Chapter 44: Li Shimin is coming back
After a long field vacation, after Cui Ying invited him to enjoy the flowers, Luo Yan never received any more invitations. During the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, in addition to fulfilling the promise with Ying'er, he stayed in the Lu Mansion and studied with Master Lu at other times.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the field vacation was over.
Back at the Editorial Academy, the editing of "Art and Literature Gathering" officially began. Because of the huge volume, starting from "Heavenly Division", it is assigned according to some books for each person, so that only the content extracted by each person needs to be summarized and proofread, and the speed will naturally be faster.
Luo Yan and Shen Jixian, the two newcomers, will naturally receive some care. Considering that the two of them are still young after all, in fact, Luo Yan is young, and Shen Jixian is one round older than Luo Yan no matter how he says, so the book assigned to Luo Yan is "The Analects". That's right, if they say that they want to proofread and annotate the Analects, these people may not dare to leave the matter to Luo Yan.
However, at this time, it is a kind of book that is being edited. The "Analects" in the secretary's collection has been proofread by these people several times, and there is absolutely no omission. So Luo Yan's next job is to find the chapter words and phrases needed for similar books in this book, and then pick them out.
For such a simple job, these editors-in-chief will naturally throw it to the juniors. Even if something goes wrong, when they proofread it again, there is a chance to revise it. Therefore, Luo Yan is basically the most comfortable one in the eyes of others.
But at this time, Luo Yan had an urge to cry.
Holding a copy of the Analects, I have to read it for dozens of days, so my task time is really getting tighter and tighter. Although the editing mode is already a little close to the assembly line, for myself, this speed is not fast. I already have the template of "Art and Literature Gathering" in my head, and it is not easy to find these things.
In the following time, Luo Yan felt deep pain, and every day he had to have leisure time to hold "Beitang Book Money" and read all kinds of crazy things.
However, such efforts are not without gains, and as time goes by, Luo Yan has clearly felt that his ability to read is stronger than before, I don't know how many times.
Whether it is mental concentration, memorization and recitation, or even comprehension, the speed is much faster than before. Recently, Lu Fuzi began to teach the Analects, and when he was examining Luo Yan's learning progress, even Lu Fuzi was stunned by Luo Yan's recent learning results, and kept praising his beard.
Although Luo Yan's performance was also outstanding in the past, it is still very difficult to get the praise of Lu Fuzi like now.
As for the other harvest, it is really unintentional. Because of the editing, Luo Yan's time to complete the achievement task has been compressed very little, which forces Luo Yan to study hard anytime and anywhere. Walking, eating, resting, carrying books all the time. Then, Luo Yan became famous.
After becoming an official, there are fewer people who can't release the papers. Especially for a young man like Luo Yan, this flowery world in Chang'an is a great temptation for young people. At this time, people thought that Luo Yan was putting on a show at first, but after a month, this rumor was broken.
The words of the Shangguan and colleagues of the Editorial Institute praising Luo Yan's hard study spread quickly, and then the old master Lu Deming angrily scolded some students for not studying hard at Guozi School one day, and even one-tenth of Luo Yan's was not as good as one-tenth of Luo Yan.
Of course these people are not convinced, even if you Luo Yan works hard, everyone's time is the same, how can it be said that we can't even compare to one-tenth.
But the reasons Lu Deming came up with made these people speechless. Luo Yan rested for four hours every day, and at other times, his hands were never empty. In a month, Luo Yan read more than ten books in Lu Deming's study. And they have all been tested by Lu Deming one by one, and the memorization and comprehension are all not passable.
For the investigation of knowledge, Lu Deming's strictness is also well-known in Guozixue. He will not release water just because Luo Yan is his own disciple, on the contrary, this kind of inspection will be stricter than others. In other words, Luo Yan has read more than 20 books for the real time.
Coupled with the famous "Beitang Book Banknote" in his hand, this is not something that ordinary people can do.
For a time, Luo Yan became a model for persuading young people to study hard. Especially the students of Guozixue, they are simply deeply poisoned by Luo Yan. At home, the parents compared Luo Yan in various ways, and when it came to Guozixue, the teacher took Luo Yan as an example. These people really have the urge to strangle Luo Yan to death.
However, such an impulse is just to think about it, and some of the students of Guozixue have personally experienced the matter of Luo Yan scaring and paralyzing Chi Baolin. These people don't know what Luo Yan's combat effectiveness is, but that mouth, the viciousness of the mouth, is passed on by word of mouth in Guozixue.
Fortunately, the suffering of these people did not last long, because with the further stabilization of the situation in Shandong, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, wanted to return to the dynasty.
This is a big event that shakes the government and the opposition.
Because Li Shimin attacked Xu Yuanlang before and occupied more than ten cities one after another, Du Fuwei, who was frightened by Jianghuai, took the initiative to ask to enter the court and obey orders. Although Liu Heimin is still following the Turks to constantly attack and harass all parts of the north, the Jianghuai region will be pacified soon, and Li Shimin, who is already a general of Tiance at this time, will come back, how can this credit be calculated?
Moreover, Li Shimin's group of military generals under Ziwenchen went on the expedition for a few months, how can this credit be counted?
Also, when Li Shimin was not in Chang'an, the crown prince Li Jiancheng engaged in wind and rain and attracted many people. Recently, even Ouyang Xun was made by Li Yuan to be the prince's mansion.
Some people say that Ouyang Xun is just a literati, and it is also Li Yuan's intention to let him be the leader, and he has a hairy relationship with Li Jiancheng. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Ouyang Xun has just joined Tang not long ago. This servant has only been in office for a few days, if it weren't for Li Jiancheng's intention, Li Yuan would have made such a happy order?
Therefore, when Li Shimin comes back, the court will definitely not be calm.
However, fortunately, Li Yuanji, the most troublesome King of Qi, was left in Shandong, and he would not add chaos to chaos, which was the only good news before Li Shimin's arrival.
The undercurrent above the court did not affect the enthusiasm of ordinary people for gossip.
Don't forget, Liu Qingyu also said before that after Li Shimin's arrival, there will be a celebration banquet. Then, Liu Qingyu will also offer wine. These two things can be brought out separately to make people rush to it, but now when they are added together, what kind of situation will it be.
The Qin Wangfu released the news in a timely manner, and after Li Shimin came back to report on his work, he held a celebration banquet in the natural residence. At that time, the entire natural residence will not be open to the public. If you want to participate in the celebration banquet, in addition to the invitation letter, other people who want to enter the door of the natural residence need to pass the assessment.
Entering the first level, it is necessary to assess the memorization of the scriptures, which is responsible for two well-read Confucian scholars. This first level can stump a large number of people, and those who can pass this level are probably not many people from the Ming Jingke. Once you enter the first floor, you can enjoy the wine and food of the natural residence, but if you want to see King Qin and many heroes and beauties like Liu Qingyu, it is completely hopeless.
To enter the second layer, you need to assess your quick intelligence, as for how to assess, it is very simple, guess the lantern riddle within the specified time. At this time, if the head is not flexible, it will definitely die. When you get to this floor, the natural treatment is a little better, in addition to the delicious food and wine on the first floor, there are also special musicians to play. And Li Shimin will also come down to take a look during the celebration.
It's a bit of trouble to go up to the top floor, and you have to write poetry. As for what poems to write, a few great Confucians made temporary questions. The top floor is different, with everything you need. But there are only ten places to enter the top floor.
At noon on the second day after Li Shimin's debriefing, before the banquet in Shenshi, all the literati in Chang'an City could participate in this assessment.
This kind of assessment method is simply generous, and it is not much worse than the level of some imperial examinations. In the face of the challenge, the literati of Chang'an City became even more excited. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to become famous, although entering the top floor of the natural residence is not as glorious as being a bachelor in the Literature Museum, but it is also much more famous than the scientific examination.
Luo Yan naturally did not let go of this opportunity.
However, compared to others, he is obviously much more confident. After all, the system is not given for nothing, he has some confidence in reciting and composing poems, this riddle will not, but Luo Yan collected a book of "Ancient and Modern Lantern Riddles" from the system, and read it many times directly in his mind.
Luo Yan really didn't believe it, with such confidence, he wouldn't be able to pass these three levels.
What really interested Luo Yan was actually the first meeting with Li Shimin.
Liu Qingyu Luo Yan is naturally looking forward to it, but now Luo Yan is just unrequited love, and before Liu Qingyu's identity has not changed, Luo Yan has no way to stay with her. The only one who can help Luo Yan pursue Liu Qingyu is Li Shimin.
As the thigh that he wants to hug in the future, Luo Yan's choice of Li Shimin naturally has his considerations.
First of all, it is undoubtedly because of the tasks of the system. The task clearly requires to help Li Shimin win the Xuanwumen Change, and then become one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. This forcible assignment system does not mean that Luo Yan is changing the general trend of history. Then taking refuge in Li Jiancheng is delusional.
The second is Luo Yan's admiration and understanding of Li Shimin. With the "Book of Tang", Luo Yan thinks that he still has some understanding of Li Shimin, so he will be prepared to do things for him in the future. Then Luo Yan also wanted to see how good the rule of Zhenguan, who had been passed down through the ages, was.
So Luo Yan can't wait to see what Li Shimin looks like.
It's ridiculous to say that it has been almost half a year since I came to the Tang Dynasty, and I have become an official at a young age. But neither the emperor nor the prince had ever been seen. Until now, the biggest official Luo Yan has ever seen is probably the filial grandson of the ancestor of Lang Zhongzu in the Ministry of Officials.
For Li Shimin's arrival, Luo Yan is extremely looking forward to it.
