Chapter 138: The Fall
Liu Yu knew very well in his heart that since he chose to mix in the system, he had to follow its rules before he had no strength. The road to being an official is nothing more than the imperial examination, recommendation, and simple promotion, and Wang Lixin's hard work only helped him get a showman, indicating that he had participated in the imperial examination, and the status of a jinshi could not be fabricated out of thin air.
Although the imperial examination originated in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it flourished in the Song Dynasty, and although the Jinshi of this era did not ascend to the sky in one day like the later Ming and Qing dynasties, they were also extremely noble. It means that you have entered the class of scholars, and the Great Song Dynasty has always been advertised as "scholars and the Son of Heaven rule the world together".
"Now in such a situation, it is unlikely that the imperial court wants to open a branch to take scholars, so it is just right, this good news is played, if it enters the eyes of the queen mother, it is not impossible to give a jinshi in the name of the official family, otherwise without this skin, it is not easy to discuss the official position, and the road to promotion is almost hopeless."
Wang Lixin said slowly, although the number of scholars in each session of the Great Song Dynasty has greatly increased compared with the previous dynasty, there are too many people who participate. With his talent and hard study, he didn't get to the department until he was in his forties, and this road is like a single-plank bridge, and if you want to walk through, in addition to strength and luck, it is also very difficult.
"If you lead troops to fight against the Tartars, you will also be sloppy, and if you ask a certain person to govern the place, it will definitely make a mess, and the people will not have a good life, which is really not the blessing of the people. It's still good like Jiankang Mansion, with Yuan Tongju and Hu Jiyi to help, you don't need to worry about everything. ”
"You, just a 'lazy' word, civil cumbersome, but the most exquisite talent, the people call 'parents', how can it be called in vain? Put your cleverness, but if you use three points, how can you do badly, Ziqing, don't look at you from the next generation, but the old man thinks that you were born to be a Song person. ”
Wang Lixin was made to cry and laugh by his laziness, he has been together for so long, where do he not know his virtue, he can hide when he encounters a more complicated situation, and push if he can. Liu Yu was also a little embarrassed when he heard his evaluation, but in the end it was from later generations, and many times he did not have the consciousness that an official of this era should have.
"Lu Zhikan, the new official of the imperial court, has some friendship with the old man, these things of yours have to fall on him in the end, the old man has already sent a letter this morning, if you have the opportunity to return to Lin'an, you might as well visit him in the house, but people go to tea and cool, if you don't have to expect too much."
"The three ministers of the political affairs hall, Chen and Quan are resolute, and they are in the limelight at this time, so try to avoid them if they don't have trouble with him. Wang Entropy, like him, was like a person before, but the two have always been incompatible, and this time they are inevitably-for-tat at the same time. As for Liumengyan, he is extremely treacherous, and he acts in the wind and rudder, so he must be extra careful when intersecting with him. ”
Liu Yu listened to Wang Lixin's narration, these are things that can't be seen from the history books, of course he knows that the old man is pointing him out, these ways are too complicated, he has always disliked them, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand, this point, as for giving him a rough understanding of the trio in the political hall, there is nothing new, or the set of checks and balances between each other.
"This Jiankang Mansion is good, but it's a pity that the old man chose a place for you, but now the matter has not yet been decided, and when the time comes, you will naturally know. In the future, if you want to build a government office, you can't do it without a competent person in your hands, why do you think the old man wants to release Yang Xingqian, it is left for you, first recruit him to be a staff member, this person has some skills, you can see it slowly in the future. ”
"Besides, if you don't like to hear something, did you ever have a wife and a child in that afterlife?" Liu Yu was listening intently, and when he was asked this question, he shook his head, slightly surprised in his heart, these are two different time and space, with or without what can affect anything?
"That's good, even if some things can escape the laws of the world, they can't escape their hearts. What the old man wants to say is that since he is on this eunuch road, the help of his wife is also very important, and it is not ashamed to marry a competent in-law, which is why the old man said that Sister Pheasant is not a good match for you, this child has been miserable since she was a child, how can she bear to let her be a concubine again. ”
Speaking of pheasant slaves again, Liu Yu suddenly realized that he felt that people were still young and used the point of view of later generations, here, it was already the age when they could talk about marriage, and for such a thing as an arranged marriage, as a person from later generations, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply said it directly.
"It's funny, a certain and Jin Ming have a good relationship, and they regard Sister Pheasant as a sister, why the public knows, a certain can swear to the sky, and has never thought of it. As for whether to get married, because the parents at home are still there, please forgive me for not being able to accept it, and the public's kindness can only be understood. ”
Hearing his answer, Wang Lixin nodded and stopped talking, while he still had some energy, thinking about whether there was anything else to remind him of. Liu Yu saw that from the time he came in, he was talking about other people's affairs, and he didn't mention his family at all, which seemed a little abnormal.
After saying these words for a long time in one breath, Wang Lixin's spirit slowly began to deteriorate, and a wave of tiredness came to his heart, and he was so tired that he wanted to close his eyes. When Liu Yu saw this situation, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly went out, there were more people in the courtyard than just now, Hu Sanxing, Ye Yingji, Meng Zhijin, Yuan Hong and others all rushed together, filling the place to a full house.
"How's the plea going?" When Hu Sansheng saw him come out, he walked up and grabbed him, and asked eagerly, and the eyes of the others were also here.
"Please come in, he" Liu Yu choked for a while, his throat seemed to be plugged and couldn't speak, everyone listened to his words, they all understood the meaning of the back, Wang Lin even quickened his pace, and quickly ran past him, Hu Sanxing and others also walked in, and saw the old man on the bed with his eyes closed, all of them hid their faces and cried.
Hearing the movement, Wang Lixin opened his eyes, and his faint gaze swept over the people in the room one by one, with a relieved smile on his face, seeing that everyone's noses were sour, but he didn't know what to say, Wang Lin had already fallen to the ground, grabbing his gradually cold hand and making a low sob.
"The old man will take the first step, and the state affairs will be entrusted to you, on the other day, if it is a fluke, the Great Song Dynasty is still standing, don't forget to give the old man a pillar of incense to tell him. What a pity! I have seen its progress, but I have not seen its end!"
The long chant was long, the afterglow gradually faded, everyone heard it with tears streaming down their faces, except for Wang Lin, who was standing here, all of them were his colleagues and subordinates, and most of the relatives in the house did not see the last face, and the old man was still in danger of the Great Song Dynasty when he was dying, but it was comforting that compared to the original history, he walked quite calmly.
In the early morning of the next day, under the wooden pillars of the long street in front of Anningfang, it was full of people as usual, and the people were waiting for the loudspeaker above their heads to sound, although the war was over, but this entertainment was still going on, and the daily storytelling jokes and songs were still endless.
Lin Dong's rouge gouache has recently begun to sell well, and the stock is depleting quickly, and now that the Tartars have retired from the army, it should be safe on the road. He was still thinking about going to Jiangnan one day to bring in some goods, but the "Grandpa Yue's Commentary" that he had been listening to was coming to an end, and he was reluctant to give up, so he couldn't do it, so he could only let the housekeeper take someone on a trip.
But today seems a little unusual, after waiting for a long time, at least half an hour has passed than usual, the loudspeaker still did not move, the people began to whisper, and after a while, when the hawkers under the pillar had begun to shoulder their shoulders and were about to leave, the voice of Yinghong suddenly sounded from the horn, the voice was not as crisp as usual, as if crying.
"The people of Jiankang City, Yinghong wants to report a misfortune to everyone here, just led us to fight hard, defeated the Tartar army of Jianghuai to recruit the envoy Wang Gong, because of the heart of the country, accumulated hard work, died yesterday night, at the age of seventy-four, Wang Gong has issued an edict before his death, the city should not be mourned, the people are still as usual"
Hearing Yinghong's sobbing voice, everyone was stunned for a while, this Wang Gong and everyone knew it, but they were usually very low-key, and it was rare to see them in leisure. Such a big official, just leave, and then think that he would work so hard for the safety of the people in the city, everyone looked gloomy.
"Today, it is also the last broadcast of this radio station, months of companionship, let us witness this great victory, Yinghong and all the colleagues who participated in the broadcast thank you, please enjoy the eightieth episode of Ping Hatsheng's "Jingzhong Says Yue" 'Table Jingzhong Tomb Top Seal, Prove the Cause and Effect of Dapeng Return'."
Ping Hatsheng's familiar tone sounded again, Lin Dongjia and the people under the pillar knew that this was the last time, and they heard bad news in a row, and for a while, everyone lost interest in speaking, and quietly under the pillar, only Ping Hatsheng's storytelling voice rippled in the air.
The poem said: Strive to be heroic and heroic, and work hard in the hundred battles of the year. The sun and the moon are the same as the bright and the brave, and the heavens and men learn from each other in the clear heart. The name of loyalty and righteousness is still there, and a few beacons have been emptied. The traitor has been hated for eternity, Yuan Rong who is with Li Qigong! ”
This time Zhang Qingyun did not say, "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next decomposition", but directly thanked the people of Jiankang who had listened to him for so long, looking at the sergeants who were ready to start cleaning up outside, thinking of the experience these days, he suddenly felt a little reluctant, it seems that this storytelling is more attractive than reading books to test fame.
Yinghong on the side had already red eyes, Zhang Qingyun understood that the two were in the same mood, for several months, it could be regarded as getting along day and night, now that the matter is over, I don't know if there will be a chance to see each other again in the future, he sighed secretly in his heart, stood up and took out his handkerchief and handed it over.
