Chuntao was also sad, thinking why men just can't pass the test of women.
"Queen, maybe the emperor is raising a friend of his in the pavilion. Before you meet someone, the queen should not think about it! I don't think the emperor is the kind of empathy, and he doesn't have any fancy things in his stomach." " Chuntao still wanted to comfort Rong Changan.
Rong Changan smiled helplessly: "Let him go! Let's go to the Royal Garden to relax."
She thought to herself, now that Yan Li has so many things that make her sad, won't there be many, many things in the future
The maids bid farewell to Rong Changan, walked through the small gate of the East Palace, and came to the downstairs of the pavilion.
The maid who answered Chuntao's question just now said to the maidservant waiting downstairs: "I'm sorry, I ran into the queen on the road just now, so I was delayed for a while. Here are snacks, soup, etc. You can bring them to the nobleman to eat!"
"What did the queen say?" asked the servant girl downstairs.
The maid smiled: "I didn't say anything, I just asked where we are going."
A trace of panic flashed across the maidservant's face: "Since we met just now, forget it, but if we meet again in the future, we must not reveal who the noble person upstairs is. The emperor ordered that no one should know. If you reveal it, you will not be offended!"
The maid smiled disapprovingly: "Look at my sister who is in a hurry! I naturally know that this is the emperor's oral order, and I don't want anyone to know. I didn't say anything to the queen, so you don't have to worry. If there is nothing else, we will Return!"
The lady-in-waiting was about to leave, but she saw that the door was suddenly brightly lit. First, two soldiers in gold armor stood on both sides of the door, holding long axes in their hands; downstairs.
Then came a few eunuchs and maids carrying lanterns, separated from the two sides, and Yan Li was behind.
The maid was very surprised when she saw Yan Li, and quickly knelt down: "Long live the emperor!"
Yan Li stretched out his hand and asked the maid to stand up: "Have you prepared supper for the nobles upstairs?"
The maid said: "I have brought it here, and I am about to take it up!"
Yan Li said: "It's just right, I'm going upstairs too."
A group of people walked up the Hu ladder and came to the pavilion. I saw the purple smoke in purple clothes flashing across the screen like a whirlwind, kneeling on the ground, shouting long live.
"I didn't know the emperor was coming, I hope you will forgive me!"
Yan Li smiled slightly, put his hand on Zi Yan's weak and boneless arm, and slowly helped her up.
"Zi Yan doesn't need to be too polite. I'm here today to check your academic performance. In the past few days, have you come across something you don't understand in your studies? If so, you might as well ask me, and I may be able to answer you."
Zi Yan smiled: "There are many, waiting for the emperor to come and teach me a lesson."
Yan Li loves reading all his life, and believes that books can influence a person and turn a bad person into a good person. He believed that books could also influence Ziyan.
"Don't teach me a lesson, I'm just giving you some pointers. In the academy, there are many bachelors, all of whom are well-educated. Their knowledge is much greater than mine! If I don't know how, I'll call them over again. , let them answer the question."
Zi Yan squatted down again, and said delicately: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about Zi Yan so much, it's really a kindness!"
Zi Yan led Yan Li to turn around the screen and came to the place where she was studying, and saw two bookshelves beside the wall, the shelves were full of books. Many books have been left unattended for a long time, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated.
Under the shining candle, Ziyan opened a copy of "Zuoshi Chunqiu", stretched out slender spring bamboo shoots, pointed to an article, and said: "I read this article, and I think it is very exciting. The historical events mentioned in it, Almost the same as the emperor's experience."
Yan Li was surprised and said: "In the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, there are still people who have experienced the same experience as me? Can you point out who it is?"
Zi Yan pointed to the word "Zheng Zhuang Gong" and said with a smile: "This person's experience is similar to that of the emperor."
While the two were talking, the maid had already laid out today's supper on the table.
So the two chatted while having a drink.
"How did Mr. Zheng Zhuang go through the same experience as me?" Yan Li frowned slightly, a little puzzled.
Zi Yanyu moved her hand lightly, and poured wine for Yan Li.
"This Zheng Zhuanggong tolerated his younger brother Duan Shugong very much at the beginning, but Duan Shugong didn't know how to repent, so he intensified his evil deeds and made the evil bigger and bigger. In the end, the two brothers turned against each other and fought each other. Justice is on Zheng Zhuanggong. In the end, Duan Shugong defeated."
"In the beginning, when the emperor dived into the dragon, he repeatedly tolerated Li Hai's persecution and murder, and tolerated him as a fish and meat to the people of the world. The common people expelled the tyrant and gained the world of the Great Jing Kingdom. Isn’t the experience of the two different? They both fought injustice with justice, and justice won in the end.”
Yan Li had read "Spring and Autumn" for countless times, and never connected him with Zheng Zhuanggong. Hearing Zi Yan's explanation, even though it was a bit contrived, it was also very fluent.
Yan Li thought about it, and he really felt that he was Zheng Zhuanggong, the one who eliminated violence and made peace, and Li Hai was that Uncle Duan who did all kinds of evil and didn't know how to repent.
"It seems that you read with your heart, and you know how to understand the principles of life and doing things from reading. You don't know how many emperors, generals, and even knight-errants. Big, put the country before the family, and put others before yourself. I also hope that Ziyan can learn more truths from "Spring and Autumn" and other books, and start a new life."
Ziyan blushed a little, lowered her head and said, "After I read that paragraph by Uncle Duan, there is one more person who feels emotional."
Yan Li hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"
Zi Yan then pointed to a few words on the book, and Yan Li saw that it was the word "Queen Dowager".
Yan Li frowned again in doubt: "How did this Empress Dowager make Zi Yan feel emotional?"
Ziyan's tone suddenly became distressed: "The queen mother originally helped Uncle Duan, but after Uncle Duan failed, Zheng Zhuanggong imprisoned her in the underground of Jiuquan, saying that she would never see her again. But what happened later?"
There was a sad light in Ziyan's charming eyes, and she glanced at Yan Li, "Later, after the minister's mediation, Zheng Zhuanggong changed his mind and went to meet the Queen Mother in the tunnel under the Nine Springs. Like the Queen Mother, help the youngest son usurp the position , should have been executed. But Zheng Zhuanggong spared her life for the sake of his own mother, and later released her. Such crimes as hers can be forgiven, but what about me?" Zi Yan was pregnant again. He took a deep look at Yan Li.
Yan Li didn't dare to look at Zi Yan, coughed twice, and bowed his head in silence.
Ziyan lifted up her sleeves, brushed her eyes, and said in a crying voice: "I admit that I have sinned in the past, and the sin was great, but I also have great merit! I saved the queen and killed the tyrant. , Isn’t it a great achievement? I only hate that I have the same experience as the Queen Mother of Zheng Guo in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the situation is completely different. I am locked in this pavilion every day, facing the ancient books with dry lamps. I am really worried. Alas, hate What? Hate my own fate, don’t you!”
Yan Li naturally heard the hidden words in Ziyan's words. Although her words are gentle, there are needles hidden in the cotton. Ziyan's so-called "diverse situation" is nothing more than that the queen mother met a wise king, and today Ziyan met an unknown king, so that she made such a great contribution, but because of a little mistake in the past, she was imprisoned in the pavilion. Chat for the rest of your life.
Yan Li stood up, folded his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and looked at the darkness of the night. If he wants to release purple smoke, he not only has to pass the test of the minister, but also the test of Rong Chang'an.
