Huangfu Duanming found Shen Yun in a secluded house in the back office.

The weather is hot and the window sash is ajar. A young man in a sweatshirt and a book with a hairy edge in his hand was reading with relish. Even if Huangfu Duanming came closer, Shen Yun didn't notice it. It seems that he and the book, and the bookcase, have become a small world.

In this world, there is no heat of the outside world, there is no hustle and bustle of the outside world, there are only words and people.

Even Huangfu Duanming couldn't bear to break the silence, so much so that he stopped the messenger who was about to pass the message. After retiring from his entourage, Huangfu Duanming quietly watched Shen Yun suddenly pick up the pen and keep writing on the paper on the desk. The movement of the interior instantly forms an eerie harmony with the silence of the outside.

It took more than half an hour for Shen Yun to put down his pen. It seems that out of the corner of his eye, he saw half a shadow of someone on the case, raised his head, and just met the bright gaze of the emperor. Shen Yun didn't know Huangfu Duanming, and thought that the officials of the Dali Temple in Beijing were coming, so he got up and made a little guilty: "But you want to arrest Shen Yun and return to Beijing for trial?" Secluded and idle, please forgive me. ”

Huangfu Duanming originally planned to say hello to Shen Yun, but he didn't want to hear a sentence about going back to Beijing to be tried, so he was instantly stunned: "Shen Zhixian don't panic, this official is to mention Huangfu Duanming, Shaanxi Road Prison, I came here today, I just want to have a good chat with you." “

Huangfu's kind attitude made Shen Yun stunned for a moment, and then bowed down: "In this case, please allow the officials to dress neatly." Seeing that Huangfu nodded in agreement, Shen Yun walked into the inner room, changed his clothes, and then walked out.

If it is really a person who relies on clothes and horses and saddles, and changes into an official uniform, he is not like a cold window student like before.

After seeing the ceremony, Huangfu nodded with a smile: "Shen Zhixian is so diligent, but he teaches me to be ashamed." I have long heard of your Shen Chuanlu's name, and when I saw it today, I really lived up to my expectations. But it's so hot that it's hard to be stuffy, and being stuffy in the house is going to be boring. If you and I go out for a walk, find a beautiful scene, and have a feast, it will also dispel the depression in your heart. “

Although he didn't know what Shen Yun had done when he fell to the ground, with Shen Yun's indifferent attitude, Huangfu Duanming felt harmless.

And Shen Yun, who was invited, naturally would not refuse, and bowed again: "It's better to be respectful than to obey." ”

The scenic spots in Anhua County seem to be nothing other than Santai Pavilion. The Han Dynasty Shangshu is the middle platform, the imperial history is the Xiantai, and the confessor is the outer platform, which is collectively called the "three Taiwans". The person who built this pavilion means that the literary style of this place is prosperous, and there are officials in the city who live in the center. Although Gyeongju has not really had a person in Santai for many years, it does not hinder the enthusiasm of the scholars to take the stage.

However, people who have no identity can only look at them from afar.

The Santai Pavilion was built on a large mound in the middle of the city. In terms of height, it is also the highest in the city. From the stage, you can even see people from miles away.

There are pines and cypresses planted by scholars on the mound. The northwest is bitter, and only these two trees can still be seen in winter. The winding road was done at the beginning of the construction of the Santai Pavilion. An inscription under the mound tells you the purpose of doing so.

Huangfu Duanming and Shen Yun stood in front of the stele and watched for a long time, and they were all moved by the mind of the person who wrote this inscription. In the article, as it is said, the bumpy official road is not always smooth. The mountain road winds like this official road. There are certainly hardships along the way, but there are also different scenery when you look at the same place from afar, at different heights.

The article finally warns future generations that they must do things in a down-to-earth manner and be worthy of heaven and earth.

When they saw the name of the author, Huangfu Duanming and Shen Yundeng laughed.

It seems that only Fan Xiwen Gong can write such an article. This visit to Gyeongju was really fruitful. Huangfu Duanming was full of smiles. Reading this article, it seems that Fan Zhongyan gave encouragement in front of him, and instantly dissipated the depression because of his unsatisfactory official position.

And Shen Yun was also impressed: "I knew that there was an inscription written by Fan Gong here, so I should have come to observe it earlier." The harvest of studying in seclusion for more than ten days is not as good as Fan Gong's article. Sure enough, it doesn't work behind closed doors. Shen Yun is here, thank Huangfu Gong. If it weren't for Shen Yun to come here, my heart would be troubled, and I don't know when it will be relieved. ”

Huangfu Duanming smiled: "Since that's the case, then why don't you take the stage here." Stepping on this path, looking at this scene, reciting this text, and practicing it is really a beautiful thing. With that, he laughed and stepped up the steps of the mound.

The steps are paved with bluestone slabs, and almost every one is a foot thick. climbed up one step after another, and when they arrived at Santai, even if Shen Yun was young and strong, he was sweating in this hot day. Huangfu Duanming was naturally no exception, panting and turning to look back, looking at the mound, not to mention more than ten zhang high, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Shen Yun and said with a smile:

"It's no wonder that everyone wants to rise to the top. Look at you and me, if it's straight up and straight down, why do you need to do this. Back and forth, walking several times the road, finally to see the scenery, but I don't think that the time has passed for half an hour. ”

How could Shen Yun not understand what Huangfu Duanming meant. He also saw that this was a person who had great ambitions in his bones, but his career was bumpy, and now he was a little frustrated in his heart.

Shen Yun didn't hate this kind of person, on the contrary, Huangfu Duanming talked to him about the Kuang family's case along the way, and even some serious cases in Anhua County, such as several family treasures. It shows that even if he was frustrated, he did not lose his soul because of this, but worked hard to seek his own government in his position. Such an official is countless times better than the corpse vegetarian meal of some people in the DPRK and China.

Therefore, with the mentality of liberation, Shen Yun said with a smile: "Zen Master Huang Yan once said in the Tang Dynasty that without a cold bone, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms. It is precisely because of these difficulties that we waited on the stage to look into the distance, and we often cherished the trees on the side of the road. Neither one nor the other. Isn't it happy? ”

Huangfu Duanming couldn't know what Shen Yun meant, nodded and smiled: "If that's the case, now I want to look at it from afar, and I can't help but take a look at it first, what those trees I saw before look like when I get to this place." ”

At the same time, a fresh breeze blew. The heat on his body was blown away in an instant.

There were people in the pavilion, but seeing Huangfu Duanming and Shen Yun wearing official clothes, they hurriedly walked out. I didn't want to get closer, but I found that it was Shen Yun. A few old men who had met Shen Yun came up to greet him, which made Shen Yun embarrassed for a while.

"You better sit where you are. The Emperor and I were not in a hurry and came to have a drink. I won't bother you to wait for Yaxing. I see, not far from the pavilion, there is a vacant land, the location is remote, and few people go. Why don't we go there and have a drink? ”

Looking back at Huangfu Duanming, and seeing that he was also smiling, he knew that this matter was feasible.

Nodding to the attendants, they went there first. And Shen Yun introduced the Confucian students in front of him to Huangfu Duanming one by one. If you know something, you will report your name, and if you don't know it, you will also be pulled over and let yourself be introduced.

This made these Confucian students very happy.

Perhaps the emperor's official position did not bring them any practical benefits. However, in the era of underdeveloped communications, even if it was a one-sided relationship, deep friendships could be formed. In the future, even if these people do not go well in the imperial examination, if they can be a staff member under Huangfu, it will be excellent.

While complimenting Huangfu Duanming, these people were also full of gratitude to Shen Yun.

Not long after, each other through the name. It seems that the inscription under the mound of Fan Zhong's flooding has opened his mind, and Huangfu Duanming talked and laughed with these Confucian scholars, but there was no shelf. It wasn't until the messenger came to tell them that the place had been arranged, and then they said goodbye to each other.

Shen Yun and Huangfu Duanming began to drink and feast with laughter, but at this time, Li Guifu couldn't be happy at this time.

There is no other reason, although he ordered Yao Ji to arrest Li Xin and others, but in the past few days, the Western Xia soldiers have besieged Dashun City, and if they don't take any measures, they are afraid that they will fall into it together with Yao Ji.

The matter of his unauthorized war has been blamed on Li Xin, even if he lost troops and generals before, it has nothing to do with him. But this time, in the document handed over to the court, it was stated that Yao Ji was sent by him, if Dashun City was broken. It was all his fault.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Guifu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Pacing back and forth in the back office, the more I walked, the hotter my heart became. Even if you eat a few pieces of watermelon, it is difficult to eliminate the heat.

Suddenly, Li Guifu felt a chill on his back. The cold did not make him feel comfortable, but it was extremely cold, and he felt a burning feeling that was more burning than the heat in his heart. Immediately, Li Guifu's eyes turned black and he fell headlong into the back office.

The messenger who heard the sound hurriedly ran in, just in time to see Li Guifu fall to the ground, and in a panic, he immediately let out a miserable scream: "Oh no, Fuzun has fainted, come quickly." ”

In an instant, the government was like an explosion. The people who heard the news rushed over and blocked the front of the main hall of the back office.

And Wu Tongju, who was sitting in the room not far away, showed a smile at this time. As early as when Dashun City was besieged, Wu Tongju had the heart to watch Li Guifu's good show. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. laughed a few times, then pretended to look sad and hurriedly walked out of the duty room.

Seeing that everyone was still surrounding in front of the main hall, Wu Tongju shouted: "What are you doing here, don't get out of the way, and let the servants carry Li Zhizhou to the house." Go out a few of you, and call for the best healers in the city. Remember, don't make a noise at this time, and don't let people know that Li Zhizhou is sick, so as not to cause panic. ”

Arranged and orderly.

The public subconsciously regarded Wu Tongju as the master of the government at this time, and they obeyed his orders one after another, and hugged Li Guifu back to the room. Wipe the sweat of the sweat, shake the fan of the fan, it's not lively.
