The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 28

Sheng Xiangxun came home on duty. As soon as he entered the gate of Yongfanyuan, he saw a small round figure flashing past. When he looked over again, he saw a small trembling figure on the edge of the second gate. Swaying leisurely.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that his little girl was waiting, so he turned his eyes and looked at the brick wall not far away.

He has basically never done things like climbing over the courtyard wall since he got married, but the body memory is there, and it is not easy to pick it up at this time. With a few borrowings, he landed safely. side of the interior wall.

Satisfactorily patting the dust off the edge of the official uniform, Sheng Xiangxun looked up, and saw his little girl looking out the door with her chubby body pouted.

"Eh? Eh? Where's the person?" Sheng Yuan's small face was pressed against the wall. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the sound of footsteps approaching. He couldn't help but look over, but found that it was very quiet outside the door, and there was no one at all. Walking around, I can't help but feel a little puzzled.

But before she could think about it, someone lifted the collar on the back of her neck, and her feet flew into the air in an instant.

Looking up, her father's half-smile face immediately came into view.

"???" Sheng Yuan was startled, and couldn't help rubbing his eyes with his small hands.

Just now she clearly watched her father walk in from the gate!

"Why are you staying here?" Sheng Xiangxun felt that his wrists were sore from being hit by this girl, so he quickly used both hands to let her sit on his forearm.

"Father!" Sheng Yuan skillfully hugged her father's neck with one hand, pinched his ear with the other hand, and couldn't help asking, "Is the article handed over? What did the officials say?"

Sheng Xiangxun raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the little girl to wait for him to come back from duty because of this.

He walked back with her in his arms, and said with a smile: "Hey! You little girl still knows how to rush? Tiao Chen, your father and I handed it in early in the morning. I'm afraid it's only now before your Majesty's case. How can you tell me?" There will be a result so soon? What's more, everything in the court has a priority, the Holy Majesty has to read the memorials first before reading the Imperial Academy's report, it's useless for you to be anxious."

Hearing what her father said, Sheng Yuan knew that she would not believe it today, so she stopped thinking about it.

Soon, her sister Sheng An came back from school bouncing around, and the two sisters just laughed and didn't mention it.

In the side hall of the Lanzheng Hall, Emperor Chengyuan looked at the front of Tiao Chenshang, rubbing his fingers fast and slow.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Yang Xun whispered back beside him.

Emperor Chengyuan didn't raise his head: "Well, let him in."

The prince Jiang Huaiqian approached quickly, bowed and saluted: "I respectfully invite my father, Emperor Shengan..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Chengyuan beckoned him to go over: "You have a look at this seal."

Jiang Huaiqian said yes, then took the paper from Emperor Chengyuan with both hands, and sat down on the soft stool brought by Yang Xun.

As a prince, it is common for him to read memorials in Lanzheng Palace.

Sometimes Emperor Chengyuan read it lazily, so he asked him to read it aside, and sometimes he even asked him to do the review for him.

So at the moment when he took the note, he was very calm inside, neither nervous nor panic, but rather relaxed.

Of course, when he saw the names of officials in the first line of the article, his calm state of mind became turbulent: Good guy, look who he saw? !
Sheng Xiangxun was compiled by the Imperial Academy!

Prince Jiang Huaiqian touched his chest, feeling that his mood swings seemed a little big.

This is not to blame him for fussing!
You must know that his cousin has always been exhausted. He belongs to the kind of person who can find opportunities to be lazy if you throw him into a working environment where there is no day or night. How many times has he handed over Chen Zoushu!

So, what happened to him today?
"Don't look at people with old eyes! I think the three boys of the Sheng family are pretty good! Here, take a good look at the opinions of your cousin." Emperor Chengyuan saw the reaction of his prince and the statement of the seal. The same as before, he was amused immediately, and even his attitude became more and more gentle.

Jiang Huaiqian sighed inwardly, said yes honestly, and began to read word for word.

He was also curious about what his cousin wanted to express.

And this look, is the work of a cup of tea.

"Father..." At this moment, Jiang Huaiqian had some hesitation in his eyes.

He said to Emperor Chengyuan in embarrassment: "This method sounds possible, but it is quite difficult to operate in practice."

"Really?" Emperor Chengyuan didn't take it seriously. Since the angle of the prince and his consideration of the problem is different, it is not unusual for the prince to say this, "Tell me."

Jiang Huaiqian thought for a moment, and then said: "The boarding college has existed since ancient times, and the boarding college he mentioned is not new. Looking at Dachu, there are more than a dozen strict colleges that are not allowed to visit during the study period, but this After all, it’s a boy’s house, if it’s a girl’s house, I’m afraid there will be far fewer people to send it to.”

"The source of students is not a problem." Emperor Chengyuan took the seal and shook it lightly, "It was also mentioned in the seal, this policy can be tried in Daqi people's homes first to see how it works.

At that time, it can be stipulated that all families with a prince, regardless of gender, must be sent to a nearby government school after the age of three, and they are not allowed to leave easily during the period. Only three festivals and two birthdays can go home to celebrate. "

"..." Hearing what his father said, Jiang Huaiqian knew that the old man was moved, and immediately swallowed the words he wanted to refute.

"And the teaching in the academy is not easy." Emperor Chengyuan pointed to a line of words on the notice, and said to him, "It is necessary to instill in the students the benefits of the Great Chu atmosphere at all times, so that they understand the need for women to study. Their awareness of resisting Daqi’s stereotypes is firm, and letting them study with Dachu’s peers will surely allow them to better integrate into Dachu.”

"Father is very considerate, but Daqi's side..." Jiang Huaiqian wanted to say that Daqi's family is not a fool, how could they obediently cooperate.

When Emperor Chengyuan heard the words, he sneered: "They will cooperate! Don't look at their scholar-bureaucrats who are full of rules, and the rules are so big that it seems that they can't live if they don't follow the rules.

But if they knew that giving away a girl would resolve the crisis, then they would be willing to give away all the girls in Daqi. "

Jiang Huaiqian is used to looking at people's eyes, now seeing what Emperor Cheng Yuan said was firm, he no longer held on to it, but talked about other things: "My son saw that the unified textbook was mentioned in the report, I wonder if the emperor has any arrangements? "

"You will be responsible for this matter, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy will be transferred as you please..." Emperor Chengyuan thought for a while, and ordered, "After you finish it, present it to me for reading."

"Yes." Seeing that his father had made arrangements, Jiang Huaiqian simply settled down and accepted the arrangements.

……

On duty the next day, Sheng Xiangxun had just settled down in his seat when he saw the prince walking in with an imperial decree in hand.

When everyone saw this, it was another great gift. After the imperial decree was issued and the compilation of the textbooks was arranged, the prince Jiang Huaiqian walked up to Sheng Xiangxun and said with a smile, "Master Sheng, move for a moment?"

No one in the Hanlin Academy didn't know the relationship between the two, so they didn't pay much attention to it, after all, no one's job was idle.

"Cousin." When he walked to the flower pavilion and sat down, Jiang Huaiqian smiled gently, "When my mother finds out that you are willing to use your brains, I'm afraid you will smile."

When Sheng Xiangxun heard it, his face turned pale: "His Royal Highness, I am not the one who uses the brain, I am just summarizing and embellishing it."

As he said this, the words "You will never guess" flashed in his eyes.

The warm smile on Jiang Huaiqian's face almost couldn't be maintained for a moment.

Xin said, if it wasn't for the queen mother's doting, he insisted on asking: As a editor of the Imperial Academy, the idea of ​​writing to the emperor is not from you, which is something to be proud of?

"Could it be Madam Sister-in-law?" Jiang Huaiqian was still a little curious about who came up with such an idea.

Sheng Xiangxun shook his head, and said triumphantly, "You won't believe me if I tell you."

"Oh? Tell me?" Jiang Huaiqian really couldn't think of anyone else who would be willing to be a counselor for a salty fish who doesn't seek to make progress. Wouldn't it be better if he had a good idea?

"Ah-choo!" Sheng Yuan was making it clear that when the chariots and horses competed with his second sister to throw dice, his nose suddenly itched and he couldn't hold it back. He sneezed, and the car was about to stop at six o'clock. The dice flipped over, a good two sixes suddenly turned into a three one one, and immediately lost five points to her sister.

"Who! Who's muttering about me behind my back!" Sheng Yuan looked at the result in disbelief, and watched her second sister cheering and picked up the last piece of apple-shaped pastry, so angry that she almost jumped.

"Don't let me know who made the mess, or else, or else, I must let him know how bad it is!" Sheng Yuan bared her two rows of white baby teeth angrily, and showed her weapon fiercely.
