The East Palace, internal and external chaos.

Countless people are coming in and out of it.

Yao Lingzhang, Su Liangsi, Jiang Yan and others were in the front yard of the East Palace, commanding the prince Zhan Shifu, and the officials of the prince's left and right Chunfang entered the official house.

Li Xuan and Xue Yuanchao discussed entering in a low voice, and they had a close relationship.

"Xue Xiang, Lord Wang." Everyone bowed to Xue Yuanchao and Li Xuan.

Li Xuan and Xue Yuanchao returned the salute at the same time.

"How's the arrangement?" Xue Yuanchao looked around and asked in a low voice.

"It's still getting used to, and today is the first day after all." Yao Lingzhang stepped forward.

Yao Lingzhang is the real steward of the East Palace.

Left and right Spring Fang, Prince Three Temples, Prince Six Rates.

All official correspondence had to pass through the Crown Prince Zhan's Mansion before they could pass through the various ministries of the imperial court.

Therefore, Yao Lingzhang, the prince Zhan Shi, is a positive third product.

Xue Yuanchao is the prime minister, the one who really made the final word.

Li Xuan has a foreign position, and most of the time he has the authority to advise and persuade the superintendent.

Others, including Su Liangsi, Jiang Yan, Wei Hongmin, Cheng Wuzhong and other officials of the three temples of the prince, are the real backbone of the East Palace, from the fourth rank to the fifth grade.

The following people, the prince people, the prince Zhongyun, the prince Yude, and the bachelor of Chongwenguan are the ones who do things.

The other prince's three temples belong to the East Palace.

As for the six rates of the East Palace, they are people who can't be moved by the Prince's Mansion.

Their duty is to guard the East Palace, but as soon as someone comes with a holy decree, then they will immediately open the gates.

The dispatch power of the six rates of the East Palace is not in the hands of the East Palace itself, but in the hands of the emperor and the Empress Wu.

……

Between the words, the entire front yard of the East Palace has gradually become neat and orderly.

It was at this time that Li Xian returned from outside with two teams of Qianniuwei.

"Uncle, Uncle Wang, Changshi, we say it inside." Li Xian looked at the people who were about to give a salute, hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a relaxed expression: "Next, Gu is going to go to Zhuqing to discuss the affairs of the East Palace next." ”

Hearing that Li Xian had changed his name, everyone laughed.

In the Mingde Palace, Wei Hongmin came out of the inner courtyard and reported to Li Xian, who was sitting under the middle hall, about the placement of the inner courtyard of the East Palace.

Li Xian now has a concubine and a concubine, the crown princess Wei and the crown princess Cui.

Even though Webster is pregnant in August, he is still active, but Cui's is quiet, although he is not pregnant.

And Cui's doesn't have much ambition, which is why Webster still gets along with Cui's happily now.

The prince's family order has always been the prince's most trusted person, although Wei Hongmin is a new person transferred to the East Palace, he is the brother of the Wei family after all, and it is easy to get along.

Li Xian nodded lightly, put aside the affairs of the inner courtyard for the time being, and then looked at the people sitting behind the short ones in front of him, and then said easily: "Father's teachings, alone in the East Palace, should be focused on learning, except for uncle, Uncle Wang, and Changshi, there is still Sima ...... Hehe, it's still the old name and it's kind. ”

Xue Yuanchao is an old man in the East Palace who grew up with Li Zhi, and his wife is Li Yuanji's daughter and the county lord of Jing, so there is nothing wrong with Li Xian calling him an uncle.

Yao Lingzhang is now Zhan Shi of the East Palace, but Zhan Shi has a long history of the same sound, and it makes no difference if he is called so.

Su Liangsi is based on Sima in Yongzhou, and the prince of the school is more ordered, and it is more appropriate to call Sima.

When Li Xian said a few words, he divided the duties of the East Palace.

Xue Yuanchao, Li Xuan, Yao Lingzhang and Su Liangsi are the only ones, the core of the East Palace.

The other Jiang Yan, Wei Hongmin, and Cheng Wuzhong, who has not yet reported to duty, are still a little worse.

"In the East Palace, everything is called by His Royal Highness, but when you leave the East Palace, you still need to come according to the regulations." After a slight pause, Xue Yuanchao said seriously: "Since His Royal Highness wants to study, then the matter of lecturing in the East Palace must be picked up again, and in the future, he will lecture every morning and study the government in the afternoon, what do you think?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan, Yao Lingzhang and Su Liangsi nodded one after another.

"In this way, two people every day, each talking for an hour, tomorrow Xue and Su Sima, the day after tomorrow, Yao Zhanshi and the prince." Xue Yuanchao simply divided the time, and then said: "In this way, the two bachelors of the Prince Chongwen Pavilion will make up for it, in this way, one round in three days, then a day off, and then the line will start." ”

The corners of Li Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan groaned slightly, and said: "If you add a break, it can be counted once every five days, just take one day to take the assessment, and you can't just study and not get results; Ten days is exactly a day off, and it is more suitable for all officials. ”

"Good!" Xue Yuanchao, Yao Lingzhang, and Su Liangsi agreed at the same time.

After all, Li Xian still has to be assessed.

What he can learn is not for him to be scattered with the waves, but to check after all.

Li Xian's face suddenly became bitter, once the assessment was involved, the assessment results would definitely be sent to the emperor and empress, and at that time, if the results were not good, it would be difficult.

"Then the two scholars of the Prince Chongwen Pavilion, what do you recommend?" Xue Yuanchao sat on the left side and looked at everyone.

"Is there an outstanding candidate for the Kong family's generation?" Li Xuan was the first to speak.

Xue Yuanchao, Yao Lingzhang and Su Liangsi suddenly became solemn.

The two words of Confucius represent Confucian orthodoxy, so that the righteousness of filial piety can be added to Li Xian for a long time.

Yao Lingzhang thought for a while and said: "Baosheng Hou Kong Delun is old, inconvenient to move, he has two sons, Kong Chongji and Confucius sigh are ordinary qualifications, but Confucius sighs that the second son Kong Xian, Duan Ying, has been able to write articles at the age of ten, and ascended to the rank of Jinshi in the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty. ”

"Forget it." Su Liangji shook his head and did not speak again.

The crowd fell silent.

Li Xian bowed his head, he knew why everyone was reluctant to choose Kong Xian, it was because his name was only one word different from Li Xian, but this was enough to make people reject him.

"How is Yang Jiong?" Xue Yuanchao suddenly spoke, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Xuan nodded slowly, but at the same time said: "It can be, don't hide it from Xue Gong, Xuan also thought about Yang Jiong, but he is too young, will this be harmful to him?" ”

Sometimes, when people say you're too young, they may suppress you because you're too young.

Sometimes, when you say that you are too young, it is not because you are worried about your ability, but because you are worried about your qualifications and are easy to be attacked by others.

Yang Jiong is like this, Li Xuan remembers that none of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty had a good end.

"Yang Jiong is nine years old and the first, he was raised as a prodigy, eleven years old, to be made of Hongwenguan, to be made for sixteen years, three years of Shangyuan should be raised, and the secretary of the provincial school is still thirty years old, not young." Xue Yuanchao suddenly sighed lightly.

He knew that Li Xuan was not suppressing Yang Jiong, and the relationship between Li Xuan and Yang Jiong was not bad.

The reason why I say this is because Yang Jiong is too impressive as a prodigy, making people subconsciously think that he is very young.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will blow it.

Although the article is eternal, it is easy to be blown away for a while.

"Yes, this king hasn't noticed that Yang Jiong is already thirty, so it's okay, just Yang Jiong, his talent is enough to teach His Highness." A smile appeared on Li Xuan's face.

Li Xian looked at Li Xuan in surprise and said, "If Lone remembers correctly, Yang Jiong is writing an essay for Uncle Wang, I don't know if he has achieved it?" ”

"I haven't asked for a while, after all, it's next year." Li Xuan smiled, and then said: "Yang Jiong said that Du Xianyan is better at this kind of writing, so this matter mainly depends on Du Xianyan, but Du Xianyan is notoriously slow." ”

"Then how about summoning Du Xianyan into the Chongwen Pavilion?" Li Xian couldn't help but be a little eager to try.

As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Immediately, Su Liangsi spoke: "Your Highness only knows that Du Xun's words are amazing, but he doesn't know that he is arrogant, and there are few people in the entire Chang'an literary circle who have not been scolded by him." ”

"There are still a few vacancies in the prince's house that can be filled." Li Xuan suddenly opened his mouth coldly, and then looked at Xue Yuanchao seriously.

Xue Yuanchao stood solemn, looked at Li Xuan and said, "What about the other Chongwen Pavilion Bachelor?" ”

"Lu Zhaolin, Song Zhiwen, Su Wei, Li Qiao, choose one of them, if you want to come, you can let the prince give up." Li Xuan looked at Xue Yuanchao seriously.

The others kept their mouths shut at this time, not saying a word.

At that time, except for Wang Bo, everyone else was already here.

Xue Yuanchao looked at Li Xuan and said, "The prince is thinking about repairing the book?" ”

Repair the book.

Whether it is Taizong Li Shimin, or Emperor Li Zhi, even Li Jiancheng and Li Chengqian, Li Hong, and Li Xian have all repaired books.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Xian and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”

Everyone looked at Li Xian at the same time.

Although it is inevitable to repair the book in the East Palace, it is Li Xian who is in charge after all.

"Is it to revise the Book of Han?" Li Xian was slightly worried, but looked at Li Xuan seriously.

The crowd fell silent at the same time.

Li Xian was abolished, even Li Xian himself said that if he had listened to Li Xuan's words and directly edited the "Book of Han", he would not have gone to the step of being abolished.

Now that Li Xian has succeeded to the throne and wants to compile books, his first impression is also "Hanshu".

"It is not recommended to get started directly with the Book of Han." After Li Xuan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Mingde Hall was suddenly relaxed.

In the Book of Han, although Li Xuan is mainly aimed at the Empress Dowager Dou during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, don't forget that before the Empress Dowager Dou, there was also a Empress Lu.

It is not so easy to compile the Book of Han in its entirety.

Li Xuan looked at Xue Yuanchao and said, "Your Highness's participation in the compilation of books must be outstanding in your own literary skills after all...... Wait until under the teaching of many sages, His Royal Highness can have his own unique views, so that he can start, so that he can persuade the ministers at the same time, so that the world's scholars can admire. ”

Li Xuan spoke, and the ministers in the palace nodded at the same time.

Compiling books is indeed a shortcut to fame, but if you just do it for the sake of being famous, you don't have to.

If Li Xian wants to do this, he needs to make the world's scholars admire after all.

Xue Yuanchao raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan, nodded slowly, and said, "The prince has a long-term vision and good intentions, which is really rare." ”

Before the others could understand what they meant, Yao Lingzhang and Su Liangsi had already looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

Li Xuan smiled, and then said, "No matter what, let's build the foundation of the East Palace first." ”

"Good!" Xue Yuanchao responded decisively, and then looked at Li Xian: "In this way, starting tomorrow morning, His Highness will study the history collection." ”

"Whoa!" Although Li Xian's face was full of bitterness, he still gave up.

He could hear it, Xue Yuanchao said that Li Xuan's plan was obviously a long-term plan.

You still have to listen to it.

"It's government affairs." Xue Yuanchao looked at everyone and said: "You should always know the movements of the six departments, nine temples and five eunuchs, but if you feel that you need to ask the prince about it, you will immediately submit it to the East Palace for observation and study, so that the prince can master government affairs as soon as possible." ”

"Whoa!" Everyone bowed in unison.

The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty has always had the affairs of supervising the country, Li Jiancheng, Li Chengqian, Li Hong, and Li Xian, all of them.

Especially now, the emperor will visit Luoyang in the east next year to alleviate the key problems of the court and the central government.

Once the emperor leaves Beijing, most of the time, he is the crown prince in charge of the country.

Li Xian will inevitably do this in the future, and the closest one is likely to be in March next year.

At that time, it is likely to be Li Xian's first big exam.

In the second year of Tang Yonglong (681), recommended by Xue Yuanchao, the prince's left concubine, Yang Jiong was a bachelor of Chongwen Pavilion, two years earlier here.
