Later, the younger sister married Chen Zhaoming and gave birth to a baby boy, so she quit the management of the fund. In addition to assisting in running companies and banks, she studied mathematics and physics at the Royal Institute of Technology, taught teachings, and no longer interfered with royal affairs.

After Empress Dowager Cao fell ill, the foundation was nominally jointly managed by Gao Taotao and Empress Xiang, but in fact Gao Taotao had sole power.

As the emperor's younger brother, Zhao Hao wanted to divorce his wife. Instead of going directly to the emperor's brother, he went to ask his own mother to step in and order him. This made Zhao Xu very annoying.

How crazy does Princess Feng have to be to want to burn you to death?! And why do you still meet a mother who is so arrogant about such an obvious thing?!

Zhao Xu had long known that his two brothers were not getting along, and he also knew that his sister-in-law, Feng, must have been falsely accused by the left and right.

Then he ordered the minister Zheng Mu to re-interrogate the two maids in the Imperial City Department. After finding out that the accusation was false, he ordered Yishan Feng Hao to record the whole story, and then summoned Princess Feng.

Princess Feng was so frightened when she received the edict that she wanted to commit suicide. Zhao Xu specially asked the messenger to tell his sister-in-law that you are not guilty and don't be afraid.

He also secretly gave Princess Feng some advice, you go directly to the Queen Mother’s palace and wait, your mother-in-law is very powerful, hey, it’s a pity that she’s on top, and she’s there too!

The Empress Dowager is the successor of Song Renzong, the heir-mother of Yingzong, and Gao Taotao's biological aunt and mother-in-law!

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager comforted the innocent Feng with kind words and told her not to be afraid.

Then Zhao Xu invited his mother and together they came to the palace of the Empress Dowager.

Gao Taotao was still unwilling to give up. When he saw his daughter-in-law, he questioned her about the arson case. Princess Feng cried and kowtowed to apologize, saying that she did not set the fire. She also said that she was a young girl and was not lucky enough to match His Highness Prince Qi.

Begging to be shaved off and become a nun.

Seeing her daughter-in-law, who was so frightened that she asked her to become a monk, the poisonous mother-in-law asked her daughter-in-law maliciously if she had ever cursed her son Zhao Hao. Ms. Feng also honestly said that she had indeed cursed when their husband and wife were not getting along in the past.

.

In fact, the reason why Gao Taotao did this was very simple, that is, to exonerate his son and exempt Zhao Hao from punishment.

In all dynasties, palace fires were a serious crime. Zhao Yuanzuo, the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, was deposed as a commoner because of a fire in the palace where he lived. His father thought that he was crazy and set the fire.

Zhao Yuanzuo's younger brother Zhao Yuanyan was also demoted to the end of the palace due to a fire in the palace and lived outside the palace.

That's right... living outside the palace is the key point.

Gao Taotao's purpose was to force Zhao Xu not to follow the example of his ancestors and deal with his younger brother.

Zhao Xu naturally understood and was helpless. However, he was an emperor above the standard. He did not let the innocent Feng become a victim, nor did he let Zhao Hao be punished for this incident. He still kept him in the ban and pretended to be a tiger.

After punishing Zhao Hao's wet nurse and two beloved concubines, Zhao Xu ordered Princess Feng to be sent to the Yaohua Palace where the criminal clan daughter-in-law was guarded, and she became a monk.

Although Feng was a Taoist, she did not actually become a monk. Shenzong specifically raised the princess's monthly salary to fifty guans, and comforted Feng, saying that when King Qi figured it out, he would let Zhao Hao take her home.

At this point, Zhao Hao and his wife are officially separated.

Even if the matter was settled like this, one can imagine the depression in Zhao Xu's heart.

It wasn't until he saw more than 600 Jinshi writing in the palace that Zhao Xu felt better. In the past two years, the Song Dynasty finally began to show some improvement, and it also began to expand externally. It is said that if the west is not bright, the south is bright. The new Song Dynasty

Not counting discovery, there are four more roads in Jiaozhi alone, plus half a strait.

Thinking of this, I thought that Jiaozhi County also sent more than a dozen candidates this time.

Most of them were soy sauce gangsters, but two of them had heard that they were good, and their rankings for Jinshi were in the upper reaches, so they casually patrolled the palace.

Scholars in Jiaozhi County are not difficult to find, just look at the edges of their boots and belts.

In order to cheer up the scholars in Jiaozhi County, Su You presented a complete set of instructions for going to Beijing, just like the Dali Xuanxiang Prefect gave himself a gift. He prepared a complete set of equipment for the scholars, including clothes, boots, pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

, and each person was given ten guan of money.

Therefore, the soles of the boots of Jiaozhi scholars are made of vulcanized rubber, which are high-end products that are rainproof and waterproof. They are shaped like beef tendons and are called "beef tendon soles".

Zhao Xu wears it himself, so of course he knows him.

There is also the belt. Tortoiseshell and rhinoceros horn were high-end goods in the Song Dynasty, and this was also the case in Jiaozhi County. Therefore, even though it was just the Jiaozhi Juren, the belts Su You gave them were also decorated with tortoiseshell and rhinoceros horns.

Coupled with the fact that the price of the jade ring has not yet risen, this identity can be seen at a glance.

Yang Shi has forgotten the environment he is in and is analyzing the test questions carefully.

After arriving in the Song Dynasty, he followed Su You's instructions and kept a low profile. Apart from doing exam questions, he didn't even have to make friends.

Fortunately, there are all talented people in Songyang Academy, and he has benefited a lot from discussing with Shao Bowen and others.

There are many ways to interpret a line of poetry. Only by figuring out the examiner's original intention of asking this question can you get a better ranking.

Confucius and Lu people spoke Lu dialect every day. However, these three people must speak elegantly.

Why? There are many explanations.

The first is "respecting the correctness". "Four Books Research on Variations": "In ancient times, when learning etiquette and performing etiquette, there were edicts and praisers to promote it, so that there would be no mistakes. Just like today's praise officials, their books are like today's etiquette notes."

If you don't speak correctly, you may make things wrong, so you must speak elegantly."

Going a little deeper, Zheng Kangcheng said: "When reading the laws of the former kings, you must speak the pronunciation correctly and then make the meaning complete, so you can't hide anything. If you don't recite the etiquette, you will stick to the words."

The second understanding is "understanding".

"The Analects of Confucius is Zhengyi" said: "The Western Capital of the Zhou Dynasty should be correct with the sound of the Western Capital. King Ping moved eastward and followed other countries, but his sound could not be correct for the world, so he surrendered and called it "Feng". And the elegant sound of the Western Capital,

Therefore, it has not been exhausted or abolished. Master, when reading the "Yi", "Poems" and "Books", and performing rituals, he always uses elegant language, and then the words are clear and meaningful."

"The Analects of Confucius Pianzhi" says: "The same goes for the elegance of "Poetry". The pronunciation of the capital is the most correct, so it is named 'Ya'; the pronunciation of other countries is not completely correct, so it is named 'Feng'. The reason why the king

For the princes of the Fu State, the seven-year-old belongs to Xiangxu, and he can give orders and give orders; the nine-year-old belongs to Gu Shi, and he can listen to the names of books and listen to the sound. Being in the dynasty and reaching the country of the princes is called elegant speech. Elegance is the speech.

Xia Ye."

Once you understand this level, this test question becomes a bit interesting.

Yayan, the hidden meaning, is the representative and symbol of advanced culture.

The examiner's intention should be to let the candidates explain the superiority and advancement of Chinese civilization in this era, and then explain how to "correct it in the dynasty and reach the kingdoms of vassals."

Combined with the recent situation in Jiaozhi and Champa, this question has obvious pertinent significance.

Yang Shi was so happy. Apart from himself and Li Shidao, who else in the whole palace understood this the most?!

Swish, swish, swish and write:

The Holy Sect takes civilization as its teachings, poetry and books as rituals, and it is also the study of civilization.

"Poetry" is about governing one's temperament, which is the study of enlightening virtue; "Book" is about Taoism and political affairs, which is the study of new people; "Li" is about regulating sight, hearing, speaking, and moving, restraining oneself and restoring etiquette, and is the study of perfection.

If you don't talk about poetry, you can't teach others; if you don't talk about etiquette, you can't make clear distinctions. Therefore, what you say elegantly is called poetry and books. What you insist on but dare not discuss is called etiquette.

Etiquette means stopping. If your thoughts are innocent, your heart will be right. If you accept it, then the world will be at peace. If you move your face and practice etiquette, then you will have perfect sage virtue.

Confucius said: "If someone could use me, would I be the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhao Xu stood next to this Jiaozhi scholar, looking at this paragraph of text, he couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart, and nodded as he wrote.

It is rare that Jiaozhi County can produce such talents.

After Yang Shi finished writing this paragraph, he felt that he had completely mastered the test questions. The next step was to explain the extension of its advanced nature and the method of dissemination.

I don’t know if Li Wensheng has grasped this level. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look up.

Only then did he realize that a man in his early thirties, dressed simply, had been standing in front of him looking at him for some time.

Yang Shi was startled. He remembered what Su You had told them about the situation in the imperial examination. He quickly put down his pen, bowed and saluted, and whispered: "I have met Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu didn't know who he was, so he thought that if he could write such a text, it would be no problem for a commander-in-chief. This person was most likely Li Wensheng.

Then he nodded and said: "The truth is very clear. I was fascinated by it for a while. I don't want to disturb you. You can continue writing."

After that, he went to inspect the next table.
