Ma Du walked into the academy quickly, first went to the flower garden to take a look, and when he saw Huang Zicheng, he asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Huang Zicheng nodded and pointed to the red silk in the flower garden, "The craftsman has just fixed it, and I'm waiting for you to speak." ”

"Good!" Ma Du nodded and said to him: "You can go to the city and rent a house as soon as possible, and then pack up and move out after fifteen." ”

Huang Zicheng was stunned when he heard this, "What mistake did the student make, and if you want to drive the student away, it is because of the resistance to Jinyiwei's law enforcement some time ago." The students are also in order to maintain the college, and they also beg the gentleman to be lenient. ”

Ma Du stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm punishing you, it's that the court needs you, and you will be an official in the future, and it won't be appropriate to stay in the academy anymore." ”

Huang Zicheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, how could there be a scholar who didn't want to be an official and show his talents, "Thank you Mr. for promoting, I don't know which yamen the student will go to on duty." ”

"I don't have that much ability to promote you, you should thank Your Majesty Longen, and you will be a subordinate official of the East Palace in the future, assist the prince well, don't live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

"Donggong? Did the emperor let the student go to the East Palace to be a subordinate official? Huang Zicheng couldn't believe that the subordinate officials of the East Palace appointed by the emperor would undoubtedly be the new emperor's ministers of the humerus in the future. He is a smart person, he was not well-known, and he suddenly got the emperor's blue eyes, which must be related to the rejection of Jinyiwei with the strength of students some time ago.

"That's right, it's the East Palace. In the future, when you arrive in the East Palace, don't memorize some Mencius's articles, especially in front of the emperor, this is the last bit of advice that the teacher can give you. ”

"Mencius is a sub-sage, why can't you mention his article."

"Because the emperor doesn't like him!"

Ma Du advised Huang Zicheng and went to the office, it was indeed Lao Zhu's idea to let Huang Zicheng go to the East Palace to be a subordinate official, Lao Zhu himself likes to use rotten people like Yang Xian and Hu Weiyong, but what can be left to his son is honest and duty-bound, and he just found a righteous gentleman who is not afraid of life and death, and he immediately can't wait to stuff it into his son's entrainment.

There was a burst of laughter in the office, warm as spring, and a few old men were chatting around the small stove making tea.

Ye Dui just took the position of the mountain chief when he came, and when he caught the opportunity, he unceremoniously stretched out his hand to Ma Du to ask for something, "The old man heard that he has to divide the house as a gentleman in the academy, and he can't favor one over the other, where is the old man's house, get it quickly!" ”

"Mr. Ye is mistaken, you are the head of the Royal Academy to contribute to the royal family, how can you find a junior to ask for benefits, you are looking for the wrong person."

Ye Dui said with a smile: "The old man doesn't care so much, if you don't give it, I will move to your house to live." ”

Zhu Sheng, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said in a weak voice: "Brother Liangzhong miscalculated, the old lady of his family can't pick the door, I'm afraid it's better for you to go to his house to eat and live in the academy." But you don't need to worry, the old man doesn't have a few days to live, and when the old man dies, as long as Brother Liangzhong doesn't dislike me, the house will be taken and lived......"

Ma Du hurriedly interrupted, "What kind of bad luck did Mr. Zhu say for the New Year, I came here today to give you a New Year gift, and I wanted to give it tomorrow, but I can't wait in my heart, I want to ask Mr. to take a look!" ”

Hearing that there was a gift, Zhu Sheng's spirit immediately came, "What new things have you come up with, take them out for the old man to see!" ”

"It's too big to fit here, please move outside!"

Ma Du immediately put a blanket on Zhu Sheng's body, pushed the wheelchair to the outside and walked towards the flower garden, while the old men followed slowly to the garden.

The movement here has attracted many teachers and students of the academy, all of whom are looking at the red silk under the maple trees, including Yuan Jiuli, who hurried over because of curiosity.

"Let's go!" Ma Du pushed the wheelchair all the way to the red silk, lowered his head and said to Zhu Sheng: "Mr. Zhu bothers you to uncover the red silk yourself!" ”

Zhu Sheng smiled and said, "Mysterious, what the hell are you doing." Zhu Sheng stretched out his trembling hand and wanted to grab the red silk but couldn't reach it, Ma Du hurriedly handed the corner of the red silk to Zhu Sheng's hand, "Now you can untie it!" ”

"Huh...... Look what the hell you're up to. Zhu Sheng slowly pulled down the red silk with both hands, and when the red silk slipped off, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and all the teachers and students also let out a surprised voice, "This is ......"

I saw that under the red silk was a humanoid statue of about six feet, but there were no legs and feet, the upper half was the head and body of the person, and the lower half was an integrated stone platform, which was engraved with dense small characters.

This statue is black and shiny, an old man holding a roll in one hand and a beard in the other, looking into the distance with an ethereal expression, as if he is contemplative and confused, the atmosphere of a grandmaster.

If you look closely, you feel that this old man's appearance is a little familiar, and then look at Zhu Sheng, who slowly got up from the wheelchair, isn't it him? But it's almost twenty years younger.

Zhu Sheng stroked the smooth stone statue with his withered and old hands, and sighed to Ma Du: "This gift of Xuanzhong is too heavy. ”

"The younger generation has no ability, invite your statue to the Confucian Temple for the world to worship, but it can still be done in the academy for students to worship, and it is also what the younger generation should do, I originally wanted to get a copper, but I was afraid of being poisoned by the war, and it was not good to be taken away and melted to cast money, and it is always no problem to change the inheritance of stone for 1,800 years."

Zhu Sheng glanced at the academy, "Such a Wenhua treasure land, even if it suffers from the war, no one dares to destroy it, and it will be scolded in his old age." After he finished speaking, he put on his reading glasses and buttoned the words on them one by one with his fingers, and it took him a long time to finish reading, and he turned his head and said to a few old men: "Old friends have praised it, Zhu can't afford it!" ”

Ye Dui said: "The words have been engraved and can't be changed, Brother Yunsheng just needs to admit it, just set up a rule, and in the future, Xuanzhong will give me a statue to carve some nice words." Xuanzhong, the old man really plans to sell himself to the academy, there will always be an old man in the future. ”

Ma Du stretched out his finger and pointed, "Naturally, there is, how about putting those plum blossoms on the edge, just fit your nickname!" ”

Tao An leaned over and said: "Xuanzhong, although the old man has not been a mountain chief, he is also careful to teach his disciples, and he will have it when the time comes." ”

"Yes! Yes! A few gentlemen are indispensable, and when I go back, I will find a craftsman to carve it and put it in your home, so that you can watch it every day, and when you are tired of seeing it, you will move it to the academy. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Zhu Sheng suddenly coughed violently, his sallow face turned red, and everyone stroked his chest and beat his back for a long time before he could be relieved.

Ye Du held the handle of the wheelchair, "It's cold outside, Brother Yunsheng should go back to the house and sit, don't forget to come to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night!" ”

The few remaining maple leaves on the maple tree have long since faded their bright red color and turned into an unsightly muddy yellow, slowly falling under the cold wind. Ma Du picked up the maple leaf that fell on him in a daze, and patted him on the shoulder with a big fat hand, "The maple tree will soon grow tender green new leaves, and in autumn it will turn red, becoming the most beautiful scenery in the academy." ”

Ma Du turned his head to look at Bo Qi and sighed: "Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young anymore." Man is not a tree, and if he dies, he is really dead. ”

"A scholar can live to Mr. Zhu's part, even if he is dead, what is there to regret, do you think he doesn't know that this statue is a gift of death, he is not full of joy to accept." Bo Qi stretched out his hand to brush away a trace of dust from the statue, "If the old man is dead, is there such a statue?" ”

"Huh...... You were once in charge of such a huge empire, and you were still worried that you would not be able to go down in history? "History of the Yuan" has been compiled, and it is a big book for you, do you still care about a small stone statue? ”

"Where is a failed emperor worthy of a successful grandmaster is more fulfilling, you won't fail to satisfy me with this little wish."

Ma Du shook his head and said in a very low voice: "Once the emperor's sword is raised, it will not be easily put down, I may have to leave, so I may not have the opportunity to make a statue for you." ”

"Really!? I really want to know what the place you're going to look like, but it's a pity that it's too difficult for the old man to run away, so remember to take the old man's daughter with you. After Bo Qi finished speaking, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and left.

Ma Du was about to turn around and go home, and immediately bumped into a person, "I said Mr. Yuan, aren't you writing Spring Festival couplets, why did you run into the academy again." ”

Yuan Jiuli smiled: "It's just a fun, I saw everything just now." Well, this ...... I have also been teaching in the academy for more than ten years, I have no merit and hard work, can you also erect a statue for me, I will pay for it myself, it doesn't need to be so big, it can be three feet high......"

"Oh, Mr. Yuan, I still remember that there are very important things that I haven't done, and I'll talk about this later!"

Seeing Ma Du run away without a trace, Yuan Jiuli was stunned for a long time, and a long-lost resentment arose, "Sooner or later, I will leave this rotten place without fairness, right and wrong, and a sense of justice!" ”
