Emperor Taikang sat majestically on the dragon chair, his eagle-like eyes sharply looked down at the six worshipers in the hall.

In Wen Sanjia, he knew Xu Ci, the number one scholar, and Xu Ziya, who was second in the list. Tanhua was from a poor family, named Yan Si.

Among the Wu Sanjia, the number one scholar, Gongsun Yu, is the younger brother of Gongsun Tuo; the second place, Fei Zuo, is a collateral descendant of the Fei family;

Emperor Taikang ordered the secret guards to monitor and investigate Xu Ci, and found that Xu Ci was accompanied by five loyal subordinates.One of them is called Ah Si and the other is called Ah Niu, but they are not exactly these two.

It is a new and interesting thing that the two civil and military Tanhuas are both Xu Ci's subordinates.

Emperor Taikang narrowed his eyes and looked at the two young men surnamed Yan, heh, one is shrewd and the other is simple and honest, they are very complementary.I have some plans in my heart, since it is so, why not throw them out together to practice.

After a round of defense, Emperor Taikang had some understanding of the dispositions of several people in the hall, and began to appoint officials and ranks.

"Gongsun Yu, I will designate you as a ranger captain, fifth rank, and be incorporated into the Zhenbei Army."

"Fei Zuo, I have appointed you as a member of the Ministry of War, Wailang. From the fifth rank, you will immediately go to the Ministry of War to take up your post."

"Yan Niu, I have entrusted you as Zuo Biejia to engage in history, from the fifth grade, to obey the orders of Jiangnan Taoist history."

"Xu Ci, I entitle you to be the crown prince Xianma, the fifth rank, to assist and serve the crown prince."

"Xu Ziya, I entitle you to be the editor of the Imperial Academy, the sixth grade, and immediately go to the Imperial Academy to take up your post."

"Yan Si, I have entrusted you as Youbiejia to engage in history, from the fifth grade, to obey the orders of Jiangnan Taoist governor."

It can be said that the grade of this job has been improved compared to previous times.At that time, Xu Changzong was promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the fourth rank because Emperor Taikang reused the poor family's children, but it was only that time.

The number one scholar in the original article was edited by the Sixth Rank of the Hanlin Academy, the second place was edited by the Seventh Rank, and so on.

The top three talents need to experience for a period of time before they can continue to be promoted.

Now, none of these top three civil and military ranks is below the sixth rank. Emperor Taikang can be said to have once again demoted talents in an eclectic manner.

Xu Ci was already very satisfied with the result, and he won the first prize in the examination with his own strength in this life.He thought that he would start working in the Imperial Academy, but he didn't expect that he would be the fifth-rank prince Xianma. Apart from being quite surprised, he was also full of joy.

The fate of the world is really wonderful, it seems that there is always a tie that connects him with the person he misses.

In his previous life, when he was a teenager, he had been doing nothing for more than ten years. When Xu Ziya's high school champion and Xu Changzong praised him in every possible way, he was jealous, and Xu Ci had the idea of ​​entering the court as an official.

From then on, he had the idea of ​​clinging to the prince, and his mind was no longer as pure as when he was reading with the prince at the beginning of the year.

Xu Ci begged the prince to open the back door. At that time, he was eighteen and the prince was twenty-two.

Xu Ci's disobedience and arrogance made him a small official, so he tried his best to beg the crown prince to give him a high-ranking official.

The crown prince was fledgling at that time, but he still readily agreed, and after asking Emperor Taikang for instructions, he directly served as the third-rank governor of Yangzhou.

But because of this matter, the prince has been criticized several times in court.Thinking of this now, Xu Ci is full of self-blame.

In this life, he won the first prize in the examination, and Taikang appointed him as the fifth-rank prince Xianma to assist the prince.The name is justified, and the prince will not be caught again.

Although Ah Si and Ah Niu were wondering who this Jiangnan Dao governor was, but hearing that the two of them worked together as the Jiangnan Dao governor, they took care of each other, they were immediately happy and looked at each other with a smile.

And Xu Ziya, who was the lowest in rank this time, was no longer jealous and envious of Xu Ci like he was five years ago.

How other people are the good fortune of others, what does it matter to him, people are incomparable, birds are incomparable, and now he only hopes to do a good job of writing in front of him.

Gongsun Yu was crying. He thought that he could finally get rid of his elder brother's discipline after winning the exam, but he finally got rid of his elder brother's eyes. Gongsun Yu cried in his heart, God really wants to kill me!

But Fei Zuo's face is plain, and the city is quite deep, making it difficult to guess his mind.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been back to Beijing for a few days, but because he is busy with political affairs and has no time to spare, Xu Ci dare not disturb the meeting.

This bored Xu Ci, he couldn't wait now.Except for the day when Li Haochen returned to Beijing, when Xu Ci was lucky enough to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince for a period of time, he never had the chance to meet the Crown Prince again.Now that he entered the palace to meet the saint, Xu Ci didn't want to leave so easily.

He caught up with Emperor Taikang who was about to leave, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to visit His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Emperor Taikang had heard Master Puhui's words earlier, and wished that Xu Ci would get tired of being with Li Haochen every day, so he issued another oral order, "Xu Aiqing is now the crown prince Xianma, and he can go to the East Palace by himself in the future, without asking for instructions."

Before leaving yesterday, Master Puhui suggested that the prince should go to the East China Sea to search for it, and he might gain something.

Emperor Taikang firmly believed in Master Puhui's words. He was still an unfavored prince back then, and the prince had someone else.The former emperor once called Master Puhui into the palace to look at the face of the prince and princess, read the horoscope, and predict the future.

And how many of these predictions will come true in the future is really miraculous.

He scoffed at this at first, and only thought that these remarks about destiny were nothing more than quack tricks, which was not to be believed.Above the main hall, Master Puhui didn't say much about the prince at that time, he only said that the prince is a dragon and a phoenix, and he can accomplish great things.

There are joys and sorrows, good and bad, and good and bad words to the fate and future of other princes and princesses, and they don't just speak kind words just because the other party is a member of the royal family.When he came to him, the master just shook his head, saying that his fate was ill-fated and his fortune was poor.

However, when the crowd dispersed, Master Puhui whispered to him in a place where no one was around, that he was destined by destiny, but the road was dangerous and difficult, but every time the danger turned into good luck.And told him that there is no need to fight, just follow the sky.

It can be said that he picked up the throne for nothing. The royal family struggles of his generation were cruel and ruthless. They fought with each other and fought to the death in the end.And he listened to Master Puhui's words, he practiced wisely and protected himself, and he survived to the end.

When the first emperor saw the entire royal family, only he and Prince Gong were left, and Prince Gong was born as a court lady, with a high status.The first emperor had no choice but to make Emperor Taikang the crown prince and inherit the Datong.

Afterwards, when he was enthroned as emperor, he went to Zhongnan Mountain to meet Master Puhui in person.At that time, I asked Master Puhui how he dared to speak so boldly to a prince who was not valued at that time, and he was not afraid of losing his life.

What's more, if Master Puhui had revealed this secret to the prince at that time, Emperor Taikang would have died long ago.

Pratt Hui Master Amitabha spoke a few words of Buddhism, and in the end he only said hexagrams and celestial phenomena.And the reason why going down the mountain to help him is also inspired by the way of heaven.

Master Puhui was sympathetic to the sky and people, so he couldn't see the state of mourning everywhere. At that time, the prince's way was the way of killing, and only Emperor Taikang was the way of benevolence.

When the crown prince was born, Emperor Taikang invited Master Puhui again, but Master Puhui sighed again and again.This star belongs to Jupiter, which is quite mysterious, and it can be a lucky star or a disaster star.One thought to become a Buddha and one thought to become a demon, whether one can become a Buddha or not, all depends on the prince's one thought.

Although Master Puhui didn't say much, Emperor Taikang already had some points in his mind, Chen'er might not be the real son.

But so what, he and his beloved son deserve the best.

Emperor Taikang repeatedly asked about the solution. At that time, Ziwei star had not yet appeared, and Emperor Taikang was devout. Master Puhui said that he would go back to Zhongnan Mountain to study the way of heaven. He will come back 19 years later, if Li Haochen still has a kind thought in his heart at that time, then there may be a way to break it.

Before the crown prince returned to Beijing, Master Puhui had already entered the palace.That day, when he was discussing Buddhism with Emperor Taikang in the back hall of the imperial study, the prince happened to ask for an audience. Master Puhui wanted to look sideways at Li Haochen, so he asked to hide behind the imperial study and listen.

At the right time, Li Haochen, who was covered in killing and entangled in resentment, still had kindness in his heart, striving for the welfare of the people of Beiguan.Master Puhui was quite surprised, but he saw that although he was full of evil spirits, his eyes were cold and clear.It can be seen that Li Haochen has a firm heart and will not be easily infected by foreign objects and waver.

In this way, Master Puhui was relieved and offered a piece of advice for Emperor Taikang.

One of these is to have Xu Ci always be by his side.

The second is to find a chance in the East China Sea.

Tanlang star belongs to wood, the sun is born in the east, which is life, and water breeds wood.The water of vitality nourishes and cleanses the dead wood of blood evil.

The greedy wolf evil star goes to the East China Sea to strengthen himself and accumulate evil spirits.

Emperor Taikang heard Master Puhui's words, and yesterday he immediately accepted Li Haochen's responsibility as the governor of Jiangnan Province temporarily, and sent him to the East China Sea area of ​​Jiangnan Province under the pretext of "visiting the east on behalf of his father".

No way, it's all for my son.Who told Master Puhui to say that the prince may find a turning point when he goes to the East China Sea.As a father, he was really worried about his son.

……

"Grandpa, my grandson wants to visit His Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to come with me, or go home?" Song Taigong was Li Haochen's grandfather, Xu Ci asked with his head bowed.

"You go, I won't go, I will come to see His Royal Highness when I have time." Song Taigong shook his head and declined Xu Ci.

In the past five years, he often saw Xu Ci writing letters to the prince alone in his room.

He also misses his only grandson very much, but when it comes to one or two, the person he misses the most is probably Xu Ci.

Their master and servant must have a lot to say.

Hearing what Song Taigong said, Xu Ci didn't want to keep him anymore, and hurried to the Prince's East Palace.

When Xu Ci came, Duke Zhou was instructing the eunuchs and maids to tidy up the East Palace.

The ground was stained with blood, and not far away was the corpse of a palace maid who was still warm and not completely stiff.

Seeing that it was Xu Ci who came, Eunuch Zhou hurriedly went up to him, shielding Xu Ci with his hands, preventing him from seeing such a bloody scene, and pulled him aside, "Master Xu is here to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Mrs. Wang Xu Changzong had already divorced, and Xu Ci followed the Wang family. Naturally, he could no longer call Xu Ci "Second Master Xu" along with the elders in his family, so he changed his name to "Master Xu".

"What's going on here? Assassin? Where's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Xu Ci pulled Eunuch Zhou's hand in front of his eyes and pointed at the corpse, "Why did such thieves get in and get into the East Palace!"

"Hey, this is the third incident since the prince came back. There is a shadow of fine armor around the prince, and the masked assassins are not allowed to enter. The person who sent these assassins must have a good understanding of this matter. The assassins sent by that person , are all dressed up in disguise, during the daytime, disguised as a eunuch in the Eastern Palace, and suddenly assassinate the prince when he is not prepared."

"In the past few days, the emperor has gradually begun to let the prince review the memorials to share the state affairs. Like this one, the prince was reviewing the memorials just now. She brought tea in and immediately stabbed him with the needle hidden in her sleeve. Fortunately, His Royal Highness has been in the battlefield for five years. Extremely sensitive, he slapped her with his palm, seeing that the assassination failed, he bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot."

Xu Ci was terrified when he heard this, and in broad daylight, he even repeatedly assassinated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.The mastermind is really lawless and deserves death!Who benefited the most from the death of the prince?Don't think about others, it must be Na Fei Yuanzheng and the fourth prince Li Haosheng.

"Where is the crown prince now?" Xu Ci grabbed Eunuch Zhou's wrist and grabbed him painfully.Eunuch Zhou bared his teeth and pointed to the backyard of the Eastern Palace, "In Lengquan..."

Xu Ci rushed out with an arrow, leaving only the dumbfounded Eunuch Zhou who said the last two words, "Take a bath..."

Eunuch Zhou covered his face, Second Master Xu, you should listen to what our family said before leaving!
