Chang'an is the ancient name of Xi'an, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there were thirteen dynasties and regimes built in Chang'an, a total of 1077 years, the earliest time in Chinese history, the longest duration, the ancient capital with the most dynasties, is the most influential capital in Chinese history, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, is also the first city with a population of one million in history.

The emperor's envoy, the prestige, where the carriage passed, there was a post station in front of the post envoy to open the road, there were soldiers before and after, whether it was officials or ordinary people, they had to stand aside to make way, so the road was unimpeded, after seven days and seven nights of day and night, finally, the prosperous Chang'an in my heart was getting closer and closer.

"Woohoo"

At dawn this day, Liu Yuan, who was resting in the carriage, was suddenly woken up by a strange sound, woke up and listened carefully, it turned out to be the excitement of the royal forest sergeant who accompanied the guard, Liu Yuan had a thrill in his heart, and suddenly pulled the window together, and finally, a tall and majestic city wall appeared in Liu Yuan's eyes from afar, and under the shroud of the golden morning glow, it looked so dazzling and sacred

No wonder the accompanying Royal Forest Sergeant was so excited, it turned out that they were finally about to return to Chang'an, they no longer had to run around day and night, they could make errands, they could go home, they didn't have to sleep in the open air, and they were worried day and night.

Liu Yuan was also a little excited, looking at the tall city wall, and secretly called out in his heart: Chang'an in my dream, I, am here.

At this moment, in the Daxing City (Imperial Palace) of Chang'an City, Li Er, the current son of Li Er, who is diligent in government and loves the people, is discussing with the ministers.

The Tang Dynasty is divided into ten provinces and 360 states, with a population of tens of millions, coupled with the severe border situation, all walks of life are in ruins, although he is the king of a country, but Tang Taizong Li Shimin is very strict with himself. Every day before dawn, under the grooming of the palace maids, he bathed and changed his clothes and went to court, discussed various important matters with the important ministers around him, and one after another reported from all over the country, and after Li Er's approval, he issued a policy order to all directions.

Chang'an is the heartland of Datang, and it is also the economic, cultural and administrative center of Datang.

Sitting high on the dragon chair, looking at the courtiers who bowed their heads one by one, humble and polite. Li Er has an indescribable sense of satisfaction and superiority in his heart, not so much that he is diligent in government and loves the people, but that he is attached to this supreme power, and for this power, he even bears the eternal infamy of killing his brother and killing his brother. Eight years, almost eight years. Li Er is not a little tired of this supreme power.

"What else do you Aiqing have to do?" Li Er sat on the dragon seat. He asked with a smile on his face.

What he meant by this sentence was that if there was nothing to do, then today's court discussion would end here, disperse the dynasty, and return to each family.

Look at me, people. I look at you, and they both shake their heads, and they discuss politics before dawn, and more than an hour passes. If there is nothing important, it is better to leave the court early, the court is just one of the things, and you will have to go back to your post to work in a while, like what is discussed from morning to night, that is a very important event, opinions are not in agreement, this is possible to be unable to retreat from the court very late.

Besides, this Li Er is stingy, if it is late, although he still manages the meal at noon, but the meal is eaten in the outline, which is a little rough and uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do." Just when everyone thought that the court meeting had ended smoothly today, a Wenchen stood in the front and walked out, holding a court (cháo) wat and respectfully asking Li Er for instructions.

Seeing that he could successfully retreat from the court, everyone present didn't have to stand so tired, and suddenly another person ran out and said that he had something to play, isn't this a resentment? Especially those old ministers, their hearts were even more displeased, but everyone glanced at the person who played the game, and soon looked at their noses and noses, and calmed down, and no one dared to complain a little.

"Gao Servant, I don't know what you are doing?" Rao is Li Er saw this person clearly, and he had to be treated politely.

It's very simple, the person who played this is Gao Shilian.

Gao Shilian, his background is very noble, is the grandson of Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the son of Gao Mao, he was born in the family of the eunuch, his sister is the wife of the Sui right Xiaowei general Changsun Sheng, gave birth to a son and a daughter, the son is the eldest grandson Wuji, and the daughter is the eldest grandson. After the death of his brother-in-law Sun Sheng, Gao Shilian took his sister and nephew to his own home to raise them, and he was very kind. Gao Shilian saw that Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin was outstanding, so he married his niece Changsun Xu to him, which was the later Empress Changsun, in addition, in the Xuanwumen Change, he also participated in the planning, and he loved it very much.

can almost be called Li Er's "father-in-law", the noble eldest grandson empress, the eldest grandson Wuji, who is a very popular minister, seeing him also respectfully called "uncle", plus his son and son-in-law are also high-ranking officials, so his status is very special.

Gao Shilian did not hold the favor, and still said respectfully: "Returning to the emperor is not a serious matter, but the old minister found an interesting thing, so he temporarily made up his mind and wanted to tell the emperor." ”

"Tall servant, please speak up." Li Er still said with a smile.

"The last time the old minister was a friend of the province, when he passed through Yangzhou, he bought a very interesting book on the way, and asked the emperor to read it?" Gao Shilian took out a book from his arms and raised his hands respectfully.

"Oh, there is this? Someone is coming, and it is presented quickly. Li Er suddenly became interested, and it must be interesting to let this high-ranking servant with high morality shoot interesting books.

Hearing this, he gave the eunuch on the side a look, and soon, the book in Gao Shilian's hand was held on a gold plate and sent to Li Er.

The Book of Poetry?

Li Er was full of expectations for what kind of book, but he didn't expect to be stunned when he saw the cover, although the cover is a little exquisite, but the title of the book is too familiar, it is the "Book of Songs" in the Four Books and Five Classics, it is not an exaggeration to say, at most three times, you can recite the whole book, to put it mildly, this can be said to be a book for children to read and break, enlightenment, what is so special about this?

But looking at Gao Shilian's appearance, it doesn't seem like he's joking, Li Er hesitated, and then turned the book, but he didn't expect to turn it over, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to the spirit, and the courtiers in the hall saw it, only to see Li Er accept the excited look just now, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression became serious, turning the pages of those books page by page.

Many people in the hall looked a little solemn. There is no trivial matter in the court, no matter what it is, once it is operated properly, it is a sharp weapon in his hand, how can this Gao Shilian send a book up, Li Er's face changed, could it be a book that attacks political opponents?

Led by the scholars, such as Cui Shang, the household servant of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and Wang Qian, the imperial historian of the Taiyuan Wang clan, and others looked at each other and looked at each other secretly. Do you think that royalists like Gao Shilian are taking the opportunity to make trouble again and are ready to suppress the strength of the Shi clan?

Even the eldest grandson Wuji on the side couldn't help but look at Gao Shilian, thinking in his heart. What is my uncle going to do, why don't you tell yourself? I want to make eye contact with my uncle. Unexpectedly. After Gao Shilian handed it over, he looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, and he didn't notice it at all.

Li Er ignored the reaction of the audience, quickly finished the book, and then closed his eyes. As if thinking about something.

In the middle of the ring, Li Erhu's eyes widened, and he said with a smile: "Gao Servant Shooting, this book is really interesting." ”

"Your Majesty." Gao Shilian saluted. He stood back in his own ranks.

"Go, show this book to all the secretaries present, I want to listen to the opinions of the listeners." Li Er waved his hand and asked the eunuch on the side to hand over the book presented by Gao Shilian to the ministers present.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch on the side hurriedly responded, held the book, and did not hesitate to bring it to the eldest grandson Wuji and let him read it first.

The eldest grandson Wuji finally saw what was going on, when he looked at the two unusually familiar words on the cover, the expression was the same as Li Eryi's list just now, he turned the first page, frowned, and read softly: "Comma, full stop, pause, question mark"

If Liu Yuan was here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance, this Book of Poetry is the one from his Moyun study, which is very controversial as soon as it comes out, with punctuation marks and annotations, but he didn't expect to be brought back here by Gao Shilian who passed through Yangzhou.

"Fang Xiang, you can take a look." The eldest grandson Wuji quickly read a few pages, then handed the "Book of Songs" to Fang Xuanling on the side, and asked him to follow along.

People with prominent status will hand over to the people on the side after a few turns, and those with low grades are several people who gather around to watch together, whispering from time to time, and Li Er, who is high up, saw it and did not reprimand him out loud, even Wei Zheng, who was usually the most important dynasty, turned a blind eye to these things at this time, but thought about something thoughtfully.

In normal times, I would have repelled each other a long time ago.

About two and a quarter of an hour later, the "Book of Songs" was passed down among the ministers of civil and military affairs, and then returned to Li Er's imperial case.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder what you think of this book?" Li Er glanced at the immovable mountain Gao Shilian below a little depressedly, and then asked in a loud voice.

This old guy, if there is anything, throw it to himself, and then hide to the side, and come to a "it's none of his business, hang it high", that is, he, Li Ercai endured it, if it was someone else, maybe let Jin Zhiwu beat him out.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." As soon as Li Er's voice fell, Cui Shang immediately walked out of the standing ranks and shouted loudly.

"Cui Aiqing, what do you think?" Li Er asked pleasantly.

Cui Shang made a salute, took out a notebook, and said loudly: "What the servant shot said, it is also what Wechen wants to play, in fact, as early as three months ago, Wechen received a report from Yangzhou Thorn History, saying that there is a strange person in Yangzhou, in addition to being kind and charitable, printing books at his own expense and selling them to scholars at a very low price, he has created a set of engineering that is conducive to studying and teaching books, called punctuation, which can be used as a sharp weapon for studying poetry and books, because it is not considered official business, so he asked Weichen to refer to it on his behalf, Wechen has been hesitant, and now I hear that even Gao Fushi has noticed, I also took out the recital book that I had written in the morning. ”

A few months ago, Cui Shang received a letter from his nephew who was a stabbing scholar in Yangzhou, and he had been hesitant in his heart, but now he saw Gao Shilian speak about this matter, and realized that this was the last opportunity, so he took the opportunity to take out the recital that had been prepared in the morning.

If this matter is done, his son and nephew can be regarded as having meritorious education, and Liu Yuan, who is recommended well and is about to become his niece and son-in-law, can also benefit a lot; If there is anything wrong, there is Gao Shilian's old immortal as a shield, Cui Shang's trick is very clever.

After the eunuch picked it up, Li Er said casually while flipping through the book: "Say, in my Tang Yangzhou, there are still such strange people?" What is the last name? ”

"Liu Yuan" Cui Shang immediately responded.

What the? Yangzhou Liu Yuan?

The faces of Li Er and several important ministers in the court also changed. (To be continued.) )
