Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

The name Xie Xuan was naturally not as familiar to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty as Tao Xianzhi. Only some people vaguely felt that they had heard it before, but they didn't quite remember it. However, the adults who knew Su Wanling knew that this was Mr. Su's beloved disciple. up.Mr. Su is standing on the court today with three points of joy. He is clear about Xie Xuan's talent. Even though he gave up Chunwei three years ago for some reason, he still stands on the main hall today, and he is confident that even if The courtiers all believed that Tao Xianzhi was the number one scholar this year, but Su Wanling always felt that the hat would eventually fall on his own student's head.

Xie Xuan's attire today was carefully designed by Li Zhiyuan. Although there is no official uniform on his body, he looks very refreshing and extraordinary. Unlike Tao Xianzhi's refined temperament, Xie Xuan, a scholar, came out with It is really rare to have two points of heroic spirit.Xie Xuan took a step to the right, bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "It is said in the "Fa Jing" that you can get a straight mind, and legislation is called virtue, and you can get your heart. The so-called getting the heart, who has the heart, the king can get the heart like a subject. People. Virtue is nothing more than heaven and earth, ancestors, and oneself. In the way of punishment and reward, rewards should be performed in accordance with virtue, and execution of punishment should also emphasize virtue. Virtue, as a human being in the world, selfish desires are the root of human beings, this is very obvious among courtiers, so the rule of law should be from top to bottom, so as to win the hearts of the people."

After Xie Xuan finished speaking, there was no trace of hesitation, and his calmness surprised a group of veterans.Throughout the ages, it is a theorem that officials and officials protect each other. Who has no selfishness?What everyone knows well, it is not a wise move to let the officials be ruled by the court.But just like this, Jing Wenhao has a high opinion of Xie Xuan. Now he has just taken over Daqi. After the development of his ancestors, Daqi's governance has gradually improved, but it is still difficult to reach a higher level.The rule of a dynasty is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. If you are only satisfied with the present, Da Qi may not be able to survive for many years.If we want to rule, we must change, but how to change and who will change has become a problem. Not to mention, what Xie Xuan said today is indeed a good breakthrough. It can clear up the court, fight corruption and uphold integrity and restore the peace of the officialdom. , Second, it can justifiably eradicate dissidents and return power to the royal family.

Jing Wenhao was overjoyed, and said: "Raise your head and answer me, how should we deal with rituals and punishments?"

Xie Xuan raised his head and looked at Jing Wenhao. There was no trace of cowardice in his eyes, and he said calmly: "The "Biography" says: Punish doubts, so be cautious about punishment. When Yao was in power, Gao Tao was a scholar. Killing people, Gao Tao Said: "kill" three, Yao said "forgive" three. Therefore, the world is afraid of Gao Tao's firm law enforcement. Since Confucius, the kings of the world have respected Confucianism, followed the policy of restraining oneself and returning to ritual, saying that rituals are first and punishments are important. Rituals are light on punishment, courtesy is not inferior to ordinary people, and punishment is not comparable to high officials, students think it is a big mistake."

As soon as Xie Xuan's words came out, the whole court was in an uproar, but he just pretended not to notice it, and continued: "A minister should serve the people first. In the old days, a doctor was called a doctor. He could assist the court when he entered the temple, and he could fight the enemy bravely when he went out of the battlefield. "Nowadays, those who are called great officials, who observe words and demeanor, are wise and protect themselves, deceive superiors and conceal inferiors, and take inaction as great deeds, it is absurd that such a great official is reviled by the people, and that they should not be punished."

"Okay, okay, okay!" After Xie Xuan finished speaking, Jing Wenhao even claimed that he was okay. Since the day he was reborn, he had seen through the pedantic atmosphere in the court. What is missing is Xie Xuan, a strong minister who is upright, fearless of power, and of everyone in the clan.

Jing Wenhao smiled and took the cinnabar pen from An Fuquan, and wrote the word "No. [-] Scholar" on Xie Xuan's test paper. So far, Xie Xuan has lived for eight years and finally achieved his wish.After the palace examination, Zhongshu Province released the imperial list. The article said: Xie Xuancai crowned Jinghua and was the number one scholar;All the ministers in the court looked at each other in dismay, their eyes were unbelievable. Tao Xianzhi, who everyone was betting on, only won the second place, and this little-known young man who said he wanted to rule the government became the first prize. I like it very much, these people naturally did not dare to neglect, and stepped forward to congratulate.For a while, Xie Xuan became a favorite, surrounded by a group of old officials, and he didn't even have time to change the number one scholar's uniform.

Under the leadership of the palace servants, Xie Xuan squeezed out to change clothes after overcoming all difficulties.

"It's been a while since I've seen you. Brother Xie's literary talent has soared, and his strategy is far superior to others. I can only hold him back. I lost to Brother Xie, and I am convinced." The three of them walked to the side hall where they changed clothes, and Tao Xianzhi took the initiative to meet with them Xie Xuan said hello.

"The essays are not half as good as Brother Tao's. Brother Tao's talent is far above mine. I am ashamed to say that today I am slightly better. It is all due to opportunism and slanting the sword. It is just a chance. A scholar's shameless behavior." Xie Xuan. Self-effacing.

"This statement is wrong. To have the world under heaven is the mind that a scholar should have. I am ashamed of myself."

Xie Xuan was about to reply, but Wang Bowen couldn't listen anymore, and said: "You two are very good, both of you have both ability and political integrity, and you are a model of gentlemen in the world. Can we change our clothes first and go parading? I have to hurry to propose marriage to my sweetheart, it would be bad if I miss the auspicious time."

The three of them smiled at each other and quickened their pace.

There were many red tapes in the palace, and there was an endless stream of congratulatory people, the three of them were delayed in the palace for some time, before leaving the palace, the people who announced the good news arrived first.

Li Zhiyuan was in the courtyard, when he heard the person who announced the good news came, he ran out, grabbed the person's hand and asked, "How? How?"

"Congratulations, my lord, Xie Xuanxie, my lord's high school champion." The person who announced the good news beamed with joy.

Li Zhiyuan's heart dropped when he heard the news, he was so unhappy, he took out his purse and gave all the money to the person who came, as if he felt that it was not enough, he tore off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, and gave it to the person together. people.Turning around, people hung up all the prepared cannons, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers.After finishing all this, Li Zhiyuan guessed that it was almost time to parade, so he hurriedly took a carriage to Zhuangyuan Building.

Today's Zhuangyuan building is almost contracted by various ladies, and the top three are parading the streets, but the ladies rarely have a good time to choose a husband and son-in-law, so naturally they have to come here to grab a good seat, and see for themselves.Fortunately, Li Zhiyuan was well prepared, and asked someone to book a seat early with a name card, so that he could have a foothold by the window on the side of the street.

"I heard that this year's top five are very young, even the number one scholar is only 20 years old, and he is very handsome, I don't know if it is true." Li Zhiyuan stood up, and he heard several young ladies chatting together.

"Of course it's true, and the wealth is extraordinary. Don't you think the name Xie Xuan is familiar to you?"

"Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan." A lady murmured, "Could it be the one who was No. 2 in the "Kyoto Hundred Princes List" a few years ago? I have seen his portrait, and he really looks comparable to Pan An Songyu."

"Yes, yes, I still have a Mingdefang. Think about how good the business in Mingdefang is. If you can marry there, the cost of all kinds of food and clothing will not be bad."

"Now I have won the number one prize, and my wealth is even better than before. Fortunately, I haven't been engaged yet. If I marry, I will be the real wife. I don't know how good it is."

"Yes, yes." Everyone echoed.

Li Zhiyuan was blowing his beard and staring at the sidelines, but he never thought that his brother would get married after being admitted to the first prize. After all, Xie Xuan was with him all day long, and he had never heard Xie Xuan mention anyone he liked. He had never heard of any plans to get married, but seeing so many women coveting his brother today, he didn't know what it was like.

Before he could think too much, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers sounded from far to near.In the lead were eight soldiers holding street patrol plaques, followed by a big horse, and sitting immediately was Xie Xuan, the champion of the new division. He was dressed in red, wearing an official hat, with his head held high and his body dignified. The appearance is majestic, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, as sharp as cutting, as sharp as grinding.

"Really so handsome, such a suave champion." A sharp-eyed lady saw Xie Xuan, lowered her head, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and smiled shyly.

"Where is it, where is it?" When everyone heard this, they crowded over one after another, and Li Zhiyuan managed to settle down, when he saw the group of people approaching.

Li Zhiyuan saw a group of people passing by, but Xie Xuan didn't look at him, and immediately shouted: "Brother, brother."

But Xie Xuan still didn't respond due to the crowd. Seeing that Xie Xuan was about to pass the Zhuangyuan Building, Li Zhiyuan shouted anxiously: "Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan, look at me!"

Xie Xuan was in the crowd, and when he heard the familiar shouts, he finally realized that when he went out this morning, the kid said he wanted to see himself in the Zhuangyuan Building, so he immediately turned his head and caught Li Zhiyuan's direction accurately, heading towards the second floor of the splendid building. smile.

Xie Xuan's smile successfully frightened Li Zhiyuan, he just felt like he was being hit by an electric shock, it was the first time Li Zhiyuan saw such a bright and beautiful smile without any distracting thoughts.

"Oh my god, Zhuangyuan Lang turned around and smiled."

"Red lips and white teeth, a little younger, so handsome."

"Must be smiling at me."

......

Xie Xuan walked by, Li Zhiyuan was immersed in Xie Xuan's smile, couldn't extricate himself for a long time, he couldn't listen to what someone said next to him, dawdled for a long time, and finally returned to Li's residence in the evening.As a result, as soon as he went back, he saw people moving things out one after another. Li Zhiyuan caught one person, and after asking, he found out that Xie Xuan was going to move out tonight!
