In this world, how many people can endure loneliness?

Xu Yuanwen was painting at the table, and Xiong Cilu stood on the side and tried his best to settle his mind, otherwise he would be laughed at by Zhuangyuanlang.

Because the body bow was painting there, and the hat was in the way, Xu Wenyuan took off the official hat, revealing his bare head. This move is not in line with the court, but no one in the cabinet has asked about it now, and who would say that the champion is not in place.

Seeing that the ink dust in the inkstone was about to dry, Xiong Cilu took the ink cake and grinded it for Xu Yuanwen. After the ink cake melted, Xiong Cixu felt it and sighed: "The ink cake is a treasure when it is used, but it is black charcoal when it is not used, and no one should be a treasure." ”

Xiong Cixu's implication naturally means that as soon as Emperor Daxing leaves, the Manchurian princes and ministers who are auxiliary to the government will immediately put the cabinet on the shelf, so that he has no talent and ambition, but he can only do nothing here all day long, wasting time in vain.

"Why should you care about Jingxiu, the first emperor had a lot of wills during his lifetime, and the auxiliary princes did not dare not follow the four words of the Manchu and Han families. At present, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the first priority of the imperial court is still war, and the auxiliary government and the princes cannot take power. Besides, the emperor is old after all, let's wait, it's useless to be anxious. ”

Although Xu Yuanwen is younger than Xiong Cixu, he is more open than Xiong Cixu, knowing that no matter how anxious they are, the emperor is only eight years old, and the power of the court is controlled by the auxiliary minister. And the four auxiliary ministers are all from Manchuria, so if they want to get ahead, they have to wait until the emperor is in power.

Xiong Cixu smiled bitterly, turned the matter away, and asked instead: "Gongsu, has there been a letter from my hometown, I heard that the thief Xiucai studied Li Chuang in Jiangnan, which made the heavens angry and resentful, you are the champion of the Qing Dynasty, and the thief Xiucai is afraid that he will not let go of your family." I heard that Ye Fang's flower exploration was all called the thief Xiucai to get rid of it, just because his Ye family owed a penny in taxes. This is ridiculous! "Gongsu" is Xu Yuanwen's epigraph, which was taken by his uncle Gu Yanwu.

Xu Yuanwen put down his pen and said: "Since the fall of Jiangnan, I have interrupted the news with my family, and I don't know what the situation at home is. ”

Xu Yuanwen's words are half-true and half-false, after the Taiping Army occupied Jiangnan, his hometown in Kunshan had sent him a letter, and there were also Kunshan gentry who fled north before Zhengdan to pass a letter for the Xu family, so Xu Yuanwen actually knew about his hometown. However, for some reason, Xu Yuanwen didn't tell his friends the truth. Moreover, there was one thing he did not tell Xiong Cixu, that is, just a few days ago, a merchant from Shandong came to his residence in the capital, and this merchant brought him a letter from his uncle Gu Yanwu.

"The thief Xiucai is perverse, and he regards the reader as an ant, which is inferior to Wu Sangui."

Xiong Cixu's words are really emotional, because he is a native of Hanyang Mansion, Huguang. Although Huguang had been occupied by the Ming army, it was divided into two provinces, Hubei and Hunan. Hunan was occupied by the Taiping army, while Hubei was occupied by the loyal battalion. On the surface, the communication and business routes between Huguang and the north were cut off, but secretly, all kinds of news continued to gather in the Huguang Hall in the capital. From there, Xiong Cixu heard a lot of bad news, although Hanyang was occupied by the loyal camp, but Xiong Cixu still put what happened in his hometown on the head of the thief Xiucai. Because if it weren't for the thief Xiucai, how would Huguang be like this.

Xu Yuanwen suddenly asked Xiong Cixu: "Is Brother Cheng still in touch with you?" ”

Xiong Cilu was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No." He sighed again: "Brother Cheng is too stubborn, he refused to listen to your and me's persuasion that day, and insisted on going to the thief to show his talents, and now he doesn't know where he is." The war is in chaos, and I'm really worried about what will happen to him. ”

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and he can't force them. Let's just say that the person who lifted the person to Jackie Chan, when the officials were elected, no one dared to go, he took the initiative to go. Originally, everyone thought that he would die in office, but they didn't want him to meet a nobleman. Lord Kuenbu, the right governor of Jiangnan, admired him very much, and asked him for the post of prefect of Lujiang. ”

"Lujiang Prefect?" Xiong Ci was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Yu Chengchan is just a person who doesn't lift the first person." ”

"Heroes don't ask where they come from."

Xu Yuanwen chuckled, picked up the pen and continued to paint. As soon as he drew a little, the door opened, and he saw Prince Kang Jieshu stepping in. Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cixu were busy stepping forward to salute, Jie Shu saw the pen in Xu Yuanwen's hand and the painting on the table, and hurriedly said: "Don't be polite, this king is also passing by, just take a look." ”

Jieshu is the prince, how dare Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cixu trust it, or step forward and kneel down to say goodbye to Jieshu. When kneeling, Xiong Cilu stabbed Xu Yuanwen lightly, and the latter realized that he was not wearing his official hat, so he hurriedly took it and put it on. Jie Shu raised his hand to signal the two of them to get up, approached the table to carefully take care of Xu Yuanwen's painting, and said with emotion: "When the first emperor was in the time, he persuaded to learn from Confucianism, and he loved and used his talents to be the society, but he was privately ridiculed by some people in the Eight Banners as specializing in recruiting Han Nanshi. Only this Hanlin is worth the house, and it will take a lot of trouble, not to mention others! Now that the first emperor is gone, this cabinet will be deserted so far, and it is still the king's. When King Ming'er entered the palace and saw the Empress Dowager, he couldn't let the first emperor's hard work be ruined like this. ”

What Jie Shu said, Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cixu only dared to listen, but they didn't dare to talk at will, especially Jie Shu's words were vaguely dissatisfied with the auxiliary minister.

Jie Shu said this, and he also felt it for a while, and he woke up after saying more, and some words were not something that these two Han Hanlin could hear.

"Oh, by the way, this king almost forgot to get down to business."

Jie Shu sat down and said one thing to Xu Yuanwen, but he wanted him to accept a disciple.

"Sex virtue this child is very smart, young age can recite poems right, this king looks very like, his father Nalan Mingzhu and this king are also very good, now Mingzhu is sent by the first emperor outside, so this king wants to find a master for sex virtue. Come to think of it, in the whole world, only you, the champion, are the most suitable teacher for the child of sexuality. ”

Prince Kang personally mentioned this matter, and Xu Yuanwen had also heard of the little prince in Nalan Mansion, so he agreed to this matter. Jie Shu was very happy, and told Xu Yuanwen and Xiong Cixu about something that had nothing to do with the political and military situation of the court, and then got up and left.

After Jieshu left, Xiong Cilu congratulated Xu Yuanwen, congratulated him on accepting a good student, and also climbed the line of Prince Kang. Although the will of the first emperor was to assist the four ministers together, the weight of Jieshu, the prince of Manchuria, was not light. I can't say it, I don't have to wait for the emperor to be in power, Xu Yuanwen can take a big step forward in his career.

The congratulations of his friends did not make Xu Yuanwen happy, but even more depressed, because what his uncle asked him to do was really difficult for him.
