Liu Nian was irritable, and suddenly the house slave came to report: "Second son, Yixing Zhou Chang asks to see!" ”

Liu Nian frowned: Zhou Chang? What is this guy doing? Lao Tzu has never been associated with these sanctimonious sour and rotten scholars, he took the initiative to come to the door, could it be related to Kong Sheng?

Although Liu Nian has also studied for a few years, he can barely be regarded as half a scholar, but people are grouped by clusters, and he is still a bureaucrat after all, and he rarely interacts with the scholars in the city on weekdays, and has no deep contacts.

Zhou Changqi, he understands. The descendants of the Zhou family of the Yixing family, the eldest grandson of the head of the Zhou family, and the son of the second generation of the head of the family, may inherit the family business of the Zhou family in the future, go to Jiangning County to study, and gradually become famous, and is already the leader of the young scholar group in the city.

Although the Yixing Zhou clan is not a national gate valve, it is a deep-rooted clan entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Wuxing Shen clan is known as the second hao of Jiangdong. Born in a famous family and accomplished in learning, Zhou Chang's status among the Jiangnan scholars can be imagined.

But Zhou Chang's reputation was ruthlessly suppressed because of Kong Sheng's birth at the Wangjianglou Poetry Conference, and he lost to Kong Sheng in his best poems, allowing Kong Sheng to rise on his shoulders and become an insoluble hatred in Zhou Chang's heart.

If you don't hate it, you swear not to be a person! After leaving Wangjiang Tower in embarrassment, Zhou Changcone stood alone by the river and secretly made an oath.

From a certain point of view, Zhou Chang's hatred for Kong Sheng is far beyond Liu Nian's comparison.

Liu Nian was beaten by Kong Sheng at most, losing the face of the boss in the ya, and taking revenge on Kong Sheng was the biggest pleasure in life; But in Zhou Chang's eyes, he was robbed of his reputation as the first genius by Kong Sheng, the identity of the son-in-law of the Yang family, the stunning beauty at his fingertips, and the future of his official fortune that was recommended in the future, all of which can be compared with the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife.

Otherwise, he would not take the initiative to go to the door of Liu's house, and he would not disdain to be in the company of Liu Nian.

Liu Nian groaned for a moment and waved his hand: "Let him in." Meng Chao, a few of you should disperse first. ”

Meng Chao and the others arched their hands with some excitement and dispersed one after another. Liu Nian thought about it, and in order to show his demeanor as an official eunuch, he deliberately stood in front of the living room with a straight posture to greet Zhou Chang.

"Zhou Chang has seen Liu Gongzi!" Zhou Chang made a salute from afar.

"Brother Zhou is here, Liu's mansion is shining, please come in!" Liu Nian laughed and returned the salute, and turned sideways to let the guest go.

The two evil young men and scholars in the ya, who were originally unable to fight with each other and were almost difficult to intersect, each with their own hearts and scheming, hypocritically polite, walked into the living room of the Liu family side by side.

No one knew what they were plotting in private, but an hour later, the people in Liu's mansion saw Liu Nian uncharacteristically and affectionately send Zhou Chang out of the door, the two said goodbye, and Liu Nian, who returned to the mansion, let out bursts of unbridled laughter, which made the house slaves and maids feel chills, and they didn't know what their little ancestor was going to do.

……

After these three days, Sima Chengzhen's master and apprentice will leave Jiangning and rush to Guanluo, this is Kong Sheng's last chance to ask Sima Chengzhen for advice in person, he naturally seizes all the time, and does not dare to waste the slightest.

For Kong Sheng's understanding and diligence, Sima Chengzhen was very pleased. He is over 100 years old, has experienced a long period of vicissitudes, and has read countless people in his life, he believes that his vision is not wrong, and even Jiang Ning accepted Kong Sheng as a layman on a whim, this may be a seed he planted for the people of the world.

Morning.

Outside the city gates, beside the official road.

"Kong Sheng, Poor Dao will leave Jiangning today, and teach you the way of qi and power and the art of sword dance for the teacher, and you will definitely succeed in your daily logistics practice. You and I will say goodbye here, whether we will meet in the future depends on fate. Sima Chengzhen smiled indifferently and waved his hand: "The troubled times are beginning to appear, the world is difficult, fate is like chess, you can do it yourself!" ”

Kong Sheng was silent for a moment, then fell to the ground.

In any case, Sima Chengzhen was a very key and important enlightener in the course of his life, gifting Xiao Jian and imparting mastery without any intention. Such kindness and righteousness are worthy of his great respect.

Atai hurriedly helped Kong Sheng up, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Senior brother, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to meet, I hope you take care of yourself, if it is in the future...... You can come to Tiantai Yuxiao Peak, and the viewer will be able to protect you thoroughly. ”

Atai is also sincere. What he meant was nothing more than saying that if Kong Sheng couldn't get along in the future and was cornered, he could go to the rooftop to protect himself. If you can't make a career or something, it's always okay to live in troubled times, right? In fact, in Atai's view, the breeze and bright moon live in seclusion in the deep mountains to practice martial arts, how can it not be another leisurely way to live?

Although Atai's voice is small, how can he escape Sima Chengzhen's keen hearing? But Sima Chengzhen pretended not to know, but he secretly sighed in his heart: Kong Sheng, Kong Sheng, Poor Dao is over 100 years old, and there are not many days to come, even if Poor Dao intends to shelter, but he is also powerless.

Kong Sheng gave Ah Tai another grateful glance.

Immediately, Kong Sheng took out a document seal from his arms and handed it over respectfully: "Kong Sheng is brave, there is a seal, please bring it to Guo Fenyang, please Guo Fenyang to pass it on to the heavens!" ”

Sima Chengzhen was a little surprised, but he still took it, opened it, and his face suddenly became solemn: "Please all Jinling table?" ”

Sima Chengzhen read it carefully, and when he finished reading Kong Sheng's thousand-word seal, he couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head: "Kong Sheng, your idea is extremely bold and abrupt, which can be called shocking to the world. The literary brilliance of your seal is remarkable, and the enthusiasm for worrying about the country and the people is obvious, but the idea of inviting the capital of Jinling is too illusory and not feasible, and Poor Dao thinks that if such a seal is played, the court and the Son of Heaven will definitely laugh at it! ”

Kong Sheng took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Teacher, at present, it is not yet known when the traitor will be pacified, why don't the imperial court move south to the south of the Yangtze River to accumulate strength and wait for the resurgence of Dongshan, in time, the Tang Dynasty will surely restore its glory!" ”

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband; The rise and fall of the country, the meat eaters plot. Kong Sheng has the courage to write a book, whether he succeeds or not, he will do his best for Datang Society! ”

This seal was written by the great poet Li Bai more than a year later in "Inviting the Capital of Jinling for the Song Dynasty", which was slightly modified by Kong Sheng. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to present this article to the Tang Dynasty in advance in his own name and through Sima Chengzhen, calling on Emperor Suzong to temporarily move the capital to Jinling and command the world in Jiangnan, which was less damaged.

Kong Sheng didn't know that such an idea was too nihilistic and a little exaggerated, and it would not be recognized by the imperial court at all, and the possibility of moving the capital was almost zero. He knows this very well, and doing it on purpose is nothing more than a pretense for promotion.

Through this seal, he wants to leave a deep impression on Guo Ziyi, the newly enthroned Emperor Li Heng, and the people of the world, and lay the final paving for him to get out of the predicament in the south of the Yangtze River and go to the world in the future.

"The rise and fall of a good world is the responsibility of the husband; The rise and fall of the country, the meat eaters plot. Sima Chengzhen's eyes lit up, stared deeply at Kong Sheng and nodded: "Kong Sheng, just say this to you, Poor Dao can personally serve you on the table!" However, you should not have too much hope, moving the capital to Jiangnan is a matter of great importance, and it is by no means a simple matter. ”

"This is the last thing Poor Dao can do for you, you can do it yourself!" Sima Chengzhen glanced at Kong Sheng with a smile, and then floated away.

Atai also patted Kong Sheng on the shoulder and rushed up.

Kong Sheng's face turned red, and he bowed deeply in the direction of Sima Chengzhen's master and apprentice's departure. He knew that Sima Chengzhen must have penetrated his true intentions, and his words before leaving were a promise and a warning. Opportunistic methods, after all, are not the right way, and it is okay to use them once, but if they are often used, they will reduce their character.

He slowly got up, straightened his back, and looked up at the scorching sun.

Everything that needs to be done has been done, and what he needs next is to hone his body and secretly continue to strength, waiting for the opportunity to come. He believes that day will not be too far away.
