Chapter 11: Encounters

It is said that Wucai people have a strong heart, and after being frustrated, they quickly adjusted their mentality and redeployed their next move.

In addition to completing their own work every day, they collect all kinds of current political information, and then go to the library of the Inner Literature Library to flip through the book scrolls to strengthen their learning.

The collection of current political information is mainly through the acquaintance of the envoys, female histories, etc., and he also pays attention to all kinds of information when serving the concubines and concubines, especially the news of the princes.

When a piece of current political information was collected, such as: Xue Yantuo sent an envoy to propose marriage, the martial artists looked up Xue Yantuo's relevant information, learned about the historical materials of Heqin, and analyzed the country's war and strategy.

Another piece of information was collected: the Marquis of Chen Guo gathered to pacify Gaochang and set up the Xizhou and Anxi Protectorates. The Wucai people searched for the geographical location of Gaochang and analyzed the establishment and functions of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

After a few months, the Wucai people discovered a surprising piece of information, that is, the open and secret struggle between the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei, Li Tai, for the crown prince, which was actually an open secret, but no one dared to pierce this layer of window paper.

After observation and analysis, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, the two princes, are not docile and tender men, but have a perverse temperament, not only can not be husbands, but also cannot even be friends. Another prince, Li Zhi, is still young and ignorant, but he often lives in the emperor's bedroom and is regarded as the pearl of the palm by the emperor!

The other princes all live in their respective fiefdoms, rarely return to Chang'an, not only can't be friends, but also have very few opportunities to meet, even if they meet from afar, what kind of sparks can be created? Besides, the chances of the prince inheriting the treasure are almost equal to zero.

After thinking about it, the martial artist couldn't see where the future path was, he was already on the verge of a desperate situation, and he had fallen into a dead end, so he couldn't help but sigh and doubt his motives for entering the palace in the first place! Could it be that Yuan Tiangang, a master of divine physiognomy who never makes mistakes, would be wrong once? Have your long-term efforts been in vain?

Putting on the Huahai Zhai clothes and wearing the Huadian Five Trees, the martial artists carefully looked at themselves in the bronze mirror, and sighed again, hey! What a beautiful person, is it going to wither like a flower? The concubine's true destiny, the concubine's prince of the white horse, where are you? Where are you? The martial artists are a little tired, tired, and haggard!

On Chinese New Year's Eve, after participating in the ceremonies and entertainment in the palace, the martial artist had a dream in which a macaw flew west to the Western Elysium.

Amitabha Buddha told it, "You must persevere, persevere, and the true Son of Heaven will appear soon, and you must not fall before dawn!" That is the noble man of your life, he will open the gate of the Dragon Palace that imprisons you, and let you release a thousand rays of light to shine on the earth! ”

Standing on the top of the Taiji Palace, the martial artists opened their sleeves, and two golden rays of light cut through the dark night, illuminating the entire Chang'an City, illuminating the eight surrounding rivers, and the ordinary people cheered and jumped......

Suddenly, the martial artists woke up, everything was the same in Youlan Pavilion, it turned out to be just a dream! But the dream is also very good, it gives her strength, there is hope if there is a dream, and there will be no despair if there is a dream.

In the spring of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin led his ministers to Luoyang to inspect Xingxing, preparing to seal Mount Tai in February of the following year. This time, Wucai did not accompany him, and those who remained in Chang'an were Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and the young princess of Jinyang.

After finishing work every day, Wu Cairen still went to the library of the Inner Literature Library to flip through the book scrolls, and sometimes copied the calligraphy posts of Wang Xizhi and Yu Shinan.

In the blink of an eye, in the summer, the martial artists changed into a set of light silk skirts and went to the library to find out the etiquette system of Taishan Feng Zen, which is contained in Sima Qian's "Historical Records and Feng Zen Book", Ban Gu's "White Tiger Tongyi" and Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".

Wu Cairen walked to the cabinet to rummage through the scrolls, and suddenly saw a son on the opposite side who was also looking for books, startled, the scrolls in his hands fell on the wooden floor, the boy turned around and helped pick up the scroll, gently stuffed it into the hands of Wu Cairen, and asked with a smile: "Lady, what's wrong?" Oh, it turned out to be a martial artist! ”

Wu Cairen looked at the son in front of him fixedly, and saw that he was wrapped in a head on his head, wearing a silk yarn single coat and a white gauze light face hakama, a gold leather belt with a gold hook around his waist, wearing a jade and a golden silk sac, his appearance was thin and handsome, his demeanor was graceful, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like meteors, his voice was low and deep, and he was obviously in the period of puberty.

Wucai suddenly felt an irresistible gravitational pull, his heart shook, and he secretly thought: Could he be the prince of the white horse given by God to his concubine? So he also smiled and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Jiulang!" I haven't seen you for a year, and I've grown as tall as a concubine! In the past, there was no one else in the library except for the palace doctor and the inner envoy of the gatekeeper, and a Lang Jun suddenly appeared, so the concubine was startled, hehe. "King Li Zhi of Jin ranks ninth, so he is called Jiulang.

The loud and pleasant voice came to the ears of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, that was called a comfortable, Li Zhi was in good spirits, and he also glanced up and down at the martial arts people, and saw that she had a snail bun on her head, and a gold-dotted emerald jeweled hairpin was inserted behind the bun, and she was wearing a collared smoky purple silk moire shirt, a jacket with short sleeves embroidered with gold, a silk silk silk cloth on her shoulders, a multi-pleated pomegranate skirt with flying birds, a yellow ribbon at the waist, red embroidered shoes faintly exposed under the skirt, a wristband inlaid with gold and jade bracelets, a goose egg face, a dragon's eye and a phoenix neck, skin like condensed fat, breathing out Youlan, suspected of being a moon palace Chang'e, like a goddess of Wushan.

Li Zhi had a feeling like a spring light, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and asked: "Please forgive the servant for his reckless sin, may I ask what book is the talent reading?" ”

Wu Cairen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "What book does Jiu Lang want to read?" The concubine can help find it, and the concubine will find the book very quickly, and she won't talk nonsense! ”

Li Zhi replied: "I want to read "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Beishan", this poem is very interesting, I don't know if there is one here?" As soon as the words fell, the martial artist pulled out a scroll and said, "Here, I found it!" ”

Li Zhi took the scroll, carefully placed it on the desk, then found a copper plate to wash his hands and feet, and then tidied up his clothes and crowns after washing, straightened his body and sat on the dragon beard seat, and then respectfully unfolded the scroll to read the Book of Songs.

Wu Cairen sat next to him, quietly watching his performance, and said with a smile: "Don't you feel tired reading like this?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "You should respectfully study the words of the ancestors, how dare you feel tired?" The martial artist asked, "Which teacher taught you?" Li Zhi replied: "It was taught to the servant by Master Lang Xiao Deyan!" ”

Wu Cairen asked again: "May I ask Jiulang, what does "Beishan" mean?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "Shichen complains that his boss distributes the work of his subordinates unevenly! ”

Wu Cairen asked again: "If Jiulang is that scholar, how can this status quo be changed?" ”

Li Zhi replied abruptly: "Huh? This question is very new, the servant has never thought of it like this! ”

And he said, "Won't the servant tell the doctor what he thinks in his heart and ask him to send an assistant to share the work?" ”

Wu Cairen said: "Aren't you afraid that the assistant will come and rob you of your iron rice bowl?" "Uh, this and this ......" Li Zhizhi couldn't answer.

Wu Cairen asked, "How did Master Xiao Deyan teach you to serve your boss?" Li Zhi replied: "A gentleman who serves his boss must be loyal in his thoughts, and make up for his mistakes in his thoughts, so that he will follow his beauty and save his evil." ”

The martial artist giggled and said, "According to what Master Xiao taught, you can't change the predicament of the scholars!" Be loyal, make amends, be obedient, and rescue, no matter how tired you are, you must bear it with all your might, and you can't complain about it, and you will continue to work hard until you have done your best and died! Right? Otherwise, you are a disloyal and unfilial person. ”

Li Zhi said, "Hey, that's right! But the servant feels that if he goes on like this, he will tire his subordinates to death, and he will not be close to people! ”

Wu Cairen said: "This is the problem of Confucianism, suppressing subordinates, not being close to people, being loyal and filial, but having no restrictions on the monarch and letting him be free!" In this way, the subordinates can only do their best, but the monarch can enjoy himself excessively, forming a set of abnormal etiquette order! ”

Li Zhi suddenly realized, got up and bowed to the martial talents, and said: "Thank you for the talent, the servant suddenly understood a truth, sometimes you have to establish the thinking of the monarch, give up the thinking of the subordinates, establish the thinking of the boss, and give up the thinking of part-time work!" If Shichen wants to change the predicament, he must either resist or start a new business and become his own boss, right? ”

The martial artist bowed back and said, "Jiulang is talented and intelligent, and he can understand it at one point!" He also said, "Dare to ask what is the ambition of Kuro?" ”

Li Zhi replied: "The father and brother are the upper ministers, and the lower ones are the courtiers, who manage the feudal country and caress the people." When you have nothing to do, put on your spring clothes, take your retinue, swim in the river, blow the wind on the terrace, and then sing and return. There is no greater happiness in life than this! ”

Wu Cairen showed a look of contempt, and said with a smile: "Jiu Lang Cai said that he wanted to establish the thinking of a monarch and a boss, why did he retreat when he talked about his ambitions? ”

Li Zhi didn't answer and asked: "What is the ambition of the talented people who dare to ask?" ”

Wu Cairen replied: "Of course I am a queen, but everyone is thinking about Empress Wende, and we will never make a queen again." ”

Li Zhi laughed and said: "This is the truth, although Aya has many concubines and beautiful women, A-Niang always occupies the center of his heart, and no one can replace him!" However, the servant has the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, far-reaching knowledge, and a very temperament, which is really no less than A-Niang! ”

Wu Cairen was surprised: "Really? But it's a pity that even if there are sinking fish and geese, and the moon is shy of flowers, in the end they can only wither and wither, accompanied by yellow mud! Unless Kurou is willing to help! ”

Li Zhi asked curiously: "We have different reputations, whether we give or receive kisses, how can servants help each other?" ”

Wu Cairen said: "As long as Jiulang gives up his subordinates and establishes lofty ambitions, he can help his concubine!" ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "Hey! Aya Ziling Baowei, Tingrui Jinying, was ordered in the Yingying period, held the picture of Yuyu, and the elder brother has been in the East Palace for many years, the servant is young and ignorant, and the talent is mediocre and thin, how dare he covet it? ”

Wu Cairen said: "No, as far as the concubine knows, the prince likes to hunt, extravagant, and often talks about loyalty and filial piety to the outside world, and when he returns to the palace, he will blaspheme with the group!" Not only did he not listen to the advice of his minister, but he also secretly sent someone to assassinate his minister, if he is in charge of the world in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to glorify Hongji! ”

He also said: "Shiro is versatile, he recruited bachelors to edit the "Chronicles of the Territory" in the Yankangfang Mansion, and went to the Luoyang Huixunfang Mansion with everyone! But he fought openly and secretly with the crown prince, trying to seize the heir, if his conspiracy succeeded, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Li Zhi was surprised and said: "Only people know these inside information!" ”

Wu Cairen continued: "Jiulang, according to the concubine's foolish opinion, I can only rely on you to save Datang in the future!" Therefore, you must establish ambitions, have the courage to take on great responsibilities, and carry forward the spirit of King Qin to break the battle to strive for victory! If you succeed, you will not only be able to get great rivers and mountains, but you will also be able to ...... "martial arts people are silent."

Li Zhi asked anxiously: "What else?" Hurry up! ”

Wu Cairen pointed at Li Zhi with a slender jade, turned around shyly, and said, "You can still hold a beauty!" ”

Li Zhi was also blushing and heartbeat, the deer collided, excited for a while, and said categorically: "For the sake of talents, even if there are demons and monsters in front of you, swords and mountains and fires, the servant must break through!" ”

He looked out the window again and said, "It's not too early, the servant is going back, talented, talk to you, it's better to study for ten years, so please be the servant's teacher!" Plenty of advice in the future. After speaking, he bowed respectfully and slowly withdrew from the library pavilion.
