Lian Chung met a monk from the mountains by chance, and a conversation diluted his sorrow for several days. It's just that as soon as the monk left, the rain for days reminded him of his sorrow. On this day, he went to Liu Daoqian's house to steal wine, and accidentally saw Liu Miao covered with gauze, but he was hugging a young maid, as if he was making love. He was aroused by a hint of nostalgia, but he was no longer nosy. took four jars of wine straight away, returned to the first snow building, and got drunk again. It's no wonder that today there is not only a piano, but also a flute sound. The sound of the piano is already like a heavenly sound, and the sound of the flute should be well harmonized, so a drunk like Lian Chung can't help but follow the tune, and the fugue is too empty.

At the end of the month and the beginning of the month, a large group of scholars suddenly came to the first snow building. It turns out that there is a "Orchid Club" today, which is a grand event for some famous local bachelors to gather and talk. This orchid will be held once every three months, and in recent years, it has been held in the pavilion of the Oiran Su Qianxue Water Pavilion in the early snow building, which happens to be the one that has slept for half a month. The pavilion was so wide that it could accommodate a hundred or so people to drink and feast calmly. The lake breeze is gusting and very cool. There are more than a dozen tables of eight immortals on it, all of which are made of nanmu. Today, because of the coming Jiangnan celebrity Zhou Zhiru, it is particularly lively, and those tables are almost full, only the front one remains. Lian Chung had nothing to do, so he carried an osmanthus duck and lay on the roof beam, listening to them talk about how the government was doing.

It's now the fourth year of Great Xia Taihe. More than 100 years since the founding of the country, Daxia has always been open-minded, widely open-minded, and has never been guilty for words, so there are many people who like to talk about the government. There was a commotion in the water pavilion. After a while, there were three rings around the presiding table, and everyone quieted down.

A beautiful woman came out of the water pavilion, walked in front of everyone gently, and after a blessing, she stood aside and smiled silently, only stretched out her hand and led it forward. There was another one in the back. But seeing this woman's snow-skinned and jade face, she is gentle and charming, and she is generous. Wearing an ice silk skirt, there is an eight-treasure crested jade hairpin inserted in the green silk. This is the owner of this room, Su Qianxue. Everyone was about to say hello, and two brocade-robed sons came out behind Su Qianxue. A man in his early twenties, handsome and extraordinary, dressed in a Jiangnan water silk bachelor's robe, with black hair tied up with a gold ring, and a piece of Hetian jade around his waist, which was smooth and clear. In addition, there is no decoration. The other was younger, wearing a one-color robe, but with a nine-ring coiled dragon ice jade pendant around his waist, and a Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand. Later, it was Zhou Zhiru, a well-educated scholar, who brought a boy in Tsing Yi. Su Qianxue had never been so close to a man, and everyone was surprised. She didn't wait for everyone to ask, and said, "Gentlemen, you are here today, and the light snow is full of glory." The imperial court has heard that you are wise, and today a special envoy was sent to listen to your opinions. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz in the water pavilion. Some of them pretended to be calm, some were overjoyed, some were anxious, and some whispered. Only the children of the Zhou family were not surprised when they were informed in advance.

The wind watcher was sent by the Great Xia court to watch the wind and observe the people's feelings. Although he has no real power, he can reach the heavens. That's fine, one of the purposes of the founding emperor to set up the official position of Guanfeng envoy was to "make the township unprecedented". That is to say, the wind observation envoy can send talents to the imperial court. This position is very noble, and the person who is responsible for observing the wind is either a scholar or a royal nobleman. As soon as Su Qianxue got straight to the point and introduced this, everyone became eager.

The older handsome boy waved at everyone and said, "In Xia Li Xuan, under the order of Zhang Saijiu, the prince of the country, he came to the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, visited the people, and recommended talents. You don't have to be formal. Please also speak freely and show your strengths. Even if you can't show what you've learned today, there's no need to be in a hurry. In the next will be in Suzhou for a few days. ”

Su Qianxue continued: "Today's topic is 'those who mislead the country'. Throughout the ages, in all dynasties and dynasties, whenever the wind and rain are in turmoil, there are always those who are treacherous and evil, or open the door to thieves, or disrupt the government, or form a party for personal gain, and harm the loyal and good. Today, we will discuss these wicked people. What she said was Wu Nong's soft words, coupled with a gentle tone and a charming face, even when she said such words as a traitor, it made people feel like a spring breeze.

Immediately there stood up below. When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Zhao Yuanliang, the new imperial examination son of this year. This Zhao Yuanliang is in his early twenties, dressed in white and dressed in a scarf, chic and dusty. He arched his hand towards everyone and said, "I foolishly think that since ancient times, the most misguided people are none other than ministers and eunuchs. When you don't see Qin, Zhao Gao and Chang messed up the court, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong of the Zhu Dynasty controlled the court, and Yingzong of the previous dynasty was taken to the north by Wang Zhen for a year, and lost the country. Others, such as Cao Jixiang, Wei Zhongxian, Li Lianying, etc., are all temporary disasters, jackals of the country. The eunuch's body is crippled, so his temperament is tyrannical, and he has no human nature. Evil to the Son of Heaven, down to the ministers, to go back and forth with friends, to kill Zheng Liang. It is thought that the country is harmful, and the eunuch is the most fierce. Zhao Yuanliang spoke eloquently, and everyone couldn't help but bow their heads.

As soon as he sat down, another person stood up and said: "What Mr. Zhao said is indeed reasonable, but I foolishly think that the harm of the eunuch is not as good as that of the foreign relatives." No matter how close the eunuch is to the emperor, it is not as good as a family with a foreign relative. As the saying goes, the strongest pillow wind in the world. It is true that eunuchs are in trouble, and there are even more victors in the woe of foreign relatives. Mr. Zhao enumerates the eunuchs who have been in trouble, and the unscrupulous relatives are listed ten times? Not to mention anything else, is it just like the 'uncle of the West Palace' who is greedy and lascivious, and has done evil things less than the eunuchs? How did the previous dynasty die? Is it not that the queen's uncle rebelled, causing turmoil in the mountains and rivers and making the people miserable? The ministers are in trouble, the disease of mustard moss, and the relatives are in trouble, and the disease of the people is in danger. If the court is small, the court will not be quiet, and the people will not be able to make a living; if the country is large, the country will be ruined, and the country will change its surname. When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Wen Zhiguan, a professor of Fuxue.

Wen Zhiguan claimed to be a distant cousin of Wen Daoyuan, and from time to time he also went to Beijing to visit his relatives, but he never saw Wen Daoyuan come to Suzhou to visit. Wen Daoyuan has an old grudge with the brother of the West Palace Niangniang. This nephew satirized Xigong Bahu and called him 'Xigong Uncle Guo'. His words were clearly selfish, and the people ignored them. There was a Zheng Zezhi, who was also a professor of Fuxue, who stood up and said loudly: "Inner eunuchs and foreign relatives, where does the power in your hands come from? If the emperor is mediocre and the emperor is not strict, he will inevitably accumulate small nights, and be loyal and unjust. Whether this night is a eunuch or a relative, in fact, there is no difference. That's why you want me to say, the disaster to the country is as great as a faint king!"

The crowd applauded. When the emperor said a joke, saying that the world is undesirable, as big as the rivers are overflowing, the earth dragon turns over, and the pigs do not give birth to cubs, and mosquitoes and flies breed, all of them are kings. Li Xuan smiled and shook his head. Next, there are those who talk about powerful ministers, those who say that foreign people intrude, and those who say that corrupt officials mislead the world. Another one stood up, and it was Youjiesen, the son of the same acquaintance. This benevolent brother can be considered outstanding. Wide mouth and thin lips, thin eyes and nose, pointed beak monkey gills, ears are full of wind, and eyebrows seem to be absent. I prefer to learn from the Wei and Jin celebrities, and dress more freely than I look. The little boy next to Li Xuan covered his mouth and said, "Maung Yu, Maung Yu, this person has been sleeping for three days and three nights!" Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh and hit him. The little boy stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

You Tianxian laughed three times, earned enough eyeballs, and said: "What you say is very reasonable, but you are all biased. In fact, all generations of emperors have attached great importance to education. The Taifu invited was the most famous and learned person. Such a well-educated person will teach him, even if he can't be as heroic and martial as my son of heaven, and he won't be too stupid. In the next reading of the history books, I came to a conclusion: that is, the disasters that bring disaster to the country and the people are all women! Women, they can be used to have children. Giving birth to a baby and staying to wash dishes is a woman's virtue. If a woman is involved in political affairs, then it is not far from that, the rise and fall of the dynasty. There are even more demon clans! The demon girl is a scourge of the country and is filthy, but she is not our public enemy?" he stammered for a while, and his preface did not match the afterword, if he hadn't been the only son of Tongzhi, he would have been beaten out a long time ago. It was not a big deal to watch the excitement, and they applauded him one after another. Yu Jason was triumphant, looked at the crowd, and thanked each other. He also said: "In a short period of time, I have made a poem in the next place, and I will share it with you here to encourage you. Shiyun: Where are the beautiful beauties, there are green buildings everywhere in the world. To be a man, you have to learn from Gaolis, so that you can not leave a stink for ten thousand years!" He didn't know that Gaolishi was the eunuch of the Li Dynasty, but he just heard his name and thought he was a hero. The crowd laughed and applauded. Even Li Xuan and Su Qianxue looked at each other and smiled, and the little boy even laughed and lay on the table. Zhou Zhiru shook his head slightly.

You Jason was even more proud, and said some bad things about the demon clan, especially the fox clan, which is the most obscene by nature. He was making a big fuss, when suddenly a duck's head hit him on the head, and it was Lian Chung who couldn't stand his foul language. You Jason was about to scold, but was kicked by Lian Chung and kicked into Taihu Lake. The crowd was startled, but they didn't chase him, and they weren't very alarmed. Someone went to catch the oil poet.

Lian Song's four jars of wine today, there is still half a jar in hand. glanced at everyone, raised his hand and dried the wine first. He faced the scholars, and naturally he didn't see that little boy When he saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out to be a boy's girl I met in Fengqi Tower that day. It's just that today she listened more and talked less, and others didn't see it. She didn't catch up with Lian Chung that day, and often regretted it, but today she didn't have to work hard at all.

Everyone watched Lian Chung drinking, and there was no sound at once, and the entire water pavilion was only left with the sound of the wind and his drinking. The only thing that is a pity is that he has been unkempt for several days, and the whole person looks unruly, without a trace of pride, but it is very sad. Lian Chung drank it in one gulp, looked at everyone again, and said with a big tongue: "I don't understand those ways of governing the country." It's just that both demons and people are good and evil. Is it more important for a man or a demon than good or evil? Do you guys want to live in the same room with good demons, or do you want to sleep with evil people?"

Everyone looked at each other. Everyone in the world values the difference between shemales, and no one seems to have ever thought that demons are also good and evil. Lian Chung has been alone for a long time, many words are muffled in his heart, and the strength of the wine comes up, regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, he cries and laughs: "There is that crazy demon, who has guarded me for several years, and finally in order to save me, he didn't want his life." If you want me to be embarrassed by such a demon, I'd rather not be this person!" Thinking of Xiao Lian, and thinking of Cai Yun and Cai Wei, tears suddenly rained down. Remembering the nightmare before he recovered, he blurted out:

The frogs in the courtyard are singing and the lotus is dry, and it has been ten years since he looked at the sea. Tens of millions of snow on Penglai Mountain, full of sideburns and frost can be pitiful? If you don't have it, the lonely Hong wails in the clouds, and the idiot hugs the head in front of the painting.

Vaguely by the small window of the boudoir, the strings are clear under the jade lamp. I couldn't say anything in my dreams, and I only saw rain like smoke in my dreams. and Jun Yan, once how much lingered, now in the world.

He was struck by a feeling, and his whole body exuded a bleak atmosphere. And he took up the jar to drink. But the jar was empty. Everyone was silent, even Li Xuan seemed to feel something. The little boy followed him even more, and after reading it again, the corners of his eyes were a little wet. Su Qianxue said softly: "Son, please also mourn." What Childe said is very reasonable and indeed thought-provoking. She wanted to say anything more, but she didn't know how to say it. Lian Chung muttered: "Yes, it makes sense... There are no more people, what is the use of reason?" The wine jar was lost, his eyes were closed, and he smashed straight into the lake.

The crowd exclaimed. The little boy shouted, "Quickly fish him up!" Suddenly two figures, like electricity, went into the water to catch people.
