The four of them walked slowly towards the shooting garden in the academy.

Cen Tianyun teaches and lives in the teaching and learning area of Sheyuan. The Master and the Teacher are equipped with a separate courtyard in the school. The small courtyard is not big, but in such a capital place, there is a separate small courtyard, which can be regarded as an excellent treatment.

You must know that even some officials in the court and the central government are renting houses in the city. With their salaries, I am afraid that they will not be able to pay the housing prices of Jingshi for a while.

The four of them inquired a little and found Cen Tianyun's small courtyard.

Gao Ming stepped forward and slammed the door. For a long time, there was not the slightest movement inside.

Gao Ming shouted loudly: "Cen Jiaoxi?"

Even after shouting several times, there was still no movement inside.

However, the courtyard door of the courtyard next to it was open, and a master went out and said, "Four, Cen Jiaoxi is afraid that he will go to the restaurant under the mountain to drink, and he is not in the courtyard." ”

Bai Zhi stepped forward to salute and asked, "Master, is there a banquet for Cen Jiaoxi today?"

The Master replied, "No, no." The senior sister doesn't know that this Cen Jiaoxi is a good drinker, but he has excellent willpower, is extremely self-disciplined, and never drinks alcohol in class on weekdays. Therefore, every time I have a vacation, I will indulge myself, and I must go to the restaurant at the bottom of the mountain to drink and reward the wine worms in my belly. It wasn't until the sun went down and at dusk that he came back drunkenly with a wine gourd. ”

"Oh, by the way, he doesn't keep the wine in the gourd. When he returned, he climbed up to the roof, sat on the roof, and drank all the wine in the gourd one by one, just as the sun set. When the sunset closes and the night rises, the gourd wine is finished. Then lie down on your back on the roof, roll yourself over, and roll off the roof. He staggered into the house, hooked his hind feet, closed the door, and fell asleep with his clothes closed. ”

"When I saw him again, I had to get the next morning. And you saw him come out of the house with his hair fluffy, and take advantage of the morning sun to yawn a long and stretch his waist. Then wash up and make up, change clothes, and go out to class. ”

When the four of them heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they could all see the smiles in each other's eyes.

Bai Zhi smiled and said to the master, "The master has observed carefully. ”

The master smiled: "Don't hide it from Senior Sister, this Cen Jiaoxi is really an interesting person." He's not a reckless man with no martial arts. is a bookseller, even the old man is ashamed of himself. Old man, I have been living next to Cen Jiaoxi since I came here, and suddenly one day I found the interesting things about Cen Jiaoxi, and since then I have been interested. I always pay attention to observation, no matter how many times I observe, I don't feel bored. ”

The master sighed: "This Cen is an extraordinary person! Look at him picking up wine, watching him drink on the roof, watching him roll into the house." In every move, there is always a charm. No matter how many times you watch it, you won't feel bored. ”

Bai Zhi asked, "Does he do this every time he takes a vacation?"

The master nodded and said, "Yes, even every time the sunset is exhausted and the night rises, there is exactly not a drop of wine left in his gourd, which is so accurate." ”

Bai Zhi turned around, glanced at Gao Ming and the others, and sighed in his mouth: "Wonderful people, wonderful people!"

Bai Zhi saluted the master and said, "Thank you, master. ”

The Master returned the salute and wanted to turn around and go back to the house.

The emperor called out to the master behind him: "This master, please stay." ”

The master turned around, looked at the emperor, and asked, "Does this gentleman have words to entrust to Cen to teach?"

The Emperor smiled and said, "Words are all on paper. ”

As he spoke, he handed over an envelope.

The master took it: "It's easy to say, don't worry, sir, the old man will definitely convey it on his behalf." ”

The Emperor thanked him, "Thank you, Master." ”

The master returned the salute and turned back to the courtyard.

Bai Zhi asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, what can you do like this?"

The emperor waved his hand freely and said, "Let's go for a walk." ”

A group of four walked along the stone road of the school and walked at will.

Bai Zhi asked, "Why did Your Majesty think of looking for Cen to teach?"

The emperor sighed: "I have already heard of the way of battle formation taught by this Cen. It would be a pity to stay in the university to teach and teach. ”

Bai Zhi said: "So, does Your Majesty want to use him?"

The emperor corrected: "It's not to use, it's to ask him to go out of the mountain." ”

Bai Zhi said with a smile: "This Cen Jiaoxi also has a good reputation among the students of the academy. Your Majesty wants to use him, and there will be one less good teacher in the academy. ”

While admiring the autumn scenery along the way, the emperor replied, "Don't say that. Isn't it true that many masters and teachers in the academy are responsible for the affairs of the court and the central government while teaching at the same time? ”

Bai Zhi replied: "Your Majesty will not let him have time to teach in the academy, right? ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Grandma is right. However, how to be, I still have to ask Cen Jiao to go out of the mountain first. ”

Bai Zhi asked, "Your Majesty came to see Cen Jiaoxi today, why don't you find someone to say hello in advance, so that Cen Jiaoxi can wait for Your Majesty here?"

The emperor smiled and said: "I am here to seek talent, if I find someone to greet in advance, wouldn't it become a summons." That's not what I wanted. ”

Bai Zhi nodded.

The emperor continued: "I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, so I just came to see the scenery of the school." ”

Bai Zhi glanced at the wrinkles at the corners of the emperor's eyes, and also sighed with some emotion: "Your Majesty has worked hard." ”

"Eh," the emperor waved his hand and sighed, "The emperor doesn't dare to talk about any hard work!"

The emperor and Bai Zhi were talking as they walked in front. Gao Ming and the little eunuch followed silently behind them.

Autumn is slightly strong, the autumn wind blows, from time to time from the mountains above to bring a few fallen leaves, falling on the stone steps.

Even on holidays, students can still be seen everywhere in the school.

Some of the students in the school like the prosperity of the capital under the mountain, and they can't wait to go down the mountain to play and relax when they are on vacation. But there are also many people who prefer mountains and rocks and trees to be close to nature.

The school itself is located in the mountains, and the scenery is superb with carefully cultivated plants and trees. Even in autumn, it is a beautiful autumn scenery.

On the walking path, from time to time, golden leaves fall on the heads and shoulders of the students, like letterheads sent by the autumn wind.

Everywhere you go, you can always hear the sound of silk strings and bamboo music floating in the forest, which is the students of the music garden playing everywhere, enjoying the autumn scenery and being inspired, and expressing their hearts by the autumn wind.

The Emperor sighed, "Today's schools are much more vibrant than they were back then. Back then, I was also studying at a university, just like Hong'er. It was the most beautiful moment of my life. ”

In the words, there is a lot of emotion.

Bai Zhi quietly followed the emperor and accompanied him.

After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi said: "The second prince is very intelligent, diligent and studious, erudite and intelligent. It's just that he doesn't seem to be willing to put too much of his mind on practice. ”

Gao Ming listened to it later, and said secretly in his heart: Senior sister, are you beating the second prince's little report?

But he heard the emperor say, "I asked him to do this." After all, a person's energy is limited, how can he take care of everything and be proficient in everything? As an emperor, he commands the overall situation, but he does not need to be proficient in everything. I made him erudite and thoughtful, taking into account the strengths of others, and not focusing on spiritual practice. ”

The emperor sighed and said, "What about cultivating immortality? People from the royal family like us can seek a country that will live forever and be passed down from generation to generation, and this is enough." What is the use of wanting to live forever? If you have the heart to seek that ethereal immortality, where else do you have the heart to care for the hundreds of millions of people who live forever in my eternal day?"

The emperor has two princes, the eldest prince is far away in the frontier, and he has also made many military exploits. The second prince's study in the academy is also dazzling and outstanding. The emperor has not mentioned anything about the establishment of the postponement so far. But this time, I don't know if I missed my mouth, or did I not hide it in front of Bai Zhi?

Bai Zhi listened to the emperor's words, glanced at the emperor more, and sincerely admired: "I often hear people praise how the emperor swallowed thousands of miles and broke through the clouds. Bai Zhi heard His Majesty's words today, and he really swallowed mountains and rivers with a lot of spirit. Bai Zhi didn't know the first emperor, but thinking about it, His Majesty's broad-mindedness is estimated to be better than the first emperor. At the very least, it should not be far off. ”

The emperor smiled: "The emperor's grandfather once said that I only have the same vision as my father. ”

Bai Zhi replied indifferently: "Different angles, different opinions. ”

The emperor looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Auntie, sometimes I really can't believe that you are so young. ”

Bai Zhi smiled and motioned forward: "Your Majesty, please." ”

There is a gazebo in front of it, like an umbrella cover stretched out at the edge of the mountain wall.

The four of them walked towards the pavilion.

The emperor overlooked by the railing, and the scenery of the school was in full view.

There is an eye-catching sky plane tree in the middle of the bottom, which is very old, and the school was specially left behind when it was built. Although the tree is old, it sprouts new branches every spring, and it grows more and more luxuriant.

It's just that now it's autumn, and the sycamore leaves of a tree have faded and withered early, falling all over the ground with gold paper, leaving only the thick body of the tree and the bare branches, which open up to the sky.

The emperor suddenly said, "Autumn is coming, and winter is coming." ”

Bai Zhi replied: "Autumn goes to winter, every year is like this, natural changes, and there is no need to worry about it." ”

The emperor said: "I heard that every household in the north of the city has begun to prepare materials to protect against the cold. ”

Bai Zhi said with a smile: "Yes, in a few days, the ladies will wear beautiful mink coats, and there will be more beautiful scenery in the capital." ”

The emperor was not happy at all, and said: "Everyone loves to see the beautiful scenery, but few people mention the dirty places." I heard that an old man in the south of the city died of illness a few days ago. ”

Bai Zhi was surprised: "This, Bai Zhi has never heard of it. ”

Bai Zhi was surprised, why did the emperor care so much about such a trivial matter.

I only heard the emperor sigh: "Where did you go to hear about such a trivial matter?" The old man was thinly clothed, and he was sick and frozen. ”

Bai Zhi hesitated: "This ...... It doesn't stop there, does it?"

The emperor patted the guardrail and sighed: "The family in the south of the city is poor, and they are all strong when they are sick. As soon as the autumn wind arrived, it blew people down. In the north of the city, mink fur was placed, but in the south of the city, people froze to death. It's not winter yet. If this is the case in the capital, what about other places?"

Bai Zhi was speechless, not knowing how to comfort the emperor.

The emperor looked at the sky and said, "Come to think of it, the land of southern Xinjiang is already in full spring, right?"

Bai Zhi said: "The land of southern Xinjiang is the opposite of the season of the land of the capital, when it is spring. ”

The emperor sighed and said, "After the middle of winter, the southern rebellion should be active again." ”

Bai Zhi said: "Didn't Your Majesty send reinforcements to southern Xinjiang? After a while, the reinforcements will set off." ”

The Emperor replied, "I really don't want to move the army to the west. But Na Ba Shao is really not angry. ”

When it comes to government and generals in the army, Bai Zhi is not easy to put his beak.

The four of them silently watched the sparse autumn scenery.

The emperor suddenly sighed again and again: "Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

The emperor buckled the fence and sang.

"When the wind comes overnight, all trees wither, and half of the mountain is scattered and half of the mountain is bald. Half of the city mink Qiu welcomes the frost, and half of the city cold water sounds in the air. Half of the country is sprinkled with golden autumn leaves, and half of the country is full of flowers in spring. The territory is vast and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but in fact, they are like a baranga. The demon of the north worries the bow and crossbow, and the south worries rebel and recover. Zhumen didn't know that the cold door was cold, and the villagers pointed at the sword and scolded the monarch. How sad am I to be a king? When I sweep the snow at the door, I invite ten thousand households to drink ten thousand pots!"

Bai Zhi was half a step behind the emperor, looking at the emperor's back, which was particularly depressed in the autumn.

Bai Zhi said softly: "Your Majesty ......"

The Emperor suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

"Little Dezi!" the emperor called.

The little eunuch behind him hurriedly agreed: "The slave is here!"

The emperor said, "Have you written down all the poems I wrote just now?"

The little eunuch replied: "Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, the minions have all written it down." ”

"Okay!" the emperor waved his hand, his tone was gloomy, and he said proudly: "After returning to the palace, it will be immediately recorded in my poetry collection!"

The emperor got up and stretched, as if he felt quite comfortable enjoying the scenery for half a day, and his heart was swept away.

The emperor turned around, and became calm again, with a high spirit between his eyebrows.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "In the late spring, the building ship successfully tested the water and took a boat to the south. Auntie, I'm going to have to work hard for you again. ”

Bai Zhi respectfully accepted the order.

The emperor also deliberately looked at Gao Ming: "Little brother, my high guard, you must also be prepared." ”

Gao Ming took the order.
