I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 553 Let’s go to Chang’an
Song Mu announced his return in his own way, which also pushed Gu Shifan's birthday banquet to a new height.

Such a flamboyant and wild way was done after careful consideration by Song Mu. Although Gu Shifan's current predicament is not clear to him, he also knows that it is difficult to move forward, and that person is making things difficult behind his back.

At this moment, Song Mu, who is the son-in-law, has the strength of the Imperial Academy, even if he does not participate in the water transportation that Gu Shifan is in charge of, he still has to use his own strength to find peace for the Gu family.

Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, many people came, and the Gu family was full of people for a while.

Song Mu has already retreated to the backyard, and the protagonist of this birthday should be Taishan Shifan.

At the moment in the backyard, Song Mu was talking with several disciples from Jinling.

These are all Juren that Song Mu knew when he was giving lectures in Jinling. At this moment, Gu Zhizhi is also among them, and he is talking with Song Mu.

"Song Zhuangyuan, we just said that it is impossible for you to fall into the sand in the western border like that. We are very happy to return this time."

Several people nodded one after another, and Song Mu bowed to them at the moment, and knew that everyone used to speak for themselves, so they were all good friends.

"Song Mu is ashamed, I really bothered you all."

Everyone also bowed their hands one after another, their faces were a little embarrassed, and there was even a bit of reverence. What Song Mu said just now made everyone feel that Song Mu at this moment is the real literati.

At this time, Gu Zhizhi who was next to him hesitated for a moment, but said to Song Mu.

"Song Zhuangyuan, in fact, we came here to confirm your return, and secondly, we wanted Song Zhuangyuan to help us solve an urgent need."

Hearing this, Song Mu was taken aback, and motioned for Gu Zhizhi to continue.

"At the beginning when the number one scholar gave lectures in Jinling, I was enlightened, and then formed an association here in Jinling, based on the practice that the number one scholar of Song Dynasty said."

"In the beginning, we lived in peace, and even the scholars like me have made progress, but in the past two years, the government seems not to allow us to form associations, especially saying that our theory is crooked."

"During this period of time, there is still that literati in the city who speaks rudely, and the government wants to ban it, so I wait..."

Song Mu, who heard this, understood what the other party meant, and said this time with his hands clasped.

"Knowing about this, Mr. Song will speak a few words of justice for you all. We, the Wen Dynasty, want to advocate literature and culture. Such suppression is unreasonable."

Hearing what Song Mu said, everyone was happy. At this moment, they only felt that the matter had some clues, but at this moment, a voice sounded from the side.

"I know what you are talking about. This matter is complicated, but the old man can deal with it for you, and you don't need to worry too much."

Hearing these words, everyone turned around suddenly, and saw that the person who came was actually Lord Inspector, everyone's faces were a little frustrated, and Song Mu quickly bowed and cupped his hands.

But Governor Lai just waved his hand, and immediately said a few words of encouragement to everyone, and they left very tactfully.

There were also Gu Chengxiu and Sun Qinghe in the courtyard, they both wanted to get up, but Governor Lai stretched out his hand to stay behind them, they all sat down and looked at Governor Lai.

Song Mu poured tea for Lai Inspector. Lai Inspector Lai took a sip of the tea and looked at Song Mu again, with a look of curiosity and worry on his face. After a while, he put down his teacup and sighed softly.

"Song Zhuangyuan, I look at you with admiration."

"Regardless of essays, Taoism and martial arts, in the Wen Dynasty, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare with you."

Inspector Lai said something very emotional, and Gu Chengxiu and Sun Qinghe beside him also smiled. At this moment, Sun Qinghe also looked at Song Mu, and spoke immediately.

"Nephew Xian's level of cultivation is already comparable to Lan Xian's. Alas, I found out about you that day. It's really..."

Sun Qinghe sighed, but waved his hands and said that there is no need to talk about the past, only that Song Mu's age and state are now the attention of Wenchao, and what will happen in the future is beyond the ability of a few people to see through.

Song Mu grinned and cupped his hands.

At this moment, several people asked Song Mu about other matters, but then changed the topic, Nai Shishi suddenly looked at Song Mu, and said.

"What is Song Zhuangyuan's plan after he returns to Jinling?"

Several people looked at it one after another, Song Mu was taken aback for a moment, lowered his eyes and said.

"Now Song Mu naturally wants to accompany his family. As for other things, maybe we need to think about it in the long run."

Hearing this, Inspector Lai lowered his eyes, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Song Mu, and said.

"The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty, when do you plan to go to Chang'an?"

The few people who heard this were stunned, and Sun Qinghe frowned even more, and said this time to Governor Lai without hesitation.

"My lord, you..."

Song Mu was also taken aback, and hesitated to answer right now.

Governor Lai also knew the reason, but he sighed and said.

"Song Zhuangyuan, although Chang'an is not suitable for you, but what the old man said has something in mind."

Song Mu looked at the other party, and Governor Lai spoke to Song Mu immediately.

"Song Zhuangyuan has not been in the Wen Dynasty for a few years, do you know how His Majesty is doing?"

Song Mu couldn't help but tense up when he heard this, and said quickly at this moment.

"What did your lord say, your majesty is different now?"

Song Mu seemed to have heard something different from it. During this period of time, he was eager to go home, and he really had no way of knowing about the court affairs. Hearing it now, he was also puzzled.

But Gu Chengxiu and Sun Qinghe, who were listening, glanced at each other, and the person who came to him actually lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent.

Inspector Nalai pursed his lips, and then said.

"To tell you the truth, as the old man knows, His Majesty is in poor health."

"In the past few years, for some reason, His Majesty's health has been deteriorating. Even the great Confucianists don't know the reason. They only know that His Majesty has become sick from overwork, his cultivation has stagnated, and his body is aging quickly."

Song Mu got up suddenly, and immediately felt that there was something wrong with it, but Lai Shishi just looked at Song Mu, and immediately said with a sigh.

"Song Zhuangyuan, the old man wants you to go to Chang'an, but it is because the faction in the Wen Dynasty is more serious now, and His Majesty is giving orders wantonly. The court seems to be in chaos."

"Now that the Eastern Palace is weak, coupled with the turmoil in all directions, Chang'an, in our eyes, there is already chaos."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Chengxiu who was next to him coughed, and Sun Qinghe also frowned slightly, and said with a grin.

"Your Excellency's words are probably overwhelmed. Although Feng Xiang and Tan Xiang are different, but the government orders are well-understood, the Wen Dynasty today is considered to be half a prosperous age."

Song Mu's expression paused when he heard this, and he roughly understood Lai Cishi's meaning, but at this moment he slightly lowered his eyes, thinking a little.

"Master Sun's words are true, the old man also thought that he was worrying too much, but why..."

"The champion doesn't have to feel difficult. In the current situation, I don't want the champion to turn the tide, but think of the champion to solve problems for His Majesty."

"The number one scholar is now in the Hanlin realm, and he can already do a lot of things."

Song Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Lai Shishi's words may be a bit too flattering, but Song Mu did have the idea of ​​going to Chang'an.

Now with this strength, what I can do is no longer so simple.

It's just that Song Mu didn't expect that Chang'an today would look like this.

Song Mu didn't understand what the reason was, and he wondered whether there was something about demons in it.

After a while, Song Mu looked up to the north, then lowered his eyes and said.

"Thank you, sir, for your advice. Song Mu will think about this matter carefully."

"Chang'an should go, just this time, it should not be like that again."
