The cold wind outside the window is steep, and there is not even a single leaf on the pomegranate tree in the yard.

The crown prince Li Ji sat upright in front of the desk, next to the window that he deliberately opened.

The inner supervisor was afraid that the cold wind outside would come in and blow the prince's body, so he stepped forward and persuaded the master several times to close the window, but the prince smiled and was noncommittal.

In the end, he really couldn't bear the meticulous care of the inner supervisor, so the prince opened his mouth to explain to them.

"The dragon in the house is booming, the temperature is a little high, if the door is closed and the window is not breathable, it is easy to be sleepy and distracted, open the window to blow the cold wind can just refresh, no hindrance. ”

Rao was still worried about the prince's health, so he ordered the imperial dining room to cook hot soup in advance and bring it over.

"Master, it should be when Lord Si Shang has arrived. ”

It was getting late, and the inner prison and the guards outside the courtyard greeted each other in advance. After a while, I saw Lord Si Shang on duty following a small eunuch to the Prince's Warm Pavilion.

"Come on in. ”

The prince put the wolf in his hand and stretched his somewhat stiff back.

Since childhood, the emperor Li Xian has been exposed to the ears and eyes, the prince is also a diligent and self-denying character, often able to sit on the desk for most of the day without moving, after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some small problems on the back, although the problem is not big, but when the disease occurs, it is also uncomfortable, often the back is stiff and the pain is unbearable, and even bending over to wash the face can not be done. The doctor came over and told him that most of this kind of problem is due to long-term work, and it is a disease caused by accumulation, so you have to pay attention to rest. Every time the prince agreed well in front of the imperial doctor, he turned his face and became busy again.

The crown prince has never slackened because of this.

All these intimate internal supervisors could not see it more clearly, and when he watched the prince do things quietly, he would sometimes feel that his master and the emperor were becoming more and more godlike.

"I've seen Your Highness. ”

The duty division is not a major political secret, but they are responsible for recording the records of the hundreds of officials in Tai'an City, the records of their assignments, and even the records of going far away because of personal matters.

Since recent years, Lord Si Shang has been invited by the prince from time to time to inquire carefully, but because Lord Shang is indeed not a powerful and prominent person, there are few people who take this matter to heart.

"Get up. ”

Compared with other ministers of the court, Lord Shang has entered the prince's warm pavilion enough times to rank among the top few, and he is also familiar with the prince, but he is still respectful and does not dare to make the slightest mistake.

The other servant girls who were waiting from the side all withdrew automatically, and only the prince's personal inner supervisor was next to him.

This is also a tacit understanding and habit that has been cultivated for a long time.

"Former national teacher Zhang Fuxing and Zhang Zhenren have left Tai'an today, and when they left, only Lord Su Shiyu, the supervisor of Qintian, and Song Zhizhi ordered Lord Song to send him off. ”

Lord Shang slowly spoke after a little consideration, Zhang Fuxing and the emperor resigned from the position of national teacher, this matter is known to the whole dynasty, but leaving Beijing in these two days, it is not painful or itchy, and it is easier to say it from here.

"Master Su and Zhang Guoshi have always had a personal relationship, and Lord Song is Mr. Su's beloved apprentice, so it is natural for them to send it. It's just that in this way, I feel that people in Tai'an City are cold, no matter how I say it, they are all colleagues, but because the national teacher is a Qingshui Yamen, no one will take the initiative to make friends, and the fame and fortune are still too heavy. ”

The prince tasted the hot soup made in the imperial dining room, which was salty and fragrant, and when it was cold, he could warm his stomach by drinking a few bowls, and the personal inner prison was really not made in vain.

"Hey. ”

Lord Shang was soft-spoken, and it was not easy to say anything in front of the prince, so he could only sigh after sneering.

You go on. ”

The prince nodded, putting down the hot soup, as if suddenly he had thought of something again.

"Lian Hai, you go and ask if there is any soup made in the imperial dining room, and if so, give Lord Shang a bowl as well. ”

"Hey, the minion is going. ”

The inner supervisor Lian Hai left in response, and Lord Shang naturally thanked the prince again and again for his kindness.

"One more thing, it's just—"

Lord Shang suddenly remembered that there was another matter, but he didn't know whether to say such a trivial matter.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

The prince saw that Lord Shang was spitting and spitting, so he asked him to say bluntly, it was a confidential matter if he knew the movements of the hundred officials clearly.

"It is an offering to several concubines and nobles in the palace, Yunzhongjun. ”

"Oh, it's him, what's wrong?"

When the crown prince heard Yun Zhongjun's name, he immediately remembered the person who often entered the palace to dress as a Taoist priest, and he even heard this person's name from his father a few times.

"He left the capital before Zhang Zhenren, and the reason for this is not clear, it seems that the emperor personally approved it, and he should have gone to Yuhang. ”

"Yu Hang?"

The prince repeated the word Yuhang, but he didn't have a clue why Yun Zhongjun went to Yuhang.

Coincidentally, after Zhang Zhenren left Beijing, he also went south, and it seems that he went to this place. That's why Xia Guan remembered Yun Zhongjun's matter. It stands to reason that he is just an offering in the palace, not as good as an official position, so the lower officials hesitated whether to tell His Highness about this. ”

"Zhang Guoshi also went to Yuhang?"

"Yes. ”

Zhang Fuxing is a native of Wudangmen, he has been living in Tai'an City since he became a national teacher, and he has not left a step for more than ten years. It stands to reason that now that he has resigned from the position of national teacher, he should return to Wudang first.

Ten years ago, Qiyuan sent troops to Disha, and it was the prince Li Ji who led the army, and as a result, he broke the country and destroyed the Buddha as he wished, and now he can't even see a bald head in Qiyuan. Some time ago, my father and emperor went to Wudang, and selected a Wudang Sect person on the mountain to order the rivers and lakes, and held the world's martial arts events in the East China Sea, ranking the world's rivers and lakes martial arts list.

Especially for the Wudangmen people to pass the order, it is impossible to make a temporary decision.

Of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, in addition to Buddhism, which has the weakest foundation in Qiyuan, there are also Taoists who can have secular influence. As for Confucianism, after the guidance and transformation of the Han Emperor and Dong Zhongshu, especially after strengthening the unification and the normalization of ethics, secular Confucianism has almost become a ruling tool of the emperor's family.

At this time, it is self-evident what the Martial Arts Society and the herald mean by it.

Zhang Fuxing is the closest one to the politics of Qiyuan Temple in Wudang in the past ten years, since he resigned from the position of national teacher and went to Yuhang first, he will definitely have his reasons.

The prince was silent for a moment, and his mind was already full of thoughts.

"I see. ”

In the end, I said it lightly.

Lord Shang waited for the prince to think about it and didn't dare to disturb him, in fact, there was one more thing he had to wait until the end to say.

"The son of the Guangling royal family, the little marquis of Li Ji should go to Tai'an in the next few days. ”

"Coming for my father's marriage?"

"Yes, I heard that I will stay in Tai'an City for a while. ”

"The king of Guangling has a self-respecting army, and if he doesn't send his son over, it is estimated that he will not even be able to sleep well at night. ”

The crown prince laughed when he said this, but Lord Shang was always trembling beside him, and he didn't have the courage to laugh at the lord of one side, the king of the royal surname.
