governance".

Sure enough, the literary style is flying and magnificent.

The literary brilliance is flying, such as the peacock opening the screen, the peony blossoming, and the momentum is magnificent, like the heavenly river flowing backwards, rushing for thousands of miles.

He Jingde watched with a heartbeat, and his complexion gradually changed.

When Fang Qingyin delivered the last piece of rice paper, He Jingde shouted with a heavy face: "Okay, your name is Huazi, you are so ignorant of the height of the sky, you are not ashamed!"

"Your Excellency: You...... What are you talking about?" Fang Qingyin was still immersed in the joy of writing a book, and when he heard this, he was at a loss.

"Get out of here quickly, otherwise I will take you to jail and take your life!" He Jingde drank it, and with a wave of his sleeves, he ordered Fang Qingyin to go out.

"My lord, my lord, my lord......" Fang Qingyin was about to ask a few words.

"Get out, get out!" The two fucha pushed, shoved, and occasionally kicked two feet, driving Fang Qingyin out.

Fang Qingyin's second king Kong couldn't touch his head, but he had already been kicked out of the Zhaoxian Hall in the dark, and he had a good meal of punches and feet, so it was not painful.

In the Zhaoxian Museum, He Jingde touched the rice paper whose ink had not dried, and couldn't help but admire: "Good talent, good penmanship! With this article alone, I can get an official position for my thirteen nephews. ”

After that, He Jingde dried the ink with his mouth, rolled the more than ten pieces of rice paper together, and proudly went straight to the palace to meet Li Yu.

Li Yu is the founding emperor, very wise, governing the foundation, thirsty for talent, seeing that there is a suitable document table, hurriedly took the table in his hand, and read it one by one.

I saw that the article stated 12 detailed items such as running schools, water conservancy, governance, army management, enriching the people, good neighborliness, and virtue.

Li Yu looked at it carefully, and praised again and again: "Good literary talent, good knowledge! This person really has the material of Emperor Zuo! But in today's time when the heroes are competing for the deer, our country's national strength is weak, but we dare not make strong plans." As for setting up culture and education, building water conservancy, and being kind to neighbors, it is very good. He Qing invites him to the palace tomorrow, and I will entrust him with the post of a county, so that he can sharpen it first, so that he can be used by my children and grandchildren in the future. ”

When He Jingde heard this, he hurriedly fell to the ground and thanked him: "The little minister thanked His Majesty for the little nephew." ”

"This person is actually He Qing's virtuous nephew? Why don't you recommend me early! God really helps me to have a great cause forever." Li Yu was pleasantly surprised and praised it.

He Jingde's heart was overjoyed, danced to thank him, and then bowed his head and bowed his back to exit the palace.

Later, Li Yu really adopted some of the suggestions in Fang Qingyin's text, such as: building culture and education, overhauling water conservancy, friendship and good-neighborliness, advocating morality, etc., so that Jiangnan Dazhi, well-dressed, and became the powerhouse of the Ten Kingdoms, which was highly praised by later historians, and Li Yu was also respected as Emperor Guangwensu Wu Xiaogao.

He Jingde achieved a fame for his nephew, not only was Emperor Li Yu kept in the dark, but Fang Qingyin also knew nothing.

As the saying goes: Qu Jiayi is in Changsha, not the master of ignorance;

It's really the different circumstances of each life. This kind of stealing beams and changing pillars and flouting the law has existed in all dynasties, even in the Qingming world, it is also common, and unfortunately it fell on Fang Qingyin's head today.

He was originally going to rely on his chest knowledge to seek an official and a half-position, so as to do his best for the country and the people, but unexpectedly, he ate and drank Ou Da, was driven away from the Zhaoxian Hall, and if he was not careful, his life would be difficult to protect.

Fang Qingyin was discouraged for a while, and begged in Jinling City in fear for a few days, trying to survive everywhere, and was also blasted out as a beggar as usual.

This night, Fang Qingyin was lying on the corner of the street, waking up hungry, thinking about it, and actually thinking about the beauty of the girl.

It turns out that when this person is in trouble, it is very easy to think of the person who is best for him, although Ao Xianggong is also very good to Fang Qingyin, but it is more gratitude, and the good of the beautiful girl is the kind that makes him feel warm.

Fang Qingyin said in a stunned voice: If I go back, I am afraid that others will laugh at me; if I don't go back, I really have no place to stand. This ambition to serve the country and the world has been in vain, it is better to go back first, then sell the old house, and then make a living elsewhere, anyway, Tanjiazhuang is embarrassed to stay.

After Fang Qingyin made up his mind, he went all the way back from begging in the open air.

Stop-and-go, stop-and-go, after more than two months, Fang Qingyin returned to Tanjiazhuang.

The season has reached the middle of winter, the snow is falling, and the four fields are snow-white.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the sky, Fang Qingyin knocked on the door of the Tan Mansion.

The doorman opened the door and saw that it was Fang Qingyin's despondent return, and he was taken aback, and was busy reporting to Ao Xianggong.

Ao Xianggong hurriedly came out, and when he saw that scene, he was so shocked that he hurriedly took off his fox skin robe and draped it on Fang Qingyin's body, brought it into the house, and ordered hot water, wine and food to entertain him.

Fang Qingyin was like seeing his father, crying loudly, and recounting his experience. When Ao Xianggong heard about it, although he was filled with righteous indignation, but his life was like this, and he was naturally helpless. Fang Qingyin then told Ao Xianggong about his thoughts. Ao Xianggong knew that he couldn't be dissuaded, so he sent some silver taels and let him go.

Fang Qingyin has studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he is full of money, but he does not know how to make a living, and his parents have died, and he is alone and has no livelihood. Now that he has failed to achieve fame, he has returned in despair, ashamed of his hometown, and is ready to go away.

In the blink of an eye, the old calendar has ended, and Sanyang Kaitai coincides with the spring.

After all, no one cared about the old mansion, Fang Qingyin could spend all his silver, but he owed the beautiful girl a lot of wine money. The guests who came to eat and drink made fun of him: the old house was sold, but the ancestral industry had been ruined, and what was the use of reading thousands of books after all?

Only the beautiful lady treats each other sincerely, still the same, and seems to cherish him even more. Fang Qingyin naturally understood in his heart that it was not appropriate to point it through.

On that day, Fang Qingyin came to Meiniang's wine shop again and ate wine on credit. When I sat down, I heard everyone talking about it, and they looked very angry.

It turned out that a few days ago, a chess player came to the land temple, boasting that he had played a chess endgame, and he had never met an opponent, and he was willing to meet the opponent with a number of five to one. There were people from all directions, but no one could beat them, but they turned the ratio to ten to one. And Tan Gongzi also suffered a big defeat and was humiliated. The bald guy is straight and there is no one here, and tomorrow he is ready to go.

Fang Qingyin heard it clearly, and couldn't help but be angry, so he asked, "Where is the chess master now?"

A man named Wang Er was just about to answer, when he saw a fifty-year-old man walking in outside the door, fat and short, rosacea, bald with only a few silver hairs left, carrying a pair of chess sets and two wooden stacked pestles on his left shoulder, and a cloth on his right shoulder.

When he entered the store, the old man chose a vacant seat, put down his utensils, and called for wine to eat.

But it happened to be a coincidence: Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and it was the old man who played the chess endgame in front of the Land Temple!

When Wang Er saw it, he immediately whispered in Fang Qingyin's ear for a while and retreated.

Fang Qingyin understood what he heard, strode to the other side of the old man's table, opened the long table, sat down and said, "I heard that the old man has superb chess skills and will be invincible all over the world, so I want to play two games with you." ”

The old man glanced at it, pushed aside the bamboo chopsticks on the table, took the chess set and opened it, and shook a small bag of copper plates and fine silver in the chain on the table, about two or three taels.

"This is the silver that the old man won here, and he was a member of the association, and he had no intention of taking it away. All you need is five pennies to win a game, and it will be all yours. The old man said.

"This ......" Fang Qingyin suddenly showed embarrassment, "Why do you always say this, this chess game is a graceful thing, why should it be linked to silver?"

"The old man is counting on chess-style mixed food, who has time to talk to you about elegant things. If you have money, the old man will play three games with you, and if you don't have money, you might as well pull it down. The old man said.
