Jade of Rebirth

On that day, Yuli took the article she wrote and was going to Qingtong Academy to seek advice.

The candidate he was looking for was Zhang Siren, the prince Xima of the current dynasty. Zhang Siren was born as a Jinshi. He used to be secretary Lang and Zhongshu Sheren. Yuanchen political affairs, arts and sciences.Zhang Siren is a man of high aspirations and deeds, he does not flaunt himself, and writes excellent articles, which is quite praised by literati. The prime minister of the right, Zhang Zemin, and Yuzhangci all praised him. Originally, Yuzhangci could be recommended by Yuli, but Zhang Siren, as a Teacher Prince, whose identity is ambiguous, emperors have always tabooed the relationship between the prince and the prime minister, so in private, Yuzhangci has little contact with Zhang Siren, and it is inconvenient to introduce Yuli.

Although Zhang Siren is the crown prince, he often comes to Qingtong Academy. Because of his good articles, many Guozijian students like to ask him for advice. Naturally, not everyone sees him. Most people need to submit their own papers first. Famous posts and manuscripts, he was willing to see them after reading them, so he was able to see them. Otherwise, he would not be able to see them even if he stood outside the door.

Therefore, today Yuli picked out the articles he thought were the best and the ones that Yuzhangci selected for him, and came to visit Zhang Siren, hoping to get his favor and give him some advice on writing articles.

He came to the door of Zhang Siren's room, and saw three or four people waiting at the door, probably all of them came to ask to see Zhang Siren.He passed these people, and said to the servants guarding the door: "Boy Yuli, my father is Yugong, Prime Minister of the Zuo, and I am here to pay a visit to Mr. Zhang today. I hope I can accommodate you." Passed it along with a silver coin.

The doorman got his money, took his name card and papers, and said: "Please wait here for a while, my lord."

Yu Li saluted and waited respectfully at the door.

A gray-clothed young man at the side obviously came from a poor family. Seeing Yuli dressed in extraordinary clothes, but with a feminine and handsome appearance, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and said in a sour tone to the person next to him: "You are so handsome, and you look so handsome." It's strange, is it a young lady from some family who disguised herself as a woman?"

The people around him snickered, and another young man in light blue smiled and said, "Maybe, the poems on the paper are probably 'resentment', 'spring poems' and the like!"

Yuli was not angry when she heard the people around her laughing at her, she just stood still and waited quietly.

Seeing that he ignored him, the young man beside him became more unscrupulous, and even began to comment on Yuli's figure.

Seeing that they were talking too much, Yuli couldn't help turning her head away, her dark almond eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a cold tone: "My little brother is not talented, I am grateful for the teachings of my dear brothers. They are outstanding talents. I wonder if I have heard of Du Gong. A poem from the Ministry?"

"What kind of advice does this girl seem to have? I'd like to hear more about it!" The gray-clothed youth said with a playful expression, very frivolous.

Yu Li smiled slightly, with a sarcasm in his tone: "Wang Yang Luluo was decent at the time, and his frivolity was unremarkable..." He didn't need to recite the following two sentences, and the faces of the people opposite him were already red and green.

"You are so loud!" The young man in light blue clothes was angry, and he was about to grab Yuli's collar, but Wu Yeti directly blocked him with his unsheathed sword:

"I advise you not to act rashly, this is Qingtong Academy, not a brothel restaurant."

After hearing this, Yuli couldn't help laughing: "My servants understand the truth, but you, as scholars, don't understand it. You make fun of others in front of others and speak frivolously." "Liu', what's wrong?"

Hearing this, several people looked embarrassed and lowered their heads one after another.

At this time, the doorman came out of the room and said: "Young Master Yu, Young Master Pei, Master please come in."

Yu Li glanced to the side, and saw that the young man who had been standing silently just now also came out together, and the others looked unwilling and disheartened.He was very pleased...how could the article catch Zhang Siren's eyes because of his frivolous character?

He entered the room together with Mr. Pei, and saw Zhang Siren wearing a brown straight gown, leaning on a low table, putting the papers on the small case beside him, staring intently.The two saluted him and greeted him, and he turned his head, showing a face that was almost the same age as Yu Zhangci, and said: "I read the papers of the two of you, and each has its own merits. The article written by you It’s like hiding delicacies in wax, the intention is good, but it’s a pity that the rhetoric is too simple and dry, like chewing wax, it has no taste, and you need to chew it repeatedly to get the taste. Yuli’s article..."

Yuli was extremely nervous.

I saw Zhang Siren smiled slightly, and said: "After all, you are still young, your father is usually busy with political affairs, and neglects your homework teaching..."

Yu Li's heart suddenly sank, sure enough, his writing is still not good?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhang Siren say, "It's just that Xiao He has only shown her sharp edges, so there is still room for improvement."

Yu Li was overjoyed when he heard this, but he held back his joy and asked cautiously and respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, this junior doesn't know what's wrong with my articles. I hope Mr. Zhang can point me out."

Zhang Siren stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "Your article is like a clear spring, trickling down, clear and beautiful, but the layout is a bit smaller after all, if it can be like a big river, the ocean is unrestrained, the sky is ethereal, and the weather will be more beautiful." widened."

Yu Li seemed to understand but didn't understand, glanced at Pei Junqi who was at the side, and saw that he didn't seem to understand, so he asked Zhang Siren: "Then according to Mr. Zhang, how should the two of us improve?"

Pei Junqi glanced at him silently, and then said respectfully: "Your junior, I respectfully ask Mr. Zhang for advice."

Zhang Siren thought for a while, and said, "I'll write a few sentences for you two, you can take them back and refer to them." Then, he took a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a few sentences, one sentence is "Paste gold and trace red, decorate it beautifully ", the sentence is "Looking at the sky and looking at the earth, hearing the people", and then handed the note to the two.

What Yuli got was "looking down at the sky and looking at the earth, hearing the people". Although he couldn't comprehend it for a while, he still felt like he had found a treasure. He thanked Zhang Siren again and again, and then left respectfully.

As soon as he left Zhang Siren's room, Wu Yeti greeted him and whispered in his ear:

"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince welcomes you."

Yu Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go." He raised his legs and wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't said goodbye to Pei Jun, so he turned around and said to Pei Jun who came out together: "Mr. You go to drink tea together, but my younger brother suddenly has something to do, so I have to go first, and next time I have a chance to invite Mr. Pei to drink tea and discuss."

Pei Junqi glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids, and responded in a low voice.

"Farewell." Although Yu Li felt that Pei Jun's name was a bit strange, but because the two met for the first time, he didn't find it abrupt. He just felt that Pei Jun's name seemed familiar. He didn't know where he had heard it before, but he couldn't think of it for a while. Woke up.

He followed Wu Yeti to the depths of Qingtong Academy, entered the courtyard where he had been last time, and saw two guards who often followed Yuan Heng standing at the door, one of which he was particularly familiar with was Shuilongyin, and Shuilongyin saw He came, smiled at him and said:

"The third son Yu is here, the master is waiting for you."

Yu Li also smiled at him, stepped over the threshold to enter, and Wu Yeti was left outside the door.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yuan Heng was studying a chessboard, his brows and eyes were very irritable, when he heard the movement, he immediately raised his head and said with a smile: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yu Li raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What are you waiting for me?"

"I saw you waiting at Zhang Siren's door just now, so I guessed that you were asking him for advice. What, what did he say?" Yuan Heng straightened up, dropped the chess piece in his hand, lifted his coat, and sat on the top chair under the window. sat down.

Yuli didn't hide from him, and said: "My article is not well done, so I asked him to read it, but he only gave me eight words, saying that I should 'look at the sky and see the earth, and hear the people'."

When Yuan Heng heard this, the corners of his lips twitched into a smile: "He thinks your article is petty."

Yuli didn't expect Yuan Heng to be able to explain Zhang Siren's mystery in a single word, and he couldn't help feeling admiration for him while feeling displeased, but he didn't show it, and glared at him, saying: "Your article is magnificent."

Yuan Heng stared at his pretty face full of anger, rested his head on one hand, leaned on the chair to look at him, and said with a smile: "You are not angry when others say you are a girl, I just broke what Zhang Siren gave you. Criticism, you are angry with me, why am I the only one who doesn't welcome you?"

Yu Li became more and more angry, and turned to look at him suspiciously: "How do you know that others made fun of me?"

"Let me tell you the truth, the owner of Qingtong Academy is my father, there are eyeliners everywhere, and it is about you, how could I not know?"

Yu Li was taken aback... Emperor Zhang Wu was actually the master of Qingtong Academy!

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. All the talented and talented people in the world were recruited under his command. If he could do this without being taboo, who else could it be except the emperor?

Moreover, by doing so, he put almost all young talents, empresses of officials, and humble scholars under his eyes. Who will be able to bear important responsibilities in the future, and who should be like a master, must already have something in his heart...

No wonder few courtiers came to Qingtong Academy, such as his father, such as some officials who came from Jinshi, almost no one came here, maybe they were aware of it in their hearts?

Seeing that he didn't know what he was thinking, Yuan Heng couldn't help but said: "Actually, you have doubts about the article, so you don't have to go to Zhang Siren."

Yu Li sneered: "Zhang Siren is a master of articles in the world, if I don't go to him, why don't I come to you?"

Yuan Heng was actually amused by him, chuckled lightly, and said, "If you want to find me, I'm very welcome, but it's not me."

"Who is that?"

"My teacher." Yuan Heng said with a smug face, "My teacher Lu Jingrong!"

The princes who were about the same age should have been taught by the same teacher, but Yuan Heng is a mute, so he was taught by Lu Jingrong alone.Lu Jingrong is good at poetry and prose, and his articles are not bad. He and Zhang Siren are like Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu in Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yuli also smiled: "You just don't want me to go to the prince's teacher, even this has to be competitive."

Yuan Heng said very frankly: "I'm jealous!"

Yu Li blinked: "Huh?"

Yuan Heng especially likes his blank expression, he looks blank, his almond eyes are round, his red lips are slightly parted, it is very attractive, he can't wait to rub him into his arms and never let go!

But he still held back: "It's nothing, I will introduce Mr. Lu to you when the time comes, so that you won't have to beg for help again."

Yu Li narrowed her starry eyes suspiciously: "I'm a little flattered that you treat me so well all of a sudden, do you have some ulterior purpose?"

Yuan Heng: ...

"Yes, yes, I do have an ulterior purpose..."

"What purpose?" Yu Li was full of vigilance.

"Come here, I'll tell you." Yuan Heng hooked his hands at him, with a malicious smile in his beautiful and narrow phoenix eyes.

Yu Li became more and more vigilant, but he was not afraid of Yuan Heng, so he took a few steps towards him, and before he could stand still, he was pulled into his arms by Yuan Heng:

"Because I'm looking for an opportunity to lighten you!"
