Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 331 Gold Letter Plaque
Cui Xuan felt that Shen Sanwen was afraid that these three people had to make achievements before he could be granted an official position, or if he formed a new department like the Ministry of Culture, then the power would be great.

He suddenly wanted to get involved.

Education is linked to the imperial examination.

With such an opportunity, Shen Sanwen can see the fate for the three young people?
It seems possible.

No matter for the family, for his own future, or even for the great cause of assisting the king in the future, he can't let go of this power.

Why was it rejected?
It depends on the matter to avoid suspicion.

Now that Shen Sanwen has done a series of actions such as arguing in court, giving speeches, and improving papermaking techniques, it is not good for him to ask to enter the game now.

If he didn't come here today knowing that the family and Shen Sanwen had a lively quarrel in the restaurant, he wouldn't know that the family has been in such a difficult situation and was suppressed by the imperial power to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up.

Although this is a general trend, as the family that gave birth to him and raised him, how could he not be sad.

If we can get a head start in education, use the imperial examination model to cultivate talents within the clan, and obey the imperial power in the future, at least the current situation will not happen.

People in the family would not think about wrestling with the emperor and causing disaster.

It's not that he worries too much, but that the more peaceful and prosperous the world is, the greater the power of the imperial power will be.

No military power, no right to speak.

These old people still can't recognize the reality.

However, it is not a gentleman's act to get involved in education after the event.

Cui Xuan had a headache.

The Cui Mansion is located in the most precious area of ​​Luoyang. The plaque of the Cui family is grand and majestic, a golden signboard. Because of the love and maintenance of the descendants, not only has it not lost its brilliance over the years, but it has become more eye-catching.

This plaque has protected Cui's descendants for many years.

Cui Xuan was reluctant to step in at the door.

Is he a sinner through the ages?

The book has always taught loyalty and righteousness, the monarch, the minister, the father, the son, and the son. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Cui family has learned this from generation to generation, but loyalty to the emperor and patriotism have changed after all.

In the past, he always thought that by cultivating himself and keeping his family in order, improving his abilities, and keeping his family in harmony, he could really govern the country and the world.

These years have also been through twists and turns.

From the most honorable son of the Cui family, who longed to become a general and become a prime minister, he became a model of talent admired by the world who ignored the imperial power and resigned with arrogance.

He has become the envy of the world, but there are countless ups and downs behind him.

He not only longs to be able to really do a great job, but also longs for the family to be proud of him and make the family more prosperous.

However, I did not expect that one day, the family and the country would be against each other.

If the family is prosperous, the country will decline.

When the country prospers, the family loses.

Over the years, he has really participated in every matter of people's livelihood, from a thinker who only gives orders and ponders about cause and effect, to a practitioner.

It is common sense for him to understand every little thing about fishing, woodcutters, farming and reading, and knowing that everything will not go as smoothly as he imagined. For those farmers, it is difficult to understand after repeated explanations several times.

Enlightening the wisdom of the people can indeed strengthen the country.

He is also eager to see the world that His Majesty and Shen Sanwen mentioned, where everyone eats and drinks without worrying about reading, where natural disasters are invisible by planting trees and forests, and there is no longer the pain of wives and children being separated and family ruined.

However, occasionally returning to the mansion, looking at the ordinary cousins, he longed for this day to come later, so as not to let the entire Cui family be eliminated by the times.

Shen Sanwen often said that all people are created equal.

But for those who are originally superior, making them equal to ordinary people is not so easy to accept.

He was in pain and annoyed, thinking hard about how to make his family keep up with the changes and rapid development of the court.

Although he persuaded these uncles with his mouth, but deep down in his heart, he did not dare to believe Shen Sanwen's words.

What if they really have no way to change and become eliminated in the imperial examination.

The difference between people is far from that big. He was hailed as a child prodigy since he was a child, but it was because of his personality that he would think a little more every step he took.

What if one day the world is full of people like this?

The future is full of unknowns.

His heart was full of confusion.

Cui Xuan was right at the door, staring straight at the plaque, at the blessings and responsibilities his predecessors had left for him.

Standing for a long time.

No one stepped forward to disturb, and no one stepped forward to comfort.

He didn't hold on until he felt a stiff feeling in his neck.

Ideal, or family?
Is it too selfish to blindly pursue his own ideals, or is it a waste of the family's efforts and efforts in cultivating him?

Cui Xuan has always felt ashamed in his heart.

He had been in Yuanzhou for several years, and it was with great difficulty that he escaped from all the family-first thinking that he had cultivated since he was a child.

Cui Xuan walked into the ancestral hall in a daze, and knelt in front of the tablets of the ancestors.

As if this would free him temporarily from these contradictions, he is here, and no matter how these contradictions evolve, it has nothing to do with him.

Cui Xuan stayed in the ancestral hall for three days.

Of course not kneeling all the time, but simply accompanying these spiritual seats.

On the third day, Shen San asked a little angry.

Not angry with Cui Xuan.

Cui Xuan took care of many things for the princess, except for the miscellaneous things in the princess' mansion, whether it was the income of the Huangzhuang or political affairs, His Majesty's advice.

Cui Xuan and Song Jing will deal with many small matters for the princess in advance, and then compile them into a book and submit them together with the important matters.

Song Jing also has the affairs of the official department, the assessment of Chang'an officials, and the daily report.

are very busy.

Suddenly one less person is enough to mess up.

It was impossible for Song Jing to deal with it all. After two days of accumulation, Song Jing didn't think about transferring it to the princess, so she gave it to Shen Sanwen first.

Shen Sanwen tried to deal with it for a day, and then couldn't take it anymore.

There are hundreds of states and counties, even if only a few words are transmitted from a state, it is not easy to read them all.

What's more, these people who have passed the imperial examination are still showing off their literary talents in various newspapers.

There are also huge differences or even completely different information reported by superiors and subordinates and different departments from different perspectives.

Shen San asked why the world was in such chaos.

This is harder than reading elementary school students' composition to understand the meaning.

He is not at the scene, how to tell.

Shen Sanwen hurriedly found out the memorials that Cui Xuan had dealt with in the past to learn from his experience.

For example, the business affairs of Yangzhou.

The report given by the local county magistrate is that the people's slowdown coincides with the rainy season and the progress is slow.

The report given by the state officials is that the jurisdiction of the county officials is not good, and the people are deeply afraid that business roads will pass through the fields and affect the harvest.

Cui Xuan's reply to the county magistrate was that the state magistrate will show your merits. Although the rainy season is difficult, you will still persuade the farmers to support the mulberry trees. If you don't lose the farming season, business is a major matter for the court. You must not delay it. It must be completed as soon as possible. The court appeases the state road.

The reply to the state official is that the county official has pleaded guilty due to improper progress, please be sure to help, and the business will be successful in the future, and the state and county will be rewarded by the court.

It is a credit to the state magistrate, and a comfort to the county magistrate.

The reply to the princess is more comprehensive, the state and county are at odds, and the work is not progressing, the minister has sent a letter to inquire, if both of them are concerned about the country and the people, once the reply arrives, the knot will be resolved.If there is another inside story, we will wait for the progress of the next performance to be held accountable.

Shen San asked himself that he couldn't learn it.

For example, he didn't know what the inside story in Cui Xuan's pen meant.

Is it because of corruption without law, purely personal grievances, or genuine dissatisfaction among the public, so the progress is slow.

But Shen Sanwen believed that all of them knew it well.
