Nongmen's fierce wife busy farming

Chapter 1200

"It's so good, everyone competes fairly, and it's really a good choice for everyone to show their talents."

Bai Ningxiang thought for a while, if he could take this opportunity to choose a highly respected Confucian, it would only be good for the crown prince.

After the emperor drank the ginseng soup, the two had just chatted a few words, and Wen Taifu had already arrived.

"I see the emperor, empress empress."

"Teacher please stand up, sit down and talk."

Han Jing helped him up himself, and explained his thoughts to Wen Bu by the way, then looked at him,
"How does the master feel?"

"Thank you, the emperor, for your trust. I have brought the most learned teachers from all over the world to Beijing, and selected the emperor's teachers for the prince. The veteran thinks this is a very good move."

Wen Taifu bowed and saluted, he also heard about the recommendation of the prince and grand master, but he didn't expect that the emperor would consult him on this issue.

It is an unprecedented grand occasion for the world's learned people to gather together. The emperor's willingness to jump out of the routine is beneficial to both the crown prince and the court, so naturally he will not object.

The emperor and the queen respect teachers, which is the gospel of the students all over the world. It is also his persistence for so many years, and it has not been wasted in vain.

Han Jing looked at Wen Taifu and smiled gently, "Both the queen and I know that Taifu is benevolent and benevolent. I wonder if Taifu has anyone to recommend?"

"This?"

Taifu Wen raised his head, looked at the couple sitting in the first place, and couldn't answer for a while.

"Is there any embarrassment for Wen Taifu? Both the palace and the emperor want to choose a good teacher for the prince. Now that there is one teacher missing from the three, the earlier the decision can be made, the earlier the minds of the court officials can be appeased."

Bai Ningxiang looked at Taifu Wen's hesitation and asked directly.

"Going back to the empress, I am ashamed of the old minister. If I really want to recommend it, the old minister does have one candidate. In terms of knowledge, this person is far above the old minister. If he can teach the crown prince the theory of governing the country, it will be the best."

Wen Taifu said, sighing faintly,
"This person is the same family of the old minister when he was young, and he is also a descendant of the Meng family. He can be called a great sage. He has always adhered to the "theory of good nature" and has always adhered to his ambition. bona fide."

"It is believed that benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and other ethics and morality all originate from human nature and heart. As long as you seriously teach the cultivation of human nature, you will be kind to others, and you must be benevolent when you are a king."

Wen Bubu said, his expression involuntarily fell into some kind of memory.

Han Jing and Bai Ningxiang looked at each other, "Where is this great sage now?"

"The old minister is old, and I haven't seen him for many years, but he knows that the Meng family lives in seclusion in the southeast. If the emperor is not in a hurry, the old minister will write a letter of dismissal and describe the emperor's general intentions. Whether you come or not, it's up to the senior brother himself gone."

"Even if he is from the same school and is also a learned person, let's send someone to invite him. If we understand it with reason and move it with emotion, we must invite him."

The members of the Meng family are willing to live in seclusion and not to be born in the world. A mere letter may not be enough to please them.

Take old man Wen as an example. The prince, Xiao Qi and Brother Xing also took turns to bombard him before abducting him in. Wouldn't it be more difficult to recruit someone who is more knowledgeable?
"The empress's words are not unreasonable. The Meng family has been hiding from the world for nearly a hundred years, and it is really not easy to go out of the mountain. I don't know who the empress wants to invite?"

Bai Ningxiang glanced at Han Jing, acquaintances are easy to handle, so naturally they want you to do it yourself.

"What does the emperor think?"

"Cough~, the prince chooses a teacher for himself, so naturally he has to do it himself. I think it would be perfect for the prince to invite him in person."

"My majesty, this matter must never happen. The crown prince is young and not suitable for trekking. Moreover, the crown prince has a high status. If something happens along the way, the old minister will become a sinner through the ages."

I don't know hearing the emperor's tone, I was taken aback, stood up directly, bowed,
"Although I am old, if the emperor can trust me, I am willing to make a trip."

"I have nothing to worry about if the Tai Tuo can go in person, but I still hope that the Tai Tuo will bring the prince with him. Firstly, he will not delay his studies, and secondly, he will show his sincerity and let Meng Daxian personally test him. If the prince is not smart enough, he will not be able to enter. Meng Daxian's eyes, if you try it yourself, you will have no regrets."

As Han Jing said, he glanced at Bai Ningxiang, "The prince will gain a lot of knowledge along the way. Of course, in terms of safety, I will ask the Seventh Prince to accompany me."

"What the emperor said is very true. I also feel that the prince must go there in person. It would be great to have the grand tutor accompany you, browse the vast mountains and rivers, understand the local customs and invite people, and have the right to experience it."

Master Wen: "..."

He figured it out, and the couple would sing the oboe with him again.

Even so, he also felt that such an arrangement was not bad. The prince was young, so it would be good to accumulate more knowledge and knowledge.

"The old minister complies with the order. The old minister is willing to take the prince to go, but I also ask the emperor for permission, and travel lightly, don't be too ostentatious."

The crown prince is the future of the country, so he can't be careless, even if he goes in a low-key way, he still has to sweat.

"It's natural."

"The Grand Tutor is making preparations first, and it will not be too late to leave after the March Three Flower Banquet is over, but this matter is kept secret and must not be disclosed."

Bai Ningxiang thought for a while, the flower banquet was held in the imperial garden, the crown prince would definitely show up that day, otherwise it would cause unnecessary trouble if asked about it.

"Just follow the emperor's orders."

After Wen Taifu left, Han Jing and Bai Ningxiang looked at each other and smiled,
"Tomorrow morning, I will propose to introduce the world's most knowledgeable people to Beijing for selection and assessment. By the way, add some newcomers to the Hanlin Academy, Taixue, and Guangwen, so that those aristocratic families will know that the selection of talents by the imperial court does not rely entirely on the recommendation of the clan. .”

"Under the leadership of the emperor, the imperial court will surely be prosperous like never before." Seeing the emperor's happy expression, Bai Ningxiang praised without hesitation.

The two chatted for a while, and Bai Ningxiang mentioned to him about the flower banquet by the way, if you have time, you can also show up.

It doesn't matter if you don't show up, the March Three Flower Feast, as the name suggests, is a woman's event.

In addition to the party, it is also a blind date meeting for the wives of each family. The noble daughter of whose family has just grown up and the son of the family has learned a lot. A good son-in-law.

On the day of the flower banquet, the wives entered the palace early with their noble daughters of appropriate age.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the imperial garden was full of warblers and swallows, laughing and laughing, and the noble ladies wandered in the imperial garden, as brilliant as a hundred flowers blooming, accompanied by rings and jingle bells, people are more delicate than flowers, and the flowers are delicate and beautiful .

Bai Ningxiang still followed several familiar and close wives, like Mrs. Lou, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Lu and so on.

"Looking at this noble lady in the imperial garden, we are really old." Mrs. Lou walked beside Mrs. Lu and chuckled.

"We're just a foil, so we just need to get used to it. Looking at them, they are so delicate and charming, the eyes are comfortable." Mrs. Lu supported the beaded flowers on her temples, and smiled heartily.
