Chapter 18: The Name of the Youth
Seeing Chu Shaoyuan's appearance, Liu Mengyan was sure that it had absolutely nothing to do with her.
The trouble she caused would never let Chu Shaoyuan go to the side of the enemy.
However, Liu Mengyan didn't plan to ask, the affairs in the court were not for her to intervene, although she still had a small official position.
"Liu Mengyan, come here." When Liu Mengyan was about to bypass her father and leave without seeing anything, Chu Shaoyuan opened her mouth and stopped her.
Could it be because she skipped her companion reading today, and Chu Shaoyuan was angry? That's impossible, how could such a trivial matter be taken to heart by Chu Shaoyuan.
"Father." Liu Mengyan walked over with a puzzled expression.
"This morning, the Holy Lord was critically ill, and today there is no prince in the Holy Dynasty. In short, you stay away from those princes and princesses. Don't let the river get mixed in. Chu Shaoyuan didn't hesitate much, and told Liu Mengyan to hear this.
It just so happened that Liu Mengyan and Chu Jiangliu were both studying in the palace, and the Chu family and Zuo Xiangfu could not help either side, and Mingzhe would protect themselves, but the Chu family sisters and brothers who were closest to those royal heirs may not be, they are still young, and they may be fooled.
"What about the Six Princes?" Liu Mengyan didn't understand what Chu Shaoyuan meant, most likely because she was afraid that the battle for imperial power would intensify due to the old emperor's critical illness, and there would only be one person who could ascend to the throne, and the rest would not end well.
However, from the very beginning, she Liu Mengyan was involved in Jin Wei, and it was not something she could get out of if she wanted to. “
"The wedding period is still far away, and before marrying into the royal family, it is also a little far away from the six princes." Chu Shaoyuan thought, the holy decree is the holy decree, but the sixth prince is like that, he doesn't want Liu Mengyan to marry him, and sooner or later he has to find a way to break the marriage contract.
"What about King Jin?" When Liu Mengyan asked this question, Chu Shaoyuan paused for a moment.
Jin Ruyu's existence is too special, and everyone in the world thinks that if he wants to be called emperor, it is impossible not to be emperor, even if he is not the emperor, it cannot change the fact that he is powerful. But the world also thinks that Jin Ruyu has no ambition to be the emperor, after all, he has only been back from the mountains for a long time, and he has been in the mountains for so many years, how can such a person covet the throne.
"The farther away from King Jin, the better, and never get close to him." After a while, Chu Shaoyuan said with a calm face.
"Father has a point." Liu Mengyan learned from Chu Shaoyuan's serious appearance and nodded in agreement.
Looking at Liu Mengyan's fake and serious appearance, Chu Shaoyuan's serious face couldn't help but soften.
"Since it makes sense, you should remember it."
"What about companions?" Liu Mengyan also wanted to stay away from that group of princes and grandchildren, it was not her own will to enter the palace, and the holy decree that accompanied her could not be regarded as child's play.
"Of course you have to go to the companion reading, if you don't have to go to the companion reading, why do you need to tell you these things for the father."
"I'm confused when you say that, how can you do it if you want to read with you and not get close."
"It's just to take care of yourself, get less involved in messy things, and don't get into any trouble."
Liu Mengyan theorized with Chu Shaoyuan, but in the end she didn't come up with anything.
When Fang You, who had also followed Liu Mengyan and acted as a transparent person all day long, stepped into the courtyard with Liu Mengyan today, he opened his mouth once, "The little boy who is in the Yueyue Tower today seems to have very strong martial arts. ”
"Strong martial arts?" Liu Mengyan was actually quite surprised to hear this statement from her guard Fang You, and couldn't help but chuckle, "If he knows martial arts, can he still be so weak that he faints from the cold?" ”
"A man cannot be a person, although he is weak, but he does have deep internal strength." Fang You disagreed with Liu Mengyan's statement and retorted.
"The internal force is deep and a ghost, I have taken his pulse, and there is no half of the internal force at all."
"You don't have internal strength, how do you know if he has it."
"Shut up, I'm the master who listens to me!"
After a rainy day, Kyoto Castle ushered in another sunny day, and it was already winter, but the sun was shining, so it didn't seem too cold today.
Liu Mengyan got up early and took Chu Jiangliu to the Royal Academy together.
As soon as the third princess and the fifth prince saw Liu Mengyan, their faces darkened, and they couldn't wait to get up and leave immediately.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." When Liu Mengyan saw the looks of these two people, she couldn't help but smile and stepped forward.
Although Chu Shaoyuan told him to keep a distance from this group of people, the third princess and the fifth prince still owed unpaid, so she was unwilling to let these two people go easily.
"Liu Mengyan, needless to say! Princess Ben knows what you want to do! If you go and bring Jin Fu here, this princess will naturally abide by the agreement! "The third princess has a bad temper, but since she can't hide, she won't cheat.
"That is, as long as you can bring Jin Fu here, this king will also abide by the gambling agreement!" When the fifth prince saw that the third princess said this, he was not good at playing any tricks, so he followed.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a figure appeared outside.
"You don't have to come to me, I'm already here."
The person who came was Jin Wu, who had never shown his face in the Royal Academy, stepping into the threshold that he did not dare to step on in the past, and he seemed calm and calm at this moment.
He took more than this step, once he began to change, he had no way out, not the weakest, but desperately trying to become the strongest.
Especially yesterday, the old emperor's critical illness made the people in the palace panic, whether they wanted to ascend the throne or not, if they didn't have enough strength, it would be impossible to survive in the following days.
Jin Wo came, the expressions of the third princess and the fifth prince were also quite exciting, it was really early or late, it was just the right time.
Liu Mengyan looked Jin Fu up and down, and saw that the place where he was injured was basically the same, and because of his poor body, his recovery was slower than ordinary people.
"Without further ado!" Liu Mengyan stretched out her hand to the third princess and the fifth prince.
"Wait a minute." But at this time, Jin Xuan spoke.
Liu Mengyan raised her eyebrows, waiting to hear what Jin Chao wanted to say.
"In exchange, you owe me a condition than humiliating you, and you cannot refuse me when I ask you to do something in the future." After Jin Ji finished saying his thoughts, he immediately looked at Liu Mengyan and said apologetically: "Miss Chu, it is obvious that you fought for me, but I am good at asserting and living up to your kindness." ”
Liu Mengyan shook her head, she didn't feel anything wrong with Jin Wei's approach.
Let the third princess and the fifth prince be humiliated in order to give Jin Woe a prestige, and Liu Mengyan wants to use this to help Jin Wo. However, compared with a promise made by the third princess and the fifth prince, the latter must be more worthwhile, and Jin Wei made an extremely wise mystery.
The third princess and the fifth prince were not stupid enough not to know this account, and the humiliation was temporary, but a promise that could not be refused, it would be Jin Yu who asked them to do something difficult, and it was better to lower their heads. However, they are already noble and arrogant, but they actually have only one choice, even if they know the stakes and interests, they must choose according to Jin Wu's wishes.
"Change, change. But if you ask the king to do anything that is unconscionable, he will never agree. The Fifth Prince said.
"Fifth Emperor Brother, don't worry, I won't let you do that kind of thing." Jin Xuan said as he looked at the third princess.
"Alright then, swap." The third princess naturally could only agree.
The master who was teaching walked in from outside, looking a little strange.
It turned out that the Royal Academy welcomed a rare guest today.
When Jin Ruyu stepped into the school hall with an indifferent face, the school was so quiet that he could hear the breeze outside the window for a while, and almost everyone was so frightened that they held their breath.
For the royal children, the meaning of Jin Ruyu's existence is quite special, unlike ordinary people who admire Jin Ruyu, the descendants of the Jin family are all a little afraid of Jin Ruyu.
All the princes and princesses present have to call Jin Ruyu an uncle, but no one dares to shout rashly, not because they don't respect him, but because they are afraid that Jin Ruyu will disdain him.
The children of the official family who came to accompany him were more curious about Jin Ruyu, most of them had never seen Jin Ruyu, but they didn't need to recognize him, and they also knew that he had an unusual identity at this time. “
Since the unhappy breakup the day before yesterday, Liu Mengyan didn't want to see Jin Ruyu again, and she felt quite embarrassed to see her at this time.
"Sister, why is His Royal Highness King Jin here?" Chu Jiangliu, who was sitting next to Liu Mengyan, couldn't help but bump Liu Mengyan's arm and asked.
"How do I know?" Liu Mengyan replied perfunctorily.
"His Royal Highness King Jin said that he also wanted to come to listen to the lessons of the Royal Academy, and His Royal Highness doesn't have to care about His Royal Highness King Jin." The master wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and spoke.
How can this mean that if you don't care, you can't care, and it's not an ordinary person, it's a legend that is rarely seen, whether it's with fear or admiration, as long as he Jin Ruyu stays in this room, it's hard to ignore his existence.
Hearing the master's introduction, several Miss Gongzi who accompanied the reading finally knew the identity of the person who came, and was so frightened that they hurriedly saluted Jin Ruyu, and after the salute, they didn't dare to come out, and the atmosphere in the school became even more tense.
Liu Mengyan lowered her eyes and didn't look at the person standing in the front.
But Jin Ruyu's gaze fell straight on Liu Mengyan, he came to the Royal Academy for some reason to do something, it was nothing more than to find Liu Mengyan.
Liu Mengyan didn't feel Jin Ruyu's gaze, but she didn't respond, Jin Ruyu is so powerful, no matter what means he uses, she can't be deceived by him.
"Miss Chu, are you okay?" Jin Wu, who was sitting behind Liu Mengyan, couldn't see Liu Mengyan's expression, but as soon as he saw Jin Ruyu coming, he became worried.
He didn't know if anything had happened in the past two days after Liu Mengyan left, and now he was not qualified to know what was happening to Liu Mengyan every day, so he could only wait for Liu Mengyan to come to see him and tell him.
"How could anything happen to me." Liu Mengyan turned her head and replied after facing Jin Qiu.
"Miss Chu, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you and His Royal Highness King Jin wouldn't ......"
Jin Wu didn't finish his words, and was interrupted by Liu Mengyan, Liu Mengyan looked at Jin Wu seriously, and said: "How is His Royal Highness King Jin, how is my relationship with His Royal Highness King Jin, these are not important, it's just that you, the injury is far from healing, but you still came to the Royal Academy, which makes me very distressed." ”
"Miss Chu, don't worry, I'm fine, it's just some skin injuries, and I've had more serious injuries than this before." Jin Ji said that it was okay, but he couldn't hide the happy smile on his face.
When no one cared, all his pain could only be endured silently, but now with Liu Mengyan's concern, he felt that these pains no longer needed to be endured, and it didn't hurt much at all.
"How dare you tell me this, you told me to protect yourself, and you told me about the worse situation before?" Liu Mengyan looked at Jin Wu's little face with a beaming appearance, and stretched out her hand to flick his head.
Jin Yu snorted softly in pain, covered his forehead with his hand, and his face bulged, but soon regained his grinning look.
Liu Mengyan smiled helplessly, she was still a twelve-year-old child.
But at the moment when Liu Mengyan taught Jin Wo, a shadow fell from behind her.
As soon as Liu Mengyan turned around, she found that Jin Ruyu had walked behind her at some point.
And in addition to Jin Ruyu, the eyes that moved with Jin Ruyu naturally moved to her.
Liu Mengyan's face turned dark, "What does His Royal Highness King Jin have to do?" ”
Jin Ruyu didn't speak, just silently bypassed her and walked to sit down next to Jin Yu.
The so-called next to Jin Woe, that is her oblique back.
Originally, she only sat behind Jin Wu, and she didn't have any special feelings, but at this moment, behind her was Jin Ruyu and Jin Wu, and she always had a sense of crisis that would explode at any time, which made her sit still.
Compared with her, Jin Wu seemed more calm. The smile on Jin Qiu's face did not subside, but he sat up straight silently.
When the school fell into a strange silence again, the master opened his mouth to break the silence in order to teach his profession.
"The ancients had clouds, monarchs, and sources, and the source was clear, and the source was turbid. If the monarch is not virtuous, the world is in danger. "Although the master is the master, he actually doesn't dare to really stand up as a teacher in front of this group of heavenly nobles.
The current emperor is critically ill, and the most promising princes are not in this royal academy, but it does not mean that this group of princes and princesses will be spared from the battle for the throne. Even if he, the master, had something to say, it depended on whether these students would listen to him, so he simply didn't say anything, just reasoned about it.
"Master, what is wise?" It's rare that someone in the audience asks a question.
It's just that the person who asked the question is actually Jin Woe, which makes people can't help but scoff.
"The master said that he should be wise for the king, and he should not let him be wise and wise, and ask what nonsense." The fourth princess was the first to speak sarcastically.
"That's right, it's the first time he's coming to the academy, so he may be very motivated, and he wants to show himself in front of the master."
"Hahaha-" After the four princesses, everyone laughed one by two.
The third princess and the fifth prince also healed the scars and forgot the pain, and followed to taunt Jin Wu.
Liu Mengyan glanced back at Jin Wo worriedly, but Jin Wo looked very calm, his expression remained unchanged, and his eyes also looked at the master's side, waiting for the master's answer seriously.
Compared with Jin Wu, it was Jin Ruyu on the side of Jin Wu, as soon as she saw her turn around, she stared straight at her, with grievances in her eyes, which made Liu Mengyan can't help but get goosebumps.
It was the first time that the master was asked so seriously by a student in this royal school, not a teasing question, and he was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.
"A wise person is talented and virtuous, who does not listen to or believe partially, who governs the country by kings, who is good at listening to the opinions of wise men, and who can discern the words of villains. What the people want, is what the king thinks, so that the world can be leveled. The master quickly organized the language and replied.
"Then how can we be pro-virtuous and far from villainous? The words of virtuous ministers and villains often sound reasonable, how can you distinguish which is the advice of loyal ministers. Jin Xuan continued to ask.
This is the most difficult thing for this group of half-grown princes and grandchildren, which of the people in the palace is not a human spirit, what these individuals say, if it is a lie, it must also be true, and there are very few traitors who can be seen through at a glance.
Although the Master is a scholar who asks questions, he does not dare to answer such questions easily, and if the methods he gives him do not work, he will become a villain.
"This needs to start from self-cultivation, to enrich one's knowledge, to increase one's own experience, in order to practice the discerning eye of others." The Master can only give a false answer. “
"Master, self-cultivation, how should I cultivate?" The master wanted to fool the past, but Jin Yu wanted to break the casserole and ask the end, and he couldn't accept such a vague answer.
As soon as he was asked, the Master could not give an answer, and this question could not be prevaricated like the previous question.
"His Royal Highness King Jin has been cultivating in the mountains for eight years, and the six princes might as well ask His Royal Highness King Jin for advice on this issue." The master quickly came up with a strategy to deal with it and pushed the problem to Jin Ruyu.
If Jin Ruyu answers, then everyone present wants to hear this answer. After all, His Royal Highness King Jin has always been mysterious, and there are still many people who are curious about what kind of person he is.
Jin Ruyu glanced at Jin Zhuo, and said lightly: "This king does not agree with what the master said, since ancient times, the so-called virtuous still depends on whether the result is good or bad, so in fact, as long as it is successful, it is virtuous." ”
The master was dumbfounded, but the others in the school all showed a look of agreement.
These young men and girls with the blood of the emperor in their bones are different from their masters. The master is a master who only talks about the truth, and the princes and princesses also have their own set of standards in their hearts, learning is not just about learning in this school, life in the palace actually teaches them more things.
"What Uncle Huang said is very true, nephew remember." Jin Yu looked at Jin Ruyu with a sudden look.
But in the face of Jin Wu's affirmation, Jin Ruyu suddenly blackened his face, became a king and lost a villain, and only looked at the results, so Liu Mengyan suspected him and protected Jin Wu, he could only blame himself for not having a good calculation.
However, this victory and defeat is far from over here, if you want to win or lose, the person who wins in the end must be him. What he didn't say was that defeat in the process was not defeat, and the real winner was the one who laughed to the end, right?
