Throughout the ages, the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, just like the rising tide and the rising moon can not be changed by manpower, a few people can be broken, and how many people can live freely? Zhuang Jichang Gold List is titled High School Zhuangyuan, naturally full of spring breeze, but some people are happy and some are worried, how can everything be as expected?

On this day, he was strolling around the market and saw a crowd in front of a stall, and there were bursts of cheers from time to time. Jichang felt curious, so he crowded into the crowd to find out, it turned out to be a calligraphy and painting stall, a thin scholar, wearing a carefree scarf, was holding a bucket hair on the paper to move the pen. Its words and chapters have a degree, flying white inlay, between the dragon and the tiger leaping, there is a "crazy drunk" wind. The scholar showed the wild grass to everyone in one go, and the people voted copper coins to reward them, and the scholars thanked them again and again. In front of Zhuang Jichang, Jichang put an ingot of five taels of silver in the copper plate, and casually praised: "Good words!"

The scholar looked up at Zhuang Jichang, and suddenly there was surprise on the faces of both of them. After half a moment, Zhuang Jichang said: "How can Zizhuang be you?" The scholar was gloomy, he frowned, and sighed from time to time. Everyone saw that the two knew each other well, and they all listened attentively to their conversation. Zhuang Jichang looked around and knew that this was not a place to reminisce, so he led Zizi to Taibaiju Restaurant.

It turned out that this scholar was none other than Chen Zizhuang, a talented Lingnan scholar. Chen Zixiang was gifted and intelligent in his childhood, and at the age of seven, he was able to point to things and immediately recite poems. At that time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival,

"The moon is cloudy and sunny" A guest saw that the sky was overcast and there was no trace of moonlight, and he recited a poem: "What is the meaning of Tiangong tonight, do not put silver lanterns to show blue waves." After hearing this, seven-year-old Chen Zizhuang improvised the last two lines of the poem: "When I go to the garden next year, I will ask Chang'e because of the flowers." Seeing Chen Zi's talent, the guests congratulated Chen Zhuang again and again, praising his son's unlimited future.

After many years, Zhuang Jichang saw his old friend again, but he never thought that Chen Zizhuang would be so poor. It turned out that the initiator of all this was from Wei Zhongxian, a thief who deceived the king. The two drank and chatted, and Chen Zixiang saw the past one by one.

Since Yang Lian and other six gentlemen of Donglin were murdered by Wei Zhongxian, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have kept their mouths shut, and they dare not speak out in anger at Wei Zhongxian and his minions. The old thief Wei Zhongxian not only blocked the way of speech, but also interfered in scientific research. In the second year's Beijing examination, Wei Zhongxian asked Chen Zizhuang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, to be the main examiner and preside over this year's pre-palace examination. The three happy events in life, ten years of hard work, just for other dignitaries. The scholars from all over the world gathered in Beijing, and the scene of the Beijing Middle School Entrance Examination was unusually grand.

Chen Zixiang read the books of the sages to the fullest, and he felt that he could not correct the society at the top and appease the people at the bottom, so what was the use of having an empty stomach and economic prosperity? Wei Zhongxian's arbitrariness and domineering made him very disgusted, and it was Chen Zixiang who often thought about strategies and exposed the crimes of the old thief. This time, the Beijing-China Entrance Examination was a great opportunity, and Chen Zizhuang thought about it and formulated the topic of this year's policy discussion.

After the test paper was distributed, Chen Zixiang said to all the scholars in an impassioned speech: "Those of my generation who study should know what is right, if you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and don't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, wouldn't it be against the teachings of the saints?"

The topic of the policy theory is on the Eastern Han Dynasty Ten Standing Servants and Politics, this unconventional topic, so that the deputy examiner Wu Lai was shocked, he pointed to the examination paper and said to Chen Zizhuang: "Lord Chen, which of the four books and five classics can not put forward a policy theory, why do you use this?"

Chen Zixiang glanced at Wu Lai, pretended to be careless and said: "People in the world talk about world affairs, this strategy is very good, it can make the scholars vomit their hearts. With that, he waved his hand at Wu Lai and signaled him not to say more. Wu Lai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and glared at Chen Zixiang viciously. He immediately withdrew and passed on the topic of the strategy to Wei Zhongxian in a secret letter. After Wei Zhongxian saw it, he stared at the thief's eyes that looked like blisters, and said in a strange voice: "I don't know what to lift, and coming up with such an essay title is obviously an allusion to Ben Chitose." He then summoned Li Lusheng, the imperial historian, and ordered him to impeach Chen Zi for framing the minister. asked Xu Xianchun to block the examination room with a pair of brocade guards and expelled Chen Zizhuang.

After the righteous Chen Zixiang was deposed as the chief examiner, the deputy examiner Wu Lai took his place, and he ordered Shizi to write a policy to flatter Wei Zhongxian. After reading it, the old thief was full of muscles, and he praised it again and again.

Chen Zizhuang did not feel weak and frightened because of Wei Zhongxian's interference, but when the history museum was repairing the book, he wrote the evil deeds of the old thief Wei Zhongxian into the annals of history. One night, Chen Zizhuang returned home with the unfinished history book, and he worked hard to write the book, and before he knew it, it was already the third watch.

Chen Zixiang turned off the lights, returned to the couch and fell asleep, he saw that he had come to a place where the rocks were like swords, and the scorching magma rushed and roared, lapping against the hot mountain rocks. When Chen Zixiang was in a panic, someone pushed him behind him, and then he fell off the cliff. He woke up from a nightmare when he was startled.

He wiped the sweat drops on his forehead, only to find that there was smoke and dust outside, and the fires were soaring, and the housekeeper Chen Lin ran in in a panic outside and said to him: "Master, you should run for your life quickly." The fire in the house was too big to be saved. ”

Chen Zixiang looked stunned, what was the matter with this sudden fire? At this time, he had no choice but to think about it in detail, and his efforts were all on the history books that he was compiling. It was he who said to Chen Lin: "Hurry up and help me take the manuscript away, these are to be passed on to future generations." ”

Chen Lin said to Chen Zizhuang: "Master, when is this time, it's still too difficult to escape empty-handed, what are you doing with all these burdens?" After the smoke rose everywhere, he heard a few arrows "whooshing" outside the wall shoot in, Chen Lin screamed and was shot to death in the fire.

A good house turned into a rubble field in an instant, and Chen Zixiang sighed and was sad.

However, what awaits him is homelessness and resignation. Under the instruction of Wei Zhongxian,

Li Lusheng impeached Chen Zi under the court to frame the minister, alluding to the current government and politics. Xizong listened to the recital, and saw that it was about the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he didn't understand it, and felt that Li Lusheng was suspected of climbing dirt. Wei Zhongxian still had sharp teeth, he casually pointed at the fold of his hand, and said to Xizong: "Long live the minister, Chen Zixiang's strategy seems to be talking about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but in fact, he secretly ridiculed His Majesty as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and he also compared the ministers to the ten permanent servants who interfered in politics. ”

Xizong was furious when he heard this, and immediately issued a decree to dismiss Chen Zizhuang's position as Taishi Ling and demote him to a commoner. Wei Zhongxian thought that if he burned Chen Zixiang's manuscript, no one would know about his evil deeds, and he didn't know the justice of heaven.

In this way, Chen Zixiang lived a difficult life of having a meal and not having a hungry stomach. Zhuang Jichang was unconsciously angry when he heard this, and he said to Chen Zizhuo: "Being an official in the same dynasty as this thief is really a great shame in his life. Seeing my old friend today, I decided to do my best to sponsor in front of the Holy One and restore my official position. ”

Chen Zixiang shook his head, he was already indifferent to fame and fortune, but he was a chic and comfortable idle cloud and wild crane, and the vast world was at my disposal, so that he could feel at ease. Zhuang Jichang saw that his old friend still maintained a pure and righteous state of mind, and was secretly happy for him. The two of them pushed the glass to change the lamp, tasted wine and discussed poetry, and they didn't feel heroic.

At this time, they only heard the sound of hurried footsteps downstairs, and the two turned around to take a look, and it turned out to be Zhao Zhutou from the Gyeonggi Yamen who came upstairs with a group of public officials. Zhuang Jichang thought that he was drinking, so he only greeted him, and then turned around and continued to talk with Chen Zizhuang. Chen Zixiang put down the wine glass and said to Zhuang Jichang: "I'm afraid I can't drink this wine, these officials are coming for me." Before Zhuang Jichang could react, Chen Zixiang had already gotten up and walked towards Zhao Zhutou.

Zhao Zhutou crooked his eyebrows and glared, and while locking Chen Zizhuang's shackles, he said viciously: "Chen Zizhuang, when the prefect sends a message, we are also in a dilemma. With that, he pushed Chen Zixiang and walked outside.

Zhuang Jichang saw that his old friend was depressed and staggering, and he shouted behind the officials: "Stop, what crime is Zi Xiang committed? Ji Chang was shocked, Zhao Zhutou turned around, and said viciously: "Eat melon seeds and eat a bed bug, which onion dare you take care of the affairs of the government?"

Before the words fell, Zhao Zhutou had already stepped forward and rushed to Zhuang Jichang.

After the two looked at each other for a short time, Zhao Zhutou raised a fist the size of a vinegar bowl and was about to beat Zhuang Jichang. At this time, Chen Zizhuang said to Zhao Zhutou: "Zhao Zhutou, you are so bold, you dare to swing your fist at the new champion." ”

Zhao Zhutou was so frightened that he repeatedly compensated Zhuang Jichang. Zhuang Jichang waved his hand and asked Zhao Zhutou why he wanted to arrest Chen Zizhuang? Zhao Zhutou changed his previous arrogance and told Zhuang Jichang in a flattering tone that Wei Qiansui had an order that Chen Zizhuang was not allowed to stay in Beijing.

"Hmph! It's Wei Zhongxian, the old thief again. Zhuang Jichang took the case and scolded Wei Zhongxian loudly. Zhao Zhutou stood aside, and he didn't dare to come out. After a while, Zhuang Jichang calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and he asked Zhao Zhutou to open the shackles. Where did Zhao Zhutou dare to offend the protégé of the Son of Heaven? He had no choice but to exonerate Chen Zizhuang, and he said to Zhuang Jichang with a dejected face: "Today, the little one has released the important criminal, and it is difficult to explain to the prefect. In the future, the nine thousand years old will be blamed, and the troublesome champion will explain it himself. ”

Zhuang Jichang nodded, and Zhao Zhutou left with a disgraced face. Zhuang Jichang once again openly made enemies of Wei Zhongxian, and the old thief was so angry that he raised his eyebrows when he heard that Chen Zixiang was let go by Zhuang Jichang. He slapped the case and smashed the bowl, vowing to settle accounts with Zhuang Jichang.
