Xu Mansion, Yao Pu stood in the atrium with his hands behind his back, Xu Yuanshan and Xu Jiyan stood on his side, watching the officers and soldiers who were searching for report one after another: "Prime Minister, I didn't find it." ”

After the search was completed, there was still nothing, Yao Pu nodded, looked at their father and son, and smiled as kindly as a spring breeze: "Lord Xu, I will go back to report to Your Majesty first." ”

Xu Yuanshan bowed: "The prime minister walks slowly, and when the time comes, I hope that the prime minister can say a few good words for my Xu family." ”

Yao Puwei nodded: "Where, Lord Xu still blames these officers and soldiers for not knowing the importance of their hands." ”

After sending Yao Pu away, Xu Yuanshan and Xu Jiyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the huge Xu family, this search lasted for more than four days. Although Yao Pu has the reputation of being virtuous, his means are not ambiguous at all, and he was worried for four days, and finally sent the Buddha away.

"Call your sister to the front room." Xu Yuanshan raised his legs and walked in.

When Xu Mu came over, he saw Xu Yuanshan's gloomy face.

"Father." Xu Mu knelt down and bowed to Xu Yuanshan, who was sitting on the main seat, "My daughter has tired you. ”

"I always thought you were a righteous child, and I never thought of you......" Xu Yuanshan looked at his little daughter who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't bear to say too harsh words after all, "You are confused." ”

"The father taught him that his daughter knew that he was wrong." Xu Mu lowered his head and didn't see his expression.

"The lives of more than 200 servants in my clan are very important, whether it is you or your brother, you must always remember this, since you are the son of the Xu family, you should bear such a heavy responsibility. The taller you stand, the more people hope to drag you down and step on in the mud, and you have to be cautious and cautious in everything you say and do. ”

Xu Jiyan nodded on the side: "Father's words should be kept in mind. He glanced at Xu Mudao, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Father, let's let Amu get up first." ”

Xu Yuanshan's face softened slightly: "Get up." ”

Xu Mu stood up, she took out the wooden leaf jade pendant that Jiang Churan gave her from her arms, and presented it to Xu Yuanshan: "This is for your majesty to her daughter." ”

Xu Yuanshan took it, Konoha meant "high ascension", and he was puzzled: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" ”

And Xu Jiyan glanced at Xu Mu complicatedly, and he more or less guessed: "Such a grand favor is known for its blessings and misfortunes." ”

She also looked at her brother: "Brother's concerns, I know, now that we are firmly tied to Your Majesty, as long as we do things for Your Majesty in peace, we will be safe and sound." ”

Xu Yuanshan sighed for a long time and said: "No matter how rich and powerful it is, it can't withstand the emperor's words." ”

……

Deqing Palace.

Yao Pu stood in front of Jiang Churan, and he recorded the results of the search in the past few days in an orderly manner and put them in front of her: "The Xu family did not find any prophecies, as for the rumors of Dai Ninglou, the minister did find a person, but when the minister's people found it, the person was already afraid of the crime. ”

Jiang Churan let out a "hmm" indifferently. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Yao Pu looking at her directly, as if she was ...... Asking for praise.

Jiang Churan's eyebrows jumped fiercely: "The teacher has worked hard. She praised symbolically, and then said, "But Yao Xiang seems to like Shijun very much?" Jiang Churan's tone was light.

Yao Pu listened to her words, but there was no wave on his face, and he also said indifferently: "The minister is rude." ”

"Teacher." The little emperor suddenly called him.

"The minister is here."

Jiang Churan put down the lake pen in his hand, and looked at him with one hand on his cheek: "What token did my mother give you?" ”

Yao Pu pondered for a while, as if he was entangled.

Jiang Churan frowned, and his tone was aggrieved: "What? Is there anything I can't say about the teacher and me? ”

Yao Pu was obviously stunned, Jiang Churan hadn't talked to him like this for a long time, since when? Xu is the queen of her ascension......

He hid his expression and said in a low voice: "Naturally not, it doesn't hurt if Your Majesty wants to know, Emperor Xian, what you give to your ministers is a chain of beads." ”

Jiang Churan looked solemn again, and instructed: "The teacher should take good care of it!" ”

"The token is valuable, and the minister has always kept it close to him."

Jiang Churan nodded, as if praising it: "It's so good." ”

Yao Pu looked at the little emperor's undoubting expression, a smile appeared on his face, and he was satisfied: "Since he has returned to his life, the minister will retire first." ”

"Teacher, there's no hurry." Jiang Churan stopped him, "The teacher has always been very attentive to his work, and I have asked Yun Niang's private treasury to get the rewards, so the teacher will wait for the time being." ”

"Yes." Yao Pu bowed slightly, stopped talking and stood aside.

Jiang Churan also opened the fold on the imperial case and stopped looking at him, and Yao Pu stared at her for a long time the moment she lowered her head.

She was right, Yun Zhi soon returned, and she dragged a mahogany plate with a layer of Shu brocade on top, on which a delicate box was placed.

Yun Zhi directly presented the tray in front of Yao Pu, Jiang Churan raised his head, and the golden phoenix hairpin on his head was vivid: "Teacher, open it and take a look." ”

"Yes." After Yao Pu finished speaking, he stretched out his left hand to take the brocade box, his right hand brushed the sleeves, and the slender and bony fingers looked particularly good against the backdrop of mahogany, and the box was opened with a light twist of the fingertips.

The object is a silver body carved with moire and a reference to a red jade.

"Do you still like it?"

Yao Pu closed the brocade box and looked at the emperor with a smile: "This thing is valuable, thank Your Majesty." ”

"If the teacher likes it, it's fine."

……

After Yao Pu left, Jiang Churan didn't look at the music anymore, she was in a daze, her fingers tapping on the table.

"Yun Niang."

"The slave is here."

Jiang Churan didn't say anything, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, put away her finger and said: "Let Shuming Pavilion keep an eye on the Du family recently, especially the Du family's concubine." ”

"Yes."

Turning her head to look out the window, it was already sunset, she stood up and walked to the bookshelf behind her, and pulled out a book from the upper floor, which was very thick, and on the silk cloth cover was three big characters full of pen and ink: "Imperial Art".

It was Zhenning's ten years, the first book she read when she was seven years old, and it was also that year that Yao Pu was summoned to the palace and became her teacher.

At that time, Yao Pu was only twelve years old but had already followed Jiang Junlan to fight on the battlefield, he was praised as a "young talent", with the quality of a man, the face of the general, is the life of the three elephants, and behind him is the rich Jiangnan Yao family, such a life experience makes many people blush.

I still remember the first time she saw Yao Pu, she was not a kind-faced person, the young man had a cold face, holding a six-inch jade staff in his hand, and followed behind Jiang Junlan.

Jiang Junlan pushed him in front of Jiang Churan and said: "Aiqing can be described as the only one in a hundred generations, you and my imperial daughter are the same age, you are the emperor's master, I can rest assured." ”

She also said: "Since you have the responsibility of a master, I also give you the power of a master, and if the emperor is stubborn, she can be punished." ”

Jiang Churan was not timid about him, a cold-faced master, at that time, so she handed this book of "Imperial Technique" to Yao Pu: "Teacher, you tell Benjun about this book." ”

And Yao Pu just stared at her silently and didn't reach out to take it.

Jiang Churan's black grape-like eyes also looked at him, she was a little annoyed by Yao Pu's inaction, but her voice was soft: "What? The master is arrogant and unwilling to teach the king? ”

At that time, she had heard about this young and prestigious young man, and Jiang Junlan told her: This person will assist her, and she will be in the dark.

Suddenly, the young man's expression was indifferent, and he seemed to bend down to make amends: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

For the next five years, Yao Pu has been accompanying her in the palace, Jiang Churan is in the Spring Palace, and he temporarily lives in the front hall of the palace......

Jiang Churan came back to her senses, and Yao Pu taught her a lot: diligent government and love for the people, good as flow, virtuous and sage; Unrelenting, tyrannical......

She stood in front of the window, opened "Imperial Art", and wrote: The monarch, the son of heaven, rich from all over the world, lives in the great avenue...... The power and dignity of the emperor are extremely spoken.

But Yao Pu added after this sentence: stop at benevolence.

Yao Pu has been telling her: Your Highness, if you listen to the ministers, you can get the emperor.
