The capital is bustling again.His Majesty's imperial decree caused a commotion in the entire capital, and every family wanted to send their son there.However, there are conditions, the children of the third-rank officials' families are over five years old and under eight years old.

Why third grade officials?Because the family of a third-rank official has certain influence, children from this kind of family have their own circle, and Xiao Enen is young, and his own circle of friends can be cultivated from an early age, so Gu Junchen has this rule.There are also certain reasons for over five years old and before eight years old.Children over the age of five have their own ideas and common sense of life, and the prince will accompany them to study. Of course, they will not find children who need the prince's care.Before the age of eight, eight-year-olds and five-year-olds have similar ways of thinking.Because five-year-old and ten-year-old children have very different thinking, we can't find a gap that is too big.

All the officials before the third rank in the capital, who had sons in their families, whether they were legitimate sons or concubine sons, were sent to the imperial palace.

On the first day of choosing the prince to study, the palace was very busy.All the officials and wives waited at the gate of the palace with their children.When the palace door opened, the servant was already waiting at the palace gate.

"All the children are waiting in line," said the servant.

The housekeeper's children lined up according to the time they came, with the earliest ones at the front and the late ones at the back.When the officials' children were queuing up, four servants came out from the gate of the palace and came to the back.Then the servant behind him blew his whistle.

"Young masters, please follow this slave." said the servant who took the lead in front.

Then the servant took the children to the yard where they were selected to study with, which was called Book Pavilion. "Young masters, please wait here." After the servant finished speaking, he walked into the library.

"I've seen Lord Hou and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The servant said, "All the princes of the official family have gathered at the door."

"How many people in total?" Li Luo asked.

"A total of one hundred." The servant said.

"One hundred people are divided into twenty groups, five people in each group, you lead them in." Li Luo said.

"No." The servant went out.

At the door of the officials' children, I was a little nervous when I saw the School of Internal Servants.Among these official children, no matter how good their status and background are, they usually have no experience in entering the palace, so entering the palace at this moment is nervous.But they know that their performance this time is related to the honor of the family, and they must cash in well so that Lord Li Xiaohou and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take a fancy to them and become His Royal Highness' companions.

"Masters from the official family, come in in groups of five, and the first five sons will come in first." The servant said.

"Yes." The five people in front followed the waiter in.

"This Lord Hou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and all the young masters saluted together." The servant said.

The five official sons knelt down: "See Lord Hou, see Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Everyone get up." Li Luo said.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, Your Highness the Crown Prince." The five official sons stood up.

But when the five of them just got up, one of the little boys fell to the ground again.The little boy hurriedly said, "Please forgive me, Lord Hou, I didn't do it on purpose, I...I..."

"Don't be nervous." Li Luo said, "Get up and answer a few questions for me."

"Thank you, Lord Hou." The little boy got up again. He raised his head and boldly looked at Li Luo. Seeing that Li Luo was handsome and gentle, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Master Hou, please."

"What's your name, how old are you, who is your father, and why did you fall down just now?" Li Luo asked.The little boy stood upright and said: "My name is Zhang Zhiqin, I am six years old, and my father is Zhang Jian, a third-rank Hanlin.

"Zhang Jian?" Li Luo was slightly surprised, "So you are Zhang Jian's old man, Zhang Jian has excellent literary talent, and you are such a baby, I didn't expect to send you here. You are very calm at such a young age , why did you fall down just now?"

Zhang Zhiqin hesitated, not knowing what to say. It took him a long time before he answered cautiously: "Just now, I was very tired from walking all the way. When I knelt down, my feet trembled when I got up, so I fell down again. gone."

"Oh? Are you afraid?" Li Luo asked, "It's turned upside down here, are you afraid of being punished?"

Zhang Zhiqin shook his head: "A little scared, but not very scared."

"Why?" Li Luo asked again.

"Before entering the palace, my father told me that no matter what questions the Lord Hou and His Royal Highness asked, I must answer them truthfully." Zhang Zhiqin said, "My father also said, Lord Hou, you are a good person. You won't care about me as a child. You have a good name and you are a prime minister. If I lie in front of you, it is... just beyond my control, so my father said, I can't lie in front of you. "

This high hat... Zhang Zhiqin is a child, it would be unwise to lie in front of him, so I have to say that Zhang Jian is a smart person.Moreover, Li Luo had a very good impression of Zhang Zhiqin. Although the child was a little scared, he was calm and steady in times of crisis.Moreover, he is a small and honest child. Originally, Li Luo had decided on Xi Ge'er because of the friendship of the Zhongyong Houfu, but now Zhang Zhiqin made Li Luo more satisfied.But it doesn't matter if there are more than one or two.Xi Geer is the elder brother of her natal family, even if she is not a companion, she can still enter the palace to play with Xiao Enen

"Give Zhang Zhiqin a bookmark." The child who receives the bookmark can stay.

"Congratulations Mr. Zhang." The waiter said, "Mr. Zhang, please wait in the side hall."

The joy in Zhang Zhiqin's eyes was very obvious, but he was not complacent, it was the simple joy of a child.He saluted again: "Thank you, Lord Hou."

After Zhang Zhiqin retired, Li Luo asked Xiao Enen: "Do you know why Daddy left him?"

Xiao Enen shook her head: "I don't understand, please enlighten me."

"Because he is honest." Li Luo said, "As a king, you need smart ministers, but you also need honest ministers, because since ancient times, loyal words are harmful to the ear and good for deeds. If the ministers are not honest, they will not speak faithful words. Zhang Zhiqin is young and can do it. It’s very rare to be not rough and arrogant. Daddy rewarded him with a bookmark just now. Although he was happy, he didn’t feel complacent. It can be seen that his education at home is very good, understand?”

"Son understands." Xiao Enen said, "Son will reuse honest people in the future."

"Honest people should be reused, but smart people should also be reused." Li Luodao, "Some people are honest, but not flexible enough, and some are smart, but their brains are too flexible and always do bad things, so they should be reused together and restrict each other. For example, some you think are too salty after eating, so you want to eat sweet; while some you eat are too sweet, so you want to eat salty."

Xiao Enen seemed to understand: "Although my son doesn't understand it very well, no matter what he does in the future, he will always think about what Dad said." Looking at Li Luo's already protruding belly, "I still want to be a good brother, I will teach my brothers in the future."

Brothers... Li Luo's baby is twins.I was pregnant from September last year to March this year, and it has been seven months, and my stomach is bigger than the average person's seven-month belly, because this baby is twins.Twins have two meanings in the royal family. As long as it is not the first child or in the queen's belly, it is a good thing.

Xiao Enen is the eldest son and has already been established as the crown prince, so Li Luo's birth is good.It not only shows that the emperor has many heirs, but also can block the mouths of everyone.

Li Luo patted Xiao Enen's head: "Daddy believes in you, you must be a good brother, the best brother." "What kind of brother is the best brother?" Xiao Enen asked.

"The best brother, even if one day, father and father are gone, you will protect your younger brothers and sisters and prevent them from suffering or embarrassing them." Li Luo replied.

Xiao Enen's eyes turned red: "Why aren't father and father here? Where are father and father going?"

"Don't be afraid." Li Luo said, "Daddy and father...to test you, father and father will leave for a while and leave the younger brothers and sisters to you."

"Then I'm not afraid." Xiao Enen quickly smiled again, "I must be the best brother, I'm not afraid of others bullying them, I will give them the best things."

"Well, Daddy believes in you." Gu Junchen is thirty this year, and Xiao Enen is only five years old.One day, Gu Junchen and I will leave, and by that time, the other children will be handed over to Xiao Enen.Xiao Enen is still young now, but he will grow up slowly, and when he can be alone, they are leaving.Li Luo believes in the children he has educated, in his responsibility, in his wisdom and courage.

The distant sea, the dangerous running sea, but Li Luo must go.There are mysterious secrets, related to everything he wants to know.Is it the place of your dreams?

There were 20 groups of 20 official sons, and Li Luo left [-] of them.Let these [-] people go to the side courtyard to wait.Just when he wanted to get up and go over, Gu Junchen came.

"The Emperor is here."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"Get up." Gu Junchen waved his hand and walked up to Li Luo, "How are you doing? Are you tired?"

Li Luo shook his head: "Why are you here?"

"The emperor chooses a companion, so I naturally want to come and see. Who did you choose?" Gu Junchen asked.

"I chose Zhang Zhiqin, Zhang Jian's old son. There is also Aoyou's eldest son, seven years old, but he is tall and has a calm personality." Li Luo said.

travel? "Aoyou is now the minister of the Ministry of War. He chose his eldest son, who will also be a general in the future, and Zhang Jian's son will be a civil servant. That's right. What about Xigeer?"

"It's good for Xi Ge'er to accompany him as a cousin." Li Luo said, "Accompanying reading is just accompanying reading, cousin can take care of cousin."

"It's up to you." Gu Junchen never interfered with Li Luo's education methods, "But why did I hear that you chose [-], and the majority came to [-]?"

Li Luo knew that he was here to ask this question: "I plan to let them take classes and receive education with En En and the others. I will train them to be En En's future pure ministers, good emperors, no Maybe there are only companions around me. In my original world, for the cultivation of heirs, the affiliated families will also send their children to attend classes together, as the center of the next generation's power."

"I understand." Gu Junchen said, "But your current situation is not suitable for educating them?"

Li Luo thought for a while, "I have someone to choose. He's not very good at being an official, but he's good at teaching."

"Who?"

"Su Mu." Li Luodao, "Su Mu is not a shrewd official, but he has a good literary talent and is not a pedantic person. The most important thing is that he has no problem with his behavior and character, and he doesn't pay attention to power and status. The moral character of the Su family is really good."

"It's not just because of this that you made such an arrangement, right?" Gu Junchen knew Li Luo too well, and one step in the arrangement would lead to three steps.

Li Luo chuckled: "You still understand me. We have lived in Suxian Academy for so long, and we have seen every move of the Su family. The Su family is indeed a famous scholarly family with a lot of literary talent, but There are also many people who don't enter the official career. It is to help Enen consolidate the power of civil servants, and pulling Su Mu and Enen together is equivalent to pulling Su's family. What do you think?"

Gu Junchen nodded: "I have no objection."

"Of course, apart from En En, Zhang Zhiqin, and Li Zhengfei, the remaining eighteen people are too many. They need to be evaluated. Give them three months. After the evaluation, eight more people will be left. There is competition. They will work hard only if they are motivated." Li Luo said.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." He came here without business.It mainly depends on the situation of choosing a companion to read.

After Gu Junchen left, Li Luo went to the side hall.In the side hall, the children gathered together and chatted with Xiao Enen. Li Luo stood at the door for a while, signaling the palace servants to keep quiet.Of course, Xiao Enen was the one who spoke the loudest. He happily talked about his ball and his bicycle, and then shared his experience of being a good brother in the future.Looking at the obvious happiness on Xiao Enen's face, Li Luo suddenly realized that although Xi Geer often came to play with him in recent years, he was still lonely.The palace is so big, he is the only child, how can he not be lonely?

Li Luo called someone: "Go prepare some snacks, invite these children to have lunch in the palace, and at the same time go to these children's homes to talk about it, so as not to worry the parents."

"promise."

"By the way, go to prepare the venue. After lunch, after the children have a rest, I'll teach them how to play games." Li Luo said again.

"promise."

"The snacks prepared for the children are easy to digest, otherwise the lunch will fill up the stomach." Li Luo reminded carefully.

"promise."

Li Luo sent another person: "Go to Zhongyonghou's mansion and bring Xi Geer. Then go and send Su Mu to see me."

"promise."

Since Su Mu divorced Yang Yan and straightened Li Man, his backyard has stopped. Li Man has no other advantages. The only advantage is that women in the capital are jealous, she is very good at sex.After she was righted, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter in succession. A 25-year-old woman who gave birth to three children in five years, how can she not be envied

And now Li Man is 32.After her eldest son died that year, she first gave birth to a daughter, who is now six years old, and later gave birth to two sons, one is four years old and the other is one year old.For such a fertile woman, luck really lies ahead.

"My minister, Su Mu, sees Lord Hou." Su Mu was also nervous. He didn't know why Lord Li Xiaohou suddenly wanted to see him.Everyone in the capital knew that being summoned by Lord Li Xiaohou was definitely not a good thing.
