Chapter 135: Misfortune (I)
"Han Ren, this time to go to Jingshi, I only tell you two things." At the gate of Guizhou City, Huang Lian, who saw him off, said to Li Sanjian.
"Professor Huang, please speak, and the students will listen." Li Sanjian bowed his hand and said respectfully.
After four days of competition and nearly a month of long waiting, Li Sanjian successfully solved the problem with articles such as "On Lingnan Business Opportunities", and was unanimously praised by the examiners in Guizhou.
It is not uncommon for the Song Dynasty to win the title twice in a row, but it is extremely rare.
Everyone just doesn't know if Li Sanjian will fall into place again? The opposite is the opposite, it is universal, and it is all too common. And the succession and the first is extremely rare, but it is not nothing, such as the court prime minister Zhang Dan, the first tribute was ashamed to rank below his nephew, so he angrily resigned from the fame, the next year, and again in the next year, and again in the department, for a while, it became a beautiful talk.
Whether Li Sanjian will fall in succession or become the top in one fell swoop is unknown.
"One is that your edge cannot be exposed, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Huang Lian touched his beard and said slowly.
Li Sanjian's "On Lingnan Business Opportunities" had spread all over Guizhou at this time, and it was widely circulated among Lingnan scholars and appreciated by everyone. Huang Lian estimates that it won't be long before this article spreads all over the world.
"The husband governs the miasma first, and only when the miasma is cured can there be a foothold... Huang Lian is still deeply impressed by this sentence, and he recited this article backwards, and Huang Lian has even transcribed a copy and put it in his residence to enjoy it every day.
In the eyes of most people, Lingnan is a wasteland or a dead land, and they are afraid to avoid it, but Li Sanjian actually expressed his own unique views in the article, that is, to govern Lingnan, turn Lingnan into a grain and commercial base, and compete with the north, and many other unique, fresh but practical insights, which made Huang Jian and others greatly surprised.
Huang Jian was very satisfied with Li Sanjian at this time, the only thing he was worried about was that Li Sanjian was too sharp, which would inevitably cause the jealousy of others, so it would be a bit counterproductive for Li Sanjian.
"The second is ... It is. Huang Lian then said with some hesitation: "Kaifeng Mansion is a big dye vat, the water is as deep as the sea, I hope you can get out of the mud without staining." ”
Big dye vats? What to dye? Li Sanjian was puzzled by Huang Lian's second exhortation, but Huang Lian's concern and love were overflowing, which made Li Sanjian's heart greatly moved, so he respectfully thanked him: "The professor's teachings are remembered by the students and never dare to forget." On this parting occasion, the student also has a sentence he wants to say to the professor, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”
"If you have something to say, just say it." Huang Lian nodded.
Li Sanjian also hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Professor, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, if it is too rigid, it will break, and it is very easy to break... ”
Li Sanjian didn't explain too much, everyone understands people, Huang Jian should be able to understand what Li Sanjian means.
Cast it with a peach and repay it with Li, Li Sanjian is thinking about Huang Lian.
Huang Lian has a straightforward personality, and he is extremely honest as an official, and he can be described as a pool of clear water, so Huang Lian will definitely offend his colleagues and officials. It is also for this reason that Huang Lian, who was born in the same jinshi, was moved from a county order to the judge of the Guizhou festival after more than ten years, and he is still an official in a remote place in Lingnan, and he is not as good as an official who is not from a jinshi.
You must know that the entire Song Dynasty officialdom is extravagant, including the emperor, and at the same time compares with each other, so how can Huang Lian have a foothold?
Li Sanjian does not oppose or hate incorruptibility, but admires it, but everything must have a degree, and he can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes, such as Zeng Gongming giving Huang Lian a gift, basically to thank Shien, but Zeng Gongming was scolded by Huang Lian, is this a bit too much? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.
However, Li Sanjian thought about it again, and Zeng Gongming, in addition to Xie Shien, more or less contained the meaning of needing Huang Lian's support.
Speaking of easy, it is difficult to do, at this time Li Sanjian sighed in his heart.
"Nonsense." Huang Jian was immediately annoyed when he heard this, and said to Li Sanjian: "You take care of yourself first." ”
Huang Lian said that he brushed his sleeves and left...
How could Huang Lian not know that it was because of this that it was difficult for him to move his official position, and his career was not smooth, but the nature of the country was easy to change and difficult to change, so what could he do if he knew? I can't change it if I know it.
Huang Jian persuaded Li Sanjian to get out of the sludge without staining, but he was good and persuaded himself to go with the flow? How unreasonable is ... Huang Jian thought angrily.
"This... This... Donglin, Professor Huang he... Li Sanjian was dumbfounded when he saw this, and stood in place awkwardly looking at Huang Lian's distant back.
"Haha, brother." Zeng Gongming laughed and patted Li Sanjian on the shoulder and said, "The professor is a personality, and no one can change it." ”
"Don't talk about the professor." Zeng Gongming then said to Li Sanjian: "Brother, are you so impatient? Do you have to leave Guizhou now? Stay a little longer, let the brothers do their best landlord friendship. ”
After Li Sanjian obtained the qualification to lift people, he was about to return to Kaifeng Mansion immediately, which was simply non-stop and urgent, which made Zeng Gongming incomprehensible.
Last time, Li Sanjian obtained the identity of the dismissal, and returned to his hometown, and then rushed to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.
During this period, Li Sanjian also accepted a "concubine room"... Old Friends Book House
"Thank you, brother." Li Sanjian heard the words and said: "You and my brother have been coming to Japan for a long time, and they don't care about this time, my mother is still far away in Kaifeng, and my brother is really relieved, so he is like an arrow." ”
Li Sanjian is telling the truth, Fu Erniang is still holding the Duanwang Mansion hostage, so how can Li Sanjian rest assured? How can you abandon it? How can you not return to your heart like an arrow?
Moreover, Li Sanjian's previous failure in the tribute was also due to the delay on the road, and when he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, it was not many days before the provincial test, so it seemed a little hasty.
Failure to understand the current situation was the main reason for Li Sanjian's failure in the last tribute.
"In this way, I wish my brother good news as soon as possible, and my brother will wait for good news in Lingnan." Li Sanjian is a dutiful son, how could Zeng Gongming not know? Therefore, Zeng Gongming no longer persuaded and said.
"Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell! Take care, brother. Li Sanjian tidied up his outfits, turned over and said goodbye to Zeng Gongming.
"Brother, take care!" Zeng Gongming said deeply.
Li Sanjian nodded, whipped his horse, identified the direction, and ran into the distance.
Before returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Li Sanjian still had one more thing to do, that is, to fulfill the contract. When he proposed to go to the grave of Cai Rongxue's mother, Li Sanjian would definitely do it.
。。。。。。。
"Drive, drive, drive!"
Li Sanjian whipped his horse and ran towards Cai Rongxue's mother's grave.
The horses galloped like lightning, and the trees, flowers, rocks and other objects moved backwards rapidly, and the wind whistled and blew the cloak on Li Sanjian's body almost straight with his body.
Cai Rongxue's mother's cemetery is only more than 50 miles away from the city of Guizhou, but the Lingnan road is difficult to travel, so it took Li Sanjian a day and a night to reach his destination.
Cai Rongxue's mother's grave is in the mountains, at this time the sky has just revealed a trace of fish belly white, the vast sea of clouds is illuminated by the morning glow, colorful, and the distant peaks are looming in the sea of clouds, just like the islands and reefs in the sea. Such a beautiful scenery, Li Sanjian didn't have time to enjoy it, and galloped wildly, startling the birds in the forest, and the birds took off into the air, making bursts of chirping sounds.
It's her? How is she still here? It was close to the cemetery, and Li Sanjian saw a lonely woman kneeling in front of the cemetery from a distance, which made Li Sanjian wonder.
Li Sanjian has been taking the Guizhou Liberation Test for more than a month, so Li Sanjian estimated that Cai Rongxue had finished worshipping and had even returned to Kaifeng Mansion, but Li Sanjian never expected Cai Rongxue to be still here?
is really a filial son, Li Sanjian sighed in his heart.
Li Sanjian is a filial son, so he has a good impression of Cai Rongxue at this time.
Cai Rongxue traveled thousands of miles to Lingnan to worship her mother, which made Li Sanjian admire Cai Rongxue.
"Drive, drive, drive!" Li Sanjian swung two whips and ran towards Cai Rongxue, at this time Cai Rongxue had also been awakened, and looked at the one person and one rider who was getting closer and closer in surprise.
The two of them were so focused that they didn't notice a white dress suddenly flashing from a big tree in the distance.
"Phew..." After the healthy horse approached, Li Sanjian hurriedly strangled the reins, but Li Sanjian's riding skills were not good, and he was not properly controlled.
Cai Rongxue ate ashes, and immediately coughed violently.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Sanjian embarrassedly got off the horse, tied the healthy horse to the tree, and said, "Abrupt girl, forgive the sin, forgive the sin." ”
"What are you doing? Can't you ride a horse well? Cai Rongxue was speechless, come on, Li Sanjian came to fulfill the contract, Cai Rongxue was actually very happy in her heart, can you use this? Do you need such a pull of the wind? Cai Rongxue secretly felt funny in her heart.
When Li Sanjian jumped off the horse, he almost fell and fought...
"Haha" Li Sanjian smiled when he heard this: "Time is too urgent, I accidentally bumped into the girl, hehe." ”
"You... What happened to the tribute? What is the result? Cai Rongxue then lowered her head and asked softly.
"Tribute? That... Also used... Li Sanjian was about to blow it out, when suddenly there was a piercing sound of blades in the distance.
"Master, it's not good, there are thieves, go, go!" At this time, one of Cai Rongxue's entourages was holding a waist knife, and he ran towards Cai Rongxue and the others covered in blood, shouting loudly as he ran.
