Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

The first greeting card Gu Yanshu received was from the Imperial Academy.

If it hadn't been for after opening the greeting post, it was discovered that the last signature was Wen Xuefei, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, Gu Yanshu would still wonder why Wen Qingxiao would send him the greeting post in the name of the Imperial Academy.

Wen Xuefei is Wen Qingxiao's father, and now that he has sent a greeting card, because of love and reason, Gu Yanshu should go see him.

However, before Gu Yanshu sent someone to the Hanlin Scholars' Mansion to reply, he received several greeting cards one after another.

Some were sent by the Minister of Rites, others by the Minister of Officials, Doctor Guanglu, and other officials who served in the Imperial Academy.

Before Gu Yanshu finished reading the stack of greeting cards in his hand, Xingren walked in from the door.

"Who sent a greeting card?"

This time, before Xingren even opened his mouth, Gu Yanshu already had a premonition, and calmly picked up the teacup.

"Back to the princess, this time it's the post from Lord Shoufu."

Xingren leaned over slightly, and presented the greeting card in front of Gu Yanshu.

"Pfft...cough cough cough...who are you talking about?"

No matter how calm Gu Yanshu was, he was unavoidably startled now, causing a sip of tea to choke his throat.

"If you go back to the princess, it's Mrs. Chief Assistant."

Xingren repeated in a calm tone.

It's not that Xingren has a stronger mental capacity than Gu Yanshu, but that Xingren was already surprised once when he received the greeting card.

After hearing the word "Shoufu" from Xingren's mouth again, Gu Yanshu directly reached out and took the greeting card.

After opening it, I didn't even look at the contents inside, I found the signature in the lower left corner, and sure enough, I saw Shoufu's private seal.

Looking at the greeting card in his hand, and then at the other greeting cards on the desk, Gu Yanshu felt a little confused for the first time.

What are these people trying to do?

It's no wonder that Gu Yanshu is like this, after all, there are not many officials who have good friends with Qin Lu.

Among the few officials, [-]% are generals.

But today, all the people who came to hand over the invitations were civil servants, and without exception, they were high-ranking civil servants.

These people have no contact with Qin Lu on weekdays. Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu have been married for so long, and they have never seen these people come to visit. Usually, they rarely hear their names from Qin Lu.

Now that these people suddenly handed over greeting cards saying they wanted to meet, and they all came together, it was hard for Gu Yanshu not to be confused.

Is it toward

Has the classroom changed?

Gu Yanshu guessed in his heart.

But soon, Gu Yanshu denied his guess.

If something really happened in the court, there would be no movement in the mansion.

But other than that, Gu Yanshu really couldn't find the reason why these civil servants were so abnormal.

Even Gu Yanshu can't make a good decision at this time:

"Let's leave the invitation for now, let the prince come over when he comes back, and then make a decision."

Even the invitation card of Hanlin scholar Wen Xuefei was put back by Gu Yanshu.

"Yes."

Xingren could also guess the worries in Gu Yanshu's heart, leaned slightly, put the invitation on the desk, and retreated from the study.

Afterwards, Gu Yanshu received several greeting cards one after another.

Gu Yanshu flipped through it slightly, and found that, like the previous ones, they were all sent by civil servants.

Taking advantage of Qin Lu's time before he returned to his residence, Gu Yanshu dug out these invitations and made observations and comparisons.

Soon Gu Yanshu discovered what these people had in common:

Except for all civil servants, almost all of them have served in the court for some years, and there are two veterans of the two dynasties among them.

So without exception, these people are all elderly people.

After discovering this, Gu Yanshu had a faint guess in his heart.

However, the clue in his heart flashed by, and before Gu Yanshu could grasp it, Qin Lu had already walked in from the door, interrupting Gu Yanshu's thoughts.

"My king has already heard from Xingren about the matter of paying respects to the post," Qin Lu said before entering the door, before even waiting for Gu Yanshu to ask, "It's not a big deal, the princess doesn't need to worry."

Qin Lu's tone made Gu Yanshu feel something:

"The prince's words seem to know the reason why these adults handed over the invitations?"

"Indeed." Qin Lu nodded slightly, not showing off, "Speaking of which, it has something to do with the father."

"Father?" The feeling that just appeared in Gu Yanshu's mind resurfaced again.

Qin Lu nodded slightly, with a rather helpless tone:

"Didn't the Heavenly King's Mansion ask me to give my father a pair of reading glasses and a magnifying glass?"

Afterwards, Qin Lu told Gu Yanshu what the emperor had done these days.

Gu Yanshu was stunned when he heard it, he never thought that the emperor would do such a thing.

It turned out that after receiving the telescope and other items sent by Qin Lu that day, the emperor first took a look at the telescope.

However, due to being in the palace, the effect of the telescope was limited. After a while, the emperor paid attention to it.

He reluctantly put it aside.

At this time, the emperor thought of the glasses and magnifying glass sent by Prince Li's mansion.

Then he took it out and used it.

With this use, the emperor found that the thing was really easy to use, his eyes were not blurred, it was not difficult to see things, and the speed of processing memorials was much faster than usual.

So these two things became the emperor's favorite things, and he took them with him wherever he went.

Yesterday the emperor summoned all the ministers to the imperial study to discuss matters. While talking, the emperor took out his glasses and magnifying glass while reading official documents.

At that time, all the officials in the imperial study room were ministers in the court, and most of them were veterans who had served Tianqi for ten, even 20 or even 30 years.

Naturally, he is much more courageous than those courtiers who have just entered the court.

When seeing the two things that the emperor took out that had never been seen before, some people couldn't help but wonder.

He stood up directly and asked the emperor what these two things were.

The emperor was still in high spirits at the time, when he heard the minister's inquiry.

Immediately, he stopped talking about the business and did not read the official documents, and directly introduced the two new treasures to several courtiers.

The words are extremely ostentatious, directly boasting the magnifying glass and the reading glasses that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth.

At that time, most of the courtiers in the imperial study were veterans who served Tianqi conscientiously, and more or less had some old problems that could not see clearly.

Hearing that there are such good things as glasses and magnifying glasses, where can I sit still?

Even if you have the courage to express, you want to try the magic of these two things.

At this time, the emperor has already experienced the pleasure of showing off his treasures to others, so there is no reason why he should not be allowed.

Immediately with a wave of his hand, he let the courtiers feel these two things for themselves.

The courtiers were of different ages, and the prescriptions of their eyes were also different. In order to allow the emperor to use reading glasses, Gu Yanshu made the reading glasses slightly smaller.

So for some older courtiers, the effect of reading glasses is actually not satisfactory.

But the magnifying glass has no degree and can be used by everyone.

But after feeling it for a while, the courtiers had already realized the benefits of these two things, and they were a little unwilling to return them to the emperor for a while.

Seeing this, the emperor immediately snatched the things back.

But in the end, they are all loyal and loyal veterans. Seeing the princes hesitate to speak, looking at the longing eyes of the reading glasses and the magnifying glass, the emperor can't bear it.

report directly

Tell these ministers that the things were sent by Prince Li's mansion, if you want them, you can ask King Li for them.

After showing off a satisfying emperor, he just threw the mess to Prince Li's mansion.

That's why there are many high-ranking ministers scrambling to deliver invitations to Prince Li's mansion today.

"Father is really..."

Rao Gu Yanshu didn't know how to evaluate the emperor's behavior at this time.

"If the concubine doesn't want to see her, she will refuse..."

Seeing Gu Yanshu rubbing his forehead, Qin Lu mistakenly thought that Gu Yanshu felt a headache because of these invitations.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yanshu:

"How can I refuse all of them? What is the image of the lord in the hearts of these veterans? The lord himself doesn't know? Now the opportunity is rare, so naturally we have to meet!"

Isn't it a rare opportunity?

If nothing happened, Prince Li's mansion would be caught in the braids by the First Prince's faction if they interacted with these courtiers.

It is said that Prince Li's mansion is forming a party for personal gain, with evil intentions.

However, the behavior of these courtiers to hand over the invitations has all been cleared by the emperor, and no one can say that there is a mistake.

Once Qin Lu was reprimanded by Gu Yanshu, he didn't dare to express his opinion indiscriminately, so he handed it over to Gu Yanshu to deal with it.

But there are nearly [-] greeting cards in total, even Gu Yanshu can't meet them one by one.

In the end, Gu Yanshu simply grabbed Qin Lu and wrote replies to these courtiers one by one.

In order to express the meaning of the invitation, Li Wangfu has already understood.

It stands to reason that you are all ministers of the imperial court, and now that there is a demand, Prince Li's residence should not shirk it.

But things like glasses are special and need to be tailored according to the current condition of each person's glasses, so I still have to ask you adults to come to the door in person.

It just so happened that the main courtyard of Prince Li's Mansion was about to be repaired, and if the adults didn't mind it, they could participate in the Wenju Banquet held by the Palace in five days' time.

After seeing reading glasses and magnifying glasses in the imperial study room, these ministers were extremely eager.

It can be seen from these last actions that he did not hesitate to let go of his old face and pay homage to the ground of Prince Li's mansion, his desire for reading glasses and magnifying glasses.

Now that I have received an invitation from Prince Li's Mansion, how can there be any reason to refuse it?

He quickly sent someone to send a reply to Prince Li's Mansion, saying that he would come to Prince Li's Mansion for a banquet on time in five days.

The communication between Prince Li's Mansion and these ministers did not cover up anything.

It is conceivable that it naturally spread to the ears of the First Prince.

These days Qin Lu sends things to the emperor from time to time

, while brushing up favorability, it naturally overwhelmed the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was in a hurry to get angry because of this, and now he heard that so many high-ranking ministers had intersected with Prince Li's mansion, how could he sit still?

Suddenly, the tea sets in the First Prince's Mansion were smashed to pieces.

"Where did he get so many strange things?"

Faced with the eldest prince's question from the soul, several staff members looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer.

If they knew what was going on in Prince Li's mansion, they wouldn't be sitting here.

Some people had some vague guesses in their hearts, but when they saw the First Prince's furious expression, they finally swallowed back the words that came to their lips:

Forget it, Wuying's guess, after saying it, I won't be able to please myself.

The eldest prince was in a state of desperation in his mansion, while Gu Yanshu continued to write his invitation card in his mansion.

Those ministers who promised to attend the Wenju Banquet at the mansion in five days were all of high authority, and there was no one there except for going to court on weekdays.

Now that Prince Li's Mansion can invite all the people here at once, it can be said to be a rare opportunity.

Why don't you seize this opportunity and let those under your command show their faces?

The most important thing is to send a copy to Wen Qingxiao.

All of these civil servants who are extremely talented ministers have extremely high attainments in literature, and at the same time, they also have a very high status in the hearts of literati.

The daily newspaper will start to be published in the next year, so Wen Qingxiao can take advantage of this opportunity to order a few more manuscripts for future use.
