Chapter 34: Annoyance
Li He smiled at Huangfu and said, "Tired of running back and forth with the main brother, Changji is ashamed to be ashamed." Sit down and have a cup of tea and rest. I'll move out in a minute. ”
Huangfu opened his mouth a few times, and sat down to drink tea with his head depressed.
Li He asked Quan Xuan, "Brother Da Gui, do you know which inn is convenient for going to the medicine market?"
Quan Xuan was ignorant and still hasn't reacted. Seeing that Li He asked him, he hurriedly said, "What inn are you going to live in?" My family has an idle house, not far from the medicine market. Why don't you just stay there and take you to do some things for my brother. ”
Cui Zhi hurriedly said: "Brother Zhizheng, what the hell is going on?
Shen Yazhi even walked in front of Huangfu and looked at him with blank eyes.
Huangfu finished the tea in one gulp and slammed the empty cup on the ground. The teacup shattered with a snap, and everyone's hearts became heavier with the sound of the teacup.
Huangfu Xiang, who has always been simple and simple, burst out with a foul language at this time: "What kind of dynasty is Qingming, recruiting talents? It's all bullshit." The jealous words of a bunch of sour talents made these people in power afraid. Everyone wishes that Changji didn't take the test, and it wasn't to protect their black yarn hat. Phew!"
"What's going on?" Hearing that Huangfu is words involved a lot, everyone asked in unison.
Huangfu swallowed his saliva, wanting to elaborate on the details.
was stopped by Li He waving his hand: "Brother Zhizheng doesn't have to be angry. This matter has long been predestined, and it is useless to say more. There are a lot of people in the hall, so I don't have to cause you any trouble. Brother Dagui, then Changji won't be polite to you. Let's go!"
Li He's salute was nothing more than a package, which was placed on the square table at this time. Li He stood up and held it in his hand casually, beckoning Quan Xuan to go out. Quan Xuan stood up in a daze, and when he saw that everyone was stunned, he was also a little at a loss.
Li He went straight to the carriage parking place in the backyard, put the reins on the two horses that were eating under the stable, and adjusted the direction of the carriage. At this time, a group of friends who came to their senses rushed over. Shen Yazhi was still carrying two large packages in his hands, and Changgui and Qingyan behind him also followed with each of them.
Shen Yazhi shouted: "Changji, don't be sad. These are all brought to you by Pei Gong... I'm still living with you. ”
Li Helang smiled: "You see when I'm sad. I didn't say it a long time ago. Also, Brother Xiaxian, you live in the guild hall to prepare for the scientific examination. I'll be back in two days, it's too much trouble for you to move around with me. ”
Unexpectedly, Shen Yazhi was very stubborn, and got into the carriage by himself, as if he was angry. Wang Shenyuan also climbed into the carriage immediately, Cui Zhi and Huangfu Xiang hesitated for a moment, and also got into the carriage one after another. After the last time, even Changgui and Qingyan also got into the car, and Quan Xuan saw Li He sitting on the side of the wheel, ready to catch the car, and gritted his teeth and climbed onto the wheel.
In this way, Li He and his entourage drove the carriage out of the Henan Hall. But the pavilion was stunned, and he didn't know what was going on. By the time he came to his senses and chased him out, the carriage had already gone away.
The entourage waiting at the gatehouse saw that the master had left with Li Gongzi, and they all hurriedly set up a car and chased after him.
The people who went to the test in the Henan Hall were all holding books, but they were actually watching the movement here. Seeing that this henchman had finally left, they were all relieved.
Some people even whispered: "Do you expect to be able to take the exam with the help of Lord Han? Don't you know that no matter how arrogant you are, you have to bow your head." ”
That is, the system of the imperial court must be followed. It doesn't matter how talented you are. If you don't take the township exam, you want to participate in the spring festival directly, but there is no door. ”
Guan Cheng didn't catch up when he went out, and when he came back, he heard these discussions, and angrily reprimanded: "You still pretend to be scholars, and you are not even as good as a commoner in the market." Jealousy and jealousy, literati are light. You're just in the middle of the lift, and you don't have a big deal. Be honest with me, be careful if you talk too much and flash your tongue. ”
Quan Xuan sat on the wheel and was ready to show the way, but he didn't need to take it at all. Li He drove the carriage to Chongyi, Chang'an, a private residence of the Quan family.
Quan Xuan secretly wondered: Could it be that Changji has already arrived here.
The gatekeeper saw that his eldest son was sitting on the wheel in a daze, and they all came up to greet him.
Quan Xuan came to his senses at this time and ordered: "Li Gongzi and Shen Gongzi will stay here, you go and call the steward to come over, I have something to say." ”
The servant of the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the door, and immediately went to call the steward of the house. Li He drove the carriage to the courtyard, and got out of the carriage to untie the reins.
still wanted to be busy, but was pulled by Quan Xuan: "Just leave these chores to the subordinates, let's discuss your imperial examination." This is my private house, and it doesn't have ears through walls. While we are all here, let's discuss how to deal with it. ”
Huangfu Xiang and others who got out of the car also said yes, and hugged Li He and walked inside.
This is a three-entry mansion, the courtyard is connected by a curved corridor, and flowers and trees are planted all over. Although it is early spring, the courtyard is already full of greenery and elegance.
As soon as they entered the main hall of the first entrance, they saw an old man who looked like a steward greeted them.
Facing the guests again and again, he asked the master and said, "Uncle, the villain took the liberty to ask." There are a few sons to move in, and the villains are easy to arrange. ”
This old steward was quite sophisticated, and when he saw Li He surrounded by everyone, he learned that this person must be the right master, and he was especially respectful to Li He.
Quan Xuan was very satisfied, and ordered: "Uncle Qian, Li Gongzi and Shen Gongzi will live and study here from today. Li Gongzi didn't bring anyone, you arranged for a few maids and scholars to follow and serve. Food and clothing must be attentive to daily life, and do not wait for guests. ”
The old steward Qian Bo took a step back and exclaimed to Li He: "Could it be that Gongzi Li is Li Changji, who is famous in the two capitals?"
Seeing Li He's smile and give his hand, Qian Bo became more respectful. He waved at Li He again and again, and the words of admiration in his mouth were endless.
"The villain is fortunate to see the dignity of the son, which is really a blessing for three lives. Uncle can rest assured, all the daily life of Li Gongzi and Shen Gongzi is wrapped up in Xiao Lao'er. ”
As he spoke, he arranged for the maid to serve tea, and he took the servants down to arrange the room staff.
Huangfu said angrily: "Look, even a subordinate has admired the name of Changji for a long time, and these powerful people of the court are blind?"
These words are a bit heavy, the elders of Quan Xuan and Cui Zhi here are all powerful people today, and Huang Fu Xiang did not choose to speak, and even two friends also piggybacked.
This made Quan Cui and the others quite embarrassed, and they both blushed and bowed their heads silently. I was also secretly annoyed in my heart, so I waited to go home and ask my father at home.
Li He smiled and waved his hand to stop Huangfu Xiang's anger, and said solemnly: "Brother Zheng, you have to restrain your temper." Han Gong arranged for you to go to the Ministry of Industry at the beginning, which was really prescient. The court is treacherous, and a word can cause a monstrous disaster. You are like this, how can Han Gong rest assured? Changji has already calculated the future for all the brothers. Brother Huangfu, do you want to know your future end?"
The emperor who was still in anger was stunned for a moment, and saw that Li He's eyes were clear and his eyes were full of sympathy and pity.
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and stuttered: "I think, of course the foolish brother also wants to know the way." I know I'm not in a good temper. It's a hindrance to my future, isn't it?"
Li He sighed and said: "This is not the Taizong period, and forcing one's face will not only affect oneself, but also affect family members and friends. Brother Zheng, you must change. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it. ”
"Is it possible to promote unhealthy tendencies and let them do whatever they want?" said Huangfu with a stiff neck.
Li He shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "When a gentleman has something to do, it is within his power. As long as the righteousness in the heart lasts forever, it is not spoken, and it is worthy of the faith in the heart. There will be no difference in the line. Do you understand?"
And they saw that all the people were silent, and they were all thinking about his words. Li He said: "Born as a human being, he seeks his own affairs in his position." Wholeheartedly serving the country and the people, justice is always there, which is the meaning of life. Why bother to pursue power and seek status? Leaving a name in history is not in a political position. Why don't you follow Brother Mengzhuo's example. ”
Huang Fu Xiang was already in a cold sweat at this time, and asked in a trembling voice: "The ending of the foolish brother is not good, is it?"
Li He nodded and said, "If you don't listen to Changji's words, you will regret it for your relatives and friends in the future." In the future, when you encounter injustice, you must think about Changji's words today. Be cautious and cautious. ”
Seeing that Li He said heavily, the emperor responded to the throne. But he still didn't keep his mouth shut. not only caused his uncle to be demoted to another country, but also fell for the rest of his life.
At this time, Huangfu Xiang still talked to his friends about Du Shilang looking for him. The words still reveal the meaning of power.
Although Quan Deyu told Du Shilang not to say that it was his idea, what kind of person is Du Congyuan, how can he carry this black pot for him. When narrating to Huangfu Xiang, it was still faintly revealed that it was the power minister's match. Anyway, Li He is his son's friend, since everyone is not happy, you don't want to hide from it.
It's just that when it is paraphrased, it is a little more subtle. A great talent like Huangfu Xiang, how can he not hear the sound outside the strings?
Before he finished speaking, Quan Xuan couldn't sit still. The good boy, who was originally gentle and elegant, was quite angry at this time. jumped up and was about to leave the guests and go home, settle accounts with his father, and was caught by Li He.
"Brother Da Gui, don't be impatient. This matter has nothing to do with Ling Zun, and Changji knows it. The reason why I am willing to come to your private residence today is to make a statement, and I do not mean to blame Ling Zun at all. You came a moment late at noon, and you didn't hear anything about me. When you know the ambition of Lu Dao Changji, you won't be so angry. ”
Quan Xuan was still angry: "Why doesn't it have anything to do with him? He is not from the Ministry of Rites, what do you want him to do? Now that you have cut off your career path, how can this make the foolish brother bear it?" said that his eyes were a little red.
Li He said quietly: "Ling Zun is in a phase, and he wants to share his worries for the court. You and I are at odds with each other, and it is better for Ling Zun to speak. That's what it means, why don't you understand it?"
Li He said and glanced at Shen Yazhi's envoy.
Shen Yazhi understood, and said with a straight face: "Changji has already calculated this result." I came to Chang'an to round my teacher's kindness. And Changji has already hung the pot in his hometown to help the world and start teaching apprentices. No longer the wish of our career. Brother Dagui doesn't have to be serious about this matter. ”
Li He was stunned when he saw Quan Xuan, and said with a smile: "Changji has long been unwilling to be here, so why should Brother Dagui be persistent." Forced Nagayoshi to do things against his will. The current situation is exactly what I want, and it's too late for Changji to be happy!"
Huangfu hesitated and said, "But the prince of Qi has already found a job for you in the imperial court." ”
Li He smiled: "Then I won't give in." ”
As he was talking, the servant who rushed in from outside hurriedly said, "Uncle, Lord Qi sent someone to ask Li Gongzi to come over the mansion to speak." ”
