This group of students walked in front, followed by Li Mingyue and others. The little girl was riding on the horse, her feet swaying slightly, and she was traveling thousands of miles away.
All the way to the north are deep mountains with no human habitation. I am afraid that it will take until noon tomorrow to find a place to eat and drink water. In other words, Li Mingyue and others will have to be hungry for another day.
In fact, as practitioners, especially those who have reached the realm of Jingkong and Wang Quan, there is nothing wrong with not eating or drinking for a year and a half. They can really eat wind and drink dew, and Li Mingyue can actually persist for ten and a half days.
, As for Huang Qinghan, it’s hard to say. After all, what state she is in now, let alone Li Mingyue, Wang Quan and Jingkong can’t tell, and even she herself doesn’t know. But judging from the previous situation, Huang Qinghan should be better than
Li Mingyue is more tolerable.
The key is that it's fine if you don't eat or drink, but if you see others eating, it will be different. Just like before, Li Mingyue and Huang Qinghan both had something to eat, but Wang Quan and Jingkong could only watch. They didn't feel anything at first, so they would.
Feeling a little hungry.
Just like now, Li Mingyue and others didn't actually feel hungry, but when they saw the group of students sitting down and eating the dry food prepared in advance, their stomachs began to growl.
The late autumn night wind was a bit cold, so Li Mingyue made a bonfire like the students. The four of them sat down around the bonfire, and the white horse was tied to a tree trunk by Wang Quan.
There were seven students in total. At this moment, a thin student came over. After bowing, he took out a canvas bag and said shyly: "The food I brought is not much. If you don't mind it..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Quan had already stood up. As a result, the scholar held the canvas bag in his hand and said, "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."
After saying that, he sat down again. Then he felt it was impolite, so he moved his buttocks to make room for the scholar and said, "Sit, sit, sit."
The scholar quickly waved his hand and said, "No need."
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Then you guys will just deal with tonight. Xiaosheng will take his leave."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully, then turned around and walked back.
Wang Quan couldn't wait to open the canvas bag and found four biscuits. They were all common dry biscuits. They were not worth a few copper coins, but they could indeed satisfy his hunger.
If there were only three or two, he could then take revenge on Li Mingyue or Huang Qinghan, or he could watch the little monk who was the reincarnation of the Buddha get into trouble. But there were exactly four, so he could only have one for each of them.
Huang Qinghan was of course not polite. She grabbed two in one hand and handed one to Li Mingyue.
Wang Quan looked at the remaining two and was about to speak, but Jingkong had already taken one, so Wang Quan could only pick up the last one, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
Damn, you're either an imperial uncle, a literary sage, or the reincarnation of the Buddha. All in all, you're the most vulgar one. Don't you guys have more or less style?
He quickly put the last piece of cake into his mouth. If he didn't eat it, he might not even be able to keep the last piece.
After eating a small piece of cake, the four of them had a look of happiness on their faces.
It must be that eating people is soft-mouthed. After Wang Quan finished eating, he said with satisfaction: "These scholars are not that bad."
Of course Huang Qinghan knew that he was speaking to herself, so she curled her lips, but still raised her eyes to look at the thin student.
I don’t know if it was because he shared his food with Li Mingyue and others. After this man returned to the team, the others seemed to be somewhat prejudiced against him and alienated him intentionally or unintentionally.
Regarding this, the student didn't know whether he didn't notice it or didn't care. He stretched out his hand to warm the firewood and remained unmoved.
After Wang Quan finished eating, he looked at the cautious canvas bag in his hand. He didn't know what to do with it for a moment, so he threw the canvas bag to Li Mingyue, meaning that Li Mingyue would return it.
He will definitely not be able to control Jingkong. As for the little girl named Huang Qinghan, it is even more impossible. Then there is only Li Mingyue. There is no way. Among these people, Li Mingyue is the best to bully, and he is the kind of person who will not fight back or scold.
Spoken "good guy".
Huang Qinghan said that he looked like a scholar. At this time, Wang Quan felt that it really made sense.
If a person is kind, he will be bullied, and if a horse is kind, he will be bullied. If you don't bully, who will you bully?
Li Mingyue took the canvas bag, stood up and walked over there, then returned the canvas bag to the student, not forgetting to say thank you.
The other students looked at the two with some contempt, and some even taunted in a low voice: "Birds of a feather flock together."
Then a student echoed: "If the poor don't sympathize with the poor, who will?"
Then someone else said: "I don't know what your Majesty is thinking. It's just a matter of abolishing business and not becoming an official. Now, even students from poor families can go to Beijing."
Someone said proudly: "You don't know this, but my husband said that Confucianism will have a great future, and it is not impossible to even overtake Taoism. Naturally, our Emperor must plan the future of the Tang Dynasty carefully."
."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at that person, and someone behind them said: "Is there still such a statement? But didn't Taoism just have an old heavenly master ascended not long ago? In addition to Chen Daoling before, Taoism can
There are two big figures who have ascended to the throne. Can our Confucianism really overwhelm Taoism which is in the limelight? I don’t think it is possible.”
Everyone nodded along.
When the topic was opened, everyone started chatting endlessly. No one cared about Li Mingyue and the shabby student.
Li Mingyue didn't care about the conversation between these people. After returning the canvas bag, she turned around and walked back.
Of course he knew that Chen Daoling was not a Taoist, but the whole world thought so. He couldn't stand up and defend himself against these people, and there was absolutely no need to do so.
Not to mention these people, even he, Chen Daoling's personal disciple, always felt that the old Taoist was a Taoist. Otherwise, he would not have been doubtful about the Sanqing Temple in Qingyuan Mountain. Therefore, Chen Daoling was a Taoist.
persuasive.
There was no talking all night until dawn.
Early in the morning, the group of students continued their journey, and Li Mingyue and others followed. After all, they were all going to Haojing, and following these students was a guarantee for Li Mingyue.
Since these students have all gone to Beijing to take part in the Autumn Imperial Examination, the killers who were already taking orders from Hao Jing should not be too blatant, otherwise the matter will escalate and the royal family will offend the entire Confucian school and all the scholars in the world.
In fact, since meeting these students, Li Mingyue and others have indeed not been assassinated again. After all, the emperor of Haojing wants Li Mingyue's identity to be exposed more than anyone else.
Once Li Mingyue's identity is revealed to the world, the threat to him will only be greater than it is now. Whether it is the forces that are ready to move or the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even if they don't take any actions, they will have some ideas. To be orthodox
, Li Mingyue is much more orthodox than his Majesty the Emperor. Although seventeen years have passed, he has always been staring at the label of "regicide and usurping the throne", but no one dares to say it. If it is
Once Li Mingyue's identity is made public, this hat will become even bigger.
It is said that people's words are scary, but what is really scary are those people who always want to be famous as dragon warriors. Once these guys pop up, even if they can't accomplish anything great, they will cause a lot of trouble.
In addition, there is the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce.
The history of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is known to everyone with some status in the entire Tang Dynasty. Although the original intention of the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is for the stability and prosperity of the entire Tang Dynasty, it was founded by Li Mingyue's mother after all. No one can guarantee whether the Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce will be successful because of
Because of their original friendship, they forced Li Mingyue to the throne? The Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce is fully capable of this.
And this was what His Majesty the Emperor was most worried about, especially after Scenery appeared in Jinzhou to rescue Li Mingyue, it confirmed His Majesty the Emperor's worries.
This is also the reason why the closer Li Mingyue was to Haojing, the less likely the imperial army came to intercept and kill him.
What is more terrifying than the truth about Li Mingyue's identity being revealed is that he sent someone to assassinate Li Mingyue. Originally, what happened seventeen years ago has put a hat on him. If the story of sending someone to assassinate Li Mingyue spreads again, then he, the emperor, will
, it is inevitable to be criticized by others, and if not, some people may rebel under the banner of crusade. This kind of thing is common in history.
After all, there are many people who want to be the emperor, but they just don’t have a suitable excuse or reason. Once they have this excuse and reason, all the vassals and princes will be ready to take action. If they have a good reputation, they can win over the people.
support.
This is very scary.
Don't look at those common people who don't understand anything. They have been working as cows and horses all their lives, working hard without complaint. But if they really want to rebel, they will become the most terrifying force. Confucian sages have said, "The people are water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat."
, can also overturn a boat." What else is there to say: "The people are more important, the king is less important, and the country is second."
The words of a sage may not be right, but they are certainly not wrong.
On horseback, Huang Qinghan suddenly asked: "Can we see snowflakes as big as fists?"
Li Mingyue, who was walking in front, was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't know."
This was said by Jingjing. Of course he didn't know. He had never been to Haojing.
When she mentioned the scenery, Li Mingyue couldn't help but look back, hoping to see that sloppy man who always had a smile on his face, appearing in his sight with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the official road.
Ahead, the shabby student should also know that Li Mingyue and others were going to Haojing, and he was not welcomed by his companions, so he simply slowed down and waited for Li Mingyue and others to come up, then walked with Li Mingyue and others without going.
by the looks of those companions.
After Li Mingyue and others caught up, the student smiled and asked, "Young Master is also going to Beijing to take the exam?"
In fact, Huang Qinghan was right. Li Mingyue did look like a scholar, and he was a scholar from a poor family. Perhaps it was because of this that the student asked this question.
He guessed in his heart that Li Mingyue was also a student who went to Beijing to take the exam. As for the girl, she should be the daughter of a wealthy family, and the old man with the bamboo hat was the girl's servant. As for the monk, he didn't think about it.
, as if I didn’t understand why these people came together.
