In the same boat with the son

In the spring of the first year of Yongkang, Dou Wu, the father of Empress Dou, Hou Huaili, wrote a letter to Emperor Huan, imploring Emperor Huan to forgive Li Wei and others, or whether Li Wei, Du Mi, Chen Shi and other powerful officials and celebrities were well-known in the world, or Dou Wu was a foreign relative to Emperor Huan. Speaking of it, it is necessary to win over, and the Dou family is currently a combination of aristocratic family and foreign relatives. As the third potential force, the statement is very important to the situation, and no one dares to act rashly for a while.Or, as far as Emperor Huan himself was concerned, he did not want to cleanse the powerful ministers and celebrities. After all, Emperor Huan was clear enough to realize that eliminating the party members called by the eunuchs would only accelerate the collapse of the dynasty.

For various reasons, in June, Emperor Huan gave amnesty to the world, and Li Wei, Huang Fu, Fan Pang, Chen Shi and others were released one after another, and Cheng Yu died in prison.In the scorching summer, the green stones on the road evaporate a bit of heat, the green leaves are scorching, and the cicadas are tired and screaming non-stop.The gray tiles and stilted eaves exude the most languid laziness in summer in a little heat.

Since Li Huang was imprisoned, the business in Chunqiu Square has become a little weaker, and it is more because of Lin Xiu's intentional restraint.Baishuiju is no longer the same as in the past. Brocade shirts and white clothes, brown cloth jackets, three teachings and nine streams, are much more lively than before.Liu Shu has a high prestige among the people, and this disaster is beyond the reach of others. With Dou Wu's letter to win the favor of scholars and scholars, Dou Wu, Liu Shu, and Chen Fan seem to have become pioneers against eunuchs. The power only follows its leader.

However, no one has paid too much attention to the synthesis of forces. Foreign relatives, clan relatives, powerful officials, aristocratic families, famous scholars, and scholars vary according to the situation at the time. They may merge or diverge.The public grievances caused by the Liang clan have passed for a long time, and there is no longer such a big gap between the noble clan and the common people, because there are even more arrogant eunuchs, no matter what you are among them, you will have disputes with them.

For example, the property and land that should have belonged to the family, the imperial favor that should have belonged to the relatives, the policies or honors that should have belonged to the powerful ministers to govern the country and the people, and the way to be an official that should have belonged to scholars, all under the influence of injustice. All conflicts will become more intense and lead to more conflicts.

Baishuiju still has the solemn and serious style, with black door beams and white paper windows. Even though it is scorching hot, the chattering people in the lobby are still boisterous.Everyone in the world says that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book, but for ordinary common people, there is no gossip about it.Ask the world to reach the point where summer can relieve the heat, winter can forget the cold, the point where you can digest food when you are full, and you don’t know if you are hungry. What else is there other than gossip, and more importantly, this thing can also relieve boredom and loneliness in the world. From top to bottom, None slipped through the net.

Although this calamity caused the whole court to feel a little jittery, and the common people were also anxious for a while, but since it seemed that the turmoil had subsided, the common people were much less nervous, and they were always in different ways, and it was inevitable. Become a conversation piece after dinner.

In the lobby of Baishuiju, people at a table leaning against the pillars were whispering to each other, thinking secretly about Emperor Huan's pardon.All I heard was a rather simple-looking burly man asking, "Why did Master Cheng Chengcheng die in prison when everyone else was released?"

One of his two companions was only focused on eating and was too lazy to answer his words, while the other, a shrewd Doujing, sneered, "Master Cheng executed the grandson of the holy wet nurse, thinking that the wet nurse must be difficult to deal with, so he died in prison Got it-"

"Master Huang Fuhuang killed Xu Huang's nephew, and also dealt with Xu Xuan and his family, but he didn't lose his life?"

Dou Jing took a sip of tea with eyes wide open, "Then you don't know, I heard that Huang Fu was originally from Runan, and was once favored by Li Hao, the prefect of Runan. He came and went, and fell in love with the prefect's daughter. Three matchmakers and six concubines, just like to welcome Miss Li home, I don't want to be snatched away by the thief Xu Xuan, who not only polluted Miss Li's body, but also killed her cruelly. You say, then Isn't it right for Mr. Huang to deal with Xu Xuan—"

"What about Master Li? Master Li executed Zhang Rang's younger brother—"

The companion who only cared about eating couldn't help raising his head when he heard that, on the exposed face, there was a little pockmark on the nose, "I heard from my second cousin's cousin who was guarding in the prison that Mr. Li confessed in prison. There are a lot of eunuchs' children, those eunuchs are afraid of getting caught up in the fire, so let Master Li go—" The other two couldn't help but look enlightened.

But it is said that when Li Huang returned to the mansion this time, Lin Xiu personally cleaned up with Li Huang.I have been in prison for more than half a year. From the late winter to this scorching heat, the food, clothing and shelter in the prison are even shabby. The deep winter is like an ice cave, and the hot summer is like a stagnant stove. There is also the stifling air, and Torture from time to time.Now Li Zhu is no longer the same body as when he was young, and he has rolled several times in the battlefield, and after all the tossing, he has aged a lot.

There were still some wounds on Li Huang's body. After being tortured, he failed to wash them with medicine in time. The hot weather turned into abscesses.Lin Xiu washed him carefully, looking at Li Wei's appearance, he felt very distressed.The old injury on the scapula couldn't be relieved any longer, and the bone was stuffy and aching in the wind and rain.Lin Xiu asked Li Huang to lie on his lap, and knelt under the eaves to wash Li Huang's hair.

Half a scoop of warm water gently washed Li Huang's long hair, and Lin Xiu gently combed it with his fingers. The scorching sun seemed to have become more bleak with time.The white hair and wrinkles that I hadn't noticed before, but this time the toss of the prison, have become so conspicuous, making people powerless.

"Mingxuan, even if he escapes by chance this time, Zhang Rangding will not let it go. Now, are you willing to resign and join me in finding a clean place to spend the rest of your life?"

Li Huang couldn't help opening his eyes. After all these years, Lin Xiu was younger than Li Huang, and he hadn't experienced so many trials and hardships. Although he looked more mature than before, he was still elegant and restrained.Li Tung put his palm against Lin Xiu's cheek, his eyes were apologetic, helpless, and unburned persistence.

"Ziqing, the matter has come to this, and I have no choice but to retreat. If I resign from office, it will not chill the hearts of scholars in the world. If the Holy Majesty dismisses my official position and no longer appoints me, I have nothing to say. Even if I resign and get called up again, I will still inevitably respond. You also know that I am not the same as my mentor, Master Xun. Walking on the road, no matter if the thorns drink blood, or return home with great reputation, no matter whether the future is smooth or burn into ashes, I will be smashed to pieces and die."

Although Lin Xiu had been prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help feeling a bit of a shock when he heard it. Li Wei's behavior annoyed him, but it was also this kind of willingness to fold rather than yield. , Lin Xiu actually admired him very much.Lin Xiu knew that he was actually just a soft bone, afraid of trouble and death, not taking responsibility, and not having the awareness to take the world as his own responsibility.

"Mr. Qu sent a letter. He is old and has no successors. I feel quite regretful. I have thought about it too. Now that the situation is turbulent, I have no power to recover, and I don't want to go too deep into it. If I can go back and pass on the teacher's torch, I can fulfill my wish."

Li Wei was very surprised when he heard that, his eyes kept flickering, and he couldn't help saying, "You want to leave Luoyang?!" After a moment of silence, he said, "You can do whatever you want—" Maybe, leave Luoyang to avoid wading into this place. It is better for Lin Xiu to wade through the muddy water.

Lin Xiu leaned down, and lightly pressed against Li Huang's lips, a little chapped, even though there was a difference, at both ends, it seemed as if he could balance himself with a light touch, just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, black and yang. Bai, as long as the head and tail touch lightly, even if the difference is day and night, so what?

Lin Xiu returned to Jiexiu, teaching and educating people may be a more meaningful thing for him.You can't personally devote yourself to the world like Li Wei, but it is also an enviable thing to be able to teach so many talents who can govern the world.

On the day of leaving Luoyang, young master Zhu, brothers Zhao Su, Fu Ming, and Tai students who were friends with Lin Xiu, there were many of them.Everyone sent them to the long pavilion ten miles outside the city. Lin Xiu took out the guqin that Li Wei had given him, and thanked everyone for singing.

"Do what you do, do what you do, and part with your life

Thousands of miles apart, each at the end of the world

The road is blocked and long, but we can know when we meet

Humayi North Wind, Yue Bird's Nest South Branch

The days of the past are far away, and the day of the belt has slowed down

Floating clouds cover the day, the wanderer does not care to return

Abandon donations and never go back to the road, and work hard to add meals" (Note [-])

Lin Xiu seldom played the piano and sang in front of the crowd. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his figure was brilliant. In this farewell mood, it was even more unspeakable.The existence of some people, every move, can make the boring reality seem to always be a little romantic and legendary, whether it is or not.

Ada and Aru, Zan'er, Young Master Zhu's two little nephews—Wang Rou and Wang Ji, and the seven or eight children in the school, Lin Xiu couldn't help but feel a little headache when he saw this posture. Why does educating people feel like starting from a nanny?In fact, when he returned to Jiexiu, Lin Xiu couldn't really do it. He didn't listen to things outside the window and only read sage books, so Brother Zhao Su didn't leave Luoyang.

Lin Xiu thought, leaving Luoyang would not be so eye-catching, and he would be better prepared for the future.So many things happened. When Li Wei was in prison, Lin Xiu tossed and turned on the bed every night thinking about it, as if he felt something vaguely, but he was not very sure.What should come will come. For Li Wei, it seems that a hero can only have an end. Lin Xiu thinks so, so he seems to be nervous and apprehensive before the end of the curtain, so he tries to escape the most obvious ending.Seeing those crisp faces, Lin Xiu couldn't help feeling guilty and hopeful. When he saw them, he always felt that the future was a very attractive thing.In as much time as possible, Lin Xiu also hopes that he can be a competent teacher for the students.
