Chapter 36: Cold Salad

"All right, kids. Now, close your eyes and feel ...... with your heart."

As Professor Zhang's voice sounded again, the teenagers and girls on the top of the mountain closed their eyes, and their breathing gradually stabilized.

An Lingsu took a few deep breaths, then gently closed his eyes.

According to the method taught by Professor Zhang before, she tried to "look" at herself......

Because of the time-travel, she has some special abilities to "see" some things happening around her, including the past and the future. Although the time is very short, such an ability is real.

Before, she didn't understand what this was, but today, after listening to Professor Zhang's explanation, she finally understood.

This is a kind of perception, a special kind of perception.

Since she can "see" everything that is happening around her, she can naturally "see" herself!

At this point, An Lingsu is very confident, so she will have the confidence to make this bet with Zhou Yuerong.

Sure enough, in just over ten breaths, An Lingsu felt that there were more meridians in his body, and between those meridians, there seemed to be an invisible and intangible, but seemingly nonexistent aura......

She was happy in her heart, meditated silently, and guided those breaths to slowly converge in the direction of her dantian......

Professor Zhang looked at the children who were gradually settled and nodded slowly.

The foundation of these children is very good. Several of the children have already practiced martial arts, and they should have also practiced true qi......

Professor Zhang's eyes showed satisfaction.

Then, he turned his head to look at a large tree beside him, but he kicked his feet and jumped off the cliff in the wind.

In mid-air, Professor Zhang's figure was like a dragonfly dotting water, dotting on the protrusions on the cliff, but in a few ups and downs, he came to the valley at the bottom of the cliff and swept towards the grove on one side of the valley.

In the depths of the grove, there is a seemingly ordinary farm yard.

At this moment, the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of tea, and several old professors of the academy were sitting at the stone table, discussing something in a low voice.

Hearing the movement behind them, several people looked back at the same time.

"Lao Zhang, you're here. Vice President Wang raised his head and greeted. "What about the kids?"

"Hmm. Professor Zhang nodded and said, "Li San is watching from the other side of the cliff, and he can't do anything." ”

Several of the old professors nodded and stopped talking.

"How's it going?' Is there any news coming?" Professor Zhang asked, sitting down on the stone bench and looking up.

Dean Chen nodded, and then pushed the letter on the stone table in front of Professor Zhang, "Look at it, this is the flying pigeon biography that Zhou Xingxing just sent." ”

Zhou Xingxing is the prime minister of the empire, and the news he sent is naturally extremely valuable.

Professor Zhang picked up the letter paper, looked down and only glanced at it a few times, but couldn't help but change his face slightly, and said "huh" softly.

"The eldest grandson, why are they involved?" Professor Zhang put down the letter and said with some confusion.

The eldest grandson is the descendant family, although the eldest grandson queen died in childbirth after giving birth to the crown prince fifteen years ago. But over the years, the power of the eldest grandson family in the court has not decreased at all, but the foundation is solid, and it has a tendency of "half a dynasty".

What's more, Yun Cheng was the kid back then, but the patriarch of the eldest grandson clan ---- eldest grandson Wujiang personally sent it to Qingyi Academy.

He knew ...... How can you still be involved in this?

This point made Professor Zhang very puzzled.

Professor Zhou of the Department of Liberal Arts took over the conversation.

"Lao Zhang, don't forget, although the eldest grandson queen has passed away, there is still a concubine Liu De in the palace. He said in a deep voice, "The Liu family is the in-law of the eldest grandson's family, and the relationship between the two families has always been close. And today's Concubine Liu De is also the granddaughter of the eldest grandson's family. ”

Professor Zhang nodded.

"Of course, I know about this. However, doesn't it mean that Concubine Liu Defei has not been favored in the palace all these years? In the ten years since she entered the palace, Concubine Liu Defei has never given birth to a son and a half daughter...... Why is it that all of a sudden, the eldest grandson's family is about to make a move?" he asked.

"It should be related to the death of Empress Changsun. Professor An from the Department of Medicine said. "Back then, I personally checked the package of things sent by the eldest grandson Wujiang, and it did contain ****. The death of Empress Changsun should not be an accident. Over the years, the eldest grandson's family has probably been secretly investigating this matter. And, I doubt ......"

"What do you suspect?" asked Professor Zhao from the Department of Military Affairs.

"I suspect that the reason why Concubine Liu Defei has been unfavored all these years is because the purpose of her entry into the palace is to find out the cause of the death of Empress Changsun. And the emperor, apparently, also knew about this. Professor Ann said.

A few of the old professors stopped talking.

Dean Chen sighed.

"Now in the palace and the court, there is indeed some chaos. He said, "Your Majesty has always refused to announce the existence of the crown prince, and those princes in the palace are making trouble for the dispute between the princes, what the hell is he doing!"

"What are you doing?" Professor Zhou said slightly mockingly, "Some people, I'm afraid they have forgotten, how he got on that dragon chair twenty years ago, right?"

"Old Zhou?" Vice Dean Wang frowned and said, "What do you want to say." Your Majesty, he is also a student of our Youth One Academy......"

"The power of the human heart, the emperor's heart, these things, I taught him back then. Professor Zhou smiled coldly and said, "Nowadays, there are many princes and princesses in the palace, but the most outstanding ones are the three princes from Concubine Jin Shu, the five princes from Zhou Guifei, and the six princes from Zhang Jieyu. The rest of the princes are either too young, or they are not from a high background, and their mother family is not prominent......"

When several old professors heard this, they all nodded.

"However, although the talents of these princes are all good, none of them have been sent to our Qingyi Academy. You say, what does the emperor want to do?" Professor Zhou said slowly, "Don't forget, back then, His Majesty Emperor Wu and Qing Qing had an agreement that all the heirs to the throne must be students of Qingyi Academy. ”

Several of the old professors nodded again.

Naturally, they will not forget this. Moreover, they also knew that by doing this gently, they wanted to tie the relationship between the imperial power and the academy closer.

After all, if the emperor is a student of Qingyi Academy, then it will be difficult for the imperial court to refuse some requests from the academy in the future.

You must know that over the years, the reason why the academy has become a holy place for many strong people is that the resources required behind it are incalculable. Not to mention, the rare herbs needed to make the elixir and the rare materials needed to build the spirit soldiers almost depleted the entire treasury inventory.

It can be said that without the strong support of the empire, Qingyi College would not be able to become today's Qingyi College!

Therefore, when he left the palace gently, he made such an agreement with His Majesty Emperor Wu, a secret agreement that only a very few people knew.

"Old Zhou, this shouldn't be understood, right?" Professor Zhao glanced at him and said, "Now, that kid Yuncheng is in our Qingyi Academy, and the other princes naturally don't need to come again......"

"Lao Zhao, you are wrong. Professor Zhou shook his head, "You must know that the only people in this world who know the true identity of Yun Cheng's child are a few of us, as well as the emperor and the eldest grandson Wujiang." The world thought that the eldest grandson queen had a difficult birth, and both mother and child died...... And over the years, His Majesty has been refusing to make public the affairs of the crown prince, and those princes have to fight for trouble, why is this? Now, even the eldest grandson's family has also made trouble, what is this for?"

Professor Zhou said this, and the faces of the rest of the old professors also changed instantly.

"Back then, when I entered the capital, ......," Dean Chen said with some solemnity, "only the eldest grandson clan expressed their support for His Majesty, while the rest of the families either maintained neutrality or had a heart of disobedience...... Even Zhou Xingxing maintained a neutral attitude back then. ”

"Therefore, after Your Majesty successfully ascends the throne, the power of the eldest grandson clan will continue to be deeply rooted, not only becoming a descendant, but also faintly having a half-dynasty trend. Professor Zhou said directly, "But Your Majesty is also a master of great talent, over the years, as an emperor, he has been constrained everywhere, I am afraid that he has long been a little unwilling." So ......"

"So, he wants to use the dispute between the prince and the power of the mother clan behind those princes to fight for power with the eldest grandson family?" Professor Zhao said with some surprise.

"Not bad. Professor Zhou said, "No matter which prince wants to ascend to the crown prince, he must fight for power in the imperial court." However, there are so many powers in the court, how can they fight? Naturally, they want to think of seizing power from the hands of the eldest grandson...... The so-called imperial mind is just the word balance. Now that the eldest grandson's family is powerful, His Majesty will naturally not let it go. ”

"But the eldest grandson clan was kind to him back then, and he was a descendant, so he couldn't make a move openly. Therefore, over the years, he has been unwilling to disclose the existence of the crown prince, just to use the matter of establishing a prince to let the maternal forces behind those princes deal with the eldest grandson's family. Now it seems that this student of ours is really not simple!" said Vice Dean Wang.

Several old professors also nodded.

Moreover, even if the crown prince succeeds to the throne smoothly in the future, in order to curb the power of the descendants and ensure the dominance of the imperial power, the power of the eldest grandson family will definitely be weakened.

"It's not easy. Dean Chen finally said, "Even, I suspect now that the death of Empress Changsun back then may not have anything to do with Your Majesty." Therefore, now the eldest grandson's family should have found some clues, so they will suddenly join in. The purpose of the eldest grandson's attack is probably to force His Majesty to disclose the existence of the crown prince!"

Several old professors also thought of this.

Without the queen, the prince and the grandfather's family will naturally lose a link. Therefore, Empress Changsun died in childbirth.

And back then, the emperor quietly concealed the news that the prince was still alive on the grounds that the palace was not peaceful, and secretly sent him to Qingyi Academy. And the eldest grandson was already suspicious of the cause of the queen's death, and they attached great importance to the crown prince, so they naturally would not disagree.

After all, Qingyi Academy is the safest place in the entire empire.

So, as soon as the prince was born, he was sent to Qingyi Academy, but people in the world thought that he had already died.

That's why there is a big bustle in the capital today.

This is a game, a game between the imperial power and the family, and it is also a game between several princes.

"What about the Academy?" Professor An asked softly when he saw that everyone was silent.

"What should I do?" Dean Chen suddenly thought of something beautiful when he heard this, smiled slowly, and then spit out two words quite easily.

"Cold salad!"

Hearing these two words, all the old professors laughed.

In their minds, such a picture came to mind at the same time.

In the sea of corpses and blood, a girl in white suddenly looked back and smiled, and spit out two words very playfully, "Cold salad." ”
