There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

In the first three days of Chunwei, Shi Zhongzhu accidentally contracted an illness and asked for leave to recuperate. As soon as he recuperated, he went to Baihua Garden.Take the three Shi An brothers to visit Lingshan and surrounding scenic spots, and forbid them to read at night, just to relax.

Shi Zhongzhu was the first to know about the results of the imperial examination, and the top ten were personally determined by the imperial pen of the sage, and Shi Zhongzhu was there when the names were dismantled.

The sage laughed when he saw it, and said to the elders and the chief examiner: "The children of the historians have outstanding literary talents, and two of them entered the top ten, which makes me feel bad."

Everyone followed the sage's words and praised Shi Zhongzhu for his ability to teach his children.

"Imperial examinations are used to select scholars for saints. The grand ceremonies of the country have nothing to do with whose sons. It is better to invite saints to only discuss knowledge, not status." Shi Zhongzhu said modestly.

The sage jokingly said: "My dear friends, please testify for me. It's not that I'm partial. I really want to blame the historian's children for everything."

All the ministers smiled and agreed.

Once the imperial list was released, the historian's reputation of "all Jinshi" spread. Chun Wei's article was to be posted for students to study and supervise. When they were in Wanli Academy, the name of their brother's talent was spread in the south, "a tiger father has no dogs", and now the reputation is even better.

Shi An High School Tanhua, Shi Ping ninth, Shi Ning 23, all became famous at a young age.Only Shi Ning muttered indignantly: "Is the ranking also based on age? Dad, the article you said is better than the second brother." Shi Ning was often teased and bullied by Shi Ping using his age as an excuse.

"Why, you are not convinced, come on, let's fight!" Shi Ping raised his fist and said.

"Just hit, am I afraid of you?" Shi Ning was eager to try.

"Boom!" Shi An couldn't help but slap each of them, making the two fighting cocks stop, and said, "Father said that for his taste, I prefer your emotional and moving articles. Other examiners may like unpretentious ones. Maybe you like hard-working and precise writing, with a myriad of styles, so the so-called writing is not the first, are you causing trouble for our family?"

Shi Ning lowered his head and said, "I don't know yet, it's just a joke from my family."

"You should also be careful when you talk and laugh. Everyone who speaks the door will accidentally go out bald outside."

"The Ceremony of Passing on Lulu has not passed yet, and you're starting to show off your money, hum!" Shi Ning made a grimace, and ran away with a smile.

"Tomorrow is the Ceremony of Biography, this dead boy, I'm so mad." Shi An pointed at Shi Ning's back and stomped his feet. Such a big man, still looks like a child, it's all because his father spoiled him!

Shi Ping silently withdrew from the battlefield, as if the discussion between the elder brother and the third younger brother had nothing to do with him.Shi An turned his head and saw Shi Ping who was pretending to be innocent, and finally couldn't help but flung his sleeves and left.

This is the most glorious moment for the literati. How many top performers in the imperial examinations will only be small officials in the future and spend their lives doing nothing.

Moved to the Qionglin Banquet, presided over by the sage, elders, examiners, important ministers, high-ranking officials, and the hall was full of wealth and honor.

The three brothers of the Shi family have completely overshadowed the demeanor of the champion. Shi An [-], Shi Ping [-], and Shi Ning [-] are all young talents. The sage called the three brothers forward, looked at them carefully, and joked: "So Erlang, is Shi Aiqing satisfied?"

"There is one dissatisfaction." Shi Zhongzhu said.

"Oh?"

"Shi Ning." Shi Zhongzhu didn't give a shit, and directly called the name: "This time I was admitted to the second class, and the minister was eleventh."

The sage said with black lines all over his head, "That's why you're being picky."

"I wish my sons were better than my ministers. Talented people come out from generation to generation. Each has been in the limelight for hundreds of years. It should be the age of young people." Shi Zhongzhu's words were not shocking, and everyone only lamented that he was broad-minded and loved his son deeply. , but the sage heard the meaning of being out of the dust.

"Your three sons are only fourteen this year. They are younger than you in those days, so you can be content." Jiaen Shi Zhongzhu, a saint who has no trace, suddenly became interested, and said, "The three children are all young, and there is no sign yet." ?”

Shi Zhongzhu definitely didn't have time to get it. I just don't know if there were any respected teachers who helped to get it when he was in Wanli Academy. Shi Zhongzhu gave the three brothers a sideways look.Shi An stepped forward and replied: "My father hasn't given the characters to our three brothers, and neither has the seniors of the academy."

"So, let me choose a word for you?" Although the sage is a question, it can express a positive meaning, and he has already thought about it, and said: "An, Ping, Ning, Shi Aiqing has a loving father's heart, she is just a man, sir. In order to make progress, in this way, Hongxuan, Shengye... Well, Shi Ning is too young, so I will leave your name to your father, otherwise he will have to blame me."

Seeing Shi Ning curl his lips, the saint said with a good temper: "When you get married, I will be a matchmaker and give you a marriage, okay?"

Can Shi Ning say no?The three brothers thanked the saint together.

For this kind of young talent, the sage bestowing characters is also a means of attracting them. What's more, there are precedents of His Majesty Renzong and Shi Zhongzhu. trust.The sage realized that in the history books in the future, he must also write down "the monarch and his ministers get each other".

After a lively night, just before the curfew, the Xinke Scholars left with a hint of drunkenness. I believe that at the Qionglin Banquet tonight, the three Shijia brothers will be the most hated.After leaving the palace gate, the students of Xinkexue really wanted to put on sacks and beat up the three brothers. Seeing the standard guards brought by Shi Zhongzhu, they silently gave up.

The three official rookies have been in the Imperial Academy for three years, and when the time comes, they have to make room for a new round of Jinshi. The three brothers are all released, and none of them stay in the capital.

Shi Zhongzhu wrote a letter to pass on the title of Marquis of Zhongjia to Shi An. When Shi An was just born, the identity of the son was confirmed. Now Shi Zhongzhu is going to smash the title into reality.

The saint was puzzled and said: "You are still young and in your prime, why did you think of inheriting the title? Hongxuan is already the eldest son, and the title will not escape him in the future."

Shi Zhongzhu raised his head and smiled slightly, and said: "The minister is afraid that he will be bullied. When he is away from home, if the official position cannot suppress others, at least he has a title on him, and he can be equipped with a few guards. It will probably be safe."

"You!" The saint smiled angrily, "You have spoiled the children, and they say you are a strict father and a loving mother. I am afraid that your family is a strict mother and a loving father."

"My children are in pain. Don't look at them shouting 'bad animals' and 'rebellious sons'. In fact, they are much softer than the minister. When the minister disciplines him, he is merciless." Shi Zhongzhu never thought that he spoiled his children. Thinking of those scenes of meeting, hugging, and kissing from time to time, Shi Zhongzhu said that since his children went to college, he has never kissed them again. He is really a strict father!

The sage smiled and shook his head, no longer arguing.That was many years ago, when he was still the crown prince, Shi Zhongzhu went to Beijing to report on his duties and brought Shi An back. He went out of the palace to go to his natal family, took the road from Dongshi, and passed by Shi Family School.At that time, it was just after school, and there were too many cars and horses on the road. For safety, the attendants parked the car on the side of the road. The saint watched the scenery outside through the curtain.

Suddenly, a crisp voice shouted: "Father, father, I am here."

I saw a seven or eight-year-old child rushing over like a calf, rushing into his father's arms. The young man took advantage of the situation and lifted the child up and circling around. Only then did the sage see clearly that it was Shi Zhongzhu.

I saw Shi Zhongzhu lowered his head and kissed his son's forehead, he smiled and said something, the two father and son got into the carriage talking and laughing, only heard the child's voice shouting from a distance: "I want to eat roast chicken, you Made it by hand."

When Shi Zhongzhu and his son were far away, the sage heard the children in the history family school comment: "It's only been three days, and Master Shi came to pick him up every day" "I still hug him and kiss him" "The rose cake he brought today is The uncle made it himself." "Shi An has never been beaten." "He also said that there is a bamboo house in Guizhou, which the uncle built for him."

After listening to it one after another, it is not difficult to hear the envy in the voices of the historians and the children who came to the attached school. How many years have passed, the envious words of those urchins, the sage still remembers, the father and son of the historians went away together The saint also remembered the picture of the carriage blending into the afterglow.Therefore, if it is said that Shi Zhongzhu is not a connoisseur, a saint would not believe it.

Those warm pictures flashed in my mind, which the sage had never tried.The sage had a close relationship with the first emperor, but it was based on the fact that he was the eldest son, capable in himself, and his mother was capable. The first emperor relied heavily on him, not intimacy.When he became the emperor, the sage wanted to compensate his son for what he envied in his childhood, only to find that she was not suitable for that, and was qualified to get this kind of intimate son. He was the heir with high hopes and could only be taught strictly; , the saint does not want to mess up his concubine.

Everyone envies the wealth of the Tian family, but they don't know that there is something the Tian family can't do about it.

The saint turned his mind several times, but didn't reveal anything on his face, and then continued the topic: "Needless to say about the title, with a father like you who protects his shortcomings, who would dare to offend him, besides, there is also me. If you really Heartbroken, let Shi Ning come to the East Palace to serve as an official, the capital is prosperous, and Shi Ning is still young, so don't let him suffer outside."

The first prince of the sage, after the death of the original eldest son, a new crown prince was established two years ago, also a descendant, the sixth prince.

Shi Zhongzhu didn't want his family to stand in line too early, so the matter of the East Palace could be pushed as soon as he could, and of course it was impossible to agree now. "It's because the children are young and their thinking is uncertain, so they go outside to gain more knowledge. Otherwise, they will have a big mess if they don't have political experience in the future."

"Forget it, I can't say no to you, it's up to you."

The sage surrendered, changed the subject, and said, "Uncle Wang is getting old, and Ai Qing needs to worry more about matters in court."

The Uncle Wang in the sage's population is Situ Yi, one of the eight elders when the sage ascended the throne, the original elder, Yuan Jie, who belonged to the tortoise, everyone said he was fast, fast, but in the end he couldn't breathe. He dragged off several younger than him, and only closed his eyes the year before last.The sage said so, Situ Yi probably couldn't do it.

Shi Zhongzhu had to lament how fast time passed.

"Dare not to follow orders." Shi Zhongzhu bowed his head in agreement.

Shi Zhongzhu just lamented the time, when Shi Ding received the news that Situ Yi had gone, he stood there blankly, with a vague premonition in his heart, soon, soon.The veterans of the same period had almost passed away, and his body was also thanks to the imperial doctor and Shi Zhongzhu staring at him all these years.

Shi Ding always had an ominous premonition.
