Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 744 Three Immortals

At the end of February, Yang Yuan, the governor of Tongchuan, visited Pengzhou again.

This time, he first went to Jianzhou, inspecting local prefectures and counties along the way and checking the progress of the highway repairs.

Finally he arrived in Jianzhou and took a look at the renovation of his government office.

The office of the Governor-General of Jianzhou has been almost completely renovated and will be open to occupancy soon.

Yang Yuan made the decision on the spot that his next stop would be Pengzhou, and he would move directly into the Jianzhou government office.

Yang Yuan had already asked the court for permission to resign from his nominal post as prefect of Tongchuan.

The prefect of Tongchuan is now taken over by his former deputy, the de facto top leader of Tongchuan Prefecture, Xu Ziwei, the Tongpan of Tongchuan Prefecture.

During the less than two years that Yang Yuan was in Tongchuan Prefecture, he had always had a good cooperation with Pan Chen.

Although Yang Yuan did not actually preside over the affairs of the prefectural yamen, Chen Tongpan had to report to Yang Yuan in person at least once every seven days.

He would list all the major and minor events that had occurred in the government office recently, how they were handled and what the results were, and report to Yang Yuan.

This was an official with great sense of propriety, so Yang Yuan naturally did not hesitate to cultivate him.

Yang Yuan decided to move to Jianzhou first, and many personnel and archival materials of the Jinglüe Anfushi Yamen that were still in Pengzhou would be moved there one after another.

When Wanyan Liang of the Jin Dynasty moved the capital from Shangjing to Yanjing, he was the first to lead his close ministers to move there, and the relocation of the entire court took two years.

So, it's not a big problem.

From Jianzhou to Pengzhou, there is only Langzhou in between, so the distance is not too far.

Yang Yuan's public reason for coming to Pengzhou was to attend the opening ceremony of the Pengzhou Academy and to welcome Mr. Mu Yi, the great master of the new Shu school, to give lectures here.

Building a large academy in the central Sichuan region to promote education was a major event promoted by Yang Yuan.

Mr. Mu Yi is now a world-famous grandmaster.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for Yang Yuan to come in person to greet and participate in the event.

Of course, he also had a series of secret purposes for coming here.

In addition, Li Shishi had also written him a letter before, telling him to be in Pengzhou by the time she arrived.

Li Shishi handed her son Yang Sheng over to Fei Yuye to take care of, and walked slowly with the large group of people led by her mistress Luxi.

She travelled quickly to Pengzhou and was almost there now.

Li Shishi required that Yang Yuan must be present, but also must be absent, when she was giving lectures in Pengzhou.

The reason for requiring him to be there is: she wants Yang Yuan to be there every time Mu Yi makes a public appearance to give lectures.

In this way, when the "true face" of Grand Master Mu Yi is revealed in the future and this vest is put on Yang Yuan's head, it will be impeccable and flawless.

Yang Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, so it makes sense that he was a master in academic achievements.

For this reason, when Yang Yuan left Lin'an and she was unable to accompany him, Mr. Mu Yi also stopped participating in public activities.

Li Shishi told her student Lu Jiuyuan that she was going to travel around the world, and with Yang Yuan's departure, she also disappeared from Lin'an.

Until the news came out that Mr. Mu Yi was coming to Pengzhou Academy to give lectures, no one knew where he had gone.

Shishi asked her that when she appeared as Mu Yi, she must never be in the same place with Yang Yuan, specifically when Shishi was giving lectures.

As long as Shishi wears wide robes with big sleeves, raises the soles of her shoes, and wears a veil, there will be no problem for her to appear in the same frame with Yang Yuan.

Even if she spoke in that neutral voice, there would be no problem, and all of this could be easily explained.

The only thing was that Yang Yuan must not be present when she was giving lectures.

Otherwise, when Mr. Mu Yi was debating with other great scholars, Yang Yuan was sitting next to them, and it would be difficult for him to take over the identity of "Mr. Mu Yi" in the future.

Since Yang Yuan came to Tongchuan, he has been busy with all kinds of affairs and has not seen his beautiful wife and concubines for nearly two years.

Do you want to? Of course I do.

Therefore, when he led the gentry of Pengzhou, great scholars from all sides, and students from the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy such as Lu Jiuyuan to follow Master Mu Yi and waited at the Shili Pavilion in the east of Pengzhou City, Yang Yuan was also very excited.

A light carriage and eight guards came in a dashing manner.

When the man in wide robe with big sleeves and a veil on his head slowly walked out of the carriage, the officials and celebrities of Pengzhou, as well as the great scholars and celebrities from all over the country, all came forward excitedly to greet him.

Lu Jiuyuan and other fanatical followers knelt on the ground excitedly, welcoming their mentor whom they had not seen for nearly two years with tears in their eyes.

Only Yang Yuan had a completely different feeling when he looked at that figure.

Even though the wide robe and sleeves completely obscured Shishi's graceful body, it did not affect Yang Yuan's imagination.

In his mind, the charming and beautiful body of Li Shishi had already appeared, and his stomach suddenly felt hot.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. This is a long separation for him.

Therefore, his gaze was so scorching that it seemed to melt the person in front of him.

All the people who came here to greet him were there because of Mr. Mu Yi’s academic attainments, the depth of his thoughts, and his unparalleled reputation in the scholarly community.

Only our founding duke, right counselor, Tongchuan governor and pacification envoy, and Lizhong imperial army commander, Yang Yuan, is interested in Master Mu's body.

Pooh!
An uneducated and lowly bastard!

……

As soon as Mr. Mu Yi arrived, he was personally welcomed into the Pengzhou Academy by Yang Yuan.

Naturally, there are many bedrooms in the academy.

The red silk-covered plaque sent by the emperor two days ago was slowly hung on the high lintel of the main hall of the academy in the presence of Yang Yuan, Mr. Mu Yi, and many local and foreign celebrities.

The red silk was dragging, and Mr. Yang Yuan and Mr. Mu Yi, one on the left and one on the right, pulled down two pieces of red silk with force. They were like two red dragons dancing in the air and slowly fell down.

A plaque with black background and gold characters suddenly appeared.

The people watching the ceremony immediately burst into exclamations of admiration.

Yang Yuan and Mr. Mu Yi also didn't know what the emperor had written.

The two of them took a few steps forward, turned around, and looked up at the door lintel.

A huge plaque with golden characters on a black background reads "Three Immortalities".

Under the veil, Li Shishi couldn't help but have a bright look in her eyes.

Three immortals?
The government also highly respects me, Mu Yi, who has never revealed my true face!
The three immortalities are to establish virtue, to establish merit, and to establish words.

Although it lasts for a long time, it is known as the "three immortalities".

"Establishing virtue means creating laws and regulations, and providing generous benefits to the people";
"To establish merit means to save people from disasters and difficulties, and to benefit the times";
“To establish a statement means to get to the point and the logic is worth conveying.”

On that day, "Mu Yi" took the seat and began to preach.

According to the prior notice, Mr. Mu Yi would give lectures at Pengzhou Academy for three days.

The recruited professors have been ready, and three days of lectures have concluded. Scholars who are interested in studying can sign up to study at the Pengzhou Academy.

At that moment, Yang Yuan's face suddenly turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It was because I had been running around recently and caught a cold.

Yang Fushuai could only be sent back to Wu Mansion with a weak face to rest and take medicine, and was unable to listen to the lectures of Grand Master Mu Yi in person.

Yang Fushuai was born as a top scholar and was very talented and learned. I think that after listening to Grand Master Mu Yi's explanation of the scriptures, it must have been a great opportunity for him to make profound achievements in his studies.

result……

Many famous scholars and students from all over the country felt deeply sorry for General Yang.

……

Yang Yuan had just returned to the Wu Mansion's guesthouse when Mei Zhen came running over, looking worried.

The delicate and pretty little face was full of worry.

In this day and age, colds can be fatal if you're not careful.

At the beginning, Mei Zhen really wanted to marry Yang Yuan. The main reason was that he was young, handsome and held a high position, which satisfied a girl's greatest pursuit and dream.

However, after following Yang Yuan all the way to Tongchuan Prefecture and the interactions after arriving in Tongchuan Prefecture, Mei Zhen's affection for Yang Yuan was truly placed on him.

When she heard that Yang Yuan was sick, she was really scared and worried.

When she hurried to the guest house, tears were still welling up in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

As a result, as soon as she entered the courtyard guarded by guards, she saw the man she was worried about dancing with a sword under a magnolia tree in full bloom.

"Fushuai, are you...are you okay?"

Mei Zhen asked with a little tear in her voice.

When Yang Yuan saw her slightly red eyes, his heart softened.

He brought Meizhen into the study and coaxed her, "Of course I'm fine, I just can't stand the socializing in the academy. But you mustn't tell anyone, it will be bad for my reputation if it gets out."

Mei Zhen said coquettishly, "I thought you were really sick and was so anxious, but... you are such a bad person."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Do you hope that I will really get sick?"

"Of course not."

Mei Zhen suddenly covered Yang Yuan's mouth. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were still misty, but the corners of her eyes were a little red, making her look a little coquettish.

Who can stand this little look?

Suddenly, Mei Zhen felt a damp and hot sensation in her palm, which was as red and tender as an apricot.

That was Yang Yuan sticking out his tongue and licking it.

"ah!"

Mei Zhen had never been teased like this before. Her pretty face suddenly turned red. She retracted her hand as if she was stung and wanted to run away immediately.

As a result, as soon as she turned around, her slender waist was hugged.

Then Mei Zhen, who was as light as a cat, sat on Yang Yuan's lap.

"Why, are you worried about me?"

Meizhen was hugged like this, her face turned red and she was very shy. She just nodded slightly and said softly: "Fushuai is the husband that my father has designated for Meier. Meier... naturally cares about him."

Yang Yuan pretended to sigh and said, "So it was just your father's arrangement. You were just doing your duty as a woman and you didn't really care about me. Never mind. If that's the case, how can I bear to embarrass you? I'll go and tell your father right now and let this matter go..."

"No, who said that?"

In desperation, Mei Zhen covered Yang Yuan's mouth with her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I... I naturally like Fushuai. If not, how could Meizhen agree when father told Mei'er about it?"

Meizhen couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she told the truth.

But she was worried that Yang Yuan would misunderstand and ignore her from then on, which would be an unbearable burden for her, so she said it shyly.

Yang Yuan saw this and felt pity for her. He kissed her lightly on the cheek and said softly, "Don't worry. Your Fu Shuai is very strong and vigorous. He won't get sick easily. We will grow old together and live a long life!"
