Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

Returning to Xinyun Palace, Wan Niang saw her mother's expression was calm and there was no one around. After hesitation, Wan Niang said, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Hua Yue shook her head and asked Wan Niang: "You have been in the palace for several years, but do you have any close friends?"

Although she didn't understand why her mother asked this question, Wan Niang still replied: "The second prince is one, the fourth son of Du Shangshu's family is also one, and the youngest daughter of Ji Hanlin's family is also... However, the one with the best relationship is still

My uncle’s cousin Zhou Shang.”

When Hua Yue heard this, she asked with interest: "I have seen Zhou Shang too. He is strict and upright in his work, but he doesn't know how to adapt. How did you become a good friend with him?"

Wan Niang: "He once made a bet with me and lost to me. As for how to become friends...the men, women, and children in this Liang City, no matter how they live, everyone wears a mask, says things that go against their will, and does things that go against their will.

Things. Only the stupid brother of my uncle’s family, who treats others with sincerity and keeps his promises regardless of personal gains and losses, seems to have some of the demeanor of my father..."

When Hua Yue heard this, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "How could you talk about your father like that?"

Wan Niang: "Although Zhou Shang is straightforward, he is capable and capable of doing things well. In addition, his uncle Zhou Ze is now the minister of Dongtai Province, and his aunt Yu is very popular among the nobles in Liangcheng.

The queen is a close friend in the boudoir. If we can have a good relationship with them, we can resolve conflicts in the palace in the future."

Hua Yue: "Have a good relationship with them? Can we resolve conflicts?"

Wan Niang: "Aniang, do you think I don't know? My father's pampering of you has already caused the queen's dissatisfaction. My mother is originally from a foreigner and has no relatives when she comes to the Tang Dynasty. If you try to compete for favors at this time, you will only increase your father's disciples."

Feeling bad will not help at all. The most important thing now is not to rush to the front and serve as a pawn for others, but to find a way to ease the relationship with the Queen and work on it slowly in the future."

Huayue looked surprised when she heard this.

Seeing this, Wan Niang said proudly: "Just now, although I was accompanying you, my ears were always perked up. Xie Jieyu said so much, but in the end, she still encouraged my mother to go to the top. But at the moment, my mother is in the harem.

, the foundation is not yet stable, we should still make a wide network of contacts instead of making enemies casually."

Huayue: "You are still young, where did you learn these calculations?"

Wan Niang: "Have you forgotten that when I was a child in Dashi, I didn't see any storms, assassinations, betrayals, and conspiracies? There are too many. How is it different from this palace?"

Hearing this, Hua Yue sighed deeply.

In the outer courtyard of Xuanwen Prison, Lu Lun was facing the mountain of work in front of him and had a splitting headache.

Since taking over the responsibility of compulsory education, Xuanwen Supervisory Hospital has not only been responsible for teaching materials, but also for promotion, and also for solving doubts. There are not enough manpower in the first place, but there are not many people who can do things.

Lu Lun stood up, looked around, and then asked his colleagues around him: "Where are the civil servants in the department who are engaged in liaison?"

The colleague yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said to Lu Lun: "The banished immortal held a banquet next to Zhanyu Lake to entertain the literati from Liangcheng and nearby counties. Many literati went to accompany the banquet."

Hearing the words of his colleagues, Lu Lun held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "The Holy Father has explained the matter of compulsory education. Although the teaching materials have been issued, many local official schools are doing so in a shady manner due to various reasons... In order to deal with this matter, we are all

How can Shangguan only focus on having fun when he is so busy?"

After speaking, Lu Lun ignored the dissuasion of others, took the document, walked out of the official office, and walked towards Zhanyu Lake.

Before reaching the lake, Lu Lun heard music and laughter.

When I got closer and took a closer look, I saw Li Bai, who had white hair and beard, lying on a big stone with his chest open, holding a wine glass in his hand, and chanted to the guests at the banquet: "If I don't see the flowers drinking wine in the past, I won't know where I am in the world when I look back..."

…”

Amidst the laughter and laughter, Lu Lun stood on the periphery of the crowd holding a stack of books. He wanted to step forward and say something, but he hesitated in his heart.

For a moment, it was neither possible to stay nor to leave.

After a while, Li Bai finished drinking wine and reciting poems, leaving the guests to enjoy themselves and left the banquet alone.

Seeing this, Lu Lun quickly chased after him and said to Li Bai: "Li Hanlin, Xuanwen has taken charge of the national education..."

Li Bai burped and looked at Lu Lun with drunken eyes: "I know, so what?"

Lu Lun took a deep breath and bravely said: "Everything in the prison is complicated, and the manpower is insufficient. Li Hanlin held a large banquet, and all the civil servants went with you to the banquet. There are really not enough people in the department who can do things.

"

After saying this, Lu Lun lowered his head, originally thinking that Li Bai would be angry.

Unexpectedly, the latter just smiled and said to Lu Lun: "I originally guessed which principal should come to question me, but I didn't expect that it was you who came to tell me about this."

Although Lu Lun had a good temper, he was also young and energetic. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but reply: "Li Hanlin's reputation is as famous as thunder in the Tang Dynasty. Lu's reputation is unparalleled.

However, the Holy One decreed that Supervisor Xuanwen should deal with education matters. Although Lu has a low official position, he does not dare to forget His grace!"

When Li Bai heard this, he burst out laughing. He patted Lu Lun on the shoulder and shook his head and said, "You kid, couldn't you tell that I was praising you just now?"

Lu Lun was stunned.

Li Bai: "The chiefs and supervisors in the prison are all sophisticated and tactful, and do not want to offend me, so they treat the banquet as invisible, and just keep ordering their civil servants to promote compulsory education as soon as possible.

I was thinking about it when I was holding a cultural banquet, and I don't know if there is anyone in prison who has such courage and can come to me to give me some advice."

Lu Lun was a little surprised by Li Bai's words, but after thinking about it, he asked again: "Since Li Hanlin knew that at this juncture, the banquet was opposed by others and was not conducive to the prison's ministry, why did he insist on holding a banquet?

?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Bai patted his chest, burped again, then looked at Lu Lun and asked: "It is indeed good that Wenyan is opposed by others, but it is not good for the work in prison.

I never said anything about it."

Lu Lun was a little confused: "Having a big banquet in the prison not only costs a lot of money, but also takes up a lot of manpower. How can it be beneficial to the ministry in the prison?"

Li Bai: "Let me ask you, what is the most important thing for Xuanwen Supervisor at the moment?"

Lu Lun: "Since the Xuanwen Museum was ordered to implement compulsory education, the biggest trouble has been to implement this policy in prefectures and counties across the country. First, because the official schools in prefectures and counties are not willing to accept children from poor families.

The government is also unwilling to fund the expansion of private schools; secondly, many families in prefectures and counties have outdated ideas and regard their children as laborers at home and do not want them to attend private schools and delay farm work."

Li Bai nodded and then asked: "Do you know who are coming to the banquet today?"

When Lu Lun heard this question, he was stunned for a moment.

Li Bai: "Today's guests are all from nearby states and counties. Some are famous scholars, graduates, supervisors, etc., some are local literary figures or masters, and some are squires from the surrounding villages.

, Li Zhenghe County School.”

When Lu Lun heard this, he was surprised.

Li Bai smiled and said: "Now you understand? These people are the best helpers for the imperial court to implement compulsory education. Most of these scholars come from poor families. They can not only negotiate with the government by virtue of their fame, but also speak out and persuade the people to send their children to school.

; Those literary leaders in the local area not only have literary societies, but also study parties, with members and students scattered in every corner of the state and county. A word they say is often more useful than a decree issued by the court; as for those squires,

Lizhenghe County School is even more critical for compulsory education, as they can directly participate in the construction of local education."

Lu Lun finally realized his mistake, looked ashamed, and bowed to Li Bai to apologize.

Li Bai waved his hand: "What I value is your sincerity, so why are you guilty? Besides, this idea of ​​a banquet was not what I had in mind."

Lu Lun: "Who is that...?"

Li Bai: "It was Zimei who came to tell me... I knew that he couldn't think of such an idea, so he asked whose idea it was. Du Fu couldn't stand it, so he could only tell the truth. It turned out that through

In spite of my reputation, the idea of ​​holding a cultural banquet to encourage learning came from Prime Minister Zuo."

Lu Lun: "Left Prime Minister? But Gao Shidafu?"

Li Bai: "Other than him, who else...Although I don't deal with the left prime minister, this is a good idea, so I adopted it."
