Soon, reports and suggestions from various places about the Yuewen Department were piled up in front of the emperor's papers. Looking at the pile of reports, the emperor had no choice but to let Yuan Feng come into the palace to help him review it. This was also
As a sign of love, Yuan Feng happily went to the palace. Immediately before, he specifically informed Yuan Shu that he would be very busy these days and might not be able to go home for several days. You have to be honest. If you dare to go out and make trouble, you will
Break your legs!
Yuan Shu repeatedly promised that he would not go out and would stay at home honestly, so Yuan Feng left with peace of mind.
However, the two of them reviewed the reports day and night, but the number of reports continued to increase, which made them exhausted. In desperation, they found Cai Yong again, and the three of them reviewed together, which relieved some fatigue. It turned out that the emperor was still
He wanted to find He Xiu, but He Xiu was already old. The emperor was worried that there was something wrong with his health, so he didn't invite him.
The three of them reviewed together. The emperor put down his pen and said with some emotion: "Everything is available in the Literature Department, but something seems to be missing..."
Yuan Feng was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But there are some poems and prose missing?"
Seeing that Yuan Feng understood his thoughts so well, the emperor also laughed loudly, nodded and said: "Yuan Jun knows me!" Everyone knows that the emperor is fond of literary works. Whenever the emperor has free time, he will write some literary works.
, came to show it to the ministers and asked them to speak frankly without any scruples. It is true that he likes to write poetry, but at this level...
It’s hard to comment. Although the Emperor wants them to speak frankly, think about it. Who was the person who criticized the Emperor’s literary talent last time? It was Tian Feng. He was the most outstanding imperial student at that time. After he finished criticizing the Emperor,
After his literary talent, the emperor loved him very much and thought he was a real talent, so he threw him into the barren land of Liangzhou out of a tempering mentality...
I heard that a plague just broke out in Guzang...
From then on, Baiguan suddenly felt that the emperor's prose was actually quite good!
Cai Yong frowned. He knew that the emperor had always had an idea to establish a school similar to Menzixue to recruit literary masters to write literary poems for viewing. However, Cai Yong and other officials
But I don't like it, because compared to Confucian classics, these literary works and poems are still minor after all. If a school is specially set up to cultivate them, it seems that the gain outweighs the loss?
Seeing that the emperor expressed this idea again, Cai Yong thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty wants to gather everyone in the world to create a legacy of literature?" The emperor grinned and said: "I have never thought about Cai Yong.
Do you have such thoughts?"
Cai Yong knew the emperor well and said helplessly: "I do have such thoughts."
"Well, that's OK. You can bring it up for discussion at court another day..." The emperor said cheerfully. Yuan Feng looked at Cai Yong with some doubts. He didn't understand why Cai Yong supported this matter. Cai Yong usually didn't
By no means a flatterer, Cai Yong felt happy when he saw the beaming emperor. The emperor governed the country and made great contributions to the world, but he was always frugal and simple and never expanded the palace at all.
This time, His Majesty's small wish is fulfilled, so what?

Hejian Kingdom, Jiedu Pavilion
Several alchemists were walking on the ground. They were dressed very simply, with no extraneous decorations on their bodies. Even their swords and crowns were omitted. Several of them had no shoes on their feet and were barefoot.
Okay, when passers-by saw them, many of them bowed to the person in the front, and the person in the front returned the greeting with a gentle smile.
His name was Zhang Jiao, and he was originally from a powerful family in Julu County. I don’t know when he became a disciple of Fang Shi and began to learn Taoism on his own. From then on, he sold his family property and gave it to his neighbors, but he traveled around on foot.
In many areas, wherever disasters occurred, he would go there, help treat the sick and injured, and go around to save people. From then on, he gradually became known to everyone.
What's even more surprising is that as soon as he sold off his family property, the court began to arrest powerful people. All the wealthy people were forcibly moved to remote areas. He was the only one who survived because he had dispersed his family property. This was also
It gave him a more mythical feel. Walking on the path in the pavilion, he was surrounded by cultivated land, and many farmers were working hard on the cultivated land.
Zhang Jiao led his disciples to move forward. There were chickens, ducks, dolphins and sheep in captivity everywhere, and the people had no food. They looked wealthy and healthy. Everyone was speechless. At some point, several people quietly followed them.
Zhang Jiao and others did not notice that Zhang Jiao's disciples looked at the scene around them, and one of them suddenly asked: "Master, the sky is in chaos, why don't we see chaos?"
Zhang Jiao stopped, looked at his disciples gently, and said with a smile: "It is a blessing that the world is peaceful and the people live in peace. Why should we worry about this?"
"If possible, I would like this prosperous scene to last for another thousand years!"
Zhang Jiao looked at his disciple and sighed with emotion. The disciple seemed a little ashamed. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Be taught!" Zhang Jiao smiled at him and continued to move forward until they came to a rather luxurious courtyard.
After passing by, he stopped and Zhang Jiao stepped forward in person, bowed his hands and bowed loudly: "Big deer Zhang Jiao, come and pay homage!"
After a while, a person slowly opened the door. The man was a white-haired old man, stooped and leaning on a cane. He walked out of the house with difficulty. His eyes were particularly cloudy. He squinted and looked at Zhang Jiao and others.
After looking at the old man for a long time, he asked, "Who are you?" When he saw the old man, Zhang Jiao bowed again and said, "I am Julu Alchemist Zhang Jiao, and I came here specifically to pay homage to my father-in-law!"
"Oh? These are guests! Please come in!" The old man turned sideways and let them in.
Zhang Jiao asked his disciples to support the old man and slowly walked into the room. Zhang Jiao asked with some surprise: "Old man, do you live here alone?" The old man shook his head and said: "You are a slave at home.
, all the farming has gone, and only this useless person, the old man, is left..."
"My father-in-law is the head of the emperor's family, how can he be a useless person..."
"Hey..." the old man shook his head and said, "I'm just a slave... I'm too old to serve tea to guests..."
"Don't dare!" Zhang Jiao said quickly and began to chat with the old man. The old man was sitting on the bed and talking to him listlessly. He seemed to be half buried in the ground. Zhang Jiao's disciples were a little scared. This old man
It seemed that he might pass away at any time. After a while, Zhang Jiao just said: "I heard that when the emperor was young, he once caught a goldfish by the river. Is this true?"
"Perhaps, the old man has also forgotten something..."
"I want to see the emperor, but I went to Luoyang three times in a row and couldn't find a way. I wonder if my father-in-law can help?"
Zhang Jiao was talking when he suddenly saw that the old man had already fallen asleep. Zhang Jiao sighed helplessly, waved his hand to greet the disciples, and walked out of the courtyard lonely. When they walked out, the sleeping old man suddenly opened his eyes.
He opened his eyes and said calmly: "Come in!" Several strong men suddenly walked out of the surrounding houses. The old man narrowed his eyes and said: "Follow this group of people and see what their intentions are!"
"yes!"
"Liu Jiazai, why don't we just kidnap them and interrogate them directly?"
"Don't alert others... This man seems to have an ulterior motive... For some reason, I don't like him..."
