Chapter 304: Blood-boiling
Zhen, Xinnei. \, Qb(5), com\\ In the room, the doors and windows are locked, the rain is drying down the eaves and walls, and the crisp sound of the Hanhan Mountain ticking, and the Hangzhou Tong Judgment Gu Kezhi is deaf, but he is in the head of the book, concentrating on the pen to give instructions on all kinds of official documents, after a while, the tip of the pen is lightly pressed, retracted, relieved, and then put down the pen, looked up at the direction of the inner house, a touch of melancholy appeared between the eyebrows, and sighed silently.
As a general judgment, after all, he was directly appointed by the emperor, and he had the power to restrain Zhizhou, and on top of an official document, if there was no signature of Tongzhou, it could not take effect, so although the official position was not high, the power in the local area was second only to Zhizhou, and Gu Kezhi was no longer a shadow official, and he also knew that his career had ended here, and he usually treated people well, and got along very well with his colleagues and subordinates.
The eldest son was admitted to the Jinshi a few years ago, and he is currently the head of the party, and the rest of the nephews are also famous, and the family is healthy and healthy, and Gu Kezhi's personality is also very cheerful. Everything is gone, naturally there is nothing to worry about, it stands to reason that yesterday was still laughing and laughing, praising the rain is gratifying, today should not be sighing and full of worry.
Of course, there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, the world is unpredictable, and it is not uncommon for disasters and blessings to occur, who dares to guarantee that their life will be smooth sailing, disaster-free, and disease-free, the official who stood in the corner of the room secretly thought, thinking about when to take the time, and inquired about what troubles Gu Tongju encountered, even if he couldn't help, he had to express his concern, maybe at that time, Gu Tongju saw that he was well-behaved, and he promoted himself easily,,
Just when the official Meizizi's imagination was fluttering, there was a sound of knocking on the door outside the door, and the official who had been interrupted by someone to catch the dream of catching fast walked over with an unhappy face, and opened a crack in the door casually, and saw that it was a colleague. Immediately whispered angrily: Xiaoba, the door doesn't need to be so loud, I can hear it, don't make a big noise. ”
"Don't talk about it, I just tapped a few times, but I didn't see you open the door, and you're daydreaming again." The official outside the door chuckled.
"Nonsense, it must have been raining too much to drown out the knocking sound." Of course, the official in the room would not admit it, and forcibly explained to himself, and then said impatiently: "If you have something to say, don't bother if you have nothing to do, Lord Shuo." ”
"Qiantang Chuzhi County asks to see Taishou, you go and report to Lord Shuo."
"Oh." The official in the room agreed, and was about to turn around, but suddenly reacted, frowned, and said: "No, Xiaoba, Chu Zhixian asks to see Taishou, and he meets him directly, what do you want me to do with Lord Gu." ”
"Second son, where did you go last night. Xiao Ba seemed to smile and said: "I don't even know the major affairs of the state government." ”
"Where can you go in the heavy rain." His eyes sucked down, and the official in the room asked in a low voice: "Starling, tell me quickly, what happened in the yali?" ”
Knowing that things could not be delayed, Xiaoba did not sell it, and said directly: "I am too sick, and I ordered that all the affairs of the Yali be handled by Master Shuo, and I should not report it quickly." ”
"I'm too sick and bedridden!" Chu Zhen was stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Two days ago, I saw that Taishou was still good, why did he suddenly do it?"
"Yesterday Fan Gong was patrolling outside the city, and he didn't want to suddenly rain down, Fan Gong did not avoid it, and stood happy in the rain for a while, and after returning to the Ya, he felt unwell, and the doctor diagnosed that it should be infected with some breeze and cold, and he has now taken medicine to rest in the room." Gu Kezhi explained, and when he looked at Chu Qian, he was also stunned.
At this time, Chu Zhen's image is indeed not very good, the hem of the light green official robe is all wet, the two sleeves are also half wet by the rain, and even the shoes seem to be in the water, it can really be described as one step at a time, the person stood there, the water stains slowly seeped to the ground, and after a while, it flowed two or three feet.
Seeing this situation, Gu Kezhi waved his hand and ordered the official to fetch dry clothes and towels, and immediately asked in confusion: "Chu Zhi County, what is your urgent matter, so that you came in the rain." ”
"100,000 urgent, the lower officials should immediately meet Taishou, and ask Lord Shuo to lead the way." Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Chu Zhen couldn't wait, and hurriedly said, not forgetting to emphasize: "This matter is not trivial, and it is not too stubborn to decide."
Chu Zhi was really anxious, otherwise he wouldn't be so "unscrupulous" If Gu Kezhi didn't have a little mind, hearing that Chu Zhi was so "indifferent" to himself, he would definitely give him small shoes to wear in the future, fortunately Gu Kezhi still had some belly, and when he saw Chu Zhi's anxious appearance, he actually came in the rain. said it so seriously, and he also knew what it meant to put official affairs first, so he didn't bother to ask, and immediately led Chu Zhen through the second hall and the conference hall in the Yanei, and went straight to the inner house.
The rain is like a waterfall, blowing in the wind, even if they walk under the eaves, there is an umbrella to block it, the two of them still can't withstand the pervasive rain, Chu quality is nothing, it's just that it is just wet again, only pity Gu Ke knows, the original dry clothes, only a few steps to get wet nearly half.
Before coming to the courtyard of the inner house, the courtyard guarding the door did not block it, and directly let the two of them enter the hall, ask for their intentions, and hurriedly went to the bedroom to report to Fan Zhongyan.
While waiting, Gu Kezhi finally realized Chu Qian's feelings, wiped his face casually, waved his hand lightly, and a little raindrop went out, twisted his sleeves, and the water was swaying, and he thought about whether to ask someone to bring a towel, so that he could tidy up his meter and meet Fan Zhongyan, but saw the servant hurriedly return and said, "Taishou has invited two adults." ”
The two naturally obeyed their fate and walked a few steps, but Chu Zhen frowned, a little inexplicably worried in his heart, Fan Zhongyan, whom he knew, would definitely come out to greet him if he heard that he had something urgent to report, but now he "hopes that the situation is not the same as he imagined."
When praying in his heart, the servant led the two of them into the inner hall and came to the bedroom door, before he entered, Chu Zhen suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart, could it really be as Gu Kezhi said, Fan Zhongyan was so sick that it was difficult to get out of bed.
It seems that he has received Fan Zhongyan's orders, and when the servant came to the door, he did not knock on the door to report, but gently pushed the door, slightly led his hand to signal, hesitated, Chu Zhen followed Gu Kezhi in, and suddenly felt that his eyes were dim, and after a while, he slowly took the light in the room and immediately looked carefully.
As he guessed, although he was a governor of the state and once held the prime minister's position, Fan Zhongyan lived a very simple life, looking at the entire bedroom, the furnishings were simple, there was nothing luxurious, the walls were plain white, there were no calligraphy and paintings, and there was not even the most common screen in the rich and nobles' houses. It is no different from the homes of ordinary people.
If you have to say that it is a little special, that is, there are four wooden boxes placed on the side of the wall, lined up in two rows, of course, it is not a gold and silver fine and soft, the lid is not closed, it is held high, and you can find that it is full of books, of course, there are some table things, Chu quality is fundamental. Memi glanced slightly in the room. Gu Yi fell on Fan Zhong's body and drowned
I saw that although Fan Zhongyan was half-lying on the bed, his body was covered with a thin silk quilt, his white beard was slightly fluffy, and his face was a little pale, but his eyes were still flashing with a shining look, which made Chu Zhi's dark mood quietly relieved.
"What do you want?" Ignoring the embarrassed appearance of the two, Fan Zhongyan said slowly, although his voice was a little weak, but he was very calm, and his calm expression gave people incomparable confidence, like the Optimus Pillar, as if Fan Gong could hold it when the sky fell, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Inexplicably, Chu Zhi's anxious mood eased a little, and under Gu Kezhi's signal, he stepped forward and said loudly: "Taishou, the heavy rain is like a waterfall, pouring down, but there is no sign of stopping, and the lower officials are worried about the people outside the city."
"It's not good, the old man is worried, how can he forget about it."
Without waiting for Chu Zhen to finish speaking, Fan Zhongyan suddenly shouted, immediately lifted the silk quilt, got out of bed and stood up, before he could do anything, his body suddenly shook, his right hand stroked his forehead and tilted to fall, Chu Zhen saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Fan Gong. Gu Kezhi also stepped forward quickly, his face full of concern, and he turned around and shouted, "Come on, find a doctor quickly." ”
Sitting back on the edge of the bed, Fan Zhongyan rubbed his lower eyebrows, coughed lightly, shook his head and stopped: "The old man is fine, don't be so troublesome." ”
At this time, an old man broke in. Anxiously called: "Liulang, if there is any discomfort in the body, quickly come to the bedside, squeeze Chu Zhi, support Fan Zhongyan by himself, caress his back, and scold: "Where did Xiaolang Guan'er come from, why is he so unreasonable, wet and wet, and still so close to Liulang." ”
Suddenly being pointed at his nose and scolded, Chu Zhen was indeed a little stunned, reacted, realized his own situation, and hurriedly took a few steps back as the old man said.
"Third brother, don't be impatient, he also has good intentions." Feeling better, Fan Zhongyan whispered a word to persuade the old man, and immediately turned his head and said: "Gu Tongju, you immediately take the old man's seal, immediately make a document, sign and approve a special passage order, and hand it over to Chuzhi County, so that he can quickly lead the people outside the city into the city to take shelter from the rain."
After a pause, looking at Chu Qian, Fan Zhongyan said extremely seriously: "Chu Zhixian, this matter is entrusted to you, be sure to bring the people outside the city one by one to the city, decoction and soup to treat each other, or there is a shortage, or there is a disease, but you ask."
。 The last sentence has a sense of urgency that has never been seen before, and there seems to be no meaning to joke.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of being in danger. A different emotion surged deep in his heart, and then his whole body was a little hot, and he took a deep breath, Chu Zhizheng arched his hand and said, "The lower official dares to disobey the order."
Nodding slightly, Fan Zhongyan stood up again as if struggling, and with the support of the old man next to him, he tore off a purple gold fish bag from the waist of the crimson official robe hanging next to the bed, stretched out his hand and handed it over, and said slowly: "You Qiantang County Ya alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task, this is the old man's token, you can use this to mobilize the state government officials and officials to help you, if there is a slack person, the rod is not guilty." ”
Taking the purple gold fish bag with both hands, Chu Zhen nodded heavily, didn't say much, turned around and said to Gu Kezhi: "The lower official will go back to the government to summon the officials first, arrange everything, and come back later to get the order."
Saying that, he didn't wait for Gu Kezhi to respond, he immediately walked away, copied an umbrella at the door, and hurriedly walked quickly in the rain. If it weren't for the heavy rain of the waterfall, which hit his face and made him unable to see the road in the distance, Chu Zhen would still want to run back to the ya.
Watching this scene from afar, the old man in the room muttered: "This little man, he doesn't wear an umbrella when he walks, and he is not afraid of getting drenched, don't fall on the slippery road in the rain."
"If you can't withstand even this little bit of wind and rain, how can you become a pillar." Fan Zhongyan said lightly, and couldn't help coughing again.
If others hear Fan Gong's words, I am afraid that every rainy day, there will be many people who do not hold umbrellas, Gu Kezhi thought wildly, but did not delay, and sent a message to hope that Fan Zhongyan would be well soon, and then gave up his hand and left, and returned to the signing room to write the passage documents.
He also ignored Gu Kezhi and left, in order to show that he didn't care about Chu Qian, the old man defended and said: "I think that kid is light, and his body won't be damaged for a while, I'm just worried about Liulang's fish bag, such a rare and precious thing, if it is lost for him, or greedy, what should it be."
In the Song Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, officials above the third rank wore purple robes and wore goldfish bags, scarlet robes above the fifth rank wore silver fish bags, and those below the sixth rank wore green robes without fish bags, and those who served as prime ministers and did not have three grades must bring purple gold fish bags in their official ranks, and Fan Zhongyan's purple gold fish bags were obtained in this way.
However, giving a goldfish bag is only a favor. It was an extremely common thing in the Song Dynasty, more of an honor, or a symbol of status, and in the entire Song Dynasty officialdom, there were at least one hundred and eighty officials who could wear purple gold fish bags, which was not as rare as the old man said.
So when he heard the old man's words, Fan Zhongyan didn't explain, but just chuckled: "If it's gone, it's gone, one day he will also get a bag, and then let him return it."
The implication is very clear, that is, I believe that Chu Zhen will inevitably be listed in a high position in the future, and at this time, Chu Zhen did not know that he was in Fan Zhongyan's heart, and he had actually become a pillar of the future imperial court, and he was hurrying back to the county office.
"What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and get your clothes for the adults to change." The person who drank was a fast catcher, commanding the officials next to him to run errands, took out a towel from his arms, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it on Chu Zhi's body, so alert, it is no wonder that he can stand above everyone, and the other officials also thought so, and after secretly scolding the sycophants, they were ready to act according to the order.
"No need, I'll have to get wet later." At this time, Xuan, Chu Zhi was up and down, from head to toe, as if he had climbed out of a pool, the clothes with water were glued to his body, and he stood still for a while, and he was full of pond water stains, and he didn't feel anything when he walked in the rain.
However, the chill in his body did not extinguish the heat in his heart, thinking of what he was going to do, Chu Zhi only felt that the qi and blood in his body were tumbling, and he did not hesitate, and immediately beat the drum to gather under the inexplicable gaze of several officials.
