Neighbors with powerful ministers

Soon, Gu Guan felt that he had been cheated.

Because Xie Jie didn't enter the house to study with Fang Chaoci at all, but went out with each other.Definitely going out to play!Who is studying outside?

In this regard, Xie Jie felt that it was necessary for him to prove to Fang Chaoci that it was true that their family studied outside.

This is a brand-new teaching mode that Xie Jie recently launched with Mr. Fang—going out to entertain and educate.

I dare not say that there is no one before or after, but it is definitely the most suitable learning method for Xie Jie.It not only satisfies Xie Shizi's lively personality, but also achieves the goal of studying hard and making progress every day.

Their destination is not to serve the teaching content, but the teaching content serves the destination.It all depends on Xie Jie's mood that day, Fang Chaoci will take him wherever he wants to go, because no matter where he goes, Fang Chaoci can draw a lot of useful knowledge from many sources and actively associate.

It is more useful than Tianshi, who claims to be equipped with professional tour guide software.

By the way, Xie Jie finally understood what a "tour guide" is.When Tianshi suddenly mentioned this word, Xie Jie couldn't combine the context, so he was naturally at a loss.For a long time, I really thought that it was an encyclopedia book covering everything in the world, which could introduce the past and present of a person or a period of history.

It was only later that I discovered that the tour guide was Daqi's idler.It's just that the tour guide is not a handyman, nor is he responsible for pimping.The guide words provided by Tianshi are a bit like an upgraded version of the earth scriptures that are sold in large quantities at Baita Bridge and Longshan Ferry.

Xie Jie actually didn't know such a magical thing as the "Earth Scripture" before.

I still want to thank Fang Chaoci for his open-ended small class, allowing Xie Jie to enter the people's livelihood, and know how ordinary people live without servants and too much spare money.

It is said that "poverty limits imagination", and sometimes "wealth to a certain extreme will also limit imagination."

For example, when Xie Jie was a child, he always had all kinds of exclusive means of transportation when he went out, and his family crest was printed on it. He never knew that there was such a large cart that could pull dozens of people together.When he saw it for the first time, he naively asked his mother: "Are those people sitting together a family? It looks so lively."

Such a Xie Jie would be laughed at as stupid, and even made the eldest princess worry about raising her son to "why not eat minced meat" Jin Hui Emperor, but this is the limitation of Xie Jie's life.He doesn't have the awareness that everyone needs to pool money together to hire a car. If one day he really wanders out and doesn't have enough money on him, the possibility of him going all the way to a certain place is definitely more than he thought. There is a high possibility that you can share the car with someone else.

The "Dijing" is the same for Xie Jie.

What exactly is the Earth Scripture?It can be regarded as a thumbnail of Jiangzuo City, with all the popular attractions in Jiangzuo, the location of the imperial city and government offices clearly marked on it, as well as the more famous shops and restaurants, pavilions where you can rest for free, etc.There will also be a simple location introduction at the back, with history and stories, which is very interesting.

Therefore, Xie Jie said that the guide words are an upgraded version of the Earth Scripture.

Whereas Xie Jie used to go, no matter where he went, there were big cars and small sedan chairs, and servants like clouds.If you don't know something, just open your mouth and ask; where you want to go, just tell him; even if you don't have a plan in mind, someone will think it out for him.He simply doesn't have the environment to touch things like earth scriptures.

Xie Jie was able to know later, thanks to another student who wrote an anonymous satirical poem on the wall of a certain temple:

——Land selling by the side of Baita Bridge, the long pavilion and short post are very distinct.How can we only talk about Jiangzuo Road, without comparing how far it is in Central Plains? *

The meaning of this poem is very naked, but one sentence, the imperial court prefers Jiangzuo, when can we remember that Jiangzuo is just walking, and the real capital Yongji is still waiting for us to fight back? !

When this happened, Princess Dachang and Shenzong had not returned from Mount Tai.

Xie Jie, as the clan of the prison country, was forced to pay attention to this poem.The difference between this poem and Lin Sheng's was that Shenzong could give Lin Sheng an official and buy him to shut up, but no one knew who the author of this poem on the wall was, and the court couldn't even find anyone.However, such comments that satirize the current political situation must be taken seriously, especially in the current situation where the situation is very sensitive, and it is easy to ferment into more serious matters.

The courtiers also felt that this kind of public opinion was very difficult, and gave several solutions, not to respect the opinions of the clan, but because they didn't know which way to deal with it better, and they were afraid of taking responsibility.

Xie Jie took the poem, frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "What is the Earth Scripture?"

Courtier: "..." The courtier who thought he could express some insight was very desperate.

Of course, the courtiers worked together to find a way to resolve this matter later. At least the court expressed an attitude that they would never be partial to Jiangzuo. I hope everyone can give the court some more time.

After that time, Fang Chaoci personally took Xie Jie to Longshan Ferry to see what is called Dijing and how hawkers rely on it to do business.Moreover, during that on-the-spot experience, Fang Chaoci also took the opportunity to tell Xie Jie a lot about the people's livelihood and the way of being an official with his parents and officials.

"Why are you telling me this?" Xie Jie was extremely surprised. He would never be a parent officer anywhere in his life, so he didn't even think about it.

Fang Chaoci never expected that Xie Jie would follow the routine of starting from the grassroots, so he said: "It is convenient for you to manage these parents and their superiors. Aren't you in prison now? Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never end in a hundred battles."

Xie Jie nodded thoughtfully, always felt that Fang Chaoci's words were somewhat reasonable, but also very unreasonable, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.

However, this teaching method of occasional trips was retained, because the teaching effect of that day was really great. Xie Jie was happy all day and remembered a lot of things that he didn't want to remember at all.

Fang Chaoci immediately listed various government offices in his heart as the targets of Xie Jie's future visits, and Da Qi's mention of criminal officials was even more important!

The two of them went out together that day for this kind of teaching.

But they didn't go to any government offices or places of interest, but drove to the foot of the North Peak, which is far away from the South Peak.

There is a famous temple on Beifeng Mountain, named Jingde Lingyin, which is one of the five mountains of Zen Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River.Unlike Tianning Wanshou in Nanfeng Peak, where temple fairs are held every now and then, Jingde Lingyin is more detached from the world.Numerous literati and poets have left precious calligraphy treasures in Jingde Lingyin. Nearby are Xie Jie's father Xie He and Su Dacai who used to be an official in Jiangzuo. There are even more far away. Bai Juyi, Song Zhiwen , Lu Yu and Jia Dao all wrote poems for this ancient temple.

But the destination of Xie Jie and his party today is not Jingde Lingyin on the North Peak, but Moxun Academy at the foot of the mountain.

That is, the famous private academy opened by Chen Lao, the famous teacher that Xie Jie's father worshiped.Nowadays, more people like to directly call this academy Jiangzuo Academy, because it is indeed enough to be the most proud landmark building in Jiangzuo.

But the academy itself still has its original name - Mo Xun.

It means not to look for it, and there is no special deep meaning.

From this name, it is enough to see that Old Chen's personality is relatively out of bounds, which does not match his status as a master, and he can faintly feel free and easy.

It just so happens that Mr. Chen has never been an official in his life, which is very fascinating.

Mr. Chen was born in the previous dynasty and spent his later years in Daqi'an, but he never became an official.The reasons for this are very complicated. Mr. Chen doesn't say anything, and he doesn't like to let others ask.But there are always people who want to speculate, what kind of mind is on the previous court, one servant does not serve two masters, and there are some hermits who are noble and indifferent to fame and wealth.

But whether it's a good speculation or a bad one, as long as you dare to say it in front of Mr. Chen, you will definitely be slapped back by him unceremoniously.

If he insisted not to be an official of this dynasty because he was born in the previous dynasty, he would respond with "Are you out of your mind? I also rejected the official position in the previous dynasty".

As for saying that he disdains the filthy officialdom, the old man will talk to the other party about how many students he has taught to devote themselves to such officialdom.Xie He is the most famous representative. Not only is he an official, but he is also an official of the princess who has a nepotism.But does anyone deny Xie He's ability because of this?No!Those who are truly capable will always shine.

Mr. Chen has never concealed his utilitarianism, because he doesn't think there is anything utilitarian. In his whole life, he always wants to like something. As long as the means of obtaining it are not at the expense of others, what is there to blame?

Even, for Chen Lao, what is really scary is the person who shows no desires and desires.Mr. Chen does not deny that there are great saints who truly have no desires and no desires in this world, but he also has to say that most of the existing ones in the world are false saints. speak out.

Especially some people who have a little bit of fame, they always want to change to a forceful route, regardless of whether it suits him or not, and whether he wants to go sincerely.

There is no doubt that the last person like Mr. Chen refers to his academic opponent, Mr. Li, who is the head of the Baozhuo Academy.He is obviously a money fanatic, but he still insists on showing that fame and fortune are like dung; his beautiful wife and concubine, Yingyan Sanqian, even accuses others of not obeying women's morals; the most important thing is that he deliberately imitates Chen Lao and does not enter the officialdom , just looking for knowledge, but he said it as if no one knew that he was an official fan.Such self-contradiction made Mr. Chen look down on it.

Of course, Mr. Li also looked down on Mr. Chen, thinking that Mr. Chen was self-righteous, stubborn, and had a lot of problems.

The two old men fought each other for a lifetime, but in the end, neither of them could do anything to the other.It can be regarded as an interesting talk in the literary world that everyone knows, but everyone is pretending not to know.

Xie Jie has been to Moxun Academy many times, because Mr. Chen's family eats and lives here.Every time Xie Jie came to see his master, he would be influenced by the strong learning atmosphere of Moxun Academy, and occasionally he was forced to follow the old man to "audit" one or two people. Unfortunately, his will to not want to study is very firm in his heart, and he always It has not been shaken for more than half a point.

"What are we doing at the academy?" Xie Jie asked Fang Chaoci puzzled in the car.

Fang Chaoci didn't ask Xie Jie where he wanted to go today, but directly helped him make a decision.

Fang Chaoci got out of the carriage first, then naturally ignored the pedals prepared by the fourth son for Xie Jie, reached out to Xie Jie, and helped Xie Jie down, almost half-embracing him: "Come and help His Highness complete a task."

"My mother?" Xie Jie thought to himself, it seems that Fang Chaoci's real allegiance is his mother.

"Yes, His Royal Highness Di Ji ordered me to do something after returning home. The matter is not difficult, but probably only you can do it. I hope you can help me." Fang Chaoci's voice seemed to be filled with electric current. There was a burst of ambiguous numbness.

Xie Jie's ears turned red, but he didn't have time to care about it, because his feet were already soft: "I really can't help it, so I just try to help you a bit."

"Well, the son is the most powerful."

Xie Jie looked at Fang Chaoci's side face like a crown jade, and began to have four bold and red characters scrolling in his heart: beautiful!color!error!country!

Chen Shanchang didn't have class today, and he was walking around with his hands behind his back in high spirits, with a string of tails behind him, which was a match for Xie Jie's outings.This is not because Mr. Chen also likes to live this kind of life without any privacy like Xie Jie, but because Mr. Chen accidentally fell when he went out alone before. The time he appeared, no matter how angry he got, his family members would never agree that he would go around alone again.Mr. Chen had no choice but to agree, and then pretended that there was nothing behind him.

Today, the old man was slipping happily when he saw Xie Jie coming!

The old man was naturally happier, but it was all in his heart, he still insisted on putting on an elder face, waiting for Xie Jie and his party to come forward, he insisted on turning his face sideways, squinting his eyes, like an old child Asked: "What are you doing in the academy? You don't study with me."

"I'll come to see you." Xie Jie wasn't afraid of Mr. Chen at all, as if he could see through the other's stern disguise at a glance.

But in fact, Xie Jie couldn't see through it. He just instinctively felt that Mr. Chen hadn't really been angry with him, at most he was a little awkward, just like his mother.Alas, the whole family also has a cheerful and lively personality.

Fang Chaoci couldn't agree with this statement.

"It must have been told by your mother again, right?" Mr. Chen was very well informed. It can be said that he was always paying attention to the court's movements and political situation. Although he was not in court, his countless eyes were still up.When many people didn't know the news of Princess Dachang and Shenzong's return, Mr. Chen was definitely not one of them, "I told you a long time ago, if you come to study with me, your mother will definitely not talk about you again."

"I'd rather be told by my mother." Xie Jie inherited his mother's side who didn't like to study so much, and also inherited his father's side of scumbag in martial arts. Rounding it up, he is a waste snack that can't do anything and eat everything.He himself is very satisfied with this, and the contented person of the standard old Wen family is always happy.

I don't know how Xie Jie grows so that he can grow like this.

Mr. Chen was not annoyed by Xie Jie's attitude, he would still persevere in bringing up the old things again when we met next time.

In the end, everyone went into the house with the earth dragon together. After all, Mr. Chen was old, so he lit a fire early to drive out the cold.

Because of Xie Jie's presence, Mr. Chen finally found a reason to dismiss the string of zongzi behind him confidently, leaving only Xie Jie and Fang Chaoci to gossip with him.However, after not waiting for a while, after making sure that those people had really left, the old man happily took Xie Jie and Fang Chaoci, and went out for a stroll on the North Peak at the back again.

Walking is a small road with few people, but the road is also very rugged. The only advantage is that the air on the mountain is fresh and the mountains are foggy. Thinking about the famous temples on the mountain, it seems that this place has become full of Buddha nature all of a sudden. The fairyland on earth and the Sanskrit sound are faint.

Xie Jie solemnly introduced Fang Chaoci to Mr. Chen once again: "My best friend, Fang Chaoci, do you remember? I actually learned something about court affairs from him recently."

Mr. Chen also had a good impression of Fang Chaoci, but unfortunately, no matter how good he was, he was someone else's student.

"Huh?" Xie Jie was taken aback, why didn't he know who Fang Chao had bid farewell to?There must be many teachers of Fang Chaoci, but there has never been a rumor of a formal master.

"The teacher is relatively low-key." Fang Chaoci said to Xie Jie.

"Low-key? Are you afraid that you will go through the back door?" Old Chen curled his lips.

"Who the hell is it?" Xie Jie was almost dying of curiosity.

"Who did I take him to see last time?" Mr. Chen didn't answer Xie Jie directly, but asked him around the corner, inspiring him to think for himself.It is similar to Fang Chao's resignation and Xie Jie's method.

"Old Duke Shao." Xie Jie replied, and he was stunned after speaking. Although he knew that Xie Jie had a relationship with Old Duke Shao, it was only because Fang Chaoci was related to Shao Zaizhi. However, what Mr. Lao Chen said in person now must not be Shao Zaizhi who is a junior, that is to say...

Xie Jie looked at Fang Chaoci in disbelief, this is really amazing.The teacher in the examination room that everyone thought was just a senior brother!How did Fang Chaoci get on the line with Mr. Shao? !

No wonder I have to love to talk about it, Fang Chaoci, as the champion of that year, was really too eye-catching when he said it.

Xie Jie was a little disappointed not being able to introduce a student to Mr. Chen who could fulfill his lifelong wish. Fang Chaoci interjected appropriately: "Isn't there a good candidate right now?"

"Who?" Xie Jie hadn't reacted yet.

"Your cousin, Gu Guan." It was Fang Chaoci's task to introduce Gu Guan to Mo Xun Academy.Like Xie Jie, the eldest princess never treats her own badly.Not to mention that the Gu family helped her to cover up Gu An's big lie, but just because of Xie He's face, the eldest princess will definitely take care of Gu Guan's study path.

Maybe the Gu family themselves had this intention, so they let their son go straight to the eldest princess's mansion as soon as he came to Jiangzuo.

"Oh, yes!" Xie Jie began to actively sell his little cousin to Mr. Chen.My cousin is smart and precocious, sensible and loves to read, but he is completely different from him anyway.The most important thing is that my cousin is a bit like him, that is, like Xie He.Mr. Chen has always wanted to cultivate another Xie He, but Xie Jie couldn't help him realize his dream. Isn't this another Gu Guan?

Gu Guan wants to worship a famous teacher, and the famous teacher wants an apprentice who can understand a little bit to fulfill his ideals, which is simply mutual benefit.

In fact, Mr. Chen had heard of Gu Guan's reputation. This kid is really a well-known child prodigy, at least in the Jiangnan area.The other party's identity as a nephew of the Gu family in Shanyin and Xie He's family also raised the expectations of others.But...it was also because of his status as the Gu family in Shanyin that Mr. Chen hesitated.

Mr. Chen wants to cultivate a gentleman in white clothes, not a family leader.The aristocratic son who has been taller than others since he was a child can't show his old man's level at all!

"It's okay, I have another candidate here." Xie Jie's smiling eyes became brighter, Gu Guan can't do it, there is Gu An.

"Both are surnamed Gu, what's the difference?" Old Chen was surprised.

"He just bears the surname Gu." Xie Jie didn't dare to reveal too much truth to Mr. Chen, because he believed that Mr. Chen would be able to guess and knew how to pretend he didn't know.

This can be regarded as a daily entertainment for his old man, entertainment with high IQ.

"Will you restore your identity in the future?"

"If we fight back to Yongji." Xie Jie felt that the hero should not remain anonymous for the rest of his life. Some people might think this is noble, but judging from Xie Jie's high-profile character, he did such an earth-shattering and beneficial thing to the world. For such a big event, don't make a fuss, it's simply anti-humanity, okay?

He is a hero, and he deserves everything a hero has, including fame, honor, and praise, all of which are indispensable!Even if it is inconvenient to disclose now for the sake of safety, the truth should still be revealed to the world in the future.

The unsung hero is great, but if Xie Jie chooses him, he still wants to be a great hero who is famous all over the world.

"I want to see his qualifications first." Chen Lao said reservedly, he is also a famous master, how could he accept disciples casually?

"That's necessary. When Gu An gets better, I'll let the two brothers take the exam together."

"...Buy one get one free?" Old Chen looked at Xie Jie with raised eyebrows, don't think he didn't hear the care in his words.

"One sheep is for raising, but two sheep are the same." After all, he is his little cousin, and Xie Jie likes Gu Guan very much, so he must recommend him in a different way.

"Then you come with me too." Mr. Chen is not a vegetarian either.

"I'm sure I won't do well in the exam." Xie Jie immediately turned into a worried face.

"Anyway, I'm on this condition, you can figure it out." Old Chen's face was serious, but his heart was already full of joy.The number of his disciples is actually not that precious. After all, what he does is teaching and educating people. He is full of peaches and plums. Anyone who has listened to his class dare to say that he has learned from Mr. Chen.What people really flock to is Mr. Chen's circle of disciples. Of course, personal disciples are still very precious. Mr. Chen has never recognized a few in his life, and the few he recognized are not like Xie He, but like Nanzi and me.

Old Chen's small calculations were flying, if the two children surnamed Gu were really malleable talents, he would choose one of them to take in a personal disciple, if that didn't work...then just be an ordinary disciple.No one will lose, and what can be used is still used.

As for Xie Jie, no matter what his brains are, Mr. Chen must be a personal disciple. Even if he is ineffective, he is Chen Maoxing's ineffective personal disciple!

It is also a good story that the father dies and the son succeeds.

……

Soon, all kinds of evil deeds Zhang Shangshu had done were exposed.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Shangshu had already started smuggling activities on the border between the two territories.All the copper coins that Daqi strictly prohibited from being shipped to neighboring countries were exchanged.More things also surfaced little by little. For example, Zhang Shangshu once exchanged the news of Daqi for the news of the barbarians to increase his bargaining chips for promotion.

Simply, simply...

The eldest princess slapped the paper full of information on the table. Fortunately, she chose to clean up this moth early!The eldest princess looked at the evidence one by one, her teeth were a little cold.

But this is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that there is still a saying that family scandals should not be publicized. I hope that Zhang Shangshu can be executed secretly, and these things must not be made public.Of course, only some people said this out of ulterior motives, and some people were worried that it would be imitated by the officials below.After all, before Zhang Shangshu, no one thought that there would be such an operation.

The eldest princess sneered, and before the officials forced her to make any concessions, King Yan of the Qi Kingdom had already sent a protest.As for Zhang Shangshu, he is wholeheartedly in love with Princess Zhenguo, yes, but he has no intention of forcing the princess to marry. The rush to help the princess is also based on the order of the emperor of Qi. Personal relationship, if Daqi doesn't give him a satisfactory explanation, he won't let it go!

The eldest princess glanced at the group of officials: "It's all about what I do? I don't have any personal contact with this yellow-haired boy from the Qi Kingdom."

This time, no one dared to doubt whether there was an affair between children or not. Instead, they were worried about diplomatic relations: "That, that is the prince of a country, Your Highness, Your Highness, let's be more polite."

"Ah."

Wen Tian really never contacted Yan Wang, she didn't want to give the other party the slightest wrong signal, but Yan Wang's side is not so good-natured, and can be used as a banner and a fake tiger at will.

The author has something to say: *The "Dijing" really existed, which is one of the characteristics of the Southern Song Dynasty.The ancients were really good at playing.That poem is also true, but the place name "Lin'an" is changed to "Jiangzuo" in the text.
