"How was Yuan Ying injured a few days ago?" Yuan Tiangang looked at Yuan Ren with a solemn expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Why does this matter have anything to do with that rising star Zhou Ping of Chang'an Immortal Academy?"

Yuan Ren, who was reading a book, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, why did his father go to the palace and ask himself this question when he came back?

"Say it quickly! This matter is very important, if it is not handled well, our entire Yuan family may suffer a catastrophe!

Yuan Ren saw that his father, who had been gentle in the past, was so nervous about this matter, he immediately realized something, and asked with a frown, "Father, did Your Majesty say something to you?"

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said, "Just tell me, did you have a gap with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of this matter?"

Seeing that Yuan Ren was silent, Yuan Tiangang instantly understood, slapped the table hard, and roared, "Could it be that your kid still wants to go against His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"I never thought of going against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did that day was really a bit deceitful and too much!" Yuan Ren said through gritted teeth.

"Shut up!" Yuan Tiangang yelled, "Tell me everything that day, and don't leave a word behind!"

Although Yuan Ren was resentful in his heart, the person in front of him was his father after all, so he had to tell Yuan Tiangang everything that happened that day word for word.

After listening to this, Yuan Tiangang gradually narrowed his eyes and asked, "As you said, that Zhou Ping must not be a person who is willing to live under others, we may be able to use this person to make some articles to ease the relationship between you and the crown prince......"

The head of Qintian Temple rubbed his eyes, paced back and forth in the room for a long time, and finally said, "Tomorrow, you will take Yuan Ying and call some more people to go to find Zhou Ping's trouble, do you understand what I mean?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince's purpose that day was not that Zhou Ping at all, but you! The eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Ren of Qintian Temple!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so wise and close to demons, how could he deliberately set up such a shallow bureau to calculate you? Have you ever thought about what his purpose is in calculating you?"

When Yuan Tiangang asked this sentence, Yuan Ren's heart sank, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to test the attitude of the Yuan family through the contradiction between Zhou Ping and Yuan Ying?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said softly, "You may not know that Your Majesty's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and according to my speculation, the battle for the heir will break out in the next three or five years." Ren'er, who do you think of these two princes can make it?"

"If Your Majesty dies, then the successor will definitely be the crown prince Li Ze!" Yuan Ren said firmly.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the window, and the wooden leaf window creaked, and Yuan Ren immediately realized that he had broken his promise and immediately closed his mouth.

"Don't be nervous, no one can quietly enter the Yuan Mansion except for the realm breaking powerhouse. Yuan Tiangang waved his hand, signaling Yuan Ren not to be nervous.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the second prince Li Si is too far behind the crown prince Li Ze in terms of ability, means, and favor by His Majesty, and the current Li Ze is almost equivalent to the next emperor who has not ascended the throne, so he must start cultivating his own team and strength, can you understand what I mean?"

"If you know that there is a trap and want to jump, then you are a loyal king, even if you don't get benefits in the future, the prince will not target you too much after the incident, but if you think you are smart, think you have seen through the trap, and choose to be the enemy of the prince or retreat and hibern, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Yuan Ren swallowed hard, he originally thought that he had considered the problem comprehensively enough, but now his father's words poured a basin of cold water on him.

After saying this, Yuan Tiangang sat on the chair and took a sip of the tea that had cooled, and said expressionlessly, "The cake of Chang'an is so big, the new emperor will inevitably distribute benefits to his team when he ascends the throne, if the interests are not enough, a family like our Yuan family that occupies countless interests but is not in Li Ze's team, what do you think will be the consequences?"

Obviously, if it really comes to that time, the Yuan family in charge of Qintian Temple will definitely be a big cake that everyone wants to share and eat, and the new emperor will definitely try his best to suppress the Yuan family.

Or if the new emperor is more ruthless and wants to completely carve up the interests of the Yuan family, then the fate of the Yuan family can be imagined......

"I'm sorry father, I didn't think about this matter too much!" Yuan Ren pursed his lips tightly and said, "I will definitely try my best to find that Zhou Ping's trouble tomorrow and do my best to get back the relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yuan Tiangang nodded with satisfaction, although his words today were heavier, he was still very satisfied with this eldest son of Yuan Ren, so he also pinned the rise and fall of the Yuan family on him in the future.

"Ren'er, we are ministers! Even if I have followed His Majesty for decades, I will never regard myself as his friend!"

"The relationship between me and His Majesty and the monarch and the ministers is still like this, let alone the love between our Yuan family and the royal family!"

"Remember one sentence: The love of the monarch is not intergenerational, and the righteousness of the minister is not passed on to the son!

Yuan Tiangang not only said these words to Yuan Ren, but used his decades of companionship to show Yuan Ren, the outline of the monarch and the minister, he must let Yuan Ren always remember it in his heart!

Yuan Ren looked out the window with complicated eyes, maybe it was just because he was born in the family of emperors and generals, so he couldn't help himself......

However, even if Yuan Ren wanted to find trouble with Zhou Ping, he would never dare to go to Qingliang Mountain in Chang'an Immortal Courtyard to be presumptuous, so even if he was anxious, he could only wait for Zhou Ping to leave Qingliang Mountain before he could do it.

In the past month, Zhou Ping has never left Qingliang Mountain, and has been constantly improving the lower four hexagrams in his eight-phase array here. Zhou Ping will not advance to the next realm until he gets the next ultimate object due to the reason of "For the Immortal Sutra", so the only way for him to improve his strength now is to continue to comprehend the eight-phase array diagram.

"Are there still as many rumors about me in the outside world as there were a few days ago?" Zhou Ping took the lunch box in Chu Ci's hand and asked softly.

Chu Ci shook his head with a smile and said, "Although there are still a few rumors about you, they are no longer in the way. ”

"Okay!" Zhou Ping took Chu Ci's hand and kissed it gently, "Then how about we go for a visit to Chang'an City later?" Since I came to Chang'an, I haven't visited this largest city in the world!"

Hearing this, Chu Ci chuckled, "Aren't you the most reluctant to go shopping with me when you were in Kyoto? Why do you suddenly want to accompany me today?"

Zhou Ping pinched her Qiong nose and said softly, "Shouldn't I go shopping with my lover!"

"Or do you not want to go?"

"Of course I want to!" Chu Ci was afraid that he would regret it, so he grabbed Zhou Ping's finger and bit it lightly.

"Manly man, you have to do what you say, don't think about it!"

Zhou Ping held Chu Ci in his arms, absorbing her sweetness to the fullest, the clouds on the horizon were rolling and comfortable, Chang'an October, it was a good scenery!

After eating, the two left Chang'an Immortal Courtyard and came to the bustling streets of Chang'an.

Facing the bustling crowd, Zhou Ping gently took Chu Ci's little hand, for fear that she would be squeezed away.

"This jade pendant is so beautiful!"

"And this headband, do you think I look good on it?"

Chu Ci dragged Zhou Ping to shuttle constantly in the lively bazaar of Chang'an City, although Zhou Ping has always been tired of shopping and buying things, but fortunately, with Chu Ci by his side, he can be regarded as having fun in suffering.

"Buy!" Zhou Ping waved his hand and said very heroically, "As long as you like it, we will buy it!"

Just kidding, Zhou Ping is a man who once visited the palace of the Lanyou Kingdom of Hanhai Kingdom, after the death of Ao Beihai, there are not a few treasures he looted, and now Zhou Ping is very rich!

Chu Ci was originally worried about Zhou Ping's pocket, after all, Zhou Ping almost didn't use much money when he was in Kyoto, but now that Zhou Ping has said so, what else do he have to hesitate about? Why don't you spend your man's money, Zhou Ping can't use this silver anyway.

The two of them made purchases, and it wasn't until Zhou Ping was full of boxes that Chu Ci could not stop.

Just as the two were about to go back, Chu Ci was suddenly attracted by a pair of shiny rings.

She stopped, pitifully grabbed the corner of Zhou Ping's clothes and said, "Let's buy the last one, okay?"

Zhou Ping saw that Chu Ci liked this pair of rings so much, and smiled at her, "If you like it, let's buy it, don't worry about my money." ”

Chu Ci happily kissed Zhou Ping's face, jumped up and down in front of the stall owner and asked, "How much is this pair of rings?"

"Thirty taels and one pair. The stall owner replied enthusiastically, "This pair of rings is made of colored crystals from the Western Desert, which is very sought-after in Chang'an, and many people buy it as a token of love for their lovers!

The stall owner is very discerning, and the man and woman in front of him can see what the relationship is, and selling goods also requires means, watching people set the price of dishes, which is the shrewd way of the vendor.

When he heard the stall owner say the price of the ring, Zhou Ping seemed to think of something, and there was a trace of sentimentality in his eyes.

"Slow!" Just as Chu Ci wanted to ask Zhou Ping, a voice suddenly came from not far away.

"I paid sixty taels, and I bought this pair of rings!"
