Chapter 68: Ambition

Li Xin'er said: "The documents kept by Luo Yimen record the investigation of this matter: after Xie Kun lost his position, Li Shizhi supported him and asked him to be a guest of the curtain to clarify his reputation everywhere; In the end, it was found that most of those scandals were fabricated, and someone deliberately made Xie Kun stink. Xie Kun was not depressed before he died, on the contrary, he lived a very leisurely life, and said that next year's Pear Blossom Poetry Club would write a more powerful poem to fight back. Under such circumstances, Xie Kun would never commit suicide. ”

Wang Yuan was shocked and said, "Who killed him?" ”

Li Xin'er shook her head slightly and said: "No one knows, because this case was condemned as suicide, and no one investigated the reason behind it." In the first year of Tianbao, I was still young, and I still lived in the plum garden with my master, so I didn't know anything about this matter, and if I hadn't read Luo Yimen's file in the past few days, I wouldn't have known anything about this matter. I don't know if the master has an impression of this matter? ”

Gongsun Lan, who was sitting and listening, frowned and said: "I heard about Xie Kun's death, when I was in the palace, this Xie Kun was a frequent visitor to His Majesty's garden, and he was very open-minded and cheerful, and he was very surprised to hear that he died, but in the first year of Tianbao, we just escaped from the palace and lived in seclusion here, worried about the exposure of our whereabouts, and we didn't dare to pay too much attention to external affairs." ”

Li Xin'er said: "Xie Kun is also a famous man in Chang'an, and the master also said that this person is an open-minded and cheerful person, how could such a person commit suicide?" Erlang, you should also know that there is a big secret here. ”

Wang Yuan looked at Li Xin'er blankly, and he vaguely understood what Li Xin'er meant.

Li Xin'er's red lips moved and continued: "In the second year of Tianbao, Zhao Qinglin, a famous scholar in Luoyang who participated in the Pear Blossom Poetry Club, was a thief in the house and was slashed seven times to death. In the third year of Tianbao, Guo Qun, a famous scholar in Chang'an, was caught in a fire at home after participating in the Pear Blossom Poetry Club, and his wife and children did not escape. Tianbao participated in the Pear Blossom Poetry Club for four years, and Chen Wei, the new editor of the Hanlin Academy, fell off a horse and died during an outing outside the city on the Mid-Autumn Festival...... These people are all famous poets, and they all suffered after participating in the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference at the invitation of Li Shizhi. ”

Wang Yuan's eyes widened, and a layer of fine sweat slowly oozed from his forehead, even if he was sluggish, he understood the subtext that Li Xin'er was going to say.

"Twelve mothers mean that all these people were murdered? But anyone who is invited by Li Shizhi to participate in the Pear Blossom Poetry Club and has outstanding literary talent will have an accident afterwards, or the family will suffer, or they will die for no reason? Are you saying that all this was ordered by Li Linfu? ”

Li Xin'er said softly: "The slave can't assert it, but I'm afraid that's the case, as long as you are not blind or deaf, you can see that this series of tragic encounters with celebrities and celebrities who participated in the Pear Blossom Poetry Club is not a coincidence." Although the case is closed, it is difficult to hide the suspicions. Luo Yimen's files generally do not record civil cases, and people die every day in Chang'an City. But why are several cases about the Ewha Poetry Club recorded and the suspicious points are highlighted? Apparently for a reason. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "I understand, I am afraid that these cases are all secretly ordered by Li Linfu, Li Linfu is killing chickens and monkeys by doing this, and warns everyone not to get together with Li Shizhi, let alone embarrass Li Linfu's side by being in the limelight at the Pear Blossom Poetry Meeting." ”

"Erlang, you can understand it, you should also understand why the dignified Zuo Xiang remembered you just because he read one of your poems in the West Market, and specially sent someone to invite you to participate in the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference for him. I don't believe that when you accepted the invitation, you didn't have any questions in your heart, why you, a Fang of Yong'an Fang, actually received the favor of the left minister. ”

Wang Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, at that time, I did have a feeling that gold ingots were falling from the sky, and I couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen." I thought that Corporal Li Shizhi's courtesy was only useful regardless of the level of his voice. Now that I think about it, I couldn't have been more wrong. ”

Li Xin'er sighed: "Corporal Lixian naturally has people, but it is definitely not Li Shizhi, the officials and celebrities who participated in the Pear Blossom Poetry Club with him have suffered accidents one after another, has he ever stood up for them?" With such an obvious suspicion, could he have delved into this matter? This shows that he only cares about competing with Li Linfu at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference, but he ignores the safety of the people who participate in the poetry meeting, and does not protect him at all, and this person is a first-class stupid and selfish person. On the outside, he competes for power with Li Linfu, and he seems to be upright, but in fact, he is a very timid person. It is precisely because of this that even if Li Linfu is so arrogant and arbitrary, there are still very few people in the DPRK who support Li Shizhi, most of them because they disdain Li Shizhi's character. ”

Wang Yuan exhaled, gritted his teeth and said: "So no one wants to stand on his side to participate in the poetry meeting, so he shifted his eyes from the famous people of Chang'an to the people, so he cast a wide net and found some literati who did not know the details to express the meaning of Corporal Lixian, but in fact, he pushed them to the fire pit, but he didn't even say a word." And I was a fish in his wide net, and I didn't know it when I fell into the net, and I thought it was an opportunity. ”

Wang Yuan's heart was full of anger, he didn't expect that Li Shizhi, a humble gentleman and corporal Lixian, would pretend to be completely disregarding the safety of the people who participated in the poetry meeting, and deceived everyone to participate in the poetry meeting. This man is a true hypocrite.

Li Xin'er comforted in a low voice: "Erlang is angry, the matter has come to this, it is useless for you to be angry." ”

Wang Yuan looked at Gongsun Lan and said: "I came to the plum garden that day, you warned me, but unfortunately I didn't listen to your warning, and now I finally reap the consequences."

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "If you have gains, you must lose, you have to suffer such consequences when you get the opportunity." It's just that I didn't know these things at the time, and if Xin'er hadn't said it today, even I wouldn't have known about these things. The current situation is not to complain about the sky, but to solve the current problems, and may have relied on Li Shizhi, but now it seems that Li Shizhi is also unreliable. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's very true, things are already so bad, how bad can they be?" At least now I know this information, it's better than not knowing how to die. Let go of Li Shizhi and don't talk about it, at least he is not my enemy, and I still need to be with him at present, and I don't have to tear my face with him. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said: "Being able to bend and stretch is a big husband, and it is the best policy to forbear for the time being, so there is no need to be discouraged." There are many things in this world that make people helpless and frustrating, but so what? There may not be no solution, and many things are man-made. ”

Wang Yuan said gratefully: "Thank you for your comfort, I'm not a person who is easily discouraged, what about big people?" Can we control the fate of our little people at will? But I don't believe it. Taibai said well: I am born to be useful, my daughter will come back when she is gone, Taibai can also despise the powerful, although I am not too white, but I also have a warm blood and grievance. They see me as a mustard, and one day I will make them pay for today's trip, and they will make them regret playing with me like this, I swear by this. ”

When Wang Yuan said these words, his fists clenched and his chest was raised, and his body exuded a fierce aura, Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er were surprised, but they didn't feel that Wang Yuan's words were too confident and exaggerated, but they had a feeling of firmly believing that this person's words were true.

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "That's right, it's a big deal, 'life is not satisfactory in the world, and tomorrow it will be distributed to make a flat boat." 'Go, if you don't want to stay in the capital, you can leave the capital away from the land of right and wrong, I heard that the spring solstice in the south, just the plum garden can no longer live, maybe my master and apprentice can go to the south with you, the world is still afraid that there is no place to stay? ”

Wang Yuan looked at Gongsun Lan in surprise, the two poems she just said were the finale of her at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference, obviously Gongsun Lan was also extremely concerned about herself, and she could say these two lines of poetry casually. And Gongsun Lan's words seemed to invite herself to wander the world with her, looking at the two peerless faces in front of her, thinking about if she could accompany them away from the land of right and wrong in the capital and explore the world, Wang Yuan's heart was hot.

However, this fiery mood quickly calmed down, although he can escape everything in front of him, but I am afraid that I will have to live a life of hiding and hiding for the rest of my life, I have traveled back from more than a thousand years ago, is it to live a life of hiding and hiding without any achievements? Wang Yuan would never allow himself to do this.

"I can't go, Twelve Niang can't go, I can't run away, otherwise I won't achieve anything in my life. Twelve mothers also have to avenge her parents, there must always be a belief in life to stick to the future, if we all choose to give up, there will be a day of regret. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded lightly and said: "I didn't expect you to have such a strong character, but it was beyond my expectations, it seems that you have not given up on the current situation, can you tell me what you have in mind to deal with it?" ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "There is no way to deal with it, but I think we can avoid this catastrophe today, and we know the true face of Li Shizhi, this is the will of heaven." Besides, I still have questions about this matter today, and I want to explore it with the two of you. But now I really want to take a sip of the sake that Aunt Gongsun gave me that day, but it is not a wine that makes me sad, but a strong journey with wine, for the upcoming difficult road to self-help. ”
