In the early morning of the second day, Qin Yue and Zhang Zhigao followed Shang Jinling on the carriage to Yushan Academy in a somewhat unrealistic way.

Zhang Zhigao couldn't help but asked curiously: "Young Master Shang, how did you persuade Yushan Layman to see us? I heard from those scholars that Mr. Yang was driven down the mountain without even drinking tea."

Shang Jinling was lifting the curtain of the car to look out. Yushan Mountain is the most beautiful mountain in Yunzhou. At this moment, the mountain flowers are blooming and the green trees are shaded. The fairy air is lingering, the scenery is really pleasant, and the heart is broadened.

Hearing Zhao Zhigao's question, Shang Jinling didn't look back, and said, "Nowadays, in Yunzhou City, the most hated by laymen should be Mr. Yang. We are much more popular than him."

After a few words of gossip, Shang Xiaowu, who was escorting outside, said, "Lingling, we're here."

Yushan Academy is located on the mountainside. Mr. Hua sent people to wait at the entrance of the academy. Shang Jinling and the others got out of the car and followed the guides into the academy.

The academy is very large, the buildings are well arranged, and there are many flowers and trees in the other courtyard, which feels like a paradise. The birds singing in the mountains are very quiet.

Hundreds of teachers and students should come and go, there are endless figures, or there are reading and talking, but considering the scholars who have been sitting quietly at the gate of the yamen all night, the quietness and emptiness are expected.

The Yushan layman lives in the innermost, independent small courtyard, which is not very eye-catching.

"Please wait a moment, let the villain go in and report."

However, before the servants entered the room, the door opened, Master Hua came out from inside, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, please come inside."

"I'm disturbing the layman's Qingxiu." Shang Jinling and the two principals raised their hands in salute, and Shang Xiaowu clasped his fists.

Hua Fuzi returned a salute, "No problem, please."

A few people followed Wafuzi into the house, walked through it, and walked back until they entered a spacious hall with paved floors. There were no chairs, no high tables, only a few futons, and a censer in the middle curled up smoke. , and kneeling behind the incense burner was a white-haired old man, wearing a wide-sleeved Confucian shirt, with a slightly solemn expression.

The custom of Dashun is to lean on the table and sit on the chair. It is rare to see this kind of kneeling in the open house that returns to the age of saints. Even Qin Yue and Zhang Zhigao were subconsciously surprised. He bowed to Yushan layman and saluted.

Master Hua took off his shoes, and opened his hands to invite Shang Jinling and the others, "You are all scholars, why don't you sit on the floor together."

Of course it doesn't make much sense, Shang Xiaowu looked at the layman Yushan who was kneeling and sitting motionless, thought for a while and said, "I should also be considered a scholar, right?"

Master Hua raised his hand with a smile, "Miss Shang, please."

The five of them sat down, facing Yushan Layman, Shang Jinling thought for a while and said, "The Layman treats each other so solemnly, the students are flattered, please accept another bow, if you don't understand the ancient etiquette, if there is anything inappropriate, please look at Haihan." Said He raised his hand and bowed his head again to salute, Qin Yue and Zhang Zhigao followed, and Shang Xiaowu clasped his fists.

Yushan layman can tell who is in charge of this trip at a glance. Seeing that Shang Jinling is open and generous, without any anxiety or restraint, he can't help but smile a little, and raise his hand falsely, "Mr. Come, the old man is about to go too."

There is no reason why the disciples charge forward, and the mountain chief hides and hides in the mountain without the road. The Yushan layman is obviously ready to sit quietly in the magistrate's yamen together, and he will not return until he dies.

Thinking of this, Shang Jinling said, "Looks like the student came at the right time." He didn't exchange any more greetings, and took out the small seal from the purse under his waist, "Please take a look at it, Layman Yushan."

The imprints in the letters are always a little fuzzy, it is better to look at the small prints directly.

Mr. Hua came to pick it up in person and handed it over to a layman in Yushan.

King Ning’s great seal is too big, but the private seal is small. This is what Shang Jinling asked Liu Ke for before he left. , but in case of danger, just use it casually, you will recognize whatever you do."

Thinking of this, Shang Jinling raised her lips slightly, the feeling of being trusted wholeheartedly is always wonderful.

Yushan layman was not polite, carefully checked the private seals, the imperial seals were all marked, and it was not easy to fake it, and this also showed the old man's caution.Being at a fork in the road, he couldn't be negligent.

After half a stick of incense, Yushan layman finally gave the seal to Master Hua and returned it to Shang Jinling, "Thank you, Mr. Shang."

"It should." Shang Jinling put Xiaoyin back.

"What is Ning Wang's choice of Yongliang?"

Shang Jinling said: "If you live in Longcheng for a long time, it's like a quagmire. Flood snakes roll around. Even if you stay away, you still can't avoid being splashed with mud. It's better to stay in a chaotic place and wait for the dragon to return."

After these words, the expression on the face of Yushan Layman did not change, but Mr. Hua was surprised. Didn't King Ning be demoted?

Shang Jinling then smiled slightly, "To enter the world, to understand people's hearts, to know people's wishes, and to pay for their sufferings, you will know that the world is difficult."

"Young master, do you think King Ning can be worthy of the four words of serving the country and the people?"

Shang Jinling shook his head and said: "He will never be able to afford it. Life is full of vicissitudes, and the world is impermanent. It takes a lifetime to interpret. These four words are too heavy. No matter who they put on their backs, they will either be crushed or discarded directly. It’s better to put it in front, see it, and remember it.”

Layman Yushan nodded slowly, "Young master's answer is quite unique."

"You are too much, everyone in righteousness can say it, but you still have to keep your feet on the ground after all."

Layman Yushan calmed down, looking at Shang Jinling in amazement, "Young Master, you don't seem to be young enough to study, but your mind is superior to countless others."

Shang Jinling smiled and said: "The student is already sixteen, and his body is weak and weak, so he thinks too much about nothing, and his heart looks old. I hope you don't laugh at me."

Layman Yushan shook his head, "The new policies and laws are not easy. Even if Gao Zixiu is here, he may not be able to succeed. Yongliang is small, and it is easy, but when we arrive in Yunzhou, I am afraid it will change into a different scene."

Shang Jinling said: "That's why we need to try and make mistakes in a larger state capital."

Yushan Jushi chewed on these two words, "Trial and error."

"Exactly, this is the meaning of the new law. I implore Yushan Laymen to be successful and use Yunzhou as an example to make up for the shortcomings of the new law."

Jushi Yushan looked at him, Shang Jinling, and suddenly said: "At this moment, I feel that whether Gao Xueli will come or not is not the key point, it is enough to have you here."

Shang Jinling smiled and nodded, "Students are not self-effacing. I have half the credit for implementing the new law. I am competent. But at this moment in Yunzhou, if you don't have the reputation of your brother-in-law, even if you are a layman as a guarantor, you may not be able to block it." Do you want to live with the doubts of everyone?"

The smile in Yu Shan's eyes deepened, "I don't know when Director Gao will arrive?"

"Two days ago, I sent someone to send a letter back to Yongliang. Counting the round-trip time, it will take about half a month."

two days ago?Master Hua was listening, and couldn't help showing surprise, "I remember that afternoon, you just arrived in Yunzhou."

"Exactly."

Jushi Yushan was slightly startled when he heard this, looked at Shang Jinling, and then finally laughed heartily, "Okay, very good, it's really regrettable to see such a young man in the year when the old man was buried, no wonder King Ning will give you the private seal."

Shang Jinling raised his chin slightly, and raised his hand, "So the layman agrees?"

Layman Yushan raised his hand to Mr. Hua, and Mrs. Hua quickly stepped forward, helped him up, and then walked in front of Shang Jinling.The latter got up quickly, but after sitting for too long, his legs and feet were a little numb. When he got up suddenly, he couldn't help but staggered a step. Fortunately, Shang Xiaowu quickly helped him to avoid falling down.

Yushan Jushi said: "Sir Shang, you should go back, and the old man has to go to the government office."

Although Shang Xiaowu was talking to you and me, his ears were callused, but he also knew the important things and didn't dare to intervene casually, but after hearing Yushan Layman's words, he still asked strangely: "Are you still going?" ?”

"The layman is looking for Yang Shenxing, right?" Shang Jinling said.

Yushan layman nodded.

However, Shang Jinling shook his head and said: "Why do you need to find him, please wait a little longer, let me bring him to see you."

Jushi Yushan looked at the confident Shang Jinling, and finally revealed his inquiring eyes, "Young Master Shang seems to know Yang Shenxing quite well."

"We met a few times in the capital."

"Everyone knows that the Duke of Xiling only has a granddaughter and no grandchildren, but he has six sons and a daughter, so..."

"I'll change my mother's surname." Shang Jinling said.

"Sure enough, it is consistent with what I think. The two families have grievances. Mr. Shang can put aside the past, and I admire you."

Shang Jinling smiled and said: "Helping him is helping myself. King Ning's power is not enough, and the New Deal can't stop here. It's ashamed to say that although he is not upright, he is so ruled by King Duan that Yunzhou is severely persecuted by the New Deal. , among which the causal students cannot absolve themselves of the blame."

"It's none of your business, Ling Ling." Shang Xiaowu listened and said disapprovingly, "It's that old man Yang who did it himself."

"The old man will wait for Mr. Shang."

"Thank you Layman, by the way, we also brought the most complete new laws and regulations revised by Yongliang many times."

As Shang Jinling said, Qin Yue and Zhang Zhigao took out the carry-on box and handed it over.

"This is written silently by the two directors of the new law overnight. There are many changes from the original new law. Laymen have high opinions. Please give us your suggestions."

"it is good."

Shang Jinling and the others didn't stay any longer and left directly.

Master Hua sent him off for a ride, and when he came back, he saw the layman Yushan sitting on his knees drinking tea while the two caskets were still intact. Young master."

Yushan layman didn't make a fool of himself, and said bluntly: "At the age of sixteen, he has such a decisive and decisive mind, and the overall situation is right and wrong. It is amazing. There are thousands of old disciples, and it is difficult for a young man."

Master Hua poured water and tea for him, with a smile on his face all the time.

Yushan layman couldn't help being puzzled, "Yuanshan seems quite happy."

"Naturally happy. There is a way to get the best of both worlds. There is no need for the teacher to fight with his life, and there is no need for the students to give him blood. How can it be a good thing? The student sent the letter yesterday very well."

Layman Yushan also smiled when he heard this, with kind eyes in his eyes.

"Teacher, do you like King Ning?"

Layman Yushan shook his head, but nodded again, "It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it's a good way to see people."

Shang Jinling was actually the one who praised both inside and outside the words, and then Master Hua looked at his teacher and continued to laugh.

"why are you laughing."

"Teacher, the students are getting older, and they have to teach and have family members to accompany them. I am indeed a little negligent of you." Master Hua said.

Layman Yushan frowned, "I don't despise you."

"The student disliked himself and did not serve your old man well."

"There are book boys and servants, there is no need for you to obstruct my eyes every day."

Master Hua laughed and said: "You know what I mean. After the court has tried it this time, I will mention it to Mr. Shang to see if he is willing to be my junior brother and serve you on behalf of all senior brothers."

Layman Yushan cleared his throat and took a sip of tea slowly, "Serving the old man, you see his health is worse than mine, he almost fell when he got up."

Seeing his duplicity, Mrs. Hua couldn't help saying, "If that's the case, forget it."

Yushan layman glared at him, Master Hua couldn't help laughing.

The news that Shang Jinling was going to Yushan Academy was not hidden, and even the candidates from Yongliang were released.

Yang Shenxing listened to the servant's report, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Prepare the car and go to Fusheng Inn."

Fang Jinyu was listening, and suddenly expressed disappointment, "Grandpa, do you really want to go?"

"Since Master Yushan has seen him, I have to go even if I don't want to go."

He didn't fully believe Fang Jinyu's words. If he was really such an impulsive young man, Yushan layman would not have seen him.

This trip to Yushan Academy made Qin Yue and Zhang Zhigao admire Shang Jinling even more. Listening to the conversation between him and Yushan Layman, he was full of emotion, and he felt the arrogance of Shang Jinling saying that Yang Shenxing invited him personally. The words are also convinced.

Instead, he laughed and asked whether Yang Shenxing was already waiting at the inn when he went back.

And this meeting, was actually given by them.

"Master Shang, I'm waiting for the five bodies to fall to the ground."

Shang Jinling smiled and stepped into the inn.
