Chapter 64: The Disaster of the Emperor's List
"Big brother!" Thirteen looked at the visitor in surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, it was still early, and Thirteen was practicing martial arts in the yard, and last night he cleaned up until midnight, and Xiaobao was still asleep in the house at this time.
After thinking about it for a while, Thirteen immediately understood that the dark guard had his own contact information, and the eldest brother must have found himself through Wu Shi.
"This is not the place to talk, you come with me." The five princes flickered through the courtyard and quickly disappeared into the twilight of the morning. The courtyard was silent again, as if no one had come.
Thirteen followed his brother to the alley, where a carriage that looked similar to his own was parked.
"Sister-in-law?" Thirteen was a little surprised, and hurriedly saluted, why did the eldest brother bring his sister-in-law out?
"Thirteenth brother." Zhu Yuanrong smiled gently, and he couldn't find a flaw in the number of etiquette.
Zhu returned the salute, took refuge in the inner room, and the carriage started.
Thirteen has a stomach that he wants to ask, but he doesn't know which one to say first.
"Thirteen has grown taller." It was the fifth prince who broke the silence first, he looked at his younger brother with relief, he had also learned the moves of the thirteenth practice just now, and it should not be a problem for his younger brother to protect himself now.
"Big brother, are you..." seriously injured? How's your errand?
Li Desheng understood his brother's subtext, "It's okay, just let the thief run away." ”
"Who is so bold?" Assassinate the prince, do you want to punish the nine clans?!
Li Desheng shook his head, "I haven't found out who is behind the scenes." "The dead are all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, their real masters... Somehow, Li Desheng remembered the person who bought wine that day.
"It's hateful!" Thirteen's black pupils pierced with a sinister aura.
"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, but you, why did you come to Jinan? I heard my father say, do you want to study at Taishan Academy? ”
"Yes, it's me, we..."
"What, Thirteen also has unspeakable secrets?" This question is a little sour, Li Desheng has an indescribable little loss, and his younger brother has grown up and has his own secrets.
"No, it's not," Thirteen didn't know why he was blushing, it must be because the weather was too hot, "Taishan Academy is the best academy in Shandong, naturally, naturally..."
"Oh, really?" Li Desheng's smile had a deep meaning, and Thirteen felt even hotter.
"Big brother," Thirteen wanted to quickly divert the topic, "Are you coming to Shandong this time?" Or did you just bring your sister-in-law out to play?
"Speaking of which, this has something to do with you."
I? Thirteen was stunned, the master is very well-behaved, it won't be exposed, right?
"Shu Qinglan, do you know?" The fifth prince stared playfully at the expression on his younger brother's face, which was really funny.
"Sunny... Qinglan? Thirteen didn't know why his tongue didn't obey him.
"It seems to be an acquaintance." Li Desheng deliberately smiled and did not speak.
"What's wrong with her?" knew that his brother did it on purpose, but Thirteen still couldn't hold back.
"Well, see for yourself." Li Desheng handed the imperial list to be announced today to the thirteenth.
"This..."Thirteen closed his mouth, Father Emperor is roasting Mr. Ji and Qinglan on the fire!
******
This morning's palace was very lively, and the emperor, who had not issued a new decree for a long time, sent a messenger to post the imperial list, and soon, the copied imperial list was distributed to the doors of major academies and bookstores.
"Use punctuation marks......" thought an old man wearing tortoiseshell glasses as he read the words on the list.
"What, what?" The crowd of onlookers was confused and couldn't understand.
"It's exams, books, letters, etc., separated by these symbols." A young man next to him had already finished reading, but he was still a little confused, who brought this up?
"And what's the second one?" An aunt asked impatiently and loudly, apparently not interested in the study of things. She wanted to know if the emperor would transfer grain to Shandong or something, and the price of wheat kernels had risen again today!
"Simplified Chinese characters can also be used officially, and no mixing of simplified and traditional Chinese characters ......"
"Oh Mom, I know this, the simplified Chinese characters are good, and the simplified characters are fast!" didn't wait for Lao Xiu to finish reading, and someone in the crowd praised him.
"Ignorant women and children!" There are also older people of the older generation or readers who disagree very much, they feel that the so-called "punctuation" is a sign of laziness, of course, in the eyes of most readers, simplified Chinese characters are typos, the difference between culture and culture.
"Evening Training...... You can take the literacy exam, and the certificate will be issued after passing the ......" Lao Xiucai was still reading the list intermittently, and some elderly people couldn't believe it at all.
"What?! We can also go to the school to study?! ”
The crowd exploded.
******
The weather in Jinan looks special, and it feels like the sky is always shining with warm light, and everything looks like being caged in a halo of pale yellow.
Xiaobao couldn't wait to drag Thirteen to the next door for breakfast, he didn't find that his good brother had "disappeared" for a while in the morning, and today he said that he would go to Jinan Mansion, but Thirteen seemed to be out of state.
The twin brothers did not slack off because of the young age of several people, on the contrary, the two were very enthusiastic, they played a native of Jinan, stepped on the ground and worked well, step by step, three sentences, introducing the local customs and folklore.
The first stop was naturally Taishan Academy, only a few steps away, and Wu Shi did not drive.
The door face of the academy is very conspicuous, not only because the plaque on the vermilion gate is personally mentioned by Emperor Yuan Qi, but also because of a magnificent archway standing in front of the door.
Because the academy has not officially opened, the gate is closed at the moment, and I can't see it today, and the group is ready to visit Daming Lake.
Who knew that before he could leave, a group of students who were surrounding the official public post of the emperor squeezed over, and the discussion was so lively. Thirteen wanted to take everyone away, but Xiaobao was as slippery as a loach and had already gotten to the front.
Qinglan was also a little curious, and when she saw the yellow paper and red letters on the emperor's list, she was stunned for a moment, and she felt a sense of shame that the diary was exposed to the public.
How could it be?!
Qinglan doesn't have the heart to go shopping anymore, she wants to find Mr. Ji!
******
The backyard of the Office of the Government of the University is cool and pleasant, thanks to a pool of good spring water that comes from the water, and thanks to it, the flowers and plants in the courtyard still grow very vigorously and full of vitality even in Jinan, where the drought is severe.
At this time, the sun had risen, and the three men were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, and the water for cooking tea came from this spring, which was sweet and sweet.
"Today's emperor's list, Fang Xuezheng has made a lot of contributions, right?" Ji Zhaoya was dissatisfied with Fang Tongru stabbing this matter in front of the emperor, and sarcastically mocked him for being promoted to an official and patting him with a good hand.
"If you say that this matter has nothing to do with you, Mr. Ji will never believe it, and it is Fang's duty to select the best talents for the emperor." Fang Tongru didn't care about Tai Chi, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and smelled the aroma of tea. Tut-tut, it's really top-grade, it's rare for Kong Shan to be generous once, Ji Zhaoya is really different in his heart.
Kong Shanchang was very dissatisfied with Fang Tongru's jack-of-all-trades answer, "The emperor's move...", must have been deliberate, to retaliate against the old man's refusal to allow him to enter the palace, but he was ...... back then. I also have something unspeakable.
Kong Shangxian had a straight face, and he couldn't stop slandering, didn't he cover the academy on his head! If you don't send it early or late, the article has been handed over for so long, and the emperor didn't make a move until he got Ji Zhaoya now, it's really...!
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to block the leisurely mouths of scholars all over the world." Ji Zhaoya understands that the emperor is tying him to Kong Shanchang, and when the time comes, there will be a descendant of the Kong family and a Jiangnan Ji family, whether this matter is good or bad, whether it is praised or not, it is the responsibility of the two of them. I don't know if my little apprentice has seen the Huang Bang, she is only nine years old, is she cruel?
"What are you afraid of," Fang Tongru didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and added a bowl of tea to himself, he liked the current position, and both sides had to win him over and look at his face. "This is the emperor's will, who dares to disobey."
"Hehe, the emperor is really... Foresight (insidious and cunning). Ji Zhaoya remembered the letter she wrote to the emperor, and it was difficult to say who was cheated by whom.
"What? Feel sorry for your little apprentice? Fang Tongru was joking, but in fact, he secretly poked Ji Zhaoya's heart.
Ji Zhaoya smiled and didn't answer, Fang Tongru, Fang Tongru, the agency is too clever in calculation, but don't be smart but be mistaken by cleverness and lose Qingqing's life.
"Worried she'll not survive?" Kong Shanchang was a little angry with Qinglan, and he himself realized it, so he changed his tone.
Ji Zhaoya said: "If she can't survive, she will be here." "The edge of the officialdom was scared away before it was touched, and his disciple Ji Zhaoya was not so cowardly.
Yes, if this little girl folds here... I don't know why, Fang Tongru has an indescribable pleasure, the most annoying genius!
"Today, someone Fang has a treat, and there is a Yangzhou restaurant by the lake, which tastes good. Mr. Ji hasn't heard of the new row of "The Story of Huansha", so he happened to go to Minghuju to take a look. Fang Tongru waited to see Ji Zhaoya and Kong Shanchang's good show, and his eyebrows flew when he spoke.
Qinglan didn't find Mr. Ji, and the children were in a very low mood. Xiaobao thought of the sea in Jiaoao, and proposed to swim in Daming Lake, and maybe he could feel better to see the scenery.
Qinglan nodded in agreement, what should come will always come, revolution, there will always be sacrifices. Hehe, who calls himself in the limelight, he deserves it! Qinglan sneered self-deprecatingly.
Taishan Academy is in the middle of Daming Lake and Qianfo Mountain, along Minghu Road, densely populated, carrying the burden of small merchants and hawkers, cart work, lively street market, a few people while walking around, soon came to the dock rental office.
Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiang bought a lot of snacks along the way, and a few people chartered a painting boat and swam to the center of the lake.
Today happens to be in the summer, the sky is blue and cloudless, and the lake is breezy and cool, which is quite a bit of autumn.
The large lotus flowers in the middle of the lake have long since bloomed, leaving only a green lotus leaf, and occasionally a small lotus pod; The white red-billed gull shuttles through it, poking its head into the water from time to time, and flies with a high price.
Qinglan remembered the famous classic line, and couldn't help but smile: Your Majesty, do you still remember the summer rain lotus on the shore of Daming Lake back then?
Thirteen and Mingyu had been secretly observing Qinglan's expression, and when they saw her smiling, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Thirteen racked his brains all the way, thinking about how to make Qinglan happy, he felt a little guilty about Qinglan, after all, his father did something inauthentic in this matter.
Fortunately, Qinglan was very big-hearted, and several people chatted while eating, and a bowl of lotus leaf lotus seed soup was put into their stomachs, and they quickly left the matter of the emperor list behind.
When everyone was full of food and drink, Gu leaned on the side of the boat to enjoy the scenery, the afternoon sun was hot, and with the gentle breeze, Qinglan actually fell asleep by the window. By the time she woke up, it was almost time.
At this time, Daming Lake was not yet as complete as the later generations, and the place of the Tiegong Temple was still an idle land, with lush vegetation and green trees.
The painting boat rowed from south to north, crossed the Quehua Bridge, but it was to the edge.
"Stop there." Hariran told the boatman to stop at the west end.
"How does Miss Shu know that the best view of the mountains here?" Zhang Xiang was a little surprised, this place was accidentally discovered by him last year.
Qinglan smiled and didn't answer, what did she say, saying that I had been here in my previous life?
"Where's the mountain view?" Xiaobao jumped ashore in three steps and two jumps.
Qinglan pointed to the lake in the distance, "Look, the reflection of Foshan." ”
Like a big painting, the Ming Lake is as clear as a mirror, the reflection of the Thousand Buddha Mountain is clearly imprinted on the surface of the lake, the buildings and trees are extraordinarily glorious, and the mountain scenery in the water is even more beautiful than the Thousand Buddha Mountain above, and it is clear.
It's better to see the bottom of the mountain, and a pile of smoke can't be put away.
Xiaobao: "Wow..."
Mingyu and Brother He also watched, there is no lake in Weixian County, and the scene of such mountains and rivers intersecting is too amazing.
Thirteen stood behind Qinglan, this scene, this place, this person, that mountain, that water, that boat, like a wielding carving knife, embedded the picture deeply in his heart.
"Lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake." Qinglan was moved.
"You say it again?" Xiaobao was shocked, this was the most apt poem he had ever heard.
Qinglan blinked, isn't this poem famous? How do you all have a pair... The expression of the hell.
"Sir." Xiaobao was the first to salute Qinglan.
Mr? It's just a poem, not rather... Xiaobao is confused?
"Sir." Thirteen and Mingyu also bowed to Qinglan.
Qinglan suddenly turned around, "Master?!" ”
Mr. Ji walked towards them with a smile, followed by Fang Xuezheng and a dry and thin old man.
"Haven't you seen Kong Shanchang yet?" Mr. Ji first introduced Kong Shanxian to the children.
Is he the current Sheng Yan Gong? Descendants of Confucius?
Qinglan and the others immediately stood in awe, especially Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiang, the two brothers were together, and the small movements continued, which showed the excitement and admiration in their hearts. Confucius yes, but... Qinglan looked at Kong Shanchang's height, uh, it's okay, it's not much shorter than Confucius.
"What were you looking at just now?" Fang Xuezheng glanced at Qinglan's expression, what's the matter, doesn't she know about the emperor's list?
Qinglan and Xiaobao got out of the way, and a beautiful reflection of Foshan suddenly broke into everyone's sight.
Even Ji Zhaoya, who reads poetry and books for a hundred years, is deeply attracted by the scene in front of her, and it is better to see it than to hear it.
"Sir," Xiaobao deliberately behaved Qinglan in front of Fang Xuezheng, "Qinglan just made a poem. ”
Qinglan is embarrassed, I didn't do it
"Oh, let's hear it." Fang Xuezheng really took the bait. Kong Shanchang on the side also listened attentively.
Xiaobao crutched Qinglan with his elbow, "Read it again." ”
Qinglan is embarrassed, plagiarism is shameful...
"Don't be shy, let's hear it." Although Fang Xuezheng was curious, he didn't look down on this group of children.
"Lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake." Qinglan had to pronounce, her voice was crisp and round, as if coming from the red glow of the sunset in the distance.
Kong Shanchang finally had an expression other than seriousness, and for the first time, he looked at the little girl in front of him.
******
Early in the morning of the second day, Qinglan and others went to the academy to report, but before they reached the gate of the academy, they were stopped by a row of students, and many students returning to school were already blocked outside the archway.
I saw those students holding banners high, sitting in danger, blocking the door to protest, and a line of big words was written on the banner: Shameless to be with women, Shu Qinglan got out of Taishan Academy.
Thirteen's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot.
