At the end of late autumn, the cold winter is coming, and the morning and dusk are frosty every day, and only when the afternoon sun shines is there a little warmth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info north of Chang'an City, Weiyang Lake, the autumn breeze is slight, there are more tourists on the south bank, there are many pavilions along the coast, and there are many stone steps for people to fish in Huansha. If it is a warm spring season, there is often a lot of liveliness here, and the people in the city, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, are happy to come here to enjoy the willows, fish and cruise ships, and watch the flowers and chant poetry...... This autumn is cold, and there is a bleak scene along the coast, and there are few people.

Gu Qingxuan, dressed in a dark green cloth robe, carried a slender bamboo pole on his right shoulder, and tied a bamboo fish tube at the end of the bamboo pole.

There sat the imperial historian Yin Jiheng.

At this time, he took off his court clothes, also wore a simple cloth robe, no crown ornaments, held a long fishing rod, sat alone by the lake, looking at a lake of autumn water. Wearing the same cloth clothes, if you say Gu Qingxuan, at this time he looks like an elegant bachelor with a leisurely posture, and Yin Jiheng, no matter how simple his dress is, he is always Yin Jiheng, the head of the Yin family, the family with the deepest influence in Chang'an, no need to deliberately, the aristocratic temperament is naturally revealed, and the self-control of the old nobles in the imperial city is clear at a glance, and it will never change from place to place, let alone the upstart who seeks power.

At a glance, Gu Qingxuan couldn't help but admire in his heart, and beckoned: "Doctor Yin, don't come unharmed?"

When Yin Jiheng saw him coming, he put down his fishing rod, got up and saluted the other party at the same time: "Very good, very good." ”

The two sat down facing the lake together, Gu Qingxuan put down the bamboo pole, and Yin Jiheng picked up the fishing rod. Gu Qingxuan quipped: "Doctor Yin is really leisurely, today is not the period of rest, is it?"

Yin Jiheng said with a smile: "Life in the world, if you don't have a little preference, isn't it too boring? The old man just loves this way, and he comes here alone to fish when he has nothing to do. ”

"Well, everyone has personal preferences, it's just that Gu is not good at fishing. ”

"Then Brother Gu Xian, what do you like?"

He said casually: "I usually love to play chess to get by." ”

"Chess? There is a university question in chess, the old man has not been proficient, and he has to ask the virtuous brother for advice another day. ”

"It's okay or good. ”

The wind was blowing and the weather was cold, Gu Qingxuan was a little thinly dressed, and rubbed his cold hands for a while. Yin Jiheng glanced at him and said, "It's cold in autumn, Brother Gu Xian should pay attention to keeping warm, after all, you and I are both old people, but we can't stand the wind and cold." ”

"yes, this year's autumn seems to have been particularly long...... The cold winter is coming, and the cold is penetrating the bones......" Gu Qingxuan turned and sighed: "It's indeed old...... It's a pity that the years are fleeting, but nothing can be accomplished......"

Yin Jiheng didn't answer his words, and instead said: "Today, I met with Brother Gu Xian here, and the old man wanted to ask Brother Xian what Brother Xian said that day. On that day, the virtuous brother said that the threat of the new upstart to the old nobles of the imperial city seemed to be testing the old man?"

Gu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Isn't Doctor Yin also testing Gu? Dare to ask Doctor Yin if there is a conclusion so far?"

Yin Jiheng said: "There is no way to say whether there is a conclusion, it's just that since then, rumors have arisen in Chang'an City, and the limelight is directed at the Lu family, and the emperor has indeed begun to favor Li Zhaoyi, which makes the old man feel that you have analyzed the affairs of our Yin family quite right." ”

"The Lu family is powerful and arrogant, and it will not last long! And the Yin family has gone through several dynasties, four generations and three dukes, although they did not make contributions to the emperor in the succession, but they won the hearts of the people and won the hearts of the kings, who can win the victory is very clear, why should Doctor Yin worry?"

Yin Jiheng turned his face to face him, met his eyes peacefully, and smiled with deep meaning, "Brother Gu Xian, it is true that the old man did not participate in the seizure of the heir, but the old man clearly knows that you have made a lot of contributions in this dispute, and have assisted Lu Xiangguo for many years, their Lu family has today's power, and there is also a great credit to the old brother, right? But why did you change your position today and hate the Lu family so much?"

Gu Qingxuan hated his eyes, clenched the bamboo pole, gritted his teeth and said: "Why does the doctor ask this? Isn't it clear to see Gu Mou's current situation? As the doctor said, Gu Mou has contributed a lot, and he has worked hard for 20 years, what will happen in exchange?"

Yin Jiheng lowered his eyes and pondered: "The old man understands...... It turns out that all these changes are man-made ......"

He said bluntly: "Having said that, Gu Mou will not be ashamed, Gu Mou just wants to take revenge! I want the Lu family to pay back everything that we owe to our Gu family! In addition, there is nothing else to ask for, if you can't take revenge in this life, Gu Mou will die without turning a blind eye!"

Yin Jiheng's fishing rod trembled, and a layer of ripples appeared on the mirror-like water. Gu Qingxuan asked, "So, does Doctor Yin still have any doubts?"

Yin Jiheng shook his head and said, "Old man Rong thinks about it. ”

Gu Qingxuan calmed down and sat facing the lake, while Yin Jiheng continued to fish with a rod. The shore was shallow, and after waiting for a long time, I finally saw a slightly larger fish swimming over, but instead of going straight to the bait, it circled around the bait, as if it was hesitating and tempting.

Yin Jiheng held his breath and condensed, not moving, waiting for the fish to take the bait. The fish swam a few laps, much closer to the shore, and much clearer, just as it swam closest to the shore, Gu Qingxuan suddenly got up, picked up his bamboo pole, and plunged straight into the water with lightning speed, just hitting the fish, raising a blood-colored wave.

Yin Jiheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the fish that was crossed by the bamboo pole and still swinging its tail, he was stunned for a while, and then laughed and said: "I didn't expect Brother Gu Xian to be not good at fishing, but he is a good catcher!"

Gu Qingxuan said indifferently: "I grew up in a peasant family in Luoyang, lost my mother when I was young, and often went hunting and fishing with my father, but he never taught me fishing, because he never liked to fall into traps by himself, and he often found a good target, saw the right time, took the initiative, and never gave the prey the possibility of escaping." ”

He directly pulled the fish off the bamboo pole with his hands and put it into Yin Jiheng's empty fish bucket, condescendingly confronted him, and said, "This is our Gu family's hunting and fishing method!"

He squatted on the shore and washed his hands, pointed to the fish in the bucket, and smiled at Yin Jiheng: "Gu will not disturb the doctor fishing Yaxing, so I will leave." Please also ask Dr. Yin to enjoy this fatty sea bass. ”

Yin Jiheng glanced at the fish and said, "This is clearly a black fish, not a sea bass." ”

He had turned around and was about to leave, turning back to Yin Jiheng and smiling: "As long as the doctor thinks it's a perch, then it's a perch." ”

……

In the evening, after Gu Qinghuan learned about the fishing, he asked Gu Qingxuan: "Father, do you think that Dr. Yin will be shaken? Did he express his intention to ally today?"

Gu Qingxuan smiled deeply and nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, he will definitely become our ...... A stepping stone. ”

A few days later, a splendid caravan stopped in front of the gate of the Gu Mansion, and the visitor entered the main hall of the Gu family, and the first thing he said after seeing Gu Qingxuan was to smile: "Lord Gu, don't come to be harmed? Recently, the old man heard that Lord Gu has a deep grudge against my Lu family, and the old man came to ask for advice today, see how to make Lord Gu die blindly?"
