In addition to Chen Jialuo and Emperor Qianlong, Su Yang could tell that he had never heard another voice before, but somehow, it felt familiar.
There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity, the feeling that you have never heard of it, but as soon as you hear it, you feel that you should have heard it.
Just listen to that voice saying: "It goes without saying that this poem, Lord Master, is of great literary talent and grandeur. What's even more rare is that in just one sentence, it depicts a picture of the prosperous age of the Qing Dynasty, which was even included in the imperial court's regulations.
, down to the common people, every word is carved into the wood, quite like the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival, which depicts the three thousand characters of Bianliang."
He paused and then said: "But the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival is nearly twenty feet long. It is carved and carved in a realistic way. It only describes the scenery of half of the city. It is not very difficult and the intention is mediocre. And the master
There are only forty-nine words in my poem, but it summarizes the grand situation of the world. It contains the essence of Buddhism and the world hidden in a grain of sand, and it also has the magnanimity of macro-control. Of course, this is only one meaning, in my opinion
When the slaves heard this, they not only admired and admired the prosperous age, but also had two other emotions."
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you could understand the meaning of this poem so deeply. You said there are two levels of concepts, what are those?"
The voice from before said: "This first level is to think of several prosperous times in China over the past thousands of years, such as the rule of Wenjing in the Western Han Dynasty, the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, and the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.
. But the rule of Wenjing was a rule of inaction. The king followed Lao Zhuang, and although the people were peaceful, the country did nothing. However, the rule of Zhenguan had the stain of killing his brother and imprisoning his father. Only Kang and Qian of the Qing Dynasty
In the prosperous age, it began with the great talents of the saint ancestors. Through the hard work of the late emperors, up to now, your majesty has nine martial arts. It has accumulated thousands of years of civilized economy and great achievements, and it has reached its peak. Every time I think of this, the slave will feel excited and congratulate himself on how good he is.
Having such great luck to be born in this world is the first level.
As for the second level, the meaning is deeper. I am not afraid of Mr. Lu’s jokes. The villain is also a man of fame. After listening to my master’s poem, I feel that it is good for scholars like me and people in the world.
It is full of encouragement. As a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, we must serve our country loyally, serve our master loyally, follow the current Holy Emperor, and continue our prosperous Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. This is the superficial knowledge of a slave."
After listening to these two words of flattery, Su Yang finally knew who this person was. The Qing Dynasty had a history of more than 270 years, and there were countless civil and military ministers, big and small, but he was able to adapt to the situation quickly and was able to flatter him so well. It was gratifying.
But not annoying, sweet but not greasy, fluffy but not smelly, and the flattery contains a strong sense of attachment and loyalty, only Heshen and your Excellency are the only ones.
The Mr. Lu in his mouth was Chen Jialuo. Chen Jialuo did not know that this man was Qianlong at this time. He only thought that this man was a relative of the emperor who went out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, or an imperial minister or something, so he changed his name to Lu Jiacheng, and Qianlong also
He gave himself a false name, Dongfang Er.
After Emperor Qianlong heard this, he seemed quite happy and said with a smile: "You are not afraid of Mr. Lu making fun of you, and your flattery will offend other people. However, although the first few meanings of yours are suspected of flattery,
But the last sentence is quite right. All the people of the Qing Dynasty must serve the imperial court. They can be wives and children, and all the people in the world can enjoy peace and tranquility. Mr. Lu, I see that your conversation is extraordinary.
I must be from a noble family, but I wonder what official position your lord is currently occupying? What is your reputation?"
Then I heard Chen Jialuo say: "Xian Yan has unfortunately passed away. My younger brother is mediocre and has no chance of fame or fortune."
Qianlong said again: "Listening to my brother's conversation, I can see that he is a great talent. Is it because he has no purpose in academics and politics that he failed in the examination room?"
Chen Jialuo said: "That's not true."
Qianlong said: "The governor of Zhejiang here is a close friend of my brother. I will drive to see him tomorrow. I don't know if we may meet him by chance."
Chen Jialuo said: "Brother, thank you very much for your kindness. It's just that I have no intention of becoming an official."
Qianlong said: "But can my brother be buried for the rest of his life?"
Chen Jialuo said: "Instead of killing the people and trying to succeed, it is better to drag your tail in the mud."
This sentence is a bit excessive. Although it is literate, it is more serious than what Yu Yutong said to Su Yang at the city gate. It means: instead of killing the people to achieve his own goals, he can be promoted.
To get rich, it is better to drag your tail in the mud and be an ordinary person.
It will take ten years for scholars to rebel, but when it comes to cursing people, they use sharp words, heart-breaking words, and not even a single curse word. Doesn't this mean that the entire imperial court is a person who "ruins the people to succeed", which I despise.
Are you complicit in this?
The entire imperial court is full of people like this, and the emperor still claims to be a "prosperous age". Then this emperor is not a very foolish king, or at least a very confused king.
Then there was no sound, and both parties were a little embarrassed.
When Su Yang heard this, he turned out from behind the rocks and walked straight towards the pavilion where they were.
Strange to say, none of the blue-clad guards on the way stopped him. When Chen Jialuo went up the mountain, the emperor's guards did not dare to stop him. That was because he looked similar to Qianlong, and was similar to Qianlong's illegitimate son Fukangan in the novel.
They are almost exactly the same. Could it be that I also look similar to them?
Inside the pavilion, sitting on a stone table was a man dressed as a gentleman, about forty years old, with a slim appearance and a noble bearing. He was Qianlong. Next to him stood two strong men and a skinny, short old man.
They were all wearing blue cloth robes.
A young scholar-looking man sat opposite him, with a slight resemblance between his eyes and brows. This was Chen Jialuo. Behind him stood the scholar Xinyan, who later became the fifteenth head of the Red Flower Club.
But these people are not in Su Yang's eyes!
What really surprised Su Yang was that a young man stood next to Qianlong with his head bowed and a smile as bright as the spring breeze on his face.
His smile is light and not annoying. On the contrary, it makes you feel comfortable when you see him. It is not the kind of flattery you imagined, but a kind of sincerity from the heart. Seeing his smile, any emperor will definitely believe it.
This person is surrendered and admired from the inside out.
This person seems to be born with a trustworthy temperament, as if as long as he stands there, even if he does nothing, he will make people feel safe and secure.
In terms of appearance alone, this man is as handsome as a crown jewel, gentle and elegant, but not stupid and stupid. He can be called a handsome man. Even Qianlong and Chen Jialuo are not as good as him.
Of course, this is the most beautiful man, the most corrupt official, the most capable minister in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, He Shenhe.
What surprised Su Yang the most was that this guy actually looked 45% similar to himself!
No wonder no guard dared to stop him along the way. Now Mr. He seems to be the minister in charge of the guards and the immediate boss of these guards! Most of these people regard themselves as He Shen's younger brother He Lin.
This is a recognition party!
Qianlong and Chen Jialuo were both a little surprised when they saw someone else coming. Especially Qianlong, who glared hard at the old man behind him. It was obvious why he let in another unrelated person.
This also shows Qianlong's favor for He Shen. The old man's name was Bai Zhen, and he was just the leader of the bodyguards. If he was derelict in his duties, the first person who should be scolded was He Shen, the minister in charge of the bodyguards, not him.
He Shen raised his eyes and looked at Su Yang, a hint of unexpected surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
"Excuse me, I just heard some people talking loudly here, and their words were extraordinary. I can't help but come and see the true face of Mount Lu." Su Yang clasped his fists and said with a smile.
"Since we are destined, please take a seat." Qianlong nodded, but his eyes fell on Su Yang's hair, then looked at the sword on Su Yang's waist, and said lightly: "Looking at this man's dress, he must be a member of the martial arts world.
People."
"The world is the rivers and lakes. Aren't the three of us all members of the rivers and lakes?" Su Yang said.
Qianlong said: "This is plausible and untrue. The rivers and lakes are stormy and the waves are rough, and the situation is precarious. But in the rivers and lakes, there must be a big boat. When you get on the boat, you don't have to sit in the lake, sit on the bow of the boat, and watch the storm with a smile."
"Maybe the wind and waves are strong and the boat capsizes, that's possible." Chen Jialuo said calmly.
Qianlong was noncommittal and asked Su Yang: "Do you know that there is a gang called the Red Flower Club in the world?"
The chief helmsman of the Red Flower Club was opposite him, but he came to ask Su Yang that Emperor Qianlong was not too shrewd. Su Yang glanced at He Shen seemingly casually, but his eyes moved slightly.
, fell on Chen Jialuo.
Su Yang looked at Chen Jialuo again and saw him looking at him with a smile and silence, so he nodded and said: "The Red Flower Club is the largest gang in the world, so of course you know it."
Qianlong said: "It is a pity that such a large gang cannot be used by the imperial court. I heard that the victims robbed the military supplies of the Western Expedition Army. This incident was caused by the Red Flower Society inciting the victims to cause rebellion."
Chen Jialuo said: "The victims have no food and clothing, and the parents who serve the people have no mercy. They take desperate risks in order to survive. It is understandable that the Red Flower Society cannot bear to see the lives of people in ruins and helps them."
Qianlong said: "From this point of view, this so-called No. 1 gang is nothing more than a group of grassroots bandits who use force to disrupt the law and have short-sightedness. I understand that such people are not a big problem."
Chen Jialuo remained calm and asked: "Brother, why do you think so?"
Qianlong said: "Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne, the government is well established. As long as one or two talents are sent to the throne, the Red Flower Society can wipe them out with a raise of their hands."
Chen Jialuo said: "I don't understand the government affairs, so if you make ridiculous remarks, please don't laugh at me. In my humble opinion, most of the people in the imperial court are just people with nothing to do, and they may not be able to accomplish any big things!"
As soon as these words came out, Qianlong and the old and strong man beside him changed their expressions, but He Shen did not change his expression. Instead, he smiled and said: "Since the young master has no intention of official career and wanders around the world, how do you know that the officials of the imperial court are just losers? Is it possible?
I have been paying attention secretly. If this is the case, I don’t know why the young master is here? Could it be that the grapes are sour because you can’t eat them? "
Chen Jialuo retorted: "This gentleman is wrong, precisely because I have traveled all over the country, and what I have seen and heard is that it is not the case. Bureaucrats are greedy, have no moral integrity, and are not engaged in politics. They only focus on flattery.
In the end, I only know how to use power to suppress the people and seek profit, so I have no intention of pursuing an official career."
When He Shen was about to say something, Su Yang laughed and interrupted them with a wave of his hand.
"Since we are out touring the mountains and rivers, why bother talking about these unpleasant things? I just talked about wine bags and rice bags, and my mouth suddenly felt dry and my belly was hungry. I must have good wine, sir. Why don't you bring it out to entertain me?"
Qianlong was used to asking questions, and he was rarely asked. Hearing Su Yang's not very respectful tone, his face sank and he said to Bai Zhen: "Bring me some wine and ask this young master to have a taste."
The old man behind him, Bai Zhen, said yes, waved his hand, and someone brought two large jars of wine from a distance.
Bai Zhendao: "We are rough people, and we have a certain etiquette when it comes to drinking. Guests do as they please. Since the young master wants to drink, he must follow my rules!" (To be continued.)
