Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Way Is Different
Ye Xingyuan saw it in his eyes, and could only secretly sigh that this was the reason why the three monks had no water to eat. At this time, everyone was shrinking back, thinking that someone else would always come forward, but everyone was united in one heart, and the scene cooled down.
For Ouyang's senior, the alliance leader, this cannon is dumb, which is too frustrating. If this continues, I'm afraid that the expulsion will become a joke. There is no one who dares to face Zhou Zhi County, what else is there to talk about?
"A gentleman is a dead confidant, lift a sword out of Yanjing!" Just when Wan Ma Qi was in a good position, Ye Xingyuan groaned loudly and stepped forward proudly. laughed and said: "Senior Ouyang, since no one else dares to go, then let me go!"
After doing this far, how can it be possible to stop? Ye Xingyuan was majestic and high-spirited, which was in stark contrast to what others avoided him.
Ye Xingyuan seemed to feel that there was a heavenly opportunity to guide him to do something, he didn't know if others felt this way, but he recognized that his feeling was not an illusion.
Perhaps it is because one's words and deeds have unconsciously used spiritual power, and as a result, they have touched the heavens, and the heavens have in turn guided them? This feeling is very mysterious, could it be the "heaven-man induction" as the sage said?
Ouyang Juren was a little hesitant, he had really regarded Ye Xingyuan as a nephew, and he was even more optimistic about his future, this kind of hateful thing, he didn't want Ye Xingyuan to do it. But now there are no other candidates who volunteer, so what can I do?
Ye Xingyuan saw Ouyang Juren's concern, took the petition from his hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't do it." Now, only by taking advantage of the situation, can I still retreat?"
Ouyang Juren suddenly came to his senses, and what Ye Xingyuan said was reasonable. Others may be able to fool the past, and with Ye Xingyuan's performance today, he has probably been on the blacklist of the county government. Compared to this, going to the county government to submit a letter is nothing at all.
The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the black hand of Zhou Zhixian - I don't understand how Wang Juren died here. Others cowered just now, and to a large extent, they were worried about their lives.
In this way, Ouyang Rin smiled bitterly and said, "You must be careful when you go." Zhou Xianzun is treacherous and deceitful, you be careful not to fall for him. If there's anything weird, get out of it quickly. ”
Ye Xingyuan instructed again: "The late students will take care of themselves, and the seniors must also be careful here." In addition to preparing for the funeral of Wang's predecessors, don't make more troubles, and pay attention to Ding Juren. "The only one who can make trouble with Ouyang Juren is this Ding Juren.
Ouyang Rin nodded yes and obeyed Ye Xingyuan's words. Ye Xingyuan took the petition. Say goodbye to everyone, white clothes are better than snow, and drift away.
It's a pity that "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return" is really unlucky, otherwise he would definitely choose this sentence to sing. However, as a poetry demon, this kind of fixed-time poem can always find a sentence and a half.
"Now with a drum of heroism, I don't envy the same as in Michi!" Ye Xingyuan's back disappeared on the mountain road, and only two sentences echoed in everyone's ears. A group of young talents were ashamed and bowed their heads and were silent.
Ye Xingyuan went all the way down the mountain and did not stop. Straight into the county seat. In the evening, he went to the county office and submitted a letter to meet Zhou Zhi County.
Now the county seat is also panicked, and the officials on duty know that the gentry of the county are all gathered to make trouble, and they are on duty at the county government almost day and night. Seeing that Yixiu came to the door, he knew that something was coming, where did he dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported it.
After a while, Huang Dian walked out with a gloomy face, looked at Ye Xingyuan and sneered, "Ye Xianggong." I didn't expect to meet again so soon. ”
When he saw Ye Xingyuan in Ouyang Juren's mansion the day before yesterday, he expected that this person would stir up trouble, so he immediately returned to Zhou Zhixian. Zhou Zhixian was very impressed by Ye Xingyuan, and now he still remembers his Xiongwen when he took the county exam. In retrospect, my hairs stand on end.
It was Zhou Zhixian's expectation that this person could be admitted to the show, and since Enke came back at this time, he must have already gained fame. Sure enough, the list of government examinations was sent to the county government, and Ye Xingyuan was the first person to be the head of the case, and Huang Dian couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Zhou Zhixian and Huang Dianguan were discussing countermeasures in the yamen. If you don't want to, you will report to the door, saying that this Ye Xingyuan came to submit a letter on behalf of the county gentry. Zhou Zhixian felt a little in his heart, so he ordered: "Huang Chagong, you go and welcome him in." ”
Huang Dianzhi is also a person who does old errands, and can be called Zhou Zhixian's henchman, hearing the word "welcome" in Zhou Zhixian's mouth, he knows the thoughts in the county's heart. Although he hated Ye Xingyuan, he had no choice but to go out and invite.
Ye Xingyuan listened to him and called him a prince, and knew that the matter of Xiucai had spread to the county, so he didn't have to bother to explain it himself.
He nodded expressionlessly and said, "The surname is Huang, Miss Ouyang's argument will be sent to the yamen in a few days! But today I am here to represent the gentry of Guiyang County, do you want to stop me here?"
Ye Xingyuan's identity has come up now, and his position is hostile, so he is naturally not polite when he speaks, and directly reprimands Huang Dian for his surname Huang.
Huang Dian could only endure it for the time being, gritted his teeth and said: "You follow me into the ya, don't let the county wait for a long time." ”
When he arrived at the back hall, Ye Xingyuan saw Zhou Zhixian only wearing regular clothes, sitting in the center, and the old god on his face was there, and there was no sadness. There is such a big event in the county, and Zhou Zhixian can still be calm, and this qi cultivation kung fu is indeed possible.
Compared with him, Ouyang Juren is a step behind, and his background as a Jinshi is not simple after all! Ye Xingyuan sighed in his heart and stepped forward to salute.
Zhou Zhixian opened his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "Yesterday, there was a report in Fucheng, saying that you won the first talent in Enke, and the official is very happy for you." I didn't expect you to come to visit today, it's a coincidence, I don't know what kind of topic the house tried out?"
He knew that Ye Xingyuan was coming to submit the book as a gentry of the county, but he was not in a hurry to ask him about his intentions, and only talked about his daily routine. Ye Xingyuan was not in a hurry, he only replied respectfully, without the slightest restraint, but he was not in a hurry to show his attitude.
Huang Dianguan was listening to the two answers, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat. Zhou Zhixian is just that, he has followed the county for two years, and knows that he is very deep in the city. But Ye Xingyuan is so young and so calm.
The county was already in a tense situation, but the two seemed to be fine. If you don't know the background, you will only think that Ye Xingyuan has made his debut in the case, and he will come back to visit the magistrate on the way.
After chatting for more than a dozen sentences, Zhou Zhixian stopped talking, his eyes swirled on Ye Xingyuan, and he suddenly changed the topic, "You are young and so talented, you will be a guest at the Qionglin banquet in less than three years." The affairs of the county have little to do with you, and the official will be transferred when he expires.
When you come back from saying goodbye to the old man, Guiyang County has already changed the world, so why do you want to wade into this troubled water? I heard that you took the lead in advocating 'driving Zhou' in Shantou Village, and it is indeed terrifying. ”
His tone was calm, and he was not angry when he talked about driving Zhou, but only stared at Ye Xingyuan aggressively. Ye Xingyuan said very freely: "Don't be surprised by the county, it's really an arrow on the string and you have to make an ear." ”
What Zhou Zhixian said, Ye Xingyuan also understood that at his age, if he could be admitted all the way, he would be awarded an official when he arrived in the capital, and he would not return to the local area. His parents died, and he was not very close to the Ye family, he only had one sister, if he did not return to his hometown for decades, there was no need to conflict with Zhou Zhixian for this.
But Ye Xingyuan's words made Zhou Zhixian a little puzzled, "Oh, what does this mean? ”
Ye Xingyuan sighed and said: "The long wife is resting to hide his tears, and he mourns the difficulties of the people's livelihood. The villagers begged earnestly, I am not a clay sculpture and wood carving, it is difficult to ignore it, I only feel that my chest is stuffed, and I don't vomit unpleasantly.
The county set the rules for rainwater, perhaps with good intentions. However, if it is too harsh, it will lose the forgiveness of the saints, and it will become an order to harm the people. The gentry of this county came from the people, and the mandate of heaven granted me the morality of protecting the place, although I was young, I did not dare to lag behind. ”
No matter how far Ye Xingyuan goes, he is born in Guiyang County, and this is his foundation. Since he came back and sought the way of people's livelihood, he naturally had to connect with the local gentry. This is the arrow on the bow, as for the words of driving Zhou, it is just a natural product.
Zhou Zhixian's eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment and said: "People-oriented, equal and wealthy, of course, it makes sense, but they are all those who can't pass the old winter baking and sticking to the way."
You're a smart person, and you don't go around in circles. In the future, if you are a Jinshi, you are also a member of my generation, and the way you act should be very different from this.
The morality we seek is the order of the court. As long as the political achievements are handed over to the top, and the criticism can be suppressed from the bottom, it is the policy of the top. If you aspire to be an official, how can you not understand the truth?"
When Ye Xingyuan had some insights before, he knew where this principle was. The saint intercepted the way of heaven and turned it into a heavenly machine that could be borrowed by scholars, and the heavenly machine was maintained and consolidated by the mandate of heaven, and the royal family was the representative of the mandate of heaven.
In the final analysis, the officialdom system of today's imperial examinations is derived from the Mandate of Heaven, and supernatural powers are all granted by the Mandate of Heaven. It is inevitable that there are officials who are superstitious about the mandate of heaven and are bent on moving upward, which is no different from those fanatical believers under the charismatic system.
Ye Xingyuan shook his head and said: "Being an official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." The county is respected, and the Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. (To be continued.) )
