Chapter 417: Apprenticeship Ceremony
Qiu Ming was unwilling to bear the stigma, and he didn't dare to offend Zhao Zhong, so he had to be noncommittal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Zhong said angrily: "Since you insist on refusing, it is not difficult for us to think about it for you, you can go back and think about it yourself." The front has arrived at the Changqiu Palace, so we won't accompany you in, you can do it yourself. After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, and seemed to be very angry.
Tyuming was bored, why did he come from, he offended a powerful eunuch in vain, and his mother was very likely to affect his career. He walked anxiously to the Changqiu Palace, those eunuchs and palace maids were also very familiar with him, and he looked at all sides and no one paid attention, and hurriedly welcomed him into the palace.
Empress He was lazily pasting the palace flowers in the mirror, and when she saw Qiu Ming, she immediately said unhappily: "Why are you here?" Didn't I tell you that the palace didn't call you, and you weren't allowed to enter the palace to see the palace? ”
Qiu Ming was furious, I didn't come to be a duck for you, he swallowed his anger and said what he heard in Liu Yan's mansion, and Queen He was so frightened that she lost her face: "The Son of Heaven wants to let Bian'er go out of the palace and become a vassal?" What can I do? ”
Qiu Ming almost cried when she saw her, and hurriedly explained in detail the situation of the two kings and Shangshan Sihao, Queen He wiped her eyes and said: "I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I am a woman's family, just listen to you about these things." By the way, are the four old men you said willing to be the guests of the discernment? ”
Qiu Ming shook his head and said: "Impossible, they are all famous masters all over the world, how can they stoop to be guests?" It can only be that the prince worships them as his teachers, and uses his fame to make the Son of Heaven eliminate the desire to abolish the growth and the young, and must not despise these four people. ”
Empress He nodded again and again, and returned to her domineering appearance: "This matter is approved by the palace, you can arrange it yourself, remember not to enter my Changqiu Palace casually in the future, otherwise I will definitely punish you for trespassing in the palace." Qiu Ming was angry, and it didn't seem that she was joking, so she left the palace angrily.
In the next few days, the gossip from Luoyang was very loud, Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Huangfu Song, Xiang Long, even if only one of them was worshipped, he could already be famous in Shilin, and the eldest prince Liu Bian wanted to worship four at the same time this time? And a grand apprenticeship ceremony? How can you not witness such a good show? As a result, all the inns in the city were filled with scholars from nearby counties, and it was simply the second spring of the industry.
When the scholars were still excitedly discussing the apprenticeship ceremony a few days later, another gossip came out again, Huangfu Song's disciple, Cai Yong's son-in-law, Cheng Qiuming of Dengzhou County, who had been in the limelight a while ago, actually shamelessly worshiped Zhao Zhong, a regular servant of the Central Committee, as his father-in-law and became a member of the eunuch party. These scholars drank and recited poetry all day long in the inn, only hating themselves for being worried about the country and the people, but still cherishing their talents, and now they suddenly found a cathartic point for their emotions, and they all scolded endlessly.
Tyumen has been feeling very bad in the past few days, and when he walks in the streets and alleys, he feels that someone is pointing and poking his backbone, so he simply hides at home and pretends to be sick.
Dian Wei Baochu listened to Qiu Ming's story, and he was furious, and he wanted to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night and pick off Zhao Zhong's head, but he was drunk a few times by Huangfu Song, and he suddenly didn't dare to mention it again. Huangfu Song has long been soft to serve Shichang, Cai Yong was able to caress Dong Zhuo's corpse and sighed, it is not a very good concept of right and wrong, both of them persuaded Qiu Ming, since the matter has come to this point, it is better to simply make a mistake and directly recognize this father-in-law, and in the future, he can also take care of it more in the officialdom.
How could Qiu Ming be willing to tarnish his reputation, besides, he knew that Zhao Zhong would be able to live for another three or four years at most, where could he really help himself? For the advice of the two, he only accepted the wind and cold, lying on the bed and humming and chirping, and the two knew that he was unwilling in his heart, so they stopped persuading.
Fortunately, soon the high platform of Tongtuo Street has been erected, and the apprenticeship ceremony can finally be officially launched. On the day of the ceremony, Qiuming's illness was cured without medicine, and he got up from the bed and shouted for Cai Wenji to find him the most magnificent dress.
Tongluo Street has long been crowded with thousands of people, but Tyumen, as the organizer, and there are such rough men as Dian Wei Bao to open the way, it didn't take much effort to get to the innermost. I saw that in the middle of the two huge copper camels, there was a wooden platform that was a few feet high, almost occupying the road surface between the two camels, and passers-by had to climb over the copper camels.
On the wooden platform, a long banner was pulled, and the big book read: The opening ceremony of Dengzhou Wenwu Vocational School. Some onlookers who didn't know the truth were asking: "Didn't you say that today you will learn from the prince?" Why is the content on this banner wrong? Someone next to him immediately said: "I heard that this school is run by several great sages who want to worship the prince, and it is estimated that the prince is regarded as the first student of the school." ”
The man in front of him was about to ask again, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Tyumen is coming, Tyuming is coming." He hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" Which is it? After someone pointed it out to him, this person immediately flew out with a rotten egg and smashed it on Qiu Ming's face, and at the same time scolded: "Eunuch lackey, shameless traitor, still has the face to see the corporal of the world? ”
Tyumen was wearing new clothes and hats, and was in a good mood, and was about to walk up to the wooden platform to give an exciting speech and make a good advertisement for the Dengzhou school. This time the egg flew and hit him on the left cheek, and his eyes were suddenly confused, and his face was spent, and he looked like a clown who was about to appear on the stage.
Tyumen shouted angrily: "Who dares to smash me? Suddenly, the crowd erupted in countless responses: "I". With the sound, countless eggs, lettuce, coriander, and gourds smashed over like flying locusts, and Dian Weibao saw that it was not a head, and hurriedly flashed aside, so Tyumen greeted the baptism of the storm like a standing arrow target.
Finally the attack was paused, and Dian Weibao came back from his pocket, and saw Qiuming's smudges all over his body, and he still had a broken egg in his open mouth. Bao Chu hurriedly helped him take out the eggs, and said with a smile: "You are so fierce, you don't even hide." Tyumen said indistinctly: "Eggs, it's not like I haven't eaten them." ”
Seeing Qiuming's appearance, he must not be able to appear in front of people anymore, so the two took him to a nearby teahouse and asked for some water to wash Qiuming's face. Qiu Ming had no choice but to watch Cai Yong walk up to the wooden platform with a smile from afar, saying the words and phrases he had carefully prepared all night, winning bursts of applause. Then the prince's car arrived, and the upright apprentice, the people in the audience applauded continuously, and the scene was very lively.
However, the excitement is theirs, and I have nothing. Tyuming covered his face with Jinpa, and softly chanted: "The crown is covered with Jinghua, and the Si people are alone and haggard." ”
