Ying Tianchang

In spring, when the snow is gone and the rain is plentiful, the Ministry of Rites will fire the fireworks again.At this time, it has been 14 years since Shen Yue stepped into the examination room in high spirits that day.After the three days of spring, it will be half a month to collect scholars, and then it will be time for him to leave.Shen Yue wandered back and forth in the examination room, his mind was the same as it was 14 years ago, he was calculating the distribution of scholars from various factions this year, and at the same time thinking about some private matters, such as a grave for his grandfather who failed to serve his old age after all , or renovate the old Zhuangzi of the Shen family.The difference is that back then he was guessing everything about it, but now, the lists of each family had been delivered to his house half a month ago together with a banknote.

Shen Yue laughed at himself, he wasn't a good official after all, he deserved a lot of money.It's just that the money that has been sent to Dadu over the years can probably be worth it, right?After so many years in the officialdom, Shen Yue's deepest feeling is that the road without money is impenetrable, and the second is that the road to send money must be guarded by trustworthy people.

Ten years ago, there was a violent coup in Kyoto. Emperor Zhenghui and his princes died suddenly overnight. The second prince ascended to the throne at the age of 12. Empress Dowager Xiao came to regent behind a curtain and appointed Shen Yue, Chang Zhengping, Wen and Wu as assistant ministers to assist the new emperor. .

What a mess!Everyone in the princelings headed by Liao Jinxiu is terrified, fearing that they will be cleaned up like the remnants of Liao Xiang. The political ministers will surely make it difficult for the government to revive.Empress Dowager Xiao originally planned to beat her to death with a stick to warn others, but unexpectedly, the Prime Minister Xiao Shen had no intention of killing. Appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mi Danzhou, the former director of the Department of River Transport, was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which is regarded as a change of dynasty.

Yushitai has long been in the hands of Shen Yue, and the two ministries of workers and households are all in his pocket. Now the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, and the Kyoto Prefecture have faintly fallen to Shen's lineage. In addition, the Imperial Army led by Su Baosheng and Jiangnan Laoye With the strong support of the governor, no one in Kyoto dared to act rashly for a while.But it was General Chang Zhengping's attitude towards Shen Yue that really calmed down the turmoil—it was only then that no one thought that the reason why Chang Zhengping, who was still in the Guangdong Army, became the commander of the Kyoto Defense Division, seemed to be It is also inseparable from that old Mr. Shen.A small number of officials who were still unwilling to give up wrote a letter. General Ren Weichang of Dingyuan, who was stationed in the new city in the northern Xinjiang of Yingguo, received an urgent letter congratulating the new emperor on his enthronement after half a month—the enthronement of the son of Prince Rui and the enthronement of the second prince. What's the difference?

From then on, the new king took office, and the world was at peace.

Shen Yue now possesses enormous power, and he also knows that this power is not a matter of luck.This is a punishment, but also a burden.And ten years after he worked hard to build Dadu, Xiuhe Gongfu, and the government with the help of Duan Jiuhe's Rui Ning Shizi, he was finally able to take off this burden.Zhong Yuning has already stated that he will do his best to guide Cao Sui. For Yingguo, which is now peaceful and prosperous in the world, keeping things safe is enough to secure the world.While thinking this way, Shen Yue silently memorized the names of a few candidates who were quite talented and learned, and planned to shorten their name strips when they blurred their names later, so as to leave a few for Shiheng to use. deputy.

Jiangnan in April is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies.In today's Yingguo, Haiyan and Heqing are clear, even if it is a rural place, there is little theft, and young children can play around, let alone Hangzhou, which is a prosperous and prosperous place.On the banks of the West Lake, among the spring willows on the long embankment, girls with pink faces and peach cheeks shuttled and frolicked. Who is young and romantic..." Hearing their joyful singing, Shen Yue couldn't help feeling melancholy, knowing that nothing in the world is irreversible, only the word "youth" is really gone forever.However, looking back on the past is like a dream, and it is like looking at flowers in the fog. After years of sifting and washing, everything is beautiful.

Obviously never enjoyed the time of youth, but still feel that nothing in the world is a teenager.

Shen Yue touched the dagger on his chest. It was stuffed in his hand by Su Baosheng before he left. He said it was given by Ren Hui when the five people in the Green Orange House were drinking. If you see Ren Hui, give it to him. , Said that if he did not come back, this time it would be his turn to come and fight.Thinking of this, Shen Yue felt sad, he had been in this Jiangnan area for a year, and he was still far away from fulfilling Baosheng's entrustment.Yanliu in Suzhou and Hangzhou, night moon in Qinhuai, he has fulfilled the unexported promise to the south of the Yangtze River, but Ren Hui seems to have disappeared in this world.

No one in Yingguo seemed to remember the name Ren Hui anymore, no matter whether it was the young Confucian general who flirted with the capital or the cruel killer who shocked the four countries with one arrow, no one mentioned the teahouses and restaurants in the streets and alleys all the way south from Yuechun.On the contrary, his own ancestral halls have spread from Jining in those days to the north and south of the river today. Most of them are shaped like Wenqu stars. The glaze is gorgeous and gaudy. There are many women begging for children kneeling in front of them. Every time he sees them, he breaks out in cold sweat. Shouting ashamed, wishing he could come forward and wake up those foolish men and women—he has no children under his knees, if he kneels down on his statue, his dream will come to nothing.

What he didn't know was that he was the chancellor of a country in his early twenties, and he had a reputation for governing rivers in his early years. In the past ten years, his reputation was like a scorching sun in the sky, and any young genius's name in front of him was like snow in the sun. Under it, vulnerable.The irony is that the person who wants to find can't find anywhere, but he first arrived in Jiangnan for only three days, and he met Fan Xicheng who had also disappeared for several years. The handsome Huajianke has become a monk, wearing a cassock and holding a wooden fish, with long eyebrows drooping and smiling, he is full of Taoism.Shen Yue confessed that Meng Ou was forced by him back then, and disappeared with his maid after performing a play with him. Fan Xicheng didn't care about it either, and only said that if there is an effect, there must be a cause. Suffer fruit.

The so-called good fortune tricks people, probably so.

When he returned to Hangzhou this time, he had traveled around Yuhang, Jiaxing for several months, and rented a black-covered boat to float down the Fuchun River. Since he couldn't find it anywhere, he planned to find it in the old Shen family's house by the West Lake. Settle down and live forever.As Ren Hui said, the past is just a dream for a moment, and if you want to continue, you will only wait for the next life.As the flow of people slowly walked towards Qinghefang, Shen Yue thought that if there was an afterlife, he would definitely invest in this place with warm mountains and soft water. one person.

Qinghefang is just like Nanshi in Yuechun. It is the most lively and prosperous place. Food, calligraphy, painting, utensils, and antiques are all sold, but the streets are narrower and more crowded. There are fewer casinos and banks, and the wandering tourists are more lazy. It seems that although busy, it's just killing time.

As the saying goes, busy ears with nothing to do.

Since living in this Hangzhou city, Shen Yue's daily activities are only a few, except for eating and sleeping, that is walking around the West Lake and Qinghefang.Now that his martial arts are useless, he is no different from an ordinary person, he should be able to strengthen his body.Of course, there is also his vague hope here. Ren Hui has trouble walking, so he can't open a martial arts gym. His life is only good at both civil and military skills. Since he can't sell martial arts, he can only open a school or sell calligraphy.It's just that he searched carefully every calligraphy and painting shop in Qinghefang from the beginning to the end a year ago, and he couldn't find a person with a similar figure. He accidentally bought a picture of Dong Yuan's snowy forest landscape at a low price. And two authentic works by Cai Xiang, it would be nice to hang in the study.

Let it go, anyway, this day is still long.Shen Yue smiled, walked out of a shop, and inadvertently glanced at the dazzling array of calligraphy and paintings hanging outside the shop, vaguely seeing something familiar.Shen Yue didn't care, only thought that the words and sentences were familiar, and after walking a few steps, she felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly turned around to take a closer look, Shen Yue stayed on the spot after seeing it—

In the past, I said goodbye to Chuyue, the snowy moon bathed in blood.

Today's Junke Wu Ban, the spring scenery is misty spring spring.

The hometown reads for a while.White occurs in Russia.

Participating in business is a long time away, and the phase is actually leisurely.

This, this is his own word!The more Shen Yue looked at it, the more confused he became, especially the word "white hair". Father is born again, otherwise who else can write this——Thinking of this, Shen Yue rushed into the shop and grabbed the boss, "Whose is the writing on the outside?" "Which one?" There are so many words, guest officer, which one do you want?" "The unsigned pair, I will not leave Chuyue." "Oh", the boss suddenly realized, "That one, a couple put it here for sale Yes." "Husband and wife?" Shen Yue was greatly disappointed, it seems that some failed scholar bought a rubbing copy for practice in the Green Orange Building.He still didn't give up, "The husband is a young man with a broken leg?" The boss frowned, and said in a displeased tone, "What broken leg? The young couple are both picturesque characters, and the young man is only in his early thirties at most, and Yushu is facing the wind." ""Really?" Shen Yue sighed slightly, it seemed that it was an empty joy, thanked the boss, turned around and prepared to leave, but the boss over there was still rambling, "What kind of broken leg, that little lady is my What about the beauty I have never seen in my life, the snow-white skirt and jasper hairpin, just like the fairy girl in the sky?"

With a thought in mind, Shen Yue turned around and asked, "Jasper hairpin? What kind of jasper hairpin?" The boss gestured and said, "It's so long, the whole body is green, and the water color is really beautiful. It's not an old man's bragging, I also sold it in the past A few years of jade, such a good hairpin, no one can buy 800 taels, absolutely impossible to buy. At first glance, it looks like a descendant of a declining family..." That's right, it's Qing Gong!That young master is naturally Hailu, they must have found Ren Hui!Shen Yue was ecstatic in his heart, and without asking the price, he threw an ingot of silver to the boss, and said anxiously: "I bought the picture outside, do you know where that young couple lives?" The boss was overjoyed, afraid that Shen Yue would regret it, Quickly kicked Yinzi into his arms, pointed to the south side and said: "Not far, not far. You go out of Qinghefang, turn two corners, there is a yard behind it, planted a lot of flowers and plants, you just follow The guard will not miss that walk. My house is just a few houses away from his house. If the young master wants to buy their calligraphy, I still have some in stock. I can take you—" "Keep them all for me!" Shen Yue Ben went out, then turned around and said, "I'll take that one when I get back. Don't sell one to anyone else, I'll take it all!"

Shen Yue ran wildly all the way, just praying in his heart, this time, he must, must not miss it again──

Behind Qinghefang, outside the peach grove, among the bamboo fences, someone is watering the flowerbed skillfully with a walking stick. In the garden, a man and a woman are playing chess. Biluochun is placed on the stone table, and there are three or four freshly dried leaves on the shelf. Calligraphy and painting.The woman was hesitating with a chess piece, while berating her husband softly, she said,

Mo Yantou is old in years, and people will recall this year in the coming year.
