His Majesty Li Er was dressed in regular clothes, carrying his hands behind his back, and walking as a car. The guards spread out front and back, keeping on guard at all times.

A stream pours from the top of the mountain, flowing water meanders and twists and turns, flows on the side of Fangjia Farm, and then turns north, all the way down the mountain to Weishui.

Where the stream passes through Fangjia Farm, there is a small stone bridge, the peach trees on both sides of the stone bridge are forested, this time the spring is bright, the peach blossom green leaves have not yet appeared, but a tree buds, with the warm spring breeze blooms a crack, revealing the pink and white leaf petals inside.

Streams, stone bridges, peach blossom ......

All nature in spring looks smiling and gay..

His Majesty Li Er stepped on the stone bridge, looked back, looked downstream along the stream, and saw the spacious field figures in a hurry, occasionally there were ploughing oxen making a "moo" sound, flicking their tails and easily pulling the plow stick to walk in the field, and there were farmers holding the plow stick behind, and the straight ridges stretched out soothingly......

Farther afield, there are villages on the hillside, and at noon, the village is quiet and occasionally the roosters and dogs bark, and you can imagine the tranquility of the smoke curling in the morning and evening.

There is not only the tranquility of the quiet scenery, but also the fireworks of chickens and dogs, which seems to be slightly better than the gorgeous and magnificent garden......

His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, a little resentful in his heart, and was about to ask Wang De if this place was still within the scope of Fangjia Farm, and whether it was possible to be included in the Xingyuan, when he heard a faint voice from behind a line of peach trees on the west side of the bridge.

"The house horse made it here that day, 'The waves are intentionally snowing, and the peach blossoms are silent, and a team of spring.' A pot of wine, a rod, as happy as how many people I have'? ”

The voice is delicate and pleasant, and it smells like a yellow bird.

His Majesty Li Er could hear the voice of Princess Fang Ling, and then remembered that the prince visited Fang Jun for the first time, and Fang Jun made the song "Fisherman" to persuade him. What is particularly rare is that while making this poem, he also made a poem with a very similar artistic conception: "A spring breeze and a leaf boat, a cocoon and a light hook." The flowers are full of Zhu, the wine is full, and the waves are free......

Of course, His Majesty Li Er certainly admires Fang Junzhi's talent, but for an emperor, such a chic and freehand artistic conception is something that can be encountered but not sought, even if he yearns for it, he also abandons it. If all the talented people in the world are fishing all day long with fishing rods, who will govern the empire?

It was another sentence that Fang Jun said that day, which made His Majesty Li Er empathize with and highly respect.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!

Who doesn't covet the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme?

But who knows that behind this supreme power in the world, there is a huge pressure like Mount Tai overwhelming!

Always guard against rebellion by your courtiers, rebellion by the people, and even by your own sons...... We must be vigilant against the subversive hearts of our neighbors, and we must no longer lose cities and lands in our own hands; It is necessary to make great efforts to strengthen the empire and expand its territory; It is necessary to govern the government and care for the people to live and work in peace and contentment......

Can an emperor who holds the supreme power of the world do whatever he wants?

Definitely not!

Not only is it not, but it has to endure all kinds of shackles and constraints, suppressing the hidden desires in the bottom of his heart, unless he wants to be a king of the country like Xia Wei Shang......

If you want to sit in this position, take the country as the table, take the common people as the chess, and guide the country to hold the sun and the moon, is it so easy?

After Taolin, Fang Jun's voice came out: "Your Highness smiled, but it was just a contemptuous work that should be said smoothly that day, I am afraid that it will pollute Your Highness's ears and eyes." ”

"Oh, dignified Erlang, when was you so humble? If your poems can also be called despicable works, then do you want the world's soldiers to live? Princess Fang Ling's laughter was as crisp as a silver bell, and she was obviously in good spirits.

"Most of the people in the world are vassals and elegant, and people are also in the clouds, but they are just a few poems, but they are spread vigorously, as if they can shake the past and the present. Even if there is no one before and no one after us, so what? Poetry is a small way, which can neither make the empire strong and invincible, nor can it make the people have three meals and food and clothing. ”

Listening to Fang Jun's modest words, His Majesty Li Er nodded secretly.

Although this kid is arrogant and reckless, he has always been superior in insight and can always make thought-provoking arguments.

I heard the crown prince Li Chengqian ask: "Why is Erlang so contemptuous of the way of poetry?" If it is really as unbearable as you say, why does the imperial examination of the imperial court still use poetry to win or lose, and those who excel in poetry are selected for high school and awarded official positions? ”

"Your Royal Highness, the imperial examination is a great ceremony for the country, and it is used by the empire to promote the world's scholars. But all the scholars in the world are children of families, how many people can be from poor families? If all the children of the middle family are selected for the imperial examination, it will deviate from its essence and be useless. The reason why we should use poetry and poetry to discuss the victory and defeat, rather than the mystery of the subset of classics and histories, as the criterion for selecting materials, is because compared with the profound knowledge that requires years of continuous study and family history inheritance, poetry and poetry are more focused on the talent of scholars. Relatively speaking, it is more fair, after all, how many children from poor families in this world can read a lot of books and get the guidance of famous teachers? ”

As the main planner of the imperial examination system, Fang Jun said that the purpose of the imperial examination at this stage was broken, and it was really helpless to use poetry and poetry as the main basis for material selection. Otherwise, if the questions in the exam are from the subset of scripture and history, I am afraid that the poor scholars in the world will be wiped out, how can they compare to the children of the family who have been immersed in it since childhood?

There was a moment of silence behind the peach forest, probably thinking about the meaning of Fang Jun's words.

His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly.

The crown prince is a dutiful person, kind-hearted, forgiving, and forgiving, as a gentleman who keeps his success, he is really the best. It's just that at present, the Tang Dynasty is thriving, both the economy and the military are embarking on a path of rapid development, the social situation is changing rapidly, just the ability to defend the city is far from enough, it takes forging ahead and being eloquent to master this huge empire, and move forward all the way towards an unprecedented strong and domineering road, unify Liuhe, and sweep the eight wildernesses!

In this regard, the crown prince is inferior to Li Tai, the king of Wei......

But who called this his firstborn?

If it weren't for his own talent and a number of desperate celebrities to assist, I am afraid that the empire would have fallen into civil strife and be taken advantage of by foreign enemies. If his throne is not passed on to his eldest son, he is afraid that after a hundred years, the empire will be in flames, falling into internal strife, and he will miss the good situation of dominating the four seas and creating a great cause for the ages.

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the young slave who has recently been very close to the eldest grandson Wuji......

After standing on the stone bridge for a while, His Majesty Li Er walked towards the peach forest with his hands in his hands. The own guards stepped forward to inform the prince, Fang Jun and others, but they were stopped by His Majesty Li Er with a slight wave of his hand, and the guards bowed slightly and dispersed to the surrounding realm.

Walking down the small and delicate bluestone bridge, bypassing the rows of budding peach trees, you will see a low stone table placed under the peach trees by the stream, with delicious wine and food on the table, and a thick carpet of the Western Regions around it, and a few people are sitting on the ground, drinking and talking.

The sudden appearance of His Majesty Li Er made the atmosphere here instantly freeze, and several people were stunned for a moment, hurriedly got up together, and respectfully saluted: "Erchen (Weichen) has seen his father (Your Majesty)!" ”

His Majesty Li Er stepped forward, with a warm smile on his face, and bowed his head gently: "Excuse me!" The stream is clear, the peach forest is dying, the blue sky and white clouds, spring and Jingming...... You'll enjoy it. Why, Fang Jun, you don't need to go to Jingzhao Mansion to work? ”

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, recently, my wife and concubine are about to give birth, and Weichen has already taken leave with all the Zaifu in the political affairs hall, and has the right to accompany his wife and concubine at home." Today, it happened that several His Royal Highnesses came to visit Princess Gaoyang, and Weichen naturally wanted to set up a banquet to entertain him, and he made a little bit of the friendship of the landlord. ”

His Majesty Li Er snorted: "Gao Yang is in the city mansion at the moment, you have to go to Lishan for a banquet and entertainment, but you are not too troublesome?" ”

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

The crown prince Li Chengqian and Princess Fangling saw His Majesty Li Er's calm face, and they were a little weak-hearted, what is the matter with this emperor, they feel that they are here to find fault......

Even if you are the emperor, you can't care where the courtiers are feasting, right?

Princess Changle's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she glanced at Fang Jun, who was sweating slightly on her forehead, with a slight smile on the corner of her lips.

It seems that as long as she sees Fang Jun, who is usually arrogant and domineering, showing a slightly embarrassed and panicked look at the moment, she is extremely happy......
