After hearing this, Li Luo sighed slightly, thinking that he would not be able to see Song Wuque when he went south this time.
There was another person, Li Luo, who was very concerned about her. However, as she was the concubine of the Southern King and the head of the harem, even if Li Luo wanted to meet her again, he would not do anything rude to Meng Lang, so he had to give up.
In the past few days, I only walked around Yangnan City. After leaving the mansion, I was accompanied by officials from the mansion and the Nanwang staff. If there was anything Li Luo asked about, the people who accompanied him knew everything and didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it.
.
Li Luo never forced others to make things difficult for him, and occasionally he had secret matters. When Li Luo saw people's expressions of embarrassment, he mostly laughed it off. Unexpectedly, after returning home, Song Yayu personally came to explain to Li Luo, which actually gave Li Luo a hard time.
shock.
Nan Wangfu seems to be acting openly and aboveboard, and is not afraid to hide the truth. His sincerity is one, and showing Nanfu's momentum is another.
On this day, there was a big banquet in the mansion.
Li Luogui and Song Yayu were afraid that everyone would have a hard journey, so they did not entertain the guests. It was very quiet for several days. However, Li Luogui was the prince of Dagan, and he had to meet the Dewang people of Nanfu no matter what.
one side.
With Li Luo's permission, Song Yayu held a banquet in honor of the officials and merchants of the Nanfu family. Although he had promised to keep everything simple, in the end, nearly a hundred people came to the Nanwang Mansion, and the palace was bustling and lively.
Dade Hall.
Song Yayu was in the main seat, high-spirited, talking and laughing freely, and giving advice to Li Luo from time to time. There were dozens of banquet tables in the hall, all of which were filled with highly respected people from Nanfu. There were many people who were good at literature and martial arts. They were full of talents.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, an old man suddenly came forward and toasted Li Luo and Song Yayu with a glass of wine from a distance. Song Yayu hurriedly returned the salute and called out in a somewhat respectful voice: "Master Wen, how have you been lately?"
good?"
"Well done. Your Majesty is thinking of you. Today, your Majesty is hosting a banquet for distinguished guests from Zhuocheng. I'm here uninvited. I hope that your Majesty will be kind to you." The old man was neither humble nor overbearing, rather elegant and light-hearted.
Song Yayu turned to Li Luo and said: "General, Mr. Wen, the leader of Nanfu's scholarly community, is well known to everyone in Nanfu. He is a model for scholars in Nanfu."
"I'm just a commoner who knows a few words. I can't deserve such praise from the prince." The old man replied calmly.
"But Mr. Wen Da, a literary fool who wrote hundreds of travel notes and is famous for his sharp writing and witty words?" Li Luo stood up, bowed and asked harmoniously.
"It's Lao Chan. It's rare that His Highness the Ninth Prince also knows that Lao Chan has a bad reputation."
"Mr. Wen Da is too modest. I'm afraid Mr. Wen Da's talent is not only known to people in Nanfu, but also in Da Gan."
Wen Yuren smiled faintly and said: "His Majesty Ninth Highness is exaggerating. He is just a decrepit scholar. He has been useless since ancient times. How can everyone on the street know this?"
Li Luo was startled, and Song Yayu laughed and said: "Wen Lao still has the same temperament and does not seek to be heard by the princes. Unfortunately, it backfires. The more Wen Lao doesn't want people to know, the more people know his name."
"Oh, so I'm quite flattered." Wen Yuren responded coldly, but there was no hint of surprise at all.
"Haha, thanks to the reputation of the general, today Song is able to win a seat full of distinguished guests. It's really a blessing. Mr. Wen is free to do whatever he wants, and he will return home having a great time."
Wen Yuren didn't even look at Song Yayu and said loudly: "I visited Zhuocheng many years ago and everything I saw and heard is recorded in hundreds of travel notes. I wonder if His Highness the Ninth Prince knows about it?"
Li Luo nodded slowly, and Wen Yan replied: "I have read the travel notes of hundreds of families written by Mr. Zhuo Cheng, and I have also heard a little bit about Mr. Zhuo Cheng and his party."
Wen Yuren responded calmly and said: "Back then, the old man wrote the travel notes of hundreds of families, which was deemed as a rebellious work by the Dagan court. The old man's head was wanted to be taken. Later, he managed to save his life because of several close friends, but he was also expelled.
Zhuocheng, you will not be allowed to enter Zhuocheng again for the rest of your life.
These years have passed, and I don’t care about what happened in the past, but there are a few things I would like to ask His Highness the Ninth Prince.”
Song Yayu glanced at Li Luo awkwardly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wen, the general is a guest from afar..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Yuren interrupted him and said: "There is no order of succession. Your Majesty the Ninth Prince is the Prince of Dagan. He has a reputation of being a virtuous man. Every move in the world looks at you. I am for the common people. It is rare to see His Majesty the Ninth Prince."
, I’m taking advantage of the prince’s grand banquet this time, but I want to ask the people something they want to know.”
A needle drop could be heard in the hall. Li Luo smiled softly. Even the Southern King Song Yayu didn't seem to notice the aggressive words of the foolish man. Asking for advice is the way to speak, and being careful is the truth. If Li Luo shows weakness, he will inevitably be in Nanfu.
Leaving the topic behind, the virtuous name is nothing more than a joke.
It's just that the old man in front of me was very good at speaking. According to rumors, he was arrogant and self-rewarding. He used to ridicule the government's immorality and secretly used ancient events to ridicule the palace for its dissoluteness and harboring filth. Emperor Wanlong wanted to kill him in anger.
Unexpectedly, many scholars jointly submitted a letter asking for the emperor's order. For a time, the city was full of storms, and scholars all over the world were excited. In desperation, Emperor Wanlong had no choice but to exempt this person from the death penalty, expelled him from Zhuocheng, and ordered that if he entered Zhuocheng again one day, he would be executed.
No forgiveness.
It is said that when Wen Yuren left the capital, he laughed three times at the city gate, quite arrogantly looking down on the world. It was recorded in the secret report of the Privy Council that Emperor Wanlong secretly ordered assassins in the palace to assassinate Wen Yuren, but unexpectedly Wen Yuren left.
There was no whereabouts after Beijing, and he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. After lying dormant for many years, he became famous in Nanfu. Li Luo didn't know that he was there, but he may have something to do with the Song family.
After all these years, Emperor Wanlong had long forgotten about this matter. The commonly published travel notes of hundreds of families did not include the royal chapter that was so popular at that time. However, the absence of it makes it even more interesting. For some reason, this royal chapter has been circulated.
In Guangzhou, although there is no secretary, many people can recite it from memory. The damage to the dignity of the Dagan court is as serious as a military defeat on the border.
Li Luo said slowly: "I wonder what Mr. Wen Da wants to ask?"
"The Travel Notes of the Hundreds of Travels compiled by Lao Xian and the biography of Da Gan are missing a chapter. I wonder if His Highness the Ninth Prince knows about it?"
"Oh, it's the Royal Chapter."
"Exactly, has His Highness Ninth Prince ever seen it?"
Song Yayu said displeasedly: "Mr. Wen, this is inappropriate. The general comes from the Dagan royal family. The royal chapter of the Hundreds of Travels written by Wen has long been strictly prohibited by the imperial court. How can the general knowingly commit a crime?"
"No, as the old saying goes, a virtuous person knows his shortcomings, a sage knows his shortcomings, his virtue is not full, and his humility is not full. Knowledge can be broken, and ignorance can cause fear. The Dagan court made false claims about old age and disobedience.
It is a cowardly act to declare the sins of an old man to the world, but he dare not list what he has written. He is just afraid of showing it in front of others. He does not know that he does not give examples, and he is just a quick mouthpiece. He does not know that justice is free for all the people in the world, and it is covered up in every possible way.
"My Majesty, His Highness the Ninth Prince is the leader of the Dagan royal family. If you feel that what I have written is a rebellious work, you should know it first and then expose it, so that the world will believe it." (To be continued.)
