"Liu Jin, you old slave, hurry up and help me see if there is anyone nearby!" On the wall of the East Palace, there were two figures lying on their stomachs, one of them with pale hair, and the other was young and weak.

At this moment, the two of them were looking inside, looking at the patrolling guards from time to time, and when the guards went out on patrol, the young man lowered his voice and said to the old man.

These two people are Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, after returning from Ma Wensheng's house, the two rushed back as soon as possible, and slipped in when the guard was changing at the palace gate.

"Your Highness, you wait first, and the old slave will go down to explore the way for you." After speaking, Liu Jin leaned on the wall and tiptoed down.

After the patrolling guards passed, Liu Jin took Zhu Houzhao carefully, Liu Jin squatted on the ground and bowed his body into a bent position, and Zhu Houzhao stepped on Liu Jin's back and jumped to the ground.

"Your Highness, there is no one, let's go in." After looking around, Liu Jin said to Zhu Houzhao.

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded, this time he secretly ran out with Liu Jin, and he had to do morning classes tomorrow, if he was found out that he was gone, he would definitely be punished by his father.

The two of them tiptoed out of an inconspicuous corner of the garden, and they didn't even dare to hit the fire fold in their hands, and came to the door of Zhu Houzhao's bedroom in the dark.

"Your Highness, go and rest, the old slave is guarding you outside." Liu Jin said, opening the door for Zhu Houzhao, cautiously, for fear of making any noise.

When he arrived here, Zhu Houzhao was no longer tied, strode into the room, and breathed a long sigh of relief. "Ahh Finally back, those assassins are really crazy, but fortunately they have Li Yan to protect them......"

Suddenly, the lights in the room were bright, and they lit up all of a sudden, and Emperor Hongzhi sat coldly on Zhu Houzhao's bed.

"Smack!" The fire fold in Liu Jin's hand fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty? ”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't see his joy and anger, and stared at Zhu Houzhao. "Go on, how did Li Yan protect you?"

……

…………

The next day, when Li Yan rushed to the East Palace, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him!

In the courtyard of the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao was reciting with an embarrassed face, Liu Jin was lying on a long bench, and the guards on both sides were holding a water and fire stick.

The guards were meticulous, and Liu Jin's buttocks were already stained with blood.

"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is determination, and then there is calmness...... Quiet and then can be safe, and then be safe and then can be considered...... Think about it and then you can get it. Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest. ”

Zhu Houzhao, the little faint gentleman, is stumbling and reciting "The Mean" with his eyes closed.

“…… Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule their country first, and those who want to govern their country will ...... first First...... Govern its people? ”

Back here, Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes and looked at it.

"Oops!" Zhu Houzhao recited a wrong word, the guards were merciless, and directly knocked the water and fire stick in his hand directly on Liu Jin's buttocks, Liu Jin screamed and looked at Zhu Houzhao with expectant eyes.

Zhu Houzhao's face turned green, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and bared his teeth at the guard, who turned a blind eye to Zhu Houzhao's gaze.

The meaning of the guards is obvious, this is the emperor's will for himself, and your prince can't control it!

The root of Zhu Houzhao's teeth is itchy, there is no way, he has to carry it back seriously.

swept his eyes, and suddenly saw Li Yan coming, and his face was immediately happy.

"Huh? Li Yan, you're here! Come and help me, my father punished me for being an article, and if I memorized a wrong word, I would beat Liu Jin! ”

Facing Zhu Houzhao's expectant eyes, Li Yan was just about to speak, but he was directly choked back by the guard's words.

I only heard the cool words of the guards on the side. "Your Majesty has a will, if Li Yan dares to help, he will be treated with Liu Jin!"

Li Yan was sweating, okay, the emperor had expected that he would come......

Li Yan said that he couldn't help, Zhu Houzhao pursed his mouth and continued to recite the article.

"Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts should be sincere...... What does that mean? ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the guard, but the guard didn't move, and Liu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief and gave Zhu Houzhao a grateful look.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao became proud, stared at him and continued to recite without thinking.

"Those who want to be sincere with their intentions should first know it, and then know it more."

"Oops!"

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, scratched his head, and began to recall in his mind what Yang Tinghe had taught him. "Huh? Wrong? Could it be that Zhizhi is reading more?

”

"Oops!"

The guards went down with a stick again.

"Wrong again? Uncle, Zhizhi is listening! The ancients read thousands of books as well as travel thousands of miles! ”

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table happily!

"You can't go wrong this time!" Zhu Houzhao straightened his chest.

Hearing this, the guard held his breath, then let go and looked at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin's face was happy, it seems that His Royal Highness is right this time! Sure enough, the words of the ancients still have to be heard!

"Congratulations to Gonggong Liu, Your Highness ......," the guard said in a long voice.

"By the way?" Liu Jin looked at the guards with blank eyes.

"Hey...... Wrong again! The guards looked fierce.

"Oops!"

…… When the book is used, I hate it less, and the money is not enough to spend at the end of the month.

I don't know which hero researched this sentence, and it is really common everywhere, Li Yan sighed in his heart.

Even an ordinary guard in the palace can memorize the poems and songs, and Zhu Houzhao, the dignified future king of a country, is still so embarrassed to memorize "The Mean", in comparison, he should reflect on it...... If you are a little thin-skinned, it is very appropriate to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river.

"Knowing and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then world peace. From the Son of Heaven to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. Those who are chaotic and end up in the end will not be able to do so. What is thick is thin, and what is thin is thick, and there is nothing. This is called the knowledge of the book, and this is the knowledge of the best. ”

After reading the content of the second paragraph of "The Mean" to Zhu Houzhao with his mouth, Li Yan withdrew from the courtyard of the East Palace and sang leisurely.

"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower is the river, and the upper is the sun; Yu people say Haoran, full of gloom. The royal road is clear, containing and Tuming Court. ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! As soon as Li Yan's voice fell, there was a burst of applause behind him.

"Well sung!" Someone exclaimed in the back.

Li Yan turned his head suddenly, his face changed, and he immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Weichen, I've seen the emperor!"

Could it be that Emperor Hongzhi is a cat? Otherwise, why don't you make any sound when you walk?

"What's the name you just sang?" Emperor Hongzhi was still immersed in the lyrics of Li Yan just now.

"Back to the emperor, it's called "Song of Righteousness"."

"Why have I never heard of it, you did it recently?"

Emperor Hongzhi hummed in his mouth with great interest.

"Back to the emperor,...... Be! Li Yan's face turned red, but the next moment, he immediately replied without thinking.

Li Yan rarely hesitated, after all, it was a work that was late for I don't know how many years, so he just copied it, and I didn't know if Master Wen would directly send a heavenly thunder to kill him in the spirit of heaven......
