    The talents selected from various places do not all arrive at the same time. Sometimes there are more than a dozen in one day, and sometimes no one comes for several days in a row. Therefore, the evaluation is conducted every three days, and only three or five people come in one day.  When individuals are assessed, lots are drawn at the Chang Dynasty to decide who among the officials will participate. As for Wang Kuang, he comes every time. As a result, the person who draws the lot has nothing to say. The Marquis of Jian'an comes every time.  Come on, I can only come here once a month at most. Only someone who is extremely unlucky can get consecutive draws. How can I shirk it?

    After everyone finished talking, they looked at the number plates and found that today's assessment was over and they were about to disperse. Wang Kuang raised his head and found that the old Taoist priest was still there, so he smiled: "Look, I've been busy with this."  Our doctor has forgotten, it is a sin, I hope Taishang Laojun will not blame someone for leaving his disciple aside."

    "How can it be? Laojun and Marquis Jian'an must be irreverent. You can so specifically name a certain alchemy practitioner to take the exam. This is to praise a certain alchemy Taoist. I'm afraid Laojun will not be happy in time." Taoist priest  He was quite good at talking, and with just one sentence he made everyone who had not dispersed laugh.

    "Isn't that right? Taoism and officials are from the same family, and the Jade Emperor is also a Taoist. However, after the Jade Emperor became emperor, he was no longer a Taoist disciple. When the old man met the Jade Emperor, he called himself an old minister and did not dare to disobey."  Wang Kuang also had a rare moment of humor, and secretly reminded him, "Don't think that just because I look at you Taoists differently, you can do whatever you want. You still have to abide by the laws of the court and obey the saints."

    "Don't worry, don't worry, everything is the same in heaven and on earth. Marquis Jian'an, as a star king, listens to the saints. How dare you make a mistake?" The Taoist priest was so frightened by Wang Kuang's words that he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.  Hey, there is a Saint of Sanqing here, why is it getting more and more serious the more he talks about it, does a certain little Taoist still dare to challenge the Saint?  Even if someone is now at the ninth level.  If there is an official of lower rank than ninth grade, I have to be careful with him, right?  Why did Marquis Jian'an's words mean a warning?

    In fact, Wang Kuang was worried about the emergence of something against heaven that should have appeared hundreds of years later, something that could change the situation on the battlefield, which made the Taoist priest arrogant.  In the future, greed will become out of control. If the court cannot satisfy him, some people may dare to do anything.  He doesn't expect the Taoist priests to understand now, it just needs to be a knocking effect1,.  So he nodded and said: "I'm just joking. It's just too reserved to see you staying here alone. That's it. You and the Yamen servant go to the post house to rest first, and you can come down in a day or two to file the petition.  When the time comes, someone will take you there. It will take three or two years for the courtyard of Gewuyuan to be ready. You can stay in the prison for a while first. You don't have to work. You can just walk around and have a look, or if you want.  You can go to Taixue to observe the arithmetic class first, which will be of great benefit to you in the future."

    Arithmetic is used in chemistry, but it is still in its infancy.  What is used is not very sophisticated, and it is precisely the development of other disciplines that accelerates the development of arithmetic, and the rapid progress of arithmetic accelerates the development of other disciplines. In the end, it is even possible to use arithmetic to calculate based on what was previously known.  Unknown existence, then there is a direction to find and verify this existence.  In fact, all disciplines are complementary to each other. For this Taoist priest, it is necessary to master simple arithmetic.  It just happened to pave a way for his future research work, so Wang Kuang said this.

    Not long after returning home, just as Wang Kuang expected, Changsun Chong came over with a bang. Wang Kuang looked at the water leakage on the timer and thought, "Yes."  Not even an hour has passed, but the words spread quickly. Honglu Temple is different from other yamen. Because it involves foreign affairs and monks and nuns, it opened a separate yamen on Zhuque Street. From Kaihua where Honglu Temple is located  It takes nearly two-quarters of an hour to get there from Changsun Mansion, even if you jog all the way. There are so many pedestrians on the road, so if it is not an official matter, it is impossible to get up quickly.

    "Erlang, I heard that you proposed to restart the construction of Yong'an Palace?" As soon as he entered the door, he was ushered into the hall by the concierge. Without even bothering to take a sip of tea, Changsun Chong immediately started asking.

    "That's what you said, what's wrong?" Wang Kuang pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.

    "Ouch, what do you want someone to say about you?" Changsun Chong looked a little bit annoyed at the inability to make steel. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Wang Kuang: "Look, just a few days ago in the court, Mr. Wei pointed his nose at him and scolded him.  , have you forgotten all about it in the blink of an eye? It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over, just wait for Mr. Wei to scold you as a treacherous villain. Don¡¯t you know that anyone who has been scolded by Mr. Wei in this way will be used by the saint?  You should think twice before you act, now you, Wang Erlang, are really doomed and cannot be saved."

    "That's it? Why did Mr. Wei scold someone like this? Believe it or not, when Lao Gao's discount comes up, I'm sure Mr. Wei will be the first to jump out and support." Wang Kuang was happy: "It depends on whether your eldest son's family supports it.  Supported.¡±

    "How to support? No reason? Saints have alwaysI beg the court to be frugal. If Yong'an Palace had not been considered for the Supreme Emperor, it would not have been built. Now that the Supreme Emperor has been dead for many years, where can you find the reason?  Haven't you heard that the saint even planned to remove the cornerstones and pillars of Yong'an Palace for various government offices to use for repairs? If he hadn't suddenly gone into hiding this time, I'm afraid the demolition would have started long ago, but you'd better do it  , but to restart construction, isn't this going against the saint?  "

    "That's it?" Wang Kuang glanced sideways at Chang Sun Chong and took a slow sip of tea. Then, San Bai, who was squatting next to his chair, obediently picked up a small cup of tea from the fruit plate on the coffee table.  A piece of scone was stuffed into Wang Kuang's mouth. Changsun Chong was so envious that he didn't want to continue talking to Wang Kuang. He quickly took a sip of tea, and then swallowed it in one gulp, whether it was hot or not, and then opened his mouth.  Sanbai didn't even look at him.  Several maids waiting nearby covered their mouths and snickered when they saw this.

    The young master who comes from a wealthy family is the young master, and his face has been tempered to the point of invulnerability. Seeing Sanbai ignore him, Changsun Chong didn't change his face. He picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering: "It's still in front of me."  Delicious." He immediately moved to the main topic: "Isn't this not a big deal? Think about it, Erlang, you always follow the saint's thoughts when doing things. You can help the saint whatever he wants.  Done, now is good. The saint wants to demolish Yong'an Palace, but you have to rebuild it. This is not good. If someone with intentions takes advantage of it, saying that your wings are hard now, and you don't take the saint's words seriously, the three of them will become  Tiger, how bad would this be for you?"

    "Oh? It's understandable if others don't support it, but if your father and your eldest grandson's family don't support it, then it's not me, Wang Li, who gets scolded, but your eldest grandson's family." Wang Kuang smiled:  "I'm here to ask you, does the Supreme Emperor suffer from paralysis?"

    "Yes, if he didn't suffer from paralysis, my uncle wouldn't have talked about building Yong'an Palace." At this time, Changsun Chong no longer cared whether this was his own home or not. He just said "uncle" and met the emperor in private on weekdays.  That's what it's called, and that's how it's called at home.

    "When did your aunt's tuberculosis begin?" Wang Kuang continued to ask.

    "Before the saint ascended the throne, he went on an expedition with the saint and contracted the cold. However, it became serious after the saint ascended the throne." Regarding this, Changsun Chong knew more about this than Wang Kuang.

    "Did Prince Jin have been frail and sick since he was a child? Did Princess Changle's Qi disease develop after she moved to Tai Chi Palace? Did Little Button and the others also have similar symptoms?" Wang Kuang curled his lips. If he hadn't seen it,  The first time I saw the little princess, I remembered that she was a short-lived princess. She reminded the eldest grandson Queen not to forget to take the two little princesses with her when she was recuperating herself. These two cute little ghosts might be very clever.  It has long since turned into a cup of loess.

    Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, he lived in the Prince of Qin's Mansion. The Prince of Qin's Mansion was not in the Tai Chi Palace. No need to ask, everyone knew this.  However, Changsun Chong suddenly understood why Wang Kuang asked such a series of questions. He opened his eyes wide and looked shocked: "Erlang, are you saying that there is something wrong with this Tai Chi Palace? Who did it? Erlang, hurry up.  Use your magical powers to calculate and see if you can pull him out and grind him to ashes!"

    "There is a problem with the Tai Chi Palace, but it's not that someone has done anything wrong." Wang Kuang shook his head, "When the Tai Chi Palace was built in the former Sui Dynasty, it should have been called Daxing Palace. The former Sui Dynasty just ended the century-old Central Plains country and the country was falling apart, and everything was left to waste.  How can there be so much money and materials to carry out large-scale construction when the city is prosperous? Therefore, the construction of Daxing Palace was made simple and hastily completed. Even the foundation is level with the entire city of Chang'an, and in some places it is even lower than Chang'an.  "

    "Chang'an is located in the Qinchuan River, which is 800 miles away, and is surrounded by mountains on all sides. It has highlands in the north and Zhongnan Mountain in the south. It wraps up the Qinchuan River in the north and south. This landform is easy to defend and attack from the south, but it also forms a  The unique sultry and humid environment in Chang'an makes it very stuffy if there is no drought, but when there is a drought, it becomes very hot again. With the continuous flow of the Wei River, the water vapor is extremely heavy, and diseases such as qi disease, paralysis, and tuberculosis can be caused.  It happens to be the most taboo against humid environment, okay. As a result, Daxing Palace is located on a low ground, and the water vapor above it cannot go. We have no ability, but what about the water vapor rising up from the ground? There is no good isolation. Do you think it can be done?  Is something wrong?" Wang Kuang also had a headache. Originally, the Taiji Palace should still be called Daxing Palace at this time. The name Taiji Palace should be changed after the Daming Palace was repaired and would happen decades later. But all this  Everything has changed, causing Wang Kuang to sometimes get confused about which ones are original and which ones have been changed because of his participation.
