Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

However, among the children of the aristocratic family, there are also some grumpy people. Naturally, they were not reconciled to being ridiculed, so they said a word.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in front of the Shu Mansion, which could break out and rush in at any time. Fortunately, the Jinwu Guard had already paid attention to the crowd, so naturally they intervened immediately.

In a short period of time, the conflict in front of the Shu Mansion also spread throughout Chang'an City, but it was also spread throughout Chang'an City that there were still ten questions from Shumen, and none of the countless scholars answered a single question.

Chapter 25 Curiosity, disaster from heaven!

In the courtyard of the Shu Mansion, on a stone bench, on Shu An's face was an ancient well without waves, it seemed that he was not at all moved by the noise in front of the Shu Mansion.

"I don't know how much change can be caused by throwing a stone."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he said softly, everyone must have known about Chang'an at this time, and of course he played a role in fueling the flames here.

What he wants is not only for the whole Chang'an to know, but for the whole world to know. Compared with Chang'an, he cares more about the scholars in the whole world.

However, an example is still needed to inspire everyone in the world. Of course, the problems he sets only need a little luck and a little more Chongming.

For example, the Analects of Confucius topics he set are some students' examination questions in modern times. In addition to the Analects of Confucius, there are couplets and mathematics.

Some are related to the history before the Tang Dynasty, and some are related to the geography of people's livelihood in various places. If you are not a local person, you may not know it very well.

Of course, there are also some questions about Buddhism and Taoism. If you are not a person in Zen or Taoism, it may be very difficult to answer them.

Imperial Palace Study Room

Li Shimin was dealing with the memorial as usual, but occasionally, out of the corner of his eye, his eyes fell on a piece of rice paper.

It was the inscription written by Shu An before, whether it was poetry or writing, it reached a certain peak, but it is a pity that it needs to be framed and placed in the place where Lingyan Pavilion is set up.

"It's a pity to put it in the Sanqing Palace."

Even Li Shimin said it was a pity, but he also knew that it was a pity, but it was confirmed.

"Tread, step!"

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, it was Li Junxian, the leader of Baiqi, but the sound of footsteps seemed to have some basic appearance.

"Wei Chen has seen His Majesty!"

A respectful voice sounded!

"Don't be too polite, what happened?"

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the first seat, said slowly with no expression on his face, obviously knowing that Li Junxian's coming here was not a good thing.

"There are a lot of students gathered in front of the Shu Mansion in Chang'an City, and there are many conflicts between the children from aristocratic families and those from poor families."

Li Junxian said, with a hint of emotion in his words, even he was shocked when he received the news, what are so many students doing together.

As Baiqi, the eyes and ears around His Majesty didn't know until so late. If it wasn't for someone from the Jinwu Guard to inform him, when His Majesty found out, then Baiqi's life would be very difficult.

"what reason?!"

Li Shimin was stunned, isn't Shu's mansion the mansion of his cheap father-in-law, and something happened again.

After the words fell, Li Junxian naturally didn't dare to hide anything, he told the cause and effect, and he naturally found out the reason.

"Shu Men Ten Questions, the dispute between the family's elite and the poor family's children?!"

Li Shimin murmured softly with a hint of thought deep in his eyes, as a king, although he was born in the Li family of Longxi, it did not mean he was on the side of the aristocratic family.

Li Junxian, who was on the side, was speechless when he saw this majesty thinking, but at the same time, he was interested in this Duke Anxuan.

It seems that since this Duke Anxuan set foot in Chang'an, Baiqi has been in a hurry. No matter what His Majesty decides this time, he will send someone to keep an eye on this Duke Anxuan.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

Li Shimin said with a gleam in his eyes, but then he became curious about Shumen Ten Questions.

It turned out that none of the Chang'an students could answer, even he was also happy to see Lie Xin, especially Li Junxian said a piece of news before.

Even Du Ruhui, a minister of the humerus, shook his head and turned away after drawing a question, which made it so difficult for Li Shimin to know what the question was.

"Collect the questions from the scholar selection."

In the end, Li Shimin gave an order and said that he really wanted to see what the students in Chang'an were struggling with.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Junxian replied respectfully, in fact, he himself was also very interested in this question.

It's just that every student seemed unwilling to reveal anything, and left with an ugly face every time, as if he didn't want to share his problems.

But Li Junxian doesn't care about this point, because there is no impenetrable wall in the world, it is not difficult to know.

......

In fact, on the second day, apart from the inscription by Duke An Xuan, which is well known to everyone in Chang'an, there is also Shumen Ten Questions.

Even the students who have just entered Chang'an have heard about it, and even spread it to the whole world at an extremely fast speed.

"It is said that a topic has been revealed."

"That's the couplet. One, two, two, three, three, three, three, all things, ask for the opposite."

"This sentence comes from the Tao Te Ching, and the answer is also in the Tao Te Ching."

......

In a restaurant in Chang'an, a student spoke out with a trace of certainty in his words. He learned this from his companions, and he just used it to save face.

And after a start, one after another of the questions popped up, some of which left people speechless.

"How many years did Confucius travel around the world?!"

"Ten years, not 11 years!"

"It should be 15 years."

.......

All in all, some unpopular knowledge points have attracted many students' discussions, even the honorable children of Chang'an are no exception.

Even in the palace, especially in the Guozijian, many great Confucian scholars discussed these issues.

There is no problem with the basic common sense questions, but there are some questions that even great Confucians need to think about for a long time, although there is a little urge to go to the Shu Mansion first to try them out.

However, no one went there in the end. The reason is very simple, that is, if there is no answer, Du Ruhui was seen before.

Naturally, the news spread, and the important officials in the court did not even answer Shumen's first question, and became the laughing stock of Chang'an for a while.

For this reason, Du Ruhui even asked to be sick and rested at home for a few days, but everyone knew the specific reason, and it was because he couldn't keep his face.

Under such circumstances, even the great Confucian scholars in the Imperial College shook their heads. Scholars cherish their own feathers the most, and it is better not to get involved.

Although it is possible to spread the name of Chang'an through the ten questions, but if you are stumped even the first question, I am afraid that you will become the laughing stock of Chang'an.

Originally, they had a lot of fame, so there was no need to take such a gamble, and the opportunity was still left to the young people.

At the court meeting, Li Shimin was also a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect the news to spread so fast, but he still sent the imperial physician to express his condolences.

At the same time, Shu An frowned slightly, obviously he didn't think that his student would be recruited, so he couldn't help but shook his head, this seems to be not bad, it can be regarded as stealing half a day of leisure.

Chapter 26 Invitation, country boy!

Cai Guogong Mansion in Chang'an

Du Ruhui's complexion was a little ugly. As the saying goes, curiosity kills people, and his situation seems to be similar.

If he had taken a step earlier yesterday, he would not be in such an embarrassing appearance now. Many students in Chang'an have already used him as an example.

"Even Cai Guogong didn't answer the first question, and it's normal if he didn't answer it himself."

Especially words like this made Du Ruhui feel hot on his face, and he couldn't hold his head up.

"My lord, an invitation has been sent from Anxuan's mansion."

A middle-aged butler rushed in and said at the same time, with a hint of joy in his words.

You must know that as a housekeeper, you need to be active inside and outside, and you are the most well-informed about Chang'an affairs, and you also know your master's troubles.

Now Duke Anxuan's invitation card can surprise the master, you must know that Duke Anxuan has never invited anyone.

"What, teacher's invitation?!"

Du Ruhui said with a trace of surprise on his face, needless to say the excitement in his words.

After the words fell, Du Ruhui stepped forward a few steps, looking at the invitation card with an expression on his face, he would not admit the mistake of this font.

"Please come to Keming's residence for a while."

It was a short sentence, but it sounded like the sound of nature to Du Ruhui, without any hesitation, he got into the carriage through the back door.

At the same time, outside the gate of Chang'an City, a young man looked at the city where the gunpowder smoke seemed to have never passed away, showing a trace of longing on his face.

"Is this Chang'an?"

The young man whispered, he was originally from a family of small landlords, but because of the war, the family was ruined and the little wealth that was once vanished.

But after all, it is a young man's heart, wanting to use his own efforts to revive the lintel, so he left his family and traveled all the way to seek famous teachers.

But he was not born in a famous family, and his family was in the middle of nowhere. Although he searched for local celebrities every time he went, he was turned away before he met them.

Along the way, the young mind has been sharpened and matured, and Chang'an is his last stop.

"If you can't visit famous teachers again this time, then use the remaining money to buy a few books and go back to your hometown to study hard."

A flash of determination flashed in the boy's eyes and he said, with a hint of disappointment in his words, even if he was not much troubled, this was in exchange for his mother's current situation of selling some family property against all opinions.

According to the usual habit, the boy found a small restaurant in Chang'an, ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles, saw that the prices were slightly uniform, and then couldn't help calling the waiter in the shop to start asking.

"Xiaoer, I don't know who are the celebrities in Chang'an City?"

The young man asked with a trace of expectation in his eyes. After all, Chang'an is the most prosperous place, and there must be many celebrities.

"You are asking the right person. There is nothing in Chang'an that I don't know about."

"However, His Majesty cherishes talents nowadays, and basically famous people have entered the Imperial Academy."

The waiter in the shop seemed to be very excited because he met a scholar from other places. After all, the scholar in Chang'an was so polite to him, so he opened his mouth and talked endlessly.

It's just that what the waiter didn't notice was that the boy's eyes were slightly dimmed, because he had an official position.

It's very likely that like before, I'm afraid I won't even see anyone, but the young man probably has an understanding of Chang'an celebrities.

"Of course, the last thing I want to talk about is Duke Anxuan. Duke Anxuan didn't enter the Imperial Academy, nor does he hold any official position."

When the waiter in the shop said this, the boy's eyes lit up slightly, as if this Duke Anxuan had a lot of hope here.

"Xiaoer, can you tell me about Duke Anxuan?"

The boy couldn't help but said, but after the words fell, only Xiao Er's eyes were greeted.

"You don't even know Duke Anxuan, who is famous all over the world, do you?!"

The shop waiter seemed a little surprised and said, even with a hint of contempt in his words, even he knew about An Xuangong's influence among scholars, but this scholar-like young man in front of him didn't know it.

"Should I know him?"

The boy said with some doubts, but he kept muttering in his heart, as if he had heard of this name before, but he didn't care.

"Do you know the two things that caused a sensation in Chang'an recently?"

The shop clerk couldn't help saying with a sense of superiority on his face, and there seemed to be a hint of mystery in his words.

"whats the matter?!"

The boy also said with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, what does this have to do with the Duke Anxuan mentioned earlier.

"The first thing is the inscription Lingyan Pavilion by Duke Anxuan. The poem moves Chang'an. Our shopkeeper also copied a copy and hung it there."

The shop clerk pointed to a pair of words on the wall in the middle of the lobby and couldn't help saying, but the young man was stunned.

Just now because of the long journey, he was a little tired, so he didn't notice that there was still a word hanging here.

"Why don't men wear Wu hooks!"

Just after reading the first sentence, the young man fell in love with this poem. After reading the entire poem, even he felt a sense of enthusiasm, sweeping away his previous fatigue.

"The second thing is that Chang'an Wu Mathematics came to ask for words. It is said that when An Xuangong wrote this poem, the words were in a style of his own. His Majesty can't put it down, and many ministers are worried about it."

"However, even though Mr. Anxuan is highly respected, facing so many people asking for words, he can't help but feel a little helpless, so he set up ten Shumen questions. No matter who it is, after answering ten questions in a row, they will be able to get an interview."

The waiter in the shop said with a bright face, as if he had experienced it himself, and his voice was even more ups and downs.
