The corners of Li Si's mouth showed a hint of bitterness, and he said directly: "Don't hide it, the minister went to find the eldest prince, there are some small things to discuss." ”

Going out late at night is naturally not thinking about hanging out, in fact, if he really said so, he was a little careless, and it was easy to suspect that he was trying to hide something.

And when he didn't go by the way, he couldn't say that he was going to enter the palace or discuss something with other officials, so he directly explained that he was going to find the eldest prince.

Moreover, the emperor must have been well aware of these things, otherwise he would not have been summoned to the palace by the other party on the way, in fact, when he walked out of his own mansion, he knew these things very well.

So it's useless to hide it.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed softly and reminded: "What the courtiers want to do in private, who to meet in private, I shouldn't have asked, who can not have some privacy? But at such a time, the Prime Minister should act cautiously, and must not make such a mistake that is easy to be true." ”

The prime minister bowed his head and saluted, and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for reminding me, and the ministers should keep it in mind." ”

Then the emperor changed his words, and then asked: "I don't know if the prime minister visited late at night, but what is the matter in the court? It's just that in my opinion, the eldest brother does not have any official position, and he has nothing important in his hands, if there is something in the court, the lord should go to the Imperial History Mansion to discuss with Lord Cui, so it seems that it should be a private matter?"

If it is an ordinary official, it must follow the emperor's already good plan, and go on directly.

But the prime minister is the prime minister, he didn't follow the other party's words, but shook his head slightly.

He said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it is indeed a matter of the court, about the new writer of Taichang Temple a few days ago, the minister has not been in contact with it in private, but at first I think that His Royal Highness the eldest prince seems to have intersected with him in the Taichang Temple, and the minister also heard that the eldest prince asked for a word from him, so he thought that he could observe and observe, to see if he could be entrusted with a big task. ”

The emperor nodded and spoke: "The Prime Minister is in charge of a hundred officials, and there is a new official position in Taichang Temple, so your lord should naturally investigate, but this new writer seems to have some character problems." ”

Li Si opened his mouth and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true. However, what is his character, the minister believes in His Majesty's vision, maybe it is just that the minister does not understand it. ”

There are no loopholes in Li Si's words, the Prime Minister is in charge of hundreds of officials, and he has the right to ask any official if something goes wrong.

However, the new writer naturally does not have personal contact with the Prime Minister, and his identity is not equal, so it is normal to find the right person to understand it.

And the Taichang Temple is already closed, and business does not have to be discussed, so it is always right to find someone to understand it first.

The Emperor nodded slightly.

The conversation between the two was already coming to an end, and Li Si bowed and turned to leave.

And when he walked to the door of the palace, he still had palpitations when he saw the two guards with knives and guns, the palace guards have always been under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, which is a ghost gate for other people who dare to have two hearts, and they can't get in or out, this kind of thing is not too rare.

did not immediately return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, or go to the Grand Prince's Mansion to visit again, but wandered around the city at will.

Before the conversation in the palace, the contrast with the majesty of the palace was clearly another encounter in the old streets and alleys south of the city.

The eldest prince Chunqiu put his left hand behind him, and his right hand reached in front of him, walking in this alley, although he was looking for a place, but he still did not squint.

Because this alley is not very wide, walking in the alley, even if there is more garbage in front of some shops on both sides, or even if the door of someone's house is not closed, it will be easy to squeeze into sight.

The moon was full, the wind was not blowing gently, and the man was about to come to an end when his steps began to stop.

Turning around, facing further south, on the side of the most inconspicuous shop, a slightly dilapidated sign caught his eye.

Walking up to take a closer look, the signboard was written in large letters with the words 'Yuyu Zipu'.

Liu Chunsheng said in his own mouth that the word "swimming fish" is just a life.

These two words are very vivid, but in the eyes of the eldest prince Chunqiu, these two words have never been able to write the meaning of that life.

Writing one word in two words seems to have the meaning of doing more with less.

Chunqiu stood at the door of the shop and smiled slightly, in fact, he didn't know the meaning of these two words, Liu Chunsheng only told the old man who came to ask about those four words late at night, and the eldest prince just felt that it was not fresh enough.

Not fresh enough is not because the writing is not good, but because the other party made a very simple mistake in pursuit.

If you think about writing a word with two words, then what do you use to write these two words well?

He had seen the sacrificial words written by Liu Chunsheng, and His Majesty the Emperor had also recited them with both hands during the Zhengyang Festival, and he knew that Liu Chunsheng could write better words.

Just like his evaluation of Liu Chunsheng himself, his penmanship is smart, but the word "swimming fish" is a little constrained to write, and the eldest prince will not feel that he has lost his eyes, it should be that the other party deliberately wants to pursue something in these two words.

Although he and Liu Chunsheng have never had a deep friendship, he has seen a lot of things in that sacrificial speech, and he did not hide his explanation with His Majesty the Emperor for fear that His Majesty would get a treasure, but expressed all his praise.

He knew that Liu Chunsheng was a person who liked to make a big fuss within the radius, and now his evaluation of these four words is still the same.

When I looked up, I saw that the lights in the house were dim, and the door was wide open, so I walked in directly.

As soon as I entered the school, I saw that the young man had already taken off his official uniform and was carefully tracing a character on a shabby wooden table.

The eldest prince did not choose to stare at the other party's extremely impolite action, but first looked around, looking at the books written on the wall.

Liu Chunsheng's life doesn't seem to be any different from before, and it seems to be understandable to him.

It's just that the word shop has never opened the door again during the day, and he doesn't have much time to write the words he wants to write, because he has to go to Taichang Temple during the day, so now even if it's late at night, he still picks up the lamp to copy.

The change is more of the alley people in this street, you must know that a poor scholar who has just come to this alley, and even the rent of the shop is paid by copper plates, but now he has become a court official, a writer in Taichang Temple.

It's okay now, a few days ago, I was still watching jokes about what the two of them were going to do after closing the shop, but they were already officials when they came back.

Even in the alley next door, I heard about this kind of thing, and many people came to visit.

It wasn't until this hour that the door was still wide open, and I think it was because I had experienced a lot of helplessness when I was interrupted by a knock on the door during the writing process.

Liu Chunsheng himself naturally wouldn't talk to people about this kind of thing and wanted to gain a sense of superiority, but when he returned home from Taichang Temple at night, the official uniform was too eye-catching, and the people in this alley just liked to be lively, even Liu Chunsheng, who immediately changed out of his official uniform when he returned home, couldn't bear to see people with different shapes asking.

It was only said that he was looking for a small errand and eating with a mouthful.

But as the saying goes, the eyes of the masses are bright.

When some familiar people asked where they were serving, good fellow, what is the place of Taichang Temple? That is the place where Taichang Temple is in charge.

Just like the most inferior father-in-law and eunuch in the palace are also majestic existences outside, even if it is a sweeping place in Taichang Temple, it is not much different.

Besides, can the sweeper wear this official uniform?

Therefore, everyone regards this shop as the place where the dragon's energy is the most vigorous, thinking that they can get some luck.

Even the boss who persuaded Liu Chunsheng to rent his own shop at the beginning has been thinking about how to take it back so that he can enjoy this luck for himself, and regrets that if he didn't rent it to him, then at this time, what is the writer of Taichang Temple, isn't it himself? Although he can't read and write.

If you directly say before this, let him get out, but now that people have official status, how dare ordinary people?

Let's not talk about the ethereal things like dragon qi, that's the best, it's better to think about something practical first.

In the face of others' outstretched hands, Liu Chunsheng was really helpless, not because he was disgusted by this behavior, but because he had only been in office for a few days, and it was really not yet time to distribute the money.

Besides, the author of Taichang Temple is a small official position in the Tang Kingdom, so he is also a subordinate five-grade.

But in his own country, that is really not much, paying the rent every month plus his own life, occasionally adding some paper and pencil and the like, it is naturally enough, but just like the word 'saving' he wrote for Xu Chang'an, he can't always think that he has enough to live.

And those who can't ask for money naturally put their minds on the other party's calligraphy.

Often, when someone comes, they ask for a picture and then set up a stall in the city. The sign was branded with the court officials, the handwriting of the new writer, and the shouting of the voice, almost all four cities in the south, east, and west opened branches, and the income was much higher than his.

People don't know if he hired someone to sell it himself, ordinary people can afford to buy the books of court officials?

If it is false, who would dare to openly pretend to be a writer and sell it in the city?

So when it comes to reputation, this new writer can be said to be the worst among officials, large and small.

Just a few days after taking office, he already dared to sell words in the city in the name of a court official to earn money, what is the difference between this and the official position of consumption?

And the books in his shop are still unsold.

Liu Chunsheng didn't hear anyone talk about this, after all, he was an official appointed by His Majesty, how could he dare to provoke him? What if people wanted to make money?

So in the face of those who begged for words and said that they were shy and said that they were on credit, Liu Chunsheng had no choice but to write a picture for them, and in his opinion, it was really a very satisfying thing for the other party to match his own words.

Moreover, with the imperial court, it doesn't matter to him whether he collects money or not.

Just because he needs money doesn't mean he's a money-grubber.

But he didn't know that the person who begged for words only looked at him as an official, and the people who bought words were more out of His Majesty's hand-pick.

Whether it's begging for words or buying words, not many people really understand words.

The eldest prince can find some problems with Liu Chunsheng from the four characters of the fish shop outside, and that is because this person does have some problems.

Just like the sign outside the door, if you write one word with two words, how do you write those two words again?

How should we use the way of giving words to those who ask for words, and how should we face those who really understand words and want to come to ask for words?
