Ten miles of long pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing, the sun is like fire in July, it is the time when "the bamboo is deep and the trees are dense and the insects are singing, and there is a slight coolness from time to time".

Inside the long pavilion, under the mottled pillars, Zhang You was dressed in white and stared at the north motionlessly.

The cars and horses on the official road, ten miles away, can still feel the prosperity of the capital, which makes Zhang You can't help but think of the child who saw the thatch in the city god temple market, Zhumen wine and meat stink, the road has frozen bones, from the beginning of the founding of Taizu, two hundred years down, even if Zhang Juzheng worked hard for ten years, the huge empire is just a little brighter on the outside, and its interior is already full of problems.

Liang Menglong's Zhishi hit Zhang You very hard, at this moment, he was independent of the pavilion, and he didn't feel mixed feelings, and he felt that in front of the huge wheel of history, he was so small, and the road ahead was so confused, faintly, he was actually a little depressed.

However, when he saw several carriages coming from afar, and Guo Zaoqing riding a horse to follow him, he knew that it must be the person he was waiting for who came, so he hurriedly collected his emotions, not wanting Liang Menglong to see him like this.

He was called back from Miyun by Li Wenjin, and just heard that Liang Menglong was going back to his hometown Zhending (now Zhengding, Hebei) today, so he didn't even go to the palace and came to see him off.

"Zicheng, when did you come back?" At first glance, seeing Zhang You coming out of the long pavilion, Guo Zaoqing was surprised, and asked from afar.

"I met Mr., the student has just come back, and I heard that Lord Liang left Beijing today, so he came to see him off."

The curtain of the car kept lifting, Liang Menglong also found Zhang You, hurriedly ordered the coachman to stop, got up and got out of the car, bowed to Zhang Youshen, and said with a smile: "It is said that people go to tea and cool, it is rare that Ming Weibo still thinks about me, a bad old man, and the old man has thanked him." ”

"The old man is serious, in the past, he was given the word by the king, and the younger generation has always felt it in his heart, and it is just that he can't catch up with you to leave Beijing, since he has caught up, and then he will not come to send a send, is it still a person?"

Liang Menglong is a little older than the last time Zhang You saw him, but his spirit is still vigorous, and his waist is still straight, not at all like a dignified military secretary who has been "ordered to be a scholar".

"Actually, the old man has always regretted giving you this table, don't look at your gentle appearance, but you are a lonely and arrogant person in your bones, at that time, I was afraid that you would make trouble for me in the future, but my worries seem to be superfluous, you entered Beijing with medical skills, and luckily with a hot air balloon, and now you are a dignified earl, but I am still a little worried, regret that I shouldn't have given you this table word on a whim, do you know why?"

Maybe he is about to leave, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future, Liang Menglong ignored Guo Zaoqing being next to him, and said very frankly, he has been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and he thought that he would never have a chance to say it to Zhang You in this life.

Zhang You didn't expect Liang Menglong to be so direct, and shook his head: "The juniors don't know, please ask the boss to solve your doubts." ”

In fact, he understands that it is estimated that Shen Shixing doesn't like him, and there is no way to do it, for these officials who have received Confucian orthodox education since childhood, no matter how high their status is, they are just a fortunate minister at best!

"Actually, it's very simple, because the old man can't see through you, and I'm afraid that one day, you will become a person like Jiang Bin."

And so it was!

Zhang You smiled bitterly: "This is also someone else's worry, right?" Because I am too close to His Majesty today, I am afraid that I will become a courtier. ”

He didn't name names, only replaced them with the word "others", but Liang Menglong knew who he was referring to, it was not a person, but a group of people.

"That's right, that's what worries us the most."

"How can I stop worrying you?"

"I don't know," Liang Menglong shook his head, and looked at the end of the official road, where the heat was steaming, and even the scenery was faintly distorted, he looked at it so stupidly, and it took a long time to retract his gaze, staring at Zhang You's eyes tightly, and said word by word: "Lu Yao knows horsepower, and sees people's hearts for a long time, if you really remember the virtue of the old man who gave you words in the past, I hope you will remember that no matter what you do, you must be worthy of your conscience." ”

"The juniors have been taught," Zhang You bowed to Liang Menglong respectfully, and when he straightened up, his eyes flashed: "The juniors also have a word in return: This heart is bright, and what can I say." ”

Liang Menglong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, and it took a long time to stop laughing: "Okay, good, what a 'this heart is bright, what can I say', I am really looking at you...... Jianchu, Zicheng, as the so-called thousands of miles to send you, there will be a farewell, don't pass it here, I hope that in the coming day, there will be a goodbye period. ”

After that, he turned to get into the car, gave a low command, and listened to the coachman's "driving" and waving the whip lightly, and the whip pulled a whip flower in mid-air, making a crisp sound of "pop", and then the wheels sparkled and slowly went south.

"Let's go, Zicheng, we've gone far, let's go back too!"

After standing for a moment, Guo Zaoqing gently patted Zhang You's shoulder.

"Hmm." Zhang You agreed, and U read the book .net untied the mount tied to the pillars of the long pavilion, and rode side by side with Guo Zaoqing, without saying anything all the way, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

I don't know how long I walked, Guo Zaoqing couldn't help but break the silence first: "What do you want Zicheng?" You can't be angry with Lord Liang, right? ”

"How is it possible, is your student the kind of person who is cautious?"

Guo Zaoqing smiled: "Don't say it, your heart is really not big, that's what you call a ...... will be repaid."

Zhang You glanced at Guo Zaoqing and interrupted him: "How can there be a gentleman like you?" As he spoke, he changed his words: "No kidding, let's talk about the right thing, it seems that in the eyes of Lord Liang and their orthodox literati, no matter how good I do, at best, I am just a fortunate minister, and it is really difficult to get their approval!" ”

"Why do you have to care about what other people think? Didn't you just say, 'This heart is bright, what can you say', since the heart is bright, what is there to say? Guo Zaoqing said, thought for a while, and said: "Yang Ming Gong has been frank all his life, since you take him as an example, then work hard to do it, and believe that sooner or later, the world will understand you." ”

"I wish there was that day!" Zhang You is still a little depressed, Guo Zaoqing is not an outsider, and there is no need to hide it.

"It seems that Lord Liang was ordered to be ordered to have a great impact on you, what does Lord Taifu say?" Guo Zaoqing knew the agreement between Zhu Yijun and Zhang You, so he naturally understood why Zhang You was troubled.

"He has no choice, he is not in his position, he does not seek his own government, since His Majesty wants to establish authority and eliminate his influence, he can only retreat."

"You don't have to be so depressed, maybe things aren't what you think they are." Guo Zaoqing comforted, and suddenly patted his head: "Look at my brain, I forgot to tell you, the hollow bullet was made." (Once Literature Network,)
