Chapter 41: "Pure Heart"

"Erlang sits here first, if you are hungry, you can call the palace people to take food." The emperor pointed to the bookshelf in front of him and said, "Here are some of the classics that my father reads daily, and the ministers ask for them, so you can read them if you have nothing to do." There are some advanced knowledge, and if you don't know, you can come to your father and answer with you. ”

Tuoba Shen knew that this side hall was a place where the emperor was restricted to deal with state affairs, and sometimes he would summon officials here, so some sparse performances were also placed here waiting to be handled. In addition to handling official business, the emperor sometimes studied here, so there are also quite a few books here.

"Yes, Father!"

"Well, my father still has some official business that has not been handled, so I will not accompany you." After the emperor finished speaking, he went to sit down in front of his imperial case, opened the sparse music and looked at it.

Tuoba Shen watched the emperor flip through the notebook, and he was bored, he was not very hungry now, and he didn't want to eat alone in front of the emperor, so he went to the bookshelf to look for a book to read.

The types of books here are still very rich, there are hundreds of schools of thought, scriptures and historical anthologies, and some geography and hundreds of atlases. Among them, there are also agricultural books such as "Four People's Moon Order". After looking for a while, Tuoba Shen found out the "Sou Shen Ji" of Ganbao of the Western Jin Dynasty and the "World Sayings" of Liu Yiqing of the Southern Dynasty, looking at these two kinds of books, Tuoba Shen remembered that in his previous life, he had bought them at a roadside stall, but he was not interested in "Sou Shen Ji", but he had a soft spot for "The New Language of the World", and he often read them, and many stories were still fresh in his memory.

The stories in this book are short and concise, and they are quite interesting to read, and the events recorded are true and false, and cannot be fully believed. Later, the Tang Dynasty revised the Book of Jin and added these records as facts. However, considering that the "Book of Jin" and even books like "Sou Shen Ji" can be used as a letter history, it is not surprising to use a "New Language of the World".

In this book, Tuoba Shen likes "Xianyuan" the most, "Xianyuan" records the stories of female characters from the late Qin to the late Jin Dynasty. However, most of them are concentrated in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the characters in it, Tuoba Shen's favorite are Xin Xianying and Xie Daoyun, and the stories about them are all familiar by heart, and they have memorized them silently. Therefore, I first found the "Xianyuan" chapter according to the brief list.

After placing the scroll on the desk and sitting upright, Tuoba Shen opened the scroll and looked at it, a good habit he had forced himself to develop since he was studying, and there was no such thing as glasses in this era. The protection of glasses was one of the front positions by him, he didn't read in low light, he didn't read in shaky light, he didn't sit upright and didn't read, and there would be a certain time limit for reading at night, if possible, he was ready to pursue it for the rest of his life.

Looking at the small stories in my eyes, thinking about the experiences of these characters, and exploring their personalities between the lines, especially seeing Xie Daoyun these times, I felt a lot in my heart. When I first came to this world, I often was born in Jiangzuo at the end of the Jin Dynasty because I couldn't be more than a hundred years earlier, and I saw the demeanor of Xie An, Wang Xizhi and others in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and I didn't sigh and hate in my heart.

When he saw "Mrs. Wang's expression is scattered, so there is the wind of the forest, the Gu family's wife is pure heart and jade, and she is the beauty of the boudoir", he subconsciously reviewed the women he knew around him, and compared it, if you want to say that it is in line with the wind of the forest, there is no one, Qingxin Yuying is this, it seems that only Zuo Zhaoyi and Aunt Cao match, by the way, that Zheng Niangzi seems to be in line with it.

。。。。。。。

The emperor was reading a table about the construction of Wudu County and Lantian border fortifications in Yongzhou, Guanzhong, which said that there was a shortage of labor to build the fortifications, and that 330,000 people from the five nearby counties would be conscripted for three months, and more than half of the construction period had been completed, and he hoped that the imperial court would be able to requisition civil servants and prisoners again in the spring and summer of the next year to continue the construction period, so as to complete the fortifications before the arrival of autumn.

It is easy to say that the prisoners of Liangzhou, Qinzhou, Qizhou, Huazhou, and Yongzhou can all be recruited and transferred. But the matter of re-enlisting civilian service was not so easy to decide. After spring, it is necessary to hurry up with spring ploughing, and if you ignore spring ploughing and re-leviate, it may delay the agricultural time.

When the emperor had a headache, Zhang Mao walked in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the two princes are asking to see each other outside, hoping to come in to see the second prince." Has His Majesty declared it? ”

When the emperor heard this, he didn't think much about it, and subconsciously opened his mouth to agree, but when the words came to his mouth, he said: "No need, you go and tell them, just say that Erlang's health is much better, and he is resting, and it is inconvenient to see them" glanced at Tuoba Shen, who was writing something with a pen, and then said: "Take a box of cheese that Rouran paid tribute last time and give it to the two princes." Tell them not to stay in the Taihe Hall all the time, and if they are bored, they can do it themselves. ”

Watching Zhang Mao walk out of the palace with cheese, the emperor lowered his head and thought about the matter of sparse tables, thinking of the matter of Rencheng Wang Cheng, who is estimated to be able to return to the dynasty in the next few days, let's wait for him to come back, Ren Cheng Wang has been the Liangzhou Assassin for three years, and he should be consulted more about the situation in Guanzhong.

Putting down the sparse watch, he looked up at his second son Tuoba Shen, who had been reading and writing and had never spoken, and got up and walked to Tuoba Shen with curiosity for a while, wanting to see what the second son wrote.

Tuoba Shen was thinking about it, and he didn't notice that the emperor was behind him, but held a brush in his right hand and pressed his left hand on the paper, and his mind didn't know where to run.

The emperor looked at the variegated white paper in front of Tuoba Shen, on the top left of the paper was written "The Wind Under the Forest", the bottom was empty, the upper right was written "Qingxin Yuying", and below were "Feng", "Cao" and "Zheng", and the words "Feng" and "Cao" were written behind each of the words "Elder".

The emperor looked at the top eight characters, and when he saw the "World Sayings" on the side, he understood what it meant. The words "Feng" and "Cao" are followed by the word "elders", and it is clear at a glance who it is, but who is this Zheng?

The emperor remembered the last fasting meeting, and after returning to the palace, Zhang Mao reported the movements of his three sons in Yongning Temple, and said that the second son had been to the residence of the secretary and supervisor Zheng Xi, and then he seemed to understand something.

"Erlang! Who is Zheng here? You have always been in the palace, in addition to Concubine Zheng, is there any other girl surnamed Zheng in the palace? ”

Tuoba Shen was awakened by the emperor's words, and quickly got up and bowed. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not handle official documents, so he came to see him write tabloids. Fortunately, what I wrote wasn't something like obscene lyrics and songs, otherwise I would have to be taught a hard lesson.

"Father......" Tuoba Shen was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to say anything about Zheng Niangzi.

"Is this Zheng daughter the niece of Concubine Zheng?"

Tuoba Shen was stunned by the emperor's words, and was stunned for a moment. How did the emperor know? The emperor has no reason to send someone to investigate his actions as a child, he has a lot of things to do every day, how can he have the energy to pay attention to a child, or is there any boring person who has the leisure to pay attention to a prince and report to the emperor?
