Chapter 28 Distant Mountains
Mr. Ge is not a strong person, so he didn't ask too much when he heard this.
"Is the girl you carried on the Red Mountain still alive?" As if he suddenly remembered something, Mr. Ge took a sip of tea and asked.
Song Zizhen's thin lips hooked a trace of arc, a pair of eyes looked into the distance, smiled elegantly, and revealed half a point of relaxation in his tone: "She is very good." ”
Song Zizhen turned his head to look at Mr. Ge: "Speaking of this, Mr. Ge asked Zizhen for a condition when he rescued her that year, and Zizhen still owes it." ”
Old Mr. Ge's silver-white hair shone slightly, and he thought for a while.
"I think it's a miracle that you were able to come back to life back then, but I didn't expect that girl doll to be so strong. You guys really look alike, and you'll bring it to the old man when you come. "The old gentleman is old, and he always speaks slowly," the miserable white and thin little face, with hands like dry wood, was already dying when it was sent! I survived. ”
Song Zizhen smiled again, yes, he didn't expect it.
"As for the conditions, just find me an apprentice." The old gentleman knew that Song Zizhen must have other things, "You went up the mountain nearly a month earlier than I agreed with you this time, let's say, what else is going on?" ”
Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from Mr. Ge's eyes.
"Zizhen wants to ask Mr. for a letter."
Song Zizhen once asked Xiao Yue to check the family backgrounds of Liu Chunmin, Qi Shen and others, everything was normal, and the family backgrounds of the three were normal.
He also probably knew that Tai Shi Xinhe and the three students had indeed been 'in retreat' for three years, during which they had been preparing for exams and discussing together, and had been in that small hut in Jiangnan.
He has seen the records of the palace examination of the three people at that time, Liu Chunmin is innovative and meticulous, and more importantly, he grasped the desire of the current emperor to dominate the world, and when answering, he grasped a key idea to answer, and naturally there is no problem in winning the championship.
Qi Shen himself is not inferior to Liu Chunmin in terms of literary talent, but he lacks some flexibility, and his rhetoric is undisguised and directly criticizes today's national conditions. If there was no strong support from the imperial historian Ning Changchang and the military department Shangshu Yao Huan at that time, Qi Shen would probably miss Tanhua.
The most suspicious is Yuan He, his level is actually not outstanding, although the overall appearance is not bad.
But at that time, Xia Chun, the minister of national protection, praised him vigorously, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, there was always something suspicious about it.
Later, it was found out that the grandfather of the Minister of National Protection Xia Chun and Yuan He's great-grandmother were still biological brother and sister, which is interesting.
Yuan He, who was only nineteen years old, didn't know that he had such a somewhat related Uncle Xia.
Whether Xia Chun simply admires Yuan He's talent, or knows that he wants to win over a few people in the younger generation, who can say for sure?
What's more, in recent years, Xia Chun has also shown signs of encircling courtiers, whether he is true or falsely loyal, just in case it's always good.
Although Mr. Ge has lived in seclusion in Hongyue Mountain for decades, he was once very popular in the imperial court.
He was not only the leader of the Tai Hospital, but also put forward a number of policies in the imperial court, and after the success of the trial, he was quite loved by the people, and became a generation of Confucians who not only did practical things but also were honest and honest.
The first emperor also found a reason to demote him to Nantong because of the high merits of his courtiers.
Later, he climbed the isolated Hongyue Mountain and found a place of tranquility.
Mr. Ge and Xia Chun were both good brothers who fought together back then, Xia Chun was a teenager at the time, and Mr. Ge was twelve years older than him, but because of a common goal, the two became friends for the year. Today, only two of them are left alive among the founding fathers.
If you can ask for a letter from Mr. Ge, you may be able to suppress the thoughts in Xia Chun's heart.
"For your emperor brother who only knows suspicion?" Mr. Ge pouted
Ho! He's a brother!
"For example, the current situation is turbulent today, with the Xiao tribe in the north and the invasion of the Tibetan foreign tribe in the south, disasters everywhere are continuous, and the treasury is empty. The entire DJI is in crisis, how can it be said that it is for the emperor. Song Zizhen smiled lightly.
"Ho! You always have all sorts of high-sounding reasons. He stood up, his hands in his brown-and-black cuffs.
The mountain is high, so it is naturally colder than the mountain, and it is normal to be cold in old age.
He scolded twice, and his hands warmed each other: "Isn't the sixth prince a living example, don't you have a long lesson?" ”
"The sixth brother is not without suspicious reasons, according to investigation, he did have a tendency to rebel at that time." Song Zizhen retorted.
"If it is the sixth brother who sits on the throne today, I will also help him." As long as the hard-built Daning Kingdom is still there, and the Song is still the emperor, it is impossible for him to sit idly by.
Mr. Ge pointed to the sky in the distance, it was a little cold today, and the thick shawl was indeed taken off earlier.
She didn't argue with Song Zizhen anymore, but said: "There will be a heavy snowfall in late spring this year, and those children in the city who have never seen snow can finally get a glimpse of the true face." He hesitated for a moment, "I will write the letter you want, but the old man will not grant you any more requests in the future, and the old man will not owe you anything." ”
Song Zizhen was overjoyed when he heard this.
He was already very satisfied to be able to do this, so he half-knelt down and bowed down to the great salute he had made to his father in his life.
Mr. Ge sighed a few times in his heart, since ancient times, he has been ruthless as an emperor, and the battle for the throne has been staged in a reincarnation in history, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain.
It was the first time he had seen such a fool with political talent and born in an imperial family.
It's just a matter of not seizing the throne with his brother, and he can do his best to be unbiased at all, and use all his power to defend the imperial family, obviously a person who can stir up the world with his own strength, but he wants to be an invisible good person.
Anyway, for people like Mr. Ge who have experienced disappointment, they are not optimistic about the rotten good people in the world.
In Mr. He's eyes, there is no one in the world who is more stupid than Song Zizhen.
But this matter was discovered from the time he took the risk of carrying the dying female doll on the back of Hongyue Mountain in such a harsh environment.
But Song Zizhen, the king of clouds, is such a scheming person that he willingly wrote this letter of persuasion, so that he would not be disgusted with the people of the emperor's family.
Isn't that skillful enough?
It's probably because people are old and confused.
Song Zizhen looked at the slightly hunched figure of the old man and his staggering steps, and a complicated feeling suddenly appeared in his heart......
There is a tendency to cool down these days, and as Mr. Ge said, there will be a snow in late spring.
I wonder if those blooming flowers will be able to bear fruit as scheduled......
Whenever it rains and snows, the road becomes more and more difficult to walk.
It is an amazing performance that an ordinary person can take a few steps on it.
Fortunately, Song Zizhen often goes up and down here, and he has adapted to the geographical environment here, and the descent has become much smoother.
Xiao Yue had been waiting at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, and when he saw His Royal Highness King Yun coming down from the suspended plank road, he shouted: "Your Highness, the day has cooled down, Xiao Yue has prepared a long cloak for you." ”
Song Zizhen looked kind, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, straightened the robe tied around his waist, and flicked off the dust stained on his body.
He had just come down from the mountain, and his body was feverish.
"Hurry up and send the letter to the Guogong (Xia Chun) Mansion." Song Zizhen ordered lightly.
Xiao Yue responded, and then said: "Miss Xue Xiang set up a wine in the Lanting Pavilion and waited for the son to come over. ”
In the past, every year after Song Zizhen went to Hongyue Mountain to visit Mr. Ge, she would routinely go to Xue Xiang's Lanting Xiaozhu, and she would prepare some good wine and food every time, so that Song Zizhen could rest and write poems together.
It's just this year......
Song Zizhen hesitated and looked at it...... The snow is coming down soon, and it's already cooling down a bit.
He had heard that Taishi Xinhe had fallen ill once four years ago, and since then he has been left with a cold disease, and he has been very miserable every winter month.
He had missed her for more than ten years, and he would be by her side for the rest of his life.
"No, you send Miss Xue a few more sets of scholarly four treasures to apologize, she is the poet who likes these the most. Ben Wang ...... Gotta hurry to Langzhou. Song Zizhen was already very happy, from the time he found out the news of Taishi Xinhe, and entered the city from Taishi Xinhe, he was happy all day long.
When he didn't see her angry and smirked, he didn't feel very uncomfortable.
Xiao Yue was slightly stunned.
In the past, His Royal Highness King Yun, who wanted to say that he was a family, was not close to women, but everyone got along with her...... They all think he's proficient at keeping his distance.
For example, when a woman mentions some gossip or love between men and women with her, His Royal Highness King Yun keeps silent, but when it comes to similar social issues such as morality, the two seem to have found a confidant who understands each other best.
It is because all the women in the world think that they have a good relationship with the King of Clouds, and they can clearly understand that there is a great distance between themselves and His Royal Highness the King of Clouds.
But Xiao Yue could see clearly that even though the women around His Royal Highness King Yun were charming, sultry, and full of literature, none of them could get into his eyes.
And Xue Xiang is a little different.
After four years, Taishi Xinhe reappeared, and even if Xue Xiang was different, he was just a friend at most.
"Your Highness, you have made a lot of enemies in the rivers and lakes, and it is a long way to Langzhou, Your Highness should be more careful." Xiao Yue leaned over and said, a little relieved.
Song Zizhen had already gotten into the carriage prepared by Xiao Yue, and without any further delay, he added: "This king is sure, you just have to wait for this king to return home after delivering the letter." ”
After a while, however, nothing but dust rose in the air, and the carriage was gone.
Xiao Yue sent the gift originally prepared for Xue Xiang to Lanting Xiaozhu according to Song Zizhen's instructions.
Xue Xiang was dressed in a white piano and sat quietly on the side to stroke the piano.
The wine and food will be cold, and seeing that there is only Xiao Yue who comes, Xue Xiang probably understands.
"Miss Xue, Your Highness is in a hurry to leave in advance. The girl will accept these ink treasures, and she will definitely be worthy of the girl's poems for the coming year. ”
Xiao Yue put down his things, and then spoke fluently and politely.
Xue Xiang got up and thanked him.
"The tired son is driving, and the little woman is flattered." Her eyes met in the calm lake, "I hope that Young Master Xiao will convey to Xue Xiang, thank you for your care over the years." ”
Xiao Yue bowed, nodded his head, and then stepped back.
