Chapter 52 The Return
There was no one around the carriage, and the stools were placed beside the carriage, as if they knew that someone would get on the carriage, and had prepared it specially.
Qingping stepped on the stool and got into the car. Incense balls were burning in the car, and the carbon cage gave off a sense of warmth. There was a small table in the middle, and Chu Jun was lazily leaning on the soft pillow. : "Please sit down."
Her appearance was not at all as modest and polite as she was to the officials of the Ministry of Rites just now. Instead, she was very casual, saying please, without any intention of respecting the guests.
Qingping looked at her coldly, His Royal Highness Xin Wang stretched his waist, tilted his head and smiled lazily and said: "Long time no see, Qingping, don't come here without any problems."
Qing Ping was extremely calm in his heart, and saluted her: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, everything is fine, Your Majesty."
They looked at each other through the little couple, as if many years ago.Chu Jun smiled slightly, reached out to pick up the teapot, poured her a glass of water, gently pushed the teacup in front of Qingping, Qingping touched the edge of the cup and said, "Could it be another bar?"
Chu Jun rested his chin with one hand, and lightly touched her side with the teacup in the other hand: "You can't drink alcohol during the filial piety period, and treat guests with tea."
Qingping simply didn't think about disturbing the past, anyway, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't compare to Chu Jun's methods. She looked down at the water in the teacup, thought for a while, and drank it down in one gulp.
The tea was fragrant, Qingping put the empty cup back on the table, Chu Jun suddenly grabbed her wrist, her slender knuckles rubbed against the back of Qingping's wrist, bringing a delicate and cool touch.Qingping suddenly felt a sense of being entangled by snakes. She endured the discomfort and insisted on not withdrawing her hand. Fortunately, Chu Jun let go of her within a short time, and sat upright, saying, "You seem to have grown up, Qingping. "
Qing Ping secretly paid her the actual meaning of what she said, and for a while she couldn't figure out what Jun wanted to do.She weighed herself, she has neither power nor power, Chu Jungui is a princess, so does she still need to win over herself?
Chu Jun seemed to see what she was thinking, knocked on the table, Qingping came back to his senses and said: "Yes."
After hearing her answer, Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh, Qingping ignored her inexplicability, and said, "Didn't your Highness tell me to pretend that I don't know you when we meet next time?"
Alluding to Chu Jun breaking the agreement by himself, but who is Chu Jun? Knowing that she is accusing him of breaking the contract, he finds it very interesting, so he still replied with a smile: "I just said, you have to pretend that you don't know me. Didn't say no."
"Why?" Qingping asked in a low voice, "The study tour four years ago was fake, what are you doing?"
Chu Jun withdrew his smile, stared at her and said, "What do you think?"
Qingping can roughly guess why she has been active in Wuzhou. As long as a person lives in the world, she will definitely leave footprints.The empress will definitely investigate this empress who is living among the people. When the hidden guards go to search, they will naturally follow everything that Chu Jun has arranged to find proof of this person's existence.
Because she herself is Chu Jun's substitute.When I was studying in Hezhou, now that I think about it carefully, I gradually understand this person's meticulous arrangements. In less than two years, she built a life named 'Yu Jun' out of thin air.
Qing Ping's heart trembled slightly, she looked at Chu Jun, and the other party was also looking at her. In the past, their identities were master and servant, separated by an insurmountable gap.Now they are still different from each other, separated by this young couple, it seems that they are separated by a dark and broken past.
Chu Jun slowly said: "You ask this, in what capacity are you asking?"
She was dressed in complicated royal clothes and sat in the car.Compared with her solemn and majestic aura, Qingping's ill-fitting official uniform made her look like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes. Chu Jun's eyes were full of smiles, looking at the beautiful and calm face of the young girl in front of him, Her facial features have faded away, but she still has a girlish innocence, which is in great contrast to her calm and self-possessed appearance.
Qingping looked up at her, feeling that she was far behind her in height, let alone imposing, she held the corner of her clothes silently and said: "...what does your Highness think of me as an identity?"
Chu Jun clasped his hands together, put them on his lips and smiled quietly, and said, "Guess."
Her words were obviously a joke, teasing herself.Qing Ping suddenly felt a little boring, when the two people's status and status were too different, no matter what they said or did, they were not so equal.
Qing Ping also didn't want to guess with her like this anymore, some questions didn't have to be clarified, she said indifferently: "Since His Highness is fine, I will leave now."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chu Jun's reaction, she got out of the car, and the cold scabbard pressed against her right shoulder again.The scene from four years ago was repeated again, Qingping slightly raised his eyes, lightly pressed his hand on the black scabbard, pushed it away an inch and said, "You want to murder the imperial court official?"
Tianxuan put away the sword, Qingping gave her a cold look, put away his collar, and quickly disappeared into the night.
In the carriage, Chu Jun was playing with Qing Fang's tea cup, stroked the raised lines on the cup with interest, and said, "Tianxuan, she's gone?"
Tianxuan said: "Yes, my lord."
Not long after, a blue-robed woman opened the curtain and came in, saying, "How about it, Your Highness? Would Qingping come back to you?"
Chu Jun said: "She is not related to me now, and she can't be pulled if she insists."
The woman in the blue robe was Liu Zhen. She had served Chu Jun for a longer period of time and knew a lot. She was silent for a moment and said, "Then what does His Highness plan to do with Qingping?"
There was actually a reason for her to say this, Chu Jun would never let such a big mistake there, or he would become one of his own, or he would send someone to deal with it.
Chu Jun leaned back on the soft pillow and said with a smile, "How to deal with it?"
Liu Zhen was dumb, Chu Jun said with deep meaning: "Look, I don't need to do anything, she has to come by herself."
It was already very late when Qingping returned to the residence, seeing that her expression was not good, the Lis and his wife didn't dare to ask more questions, they only said that they had left food for her on the table.Although Qingping was tired, he lost his appetite because of today's events, so he rolled into bed to sleep as soon as he came back.
It's just that the dream is not very peaceful, those deep eyes are everywhere, Qingping can't hide it no matter what, she thought that everything will be fine once the blanket is covered, but she didn't expect a hand to come in from under the blanket, forcing Hold your wrist firmly.
No matter how you shake it, you can't shake it off!
The owner of the hand held it calmly. During the struggle, the hand changed from holding to stroking, as if to soothe her emotions.But Qing Ping felt that it was like the signal of a wild beast before hunting, the hand was so strong that he insisted on dragging her, dragging her out of the quilt.
Leaving the dark fortress, Qingping was suddenly exposed to the light, she could barely open her eyes, but saw the man looking down at her, with his lips parted slightly, insincerely speaking.
She opened her eyes and woke up, sweating profusely, and her underwear was wet.Qingping's hands trembled a little, she blinked, and stretched out her hand to look at her arm, it turned out that the lace of a dress was hooked on her wrist.
From yesterday to today, these continuous dreams and premonitions are telling her one thing, her good days are probably coming to an end soon.
Obviously it was Xiu Mu, and she had to go to Dian Mao again. Qing Ping went to review the list of documents with a sullen face. Yan Jinghan came over, took a good look at her, and said, "Qing Ping, did you go drinking yesterday? Excessive indulgence?"
Qingping knew that her drinking definitely did not refer to ordinary drinking, so she checked row by row with the tip of her pen, and said, "I didn't drink, I'm going to drink tea." different, making this tea as effective as wine,
Yan Jinghan didn't believe it, how could he drink tea like this?The faint blue circle under Qingping's eyes seemed very sluggish. After thinking for a while, he still cared: "Are you all right? If you are sick, can you take a leave with the master?"
"Non-marriage, funeral, and marriage are not allowed to take leave." Qingping yawned. Seeing that the booklet had been turned to the bottom, she put it away and put it aside. The yellow roster shows the huge workload.
Yan Jinghan hesitated for a while, then said: "Qingping, I, I want to talk to you about something."
Qingping yawned again, obviously sleepy as hell, but still had to suffer here, Yan Jinghan whispered in her ear: "I want...to let it out."
The word “Outside” exploded in Qingping’s ears like thunder, and she was so shocked that her mind cleared up a lot. She looked at the people around her who were busy with their own affairs, pulled Yan Jinghan and said: “Do you want to let out?” ? Once the nobles of this dynasty are released, they don’t know when they will be able to return to the capital. Besides, if you are released, what will your father do?”
Yan Jinghan clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "My father will go back to his hometown, and I will write to my aunt to take care of him at that time. You know that the outsiders are usually in remote small counties, and the journey is far away. I am afraid that my father will take care of him. I am too old to suffer from this."
Qingping pretended to be reading the brochure, picked up a pen in his hand and circled in mid-air, and said, "Did you think about it a long time ago? Or was it just a whim?"
Yan Jinghan also took a copy and opened it casually. She said: "When we first joined the company, I went to inquire about it. In the end, those who did not perform well in the performance appraisal will not stay in Chang'an, but will be sent to other places. go."
Wasn't ten years of studying hard in the cold window just to change his identity, so that he can rise to the top and become a leader in the court?Shu Jishi has always been known as a prime minister, and if he is an official in the same dynasty, whether he can get a position depends on his ranking in the scientific examination. Qingping doesn't quite understand why Yan Jinghan gave up such an opportunity and expelled himself from the capital. Go to remote small counties and start from the bottom.
But Yan Jinghan said: "You also saw that Hengqiong and Qiongzhou were hit by heavy snow, and in some places even the roads were blocked by snow, and people outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out. In this way, the objects needed for this sacrifice are still sent from other states." Yan Jinghan stopped on a word, couldn't help using some strength, and almost broke the paper, "Could it be that this heavy snow only falls? In the north of Hengzhou? After this snowstorm, how many cattle, sheep and livestock were frozen to death, the people were displaced, and suffered countless losses, but what are the adults in the court doing?"
Speaking of this, she was obviously emotional, and said in a trembling voice: "Since I entered school, I have been taught by Mr., and what I think about every day when I am studying is that I can do something after I get a job... "
Qingping patted her on the shoulder, and suddenly understood her feelings. Scholars in this era really take their worries about the world and the people into their hearts, so he said to her: "If you really want to leave, then you have to wait Let’s talk about it after the performance appraisal is over, and if you are really released by then, let’s discuss it in the long term.”
Yan Jinghan didn't expect that she didn't persuade him, and she had a hint of support, so she was so moved that she held Qingping's hand and said, "Qingping, I can make a friend like you when I come to Chang'an to study, really. ..."
Before she could finish her words of gratitude, she saw her friend quickly shake off her hand and grasped her wrist. Yan Jinghan thought it was because she was too strong and hurt him, so Qingping loosened her wrist and showed her , indicating that he is fine.
At this time, the inspector came over, Yan Jinghan quickly slipped back to his seat, pretending to be doing something, and couldn't help but look back at Qingping's place, thinking about her words and deeds just now, she felt that she was really abnormal today up.
What happened yesterday?Yan Jinghan was full of curiosity.
Qingping breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, and shook his wrist imperceptibly, just now Yan Jinghan suddenly held her hand in desperation, and the skin-to-skin contact reminded her of Chu Jun.
It's not the slightly immature young lady Chen Jun of the Wangfu in the past. In just four years, too many things have changed. Maybe in places she can't see, the lives of countless people have been rewritten because of this. This is her beginning. Unexpected.
That is King Xin, the emperor's nobleman, unattainable.The addition of royal clothes is where the power lies.Even though she was sitting in a cramped carriage, she still did not change Ling Ran's noble demeanor.This gorgeously dressed, extremely graceful and luxurious woman, her pupils were like spots of paint, unfathomable, she looked at herself with a half-smile, and Qingping suddenly had a feeling of being coveted as a prey.
She held the pen holder and drew an ink mark on the paper, feeling a little irritated.
It's really uncomfortable.
A few days later, when the subordinates were almost busy, Qingping and Yan Jinghan went to visit Professor Shen Xiting's home together.
This Professor Shen was their mentor when they were studying in Chang'an Official School, and he took good care of them. Now because he is getting old, he has retired from the position of professor and is resting at home.
Her daughter, Shen Lin, is Qing Pingyan Jinghan's senior sister. She is now working in the Ministry of Officials and is the clerk next to the servant of the Ministry of Officials.
The two went to visit the teacher, but they were embarrassed to be empty-handed, so they went to buy some things, sealed some money, changed their clothes, and went to visit the teacher's house decently.
Professor Shen's home is in Nancheng, and the two hired a carriage to go there, but it didn't take much time.Arriving in front of Shen's house, Qingping went to knock on the door. The servant who guarded the door got the news early in the morning and opened the door to welcome them in. Shen Lin came out of the house, saw them both and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Li, Junior Sister Yan, please come in quickly, I Mother has already prepared food and drinks, and is waiting for the two of you to come!"
The two of them dared not speak, and followed Shen Lin into the room. It was snowing outside, but the room was very warm. A charcoal basin and a copper stove were burning. An old man with gray hair was sitting on the kang, full of energy, with bright eyes and a smile. He looked at the two of them.
Qingping and Yan Jinghan stepped forward to salute, Professor Shen said: "No, get up quickly, don't toss about those useless things!"
But the two still got up after finishing their salutes. Professor Shen looked at the students with a smile, and said, "I am inconvenient in my legs and feet, so I asked someone to move this table to the front of the kang. It's in a bad shape, and the students come to visit, and they are still lying on the bed!"
Everyone laughed and sat down around the table. Shen Lin stood up and poured wine. Yan Jinghan and Qingping hurriedly held her down. Qingping said, "How dare you bother Senior Sister? Let's do it ourselves."
Shen Lin insisted on falling, but the two had no choice but to let her fall.When toasting, he held her down to prevent her from getting up. Yan Jinghan said: "When I was in the government school, I was often taken care of by the teacher. The students were grateful, so they respected the teacher." .
Professor Shen looked at Qingping and said with a smile, "Qingping, why don't you drink?"
Qing Ping said: "Students get drunk easily when they drink, so they can't drink even a little bit of alcohol. They are afraid that drinking will cause trouble, so they can replace wine with tea, and respect the teacher and senior sister."
Shen Lin sideways avoided her ceremony, Professor Shen nodded and said: "Are you working under the Ministry of Rites now? I heard from Shen Lin that it is not easy. If you do your work well, you will be favored by the adults above, and you will get a grade in the performance appraisal." You, you can still stay in Beijing as an official."
Qingping and Yan Jinghan looked at each other, Yan Jinghan's eyes were filled with determination, Qingping sighed in his heart, knowing that she had made up his mind, in fact, she brought Yan Jinghan to Professor Shen's house, hoping to borrow this From the mouth of the teacher who taught the class, he persuaded his friends to let go of their plans.
Sure enough, Yan Jinghan thought for a while and said: "The teacher doesn't know, the students are already planning to be released."
Professor Shen was a little surprised. He glanced at Shen Lin and said, "The assessment of the Ministry of Officials has been announced? It's not yet the day of assessment, how come you already know the result of this matter?"
Shen Lin said: "Mother, the document for the transfer of officials from the Ministry of Officials hasn't come out yet."
Professor Shen said: "Yes. Shocked, what's going on with you?"
Yan Jinghan said sonorously: "Students don't want to stay in Beijing and wait for promotion. I want to do something real. Even if I go to a small remote county to be a county magistrate, it's better than suffering here. "
Professor Shen shook his head and said: "It's rare for a good man to be released in the first year, and you will never be allowed to be a county magistrate! At least you must be a county magistrate, and the prime minister will go to the county magistrate No matter how confused the imperial court is, they will not be able to do such a thing."
Yan Jinghan said: "Whether it's the county guard or the county magistrate, the students don't want to stay in this muddy pond anymore!"
The words were so loud that Shen Lin stopped holding the chopsticks for a moment, and said: "Junior Sister Yan, you should say some things in your heart, be careful that walls have ears."
Yan Jinghan sighed for a long time and said: "Teacher, when you gave us a lecture in the official school, didn't you just say that if you are an official, if you can't benefit the people, what are you doing? Look at me now I don’t know what to do every day, and I don’t know what I’m busy with when I’m busy.”
Qing Ping silently poured her a glass of wine, put some vegetables in her bowl, and said to Professor Shen: "You have taught Jing Han, so you know what she is like." , Master Shizhong is conservative and doesn't like people who jump out like Jinghan..." It implies that Yan Jinghan wanted to leave because he didn't get along with his boss, and he wanted Professor Shen to persuade her.
Who is Professor Shen? Before Qingping finished speaking, she already understood. She put down her chopsticks and said gently: "Jinghan, do you think it's not good to stay in the Ministry of Rites? I can help you accommodate and change places."
Of course, Yan Jinghan knew how much effort this so-called accommodating would take, but she never thought that the teacher would do this for herself, she said gratefully: "No need, teacher, I've made up my mind, I won't stay here again. "
Professor Shen looked at her and said, "It's really decided? It's hard to transfer the officials outside unless your term is over. Besides, even if your term is over, it's still unknown whether you can return to Chang'an. Instead of doing this, it's better to do it first." .”
Qingping wanted Professor Shen to help persuade Yan Jinghan. After all, Yan Jinghan might not listen to some things she said, but when Professor Shen said it, Yan Jinghan hesitated instantly.
That's right, after studying for so many years, I went from being a white man to a sage, getting out of ordinary people, and becoming a member of another class... The hardships in it are not humane, but It is not so easy to give up now.
But after Yan Jinghan hesitated, he strengthened his mind and said to Professor Shen: "Student has already made up his mind. I know you have good intentions, but I don't regret it."
She suddenly picked up the wine glass and touched Qing Ping's glass, saying: "Qing Ping, I accept your favor."
Of course Qingping understood what she meant. It seemed that she already knew that she wanted Professor Shen to persuade her. Qingping took a sip of tea and said, "I still say the same thing, I will support you no matter what you do."
In fact, she really understands Yan Jinghan's actions, not that she has such lofty sentiments, for the country and the people, "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later." She feels that this kind of integrity is not enough. far away.What she understood about Yan Jinghan was that in an officialdom full of decay and obsolete atmosphere, everyone knows that only by relying on the powerful can they have a chance to stand out.Important positions are all dominated by aristocratic families, and Jinshi from commoner backgrounds are still far behind. If you want to go up, you have to choose a faction.
Everyone in the world knows that the current sage has not yet established a crown prince, and the position of the crown daughter has not been settled for a long time.For a long time, the three princesses and the forces behind them launched a protracted struggle.
Among them, the third princess, Chu Xuan, came from a humble background. Her biological father was an internal servant of the Weiyi Bureau. His son is of extraordinary background, his aunt is a scholar of Yinghua Pavilion, and most of his family are famous scholars of Qingliu, a family of holy people.
It can be said that if you want to go up, you must choose a faction to join forces, otherwise you will be like the black sheep among the white sheep.
Thinking of this, Qingping herself felt quite a headache. Although she was not considered a big shot, after the assessment, she would definitely receive invitations to her door when she officially entered the job, and it would be a difficult decision at that time.
Why is it difficult?As a scholar, of course he should choose the faction headed by the second emperor, since there are many civil servants there, it is naturally a good choice.But is it really that easy to make a choice?The answer is no. If you only focus on this point, it is of course a good choice, but in the long run, it is full of contradictions.
The Empress does not like Qingliu admonishing officials. Since the Great Court Conference 25 years ago, the cabinet and courtiers have been arguing about whether to restore the old system.What old system should be restored?Natural succession, succession struggle.
It turned out that the empress was not a concubine when she became the heir, but the niece of the first emperor. Her mother was King Jing, who was the younger sister of the first emperor. She was sealed in Yunzhou and died of illness in her early years.
Because the first emperor died young and left no heirs, before he died, he ordered the cabinet scholars to draft a will, enshrining the king's daughter as a princess, welcoming her to Beijing, and enshrining the ancestral temple as the heir to the emperor.
So here comes the question, which mother and father should the newly enthroned emperor worship?
At that time, there were two factions. One group advocated that the empress should simply change her parents, worshiping her aunt as her biological mother and leaving her own mother aside. This is called restoring the old system; Aren't your parents violating the principles of human relations?In this dynasty, filial piety comes first, how can those who are disloyal and unfilial visit the ancestral hall?
The poor empress was tricked when she first arrived, and she fell into a contest between the two major powers in the court and China, where her parents were fighting.The new emperor, who just arrived, lost his sense of proportion, and was very embarrassed. It took three or four years before she came to her senses. I am the emperor. What are you ministers doing!And the command came to the emperor?
In the spring of the fourth year of Pingxi, the Holy Majesty sacrificed his biological mother and biological father with grand etiquette, and called himself "the nephew emperor" when offering sacrifices to the late emperor. Xiao Zong's heir succeeded to Da Zong, and the cart was turned upside down. If there was no last emperor's edict, would you still be the emperor?
Ever since, this vigorous court meeting began again, but the empress was no longer the one who would be swayed by the opinions of her courtiers. Let nearly half of the cabinet ministers reshuffle the cards, and drive out all the voices of opposition from the DPRK and China from the big stage of Chang'an. (1)
After she finally got rid of these discordant voices, her self-confidence and sense of satisfaction swelled to the extreme. The feeling of playing with power and people and manipulating the internal struggles of ministers is really cool. It can be said that this is the first time in her career as emperor. It was the first time I felt the benefits of being an emperor. Since then, this emperor who has changed his face like a sky-changing emperor has started her long road to power. 160 eight people were sent to prison for interrogation, officials of the fourth rank and above were suspended from their duties to await their crimes, and 23 people who were the most vocal were executed in court.
After the victory, the self-willed empress encountered the incident of the Queen's illness and the death of the queen, and the noble monarch Wei's family burned down the palace.In the palace, large-scale construction was carried out to build temples and pavilions to enshrine gods and immortals, and to invite practitioners from all over the world to practice alchemy and Taoism together in the palace.
If the emperor practiced Taoism every day and didn't ask about court affairs, wouldn't the country be in chaos?
But this clever empress set up the cabinet again, and organized a team of courtiers to deal with the memorial documents. Small matters were discussed by the cabinet ministers and then handed over to the emperor for approval; major matters were called by the emperor to discuss together and finally reach a conclusion.
This approach greatly reduced the empress's burden, allowing her to spend her time on cultivation with more peace of mind.But because of this, some treacherous people were cultivated, and the faction dominated by the chief assistant Yan Minghua controlled the government, and even influenced the promotion and transfer of officials.At the same time, she is also a loyal supporter of the eldest princess Chu Ming.
Of course, Qingping can understand Yan Jinghan's approach. In this complicated and treacherous environment, you will either be submerged in this piece of muddy pond, or you will be swallowed by that piece of mud. Opportunities in your own sky are not controlled by others.
Doesn't Professor Shen understand this truth?Of course she understood, she just toasted Yan Jinghan with tea instead of wine, and said: "Since you have made a decision, don't regret it. When the time comes, let your senior sister help you take a look and find a better place. After the post-examination, you will return Can come back again."
Yan Jinghan's eyes were slightly red, and she responded emphatically, and Shen Lin also said: "There are still some days before the performance appraisal, if Junior Sister Yan still has this idea, then I will help you to look again, how about this?"
Qingping patted her on the shoulder, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit heavy, Professor Shen said: "Eat and drink, it's rare that you have time to visit me, don't be restrained, drink as you want, this is not in the official school anymore. She said narrowly to Yan Jinghan: "You don't have to hide the wine under the quilt, spill it and say you wet the bed!"
After speaking, everyone laughed, and Professor Shen said with a smile: "Who would piss a bed smelling of wine, but you are so weird, and I will never forget the face of Mr. Tixue!"
Yan Jinghan blushed more than half when he heard his elders mentioning his scandal, and couldn't help but argue: "Teacher, it's just that one time...how do you still remember it!"
Shen Lin told some jokes made by her classmates when she was studying, and Qingping also hurt herself a little, which caused Yan Jinghan to tsk her tongue: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person..."
She glanced at her plainly, and said in her heart that it wasn't for you?
After drinking for three rounds, Yan Jinghan put his arms around her shoulders and howled ghostly, not knowing what he was talking about.After the end, Shen Lin was also a little drunk, so she forced herself to call a carriage for them, watched them go far, and then went back to the room and sat by the kang.
Professor Shen glanced at his daughter with rosy cheeks, and said, "What do you see?"
Shen Lin said: "Why did mother choose Li Qingping instead of Yan Jinghan? My child sees that Yan Jinghan is a good character, bold, and not eager for quick success. He seems to be a person who can do things for the people. But Li Qingping, I It's really hard to see through..."
Professor Shen said lightly: "It's right that you can't see through."
Shen Lin asked strangely: "For someone who can't see through, mother can rest assured that she will succeed the post of 'Hanshu'?"
Professor Shen asked back: "If you can't see through, does it mean that others can't see through?"
Shen Lin hiccupped and called her servants to come in and clear the table, and brought hot water for her mother to wipe her face.Then she went to wash her face again, and she came in after the alcohol dissipated a bit, sat next to her mother again, continued the topic just now, and said, "Tell me, what do you think is good about her?"
Professor Shen smiled, and she looked at her daughter and explained: "My mother has worked in government schools for many years, and I have been transferred from Yunzhou government schools to Chang'an for ten years. I have seen students like crucian carp in a river, but this student is the only one. , but very interesting."
Shen Lin frowned slightly, and said, "How do you say?"
Professor Shen said: "You and Yan Jinghan are not much different in age. Of course, you think that her actions are in line with your wishes. Young people, who doesn't like to be happy and do whatever you want?"
Shen Lin was a little embarrassed, she knew what her mother meant, alluding that she deliberately belittled Li Qingping because she favored Yan Jinghan as a person, but she still refused to accept it, and wanted to argue clearly with her mother: "I think Li Qingping is timid, Just wanting to protect yourself, swallowing your anger is top-notch, how can you let your mother think so highly of you?"
Professor Shen glared at her daughter and said, "Where did you learn the accent, and what do I often teach you? Be self-aware, don't be patient and rush (2), don't pretend to be good outside, or you will reveal your secrets when you come back!"
Shen Lin was scolded by her mother, and immediately knelt down on the ground, not daring to retaliate, but she was slandering in her heart.
Professor Shen looked at the falling snow outside the window, and murmured: "Fortunately, the position of Bahuang Hanshu cannot be passed down from family to family, otherwise something will happen to you sooner or later."
Shen Lin took advantage of the alcohol and said unconvinced: "Could it be that Li Qingping will go to heaven?"
This is thanks to Professor Shen's own daughter. She let it go and endured not using family law to deal with her. After a long time, she said: "Forbearance for a while may not be forbearance for a lifetime. Concession is for further progress, and silence is for blockbuster success. There is no one to rely on." Don't stand out when you are in trouble, if you can't protect yourself, what will happen in the future?"
After finishing speaking, he made up his mind and said: "Go get the pen and ink, I want to write a letter to the head of the family, and tell her that the candidate for the post of Hanshu has been decided."
Shen Lin knew that once her mother made a decision, she would never go back on her word, so she reluctantly went to get the pen, ink, and letter paper. After seeing her mother write the letter, she sealed it with wax paint, put it in her arms, and took it out.
Qingping helped Yan Jinghan go home, and Yan Jinghan sang along the way, but fortunately, he was in the carriage, so he didn't throw him away in front of the people of Quanchang'an.
Yan Jinghan said drunkenly: "Qingping, you are... my good friend, hiccup! Best friend! If I go there, if I can't come back to that poor place... .You want, I beg you..."
Qing Ping supported her, pressed her head, and let this person who was crazy with alcohol see the seriousness in her eyes, she said: "I know, your father will be my father in the future, and I will definitely serve him until old."
Yan Jinghan nodded in confusion, and fell down along the wall of the car, Qingping sighed, feeling quite a headache.Where she couldn't see, Yan Jinghan's reddish eyes overflowed with a little tear, dripping down the cheek on the car seat wrapped in green cloth, and blurred in the dark cloth, since it disappeared.
In the palace on the outskirts of Beijing, the palace people who came and went walked slowly, holding their breath, and took a light step when walking, because the residence in this palace was His Royal Highness Xinwang who was in mourning for his father.The Empress ordered that no one should disturb Xin Wang Fu Xiao, so in this usually deserted palace, only the plum tree blooms alone in the ice and snow, and the cold wind blows the snowflakes, making it even more lonely and quiet.
The people in the palace are all plain clothes and simple clothes, and there should be no bright colors.King Xin was indifferent by nature, and lived in the deepest palace of the palace, where he could not stay for a long time.Every day, the maid who is close to her is sent in for food and water, and she kneels down to repent at other times.
What did she confess?It is said that giving birth to a son is the most painful thing in the world. When a child comes to this world, he has already shouldered the sin of making his father suffer. Therefore, His Royal Highness Xin Wang needs to repent and pray every day, and pray to the gods to forgive him. guilt.
The Empress is still quite concerned about this child, and there are all the objects and furnishings that should be in the palace, which is not much different from the palace.But what made her most gratified was that this child seemed to be as gifted in cultivation as she was, and he had wonderful interpretations of some scriptures.She has fought alone against the imperial court for so many years, and she is very caring when she meets a respondent for the first time.You know, when the empress met the fourth princess Chu Jun on Chongzhen Mountain, she was practicing in a temple on the mountain. It is confirmed that this child is the opportunity that the immortal said in her dream.
Since it is an opportunity, we must pay special attention to it.After Chu Jun finished reading, he got up from the futon to wash his hands. Liu Zhen took a hot handkerchief to wipe her hands, and took out a letter from his sleeve, saying, "Your Highness, this is an urgent letter from Han Shu. Sealed three seals, I hope you can reply as soon as possible."
Chu Jun cut open the envelope with a silver knife and took out the paper inside. When he unfolded it, it turned out that it was an urgent letter from the letter hub of the Eight Wilderness Center. The letter hub is an important position in the Eight Wilderness Center. Retainer.
Hanshu is not a family tradition, but the current Hanshu recommends suitable candidates for the head of the family to choose.The current Hanshu, Shen Linxi, was once promoted to Yunzhou official school, and was later transferred to Chang'an official school professor, responsible for lecturing.However, due to her advanced age and serious leg injuries, she had to stay in bed to recuperate, so it was urgent to recommend candidates for Hanshu.
It stands to reason that such an important position should be treated more carefully and carefully selected. Chu Jun just glanced at the letter, and when he saw a person's name, his eyebrows were raised, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes. Did not go to see.
She said to Liu Zhen: "Take the pen, write back to her, and tell her that this is the person."
Liu Zhen nodded, Chu Jun swept the letter together with the paper into the censer, the fire in the censer brightened up, then went dark again, Liu Zhen sealed the letter after writing it, and hid it in his sleeve to be brought out later.
Chu Jun stood in front of the window and looked at the large plum forest in the distance. Liu Zhen glanced at her back, and suddenly felt that His Highness seemed a little different today.
It seems to be, a little happy?
The author has something to say: (1) Those who have read the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties should understand that the empress persona comes from Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty
(2) Avoid patience and use haste. Shizu's comment to Yongzheng actually means "use patience and avoid haste". To use patience to get rid of impatience is to guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
