Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 245 Tsinghua Temple Master(1/2)
Chapter 245: Li Xiuning, the host of Tsinghua Temple
Qin Tian Jian was just an inconspicuous government office among the many government offices in the imperial court. On weekdays, it was only used when major celestial phenomena occurred, when ministers of the court got married, or when there were major ceremonies in the court.
It reminds people that the rest of the time, how can it attract other people's attention, so the move of the Qintian Prison from the imperial city is just a small wave in the huge Chang'an City, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
There is no trace. But for Cen Wenwen and other auxiliary ministers of the DPRK, this shows Lu Zhaoci’s decision to deal with the prophecies that were rumored in Chang’an City in the short period of time. Qin Tianjian was exiled and led the way in the future.
The fate of the imperial court is no longer a matter of pretense. The officials who may have been involved in this prophecy have saved their lives, and the so-called great purge has not enveloped Chang'an as imagined.
City. Officials still go to court as usual, arguing with each other, slandering each other, or colluding together to plot something, and life is still going on as usual. Only the Ministry of War is calculating the military achievements of the fifty armies, and the Ministry of Households is again
Calculating the rewards and pensions to be issued this time, etc.
"Your Majesty, the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain is beautiful. Every September 9th, many people come to climb up and look far away!" On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, when climbing up high and looking far into the distance, Lu Zhaoci, Cen Wenwen and others also put aside state affairs.
, dressed in casual clothes, came towards Zhongnan Mountain.
"It's pretty good here." Lu Zhaoci nodded, glanced around, and saw many Taoist temples around him. He suddenly pointed at a Taoist temple on the mountainside and said, "I see that most of the Taoist temples around are magnificent, but why is that Taoist temple so beautiful?"
It looks unusually simple and has a faint Jiangnan flavor. What is its name?"
"This, this?" Cen Wenwen showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he was talking about other things. Behind him, Master Cui Ren, Chang Sun Wuji and others also showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
"Why? Don't you know that, too?" Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "This place is not bad, I'm afraid there is an expert out there! He is not driven by fame and fortune. He is a strange person. Let's go and have a look."
Lu Zhaoci walked towards the Taoist temple.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you see, we arrived at Zhongnan Mountain today. It's already late and it's time to go down the mountain. I think it's better to go back. There are still important matters to be dealt with in the court!" Cen Wenwen glanced at Master Cui Ren.
, Master Cui Ren suddenly showed a bitter smile on his face, and quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"It's noon today. I just want to go to the Taoist temple to disturb you." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "I am busy with state affairs every day. It is not easy for you to be as leisurely and elegant as you are today. Why not take advantage of the nine
On a good day like the 9th, it’s good to relax for a day. Let’s go, let’s go and have a look together.”
"Your Majesty, that's where Princess Pingyang lives. It's called Qinghua Temple!" Changsun Wuji saw this and said quickly.
"So what about Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang!" Lu Zhaoci's expression changed slightly, he glanced at everyone lightly, then gently looked at the Taoist temple not far away, and sighed deeply.
"I'm tired, please have some fun first! Qin Jiudao, go back to the palace." Lu Zhaoci said calmly, without even looking at everyone, he slowly walked down the mountain road, and disappeared in front of everyone after a while.
"Hey, that's good now." Cui Renshi glanced at Changsun Wuji and said dissatisfiedly: "Master Changsun, your Majesty is busy with state affairs all day long. It's hard to have a relaxing day, why, hey! That's good now."
"There are only so many famous places in Zhongnan Mountain. There are Taoist temples everywhere in the mountain. Who knows which place His Majesty would pay attention to?" Changsun Wuji also had a bitter look on his face. No one thought that Lu Zhaoci would actually notice Pingyang.
Where is the princess’s simple Taoist temple!….
"Let's go!" Cen Wenwen glanced at the two of them and said calmly. In his expression, he didn't know what he was thinking. When Cui Renshi and Changsun Wuji saw this, their expressions changed slightly, but they did not speak.
Following Cen Wenwen, he also walked down the mountain. Since Emperor Zhenguan didn't want to stay in Zhongnan Mountain anymore, let alone these ministers.
"Master Wei, I heard that you received many memorials from the generals who participated in the performance?" Master Cui Ren fell behind and chose to go with Wei Zheng.
"Lord Pushe, do you know this too?" Wei Zheng showed a hint of disdain on his face and snorted: "The general has great achievements and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This cannot be framed with just a basic memorial.
We know that your Majesty also knows that those who falsely accuse the General are jealous of the General's achievements and are trying to sow discord and make Your Majesty distrust the General. These people's plans are destined to fail." He said.
Ignoring Master Cui Ren, he sped up the process and caught up with Fang Xuanling and others, ignoring Master Cui Ren's murderous look behind him.
"Did you offend him again?" A faint smile appeared on Du Ruhui's face. He was originally weak. With Sun Simiao's help, he was no different from a normal person. Occasionally, he would also joke with everyone.
"I'm afraid it's not the prince's blessing to have uncle Guo like this!" Before Wei Zheng could answer, Fang Xuanling next to him said. Unlike the others, these three people had no cliques in the court, or in other words, these three people
They can be a party. Although the number of people is a little small, but Sheng is in high power and everyone is deeply trusted by Emperor Zhenguan, so no one dares to offend them.
"I heard that he is planning to marry His Highness the Crown Prince?" Wei Zheng said with a trace of sarcasm on his lips, "Who is Your Majesty? How could you agree to such a thing?"
"After some time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have to hire a teacher alone. His Majesty is also considering this kind of thing. I just don't know who the teacher will be?" Fang Xuanling showed a trace of worry on his face. The position of the Crown Prince is inherently important.
It is a bit unstable, and the prince has a kind nature, which is different from that of the emperor today. It is mostly because the emperor and the queen have a deep love for each other, and they cannot bear to hurt the queen, so they can retain the position of the prince today. In addition, Lu Zhaoci
I don't like the Guandong family in the first place, but if the crown prince and tutor is also related to the Guandong family, I'm afraid it will make Emperor Zhenguan even more dissatisfied with the prince.
"Brother Xuanling, how about you become the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince? With Brother Xuanling here, His Majesty will definitely leave you the position of Crown Prince and Tutor with peace of mind." Du Ruhui said with a smile.
"That won't work. His Royal Highness the King of Yue also admires Brother Xuanling very much. How about Brother Xuanling accept the King of Yue as his disciple?" At some point, Changsun Wuji suddenly turned his head, with a smile on his fat face.
It was so crowded that I couldn't even see my eyes. There was only a gap, and a glimmer of light showed through the gap.
"Haha, I'm a low-ranking official with little talent and little knowledge. I can't be the teacher of His Royal Highness the King of Yue. Haha!" When Fang Xuanling saw Changsun Wuji's answer, he suddenly changed his mind. He quickly shook his head and said, just kidding, like father, like son, today's Zhenguan
None of the emperor's princes is a good person. At a young age, they know how to fight with each other, win over each other's courtiers, and encourage themselves. Once you fall into it, it will be okay if the person you assist in the future actually becomes the emperor.
Once you are in the wrong team, you have to be careful. After all, kings like Lu Zhaoci are still rare in this world. I would rather be less wealthy in the future than bring danger to my descendants. This is
The motto of Fang Xuanling and others.
"Hey! Where is your Majesty?" At this time, they suddenly heard Cen Wenwen walking in front say in surprise. Only then did everyone realize that at some point, everyone had arrived at the foot of the mountain, but there was an unknown figure of Lu Zhaoci at the foot of the mountain.
There were only a dozen guards guarding a few mounts, and everyone's expressions couldn't help but change drastically...
"I have seen Mr. Liang." At this time, a guard came over and said with cupped hands.
"Where is Your Majesty?" Fang Xuanling asked nervously.
"Your Majesty has other important matters. He wants your subordinates and others to wait for you to wait for Master Li again. Tell Master Li that there is no need to wait and it is best to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible." The guard said cautiously.
"Can you see which direction His Majesty is going?" Cui Renshi said coldly.
"Okay, Mr. Cui, there is no need to ask. Your Majesty's whereabouts are not for you and me to ask about." Countless thoughts flashed through Cen Wenwen's mind, and he suddenly looked towards the mountain with a sense of place.
"I want to ask you, is there just one road to the top of the mountain?" Cen Wenwen asked, pointing to a mountain road behind him.
"What are you talking about, sir? There are many people going up Zhongnan Mountain all day long. What if there is only one way? As far as I know, there are at least three ways to reach the top of the mountain." The guard said cautiously: "Listen.
It is said that the students at Zhongnan Academy, because they were envious of the scenery of Zhongnan Mountain, specially found a shortcut to the top of Zhongnan Mountain!"
"Oh, I understand. Let's go!" Cen Wenwen nodded, nodded with everyone, and then got on the horse and said: "Since His Majesty has other important matters, he ordered us to leave first. We should return to the city early.
That's good. Drive!" After saying that, he patted his mount gently and headed towards Chang'an along the official road.
"Master Cen is so handsome!" Changsun Wuji also glanced thoughtfully at the top of Zhongnan Mountain, with a strange look in his eyes. Under the service of the guards, he climbed onto his mount with difficulty.
, I saw the horse sneezing, but it was walking on the official road with difficulty on all four legs.
"Haha!" Fang Xuanling saw it clearly and couldn't help laughing. He moved his body and got on the mount. His expression was extremely relaxed and skillful. It was incomparable to Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji looked at it.
His expression became even more gloomy. Although he was a fat man, he didn't like to be ridiculed by others.
"Let's go!" Master Cui Ren couldn't help but secretly laugh when he saw this. He also happily got on his mount and headed towards Chang'an. The depressed mood stimulated by Wei Zheng just now dissipated.
In front of Tsinghua University, a handsome young man has been standing in the small square in front of the door for a long time. His eyes are full of sadness, as if he is missing something, but there is a hint of majesty between his eyebrows.
, there was a trace of murderous aura surging around his body, which was very inconsistent with the sad look between his brows. If anyone from the court came here, they would be surprised. An emperor who has created great achievements throughout the ages actually has such a side.
Yes, this person is none other than Lu Zhaoci, the current emperor of Zhenguan.
"Hey!" Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply, as if he had made up his mind, he gently stepped forward and finally knocked on the door.
"The scenery in Xiaoguan is very vulgar, the gentlemen outside should go elsewhere!" A young voice said softly through the gate. It was obviously the little Taoist boy in the temple.
"I heard that an old friend is here, so I came here to visit." Lu Zhaoci's voice was deep, but there was a hint of magnetism in it.
As if moved by the word "old friend", the Taoist boy inside hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sir, please leave your name so that Mingyue can report to the temple owner."
"Lu! Hedong Lu!" Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and said.
"Oh, sir, please wait a moment." Obviously this boy doesn't go out on weekdays, and he doesn't even know what the three characters "Hadong Lu" mean. Otherwise, he wouldn't behave like this at this time, maybe he would have been there long ago.
He opened the gate and let Lu Zhaoci in.
After a while, Lu Zhaoci was already very anxious waiting outside, and then he saw the door slowly opening, and a boy with fine features walked out. His bony black eyes looked at Lu Zhaoci curiously, and after a while he said
: "The temple owner said that she is not feeling well today and is not suitable to see Sir. Sir, please come back!" With that, he was about to turn around and leave!….
"Wait a minute, kid!" Lu Zhaoci felt sour in his heart. He raised his leg to stop the boy and said with a smile, "I've traveled all over the country, but I still haven't seen him. There are places I can't go, and there are people I can't see."
"Hey! How can you be such a scoundrel! Let me tell you, my status as a temple master is very noble. Even those nobles from Chang'an City will bow when they see my temple master! Who are you!" Tongzi said.
Seeing Lu Zhaoci looking like he was about to force his way in, his face changed slightly, and his eyes were filled with a trace of anger, a trace of fear, and a trace of pride.
"Oh, tell me, who is your temple master? He actually has such an identity? A high-ranking official in Chang'an City must bow to your temple master when he sees him?" A rare smile appeared on Lu Zhaoci's face.
"Are you so interesting? Are you still the emperor?" At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Lu Zhaoci. Lu Zhaoci trembled, stood up, and slowly turned his head, only to see that in the palace
A beautiful Taoist nun walked out. She was wearing a goose-yellow Taoist robe and holding a whisk in her hand. She was like a fairy rising from the clouds. She was beautiful and refined, elegant but impure. Who else could she be if she wasn't Li Xiuning?
"Your Majesty?" The little Taoist boy obviously didn't expect that the person he was joking with just now was actually the current emperor. A look of horror appeared on his face, and he quickly knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
"Get up! Mingyue. Go, tea will be served." Li Xiuning glared at Lu Zhaoci with slight dissatisfaction, but saw a slightly embarrassed look on Lu Zhaoci's face, as if he had returned to the past, a high-spirited young man.
Such a trace of sincerity in front of himself.
"Haha!" Lu Zhaoci saw this and knew that the other party had agreed to let him enter the temple. He did not dare to refuse at the moment, so he walked towards the temple. Behind him, the gate of Tsinghua Temple slowly closed.
In the pavilion of Tsinghua University, under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, Li Xiuning stretched out her jade hand and gently poured Lu Zhaoci a cup of tea. The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus could be faintly smelled in it, making people unable to help but indulge in it.
"You shouldn't be here." After a while, Li Xiuning broke the silence in person, but there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows. It was obvious that what he was thinking was not what he said on the surface.
"I am the lord of the world, so there is nothing I can't do." A soft smile appeared on Lu Zhaoci's face, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"I heard that you won another battle?" Li Xiuning addressed you as "you" instead of Your Majesty. The shout was so natural, and Lu Zhaoci heard it so naturally. There seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
Same.
