It was high and crisp in autumn, the fields were golden and rolling, and the fruit trees in the fields were fruitful and low. Lan Qing walked alone on the ridge of the field, watching the farmers harvest the grain.

But as he walked and looked at it, he found that the land was full of harvest, but the peasants were full of sadness. Lan Qing couldn't help but step forward curiously and asked an old farmer who was leaning under a big tree to enjoy the shade.

"Uncle, this year's harvest is good, right?" Lan Qing stepped forward to greet him.

The old peasant squinted and glanced at Lan Qing a few times, but he didn't make a sound.

Lan Qing was a little embarrassed, but he didn't care and sat down next to the old farmer, and deliberately said to himself: "This year is a beautiful year, giving the people a bumper harvest year!" ”

The old farmer seemed to look down on Lan Qing, and seemed to have deliberately responded: "God is beautiful, these officials can eat enough this year!" After speaking, Wu got up and hummed the song "Shuo Mouse, Shuo Mouse, no food for me!" Three-year-old girl, don't care about it. Suitable for the paradise, love me! Rats, rats, don't eat my wheat! Three-year-old girl, Mo I Kende. The deceased woman is suitable for the country. Love me straight! Rats and rats, no food for my seedlings! Three-year-old girl, Mo I am willing to work. The deceased woman, suitable for the suburbs, happy suburbs, who knows the eternal number? "It's going farther and farther!

Lan Qing looked at the old farmer who had gone away thoughtfully. He carefully observed these croppers in the fields, and found that these croppers were all angry, full of vegetables, and after looking at them for a day, he did not see a few mothers-in-law and children who delivered food. Even if there were, the meal would be nothing more than a clear soup with little water, and it would be better than nothing!

Seeing that the twilight was heavy, and the croppers also dragged their tired bodies back to their respective homes, Lan Qing couldn't help but stop and sigh: "The twilight is sinking into the golden waves, and the fruits are low. The harvest in the fields is busy, and no people are happy! ”

Lan Qingzheng was troubled in his heart, and a person next to him sighed: "It's a good poem, but I don't know how to make people happy?" ”

Lan Qing was full of sorrow because he saw the stark contrast between this sorrowful peasant and the abundant crops. I didn't notice when there was an extra person beside him, and when he heard someone speak at this moment, he was really shocked, he stabilized his mind and looked sideways at the person.

I saw that the man was burly, dressed in a noble gray-blue robe, and the robe was embossed with auspicious clouds embroidered with silver filigree, which was quite elegant. The waist is tied with a wide belt embroidered with gold trim in blue and brown, which looks very lean. A pair of energetic eyes on the black and yellow face suddenly gave him a lot of points. After Lan Qing looked at this person, he secretly thought to himself in his heart that the person in front of him should be either rich or expensive, so he made a slight humility and said: "It's just a casual sigh!" Stained the ears of the gentleman. ”

The man smiled and said, "Sir is modest, my husband Yunjia." I saw that Mr. had been wandering around in this field for a day, and he was still full of sorrow. I took the liberty of disturbing it. ”

Lan Qing smiled a little crampedly and said, "In the following table, Lan Qing, see and laugh!" In the lower four bodies, those who are not diligent and do not divide the grains enjoy a good life, and they are really ashamed to see these croppers. ”

Yun Jia smiled and said, "Brother Lan Qing is surprised, things in this world are nothing more than this!" ”

After hearing this, Lan Qing said silently: "What Brother Yun Jia said is extremely true. ”

Yun Jia seemed to have observed Lan Qing for a day, and at this moment he intended to invite, only to hear him say: "Brother Lan Qing, you have been in this field for a day, and you should be thirsty. Why don't you go to our drunken Hongxuan to sit down? When I heard that Brother Lan Qing was full of literary talents, I was very admiring, can I give me a chance to talk deeply? ”

Lan Qing looked at Yun Jia, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then Lan Qing will be bothered!" ”

Yun Jia smiled all over his face, looked at Lan Qing with deep meaning in his eyes, and took Lan Qing to Zuihongxuan. After a while, Lan Qing saw a big red cloth banner with a bamboo pole outside the bamboo building and fluttering in the wind, and the three words "Drunken Hongxuan" were written in a small seal. Lan Qing secretly thought in his heart that this should be the place! Sure enough, Na Yun Jia stopped, touched his beard with his hand and said, "Brother Lan Qing, this is our drunken Hongxuan, please follow me in." Lan Qing nodded, made a gesture of please, and then followed Yun Jia in.

Na Yunjia took Lan Qing directly through the lobby and went to the private room. Lan Qing followed Yun Jia forward, and while secretly observing the environment here, he felt that the road to the private room was quite winding and quiet. The lobby was bustling with people and noisy, but behind the screen that separated the lobby was a small secluded courtyard.

In the courtyard is an old pear tree full of pears, the fruit is heavy and falling, and the treetops are bent down with low eyebrows, as if to invite people to merit. The surrounding cannas are still trying to bloom the last beauty of the year in the uncooled weather in autumn, fiery red. It brings a lot of festive colors to this courtyard. Directly in front is a zigzag verandah shaded by thousands of bamboos that have not faded their emerald color and are still luxuriant; There are four words hanging on the top end: "Dense forest and bamboo". Walking along the gravel-paved verandah, at the end, you will see the houses with gray courtyard walls.

Lan Qing sighed in his heart that this Yun Jia was a master of quiet and elegant taste. Even so, he still had some doubts in his heart about this Yun Jia's unreasoned reason. He followed Yun Jia into the private room, saw the chic furnishings in the room, and exclaimed: "Brother Yun Jia, you are really elegant and profound!" ”

After Yun Jia motioned for Lan Qing to sit down, he said with a smile: "Actually, according to our people, Brother Lan Qing is elegant and elegant, and he is not the same as customs!" ”

Lan Qing was a little embarrassed after hearing this: "Brother Yun Jia praised it falsely!" ”

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, drank tea, and chatted about the world. Only then did Lan Qing know that this Yun Jia turned out to be the predecessor of Huaiwu Zhizhou, and because he was not used to the deception of this officialdom, he bullied the people before he resigned and came back to buy wine on the street. And Li Zhengnan, who was beaten by Lan Qing, is the current Huaiwu Zhizhou. It's just that Li Zhengnan doesn't have much knowledge, but he is the brother-in-law of Luo Qingping, the prime minister of the dynasty, and he is still the tool of the prime minister Luo Qingping. All the official promotions and other affairs in Huaiwu Prefecture were completed through this Li Zhengnan. The emperor asked for a light and thin endowment, but this light and thin endowment was given, and corrupt officials like Luo Qingping and Li Zhengnan would get less, so the expenses were varied, strange, and various names were used to defraud the people. The emperor also knew, but it was up to them. Lan Qing shook his head again and again, heartbroken.

The two were talking excitedly, but this Hongyan opened the curtain and entered. Yun Jia looked up and saw that it was Hongyan coming, and said happily: "Brother Hongyan, you are here, come, come, I will introduce you to a new friend." ”

As soon as Hong Yan lifted the curtain, he saw Lan Qing, and couldn't help but look at Lan Qing with a stunned face: "Lan Qing, why are you here?" ”

Yun Jia and Lan Qing were surprised when they heard Hong Yan say this, and Yun Jia was surprised: "Brother Hong Yan, it turns out that you know each other?" Lan Qing also looked at Hong Yan with a little embarrassment.

Only then did Hong Yan react, Lan Qing was in the mortal world at the moment, he realized his gaffe, and after reacting, he hurriedly said, "Isn't it the new champion!" Of course I did! ”

Yun Jia touched his head and said: "It's also Ha, this champion has done a good job in Xinwu County, and his reputation is far and wide, so it's not surprising that he knows him!" ”

Lan Qing listened to their conversation and said with some embarrassment: "Let you see the laughter!" ”

Hong Yan looked at Lan Qing steadily, and then said to Lan Qing: "In the following table, Hong Yan is an idle person who wants to cultivate immortals. ”

Lan Qing also greeted: "In Xia Lanqing, it's just a depressed small county order. ”

Yun Jia laughed when he heard Lan Qing's introduction, Hong Yan's eyes flickered meaninglessly, and after all, he didn't squeak and sat down silently.

Yun Jia roughly introduced the matter he had just discussed with Lan Qing to Hong Yan, and the three of them continued to discuss. Yun Jia felt that the officialdom was dark, the people were not living, Rao was such a bumper harvest year, but the people were hungry, hungry, and unclothed.

Lan Qing and Hongyan were shocked when they heard Yun Jia's high arguments, and Lan Qing couldn't help but explain his own opinions, only to hear him say: "The country still has a law to check and balance these officials, so that the officials don't dare, and they can't stretch out their hands to the people." Now the silk reelers are starved, the farmers are starved, and the people are displaced, thanks to the control of this powerful department. ”

Hong Yan listened to Lan Qing talking on the side, and said in his heart: "This Lan Qing is really an insightful person with a city government!" ”

The three of them chatted late, and Lan Qing saw that it was late at night, and he was afraid that Le Xuan would be worried, so he got up and said goodbye. After Lan Qing left, this Yun Jia said proudly to Hong Yan: "Brother Hong Yan, what do you say about the candidate I chose this time, old man?" ”

Hong Yan was stunned, and said in his heart: "Did this Si Ming Xingjun arrange for Lan Qing to rebel in the mortal world?" Probably not! The Emperor would not have been willing to do so. Is it because I changed Yun Jia's life? He thought so in his heart, and was a little afraid, but he still echoed: "Well, that's good!" ”

Yun Jia looked at Hong Yan's casual appearance and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Hong Yan, I, Yun Jia, have lived for so long, and it is the first time I have seen such a graceful and noble person. You must know that talent is not easy, and benevolence is even more rare. ”

Hong Yan heard Yun Jia Kua Lan Qing secretly laughed in his heart: "This Lan Qing is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, where is an ordinary man, how can he not be a vulgar man!" But when he heard Yun Jia say that Lan Qing was benevolent, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but feel a little more good about Lan Qing. So he asked, "Yun Jia, what do you want to do?" ”

Yun Jia danced with some eyebrows: "Brother Hongyan, with your help, and then win over General Yunzhen, when the emperor is dumbfounded, I want to support Lan Qing as the king!" The people deserve a king who loves them! ”

Hong Yan looked at the happy Yun Jia, he didn't know what to say for a while, he was full of thoughts in his heart, thinking of the fate that Lan Qing might have in the world in the future, and he was faintly worried.
