Xu Zhen didn't know how lively the bamboo house was now.
She was walking to the teahouse with the old woman Taiwei. The teahouse was remote and there were no people there. After the three of them sat down, the old woman said straight to the point: "The Taiwei wants to thank you."
Xu Zhen was taken aback.
With the status of Taiwei, thank you
She didn't know why, thinking for a long time, she didn't feel that she had done anything good recently
Could it be the book about flood science
So, the book I wrote has already been seen by the Taiwei? That's great! In this case, wouldn't it be more convenient to popularize science
Xu Zhen originally felt that the spread of writing novels was too slow. If the Taiwei and the old woman were willing to help, it would definitely be much easier!
She was about to mention something about accelerated transmission.
Li Taiwei suddenly said: "Mr. Xu, thank you for taking care of my grandson earlier."
Xu Zhen was a little surprised, it turned out that it was not about the flood novel, but about taking care of Li Sanlang.
After regaining her senses, she hurriedly said, "Teaching students is what I should do. You don't have to be so polite, Taiwei."
Li Taiwei sighed and said: "I know how Sanlang is."
Xu Zhen sat beside her, not daring to answer.
Li Taiwei continued: "Sanlang is self-willed and never listens to persuasion. I said it several times before, but later I couldn't do it, so I had to let him stay in Jiangling."
Xu Zhen helped her student's respect in a timely manner: "Li Sanlang is a smart student."
Li Taiwei was serious and cast a glance at Xu Zhen.
He knew his grandson very well in his heart, playing around and ignorant of the general situation, even in Chang'an he would be annoyed.
It is incredible that this kind of person can become eager to learn, and not just talk about it, but really study hard. The person who can make Li Sanlang do this must have real skills.
Li Taiwei was originally curious about Xu Zhen, but after listening to the emperor's teacher's description, he felt even more amazing.
Seeing it today is really unusual.
Seemingly ordinary and casual, he can move his hands and feet, revealing the demeanor that a scholar should have. If this kind of person can win—
Li Taiwei thought of this, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, there is no need to praise too much. I am looking for Mr. today. I have other things besides thanking you."
His voice was flat, the old woman smiled kindly, and the atmosphere in the room was harmonious.
Xu Zhen was seduced by the harmonious atmosphere.
She picked up the teacup and said politely: "If you have anything to do with the Taiwei, just tell me directly. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Li Taiwei nodded, looked at Xu Zhen, rolled up his sleeves and lifted the tea, and placed it in the middle of the square table, there was a crisp sound between the teacup and the table.
After a ding sound.
Li Taiwei asked: "Sir, what do you think of the world today?"
Xu Zhen shook her hand and almost spilled the water in her teacup.
She quickly put the teacup on the table, looked at the Taiwei, and then at the old woman.
What's happening here
The situation in the world? Ask her about the world situation of a person who wears books? Did the captain realize that what he was doing resembled a time traveler? It shouldn't be, I am so low-key.
And she does know about the situation, but she can't just say something like "the world is about to be taken away by the villain".
Xu Zhen coughed twice, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any deep meaning for the Taiwei to ask me this?"
Li Taiwei didn't speak.
The old woman reminded from the side: "Sir, the crown prince has not yet been established, and the court has already made continuous moves."
Xu Zhen had an epiphany.
This is the beginning of standing up!
If the bet is right, there will be inexhaustible wealth and wealth in the future. If the choice is wrong, the old and young in the family will be reunited in another world.
Xu Zhen doesn't know how many popular candidates are here, but it doesn't matter who they are, because the real future queen is in her family.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the old woman said: "Sir, I know that you have a lot of knowledge, so I came here to seek advice. If you have something to say, I just came here for tea today."
Xu Zhen could fool her, but she didn't dare.
If he said something wrong, not only would he be targeted, but the old woman and the others might also be implicated.
The old woman persuaded again: "Sir, it's okay to say."
Xu Zhen said as tactfully as possible: "Since it is the establishment of the crown prince, you can follow the method of the old ancestors, establish the first son, and establish the eldest son. There is always nothing wrong with the eldest son."
The old woman gave Xu Zhen some common sense: "Mr. I don't know that the previous dynasty was destroyed by the emperor's son. Now that he is the crown prince, he no longer has to stick to his status, but pays more attention to talent."
Xu Zhen didn't know about this, she asked: "Isn't that easier, just follow the talented prince and princess."
The old woman said: "There are too many talented princes."
Xu Zhen took a sip of tea, if this is the case, it might be really difficult.
She raised her eyes and asked, "Do you have any favorite candidates?"
The old woman didn't say it directly, but looked at the Taiwei, and waited for the Taiwei to nod, then the old woman said softly: "Fifth Prince."
Xu Zhen was unfamiliar, and asked, "What does the fifth prince do?"
The old woman explained: "Some time ago, the battle of Langgu Pass was the plan of the Fifth Prince."
Xu Zhen smiled: "That's pretty good, intelligent."
The old woman didn't seem to be very satisfied: "The fifth prince is famous for his Ci Fu. He is the most talented among all the princes. He is familiar with hundreds of books and pays close attention to the people. The court can often put forward opinions that are beneficial to Daqing. It's a pity that the mother's identity , is too low."
Xu Zhen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "Are there any other princes who can catch your eye?"
The old woman said: "There are still three people."
Seeing that Xu Zhen really didn't know anything about it, she introduced the situation to Xu Zhen. In addition to the fifth prince, there is also the third prince who is good at marching and fighting, and the sixth prince who is not good at words but has a good handwriting.
These two princes also have certain prestige, and have gathered some courtiers.
Xu Zhen inquired about the names one by one, and found that she had no impression of these names at all, and they were probably the same cannon fodder as herself.
She continued to inquire about other princes and princesses.
Finally, I finally heard someone familiar, a princess, who seemed to be familiar with the old woman. The old woman said a few things that the princess had done, which sounded very unusual. Besides, if Xu Zhen remembered correctly, this person should It's also one of the villains who can last a long time.
Xu Zhen said: "Listen, I think this princess is more powerful than the previous princes and princesses."
The old woman's eyes flashed: "Princess Anle? Please tell me, sir, why?"
Xu Zhen said: "Shameless enough."
The old woman was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed.
The princess is really shameless, she dared to say that what ordinary girls dare not do, if all the princes fail, the throne may fall to the princess, but the princess is only the younger sister of the Holy Majesty, not the heir.
The old woman smiled and shook her head.
Xu Zhen continued: "Shameless is actually a very important ability. Look at the period of the Three Kingdoms, if Liu Bei hadn't had a thick skin, how could he live in Jingzhou? Later, he became the shepherd of Jingzhou and the shepherd of Yizhou, and gradually grew stronger. stand up."
The old woman responded: "The princess has indeed gained a lot of benefits by relying on this ability."
Xu Zhen said again: "Besides, what the fifth prince did was to imitate Yao and Shun's imperial techniques. Although this method is good, it will take hundreds of years to complete. The third prince loves military affairs and learns to be domineering. Although the fight is fast, it only takes a few Ten years can make the country magnificent, but it comes and goes quickly.”
"That's true." The old woman said with a sigh, "How about the sixth prince?"
The sixth prince loves to read and write, but he doesn't know how to speak.
It's not that this kind of person can't be an emperor, but all the things the old woman said about the sixth prince are related to Fu and handwriting, and there is no mention of political talent at all.
How does a calligrapher become an emperor
Xu Zhen explained and asked: "Woman, do you know that during the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Cao was going on an expedition, his three sons came to see him off?"
The old woman asked, "Is it Cao Zhi's Ci Fu?"
"That's it." Xu Zhen said, "At that time, Cao Zhi made the Ci Fu, which made everyone happy, but at this time his brother Cao Pi rushed forward, hugged Cao Cao's thigh and cried, crying very sadly, everyone moved and cried together, waiting to cry After it was over, everyone completely forgot about Cao Zhi's good article, and felt that Cao Zhi's show was not as touching as the second son crying directly."
After thinking for a moment, the old woman asked, "Sir, what do you mean, practical actions are more important than talents? But the princess didn't do anything good for the country."
Xu Zhen said: "The fifth prince is upright, the third prince is fierce, and the sixth prince is not good at words, but the princess is shameless and treacherous. How do you feel about this comparison?"
The old woman sighed after hearing this, and after a moment of stunned said: "Sir, the conclusion is correct."
She had talked with the Taiwei earlier, and she had already realized that the fifth prince they both liked was too upright, and she often compared herself to Yao and Shun, and might be a little lacking in strength.
She didn't have the nerve to say it too directly before, but unexpectedly, even so, Xu Zhen could directly hear the strengths and weaknesses of this person.
Really great!
The old woman didn't care what the Taiwei thought, she was already moved by Xu Zhen's words, she stood up and wanted to salute Xu Zhen.
At this time Xu Zhen also stood up.
Xu Zhen felt that it was almost time for the conversation, and it was time for her to go home for dinner.
But the moment she stood up, she thought of one more thing, and sat down to drink water again.
The old woman was a little confused by Xu Zhen's actions, and she asked, "Sir, you—"
Xu Zhen interrupted with a smile: "Wo, I actually do have one more thing I want to ask you for help."
The old woman hurriedly said, "Sir, tell me directly."
Xu Zhen pondered for a while, and said very euphemistically, "I heard something a few days ago."
The old woman asked, "What story?"
Xu Zhen said: "If a heavy rain is coming, there will be phenomena such as swallows flying low, fish diving into the water, and snakes passing through. But when I went out recently and listened to people chatting on the street, I found that these things happened together!"
The old woman hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, do you think that the rainstorm is coming and will cause floods?"
Xu Zhen nodded: "Yes!"
The old woman said: "That's easy, I'll ask someone to inform the governor of He Fang."
Xu Zhen said: "But the heavy rain is coming, and it is too late to repair the river now. I think it would be better for the people of Chang'an to leave Chang'an temporarily and go to the nearby highlands."
The old woman frowned: "Sir, if there is a large-scale migration for no reason, I am afraid that it will cause public anger, or, sir, what did you expect?"
Xu Zhen was taken aback, thinking that the old woman was indeed a mix-up from the palace, she was too sensitive.
She quickly revised her statement and explained calmly: "I just think that if the embankment really broke, the people must have suffered heavy casualties. In the Shouyang Water attack, more than 100,000 people were drowned by flooding the Fushan Weir. It’s already in disrepair, and it’s about to rain heavily, so it’s not good if it is used by someone with a heart.”
The old woman was moved by this general statement, she nodded and said: "Mr. is right!"
The Taiwei didn't open his mouth all the time, but when he heard Xu Zhen talking about the rainstorm, he asked in a deep voice, "How do you think you should deal with it, Mister?"
Xu Zhen said: "It's better to educate the people on how to save themselves first, and move people to high ground before the rainstorm becomes violent."
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that she would expose her identity by being too ostentatious, so she quickly got up and ran away.
After taking Xu Zhen away, the old woman and the Taiwei were still sitting in the teahouse. The two were silent for a long time, and the old woman asked, "What do you think of this man?"
The Taiwei just drank water at first.
While drinking, he slowly gave an evaluation: "Good!"
Although it was only a one-word evaluation, the old woman was shocked. You know, the Taiwei has not praised anyone for a long time, even when facing the Holy Majesty, he mostly reprimanded him rather than praised him.
Xu Zhen can be evaluated in this way by the Taiwei, and can be valued in front of the Holy One.
The old woman sighed secretly, Mr. Xu, he is really not an ordinary person. Fortunately, he was dragged out of Jiangling...
The night was darkening, and the sky was gray and cloudy.
It may be that the rainstorm is approaching. When Xu Zhen returned home, she was covered with hot and humid mist.
She was not in a good mood at first, but when she looked up and saw the little beggar sitting in the main hall, she ran up happily and shouted, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xun Qianchun shook his head, and stood up to help Xu Zhen get the books in her arms and a bag of lotus leaf-wrapped food.
Xu Zhen stroked her hair, and said as if to claim credit: "I've already helped you with the academy, so you don't have to worry about being bullied anymore."
Xun Qianchun nodded and said, "Thank you sir."
Xu Zhen was even happier when she was thanked, she sat down at the table with a smile, opened the food and asked the little beggar to eat with her.
Then I thought of the Li Taiwei I saw today.
She gossips with the little beggar.
"I met Li Sanlang's grandfather today, and his grandfather turned out to be the Taiwei in the palace. Do you know the official position of Taiwei?" Xu Zhen said, "It's really amazing, it's really amazing, the salary is about ten times that of mine. Double it."
Xun Qianchun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "It should be."
Seeing her smile, Xu Zhen leaned over to look at her.
Xun Qianchun asked: "What are you looking at, sir?"
Xu Zhen didn't speak, just laughed.
She felt emotional in her heart, thinking that when she first picked up the little beggar, this person always had only one expression, and he was too obedient, not like a villain.
Now I finally know how to laugh. Although I only laugh once in a while, it still gives Xu Zhen a lot of motivation.
It's a pity that she is a villain, and she is destined to be unlucky.
Xu Zhen felt heavy again when she thought of this matter.
She hadn't talked with the little beggar about the way of governing the country for a long time, and this afternoon, she happened to talk about it with the old woman, so she used this topic to continue the chat.
She first talked about the question the old woman asked herself, then talked about the situation in the world, and finally concluded: "So when you become an emperor, you must be diligent in government and love the people. Even if you admire Legalism, you must also remember foreign Confucianism and internal law. Don't be stupid." Xi completely reveals his thoughts."
Xun Qianchun listened carefully, holding the cup in his hand and lowering his eyes.
Xu Zhen asked, "Do you understand?"
"Sir." Xun Qianchun asked, "Why do you think that I will become the ruler of the country?"
Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually, I think you have great potential."
Xun Qianchun nodded.
Xu Zhen said: "Even if you don't govern the country, you will definitely use your abilities in other places. You should study hard and don't go astray. This world is too dangerous. Once you go astray, you will definitely be punished by the messenger of justice. "
When Xun Qianchun heard this, his expression didn't change much.
Xu Zhen was a little curious and asked, "Aren't you surprised?"
Xun Qianchun said: "I will do whatever my husband asks me to do."
Xu Zhen asked: "I let you be the emperor, and you will be the emperor too?"
Xun Qianchun said: "I will work hard."
"Hey, you are so boring, you don't even resist."
Xu Zhen scolded, but she was still very happy. She laughed happily, and after laughing for a while, she felt that she was too stupid, what was she doing, wasn't she trying to get the villain to take over!
She quickly sat up, took the little beggar's hand, and wanted to explain what she just said.
But about to explain.
She suddenly saw flashing characters passing between her and the little beggar's fingers.
This string of characters shone with golden light, almost forming a ball of light, so dazzling that Xu Zhen almost couldn't open her eyes.
Xu Zhen took a long time to get used to it, carefully looking at the flashing characters. It was found that there were several +10+10 numbers written on it.
It was the same number as the one she saw one night when she first came to Chang'an.
As the number increased, a warm feeling slowly flowed through her body—
It is a merit point.
After Xu Zhen realized this, she cautiously let go of her hand.
The numbers disappeared.
She touched the little beggar with her hand again.
The numbers appear again.
…
Xu Zhen was shocked.
She looked up at the little beggar, and then looked down at the string of numbers. She held the little beggar's hand and stroked it around, as if stroking a peerless treasure.
What a baby.
To be able to continuously generate merit points. Is this how the villain's oil and water are rubbed off like this
Is the posture I rubbed before all wrong?
No, I used to beggars often, but why didn't I see this kind of merit points visible to the naked eye!
Xu Zhen can't figure it out, but it's a good thing to have some merits and virtues, so why bother with so many principles!
The eyes she looked at these little hands were full of love. What a beautiful pair of hands they are, the hands of God who bestow life.
Xu Zhen was so moved that she was about to cry.
She held the little beggar's hand in both hands for a long time, looked at it affectionately, and accidentally fell asleep on the table.
There was an open book beside the table, the pages were blown by the wind blowing in from the door, swaying in the air, after struggling for a long time, the last page was quickly flipped to the right.
The lights flicked to the right.
Shaking people's eyes are itchy, and their hearts are also itchy.
It wasn't the first time Xun Qianchun encountered this kind of thing, she remembered that her husband had been like this before, and fell asleep while chatting.
However, the difference is that the husband held his hand tightly this time.
Xun Qianchun stared at Xu Zhen's sleeping face for a long time, afraid that Xu Zhen would catch a cold, and wanted to pull her hand out.
However, it was only a slight twitch, and one could feel Xu Zhen's efforts to persuade her to stay.
… gentlemen.
Xun Qianchun's brows and eyes gradually softened, and she called out a few times to Mr. in a low voice. Mr. was already asleep and would not respond to her. Only these hands holding her tightly could prove everything.
She is very happy.
When the lights were extinguished, she closed her peach-blossom eyes, with a smile on her lips, leaned over, and gently pressed her forehead against Xu Zhen's.
Sir, she was really, really happy.
…
The author has something to say: Little Beggar: My husband likes me too much, what should I do
--
This golden light is because the assister seemed to have done something a few days ago, and then the little beggar went crazy again.
