The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name.

The lonely mountain is not high, only about 40 meters, surrounded by water, and the east and west are connected to the land by the Xicun Bridge and the Duanjia Bridge, so there is a saying that the lonely mountain is not lonely. Along the bluestone path, walk slowly, the stream, the pond, the flower, the wood, the bamboo, the pavilion, the bridge and so on are arranged in a dense and orderly, uneven and orderly, just like a landscape painting, when depicting the extensive, when smearing the fine carving, look at the distance and feel open, close up to see the sudden joy.

Different from the cultural landscape and man-made buildings of the lonely mountain in later generations, the lonely mountain at this time belongs to the clean beauty that has not been disturbed by the world, along the way, in addition to listening to the waves of the bamboo sea and the proud snow plum, there is no superfluous so-called celebrity former residence and cultural attractions, the wind of the mountain stream, the air that permeates the breath, and the rare little verdant in winter, all make people forget to return.

"Good place!"

Xu You praised it from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Mo and Chen Qian walked in front, and were helping the wild vine to go up, when they heard the sound, they turned around and said, "What's good?" ”

"You're going to test me again!"

Xu You stopped, pointed to the scenery of the mountain, and said, "What's good?" When looking at the lonely mountain on the lake, see the big but not the small, look at this mountain in the lonely mountain, see the small but not the big, quite the true interest and artistic conception of the round forest!

"See the big but not the small, see the small but not the big. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! ”

Zhang Mo and Chen Qian shouted three words at the same time, and Zhang Mo sighed: "In my life, only the Lang Jun on the side of Wu County is comparable to you." The words you speak are extremely interesting, concise and full of reason, and your deliberations are like enlightenment, and they are enlightening. ”

Chen Qianqi said: "Oh? Who can get such a high evaluation of the five-colored dragon luan? ”

Zhang Mo seemed to remember the scene of that night, and his eyes showed a bit of leisurely fascination, and said: "The thing I hate the most is that I was in a hurry that night, and I didn't have a long talk with that Lang Jun, and I didn't have time to ask his name." Xu Langjun, you may not know that the well-known "After the Rain in Qiantang Lake" is this person's masterpiece! ”

Xu You listened to Zhang Mo's sincerity and admired him, not like He Wei speculated, jealous of other people's talents with the heart of a villain, and wanted to kill him quickly.

However, it is difficult to know the face of a person, Zhang Mo may not be telling the truth, Xu You is not in a hurry, Yaji has a whole day, he still has enough time to observe this person, whether he is a gentleman or a hypocrite!

They went up the mountain from the west foothills, bypassed seven or eight mountain beams, and finally saw the Crane Riding Pavilion. Here is known as the first pavilion of the lonely mountain, the shape is unique, the cliff side of the mountain hangs alone, the eaves angle is like spreading wings, it seems to take the wind to go, so the name is to ride the crane. Hu Xin, Ji Ying and others, who had already Xu You and them going up the mountain, also gathered around the pavilion, but they didn't see Lu Hui, so they must have gone with Gu Yun and them.

There are three or five people sitting opposite each other under the pavilion, or leaning, or lying, with a leisurely attitude, and they are debating a very famous topic in metaphysics, "whether there is or not". "Heaven and earth are based on nothing, yin and yang are born by incarnation, all things are formed by virtue, sages are born by virtue, and they are not ashamed to avoid their bodies, so they are useless, and they are noble without lords......"

"Otherwise, the way of the Zongji is to be found by birth, the so-called reason, the body of reason, the so-called existence, so there are all those who have ......"

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but most of them stuck to the existence of Wang Yan and Pei Yan, and did not jump out of the shackles and fixed framework of the times, and there were no refreshing judgments.

The onlookers listened attentively, but Xu You was too lazy to waste time, pulling Zhang Mo and Chen Qian to leave. When Hu Xin saw this scene, he secretly snorted coldly in his belly, and said loudly at the backs of Xu You and the others: "The five-colored dragon luan is so majestic, why, don't you bother to talk to you Lang Junqing?" ”

As soon as he said his words, there was a sudden silence inside and outside the Crane Riding Pavilion, and even the five people who were arguing were temporarily truce, raising their eyes to look for Zhang Mo's figure.

The so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the five-colored dragon Luan Zhang Budo is in the limelight of Jiangdong Shilin, far more powerful than Xu You imagined!

Zhang Mo paused for a moment, stopped, there was anger on his face, he didn't want to make trouble, but he was not a mud ball that was kneaded by others, Hu Xin provoked again and again, it was really unbearable and unbearable!

Just about to turn around and ridicule him, Xu You took a step ahead of him, clenched his fists, and said: "Just now Lu Mingfu said that Dazhong Zheng once asked about the whereabouts of Brother Bu Doubt, so he was in a hurry to go up the mountain, I am afraid that Dazhong is waiting for a long time, and there is no disrespect to you." ”

These words are neither humble nor arrogant, even with a fight, which not only points out Zhang Mo's difference, but even Dazhongzheng specially asked, and explains why he left in a hurry, who can afford to bear the responsibility for waiting for Dazhongzheng for a long time?

Chen Qian did not hide his admiration, Xu You's talent had already been seen when he wrote Gushan poems, and his speech and demeanor were even more outstanding, and now he has shown extraordinary urgency and wisdom in dealing with crises, which is not like the sophistication and shrewdness that a young man should have.

Zhang Mo was also impressed, although he could fall out with Hu Xin on the spot, and he was speechless with confidence, but he couldn't do Xu You's offense, and he quietly pressed everyone.

Hu Xin opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that it was not appropriate to say it no matter what, so he had to watch Xu You smile and leave.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know, if I can walk with the five-colored dragon luan, I guess I am not an idle person."

"Judging by his bearing, especially above Zhang Budo."

"Blind? Why can't I see it? is dressed in cloth, not as good as Zhang Mo. ”

"Judging people by their appearance, losing their son and feather, what about clothes? With your kind of eyesight, it is estimated that it will be difficult to order this time......"

"Who are you talking about?"

There was a commotion in the pavilion, and the five people who debated couldn't argue, and with everyone going up the mountain together, the whole elegant gathering was held, and the time was almost over.

After passing the Kuaixue Pavilion and the Four Seas Pavilion one after another, I finally arrived at the Yushilou on the top of the mountain. This building is divided into three floors, stands four columns, gathers the spire, pure Nanmu structure, winds around the corridor, fang, rafters, purlins, the eaves arise, the four looks like one, the ridge decoration is rich, lifelike. The railings, doors and windows are carved with phoenix, vermilion bird, Xuanwu and other patterns, as well as various thunder patterns, crest patterns, and water ripples, outlining a strong style of the Six Dynasties, which has a great visual impact.

The building was divided into three floors, and the people were also divided into three floors, and the lowest floor was where those of the inferior nobles and the undetermined people of the poor family stayed. For example, Hu Xin, who was born in Linhai County, speaking of Linhai Hu, the locals are all in awe, and he can be called a village tyrant, but he can only stay here like Ji Ying and Chen Qian in the whole Yangzhou. In fact, the people who came to participate in the Yaji today, there are almost no real commoners, Chen Qian is the Chen family of Tonglu, and his family is in the middle of the road, but he is also a scholar. Ji Ying is from the Juzhang Ji family, and he is a disciple of the four walls, but he is also a scholar. There is a saying that the poor are the poor, at least the door! Zhang Mo is a little stronger than the two of them, and his family is not wealthy, but after all, he has a little relationship with the Zhang family, and he is facing Hu Xin, and he is not left behind at all.

In the final analysis, among the twenty-two people who were finally able to climb the mountain to participate in the Yaji through the crossing of the river and the chanting of poems by watching the pot, only Xu You was an authentic commoner.

And the reason why he, a common man, is qualified is that he can go through Gu Yun's back door, otherwise where would he get the opportunity to watch the pot and chant poetry, and he will go down directly in the long stream.

That's the reality!

The middle level is the undetermined person of the Chinese gate, and the top level is Zhang Zihua, Gu Yun, Lu Hui and other officials, the small Zhongzheng of various counties, celebrities of the family and the scholars who have been decided. The order means that you can become an official, so you can sit with Zhang Gulu and others.

Enter the first floor, four upright Jin Nanmu show the magnificence, the hall is spacious, there are dozens of desks, futons, nine copper cranes stand on one foot around, thin smoke comes out from the mouth of the crane, the fragrance is pervasive, like a fairyland.

The crowd did not sit upright, but in groups of threes and twos, doing as they pleased, or chanted poetry, or painted, or discussed, or walked from the side door to the cloister, and looked out from the railing. Although everyone is here for the product, but if you are respectfully waiting for the appreciation of Dazhongzheng, it is a vulgar thing, only in the rain when the sages gather in the building to show the integration of all things natural free and easy and lofty and extraordinary demeanor, in order to really enter the eyes of Dazhongzheng.

"Why is Dazhong here today?" Xu You said in a low voice: "There are dozens of people in this building, and there are not a few who have not passed the preliminary evaluation of Xiaozhongzheng, and some of them are not in accordance with the rules. ”

According to the procedure, the small and middle schools in each county must first visit, and then check the thin valve according to the township clearance, and then check the thin valve, and then the grade can be preliminarily determined. Then the small Zhongzheng is reported to the big Zhongzheng for the record, and the evaluation can be verified and evaluated before the official product can be determined.

"I don't know, but I just received a message from the prefectural order at home, so I rushed to participate!" Zhang Mo shook his head and said: "But the rules are dead, and if Dazhong wants to personally visit the talents, there is nothing to do." ”

Chen Qian took over and said: "I know a little bit about this, it seems that Dazhongzheng is not very satisfied with the Xiaozhongzheng in various counties, and some of the scholars who were selected by Xiaozhongzheng in the preliminary evaluation a few months ago were sent back by Dazhongzheng...... You must know that when Yang Kun served as Dazhongzheng for more than ten years, there had never been such a thing! ”

"I see!"

Xu You was even more sure that Zhang Zihua was going to make a big change to the Jiupin officials in Yangzhou, and his ultimate goal might be to remove Yang Kun's legacy.

After all, now these small officials are all recommended by Yang Kun, and they have an incomprehensible connection with him, Yang Kun collaborated with the enemy and went to prison, even if they can't be implicated, they have to find other excuses to take down this group of people.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhang Zihua wants to sit firmly in the position of the big zhongzheng, and the small zhongzheng of the twelve counties of Yangzhou must all be replaced by his henchmen.

What's more, Zhang Zihua is likely to have been favored. Because the people elected by Zhongzheng belong to the reserve force of the Chu State, and they can be officials after being selected by the officials, Yang Kun has served as Yangzhou Dazhongzheng for more than ten years, and his protégés do not know how many people are old, and if they want to completely eliminate the influence, they must make a big move.

If Meng Xingchun is the emperor's dog and guards the gateway of Yangzhou, Zhang Zihua is another sword of the emperor to stabilize Yangzhou!

Xu You was silent for a moment, his heart moved slightly, he raised his head, and just in time to see a person standing on the railing on the third floor, smiling at him.

Feiqing, long time no see!
