The Wenhua Hall is located in the east of the Zuoshun Gate, and the Wuying Hall is far away. Since this is often the place where the prince sees things, the five elements are wood in the east, and the glazed tiles here are green. During the Tianshun and Chenghua years, the prince was here to take charge, and now the prince Zhu Houzhao is young, and he is looking forward to the festival and festivals, that is, he is bowed here by the officials of the East Palace, and the lectures have always been here. Of course, if the emperor wants to summon the cabinet ministers, most of them will summon the cabinet ministers in the Wenhua Palace, such as the one a few days ago, which is a rare event in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

This is Xie Qian's lecture. He has always been the most eloquent person, and he can easily talk about any scripture and meaning, and at this time, he derives a simple sentence in "University", and he talks for a quarter of an hour in one breath. The eyes of the several scholars who were also serving and lecturing on the side were all shining, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but yawn quietly, and then his eyes turned sharply, and when he saw Liu Jin standing behind him, he moved and leaned back.

"Hey, what time is it?"

"Your Highness, it should be almost noon." Liu Jin didn't dare to rashly turn his head to look at the copper kettle dripping behind him, and even when he spoke, he only squirmed his lips slightly, the voice was like a mosquito, lest Xie Qian or those few attendants hear it. However, seeing Zhu Houzhao twisting around, obviously extremely absent-minded, he had to remind stubbornly, "Your Highness, hold on for a while, it's time soon, and when you want to go to Xiyuan, go to Xiyuan!" You know, Mr. Xie said two good words, the emperor is happy, maybe you will give you two days off? ”

Although Liu Jin was just talking, these words obviously made Zhu Houzhao reluctantly lift his spirits again, and even pretended to be concentrated, but he was thinking about what Xu Xun's five hundred people were like, and what he could become when he practiced for the first time. However, just when he was full of impatience, he suddenly felt a hand stabbing himself in the back.

"Huh?" Seeing Xie Qian looking at him with blazing eyes, Zhu Houzhao woke up for a while, but soon nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Xie may say it again?" ”

Although he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was most distracted and didn't listen to it at all, and he was secretly depressed for a while, Xie Qian had to swallow this undeserved anger, and said with a pleasant face: "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. Your Highness understands what this means? ”

Zhu Houzhao was completely distracted just now, where could he understand what this meant, racked his brains and thought about it, and finally barely grasped a little bit of what Xie Qian said, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stumbled and said: "The way of university lies in ...... It's about showing the ...... that everyone has. That's a good surname, and ...... Well, being close to the people can be the most perfect. Able to know...... Knowing the best, then you will have concentration. If you have concentration, you will be calm, and if you are calm, you will be stable, and if you are stable, you will be able to think deeply, and if you think deeply, you will get the great way. ”

In the last few sentences, those words were finally not too awkward, he thought about it some, his mouth was suddenly extremely smooth, and at the end he even asked with a smile: "Mr. Xie, is this what you mean?" ”

It's also the avenue, he said it in vain before when he spit on the stars and flew around!

Although Xie Qian wanted to sigh, Zhu Houzhao had finally listened to some of the initial explanations, and he could only give up and nodded very stiffly, so he continued to speak, just when he didn't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with his head drooping down again. It wasn't until a loud bronze bell outside that he coughed lightly and stopped, and said with a deep salute to Zhu Houzhao: "What I said today, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go back and study as a good student." ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xie, don't worry, I've written it down!"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao nodding again and again, thinking of this master's humble attitude of accepting repeated teachings, the corners of Xie Qian's mouth couldn't help twitching, and in the end, he couldn't say anything more, and sent the prince away with a group of scholars. However, looking at the hurried back, his heart was very uncomfortable. Whether it was the debate in the Wenhua Hall before, or the performance when listening to the lecture today, the tendency of the East Palace to like martial arts and evil literature is too obvious. In the long run, it is inevitable to repeat the mistakes of the orthodox years!

And Zhu Houzhao hurriedly came out from behind, and saw Zhang Yong probing his brain there, he immediately walked up quickly and grabbed someone's sleeve and asked, "What's the matter, did you go to Xiyuan to see what was lively?" ”

Zhang Yong hurriedly saluted, and when he saw that several other eunuchs were looking at him jealously, he didn't dare to continue selling Guanzi there, so he hurriedly smiled: "I saw it, as soon as Xu Shizi came today, he gave them a dismount ......."

Liu Jin saw that Zhu Houzhao was impatient to ask Zhang Yong while walking, but he left himself behind, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, secretly thinking that if he knew this, he should have asked for this errand early, and he didn't need to be cheap Zhang Yong. But at this moment, he suddenly noticed the gaze cast on the side, and seeing that it was Gao Feng, he quickly hid the emotions that had just been revealed on his face.

Gao Feng, who is in his early seventies, is not as good as Liu Jin, who has been in the palace for many years, but his rank has never been high. Among these eunuchs in the East Palace, he is the largest eunuch, but he has always been easy-going, but he is in charge of the East Palace Seal Bureau but never puts on a show, and treats everyone with a smile, even Zhu Houzhao will never call him by his name when he is happy, and he will call one big companion after another. Therefore, although Liu Jin has always been polite and respectful to Gao Feng, he is still a little uncomfortable when he sees him smiling at this time.

"Be careful, when you were muttering to the prince before, Elder Xie Ge saw it." Gao Feng was taken aback when he saw Liu Jin, so he reminded in a low voice, "Elder Xie Ge is not like Elder Li Ge, his surname is anxious, and his mouth is fast, if you say something in front of the emperor, you can't eat and walk around." After that, remember to look at people, don't be reckless. ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, thank you for the reminder!"

Not to mention that Liu Jin was very heart-beating by Gao Feng's words, Zhu Houzhao went out of Zuoshun Gate all the way, entered from Youshun Gate, and went all the way out of Xihua Gate in the west. At this time, there was already a shoulder arranged by Zhang Yong waiting there. As soon as Zhu Houzhao sat down, he was about to give the order to go, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and looked around, just happened to see Gao Feng, and immediately said: "Gao Daban, you are old, it is too hard to follow the inner school field all the way, you go to the father and queen mother to play, and say that I will go back to say hello, and go there to see the excitement first." And you, don't let so many people follow, Liu Jin and Zhang Yonggu will use Ma Yongcheng to follow, and the others will go back! ”

As soon as Liu Jin heard it, he understood that this master didn't want to reveal his identity, seeing that Gao Feng smiled and agreed, and the others were a little scared, he looked around, and casually pulled a little eunuch over and gave a few orders, but the two of them went to the straight room next to Xihua Gate first, and after a while, Liu Jin came out with a burden, and then quickly followed Zhu Houzhao and his party, who had already moved forward. And go north out of the west to the north gate, along the moat all the way to the Qianming Gate, and smoothly go to the Jinao Yushu Bridge rebuilt in the second year of Hongzhi, and go through the Lingxing Gate, which can be regarded as really entering the West Garden. Liu Jin took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Your Highness, if you sit on your shoulders like this, then those heads and brains of the Xiyuan Restaurant, Huafang, Orchard Factory will come up to flatter, and you will not have time to deal with them at that time, where will you have time to watch the training in the inner school field? According to the meaning of the small, if you change your clothes, you will say that the people from the East Palace are going to see the excitement, so that it is not alarming, but also comfortable. Didn't you say that the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War also sent a director to watch from the side? If he goes out and talks to the old people, he's going to have to be noisy for a while, right? ”

"Okay, you're thoughtful!"

Zhu Houzhao was very happy when he heard this, and looked around, and was about to designate which of the eunuchs to follow him would strip off his clothes and change with himself, Liu Jin smiled and presented the burden with both hands: "If Your Highness doesn't mind, the small one just let Wang Yu leave a piece of clothes, he just went up this morning, and his body is about the same size as His Highness, so he only wronged His Highness......"

"Don't be aggrieved, don't be aggrieved, bring it quickly!"

At this moment, even Zhang Yong can't help but admire Liu Jin's tactfulness, not to mention others. Carrying Zhu Houzhao to a secluded place, several people surrounded the master to change into eunuch clothes, and Zhu Houzhao instructed the four sturdy eunuchs who raised their shoulders: "You four are waiting here." Gambling money is good or funny, but you are not allowed to walk around! ”

"Yes!"

Replacing the splendid body of Ayaluo and putting on this inconspicuous little eunuch outfit, Zhu Houzhao became elated instead-after all, most of the time he used to go out of the palace with this trick to hide from the world. Along the way, although there were occasional eunuchs who knew Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others to come over to talk, he was always safe and sound, and he was never recognized. It wasn't until he crossed the Xiangxiang Bridge that he could already see the figures on the inner school field from a distance, so he pulled everyone behind him regardless of it, and stretched his neck to look at it while walking quickly.

Before he got to the serious place, he heard Xu Xun shouting there: "Left lion to right tiger!" ”

Before Zhu Houzhao could react, he only heard another sound from the right leopard to the left bear, and then the right wolf, the left tiger, the right lion, and so on, and so on, he heard it in a fog, and Zhang Yong on the side hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Xu Shizi organized these five hundred people into five hundred teams, which are lions, tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, and then each hundred team has two general flags, so it is divided into left and right." Now it's about getting these people familiar with their own team, so it's a tug-of-war there! ”

"Oh? Lions, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves? Some meaning, some meaning! ”

If Zhu Houzhao was just full of interest at the beginning, then at this moment, he was simply in high spirits, dragging the group and almost running away. Far away to the edge of the school field, he saw a pile of people of different colors running back and forth, he immediately stood there and jumped on tiptoe twice to watch, and finally he was still not happy, and was about to find someone to move a ladder to see more clearly, and someone from the other side of the box quickly came up. He didn't recognize anyone, but Liu Jin and Zhang Yong recognized people at a glance.

It is Xiao Jing's godgrandson, the celebrant and the master of ceremonies writing Sun Bin!
