Chapter 565: The Heart That Can't Let Go
Yesterday on the street, Gencheng suddenly turned around, because he vaguely heard a voice, although it was only vague for a moment, but it made him stop thinking, and even, it also evoked the past in his heart.
Behind him was a bustling crowd, and his ears were filled with all kinds of shouting, at this time, even if someone shouted Yuan Cheng's name, he might not be able to hear it clearly, however, in the face of such a scene, he was still stubborn and wanted to find it in the crowd.
Who the voice came from, Yuan Cheng didn't know, but in his mind, the figure that clearly appeared made him feel an inexplicable confidence, as if as long as that person appeared in front of him, he would definitely be able to see it.
However, Yuan Cheng looked around, naturally he didn't see the person in his memory, and in the end, his eyes unconsciously stopped at an intersection, and even he couldn't say the reason.
Gencheng never believed in the so-called feelings, but at that moment, he still wanted to take a step forward and walk through the crowd, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he didn't want to give up.
Later, it was Gesang's words that calmed down Gencheng - that person was no longer there.
A trace of decline flashed in Yuan Cheng's eyes, and he quickly found an excuse and ended the topic, however, Gesang's words still quietly stirred up ripples in his heart, what if ...... If he still comes, he must pass through that road......
That night, Yuan Cheng couldn't sleep for a long time, in the past two years, in order to let himself go of this person, he used the fastest speed, picked up Xianbei language, although he didn't have the heart to be a leader, but he tried his best to go deep into the Daiguo court, just to keep himself busy.
However, this is not an easy task, although the identity of a distant relative has allowed Gang Yuancheng to knock on the door of the court, it has also become an obstacle to his further promotion.
Although it is the same origin, there is still an essential difference with those royal relatives surnamed "Tuoba", so these people have joined forces openly and secretly to exclude and suppress Yuancheng, so that Yuancheng, who has no backer, is difficult to display even if he is talented.
In addition, Yuan Cheng is familiar with the Central Plains that set of ways of governing the country, although Emperor Tuoba has a good impression of the Central Plains people and Han culture, but later, Yuan Cheng found that the emperor's favor is actually limited to the utensils, calligraphy and paintings brought by the Central Plains people, and is not interested in others.
If the emperor is like this, he can be regarded as pro-Han, then there is still a group of old-fashioned factions in the court, who sneer at everything in the Central Plains, and it is impossible for the thoughts of the Central Plains people to get involved in their own court.
In addition, Dai's national conditions, folk customs, and officials' work styles are very different from those of the Central Plains, even if they are more advanced, if Yuan Cheng copies them, they may not be applicable, and they are easy to be opposed by the old ministers.
On the one hand, Yuan Cheng wanted to erase the mark of the Central Plains on his body, but on the other hand, because of his "Han temperament", he was appreciated by the emperor's son and Tuoba Qi.
Tuoba Qi is different from his father, he not only likes the utensils, calligraphy and paintings of the Central Plains, but also likes the history of the Central Plains and the thoughts of the sages.
Tuoba Qi likes to use banquets to enhance his relationship with courtiers and relatives, and that time, he specially organized a banquet for his peers and invited young men from the court to participate, so that Yuan Cheng was fortunate to be invited.
This kind of banquet, Yuan Cheng didn't like it very much, but he still went.
Because all the people present were young people, the overall atmosphere of the banquet was more relaxed, and Yuan Cheng sat in a small corner at the end, echoing everyone's voice.
During that time, everything was not going well in Yuancheng, he worked hard for more than half a year, but he did not make any achievements in the court, but he was busy, except in his dreams, he hardly did not think about it on weekdays, and then remembered the previous things.
Therefore, at that time, Yuan Cheng actually had the mind to let go, and at home, he did not rely on his little money as an official to survive.
Yuan Cheng's father, Yuan Sheng, is also an official in the court, and he also has an older sister, because he is good at archery, he has a position in the martial arts, and his only younger brother is weak, but he paints at home and sells ink treasures in exchange for money.
In addition, with the blessing of distant relatives, if Yuancheng is thick-skinned enough, he can stay at home for the rest of his life, and he can also eat and drink without worrying.
Yuan Cheng's father Yuan Sheng, at the beginning, was because of the war between the Hu people, for the safety of his children, he defected to Dai Guo, before that, he experienced the civil strife of his own clan, lost his wife in the killing, and was separated from Yuan Cheng, after which he was disheartened, and for a long time, he just lived as an ordinary person.
Therefore, after arriving in Daiguo, Yuan Sheng didn't want to get ahead, although he was awarded an official position, but it was just to give his children more security in life.
Yuan Sheng wants the children to have a happy life, so he respects their wishes very much, as for Yuan Cheng, Yuan Sheng knows that he is not an empty head, plus he is separated, so he is even more tolerant of him.
Back then, Yuan Cheng voluntarily entered the court, Yuan Sheng was actually unwilling, but in the end, he not only agreed, but also secretly helped Yuan Cheng, if at this moment, Yuan Cheng wanted to be a leisurely son, he maybe, he would raise his hands in agreement.
Watching Tuoba Qi chatting with other people, exchanging glasses and lamps, and the whole banquet was a happy scene, Yuan Cheng only felt that he was incompatible with here, and from this, he also strengthened his heart.
Yuan Cheng decided that from tomorrow onwards, he would be a dutiful idle official, only in charge of one acre and three points of land within his position.
Without the burden in his heart, Yuan Cheng also began to enjoy the banquet, the wine and food in the emperor's mansion were all the best of the best, he couldn't hold back for a while, and was greedy for the cup.
The banquet was coming to an end, and Tuoba Qi had a whim, and suddenly wanted to hear everyone's thoughts after participating in the banquet.
The people sitting in front of Tuoba Qi's eyes are either high-ranking or prominent, without too many concerns, most of them are drunk, their tongues are knotted, and the words they say are all beautiful words that they are tired of hearing, exaggerated and empty.
Tuoba Qi was never satisfied, so he asked everyone to continue, and later, I don't know who it was, and the name of Gencheng was mentioned.
At that time, Yuan Cheng's face was slightly drunk, and his body was a little weak, but his brain was very clear, he felt that Tuoba Qi was difficult for a strong man, and he was not satisfied with the words of praise, and he had to be praised by others.
That day, it was the first time Yuan Cheng saw Tuoba Qi, it was the first time, and it was the last time, Yuan Cheng thought, so he stood up in a dashing manner, walked to the field, and directly quoted a satirical poem, in Chinese.
Throughout the poem, the surface is describing the peaceful and prosperous times of the country, the singing and dancing of the palace, and the scene of the monarchs and ministers inviting each other to celebrate, but in the last sentence, the poet very vaguely expresses his concern for the future of the dynasty.
When Tuoba Qi heard this, he slapped the table, and stood up suddenly, looking at Yuan Cheng with wide eyes, and suddenly began to applaud.
"Good poetry! Good poetry! ”
The officials and clan relatives on the field either hadn't woken up yet, and were in a daze, or they didn't understand what Yuan Cheng was saying at all, however, seeing Tuoba Qixi's smiling appearance, they all applauded, and the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax again.
"Who are you? Hurry up and get your name on! Tuoba Qi's eyes lit up, "Not only is the poetry good, but the Chinese language is also so standard!" ”
Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but because of his feelings, he still saluted respectfully and reported his name.
However, this does not mean that Yuan Cheng recognized Tuoba Qi, not to mention the monarch and minister, he felt that the two of them couldn't even be friends, not to mention anything else, the two of them had very different attitudes towards the banquet.
Yuan Cheng didn't want to entangle with the powerful, he was afraid that Tuoba Qi would make some strange request on a whim, so before Tuoba Qi said "retreat", he went down on his own first, not paying attention to Tuoba Qi's expression at all.
Yuan Cheng thought that this was the end of the matter, and the next day, Yuan Cheng slept until three o'clock in the morning, and his physical discomfort had been completely eliminated, and he was feeling relaxed.
As a result, just after lunch, Tuoba Qi's will was delivered to Yuan Cheng's house.
