eldest son of Ming dynasty

Zuixian Tower is quite a famous place, where the emperor keeps his feet, and the eunuchs keep their lives here. Hey, ordinary people feel very dramatic when they hear it.

"The emperor is not good at women, so Lei Ting was furious, and immediately ordered the arrest of his servants!" '

This story just confirmed the plot that the 'audience' wanted.

The traitor flatters and slaps the horse's hooves, which is very satisfying, very satisfying!
In the restaurant of Wenxiang Pavilion in the city that never sleeps, the storyteller's eyebrows were beaming, and he could speak eloquently.

"What happened just now, it just appeared in the storyteller's mouth. It is worthy of being at the feet of the emperor." The speaker was wearing a square scarf, wearing a white shirt, and a beard with a mouth. He was quite upright.

After he finished speaking, the person behind him seemed to hear a familiar voice, and stepped across the table to talk, "Brother Tianci really! Did you just return to Beijing?"

"Oh, brother Tingshi! Long time no see, long time no see. I never thought to meet you here today! Please sit down!"

The two old friends met again, and they met here again, so the two tables were at the same table. They all looked like scholars, and their demeanor was full of Confucianism.

In the middle of the table, there are some delicate side dishes, and there is tea in front of them. The aroma of the tea is accompanied by the heat, and it has not dissipated for a long time.

"Brother Tianci didn't go anywhere else when he returned to Beijing, so he knew he would come to Wenxiang Pavilion?"

"Haha, there is a fragrance in the Wenxiang Pavilion, so I naturally came here to smell the fragrance."

"Food smell?"

"It's Fan Xiang, and it's not Fan Xiang." The speaker's gaze turned towards the storyteller.

These literati and poets just like to play tricks, but fortunately, the other party can understand what he said.

"That's right, everyone has been excited recently because of this."

"Okay! Your Majesty's next generation of virtuous monarchs, just for this matter, will surely be remembered forever!"

The person who was emotional this time was named Li Mengyang.

It is the person who is only one word away from Li Dongyang, the old man of the former pavilion.

Li Mengyang, whose style name is Tianci, was born in Anhua County, Qingyang Prefecture. He was born in a humble family, but he was talented in literature since he was a child. At the age of 21, he ranked first in the Shaanxi Provincial Examination.

Due to the consecutive loss of his parents, he went home to Dingyou to keep the system, and he became the head of the household department in the 11th year of Hongzhi.

At that time, the relatives Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and Marquis of Jianchang, Zhang Yanling were very fond of their relatives, and no one dared to ask.

However, Li Mengyang was not afraid of power, and wrote a letter bluntly, writing the famous "Ying Zhao Refers to Chen Shu",
Therefore, the Zhang brothers hated him deeply and framed him many times. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao, who was still the prince at the time, did his best to rescue Li Mengyang, so Li Mengyang was saved from disaster.

Later, Li Mengyang learned about the prince's affairs again, and his life-saving grace and moral recognition made him sincerely worship Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao also knew him, and also knew about the fight between two foreign relatives between Li Mengyang and Hongzhi in history.In his impression, Li Mengyang is very talented in humanities, but he is actually not a big official.

So in the concept, he is regarded as a writer and calligrapher, and he has no prejudice. Anyway, they like to show off their literary talents, so they can show it.

It's just that he has been very cautious in appointing Qingliu.

So Li Mengyang has been an official since the 11th year of Hongzhi, he can be said to have been suffering all the way.After working as the head of the household department for three years, he served as the county magistrate, the magistrate and the magistrate, and then became the magistrate again, and then the magistrate. Now that he has returned to Beijing after his term expires, it can be said that he has rich experience at the grassroots level.

The reason for this is that the emperor Zhu Houzhao didn’t think too much about making writers into big officials, and second, people with great literary talents like Li Mengyang have a good temper and personality. He is not the kind of tactful person. Sex can also offend people.

Another one, Li Mengyang and Li Dongyang have a bad relationship.

They are indeed mentors and apprentices. Li Mengyang admired Li Dongyang very much at first, and Li Dongyang also praised Li Mengyang in "The Postscript", saying that "Mengyang takes literature as the first solution, ascends to Jiake, and forges famous deeds."

But later they turned against each other because of the "Kanghai incident".

Kang Hai was the No. 15 scholar in the [-]th year of Hongzhi, and together with Li Mengyang and Wang Ting and others, he was called "the former seven sons", which is the title in the literary world.

Li Dongyang is the leader of the Chaling School of Poetry.

There is no need to go into details about the specific incident, it was a quarrel between literati. Simply put, when Kang Hai’s mother passed away, he did not follow the usual practice to invite Li Dongyang, a court elder and leader of the literary world, to write an inscription, but he invited Li Mengyang, and Li Mengyang agreed.

The so-called literati duplication and competition for names are nothing more than these things.

So in the officialdom, Li Mengyang suffered a lot.

Li Dongyang served as the chief assistant for a period of time after Liu Jian resigned, not because Li Dongyang deliberately made things difficult for him, but because no one would recommend Li Mengyang again, and others would not hesitate to dare to offend him.

After all, who would offend Li Dongyang for him?
Li Dongyang himself doesn't know how to put a hot face on a cold ass, and promote Li Mengyang on purpose, as long as he doesn't target him and has a clear conscience.

Fortunately, in the fourth year of Zhengde, Li Dongyang has been away for nearly two years, and Li Mengyang can finally return to Beijing.

As for the person he was talking to, his name was Bian Gong, his style name was Ting Shi, and he was also one of the former seven sons.

Now I am in the position of Taichang Temple Cheng, mainly in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple, that is, what special days, where to worship, and the etiquette of the emperor and ministers.

The biggest official in Taichang Temple is Taichang Temple Minister, as for Taichang Temple Prime Minister... Small officials, idle officials, first from the fifth rank, and later changed to the sixth rank.

The so-called "former seven sons" are also very powerful in the royal court. There is no way, they were recommended by Yang Yiqing, and later won the appreciation of the emperor.

But Li Mengyang is second to none if he really needs essay talent. He is proficient in Yan Zhenqing's brushwork and ancient poetry.Even though he was somewhat unhappy with Li Dongyang of the Chaling School of Poetry, Li Mengyang still has a place in the literary world, which is not easy in itself.

Bian Gong really didn't know that Li Mengyang returned to Beijing this time, he still admired his friend's poems and essays very much, and said: "Brother Tianci has returned to Beijing, how can there be no one to welcome him? Brother will do this. , Three days later, I will invite my friends to get together in the next post, thinking of congratulations!"

Li Mengyang shook his head, "Compared with the official affairs of the court, what is the celebration of a little Li Mengyang's return to Beijing? But brother Ting Shi said that it is a good thing to call friends. Some people, we may not see each other for a long time, every time I think of it, I still think about it." I feel that the few of us were the happiest when we were together to praise the past and talk about the present!"

"Brother Tianci, do you mean that we should celebrate the storyteller?"

"The fall of a treacherous eunuch is praised by everyone, isn't it worth celebrating?"

Bian Gong had no opinion, "It's worth it! Of course it's worth it! Brother Tianci, the Zuixian Tower is in the next street, and many people have visited it. I see, if this continues, someone should leave a book there. .”

What are you leaving the book for?
Naturally, it is an act of justice that praises the present day!

"It's time to leave a book to set an example for future generations! So that my Ming Dynasty will not suffer from eunuchs again." Li Mengyang himself is also a literati from a commoner background. He has long admired the current emperor, so he said with emotion: "Brother Ting Shi, you are actually careful Come to think of it, how many people have been able to do something similar to His Majesty throughout the ages? The Son of Heaven is a great virtue, and the country is a great blessing."

"That's right!" Bian Gong said, but he became angry, "Even if there is such an emperor, there are unworthy descendants like An Ni, and he wants to rebel!"

"That's a joke!" Li Mengyang clenched his fists.

He doesn't care about the others, how can such a virtuous emperor be changed?That's worth it.

It is said that there is also a call to arms.

Li Mengyang really couldn't understand, he was not a flatterer at first, but when he came to Beijing and heard about such things, as a righteous literati, he was of course angry.

The literati are angry, and the pen is his weapon.

Li Mengyang felt a little turbulent in his heart, no matter what, he felt that he should write a few words to justify the emperor's name among scholars and common people.

Killing a king of Anhua does not mean that the emperor disregards his blood relatives.

I don't know how many vassal princes and relatives in the world are so bad, so what if they kill a few more?
As soon as the majestic text is published, if it can be appreciated by the emperor, it may be possible to enter the palace to face the saint.

The more Li Mengyang thought about it, the more itchy his hands became, "Brother Ting Shi, then make an appointment in three days?"

"Okay! Three days later, Brother Tianci must have a good article to come out!"
