Xiang'er opened her mouth to agree, but was pulled by Ling'er, and she turned her head to look at it in confusion, and then as if she remembered something, her ruddy face instantly darkened because of excitement, Kong Wensheng saw this scene, and did not speak, still looking at the two calmly.

"Thank you, sir, Xiang'er and I are very willing to worship you as a teacher, but we don't have the qualifications to practice extreme martial arts, and there are rules in the palace, so we can't just go out of the palace and listen to the teachings."

Kong Wensheng smiled and waved his hand: "In terms of qualifications, you don't have to mind, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, as long as the foundation is laid, it is the best qualification." ”

"But we haven't practiced extreme martial arts since we were children, and we don't have any foundation." Xiang'er couldn't help but ask, still with a little bit of expectation in her heart.

"Although you have not practiced extreme martial arts, you have been under the influence of extreme martial arts, like an ever-expanding blank paper, others are expanding while writing, but you are still a blank paper that can be written at will, which is why I am looking for you, the cultivation conditions of 'Twin Spirits • Dark Fragrance Ying' are very harsh, not only do you need two people with the same mind, but more importantly, you need to return to the basics and start from scratch."

Xiang'er glanced at Ling'er in surprise, and said in unison: "That ......"

Kong Wensheng waved his hand and interrupted their questioning: "Naturally, you don't have to worry about the palace, let the old man come forward to speak." ”

Suppressing the excitement in their hearts, Ling'er and Xiang'er got up together and knelt down in front of Kong Wensheng, and bowed to the master three times: "Apprentice to see Master." ”

Jin Ran smiled on the side, in fact, he had already sobered up from the enlightenment, but he didn't bother, and when he saw the second daughter apprentice, he couldn't help but congratulate: "Congratulations to the two sisters, 'Twin Spirits • Dark Fragrance Welcome' is Mr. Pressing the bottom of the box, I asked him for it, but he was reluctant to give it." ”

Kong Wensheng heard that Jin Ran was teasing himself in front of his two newly recruited apprentices, he blew his beard and glared at his eyes: "Bastard boy, the old man has taught you less?" I haven't seen you mix tea and pour water for the old man. ”

Jin Hong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, how can this old man not open any pot, he didn't take him seriously at the beginning, but now he also respects him, he is better than his own old man, so he almost called him grandpa.

Usually as long as this issue is mentioned, the old and the young have to talk for a long time, today it may be that Kong Wensheng has accepted two new apprentices, and he doesn't bother with Jinhong, so he turned back to Xiang'er and Ling'er and said: "If there is nothing else important outside the palace, go back to the palace with me, it just so happens that I also have something to say to Changfeng." ”

"I'll go, I'll go!" Jin Hong actively raised his hands.

……

The group was driving in a carriage on the Vermilion Bird Street to the palace, Jinhong shook the horsewhip in his hand with a depressed face, listening to the chatter between Kong Wensheng and the second daughter in the carriage, and couldn't help but interject two sentences from time to time, and his heart was full of resentment: "This old man is definitely revenge, the Bodhisattva bless you don't meet acquaintances, otherwise I, the head of the four great gentlemen in the capital, will really be shameless to mix in this Yanjing City again." ”

Muttering all the way, I unconsciously arrived in front of the Suzaku Gate, but I saw that the captain in charge of guarding today was a new face, probably just transferred, and the guards at the door recognized Jinran, but they were all surprised who was sitting in this car, and they could let Jinran drive in person, and the captain in charge of the guard stepped forward to say hello, Jinhong just covered his face with his hands, and snorted twice in response to it.

Du Wei was a little puzzled, just wanted to ask Jin Hong if he was uncomfortable, whether he needed help, but the other party whipped him and signaled him to get out of the way, for Jin Hong's rudeness, Du Wei was a little angry in his heart, and hugged his fists and said: "May I ask if there is anyone in Jin Gongzi's car, if so, please show up, after all, this is the duty of the humble position." ”

"Hey... You! Jin Hongxin said that this newcomer was so blind, thinking that when he entered and exited this palace gate as if he was his own home, how could anyone put his beak in the mouth, but then again, since others are guarding this Suzaku Gate, it is indeed their duty, and he was rude just now, so he got out of the car and hugged his fists at the captain and said: "I was rude just now, and the two personal maids of Mr. Kong Wensheng Kong and Princess Changfeng were in the car." ”

Seeing that Jinhong actually compensated himself, Du Wei instantly felt a little helpless, he had only heard that An Pingjun's son was the head of the four great gentlemen of Yanjing, and he thought it was really the kind of noble son of a family whose eyes were higher than the sky, and I saw it today, I am afraid that some rumors are not credible, Jinhong's voice fell, and two shadows got out of the car with an old man, in fact, it is not accurate to say that it is an old man, because he has no old age on his body except for his white hair, his body is tall and bright, The vitality of the body is suddenly stronger than that of young people.

Seeing the old man, Du Wei's expression became extremely serious and serious, because the life deeds of the old man in front of him can be described as a legend, the patriarch of the three dynasties, when the emperor of the dynasty, his life was frank and upright, although he was in the officialdom, but he was indifferent to fame and fortune, and was regarded by the whole country as a model for the world's scholars, and the master of Confucianism, if there was really a contrast to set off his status, it was An Pingjun, the most powerful man in Yan today, saw him and had to give three points of courtesy, stepped forward and hugged his fists, and saluted very respectfully in front of the old man: "The humble Shangguan Yu has seen Mr. Kong." ”

Kong Wensheng said casually: "The little general has worked hard. ”

Although it is just ordinary words, in fact, Kong Wensheng has more praise for this Shangguan Yu in his heart, he is neither humble nor arrogant, no sycophancy, no flattery, and he is a talent that can be created.

Seeing the carriage drive into the palace, Shangguan Yu let out a long breath, to say that he met this heavyweight on the first day of his errand, he was not nervous, it was a lie, he sorted out his mood, and the voice of the soldiers under his command came to his ears: "Boss, you seem to be quite nervous." ”

Glancing at the soldier who spoke, he angrily said, "When you see your idol, can you not be nervous?" ”

"That's right, didn't you notice that a few of us were as straight as this gun just now."

"Okay, okay, be serious, just on a bad day, please drink at night, count me in."

……

If you want to say that today's Yan Kingdom, people who can enter the palace casually without being summoned by today's saints, Jinhong is counted as one, his Laozi Anpingjun is counted as one, and the other is Kong Wensheng, just after Kong Wensheng entered the palace, there was an attendant who trotted all the way to pass the news to Yan Shuyi, who was still angry in the imperial study.

Emperor Yan Jin, who learned the news, didn't care about the half-thunder, and ran to the direction of the palace gate to greet him, and saw the white-haired Kong Wensheng from a distance, Yan Shuyi couldn't help but feel a little sad, and after careful calculation, he and this gentleman had not seen each other for many years, and there were still a few strands of green silk on his head at the beginning, but now they are all frost white.

Trotted all the way up to meet him, maybe he hadn't seen him for many years, when he really stood in front of Kong Wensheng, he didn't know how to say for a while, and Yan Shu, who had been snorting for a long time and tears in his eyes, expressed his complicated feelings with a deep bow.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, this disciple of his own, what he shoulders and bears, what he endures in his heart, although Kong Wensheng has conjectures, but now when he sees Yan Shuyi with his own eyes, he is still faintly frightened, it seems that this burden is about to collapse him.

"Your Majesty, I was still a young man back then, and a few years have passed, and I will see you again today, which is quite an imperial atmosphere, and the country is very lucky."

Yan Shuyi smiled bitterly and sighed: "Sir, come with me, I will have a long talk with Mr. today." ”

Kong Wensheng originally planned to come to Changfeng, but now that he saw Yan Shuyi, he changed his mind, and Jin Hong on the side seemed to understand his thoughts, and said loudly: "Then Mr. will go with Brother Shuyi, let's go to the third sister to wait for you first, and inform her by the way." ”

"Well, Xiao Hongzi, you go first, just tell Changfeng, sir, I'll occupy it first." As he spoke, he took the initiative to come over and hold Kong Wensheng's hand and squeezed Jinhong to the side.

Jin Hong pouted, snorted and said, "You are too anxious, and you are not a girl's family robbing the father-in-law." ”

Yan Shuyi, who was helping Kong Wensheng to walk forward, heard Jinhong's analogy, stumbled under his feet and almost fell, and Xiang'er and Ling'er next to him couldn't help but laugh "poof". The people around were also amused by Jinhong's words, but they could only hold it back, who dared to openly mock His Majesty the Emperor.

Yan Shuyi glared at Jin Hong fiercely: "Go and play in the mud." ”

The attendants all laughed secretly in their hearts, and at the same time, they also knew that the picture in front of them was not to say how amiable and approachable His Majesty Dayan was today, but only the prince of the Jin family, Princess Changfeng and the prince of Liang who was far away at the border had this treatment.

He laughed at His Majesty without any scruples, but His Majesty only laughed and cursed.

"What's the spirit, let's see how Mr. trains you in a while." muttered a few words in a low voice, turned to the two girls beside him and said, "Ling'er Xiang'er, let's go." ”

The news of Kong Wensheng's entry into the palace also reached Changfeng's ears through the inner attendant, but only because the Chenghua Palace where she lived was located in the depths of the palace and was still far from the palace gate, so when she walked halfway, she was stopped by Jinhong who met on the road.

Speaking of this, Yan Shuyi retired from the attendants around him, and accompanied Kong Wensheng to walk and chat aimlessly in the palace, this scene made Kong Wensheng also touched, the people around him were still yellow-mouthed children, missing two front teeth, and they were by his side as they are now, but Yan Shuyi was not so quiet at the beginning, when he walked around, he would run around him, and when he stopped talking to him, he would look up at himself, and kept asking in a childish accent: "Why, sir?" Sir, why is that? Why? ”

Rao is his own good temper, and he can't help but want to pick up this guy and slap his ass twice.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing, causing Yan Shu beside him to wonder and say, "Why is Mr. laughing?" ”

Kong Wensheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just remembered the events of the past, at that time, His Majesty was still a child with two missing front teeth, jumping up and down, always with 'why' on his lips, compared to the good son who is standing in front of the old man now, so he thought he was laughing." ”

"It's rare that Mr. Shu remembers the things when he was a child." As if he was reminded of his heart again, he sighed: "Alas, when I first met my husband, I was seven years old, and my father went the next year. ”

Although Kong Wensheng is a little unruly, he has been praised by the current emperor so much, and he also said: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, but I really dare not take it." ”

Yan Shuyi continued his narration, in fact, he really didn't think of using these words to praise Kong Wensheng, just a description of his inner feelings: "Sir, don't be humble, in my heart, Sir is like a father, unlike someone in the court, who thinks that if he has been my teacher, he can exercise the power of my father." ”

Kong Wensheng was introspective, and naturally knew who Yan Shuyi was talking about: "In fact, An Pingjun is not a disobedient person, if not, it would be impossible to support His Majesty until now, but he has not done anything out of the ordinary." ”

"But in today's court, it is like his Jinran's words, he made a word, the ministers echoed, and I made a plan, but he was refuted by him, if it weren't for the dragon chair that I needed the emperor to sit on, I am afraid that this Dayan's court meeting would have no place for me."

Yan Shuyi's emotions gradually became a little excited, because of his identity, he couldn't put these words on the surface to others, nor could he complain in front of others, and now in the face of Mr. who has been extremely dependent since he was a child, the resentment buried in his heart over the years is like an erupting volcano at this time, becoming more and more violent.

Listening to Yan Shuyi's venting of resentment in his heart, Kong Wensheng lamented in his heart, these years of the Great Yan Dynasty have stained the clear pearl of the year, and it will be difficult to make him clear again.

After listening to so much, he probably understood what Yan Shuyi was thinking in his heart, and understood the purpose of his appointment to meet him: "Your Majesty wants to take back the supreme artifact of Great Yan from An Pingjun's hands?" ”

Sure enough, Yan Shuyi asked to hear this, his eyes instantly shone with brilliance, and a faint hint of pride appeared on his face: "Now that the imperial power is falling, the country will not be a country, and the book is brave for the people of the world, and I beg Mr. to give him a clear and clear future!" ”

Kong Wensheng stared at Yan Shuyi, but in the other party's eyes full of expectation, he didn't say a word for a while. After all, they have been together for many years, and seeing the sadness in Kong Wensheng's eyes, Yan Shuyi couldn't help but feel sad, turned around and came to Kong Wensheng, just when the other party was puzzled, Yan Shuyi suddenly knelt on his knees.

"Your Majesty, why is that? Absolutely not. ”

Yan Shuyi ignored his dissuasion, and said: "Mr. once told Shuyi that everyone has their own way, if Shuyi is a mortal, he will not want to mess with this deceitful court, but I was born in this emperor's family; Ruoshu thought that he was an idle king, and he didn't want to provoke this court that was fighting against each other, but I sat on this dragon chair; If Shuyi is only the carpenter emperor who cares about the lives of the people, he will never have a gap with this filthy court again, but I can't do it. ”

Yan Shuyi fell like a steel ball on Kong Wensheng's heart, and he forgot to continue to dissuade Yan Shuyi, just holding his hand and listening quietly, listening to what he has experienced over the years, and feeling the helplessness he has encountered over the years.

"The family and the country in the world, Shuyi has never understood what kind of concept these words are in Mr.'s heart, but in Shuyi's heart, the world can live together, but the country cannot coexist, there is still a struggle between people, not to mention the country, but the struggle between countries must be you live and die, endlessly, it may be a few years, it may be decades, or even hundreds of years, the winner is the main, and the loser is a slave, so now that Shuyi is sitting on the dragon chair of this big Yan, he is responsible for the chair under me, and is responsible for the bloodline of my Yan family, responsible for the people of Li in my Dayan, this is my own way that I have learned in books over the years. ”

Yan Shuyi's words seemed to be finished, Kong Wensheng's heart seemed to be empty, and there was something like a kite with a broken string, which was not involved with him, and said in a deep voice:

"The road to the emperor is bumpy, and what you want to walk is the domineering of the emperor's solitude, the old man really has nothing to guide you, only a gift."

He beckoned to Yan Shuyi, signaled his ear to come over, said a few words to him, and then got up and said: "This gift can save your life in times of crisis, and it can also be regarded as a good fruit for you and me to share the relationship between master and apprentice, the old man still has to go to Changfeng, Your Majesty is busy with affairs, so I won't bother much." ”

"Sir......" Hearing that Kong Wensheng was leaving, Yan Shuyi hurriedly said that he wanted to stay, but after a long time, he still changed the words that came to his lips:

"Mr. is going, I don't know how long it will take to see you again, although the book can't go with Mr. in this life, but Mr. will always be the gentleman of the book, the king is domineering, it must be a lonely road, if Mr. has time, please don't forget the disciples in this deep palace."

Kong Wensheng stroked Yan Shuyi's bun, as if he was a child, and said, "Your Majesty cherishes it." ”

The lust for power in this world is the quagmire of the swamp, as long as you fall into it, it will be difficult to get out, maybe it is the difference that individuals are pursuing, the Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other!

This is the final evaluation that Kong Wensheng left for Yanshu in his heart.
