My country, you can pinch it

When Shang Jinling went downstairs to eat, he happened to see these candidates coming back. He glanced at their faces, seeing the faint excitement above, and asked with a smile, "Fang Jinyu came to see you?"

Zhang Zhigao said in surprise: "Young Master Shang is really clever, how do you know?"

Shang Jinling found a table and sat down, without saying a word, sitting with the twins on the left and right, Shang Xiaoshuang said nonchalantly: "Because he has already been here."

"This...strange." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why Fang Jinyu went to find them now that he was here?

And looking at the expressions of the Shang family sisters, it seems that they don't want to see him very much, Qin Yue said: "Did Mr. Shang not agree?"

Shang Jinling asked back, "Why should I agree?"

"Mr. Shang, aren't you waiting for Lord Yang to come to you? Since you're here..."

Shang Jinling picked up the peanuts on the table, went to Hongyi, rolled his eyelids, and said with a smile, "It's just Fang Jinyu, not Yang Shenxing himself, so I'm too lazy to agree."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched when they heard the words, "Do you still want Master Yang to invite you in person?"

"I didn't need it at first, but seeing Fang Jinyu, I was in a bad mood, so I suddenly changed my mind." As he said, Shang Jinling threw the peanuts into his mouth.

Everyone: "..." This air is too big, Yang Shenxing is the chief assistant of the court after all, even if King Ning sees it, he has to give a little face, this young master opened his mouth and wanted to invite him in person.

They couldn't help but look at the twins, thinking about your younger brother, this is going to go to heaven, the boundary of Yunzhou is not Yongliang!

However, the faces of the twins with their arms crossed were stinky, Shang Xiaowu said: "Our Shang family can see it if they want to?"

"A young brat who doesn't know fart, Yang Shenxing is really ashamed to send him over. Fortunately, this bastard runs fast, otherwise, my aunt will definitely make him look good!"

Everyone: "..." Well, one is hotter than the other, what kind of enmity is this!

"What are you doing standing up, sit down and eat quickly, aren't you tired after running all day?" Shang Jinling raised his hand to invite, a little puzzled.

Everyone then sat down, Xiao Er had already prepared the meals and was delivering them to the table one by one, Shang Jinling picked up the bowls and chopsticks, chewed and ate slowly, without any sign of uneasiness.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, everyone hesitated to speak, and was about to pick up their chopsticks when they suddenly heard Shang Jinling's voice from behind, "Oh, that's right."

This sound made everyone turn their heads to look at him with anticipation in their eyes, only to see Shang Jinling wiped his mouth with the handkerchief, and said, "What did you guys gain today?"

The examinees thought for a while and said, "This afternoon, thousands of scholars in Yunzhou City went to the yamen to sit quietly, carrying the three major crimes of the New Deal written by Yushan Layman, in order to force the imperial envoys to kill corrupt officials and suspend the whole area of ​​Yunzhou. New Deal."

"There are three major crimes in the New Deal?" Shang Xiaoshuang repeated, curious.

Qin Yue said: "Yes, first, it is the crime of helping the emperor, second, it is the crime of being out of date, and third, it is the crime of blind eyes."

After these three crimes, Shang Xiaowu felt a little strange, "The first two are still understandable, but what kind of crime is the last one, can't it be made up?"

"The last one is scolding Yang Shenxing and the third division, and alluding to the current emperor." After Shang Jinling finished speaking, there was admiration in his eyes, "Yushan layman is really not an ordinary person, he has courage."

"If this word spreads to the capital, the emperor may trouble him." As we all know, Emperor Shun is not a big-bellied person.

"I'm afraid I'm just waiting for the emperor to punish me. If I kill him, I'll fulfill him instead." Shang Jinling said softly.

The twins were startled, "Huh?"

"Yunzhou is a big city compared to Yongliang, but it is too small compared to Dashun as a whole. The influence of these thousands of scholars and those people who are desperate to resist is limited. But if the emperor kills If he killed thousands of scholars, the entire scholarly community should be in turmoil." When Shang Jinling said this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Knowing that the people are suffering, he still looks on coldly and waits for things to worsen. He doesn't have such a cold heart, but similarly, Shang Jinling can't do the feat of resolutely sacrificing his life and forgetting himself for the sake of the righteousness in his heart.

He doesn't understand the literary integrity of this era, but he can't criticize it.

After all, Qin Yue has extraordinary knowledge, and she couldn't help sighing: "When we face this situation, Mr. Shang, I really can't say any words of comfort, and naturally I can't mention Director Gao. I thought that when I met Mr. Fang, I would get Mr. Yang's support." If you invite me, you can take advantage of the situation to make this matter turn around, but you refused again, then the next step..."

Everyone followed and lowered their heads.

"What else can we do?"

Shang Jinling looked at the depressed and sad candidates, and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious, Yang Shenxing probably has a big head at the moment, if he doesn't cut the mess quickly and solve this matter as soon as possible, once he is introduced to the court, everything will be beyond his control , so, he will definitely come, and as soon as possible!" Shang Jinling felt a little ridiculous when he said this, "This old man seems to be pushed away no matter what he does."

Everyone listened to his confident words, and the uneasiness in their hearts subsided a little.

Shang Jinling always ate slowly, but today he ate fast, and walked up to Scholar Shen after eating, raised his hand and said, "Brother Shen, can you send a letter to Master Hua for me later? "

When Shen Shusheng heard this, he immediately responded, "Of course, but why does Mr. Shang suddenly want to find Mr. Hua?"

Shang Jinling said: "I would like to meet layman Yushan tomorrow and ask him to pass it on for me."

"it is good."

"Thank you."

Shang Jinling returned to the room, sat down at the table, began to write a letter with the ink on her pen.

He had no feelings for Yushan Layman at first, but he was deeply touched today, which made him get to know this old man again, who is highly respected and worthy of the name.

It's just that although this decisive method is heroic and admirable, it's not worth it.

There is obviously a better way, why bother to hurt both sides?

Yang Shenxing's New Deal cannot fail. This is Liu Ke's weight to return to the capital. At least until Gao Xueli succeeds him, he must survive. Otherwise, once it is completely negated, it will be more difficult to start again.

He sincerely hoped that Yushan Layman would give him a chance.

The only thing that Shang Jinling is worried about is that he has no reputation. After leaving Yongliang, no one knows him. The 16-year-old Tongsheng is afraid that he will not be able to get the attention of the other party.After thinking about it, he took off the purse on his waist, took out the seal inside, and stamped the end of the letter.

Fang Jinyu didn't know how to go back to the magistrate's yamen, and it was filled with thousands of students inside and out.

He really didn't understand why it turned out like this, he thought layman Yushan was a lunatic!After finally going back to look for Yang Shenxing through the remote corner door, he saw the latter pacing back and forth in the study, looking anxious and in a dilemma.

Fang Jinyu collected himself, then walked in and called, "Grandfather."

Yang Shenxing paused, turned to look at him, "Yu'er."

"Those outside..."

"That old man in Yushan, he is really desperate!" Yang Shenxing said angrily.

"Grandson stood outside for a while, and heard the three crimes of the new law, this last crime..."

"This old man did it on purpose!" Yang Shen walked to the table and patted it down with his palm, "It's nothing more than scolding the old man, but even accusing the emperor of being stupid. He wants to use his own life, the lives of those scholars, to make the whole world They all oppose the New Deal! They are crazy!"

"Grandfather, what will happen if you ignore it?"

"Ignore it, these scholars will sit down all the time, and then the three crimes of the New Deal will be spread. Once the emperor knows, Yushan Academy will not be able to live from top to bottom! He is forcing the old man to compromise, which is unreasonable!"

"Is there no other way?"

"Fazi..." Yang Shenxing suddenly looked at him, "Yu'er, those candidates from Yongliang, have you invited them over?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Fang Jinyu thought of Shang Jinling's swearing appearance, and didn't know how to mention it.

"What's going on?" Yang Shenxing looked outside the door, "You came back alone?"

Fang Jinyu lowered her head and apologized: "Grandpa, Yu'er is incompetent, and didn't bring that brat who knows nothing about heaven and earth."

"Boy? Who are you referring to?"

"Yes..." Fang Jinyu hesitated to speak, and finally raised his head and said angrily, "It's Fang Jinling!"

"Fang Jinling?" Yang Shenxing felt that the name was familiar, and when he thought of Fang Jinyu, he immediately remembered, "Wen Cheng's son, the one who went to the Shang family with his mother?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"But why is he here? Could it be that he also came to participate in the hospital examination?"

Fang Jinyu nodded, "Yes, the sick man seems to be in better health." He rolled his eyes, and then said, "Grandpa, I think those candidates are poor, regardless of whether they need to be taken care of. Fang Jinling relied on Duke Xiling, Among this group of people, I am like the stars and the moon, I went today, and before I explained why I came, he humiliated me and threatened to break my legs."

Yang Shenxing was startled, "What?"

"Grandfather, he still hates the Yang family, how could he help us?"

Yang Shenxing frowned, his face sank, and he smiled angrily, "What an arrogant boy, aren't you afraid that the old man will punish him for speaking out?"

Fang Jinyu said: "He said that we have something to ask of him. He is not afraid. Anyway, you have to invite him in person, otherwise nothing will be discussed. Grandfather, he is just a child, and he doesn't even pay attention to you! We are taught by Yushan Academy I'm not angry enough, but I still want to be ridiculed by him!"

Yang Shenxing was already in a bad mood, but now it was even worse, with a dark complexion, "It's unreasonable!"

Fang Jinyu looked at him, secretly waiting for Yang Shenxing to send someone to arrest Fang Jinling, or to give him a severe lesson.

However, Yang Shenxing walked up and down, and suddenly asked: "Yu'er, didn't you say that you didn't explain the origin, how did he know that we asked him?"

Fang Jinyu hesitated, "This..."

"Ok?"

"Grandfather, grandson is ashamed, I told you, but Fang Jinling wants you to invite him in person." Fang Jinyu couldn't help persuading, "Grandfather, why don't we just go to Gao Xueli directly?"

"too long."

"What should I do?"

"My original intention was to let these Yongliang candidates meet Yushan Layman together and discuss recruiting Gao Xueli to Yunzhou to preside over the New Deal. This old man alone would not believe it." Yang Shenxing said.

"Grandpa..."

"So, I have to go. What is a scholar? Since Yunzhou scholars are so strong, these people from Yongliang should not be ignored. If the old man goes in person, it is worthwhile to be able to resolve this matter."

Only at this time did Fang Jinyu realize that Yang Shenxing really had no choice.

Master Hua went up the mountain overnight and walked into the study of the layman in Yushan.

Dimly lit by an oil lamp, the furnace smoke curled up, carrying the aroma of ink and ink, and one could see the old man with completely gray hair and wanting hairpins, wearing a sackcloth, sitting at his desk writing furiously by the lamplight.

Seeing this, Master Hua saluted respectfully and called out, "Teacher."

Yushan layman raised his head when he heard the words, and looked at him with a pair of sunken but still clear eyes, "Why did Yuanshan come here at this hour?"

"The students are talking about you. It's late at night and the lights are dim. Teacher, why are you still annotating? Your health is important."

A smile appeared on Yushan's serious face. He did not put down his pen, but continued to write, saying: "I am afraid that I will run out of time, but there are still too many books to annotate. If you don't hurry up, it will be a pity if you don't have time. "

"Teacher." Hua Fuzi shook his head in disapproval, and he took the teacup in the far hand of Hua Fuzi's table, "It's already cold."

"It doesn't matter, come from afar, is there something important?"

Master Hua nodded, "I can't hide it from the teacher, someone sent a letter to the students, and the students thought it was for you."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yushan Layman.

Layman Yushan then carefully put down his pen, put away the book in his hand and put it aside, then took the letter and looked at the envelope, "Shang Jinling, who is this?"

"He is the grandson of Lord Xiling, and he is the boy student who came to Yunzhou to take the exam this time."

"Duke Xiling?" Yushan layman frowned, "Oh, that's the young man you mentioned to the old man last time? He doesn't learn martial arts, but writes. He is very supportive of Yongliang's new policy."

"Exactly, teacher, so you remember."

"Remember, you praised him." Saying so, Yushan Layman took out the letter and slowly read it by the light.

Mr. Hua was not in a hurry, he brought back the cold tea and changed it to a new pot, and at this time the layman Yushan had finished reading the letter.

"teacher?"

Yushan layman didn't answer, but asked, "Yuanshan, what do you think?"

"Death for the country and righteousness, the students are never afraid, the scholars in Yushan Academy, Yunzhou, and even the scholars in the world will not shrink back, but, teacher, is the New Deal really hopeless? Gao Xueli is the master of Gao Zixiu Only son, can you consider..."

"Yuan Shan, if he is a high self-cultivator, the old man is willing to accept it, but his son..." Yu Shan layman shook his head, "If the old man misses this opportunity and wants to suppress the New Deal again, he will have to wait for more... , Thousands of people suffer, uprising everywhere, resistance is possible. This Dashun is hurting, and it is really going to perish! I can't bear it!"

"But teacher..."

"Yuan Shan, you also know that in this year alone, there are three new laws, and there are dozens more after that, involving various aspects, including the selection of talents through the imperial examination. These will become ghosts to oppress the people! Layman Yushan looked closely at Master Hua, with sadness and determination in his eyes, "Yuanshan, there are some things you can't bet on!"

It was not easy for Jushi Yushan to make today's decision. Master Hua was by his side, and he saw it clearly. He couldn't bear to persuade him any more, so he respectfully said: "Student understands, send someone to reject him after you go back."

Yushan Layman sighed a long time, with a sad face, "It's a pity..." He picked up the letter again, and said with relief and regret, "The vision and literary talent mentioned in this letter can be put at the forefront of the case. Your name, Shang Jinling." He read these three words, his eyes fell on the final signature...

Master Hua walked up to him, "Teacher, please give me the letter, and I will return it to him personally."

However, layman Yushan stared blankly at the letter and did not move.

Hua Fuzi reminded strangely: "Teacher?"

"Yuan Shan, look at this seal."

"Seal?" The sky was dim, and some couldn't see clearly. Master Hua took it over, put it under the lamp, and suddenly opened his eyes, "This is..." He looked at it more carefully, and then said to Master Yushan in surprise, "Teacher, this is King Ning's private seal."

"This old man looks a bit like..." Yushan layman murmured, "Prince Ning...In that case, Yuanshan, tomorrow, let that little friend Shang come."

"teacher!"

"Prince Duan seeks fame, but King Jing shows no mercy. I don't know what kind of King Ning is."
