Bright Spring

... Recently, Gao Xianning and Xie Jin are going to be on duty in the same room again, because everyone is going to edit "Taizu Shilu" together.Edit first, do some preparatory work, and wait until later to finalize.

The lobby of the Hanlin Academy is filled with books and documents, the fragrance of ink floats in the air, and the sound of "rustling" the tip of the brush flowing over the rice paper. Occasionally, some Confucian scholars will shake their heads when they read something wonderful.

Sunshine floods the quiet and elegant study hall, which is bright, clean and bright.Someone is holding a pen, twirling|twisting his beard and pondering over the words and sentences, someone is sitting in front of the desk, the pen in his hand is as dexterous as flowing water, and someone is bowing and bowing to ask colleagues for advice.

Everyone has a sacred and serious look on their faces, because what they are editing will be passed down in history!Even after a thousand years, future generations will also look at these things to understand the people at this time; just like people at this time, they have to read the literature of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to understand the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the wise emperor through the ages.

At this moment, a shout came from outside: "The Holy Majesty is here!"

All the officials immediately put down what they were doing, and walked outside the lobby to greet and salute.

Emperor Zhu Di stepped forward, helped up a civil servant with his own hands, and said with a pleasant face: "Get up, get up, and do your own thing. I didn't come here to disturb the affairs of my loved ones, but to see what my ministers are doing." .”

So all the officials thanked him and welcomed the emperor into the lobby of the Imperial Academy.Everyone complied with the order, walked back to their positions and got busy... and it seemed that they were much more busy than before, and people moved faster.

Zhu Di tilted his head to look at the files in the hands of the civil servants, and kept nodding in approval, staying in the Imperial Academy with great interest.Let everyone see that today, not only can he conquer the world on horseback, but he can also enter the Hanlin Academy after dismounting, and get along with well-educated Confucian scholars.

At this moment, Gao Xianning picked up a stack of files, walked up to Xie Jin, cupped his hands and said, "Please read and read for details, are the first drafts revised by the lower official today appropriate?"

Xie Jin glanced at Gao Xianning, then picked up the stack of manuscripts, and after a few glances, he immediately said, "Who told you that the fourth son of Taizu was born by Empress Xiaoci Gao (Mr. Ma)?"

After saying a word, many people looked sideways.Zhu Di, who was strolling in the courtyard, also turned his head to look at him immediately. After all, "the fourth son of Taizu" was talking about him.

"Isn't it?" Gao Xianning asked in confusion, "Then how should I write it?"

Xie Jin said: "I am asking you, who told you?"

Gao Xianning said: "It's a well-known thing in the world, many people have told me like this!"

Xie Jin's face turned red with anger, and he said, "Editor Gao, find out for me, where is this recorded!"

"It's because I can't find an official that I write about things that are recognized by the world." Gao Xianning stood there with his back straight, as if he was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.

"It's unreasonable!" Xie Jin sneered suddenly, and put down his hand pointing at Gao Xianning's nose.

He took a long breath and said earnestly, "Young juniors should read more, learn more, and be humble. Don't think that once you have written a famous article, you can smear history at will. Do you know what we are doing? Ah? This is the true record of Taizu, and it will be Qingshi in the future! It is for future generations to read, so you can write it however you want?"

Xie Jin shook his head and sighed.

Gao Xianning said: "That's how the lower officials wrote it, otherwise Xie Shi read it and explained it, how should I write it?"

Xie Jin said: "Then go and check until you get there!"

Gao Xianning said calmly: "I can't find out, how about you do me a favor?"

Xie Jin immediately clasped his fists to Zhu Di and bowed: "My lord, this Gao Xianning is so stupid, please let me know!"

Zhu Di's face suddenly looked like a pig's liver, and he was as embarrassed as standing there with nowhere to put his hands and feet... The main thing is that this is very weird. Could it be that Zhu Di doesn't even know who gave birth to him?How is he going to judge?

At this moment, a civil official said: "Gently ask Xie Shidu, if we can't find anything, do we still have the face to lead the court Lumi?"

After Zhu Di listened, he took a look at Xie Jin, with an expression that seemed to be hurting somewhere, and said, "I suddenly remembered that there is another urgent matter..." After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave.

All the officials hurriedly bowed and said, "Respectfully send off the Holy Majesty!"

Gao Xianning knelt down and said to himself: Finally, I can be an official in the Hanlin Academy with a little more purity.

Chapter 166 Borrowing Clothes

In the late April of the 35th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di named Xu as the queen.A few days after the grand ceremony, the queen's children successively came to express their congratulations, so the Xu family held a family banquet in the imperial garden to entertain relatives and relatives.

When the crown prince received Yi's decree, Yuan Gong had just arrived at the crown prince's mansion.

Yuan Gong came straight from Xuanzang Temple. He was originally a fortune teller and did not believe in Buddhism. He went to the temple only because Yao Guangxiao lived in the temple.Yuan Gong and Jin Zhong were both recommended by Yao Guangxiao to the Yan Palace, so they have the high officials and rich salary they have today.

Yao Guangxiao made a lot of contributions in the "Battle of Jingnan". Now, after he ascended the throne, he was given a mansion and maids, but he didn't want anything, only living in the temple.Put on the official uniform in the morning and then go to the upper court, and then wear the monk's robe for the next court.

The son was busy changing clothes, but he didn't avoid Yuan Gong and asked Yuan Gong what was the matter.Yuan Gong, however, twitched the beard on his lips and remained silent.

So the son put on the tuanlong suit, screened the servants and maidservants away, and asked again.

Only then did Yuan Gong say: "Today doesn't seem appropriate. I will go to court in the Imperial Gate another day, and my son can intercede for Fang Xiaoru's family."

"Ah?" The prince was stroking the robe on his body, when the movements of his hands stopped immediately, he said in shock, "Yuan Sicheng is asking me to disobey my father?"

Yuan Gong frowned and said, "It's not disobedient."

Shizi supported the chair and sat down. He didn't even want to stand for a moment, and he never wanted to stand when he could sit.He said: "Father will definitely be unhappy! Although Fang Xiaoru is famous, he refused to surrender and even scolded his father. Moreover, Fang Zhongyi, Fang Xiaoru's adopted son, stabbed to death Yushi Jingqing. Father blamed him for keeping dead men in captivity , very furious!"

The prince paused for a moment, then continued to say, "At the end of Hongwu period, Jing Qing had been on good terms with his father, and he had always been in touch with his father in times of crisis; Jing Qing's daughter once recognized her mother as a righteous sister. But I was assassinated by Fang Xiaoru's supporter in the street, if I plead for Fang Xiaoru's family at this time, won't my father be furious?"

Yuan Gong said calmly: "My son's words are reasonable. However, if your son dares to take the advice of your majesty, you must have benevolence in your heart. Only then will you do such a righteous act, and all scholars in the world will see it. If your majesty can accept your son's advice, you will It is also beneficial to the Holy One."

Hearing this, the prince and Yuan Gong looked at each other in blank dismay.

"The hearts of scholars in the world..." Yuan Gong said again in a deep voice.

...The Royal Garden is on the west side of the Hall of Harmony.Zhu Gaoxu had to be summoned to tidy up, thinking it was a family banquet, so he didn't care so much, and put on a purple round neck to settle the matter.

He entered the city from the Bei'an Gate on the north side of the imperial city, and went to the North Shangxi Gate. After walking through a long corridor, he entered the imperial palace.Walking through that corridor made Zhu Gaoxu feel very unhappy. There are high red walls on both sides, and there is only a palm-sized sky on his head, giving him the illusion of being trapped in a cage.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the imperial garden, he felt that the garden of the imperial palace was nothing more than an ordinary garden in the city.Because there are only sparse big trees and the floor is paved with floor tiles in the middle, it looks very monotonous, probably to prevent hiding places.

He also saw a pool and a rockery, which were also very monotonous, without any decoration of flowers and plants, and could be seen at a glance.The trees are not close to the wall, and the wall is high, so I can't see anything outside in the palace.Zhu Gaoxu immediately felt that staying in this palace for a little longer would definitely be very depressing.

An eunuch led Zhu Gaoxu past the rockery, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to watch for a while, then continued walking.Suddenly, two women came towards him. At first, Zhu Gaoxu thought they were court ladies or concubines, but after a quick glance, he didn't think they were.

But seeing the two women getting very close, the older woman is only in her teens, but her figure is mature and plump, and her face is charming.

The other shorter one is very delicate and beautiful, with fine and fair skin, and a childish face. The neck exposed from the collar and the wrists outside the sleeves are white and tender, and the person looks fair and pure.However, the satin clothes this girl was wearing were obviously not suitable, as if they were not her clothes.

The two women approached Zhu Gaoxu, stepped aside, and slightly bent their knees as a Wanfu salute.The little girl was very polite, but at this moment she raised her head and quietly looked at Zhu Gaoxu, her big eyes as bright as moonlight were full of curiosity.

The little girl gave Zhu Gaoxu a good impression. Her innocence and her bright and calm eyes made people feel beautiful, as if there was no filth in the world, and the world was so bright, beautiful and full of vitality.

Zhu Gaoxu is 19 years old this year. He only has a light beard on his mouth, but he is obviously a man.It must be very rare to see a man in the palace, so she was curious?

Zhu Gaoxu also met her gaze, and the four eyes met, the girl lowered her eyes in embarrassment, two blushes appeared on her beautiful cheeks, she was really a shy little girl.

"Aren't you from the palace?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help asking.Since he is not from the palace, why would he wander around the imperial garden?Of course he knew his older sisters, but he didn't know these two girls.

The little girl immediately asked briskly, "How do you know?"

"I guessed it." Zhu Gaoxu said gently with a smile. He thought the little girl was pure and cute, so he joked, "You are growing up, so there is no need to make your clothes so big? Haha!"

The little girl blushed, "It's not my clothes."

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu made a questioning voice.
