179 King of Chu
Xin Yi replied beside him: "The Shen family is now in full swing, even Xu Ge Lao and they all love Shen Mi, and the Marquis of Anning seems to be working him." There is no movement on Concubine Shu's side, maybe she is observing, or she may not be able to find a suitable opportunity. However, the King of Chu has been out of the palace more frequently recently, and the day before yesterday it was said that he went to the western suburbs with the little son of the Dong family to play in the ice.
"The little prince of the Dong family also handed over a post to the master at that time, and invited the two masters to go together, but the master pushed it because he was serving Mrs. Tai's decoction."
Xin Yi replied unhurriedly, and after replying, he stood aside with his hands down.
Han Ji didn't know if he heard or not, and he didn't speak. Slender and pale fingers flexibly wrapped rubber bands around the bow. When the wrapping was finished, he carefully tied the two ends of the bow, and finally took a bamboo arrow, hooked it on the formed bow and shot at the soil in front of it, and the bamboo arrow actually sank straight into the ground!
"Wow! Big brother is so powerful! β
Han Yun jumped up excitedly, clapping his hands and cheering.
Han Ji walked over with a smile, pulled the arrow out of the ground, looked at it, handed the bow to him and said, "Take it and play with it." β
"Great! Thank you, big brother. Han Yun took it, raised his arms, and ran happily with his fat calves, which were already a little in the shape of a loop.
Han Ji looked at him with a smile and went away, and it took a long time to turn around.
Xin Yi also had a smile in his eyes, and when he looked at Han Ji, he said, "The second master's appearance now should be the same as the appearance of the young master at the beginning. β
Han Ji's eyes darkened, and he walked up to the corridor with lowered eyes, and his voice came in a low voice: "How is it the same." β
Xin Yi also seemed to think of something, and stood silent for a moment before following his footsteps again.
Back in the study, Han Ji's expression had returned to normal, he first dragged over the map spread out on the table, and said: "No wonder the Shen family will be reused, with a junior like Shen Mi, one can be as good as the ordinary four or five, although Shen Guanyu is a sanctimonious person, but his vision is finally good." Shen Mi was able to come up with such a sharp strategy in an instant, and even I couldn't help but feel a little admiration. β
Xin Yi lowered his head and said with a little appreciation: "Shen Ziyan is indeed not comparable to those sour and rotten literati. β
Han Ji nodded, but he suddenly turned his head again, frowned, and said, "Since he is so talented, why doesn't he put some effort into disciplining that girl?" β
Xin Yi was stunned, how do you know that people are not disciplined?
Of course, he wouldn't say that. People are masters, and it's normal for young people to have some disputes.
He turned the topic back to the topic: "If the Ministry of War has already issued a document to go to the northwest, in this case, Grandpa Guo will have to postpone his return to Beijing, and the small prediction is that if Eastern Liao wants to settle down, it will take at least a year or two to work hard." Therefore, Xiao felt that the war in Dongliao, as well as Shen Mi's strategy, was as if God was also helping the young master. β
Han Ji groaned and said, "You mean that I can take advantage of these two years to get the position of the prince first?" β
Xin Yi nodded, his gaze determined.
Han Ji leaned back in the circle chair and pinched his chin in contemplation.
Outside the window, the leaves of the camphor tree were brushed by the spring breeze, and they were as tight as the drumbeat of the border gate.
He was silent for a moment, and suddenly stood up: "I'll go to the Chu Palace." β
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the prince leaves the palace to build a mansion at the age of fifteen, he will either go to the country or stay in Beijing after the age of eighteen, depending on the emperor's will.
The palace of the king of Chu followed the palace of Prince An of the previous dynasty, the palace of the previous dynasty and the palace of the clan were built very grandiosely, the city gate of two zhang and nine, the width of more than 100 zhang, and the city wall was mighty and magnificent. The king of Chu only moved into this palace after the queen, and all sides have been renovated, with green tiles and red walls, and the cockroaches in the arch and roof look very new.
Han Ji entered from the Duanli Gate, and when he arrived at the Carrier Hall, he handed over the horse to the attendants and walked to the apse.
The king of Chu was talking to Changshi Cui Wenzhe in the apse at this time.
According to Shen Mi's favored Cheng DΓΉ now, he will definitely not be able to sit in the position of a foreigner for long. Not to mention how the war in Eastern Liao is, just to say that in front of him, as long as there is no big difference, his promotion to the official is nine out of ten. It is said that a few days ago, Mrs. An Ninghou had a chance encounter with Shen Mi's wife in the Xu Mansion, although she was finally feathered, it was enough to show that the queen's side was already eyeing him. β
Cui Wenzhe sat cross-legged under the couch, and said to King Chu, who was also sitting cross-legged on the couch.
King Chu nodded, he pondered for a moment, then raised his jade-like face and said, "Why are they all only staring at Shen Mi and not Shen Guanyu?" Shen Mi is favored and has not yet become a climate, if you talk about strength, isn't Shen Guanyu more powerful? β
Cui Wenzhe stared thoughtfully at the desktop and said, "This question is also something that Weichen has not seen through. It may be that Shen Guanyu is the patriarch of the Shen family, and it is more difficult to win him over, or there may be other unknown reasons. But in any case, as far as the prince is concerned, it is more appropriate to start from Shen Mi's side. β
King Chu hummed, stroked the teacup in front of him, and said: "After all, Shen Mi has more contact with his father, and as long as he is on the side of this king, Shen Guanyu will not help this king, at least he will not oppose us." β
At this point he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he looked at the two birds on the cup and raised his lips. The smile in his eyes was light and eye-catching, like a pansy blooming in the spring breeze.
The waiter at the door suddenly bowed briskly and came in: "Lord Wang, Master Han is here." β
The King of Chu raised his head, and through the long window, he saw Han Ji coming from under the vermilion lacquer corridor.
Cui Wenzhe hurriedly got up and retreated, and the King of Chu also stood up, standing in the hall with his hands in his hands.
"* The light is so bright, how can the prince be willing to be trapped in this palace?" Han Ji stepped into the door, first looked around, and then said with a smile: "I heard that the spring flowers in the mountain behind Dongtai Temple bloom earlier than in previous years, and it is most suitable to go to the green at this time." β
The King of Chu smiled and did not move, "In the pure land of Buddhism, how can you be disturbed without anything?" If you want to see the light, there are many beautiful scenery behind my palace. He took half a step forward and said in a rambling voice: "Otherwise, let's go to the play." β
Han Ji shook his head, "Now the streets are full of students, and there are people from the Five Cities Camp jumping around, and I don't know how much effort it takes to watch a show." The prince has both the beautiful scenery of a garden and good tea, so why bother to suffer from that persecution? β
King Chu smiled: "You are comfortable. β
As he spoke, he glanced out and said to the waiter: "Go to the water pavilion and prepare a tea set, I want to have tea with my son." β
When the waiter went down, he stretched out his hand to ask, stepped out of the threshold with Han Ji, and walked along the nine-curved corridor that winded straight into the back garden.
The last king of the previous dynasty was very fond of pleasure, so that his subordinate courtiers and royal families were also like this, the whole back garden and the apse have a clever combination, the cloister stretches out from the hall, and extends to the flowers and trees, the trees outside the fence on both sides are shaded, the sun shines down from the gap in the branches, and then there are birds singing in the ears from time to time, which is indeed no less than any natural scenery outside the city.
Han Ji squinted at the gallery and said slowly: "When Gaozu defeated this Jingshi back then, it was a great fortune that these palaces and palaces actually survived and were not destroyed. β
In the past dynasties, when a country perished, it was inevitable to burn down the house, but it was easy to burn down, but it was difficult to rebuild, and the financial resources spent to build a royal palace were often not enough for two state cities in a year's taxes.
King Chu said: "It is a pity that the house is destroyed, but in the end, it is not as good as the loss of the talent to be destroyed." There was no shortage of talented and capable ministers in the previous dynasty, but only a small number of scholars led by the Shen family have remained until now, and the original four major families, the three families of Du Xie Qiu have withdrawn from the court, which cannot but be said to be a loss. β
Saying that, he stopped and looked at Han Ji with a smile: "My mood now is the same as yours." Empty ambitions, but unable to carry them out. β
His gaze was deep and determined, revealing some vague messages like a spring flowing from a mountain stream.
Han Ji looked at him, and his long, narrow and beautiful eyes were just as bottomless.
The leaves outside the fence rustled, and the spring breeze blew into the eyes of the two, faintly blowing some majestic dark tides surging. For a moment, Han Ji smiled and hugged his arms and said, "How can Han Ji be comparable to the prince?" The prince has the world in mind, and he will definitely have these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the future, Han Ji only wants to be a feather on the prince's wings, and he can help the prince dominate the mountains and rivers, and he is already satisfied. β
The King of Chu laughed, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him deeply for a moment, and continued to move forward.
This time, he moved again, but it seemed to be more light and stable than before.
Han Ji was half a step behind him, and the corners of his lips kept smiling, but when no one was paying attention, the chill under his eyes would lazily rise again.
After going down two stone steps, a small forest came out of the corridor, and then you entered a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones, and further on, there was the inner lake.
The king of Chu stroked the stone beside the railing, turned around and said: "Now the celebrities in the court, except for a few elders in the cabinet, I am afraid that the father and son of the Shen family will be counted. The Shen family is the head of the four major families, and it is also the only one that has entered the ruling dynasty today, a few days ago Shen Mi was in the limelight in the cabinet, and even his father and emperor were full of praise for his talent, what do you think of this person? β
Han Ji paused when he heard Shen Mi's name, his gaze in front of him was also a little far-reaching, and he was silent for a moment, his expression on his face relaxed, and said, "I have dealt with Shen Mi, and this person is not in vain. Among the young civil officials in the DPRK and China, he is indeed an outstanding one. β
King Chu nodded, staring at a branch of crape myrtle stretched into the corridor, "I have also met him several times in the Qianqing Palace, although I have never had a deep friendship, but I have the impression that he advances and retreats to a certain extent, thinks quickly, and is not shocked, and he does have a bit of a celebrity." β
Speaking of this, he turned around, "Such a person, An Ning Hou and Xu Ge Lao are willing to make friends with them, but it seems that the effect is not satisfactory, I heard that Mrs. An Ning Hou returned from the Xu family, and later Shen Mi discussed Dongliao in the cabinet The matter was also revealed to the emperor by Cheng Wei, Cheng Wei received this news, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of these people."
"If I want to befriend him, what do you say?" R1152
