Chapter 36: Hand talk about virtue, the unsolved connection

The Cold Food Festival is here.

This was an important festival in the Tang Dynasty, and even all officials had three days off.

Li Wei went to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War and read the official documents. Of course, it was not the officials on holiday, but the yamen of the three provinces and six departments were empty. There were still many officers and soldiers guarding him. However, the crown prince wanted to go in and take a look, and no one dared to stop him.

In fact, Li Wei deliberately waited for the day to come.

After walking around, he saw that there was no one around and said to Bier: "Come and make a cup of tea for Gu."

Bier turned around and left to prepare tea. Li Wei quickly stamped the fake seal. Because he wanted to run away, he took a look at the system of the past checkpoints. The system was necessary, but he made a mistake. It was not sponsored by the Ministry of Revenue, but the department headed the verdict of the Criminal Department of the Shangshu Province. The local government was the Cao army headed the verdict and consulted the military to judge the verdict, which was very complicated.

Of course, he couldn't even figure out who Dai Zhide was, and this even more unpopular process.

In fact, the former is rarely used, and generally it is impossible to ask the central government for instructions when passing the checkpoint. The pass level sentenced by the chief of the criminal department is quite like Guan Yun’s long green dragon and a moon knife slaughtering a chicken. But with this pass, you can pretend to be a Korean, a Japanese, or other races with similar appearances to the Central Plains people, and enter and exit the border!

This made him very ashamed. Don’t think that if you put it on the prince, you will do something immediately. Like him, you should learn ancient scriptures, at least you should not be much different from Li Hong. This is based on some ancient Chinese literature. If you don’t, you don’t even know how to write traditional Chinese, you will have to look at it.

For example, the government agencies of the Tang Dynasty. I often don’t know whether I closed my position. Fortunately, I was low-key and did not bring it out to show off. Besides, I took it for granted. I reacted quickly that day and talked about the absent-mindedness. Otherwise, there would be several Taoist monks in the East Palace who would have begun to exorcise demons and demons.

Then he returned to the East Palace with a lot of maps. You have to look at this slowly. There are many maps across the country, and the terrain is different from those of later generations. If you want to run away, you must write them down. But it is impossible to remember all the maps in your mind at once. Not only the maps of the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, but also the maps of Tuyuhun and the Western Regions were moved out by Li Wei.

He is gentle and slow in nature. This is the advantage of being more careful in doing things.

After making a record, his expression was normal. Even Di Renjie was here, and he didn't expect any plans he would have.

I had more than twenty faked places in my arms, so I was prepared for any trouble. I was determined to go away. I was absolutely forbidden to run away. I didn’t have the power of Xue Rengui, and I might not be able to speak, and I might not have a happy life. But it was better than those who died inexplicably. With a way out, I would have confidence in my heart.

There were a lot of pictures, so I called a soldier and asked him to share the burden. The three of them moved the pictures onto the carriage and returned to the East Palace. I saw Du Juan looking at the swallow nest under the eaves with a few little palace maids, and saw Li Wei getting off the carriage and bowing to his waist.

"All quit, what are you watching?"

"Your Highness, this pair of little swallows is very strange today. Only Da Hei comes down to find food. Xiao Hei stays in the nest and never comes out."

"Oh, let's take a look."

Big Hei Xiao Hei is the palace maids in the inner palace. They are named according to their size. Li Wei guessed that Big Hei might be a male swallow, and Xiao Hei is a female swallow, but he is not very clear. After looking at it for a while, Bier asked worriedly: "Will Xiao Hei have something to do?"

Li Wei said, Swallow is loyal to the Lord, Swallow Bier in the world doesn’t care, but this pair of Swallow is Li Wei, who is very concerned about it.

"Don't worry, Xiao Hei lays eggs, so he stays in the nest. Seeing that Da Hei doesn't have it, it holds food, doesn't eat it, but is flying into the nest. This is feeding Xiao Hei."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hei saw Da Hei come back with a bug, sticking out his head from the nest, chirping.

All the palace maids cheered.

It was very lonely to stay in the deep palace. At first, it was to curry favor with Li Wei, but later it gradually became a relationship.

"Your Highness, it's great. There will be a group of little swallows soon."

Li Wei nodded. The swallows hatched quickly, as if they had more than one nest a year.

After the cheers, Du Juan remembered the serious business and reported: "Xi Sheren of Xitai is waiting for His Highness in the hall."

I came to the door? I thought so in my heart, but I dare not disrespect him. Don’t say that he is here, even if his father has not committed a serious crime, he cannot easily humiliate him. Moreover, Xu Qidan once served as a bachelor of Chongwenguan, also served as a lecturer of Li Hong, and taught literature. It is equivalent to his true teacher.

He walked in, flexed his sleeves and said, "I have met Xu Sheren."

"I dare not, I will meet your highness."

The two sat down and Xu Qidan said, "On today's vacation, I happened to hear Your Highness talk with General Liu, and asked General Liu to abandon his son and admit defeat. I also had a good conversation. I can't help but have some skills. I wonder if Your Highness can accompany you?"

Li Wei had nothing to do with him, but it turned out that Li Hong was very close to him. Every time he saw him, Xu Qidan looked at him intimately. Therefore, it was not abrupt to find the prince to play chess.

He bowed his hand and said, "That was General Liu who gave in to Yu Gu. Since Liu Sheren proposed to talk, how dare you not accompany him?"

With a wave of his hand, Bier asked him to take out the chessboard and chess pieces.

The two began to arrange troops on the chessboard. In terms of chess power, Xu Qidan's chess power was far greater than Liu Rengui. Similarly, it was deeper than Li Wei. But it was no wonder that the trend of playing chess gentlemen was prevalent at this time. It was once very undespicable in the Han Dynasty. After being promoted by Cao Cao and others, it gradually became popular in the Jin Dynasty. Like those who played later, they never appeared at this time.

Xu Qidan took one step at a time. When Li Wei saw that something was wrong, he began to be scoundrel. As the chess pieces were more and more, they were arranged with big disasters and small disasters.

"Crown Prince," Xu Qidan looked at the chaotic situation on the chessboard, scratched his head and said, "Is there such a trick?"

He is not Liu Rengui, so he said directly that you have no gentlemanly style of a deceased person, so he had to change his words.

"Is there any rules to talk about if you are not allowed to do so?"

"No?"

"That's it," Li Wei smiled sly. Xu Qidan had a headache. He also had a headache. After saying that, he left another son. As this son fell, another new small disaster formed. This disaster was connected to the other two disasters, which was directly related to the life and death of a big dragon on the left. Xu Qidan had to fall into the long examination. After half a day, he carefully left another son. Li Wei then made another son and made another disaster on the right.

The two sons fell, and Xu Qidan's chess piece had the advantage, but in the blink of an eye it became a disadvantage. Xu Qidan was helpless. After thinking about it, he began to give up his gentleman spirit and fought against Li Wei. For a moment, the murderous aura on the chessboard was covered with dark clouds. After all, Xu Qidan had a deep skill and his son won by chance.

But after counting the pieces, Xu Qidan was already sweating profusely. This game of talk was even more difficult than meeting the emperor and the queen. When the wind blew, he suddenly woke up and pushed the chess piece, saying, "Prince, this time the talk was a big deal."

“Why?”

"I lost my humility and rushing spirit."

Li Wei was a little dizzy. He played chess all his life in his previous life, and he was always this chess style. He didn't see that he was too irritable or scoundrel. Just like Cao Cao said that he could understand the principles of marching, take it seriously, and brought Nie Weiping, Ma Xiaochun and others to the Tang Dynasty to lead the army to fight. It depends on whether he could fight well. Don't deal with the Tubo people. Even if he deals with the Goryeo people, he might not be able to win. But people in this era like to be far-fetched. Liu Rengui is a military general, it doesn't matter. Xu Qidan is a Confucian minister, so he is naturally not used to it.

But he didn't want to raise this stick. He understood how a great scholar was at this time. Although he had good lip service, he might not be his opponents in terms of subtle meaning, Tao Te Ching and other magic horses. He said with a smile: "Xu Sheren, who is lonely and has absent-minded disease, can remember some things, but some things cannot be remembered. The style of talking about hands may also change."

"Your Highness, I have something I don't know if I should say it."

"Please say it."

"The first lord said that do not do good deeds because they are small, and do not do evil deeds because they are small. Therefore, the beginning of the Analects of Confucius is "Study and Learn", which not only studies, but also learns the behavior of a gentleman, learns filial piety and benevolence."

This is also a fact. The first sentence is to learn and practice it from time to time. Isn’t it a saying? Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? People don’t know but are not angry, aren’t it a gentleman? The second sentence is a person... A gentleman is a foundation, and his foundation is established and his way is born. Filial piety and brotherhood are the foundation of benevolence. This article "Study" not only discusses learning, but also discusses the filial piety, benevolence and morality of a gentleman. It also uses Zigong's words to express gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility.

It's just a game of chess, but when talking about the principles of scriptures, I knew I was defeated, so I never said anything. I heard him continue to say: "Your Highness, although you are kind and famous all over the world, you have to keep your arrogance and impetuousness. This style of chess has lost the virtues of benevolence, humility, gentleness, kindness and respect. Alas, even the ministers have fallen into the devil's way."

The devil also came out, smiled and said erraticly: "Xu Sheren, I have recorded it."

Fortunately, Xu Qidan is not too rigid. Since the prince admits his mistake, the prince is indeed doing a good job and has not been bothered anymore. He said, "I have something to ask for inquiries when I come."

"What's the matter?"

"Yesterday, my little girl met the prince in East City, right?"

“That’s right.”

"The little girl is naughty, the prince must not take it to heart."

"No, I feel that Miss Xu is innocent and lively, and very talented." Yang Li left a bad impression on Li Wei, but she thought that this little pepper was naughty. After all, she was only a half-aged child. Besides, he had nothing to do with this Miss Xu, but was just a chance meeting.

"I am still ashamed and uneasy. But the prince, what is the next sentence?" When he went back, Xu Li said the incident in a concealed manner. After scolding his daughter first, he immediately thought about it. He was so impressed that he still didn't come up with the answer. But he didn't come for the answer, nor for the next game of Go. But he looked at the prince's expression and see what Li Wei's attitude towards his daughter.

"That was a quatrain that Gu thought of when he was out by chance, but he couldn't think of the next one. Yesterday, I didn't know that Xu Xiaozi was a daughter, but she wanted to enter the East Palace. But Gu heard it and asked her why she entered the East Palace. She didn't answer, so she made a prank. Xu Sheren was just a couplet. The people of the country are the main business. It's better to have an answer, but no answer, it doesn't hinder anything."

"You didn't come up with the answer?" Xu Qidan was a little disappointed.

Not only me, but I don’t know how many billions of people have passed since ancient times, but there is no perfect answer. I shook my head and asked, “Why did Miss Xu go to the East Palace?”

Xu Qidan was stunned by a sentence. He also asked his daughter, but his daughter refused to answer. So he forced Yan'er to ask Yan'er, and Yan'er told him the answer, saying that the reason why Xu Li thought of the East Palace was because she had heard a lot of rumors about the prince. So she became curious about the prince and wanted to sneak into the East Palace to see what the prince looked like. This matter was too ridiculous, and she scolded her daughter. But in general, she was still very satisfied with his children. If her daughter doesn't mention it, her youngest son Xu Jian was even more amazing. She has read a lot of books since she was a child. Last year, Prince Li Xian of Pei heard about his name and gave him a piece of paper and wrote a poem. At this time, Xu Jian was only eleven years old!

But this sentence is not easy to say. She can't say that she thinks of the East Palace, just to see if you have four eyes and two noses.

His face turned red.

Is it a secret? Although I was very curious, I finally asked without any further questions, and said, "It's a joke. If Mrs. Xu wants to go to the East Palace to see it, Xu Sheren will take her to the East Palace."

"That's the little girl who makes trouble. I don't know, I'll forget it. I know how to allow her to make trouble." Xu Qidan immediately said seriously.

After walking out of the East Palace, because it was a vacation, the streets were deserted and Xu Qidan couldn't help but think about his thoughts.

In the words of the prince, he also liked his daughter three times. Of course, this love is different from that love. This is a good omen, but the prince...
