Liu Ye waved his hand, laughed dryly, and said: "That's what I said, but I don't know you yet, if you really become an important member of the imperial court and don't get a nickname above Ruizi after death, I'm afraid that you will get up from the ground and make trouble for me." ”

Yuan Zhishan smiled, his eyes flickered, and said: "Your Highness, the sages have said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but now his subordinates tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers to accompany you to fight the world. ”

Listening to these obviously disrespectful words, Liu Ye was not annoyed, to be honest, he liked the feeling of talking.

In the days when I was idle with Li Wenshuo in Yehua City, I felt like this, and when I was a child, those palace maids and eunuchs often said this and that without any scruples.

But since he grew up, there are fewer and fewer people around him who dare to talk to him like this, even the crown princess Zhou Yan will play a little bit on weekdays, but they are all looking at his face.

"What's so embarrassing, but you, really embarrassed to ask, since ancient times, the people who have been called Wenzheng, all have the talent of the world, or the morality is broad, or the diligent and inquisitive, you are a flat-headed common man who does not even have a fame, it will be difficult to become an official in the future, if I really give you this literary name, I must not be poked in the backbone by the Confucian scholars in the world?"

Listening to Liu Ye still thinking about joking, his mood was also a lot calmer, and his courage was also bigger, pointing to the birdcage hanging in the cage on the eaves and said: "The lark's song is loud and wide, the rhyme is tactful and changeable, and it sings straight into the clouds when it flies, and the song seems to rush out of the clouds, so it calls the Son of Heaven again." Now I'm the same, although I didn't do anything in the first half of my life, but at this point today, it's not good to say, I deceived the prince of the dynasty's silver, and was appreciated by the national teacher Li Qingshan, when the first assistant of the court scolded me in the courtyard, who can say that I can't get a Wenzheng nickname in the future. ”

Liu Ye shook his head and said helplessly: "It's still Wenzheng, the yellow bird and the lark can't tell the difference." ”

"Haha, after death, we will discuss it after death, and we will hand it over to future generations to evaluate. ”

Yuan Zhishan's face was slightly red, he laughed embarrassedly twice, then took two steps closer, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you really sure which of your fourth brothers to deal with?"

"Why, didn't Fang just say that you should have faith in Your Highness? This is what it looks like, but it's not good. ”

Liu Ye frowned slightly, Yuan Zhishan also hurriedly took two steps back, and said with a smile: "It's not that I really can't think of how His Highness will deal with the Ten Imperial Forest Army, Wen Zheng Wenzheng, just thinking about the name, follow His Highness, the glory and wealth have not been enjoyed for a few days, in case it is past tonight, the head is not on the neck, then thank you." ”

As he was talking, he raised his head, but found that Liu Ye'er's face had turned iron-blue.

"You, just owe a beating!"

......

Yuan Zhishan sat quietly in his small study, the brazier in the room was burning vigorously, and the room was very warm.

On the table is the rice paper of Wanzhou's tribute, holding the rabbit from the prince, frowning slightly, after careful consideration, one name after another was written on the rice paper, and each name is clearly recorded behind each person's personality, resume, where to serve, and how big an official he is.

In the early years, I couldn't light the lamp at home, and I couldn't see my eyes when I read a book by moonlight, but now it's a little farther away, and the words are all blurred.

The maid stepped forward to add some oil to the oil lamp, lit two more candles, and glanced at this young man from the same humble background with distress.

"Why did I light two more candles and quickly put them out. ”

Yuan Zhishan rubbed his temples and said with a frown.

The maid's name is Luliu, naturally not her real name, she was specially found by Liu Ye to serve him, she was also a girl from a good family, and she was born quite handsome, and later her father gambled and owed a lot of debts, so she was sold to the official family, although she was not very familiar with the etiquette of large families, but Yuan Zhishan was the same, and she didn't care much about these.

"Childe, although you don't have an official status now, no one in this East Palace knows, you will be extremely rich and noble in the future, and you don't need to save these lamp oil money. ”

Lu Liu's voice was a little aggrieved, but Yuan Zhishan still insisted, frowned and said: "What do you know, it's not that I can't read a book with an oil lamp, and now that the book is finished, what are you wasting those things for." ”

The green willow couldn't resist him, so he had to put out the two candles, but he added a little more oil to the oil lamp, seeing this, Yuan Zhishan sighed and didn't speak again.

"Sir's handwriting is so beautiful. ”

"Are you literate?"

Green Willow shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, but it looks good." ”

In the dim light of the room, Yuan Zhishan stretched his waist, stood up, and brushed his hand slightly over the calligraphy hanging on the wall.

One day and two days of madness

Thirty-six thousand have passed

He was a new acquaintance

Only when drifting in a foreign land

The four lines of poetry were written by Sun Dajia, and the gold hook and silver strokes added to the charm of points, and there was still a smell of ink on the calligraphy and painting.

"I liked the words of the Sun family very much in the past, and what I wanted most in this life was to have a copy of the Sun family's calligraphy, but I couldn't afford it at the time, so I finally saved some money, and really bought a pair, I saw at a glance that it was fake, but the forged words were still written well, so I followed the practice, and now I have practiced what you call a good hand. ”

Luliu has seen this grandson, and when the grandson came to deliver this notebook in person that day, his husband was closed, but the grandson was still full of smiles, even if his beard shook angrily, but his face was still smiling, and he didn't dare to show the slightest unhappy look.

"These days, King Jing'an has moved a lot, and 10,000 well-equipped armor soldiers have made me almost unable to think of any way to deal with it, so I buried my head in these copywriting all day long, hoping to do even a small thing for the people of Liyang, as long as I can die one less person, it will be regarded as a merit. On the surface I am very calm, but in fact I am really afraid, afraid that those armor soldiers will rush into my house with swords while I am sleeping, point to my head and say, you rebel, you will die quickly, and then cut off my head with a knife. ”

Yuan Zhishan's voice trembled a little, and Lu Liu's heart was also slightly painful, so he stepped forward and gently hugged Yuan Zhishan from behind, and said softly: "Those thrones or something, too far away from the slave maid, high like a cloud on the horizon, I don't understand, but what Mr. did was a great event to save people's lives, and the slave and maid were despicable people, and they would die if they died, but a saint like Mr. believed that even the King of Jing'an would appreciate and pity Mr. 's talent." ”

Yuan Zhishan smiled bitterly, broke Lu Liu's arm, and said: "The three surnames of the house slave can't do it, can the two surname house slaves do it? I, Yuan Zhishan, have no merit, but I am also a scholar." ”

"I used to be like you, just like the carbon ash in this brazier, no one cares even if I die, but I believe in my eyesight. ”

When he said this, Yuan Zhishan's voice was like the wind in this cold night, and the cold green willow's body trembled, but then it turned into a smile full of carelessness.

"Nothing else, your husband knows some Taoism, and he has told the fortune of this prince, and he is not a thin one. ”

"You and I are the same as the master and servant, and we will be extremely glorious in the future, today I still like the words of the Sun family, but I don't like it as much as in the past, besides, after today, who can say that we are cheap, who has the courage and ability to trample us into the ground like ashes?"

Yuan Zhishan pushed open the window, and the moonlight shone in, he missed the days of reading books by the moonlight in those years, but if he was given a choice, he was 10,000 unwilling to go back.

People always rejoice from nothing, and are sad from nothing, and they are not fools or saints, he thought so, and smiled bitterly, letting the cold wind blow on his face and causing pain, but he was also motionless.
