Chapter Twenty-Six: Mr. Qian and Liu Rushi (1)

Qian Qianyi's reputation in the world where Cheng Qi lived was not good, at least not as good as his daughter-in-law.

And in this world, because the swimmer Qian no longer has to worry about the water temperature, he has a good reputation until now. Cheng Qi sat in the carriage, thinking that the northern border of the Great Song Empire was as stable as Mount Tai and the south of the Yangtze River was prosperous as a dream, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky: this dimensional world, because there was no Jurchen barbarian invasion to destroy the Northern Song Empire, had already allowed the Han nation to evolve itself into a constitutional monarchy, and the Mongolian iron cavalry also did not go south to destroy the last hope of the Han people in the Middle Ages because of the leadership of the powerful Khitans, so that the Song Empire had enough time to develop science and technology, explore the world, and move towards industrial civilization. It was all so dreamy that it felt a little unreal to him. But when he saw Huang Yang with his right collar next to him, and Hua Fangfu wearing a decent skirt, he couldn't help but believe that all this was true.

The wheels rolled over the well-planned street, and Cheng Qi looked at the neat street trees outside through the glass window, feeling a little familiar and unfamiliar.

The Han Chinese are indeed geniuses at building cities, and they are also good at learning. The great city of Bianjing was not just the wisdom of the Han Chinese themselves: architects from England constructed a series of trading houses and warehouses; Designers from Rome and Genoa planned the city's sewers – the conscience of a city; Goryeo craftsmen from the East and craftsmen from the Japanese Kingdom have worked together to restore the Tooth Castle in the style of the Tang Dynasty.

It is also interesting to say that the Zhao Guanjia may be the most people-friendly emperor in Chinese history. Since Emperor Zhenzong, the palace wall is not too high, and there are people outside the forbidden city who set up stalls to sell fruits, and the guards will not drive them away. In 1789, when the citizens of Bianjing rose up to make a revolution, they once invaded the edict prison where prisoners were imprisoned - Ba Prison. But it did not harass the Zhao royal family, even if the crowd became more and more fierce later, so much so that the emperor's head, the prime minister's head, and countless heads were chopped off, and Luo Ersi (Zi Bo Pi), who was called the "King of Terror" by the history books full of fear, not only vetoed the proposal to assign the daughters of the Zhao family (including the queen, concubine, princess, and other noble ladies and ladies who were detained by the republican government at that time) to the generals of the republican army or simply confiscated into official prostitutes. They were also quite gentry and sent them to the Goryeo Kingdom, which was neutral at that time.

Because the republican government had "stolen" the palace for several years, and after the peace between the north and the south, the republican government was also unwilling to hand over this good plot of land in the center of Bianjing on the grounds that "most of the palaces in the forbidden city were demolished, and there were no pavilions and terraces". After some bargaining, the Second Imperial Court, which was also the capital of Bianliang, circled a piece of land in Xiangfu County, southeast of Kaifeng City, to rebuild the imperial city.

Because of the power of "water can carry a boat or overturn a boat", the new court did not build a large number of buildings, and after the return of the capital, the treasury power was also returned to the fourth-level council, and the emperor only retained some ceremonial and religious powers, such as enthronement of princes and nobles, receiving foreign envoys, and sacrificing to the ancestors of heaven and earth. Say something that the common people can understand: If the emperor wants to take two more concubines, he has to ask the members of the fourth-level council if they will approve the budget!

It is precisely because of this that since the establishment of the Second Empire, there has not been a single incident of seizure of succession within the imperial family, and all the kings have lived a long life, except for a few unlucky ones who died young due to epidemics!

The Zhao royal family, who chose to give up power wisely for the sake of longevity and safety, put their energy and enthusiasm into art and culture - they did have a talent for this, Emperor Huizong in the middle of the First Empire, who invented the thin gold body known to everyone, and later in the era of the Republican Revolution, there was a Zhao Mengfu Zhao Da calligrapher, and his characters were also a thousand words.

Under the influence of hundreds of years, the Zhao royal family can be said to be the family with the highest appreciation of Chinese art today, and they use their huge prestige in the Bianjing social circle - although for those who really understand politics, they are just some clay carvings and wood sculptures in temples, but for laymen, it is really a bodhisattva - organized a lot of small circles of "not talking about state affairs, only talking about Fengyue", which includes rich giants from all over the world, as well as politicians who are temporarily frustrated in the sea, and of course, some women who make a living from it.

Scholar Qian and Hedong Junliu met at a Fengyue meeting organized by the royal family. At that time, as the leader of the opposition party in the fourth-level parliament, Qian was depressed because of the betrayal of the alliance and the sniping of political enemies, and happened to meet Liu Rushi from Qinhuai - Liu Ru was just turning 20 at that time, and was sad and lonely because of the unsuccessful pursuit of Chen Zilong, a well-known generation of words in China, so he chose to leave Jiangnan sadly for a while and came to Bianjing to find new true love. As a result, Mr. Qian came and went, and Mr. Qian pressed the begonia with a pear tree, and finally hugged the beauty, which became a beautiful talk in the Bianjing literary circle.

The current Bachelor Qian still maintains a high reputation, and only comments on the world's articles with beauties on the Qianyun Tower all day long, joking at heroes from all walks of life, and claiming to be "only talking about Fengyue, not about state affairs; Only the problem, no matter the method; I only see young people, but I don't see my peers. The "three noes" spread out, and some people shouted, "Qingliu misleads the country, and the Donglin Party is all hypocrites!" Some people also praised "the state has the way, then the Shi; If there is no way, you can be involved. ”

But whether it is infamy, or fame all over the world. Mr. Qian and Mr. Liu are a combination of young and old. It is still a banner in Tokyo's literary scene, and many people want to cut it, but they can't.

When Huangyang got off the car to settle the bill, the kind coachman also told them: "There are too many people who come to see Master Qian every day, if you can't catch up, come back here, there is always an empty car to go back." ”

After thanking the warm-hearted driver, the three of them walked along the mountain road to Qianyun Tower. Although Bianliang is an inch of land, it is not difficult to enclose a large piece of land and build a yard with the prestige of Bachelor Qian. When he came, Cheng Qi heard Huang Yang say that even if it is the Zhan Garden near the Confucius Temple in Jiangning Mansion, I am afraid that it is not as grand as the "red bean garden" that Master Qian came from in Bianjing.

The red bean orchard was built on the mountain, and when it was still dozens of steps away from the mountain gate, the three of them saw that dozens of young talents were already queuing up at the door, and their clothes seemed to be reading people. Huang Yang stepped forward to say hello, and sure enough, all the new scholars from the university parks came to visit the seniors of the literary world and the leaders of Donglin this year.

When Cheng Qi saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in vain: "They are all great talents, they don't study hard at the moment, but spend their time visiting an old man who is mentally unhealthy, it's really unfortunate for the country and the nation!" ”

He said it to himself, not noticing that the eyes of the people around him seemed to be burning with hatred......
