Qianzi Lake is not big, backed by the imperial palace, a Fubo Garden was built on the south bank, surrounded by the inner official houses and monasteries and Taoist temples, many buildings have not yet been completed, looking from afar, you can see the small figure moving slowly on the high shelf, the shouting faintly came, that is the people on the ground are working together to transport wood, stone and sand.

The Temptation Hall is not only a real science, a few pedants led nearly a hundred students to wait on the grass by the lake, and only after an hour were they allowed to enter the Fubo Garden, from this time, the teachers and students all held their breath and followed the footsteps in front of them, and they didn't even dare to raise their eyelids.

There were a large number of soldiers lined up in Fubo Garden, with bright armor and swords, and a group of scholars walking in it, all trembling.

There is another scene in the park, with red walls and green tiles, grass and trees, and you can't see or hear the people working on the other side.

Everyone was led to an open space, several pedants had small stools to sit on, the students could only stand, and could not move, as early as before departure, some pedants reminded them to drink less water, relieve their hands in advance, and when they arrived at the Fubo Garden of Qianzi Lake, there was no convenient place for them.

The view in the garden was quite good, and after a long time they were tired of looking at it, the students began to talk in whispers, and so they waited for another hour, and it was almost dark, and finally someone came to give the order and led everyone into a very spacious hall.

This time I didn't have to wait long, and in the sound of silk and bamboo, someone loudly announced the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince, and ordered all the teachers and students to kneel down to greet him.

There are many royal rules, but fortunately, there are people to guide them every step of the way, even when to raise their heads and when to get up, they are clearly explained, and then a few pedants take the lead, and the students can just do it.

At the end of the ceremony, the three of them were summoned to the front to receive the prince's consolation, and the other students finally had a chance to peek at the prince.

The prince was a six- or seven-year-old child, thin and small, sitting upright, with no expression on his face and a blank gaze, like a child who had come to a poor relative's house for the first time, and was a little overwhelmed by too many people.

The prince didn't open his mouth during the whole process, and the person who spoke for him was a scribe in his thirties, who was said to be from the East Palace, called Liang Shengzhi, Lou Ji felt that this name was somewhat familiar, and soon remembered that this person was the grandson of Liang Taifu, who wanted to lead troops to Bingzhou to quell the rebellion, but was vetoed by the general.

The first and third class read their articles in public, and Liang Shengzhi, a member of the East Palace, asked a few questions for the three to answer, which took less than two quarters of an hour.

The highlight was the next banquet, when it was already dark outside, a number of servants rushed in, arranged the tables and chairs in order, all the teachers and students kowtowed to thanksgiving, and then sat down separately, one pedant at a table, and two students at a table.

The food and wine appeared on the table like a trick, and the students were already hungry, but they only dared to swallow their saliva and never dare to move.

Liang Shengzhi stayed by the prince's side, raised his glass and ordered, the first cup of wine wished the world peace, the second cup of wine wished the emperor and the empress a long life, and the third cup of wine wished His Royal Highness the prince to change with each passing day.

Just as everyone was drinking the third glass of wine, the prince yawned, which could not be blamed on him, more than a hundred adults drank happily, and only he was bored in the face of a glass of water.

The first three glasses of wine are just the beginning, and soon, teachers and students take turns to toast in order, the number of people is different, or alone, or in groups of three or five, from the moment they get up, they have to abide by many rules, the wide sleeves should hang down just right, the arms must not have obvious shaking, you can not kneel, you can stand with your legs crossed, your upper body bent straight down, the wine in your hands must not be poured because of this, the toast can be long, but it is not allowed to repeat with the predecessors......

Liang Shengzhi still replied and drank on behalf of the prince, and the prince nodded at most, or oh, occasionally drank saliva, and the dishes on the table remained unchanged.

Lou Ji and a group of students came forward to toast, each saying a word of gratitude.

After everyone took a turn, the prince got up, raised the water glass in his hand, and saluted everyone, and then said goodbye, and Liang Shengzhi entertained the teachers and students of the Temptation Academy, of course, these words still came out of Liang Shengzhi's mouth, the prince did not spit out a word, and walked briskly.

The prince left, the atmosphere in the hall became more active, Liang Shengzhi no longer represented the prince, and several officials of the East Palace walked into the crowd, drinking and talking, gradually, everyone also let go, left their seats, toasted everywhere, laughed loudly, and no longer had to abide by any rules.

Lou had to take care of the bookcase, so he didn't drink much, and the scholars over there were not strong enough to drink, and not long after the prince left, he also got up and prepared to say goodbye, but he was forced to press down by several people, and drank a lot.

When he was finally able to get up, the scholar was already stumbling, and Lou Ji hurriedly picked up the bookcase and ran over from the middle of the crowd to help.

"Old, old." Wen Ren Pedant sighed, "I can't do it, I can't drink it anymore, I really can't drink it anymore......"

Fubo Garden arranged a place for everyone to live, and Liang Shengzhi personally sent it to the door, and ordered a handyman outside to send the scholar to the room to rest.

The night is like water, the handyman walks in front with a lantern, and the pedants of the building support the people and scholars follow behind, although it is autumn, the fragrance in the garden is not reduced, and it is drilled into the nose one by one.

When he arrived at the house, he insisted on staying by the lake, and the handyman pointed out the path, and reminded him when he left: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also lives here tonight, and the two of you can go to the pavilion in front of you to sit for a while, and you must not walk around, it is not a joke to bump into the night guards." ”

There is indeed a pavilion by the lake, the terrain is slightly higher than the others, and it is pleasant to stand in it and feel the cool breeze.

Wenren Pedant faced the lake, silently for a long time, Lou Ji was just a disciple, naturally he couldn't speak at will, and stood silently behind the pedant.

The lights on the other side of the lake were bright, but instead of a banquet, many people were rushing to work overnight.

"The ......world is peaceful," muttered the scholar, "how fortunate I am to be able to see this peaceful scene, and this life is enough." ”

The foundation of the building must answer, "After a hundred years, heroes have emerged, only I have been able to unify the country in Tiancheng, from this point of view, the rise and fall are determined by heaven, not manpower." ”

Wen Ren Pedant laughed, turned around and sat on the stone bench, looking up at the foundation of the building, "If there is no manpower, who will build a tall building?" Who played the silk bamboo? Who pays for food and clothing? ”

"If there is no heaven, high-rise buildings will collapse, silk and bamboo will be chaotic, and food and clothing will be lacking."

"Haha, I like to listen to young people say insincere words, and watch you grow up little by little."

Lou Ji's face turned red, and he was about to defend his few clichés, when someone outside the pavilion strode over, and the person arrived before he could speak, "Haha, Mr. Wenren really lied, and he was so drunk that he was deceiving." ”

Wen Ren Pedant got up to greet him and said with a smile: "It's true that I can't drink alcohol, but my way of relieving hangover is different from others, so I have to find an open area to relax my chest." ”

Liang Shengzhi put the wine jug and wine glass on the table, "Since your chest is stretched, you must be able to drink a few more glasses." ”

"Liang Sheren chased a glass of wine, and the old man didn't dare to disobey."

Lou Ji saluted and was about to retreat, but Liang Shengzhi stopped him, "It's better to meet by chance, I still have a cup here." Liang Shengzhizhen took out another wine glass from his arms.

"Disturb." The building had to stay, put down the bookcase, and hold the pot to pour wine.

Liang Shengzhi took advantage of the excitement, but after drinking a glass, he lost interest, held down the wine glass, and signaled that he didn't want to drink anymore.

The three of them didn't speak, and after sitting silently for a long time, Liang Shengzhi suddenly spoke: "I have thought about it carefully, Qinzhou will inevitably be in chaos, and Bingzhou will be in even greater trouble." ”

"Oh?" Wen Ren replied softly, and Lou Ji listened quietly with an attitude that it was not his business.

"General Lan is brave and invincible, but the rebellion in Qinzhou did not stem from rebellion, but from years of famine, coupled with the invasion of officials and violence, forcing the good people to rise up. The situation in the annexation state is just the opposite, but one side of the county claims to rebel, and when it is destroyed in one fell swoop, the imperial court appoints ...... who has never brought troops"

Wen Ren Pedant interrupted Liang Shengzhi, "I forgot to introduce, this is a disciple of the Temptation Academy, surnamed Lou, and his name is based." ”

"The foundation of the Housheng Building has seen Liang Sheren." The building got up and gave it up.

Liang Shengzhi said with a smile: "The surname Lou is rare, is he the son of a general?" ”

"The general is not a son, line seventeen."

"It's just right, after you go home, tell Ling Zun for me, Qin and the two states are in turmoil, and the responsibility lies with him, Shen and Zhou have bad intentions, and I hope the general really doesn't know."

"You've drunk too much, too." Wen Ren pedant reminded.

Liang Shengzhi got up quickly, walked to the railing and looked at the lake for a long time, and sneered: "The general thinks that everyone in the world is blind, I have to let him know that there are still people in the court who can see it clearly: the rebellion in the counties and counties of Bingzhou is fake, and Shen Mushou took the opportunity to support the army; The suppression of bandits in Qinzhou is fake, it breaks people's hearts, and it is true that Shen Mu is left with a place to fight. ”

Hearing that the pedant was silent, Lou Ji said: "There is a public opinion about truth and falsehood, and the general is loyal to the country, but everyone knows it." ”

"Hey, ignorant kid, what do you know? The general really has an idea and will not discuss it with you, if the world is in chaos, your Lou family is the culprit. It's a pity that the ruling princes are either short-sighted, or they are afraid of the power of the generals, and they all keep silent, so that they raise tigers. ”

The more Liang Shengzhi spoke, the more angry he became, he suddenly turned around, grabbed the wine glass and threw it on the ground, and said sharply: "Although the Liang family is in decline, its loyalty has not changed, and I told the general to ask him to guard the palace gate, if I see Your Majesty, I will die to admonish him and expose his conspiracy!" ”

Liang Shengzhi strode out of the pavilion angrily, and didn't even say goodbye to the scholar.

"He really drank too much." Pedant.

"Well, it doesn't matter if he tells the truth, I can't relay these words to the general."

"The people of Liang She originally wanted to lead troops to Bingzhou to quell the rebellion, but they were not in a good mood after being blocked."

"Liang Sheren...... It's a bit like a soldier who has led soldiers. ”

"He just has a bigger temper and thinks very highly of himself, thinking that he is both civil and military, where did he really lead soldiers? It also makes sense that the imperial court did not choose him to merge the state. ”

Lou Ji nodded, not knowing what to say.

Wenren Scholar slowly got up and sighed: "It's only been more than 20 years of peace." ”

"The world has been decided, and the peaceful and prosperous era is still long." Lou Ji persuaded.

"The thieves are easy to flatten, the people's hearts are difficult to recover, there is an article 'using the people to time' is well written, the needle is the disadvantage of the times, just to the point, if it is not for the back of a few dog-tailed mink, it should be ranked first-class."

Lou Ji didn't dare to reply.

Wenren Pedant looked at his disciple, his eyes flashing slightly in the darkness, "You were originally inactive and desireless, but recently you have the intention of moving, what is going on?" ”

Lou Ji was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Disciple...... The disciple's future is hopeless, so he is moved by this, and has no other intentions. ”

"Come, I'll tell you what it means to be 'accountable' so that you know where your loopholes are."
