Daomen Sanqing Palace is located in the south of the river, in the Shennong domain of the land of Jingchu, the jungle is reckless, the mountains are many and the valleys are deep, the people are inaccessible, and it extends to the west to the Bashu Wu Mountain, and where the Sanqing Palace is built specifically, the people outside do not know. But it is in the land of Jingchu in the general direction, it is not very far away from Yangzhou, and there is a convenient waterway to the east of the big river, if you take a fast boat, you should arrive in about five or six days down the river.

According to the time, from the imperial court ordering the immeasurable view in Beijing, to the immeasurable view to send a message to the Sanqing Palace, and then to the Sanqing Palace to send people...... My sister shouldn't have arrived in Yangzhou yet.

Is it on a ship around this time?

Xiao Yan was ninety percent sure in his heart that if the Daomen sent a doctor to treat the epidemic in the past, Shen Qingyi should be among them.

She had a feeling that Daomen was cultivating Shen Qingyi. Although when she was in the Guogong Mansion, Shen Qingyi did not mention her affairs in the Medicine Hall in detail, Xiao Yan was already smart, and once she cared about something, she could probably deduce the order from the clues. She could be sure that the Dao Sect valued Shen Qingyi, otherwise they would not have sent the Grandmaster of the Cave True Realm to escort her on her trip. This kind of attention, Xiao Yan is not sure whether it is the legacy of Dao Xuanzi, or Shen Qingyi's talent and attainments in medicine and Taoism are too good, maybe both, or maybe there are other more secret reasons, but no matter what the reason, there should be no doubt that Daomen is focusing on cultivating Shen Qingyi.

If the Daomen has the heart to cultivate Shen Qingyi, when encountering a complex epidemic like Yangzhou that has not even been accurately determined, she will definitely not be left behind.

But if Daomen is really cultivating Shen Qingyi, Xiao Yan has hidden worries in his heart: with his sister from Wuxing Shen and the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family in Lanling, such a dual family background, and Daomen has always had an attitude of being close to the family, so vigorously cultivating her sister, once she becomes famous, if Daomen wants to use this to close the relationship with Xiao and Shen, it would be good; But what if not?

Xiao Yan's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, only to feel that the Daomen was confused in this matter, making it impossible to see its purpose.

But she is not a bull-horned character, and she didn't understand it after thinking about it for a while, so she put the matter aside for a while. No matter what the purpose of the door is, there will always be a time when it will be revealed. By there, she should have advanced to the Cave Realm. With great strength, you can protect the people you want to protect.

Xiao Yan's mind calmed down. Listening to the sound of her mother's even breathing, I knew that she was asleep, and remembered that I was going to enter Tiance Academy from tomorrow, and the rules were strict, and I couldn't come out at will, so I was reluctant in my heart. During this period of time in Chang'an, she experienced the joy of a child, carefree, joyful, this feeling as if she could do a happy thing with her mother was something she had never had before, and getting along with her mother Mozun was another kind of happiness, but both kinds of happiness made her nostalgic.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but turn his head to look at his mother, and his right hand under the brocade gently stretched over and held his mother's hand.

She closed her eyes with a smile and fell asleep after a few breaths, her face calm and peaceful.

The next day, she still woke up at midnight, and after meditating, she carefully got up and did not wake up her mother, so she practiced boxing by the pool of Cheng Bixuan. Zhi Mao is closing his fists, returning to his bedroom, and soaking in the body medicine soup. After taking a bath, I changed into clean clothes, and my mother had already gotten up.

Because Xiao Yan entered Tiance Academy today, Li Yihun got up earlier than usual, and the morning meal was also in advance.

Li Yuzhen has already come, wearing a white silk edge pleated skirt shirt, cross-collar and wide sleeves, cloud shoulders and horizontal embroidered green dragon pattern, front and back clothes cloud thread dark weaving easy pattern, walking to see the hexagram shadow streamer, a black hair bun wearing a white jade crown, white jade dragon hairpin, the style is noble, the thin silk coat is fluttering, and it looks chic and colorful, which attracted Xiao Yan to look at her a few more times.

Li Yuzhen flew a seductive look at her, turned her face and called "aunt", then approached her shoulder and laughed, "Yuezhi - fascinated by me?" The end of the "sound" was warped, and the cry was very entangled.

Xiao Yan glanced at her, "I'm looking at your clothes." ”

Li Yuzhen's body is the uniform of the grandmaster of Tiance Academy.

She stretched out her hand and hooked Xiao Yan's neck and smiled, praising herself and saying: "The clothes are good-looking, and the beauty should look good in whatever clothes she wears." As he spoke, he touched Xiao Yan's collar with his other hand, "Just like you, it looks good in this student shirt." ”

Xiao Yan is wearing a fine white linen pleated skirt shirt, with arrow sleeves with a collar, except for the word "Wu" embroidered on the sleeves on both sides, the whole body is unadorned, very plain, it is the student uniform of the martial arts students of Tiance Academy. But this white dress makes her temperament more and more clean and clear, like a transparent piece of crystal jade, which makes people want to touch it when they see it, and they don't want to let go when they touch it. Li Yuzhen's hand touching her collar couldn't help but caress her neck and then touch her face.

Xiao Yan couldn't push her away with a cold face like before because she felt guilty, so she endured her movements for a while, and only glared at her with horizontal eyebrows: "Don't go too far." The voice was a little helpless, "Sit down and eat - are we going to the academy yet?" ”

Li Yuzhen smiled in his eyes as soon as he heard "we", and he didn't even dwell on the answer "Okay", but quickly kissed Xiao Yan on the face, and sat down on the east side of the dining table.

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth in anger and glared at her several times before sitting on the west seat with a black face.

Li Yixun sat on the north Zen chair and watched it with a smile, looking like he was watching a good show, his white and delicate fingers pinched the gold-rimmed spoon and slowly stirred the jade bird's nest in the bowl, thinking to himself: Ah Zhen has improved! - In the past, her body was about to be pushed away, but now she is next to her and touched, and Baoshu can still bear her. However, it is difficult to go any further. Li Yixun said that he was not very optimistic about his niece.

The three of them used to eat in the court, rinsed their mouths and cleaned their hands out of the dining pavilion, Xiao Yan said goodbye to his mother, and went out of the princess's mansion with Li Yuzhen, and rode out of the workshop. An Yexi wore a guard uniform with round necks and arrow sleeves, and followed behind with more than a dozen guards from the Princess Mansion of the Qin State.

After the group went out of the Fangfu Gate, they dialed their horses to the south, crossed the Daning Fang into Tonghua Street, turned east and went straight, crossed the inland river bridge of Longshou Canal, and then went out of Dongcheng Tonghua Gate after a hundred zhang, and galloped across the outer river bridge of Longshou Canal on horseback, and galloped north to Longshouyuan.

The dragon's head was originally a plateau outside the northeast of Chang'an City, because the west end was abruptly pulled up from the side of the Wei River, and it was named after the dragon's head. Daming Palace is built on the Longshou Plain, from the north city wall of Chang'an to the east of Taiji Palace, protruding from the north of Chang'an City, because of the high terrain, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City, so the Daming Palace used as a summer palace has become the emperor's permanent residence, and the six departments of the three provinces have also moved over, gradually replacing the Taiji Palace to become the center of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the Dragon Head Plain became a forbidden garden, and the left and right Yulin troops were stationed on the Dragon Head Plain. And from Chang'an City to Longshouyuan there is only one straight road, located in the Daming Palace East Forbidden Garden ten miles away, Li Yuzhen took Xiao Yan from this straight road gallop to the north, this is the only road from Chang'an City to Tiance Academy, Taizong named "Shuanglong Road", because it is from the "Longshou Canal" outside the Tonghua Gate, and has been repaired to the north twenty miles to the north of the Longshouyuan "Takihe", so it is called Shuanglong.

Tiance Academy is on the north bank of the Taki River.

In the verdant woods, it can be seen that the academy covers a very wide area, the blue-white eaves tile starts from the Wei River in the west, the Takihe River in the south, extends to the east and north, and goes north to the green mountains in the distance, which is the Cui Mountain; To the east, out of Longshouyuan. Xiao Yan visually estimated that it should be more than ten times larger than Daming Palace. This is only the south side of the mountain, in fact, this abrupt rise from the plain is only the inner mountain of the academy, and the north side of the mountain is still the territory of the Tiance Academy.

But seeing the trees towering to the sky, countless courtyard buildings and pavilions extending to the depths of the forest, there is no end in sight, the green mountains in the distance are towering, the peaks and veins are undulating, and there is a melodious sound of the hidden bells.

The galloped horse crossed the bridge of the Takigawa River, followed the canal that stretched north of the Taki, and galloped north for more than 20 miles before arriving at the east gate of the academy.

Xiao Yan knew that Tiance Academy had a total of eight gates, which were named after the direction of the easy number of gossip, and the east gate was Zhenmen - this is the direction of due east. The canal excavated to the north of the Takigawa River is to enter from the Dongzhen Gate, cross the academy like a wave, and flow out of the Duimun, that is, the West Gate, to the west, which is connected to the Wei River: this is the Takiwei Canal. Xiao Yan knew that the section that crossed the academy was called "Hongyi Canal", which divided the academy into two parts, the south was the outer school, and the north was the core of the academy, the inner school.

What Xiao Yan wants to enter is internal learning.

Li Yuzhen led her in through the east gate. Due to the rules of the academy, no more than one attendant can be brought into the academy by students, so only An Yexi and Wei Chiting accompany them, and the rest of the guards stay in the waiting gallery outside the east gate to wait.

The east gate is built on the south side of the Hongyi Canal, and it is necessary to cross the canal to the north after entering the canal. This canal is very wide, about seven zhang, Xiao Yan heard Li Yuzhen say, the water depth is two zhang, thousands of boats can sail on the canal, in fact, this is a channel of the academy, merchants can apply for a special pass order for Shuanglong Road without entering Chang'an City, and directly transport goods from the Wei River and the Takihe River to the academy. But the original construction of this Takiwei canal was not for the convenience of logistics, but to train students "Hongyi" - the inner canal was built by students. Of course, the Maison scoffs at this statement: the real reason is due to Feng Shui considerations; As for tossing students, that's in passing.

When Li Yuzhen crossed the bridge, he said that this Hongyi canal was built for a total of 20 years, from the Mingzong Dynasty to the Gaozong Dynasty.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but look back at this canal, and still couldn't figure it out in his heart, so he asked: "How did Mingzong and Gaozong think of letting students repair the canal, Hongyi, this is too much of a toss, right?" "Use the children of the royal family as people's husbands? Tsk, is it any wonder that this inner canal, which is less than a hundred miles, has been built for twenty years - five miles a year?! Ha! Even if the Ming Dynasty did, there were thousands of students studying inside and outside, right? This speed, hehe, I don't know if it's tossing people or tossing canals - I guess it's really used to toss people.

Li Yuzhen smiled and said: "Do you think these students can be allowed to use force and cut a big ditch with a sword?" His eyes slanted over, "Boy, you're thinking too naïve. ”

Xiao Yan snorted, "You're only a teenager!" ”

Li Yuzhen slipped a few glances on her chest with a little frivolous eyes, "Not 'less'?" ”

Xiao Yan stood tall and stern, "No personal attacks!" ”

Li Yuzhen let out a "poof" and fell on the horse's back laughing, "Ahahaha!" "Why is Xiao Yuezhi so cute!

An Yexi and Wei Chiting listened to it behind with a blank face: What kind of personal attack? Seventeen Langjun hasn't reached the crown yet, so it's not wrong to say "boy"?

Xiao Yan grinded her teeth, and decided to restore her female body after entering the Cave True Realm, and resolutely did not wear a bandeau with a corseted chest, saving Li Yuzhen from teasing her with her "small breasts". With a snort, she squinted at Li Yuzhen and said, "Laugh again, turn your face." ”

Li Yuzhen couldn't hold back a laugh, turned her face and saw her slightly annoyed look, her eyebrows flew obliquely, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her thick eyelashes fell a beautiful arc, and she felt so itchy in her heart, and wanted to pounce on her and bite her.

As soon as Xiao Yan saw her eyes, he immediately turned his horse and walked two steps to the side, glaring at her vigilantly.

Li Yuzhen laughed again, and her eyes were slanted at her, but her eyes were bright and charming, with a seductive taste.

Xiao Yan immediately turned his eyes away from her, and walked a few steps quickly.

Li Yuzhen knocked lightly on the horse's belly to catch up, walked with her, and said with what he just said: "All martial arts students who practice with internal force have been sealed by the master for most of the meridians, allowing them to use a part of the internal force, but if they dare to enlarge the move, the master will take him to the 'martial arts Hongyi' - compared to this, digging down the ditch, carrying the soil, digging stones or something, it is trivial." The muscles and bones of martial arts are strong, and they don't feel how hard they are. It is the liberal arts students of the Earth Academy and the Human Academy who complain about the bitterness.

"Since you want to 'Hongyi', you have to endure hardships. Bitter its muscles and bones, forge its mind. Didn't those Confucian masters always take the words of "Mencius" and say, 'Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't'? The academy is still just 'exerting their muscles and bones', not torturing them, starving them, and rushing to work when they are tired—far worse than what Confucianism says. ”

Xiao Yan laughed "hahaha", this "hard work" is the biggest torture for the children of the prince's clan who have been served by slaves and maids since childhood, and even dressing may only be open-handed.

She admired Mingzong and Gaozong in her heart, but she felt that it was incredible that this Hongyi Canal could be cultivated, even if it was the emperor's edict, it might not be possible - "Those children are obedient?" "Impossible, right? And their parents want their children to suffer? There are still relatively few "strict fathers and strict mothers" in the world, even if they are strict fathers, they are not willing to use this way to toss their children; Not to mention the grandmother who dotes on her children? That's a lot; Besides, even if you "work your muscles and bones" to forge your mind, you don't need to repair the canal...... Surely there is a flood of opposition!

Li Yuzhen said in a cool voice: "How can you be obedient? Students are clamoring for a strike; The princes of the clan rallied against it, crying that 'the saints treat the noble as lowly and unseemly'...... There are all kinds of things, and there is a lot of noise. ——And these turbulent waves are only a few sentences in the history of the country: "Ming Zong Benji" contains "the emperor expands the sect of learning, and the children of the five suits of the appropriate age are all entered into the heavenly policy"; "Gaozong Benji" contains "the emperor's "Sect Admission Edict", and the children of the clan are all entered into the heavenly policy at the appropriate age'. ”

Xiao Yan inhaled when she heard it, and Li Yuzhen only had a few words, but she could imagine how "stormy the waves" were back then.

There was a hint of thought in her eyes, and she heard Li Yuzhen come over and say: [Do you know, why did Mingzong and Gaozong want their students to cultivate the 'Hongyi Canal'? 】

[Well, is it to gather the water and cultivate feng shui? Xiao Yan said the family's views on the Takiwei Canal.

The Han people attach great importance to feng shui, and rich families must ask feng shui masters to calculate feng shui when they build houses and cemeteries. Tiance Academy is the town of the Li clan in Longxi, put it in the Tang Dynasty is the "town of the country force", and it is a place to cultivate royal talents, the role and importance of the royal family is self-evident, it can be said that it is no less than the imperial mausoleum and the palace, and the place where the academy is built must of course have good feng shui. Feng Shui must have wind and water, and it is really nothing to lead a river and dig a canal. But Xiao Yan is strange: why didn't Tiance Academy dig this canal at the beginning of its construction?

[Because of 'Feng Shui', this is true. Li Yuzhen said, [But there is no shortage of water in the academy, and there are mountains and rivers that converge into lakes and streams. The excavation of a Takiwei canal can only be said to be the icing on the cake, not necessary. Moreover, when Taizong built the academy, it was not so big, and too much water was not good. Later, after Mingzong ascended the throne, he expanded the academy, and only then did he build it from Zhucui Mountain to the north bank of the Takihe River, and it became necessary to dig the Takiwei Canal. 】

Li Yuzhen said: [As for the students to repair the canal, Hongyi, and forge their minds, this is the reason for taking it out, although it is also one of the purposes of Mingzong and Gaozong, but the deeper reason is that to find something to do for these royal clans, save too much energy, and toss blindly. 】

Xiao Yan thought in his heart, "Huh? "...... Blind toss? 】

Toss what?
