Coincidentally, in Bafangke Teahouse, the first person in history books was also being talked about.
"At that time, the dynasty was in chaos and the ten kingdoms were divided. Prime Minister Wen and the one emperor unified the ten kingdoms and established the country and dynasty. They left behind countless legends and glorious miracles. At the same time..." The middle-aged man in Confucian shirt took a long breath and mourned. After satisfying everyone's appetite, he smiled mysteriously and said: "There is also a two-border monument."
"how do you know?"
"What two boundary monuments?"
"Have not heard."
In response to all kinds of doubts and questions, the middle-aged man in scholar's shirt was not in a hurry. Instead, he picked up the tea bowl and took a slow sip.
The green shadow at the door flashed, and then came in three or two times. He clasped his fists weakly and said in a clear voice: "Brother, are you talking about the first female prime minister of the prosperous dynasty?"
The middle-aged man in scholar's shirt frowned and looked up from the tea bowl. He saw the man in front of him had red lips and white teeth, and a bright complexion. His eyes were as bright as the sun under his raised eyebrows. He was wearing a green robe and a jade belt. He looked like he was a noble son from a certain family.
He was slightly dissatisfied with being disturbed: "What are you talking about? We are talking about the legendary Prime Minister Wen Cheng."
Su Zhi blinked and grinned: "Wen Cheng is a woman, don't you all know?"
Before others could react, Su Zhi had already jumped into the middle of the crowd with great experience, and said in a clear and clear voice: "I don't blame you. Not to mention this dynasty, women have never been able to be officials. They only have some knowledge of music, theory, literature, or Playing a chess piece and playing a piece of music, thinking that the sound will win over others, but tsk tsk, it’s nothing more than a splendid bouquet of flowers.”
No matter whether anyone answered or not, Su Zhi opened his mouth like gurgling water, and there was no reason for him to stop suddenly. He continued on his own: "Is Wen Cheng an ordinary person? That's definitely not the case. That's why she disguises herself as a man. Only by entering the court and becoming a confidant of the emperor can she turn the tide and control the heroes. She can go to the battlefield and command thousands of troops, and she can guard the court and fight with the scholars. Destroy the nine kingdoms, unify the country, establish a new dynasty, and innovate. Politics!"
Just saying these things makes people's blood boil, as if they were in the melee of that year and saw the two armies fighting on the battlefield, as if they could hear the officials arguing and defeating all methods with one force.
But that's not all yet.
"If this is all, the prosperous dynasty is gone, no matter how great the great achievements are, they will also be buried in the ruins of the destroyed dynasty, but!" Su Zhi shook his clothes, sat down and crossed his legs and said casually: "Wen Cheng built Jixia The palace is different.”
Jixia Palace has endured for three dynasties and has cultivated countless talents for the court. Tracing its roots back to its origins, it is all the credit of Wen Cheng.
The middle-aged man in Confucian shirt agreed, but regarding the idea that Wen Cheng is a woman...
Su Zhi didn't care about other people's opinions. He had no fun. Seeing that there were many people here at Bafang Guest, they were just joining in the fun. He said leisurely: "Ignorance is not your fault. For future generations, only literary and deeds will be left, and her story will be deliberately obscured. Just gender. Why?
Of course it's because not all men in this world are dead, but she was made a woman, how can you men still have the dignity to live? "
Putting aside the motivation to ask and answer questions for yourself, aren’t you a man yourself?
It was eerily quiet for a moment in Bafangke Teahouse.

Lei Weng also briefly told Lu Anran about the deeds of the female prime minister in the prosperous times.
When the dynasty was first established, the situation was unstable and the people were confused. Although the ten countries were integrated into one country, their homeland was unforgettable. The upright and upright scholars were unwilling to "traitor their country for glory". The old officials of the previous dynasty were confused and uneasy, and the people of the ten countries were confused and at a loss.
The new emperor and Wen Cheng need to cultivate a group of confidants as soon as possible, improve the new dynasty system, win over the people's hearts, and spread it from top to bottom to form an invisible but powerful network, so that they can truly hold this new and unstable dynasty tightly. in hand.
This takes time. As for the method, Wen Cheng proposed to establish Jixia Palace.
Originally, all ambitious people from the ten countries could enroll, but they had to be under the age of fifteen. She needed fresh blood to be injected into this brand new dynasty, and she also used this method to make this newly stitched country truly integrated. effect.
Wen Cheng succeeded, but she was a woman and was used to the world's attitude towards women. She hoped that even women should live their own lives and have a heart to control their own destiny, so Jixia Palace established a rule to allow women to enter school.
After that, Wen Cheng opened many women's colleges in various parts of the prosperous dynasty in order to let civilian women also receive education. She believes that as long as a woman sees more of the world and reads more books, she will have her own thoughts, instead of blindly relying on men and living without self.
After Lu Anran listened, he said: "The world criticizes women so much. Maybe it's not that women want to be like this, but that the world is like this."
Lei Weng lamented: "Wen Cheng's dynasty lasted for more than 600 years, and after fifteen emperors, the status of women increased, and there were also examples of women becoming officials later, but she was the only female prime minister, and she was an unprecedented and extraordinary woman. "
Lu Anran was silent when he thought of Jixia Palace today.
Hundreds of years have passed, and many things have changed. Nowadays, most of the women entering school regard Jixia Palace as a stepping stone to climb up the dragon and become a phoenix, which is a waste of Wen Cheng's efforts.
As for the women's college, there is only one left in the royal capital.
The sun moved to the west side of the gate and was blocked by the shadow of a large tree. Lei Weng stood up on the spot and sighed: "Wen Cheng left when the dynasty was at its peak. No one knows where she went, leaving only a two-border monument. .”

Bafang Tea House
Su Zhi was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. He seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit. His smile reached the tip of his brow and he sipped tea in his mouth: "The two boundary monuments, there's nothing strange about them. How come you haven't seen them before?"
This pretentious and pretentious expression made many people want to spray the hot tea in their hands.
Su Zhi put the tea bowl on the table, and then remembered it in a daze, and said seriously: "Oh, I forgot, this monument is in Jixia Palace, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
I want to beat him now.
Fortunately, Su Zhi knew what was going on, "Who said something just now? The civil and political exam was about a monument. It was the one left by Wen Cheng."
The middle-aged man in a scholar's shirt finally interjected, intending to lure the people back at once, "Yes, that tablet was written by Prime Minister Wen. The front is facing the sun. The cursive script is unruly and powerful, just like the majestic momentum of thousands of troops. The willow body on the dark side has flowing clouds and flowing water, and the pen moves like a dragon. The form is indescribably free and unrestrained."
This is consistent with Wen Cheng's life.
"Hahaha——" Su Zhi laughed unceremoniously and said, "Which folklore book are you reading? Is there any introduction to the scholarly fox demon who is so charming and irresistible?"
The middle-aged Rushan felt insulted and blushed: "You look like a scholar, how can you be so insulting to gentleness?"
Su Zhi shook his head: "You've been bragging for a long time, but you haven't even said what is written on the tablet?"
Others echoed: "Yes, since Prime Minister Wen's ink marks must be extraordinary."
The middle-aged man in a scholar's shirt had a red face with a hint of livid, and he rolled his sleeves and said, "I haven't had the chance to meet you yet, but I just heard that..."
"Hey, who are you talking about? Your uncle's cousin's aunt's third son's uncle's sister-in-law?" Su Zhi plucked his ears and didn't say anything to the other party. He said to himself: "You are all wrong. Monument It’s called the Two Boundaries Monument, but it doesn’t have those yin and yang things.”
With a flick of his finger, a little gap leaked out of the tea bowl, and the fragrance of tea overflowed. Accompanied by Su Zhi's teasing tone, he said, "Write four words on the front, "Shengshi Shou Zheng", and the same four words on the back..."
Su Zhi raised his right hand and raised four fingers, "It's surprising in troubled times."
The middle-aged man in a scholar's shirt was doubtful, "You say what's yours, and I say what's mine. Who has the final say?"
Su Zhi tilted his head, supporting his chin with one hand, his white face illuminated by the sun as bright as the sun, and he squinted his eyes and smiled, showing the unique confidence of a noble son of an aristocratic family, "With me, Su Zhi, I can go to Yanshan Mountain and enter the Jixia Palace!" "
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Su Zhi flicked his sleeves and said calmly, "Let's go."
After leaving Bafangke Teahouse, Su Zhi saw a person from a distance, his eyes lit up, and he immediately chased after him: "Brother Yun!"

Leon took out a stick of roasted corn from nowhere and took a bite. Thinking that he now had an additional disciple, he considered whether to break it in half.
Lu Anran looked silently at the half-cut corn that he handed over after hesitating for a long time. It seemed that Leon had just used this hand to drag the bones over.
"I'm not hungry."
Lei Weng immediately took it back and said in a confused voice while chewing corn: "Many people don't know, and think that the eight characters on Wen Cheng's stele are expressing her own experience. She came out of troubled times and brought the prosperous dynasty to supreme prosperity. It's over. Take off your clothes and hide your merit and fame."
Lu Anran: "Wen Cheng is a woman, but she is a true celebrity. She is not afraid of wind and rain when she comes, and she does not ask about her merits or demerits when she leaves." Very few people can achieve this with such coolness.
"Hey." Lei Weng snickered: "I don't know what Liu Xiaozi thinks. This year's civil affairs examination questions are set on the inscription."
Lu Anran was still wondering if this Liu boy was who she thought he was. Lei Weng was looking at himself and said, "I'm afraid it will be hard for a lot of people."
Like the assessment of the Medical Sect, the literary and political examinations are simpler and clearer. There is a low table under the two boundary monuments, which is covered with pens, inks, paper and inkstones. If you do a good job, you will have a way. If you do not do well, you will be stuck in the same place until the end of the assessment.
There was one thing Lu Anran didn't understand: "There is only one monument for the two boundaries." Should all the civil and political assessments be put on one monument?
Lei Weng clicked his tongue: "How come you are not smart enough to tell the truth about the maze and where you are in it?"
Lu Anran seemed to understand, "In the examination of civil affairs and national policy, the proposition is these two landmarks."
Lei Weng gnawed on the corn cob and said vaguely: "It would be a big mistake to limit it to prosperous and troubled times."
After receiving no response for a moment, Leon raised his head: "Don't you understand?"
Lu Anran is not familiar with Wen Zhi Dian theory, so he doesn't understand the deeper meaning in this.
Leon gave an extremely down-to-earth metaphor, "If you stand under the sun, will you see the shadow behind you?"
Lu Anran was startled.
Lei Weng finished chewing the corn cob and threw it back. He put his hands behind his back and said: "It is extremely prosperous, just like the full moon then loses. It prospers and declines. She left this monument more to give an early warning to the prosperous dynasty. A wake-up call.”
Shaking his head, he sighed: "It's just that when it was at its peak, there were only a few people who could have such a clear mind."
Lu Anran always felt that there was an indescribable sigh in this emotion. Before she could taste anything, Lei Weng slowly walked away and waved his hand towards her: "Go to Luyuan to find Manager Cao to make arrangements." Schoolhouse.”
