After going to court, Zhao Xu returned to the inner palace and found that his queen was rearranging the study.

There is a set of small tables, chairs and a small bookshelf on the side of the study room near the window. This posture indicates that Queen Meng wanted to educate Zhao Mao himself.

Zhao Xu was a little uneasy: "Mao'er is only five years old and is still in the kindergarten class of the Royal Institute of Technology. Isn't this arrangement a bit early?"

Queen Meng disagreed: "Chief Su Shan said that there is also a method for early childhood education, which combines education with entertainment. It is not the enlightenment method of traditional aristocratic families. It is more about cultivating Maoer's interests and hobbies."

There is no way to refute this. Ever since Zhao Mao entered school, Queen Meng has served as the head teacher of the kindergarten class. She has to go there every day to manage early childhood education affairs. Now she is the expert.

Before Zhao Xu could speak, Queen Meng pointed towards the wall: "Look, Situ also expressed support."

On the wall is a couplet written by Su Youxin, "It is always common to have a close relationship, but it will last for many years and endure reading."

Zhao Xu saw the familiar calligraphy and couldn't help but sigh: "Situ is getting old too..."

Queen Meng couldn't help but wonder: "Where did the officials start talking about this?"

Zhao Xu said: "Situ's teachings by example speak louder than words. In the past, he did not make such small-format aphorism couplets."

Su You also wrote many famous couplets, the most famous of which are the couplet "Natural principles and human relations" at the entrance of the Capital University Hall, and the couplet at the entrance of the Shaanxi Road Transportation Department that complemented Sima Guang's "Gongshengmingmingminglianzhengwei" couplet.

Even the New Year's couplet inscribed in Weizhou for Mr. Feng of Longshou Village, "The heaven and earth have regained their vitality for a hundred years, and there is peace among the mountains and rivers" is more grand than it is now.

Similar to the current one, it is the one written by Kelongli on a bamboo paperweight when Su You was very young: "Knowledge of worldly affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing."

The pair of paperweights are now in Da Su's hands and are still used every day. Although they have turned amber-colored and thick with pulp, Da Su still has not learned the fourteen words that connect them.

In other words, Da Su has become transparent and transcendent. Those fourteen words are too many.

During the nearly fifty years of the Song Dynasty, Su You also lived his life into a legend, no less than San Su's existence.

Even in terms of culture.

Nowadays, celebrities from all over the world also compose couplets in their study rooms, temples, schools, and scenic spots. It can be said that the couplet culture has become a cultural carrier from the scholar-bureaucrats' theater, and Su You's several couplets have played an important role.

If nothing else happens, the pair of paperweights will definitely enter the Ke Zhen Hall in the future and become one of the precious exhibits.

What Zhao Xu meant by this was that Situ was a different kind, a monster crowned at the age of twelve. He had already completed the stage of "cultivating himself and managing the family" at a very young age. From then on, his vision was all about "ruling the country and bringing peace to the world". This kind of

Situ stopped writing aphorisms related to self-cultivation after he was about ten years old.

It was very Versailles, but Queen Meng actually thought that what her husband said was reasonable, and she felt more and more sympathetic to Su You.

After all, this couplet was specially made by Situ for Zhao Mao's study and dimensionality reduction.

…

Going to Beijing, Zhengde Hall.

The new Prime Minister Xiao Yi bowed to the Empress Dowager Xiao and said: "To appease the straight women, we need to make a marriage plan. Aguda is also a talented straight woman, so please match him with the daughter of the clan. It is not inappropriate. We will always be married to the Qin and Jin Dynasties.

There is nothing wrong with turning an enemy into a friend. But why would the Queen Mother cherish a woman?"

Empress Dowager Xiao sneered and said: "Among the girls in the clan, Yelu Yuxu's younger sister Nanxian looks good to the Ai family. Previously, Yelu Nanxian was ordered to marry Aguda, so how could the Prime Minister refuse to comply?"

Xiao Yi quickly bowed: "This is absolutely impossible. Aguda was attracted by Su Yi from the Song Dynasty. Now he has an ambiguous relationship with Liaodong. The marriage plan was supposed to make him change his mind."

"Yelu Yuxu is currently guarding Tongzhou. If he marries Aguda with his sister again, it will... add fuel to the fire and help his power."

Empress Dowager Xiao said angrily: "I said I would deal with the three families before, but you said that the three families have been loyal for generations. Although the bitch fled with his brother-in-law, none of the three families knew about it, so they should not be held accountable."

"Since you said it so well, then Nanxian will definitely not follow his brother's idea and wholeheartedly go to Beijing Zhengshuo to win over straight women for me."

"Prime Minister, do you think so?"

Empress Dowager Xiao was petty, and Xiao Yi knew in his heart that she wanted to take action head-on but was blocked by the officials, so he made excuses to punish Yu Xu's family: "Even so, we must prevent our eldest daughter from repeating herself."

"Of course we must be on guard." Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile: "Send more soldiers and horses to watch the three families to death, and strictly prohibit entry and exit. If Yelu Nanxian and Yelu Yuxu dare to move randomly, no wonder the Ai family is ruthless, right?"

Xiao Yi couldn't help but be stunned. In order to kill the three families, the Queen Mother did not hesitate to send Yelu Nanxian to marry A Guda so that she could hook up with her brother and get the excuse of "justice"!

But if Aguda really joins forces with Yelu Yuxu, can Uncle Guo be able to withstand it?

The Queen Mother is doing this for personal vendetta and does not even care about state affairs!

There is no other way, so I have to persuade: "Queen Mother, Nanxian is not the only female member of the clan. Since there is something wrong in the future, how can we avoid it first? Why don't we avoid things that can be avoided?"

Empress Dowager Xiao pondered for a long time and finally nodded: "Then let's choose within the clan."

…

The palace of Prince Yelu was surrounded by an army of three layers inside and three layers outside.

Yelu and Nu were close members of the clan. They were always cautious in their words and deeds, and passed down their poems and books to the family.

As a result, his son Yelu Yuxu fled to Liaodong and took Concubine Wen and the King of Jin with him. The sky was really in ruins.

The family members in the mansion were in panic all day long. Many slaves stole gold, jewelery and shells and fled before the army came to surround them. Fortunately, Yelu Henu had a reputation among the clan and courtiers as a good man who never caused trouble. Even Xiao Fengxian was embarrassed to bully him too much, so he just

I was given the treatment of being imprisoned.

The eldest son in the family was unable to stand up for anything. After the incident, he knew how to hide in the Buddhist hall and write scriptures. However, the younger daughter was heartless and played in the yard all day, or read, and did not in any way prevent the annihilation of the clan.

Keep disaster in mind.

The old wife and the two brides were crying and arguing every day. Yesterday, the eldest bride was chatty, saying that Yu Xu was greedy for Concubine Wen's beauty and ignored the family. After a quarrel with the second bride, she wanted to divorce.

This family is about to end.

While he was lamenting and sighing, his family reported that someone was visiting. Yelu and his slaves came out to greet him, but it was Xiao Yu, the son of Xiao Fengxian, the prime minister of Zongzheng Temple, and his consort Xiao Yu.

Xiao Fengxian is now extremely powerful. Xiao Yu studied etiquette under him for two years, so it shouldn't be a bad thing for him to come.

After the two met, Yelu and Nu introduced Xiao Yu into the study.

When he was seated, Xiao Yu asked, "Is everything going well in the teacher's house these days? I have already told the guards outside not to rush into the house, and the daily supply of meat, vegetables and meat must be provided as usual."

"Thank you for your concern, Prince-in-law." Yelu Henu sighed: "I have been cautious and cowardly in my life. Unexpectedly, such a treacherous son appeared in the family, which made the Queen Mother very angry. As a father, I should accept that I have no way to punish my son."

Xiao Yu said: "Both those who stayed behind and participated in politics were working for the teacher. I was also trying to persuade my father. Although Yu Xu went to Liaodong, one good thing was that he did not seek power. Everything was done by Wang Jing, Niu Wenshu and others.

.”

"Senior brother is now just a guard general of Tongzhou, and his power is not as good as the previous deputy commander of the East Road. That so-called King of Bohai is neither fish nor fowl, so I have to accept it. There is no need to go into it."

"This is also where senior brother is sensible. It cannot be said that he has no concerns about the purpose of going to the Jing family. When my father found out, he also said that Yu Xu's escape had nothing to do with the teacher. The teacher has always been loyal and the court should not be held responsible."

Yelu and Nu quickly handed over their hands: "Thank you very much for your kindness, and also thank you Taishi. I will always remember this kindness and pass it on to my descendants."

After saying that, he couldn't help but cry sadly: "If I can still have descendants..."

Xiao Yu looked around: "Junior sister has always been lively. She hasn't done anything impatient lately, right?"

Speaking of this Yelu Henu couldn't help but get angry: "She is just heartless. It's useless to worry about it now that the matter is over. I have no intention of supervising my homework these days, but she is at ease and contented!"

Xiao Yu said in a low voice: "Teacher, Aguda recently submitted a letter asking for a marriage, and the Queen Mother intends to marry her to Nanxian. I think this matter...may be a turning point."

Yelu and Nu couldn't help but turned pale in shock: "How could this happen? Aguma is beating the tiger and wolf leader. Isn't he a good match for a little girl?"

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Prime Minister Xiao persuaded the Queen Mother in the palace to accept Aguda's request, saying how could she cherish a girl and not rape her? Today I also want to persuade the teacher, how could she overthrow the family with a young girl?"

"Nanxian studied poetry and calligraphy at a young age, knows etiquette well, hunts, rides and shoots. Even my senior brother can't keep up. There are many people in the clan who admire him."

"But now that the situation is different, I have to do it..."

Both Yelu and Nu were about to cry: "But Aguda has become disobedient in recent years, and a few months ago he captured Daliao Xinzhou. If Nanxian marries her, and Aguda rebels again, how will Nanxian deal with himself?"

"To obey is to betray the country and the family will be destroyed; to disobey is to be disobedient and to perish oneself..."

"Instead of worrying about the future, shouldn't the teacher solve the immediate worries first?" Xiao Yu advised: "Now that the Queen Mother is taking control, her will is the greatest will of the Liao Kingdom. As ministers, how can we dare to disobey it?

?”

"The student has an idea. He might as well use Nanxian's marriage as an excuse to ask the Queen Mother to spare the teacher's family from having to deal with it, and then declare that whatever Aguda does after Nanxian's marriage has nothing to do with the teacher's family. Is this appropriate?"

Yelu and Nu were still reluctant to give up, and tears finally came down: "No matter how talented my daughter is, and no matter how serious the family's sins are, she is not worthy of being with a savage..."
