Seeing Yu Zhi's "studious" appearance, Qiu Jinfeng smiled and said, "The old man can't teach you." ”

Yu Zhi originally had another question, and it was also an extremely urgent question, but as soon as he said it, he was prevaricated by Qiu Jinfeng to Li Qingru, and then drove Yu Zhi out of the East Courtyard.

"Grandpa An, did you say that the great cause of Qiufu didn't use some small means to punish some corrupt officials?" Yu Zhi was much more comfortable in front of Qiu An, so he asked.

Qiu An always followed behind him, leaving an arm's length or so. Hearing Yu Zhi's question, he approached a little and said, "Young Master Xiao Yu still don't want to ask." Qiu An smiled bitterly, thinking that this young master's thinking was really strange, and there were always some strange questions.

Yu Zhi said helplessly: "That's it." When I receive the reward, I will be able to learn these ways. ”

......

On the second day, Yu Zhi wanted to follow Qiu Ruoruo and the officials of Honglu Temple to Chengming Hall to receive rewards. Gonggong An in the palace sent someone to inform Qiu Ruoruo early in the morning. This must not be neglected.

At the end of Qinglong Avenue, the place where the dragon's head is located is where the Great Chu Imperial City is located. I heard that thousands of years ago, when the Great Chu Dynasty was opened, there was an immortal master who explored the luck of the Great Chu Imperial City, and finally chose the site of this dragon vein, above the head of the dragon, to suppress the luck of the Great Chu.

Horse-drawn carriages appeared one after another from Qinglong Avenue and drove towards the imperial city. If there is no urgency, the courtiers are waiting in front of the imperial city early, and only when the gate of the imperial city is opened can they enter the palace together to discuss matters and worship the emperor.

By the time Yu Zhi and the others arrived, there were already many ministers waiting. From the position of these people, it can be seen that there is a tendency to be faintly divided into two factions. On one side, the ministers were headed by Li Xiuyuan, and on the other side were the side of the king of Chu with many military generals. This also seems to represent the faction in the current battle for the prince.

The carriage of the Autumn Mansion stopped behind, and when the carriage stopped, the eyes of all the ministers in front fell on the carriage.

"What do they want to do?" Yu Zhi was watched by so many people, and his heart was uneasy. Although there are also people in the Dao Academy, there are also people pointing at him, but at the moment, these people are all figures on the clouds of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Qiu Ruoruo smiled bitterly: "In today's dispute between the two factions of the crown prince and the third prince, only our Qiu Mansion has not yet expressed its intentions. Today, they will definitely take this opportunity to test the attitude of the Autumn Mansion. ”

Yu Zhi looked through the gap in the window and looked at the two sides of the column, as if he was welcoming the ministers in the middle of the road. At one end is Li Xiuyuan, who closed his eyes and raised his head slightly. This old man has a grudge against Yu Zhi, and Yu Zhi will never be in the company of this shameless old man, so he naturally left him behind. On the other end was Xiang Jinghao, this black boy seemed to have a particularly cold gaze, staring at this side with contempt. This kid hated himself, and Yu Zhi thought about whether to let Ye Qinghuan clean up Xiang Jinghao again. The side of the prince of Chu is not a good place to go.

Yu Zhi thought about the conversation with Qiu Jinfeng yesterday, and really became a third-party figure. Yu Zhi looked at Qiu Ruoruo and said, "I can't go to either side, but it makes me difficult." ”

Qiu Ruoruo covered her mouth and chuckled: "Grandpa said, go over there with you." The Qiu family can follow you. ”

Yu Zhihu stared at Qiu Ruoruo suspiciously, this is the question he asked yesterday - why did the Qiu family help themselves?

If the dispute between the prince is not careful, it will end up being a family raider. Why is the Qiu family willing to take such a risk to support themselves?

"Brother Xiaoyu, don't you think this is a good thing?" Qiu Ruoruo is smart. Last night, Qiu Jinfeng chatted with her and let her know a lot of things.

"Nature is a good thing. However, I can't be the master of this for a hairy boy. ”

Qiu Ruoruo was still smiling, and there seemed to be some secrets hidden in the smile.

Yu Zhi stepped out of the carriage first, and then Qiu Ruoruo. The carriage of the Autumn Mansion was followed by those officials of the Honglu Temple. Led by Cui Wenqi, he walked towards the side of the prince of Chu. And Yu Zhi and Qiu Ruoruo stood in the middle of the two sides a little awkwardly.

"What faction are those people from?" Yu Zhi looked at the group of people in the corner of the imperial city and asked.

Following Yu Zhi's gaze, there was also a group of ministers in the corner of the imperial city gate, and most of them were petty officials and petty officials.

"These are officials who have no factions. Perhaps because they have no power in their hands, neither side looks down on these people. Not only these people, but there are also many factions in the court that disdain to join the dispute between the princes. ”

Yu Zhi smiled: "Then are we considered to be on the same side as them?"

Qiu Ruoruo also smiled, thought about it, and said, "It's okay."

Yu Zhi walked towards the group. Those people don't know Yu Zhi, but they know Qiu Ruoruo. Miss Qiu received the mission, and no one knew about the completion of the negotiations. Being able to be valued by His Majesty at a young age is much better than these petty officials and officials.

Words of beauty followed. Qiu Ruoruo also responded one by one, and took this opportunity to introduce Yu Zhi to these adults.

There are some words in the officialdom that are not clear, but everyone can understand the meaning. This is the principle of being an official. Qiu Ruoruo lightly pushed Yu Zhi to the table, and these people also bought it.

Riding in the same carriage with Miss Qiu, it was introduced by Miss Qiu in person, and there seemed to be the shadow of Mrs. Qiu behind her.

This young man's identity is not simple.

Could it be the illegitimate son of the Autumn Commander? No wonder Qiufu is not worried that no one inherits the incense, and there is already a man.

The ministers of the court are good because they have the ability to see the subtleties. Of course, they are not to blame. Which of those ministers in the court does not raise a concubine outside, this is nature.

Perhaps they have already begun to think in their hearts that the young lady in the family will not be able to get into the eyes of this little Yu Gongzi.

Yu Zhi knew that these adults had such "dirty thoughts" hidden on their enthusiastic smiling faces, and they responded enthusiastically. At this time, Xiao Jinghong came from behind and patted Yu Zhi on the shoulder.

Yu Zhi looked at it in a blink of an eye and saw that it was Xiao Jinghong who hurriedly saluted and called His Royal Highness the Prince. Qiu Ruoruo once said that Xiao Jinghong came to visit.

Xiao Jinghong was also enthusiastic and said: "Seeing that you are fine, I feel at ease." In the future, I often come to the house to drink. ”

The inexplicable enthusiasm made Yu Zhi overwhelmed and a little scared. These officials may be because they want to tie up the Qiu Mansion, but why is Xiao Jinghong?

The prince of Zhao Wangfu, whether it is his status or other aspects, is much better than Yu Zhi.

"So what exactly does he have in mind for me?" Yu Zhi looked at Xiao Jinghong's smiling face, and became vigilant in his heart.

Yu Zhi naturally saluted and thanked him again, "I survived this time, thanks to His Highness." As he spoke, Yu Zhi pretended that the wound hurt again.

A trace of surprise crossed Xiao Jinghong's eyes, and then he immediately said with concern: "Take care of your injuries." This look is as if the two have been friends for many years.

In fact, when Yu Zhi was assassinated, he didn't know Xiao Jinghong's reminder, and Xiao Jinghong only now knew that his words had been fulfilled, and Yu Zhi was in danger.

Yu Zhi looked at Xiao Jinghong's back as he left, and said, "Which one is this guy?" The crown prince is still the third prince. ”

Qiu Ruoruo is now like Yu Zhi's think tank, knowing everything. "According to the current situation, Zhao Wangfu does not belong to any party."

"Huh? Neither of these parties will fight for this His Royal Highness King Zhao? This is His Majesty's younger brother today, and he is somewhat closer to His Majesty than others. Yu Zhi wondered.

"Prince Zhao is a special existence in the court. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, after King Zhao was crowned king, he was outside the court and did not stick to anything in the court. Therefore, the crown prince and the third prince should look down on this uncle. Therefore, the prince of Zhao Wang can't get into their eyes. ”

Yu Zhi nodded, in the past two days, Qiu Jinfeng and Qiu Ruoruo's mouths have understood many things. It took ordinary people years to figure out the situation between the DPRK and China, but it was only a day for Yu Zhi to understand it thoroughly.

That's the benefit of the heritage.

"Brother Xiaoyu, if you can let go of the matter with Li Xiangye, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good choice." Qiu Ruoruo suggested.

"Why?" Yu Zhi asked. Immediately, his eyes looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was still closed.

"First, the crown prince is already the crown prince, and His Majesty has already preferred more in his heart when he made the choice of the prince. Now there is Li Xiang's side joining, which is enough to compete with the side of the three princes,"

"Second, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a gentle temperament, and I think Brother Xiaoyu and him can become good friends. The prince of Chu has a high-flying and domineering personality, and he will not be compatible with you. And he is a good friend of the three princes, and he is reluctant to be an inconspicuous helper, I am afraid that he has wronged you. ”

"Three." Qiu Ruoruo's eyes darkened, "Grandpa asked me to warn you not to join the side of the three princes." ”

Yu Zhi listened to Qiu Ruoruo's analysis and said, "Qiuqiu, how did you become the prince's lobbyist?" And do you know what? Yu Zhi felt suspicious. Why didn't Qiu Jinfeng say it himself, but let Qiu Ruoruo say it?

Qiu Ruoruo was at a loss and said, "I also want to know something, but grandpa kicked me out of the East Courtyard." Qiu Ruo vaguely guessed that those things that were silent were very important to Yu Zhi, and they might be a big secret.

Yu Zhi sighed, he thought about this matter still to ask his aunt. If my aunt doesn't say it, no one will say it.

As soon as the time came, the gate of the imperial city opened, and the ministers rushed in. Behind the towering vermilion palace walls is the residence of the emperor. The ministers walked along the avenue paved with white marble tiles,

Chengming Hall is the place where the courtiers deliberate, the sunlight reflects the sparkling, and the golden tile cornices are carved with the true dragon that spreads its wings and takes off, which is extremely majestic. The door of the vermilion hall was wide open, and you could see the sporadic fires in the palace from a long distance.

Flowing water flows on both sides of the Chengming Palace, surrounding the entire palace. The warm sun is the palace maid, and she will put a few koi into the water.

Yu Zhi looked at the towering palace, and then looked at the long road, and he already felt tired. But he still walked with Qiu Ruoruo.

Along the way, Qiu Ruoruo once again talked about the etiquette in the palace, lest Yu Zhi's casual temperament make a mistake.
