Chapter 409: Manna Cake

On the second day of August, the drizzle continued, and the hot summer in Gyeonggi had passed, and the autumn wind and autumn rain were slightly cool.

At two o'clock, Zhang Yuan was led into the Wenhua Gate by the small waiter Gao Qiqian as usual, and was about to go to the apse through the corridor, but saw his senior brother Xu Guangqi coming out of the Wenhua Palace, Zhang Yuan hurriedly saluted, Xu Guangqi said: "His Royal Highness the Prince only passed the word that he said that there was something to talk about today, but he did not explain what it was. ”

Zhang Yuan asked the little waiter Gao Qiqian, and Gao Qiqian said: "The little one doesn't know, my brother asked the little one to wait for Mr. Zhang at Donghua Gate early in the morning." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Then Brother Xian, go quickly, I'll go back to the James Mansion first." "Arch your hands and go to the Wenhua Gate.

Zhang Yuan went to the apse to worship the palace, the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Youxiao had already arrived first, Zhong Benhua and Wei Jinzhong were waiting on the side, Wei Jinzhong had recently followed the emperor's eldest grandson more diligently, perhaps because he felt that Zhong Benhua's father and son had the threat of replacing his position in the emperor's eldest grandson's mind, so he was extra careful to serve the emperor's eldest grandson, and Zhang Yuan was also very flattering, Wei Jinzhong was very good at rhetoric, and it was just right, it would not make people disgusted with his flattery, Wang An, the eunuch of the East Palace, thought that Wei Jinzhong was loyal and reliable, Recently, Wei Jinzhong was promoted from a seven-grade errand to a six-grade book, and the emperor's eldest grandson's companion Gao Qiqian was also promoted, Gao Qiqian was brought into the palace by Zhong Benhua, who was originally the lowest-level small fireman, and now it is an ebony card with a fixed errand, many of the inner servants who have entered the palace have been small firefighters until they die, and there are about 60,000 people in the imperial city. ”

Every time it is Zhang Yuan's turn to enter the palace to speak, Zhu Youxiao is very happy, Zhang Yuan's Analects he can easily understand, Zhu Youxiao belongs to the kind of students who pick teachers, and the current three lecturers are in Zhu Youxiao's view, Mr. Zhang is the first, Mr. Sun is second, and Mr. Ma is the third, so he learns the best "Analects", and the "University" is the worst - Zhang Yuan didn't ask the crown prince Zhu Changluo why he didn't come out of the cabinet to give a lecture, this is not what he should ask, he is only responsible for teaching the emperor's eldest grandson, as usual, he reviews the previous homework, and then starts a new class, After talking for most of the hour, when he rested for a while, this moment was Zhu Youxiao's favorite time, he could talk freely with Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang's knowledge was endless and endless, Mr. Zhang knew why one end of the chopsticks in the water would look crooked, because looking at the air is not as fast as looking at things in the water; Mr. Zhang knows why stones always fall when they are thrown in the air, because there is gravity, Zhu Youxiao is very fortunate to have this gravity, otherwise things on the ground will fly everywhere like a strong wind, and people still stand on the ground steadily...... Anyway, all the questions that Zhu Youxiao can think of can be answered here by Mr. Zhang, and nothing can be difficult to stop Mr. Zhang.

Zhu Youxiao didn't ask some strange questions, he said: "Yesterday, Mr. Sun said that Emperor Qin won the government and destroyed the weapons of the Six Kingdoms to cast twelve bronze men for the peace of the world, Mr. Sun said that Qin Shi Huang's approach was wrong and could not keep the peace, but Mr. Sun didn't say it very clearly, I think the last time the annihilator who broke into the palace, holding a wooden stick can also hurt people, even ordinary people also have kitchen knives, right, carpenters also have axes, chisels and saws, do these have to be confiscated? ”

Twelve-year-old Zhu Youxiao is still very willing to think, Zhang Yuan praised: "Your Royal Highness asked very well, the ruler of the country lies in Bude to repair the government, so as to consolidate the hearts of the people, so as to get the support of the people, how strong is the Qin Shi Huang's army, but Chen Sheng, Wu Guang several soldiers cut wood for soldiers, unveiled poles for flags, and responded to a hundred calls, the powerful Qin State perished in a few years, so the king must observe the people's feelings and public opinions, and implement benevolent governance, in order to last for a long time, and rely on suppression can only be peaceful for a while, and sooner or later it will perish." ”

Zhu Youxiao asked: "Qin Shi Huang is a very powerful emperor who unified the six countries, why can't he even understand such a simple truth?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Many times it is already the situation, Qin Shi Huang is based on military exploits and severe punishment and strict law to establish the country, this kind of foundation of the country is originally flawed, in the six countries chaos, the war can be implemented, but after the unification of the world, the people should be raised, love the people, Qin Shi Huang is still the same old, in order to keep his empire, will be wrong, go down hard, only know the slaughter and ban, this is not Qin Shi Huang stupid, but he can not stop, not alone, but a group of people around him to the road to the country rushing, This group of people followed Qin Shi Huang to eat, and there were high-ranking officials who followed Qin Shi Huang, and if the national policy was changed, the interests of these people would be damaged first, so they refused to change, and if the people opposed them, they forcibly suppressed them, and the vast majority of people did not have that kind of vision, they only knew that they were temporarily protected, and they also thought that they were very strong, with heavy troops in their hands, and they despised the people, thinking that the unarmed people had nothing to fear, but they were defeated miserablyβ€”β€”"

Zhang Yuan felt that he had said too much, and how much could the twelve-year-old Zhu Youxiao really understand, and said with a smile: "I'll talk about this question slowly in the future, take a rest first, and then I'll have to teach a new class." ”

Wei Jinzhong came over at this time to say goodbye to Zhu Youxiao to inspect the Jiazi library, the Yinwen, Wumei indigo, Huahuang, Danlu alum, comfrey, black lead and other things in the Jiazi library are in and out every day, he must be present, the treasury keys are hanging around his waist - the second recess, Ke Yinyue came with a snack box and an umbrella, this woman was wearing a purple round-necked narrow-sleeved palace skirt, embroidered with folded branches and small sunflowers, and it was very bright and gorgeous in the drizzle, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but think: "Ke Yinyue's beauty is rare in the harem, The crown prince Zhu Changluo is so beautiful, why hasn't he accepted the guest seal moon for so many years? Then he thought again: "Zhu Changluo has been living in the shadow of Zheng Guifei, following the rules, I am afraid that I will be caught by Zheng Guifei if I make a mistake, if I am fortunate to be my son's nurse, then of course Yu De will have a loss, Zhu Changluo will not dare to do such a thing." ”

Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Yuan to go to the side hall with him to use snacks, Zhang Yuan was also used to it, so he followed, Ke Yinyue opened the food box, which contained manna cakes and nest silk tiger eye candy, Zhu Youxiao likes to eat this kind of nest silk tiger eye candy, Zhang Yuan did not dare to eat more sweets, only tasted a small piece, he ate more manna cakes, and was about to go back to the main hall to teach Zhu Youxiao to write big characters, but saw the young eunuch Wei Chao running in the rain, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Brother quickly return to the palace with the slave maid, the third brother said that he wanted to see you." "Carry Zhu Youxiao on his back, Ke Yinyue made an umbrella for Zhu Youxiao, Zhong Benhua asked Zhang Yuan to stay here for a while, and took Xiao Gao to go back to Ciqing Palace with Zhu Youxiao.

Zhang Yuan knew that the "third brother" of the Wei Dynasty referred to Zhu Youxiao's younger brother Zhu Youji, Zhu Youji is nine years old this year, has been sick, in May Emperor Wanli summoned the ministers in Ciqing Palace, Zhu Youji and his brother Zhu Youxiao, younger brother Zhu Youzhen, and his sister Zhu Huixi stood in a row, Zhang Yuan saw that Zhu Youji was a sick face, the prince Zhu Changluo said that he had not come out of the cabinet to give a lecture today, and now he called Zhu Youxiao back, could it be that Zhu Youji was seriously ill and was about to die?

At this time, it is about the end of the hour, the sky is gloomy, the rain clouds are low, the previous continuous drizzle is now getting heavier and heavier, the raindrops hit the yellow glazed tiles of the Wenhua Hall and make a dense broken sound, the front hall of the Wenhua Palace, the back hall is the main worship hall, the two sides of the hall are the Jiyi Hall and the Benren Palace, the huge hall seems to be only Zhang Yuan alone, it is extremely deserted.

Because he didn't get the exact news, I don't know if the emperor's eldest grandson will come to listen to the lecture again, Zhang Yuan had to wait here, he practiced Taijiquan in the side hall, and ate two pieces of nectar cakes sent by Ke Yinyue, seeing that the rain was still "booming", and it was still early to go to Fengtianmen Dongyu for lunch, so he returned to the main hall, picked up the pen and practiced calligraphy, and wrote a few lines of "Analects" silently, I don't know why I felt very sleepy, this is really a rare thing, so I closed my eyes with my hands on the side of the bookcase, but I felt extremely irritable, and there was a feeling of anger from the heart, and evil was born to the side of the gall, At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps, and when I raised my eyes, I saw Ke Yinyue put the umbrella on the porch, walked over with her skirt, and said: "Mr. Zhang, my brother will not come out to study today, and the third brother is very sick, but I am afraid that it will not be very good." ”

Zhang Yuan stood up and said, "Then take care of the emperor's eldest grandson, and I will retire first." ”

The main hall is empty, the rain outside the hall is dense, Zhang Yuan feels that his voice is different from usual, and he looks a little hoarse, Ke Yinyue said "Huh", and approached the front and said: "Mr. Zhang, why is your face so red?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Am I blushing? But his eyes fell on Ke Yinyue's plump chest, the purple sunflower palace skirt was wet by the rain, sticking to the skin, showing a plump and full outline, Ke Yinyue was just walking in a hurry, and she was still a little out of breath at this time, which was even more attractive.

In the past, Zhang Yuan would also glance at Ke Yinyue's chest, Ke Yinyue's big breasts were so eye-catching, it was impossible to ignore it, but his eyes would not stay, just browse, but now he was deeply attracted, the ups and downs, abundance and imaginary bullet surname made him unable to take his eyes off, the irritability in his heart was ignited in an instant, but what burned was a raging desire, and his breathing was suddenly short, so he wanted to pounce on this tempting ** and rub and vent vigorously - Ke Yinyue clearly noticed that Zhang Yuan's eyes were different, but he did not hesitate to shrink, Instead, he walked over and said face to face: "Mr. Zhang, you must be sick, and go to the side hall to rest." ”

Zhang Yuan's mind was full of absurd silver desires, and he was not very able to think at this time, but he felt that he was indeed a little wrong, and said: "I don't have to do anything, I'll leave the palace now." Reluctantly holding his mind and leaving, Ke Yinyue grabbed his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are staggering when you walk, I still take you to the side hall to rest, just rest for a while." ”

Ke Yinyue pulled up one of Zhang Yuan's hands and put it on her shoulder, she hugged Zhang Yuan's waist from behind, Zhang Yuan's hand hung down from Ke Yinyue's shoulder, and the palm was just in the position of Ke Yinyue's chest
