"Sandal...... Why did Ouyang Changshi keep sneezing. ”

"A little cold and cold, thank you for your concern."

In the Xunyang Palace, in the main hall with the door open, he was dressed in reckless clothes, looked at Ouyang Rong with a worried face, and asked for warmth.

In addition to the individual staff members of the Xunyang Palace, there are also good guides and apprentices in the lobby.

There was also a row of officials sitting in the Jiangzhou lobby.

Ouyang Rong sat at the front of this group of officials, his body was straight, like a jade mountain toppling, wearing a neat crimson official uniform, like the most noble Lixian, attracting the attention of most people in the hall.

Although sitting at the front of the official, there was still a vacant seat between Ouyang Rong and the top leader.

The current meeting in the lobby is to discuss the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha.

As the nominal Jiangnan Governor, Ouyang Rong and the Buddha-making plan of the Jiangzhou Hall, as well as the progress of implementation, need to be reported to him on a daily basis.

On the bright side of leisure, it is also necessary to "frequently ask" and express participation......

Of course, he and Ouyang Rong had to pretend to be unfamiliar with each other in public.

Tan Lang or something, naturally have to change his mouth.

And there have been seven or eight meetings like today's.

The creation of Buddha is starting to get on track.

Wang Lengran has been absent since then, except for the first game when he came over and his butt was stained on the stool.

This empty seat was symbolically reserved for him.

Wang Thorn Shi took a leave of absence from the cold, and the seats were vacant, and everyone in the lobby was accustomed to this.

It's just that today, it's not clear whether Wang Tingshi is really infected with typhoid fever, but this Ouyang Changshi seems to really have typhoid fever.

A look of concern on his face: "Ouyang Changshi is really fine?" ”

Yan Liulang, who was sitting in the back row, interjected:

"Lord Wang, the Ming Mansion was some time ago, and he frequently ran to the tip of the twin peaks and took us to inspect the layout, but the rain in the mountains came in a hurry, and he poured a soup chicken after a while.

"Ming Fu didn't care about it before, and resisted hard, but after getting wet back and forth a few times like this, it still caught a cold."

Yan Liulang's face was distressed, and he had a slightly reproachful tone:

"And the last time the folk festival was held in Xunyangdu, the Ming Mansion did not sit on the stage, but wanted to follow the customs, run down and carry the dragon head boat ashore with the boatmen, the river water was cold and biting, wet the lower body, how not to catch a cold, and ......"

"Yan joins the army."

Ouyang Rong, who was covering his mouth, frowned and interrupted.

Yan Liulang, who couldn't help complaining, had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

When everyone in the lobby heard this, their different eyes turned to Ouyang Rong.

"And this?" Lixian looked worried, and there was some reproach: "Yan didn't know how to stop when he joined the army." ”

After speaking, he stood up uneasily, and solemnly instructed the servant girl behind him:

"Come on, go and inform the princess, prepare a bowl of hot ginger soup, and in addition, the imperial doctor who stayed in the mansion asked them to follow Ouyang Changshi back to the house, and take good care of Changshi these days."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "It's just a small injury and illness, the prince doesn't need to work hard." ”

The cold and cold were the colds and fevers in his previous life, and he really only regarded it as a minor illness, in his previous life, Ouyang Rong was too lazy to take the medicine, and he was used to carrying it with his body.

It's just that in this world, this kind of cold and minor illness is enough to kill people.

It's not surprising that Lai Liulang's worries are scared and solemn.

"Ouyang Changshi, don't talk about it again, this king listens to you about making Buddha, but you have to listen to this king in this matter."

has always been gentle and leisurely, and his tone was surprisingly tough, which surprised Ouyang Rong and everyone.

seemed to be aware of the surprised eyes in the lobby, and hurriedly let go of his tone, and patted Ouyang Rong's sleeve cordially:

"These few days are the cold of spring, and it is warm and cold, Ouyang Changshi should cherish his body, so that he can better be loyal to His Majesty and build a good Donglin Buddha."

Ouyang Rong had no choice but to get up and salute respectfully: "Thank you for the care of the prince." ”

Yan Liulang and other officials praised King Xunyang for his thoughtfulness.

After a while, Wei Mei walked in with the maids and gave a bowl of steaming ginger soup.

Ouyang Rong took the bowl, frowned slightly, swallowed a few mouthfuls of bitter soup, and exhaled a long breath of hot air.

In fact, his body of practicing Qi Shi Jiupin, which is quite tough, is quite difficult to infect.

It's just that the excavation of the twin peaks and the construction of the Xunyang Grottoes, which are busy at hand, are indeed complicated and busy.

The workload is several times more than the previous folding wing canal.

He's been spinning all the time lately.

Sometimes it takes more effort to work than to exert oneself.

"Sneeze ......"

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and clenched his fists to cover his mouth.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their faces to look.

The slender young man in a crimson five-grade official uniform raised his hand and rubbed his slightly red nose,

He was tall, with his hands on his sleeves, his head slightly shrunk in a fluffy fox white shawl, his eyelids were shrugged, and his expression was a little sickly.

It's just that in the eyes of everyone, this sick face falls on this handsome and thin face, which shows a more melancholy and decadent temperament.

A certain official in the lobby looked at this sick man with a calm demeanor, and a word came to his mind for no reason.

The tiger walks like a disease.

After a few words of casual and caring greetings, he suddenly mentioned:

"By the way, this king heard that the scholars in Xunyang City have recently had some discussions about the creation of Buddha, and they are also a little dissatisfied with the Jiangzhou Hall, and Lord Changshi knows about it."

Ouyang Rong's hand rubbing his nose paused, put it down, took another sip of ginger soup, and asked in a casual tone:

"It seems that someone mentioned it, I don't know very well, by the way, who did the prince listen to."

Lixian sighed: "There is a scholar surnamed Yue recommended by an old man in the mansion, who often talks about this matter loudly in private, and everyone in the mansion knows it." ”

"In this way, this person has also reflected in front of the prince." Ouyang Rong nodded lightly: "Then what does the prince mean......"

Lixian turned his head to look at Ouyang Rong, and put on a solemn expression:

The king and the prince refuted him and drove him away.

"I'm not afraid of Ouyang Changshi and your jokes, why did the saint build the Great Zhou Songde Center and the Quartet Buddha statue, this king is dull and a little confused,

"But this king knows very well that the Holy Lord rules the world, loves the people like sons, loves the saints, and sets such a national policy with the princes and princes, and must have deeper thoughts.

"Ouyang Changshi and the Jiangzhou lobby are not burdened by the noise, they are immersed in their work, they are united, they do their jobs well, and they abide by their responsibilities, which is very good, and this king is very relieved."

He departed from the casual and sincere narration, and did not squint at the glances cast by other officials, staff, or some people who were secretly scrutinizing in the lobby.

Ouyang Rong's originally shrugged eyelids were raised, and he looked at King Xunyang, who was standing in public today.

He bowed slightly, and answered:

"The prince is well aware of the righteousness, and his clear arguments have made the officials enlightened.

"Wang Thorn History, the lower officials, and everyone in the official office must abide by the will of the saint and the prince, and build the Buddha without working the people and money."

Yan Liulang and other officials in the Jiangzhou hall stood up and saluted one after another.

"That's very good."

King Xunyang looked around with a look of relief.

……

Ouyang Rong walked out of the Xunyang Mansion with the officials in the Jiangzhou Hall.

It was difficult to refuse the imperial doctor who was forced to give him leisure, and he asked the imperial doctor to be sent to the Huaiye Lane Mansion to wait.

Ouyang Rong boarded the carriage and returned to the Jiangzhou lobby.

It's just afternoon, it's still a long time, and he still has a lot of things to do with the start of the Buddha statue, so he has no time to rest.

"Sneeze ......"

In the carriage, Ouyang Rong sneezed, took out a light pink handkerchief with an orchid fragrance, and rubbed his nose with his fingers.

The carriage started and left the Xunyang Palace.

He lifted the curtain and glanced at the palace.

There was still some surprise in the under-eye.

Unexpectedly, I learned quite quickly from my uncle.

Although he knew it well, he made a public statement this time, and the words he said had a thought for Her Majesty the Empress of Shendu.

But Ouyang Rong also knew that there was a purpose for him to stand on the platform.

is stabilizing the hearts of the people in the Jiangzhou lobby for him.

In addition, Lixian and Da Lang should have felt that the impassioned Yue Ziang was very tricky, and they were afraid that Ouyang Rong would misunderstand, so they hurriedly expressed their stance and cut it.

There was some warmth flowing through Ouyang Rong's heart.

The carriage passed through a busy street outside Xunyangdu.

Lifting the curtain, Ouyang Rong saw that in front of the bulletin board on the street, there were some crowds gathered.

I saw a few scholars posting big-character posters on the bulletin board, and some illiterate peddlers and pawns passing by, curious onlookers, and the scholars spoke impassionedly about the disadvantages of building the center and the Buddha statue in front of everyone.

When I came to the door of the Jiangzhou Hall, there was also a group of scholars gathered on the street outside the door.

Ouyang Rong rode in a carriage and silently passed in front of the wall of the protesting soldiers and the posters with big characters such as "water can carry boats and can also capsize boats".

Since the beginning of this month, the scholars and scholars in all the states of the world have been boiling, and the scholars and scribes have opposed the construction of the center and the Buddha statue.

The most influential conflict was half a month ago in Guizhou, one of the four prefectures of Buddha-making.

The scholars of the Guizhou government school besieged the government.

Guizhou Governor Shi Lan Changhao ordered the officers and soldiers to be forcibly driven away.

As a result, bloody clashes broke out between the two sides, several soldiers were killed, and more than 20 soldiers were imprisoned.

This incident shook the world.

Scholars from all over the world once again set off a wave of protests and clashes.

The same is true in Jiangzhou.

The news of the Guizhou case made the Jiangzhou scholars more and more indignant, and there were more scholars protesting at the gate of the official mansion, and some people took the lead in putting up big-character posters to protest that the Donglin Giant Buddha is located in Jiangzhou......

This turmoil made the officials in the Jiangzhou hall anxious.

It's just that the king of assassination is cold and rotten every day, and he can't see anyone.

Changshi Ouyang Rong also went back and forth at both ends of Shuangfeng Jian and Xunyang Palace, and was busy building the Donglin Giant Buddha in a low-key manner, and he was noncommittal about it.

The officials were helpless, and no one dared to take responsibility.

Jiangzhou Hall and Shizi, the two sides get along for the time being.

Return to the main hall of the government office.

Ouyang Rong carried a copper basin, walked to the patio, and brought a basin of water back.

Together with the officials around him, he washed his hands.

Yan Liulang handed out a towel to Ouyang Rong, followed behind him, and said indignantly:

"Mingfu, these scholars are too ignorant, endlessly.

"I have long explained to them, and I have said countless times that the Donglin Giant Buddha will not be built in Xunyang City, will not increase harsh taxes, and will affect the labor and wealth as they said, why are these scholars still chattering."

A Sicang soldier surnamed Chen shook his head and sighed:

"Don't be angry when Yan joins the army, it's useless for us to say it, the scholars are already very distrustful of the court and the government.

"It is estimated that a famous gentleman like Lord Changshi will come forward and give them repeated assurances before he can barely believe it."

Yan Liulang was speechless:

"Ming Mansion has such time to swear and promise them? And the Ming Mansion has recently had a cold, so how can you have the energy to talk a lot.

"Besides, if a few people question it, they have to come forward with the Ming Mansion, and some people question it every day, so the Ming Mansion simply don't do anything and explain it every day."

Ouyang Rong wiped his fingers carefully, turned his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, Liulang." ”

Yan Liulang shut up and suppressed his anger.

Chen Senjun's face hesitated, and he said:

"Lord Changshi, this Shilin protest, many scholars from the state school participated, it seems that a young man named Yue Ziang took the lead,

"They put forward a request, asking the Jiangzhou Hall to refuse to build the Donglin Giant Buddha, and at the same time oppose the establishment of the Great Zhou Songde Center, and stop collecting Songde copper from various states."

Ouyang Rong bowed his head slightly: "These requests are really good." ”

Yan Liulang and Chen Senjun both looked at him with stunned expressions.

After a pause, Ouyang Rong folded the hand towel and threw it back to Yan Liulang.

"If only that were the case."

He shook his head:

"The Jiangzhou Hall will properly build the Donglin Giant Buddha and will not affect the people's livelihood.

"But regarding the center of Songde of the Great Zhou, this official and the Jiangzhou hall can't control the decisions of the central court of the imperial court, which is beyond the authority of the official and can't be the master."

Yan Liulang frowned and said unhappily:

"Ming Mansion, you just passed by Xunyangdu and saw that they have begun to interfere with the order of the docks in the city.

"And I also heard that the kid named Yue Ziang has been privately criticizing the Ming Mansion these days, indicating that the Mansion is now a five-grade master, and he has begun to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and has lost his original intention...... Same with the dog officers.

"It's really nonsense, this thief is really hateful, Mingfu, I'll take the arrest over now and arrest all these guys who interfere with order and slander and spread rumors!"

"Yan joins the army, absolutely not." Chen Senjun hurriedly waved his hand and advised:

"Not long has passed since the Guizhou tragedy, the lesson is still in front of us, if the Jiangzhou lobby is also impulsive and clashes with the hot-blooded soldiers, it will be a big disaster.

"Lord Changshi and the Jiangzhou Hall will be criticized by the people of the world, and the impact is not good, maybe the imperial court will also issue a reproach and deal with us to extinguish ......public opinion."

Yan Liulang said hatefully: "Is it possible to avoid it like this?" Instead, they have become uncles. ”

Chen Senjun smiled bitterly:

"Anyway, there is the tragedy of the Guizhou scholars in the past, and now the governors of the states and counties in Jiangnan Province are reluctant to show up and clash with the scholars, and they are all avoiding the limelight, waiting for the blood of the scholars to pass......

"Actually, our Jiangzhou is quite good, at least we didn't rush into the yali to make trouble, I heard that there are some places where the people are fierce, hey, these days, I am not afraid of heroes and heroes, but I am afraid of being stunned."

After sighing for a while, Chen Senjun glanced at Yan Liulang, who hated and couldn't draw his sword, and quietly suggested:

"If Yan can't bear to join the army, it's not that he can't govern them, so take off his official uniform first, and then go quietly by some other path...... Ahem, anyway, as long as you don't use the name of the government, it's just a personal grudge. ”

Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at this daily Sven, thick-eyed and big-eyed Chen Joinjun.

Good guy, it turns out that you kid is not good at stubble.

"Alright, don't mess around."

Ouyang Rong turned around, first glanced at Chen Shenjun, and then commanded hoarsely:

"Liulang will take people to Xunyangdu, leave the knife at the official office, don't take it with you, and go and drive away the soldiers who interfere with the order of the dock."

Yan Liulang couldn't wait to ask:

"Ming Mansion, what about other places, how to deal with this group of annoying people at the entrance of the Jiangzhou Hall? I saw that they were not pleasing to the eye, and that Yue Ziang. ”

"Don't worry about them, you guys go in and out of the official office to keep a low profile, anyway, it's not in the way, don't you exist, it's hard."

"Yes." Yan Liulang nodded helplessly.

Immediately, Ouyang Rong returned to business and discussed the matter of the twin peaks, and everyone dispersed.

Before leaving, Chen Senjun remembered something, turned around and asked:

"By the way, Lord Changshi, the state school will be held in the temple of the Holy Ancestor the day after tomorrow, and all the scholars of the state school are here, do you still go to the abbot, or don't go, and stay out of the limelight for the time being like Wang Tingshi."

Ouyang Rong took a sip of hot tea, tasted it, put down the teacup, and walked out of the door without looking back:

"It's business as usual."
