Because Cui Xian was going on a long journey the next day.
So the brothers did not drink too much, and when they had enough to drink, they dispersed.
After leaving the table.
Cui Yu returned home, while Cui Xian went to his teacher's home in Zhongjing Lane.
The servant Lao Luo opened the courtyard gate and looked a little worried: "Young Master is here, the master is waiting for you in the inner room."
What happened?
Cui Xian was very confused. When he entered the inner room, he heard Mr. Dong Lai say, "Here you are? I'm afraid we have to change our previous plan."
Ah this.
Why are everyone suddenly changing their plans?
Without waiting for Cui Xian to ask.
Mr. Donglai continued, "The drought in Shaanxi is getting worse. The court sent two groups of imperial envoys there, but they were both helpless."
"Someone in the court wrote a letter suggesting that Li Duanping be transferred to Shaanxi to provide disaster relief. His Majesty agreed, but the new governor of Henan has not yet been decided. Your master wrote a letter asking us to prepare for the worst."
The worst-case scenario...the new Henan governor might be someone who belongs to Prime Minister Chen Bing.
Chen Bing just resigned from his post, he didn't die.
Being the Prime Minister of the Daliang Dynasty was definitely the most ridiculous job. He was dismissed today and reinstated tomorrow, just like a joke.
So the party struggle between him and Zheng Xiasheng continues.
And it was obvious that Chen Bing had started to take action.
But the affairs of the court are still too far away and not something Cui Xian can participate in now.
So he nodded and asked hesitantly: "Then, the students will not go to Kaifeng for the time being?"
"Go! But change the plan. Li Duan was summoned to the capital immediately, and the situation in Kaifeng is still unclear. I will go to Kaifeng to find out the truth first, and by the way, build a debate platform for you, and spread the news that you have accepted the five-year debate in advance."
Mr. Dong Lai said with a smile: "And you will also set out for Kaifeng. But you will take a detour to Luoyang, and then rush to Kaifeng from Luoyang."
Cui Xian was surprised and asked, "Going to Luoyang?"
Mr. Dong Lai nodded and said, "It will soon be the annual peony blooming season. The Luoyang prefecture has invited young scholars from all over the world to go to Luoyang to participate in the flower appreciation meeting."
"Master, I guess that half of the young talents in Daliang will attend this literary gathering."
Cui Xian was very smart. He understood after a little thought and asked subtly, "Because of me?"
Although it is widely rumored that Daliang's first child prodigy has "run out of talent".
However, the disciple of Mr. Dong Lai, the leader of the literary world, has already issued a declaration of war to the "Kaifeng Debate", so how could he not go to the invitation?
It’s just that now, Cui Xian hasn’t made any move.
Geniuses are also proud and reserved. They would not rush to Kaifeng to debate with a former child prodigy whose light has faded.
So at this time, going to Luoyang to attend a literary gathering is a good choice.
The two places are very close to each other. If Cui Xian can make a comeback and make a name for himself, there will definitely be a genius to challenge him.
But without fame, the geniuses would go home.
By that time when Cui Xian opens the debate in Kaifeng, those who come to debate will be a bunch of small fry, which will be a laughing stock.
To put it bluntly, Cui Xian is worthless five years later.
"Yes, so your master asked you to take a detour to Luoyang. Here is an invitation to the Luoyang Literary Conference. You can go and attend as Jia Shao from Luoshan County, Xinyang Prefecture."
Mr. Dong Lai handed over an invitation.
He laughed and said, "These worthless things are still making trouble. But even if you are extremely talented, you can't stand up to the many evil people in Daliang. Go to Luoyang Literary Association to observe secretly and get a good idea. Then you won't be caught off guard on the debate stage."
"After all, we are too valuable to lose a single game."
Good job.
It turns out that even if you are going to have a debate, you still have to prepare for the off-stage work.
But it's normal, Cui Xian alone is responsible for the entire Daliang literary world.
If you don't know yourself and your opponent, and just start arguing blindly, you may end up in trouble one day.
After all, if this thing fails once, the path to becoming a literary leader will be interrupted.
Cui Xian took the invitation and asked tentatively: "Then, the students will set off?"
Mr. Dong Lai waved his hand and said with a smile, "Go ahead. You are 14 years old now. It is time for you to go out and experience the world. According to what is written on the invitation, you can go to the official post station in Lushan County and someone will pick you up there."
So, Cui Xian bowed to his teacher and turned to leave.
The servant Lao Luo said worriedly: "Master, the young master is still young and has never been out of Nanyang. The situation in the court is chaotic now, and Lord Li has been transferred away. The young master may also be targeted."
Mr. Dong Lai smiled and said, "When the child grows up, he will always go out to explore the world. I changed his identity for him, which can be regarded as a kind of protection. The path he will take in the future is destined to be extraordinary."
"I have a feeling that little Cui Xian will go further than the teacher in the future!"
"As his teacher, what I have to do is not to keep him by my side, but to send him flying and watch him soar into the sky."
Hearing this, hope appeared in the servant Lao Luo's eyes.
Mr. Dong Lai stood in the corridor, watching his most outstanding apprentice disappear out of the alley, his expression showing both reluctance and pride.
The other side.
When Cui Xian returned home, Chen and Cui Zhongyuan had already helped him pack his luggage.
Just like the first time he left home from Hexi Village.
But this time, neither Chen nor Cui Zhongyuan cried.
The one who kept crying was the little girl Cui Ying.
What's funny is.
She cried and comforted herself: "It's okay, it's okay, my brother is going to teach those bad guys a lesson! But I still can't bear to let him go, wuwuwu."
