The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing.

In early spring, the wind is very pleasant, drifting through the vast fields, and it is free to wander between heaven and earth.

The spring breeze blows through the village, silently washing away all the old days. There is a cheerful spring breeze beside the watermill that walks the horse, beside the germinating green grass, and around the people who get up early. Occasionally, it playfully skips between people's fingers, leaving behind the invisible, unsmellable but full smell of spring.

The wind is everywhere, and there is no half preference.

However, in the house of the bell ringing and eating, there is no need to worry about the omen of abundance brought by this wind. What they need to think about more is the change of the wind in the court, if the tide can rise and fall and they can be at peace with the encounter, it is the blessing accumulated by the ancestors.

After all, this is not another place, but the center of the entire beam, Xijing Chang'an.

In Kyoto, where the world's talented and beautiful women and princes and generals are most longed for, there is no lively and joyful scene at the moment.

Inside and outside the palace, I saw groups of armored soldiers patrolling the four directions, and under them, there were slaves groveling and prostrate on the ground, washing the ground with steel brushes and towels.

Most of these lowest-class untouchables had been taken captive on the battlefield or had been relegated to the lowest slavery for serious crimes. Don't say it's these soldiers, it's just that ordinary people don't look down on these people, even if they are killed, they can't arouse any pity.

The only thing that is not clear is probably that I don't know why the ban is suddenly strict today, and every household must close its door, and no words are allowed; And somehow, these inferior slaves, who are not normally qualified to go to the streets, will appear in a bad light.

At this moment, in the palace city, I don't know what happened, everyone is silent, only some of the most experienced eunuchs and grandmothers are doing something.

After three poles in the sun, a little bit of news came out.

"The emperor is in poor health and temporarily avoids court affairs, and the crown prince Li Wan is well-behaved, governing the country well, and the edict is stationed in the cabinet and acting for political affairs."

The crown prince Li Wan is the crown prince appointed by Emperor Zhaowu of the Great Liang Dynasty, and it is natural and legal to occupy this position. When Li Wan received this holy grace, he repeatedly resigned, and finally recruited the officials of the six ministries and the emperor's relatives in Beijing to receive the emperor's edict before taking over the burden.

In this way, it is naturally in line with the rules set by the sage, no matter how pedantic the old Confucian is, he can't find any thorns at this moment.

The east palace of the prince has three halls and 36 rooms, among which the Ming Palace takes the meaning of "living in it and knowing its heart", and is used as a place for the prince to read and cultivate his temperament and meet with his staff on weekdays.

At this time, in the Ming Palace, Li Wanzheng frowned, looking at a notebook of the secret history of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Beside him, a middle-aged scholar carefully mixed sandalwood, and a little smoke lingered in the hall.

The crown prince held the center at this time, and if it weren't for the emperor's ill health, he should be full of guests. But even so, a few henchmen should come to get together.

But Li Wan did not let them go, but asked them to keep to themselves and not to increase the trouble. He only recruited middle-aged scholars from Guozijian.

"Master Fan, it shouldn't be long before Chunqiu."

"Your Highness, there are twenty-three days left."

"That person writes when he takes the test, can Master Fan know?"

"The works of gods and men, naturally dare not read them."

The two didn't need to say much to know each other's thoughts.

Naturally, the birth of that person really made Li Wan, who was even under one person and above ten thousand, have to be moved.

After all, the students who alarmed the academy and went out of the city to look for them have not appeared for an unknown amount of time.

The last time the children brought back by the Great Confucian, after completing their studies, they became the national teachers of the Great Liang in one fell swoop, assisted the first emperor to expand the territory, conquered the Quartet, and created the prosperous era of the Great Liang, which continues to this day.

In the autumn, a student in Qingyang County wrote an article that was simply brilliant, and was unanimously recognized as "Xie Yuan" by the local chief.

When the academy learned about it, it was also shocked, and the great Confucian went directly to Qingyang, wanting to directly incorporate it into the academy and receive Confucian orthodox education. However, what is even more shocking is that the person was instantly silent, and no trace could be found, even if the Great Confucian invited a warlock to divination, he could not find his location.

Daru was frustrated, and sighed even more, but he could only stop it.

"Qin Tianjian has also calculated, that person is indeed extraordinary, even they can't do anything."

Li Wan threw away the codex, showing a little tiredness.

The middle-aged scholar waved the feather fan in his hand, letting the freshly mixed sandalwood in the incense burner gently waft into the prince's nasal cavity, nourishing his mind.

He saw Li Wan's brows stretch a little before he replied:

"I don't want to come to prison if I want to."

"Naturally, my father can't control him, so how can I expect him to help me?"

Li Wan laughed self-deprecatingly, but then faded away.

Qin Tianjian originally relied on the existence of the royal family. Dynasties and dynasties were supposed to serve the emperor, compile calendars, interpret the stars, and preside over divination.

However, in the Great Liang Dynasty, Qin Tianjian was separated from the royal family and even the entire court, and was not subject to any external interference. The royal family's general search for Qin Tianjian is naturally no different from the past, but once the matter is larger, it is ambiguous.

Ordinary people naturally don't know the reason for the period, and they don't know that Qin Tianjian is even faintly higher than the emperor Lao Tzu they say.

In fact, there is no reason, just because of the existence of the prisoner.

"But it's okay, if the supervisor doesn't help each other, then each depends on his ability."

The middle-aged scholar nodded, he would not be inserted into the complicated relationship between the royal family and Qin Tianjian, just as Qin Tianjian would not be inserted into the game of the princes.

After thinking for a moment, the middle-aged scholar said:

"In this case, that person is indeed extraordinary, maybe he himself is also avoiding contact with the power of the court, the others...... No trace of him was found. However, please rest assured, in addition to the spies who have been scattered, other places are also investigating his clues, and I believe that he can still find out his clues. ”

"Well, if you find it, don't startle the snake, and don't take any offense. He deserves my own visit. ”

Li Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, sat upright, her eyes were blazing, she swept away her tiredness, and she was full of confidence.

In this Daliang territory, anyone with a little vision should know that the most powerful person in the world at this time is the prince of the prison country!

Whether it is seeking fame, wealth, status, or beautiful women, the ruler of this dynasty can be satisfied.

All he needs is one sentence: all the heroes of the world are in my ranks!

When the middle-aged scholar heard this, he also knew the prince's thoughts, so he stood up, saluted the prince, and said goodbye.

As Li Wan's staff, he naturally needs to saddle up and prepare for a certain future.

If that genius is really capable, he must do his best to recruit him. Even if it is not used on hold, it is important not to allow other opponents to get this kind of reinforcement.

With the sound of the secret door closing, Li Wan also lay down again, just looking at the carved beams and paintings in the sky, and fell into deep thought.

As for what the prince was thinking, no one knew.

In the past ten days, there have been no drastic reforms since the crown prince entered the cabinet, and most of the affairs of the crown prince have followed the old practice and there are no omissions.

The earth-shattering changes that day caused the cabinet lords and the heads of the six departments to be a little frightened, walking on thin ice, for fear that the prince would change his order on a whim, and by the way, he would make an example of the monkeys. Of course, it doesn't matter if he makes a mistake, after all, he is the future king, and they are ministers, so they have to do whatever they want.

Later, they gradually became reassured, after all, this elegant prince did not interfere too much in daily affairs, except for asking the Ministry of Rites to prepare for this year's spring festival to prepare for the trip to Longhu Mountain to ask for incense and worship the sky, there was nothing else.

In the hearts of the ministers, this prince, who was born into a royal noble, was not corrupted by this almost ninety-five supreme position, and did not use the butcher's knife of power to set off a bloody party struggle, and treated people as gently as before, and really had the demeanor of a holy king.

In the eyes of these scholars, the most disgusting thing is the people who act recklessly after exercising the authority of the emperor. What happened to the changes that day, they naturally didn't know, although after thinking about it, it seemed that they couldn't escape from this prince, but such a status quo could already satisfy them.

For a time, Li Wan's prestige in the court became higher and higher, and he was even faintly regarded by many important ministers in the court as the sustenance that the emperor could create a prosperous era after a hundred years.

There is only one place that has been criticized by some masters, because this prince is not from the queen, but the heir of the imperial concubine, and even he is not a son-in-law, but a second son.

The identity of the second son of the concubine was originally difficult to obtain even the position of prince or even vassal king. It's just that for some reason, Li Wan was canonized by the emperor in the East Palace.

However, although Li Wan's reputation cannot be compared to that of all the princes, there is no way to completely break through the ancestral law inherited by the eldest son for thousands of years.

This may also be where other undercurrent forces can best close the gap with the crown prince.

I don't know how long the cultural heritage of the academy that does not understand human feelings has dominated this world, and this cultural heritage has become the root of the legal lineage of the dynasties through countless scholars who have entered the court.

If there is no academy to admit it, even if the monarch who comes to power forcibly ascends the throne, it will only rise and fall suddenly.

The changes of history have shown that almost all perverse practices that are contrary to the core etiquette of the academy are difficult to last, and it is the beginning of the most powerful dynasty in the world, and at most the second will die.

This primogeniture inheritance system, although not respected by the ancient holy kings, is the existence that both the Duke of Zhou and the Holy One nodded and recognized.

No matter how arrogant the current scholars are, they dare not oppose these two sages. If it weren't for the changes in the world later, and the annotations made by several saints who accompanied the Temple of Literature, Li Wan would not even have a point as the prince.

Even so, Li Wan must be cautious if she wants to keep this position, but if someone grabs her pigtails, she may not be able to turn over.

Of course, it is impossible for successive dynasties to let the academy interfere.

At the beginning, saints such as the Holy and the Sub-Holy pressed the Quartet, and naturally there was no way to do it, but later the academy was suppressed by the Emperor of the Ages, and the existence of the saints who could be honored was almost cut off, and it fell into decline.

It's a pity that after the sudden collapse of that emperor, the academy made a comeback, and the royal power declined again.

Until a certain scholar broke away from the academy, sided with the royal power, founded Taixue, and later changed to Guozijian, although the change of dynasty was still seven or eight points subject to the academy, it was no longer powerless!
