On the desk, heavy documents were stacked high.
Even though he was covered by these documents, Xu Jian also knew that Li Shao was glaring at him.
As expected.
These documents were specially selected by him and best reflect the daily government affairs of the Ministry of Rites, which are orderly and orderly.
If the Holy Spirit asked, it would make sense.
After all, when it comes to every matter, if there is any modification, it must be done on the basis of knowledge.
Otherwise it would be a fantasy.
And these basics are really boring and boring.
It was very boring for anyone to watch. Even Xu Jian had to press his eyebrows from time to time, let alone Li Shao who couldn't calm down.
Xu Jian just pretended not to know what Li Shao was thinking and continued to read page after page.
Finally, it was almost noon, and Li Shao was about to put down the paperwork when he saw Xu Jian standing up first.
He raised his eyebrows and said "rare" in his heart.
Xu Jian adjusted the cuffs of his clothes and said to Li Shao: "I remember that Eunuch Hu mentioned this morning that Your Highness will go into the palace to have lunch with His Majesty at noon, right? It's almost time. Your Highness should not keep His Majesty waiting for a long time."
Li Shao really wants to go to the Imperial Study Room.
No matter how much his father asked him about his experience in observing politics, it would make Li Shao more comfortable than sitting here.
But he wasn't in a hurry. Why was Xu Jian in a hurry?
Feeling enlightened, Li Shao asked: "Do you have an appointment?"
"I made an appointment with the princess," Xu Jian said truthfully, "just have a bowl of noodles at the noodle shop in front."
After saying that, Xu Jian cupped his hands and walked outside.
Mr. Hu came in and met him face to face. After saying hello, he said to Li Shao, "Mr. Fu Guo is in high spirits on happy occasions."
Li Shao snorted.
Isn't it refreshing?
He was walking faster than usual, but I couldn't tell there was anything wrong with his legs.
"We haven't gotten married yet." Li Shao muttered.
It was just a murmur.
Marriage is given.
In front of the Thousand Steps Corridor, eating a bowl of noodles at noon, what's so inappropriate about it?
A few more words to criticize this matter, not to mention whether the father and the emperor's grandmother were annoyed, Li Shao found it quite annoying.
The most annoying thing is that you can't be picky and you have to give people happiness.
While he was racking his brains to face his father's school entrance examination, Xu Jianneng happily ate noodles and drank noodle soup with his wife, who had never passed the exam.
After such a comparison, Li Shao thought, it would be better to sit here facing a pile of boring documents and wait for Xu Jian to come back and say something mean to him.
Of course, just think about it.
"Let's go," he said, "don't keep your father waiting."
In the other room, Xu Jian entered the private room.
Lin Yunyan has already arrived, sitting at the table and twisting peanuts.
The red clothes were all twisted cleanly, leaving only the fat white peanut kernels piled in front of me like a hill.
Seeing Xu Jian coming, Lin Yunyan divided the peanut kernels into two parts and put one part on Xu Jian's side.
"The princess is generous." Xu Jian said.
Lin Yunyan heard his tone and laughed: "Isn't the Ministry of Rites not being nice to you?"
Xu Jian sat down and took a sip of tea: "I'm not easy to treat, and he's even harder to treat."
This is the truth.
Why did you choose to start observing politics from the Ministry of Rites?
The Holy Spirit has asked this question, and so has Uncle Cheng.
Xu Jian's answer was reasonable and well-founded.
The Ministry of Rites was preparing for Enke, and the imperial examination was the foundation of the imperial court.
A long list of scene words, every sentence makes sense.
The Holy Emperor nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and naturally he would not object.
Chengyibo actually expressed concerns.
In fact, Lin Yu was worried about the whole matter of Xu Jian accompanying the prince to watch the government.
Unfortunately, they chose the Ministry of Rites first.
The Ministry of Rites is really boring. With the prince's temperament, he may not be able to bear the pressure.
However, Xu Jian had made up his mind and had some ideas, so Lin Yu didn't say much and just asked him to take it easy.
But the most real reason is clear to both Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan.
If you go to other yamen in Liubu, you can't "oppress" Li Shao so much.
It seems that Li Shao is in the Ministry of Punishments and has strict rules and regulations, but if you give him a few criminal and prison case files, he can probably get some sense of it.
The Ministry of War can see old military documents, which are now being deployed in various places; the Ministry of Industry also has a lot of information on urban construction and water conservancy. The text is not necessarily interesting, but there are many pictures. As long as you can read it, even the text will be much more vivid.
The same is generally true for the old files in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Those yamen are not as busy as the Rites Department recently, and everyone is trying to figure out Li Shao's progress and status.
Teaching young people, old people are experienced.
Once you find it is too boring, you will immediately adjust your approach and actively switch from simplicity to complexity.
Li Shao was just unsure, not inexperienced at all. He really got better step by step...
You won't be able to get the effect Xu Jian wants.
That is to say, the elders of the Ministry of Rites were too busy to take care of it. The Holy Emperor was satisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince's understanding of politics, so that Xu Jian could keep putting pressure on Li Shao.
Just stare at whatever is boring or boring.
Starting from the most difficult and annoying thing, how could Li Shao be positive?
It’s not enough to just sit and read, you have to write down your experiences every day...
Lin Yunyan smiled and shook her head.
What does it mean to injure the enemy by one thousand and injure yourself by five hundred? This is what Xu Jian did.
But then she thought about the reason why she had to do this even if she was willing to hurt herself, and Lin Yunyan felt that this was not funny.
It's just for self-protection and to break the situation.
Of course, Xu Jian himself was not relaxed either.
He knew the operations of the Ministry of Rites and even other yamen in Qianbulang.
But he has to pretend to be a "layman".
He had only been in the Ministry of War for a few months, and he had not even sat in Shuntian Mansion for a full month. He was a layman who knew nothing about other places.
No idea should be too revealing.
His thinking and understanding must be ahead of Li Shao's, but he must not be too high.
Xu Jian said: "Having half a month is enough to make people look at them with admiration, but it's about the same."
Lin Yunyan understood.
The so-called almost means that if you press it again, you can see the results.
This is like a long bow.
If the bow string is always fully drawn, it will become unstable and vibrate.
At this time, you have to hold your breath to completely break the string.
Outside, Shen Chen knocked on the door.
Hot noodles were delivered.
In the imperial study room, Li Shao was facing a table of delicious food and lacked interest.
The table was placed in a side room, and the major case of the Holy Emperor's memorial and the piles of documents on it could not be seen, but Li Shao felt that he still seemed to be standing there, waiting for his father to ask questions.
From learning Chinese characters and reciting poems when I was in elementary school, to later testing what the three orphans taught me.
From when he couldn't reach the edge of the big case, to when the big case only reached his waist and abdomen, he still felt a little shorter.
Li Shao glanced at His Majesty.
Father is still very good when he doesn't take exams.
My father will not take the exam during the meal, and will not start until the table is cleared.
But this kind of charter is very much like a "deprived meal."
It’s strange to be able to eat as much as you like.
It's not smooth, but it's delicious.
Li Shao was full.
Seeing that he had a good appetite, the saint couldn't help but smile and said, "Did you eat too much for breakfast?"
"Quite a few," Li Shao said. "Even after reading the paperwork all morning, I don't know what's going on. My stomach is empty."
When the Holy Master heard this, he sighed: "Reading these documents is no easier than riding a horse and drawing a bow."
Li Shao lowered his eyes and said, "It's really not easy. I'm so dizzy looking at it."
The Holy One laughed.
"Just feel dizzy!"
After rinsing his mouth, he asked people to come in and clean up, and he greeted Li Shao back to the study.
"I used to get very dizzy when I saw those things!" The Holy Emperor was filled with emotion, touched his beard, and said to Li Shao, "You also know that I used to be an idle prince.
I have only been exposed to these things since I was appointed as the prince.
At that time, people in the court were in panic. Prince Ding, who was supposed to be the crown prince, had left. Your imperial grandfather was seriously ill, leaving me with too little time.
I wish I could stay awake, but I am afraid that I will get sick from exhaustion, so I will be forced to rest.
I can only rest well when I should rest, and study hard when I should study. Even so, my eyes are shining brightly when I look at those boring things, and my words are floating in my eyes.
Fortunately, I got over it.
For the king of a country, all this hard work is necessary.
It’s annoying to read the regulations, but wouldn’t it be even more annoying for the people below who work according to these regulations? "
Li Shao had heard a lot about his father's thoughts before.
Perhaps I have gained some experience recently, and this time I have some resonance.
It turns out that my father once had such a difficult time.
"You persisted." Li Shao said.
"Yes, it seemed like a mess at the beginning, but later I was able to take matters into my own hands," the Holy Sage sighed, "Fortunately, my father did his best to the elders I left behind.
And Uncle Pinghuang, he really taught me step by step, which made him so tired that his hair turned gray.
When I was able to take charge of my own business, he gave up again and went back to bed for half a year. I couldn't even ask him for advice.
Shao'er, it would be great to have someone to guide you! "
Li Shao was stunned.
He had been listening to it with great interest a moment ago, but at this moment, it was as if cold water had been poured on him.
The "lead the way" in the father's words refers to Xu Jian.
But how can Xu Jian be so virtuous?
Why can he compete with Prince Ping?
When the old prince said something harsh, even his father had to listen patiently. What happened to Xu Jian?
Thinking like this, Li Shao said: "Speaking of which, I saw that my uncle was in good health during the Chinese New Year. Is he still in good health these days?"
"He is fine," the Holy Emperor said with a smile, "It is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, so you can go see him for me when you have time."
Li Shao naturally agreed.
It was almost time, and the Holy Emperor did not stay with Li Shao any longer, but gave him a few words.
"I have the experience of reading your and Xu Jian's writing every day, and I am very happy."
"Xu Jian has some good ideas. You should communicate with him more."
"He has never been in contact with the Ministry of Rites before. I think he is still stumbling."
Eunuch Cao sent Li Shao out. When he returned to the imperial palace, he saw the Holy Master looking through the experiences he had compiled.
"I read it every day, and I have a different experience every day," the Holy Master pointed his finger on the paper and said, "I just recalled the past with Shaoer. To be honest, I am a little envious of him.
I have learned a lot from the elders since I was a child, and now I go to the Six Ministries to observe the government, step by step, step by step.
Better than me, I rushed the duck to the shelves at that time. "
Eunuch Cao called to the Holy Father and joked: "You are also very good at driving ducks."
The Holy One clapped his hands and laughed.
On the other side, Li Shao returned to the Ministry of Rites.
Entering the study room assigned to them by the Yamen, there was no one inside.
Xu Jian hasn't come back yet.
Li Shao fell back on his chair and took the tea from Eunuch Hu.
I sat there until the lunch break was over before Xu Jian showed up.
Not early, not late, just right.
Li Shao glanced at him.
Father said that Xu Jian was stumbling? Xu Jian didn't even stumble much when walking.
"The princess has gone back?" Li Shao asked.
"I'm back," Xu Jian said. "The princess asked me to say hello to His Highness. She said that the Empress Dowager is also very concerned about His Highness watching the government."
One asked casually, and the other answered casually.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not bad, Eunuch Hu withdrew.
Unexpectedly, the next few times he came in to refill the tea, the more he tasted it, the more he felt that something was not right.
The Duke of Fu was still the same as before, quietly reading the documents.
Their Highnesses were becoming more and more absent-minded.
This is not surprising, His Highness has complained to him several times about being "boring".
For Eunuch Hu, His Highness is right, but he is extremely boring.
But no matter how boring it is, His Highness's thoughts were still on these documents at first, unlike now, where his mind was wandering to nowhere...
When people sit down, their souls fly away.
Li Shao wandered around in the sky until it got dark and the oil lamp was lit in the house, and he came back to his senses.
Turning his head, he saw Xu Jian looking at him expressionlessly.
"Your Highness seems tired," Xu Jian said calmly, "Why don't you go back earlier today?"
Li Shao immediately responded "Okay".
The officials of the Ministry of Rites Yamen were able to survive each other better than the other. Li Shao stayed with them for half a month and never left the official Yamen during off-duty time.
He planned to find a wine shop to have a drink after he went out, and then go to Jiangjunfang.
Who knows, the idea is very good, but it can't be done.
Xu Jian looked like he was sending him off respectfully, as if he wanted to send him back to the palace.
"It's all gone. You do your thing, and I'll do mine," Li Shao said angrily, "Father asked you and me to watch the government, but I didn't let you take care of me all the time. "
Xu Jian was indifferent and said: "I am doing this for His Highness's own good. If His Highness is tired, he should rest early. If he is not tired, shall we go back to the Ministry of Rites?"
During off-duty time, there are officials of all sizes along the Qianbu Corridor to Nangong Gate.
Even if Li Shao couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to cause trouble with Xu Jian here, so he could only suffer and be sent all the way to the palace gate.
When he returned to the East Palace angrily, Li Shao couldn't help complaining to Eunuch Hu.
"Do you think he wants to be lazy?"
"Don't you have an appointment with the princess again?"
"He and the princess went together, but I can't go out of the palace anymore."
"Those two brothers are both very lucky."
Eunuch Hu persuaded me kindly, turned his back and wiped the sweat from his head.
His intuition told him that if this continued, His Highness might have to fight with Duke Fu.
The next day, Eunuch Hu quietly gave Xu Jian a few hints.
Xu Jian's answer was so ambiguous that Eunuch Hu couldn't tell whether he understood it.
After stressing Li Shao for another three days, Xu Jian suddenly suggested: "The examination room has been arranged. Would you like to go and have a look, Your Highness?"
Li Shao agreed.
Isn't it more comfortable to move to the examination room than to face the paperwork?
Gongyuan is making final preparations.
Li Shao walked in, pointed and pointed, and suddenly felt much refreshed.
When he came out, he looked around and happened to see an acquaintance.
That person was Liu Xun.
Li Shao tilted his head and asked Eunuch Hu: "Where is Mr. Xu Jian?"
"The Duke of Fu is still talking to several adults inside."
Li Shao laughed: "Let someone tell him that I have to leave first."
Leaving these words behind, Li Shao strode towards Liu Xun.
