Wei didn't say how Liu Shuangli struggled to survive in Long Xingwei.

It is only said that since the trial list of the Imperial Examination Palace, the focus of the work of the Ministry of Rites has shifted to the draft of show girls in the new emperor and new dynasty.

As the person who is really in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Baoding, the right attendant, is full of complaints but has nowhere to talk for a while.

There are rules for the selection procedure in the palace, although this is the primary election of the new emperor, and it is the selection of the folk women and the nobles of the court, but the change in the procedure is not big, but it is more trivial and complicated than in the past, and it is difficult to increase the number of people and manage them in detail.

This draft is a major event for the new emperor, the queen mother has spoken, the household department does not dare to slack off, and the Ministry of Rites has given an approval as soon as it is delivered.

Therefore, the various matters of the draft are really not a problem for Lord Chen, who has long been familiar with it, and what can make him worry for a while and have nowhere to talk can only be another matter.

That is the young son of heaven who has newly ascended to the throne, and he really doesn't take him seriously as an old minister.

After Li Chaochen was publicly recruited into the palace, a few days later, as the actual person in charge of etiquette education in the court, Chen Baoding, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, came to a hard time.

But at this time, the second son, who did not listen to discipline in the family, died mysteriously outside after another night and did not return, and the cause of death was full of suspicions. Before his grief passed, Shuntian Fuhan's reply had not yet come down, and just after his son's first seven days, the summons from the palace was unusually sent to the house.

Surprisingly, it is not from the queen mother who is in charge of the palace, but from the current saint who has been drunk and lying in the pile of beautiful men since the release of the new list.

"I know very well that Lord Chen has just lost his family and son, and I must be full of grief in my heart, and I shouldn't have disturbed Aiqing at this time. I only ascended to the great treasure for the first time, and I was still young, I didn't understand everything, and I didn't know the rules. Now that the scientific examination of the new dynasty has passed, the Ministry of Rites has begun to be busy with my draft again. The Queen Mother also said that after I get married, she will no longer be a member of the council and let me be in power. I only see that the day is approaching, but I don't have a bottom in my heart, I don't know what the queen mother said about the ancestral rules, I am often panicked in my heart, I am really afraid that there is a bad one, which will lead to instability in the court and chaos in the world, then I am really sorry for the trust of the queen mother, and I am sorry for the legacy of the ancestors. Therefore, I was very worried, and after thinking about it, I thought of Master Chen. Master Chen is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, a contemporary Confucian, and has won the praise of scholars all over the world in terms of rules and regulations. When the ranking adults raised their talents to me, they also took Lord Chen as an example. That's why I was ruthless and took away the love of the adults, and at this moment I invited the adults to come to the palace, reluctantly taught me to be difficult, and shared a share of worries for me, Aiqing will not be ruthless for this grievance, right?"

said such a big pass, even the ancestors and ancestors, contemporary Confucians, etc. have moved out, but they are all superficial empty words. Chen Baoding didn't believe that this son of heaven, who had been acting recklessly since the time of the prince, would wake up at this time, and he would suddenly be worried about the stability of the court.

He stood at the bottom of the hall, lowered his head, listened to the affectionate and worried words above, his brows were wrinkled and wrinkled, and his mouth was tight and tight, until the young man stopped sighing, he replied steadily: "It is the honor of the minister to share the worries for His Majesty, how can the minister have grievances." ”

But there are many slanders in his heart, and the saint must be really worried, what is the matter with the many beautiful men who are now neatly lined up on the side, frowning and winning? Could it be that the saint also invited him to teach the law?

"It's good that Aiqing doesn't blame her. Qin Siyang nodded with a smile, first gave Chen Baoding a seat, and then chuckled and looked at the man standing on the side who was closest to him, and said warmly, "Zifan, have you seen Lord Chen?"

It is different from all kinds of beautiful men who came into the hall from Chen Baoding, with different expressions and couldn't smile secretly. This handsome man, no matter how much beauty he stands on his side, does not lose any of his color, but he has always had a stupid look like a wooden chicken under his extremely beautiful facial features. This contrast made Chen Baoding stunned for a moment when he first saw it, thinking about how many unspeakable grievances he had suffered in this Daxiong Treasure Palace!?

Li Chaochen, who had been stunned, was stunned at first glance, his towering shoulders instinctively straightened, and when he looked up, he saw his master sitting on it, with a pair of angry eyes, and ruddy lips hurriedly tearing apart a charming smile.

This is a smile that is eager to resolve the embarrassment, but in the eyes of Chen Baoding on the side, it seems that the aggrieved teenager is blooming beautifully without self-preservation

Chen Baoding was thinking here, and couldn't bear to close his eyes, just missing the beautiful smile, the beautiful phoenix eyes followed by the starlight, when Chen Baoding opened his eyes again, he saw only the young man shrugging his head and stepping forward to bow down: "The minister's fate is shallow, although he entered the Hanlin Academy, he has never had the opportunity to meet Lord Chen." ”

Qin Siyang's eyes flashed, his angry expression was only for a moment, he looked at this disobedient courtier, pursed his lips and said with a gentle smile: "Zifan don't be safe, how can it be shallow to have me in your fate, isn't it, Lord Chen, I will personally introduce you to you, in the future, if there is anything you don't understand in the Hanlin Academy, Zifan should not be polite, that is, you have already met, if you don't understand, just ask Lord Chen for advice." ”

Saying that, Qin Siyang beckoned to Chen Baoding, introduced the two to each other, and then took the trouble to praise Li Chaochen for being really good.

This meaning is very obvious, that is, to use the prestige of Chen Baoding's contemporary Confucianism to add bricks to his favorite minister Li Chaochen!

Chen Baoding nodded again and again, and saw Li Chaochen kneeling on the ground with a happy face, thanking the Son of Heaven above. Before he came back to his senses, he saw Li Chaochen suddenly turn around and bow to him, he was stunned for a while and didn't react for a while, when he finally came back to his senses, stood up and was about to return the salute, Li Chaochen had already finished worshipping, and was raising a handsome face that fascinated all beings, a pair of eyes as clear as the bright morning light, looking at him with deep begging without blinking.

Chen Baoding forgot to return the gift, stood up straight, and accepted Li Chaochen's teacher-student gift.

After the ceremony, Chen Baoding had no way to retreat, thanked the emperor, and was speechless, which was regarded as acquiescing in the teacher-student relationship between him and Li Chaochen.

In this year's imperial examination, because of the queen mother's multi-faceted intervention, Chen Baoding was able to withdraw from the outside, except for some guidance in the necessary joints, he did not participate in anything. The work of marking the papers after the examination was all pushed to the people recommended by the Queen Mother, so he had no impression of Li Chaochen's talent at all, and he knew this person because his reputation was too loud later than Pan An, and everyone in the capital knew about it, so he was forced to hear about it. Later, when he heard that this person was publicly recruited into the palace by the emperor and passed on the emperor's favor of Longyang, he took the initiative to understand it a little, and the words he heard were not as good as guesses.

Therefore, before meeting today, Chen Baoding really didn't have a good impression of this new science and technology jinshi who was rumored to be the first beautiful man in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When I first saw him, I saw that he was ranked first among all beautiful men, and his appearance was the most beautiful, but he had such a demented look, and I thought it was sympathetic. At this moment, after receiving this gift, he only felt that it was he who should sympathize with him.

Sitting back in the seat of the imperial gift, Chen Baoding's stunned expression was like Li Chaochen when he first met.

Qin Siyang, who was sitting on the highest seat, looked at Chen Baoding, who had no love at this time, and secretly laughed.

I have long heard that the right attendant in charge of the Ministry of Rites is a somewhat stubborn and honest official, and a few months ago, when discussing the draft, he deeply understood the rigid nature of this Lord Chen. Although the positive rebuttal of Lord Chen at that time did not make the Queen Mother back down much, and it did not play much practical role, it also made the Queen Mother frustrated for a while and killed them a lot of prestige.

See you today, this Chen Baoding, as the people of Hanfu said, is first-class for Qingming, stubborn, really pedantic, and can be hindered and profitable in major matters, depending on how to use it.

Thinking of this Confucian model of self-reliant Lord Chen, I don't know that in addition to the death of a useless son, his own backyard has long been unstable. Qin Siyang shook his head, half-hanging eyelashes covered his eyes, lowered his posture as much as possible in a gentle tone, and called softly: "Aiqing." ”

Without naming names, anyone could be this Aiqing, Li Chaochen and Chen Baoding raised their eyes and glanced at each other at the same time, and then they chose to be silent at the same time with a very tacit understanding.

Seeing that the two people with dull expressions were silent, and they were silent with their eyebrows lowered in unison, Qin Siyang was speechless, and secretly suppressed the discomfort that surged up in his throat, and changed his title in a smooth tone, and said, "Lord Chen." ”

Chen Baoding was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react from the silence, the emperor called himself, and hurriedly got up and bowed his hand and said, "The old minister is here." ”

The corners of Qin Siyang's mouth flashed with a smile, his fingertips flicked the armrest of the throne, his head slanted sideways, his eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyebrows raised, his demeanor was lightly raised, and his gaze was playful, completely lacking the rigor and solemnity that an emperor of a country should have.

"Lord Chen, don't be surprised," Qin Siyang's mouth turned up, and his tone changed from flat to brisk, "I summoned you to the palace at this time, in addition to wanting to ask Lord Chen for advice on the way to be a king, there is another matter, and that is them." ”

As he spoke, Qin Siyang pointed to the young men who were standing in a row below, dressed in bright and bright clothes, and with the same light expression.

"I asked Zifan to find it from outside the palace, because most of the places they came from were small businesses, so they were a little bad in terms of vision. But the people who want to follow me in this deep palace can't have a little bit of grace. I have had people educate them in many ways before, but Lord Chen doesn't know that the nurturing grandmothers in this palace can only teach the palace maids and eunuchs the etiquette of walking and talking, and most of them are not knowledgeable in terms of knowledge. But how can the person I want be a person who can only walk and talk on the surface? I don't see many people like this in this palace, and I'm tired of seeing them. That's why I couldn't do it, so I thought of Lord Chen, who is a contemporary Confucian, and he has nothing to say in terms of learning. Teaching these ignorant children is easy to catch and effortless. Therefore, I have a reluctant request, and I also ask Lord Chen to give them some guidance, so that they can all be reborn. ”
