Chapter 40: Then I'll come to Si Tiantai another day to chat with the national teacher
The two looked at each other and walked towards their mounts.
Yun Chujiu rode in a carriage, and Yun Yan Pavilion rode a horse.
The deceased old man used to teach not only his granddaughters to ride horses, but also his grandchildren to ride horses, so the grandchildren of the Dingguo Mansion basically knew how to ride horses.
Si Tiantai is not in the imperial city, but in the outer city.
The national teacher had a high status in the Great Xia Dynasty and in the hearts of the people, and he ignored the affairs of the dynasty and did not participate in the royal disputes.
There are a lot of people outside the Si Tiantai every day, they basically go to try their luck, they want to see the national teacher, and no one will drive them away, everyone knows that the national teacher is quiet, and he never makes a loud noise, and tacitly looks twice outside the Si Tiantai, and he will take the initiative to leave if he can't see the national teacher.
In the main hall of Si Tiantai, the two sat facing each other, and a game of chess was placed in the middle.
Si Jiuheng picked up a sunspot and dropped it casually, "National teacher, I have a doubt in my heart and want to find an answer to the national teacher." ”
The national teacher sat lazily, his beard was long, and he didn't know how long it hadn't been repaired, and he yawned, "Ah Heng, you are extremely smart, and there are still things you don't understand?" ”
People outside think that the national teacher is a peerless master, handsome and extraordinary, but in fact, he is just a very lazy middle-aged man who is unkempt and very lazy.
Si Jiuheng picked up another white seed and landed next to the black seed, "I heard that after death, people will cross the Nai He Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, and reincarnate, I want to know if my mother has been reincarnated." ”
The national teacher glanced at Si Jiuheng twice, "Ah Heng, I'm just a national teacher, not an immortal, I can look at the stars and see some simple things, but like what you said, I can't see it, and I can't see it." ”
"Prince Shun has been gone for ten years, you don't have to cling to the past, otherwise you will end up hurting yourself." The national teacher took the two chess pieces, one white and one black, in his hands.
Si Jiuheng's slender jade hand supported his face, and his eyes fell on those chess pieces, "If I hadn't asked my mother to take me to play outside the capital, we wouldn't have met assassins, and my mother wouldn't have died tragically in front of me." ”
Ten years have passed, and he still vividly remembers the scene of his mother being hacked to death one by one.
Back then, when the assassins attacked, the mother asked the secret guard to take him away, and he coaxed the secret guard to take him back the way he came, but it was too late, and all the guards in Prince Shun's mansion were killed by the assassin, and he saw that the mother was covered in blood.
He struggled to run out, but the secret guard pulled him to death, and he could only watch his mother die.
In the end, my father came with the Praetorian Guards and killed all the Assassins, and most of the Praetorian Guards died.
Those assassins had a pattern on them, but for so many years, he had never been able to find out the force behind that pattern.
The national teacher shook his head, "I still say the same thing, I can't answer your doubts, I know that you have been looking for the person who killed your mother and concubine back then, but I hope you can stabilize your heart, so as not to fall into the devil and become unrecognized." ”
"Got it." Si Jiuheng sighed, picked up two chess pieces and played with them in his hand, and turned into that lazy appearance again, "I heard that many people guard outside Si Tiantai every day, just to see the national teacher, but the national teacher basically does not show up. ”
"Since you like to be quiet, why don't you move Si Tiantai to a quieter place?" Si Jiuheng had doubts in his eyes.
The national teacher smashed the chess pieces on the chessboard, "The last national teacher, that is, my master, said that the people have faith in their hearts, the emperor loves the people, and if the country is governed well, the country will not be chaotic." So he moved Si Tiantai from the imperial city to the outer city and built it in a place where the people could see it. ”
"He even left me a sentence on his deathbed, if I dare to move Si Tiantai to an unsightly place, he will pull out my hair for me in a dream." The national teacher still had some resentment in his tone when he talked about this, "You say, do I dare to move?" ”
Si Jiuheng didn't expect that Xijing's national teacher didn't move Si Tiantai because it was difficult to disobey the teacher's fate, and when he heard the resentment in his tone, he couldn't help but laugh, "This is very good, and it can also add some popularity to the cold Si Tiantai." ”
The national teacher directly grabbed a chess piece and smashed it towards Si Jiuheng, "You restrain a little." ”
Si Jiuheng raised his hand and held the chess pieces in his hand, the smile in his eyes still did not relent, "Obey the orders of the national teacher." ”
"Get out if it's okay." The national teacher grabbed a few more chess pieces and smashed them over.
Si Jiuheng dodged away, and all the chess pieces smashed to the ground, "Anyway, it's the chess pieces of the national teacher, I don't feel distressed." ”
The national teacher looked at Si Jiuheng's poor appearance, and felt that he had a toothache, he was really worried about him in vain, just Ah Heng's shameless nature, everyone in the world was enchanted, and he would not be enchanted.
The national teacher sneered, "I heard that you forbade your father's feet, and if you don't go back, your good father will sneak out of the palace." ”
"Then I'll come to Si Tiantai another day to chat with the national teacher." Si Jiuheng nodded.
"I don't want to see you again." The national teacher dislikes.
Si Jiuheng patted his clothes and walked out.
*
Yun Chujiu and Yun Yan Pavilion came to the outside of Si Tiantai, and squeezed in front of the crowd with their own advantages, and there were fifty-one stairs outside the Si Tiantai Gate.
Yun Yanting turned his head and asked the person next to him, "Brother Tai, you have been here for so long, have you seen the national teacher come out?" ”
"The National Teacher is so busy, how can he come out?" The man shook his head, "I'll come here to have a look when I have time, and I've never seen a national teacher." ”
"The National Teacher has been working hard for the Great Xia Dynasty all his life, so he should have a good rest."
"Little brother, you look so young, do you want to take the test rooftop too?"
Yun Yanting nodded, "I have admired the national teacher for a long time, and it is my lifelong wish to be admitted to Si Tiantai. ”
Someone sighed, "Si Tiantai is very difficult to take the exam, there are many people who take the exam every year, but there are very few people who can successfully enter Si Tiantai, and it does not mean that if you are admitted to Si Tiantai, you will definitely be able to see the national teacher." ”
"If you are admitted to Si Tiantai, you may not see the national teacher for the rest of your life."
Yun Chujiu pricked up her ears to listen to what those people said, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the door of Si Tiantai, if she could, she also wanted to see the national teacher.
Everyone was talking in small voices.
Suddenly, the door of Si Tiantai was opened, and a person walked out of it.
All the sound came to an abrupt halt.
Yun Chujiu's pupils shrank when she saw Si Jiuheng, for fear that Si Jiuheng would ask her for money again, so she quickly looked away and quietly retreated and blended in the crowd, lest Si Jiuheng see her.
She didn't dare to stare at him, his martial arts were higher than hers, and if her eyes fell on him a little longer, he would find her.
Yun Qiting raised his head suddenly, and saw that Si Jiuheng had a handsome appearance and a perfect temperament, which was very in line with the image of the national teacher, he took a few steps forward excitedly, and knelt on the ground with a plop, his face was red, "I've seen the national teacher." ”
Everyone else was stunned, "Is the national teacher so young?" ”
