Chapter 42
In Yan Song's room next door, Yan Song was originally in a good mood. However, when he heard the quarrel next door, his mood was instantly ruined. When he heard someone actually call him a thief, he was instantly angered.
His lackey Yan Nian also stood up angrily." Master, these people are audacious. How dare they speak ill of you? I'll go and teach them a lesson!"”
"Wait a minute," Yan Song stopped him.
Then, he heard the people next door shouting,"Cut off the robe and cut off the righteousness." Then, someone left the private room.
Yan Song's face was cold as he said to Yan Nian," Send someone to investigate that person's identity. It looks like he's a High Scholar who's rushing to the capital to take the exam." As for the people in the private room, he didn't have to worry about them for the time being.”
The head examiner was Yan Song's subordinate, and this High Scholar wanted to be a tribute student? Don't think too much.
"Yes, sir!" Yan Nian accepted the order and left.
……
On Xu Wei and Great Shou's side, they hadn't expected Yan Song to be sitting next door. After Huang Zihua had left, the atmosphere wasn't as warm as it had been at the beginning.
Sometimes, a scholar's temperament would turn into a passerby because of different opinions, or even turn into enemies.
"What's with the North Korea you're talking about?" Xu Wei asked curiously.”
Great Shou Zhu was not in a good mood, but he still explained everything to his new friend, from the Dajue Zen Temple to the confrontation with the imperial court.
"Are you sure you're talking about that treacherous official, Yan Song?" And not anyone else?"
" I thought I misheard it at first," Zhu Dashou laughed." After asking around, I confirmed that it was true.”
Xu Wei felt like his worldview was about to collapse. In Zhejiang, Yan Song was synonymous with many negative terms. He was insatiable, insatiable, and worse than a beast. He dug holes on the ground, searched the people's fat, and ate nothing…He was simply synonymous with evil people. The kind that would be sent to the eighteenth level of hell after death.
At this time, the Jiangnan disaster, Xu Wei himself was sure that it must be Yan Song, this treacherous official, who did it.
And now?
Yan Song had become a hero who protected the people.
And those loyal officials of the court had become traitors.
Xu Wei couldn't accept this kind of subversion.
"Brother Wen Chang, do you think the books we've been studying for so many years are all wrong?"”
"How do you know?" Xu Wei asked in confusion.
" The teachings of Confucius and Mencius have actually taught a bunch of idiots who are full of stupid benevolence and righteousness. These people usually act righteous and unyielding, but in the end, they betray their master for glory at the critical moment. On the contrary, that treacherous official Yan Song actually stepped forward to support the people. I feel that what I thought before was a little wrong!”
(When Yan Song next door heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. Someone praised me. In an instant, the feeling of posturing was finally fulfilled. However, he was soon puzzled. Why did Great Shou Zhu sound so familiar? This person can recognize my justice. It seems that his IQ is not low.）
Xu Wei was also confused after hearing what Zhu Dashou said."Brother Duanfu, Jiangnan is now plagued by disasters. All of this is caused by Yan Song. Calling him bad? I'm a little confused for a moment."
(Yan Song next door vomited blood: What does Jiangnan have to do with me? Can I bring disaster to the entire Jiangnan?) A brain is really a good thing!
"Brother Wen Chang, are you stupid? What does Jiangnan have to do with Yan Song?"”
Xu Wei was confused." But he's the chief assistant of the cabinet. He's the highest official in the entire court. Isn't he responsible for the Jiangnan incident?"”
(Yan Song: It's my fault.)
Zhu Dashou almost died of anger after hearing this. He had thought that Xu Wei was a smart person, but in the end, he was muddle-headed on this matter."Please, Jiangnan is the territory of the Donglin Party and the Qi Party. The officials, merchants, and scholars here all belong to these people. Yan Song doesn't have a good relationship with them, which means that Yan Song can't interfere at all.”
Xu Wei was confused by Zhu Dashou's words."Donglin Party? The Qi Faction?"
He had always been in a small place, and because of his personal problems, he did not have many friends. Therefore, he was too narrow-minded and one-sided. He was not very familiar with the Donglin Party and the Qi Party, but he was quite familiar with Yan Song. After all, in Zhejiang, people said that the local officials were very good, and Yan Song was very bad.
Seeing that this new friend of his was not very clear about the situation in the court, he simply explained in detail which factions were currently in the court and what had happened recently. The most famous ones were none other than Bao Zheng's Chen Shimei case and the North Korea vassal state incident.
Yan Song, who was next door, was very surprised when he heard this. This Great Shou Zhu was not bad. He was actually so familiar with the Imperial Court. Moreover, every rule was correct, and his analysis was reasonable and accurate. He was a talent.
"I have to go back and find his information.”What Yan Song lacked right now was subordinates like Great Shou Zhu.
After an hour of explanation, Xu Wei finally understood the basic situation of the imperial court. Then, he felt that his vision had suddenly broadened, and he was no longer so narrow-minded.
Xu Wei was surprised." From the looks of it, this Lord Yan is indeed not as heinous as the rumors say."”
Zhu Dashou sighed." Rumors are terrible. I originally thought that he was a treacherous official who did all kinds of bad things. But after my recent understanding, I found that he was a capable official who did practical things. He was several times better than those pedantic scholars who only knew benevolence, righteousness, and morality but actually knew nothing.”
Xu Wei nodded. His living environment had always determined that Xu Wei was a person who was practical and not a person who only knew how to talk. Of course, Xu Wei was also a blabbermouth. He was cynical, extreme, and arrogant. It was just that there was no stage for him to show off now.
After this incident, their friendship became even deeper.
When they left the restaurant to settle the bill, the shopkeeper said,""High Scholar Masters, someone has already paid the bill for you, so you don't have to pay.”
"Who?" Xu Wei was surprised.
"I don't know either." The shopkeeper smiled.”
Zhu Dashou laughed." Since someone is inviting you, that's even better. Come, let me bring you to drink wine!"”
"Alright!" Xu Wei laughed.
……
Zhu Dashou and Xu Wei were both people who would be needed later on. They would lay the foundation for this imperial examination first, haha…
