Due to the misfortune of three successive diligent and abnormal emperors, the early dynasty of Liyang, day after day, year after year, has no end.

And because there were too many top magnates in Tai'an City yesterday who hoped and disappointed, today's court meeting did not see yesterday's grand occasion, but compared to the slightly deserted in the early autumn of the second year of Xiangfu, it was still much more lively, and at the same time, because there were more Wu Chongxuan, Gao Shizhi, and Song Daoning, three fresh people, especially Zhao Yang, the king of Changshan County who came out of the west of the sun, was also impressively listed.

The sky is not light, and the gate is not opened.

Most of the civil and military officials who are clearly gathered together are talking to each other, saying that it is the old servant Wen who can be regarded as a positive result of cultivation, and he wants to be released and promoted, and he is a first-class fat shortage!

But some people with a heart have been keenly aware that that Jin Saburo has not shown his head until now, and in the past, the Lord of the Ministry of Rites, who has a beard and a clear ambition, should have stood near the gate and talked and laughed with his colleagues. Sima Puhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Jiang Yongle, the right attendant, were originally known to both the government and the opposition to be extremely estranged, but today they got together, and even had a feeling of being their own family. This is a very rare thing, except for the military department of the changing king banner at the head of the city and the official department of the iron bucket country, who does not know the rest of the four departments of Shangshu Province, there are almost no Shangshu and Shilang who are not smiling and hiding swords? It is strange that a hundred feet is difficult to progress, and a person who is waiting to change to a chair that is close at hand but needs to be higher, can really dig out each other's hearts.

After all, when it comes to the court meeting, as long as they are not ordinary officials who are not qualified to enter the palace, taking advantage of the distance from the emperor, it is not impossible to rest, but they are not afraid of 10,000 If they lose their etiquette, it will be miserable, this is not a matter without precedent.

Suddenly, like a thousand heavy stones entering a small lake, a noise that should not have appeared quickly spread to the vicinity of the gate, and even the half-asleep elderly officials had to open their eyes.

The news came in at an astonishing speed of eight hundred miles, and he was worthy of being the most knowledgeable person in Liyang, even if the news was passed through countless mouths, and it was still accurate when it reached the vicinity of the official boss of the six departments.

It can be regarded as this solemn place at the end of the royal road, and there are a large number of women! And most of them are young women in their prime!

Different yamen, different mountains, different locations, many Huang Zi heavy ministers who were originally out of the way and treated them lively, suddenly looked extremely embarrassed, and there were several elderly ministers with gorgeous hair, so angry that their lips turned purple!

Among them, there is Yongle Hou, there is the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, there is General Annan, there is a bachelor of Chongwen Pavilion, and there is Wen Shouren, a scholar of Wuyingdian University!

Obviously, among those women who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, there happens to be this prominent and powerful junior.

Chen Wang's position was farther away from the gate than his official position, and beside him stood the champion Li Jifu, who was from a poor family.

Uncle Yan Chiji even went to stay with soldiers like Kong Zhenrong in the military department who was not treated by other departments.

Without Jin Lanting, the leader who is vaguely expected to become the leader of the new literary world, Gao Tingshu Wu Congxian and others will no longer gather together and stand in line according to the yamen to which they belong.

After Li Jifu heard the unbelievable truth, his eyes were a little straight.

Yan Chiji and Kong Zhenrong looked at each other and smiled, and secretly touched their fists with each other.

Gao Tingshu, who closely climbed the towering tree of Jin Lanting, most of the handsome people in the capital city had gloomy faces.

Tang Tieshuang walked up to Zhongshu Ling and Tan Tanweng and asked softly, "Two adults, do you want me to let people drive those women away?"

Tan Tanong hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Drive away, Tang Shilang, I advise you to forget it, the military department is already struggling, don't make trouble for yourself, be careful of being hated." Once something goes wrong, you will be poked in the backbone. ”

Qi Yanglong also smiled and said, "If you don't care about the palace side, then Lord Tang shouldn't get involved." That powerful Rouge army, to be honest, can't even be provoked by me and Tanthanon. ”

The Chinese scholar gently picked the corners of his eyes, and gloated unabashedly: "Look at our scholar Wen who is recognized by the government and the opposition as 'writing moral articles with morality', as a person in the bureau, isn't he still as immobile as a mountain?"

Tan Tanong hummed twice, and added fuel and vinegar: "Tang Shilang learns a little, this is called letting you have a storm in the sea, and I have been an old monk since I settled." ”

Tang Tieshuang, who was originally unhappy in his heart, also laughed heartily after hearing the gags of the two old men who did not match their identities, and his anger suddenly disappeared, and he had some bitter pleasure.

Tang Tieshuang had mixed feelings, remembering that when he was about to leave Duoyan Tieqi, General Gu once said with a half-truth and half-false smile that it was indeed not easy to be an official in Tai'an City, but it may not be a little interesting, if you have the opportunity to talk to those old people more, don't think that it is flattery, you can make them joke with you, you Tang Tieshuang is almost really in the capital. Otherwise, if you do the book of the military department, no matter how scary the official supplement on your chest is, you haven't crossed that threshold, and you will always be an outsider who can't make a loud voice.

In the military department, one or two high-ranking officials who were close to the Wuyingdian University Scholars, after their eyes met, they seemed to be expressionless, and the corners of their mouths were curvature.

Sure enough, our Lord Wen began to chant the scriptures and meditate.

At this time, a fat man who hurriedly jumped out of the rental carriage was completely stunned.

The groom didn't bring himself the wrong place, did he? Why are they all thieves and young girls, and all the green buildings in our capital have opened to the royal road?

The fat man who was bloated and almost slapped himself in the face of the crumbling court clothes, it hurt, it shouldn't be a dream.

The fat man shook his head vigorously, and finally sobered up a little, but when he smelled the fragrant aroma, his brain began to sink again.

He jumped a few times with the strength of breastfeeding, and was very glad that through this thick rouge wall, he could see the civil and military officials over there!

A graceful woman seemed to be dissatisfied with the fat man blocking her vision, and said angrily: "Get out of the way!"

The fat man with a gentle temperament moved a few steps sideways without saying a word, and as a result, he reprimanded several women in unison: "Get out of the way!"

The fat man was wronged, and just as he was about to continue to move in fear, he scolded other women again, "Don't move, you just stand where you are, her father is just a four-grade sesame official, don't care about her!"

The woman opposite the fat man turned her head and sneered: "What's wrong with my father's fourth-grade official, he is the middle of the imperial history! You can impeach all officials! Your father is a broken servant, it's really amazing? I'll let my father join your father when I go back!"

What is your father and my father, plus what is the squire in the imperial history, but he is just a fat man who has no power in the five grades of the country, and his cheeks tremble when he listens to it!

My mother, alas, don't care if it's the middle of the imperial history, the four-grade official is really not the size of a sesame mung bean, and a fart can kill my king's copper furnace!

Wang Tonglu wants to cry without tears, the royal road under my feet is very wide, but it is no match for you aunts and grandmothers who are already standing on the street.

delayed the time of the court meeting, and I, a little person who almost gave people a slap to the end of the five-grade Tiance sacrificial wine, really wanted to get out of the Guozi prison roll.

Wang Tonglu, who just wanted to pass through the human wall, immediately pointed to the nose of the woman in front of him, and was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Suddenly, the screams resounded in the sky.

Wang Tonglu was dumbfounded, looking at the crazy appearance of the women in front of him, who were holding their hearts or covering their faces or grabbing their hair. Why did you lose your mind and go crazy before yourself? It's me who suffers, not you!

Wang Tonglu sat on the ground, pounded the ground with both hands, and said: "It's over, even the old man will definitely not be able to protect me this time, but I haven't been able to buy a small house with big nails in Tai'an City, I haven't saved enough for my wife, my two hundred pounds of autumn fat are born, and I really can't eat it......"

Click.

Wang Tonglu raised his head and saw the aunt in front of him who was said to be her father in the middle of the imperial history, so he rolled his eyes and fell straight back, and there was no one to support him.

And the two women of the same age who hugged each other tightly behind her couldn't cry.

Wang Tonglu thought about it very carefully and seriously, or would he have fainted a hundred?

Just as Wang Tonglu weighed the pros and cons, a hand suddenly grabbed him and pulled him up.

It was like a king copper furnace that was soaring through the clouds, and turned his head blankly.

It's a handsome face that I dream of every day when I look in the mirror, smiling, the kind that can deceive women, almost the kind of realm where you can beat half the world with your face.

The man smiled and said, "Mr. Sacrificial Wine, such a coincidence, I can meet you in the two early dynasties, fate." ”

Wang Tonglu was still confused, "Hmm, what are you talking about?"

That face was full of a warm smile, "Didn't you remind this king to be more careful last time, and not to trespass the etiquette system?" ”

The hellish Wang Copper Furnace was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "It's you!"

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and I really can't fuck it this day!

In the early dynasty where the vassal kings gathered last time, it was because he was a ghost that he wanted to be a good man to the death, and as a result, he accompanied this young man to the gate, which was only two or three hundred steps away, and then he became a street rat that everyone shouted at in the country! If it weren't for the fact that the old man Tan Tanong was still offering wine in front of Zuo and helping to say a few fair words, the two hundred catties of autumn fat in his king's copper furnace would have been cut into one hundred catties long ago!

Wang Tonglu sat on the ground, and suddenly howled and cried, "Lord Wang, the lower officials beg you, there are a lot of adults, you just treat me as a stuffy fart, hold your feet high and go, the court will be less than the prince, even if it is not puffy...... Your old man spared the lower officials! The lower officials really can't stand the toss, and the sages in the book warned us that what the thousand people pointed out died without a problem, which is really wow!"

The young man wearing the python robe of the Purple Gold Domain King stood in front of the fat man and said with a smile: "Mr. Sacrificial Wine, do you still have a little bit of the style of a scholar?"

Wang Tonglu couldn't stop crying, and choked up: "Lord Wang, the lower officials want to have it, but there are old and young, and there are dozens of people in a family who want to support their families!"

A woman nearby who had an elder in the family who happened to hold a noble official position in Guozijian was more deadly than the immortal flying sword in a few words, "Aren't you the poor worm nicknamed 'Wang Luzi' in Guozijian, my uncle seems to have mentioned you as a fat man, saying that you are delusional, and in your early years, you finally saved some silver and ransomed a woman in a green building, but she ran away with a young scholar." Don't you have no wife, children, and family? My uncle also said that your fate is ill-fated, and you are a cold stove that cannot be burned even with more firewood. ”

Wang Tonglu suddenly stopped crying, quietly, silently sad.

As the Wang Tong Furnace lost its noise, there was probably such an excellent bloated green leaf foil, which set off the young Northwest Domain King who was in the wind of the jade tree and was more immortal than an immortal.

A bold woman took a step forward, her cheeks were crimson, her hands twisted the corners of her clothes to death, she bit her lip, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Lord Wang, I ...... My name is Song Yulin, the gloom of Ganlin, the lush ...... of Lin"

In fact, no one around her and the young women who kept coming in laughed at her for her slip of the tongue, because no one was listening to what she said, but the girl who realized that she was so stupid that tears were already rolling in her eyes, and she couldn't say a word anymore.

Then everyone looked at the young vassal king who was not as good as seeing it, and smiled softly at her: "Song Yulin, lush and lush, rainy and dewy." Song Yulin, hello, my name is Xu Fengnian, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

This move by the young man with a different surname has caused an unprecedented sensation.

This time, no matter how reserved and reserved a woman is, she will go crazy.

The girl named Song Yulin shook her whole body, took a few steps tremblingly, and when she stretched out her hand, she had already closed her eyes.

Xu Fengnian, who couldn't cry or laugh, hesitated, crossed her arm, let her hold her wrist, and quipped: "Men and women don't kiss, if Miss Song can't marry because of this in the future, you might as well come to our Beiliang, and I will help you introduce our good sons and daughters of Beiliang." They are very ruthless in killing the northern barbarians, but they will be good for the women they like for a lifetime. ”

The sensation was followed by an eerie silence.

Song Yulin, who was only sixteen years old, finally opened his eyes and sobbed innocently: "But I just want to marry you." ”

Xu Fengnian retracted her arm slightly, but rubbed her head, "In fact, when you really grow up, you will naturally marry a scholar, and at that time the world will be peaceful, and you will live a real peaceful life with him." Of course, don't forget, at that time, we in Beiliang, there would also be scholars who were rich and rich. ”

Everyone present couldn't imagine at this time that at that time when it was no longer the year of Xiangfu, the world was really peaceful, so peaceful that it went from Tai'an City to Beiliang Qingcang City, and even to the Beimang Southern Dynasty in the past, all the way unimpeded. There is a woman named Song Yulin, who really found a reader in Beiliang, although the scholar is not named on the gold list, in the end he is just a shy private school gentleman, but the husband and wife respect each other like guests, from the bride to the groom, to the white head to the white head.

In the early morning of Tai'an City, when the young vassal king half-dragged and half-dragged the miserable fat man through the flow of people, there were still many women who did not come back to their senses.

As if resigned to his fate, Wang Tonglu, who was in a low mood, drooped his head and said nothing.

Xu Fengnian let go of his hand, "Okay, I'll go first, and you can follow from afar." ”

Wang Tonglu looked at the sharp knife eyes not far away, shook his head and said: "It's useless, those officials have very good eyes, reading and literacy may not be good, but they can pick the wrong ones the most." ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "It's not that there is no way, I kicked you away, you don't even have to go to the court, and you can have a reputation that fell from the sky, how about it? Mr. Sacrificial Wine, relax, I will use skill, you have a lot of autumn fat, it will hurt for a long time at most, and you will never hurt your muscles and bones." ”

Wang Tonglu grinned, "Lord Wang, forget it, I walked away from the ghost gate back then, and it was a big deal to be a lifetime of Tiance sacrificial wine, anyway, it was enough to feed myself...... Anyway...... Anyway, the girl got married. ”

Xu Fengnian glanced at him and asked, "I used my whole body to redeem her, and finally made wedding clothes for others, and the bamboo basket was empty, did you regret it?"

Wang Tonglu sighed, and then looked indifferently at the Longtan Tiger's Den in front of him, and said: "There must be regrets, I am not a saint, but I don't regret it so much, the woman I like, the most unfortunate thing to know that she is still happy, is the luck in the misfortune, just like I even have two yuan of infinite scenery, but I almost failed to pass the Jinshi, and finally succeeded in entering the Guozijian, and I can read books for a lifetime without spending money, isn't it good." It's the same thing, old man...... Well, it's Tantanon, his old man said that the living can't suffocate urine, this kind of thing can't be read in books, but I remember it in my heart. ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Well, it is worthy of being said by Tan Tanong to be a sacrificial wine gentleman with a pound of meat and a pound of knowledge, but he is more open than ordinary people." ”

Wang Tonglu blurted out: "Do you think I want to be so sudden!"

The fat man trembled and quickly shrunk his neck.

The two people with very different identities once again walked together on this royal road.

The fat man turned his head to look at the women who were still reluctant to disperse, and sighed: "Lord Wang, it's really like a dream." It is the first time in his life that Xia Guan has experienced this kind of battle, and he will definitely not encounter it in the future. ”

The fat man muttered in his heart, I hope I don't meet again!

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "I'm pretty much the same, this kind of thing is not much easier than facing tens of thousands of iron riders in Beimang." ”

The fat man looked incredulous and said, "How is it possible!"

Xu Fengnian said: "Don't believe it, I used to spend a lot of money on visiting Qinglou, and I spent more than ordinary people. However, the skin was thickened at that time, and later, after listening to more of your Liyang's scolding, I became more accustomed to it. By the way, have you ever scolded me since the last court meeting?"

The honest and honest Wang Tonglu subconsciously said: "The scolding must be ...... in private."

Wang Tonglu suddenly said categorically: "No, absolutely not!"

Xu Fengnian teased: "Yo, you can still make the rudder when you see the wind." ”

Wang Tonglu muttered in a low voice: "I am good at this way, and when I meet those old foxes who are slippery thieves, I have no eggs." ”

As the two of them walked slowly, Wang Tonglu could already vaguely recognize the identity of the face of the official at the front.

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "You really don't want to be bitter?"

Wang Tonglu Heaven and Man fought, and the two thighs became heavier and heavier.

Just when Xu Fengnian was a little unbearable to help him make a decision, this young official of the Guozijian who was sturdy in autumn clenched his fists, "It's too late, Lao Tzu will be hard once today!

Xu Fengnian asked, "Lao Tzu?"

Wang Tonglu said quickly: "Xiaguan!"

Xu Fengnian was amused and played with taste: "Whether you believe it or not, this time is different from last time, you will only be promoted and make a fortune, and you will not lose your official hat." ”

Wang Tonglu said sincerely: "Don't, don't say that, prince! It's okay not to say it, as soon as he said that the lower official had hope, his teeth chattered." ”

As Xu Fengnian approached the gate more and more, those officials began to retreat.

Wang Tonglu said to himself: "The last time I walked in the clouds, I didn't realize the feeling of the fox and the fake tiger, now I am dead, Wang Tonglu, the waist is straight!

Then Wang Tonglu heard the words of the vassal king who couldn't hate it, and Wang Tonglu was about to talk to him about a few words of courage, and then ...... There is no one around me!

Wang Tonglu immediately returned to his original shape, subconsciously turned around, and then ran away, and the other consequences were out of control!

At this time, an old man shouted, "Wang Copper Furnace!"

It was like being cast by an immortal, and when he heard that voice, the fat man stopped, twisted his neck, and saw the old man walking briskly.

The old man kicked this guy and said with an angry smile: "King sacrifice wine, king sacrifice wine, forget the pain of the scar, right? I didn't know whether to live or die and walk side by side with the vassal king once, and you are still addicted?!"

Wang Tonglu tried to reach out and wipe his tears and pretend to be pitiful, but unfortunately he found that there were no tears, so he had to laugh dryly: "Old man, it's really not that the lower official wants to get up, and when the lower official gets out of the car, he first blocks those girls and young ladies and can't get in, and then pulls the prince in." ”

Tantanon squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, "Oh, why don't you know how to pretend to be dead?"

Wang Tonglu scratched his head and said: "Xiaguan patronized and broke out in a cold sweat, I didn't expect this stubble, and then I didn't walk here in the blink of an eye, and then I thought about it, I just broke the jar and broke it, what do others love it." ”

Wang Tonglu wanted to cry without tears and said: "Old man, do you want to send the Buddha to the west and save the official again?"

Tantanon sneered: "It's hard to say whether you are a Buddha or not, but if you want to go to the Western Heavens, you must not need to be sent off." ”

Wang Tonglu was waiting to be killed.

Tantanon said angrily: "Okay, follow me." ”

The dead fat man smiled.

The old man asked softly, "What did the kid surnamed Xu tell you?"

The fat man smiled and said: "I forgot all about it, I can't think about it for a while, and when the old man brings the official into the door, I must think about it at the court meeting, and I will report to the old man when I turn around." ”

Tantanon was impressed and said, "It's enlightened!"

The fat man was stunned, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said in a low voice: "Old man, I think about it a little! Finally, the prince seemed to say something before leaving, Xu ...... When Lao Liang Wang walked the royal road for the first time, no one around him wanted to go along, so he ...... The first time the prince didn't count, the second time was that there were really people who were not afraid of death to follow, so he didn't bother to 'kneel in the court, and enter the palace with a sword'. ”

Tan Tan Weng's eyes were shining, he laughed, took Wang Tonglu's hand and walked quickly to Qi Yanglong's side, and then Tan Tan Weng said a few words to Lord Zhongshu Ling, his face was strange, there was an expression that I can't win against you but someone can crush you.

Wang Tonglu saw that the unattainable Lord Shoufu of this dynasty stared at him and laughed a few times, and slapped him on the shoulder, "Wang Tonglu, Wang Da sacrificial wine, right?

Wang Tonglu's shoulders were crooked, he swallowed his saliva, and said with a pale face: "Small sacrificial wine, Xiaguan is a small sacrificial wine, a very small sacrificial wine!"

Qi Yanglong smiled and said, "I heard that the guy surnamed Xu didn't even bother to participate in the court meeting because of you?"

Wang Tonglu's eyes rolled sharply, and he slapped his chest and shook the sky, "Absolutely not!"

Lao Tzu is so witty, witty.

Wang Tonglu admired himself a little, annoying the old man Tan Tanong, the big deal was scolded so bloody that he was kicked to death, but if he angered this former Qi Da Sacrificial Wine, not to mention two hundred catties of meat, even if he had two thousand catties of autumn fat, it would not be enough to cut it!

Tan Tanong was stunned for a moment, and then jumped to his feet and scolded: "The king of the dog's day, the copper furnace, the white-eyed wolf cub who can't be raised! You fucking get out of the door to the province today, see that Lao Tzu can't clean you up!"

Wang Tonglu opened his mouth wide.

Qi Yanglong's smiling face was kind, and he gently patted the young fat man's shoulder, "Don't listen to Tan Tanweng's nonsense, his voice is loud, it's useless! ”

The fat man looked left and right, then lowered his head and whispered: "Lord Zhongshu Ling, Xiaguan has thought about it very carefully, and still thinks that it is better to go to the door to save it." ”

The fat man with his head down didn't see the two old men looking at each other and smiling, and they all nodded quietly.

Huan Wen kicked the fat man again, "Get out of the way of his colleagues in the National Prison, don't be an eyesore here." ”

With the size of Wang Tonglu, the fart is trotting up, which is really no different from rolling.

Huan Wen turned to look at the gate, "Mr. Qi, when the war in Guangling Road subsides, I will resign and return to my hometown, and I will ...... in the future."

Qi Yanglong interrupted Tan Tanweng's words and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I'll try to hold out for a few more years." ”

Huan Wen suddenly said sadly: "Blue-eyed, blue-eyed, you still lost." ”

Qi Yanglong shook his head and said: "Huan Wen, you are wrong, it seems that one person loses and the world wins, but in fact, it is the world that loses and one person wins." I Qi Yanglong believes that in the next hundred and thousands of years, many people will turn the pages of books about us, and they will turn over them, but Zhang Julu, this blue-eyed child, will make people slowly turn back to those pages in the dead of night, and read them carefully a few times, maybe they will regret a sentence: Why is there no wine to drink at the table?"

Huan Wen muttered: "It would be better to have a plate of peanuts at hand." ”

――――

Many years later, the sound of firecrackers said goodbye to the end of winter, and Tantaon on the sickbed, no one could hear the dying words.

Old man, do you have any wine? Do you have peanuts?

――――

In the second year of Huan Wen's death, the new emperor of Liyang rehabilitated Zhang Julu, the first person in the Yonghui period, and posthumously crowned An Guogong.

A gentle woman with a child who could already recite many Confucian scriptures looked at the row of graves and asked her son to kowtow in turn.

In the end, the mother and mother sat side by side in front of a tablet engraved with the name of Zhang Bianguan, and the child, as in previous years, read aloud for his father, for his grandfather, for the mother and son and the Zhang family other than a woman.

Farther away, the Emperor and Empress of Liyang, who stood without any obedience, did not dare to disturb.

――――

There was an old man who had returned to the countryside, in a snowy twilight, staggering, not to the Anguo cemetery, which only had the mother and wife to sweep the grave, but not to the lack of wine, but to a small grave that was far from being extremely glorious.

In front of the monument, he poured a glass of wine and put a plate of peanuts.

――――

Just after the old man left, there was another provincial official who resolutely resigned.

For the old man he often talked about, he added wine and peanuts.

Sitting alone in the snow all night.

――――

Maybe some people have not died yet, and they have never been so chic to wash their clothes.

But these Liyang scholars are still worthy of Liyang in the end.
