Zhuang Dingchun was extremely surprised.
I don't know what kind of poem the regent wrote, but it made Zhu Yushi's face suddenly look heavy.
Chen Zhigeng on the side was also quite curious.
Almost all of the Regent's poems are now included in the "Ning Shi Ci Yuan Bai Pian".
As a descendant of the Chen family in Yingzhou, he naturally knew it by heart.
But the regent is a poet in Ningguo. No one knows how many poems he has written during his travels in various places in the past two years.
Or maybe it hasn’t been introduced to Kyoto yet.
The poem written by the regent that Xiang Qingyun handed to Zhu Yushi was definitely not about romance... it might be about human suffering.
Just like the article "The Charcoal Seller".
Only Zhuang Dingchun was not too interested in this. He wanted to say that there were two new girls in Yihong Building, but after looking at Zhu Yushi's serious face at the moment, he finally decided to stay and find a time to talk in a relaxed atmosphere. .
Xiang Qingyun picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He looked up at Zhu Yushi and said:
"Brother Zhu,"
"I remember we discussed an issue together when we were in Yuzhou two years ago."
"What is reading for?"
"I remember you said that you want to be an official and be able to rule the country so that the people under your rule can live a life without worries about food and clothing."
"At that time, I didn't have such ideals as you..."
Xiang Qingyun smiled and said: "I just thought that our family is all businessmen. If someone can serve as an official in the court, the family business will be better."
"Then the news of the regent's entry into Kyoto spread to Shuzhou... Before he became the regent, he had the words engraved on the stone tablet in front of the Imperial College!"
“Establish your heart for heaven and earth!
Make a living for the people!
Continuing the unique learning for the Holy Spirit!
May peace be created for all eternity! "
"I suddenly woke up and realized that this is the real purpose of reading... I remember that you had a big idea after hearing these four sentences!"
"You were drunk and dancing wildly, and you said... He is a confidant on the road of life!"
"Now that you have won the Jinshi Scholarship, you have a real shortage, but because the place you are going to is the bitter cold Huaibei County, you have become depressed again..."
Zhu Yushi raised his head.
Face full of shame.
"Brother Xiang!"
"I know I was wrong!"
"In the past few years, I have become accustomed to the prosperity of Kyoto, but I have forgotten the suffering of the people and the ideals I once had... and I lost myself."
"After all, I still want to be comfortable. I want to gain fame and fortune without having to pay too much."
"Listening to Brother Xiang's words, past experiences come to mind."
"Seeing the regent's song "Sheep on the Hillside" is like an enlightenment. If you prosper, the people will suffer; if you die, the people will suffer... If you don't want the people to suffer, only those who are officials will suffer!"
Zhu Yushi suddenly stood up and looked out the window at the thick fog.
He seemed to see Shuiyun Mountain obscured by thick fog, and seemed to see the rugged path to climb the mountain.
The look of disappointment was no longer on his face.
His gaze became extremely firm.
"The regent can suffer for a country. I wish Yushi... as the spring rain moistens the vast hectares of barren fields in Huaibei County, and as the pebbles pave the road to prosperity for the people of Huaibei County!"
"good!"
High five to Qingyun and stand up.
"This is the Mr. Zhu that I was familiar with in the past!"
"This is the responsibility that scholars like me should shoulder!"
"The regent will arrive in Kyoto in three days. Brother Zhu, I will go into the palace to meet with Chief Wen and ask him to extend your stay for three days. We will go to the city gate to welcome the regent back to the capital. How about that? ?”
Zhu Yushi pondered for three breaths, smiled slightly and shook his head:
"Thank you, Brother Xiang, for your kindness."
"I'm leaving...leaving now!"
"Huaibei County is very far away. It's already late autumn. By the time I arrive in Huaibei County, it will be the middle of winter."
"The Northern Desert is most afraid of snow disasters."
"There are 65,722 people in Huaibei County... I don't want to freeze to death or starve to death!"
"Brothers, farewell!"
Zhu Yushi bowed his hands, turned around, and walked away:
"It will make the faces of the people in Huaibei County bloom like flowers... I wish Yu Shixu will return."
"Until then, I will see you all again, Your Majesty... then my heart will be at peace!"
he's gone.
His back quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
Xiang Qingyun still looked at it. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhuang Dingchun:
“You can grow cotton on Bei Desert Road!”
Zhuang Dingchun was startled, and he immediately understood what Xiang Qingyun said.
"kind!"
"I will send someone to tell Butler Xu to teach the people to grow cotton in Huaibei County!"
After a pause, Zhuang Dingchun looked at the thick fog outside, and a look of worry suddenly appeared on his face:
"Cotton planting will be done next year, but now the people in Huaibei County are facing the problem of surviving the winter..."
He turned towards the door and shouted:
"Xiao An!"
A young man in green clothes came in and bowed: "What are your orders, Master?"
"Go and tell Butler Xu that it was my intention."
"Tell him to send people to Xiayuanzhou as quickly as possible, mobilize... mobilize 300,000 kilograms of cotton and deliver it to Huaibei County, Beimo Road, and hand it over to the county magistrate Zhu Yushi!"
The young boy named Xiao An raised his head and glanced at Master Zhuang in surprise, then quickly bowed and said, "I obey, little man!"
Zhuang Dingchun waved his hand: "Go quickly...wait!"
"After you finish this matter, go to Yihong Mansion and tell the madam that tonight, Master, I will meet friends at Chunxiao Pavilion and let the new Baimei girl accompany me!"
Xiao An agreed, turned and left.
The atmosphere here suddenly lost its solemnity. Xiang Qingyun looked meaningfully at Zhuang Dingchun and slowly sat down, asking:
"Who is Miss Baimei?"
Zhuang Dingchun rolled up his sleeves, poured tea, and said with a smile: "I heard she is a Yue girl!"
"This time Yihonglou spent a lot of money to get two Yue girls, one named Baimei and the other Shili."
"I heard that these two girls are not only as beautiful as a fish and a wild goose, but they are also one of the best in the world at playing, playing and singing!"
"Of course, what I want to see more is whether Yue girls are really passionate."
Xiang Qingyun laughed and pointed at Zhuang Dingchun:
"Is it possible that Brother Zhuang still intends to have sex with that Yue girl?"
Zhuang Dingchun also grinned, "I don't dare!"
"But I have an idea...Brother Xiang is alone in Kyoto. Autumn is getting stronger and winter will definitely be colder."
He leaned over and raised his eyebrows: "Let's take a look tonight. If it's really that good... I'll buy it and give it to Brother Xiang to warm his bed."
His words were interrupted by Xiang Qingyun:
"You can stop it!"
"You don't even know how busy I am these days!"
"The Prince Regent has returned to Beijing, and the Qin Tian Jian has been optimistic about the auspicious day for his enthronement."
Zhuang Dingchun's eyes widened immediately, "When will you choose?"
"The eighth day of October!"
"...There are only seven days left?!"
"Yes, but Chief Wen said that the regent has arrived and the message should be kept simple, but no matter how simple it is, the rules should still be followed."
"Even if you don't offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, there will always be sacrifices to this heaven and earth."
"In addition, we have to invite envoys from other countries living in Kyoto to come and witness. The palaces and gardens in the harem are being repaired these days, so I have to go and see it from time to time."
Zhuang Dingchun nodded slightly: "That is indeed enough for you to be busy, but no matter what, we have to have a drink at Yihong Tower tonight."
He turned to look at Chen Zhigeng and said with a smile:
"Brother Chen, I have also invited the three brothers from the Wang family in Taiyuan and Cui Yu from the Cui family in Qinghe. Just a few of us will go and listen to the music."
"After the regent ascends the throne, I think your appointments will be finalized."
"You will have a bright future in the future. Little brother, I will either welcome you in advance or make friends. One day, when I come under your rule, I can have a drink with you and reminisce about old times. This is my honor, little brother!"
Chen Zhigen smiled shyly, "Brother Zhuang, you're welcome!"
He reached out and took out the piece of paper on the table, and took a closer look...
"No wonder Brother Zhu is so eager."
"My heart...is the same!"
