Xing'an Bo Mansion now has two Qingke husbands living in it, and there was another Miss Shen in the past two days. Naturally, there are fewer and fewer idle servants. And everyone knows the identity of Miss Shen, thinking about the mansion. There will be such a new mistress in the house soon. Naturally, countless people want to pay attention to her, so Xu Jing and Tang Yin, who live in a small courtyard, have heard the news.
"I don't know when I will be able to drink a glass of Mr. Xu's wedding wine!"
Xu Jing couldn't change his old habits, and he is still the same as Master Xu, and Tang Yin followed him. At this moment, while Tang Yin was smiling, he suddenly got a whim and said: "Master Xu rarely asks us to write anything these days. The play... If you ask me, the vulgar stories about talented men and beautiful women in the market are far less exciting than this one. If it could be written, it would definitely be a popular play!"
Xu Jing was startled, shook his head quickly and said: "Bohu, your idea is too crazy! Which famous family doesn't keep its own affairs secret, who would like their own affairs to be talked about among the people? Not to mention the famous families, even the wealthy families in the countryside who are slightly famous are eager to hide themselves in the shadows. After all, folk gossip is the most unstoppable. A little thing as big as a sesame seed can spread to the sky, so how can it be done by ordinary people? Do you think you can write a play and sing it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a laugh came from outside: "It's not impossible to write a play, but if Brother Bohu is really interested, I would rather see Tang Bohu light up Qiuxiang!"
Following the sound, Xu Xun opened the door curtain and entered the house. Neither of them brought many servants with them. They often went out to buy books or write some writing. There were often only servants of the Xu family left working in the yard, so Xu Xun It was very convenient for Xu Xun to just barge in. Xu Jing and Tang Yin were initially wary of this unannounced intrusion, but over time they got used to it. Even if Xu Xun overheard their discussions behind their backs twice, they just laughed in their faces. He joked back, this kind of carefree and easy-going attitude was naturally very suitable for the two of them.
Xu Jing instinctively skipped the first sentence of Xu Xun, thinking to himself that it was impossible for Xu Xun to let himself and his future wife be the protagonists on the stage, so he paid attention to the second half of the sentence: "Why does Tang Bohu order Qiuxiang? "
Tang Yin was also extremely puzzled by what Xu Xun said. However, Xu Xun had just received a piece of good news. Naturally, he would not really describe to Tang Yin the images of Tang Bohu in later film and television dramas. After a haha, he changed the subject. , he said with a smile: "Today I have great good news for you two. Minister Jiao of the Ministry of Punishment has re-examined the case files of the year. There is no evidence of cheating. The late emperor was deceived by a traitor again, so he has already reported to the emperor." I will return your fame to you two."
As soon as these words came out, both Tang Yin and Xu Jing were dumbfounded. They were young and ambitious people who went to Beijing to take the exam, and they both lost their way in the flattery of countless people seeking literature and calligraphy. They were young and frivolous, and they didn't know how to establish themselves. They have made many enemies, and as a result, scholars are jealous of each other, and Fu Han and others are used as the best weapon to attack Cheng Minzheng. Now, six years have passed, and the only trace of luck is about to become a reality, but what they show is not that they are overjoyed. Mad, but worried about gains and losses.
"Master Xu, can this really...really happen?"
Seeing that Xu Jing asked cautiously, Xu Xun glanced at Tang Yin, and saw that his face was indeed full of tangles. He smiled lightly and said: "Of course, the matter has to go through the cabinet, and there may still be some variables, but at this point, we are far away from what you dreamed of.
Innocence is not far away. If these three elders are determined to fight with the emperor, then there will always be other elders who can uphold justice in the future. If not... Could it be that the play I asked you to write will only
Isn’t it just the talented and beautiful women who are popular in the market?”….
If the public opinion in court cannot be passed, then create public opinion yourself!
Xu Jing and Tang Yin were both smart people, and they had worked with Xu Xun for a long time, and they soon became enlightened. This method of using the people to oppress the officialdom to build momentum was originally a taboo, and it was difficult to control them.
He had participated in the effort to join the Imperial Guard, but if the emperor in the palace stood on this side, the effect would be completely different. The two looked at each other, and finally lifted up their robes and knelt down at the same time.
"Master Xu's kindness in rebuilding will be unforgettable to me!"
"Get up, I won't say any high-sounding words. Helping you is one. I look down on those old people who want to be bitches and erect memorial arches. I want to teach them some lessons. That's the second! Let's talk about it.
Go, I also have selfish motives." Xu Xun pulled the people up one by one with one hand, and saw that the two people did not show the slightest reaction to his explicit accusation. He knew that the two of them had been suppressed for too long, and for the boss in the court
Not to mention having a good impression, I'm afraid it would be nice if they didn't curse each other when they met, so they asked with a smile, "What are your plans if you return the honor?"
"Plan..." Xu Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally said bitterly, "My father was able to write poems at the age of ten, and took third place in the provincial examination at the age of twenty-six. However, because he failed in the examination, he studied so hard that he became seriously ill and died in depression.
.My grandfather passed away soon after the white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift. At that time, the epitaph was still written by Mr. Li Ge. And I lost my honor due to the imperial examination scandal, but none of my grandfather’s friends in the court stood up and said a word.
To be fair, if it weren’t for Mr. Xu, I would not be able to get this justice in my entire life. I am the only direct descendant of the Xu family in Wucheng. If I can’t revive the family reputation, I will be sorry for my mother and the good wife in my family.
So in three years, I will definitely take the National Examination! Even if the examiners cannot tolerate me, I will definitely take the exam!"
Xu Xun was moved by Xu Jing's categorical words. After all, scholars these days are responsible for the glory and hope of their families. Xu Jing's grandfather Xu Yuanxian was a Jinshi, but his father Xu Yi only promoted people. If Xu Jing can't win again,
Jinshi, the once famous Xu family in Jiangyin will become a thing of the past. Therefore, he nodded in understanding and turned to look at Tang Yin.
"If I can really regain the title of Juren... I don't plan to take the exam."
Tang Yin saw that Xu Jing had a strange look on his face, while Xu Xun had no apparent expression, so he sighed and said, "The names of the four great talents in Suzhou sound prestigious, but in the examination room they mean nothing.
It wasn't until this year that a person with Chang Guo's talent got a result, and it was also because Mr. Xu extended a helping hand. As for me, my reputation has been ruined. In the past six years, it's not like Heng's father who closed his door to Wanjuanlou and only focused on reading.
In the books of sages, I have written a lot of crooked poems, a lot of pictures of beauties, and a lot of various little plays. The only thing I have never touched is the eight-legged stereotype. I have self-knowledge, and I will be satisfied if I can regain the title of Tang Jieyuan in this life.
, I don’t expect to be called Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty again!"
Facing these two people with very different choices, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel some real appreciation. Xu Jing said that he would take the exam three years later, and he made it clear that the examiner would not be able to accommodate him. Naturally, it was because he was not optimistic about Xu Xun's ability to take the exam in a short period of time.
In just three years, it affected the court situation and then influenced the imperial examination; Tang Yin said that he would never take the exam again in his life, but he gave up the road of becoming an official when he had clearly left an impression on the young emperor. Thinking of this, he
Then he laughed.
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions, and I won't force it. When the official decree comes, Father Heng will go home first, maybe in time for the Chinese New Year. After all, you still have a mother and wife at home. You can't leave them alone all the time, and you have to go back to make them happy.
I'm happy, and studying hard in Wanjuan Tower is more effective than living in a flashy place like the capital. As for Bohu..."
"If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, I will have the audacity to bother you at home for a while. I only have a daughter in Suzhou, and I plan to bring her to the capital. Although I am no longer the famous Tang Liuru in Beijing, I am more confident in poetry, calligraphy and painting than I was then.
It’s more beneficial. Even if you open a calligraphy and painting shop, you can live a good life and write a few good plays for adults in your spare time, but it will be much more enjoyable than living at the hands of those old adults!”….
"Okay, that's what I asked for!"
Xu Xun agreed wholeheartedly, but seeing Xu Jing standing there silently, obviously envious of Tang Yin's free and easy attitude, but unable to shirk his responsibilities, he nodded and said with a smile: "Bohu has Bohu's choice, and Heng's father has his own path."
, hold your head high and move forward, there is no need to worry about the past!"
After this good news, Xu Xun picked up the past and went to Tang Yin's study to discuss a play with him. However, when he said what he meant, Tang Yin was confused. How could he have thought that he could not
It was a joke at the beginning, but Xu Xun actually took it seriously! However, when Xu Xun began to carefully weave the outline and put forward various requirements, he realized that Xu Xun was not joking, and he was surprised but became very interested.
Based on the characters of the current dynasty, no one has ever tried a drama like Wang Shifu to the Four Great Masters of Yuan Opera!
Xu Xun also listened to Huitong's reminder and was just worried about the old guys he was not dealing with. He sent people to Jinling to inquire about old things. There is no doubt about Shen Yue's authenticity, but the problem is that even if Fu Rong and Chen Lu tried to cover up his past designs,
, but still can’t stop people from thinking about it. Rather than wait until then to cause trouble, it is better to start a public opinion offensive now.
At this moment, he made up a story with ups and downs for Tang Yin in a few words. Seeing that Tang Yin was thinking hard and racking his brains, he made an appointment with Xu Jing to go to Xianyuan in a few days to see how the theater should be improved, and then they said goodbye to the two of them.
As soon as he came out of the courtyard gate, he bumped into Jin Liu.
"Master, something happened!" Jin Liu walked up quickly, glanced left and right and whispered, "Yang Ziqi, the head of the Examination Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, wrote that there was water in the golden well in Tailing, accusing the eunuch Li Xing of bullying the king.
The crime is unforgivable, and the eunuch and eunuch Liu Eunuch who recommended Li Xing was swept in. Eunuch Zhang from the palace is waiting outside, and he is very impatient!"
This Yang Ziqi didn't care about impeaching Li Xing, but he actually brought Liu Jin in all at once. Such a wide-ranging attack, wouldn't it be like lighting a firecracker but blowing up on himself?
While Xu Xun was thinking, he quickly followed Jin Liu out. As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw Zhang Yong suddenly jumped up from his seat, rushed to him in three steps and two steps, and said a few words about Yang Ziqi's impeachment.
, and then changed the topic and said: "Brother Xu, it's clear that Wang Yue's fellow was not honest when he arrived at Tailing, and he actually caught such a terrible pigtail! The emperor didn't believe it at first, but Wang Yue sent the paper back again,
The superior said so emphatically that he even swore that if this had not happened, he would die to apologize... Old Liu was scolded by the emperor and is now kneeling in front of the main hall of Chengqian Palace!"
Xu Xun frowned when he learned that Wang Yue had actually waded into the muddy water. He sat there and thought about it for a while. Until Zhang Yong became a little impatient with the waiting, he looked at Zhang Yong and said, "What if I
I remember correctly, regarding the selection of the site for the Tailing Mausoleum, Dai Yi was the leader of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites went to see it. In addition, the Ministry of Works, which supervised the work, and Xin Ning Bo, who supervised the construction, were involved in countless matters.
people?"
Zhang Yong's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Xu, what do you mean..."
"Since someone wants to muddy the water, they simply add a bucket of mud. Even if the golden well produces water, it is because the location of Tailing was not chosen well. From the Qintian Supervisor to the Li Supervisor to the Ministry of Rites and Works,
Countless people were in trouble, so they all were dragged into the water to see who was in the biggest trouble! Dai Yi and Li Rong were on good terms with each other. He was also present when the late emperor left the edict, especially the two from the Ministry of Rites.
Needless to say."
Although he promised Shenying to protect Yang Ziqi, since it was a firecracker, he had to think carefully if he expected people to appreciate it. Instead of doing this, he might as well burn the fire a little brighter first!
ps: There are 600 extra words as a bonus, please give me ten monthly passes! I also sigh with emotion, after Xu passed this level, Xu Xiake’s travel notes may not be available...
