There's always a sense of detachment, and lately this thought has come up more and more often.

The carriage stopped all the way to Chang'an City, when she came home with Xiao Wu, she did not show timidity, but looked around curiously, Li Yue walked into the house, Xiao Wu walked into the house, Xiao Wu walked on her short legs, as if she was taking risks, she looked around, until she wanted to stretch out her hand to Xiao Xiong, Xiao Xiong was still very vigilant in the face of strangers and retreated.

The little girl was very curious about everything, and picked up Xiao Wu again with a pair of hands, and Li Yue held her in her arms, "You and the little bear are not familiar yet, and after it remembers your smell, you can also play with it." ”

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Xiong and nodded.

"I'll take her in a shower." Li Yue looked at Xiao Wu, who was still sloppy, and said.

"Well, do we have any clothes for her at home?"

"It would be nice to change my old dress."

Without waiting for Zhang Yang to answer, she went to the bathroom with someone in her arms.

Zhang Yang was packing up some meat and vegetables, thinking about what to eat tonight, and through the wall, he could hear the sound of water in the bathroom, and he could hear his daughter-in-law and Xiao Wu talking in a low voice.

"Why aren't you cowardly at all?"

Li Yue's words came.

Although listening to the roots of the wall is not a good thing, in this case of not having an abundant selection of building materials, it is difficult to do such a thing as sound insulation, and it should not be considered eavesdropping when you hear it when cooking.

"Daddy said that he wanted to listen to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"You also have a senior sister, but she lives in the palace, and I will teach you arithmetic in the future."

There was only the sound of water again, and the words stopped?

"You have to remember that it was your talent that made me take you as an apprentice, not that I chose you."

"Remembered."

Dinner was served, and there was an extra guest at home, and more bowls were placed on the table.

For a five-year-old girl who suddenly left her parents, even if the samurai had an explanation, she was not afraid to live with strangers.

At night, the couple was making the final repairs to the West Chamber, and Xiao Wu quietly looked at it with a scroll of literacy and decipherment, and she didn't know how much she could understand.

After proofreading the content of the two articles, Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Don't you think Xiao Wu is too dull?" ”

Li Yue glanced at Xiao Wu, who was looking at the scroll intently, "It's really too dull, not as lively as the beautiful ones." ”

"I think it's because she doesn't want to express her true feelings."

"Why is this happening?" Li Yue asked.

The swaying light of the oil lamp shone on the faces of the couple sitting opposite each other, Li Yue habitually poured a bowl of tea for the husband in front of her, and took a dried date and chewed it in her mouth.

"It may have something to do with his father's or mother's teachings since childhood." Zhang Yang thought.

"Hmm. I saw it today, too. ”

She was a little worried about Xiao Wu, it was best for children to grow up lively and cheerful, Zhang Yang comforted: "Take her to the palace, let her play with the children in the palace more, you have to enlighten slowly." ”

Li Yue nodded, "Now that she is still young, it is only five years old and it is too late to cultivate her character well, and when she grows up, she may forget the memories before the age of five." ”

After proofreading the first few articles, Li Yue sorted them out, "These are enough for us to print one of the volumes, and I will hand them over to Aunt Wang early in the morning and let her send them to the village to start preparing." ”

Zhang Yang drank tea, "This time 5,000 copies are printed, and the old price is still 100 yuan a copy." ”

In this regard, Li Yue no longer cares about Zhang Yang, with these three projects, the productivity of the village can be increased several times, "Well, it will be fine." ”

After saying that, she hugged Xiao Wu to rest, Zhang Yang returned to his workbench, continued to polish a machine expansion, picked up a flint, and when it slashed through the iron piece, there would be some sparks bursting.

At dawn, the couple took Xiao Wu to breakfast, and unexpectedly found that Xiao Wu liked porridge very much, and she ate a big bowl and was still unsatisfied.

This is the first time she went to the palace, Li Yue combed her hair in a bun and changed her clothes to dress up well.

She also changed into the old clothes she wore before, and the clothes were much shorter.

Now Xiao Wu's whole person looks much more aura.

The couple walked out of the house, like a family of three, and the uncles and aunts in Dongshi were also curious when they saw it, and whispered about it.

Walking all the way to the palace, Xiao Wu's eyes observed the palaces, and finally her eyes fell on the Taiji Hall at the end of the Vermilion Bird Gate, and saw the most central place of the Tang Dynasty's power.

When she arrived at the Lizheng Palace, the Taiji Hall disappeared from her field of vision, and then she withdrew her gaze.

Seeing Li Yue come to the Lizheng Hall with a girl, the originally noisy child suddenly quieted down.

Li Yue introduced Xiao Wu to the queen, knowing that the child was the daughter of Ying Guogong, the eldest grandson queen smiled: "What a beautiful female doll." ”

After saluting the queen, Zhang Yang also walked to the East Palace.

At the door of the Chongwen Hall in front of the East Palace, Zhang Daan was explaining to Li Chengqian.

Since the beginning of compiling this book, Zhang Da'an has almost lived in the Chongwen Pavilion for half a month.

Seeing Zhang Yang coming, Li Chengqian seemed to see a savior.

The prince looked panicked, and Zhang Yang said entangledly: "His Royal Highness the prince, why are you so panicked?"

Li Chengqian held the book in his hand, "Da'an said that the outline of this book came from the hands of Lone. ”

Zhang Yang took the book, and the first thing he saw was a four-word extracurricular reading.

Da'an is so simple in choosing the title of the book.

Opening the book, the text entered the eyes and looked at the content carefully, Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Well, it's done well." ”

Li Chengqian's expression was terrified, "Da'an said that this book outline was written by Lone, and he also said that it was written according to Lone's outline. ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I watched the prince read this outline." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian held his forehead in pain, "Wait a minute, you let Gu recall the memories." ”

Looking at Da'an's honest smile again, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "This is the first achievement of our Chongwen Pavilion, you let people hand over this achievement to Your Majesty, such extracurricular reading materials can arouse people's interest in reading, and also make them more active in reading and literacy, so that we have more readers in Datang, and I will also relay my words to Your Majesty." ”

"Well, let's do it."

Li Chengqian's expression changed from pain to numbness.

Coming to him, Zhang Yang whispered, "How does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recall?" ”

"Lone can really write this kind of outline."

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Zhang Yang walked into the Chongwen Pavilion, where there was a low-legged table with messy scrolls on the table, and took out a piece of rice paper from under these scrolls.

What is written on it is the original outline.

Zhang Yang put this outline in front of Li Chengqian, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a look." ”

Li Chengqian said confusedly: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Please look at this compendium, this is the compendium recorded by the prince reciting the ministers, what is the excerpt from the collection of stories written on the compendium?"

Li Chengqian pondered, "Lone used to read a storybook on the queen mother's side, this book was sent by Yue'er, and Lone asked people to copy a copy, and I looked at it on weekdays to relieve boredom." ”

"That's right." Zhang Yang pointed to one of the compendiums again, "And this Xian Youde excerpt?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, "Lone has indeed recited it." ”

Zhang Yang pointed out one more place, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, there is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, and then there is speech?" ”

"Lone remembers, these are all Lone has to memorize."

Li Chengqian couldn't stop nodding, and the confusion in his eyes was even heavier.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "All kinds of princes on this remember it, why can't the prince remember?" Did you get drunk and forget? ”

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, frowned and closed his eyes and covered his face, "Lone feels very painful now. ”

patting him on the back, Zhang Yang whispered and comforted: "If you can't think about it, don't think about it, if you think about it again, it will only get more and more painful, let's go drink tea and play chess." ”

"It's good, it's good."

Zhang Da'an relayed some words to the palace people, and explained that he would also hand over the book to His Majesty.

The eunuchs in the palace are still very quick to do things.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the book of extracurricular reading materials appeared on Li Shimin's desk.

"Your Majesty, this book is from the Chongwen Pavilion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I am hereby presenting it to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin took the book and looked at the contents on it, "I asked Zhang Yang to open the Chongwen Pavilion, and he used such a book to explain to me?" ”

】

The eunuch bowed down and said: "This book is an outline set up by the prince, written by the young master Zhang Yang, and then compiled by Zhang Da'an of the Chongwen Pavilion. ”

Li Shimin's expression was neither good nor bad, he just sat quietly.

This majesty alone made the eunuchs and palace maids on the side dare not raise their heads or move.

After a long time, Li Shimin stood up and walked out of the Ganlu Palace, all the way through the Taiji Hall to the Ministry of Officials.

At this moment, within the ministry, Gao Shi was honest and closed his eyes.

Hearing the little official preaching in his ear that His Majesty was coming, the elderly Gao Shilian slowly stood up and saw Li Shimin bowing and saluting, "The old minister greets Your Majesty, the old minister is negligent and rude, and I also ask Your Majesty to give me my sin." ”

His eyes signaled, and all the officials on the side went out, Li Shimin put on a smile and helped Gao Shilian, "Why did my uncle say this, how did he give him sin?" Now that he is old, I deliberately asked the ministry to send some more capable scribes, hoping to share my uncle's worries. ”

Li Shimin said again, "I don't know how my uncle is doing recently?" ”

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and said: "I often forget things, I often fall asleep, I forget the hour, sometimes I wake up and can't remember where I am, and I know that I am at home when I am comforted by my family." ”

"I arranged for the Imperial Physician's Department to take another look at my uncle's body."

"No need." Gao Shilian shook his head and smiled, "It's like this when you're old, and you can't cure it." ”

Holding Gao Shilian's hand, Li Shimin was silent.

"The minister handed over many matters of the ministry to Yang Shidao, and most of the matters here were handed over to him to preside, he is a powerful courtier, but he is indecisive."

"I understand that the officials lack courtiers who can make decisions."

Gao Shilian nodded slowly, "It would be good if Du Ruhui was still here, with his talents, he would definitely be able to serve as an important officer." ”

"Back then, those people lived half their lives with me, and their success was the time to enjoy peace, but now they can't see it when I want to establish a prosperous world." Li Shimin's words were filled with emotion.

Gao Shilian's cloudy eyes looked at the table, "If Yang Shidao is not of great use, Your Majesty can let the eldest grandson Wuji serve as the secretary of the ministry, otherwise Wei Zheng can also be, the position of the ministry involves the promotion and appointment of officials, and Your Majesty should be cautious when employing people." ”

"I must remember my uncle's entrustment." After speaking, Li Shimin took out a book and put it on the table, "I thought of Zhang Yang's talents, let him be the young master of the East Palace, let him stay with the prince, and then opened the Chongwen Pavilion, half a month has passed, and now he has compiled such a book for me." ”

Gao Shilian was stunned, picked up the book and opened it to look at the contents on it.

"Why don't you listen to my uncle and listen?"

"I can see it." Gao Shilian couldn't help nodding after reading the first article, "Lao Chen likes the first story of the farmer and the snake very much, is it the farmer's kindness that harms him, or is it the fault of the snake that the farmer bites to death?" ”

"What does my uncle think?"

Gao Shilian shook his head, "The implication is very good, if it weren't for Your Majesty mentioning the old ministers, you would have forgotten about this talent who made the Tang soldiers take the Hexi Corridor without blood." ”

Li Shimin nodded, "Now he has restrained a lot." ”

Gao Shilian asked again: "What position does he have now?" ”

Hearing such a question, Li Shimin's heart was sour, and he still pretended to be casual and patiently repeated his previous words, "I remembered his talents, left him by the prince's side, and restructured the Chongwen Hall into the Chongwen Hall in the hope that they can recruit more talents and give a strategy for governing the country, which is both beating and tempering." ”

"As a close minister of the crown prince, I don't want to be in a hurry for quick success, and I don't want to show my talent in front of Your Majesty." Gao Shilian thought about it and whispered repeatedly: "This person just wrote such a book? ”

"Exactly." Li Shimin still showed the respect that the younger generation should have.

Stroking his beard again, Gao Shilian smiled again, "Your Majesty has already paved the way for him, but he is still standing still, Zhang Yang is young but not arrogant, compiling this book is harmless, and it is not meritorious, it will not cause prejudice among the people of the court, nor will it make mistakes in the eyes of His Majesty, this kind of measure can also be laughed at and generous." ”

Taking a sip of tea, Gao Shilian nodded, "It's right to compile this book, there are not too many books, as a close minister of the crown prince and not involved in court politics, he is introverted and has a stable mind, and knows what he should do and what he should not do." ”

"I thought Zhang Yang didn't trust the court."

"Definitely." Gao Shilian denied: "He is a child who can grasp the measure, if Your Majesty uses it well, he will also be a courtier who is beneficial to the society in the future, I don't know how to educate now?" ”

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "I will arrange for him to meet with his uncle." ”

Gao Shilian nodded slightly, "Maybe this is the last time the old man will see him in his life." ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes and breathed slowly, "Uncle must take care of his body." ”

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian looked at this outline repeatedly and asked Zhang Da'an, "Did you really compile that book alone?" ”

"Back to the prince, the outline is very detailed, and the minister is just an excerpt."

"I didn't think you had such a skill before."

Zhang Daan bowed down and said: "My brother often says that you should think about it more, and every time you put pen to paper, the minister will think about it for a long time. ”

"Your brother? Zhang Elephant? ”

"It's Zhang Yang, he treats his ministers like his own brother, and this brother should also be."

I thought that after Zhang Yang's nudge, Zhang Da'an was smarter, but now looking at his honest smile, it was still the same as before, Li Chengqian shook his head to confirm that he was thinking too much.
