Chapter 62: Undercurrent

Yiwang Mansion, in the back garden, the willows are still in the back, the dancing pavilion is singing, the winding path is secluded, the flowers and plants are strange, and the fragrance is fragrant.

In a water pavilion in Linchi, Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, was copying and writing, and the surrounding maidservants performed their duties, and everyone was cautious and silent.

“…… I tasted the words of the three repetitions, Jingxing sage, although there is no virtue to teach the people, Shu Guang loves to punish the four seas. Wow, the master didn't say anything, and the heresy rose up and was righteous and obedient......"

Zheng Qingzhi looked at the writing of his disciple Zhao Guicheng, bowed his head slightly, and his eyes showed appreciation.

"Your Highness, your words are becoming more and more like Emperor Gaozong!"

Zheng Qingzhi is Zhao Guicheng's teacher and Shi Miyuan's fellow countryman, and he went to serve as a lecturer in Yiwangfu, taught Zhao Guicheng, and studied the history of etiquette and scriptures, which was also recommended by Shi Miyuan.

"The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. Zheng Gong, no matter how good the handwriting is, it is not as talented as Zhao Hong! ”

Zhao Guicheng threw down the wolf hair, and the paper was immediately blackened, and he quickly said apologetically:

"Sir, the student is rebellious and impetuous. Please forgive me, sir! ”

For Mr. Zheng Qingzhi, Zhao Guicheng is still very respectful.

Yu Tianci, the staff of Prime Minister Shi Miyuan, took him out of Shaoxing, went to Siming first, and stayed in Yu Tianci's house for half a year, where Yu Tianci and his mother Zhu taught Zhao Guicheng to bathe, teach calligraphy, etiquette, etc.

When he arrived in Lin'an City, it was Shi Miyuan's fellow countryman and Guozi Xuelu Zheng Qingzhi, a great Confucian of science, who taught him.

Zheng Qingzhi is gentle and elegant, and his articles are splendid, which is deeply respected by Zhao Guicheng.

"Your Royal Highness, the official documents of Jiguo are outstanding, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is unsurpassed. The ruler is long, and the inch is short. His Royal Highness is dignified and steady, and has the advantages of His Highness, so he must not be arrogant. ”

Zheng Qingzhi softly persuaded Zhao Guicheng.

Not in case!

Such words were said, which shows that Zhao Guicheng is indeed anxious and depressed in his heart.

However, Zhao Hong's menacing is an indisputable fact.

"Gong Zheng, I heard that Zhao Hong smelted good iron in Huiji Mountain, Shaoxing, and the weapons and armor he created were all of the highest quality. In this way, he is deeply loved by the official family! ”

Sure enough, at the mention of Zhao Hong, Zhao Guicheng's face became unnatural.

Zheng Qingzhi nodded slightly. It seems that Zhao Guicheng, who is young and old, is also ambitious and unwilling to be left behind.

This is not in vain Shi Miyuan and his own painstaking cultivation.

"Your Highness, you have to cultivate your self-cultivation, calm down, and not be disturbed by external factors."

Zheng Qingzhi looked at his students with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Since the beginning of spring, some of Zhao Hong's poems have been published in the tabloids from time to time, "Qinyuan Spring. Snow", "Linjiang Immortal", "Autumn Thoughts", "Seven Words. Kyushu is angry and thunderous" and so on, and even "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Linjiang Immortal" have been repeatedly sung by restaurant singers and Goolan tiles.

The tabloids are full of Zhao Hong's poems and articles, all of which are masterpieces, to be honest, those poems are majestic, far-reaching, each of them is a masterpiece through the ages, even he is swaying in his heart when he sees it, not to mention Zhao Guicheng, who is always with Zhao Hong.

In addition, Zhao Hong smelted good iron and created powerful gunpowder, although he died, it did not hinder his prestige.

It seems that all this has deeply affected his young student.

"Gong Zheng, you said that Zhao Hong made gunpowder and caused two deaths and one injury, how could the court only punish him for a little money?"

Sure enough, Zhao Guicheng followed up and asked.

Although Tian Yi, who killed the pig, was swept to the end, everyone knew that Tian Yi was just a pawn, and Zhao Hong was unharmed.

"Your Highness, there is no way to do this. After all, Je Kok Gong created a more powerful gunpowder, which was known throughout the dynasty. ”

Zheng Qingzhi was also helpless.

If you really deal with Zhao Hong for this insignificant matter, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the people of the world. After this, who will dare to do things? Who is willing to compromise with Shi Miyuan?

"Gong Zheng, what do you say Shi Xiang's plan is? Did he just watch Zhao Hong grandstand and sit on the throne step by step? ”

Zhao Guicheng stood up, walked to a strange flower in full bloom, and squatted down to watch.

"Your Highness, pay attention to your manners! Don't be seen by the princess, and don't be seen by your subordinates! ”

Zheng Qingzhi frowned slightly.

This Zhao Guicheng brought the set in the township again.

"She doesn't care about anything, she only knows how to eat fasting and recite Buddha, and she knows her Jun'er! She never paid attention to what I looked like. ”

Zhao Guicheng stood up, his face full of anger and a little frustration.

It seems that he has been harmed by those tabloids, and his heart is in turmoil.

"Your Royal Highness, you are now the heir of King Yi, and you should pay attention to the courtesy of the princess. Zhao Hong was raised by the princess since childhood, of course, it is a deep mother-son relationship. Your Highness, look away. ”

Zheng Qingzhi softly persuaded his students.

Zhao Hong has lived with Princess Yi since he was three or four years old, and spent thirteen or four years in the Yi Palace. Zhao Guicheng became an adult and became the heir of the Yi Palace, and his status in the heart of Princess Yi was naturally not as high as Zhao Hong.

"Sir, don't say it, I know!"

Zhao Guicheng waved his hand impatiently.

"Sir, Shi Xiang will help me!"

"Shi Xiang's thoughts, how can the old man guess?"

Zheng Qingzhi understated and quietly provoked the topic.

"Your Highness, do you know Prince Jingxian?"

It's not as good as just in case, grandstanding, it can be seen from these words that Zhao Guicheng is already weak and is retreating.

"Yes, deceased prince. Sir, what's wrong? ”

Zhao Guicheng looked at his husband puzzled.

Jingxian Prince Zhao Xun, isn't he already dead. What does Mr. mean when he mentions Prince Jingxian?

"Jingxian Prince Zhao Xun was adopted as an adopted son by today's official family at the age of six, and in the second year of Jiatai, he worshiped the mighty military festival envoy and was named the Duke of Weiguo. Two years later, Zhao Xun was made the crown prince, worshiped the three divisions of the Kaifu Yitong, crowned the king of Rong, and lived in the East Palace. ”

Zheng Qingzhi looked at the ignorant Zhao Guicheng and smiled slightly.

"After Zhao Xun, the prince of Jingxian, became the prince, he was made the prince in two years. Jiguo Gong Zhao Hong, Jiading was the prince in the thirteenth year, and now four years have passed, has the official family mentioned the matter of making him the prince? ”

Zhao Guicheng suddenly realized, nodded heavily, and the person became excited.

"Mr. is saying that Zhao Hong is not loved by the official family!"

"It's not the love of the official family and the queen."

Zheng Qingzhi smiled and nodded, and his words were also meaningful.

"Your Royal Highness, don't complain about the heavens and others, fighting for the position of the prince, or even the position of the prince, is all man-made. People's hearts are long, and the queen is there, you have to visit often, and be close to each other. ”

"Mr. Wusun thanks! Mr. Daigo's words are empowered, and Wusun remembers it in his heart! ”

Zhao Guicheng was respectful and bowed.

No matter how high the literary talent is, the crown prince and the throne, that is the most important thing.

"Your Highness, if you have good news for you, you will feel more at ease."

Zheng Qingzhi looked around, said softly, and continued to cheer Zhao Guicheng up.

"Sir bluntly said!"

Zhao Guicheng was in good spirits, and he unconsciously stood up straight, full of confidence.

What I learned from Zheng Qingzhi's mouth must not be a trivial matter.

"Does Your Highness know that the Wu family, the wife of the Duke of Jiguo, has returned to Lin'an City?"

"What good news is this, sir? Zhao Hong and Wu were reunited, which is important for ......"

Zhao Guicheng was halfway through speaking, and looked at Zheng Qingzhi in surprise.

"What does Mr. mean, Zhao Hong and the Wu family, what kind of accident is going to happen?"

If not, where does the joy come from?

"Your Highness is smart and can understand everything."

Zheng Qingzhi nodded and said with a brush.

"Your Highness doesn't know that the Duke of Ji Guo wants to save the Wu family, the Wu family and the Wu family, but he doesn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Hong. If the old man's expectations are good, Jiguo Gong will immediately part ways with the Wu family. In this way, Empress Yang's side ......"

"Empress Yang and Zhao Hong, there is no room for relaxation!"

Zhao Guicheng's eyes lit up and blurted out.

The Wu family is Yang Guizhi's niece and granddaughter, and the relationship between the Wu family and the Yang family is irreversible, and Yang Guizhi will never give up easily.

Yang Guizhi manipulated the palace, Shi Miyuan controlled the court, and Zhao Hong was attacked by the enemy, is there a way out?

"Your Highness, it's better to do it yourself, don't be discouraged and slumped. This is a taboo for the wise. ”

In Zheng Qingzhi's eyes, there was a faint trace of worry.

"Mr. has good intentions, and the students will definitely live up to Mr. expectations!"

Zhao Guicheng said solemnly, polite and full of confidence.

No matter how powerful Zhao Hong is, he is just busy with some details, and it will not help in major matters.

And luck and the general trend are still on their side.

"Sir, that person is too shrewd, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

Speaking of Yang Guizhi, Zhao Guicheng's brows furrowed slightly.

"Your Royal Highness, no matter how shrewd and powerful Queen Yang is, she is only in the harem. The court and palace guards are still under the control of Shi Xiang. Besides, Yang Guizhi hates Zhao Hong, and she has no threat to Your Highness. ”

Zheng Qingzhi said softly, frowning unconsciously.

Shi Miyuan values Zhao Guicheng so much, does he really want to depose Zhao Hong and put Zhao Guicheng on the throne of the emperor?

Entrusted by people, loyal to people. He and Yu Tianci are both fellow villagers of Shi Miyuan, and their glory and wealth come from Shi Miyuan. Now, even if this is the case, there is no way back for him.

"Sir, I'm still a little worried about Yang Guizhi. Zhao Hong is the prince of the official family, and she may not be easily deposed. Besides, now that Zhao Hong is famous, she may be even more afraid of Zhao Hong. ”

Zhao Guicheng has his own thoughts.

Whoever is the emperor, Yang Guizhi is the queen mother, why should she do such thankless troubles.

Especially between herself and Yang Guizhi, she hasn't met a few times, why should she help herself?

"Your Highness is worried. But ......"

Zheng Qingzhi looked around and smiled slightly.

"Your Highness thinks that Empress Yang is a person? Behind her, there is the entire Yang family. As far as the Yang family's gentlemen, Yang Gu, Yang Shi, Yang Yi, Yang Fan, Yang Junsun, and Sun Yang Jun are all talented. If the Yang family wants to enjoy wealth forever, Zhao Hong is probably not suitable......"

Zheng Qingzhi wanted to speak and stopped, and the master and apprentice looked at each other, and they both laughed.

"Sir, I listen to you!"

Zhao Guicheng said with great interest, turned around and returned to the chair of the water pavilion, picked up the pen and continued to copy.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to be very serious.

At dusk, Zheng Qingzhi was on his way back to his residence, and he met Princess Yu of Yi, dressed in plain clothes, and came alone. Zheng Qingzhi couldn't avoid it, so he hurriedly gave Yu a salute.

"I've seen the princess below."

Yu Shi looked at the people around him and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Zheng, I have a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Yu is the younger sister-in-law of Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the queen Yang Guizhi has to give three points. Zheng Qingzhi is the same, respectful.

"Princess, please speak, listen to me."

"Mr. Zheng, the prince of Ji Guo is the prince, and the heir is the emperor's nephew. The difference between a son and a nephew, Mr. Zheng must understand. ”

Zheng Qingzhi was in shock, and Princess Yi continued.

"Mr. Zheng is a great Confucian, and the morality of his articles is impeccable. If you teach your profession, you must not think crankily and harm your two children. There are gods in the head, Mr. Zheng thinks twice. ”

Yu left, leaving Zheng Qingzhi on the spot, his face red and his ears red, sweating.
