Records of the King of Xin'an County

Almost all the governing offices of the Tang court were located in the imperial city or even in the Taiji Palace, and Guozijian was no exception.Because it is too close, there is no need to find a whole day of free time.Within two days, Li Hui sent someone to make an appointment with Wang Zixian, looking forward to the trip with some interest.

On the appointed day, King Xin'an accompanied his grandfather to shoot arrows and tease the eagle, and then told the truth without any concealment.The sage chuckled, and was quite impressed with Prince Xian: "But in just half a year, he was promoted from Guozixue to Guozijian. He really is a young man with both civil and military skills. But what's so good about Guozijian? It's worthy of your attention." Make a special trip?"

"Even if there is nothing to see, grandson can open his eyes." Li Hui said with a smile, "Once you get a taste of the style of the gentlemen in it, you may turn your head and write poems and prose that satisfy grandfather and grandpa." ?” He is really not proficient in poetry and prose, and Li Tai has taught him many times when he has nothing to do, but in the end he can only comment that there is no inspiration, and he can only pile up rhetoric.Occasionally, a good word or sentence is recited in a flash of inspiration, but it is also meaningless if it is anticlimactic.

"So what if you're not good at composing poems and prose? Your writing and painting are extremely agile and charming. Your grandpa is at your age, and your handwriting is not as calm and stable as yours, with a strong character." The sage could not help but comfort love. Sun said a few words and said, "Go, go, since we have made an appointment, naturally we can't break the promise. Let the palace servants take you there, so that you don't lose your place." Really hard to find.

Then, Li Hui bid farewell to his grandfather, walked out from Changle Gate of Taiji Palace, and walked along Anshangmen Street.Guozijian is located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, but it is just a small courtyard with three entrances, which looks cramped than Guozixue.Wang Zixian was waiting in front of the door, when he saw him coming from a distance, he went up to meet him.

Guarding the courtyard gate is one of the sixteen guards. They are responsible for guarding every gate of the imperial city and the palace city, and they are very strict in checking in and out.Seeing the prince offering to welcome the strange young man, the two guards wanted to step forward to stop them, but they found that there was a Dian Zhongcheng behind them-this fifth-rank imperial servant served the saint personally, and his status was second only to that of the Dian Zhong. The supervisor and the two young supervisors in the palace were quite respectful to the young man, and they couldn't help guessing that he should be a grandson of the emperor.

The two were not sure whether to stop or not, so Li Hui showed them the goldfish bag hanging around his waist.After verifying their identities, they were the Prince of Xin'an County, and the two let them go silently.But after taking three or two steps, they heard the little county king say: "Loyal to duty, not afraid of power, these two guards are really good. After I go back, I will definitely tell my grandfather to reward them well." So, the two of them felt in their hearts. I feel more and more appropriate, and even my chest stands out even higher.

Wang Zixian curled his lips, and from the corner of his eyes, he found that the Cheng Zhongcheng who was following them was also smiling, and he also realized that the current favor of the Xin'an County King is indeed extraordinary: "Your Majesty, why don't you look at the princes in the Imperial College again?" How conscientious and conscientious is the public, how about asking for rewards for them?"

"That should be it." Li Hui replied, looking around, he found that although Sanjin's courtyard was small, it seemed a little empty due to the lack of people.It seems that it is a bit cleaner than Guozixue.There are bamboo groves and three or two plum trees planted in the corner of the courtyard, and there are flower pots beside it with orchids and chrysanthemums, which is quite quiet.In terms of scenery, perhaps the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum can be regarded as a scene of Guozijian.

There is a Confucian temple in the first courtyard, which is dedicated to Confucius, the first sage, and his disciple Yan Hui deserves to enjoy it.During the spring equinox and autumn equinox seasons, libation sacrifices are held here.On both sides are the places where students study and start their careers, and several small study rooms are separated for each person's use.There is also a small discussion hall for everyone to discuss the scriptures and meanings.

Perhaps because most of the students were concentrating on their studies in the study, there were very few young faces walking outside.After Li Hui followed Wang Zixian into his small study, he saw that it was full of scrolls, and the fragrance of ink seemed to rush towards his face.But the book case looked extremely clean, except for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there was only a volume of freshly written policies and theories, and the ink hadn't dried completely.

"This strategy is intended to be handed over to that Zuo Siye?" Li Hui just glanced at it without looking at it carefully, "Everyone can ask Siye for advice? If so, wouldn't the two Siye Very busy?" Zuo Siye is the Siye to whom Dr. Guozixue deliberately recommended the post.After the prince was dedicated to the Imperial College, he specially tested him, recognized his talent and learning, and usually took good care of him.

"Although the sixth school recommends outstanding students to enter the Imperial College every year, there are not many students who stay in the prison." The prince replied, "Most of them only need to accept the exams of sacrificial wine and departmental affairs, and then they can directly enter the Imperial College. There is no need to take the provincial examination to confer an official. Only a very small number of people will give up this opportunity and continue to prepare for the provincial examination. Therefore, there are less than 20 students who are often in prison. The progress of these 20 students is also different, and they will not always When writing a policy theory, the two divisions can certainly point it out."

"Will the sacrificial wine also read your policy?"

"Jijiu is busy with official duties, so how dare he bother you at will? He has benefited a lot from explaining the scriptures to us once in a while." Wang Zixian replied, and he couldn't help sighing slightly in his heart: It's a pity that although Jijiu and the two priests The industry is full of talents, but it seems that there is still something short of being a teacher.It's not that he doesn't respect them, and it's not that he doesn't admire them, it's just that he always lacks a little bit of insight.Of course, even if he wanted to be a teacher, these three might not accept him.The important matter of accepting apprentices and apprentices is indeed arranged in the dark.

The two were chatting and laughing casually, when footsteps suddenly came from outside the study, someone stopped in front of the door and asked, "Is Wang Langjun here?"

"Yes." Wang Zixian pushed open the door with a smile, and took a closer look, but he was a tall, thin young man with a pale complexion, who seemed to be in his early twenties: "So it's Brother Zheng, how dare I ask Brother Zheng for advice?" ?”

This Mr. Zheng Lang is also from the Imperial Academy, he has been in the Imperial Academy for two or three years, so he should be a senior senior.It is said that he was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang. Since he was a child, he has been studying hard to study and visit famous teachers. He has been preparing carefully for many years.Originally, he was eager to take part in the provincial examination at the beginning of the year, and won the Jinshi title in one fell swoop, and became famous all over the world-but that Yang Langjun suddenly came out, and suddenly became famous in Chang'an, becoming the most popular candidate for the title.He thought he was no match, so he simply didn't take the exam.Sure enough, he taught Yang Langjun to become the number one leader.

There are also rumors that, because of this, the relationship between Zheng Langjun and Yang Zhuantou seems a little cold.No matter how enthusiastically Yang Zhuantou invites him, he almost never goes to the literary, poetry or even hunting meetings he hosts.This move made many people who admire Yang Zhuangtou criticize, but he still remains the same.

Wang Zixian had just arrived at the Imperial College, so he was not very familiar with this Zheng Langjun.But two days ago, someone talked to him about how broad-minded Yang Zhuantou was, how humble and hospitable he was, and he used Zheng Langjun's story as evidence, and he euphemistically stated that "everyone has his own ambitions", so Yang Zhuangtou was dismissed. A group of admirers of the head regard it as ignorant of good and evil.Presumably this matter has been heard by Zheng Langjun, so he thought they were fellow travelers.

Sure enough, Mr. Zheng crossed his hands and said indifferently: "Two days ago Mr. Lao Wang defended me. You are indeed different from others, and you can also see the hypocrisy of Yang Qian and Yang Mingdu. Now he is in the limelight and has so many fans that he can't even avoid it."

"When you make friends with others, you should look at fate, not reputation. Wang is just telling the truth." Wang Zixian said with a smile.He has always respected Hongnong Yang's family at a distance, not because of Yang Qian, Yang Zhuangtou, but because he has no friendship with his mother clan.Moreover, since their offshoots dared to provoke Wang Chang and Xiao Yang to do stupid things, the direct ones would naturally have even bigger plans.However, when he saw Yang Zhuangtou from a distance in Xingyuan, he really didn't like it—probably because the behavior of this Yang Zhuangtou was too similar to his usual image. , a complete hypocrite.

"That's true. But not everyone understands this truth clearly." When Zheng Langjun caught a glimpse of Li Hui and Dian Zhongcheng in the study, his eyes stopped for a while, but he nodded slightly in greeting, and then continued, "Pass A few days ago, his teacher's school was going to hold a literary conference, and he sent me a few posts. Would Wang Langjun want to go and have a look? Although I am quite interested in his teacher's school, but because of him, I am It's not convenient to go, so as not to cause any gossip."

"..." Wang Zixian thought for a while, "I'm not interested in his teacher's school, but the two younger brothers in the family are suffering from nowhere to find a teacher. It should be good to see and see. Thank you Brother Zheng for helping me."

"It doesn't have to be like this. It's rare for me to have someone who can talk in the Imperial College, so I should make friends with him. In the future, I will hold any literature and poetry meetings, and you can bring your friends or younger brothers over at any time." Zheng Langjun said, So he left a few unique bamboo card posts, said goodbye and left.

The prince sent him a few steps and thanked him again. When he returned to his study, Li Hui had already picked up the bamboo plaques and looked at them carefully: "This kind of post is interesting, and it is very different. It turns out that That Mr. Yang Zhuantou's surname is Zhou——Zixian, you really want Wang Ziling and Zimu to worship under this Mr. Zhou? Doesn't that mean he and Yang Zhuantou became brothers?"

"If it weren't for such a famous teacher inside and outside Chang'an, how could we stop the endless demands of those in the family?" The prince offered back, "However, I can only give them the opportunity to learn from the teacher. It's up to them. Wang Ziling's knowledge is not solid enough, and his temper is impetuous. That Mr. Zhou is probably hard to like; Zimu is still young, quite spiritual, calm-tempered, and diligent in studying, so he was chosen. More likely."

"The essay meeting is just a few days away, how about I join in the fun?"

"Why not? There is one more post, and the king will ask the other highnesses if they want to go?"

Li Hui thought about it carefully, it is impossible for his eldest brother to be keen on this kind of literary society - my grandfather is very interested, but he should not go out casually if he wants to go out - even if he wants to go out, such a literary society cannot Let him go so as not to provoke any villains.As for Li Wei and Li Jing, they would rather play with swords and guns than go to any literary conference.

It seems that we can only ask Princess Changning.Although the little guy is quite displeased with the Yang family, he should be very curious about this kind of literary meeting.After all, she is a young lady, and she has no chance to participate in such a banquet for scribes.The most important thing is that she has been only focusing on accompanying her grandfather and Mrs. Du recently, and she rarely has fun, as if she has become mature and responsible in an instant, which makes his elder brother feel distressed.Join in the fun, maybe you can also change your mood?

The author has something to say: Saint: There is no scenery like Guozijian, why do you go to visit it?

Xiaojun Wang: (⊙o⊙) Traveling and rewarding people.

Saint: A group of clean civil servants with unshaven beards. What is there to admire? If you want to reward, you have to appreciate it, right?

Xiaojun Wang: Of course there are good-looking ones, and Zi Xian is pretty good-looking.

Saint: (Why can't this child understand at all?)

Xiaojun Wang: Grandpa, I'm going now.

Saint: Somebody, take this child there.Alas, I didn't get the hang of it.

Wang Langjun: ^^, Your Majesty is always welcome.
