Chapter 21 You caused the most comfortable sleep.
The Chu family was restless early in the morning, and outside the Chu family, the entire Shengjing was also in turmoil.
First, the four lines of Hengqu spoken by Chu Yian in Zhuangyuan Building became popular throughout Shengjing in just one day, and spread to the surrounding areas at an extremely fast speed.
Nowadays, any student in Shengjing who doesn’t know these words will be laughed at.
The students who heard Chu Yian say these words in the Zhuangyuan Building that day seemed to straighten their backs a little, as if they had witnessed something extraordinary.
In addition to these few sentences being truly shocking and making readers feel as if they have found the key to why they read.
It also made them reflect on whether their original motivation for studying over the years was too complicated, too focused on fame and fortune, and whether they had lost the integrity of a scholar.
If we ask them to speak, they will not be able to come up with such earth-shaking words as "establishing a mind for heaven and earth".
But these words are so inspiring that no matter how many times I hear them, they make my scalp tingle and I can't help but get goose bumps.
In addition, everyone was looking for Zhang Zai mentioned by Chu Yian.
I want to know who this person is and what kind of broad mind and lofty ambition he has to be able to say such words.
Only one night had passed, and although they wanted to look for it, no one knew where to start.
Chu Yian only revealed two pieces of information: Zhang Zai and the old man.
It's too vague. It's really difficult to find Zhang Zai based on these two points.
Therefore, although they really wanted to have a long chat with Mr. Zhang, the scholars had to suppress their restlessness and wait patiently.
The news about Zhuangyuan Building spread widely. It reached the palace and the emperor's ears yesterday at noon.
The emperor wrote the four sentences on a piece of paper. As he read them, he felt a surge of majestic energy vibrating in his chest.
He took the paper in his hand, pressing it so hard that several deep wrinkles appeared on it. Without even looking up, he said to Eunuch Lai Fu who was standing beside him, "I wonder who this person is who can say such words. If I can use him..."
He didn't say anything else, but Eunuch Lai Fu had served the emperor for many years, so how could he not know what he wanted to say?
He immediately followed the emperor's words and said, "Since the girl from the Chu family has met Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to question her thoroughly? Perhaps we can find Mr. Zhang based on the clues she provides?"
The emperor sighed and finally raised his head. "It's a pity that such a great talent has only a few words passed down in his old age."
If it could have been discovered earlier, perhaps he would have been able to help consolidate the Dashun regime and make the surrounding small countries dare not invade.
He no longer had to worry about how to settle the Qin family.
The imperial edict in the Qin family's hands was a thorn in his heart. As long as the Qin family existed, it would constantly remind him that the late emperor had issued a confession of guilt to the world.
Admitting one's mistakes to the world and admitting that one has killed loyal and good people is a great shame and humiliation for every emperor. If this is recorded in history books, how will future generations view their royal family from now on?
How many people would scold them? The emperor didn't want to think about it.
Eunuch Lai Fu whispered, "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world. Just say the word, and Mr. Zhang will come immediately to serve you no matter how far away he is."
The emperor chuckled and placed the paper on the table: "Look for it. If you can find it, that's great. If not..."
Eunuch Lai Fu didn't dare to guarantee that he would find it, so he could only order someone to ask Chu Yian as soon as possible.
Mr. Zhang is now the object of pursuit by scholars all over the world. If he knew that even His Majesty was looking for him, Lai Fu believed that he would show up on his own.
After Lai Fu left, the emperor looked at the paper and fell into deep thought again, and then his eyes gradually became colder.
Chu Yian, Chu Xiuyuan's eldest daughter...
This Chu Yushi would refute whatever the emperor said in the court every day, whether it was reasonable or not, to show his presence. He was really hateful.
But he couldn't do anything to this group of hateful censors. If they really tried to do something to him, he would be so happy that he would die.
Maybe he would die in front of him in the Golden Palace.
If that were really the case, the saliva of the scholars all over the world would drown him, and I wonder how harsh the insults would be.
The emperor has always wanted to find a way to punish Chu Xiuyuan, but he has never had the time.
He never expected that he had a nemesis who was specifically designed to jinx him, and who actually took the initiative to hand the handle to him.
He could take advantage of Chu Yian's outburst to strip Chu Xiuyuan of his official position and let him do other things. He can't even manage his own family affairs, yet he has the nerve to point out other people's faults every day.
What the hell?
Chu Xiuyuan really couldn't stay in the position of censor forever, otherwise he would be unhappy all day long.
It's just not the right time yet.
Chu Yian is about to marry Qin Sheng. There is already a big gap between the two families' social status. If Chu Xiuyuan is demoted at this time and Chu Yian is asked to marry Qin Sheng, it would be a bit unreasonable.
The other wives of officials were either unwilling to marry their daughters to Qin Sheng, or Qin Sheng looked down on them.
After carefully selecting Chu Yian, the emperor really didn't want to bother with such matters and choose him again, which would be a waste of time and effort and not be appreciated.
Therefore, even if Chu Xiuyuan's official position was to be demoted, it had to be done after the two of them got married.
Fortunately, their wedding day is not far away. Once Chu Yian gets married, he will definitely deal with Chu Xiuyuan immediately. It doesn't take too long to wait.
Outside, Zhuang Younan and her brother Zhuang Lei had come to Shuntian Prefecture countless times, trying their best to find out who saved Zhuang Younan yesterday.
They asked around and found out that someone said they had seen the man who saved her, but they had never heard her talk about who she was or where she lived.
Even if they want to repay a favor, they don’t know who to turn to.
Unable to persuade Zhuang Younan, Zhuang Lei had no choice but to take her to ask for help from Lord Zhang, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.
Lord Zhang also had a headache. Looking at Zhuang Younan's energy, he always felt that if this man found someone, he would probably marry her in marriage. He didn't know Chu Yian's identity in the first place, so he didn't dare to say anything now.
He couldn't tell Zhuang Younan that the person who saved you was actually a woman, right?
Therefore, Lord Zhang hid the two men for a whole day and did not even allow them to enter the gate of Shuntian Mansion. He only sent someone to tell them that since the man did not reveal his identity, he must not want them to remember him, so they could leave on their own.
Zhuang Lei was completely helpless and looked at his sister helplessly: "How about we go back? That young man might just be here to see injustice..."
Zhuang Younan shook his head stubbornly: "Brother, I, I want to see her again and thank her in person. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would have died in some corner by now."
Chu Yian stayed quietly at the Chu family, having no idea that her actions yesterday had caused such a sensation, affecting so many people to varying degrees, and even leaving some people unable to sleep all night.
In the afternoon, Tao Shuang brought the embroiderer over, measured Chu Yian's size, and left after confirming some details of the wedding dress.
With nothing to do, she wanted to go out and play again.
But thinking of Hua's repeated urgings to behave himself during this period, he gave up.
I can only take out the notebooks I have read before and read them over and over again, but the more I read, the less interesting they become.
The stories in ancient storybooks are all about this: either a poor scholar meets a lady from a wealthy family who falls in love with him at first sight, or a fairy in heaven falls in love with a mortal and is willing to give up her status and work for him in the human world.
Or they are banned books that are so pornographic that it hurts the eyes.
I could only read it secretly under the covers, and after finishing, I had to hide the book so that no one could find it.
