Upstairs in the Mingyu Tower, the ground dragon burns as warm as spring. In the breathable window, the cold wind prompts the warm jade to sing softly, making it elegant, peaceful, warm and comfortable.
Xia Jingyun frowned, and he understood what the old professor had not said out of concern for his face.
Along with this news, there must have been some not very friendly, even sarcastic words.
He could even think of those words, such as "the toad wants to eat the swan's meat", "it's just a canary in the harem, we scholars are not used to it", "what is a laughing stock, this is a laughing stock", "what a joke" I have become a person.”
If it's not handled well, what was originally an attempt to use the reputation of a top scholar to add leverage to oneself will turn into a suicide attempt.
As soon as he thought of this, he started to worry about it. He looked at the old professor and said, "Sir, is it difficult to invite these three great scholars?"
The old professor said with a "You're not talking nonsense" expression, "You, Mr. Bai, and the people who came to Beijing to take the exam are all Juzi, but you also know that there is a difference between Juzi and Juzi. The same is true between great Confucians and great Confucians. I put the title of "I" outside, and when others call me a great Confucian, I can bear it with my chest raised, but compared with these three, it is a thousand miles away."
The old professor then introduced him.
These three people are all top scholars in Daxia:
One is named Nan Zhengli, also known as Linxi Jushi;
One is named Sang Musheng, also known as Wan Lin Jushi;
One is Dong Weixue, also known as Kongbi Jushi;
The knowledge of the three of them is only slightly inferior to Mr. Guanlu who taught Su Shidao and Mr. Yun back then;
What's more important is that as you get older and have higher seniority, your prestige will naturally increase.
Now all three of them live in seclusion on Tushan Mountain on the outskirts of the city, and are known as the Three Masters of Tushan.
The old professor sighed, "These three can be called the leading figures in today's literary world. No matter who becomes the mentor of any young master, he will bring endless prestige in the literary world, but"
He looked at Xia Jingyun, "If it doesn't work, I'm afraid that someone will make a fuss about it and it will ruin things!"
As an outsider, the old professor had a simple acquaintance with Xia Jingyun. He loved his talent and hoped that he would be transferred to the Imperial College after he failed. For this reason, it was enough.
Xia Jingyun naturally understood this truth and thanked him: "Thank you sir for your advice. I wonder if you can tell me about the situation of these three gentlemen?"
Seeing the old professor's hesitation, Xia Jingyun said decisively: "I am also a member of the literary world. It doesn't matter whether I am a teacher or not. The main thing is to admire the style of my predecessors!"
The old professor smiled and did not refuse.
About half an hour later, everyone who was full of wine and food walked out of Mingyu Tower.
The old professor refused the invitation to ride in the carriage and said with a smile: "Gluttonous and excessive, I made two mistakes in a row tonight. I should walk to eat, otherwise how can I sleep peacefully."
Xia Jingyun escorted him all the way to the mansion, then said goodbye and returned to the mansion.
After entering the mansion, Bai Yunbian went straight back to his yard. Now that spring was approaching, he didn't have as many troubles as Xia Jingyun, so he naturally had to focus on studying and studying.
Xia Jingyun directly invited Feng Xiuyun to the study.
Looking at Feng Xiuyun, he went straight to the point, "What happened to my sister?"
Feng Xiuyun's beautiful and cold face showed a bit of panic, but she quickly regained her composure and asked tentatively: "Do you know?"
Xia Jingyun didn't speak, just looked at her.
Feng Xiuyun had no choice but to sigh, "Empress said that this time she thought too simply and acted recklessly, which caused such trouble. You have been so busy and helped solve so many problems. We have to prepare for spring, and she will bother you no matter how good she is, so she strictly ordered not to tell you, and she is trying to figure it out!"
"This is the time to talk about this kind of thing!"
Xia Jingyun rubbed his eyebrows, "Tell me, the cause and effect, what happened?"
"When you wrote that article in Sishui Prefecture, you should worry about the world first, and rejoice after the world is happy. His Majesty greatly appreciated it. Then thinking of your contribution in the process of suppressing the rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, he wanted to give you a Lord's Award. , but the empress knows very well that you want to follow the path of a scholar, and this kind of title is not only useless to you, but will also cause you to be exposed to rumors for nothing, so she declined."
"Your Majesty was very pleased and proposed that the Prince of Jiaodong County should be taught by a famous teacher when he is six years old. He allowed the Queen to choose his teacher and he would make the arrangements. The Queen then selected any of these three gentlemen. However, after informing His Majesty, His Majesty just asked the Empress to ask first. The Empress loved her son very much and knew the seriousness of the matter. Without thinking much, she sent people to climb the mountain to ask for permission. As a result, they were blocked at Tushan Mountain three times in a row. Then I knew there was trouble."
After Feng Xiuyun frowned, Xia Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's it, it's not a big problem."
"Isn't this a big problem? As a woman, I know that if this matter cannot be resolved, I'm afraid..."
Feng Xiuyun hurriedly retorted, but in the middle of the sentence, she suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "You have another idea?"
Xia Jingyun shook his head, "I'm not a god. I can do anything. I just think I can give it a try."
When Feng Xiuyun heard this, her expression became gloomy and worried again.
That's right, he is not a god, how could he find a solution so quickly.
——
In Zhaoyang Palace, Concubine Shu was sitting by the bed, wearing a bright and alluring long skirt. Her plump buttocks were fully exposed under the light. The skirt of her dress was swollen into two heavy and seductive curves. There were also slits in the corners of the skirt. You can see the whiteness of snow, extending all the way to the depths that only exist in your imagination.
On the red lips, the delicate nose was slightly wrinkled, blending with the eyebrows, looking quite angry.
Because His Majesty did not stay overnight in Zhaoyang Palace.
Although His Majesty did not stay overnight in Changle Palace, it did not prevent her from settling this debt on Concubine De.
"Empress!"
A female official from Shang Gongtai walked in quickly. Looking at Empress Shu Fei who was still sulking with her already swollen breasts, she said excitedly: "Empress, I just got some news."
Concubine Shu said coldly: "If it's not the news that that bitch, Concubine De, has passed away, don't tell her!"
Maid of Honor:.
"Okay, let's talk." Concubine Shu vented and returned to normal.
"There are rumors that Concubine De wanted to hire a teacher for the King of Jiaodong County, and she asked the three heroes of Tushan. However, she was rejected three times in a row. Now it is said that she is the laughingstock of scholars!"
"What?" Concubine Shu stood up, her face finally filled with joy.
It was as if a ray of sunshine had finally shone in the gloomy sky over the past few months.
"God help me!"
She walked excitedly around the room, and a plan suddenly came up in her smart mind, "Go to your father's house yourself and ask him to find someone to publicize this matter and arrange a group of people to slander it. You must make this matter known to everyone, I will see how arrogant that bitch will be next!"
Being able to leave the palace and perform meritorious service, the female official naturally agreed.
Early the next morning, the female official left the palace and went to the British government palace.
After listening to his daughter's message, the British father-in-law, who seemed to be much calmer these days, nodded, and immediately snorted, "Not only that, I also want to add more fuel to the fire to completely reverse the direction of the wind!"
He smiled and said, "If these three old guys reject Concubine De, but agree to be Shao'er's teacher, do you need to say more about who has this reputation as a scholar and who has this destiny? "
"Go back, I will do this secretly, let the queen be patient and wait for good news."
The female officer looked at the British Duke with admiration. If this happened, Empress Dowager De would be so angry!
Fortunately, I am on the side of Concubine Shu.
In just half a day, the news seemed to have wings, flying through countless streets and alleys in Zhongjing City, spreading to everyone.
After hearing this, Wei Yuanzhi, Wang Ruoshui and others rushed to Jiang'an Hou Mansion without caring about celebrating the festival with their families, but were told by Gongsun Jing helplessly, "Young master is really not here."
Wei Yuanzhi frowned, "Gongsun Suzhi, this matter is of great importance, you should know the importance!"
Gongsun Jing hurriedly said: "My lord, how dare I deceive you about this matter, and can I control it, sir?"
"Then where did he go?"
"I really don't know! He just said that he has been very busy and tired recently and wanted to go out for a walk and relax."
"What time has it been? How come you still have the energy to go out and relax!"
"Sir, Tushan is just ahead."
A confidant of the Jiang'an Marquis Mansion, a coachman, pointed to a rather majestic-looking hill in front of him, with a cluster of houses looming on the mountainside, and said.
Xia Jingyun lifted the car curtain, revealing a handsome face, looking intently into the distance.
