Chapter 102: Peach Blossom Temple
"Brother Bohu, how are you doing lately?"
At the banquet, several people did not have too much politeness, and after touching a few glasses of wine, Lord Xiahou said to Tang Bohu with a smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hey...... let the adults laugh, since Xiaomin was innocently implicated in the imperial examination case, Xiaomin has also broken off the road of official career."
Tang Bohu pondered for a long time, raised a glass of wine in his hand, drank it all, and then said with some decadence.
Lewen didn't expect that the dashing and carefree Jiangnan genius in the TV series is now so melancholy and frustrated, it is really impermanent, and the will of heaven is unpredictable.
"Oh...... if Brother Bohu doesn't dislike it, why don't you be a staff member of this mansion?"
Seeing Tang Bohu's melancholy look, Lord Xiahou didn't have a shelf at all, picked up the wine jug and poured the wine glass that Tang Bohu had just drunk full of salvation, and said with sincerity.
When Tang Bohu heard that Lord Xiahou intended to win him over, his expression was slightly stunned, in fact, he was invited by Lord Xiahou this time, and he already roughly knew Lord Xiahou's intentions.
However, some time ago, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, also intended to invite him to serve in the Ning Wangfu, and he was still hesitating whether to go.
In fact, Tang Bohu didn't want to work hard for anyone at all, after the imperial examination leaked the case, he had seen through the world, drinking and visiting the Qinglou every day, painting and selling for money when he had no money, so he was at ease.
However, you must know that the sense of engaging in art is more keen, and it is beyond the ability of people to appreciate it in the same era, so most of them are not understood and sought after by people at that time, and when the painter's paintings are understood and received, it generally takes a long time, and the painter has passed away.
The beauty lies in discovering that the painter's paintings are the same, and there must be a process of human understanding of anything, and often after a few years, when everyone appreciates the artistic elements in it, the writer will hang up long ago.
When he died, the number of his works was fixed, and the smaller the number of valuable things, the higher the collection value.
There are some painters who are more fortunate to have their paintings appreciated during their lifetime, and when his paintings are gone, the price should rise because they are not reproducible, which can also be explained by the law of value, when the supply is less than the demand, the price rises, and the price is scarce.
And Tang Bohu was well-known during his lifetime, but the calligraphy and paintings he made were not very valuable, and they had to wait until he died, but everyone was dead, so why do you need money......
Therefore, although Tang Bohu was famous during his lifetime, he still has to worry about his livelihood every day like ordinary people.
It's good now, not only Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao wants to win him over, but Xiahou Yunfei also wants to win him over, which makes him don't know what to do.
It is said that they are all forced for the silver anyway, driven by others, as long as they are not stupid, they are naturally the subordinates of King Ning.
But Tang Bohu knew that this King of Ning, Zhu Chenhao, had always had ill intentions, and if he became King Ning's subordinate, he might not be a good choice.
And why did this Xiahou Yunfei want to win him over, but he didn't know what Xiahou Yunfei's purpose was.
"Lord Xiahou's good intentions, Xiaomin is deeply flattered, but can you allow Xiaomin to think about it for a few days after returning home, and then reply?"
Tang Bohu didn't know how to reply for a while, so he postponed it euphemistically.
"Well, that's fine, but Brother Bohu must think about it! Hehe......"
Lord Xiahou actually knew that Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao intended to win over Tang Bohu, and originally thought that Tang Bohu would politely refuse him, but he didn't expect Tang Bohu to reply like this, which made his face show a hint of joy.
Tang Bohu was half co-opted by Xiahou Yunfei, and if he was half threatening, he was also a lot more restrained at the banquet, and it didn't take long for him to get up and say goodbye.
At the banquet, he didn't say anything to Tang Bohu all the time, just exchanged a few polite words.
Now that Le Wen saw that Tang Bohu was leaving, he and Long Chao and Ding Ke'er made eye contacts, and then they also got up with Xiahou Yunfei to say goodbye.
Originally, Lord Xiahou wanted to keep the three of them in the mansion for a few more days, but seeing that the three of them had no intention of staying, he didn't want to say anything, so he beckoned his subordinates to send them out of the mansion.
"Tang Jieyuan, please go slowly, I will admire Tang Jieyuan's name for a long time, I wonder if I can talk to Tang Jieyuan in the next place?" Lewen handed the white horse to Ding Ke'er and walked towards Tang Bohu alone.
"Oh, it's Lord Le, Xiaomin is just a cloth cloth, adults will ask if they have something, and they don't have to be polite to Xiaomin."
Who called him in the back after Tang Bohu, looking back, it turned out to be Lewen, he only knew that Lewen was also Xie Yuan, and he was appointed by the imperial court as the Shanghai County Inspector, the two didn't say much during the banquet, so they didn't know too much, and Lewen was so polite to him, he actually claimed to be below, so he didn't know what Lewen's intentions were.
"Hehe, Tang Jieyuan is too worried, there is nothing to ask in the future, I just want to help Tang Jieyuan." Seeing Tang Bohu looking at him with some doubts, Le Wen smiled faintly.
"Helping Xiaomin? Xiaomin doesn't need the help of adults, so adults don't have to joke with Xiaomin. When Tang Bohu heard Le Wen's words, he thought that Le Wen was a lobbyist sent by Lord Xiahou, and he couldn't help but be wary of Le Wen.
"Tang Jieyuan's authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, such as Ning Wang Zhu ......"
“…… Eh, please forgive the people for being unreasonable, if you have something to say, you might as well go to the Peach Blossom Nunnery to talk about it, there are many people on the road......"
Tang Bohu saw that Lewen actually mentioned Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly reached out to cover Lewen's mouth, and then looked around.
Le Wen knew that as long as King Ning was mentioned, Tang Bohu would definitely invite him to the mansion to talk, and said with a faint smile: "Since this is the case, then the next three people will be bothered." ”
So Lewen and the three followed Tang Bohu to the Peach Blossom Temple.
It is said that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, is frivolous and has no prestige by nature, but he is good at decorating himself with his writing.
He was cunning in Nanchang, greedy for money, and politically ambitious.
He oppressed the people and frantically collected money for the rebellion.
Its means of plundering the people's wealth are unscrupulous: "Seize all the people's mansions attached to the king's mansions, blame the people's money, forcibly seize the children of the fields, raise a group of thieves, and rob the wealth of rivers and lakes, and some people dare not ask." He also "counted fake fires to seize people's land."
What's more, he plundered in large groups of thieves Ling 11, Min 24, Wu 13 and so on, and if there were rebels, he instructed these robbers to slaughter his family, and the people of Nanchang were miserable.
He ostracized dissidents, framed and attacked, and even killed local officials in Jiangxi to clear the way for the rebellion.
He sold his reputation to curry favor with Ming Wuzong in order to cover up his rebellious deeds.
He is rumored to have some literary talent, and is also known as a lover of literature and pleasure, however, he is treacherous and ambitious.
He worked out his strategy step by step, and in the end, he relied on trickery and intrigue rather than military force.
