In the former court, Zhang Shaoxuan shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Subsequently, the officers of the Braided Army, the elders of the previous dynasty and the royal family all knelt down and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!"

Twelve-year-old Emperor Puyi wore a crown, a python robe, and a pair of glasses framed on the bridge of his nose, showing a very elegant demeanor, but he couldn't hide his tired demeanor.

He sat on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers kneeling down the stage with a calm demeanor, showing the majesty of the king.

As the mastermind of Emperor Xun's reinstatement, Zhang Shaoxuan is the number one inside and out, and he is very busy.

During the short 12-day restoration, Zhang Shaoxuan did not forget to recommend Li Dejin to Pu Yi as an attendant:

"Holy Lord, the young talent recommended by the minister is actually the reincarnation of Zhongtang, and he is proficient in all kinds of poetry and songs. If you are fortunate enough to accompany the holy reading, the dragon's heart will be happy!"

As he spoke, Zhang Shaoxuan presented Li Dejin's poem to Pu Yi.

Pu Yi opened Li Dejin's poems, read several pages in a row, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Very good! If Lafayette gets Li Zhongtang, he will be able to show the majesty of the Qing Dynasty again! Aiqing will quickly recruit him to see me!"

"Your Majesty," Zhang Shaoxuan said excitedly, "This kid happens to be surnamed Li, and his name is Li Dejin!"

"Li Dejin!" Pu Yi was also very excited, "Hurry up and recruit it!"

"Your Majesty," Zhang Shaoxuan leaned closer to Pu Yi and whispered, "Li Dejin is still in Haixi." When the emperor straightens out the major affairs of the court and sits down steadily, the ministers will go to Haixi to bring him to serve the emperor. ”

......

Before the poor emperor could sit on the dragon chair, he was ousted from power by the warlords and became the second emperor.

In fact, the young Emperor Xun really doesn't care whether he is such a precarious emperor or not, but he has not forgotten Li Dejin, who was recommended by Zhang Shaoxuan.

Pu Yi already has a squire by his side, that is, Richard, who was recommended by Emperor Jack, that is, Li Dexi.

Pu Yi was interested in Chinese culture, especially poetry and calligraphy, and he didn't like the Christian style that Li Dexi talked about every day, but he barely learned a few words of English from him.

Lee De-seok's motivation to learn Christianity and English began as a way to have something to eat, and then to worship Jack's tricks rather than a spontaneous interest.

Jack asked Li Dexi to work hard to instill Christian ideas in Pu Yi, but Li Dexi couldn't do this well, but he didn't dare to go against Jack's wishes, so he was very troubled, entangled, and painful in his heart.

Pu Yi repeatedly asked the Beiyang government to summon Li Dejin as an attendant, but because no one took care of him, he went on a hunger strike in anger.

Due to the warlord scuffle at that time, the Beiyang government was too lazy to go to northern Jiangsu to bring Li Dejin into Beijing, but it was worried that Puyi's hunger strike would cause great trouble, so he asked the foreign emperor to help find a way to solve the urgent need.

After three days of hard thinking, Jack didn't come up with any good ideas.

On Sunday, an American friend who is a professor at Peking University invited Jack to be a guest. Xu Zhimo, a student of this friend, was also present.

During the banquet, Xu Zhimo recited his poems in Chinese and English, and won a round of warm applause.

"Great!" exclaimed Jack. He had an idea, so he decided to ask Xu Zhimo to be a waiter to quench Puyi's thirst for wisdom.

......

On this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful. Pu Yi wore a beige top hat, a long braid behind him, a white suit, a civilized stick in his hand, and his eyes were tired but full of longing.

He wrote and read in the study: "Sharp and tender, learn the sea, and think diligently through poetry and books." Clarify the end of the book, blend the ancient and modern, and the avenue is clear. Don't forget to keep the original intention, experience the spirit of the gods. ”

"Your Majesty, Xu Zhimo is here!" Jack called out at the door.

"Accurate!"

"Greetings to the emperor!" Xu Zhimo bowed.

Seeing the personable Xu Zhimo, Pu Yi seemed to feel that the person standing in front of him was Li Dejin, who he had been thinking about for a long time.

Pu Yi held Xu Zhimo's hand tightly and said excitedly: "I've read all the poems, your words are like bronze money, and you are really a 'green money bachelor'! I just wrote a song, and I haven't thought of a title yet, you can take a look!"

"No, no. Xu Zhimo said, "When I was a child, I learned new poems because I didn't like the battle and ancient rhyme.

These days, I have deliberately studied the "Lessons" and the rhythm of ancient poems in primary school, and I remember some wind vs. rain, present vs. past, contention vs. letting, looking at vs. thinking, and wild kudzu vs. mountain gardenia......"

"Okay, you'll stay by my side from now on, okay?" Pu Yi said spiritually.

Without waiting for Xu Zhimo to answer, Pu Yi squinted his eyes and shook his head and chanted:

"Coarse to fine, east to west, spring to summer, flat to odd, warp and weft to dry branches. He is a respected owner of the people, and a teacher of the emperor of Dezhong. I might as well go far away, and I am too busy to be late.

After the jade building is completed, remember the words of the Xuchang Valley......"

"I'm sorry. Xu Zhimo smiled, "I haven't finished yet." I mean, I just crammed a few words and memorized them alive, and I really didn't have any interest in ancient poetry. ”

"What are you talking about?, and what are you doing here?" Pu Yi wondered.

"I studied economics, and writing new poems is just my preference. I recently wrote a few poems and published them in a collection compiled by my classmates. You can take a look. ”

As he spoke, Xu Zhimo took out a few copies of "New Poetry World" from the folder he was carrying and handed them to Pu Yi, and carefully looked at the once majestic emperor in front of him.

Pu Yi took "New Poetry World", but he was not in a hurry to read it, and looked at Xu Zhimo intently, his eyes seemed to see his bones.

Pu Yi put the "New Poetry Circle" next to the dragon chair with an expressionless face, stood up lazily, opened Li Dejin's poem and recited: "The lake reflects the bamboo embankment, and the youth is happy at four o'clock." The lotus pond gathers the dew, and the orchard is based on the plum branches. ”

Reading and reading, he suddenly had an inspiration, and immediately wrote a poem, "I often feel that the Qing Emperor is coming, but there are no words for grinding." But the moral character is golden, and poetry can be performed day and night. ”

“Sorry , Mr Xu . ” Jack spread his hands to Xu Zhimo embarrassedly and said, "I thought he would like all kinds of poems, but he just likes the old ones . ”

......

On the 14th day of the first lunar month of 1919, there were still two days before the opening of the Eighth Provincial Normal School in Haizhou City.

After the farce of Zhang Shaoxuan's restoration ended, Guan Xiong returned to Haizhou with the remnants of the pigtail army.

He wanted to take the opportunity of delivering New Year's goods to the garrison of Chunan Town, and by the way, he used a military truck to take Li Dejin and Shen Zhaoyin to the Eighth Normal School.

After getting the news, Shen Zhaoyin hung his head and muttered: "If Xiao Dejin knew that I spent my own money to study in Haizhou, and I took the military vehicle because I was stained with his light, then I would have no face at all." ”

"You don't have to think about this," Shen Yunshan said, "The military vehicle is to send the two of you to school." I heard Li Feihu say that Li Dalong asked the girl in the family to be Xiao Dejin's companion, and I want to find one for you!"

My eldest brother said that schools in Haizhou are absolutely not allowed. ”

Shen Zhaoyin said and schemed: "The eldest brother must not let Xiao Dejin's family know this, I just want to see his jokes!"

"Okay. Shen Yunshan said, "I'll go tell Li Dalong about taking a military car now, and I can't bring a maid to accompany me." ”

Shen Zhaoyin hurriedly said: "Dada, let's go! You are about to go to Xiao Dejin to discuss the article!"
