The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 353 Taishi Bureau
At this time, between the monarch and his ministers, with just a word, one can guess what the other party is thinking. This feeling is a bit wonderful.

His Majesty Li Er still has plans for Goryeo, and when the time comes, the most indispensable in the court will be Changsun Wuji, and the indispensable in the army will be Li Ji.

After Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang had lunch in Wude Hall, they planned to take a walk in the palace. They kept suffocating in the room, a little out of breath. The air in the room in winter is not as fresh as it is outside. The smoke made people dizzy.

After walking, they arrived at Nuan Pavilion where Jinyang lived.

"Speaking of which, your Nuan Pavilion is unique in the palace." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"That's right, Brother Jing, there is nothing to see in winter. If you wait until summer, the scene of the Nuan Pavilion will be the most refreshing." Jin Yang replied.

"That's not necessarily true. When it snows, the Taiye Pond will freeze. At that time, maybe there will be a lonely boat and hat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow."

"A man in a lonely boat and hat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow" Jin Yang heard Xuan Shijing's two lines of poetry, tasted them carefully, but felt nothing but the desolation in the lines.

"Brother Jing, how can you be so emotional? But this also corresponds to the scene in winter. However, if the Taiye Pool freezes in winter, there will be palace people who will chip away at the thin ice on the surface of the pool, lest anyone Because of walking on the ice and falling into the water, Uncle 22 was playing in the Taiye Pool the year before last, and unfortunately fell into the water. As a result, the father was furious and punished a large number of palace people who served by Uncle 22. Since then, In the winter of this Taiye Pool, there will always be palace people chipping away the ice on the surface of the pool."

"So that's the case, but how old is your 22nd uncle, how could you accidentally fall into the Taiye Pond." Xuan Shijing smiled lightly.

"Uncle 22 is one year older than Sizi, and he was granted the title of King Teng at the beginning of this year, and eats Tengzhou." Jin Yang explained: "However, I heard that Uncle 22 is in Tengzhou, extorting excessive taxes and building large-scale construction projects, which caused complaints from the local people. The emperor is also very displeased with it."

Seeing that this King Teng is also one of Li Yuan's achievements in Da'an Palace over the years, but the name of King Teng is somewhat familiar.

"Be extravagant and licentious, no matter how angry your majesty is, in the end it will just make him a prince of peace. Compared with your sixth uncle, he is still a prince like Prince Teng, so the court can rest assured." Xuan Shijing laughed. .

"The harm between the two is the lesser. Now that I think about it carefully, I really embarrass my father." Jin Yang laughed.

"Is it difficult for your father? Brother Jing doesn't know, but what Brother Jing wants to know is, has Sizi's homework fallen when he came in?" Xuan Shijing smiled and looked at Jinyang: "It seems that Sizi returned to the palace. , I never went to class."

"After returning to the palace, the queen mother took care of me even more strictly when I went out of the palace. I didn't want to go to the Hongwen Museum, so I just read and wrote in the study by myself. Go to Master Wei for advice." Jin Yang said: "If brother Jing doesn't believe it, he can take the exam."

Xuan Shijing smiled and waved his hands: "Forget about the baking school, if it is about studying, I may not be able to read much more than you, and if you make me stumped, it would be shameless, right, I remember you wrote a biography for your aunt, how is it now?"

Mentioning the "Biography of Princess Pingyang Zhao", Jin Yang seemed a little discouraged: "I showed it to my father last time, but it was not printed in the end, saying that if such a book was published, it would take manpower and material resources, and this This book is not a book that is helpful for students to preach, receive karma, and solve doubts. There is no need to publish anything. I originally wanted to pay for it myself, but in the end, my mother stopped me."

Now Datang's books are still mostly engraved blocks, and it is true that engraving a book for one plate is a waste of manpower and material resources. However, with so many talented craftsmen in Datang, no one thought of movable type printing?
"Si, do you know that there is no lead in this palace?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Lead? What does brother Jing want lead for?"

"Of course I will help you." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "As long as you find the lead, the publication of your book will be covered by Brother Jing."

"If it's lead, you have to go to the observatory of the Taishi Bureau. Li Daochang has a lot of preparations there." Jin Yang said.

Taishi Bureau, Observatory, Li Chunfeng?

What is he preparing so much lead for?Alchemy?

"Si, how about going with me to the Taishi Bureau?" Xuan Shijing said, but now he remembered that a few days ago, Li Chunfeng sent Xiaodaotong to the Hou's Mansion, saying that it was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. , but now that he is confined in the palace, without Jinyang's company, he can't even take a step in Wude Hall. The possibility of meeting on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month is not very high, so it's better to go to the Taishi Bureau by himself.

"Okay, let's go, Brother Jing, this way." Hearing that Xuan Shijing said that he was going to the Taishi Bureau, Jin Yang turned around.

After walking around seven times and eight times for a long time, I saw the gate of the Taishi Bureau.

The Taishi Bureau is located in the southwest of the imperial palace. I heard that every flower, every grass, every mountain and every rock in this courtyard is in accordance with the laws of nature, implying gossip, yin and yang. It is much more atmospheric than most of the buildings in the imperial palace. Stepping into the courtyard of the Taishi Bureau, the mood is unexpectedly peaceful.

Standing in the rear of the Taishi Bureau is a towering attic, which is the star observatory. The star observatory is almost at the same level as the Nuan Pavilion.

"For Xiaodao, see Princess Jinyang, and Lord Dongshan." Xiaodao Tong, who was guarding the door, saw that Jinyang brought Xuan Shijing into the Taishi Bureau, and hurried forward to salute.

"Exemption." Jin Yang said with a smile: "Today, it is considered presumptuous for me to bring Master Dongshan to visit. Does the Master think about it?"

Xiao Daotong shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "This master has never mentioned it to Xiao Dao, but the master has already prepared tea on the observatory, and seems to be waiting for someone."

"This Li Chunfeng is really a bit of a god." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Please lead the way ahead, please."

"Your Highness, Lord Hou, please break the path and come this way." Xiaodaotong walked in front of Jinyang and Xuan Shijing, leading the way for them.

"Why don't you just leave the main entrance and go around?" Xuan Shijing asked with great interest.

"Back to Lord Hou, the arrangement of the flowers, plants and strange rocks in this garden seems simple. This is a formation set up by the master and Daoist Yuan. The main entrance is the entrance of the formation. It is to go to the backyard from the side door under our guidance."

"No wonder." Jin Yang whispered.
