People were coming and going in the square in front of the temple, and the sounds of various hawkers filled my ears, but the voice of the painting seller was not so loud.  It was small, but except Zeng Yu¡¯s master and servant, no one else paid attention to the painting seller. It seemed that the painting seller had been here for more than a day or two. The people who came here often had nothing new, but Si Xi felt that it was fresh.  , he had already rushed to the painting seller, glanced at the calligraphy and paintings on the ground, turned to Zeng Yu and shouted: "Master, Master, this man is good at painting.  "When Zeng Yu was studying calligraphy and painting, he was always surrounded by the four joys. The more he read, the more his eyesight would naturally improve. He could even tell the difference between a painting and calligraphy. Zeng Yu came over to look at the paintings. The painting seller  He raised his eyes and looked at Zeng Yu's master and servant. He still had his head lowered, as if he was numb and gave up hope, but he still shouted "Sell paintings and calligraphy to avenge my father". There were three calligraphy and paintings spread on the ground, one with a calligraphy and two with two paintings.  The words are a five-character poem, written in Daxing regular script, with Huang Tingjian's style of writing, which is quite sophisticated. The poem says: "No one travels in the big valley, going in and out among sharks and crocodiles."  Holding a coral tree in his hand, he was speechless.  There is no hope in the light of work, and it is also clear from the abyss.  Everyone cares about their own interests, how can two people support each other?  When meeting a well-dressed guest on the road, the horse will not spin when hit by its hub.  Traveling with your son is very difficult, why do you see doubts?  " This poem has a noble and simple spirit, which is very different from the popular Taige style and Liqi poems nowadays. Zeng Yu was secretly surprised, and then looked at the painting attentively. One of the two paintings was an orchid and bamboo, and the other was an old plum in the ice and snow.  The ink and wash are mixed with green, which is quite the style of Wen Weiming of the Wu sect, but the skill is much weaker, far less than the poem and regular calligraphy. It is obvious that the author has not studied the art of painting deeply, but this poem and calligraphy are really outstanding.  At the hands of the young scholar in front of him? Sixi, the scholar, asked the painting seller garrulously about his grievances. The painting seller must have been tired of being asked and was too lazy to answer, so he only said: "  The injustice sinks to the bottom of the sea. The injustice sinks to the bottom of the sea.  " Zeng Yu motioned to Si Xi not to ask too many questions. He, Zeng Jiuli, was neither a knight nor an emperor who paid private visits in private. Even if he asked about other people's grievances under the sea, what ability could he have to help others redress their grievances? How much ability could he do to accomplish great things?  Trying to do what you can will only lead to trouble, so I immediately asked: "How can I sell these three calligraphy and paintings?  "I can help you with a few dollars, but I can't help anyone else." But the painting seller asked, "How much do you think these three paintings and calligraphy would cost?"  Zeng Yu said: "One tael of silver."  "Last year he was selling paintings in Linchuan City. Mr. Xie Zhenxie offered one tael of silver, which was already a very high price. When he heard that Zeng Yu was willing to offer one tael of silver to buy the painting, the painting seller seemed to have woken up from a dream.  General shook his head vigorously, looked at Zeng Yu, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Is this young master your surname, Zeng Yu, and the character Jiuli?"  " This question was so abrupt that Zeng Yu was greatly surprised. He hesitated for a moment and then replied: "I, Zeng Yu, forgive me for my blindness, but I can't remember where I have seen this brother before.  " The painting seller showed a stiff smile on his face and said: "I have been selling paintings for three days, and only Mr. Zeng paid such a high price.  " This did not answer the point. Is Zeng Yu the only one who is willing to pay a high price for paintings? It is really unreasonable! But I saw the painting seller leaning over to put away the three calligraphy and paintings on the ground and said: "Master Zeng, please  Come with me, there is a gentleman who wants to get acquainted with Mr. Zeng. This calligraphy and painting was made by that gentleman. He is temporarily staying in the White Horse Temple. Mr. Zeng, please move here.  Zeng Yuxin said: "As expected, this calligraphy and painting was not made by this young man."  Asked: "May I ask the name of the owner of this calligraphy and painting?"  " The painting seller said: "It's only a few steps away, the young master will know it when he sees it.  " This poem "No One Wanders in the Great Valley" is high and steep, quite extraordinary. The person who wrote the poem should be a person. Zeng Yu also wanted to see it. There was no need to be suspicious and afraid of falling into a trap. He immediately followed the painting seller into the temple.  What surprised Zeng Yu was that the gods enshrined in the White Horse Temple were Liu Yi and the Dragon Girl. Liu Yi was a fictional character in Tang Dynasty legends. The story of Liu Yi delivering a letter to the Dragon Girl is almost a household name in Nanchang City.  But it was enshrined as the Dragon God. If there was a drought, nearby people would come here to pray for rain - What surprised Zeng Yu even more was that the owner of the three paintings and calligraphy was about thirty years old, dressed like snow, and of extraordinary bearing.  , but his expression was cold and cold, which made people awe at first sight. Zeng Yu was sure that he had never seen this person before. The abbot's small room in the back hall was spotless and the layout was very neat. It was obviously not the sloppy temple.  It can be arranged, and this person¡¯s snow-white robes and sharp eyes don¡¯t look like a down-and-out person. Zeng Yu thought to himself: ¡°Who is this person?  Why do you want to see me?  Why do you know my nickname?  ¡± Zeng Yu is full of foodQuestioning, he raised his hands and said: "I wonder what this gentleman has to say?" The man in white robe smiled slightly, as if the spring breeze was thawing, his ice-like expression suddenly became warm and hearty, and he said politely: "Master Zeng, I have been looking up to you for a long time. Please sit down.  "Tea." This white-robed man was very elegant and charming. Zeng Yu sat down, and a young servant who was about the same age as Si Xi held a cup of tea and then stepped away. The white-robed man signaled to Si Xi to also exit the door.  , said: "I have something important to discuss with Mr. Zeng." Si Xi looked at Zeng Yu, Zeng Yu nodded, and Si Xi withdrew.  Bai Pao Ke got straight to the point and said, "I know that Mr. Zeng has a close relationship with Mr. Fenyi Yange and Yan Shilang's family. Now I have something to ask of you. I hope Mr. Zeng will not turn it away." What Bai Pao Ke said was asking for help.  , but the expression on his face is still arrogant, without any condescension. It does not look like someone who is bribing and begging for mercy, but like Zeng Yu is asking for something from him, and he is considering it as appropriate. This feeling is very strange.  Zeng Yu thought of the bribers walking in the bamboo forest in the back garden of Youzhu Residence, and said coldly and politely: "I don't know where you learned that I have a good relationship with Mr. Yan Ge's family. I have never seen Mr. Yan Ge's face.  Since you have something to ask for, you should go to the capital. If you are a poor scholar, it would be a waste of time for you to ask me for help. " Baipao Ke said, "Young Master Zeng, please don't be too humble. I am the master of Master Zeng and the eldest Young Master Yan Shilang.  The friendship between students is extraordinary, this is not a secret. Mr. Zeng must also know that the gate of Yange¡¯s old mansion in Beijing is not so easy to enter. What¡¯s more, Ding You is here. Of course, he met Mr. Yan through Mr. Zeng. Xu Tu  "It's better to cling to him." Zeng Yu should have just brushed off his clothes and left, but he always felt that this white-robed guest did not look like a briber. This man called mourning and mourning "Ding You", which was obviously an official tone. How could an official like Ding You ask for it?  For such a young scholar, there was something strange about this, and he said, "This gentleman is too flattering to me. Do you dare to ask me your surname?"  You should tell the truth truthfully, otherwise it will only be embarrassing." The conversation changed and he said: "Young Master Zeng is a noble man, I dare not tarnish the name of Master Zeng with such common things as gold and silver, so I brought ten scrolls of famous paintings from the Tang and Song Dynasties from my hometown.  Master Zeng, please take a look at the 100 volumes of rare editions of the Song Dynasty." He stood up and took out a scroll from the desk, ready to unfold it for Zeng Yu to appreciate - Zeng Yu waved his hand and said, "That's all, I thought I could get to know an eminent scholar, but I was disappointed. I just found out today.  The poem is the voice of the heart, and the words are just like the words of the person." He cupped his hands and said, "Farewell." He turned around and left.  But he heard Fang Paoke saying loudly: "Wait a minute, I have one more thing to say." Zeng Yu thought to himself: "Has God's turn come?" He turned around and stared at the white robe.  Bai Paoke put away the scroll in his hand and looked at Zeng Yu. He suddenly smiled and said, "If Mr. Zeng doesn't want these calligraphy and painting ancient books, I will give you a thousand taels of silver as a gift." Zeng Yu laughed angrily and asked: "  Are there any beauties? Here are ten more stunning beauties. Xiaosheng can consider introducing Mr. Yan to you." He also became playful and disrespectful.  Unexpectedly, Bai Paoke also laughed loudly and said, "It seems that Mr. Zeng refused to accept bribes, so why did he join Fenyi Yan's family?" Zeng Yu said: "I just teach Mr. Yan calligraphy and painting, why do you do this?  People say that you are a member of the Yan family. " Bai Pao Ke said, "It sounds like Mr. Zeng is afraid of others saying that you are a member of the Yan family. Why is that? " Zeng Yu said: " Qing?  Those who are pure and those who are turbid are those who become turbid. I just happened to be a teacher in the Yan Mansion. This gentleman seems to have a very clear understanding of my past experiences. I don¡¯t think I need to explain more. I don¡¯t think I came here to get acquainted with Mr. Yan Shilang.  Why are you so deliberate?" Bai Paoke said with a smile: "I don't play the role of a briber who clings to the powerful. It's a pity that I can't observe with my own eyes what the officials who come in and out of Yan Mansion look like. I can't figure it out - please sit down.  Please sit down, now we can have a deep talk with Mr. Zeng." Zeng Yu sat down again and let's see what the white-robed man said.  Bai Paoke looked at Zeng Yu and said slowly: "My friend from Simingshan once praised Mr. Zeng's poems and paintings, and even appreciated Mr. Zeng's motivation and hard study. Today I know that Mr. Zeng has a better character. This is not a calligraphy and painting stereotype.  It's rare to do something as good as it is." When Zeng Yu heard this, he quickly stood up and said, "Mr.  Excuse me, please bow to Wansheng." The guest in white robe accepted Zeng Yu's bow and still invited Zeng Yu to sit down.  Zeng Yu said, "I haven't asked you about your surname yet." Bai Pao Ke smiled and said, "When Master Zeng sees Mr.  Okay, I¡¯ll ask again, Mr. Xie Zhen.Having traveled all over the world, he really couldn't guess which kind of immortal this Bai Pao Ke was. He just said: "I would like to listen to Sir's teachings." Bai Pao Ke said bluntly: "Yan Song and his son are domineering and domineering and harming the loyal and good, and they have reached the point of anger from heaven and people.  The north and the south are interfering with each other and the censors are impeaching each other. The end is not far away. Zeng has a young talent with a bright future. At this time, it is unwise to linger in Yan's house. " When Bai Pao Ke first met, he called Zeng Yu Zeng.  The young master, now called Zeng Sheng, obviously regards himself as a senior, and he is only ten years older than Zeng Yu. Mr. Xie Zhen and Xie Xie all call Zeng Yu his little friend, unlike Bai Paoke who is so patronizing.  Zeng Yu was too lazy to explain. He expected that Bai Paoke's pretentiousness was not just to teach him a lesson. He must have something else to say, so he said sincerely: "Sir, the lesson is correct. Wansheng was also reminded when he visited Huang Tixue earlier.  He will leave later in life." This is indeed his plan. No matter whether he is Chinese or not, he will no longer be a teacher in the Yan family. It is time to leave.  But Bai Pao Ke asked: "Since you know that Yan's house is dirty, why don't you go to the inn and wait until after the provincial examination?" Zeng Yu said: "The Yan family's residence in Nanchang is clean and has a rich collection of books. It is just a good time to study and prepare for the exam." Bai Pao Ke scolded: "  Zeng Sheng is still greedy. Living with evil people is like entering an abalone house and not smelling the smell for a long time. Zeng Sheng should leave as soon as possible. " Zeng Yu didn't take Bai Paoke's words seriously. Yan Song and his son were in Shilin.  Although the reputation in Fenyi is low, in the eyes of the people of Fenyi, he is a wise man who has benefited the hometown. The Yan clan rarely intrudes the villagers in Fenyi and has a good reputation. This is what Zeng Yu has seen personally, and Yan Shifang even more  It is like a gentleman and an elder. There is an abalone restaurant. Baipaoke's words are obviously excessive.  Zeng Yu said: "Sir, I don't know. I don't dare to comment on the conduct of father and son Yan Ge. However, his eldest son, Yan Shaoqing, is only sixteen years old. He is considered gentle and simple. Otherwise, he would not be his teacher if he were born late."  The guest raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Old thief Yan and his son have done many evil things, which will bring disaster to their descendants. How can such a family have any good children!" Zeng Yu was a little impatient and thought about what this man wanted to do.  , what kind of feud did he have with Yan Song and Yan Shifan? He was gnashing his teeth like this and remained silent at the moment to show his disapproval.  Bai Paoke suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a calm tone: "Zeng Sheng, I have copies of the memorials from various departments and censors impeaching the old thief Yan and his son. You can take a look first." Zeng Yuxin said:  "Has the offensive started?" He took the stack of papers handed over by Bai Pao Ke and looked through them one by one. First, "Treacherous ministers deceive the emperor and stupid country": "¡ª¡ªSongzi Shifan relied on his power and was insatiable.  , privately specializes in honors and rewards, and generous gifts. Every time he is selected, he will judge the official's level and underestimate his value; when he is promoted, he will regard the lack of good and bad qualities and increase his value. As a result, the selection method is very bad.  The market is fair, and ugly people compete with each other, so the price they ask for becomes huge. For example, if the Ministry of Punishment is responsible for ruling the Yuan Dynasty, it will be transferred to the Ministry of Officials for 12,000 gold.  There were no less than ten people who worked on the joints, among which Yizi Jinyiwei Yan Hu, Zhongshu Yan Hong, family slave Yan Nian, and Zhongshu Luo Longwen were the most important. Among them, Yan Nian was especially cunning, and Shifan entrusted him with his heart.  Among the officials and nobles who came from the world, one of the ten men who were not talented would compete to be flattered, and they would call him Mr. Caishan, but they would not dare to name him.  The father and son were originally from Yuanzhou, Jiangxi Province. They built good land and beautiful houses in Nanjing, Yangzhou and other places. They did not care about dozens of houses. However, they used the evil servant Yan Dong to take charge of them and invaded them. Their parents did everything they could to harm them, and the people there were deeply resentful.  In the past years, Shifan suffered the death of his mother. Although Shifan was known as a man of worry, he was actually enjoying the feast with his guests, and his concubines danced and sang all day long.  When my grandmother died, I had some strange goods to help Zi return to the south. I wanted to find hundreds of ways to go back and forth. All the commanderies looked at the wind and the city was deserted. Today there are frequent floods and droughts. There are many policemen in the north and south, and the people are poor and poor.  There is no one who can be caught off guard, because the father and son of the world are greedy and unbridled. They use bribes to get government affairs and bribe officials. All the small officials from all over the world must use up the people's support to pay for their own official fees. This is the case.  Will the people be in poverty? Will the country be safe? Will disasters come and go? I would like to behead the emperor as a warning to those who are unfaithful and unfilial!  If you dote on an evil son and indulge in power, you should urgently retire in order to clean up the government! If your ministers tell the truth and beg to be beheaded to express gratitude to Song and Shifan, please beg for your majesty's warning!" - There are also attacks on Yan Song and his son."  Destroy the laws of the ancestors, steal the power of the ruler, cover up the political achievements of the emperor, indulge in the larceny of adulterous sons, impersonate the military merits of the court, lead rebellious and traitorous ministers, interfere with the country's military opportunities, depose the great authority of the emperor, and lose the power of the world.  The people's hearts and the customs of the world are ruined." - Another person proposed Yan Song's ten major crimes: "Accepting bribes from generals to start provocations on the border is one of the crimes; accepting gifts from kings and causing the vassal to neglect his duties is the second crime.  ; Taking over the power of the official department and plundering the spoils. As for Yu Cheng's minor officials, nothing was left behind. Officials were often not established, and moral conduct was bad. This is the third crime. He sought care and follow the usual rules, and rushed to send letters to his door.  , so that there are divisions, andThe wealth of the surname is dwindling day by day, and the education is not good, which is the fourth sin; the Yin controls the Taoist officials, so that they dare not speak out, which is the fifth sin; the virtuous man is jealous of the capable, slanders the good people, and if he disobeys his intention, he will be squeezed to death.  Now, it is the sixth sin to cause people to lose their heart for the country; to allow their sons to receive wealth in order to grudge the world is the seventh sin; and the sun and the moon move the wealth and goods, disturb the roads, the people are destitute and the wealth is exhausted, and the vitality of the country is greatly depleted  ¡­¡± ¡­ Zeng Yu spent half an hour reading these memorials one by one. He knew that the great Mingyan officials often exaggerated when impeaching them. As for the article ¡°Deceiving the King and Stupid Country¡±, the Yan Song listed in it  The crimes committed by the father and son were relatively detailed, but in Zeng Yu¡¯s opinion, many officials would have committed the crimes, such as acquiring extensive land, taking concubines, accepting gifts and extorting bribes, being domineering slaves, etc. Imagine that a poor scholar only needs to be released as an official.  , within three years, he was well-dressed and well-off, and Ming Dynasty¡¯s official salary was notoriously meager. How could he afford such a splendid appearance without some gray income? How could he not be able to return home in fine clothes and honor his ancestors, how could he be worthy of years of hard study in a cold window? These things  It has become a common phenomenon in the officialdom, and a country with a monarchy and officialdom cannot eradicate this. But if officials collect and amplify it for impeachment, it will become a pile of crimes. Of course, Yan Song has been in power for many years.  In addition, because of his son Yan Shifan's arrogance and lewdness, the crimes were too concentrated and too prominent. It was inevitable that thousands of people would accuse him, and his downfall would be a matter of time. Zeng Yu just didn't understand what the white-robed guest was doing for such a scholar like him to see and say these things.  What? When Zeng Yu read the copy carefully, the white-robed man sat aside and drank tea. Seeing Zeng Yu finish reading the last one, he asked, "What do Zeng Sheng think after reading these?"  Zeng Yudao: "Wansheng is just a junior member. Emperor Gao's "Inscription on the Sleeping Tablet" also strictly prohibits students from discussing the government affairs. It is really embarrassing for Wansheng to ask such a question.  " Bai Paoke was obviously very dissatisfied with Zeng Yu's attitude, and muttered: "Forbidding members to discuss government affairs means publicly communicating and gathering people to publicize it. It's no harm to talk privately. If things are unfair, there will be controversy. Zeng Sheng read the books of sages and has nothing to do with it.  Is it the ambition to help the world?  " Baipaoke was a little aggressive, and Zeng Yu was also a little disgusted by his condescending attitude. He said calmly: "Since there are so many officials and censors impeaching each other, the downfall of the Yan family is just around the corner. I just don't know why Mr. Wansheng was called here.  Seeking advice?  " Bai Paoke suddenly remembered something, smiled with relief, and said: "I understand, Zeng Sheng has doubts about me. It is indeed inconvenient for me to reveal my identity now, but I and the old thief Yan Song are incompatible. My late father was tortured by Yan Song.  The father and son were harmed by thieves. Unless the thieves die, the country will never have peace.  Zeng Yu listened and said respectfully: "Sir, please tell me clearly what you have to say to Wansheng."  " Bai Paoke was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "The president of Jiangxi Daojinke is Tao Hanlin, did Zeng Sheng know?  Zeng Yu frowned slightly and thought to himself: "Huang Tixue only said that the Ci Linguan who came to Jiangxi to take the exam was either Zhu Dashou or Tao Dalin. I don't know exactly which one. This white-robed guest refers to Tao Hanlin. Sure enough, he has some skills.  ah.  " I only heard Bai Paoke say again: "This news will be confirmed in two days. Tao Hanlin is a pure and honest man, and he especially hates the Yan family's dictatorship. Zeng Sheng is also well-known now, and he is favored by Hu Budang.  Mr. Yan Ge, Tao Hanlin will not have heard everything -" When he said this, Bai Pao Ke's mouth evoked a meaningful smile. Zeng Yu, because this Bai Pao Ke claimed to be a friend of Mr. Xie Zhen, so  He had always been respectful on the surface, but when he heard that there was clearly a threat in Bai Paoke's words, and he described the military merit reward given to him by Hu Zongxian as a generous gift, he immediately became angry. He stood up and said, "Sir, I don't care about you if you are born later."  Is there any deep grudge against the Fenyi Yan family? Wansheng is just a scholar who studies for fame and does not want to participate in any court disputes. Wansheng does not have the ability. As for who the chief executive of Jiangxi Province is, it has nothing to do with Wansheng. The chief executive is selected by the court.  Scholars, based on eight-legged essays, if they control the provincial examination based on personal likes and dislikes, how can they have the face to accuse Yan and his son of being corrupt and perverting the law!  " He cupped his hands, said "goodbye", and strode away. He was no longer interested in listening to anything the white-robed man said. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª  ¡ª Merry Christmas to all my Christmas book friends! i1071
