"Nephew Shizhongxian, have you ever read this Tao Yuanliang's article?" Xu Ling slowly took out a collection of essays from the bookshelf, "Tao Yuanliang's articles are free to collect and release, and although your poems are well written, the articles that were presented to the old man just now are a mess, so it is better to learn Tao Yuanliang's writing style." ”

Li Xinchen hurriedly stretched out his hand to take over this "Tao Yuanming Collection", in later generations, Tao Yuanming's poems, as long as they are outstanding, will be well-known to the world, but in this era of still relying on handwritten transcription books, the value of this book is really not low.

Obviously, Xu Ling usually cherishes this "Tao Yuan Ming Collection", and often reads it, and the books are densely filled with annotations, so that Li Xinchen has more and more respect for this one of the best literary masters in the entire Northern and Southern Dynasties period, and teaches students according to their aptitude, so as to teach and educate people, Xu Ling can see at a glance the shortcomings of the articles written by Li Xinchen and what should be improved, and quickly gave a solution, this level is naturally quite high.

Xu Ling smiled and said: "Although Tao Yuanliang has had no ambition in his life, and finally simply retreated to the south of the East Fence Mountain, where he is in the prime of life as a virtuous nephew, and he should not study, but I have to say that his articles are quite remarkable, especially your life has always been stable and open-minded, but it is suitable for learning "Tao Yuanming Collection", but don't let down this book." ”

Seeing that Li Xinchen was thoughtful, Xu Ling also said that he felt difficult, and immediately patted the bookshelf lightly: "Don't be hindered by a book in front of you, your poems are excellent, but the article is not good, it means that you are talented, but you lack later learning and exercise." The reason for this is that it must have been very difficult for General Chen to teach Ling Zun how to write articles between the battlefields, and only taught Ling Zun poetry skills, otherwise there would not be today's situation. ”

After a pause, Xu Ling's eyes were full of expectation: "Don't let the old man down." ”

Li Xinchen snorted, and immediately wanted to speak: "Ming Gong, there is still something unknown ······ junior."

Xu Ling turned around and said lightly: "What you don't understand, even the old man probably won't be able to give you an accurate answer or solution." ”

Li Xinchen frowned, Xu Ling obviously didn't plan to say more.

At the beginning, he discussed with Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian, Li Xinchen came to visit Xu Ling, Pei Zilie went to visit Wu Mingche, and Xiao Shilian went to visit Pei Ji. It can be said that these three officials who play a pivotal role in the court will be related to the question of whether the princelings can really put up a shelf.

After all, in the final analysis, Shen Jungao, who is like a crane in idle clouds, and Xiao Maha, who has just stepped into the position of the first person in the army, are still difficult to support the system of the prince's faction by themselves or the two of them, so they still need the support of the old ministers in the court, and compared to Wu Mingche and Pei Ji, Xu Ling, the old fox, is of course the most difficult and the best candidate to deal with.

However, this Xu Ling is obviously not so easy to deal with, the old minister who has the ability to step by step to this position naturally knows how to be proportionate, and pays attention to everything to the point, at least for now, Xu Ling will not let himself be rashly involved in the dispute between the two princes.

Li Xinchen looked at Xu Ling's back and didn't catch up, Xu Ling couldn't be persuaded in a few words, and Li Xinchen didn't think that he would be able to easily take Xu Ling the first time. Or for Chen Shubao's party, even if Xu Ling didn't express his position in the end, as long as he didn't help each other, it was a good thing.

"Ming Gong's family has a rich collection of books, if Ming Gong does not dislike it, the younger generations should come to ask Ming Gong for advice." Li Xinchen arched his hand and said loudly.

And Xu Ling paused, the old man turned around and glanced at Li Xinchen, stretched out his finger and pointed to the books around him: "Virtuous nephew, read the books and say nothing." ”

Li Xinchen hurriedly bowed his head, walked to the table on the side, and opened "Tao Yuanmingji" to take a closer look. The above-mentioned petty small block is densely written, with analysis, praise and criticism of Tao Yuanliang's article, Li Xinchen can't care about anything else for a while, for him, persuading Xu Ling to take a stand is one thing, and taking this opportunity to absorb some knowledge is the other.

Naturally, there is no reason to delay the second because of the failure of one to do it.

Looking at Li Xinchen's serious and attentive appearance, Xu Ling nodded with satisfaction, and he also paced back and forth between the bookshelves, examining these books that he had painstakingly collected when he was young, just like looking at his own children.

However, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, interrupting the silence in the entire study, and a domestic servant walked to Xu Ling's side in small steps: "Duke Ming, the carriage of the two princesses has arrived outside the door. ”

"Oh?" Xu Ling nodded, glanced back at Li Xinchen, who was writing something with a pen, and waved his hand, "Let's go, go out to greet you." ”

————————————----

"Did Xiao Yuanyin ask you to come?" Wu Mingche looked at Pei Zilie, who was standing behind him respectfully.

No matter how cold and unapproachable Pei Zilie was outside, he always looked humble in front of Wu Mingche. Hearing Wu Mingche's question, Pei Zilie shook his head: "Actually, General Zuo Wei just asked us to focus on walking around a few houses, and didn't say what to do, nor did he say who to let come, so it can't be said that General Zuo Wei asked his subordinates to come over." ”

The pen in Wu Mingche's hand was paused and slowly put down, and the old man raised his head and smiled at this child, who was almost brought up by himself in the army. Perhaps because after returning to Jiankang Mansion, he was not as tired as he was on the front line, so Wu Mingche's face improved a lot, and the pain of the back sores that had been bothering him seemed to have been alleviated, and the old man obviously seemed to be in a good mood at this time.

The old man's gaze did not make Pei Zilie feel unhappy, but instead went straight to Wu Mingche. Wu Mingche couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, although this child is not taught by himself now, but the character of being decisive and daring to do things can be seen from this gaze, and it still hasn't changed, which makes the old man laugh happily:

"Dashi, you have only been following Xiao Yuanyin for a few days, and you know that you are defending him everywhere?"

Pei Zilie waved his hand again and again, and immediately figured out something, and said: "Well, since the subordinates follow the general of the left guard, they should naturally maintain the general of the left guard, which is the duty of the subordinates." ”

"It's a pity that many people can't do your job." Wu Mingche said lightly, "That's it, our grandfather doesn't have a lot of twists and turns, the old man knows what you are coming from." ”

Pei Zilie Huo Ran took a step forward: "My subordinates are not talented and don't understand many profound truths, so please let my subordinates understand it." ”
