"That's fine then."
Liu Zhian replied angrily to Young Master Liu, turned to look at the float on the water, and frowned slightly.
"Hey, have all the fish in the river become smarter today? It's been so long, how come only one fish has taken the bait?"
Young Master Liu held a wine bottle in one hand and a wine glass in the other. After drinking five or six glasses of wine in a row, his heart, stimulated by Liu Zhi'an's words, gradually calmed down.
My old man actually led his men to beat up his father-in-law, Li Zheng.
No matter what the proof is, this seems unrealistic.
Is what my old man said just now true or false?
"belch!"
Young Master Liu burped lightly, and after pulling his small bamboo chair closer to Liu Zhi'an, his eyes revealed a strong look of gossip.
"Old man."
Liu Zhian retracted his gaze from Fuyao and glared at Young Master Liu angrily.
"What are you doing again?"
"Speaking of which, you really led some people to beat up my father, the young master, and his old man back then.
No matter how I think about it, I feel like you are bragging to me about this past incident you mentioned? "
Liu Zhi'an drank a glass of wine, rolled his eyes at Young Master Liu angrily, and waved his hand helplessly.
"You bastard, do you believe it or not?"
Young Master Liu immediately picked up the pot and refilled Liu Zhi'an's glass of wine: "Old man, the conscience of heaven and earth, it's really not that I don't want to believe you.
In fact, what you said is too unbelievable.
You, a Jiangnan merchant, are from a wealthy family.
Father, he is the king of a country and the emperor of the dynasty.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the identity gap between the two of you is as big as clouds and mud.
Let’s not talk about whether there can be communication between the two of you, even if the two of you know each other due to some chance and coincidence.
As a father and an old man.
Do you dare, do you dare to lead someone to beat him up? "
Liu Zhi'an felt the suspicious eyes of Young Master Liu, so he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in his hand, and he started to crack them.
"You bastard, you know what the hell, when I led my men to beat Li Zheng, he was not the king of a country?"
"Ah? It turns out that Emperor Father was not the emperor at that time."
"Yes, when I beat him, he had not yet inherited Dalong's empire and became my Dalong's emperor."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a clear expression. Just as he was about to take a sip of his drink, he suddenly reacted.
"That's not right, that's not right."
"Huh? Is something wrong with you?"
"Old man, when my father ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor even though he had not yet inherited the throne.
Then he, at least he is the Crown Prince of our Dalong, at the worst he is the Prince of the current dynasty!
You dare not beat the king of a country, the current emperor.
So you dare to beat up the current Crown Prince or the Prince? "
When Liu Zhi'an heard Young Master Liu's doubtful words, he glanced at him sideways, touched the tip of his nose with an angrily expression, and coughed a few times with a smile.
“Cough cough cough, huh huh, what about that, what about that.
Old man, I didn’t know what his identity was at the beginning.
Otherwise, based on the situation back then, even if I lend you ten courages, I wouldn’t dare to lead someone to beat him up! "
"Oh, that's it, that's it, that's what I'm saying.
Old man, you don’t know the identity of the father at all, so you dare to do this! "
Liu Zhi'an picked up the drink and drank it all in one gulp, letting out a long sigh of relief with memories in his eyes.
"Nonsense, if I knew who he was, I would have to hate living so much that I would dare to do this."
Liu Mingzhidan smiled and nodded. After drinking a glass of wine, he picked up the pot and filled it with two more drinks.
"Old man, tell me quickly what is going on here.
What is the reason why you led people to beat up Father Emperor? "
Liu Zhi'an turned his head and glanced at Mr. Liu who looked curious, and patted the melon seed shells on his clothes behind him.
"It's a long story."
"Then you can keep your story short."
Liu Zhi'an smiled bitterly and nodded, looking at the sparkling water blown by the gentle breeze, his eyes filled with memories.
“At this time, we have to start with Dangyang Academy.
Bastard, you should be aware of Dangyang Academy’s statement, right? "
Young Master Liu nodded noncommittally, picked up the wine glass and put it in his mouth.
"Of course it is clear. Dangyang Academy has the reputation of producing all the talented people in the world."
Liu Zhi'an nodded slightly, chuckled and cracked a melon seed.
"In Dalong, we have Dangyang Academy in the south and Imperial College in the north.
Dangyang Academy is famous all over the world and has the reputation of producing all the talented people in the world.
The Imperial College in the capital is also famous throughout the world and is home to many talented people.
These two places are sacred places in the hearts of scholars all over the world.
One is famous all over the world, the other is famous all over the world.
In this way, I don’t need to elaborate on the relationship between Dangyang Academy and the Imperial College, but you can probably guess it, right? "
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Zhi'an's expression filled with emotion, raised his brows slightly, and nodded without hesitation.
“Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
I don't need to guess. I know that they are naturally tit-for-tat and dissatisfied with each other. "
"Tit for tat, hehehe, you said it too implicitly.
To be serious, it is not an exaggeration to say that fire and water cannot tolerate each other. "
Young Master Liu thought for a moment and vaguely guessed some of the reasons for the interaction between his old man and his father-in-law Li Zheng.
"So, old man, you and my father-in-law know each other because of Dangyang Academy and Imperial College?"
Seeing that Young Master Liu had hit the key to the problem, Liu Zhi Andan smiled and nodded.
“That was more than forty years ago, when there was a debate between Dangyang Academy and Imperial College.
This debate was initiated by three knowledgeable doctors from the Imperial College against Dangyang Academy.
Dangyang Academy and Guozijian mutually agreed that the competition between the students of the two sides would be based on the six arts of the gentleman, the strengths of various schools of thought, and literary talent and knowledge.
Back then, the leader from the Imperial College who led many students to Dangyang Academy was your father-in-law Li Zheng.
At that time, the headmaster of Dangyang Academy was not Yun Shu girl’s grandfather, the old headmaster of Wenren.
But Yang Xuelun, a well-known scholar in the world, a great scholar in the country, and Yang Laoshan. "
Young Master Liu took a deep breath, with a hint of thinking in his eyes.
"Yang Xuelun, Yang Xuelun, why does this young master feel so familiar to me? It seems like I have heard it somewhere."
"Of course you are familiar with it. Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet and the imperial censor at the time, that old guy who couldn't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, came from Yang Xuelun, the disciple of Yang Laoshan.
This old man is Xia Gongming's mentor. It would be strange if you are not familiar with him. "
After hearing Liu Zhi'an's explanation, Young Master Liu suddenly understood and nodded.
"Yes, yes, old man, when you said that, I remembered this young master.
When I was still studying at Dangyang Academy, Mr. Wenren mentioned the name Yang Xuelun to me.
I remember that the old man told me that even when he saw this person, he would bow respectfully and call him uncle!
Yang Xuelun is a strong scholar, Yang Xuelun is a strong scholar.
This young master remembered that it was him. "
Liu Zhi'an drank a glass of wine, looked at Liu Dashao and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, that's him. Then do you know why Mr. Yang Laoshan got the reputation of being a strong Confucian?"
Liu Mingzhi looked stunned and shook his head subconsciously.
"This young master is not sure about this.
I only vaguely remember that when I asked the old man this question, he casually made some digressions and dismissed me.
When the young master saw the old man, he seemed unwilling to say anything, so he didn't continue to ask any more questions.
Over time, I, young master, have completely forgotten about this matter.
If you hadn't brought it up today, old man, I wouldn't have been able to remember who Yang Xuelun was. "
Liu Zhi'an happily put down his wine glass and pointed at the wine bottle on the low table.
"Pour the wine."
"okay."
"These are just old things that have passed a long time ago. It's only human nature that Mr. Wenren Laoshan doesn't want to mention it to you."
"Old man, tell me, tell me why Mr. Yang Xuelun got the reputation of being a Confucian?"
"This matter must start with Emperor Yongxing and Long Mingzong."
Young Master Liu looked slightly startled, thought to himself for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked towards Liu Zhi'an.
"Emperor Yongxing, Long Mingzong, this person seems to be the father of Emperor Weihe, and this young master's father is his grandfather, right?"
"Yes, it's him."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a wry smile and drank a glass of wine to moisten his throat.
"Old man, no wonder you said this is a long story. It really is a long story."
Liu Zhi Andan smiled and stroked his beard a few times: "Hehehe, I will keep the story short and tell you about Yang Laoshan in general."
"Okay, young master, I am all ears."
"Lao Shanchang Yang Xuelun was Emperor Yongxing back then and one of the most trusted ministers of the Longming Sect.
Later, Emperor Weihe inherited the country, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, becoming the new king of Dalong.
Then, Emperor Weihe, who had always been diligent and caring for the people, gradually became obsessed with the magic of golden elixir and even abandoned the government.
At that time, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wrote letters one after another, admonishing Emperor Weihe to give up the art of golden elixir.
However, no matter how many civil and military officials tried to persuade him, it was to no avail.
In the end, Yang Xuelun, one of the important ministers of Tuogu, rushed into the harem full of anger, holding the Emperor's Sword given by Emperor Yongxing before his death. "
Young Master Liu's eyes lit up and his heart became excited.
"Then, what then?"
Liu Zhi'an picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then turned to look at Mr. Liu and took a heavy breath of alcohol.
"Chief Yang Laoshan entered the harem with one man and one sword. He first killed thirty-six alchemists and then fifty chamberlains.
In the end, Lao Shanchang directly used the Emperor's Sword given by the late emperor to point the sword at Emperor Weihe with a look of grief and anger, forcing Emperor Weihe to immediately declare to the world and abolish all decrees related to the golden elixir longevity technique.
】
When a concubine who was favored by Emperor Weihe stepped forward to stop and scold Chief Yang Laoshan, she directly...directly..."
Young Master Liu swallowed his saliva and quickly urged: "What is it directly? Old man, please tell me quickly."
"Lao Shanchang thrust out his sword and the concubine was killed on the spot."
Young Master Liu frowned slightly and drank a glass of wine with a complicated expression.
"Old man, kill the alchemist, the harem servant, and more.
However, killing the imperial concubine with one sword was an act of sin, and it was a capital crime! "
Liu Zhi'an gently spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth and let out a long sigh with a melancholy expression.
“Yes, it is indeed a capital crime.
However, before his death, the late emperor left Yang Laoshan with the Emperor's Sword, along with a will.
Killing corrupt officials and causing harm to the emperor, his family, and his family is not a crime.
Go up and kill the unprincipled and ignorant king, who brings trouble to the imperial court, and his concubines will not die. "
Young Master Liu looked stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Hey, Emperor Yongxing is so courageous. He can actually leave such great power to a minister."
Liu Zhi'an glanced at Young Master Liu, picked up a melon seed and threw it into his mouth.
"Hahaha, otherwise you think Long Mingzong, where does the word Ming come from?"
As Liu Zhi'an spoke, he suddenly sighed softly, picked up the wine glass and put it in his mouth.
"well."
"Old man, why are you sighing?"
“After all, the royal family has the final say regarding this right.
As you just said, killing the imperial concubine with one sword is the following crime. It is a capital crime.
Just like when Li Zheng passed away, he gave you, one of the auxiliary ministers, the golden whip that beats the emperor.
Although you have the golden whip in your hand, do you really dare to use it to whip the unprincipled and ignorant king without any pressure? "
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"So, what happened next?"
"Later, with the help of the Queen Mother, Chief Yang Laoshan managed to save his life.
From then on, he completely withdrew from the temple.
Then, there is the matter of Yun Shu's grandfather, Wenren Laoshan Chang, who is in charge of the temple. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, picked up the pot and served Liu Zhi'an a glass of wine.
“First, he killed thirty-six sorcerers with his sword, and then fifty chamberlains.
In the end, the sword was pointed at the current emperor, and he killed a very favored emperor with one sword.
Hehehe, hehehe, no wonder Yang Xuelun, the old mountain leader, has a reputation as a Confucian.
Gangru! Gangru!
As expected, he is a worthy scholar despite his great reputation!
No wonder this old guy Xia Gongming is so stubborn.
With such an upright mentor, I am not surprised that he has such a character.
Old man, go on. "
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows and nodded happily.
"That is, Xia Gongming, an old guy, learned from Yang Laoshan in terms of character, but he has already learned it in his bones.
After Yang Laoshan retired from the temple, he went to Dangyang Academy to serve as the academy's director.
After that, your father-in-law Li Zheng took the lead and led a group of poetry-reading students from the Imperial College to Dangyang Academy for debate. "
"It is precisely because of this debate that you, old man, have a relationship with my father and the emperor."
"That's right."
"So, in that competition between Dangyang Academy and Imperial College, who won and who lost?"
"Imperial Imperial College, we are just one move away."
"So, old man, between you and my father-in-law?"
Liu Zhi'an bit the melon seed shell in his mouth and was silent for a moment, then lit another pot of dry smoke very skillfully.
"Bastard."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
