Chapter 25: Frightened

The graceful and luxurious princess is quite good at it, seeing Meng Xiaoshan, she also came to a courtesy among scholars and talents, which scared Xiaoshan Cheng into fear. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Of course, Meng Xiaoshan, who has modern thoughts, his so-called 'sincere fear' is only pretended. Because he knew that what the royal family wanted was decency, that is, the external respect of others, so Xiaoshan took out his knowledge of TV dramas and tried his best to be respectful.

Hearing the princess's praise, Meng Xiaoshan was very consciously humble, after all, his so-called literary poetry is nothing more than a patchwork of many poems he has learned, isn't there a sentence called "Three hundred Tang poems, can't compose poems, but also...", hehe, you will know! Of course, Xiaoshan didn't blindly plagiarize other people's poems, he himself imitated the poems he had learned to 'create' or put them together!

As mentioned last time, the princess praised Xiaoshan for her talent and literary brilliance, while Xiaoshan was self-conscious and modest and did not dare to be praised!

When the princess saw Xiaoshan blindly humble, she praised him in her heart, and she couldn't help but be good at writing and cultivating. But she had the intention to tease him, and as soon as her phoenix eyes turned, she immediately took it into account and said to the emperor: "Brother Emperor, my sister heard a good poem a few days ago, it is this one: Immortals live in the depths of the clouds,

The prince and grandson Mo Wangchen.

Houmen strayed into the deep sea,

It is difficult to clear the bones and provoke the mortal body.

What does the emperor's brother think of this poem?"

Hearing this poem, Xiaoshan's heart jumped 'grunt, cluck...'. This poem, which he was inspired by at the time, is a copy, but its meaning is very obvious. It is nothing more than an expression of the protagonist Meng Xiaoshan's yearning for the gods and immortals, his fear of the world and the fear that he will be trapped in it and difficult to be alone. But it is precisely because of this that those in power will know about it, and they will definitely be disgusted. Xiaoshan understood that since ancient times, the more self-conscious the person who did not want to be in charge of everything, he would often be hated by the authorities, and even punished or even executed by the superiors. Now that the princess has put out this poem, it is precisely at the time of the emperor that Xiaoshan is worried that the emperor will regard himself as this kind of person, in case he blames it, but he doesn't know how big or small?

At this moment, the emperor suddenly heard this poem and his face was clear. In fact, it is obvious that the emperor knows this poem, and he remembers that his imperial sister has mentioned it, and he is thinking that his imperial sister deliberately mentioned it this time, and she must have wanted to play tricks on filial piety. This emperor is also very young, not what Xiaoshan thought, the emperor pretended not to know, and deliberately echoed: "Oh!! this poem is also written by Chen Aiqing?"

Although the emperor's expression did not show anger, Xiaoshan did not dare to hold it up, worried that the emperor would condemn him, saying that he longed for the freedom of the gods and hated the officialdom. , Xiaoshan hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Please forgive the emperor! The minister is not deeply involved in the world, and it is really the crime of the minister to put nonsense words, and I hope to be grac!!ious."

Meng Xiaoshan's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, making the emperor and the princess stunned.

The princess didn't expect this filial piety to react so violently, the original poem, he was blindly modest, but this poem, he blindly asked for guilt. The princess frowned and said puzzledly: "Jiang You, what's wrong with you? ”

This emperor, in fact, has only just ascended the throne, and the emperor's skills are not enough, and he has no reaction to this kind of rebellious poem, but some do not understand, this is the emperor asked: "Chen Aiqing, what is the crime of Qing, quickly calm down!" I like the style of this poem very much. Well, it feels like this poem is very expansive. From immortals to mortals, from mortals to Houmen, it's very good! However, I don't understand a little, why is 'Houmen as deep as the sea'?"

Meng Xiaoshan looked up at the emperor and found that his face was not angry, and he was puzzled when he heard his words, and what he was puzzled about was that the emperor really didn't know the meaning of 'Houmen is as deep as the sea', or did he deliberately use the question to warn himself? Because he was not clear, he replied very carefully: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister will not dare to talk nonsense." The minister is indeed guilty, and he shouldn't chew the magnates of the Houmen", seeing that the emperor still didn't react, and didn't dare to delay, Xiaoshan immediately changed his language strategy, and with the eloquence of modern people, he changed from passive to active, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister actually has words to persuade him." Since ancient times, there have been many drawbacks in the Houmen, and the officialdom among the powerful is everywhere. The minister thinks that those who have a knight cannot have too much power; officials, avoid forming factions! If both courts are in place, the danger of this sincerity is also the meaning of 'Houmen Deep Sea'!" This time, Xiaoshan imitated the style of literary language, combined with the history he had studied, especially the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, and stated the pros and cons of the officialdom Houmen.

The emperor silently recited, 'Those who have a knight cannot have power, and those who are officials, do not form a party or faction' several times, suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Meng Xiaoshan, and said with a serious face: "Chen Aiqing, I need capable ministers." I think that back then, when Zhongqing was seventeen years old, he led the enemy for me and almost lost his life, and I felt very much. Now, I have been on the throne for two or three years, and the court is indeed as Qing said, and there are few capable ministers. Therefore, I need Qingfu to create a prosperous world!"

'Oh, Mom!' Meng Xiaoshan was startled, he immediately understood that this was the emperor recruiting him, that is, he wanted to cultivate him as a confidant. Faced with such a problem, Xiaoshan fell into a choice, the emperor's invitation, if he refused, he would definitely be demerited, but agreeing to it violated Xiaoshan's original intention --- freedom, and 'accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger'. After thinking for a long time, Xiaoshan replied very cleverly: "Emperor Xie appreciates it, but the minister knows that he is sparse and does not dare to be arrogant." If the emperor needs to be dealt with, the ministers should do their best and never give up" haha, that is, refuse and agree.

The emperor only thought that Xiaoyihou had responded, and he was following sincerely, but he didn't hear the content of his language, and said very happily: "I am very relieved to have Qing's words!"

The princess, who had been silent, also smiled, and saluted the emperor: "Congratulations to the emperor's brother!!" suddenly changed her tone and said: "Brother emperor, this time the courtier sister has recruited such a wise man for you, how to reward the courtier?"

The emperor looked helpless, her sister always didn't give herself face, but she was her favorite sister, she only blamed herself for usually spoiling her too much, and said angrily: "You! Wait..."

Everything is like this, the court that Xiaoshan has always wanted to avoid is finally difficult to avoid, as evidenced by poetry:

No one can tell whether the real or the false marquis is,

Gathering talents is like Xiaochun.

Xiaoshan please sin and other things,

From then on, the king was all around.

Xiaoshan is helpless, I don't know if he should be angry with the princess, or angry at himself for showing off blindly before.

In the afternoon, the emperor left Xiaoshan to talk in the palace, and the princess occasionally interjected a few words. This time, Xiaoshan heard something about the front line, listening to the emperor's meaning, the front line war is very tight, and his filial father, Zhongyibo, seems to be besieged by the enemy. Listening to the emperor's meaning, he is preparing to raise another army, that is, the second army, and wants to drive the army in person, and wants Xiaoshan to be the marshal.

Faced with this kind of thing, Xiaoshan resolutely refused, and repeatedly refused on the grounds that he was too young to convince the public. In the end, he promised to follow the emperor and serve as the emperor's entourage in the army, and he was allowed!
