Chapter 21: Delusion
After listening to Qi Xuanhui's profound words of advice, Cui Changjian's heart sank.
Some time ago, didn't he relax his studies, and all his thoughts were on the court?
Compared with the boring eight-strand essay and annoying strategies, the undercurrent is surging and the court is full of dangers, which can make Cui Changjian feel his blood surging and excited.
Later, Qi Xuanhui hinted to him that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he might add Enke, and embark on a formal career for the title of the gold list, Cui Changjian hurriedly rummaged through the books he had put away.
It's just that he didn't expect it, but after slacking off for a few months, he actually couldn't get into the schoolwork.
Later, Qi Xuanhui took the school for him a few times, and he felt that he was afraid that it was a little hanging, so he lowered his identity and invited Zhao Shanchang to teach him.
To put it mildly, in the first three of the strategies arranged by Zhao Shanchang, although Cui Changjian did his best, he was still criticized by Zhao Shanchang for being incomplete.
He doesn't like to scold people, but he loves to hurt people!
The left sentence 'rotten wood cannot be carved', and the right sentence 'stupid as a pig' is a sneering remark, Zhao Shanchang vented his heart.
But Cui Changjian didn't feel that he was messy in the wind, and his heart was dripping blood, and he really felt that he was inferior to others except for being a little smart!
You must know that he is at home, a descendant of the Cui family who is valued by his grandmother and uncle, and in Pengfei Academy, he has always been the pride of the sky and the object of being sought after.
Where is really, there has never been such a direct and huge blow, really. For a moment, Cui Changjian's heart was discouraged.
Fortunately, he has experienced more than his peers, and his mind is a little stronger.
Not counting the writing, he also took it and framed it, hanging it directly above the bookcase, every time he reads a book and writes a strategy. Lift your eyes and you can see.
Immediately energetic. Full of energy, I don't dare to relax anymore.
Not to mention, he is so determined to write something. It's a lot of progress. At least. At the beginning, the stormy sour words became less and less.
Until now, occasionally. I can also hear Zhao Shanchang's praise sentence and half.
The sadness and twists and turns in this are really not enough for outsiders.
This will Qi Xuanhui motivate him in a unique way, but it makes Cui Changjian think again, the heartache at the beginning, really, no matter what, he doesn't dare to relax his schoolwork.
He solemnly bowed his hand and said to Qi Xuanhui: "Please rest assured, your majesty will go to Zhao Shanchang every three days to hand in your homework." ”
"He is an old man with a longitudinal mind, profound knowledge, and careful teaching to his subordinates, never leaving any selfishness."
"You also know that Your Majesty's ambitions are lofty, and he was so busy some time ago that he really slacked off his schoolwork, and he was really relaxed."
"However, his subordinates have already been drunk by Zhao Shanchang's head stick, and he suddenly woke up, and now he has studied hard day and night, and he has finally won the approval of Zhao Shanchang."
"Hearing what the prince said today, I will only be more vigilant, no matter how busy I am with official affairs in the future, I can't put down my studies, live to be old, learn the old words, and keep my subordinates in mind."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.
Qi Xuanhui in front of him, although he was imposing and had a strange idea, but this person's age was a few years younger than him.
Thinking that this person was originally the prince and grandson, and his natural superiority was considered to be a normal category.
But why, whenever he speaks seriously, he always gives people the illusion that 'this is not a person younger than himself, but an elder who is lecturing the junior'
Cui Changjian has this feeling, and it's really not once or twice.
It can be said that every time there is a different experience, and the curiosity is constantly deepening.
It's a pity that the person in front of him is a big ghost, and his mouth is even more terrible, and he wants to talk from his mouth? It's better to stay where you go.
When Qi Xuanhui saw Cui Changjian's words, he was sincere and sincere, not only was he honest, but he was even more confident about his negligence in his studies some time ago, and he should remember this rare lesson.
A person who can recognize his mistakes and correct them wholeheartedly is a strong person in the true sense.
Facing such Cui Changjian, Qi Xuanhui felt very at ease.
As soon as the door of Lao Tzu's tomb was closed, he began to operate secretly, and the new emperor added Enke.
It's just that the partner he chose is neither the most praised and brilliant scholar Li today, nor Mr. Han Ning, who is trusted by the saints today.
But it is a person that no one can think of - Tian Qi, the current head of the Hui Si Palace.
Since the end of the funeral of the first emperor, the previous manager Cai has completely handed over the authority in his hand and left the palace to raise him.
Tian Qi, the eunuch who served Qi Xuanzhen since he was a child, officially took over the seal and became the most powerful eunuch in the entire palace.
Qi Xuanhui had long known his value, so the layout of this chess piece was very early.
As early as two years ago, he had cleverly found Tian Qi's lost sister and the three poor children who had lost their biological father in Anxi.
Of course, he wouldn't say that he was specifically helping to find Tian Qi, but only that his subordinates were resting on the way to prospecting and accidentally ran into it.
When I got up at night, I overheard the landlord's sister-in-law crying to the moon, and then I learned that this grizzled half-old woman had a lost brother named Tian Qi.
This name is very familiar to his subordinates, and it seems that the most important eunuch head next to the prince of Jin is called this name.
The next day, under the clichés of this hand, intentionally or unintentionally, it was still a coincidence, and it couldn't be more coincidental that Tian Qi found four lost relatives.
Easily, Qi Xuanhui sent a great favor to Emperor Wenhua's most trusted confidant.
Now two years have passed since the mother and son were picked up at the beginning.
Tian Qi's younger sister also tied the knot with Qi Xuanhui's subordinate more than a year ago.
In his own husband, under the tactful hint of three times and twice. In her previous life, she killed a stubborn woman who didn't let her son change her surname, and finally passed her youngest son Luo Ergou to her brother and changed her surname to Tian.
In this way, after Tian Qi's death, he can be regarded as a person who throws pots and holds flags, and every year during the Qingming Festival, there are also descendants who send money to pay tribute to him.
Tian Qi, a eunuch who is destined to have no queen in his life. got a nephew with the blood of the Tian family as a son. That's just a joy to behold.
This is the first time that he has lost his composure, and he is very uncalm, so he went to ask Scholar Li to give this new son a name.
Scholar Li is also worthy of being a well-known person. Ask about the cause and effect. With a stroke of the pen. wrote down the three words 'Tian Jien'.
It means that I hope that this son can inherit the family style of the Tian family, and always remember Tian Qi's kindness.
Tian Qi, who has a son. In his heart, he is most grateful to Qi Xuanhui for bringing his family affection, and always wants to take the opportunity to repay him.
But if he can gain Qi Xuanzhen's trust, how can he be a stupid person?
In his heart, he obviously except for Qi Xuanzhen, the second thing he valued was Qi Xuanhui, but he didn't dare to show half of it.
Tian Qi is not so good, he is as obvious as Mr. Han Ning, and if he has anything to do, he is far away, and rarely speaks closely.
He had his own idea in his heart, so he simply took Qi Xuanli as a benchmark, how to align Xuanli on weekdays, then how to align Xuanhui.
Tian Qi's behavior fell into Qi Xuanzhen's eyes, not only could he not find a single mistake, but also had a good reputation for keeping to himself.
And Qi Xuanhui is more stable than Tian Qi, it has always been common sense, and he has never asked for anything.
However, because of the reasons of his subordinates, at four o'clock and eight festivals, he sent a gift to Tian Shimei.
It's really about how normal it is, how normal it is.
Tian Qi had been secretly worried that Qi Xuanhui would propose something that would embarrass him, and maybe he would let himself do something that betrayed his master.
also gradually faded because of the smooth passage of the days, Tian Qi saw that Qi Xuanhui really did it, and he didn't expect to repay his kindness, and felt more and more that Qi Xuanhui was a good person who was rarely seen in the royal family.
However, on the day when the coffin of the first emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Tian Qi received a note standing next to him and handed over by Qi Xuanhui himself.
He was in a cold sweat at that time, so he went out all over his body, and he almost didn't collapse.
It was easy to take advantage of the little effort to go to the toilet, and saw the words written on it clearly, and it was really written in a simple and clear way, just three words: 'Support, Li.' ’
These three headless and brainless words didn't bother Tian Qi a lot, because of the word 'Li', he quickly guessed it, thinking that Bacheng was a scholar of Li University.
So it began, paying special attention to this person.
But day by day, day by day, Tian Qi found that the scholar Li had been precipitating in the memory of the kindness of the first emperor who knew him.
It can be said that he has a sad face all day long, and he has not thought about any twists and turns at all, so how can he support him?
Do you want him to support Scholar Li and remember the first emperor?
Isn't this looking for death?
The general manager of Tianda, that is the person of the new emperor!
How can you do such a thing that makes your master angry?
Soon, though, the mystery was revealed.
It was in the imperial study ten days ago, when Qi Xuanzhen was discussing state affairs with several ministers of the humerus.
At the end of the day, the scholar Li, who had been suffering for a month, had a chic posture, and his subordinates skillfully lifted the corners of their robes, knelt on the ground and pleaded, "In order to show the benevolence and fraternity of our emperor, the ministers invite the saint to add a Keenke, which can not only select talents for the holy Shanghai, but also make all the people praise the wisdom of our emperor." ”
No matter what the thoughts of the monarchs and ministers in the room at that time were, and how they lowered their heads and made eye contact.
Anyway, Tian Qi's mind was shining in an instant! "I've been co-authoring for a long time, and this master wants me to support the addition of Enko."
"This is a great good thing for the saints, and I, as a human slave, should have supported it."
"The good prince really still cares about my emperor and the people of the world, this is simply an imperative thing, and it is not a help at all."
With the support of this person, the matter of Kaienke is basically gone.
This matter is in line with Qi Xuanzhen's intentions, and a few more people support it, but it just makes things faster.
Qi Xuanhui knew that he was a qiē, but he didn't reveal half a point, some things, hiding from people, were actually thinking about that person.
He said to Cui Changjian in a mocking tone: "I hope that the last time the study room was cleared, it would be worth the money." ”
The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and their hearts were full of courage and expectation for what they were about to face
In other words, since Cui Changjian studied with Zhao Ting and Zhao Shanchang, he ushered in a high-intensity study plan.
Zhao Ting first threw him the strategies of the top three people on the gold list in the big test in the past ten years, so that he could read it well and memorize it smoothly, and then every three days, he wrote a strategy of his proposition to see.
This is much more tiring and brain-consuming than doing errands.
Fortunately, he was under the control of Qi Xuanhui, and this prince opened the back door for him as a matter of course, and let Cui Changjian serve at home on the grounds that Mrs. Cui was unwell.
But even if Cui Changjian is at home, he studies hard behind closed doors, never runs around, and even if a friend asks him to go out to get together, he refuses.
Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui are the two few insiders in the house, and when they saw Cui Changjian so serious, they were all happy in their hearts and supported him wholeheartedly.
The old lady originally wanted to give him his daily greetings, but he was afraid of walking around, wasting his precious time and precious time in vain.
The old man has high hopes for his third grandson, and he looks forward to this talented child being able to add glory to the Cui family.
But Cui Changjian thought more thoughtfully than his grandmother, he was afraid that people would see the clues, so as soon as his mind turned, he simply moved his study to the east wing of Songcui Courtyard.
Only said to the outside world that the third prince was copying scriptures for Mrs. Cui with devotion and praying for blessings and safety, but in fact, the person who copied the scriptures was someone else.
This person is not someone else, it is Cui Wanqing, just because among the many sisters, only Cui Wanqing has the ability to imitate other people's handwriting.
This pair of brothers and sisters are now two next door, one racking their brains in the house to write strategies and theories, reciting four books and five classics.
The other is the handwriting of the third brother of the imitator's own family, who worked hard to copy the scriptures, and by the way completed his own husband, and the homework assigned by him was a pair of diligent brothers and sisters.
It is precisely because of this that Cui Changjian wants to pass the word to Cui Wanqing, which is really cheap.
Cui Wanqing's heart knot is now untied, and she misses Qi Xuanhui a lot, the main thing is that this person has lost her father, she always thinks that it would be nice if she could comfort her face-to-face.
Now that the opportunity for the two to meet is coming quietly, how could Cui Wanqing not agree?
Although she was shy when facing Cui Changjian, her face was red, but she still nodded forcefully and thanked Cui Changjian on her knees.
Fortunately, the current Cui Changjian is all focused on strategy, and he has no mind and extra time to ridicule his sister-in-law.
Seeing that the words had been brought, and the parties were happy to agree, they smiled and made an appointment with Cui Wanqing to set off, even if everyone did their own things. (To be continued......)
