Tragedy of Time Traveling Companion Reading

Han Yan believes in the powerful inertia of history about revision, and at the same time believes in the persistence of the human heart.So when Liu Che took Dong Zhongshu's article and read it three times in a row.Han Yan just rolled her eyes calmly, and cursed secretly in her heart: grass mud horse.

"Okay, okay, okay, Dong Zhongshu's answer sheet is really perfect!" Liu Che said to Han Yan excitedly: "It seems that this talent selection was really successful. I would like to meet this person in person. Dong Zhongshu, let's see what kind of splendid articles he still has in his chest."

After talking for a while, I found that Han Yan was standing quietly with her hands hanging down. Suddenly remembering Han Yan's various rejections of Confucianism, she couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, turned her head and said: "However, some other Legalists, There are also quite a few outstanding students from strategists, military strategists, etc. Although the articles may not be beautiful, but what they say is reasonable. In particular, I specially read the article by Dongfang Shuo, which is really humorous and interesting."

As Liu Che spoke, he picked out a test paper from the piles of test papers on the table, cleared his throat, and read it himself: "Chen Shuo lost his parents, the elder brother took care of his sister-in-law. Year [-], learning books... fifteen Learn fencing, learn "Poetry" and "Book" at sixteen...nineteen learn Sun and Wu's Art of War..."

Hearing this, Han Yan couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Han Yan was happy, Liu Che couldn't help throwing the test paper, and went up to make fun of him, saying, "You're really cheeky, I've never seen such a boastful person."

Dongfang Shuo's humor is well-known in history, so Han Yan is not surprised.Now, after hearing Liu Che's words, my heart moved, and I said, "Perhaps he is so confident because he has real skills. It's not that there is a good saying. A crazy person naturally has the capital to be crazy."

He said this because Dongfang Shuo in history was full of talent and quick wit because of his personality and other reasons, but he was never reused in his life.He just acted as a plaything like a courtier and stayed by Liu Che's side.Now that he has the opportunity, he doesn't care about such a few good words. If Dongfang Shuo is really capable, give him a chance and just work hard on his own.

"Then let him wait for the imperial bus!" Liu Che said indifferently.Looking at Han Yan, he tentatively turned the topic to Dong Zhongshu. "What do you think of Dong Zhongshu's exam papers? I've heard people say that I've heard you mention it before. Do you think it's possible to implement what he said?"

What Liu Che meant was to ask Han Yan, and at the same time to test the empress dowager's attitude.

Han Yan frowned indistinctly, a trace of boredom flashed quickly in her eyes.But he said lightly: "Isn't there still an interview with an examiner and a palace test? What is it? Your Majesty only needs to circulate this examination paper among the ministers. Those ministers will naturally ask questions. Your Majesty just listen to their questions more. "

After hitting a soft nail, Liu Che shut up embarrassingly.Looking up at the sky outside, he said with a smile: "It's getting late, tell the eunuch to pass on the meal!"

Chuntuo bowed and agreed.

Liu Che smiled at Han Yan and said, "Today, I specially ordered the eunuch to make your favorite Poria cocos cake and mutton, and opened a pot of palace brewed Zijinchun by the way."

There was actually a slight flattery in his expression.

For some reason, Han Yan's face became hot, she turned her head uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "I'm just about to eat!"

……

After dinner, Han Yan left the palace with a smile on her face holding the unfinished half altar of Palace Brewed Purple Gold Alcohol.When we got back to the Han Mansion, we heard from the porter that Guo Xie had returned.

Han Yan raised her eyebrows excitedly, and when she entered the lobby, she saw Guo Xie's hulking figure standing in the middle.

"I've seen Mr. Ayan." Hearing the voice behind him, Guo Xie turned around and bowed to salute.

"How is it?" Han Yan asked bluntly.

Although he didn't ask clearly, Guo Xie naturally understood what Han Yan was asking, and immediately said with a smile, "It's been done. You didn't see that when I brought the woman to Liu Ling, Her face is really pretty."

After a pause, he gloated and added: "She will definitely be very grateful to the young master."

"Thank you to my eightfold ancestor!" Han Yan said indifferently, and seeing Guo Xie's suspicious face, she explained: "I'm afraid she hates me to death, and now Liu An can no longer trust her wholeheartedly. .”

"I didn't trust much before." Guo Xie said indifferently. "I heard from my friends in Huainan that the King of Huainan has kept that singer in a very remote place in the back house, and usually does not allow Liu Ling to see her."

Han Yan's heart moved, and she suddenly asked: "Who is your friend in Huainan, can you tell me?"

"There's nothing to say about that." Guo Xie waved his hand, "It's a swordsman named Lei Bei, and he's been favored by the King of Huainan. But it seems that he has some issues with Liu Qian, the son of the King of Huainan. The past few days have been going well. It's not very comfortable either. Hearing about me, I still want to go to the son!"

"It's not in a hurry." Han Yan subconsciously shook her head and said thoughtfully. "You let him stay in Huainan with peace of mind first, maybe I have something to ask him for!"

Guo Xie nodded and replied, "Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the servants who passed the dishes came in one file.But it turned out that it was Han Yan who found out that Guo Xie had just come back, too busy traveling, and probably hadn't eaten yet.Hastily ordered Han Zhong to prepare a table of delicious food, which was regarded as a welcome for Guo Xie.

Putting half of the palace-brewed purple gold alcohol in her hand on the table, Han Yan patted the jar and said to Guo Xie with a smile: "This is palace-brewed purple gold alcohol, which ordinary people can't drink. It's your day." You are lucky, my lord, I brought a jar of good wine from the palace to welcome you."

Guo Xie smelled the mellow aroma of the wine, cupped his fists in thanks and said, "Thank you, my lord."

After eating with Guo Xie, and sending someone to boil a hot bath for Guo Xie to refresh him, Han Yan wandered back to the back house.Walking to the bathroom, she casually undressed, the steaming hot spring water moistened her cheeks, Han Yan got into the water naked, and narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.

A shadow stood in front of him, and someone said, "It's really enjoyable, drinking my good wine with others, how does it feel?"

Han Yan opened her eyes without any surprise, and seeing Liu Che's slightly angry face, she couldn't help but sighed and said, "Why are you here again?"

"Of course you don't want me to come." Liu Che sneered, "Otherwise I wouldn't have seen you give away my wine to someone else!"

"Hey!" Han Yan covered her forehead with a headache, "It's just half a jar of wine, and I rewarded him. You know what he did, and this is a great achievement. Besides, he doesn't have any other hobbies. I just like to drink good wine. I don’t think he has drunk Zijinchun, the palace brew, so I just give him a taste.”

"Hmph!" Liu Che tightened his nose in dissatisfaction, but asked directly: "Liu Ling is just a little girl who has just reached her age, what can you do, you have spent too much time."

"What kind of abilities this woman Liu Ling has, you will know later." Han Yan did not hesitate to elaborate, after all, he has not completely subdued Liu Ling yet.

"Forget it, you can do whatever you want!" Seeing that Han Yan closed her eyes tiredly, Liu Che curled her lips and said, "It's just that you are not allowed to give the things I gave you to others as favors."

"Understood." Han Yan replied sullenly.

Only then did Liu Che open his arms, untied his clothes and jumped into the pool, soaking up with Han Yan.

The second day was the interview with the examiner. Han Yan wanted to balance the theories of various schools and stabilize the lineage of the empress dowager.The selected examiners are all representatives of various schools of thought in the imperial court, including Xu Chang from Huang Laozhi, Wei Wan and Dou Ying from Confucianism, Zhou Yafu from military strategists, and so on.The interview lasted ten days and one morning before it was completely over.

Even so, the number of students who stayed has reached [-].Most of them are naturally talented and learned, and of course some of them are from well-known families. Although these people are a little weaker in knowledge, but they have connections, and their scheming is not too bad.The most important thing is to really have a heart to serve the court, so Han Yan worked hard in all aspects, and after the investigation, she also retained nearly [-] people.

All these people will participate in the Great Court Meeting five days later, and His Majesty will personally interview them.So the staff of the Taichang Administration have been busy these few days, trying to make up for the etiquette of Mianjun to these students.The children of the aristocratic family are not bad, but the poor children have never seen such a high-ranking official in their life, so the process of learning etiquette is naturally painful.Han Yan watched from the side, quite like the "laughing" effect of a little swallow learning palace rules.Among them, the most notable one was Dongfang Shuo, who was assigned to the Public Transport Department by default. He was really humorous and full of jokes.

After finally arriving at the fifth day of junior high school, these people can barely be pulled out for a stroll.Han Yan ordered them to change into the white robes they had just made, which were modeled on the uniforms of the academy students of later generations.It really has a graceful and elegant demeanor when worn.Han Yan looked at everyone's appearance and nodded in satisfaction.

The sound of bells and drums sounded, and a court official chanted that all the ministers and workers entered the hall.After the Shanhu long live, Liu Che said: "The purpose of today's court meeting is to examine these newly selected scholars. When it comes to practical aspects, you may wish to speak freely. Let's also see if these students are suitable for placement. Go to the department of the imperial court."

All the ministers and workers suddenly agreed.The ceremony officer began to sing, and all the students entered the court hall with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes according to the rules.After the Shanhu shouted Long Live, they all stood there holding their breath.Liu Che glanced around and asked, "Who is Dong Zhongshu?"

"Caomin is here!" A young Confucian scholar with a clean face stepped forward and knelt down and said.

"Raise your head and let me take a look." Liu Che said calmly.

Dong Zhongshu listened to the order, and according to the etiquette taught by the eunuch, he raised his head slowly, looking at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart, not daring to look left and right at all.Seeing this man's rough and dark skin, deep wrinkles on his forehead, and bulging eyelids, Liu Che was a little nervous.She was not as graceful as she had imagined, and she couldn't help but darken her eyes in disappointment.Subconsciously, she turned her head and glanced at Han Yan, who was like a jade tree, and then looked at the other servants in the court hall, which one was not majestic and extraordinary.

The first impression was a bit disappointing, but thinking about the examination paper, Liu Che still asked patiently: "Dare to ask, sir, the examination paper puts forward the theory of the relationship between heaven and man, and believes that the emperor is the son of heaven, and he must follow the heavens to rule the merits of all generations. Then Master thought that when the ancient sage kings ruled the world, the world was peaceful, but later the king’s way declined and the country collapsed. The Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties were risen by the destiny, what is the reason for that?"
