In fact, for the summons of the Son of Heaven, the party Li You was very unhappy. He had just entered the center of the imperial court, and it was the time of excitement, and his smug energy had not yet gone down, and his thoughts were even more imaginative. At this moment, I was in no mood to grovel to the emperor who was high above.

However, Master Li had no qualifications to refuse, so he could only suppress his upturned emotions, and walked out of the cabinet under the gaze of countless eyes behind him.

Only turned a corner and arrived at the Wenhua Hall in the north of the cabinet, only to see dozens of armed guards and internal supervisors standing under the eaves and in front of the stairs outside the hall, and they were heavily guarded.

Li You was blocked out of the ten zhang, and the inner prison sent an edict to go first to reply to the edict, and after a while, he came out again and passed the edict, calling Li You to meet him.

Master Li stepped into the hall, and when he entered the door, he didn't dare to look around, only lowered his head and secretly paid attention to the front.

However, it was a book case that blocked the way... And who is Zhu Bulang who stands behind the book case like a storyteller?

Li You frowned slightly, and saw Zhu Bulang stretching out his finger in his big sleeve to gestur, Li You understood and bypassed the bookcase and continued to move forward.

Not far from Zhu Bulang's bookcase, under the left and right guards of the Jinyi Wei Han General holding a golden gourd, it is a half-couch-style throne, and there is a bright yellow-robed figure on the throne, which must be today's son.

How can Li You have the kung fu to see the appearance of the Son of Heaven clearly, first do enough the etiquette of one bow and three knocks, and those who are ministers must not lose their manners before entering the inner court.

At the same time as kowtowing, Master Li swept the surroundings a few times with the corner of his eye, and it could be seen from the color of the hem that there were about five or six high-ranking officials in scarlet clothes standing on both sides, and it was estimated that they were the bigwigs who came to serve and speak.

"Flat." Chrysostom Yu's voice was very clear, and he asked, "How is Lin Daiyu doing?" ”

Li You just got up, but he was almost unstable by the Son of Heaven's question for some reason, and looked up at His Majesty dumbfounded.

On the way here, he had imagined countless possibilities in a short period of time, but he definitely didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would ask this unintelligible thing in front of him.

The princes in the hall were facing each other, and they were all puzzled, who is this Lin Daiyu?

Of course, Li You knows that Lin Daiyu is the heroine of the Dream of Red Mansions in her previous life, although there is no Dream of Red Mansions in this life, but after listening to him tell a few stories about Red Mansions, Li Huan created a book of "Daiyu Viewing the Garden". It can be said to be the first anti-traditional female surname Xiang Jiacai novel in this dynasty, and it has created a serialization mode.

This book is very popular among the Jiangnan ladies, and almost everyone has a volume. There is a momentum of punching "The Peony Pavilion" and kicking "The Legend of the West Chamber". Although the value is a few streets worse than those two books, it is more refreshing to be king... The problem is that Jiangnan is two or three thousand miles away from Beijing, and the isolation between the inside and outside of the palace is more like a moat, and the probability that the Son of Heaven can see this book is infinitely close to zero, but he has seen it before? Li You was puzzled.

And the meaning of the Son of Heaven is to ask about the later plot, and Li You can't answer. He also read the beginning of the book, and he was interested in continuing to pay attention to it later, let alone the latest chapters.

Fortunately, the uncles and uncles who talked about it didn't know what Lin Daiyu was, and they thought that His Majesty would ask about the current situation of a certain courtier, otherwise they would have to admonish him.

It turns out that the topic is not history, and Mr. Zhu Fanghe, a member of the Ministry of Rites, is the way to speak. Therefore, the atmosphere was more relaxed, and when it happened to talk about people's talents, there was a small disagreement among the people in the temple. Some people think that "three points of innocence, seven points of diligence", and some people think that "seven points of nature, three points of diligence".

Compared with military affairs, this kind of controversy can indeed only be regarded as a small disagreement, so the Son of Heaven asked the speaker Zhu Bulang's opinion.

Zhu Bulang said: "In the past, I thought that diligent study was the right way, but recently I met Li You in Jiangnan, and I believed that there are indeed talented people in the world. ”

Speaking of Li You's talent, it's okay if you don't know him, the more people who are familiar with him, the more unpredictable they feel. A person who has studied in a school for a few years just to be on an errand in the public gate, he can't memorize all the four books and five classics, but he can open his mouth into poems and close his mouth to speak, in addition, he knows almost everything about the customs and customs of the four seas and five continents, how can he not make others feel a little mysterious.

Fortunately, feudal superstitious ideas and legends have been quite popular in recent years, and everyone is not surprised, but it is the favor of Lord Li, and there are still remnants of Huigen in the past and future lives. Actually, this explanation is very close to the truth... When the Son of Heaven heard his distant royal brother talk about Li You, he remembered an interesting and funny book he found in the palace, so he asked again: "Is there only one celebrity in Jiangnan who calls Li You?" What is your current job? ”

Lord Xu, who was also present, replied: "Recently, it has been said that the new election is a scholar in the house. ”

The Son of Heaven ordered the inner supervisor to go to the Imperial Room to inspect, and if Li You had already taken office, he would summon him to see him, but he never thought of coming up and asked Lin Daiyu.

His Majesty the Emperor is a young man, fifteen or sixteen years old, but he also has clear eyebrows, white teeth, white lips, and red lips, and it is not easy for other Li You to look closely.

Probably the Son of Heaven also realized that his words were a little abrupt, so he changed his words and said: "I heard that you are outstanding in poetry, are you born?" Or is it diligent and diligent? ”

Li You hurriedly replied: "Most of them are born, but they have been blinded and ignorant since childhood. But since Jinghe and the first year later, his spiritual understanding has gradually opened, and he has realized from time to time. ”

He wanted to talk about hard study, but after a few days of studying since he was a child, he knew that it was too deceitful to say that diligent study and hard cultivation were too deceitful, and it was better to make up a talented genius. Besides, this dynasty has always been very tolerant of prodigies, and it is good to take advantage of it. If it were replaced by other dynasties, Li You might not dare to boast of his genius so much in front of the emperor.

The emperor smiled: "What a natural one. I'll give it a try, and you'll do it on the spot. Listen carefully, the title is spring boudoir. ”

Li You couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was worried that His Majesty would make a digression, and he didn't want it to be so easy. There are too many poems with the theme of spring boudoirs and resentments, and there are various styles, and a few good ones will pop up in my heart when I think about it.

But he vaguely felt that His Majesty's taste didn't seem to be right, and it was Lin Daiyu and a spring boudoir, which was a bit inconsistent with the emperor's identity.

But it's none of his business's business what His Majesty tastes, he just needs to show off his talents, so it's time to witness the miracle again... He wanted to copy a poem hundreds of words long, which completely shocked the princes in the palace.

Master Li stood still, as if he could become a poem without moving, and was about to speak, when he heard a gentle cough from the left, interrupting Li You's brewing rhythm.

There was actually someone who lost his honor in front of the king, Li You secretly glanced at it, but saw the old man Zhao Liangren of the Imperial History of the Left Capital staring at him.

Not to mention that Li You is often praised for his surname Gao. was glared at like this, and immediately blessed the heart, and instantly launched the face-changing skill.

I saw Master Li bow and say: "Your Majesty sits on the great treasure, although the sea is peaceful, you should always think about the difficulties of your ancestors in entrepreneurship and be diligent in the history of the scriptures, or you can cultivate yourself or learn from the present." Therefore, it is right to sit with the gentlemen in the palace and talk about the avenue, and it is right to indulge in the sound and affection of the small road, entertaining others and entertaining yourself! This is the palace of Wenhua, this is the time to speak, the minister does not dare to respond to the edict, please Your Majesty to withdraw the will! ”

Quite a virtuous and upright minister... Because Li You suddenly woke up just now, his current position is different. The displacement is easy, and some of the soil turtle practices at the grassroots level cannot be copied rigidly.

The emperor is in the solemn class time, and it is just a matter of coming up with a topic of family and country, and you are also going to join in the fun with a spring boudoir topic, do you want to be faced? In the previous dynasty, there was a prime minister with green words, could it be that the dynasty produced a spring boudoir?

There are poems and clouds, pitiful in the middle of the night, and don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods.

Hearing Lord Li's inexplicable and familiar cocooned advice, the young Tianzi's excited face suddenly drooped, and he snorted coldly: "Disappointing! ”

Then the Son of Heaven got up and waved his sleeves towards the apse, and the guards and inner supervisors hurriedly followed.

Li You is still reminiscing about his wonderful speech, how does the Italian silver note official record his loyalty and direct advice... I only heard a loud sound, but when I raised my eyes, I found that the young son of heaven had turned around and came back, and pointed at a certain virtuous person angrily: "What Li You said is extremely true, and I understand it in my heart." I look at Li You with outstanding appearance, loud voice, can be seen, and in the future, after the feast, Li You will be the reading officer! ”

Is this also called a reward? Master Li was bitter at the time... But the grace of the Son of Heaven still has to bow down and thank you.

To be able to occupy a place in the royal feast is definitely an honor from the perspective of Shilin's prestige. You can take a look at who are in this list, there are university scholars, there are ministries and nine kings, there are princes and nobles, there are Hanlin Qingliu, and there are Taiyuan Kedao.

It seems to be a nice errand, eh... Why is Master Li still complaining? First of all, he has no interest in the scriptures at all, and he feels very boring and unbearable, how can he have the heart to waste time in the Four Books and Five Classics. Secondly, this reading officer duty is a bit annoying.

There is also a lot of division of roles in the scriptures. There are lecturers who are responsible for coordinating the knowledge of the scriptures, lecturers who are responsible for lecturing, bookkeepers who are responsible for turning books, and most of the others are so-called attendants who are observing.

It is customary for a certain part of a lecture to be recited four or five times before the lecturer begins to lecture. Probably the reading officer is this errand in charge of reading, and it is generally a part-time job for the lecturer himself, and it is very convenient to read and speak by himself.

But the Son of Heaven ordered Li You to be a reading official, to put it bluntly, he was a human flesh repeater.

It is conceivable that it doesn't matter if the other old gods in the main hall are there, and it seems that napping in a good position is okay, but can the reading officer?

The reader must listen attentively, and once it is time for a new paragraph or chapter, he must appear in time and recite it several times to everyone, and there is no room for error.

It's tongue-consuming and exhausting, and it's a very boring content for Master Li, how can you feel good?

The point is that Li You has not yet benefited. Qingliu Cilin has been talking about it for two years, and it has become a kind of qualification, what is the use of this kind of qualification for Li You, a miscellaneous scholar who is not from the imperial examination?

But on the surface, the Son of Heaven is a humble reward for Li You, and Lord Li has to be grateful to Xie En for staging a drama of getting along with the monarch and the minister... Li You cautiously estimated in his heart that even if he recited until his mouth was dry, His Majesty the Emperor would not give tea.

Among the scarlet-clothed ministers on the left and right, an old man walked out and said to the Son of Heaven: "Since there are words of admiration and observation, in the future, the court and cabinet chapters can be read by Lord Li." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and said, "Good, upright and virtuous, how can it be hidden in the bag." ”

At the court meeting, there is an errand called reading the official on behalf of the official who reads the song, for example, the song that the magistrate comes up must read on his behalf. Most of the officials who read this book are selected by the Department of General Affairs with tall stature, loud voices, and dignified appearances. The chapters to be played by the cabinet are basically not original by themselves, and it is understandable to send Li You, a scholar from the middle school, to read them on his behalf.

Li You, who became a loyal minister once, wanted to cry without tears, and he really asked for his own hardship. The early dynasty was recognized as very hard, getting up with the stars, entering the palace with the moon, hot in summer and cold in winter, and the etiquette was serious and not to be ignored. It's impossible to skip work secretly.

Winter is coming soon, and when I think of how stupid I was at six or seven o'clock in the morning, in front of thousands of groggy people, I thought of how stupid I was when I read the recital in front of thousands of groggy people.
