Chapter 252 Shortcuts (continued)

In the backyard of the Xiyang Prince's Mansion, Yuwen Weihan was excited to tell Yang Lihua about his experience just now. As a concubine's son, he could only call his mother "Anime", and his biological mother was "Auntie".

This is ethics. Even though Yuwen Weihan knew what was going on when he grew up, he could only recognize his mother as his mother in public.

So his grandfather was Yuchi Shun, Duke of the Kingdom of China, rather than Yang Jian who had passed away. Of course, it was impossible for Yang Lihua to tell her son about this. After all, she was childless. Once the news leaked, it would be a beheading disaster.

Yang Lihua and Yuwen Wen were together purely. If there was no such relationship, after the Zhou army attacked Chang'an again, as the former Empress Dowager of Zhou and the Princess of Sui, she would not have had the chance to survive for her younger brother Yang Guang.

Yuwen Weihan is eight years old this year. If he is considered nine years old, he has never experienced any big scenes. When talking about his experience just now, he is confused.

What are the things like "there are many people, wearing red and green", "Many people hold many wooden sticks, and there are shovels at the top of the stick, forks and gourds." Anyway, from the perspective of children, Yuwen Weihan felt that the scene of "retrieving paper" just now was very fun.

The "leftover paper" had many patterns on the cover, which was very beautiful. Yuwen Weihan thought about waiting for Aye to come back and begged Aye to play with him.

"That thing cannot be played."

"Oh...when will Aye come back? And Ah Niang? Where is Jilang?"

"It's almost done, I'll be back after the New Year at the latest."

Yang Lihua stroked her son's head and said, "Although my son is young, he has been babbling and talking about his experiences just now, it's not easy to finish everything from beginning to end."

The eight or nine-year-old boy suddenly reminded her of her concubine Yuwen Chan and the past. At that time, she was the Empress Tianyuan and her parents and brothers were alive.

The past is gone. As the eldest girl of the Yang family, she has done her best to protect her father's bloodline and her daughter has been married. Her husband's family is Jingzhao Wei. Next is to raise children and raise her younger brother's son to adulthood.

Yuwen Weihan was talking, and his younger brother and sister begging him to play. Yang Lihua asked Liu Ye to take the little guys out to play, while she started talking to Xiao Jiuniang who was sitting beside her.

Today, an angel went to the royal palace to announce an edict. Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang were side rooms, and they were not a foreign wife, so they were not qualified to bow to the imperial edict. This is a good thing, because once she appears, she may be recognized and will be troublesome.

According to Li Sanjiu, among the officials who accompanied the angel to the royal palace, Xiao Zuogong Bo Yu Culture and Yang Lihua remembered this person. Of course, that happened nearly ten years ago.

She was also the queen and the queen mother at that time. She had met Yu Wenhua, who entered the palace guards. Her younger brother Yu Wen Zhiji, who had a lawsuit with Yu Wen Wen in the Lobby of Qiu's government, was also present to listen to the scene and left.

Yu Wenhua and I don’t know whether she remembers her, but no matter what, Yang Lihua must fade out of others’ sight as much as possible, without a royal decree, and become the best amulet.

Unless Yuwen Wen asked her to come out to meet people, Yang Lihua only needed to stay in the backyard, and outsiders would not see her true face. Of course, Xiao Jiuniang didn't know Yang Lihua's life experience.

The fewer people know about secrets, the lower the possibility of leaking them.

Xiao Jiuniang was talking to Yang Lihua at this time about the imperial edict. They had learned that their husband was carrying a thorn to the emperor in Xuanhu. For example, today, the son issued an edict to pardon the princess and prince's crimes. In this way, the people in the mansion were determined.

The prince was actually promoted to the emperor, which was something that no one in the royal palace had expected. In the current situation, the prince was a pseudo-emperor and the princess became a ruthless person. If there was no formal statement, no one knew what to do.

Now, the emperor issued an edict to pardon the crime of traitor. The princess is still the princess, and the prince is still the prince. Everything is the same, and he is not afraid of others being gossiped about. Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang have no thoughts other than that.

As a concubine, even if the wife is divorced, it is not their turn to take over, because the concubine can never be "reformed". No matter how much the husband loves them, he can only marry them with a formal marriage.

There was such a big change in the mansion. The king and the princess were not there, so Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang took on the heavy responsibility. Not only did they have to manage the industry and internal affairs, but they also had to take care of the little guys. The burden on their shoulders was very heavy, so they often discussed how to maintain the normal operation of the mansion.

The emperor is in Xiyang and there are many entourages. In order to avoid trouble, Yang Lihua decided not to leave the mansion, and Xiao Jiuniang also tried to avoid going out as little as possible to avoid any trouble.

Yuwen Wen is not in Xiyang, but Yu Wenming is here, and no one dares to bully the people in the Xiyang Palace. However, it is better to have less than more things. They are outstanding women and cannot give people with ulterior motives opportunities, so as not to be spread rumors by villains and throw sewage to achieve their unspeakable goals.

Yu Wen Wen is now trapped in Xuanhu, not knowing how safe it is. The two of them are worried about this. Now they are approaching the end of the year. Not to mention the many things, the various industries in the mansion need to be reconciled, and they still have to be responsible for checking them.

The housekeeper Li Sanjiu brought the managers into the room and waited for instructions. Yang Lihua took out a thick stack of paper and began to arrange various matters with Xiao Jiuniang.

"The end of the year is approaching, and the affairs are complicated, but no matter how busy you are, you must follow the rules and regulations. Don't think about taking shortcuts. If I find someone fooling around, I will be punished severely!"

......

The lecture hall was as crowded as before, but the atmosphere was much more serious. Today, the emperor came to the study of the great scholars here, and met with all the well-educated scholars and young students.

This is an extremely rare opportunity, and no one dares to be rude.

Thanks to the gathering of famous scholars and great scholars of the classics such as "Er Liu" and the gathering of Xiyang and the large number of publications of "Xiyang Monthly", Huangzhou Prefecture School has become increasingly famous and attracted more and more well-educated scholars and students.

The scale of state education has expanded a lot, with a wide range of school buildings and school museums, which can accommodate more scholars to give lectures, and allow more scholars to spend a low cost to stay in state education.

There is an all-night reading room with eternal lanterns, a library with rich collections of books, and public classes from famous teachers that can be attended for free. Huangzhou Prefecture is becoming more and more attractive, and more and more people are rushing to Xiyang, Huangzhou to study.

The original intention of the students is to take advantage of the fact that famous teachers in the state are learning more knowledge. For those who are well-educated, it is a good idea to go to Huangzhou to learn to teach and get rich "shuo Xiu", charge "paper fees" for proofreading books in the bookstore, and to discuss academics with fellow students. This is really a good idea to have the best of both worlds.

But no one expected that there would be a god-given opportunity to appear in front of him.

In the Zhou strife, the emperor came to Shannan. It seemed that the Yuwen family was going to confront the Yuchi family east and west, so the emperor would inevitably rebuild the court. Now there are a large number of officials and officials vacant, and the emperor urgently needed talents!

Everyone studied hard, except for a few people, most of them have the mentality of "studying and becoming an official". They will not miss the opportunity to enter the officialdom easily. However, for most of them, they are a luxury for them.

Children from aristocratic families can easily become officials with their families, while children of powerful families can be protected by their parents' merits. For poor scholars, being invited by the county magistrate to attend a banquet is an extremely rare opportunity to show their faces.

If a poor family wants to enter the officialdom, someone will recommend it or recruit it. However, it is not easy to get appreciation. Many people don’t have the chance to attend a banquet convened by local officials several times a year, let alone get appreciation.

Without being recommended, the sect leader wanted to become an official, so he had to join the army. However, many people did not have enough financial resources to support the army, no one taught the military tactics, did not know how to set up camps, and did not know how to lead troops.

When I went to the battlefield, there were not even people who could block the arrows. I had to make military achievements with my life, and there were many dangers.

Therefore, when I learned that the emperor was coming to Xiyang and was about to inspect the provincial school, both the teacher and the student were reserved on the surface, but I was very excited inside. The emperor was obviously a person who came to the provincial school to select talents. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would never be missed!

The county magistrate and the governor can establish his own subordinates, and use this to start his career as a local bureaucrat. If you want to be promoted to the position of a Beijing official, you may have to pass half your life. The person you are interested in can be a Beijing official directly!

Being an official in Beijing is close to the center of power and has more opportunities. You can also use this to gather connections and lay a deep foundation for your career development. This opportunity is exciting just thinking about it.

Of course, most students are self-aware. Their current talent will not be attracted to the emperor's eyes, but if they can be praised by the emperor and gain a reputation in advance and are willing to recommend them in the future, there will probably be many local officials who will recruit them.

Since ancient times, people have often lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain near Chang'an, which has gained fame and attracted the attention of the court and achieved the purpose of being recruited as an official. This is a shortcut to the officialdom. Today, Huangzhou Prefecture School is a shortcut to the officialdom.

Countless people looked at the young emperor with hope, and the young Yuwen Qiankeng looked at the students in front of him and the well-educated people around him, and he was also very expectant.

He wanted to rebuild the court, and he urgently needed talents. Compared with those powerful and noble officials from aristocratic families, selecting talented young people and famous scholars from the state schools is an excellent opportunity to build his own team.

Most of these people came from poor families and had little in-law relationship with those noble families and powerful people. They had few connections in the officialdom. Once they were recruited by him, they could only rely on the imperial power.

Such people became officials and were loyal to the emperor more than the nobles and powerful children. Huangzhou Prefecture School gathered a large number of poor students, so Yuwen Qiankeng decided to stay in Xiyang for a while and select talents well.

At the same time, Yuwen Qiankeng came to the state school to study on another aspect.

Liu Zhuo and Liu Xuan, who teach in the state, are the world-famous "Two Lius". They are all from Hebei, and many of the well-educated scholars here are from Henan and Hebei.

These people can travel thousands of miles south to study, so their family background is naturally good, with many relatives and a great influence in the local area. Then the news of his arrival in Xiyang will inevitably be passed on to their hometown through the letters from these people.

Apart from Er Liu, some of them and their parents also had a high reputation in Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain), for example...

Kong Yingda, the direct descendant of his father Nifu, was born in the Fang family of Qinghe and was named Fang Yanqian, who was famous for his scholars. These two people were in Xiyang. The news that he was still alive and arrived in Shannan could spread throughout Shandong with just a letter from his family.
