Young Man Chapter 18 Bamboo Basket Fetching Water
Before you know it, the families in the town are starting to make breakfast, and the smoke rises everywhere, and the spring is poetic.
The Li family just sent away a young girl who made people forget their worries, and another young girl who made people feel awe.
Next to the young girl stood a handsome young man, and behind him was an old man with an old face and no beard.
A young girl, with phoenix eyes and peach blossom eyes, picturesque eyebrows, white skin like jade, not like the world, and her expression is arrogant and high.
A handsome young man, with a slender figure and a graceful demeanor, with two knives on the left side of his waist, like a jar of freshly brewed liquor, although spicy, but not clear, even the half-aged will be impressed by the demeanor of the youth.
The face is white and there is no need for the elderly, bending down slightly, with his hands in his sleeves, and wearing a plain green shirt, giving people a feeling of kindness and coldness.
It was not a young girl who spoke first, not a young man, but an old man.
The old man arched his hand at Li Zan, and then said, "Old Li, after a few years, we meet again." ”
Li Zan glanced at the two beside him, arched his hand at the old man, and said, "Eunuch Xiao, what kind of wind blew you to our town?"
Only the top eunuchs in the palace will be called mink temples or eunuchs. Looking at the entire Dajin Dynasty, there are only a few people who can have this title. This old man is the palm seal supervisor of the Taifu Supervisor of the Four Eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Dajin Dynasty, Xiao Mink Temple, who is in charge of all kinds of property in the palace.
The Taizu of the Dajin Dynasty was established, and there were four supervisors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, namely the Yiwen Supervisor, the Pastoral Supervisor, the Warden Room Supervisor, and the Taifu Supervisor. Taizu set up nine golden tablets in the palace of Baohe in the upper capital, which clearly stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to leave the capital without permission.
Since this Xiao Mink Temple can go out of Beijing, the identities of women and men are about to come out.
Xiao Mink Temple and Li Zan have some origins.
Twelve years ago, all the land of Qizhou belonged to the Dajin Dynasty. Li Zan is famous for his virtuous name, one of the six marshals of the Dajin Dynasty, the Taishi Wanyan Zonggan, and the three visits to Yaojia Town, invited to serve as the prefect of Qingzhou.
Tired of the clan, the Li family could not move south. In order to ensure the safety of his clansmen, Li Zan had no choice but to serve as the prefect of Qingzhou, and later as the prefect of Kaifeng.
Three years ago, because the Dajin Dynasty led the army to invade the Dasong Dynasty in the south, Li Zan resolutely resigned from the prefect of Kaifeng and returned to Yaojia Town.
Since then, he has not asked about the world.
During his tenure as prefect, Li Zan had to communicate with the palace. Usually, when you see these eunuchs of the Mink Temple, even if they are noble vassal kings or powerful ministers, they have to take the initiative to say a few polite words. This Xiao Mink Temple, hearing that Li Zan is quite famous, ruled the state capital, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so he took the initiative to have some intersections with Li Zan. After coming and going, the two became a little familiar.
Xiao Mink Temple smiled and said, "Elder Li, don't you invite us into the door to have a hot cup of tea?"
When the group came to the living room, the two sides sat opposite each other, as if they deliberately did not distinguish the guest of honor, let alone any monarch or minister. Sitting down, Xiao Mink Temple introduced: "Old Li, this one is Princess Shige, and this one is the son of Zonggan Taishi, General Wanyan Liang. ”
Li Zan greeted Princess Lizhu with a greeting that was neither the Dajin Dynasty nor the Dasong Dynasty, and then arched his hand to Wan Yanliang and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess and the general, come to the cold house, and it will be shining." ”
Princess Shige didn't have the kind of upright frame she had in her impression, and she spoke kindly.
Wan Yanliang solemnly greeted Li Zan with the Dajin Dynasty, and then said: "Before my father's death, he praised Li Lao Xian many times, saying that Mr. is 'Qilu Daxian', the kid has long wanted to visit Li Lao, and he never wanted to delay it to this day. ”
Li Zan had no choice but to return the salute, waved his hand and said: "General, you are polite, I am a wild and contemptible person, and I can't afford to be an old lady." ”
Wan Yanliang gently picked up the teacup, and said in a flat tone: "Back then, my Emperor Taizong captured the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong of the Great Song Dynasty and 3,000 people in the harem. ”
Wan Yanliang took a sip of tea and continued, "At that time, no one dared to come forward to persuade him. Regardless of his personal safety, Li Lao made three major reasons to Emperor Taizong. ”
"First, the policy of the people's hearts. If the two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty Huizong and Qinzong are treated well, then the successor Emperor Gaozong of the Great Song Dynasty will fall into a dilemma, and if they advance, they need to think of ways to welcome back the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong, and if they retreat, the people of the world will always have a grudge; however, if the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong are really welcomed back, how will the successor Emperor Gaozong get along with the current Emperor Qinzong, and should he still be in the position of Emperor Qinzong? ”
"The second is the strategy of the king. In ancient times, there was often a coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the royal family of the Dasong Dynasty was in the hands of the Dajin Dynasty, just like a hostage in hand, the Dasong Dynasty would do anything to throw a mouse taboo, and even take the initiative to call the vassals; if the royal family of the Dasong Dynasty was killed, it would inevitably lead to the same hatred of the Dasong Dynasty, and everyone was united. ”
"The third is the strategy of luck. Destroying the imperial family of the enemy country will make the scholars and people of the former Dasong Dynasty under the rule of the Dajin Dynasty disgusted, and it will hurt the fortune of the dynasty. ”
"At that time, Emperor Taizong listened to Li Gong's words and thought it was true, saying that 'the pillar of the country and the hope of the people'. ”
Wan Yanliang gently put down the teacup and sighed, "Such loyal and upright words are savored, and I also feel that the whip is penetrating and far-sighted." ”
Li Zan shook his head and said, "General, the old man was just presenting the facts at that time, and he just had one thing to say. ”
"It's just that I don't know what happened when Her Royal Highness the princess and the general came here?" Li Zan asked indifferently.
Princess Shi Ge said: "It's nothing, it's just that the emperor's brother asked Xiao Diao Temple to bring the Dao Holy Decree, and wanted to persuade Li Lao to become the prefect of Qizhou." My cousin and I have admired Li Gong for a long time, so I begged the emperor's brother to let my cousin come here with me. ”
Li Zan said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, thank you for the emperor's grace, and the old man is terrified. It's just that the old decay is really powerless, you look at my old thin and dry appearance, the loess is about to be buried on the top of my head, I really don't dare to be, I don't dare to be......"
Princess Shi Ge said: "Elder Li, the emperor's brother originally didn't allow me to come with me, but he couldn't stand me to fight hard, so he agreed." However, the emperor's brother said to me, 'When does Elder Li agree to be the prefect of Qizhou, when will you be able to return to Shangdu to restore your life'. ”
After speaking, Princess Shige was crying, bowed her head and said nothing, picked up the teacup in her hand, put it down again, picked it up again, and put it down again.
Li Zan said: "Princess, it's really not that you are old and rely on the old to sell the old. It is really that Qizhou is too important, and the old man is shallow in learning. The ancients said: If virtue is not matched, there will be a central disaster, which is the root cause of the collapse of the Guangsha day and night. ”
Wan Yanliang said: "Li Lao is virtuous, the world knows it, it's better not to shirk it." ”
Princess Shi Ge said: "I know that Elder Li is worried about the invasion of the Dasong Dynasty in the south of the Dajin Dynasty. However, three years ago, the Dajin Dynasty and the Dasong Dynasty had signed the Shao Peace Agreement, and there would be no more disputes and wars in the future, so I really hope that Li Gong will not have a view between the north and the south. ”
Wan Yan Liang saw that Princess Shi Ge pulled the conversation to a forbidden area of topics that everyone was unwilling to touch, so he hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess means that all ethnic groups are like flowers, thousands of purples and thousands of reds shine brightly, with roots and trees, and pedicle flowers, decorating the country and mountains are picturesque, and the world is originally a family. ”
Li Zan was silent, sitting silently.
There was an embarrassed look on his face, and he was brewing words.
Princess Shige realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she felt remorseful in her heart.
In one room, there was silence.
However, Xiao Mink Temple watched silently, admiring the couplet in the study alone, which was written by Li Zan himself.
On one side is "looking out of the window, Daizong is full of snow, and it is white." ”
On the one hand, it is "sitting and watching the world, the heart is sad, and the thousands of years are empty." ”
There is not only the convergence of will, the sigh of impermanence, but also the momentum of the outgoing, the span is extremely far.
What's even more interesting is that there are three words written on the horizontal batch: "It is difficult to walk".
Difficult to walk, difficult to walk, divergent road, where are you today?
It seems that there is a scholar who is full of poetry and books, and he can't eat, and he draws his sword and looks around......
After looking at it, Xiao Mink Temple said slowly: "Li Gong, the sages said that 'iron shoulders bear morality, and clever hands write articles', and the morality in the hearts of the readers should not be to govern the country and level the world? Qizhou is the hub of the land of Qilu, and there are millions of people on it. Li Gong, I hope to think deeply about it for the people of Qizhou. ”
Wan Yanliang glanced at Xiao Mink Temple, and remembered what his father had said in private: "Xiao Jian is a person with introverted wisdom, few words, and very high intentions." ”
However, Wan Yanliang doesn't care whether Li Zan can serve as the prefect of Qizhou. Originally, His Majesty the Emperor sent them here this time, and it was also the intention of the drunkards not to drink.
Thinking of that His Majesty, Wan Yanliang shrugged his shoulders and said to himself in the heart lake: "Hmph, sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe, and being responsible for the country, it's not majestic." ”
This is a beautiful face, love to read since childhood, can compose, like to play chess, at the age of twelve wrote a poem "Yesterday's Qiaocun Yupu, today Qiongchuan Yinzhu." The mountain curtain looks, the old peaks. The beauty of the brocade tent is sleepy, and the heavenly grandson cuts the water. I was surprised that it was a poplar flower, and it was a reed flower. It was widely recited in the Daejin Dynasty. At the age of eighteen, he was named the general of Fengguo, the youngest general in the history of the Dajin Dynasty.
Wan Yanliang has a gentleman, the Confucian Zhang Yongzhi. Wan Yanliang remembers that the only time he was severely criticized by Mr. Zhang Yongzhi was when he was sixteen years old when he wrote a poem "The dragon hides and hides the waves, and mixes with the shrimp and toad." Wait for the corner of the head, shaking the thunderbolt and shaking the mountains and rivers. ”
At that time, Mr. Zhang Yongzhi was furious when he saw it, tore up the poem on the spot, and said to him sternly: "You have this bad habit of not being able to hide what you are talking about, you must change." I'll wait until the day I seize the opportunity, and then I'll talk about it. ”
After that, Mr. Zhang Yongzhi agreed with Wan Yan Liang in the third chapter of the law "Before you are confused, you are loyal, left and right, and not close to women". ”
Wan Yanliang was shocked at that time, as if he knew Mr. Zhang Yongzhi for the first time, and he was able to gain insight into himself, so the little bit of guilt in his heart was swept away.
When he was crowned, Wanyan Liang secretly promised three grand ambitions, calling himself "Liang's Three Ambitions", which was terrifying.
The other three didn't pay attention to Wan Yanliang's mind turning.
Suddenly, Wan Yanliang said: "Gong Li, Xiao Mink Temple is right, instead of being mermaid, why not bring a knife in your hand?"
Xiao Mink Si glanced at Wan Yan Liang with the rest of his eyes, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this son of the old lady is definitely not a thing in the pool, isn't he the one who wants to be the one who carries the knife?
Sticking green onions in his nose and pretending to be like an elephant.
The three of them used a lot of effort to persuade left and right, but Li Lao never spit, and his tone was always calm, as if he was happy and sorrowful, watering his heart, and I was still calm.
The three of them had to say goodbye, and Princess Shige said: "Li Gong, you think about it again, I will go back to Fenglai Building first, and wait for Li Gong's good news." ”
With that, the three of them got up and said goodbye and left.
Princess Shige walked in the front, Wan Yanliang was slightly half a step behind, and Xiao Mink Temple was one step behind. Wan Yanliang secretly looked at Princess Shige's graceful figure with the corner of his eye, the twisting curve, a little stupid, as if he had seen the most beautiful lady in the world.
Wan Yanliang couldn't help but think of the last ambition of his "Three Ambitions of Liang", "the best in the world and his wife", a little proud, and sighed to himself, "It's really the great ambition of Honghu." But now you have to keep a low profile, you have to keep a low profile, or you will die. ”
Xiao Mink Temple was dual-minded, and while looking at Wan Yan Liang, he muttered in his heart: "This son in front of him, although he is handsome and chic, gentle and elegant, and majestic, he should be an out-and-out traitor." While recalling that before leaving, in the silent night, His Majesty the Emperor gave him a secret decree: "Test first, don't kill."
This morning, Wang Zhe borrowed a bamboo basket from the shopkeeper and went to fetch a basket of river water, which did not leak, which was very magical.
Wang Zhe walked to the small bridge, put the bamboo basket aside to the monk, looked up at the weeping willows by the river, clapped his hands, and then walked back to Fenglai Tower.
As soon as Wang Zhe left, the river water in the bamboo basket flowed out slowly like a trickle.
The monk didn't seem to know that Wang Zhe had hit a bamboo basket of water, and the monk never opened his eyes to look at it.
The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows and crossed six crossings, and the bamboo basket was empty?
