Two hundred and twentieth chapters deep self-promise
"The courtyard is as deep as it is, the willows are piled with smoke, and the curtains are countless." Die Lianhua
Not long after the emperor went downstairs, Cai Zhenji came over from nowhere. She first looked around the door and saw Liu Jiang with his back to the door, his thin shoulders straight, as if he was resisting.
An invisible burden.
Liu Jiang seemed to be looking at the scenery in the distance, completely unaware that Cai Zhenji was approaching.
"The eldest princess" Cai Zhenji is only two years younger than Liu Jiang. The sixteen-year-old girl is from a high family and has already matured mentally in this era. She and Liu Jiang have known each other through the piano, and they have formed a deep friendship over the past year.
The relationship between them is also unparalleled.
Seeing that Liu Jiang was silent, Cai Zhenji took the initiative to walk to the other party. She saw Liu Jiang's right hand placed on his chest, holding a round piece of uncut jade in his hand. This piece of white jade was carved using an intaglio technique, with a hole drilled in the middle, and a piece of round jade in his hand.
It is tied with a red ribbon, and there are several lines of small and unclear characters engraved on the jade body, which cannot be clearly distinguished for a while.
However, Cai Zhenji knew that these were auspicious words after all, because the name of this thing is Gangmao, and the words on it must be chosen to be carved at the Mao hour of the first month of the year. Once the hour passes, it must be stopped immediately. According to the customs of the time,
Wearing this object can ward off ghosts and monsters and protect you from all diseases. Therefore, during the Han Dynasty, people would wear it as an amulet.
The piece of Gangmao in Liu Jiang's hand was obviously very old, and it didn't look like the carving craftsmanship was owned by anyone in the palace. Cai Zhenji was about to ask a question, but suddenly noticed that Liu Jiang was looking down at the Gangmao with a vague look in his eyes.
Tears flashed.
She was suddenly startled and said hurriedly: "Eldest Princess, what's going on? What happened?"
Liu Jiang shook her head and said nothing. Although she closed her eyes, her tears seemed to be falling down like broken beads. At this moment, she had torn off all disguises and cried like a helpless weak woman. Cai Zhenji
Startled, she subconsciously reached out and hugged Liu Jiang. The usually arrogant Princess Wanwan also leaned obediently on Cai Zhenji's shoulder and sobbed.
"I know, I have always known," Liu Jiang cried in Cai Zhenji's ear, with deep sadness in his voice. Cai Zhenji was also affected by it and almost shed tears. But the emperor was still downstairs.
, the car was not far away, she couldn't hold her head with Liu Jiang and cry, so she gently patted Liu Jiang's back and listened quietly to her cry: "He always thinks that he is thoughtful."
Cai Zhenji somewhat understood what was going on. The marriage contract was also decided by others, and everything could not be done by herself. From Liu Jiang, she thought of her sister Zhaoji, who had followed her father's arrangement to marry far away from Hedong, but within a few years
Then she became a widow and then thought about what she would face in the near future. She felt even sadder in her heart and couldn't help but cry quietly with Liu Jiang.
In Tianlu Pavilion, two noble-born women were sobbing at each other. The sunlight outside the window shone slantly on them, but it seemed as if there was no warmth. Outside the window, the Hengchengmen Street facing them was bustling with people.
The city was bustling with people waving their sleeves like clouds.
It seemed that the wind was passing by, and the copper bell hanging on the North Sima Gate Tower gently swayed and made a sound. The sound was like a bird, as if a bird had been staying inside for hundreds of years.
The emperor came and left in a hurry, and Cai Yong, Cui Lie and others had to greet him and send him off again. When he arrived at the door of Tianlu Pavilion, as soon as the emperor was exposed to the sun, he felt that his chest was very angry for no reason.
It felt stuffy, as if there was a stone blocking it.
When he made Fu Qianwai a small magistrate of Ju County, it was not mainly to seize Ju County in advance, a key pass from Wudu to Hanzhong, but to send Fu Qian away far away. The emperor
I have always looked down on Fu Qian's aggrieved and awkward look, as if he was not willing to be the secretary, but he was forced to do so due to the situation.
If it weren't for the fact that the Fu family had considerable power in the court and was of great use to the emperor, the emperor had long wanted to drive away Fu Qian, who was not aligned with him. How could he have been allowed to serve as a secret agent in the province?
title!
The emperor got angry every time he thought about this. Although he asked himself, he thought that based on the situation back then, Fu Xie's death for a dynasty that was rotten to the core and an emperor who indulged in wine and sex was indeed not worth his death. But all this is different from what it is now.
What is the relationship between the emperor and the emperor? The emperor believed that in terms of being close to the virtuous and corporal, and in terms of being diligent in government affairs, he was already a hundred times better than the previous two emperors. Even if the father's debt is paid by the son, this is not the case.
What's more, how can any minister secretly harbor grievances or get into trouble with the emperor?
Before that, the emperor thought that no matter who Liu Jiang fell in love with, as long as his family background and talent caught his eye, even if he was not a prince, the emperor would be able to help him out. But who knew there were so many secretaries and supervisors?
, Liu Jiang didn’t like anyone, but he chose Fu Qian.
Is it possible that the emperor must pay a sister to the Fu family to settle the old grudges?
Not to mention whether Mrs. Fu has the face or whether this marriage will be beneficial to the emperor, the emperor will not easily agree to Liu Jiang's married life.
Thinking like this, the emperor took a deep breath, and the knot in his chest had not dissipated. The secretaries and supervisors in the Shiqu Pavilion opposite had already known that the emperor was coming, and all of them, including Xun Yue and Xun Yue, were waiting by their side. They seemed to think that the emperor was here.
I have to come to Shiquge regularly.
But the emperor was no longer in that state of mind at this time. He looked back at the three-story Tianlu Pavilion with carved eaves and teeth, and then at the secretaries and supervisors who were standing with him under the sun. He suddenly spoke to everyone.
Said: "Shiqu Pavilion was originally a collection of books for the imperial court, and it is not suitable for frequent public access. Since the establishment of the secretarial supervision system, there has never been a formal government office. At first, I saw that the classics in Shiqu Pavilion were in a mess and no one was taking care of them, so I allowed the secretary supervision to accompany me to school.
In addition, I also take care of organizing pictures and books.”
Secretary Ling Xun Yue, Lantai Ling Shi Caiyong, servant Cui Lie and others exchanged glances with each other, none of them knew what the emperor's sudden visit meant.
They knew that the emperor still had something to say, so they all endured the harsh sunlight and remained silent like clay dolls.
"Now the books and books in Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion have been sorted out, and Cai Gong, Cui Gong, Xun Gong and others are responsible for compiling and compiling history. The purpose of writing and compiling books is to keep quiet. Every day, the secretary supervises everyone to read books.
Discussing the scriptures will inevitably lead to some troubles, so now we should choose another place and consider it as a government office." This was an idea that the emperor had already thought of. There are too many prophecies, historical biographies, and official private files hidden in Shiqu Pavilion and other places.
It is not suitable for the secretary to see.
Simply take this opportunity to let them wait in another place. Firstly, it can give the secretary a formal office. Secondly, it can also prevent those sensitive people from wanting to borrow books other than scriptures after the rumor spread to the world.
You must first ask for permission from the emperor, and then go to Shiqu, Tianlu Pavilion, etc. to ask for it.
Therefore, the emperor said: "Emperor Xiaowu had to wait for the imperial edict on Jinmamen, and there was also the office of Yutang. The stories of the predecessors can be traced back, and now he has ordered the secretaries to move to Yutang Hall. In addition to accompanying him in reading, he can also wait for the responsibilities of the imperial edict.
."
This unexpected and reasonable change made everyone's reaction a bit mediocre. The nature of the Secretary's Prison is almost the same as that of the Jinmamen Waiting Zhao. It is indeed not suitable for a place like Shiqu Pavilion, which is a good place for repairing and collecting books. What's more, since it is waiting for the imperial edict, it is not suitable.
The imperial edict must be located in the place closest to the emperor, and it is always ready to listen to summons. Shiqu Pavilion is located in the north of Weiyang Palace, far away from the front hall where the emperor usually lives, and is indeed much farther away than Yutang Palace.
This change, however, implicitly gave the secretary prison a new power in addition to accompanying the emperor.
Waiting for the imperial edict means waiting for the emperor's destiny.
This is a person who serves as an advisor and can discuss political affairs with the emperor. Taking into account the current status of the secretary, the secretary can be regarded as the most powerful close servant besides the servants and Huangmen servants.
Although the emperor would usually discuss state affairs with everyone in the secretary's room, this had not really become an explicit system. Now that the emperor has made it official, I don't know if it is an unintentional move or if he has an ulterior motive.
Cai Yong was still hesitant. He couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts for a while, and he couldn't refuse this high-sounding edict. Cui Lie had always wanted to please his superiors. He only had flattery in favor and absolutely no reason to refuse.
As for Secretary Ling Xun Yue, Huan Fan, Yang Xiu, Sima Yi and other secretaries who had a stake in the matter, they had no reason to be reluctant when they saw that at such a young age they could legitimately discuss state affairs with the emperor and even influence national policies.
The emperor said this not to discuss with them. His eyes passed deeply over the faces of Yang Xiu, Huan Fan and others who were looking happy, and he didn't say anything and went straight to the car. 11
