Fu Xian Jiaxuan made a comeback

Ancient and rare things welcome old friends

Seventy-year-old Chen Zhishan reached the pinnacle of his life and was promoted to Prime Minister Zuo. Thirty-eight-year-old Shi Miyuan was promoted two levels in a row, and he was the secretary of Dali Temple, from the fourth grade. Xue Shuyi and Deng Youlong entered the center and stepped onto the stage.

Standing at the height of history and traveling through time and space, we can see that the Song Dynasty described in this book is a special era. It is economically graceful and rich, but politically bleak and depressed, while most people indulge in singing and dancing in the lakes and mountains, and enjoy themselves, there are always some people of insight who look back at the north, draw their swords and are dazed, and sigh that the clouds can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not seen. It can really be said that the water clouds are vast and the north and the south are lost, and the sunset is thousands of mountains and twilight.

After remarrying, Xin Qiji's disease has changed a lot. Although he couldn't quit drinking, he drank less, rarely got drunk as before, dismissed many concubines, and no longer acted so publicly. On the occasion of mid-spring, meet with two friends, gallop for hundreds of miles, watch the Tenpoan Waterfall, and stay for two days. After returning to the lead mountain scoop spring, I found that the peonies in the garden were blooming brightly, and I called friends to enjoy the peonies and taste the wine.

Just as everyone was pushing the cups and changing the lamps, a group of people came to the front of the house. It turned out that Yang Yuandao, the governor of Shinshu, accompanied the envoy of the Beijing division to announce the edict:

Grant Xin to abandon the disease and two Zhejiang East Road pacification envoys and governors of Shaoxing Mansion.

For this appointment of the imperial court, Xin Qiji was not surprised, he had been living in Lead Mountain for ten years, and he was accustomed to the life of playing in the mountains and rivers and singing about wine, and the competition for power and profit in the officialdom and the false performances were boring, so it was okay if such an official did not do it. Holding the book, sitting in the study, he was about to draft a list of words, and it just so happened that Lu You's letter came.

Lu You told him in the letter: In the past, his professional shrine was a middle doctor, and he raised the Fuzhou Youshen Temple, but in May last year, the imperial court summoned him to Beijing, and authorized him to write a fellow practitioner of the Shilu Institute and a fellow practitioner of the history of the country, and asked him to preside over the revision of the "actual records" of Xiaozong and Guangzong. Considering that he is 78 years old, he is exempted from the court invitation in order to show his old age. In December, Jin Qian was promoted to secretary and supervisor, and he was the fourth product. In the first month of this year, in addition to the Baomo Pavilion to be systematized, he took turns to be on duty in the palace to prepare consultants.

Lu Youyun: Wuguan has always had a difficult career and experienced difficulties, and he didn't want to retreat to the mountains and wilderness when he was desperate to be a eunuch, but he was used by the imperial court and reached the peak of his eunuch. The day after the completion of the record, he wrote to Zhishi, and it was expected that he would return to San'in at the end of May and continue his idle life.

During his stay in Beijing, he had a lot of contact with Han Yanxuan, and he also talked about you and had a good impression of you. In addition to his shallow knowledge and flamboyant behavior, this person has no major shortcomings, not the kind of sinister and cunning person, on the contrary, he has some ancestral style, and his speech and demeanor reveal the will to restore the country's shame, which is quite rare among the important ministers of the court.

Recently, I heard that the imperial court is going to reinstate you, and I hope you will not hesitate to take office in time, this is the only chance to realize your ideals.

While pondering, his wife Xia Shi came in and asked him: When will she leave, she will prepare makeup.

Xin Qiji's face tightened: "No need, I want to resign." ”

When Xia Shi heard this, he was surprised: "If you don't go, why?" Xianggong, you have always wanted to lead thousands of troops and horses back to your hometown in Shandong, and now that you have a chance, you are cowardly again! ”

Xin Qiji said: "I'm old, I can't fight, and I don't have that spirit anymore." ”

Xia Shi put his arms around him and stroked his white beard, "You are older, but I don't know if you have any spirit." ”

Xin Qiji laughed, "Those who know me, Mrs. also." Then you say, should you go? ”

"Of course it's time to go, I heard that you, the official, are the most powerful all the way, and you respond to every call, how majestic you are, and you are high, besides, the emperor is optimistic about you, but you don't go, which makes the emperor unhappy, and you have taken away all your officials, big and small, and you drink the northwest wind."

"Then I'll go, you don't have to go, the road is so far, it's very tiring, it's good to watch the family here."

", why don't you go? Let you marry another little wife over there? I don't enjoy happiness just by suffering, I'm stupid, I don't do it! ”

"Okay, you go, you and I have suffered a lot in the past few years, and you should be allowed to enjoy the blessings of the official's wife. Don't worry, no matter how beautiful or young the little wife is, you don't want it, you will love one. ”

"Count you as an old man with a conscience."

When he arrived at Shaoxing Mansion and just settled down, Lu You sent someone to ask him to talk about Shanyin with a post.

After repeated requests, the imperial court approved Lu You's Taizhong doctor and Weinan County's founding uncle. Soon after returning to his hometown, he heard that Xin Qijian had come to eastern Zhejiang to be handsome, and he was very happy.

In the San'in Old School Nunnery, the two old friends reunited after a long absence, and talked about friendship. Naturally, it is said that he wrote for Hanfu.

Lu You first took out the "Reading the Ancient Spring" that had been written not long ago. The following is the translated vernacular.

On the west side of the mansion of the prince of Taishi and Pingyuan County, there is the foot of Phoenix Mountain, which goes up the mountain, the stone steps are connected, and there are many ravines. Some cliffs resemble creeping sand turtles, and the paths twist and turn like scaring snakes. Huge rocks can be found everywhere, taking on various forms: some suddenly towering, some hanging in the air, some like birds spreading their wings, and some like two people fighting each other. From time to time, you can see precious and gorgeous flowers, as well as fruits; The vines of many years grow vigorously, wrapping around the large trees and shrubs, dense and shady. In the summer, the skin of the bamboo shoots gradually peels off, and in the autumn, all the branches and leaves of the bamboo unfold, and the people who come here are overwhelmed. Climb here and look around. The view is open in front of you, the Qiantang River flows slowly from west to east, and in the west, the beautiful scenery of West Lake is unobstructed. Scenery is naturally formed, and it cannot be done artificially.

This treasure land is called Yue Ancient Spring, in the west of the jade spring, surrounded by green like the sea, and the big trees are shady. And because it is in the easternmost part of the mountain, it is blessed, in the early morning, you can watch the sunrise over the sea, in the dead of night, you can enjoy the bright moon in the sky. This ancient spring is three feet square, and the spring water is unfathomable. It rained for days, but the spring water did not overflow, and the spring water did not dry up after a long drought. When you drink this water, it is as sweet as honey, cold and refreshing, and the water spring is calm and clear, like a mirror, and you can see the face and sideburns clearly. There is no debris on the surface of the water, as if there are often divine objects here to take care of it, screen out any dust and fallen leaves, from morning to night, whether it is sunny or rainy, all so. There is a small pavilion built on the side of the spring, and a water scoop is placed in the pavilion, which can be used to drink water, and can also be washed, of course, it is the most suitable to use it to make tea and brew wine. This is a place that no other famous spring can compare.

Han Gong often wanders and rests here with his guests, scooping the water from the spring for the guests to taste. Among them, I Lu You is the oldest, and I am alone. Han Gong looked at me and said happily: "Isn't it a good thing for you to write about this spring for me, so that future generations will know that we people have played here." "I saw that on the rock next to the spring, there are words inscribed by Tang Kaicheng's five-year Taoist priest Zhuge Jianyuan in the eight-point book, it turns out that this spring has been silent for more than 400 years, and now it was finally discovered and excavated by Han Gongnai. And call it "reading the ancients", probably the name used by the king of Xianzhong Xian for the building, and the ancient spring can only be called a bosom friend so far.

After I returned to my hometown, I was invited by Han Gong, and I felt really good when I saw this spring, and I traveled with the kings of the Tao, in addition to excitement, there was also a sense of shame. Fortunately, wearing coarse cloth clothes, you can visit this mountain in the morning and evening, enjoy the beautiful scenery with Han Gong, drink spring water, and write with a clumsy pen.

After Xin Qijian read it, he praised it: "Brother Wuguan's poetry and writing are unique in the world, and Jiaxuan is beyond the reach of the dust." ”

Lu You said: "Brother Jiaxuan, you don't have to be so humble, who can match the words you fill in today?" ”

Xin Qiji whispered: "I see, your old school is a little dilapidated, do you want my brother to repair it for you?" ”

Lu You replied: "Thank you, brother, I, Lu Mou, have never been heavy on money, and the house can be sheltered from the wind and rain, so there is no need to work hard for this." ”

Brother Wuguan, I would like to ask you a few questions.

But it doesn't hurt to ask, I will know everything.
