Chapter 683: Legendary Character

"Have you heard of the name Yang Yuanqing?"

Gu Jiu asked straight to the point.

Huang Qubing was young, and he was still wondering where he had heard this name before, but Deng Cunli had already remembered it.

"The old slave has heard of this man before."

Gu Jiu looked at Huang Qubing.

Huang Qubing also remembered, "I've heard about this man, but I haven't seen him."

Deng Cunli said: "I am lucky to have met this man once."

In the room, Gu Ting, the only one who was in a dazed state, hurriedly asked: "Is Yang Yuanqing very good? How do you all know him?"

Gu Jiu gestured to Deng Cunli.

Deng Cunli bowed slightly, and said softly: "Yang Yuanqing, a person from the south of the Yangtze River, is the only Sanyuangong in this dynasty, Xieyuan, Huiyuan, and the number one scholar. He is also the youngest number one scholar in this dynasty since the founding of the Taizu. He was twenty-four years old. He was chosen as the number one scholar by the first emperor."

"what!"

Gu Ting was shocked, unexpectedly, he really was a big guy.

"You're not talking about the Yang Yuanqing I know?" Gu Ting was still confused.

Huang Qubing asked excitedly: "Little General Gu knows Yang Yuanqing?"

Gu Ting said in a daze: "I know a man named Yang Yuanqing, but he must not be the Sanyuan Gong you mentioned."

Then he whispered again: "Dignified Duke Sanyuan, how could he be so miserable."

Deng Cunli laughed when he heard the words, "To be precise, Yang Yuanqing is the Duke of Wuyuan. The county examination and the government examination are all the cases. Only the hospital examination, because he slept in the examination room, was denounced as misbehavior. In order to let He corrected his attitude and learned his lesson, Xuezheng lord deliberately ranked him second.

Later, Yang Yuanqing joined Zhongjie Yuan, Huiyuan, and the number one scholar, becoming the only Sanyuan Gong in this dynasty. The senior academician beat his chest and stamped his feet. The original Liuyuan Gong was reduced to Sanyuan Gong because of his strict requirements. This incident has become a regret in Xuezheng's life. The old slave remembered that when Yang Yuanqing had an accident, Master Xuezheng personally came forward to speak out for him. It's a pity that no one can change the late emperor's decision. "

This time even Gu Jiu was shocked, "So, Yang Yuanqing should be Liu Yuangong?"

"Exactly!"

Deng Cunli continued: "This man has been famous since he was a child.

Father Yang was afraid that he would be young and mad, and he didn't know the severity, so he kept suppressing him. He was not released to take the imperial examination until he was eighteen.

After that, he passed all the way and easily won the imperial examination. He was in the limelight in those years. There are rumors about him all over the country. General Gu is studying in the academy, so he should have heard of his deeds. "

Gu Ting had a guilty look on his face, he could only laugh heck.

When I was studying, I was busy fishing and sleeping, who would care about an unsuccessful Sanyuangong.

Gu Jiu asked, "Was Yang Yuanqing exiled to the northwest?"

Deng Cunli nodded, then looked at Huang Qubing again.

Huang Qubing hurriedly said: "I know a little about this. Yang Yuanqing was the number one scholar in the eleventh year of Kaiyao. The late emperor admired him very much, and personally said that he is a young talent. However, this man is proud of his talent, young and vigorous, and even wrote poems to mock the late emperor. .

Later, he was implicated in a big case of treason. He was supposed to be beheaded, but the late emperor took pity on his talent and changed his sentence to exile. The old scholar that General Gu met in the northwest was probably Sanyuan Gong Yang Yuanqing. "

Gu Ting was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

He couldn't connect that dirty and down-and-out old man with the arrogant and suave Sanyuan Gong that people said.

"You leave me alone."

He just saw that the old scholar was pitiful and had no serious business, so he introduced the old scholar to work in the express station out of sympathy.

There is a lot of writing work at the express station, and Lao Xiu is just right for this.

Nowhere did he think that the old man who was randomly picked out from the junk pile would be a legend of Shilin and a bigwig in the literary world.

Mrs. Incredible.

What kind of luck is he.

Gu Jiu's eyes were shining brightly, as if he had picked up a treasure.

She asked: "How is Yang Yuanqing's reputation in Shilin?"

Deng Cunli knew about this matter. After all, he came from that era. "Many people in Shilin sympathized with his experience. At that time, Yang Yuanqing published two collections of essays, which were the best-selling books in Shilin. Almost everyone had a copy. Even if something happened to him later, there were those who made trouble, and more often they ran and shouted for him.

If he is still in the court, the old slave can be sure that he will become a veritable leader of the Jiangnan literary world when he is no more than thirty years old. His exile caused heavy losses to the Jiangnan literary world, and he was unable to recover for a long time. "

After a pause, Deng Cunli said in a low voice: "The old slave said something outrageous. The fundamental reason why Yang Yuanqing was exiled was that he wrote poems to ridicule the late emperor, and he was hated by the late emperor. Just happened to encounter a treason case, and he was implicated in the case for an unfounded reason. .

On the bright side, the first emperor didn't behead him, it seemed to be a kindness. But he ordered to be pardoned or not. At the same time, local governments suppressed the Yang family intentionally or unintentionally. Over the years, under the suppression of the government, the Yang family has been devastated. "

Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, "I knew that the late emperor was narrow-minded and loved to hold grudges the most. Yang Yuanqing was young and energetic, and wrote poems to ridicule the late emperor based on his status, so he was not wronged to be exiled.

However, the first emperor was very temperamental, and exile alone was obviously not enough to calm his anger. If he is pardoned or not, he suppresses the Yang family just to vent his anger. Through this act, the first emperor told the world that he could hold out a Sanyuan Gong, and he could also destroy this Sanyuan Gong when he turned his head. This is the supreme imperial power. Whoever dares to oppose the imperial power will end up like this. "

After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu's eyes swept over everyone's faces, "I plan to bring Yang Yuanqing back to the capital and hire him to teach at Shanhe Academy, what do you think?"

"This?"

Deng Cunli frowned, "His identity is a big problem."

Huang Qubing waved his folding fan, "He is very famous. If he is willing to teach at Shanhe Academy, Shanhe Academy will become famous all over the world in no time. Good, great! At that time, whoever dares to slander Shanhe Academy that there are no famous teachers in the hall, I will beat him."

Gu Ting shook his head, "Wait a minute. He was exiled in the northwest, how did he get back to the capital?"

Gu Jiu smiled, "Of course it depends on His Majesty's imperial edict."

Huang Qubing hurriedly said: "I can't do anything about it. It's okay to ask me to collect the test papers, but it's really beyond my power to reverse the case for Yang Yuanqing."

Gu Jiu said: "I'll figure it out. But first, I have to send someone to the northwest to formally confirm his identity. Don't make the wrong person in the end. It will be a lot of fun."

Huang Qubing said: "Confirming the identity is simple, just send an official document to the northwest and ask the local government to cooperate, and the matter can be done. The hard part is how to persuade His Majesty to reverse the case for Yang Yuanqing?"

Yes, how to reverse the case for Yang Yuanqing?

In Gu Jiu's mind, he already had a preliminary idea, but it wasn't detailed enough.

This matter has to rely on Liu Zhao to come forward.

Gu Jiu has always kept her identity in mind, she is a businessman, the prince's wife, and only involved in business matters. She will never appear in court affairs, appointment and dismissal of officials, etc.

Gu Yu served as the county magistrate of Xinmin County, which was the only time she came forward to be an important official.

She knew very well that it was a taboo to extend her hand too long.

The matter in the court should be resolved by Liu Zhao, which is justified.

Gu Jiu couldn't care less about publishing books to make money, so she led Gu Ting back to Xiaozhu in a hurry.

Liu Zhao was bored, fishing in the yard.

Seeing her pull Gu Ting back, he greeted her, "I will eat fish at night, I caught the fish myself."

Gu Jiu stared at him with bright eyes.

Liu Zhao was taken aback, "It's all right!"

Gu Jiu asked him excitedly, "Yang Yuanqing, do you know?"

Liu Zhao was at a loss at first, then suddenly realized, and finally he couldn't believe it.

"Three Yuan Gong Yang Yuanqing?"

Gu Jiu nodded heavily, his eyes were particularly bright, and there was clearly a light shining inside.

Who is Yang Yuanqing?

Not only Sanyuan Gong, but also the top imperial examination talent of this era.

All other scholars have to bow down in front of him and call him a big boss.

Being able to recruit such talents to the banner, Gu Jiu felt that his heartbeat was not normal anymore. So excited.

"Is he still alive?" Liu Zhao asked in disbelief.

Gu Jiu laughed loudly, "He's not dead, he's still alive. He's currently working as a courier at the courier station."

Liu Zhao: "..." There are so many awesome courier stations that are eligible for San Yuangong to work there and earn hard money.

"Are you sure it's Sanyuan Gong Yang Yuanqing?"

"I'm planning to send someone to the northwest to confirm his identity. I want to use him and recruit him to teach at Shanhe Academy. Can you help him reverse the case?"

Liu Zhao blinked, and looked at Gu Jiu in shock, "You actually want to use him? He has a great reputation, but he has a lot of troubles. If you use him, Shanhe Academy will never have a peaceful life.

At that time, Yang Yuanqing once uttered harsh words: since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. After Yang Yuanqing, there is no need to argue about the number one in the literary world. I don't know how many people's envy and hatred have been aroused by these words. When he had an accident, so many people fell into trouble, and it was inseparable from his outspokenness. "

Gu Jiu said: "He has been exiled for thirty years, no matter how wild and unruly he is, the edges and corners have been smoothed by time. Brother, the old scholar you know is a person who is proud of his talent, has his eyes above his head, and speaks without restraint?"

Gu Ting shook his head again and again, "It's basically two people. He just likes to drink, his mouth is a little bit broken, other things are fine."

Gu Jiu laughed, "Look, he is no longer the young and arrogant Yang Yuanqing back then. Now he is more solid after precipitation. With his talent and reputation in the literary world, it is worthy of us to reverse the case for him. How much money does it cost? Speak."

Gu Jiu looked rich and powerful.

Liu Zhao frowned: It's so troublesome, so troublesome.

He really didn't want to take this kind of trouble on himself.

"It's not a matter of money. Of course, it's easier to use money to open the way. To accomplish this, there is someone who may be able to help."

"Who?" Gu Jiu asked curiously.

Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course it is Mr. Li who ordered Zhongshu."

The former Li Shizhong is now the order of Zhongshu. Although there is no name of prime minister, there is the reality of prime minister.

It is very appropriate for Master Li to come forward to handle this matter.

Mr. Li, who was in the yamen at the moment, sneezed three times in a row.

"Who is thinking about the old man?"

He rubbed his nose, feeling ominous.

Which bastard is plotting against him again?
