Chapter 170 A Revolution About Scholars IV

In the sixth year of Zhongping, the first day of the first month is the first day of the new year.

morning.

At dawn, the cold wind that had been whistling all night stopped silently, and the snowflakes that had been falling all the time gradually disappeared. In the boundless sky, a piece of blue color appeared.

In the Hou Mansion.

Mu Jing was wearing a bright red robe, like a child, standing in the snow in the courtyard, curled up in balls of snow, and smashed on Zhang Ning: "His Royal Highness, take my move, my move is called Hundred Steps Piercing Yang!" !"

After the New Year's Eve, it was already dawn. When he walked out of the mansion, the snowflakes in the courtyard made him very excited. The snow here was so beautiful that he couldn't help but start a snowball fight with Zhang Ning.

"Don't be ashamed!"

Zhang Ning also seems to have returned to that carefree era, wearing a long red dress, walking in the snow, bending over from time to time to roll up snow balls, and then smashing on Mu Jing without a word: " Look at me, if I don't deal with you, I won't be a saint of Taiping Dao!"

"As far as your tricks are concerned, let's save it!"

"Dare to underestimate me, I will let you know how powerful my Highness is!"

"Hey, you can meet me talking!"

"Stand, die!"

"..."

The two of them came and went, their bodies were stained with a lot of snowflakes, and they had a lot of fun.

Whether it's Mu Jing or Zhang Ning, in fact, if their identities are not counted, they are nothing more than fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys and girls, and the responsibilities imposed on them have faded away. At this moment, they are their true nature.

"My lord, someone is visiting outside the mansion!"

Huo Yu didn't want to disturb Mu Jing's interest, but at this time there are guests coming, so the master Mu Jing really has to entertain them.

"who?"

Mu Jing patted the snowflakes on his body, feeling a little disappointed, and asked.

"Xi Zhicai, there are a few scholars by his side!"

"Ha ha!"

The unhappiness on Mujing's face disappeared, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "It seems that he fished people out!"

Naturally, Jian Shuo would not let him go directly. He followed Mujing's suggestion and threw him to the Luoyang government office. How the Luoyang government office handles it has nothing to do with Xiyuan. After all, Yingchuan Academy is the representative of Yingchuan scholars. Lin, there's still a lot of energy, so it's not surprising that Xi Zhi was able to get people out.

in the hall.

Mu Jing stepped in and saw four young men dressed as scholars standing, he quickly cupped his hands: "Brother Zhicai, happy new year!"

"Brother Longtu, you are being polite!"

Xi Zhicai was a little thin, he said with a smile: "Brother Longtu is disturbed by the new year, please don't take offense to brother Longtu!"

"Brother Zhicai, you are being polite!" Mu Jing knelt down, summoned the young servants to serve him, began to serve tea, and then said: "It is my honor, Mu Jing, that you can come to visit us to celebrate the New Year!"

"Let me introduce you to Brother Longtu!"

Xi Zhicai pointed to the three young people beside him: "These three are my classmates, Du Xi, Han Xu, and Song Nan!"

"I have seen the world!"

The three of them just saluted in vain. Although they didn't say anything, there was a hint of disdain in their eyes.

"Everyone is not polite!" Mu Jing smiled. Although he could see that the three were reluctant to salute, he didn't say anything. He saved them, but he also acted in their hearts as an eunuch. Naturally, they don't get their respect.

"Do you still have the etiquette of Yingchuan Academy, knowing the favor and repaying it, don't you know such a simple thing?" Xi Zhicai saw the perfunctory intention of the three of them, and immediately shouted at the three of them.

"Thank you so much!"

Han Xu was rather arrogant. He murmured to himself, although the voice was not loud, but the people in the hall could still hear him: "It's just an eunuch anyway!"

"Bastard!"

Mujing couldn't bear it, but Huo Yu beside him couldn't help it: "My family's son, to save you, worked so hard, and even paid a hundred gold, to clear this person, Jian Shuo, without asking you to know. En Tubao, but you and others act like this, this is the students of Yingchuan Academy, really disappointed!"

"Zhongheng!"

"My son, he can bear it, but I can't help it!"

"Go down!"

"No!" Huo Yu stood up indignantly, glared at the three of them before walking down.

"Brother Longtu, I brought them here today to thank Brother Longtu for his help. If it weren't for Brother Longtu, I'm afraid they would suffer a big loss, but I didn't expect them to have such an attitude. Zhicai is ashamed of you! "Xi Zhicai was a little ashamed, and said with cupped hands.

He thought that Mu Jing was just saying please, but he didn't expect Mu Jing to spend nearly a hundred gold for this matter.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands, Brother Zhicai, don't worry about it."

Mu Jing waved his hand, and said modestly: "They are right, I, Mu Jing, just rely on Shi Changshi to survive in Luoyang now!"

"Brother Longtu's affection, I, Xi Zhi, have accepted it!" Xi Zhicai felt a little bit of Mu Jing's atmosphere, and also had some changes in Mu Jing's character, and even thought that Mu Jing was a scholar worthy of association.

"My son, although I don't like eunuchs!"

At this time, among the three youths, the younger youth cupped his hands and said: "No matter what you say, it is a great kindness for the prince to save me from the eunuchs, and I will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Your name is Du Xi?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes. He seemed to feel that the name was a little familiar. It should be recorded in a certain period of history. In fact, in the Three Kingdoms, military generals and advisers emerged in endlessly. He can remember, but only a small number of them are immortal. It's just people, and there are still a large part of them that he can't remember.

"Exactly!"

This person's name is Du Xi, and he has not yet reached the crown. He is wearing a cloth robe, and he looks good. His eyes are a little steady, and he doesn't show much contempt.

"I don't mind everyone calling me an eunuch, and I don't mind you treating me as a member of Shi Changshi's party!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "You look down on me, I look down on myself, I don't think this is What a disgrace!"

"Why did your son say that?" Song Nan asked. He was a little thin, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his eyes were very sharp. He looked at Mujing and said coldly: "My son is a scholar. He once became famous as a scholar. But willing to be the eunuch's henchmen, reduced to the eagle dog of the ten permanent servants, wouldn't it be willing to degenerate!"

"In your hearts, who is the hero, who is the pillar of the court!" Mu Jing asked.

"Naturally, it's Sikong today. He comes from a prominent family of four generations and three generations. He is also a great Confucianist among scholars and a pillar of the imperial court. Can't he be praised as a hero?" Han Xu said.

"Ha ha!"

Mu Jing smiled, with such sarcasm: "But in my heart, Yuan Feng is just a villain, and the four generations and three princes are just his family, so what has nothing to do with him? His knowledge has nothing to do with his ability, he has the position of Sikong, but is feared by His Majesty, has no intention of repaying the king, but has selfishness, if the court relies on him, I am afraid that the dynasty will have changed!"

"presumptuous!"

"How can you be so rude!"

The faces of the three sank, quite angry.

"You talk about one eunuch and one eunuch, but do you know who gave Shichangshi today's power?" Mu Jing said coldly.

"They are just deceiving His Majesty!"

Han Xu gritted his teeth and said.

The power of the ten permanent servants comes from the emperor, which makes the ten permanent servants unscrupulous in Luoyang City.

"Your Majesty today is wise and decisive. He has been on the throne for [-] years and has quelled countless chaos. How can he be such a monarch who is so easily deceived!" , but no one can use it. Only by using cronies can the court be maintained. You have read books for so many years, but you only see the domineeringness of the ten servants, but you can't see the role of the ten servants. How short-sighted!"

"Is there any role for the existence of the ten permanent attendants?"

"Apart from being arrogant and domineering, harming the common people, corrupting money, and bewitching the emperor... what else can they do?"

"Is it balance?"

Mujing's words made the few people in the lobby a little bit cold. They are all scholars, and their thinking is not rigid, so they will naturally think about things that they usually ignore.

"Brother Longtu, goodbye!"

Xi Zhicai took a step forward, bowed to Mujing again, and said with a smile: "Three of us, there must be my teacher. Although Brother Longtu is younger than me, he is not inferior to me in learning and understanding. I hope he can do it in the future." Discuss with Brother Longtu more!"

The ten permanent servants are notorious in Shilin, but it is undeniable that they do have a meaning of existence, which is recognized by Xi Zhi.

"you are welcome!"

Mujing quickly restrained his emotions, and said: "I just have my own opinion, don't count!"

Although he said so, some words entered other people's ears as soon as they were spoken, and they would more or less cause them to reflect.

Mu Jing thought for a while, looked at the expressions of these people, and suddenly said: "Looking at the expressions of these people, I guess they don't want to have anything to do with my eunuchs, but I am doing you a favor by saying this. If this kindness is not repaid, you will not be able to understand your thoughts. In this case, I will give you a chance, as long as you work for me for ten days, then you will be able to settle all grievances and grievances!"

"This statement is true!"

"I, Mulongtu, keep my word!"

"My son, please tell me!"

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other left and right, and then said together.

They also don't want to owe Mujing's favor, the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay, and the most important thing is to not change their minds and feel uneasy. They are all well-read people, if their thoughts cannot be understood, everything will not go well.

"Recently, I want to sell some books and scholars from all over the world, but there are a little few scholars in my hand, and there is a lack of people who sit in town!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "Since you are students of Yingchuan, you should be well-educated in poetry and books, so you are willing to sit in town for me. day!"

If there are not one or two scholars who sell books in the study, people will look down on them. After all, most of the buyers and sellers are scholars.

"That's it?" The three of them couldn't believe it. They were already prepared to let Mujing Lion speak loudly about something they couldn't do, but they didn't expect such an easy thing.

"this one!"

"Okay, I'll take it down!" Han Xu made the decision, and asked three people to take it down.

Among the ranks of merchants and merchants, only those who buy and sell the Four Treasures of the Study, isolated books, etc., are not discriminated against, and in their minds, a study is nothing more, and there are not many things to do, and only a few books are bought and sold. Readers who buy books will do.

"Zhongheng!"

"Here!" Huo Yu had been waiting outside, and when he heard the call, he came in immediately.

"Take them to get acquainted with the study shop. Our study will open the day after tomorrow. They will sit in person and get acquainted with scholars from all walks of life!"

"promise!"

Huo Yu squinted at the three of them, his attitude was a bit stiff, he smiled coldly, and said, "You three, please!"

After the three youths left with Huo Yu, Mu Jing finally showed a smile.

"Brother Zhicai laughs at you with grace and self-respect!"

"You are helping them!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "They are all the proud sons of our Yingchuan. They usually have high eyes but low hands. If they have caused trouble, if there is anything wrong with them, I will apologize to Brother Longtu!"

He didn't want to stand out at first, but these few students are humble scholars after all. As a humble scholar, he understands better than anyone else that it is difficult for humble scholars to study. Originally, they were a head lower than those nobles in the academy. It's hard to have a future, if something happens and I don't help them, I'm afraid they will die.

"Help them? Not necessarily!"

The corner of Mujing's mouth raised a meaningful smile: "They don't blame me in the future, that's fine!"

He is not a saint, and the people who help him are still looked down upon by others. If he doesn't say anything, he feels a little unhappy in his heart. Naturally, he used a little trick, and soon these three young people will become the targets of the gentry. Some of them regret it when the time comes.
