The discerning young eunuch handed over a cup of tea at the right time, and said respectfully: "This eldest lady of the Chu family must have done this for the sake of the kid surnamed Cheng under her." She is inevitably too arrogant, does the ancestor want to teach her a lesson? ”

Wang Xianfu hadn't been fooled like this for many years, his hands trembled with anger, and the teacup was unstable.

"Presumptuous." Wang Xianfu tried his best to calm down and scolded him, "The eldest lady of the Chu family is so noble, even if she wants to kill our family, what is the lesson?" ”

The young eunuch bowed his head and slapped himself twice loudly.

"Go back to the palace, Your Majesty hasn't slept well these days, let's go and spend time with Your Majesty."

——

Chu Zhixia bought a treasure box for Shen Zhou, which was used by the aristocratic woman to hold small jewelry, which was divided into one grid after another.

Shen Zhou seriously put a dry sweet snack of osmanthus sugar, pine nut candy, honey-pickled fruit, and candied cherry in it, which was fragrant and sweet. The snow-white frosting stained his hands, and when he thought of the scene on the street, he handed his hand to Chu Shixia's eyes expectantly.

He sat on the mat on the ground, and Chu Shixia sat on the window, one high and one low. The moonlight shone in his pupils, shining brightly on his eyes like deep pools.

Chu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, and then wiped him clean with a handkerchief with a smile.

Yuzhu was dumbfounded, she couldn't know what the two of them were doing, "Shen Zhou, you have now aroused the eldest lady, and you are more and more capable." ”

Shen Zhou didn't think so, and turned his head solemnly to Chu Zhixia and said, "You are not allowed to rub others like this." ”

It makes no sense to be overbearing.

"I've been serving you alone for more than ten years." Chu Shixia said lazily.

Shen Zhou hugged his treasure box with satisfaction, burying his head in the confusion of what he was messing with.

While doing embroidery, Yuzhu squeezed her eyebrows and said, "Our young master Shen Zhou used to be like an immortal who came up from the moon, but now he is more and more like a little boy in the world." ”

Chu Zhixia sighed.

——

Too learned.

Mr. Yang, who was on sick leave, seemed to have made up his mind that he couldn't afford to get sick, and Pei Zhang gave everyone a lesson for half a month.

He speaks kindly and is never aggressive, but he can always force people to retreat in embarrassment in the spring breeze and rain. The arrogant and indulgent students complained bitterly, scolded Pei Zhang behind their backs, and didn't dare to touch his moldy head, so they had to go to class honestly.

"Pei has read all of your exam papers." Pei Zhang walked into the school and said.

The lazy students all straightened their backs, and Bai Ziche sat in his place in a regular manner.

"The answer is a mess and outrageous." Pei Zhang sighed lightly.

The crowd dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Pei Zhang read out the names and grades according to the list, and the scholar returned the scrolls to his master one by one.

"Bai Yu, Ding wait."

"Deng Mian, in the third class."

"Chen Shuran, second class."

As soon as his name was called, Bai Ziche's heart sank a little.

Finally, Pei Zhang shouted: "Bai Ziche, second class." ”

Bai Ziche raised his head and met Pei Zhang's smiling eyes.

"Although the answer sheet of the Fourth Highness is mediocre, thanks to the support of your classmates, it turned out to be the best in the school." Pei Zhang said inexplicably, "I hope you will work harder, don't show Pei such an ugly answer sheet again." ”

Bai Yu in front of him let out a yin and yang weird laugh.

"It's just talk on paper, he's a person who didn't come to Taixue until he was a teenager in the painting academy, and it's good to be able to read all the words." Bai Yu said loudly, "Mr. Pei doesn't want to secretly cross Chen Cang because he pities him." ”

"That's what the third brother said." Bai Ziche followed his words and confessed, extremely deferential, "Thank you Mr. for your mercy." ”

"It's a good piece of paper, it's better for His Royal Highness to show Pei his real talent and learn it." Pei Zhang unfolded the folding fan and half-hid his smile.

Bai Ziche suddenly felt bad in his heart, and sat back in his seat without saying a word.

"Your Majesty now wants to reform the military system, but it is blocked by the cabinet and opposed by the ministers. According to the opinion of the Third Highness, what should I do? ”

——

Separated by a wall, the magnolia flowers in the courtyard are clean.

Chu Zhixia stood under the thick shade of the tree like ink, listening to Bai Yu's disdainful laughter from the school.

She was invited by Pei Zhang to come, but she didn't expect Pei Zhang to let her stand here and listen to him bow the fire of the third prince inside.

In Taixue, it is not only the prince and princess who listen to the study, but also the daughter of the Chen family and the Cui family. As long as the children of the dignitaries of the imperial capital are of good character and knowledgeable, they can also accompany them to study. Several families and surnames are intricate, and not all of them are one faction.

This means that no matter who says something in class, as long as it spreads, it will inevitably cause a storm.

——

The third prince furrowed his brows, and said with a heartfelt voice: "Your Majesty is the lord of the Ninety-Five, the lord of the world, he just does what he wants, why should the corrupt Confucian scholar put his beak." ”

"Although the bold cut is hearty, it is indispensable to hurt the muscles and bones." Pei Zhang did not refute him, but said, "The Third Highness acts vigorously and resolutely, but he loses mercy, and it is easy to go astray if he insists on going his own way, which is not the way of a gentleman." ”

Bai Yu was ordered by the prince's ear, Pei Zhang has a world-class talent, and he must be submissive and humble to this gentleman, and he can't play with his temper. He endured Pei Zhang for a long time, and the front foot had a Ding and other rolls, and the back foot said that he had no gentleman's way, and he couldn't bear it.

Bai Yu pointed the finger at Bai Ziche and sneered: "I don't have the appearance of a gentleman, I don't know Mr. Pei's beloved fourth brother, but what do you think?" ”

Pei Zhang didn't stop it, and looked at Bai Ziche with a smile.

Bai Ziche is not entering, nor is he retreating.

No matter what he answered, Bai Yu would not let him go today.

Bai Ziche sighed and said, "The student is stupid and doesn't know how to answer. ”

"It seems that sir, your proud protégé is no better than my domineering one." Bai Yu said contemptuously, "Bai Ziche, Mr. Pei came from Guanzhong thousands of miles away, and you are so perfunctory to him?" ”

"Students really don't know how to answer."

Bai Ziche arched his hand and said, "How to deal with the cabinet and how to persuade the courtiers is something Your Majesty should consider." If the courtiers are bent on studying how to exclude dissidents, how to form a party for personal gain, who will do things for the emperor, and who will work for the well-being of the people? ”

Bai Yu was very disgusted by his hypocrite speech, and was just about to make a sarcastic remark when he heard a low applause.

"If I am such a courtier in the court, why worry about the world and the whole world?"

The emperor was dressed in civilian clothes, and there was no one waiting for him, only a Chu Zhixia took a few steps back behind him.

Bai Ziche imperceptibly exchanged glances with Chu Zhixia.

"See Your Majesty!"

——

The people in the school were dismissed.

The emperor sat in Pei Zhang's position and carefully flipped through the miserable answer sheets. Pei Zhang and Chu Zhixia stood on either side of him respectively, and when the emperor bowed his head, the eyes of the two were cold and hot, and they clashed with each other.

Bai Ziche stood in front of the emperor in an orderly manner.

"You don't deserve to be a second class if you have this kind of knowledge." The emperor flicked the corner of the answer sheet, "This answer sheet is written plainly, not like what you just said." Are you hiding it, or is someone deliberately teaching you to say that? ”

The Emperor's eyes were full of inquiry.

Bai Ziche took a deep breath and said, "The third brother has been strong since he was a child, and his sons don't want to steal his limelight. In the end, if you succeed or fail, you should know it in your heart. Why do you need to care about the paper A, B, C, D, and the sons don't have to go to the field to gain fame. ”

"But you didn't expect that your brother would be so unsuccessful." The emperor snorted and tore Bai Yu's answer sheet in half, "Even if you deliberately give in, he won't be able to dominate." ”

"Erchen doesn't dare."

The emperor stared at him for a while before he said, "I know that you did not have the protection of your mother when you were a child, and you were used to being cautious, for fear of being bullied. It doesn't have to be like this in the future, if there is anything, just come and tell me. ”

Bai Ziche and Chu Zhixia let out a cold mockery at the same time in their hearts.

The bloodline of "Bai Ziche's father", which the emperor had been sleeping for more than ten years, seemed to wake up overnight and was eager to make up for him.

still sees that he is useful, and has no worries.

"Thank you, Father." Bai Ziche said respectfully.

"I have something to say with Mr. Pei and Miss Chu, just listen to it." The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed, and Bai Ziche obediently stood aside.

——

The sunset shone obliquely, and the sparse shadows of the flowers fell onto the floor of the school.

Chu Shixia and Pei Zhang sat opposite each other, and the emperor sat in the middle.

"Your Majesty said that Miss Chu had privately proposed military reform. Pei Moucai is shallow in learning, not as good as the Chu family, and asked Miss Chu to give advice. Pei Zhang politely poured her a cup of tea.

"I can't talk about teaching." Chu Shixia said modestly, "It's just a shallow opinion." ”

"Dare to ask Miss Chu, what is the crux of Yu Linwei and the forbidden army?"

Pei Zhang's question was bold, and he deliberately singled out Yu Linwei and the forbidden army to ask, which undoubtedly meant that he was referring to the rebellion case that happened not long ago.

"Yu Linwei and the forbidden army were originally close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and they were composed of outstanding people selected from the children of the family. The children of the family have practiced martial arts since childhood, and their bodies are strong, and there are even people with unique skills. But it is precisely because of his family background that he becomes a soldier with one surname. ”

This system originated at the time of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The people who followed Emperor Taizu's achievements were all killed with real swords and real guns, the tiger father had no dog son, and no one questioned the ability of Yu Linwei and the forbidden army.

But now, the Yulinwei and the Forbidden Army have become a place for the families to gild. The power of the family is intertwined, the soldiers are weak, and talents like Yan Du are even rarer.

"Pei is not talented, and he is slightly the same as what Miss Chu saw." Pei Zhang nodded and said, "As for why the courtiers disagree, Pei is willing to break down one or two for His Majesty." ”

Chu Zhixia was looking at Pei Zhang, but he wanted to hear what Pei Zhang could say that defied the world's condemnation.

"The children of the family are under the shadow of the family and enter the Yulin Guard and the forbidden army. If His Majesty chooses someone from other places, there will be no eyes and ears for them in the palace. Pei Zhang stretched out a finger, "This is one of them." ”

The Emperor frowned.

"If you can't enter the palace to find a job with your family, you can either go to the front line to fight for your life in exchange for military merits, or you can only do nothing at home and lose the lintel." Pei Zhang said leisurely, "This is the second. ”

Third, the military household system relies on the military tun.

However, relying on Yongxue Pass to block Beidi from crossing the snow river to the north, there was no war in the Central Plains for a long time. The fields of the military tun were encroached upon by the gentry and eunuchs, and if the foundation of the military household system was to be shaken, it was necessary to liquidate the acres. At that time, I don't know how many people's interests will be touched, and it will inevitably be out of control.

Chu Zhixia's heart was like a mirror, and when he heard Pei Zhang say it word by word, he couldn't help but admire his courage.

"What do you think I should do?" The emperor's face was solemn.

Pei Zhang smiled without saying a word and looked at Chu Zhixia.

Chu Zhixia knew that Pei Zhang was unwilling to do this offending thing alone, and the overall situation was current, and she could not be allowed to be a turtle with a shrunken head.

She said helplessly: "What the third prince just said, although it is biased, there is a sentence that is good. ”

"Your Majesty is the Lord of the Ninety-Five, the Lord of the World." Chu Zhixia said loudly, "Your Majesty wants to implement this national policy that benefits all the people in the world, and whoever stops it will be a rebellious minister and thief." ”

"Just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys."

"Ask for a good review ~~~"
