Bai Song took the scroll and looked at it seriously.
Xiang'er scolded: "As for his article, he is not afraid of my husband laughing at me. Take it away quickly, don't stain other people's eyes."
"Sister, let your brother-in-law take a look first."
Lin Xun was still a little unconvinced.
The reason why Lin Xiang'er thought that Lin Xun's article did not appeal to Bai Song was because it was compared with previous poems written by Bai Song.
In fact, the literary level of the Bai Song Dynasty was not that advanced. They had some basics and knew how to appreciate it, but they were not considered to be among the best.
After briefly reading Lin Xun's articles, Bai Song found that although this guy was glib and unreliable, his articles were still written in a orderly manner, which was completely opposite to his usual frivolity.
At this level, it is more than enough to be considered a scholar, but there may still be some gaps if you want to go further.
But Lin Xun has reached the threshold of being a Jinshi, at least the secret will not be exposed.
With Bai Song's judgment in mind, he naturally felt much more relaxed. He returned the book to Lin Xun with a smile, and then said: "Xiang'er, don't ask for too much. Lin Xun does have some literary talent. I think he will be a Jinshi in the future.
It’s not a big problem.”
Lin Xun's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Haha, my brother-in-law said I can do it, so of course it's no problem! Sister, what else do you have to say now?"
Lin Xiang'er looked at Bai Song with worry on her face: "Ms. sir, you can't be so conniving...the palace..."
"Okay, okay, you don't need to worry about this matter. If my brother-in-law, Bai Song, doesn't even have the title of Jinshi, wouldn't it be a joke if word spread? If you say no, it's related to the reputation of the palace. I say it must be
You have to help, this is even more related to the face of the palace."
Xiang'er wanted to say something, but Bai Song suddenly said with a straight face: "Xiang'er, this matter is your fault. The Lin family and the palace are on the same side. You avoid suspicion and don't want to be blamed, but you don't know that Beiding
The palace must also have its own dignity. If you can't even protect your mother's family, if others see it, they will think that I, the Prince of Beiding, are easy to bully, and no one will take us seriously."
Xiang'er gradually began to think about it, but she had never thought about this.
Xiang'er was originally a very weak woman, but in her current position she had to pretend to be right. She didn't want to compete with others, so she only wanted to be conservative when doing things.
Now I was touched by Bai Song, and my thoughts suddenly changed. I didn't know what to say for a while, but I was already touched.
Bai Song stepped forward and patted Xiang'er on the shoulder: "That woman is not good to her parents' family? Now that she has a good life, helping her parents' family is a matter of course and filial piety. Who can make irresponsible remarks?
You, you should think more about yourself in everything, this family cannot be maintained by one person."
Xiang'er nodded gently: "Yes, I understand."
Bai Song looked at Xiang'er's eyes and was convinced that she really knew, so he said: "Hurry back and talk to your parents. I have to ask Chun Wei about the trial."
Bai Song left Xiang'er's courtyard and went to find the princess again.
Now it is inconvenient for Bai Song to go out, so he can only ask the princess to run errands for anything.
When it comes to the appointment of the chief judge, there are many people competing, but the final decision is made by the emperor's words.
To influence the emperor's decision, relying on the status of the princess is obviously not enough. There must be a sufficient reason to make the emperor feel that Zhang Liang is the most suitable person to be the chief judge.
Bai Song didn't think about how to lobby, so he could only temporarily send a message to Lu Yao and ask him to help him think of a solution.
Bai Song didn't know much about the various relationships and unspoken rules of the court, and he seemed very new to dealing with such incidents. This also caused Bai Song a little more trouble. With his current situation, when the one-year period expires, he will definitely have to
Going to court every day to discuss affairs was different from traveling around to solve various practical problems before. Bai Song didn't know if he could handle it.
At night, Bai Song went to Zhang Yuhan's room as agreed.
Because I have something on my mind, I'm not very excited tonight.
Zhang Yuhan saw her husband's emotions in her eyes and stood obediently while rubbing Bai Song's shoulders and legs. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about the matter of Chun Wei's trial?"
"Well." Bai Song didn't hide it, "Your father has no obvious advantage in the court, and I can't come forward in person now. It's inconvenient to go to see the emperor or the ministers, and they won't help easily.
I didn’t think of any proper method.”
"Husband, don't worry, I have a solution."
"Oh?" Bai Song exclaimed, a little surprised, and grabbed Zhang Yuhan's little hand rubbing her shoulder, pulled her into his arms and sat down, "Let's talk and listen."
"My husband has said that among the many candidates, my father is the one with the least advantage. You can use this to make a fuss."
"How to say?"
"Husband, please let the princess go to see the emperor and say that peace is rare in Chang'an. It has not been such a stable scene for many years. Besides, the recent good weather in the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the country and the people are the result of the stability of all parties. Then go to see the empress and tell the empress about the spring weather.
The hidden danger is that all parties in the court are now stable. If next year's students fall under the same sect, I am afraid that the current balance will be broken. That's it for now, there is no need to say more."
Bai Song's brows furrowed tighter and tighter as he listened, and he withdrew his hand from the silly baby's body.
The silly baby suddenly stopped being silly. Even Bai Song had to think about what he said for a while.
"You mean to use the Queen's mouth to let the Emperor see the hidden worries in the court?"
"What we say is all true. Among the veterans in the court, who doesn't want to compete for this year's chief judge? But if anyone becomes the chief judge, as long as he gives a little benefit to this year's candidates, the candidates will be grateful. This is a time to win people's hearts.
It was a good opportunity. The first thing the minister wanted to do to win people's hearts was to make the emperor uneasy. Today's emperor is the best at checks and balances. How could the emperor ignore the matter of letting one family dominate? At that time, only my father reassured the emperor the most, because my father did not
There is no connection with the party. The only connection is with the husband. However, the husband does not hold a position in the court and has no real power. Only if my father becomes the chief judge next year will it not destroy the balance in the court, so my father's disadvantage will change.
This will become an advantage. I think that this way I can easily get the emperor to hand over the chief trial to my father."
"Okay!" Bai Song's eyes lit up. He stood up and patted the silly baby's butt, filling him up with some excitement. "How come you, baby, suddenly have an idea? Who told you this?"
"Of course I thought of it myself."
Snap!
Another slap came from behind, causing Zhang Yuhan to scream in surprise.
Bai Song had a straight face and asked again: "Are you asking for a beating for being dishonest? To be honest, is it your father who sent this message?"
As soon as he asked the question, Bai Song shook his head: "No, this person is not your father. Who is giving you advice?"
Zhang Yuhan hesitated for a while and looked at the wall next door.
