Chapter 154: Eight Hundred Miles Expedited
In fact, Ju'an was not the only one who had such thoughts in the field, even the Taichang Siqing, the head of the Nine Qings, was also a little unclear about the situation.
Watching the eldest prince pulling Liu Chunsheng was really ready to ask for a word, he was extremely puzzled.
If you are courting, shouldn't you give something practical, so that people can see the benefits before it can work for you?
If you have the idea of casting a long line to catch a big fish, you should stop here, and after a little contact, you will go home with regrets.
With regrets, it is more convenient to make up for the next meeting.
Judging from the approach of the eldest prince, the direct co-optation force is a bit too small, and he doesn't even tell others who he is. If you want to say that the vision is long-term and inaccurate, it seems too hasty, and you ask someone to write something for you when you meet for the first time, who will pay attention to you in the future?
Just like the dean's way, if he hadn't learned that he was Ju'an's teacher, the next time he saw him walking into the old streets, he would have to close the door of the shop early.
......
In Zhou Huaiqing's eyes, who is the eldest prince, and how accurate is his control of details? It is obviously impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.
Could it be that this person really came here to make friends? Thinking about it like this, the eldest prince seems to be really idle on weekdays.
The eldest prince pulled the other party to the writing utensils and took out the simple and delicate pen from the box.
Holding the sleeve of his shirt with his left hand and holding a pen in his right hand, he handed it to the other party slightly, and asked unceremoniously: "I don't know if I can inscribe a painting for me on behalf of Mr. Ju'an." ”
Liu Chunsheng thought that the other party was going to give gifts, so he was inevitably vigilant.
No merit, the first time the gift giver must have its purpose, until the other party wants to let himself help with the inscription before he begins to relax, thinking that it should be Mr. Ju An in order to promote himself before he opened his mouth to refuse that it is inconvenient to write today, Liu Chunsheng of course will not refuse.
For him, what he wants now is not for someone to reward him for nothing, he didn't come to the capital to beg for food.
He wanted someone to ask him to write, and that meant recognition.
Zhou Huaiqing looked up at the hour, thinking that even if Dazai ran slowly, the news had already been sent to the palace, and His Majesty the Emperor had no reason why there would be no movement, could it be that the person sent by the palace to deliver the message was also a big belly? Then he looked at the big-bellied official with a hint of anger.
Dazai-sama smiled bitterly, and shouted in his heart that he had already sent news back when the eldest prince came, which everyone had seen with their own eyes.
Just as Dazai-sama was thinking about how to prove his innocence afterwards, a father-in-law walked in from outside with small steps.
If the father-in-law from the palace has a will in his hand, then in this small Taichang Temple, it doesn't matter what Dazai or Zhou Huaiqing, the head of Jiuqing, has to kneel down and salute.
But now no one kneels, just waving their hands to salute him, which proves that the other party is not holding anything in his hands.
That's just a eunuch.
Eunuch... The father-in-law came all the way to the eldest prince, bent down and bowed his head and saluted: "The old slave has seen His Highness." ”
The eldest prince nodded slightly, and it was regarded as a return gift.
Liu Chunsheng was shocked, the title of His Royal Highness is not something that anyone can enjoy. Under the palace, above the hundred officials, so that it is His Royal Highness.
Although it is now possible for anyone in the royal family to call him His Royal Highness, so that all the rights of this title are gradually beginning to blur, but this is already very clear about the identity of the other party.
Zhou Huaiqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming from the palace. Dazai is also relieved to hold his stomach with both hands, no longer worried about being punished afterwards.
But this Taichang Siqing has the same thoughts as before, and still thinks that even if someone comes from the palace, it is useless, even if Liu Chunsheng is passed to the palace, what can he not let him come out for the rest of his life?
Naturally, it can't, so the father-in-law came directly to the eldest prince, and it was correct to salute him first, but more importantly, the will from the palace was to the eldest prince.
The public said openly: "Your Majesty has an edict, and it is rumored that the eldest prince rushed to the palace to discuss important matters in the spring and autumn eight hundred miles. ”
Zhou Huaiqing couldn't help but be happy, and lowered his head to avoid laughing, but he heard a burst of laughter from beside him.
Looking at the voice, I saw that the big belly rose and fell obviously, and his face was immediately gloomy.
They never thought that the eight-hundred-mile rush would still be able to use this kind of place, let alone that His Majesty the Emperor would directly transfer the eldest prince away.
His Majesty the Emperor's approach is not shrewd, and if it had been some time earlier, he would have been able to avoid contact between the two and preemptively attack.
But His Majesty the Emperor in the deep palace didn't expect this eldest prince to come so quickly.
Zhou Huaiqing turned his head again and glared at Lord Dazai, he naturally didn't dare to complain that the message was too late in the palace, so he could only blame Dazai for being too slow to pass the message.
Everyone in the audience had their own ideas, but when it came to shock, only Liu Chunsheng was the only one.
Chunqiu frowned slightly, looked at the public in front of him and said, "This son will enter the palace." ”
The father-in-law saluted, "The old slave will retire." ”
Chunqiu stopped the other party, everyone was puzzled, and the father-in-law also had dry lips, and asked, "I don't know if Your Highness still has something?"
The eldest prince opened his mouth and said calmly: "Father-in-law Lao is annoyed to tell Your Majesty in advance that it is not appropriate to use the Eight Hundred Miles Rush here, please Your Majesty do not make such jokes at will." ”
The father-in-law bowed his head and replied: "The old slave remembers, so I will tell you." ”
After he left, Chunqiu turned around and looked at Liu Chunsheng, and said with a gentle smile: "I wanted to ask for a calligraphy, but I didn't expect that there was something important in the palace, I don't know where Mr. Liu settled in the city, and I would like to visit when Mr. Liu is free. ”
Liu Chunsheng hurriedly waved his hands and saluted, bowed his head and said: "The grass people don't know the true face of the eldest prince, and they have offended His Highness, so I dare to ask for forgiveness." The grass people live in the old streets and alleys, and they dare not invite His Highness to come. So even though Liu Chunsheng didn't dare to let the other party come, he still answered the other party's question.
Even if the identity is revealed, Chunqiu is still the same Chunqiu, stepped forward to help the other party and said: "You're welcome, just be standing in front of you It's not the eldest prince, it's still the Chunqiu just now." ”
Liu Chunsheng bowed his head slightly, not daring to interject.
Chunqiu said with a smile: "Do you still remember what I just said? Even if it is Mr. Ju'an, how can anyone ever look down on the vendors who steal the Spring Palace on the streets?"
Ju An nodded slightly, thinking that what he said was not unreasonable.
Liu Chunsheng raised his head, looked at the recognition and sincerity in the other party's eyes, and nodded slightly, feeling moved.
Chunqiu motioned to everyone behind him to put away the things that were opened, smiled a little embarrassedly at Ju An, and said: "Speaking of which, I also want to hide my secrets, these things have been treasured for a long time, and they were originally brought for the sake of asking for words, but now the words can't be sought, so the things will be put away first, and I will go to visit Mr. Ju An another day." ”
Ju An bowed his head slightly.
Spring and Autumn flicked his sleeves and left, everyone sent it outside the courtyard, and saluted together, Taichang Siqing said: "Xiaguan sends the eldest son." ”
Chunqiu turned around and stared at Zhou Huaiqing with both eyes.
The other party licked his lips a little embarrassed, how could he not leave when he arrived at the door?
Chunqiu didn't pay attention to him, came to Ju An, waved his hand and saluted, and then said: "Mr. Ju An has lived in the Spirit Academy for a long time, and he is often busy with teaching, so he can't talk to you. ”
Ju An greeted him and said, "Your Highness is polite." ”
Then the crowd watched him go.
The eldest prince didn't have a deep chat with Ju An when he came, but he greeted each other a few words at the beginning, and mentioned the dean when he left, only that simple.
Whether it is His Majesty the Emperor or the eldest prince, they all want to use the power of the Spirit Academy or even take it under their command, but they are careful to keep a good distance from it, just because the Spirit Academy has two deans and that sentence.
The Spirit Academy does not participate in the court, and if someone deliberately uses the court to implicate the Spirit Academy, it will definitely be a lot of big trouble.
The eldest prince knows these things very well.
After he walked away, Dazai-sama cautiously came to Liu Chunsheng's side, muttering to himself, "Stingy!"
Zhou Huaiqing naturally knew what Dazai meant, it was a deliberate slander of the eldest prince, and said angrily: "A big belly doesn't mean it's atmospheric!"
It's like scolding a street kid...
Dazai is dumb, the big belly has nowhere to put it, and how many officials in charge of the emperor's diet and sacrificial food do not steal food?
Liu Chunsheng heard someone next to him speak, and explained: "If it is really atmospheric, it will make people stay away." ”
Ju An nodded slightly and said, "Not bad." ”
Liu Chunsheng was not surprised why the eldest prince came, because the other party had already explained that he was here for Ju'an, but it was just that Ju'an couldn't find himself because it was inconvenient for Ju'an to write.
And Liu Chunsheng obviously thinks that Ju An knows who the other party is, and he wants to help himself, so he is reluctant to write.
When he came to Taichang Temple, he faced the eldest son, and then he came to Ju'an, but he didn't know how to speak.
Ju An laughed twice and shook his head slightly to indicate that he was not polite.
The group returned to the study and observed the written sacrifice together, Ju An nodded slightly, and his eyes couldn't hide his appreciation and satisfaction.
And Liu Chunsheng didn't care about the frowns and contemplation of others, but his heart beat to his throat and his eyes were a little nervous and observed Ju'an, and finally let go of the heart hanging with the other party's appreciation.
If you make a fool of yourself, you will lose Ju'an's face.
In the face of such a gentleman who helped him, Liu Chunsheng couldn't afford such a disgraceful thing to discredit him.
Zhou Huaiqing also didn't care about what other people were, held up the sacrificial words on the table with both hands, and blurted out praise: "Good words!"
Liu Chunsheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation." ”
Zhou Huaiqing still didn't pay attention to his polite words, but held the sacrificial letter by himself, squeezed the big belly slightly roughly, and walked out of the study to face the light and observe it carefully for a long time.
solemnly put it away, looked at Ju An and said with a hint of emotion: "Fortunately, Mr. Ju An has a discerning eye, otherwise I would have buried such talents." Then he arched his hands to the side, and continued: "I will now hand over this sacrificial message to Your Majesty, Mr. Liu will have a bright future in the future, and I would like to thank Mr. Ju An for his help in the future." ”
Ju An spoke: "Your Excellency is polite. ”
Zhou Huaiqing waved his hand, signaling that they should not be polite to each other, and then handed the sacrificial letter to Dazai, and said sharply: "Eight hundred miles urgently, send it to the palace!"
Dazai was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth were a little bitter and said, "My lord, it is not appropriate for eight hundred miles to be used here in an emergency." ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
Although the companion is like a tiger, and he needs to pay attention to his words and deeds everywhere in the court, but in this country that pursues freedom, no one will be resentful because of such ridicule, and if there is, it must be iron-hearted to punish the crime, if so, even if you pay attention to your words, you are doomed to be doomed.
