Ouchi, vertical arch hall.

Xu Jing was at the top, with a yellow robe, and he listened to the ministers play majestically while watching the excerpts. There are different situations where there are disasters, how they need to be relieved, whether there are loopholes in the system, whether they can be slightly modified, and so on. The ministers were afraid of the cold of the early court, or the emperor would see that they had nothing to do and were empty of official salaries, so they would find something to talk about.

Xu Jing has never been sloppy in the affairs of the country, but he has turned a blind eye to the careful thinking of these ministers. There is no matter of principle, and everything else can be ignored. It is enough to be able to do what is within one's scope.

It's just that these few days are not enough rest, and no matter how serious you are, you can't stop the fatigue exposed by the dark circles under your eyes. When discussing state affairs, Feng Zuo glanced at the ministers. People are not blind, so they don't mention anything that doesn't matter, so Xu Jing went down early.

Returning to the Wende Hall from the Vertical Arch Palace, taking off the dragon cannon crown, Xu Jing moved his muscles and bones, and went to the side of the case to turn over two folds, but he couldn't stand it, so he had to fall asleep on the couch.

I slept until noon, ate lunch, and felt that my spirit was back to seven or eight. So I still went to the front of the case and read what I hadn't finished reading. After seeing it, he thought about it and wanted to find someone to say, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't ask Feng Zuo to find someone, but got up directly and said, "Drive the Hanlin Academy." ”

Hanlin Temple, the sun is warm in the afternoon.

Bachelors and newcomers in the college were in groups of three or five, dragging stools and chairs to bask in the sun in the hospital. He was still holding a book in his hand, but he was squinting his eyes and gossiping everywhere, so comfortable.

The Hanlin Academy was originally a concentration of talents in the DPRK and China, but it has always been a talent reserve institution and has never been valued by the emperor. For many years, the emperor did not come to the Hanlin Academy. There are no big and small things in the court, and there is no time when the scholars of the Hanlin Academy can interfere. Most of what the scholars of the Hanlin Academy did was to secretly write books, compile classics, and write edicts, and then solve some academic puzzles at the request of the emperor and the prince.

For the emperor's visit, this is the first time in so many years. Hearing the sudden transmission, the master of the academy was stunned. It was the other bachelors on the side who smashed him before he woke up. No matter how much you wake up, there is no time to clean up in this courtyard, so you can only hurriedly go out to meet you.

Everyone is nervous, and it is not one person who mutters in their hearts. The scattered stools and chairs that the hall didn't have to collect before the hall were really embarrassing, but they could only hold on.

Xu Jing entered Hanlin and was bowed by all the scholars in the hospital. swept his eyes, the "breath of life" in this courtyard was quite strong, and everyone was also full of panic, only pressing.

He didn't care, so he flattened down and went straight to the courtyard. There was no one behind him, only Feng Zuo, who smiled and patted his ass with a frown, saying this and that. The others followed, all holding their breath.

Qing Tong cooperated with the scene in the crowd, clasped his hands in front of him, bowed his head slightly, and said nothing. Only the master of the academy couldn't escape, and went up and said: "I don't know that the emperor is suddenly coming, and Weichen and others are far away." ”

Xu Jing didn't say this, so he only found a chair in front of the hall, sat up straight, and then said, "The sun is just right, you can sit too." Don't be too restricted, I listen to you talk about poetry and history. There are also some trivial matters in the DPRK, and I would like to tell you Aiqing about them to see what you think. ”

When the master heard this, he was so excited that he almost fell over. The emperor did not consult with the important ministers of the court about something, but came to the Hanlin Academy, what a glory it is! Is there such a way of being close to and paying attention to it, and there is still an underdeveloped Hanlin Academy? Even if there is no change in the official rank, whether the dignitary is noble or not, everyone can see it.

The master thought a lot for a while, secretly rejoiced, and took everyone to sit down according to the high and low seats.

After sitting down, Xu Jing first threw out some words, and then let them speak on their own. In the end, I didn't go to the Hanlin Academy like this, I don't know the situation, so I can only make a test first. After some talking, everyone relaxed a little, and the words became more and more bold. There is also Qingtong, a person who is not afraid of Xu Jing's imperial power, and he speaks more reasonably, so there are more bold words.

Xu Jing sat idly and listened, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes locked on her. Feng Zuoduo interjected a few times, but he didn't break the topic back to the usual track, there were a few insightful and arrogant people,-for-tat, just rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.

In the end, the face is red, but the gentleman's style that should be maintained still exists. Xu Jing secretly sighed, arguing with a woman, it's really difficult to be an opponent. If the logical thinking is extremely clear, and the mind is extremely detailed, it will be even more difficult to fight.

Xu Jing watched it happily, smiled and looked at it, and finally rewarded him. Originally, the master of the academy hung up a heart, and he could be put down.

Qingtong found a cup of tea to drink, and was very satisfied with the reward.

Xu Jing took Feng Zuo out of the Hanlin Courtyard, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Feng Zuo couldn't see Xu Jingxiao very much, and all kinds of signs could be guessed a little to know that the green pupil was not an ordinary person, and he understood it earlier. But what the specific relationship is, he can't ask. At this time, he followed Xu Jing's side, and said with a smile: "That Qing adult, his thoughts are so treacherous, and the old slaves are stunned when they hear it." There are some words that I still can't recall. ”

"It's a good thing I didn't say anything rebellious." Xu Jing responded.

Feng Zuo still smiled: "Old slave look, Lord Qing has his own sense of proportion, and he is a talent. ”

Xu Jing glanced at him: "You know again?" ”

Feng Zuo shrunk and bowed his waist again, and stopped talking with a smile on his face.

The two walked for a while, Xu Jing didn't talk about the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, and suddenly asked again: "How is it in the harem recently?" ”

There are only two mothers in Xu Jing's harem, one Queen Sun and one Concubine Kong. The two have always been at peace with each other, and the harem is peaceful. Queen Sun is indeed a proper character, and she accepted her fate, so she had to be the mother of her own country. But Concubine Kong was not so worry-free, and the people who wanted to get Xu Jing were all fruitless. Xu Jing doesn't care much about the affairs of the harem, except for occasionally taking time to see the eldest prince, he doesn't often go to the harem.

Concubine Kong knew about the bloodline of the eldest prince, so she naturally didn't dare to mention the matter of Lichu. I have always wanted to give Xu Jing another son, so that I can compete for the throne. But after so many years of unsuccessful calculations, my mind has already weakened a lot. The court has always rumored that Xu Jing is only close to men, and she doesn't know whether it's true or not, and thinks in her heart that if the emperor only has a son from the eldest prince, even if there is a problem with the bloodline, the throne will not fall to others. It's more down-to-earth to comfort yourself like this.

Feng Zuo knew that Xu Jing didn't care about the affairs of the harem, and he often didn't talk much. Two sentences back and forth, the two mothers are virtuous, okay. As for whether it is really good or not, Feng Zuo also knows that Kong Guifei is not a fuel-efficient lamp. But Concubine Kong Guifei didn't have her mother's family to rely on, only a weak woman lived in the harem, although she secretly wooed the palace family, she couldn't make any waves if she thought about it, so he didn't say it in front of Xu Jing, so as not to provoke him to think more.

Xu Jing listened to the words, and Guo didn't ask anymore. Then he asked about the situation of the eldest prince and understood Xu Xu, so he went all the way back to Wende Palace. At this moment, he couldn't spare any extra thoughts and put it in the harem.

Speaking of the throne, although it will take decades for Xu to think about the succession, Xu Jing has not thought about this problem. Some things have been decided to be done, and the rest must be borne without hesitation.

The history is vast for thousands of years, and the absurd things are not his family.

+++

In the next few days, Xu Jing and Qingtong saw each other during the day.

The Hanlin Courtyard was visited by the emperor in person for a few days, from strange to familiar, from idle to full of spirit, from arguing and debating history to reciting poetry and lyrics, the emperor participated in it. Everyone in the court was shocked, the originally inconspicuous Hanlin Academy, but in just a few days, it became a fragrant dumpling. When the bachelor walked out, he was able to stand up with his head held high.

Qingtong was naturally happy, and said secretly: Previously, the Hanlin Academy was a secretarial organization that only did chores and did not see the main master, but now not only the words and the like, but also the government can also participate in the discussion, and it seems that it has become a senior secretary in the real sense.

Because no one in the Hanlin Academy is involved in the interests of the party, the official attributes are destined to not serve the imperial court, so it does not involve the interests of everyone, and everything is much more objective. Unlike other courtiers, once an incident comes out, no matter what method or what, you must first consider yourself, avoid your own risks, and strive for appropriate benefits for yourself, and the rest is the solution to the matter. And the people of the Hanlin Academy are much more direct, only from the perspective of events, and seek for the people.

In this way, Xu Jing liked it deeply, and originally thought that he was just coming to Hanlin Academy to find fun and meet the people he wanted to meet, but now he really felt the value. Therefore, I am very sure in my heart, and I want to value the bachelor of Hanlin. When Xu Jing went back, he sent the people from the Ministry of Engineering to reorganize the Hanlin Academy. As soon as the news came out, the matter of the Hanlin Bachelor's dignitary could no longer be reversed.

Everyone in Hanlin Temple had light on their faces and rejoiced. Only Zhao Yan sighed, looked for Qingtong to eat at noon, shook his head and said, "Tell me, what is this called?" I didn't get this benefit alone! ”

Qingtong smiled: "Who got the benefits you got before?" ”

"I want to know, and I don't want this good. Besides, is it what I wanted? Zhao Yan looked at Qingtong.

Qingtong was proud, and said, "Compare who climbs higher and walks farther." ”

Zhao Yan heard that it was his original words, and pinched a peanut and smashed it on Qingtong's head.

Qingtong smiled even more happily, touched his head and said, "Mo Qi, I invite you this time." ”

"You have to please!"

After lunch, the two went back to their respective places.

Everyone in the Hanlin Academy was full of red light, everyone gathered in one place, and they were all very excited to read books and poems. Originally, everyone was waiting to see the emperor, but now they can see it every day, and everyone has a light on their faces together, and they have to be reused, so they are naturally united. The literati's arrogance has also risen a lot, and they have studied it even more.

Qingtong stayed silently aside, took a book and put it on his face, and lay on the porch railing to bask in the sun.

After a lunch break, each man did his own thing. Xu Jing also came to Hanlin Academy in the afternoon, rain or shine, for nearly 20 days. At this point, everyone is accustomed to it and can cope with it easily.

There was an accident on this day, and Qing Tong listened to the transmission with his ears open while flipping through the book, and he didn't wait. It wasn't until the evening, when General Ren dispersed, that he saw Feng Zuo bring a group of little eunuchs, who came over in a hurry, holding a lot of birdcage flower pots in his hands.

The master of the academy greeted him, and Feng Zuo said: "The emperor said that the Hanlin Academy had to be a little angry, so he asked our family to get these." You keep it, and the emperor can also play with it. ”

The master of the academy was busy thanking, and saw that the eunuchs had gone to hang up the birdcages and arrange the flowers and plants. It's late autumn, and the flowers are just a few pots of chrysanthemums, and the rest are mostly emerald plants.

After it was properly placed, Feng Zuocai said again: "The emperor invites Lord Qing to go to the imperial study, and there are some things to ask Lord Qing." Those who are on duty tonight can be spared, go home and rest, and come to their posts tomorrow as usual. ”

Qingtong came up to salute, and many people looked at her, but she didn't care. Qing still has a favored minister like He Shen, where is she going like this. So he hurriedly went back to pack some things and followed Feng Zuo.

On the way, Feng Zuo talked about her, she didn't know what Feng Zuo knew, but she still pretended to be very normal. But I understood it tightly in my heart, Xu Jing must have calculated her day, and she didn't come to Hanlin Academy today.

Knowing that her body is convenient at this moment, can she endure it any longer?

Qing Tong suddenly felt like she was going to become a fish on the knife board, and her heart was hairy......

It's weird......
