After a sleepless night in the study, Sima Shao heard the sound of footsteps, looked up and asked, "Daughter-in-law?" ”

But seeing Yu Wenjun rubbing his face and pushing open the door, he said with a bit of tiredness on his face: "Your Highness, why didn't you go back to the room to rest last night?" ”

Sima Shao helped Yu Wenjun sit down, and then said, "Because something has delayed, I have unconsciously reached this hour." ”

Yu Wenjun complained: "In the past, no matter how busy Your Highness was, he would come to my side and say a few words, but now he has been sitting in the study all night. ”

Sima Shao said with a smile: "In the past, everything was joyful, and I wanted to share it with you, but today I feel a little pressure, so that I can't sleep at night." ”

"Why is that?"

Sima Shao said: "In the past, when I was still young, I was just a child, even if something happened to the court, it was not me who proposed it, but now it is different, a decision made by the court, and even a sentence is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in the world, so how can I not be cautious." ”

Yu Wenjun quipped: "Your Highness is still just the crown prince, if it is in case you sit in that position, then what?" You can't do the things in the court alone. ”

Sima Shao smiled and said: "What my daughter-in-law said is right, maybe I thought too much, after all, there is still a small family to take care of." ”

Yu Wenjun said: "Since you go to the court every day, you have become busier and thinner, and you have become more and more thin......"

Listening to Yu Wenjun counting himself one by one, Sima Shao knew that he had been too busy recently and neglected his family, so he could only sit aside and finish Yu Wenjun's words.

Yu Wenjun saw that Sima Shao was silent, and he was even more angry and pouted aggrievedly: "Say you're reluctant?" Yes, you are the prince now, and you won't be able to listen to the flattery in the future, and everyone in the officialdom respects you for three points, so I can't listen to my words, right? ”

Sima Shao smiled and said: "You have nothing to do, I told you when I got married, since you are married in this life, you should respect each other like guests in the future, no matter what position I have, I am just your Royal Highness." As long as it's a good wife, I must listen. ”

"Then you mean I'm a bad wife?"

Sima Shao: "??? ”

After a period of appeasement and coaxing Yu Wenjun, Yu Wenjun said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be too tired, rest early." ”

......

Sima Shao and several candidates who had participated in the scientific examination in Guozijian got together again.

One stepped forward with a box in his hand.

The first one said with a smile: "Since I knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned out to be the champion Lang, I have been thinking about how to congratulate the candidates. But I'm ashamed to say that I don't have anything long, and even if I do, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not accept it. ”

At this, everyone laughed.

The man said: "So I waited for a long time to think about it, and then I took a little effort to make this thing and give it to His Royal Highness the Prince, a little bit of heart!" ”

Sima Shao smiled slightly and said, "You are all in your heart, how dare I take it." ”

Everyone smiled and said: "Brother Feng, what kind of gift is it given to His Highness, don't hide it, give us a look!" ”

Immediately, several people opened the gift box, and Sima Shao saw that the box was a scroll of paintings.

A few people spread out the painting, which was more than three feet high, and the painting was very simple.

The top of the lake is shrouded in clouds and mist, the snow-capped Qilian Mountain in the north, over the snow-capped mountain, is a lonely city on the desert, and then to the west, it is Yumen Pass.

The picture scrolls of thousands of miles of frontiers from east to west are vividly and concisely displayed in this picture scroll.

Sima Shao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this picture, this painting was really heartfelt.

When everyone saw this painting, they were amazed, and Sima Shao was also emotional.

The person on the side said: "What a picture of a vast area." ”

"yes."

A few people, you say a word to me, and before you know it, it is already moisturizing things silently.

Looking at this painting, of course, everyone was envious, and Sima Shao could feel that everyone really liked this painting.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to dislike it." The other party will present the painting.

Sima Shao took the painting and said: "It is already an honor for all the candidates to be here today and talk about the old friendship in the next place, and I really don't know what to say, only thank you here, and receive your feelings." ”

Several candidates who donated paintings were overjoyed when they heard this, and one said: "How can there be no poems in this scene at this time, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to write a poem for this painting." ”

"Yes, such a painting can be passed down through the ages."

"Exactly, exactly, we will also listen to it and feast our ears."

Sima Shao smiled slightly when he heard this, today's candidate is really painstaking......

On the side, Lin Feng seemed to be suspected of flattering Sima Shao, but a noble figure like Sima Shao, it is impossible to say that there is no flattery, and today's move also has the elegance of a literati, which is not too much.

Seeing that everyone was invited together, the atmosphere of the gathering of the candidates in the same case also reached its peak, and everyone was waiting for Sima Shao to chant a poem, or leave something to remember at this moment.

In the eyes of everyone, Sima Shao smiled, and then shook his head.

Sima Shao thought of the dean of the Confucian Academy and the fledgling boy who was in front of the dean at that time, and this picture slowly froze in his mind.

Withdrawing from his thoughts, Sima Shao looked at everyone and smiled: "Everyone is a classmate, if it weren't for the appreciation of the examiners, they wouldn't have been able to get a false name at all, thanks to everyone's tolerance." Thinking about it, the only thing that I can praise is the word diligence. ”

After listening to Sima Shao's words, everyone didn't expect him to change his words like this.

But seeing Sima Shao said solemnly: "But the only thing I don't regret so far is the time when I was studying in my own house, which made me understand the principles of the sages and embark on the right path."

After self-cultivation, you can join the family, and the family can be successful, and only then can you govern the country, and only when you govern the country can you level the world. This is a statement that is still believed in today's learning. ”

"And today, thanks to your kindness, so love, and gratitude, I remember that although I have been glorious and rich since I was a child, I have not made any achievements. If we continue to let the years go by and time flies, is it what my generation has done? ”

"So I accept this painting, and thank you for your kindness."

Sima Shao's words, the whole hall was silent, no one thought that after giving the painting, Sima Shao said such a thing.

"Your Highness said it well!"

"This is a true jade word."

I don't know who said a word, and then the hall was full, and everyone cheered again and again, and the applause was thunderous.

On the side, Lin Feng witnessed all this, and after listening to Sima Shao's words, he was a little dazed.

He said in his heart, after studying for so many years, no His Highness could see it clearly.

I often feel unfair, and I often think about cynicism when I study, how I will help the world after I become an official, but after I am really an official, I think about how to be alone, which is really putting the cart before the horse.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng calmed down, and the knot in his heart was unconsciously opened.

In the end, everyone present still took pen and ink and asked Sima Shao to leave the ink and paper.

Sima Shao raised his head and thought about it, and immediately picked up his pen with a wave.

Everyone rushed to read it to see what Sima Shao was writing?

But see it says as follows.

"Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass.

The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and it will not return if it does not break through the northern frontier. ”

The word stopped, and everyone couldn't stop praising it.

Sima Shao raised his glass, everything was silent, the confusion when he first came, the joy of meeting friends, and the ambition of the present were all integrated into this glass of wine, and he drank it with everyone.

Later in the evening, Sima Shao said goodbye to everyone one by one, and many people had red eyes.

Lin Feng said at this time: "Actually, I listened to the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and in addition to admiration, Lin Mou also had something to understand in his heart. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the ambition to help the world, why does he make remarks that he does not want to be on the throne? Outside the court, where else can the country and the world be peaceful? ”

Sima Shao laughed when he heard this: "What Brother Lin said is extremely true, in fact, you are not the only one who said this, others have already suggested it." In fact, in the following opinion, the merit of peace does not necessarily have to be cultivated in the court, but it is okay to teach and educate people. ”

"This time, I plan to set up a academy to teach students, so that the way of sages can be passed on from generation to generation!"

Lin Feng said solemnly when he heard this: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has long had great ambitions, but Lin took the liberty to inquire, but I don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a place where Lin can serve in the academy." ”

Sima Shao smiled when he heard this, and immediately said: "It would be great if Brother Lin was willing to help me, there must be no scholars in the academy, and there must be no teachers if there are scholars." Brother Lin is very talented, it would be nice if he could teach my students for me. ”

"It doesn't take much time, it's good to come three times a week, and how about ten taels of silver a week? In this way, you will have money to support your family, and you will not delay your efforts as an official. ”

Ten taels of silver is quite a lot of money, and it is only used to teach three times a week, which is really a very good part-time livelihood.

Lin Feng knew that it was Sima Shao who supported him, and immediately said: "Your Highness, Lin is unknown in this life, and if there is a day, he will be rewarded by dogs and horses." ”

Sima Shao smiled: "With the friendship between you and me, it is really outside to say such things." ”

After speaking, the two said goodbye.

However, he said that after Sima Shao returned home, he began to prepare for the establishment of the academy.

For the preparation of the academy in his own place, it has always been Sima Shao's idea.

Now that the money is coming from, the next step is to choose a location.

There are a lot of things to do about the preparation of the college, but there is no urgency for a while.
