my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 26
Even more frightening... Yang Shiqi and Deng Jian chatted in Zhang's tea room when they were free.

Eunuchs like Deng Jian are of course very considerate to others, and the two chatted cordially, Yang Shiqi changed the subject and said, "Eunuch Deng, may I ask why His Highness the Crown Prince invited an official to come here to give lectures?"

Deng Jian took a sip of tea and smiled: "Mr. Yang, what's the matter... As far as I know, His Royal Highness seems to have heard that you had been a teacher for many years before you became an official. Mr. Yang has taught books for so many years. , must be very thoughtful."

Yang Shiqi: "..."

He had a pale face and said nothing.

Before the window paper on this layer was pierced, although he vaguely felt that it was possible, but now that he had the real evidence, he realized that the prince's favor for him was just a joke.

Moreover, he has heard some terrible rumors recently. The reason why Zhang Anshi was taught to read was because the King of Han proposed to let the royal relatives go to the royal family banquet. There is...a big mystery.

I'm afraid that someone will deliberately make Zhang Anshi make a fool of himself.

And if His Majesty is furious at that time, who will be in trouble?

Even if Zhang Anshi is a pig, he is also a pig related to the prince.

And he, Yang Shiqi, was blamed for being unfavorable in doing things.

So, Yang Shiqi desperately drank tea to vent his anger, and then continued to desperately go to the latrine.

Ruined.

The mountain rain is about to come, and the thunder is about to come. At that time, there will be no bones left, and all dreams will be in vain.

But at this moment... Can you still escape?
Yang Shiqi had no choice but to continue going to the grave, and then faced Zhang Anshi every day and asked him with concern: "Master Yang, have you eaten yet?"

Yang Shiqi only wants to eat people.

A few more days later, he still went to the Hanlin Dianmao, and then prepared to leave for the Zhang family.

It's just that when it was time for Hanlin to be on duty, the official looked at Yang Shiqi with a strange look, and said, "Is it Yang Shi speaking? Yang Shi said, you can count yourself here, come on, hurry up and enter the palace."

"Enter the palace?"

"Yes, His Majesty has an edict to send you an audience."

Yang Shiqi: "..."

Is this a blessing or a curse?
…………

In the Forbidden City of Nanjing.

Zhu Di was talking with Yao Guangxiao, Xie Jin, and Yang Rong in the hall.

But today, even Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu came.

Zhu Gaoxu loves to join in the fun, especially Zhu Di's. Although he claims to be Li Shimin, he knows that his father is not Li Yuan.

So no matter what time, His Royal Highness King of Han can always appear by Zhu Di's side when it is suitable or inappropriate.

"Father... Yang Shiqi, I have never heard of Yang Shiqi, but I heard that he is the prince's attendant..."

Zhu Gaoxu paused and said again: "He is not young, but he is so unknown, it is said that he doesn't even have the fame of Juren."

Hearing that Zhu Di was going to call Yang Shiqi, Zhu Gaoxu made a big comment on it.

Yao Guangxiao, who was standing aside, just turned a deaf ear. He never asked about Zhu Di's family affairs.

As for Xie Jin...

Xie Jin has an excellent relationship with the prince. Of course, it's good, but he is wary of the people around the prince.

This is actually understandable, colleagues are enemies.

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Say a few words less."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Jin and said, "Does Xie Qing's family know this Yang Shiqi?"

Although Xie Jin entered the cabinet as a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, he also held a post in the Imperial Academy at the same time, so he knew the situation of the Imperial Academy quite well.

Xie Jin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this person is indeed as His Highness the King of Han said. When Emperor Taizu Gao was the emperor, the country lacked Confucian scholars. Therefore, although the imperial examination was held to select scholars, he ordered the ministers to recommend Confucian scholars to the court. Yang Shiqi was here. Under such circumstances, he entered the court and became an official, but he was usually taciturn in the Imperial Academy, and he did not show extraordinary talent, so I secretly thought..."

Xie Jin's words did not continue, but the meaning was already very clear.

It was an expedient measure for people without fame to enter the official career when the Ming Dynasty founded the country. After decades of imperial examinations, a large number of Jinshi entered the court, and naturally no one wanted to value these people.

For example, Xie Jin mentioned the imperial examination emphatically, that is, Xie Jin was born as a Jinshi.

Zhu Di said calmly: "I heard that Yang Shiqi is a talent, so I want to meet him."

As soon as Xie Jin heard it, he immediately shut up. For this sake, if he said anything else, he would be uninterested.

Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but said: "There may be traitors around the father, the father must learn from it."

This King of Han has always liked to contradict, of course, if it were someone else, it would be called offending Shengyan, but Zhu Di liked this son, but thought he was outspoken, so instead of adding offense, he praised him repeatedly.

But Zhu Di's face was pulled down this time, and he said: "You are the vassal king, and you are the master of the country's important affairs?"

Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

"Your Majesty, Yang Shiqi has an audience."

"Xuan." Zhu Di said.

After a while, Yang Shiqi entered the hall anxiously, saluted like a ritual, and said long live.

Zhu Di took a look at Yang Shiqi, saw that he was not good-looking, and asked, "Is Yang Qing on duty in the Imperial Academy?"

"Yes."

Zhu Di said, "What are your responsibilities?"

Yang Shiqi said: "Write the scriptures, or go to the East Palace to be on duty."

Zhu Di didn't like these flamboyant guys, but he still said patiently: "The official documents of the imperial court may be involved."

"Yes, Hanlin is responsible for transcribing imperial edicts and memorials, and archiving them. I know a thing or two about this."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Then I'm here to ask you, since you often go to the Eastern Palace to attend lectures, what do you think of Zhan Shifu?"

Zhan Shifu is an institution of the East Palace, responsible for the education and daily life of the prince.

Yang Shiqi was in a panic, he couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to summon him, but now that the matter was imminent, he had to deal with it.

So he said: "When Zhan Shifu gave lectures to His Royal Highness, most of them liked to talk about poetry and grammar, and I thought it was inappropriate."

Zhu Di became interested: "Oh? Then according to Yiqing, what should I talk about?"

Yang Shiqi said: "His Royal Highness should pay attention to studying the "Six Classics", and read the edicts of the Han Dynasty in his spare time. As for the grammar of poetry, it is not enough to learn."

After hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Yang Shiqi with a strange look.

This person... is different from other civil servants. For many civil servants, the grammar of poetry is their lifeblood, but Yang Shiqi thinks it is just a trivial skill.

Zhu Di said: "What's the use of learning the edicts of the Han Dynasty?"

Yang Shiqi said: "Emperors of all dynasties have gained and lost in the edicts they issued in response to different situations.

Yang Shiqi paused and continued: "If you read these imperial edicts, you can better understand the situation of the prefectures and counties in the Han Dynasty, and then compare the "Han Shu" to know the situation after the edict was promulgated, and thus come to the conclusion of the edict. The influence it produces is a blessing or a disaster for the country. Then, we will conduct a review based on this, why some edicts cannot be implemented, and some edicts will lead to the collapse of the world's discipline after being implemented, and some edicts can benefit the world. Such a Come, we can learn from history.”

After hearing this, Zhu Di became more energetic. He stared at Yang Shiqi for a while, then turned to Xie Jin, and said, "What do Xie Qing's family think?"

Xie Jindao: "I have doubts about what Yang Shi said about understanding people's sentiments and national policies through edicts."

Yang Shiqi glanced at Xie Jin cautiously. Xie Jin is the boss of his boss's boss and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, so he hurriedly said, "Please give me your advice, Mr. Xie."

Xie Jin said: "With this, it's just a glimpse of the leopard."

Yang Shiqi said: "That's why it is necessary to compare. Only after comparing with "Hanshu", "Decree" and "Zoushu" can we find the truth of the matter."

Xie Jin smiled: "You have been in Hanlin for a long time. With this, can you know the affairs of the world?"

"Know a thing or two."
