Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 364 Going to the appointment and meeting with gray shadow acquaintances
"Young master!"

Fang Yi went straight into Li You's carriage, and when he saw Fang Yi got into the carriage, Li You also showed a smile, and then let Fang Yi sit down first, and after Fang Yi sat down, he asked, "Da Lang What's going on in the court recently?"

"It's nothing serious. There are basically only two things that are discussed the most in the court. One is the aftermath of Xiangzhou, and the second is the Chunwei this time. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this Chunwei. Chunwei has prepared a title."

"Your Majesty doesn't personally draw up the questions?" Li You asked?
"It's not that His Majesty has drafted questions before. However, there are many people who use His Majesty to write questions. It is said that Ha hit a few times. Because of this, His Majesty no longer drafted the questions himself, but asked other people to draw the questions. .!"

Hehe, this is actually very interesting. There is a place called Maotanchang Middle School in our modern college entrance examination. Life in Maotanchang is like this: get up at 6:00 in the morning, study at 6:30, finish the study at 7:30, eat breakfast, Class starts at 8:20, that is, I leave the classroom for 50 minutes to have breakfast.

School ends at 12:00 noon, class starts at 2:00 p.m., most of them have lunch, and immediately go back to the classroom to read a book, finish class at 5:30 p.m., then have dinner, study at 6:30 p.m. By 10:30, it is time to do problems and problems. The school turns off the lights at 11 o'clock. Most of the students go to the evening self-study and read until the lights are turned off at 11 o'clock before going back.

For a person who has never been to evening self-study, it takes so long at once, and he really can’t bear it, and he can’t sit down at all, so after class, some people rush out. For this reason, the head teacher asked these people why they didn’t read until 11 o’clock .

Then when I go back, I just take a shower and sleep. Most of the dormitory people have to use a small lamp to read a book, and those who rent a house outside have to study a few things.

The dormitory is for 12 people, with bunk beds, a balcony, and no air conditioning.Everyday life is really three points and one line, classrooms, canteens and dormitories, without any entertainment.

Why do you want to compress your time like this, so that you can brush up on the questions, do more questions, and know more about the questions, so that even if you are a fool, you can get the title of the gold list and get admitted to the university you want. The ancient imperial examinations are better than now The college entrance examination is a hundred times more expensive, because after passing the ancient imperial examination, you can become an official and become a master.

So you don’t need to guess. In ancient times, the imperial examinations were treated even more crazily. It’s hard to say for ten years. In ancient times, some people wanted to take shortcuts, so there were people who made questions. The people who made questions were actually guessing the mind of the person who asked the question. people.

In ancient times, it was to write articles. Everyone knows that if you can get the topic early, then the article will be better. In the 15th year of Shunzhi (1658), Emperor Shunzhi took the palace examination in Yingtai. The topic was "Ying Taiwan Fu".

Chen Suyuan from Changshu was the son of Chen Shi, an old scholar of the former Ming Dynasty. Chen Shi once wrote a piece of "Yandu Fu", which he thought he was proud of, and Chen Suyuan had memorized it since he was a child.This time it happened by accident, Chen Suyuan slightly revised his father's "Yandu Fu", and it was done in an instant.When Emperor Shunzhi saw it, he applauded repeatedly, and it was officially designated as No.2.

If you can get the topic right and write an essay yourself, or find someone to be a shooter to write an essay, then there is a high possibility of becoming a Jinshi.

These questioners are basically old scholars who have gone through many scientific examinations. In the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar Wang Yinglin who was knowledgeable and talented. Once he saw the Hangzhou government offering tribute to the imperial palace. Wild cocoons and silk yarn, he said to his classmates: "If this year's test is based on this proposition, how will we describe it in the middle of the composition?"

The students were all dumbfounded by the question, and they were speechless.Therefore, Wang Yinglin first drew up a couplet: "Silk reeling is fine, there is no sign of Yu's tribute; ice is plain and empty, and there are not many offerings from officials." Silk, cotton, yarn and silk are all available, and the students are all amazed.

Li Shimin was guessed by the tester once, so in the future Li Shimin knew that there was a tester, so he stopped making questions by himself, and asked two or even three examiners to work together.

It will be difficult for people who hit the question in this way to guess the title.

When Li You and Fang Yizhi were talking about the recent events in the court in the carriage, the carriage outside also started to move forward. This time Xue Rengui wanted to protect Li You.

He directly dispatched his first battalion, and of course Qin Yong's Rugui Company directly protected Li You.

Xue Rengui's first battalion took the lead, and Ruguilian was the personal protection. After leaving Chang'an City, they walked about [-] miles for about half an hour, and waited until they arrived at Peach Blossom Lake.

At this time, Taohuatan is no longer what it used to be. At this time, Taohuatan has become a small cottage.

Ge Qing stood in front of the cottage early and waited for Li You. After Li You and Fang Yi got out of the carriage, Ge Qing quickly walked to Li You's side and bowed to salute: "Ge Qing pays homage to His Royal Highness King Qi!"

"Oh." Li You looked at the scenery in front of him and said with a smile: "Your gray shadow really knows how to choose a place. This place is really beautiful. However, such a good place, how could it be taken by you?"

Li You didn't know the previous story of Taohuatan. If Li You knew that there used to be a mass grave here, he didn't know how many ghosts died there. Because of this, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, no one would want to come here.

The most frightening thing is that there have been rumors of ghosts here several times. Although it is not known whether it is true or not, no one has come here since the rumors.

The corner of Fang Yizhi's mouth twitched slightly, because Fang Yizhi knew the ins and outs of this Peach Blossom Lake, but he didn't tell Li You, mainly because he was afraid that telling Li You would affect Li You's judgment.

After all, this is a negotiation with people, so it's better not to be affected.

Ge Qing smiled slightly: "Because no one wants it here." Fortunately, Ge Qing didn't say much, just said a word, and made a gesture of invitation to Li You, which meant to invite Li You into the cottage.

"We want to go in too." Xue Rengui stood in front of Li You.

Ge Qing immediately smiled and affirmed again and again: "Of course, our people here have all withdrawn today, and General Xue's Huben [-]st Battalion can take over.!"

"You even know our number?" Xue Rengui frowned.

"Ge Qing not only knows General Xue's number, but also how many brothers General Xue has, their age, place of origin, ability, and the reason why he is the leader of the army. Of course, it's not that Ge Qing investigated General Xue, it's just that we are Those who do this line of work don’t even know it.”

After speaking, Ge Qing made another gesture of invitation.

Xue Rengui didn't speak, but shouted behind him: "Take over here. Protect Your Highness!"

"promise!"

The first battalion of Huben quickly entered the cottage in Taohuatan, and then controlled all the commanding heights and the only way to pass, then Ge Qing smiled and said to Li You: "Your Highness, my master is waiting for you in the last room on the water.

Oh. By the way, the master said that he and the young master are old acquaintances, so please be assured. "

Fang Yi looked straight at Li You, this old acquaintance not only surprised Fang Yi, but Li You was also surprised when he and Hui Ying became old acquaintances, Li You looked at Fang Yi and shook his head.

However, since we are here, we have to go and see what the origin of this gray shadow is. Although we have doubts, we should know when we meet later. That's it, Li You and Fang Yi have been following Ge Qing Go to Taohuatan.

After a while, I saw a house built on the water in the peach blossom pool.

The bamboo grove is sloping, the flowing water is gurgling, the fragrance of tea is melodious, and the huts and passenger boats. This beautiful house on the water in front of you is a mountain and wild bamboo forest, a good place to "steal a half-day leisure in a floating life".

All the materials come from the gift of nature, which is perfect for this lake.

But what Li You didn't know was that this used to be a special place for taking clothes off. Because of the need to dissipate heat after taking clothes off, many people jumped into the lake nearby, so I don't know how many people drowned in this lake. Scattered idiots.

A long bamboo passageway, Ge Qing said with a smile: "Your Highness, please go alone."

"Can't I go?" Fang Yi looked at Ge Qing and asked.

"Mr. Fang, just wait here with Xiaonu. Don't worry, we have absolutely no malicious intentions in this meeting!" Ge Qing looked at everyone with a smile.

Li You said: "After I enter the house, I will definitely make a sound. If I don't make a sound after entering the room, everyone will rush in immediately.!"

"Follow orders!"

With a hint of curiosity, Li You walked towards the floating house by himself, step by step, and when he got closer, Li You found that the floating house should be very large, at least one or two football fields, and there could be faint shadows around it. Joyo saw the wooden stakes in the water.

But now this floating house has been reduced a lot, only about [-] square meters, such a floating house, there shouldn't be any danger inside.

Just after Li You came to the door of the house on the water.

The door was opened with a creak, and when Li You saw the people in the room, he quickly showed a horrified expression: "You, are you a gray shadow?"

The other party smiled slightly: "Don't worry now?"

Li You nodded, and hurriedly shouted behind him: "Don't come over, he is an old acquaintance of mine, don't worry, there will be no danger."

After hearing Li You's words, Ge Qing looked at Fang Yizhi and Xue Rengui with a smile and said, "You two, believe me now, I have prepared some food and wine in front, my master and His Highness may have a chat for a while, how about Let's go to the front to eat and drink to pass the time."

After thinking for a while, Fang Yizhi and Xue Rengui glanced at each other. Li You had said just now that he should be an old acquaintance, so there should be no danger. Just staying here is indeed a bit difficult.

Since the other party warmly invited them, Fang Yizhi and Xue Rengui were also disrespectful.

At the same time, Li You followed his old acquaintance into the house on the water, and the space inside could be seen at a glance.There is only one room without partitions. The right side is a place for drinking tea, the left side is a place for reading, and the opposite side is a bed, which should be a place for rest.

The bed was covered by a curtain, and it seemed that there was still a person lying in it, but now Li You didn't want to discuss the person in the curtain, but looked at his old acquaintance with a surprised look and asked: "Yan Young master, are you a gray shadow?"

At this moment, Mr. Yan looked at Li You and nodded with a smile: "That's right!"
