The capital is boiling. 【Reading.com】

The scholars rushed to tell each other, and countless readers were moved to tears, which is great news! The capital will become what it is now, and the emperor will become what it is now, didn't it all start with the plague god entering Beijing?

Today, everyone is finally looking forward to coming out, and the plague god is forced by the situation, oh no, it is because of the heroic righteousness of the Confucian disciples, and he is finally about to leave Beijing.

Champion Hou?

Marriage?

A product of fate?

Traveling, getting married, going on a honeymoon? Governor of Liaodong?

These are just the emperor's childish attacks, and he didn't admit defeat, so he made a mystery, no matter how many layers of gold foil were pasted on it, after all, he couldn't hide Xie Hong's embarrassed and miserable appearance.

What kind of place is that in Liaodong? It's cold, it's uninhabited, and there are Tartars raging from time to time, it's a real wild place! Governor? It's better to say exile, isn't Liaodong a place for exiled sinners?

Besides, it's easy for him to leave Beijing, but it's difficult to come back, as long as he appoints an imperial historian to guard Shanhaiguan, can he still fly back? Not to mention how long he can live in Liaodong, or even ...... Whether he can get to Liaodong or not, he always has to pay it back when he comes out, and it is very appropriate to describe this annihilation with a full of evil.

No one pays attention to the unreasonable places in the holy decree, as long as there is no plague god, doesn't the emperor have to rely on the scholars and doctors to govern the country? Everything will soon be back on track, and the scholars will be able to raise their heads again and become the rulers of the world.

After the excitement, the praise was overwhelming, and the petitioners were overwhelming, especially Liu Zhizhong, who initiated the matter.

No matter how many schemes there are in the secret, except for a few people with extraordinary backgrounds and well-informed information, most people only see the appearance, even if they are fellow scholars.

Therefore, what most people see is that under the leadership of Lord Liu, the officials braved the cold to meditate outside the Chengtian Gate, and finally moved the sacred heart with sincerity and subdued Annihilation with righteousness. Therefore, the emperor will issue an order to eliminate maladministration and drive out Xie Hong, who is fortunate to advance!

This kind of great achievement, as straight as the sky to protect the general, is the world's miraculous feats that helped the Jiangshan Sheji, with this merit alone, Lord Liu's prestige can already catch up with Yu Shaobao, who defended the capital back then, compared to the founding of the country's virtuous minister Liu Bowen is not much better!

You must know that the annihilator once dismissed the cabinet ministers and brutally killed the Shangshu squire, shrouding the capital in an unprecedented terror, and the ministers of the foreign court dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

When all the horses were together, it was Lord Liu who inherited the will and style of Liu Ge Lao, and came out to sweep away the dense demon clouds in the capital and clarify the universe, which is simply the demeanor of a saint.

"Lord Liu, it is said that it has been built so miraculously today, and it is expected to go to the pavilion to pay respects to the prime minister, which is really gratifying!" People like Tu Xun can still remain calm, but they just say hello with a smile.

He knows the inside story very well, and it seems easy to make a contribution today, but how can it be an overnight effort, or the power of several people, the whole world has been involved, and it is strange that the annihilator can still hold on.

"Brother Liu, the younger brother should say that when he sees the virtuous brother, he will feel extraordinary, and now he has really achieved a positive result, and what a good way to leave a name in history! The younger brother said that he would ask the virtuous brother for more benefits, and I hope that the virtuous brother will give him advice! "The officials who came with him actually didn't know a lot, but they just saw that there was a person with an extraordinary identity leading the way, so they just followed the trend.

However, seeing that the success is done, it is natural that you have to climb the friendship, beg for help, and be an official, isn't that what is going on? Knowledge or anything is secondary, connections are the most important, climb to a future elder, that will at least save decades of hard work.

"Lord Liu, he studied hard for many years in his later life, but he was a bitter unknown teacher, and he didn't understand the way of the sage, and the adult was heroic and upright, and he had the demeanor of a sage, if he didn't give up, he was willing to hold a saddle horse for the teacher in his later life, not seeking fame, just wanting to be able to listen to the teacher's teachings day and night."

Reserved is actually a very luxurious thing, and for ordinary scholars, it would be good to be able to get together and be extravagant. Everyone knows that the allusions of noble people who are wise and talented, are all lies, unless you look better than Pan An, who can tell if you are heroic or not?

If you want to seize the opportunity, you can't rely on the ethereal things like discernment, you can only rely on the sincerity of everyone. As soon as the holy decree was read, the audience swarmed up, with Liu Degang as the center, and the three layers inside and outside the three layers were impassable, showing their sincerity, well, or the bottom limit.

Seek apprenticeship, guidance, and support...... In short, there are all kinds of requests, among which there are many gray-haired old men, middle-aged people who are similar to Lord Liu's age abound, not to mention young scholars, these people are red-faced and red-eared, scrambling forward and crowding, as if they can get fame in this way.

If there is an uninformed experience, if you see the enthusiasm of Lord Liu being embraced, you will definitely think that a certain head card of Lichun Courtyard has appeared in Chengtianmen, otherwise how can you attract bees and butterflies like this?

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Lord Liu has worked hard for the country, not avoiding the cold, he has been sitting outside the Chengtian Gate for most of the day, if he doesn't go back to the house to warm up his body, maybe you will be sick, what a precious body Lord Liu is, if something like this happens, who of you can afford it? Don't get out of the way yet! ”

Of course, no matter what you do, there is a difference between superior and inferior, and flattery is no different. Don't look at the fact that most of the officials are particular about style, but there is also political wisdom that should be there, and immediately someone showed those mediocre people who want all kinds of things what is the advanced realm of patting horses, or it can also be said to be the quality of dog legs.

After some uproar, Liu Gongzi was finally able to get out, and he said with emotion: "The scholars in the capital are so dedicated to the Tao, but I am not alone, my generation should redouble their efforts, and restore the grand occasion of the Hongzhi Dynasty as soon as possible!" ”

"What Lord Liu said is that it is precisely with models like Lord Liu and Liu Ge Lao that my Confucian Taoism can last for thousands of years and be passed down from generation to generation." Everyone echoed the voice.

"Everyone has worked hard, why don't you let the younger brother be the east, how about going to the cold house?" Liu Gongzi said that he was full of spirits today, although he had been sought after a lot, but he still had a feeling of unfinished business, so he also sent an invitation to everyone.

"I was about to disturb Lord Liu, the old man heard that Lord Liu had a new picture of a lady who joined the army, and he was intending to come to the door to ask for a meeting. Tu Xun arched his hand and said with a smile.

The bigger the official position, the higher the emotional intelligence, this principle is basically common in officialdom. Liu Jian already likes antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and Liu Degang is also in the same line, especially for calligraphy and painting, and it is said that his own attainments are not low.

Many people in the court know this allusion, and when Liu Shoufu was in power, the people who voted for him were like carp crossing the river. Calligraphy and painting, the value of this kind of thing is not easy to estimate, with this gift, both elegant, and no traces, is a good prescription for ancient and modern times.

What's more, since Liu Ge's father and son are both good at this, it is also logical to come to the door to ask for a ink treasure, and then leave a few polishing pens, no matter where they go, no one can say anything.

When Xie Hong framed so many adults, but he couldn't use the same means to deal with Liu Gelao, he could only forcibly dismiss him, because of this, except for a mansion in Beijing and hundreds of acres of land in his hometown, Liu Gelao's property was in this elegant thing, and he couldn't find anything wrong.

Of course, these are all tacit things that people in high positions know, and no one will say it explicitly, but it is a great good way to flatter Liu's father and son in this way.

Tu Xun's proposal scratched Liu Degang's itch, and everyone was about to slap Liu Degang, so naturally they also responded violently, so Liu Gongzi's face was even more red, and his beaming appearance could be seen clearly from a distance.

He didn't hesitate at the moment, first ordered his subordinates to go back to report and prepare, and then everyone got into the car, led by his carriage, and went to Liu's mansion.

It is not practical for him to lead, go to Liu's Mansion, and everyone is familiar with the road. Although Liu Jian was dismissed, the house was not moved, which is also the meaning of the new first assistant Li Daxue to express the sincere unity of the new and old first assistant.

Liu's Mansion is in Dashi Yongfang on the south side of Chang'an West Street, very close to Chengtianmen, and the group quickly arrived at the place. After entering Liu's Mansion, the guests and hosts sat down, a few glasses of hot wine were down, the chill on their bodies was also swept away, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.

"Brother Liu, I'm already looking forward to it, so don't sell Guan Zi and hide it anymore, hurry up and take out that painting." Although the banquet has not yet opened, there are those who are familiar with Liu Degang, but they are in a hurry.

This is also half-false and half-true. Gu Senjun is talking about the painting saint Gu Kaizhi, who is known as the painting saint of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and is best at painting people, beasts, gods and Buddha statues, etc., and his authentic works themselves have considerable attraction and value.

Of course, the purpose of making a fuss is to show closeness, and it is more desirable, which is not a treatment that anyone can enjoy, and status is the foundation of etiquette, and it is not to be ignored. Those who are not close enough can only look at these lucky ones with envy.

"Brother Taixiu wants to make fun of him, why is the younger brother selling anything?" Liu Degang smiled, and then commanded: "Come on, take my paintings." ”

Not long after, a scholar in Tsing Yi walked into the living room with a scroll of paintings, Liu Gongzi bowed slightly, raised his hand slightly, and pointed to the table in the middle.

Whether it was fun, or to welcome Liu Gongzi, led by Tu Xun, everyone gathered around and watched the scholar slowly unfold the scroll.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of Gu joining the army, and the painting style shows everyone's style!"

"Brother Zhou is right, you can know the whole leopard by looking at it, just look at this method of turning the edge, you can know that the attainments of the painter are extraordinary, if it is not a painting saint, who can paint a picture of a lady so expressively."

"Hehe, that is, a genius like Brother Liu Xian is worthy of the true works of painting saints......"

I think the scholar was afraid of damaging the picture scroll, so his movements were extremely gentle and slow, but everyone here was an old officialdom, how could he be stumped by this little thing? Although I only saw a bright wrist and a few strands of light yarn, everyone was amazed and admired, and there was no shortage of fun, and they even put on an obsessive look.

"After this painting was started, the younger brother also carefully appreciated it, although the younger brother's clumsy skills are poor, but this painting should not be bad." Hearing everyone's admiration, Liu Degang was even more complacent, although he was sitting in his own house, he felt as if he had risen to the clouds, and it was like entering Wenyuan Pavilion and sitting in the position that his father had done.

It's just that...... Liu Gongzi has always been used to smooth sailing, although he has heard the phrase that things must be opposed, but he has no concept of it, so when the picture scroll was fully unfolded, he found that everyone suddenly stopped moving, and there was no sound, or when the large group of people suddenly froze, he was at a loss.

"Ladies and gentlemen, but there is a flaw in this painting, or is it that the younger brother has not identified the authenticity?" Liu Degang stood up in confusion, wondering in his heart, could it be that the person who sent the painting dared to deceive himself? But I clearly found a master to see it, and I didn't find anything abnormal? It's genuine!

"......" No one answered, except for Tu Xun, who was old and deep in the city, no one had any response, most of them still maintained a stiff posture, and the expressions on their faces were also very strange, as if they wanted to look away, but they didn't know where to move.

It was Tu Xun who raised his head slightly, the expression on his face was also very stiff and weird, as if he was smiling rather than laughing, as if he was crying rather than crying, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after a long time, he didn't make a sound at all.

"Everyone, what the hell is ......" Liu Degang has no idea what happened, even if this painting is a fake, these people shouldn't be this reaction, right? The people who can come here don't have officialdom newcomers, even if the painting is a child's graffiti, they shouldn't be like this, just this little city? Could it be that after so many years, the official has been in the belly of a dog?

"Liu Gongzi, this painting is still ......" Tu Xun finally held back a few words and raised his hand, as if he wanted to stop Liu Gongzi from looking at the painting, and it seemed that he wanted Liu Gongzi to destroy the painting.

But such a look in Liu Gongzi's eyes made him even more suspicious, he suddenly took two steps forward, pushed aside everyone, and looked at the table...... "Ah? This is ......" At a glance, Liu Degang's face immediately changed greatly, the red light on his face was gone, and then turned as white as paper, and after a moment, it was even more white, and his body began to tremble.

The reason, of course, is that painting, the painting is very good, the craftsmanship is extraordinary, and the characters are portrayed vividly, the eyebrows, the eyes, and the graceful and graceful places, as if a real person is in front of you.

However, the content of this painting is a bit problematic, the lady is very beautiful, but she is not wearing clothes, and there is a man behind her who doesn't know what he is doing, but looking at the ups and downs, it should not be a good thing, obviously this is a picture of the Spring Palace.

The spring palace picture is nothing, the adults here are well-informed, and if they see a lot of that kind of thing, they will naturally not make a fuss, but the problem is still this lady.

Most of the people who can come here have a good relationship, although it is not a good family, but Mrs. Liu, that is, Miss Wang, most of the people have seen it, and the lady on the painting is clearly the old lady of the pavilion!

Moreover, the man who showed his face behind him was gray-haired, and he was clearly Liu Jian, a university scholar! There are also a few lines of poetry in the upper right corner of the painting, well, one of them is quite appropriate: a pear tree presses a begonia, and a chrysanthemum is full of wounds...... Even if everyone is well-informed, they really don't know how to deal with such a situation, so freezing in place is the only reaction they can make, otherwise what can they do? Could it be that he looked up and told Liu Gongzi: Lord Liu, you seem to have drawn the wrong ...... "Ah! ”

Regardless of this, in fact, there is no difference, Liu Gongzi's face changed several times in an instant, and finally he suddenly roared, blood spurted in his mouth, and he fell to the sky, and when everyone hurriedly helped him up, he was already like gold paper, and his anger was like a gossamer.

"Doctor, go call the doctor!" This is the most normal reaction, and the people who shout like this are the most numerous.

"Lord Liu, you have to mourn and change, don't hurt your body......" There is also a sentence that I don't know what to say, and it pops up inexplicably.

"Liu Gongzi, there may be another ...... in this matter" Tu Xun was the calmest one, glared at the person who didn't know what to say, pushed back the other party's words, and then tried to explain the misunderstanding to appease Liu Gongzi.

"Tell my father, I ......" Liu Gongzi's eyes were dilated, obviously all this was not in his eyes, he moved his fingers, and tried to say something with a dying breath, but before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and stopped talking.

There was a dead silence, and after a long while, someone moved.

"Could it be ......" Tu Xun probed his nose tentatively, and found that the other party was completely motionless...... He's dead? He shouted out in his heart what no one else had said.

Seeing his expression, everyone was chilled all over their bodies, this thing is too evil, could it be that the plague god is doing it again? Well, why do I say again?

Otherwise, how could a good painting become a spring palace? How can a good person be angry all of a sudden?

It shouldn't be! It's horrible!
