Chapter 163: The Gray World

The wind of the moon, cold and biting, blew the wicker, but it could not blow away the pride in the heart of the young man in the spring shirt.

The apricot orchard picks famous flowers, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is inscribed. With such a dream, countless young scholars walked into the examination room of the Spring Festival Examination with high spirits.

Zheng Hui looked up at the blue sky, the leisurely white clouds, smiled slightly, and took a step towards the examination room. A beautiful and picturesque world, a colorful life. It was as if they were all waving to him.

A subject of the Ming Scripture, the Book of Posts and Moyi, Zheng Hui almost waved it and passed the test easily.

Jinshi a subject, chanting poetry as a plus policy theory. Zheng Hui straightened his waist and took a deep breath. As a child of the Tang Dynasty Poetry Xianmen, it must be a blockbuster peerless sentence, how to write a mediocre and ordinary sentence is embarrassing.

Halfway through the hour, Zheng Hui's face turned pale, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead. There is no ink on the paper. The poems of Mr. Taibai in my mind floated in the sky, mercilessly laughing at the good sentences I had come up with.

Walking out of the examination room in a daze, he couldn't remember what he had written on the exam paper, and the clear sky became gray and gloomy.

"What's wrong, I didn't do well in the exam?"

After passing by, he asked with some concern, his dream of trying the spring boudoir has been pinned on his disciples, how could he not be anxious, how could he not come to greet him.

Zheng Hui stood in front of him in despair, so uncomfortable that he almost cried.

"The disciples are familiar with the collection of poems of the master, and they can also recite poems casually on weekdays. I thought that in the first subject of Jinshi, I would definitely write an extraordinary and amazing work, but I didn't expect that in the examination room, the disciple's mind was blank, and he couldn't write anything. ”

"Alas!" Lu sighed with a complicated heart, "It's extraordinary, it's your master Mr. Taibai who shocked the world, not us disciples." He is a poet immortal of the Tang Dynasty, and his reputation will be passed down through the ages, and his disciples will also be able to pass on through the ages? If you had figured this out, you wouldn't have been in the exam room. ”

Zheng Hui stood for a long time, as if he had an understanding.

"Second Senior Brother! How did you do in the exam? ”

At the door of the road, Bai Liangqi put up the shelf of the senior brother, and his little face was raised high, disdainful of asking. Wang Huan, who was eager to try and was ready to participate in next year's spring exam, couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Zheng Hui glanced at Wang Huan with a gloomy expression: "Some time ago, it was sunny and bright, but today it has become extremely gray. ”

"When you become adults, you will find that the world is gray."

After passing by, he left the three stunned disciples and left by himself.

After all, the world in the eyes of young people is different from that of adults. When did the once colorful world slowly fade in my eyes, I felt a little stunned and a little sad when I passed.

The wine of the drunken immortal building is a fine wine. At the moment, when I drank it in my mouth, it didn't taste at all. An Qingxu put down his wine glass and looked at the prosperous scene outside the window, his face was no longer full of the brilliance of the previous days.

"Your Majesty the Sage added the left servant of my family to shoot, and gave my brother a third-grade official and a fourth-grade official. My lord also asked to lead the idle stable, the group of herdsmen, and the director of the herdsmen, with Cheng Jiwen in the imperial history as the military attendant, and the deputy envoy of the idle stables, and His Majesty the saint was allowed. But the position of prime minister has not been mentioned, do you know why? ”

was invited by An Qingxu to come to this drunken immortal building to eat, and when he passed by, he knew that An Lushan was serving as the prime minister, and most of them had changed. Hearing An Qingxu's words, he shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.

"That Yang Guozhong said in front of the sage that although my family has military merits, he is illiterate, how can he serve as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. If the saint makes a book, won't he be laughed at? The saint is the king, but he did not believe his words, and when he heard about it, he stopped the appointment of the lord of my family. ”

An Qingxu was very indignant, picked up the tasteless wine, and drank it all.

"The king has no faith, and the minister loses his heart. Lord Lingzun, I must be very disappointed. The road echoed.

An Qingxu was silent for a while and shook his head.

"The soldiers belonging to the three towns in the north of me have made many meritorious achievements in bloody battles with the Xi people and the Khitan over the years, but they have not been rewarded fairly. I, my lordship, ask for a reward for my subordinates in front of the saints. But the prince said in front of the saint that my family was a subordinate and wanted to rebel. This is clear, there is no heavenly reason! ”

"What! The prince also stood up and said that your family wants to rebel? The road looked at An Qingxu in disbelief.

"Alas! My lord is loyal to His Majesty the saint. For the authoritative Yang family, he is also bent on currying favor. For the inconspicuous prince, it was a little contemptuous. It is not surprising that he came forward to falsely accuse my family of rebellion. ”

An Qingxu sighed, obviously these days are very difficult.

Lu glanced at An Qingxu worriedly and frowned.

"Brother! But what's wrong? Please let us know. An Qingxu felt a little bad, and his heart sank.

"As I expected, your family is in danger, and your An family is in danger!" He shook his head again and again, smiling bitterly.

What do you mean! My family has the world's elite soldiers in his hands, and he defends the Tang Dynasty against strong enemies in the north. Now that the Holy Grace is in full swing, where does the danger come from? An Qingxu looked at the road with some puzzlement.

"The king of a country, the most taboo is to make peace with each other and have deep personal relations. In this way, you let His Majesty, the saint who is high, play with the art of kings. Lord Ling Zun made a thick knot with the Yang family, but it was wrong.

Although Yang Guozhong is incompetent, he has the ability to please His Majesty the Sage, but no one can match it. That's why he desperately falsely accused Ling Zun of wanting to rebel in front of His Majesty the Sage. The more he falsely accused, the richer His Majesty the Sage rewarded Lord Lingzun. The more trouble you two make, the more His Majesty the Sage laughs.

Cutting off someone's future is like killing one's parents. This Yang Guozhong kept falsely accusing Ling Zun, cutting off the road of Ling Zun's prime minister, and the two sides formed an immortal feud, and it was difficult to ride a tiger. In addition, Yang Guozhong is incompetent but ambitious. For Ling Zun, the only one in the Tang Dynasty who can threaten him, he will definitely find an opportunity to get rid of him. For your Ann family, this is the first evil.

Ling Zun holds the world's elite soldiers, and no one is invincible. He is also deeply favored by His Majesty the Sage, and he holds countless important positions. It is inevitable that others are jealous and jealous of Lord Lingzun, and they have attacked him one after another. Except for His Majesty the Sage, there is no one to rely on in the court. Let Lord Lingzun become a lonely minister, and he can only be loyal to him, which is also the means and purpose of His Majesty the Sage. This is the second evil.

His Majesty the Sage is already high in the spring and autumn, once he dies. When the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will kill Ling Zun Liwei and curry favor with his ministers. He stood up and falsely accused Ling Zun of rebellion this time, and he stood up early to show his attitude. This is the third evil. ”

After talking eloquently, I couldn't help but feel a little thirsty, took a sip of wine, and said no more.

An Qingxu was flustered in his heart, and he lost his square inch a little.

"My lord, my An family is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty to guard the frontier, and my loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon. In this Tang world, it is really difficult for me to have an An family! ”

"Leave Chang'an as soon as possible, in case Yang Guozhong is desperate." It's a little unbearable to be on the road.

"Thank you, brother, I'll go back and discuss with my family. In the future, if I An Qingxu gains power, I will definitely repay my brother! ”

An Qingxu got up and hurriedly left.

On March 1, An Lushan resigned and returned to Fanyang, Xuanzong untied the imperial clothes and gave it, and Lushan received it, both surprised and happy. I am afraid that Yang Guozhong played Xuanzong to keep himself, so he was driven out of Tongguan. Then take a boat down the Yellow River, and order the boatman to stand on the shore with a rope board, and change it for fifteen miles, day and night

For hundreds of miles, he didn't get off the boat after passing through the county and fled back to Fanyang.

Yang Guozhong claimed that there was evidence of An Lushan's rebellion, and forced Jing Zhaoyi Li Xian to send troops to attack An Lushan's mansion in Chang'an. Capture An Dai, Li Fanglai and other officials who stayed in Chang'an and strangle them.

"Yang Guozhong, this dog, is already crazy. Is this an attempt to force an army against An Lushan alive? After reading the news presented by Saturday, Lu shook his head and muttered to himself.

"The girl Fang of the Five Poisons Sect left a book in the small courtyard of Jinchengfang and wanted to see you." Liuzi looked straight ahead, as if what he had just said was not what he said.

I rubbed my nose a little embarrassed, and my heart moved. He smiled unnaturally, and in a flash, he disappeared.

After several fierce obsessions, he finally calmed down the resentment in Fang Gege's heart, and collapsed on the bed, panting.

"The Tang Dynasty is about to march to Nanzhao again, and this time Li Mi, who is familiar with Nanzhao affairs, will be appointed as the commander, and the army will be drawn soon."

Fang Gege put one hand on Lu Lu's chest, and said in a faint voice.

"I think it's around this time." I was not surprised at all.

"That Li Mi is cautious and cautious, and recruits staff who are familiar with Nanzhao's affairs. Senior Brother was also approached by one of Li Mi's staff members surnamed Wang, saying that he needed the help of my Five Holy Sect disciples. ”

Fang Gege sighed slightly, a little worried in his heart.

"What did your senior brother say?" The road is tight, and my heart is tight.

"Senior Brother found the sect leader, the sect leader agreed, and the Five Holy Churches did their best to help." Fang Gege looked a little unhappy.

"You're not going, are you?" Lu Lu was anxious, and his mouth was dealing with the squares.

"I'm not going to go, neither the Sect Master nor my father will let me go. This time, the Five Holy Sect accompanied the Tang Dynasty army to conquer Nanzhao, and it will be led by the senior brother. The war is dangerous, and Nanzhao is full of miasma swamps, so I'm worried that the senior brother will be in danger. ”

Fang Gege lay on his back on the bed, staring blankly at the roof.

"He is with the Tang army, where will there be any danger." I was relieved, and I felt complicated and weird in my heart.

"You say, can't everyone get along well, why do you want to start a war and kill and kill?" Fang Gege's eyes were wide open, a little dazed.

"This man! They all want to live a better life and live a better life, so they just fight for it. In the end, the one who grabbed the most became our Saint Majesty. His Majesty the Sage is not satisfied, so he will send an army to rob other countries. So, ah, there will be constant wars. ”

Lu smiled slightly and gave a simple answer.

"Our Majesty the Sage, who always wants to rob others and doesn't care about the lives of the people, is not a good Majesty." Fang Gege said angrily.

"Those who rob others are good Majesty, and those who rob one's own are bad Majesty, that's how the book judges. However, our Majesty the Sage, who wants to rob others and his own people, can be regarded as an insatiable Majesty. ”

Lu stretched his waist and said lazily.

In March, not a drop of rain fell, and the warm sunshine spread on the ground day after day, which was very dazzling.

"God, this, something good has happened. Have you forgotten that spring ploughing in the world needs to be moistened by rain? After walking out of the small courtyard, he couldn't help but curse again.

The Five Poisons Sect attacked Nanzhao with the Tang army, and the Tang army was like a tiger, and Nanzhao might not be able to deal with it. I looked up at the clear sky, and it was gray in front of me.
