Life is often full of accidents, and the next day Fang Chongyong still failed to go to the "juvenile class" to sign up, because Hongwenguan actually closed classes!

There's a big event in the palace! Concubine Wu Hui passed away suddenly!

There was no news of critical illness coming out before, it can be said that he just left, and he didn't even have time to leave his last words!

This sudden change frightened Fang Chongyong!

The day before, Gao Lishi was still hinting to himself that he was hesitant to suggest that Li Longji should do it.

As a result, there was news of Concubine Wu Hui's death in the palace today.

Li Longji ordered that the center stop working for one day, and all affiliated schools such as Guozijian, including Hongwenguan, were suspended for three days!

Could it be that Gao Lishi moved Li Longji, and then Li Longji took advantage of the situation to poison Concubine Wu Hui?

It's scary!

Fang Chongyong suddenly felt a chill all over his body. It stands to reason that Li Longji shouldn't have done it so quickly, is it really a coincidence?

For a whole day, Fang Chongyong locked himself in his study, meditating and reflecting on what he had done wrong.

Fang Chongyong felt that he might have underestimated Li Longji's selfishness and ruthlessness.

……

In that year, Li Longji built a building in Xingqing Palace, called "Calyx Xianghui Building", which symbolized the brotherhood with his brothers and complemented each other.

When they were young, they had several brothers, let Emperor Li Xian, King Li Longyi of Sui, etc., drink and write poems in the building all day long, enjoy themselves, and also specially sew long pillows and quilts, and sleep together when they drink too much.

The relationship is so good that I wear a pair of pants.

But Li Longji never allowed his older brothers and brothers to get involved in politics, and these were idle princes who did not participate in any government affairs.

Now, Li Longji came to the Calyx Xianghui Building, sitting on the bed with his arms folded and pondering, his face was melancholy.

Concubine Wu Hui didn't know what she was stimulating, she suddenly died last night, and the cause of death was unknown! All of a sudden, Li Longji was very passive!

If the rumors are allowed to ferment, then sooner or later there will be rumors that "the saint poisoned Concubine Wu Hui". This is what Li Longji does not want to see.

So not long after Concubine Wu Hui took her last breath, Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to release his words to the court: Concubine Wu Hui was frightened to death because she saw the ghosts of the former prince and other three kings!

He has already spoken, and as for the courtiers believing it or not, it's up to them.

I believe that in this kind of thing, no one dares to make a mistake.

"Lux, I want to posthumously crown Concubine Wu Hui as the queen, what do you think?"

Li Longji asked with a long sigh.

Gao Lishi understood and said: "This is very good, it is better to let out the rumor that he wants to establish King Shou as the crown prince." ”

is posthumously crowned Concubine Wu Hui as the queen, and it is rumored that King Shou will be the crown prince, I have to say that Gao Lishi has already figured out Li Longji's inner thoughts.

"Well, let's do it."

Li Longji nodded slightly, he found that Gao Lishi didn't move, so he added: "Go to Jixian Academy, and call Master He here to see me." ”

Bachelor He is He Zhizhang, not only writes well, but also the articles and poems are first-class.

"Concubine Wu Hui's eulogy, written by Master He, couldn't be better."

Colliers complimented softly.

"yes, yes."

Li Longji nodded indifferently, not knowing whether he was sad about Concubine Wu Hui's death, or if he was fantasizing about something else, as if he was stunned just now.

At this moment, his mood is a little complicated, as if he is sighing for the passage of time, and he seems to be relieved, and the burden on his shoulders has been removed.

"By the way, Lux, how about King Zhong's side?"

Li Longji asked casually, without even looking at Gao Lishi. The topic jumped, and there seemed to be no warning. He is often like this, and sometimes Li Linfu can't fully adapt to it.

Only Colliers always knows what Li Longji is thinking.

"Back to the saint, is it the thing that squeezed out the quota of Li Jiaohong's museum?"

Colliers asked cautiously.

"Yes, what news is coming from the Ten Kings' Mansion? What was the reaction of King Chung? ”

Li Longji asked quietly.

"Ten Princes' Mansion" is located in the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City Daming Palace south of Yongxingfang and Xingningfang, now still called "Ten Princes' Mansion", later renamed "Sixteen Princes' Mansion", is the Tang Kaiyuan 13 years of the newly built, the princes concentrated in the place where they live.

On the surface, the "Ten Kings' Mansion" is just a residence built by the royal family. However, the practical significance and influence are extraordinary, leaving a strong mark on the history books.

The power of these princes has been greatly limited because of this mansion and the various rules set by Li Longji!

It is not an exaggeration to sum it up as a "beautiful cage".

In order to prevent the children of the royal family from participating in politics, Li Longji's approach was very strict, not only living in a centralized manner, but even strictly forbidding the kings from associating with the ministers.

Inside and outside the mansion are the eyes and ears sent by Li Longji, some of the kings know, some are very hidden, and all the actions in the Ten Kings' Mansion are monitored by Li Longji at all times.

Therefore, the lives of these princes are not too easy, and they can even be said to be very depressing.

"King Guangping (Li Li) was not dissatisfied, but ...... The king of Jianning County (Li Qi) seemed to be a little unconvinced, thinking that Fang Chongyong was not qualified to enter the Hongwen Pavilion to study. ”

Colliers carefully organized his words and spoke slowly.

For these princes and grandsons, Gao Lishi has always kept a distance from them and does not easily evaluate these people.

"That's right."

Li Longji was thoughtful.

Whether it is Li Li, Li Qi, or even the Li family, they were actually studying in Hongwen Hall before. Seeing that his eldest brother was replaced by outsiders, Li Qi was unhappy, which was actually a very normal thing.

In their opinion, Fang Youde is just a loyal dog of Li Longji, and Fang Chongyong is just a puppy dog.

It's just that the dog cubs and their princes and grandchildren will enter the Hongwen Pavilion together, and they will pinch their noses as if there is no such thing. can replace Li Jiao, the imperial grandson, then it can't be tolerated!

"In this way, the king of Nanyang County (Li Department) and the king of Jianning County will go on strike together, and they don't have to go to Hongwen Hall in the future."

Li Longji waved his hand, and with one sentence, he decided the stay of the two emperors and grandsons.

"Will the three emperors and grandsons strike at one time, will the government and the opposition criticize it? The saint is ......"

Colliers leaned over and asked in a whisper.

"Let them guess."

Li Longji waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say more.

Colliers bowed and retreated, his heart unfazed.

Everyone thought that Li Longji was still immersed in the pain of losing his concubine, but Gao Lishi understood that his master, the son of Tang Dynasty and the saint in Chang'an, was already setting up a game.

With the death of Concubine Wu Hui, everything will be different.

Concubine Wu Hui is a trump card to suppress the crown prince. Now that the prince is gone, Concubine Wu Hui is gone, and the Shou King, who was favored because of Concubine Wu Hui, will gradually fade out of people's sight.

The situation is about to enter chaos, and the next round of layout must begin, otherwise the court game will not be balanced.

What's more, Li Longji is thinking about his daughter-in-law, Yang Yuhuan, who is the main chamber of King Shou, and he is about to think about it.

If you don't start, you are unwilling; started, and felt that the steps were a little big, after all, the wedding of King Shou back then was presided over by Li Longji himself!

On the one hand, he wanted to cover up his true intentions, and on the other hand, he wanted to put his daughter-in-law on his bed, Li Longji could be said to be heartbroken.

Even with Colliers, he was scared all day long.

If something happens to the saint, then what should this Datang do?

Colliers pondered worriedly. As for whether Yang Yuhuan would want to die if he was picked up by his father-in-law, and whether King Shou would be uncomfortable if his wife was taken away, he didn't think about it at all.

Perhaps, this is life.

With complicated feelings, Gao Lishi called He Zhizhang, who had been waiting for a long time, to the Calyx Xianghui Building of Xingqing Palace.

This year, He Zhizhang is in his seventies and almost eighty years old, he is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he also serves as a bachelor of Jixian Academy. But to be honest, his presence in the center is more symbolic than practical.

There is nothing to deal with now, so He Zhizhang's life is very leisurely and happy.

Every day, I either fish at work, or I go to drink after work after fishing.

"Holy man, please mourn."

He Zhizhang, who was wearing a crimson court dress, had gray temples, but he still looked in good spirits. It's a little thin, and it even smells of alcohol.

People his age have seen everything. Every day is no wine and no joy, Li Longji is also used to it, and he doesn't mind it.

"Ji Zhen (He Zhizhang's words), write a eulogy for me."

Li Longji said with a sigh.

Concubine Wu Hui?

He Zhizhang was stunned for a moment, and his heart was slightly unhappy.

Everyone in the court knows what kind of virtue Concubine Wu Hui is, and she is simply a shrunken and low-profile version of Wu Meiniang. There is nothing but a good skin, and the ambition is terrifying.

Hearing that she was finally dead, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, I don't have to worry about the repetition of the story of Wu Zhou decades ago.

However, now Li Longji asked He Zhizhang to pinch his nose and write a eulogy for Concubine Wu Hui, and He Zhizhang felt disgusted to the extreme.

"Saint, what do you want to write?"

He Zhizhang asked with a crossed salute.

This is an important question!

The coffin is conclusive, and when a person dies, he must be evaluated, and specifically for the concubines, it is the so-called identity!

In what capacity Concubine Wu Hui was buried, it was very important, and it was even related to the inheritance of imperial power.

"I want to bury Concubine Wu Hui with the queen's gift."

Li Longji said in a deep voice.

"Don't be a saint!"

He Zhizhang was anxious when he heard it, if he was buried with the queen's ceremony, and then let him, a scholar of Jixian Academy, write a eulogy...... Isn't this nailing him to the pillar of shame for people to "pay respect" to?

Now He Zhizhang can say that he doesn't care much about life and death, but he can't bear this problem after his death.

The evening festival is not guaranteed, that's what I said.

"What's not to do? If I say it, should you be a deaf ear? ”

Li Longji scolded in displeasure, his face covered with dark clouds.

"Wechen can't be edicted."

He Zhizhang bowed and bowed, bending down and bowing down.

Looking at the other party's slightly rickety figure and the already gray temples, Li Longji also softened.

If there are so many people, why bother an old man who is half in the dirt?

"Well, stand down."

Li Longji sighed, shook his head helplessly and said.

Writing a eulogy is not something that others can't do, but they don't have a compulsion like He Zhizhang.

The ministers want to save face, doesn't he, the emperor, want face?

After He Zhizhang left, Gao Lishi couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "There are two more places in the Hongwen Pavilion now, and the arrangement of the saint is ......."

"Let the brother send the two children to study, it's all a mess anyway."

Li Longji waved his hand impatiently.

……

The history of Kobunkan is quite glorious!

In the second month of Li Erfeng's accession to the throne, he ordered to gather 200,000 volumes of books in the Hongwen Hall and set up the "Hongwen Museum", which was the place where the state collected books and the place where the emperor recruited literary scholars.

For a time, Chu Liang, Yao Silian, Cai Yungong, Xiao Deyan and other talents were gathered. Every time he goes on an expedition, Er Feng will discuss the military aircraft with the Hongwen Pavilion strategists. This is the fast lane to participate in politics, as long as it is appreciated by the emperor, you can immediately ascend to the throne.

However, those are long gone.

During the Kaiyuan period, the signs of the decline of the Hongwen Hall were very obvious, and its function of participating in politics and discussing politics had been taken away by the Jixian Academy, leaving only the two functions of collecting books and teaching students.

The three-day period had passed, and Fang Chongyong came to the outside of the city walls of Taiji Palace alone. After presenting his "certificate of enrollment", he was taken to the territory of Menxia Province by the Jinwuwei officials on duty.

Hongwen Hall is located in the Imperial City, but the specific situation is difficult to explain.

Hongwen Hall has two places in Chang'an: the first is located on the side of Hongwen Hall in Taiji Palace, and then it is located in the south of Menxia Province, and the second is located in the east of Menxia Province outside the Rihua Gate of Daming Palace.

There is also one in Luoyang.

This was all heard by Fang Chongyong from Li Kui, as for where the Hongwen Pavilion in Luoyang was, what was the use, he didn't know, and he didn't care.

Menxia Province was the central review organ of the Tang Dynasty, and was in charge of the same confidential affairs as the Zhongshu Province, participating in national politics, and was responsible for reviewing government decrees and signing seals.

The decree documents drafted by the Zhongshu Province must be verified by the Ministry of Men and Departments, and those that pass the examination shall be handed over to the Shangshu Province for implementation.

Theoretically speaking, if the violation of laws, regulations, etiquette, etc., is unqualified, the ministry has the right to refute it and request a new draft. All ministers' recitals must also be examined by the Ministry of Men and Lower Provinces, and then delivered to the Zhongshu Province to be submitted to the Emperor.

Just theoretically.

In short, Hongwen Pavilion is in Menxia Province, which shows that he is close to the core of Datang's decision-making center!

An elegant scribe who looked to be in his thirties received Fang Chongyong, and then led him to the library in the Taiji Palace, and handed Fang Chongyong a paper scroll on the table, which was not very large.

"I'm Wang Jin, a university scholar, and this is your textbook."

Wang Jin said with a smile, very friendly and warm, without any arrogance. To be honest, a student who entered Hongwen Hall at a young age like Fang Chongyong would not have a very simple background.

"I don't think there's a lot of content."

Fang Chongyong picked up the so-called scroll book textbook, gestured in his hand, and said disapprehantly.

How much content can such a "volume, volume" scroll book have?

It doesn't take him ten days to memorize it! The teaching in the Hongwen Pavilion is really lax.

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.

"Well, you don't seem to have figured it out. This is just a table of contents for a textbook. The real textbook is "The Beginner's Notebook", which is all on the shelves over there, and you can take that one volume and put it back after reading it. ”

Wang Jin pointed to the bookshelves on the left side of the door of the library building and said, some books were placed high on the shelves, and Fang Chongyong couldn't reach them at all, and the scrolls were dense and couldn't be seen at a glance.

Didn't you say that it was easy to mix qualifications at Hongbunkan?

Fang Chongyong looked at Wang Jin with a puzzled expression and asked, "That's all there is to the textbook, right?" ”

"Well, that's the same one."

Wang Jin couldn't help but laugh and pointed to the bookshelf on his right and said.
