Half a month later.

A carriage drove slowly past Chang'an and walked south, and the horse's nose let out a loud cry, spewing out a breath of white gas, and letting out an old neigh.

The streets of Chang'an are full of people standing on both sides of the road, some gloating, some full of sadness, and some whispering inquiring.

People looked curiously at the carriage slowly passing by.

Chen Yi lifted the curtain and looked at the people on both sides of the road, his heart was full of emotion, he would have expected that he had escaped death, although he had been dismissed from his official position and became an ordinary person, and lived a leisurely life, it was not a good thing.

Two days ago, he made a detailed plan for the future of the academy and handed it over to the second prince, which can be regarded as the last thing he did for Dayuan, and I believe that the people of the future generations will definitely give him justice.

Alas! It's just that I didn't expect that when I left the capital, I would be very reluctant.

"Childe, the road ahead was blocked by the students of the academy, and the carriage couldn't pass." Thirteen walked over to the carriage and whispered.

"Teacher."

"Teacher ......"

Outside the carriage, the pleading voices of students were heard.

"Stop."

The carriage stopped steadily on the road, walked out of the carriage, looked at the students kneeling on the road, there was a wine jar next to each student, Pei Xuan held a wine jar in both hands, walked over slowly, and whispered tremblingly: "Teacher, I ......"

After being silent for a long time, Chen Yi interrupted Pei Xuan and said, "What are you doing here?" You must study hard and be a good courtier who is loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and the teacher will be proud of you in the future. ”

took over the wine jar, and said with a smile: "Persuade you to have a glass of wine and go out of Yangguan for no reason." After speaking, he raised his head and drank it in a big gulp, and the hot wine fell on the cyan slate along the corners of his mouth, and there was not only wine on the slate, but also his helplessness about the world.

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight. After drinking, the students slowly stood up and retreated to the side of the road. I don't know who started first and sang the farewell he had taught them.

……

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. Ask you when you will go, and don't linger when you come. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered. Life is rare for reunions, but there are many separations. ”

"Chenyi, you're crying." Liu Yiyi's eyes were red, and she stood beside her and choked in a low voice.

"Where? The wind blew the sand to his eyes. ”

"Let's go." The carriage drove south again.

Yuan Yufeng stood on the city wall and looked at the carriage that was far away, his heart was full of dare, full of reluctance, and said in his heart: Chenyi, this farewell, I don't know when we will be able to meet, I hope you will cherish it.

Yuan Yufeng stood on the city wall and said loudly: "The gentleman said: You can't learn. Green, taken from blue, and green from blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water. Wooden straight rope, light for the wheel, its curve in the rules, although there is violence, do not stand up, let it be. Therefore, the wood is straight when it is roped, and the gold is sharpened. A gentleman who is erudite and self-conscious knows what to do is not wrong.

Therefore, if you do not climb the mountain, you do not know the height of the sky; If you don't face a deep stream, you don't know the thickness of the ground; I don't know the last words of the ancestors, and I don't know the greatness of learning. The son of Yu Yue Yi raccoon dog, born with the same voice, grew up and was different, and taught it to be so. The poem says: "A gentleman, there is no eternal rest." Jing Gonger's position, good is integrity. God listens to it, and Jie Er Jingfu. "God is greater than the Tao, and blessing is better than no disaster.

………… The students under the city walls also recited.

"Mountains of soil, wind and rain. The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born. Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared. Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. Qi Ji jumps, can't take ten steps; Ten horses, the merit is relentless. Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. The worm has no claws and teeth, the muscles and bones are strong, the upper food is the soil, the lower drink the yellow spring, and the heart is also the same. The crab is six kneeling and two chela, and there is no one who can be placed on the cave of the snake and the snake, and he is also restless. It is the one who has no ambition to be dark, and there is no clarity. Those who have nothing to worry about have nothing to do, no great achievements. Those who do the Tao will not come, and those who will do two things will not be allowed. The eyes cannot see both eyes, and the ears cannot hear and deaf. The beetle snake flies without feet, and the sycamore has five branches and is poor. The poem says: "The corpse dove is in Sang, and its son is seven." Ladies and gentlemen, their manners are the same. His rituals are like a knot, and his heart is like a knot. "Therefore, the gentleman is united."

After reciting, Pei Xuan cried bitterly against the city wall, and the students' faces were like ashes, and their voices were endless, echoing in the sky above Chang'an City for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is what the old slave saw and heard with his own eyes and heard in Chang'an City today." Gao Gonggong knelt in the Heart Cultivation Hall and replied carefully, for some reason he felt that today's Heart Cultivation Hall was unusually depressed, looking at the emperor's silent back, this tall back was full of loneliness, full of loneliness.

It's not that I won't allow you, but the ministers in the court can't tolerate you, if you didn't fake the holy decree, how could you get to this point.

"Grandpa Gao, you go down first, let me be alone for a while." The hall was filled with Yuan Jie's tired voice.

Gao Gonggong slowly retreated, walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, stood outside the gate, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his hand, and said in his heart: I was really scared to death just now.

"You guys cheer up, the emperor is angry, if there is a mistake, be careful of your head." Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs outside the door, they whispered.

The carriage walked forward on the road outside the city, unhurriedly, the green willows on both sides of the river, standing many tall trees, it was April, the green willows were shady, red and green, the scenery was particularly charming.

After a month of exhaustion, the group finally arrived in Yingcheng and stayed in a post house called Yuelaiju.

"A few objective, your dishes have been served, please use them slowly." Over forty years old, the man in sackcloth said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, wait a minute, I want to ask the shopkeeper a few things."

"Guest officer, as long as I know something, I must tell a few people."

"Shopkeeper, we went to Jiangling City, a huge city, we saw most old people along the way, and many doors were closed, is there anything going on in the city?"

"Listen to the guest officer's accent, several guest officials are from all the way from the capital." The shopkeeper said as he looked around warily.

"The shopkeeper has good eyesight, we are from the capital."

"A few guest officers did not know that fifty miles from west to east from Gangneung City there was a place called Garan Mountain, and three months ago, a group of people gathered on the mountain, and this group of people did all kinds of evil, and all the strong men within a radius of a hundred miles were arrested and given free labor for them."

"Why don't you resist?" Liu Yiyi hurriedly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't know, that group of people are masters of poisoning, I don't know when they poisoned the well water in the city, all the men who drank the well water, if they can't get the antidote to relieve the toxicity, they will bleed to death, after a few people died, people gradually gave up resistance, had to work obediently, maybe there will be a day when they come back."

"And our practical well water?" After hearing this, Thirteen spit out all the tea in his mouth.

"A few guest officers can rest assured, your practical tea is non-toxic, and the villain goes to the east every day to ask for the spring water of the mountain, and the guest officer can use it." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he picked up a cup of untouched tea on the table and drank it.
