Chapter 137: Three Gus That Cottage

Speaking of which, Master Jin, who was beside the governor, rushed to the Hanjiang Guild Hall excitedly, but was turned away. The shopkeeper told him with a frown, saying that because Tang Shiyan was so disturbed that he went to Jingjue Temple outside the city to practice Zen in the past few days, and it would take a few days before he would come back.

"The great sage is indeed indifferent to fame and fortune, and Yunshen doesn't know where to go." Master Jin praised instead. He was not angry, as if he had expected this to be the result, and he rewarded the shopkeeper with some money and went there.

Tang Shiyan has caused a big storm in the small circle of high-level provincial capital these days. The article is thought-provoking, as if it contains the truth, and is of great guiding significance for the taxation of land and acres. Many people in the government are interested in getting in touch with Mr. Tang.

Unfortunately, Mr. Tang doesn't seem to be a young man who is just a young man. He can just say a few good words and pretend to be respectful and polite, so that he can follow him wholeheartedly.

Today, Tang Shiyan avoided him, but Shi Ye Jin felt that there was a door. He went back to the yamen of the governor, and did not need to inform him. He went directly into the yamen to meet Pan Jingwen, the governor of the Dinghu Provincial Government.

It is said that in order to balance power in various provinces, the imperial court established three yamen, including the General Administration Commission, the Censorate and the Command Commission. The General Administration Commission ranked first and the most important position, and was respected as Fantai, also known as Fang Bo.

However, in order to strengthen unified management, the three departments established a governor, and the imperial court sent people to serve as the position. However, the position of the governor was still important, and he was responsible for the specific affairs of money, grain and civil affairs in the province. He was the first person under the border officials.

Pan Fantai, a 50-year-old from Dinghu Province, was very energetic. Although there were white hair on his temples, it was not obvious. He had a huge earlobe, and he was quite blessed. At this time, he was wearing casual clothes and reading glasses and reading an article. When he saw Master Jin coming in, he put down the article and asked in a deep voice: "How?"

The two of them have been in a tacit understanding for many years, and they can understand what they think without much explanation. Master Jin shook his head and smiled and said, "I haven't seen you today. I said I've gone out of the city to practice Zen. I don't know when I will come back."

Pan Fantai frowned and said, "This person is arrogant. Could it be that someone has successfully recruited him before?" The trusted master around him posted a post to see him, which itself showed the attitude of the governor. Tang Shiyan could not understand it. If he still avoided him, there must be a reason.

Master Jin smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry too much. In Dinghu Province, who else can use him besides adults? According to the students, it is just a literati's temper. When Tang Shiyan left Jiangzhou in disgrace, he made a comeback this time, and he must have some face."

In the view of Mr. Jin, the governor was in charge of the civil affairs of a province, while Mr. Tang became famous in terms of economic and livelihood. Therefore, if you think it is very useful, you still have to rely on Pan Fantai's disciple.

From another perspective, Tang Shiyan's attitude towards such a master is actually a signal that he can recruit. In just a few days, Master Jin had naturally found out about Tang Shiyan's background.

This person was full of energy at the beginning. Unfortunately, he came to the provincial capital to take the exam three times, but he failed. He was also rejected by the talent circle in the provincial capital headed by Li Xin, and then returned to the Han River unhappily.

If he had no resentment in his heart, Master Jin would never believe it. He consciously had an extremely accurate grasp of the thoughts of literati. If Tang Shiyan did not let this tone go smoothly, he would not do his best.

"This is simple." Pan Fantai thought for a while and said, "He is just fighting for a leisurely breath. It would be better to find an opportunity. I would like to visit him in person, which would be enough to give him face.

Ye Xingyuan was a little troublesome when he was walking with him. After all, the article was written by this young man. Although it was often done by his seniority and was not something that a young man could speak, it must have been taught to him by Tang Shiyan. But this also shows that Tang Shiyan and Ye Xingyuan must have a close relationship."

Everyone knows that the article "Shizuo" was written by Ye Xingyuan, but this person is young after all, and before writing, he was taught by Tang Shiyan to have this article. After reading the content, most people believed that what he was telling the truth.

A 16 or 17-year-old boy definitely does not have such extensive experiences, nor will he write something that explains specific affairs in this way and then causes profound meanings. This is not something that a genius can explain.

But Ye Xingyuan was an embarrassing figure who was disliked by the officialdom of Dinghu Province. The incident of expelling Zhou had just come to an end. The Censor-in-Civilian, the Censor, returned from Guiyang County in a dilemma. It was said that it was the boy who was punished.

The identity of Zhou Zhixian's monster was revealed, and the censors were all killed. Fan Qianshi was dismissed from office, the censors were demoted, and the governors were also implicated and were scolded by the court.

Fortunately, seeing that the political enemy's censor was demoted, Lord Pan did not hold any deep grudge against Ye Xingyuan, but according to official customs, he could not get too close to this person.

But Lord Pan doesn’t understand. Who is such a talented person like Tang Shiyan, so he wants to make friends with this young man?

Master Jin laughed and persuaded, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this. Ye Xingyuan's poems are amazing. Nine poems move the Han River and are recommended as the first in the Han River Mansion. Since Tang Shiyan was originally known as the leader of the four great talents, it is normal for him to have a good relationship. If you want to see Tang Shiyan in person, you only avoid Ye Xingyuan and ignore him. Anyway, who will gossip in the provincial capital?"

Lord Pan thought so. If he went to the Hanjiang Guild Hall in person to meet Tang Shiyan, everyone knew that he was a polite and noble man. No one would say that he deliberately made friends with Ye Xingyuan. This was nothing to do.

Even if Lord Pan really wants to use Ye Xingyuan to deal with political enemies, he only needs to send someone to summon him, and there is no need to mobilize troops.

So he made up his mind and said, "Since that's the case, then when Tang Shiyan comes back, I will go and see him in person!"

Then Pan Fantai gently fumbled the handwriting on the article with his fingers and sighed: "If such a talent cannot serve the court and alleviate the dilemma in the province, we will be tragic!"

A few days later, Master Jin heard that Tang Shiyan had returned from Jingjue Temple to practice Zen, so he hurriedly reported to Pan Fantai. Lord Pan was light and went to the Hanjiang Guild Hall to meet Tang Shiyan without any ceremonial guards.

Unexpectedly, he was not there again. Tang Shiyan and Ye Xingyuan were not there, and even the shopkeeper was accompanied. There was only a stupid guy cleaning the hall. Seeing that it was the governor who was lightly chariot, he didn't know anything, so he said lightly: "Grandpa Tang and Grandpa Ye made an appointment with friends and went to Yaji. Maybe he would go back after dinner, but if you had a good time drinking, I'm afraid there would be some at midnight."

Master Jin was shocked. When he came, the other party dared to leave without hesitation. That would be fine. Now that the vassal state has arrived, Tang Shiyan still dares to leave? This is such an amazing talent! If he had no confidence in the sky, how could he dare to act like this?

He whispered to Fantai and said, "It seems that this person is willing to hide. You don't have to worry. You will come again next time."

Pan Fantai nodded, and he said to the clerk with a good look, "Then please tell Mr. Tang, and he will be awarded the title of Chief Executive Officer and the title of Minister of the Dinghu Province. Pan Jingwen, the governor of Dinghu Province, will come to pay his respects. The gentleman is not here, and he will come to visit him again next day."

The guy said in a daze: "I can't remember these many names." Master Jin said in anger and funny way: "You said it was Pan Fantai who came."

This guy is a rough man, and it is useless to talk to him too much. Lord Pan and Master Jin returned together. He sighed that it is rare to meet a great wise man and a good talent.

At night, Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan came back. After hearing the comments from the guy, Tang Shiyan was so scared that she sweated heavily and almost couldn't stand steadily. Ye Xingyuan smiled and didn't care.

A few days later, Pan Fantai rose and brought Master Jin to the Hanjiang Guild Hall. That day, the guy happened to be at the door. When he saw them, he was overjoyed: "Master Fantai, it's a coincidence today. Mr. Jin is in the Guild Hall!"

Pan Fantai and Master Jin laughed at each other, and after a few trips, they finally got a result. They were all in their clothes and walked into the atrium of the guild hall, but saw a young man coming out hurriedly, saying nothing but panic.

Pan Fantai was stunned. He heard that Tang Shiyan was already thirty-six or seven years old. How could he be so young? I'm afraid he's getting it wrong?

But I heard the young man say with fear and fear: "The adults came to the hall in person, and the student Ye Xingyuan was extremely frightened. Only today, Senior Tang went out to visit friends. But he was so tired that he went for nothing."

Of course, Ye Xingyuan was the one who spoke. When he heard that Pan Fantai was coming, he immediately sent Tang Shiyan out. Tang Shiyan was now numb, so he followed Ye Xingyuan's advice and dragged his soft legs to the market to go shopping. Where was the visiting friend?

Master Jin heard that the person in front of him was Ye Xingyuan, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances. The young man became famous and was not a thing in the pool. Unfortunately, he was very sensitive and had no contact with him.

When I saw him today, he was indeed a handsome figure and could be called a handsome figure. And on the surface, there was no crazy appearance, and it seemed that all kinds of rumors were not worthy of relying on.

Pan Fantai was a little excited. He came twice but didn't meet him twice, so his patience was limited. Moreover, Ye Xingyuan was really a thorny figure that he couldn't touch, so he was too lazy to say more, so he turned around and left, saying, "Since Mr. Tang is not here, the official will come again another day."

Ye Xingyuan watched the two of them leave and felt a lot more certain. Judging from today's situation, although the governor, as the provincial civil affairs officer, did not have any good feelings for him, he did not have much hatred for him, and he was just too lazy to pay attention to him.

This is not a bad thing. It is better than that everyone in the provincial capital hates themselves to the core. Or it can be explained that the inspector was severely punished, so Lord Pan of the vassal state was not so angry, and he was even a little happy to see it happening?

When Tang Shiyan came back, Ye Xingyuan told him seriously, "You can meet him next time the vassal state comes. Have you memorized the Thirteenth chapter of Yuan Fu before?"

It would be too early to have a complete understanding and experience of Tang Shiyan, but rote memorization is not difficult. After all, he is also an old talented man in his thirties, and he can't do anything else, but he can always pretend to behave with materials.

Tang Shiyan hesitated with a bitter face and said, "I have memorized it well. I am just facing the vassal state of a province. I have no idea."

Speaking of which, he is not afraid of heaven or earth, and is a talented man who laughs at the king and prince, but when he really sees a big man, he is still a little strange. In fact, the key is that this is not the romance that Tang Shiyan is good at, but something he didn't understand at all before, and he must be guilty.

Ye Xingyuan was helpless and could only point out the details one by one, asking him to follow his actions, and there should be no deviation from his words to his behavior. Tang Shiyan was incredible to hear it, but because of his complete trust in Ye Xingyuan, he had the courage to execute it.

So when Pan Fantai came again, Tang Shiyan was indeed at home, but he did not come out to greet him according to Ye Xingyuan's instructions, but instead tossed and turned on the big bed in the inner room to pretend to be asleep.

The careless guy took Ye Xingyuan's money, stood at the door, and replied to Pan Fantai with a tough nap: "Mr. Tang is taking a nap. You must not wake him up at this time. Please wait for a moment."
