Text Chapter Seventy-Nine: Tears in the Sea Beads Falling on the edge of the bright moon
"History of the Han Empire • Wenyuan Chronicles" once recorded in detail the grand event of Cilinyuan in the winter of the sixth year of Emperor Wu's founding.
Thousands of scholars in the world, Hanmo Qionglin, were either recommended, or came by themselves, gathered in Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven personally planned the examination and selected the talents.
This is the first big move made since the son of today ascended the throne. The original intention was to select a few well-educated masters for the little prince Liu Ju and teach them in Bowangyuan, so that this prince who had high hopes could grow up well.
Later, because of something happening, Liu Che had more ideas, and his sense of expectation became more urgent.
On the inscription pillar in front of the Golden Horse Gate of Weiyang Palace, there is a "Autumn Wind Speech" written by him not long ago, which may give a better glimpse of his true mood at this time.
The autumn wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the grass and trees are yellow and the geese are returning to the south.
Lan has Xiuxi, chrysanthemum has Fang, and Huai Jiaren can't forget.
The pan-building boat is in the Fen River, and the middle of the river is Yangsubo.
The drums are singing, the joy is very sad, and the young are not old!
Time does not wait, thirst for good talents, and the voice of courage and passion has faintly resounded!
At that time, only a handful of people realized that this was a clear signal, and the emperor's patience was a little too much to wait. Most people are more surprised that this selection is different from the past.
The Son of Heaven personally came up with the question, as long as the scribes who came to Chang'an to participate in the Cilin Garden this time, regardless of their status and status, after reporting the records in Guanglu Temple, they could make a policy according to the topic for the evaluation of the merits and disadvantages.
This is an unprecedented attempt, which is different from the previous county recommendation and recommendation, and can be said to be the first prototype of the imperial examination system after a thousand years.
When Liu Che was behind the throne of Hanyuan Palace, he looked through the strategies of those people in the world who had different opinions and different views, and he was very satisfied with this attempt.
Since the founding of the Han Dynasty for more than 70 years, especially after the stable development of the "rule of Wenjing", the panorama of the prosperous era has been initially revealed. But the meritorious heroes and nobles and the high valve have gradually formed, and the court is gloomy and conformist.
If you are only a king who keeps the truth, you will only seek comfort and go with him. However, Liu Che was born with an uninhibited ambition! What he longed for was the deeds of his ancestors, and he even had ...... more.
"This kid...... Not to mention, it's a pretty good idea. At this moment, he put the finished volume on the case, tapped his finger, and the lazy shadow appeared in front of him, and there was a slight admiration in his tone.
The chamberlain gently put the good tea cup in the corner of the imperial case, peeking at the corner of the emperor's mouth with a smile, knowing that he was in a good mood today, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, quietly waved his hand behind him, and signaled the people who served to go farther away, not to disturb His Majesty's thinking.
Everyone retreated lightly to the veil and stayed at a proper distance so that they could be called at any moment. Both the palace maids and eunuchs felt very relaxed, and the Weiyang Palace, which had been shrouded in clouds for several days, finally gradually cleared.
Speaking of which, this little storm in the palace was caused by the new little marquis, and it was also up to him to find a way to settle it.
"Abduct the princess, go out of Weiyang Palace at night!" When Liu Che finally knew the news, his face was gloomy, and he ordered Li Kang, the captain of the Yulin Military Academy, to go! Catch that kid for me!
Three hundred red-robed Yulin troops galloped over, surrounded Fan Xue Tower, and took Changle Hou, who had just returned for half a day, away.
When Yuan Zhao came back early in the morning, everyone cheered. Xu Le, Sima Xiangru, Master Father Yan and others have been waiting for a long time.
The matters that Yuan Zhao said some time ago, after the Xu family in Sichuan and the Zhuo family in Shuzhong were believed, they were all happy! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity must be seized. Therefore, immediately send the right men of the family to come by starry night and be ready to wait.
Just met each other, and before they had time to discuss in detail, Yulinjun arrived, announced the word of heaven, and took Yuan Zhao into the palace immediately.
Everyone looked at each other, hey...... What's going on? However, seeing Yuan Zhao's relaxed face when he turned back immediately, and even made a grimace at Lingzhi and the other children, they were a lot more relieved, and they didn't expect it to be a big deal.
On the way to escort, the young lieutenant named Li Kang stared at Yuan Zhao for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this figure was suspicious, thinking of the person who shot down his feather arrow in the moonlight outside the palace wall, he had been depressed and depressed for a long time, and once became a magic obstacle in his archery cultivation.
"Are you the one who was outside the palace that night?" Li Dang's tone was a little serious. Although the person in front of him has the title of Hou Ye, he will not take it seriously.
"Oh? Don't know what you're talking about. Yuan Zhao didn't raise his head, and muttered casually.
"Since you have the ability to leave Weiyang Palace at night, don't dare to admit what you have done! Coward, huh! Li Dang's eyes were sharp and aggressive.
"Hey, I said, since you are so capable, don't guard the courtyard in this palace, go to Yanmen Gate! Your arrows should be directed in the direction of the Huns, which is the home of your father and son. Yuan Zhao was-for-tat, and his words were unforgiving.
"You...... Children will only be able to speak strongly! But I know something. "Not being able to crisscross the border and kill enemy chieftains like his father is exactly Li Kang's regret. But the scar was uncovered by this little child, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. But he couldn't do anything to him, so he had to hate the horse and jump to the front, and ignore him.
Yuan Zhao smiled and pursed his lips, although Lao Li's family is known as loyal and brave, they all have the bad problem of being arrogant. It can be said that from Li Guang to his son Li Kang, and then to his grandson Li Ling, generation after generation is more and more ambitious.
Lao Li was angry with himself, wiped his neck and killed himself. Xiao Li fought with Huo Quai, and was shot by the more proud Xiao Huo with an arrow. waited until Xiao Xiao Li fought with the temperament, but as a result, he was humiliated and buried in the desert. The tragedy of this family's unfortunate death is inseparable from pride, and it is still good for them to find opportunities to frustrate their spirit in the future.
When he came to Weiyang Palace, Li Dare handed over Yuan Zhao to the waiting guards, didn't look at him again, and turned his head away angrily. In the hall, Emperor Liu Che sat alone on the high throne, looking at the person standing with his hands down with a straight face, and did not speak for a long time.
"Tell me for yourself, who gave you so much guts! dared to take the Han princess out of the forbidden palace at night. Do you know how much of a sin this is? Hum! A dull voice came from above, bringing with it the majesty of the emperor.
"Damn! What kind of sin is it to take your daughter out for a walk and make her happy! It's your ruthlessness to push her into the fire pit! Yuan Zhao's face remained unchanged, and he secretly slandered.
"Your Majesty, the kid was originally born in the mountains, and he has wandered around with his master since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about these rules, so I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." He pretended to be respectful.
Hearing him say this, Liu Che's expression moved, and he was a little relieved.
"Boy, I can't see it, my ability is not small! Listening to the guards, they were able to pass through the deep palace, and the eaves were like walking on the ground. Tsk, good kung fu! Liu Che changed his tone, with a hint of ridicule.
The chamberlains and palace people standing not far from the corner of the hall were all surprised, it was extremely rare for the emperor to speak to people in such a tone.
Yuan Zhao was also a little stunned, you have been rewarded with the title of a marquis, and you are still such a boy, how can you be embarrassed!
"Oh, back to Your Majesty's words, although the kid has also learned some superficial kung fu since he was a child, but they are just some self-defense skills, but they are not worth mentioning."
After that, there was silence again. Liu Che didn't embarrass him on this topic anymore. With a wave of his hand, all the attendants in the hall retreated, and the surroundings fell silent.
"Do you know what the title Princess Lean means?" Cold words, implicitly heavy.
Yuan Zhao sighed imperceptibly, and did not answer positively, but said in a low voice: "The history is full of blood and tears." Bright white bones, once red-faced! ”
There was a soft "click" behind the throne, as if something was being scratched.
"What do you know! Compared with the personal feelings of children and children, the righteousness of the family and the country is more important than anyone else. Su Xi is my flesh and blood, will my heart be so comfortable? Liu Che's voice was excited.
He has always been humiliated, uncomfortable, unwilling, and resentful...... As the supreme in the world, no one can tell him, he can only be depressed in his heart, and there is nothing to dispel.
Today, for some reason, at this moment, I inexplicably have a trust in this child who is only more than eight years old under the Golden Order. blurted out the emotions that had never been declared, and the fingers clenched unconsciously under the excitement, and even the carved railing of the throne was broken.
Yuan Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed his head and was silent.
"What? Why don't you answer my words! I gave up a daughter, in exchange for ten years of development opportunities in the world. Is it wrong? At that time, this account will be repaid by the Huns tenfold and hundredfold! I have this faith. ”
"But...... What about Suxi? Who cares about her fate! Yuan Zhao looked up at the man standing tall.
"Whether it is a princess or a woman from an ordinary family, since I am a citizen of the Han Dynasty, I have the obligation to make my own dedication to this world! In order to protect more people in the world, it is worth sacrificing anyone. How can my daughter be an exception?" There was a faint pain in the cold words.
"If a country can't even protect its own daughter, what else can it say." There is no trace of timidity in the blandness.
"Bold! Ignorant child, how dare you speak to me like this. Do you really think that with the favor of your ancestors, I can't kill you? ”
The majesty of the emperor is inviolable, and the guilt of his daughter in his heart has already made his heart sensitive, and anger swelled up on his face, Liu Che pointed at Yuan Zhao and scolded loudly.
"I know that Your Majesty has his own helplessness, and the imperial court is powerless to fight against the strong enemy in the north in a short period ......of time." Liu Che looked down at the short figure, and saw that he was not afraid, but instead stood up straight, his expression became formal, and he continued to talk eloquently.
“…… If...... I don't have to wait for ten years ......, I have some superficial ideas, and I originally wanted to plan to be more mature, and then I wrote to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to make a ....... Yuan Zhao didn't look in the direction of the emperor, but just looked at the nine dragon pillars in front of the hall, the dragon's horns were towering, and the claws were flying.
Liu Che suddenly had a sense of surprise and faint expectation in his heart. Is what the Empress Dowager said to herself true? Could this ordinary child really contain some kind of magical power?
“…… If you can start preparing according to some of the things I said, maybe, without waiting so long, Your Majesty can do what he wants. ”
Yuan Zhao finally raised his head and glanced at the person above the ninefold, the Great Han Tianzi looked at him quietly with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"As long as Your Majesty promises me one condition...... Take back the order of the relatives and let Princess Suxi stay in Chang'an. The wind shook the curtain, and there was a promised promise, faintly spoken.
That time I accompanied her to watch the meteors all night, and that time I accompanied her to walk all over the prosperity of Chang'an, just to take back the tears that fell on the red dust of the sea, the eighteenth floor of the bell tower, the end of the world and the bright moon, someone once whispered softly.
"Let's go, take you home, don't be afraid of ......!"
