Fourteen: Yujing

Li Chan left Qingling County, went east to Yujing, took away several texts, and left a warehouse of grain.

Zheng Junshan was able to escape from the predicament of being trapped in Wuwu. The people of Qingling County, who had been hungry for several months, no longer had to face the struggle of selling their children and expelling their sons. In just a few days, Zheng Junshan used pili methods to suppress the questioning of the large families in the county, opened warehouses and released grain, and suppressed the rice price in Qingling County. Due to disaster relief, the old people in the county zhongzhong township erected a monument for Zheng Junshan, and naturally the name of the ghost master Changping was not missing on the monument.

Although the wooden boat has gone with the autumn water, there will be no strange incidents of ghost soldiers walking at night in Qingling County. The deeds of the Ghost Lord of Changping are left in the inscriptions of the temples in the city, outside the red walls of the towers in the ancient battlefield.

The incident of the ghost soldiers passing through the border spread in Gyeonggi Province with the bird letters. The people who didn't know the inside story spread the ghost master Changping into a benevolent general, but insiders wondered who was the master who helped Zheng Junshan.

Some people speculate that Zheng Junshan really colluded with Western demons, so the incident of the Ghost Lord Changping was involved. Some people speculated that a great master of Qianyuan Academy sprinkled beans into soldiers and solved the difficulties of Qingling County.

There is also rumors that it was the Yuyi envoy from the Jingji who had not taken office in Shenzhasi to plan the transit of the ghost soldiers.

The reason for this rumor is not tortuous.

At dusk that day, when Zheng Junshan saw off the junior who had met by chance in front of the water post, he remembered the five words "Yi Envoy of the Jingji". After that, when Zheng Junshan calmed down the chaos in the county, the judge Chen, the right ban of Shenzha, also made a lot of efforts. Zheng Junshan naturally thought that the matter of the ghost soldiers passing through the border was planned by the right ban of Shenzha. During a night talk, Zheng Junshan thanked Chen Haochu and mentioned the name of the Yi Envoy of the Jingji.

Although Chen Haochu was the judge of the Right Ban of Shenzhasi, he was also confused about the origin of the Youyi Envoy of the Jingji. However, the credit for taking over the case of the Ghost Lord of Changping was beneficial to the Right Ban of Shenzhasi. Therefore, the mysterious Youyi Envoy of the Unemployed Jingzhasi had not yet arrived in Yujing, but his reputation spread faintly.

The news about the right ban of the Godzhasi's command of Youyi Envoy in the Jingjin area became one of the topics of conversation among the people of Yujing after dinner. However, the storm of the ghost soldiers in Qingling County's crossing was soon diluted in other news.

First, the mailings and announcements of the states released the news that the saint had entered Longwu Pass. When the whole country was excited, the unscrupulous demon wind finally restrained a little.

The frost has arrived again, and the people have changed into silk short clothes and put on robes and furs. In this cold weather, the Ministry of Rites, Chongxuan and Xuanchan have begun to prepare for the registration for the examination of Qianyuan Academy in the spring of the following year. Therefore, the most outstanding young people in the entire Dayong area gathered in Yujing this autumn.

In order to attract talents in advance, the princes and nobles in Yujing held a "Crane Gathering Banquet" in the mansion, and invited young people who took the exam to the Qianyuan Academy to attend the banquet. Various academic halls, associations, temples and temples also held poetry, literary and Dharma meetings.

Before the examinations at Qianyuan Academy began, young people who had made a name for themselves in various prefectures and counties began to distinguish between the top and bottom in banquets.

Although the people in Yujing City were unable to participate, they commented on these heroes and prides who were about to enter the palace during the three rounds of drinking. Although the people could not understand the various Dharma meetings, they could only listen to a few words from the teahouse storytellers to explain the mysterious principles of Buddhism well, and ranked these young people who had just become famous, and some titles such as "Lingqiu Hezi", "Qiwuhuanger", and "Chulou Xiushi".

These young people are the pillars of the Dayong Kingdom in the future. They have eye-catching talents. Compared with those famous scholars who have long been in high positions or have achieved mysterious supernatural powers, they are closer to the people. Just like scholars and merchants are pursuing flower courtesans, the people of Yujing City also pursue these young people who have just become famous. Men and women even form associations with the titles of young people. Whenever there is a Dharma Assembly or a literary assembly, these admirers gather to watch and cheer for them.

The gambling house that worships Wu Cao God, using the winning or losing of these young people to make a bet, attracted the people of Yujing to abandon the Yezi Opera and Liubo who were enjoying leisurely, and rushed to make bets. In the calligraphy and painting lines in the West Market, a large number of elegant works that are said to be written by this group of young heroes.

This bustling excitement diluted the gloomy atmosphere of the disaster year.

A young man holding a bookcase walked into Yujing City on a pair of newly replaced but worn-out pilaf shoes on the sixth day after the frost.

The young man was dressed in blue clothes, and his outfit was no different from other scholars who were taking the exam. However, a squinting white cat was nested in the bookcase covered by black rain cloth, which was quite eye-catching.

Young people set foot on the Vermillion Bird Street and admire the most prosperous scene of Dayong Country along the street.

If the Xuandu, which is in love with the imperial capital of the Six Dynasties, is compared to a quiet Confucian scholar who once understood the world in a vast sea, the new capital of this great construction is a Changyang boy with a bright clothes and an angry horse waving his sword to the sky. Between the eaves and corners, there are flying towers thousands of feet and cloud bridges connected.

On the west side of the imperial city, there are two palaces built at the highest point of the entire Yujing City, shaped like a silhouette. It is said that whenever the new emperor ascends the throne and the ascension of immortals, these second palaces will fly off the ground and shuttle between the Feilou Cloud Bridge. The palace on the west side is called "Day Flying Boat", and the palace on the east side is called "Night Travel Palace".

The young man lingered for a while before he thought of finding a place to rest first. But he asked about the seven diary shops along the street, and they were all full. When he arrived at the eighth diary shop, he just happened to run into a check-out resident and found a place to stay.

Although the shopkeeper has been used to seeing strange people during this period, when he saw the white cat in the bookcase of the new resident, he still couldn't help but look at it several times until he sent the new resident into the house, and he reluctantly retracted his gaze.

Li Chan asked the shopkeeper for some hot water, went into the house to take off the bookcase, put the book, painting scroll and other items on the table. He opened the window and saw the traffic on Zhuque Street and the crowded with people. Under the imperial palace, the land and gold price were the same. It is known that "a family of Xunqi, living in no gaps", and even the prime minister in the court had rented a house. He sighed: "This place is lively and it is difficult to find a place to stay. We can still afford to rent a Bimozhai in Xuandu, which is difficult to come here."

On the table, Bi Jun Feiqiu wrote: "There is an abandoned garden in the west of the General's Mansion of the State. When you have time, you might as well go and take a look."

"Even if the abandoned garden is not something we can appreciate." Li Chan held up the window pole and returned to the table.

Bi Jun wrote again: "You have been planting the Tao for half a year and traveled eastward. Your realm has been solid. You should have a deeper understanding of the Tao. Draw a picture for me."

Li Chan smiled with a tacit understanding of how he had been with each other for many years, "Which wine and food do you want to eat again?"

Bi Jun said, "You always want to draw wine and food for me, so I might as well try it myself."
