Neighbors with powerful ministers

"What do you mean?!" Zhang Du took the opportunity to find fault.Knowing that the parrot belonged to Xie Jie, the person he was looking at was Fang Chaoci, as if he wanted to accuse Fang Chaoci of poor hospitality.

"It's my second master who is not sensible..." Xie Jie naturally couldn't let Fang Chaoci give him the lead, he stood up, wanting to take the initiative to give in to someone for the first time.

Zhang Du's expression is still not good, he was born in a family, in fact, he also has a faint disdain for the Wen family, just like an old nobleman who always sneers at the nouveau riche.He didn't dare to offend Xie Jie at the beginning because he had heard too many rumors about Xie Ya's being generous. Now, looking at it, this prince is nothing.There was even a faint sense of strange pleasure that even the legendary Xie Tun'er treated him with courtesy.

Some people are like this. If you are strong, they will be weak. If you are a little humble, the other party will kick your nose and face and step on you to death.

Xie Jie understood Zhang Du's brain circuit in seconds, and his temper, which had not been suppressed, rose again in an instant, and even raised a lot.He wanted to settle the matter first because it was Fang Chaoci's banquet, but if Zhang Du was so shameless, then don't blame him for being rude!Xie Jie eats everything, but he refuses to suffer, it's impossible at all!

"...But you shouldn't argue with a parrot. There are so many people over there, how do you know that the second master is referring to you?" Xie Jie raised his chin, "Isn't this just to get a seat, it's purely for scolding .”

Xie Jie's voice was very low when he said the last sentence, but everyone could understand his muttering, and he had no intention of covering it up at all.

Xie Shizi has always been so "dare to act and act", he can confront him positively, and never force him behind his back.Those who can't be hated have to find ways to get back on the scene, let alone such a small character who is easy to deal with.

"Okay, okay," Nan Shishu stood up to smooth things over, flicking his wide sleeves. He was obviously not very old, but he gave people a sense of mystery of respect and respect, "Don't say a few words, that parrot is just a flat Hairy bastard, no matter how human nature is, it can't be intentional, so why are you serious about it? It's just a matter of laughing."

Then?

Then all I could do was laugh it off.

Nan Ziwo (Nan Shishu's word) was so biased to the extreme, and I deliberately got stuck before Zhang Du could reply, so it would be strange not to hold back Zhang Du.But everyone still chose to pretend not to know, and laughed together in obedience.The reason is very simple, Xie Jie is a princess, not just an ordinary princess. His mother is fighting for the country, and her family is upright. It does not involve their own interests. They will only provoke Xie Jie unless they are crazy.The county magistrate might as well manage it now.

That's how this chapter ends.

After Zhang Du sat back to his original place, he almost turned into a toad in anger. His green skin suits him well.For a while, he wanted to scold Fang Chaoci, but for a while he felt that Xie Jie was looking for trouble, and finally came back... What am I, his wife?Why did he say forget it?

Zhang Du studied under the great Confucianism of another school. This great Confucian's status in the rivers and lakes is between that of Mr. Chen, and he has a sense of fate like Shengyu and Shengliang. For a lifetime, he secretly competed against each other for a lifetime, and this fighting spirit continued among the disciples under his sect.In terms of seniority, Zhang Du and Nan Zi are of the same generation.No matter how advanced Nanzi's knowledge is, in Zhang Du's view, he should be on an equal footing with him.Zhang Du was very jealous that Nanzi and I could respond to everything, but he was not taken seriously.

No matter how you think about it, it's Fang Chaoci's fault!If it weren't for him, I would have been the No. [-] scholar in high school back then, and after being a blockbuster, I would have resounded all over the country.If this plan works out, how can I encounter these cold receptions now?Maybe I am the one who lives next to Xie Jie, and I am the one who is friends with Xie Jie...

No, no, he doesn't care about talking to Xie Jie!

Zhang Du couldn't get enough of the sour grapes, thinking that he couldn't get used to these clans who listened to the melody all day long and were not half-motivated. They had only made a fortune for a few decades, but they were still downright country bumpkins at heart. What kind of great person did you become?

The more Zhang Du thought about it, the more biased he became, and he no longer wanted logic at all, and insisted on using the entire moral high ground to show that he wasn't jealous, but just matter-of-fact.

It can also be regarded as self-deception and deception.

But I have to say that Zhang Du's luck is still very good, he has thought so, and he can really meet a Confucian scholar who really thinks so.

The two of them met because of Nan Ziwo's question.

Nan Mingshi's questions are very casual, and he doesn't stick to the theme and format. His original intention is to make it easier for everyone to show what they have learned.If you want to show your face, you only need to show what you are best at.The student also appreciates this kind of affection, a certain one is full of energy and wants to use his best ability to come out on top.

And because Emperor Wen liked to paint when he was alive, many students worked hard to learn a good painting, and now the title is because of the late emperor, but many people have the same aspirations to start painting.

There was a Confucian scholar named Lin Mingsheng who wanted to paint at first, but when he saw that everyone was like this, he was a little embarrassed for a while.Everyone draws, so his paintings are not new, and they are definitely not the most brilliant. What should I do?

Someone nearby with malicious intentions secretly discussed with him, which was really intimidating. Zhang Du's painting skills are very good, and he has to be praised by Emperor Wen. Why don't he paint and you write poems.

Lin Sheng thought it was a solution, so he took the initiative to join in.

"The combination of poetry and painting needs to be novel." Zhang Du's mind is actually very flexible, and he is not really too mentally retarded. He explained Lin Sheng's little thought of wanting to be the best in his heart.

"Where is the novelty?" Lin Sheng asked shamelessly.

Zhang Du hooked his hands at him, asked him to come over by ear, and muttered for a long time.

"Okay, okay, okay." This was Lin Sheng's reaction after hearing this, his face was blushing with excitement, as if he was sure about the next thing.

Lin Sheng is a Confucian student who is concerned about the people and the country. Although he has some small thoughts of his own, he really hates the imperial court's inaction.

So from the very beginning, even if there were no episodes with Xie Jie in the middle, Zhang Du had already set his sights on Lin Sheng, and wanted to give Fang Chaoci a big gift.

Zhang Du did what he liked, and said to Lin Sheng, don't you think there is something wrong with this elegant gathering?Fang Chaoci spends extravagantly on hospitality, the clan son Xie Jie is arrogant and domineering, famous Confucians and dignitaries do not talk about state affairs, but only talk about teaching insects and ants, it is really, really sad.Zhang Du is very good at acting on the spot, and deliberately puts a patriotic hat on the dispute he just had with Xie Jie.

And Lin Sheng, a patriotic young man, really does this.

"That's right, that's right, that's wrong!" Lin Sheng's emotional intelligence is really not high, and his ears are still soft, but his heart of serving the country is enough to sleep on.That's why Zhang Du deceived him with a few words.

Patriotism is an ideal and justice in the hearts of those who truly love it, but it is just a means of profit in the hearts of villains.

Nowadays, everyone is basically immersed in writing poems and paintings, and no one has time to pay attention to the lawsuit between Lin Sheng and Zhang Du.On the contrary, Xie Jie, who didn't intend to end the competition at all, saw their little moves clearly.Xie Jie secretly tugged on La Fang Chaoci's sleeve, wanting him to take precautions.

Fang Chaoci also saw what happened to Zhang Du.He cast a comforting look at Xie Jie, and then whispered in his ear: "He's not worth my trouble."

Fang Chaoci spoke very slowly and lightly, as if every syllable had a special rhythm, passing through Xie Jie's heart.

Xiao Shizi looks like a big stubborn guy, but in reality he only plays with eating and drinking. He grows up so big, and has never been exposed to messy things, so he can't help but blush.

Fang Chaoci smiled in a low voice, but still couldn't hold it back, and squeezed Xie Jie's hand under the table where no one could see, it was soft and cool, just like his lips.

After playing with it for a while, Fang Chaoci took advantage of the victory to pursue and patiently explained to Xie Jie what happened between him and Zhang Du.

Zhang Du is jealous of Fang Chaoci, because Zhang Du really can't beat Fang Chaoci everywhere, even with all his efforts, just like Xie Jie who jumped up so hard that day, he could only kick up to the highest Fang Chaoci's knee, there are some things that can't be repaired by manpower.

People only pay attention to those who are stronger than themselves, so how can they care about this kind of people who can't turn over anyway?

Therefore, Zhang Du could have a hard time with Fang Chaoci, but Fang Chaoci could not openly lower his identity to fight Zhang Du, that would be sacrificing himself to make the other party better.

Let's put it this way, the two of them are very different from each other. Zhang Du wants to create the illusion that he can be as famous as Fang Chaoci or Nanzi and me to increase his social status, but Fang Chaoci and Nanzi and I can't be single from Zhang. It can even give people a feeling of degrading what they get on the Internet.Therefore, they must let others clearly understand the difference between them and Zhang Du.

Just like Fang Chaoci, he must let everyone know that although he and Zhang Du competed in the same imperial examination, they have developed and improved in different ways in the past few years, and they are no longer on the same level.

Otherwise, this alone will be like a piece of dog skin plaster, which cannot be torn off after sticking on.

After three sticks of incense, they knocked on the gong, and everyone stopped writing.

Everyone began to show their confident works one after another, and after everyone commented, they circulated them to those present.Even boasting people have to quote scriptures and classics, and idioms compete with each other.

Xie Jie wisely skipped this link. He could neither write good poems nor think of good words of praise. More importantly, he got a headache when he saw those sour sentences.

Fortunately, the people present did not expect Xie Shizi, who is on the fifteenth day of the new year, to participate in this kind of thing. Even in the public consciousness, 15 years old is no longer a child, but Xie Jie is an exception.I can't tell what the difference is, anyway, I can clearly feel that Xie Shizi is still like a child, different from them.

Zhang Du's collaboration with Lin Sheng was shown last, which fits Zhang Du's personality. He always wants to be the finale and make a splash.

However, in fact, the word "finale" does not mean the last appearance, but the penultimate one.The last appearance is called seeing off guests.

Anyway, that's what it means.

Zhang Du's paintings are very normal landscape paintings. You can vaguely see Phoenix Mountain and the flock of pigeons flying around in circles on Phoenix Mountain, which is Shenzong's favorite pet.The content of the screen is quite satisfactory, not novel, but it is enough to see Zhang Du's painting skills.There are always a few top artists who will create works that surpass their character. Even if Xie Jie doesn't like Zhang Du, he can't deny Zhang Du's talent in painting.

Then, everyone finally saw the line of poem next to the painting:

"Pigeons soar around the imperial capital, and it takes a lot of time to gather and release at dusk. How about raising a wild goose that flies south, and the desert can pass on Emperor Wen's writings*."

It is a bit far-fetched to say that this is a poem. It should be called doggerel. The literal meaning is very simple, even Xie Jie can understand it.This is scolding his brother-in-law for not doing his job properly and raising pigeons for fun, but he doesn't think about the national hatred and family hatred of Emperor Wendi who died in battle.

It can be regarded as a question, there are Emperor Wen, pets, and the current scenery of Jiangzuo.

but……

In connection with the content of the poem, it is ironic no matter how you look at it.Satirizing Jinzheng and Fang Chaoci made everyone present feel a little pain on their faces.Now that the country is broken, they are still here, "Business women don't know the hatred of subjugation, and they still sing flowers in the backyard across the river", which seems really inappropriate.

Zhan Huanran was the first to stand up and express his dissatisfaction: "I just don't know what to say!"

"I haven't said that you are trying to gain fame!" Lin Sheng felt that everyone was hypocritical, including Fang Chaoci, who was praised by everyone.He has the time to spend on gatherings, so he might as well spend more time thinking about how to save the country and the world.

In fact, this can be regarded as a kind of moral kidnapping.It can't be that something happens to the country, and everyone can only worry about worrying, and can't do anything else, right?Moreover, it's not that those who are sad can definitely do something, and it's not that those who are still smiling can't do anything.In the face of difficulties and obstacles, you can still smile to drive the atmosphere and cheer everyone up. Isn't this a kind of contribution?Since ancient times, there have been singing and dancing soldiers.

"I'm fishing for fame?" Zhan Huanran completely exploded, "I'm fishing for fame? What were you doing when I was almost scolded to death by those old men in the court? When I was kicked out by my father because I agreed with Fang Chaoci's letter , where are you?"

Following Zhan Huanran's words, the scene exploded instantly.

"Sign up?"

"What to write?"

"But recently it was suggested to change the capital?"

Xie Jie almost instantly thought of the complaint he had with Fang Chaoci that day. No wonder he was being sentimental. It is impossible for anyone not to think of himself at such a time. He looked sideways at Fang Chaoci and said seriously: "Don't Lied to me, what did you do?"

Thinking about it carefully, most of the people who come to Yaji today are young people, the highest seniority is Nan Ziwo, or they are real celebrities who are indifferent to fame and fortune and have little involvement in government affairs.As for the officials of the faction in power, almost all of them just gave gifts, or sent their children to come, mostly because of Xie Jie's face.This is actually a signal, a signal that the civil servant group is beating Fang Chaoci.

"I didn't do anything." Fang Chaoci smiled, still calmly, as if nothing mattered to him, "Really. I just did what I thought I should do."

There were still people whispering and chirping in Yaji, quickly sharing the gossip they knew.

"I heard that in the end it was still decided to be Jiang Zuo."

"Where are you going? Yongji?"

"Can we go back?"

Can I go back?Xie Jie always felt that this was a very strange statement, and the scene of going to Tianning Wanshou a few days ago vaguely appeared in his mind, as if there was some answer to the mystery that was already in his eyes, and he only had to close the door.

Then, Xie Jie was interrupted.

"Jiangzuo will only be there, and will never become the imperial capital." Zhan Huan took a mocking look at the self-righteous poem, which directly called Jiangzuo the imperial capital, "I don't know what this brother Lin is doing. I thought about it, but at least in my heart, the capital of Zhanhuan will always be Yongji!"

"Okay!" No one knew who started the call, and the whole scene became lively because of Zhan Huanran's words.

Xie Jie is still slowly chewing on what Zhan Huanran said before, Jiang Zuo is just walking.

"Walking in" comes from "Historical Records", which means the place where the emperor is, and can also be understood as the place where the official patrols go.

It doesn't matter if you say it's self-deception, or you say it's ambitious, anyway, when Fang Chaoci was proposed in such a sneaky change of concept in the court, no minister dared to object again.It is rare for them to have the lofty character of one or two scholars, and they feel that what Fang Chaoci said is right. They cannot admit that Jiangzuo is the capital if they are killed. Their capital is in Yongji. Whether they can take it back is one thing, but do you want to Take, this attitude is a must!

At least it can send a signal to the people all over the world, especially those living in the occupied areas:

My great country will never compromise!

However, although they agree with Fang Chaoci in their hearts, these real bigwigs are still very angry at Fang Chaoci's practice of being silent before and then making a big deal without even getting a breath. The younger generation respected it.Fang Chaoci must be taught a lesson, so that he understands what it means to be tall and thick!

"Don't worry." Fang Chaoci said to Xie Jie again.

How could Xie Jie not be worried.Fang Chaoci's reason for coming out suddenly, no one knows better than him, how can this person, this person be so passionate about sleeping?Xie Jie became even more frightened.

"I'm not humble, and I'm not making progress by retreating. It's really okay." Ruofang Chaoci thought, he could make Xie Jie accept this love with guilt all the time, but he didn't want to, so he broke the matter apart Everything that was broken and crushed was whispered to Xie Jie, "Love is deep, responsibility is deep, do you understand?"

It was precisely because the bosses valued Fang Chaoci, a junior who had just emerged, that they beat him, wanting him to understand the rules of the game.If they were not optimistic about Fang Chaoci, they would directly shoot and crush the self-assertive little guy to death.How could Fang Chaoci be given the chance to jump up to today.

"If you know it's a poem like this, then I have a poem here, why don't you come and taste it together." Zhan Huanran sarcastically obviously still couldn't let go of his hatred, and began to use his strength to crush it.

"When will the singing and dancing in the South Lake stop? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and Jiangzhou is called Yongzhou*."

The two poems satirize the current situation, and the comparison between the saliva poems and the real poems can still be compared.After all, Lin Sheng’s time for composing poems is too short, so he can’t think carefully about the words and sentences. His poems are unique in that he said what everyone dared to say but wanted to say. When poems with more beautiful words appeared, his poems were nothing.

"Wonderful."

"Really, really..."

"I don't know who wrote this poem?"

The whole scene exploded because of the poems in Zhan Huanran's mouth. He is a scholar after all, and he has a natural liking for good poems and sentences.

Zhan Huan glanced in the direction of Fang Chaoci without a trace, Fang Chaoci shook his head, he could only sigh in his heart and said: "This is a wall poem written on the temple wall, I also I don’t know who the author is. Brother Fang told me after seeing it, and after Brother Fang wrote the book in the court, I followed the trend and played it.”

Because of this, Zhan Huanran got mad at his father.Fang Chaoci was the first to speak, and he said it very euphemistically. Although the boss was angry with Fang Chaoci, he was also angry that this capable junior was not thorough enough in doing things. He was a little angry and wanted to teach him well.But Zhan Huoran's sarcasm is naked, sharp and sad, and he said it after Fang Chaoci. No matter how you look at it, he is just a younger brother, so he can't make his father angry.

But in fact, Zhan Huanran didn't mind these at all, the route he wanted to take was quite different from the one his father wanted him to take.

"I shouldn't just talk about things about the court, but I can't stand being wronged like this today. Please forgive my uprightness."

The good and the bad, let Zhan Huanran finish talking by himself.

That's not to mention, after Zhan Huanran finished speaking, he looked straight at the direction of the real instigator Zhang Du: "I don't know how Zhang Lang can give advice? People who really do things may not have the skill to do everything they do. Everything is known in the world. On the contrary, there are some people who shout slogans louder than anyone else, but they just talk and don't do anything, it's useless!"

Lin Sheng was only involved, but he was ashamed by Zhan Huanran. He was just a Confucian scholar with high knowledge, but he had not entered the court yet. He didn't know that these things were inevitable.But when he thinks that he has wronged a good person and is still complacent, he feels like a frog in a well, and he doesn't know what to do.

Zhang Du...is not qualified enough to go to the court, and he doesn't know much about the affairs in the court. Although he apologized with Lin Sheng, no one can know what he thinks in his heart.

A farce finally ended.

Generally speaking, this day's Gathering was very successful. If you want delicious food, you have delicious food, if you want poetry competition, you have poetry competition, and there is a very profound patriotic education at the end.

Everyone was honored and felt that this was bound to be another elegant gathering in the West Garden.

On the contrary, Xie Jie remained silent during the last period of the banquet, and stopped holding Fei Lian, and stopped feeding the second master, but just sat there half absorbed, as if he had finally figured out something.

Fang Chaoci could feel every emotion towards Xie Jie, so as soon as the banquet was over, he dismissed Zhang Huanran early.Zhan suddenly wished he could jump up and fight Fang Chaoci, is there any friend who does this?

"I left you a yard, can't you live there?" Fang Chaoci still remembered Zhan Huoran's words, and he was kicked out by his father.

"Hey, I knew you were loyal enough. Of course I live here. Your place is much closer to the palace than my house." Zhan Huan suddenly turned his anger into joy, and did not say goodbye to Fang Chao politely, and went straight to the yard behind the house. , didn't care about what Fang Chaoci was going to do.

As the sun set and the lights came on, only Xie Jie and Fang Chaoci were left in the whole house.

It's still the same dark green gown, and the same water pavilion that can be symmetrical with the Xie Mansion.

Xie Jie asked Fang Chaoci: "Tell me honestly, what happened to Yongji."

"The barbarians have entered Beijing." Fang Chaoci pondered for a long time, but he didn't know how to finish the extremely informative matter so that Xie Jie could accept it.He could only be as concise as possible to let Xie Jie understand the general framework.

Just after Xie Jie was knocked unconscious by the sky stone, Princess Dachang became anxious and insisted on dragging Shenzong back to Jiangzuo to visit in person.

It is well known that Shenzong is very afraid of his eldest daughter, so even though the eldest princess' request is absurd, Shenzong followed the eldest princess to Jiangzuo in the end.I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, as soon as Sheng Jia left the capital with most of his courtiers, the barbarians raided and broke through Yongji.

Shenzong and Princess Dachang were about to arrive at Yingtian Mansion (Nanjing) at that time, and when they heard the bad news, they could only put up their defenses hastily and tried their best to deal with the barbarians who were chasing to Yingtian.

Because of the historical lessons of Emperor Wen's blood spilled on the battlefield, under the pressure of public opinion from his officials, Shenzong did not stay in Yingtian, but crossed the river in embarrassment, passing through Yangzhou and Zhenjiang Mansions, all the way to Jiangzuo.

"Where's my mother?" Xie Jie may only care about his only relative right now.

"His Highness refused to leave Yingtian, and she took command again. It is also because His Highness turned the tide and prevented the barbarians from attacking south again and again, so that Shengjia stabilized in Jiangzuo." Fang Chaoci said in detail. up.At this time, there is no way not to say anything, but to make Xie Jie anxious in vain, it is better to make it clear.

The eldest princess actually came back once in the middle of the journey, but Xie Jie hadn't woken up at that time, and the front line was tense, so she had to bid farewell to her sleeping son and returned to Yingtian again.

To put it simply, Xie Jie had to face the bad news that "the capital is gone, the emperor has run away, and his mother is on the battlefield again" when he opened his eyes.

If you keep your heart in the face of confusion, the country will perish, the ancients will never deceive me.

The author has something to say: the paper on the window is finally pierced.

Believe me, it's not cruel!It's not cruel!It's not cruel!Xiao Shizi's brain circuit is very strange.

PS: Desert Neng Chuanwen Emperor Book*: The original text of this poem is actually Desert Neng Chuan Erdi Shu, an anonymous poem recorded in "Song Barnyard Banknotes" at the turn of the Song Dynasty.Stupid authors don't know how to write poems, so they borrowed the words of the ancients, don't blame them, don't blame them.

Just use Jiangzhou as Yongzhou*: The original text of this poem only refers to Hangzhou as Bianzhou. It is an ancient poem in elementary and middle school textbooks. Everyone should be familiar with it, right?The irony is also the partial security of the Southern Song Dynasty.
