Chapter 517: The Past of a Talented Woman
Luo Zhaoyun and Yu Shinan took a car to Tai Academy, and along the way, the two talked about speculation, although he had opinions about Yu Shiji, and felt that it was a minister, for his own power, and Pei Yun, Feng Deyi and others, they were sycophants to Yang Guang, blocking advice, and covering up the facts, so that Yang Guang could not hear the real report more and more, and could not solve the internal trouble in a timely and effective manner, which was a scourge to the Great Sui.

But this Yu Shinan has a good character, has a literati popularity, and knows that there are these darkness in the current career, although his brother has gained power in recent years, and recommended him to a new high position, but he has not accepted it, and he still serves as a secretary Lang, and has more time to serve as a lecturer in Taixue to teach the scholars of the academy.
"Brother Yu seems to care about this Xue girl very much."
Yu Shinan said: "It's not just me, many taboos and scholars in the academy respect her very much, and in the face of her request, they agreed for no reason, this is Zhiqing's personal charm, and it is also the reason why she is clean and self-conscious, dedicated to learning, and only to learn the reason for Jinghua, everyone has a love for her, not all of them are between men and women." ”
"Take me as an example, Yu has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven this year, and has already become a family, the eldest son Yu Chang is about to weaken the crown, every time I see Zhiqing, I have a special feeling, that is, I am a confidant who resonates with talents, and I treat her as my own daughter, she has a special appeal, invisibly, it will affect you, unconsciously, and be willing to do anything for her."
Luo Zhaoyun listened to Yu Shinan's eloquent words and confided in his heart, and couldn't help but have more understanding of Xue Zhiqing.
"Why hasn't she married for a long time, is she arrogant and unsightly for ordinary people?"
Yu Shinan smiled bitterly: "There is indeed a reason for this, when the old man Xue was alive, he was famous all over the world, countless protégés, and the scholars admired, Zhiqing followed Xue Lao since he was a child, and through the words and deeds of the old man, she could compose poems at the age of seven, and she could do literature at the age of nine, and at the age of thirteen, she read all the histories of the hundred schools of thought. I don't have the idea of getting married, I am dedicated to academics, unless someone can surpass her in literary talents, history, poetry, and historical materials, she will be tempted, so if you break off your marriage, even the royal family and the noble children of your relatives will not be welcomed. Later, even His Majesty admired her talent and beauty, and wanted to accept her into the palace as a concubine, but she refused, which also happened to Old Man Xue later. ”
"What?" Luo Zhaoyun was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that Xue Daoheng was imprisoned, which also contained this factor that could not be straightforward, Yang Guang had the intention of favoring Xue Zhiqing as a concubine.
Unexpectedly, this Xue Zhiqing was so strong and stubborn, he was not afraid of imperial power at all, nor did he embarrass Yang Guang by provoking it outward, but secretly refused all royal matchmakers and threats, and used the cultural influence of the Xue family to maintain his innocence.
Yang Guang is not easy to directly persecute, because once he loses his grounds, he offends the world's readers, and he can write to death thousands of times in private.
This is not to say that Yang Guang is afraid of Xue Zhiqing or literati, but he wants to create his glorious image, so that the world's gate lords and famous families around the world, those scholars recognize him, praise him, and leave his name in history, not wanting to destroy his glorious image.
Moreover, there was a request from Empress Xiao that she didn't want Yang Guang to use the power of the palace to oppress her, after all, Xue Zhiqing had given these concubines and many ministers' wives collectively a poetry class, and they admired her talent very much, and they had a friendship in private, so they pleaded for mercy.
Later, Yang Guang was busy crusading against Liaodong, and the matter was over, but because some wealthy nobles had heard the rumors, naturally those ministers were not bold enough to allow their sons to pursue the talented women that the emperor fancied, so the wealthy nobles all stayed away and did not dare to fight her again, so her emotional affairs were delayed.
"It's okay, it's not too old." Luo Zhaoyun comforted.
"Don't laugh at Guogong, some of the children of women of this age are almost ten years old." Yu Shinan sighed lightly.

The carriage entered the Tai Academy, which is currently the academy with the largest enrollment in the Great Sui, and the scale is also the largest, and the faculty is strong, and the current dean is Lu Chifeng, who is the son of the Northern Zhou Dynasty writer Lu Sidao, Fan Yang Lu, who has a great reputation.
Xue Zhiqing is the vice president of Taixue, and his power in the academy is not small, and his prestige is also very high.
After the expansion of Tai College, it occupies half of the square, with heavy buildings and high walls, blue tiles and gray walls, and full of ancient charm.
There is a hill here, the slope is not steep, but after Yu Wenkai's own design, the building is intricately intertwined, in line with the way of feng shui, so that the whole college building complex has a three-dimensional sense, enter from the main entrance, first is the teaching courtyard, to the back there are bamboo, flower beds, artificial lakes, rockery waterfalls, the scenery is elegant, a loft and a small courtyard, the ancient pavilion stone chairs, the corridor Qubo, that is the scholar usually gather here, play chess and poems, talk about the world affairs of the venue.
There are some independent courtyards on the hillside, which are reserved for the sacrificial wine to stay and live temporarily, and some scholars read late and do not want to go home, so they stay here for a while.
"Guogong, I'll get off here, there is a row of courtyards in front of Xiuzhu and Meilin, which is Xue Zhiqing's temporary residence, Guogong will go over by himself." Yu Shinan got out of the car and went to his accommodation.
Luo Zhaoyun walked on the cobblestone path that led to Xue Zhiqing's independent courtyard on the hillside.
It was a quiet and clear night, and the sky was bright and half-quartered, and even the beautiful patterns formed by the light and dark concave and convex on it seemed to be seen clearly, and the shallow and clear light was sprinkled on the earth, and the white snow on the ground reflected the mercury light.
After walking more than thirty meters, he came to the door, saw that the door was open, and walked directly into the courtyard.
Although it is not very expansive, it is exquisitely set with elegant houses, various potted plants, a few lush green bamboos, two plane trees, and a cluster of plum trees with branches covered with snow.
In front of the hall of the house, there was a pretty woman in her twenties, wearing a goose-yellow floor-length dress, wearing a plush leather jacket, a pair of crested boots, tall, slender waist, the whole yard was quiet, she was so lonely and alone, as if she was accompanied by the stars and moon.
The moment Luo Zhaoyun saw her, it was as if his body and mind suddenly calmed down, as if he had entered this courtyard and was isolated from the world, and was brought into a world free of strife and war by the environment here, as well as her ear temperament.
"You're here, Guogong." Xue Zhiqing saw him appear and was willing to come to the banquet, her eyes flickered, and it was difficult to hide the joy in the depths of her eyes.
Luo Zhaoyun came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and stepped forward to stare at Xue Dacai, the moon eyebrows were like slender willow leaves, the nose was straight, the jade lips were thin, and the momentary look at each other, unconsciously had a feeling of panic.
I have to admit that the appearance and temperament of this talented woman are rare in the world, no wonder so many talented people and nobles are willing to be sent by her.
"You invite, I have to come." Luo Zhaoyun smiled, looked at the talented girl who was a little cold, and suddenly had the urge to joke.
