Chapter 23: The Confucian Mind
A few days passed, many Confucian children came to visit, and Fusu also stayed in the dormitory for a few days.
Ying Zheng knew that those Confucian people were bent on admiring Fusu, and he also knew that Fusu was the best of his sons except for Zhao He.
But he just doesn't like Fusu's temperament.
Listening to Tie Yingwei report to himself which people had been to the Fusu Palace in the past few days, Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't seem to pay attention to it at all.
After a while, Ying Zheng's eyes opened slightly, and he said:
"There's been no movement over there in Huhai these days? Didn't he dislike his big brother? ”
Iron Eagle Guard:
"Back to Your Majesty, Prince Hu Hai has not gone out in the house these days, but Zhao Gao and others have been moving around frequently."
Ying Zheng sneered when he heard this, and his eyes were cold:
"Then take a good look at Hu Hai, and then send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Gao. This eunuch, I see if he wants to die! ”
Iron Eagle Guard was ordered to retreat, while Ying Zheng continued to close his eyes and rest, as if nothing had happened.
In Fusu's dormitory, Wang Juan was chatting with Fusu.
Fusu saw that there were too many people walking around in the past few days, and Rao was a little tired of reception, so he complained to Wang Juan:
"Lord Wang, tell me what these people want to do? When I was in Baiyun County, I did not see any of them exchanging letters with me. ”
"These days have been very attentive, and very boring."
Wang Juan sighed secretly and said:
"If Childe is boring, you can tell the visitor not to receive it. You are a prince, how can you show up at will? If someone comes to Your Majesty and says that you have formed a party for personal gain, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not like it. ”
Fusu shook his head, and then spoke:
"No, it's boring, but I think they're sincere. Besides, whether I discussed the government with them or not, I just discussed Confucianism with each other, and my father would not care. ”
Wang Juan shook his head, and the disappointment in his heart began to slowly accumulate.
At this time, Fusu thought about something, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he sat up straight:
"Lord Wang, can you find out where the strange man lives, and can we go and pay a visit?"
The disappointment in Wang Xuan's eyes when he heard this also eased slightly, and he was still a little relieved in his heart, at least Fusu still knew that he was optimistic about people who His Majesty was optimistic about.
But every now and then, Li Si's words lingered in his ears.
Wang Juan pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind:
"Childe, Rong Chen went to find out the news of the strange person. After all, every time His Majesty comes into contact, I don't know where that person lives. ”
After Wang Huang left, he gathered the other Confucian disciples together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the prince of Fusu has returned to the court, we should do our best for the prince."
"Today's son told me that he wants to meet strange people, but I don't know what news you have."
After a quiet while, a 40-year-old man with a big belly arched his hand and said:
"Lord Wang, the trace of this strange person is indeed difficult to find, but every time His Majesty looks for that person, Li Si will follow left and right, why not ask Li Si?"
Wang Juan glanced at the man who spoke, and said:
"Lord Li is different from me, let's find a way to find out on our own."
At this time, another man spoke:
"Lord Wang, this time Fusu Gongzi returns to the dynasty, does Your Majesty have any intention of establishing a prince?"
As soon as these words came out, they ignited everyone's topic at once.
Why are they sitting here, just for the sake of the reserve?
They are all supporters of Fusu, Fusu is the eldest son, and his virtue is good, and in their opinion, the throne must be Fusu's.
As long as Your Majesty establishes a prince, then they must have the merit of following the dragon.
Looking at the flattering look on everyone's faces, Wang Juan felt a burst of disgust for no reason.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is now in good health, and the prince of Fusu has only thought about returning to the dynasty, and the matter of establishing a prince cannot be rushed."
As soon as the words fell, an old man with a gray beard stood up, arched his hand and said:
"Lord Wang, we are supporters of Fusu Gongzi. Fusu Gongzi has a pure temperament, and we can understand it, but we can't sit idly by. “
"As courtiers, we should share our worries for our son. According to the old man's opinion, we should fight for the position of prince for the prince. ”
Hearing the voices of everyone echoing one after another, Wang Juan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He is also a big fan of Fusu, but he knows that everyone here is for Fusu to respect Confucianism after he ascends the throne.
Li Si's words always reminded himself that His Majesty is not yet old, what is the difference between doing such things as a courtier and plotting rebellion?
Wang Juan arched his hand and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, since you have a good plan, I won't say much. Everyone, do it for yourself. ”
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving everyone looking at each other.
The old man who had spoken before stood up and said:
"Hmph, since Lord Wang doesn't want to mention this matter, then I, the Confucian disciples, should relieve my son's worries."
"Let's discuss a good plan together to promote the prince of Fusu to the position of prince as soon as possible!"
"Good."
After Wang Juan left, he was terrified. He had a vague premonition that if he intervened in this matter, something bad would happen in the future.
Although His Majesty did not mention the matter of establishing a prince, he must have made a decision in his heart.
When the prince of Fusu returned to the dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty must have doubts in their hearts.
The main Meng Yi and Meng Tian are not there, otherwise the burden on their bodies is much easier.
Wang Juan let out a long sigh and walked leisurely towards home.
At this time, Fusu was also bored in the dormitory.
Before, in Xianyang, I drank wine and talked with Confucian disciples every day, wouldn't it be happy.
was demoted to Baiyun County, and it was extremely boring all day long, and there was no one to talk to.
I've finally come back, do I want to stay in this dormitory again?
Fusu thought about it and called the chamberlain:
"Tell me about what is interesting in Xianyang recently."
The inner servants were sent from the inner chamberlain after Fusu returned to the palace, and they would also go out to do some shopping work on weekdays.
Hearing Fusu's question, the chamberlain bowed down and said:
"Back to Gongzi, there is a wine shop in Xianyang City. On weekdays, the villain saw many literati and scholars going to throw pots and drink, talk about Taoism and paint. ”
Fusu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:
"Where is Xianyang?"
"Back to Gongzi, in the south of Xianyang, you can find a place by asking casually."
Fusu was overjoyed, rewarded the servant with some silver, and began to prepare to go out of the palace to play.
The chamberlain who took the bounty walked out of Fusu's dormitory, and instead of returning to the chamberlain's mansion, he walked towards another small door.
In front of the door of a side room, the chamberlain stopped and knocked rhythmically on the door:
"Fusu Gongzi recently wants to go to the Huayuan wine shop in the south of the city."
In the middle of the night, a piece of gold cake was thrown out of the room. Seeing this, the chamberlain was overjoyed, and quickly looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he picked up the gold cake and walked away quickly.
After the waiter left, a voice faintly came from the room:
"Contact 100 schools, Fusu Gongzi has been going out recently."
There was still no one outside the door, but a voice came from nowhere:
"Whoa."
