Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Street Tavern Meets the Dead

The battle between Luo Yan and those people in the Qin Palace's mansion soon spread throughout Chang'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, the version that came out at the beginning was that Luo Yan relied on his talent and was proud of his talents, and refused to have a good conversation with his peers. And he was sarcastic about his peers, and he did it without saying a word.

This kind of rumor was naturally made out by Zhao Jian, the purpose of which was to stink Luo Yan and give himself a good breath.

Luo Yan naturally didn't say much after hearing this rumor, or did what he should do as usual. Anyway, everything here is Li Shimin's final say in the end, even if he is scolded outside, isn't there still someone who understands in this Qin Wangfu. It is only those who don't like to use their brains that they will listen to rumors.

But as Luo Yan's acquaintance, Qiu Xuan couldn't bear this breath. These people are so shameless that they directly reverse black and white and ignore the facts. Qiu Xuan, as a witness to the whole incident, didn't want to just leave it at that.

In the following days, as long as Qiu Xuan had time, he would go out and tell his acquaintances what happened that day.

No, even the limerick poem read by Luo Yan was spread out, and Chang'an City suddenly became lively. Those people who kept saying bad things about Luo Yan were unanimously aimed at Zhao Jian at this time. Whoever let a few of them deceive themselves before, they must be colored by these guys.

Ordinary people like this kind of thing even more. These officials are pulling back and forth, but none of them have a good reputation. It took a few days for someone with good deeds to write a legend, and the name was "Luo Xiaoshu Teases the Stupid Scholar". It simply praised Luo Yan as rare in the sky and nothing in the earth.

Now it's okay, the wind direction suddenly changed, and Zhao Jian and the others were completely dumbfounded.

In the end, the matter was so big that even Li Yuan, who had been in the Taiji Palace all day, heard about it. Because it involves his own son, although this is what happened to the two low-level petty officials of the Qin Palace, but if it goes on like this, even Li Shimin has to be dragged down.

Although Li Yuan did not have the idea of making Li Shimin the crown prince in his heart, he still had the intention of protecting Li Shimin. Therefore, Li Yuan wanted to issue an edict directly, wanting to drive Zhao Jian and Luo Yan out of the Qin Palace. Now that the emperor has dealt with it personally, even if someone uses this matter to say that Li Shimin does not know anyone, it will not affect Li Shimin because the coffin has been closed a long time ago. It's okay now, I finally worked as a pen clerk for a few days, and I was just getting familiar with the things at hand, and I was about to be kicked out, which made Luo Yan very hurt.

He's really the one who lays down the gun this time.

Fortunately, Li Shimin and Li Yuan strongly asked to keep Luo Yan, and the things Luo Yan did before still left a lot of good impressions on Li Yuan. So knowing that the party involved was Luo Yan, who had relieved himself at the gate of Mingde, Li Yuan could be regarded as having read the old relationship, but agreed to Li Shimin's request, did not say so much, and promised to let Li Shimin deal with it himself.

There is room for relaxation.

Back in the Qin Palace, Li Shimin personally scolded Zhao Jian and a few people, and then sent a few people to Yongzhou to take care of some local affairs. Although the grade remains the same, several people are going to the general lower county, and they are not full-time jobs, so it can be regarded as a very serious punishment.

Compared with the miserable fate of these people, Luo Yan is too much better, Li Shimin politely asked a few words about the recent situation, and then sent Luo Yan back.

Now everyone understands it. Although Luo Yan is a pen clerk with no rank, he is still valued by Li Shimin, so the people who used to think about how to find Luo Yan's stubble have all turned off at this time. Qiu Xuan and the two of them were even happier, now they finally saw what kind of character Luo Yan was, and this relationship was definitely the right match.

In the following days, Luo Yan was in the Qin Palace, and there was no longer such a thing as being watched like a monkey. However, in the early winter of this year, Luo Yan still encountered a very happy thing.

In the past three years, because of his hard study in the mountains, Luo Yan, a scholar who came to Luzhou to take the exam, did not see any of them. But this year, there was time, and by the end of October, after the scholars who had followed the tribute arrived in Chang'an, Luo Yan kept inquiring and finally found them in an inn.

Although Luo Yan didn't know any of these people in front of him, he couldn't stand Luo Yan's short words in Luzhou Mansion School back then, so that many people remembered this senior. In the past, Luo Yan's name was only circulated in Chang'an, and most of the poems that circulated outside were his poems.

When they arrived in Chang'an, these scholars found out how popular Luo Yan was in Chang'an. At this time, the battle between Luo Yan and Zhao Jian was still exuding residual heat in Chang'an. When these scholars went out for a walk on the first day they arrived in Chang'an, they heard someone still talking about a story in the tavern, talking about the legend "Luo Xiaoshu Teases the Stupid Scholar" written by someone who didn't know it.

At the beginning, these few thought it was the secretary of the province and another school scrivener surnamed Luo. Who knew that after the storyteller finished speaking, when the people around him discussed, they brought the word Luzhou.

As soon as I heard that this scholar was interested, I immediately asked this one, and after inquiring, these few people found out that what they were talking about just now was their senior. So this interest became even stronger, pulled the people around him, invited a jar of wine, and set out all the things that Luo Yan had done in the past few years.

At first glance, it sounds remarkable. Is this still what the seemingly weak scholar in his memory did? These people couldn't help but sigh, the senior is really powerful.

As a result, because of this relationship, these people were also invited to a drink. The people of Luzhou don't know about Luo Yan's affairs in Chang'an, but the people of Chang'an are equally curious about Luo Yan's past in Luzhou.

At present, these scholars are surrounded by people, and they are even more lively than when the storyteller told the story just now.

So these scholars also told Luo Yan about what happened in Luzhou back then, of course, there must have been a lot of praise here. The two corroborations, coupled with the words that these scholars finally said when Luo Yan returned to Luzhou Mansion three years ago, people have a better impression of Luo Yan now.

And Luo Yan's serious study in Chang'an also taught these scholars a good lesson. Compared with others, when I was definitely studying, I was not diligent in my career.

No, after Luo Yan found it, these scholars looked at Luo Yan with adoring eyes. For this year's imperial examination, Luo Yan doesn't know too much about the inside story, and he doesn't even know who the chief examiner is. Moreover, even if he knew, he didn't have the ability to do anything.

Therefore, after cheering for a few scholars, knowing that several people were here to take the examination, Luo Yan also told a few people about some of the things he learned about the scientific examination. Leave a sum of money, so that these scholars can also study in Chang'an, and make a promise to come back to see them after a while, and Luo Yan went back. But Luo Yan's surprise didn't stop there.

Not only did he see the scholars in his hometown, but Luo Yan also saw the old man in the Qin Palace.

As soon as Zhou Jin went to Wude in the fifth year, he never heard from him again, but he didn't expect to suddenly appear in Chang'an at this time. After Zhou Jin finished handling his business, he took Luo Yan to a tavern near King Qin's mansion.

"Brother, I've wanted to kill my brother in the past few years." Zhou Jin was as bold as ever, drank a bowl of wine, and then said to Luo Yan.

"I haven't heard from Brother Zhou for a few years, but I didn't expect to see each other today, haha." Luo Yan didn't pay attention to Zhou Jin's nonsense, but was a little strange that Zhou Jin didn't have correspondence. At that time, after Zhou Jin took office, Luo Yan wrote to him, but he didn't expect to even reply.

"Hey, you don't know, I killed a back and forth on the battlefield. Originally, I thought that I could be a good civil servant, but who would have thought that I would make people worse, and I fought a few battles with His Royal Highness King Qin, and I went to Yongzhou in a daze, and I naturally couldn't receive your letter. I wanted to write to you, but I did something secret, and I didn't know your identity at the time, so I had to act as if nothing had happened. Zhou Jin didn't hide it, but his voice was a little low when he spoke.

What he wanted to do with Zhou Jin was still confidential, so Luo Yan didn't want to ask too much. However, Zhou Jin obviously has a lot to say.

"I thought that I would be able to get into a good position in the past three years. Who would have thought that after three years of not seeing you, you are still working as a pen clerk in the palace, hahaha. Zhou Jin said with a smile.

"Oh, it seems that Brother Zhou has been mixing well in the past few years?" Luo Yan was also a little curious about what kind of official Zhou Jin was.

"Hehe, brother, you would never have thought of what kind of official I am now." Zhou Jin wanted Luo Yan to guess, but Luo Yan definitely didn't want to play such a childish game, and in desperation, Zhou Jin had no choice but to tell the truth: "Captain Xuanjie of Yongzhou." ”

Zhou Jin's official position definitely frightened Luo Yan.

It's going up too fast. Back then, this product was awarded an official from the ninth grade, and it has only been a few years, and it is all the eighth grade. However, what Luo Yan is even more surprised is that this thing is actually a military attache now, you read that right, Captain Xuanjie is a military attaché. A good Jinshi Kejinshi actually became a military attaché, no wonder this product is sold Guan Zi said that he couldn't guess it.

saw Luo Yan's bewildered face. Zhou Jin finally laughed proudly: "Haha, who said that we scholars can't be military attachés." I went to the battlefield and made military achievements, and I was not allowed to change my court. Although Zhou Jin said it very cheerfully, Luo Yan also saw that his seriousness was also a little dignified, obviously, this battlefield is not good.

In the following time, Zhou Jin began to tell Luo Yan about his thrilling things on the battlefield in Shandong. It turned out that although this product was casually awarded at the beginning, Li Shimin had a lot of power at that time, so he casually transferred Zhou Jin to Shandong. When Zhou Jin went, he was just in time for Li Shimin to be surrounded by Liu Heimin, and after that battle, fortunately, Zhou Jin's Lao Tzu trained him when he was a child, although he was seriously injured, but fortunately, he saved his life, and then he was mixed in a group of soldiers, and after a few months, he mixed out of Dianmingtang. Later, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, because he was recommended by Yu Zhining, so he was put in Yongzhou.

Quietly listening to Zhou Jin tell his story, Luo Yan was also embarrassed. No wonder people climb so fast, this fame still has to come from the horse.
