Chapter 22: The Truth
The dragon incense was burning in the Qianyuan Palace, and the cold crisp went in, and Liuming'er was waiting in the side hall, helping to do some sprinkling and sweeping work.
Han Su slowly entered, lowered his eyebrows and kowtowed: "Weichen see Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan'an." After the salute, I noticed a woman next to me, with black hair in red clothes, a little gold leaf between her eyebrows, and a flower of red peony. The long eyebrows are in the sideburns, not beautiful and dark, but there is a little eyebrow peak that is very exciting. The lips are like peach hearts, plump and lovely. A pair of eyes are full of style, wearing a three-grade hair crown, hanging a little red tourmaline, the bun is dotted with pearls, and a few bright roses in the sand.
didn't show half of her skin, but she could feel her charm and nature even through her clothes. There is a concubine bracelet on her wrist, but it is a rare black jade. The fingers are like shallots, and the bones are distinct. A ring with a little hibiscus stone on the ring finger complements the pink color of the flower on the nails.
If you look closely, the red Kezi is not red, but orange-red, and the outer coat is edged with a little Persian original golden yarn, and the acacia pattern is weaved. The sideburns trim the forehead very round, the chin is slightly plump, the skin is like congealed fat, and it is very white without fat powder.
Cheng Shan, the third-class palace supervisor, quietly reminded her: "Girl, hurry up and meet Chongrong Niangniang." ”
Han Su came back to his senses from the man's beauty, bowed and said: "Weichen has seen Chongrong Niangniang, Niangniang is blessed." ”
Wang Chongrong nodded, signaling that she didn't need to be polite.
The emperor raised his head, motioned for her to stroke the qin, and beckoned to Han Su again: "Come here, I have something to ask you." ”
Han Shu walked away, walked to the side of the desk, and sharpened the ink for him. I saw a few lines written on the table, "If you can't do it, you can ask for yourself, and you will make a daily payment, and you will not donate it." ”
Han Shu asked, "Your Majesty wrote these words to warn the people in the palace?" Or the ministers. ”
The emperor picked up the paper and said, "I have decided on the topic of next year's imperial examination. ”
"There is no end to the daily offering, and the contribution will eventually enter the sea. Naturally, it is good, but if you can't do it, is it not appropriate to ask for yourself? Whether it is in the imperial city or in the court, it has never been a group of wise people. Isn't it true that the people below are not in high positions, and they also have to find their own reasons? "Cold.
The emperor put down his pen and listened to a song played by Wang Chongrong, which was very intentional. So he explained to her: "The people selected for the imperial examination since ancient times are all in the lower places, starting from small things, and only those who can experience can have a high place." But the people who read the world are bitter and cold. The face and lining of the official are not worthy, and there are temptations everywhere. Even those who are bent on guarding some sages will inevitably be stumped. If they want to be more down-to-earth and stay up slowly, only they can understand it themselves. ”
Han Shu nodded and said, "Although the heart is free, it is more as it believes." If you study it thoroughly, it will naturally be of his help. However, there is no guarantee that this test question will not be known. Your Majesty is so relieved? ”
The emperor glanced at the people around him and said, "Those who know what it is, they should also know why it is." Once you know what's important, it's also good to learn it thoroughly. The girl just asked if the mistake of others was her own fault? ”
Han Shu lowered his eyebrows and said, "I don't think it's my fault." ”
"When you are young, you don't understand that many things need to be experienced, and you can't do anything for the sake of it, and you practice forbearance. For those who are ineffective, they should reflect on whether they are using people inappropriately. If you don't do things without surprise and neatness, you are naturally not a talent that matters. To be able to experience it, it is to be able to exist in a roundabout way in any situation, and have its own way with twists and turns, and not be proud of high places. ”
Han Shu nodded and said, "Maybe what Your Majesty said is that Weichen really doesn't believe it." ”
The emperor added: "Not only these officials and students, but also these members of the royal family who have been blessed and blessed by the Lord. Haven't everything been smooth since childhood? There are many places of difficulty in sight. However, it has been difficult to find only one acre and three points of land, and it is inevitable that it will only look at a few benefits. ”
Han Shu nodded, although he disagreed with it in his heart, it was not good to go against the emperor's thoughts. So he said: "This kind of truth is the truth, Weichen is timid, but he is not willing to be tempered like this." ”
At one time, the palace people came to report: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince asks to see you." ”
For a while, the eunuch went out to issue an edict, but Han Su didn't know that the emperor had a seventh son.
