Chapter 204: The Autumn Palace

Zheng Yanming nodded and turned to leave, but his heart was quite unsettled, and it could be said that it had set off monstrous waves.

The Master personally taught him what these four words meant, and he knew better than anyone else.

In the Hanlin Academy, there are not no bachelors who can be taught by the master himself, but these people are all real talents, and these people will have a career in the future, and the worst of these people will serve in the East Palace.

The strongest is to become the successor of the mantle of the master, Wenxuan Master was the previous master's personal teaching, years of accumulation, became the master of the heir, and finally took over the Hanlin Academy, becoming the leader of the literary world.

This time, Su Qi'an was named by the master and taught it personally, what does it mean behind it?

Do you want to select talents for the future prince of the East Palace, or do you want to regard it as a successor? Zheng Yanming has no way of knowing.

But what he can be sure of is that after the news was delivered, Su Qi'an's weight in the imperial city was that everyone, even the children of the royal family, did not dare to despise it at will.

After Zheng Yanming left, Su Qi'an stood in place, looking at the Wenxuan in front of him, and his heart was also a little shocked.

After being silent for a while, just as Su Qi'an was about to ask, Wen Xuan's voice sounded.

"Hehe, don't be so surprised, Uncle Dongshan, with your talent, it's normal for me to teach it personally."

Wen Xuan said so, and Su Qi'an had nothing to say, he nodded and said softly.

"It is an honor for the students to be valued by the master, but the students still want to say something from their hearts, and it is not the student's ambition to stay in Kyoto for a long time, or even to assist the future prince of the East Palace."

"Oh? Tell me what your ambitions are." Wen Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The student's ambition is to return to his hometown of Xizhou and contribute to the peace and contentment of the people of Xizhou."

"If the people of Xizhou can live and work in peace and contentment, the students will travel all over the Daliang states, as long as the people can live well, the students will be enough."

"Is this what you want? Even if you lose to become the master's personal heir? Nor do you regret it?"

"Students have no regrets." Su Qi'an nodded solemnly,

This was not Su Qi'an's idea against his will, but when he came to Daliang Kyoto, especially when he saw many big people of all shapes and sizes in the imperial city, Su Qi'an had this idea.

Su Qi'an's ambition has never been to obtain the highest power, rebel, ambition and the like.

He has come to this point, although his status is not below one person, above ten thousand.

But it's definitely not an ordinary person who can easily bring him down.

And there is one point, leaving a place of right and wrong like Kyoto, returning to Xizhou, and traveling all over the Daliang Prefectures, on the contrary, is the best way to develop one's own power, and the growth of this power is the foundation of one's own self-preservation.

Staying in Kyoto for a long time, sooner or later, will become a thorn in the side of some people, a thorn in the flesh, and with such a suspicious emperor, His Majesty, Kyoto is not a safe place.

Wen Xuan turned around, looked at Su Qi'an, and laughed, "The poor are good alone, and the good will help the world, hehe, Su Qi'an, you are really as the ninth princess said, you are not an ordinary talent, the old man did not mistake you."

Su Qi'an was stunned, a little stunned, he looked at Wen Xuan, and said softly, "Master, you said the ninth princess?"

Wen Xuan did not hide it, and said, "Feng Ling's girl, after returning to Kyoto, in front of me, praised you, saying that you are a great talent in the world, and you have the world in mind, such a talent, the Hanlin Academy must accept it."

"That girl, I have a lot of love for you, which the old man has never had."

"Now that I see you, the old man has a real understanding of you, not to mention anything else, under the temptation of the master's own teaching, you can still stick to your heart, Su Qi'an, you are indeed an ordinary talent, Da Liang has you, it is indeed a blessing for Da Liang."

was praised by Wenxuan, no matter how thick Rao is Su Qi'an's skin, he can't stand it.

Being praised like this by the leader of the literary world, Su Qi'an was quite embarrassed in his heart, he knew that because of his bold words just now, the master had a little misunderstanding about him.

feels that he is a sage who really cares about the world, although Su Qi'an has such ambitions, but he definitely can't reach that kind of sage

The height, more importantly, does not want to get into too much trouble.

Now he knows that his auction in Kyoto can attract Wen Xuan to come, and most of the reasons are that he is afraid that the ninth princess has said too many good things in front of him.

This favor is very heavy, Su Qi'an was silent and kept it in his heart.

Su Qi'an took a deep breath, put down that thought, seemed to think of something, and then changed the topic.

"Master, the student has something that he wants the master to solve."

Su Qi'an's sudden inquiry was not unexpected by Wen Xuan, he spoke.

"Well, I know what you want to ask, and I can only tell you about this matter, Feng Ling's identity, it's not good to talk too much, after all, this is a royal family matter.

After a moment of silence, Wen Xuan's voice sounded, "If Suning hadn't died early, the old man really wanted to introduce you to him."

"Suning is the eldest son of His Majesty, no accident, in the year His Majesty ascended the throne, he was established as the crown prince, and he was taught by me since he was a child."

"He was clever and clever, and had his own unique views on many political affairs of the imperial court, and at the age of sixteen, he had the experience of supervising the state and assisting the government, although he was a little immature in handling some government affairs, but in time, he will definitely become an excellent emperor."

"It's a pity, the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, five years ago, Suning was contaminated with a strange disease, and his body was not as good as day by day, and he died in less than a month, that is, since that day, we are like Your Majesty, and our temperament has changed a lot."

"Without the shrewdness and ability of his early years, he was addicted to pleasures, and basically rarely dealt with government affairs, established a cabinet, and presided over the government by several first-class princes such as the Duke of Chu."

"It's a pity that the Duke of Chu is very old, and I am afraid that he will have to retire in a few years, and by then, the cabinet will be in a lot of chaos."

Wen Xuan said, then shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Su Qi'an's face was solemn, and he could feel the hidden crisis in the court.

It's no wonder that the Duke of Chu will be targeted, after all, he is the first minister of the cabinet, and with such a position of power, whoever he puts will be jealous.

Even if Zheng Guogong, Zhao Guogong, and Chen Guogong are all first-class Guogongs, they are still a lot different from Chu Guogong, who has absolute rights.

The desire to get it down is self-evident.

"Then Your Majesty doesn't care about these hidden crises behind the scenes?" Su Qi'an asked.

Wen Xuan shook his head helplessly, and said directly, "You should have seen those two most powerful princes in the imperial city, I think they have also wooed you, you can be so blatant, think about it, you should understand."

was reminded by Wen Xuan like this, Su Qi'an instantly understood.

This suspicious Majesty, on the one hand, established a cabinet, although Chu, Zheng, Zhao and other princes were powerful, but because of the distribution of power, it was a mutual check and balance.

And behind the several princes, two royal spokespersons, the second prince and the fourth prince, were launched.

In addition, in the past few years, the crown prince has not been supported, and the struggle between the two princes is acquiesced by His Majesty.

I'm afraid that in this court, except for the Duke of Chu, the rest of the first and second princes, as well as the big and small marquis, have been more or less wooed by the two princes.

No matter how chaotic the court is, neither side can help the other, and a balance is faintly formed.

Under this kind of checks and balances, it is difficult to make any big mess, this is the balancing technique of Emperor Da Liang. Look at the book

Although the court was stable, it was the hundreds of people in the states who suffered.

Because of the standing lines in the court, some officials who are far away from Kyoto can rely on the emperor to be far away, and they can be the overlord of one side.

The prince of the court stood in line, and the power of the family valve below directly led to the direct blockade of talents from poor families.

And these poor talents, if they want to get ahead, they have to join the elites of all families and become staff, so that they can have the opportunity to go further and step into the official career.

Gradually, the real poor talents were directly buried, and those who embarked on their official careers step by step, without exception, were all involved with the powerful of the family.

The end result was that the central court could not control it

The states below finally tolerated the growth of the family gate valve until it became a gate valve that could threaten the Su Liang royal family.

These truths, this Emperor Daliang should understand, but the development of the past few years, even him, can not be reversed, can only default to development.

Su Qi'an shook his head and pressed these thoughts to the bottom of his heart, although he understood it, Wenxuan understood it better.

This kind of deep-rooted and intertwined tumor, if you want to pull it out, it will definitely not happen overnight, with Su Qi'an's current strength, he is not allowed to meddle in this matter, once he intervenes, he is destined to die and be shattered.

Now, he is still silently accumulating strength and staying away from Kyoto to develop, which is the right way.

Wen Xuan sighed, also put these worries aside, and looked at Su Qi'an.

"Now you can't meddle in these things, the top priority is to study well in the Hanlin Academy, after all, there is not much time left for you, if you lose the face of the Hanlin Academy, you will be laughed at."

Su Qi'an was stunned, this was the second time he heard this, and the last time was the ninth princess's reminder to him.

This time, looking at Wen Xuan's inexplicable playful smile, Su Qi'an felt bad in his heart, there was definitely a big pit waiting for him.

Just when Su Qi'an wanted to ask, Wen Xuan turned around and left, and said softly, "Let's study in the Hanlin Academy, you will know when the time comes."

Looking at the back of Wen Xuan's departure, Su Qi'an could only shake his head helplessly and follow quickly.

In the outside world, Su Qi'an entered the Hanlin Academy, and the matter taught by the master and son spread throughout the imperial city at an astonishing speed.

The big people in the imperial city had different expressions, but none of them said much, and they didn't come to visit and congratulate.

This made Su Qi'an a lot easier, and in a flash, half a month passed, and Su Qi'an, who was in Hanlin, gradually adapted to life here.

But this calm did not last long before it was broken.

Three days later, in the imperial city, a major event will be held, the Autumn Palace.

This is not the main thing, the main thing is the list of examiners for the Autumn Palace, which caused an uproar among everyone.

It was at this time that Su Qi'an understood what the big pit for himself was.
