Taizhou, Jingde four years, with "its cave and famous mountain shielding Zhou Wei, the house of many immortals", the edict changed Yongan County to Xianju County, which belongs to the East Road of Liangzhejiang.

Zhu Xi and others on the shore looked at the river one by one, and a passenger ship from Lin'an slowly revealed its true face in the early morning mist.

While looking around, Lu Zuqian couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who did Brother Fan offend?" He actually wanted to abandon Lin'an and flee to Taizhou? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but as far as I know, it's related to Ye Qing of the Imperial City Division." After thinking about it, Zhu Xi brushed his beard and said.

"That day above the West Lake, Ye Qing, who scolded like a scoundrel? What is the relationship between him and the Imperial City Division? Lu Zuqian was reminded by Zhu Xi that he remembered that day in the West Lake, when the small forbidden army was headed.

Zhu Xi smiled, and said with an incomprehensible look on his face: "The head of the small forbidden army at the beginning is now the commander of the Imperial City Division. I heard that Brother Fan was framed by him and communicated with the Jin people, so he was driven out of Lin'an City. ”

"This ...... How can this be reasonable, how can he rely on the words of his family to determine that Brother Fan has the truth of money? Brother Fan's character, virtue, and cultivation are rare in my generation, how can he, an Imperial City Division, be framed at will! The actions of the Imperial City Division are simply outrageous. Lu Zuqian looked at the passenger ship that gradually emerged in its entirety, and said angrily.

"That's right, although Brother Fan is both a businessman and a Confucian, although his knowledge and articles on weekdays are not shocking, but his unique insights and patriotic aspirations, how can an Imperial City Division understand that he framed Brother Fan like this, but we are helpless." Zhu Xi shook his head and sighed.

"Otherwise, Wang Xiang returned the letter to Zai two days ago, if I take advantage of the reply to inform Wang Xiang of this matter, do you think Brother Fan's grievances can be washed away?" Lu Zuqian suddenly smiled confidently.

"Oh? Did the king send a letter? A trace of loss flashed in Zhu Xi's heart, but on the surface he was still happy for Lu Zuqian.

Wang Huai still favors him, Lu Zuqian and Li Tao, and even hopes that they can return to the court.

But a few people have long been tired of the deceit above the court, and they really have no intention of returning to the court again.

Compared with Lu Zuqian, Zhu Xi seems to be much poorer.

Lu Zuqian is at least still a bachelor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he doesn't have to pay attention to the affairs of the court, and he still has a lot of money to get every month, which makes Zhu Xi extremely envious now.

Therefore, under such circumstances, even if Zhu Xi no longer likes Fan Niande in his heart, Fan Niande, who is also a businessman and a Confucian, can give him material help in addition to his studies, so that he will not lose the minimum living security because of preaching and teaching.

"Well, the incident of the past few days, I didn't say anything big, it's still a cliché, I hope you can return to the court." Lu Zuqian recalled the letter, and suddenly the name of Ye Qing mentioned in Wang Huai's letter flashed in his mind, so he hurriedly said: "By the way, I remember, Wang Xiang mentioned Ye Qing's name in the letter, but I was negligent just now and forgot it." ”

"What did you say?" Zhu Xi asked absentmindedly, raising his eyes at the passenger ship that was getting closer and closer to them.

At this time, the deck of the passenger ship was already crowded with people, scrambling one by one, all wanting to wait for the ship to dock, so that they could set foot on the dock to reunite with their relatives as soon as possible.

"It was said that Ye Qing wanted to restore the Yuan Yu armillary sphere, and the letter was ......."

"What? Who wants to restore the Yuanyu armillary sphere? Zhu Xi was startled, and hurriedly looked back at Lu Zuqian next to him.

Lu Zuqian must have known Zhu Xi's heart disease, he just wanted to take the opportunity of restoring the image of Yuan You's armillary sphere, so as to get the title of a university scholar, but who would have thought that with his talent and bachelor, he was not able to succeed.

And now, Ye Qing, the head of the forbidden army who they didn't even look at, actually wanted to restore the Yuan You armillary celestial image, so if Zhu Xi was not shocked, Lu Zuqian would feel strange.

"The forbidden army is headed Ye Qing, and he wants to restore the Yuan Yu armillary sphere." Lu Zuqian said.

pointed out the head of the forbidden army, not the commander of the Imperial City Division, which is the embodiment of Lu Zuqian, or the narrow-mindedness of the literati.

From ancient times to the present, how many literati like to make some clown-like word games on top of others' fame, as if only in this way can they make their body and mind comfortable, and can make them feel that even if Ye Qing has been promoted, in their eyes, he is still the head of the small forbidden army.

They pay attention to etiquette, abide by etiquette, talk about the door valve, and look at their origins, so the phrase that heroes don't ask where they come from has long disappeared without a trace in the literati vocabulary, and I don't know where they have been abandoned.

"A small forbidden army is the head, and you want to do the way of national fortune? It's just ridiculous and generous, and it makes me ...... the Song Dynasty. Zhu Xi's original simple and unpretentious dark face is full of disdain and indignation at the moment, and the court is simply humiliating itself!

He Zhu Xi did not recover back then, which has made him the only regret in his life, but fortunately, other literati are not even qualified to give it a try, which can somewhat make Zhu Xi more balanced in his heart, after all, he is the only person sent by the imperial court to restore the image of Yuan You Hun Tianyi except for Su Song's son Su Xi.

Even if it is whether it succeeds or fails, but the recognition of the imperial court, for him, it is a huge reputation that cannot be met in the eyes of others.

But now, the imperial court has let a small forbidden army be the head, doesn't it mean that a small forbidden army can be on an equal footing with him Zhu Xi? Doesn't it mean that in the eyes of the imperial court, he Zhu Xi and the little forbidden army are the same kind of people?

This is a naked humiliation of him Zhu Xi, Ye Qing's recovery is not successful, but his reputation will also chase him Zhu Xi, but if the recovery is successful, he ...... He, Zhu Xi, will be stepped on by Ye Qing on the shoulders to ascend to the position of a scholar.

He Zhu Xi is a dignified sage and a great Confucian, and he is not as good as a small head of the forbidden army, which will surely become the talk of literati and writers after dinner, and his reputation will inevitably plummet in the hearts of literati.

This is by no means something that he Zhu Xi can tolerate, naturally, and he never wants to see Ye Qing successfully restore the Yuan You armillary instrument that is related to the road of national fortune.

"After a while, we received Brother Fan, and after Brother Fan explained in detail Ye Qing's accusation of blaming him for money, you immediately wrote back to Prime Minister Wang to explain the matter, and then we went to Lin'an together to seek justice for Brother Fan and wash away the grievances for Brother Fan." Zhu Xi said righteously.

"Good! When I received Brother Fan, I immediately replied, and then we immediately rushed to Lin'an. Lu Zuqian said with confidence

The figures on the boat not far away gradually became clear, and even the vague appearance of Fan Niande waving to the shore on the boat could be gradually captured by Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian.

And just when Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, after seeing clearly that it was Fan Niande waving to them, immediately began to wave to the boat, there was a small commotion on the boat.

I saw a scholar in his thirties and about thirty years old, who was about thirty years old in a wide-sleeved robe, carrying a bookcase on his shoulder, and was in a hurry to squeeze forward in the crowd on the deck, and from time to time he would chant words in his mouth: hard driving, hard driving, rudeness, rudeness, Xiaosheng is rude.

Fan Niande was standing on the side of the boat at this time, expressing his inner emotion of escaping and meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign land.

So I didn't expect that the scholar-like person behind him, carrying a bag and a bookcase on his shoulder, was squeezing around in the crowd, and he had already squeezed tightly behind him.

Looking at Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, who were waving on the shore again and again, Fan Niande felt a little steadiness in his heart, and at the same time, he began to mumble to himself: "Ye Qing, Ye Qing, you let the old man be offended, take away the old man's favorite paintings, and when the old man goes ashore, you have to ......." ”

"Ah......h

"Be careful......."

"Someone fell overboard......."

Fan Niande, who was muttering to himself, only felt that his upper body was touched by something first, and then he felt that his legs were hooked with his feet, and before he hurriedly reached out to grab the side of the ship, a hard wooden bookcase, in the crowd on the deck, happened to smash into his hand that wanted to grasp the side of the ship.

So Fan Niande screamed, and fell into the icy river with a pop.

"Ah...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally ....... The scholar who carried the bookcase apologized to the others next to him again and again.

"Go down and save people......."

"Who knows how to water......

Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian looked at the scene on the river in amazement, and watched Fan Niande suddenly fall into the water, and shouted loudly: "Brother Fan, be careful......." ”

And at this moment, the scholar with the heavy bookcase on his back didn't even have time to take the bookcase off his shoulder, saw the location where Fan Niande fell into the water, jumped into the water, and tightly grasped Fan Niande who was splashing in the water.

In the panic, no one noticed that after jumping into the river with the scholar, the scholar's box did not surface once, just like a big stone, and sank in an instant.

As the other people on the boat jumped into the water, the water, which was still fluttering, became extremely quiet.

Fan Niande, who fell into the water, and the scholar who went into the water to save people, were like sinking into the sea, allowing a few other people who knew how to dive underwater to look for them, or shouting and searching on the water.

But the scholar and Fan Niande seemed to disappear suddenly, as if they had sunk to the bottom of the water all of a sudden, and never came out again.

"How so?" Zhu Xi on the shore looked at the chaotic situation on the boat and on the water, and suddenly seemed a little at a loss, and couldn't help but stomp his feet.

"Wait, wait, Brother Fan was born in Jiangnan, he should know water, let's wait, don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Lu Zuqian comforted Zhu Xi next to him, but he already had a bad premonition in his heart at this time: Fan Niande is afraid that he will be more auspicious.

As the passenger boat slowly landed, Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian hurriedly rushed to the few who had gone into the water to save people just now, and pulled them over one by one to look and see, but among the few guys who were shivering from the cold, there was no Fan Niande they wanted to pick up.

And just when people were talking about it and the secret road was dangerous, not far from the dock where the passenger ship docked, the scholar who went into the water to save people climbed ashore quietly, and the box on his shoulder was gone.
