"The emperor's actions in recent years have become more and more incomprehensible, and some things are all based on their own preferences. However, the third prince won't stay in the mansion for long, so look at it! After a few days, she will be able to come out, but Concubine Xian will have to wait for a few months, after all, Wan Xuenian is her father. ”

The way of the emperor lies in weighing, and now the two princes in the court are proud of the spring breeze, how can the emperor rest assured?

Although the matter of the eldest prince made Wan Xuenian and them carry the black pot, but the important ministers in the court and the central government all understood the inside story in their hearts, and the emperor was also afraid that the courtiers would be dissatisfied, so it was necessary to be cold to the eldest prince for a while.

After Qin's staff left, Xia Qing thought about it, and still called Min Feng to give him some advice.

Xia Qing stood in front of the window and looked at Min Feng who was walking towards the study. I only felt that I saw myself when I was a teenager, and at that time he was also full of ambition and retribution.

Now that decades have passed in the officialdom, the original intention has long changed. Although the power has leaned towards the government and the opposition, people feel more and more lonely, as the so-called high places are not cold, I'm afraid that's it!

The emperor is old, and he has to plan for himself. Among those princes, except for the four princes, they all have their own advantages. But the temperament of several princes, just taken out, is a little dissatisfied.

The eldest prince is too scheming, ruthless, and too decisive, as long as his interests are violated, the eldest prince will never miss the old feelings. The second prince is too generous to be crowned.

The third prince thinks he is a little clever, but he is often clever but mistaken by cleverness. Don't mention the four princes, no matter what his true temperament is, his body is a drag, and he wants to become a great treasure, unless the princes are dead. Otherwise, the emperor would never pass on the throne to him.

It is precisely because of this that the emperor can't make up his mind to make a prince, right?

However, the ambition of the four princes is not small. He has met the four princes twice, and the four princes' scheming and scheming do not lose to him at all, but it is a pity that he is affected by his body.

If you are healthy, even if you don't have a powerful foreigner, it's not that you can't sit on the throne.

"Student Min Feng has met Lord Shousuke!" Min Feng didn't know what Xia Qing was looking for him, and he was instinctively a little afraid of this Shoufu Lord who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

He is only a poor student, and he is fortunate to be valued by Xia Shoufu, which can be regarded as his creation.

Before, he thought badly, thinking that if he voted for the door, he would be restrained everywhere in the officialdom. Now that he has voted for Xia Fu, the benefits of Nanuoda have come one after another.

Not to mention anything else, before he was in the Xia Mansion, he still lived in the prison of the academy, and he was very poor in food and clothing.

He is just a lifter, every inch of land in the capital, if you want to live a comfortable life, the silver must not be less. Now that he has moved out of the prison house, he lives in Xia Mansion, and really lives a life of fine clothes and food.

No wonder the ancients often said: There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. As long as you go far in the officialdom, why don't you have these things outside your body?

When Xia Qing heard this, he came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Hmmm! Are you still used to living in the house during this time? Those subordinates didn't treat you slowly, did they? ”

Min Feng glanced up at Xia Qing and found that he was looking at him with a pleasant face at this time, and his heart was a little wider.

For Xia Qing to suddenly call himself over, he was guessing in his heart, and he didn't know if he had done something wrong recently.

"Back to my lord! The people in the house are very well-behaved, and the students are used to living in it. It's just that students often live in adults' houses, and I'm afraid that there will be a lot of disturbance, and I feel a little sorry to go. ”

Being valued by Xia Qing, Min Feng felt a little flattered. And he has been pressed by Gu Chengyu, and he is really puzzled that Xia Qing didn't fall in love with Gu Chengyu, but he fell in love with him.

"You are used to living in the house, and the old man appreciates your literary talents, so how can he think you are bothered? You can rest assured that you can stay in the house. ”

Xia Qing was very satisfied with Min Feng's sincere and frightened appearance, even if he was a talented student, he should show a humble side.

Xia Qing especially dislikes those self-righteous and arrogant young talents, thinking that they are too frivolous and unstable.

The humility shown by Min Feng was exactly what he wanted, in fact, how did he know that Min Feng had been hit by Gu Chengyu a little decadent in the past few days, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Besides, in the face of the first-class officials in the court, of course he did not dare to make a mistake.

"I heard that you went to Tianxiang Pavilion two days ago?"

When Min Feng heard this, he thought that Xia Qing was dissatisfied with him. After all, visiting the Qinglou is not a glorious thing, although it is to attend the cultural meeting, but it is really indecent to say it there.

"The students heard that there was a literary meeting in Tianxiang Pavilion, so they happily went."

"It's understandable for young people to go to the cultural meeting, but the old man heard that you lost to Gu Chengyu?"

Xia Qing was not surprised that Min Feng lost to Gu Chengyu. Originally, he knew that Min Feng was inferior to Gu Chengyu in terms of literary talent, even in terms of career, he couldn't compare. But these are often insignificant after entering the officialdom.

If you want to quickly gain a foothold in the officialdom and occupy a high position, you don't rely on literary talent, but on strategy and connections. Gu Chengyu is a disciple of Liang Zhirui, but Liang Zhirui has become a scholar, and now he is the first assistant.

As long as Min Feng is not the Adou who can't be helped, he can push him to a high position. Min Feng, this person, he had observed before, except for some competitiveness, the others were also impeccable.

Min Feng's ears were a little red when he heard this, his talent was not as good as Gu Chengyu, he had always been a thorn in his heart, and now letting Xia Qing say it nakedly made him even more ashamed.

"It's a shame that students are not as good as others!"

Xia Qing didn't need Min Feng's expression to hear the meaning of his words.

"No, you shouldn't be ashamed. Winning or losing for a while is nothing, but if you lose for a lifetime, then you should be ashamed. You are still young, and the days to come are still long! Who can guarantee that you will have the last laugh? ”

Xia Qing picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, looked at Min Feng's slightly soothing face, and continued: "You just have too narrow a vision, you have to take a long-term view." When you enter the court in the future, you will know that the previous ones are all fleeting. ”

When Min Feng heard this, he also felt that he had been on the tip of the bull's horns before. Didn't he keep telling himself that the court was the focus of his attention? Xia Shoufu is right, but he is too narrow-minded.

"Thank you for the mention, it's the students who are looking at it."

Xia Qing saw that Min Feng saw it, and nodded with satisfaction. The understanding is still good, stay by his side in the future, and when his horizons are broadened, he will no longer be obsessed with this matter.

"The old man is very optimistic about you, so he plans to accept you as a closed disciple, are you willing?"

When Min Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and was overjoyed, but he didn't expect such a good thing to fall on his head.

Although he took refuge in Xia Qing before, Xia Qing also valued him. However, he has lived in the house for more than a month, and Xia Qing has not paid attention to him, he still thinks that Xia Qing just sees that he is good at writing and has great hope of becoming a jinshi, so he wants to take advantage of his downfall to send charcoal in the snow.
