Seeing Gao Yue's stunned expression, Yan Zhenqing explained with a smile, "I and Shaoyuan were called to Beijing after the overthrow of Yuan Zai, and we were waiting for the Holy Lord to open Xiao Yanying in the waiting courtyard. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Gao Yue understood - presumably Yan and Li had been excluded by Yuan Zai before, and now the emperor was a virtuous minister in national distress, and he recalled them, presumably to reuse them, so he asked Yan and Li twice: "Dare to ask the two, what book do you want to borrow?" ”

Yan Zhenqing said that I want "The Ceremony of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Book of Rites".

Li Mi said that he needed Sui Chaoben's "Lao Tzu Shu".

After hearing this request, Gao Yue led the two to the Four Book Pavilions, and directly found the "scripture library" among the dazzling bookshelves, and then according to the sign of the calligrapher in the morning, he found the yellow ribbon and the red toothpick, and then untied the oilcloth covering the book, and quickly found the two books requested by Yan Zhenqing.

Yan Zhenqing nodded slightly, very satisfied with Gao Yue's strictness and neatness in doing things.

Then Gao Yue found a special red glazed scroll from the bookshelf where the previous dynasty was specially placed—this is the characteristic of the Sui dynasty's book, and he quickly found "Lao Tzu Shu" and handed it over to Li Yu.

Li Mi smiled and saw that the red glazed shaft of the scroll had turned slightly yellow, so he asked Gao Yue, "The scrolls of the Sui book are all glazed axes, which are divided into blue and red, but this shaft is yellow, how did Lang Jun identify it?" Li Mi is a well-known book collector, who loves books like his life, and is known as the "Book City", so he is naturally extremely proficient in the doorway of book collection.

"I heard from the clerk of the library that the glass shaft will change color after a long time, among which the green will turn black, and the red will turn yellow. Gao Yue was fortunate to have asked the scholars for life experience in the morning.

Hearing this, Yan and Li both laughed, just before Yan Zhenqing had read Gao Yue's bookcase, and put Huang Tingjing's correction paper there well for inspection by the Imperial Historical Observatory - and the other corrected bookcases were all disorganized, and people who were serious about things have never been annoying, especially for the position of school secretary and orthography.

"Alas, it would be nice if this country could be like the library of Jixian Academy, and each of them would be in peace!" Yan Zhenqing sighed.

Then the two thanked Gao Yue, and then carried the book back to the waiting yard - presumably the waiting time there was also very difficult.

I don't know what Your Majesty will talk to these two in the Xiaoyanying Hall at that time, and what kind of arrangements will be made.

The sun of Daming Palace slowly tilted, and soon it sank completely, the night of Chang'an came, Gao Yue carefully put the written scroll into the book he carried after the time of diligent writing, and then paced to the bedroom of the west outer courtyard, lying on the couch and falling asleep soundly.

The next day, Xu Hao, Chen Jing and a few others arrived half an hour later than the normal point. After coming to the hospital, he called Gao Yue to gather in the hall of the Zhiyuan Academy.

Chen Jing's face was embarrassed, and Xu Hao was silent.

When I asked, I found out that the food cost of Jixian Yuan had been severely cut, from the original cost of 300 yuan to 75 yuan. When asked who it meant, the answer was the work of Prime Minister Chang Gon.

Chang Gon, who almost capsized in the Ziting retest before, began to be active again at this time, and he took the lead in expressing his position to the emperor with the slogan of strict thrift-before when Yuan Zai was in the phase, the prime minister was only two or three people, but he provided more than ten people's meals when he ate, which was too extravagant, and this system has not been changed so far, it is actually a poison left by Yuan Zai, and it must be cleared.

Among them, Jixian Yuan was specially "cared for" by Chang Gon, he said that now Jixian Yuan is discharged from the hospital to collect more books, and less to stay in the hospital, so it is most appropriate to pay the actual amount of food cost according to the hospital, and cut off three-quarters.

Chang Gon's proposal, the emperor is not easy to refute anything, he can't say, "Eat and eat, eat with confidence, I am not afraid of waste at all to raise you officials", so he issued an edict to obey.

Jixian Yuan is just one of the lawsuits that have suffered, but the reaction of the scholars and the correction is very fierce: Jixian Yuan is not a real department, there is no oil and water, and now it has to cut the working meal, but how can it be good?

Just when everyone was angry, the patriarch Xu Hao signaled everyone not to get excited, "Alas, you are still young, but I have experienced the days of Lingzhou (referring to the Tang Suzong Caochuang Imperial Court), what kind of food and food did you have at that time?" It's good to go out and pick up some wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger, you guys, I can understand the mood, but don't talk nonsense and be played by the imperial historians. In this way, since the cost of food has been cut by three-quarters, and it is not realistic to eat at the porch every day as before, then we can see things every day, and the quantity of food will be reduced, so we must try to maintain the quality ......"

"Seeing things every day?" A huge exclamation mark rose in Gao Yue's heart, this is okay!?

The meaning of this "inter-day view" is very clear, that is, to go to work every other day, specifically the emperor's single-day court meeting, we also come to work, but the double day is not used, so that both parties are not embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Xu Hao's proposal was unanimously agreed, and even Chen Jing, the judge of the court, also agreed.

There is really no unified system for the officials of the Tang Dynasty to go to work, and even if there is, it can't stop this group of people from not complying, and when the treatment is reduced, the bureaucrats will consciously be lazy and lazy, and this law is really unchanged for thousands of years.

But what Xu Hao said next made Gao Yue even more unable to close his mouth, "Since the cost of food has been reduced to seventy-five guan, it is useless to put the remaining two hundred and twenty-five guan back in the provincial house, Chen Zhiyuan - get it back as soon as possible, five hundred wen per scholar, three per person for correction and bachelor, and divide the money of the Run's family." "This food capital was originally allocated by the emperor to the lawsuits, and the lawsuits were then lent to the outside world, and the interest was used as a meal, and now Xu Hao is obviously not ready to pay back the extra capital to the treasury, but to divide it privately.

After the end of the day's dinner, Gao Yue and Wang Xuan, Ding Ze and other corrections left Jixian Courtyard, along the wall of the chief of the women's house, and walked to the Zhaoqing Gate, the cherry trees outside the women's courtyard began to scatter flowers, falling on their heads and shoulders, although Ding Ze did not dare to say bad things about the emperor, but dared to say Chang Gon's, "This prime minister is too strict and perverse, just cut the cost of food, I heard that he also sealed the door between the political hall and the courtyard of the house, which means that the political affairs do not need to be discussed with the Cui Sheren of the Quanzhi Zhongshu Province, this is not called arbitrary power What is it called?" ”

"Now even the Holy Lord can't stand it, and Kai Yanying summoned Yan Lugong and Li Shaoyuan to come to this is the matter." Wang Wei whispered about the recent gossip.

"Have you chosen a Chinese scholar from these two?" Ding Ze asked with concern, everyone hopes that there will be a new Zhongshu Shilang on the throne, and then everyone's food cost standard will be restored.

Wang Wei shook his head: "It is said that Chang Xiang tried his best to make a stumbling block, and in the end, the Holy Lord was helpless, Yan Lugong stayed in Beijing because of his skillful etiquette, and awarded the post of Shang, and the original Liu Yishang gave Shangshu a servant to shoot, and he knew Sanquan." ”

"What about Li Shaoyuan?"

"It is said that I didn't even stay in Kyoto, waiting to assassinate a certain state."
