Chapter 291 Go to Anxi
Chang'an City has always been a place where news cannot be hidden. Even the secrets of the palace in the Daming Palace, there are many rumors in the market. Although most of them are naughty hearsays, Chen Guang was in front of Qinzheng Building this time, in front of the court, the officials and envoys of various countries were all in the limelight.
Therefore, there are many rumors in the market that are extremely detailed. For example, among the envoys of the vassal states, there are small foreign countries in Tianzhu, Jixi, and Tianzhu, kneeling down on the spot. They also said with certainty that Chen Guang was the reincarnation of King Jinna Luo Bodhisattva, and said that Chen Guang had colorful clouds when playing music, and jewelry and garlands hung down, which made the saints today speak out and enthrone the saints.
In short, in just two or three days, many jokes were heard in the feast in front of Qinzheng Building that the people of Chang'an City were talking about.
Outside Huaiyuanfang, seeing that the crowd of people coming to pay tribute to Chen Lang's musical scores were almost crowded in front of Lu Bu, Cen Shen couldn't help but say, "Chen Lang is smart. He actually lived in the house of Jingshi Yang, but it made us suffer."
Seeing Cen Shen with a bitter face, Du Fu thought of the many visits he had sent to the Shi Mansion in the past few days and those who visited him, he couldn't help but rub the muscles that were a little stiff because of laughing too much. Chen Lang and him had the kindness of knowing each other, so they naturally wanted to repay them with all their strength.
Fortunately, Du Fu is not unfamiliar with the scene of seeing off the crowd. He was born as a child of an official, and he has been in a broad relationship since he was a child and has seen the world. In the past two days, he has come forward to deal with those difficult people.
"Brother Du, I want to go to Anxi now..."
Cen Shen was nagging there, how many years younger than Du Fu, and with a proud young man and a high school Jinshi, even if his family was in decline, he could still be considered smooth sailing. He had never suffered any hardships, so he naturally couldn't stand those noble people who were polite.
"If Cen Lang really can't stay, you might as well talk to the Protector. It's okay to go to Anxi by yourself."
Du Fu said, Cen Shen's temper was too honest, and it was not like he had experienced the coldness of his life. Cen Shen had offended many people when he spoke in the past two days. Although most of them were saved by him, if he continued to stay, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble for Chen Lang.
"Does Brother Du dislike me?"
Cen Shen knew Du Fu's temperament, and he knew that his temper was not good, but he was really not used to the scene of smiling and polite words.
"Cen Lang has long been yearning for the scenery of the border areas, so why not set out first and slowly appreciate the beautiful rivers and mountains along the way."
Du Fu said seriously that after spending time with Shen Guang for a long time, he was naturally affected. He felt that people like Cen Shen and Brother Taibai were indeed not suitable to stay in the court as officials, otherwise they would be frustrated to death.
During these days, Du Fu became famous because of Shen Guang. I don’t know how many people posted a post to invite him to a banquet and to attend poetry meetings, but he was no longer the unrestrained young man who followed Li Bai back then. He was so frugal that he naturally knew what these people came for.
"Since that's the case, I'll go to Anxi to wait for Brother Du first."
Cen Shen was also happy. He thought that he would continue to stay, but he would not be able to help. Besides, he had completed many procedures for changing his official positions at the Ministry of Personnel. Now he is a serious judge in the Anxi Protectorate.
In addition, Feng Changqing also stocked up more than 20 foreign students from the vassal states, preparing to send them to Anxi to be a penman, and he happened to ask him to take these subordinates with him, so everyone would get familiar with them in advance.
Cen Shen was preparing to go to Anxi to show his strength. He was not as if he had killed other people as an official in Anxi, so he was particularly concerned about Feng Changqing's plans.
Seeing Cen Shen leave in a breeze, Du Fu felt that Cen Shen's trip to the Anxi Army was a good thing. He was always better than staying in Chang'an City to wasting his time, and he still had to suffer the vicissitudes of the birds.
In fact, if it weren't for the provincial examination next month, he would have wanted to go to Anxi Army in advance. Although it is no longer so important for him to pass the Jinshi exam or not, this is what he once thought.
...
"Shi Shi Feng, I want to go to Yancheng first and take those international students to get to know the Protectorate."
Cen Shen went straight to Feng Changqing and said straight to the point. Feng Changqing, who was writing official documents, raised his head, looked at Cen Shen who broke in, put down his pen and laughed, "I'm still thinking about when Cen Lang will come to find me!"
While speaking, Feng Changqing took out the official documents and tokens that had been prepared for the identity verification from the table in front of him and threw them to Cen Shen. Chen Lang wanted to take the provincial examination. Only after he passed the Jinshi would he be granted marriage. His lord would definitely not be relieved that Chen Lang stayed alone in Chang'an City. At that time, they would be very short of time to rush back to Anxi from Chang'an.
Those international students and Cen Shen couldn't stand this kind of trouble, so it was appropriate to ask them to go to Anxi first.
After taking the token and the official documents and notes of the Junshou, Cen Shen laughed, "It's still Feng Changshi knows me!"
Feng Changqing looked at Cen Shen, who was tall and strong, and always felt that Cen Lang was more like a warrior, and he didn't know how he passed the Jinshi exam.
"Those international students were selected by someone themselves, and they were devoted to the Tang Dynasty. Don't treat them slowly."
Feng Changqing thought that although Cen Shen was heroic and generous, he was still a little arrogant as a scholar, so he specifically instructed that those international students were not like those scholars from Chen Lang who had been betrayed to Anxi, and that they could really keep them in Anxi to settle down and start a family.
"Don't worry, Changshi Feng, I can reflect on myself."
Cen Shen agreed repeatedly, although he didn't look down on those small vassal states, these people are now subordinates and colleagues in the Anxi Army, so how could he make things difficult for others?
"Then go, and we will set off to Anxi tomorrow. The journey is long and it is not as easy as traveling in the pass. Don't be careless."
Feng Changqing couldn't help but remind him that Anxi was really far away. After leaving Chang'an City, it was still good to go to Liangzhou. But after leaving Yumen Pass, it was the Yellow Sand Desert. Don't look at Cen Shen tall and strong, but the scholars in the pass traveled far away with their swords. To put it bluntly, they were traveling around the Central Plains Heluo area.
This is to travel thousands of miles across the sandy plateau. There is no leisurely wandering, only the north wind is like a knife and the scorching sun. Maybe you will encounter bandits and you will have to fight for your life at any time.
"Don't worry, Chief Feng, I heard from Brother Taibai talk about the pain of crossing the sand sea, so I will not be careless."
Cen Shen said confidently, Feng Changqing couldn't say anything after hearing this. Although Li Taibai is lustful, he is indeed capable. It seems that Li Taibai is the only scholar who can use his sword to go from Saiye Zhenlang to Jiangnan.
"Go, those international students are now in the mansion, and you have a list of them. You can get close to them well. From now on, they will be your own family. When you arrive in Anxi, there are still many things you have to do."
"Don't worry, Cen Shen knows."
