Gu Chang, who was disgusted by Peng eleven, was sitting with Pei Yan in the waterside of Pei’s garden, drinking the West Lake Longjing of the Ming Dynasty just delivered from Hangzhou, watching the koi, and talking about the papers of the Jiangsu Rural Examination last fall: " …Although the way to be the ruler lies in the protection of the rule and the ancestor, the protection of the rule lies in abiding by the constitution, and the ancestor of the law lies in the kindness and affection. That Xie Yuan Wang Chunhe used the "Li Gu Chuan of the Later Han Dynasty" to see Yao on the wall, Food is to see Yao Yugen's, it is too simple. It can be seen that the record of this year's township examination is not good."

Pei Yan didn't want to talk to Gu Chang at all, and didn't want to tell Gu Chang. But Shen Shanyan sat next to him. In the past few days, he enthusiastically introduced the scholars in Lin'an City to Gu Chang, and even uncharacteristically accompanied Gu Chang to visit him several times. He didn't know what the relationship between Shen Shanyan and Gu Chang had, but it seemed that Shen Shanyan had been gracious to his brother Fei, and he still perfunctory Gu Chang patiently.

At this time, seeing him instruct the Jiangsu Provincial Examination, I couldn’t help but feel a little bored, and couldn’t help but say: "I have read Wang Chunhe’s papers, and I think it’s not bad. He thinks that'the ambition of a monarch is based on nothingness', and that'nothingness should endure it Governing the source, there will be no secrets, and the ruler's morality is increasingly under the constitution, the people's privacy is becoming more and more accessible, and the way of life of the country.'. Apart from anything else, he dared to write these few words. I think Mrs. Yang can command the king. Chunhe is the solution to the yuan, and it will live up to his style of being a gentleman."

Gu Chang raised his eyebrows.

Last year, the chief examiner of the Jiangsu Provincial Examination was Yang Shoudao, a fellow of the Hanlin Academy.

Yang Shoudao is the son-in-law of Pei Yan's teacher Zhang Ying.

"In that case, Xia Guang agrees with Master Feng!" He smiled at Pei Yan and took a sip of tea.

When the Emperor Chao is very old, he likes to drink, and every time he drinks, he will be drunk, every time he is drunk, he will be angry, and will kill people at every turn. The maids and maids in the palace are miserable. Last year, during the Lantern Festival, an official of the Pedestrian Department was killed by mistake. Although this incident was suppressed at the time, it gradually spread over time.

The policy theory that Wang Chunhe was designated as Jieyuan was just using the opportunity of regular politics to persuade the emperor to have the right way to be the emperor. It is a very bold and sharp article. And Yang Shoudao, who ordered Wang Chunhe for the solution of the yuan, is even more clingy, with a gentleman's style of worrying about the world's worries.

As for Feng Zhi in Gu Chang's mouth, it is Gu Chang's senior, who works as a historian at the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After the emperor killed the official, he was the first person to impeach the emperor.

Now he is still in prison.

However, it won the praise of Shilin all over the world, especially Jiangnan Shilin.

Gu Chang's teacher, Sun Gao, was Zuodu Yushi of the Superintendent of the Superintendent, and Peng Yu, the seventh master of the Peng family, jointly in charge of the Superintendent.

After listening to Gu Chang’s words, Pei Yan sneered in her heart, but her face was indifferent, saying: "Is Chaoyang trying to save Master Feng from the water and fire? It's a pity that my brother and I are keeping the system at home, and I inherited the family business. I won’t be an official in the future, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help Chaoyang."

Gu Chang did have this plan.

It should be said that he didn't have this plan, but his mentor Sun Gao had this plan, that's why he made his trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

It was just an accident to know Pei Yan.

He originally only thought that Pei's family was a local snake in Lin'an City, and that Pei Yan was still a middleman in the matter of Li's family. But he didn't expect that Pei Yan, who was commented by his mentor as "noble and proud, incomprehensible", even looked at his mentor.

He is more than arrogant and arrogant, he is almost clean. But this cleanness at the moment is precisely the power and self-confidence to see through the world, which is completely opposite to what his mentor said of "imperceptible things". Then he asked Shen Shanyan to be a recommender and came to Pei Mansion several times by having a relationship with Shen Shanyan who had taught him piano art.

As for Pei Yan, he couldn't speak up, and Pei Yan immediately guessed his purpose of coming to Jiangnan.

Even Shen Shanyan, who had been ups and downs in the officialdom, couldn't see it, let alone Pei Yan said it with a fearless magnanimous feeling.

It shows Pei Yan's confidence in herself.

People who have the ability to stand on the top of the mountain usually admire those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with themselves or stand taller than themselves.

Gu Chang implicitly said: "Master Feng is worried about the country and the people, and the scholars admire him. You can't always let the villain run rampant, let the gentleman be embarrassed!"

Today's imprisonment is in the hands of the chief eunuch, the chief eunuch.

I don’t know how many people die unjustly every year.

Pei Yan didn't take it seriously. He didn't even want to make a courtesy for Gu Changxu's tea. He leaned back lazily on Daying's pillow and gave himself a cup of tea. He said, "Chaoyang may not know it, my brother's uncle, in Tai Changsi has been an official for many years."

Taichang Temple is in charge of ritual music, imitation of temples, and national sacrifices. But in the whole world, could it be Wang Tu. Regarding the emperor's affairs, how can we clearly distinguish between family affairs and state affairs? Sometimes the eunuchs of the Twenty-Four Inner Yat could not report the accounts, so they spread out on the head of Taichang Temple. When Taichang Temple could not report some of the accounts, they would also ask the eunuchs of the Twenty-Four Inner Yamen to help. Say item. The relationship between the two companies has always been very good.

What Pei Yan said was that he would not interfere with the affairs of the eunuchs.

This is very different from the attitude of many people in Shilin.

Shen Shanyan was afraid that both of them would be going well, and the young talents who held the top of the family resources couldn't bear each other for a while, and the conversation fell apart and there was a gap. Let's not talk about sincere cooperation in the future. It is a huge loss for Jiangnan Shilin to hear that each other's names are not willing to eat at the same table.

He hurriedly laughed and said: "Today is beautiful and sunny. You are also scholars at any rate. How can you talk about government affairs and let down this great time? Chaoyang, today is your starting point. You punished yourself with three cups of tea in order to behave like you." After that, he brewed a cup of tea and shared it with Gu Chang, smiling and urging "Quick drink".

Gu Chang just couldn't hold back, and tested Pei Yan's knowledge and ability. There is no deep hatred between the two, how could he offend Pei Yan?

Shen Shanyan gave him a step, he smiled happily, picked up his teacup, lifted it a few times towards Pei Yanxu, and said sincerely: "Xia Guang, I have been in the capital for a long time, and I have become vulgar. Everyone likes to talk about it. , Xiaoguang is so self-cultivation, and did not drive me out, I will toast you a glass."

Pei Yan was really fed up with his hypocritical behavior, and decided to give him one last time.

If Gu Chang behaves like this again, he will drive Gu Chang out.

Fortunately, Gu Chang kept talking with him about the inheritance of a small bronze cauldron that he had found in the capital some time ago. They were all in peace, and even seemed to talk about it to the end.

Shen Shanyan was very pleased.

No one in this world is luckier than Pei Yan.

The old fox Zhang Ying accepted him as a closed disciple when he was about to return to his hometown, which gave him an enviable network and political capital.

The old lady of the Pei family not only called Pei Yan back, but also made him the suzerain. Shen Shanyan felt that the old lady was confused before he died. But when he knew it was too late, even if he wanted to persuade Grandpa Pei, it was too late. He even hoped that Pei Yan could hide in the city, be a white-clothed elder, and do his part for Jiangnan Shilin.

In the past ten years, they have been concealed by the Shilin in the north. If you don't forge ahead, Jiangnan Shilin will be greatly hurt.

This is not a family business.

It is related to the scholars in the whole Jiangnan.

Pei Yan could back down, and Gu Chang could take advantage of the trend, letting him see the hope of Jiangnan Shilin's rise.

Shen Shanyan and Gu Chang even stayed in Pei’s house for dinner before returning to the county school.

Gu Chang lived here in Shen Shanyan.

Shen Shanyan's hand-held servant saw him with clear eyes and couldn't help but asked in amazement, "Master didn't drink today?"

"We went to Pei's Mansion!" Shen Shanyan replied, and he exchanged a few moments with Gu Chang, and agreed to take Pei Yan to Zhaoming Temple to play tomorrow, and then they separated.

Gu Chang’s personal entourage is a man in his thirties, called Gao Sheng, who was given to Gu Chang by Gu Chang’s grandfather after his mother died of illness, fearing that their brothers and sisters would be bullied. Gao Sheng is not so much his entourage. His guard, loyal servant, and confidant.

Seeing Gu Chang came back, he was busy serving Gu Chang to change his clothes.

Seeing no one in the room, Gu Chang whispered quietly, "What did I ask you to do?"

Gao Sheng is tall and burly, with an ordinary appearance, but gives a very calm and reliable feeling between his gestures.

"It's all done as you ordered." He said, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, after thinking about it, he continued, "The Li family is like a headless fly, and until now, no one has been able to find out who did it. "

"Trash!" Gu Chang's face was blue when he heard the words, and he said bitterly, "Isn't it a young Junjie? Even a business is not settled. Has his book been read in the belly of a dog? Now he has so much left for him. He was still ignorant of the thread. No wonder A-mei didn’t look at him! I think he was just a silver wax gun tip. You’ll send someone to send a letter to the lady later and tell her about it. Said I agreed with her to retire."

Gao Sheng respectfully should "yes".

Gu Chang talked about Pei Yan: "It's no wonder he never participated in those Yaji poetry clubs when he was in Beijing, and his reputation is still so strong. Sure enough, he has some ability. It is a pity that he keeps the system at home, otherwise he would be a good candidate."

Gao Sheng didn't say a word.

Gu Chang changed his clothes, freshened up, and talked about Pei Yan: "I used to think that Pei's family was nesting in Lin'an City. It must be that the family was not enough. Now it seems that I have looked down on Pei's family and Pei Xiaguang. Are there any in-laws who are acquainted with their family and can speak in front of Pei’s Laoan? If you can make A-mei show a face in front of Pei Lao’an, you might really be able to do it. However, you have to do it first. The marriage has retired. It must be unclear. Pei Xiaguang also has dignity, and he must not lose his face."

The eldest son has taken a fancy to Pei Yan?

Gao Sheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Or, I'll find out about the Pei family first? It stands to reason, like Sanye Pei, should be the golden turtle son-in-law that everyone wants? In case he has already decided. Are you kissing?"

If the eldest lady retires with the Li family, who will she marry? Moreover, the eldest lady is not young anymore. Although Li Duan is unbearable, she is a serious scholar who is also tall and handsome. Using the methods of the eldest lady and the eldest son, it should be quite easy to handle, and it is finally a picture. same.

Don't get in trouble if you don't reach both ends.

Gao Sheng's words reminded Gu Chang.

"You're right." He murmured, "Miss, she didn't want this marriage. Especially Mrs. Li was still kneeling in front of Dad in front of so many people, so that she hadn't had it yet. When you come in, you will have a reputation for unfilial piety, so I don’t want to rush to tell her. Let’s find out about Pei Xiaguang’s side. Anyway, I have to stay here for a few more days, just in time for the eldest lady’s marriage to be completed. go."
