After Ling Yan left, Chu Yi was not only practicing at home, but also studying.

For Chu Yi's hard study, Chu Jianfeng was relieved, and his originally cold face had a faint smile.

Sometimes, when I'm in a good mood, I'll give some pointers. This made the father-son friendship, which was originally low to freezing, rise above zero degrees, and there was a little warmth.

Some people are warm, and some people are cold.

Health originally wanted to use the deaths of Han Qingya and Qiu Chan to discredit Chu Yi, but after thinking about it, this matter was disgraceful after all.

Subsequently, she used Chu Yi's feud with the Giant Tiger Gang to add fuel and vinegar in front of Chu Jianfeng. Unexpectedly, Chu Jianfeng not only did not blame, but praised Chu Yi's performance very much.

Chu Jianfeng's attitude towards Chu Yi took a 180-degree turn, which made Wei even more nervous.

At the moment, it is even more difficult to get rid of Chu Yi.

Wei thought about it and came up with a plan, so he rushed to Chu Jianfeng's study impatiently.

Chu Jianfeng was reading a book in the study, and Wei walked in with lotus seed and white fungus soup, and said with a smile: "Master, this is a freshly stewed soup, you can drink it first and then read the book." ”

Chu Jianfeng smiled and said, "Thank you, madam." ”

Although Wei's heart is vicious, he is handsome and knows how to grasp a man's mind. Therefore, after Chu Jianfeng married her, he never thought about marrying other concubines.

"Master, I think Yi'er is not too young, it is better to find a good girl for him, so that he can settle down again. Wei asked tentatively.

Chu Jianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I think Ling Yan is good, why bother to seek the near and far." ”

Wei had already guessed that he would say this: "Master, Ling Yan is indeed a good girl. But after all, he is heroic, and there is a strength between his eyebrows, and there is a little less feminine gentleness. Since Yi'er chose to become an official, wouldn't it be more helpful for Yi'er to find a woman from a family with similar aspirations. ”

When Chu Jianfeng heard this, he also felt quite reasonable.

Political marriage is an important means for officials.

However, Chu Jianfeng still couldn't pass that hurdle in his heart. After all, he and the Han family belong to the kind of political marriage. But after marriage, the relationship between the two people is as thin as water, and with him being away all the year round, the two of them almost became strangers.

Therefore, deep down in his heart, he still didn't want Chu Yi to follow in his footsteps.

"Madame, you think far ahead. However, Yi'er is still young, and she still focuses on reading at the moment. As for the marriage, I will wait until the results of his spring are out. ”

Wei knew his man's temperament, and once he decided that it was difficult to change something, he changed his words and said, "What the master said is very true. Anyway, I have to marry a daughter-in-law, and I, who is a second mother, still have to worry about this and help him take a look in advance. ”

Chu Jianfeng said gratefully: "Madame has a heart. ”

Wei walked up to him, then sat sideways on his lap, stretched out his white arm to hook his neck, and said coquettishly: "Master, you finally came back, don't keep drilling in the study." ”

Chu Jianfeng's heart was agitated, and he said with a smile: "I don't drill into the study, where do I drill?"

Wei put his face in front of the root of his ear and exhaled like a lan: "Where is wet, where to drill." ”

Chu Jianfeng's calloused hand reached into the hem of her skirt, and the touch of the calloused rubbing against the tender skin made Wei shiver.

"Madame, the water is a thousand miles away. Chu Jianfeng quipped.

"Nasty. Wei hugged him tightly and said slightly.

Some people say that a life of indulgence is a cycle of repetitive discharge. When it is low, it is drought. When it is high, it is a thousand miles of water.

Chu Jianfeng and Wei's did whatever they wanted in the study, and the spring was beautiful.

Wei straightened his clothes and left the study satisfied.

Chu Jianfeng took a sip of tea, sat on the chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

After a stick of incense, a man in a black suit appeared in the study, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Subordinates see Hou Ye." ”

Chu Jianfeng opened his eyes and said lightly: "Have you inquired clearly?"

The man bowed down and said, "Lord Hou, I have inquired clearly." The third prince is now in Cloud City, and he should be in Luochuan in less than three days. The eldest official who assisted the three princes was named Quan Wanshan, who served as the secretary of the imperial history. On the surface, this person is upright and strong, and dares to violate the face of admonition, but in fact, he exposes privacy, frames and slanders, and even wantonly impeaches the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the DPRK has a very bad reputation. ”

Chu Jianfeng muttered: "In this way, this person is based on 'taking the name of strength'. Then who recommended him as the assistant chief of King Yue this time?"

The man said: "Prime Minister Zhao Linfu." ”

Chu Jianfeng frowned slightly, "Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

Chu Jianfeng waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.

At the moment, there is an undercurrent in Kyoto. In the final analysis, the candidate for the "crown prince" of the Southern Tang Dynasty is still undecided.

Since ancient times, the establishment of the prince has been a major event of the dynasties, usually according to the standard of "establishing a long man but not a virtuous". If the emperor deviates from the standard of "establishing a long rank", he will inevitably attract the opposition of the ministers of the court and the central government, for two reasons: first, the etiquette and law have been like this since ancient times; second, if he does not establish a long and meritocratic person, it will easily lead to the same party and disagreement and shake the foundation of the court.

Although Chu Jianfeng has been guarding the border of Yunzhou all year round, he has still heard of the changes in the situation in Kyoto.

Now, competing for the position of crown prince, the four are temporarily qualified. The eldest prince Li Jingzhen of Chu, the third prince Li Jingtai, the fourth prince Yue Wang Li Jingyou, and the fifth prince Shu Wang Li Jingkuan.

Among these four people, King Shu likes literature and music, is not interested in politics, and often drinks and composes poems with literati in the Rantei Pavilion in Kyoto.

Now in the court, the ministers headed by Prime Minister Zhang Yuanhe (Zhongshu Order) follow the ancient rites and support the eldest prince Li Jingzhen as the crown prince. Just when the court was arguing, the emperor sent Li Jingyou, the king of Yue, from Kyoto to the fiefdom of Luochuan, Yunzhou, in advance, with an edict, which suddenly made people wonder what the intentions of the saints today were.

Chu Jianfeng couldn't guess the emperor's intentions. But he knew in his heart that Li Jingyou, the king of Yue, was stationed in Luochuan, and he would never have a good life on his side.

A prince who is qualified to compete for the throne, and a general who holds an army of 200,000 Shuofang.

These two people, as long as they meet, will definitely set off stormy waves.

In addition, Chu Jianfeng had already learned that Yunzhou Shao Yin Shaohua was the person of the third prince.

He arranged for his henchman Xia Yuanqing to secretly go to Luochuan and settle in the Thorn History Mansion. On the surface, it was for the Giant Tiger Gang, but in fact, the real purpose of this trip was to link the death of Qin Huai's father and son with his son Chu Yi, so that Chu Jianfeng could be involved.

As long as he has done enough articles, those trolls of Yushitai are enough to make Chu Jianfeng unable to eat and walk around. As long as he is dragged into the water, it is inevitable to take back the military power of Shuofang.

In this matter, Chu Jianfeng will face a dilemma: one is to hand over the military power in the form of a crime, and the other is to cooperate with him and support the seizure of the prince.

The former is very likely to be ruined, and the latter is very likely to punish the Nine Clans, but once he succeeds, he will be a hero.

This is the good calculation of Li Jingyou, the king of Yue.

Chu Jianfeng peeled off the cocoon and basically sorted out the context of the matter.

But what puzzled him was why the prime minister Zhao Linfu (Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Sanpin of the same door Zhongshumen) offended many courtiers and elected Quan Wanshan as the assistant chief of the king of Yue?

First, he has always kept silent and has not made a statement on the establishment of the prince; second, there is no intersection between him and the king of Yue; third, Quan Wanshan is a basin, and whoever uses it will stink.

These three points are enough for him to choose to sit on the sidelines. But he did.

If you know that you can't do it, then there is a "demon".

What exactly is this "demon", Chu Jianfeng has no clue. After all, the people he arranged in Kyoto had limited energy, and he couldn't find out more secret information.

At this moment, Chu Yi was drinking wine with Han Shang in the back garden, chatting about the frontier war, and occasionally bringing wind and flowers on a moonlit night.

Chu Yi put down the wine glass and said, "Big brother, I want to discuss something with you?"

Han Shang smiled: "There is nothing polite between brothers, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Chu Yi said, "I want to bring your father over?"

Han Shang was stunned and wondered, "Why?"

Chu Yi said truthfully: "Big brother, I privately founded Yanling Academy, which has a riding and archery department, and I would like to ask you to be the head of this department." ”

Han Shang was stunned again.

He didn't expect Chu Yi to make such an earth-shattering feat. Not only to study, but also to establish a college.

"Do you really want to open a academy?" Han Shang asked.

Chu Yi nodded and said, "Big brother, it's true." No one in my family knew about it, but now I know about it. ”

"I understand that my eldest brother has the heart to fight on the battlefield and make contributions. But I don't think the eldest brother had a good time on his father's side. ”

Han Shang was silent.

Chu Yi is right, he was constrained by Chu Huai everywhere in the army, and he wore small shoes for him from time to time, but he did not make an inch, and he is still a captain.

"My good half-brother is not thin on you in the army, right?" Chu Yi asked with a smile.

Han Shang looked at him seriously and asked, "Are you sure?"

Chu Yi nodded and said, "I am in place for the other five sect mountain chiefs, if the eldest brother is willing to come over, then the academy can be officially opened to the public on a certain day." ”

Han Shang hesitated, slapped the stone table, and said decisively: "You can study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and I will tell Master Hou." ”

Chu Yi said: "Big brother, then don't talk about leaking your mouth." ”

Han Shang showed his pointed little tiger teeth and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you still have this ability." You wait for my news. ”

Han Shang knocked on the door and walked into the study.

After a stick of incense, Han Shang left the study with a sly smile.

Chu Jianfeng knew in his heart that his son Chu Huai was targeting Han Shang everywhere in private, and he had no choice but to transfer him to his side as a personal soldier.

Therefore, when Han Shang offered to stay in Luochuan City to accompany Chu Yi to study, this move was exactly what he wanted. Moreover, Han Shang is upright and calm, so it is most suitable to have him with him.

"Father agreed?" Chu Yi asked.

Han Shang said happily: "Of course. ”

Chu Yi said excitedly: "Okay." Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. ”
