Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The third level pavilion in Xuanyuan Palace is about one and a half rooms wide, and is divided into front and back rooms by a three-leaf landscape screen.  On the east wall of the front room are two sets of short chairs for guests to chat and take a nap. On the west wall are a row of four or five drum stools and a large square table surrounded by eight hollow carved black lacquer seats.  , facing the four large windows facing south.  Outside the window is a five-foot-wide corridor. Standing on the corridor and leaning on the railing, you can have a panoramic view of the sky and the earth. You can see mountains with pine and cypress trees, surrounded by heavy peaks covered with dense shade. There are birds flying in the forest and crows dancing in the evening.  There are thatched huts and corner huts looming in the mountains. As the sun's shadow moves westward, a faint purple mist emerges from the mountain valleys and flows in the valleys

    As soon as Shang Cheng entered the door, he immediately asked the little Taoist boy to close the window first.  Li Mu's face is still ugly, and Tian Xiu's mood has not stabilized yet. He can't let others see and laugh at them!

    When the Taoist boy offered tea and went out to close the door, Shang Cheng frowned and glanced at the man who followed Tian Xiu in, and asked Li Mu, "Who is this"

    Li Mu then remembered that he should introduce them.  Alas, he was so stunned by the popularity that he actually forgot about it!  He said: "This is Pingyuan Li Zhe, also known as Jiushi, who once studied under Mr. Dongli. Brother Jijun, this is the uncle of Yingxian County; you may have heard of it."

    Li Zhe also had a bad look on his face. He met Shang Cheng with a scribe's ceremony, reluctantly exchanged a few words of politeness, and then went to comfort Tian Xiu after accusing him of the crime.

    Tian Xiu sat beside the short desk.  Now, her face was no longer completely red like before, but it was frighteningly pale.  Her hands fell on her knees, clutching her gown tightly, and she sat there motionless, as if she was a lifeless sculpture.  She didn't even glance at the tea soup next to her or Li Zhemiao beside her. She just stared straight at the wooden floor under her feet, as if there was no such person at all

    Shang Cheng stared at her deeply, pursed his lips, and turned his eyes elsewhere.  He had known Tian Xiu for more than a day or two, and he also learned about the origin of the "Qingshan Manuscript" from Chen Pu - it was Chen Pu who helped her engrave and publish it without telling Tian Xiu.  Although Chen Pu soon realized that he had done something wrong and hurriedly tried to take back the hundreds of books he had given away, the impact had already been caused, and Tian Xiu's reputation was also severely damaged.  Because the articles included in "Qingshan Manu" contained many deviant and strange theories, it was immediately besieged by others as soon as it was published. Even Tian Xiu's father Tian Wang wrote a letter to curse  He told his daughter and publicly said that he did not have such a daughter!  As a Confucian master, Tian Wang's words are not just empty words to intimidate.  In fact, from the moment Tian Wang said those words, the two fathers and daughters have never contacted each other again, and Tian Xiu has never returned home again.  Shang Cheng sympathized with Tian Xiu's experience, and at the same time had a certain degree of admiration for her tenacity and strong character.  If Tian Xiu had not always misunderstood him, he would actually be willing to discuss the "Qingshan Manuscript" with Mr. Qingshan.  Even if he were still the admiral of Yanshan, he would definitely be willing to designate a few counties as "experimental fields" and then ask Tian Xiu to practice those views and insights that are regarded as "reverse" in Yanshan

    Except for Li Zhe, no one in the cabinet was interested in talking for a while.

    But it was not quiet in the attic.  Li Zhe kept chattering in a low voice.  His voice was so low that others couldn't hear what he was saying; but his voice was very noisy, just like a fly or mosquito flying around in his ear; the most important thing was that no one could hear what he was saying.  Knowing that he must be comforting and persuading Tian Xiu, no matter how annoying his moaning voice was, no one could stand up and shut him up.

    While being upset, Shang Cheng suddenly heard that something seemed to have fallen to the ground; and it was not the same thing that fell to the ground.  The floor made a continuous clicking sound, very rhythmic

    But the sound was so slight that he wondered if he had misheard it.  He glanced at Ran Linde; Ran Linde was also looking at him.  Obviously, he also noticed this movement.

    Shang Cheng became alert instantly.  Is this a sign of an earthquake, or is there a possibility that Xuanyuan Palace will collapse?  He held his breath and felt it, but he didn't notice any shaking under his feet, nor did the tea soup in the porcelain cup shake. He looked up at the beams and arches of the house, and didn't see any dust falling - it seemed that it wasn't an earthquake or this wooden building.  dangerous.  But where did those tiny sounds come from?

    Ran Linde suddenly gave him a wink, indicating that he should pay attention to the hem of Tian Xiu's gown.

    He immediately noticed that the hem of Tian Xiu¡¯s gown was swinging slightly.  However, Tian Xiu sat there with a sullen face, motionless like a wooden statue. The doors and windows of this attic were closed tightly, and there was no breeze. How could the hem of her gown move automatically without wind?

    This thought didn¡¯t even finish half a circle in his mind before he found the answer: Damn it, what did those bastards do?To make Tian Xiu so angry?

    For the sake of Li Mu and Tian Xiu, he originally didn't plan to ask what happened just now.  But seeing Tian Xiu shaking with anger, he could no longer suppress his anger.  Tian Xiu, a girl who suffered from mother-in-law, respects teachers and is very self-sufficient. Apart from writing an inappropriate book and treating him badly, apart from those two "shortcomings", he is really good.  I don¡¯t know what bad habits or habits this girl has!  He suddenly regretted it.  He shouldn't just let those bastards commit themselves

    He looked gloomily and asked Li Mu quietly: "What is going on?"

    Li Mu gritted his teeth, shook his head slightly, and said painfully: "Just stop asking. I'm begging you, don't ask anymore"

    "what happened?"

    " Qingshan and I shouldn't have come." Li Mu sighed deeply before saying anything, "It's my fault too, because he wanted to help Senior Brother Jiu. Who knew, who knew Alas, these are all scholars.  He is a scholar Could it be that so many books and so many teachings from sages have been read into the dog's belly? Even Qingshan, Qingshan, she, she they shouldn't, shouldn't Alas!" He was in pain.  He closed his eyes and raised his face suddenly.

    The moment he raised his head, Shang Cheng noticed tears in the corners of Li Mu's eyes.

    Fuck him!  A curse word immediately rolled through Shang Cheng's stomach.  Although Li Mu's words were intermittent, he could still understand half of them.  No need to ask, those people must have been scornful of Tian Xiu in their words and deeds, and even humiliated Li Mu.  As for what those people said and did, do we still need to ask?  Being able to make Li Mu cry with anger shows how vicious and cruel these guys' actions are!

    He stood up suddenly, walked to the door in three steps and two steps, opened the door of the attic and shouted: "Li Feng!"

    Li Fengzheng came with several confessions to report. When he heard his greeting, his conditioned reflex was to stand upright with his legs crossed and his arms raised to his chest: "I'm here!"

    "Have those guys left?" Shang Cheng asked.  Without waiting for Li Feng to answer, he immediately said, "Catch me again after you leave! One by one, you immediately send these guys to the Ministry of War Prison! Warn the people of Xiyue Temple, whoever dares to let these guys  If the bastard comes out in one piece, I will demolish the military prison!"

    Li Mu was recalling all the events just now and was feeling so sad that he couldn't help himself. When he suddenly heard his instructions, he suddenly felt a thrill in his body and hurriedly rushed over and said: "Zida! Zida! You must never do this! You must never do this!"  No! These people are either imperial students or officials from various places. Two of them are children of prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. Not only are their articles quite famous, but the teacher is also a leader. If you deal with them like this, their teachers, family and friends will inevitably  I won¡¯t give up on you! If you deal with it this way, someone will get hold of you! When the time comes, even if you are from Shangzhu Kingdom, you won¡¯t be able to get away easily!¡±

    Tian Xiu felt both grateful and worried.  She also wanted to stand up and persuade Shang Cheng to stop, but she couldn't use any strength in her body. She wanted to speak a few words, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.  She could only look at Shang Cheng with pleading eyes: No, no, no

    Shang Cheng couldn¡¯t listen to them at all.  He couldn't kill the King of Donglu Valley, he couldn't kill all the people of Tujieci, and he couldn't avenge his blood feud. This was the situation of the time, and the situation in the court was set, and there was nothing he could do about it; but if he couldn't even kill these few people in front of him,  He can't even deal with flies, and he can only grit his teeth and endure such bird-like behavior, so what else does he have to do in Shangzhu Kingdom?  He waved his hand and said with a sneer: "How dare they open their mouths and bite people when they have teachers and friends? Don't you have friends too?"

    Li Mu originally wanted to say that his friends, teachers, and teachers were all men of both morality and integrity, and there was no way he would stand up and yell at these people. As the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that what Shang Cheng meant by "friends"  Just himself.  For a moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was so choked that he was speechless.

    But he still tried hard to persuade Shang Cheng that those people must not be sent to the Ministry of War Prison.  After all, this is a private grudge; the Ministry of War Prison is a public weapon; using a public weapon to deal with private grudges is an unjust prison. Even if it can relieve the temporary anger in the heart, it will bring a bad reputation if it is spread out.  What's more, Shang Cheng's own situation is not that good. On the one hand, he and Zhang Pu have opinions about each other. On the other hand, he and Xiao Jian, Yang Du and Yan Ju are not dealing with each other. If he gives this handle to  Opponent, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Shang Cheng to end up

    Tian Xiu looked at Shang Cheng eagerly and nodded vigorously.  She agreed with Li Mu's view.  It's not that she doesn't want to do anything to those people, it's that she can't.  The official career is dangerous and difficult. She can't watch Shang Cheng suffer a big loss because of her own affairs!

    Listening to Li Mu's "reason" and seeing Tian Xiu nodding his head, Shang Cheng felt dumbfounded.  Like Li Mu and Tian Xiu?Simple people should actually study in peace and contentment. Why do they have to accompany Zhang Pu and Zhu Xuan to suppress land annexation?  However, the care and concern for him shown in their words made him feel warm in his heart.  Although the possibilities they mentioned did not exist at all, and he could not be defeated by such things, he could feel that their concern for him was sincere and sincere

    He had no choice but to explain to them: "I am not creating any injustice, but I want to seriously investigate their motives for spying on military secrets. You also heard what General Linde said just now. If they commit the crime of spying on the army, they must be punished. As for  Would it be best if someone could complain for them? We are trying to find out who is behind this."

    Li Mu opened his mouth in surprise.  He thought it was Ran Linde's random reason, but he didn't know it was true.

    Ran Linde was also confused.

    "What I'm talking about is the astronomical telescope. What I'm talking to you about is the telescope. Not only does it have great use in astronomical observation, but its military use is even broader. This is very important to our Zhao  Military construction is very important, so it must be kept secret," Shang Cheng said.  He even found a reason.  It was not easy for everyone not to work in the same yamen and not see each other on a daily basis, so he took the opportunity of Zhongqiu to invite Mr. Li, the former Shaoqing of the Taishi Bureau, and Mr. Tian from the Ministry of Works, to Huangdengguan for a preliminary contact.  , discuss how the various yamen should cooperate
