After Kong Youde entered the palace, he met Jing Yun, the eunuch of the case, outside the Guande Palace, and he arched his hand to show his respect.

Seeing that he was polite, Jingyun nodded and smiled.

The emperor was taking a nap, and the little eunuch said that he had just fallen asleep, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get up for an hour or two.

I heard that the emperor went to the Chaoxian Pavilion at night in the past few days, and I don't know what new skills Lu Cairen learned when he was provincial, so that the emperor stayed there for several days, and the palace was also amazed.

But in the harem, who is favored and who falls out of favor is just an ordinary thing, flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are not good for a thousand days, no matter how delicate the concubines are, there is also a day when they are old and famous.

Therefore, the most talked about in the harem is still power rather than favor.

While waiting for the emperor to wake up, Kong Youde went to visit the Xinuan Pavilion where Jingyun worked.

When the little eunuch took him in, he was taken aback, he didn't expect that the Xinuan Pavilion of this eunuch was piled up with books.

Not to mention that the four-sided bookshelves are all the way to the zenith, even the desk is also full of books, and Jing Yun is sitting there, holding a copy of "The Book of the Five Emperors" and reading it with relish.

Kong Youde thought to himself, this Jingyun is not simple.

Let's see that he is thin and thin, but he is not more than thirty years old, and his face is white and beardless, but his beautiful eyes contain infinite essence.

"Father-in-law, it's polite. There was a fire in the White Tiger Palace today, and I came here for this, have you heard? ”

"Master Kong is polite, I am just a little eunuch, although I can often see Long Yan, I am just His Majesty's minister.

I don't know about the White Tiger Palace you are talking about, Haojing's report will only be reported here every day. ”

Kong Youde saw that Jingyun was so polite and not as arrogant as the chief manager Qingchi, and immediately doubled his favor, and he was willing to say a few more words to him.

"What does my father-in-law think, the White Tiger Palace is famous for divination, strange and chaotic, contrary to the teachings of the saints, Your Majesty said that I should be in charge of things that are not in accordance with the etiquette law, and I think this White Tiger Palace will bear the brunt."

Jing Yun smiled before speaking, "Master Kong has indeed put the etiquette in his heart, but the saint of divination has not abandoned it." ”

Having said this, Kong Youde seemed to understand something all of a sudden, but it didn't seem so clear.

The feeling of such a glimmer of light is fleeting.

He paused, pondering carefully.

"Divination and Zoroastrianism are all things that the people like, but if Your Majesty can guide and guide them, so that the people can also bathe in the light of the sky, it may not be a bad thing."

Jing Yun paused word by word and said his thoughts.

"What's more, these can send Your Majesty to the altar, our empire can be more stable, and the people can be more happy, why not?"

"What Jingyun's father-in-law is thinking about is very shallow. Disrespectful, disrespectful. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The two men looked at each other and laughed.

While the two were talking and laughing, the little eunuch came to report that the emperor had gotten up and was having refreshments, so he asked Master Kong to move.

When Kong Youde entered, the emperor was already rinsing his mouth, there were a few delicate snacks on the table, and looking at the situation on the plate, the emperor only used a piece of mung bean pine nut cake.

Today's weather was originally stuffy, but this time the wind suddenly rose and blew into the Guande Palace, and the body was much more refreshed.

The emperor picked up the tea towel and dipped the drops of water on his mouth, and he was still on the table.

"Aiqing, what's the matter, you still come to see you at this time?"

Emperor Zuxun of the Hongyin Dynasty was not allowed to meet his subordinates alone, but the Queen Mother died, the right minister died, and the left minister did not come out.

He also became more and more willful, and remembered that something had not been done, so he summoned his ministers to inquire about it.

In the past few months, the ministers have gradually become accustomed to it, and even feel that it is very convenient to often say things to the emperor that are inconvenient to say in front of everyone.

Kong Hede pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, something strange happened in the White Tiger Palace today, and that shadow wall caught fire for no reason.

The common people were frightened, and they all said that it was a fire that came to the world, but fortunately there were no casualties.

But on top of the scorched tracks, a tiger shape actually appeared, and the White Tiger Palace showed a white tiger, which was really unusual. ”

"It is indeed unusual for the White Tiger Palace to have such a miracle, I don't know what Kong Qing's plans are, he will not come to the palace specifically to tell me new things."

The emperor was very familiar with these folk things, and felt that they were mostly just tricks.

Thinking so in his heart, his face showed some contempt and contempt.

Kong Youde looked at the emperor's expression, and half of the burden in his heart was released, he was worried that if the emperor really believed this, it would be more troublesome.

Looking at the current situation, the emperor also knows that the so-called divination is not enough.

"Your Majesty, if it is decided today, there will be no war in the four seas, the Wuyan Kingdom will stop losing last year, and the Lingjia Kingdom will also come to pay tribute, but you can't be lazy.

The minister said that it was not appropriate to say that someone pretended to be the fourth prince last year, although it was said that he was sentenced to Fufa, but the seven princes of Emperor An Lie still don't know where they are, if they are coerced by people with ulterior motives, and come to a prince to stand on their own, can this Haojing royal city still be stable? ”

Kong Youde whispered at the emperor's face as he spoke, although it was getting more and more gloomy, his beautiful eyes were dizzy, and his lips were closed tightly, but he still felt that he could still hold on, so he continued.

"Although the White Tiger Palace is nothing, it is still the spears played by the Taoist priests themselves, but since the White Tiger has been revealed, it is better to ......"

He paused deliberately, but the emperor really couldn't bear it and asked him, "Why is it better to be so spitting and spitting like this." ”

Kong Youde confessed, "Please let me elaborate on Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he took two steps forward so that the emperor could hear more clearly.

"Your Majesty, this White Tiger Palace makes a living from divination, and the people believe in it very much.

If divination can be combined with the Three Holy Religions and traditional Confucianism, won't Your Majesty become the representative of the gods and sages in the world?

As long as the high priest takes charge of the affairs of the White Tiger Palace, and can extensively establish palace studies and directly cultivate talents for the imperial court, wouldn't it be prosperous?

You think, this imperial examination is a good thing for the country, but first, the scale is too small, second, the promotion is slow, and third, people who really have the ability to govern the world may not be able to stand out in the scriptures examination, which is a pity. ”

As he spoke, he sighed, as if years of grudge had been sighed together at this moment.

When the emperor heard this, he was thoughtful, and suddenly his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he pointed at Kong Hede and said: "Scholars are really different, Kong Qing, you are really a great loyal and good minister." ”

Kong Youde humbly bowed, saluted, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this is the duty of Weichen.

Also, I must tell Your Majesty that before the meeting, the eunuch Jing Yun's father-in-law also mentioned a few words to me, which was very useful. ”

"Good, very good, I don't take credit, and I don't have contempt for the internal prisons, unlike the group of old ministers outside, who regard themselves as nobles, and don't look down on the new ministers or the internal supervisors.

In my heart, I am afraid that there are many doubts about me, the emperor. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly put away that hateful expression, and said, "I see this matter of building the White Tiger Palace, so I'll teach you to do it." ”
