At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was so surprised that his jaw was about to fall.

Even if he is as strong as Zhu Gaoxu, he thinks that if he hasn't slept for twenty-three hours, he is afraid that he will have to stop cooking at this time.

But the old man in front of him was over seventy years old, and he didn't sleep for twenty-three hours.

No wonder he was a withered man, looking like a living dead.

But now, the old man still staggered.

As he walked, he slowly raised his head, looked at the Forbidden City, and said with emotion: "Decades ago, the old man entered the palace from here, hey...... Ah, ...... then."

He smiled, as if he remembered many memories from a long time ago, but then he fell into endless distress.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the old man's expression and said, "What is on the old man's mind?" ”

The old man looked lonely and said, "You don't understand the old man's business. ”

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

The old man said at this time: "Your Majesty, how is his body?" ”

"Father, the emperor, the dragon body is still safe."

The old man nodded and said softly, "Indeed, he was the strongest in the first place. ”

When the two arrived at the Chongwen Palace, there were already many people in the Chongwen Hall who were looking forward to it.

Zhu Di waited anxiously, but at this time, as the Son of Heaven, it was not good to ask too much, seeing that a lot of time had passed, he could only wait at this time.

Zhu Gaochi sat on one side, looking at the direction of the palace gate, and did not dare to come out.

Zhu Zhanji also has a small chair, which sits under Zhu Gaochi.

The rest of the hundred officials waited with bated breath.

Of course, everyone didn't expect Zhang Anshi to come, and on such an occasion of a feast, the prince actually brought Zhang Anshi here, which couldn't help but make people feel unhappy.

Especially Xie Jin, his eyes always swept over Zhang Anshi's body very lightly.

He couldn't help but think thoughtfully, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... This is his brother-in-law...... Do you think of it as a minister of the court?

This Anshi is opportunistic, relying on the shortcut of eight shares, and boasting that he has learned to be rich and five cars, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also believe it?

Xie Jin boasted that he was the prince's first friend, but now, he obviously felt snubbed.

However, he was still calm, but his eyes were subconsciously looking at Hu Yan.

In fact, Hu Yan's demeanor was very bad, as if he was very tired.

Xie Jin couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart, Zhang Anshi is just a relative, what ability can he have, could it be that Zhang Anshi is behind this nonsense? Many things were planned by Hu Yan behind his back?

If so, it would be terrible, Hu Yan's plan is not small!

And a person like Hu Yan, once he has a plan, then what this person wants may be what Xie Jin has now.

On the other hand, Zhu Di was indeed a little strange about Zhang Anshi's arrival.

He also had some dislike in his heart, but his dislike was a little different from the others here!

Hmph, this guy is racing against time to earn money, and he came here to make a lot of fun!

No matter what everyone here was thinking, at this time, the voice of the eunuch outside finally came in: "His Royal Highness the King of Han has arrived." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di couldn't wait to stand up and walk down the hall quickly.

Immediately, I saw Zhu Gaoxu slowly walking in with the old man.

As soon as Zhu Di saw the old man, his face immediately turned red, his eyes opened subconsciously, and he laughed: "Hahahaha...... Sir, don't come unharmed. ”

The old man smiled and saluted, "I've seen ......."

Zhu Di had already prepared, took a step forward, and hugged the old man: "Sir, no, no." ”

The ministers in the hall all looked at the old man, and many people paid attention.

You must know that the old man in front of him is not an ordinary person, and even hundreds of officials are also impressed by him.

This person is none other than the Confucian Li Xiyan who taught the princes to read with Song Lian at the beginning.

Li Xiyan may not be famous in later generations, this is because ...... He had been in seclusion until he taught the prince.

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang heard his literary name that he personally invited him out of the mountain and asked him to come to the Pope to study.

After Li Xiyan taught the princes to read, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to give him an official position and make him a minister of the court, but he refused and still went into seclusion.

In the past few decades, he has only read books and has not asked about the world.

Such a person who was already famous in the early years of Hongwu and moved the world can be said to be the predecessor of all the ministers of the court at this time.

What's more, his identity as an emperor is naturally enough to be respected.

Of course, the most talked-about thing is his temperament.

Not only is he indifferent to fame and fortune, but he also teaches the prince to really teach.

Song Lian, who taught the princes at the same time as him, always cared for the princes.

And Li Xiyan is different, if he catches the disobedient, he will beat him.

This Li Xiyan taught the princes the principles and deeds of Yao Shunyu Shangtang, doing great benevolence and fighting for righteousness, and these princes will inevitably have times when they do not listen to the teachings and are naughty.

Li Xiyan taught strictly, although he was a prince, there were those who did not accept education or did not study seriously, he still hit them in the head with a pen.

If you fight too much, you will leave a mark on your brain. Once, Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the scars of his son's beating and was furious.

Queen Ma knew the reason, so she asked loudly: "Where is there a standard of Yao and Shun to teach your son and make you lose your temper?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still angry a moment ago, immediately stopped talking and calmed down after hearing this. Since then, he has had more respect for Li Xiyan.

The other princes were also often beaten, so they liked Song Lian and didn't like Li Xiyan.

But only Zhu Di is the favorite, but Li Xiyan is the favorite! Because for Zhu Di, such a teacher who is willing to beat himself is a truly selfless person.

Li Xiyan is indeed the same, after Zhu Di and these people became vassals, he resigned from his official position and went to study in seclusion.

Readers and readers are still different.

If it is those hypocritical readers, Zhu Di hates it so much.

But for Li Xiyan, he has no disgust, only indescribable admiration and respect.

At this time, Zhu Di rolled up his long sleeves in front of Li Xiyan, exposed an arm, and said, "Sir, look, the scars from Mr. I was beaten at the beginning are still there." ”

Li Xiyan listened to it and smiled: "Hahahaha...... The minister has long forgotten, and I don't want His Majesty to remember it vividly. ”

Zhu Di said very sincerely: "If it wasn't for Mr. beating me at the beginning, there would be no me today." ”

Li Xiyan said: "There are more than a dozen princes I teach, but the most promising one is Your Majesty, which shows that it is not the good of the ministers." ”

Zhu Di hugged Li Xiyan and said, "Mr. is too modest. ”

Zhang Anshi stood there, looking straight ahead, his eyes were about to fall.

It was the first time he saw Zhu Di who actually began to write crepe, and he looked gentle and courteous.

The other hundred officials all bowed slightly to Li Xiyan.

Zhu Gaochi pulled Zhu Zhanji on the side and said in a low voice: "You should have such a master." ”

Zhu Zhanji's little face wrinkled, and he suddenly shuddered.

Zhu Di refused to go up to the palace to sit, but only asked the eunuch to move two chairs, let Li Xiyan sit in the hall, and sat on the side himself, and first started a family routine with Li Xiyan: "How is Mr. lately?" ”

"Reading every day, time flies like a white horse, and thirty years is just a dream, and I can't tell the difference between good and bad." Li Xiyan replied casually.

After hearing this, Zhu Di bowed his head with emotion: "Yes, it's already a matter of things." But...... Mr. doesn't seem to be in good shape, so he must take care of himself. ”

A trace of pain flashed in Li Xiyan's eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Originally, the minister expected that he would have three or five years to live, but recently there has been a big change, and now, ...... I'm ashamed...... The minister may not survive the winter of this year. ”

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this, he carefully looked at Li Xiyan's face, and he did have a feeling that he was about to run out of oil.

Zhu Di said with concern: "This ...... This...... I ordered the Imperial Doctor, no, I ordered Zhang ......"

Li Xiyan shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this, what the minister gets is heart disease...... Non-golden stone techniques can be healed. ”

"This time, the king of Han came to invite the old man, and the old man didn't want to pay attention to the mundane affairs outside, but he thought that he was about to die, and he couldn't help but think that he hadn't seen His Majesty for decades, so he came to see him. Today, when I can see that Your Majesty has this dragon horse spirit, I am also content. ”

Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and his heart unconsciously overflowed with a trace of sadness.

Only Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was already full of joy in his heart, and the time for a long face came......

He hurriedly said to Zhu Di: "Father, a great sage like Mr. Li, the sons and daughters have worked hard to find it......"

Zhu Di didn't have the heart to listen to Zhu Gaoxu's words, just nodded subconsciously and said casually: "I'm sorry for you, I don't want you to know people." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My son has listened to his father's teachings since he was a child, how can he not know how to grow up today. ”

He felt relieved, and felt like his feet were on cotton.

Today can be regarded as a great achievement, and his father will definitely be impressed by him in the future.

Zhu Di didn't care about King Han's thoughts, but looked at Li Xiyan worriedly and said, "Sir...... What is the heart disease in your mouth, and can you tell me? What's more, a great talent like Mr. knows astronomy and geography, what can make Mr. be like this? ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Hu Yan, who was among the hundreds of officials, had begun to silently shrink his head behind the body of his colleagues.

He didn't know what was going on in the world.

It seems that whatever you do will offend people, and even if you don't do anything, you can always invite unjustified disasters.

I can't figure it out!

"Hey......" At this time, it seemed that Li Xiyan's thoughts were suddenly spoken, and he let out a long sigh.

In fact, it's okay if Zhu Di didn't mention it.

After all kinds of ideological struggles, Li Xiyan has actually temporarily let go of those things that make him crazy.

But now that Zhu Di wants to mention it, Li Xiyan began to find that his heartbeat was faster, and his blood began to surge.

His face turned red suddenly, and his voice unconsciously raised: "What kind of talent, old and decrepit people, where is there any talent, cough cough...... Ahem......"

Zhu Di was shocked: "What does this mean, sir?" ”

At this time, Li Xiyan's eyes were moist, he shook his head, and suddenly began to beat his heart.

Seeing this, Zhu Di and Baiguan were even more surprised.

What's going on?

It was fine just now!

How is this in the blink of an eye......

"Sir, sir......"

Li Xiyan wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he couldn't speak, as if his emotions were beginning to collapse again, and he continued to beat his heart.

Zhu Di was shocked: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor......"

The officials were even more whispering.

"What's the matter, sir? Something can't be wrong at home, right? ”

"What could be done to force him to such a point?"

"He won't also spend three thousand five hundred taels...... Bought the book, right? ”

"What, you spent three thousand five hundred taels?"

"How much did you spend?"

"One Thousand Three ......"

"Haha...... I only spent five hundred and eighty taels ......"

So, another one collapsed.

Faced with this situation, Hu Yan in the crowd had a miserable face.

He began to flush again, his heart beat faster, and he was breathing rapidly.

Hu Yan faintly felt ...... Is there a possibility, that is...... That was the last time......

I knew it was like this...... Shouldn't I regret it......

Hu Yan silently lowered his head, like a thief.

He didn't expect that he would be a dignified Confucian, and the prince of the country would be like a rat crossing the street.

Zhang Anshi watched it beautifully, and thought that this lecture would be boring, but he didn't expect it...... It's still fun to watch.

Zhang Anshi's eyes flashed.

Sure enough, when he saw Zhu Zhanji sitting there, he also watched it with relish, and his eyes didn't blink.

Zhang Anshi...... Zhang Anshi......"

Zhang Anshi suddenly came back to his senses, and he was about to step forward.

At this time, Li Xiyan coughed suddenly, and then said quietly: "You don't need to call the imperial doctor, you don't have to...... Ahem...... Ahem...... Ay...... Minister...... Minister...... It's a ghost. ”

Hu Yan: "......"

As soon as they heard that there was a ghost, everyone cheered up.

It can be seen that in this world, there are still a lot of gossipers, from the ministers to the peddlers and pawns.

Zhu Di's face changed greatly, and he said with a tense face: "What, Mr. has seen a ghost?" ”

Li Xiyan shed hot tears, and breathed desperately like a bellows for a few more times before he could barely calm down his collapsed emotions, and then continued: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, one plus one, how much?" ”

Zhu Di didn't think about it and said: "One plus one, naturally it's two." ”

Li Xiyan said bitterly: "What if it's three? ”

Zhu Di didn't know why, and said directly: "I still don't understand." ”

"Let's talk about arithmetic, the minister has learned a lot of arithmetic, and the root of this arithmetic is that one plus one is two, so if one plus one is three, what does it mean?"

Speaking of this, Li Xiyan showed a painful expression, and said: "This means that everything that the minister has learned in his life may be wrong, and the minister has read thousands of books, and these ten thousand books are all useless." ”

Yes, this is the reason for Li Xiyan's pain.

When the foundation of learning is shaken, then all the superstructures built on this foundation will naturally become rootless trees, and everything may be pushed back again.

This means even more that the erudite Li Xiyan ...... In this life, I lived in seclusion at home, studied hard, and all the knowledge I learned was overturned.

This is such a terrible thing for Li Xiyan.

If he had noticed this forty years ago, he might have been like Yang Shiqi, although he would have pondered it and felt incredible, but at least he would have lifted his spirits and tirelessly sought verification.

If he had noticed this twenty years ago, he might have been like Hu Yan, although it was painful, he would have tossed and turned, and he would have been stuck in his throat, but after all, he ...... After all, he can collect his mood and explore slowly.

Can ...... now He is dying, he is old, and it is too late!

A few days ago, he looked back on his life, maybe he was quite complacent, he had been an emperor, he had done a lot of learning, he didn't dare to say that he was the best in the past and the present, but he was also quite accomplished, and this life was worth it.

But now he only has despair.

The scary thing is...... The two sentences that Hu Yan said, if a mediocre person heard it, might not have any reaction.

Only a person like Li Xiyan, who is really knowledgeable and talented, and has devoted his whole life to learning, can immediately detect a terrible question when he hears it.

And these questions, he can no longer find the answers in this life, what is more painful in the world?

Zhu Di probably also understood what Li Xiyan meant: "Then what does Mr. mean......"

Li Xiyan said bitterly: "The old man is not worthy of being a gentleman, nor is he worthy of being a teacher. ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Immediately, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Hu Yan: "......"

Xie Jin immediately looked at Hu Yan with a strange look.

This nonsense...... What means are you using?

The other hundred officials, all with strange faces.

They do think that Hu Yan is an extremely talented person.

But...... If you say that there is only one truly talented person in the world, this makes many people unconvinced.

Then the crowd began to whisper again.

Hu Yan's face was even more ugly, he felt like a shelled egg, and his whole body was about to suffocate.

In the past few days, he has been in very bad health, it can be said that he has forgotten to sleep and eat, but in fact, his physical condition is not much better than this Li Xiyan.

Now Li Xiyan's words are like a slap in the face, which directly makes his eyes dark, what kind of evil is this!

However, after all, there are some things that you want to hide, but you can't dodge.

Listen up...... As if he had been on the execution ground, he stood up slowly.

Zhu Di looked sideways and glanced at Hu Yan.

And Li Xiyan began to beat his chest and fall again.

Hu Yan said cautiously: "Gong Li...... Student...... Student ......"

As soon as Li Xiyan saw Hu Yan, he was really a nameless karmic fire that was about to pop out.

To be honest, without this guy Hu Yan, he thinks that he will be able to die and be a happy fool, why not?

As a result, he lived the rest of his life well...... This guy came running......

Seeing that Li Xiyan's breathing was getting faster and faster.

Hu Yan had a bitter face, and hurriedly said, "Gong Li...... Li Gong...... This...... It's no wonder to me. I am also hearsay, I really can't calm my heart, thinking of Li Gong's talent, so I took the liberty to ask for advice...... Li Gong, Li Gong ......"

After that, Hu Yan rushed up and hugged Li Xiyan.

Zhu Di was furious: "Hu Yan, what did you do? ”

"Minister...... ......"Hu Yan felt that it was difficult for him to explain to Zhu Di.

In fact, Hu Yan himself felt that he was about to collapse, he couldn't live this day, if it weren't for the poverty of his family, he Hu Yan would rather learn from Li Xiyan and the dog would be your official.

Li Xiyan slowly regained a little calm, waved his hand and said: "No, I don't blame you, I can't blame you, I only blame the old man himself, the old man has figured it out, it's me who is shallow in learning, it's me who has no ability......"

The officials looked at all this dumbfounded, if a great Confucian like Li Xiyan said that he was only a shallow learner, then in this world, who would dare to say that he was high?

But at this time, Li Xiyan suddenly lifted his spirits: "No, no, Your Majesty, the minister must live well, the minister has one thing to do in this life, if he dies like this, the minister is unwilling, unwilling...... The minister will live......"

This is the peak of the loop...... Zhu Di was stunned.

He couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.

But...... Roughly, he seemed to understand something.

There is a very learned person, this person's knowledge is far above his teacher, and he, the teacher who has studied hard all his life, has suffered a huge blow because of this.

The ministers also heard the taste, and they were even more shocked.

In this world, who dares to say that it can be more powerful than Li Xiyan?

This is a real Confucian, not comparable to ordinary people who do eight-share articles.

When people were famous all over the world, most of the officials in the court were still wearing open crotch pants.

At this time, Xie Jin was also interested, and he secretly thought: "Is there really such a person in the world?" ”

Li Xiyan smiled reluctantly at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is really ashamed, he should have come here to teach the scriptures, who would have expected ......"

Zhu Di's eyes were slightly red, and he pulled this strict teacher who often beat him at the beginning, and said with admiration: "If I can see you, it will be enough to comfort my life, Mr. must not say that." ”

Li Xiyan said: "The minister can ask...... A few words? ”

Zhu Di said: "Sir, please." ”

Li Xiyan looked at Hu Yan, Hu Yan was already in the spotlight at this time, and he only smiled bitterly.

"I ask you." Li Xiyan said: "Let me ask you, where did you hear these words?" ”

Hu Yan said honestly: "It's a Hanlin, he asked me for advice, I listened to it at the time, and I didn't care, but when I returned to Guozijian, I suddenly felt that it didn't seem simple, so I ...... So I meditated, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt ......"

He looked up at Li Xiyan with a wry smile.

In fact, he knew that Li Xiyan must have understood his feelings.

For the past few days, both of them have been living in endless pain.

"It's just a Hanlin, and he has such a talent!" Li Xiyan was taken aback and said: "The old man actually thought that he must be a certain unborn Confucian, and this person must have amazing talents, but I am afraid that he is the same age as the old man." ”

Hu Yan laughed even more bitterly, and said: "In my opinion, this Hanlin may have only heard it, because he was also puzzled, so he came to me for advice, but ...... It's just that this also stumped me, so I ...... That's ......"

When Li Xiyan heard this, a nameless karmic fire suddenly burst out in his heart.

At this time, he was emotionally up, and suddenly became angry: "Enter your mother, he hurt you, you came to harm me, I am a dying person, do you want to teach me not to die well?" ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Baiguan: "......"

The indescribable embarrassment in the hall.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up, his legs were hanging, and his small body was boiling with blood.

Zhang Anshi sighed in his heart, it turned out that the most powerful Confucian was also like this.

It seems that it is right, I, Zhang Anshi, am a great Confucian, and I live up to my name.

But...... What are they talking about?

Hu Yan looked embarrassed.

Li Xiyan said at this time: "The old man has a bad temper, don't be surprised." ”

"Yes, yes."

Li Xiyan said again: "Where is Hanlin?" Can...... Please come and see us? ”

Hu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this is great, there is a way to be wronged, there is a debtor, and you can finally settle your grievances.

So Hu Yan said without hesitation: "It's Hanlin who talks about Yang Shiqi......"

The hall was in an uproar again.

Even Zhang Anshi was moved.

No, no......

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Ministers, look at me, I'll look at you.

seems to be looking for Yang Shiqi, who was not much concerned before.

Zhu Di immediately shouted: "Yang Shiqi came forward." ”

At this time, someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Shiqi had taken leave the day before yesterday." ”

"Leave?" Zhu Di looked surprised, frowned, and said, "What kind of falsehood?" ”

This man said: "Sick leave, he said that he was very sick, so the Hanlin Academy granted him leave." ”

Zhu Di felt more and more incredible.

Li Xiyan suddenly showed a look of disappointment.

But at this time, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu came to the spirit.

He had already shown his face once today, and now of course he would not let go of this second chance.

"Father, I think the master mentioned by Mr. must have a talent through the sky, this is the luck of the court, it is the luck of the society, and only when a holy lord like my father is in power, the world's talents will continue to emerge."

Zhu Gaoxu paused, and then said: "It's better to let Erchen go to find this Yang Shiqi, and then visit this great sage." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was moved.

What kind of person is Li Xiyan, this is already the person he admires the most, if that person, in a few words, can directly make Mr. become like this, then this person's knowledge is terrible.

What Zhu Di doesn't like is rotten.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't respect the real Confucians.

But at this time, someone said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to go." ”

Zhu Di looked at it, but it was Xie Jin.

Xie Jin at this time, of course, will not miss it.

The merit of searching for great talents can not be snatched by the King of Han, the prince is embarrassed to speak, so he will come out, so the prince must be grateful to him.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and then looked at Xie Jin.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go with you."

Just then, another voice came out!

It's Hu Yan!

Hu Yan said: "These days, the minister doesn't think about tea, he doesn't want to eat, and he is about to be tossed crazy, minister...... I was looking forward to seeing him, hoping to get the man's guidance. ”

"The minister is willing to go."

"I want to go."

Voices came out one after another, and among these hundred officials, there were many people who were interested in it.

This is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, not only has the reputation of visiting the imperial court, but also can stop by to see what this person is like, and what kind of talent he has.

The hall suddenly became lively, and almost everyone was eager to try, and everyone looked at Zhu Di with great anticipation.

Li Xiyan also said at this time: "Minister...... The minister also wants to go. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di said with concern: "Mr. is not ...... well."

Li Xiyan shook his head slightly and said, "The minister would rather die on the road of pursuing true knowledge than waste his time here." ”

Zhu Di sighed, his eyes slammed, and said, "I'm going, I want to see this person in person......"
