The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

What Shi Anxia didn't say was that Gu Boyan didn't rest in prison either. He didn't ask for anything else but pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Naturally, no one paid any attention to him at first, but ever since Gu Boyan helped the prison boss and the wardens write a written summary, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were continuously delivered to the cell.

Later, the broken-legged desk and chair that were discarded in the prison were given to Gu Boyan. From then on, Gu Boyan began his career of writing furiously in the prison cell.

Many years later, Gu Boyan came out of prison and became homeless.

Zhao Liren took this talented man in and made him his clerk. When the country was in crisis, he ran around to collect rice and food, and Gu Boyan always followed him.

Once, Queen Mother Huizheng summoned Zhao Liren.

Zhao Liren then told the story of this clerk, expressing his deep regret that such a great runner-up in the imperial examination had just passed away.

Zhao Liren appealed to Queen Dowager Huizheng, saying, "This man is well-read and talented, and is familiar with the classics and history of various countries. He is truly a rare talent. I hope the Queen Dowager will see clearly."

Later, Empress Dowager Huizheng arranged for Gu Boyan to work as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. This was the only person in the history of the Northern Wing who was able to enter the government after being released from prison.

He took this path in a very circuitous way.

He had plenty of youth to devote to this country, but was dragged down by his greedy and unscrupulous family.

He, an enviable runner-up, spent most of his life to finally get on the right track.

In just three years, he edited dozens of books with unique viewpoints, becoming an important figure in the history of the Northern Wing literary world. The most famous of them is the "Yi History Dictionary".

This work became a compulsory work for the imperial examinations in Beiyi over the years.

Gu Boyan compiled all the articles he wrote in prison into a book called "Gu Shi", which included his poems, comments, lectures on classics and history, as well as his experience of growing up while being drained of blood by his family.

He also contributed a new style of writing, which was later called "Gu Ci" and was imitated by thousands of students.

Gu Boyan's health had been greatly damaged while in prison, and then the country was in crisis, leaving him with no time to recuperate.

He worked hard and was exhausted after only three years as an editor.

When he died, he burst into tears, full of regret, "If only I hadn't wasted those years! If there is an afterlife, I will definitely not let myself waste my time in the lives of my loved ones..."

What about relatives? He didn't finish his words. He died.

Empress Dowager Huizheng personally ordered the head of the Ministry of Rites to perform rituals and offer sacrifices, and posthumously conferred the title of "Duke of Shi" on him to commend his contributions to the country.

"Records of Mountains and Rivers of Beiyi" records this Shi Guogong as follows.

His life is a life that makes people sigh; his life is also an inspirational life.

All his youth and passion were locked in this small prison.

However, what could not be locked up was his innocent heart. He picked up his pen to compose a poem, splashing ink and writing it. Once "Gu Ci" came out, it amazed the world in just a few strokes.

He is a beacon in the hearts of thousands of students.

……

Shi Anxia collected his thoughts and asked seriously, "Mr. Gu, are you also going to follow the path of this idiot?"

Gu Boyan turned pale with fear, "No, no, no, that's too scary."

When I thought about him, with his skinny arms and legs, going to jail, I felt like a disaster had fallen from the sky.

His hands were shaking as he held the teacup. "Fortunately, the story is just a story."

But the next day, when the top three candidates in the imperial examination were awarded official positions, Emperor Mingde personally appointed Gu Boyan as a lecturer, which frightened Gu Boyan to death.

The lecturer! The lecturer beside Emperor Mingde!

He really is that Gu Ersha!

Gu Boyan immediately burst into tears, knelt on the ground and shouted that he was too incompetent and unworthy of such an important task.

He must go to the local area to gain some experience to be worthy of the emperor's appreciation.

When Emperor Mingde received the news and listened to the official's vivid description of Gu Tanhua's reaction, he immediately decided... to summon his Princess Haiyan into the palace.

With his keen sense of smell, he had already smelled that there was something new hidden in Yunqi Academy.

No wonder the little girl could easily pick up the second and third place winners! Presumably, these second and third place winners must have had a story in her dream.

Moreover, he is a loyal minister.

Shi Anxia once again followed Eunuch Qi who came to pick someone up into the palace.

She thought that the last time she entered the palace, she caused the death of Concubine Li and her mother. This time, she hoped that everything would be safe and sound.

Shi Anxia was not stingy and simply told the story of the top three candidates in the imperial examination.

Emperor Mingde was overwhelmed by what he heard. "No wonder Gu Boyan reacted so strongly. It turned out that he got your reminder."

Immediately, he adjusted the official positions and locations of the three people.

Xiao Changle himself wrote a petition to request to be transferred to a local official position. Emperor Mingde thought that it was a good idea for a student who grew up in Beijing to go to the local area to take a look.

Just like he did back then, running out of the palace whenever he had time.

He sent Xiao Changle to serve as the prefect of Jizhou to understand the people's sentiments.

Lu Sangyu entered the Ministry of Justice. He studied the law and was determined to improve it. This was what Emperor Mingde valued most.

And Gu Boyan...went to Mozhou to serve as the prefect.

Mozhou! It is a place that makes people tremble with fear. Not only is it poor, but there are also a lot of extremely vicious criminals who have been exiled.

I hope that when Mr. Gu returns, he will have dealt with his relationship with his family well and will not drag him into the mud again.

Shi Anxia covered her mouth and laughed, "Our emperor is indeed wise! This way, Lord Gu's family of blood-sucking worms will not follow him. Even if they go, they will have to run away within two days."

Emperor Mingde was delighted, and felt as if he was treating the little girl as a divine book. If he wanted to ask anything, he would call her to ask; if there was anything difficult to solve, he would also call her to give advice.

He looked lovingly at the little girl who looked like Tang Chujun, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Shi Anxia asked, "Is your Majesty really going to reward me again?"

Emperor Mingde smiled and said, "As long as you don't ask me for a few more death-free gold medals to eat, nothing else matters."

Shi Anxia actually wanted something, "Father, there is a hot spring in Yanxing Mountain. I want to open an excavation and run a hot spring farm."

Emperor Mingde was surprised. "You little girl, are you short of money? And you still want to go on a business trip?"

Shi Anxia said, "The Marquis's Mansion is poor and has high expenses. I have to find a way to get more money in my hands."

Emperor Mingde said, "Exchange the story of the hot spring for the right to dig the hot spring."

"But my father, you haven't given me the money for the story of the top three candidates in the imperial examination." Shi Anxia looked serious, as if Emperor Mingde owed her money.

Emperor Mingde laughed loudly, pointed at her and said, "How dare you covet my money?"

Shi Anxia said leisurely, "What I care about most is not your money, but your health. Only if you live long and long, can I live a good life in peace and stability."

Tired! I was so tired in my last life! I don’t want to be so tired again! Just live well.

Emperor Mingde felt touched and agreed to the right to dig the hot springs in Yanxing Mountain.

Shi Anxia said, "I will pay 40% of the money I earn from running the hot spring farm to the national treasury. If someone is jealous and wants to rob my farm, no matter who it is, father, you have to support me, okay?"
