Bidding farewell to Chen Yizhong, Wen Tianxiang got up and left his seat, preparing to leave here.

"You just returned to Lin'an, you shouldn't have a place to stay, why don't you stay in my mansion for a night?" Chen Yizhong said with a smile.

Wen Tianxiang shook his head and warned: "Have you forgotten your current situation? If someone finds out that you and I have been in contact, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Najia. And you also know my character, this time I stepped into the court, I will definitely have conflicts with him, if he knows the relationship between you and me at that time, what should I do?"

"Okay, let's go all the way. ”

Chen Yizhong blessed that at this moment, it seemed that he could only do these things.

"I hope so. ”

Walking to the door, Wen Tianxiang raised his head and glanced at the sky.

At this moment, the rain clouds have dispersed, and some sunlight shines through the gaps, sprinkled in Lin'an, and people who have been tormented by gloom and humidity for many days see this sunshine, and they also feel a lot happier in their hearts in an instant, as if those things in the past have been completely dispelled at this moment.

It probably had rained just now, and there was still rain between the brick joints, and Wen Tianxiang left the place by stepping on these shallow puddles.

Seeing his friend leave, Chen Yizhong suddenly felt a lot calmer in his heart, and said: "Fortunately, fortunately, there are still you, otherwise I would be alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it." Looking back, he saw the leftovers at that table, waved his hand and asked his subordinates to clean it up, but he stood aside silently, and his heart was also melancholy.

"It's just the mess of this table, who can clean it up?"

——————

Since Chen Yizhong left the mansion, Chen Yizhong did not rush to the official mansion to report on his work, but went directly to Taixue.

Walking straight to the library cabinet, Chen Yizhong pushed open the door, and saw an old man standing on the ladder in front of the full bookshelves, and seemed to be looking for some books by the sunlight shining in from the window lattice.

"Master!"

Observing the disciple ceremony, Wen Tianxiang bowed to the old man.

The old man's eyes were always fixed on the book in front of him, and he didn't turn around when he heard this, but replied flatly: "Is it a good performance?"

"It's the disciple. ”

"Didn't you go to Jiangxi to take up the post of criminal officer? Why did you come back again?"

"Well, I haven't heard about what happened in the DPRK, so I hurried back. ”

Seeing that the old man in front of him was always focusing on the book in front of him, Wen Tianxiang was even more worried in his heart, but he opened his mouth and asked, "It's just Master." I remember when I left, you were still a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, why did you commit yourself to this Taixue and just be a teacher?"

"I'm old, so I chose to retire. ”

The old man replied with his mouth open, his eyes wandering over the shelves, as if he were looking for something.

Seeing that he was helpless, Wen Tianxiang felt that his words before were too intense, and asked in a low voice: "Master, I don't know what you are looking for, what is it?"

"It's a bamboo slip!"

"What is written?"

"Spring and Autumn!"

"Spring and autumn?" Wen Tianxiang said curiously: "If it's Spring and Autumn, how can you look for so long?" For the Spring and Autumn Period, he is naturally very familiar with it, and he has been reciting since he was young, and he still remembers it vividly, and he doesn't know why his master is looking for this kind of thing.

"But what if it's been handed down since the Spring and Autumn Period?" The old man chuckled and complained.

Wen Tianxiang was stunned in his heart, and there seemed to be a faint guess: "Handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"That's right, you know, it's as great as Confucius, and he once sharpened the Spring and Autumn Period. After many prints, this Spring and Autumn Period is very different from the original edition, and how can I know what happened in the past Spring and Autumn Period, which is why I have the idea of reproofreading. As for the bamboo slips, I asked a friend in Chang'an to send them, but unfortunately because the materials are too huge, I don't know where I put them. The old man shook his head and continued to search with some anxiety.

"Is that so?"

Wen Tianxiang swept his eyes, but saw that there was a silk book on the library next to him.

After looking >at it intently, I found that although the content on it was similar to most of what I knew, some words had changed their appearance.

Moreover, this silk book is also quite different from the books he reads, but it is embroidered directly on a silk silk, and it needs to be pulled apart to be read, which is completely different from the current books, because it is rolled up like a scroll, so it is generally called a book.

In the Song Dynasty, because of the development of the printing industry, many books were printed, and in order to facilitate sales, these books also changed the usual style to sew the pages with thin threads, so that it was not only convenient for printing, but also easy to carry, and it was very popular as soon as it was launched.

The old man seemed to be unable to find it, and slapped his head as if he was complaining.

"If you can't find it, you may not be able to continue. ”

"Master, dare to ask what you want, is that so?"

Wen Tianxiang's eyes moved slightly, but he noticed that not far from him, a roll of bamboo slips was placed on the bookshelf, he walked over and took down the book, and then arrived in front of the old man.

Only then did the old man show joy and exclaimed, "That's right, that's it!"

didn't pay much attention to Wen Tianxiang, so he took the bamboo slip and left from the library, and ran all the way back to his mansion.

Wen Tianxiang suddenly felt gloomy, and asked in a low voice: "Alas, Master, how did you become like this?"

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a scholar walking next to him, and the scholar saw Wen Tianxiang looking dazed, and immediately felt funny.

"Ha! Another person who covets fame and intends to ascend to the sky in one step, but it's a pity that Shenning Jushi is not so easy to be impressed. ”

"Shenning Layman, is this the new name of the master?"

Wen Tianxiang secretly felt strange in his heart, so he opened his mouth and asked, "You just said that I covet fame? Isn't there a lot of people who come to visit the Houzhai monks?"

"Houzhai layman, it seems that you are not a person who doesn't know anything, you actually know Wang Yinglin's former residence name. It's a pity that since he resigned from the government, Wang Yinglin has abolished the previous word and changed his name to a new name. After that, except for those old students, few people knew his former residence number. ”

The man smiled, as if empathetic.

As they said, the old man before was none other than the famous Confucian Wang Yinglin.

This person has his own intelligence, at the age of nine he passed the Six Classics, at the age of nineteen he raised the Jinshi, and then under the influence of Zhen Dexiu, he worshiped the Cheng Zhu School, that is, he served as an official in various places, and he was still familiar with the history of the scriptures, and never gave up one day, and read a lot of books, not only involved in the hundred schools of history, astronomy and geography, but also familiar with the history of the past dynasties, and was good at research.

He wrote a lot in his life, with more than 20 kinds and more than 600 volumes. The 200 volumes of the Jade Sea included all kinds of knowledge required for the imperial examinations at that time; the evidence-based notebook "The Chronicles of Sleepy Learning" featured research and ranked first among the "Three Great Notes of the Song Dynasty"; and the Mongolian work "The Three Character Classic" was popular for more than 700 years and was circulated in many overseas countries, making it an excellent textbook for children's moral education.

In the past, when Wen Tianxiang won the fame examination, he was hand-picked by this person and became the champion.

Therefore, Wen Tianxiang has always been a disciple of Wang Yinglin, treating him as a teacher-like talent.

Wen Tianxiang muttered for a moment: "'Shenning Layman', Master, are you unwilling to involve the court again from now on?" Fu opened his mouth again and continued to ask, "In that case, can you tell me what happened to make Shizun become like this?"

At the beginning, Mr. Wang also saw that this Jia Nidao was not a benevolent minister, and he wrote several letters of impeachment, which also aroused Jia Nidao's dissatisfaction. Naja seems to be naturally dissatisfied, and has been waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. But Mr. Wang has always been upright, how can he be defeated?"

The man shook his head and sighed, and for a moment he also fell into anger, and began to tell about the crimes of Jia Yidao in the past.

In order to expel Mr. Wang from the court, Najia Rudao secretly coerced his disciple to give false testimony to threaten Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang is a person with a square temperament, where can he accept this kind of thing, so he has to retire from the court in the name of his mother's worries. ”

“......”

The man had probably been hiding for a long time, but now when he saw someone listening, he poured out everything that was in his heart.

Wen Tianxiang was listening, and he couldn't help but feel angry: "This Jia Yidao is really shameless, he actually did such a thing? Does he think he can cover the sky with one hand? He only hates that I am not here, otherwise I have to pull this person down and change the world to a bright future."

"Even so, what can we do?"

The man shook his head, with a bit of mockery on his face: "After all, he has the support of the official family, even if we collect countless evidence, if the official family does not agree, he will naturally not fall." You and I are just ordinary people, how can we fight him? It's good to have ambitions, but don't kill yourself, you know?"

Hearing this, Wen Tianxiang was immediately dumbfounded, not knowing whether he should come down or not.

The man also sensed Wen Tianxiang's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Of course, there is no endless way to heaven." Since you are here, you must also have the world, in that case, why don't you go to Chang'an with me?"

"Chang'an, do you mean to be under the Red Phoenix Army?"

Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a while, feeling that he couldn't accept it.

The man laughed, "That's right. We can't stay in this Lin'an, but it doesn't mean that there is really no way out. And you also know that the king of Jin has always had a good reputation, and he has always had a good heart, and the Northern Expedition has just succeeded, and it is the land of the five roads, which is the time when talents are urgently needed. ”

"Well, it's still not possible. ”

Wen Tianxiang noticed that the other party was carrying a salute at the moment, and it seemed that he was clearly planning to leave, so he shook his head and refused directly.

Wen Tianxiang, who regarded himself as a man of science, categorically could not make such a plan to turn his back on the monarch!
