i have a sword fairy

Chapter 42
As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhao Rong heard the chirping of summer insects.

The cool breeze in the afternoon is blowing... No, it seems that Su Xiaoxiao is fanning the wind.

Zhao Rong tilted his head and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting beside him. At this moment, he tilted his head and listened to the chats of other tourists in the pavilion, while holding the handle of the fan fan with both hands to give him air.

Two do not delay.

The three of Zhao Rong arrived in Luojing in the morning. Seeing that there was plenty of time, the three of them did not stay and went straight to the road. Here is a pavilion named Drunkard a few miles away from Luojing. Taking a break here, Zhao Rong also took a short rest.

Zhao Rong stretched out on the chair in the pavilion, leaned lazily on the pillar, and glanced at the pavilion casually.

There was no one in the Drunkard Pavilion when we first arrived, but at this time there were already more tourists.

There were two men in the northwest corner, who were supposed to be companions, chatting freely.

One of the men looked very young, dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, holding a peach-blossom black paper fan with a clump of handsome bamboo painted on it.

The other man was older, with thin cheeks and slightly sunken eyes, but his eyes were bright, and he wore a well-dressed robe. His long hair was casually draped, and he held a stag tail in his hand, dressed as a Zhongnan celebrity.

In the northeast corner sat a fat and rich middle-aged Taoist priest in blue clothes, who was closing his eyes and resting.

In the end, not far from Zhao Rong and the other three, there was a slender man with a lyre in front of him, and he lowered his head to adjust.

Zhao Rong looked back lazily, turned to the outside of the pavilion, and tapped the railing with one hand.

The Drunkard Pavilion stands on the top of the mountain, and from this distance, you can see a thousand miles and a beautiful view of the south.

"Then Lin Wenruo is really not a good thing." Su Xiaoxiao whispered.

"Ah? What." Zhao Rong turned around, just woke up, a little confused.

"It was Lin Wenruo who broke off the engagement with the bride on the big wedding day and left her dowry outside the door." Su Xiao was stingy. "How can there be such a heartless man, because he is still an academy scholar who is full of poetry and books, bah!"

Zhao Rong suddenly realized that he was talking about this person again.

Passing through Luojing City in the morning, all the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants were hotly discussing this matter. Zhao Rong was not very interested in these matters, but there were too many people talking about it.

What's more, there is a little fox demon who is overflowing with sympathy. When he hears that there is such a worry, he pricks up his ears and asks. After knowing about it, he feels distressed about what happened to the bride. Bad, if Xiao Xiao encounters him, Xiao Xiao will hammer him to death.

Zhao Rong always felt that something was wrong.

No, I have to find an excuse to reward her with a few chestnuts.

Most of the people in Luojing are scolding this scholar named Lin Wenruo. It is said that he is the eldest son of the Lin family in Lanxi. Impeaching the national teacher in front of the monarch is simply outrageous.

This scolding, Zhao Rong is a little sympathetic to that brother, but why is he a little guilty, ahem, I'm different from him, am I not giving jade...

Zhao Rong said nothing and declined to comment.

But someone in the Drunkard Pavilion heard Su Xiaoxiao's words.

"What this little brother said is very true."

In the northwest corner of the pavilion, among the two who had been talking loudly, the brocade-clothed young man smiled and said loudly to Zhao Rong.

The two of them all looked at Zhao Rong, especially the old man with the tail, who finally had the opportunity to look at this side with a straight face. At this time, he was staring at Su Xiaoxiao, looking up and down, and smiled knowingly. .

In fact, as soon as he entered the Drunkard Pavilion, he paid attention to these three people. To be precise, he paid attention to the handsome scholar with his face and eyes like lacquer, and the other two, an ordinary Confucian scholar, and a man with a rather scary face. , In his opinion, they are all lay people, and Mr. Qingxi has always considered himself a famous scholar of Zhongnan, so he will not pay attention to it.

The longer he looked at it, the more surprised he was.

Young Master Jinyi glanced at the eyes of Mr. Qingxi beside him with a strange expression, but he looked at the other side again.

The handsome scholar was fanning the ordinary scholar, and when he spoke just now, he inadvertently revealed some of the anger of the youngest daughter's family.

Young Master Jinyi understood.

It seems that Mr. Qingxi met a companion.

Zhao Rong didn't know that he and Su Xiaoxiao, who disguised as a man, had been misunderstood.

He glanced at the little fox demon who had a small head hanging in front of him, pretending to be deaf and mute. She was facing the two people who had just made a sound, like an ostrich burying her small head in the soil.

"Hey, they're talking to you."

"Well, it's obviously with you."

"Why are you so brave?"

"It's not a small thing, but it's not a good thing that my grandmother said to ignore the man who took the initiative to talk to him."

"Well, your grandmother is right." This time Zhao Rong nodded, agreeing very much. "Men are not good things, except me."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Young Master Jinyi saw Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao whispering, ignoring him, a little embarrassed, but after receiving the look from Mr. Qingxi next to him, he coughed lightly and continued:
"Thanks that Lin Wenruo is still a scholar of Siqi Academy, does the academy now teach such ruthless and unrighteous people, no king, no country, no father, no home, no knowledge and no knowledge?"

The voice resounded in the Drunkard Pavilion.

Zhao Rong and Su Xiaoxiao stopped whispering.

The fat Taoist priest who was sitting silently nodded his head.

"Zheng!" The luthier who had been debugging the guqin also completed his work and started playing the guqin.

Young Master Jin Yi was quite satisfied to see that everyone responded to him and turned their attention.

"Xiangyu Lan is the daughter of the national teacher, with golden branches and jade leaves, she is fond of him, she is committed to marrying him, she manages the house for him early, and waits hard for her return, but he broke the contract on the day of the big wedding and abandoned the marriage, ruining the reputation of the woman in her life, so what will Xiangu do in the future? From where? This is ruthless."

"The national teacher regarded him as a son, and he tried his best to help him, but when he was offering sacrifices to the king's spring day, in front of hundreds of thousands of people in Luojing, he wrote to the national teacher's 'Ten Sins and Five Traitors', making up unnecessary charges. , this is meaningless."

"The monarch placed high hopes on him, pushed food and clothing, delegated authority and delegated authority, but he promulgated a law that would harm the country and the people, exploiting farmers with the spring seedling method, and making profits for the Lanxi Lin clan; The art of war is exhausting and arrogant, and it is provocative and provocative; there are countless ways to destroy my country in the south. This is no king and no country."

"Marriage is a major event, his parents said, but he broke the contract without any reason, and he is not filial. This is no father and no home."

"As for ignorance and ignorance... He Lin Wenruo dares to coerce the monarch, set up a debate between Confucianism and Taoism, and argue for the Zhongnan State Religion? Oh, the scorpion may shake the tree, and it is beyond its own power!"

Young Master Jin Yi sneered.

"'If the text doesn't come out, what is the life of Nai Cang'? The people of the country look forward to him so diligently, but who would have come back to be a ruthless and ruthless person, without a ruler, without a country, without a father, without a family, and without knowledge."

"The scholars of the Confucian academies are nothing more than a little."

Young Master Jinyi unfolded the folding fan in his hand, fanned the wind lightly, and smiled slightly, feeling that these words were very invigorating and dripping.

The sound of the piano in the pavilion calmed down and then rose high.

"The donor is right." The fat Taoist priest, who had been closing his eyes before, opened his eyes and bowed his head to the brocade-clothed scholar.

"This forest thief is unforgivable. Guanzhu used to value him so much. I did not blame Lanxi Lin in the slightest, but he was ungrateful, biting people like a mad dog, and even tried to use Taoism and Confucianism. The position of Guan Guojiao? Just relying on this yellow-haired child and a group of rabble behind him?"

"I rushed to the virtual view of the thousand-year-old Taoist lineage. When the Zhongnan Kingdom was not established, he built a temple here. How dare he dare to think like this? Hmph, although Pindao is only an ordinary Taoist in the temple, he also has a heart of pure fisting. If that Lin Thief dares to appear in front of Pindao, Daoist I must scold him for not being able to lift his dog's head!"

After speaking, the fat Taoist flicked the dust, and his body shook, but his originally fat body gave him a generous and heroic posture.

Young Master Jin Yi and the fat Taoist priest looked at each other with admiration in their eyes. At this moment, accompanied by the sound of the high-pitched piano, their hearts were full of turbulence. .

"Let's go to Li Shiqian."

"Pindao Chen Hongyuan."

"Long time, long time."

"Disrespectful disrespect."

Zhao Rong raised his brows and couldn't help laughing at the scene in front of him that seemed to be the next step to get married.

Mr. Qingxi, who was on the side, was not interested in this scene, and he was not even interested in the big changes that happened in Luojing in the past few months and the things that the Chinese people were talking about.

No matter what the Lanxi Lin clan and Chongxuguan are fighting, no matter how much you Lin Wenruo has done, it's too far from the old man anyway.

He feels that he is indulging in the mountains and rivers of Zhongnan, regardless of the worldly elegant celebrities, who may not be famous for the time being and cannot be compared with the famous celebrities in Luojing, but as long as he participates in a few more elegant meetings, and then takes more medicine powder to do some elegant things , Maybe he will be famous for Zhongnan and let him be promoted to celebrity.

Like this one right now.

Mr. Qingxi gave another look to the brocade-clothed son named Li Shiqian.

Li Shiqian reacted and wanted to do business. After all, he still had to rely on Mr. Qingxi to bring him into the circle of celebrities in Luojing.So he coughed lightly.

"It's also fate to meet you guys in this drunkard pavilion today. Everyone is congenial and has a great conversation, which is very rare. The gentleman beside me is Mr. Qingxi, who is well-known in Luojing. He will meet tonight. Hold an elegant literary meeting, and see you all meet, can you admire your face and go to the meeting?"

After he finished speaking, he looked around, but his eyes were mainly directed towards Zhao Rong.

Liu Sanbian was distracted by the scenery outside, Su Xiaoxiao held her cheeks in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, the two ignored Li Shiqian.

Zhao Rong's mouth twitched when he saw Li Shiqian's gaze.

Congenial, chatting happily?Wasn't it just the two of you talking just now?
But reach out and don't hit the smiling man.

Zhao Rong responded with a smile: "I'm sorry, we are not locals, we passed by this place in a hurry, time is tight, so we won't bother."

Li Shiqian's smile froze.

Mr. Qingxi urged again, and Li Shiqian asked several more times without giving up.

Zhao Rong declined a few times, and seeing that he still didn't give up, he looked at the beautiful scenery and ignored him.

Li Shiqian's expressions sank when they saw this.

"It's fine if they don't go, I just have time for the poor Daoist, hahahahaha, I haven't seen what the banquets opened by you scribes look like, but today I'm going to open my eyes." Fat Taoist Chen Hongyuan laughed.

Mr. Qingxi's eyelids jumped, who cares if you come or not?Your body can probably crush the old man to death.

"Zhao Rong, stop reading, okay?" Su Xiaoxiao, who had been in a daze just now, suddenly tugged at the corner of Zhao Rong's clothes.

"Ok?"

"Are you okay?" The corner of his clothes was pulled again.

"not good."

The corner of Zhao Rong's mouth curved. "As expected of you, Su Xiaoxiao, you easily said something I didn't expect."

"You go bad, Xiaoxiao doesn't care about you."

"You think too much reading will make it worse, right?" Zhao Rong said leisurely.

Su Xiaoxiao was angry and didn't want to ignore him, but after a while, she hummed softly.

"Who told you that reading too much will make it worse?"

"Isn't that what they said about Lin Wenruo? After reading so many books, the more he reads, the worse he gets. After doing so many bad things, it's better not to read."

The corners of Zhao Rong's mouth narrowed with a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked down at the pair of black and white eyes in front of him, and said with a rare serious look: "What do you believe in what the world says?"

His voice was not loud, but in the Drunkard Pavilion where there was only a faint melodious sound of the piano, it floated into everyone's ears along with the sound of the piano.

"To judge a person, don't look at his evaluation in the mouths of the people, not by the appearance of his skin, or even by his heart, but by his behavior and what he has done."

"Cut." Li Shiqian pouted.

Mr. Qingxi and Chen Hongyuan were equally disdainful.

Another "Neo-Confucianist" who is full of empty words after reading a few books and teaches people the truth.

"But, but he really did something that was sorry to that Lady Lan." Su Xiaoxiao wondered.

"Whether there is an inside story or not, this is just his personal virtue, not the main basis for judging him." Zhao Rong said softly. "Because Lin Wenruo, as a Confucian scholar who entered the WTO, should be regarded as the most important criterion for evaluation, it should be his public morality, that is, what he did to the Zhongnan Kingdom."

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to understand.

"Isn't what he did to promulgate a demon law and harm Zhongnan?" Li Shiqian couldn't help it, and interjected: "You scholar is so boring, and I sincerely invite you to participate in the Wenhui, but you don't know the good or the bad, and you don't know the etiquette. , Now he is talking nonsense again, and he actually starts to speak for that Lin Wenruo, is this a Confucian scholar? A raccoon dog on the same hill, they smell like each other!"

"I didn't speak for Lin Wenruo alone, I was speaking for my generation of Confucian scholars." Zhao Rong's tone was calm. "When you deal with the Confucian students of my generation, don't you first destroy their personal virtues and make people hate them, and then push them away, and then turn their public virtues down, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false, destroying the reputation of the Confucian students of my generation, and confounding their merits and demerits?"

Zhao Rong's tone was cold. "Just like what you're doing now, you're just arguing about the truth, but you came to ruin my personal morality by not going to the meeting."

"you!"

Li Shiqian was speechless.

Chen Hongyuan said sharply: "How do you explain his method of bringing disaster to the country and the people?"

Zhao Rong suddenly looked strange. "Do you really understand the specific content of the spring seedling method, the retreat method, and the general strategy?"

Chen Hongyuan suddenly felt a little guilty, didn't all the people in Luojing say that they were laboring the people and hurting the money?

How could he, a Taoist priest, have the intention to understand the new laws in detail, the only closely related retreat method, he is more aware of it, isn't it that he dismantled the magnificent Taoist temple and changed it into fields, and distributed it to the farmers who have no money to cultivate? It is a retrogression of education, which is extremely ridiculous.He remembered clearly this new law that harmed his vital interests.

But at this time, the bow had already opened and there was no turning back, so he could only bite the bullet and nodded.

Zhao Rong thought about what he had seen and heard in Zhongnan during this period of time, and couldn't help his tone.

"The spring seedling method can help the farmers, which can increase production and enrich the people, and fill the imperial court's wealth with one stone. Rearing the armament can supplement the frontier garrison and guard against the enemy's foreign aggression."

"Looking at his public virtue, these three methods are enough!"

"The law is a good law, but the reason for the difficulties in the implementation process and the resentment of the people is because of the corruption of the Zhongnan Kingdom system and the unfavorable implementation of people. Why should all the fault be blamed on the new law itself and the people who promulgated and implemented it?"

Li Shiqian, Chen Hongyuan, and Mr. Qingxi looked at each other.

"And these three methods are aimed at the bottom people of Zhongnan Kingdom, which is beneficial to the country's society. I think that most people in Luojing live well and live in the middle, not belonging to the bottom people. These three methods can't bring them much benefit, even It also damages the interests of the upper-level elites, including Chongxuguan, so some people hide behind the scenes and manipulate public opinion, and you, or you are also a short-sighted member of the interest group, or you are harassed by the townspeople. When you are a gunner, you don't even know it!"

Li Shiqian opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute him, he hesitated.

Zhao Rong said slowly: "The Dachen Dynasty in the south of you has been reformed by the ambitious Legalist reforms, and it may go north to swallow the fat of Zhongnan Mountain at any time. The Taoist governance model of 'small country with few people' is no longer applicable to the end. The situation in the southern country, now someone has finally stood up to reform and reform the law for you, but you are ignorant, talking about gold, and destroying people's morality."

Zhao Rong said word by word, "Why did you deceive my generation of Confucian scholars like this?"

One of the only two scholars in the pavilion pursed his lips.

"The huge Zhongnan Kingdom, the lord of the state refines alchemy, the state teacher cultivates Taoism, the people are ignorant, the Taoist priests do nothing, the hermits avoid the world, and the famous men go wild, all do nothing."

"There are only a group of Confucian scholars who worry about state affairs and make up for it everywhere."

"You and the others are all biased towards personal virtue, while public virtue is at risk."

"Now that Zhongnan is going to decline every day, how can there be other people? There are too many good people who are few, and they enjoy their rights but do not fulfill their obligations. Everyone sees the people who are wronged as nothing. Although there are many people, they once Not for the benefit of the group, but instead for the group's burden, the husband will not be slumbering every day!"

Zhao Rong's words were loud and clear, each word was sonorous and powerful, and each sentence was eloquent, echoing in the Drunkard Pavilion.

Everyone was silent.

The three Li Shiqian looked different, either pale, angry, or drooping, but none of them dared to look at the Confucian scholar again.

"Zheng!"

The piano sounded loudly.

I don't know if it's the end of the song, or if it's broken.

Sudden.

Blessed to the soul.

Zhao Rong turned his head like a ghost and looked at the place where the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Lin Wenruo put her hands away from the strings and raised her head, ignoring everyone in the pavilion, she just looked at the Confucian scholar who turned back.

Smile like a spring breeze.

"I was born Lin Qingchi, the words are written, if you dare to ask your Excellency, your surname is your name."

When I see a gentleman, my heart is happy.
