Chapter 204 Promise

"Forget it, I have a very good memory. Don't think that I can't remember after you burned the test paper." Jiajing waved his sleeves, and the long sleeves rolled up to his arms.

Sun Dan said calmly: "Retentive memory is the basic skill of a scholar. I heard that His Majesty is also a person with outstanding talents, and the talent and learning in his belly are naturally better than Sun Dan."

"Stop flattering people, I'm not a person who only likes to listen to good things. Sun Qing, you are an honest person, don't learn from the courtiers who say things that don't match your heart. It's night, you go back. Take the exam well, and you will get the honor of Juren, Zhen The big thing depends on you."

Sun Dan: "I'm terrified, I'm leaving."

When Sun Dan left, Jiajing waved his arms, "Hula!", and his long sleeves fell apart.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "Yang Shoufu, you have a lot of talents under your command, even your son is a first-class celebrity in the world, is there no one who bullies me? Hehe, I have a well-educated national scholar who is no less than your son , Now that Enke is going to be opened, when the time comes, let me create a new situation!"

"This Huang Jin is really an idiot. I don't have any talents in my pocket when I Long Qianshi. Only Lu Bing can do it. It's time to train new people."

……

Sun Dan had a heart-to-heart relationship with Jiajing today, it can be said that Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and he won the king's order, and he gained a lot, so he was a little excited.Coming out of the Yuxi Palace Abode, the sky should look like nine o'clock Beijing time in later generations.The ancients went to bed early, and in another hour, the entire city of Beijing will be closed. If you don't leave the imperial city quickly, you may have to spend the night in Xiyuan with the eunuch gate today.

Just as he followed a leading eunuch for a few steps, he saw a person blocking his way ahead.

Looking intently through the night, it was Taoist Wang Li, the master of the White Cloud Temple.

He found himself on his head at such a night, there should be something important.

Sun Dan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly stuffed a piece of silver into the hand of the leading eunuch, and said, "Eunuch, I have a few words to talk to Zhenren Wang, please make it easy for me."

The eunuch already knew Sun Dan, took the money, and walked away with a smile on his face: "Although Mr. Sun is willing to talk to Wang Shenxian, but you can't delay for too long. Otherwise, you won't be able to go home when the city gate is closed. "

Sun Dan thanked him, walked up to Wang Li, and said in a deep voice, "Hi, Mr. Wang. I don't know what advice I can give to Sun Dan at such a late hour."

Wang Li's tone was very flat: "I don't have any other important matters, so I will help someone with a word."

"Who?" Sun Dan knew that this kingly man was not a casual person, and what he said must be very important.

Wang Li: "The day before yesterday, when I went to Emperor Wuzong's mausoleum to look at the dragon's veins, I met a person who said he was an acquaintance of yours, Sun Dan. He was doing hard work on the construction site, and I wanted you to rescue him from the sea of ​​suffering."

Sun Dan was a little confused: "What's that man's name?"

Wang Li: "He said his name is Bi Yun. Well, the words have been brought, and the poor will go!" After speaking, he left in a hurry.

"Bi Yun!" Sun Dan was startled: "Didn't he make great contributions to the emperor, and he cooperated very well with Sun Dan in the battle for the heir apparent. Ordinarily, now that Jiajing is on the throne, this person should be reused." , why was he punished to guard Zhengde's tomb? Could it be... Huang Jin must have done it. No wonder Lu Bing came to me that day, hesitating and telling me to be careful of Huang Jin."

"What exactly does this Huang Jin want to do?"

Sun Dan was a little incomprehensible.

However, now was not the time to think about these issues. He was in a hurry to leave the city, so he put this matter aside and hurried back to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Chen Rong hadn't slept yet, and was reading a book under the lamp.

Feng Zhen also came over, and he didn't pay much attention. He packed his bedding and lay down in the barn with the donkey and a few goats.Although the smell in the barn is a bit strong, as long as you stay there for a long time, you will get used to it.Fortunately, it is midsummer now, so sleeping inside is not afraid of catching cold.

On the second day, Ping Qiuli still did not come.

As soon as he woke up, Feng Zhen came over to say hello.

Sun Dan: "Here we come, tidy up and hire a carriage. Let's go out of town."

"Where to go?"

"You'll know then."

After the carriage was hired, Sun Dan took Feng Zhen out of the house. As soon as he arrived at the lobby of the inn, he saw a group of scholars having breakfast inside.And the Zhang family's father and daughter were also inside, which looked very eye-catching.

The Zhang family's father and daughter had a good breakfast, and because Sun Dan paid for it, the two simply ordered a table of dishes.There are eggs, glutinous rice porridge, and even a few donkey meat on fire.

Seeing Sun Dan come out, Zhang Youcai was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Sun is up, why don't you come and eat?"

"No, take it easy, I have something to go out." Sun Dan smiled: "Brother Ping hasn't come yet, has he?"

"He will definitely come." Zhang Qiangwei said in an affirmative tone, her face flushed slightly.

For some reason, Sun Dan felt a little unhappy.

Zhu Houzhao's mausoleum is located at the foot of a limestone hill in Changping County. After walking for a day on the road, before he reached the ground, he saw a majestic tower with a golden roof and white walls, which looked very eye-catching.

Sun Dan suddenly felt sad and didn't speak for a long time.

The mausoleum of Emperor Zhengde is called Kangling, and it is the joint burial tomb of him and Empress Xia.Because he died young, his mausoleum was built in a hurry this year, and many places have not yet been completed.If Sun Dan hadn't earned 70 taels of silver for him when he cleaned up Pingqiuli, I'm afraid he hasn't been buried yet.

Although the main project of Kangling has been completed, a large sum of expenditure is still required to complete it, and it will take more than ten years to complete it all.

Therefore, here is still a large construction site, full of peasants.The hammer and chisel of the mason's door rang "ding ding dongdong", which made people headache.

When the carriage reached the core area of ​​Emperor Zhengde Jiyang, a eunuch in charge came up to stop the carriage: "Who is it, do you know where this is?"

Sun Dan knew this person. He had met him several times in the Leopard Room before, and his surname seemed to be Wei.

He jumped down from the carriage: "So it's Eunuch Wei, how are you doing?"

Seeing that it was Sun Dan, Eunuch Wei put on a smile: "So it's Mr. Sun. What's so good about our family? Living in the suburbs is not as comfortable as living in the city. By the way, Mr. Sun this time What's the matter here?" He was also a little depressed, when he was working in the Leopard Room, he was at least a manager, and he lived a good life.Now the owner of the palace has changed, and because he is a member of Zhengde, he was sent to Changping to oversee the work.Although it is also a role of stewardship, this kind of national project not only has no money to earn, but if something happens, you have to fill in yourself, which is a thankless job.

Sun Dan: "It's okay, I want to meet an old friend."

Upon hearing these words, the chief eunuch's expression changed, and he carefully looked around: "But you're here to see Eunuch Bi?"

"Eunuch Wei is right." Sun Dan glanced at Eunuch Wei: "Why, don't you let me see you?"

Eunuch Wei was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Sun, it is not impossible for you to see Bi Yun. However, Eunuch Huang said that it is nothing important, and outsiders are not allowed to talk to Eunuch Bi."

Sun Dan took out a sign and waved it in front of Eunuch Wei, then smiled and said, "Is it okay now?"

"Of course you can have the banner of Wang Ming." Eunuch Wei immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Sun, please follow me."

Bi Yun did not wear the palace uniform of the governor of the East Factory, but changed into a coarse blue shirt without a patch, and a thick straw rope was tied around his waist, and he was moving things on the ground one by one. blue bricks.

There were several eunuchs watching coldly, but no one stepped forward to help.

Bi Yun seems to be ten years older, with white hair all over his head, and blood blisters on his hands--this is the hand that has practiced iron gauze palm.

Seeing Sun Dan coming, Bi Yun didn't look up: "A peacock with hairy hair is not as good as a chicken, let Jingyuan see the joke."

Sun Dan stood beside Bi Yun silently, and said after a long time, "Bi Gong, how did you make this happen?"

Bi Yun quickly raised his head and glanced at Sun Dan, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then turned back: "This is Emperor Wuzong's auspicious land, being able to stay here is the last part of my heart for the late emperor."

At this moment, the setting sun shines from the lotus, casting the huge shadow of the Kangling City Tower on the ground. In the wind, Bi Yun's white hair is flying, looking extremely vicissitudes.

Sun Dan waved his hand to signal eunuch Wei and the others to leave, then bent down to help Bi Yun up, and said, "Bi Gong, I really don't know about this."

Bi Yun looked at Sun Dan: "But Lord Long Live asked you to come here?"

There was a glint of hope in his eyes.

But Sun Dan shook his head lightly, shattering the illusion in his eyes: "It turns out that this is the case. Could it be that Sun Jingyuan has also learned to protect himself wisely? Now, the palace is already dominated by Huang Jin, and he only listens to newcomers." Laughing, who knows that old people cry. When Emperor Wu Zong was here, those people in the palace saw our family, and they called each other a godfather. Now that I am in trouble, none of those good sons come over."

Sun Dan smiled wryly: "I'm not from the palace."

Bi Yun sighed: "Jingyuan, are you also afraid of Huang Jin? Didn't you tell His Majesty about our family's achievements?"

Sun Dan: "I just learned about Bi Gong, and I haven't had time to tell His Majesty. But don't worry, no one can obliterate your credit."

Bi Yun shook his head bitterly: "It's useless. With Huang Jin speaking ill of me by His Majesty's side, I'm afraid His Majesty won't have a good impression of me. Huang Jin will be a palm-print eunuch, so naturally he won't tolerate me."

Sun Dan sighed, "Don't worry, Mr. Bi, it's fine."

Bi Yun's eyes turned red, and he reached out to grab Sun Dan's hand: "Since the day Emperor Wuzong died, Bi Yun's heart has gone with the late emperor, and now he is just a walking dead. You can come and see me, this I've accepted the love. Our family is not old-fashioned, so it is impossible to know good or bad. We also know what kind of person you, Sun Jingyuan, are. If you are real, I will treat you as a friend!"

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes.

Sobbing for a long time, Bi Yun finally said: "Sun Dan, you have to be careful about Huang Jin. This person is narrow-minded, I'm afraid he won't tolerate you."

Sun Dan: "My Sun didn't offend Huang Jin, why can't he tolerate me?"

Bi Yun: "Conflicts in the world are nothing more than power and money in the final analysis. You, Sun Jingyuan, are my friend of Bi Yun. In order to take the post of supervisor of ceremonies, he will naturally deal with you, lest you help my old Bi. Once the board falls You, the shares in the Lu Family Bank are naturally owned by him. Think about it, Jingyuan, you are just a little scholar. time. Be careful, be careful!"

Sun Dan was silent for a moment: "Don't worry, no one can trouble me, Sun Dan. Don't worry, Mr. Bi, I will definitely pick you up in three or two months at the most." He put his hand on Bi Yun's shoulder and looked at him solemnly. Bi Yun's eyes: "This is also me, a friend's promise. Doesn't he, Huang Jin, want to come across the river and tear down the bridge? Let's give him a song that will never leave."
