imprinted you in my heart

The empress dowager did not tell Shi Min about the tortoiseshell's death until after the Shangyuan Festival. Shi Min didn't believe it at first, and thought she had heard it wrong. Year? !

There are many rare and exotic animals raised in the royal garden, but because the breeders are careful, and the food and housing are all in accordance with their habits, the mortality rate is quite low. Why did this big Chinese New Year die? She gave it to the Queen Mother the tortoiseshell?

Although Shi Min was not feudal and superstitious, this incident still made her a little nervous, and she always felt that it was not a good omen.

Sure enough, it's only been a few days?A sad news was sent to her. Her teacher Xuanyuan Mo passed away two nights ago. The teacher survived the most difficult end of the year, but failed to survive the sudden cold beginning of the year. In the end, it was less than she expected. After a spring and autumn.

She has been paying attention to Xuanyuan Mo's condition. She thought that she would survive the most difficult end-of-year winter and live another year, but she didn't expect that God has no eyes, and a sudden cold came!

Teacher Xuanyuan left after all, so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Xuanyuan Mo's death also means that her literary era has come to an end. The great figure in the literary world, the terminator of the court prime minister, and a generation of great writers and emperors who have been praised for most of her life have fallen, and everyone who hears it is sad. .

Speaking of which, after retiring from old age and returning to his hometown, Master Xuanyuan actively supported the revocation of the prime minister's position, and was criticized by literati in private. If his heart was not strong enough, he might have died of depression.

But those who have a pair of discerning eyes who can see the essence through performance know that Xuanyuan Mo is the real wise man who dares to retreat bravely, and it is also the highest state pursued by scholars who do not seek fame and fortune-retire after success.

No matter what others say about Xuanyuan Mo, Shi Min really admires this teacher, not only because of his profound knowledge and loyalty to the country and the king, but more importantly because of his character and strict self-discipline.

When others become prime ministers, once they hold the power, even if they don't seek personal gain for themselves, they will reject dissidents, make a big talk, and try their best to firmly hold on to the power in their hands, but Xuanyuanmo sticks to his duty as a courtier, even if she ascends the throne Shicai also let her make up her mind on everything, and never make decisions without authorization.

It can be regarded as setting a good example for all the courtiers, and it is precisely because of Teacher Xuanyuan's strong support and help that she can really sit firmly in the position under her buttocks.

Even if she wanted to abolish the position of prime minister later, Teacher Xuanyuan did not resist or join courtiers to resist, but actively cooperated, and even offered to resign her old age and return home to cater to her thoughts, how could she not admire such a person!

When Shi Min arrived at Wenxuan Hall, Ma Jie had just arrived. After sitting down and saluting, Shi Min directly let Lu Guanchu show the letter to him.

Ma Jie, who was suddenly summoned, took the letter in doubt and read it, frowning tightly after reading it.This made Lu Guanchu a little confused, if it was a matter of war, it should be called the Military Secret Office and the Ministry of War, if there were corresponding departments for other things, it would not be called the Ministry of Rites!

Although the Ministry of Rites is also one of the six departments, its status is still weaker than other departments. It was only in recent years that His Majesty attached great importance to education that his status has improved somewhat.

"Teacher passed away suddenly, I am deeply saddened, and I want to go to offer my condolences, what does Ai Qing think?" It was not until he heard His Majesty's sad voice that Lu Guanchu understood why His Majesty suddenly changed from joy to sorrow.

Ma Jie returned the letter to Lu Guanchu in its original form, and only then did he salute again and solemnly advised: "I beg your majesty to mourn and think twice. I know that your majesty and Master Xuanyuan are not only deeply in love with teachers and students, but also deeply in love with each other. The journey is far away, and it will cost a lot of money if you bring guards of honor, and the time span will be long, if you only bring a few entourages, how can you feel at ease? Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to think twice!"

When Ma Jie said this, he paused for a while before continuing: "I suggest that you send an imperial envoy to represent His Majesty, so that you can fulfill the teacher-student relationship between His Majesty and the teacher, and also protect Your Majesty. If possible, I would like to kiss you on behalf of Your Majesty." Past."

Others may not dare to say such words, but Ma Jie dared to. In addition to his own personality reasons, he also has his understanding of His Majesty. It is self-evident to ask him to come here at this moment.

Shi Min was even more sad when she heard the words. She really wanted to see the teacher off for the last time, but she knew in her heart that she would not be able to go, and she also understood that what Ma Jie said was the truth. Yu would definitely not let her go no matter what.

Not to mention those truly loyal nobles and ministers, if she really insisted on going, it is estimated that several rows of dissuading people would really block the gate of the city.

"Get up. If I let you go, what should you do?" Ma Jie waited anxiously for a long time before finally hearing His Majesty's slightly choked voice again. Emperor, how lucky he is!

Ma Jie got up and said calmly: "I suggest that Lord Xuanyuan be buried with the ceremony of the former prime minister." It means that all the specifications and etiquette are in accordance with the funeral standards of the former prime minister.

But Shi Min didn't answer immediately, the dissatisfaction on his face could be seen by everyone, so Ma Jie had to test again: "Buried with the ceremony of Marquis?" His face still didn't change, so he went further and said: "Buried with the honor of the Marquis?" burial ceremony?"

Only then did Shi Min say "yes" in satisfaction, but he still felt unclear and added: "I will be made the Chancellor of Zezhen, buried with the ceremony of the title of Chancellor of the Township, and I will also be given a Qingyu Bamboo Festival Pen and a Qingluan Clothes." One set, posthumous title Wenzheng, the pen can be left to future generations, go down and prepare."

Ma Jie, who was so shocked that his pupils were slightly dilated, was still in a daze until he left the palace gate. His Majesty gave Xuanyuan Mo all the honors that the civil servants could not ask for. It would be false to say that he was not jealous, but I don't think about it, after all, no matter how floating I am, I still know how many catties I have.

Except for those who have the title of prince and the kings of the vassal states, royal costumes are never given lightly, even posthumously. Therefore, the Qingluan suit, which is slightly inferior to the purple jade belt and the high-ranking prince, has become a reward that all the ministers dream of. one.

Coupled with the highest gift pen that can be left to future generations, although it is only a sapphire bamboo pen made of bamboo joints, it is not even made of jade, but it is still a street away from most civil servants. Pens are rare.

As long as you have this pen, even if Xuanyuan Mo is gone, as long as His Majesty is still here, the Xuanyuan family will still be the same Xuanyuan family. Three generations of wealth.

But these are not what shocked Ma Jie the most, because although there are few conferments and pens, there are still many people who have won this honor throughout the entire Hua Dynasty, and there are also descendants who have lost everything after changing hands. No, it was really beyond his expectation.

When the announcement is made, he should not be the only one who is shocked. If there were no subsequent incidents, the posthumous title given to Xuanyuan Mo Wenzheng by His Majesty would be worthy of the name, and everyone would be convinced, but now it is hard to say.

There were also people who secretly discussed it, thinking that Xuanyuanmo could at most get the second posthumous title of civil servant, so he also thought so, but he didn't expect that the emperor's heart is unpredictable. On average, an emperor can't give a civil servant the title Wenzheng's posthumous title, she just gave it to her!

Xuanyuanmo's posthumous title means that she will become the No. 20 nine ministers who will enter the Richen Pavilion to enjoy offerings. It can be regarded as occupying the No. 20 nine ranks that everyone has known for a long time. It is already certain that she will enter sooner or later Gu Yunchou enshrined in the Richen Pavilion.

Gu Yunchou won such great military exploits that he only got the marquis and the purple jade belt. Even if he got the tickets for Richen Pavilion and the posthumous title of military commander in advance, others would not dare to think about other things. Someone has entered the Richen Pavilion.

But he didn't expect the changes to come so quickly. The No. 20 nine famous ministers who actually stayed in the Richen Pavilion turned out to be Xuanyuan Mo, which surprised him, but when he thought that His Majesty today can have the same martial arts and martial arts as the emperor's master. It is related to the teaching and support of Xuanyuanmo, coupled with Xuanyuanmo's own literary status, he is relieved.

Ma Jie is not only a veteran minister in the court, but also served His Majesty for many years, so he naturally knew her unspoken meaning, so he went to prepare overnight. The next morning, he directly presented His Majesty's meaning as his own suggestion.

All the ministers have no objection to posthumous title, burial with the ceremonies of the township, conferring obedience, and granting pens. After all, Xuanyuan Mo’s status as a literary master is unshakable. Some ministers complained.

But the reasons for objection are irrelevant, they cannot withstand scrutiny and in-depth investigation, and the real reason cannot be put on the table. After all, Shi Mian is still in office, and there are only a small number of people who object, so in the end, Shi Mian still resists all opinions and agrees. .

In the afternoon, Ma Jie, who received the title of imperial envoy, set off with his entourage and corresponding supplies. Shi Min, who was dressed in plain clothes, delivered them outside Dacheng Gate in person, and stopped for a long time until the team was out of sight before returning.

Last night, Bu Qianxue stayed overnight in Bu Mansion and did not come back. Shi Min was alone in Anren Palace and couldn't sleep all night, waking up and sleeping, sleeping and waking up again, thinking about Bu Qianxue, political affairs, and getting along with the teacher All kinds of things, I didn't sleep well at all.

If you don't sleep well, your spirits tend to be a little weak. Finally, today's political affairs have come to an end, so Shi Min went back to Fengde Palace and had a good sleep. When he woke up again, the lights were already on.

When Shi Min came together, he wanted to ask Bu Qianxue what he was doing as usual, but just as he was about to speak, he realized that Bu Qianxue hadn't come back yet, so he only asked the time and asked Lu Guanchu to arrange meals.She didn't even eat dinner, she must be really hungry now.

After a while, the dinner was served, but Shi Min was dumbfounded, what about the sumptuous dinner in the past?Why is there only a bowl of egg noodles in clear soup and a dish of meat?Looking at Lu Guanchu's position, he found an internal officer with his head buried. Regardless of his figure or body shape, he was not Lu Guanchu, but he was somewhat familiar.

Looking around, all the internal officials who had been guarding their posts were gone, and only she and the internal official with his head buried were left in the main hall.

"Come here." Shi Min said to the internal officer with a bunch of question marks in his heart, but the internal officer remained silent as if he hadn't heard it. Shi Min shouted twice again, but there was no response. He wanted to call the internal guards outside to come in. Feeling that the crime of the internal official is not worthy of death, he got up with a sullen face.

She wants to see which internal official dares to ignore her like this!After a while, she will be demoted to an ordinary palace servant!

Shi Min walked to the place three steps away from the inner officer and stopped. Before he could ask any questions, the other party raised his head and looked at him. His anger disappeared in an instant. He quickly walked over and hugged him in his arms, and said softly: Why don't you tell me in advance when you come back, so that I can pick you up at the palace gate."

"Be happy. If I told you in advance, there would be no surprises. This is my noodles. How about you taste it?" The internal official was none other than Bu Qianxue. She returned to the palace in the afternoon. Knowing that Shi Min was taking a nap, he didn't bother him. Instead, he wanted to make dinner for him on a whim, so he went to the imperial dining room.

A scholar who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, he has a good intention to cook dinner, but unfortunately the result is the opposite. Every dish he wanted to cook ended in failure, and finally he had to lower the standard to cook this bowl of clear soup and egg noodles.

As for the simple noodles, the eggs and meat dishes were ready-made, and I didn't know if it was good or not, so Bu Qianxue pulled Shi Min to sit down, and waited for her to eat with anticipation.

But Shi Min felt like facing a big enemy, others didn't know, she still didn't know if Bu Qianxue could cook?Hugging the Buddha's feet temporarily is also a matter of talent, but on the surface it seems to be so capable.

Under Bu Qianxue's expectant eyes, Shi Min slowly picked up the chopsticks with a soft complexion, stirred the noodles, picked up a chopstick and brought it to his mouth, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, his expression remained unchanged.

"The taste is not bad." After Shi Min finished speaking, he gave Bu Qianxue a thumbs-up, and Bu Qianxue was so happy that he grabbed the chopsticks from Shi Min's hand and ate the noodles, but he was very disappointed. Anyway, far from as good as she imagined.

After this test, Bu Qianxue understood that she didn't have any talent for cooking, so she resigned to her fate and thought it would be better to follow the old customs, throwing out some seasonings or ingredients and treating it as her cooking, which is also quite good.

A bowl of barely-flavored noodles is definitely not enough for two people. In the end, the imperial dining room worked overtime to re-make a simplified version of the dinner, and the two were satisfied.

Not only did Bu Qianxue come back today, but she also gave her such a surprise. Shi Min was really happy, and the sadness of the teacher's death was also diluted. In fact, she felt that the taste of the noodles was not too bad. Anyway, it was better than she expected. better.

Occasionally, some unexpected surprises are mixed in the ordinary days. She likes and enjoys such days very much! ?
