The news about the surrender of Guo Yaoshi Chang Shengjun spread throughout the city and became the focus of everyone's after-dinner talk in the past two days. At the same time, in Bianliang City, the people at the top of the Wu Dynasty pyramid who promoted the implementation of this matter were also

Feel the joyful results in the afterglow of victory.

In the past year, the Jin people's offensive has been fierce, and they have conquered nearly half of the land of the Liao Kingdom. With each ebb and flow, it can almost be said to have sounded the death knell of the Liao Kingdom. Many people in the Wu Dynasty court believed in "the more you gain, the more help you get."

According to the principle of "unjust people have few helpers", recruiting the Ever Victorious Army over at this time is the best proof of this principle.

Since the beginning of the war, the forces in the imperial court that advocate war and peace have been tilted quite seriously, but there are still a considerable number of people in the peace faction. And the war faction is not united, and the subtle situation of successive defeats in the subsequent war

middle, gradually divided into two parts, one part

The troops at the front were required to fight hard and show their strength, so that they would be able to speak more easily in subsequent negotiations with the Jin people. The other faction, due to repeated defeats, began to advocate that their own strength should be preserved, strategize with military tactics, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting for Jin and Liao to be defeated.

Injury, and then take advantage of the situation to benefit.

These two theories were available from the beginning, but they were clearly separated after the war situation changed. But no matter what, the bottom line of the main war faction is to regain Youyan, at least not to let the main peace faction gain the upper hand. When the victory is always

The news of the army's surrender was confirmed. Among everyone, there was still

The latter's voice gained the upper hand. At this time, the north stood still, and Tong Guan led the imperial army to the north. Before the war started again, Guo Yaoshi surrendered, which was in line with the style of a king in heaven. For most people, this is

This is a sign of the opportunity for the resurgence of the Wu Dynasty.

The voices are enthusiastic and the people are united. At this time, the way to celebrate is of course various banquets and gatherings. In the past two days, the merchants who hosted various parties in Bianliang City made a fortune, and the brothels and Chu houses also made a lot of money.

Several cultural events were held in great detail,

A talented man named Yu Shaoyuan wrote "Ode to the King" in the Jingsi Garden. It was rated as one of the rare masterpieces in the past century. It has the style of the Tang Dynasty, and the article is parallel to four and six, and it eloquently explains the Wu Dynasty.

The inevitability of returning to a prosperous age, the literary talent is breathtaking.

A prosperous literary career can naturally be regarded as a sign of a prosperous world, and no one will have any objection to this. After writing "Ode to the King", this man from Shaoyuan won the favor of Ji Wanqing, the oiran of the capital, in the past two days.

During that time, it became a good story spread in the capital, and it was vaguely comparable to Zhou Bangyan, Zheng Shuhe, Wang Yuanshi and Xie Daosan, who were known as the four great talents in the capital at that time.

These things are the most popular trends in this era, and they cannot be circumvented no matter where they are. In the Youxiang Mansion that afternoon, there were several people circulating and discussing the "Ode to the King". This is from the Youxiang Mansion.

The east courtyard is very close to the study room where Qin Siyuan usually works. There are many books and papers in the room.

It also proves that these people are Qin Siyuan's trusted aides or masters. One of them is a middle-aged monk with a handsome appearance, and the other three are thirty, forty, and fifty years old.

Their temperaments are mature and steady, but their age seems to be written on their faces, which makes people feel this way at a glance.

"... eloquent and majestic. Yu Shaoyuan can be called a genius in literary talent... He is only in his early twenties this year. It reminds me of Wang Zi'an..." After reading the poem, it was the five-year-old who spoke.

The ten-year-old man shook his head

Praise. The Prince An he spoke of was Wang Bo, one of the Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty who wrote the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion". Those who can serve as staff in the Youxiang Mansion are all people with outstanding literary talents. This old man can compare with Prince An in Yu Shaoyuan,

It is enough to prove the other party's achievements.

However, after he said this, he immediately received a disapproving rebuttal. The speaker was a man in his thirties who was writing at a desk not far away. He raised his eyebrows and said: "The literary talent is good, but it is just empty talk.

Sigh, the argument is not enough, if only the king's righteousness can rejuvenate the country and bring peace to the country... Well, although it is not unreasonable, but in this case, Nian Gong, what are we doing?"

"He is only in his early twenties, so his literary talent is enough. Not to mention the rejuvenation of the country and the peace of the country should be based on kingly principles. This is not wrong. Haha, Zhouhai, why should you mind." The old man known as Nian Gong laughed.

He smiled, and in front of the window on the other side, the monk who was drinking tea raised his head: "If you are a literary scholar, I might be able to compete with Zhou Meicheng, but... I'm afraid I still can't compare to the One Night Fish and Dragon Dance who is coming up...

"

"That's a different person. There's no need to compare them." The man in his thirties said, and the monk by the window nodded.

Among the people, there was a middle-aged man in his forties who looked dignified, but seemed to be relatively taciturn. Although he listened to a few people talking, he never participated in them. If he were outside, the few people present would be small.

Fame can even scare people in many places.

The old man known as Nian Gong had a surname of Yao and his name was Yao Zunian. He was Qin Siyuan's staff when he was young. He was very knowledgeable. Although he had followed Qin Siyuan before, he was also very famous in the official circles. Qin Siyuan resigned.

After that, Ben

It can still give him a future, and even his own reputation is enough to switch to anyone's name. However, after experiencing the Blackwater Alliance, his utilitarian heart has also faded. It's just that when Qin Siyuan came back this time,

Then he came over to help.

A middle-aged man in his forties named Ji Kun was originally a servant of Qin Siyuan when he was young. He later studied and learned with Qin Siyuan and became one of Qin Siyuan's first disciples. However, what this man was good at was not poetry and literary talent, but poetry and literary talent.

It is to actually do things and arrange others to do things. Although it looks dignified and even a bit dull, in fact

When Qin Siyuan was managing the staff, many people had experienced how ruthless this person was. When Qin Siyuan was dismissed from office earlier, he did not want him to follow him to Jiangning and become a housekeeper in the end, so he asked him to go to the north with the Secret Investigation Department. Qin Siyuan

After his recovery, he came back from the Liao Kingdom. It seemed that he had not changed much, but he was even more silent than before.

The man in his thirties was originally a disciple of Qin Siyuan. His surname was Cheng, his given name was Fang, and his courtesy name was Zhouhai. He had not studied with Qin Siyuan for a long time, but he had a rather cynical personality. He was quite talented in Daming Mansion, and he also had some talents in the capital.

People know him. In the early years, he used his good poems to impress others.

In the literary arena, he was a guest of the courtesan, and occasionally his name appeared in the eyes of some people. But until now, he has not made much achievements in the officialdom and literary circles, and his ambitions have not been

Not here, Qin Siyuan called him over after his resurrection, and he came over too.

As for the monk, he is really famous in the capital. His monastic name is Jueming. He was originally the son of the county king. He was handsome and talented when he was young. Later he became a monk and shocked the capital. Although his talents were not as good as those of Yao ancestors.

He is young and erudite, but his talent in poetry is firmly ahead of the other three, because he is already a

Due to his status as a monk, no one in the capital included him among the four great talents. But compared to Zhou Bangyan, his reputation was not necessarily any worse. Although Zen Master Jueming became a monk, he did not practice hard.

But I have a wide circle of friends and it is easy to make friends. At this time, I am in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. It is not as a staff member, but as a friend.

Qin Siyuan was not in the mansion this afternoon. A few people chatted for a while. A servant came over to report the matter and talked to Ji Kun. Ji Kun went out for a while, and after a while, he brought someone in with a smile. Yao Zunian took a look at it and then laughed.

He stood up and said, "Fu Er. I almost didn't recognize him."

Naturally, the person who came was Wenren Buer who came from the dock. He stood at the door and bowed his hands in greeting: "Mr. Yao... Zen Master Jueming. I haven't seen you two gentlemen for a long time. Ah, Zhou Hai..."

Wen Renfu'er is about the same age as Cheng Zhouhai, but he is younger in appearance. Everyone had met him a few years ago. In fact, several people in the room knew about the Secret Investigation Department. In fact, Jueming

The identity and relationship behind it are the same as those of Kang Xian who are currently supporting the secret investigation.

One of Si’s protective umbrellas. Everyone already knew that Wen Renfu’er was coming here and what he had done in Hangzhou. They had seen each other with smiles. Cheng Zhouhai subconsciously looked out the door several times.

After Wenren Fuji found out, he was a little confused: "What are Zhouhai looking at?"

Yao Zunian laughed at the side: "I'm afraid he is watching the one-night fish and dragon dance. Since Fuji has arrived, why didn't Mr. Ning come?"

Hearing him talk about Ning Yi, Wenren Buer laughed and told about Ning Yi's search for a place to live. Then he looked at Cheng Zhouhai and thought of the reason: "Then Ning Liheng's actions are indeed similar to Zhou Hai's.

They are very similar, and Zhou Hai has been known for his poetry in the past. Could it be that he is just out of curiosity and wants to find someone to compare with?"

Cheng Zhouhai has a somewhat cynical temperament. Although he is very good at poetry and prose, he used to be a bit disdainful of literary exchanges. According to him, he was very disgusted with those who were not up to par and deliberately showed off and flattered each other. This was a distaste for others.

I've known it since the past two

But Ning Yi's poems should be able to suppress his disdain. He thought of this and said it, but Cheng Zhouhai smiled, shook his head and waved his hand: "It's not because of this... Hey,

I'm afraid Young Master Sixteen will be criticized again now..."

He murmured with a hint of joking. Yao Zunian and Jueming on the side frowned and looked at each other: "Yes, where did Shao Yu go?"

Ji Kun said: "I'm afraid I went out to play with those young men again."

Wenren Buer couldn't help but feel a little confused. After asking, he found out about Ning Yi's visit to Beijing. Qin Siyuan sent someone early in the morning to prepare for the reception. This person was a nephew of Qin Siyuan in his hometown. Although he and Ning Yi were dismissed from office.

People are nothing

However, after Qin Siyuan came back to power, many people from the Qin family came to the capital to ask for care. In addition to getting money and food, those who wanted to be officials were also sent to several young masters who were their nephews, asking Qin Siyuan to discipline them on their behalf.

A future.

Once he sat in the position of the right prime minister, such things were almost endless, but Qin Siyuan couldn't refuse and ignore them. Although he could push some away, there were always some people who stayed in the right prime minister's house. It was Qin Siyuan's choice.

The qualifications are relatively good. The 16th Young Master Qin Shaoyu is one of them.

It's just that these people were already in their teens or twenties when they were sent here. Qin Siyuan could no longer teach people how to behave, he could only teach how to do things. But no matter how majestic he was, he couldn't really overwhelm his family. In the past year, these people

As soon as the young men came to the capital, the first thing they contracted was all kinds of problems that wealthy young men cannot avoid. They went out in groups to play, participate in cultural gatherings, and play games.

In the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, what was typed was in the name of Young Master of Youxiang Mansion. Qin Siyuan had dealt with it several times, and even used family law, but everything in Youxiang Mansion still seemed rushed. This year, he mainly

Dealing with matters related to the Northern Expedition and making up for the vacancies in work over the past few years, the various rules at home have not been settled over time, and it is beyond his power to completely close them.

This time Ning Yi and others came up. He estimated the time and asked Qin Shaoyu to go to the dock every day to wait and bring the two "brothers" to the house in time. In the old man's opinion, maybe Ning Yi and Wen Renbuer could help him.

The ideas of juniors are as good as their ability

It is always good for one's own nephew to make friends with other people. But firstly, the estimated date is unclear, and secondly, there are all kinds of changes on the way. Qin Shaoyu's temperament can't really care about this matter every day, so he will miss it now, and he will be in trouble later.

The old man scolded him.

After hearing this, Wen Ren Fu Er smiled bitterly for a while. If Qin Shaoyu was scolded, he would have to take his anger out on himself. No matter how close they are, it is not a good thing. But Yao Zunian and others can see it.

Expressing his worries, Cheng Zhouhai waved his hand: "Don't worry, success is not enough to fail."

It's not enough, the teacher must have some discernment in these matters... To be honest, although it is said that nobles and nobles are like this in every household, there will definitely be people who seek relatives and become disciples. But the Prime Minister's Mansion has completely overthrown everything and started over.

Yes, they came here all at once during this period. The teacher and the wife were all too disturbed..."

He paused: "However, I really want to see Ning Liheng as soon as possible. The teacher also told him to come to the house as soon as possible... but you guessed the reason wrong."

Wenren Fujian frowned and thought for a while: "I know he and the teacher have been friends for many years, but... isn't it because of the poems?"

"It's not poetry, and it's not Liangshan. Although we are far inferior to what he did in these matters, my teacher, Nian Gong and Master Jueming all discussed it later. This Ning Gongzi thinks about things... and breaks the topic.

The method is probably a little different from ordinary people. The teacher said that he is a stranger, but there are not such people. But what is really thought-provoking is this...I didn't notice it at first..."
To be continued...
