Chapter 1171 An Unusual Thing Happened
Jian'an eight years, New Year's Eve.

"Woo—" Yang Xiu tightened the reins, and the big Xiliang horse under his crotch stopped steadily, flicking its tail comfortably.If it weren't for the dust on his body, it would be hard to tell that he had just gone on a long journey.

Yang Xiu dismounted with a stirrup, threw the reins to the guards who came up, and straightened his clothes.

"Is Situ there?"

"Yes, yes." The guard said repeatedly.

"Anyone here?"

"Great Secretary of Agriculture Liu Zichu, Minister of Zhao Yang Jicai, Governor of Changshan Du Bohou..."

"Where's Yin Xunwenruo from Henan?"

The guard smiled. "He has been here a long time ago, but he hasn't been here much recently. I heard that he is studying in Lantai."

Yang Xiu turned his head. "Study in Lantai? What does he want to do, Great Confucian?"

"I don't know that." The guard smiled even more happily.He is from Hanyang, and he was proud of Yang Xiu, so he volunteered to be on duty for Situ Mansion.Being able to talk so much with Yang Xiu today made him dizzy with excitement.

Yang Xiu didn't ask any more questions, just patted the guard on the shoulder, and strode into the door.

As soon as he entered the atrium, Yang Xiu saw Yang Biao and Liu Ba standing side by side by the fish pond, talking and laughing.Hearing Yang Xiu's footsteps, they looked back. Liu Ba immediately threw a large handful of fish food into the water, clapped his hands, turned around and held Yang Xiu's arm, and laughed.

"Dezu, you are back. If you don't come back, Situ will almost fall ill."

"Zi Chu, what are you doing?" Yang Biao stomped his foot. "Throwing so much fish food in, wouldn't it swell to death?"

"Damn it, today is New Year's Eve, can you say something auspicious?" Mrs. Yuan walked out from the backyard quickly, just in time to hear Yang Biao's complaint, and couldn't help but criticize a few words.

Yang Biao was at a loss for words and shook his sleeves helplessly.

Madam Yuan rushed in front of Yang Xiu, Liu Ba tactfully let go of Yang Xiu and stepped aside.Madam Yuan looked Yang Xiu up and down, feeling distressed.

"Dezu, are you in a hurry on the road?"

"Fortunately, Xiliang horses are fast, and they can travel thousands of miles a day." Yang Xiu smiled, exchanged a few words with Madam Yuan, asked about his wife and children, and then sent Madam Yuan back to the backyard.

Yang Biao watched from the side. Although he didn't speak, he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes.

Yang Xiu came all the way from Hanyang, and his spirit is still so good, which shows that he has strong physical strength. In the future, he must be a sign of longevity, more children and more blessings, ending the family tradition of single inheritance.

"A Weng, brother Zichu." Yang Xiu bowed to say hello, and then got to the point. "I heard that Zimei's "Looking at the Stars" was listed as the new champion in the eighth year of Jian'an, but is it true?"

"Can this be false?" Yang Biao stroked his beard and said lightly, "You don't just care about this, do you?"

"Yes, I heard that the "Five Classics Chapters and Sentences" should have been the most promising, but it was Xun Wenruo who overcame all opinions and made the final decision?"

Yang Biao nodded, but did not speak.

He had heard about the incident, but he was not at the scene and did not know what happened.

This does not match the Xun Yu in his impression.

Liu Ba was very calm. "He should have done it a long time ago. It's slow to react now."

"After the book recommendation meeting, you haven't met?"

"He studies in Lantai every day, but never comes to Situ's Mansion." Yang Biao explained, "That's what I mean too. I want to wait for all of you to arrive and discuss together, so as not to waste everyone's time."

Yang Biao then told Xun Yu about the first time he met him after he came to Wancheng.

This is exactly what he can't understand.Xun Yu's attitude at that time did not look like someone who could firmly support real learning. He may have been under some pressure and had to change his attitude, and expressed his determination in this way.

Who can put such pressure on him?it goes without saying.

Apart from the Son of Heaven, there can be no second person.

On the day of the book recommendation meeting, the emperor never showed up, and no one knew where he was.Yang Biao suspected that the Son of Heaven was probably with Xun Yu on the second floor of Nanyang Yinfang and said something to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu didn't come to Situ's Mansion, probably because he didn't want to face him and face his inevitable inquiries.

Yang Xiu thought about it. "I'll go to Lantai to find him."

"Now?" Yang Biao and Liu Ba were a little surprised.Yang Biao said, "Aren't you going to see the driver first?"

"Now, I need to know what he thinks before I can decide what to do and what to say after meeting him."

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he cupped his hands, turned and left.

Yang Biao and Liu Ba looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, Liu Ba said with a smile: "De Zu really has the habits of many Xiliang people, he is decisive and capable without hesitation."

Yang Biao sighed. "I'm afraid it's too late."

Liu Ba thought for a while, and comforted him: "Dezu and the emperor and his ministers know each other well, so there shouldn't be any quarrel over such a trivial matter."

-

Yang Xiu came to Lantai.

Xun Yu was sitting in front of the window reading, and the desk was full of books, some in Chinese, some in Greek, written materials, and pictures.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xun Yu didn't raise his head. He didn't raise his eyelids until Yang Xiu stood still in front of him, blocking the sunlight.Yang Xiu stood with the backlight, but he didn't recognize him for a while, but narrowed his eyes and gave a thumbs up.

"I didn't expect to see such a strong man in Lantai! Do you have any advice?"

Yang Xiu couldn't help laughing. "Xun Wenruo, when did you start studying learning, or the learning of the Western Regions?"

Xun Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then he recognized Yang Xiu, and couldn't help laughing. "So it's up to you. Sit down, sit down. When did you arrive? Looking at your dirtiness, you didn't arrive just now, did you?"

"You're right. I just arrived in Nanyang and said a few words in Situ's mansion. I didn't even have time to take a sip of water." Yang Xiu didn't ask Xun Yu to invite him, so he took his seat, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup. hot tea. "You should know why I came to see you in such a hurry, right?"

Xun Yu blinked. "It must be because of the book recommendation meeting?"

"Yes." Yang Xiu poured the tea into his mouth, gulped it down, and then poured another cup. "Tell me the truth, are those words from your heart? Or..."

Xun Yu shook his hand, signaling Yang Xiu not to worry, and asked Yang Xiu to take off his coat.The room is very warm, and there is no need to wear so many clothes. Moreover, Yang Xiu has driven such a long distance, his body is covered with dirt, and he can see the dust flying around even if he moves a little.

"What you heard may not be accurate. Why don't you listen to me, the person involved, about the situation at that time." Xun Yu said while taking a few pieces of paper from the side and handing them to Yang Xiu. "This is my speech at the time, and it has been slightly polished in order to write it into an article."

Yang Xiu took it, glanced at it, and then asked again: "Are you going to publish it publicly?"

"Of course." Xun Yu smiled brighter. "Otherwise, everyone will come to ask like me, how can I handle it? Announcing the world will save trouble and earn a fortune, so why not do it?"

Yang Xiu laughed dumbfounded, but he didn't argue with Xun Yu, and quickly read the article, frowning slightly.

"Is this really what you said from the bottom of your heart?"

"What's the problem?"

"There's nothing wrong with the problem, it's just that this doesn't really look like you." Yang Xiu pondered for a moment, his eyelids twitching slightly. "Brother Wen Ruo, tell me, did the emperor threaten you?"
