Chapter 86
When he arrived in the capital, it was already a few days later, and Mu Qing was tired of being soft and comfortable in the carriage. But when they arrived, Mu Qing still felt that it was worth it to travel for a while.
The architecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty is quite similar to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, and it is very magnificent. The south is meticulous and unique, but when you stand in front of the gate of the capital, you look up at the towering palace wall, and you feel shocked just by looking at the layers of blue bricks.
"How is it compared to the South?" Li Qianyu had already stood beside Mu Qing, and his voice was clear.
Mu Qing reined in his thoughts, looked at him and said with a smile: "The south is elegant, the north is magnificent, and the two places have their own merits, but I can't compare." ”
"But I just like it here." Li Qianyu raised his head slightly, looking at the high city gate, there was a faint light in his eyes, which was breathtaking, "My father and I once climbed the city tower, I was still young at that time, but I still remember the feeling of standing on it and looking down." ”
It's a feeling of being in control, standing on a high place, within reach of the pinnacle of power, that makes people crazy.
Mu Qing didn't understand this feeling, although he had his own ambitions, he was only limited to living well, he didn't have an absolute desire for power, and he just wanted to be stable for a lifetime. But he knows that Li Qianyu is different from him, he has been above tens of thousands of people under one person since he was born, and one step up is one step to the sky, and it is normal for him to have desires.
Now, he has paid for the blood and lives of too many people, and in front of him there is nothing but glory and an abyss, and there is no other way than to continue to move forward, and they have long been unable to turn back.
"You'll get what you want." This is the first time that Mu Qing has clearly expressed his support.
Li Qianyu looked at Mu Qing and curled the corners of his lips without speaking.
The capital is heavily guarded, and entry and exit must be checked. Li Qianyu was not prepared to embarrass them, so he walked in. The guards had armor on their bodies, and it was inconvenient to give full salutes, so Li Qianyu was born and exempted from their salutes. Mu Qing could see that although Li Qianyu had been away from the capital for a long time, these soldiers still respected him and seemed to be sincere.
It seems that His Royal Highness King Zhuang is well aware of the importance of the people's will and has never slackened.
Naturally, there were people from the palace of the capital waiting at the door, and when they saw them, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and the leader was a middle-aged man, with a white face and no beard, and his voice was a little soft: "I've seen the prince." ”
The look on Li Qianyu's face was faint, and he didn't speak.
Lan Ruo took a step forward slightly and said, "Steward Wang, you drive the carriage back first, and I will walk back with the prince." ”
The steward surnamed Wang nodded yes, and then saluted: "Lord, the manager of the palace is here, and he is in the mansion." ”
Li Qianyu frowned slightly, the person who could be called the chief manager in the mouth of the king steward was naturally Huang Hui, the most trusted chief manager around Emperor Li Muyan, but Li Qianyu did not feel that his father and emperor had the leisure to send someone to see him when he returned to Beijing, and the normal procedure was for him to enter the palace to meet him.
Even if people come to see whether he is dead or alive, it will not be Huang Hui.
But Li Qianyu didn't say much, but said: "You go back first, entertain him well, and tell him, and then the king said." ”
The king's steward answered and went to set up a carriage, and at this time, Mu Qing heard An Nu ask himself in a low voice: "Master, is that person a eunuch?" ”
Mu Qing stretched out his hand and patted Annu's head: "Don't talk about people like that, and...... Eunuchs are not something that anyone can be if they want to. "Only a high-ranking eunuch can be called a eunuch, this is an official title, and there is a lulu collar.
Annu also knew that he didn't listen to what he said, so he shrank his head and stopped talking.
Lan Ruo was next to him, so he naturally heard it, but his face did not change and he did not miss any traces.
The city gate is not far from Li Qianyu's palace, which is in an alley to the east of the capital.
Li Qianyu's expression along the way has not changed, he has been looking left and right from time to time along the way, he is dressed well, but the people in the capital can not see how noble a person is just by looking at what he wears, as the saying goes, the three-grade official at the foot of the city gate, throwing a brick out can hit a few big people, and the rest are the family members of the big people.
Talking about these gossips with Mu Qing, Mu Qing also had time to visit the capital, which is not bad. It is very different from the Forbidden City of Beijing in later generations, and the entrance hall of the building is full of atmosphere, which makes people feel relaxed when they look at it.
"Everyone in the world says that the capital is good, and it is really not bad." Mu Qing sighed with emotion, whether it was in his previous life or now, this is a place where every inch of land is valuable.
Li Qianyu just nodded and didn't say anything.
Mu Qingji's original book once mentioned that Li Qianyu's house was originally the private residence of Li Qianyu's mother's mother's family, which was considered the private property of Li Qianyu's mother, but now this mother has changed from Liu Guifei to Yuan Concubine. A woman who can have a private house in the capital will definitely not be a small family, and if she wants to accumulate these things for Li Qianyu, the emperor will not ask.
Li Qianyu was originally favored by the emperor, but he was not released from the palace, but provoked the queen to be suspicious of Li Qianyu, so that the smash hit King Zhuang was framed by the eldest prince and forced out of the palace. If he didn't have a mansion, he could only live in his mother's private house, and the emperor never gave him money to build another place until he was forced out of the capital.
Fearing that this experience would become a lifetime of humiliation for Li Qianyu, Mu Qing pursed his lips and asked himself not to ask more.
However, after a short time, he had already arrived at Li Qianyu's mansion, and the courtyard was not very big, and it was even worse than that in Mizhou. It's quiet, but it's also too remote to see anything lively and out of place outside. There is not even a plaque.
"Brother Li didn't think about hanging a plaque?" Mu Qing watched Lan Ruo step forward and push the door, then turned his head sideways and said to Li Qianyu.
Li Qianyu pinned the jade fan to his waist, and then said: "This king will not be here for long, so there is no need for it." ”
When I entered the door, there was a hole in it. There are not many servants in the palace, but now most of them are performing their duties and have not come out to greet them. Seeing that the white-faced housekeeper Wang was waiting at the door early, and when he saw Li Qianyu coming in, he hurried to greet him: "Lord Wang, Gonggong Huang is inside." ”
"Hmm." Li Qianyu nodded, and then looked at Mu Qingdao, "If he comes, he must know that you came to Beijing with me, so it's better for you to hide and not see, let's go together." ”
Mu Qing didn't have any opinions: "I'm not a big girl with yellow flowers who can't see people, I'll see you when I see them." ”
Li Qianyu didn't think he was so cool, but the people in the world did not treat the eunuchs in the palace very peacefully, ordinary people regarded them as monsters, and most of the people who read looked down on them, but Mu Qing had already had psychological construction, and he was well versed in the eunuchs of various dynasties, and now he may be curious, but there is no fear and discrimination.
I can endure even such a knife, and I must be able to endure what ordinary people can't bear, and it's amazing just to look at this.
Annu didn't go in with him, but went to pack his luggage with Lan Ruo, Mu Qing felt that Annu always changed his way to avoid Li Qianyu, but he only thought that Annu was timid and didn't think much about it.
When you enter the foyer, you will see a hall with simple layout, and the only conspicuous thing is a jade on the mahogany platform, which is beautiful and transparent, and it is upright there. And a man sat on the chair with his hands down, thinking that it was Huang Hui.
Huang Hui is actually a very good-looking eunuch, Mu Qing thought of this, the Li family's selection of talents seems to have high requirements for appearance, just looking at Li Qianyu's temper to judge people by appearance, you can get a glimpse of one or two. Huang Hui was wearing a bright red robe, embroidered with silver patterns, a dark blue jade belt tied around his waist, and no dust was scooped on his hands.
He was holding a tea cup, squinting slightly and not knowing what to think, when he saw Li Qianyu enter the door and stood up hurriedly, bending slightly to salute, smiling respectfully but not flattering: "The slave has seen the prince." ”
"No courtesy." Li Qianyu smiled at Huang Hui and stretched out his hand to help him, Huang Hui was a little flattered, he didn't dare to smile and straightened up.
Although Li Qianyu didn't say anything, just looking at this attitude, he knew that Huang Hui was not an ordinary eunuch, Mu Qing simply lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. But he could feel that Huang would look at himself again, which made him a little awkward, and said in his heart, although I don't discriminate against you, but don't look at me all the time, it's very awkward...... And you just look at it, and you always look down at your waist, which is clearly harassment.
Li Qianyu sat on the upper hand, but Mu Qing stood aside and did not sit down.
Huang Hui said with a smile: "The prince is the road, the emperor sent the servants to come to see if the prince is okay all the way, this house has been for a long time for fear that there is something missing, the prince said bluntly, the slave will definitely go back to the saint." ”
Li Qianyu's expression was faint, although he looked gentle, his eyebrows were still cold: "It's very good here, the mother concubine has arranged everything that should be thought of, and asked Gonggong Huang to return to the emperor, and Liulang thanked his father for his kindness." ”
Mu Qing blinked and looked at Huang Hui, and sure enough, the father-in-law's face was not good-looking for a moment. In fact, his words were very straightforward, the emperor wanted to know that Li Qianyu was in distress on the road, and he could also know who did it, and he was sent to make Li Qianyu feel at ease, and by the way, he would give some benefits so that he would not be held accountable, after all, the emperor and queen can only be harmonious in the world, and the emperor did not want to turn against the queen.
But Li Qianyu refused without thinking about it, leaving no room for anything, and specifically mentioned his mother Concubine Yuan, who was clearly in a posture of not reluctance to give up with the queen.
However, Li Qianyu did not blindly be stubborn, but changed his words slightly: "This time the king went to Mizhou, but he brought a lot of southern specialties, and invited Huang Gonggong to bring it in when he returned to the palace. ”
Huang Hui's face looked better, and there was a little appreciation between his heroic eyebrows.
Huang Hui is not Li Muyan, he has nothing to do with these people, so he can see it clearly, he naturally knows that Li Qianyu and the queen's faction have long been immortal, no matter who will become a treasure in the future, the first thing is to kill the other party.
But these have nothing to do with him, Huang Hui's head is very clear, once the son of heaven and a courtier, when Li Muyan went west, it was? p>
Holding the sheath neon roasting the yingyun so send the panic S just 5 around the, slaughter the, the scar, the scar, the sole, not only the polonium, the rui, the naan, the stinging p>
Li Qianyu was used to doing these things, so he didn't say anything about it after mentioning it, and talked to Huang Hui about other things. Mu Qing was not very happy to listen to them, so his eyes turned to the calligraphy and painting next to him, but occasionally he turned around and saw Huang Hui looking at him.
"I don't know what kind of character this son is, but he looks heroic." Huang Hui suddenly stopped talking and looked at Mu Qing with a smile.
Mu Qing pursed the corners of his lips, glanced at Huang Hui out of the corner of his eyes, and said in his heart that this beautiful eunuch really had bad intentions. Li Qianyu frowned slightly, but still said: "He is Xie Yuan of Guizhou Mansion, Mu Qing, and he came to participate in the examination this time." The king saw him at first sight, so he invited him to come and stay in my house for a while. ”
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was not new for dignitaries to invite talented scholars to raise their sons, and once some poor scholars were valued by dignitaries, their future careers would be much smoother. It's not like a gang, as long as it's related to culture, it's very high, even if sometimes it's those secret things, but because of the saint shell, it looks very noble.
Although Mu Qing felt that it was a little strange for Li Qianyu to bring their relationship through such a single stroke, it was obvious that it would be beneficial for them to distance themselves a little now.
I thought that Huang Hui just asked casually, but how did I know that the person actually smiled and said: "Seeing that Mu Gongzi is a talented person, why don't you live in the Tai Academy, first, you can learn more things, and second, you can also know more people, okay?" ”
This surprised both Li Qianyu and Mu Qing.
They all know what kind of place Tai Academy is, and it is generally controlled by ordinary colleges, but the stewards and teachers from top to bottom are all hierarchical officials, and the students of Tai Xue must not only be talented, but also the children of official eunuch families, and a poor scholar like Mu Qing from a remote place will definitely not be able to touch the edge.
Li Qianyu valued Mu Qing and wanted to tie Mu Qing to his side, but this was really a good opportunity, Huang Hui stood here and watched, even if he didn't know what this person meant, but at this moment he was not good at scooping Mu Qing's idea, so he turned to Mu Qing: "Mu Qing, what do you mean?" ”
This is a temptation, if it is left on others, I am afraid that I will agree immediately, but Mu Qing smiled and did not take it to heart at all.
What if you enter the Tai Academy? Once a son of heaven and a courtier, now that he has stood in line, it is better to stand this team more solidly, if it fails, even in Taixue, he can't escape death, if he succeeds, he will be crowned a king and a marquis.
He opened his mouth, but his eyes looked at Li Qianyu, and said: "I was in the palace because of my friendship with Prince Li, we introduced each other as confidants, if I go to Taixue, I am afraid that I will not meet such a person with such an appetite." As he spoke, his eyes looked at Li Qianyu, and his gaze was clearly full of enthusiasm and yearning, poking at Li Qianyu as if he had materialized, "I yearn for Brother Li's style all over his body, and I will be satisfied if I can learn a thing or two by my side." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Qing saw that Li Qianyu and Huang Hui had strange expressions on their faces. It's really too ambiguous to say this, it's clear that it's rushing to flatter people, and the biased tone is honest and resolute, which only makes people blush when they hear it.
It was not the first time Li Qianyu had seen Mu Qing's virtue, and he was stunned for a moment by the man's overheated expression and then ignored him. Huang Hui re-evaluated this person in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Since Mu Gongzi and Wang Ye hit it off at first sight, then it's okay if you don't go to Tai Academy." The minions were inconvenient to bother more, so they took their leave. ”
"Huang Gonggong will go slowly, and this king will not send it."
Huang Hui left with a smile, but when he passed by Mu Qing, he touched the blood-colored warm jade on Mu Qing's waist with his fingertips without a trace.
The texture is warm and even, revealing warmth.
Huang Hui lowered his eyebrows slightly and walked away quickly.

Huang Hui is a good-looking eunuch, in fact, many eunuchs in history are quite powerful, such as Zheng He who went to the West, such as Cai Lun who made paper, and the beautiful Yuhuatian [Hey, what's wrong
