Chapter 102: Fame and Fortune
Next.
The snow stopped suddenly, the bright sun illuminated the palace brightly, and a palace maiden walked briskly towards the south study.
The girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, born with bright eyes and bright teeth, youthful and beautiful, especially a pair of big watery eyes, like two dazzling pearls, fluttering, as if she could speak.
"The slave has seen Princess Qixia!"
She was like a happy spirit, soaring freely in the deep palace, and when the eunuchs and palace maids saw her, they hurriedly bowed to her.
"Get up, it's cold on the ground."
The girl smiled, like a spring breeze, and when she turned around, her slender figure fluttered by, and she was gone.
This day is not a big court meeting, the emperor in the south study early in the morning to review the folds, but I don't know who made the emperor unhappy, not only the two elders who sent the cabinet tickets were scolded, even the prince who routinely greeted him was also scolded.
When Princess Qixia came to the south study, the two small yellow doors were holding a broken porcelain cup, and they withdrew from it with a sad face, and when they saw her, they smiled bitterly.
"The slave has seen the princess, you are finally here, and the saint is angry?"
"What's going on?"
Princess Qixia brushed the green silk and asked curiously.
The little yellow door shook his head: "The slave doesn't know, you can go in and take a look, maybe the saint will be angry when he sees you." ”
Princess Qixia nodded at the little yellow door, hesitated slightly, and pushed open the door of the south study.
"Didn't you say don't bother me? How to ......"
As soon as he heard the sound of the door opening, Emperor Hongwei was furious, but when he looked up and saw that it was Princess Qixia who came in, he suddenly lost his anger.
"Qingwu is here? Come over and let me see, I heard that you've been crazy these days, you're all big girls, why are you still so naughty? ”
In front of Princess Qixia, the mighty Emperor Hongwei seemed to have turned into an ordinary father, beckoning to her lovingly.
Princess Qixia grimaced at him, slowly walked to his side and said, "What is my father angry about, he is angry." ”
Hearing her mention this, a haze suddenly flashed on the emperor's face, and he snorted coldly: "Everyone wants good things, but if I don't give them, no one can think about them, but some people don't open their eyes, and Guan Zhen stretches out his hand to ask for things." ”
"Oh, who's so bold?"
Princess Qixia looked at the table with a smile, and saw an open fold full of beautiful fly-headed letters, which probably meant that she wanted to ask the emperor to make the decision and promise a person named Xu Rui to her daughter.
She turned her gaze, and then saw that there were still a few letters on the ground that were torn to shreds, and there was also a faint word Xu Rui on them.
Princess Qixia knew it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Could it be that my father planted a piece of land for himself, and before it bears fruit, he will be remembered, right?" ”
Emperor Hongwei was stunned for a moment, gently patted Princess Qixia's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Little girl's family, who did you learn these things from all day long." ”
The emperor's strength is not weak, Princess Qixia was in pain, rubbed her buttocks, and pouted: "Is that daughter right?" ”
The emperor snorted coldly and said: "It means this, the people I fancy are useless to themselves, they see some signs, and they want to pull them to their own house, hum, it's really a good calculation!" ”
Princess Qixia smiled: "In this case, why didn't my father invite this person into the palace and turn his face over?" As long as he doesn't let go, who can forcibly arrest him? ”
The emperor waved his hand and said: "You don't understand, this person is very special, even if I really invite him in, he may not be obedient, this is like boiling an eagle, you have to slowly grind off his sharpness, and it will be easy to use." ”
Princess Qixia was stunned: "This person is so powerful that he doesn't even listen to his father's words?" ”
The emperor said angrily: "Are there still few disobedient people? Why are you obedient? ”
Princess Qixia stuck out her tongue mischievously, and was about to say another when the door of the south study was suddenly opened, and Wang Shun hurriedly walked in.
Seeing Wang Shun, the emperor said curiously: "You came back so soon, has the errand been done?" ”
Wang Shun knelt down with a "poof", buckled his head and said, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the slave maid did not go to the Changxing Dojo." ”
The emperor frowned and asked, "But why?" ”
Wang Shun said: "The slave maid just left the palace and received a report from Dongchang, and Mr. Dongli went to Guozijian to give a lecture early this morning. ”
"What?!"
The emperor exclaimed: "The master has not lectured for ten years, why did he suddenly go to the Guozijian today?" ”
Wang Shun said: "Mr. Dongli has been trapped by the bottleneck before, yesterday was Xu Rui dialed, suddenly had an epiphany, wrote the general outline of the "Great Rites" of the sixth classic of Confucianism overnight, and today I went to explain this outline to the students. ”
"What? Bring it to you! ”
Emperor Hongwei suddenly got up and walked out from behind the dragon case.
Wang Shun hurriedly held a thin booklet above his head, and before he could present it to the emperor, the emperor rushed up with an arrow and couldn't wait to snatch it.
He looked intently at the thin booklet, but he had finished it in just one stick of incense, but the contents of it shocked him so much that he could not calm down for a long time.
After a whole cup of tea, he carefully put the booklet on top of the dragon case, and sighed: "Master has finally become one of the sages, and I have benefited a lot from just a general outline.
With this Sixth Classic of Confucianism, still the world's scholars are still eager for my Great Wei? If I am full of talents, why worry about the world and refuse to return to my heart! ”
Emperor Hongwei was excited, but when he saw Wang Shun kneeling on the ground, he stopped talking, his expression was uneasy, he realized that there was probably something to be said, so he asked, "What else makes you so embarrassed?" ”
Wang Shun said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Dongli mentioned it when he gave a lecture in Guozijian...... Mention ......"
Seeing him slurping, the emperor suddenly said impatiently: "What do you mention, you said." ”
Wang Shun swallowed and foamed, and said stubbornly: "Mr. Dongli mentioned that the core ideas in this "Great Rites" "Heart is reason" and "the unity of heaven and man" are from Xu Rui, but they were absorbed and developed by his old man, and only then did he have the later "Great Rites".
He also said that Xu Rui is well-versed in hundreds of schools, especially good at yin and yang, open-minded, long-term, and has the image of a saint at a young age, even before he is forty years old, he is indeed a model for scholars in the world.
Now Xu Rui has become famous, and all the scholars in the world are proud to be lucky enough to see him, and the Liu Mansion where he temporarily lives has been surrounded as soon as the lecture of Guozijian has been dispersed, and the slave maid estimates that General Liu will probably have a home tonight. ”
"What?!"
Wang Shun finished his words in one breath, and his heart was much more refreshed, but Emperor Hongwei was petrified on the spot, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't say a word.
Seeing that the emperor did not react, Wang Shun secretly sighed and slowly withdrew from the south study, not that he deliberately threw the problem to the emperor, but when Princess Qixia was there, the emperor never had to be accompanied by others.
I don't know how long it took for Emperor Hongwei to wake up a little from his consternation, and he sat on the dragon chair with a wry smile.
Princess Qixia pursed her lips and said angrily: "Why is this Xu Rui again?" ”
The emperor rubbed his sore temples and said with emotion: "This kid is really a troublemaker who doesn't do his job......"
Princess Qixia was puzzled: "Father, since this person is talented, shouldn't it be the luck of Da Wei, why are you so embarrassed?" ”
The emperor said: "You don't know, this person is out of the woods, not easy to control, originally my father wanted to dry him, let him feel the suffering of the world, but I didn't expect him to make such a big noise by mistake, if I blindly suppress it again, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating, this kid, it will really give me a problem." ”
Princess Qixia rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Does my father want to suppress him and not let him feel resentful?" ”
The emperor was noncommittal.
Princess Qixia smiled: "What's so difficult about this, it's just to deal with a nerd, Qingwu has an idea, isn't Daxing City unsafe now, it's better to let him go to patrol the city." ”
The emperor was stunned: "What is this idea?" ”
Princess Qixia smiled slyly, leaned into the emperor's ear and whispered a few words, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised loudly: "Wonderful! In this way, can he still jump to the sky? ”
After being praised by her father, Princess Qixia was overjoyed and was about to make a coquettish affair with him, but when she saw the emperor looking at her with a smile and shook her head.
"Qingwu, your idea is a good idea, but you are wrong about this person, he is not a nerd."
"Oh? What can make the master so praised, isn't it a nerd? ”
Seeing that Princess Qixia was unimpressed, the emperor took out a note from a book and handed it to her.
"This is presented by Xiao Jinwu, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, and I know that you like these, so I specially kept them for you to see."
"What do I like?"
Princess Qixia took the note and opened it to take a look, only to see a few lines written on the note.
Chen Xiao entered the martial arts to present the holy royal view, and Xu Rui couldn't help but write a lyric after breaking the black flag and rhino horn.
Seeing that it was a poem, Princess Qixia was immediately interested, but when she looked at the word card again, she pouted again.
"Linjiang Immortal? What a quirky word board......"
However, Princess Qixia looked down with watery eyes, and after only a few words, she was suddenly shocked, and a blush of surprise appeared on her face.
Just when Xu Rui was making a sensation in Daxing City, there was a small shop in the mountain col fifty miles away, which was not located in front of the village or behind the store, which was specially designed to provide meals and accommodation for guests traveling far away.
It's a harsh winter, and few people choose to go out at this time, and the small shop has become a little deserted.
The old shopkeeper was napping on the account table, while the man in his thirties carefully wiped the kitchen knife in his hand.
Suddenly, there were two slight "knock" sounds on the beam, and the old shopkeeper and the man suddenly looked up, but they didn't see anything.
The figure was dressed in black, with a mask on his face and a three-foot sword in his hand.
As soon as they saw his appearance, the shopkeeper and the man hurriedly lowered their voices, hugged their fists and said, "Subordinates see the Dharma Protector!" ”
"How prepared is the Holy Spirit?"
The figure nodded, and a strange dry cry came out of his throat, vaguely distinguishing what seemed to be a human sentence.
The shopkeeper was puzzled: "Qi Qi Protector, the court has been investigating too strictly in the past few days, and the number of Holy Spirits has not been gathered, please give me a few more days." ”
The figure said: "It's not that I'm embarrassed with you, it's very tight above, and if this batch of Holy Spirits is not handed over, none of us can explain it." ”
As he was talking, the figure suddenly shook his whole body and said in a deep voice: "Someone is coming, you go to do things first." ”
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
The two of them were shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly looked towards the door of the small shop, only to see that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy walked in with a baggage.
The boy rushed all the way to Daxing City to leave.
As soon as he entered the shop, he found the best place to sit down, put the burden in his hand on the table, and the burden slammed on the table, which seemed to be quite heavy.
"The shopkeeper, your stomach is hungry, just bring up good wine and food!"
Leave the hammer on the table and shout loudly.
The shopkeeper is also an old man, squinting his eyes and looking at it slightly, he saw that he was young, neither armed nor accompanied, and he was slightly relieved.
He quietly glanced at the fellow, who immediately put on a smiling face and walked up enthusiastically.
