Chapter Fifty-Eight—Getting to Know the New Gongshi

Hongyi peeked at the people on the side, all expressionless, waiting for him to make a move. All right!

"You two tributes have mistaken someone! My surname is Zeng, and my name is Hongyi. Hongyi asked calmly. After finishing speaking, I was very relieved, it has been almost two years, and I reported my real name for the first time, and the days of incognito are not good!

Ji Kaisheng almost laughed out loud on the side, and secretly sighed that this young master is really clever, and he is so handy in giving himself a temporary name! can see Hongyi's resentful eyes, and quickly retract his shenxing.

Actually, Hongyi is angry, is my real name so funny? Hum! I won't be stupid enough to believe those screenwriters and writers in later generations again, what is surnamed Huang surnamed Ai, what is deaf Long'er, now it seems that it is fake when I hear it!

"The students don't dare to be presumptuous, and ask Hongyi Gongzi to atone for their sins!" The short and fat young man was sleek at first glance, and when he saw that Lord Belle was covering up, he got off the donkey, and as the first person in the Qing Dynasty, he recognized Zeng Hongyi's identity.

"Hmph, do you dare not admit it after being Lord Belle? This Beijing city has been spread all over, you descend from the sky auspicious, hold the tripod and be born, the golden crow descends to the earth, the moon can speak, the big break the worship, the second grade! How can you face our two little Gongsheng, and you can't do it like this? Although the tall and thin man knelt there, he muttered to himself, and he was very disdainful of Hongyi's pretentiousness for what he did!

"Bold!" Ji Kaisheng said a word, and regretted it when he finished speaking, didn't he admit that Lord Belle really didn't even have the courage to sit or change his surname without changing his name!

Mara on the side, and even Xiao Gongzi, are ready to follow Master Hongyi's instructions to go up and clean up the scholar who doesn't know the height of the sky. Originally, since you all know that Lord Belle is here, you dare to mumble a lot, owe it!

"Haha, Xuan Ye is playful, and he is so presumptuous! I neglected the two tributes, forgive me! Hongyi didn't laugh angrily, and suddenly became very interested in the huge contrast between the two tributes guessing the results of their own identities, and took the initiative to report their true identities in this time and space, which can be regarded as having a correct attitude and immediately correcting it.

"Lord Belle atons for his sins, the small people disturb Lord Belle to respect Yaxing, and the sin is unforgivable!" The short and fat young man, as always, once again quietly tugged at the placket of his companion next to him. However, Hongyi's frankness also made the thin and tall young man stunned, and he was a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to say: "The grass people are out of shape, disturb the honorable driver, please punish Lord Baylor!" ”

"Haha, where, where! This is called not fighting, not acquaintance! Besides, I'm playing around! Quick, two tributes, please get up. Mr. Zhang, please give you a seat. Hongyi's generosity is passed, and the two of them are invited to take a seat.

"Huh!" Zhang Suihan, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help the two young tributes, and said: "The two young talents must not be polite, although there are Belle Ye guests in the small shop today, it is not well thought out, and it is not closed, so there is a misunderstanding, it is all my fault, and the two have nothing to do." ”

Xinke Gongshi Min Xu and Yang Yongjian were both sitting opposite Hongyi with some trepidation, and the remaining seat was given to Ji Kaisheng.

"Brother Yang, although you are stubborn, you are not afraid of the powerful and do not lose your demeanor, Xuan Ye admires it so much!" Hongyi believes that a pleasant unexpected encounter must start with resolving a misunderstanding. So he decisively attacked Yang Yongjian, who was still a little angry.

Yang Yongjian originally thought that the second son of the emperor who had fallen from heaven and descended from the golden crow in this room was just a rumor, but he didn't expect to hear for the first time that a nursing child was so magnificent, but humble and polite to talk to himself, he was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.

"Haha, Brother Yang, although Xuan Ye is young, thanks to God's grace, he has had some rough accidents since he was a child, coupled with the careful education of my grandmother, father, and Mr. Ji for more than a year, although I don't dare to look at the back of the two new Kegongshi, I can also say a few words!" Hongyi said something ridiculously to the two tributes, and then waited patiently for a reply.

"Lord Belle, forgive me, Yang is indeed the first time to know the prince of the golden crow who is praised by the people, and he is indeed reckless." Yang Yongjian regained his senses, straightened his form, and began to seriously face this young boy who he looked down on just now.

"Jin Crow descends to earth? Do you mean the three-legged crow or 'the crow?' [qūnwū] [1]? Am I that dark? Yes? Hongyi suddenly remembered last year's CCTV hit "Chinese Character Dictation Conference", which included the word "Wu", so he hurriedly showed his so-called "knowledge", and ridiculed himself by the way. Several people laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious, and they also began to talk.

It turned out that this Min Xu [2] and Yang Yongjian [3], a native of Jiangdu, Jiangsu, and a native of Haining, Zhejiang, although the two places belonged to two provinces in later generations, they both belonged to Jiangnan Province in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, and naturally both of them were fellow villagers in Jiangnan. After the end of the provincial examination last year, Yang Yongjian, who had to be promoted, went north to catch the exam, passing by Jiangdu, Jiangsu, and happened to meet Min Xu, who was also ready to leave for Beijing to participate in the examination. Although Yang Yongjian was more resolute and direct, Min Xu was a little more clever and mellow, and these two people with similar temperaments and complementary personalities decided to join Beijing [4]. Fortunately, the two got tribute together in the spring examination, and they were even closer, and they studied and read together every day, discussed knowledge, and even exchanged ideas, and gradually became more and more affectionate and brotherly. I came out to hang out today, but I didn't want to have the coincidence of sitting at the same table with the rumored second son of the emperor, Dorobelle Xuanye.

Ji Kaisheng is also a person from Jiangnan Province, so he can naturally refer to the fixed model of "fellow villagers see fellow villagers, and tears are in their eyes", talk about their hometown for a while, and quickly get acquainted with the two tributes. So, Hongyi and these three "southerners" talked about the whole world with a very ordinary eight tables in the fresh and quaint Songzhuzhai store.

"Brother Min, how did you know my identity?" Hongyi asked with interest.

"The students don't dare, Lord Baylor is auspicious from the sky, and he is naturally incomparable to the young master of an ordinary official family!" Min Xu replied respectfully. Hongyi was naturally not satisfied with this answer, but he also nodded slightly, and was just about to speak, but Ji Kaisheng on the side once again showed his true nature as the first minister of the Qing Dynasty, and took the lead in saying:

"Min Xu, it's better to deal with Lord Belle's questioning!"

"Yes, the student is out of shape!" Min Xu was clever, quickly got up from his seat, and respectfully saluted the two superiors, but then did not dare to sit down.

You must know that at that time, if you directly called the name of the scholar instead of the table character, it would be similar to the harsh criticism of later generations.

Seeing this, Hongyi hurriedly said: "You might as well do it, Brother Min doesn't have to be restrained, Master Ji is also a person of temperament, don't worry, let's talk about your judgment getting better!" ”

"Yes, that's how the student was able to get to know Lord Baylor's ......"

[1] The three-legged black in the sun in ancient legends. "Huainanzi Spiritual Training": "There is a day in the sun". Gao lure note: "Kick, squat." It is called a three-legged black. Li Yong's "Rifu": "The candle dragon shines with the first thing, and it is quickly executed. "Ancient Chinese astronomers were diligent and good at observation, and described the subtle changes of the sun in detail. They were the first to discover the sunspot phenomenon. "Wu" turned out to be the image of sunspots. According to the TV, the crow will deliberately stay in the smoke, and explained that the smoke has a certain bactericidal effect, and the crow can stop in the smoke due to the choking of smoke, which may be the use of smoke sterilization to prevent and cure diseases. The ancients may have noticed that the crow liked to stay in the smoke, while other birds were all away from the fireworks, so they thought that the crow was a sacred object related to fire, and the crow was as black as charcoal, as if it had melted out of fire, and the ancients were more likely to simply think that the crow was the embodiment of fire, another manifestation of the lively "fire". The sun is the biggest fire in the world, at least the ancients had this understanding, so the crow became associated with the sun and became a sacred bird flying with the sun. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic": "There are buttresses on the Tang Valley, one day to arrive, one day to come out, all contained in Wu. "To the effect that there is a hibiscus tree growing on the valley, and ten suns perch on this tree, one sun has just returned, and the other sun gets up and goes out, and all ten suns are loaded on the crow. In this way, the crow leaped from a mortal bird to a divine crow flying with the sun.

[2] The summary of the four libraries said that Min Xu's name was Hequ, a native of She County, Anhui Province. "Taixue Inscription Monument" is a native of Jiangdu, Jiangsu, and it is suspected that he is also a parasidic. Shunzhi B did not enter the scholar, and the official supervised the imperial history. It is made by his inspector when he was in Guangxi, describing the mountains and rivers, which is quite elegant. It distinguishes the matter of "Di Qing taking Kunlun Pass", and verifies the geography, which is enough to make the mistake of "History of the Song Dynasty". "Cantonese Narrative"? One volume (the collection of the scholar Yinglian), written by Min in the Qing Dynasty.

[3] Yang Yongjian (1631-1704), the word is from the west, the name is Zhai, and he is a salt official in Haining. In the twelfth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1655), he was awarded the title of Guangdong Gaoyao County. Later, he was recommended to serve in the military department. He once went to nine times a day and was known for daring to admonish. In the seventeenth year, a letter was written requesting that the formation of associations and alliances was strictly prohibited, so that the party and social movement that was at the height of the Ming and Qing dynasties was suddenly stifled. Later, he successively served as the director of the Ministry of War, the left and right general administration, the imperial servant, and the left deputy capital imperial history. In the eighteenth year of Kangxi (1679), he served as the governor of Guizhou, when Wu Shifan, the son of Wu Sangui in Yunnan, was not settled, Guizhou was first restored, and the people's livelihood withered. During his tenure, he established a camp system, prohibited invasion and plunder, reduced forced labor, banned the reform of private factions, and compensated for exile, opened up wasteland and cultivated, and the people gradually became safe. After the Qing army quelled the rebellion, it returned to the north, passing through Guizhou, and there were those who were not strict in military discipline, and they were impeached in the upper chapter, and the army was called "Yang Yiyi". Twenty-three years, he was appointed as a squire in the military department. Two years later, he returned as a beggar for his mother. He is the author of "Political Science Edition", "Huangmen Shu Manuscript", "Fu Qian Song Shu", "Jing Shu Lou Collection", etc.

[4] Min Xu and Yang Yongjian did have their own people in history, and their origins were also correct, and both of them were both in the 20th year of Shunzhi. But the relationship between the two is made up in Hongyi's article. plus Ji Kaisheng, these three people who originally had no intersection in history, the author searched for three hours before finding what they had in common - they are all from Jiangnan Province in the Shunzhi Dynasty! Haha, there is a basis for apocryphal fabrication!
