Guozijian.

Guozijian is located near Andingmen, adjacent to the Confucian Temple, and the cypress trees in the prison are towering, solemn and quiet.

The plaque in the middle of the hall is written with the four big characters of "Yahan Yule", and on both sides are the "six halls" of Guozijian, Wang Xiao and Qin Xuance were assigned to the frank hall after being examined.

Today's talk is about "The Book of Rites", and the old gentleman in front of the hall shook his head and kept talking, but from the first sentence "Mourning the prince asked Confucius what the great gift is", Qin Xuance has already wandered the world.

Although he is the most learned person in the Qin family, he only understands some poetry, and he is the most annoying to the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Why are we here?" Qin Xuance lowered his voice and asked Wang Xiaoxiao.

No one answered.

Turning his head, Wang Xiao was already lying on the low desk and falling asleep......

This day is extremely long for Qin Xuance.

Finally got out of school, feeling that he had finished his life, Qin Xuance pushed Wang Xiao awake, and asked again with some anger: "Why are we here?" ”

"Didn't you get kidnapped by that old man?" Wang Xiao yawned.

Qin Xuance said: "I can hammer that old man away with one punch, will I be afraid of him?" ”

"People have His Majesty's will."

"Why does he have His Majesty's will?"

Wang Xiao has a red mark on his face, which is quite cute. It's a pity that there are only some nerd scholars here, and there are no girls.

He rubbed his eyes and said sleepily, "I'll talk about it later, I guess they're going to take us to the dormitory." ”

Sure enough, while they were talking, a servant came and led them to the room.

This room is a six-person room, the bed is simple, there are some books and the four treasures of the study scattered everywhere, and there is a faint smell of feet in the room.

The clerk said, "Someone will bring you food in a moment," and turned to go out.

Wang Xiao opened the window and looked, and sure enough, someone was guarding outside the room.

"Look, you still want us to go to prison, you don't want us to leave."

Qin Xuance sneered: "Can you keep it?" Let's go, I'll take you out now. ”

Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, "If you run away on the first day and save Your Majesty's face, it will be difficult to do the rest of the matter." ”

"What do you mean?"

"That old man has a holy decree, which means that His Majesty also means to let me stay in the Guozijian honestly. But I have made it clear to Your Majesty that he should not have imprisoned me. Wang Xiao smiled helplessly, and said slowly: "It seems that I made an analogy in front of the emperor and moved the old man." ”

"Impressed?"

"Thinking about it, there should be someone who doesn't want me to do things in Beijing, so he made a statement to His Majesty, and the reason used is probably to let me avoid it at this cusp."

Qin Xuance said: "I still don't understand, what do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty agreed to let me be imprisoned because he wanted to protect me, but he didn't want to provoke those powerful people to make trouble, understand?"

"I guess I understand."

Wang smiled and said: "If we escape, we have failed Your Majesty's good intentions and brought about our own destruction." Do you understand? ”

Qin Xuance said: "That is, you didn't convince Your Majesty?" ”

"It was convincing. But there are others who take advantage of the trend and make my purpose backfire. The other party pretended to protect me under the pretense of His Majesty, but in fact he wanted to detain me. ”

"Who?"

"Civil Officer."

"Why civilians?"

"At first glance, the method of handing over thousands of dollars is the handwriting of civil officials. The purpose is not to kill me, it should be to stir up the situation. ”

Qin Xuance asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

He lowered his voice and said, "It won't be the Divine ......."

"It's not." Wang said with a smile: "The battle for military power is not such a gentle means, the other party should be to obstruct the epidemic prevention." ”

"Why do civil officials obstruct epidemic prevention?"

"Because the plague is basically the refugees and the lower classes of the people who die. However, epidemic prevention harms the interests of these powerful and wealthy people. ”

Qin Xuance frowned and said, "How come?" ”

"The nobles were well dressed, their houses were clean, their bodies were strong, they had the money to administer medicine, and very few died of the disease. At the same time, a large number of low-class people were infected with diseases, and there were many ownerless fields, not to mention, in order to survive, the people sold their fields and children, or sold themselves as tenants, how much income did they have? The prices of grain and medicinal materials in Beijing have doubled in a day, and some people say that salt and vinegar can cure the plague, and they have also risen sharply in recent days...... There is always a way for these people to strip money. On the contrary, if the epidemic prevention cuts off traffic and prohibits gatherings, business and trade will be blocked, and their interests will be lost. If the King of Qi and I take advantage of this to control the security of the capital, their power will suffer another loss. What's more, they can also understand that the next thing I have to control is the price of food......"

Wang smiled and said, shook his head and smiled, and said: "I have always felt strange before, the reasons why several old ministers in the cabinet are unwilling to come forward to do this matter are a bit far-fetched, but I have slowly figured it out in the past few days. Businessmen, officials, military generals, civil officials, and magnates, this seems to be a circle layer by layer, but in fact, they have mutual interests, they are entangled, and if they are touched, there will be a great counterattack, no wonder Lu Zhengchu said that this matter is not easy to handle. Now it's just the beginning, let me go to prison, the means seem to be mild, but I can guess His Majesty's mind, and someone in the civil service is warning me. ”

Qin Xuance frowned and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"It happened suddenly, and I was caught off guard." Wang Xiao groaned: "This person acts in secret, presumably he is a person who sells his reputation. It should not be a cabinet member...... If they had moved me, they would have done it more powerfully. ”

"Guozijian...... He Zhengxiao ......"

The two suddenly glanced at each other, and said in unison: "He Liangyuan!" ”

Qin Xuance snorted and scolded: "Old thing, I wanted to be him a long time ago." ”

"He Liangyuan acts without a trace, and he doesn't fall into the hands of others, which is a bit interesting." Wang Xiao chuckled.

Qin Xuance asked, "Are you not afraid of making a mistake if you are detained here?" Today, Mr. Fu came over specially to ......"

"With my cousin Mingxuan here, it should be fine." Wang smiled: "We will stay here for another two days, which can be regarded as giving Your Majesty a face." Go back and find a reason to find out. ”

"Two days?!" Qin Xuance was stunned and said, "What if the other party takes advantage of these two days to get King Qi down?" ”

Wang Xiaothief smiled: "They don't know my real plan, once I succeed, I will reduce the dimension to beat them." ”

Qin Xuance was quite disgusted by these strange words in his mouth, and frowned: "Anyway, two days is too long!" I couldn't stay. ”

"Soon, we stayed here just to relax the opponent's vigilance, he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder ......"

The two talked again, and someone brought food.

The food was not poisonous, but it also tasted like chewing wax, mixed with the smell of feet in the house, and the two really had no appetite.

After a while, four prisoners returned, three of whom were excellent students recommended by the state government, and the other was a North Korean.

As soon as the four of them entered the room, they pointed to the two of them and said angrily: "You haven't learned all the four books, five classics and twenty-four histories, how can you enter the hall of spontaneous nature?" ”

Qin Xuance frowned and scolded, "It's your business." ”

The four of them were intimidated by his majesty, and they didn't dare to say much, so they stared at the two of them with a few disdainful eyes, and sat down to read the book.

Qin Xuance raised his head arrogantly, and ate two more mouthfuls of food, he really couldn't stand it, and couldn't help complaining: "It's unpalatable to death." ”

The North Korean then turned around and said: "There is a saying in "Police Fool Auxiliary Education" that you must not make irresponsible remarks about food. ”

Qin Xuance was already in a bad mood, slapped the chopsticks in his hand, and scolded: "You, your mouth and feet stink, either go and wash your feet, or get out." ”

"It's your business." The North Korean replied timidly, but with a very frightened expression on his face.

"Dead Fanyi." Qin Xuance rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up and beat him.

"I, I, I...... I'm learning from you, you shouldn't hit me......"

Wang Xiao saw that the other party's Chinese spoke well, so he pulled Qin Xuance and asked the North Korean, "International students?" Where did you come from? What is your name? ”

"Seoul, Kim Jae-kyu."

Wang Xiao suddenly said: "An brewed Haseyo? ”

Kim Jae-kyu was stunned, and there were a bunch of unintelligible words in his mouth.

"That's what I'll say." Wang Xiao waved his hand, and then asked curiously, "How is your Korean Peninsula now?" Have you been beaten by the Jurchen? ”

Kim Jae-kyu's eyes darkened and he stopped talking.

Wang Xiao pushed his lunch box forward and asked, "Do you want to eat?" Tell me about it after eating. ”

After a while, Jin Jaekui had a meal in a hurry, and then said: "In the fifteenth year of Renjo, that is, in the tenth year of Chu Yanguang, the Jurchens broke through the mountain city of Nanhan and captured our princess and prince......

As he spoke, Kim Jae-kyu suddenly burst into tears.

"Ouch, just say it, don't cry." Qin Xuance jumped away, "Dead Fanyi, you wipe your snot ......"
