After Liu Jiaren entered the palace, she spoke impassionedly about her future prospects after the trade between the four countries.
"Actually, the Song Dynasty has always had such an ideal. It's just that after many years, it has been unable to achieve its long-cherished wish!"
"The economy and trade of the Song Dynasty are very active. From top to bottom, the Song Dynasty does not like war. Why should we always fight when we can sit down and talk about things?"
"Unexpectedly, the things that Song State has been trying hard for many years but failed to accomplish will actually be taken a big step forward in your hands, the Queen!"
When Liu Jiaren spoke, sparks flickered in her eyes.
"My king has been looking forward to this day for a long time!"
"The empress led Liang, and among the four countries, she was the first to promote female education and the first to vigorously popularize free education."
"I heard that your Majesty is still interested in incorporating this free education into the national policy. In the future, we will legislate that all children of school age, regardless of gender, must go to school."
"Their parents and brothers must not use any excuse to prevent their children from going to school! What a good idea!"
"My brother and I have already written down this good plan and sent it to the king of the Song Dynasty. My king is very impressed with it and plans to follow the example of Liang Guo and implement this national policy in the Song Dynasty."
Wen Jin smiled and said, "Song people are really lucky to have such a king."
Liu Jiaren said, "The people of Daliang are lucky to have such a virtuous queen as the empress."
Liu Jiaren forgot that there is a saying that "walls have ears".
Her words reached outside the palace and reached Xiao Yuchen's ears.
The eunuch was about to sing, "The Emperor has arrived——"
Xiao Yuchen waved his hand to stop the eunuch and maid from making any noise.
He stood outside the hall with his hands behind his hands, listening to the voices in the hall.
With his skill, his six senses are sharp.
Even if Liu Jiaren lowered her voice and spoke, he could hear her if he wanted to.
What's more, Liu Jiaren seemed to be too excited and her voice was high and clear.
She said excitedly, "Now in our Song Dynasty, people don't know about Emperor Liang, but they have all heard about Empress Liang!"
"Even the people of the Song Dynasty especially respect and love Empress Liang!"
"I tried my best to invite you to my country in the Song Dynasty, but I also saw that you were always on guard and oppressed in Daliang. I thought that the environment in my country in the Song Dynasty would be more friendly to you."
"I didn't expect that you are not someone who shrinks when encountering difficulties. Your tenacity makes you better at facing difficulties! It's really admirable."
…
Xiao Yuchen was outside the hall and heard clearly.
Especially the sentence "The common people don't know Emperor Liang, but they know Empress Liang."
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
The eunuch behind him and the maid on the side also heard it.
They secretly looked at him with trepidation.
Many people secretly blame this female envoy from the Song Dynasty for speaking so freely!
Why do you say everything to others?
If the emperor heard this... what would he feel in his heart?
Isn’t this just what the ministers have always been worried about?
In the palace.
Wen Jin smiled and said, "Liu Shi is so complimentary. If it weren't for my lord's full support, I might not be able to accomplish a single thing if I only have so many ideas."
"In terms of vision and ambition, it belongs to the Emperor. But he silently supports me and attributes all the credit to me."
"I can't imagine how much pressure he has endured. The daily court meetings, the advice of the Minister of Humerus... which one is not a stone that weighs on him?"
"But he never told me that. He always told me to do whatever I wanted to do and leave the rest to him."
"If it weren't for my emperor, who would know me?"
Liu Jiaren looked at Wen Jin, the envy on her face could no longer be concealed.
"This is the legendary 'husband and wife love each other deeply, and their hearts are inseparable', right?"
Xiao Yuchen was outside the palace and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
He turned and left.
The little eunuchs trotted behind.
The two young eunuchs looked at each other and secretly frowned.
"Is the emperor angry?" one asked with his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty smiled. You should be relieved, right?" A wink answered.
"Then why are you leaving? Aren't you here to persuade the empress not to work too hard while you are pregnant?" One raised his eyebrows and wrinkled his nose.
Before the other one responded, Xiao Yuchen said, "Prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones, I want to compose a poem!"
The two eunuchs were stunned when they heard this.
Compose poetry?
Ever since he ascended the throne, the Emperor has never said that he still has this hobby!
No, it should be said that when he was still a prince, he did not have this preference.
There are even rumors in Kyoto that King Huai is a martial artist who has no knowledge of music, poetry, and poetry.
An even more exaggerated statement is that he cannot even recognize common words!
Of course this is impossible! As a prince, how could he not even be able to read?
They had seen the emperor's approval and memorial.
The current emperor's handwriting is no worse than that of the civil servants who were born in the imperial examination, and is even more vigorous.
But writing poetry is...
The two young eunuchs shook their heads at each other.
Maybe the emperor was stimulated... The world only knows Empress Liang, but not Emperor Liang.
No man can stand this kind of thing, right?
So, the emperor wants to show off his literary talents? Let his poems be sung by the world so that he can outshine the Queen?
I just don’t know what the emperor’s literary talent is like.
I saw Xiao Yuchen picking up his pen and writing "Phoenix Ode" with a splash of ink.
"There is a golden phoenix in the beam, spreading its wings like a peng, soaring in the nine heavens, traveling thousands of miles in a day..."
The eunuchs who served the emperor were knowledgeable and literate.
The two little eunuchs looked at each other in surprise...
If they understood correctly, the emperor's gift was to praise the queen, right?
He...isn't angry?
Not only is he not angry, he seems to be getting happier as he writes!
As I was writing it, I started singing it myself!
If he hadn't been holding the pen in his hand, the eunuch doubted that he could have jumped up, singing and dancing to praise the empress's talent for governing the country...
"Okay!" Xiao Yuchen put the pen down, "My new work!"
"It is rare for me to write a poem and submit it to the Hanlin Academy for revision and circulation."
"I decree that if you can write poems and songs that are better than my poems and poems, you will be rewarded!"
The eunuch quickly accepted the order and took the emperor's masterpiece to the Hanlin Academy.
The Hanlin in Daliang was equivalent to the emperor's senior secretary.
Issuing official documents, copying the emperor's literary masterpieces, and making suggestions for the emperor are all their duties.
Of course, those with talent would be promoted from the Imperial Academy, given real power, and held official positions.
The Hanlin Academy got this "Phoenix Ode", and a group of people hung it on the big wall of the Hanlin Academy.
Everyone gathered around and looked at it carefully.
"Every word has true feelings, and there are waves of praise...it's just..."
Before a Hanlin finished speaking, his colleagues around him looked at him.
This made him feel very unconfident, and his voice became a little softer, "It's just that the idea is a bit strange, isn't it? In the Phoenix poem, why does it only praise the phoenix and not the phoenix?"
Those who can go to the Hanlin Academy are smart people.
Someone's eyes immediately lit up, and they had already figured out the meaning.
"No wonder, no wonder..."
Because the emperor's original intention was to praise "Feng"!
Isn’t it clear at a glance who Feng Dai is referring to?
The slow Hanlin still hadn't figured it out... The emperor never wrote poems, but this poem was really good!
He responded beautifully to the fallacy that the emperor was just a warrior and had no knowledge of poetry and poetry!
And the word "emperor" is really a good word! Without more than ten years of hard practice, I would never be able to write such good calligraphy!
Such a blockbuster opportunity - the emperor is actually building momentum for the empress? Why?
