The three of them have decided on the plan, Chen Zhong took out the Shu tea and brewed it, the tea was fragrant, and the atmosphere in the study was relaxed.

"Speaking of which, it is still the queen's mother's foresight," Yuan Xingzong said with a smile, "I have done justice for Mrs. Li from the beginning." ”

Chen Chong smiled helplessly on his face, and he didn't say anything, so he picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.

Wu Jie pursed his lips, thinking that this joke was not funny. The queen is jealous, not only favoring the harem, but also interfering in the family affairs of the princes and important ministers, and even the officials of the foreign court have spread. However, Yuan Xingzong only has this attitude in Chen Chong's study, and the Hedong lion in Luoyang's family is not easy to mess with. With the support of the empress, these officials and ladies in Kansai are all in the same spirit, helping each other, and the female power is quite terrifying, and it is a joke among the Kanto scholars. Wu Jie is an outlier among the Kansai generals, he not only married three wives, but also raised four singers to have fun at home, so despite his extraordinary talent, his promotion has been suppressed by Qu Duan.

"The queen mother may have some selfish intentions," Yang Ren picked up the teacup and sighed: "However, it is really a merit to the Great Xia Society." ”

Captain Yang suddenly sighed, what is the truth inside? Yuan is willing to be taught sincerely. ”

When others sighed, Yuan Xingzong just smiled, but Yang Ren was not an ordinary person, and immediately made a deaf look.

It is impossible for Yang Ren to flatter the emperor for no reason. Chen Zhong and Wu Jie were also curious, and listened to how he justified himself in the following.

"Lord Yuan is too modest," Yang Ren took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's just a fool's gain." ”

"The Han and Tang dynasties treated the heroes well, the power of the wealthy families covered the sky and the sun, and our dynasty also treated the heroes well, however, the emperors and queens of the past dynasties were loved, and the princes and magnates followed the example, and there were almost no Han and Tang dignitaries who were so poor and extravagant, and they accepted wives and concubines, so there were no more than four or five children of the princes, as few as two or three people, and even King Kang, who had no children who needed to succeed in order to continue the title. In addition, the imperial court has never been indiscriminately sealed, and a lord only shades one son, and after a hundred years, there is no worry about the children of the previous dynasty blocking the official career, and the princely family does not have many branches, and the interference and influence on the government is also small. Unconsciously, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the strong and powerful rose together, and the dispute between Tang Ji and Shishu was invisible in our dynasty. It's really emotional, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. The persistence of the queens of the past generations can be said to be indispensable. ”

"Lord Yuan," Yang Ren put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Do you say that's the case?" ”

"This ,......" Yuan Xingzong was stunned for a moment, and then he arched his hand, "That's right, Yuan has been taught." ”

Chen Chong looked at the two with a smile, and secretly praised Yang Ren for his extraordinary knowledge, and Yuan Xingzong's bearing was also good.

"Lord Yuan is polite," Yang Ren said with a smile, "Yang has been in the Protectorate Mansion for a long time, and his colleagues have been discussing the great rewards of this dynasty, and they have never blocked the way of heroes, so they just had some ideas by chance." Lord Yuan once served in the Tiance Academy, and if you talk about knowledge, you should be much stronger than Yang. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Yuan Xingzong arched his hand.

Yuan Xingzong put away his self-restraint and said secretly, Yang Ren is the leader of the Protectorate Mansion, and there is really no vain under his reputation. He had the intention of competing, pondered for a moment, and sighed, "Captain Yang's words are actually in line with the will of the founding of the country. When the founding of the country was formulated, the "Primogeniture Inheritance Decree" was deliberately promulgated, and the system of granting land according to households was implemented, forcing the people to divide their families according to the number of sons, and restricting the number of sons in a family to be granted fields must be separated by 300 miles, which was intended to break up the family and enable the soldiers to control the shade households. So it seems ......" Yuan Xingzong smiled slightly, held down and stopped talking.

It involves the intentions of the royal family and the imperial court, and Prince Chen Chong is on the side, although he is noncommittal, but if he says it too bluntly, I don't know if Chen Chong will be embarrassed. The five mansions of the imperial court are unobstructed on the surface, but there are countless things inside that are unknown to outsiders. Yang Ren is usually not easy to show off, but this casual remark shocked everyone. Yuan Xingzong used to be quite proud of the qualifications of the Tiance Academy, and he didn't have much to do with Yang Ren, but after this time, the two respected each other even more.

Wu Jie's face was a little complicated, in addition to his liking for fishing, he also liked to promote the people of the Wu clan. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful, when he was a lieutenant, he just wanted to be promoted to general as soon as possible, and his internal information about the operation of the imperial court was far inferior to Yang Ren. "Didn't you commit a taboo because of this, so you can't be a marquis, and you have been letting the villain in Quduan press me?" Wu Jie thought secretly. However, these words can only be hidden in the stomach. Today, Yang Ren inadvertently woke up Wu Jie, and he could only secretly write it down, and then try to remedy it in the future.

Calm returned to the study, and the four of them had their own thoughts, quietly sipping Shu tea.

............

The night breeze is slightly cool into the Luo Sha, the insects outside the window are buzzing and singing, and the white paper reflects the evening breeze blowing a few sparse shadows swaying.

Li Ruoxue sat at the desk, with a copy of Chu Suiliang's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" on her right, and several blank letterheads in her left hand, but in the middle was a new poem. Whenever she was sad, she had no one to talk about, so she pinned her heart on the words, which gradually became a habit. The ink marks on the paper are particularly new, and the letter paper placed on one side is still blank, only a few water stains in the corners have not dried.

Whenever Li Ruoxue wanted to write a letter to Zhao Xingde, it was always like this, she had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't know how to say it.

Is it hate, resentment, or lovesickness, what can you do?

She was full of sorrow, and unconsciously, when she missed her mind, the corners of her eyes were faintly watery.

"Madam," at this time, the maidservant said outside the door of the study: "Mr. Zhang is still outside asking to see him, does Madame want to see him?" ”

"Huh?" Li Ruoxue came back to her senses in a daze, took her eyes off the letterhead ink, and subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes, "Who?" ”

"Scholar Liu is waiting outside." The maid said again, "Does Madame want to see him?" ”

"Oh, he's not gone yet?" Li Ruoxue turned her head sideways, and a hint of strange color flashed in her eyes.

"It's getting late," she sighed, as she reached for her hair and stroked her hair, "sorry to ask him to go back." ”

At this time in Luoyang, it was common for women to show their heads, and there were also family members of Guanxi officials who rode horses and swaggered through the city, however, female teachers in the bachelor's mansion were still rare and very eye-catching. After rejecting Zhang Ruzhou's entanglement, Li Ruoxue has been very shy of the friendship between men and women, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this Mr. Liu Xin is just a colleague in the bachelor's house, after discussing several poetry articles, first for Li Ruoxue, and then there are some out-of-the-ordinary admiration moves, Li Ruoxue has avoided him, and has eaten several closed doors, Liu Xin always comes to visit. This matter has already caused some rumors outside, and people are terrible, and Li Ruoxue is helpless about it.

In the gatehouse of the Marquis of Baoyi's mansion, under the strange gaze of the servant, Liu Xin tasted the tea that was almost tasteless.

Mr. Li did not rest well at night and was sleepy in the morning, so he came to visit in the afternoon.

However, after waiting for nearly two hours, I didn't see the beauty's face, so I only waited for a "I'm sorry, please go back." ”

Liu Xin stood up and arched his hand: "In this case, please tell Mrs. Zhao that Liu will go here." ”

It's getting late, and if you don't stay any longer, it's a scoundrel.

Coming out of Zhao's mansion, not far away, there was a team of Confucian scholars carrying lanterns, looking at the shadows, there were hundreds of people.

The other party was in a hurry, and the pedestrians on the road avoided both sides. Liu Xin couldn't help frowning slightly, and walked over with his head held high.

Recently, because the content of Liu Xin's lectures in the academy was quite deviant, it caused dissatisfaction among many Qingliu scholars. Almost every day, some people came to the door to find trouble, especially some young scholars with strong blood, who accused Liu Xin of being "a young man of today's time", and had no respect at all. These days, Liu Xin can be regarded as a match with these people, although the other party is numerous and aggressive, he still strides forward.

He had a contemptuous smile on his face, and a rare look of righteousness and awe-inspiring appeared on his face, just waiting for those bloody boys to rush up and ask: "Are you Liu Xin's old horseman?" Hundreds of scholars with lanterns hurriedly walked over, not only did they ignore it, but even some rude people almost bumped into Liu Xin, and glared at him hatefully. Hundreds of people passed by, Liu Xin was slightly surprised, but stopped and turned around curiously to look back. I saw that these people walked outside Zhao's mansion and stopped, and a few leaders discussed a few words one after another, and then assigned people to disperse on the street, and then, someone took the lead in shouting, and everyone also shouted loudly.

"Guangnan Navy Division has won a great victory! Baoyi Hou covers the world! ”

"Mr. Zhao's literature can possess the people, and martial arts can threaten the enemy!"

"General Zhao wins! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

"Mr. Zhao has a clever plan! Tens of thousands of thieves have been caught! ”

"Mr. Zhao protects the territory and the people! Tens of thousands of thieves are ambushed! ”

"Zhao Zhuguo Wansheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

The Confucian scholars shouted while handing out unveiling posts to passers-by along the way. are all based on the latest news, describing how Zhao Xingde wisely annihilated the enemy's deeds, and there are many beautiful words. "I see. It is Zhao Xingde's lackey. Liu Xin shook his head, and a wave of disgust instinctively swelled up in his heart. Zhao Xingde is a hypocrite, but he can't do such a disgusting thing. These lackeys ran outside his house to Xuanhe, and they also took advantage of his momentum. ”

Since the Confucian students of the Dongren Society walked the streets and alleys and made efforts to promote Zhao Xingde to ascend to the position of the pillar country, many people regarded themselves as the disciples of the Zhao family, and when they encountered the wind and grass, they would move this sign out as a façade. Zhao Xingde himself may not know, with the Dongren Society as the leading, the Confucian students in Luoyang have formed a group, the party is the same and different, and the style is no different from the clear stream in the Kanto region. Liu Xin is unconventional in the bachelor's house, saying that human desire is the origin of evolution, and human ethics is above the principles of nature, which is contrary to Zhao's saying that "virtue matches heaven". The people of the Dongren Society denounced it as "the way of the beast", and the two sides refuted each other several times, and the Dongren Society was overwhelming, and Liu Xin's side was weak, but no one could convince the other party.

Liu Xin returned to the mansion, and several close disciples were already waiting in the flower hall.

Tian Lu saw Liu Xin coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then said: "Teacher, the situation in Kanto is still unstable, and the villain in Luoyang is embarrassed, so we appeal to Chang'an, why do you want to leave?" Only then did he know that Liu Xin was forced to leave Luoyang. Since Liu Xin pestered Li Ruoxue, some people have put pressure on the Luoyang Bachelor's Mansion to warn Liu Xin not to make a mistake, and another scholar has made a petition to the Bachelor's Mansion in the name of "bad morals and customs", requesting that Liu Xin be forbidden to lecture in Luoyang.

"There is no need to persuade anymore," Liu Xin was in a gloomy mood, shook his head and said, "The world is so big, you can't go anywhere." ”
