Chapter 292: It's good to die of old age

Remember [58] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.

It's been too long since anyone mentioned the name of the old dean, so it has been forgotten, and there is no one in the world who can still call the old dean's name, even if it is Your Majesty, call the old dean in front of people, and call him Mr. in private, Your Majesty was in the academy before the age of fifteen, and Your Majesty was in the military after the age of fifteen.

The road follows me.

The meaning of these three words is simple, but the road follows me.

The door of the scholar's house was gently tapped, and the gatekeeper inside replied impatiently: "It's late at night, and there are no guests." ”

"I'm sorry to let you know, Yanta Academy Road is coming from me."

The gatekeeper snorted: "The road doesn't do anything, who do you think you are?" Do you know what this place is? ”

The old dean standing at the door sighed slightly, thinking that Mu Zhaotong rarely scolded himself at home, but he was also pleased.

With a snap, there was a crisp slap sound from inside, followed by Mu Zhaotong's angry scolding: "Get out of here!" ”

The gatekeeper who was beaten didn't know what was going on, he just felt a little wronged, he guarded the door conscientiously, and he didn't follow your instructions, no one was allowed to open the door? The way of knocking on the door is not right, and it is not your own person who naturally comes.

Mu Zhaotong personally opened the courtyard door, and a smile was already on his face: "Why is the old dean here, what's the urgency at this big night?" ”

The gatekeeper who was hiding on the side suddenly shook his head when he heard the three words of the old dean, and then raised his hand and gave himself a slap, which was louder than the previous beating of the university soldier, the scholar had never beaten anyone at home, because of his status there, and it was a matter of losing his identity to beat someone casually, but tonight he was unsettled, and he regretted it after this slap, because he knew that Lu Congwu could see from this slap that he was in an uncertain mood.

"Nothing important."

The old dean raised his hand and carried two jugs of wine in his hands: "It's just that there is some peace in the academy tonight, so I thought about finding a place to hide, after thinking about it, the safest place in Chang'an City is naturally the Imperial Palace, and I can't hide if Your Majesty is not in the Imperial City, so I have to come to you, you are very safe." ”

Mu Zhaotong smiled: "I'm here? ”

The order came from the university office, and of course it was safe.

Then he reacted: "What happened in the academy?" ”

The old dean had already entered the door by himself: "It's nothing, some people deceive the academy, thinking that the academy is full of people who read and will not fight." ”

Mu Zhaotong followed behind him: "Come on, I'll ask Shuntianfu to send someone over immediately." ”

The old dean saw that the light in the living room was on, so he went directly to the door and found a place to sit down: "Where's the tea?" When I came to your house before, you weren't hospitable. ”

Many years ago, two people complemented each other in the court, both regarded each other as confidants, only the two of them could be called the old ministers of the three dynasties in this court, and when they were just officials in the same dynasty, both of them were less than thirty years old, how high-spirited they were at that time?

"I didn't have any good tea at home at that time."

Mu Zhaotong couldn't help but think that when the old dean first came, he was wearing a very new dress and a prepared gift, which was worthless but obviously carefully selected...... A box of shortbread, a cake of tea, and a book of 10,000 words.

The book of 10,000 words is to be played by His Majesty, and he came to ask himself to check for him.

"That year, I was like twenty-six."

The old dean sat down on the chair and moved his limbs comfortably: "You are smaller than me, and your yard was much smaller than here at that time. ”

Mu Zhaotong: "Which one is like you, you haven't even had a home for decades as an official." ”

"I have a academy."

The old dean looked at the tea that the next person put on the coffee table: "Do you remember the fold I brought at the beginning?" ”

Mu Zhaotong sat down next to him: "How could you forget...... There is a sentence that I often use to remind myself now, for the sake of the saints and the eternal peace, at that time you were really like a knife, and every word was ambitious. ”

The old dean sighed: "So Your Majesty said, you have such a big ambition, and you still don't want to teach and educate people?" ”

Mu Zhaotong laughed, forgetting the embarrassment just now.

On this night, he was going to kill him.

Someone in the courtyard outside ran in quickly, wanting to tell him about tonight's defeat, and when he ran to the door, he saw the old dean sitting in the living room of the scholar talking and laughing...... The person you want to kill is here, is it possible that you can still do it here?

Mu Zhaotong saw that person's face was immediately ugly, and the embarrassment that had just dissipated regathered on his face, even if he deliberately suppressed it, he still showed a point or two, but the old dean didn't seem to care about this, he just squinted his eyes and recalled the past.

"In the eighteenth year of Qianhe, you are the head of the household, and I am the dean of the academy."

The old dean said: "You carried a bag of peanuts that you bought casually halfway to the academy to find me, and showed me the book of ten thousand words you wrote, I didn't sleep all night, but I changed it back and forth, I could only change seven words for you, and then I thought that those seven words didn't need to be changed, so I changed it again...... Ten thousand words, every word of you cannot be deleted, it can be seen that you are attentive. ”

"In the twenty-second year of Qianhe, the treasury revenue doubled, and at that time, His Majesty asked you what you wanted, and you said that you just wanted to do your best for Daning."

The old dean glanced at Mu Zhaotong: "In the twenty-eighth year of Qianhe, you are in charge of the cabinet, and I am still the dean of the academy, you have not come to the academy since that time, and I have never entered your house again." ”

Mu Zhaotong looked ashamed: "We are all too busy. ”

The old dean said: "I was so busy that I forgot, we are from the same school." ”

Mu Zhaotong was stunned, bowed his head and said nothing.

"How long has it been since I went to incense my husband?"

"Yes, it's been more than 20 years."

"Thirty-two years."

The old dean said in a flat tone: "It's been thirty-two years, and I don't see any traces of your visit before Mr.'s grave." ”

Mu Zhaotong lowered his head a little deeper: "I'm ashamed of Mr." ”

The old dean said: "Shameful? Twelve years ago, on the day of my husband's death, I didn't come to you but someone sent you a letter asking why you didn't go to offer incense to your husband for 20 years, do you remember how you replied to me? ”

Mu Zhaotong raised his head: "I don't have time, so Mr. won't blame me." ”

The old dean snorted: "Those few words, you are right, you are right, you work hard for Daning, and set an example for Wanchen to govern the people, you said that you don't have time, and you can't remember the death date of Mr., at that time I was thinking, sure enough, the useless person is me, the person who makes Mr. proud is you, you are busy for Daning and even forgot about Mr.'s death day, Mr. naturally won't blame you, but just now you said that you were ashamed?" ”

He spilled the tea in the cup: "Change the wine." ”

Mu Zhaotong sighed: "How can you be a useless person? Over the years, how many important ministers in the court have come from the academy, after you take charge of the academy, not to mention the civil officials, there are also many people in the Daning soldiers who are your protΓ©gΓ©s, even Pei Tingshan has to bow his head in front of you and greet him with a student courtesy, why should you be humble? ”

"So you remember."

The old dean took a sip of wine: "I thought you forgot, you once said that I was too ambitious and taught the academy into a martial arts academy, with ill intentions." ”

That was what Mu Zhaotong said in the book back then, but His Majesty the Emperor at that time was not the current one, but the current one's brother.

So His Majesty at that time reprimanded the old dean, and asked him to teach and educate people in An'an and not think nonsense, but the dean is still him, and the academy has not changed, and the old dean still does his own thing, but everyone can see that he is slowly isolated from the power of the court, and it is from that time that Mu Zhaotong is alone in the court, and how many courtiers from the academy will also run to worship him as a disciple.

The old dean suddenly asked, "At that time, did you ever wonder why I hadn't died of old age?" ”

Mu Zhaotong pondered for a moment: "Now I'm also curious, why don't you die of old age?" ”

The old dean laughed: "You think about it, I think about it." ”

Mu Zhaotong was stunned, carefully savoring the meaning of these five words.

"It's good to die of old age."

The old dean took a look, and a few more people in the courtyard rushed in as if they wanted to report something, but after seeing him, they were all stunned, and then retreated with a frightened face, and there were already four or five groups of people.

So he laughed, smiling a little proudly.

I'll sit next to you and see how you go ahead and kill me.

"There are many splendid rivers and mountains, one person, how good it is to leave the splendid scenery to the rivers and mountains, don't let the rivers and mountains dye old."

The old dean shook his glass: "What do you think?" ”

Mu Zhaotong: "You're drunk." ”

The old dean shrugged his shoulders: "I was drunk and awake, you didn't drink, you were drunk." ”

He got up: "The four words I just said, do you think your life is the most fulfilling?" ”

"What four words?"

"It's good to die of old age."

After saying these four words, the old dean got up: "Seeing that your courtyard is not clean, I should go back to the academy." ”

Mu Zhaotong got up: "If you die of old age, will there be descendants who will hold the can?" ”

The old dean stopped.

Mu Zhaotong said: "I don't." ”

The old dean glanced back at him: "I have?" ”

The old dean never married in his life, so naturally he had no heirs.

Mu Zhaotong was silent: "You planned it from the beginning?" ”

The old dean didn't answer, it seemed that he was really a little drunk, his steps were swaying, Mu Zhaotong went up to help him, just like the old dean's book of ten thousand words was praised by His Majesty many years ago, the two found a tavern and got drunk, just like Mu Zhaotong's book of ten thousand words was adopted by His Majesty many years ago, and the two were still drunk in that tavern, and then the next day they were criticized by the people of Yushitai in front of His Majesty for being useless.

"Thank you."

The old dean said two words, but Mu Zhaotong's hand was stiff.

Thank you?

How far away are two words.

After the old dean went out, he looked back at the plaque on the door of the university scholar's mansion, and then laughed, and he didn't know why he laughed, but Mu Zhaotong felt that the laughter was full of sarcasm, so he was very annoyed and angry.

"You shouldn't have come today."

He looked at the back of the old dean: "You shouldn't mention the past." ”

The old dean raised his hand with his back to him and shook it, as if to say ...... Good bye.

Or, never again?

The old dean got in the car and left, Mu Zhaotong turned around and walked back, suddenly shook, a pain in his chest, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground, and the subordinates hurriedly came to help him and pushed him away, he stumbled to the room as if he was drunk: "Old death? Is it good to die of old age? Hahahaha...... There is no one to rely on before old age and death, where is it good? ”

The laughter was terrifying, and everyone was scared to come closer.

......

......
