Chapter 212: Green Words
Qingzi is a Taoist chapter dedicated to the heavens when the Jiao Festival is held.
In fact, it's very similar to the chatter words in the mouths of those folk dance masters, which will sound unclear, but in fact, they are just some beautiful and smooth words, which are meaningless, empty and boring, and have nothing to do with literary style.
It's just that "if there is something good at the top, it will be attached to the bottom", because of the cultivation of the Tao, Jiajing needs to have quality and quantity of green words, so writing a good hand of green words has become an important criterion for entering the cabinet.
Statistics show that 17 years after Jiajing, nine of the 14 auxiliary ministers in the cabinet started by writing green words. Now the first assistant Yan Hao and the second assistant Xu Jie of the Ming Dynasty are both top masters of green words, and the other two cabinet ministers Li Ben and Zhang Zhi are also masters of green words.
But no one thought that this heavy responsibility would now fall on the shoulders of the three of them, and it would become an important proof to prove their innocence.
Lin Haoran was really physically and mentally exhausted, and his body was already crumbling, but now he had to rack his brains to write this kind of article, which was clearly asking for their old lives.
It's just that the previous big words have been said in front, and this is the assessment content set by the first and second assistants of the Ming Dynasty, how can they shirk it? Do you want to be free?
This smiley tiger!
Lin Haoran stared at Xu Jie, who was sitting on it, this old guy didn't have a good heart at the beginning, and he was obviously digging a pit and waiting for them to jump. Now they dare to go back on their word, afraid that they will really go back and sit through the cell.
It was naturally impolite to look directly at the other party, and when Xu Jie raised his head and looked up gently, he also put away the fierceness in his eyes and replaced it with just the right amount of solemnity.
"Huh...... Don't put too much pressure on yourself, as long as you write with your heart, the emperor will definitely be able to see your sincerity, and will naturally give you the fairest judgment! Xu Jie smiled slightly, and encouraged the three of them again.
It's just that these words fell into the ears of the three of them, and they gasped again, this green word was actually going to be presented to the emperor, and the pressure was immediately great. I am used to seeing the green words written by top masters like Yan Song and Xu Jie, and their green words are not thrown away like waste paper?
"Yes!"
The three of them looked at each other, and they could only agree to it, but in fact, there was no other choice.
Just as he was about to step towards the table over there, Xu Jie suddenly stopped Lin Haoran, as if inadvertently asking, "Xie Yuanlang, why do I think you are a little familiar?" Oh, you visited Wu Shangshu's house that day, and I happened to be out of the house, as if I had met once! ”
Lin Haoran's mood improved slightly, this handsome person is really different. That day was just a face-to-face, but the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty remembered him, naturally thanks to this beautiful face.
It's just that he was a little more vigilant, and said with a smile: "Elder Ge is wrong, I really wanted to see Elder Ge that day, but Elder Ge was summoned into the palace, so I didn't get my wish." ”
"You are not a pastime old man, we are not relatives, why did you visit the old man, but your mentor Yin Tai has an old friend with Wu Shan!" Xu Jie's expression of seeing through the truth was revealed, and he shook his head slightly.
"Ge Lao is the master of the Ming Dynasty, the master of my generation, I wanted to listen to your teachings that day. It's just that I mistakenly believed the rumors, thinking that you were presiding over the exam, so I didn't dare to bother, please forgive me! Lin Haoran gave his hand again, looking very respectful.
"I see, I didn't expect you to come to visit the old man that day, it seems that the old man misunderstood, and go to compose the lyrics!" Xu Jie looked suddenly enlightened, and waved his hand at him gently, but a look of loss flashed in his eyes.
"Yes!" Lin Haoran gave up his hand, but he smelled a different smell.
At this moment, he found that the officialdom of Daming was far from being as simple as he imagined, and if he wanted to survive here, he was afraid that it would not be much easier than the situation when he was in Changlin Village.
It's just that he just dodged a hidden arrow, but he ushered in an open gun.
Since everyone in the world knows that today's saints like green words, and they all try to curry favor with the saints through green words, it is not a secret that the style of green words is not a secret. Even at the literary meeting, there were many people who took out green words to show off, hoping to gain the favor of the elder or Jiajing.
But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to be able to write this kind of sycophant article well. What's even worse is that they don't know Jiajing's hobbies at all, and it's only appropriate to pat a few points.
Like some women, they like to start by pulling the little thumb and have to keep a distance of one meter when pulling, but some women buy condoms when they meet for the first time, and they have to buy a dozen when they buy them.
In this way, the three of them faced the white rice paper on the table, and the color of the paper seemed to be directly reflected in their minds, and it was really empty.
What made them even more painful was that their bodies were already weak and their brains were buzzing. I have exhausted my physical and mental strength in order to write a good article before, and now I have to rack my brains to write such a difficult green word, which is really a huge torture.
It's just that the three of them understand that this is a difficulty.
Although you can't write well, you may not be charged with fraud, but I am afraid that you will have to go back to prison. If you want to be free now, you have to grit your teeth and get through this.
The three of them exchanged glances, encouraged each other, and decided to try to write a good word.
Call......
Lin Haoran only wrote down more than 30 words, stretched out his hand to support his waist, and found that this table that was neither high nor low was very tricky. Not only are my legs tired, but my waist is also very uncomfortable, and the whole person is like a crumbling wall.
No way...... Tiger girl!
Lin Haoran's brain was buzzing, and his eyes were gradually dimming, but just as he was about to close his eyes, a small figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of his sister who was looking forward to his return at home.
When he thought of the tiger girl, a strong belief surged in his heart. He can't have anything, he can't let the tiger girl be lonely, he has to continue to shelter his sister from the wind and rain, and watch the tiger girl grow up happily.
"Luoshui Xuangui Chu Xianrui, Yin number nine, Yang number nine, nine hundred and eighty-one numbers, the number is through the Tao, the Tao is the beginning of the Tianzun, and there is a sense of sincerity."
Lin Haoran gritted his teeth, and in order to keep the font beautiful, he even bit the tip of his tongue a little, letting the pain stimulate his potential, and he was really fighting against the sky.
But I don't know if it was the tiger girl who brought him strength, or the pain on the tip of his tongue activated some of his potential, and he felt that he could hold on for a while.
Bang!
Suddenly, a heavy object slammed into the table and fell to one side.
Lin Haoran turned his head to look, but saw that Yang Futian could no longer support it, and fell down like a mess of mud.
Bang!
Yang Futian fell in the direction where Ning Jiang was, and Ning Jiang wanted to reach out to catch Yang Futian, but his feet only took half a step, and the whole person also lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the ground.
Obviously, the two of them have run out of energy and can't hold on any longer.
Lin Haoran witnessed this scene, and then looked up at Xu Jie in the lobby, but found that the person continued to review the test papers indifferently, and suddenly wanted to laugh, and his eyes instantly turned red.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Haoran arched his hand in that direction, endured the sourness in his heart and said, "Elder Xu Ge, I'll wait for the three of you to give up and send us back to the cell!" ”
"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly ask someone to check what's going on with the two of them!" Xu Jie seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and said loudly to the scribes in the hall.
An official seemed to know some medical skills, walked up to check, and then said to Xu Jie: "It's just that I fainted!" ”
"Fainted? It can't really be cheating, so you're scared, right? Another official walked over, but with a nonchalant expression.
Lin Haoran's mouth moved, but he finally gave up, knowing that these words of defense did not make the slightest sense. They have been caught in a puzzle and become pawns for some people to fiddle with.
"It's too early to say, and let's see how well they write their words!" Xu Jie disagrees with that conclusion, but he doesn't seem to be completely against it.
He came to Ningjiang's desktop, frowned, walked to Yang Futian's desktop, shook his head again, followed Lin Haoran to look at each other, and then casually swept to the rice paper on the table, and the whole person seemed to be completely stunned.
