Chapter 89: The Wild Unknown
Outside the window, the willow green warbler cries.
Xue Bai opened his eyes and found himself asleep in the hospitality hall of Yuzhenguan.
There was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open.
Li Tengkong also held a whisk in his empty hand, and stood outside the door as if he wanted to come in, but he stopped and glanced at Xue Bai across the threshold.
"Little lady of the hard work sect." Xue Bai got up and saluted and asked, "Is the third lady Yan okay?" ”
"Exhausted convulsions, which happens to be what I am good at, I have applied needles and boiled qi soup, so it should be fine for the time being. But she has a heart disease, and her body and bones are weak, so she is afraid that she will relapse in the future. ”
"Can it be conditioned?"
"Mrs. Yan also asked, I have already prescribed medicine, but I see that Mrs. Yan has been on guard all night, can you go and buy some medicinal herbs?" Li Tengkong said this and asked, "Are you a student of Yan Gong?" ”
"yes, I'll buy it."
Li Tengkong looked at it, Xue Bai's expression was calm, and she had already walked in front of her, she hurriedly took out a prescription from her sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Many of these medicinal materials are rare and valuable, you may not be able to find them." ”
"It's okay, run a few more pharmacies."
"Hmm."
With the dust swaying slightly, Li Tengkong turned around and walked along the corridor to the rear, with a quiet temperament and a fairy style.
After taking two steps, she looked back and saw Xue Bai descending the steps in the direction of the main entrance. She couldn't help but think to herself, he was really easy to be sent to......
Just as he could see God, he turned around.
Li Tengkong was slightly flustered, and hurriedly avoided it, stabilized his Dao heart, and left.
After observing Yan Yan's situation again, she went to rest for a while, and when she woke up, it was already afternoon, and Xue Bai had not come back yet.
Although she knew that those medicinal materials were not easy to gather, she estimated that she would have to go to some money.
When he went to the Danfang, he first picked out the medicinal materials in the view, and after a while, Xue Bai finally came.
"Please take a look at the little lady Zong, are these?"
"Buy so much?"
"If you need long-term conditioning, you might as well buy more."
"It's fine."
Li Tengkong nodded lightly, turned around and took out a medicine scale, and began to dispense medicine.
She picked up a few pieces of salvia, and when she saw Xue Bai stepping forward to help, she panicked and dropped two pieces outside the scale, but the weight of the salvia was just right.
"Herbs." She said lightly, "Don't make trouble." ”
"Okay."
There was a faint smell of medicine in the Dan room.
The medicinal taste is different from the aroma of spices, which is a little bitter, but the smell is actually pleasant, and the plants and trees are refreshing.
Li Tengkong likes this taste very much.
She inadvertently glanced at Xue Bai and found that he didn't hate the smell either.
The wind and sun outside the window are beautiful, the two of them don't say anything, they are bored and dispensing, but they can experience the peace and tranquility of the years.
"That's right." Li Tengkong suddenly opened his mouth, "I want to talk to you...... I don't cultivate because of ......"
She didn't want him to feel guilty about her ordination, and she didn't think she was because of him.
She had decided this way a long time ago.
It's just that when the words come to my mouth, I suddenly don't know how to say it.
"I know." Xue Bai said: "You have your ideals, accumulate virtue and do good, and hang the pot to help the world." ”
"Hmm."
Away from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, getting along with him like this, Li Tengkong felt a lot more relaxed.
~~
"Take these medicines first, and you will come back in a few days, or I will visit Sanniang in Yan's house when I go out to see a doctor."
"Thank you to the alchemist, the grace of saving your life, the concubine's family is unforgettable."
Wei Yun said, and Yan Yan also saluted: "Thank you for the refiner's rescue." ”
Li Tengkong smiled gently, forgetting the emotionless gesture she had been putting on today, and said: "My medical skills are not good, Master is a peerless famous doctor, and when he returns to Chang'an, he may be able to cure your illness." ”
Yan Yan's eyes lit up, showing a look of anticipation.
She was much better by this time, and she had returned to her former delicate appearance, but there was no blood on her lips.
Wei Yun wanted to keep the consultation fee several times, but Li Tengkong didn't accept it anyway, saying that he had set a rule of not accepting the consultation fee, and let her pay for the medicinal materials at her own expense.
Everyone in the Yan family had to thank them repeatedly, and take Yan Yan home first to talk.
Before leaving the Jade True Temple, Xue Bai saw a slave wearing a Taoist uniform.
Kyauknu was a little thinner, and he looked very unhappy, and when he saw him, he rolled his eyes and turned around and walked away......
~~
The carriage drove into Yan's house and stopped.
"Thank you so much this time." Wei Yun looked at Xue Bai and said with emotion: "When your teacher goes home, let him thank you well." ”
"The teacher doesn't have to be polite, it's what students should do."
At this time, Yan Yan lifted the curtain, and was carefully escorted by the maidservant to get out of the car, first raised her eyes and glanced at Xue Bai, her eyes were a little puzzled, and then she thanked her in a proper manner.
"Brother Xie's life-saving grace."
Although she is playful, she is indeed very sensible.
Xue Bai smiled, stopped bothering, and turned to go home.
The next day, he went to Yan's house again, asked about the situation, and said that the teacher was not there, and he could be sent at any time if there was anything.
After finishing these things, he remembered that Jinke Chunqiu was about to be released.
~~
"What have you been busy with these two days? I won't go to Guozijian either, do you know that the list is released today? ”
"I know, I'm going to see the list."
"I think I'm going to have to remind you ......"
Early in the morning, Du Wulang specially rushed to Changshoufang and went to the imperial city with Xue Bai.
There are a lot of people on the long street on the list day, and even the little ladies who don't go out on weekdays are also persistent in going out to choose a son-in-law.
Xue Bai has not yet arrived at Anmenmen, and he has been mistaken for the current imperial examination, and many colored notes have been stuffed in his hand inexplicably, inviting him to come to the door to propose his relatives.
This is implicit, and I heard that it is even more exaggerated to catch a son-in-law under the list.
When they arrived at the Rite Tribute Courtyard, the front was too crowded, and the horses couldn't pass, so the two turned over and dismounted.
"I'll go to the country to tie the horse, you can take it."
Before Du Wulang could react, a large stack of colored notes had been stuffed in his hand.
"Hey, you're ......"
Suddenly, the bells and drums were loud.
"It's out!"
In the exclamation of everyone, I saw an official in front of me holding a gold list and sticking it on the south wall of the Tribute Courtyard.
Du Wulang looked up, was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "So short? ”
The crowd squeezed up like a tide, and he was immediately pushed to the side, and he glanced directly at a chubby little lady on the side of the road.
The little lady looked him up and down, her eyes fell on the colored paper in his hand, her eyes widened in surprise, and she stepped forward and said, "Lang Jun is on the list, is it good to marry a slave?" ”
"What...... What? ”
"Grandpa! There is a little Langjun who has won the list! ”
"I ......"
Without waiting for Du Wulang to react, a group of people immediately rushed to scramble and shouted: "You let go, this is my son-in-law!" ”
In this chaos, the lifters who crowded to the front looked up, but they were all stunned.
"What's going on?!"
~~
"What's going on?"
"There are twenty-three people on the list of regular science and technology, and no one is on the list, how can this be?"
"Did you find out? There is no ...... in the list of those who are on the list in this section."
In exclamation, Xue Bai squeezed through the crowd, stood beside Du Fu, and looked up at the list of jinshi.
Sun Ying, Bao Ji, Shi Zhen, Li Lu, Jiang Zhi...... Soon, he finished reading twenty-three names.
The champion is Yang Hu.
I didn't see Du Fu, I didn't see Yuan Jie, Liu Changqing, Huangfu Ran, and I didn't see Yan Zhuang, Zhang Tongru, and Pingwei.
Those who thought that they were outstanding at the time, none of them made the list.
"Let's go."
Du Fu was still in a daze, and Xue Bai pulled him straight over.
The crowd had been separated from Yuan Jie and Du Wulang, but fortunately, Guozijian was not far away, and the two of them went straight back to the Taixue Pavilion.
"Lost?" Du Fu muttered as if he had lost his soul: "How can this be? Today's section is titled "Two Fu", and "Daode Xiyi" is the rhyme, and I can write this Fu like a god......"
"Brother Zimei, success or failure is the normal state of life, and the next year will be the test."
"But I don't understand."
The two were still talking, and suddenly there was a shout from the Guozi Prison.
"Retry!"
"Retry!"
"Retry!"
At first, it was just a shout or two, but the sound quickly began to converge, and gradually formed a mountain of thunder.
When Xue Bai and Du Fu stood up, they already felt that they were in the middle of the waves.
When they came out of the house, they saw the disciples shouting and rushing out.
On the streets, the lifters who had wanted to leave began to reunite.
Someone stood on the wall of the courtyard of Guozijian and shouted.
"The saint has not come to the palace to test, the brother slave controls the field, and the king guards it strictly! In order to block the hearing and hearing, the traitor is in the spring of the year, and there is no one in the world who is the best! Shall we wait for a fight?! Gentlemen, follow me to ask the saint to try again! ”
"Try again! Try again! ”
Xue Bai stretched out his hand to pull Du Fu, but was grabbed by Du Fu's backhand, and rushed towards the imperial city with the crowd.
“……”
Suddenly, there was another commotion ahead.
"Brother Nu is afraid of the people of the grass and the wilderness, and he reprimands him for his treachery and controls! It even makes Jin Wujing Street want to kill me! I'll go to Yongle Fang and ask the left minister to come forward! ”
This left minister, of course, is not referring to Chen Xilie, who can only nod to Li Linfu now, but Li Shizhi.
Xue Bai suddenly realized that Li Shizhi was now in Chang'an, but he was afraid that this turmoil would be fueled even more.
He couldn't stop all this at all, and together with Du Fu, he flocked to Yongle Fang with the crowd.
The streets were full of shouts of "re-examination", and the crowd was angry, and no one could appease these moves.
"The second mountain is there!"
They finally found Yuan Jie and were standing outside Li Shizhi's mansion.
The scarlet door was opened.
Li Shizhi's face sank like water, standing on the steps with his hands in his hands, and he was holding a long scroll with his own hands.
Yuan Jie looked excited, holding a pen in one hand and a scroll in the other, and was writing hard, when a young man stood beside him, reading aloud along with his handwriting.
"Tianbao Ding Haichun, Yuanzi to be controlled by words, wrote three articles of "Huang Mo" and ten articles of "Two Wind Poems", and will want to seek from Si Kuan's family to help the heavenly prison...... This, the ancient do not forget to do their best to divide the ears of the ministers, and their righteousness is determined! ”
The crowd gradually quieted down, listening to Yuan Jie's poem.
This is their crusade against Li Linfu.
Since the Manchu officials did not dare to squeak, it was up to them to raise their clothes.
Finally.
"The virtuous and sage is the best, and he will be frugal and abstain, and he will inspect people, so he will be blessed. How not to think, desolate for? up and down the plug, people and gods complain; Insatiable, not afraid of falling! ”
"The sages are the best, and they must use the virtuous and upright, and the ministers of the traitors will be dethroned, so it will last for a long time. How can you think it's messy? Spoil evil and believe in confusion, and be close to good advice; Abolish the heirs and establish a house, and endure it as a disaster! ”
Yuan Jie did not disappoint them, and the first psalm scolded the current saints.
And he did not hide his words and words, accusing the saint of being unscrupulous and unscrupulous, and listening to treacherous people. The words "pet the evil and believe in the confusion", the pen is directed at Li Linfu.
even directly uncovered the Sanshuren case.
"Abolish the heirs and establish a house, and endure it as a disaster?!"
These eight words were in his ears, and Xue Bai was a little surprised.
He first thought that Yuan Jie was too impulsive, and then thought that Yuan Jie had not endured it, but Li Linfu did too much this time, if he could bear it, these Tang men would not be Tang Dynasty men.
After experiencing countless times of swallowing his anger and having had enough of those persecutions, it was the first time that Xue Bai heard that someone dared to scold the sage for doing something wrong in broad daylight, and he only felt deafening.
And this is only the first article of Yuan Jie's scolding, and he will use thirteen articles to scold today's saints today.
Xue Bai even had an impulse in his heart to step forward and stand side by side with Yuan Jie, overthrow Li Linfu and rehabilitate the Sanshu case, and his future in the future would be very different.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, he turned and left.
……
There were still angry people rushing in front of them, and in the distance, Jin Wuwei and Right Xiaowei came with halberds, and their armor was sonorous.
Xue Bai walked against the pedestrians, and after breaking away from the crowd, he stopped and looked back, with a little regret in his eyes.
I regret that I didn't listen to all the texts of Yuan Jie and didn't stand with these upright people.
But he has his own way of doing it.
~~
Jade True View.
"Seventeen Niang." The Kyauknu hurriedly rushed into the Danfang and said hurriedly: "Something happened, the Chang'an sons are scolding Ah Lang." ”
"Call me 'Vacate.'"
Li Tengkong was flipping through the medical book "Supplementing the Yellow Emperor's Neijing Su Wen" left by her master Qi Xuanzi, and she remembered that her master had a commentary on internal organ diseases, and she was thinking about it at this time.
"Grandpa won't be scolded one day?"
Kyaunu said: "But this time I'm afraid it's different, I heard that Ah Lang is in charge of the science field, and he has angered all the lifters......"
Li Tengkong put down the medical book, listened to what Jiaonu said, and suddenly thought of Xue Bai's sentence "I have recently befriended Du Fu, a poet in the world", and felt slightly bitter in his heart.
In fact, she had expected that at a very young age, she knew that if she could take a fancy to someone, he would sooner or later come to the side against Grandpa.
In a word, it became a prophecy......
~~
Pingkang Fang, Right Prime Minister's House.
Li Linfu sat behind the screen.
On the other side of the screen, it was an attendant who spoke.
"Don't worry, the saint is not in Xingqing Palace recently, and he went to the Forbidden Garden's Lee Garden to enjoy the flowers and rehearse the song...... It's just that the matter is so big, I'm afraid that the right minister will give the saint an explanation? ”
Li Linfu sat there in a purple robe, his face was not shocked, and he said slowly: "Tianbao said in the fifth year that Li Shizhi colluded with Li Yingyu's party, and now he is inciting the move. ”
"The saint should believe in this matter, and Li Shizhi is looking for his own death. The problem is that the Manchu Dynasty thinks that there is no cloth and the first is just unreasonable, what does the right minister think? ”
"Huh."
Li Linfu actually smiled, and he looked at the poems on the table.
It was all the local townspeople who accused him of treachery.
These people have not yet learned how to be loyal to the country, but they have learned to criticize the current politics.
It is very simple to deal with Li Shizhi, but the imperial examination is indeed a major event, and the saint must be given an explanation.
"Do you remember that on the night of the last Yuan Dynasty, the saint and the hundred officials drank a glass of wine at the imperial banquet?"
"What do you mean?"
"Have you forgotten? The sage praised the hundred officials at that time, God blessed the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the sages and sages, and the civil and military ......"
At this point, Li Linfu picked up the pen and wrote four words on the fold-
"Wild and unsparing."
