Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao: "What did you write?"

Mr. Zhuang and Xiang Mingxue also raised their heads curiously to look at Xiang Bai Shan.

Bai Shan said with a serious face: "The prince wants to recruit talents for Chongwen Museum."

Chongwen Pavilion is the place where the prince studied and where the prince was taught by the master since he was a child. Unlike other princes, the prince was educated by the emperor since he was a child, and the teacher was alone.

In the past, the prince's masters were Kong Jijiu and Lu Xueshi. In the first eighteen years, although the prince was mischievous and occasionally rebellious, he preferred horse racing and martial arts compared to Zhiwen, but overall, Kong Jijiu and Lu Xueshi were satisfied. of.

After all, he was a prince, and he was not good at writing poetry, but he was proficient in both classics and Confucianism, and he had the will to govern the world.

But then the prince's studies failed, and the emperor began to change his teachers in batches. All the ministers in the court and middle class were teachers of the prince, such as Wei Zhi, the old Tang, Li Shangshu and others, and even the state uncles Zhao Guogong and Yin. Li and others have been teachers in Chongwen Hall for several months.

However, the emperor's method didn't work. Instead, the ministers became more and more disappointed with the prince. The relationship between the prince and the ministers was also complicated.

For example, Wei Zhi, he disapproved of the abolition of the prince, but he also felt that the prince was not doing well, so he sent letters to scold the prince every once in a while, almost as often as scolding the emperor.

But when someone suggested that the third prince was filial and wise, Wei Zhi defended the prince and believed that the orthodoxy should be maintained.

Sometimes the prince did too much wrong, and he couldn't help but write a letter to imply that the emperor, or you should consider changing the prince.

Of course, after that, he would have to add another book, saying that the previous book was written by him when he lost his mind, so please blame everything.

Anyway, in one sentence, the Chongwen Pavilion is where the prince studied and his territory, but now, he is writing to the emperor and blatantly wanting to recruit talents.

Bai Shan took a sip of tea, because he said a lot in the afternoon, and he was still hoarse at the moment, "The prince wrote to say that he has many shortcomings, and he didn't listen to the teachings of the teachers before, it's his fault, anyway, He now knows his fault."

He said: "I heard that the emperor was very happy when he heard it, and he said on the spot that he wanted Confucius to sacrifice wine and the others to arrange shifts to teach the prince."

"The prince's book also said that it is boring for him to study alone, and he can't learn, so he wants some people to study with him." Bai Shan said with a serious face: "The prince has even prepared the list, all of them are powerful and powerful people in the court. Son, even Lord Wei's son is on it."

He said: "Originally, His Majesty was quite happy, but when he saw the list, he frowned. Lord Wei was not present at the time, but Li Shangshu's people also objected. Lord Wei entered the palace this afternoon, and His Majesty did not see him. , Lord Wei just blocked the gate of Taiji Hall and scolded for an hour before leaving the palace."

So in one afternoon, everyone in Guozixue knew all about it.

No way, as a reserve for future officials, their news is so well-informed.

Man Bao opened his mouth wide, and suddenly remembered what the emperor said to her today, standing by the stone jar.

She didn't think it was right, so she swallowed and said, "The prince is here to thank me at noon today."

Bai Shan asked, "Thank you for what?"

Man Bao was speechless for a while, and after a long silence he said: "Forget it, let's leave the affairs between their big men, it seems that it has nothing to do with us."

Seeing her shrinking like a quail, Bai Shan couldn't help but ask, "What bad thing did you do?"

"No!" Man Bao flatly denied.

Bai Shan has already said: "It can't have anything to do with us, because today there are words from the doctors that Kong Jijiu is unwilling to teach the prince, and is planning to retire and return home."

Guozijian now has few ghosts and snakes, and a large part of the reason is due to the protection of Kong Jijiu. Once he leaves, it is uncertain who will hand the Guozijian to in the future. This is actually related to them.

Man Bao hesitated for a moment and then said, "It is very likely that Your Majesty will agree to the Prince's letter?"

Even Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Man Bao: "Because the lotus flower in the stone jar will definitely live, not only will it live, but it will also grow very well."

What Man Bao said was right. After an afternoon and a night of rest, the lotus in the stone jar that she had cut off half of its tubers not only straightened the lotus stem again, but also the two buds were half-open, showing them all. So strong, so spirited.

The emperor came to see it early in the morning. He stared at the flowers in the stone jar for a while, then turned his head and asked Gu Zhong who was beside him, "Is this lotus flower not replaced?"

Gu Zhong immediately said: "After His Majesty left yesterday, the servants asked people to guard here, and no one has come to touch this lotus."

The emperor nodded and asked the gardener who was kneeling beside him, "That tuber can still live after being cut off so much?"

The gardener wasn't here yesterday, so he didn't know how much Zhou Man broke off, but it didn't delay his answer, he said, "Your Majesty, there is only a little lotus stem left, as long as it can sprout, it will grow up. ."

But what it will be like and how long it will take to grow well is not certain.

The gardener dared not mention it.

The emperor was silent for a moment and then said: "It is tenacious."

The gardener put his head against the floor tiles and heard the words: "As long as there is water, it can live."

The emperor squeezed his fingers and said nothing.

Although the prince has occasionally quarreled with people these days, his temper has indeed restrained a lot. It is a good thing that he still has the heart to manage his contacts.

The emperor is really not afraid of the prince's management of contacts. What he is afraid of is that he will break the pot and fall, and he is as generous as before.

It's not good to be too big. The list presented by the prince almost includes all the noble families in Beijing and the young masters of the right age.

After pondering for a while, the emperor turned around and went to the front hall. It was time to go to court.

Today's early morning was particularly noisy. The emperor agreed to the prince's request to recruit talents for the Chongwen Museum.

Some of the courtiers agreed, but some disagreed, so there was a lot of quarrel.

When Man Bao entered the palace, the prince was still arguing with people in front of the palace. She felt the pulse with the prince, saying that the child was healthy, and then learned the piano with the prince, and occasionally ate two pieces of snacks.

They are here in the wind and the sun, and the prince is in front of the wind and rain. Kong Jijiu has been tired from the prince's tossing in the past few years, and he is not willing to run to teach him again, so he wrote a letter to the emperor to resign, and wanted to retire and return to his hometown.

As a result, it became even more noisy. Under this commotion, the case of Zhou Man overturning the car, the case of throwing knives from the carriage, and even the case of the prince's poisoning were about to be forgotten.

The recruitment of talents in Chongwen Museum is not a small matter, and it is not so simple to decide. Therefore, during the time they quarreled, Yin Li and Tang He took the opportunity to investigate more and more deeply, and brought more and more news and things back to the capital.
