"Mr. Luo, hurry up!" Yun didn't wait to kneel down and stepped forward to support him, and said at the same time: "Mr. Luo is over seventy years old, and he is close to Renrui, even if he is an ordinary old man, he doesn't need to kneel for me, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, where do you still have to kneel!" ”

"Your Majesty, you can't help it!" Luo Guanzhong shouted. His 'unavoidable' doesn't mean he has to kneel down. Successive dynasties have given preferential treatment to the elderly, and it is normal for the elderly over 60 years old to be exempted from forced labor, and some dynasties are even exempted from taxes. Daming also has a corresponding preferential treatment policy, so he can indeed not kneel when he sees Yun.

But His Majesty personally supported him, which is a great grace. Under normal circumstances, the emperor ordered people like him not to kneel, or let his subordinates help, and personally help only when facing important officials of the court. Luo Guanzhong thought that he was not an important minister of the court, so he was a little uneasy.

"Old gentleman doesn't need to be like this," Yun said with a smile: "Although the old gentleman has never gone into battle to kill the enemy and has never settled the country, he can make a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty." ”

He gestured to his guards as he spoke. A guard came over, Yun handed Luo Guanzhong to him to support, helped him to sit down next to the Nanmu chair in the hall, and sat next to Luo Guanzhong himself, and continued with a smile: "The old gentleman writes opera books and scripts, broadcasts all over the Ming Dynasty, educates all the people, is very good, and can afford my support. ”

Luo Guanzhong wanted to say something more, but Yun didn't want to continue the topic, looked around and saw only two subordinates of the Luo family, and asked: "I remember that Mr. Luo's youngest son also came to the capital with Mr. Luo, and has been serving Mr. Lao in Beijing, why haven't I seen him now?" ”

"The minister's youngest son, ahem, was sent out by the minister to buy a pen." Luo Guanzhong replied.

"What's the matter, isn't the pen issued by the Propaganda Department bad?" Yun immediately turned his head and asked Chen Xingshan, "What kind of pen did the Propaganda Division provide for them?" ”

Before Chen Xingshan could answer, Luo Guanzhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, cough cough, it's not that the pen issued by the Propaganda Department is not good. It's just that the minister has lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a long time, and he is used to the pen commonly used by the locals, and the others are not used well, so every time he asks people to buy pens produced there in the market. The minister also sent his subordinates to buy pens, but the subordinates never used them, and it was easy to look away, and they were deceived twice by unscrupulous vendors. Ahem, so the minister asked the young son to buy it. ”

He then saluted Chen Xingshan and said, "Xia Guan Shicai didn't see Chen Shangshu, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Yun waited for him and Chen Xingshan to finish answering, and then asked, "Mr. Luo often coughs, what's going on?" Do you need to send a doctor to diagnose the old man's pulse? ”

"No need, Your Majesty doesn't need to bother the imperial doctor in the palace." Luo Guanzhong hurriedly said: "This is just an old problem, I cough when it's cold." ”

"But it's already April, and it's already getting warmer."

"Your Majesty, after all, the minister is old, and his body and bones are different from when he was young, and even the first time he visited His Majesty ten years ago is far from it, so it has been summer all these years to stop coughing. Your Majesty doesn't need to bother the imperial doctor, this is all an old man's disease, and even if the imperial doctor comes to see it, it can't be cured. Luo Guanzhong said again.

Yun Moran. He is right, when people are old, all the functions of the body are degraded, and no matter how clever the medical skills and precious medicinal materials are, some diseases cannot be cured.

"Let's let the Imperial Doctor take a look." But he said anyway. Even if it can't be cured, it can still make him live a few more days. Luo Guanzhong now looks very poor and may die at any time. He was very reluctant that Luo Guanzhong would die like this.

"Your Majesty, the old minister can't die yet, the minister still has a ......" Speaking of this, he stopped talking as if he was speechless, and changed the topic bluntly: "Your Majesty, although the minister is recuperating at home these days, he is not completely idle. A few years ago, Chen Shangshu once ordered the compilation of a book full of gold and silver on the Hanzhou Continent, and a thousand miles of fertile fields, and the minister would write a few strokes when he was in good health at home these days. ”

As he spoke, he got up tremblingly and went back to the house to fetch it. Yun persuaded him to let his subordinates pick it up, but Luo Guanzhong said that his subordinates were illiterate and their hands and feet were clumsy, so he was afraid that they would tear it up, so he insisted on going over to get it himself. Yun couldn't, so he could only let the subordinates of the family walk in and help them into their own house to get it.

Ke Yun waited for a while and didn't see Luo Guanzhong come out, and when he asked, he also learned that because Luo Guanzhong's hands and feet were not good, he couldn't take it out for a while, so Yun simply got up and walked towards Luo Guanzhong's house in a hurry.

Luo Guanzhong was still slowly packing up the manuscripts in the house, at least in order, when he saw Yun walking in, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, why did you come in!" How does this make! ”

"Why can't that?" Yun said, "It's just a room, and there won't be an ambush for assassins, so why can't I walk in." ”

"And," he pointed to the bed, "Mr. Luo is not in good health, it is better to sit on the edge of the bed and talk to me." There is also an arhat bed in the house, and I can rest on it. Yun said as he sat down on the Luohan bed.

Luo Guanzhong persuaded a few more words to no avail, so he could only bend down lightly and salute, and then sat on the edge of the bed to introduce the book he wrote to Yun.

"Your Majesty, this narrative is more grandiose, starting from His Majesty sending His Royal Highness the King of Xiang to lead troops to explore the east, to the discovery of the Han continent and the subjugation of the local natives, and later the discovery of gold and silver mountains, and the dispatch of the governor to bring gold and silver back."

"This book is written from the perspective of a small soldier who went to the mainland of Hanzhou with the army, to the story of returning to Beijing with the governor of Fangdu's ship, giving all the gold and silver he received to his family, and returning home."

"This ......"

Yun listened to his introduction while opening the book to take a look. This book is well written, and in fact, it can be changed again, it is not necessary to write that Fang Mingqian is unwilling, but should write that Zhu Bai is unwilling, and even deliberately looking for things to find Fang Mingqian's stubble. But after discovering the beautiful and rich land of the Hanzhou Continent, he turned his anger into joy. However, people in this era do not dare to arrange the royal family at will, and it is understandable that I am sorry. Just talk to him and let him change it. ’

This one is well written, so that everyone knows that they can make a fortune and return to their hometown if they go to the Hanzhou mainland. However, don't mention the fact that someone died in the Hanzhou Continent, so as not to make people hesitate. ’

'......' Yun commented in his heart.

After that, Luo Guanzhong introduced to him the books he had written about other aspects, and Yun also took them one by one and read them roughly.

At this time, a guard walked in and whispered in Yun's ear: "Your Majesty, Luo Guanzhong's son is back." ”

"Let him come and serve!" Yun commanded. He raised his head again and smiled at Luo Guanzhong: "Mr. Luo, your young son is back." ”

After a while, Luo Guanzhong's youngest son Luo Rong came over, and when he saw Yun Yun, he immediately knelt down and said: "Cao Min Luo Rong has seen Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Get up." Yun instructed him to stand up, then turned his head to Luo Guanzhong and asked, "Mr. Luo, your son is not married yet?" ”

"It's already married." mentioned his son, Luo Guanzhong couldn't help but sigh: "Although the minister's youngest son has loved to dance and write like the minister since he was a child, what can be written is too far behind. The minister knew that he was not this material, so he wanted him to study seriously and take the imperial examination. ”

But he didn't like to read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and he didn't achieve anything for more than ten years. No one was willing to marry his daughter to him, and it was not until the end of last year that a family agreed to marry him. ”

"Why, Mr. Luo is an official, and he can't set a family affair for his son?" Yun wondered. Even if Luo Rong is really a waste of dim sum and can't do anything, Mr. Luo is still an official, so he can't even marry the daughter-in-law of ordinary people.

"Who called the old man only the local ...... of Dongping Prefecture" Luo Rong muttered a few words not very satisfied, and was immediately reprimanded by Luo Guanzhong, Yun hurriedly persuaded a few words, and asked: "I heard him say that as long as Dongping Prefecture is local, what does this mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, you also know that the minister is a native of Dongpingzhou, Shandong, although he has been in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a few years, he still misses the water and soil of his hometown and the villagers, and also wants to have a daughter-in-law of his hometown, so he has been looking for his son to find the daughter of the Dongpingzhou family who came to the capital from his hometown." Luo Guanzhong explained.

'No wonder it took so many years to get married!' Yun said secretly in his heart: "Dongping Prefecture is far away from the capital, and it is not an economically developed place, nor is it an important transportation place, nor is it a provincial governance place, except for officials, how many people can come to the capital in a year?" But a civil official from the imperial examination would not be willing to marry his daughter to a family like Luo Guanzhong, so it is unusual for him not to pick for so many years. ’

He couldn't help but feel sympathy for Luo Rong, thought about it and said, "Mr. Luo, how is Luo Rong's handwriting?" ”

"Your Majesty, although the young son of the minister writes very poorly, he has practiced his calligraphy very well for so many years. Luo Rong, write a few words for Your Majesty to see. Luo Guanzhong said.

Luo Rong agreed, picked up a pen and paper and wrote a few words. Yun took a look, nodded and said, "It's really good." He turned his head to Luo Guanzhong and said, "In this case, when the old gentleman is well, let him be an errand in the factory, and I will give him an errand job." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Luo Guanzhong hurriedly saluted and said.

The so-called Jingchang is a place that is subordinate to the 24 prisons of the internal officials and specializes in printing the documents required in the palace. Although the factory is an internal official yamen, except for a few people who are eunuchs, the rest of the staff are also able-bodied people.

It's not a good errand, but it's an iron rice bowl, and no one cares if you steal a copy of what books are printed in the palace, which is very suitable for people like Luo Rong, who have little ability but like to read miscellaneous books. And if you can get acquainted with a certain eunuch, there may be other creations in the future.

"Mr. Luo doesn't have to be polite." Yun said.

"Luo Rong, don't kneel down yet to thank Your Majesty for your grace!" After Luo Guanzhong finished his salute, he saw that Luo Rong was still standing aside, and immediately shouted angrily. In case the emperor is displeased, this errand he just asked for is likely to slip away. He said so many words when he introduced Luo Rong, implying that he asked the emperor to arrange an errand for Luo Rong, and finally let His Majesty loosen his mouth, how could he lose it again!

When Luo Rong heard Luo Guanzhong's words, he came to his senses and knelt down and shouted: "The grass people thank the emperor for his grace." There was joy in his voice, but there was no look of joy on his face.

However, neither Yun nor Luo Guanzhong could see his expression. Luo Guanzhong was very happy about this matter: "I finally arranged an errand for my youngest son, so I don't have to worry about it even if I die." ’

But then something of joy and sorrow happened. Luo Guanzhong suddenly coughed loudly, and Luo Rong hurriedly walked over to row his father's back, but it didn't have much effect. Luo Rong suddenly muttered to himself: "Medicine, medicine." Then he rummaged through the table. Luo Guanzhong's coughing voice became louder and louder, Luo Rong became more and more anxious, and at first he was careful not to mess up the draft on the table, but soon he couldn't care about it, pushed the paper aside, and rummaged hard. Then he found the medicine bottle, poured out two pills from it, and stuffed it into Luo Guanzhong's mouth; He brought another glass of water and told him to take the medicine.

Luo Guanzhong took the medicine, and the cough gradually stopped. But he said with an angry face: "Who made you mess up your father's draft!" ”

"Mr. Luo, Luo Rong is also in a hurry for the old man, so don't blame him." Yun persuaded.

Hearing Yun's words, Luo Guanzhong didn't dare to reprimand again, but looked at his pile of drafts and worried: 'How long does it take to sort this out?' ’

"Mr. Luo, my guards are all literate, let them help Mr. Luo tidy up." Although Luo Guanzhong did not speak, Yun guessed his thoughts and spoke. After speaking, he didn't wait for Luo Guanzhong to respond, so he called a third of the guards to come in and pack up the manuscript.

There are a lot of scattered manuscripts, and I can't finish cleaning them up for a while, but I don't plan to stay here for long. His time is precious, and since he has seen Luo Guanzhong and expressed his condolences, he plans to leave; And if he doesn't leave, Chen Xingshan can't leave, Chen Xingshan has other families to visit, and he can't go after dark. As for these guards, they stayed at the Luo family first, waiting for the manuscript to be sorted out before returning to the palace.

So Yun said a few more words to Luo Guanzhong, and then planned to leave. But at this moment, one of the guards somehow slipped under his feet, and although he did not fall, some of the manuscripts that he had already held in his hands were scattered on the ground.

Yun said, "Be careful," and bent down to pick up a few manuscripts from the ground. He was about to hand it to Luo Guanzhong, his eyes swept over the manuscript a few times, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Mr. Luo, this manuscript doesn't seem to have been shown to me." 2k reading web
