Xin Changshi is not young, in his fifties, with a thin appearance and a serious expression. His whole behavior is in compliance with etiquette. No matter what he says or does, no one can fault him. He is a neat gentleman.

He was originally a child of an aristocratic family, and he took part in the imperial examination as a Tai Tai student. The late prince of the palace where he originally served was also a survivor of the clan who was exiled from Lingnan. Because he was still young when he was exiled, and there were no elders accompanying him.

, he was still far away from Old Zou Wang and his brothers. Although he received material support from the Chen family and his sons, he failed to receive a good education. When he returned to Chang'an City in his twenties, he could only recognize a few of them.

His writing was semi-illiterate, and his etiquette was very crude. For this reason, the late emperor specially arranged a royal tutor for him, and the one he chose was Chang Shi, who came from a noble family.

Although Chang Shi was younger than the old prince, he worked as a royal tutor for the old prince for five years, and the teachers and students always got along well. Five years later, Chang Shi resigned from the post of royal tutor and became a Hanlin bachelor to study history books. The old prince

He just couldn't get used to it. He couldn't get along with the chief historian at that time. He thought that his talents were not good enough, his character was not correct enough, and his demeanor was not good enough. He picked on three chief historians successively, and they all lost their popularity. In the end, the old prince couldn't bear it.

I wrote to the current saint and asked the former king to write a long history for him. Seeing that he had always been honest and upright, the saint agreed.

From then on, Chang Shi stayed in that palace and got along well with the old prince. He himself had no political ambitions and had already finished the history book he wanted to write. He had a leisurely official career, reading books and chatting with friends in his free time.

Talking about literature, it was a magical life. The old prince was also very satisfied. He felt that with such a good long history to help him handle the affairs of the palace and teach his children and grandchildren, he would not have to worry about it for several lifetimes.

When the old prince passed away, he left a last word, asking his wife and children to respect the old man and listen to his advice. At that time, his eldest son behaved politely and obeyed his father, so he didn't notice it.

What will happen to my son?

But as soon as the old prince died and the new heir was sure that his throne would not fall into the hands of his brothers, his true colors were immediately exposed. He was not a gentle gentleman at all, and he did not like to read or drink tea. On the contrary, he liked to drink and have fun.

, likes to have fun with a bunch of musicians. When his father was still alive, he held back for too many years in order to keep his inheritance rights. Finally, he was no longer restrained, so he would no longer wrong himself!

The old concubine always indulged her son, but the old prince couldn't stand it, and kept giving advice. The new king was very annoyed with him, but the old prince's last words clearly stated that the old prince should stay in office, and many people heard it at that time. If he had

If Chang Shi drives him away, he will be suspected of being unfilial. What's more, what the old Chang Shi taught him is correct, because driving people away for this kind of thing seems to be unreasonable.

Princess Dou came to the door, and she really played into the hands of the new heir king and the old concubine. Anyway, Uncle Dou is weak and sickly. He only wants an official position and has no intention of taking over the power of the palace. They are also happy to have an uninvolved long history occupying the position.

. After a few years, their favorite confidant had accumulated enough qualifications and could be promoted to the position of Changshi from the fourth rank. Uncle Dou's son also successfully became an official, and he just abdicated in favor of someone more worthy.

As for Lao Changshi, Princess Dou and the old concubine worked together to appeal. The reason they gave was that King Sui's actions were becoming more and more unreliable, which worried King Sui. However, because they felt sorry for him because he lost his mother when he was young, he was indulgent and could not bear it.

Discipline. Princess Dou is the stepmother. She wants to persuade her, but she is often misunderstood, so she can only hire Gao Ming.

She took the recent rumors about Li Dai and Mrs. Guo Guo as an example, and said to the old man: "The heir had already had rumors about doting on his concubines and killing his wives. That was because his beloved concubine secretly used tricks to mislead the heirs.

Because of the king. The concubine now deserves her punishment, but the heir king has abandoned himself since then. The prince cannot bear to teach me, but I, my stepmother, can't teach him. If there is no more respected elder who always advises me, I am afraid that the heir king will lose control even more one day.

He will cause a big disaster and involve the whole family. Then the prince and I will not be able to rest in peace even if we die!"

Old Changshi was persuaded in this way.

Since he came to the Sui Palace and took office, he has not only behaved in a polite manner, but also neatly sorted out the mess left by his predecessor. He has also always warned his successor, Li Dai, and even personally drove to the residence of Mrs. Guo Guo.

Li Dai asked Li Dai to go back to his house. Li Dai ignored him. He stayed in front of the house of Mrs. Guo Guo and read loudly the regulations on the relationship between men and women in the laws and etiquette books of this dynasty, which attracted many people to watch and discuss. In the end, Guo State

Madam was annoyed first. She had lost interest in Li Dai in the first place, and now she asked an old scholar to block the door, just in time to use him as an excuse to drive him away.

Li Dai was "invited" back home in such an aggrieved manner.

He was very unhappy and ran to complain to his father. The King of Sui was just happy that he got rid of the slut Mrs. Guo. How could he let him get entangled with her again? It can only be said that the teachings of the new Changshi are all right and the eldest son should be obedient. If the eldest son really has the intention

In an official career, one must pay attention to one's own reputation! How can a saint be assured of entrusting an important task by hanging out with sluts all day long? If you can get an official position by pleasing Mrs. Guo Guo, why don't you see the saint issuing orders these days? If the eldest son wants to continue

What a nonsense, the old Sui King thought he needed to reconsider the future of the palace.

Li Dai suspected that his father was threatening to replace him with other brothers as heir, so he did not dare to say anything more.

He had long forgotten the funeral matters of his late wife and had no intention of intervening. But because of the insistence of the old man and the order from his father, he had to reluctantly run to Sanyuan. Because he had two younger brothers who were jealous of him.

He also showed thorough etiquette and extraordinary demeanor, and he did not want to be compared with his younger brother and make others laugh. Therefore, during the process of burying the coffin of his late wife Chen, he followed the instructions of the ceremony official and acted honestly

The rules were followed and no mistakes were made.

Li Lijun watched in amazement. She never expected that her father would be so cooperative.

She originally thought that her late mother Chen would receive a quiet funeral. Apart from herself and her subordinates, only people from Prince Zou's Mansion would attend. Perhaps an elder from the Sui Prince's Mansion would come as a representative - most likely his third uncle - but

There will definitely not be any grand pomp.

However, now not only the third uncle is here, but Aye and the second uncle are also here. Chang Shi and Sima are also here. Prince Zou's Mansion has sent the concubine and the second son of the heir, Li Shen, who have not yet been officially canonized, as representatives. In addition, the princess of Jiyin County and others

Several aunts also came. Several clans that had received help from Chen Weng and his son all sent their descendants to watch the ceremony.

The new chief historian of the Sui Palace, who was familiar with etiquette, presided over the ceremony, and the hundreds of chanting groups from Qingliang Temple came out again. The entire burial ceremony was held with great pomp, and there were so many people that it could not even fit on the entire hillside. Many nearby villagers came to watch the fun.

Aunts Cui and Lu, as well as many of Zhao Chenji's old friends, were moved to tears. They felt that their wife had truly enjoyed the honor that belonged to the concubine today, but it was a pity that she could not see it herself.

This is the scene.

Li Lijun actually feels that the meaning of mourning and glory after death is far less than the happiness in life. However, Chen's death is a foregone conclusion, and she can't change anything. It is a good thing to see her mother buried in such a grand manner, right? For Li Dai's sake

To keep her peace today, she had always maintained a respectful attitude towards this scumbag father, giving him enough face in front of outsiders.

As for Xin Changshi, who arranged and presided over the entire ceremony, Li Lijun respected him from the bottom of her heart. Even if he opened his mouth, he would always say some truths and old rules, and advised her not to just think about her late mother because she missed her.

She had to observe filial piety outside and ignored her grandparents and father at home. She listened calmly. Anyway, Chang Shi had the freedom to give advice. It was up to her whether to accept it or not, but she would not reject it face to face.
