Chapter 371 Minimalism

The Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair was held as I wished, and the number of people was more than I expected. I also invited several servants and doctors from Tianguan and Chunguan, this year's chief examiner Li Jixiu, and several new scholars, but the poems were not as good as they were. Part of it is because the reputation of this poetry meeting is not too great, and part of it is because most of the attendees are young scholars, and their knowledge of poetry and literature is far from the peak level.

However, I still selected a few people among them. They are not excellent, but they can speak clearly, their poems are appropriate, and they are calm in dealing with people. The most important ones are all in their thirties. Not cynical, wanting to find someone to rely on, but not a person who is very good at drilling camps, although he has passed the test, but has not been selected by the heavenly official, either he has been an official for several years and has achieved nothing, or he is out of the stream, Going around with the Ninth Rank petty officials—talked to these people one by one, and selected the two most capable of them, together with the children of Zheng, Cui, Webster, Dugu, and Dugu Shao's brother-in-law's family, joined together There were ten people, including Doulu Qinwang, Yang Zaisi, Lou Shide, Di Renjie and Wang Fangqing.

Most of these people are in their 30s and [-]s. Given their seniority in official positions, they are naturally not worthy of me personally, let alone entrusting these people. This is done specially in order to owe these people a small favor first, and then they will entrust me with something. Even if you don't ask me, if something happens, I will help you without being obtrusive. This is what A Huan taught me, the way to get along in the officialdom nowadays.

These five people have never rejected my entrustment, six out of ten people will be promoted, and four people will wait for the imperial examination next year, and someone has come to me to explain to me euphemistically, so that these people don't have to worry.

Since then, I have hosted several banquets, always using one name or another, not specially arranged for this matter, but without showing any traces of the person I entrusted, the close relatives of the person I entrusted, and the important ministers I entrusted. Invitation is also included, and the exchange of rewards at the table can be regarded as some friendship.Dou Lu Qinwang has a deeper friendship with Yang Zaisi and I, and Lou Shide is very informal. When I met these three people, I would withdraw the curtain halfway, talking and laughing happily.Wang Fangqing came from an aristocratic family, so I didn't overdo it in the slightest. Pei Lansheng also prepared some poems, books, etiquette and genealogy knowledge for me in advance, and he was always by his side during the banquet, answering the questions on his behalf. My impression seems to be good.Among these people, it was Di Renjie who declined my invitation by claiming illness, which surprised me a bit.

Speaking of which, Di Renjie still has a little relationship with me: Ever since I knew that my mother was the female emperor in history, my enthusiasm for famous figures in this dynasty has skyrocketed. Unfortunately, my knowledge is limited, and all I can remember are Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Chen Ziang, Di Renjie and others, plus Song Zhiwen, Su Weiwei and other characters whose names they only remember a bit.King Li Du was either not born yet, or he was still young. I tried my best to inquire, but I never got a word. You have offended everyone all over the place, especially like to criticize the powerful. Unfortunately, I am classified as a "powerful" myself, so I don't dare to provoke him. Besides, apart from his famous poem, I really don't know what his strengths and weaknesses are. Di Renjie is not the same, he is a well-recognized name by posterity (in TV dramas), and there are many stories about investigating cases, defeating martial arts, and admonishing - although I don't know these stories However, such a legend must have some status in the history books—so I mentioned him intentionally or unintentionally to my mother. Because he was from Bingzhou, my mother remembered his memorial to impeach Wei Ji back then. He asked several times with great interest, and since then he has risen steadily, was framed twice and relegated, and was soon called back.

Di Renjie definitely didn't know about this origin before, otherwise he wouldn't have impeached military studies, etc. Now he is willing to agree to the request of someone who has no relationship with me, maybe he knows it—but he declined my invitation with a look of displeasure. The appearance of wishing to be a close friend makes me wonder whether he knows the current situation and deliberately avoids suspicion.

Unlike before, now I am more willing to think about people in a complicated way. When I see Di Renjie's actions, my first reaction is not whether he is extraordinarily upright, but whether he is cunning and sees through the situation. Once I think this way, I will refer to What he usually does, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this person is tactful. After being rejected once, he didn't dare to try to win him over again.

Cui Mingde met Cui Xiu at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Conference and had a private conversation. After talking for a while, Cui Xiu met me again after we came out. A few days later, Cui Xiu entered Li Zhaode’s door. Both of them are children of rich families. Li Zhaode, who has contacts in the world, and is also a courtier, Li Zhaode is quite amiable.While the conversation was in full swing, Cui Xiu suddenly uttered a stern advice, urging Li Zhaode to restrain himself, to abide by his duties as a courtier, and not to use his power alone.As expected, Li Zhaode didn't take it seriously, and claimed to be a loyal and diligent emperor, who dared to do things and was not afraid of rumors.After Cui Xiu went out, this conversation somehow spread. One month later, rumors of Li Zhaode's domineering began to spread in the capital. Although it was only circulated in the market, it was even heard in my house.

Not long after, Dugu Shao came looking for me, and put a box on my desk without saying a word: "Mingde asked me to collect these for you."

I didn't intend to make fun of what she called Cui Mingde, so I opened the small box, picked a piece of paper out of the box, glanced at it, and kept my mouth shut.

Dugu Shao looked at me, stretched out his hand suddenly, and thumped my shoulder: "I just realized that a thin person is really comfortable to hug, small and delicate, like a bird, you hold Wei Si , is that the same feeling?"

When I mentioned A Huan, I couldn't help but smile: "I just think she's too thin, I wish she could eat more. As for holding her up...fat or thin, as long as she's comfortable, she'll be comfortable no matter what."

Dugu Shao smiled: "Yes, yes, it should be said that as long as it is her, everything is comfortable - you are old in this way, so coaxing Wei Siyi to think that it is only you, not like me... I will ask you for advice in the future .”

I rolled my eyes at her, took out a scroll of paintings from the case, and stuffed them into her hands. When Dugu Shao saw the painting, his face was full of spring tides, and he couldn't wait to unfold the scroll, and his eyes widened after a glance :"What's this?"

I laughed: "This is a 'caricature', which is to anthropomorphize the lines and depict the characteristics of the human body. The paintings are concise and clear, and can also be kept confidential. If someone accidentally sees them, they will not notice them. You entrusted me to write it for you—how, why don’t you thank me properly?”

Dugu Shao's face was distorted like a simple erotic line drawn by me - I never expected that a person like her would come to ask me about bed positions and how to please the other party on the bed. Don't tell her. After all, we have been friends for many years, and she is also at this age. It is really pitiful to think about it. Tell her, I always feel a little embarrassed, as if I am revealing my secrets , and this person usually has a heroic style and a sense of loyalty. A pair of Cui Er is like a mouse meeting a cat. Pai, let her comprehend it by herself, so I specially used a very simple painting method to describe all kinds of things in a hazy way, which is easy for ordinary people to understand——I saw her complexion was not good, so I hurriedly put away the box and moved Topic: "I'm entering the palace right now—do you have anything to say to me? No? Then I'm leaving, see you later!"
