There is a high tower famous both at home and abroad outside Liujing City, Jinbang Tower, because every time you win a new Jinshi, you will be nominated on the inner wall of this tower.

In addition to the names of the new Jinshi, they will be carved on the walls by official seals. The Jinbang Tower will also record the beautiful poems that are recognized as winning the title of poetry within a year. Those who are selected are also praised by the court and the public as uncrowned Jinshi. The good poems will be summarized and commented by dozens of literary masters, including the mountain master of the Confucian Academy, at the end of the year, and generally select at most ten poems. If there is something missing within a year, it is better to have nothing than to be extra. There are no years on the list. These poems or written by themselves can also be written by famous calligraphers, and the latter is often the latter. The poems and characters are combined on the inner wall of the pyramid, shining brightly, and naturally it is a great beauty.

The walls inside the tower are extremely high and wide, and the good poems are written quite small, so when you look up, you will give people the feeling of "the Southern Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for thousands of years."

In the night, a group of six people entered the Jinbang Tower and climbed up the steps. The lights had already been lit in the tower, as bright as daylight.

Before climbing to the sixth floor of the top floor, half of the people stayed on the fifth floor. These three people were all trusted followers, standing with each other as a supporter. Everyone had a solemn face and a long breath, like a surging river. They were obviously masters of the master level.

All three of them were wearing casual clothes and traveling to the Jinbang Tower at night. The two were elegant in temperament, one generation apart in age, and the other was majestic and majestic. They were less than fifty years old and could not hide their rough atmosphere on the battlefield.

Twenty years ago, these three were already famous three brothers in Liujing. At that time, one was the most well-founded royal relative, the other was a foreign resident who had become famous all over the world after entering Liujing. A poor and poor man who failed the imperial examinations many times. By chance, the three of them were like each other and became sworn brothers of different surnames. They never hid them afterwards. In the first few years, they drank flowers, fought against the powerful and hosted banquets. The three were almost inseparable. Twenty years later, the royal relatives were still the royal relatives who were neither high nor low. However, the ranger became a powerful general with a powerful border pass by the military achievements of fighting. One of the pillars of the border army in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The poor and poor man jumped over the dragon gate again and again, and eventually became an extremely noble bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

However, after the Feng Shui cycle, the other two people who had become successful still had no change in their attitude towards the elder brother with the same surname as the country.

The three of them gathered together almost every year, which is well known to everyone in Liujing. In addition, they were unable to inherit the title of the King of Huai'an, who was demoted to the three-character king according to the laws of the vassal states, was a famous person with no ambition. The court and the people of Liujing never argued about their gathering. On the contrary, they praised a lot of praise for the great achievements of the other two in civil and military affairs. Even rumored that today's joked about this in his early years, saying that you, the King of Huai'an, is a fool, and even I envy your luck.

Huang Zhengyang, the king of Huai'an, was at this moment when he looked up at the wall with his head and looked at the slim old man with his big belly and his hands on his white jade belt. With the brilliant light, he squinted his eyes at the three poems that were closest.

Huang Zhengyang's lineage was a real neighbor of the Southern Tang royal family. He had been rough since childhood and did not like poetry and prose, and liked flying eagles and lackeys. He had never had great ambitions and talents. His grandfather was the son of Emperor Wen of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was quite fond of Emperor Wen, but he voluntarily gave up the battle for the throne. His father was eventually inherited and successfully won the title of "King Liu" with one character shoulder to shoulder. He had a vast fiefdom and was close to the capital. He could almost be called the leader of the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, his son fought hard in the internal struggle. The poor Huang Zhengyang, who was not willing to seek, was affected. The jurisdiction of the vassal king was divided into four parts. Fortunately, today's son probably liked Huang Zhengyang's temperament, gave the biggest part, and was awarded the title of King Huaian, with the name An. Among the many names of the vassal kings, it is a very honorable and special precious word.

Therefore, Huai'an King Huang Zhengyang is also famous for being the "King of Taiping County".

Above the wall.

There is a moonlight on the bed and the ground, and the sound of the river is like drums and wind.

Some are also cut into a fan fan, like the bright moon. When you enter and exit the sleeves of your arms, shaking the breeze.

There is no other way to take advantage of the important roads.

The first-class prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty smiled and said, "Singing in the scenery, thinking about emotions, and reminiscing about the past."

Yu Wanli, a bachelor of the school, smiled and said, "All good sentences."

Concise and concise.

In fact, Yu Wanli is one of the commentators for his poetry list this year.

General Li Chun is burly and almost half a head taller than his two best friends. "Lao Yu, you are bragging about Wang Po, who is so embarrassed!"

Huang Zhengyang echoed and joked: "Lao Yu is thick-skinned, so you need to say that? Otherwise, he could take a woman of his granddaughter as a concubine?"

The senator from the Academy shook his head and sighed: "It's too late to regret it if you make friends."

The three of them walked side by side to the window, looking at Liujing from afar, Huang Zhengyang whispered: "This southern continent has been stagnant for thousands of years, and it is time to change the world. The strong wind first started in our Southern Tang Dynasty, which is also a grand event. It will live up to our Southern Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years and endure it. It will not be in vain for my grandfather to endure the humiliation..."

Li Chun frowned and whispered: "Be careful!"

Yu Wanli laughed and said, "It's also a strange thing. Dahuang and I, one born in the imperial family and the other living beside the emperor, are not as timid and cautious as you, a reckless man who fights on the border?"

Li Chun snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Although the overall situation is settled, you must not take it lightly! In the history books, the poor man who is at its peak but fails, do you want me to bring out a hundred people for you?"

Huang Zhengyang turned around and reached out to point out the outstanding military general, "It's as timid as a mouse, you should change positions with Lao Yu."

Li Chun said seriously: "Brother!"

After hearing this title, Huai'an King Huang Zhengyang smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about state affairs tonight, let alone world affairs."

Li Chun wanted to speak but stopped, and was a little annoyed.

"But it's okay."

Yu Wanli waved his hand and looked restrained, "Xiaochun, don't look at Fu Xiang's loss just now, this person should not be underestimated, you still have to keep a close eye on him."

Li Chun nodded and said, "Fu Xiang must be my old enemy in this life, and I will never be despised."

Yu Wanli said again: "Pang Bing, the Grand Master of Zhuque, has already shown signs of becoming a saint, but it is a little earlier than the one in the Sui Dynasty. I just don't know if Pang Bing was forced by the situation and had to rush. If he became a false saint of Confucianism, it would be better. However, the Surprise Que Confucian scholar who really needs us to be wary of may not be Pang Bing, but... that person. After all, he made great efforts to divide the matter of Zhuque and went with the flow. Pang Bing was determined to protect the country, which was against the trend, and one went up and down, poor Pang Bing..."

Li Chun remained silent.

In the final analysis, these things are just the family affairs of Confucianism in the world, and even the internal affairs of Jisui Academy.

Finally, Yu Wanli, one of the overlords of the literary world in Southern Tang, stretched out his hand forward, as if holding the entire Liujing City, clenched his fists, and then slowly handed it to Huang Zhengyang, spread his palms, and said with a smile: "Brother, I will leave this world to you."

At this moment, Huang Zhengyang of the Prince of Taiping was particularly majestic, not inferior to Yu Wanli and Li Chun at all, and sneered: "It was just taking back what should belong to me from that waste, everything was just returning the original owner!"

The brothel girl who said she would never sell herself, died.

That night, a carriage entered the alley of Silverfish Hutong and threw the cold corpse that was casually rolled into a quilt at the entrance of a small courtyard. A purse bag containing thirty or forty taels of silver.

It probably means that the fate of a girl is only worth this number.

The body was first discovered by the night patrolman, and soon the entire alley was awakened.

The girl's grandfather, the old man knelt beside the corpse, trembling, stretched out his dry palm, and stroked his granddaughter's face, as if she was just sleeping.

After the girl died, the poor alleys that had been ignored all of a sudden, and the carriages were rushing. In just a few days, there were high-ranking officials, county magistrates with bright official uniforms, arrogant yamen clerks, and coroners who had autopsy. The people in the yamen were very dedicated to serving the people, saying that they would make the elderly report to the officials and shout for justice for them, and would not find any faults for him and the girl who died suddenly. There were also many gangsters who were traversing the rivers and rivers, some gangsters who were called wind and rain in the south of Liujing City, and some tyrants from the territory, including Huya Fang, but neither side was close to the yard, but they were either standing in a distance or drinking in a nearby restaurant.

The young gangsters who were already disgusted with the young gangsters in Silverfish Hutong Lane have wandered around the alley these days, wandering around, revealing many conclusive rumors, saying that the girl was fortunate to enter the royal family and princes. Not only did she bow her head and act cautiously, she dared to make money. When she steals, she hit the judicious servant on duty. It's fine, she also committed a murder on the spot and injured a vase with an official kiln. The man is still lying on the sickbed. When his injuries are healed, he may have to report to the official sooner or later. There are several witnesses around her. The girl failed to steal but injured her. After resisting, she was beaten to death. It was such a foregone conclusion...

Most of these gangsters did not forget to say that they were very disgusted and sarcastic, saying that they were really unlucky. The woman was such a ungrateful thing. She didn't enjoy the blessings she was so full of money that she insisted on eating this pain for nothing!

The money bag that the brothel servant had left behind seemed to be temporarily confiscated, saying that it was evidence, and only when the truth was revealed could Old Man Liu take it back.

The girl had no savings at home. After she died, she was still the alleys with the same age, and the money she paid for and helped to buy a mourning hall. The scholars named Song and the elders of neighbors and neighbors contributed their efforts.

The new neighbor of all the people in the alley only knew that the young woman named Huang was not in Silverfish Hutong Lane the day before the girl died. When she came back, she could only see a coffin.

She didn't seem to be particularly angry, but she often sat on the threshold near the coffin, staring blankly.

Or you just support the elderly and occasionally go out to bask in the sun.

The old man had a recliner, which was bought secretly by the girl after earning her first money as a novice in Jingshuilou. The old man could not resist the girl's insistence, so he did not ask her to return it to the shop.

At that time, she smiled and said, Grandpa, just wait and enjoy the happiness. These are all small money. We don’t have to save too much money in the future. We can definitely buy whatever we want.

Today the old man was lying on the chair. For some reason, he was very energetic and did not use the young woman to support him. He walked to the yard by himself, not like the old man who was plagued by old illness at all.

During these days, the old man never yelled about the unfairness of the world, nor did he ask for help to send him to the yamen to beat drums and make trouble.

So in the end, no one was dragged down by the old man, so no one thought that the old man was an old birthday star and ate arsenic-frost. Therefore, in the dark, there were some big figures hiding behind the scenes. They felt that the old man named Liu was still tactful, so they did not gain a stance.

On this day, the old man turned his head, looked at the young woman, and said softly: "Miss Huang, this is all fate, no one can blame others. Don't be too sad. If you want to blame, you can only blame me. Damn it, which caused Xiao Qian to cure me..."

Speaking of this, the old man smiled with difficulty, "Let's just think that Xiao Qian was reincarnated and enjoyed happiness earlier. I just want God not to let Xiao Qian reincarnate into a home like me in the next life, so that Xiao Qian can join a good family. I dare not expect her to be a daughter in the big family in our own door, and at least not to endure hardship."

She nodded.

I vaguely remember a girl who was chanting like a noisy little sparrow. Over time, she got bored, so she went out to hide in peace, to see the kites flying around, and to listen to the whistles of pigeons one after another.

Sister Huang, are you a foreigner?

Sister Huang, Song Shunzi said that the first time a foreigner came to our Liujing, he would be shocked by the tall and spectacular walls. Listen, it’s amazing? If you have someone you like in the future, you must take him to see the walls of our Liujing, especially those in the north. You must go there.

Grandpa always says that it’s great to live, and you can’t care about God so many things. If God is unhappy, it will be over...

Sister Huang, next time I will take you to the palace examination, there will be a Tanhualang riding a horse to travel to the city, with a crowd of people, and it is so lively!

...

A century of great plans, a thousand years of events, and a great cause of mountains and rivers.

The glorious Southern Tang Dynasty, the great Liujing.

Just an unknown girl died.

However, Huang Donglai was frowning, as if he was afraid that he would do something strange, an embarrassing thing that she felt she would never have the chance to be with her in her life.

I heard the old man looking up at the sky and smiled and said, "Miss Huang, after Xiao Qian met you, it was probably the happiest period of her life. It was really good. It seems that Xiao Qian has not laughed so much in her life."

Huang Donglai's lips trembled and he didn't turn his head to look at the old man.

The old man suddenly turned his head, "There may be something to bother you."

Huang Donglai nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Liu, don't worry, I will do my best to Xiao Qian's funeral..."

The old man smiled kindly, turned his head again, lay comfortably, and slowly closed his eyes, "Then I will feel at ease. Xiao Qian has been timid since she was a child, so that she will not be afraid of leaving."

The old man's anger gradually disappeared until he disappeared.

Huang Dong looked back and forth and looked at the mourning hall.

She slowly stood up.

———

After the girl's first seventh.

In the alley in the night, a tall figure stood in front of a low yellow mud wall, assisted for a few steps, supported his hands on the wall, and turned over.

As expected, the man was reading at night with the lights as usual, but compared to the past, something different tonight was that the window was opened, which made the people who climbed the wall wonder when the miser named Song had become so stingy. In the past, he was afraid that the wind would consume the lamp oil and never wanted to open the window to air. This man tiptoed and wanted to say hello to the window, but was shocked. It turned out that a figure suddenly stood at the window. The figure hesitated for a moment, but did not blow out the lights, but climbed out the window and ran out with an uninvited guest, as if he had been waiting for a rabbit. The only study seed in Silverfish Hutong Lane pulled the man's arm and lowered his voice: "Xu Crazy, go to the bottom of the wall and say, don't wake my parents."

The "snake thief" was the golfer Xu Tao, and said angrily: "Just your parents' snoring is louder than thunder, who can wake them up?"

The scholar named Song did not confront him, and pulled Xu Tao to the wall and whispered: "What's the matter?"

Xu Crazy Hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's nothing big, I'll have to go around elsewhere in the future. Say apart to you boy. Although we won't deal with you since childhood, if I beat you and scold me, no one can win, but no matter what, we grew up together since childhood. I feel that if I don't tell you, I will seem to be unrighteous enough, right? By the way, the surname Song, study hard and become a high-ranking official in the future! Give us a long face in Silverfish Hutong Lane!"

The scholar Song He stared at Xu Caizi, "Where can you go? Do you think I am a fool?"

Xu Caizi was a little impatient, "Do you care about me?! I will have no worries about my family. I will have this meal all day long and I will just be a waste of time. People like me have a low life and don't take it seriously, and it is worthless..."
To be continued...
