Chapter 139, Square Gate
Time is like a white horse, slipping through the fingers, inadvertently.
But just like in a gentle river, there will be waves from time to time, and in such a calm day, there will be inadvertent surprises.
"Wow!"
Fang Rui received a message from Hongyan: "Yu Qian, that kid, has entered Zixiao Pavilion!" ”
There are many correspondence between him and his own students, so he naturally knows: After Yu Qian entered the officialdom, he made achievements in the local area for ten years, and served in the imperial court for five years, and now, he is only in his early thirties, and he is already about to enter Zixiao Pavilion.
This is also the youngest batch in history.
Knock knock! Boom!
In Shangluo City, gongs and drums are noisy, and large fireworks are blooming.
The light curtain held up by the 'Chaos Four Elephant Flags' circulated, reflecting the water of the Luohe River into the sky, sparkling and fluctuating, and countless golden flowers and shadows fell from the sky.
Everywhere in the city, it was visible, and the sound of discussion sounded all over the city.
"Strange! Weird! At this time, it is not the time when the state examination list is released, why did the 'Luohe Tianbang' suddenly come out? Someone was amazed.
"yes, didn't you make a mistake?"
"Two brothers, see clearly, this is not 'Guibang', what falls from 'Guibang' is the light and shadow of osmanthus flowers, but this time it is a golden flower." It's a good look.
"There should be something big. Zhong Lao is well-informed, can he know what the sign is? ”
"Could it be ......"
A white-bearded old man seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he stroked his beard and said, "If my guess is correct, it should be that someone from my Shangluo City has entered Zixiao Pavilion, which is a great thing!" ”
"Hurry! Hurry! Another person entered Zixiao Pavilion, I went to Luo Mingjiao to prosper, and today I should go to Goulan to listen to music. ”
"I just don't know which dragon and phoenix it is? Why haven't you come out yet, I'll go to the door and get close. ”
"Don't worry! Don't worry! Results soon followed. ”
……
A grand celebration procession, after going to Yu's house, beat gongs and drums to Fang's house.
"Brother Fang, you are Qian'er's teacher, he can have today, he is very creditable, you have eight points alone!"
Yu Song held Fang Rui's wrist and said excitedly.
"Where? It's his qualifications that are good. Fang Rui shook his head.
"No matter how good the qualifications are, you must also be educated the day after tomorrow, anyway, I have identified Brother Fang, Brother Fang, you should share this glory with me and Qian'er!"
Yu Song laughed and insisted.
Not long after.
The energy of the 'Primal Golden List' broke through the sky from the Great Yu Divine Capital and collided with the light curtain derived from the 'Chaos Four Elephant Banners', generating a bright golden pillar of light that went straight into the nine heavens.
Around that pillar of golden light, the field of vision was full of colorful light that bloomed like fireworks.
Then, in that pillar of golden light, the figures of Yu Qian, Fang Rui, and Yu Song, one in front of and two behind, rose up, overlooking Shangluo.
This scene is really: countless times more beautiful than the 'laurel nomination'!
……
"The one who entered the Zixiao Pavilion turned out to be ...... Yujia Qilinzi?! As expected, as expected! One sighed.
"I remember, it was the prodigy who was nominated at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and now, fifteen or sixteen years have passed, and time flies so fast."
"Tsk, what a scene! If I had done so, it would have been worth dying at once. ”
"Behind Yu Ge Lao, one of those two people I know, is his father, a merchant. The other is ...... How do you look familiar? The man muttered.
"It's Master Fang, you don't even recognize this?" Someone immediately spoke.
- Fang Rui still has a good reputation in Shangluo City.
"At the beginning, Cai Lao asserted that among Master Fang's students, in forty years, there would be those who would enter the Zixiao Pavilion, and now his assertion has come true!"
"Master Fang, strange people too! Hey, man, why are you so excited? ”
"Haha, my doll is a student of Master Fang, and he can be called a senior brother for the elder of the pavilion, if he enters the officialdom one day, this is the arm of the same teacher!"
"It's a pity that I can't enter the door of Master Fang."
When a person next to him heard this, his tone was extremely envious: "Under Master Fang, there are really many talented people, and in the future, the officialdom of Dayu may become a force of its own, saying: Fangmen." ”
……
Fang family.
Fang Xue's head was full of silver hair, and he looked up with a kind smile: "Brother Rui's father, he has been hanging pots to help the world all his life, but I didn't expect it to be his turn, but he abandoned medicine and followed literature, and he was full of peach and plums." ”
"Brother Rui is out on his own, Auntie, and you teach it well." The third lady said, looking at the sky with beautiful eyes.
In the tone of the two, there is pride and honor.
Backyard.
Fang Ling and Nan Nan stood side by side.
"Brother is amazing!"
"Mmmm, it's always been, Brother Ari can do anything."
The bright eyes like autumn water, without blinking, reflected the brilliance on the sky.
"If it weren't for my brother......" Fang Ling shook his head slightly and didn't continue.
But Nan Nan understood what Fang Ling didn't say: If it weren't for Fang Rui being so good, with comparison, how could they look down on others and never want to get married?
Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. People, when you are young, you can't meet people who are too amazing!
……
Yu Qian entered the cabinet, and his reputation spread in Shangluo City, causing a huge sensation.
Not only was the Yu family stepped on the threshold, but even the Fang family was brought with them.
pull relations; Giving gifts and asking for apprentices; I hope to use Fang Rui's relationship to seek Yu Qian's ......
Annoying.
Fang Rui simply closed the door, greeted the porter, and politely refused all these visitors.
He doesn't like trouble, and he doesn't like to cause trouble to others.
But ordinary people can block it, but their own students can't stop it, and these students don't deliberately do more, just go to the door to be more diligent, and there are many people, and they spontaneously form a relationship network with the teacher as a link.
The name of Dayu officialdom 'Fangmen' has gradually spread since then.
……
Another decade later.
Led by Yu Qian, he set off an innovation in the court for martial arts and court spirits, and the new policy began in January, encountering a wave of opposition.
Under the fierce counterattack of the opposition, Yu Qian was imprisoned and sentenced to beheading.
When the government rests, people will die.
Historically known as the 'January New Deal'.
……
Shangluo.
Originally, the Yu family, which was full of people in the market, became stinky shit, and everyone was afraid to avoid it, and even the Fang family was a lot deserted.
"Brother Fang! Brother Fang! ”
On this day, Yu Song came to him, knelt down and begged: "Brother Fang, please save my son!" ”
"Rise up with the proprietor!"
Fang Rui sighed: "I already know about this matter, I am his teacher, since I share this glory, I should naturally bear the corresponding responsibility, I will write here." ”
"It's just that whether it will be successful or not, I dare not guarantee ......"
This world-famous religion respects teachers and respects the way, especially the officialdom, if this point of reputation is lost, it will definitely not last long.
He is also the spiritual leader of the 'square gate', and he never talked nonsense in the past, and interfered more.
Therefore.
On the whole, Fang Rui's first shot was extremely heavy.
But, to be honest, this is just this time, and in the future, it won't be so easy to use.
It can be said that this shot will consume most of the favors that Fang Rui has accumulated since he taught.
Yu Song naturally knew this.
"That's enough. Brother Fang, ......"
He didn't finish his words, his tears were still in his eyes, and he knelt down with gratitude: "I'll kowtow to Brother Fang for my son." ”
"It doesn't matter, connections, favors, such external objects are like floating clouds to me."
Fang Rui stopped Yu Song and waved his hand.
It's the truth.
The connections he has made for most of his life are really like floating clouds in his eyes, and he doesn't care too much, what he really values is his own power.
Of course, I don't care if I don't care, but this is an important chip after all, and after Fang Rui weighs it, he is still willing to throw it for Yu Qian.
'Yu Qian, a disciple, I understand, remember feelings, value righteousness, this time, it can be regarded as an investment! He sighed inwardly.
……
Ten years later.
Dayu Shenjing, when the sun rises.
The 12 cores of the 'Fangmen' took the lead, entangled with 72 Beijing officials, and jointly wrote a letter to Yu Qian, saying that 'Yu Ge Lao is selfless, and his heart is like the sun and the moon, and the Holy Emperor has a saying: Don't be convicted because of words, don't kill people because of different political views, and you can't die......
Seventy-two people recited righteous songs together, breaking through the 'Taichu Gold List' Tianxinjian, and the 'Haoran Qi' went straight to Xiaohan.
When the 'Emperor Taishi' heard the shock, he said: "Since he is selfless, he must not be a traitor, and Yu Qing's crime will not lead to death." If Taizu decreed, it should be pardoned. ”
In the end, Yu Qian was pardoned and released to the barren state.
History said: Fangmen seventy-two sages died.
……
Fang Rui's letter stirred up such a storm, making countless people in Shangluo City re-examine him.
The name of 'Square Gate' was a big hit for a while.
Fang family.
"Alas!"
Fang Rui sighed: "Yu Qian's kid is upright, and he is not too close to the other disciples under my sect, this time they made a move, it was really for my face." ”
"Well, most of the core twelve people are voluntary, and the others, I'm afraid most of them are voluntary, and they are coerced by fame."
"However, this is the first time it is good, and the next time it will not work."
Even if he could, he wouldn't dare.
"Yu Qian, Yu Qian, you are so self-conscious, I can't save you next time." Fang Rui looked in the direction of the wasteland and muttered.
……
After that, Yu Qian was in charge of the party, forgot to sleep and eat, and three years later, he was promoted to the center with merit.
Because it is within the scope of the rules, even if many people are not used to him and are very unhappy, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.
In fact, as long as Yu Qian gives up the New Deal, his career may not open up another situation, but if he can really give up, it will not be him.
This time.
Yu Qian learned a lesson, and he didn't take a big step to get to the egg, and he was a little bit tempted, but the reform of martial arts and imperial court spirit masters was really taboo, and at the slightest sign of it, he was attacked again by the group and suppressed and released.
In this way, there are three ups and three downs.
Yu Qian's body, under the devastation of the case, could no longer hold on, and he fell seriously ill in his early fifties, and Zhishi returned to Shangluo to recuperate.
……
After returning to Shangluo, Fang Rui gave Yu Qian's diagnosis and treatment, but he was also dedicated.
However, Yu Qian is not a martial artist, and his condition is even worse than when Zhou Changfa was at the beginning.
It's only half a year, and it's the last moment.
this day.
Fang Rui was pretending to go out, ready to send his student on his last journey, and he also had a hunch that many doubts accumulated in most of his life would be answered.
……
Outside the city of Upper Los Angeles, Luoyun Pavilion.
At this height, you can see that under the bloody remnant sun of autumn, the Luo River is surging, and the birds are flying high.
It really is: the autumn water is the same color as the sky, and the sunset and the lonely bird fly together.
"Master Fang is here?!"
Yu Qian stood up to greet him and gave a disciple salute.
Yes, Yu Ge Lao, who is famous all over the world, respected and hated by countless people, has an extremely respectful attitude in front of Fang Rui.
If those people see this scene, they are afraid that their eyes will fall to the ground.
"You...... Alas, sit down! ”
Fang Rui took a deep look at his student: he was wearing a cloth shirt, his body was thin and thin, his face had an abnormal red light, but his spirit was very good.
"Today, there is no master and apprentice, so let's talk freely to each other."
Two gray-haired people, sitting opposite each other behind the stone table, a pot of turbid wine rippling, reflecting the birds and the sunset.
"You!"
Fang Rui sighed, with a look of memory on his face: "I still remember that on the first day I accepted you as a student, I reminded you that you must learn the way to survive. ”
"But you...... I don't know how to be compassionate to myself. ”
"When you were young, you were rumored to be a prodigy, studying hard, forgetting to sleep and eat; and long, entered the officialdom, was burdened by the case, and forgot to sleep and eat...... I also heard that you fought the flood in Jiangzhou and stayed on the embankment for 36 days, eating and living with the officers and soldiers...... During the disaster relief, he personally supervised the relief of food and ate with the people......"
"The body deficit is too heavy!"
Such a physical deficit has greatly shortened Yu Qian's lifespan, not to mention his medical skills, even if the supernatural power 'dead wood is evergreen', it has no effect.
"Master Fang, I have failed your expectations."
"My expectations? It's nothing. Just, you ...... yourself Do you have any regrets? ”
"No regrets. I am worthy of the world and the common people, but I am sorry...... Daddy ......" Yu Qian said at the end, his voice gradually lowered.
"Your father, I sent him away three years ago, and today, it seems that I will send you away."
Yes, Yu Song has gone, and he is seventy years old, and in this era, he can be regarded as a long life.
"It's just death, didn't the teacher teach me, who has not died since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat, why is he afraid of death?"
Its voice was as sonorous as a golden stone, which made Fang Rui inexplicably think of the original Yuan Haogu.
"I'm not as good as you."
He shook his head slightly: "That's it, don't talk about this, I told you that I also have selfish intentions for your teaching and help, just to get some answers before you die." ”
"These problems, such as the 'poisonous aura' mentioned to me by the patriarch, and the 'calamity' of the state every few years in this Dayu territory......
"Dare to ask, why does the teacher want to know this?" Yu Qian asked.
He is not curious, but: he is responsible for the common people in the world.
"I won't hide it from you, I was born in Yunzhou, and I witnessed the disaster fifty years ago when there was a great drought in the three states in the south...... Later, he also made a silver medal in Huaiyin Mansion in Wuzhou...... Later, I arrived at Shangluo. ”
"When I was at the bottom, I saw the world like a chess game; In the middle layer, all you see is cannibalism. ”
"Now, I am seventy-six years old, and I want to ask, what does this world look like in your eyes?"
Fang Rui looked at Yu Qian: "You may be satisfied with being a teacher?" ”
It's the truth.
Yu Qian has the 'Heavenly Heart Seal' and can clearly perceive it.
"The teacher treats me like a mountain, and I will not refuse such a thing that does not violate my heart. Anyway, I told my teacher about these things along with my aspirations. ”
Sure enough, Yu Qian knew this! ’
Fang Rui sighed secretly and sat upright.
Actually, this is not surprising.
Zixiao Pavilion is the top level of Dayu's governance, and many secrets naturally have to be explained clearly in order to unify their thoughts and work in one place.
"That's a long story."
Yu Qian slowly spoke: "The ancient heavens have changed, the big black sky has suddenly invaded, and our world has been invaded by half of it...... Somehow, Daikokuten changed the nature of the aura, so that it would be attracted to negative emotions......"
"And the aura is poisonous, it does not refer to this, but to the fact that after the nature of the aura changes, when the ancient spiritual cultivators face the outer gods, the spiritual power in the body will rebel and riot, and the power led by the Holy Emperor will pay a heavy price for this......"
Click!
With these words, the Tianxin Seal hanging from his waist bloomed into a crack, and a trace of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
"Yu Qian, you ......"
"It doesn't matter, I'm a dying person, and it's worth it to repay the teacher a thing or two. If the teacher has any questions, just ask. ”
"Heaven changes, alien invasion, is it so?! In this way, the Holy Emperor still won in the end, but how did he avoid 'Poisonous Aura'? ”
"It's a very simple question. Because: the Holy Emperor is inhuman! ”
