When Lu En left the palace today, it wasn't even dark.

Before that, he had been going home in the dark every day for nearly half a month.

So even he himself is a little unaccustomed.

Fortunately, he has no friends in officialdom, and he has always been alone.

This time when he entered Beijing, he only needed to report to the Ministry of Officials, and then went to Shunde Mansion to take office, and because of this, his own wife and children did not come to Beijing.

Therefore, there is no officially rented courtyard, but only temporarily settled in the official inn provided by the Ministry of Officials.

When he returned from the palace, the door was closed.

Everything was quiet.

Lu En turned around and opened the window, and looked out the window to the right, the bustling city that never sleeps and the towering Yuezhuang Restaurant. To the south on the left side is Suzaku Street, which stretches into the distance, and a library garden nestled in a cluster of houses.

When he saw there, his heart moved.

Before coming to Beijing, he had a plan to go to the library garden, but the sudden change made him stand in the palace for so many days, and he went out early and returned late every day, and he didn't have time until this moment.

So Lu En didn't procrastinate, went downstairs to buy a few pieces of bread and went over.

As usual, there are many readers inside and out, including people in official uniforms and children who look like scholars.

Inside, there are buildings and woods that cover each other, and there are many stone tables and benches on the road, although it is a place for people to gather, but it is actually very quiet.

Many people are holding a book standing or sitting and nibbling, the most sound is the sound of flipping books, and the loudest sound is probably the bookworm who is amused by what is in the book.

As soon as Lu En walked in, he found that this place was unusual, so many people here were reading undisturbed, if it wasn't for the peaceful and prosperous times, how could it be possible?

Since the establishment of the library garden, in addition to the earliest holy temple, it has gradually expanded to agriculture, medicine, military science, astronomy, water conservancy, and even arithmetic and physical science.

Daming didn't have a unified plan, anyway, it was involved, so he set up a building and put the book in.

As for the books themselves, books like the subset of classics and histories are easy to find, but other aspects have to be accumulated slowly. In the past few years, I dare not say that I have a million books, but if a person wants to read all the books here, it will take ten years of hard work.

As soon as Lu En entered the Holy Temple, he was struck by the magnificence of it, and the skilled craftsmen from nowhere opened the rows of tall and delicate bookcases, and the books inside were neatly arranged according to different classification methods.

Not only that, but the temple was crowded with people, and there were people sitting on the floor in the corners of the bookcases and walls, and this kind of position was considered a good place next to the pillars.

Lu En couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly walked inside.

Han, Tang, Song...... There are works by different literati.

The more Lu En looked, the more excited he became, he followed this law to find them one by one, and finally found Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty.

There are too many good articles by Fan Zhongyan, "The Story of Yueyang Tower", "The Book with the Tang Dynasty", "The Edict of Chen Shishi", "Lingwu Fu", "The Book of Ruling Shang", etc.

It's a pity that the few bookshelves under Fan Zhongyan's name are empty, and only a few articles are still there. Lu En saw that there was also someone on the side holding it in his hand, and he realized in his heart.

It's all taken away.

Lu En likes "Lingwu Fu" the most, but unfortunately he didn't find it after looking for a while, so he could only quench his thirst with "Shang's Ruling Book" first.

After getting it, he found a wall root and sat directly on the ground, and accidentally bumped into the person next to him, so he had to cast an apologetic look again.

Time flies by in the book, especially Luen, who doesn't even realize that the sun is setting and the light in the room is running low.

Until someone gradually walked up to him and handed him a thin booklet with the three characters Lingwu Fu on it.

Lu En was immediately overjoyed when he saw it, and he hurriedly raised his head, "It's Ling...... Zhongcheng?! ”

"Shh Gu Renyi motioned for him to whisper.

Lu En also put the book in his hand back in its original position, and then followed out of the hall.

To his surprise, according to the rules, he couldn't bring the book out, but Gu Renyi took it with a swagger.

"Zhongcheng, these books can be brought out?"

Gu Renyi led him on the stone road, "You are a good official, when you become a big official, not only can you take it away, but if you lack any books, you can also let Yuan Zheng go to collect them for you." ”

Lu En was surprised at first, but soon felt that this was normal.

"Also, don't call me Zhongcheng anymore, I'm no longer the governor of Shuntianfu, let alone your boss."

"Then what is my name Zhongcheng?"

"You can call it Brother Yishan."

"The lower officials don't dare."

Gu Renyi raised her eyebrows, revealing a mocking look, "Is there anything else in this world that Lu Hongda doesn't dare to do?" Didn't you tell Your Majesty in the palace that you can only choose one between the face of the court and the lives of the people? ”

Lu En was embarrassed, "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles." It's all in your ears. ”

"So let's call Brother Yishan, you are a person who dares to do anything, and suddenly you don't dare, but you are hypocritical. As for these rumors...... You have been by the emperor's side for many days, and so many ministers come in and out every day, no matter how much you don't care about you, you have to ask who that person is. ”

Lu En thought about it for a moment and reacted.

That's true, and he's famous.

"It's a pity... Contrary to what many people think, His Majesty only told me to stand by every day, without asking anything or even looking at me. The only time I was questioned was Zhongcheng...... Brother Yoshiyama just heard that. ”

The two of them said as they walked that Gu Renyi had a carriage, and later invited him to go up.

Lu En was indeed a bold man, he really dared to sit.

The carriage swayed into the inner city.

"When you speak like that, it is indeed shocking to the world, and it is normal for Your Majesty to stop asking you. You can still carry your head to the library to read, which is already extraordinarily generous. Gu Renyi really didn't know what to say about him, but the next moment he thought of something strange, "No, why are you free today?" Your Majesty won't tell you to stand? ”

"Well, Your Majesty is tired today, so rest early. So I was brought back. Just ......"

"Just what?"

Lu En and Gu Renyi are old acquaintances, and he can even be embarrassed to recommend himself to Gu Renyi to go to sea by himself, so Lu En dares to ask: "I have to ask Brother Yishan for advice on this matter." His Majesty only let me out of the palace today, but did not explain whether he would enter the palace as usual tomorrow. I would have asked ...... too."

Gu Renyi was shocked, his eyes widened directly, "You still asked?" ”

"Yes, but Your Majesty is too sleepy and asleep. So I don't know if I'll enter the palace tomorrow. ”

"To tell you the truth, since I became an official, I have never seen Your Majesty act like this. And I haven't experienced any of them, so what does Your Majesty mean...... It's really hard to tell. ”

Lu En was slightly disappointed, and even more at a loss.

"Forget it! Anyway, I'll go first tomorrow. If I am allowed to enter the palace, I will enter, and if I am not allowed to enter, I will not enter. ”

"So let you in tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you won't be able to get in?"

Lu En paused, and then replied, "It's still the same, let it in." ”

"But you can't keep putting it off. What is your majesty's palace? Perennial makes you want to enter? Even if Your Majesty is so magnanimous, as a courtier, should you? ”

Heck, that's just as well.

So Lu En was impatient, "I just don't understand what Your Majesty means!" If Your Majesty thinks I'm okay, then let me be a petty official, and I can still do something for the court and the people, if you think I'm not good, then I'll be dismissed as an official and let me fend for myself. But now I am only asked to stand by every day, not asking anything, not saying anything, what is the purpose of this? ”

I can't find an emperor who did such a thing in the history books.

Therefore, Gu Renyi also frowned, the holy will of the Son of Heaven, where is it so easy to speculate?

In the end, he could only shake his head, "Hongda, you can only grasp this matter yourself." I dare to say that even if Elder Yang Ge and Elder Wang Ge came, they could not say the emperor's true intentions with certainty. So in the end, it's up to you, whether it's good or bad, it's up to you, and you shouldn't listen to what others say. ”

Probably thinking that he didn't help him, Gu Renyi looked at the things in his hand, "Seeing that you are looking for Fan Zhongyan's work, I know that you must be looking for "Lingwu Fu", borrow you first, remember to return me." ”

"Thank you very much. I'm in place. Lu En was not polite, but when he held the book in his hand, he suddenly recited a sentence, "Rather die than live silently." ”

This is the original words of Fan Zhongyan in "Lingwu Fu".

Gu Renyi recited it sentence by sentence: How can Feng ridicule but not be ineffective, and how can Lin be hurt and not benevolent? Therefore, it can be cut and rolled, which is a divine soldier; Burning and changing, which is Yingqiong. Rather die than live silently.

It is indeed extremely well written.

Lu En seemed to think of something in his heart, but he didn't have a clue, he wanted to go back and forth carefully by himself.

However, when he got out of the car, Gu Renyi finally added a sentence, "I heard you say that Your Majesty is tired today, and I ...... in my heart I'm also a little ashamed. ”

Lu En didn't say anything more, but vaguely, he seemed to know where he was wrong.

In fact, Lu En himself is a very confident person, because he doesn't care about the eyes of others, after a long time, he doesn't care what others say, but this moment of awakening made his entire back sweat go down.
