Chapter 608: The story of the city, lights and people (middle)

Xiaoyuan City is just a small city. In the entire territory of Yanling, no matter how famous this city is, and its location is not good, there has never been anything in Xiaoyuan City. An unbelievable person, in the hundreds of years of history in Xiaoyuan City, there was only one civil servant who was an official and achieved seven ranks.
The man from Xiaoyuancheng, Chen Tianen, studied literature at the age of six and was able to write poetry at the age of thirteen. He became a well-known child prodigy in Xiaoyuancheng. He began to take the Yanling exam when he was fifteen. , The first game was the first. Although it was the first of all the exams, I had not yet got the chance to go to Yanling to take the final exam, but at the time, in Xiaoyuan City, who didn’t think this Chen Xius Will shine in the subsequent exams?
Moreover, Chen Tianen is so young, the future is boundless.
It was only the exam at the age of fifteen, and in the end Chen Tianen only passed the first one. Although this is amazing, everyone has good expectations for Chen Tianen's future.
Three years later, Chen Tianen referred to it for the second time. After three consecutive games, he finally fell before the final exam in front of Luoyang City. This shocked Chen Tianen deeply. He was very depressed. After several years of silence, he still couldn't make progress. At the age of 30, he took an exam last time, but he still couldn't go to Luoyang City. He no longer had any thoughts of reference, so he became a small official in a county not far from Xiaoyuan City.
After becoming a small official, Chen Tianen didn't really fall silent. On the contrary, for decades to come, he was still climbing up with difficulty. At the age of knowing the destiny, he really became an official.
The eight-grade Yanling Wenchen.
Although he was only a seventh-grade civil servant until he retired a few years ago, no matter how he looked at it, he was already the most famous person in Xiaoyuan City.
Two years ago, when Chen Tianen returned to his hometown, Xiaoyuan City also organized a grand reception.
Now Chen Tianen lives in a house in Xiaoyuan City, which is called Luoyuan.
Chen Tianen is the most respected person in Xiaoyuan City. He knows he likes to be quiet, so around his house, it is very quiet and there are no residents.
The city is very small, but there are fewer people who can't stand it anymore, and it's okay to live elsewhere.
...
...
Chen Tianen has long silver hair, although
He said he was very old, but he couldn't see his oldness. There were few wrinkles on his face and other places. He didn't look like an old man.
Even if his birthday was clearly recorded in the county chronicles in Xiaoyuan City, he knew that he was really old this year.
But he is not like an old man.
This is a very strange thing.
What is even more strange, or what is the pleasant thing, is this old man, who must light up the lights every night, not just in a certain place, but all in the house. He likes to let the house in the dark. It's like just during the day.
This is the so-called bright as day.
Therefore, the lights in Xiaoyuan City are the best in Chen Tianen's family.
"Do you know why the old man doesn't like night?"
Under the eaves of that house, the old man with white hair asked.
Behind him, there was a voice in the shadow that could not be illuminated by the light.
"I don't know very well, I just think you are sick, day will be day, night will be night, this is the law of the world, you can't change it."
Listening to this, Chen Tianen was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Li Changgu has poetry and clouds, and the days are short, doesn't it mean that the day is not enough?"
Mentioned that Mr. Chang Gu who first studied sword and then learned the sword, the one in the shadow was speechless for a while.
After a while, a voice came from the shadows, "He doesn't read books now."
Li Changgu was one of the genius disciples of the Academy at the time. If it weren't for those things, I'm afraid that he is not a teacher but also a figure with great authority in the Academy.
He stopped studying, and he has always been described as a great pity by many people.
Chen Tianen touched his beard, then smiled, saying nothing.
"How do you think you will die?"
This is the one in the shadow asking.
Chen Tianen looked very confused, "You are here, I can still die? Besides, I'm just an old man who doesn't know anything. Who would be so boring to come and kill me?"
The man sneered: "Chen Tianen, the people in Xiaoyuan City don't know who you are, but the emperor in Luoyang City knows that you are restless and you should die."
Chen Tianen is Xiaoyuancheng
It's not fake to be born, but the fact that he is a 7-rank civil servant is not good. This is just a forgery that the people of Xiaoyuan City don't want to know his origins.
Chen Tianen is not a seventh-grade civil servant at all, but one of the six big men in Luoyang City. He was a character who would hear Luoyang City shake when he stomped his feet in Luoyang City. The old man in the township is still a teacher of many court ministers. Although most of those clergymen have been cleared, Chen Tianen's influence on Luoyang City is still there.
And not only that, he Chen Tianen is also a famous literary master in Luoyang City, with countless followers.
To put it bluntly, if he opened his mouth today to support Emperor Yanling, then there would be many scholars in Luoyang City who would change their views.
The Academy has always been a holy place for scholars, but even the gentlemen and masters in the Academy, no one can have the influence of this Chen Tianen.
So when the Emperor Yanling faced him, he was actually trying to win over him, but Chen Tianen was too stubborn and he didn't want to. Emperor Yanling could only let him leave Luoyang City.
Looking at the swaying lights, Chen Tianen sighed: "The old man can't stand the night, how can he stand your changes?"
Hearing this, the one in the shadow said: "So you won't live long, the Emperor Yanling will find someone to kill you, kill you, the Yanling community is excited, but once the pressure is over, everyone can Seeing that determination, everyone knows that this matter cannot be changed, which is also very valuable."
"You are dead, there is a risk, but the Emperor Yanling will try."
"The Academy does not want you to die, so I am here. As long as I am here, you will not die."
After saying this, the man suddenly laughed at himself: "But never asked if I wanted you to die."
Chen Tianen turned his head, looked at the person's eyes through the darkness, and then said seriously: "You want to kill me, do you dare?"
The voice is old, but loud.
The man didn't reply.
It seems very tangled and melancholy.
But soon there was a voice of relief, "You will be killed by others."
There was delight in the voice.
But it stopped abruptly soon.
