April was supposed to be a good time for the garden to be filled with fragrance. But at noon, it suddenly drizzled and brought cold wind, blowing on people, and there was a bone-permeable coldness that was out of season.
There are five days left, which is the day of the palace examination.
Just after seeing off the two elders Li Huang, Ye Junsheng sat back into the study and listened to the sound of wind and rain outside, and his heart was as calm as the sea.
Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi came here specially and had something to tell him, so they came to talk to Ye Junsheng about how to deal with the palace examination.
Strictly speaking, Ye Junsheng is not truly affiliated with the Second Prince's camp so far. However, in Zhao Kuangqi's view, he has regarded Ye Junsheng as a potential rookie talent for the Second Prince.
There is no way to distinguish this matter, and there is no need.
When Zhao Kuangqi was quite afraid of Ye Junsheng and said that he was a thorn in his eyes. Now, he is in the Golden Palace and looks down on the people of the world, while Ye Junsheng is a scholar and a candidate, bowing to the front. The two of them are the lord and the other are the ministers.
"If the king wants his minister to die, his minister must die." It has always been a political outline.
So, what about Zhao Kuangqi asking Ye Jun to live and die?
This is the problem that Li Yifeng and others are most worried about.
Ye Junsheng's personality is quite strange, but it is undeniable at all, and he is unwilling to suffer losses. Anyway, even though he has experienced many storms since we met, he has never seen Ye Junsheng suffer truly.
But this time it is different, very different. What we have to face is not ordinary people or ordinary officials, but the supreme ruler of the entire empire: the king.
Not to mention Ye Junsheng, even Li Huang and others now feel the threat of death. It can be expected that in the near future, when the purge is launched, all the people of the Second Prince will have to bear extremely severe tests and pressure.
Li Yifeng and the others are not afraid of death. As scholars who have been familiar with the books of sages since childhood, they have their own backbone of being unbending.
While talking, Ye Junsheng also reminded him that the two elders should temporarily retire and return home and leave the whirlpool of the capital, but the other party refused.
Huang Yuanqi made a sound: "The emperor was critically ill, and the new king couldn't wait to reject dissidents and started killing. This is a sign of great danger, which can be said to be a national crisis. In the face of national crisis, how can I seek good fortune and avoid harm and protect myself?"
Li Yifeng echoed: "We read the books of sages and wise men to educate benevolence and righteousness. But when the country is in trouble, we run away in panic. What do people in the world think about it? From then on, for a hundred years, will the education be there?"
Ye Junsheng understood what they meant was to stay in the capital and do their best to help restore the situation and set an example.
Such behavior is stubborn and respectable.
It’s like a teacher in class, teaching students to sacrifice themselves all day long, but when a disaster occurs, they run faster than anyone else.
Can such a teacher still teach people in the future? Even if you teach people, students may not believe in it anymore.
In a nutshell: be a role model for others.
Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi are two great Confucian celebrities, with a grand reputation and a huge number of students all over the world. They will set an example in front of the world.
Even the price paid is death.
Ye Junsheng couldn't help but think of the few suicide notes in history: Kong said Chengren, Meng said to be righteous; only if the righteousness is complete, benevolence is attained; what is the matter of reading the books of sages? Now, I will be almost ashamed.
He was so excited that he immediately spread out the four treasures of the study, twisted up the thickest wolf hair, and dipped it ink and wrote it quickly.
After a moment, the thirty-two big characters were written one by one and divided into four banners. But it looked like they were integrated, with a refreshing brushwork and a different kind of flowing spirit.
In the Qiankun space, the Pig Demon and the Great Saint were aware of it and watched through the open forbidden formation.
The pig demon stuck out his tongue and suddenly said, "The word "Master" is like a needle and a ray of light. When I look here, I feel a tingling feeling. The two fight against each other."
The Great Sage's eyes were deep: "It seems that the master is going to take serious action this time."
The pig demon's eyes showed fierce light: "I don't know when we can show our skills. We are stuck here all day and we are about to get moldy."
The Great Sage refused to comment and suddenly asked: "Hanghuo, how have you practiced the transportation technique?"
The pig demon immediately said hey, and hey, he realized that he was lazy again after seeing it.
The Great Sage said with a grudge: "If you can get a good deal, the master will be a god with three yuan. There must be a big deal to do. If you want to help, you have to improve your strength. Otherwise, you can only be an audience at that time, what's the use?"
The pig demon blushed: "I'll practice now..."
Ye Junsheng was quite satisfied with the four characters he wrote. When the ink was dry, he carefully rolled it up and handed it to the housekeeper Lao Zhong, and told him to go out and find a good shop and frame it.
By using the writing to express the emotions through writing and writing, the mood improved greatly.
Sitting back on the chair, taking a sip of tea, I remembered what Li Yifeng said, and asked myself to find Zhao Emei.
Having said that, Ye Junsheng did not have such a plan. First, he did not reach that point at all. Second, he didn't even know whether Zhao Emei was still in the capital at this time. Even if he was there, he was still in the palace, so how could he find someone? Before, Zhao Emei took the initiative to find him.
At this time, Ye Junmei knocked in the door and looked a little gloomy.
Ye Junsheng asked: "Junmei, what's wrong?"
Ye Junmei said: "Brother, is the situation very unfavorable now? I heard Mr. Li and the others, and it seems to be very bad."
Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay if you have your brother here."
Ye Junmei clenched her fist and said, "Brother, Junmei is different now than before, I can help."
Ye Junsheng smiled: "Of course... but don't worry, although the situation has changed, I'm not a vegetarian, brother, right?"
Ye Junmei said, "Brother, why don't we go to the top scorer exam? I'm just afraid that you will be in the Golden Palace, and then the prince will use conspiracy to deal with you."
Ye Junsheng shook his head: "Many people hope I won't go, but there are some roads that must be taken. Just wait for good news from your brother at home, remember to make the steamed fish that your brother likes to eat."
Ye Junmei was silent. She knew that the things her brother decided were difficult to change, and she would not easily regress.
The rain fell, lingering and endless, without stopping. The climate turned cold, but it was a bit like the twelfth lunar month.
The situation in the capital is deteriorating further, and news is circulating. Today, it is about a certain official being imprisoned, and tomorrow it is about a certain minister being dismissed, and he was exiled to a distant place.
These officials, without exception, are all from the second prince Zhao Kuangming.
Although Zhao Kuangming tried his best to run and move, the results were very little. The emperor was sick and blind, and he fell asleep all day long and was not allowed to see anyone at any time. The entire Forbidden City was controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as an iron bucket.
I wanted to follow Zhao Emei's path, but clinker was as early as the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, so she followed her master to leave the capital, and probably would have returned to Mount Emei long ago.
Many people know that after the palace examination, the final liquidation will be the final settlement. Internal and external difficulties are difficult, and Zhao Kuangming is unable to turn the world back. (To be continued. Please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
