Chapter 99 The Way is Different
Ye Xingyuan saw it and could only secretly sigh that this was the reason why the three monks had no food. At this time, everyone was shrinking back, thinking that there would always be someone else who would stand up, but everyone was united and the scene became colder.
For Senior Ouyang, the leader of the alliance, this cannon was silenced, which would be too frustrating. If this continues, I am afraid that the gathering of Zhou will become a joke. There is not even a person who dares to face Zhou Zhixian County, so why should I talk about driving Zhou?
"A gentleman dies and his confidant, he takes his sword out of Yanjing!" Just as Wanma Qi An, Ye Xingyuan chanted loudly and stepped forward with a high voice. He laughed and said, "Senior Ouyang, since no one dares to go, then let me go!"
After doing this, how could it be possible to stop? Ye Xingyuan was so proud that he formed a sharp contrast with others avoiding him.
Ye Xingyuan seemed to feel that there was a secret to guide him to do something. He didn't know if others felt this way, but he realized that his feelings were not an illusion.
Maybe it was because of my words and deeds that I used spiritual power without realizing it, but it was touched by Tianji. Tianji in turn gave me some guidance? This feeling is very mysterious. Could it be the "resonance of heaven and man" mentioned by the saint?
Juren Ouyang was a little hesitant. He had really treated Ye Xingyuan as his nephew and was even more optimistic about his future. He didn't want Ye Xingyuan to do such a hatred. But now there are no other volunteer candidates, so what can he do?
Ye Xingyuan saw Ouyang Juren’s concerns, took the petition from him, and lowered his voice: “Don’t do it, and never stop. Now, can I still retreat if I take advantage of the situation?”
Juren Ouyang suddenly realized that what Ye Xingyuan said was reasonable. Others might be able to get away with it. With Ye Xingyuan's appearance today, he was probably on the blacklist of the county government. Compared with this, going to the county government to submit a letter is nothing.
The only thing to be wary of is County Magistrate Zhou's attack - I don't understand why Wang Juren died here. Someone just shrank, and to a large extent he was worried about life safety.
Ouyang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You must be careful when you go here. Zhouxianzun is very treacherous and deceitful. Be careful not to be fooled by him. If there is anything strange, you can quickly get out."
Ye Xingyuan also instructed: "You will be able to do it later. Seniors must be careful here. Apart from preparing for the funeral of Senior Wang, don't make any more troubles and pay attention to Juren Ding." The only one who can make trouble for Juren Ouyang is the only one who can make trouble for Juren.
Ouyang Lin nodded and said yes, obeying Ye Xingyuan's advice. Ye Xingyuan took the petition and bid farewell to everyone. The white clothes were as good as snow and drifted away.
Unfortunately, "The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the hero will never return once he leaves." It is really not auspicious, otherwise he would have chosen this sentence to sing it. However, as a poetic demon, you can always find one and a half sentence of this kind of final poem when necessary.
"Now I'm so proud of Xiangru in Mianchi!" Ye Xingyuan's back disappeared from the mountain road, leaving only two sentences echoing in everyone's ears. The young scholars all looked ashamed and bowed their heads without saying a word.
Ye Xingyuan went down the mountain without stopping and entered the county town. He only arrived at the county government office in the evening and sent a letter to meet Zhou Zhixian County.
Now the county town is in panic. The yamen runners on duty know that all the gentry in the county are gathering to make trouble, and they stayed at the county government almost day and night. Seeing a scholar coming to the door and knowing that the matter was coming, they dared not be negligent, so they hurriedly informed him.
But in a moment, Huang Dianli walked out with a gloomy face and looked at Ye Xingyuan and sneered, "Grandpa Ye, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
When he saw Ye Xingyuan in Ouyang Juren's mansion the day before yesterday, he expected that this person would cause trouble and immediately reported to Zhou Zhixian County. Zhou Zhixian had a deep impression of Ye Xingyuan. Now he still remembered the Xiongwen during the county examination. When he recalled, his hair was still standing on his hair.
This person was expected to pass the scholar exam by Zhou Zhixian County. He had a good fortune and came back at this time and must have achieved fame. Sure enough, the list of the prefecture examinations was posted to the county government office, and Ye Xingyuan was the first case leader again, and Huang Dianli couldn't help but be shocked.
At this time, the county magistrate Zhou and Huang Dianli were discussing countermeasures in the yamen. Unexpectedly, a disciple reported that Ye Xingyuan came to submit a letter on behalf of the gentry in the county. Zhou Zhixian felt a little moved and ordered: "Correspondent Huang, go and welcome him in."
Huang Dianli was also a person who was old and could be called Zhou Zhixian’s confidant. When he heard the word “Wing” in Zhou Zhixian’s mouth, the magistrate’s thoughts were in his heart. Although he was jealous of Ye Xingyuan, he had no choice but to go out and invite him.
Ye Xingyuan heard his voice call him husband and knew that the story of his scholar had been spread to the county, so he didn't have to worry about explaining it.
He nodded expressionlessly and said, "Miss Ouyang's debate will be sent to the yamen in a few days! But today I am here to represent the gentry of Guiyang County. Do you want to stop me here?"
Ye Xingyuan's identity has now risen and his position is hostile, so he naturally speaks without hesitation and directly scolds Huang Dianli as his surname.
Huang Dianli could only bear it for the time being, gritted his teeth and said, "You follow me into the yamen, don't let the county master wait for a long time."
When he arrived at the back hall, Ye Xingyuan saw Zhou Zhixian wearing only regular clothes and sitting in the middle, with an old god on his face and no worries. Such a big thing happened in the county, Zhou Zhixian could still be calm and relaxed. This skill of qi cultivation is indeed possible.
Compared with him, Ouyang Juren is a little worse. His origin as a Jinshi is not simple after all! Ye Xingyuan sighed in his heart and went forward to greet him.
Zhou Zhixian opened his eyes slightly and said calmly: "I received a reward from the Mansion City yesterday. I said that you won the first scholar in the Encyclopedia. I am very happy for you. I didn't expect you to visit today. It was a coincidence that I didn't know what the Mansion had tried?"
He knew that Ye Xingyuan was a gentry in the county to submit a letter, but he was not in a hurry to ask about his purpose, and he just talked about family matters. Ye Xingyuan was not in a hurry, but he only answered with respect and had no restraint at all, but he was not in a hurry to express his attitude.
Huang Dianli was listening to the two of them's answers, and couldn't help but feel a cold sweat. It would be fine for Zhou Zhixian County to follow the county master for two years and knew that he was very cunning. But Ye Xingyuan was so calm at such a young age.
The county was already in a tense situation, but the two seemed to be fine. If they didn't understand the background, they would just think that Ye Xingyuan had won the first scholar in the case and came back to visit the magistrate.
After chatting for more than a dozen words, Zhou Zhixian stopped feeling and his eyes were circling on Ye Xingyuan, and suddenly changed the topic, "You are young and talented, you will be a guest at Qionglin Banquet in less than three years. The matter in the county has little to do with you, and I will be transferred when I am full of my responsibilities.
When you come back from retirement, Guiyang County has already changed the world and world. Why do you have to flow into this muddy water? I heard that you first advocated the "Driving Zhou" in Shantou Village. It turns out that the younger generation is terrifying."
He said calmly, and he was not angry when talking about the matter of driving Zhou. He just stared at Ye Xingyuan with aggressive eyes. Ye Xingyuan said freely and casually: "Don't be surprised by the county lord, it's really an arrow that has to be heard on the string."
Ye Xingyuan also understood what Zhou Zhixian said. At his age, if he could pass the exam all the way, he would be appointed as an official in the capital and would not return to the local area. His parents both died and he was not very close to the Ye clan. He had only one sister. If he had been traveling for decades and did not return to his hometown, there would be no need to have conflicts with Zhou Zhixian for this.
But Ye Xingyuan's words made Zhou Zhixian a little puzzled, "Oh? What does this mean? I hope to hear it carefully."
Ye Xingyuan sighed and said, "I sigh to cover my tears, mourning the hardships of people's livelihood. The villagers and the elders are eager to be kind. I am not clay sculptures and wood sculptures, so it is difficult to ignore them. I only feel that my breath is blocked and I don't vomit.
The county magistrates the rules for rainwater, perhaps it is a good intention. However, if I do it harshly and lose the kindness and forgiveness of the saint, it will become a decree to harm the people. The gentry in this county comes from the people, and the destiny of heaven grants the morality of protecting the place. Although I am young, I dare not fall behind."
No matter how far Ye Xing went, he was a born in Guiyang County, and this is his foundation. Since he came back and sought the way for people's livelihood, he would naturally be connected with the local gentry. This is the arrow on the string. As for the words to drive Zhou, it is just a natural product.
Zhou Zhixian's eyes flashed and he pondered for a moment: "It makes sense to put people first and be equal and wealthy, but it is all those old Dongbai who cannot pass the exam.
You are a smart person and your official does not go around in circles. If you pass the Jinshi in the future, you will be a member of our generation, and the principles of your behavior should be very different from this.
The morality we seek is the order of the court. As long as we make political achievements to the superiors and suppress criticism from the subordinates, it is the best strategy. If you aspire to be an official, how can you not understand the truth?"
When Ye Xingyuan had some insights before, he knew where this principle was. The saint intercepted the way of heaven and turned it into the secrets of heaven that scholars could borrow. The secrets of heaven are maintained and consolidated by the destiny of heaven, and the royal family is the representative of the destiny of heaven.
After all, the current imperial examination official system is derived from the destiny downward, and the supernatural powers are granted by destiny. It is inevitable that some officials are superstitious about destiny and are focused on it. This is no different from those crazy believers under the system of divine grace.
