The New Year is approaching, and while the East Palace is getting busier and busier, it is becoming more and more difficult to see people.

Li Xuan entered the Mingde Hall and heard the voice of Xue Yuanchao teaching Li Xian inside, so he retreated.

There is only one lesson left in Li Xuan's lecture to Li Xian a year ago, and it will be next year after the lecture.

There is still a lesson next year, and then Li Xuan should leave for Changzhou.

Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace, and at this moment, a figure flashed, and Li Xuan paused.

"Lord Wang." The voice of the chamberlain suddenly sounded on the side.

Li Xuan looked back at the waiter he had never seen before: "What's the matter?" ”

The chamberlain bowed down and said cautiously: "Her Royal Highness the princess is invited!" ”

Li Xuan subconsciously looked around, making sure that this was the East Palace, not Princess Taiping's Shuyuan Palace, and frowned and asked, "When did the princess come to the East Palace?" ”

"Half an hour ago, Lord Wang, please." The chamberlain took a step back, then cautiously led the way inside.

Li Xuan nodded, followed the chamberlain inside, and asked curiously, "What's your name, why has this king never seen you by the princess's side?" ”

"The slave and maid Sun Youde have been in the palace before, and this time the princess came out and brought the slave and maid." Sun Youde explained carefully.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, he was just a little surprised, why Sun Youde was so cautious.

It can be seen that this caution is not deliberately aimed at Li Xuan today, but something from the bones, which makes Li Xuan feel very curious.

Princess Taiping, how do you train her subordinates on weekdays?

The east palace is in the side hall, and the heating is coming.

Several waitresses in pink gauze skirts stood on both sides, and Princess Taiping, who was wearing a green breast-length skirt, sat alone behind the table, writing something.

"Your Highness." Li Xuan stopped in front of the door and looked around in surprise, this side hall of the East Palace, he had never been there.

"This is where the eldest brother deliberately left it for Taiping, and the second brother didn't change after that, and when he came to the third brother, it was the same." Princess Taiping dried the written stationery, then put it in an envelope and handed it to the maid beside her, who took the envelope and immediately withdrew.

"It's just that Taiping rarely comes here, so no one knows." Princess Taiping stood up, pointed to the top of the left and said to Li Xuan, "Uncle Wang, please take a seat." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed his hand, then sat down in his position, looked up at Princess Taiping and asked, "The New Year is approaching, I don't know if there is anything in the princess's palace that has not been prepared, and the minister can help here." ”

"Nothing else, just one thing." Princess Taiping raised her head and looked at Li Xuan with a sly expression.

Li Xuan arched his hand and said seriously: "Please also ask Your Highness to instruct, the minister will do his best." ”

Princess Taiping must have something to do with him today, but this is the East Palace, does Wei know about it?

"There's one thing Uncle Wang may not know." Princess Taiping asked people to serve fragrant tea, and then looked at Li Xuan with a straight face: "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the father and the queen are ready to invite the kings, the kings of the counties, the princes, the princes of the country, the princes of the counties, the prime minister, the shangshu, the temple and other ladies and sons of the mansions to have a banquet in the two halls and celebrate the New Year together. ”

After Princess Taiping finished speaking, she glanced at Li Xuan deeply.

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, and immediately understood.

This is the real big guy coming to an end.

When the princess chooses a son-in-law, she chooses not only her son, but also her parents, brothers and sisters, all of whom have to be examined.

After all, no matter what, that's my daughter's life.

Empress Wu's mind was uneasy, but the emperor must take a serious look.

……

Li Xuan became serious, he was afraid that he would also be on the scene that night, and he groaned and arched his hand: "Princess, please speak." ”

Princess Taiping said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wang, the queen mother intends to come up with questions to teach everyone, and the palace doesn't know what questions to come up with, is it more appropriate in this case?" ”

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, she could hear the melancholy in Princess Taiping's words.

It's finally time to get married.

From a little panicked at the beginning, to the whole world being forced to calm down like this, until now she is a little steady, Princess Taiping has grown up terrible during this time.

"Your Highness." Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "Although this matter is a question from His Royal Highness, in fact, the final examiner is His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, in addition, the Queen of Heaven asked His Highness to ask the question, in fact, it is also to let the princess show herself in front of everyone, so this topic must be to the right identity." ”

"What Uncle Wang said is reasonable." Princess Taiping nodded seriously, what Li Xuan said, she actually vaguely understood in her heart, so she looked for Li Xuan in order to be safe.

"The so-called things in the world are nothing more than the upper and lower universes, throughout the ages, and then there are the four dimensions and eight virtues of filial piety and faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame, so His Royal Highness's question is nothing more than choosing one of these four." Li Xuan arched his hand and said, "It depends on what the princess thinks." ”

"Four dimensions and eight virtues, filial piety and loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and honesty, this is really a big article." Princess Taiping looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

It is rare that Li Xuan can give the most suitable direction for the background in a very short period of time, and this ability is really extraordinary.

"In fact, there is no need for any articles, when the time comes, everyone can write a poem, a new poem that has not been done before, think of that situation, no one should dare to bully the king, with the eyes of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, you should be able to see a lot." Li Xuan arched her hand slightly, and looked at Princess Taiping with a slight scrutiny.

"Taiping knows what to do." Princess Taiping nodded slowly.

"And so, the minister retired." Li Xuan gave up.

"I'm sorry Uncle Wang." Princess Taiping smiled, and Li Xuan retired.

After Li Xuan left, Princess Taiping sighed lightly and looked to the side: "You say, what about Uncle Wang's suggestion?" ”

Dressed in green clothes and with a firm expression, Bi Gou walked out from behind the curtain: "Your Highness." ”

……

Princess Taiping nodded slightly, looked at Bi Gou and asked, "What topic did you draw up by yourself?" ”

Bi Gou bowed, and then said with a slightly wry smile: "The minister's mind is skillful, and the title is three poems similar to Han Sima. ”

As he spoke, Bi Gou handed over a note, took it from the maid beside him, and finally put it on Princess Taiping's table.

The princess looked down and saw thirteen words written on the note: "Zixu Fu", "Shanglin Fu" and "Nagato Fu".

"What does that mean?" Princess Taiping looked a little dazed, this has no beginning and no end.

Bi Gou said with a wry smile: "In the Han Dynasty, Sima Xiang was as poor as the beginning, and Zhuo Wenjun, the daughter of the noble family, wanted to marry, but Emperor Jing was not good at poetry, so he could not be reused, and then occasionally offered "Zixu Fu" to Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu was called, and the palace made "Shanglin Fu", "Zixu Fu" and "Shanglin Fu" were called "Son of Heaven Safari Fu". As for "Nagato Fu"? ”

"Changmen Palace, this palace still knows, this is written by Emperor Wu after the abolition of the Chen family." Princess Taiping nodded.

Bi Gou continued to arch his hand and said: "But this endowment can also reflect Zhuo Wenjun in turn, and he married with his heart, but in the end, his husband changed his mind, and when Sima Xiangru changed his mind, he didn't even show his face, but he just asked people to bring back a letter with thirteen words: 1235678900000000. ”

"Thirteen words?" Princess Taiping immediately looked down at the words on the note, which added up to exactly thirteen words.

Surprised, Princess Taiping said with emotion: "With such a delicate mind of yours, I'm afraid that people who don't have some skills can't see through it at all." ”

After all, when Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun changed their relationship, Sima Xiangru was more than forty years old, Zhuo Wenjun was thirty years old, and the woman who caused Sima Xiangru to change his mind was only sixteen years old." Bi Gou said his last intention.

Princess Taiping was surprised, but she also understood Bi Gou's thoughts.

Men are always thinking differently.

"But this kind of topic may not be suitable at that time, and it seems that the princess is a little childish." Bi Gou smiled helplessly, and arched his hand: "The intentions of the king of Nanchang are much better, filial piety and loyalty, courtesy, righteousness and shame, four dimensions and eight virtues, but in fact, what can really make the princess choose is only one filial piety, which is magnificent, and the minister uses honesty and shame, which is biased." ”

"At least your intentions are good." Princess Taiping still appreciated it and said: "After all, Uncle Wang has been through major events for a long time, and the pattern is naturally more open. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment." Bi Gou seriously bowed his hand.

Princess Taiping waved her hand and said: "Actually, your knowledge is very good, the reason why this palace uses you is because Uncle Wang said that you have the talent of the prime minister, don't say anything now, but as long as the future growth is smooth, the book is the foundation, the prime minister is hopeful, and the palace is just laid out in advance." ”

"The princess is open-minded." Bi Gou praised seriously, Princess Taiping actually said these words directly, which was really surprising.

"So this palace asks you, what do you think after you are admitted to the Jinshi, do you want to go to the local state and county, or go to the Yushitai." After a slight pause, Princess Taiping said: "This palace can introduce you to Uncle Wang, and Uncle Wang recommends that you at least follow the old path of Yao Chong and Song Jing, first supervise the imperial history, and then the local officials." ”

Bi Gou knew that Princess Taiping was talking about Yao Chong, Yao Chong is now a county magistrate in Henan County, from the seventh grade, and it is no accident that in a few years, he will serve as the imperial historian.

The friend of the king of Nanchang in the imperial history platform is the servant Shi Di Renjie, known as the "Wei Zheng" of the current dynasty.

Bi Gou groaned slightly, and then said: "Yao Chong, Song Jing, have a lot of talents, and a lot of merit, although the ministers have to be recommended, but it is impossible to supervise the imperial history in one step, besides, under the command of the king of Nanchang, there is also He Jizhen......"

"He Jizhen returned to the court, although his father called him back, but he has basically decided that he will return to Changzhou to serve as the county commander, and he will not stay in the court to supervise the imperial history, but you, you have also worked hard to repair the book this time, and a superintendent of the imperial history of the eight products......" Although Princess Taiping felt that it was not bad before, but now she is groaning, but she still feels that it is not enough.

Princess Taiping raised her head, looked at Bi Gou and said, "You still need to find Uncle Wang for this matter, don't worry, this palace will arrange it for you." ”

"Thank you, princess." Bi Gou bowed deeply, and then slowly retreated.

Princess Taiping bowed her head, quickly wrote a letter, handed it to the maid on the side, and said, "Give it to Uncle Wang of Nanchang." ”

……

The river is cold, above the Wei water, and the boat goes east.

Li Xuan looked at the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What is the prince thinking?" Tian Youyan, dressed in a gray robe, walked up from behind.

Li Xuan raised the letter in his hand and said in a low voice: "The princess recommends it, Bi Gou." ”

Tian Youyan glanced at the letter and said softly: "The princess is deliberately using her own people!" ”

"If the princess can have the ambition of the princess of Pingyang, it is not a bad thing, Bi Gong's character is not bad, if she can be in the Jinshi, it is also a good thing, it is rare to supervise the imperial history, but the secretary of the provincial school can also be a scholar." Li Xuan already had a way between words.

Tian Youyan looked at Li Xuan in surprise and said, "But the secretary of the provincial school is generally the champion, and Bi Gou can be the champion?" What about He Zhizhang? ”
