Chapter 45: It is not easy to live in Luoyang
When Wang Zhizhang walked out of the courtyard and came to the alley, he happened to see the study woman personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor stood at the entrance of the alley. She wore a blue silk skirt and stood quietly at the entrance of the alley. This narrow alley only allowed one person to pass through, so the woman just waited at the entrance of the alley and did not rush to walk into the alley.
When Wang Zhizhang came to the entrance of the alley, the woman who was reading with two books bowed to the important minister in the court and slowly entered the alley without saying much.
The common people living in Luoyang City always like to have some fun when they have nothing to do. One of them is to laugh at the minister's office as if the officials in other courts were just like the officials in other courts. But in fact, among these ministers, the higher the official position, the more they restrain their servants. Otherwise, they would make some postures, otherwise these things would be passed into the ears of the Emperor Yanling, and they would probably have some bad effects.
But I just think that since this scholar was appointed as Wang Yanqing by His Majesty the Emperor, no matter which minister in Luoyang City is in comparison, I am afraid that no matter which family in charge of the officials is in charge of her.
A study woman named Chunshui pushed open the gate of the courtyard and came to the stone table where Wang Yanqing was sitting. After a bow, Chunshui sat in Wang Zhizhang's seat before and said with a smile: "I met Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice at the entrance of the alley. It should be here to find Mr. Xu. If the sir has something to do, then I can't hear Chunshui's reading."
Wang Yanqing, who had already collected Go on the stone table, smiled calmly and said, "But it's okay to read. Even if there is something wrong, it won't delay your time listening to books."
Chunshui nodded, picked up a book, turned a page, and smiled and said, "I read the same manuscript of Mr. Li Changgu today, but I have read so many these days, but these two are left."
Wang Yanqing smiled but said nothing.
So Chunshui opened his mouth and said softly: "The sky and the river floated back to the stars at night, and the clouds flowed in the silver pu learned the sound of water. The osmanthus trees in the jade palace had not yet fallen, and the fairy concubine picked fragrance and draped tassels. Qin Fei rolled the curtains in the north and the morning window, and planted the green phoenix in front of the window. The prince blows the flute and the long goose pipes, shouts the dragon to plant the jade grass, the pink clouds, the red ribbons, the lotus silk skirt, and the green island walks to pick orchids. The east point is Xihe who can ride horses, and the sea dust is reborn under the mountain of new stones."
Chunshui was originally before studying for Wang Yanqing, but she was just an ordinary palace maid in the palace, and she didn't even know much of the words. Later, after studying hard for several months, she could only recognize all these common words. After studying over the years, she naturally recognized a lot of words. But in fact, it was really difficult for her to talk about the pros and cons of this poem. Therefore, after she finished reading, she stopped talking and just waited for Wang Yanqing to comment.
But unexpectedly, Wang Yanqing nodded and stopped talking, indicating that Chunshui could recite the next poem.
Chunshui was slightly shocked and asked curiously: "Sir, don't comment one or two?"
Wang Yanqing shook his head and said, "I just thought that Mr. Changgu wrote poems as he pleased. Later, I reminisced and found a lot of them. With my knowledge, I am not qualified to comment on it. After that, I will not comment on this gentleman's poems again."
Chunshui said oh, but he didn't know what Wang Yanqing said, so he just opened it and wrote a page to read the next poem.
Afterwards, every time she finished reading a poem, Wang Yanqing nodded. After reading both books, the sky moved westward and the sky became darker. Wang Yanqing poured a cup of tea for Chunshui and said with a smile: "From this gentleman's manuscript, there should be another one I have not read. Could it be that the manuscript of the poem is so well written that Your Majesty can't bear to take it out of the palace?"
Chunshui was suddenly shocked and said in panic: "Before Chunshui left the palace every day, Your Majesty always told Chunshui to study hard, saying that it was the books in the palace and the Hanlin Academy. As long as the teacher wanted, he would take out all the books. It would never be possible to have such a collection of books."
Although Wang Yanqing could not see Chunshui's expression, the girl was extremely nervous when she thought she waved her hand to comfort her: "Just say it casually, there is no need to do this."
Before Wang Yanqing finished speaking, he heard a few extremely slight sobs. Although the other party tried his best to hold it back, he still heard it. He was blind for many years and his hearing had already become extremely sensitive. In addition, he was a cultivator with a high level of level, so there was no reason to be inaudible.
Wang Yanqing was alone and spent his whole life on practicing and studying. He never thought about the relationship between men and women, so he naturally didn't know how to coax the girl. He just said softly: "You can pack your bags when you return to the palace today, and then go to the palace to choose some books, and come here tomorrow morning."
Chunshui said in surprise: "Sir, are you going to go far?"
Wang Yanqing nodded and said with a smile: "It's boring to go to the north. It's a boring thing to have no books to read."
Chunshui opened her eyes wide and seemed really happy. She grew up in the palace since she was a child and had a wish to go out of the palace to see Luoyang City. Later, after she could go in and out of the palace every day, she would deliberately choose some streets she had never been to when she went back. Later, she wanted to see the scene outside the city, but she had never had the chance. Today, she had a dream come true, so how could she not cheer?
Wang Yanqing ignored it and just instructed: "Remember to pick some good books. If you are unsure of your mind, just ask Your Majesty to choose. By the way, I will tell him that I will talk to him when I come back. See what his expression is. Let me tell you tomorrow."
Chunshui nodded and wrote down all the signs, but soon he thought that the husband was blindly ignoring things, so he said softly: "I understand."
After Wang Yanqing got up, he turned around and returned to the room. He walked very naturally, which was his announcement that today's study was over.
Chunshui stayed alone in the yard for a while, watered Wang Yanqing's wintersweet trees and the orchids in front of the door, cleaned up the fallen leaves in the yard, said sir, I'll leave, and then closed the door for Wang Yanqing with slightest move.
After walking out of the narrow alley, Chunshui was in a very good mood. She walked along the way and thought about what she should take out the house. After walking through several streets, she began to think about the gentle gentleman in the yard again.
She murmured as she walked, "Sir, a good person."
——
Wang Zhizhang's carriage had not yet arrived at the Ministry of Justice. When he passed by a street, he was stopped by a man. The man had a knife hanging around his waist, with a firm expression and a strong figure. Although he was only wearing a cloth robes, he was full of momentum and was probably not an ordinary person.
Wang Zhizhang poked his head out of the carriage, saw the man's face, and was silent for a moment, and then asked the groom to turn his head and look for his other way, not wanting to negotiate with the man with a knife.
Seeing the Minister of Justice at the street corner, the man who turned around and hung his sword when he saw him did not stop him, but just smiled heroically and said, "Wang Zhizhang, you will want to come to see me one day."
The Minister of Justice in the carriage listened to these words and said angrily: "Xu Wuting, what does it have to do with me when you were demoted from the border army to Beijing?"
Xu Wuting, the former general of the northern border army and one of the thirteen generals in Yanling, was only one step away from being a marquis. At the beginning of the year, he lost his military power for some reason and was exiled to the capital. Now he has been idle in Luoyang City.
The general never believed that he would be demoted for no reason. After he wrote a letter without success, he began to trouble these big men in the court. These civil officials who were somewhat inconsistent with him on weekdays were the objects of his daily disturbances.
——
After Chunshui returned to the palace, he first reported the request of His Majesty the Emperor's Mr. Today, and then after saying that his Majesty would talk to His Majesty for a while, he kept trying his best to observe His Majesty's expression. Then he was driven out by Emperor Yanling. After hearing this, Emperor Yanling went straight to the library and wanted to select a few books that were eye-catching for the gentleman.
After walking out of the library, it was completely dark. His Majesty the Emperor handed the book in his hand to the eunuch, told him to hand it over to Chunshui, and then walked in the palace alone with a lantern.
With the lantern, His Majesty the Emperor walked around the palace with great interest, and then sat on the ground on a jade step and placed the lantern beside him. The emperor whispered: "Mr. Yanqing's trip is just a good time to see how many people in Yanling are different from me. Since there are so many dirty things in this city, I will wash it with blood."
At the end, this Emperor Yanling, who has always shown himself as a gentle person, actually has a harsh face.
