Chapter 397: Fame and Freedom Are Valuable

Xing'an Bo Mansion now lives in two Qing guest husbands, and there is another Shen girl in the first two days, and there are naturally fewer and fewer idle subordinates. And everyone knew the identity of that Miss Shen, thinking that there would be such a new housewife in the house soon, so naturally there were countless people who wanted to be courteous in front of them, so Xu Jing and Tang Yin, who lived in a small courtyard, heard the rumors.

"I don't know when I'll be able to drink a cup of wine from Lord Xu!"

Xu Jing couldn't change his habits at the beginning, and he is still a talkative Lord Xu, and Tang Yin followed him. At this moment, Tang Yin was not embarrassed, but suddenly thought about it: "Recently, Lord Xu rarely asks us to write any plays...... If you want me to say, those vulgar talented and beautiful people in the market are far less wonderful than this one, if it can be written, it must be a popular drama! ”

Xu Jing was startled, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Bohu, your idea is too crazy!" Which famous family doesn't keep their own affairs secret, and who likes their own affairs to be talked about among the people? Not to mention the famous, even the big families in the countryside who are a little famous, and they can't wait to hide themselves in the shadows, after all, the folk rumors are the most unstoppable, a little sesame the size of a thing can spread the sky, where can you still stand up to you to write a play to sing? ”

As soon as the words fell, a laugh came from outside: "It's not impossible to write a play, but if Brother Bohu really wants to, I would like to see Tang Bohu and autumn fragrance!" ”

With this voice, Xu Xun opened the curtain and entered the house. Neither of them brought a few servants, they often had to go out to buy books or do some pen and ink, and there were often only some subordinates of the Xu family left in the courtyard to do things, so Xu Xun could easily break in. For this kind of untold entry, Xu Jing and Tang Yin were initially scared, but over time they got used to it, even if they were heard by Xu Xun twice behind their backs, this one just laughed back and joked back, this kind of careless and easy-to-do style is naturally very good for the two of them.

Xu Jing instinctively skipped the sentence in front of Xu Xun, secretly thinking that it was impossible for Xu Xun to let himself and his future wife move on the stage to be the protagonists, so he paid attention to the second half of the sentence: "What Tang Bohu ordered autumn fragrance?" ”

Tang Yin was also extremely puzzled by this scene in Xu Xun's mouth, however, Xu Xun had just gotten a piece of good news, so naturally he would not really describe to Tang Yin the images of Tang Bohu in later film and television dramas, and after a haha to divert the topic, he said with a smile: "Today is a great news to inform the two, Jiao Shangshu of the Criminal Department has re-examined the case file of the year, and there is no evidence of cheating, and the first emperor was deceived by the annihilation of people, so he has already played the emperor to return the fame of the two of you." ”

As soon as these words came out, both Tang Yin and Xu Jing were stunned. Both of them were young and ambitious to go to Beijing to take the exam, and they both lost their way in the countless flattery of seeking literature and Mobao, and they were young and reckless, and they didn't know how many enemies they set up for themselves, and as a result, the literati were jealous of each other, and they were regarded by Fu Han and others as the best weapon to attack Cheng Minzheng. Now it's been six years, and the only remaining bit of luck is about to become a reality, but what they show is not ecstasy, but gains and losses.

"Lord Xu, this thing is really ...... Can it really be done? ”

Seeing that Xu Jing asked cautiously, Xu Xun glanced at Tang Yin, and saw that he was really full of entanglement, so he smiled faintly: "Of course, things have to go through the cabinet, and there may still be some variables, but at this point, it will not be far from the innocence you dream of." If these three cabinet elders want to fight with the emperor in the ring, then there will always be other cabinet elders who can uphold justice in the future, if not...... Could it be that the play I asked you to write is just a popular talent and beauty in the market? ”

If the court can't get through public opinion, then create your own public opinion!

Xu Jing and Tang Yin are both smart people, and they have followed Xu Xun for a long time, and they soon have their hearts open. This kind of way of building momentum with civil oppression of officialdom was originally a taboo, and it was not good for one to toss himself into the Jinyi Guard, but if the emperor Yanjing in the palace stood on this side, the effect would be very different. The two looked at each other, and finally lifted their robes at the same time and knelt down.

"Lord Xu's grace of recreation, I will not forget it!"

"Get up, I don't say any high-sounding words, helping you is one of them, I don't look down on those old adults who want to be bitches and want to set up archways, I want to teach them some lessons, that's the second! Speaking of which, I'm also selfish. Xu Xun pulled people up one by one, seeing that the two of them did not have the slightest difference in his explicit accusation, knowing that the two had been suppressed for too long, not to mention that they had a good impression of the bosses in the court, I was afraid that it would be good not to scold the mother in my heart when I met, so he asked with a smile, "If you return the fame, what are your two plans?" ”

"I plan to ......" Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally said bitterly, "My father was able to write poetry at the age of ten, and at the age of twenty-six, he was the third in the township test, but he was angry and studied hard because he failed in the test, so that he was seriously ill and died depressed." Grandfather white-haired man sent black-haired man, and soon passed away, at that time the epitaph was still written by Li Gelao. And I lost my fame because of the imperial examination fraud case, but none of my grandfather's friends in the court stood up to say a word of justice, if it were not for Lord Xu, I would not have been able to obtain justice for the rest of my life. If I can't revive my family's reputation, I can't live with my mother, and I'm sorry for the good wife in my family, so after three years, I will definitely take the exam! Even if those examiners can't tolerate me, I must take the test! ”

Xu Jing's categorical words made Xu Xun moved. After all, the scholars of this year shoulder the glory and hope of the family, Xu Jing's grandfather Xu Yuanxian is a jinshi, but his father Xu Yi is just a person, if Xu Jing can no longer be a jinshi, the once famous Xu family in Jiangyin will become a thing of the past. Therefore, after nodding in understanding, he turned his head to look at Tang Yin.

"If you can really restore your fame...... I'm not going to take the test. ”

Tang Yin saw that Xu Jing's face was different, but Xu Xun couldn't see any expression, so he sighed and said: "The name of the four great talents of Suzhou sounds majestic, but it is nothing in the science field. Changguo's talent didn't get a result until this year, and it was also because Lord Xu lent a helping hand. As for me, my reputation has been ruined, and in the past six years, I have not been like Heng's father who has closed his door to thousands of volumes, and has only read sage books, written a lot of crooked poems, painted a lot of beautiful women, and written a lot of those various small plays, the only thing I have never touched is Bagu. I have self-knowledge, I am satisfied to be able to regain the name of Tang Xie Yuan in this life and this life, and I don't have the luxury of letting people call me Tang Jinshi again! ”

Faced with these two people with very different choices, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel a little real appreciation. Xu Jing said that he was going to take the exam in three years, and he made it clear that the examiner would not tolerate him, naturally because he was not optimistic that Xu Xun would be able to influence the court situation in just three years, and then influence the imperial examination; And Tang Yin said that he would never take the exam again for the rest of his life, but when he had already left an impression on the little emperor, he gave up the road to becoming an official. Thinking of this, he laughed.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and I don't force them. When the time comes, the official will, Heng's father should go home first, maybe it will be in time for the New Year, after all, you still have a mother and wife at home, you can't leave them all the time, and you have to go back to make them happy, and studying hard in the Wanjuan Building is more effective than in the flashy place of the capital. As for Bohu......"

"If Lord Xu doesn't mind, I'll be cheeky and bother the house for a while. I only have one daughter in Suzhou, and I plan to bring them to Beijing. Although I am no longer the famous Tang Liuru of Beijing, but the self-confidence of poetry, calligraphy and painting is more beneficial than back then, even if I open a calligraphy and painting shop, I can get by, and I can write a few good plays for adults, but it is much more enjoyable than begging for life from those old adults! ”

"Okay, I can't ask for it!"

Xu Xun agreed, and when he saw Xu Jing standing there silently, he obviously envied Tang Yin's freedom and ease, and he couldn't get rid of his responsibilities, so he smiled and said: "Bohu has Bohu's choice, Heng's father has Heng's father's way, move forward with your head held high, and you don't need to pay attention to the past!" ”

After this good news, Xu Xun picked up the past and went to Tang Yin's study to discuss a play with him. However, when he said what he meant, Tang Yin was stunned for a moment. How could he have thought that he was just joking at the beginning, and Xu Xun would take it seriously! However, when Xu Xun began to weave the outline meticulously and put forward all kinds of requirements, he realized that Xu Xun was not joking, and he was surprised but very interested.

Based on the characters of the current dynasty, even dramas like Wang Shifu and Yuanqu Si have never been tried!

Xu Xun also listened to Huitong's reminder, and he was worried that those old guys who didn't deal with him sent people to Jinling to inquire about old things. There is no doubt about Shen Yue's authenticity, but the problem is that even if Fu Rong and Chen Lu covered up his previous designs in many ways, they still can't stand the association of people who have a heart. Rather than waiting for the time to be passive, it is better to create a public opinion offensive now.

At this time, he made up a story of ups and downs for Tang Yin, and when he saw that people were thinking about it and racking their brains, he asked Xu Jing to go to Xianyuan to see how to change the opera garden after a few days, so he said goodbye to the two. As soon as he came out of the courtyard gate, he collided with Jin Liu.

"Young master, something happened!" Jin Liu walked forward quickly, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Yang Ziqi, the director of the Ministry of Officials' Examination and Merit, wrote that the Tailing Jinjing once had water, accusing the overseer and eunuch Li Xing of bullying the monarch and not forgiving him, and swept the internal official and eunuch Liu Gonggong who recommended Li Xing into it, and Zhang Gonggong in the palace was waiting outside, just in a hurry!" ”

Even if Yang Ziqi impeached Li Xing, he actually brought Liu Jin into it all of a sudden, this kind of blow is so wide, isn't it a cannon battle but it blew himself up?

Xu Xun wanted to follow Jin Liu out quickly, and as soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw Zhang Yong rushing up from his seat, rushing to him in three steps and two steps, and said a few words about Yang Ziqi's impeachment, and then changed the conversation and said: "Brother Xu, it is clear that Wang Yue is not honest when he arrives in Tailing, and he actually grabbed such a deadly pigtail!" The emperor originally didn't believe it, but Wang Yue sent a fold back, and the boss swore an oath, and even swore that if there was no such thing, he would die to apologize...... Lao Liu was scolded by the emperor, and he was kneeling in front of the main hall of Chengqian Palace at this moment! ”

Xu Xun frowned when he learned that Wang Yue had actually waded into such troubled waters, he sat there and thought about it for a while, until Zhang Yongdu was a little anxious, he looked at Zhang Yong and said: "If I remember correctly, this matter of Tailing site selection, the celebrant is led by Dai Yi, and the Ministry of Rites is the left and right attendants have been to see, plus the Ministry of Works, the new Ningbo built by the Admiral, and countless people are involved?" ”

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up suddenly: "Brother Xu, what do you mean ......?"

"Since someone wants to muddy the water, then the surname Suo adds a bucket of mud, even if the Jinjing is out of water, it is also a bad choice of Tailing's location, from Qin Tianjian to the ceremonial supervisor to the Ministry of Rites and Works, countless people up and down want to eat and hang, Suo surname is pulled into the water, see who is in the most trouble! Dai Yi and Li Rong had a good relationship, and he was also present when the first emperor left the edict, not to mention the two of them. ”

Although he promised Shenying to protect Yang Ziqi, since it was an artillery battle, he had to consider it if he expected people to appreciate it, rather than this, it was better to burn this fire more vigorously first!
