The Snowy Path of the Heroic Blade Chapter 116: Liyang loses its deer (Part 1)

At the end of the first year of Xiangfu, the first snow fell sharply. It's just that compared to previous years, I heard that there were 70% to 80% fewer visitors inside and outside Tai'an City this year. I want to make the wine sellers at the scattered stalls make less money.

There are countless Zhang Mansions in the capital, but one mansion is undoubtedly unique. Whether local officials go to Beijing or scholars from other countries, as long as they ask the people in the capital about where Zhang Mansion is, the latter must be too lazy. I asked which Master Zhang's house it was, but gave the answer directly.

Even if the snow is heavy, the imperial road is so thick that it can’t be swept clean, but the meeting is still the same, not to mention the sensitive moment when the Crown Prince supervises the country, which official will be late after eating the bear heart and the leopard?

But today, in the temple, there is no one person, and he is missing. Everyone is shocked and absent-minded. Even the Crown Prince of Jian Guo has a clear look of trance.

This person who was absent from the court meeting for the first time in an unprecedented situation did not ask for leave, as if he was telling the prince of the supervising kingdom and the civil and military of the Manchu a simple truth: I am not coming or not.

His Royal Highness turned a blind eye to this, neither asked the chief **** to ask for warmth on his behalf, nor did he get angry. You can make a big deal or make a big deal. The same is true for Bai Guo, as long as nothing happens.

Some people want to take advantage of the problem, but they hesitate for a long time, but still don't dare.

After all, even Shin Saburo took the initiative to sew his mouth today.

The official who made the entire imperial meeting look like the imperial meeting is today's first assistant Zhang Julu.

He and the emperor who was patrolling the border are tied for the first person in the dynasty, but one is the first person among the kings, and the other is the first person among the courtiers.

Zhang Julu didn't feel unwell today, but just after putting on the first-grade purple robe, he suddenly didn't want to participate in the morning dynasty, and then he stopped going.

The old man whose temples were getting frosty sat under the eaves in the early morning, and did not put on more comfortable and warm clothes. The old housekeeper at the house moved to the simple stove woven with bamboo strips, which has been added to the stove many times. charcoal fire.

Except for a few times in this life, Zhang Julu was forced to drink two glasses by his close friend Tan Tanwong, and he almost never drinks. He insists on drinking and mishaps, but today there is nothing to do, and it seems that there is nothing to do in the future. Old man I still didn't have the slightest idea of ​​drinking. Near noon, I scribbled some rough homemade cakes from the house, and continued to look through the anonymous poetry book in my hand. Zhang Julu's talent in governing the country is outstanding in the world. I am afraid that he was the strong political enemy who was still powerful at the beginning of his fortune. He will not deny it against his will. It is just that Zhang Julu was born as a Huang Menlang of the Imperial Academy, except for those art articles when he was young. It’s still a bit so-so and talented. After that, whether it’s a correct or an excerpt, the words and expressions are indifferent to the text itself. After so many years, there is no masterpiece handed down by a famous teacher, nor has he been particularly favored by a writer. , There is no final comment on any masterpiece.

For outsiders, it seems that Master Shoufu seems to have a natural resistance to writing, but in fact, only Huan Wen knows that his old friend Zhang Julu does not hesitate to dance, but he also loves the masterpieces of many scholars, especially the finishing touches. Regardless of whether it is a frontier fortress poem, a boudoir complaint poem or a sympathy poem, the sacrificial essays also have their own preferences. The text, Zhao Changling personally caught the sword in the battle of the West Leibi fighting Chu's text, and so on, Zhang Julu would take it out from time to time and turn it over. Among them is Huang Longshi’s "The Yellow River is straight north for more than a thousand miles, and the injustice becomes a black cloud." There was the phrase "There is no war in the quiet end of the world, and the soldiers are sold as the sun and moon." by the person who was once scolded by the literary circle as "Mei Xu Meiliang". Laugh, Tianbao’s last years of makeup", especially Xu Weixiong, also took up a lot of space in more than 300 articles, and even a few poems that Xu Fengnian bought with a large amount of money are listed among them.

This is probably the so-called prime minister's belly measure.

The old steward suddenly trot up the steps and said in a low voice: "Please tell me, the young master is here."

Zhang Julu was a little bit puzzled, but didn't say anything. Although his father should have his son and daughter-in-law in awe, he is more than unkind to the point where the children are not allowed to disturb, but the eldest son and the second son. The temperament is weak, and a bit pedantic since childhood. After getting married and starting a business, the two daughter-in-laws were born in small families. If they hadn't entrusted Master Shoufu with the blessing of their two grandchildren, they wouldn't dare to come here and find it uncomfortable. The youngest son, Zhang Bianguan, is an outlier of the three sons. He has the strongest temper, but his relationship with this mansion is also the most stiff. Zhang Bianguan took the initiative to walk into this mansion, and it was indeed a matter of the sun hitting the west. Although Zhang Julu had no expression on his face, he subconsciously forgot to look at the direction of the courtyard gate.

Tiger poison still doesn't eat children. How many fathers in the world really hate their sons?

Zhang Bianguan is still the virtuous man. Pi Dian Pi Dian ran into the yard, carrying a thing that is not common in Beijing. It is a small bamboo braided copper stove popular in the countryside in the south of the Yangtze River, with charcoal fire inside. Covered with ashes to keep warm, elderly people like to carry such objects in winter, whether they are going for a walk or chatting at home. I often use this from time to time. After all, it saves a lot of charcoal fire compared to a large stove. It can be used even by poor families. After the capital became famous, only the grandfather of Zhang Bianguan who moved to Tai'an City to settle for the elderly occasionally used it. Several times, I don't know where Zhang Bianguan got such an old antique that can't be on the table today.

Zhang Bianguan asked the steward for some new charcoal fire and poured it into the stove, and shoveled some ash from the bamboo stick fire at Zhang Julu's feet, squatted on the ground and smashed it, and handed it to Zhang Julu, who froze for a while, and took it. Putting it on his lap, holding the book in one hand and the stove in the other hand, the warmth suddenly increased a bit.

Zhang Bianguan asked the steward for a small bench again, and murmured and complained: "I don't know how old people are. I don't know how old they are. I have to watch the snow and study outdoors and be a hero..."

The steward smiled and left, these words, that is what the little son said, the other two sons would never dare to say such words, the master only needs to be a little impatient and squint, those two Only knowing that the son who buries his head in studying the sages and sages will tremble, and he will walk on thin ice in the summer.

Zhang Bianguan dialed the charcoal fire in the large furnace with iron tongs, and said to himself: "Listening to the market, you, the first assistant, are becoming more and more useless. Many small officials of rank five and six are also Dare to play sloppy eyes, except for Wang Xionggui’s household and ritual departments, who are still kind, the officials, the military, the industry, and the criminal department all have policies and countermeasures against Zhang Lushang, especially the Hanlin Yuan and Guozijian, the Qing noble officer. We and Qingliu scholars, we will release a few poems that borrow from the past and satire the present every three weeks. What's more, the emperor’s imperial driver will go to Liangliao before to cleanse the inner and outer courts. Goulian’s case of corruption against Mo, now he goes to Jizhou to reverse the case of the Han family. All the targets are directed towards a certain official surnamed Zhang in Chaozhong."

Zhang Julu smiled and asked: "Is there any more?"

Zhang Bianguan knocked on the iron tongs, and sneered: "Yes! Why not? I really want to say that a basket is not enough!"

Zhang Julu asked calmly and lightly: "Didn't you also say that the current officials are just arguing about right and wrong?"

Zhang Bianguan put his hands on top of the stove and burned his head without raising his head. "If you don't stop it in time, can you save it if you don't stop it in time and wait until the evil rain is poured on your head?"

Zhang Julu said impatiently: "Just say this? You can leave when you are finished."

Zhang Bianguan suddenly raised his head and asked with red eyes: "This time, I actually said two things. First, the Yushi impeached my elder brother for embezzling fertile land, the second brother cheated in the imperial examination, and others scolded you, Master Shoufu. , I don’t care, and I don’t have the ability to blend in, but why do you treat my two brothers like this?! You can control it, why swallow? Even if... even if the ending is the same ending, I don’t care about anything in the mud, but you Can't I let my two brothers go more glorious?!"

Zhang Julu said calmly: "Your second brother cheated in the imperial examination. It means that Yakui, who won the sixth place in the provincial examination, had a wrong background. Although I didn't instruct anything, I can study it carefully, but it is still true. After all, the emperor ordered it. The chief examiner is my student from Zhang Lu. With your second brother’s skill in making art, it’s not difficult to pass the rural exam, but it’s a foolish dream to get Yaqui. As for your elder brother’s embezzlement of fertile fields..."

Zhang Bianguan said angrily: "Just my elder brother, the nerd, and my sister-in-law, every time I come to the mansion, I always have the exact same clothes and jewelry that are still worthwhile, competing with the people?! Your first assistant, for the sake of his reputation, I never go to the eldest brother’s mansion to take a look. I have been to Zhangbianguan countless times. I know what kind of hard life my eldest brother and sister-in-law have had!"

Zhang Julu interrupted the youngest son's words, and calmly said: "For eight years in Yonghui, I did help your elder brother purchase three hundred acres of fertile land~IndoMTL.com~ The technique is not glorious, but your elder brother has been kept in the dark. "

Zhang Bianguan was stunned, and then tears welled up in his eyes, muttering to himself, "Why is this, why do you even have to calculate your own son..."

Zhang Julu looked at the snow in the courtyard, it was white, no one was going to sweep it for half a day, maybe it was knee-thick, and whispered: "The so-called Spring of Yonghui, all the princes of the temple are well aware of it. Those who stand side by side in the future will mostly come from poor families."

Zhang Julu put down his book, stood up, held the small stove in his hands, and muttered to himself: "The rules of the poor family have no good sons. It has been broken, and it is of great significance. Shu, "you" people are no longer the rootless duckweed. But the pros and cons of the giants have been well understood by everyone in the past 800 years, so in the next 800 years, those cold men who jumped over the dragon gate will introspect themselves? How much introspection? The Hanshi suddenly became rich, Chaowei Tian Shelang, and Mu Deng Tianzitang. Do you really think anyone can hold the original heart in this dyeing tank of officialdom? It is precisely these barefoot people who stand in high positions. , Once it becomes evil, there is no bottom line."

Zhang Julu smiled and said: "This door was opened by my Zhang Julu, so on the other hand, Zhang Julu, who was the first assistant and the power in the field for 20 years, was ruined because of Sun’s cheating and corruption. A dose of cool powder for later generations who are in the court?"
