Tai Jia

"Presumptuous!" He Xihua sternly said, "You are crazy, how dare you criticize the emperor!"

Sun Xiong was startled, gritted his teeth, and quickly knelt down, "The students are crazy..."

"Such rebellious words, you are not allowed to mention them again in the future." He Xihua's expression was a solemn and cold expression that he had never seen before, "Heaven and earth are masters and masters, so they are called fathers. reason..."

Sun Xiong couldn't help interrupting him, "The Son of Heaven is also a human being, and as a human being, he will make mistakes. If he doesn't make mistakes, what else do he need to do? Isn't the Huan Biao outside the Taiji Hall just a decoration?"

He Xihua seemed to realize that he had lost his composure, and was in a daze for a moment, "This is different."

"How is it different?" Sun Xiong sarcastically said, "It is clear in the imperial court that the emperor is 'reckless and disrespectful to the empress dowager', so it is impossible for everyone from the empress dowager to the general, from the minister to the secretary, to talk nonsense with open eyes. No?"

He Xihua sat back on the chair slumped, "Although I have never met Your Majesty, I always feel that with Your Majesty's character, it is definitely not the case. But if it is said that His Majesty was framed, the empress does not have the heart of the Lu family and the Deng family, and my uncle is not Huo Guang Wang Mang's." flow."

He smiled wryly and said: "Linhuai is located in a remote place, so it can be regarded as a remote place. Maybe it's not necessarily true that His Majesty just went to the Mausoleum Palace to observe filial piety."

It was dusk at this time, the twilight was faint, and the jackdaws were crying.

Sun Xiongying's sideways face shone brightly in the twilight, and his eyes reflected the glowing sunset, which was even more amazingly bright, "I came all the way from Gyeonggi-do, and my lord is the first person to speak for the emperor. But my lord has never seen Your Majesty, let alone a deep friendship, how do you know his nature?"

He Xihua stared at him intently, and suddenly realized that Sun Xiong had two pupils in both eyes, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

"grown ups?"

He Xihua came back to his senses, "You came from the capital, and you have heard a lot of gossip and rumors, such as my He family being arrogant and domineering, and there are heirs with the same name as the prince."

"Actually, I am slightly older than your majesty by more than a month. The word Yao was also given by the late emperor. Later, perhaps the late emperor forgot and named the emperor's eldest son Yao." He Xihua sighed, "My aunt was still a concubine at the time, how could I If I can afford this crime, I immediately go to the late emperor to ask him to allow me to change my name, who would have thought that the late emperor would just laugh it off, saying that it’s all right. If the late emperor didn’t let go of the name bestowed by him, how can we dare to change it?”

"Later, the late emperor passed away, the prince succeeded to the throne, and my aunt came down. My He family is not as deep-rooted as the Zhao family in Yingchuan, the Shen family in Guangling, and the Hou Su family in Zhangye. There are many people in the court and the public who criticize me. I don't know who heard about me. Tell His Majesty about things that you have never shied away from, do you know what His Majesty said?"

Sun Xiong knew it, but Sun Xiong couldn't say, "I would like to hear more about it."

He Xihua lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty is only seven years old, so he turned around and asked his aunt, is the He family an older brother or a younger brother? Aunt said it was an older brother, and His Majesty said that it was because I stole his name. You can't blame him, and you don't have to avoid it. Auntie The reason is inconsistent with reason. Your Majesty thought about it and said that I stole his name, so I will give him back one. I heard that the minister was born on the Shangsi Festival on March [-], and His Majesty felt that the spring things are beautiful, so he bestowed this name. Your Majesty I had such a heart of kindness when I was young, but after ten years, how could I become such an unworthy person? I can't believe it."

When he said this, Sun Xiong couldn't help laughing along with him, "It's just spreading rumors, and it's also possible that His Majesty asked the Queen Mother at that time, did the elder brother of the He family look good? It's hard to say 'Hua Rong is so graceful, it made me forget my meal'?"

With his gag, He Xihua's anger almost dissipated, he sneered and said: "You are really stubborn, just now you slandered the emperor, and now you are arranging him behind your back. You say that the emperor is just like ordinary people..."

Sun Xiong felt that he was much closer to him at the moment, and interjected with a smile: "I have a disease, and I am lustful. Only when I become an emperor, can I be lustful. Do you think the emperor of the Han Dynasty will love the country, and Yuyu has been unable to ask for it for many years. Did you go down to the south of the Yangtze River to find a beauty?"

"Nonsense!" He Xihua glared at him, "I've already gone to Xinjingzhong to ask my brother about His Majesty, maybe there will be some clues soon."

Sun Xiong seldom interacted with such loyal and patriotic people, so he was a little bit at a loss for a while, happened to catch a glimpse of a thin booklet on He Xihua's case, with the word "Chen Gui", he couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of book is this? "

He Xihua took the book and handed it to him, "This was written by someone in the name of Mr. Gu Wende, using the life of Mr. Wende to describe the way of being a minister. Although it is a forgery written by later generations, it is also written according to the apocalypse, and the diction is not bad. Sophisticated and simple. If you take it and study it carefully, it will definitely be of great benefit."

"My lord admires Duke Wende?"

He Xihua looked at him strangely, "Student of the Son of Heaven, mentor of the Prince, honored and favored during his lifetime, buried with him after death, although these are enviable, they are not without exception. What is truly incomparable is his character. The wife and the crane, the breeze in both sleeves, can really be called the style of a gentleman, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. Is there any scholar who is not yearning for him?"

As he said that, he remembered something, and seemed a little sad, "Scholar, who doesn't want to make meritorious deeds? It's a pity that my talent is blunt, weak and incompetent, and I can't even do what I want to be a county magistrate."

After all, he probably felt bored himself, and seeing that it was getting late, he said: "I still have a copy of this book, so I will give it to you. I hope you can take Gu Xiang as a scholar, gain fame as soon as possible, and serve the court .”

Every time he humbled himself to the point of self-deprecation, Sun Xiong guessed that there must be some reasons that are not humane, but he was inconvenient to inquire, so he bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the book, the students will definitely live up to your kindness."

Sun Xiong went back to the county school with this official book in his arms, but felt that the book was extremely useless, and was thinking about what to do with it, when he saw his classmate Yan Yaozu rubbing his eyes and walking out with his bag on his back.

"Brother Yan, what are you?"

Yan Yaozu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, he raised his head and glanced at him, and said in a muffled voice, "I hope Brother Sun will make further progress, if he succeeds in one fell swoop in the future, don't forget the old classmates."

After finishing speaking, he scribbled his hands and left.

Sun Xiong was terrified by his envious and hateful eyes, and saw Bao Chu put his hands in his sleeves and stood aside, "His father died, and only grandma and mother are left at home, so I have to go back to farm. "

County school training is extremely low, and if someone in the family is in corvée, the training can be exempted.Since He Xihua took charge of Linhuai and hired famous teachers, the county school is no worse than the family school of a wealthy family.

In Linhuai today, all young people who can read a few words want to study hard in the county school, so that they can gain fame in the future or find a way out without continuing to face the loess and the sky.

Yan Yaozu was already mediocre in learning, but now he has to go back to support his family and fulfill his filial piety. This road to success is completely blocked.

Sun Xiong looked at his slender back, and could hardly imagine the pair of hands holding the hoe, so he listened to Bao Chu and said indifferently: "Liang Chengdong stopped reading half a year ago. Now it is him, and I don't know who will be next." .”

Sun Xiong was stuck in his throat, and Bao Chu whispered again: "What do you mean by saying that people are alive?"

The author has something to say: Guess which of the two versions you heard is true
