"Lord Wang, something's wrong." Lin Qi took out the letter and put it on the table.

"What, what is this? God mysterious. Li Qiu picked up one casually, was slightly startled when he saw the fire paint mark on it, opened it and took out the letter paper and glanced at it twice, his face gradually became solemn.

"Where did it come from?" Li Qiu stuffed the letter back and asked in a deep voice.

"It was sent by an old man, he didn't say anything, give this to me and leave." Lin Qi said, "I think it may be Duan Fengnian's deceased, because after the Duan family brothers were rectified before, I collected their corpses, so I sent this to me, right?" ”

"Hmm...... Xiao Chen, what did he say? Li Qiu asked.

"Hou Ye just read a letter and didn't say anything, so I asked me to send it to the prince immediately." Lin Qi said, "No one knows about this matter except for Hou Ye and me. ”

"Are these letters true?" Li Qiudao.

"It's hard to tell the real from the fake." Lin Qi said.

"What does Xiao Chen mean by asking you to send this to me?" Li Qiudao.

"Hou Ye didn't say it, I think he probably just wants the prince to keep it, and he means to be prepared, right?" Lin Qi knows everything, and he says everything.

Because Brother Xiao taught him that when talking to the emperor or the prince, he is not afraid that you will say something wrong, but he is afraid that you will not say it.

Of course, you can't talk nonsense.

"Be prepared, that's good." Li Qiu chuckled, "I also hope to be just prepared, preferably safe." ”

Lin Qi couldn't answer this.

"By the way, have the people from the military department approached you?" Li Qiu's words changed and diverted the topic.

"Nope." Lin Qi said, "Actually, I was also about to tell the prince about this, this time I followed the prince to Langya, I didn't have any credit at all, but the prince, you listed me in the military merit book and reported it to the military department...... Why don't you discuss it with me in advance, my lord! ”

"Hahaha, you kid are talking to this king?" Li Qiu was not angry when he heard this, but he laughed.

"Lord Wang, what I said is from my heart." Lin Qi was serious, "Originally, I followed the prince just to be a staff officer, except for writing a few battle reports, I didn't do anything, and I didn't even go to the battlefield...... I'm not unusual! ”

It is a family with the prince, so he will talk about the family.

"Oh, you're not rare in fame, so what are you rare?" Li Qiudao.

"Who is not rare to be famous?" Lin Qi said, "But I want to exchange it for my own ability!" The emperor allowed me to participate in this scientific examination, and my fame will be taken from this! ”

"You dare to say that you can pass the exam?" Li Qiu knew that Xiao Chen had already got the exam questions, did he tell you about the kid too?

"I don't dare to say that I am ten percent sure, but there are always seven or eight percent." Lin Qi is full of confidence in his knowledge.

Because his father, Lord Dongyang, was also born in Kejia, and the article is very clever.

His father's articles were all read by his father since he was a child, at first laughing, then scolding, then explaining, and then discussing, and when he was twelve years old, he basically didn't comment on it......

Because I feel that my son's articles are better than those written by myself, and the truth is better than my own, especially the poems are good, when he made poems for the emperor for several years, he asked his son to ghostwrite.

praised him for being afraid of his pride, but he couldn't scold him, so he could only be noncommittal, not praise or disparage, and even pressed him for several years and did not allow him to participate in the township examination......

"Oh? Then let me ask you, where does the phrase 'morning and evening teachings, with the aid of virtue' come from, and what does it mean? Li Qiu asked casually.

"'Morning and night, to assist Taide' comes from the business book to say fate, which is the meaning of admonishing sooner or later to help the king cultivate virtue." Lin Qixin said that who doesn't know this? Elementary school students know it! Do you still ask the master? This is not a test for me, this is an insult to me, this is this!

"Is that what it means?" Li Qiu stared into Lin Qi's eyes, feeling that his reaction was not what he thought.

"Uh...... The deeper meaning is to be taught by the king. Lin Qi said.

"Well, your knowledge is so high, this king will not give advice...... So what, you guess the riddle? Li Qiu asked.

"It's a little bit of a guess, but it's too difficult to guess." Lin Qixin said, what are you going to do, you?

"Isn't this about to come to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Li Qiu said with a smile, "Yesterday, the emperor summoned a few of us into the palace to chat, so that each of us will also have a few lantern riddles to play tricks, which can be regarded as having fun with the people, I will think of a four-book riddle, let you guess first, if you guess correctly, this king will be rewarded." ”

"Thank you for your reward." Lin Qi said unashamedly.

Guessing this kind of thing is a small skill of carving insects for him, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it is the title of the four books, so even if you use your nose to guess it.

"Oh, I didn't see that you kid still likes to talk big!" Li Qiu smiled, "But you have to know, there is a reward for guessing, if you can't guess, you will be punished for drinking three glasses of wine!" ”

"I only want to receive the reward, not the punishment, please ask the prince to solve the mystery." Lin Qi said.

"Guanyin has no family tradition." Li Qiu said, "Play four books and one sentence." ”

"That must be a sentence in "The Mean", although there is no sign of goodness!" Lin Qi pondered for a moment and gave the answer.

"Yay?" Li Qiu was taken aback when he heard this, "Although this is not my mystery, how does it sound better than my mystery?" ”

"That's what I guessed wrong." Lin Qi said, "I don't know what the mystery of the prince is?" ”

"You can't say it, you can't say it." Li Qiu shook his hand again and again, "Just because your riddle is better than mine, it will inevitably lose face if you say it, it's better not to say it, it seems that this riddle can't be used, and you are not allowed to go out and talk to others!" ”

"Yes." Lin Qi was really inexplicable, and said in his heart, Lord Wang, you went out to drink just now? How can you say something like a drunken talk? But I didn't smell the alcohol on him......

"By the way, the emperor also ordered a few of us to write a few poems last night, and I also put together a few sentences randomly, can you come and take a look?" Li Qiu said and rolled up his arms and sleeves, ready to write a poem.

Lin Qi hurriedly stepped forward, helped him spread out the paper, took the inkstone, dripped some water, and sharpened the ink for him with his own hands.

But I saw Li Qiu's pen walking the dragon and snake, and brushed and brushed.

The poem says: "Frozen off Liyun Road, the snow in the leisure garden, the light of the wind and the candles, the warm smoke of the Xiao Bureau, the Jing girl Lingbo, Chang'e hugging the moon and sleeping, Luofu is as if it can be reached, and the plum folds a few branches." ”

"How?" Li Qiu was very satisfied after writing, and asked Lin Qi with a smile.

"It's really a good poem, every word is beautiful, and every sentence is splendid!" Lin Qixin said that it was average, but of course he couldn't tell the truth at this time, so he could only praise it.

"Really?" Li Qiu smiled, "Father said it was average. ”

In fact, Li Qiu can do better, but because Li Shi and Li Feng's two brothers are very ordinary, he naturally won't shake any little cleverness or show off, so he deliberately does it mediocre.

"That's because the emperor's expectations for the prince are too high." Lin Qi said with a smile, "I usually make some poems, sometimes I think it's very good, and I'm very proud, but when my father sees it, he can't say it's good." ”

The words are also very beautiful and decent.
