The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Zhao Zhili was going to Fujian to recruit soldiers, so he didn't dawdle in Beijing. He talked with Ji Heng for a long time that day. The man's heroic desire for meritorious deeds and confident planning made both of them forget the time, and let Ji Heng walk away from the low pressure. However, the meeting with Zhao Zhili that time was regarded as farewell, and Zhao Zhili went south with the emperor's imperial edict a few days later.

In this era, parting is a common occurrence, and Ji Heng doesn't have much to worry about.

It's just that on the morning of Zhao Zhili's departure, he looked at the sky for a while longer, and then thought that Zhao Zhili had probably already galloped out of the city, and it was time for him to go to the Imperial Academy to do something.

As the weather heats up, the Eldest Prince's health is not good recently, he has been sick intermittently, and he seems to be about to die young. Other children can crawl around at nine or ten months old, and some of them can even climb things. He stood up, but it was still a bit difficult for the First Prince to crawl around.

Because of this matter, Concubine Xu blamed Concubine Ji Xian for not being careful with the eldest prince, saying that she did not raise the eldest prince well.

Because the Ji family is very powerful, the Xu family and the Ji family can't quarrel in the open now, so no one in the Xu family in the court has said anything about the matter of raising the eldest prince, and naturally the Ji family can't shirk the idea of ​​raising the eldest prince. As for the matter of the prince, the Ji family can't say anything if the Xu family didn't say it publicly.

In fact, the Ji family knew that the emperor had the intention of using the matter of the eldest prince to provoke the Ji and Xu families, and the mind of the superior naturally wanted to achieve a balance of power, not that the people below were all colluding, so the Ji family played this role to balance The role of Ping Guogong Xu's family.

So Concubine Xu made an attack and said that Concubine Ji Xian did not raise the eldest prince well, and the Ji family had no complaints at all, but kept looking for ways to raise premature and weak children outside the palace to show their concern for this matter.

Concubine Ji Xian served and educated the eldest prince. The eldest prince has grown up a bit and has some spirituality. He often smiles at Concubine Ji Xian, and his round cheeks, pink and tender, he is already full of cuteness, even if Concubine Ji Xian first There is no maternal love for him, and now I have feelings, not only out of duty, but also out of love, and it is impossible not to raise the eldest prince well.

So she let Concubine Xu make troubles, just took care of the children all day long, and ignored Concubine Xu's troubles, letting Concubine Xu's fist hit the cotton.

The emperor is a person who is so calm that he lacks feelings. He already lacks feelings, but he is deeply in love with someone who shouldn't be loved. Therefore, he is even more lacking in feelings to outsiders. It also lacks the paternal love of ordinary fathers, but the eldest prince has always been sick recently, and he has not shirked, and still often visits the eldest prince.

Concubine Ji Xian was not idle either. While taking good care of the eldest prince, she also made insinuations, wanting the emperor to bestow orders on her biological mother.

It's not without precedent to give imperial orders to my aunt, it's just a word from the emperor, but she also knows that the emperor won't say this so easily, after all, it's in the way of etiquette.

Although Concubine Ji Xian made a lot of indirect remarks, but the emperor didn't understand it, and even went to Concubine Ji Xian's number of times after that, so Concubine Ji Xian had no choice but to calm down and wait for the next opportunity.

It was the end of June, and Ji Heng didn't know whether it was because the weather was getting hotter or because he was in poor health. He was lethargic, and his body was always weak, and sometimes he was prone to dizziness. He didn't eat Yiyang food recently, but This symptom has not diminished in the slightest.

But now that he is an official of the imperial court, he can't always ask for leave every day. Even if he is not feeling well, he still has to go to the Imperial Academy for duty.

He happened to be on duty at the Imperial Academy on this day. His recent duty was to follow a group of old Hanlin to do the initial work of compiling the history of the previous dynasty. In fact, Dayong had already compiled the history of the previous dynasty on a large scale, but recently If you want to read the history of the previous dynasty intensively, then you must summarize the history of the previous dynasty, discard the rough and extract the essence, and compile a history of the previous dynasty specially for the emperor, because the emperor did not have so much time to read the history books compiled before.

Because of the incident between Ji Heng and the emperor, he really wanted to calm down and study. In addition, he always evaded the matter of the attendant and asked for it himself, so he came to compile the history of the former dynasty.

And the old Hanlin also wanted Ji Heng to come to revise, because Ji Heng had been the emperor's accompanying reader, and he knew the emperor's taste in history reading, so he would not be charged with the emperor's taboos in the revised book.

In the past few emperors, it was not because the compilation of history happened to be out of the taboo of the emperor, so that the person who compiled the history was condemned and exiled.

The emperor came to the Lantai Pavilion, which is the library pavilion of the imperial court. Ji Heng was here recently.

Lantai Pavilion is built with stones for fire prevention, and surrounded by flowing water, fearing that the tall trees will attract fire from the sky, so no big trees are planted here, but there are many short trees, and there are many floods In the tank, there are lotus flowers that have already bloomed brightly, and the environment is elegant.

It was not the first time for the emperor to come here, but this time it gave him the most different feeling because Ji Heng was here.

The environment of Lantai Pavilion is elegant, but there are not many people inside. The officials on duty in the gatehouse are dozing off. There are two guards and two eunuchs, and there are also guards behind them, but apart from the sound of the emperor's dragon boots, the guards dare not make too much footsteps, so when the emperor approached the official on duty Only then did he realize that as soon as he saw the emperor wearing the emperor's uniform, he woke up from a doze, and quickly ran to the emperor, knelt down and shouted long live three times.

The emperor said, "Be flat. I'm just here to take a look."

Liu Pingnan, the officer on duty, hurriedly got up to thank En, and wanted to lead the emperor in to have a look. The emperor said, "It's really big inside, but it's over there."

Liu Pingnan is a small Hanlin, and it is still a Hanlin that has been unable to climb up. Fortunately, he is thinking about it, thinking why the emperor came to see the history of the previous dynasty, could it be...

Liu Pingnan felt that he had an opportunity in front of him, so he quickly answered and led the emperor to go east.

The area of ​​Lantai Pavilion is not small, it is divided into several courtyards, many buildings, and there are many books stored in different categories.

If no one guides him, the emperor doesn't know where to find Ji Heng.

Liu Pingnan was so flexible in his mind, thinking about what the emperor thought, he stopped in front of the Jishi Pavilion on the east side, naturally Liu Pingnan didn't think flattering would make this young and already talented emperor remember him, so he wanted to show it Talent and learning, how many rooms are there in the entire Jishi Pavilion, what books are in each room, what books have been compiled here in the past few decades, who is rewriting the history of the former dynasty recently, and the progress of the compilation, They all talked about it with the emperor. When talking about the progress of the compilation, they deliberately emphasized Ji Heng's recognition as the number one scholar in the new department.

If you were to write history, you wouldn't want someone who just entered the Hanlin Academy at the beginning, but Ji Heng was recognized by virtue of his talent and learning, which was admirable, and so on.

Although the latter statement is true, but because of his emphatic emphasis, it also seems to be flattering with exaggeration.

The emperor nodded, so he really remembered this ugly Hanlin, the emperor said, "I will go in and have a look."

Liu Pingnan couldn't help but continued to go in, and most of the emperor's guards stayed behind, only two eunuchs and two guards followed him.

Liu Pingnan stood there respectfully, wondering whether the emperor's feelings for him were good or bad. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly slapped himself on the head with a loud oops, and slapped the faces guarded beside him. The expressionless look shows that the capable and powerful guards have attracted attention.

So Liu Pingnan hurriedly said a few gossips to relieve the embarrassment, but he thought in his heart, I was so nervous just now that I forgot to say my name, even if the emperor remembered seeing me, he didn't know my identity. The first and last names are also in vain.

Although he sighed in his heart, his actions were not ambiguous, and he had no intention of going back to the door to continue on duty. Instead, he stood in the front corridor of Jishi Pavilion and waited for the emperor, thinking that he must introduce his name to the emperor later.

There should have been another colleague at the door, but this colleague went to the latrine, and he didn't know if he had returned, so he sent his idea to a guard who seemed to be the kindest, and wanted him to go to the gate The reason is, "I am afraid that your majesty will come out and want to visit other places, and there is no one to guide and introduce. My lord, please go to the gate to have a look, but my colleagues have returned to the gate to be on duty."

The guard said, "I can't leave my post like this, please go back and have a look."

Mr. Liu had no choice but to run to the door quickly, and secretly saw that his colleague had already sat in the guard room, so he quickly ran to Jishi Pavilion again.

Not to mention Mr. Liu's various careful thoughts, the emperor entered the Jishi Pavilion and knew where Ji Heng was, so he didn't look around in there, and went straight to the room where the history of the previous dynasty was repaired. In fact, there were only six people in the history repairing group. , and some people asked for leave, some people went to doze off, and some people went looking for books, so when the emperor came to the door of the room, he looked inside and saw that there were only two people in the room, that was Ji Heng, and another 30 young men around age.

This young man was elegant and good-looking. He was standing beside Ji Heng at this moment, lowering his head and reading a book with Ji Heng, discussing something in a low voice.

The emperor knew this young man. He was his teacher, Song Botao, the second son of Song Taifu. Song Taifu had laws and strict education for his nephews. This second son inherited Song Taifu. , and upright.

The emperor saw that the two were so close together, the room was brightly lit, Ji Heng's eyes were as clear as water, and his fair cheeks were flushed and smiling, he looked very comfortable.

The emperor thought that he refused to see him for more than two months, but was so close to others, and the jealousy in his heart fermented to the point that he was furious.

But he didn't lose his temper, he just motioned to Liu Sheng who was next to him, and Liu Sheng immediately said, "The emperor is here!"

The two people who were discussing over there were taken aback.

Looking up and seeing the emperor, Song Botao hurriedly knelt down to greet him, but suddenly thought of something, he turned around and gave Ji Heng a hand. This help almost made the emperor's eyes stand out with hatred, and Song Botao is a very upright man. However, they didn't notice the emperor's anger, they had already knelt down to greet the emperor with Ji Heng.

The emperor endured it for a few times before he allowed himself to say in a peaceful voice, "You two lovers, let's go to peace."

As he said that, he had already walked to the seat where Ji Heng was sitting just now and sat down.

In this hot summer, the chair Ji Heng sat on naturally still retains Ji Heng's body temperature, even a little hot, but the emperor took it for granted.

Ji Heng and Song Botao Xie En got up and stood not far from Ji Heng's desk, waiting for the emperor's order.

Ji Heng's eyelashes drooped, and although his expression was calm, there was a sense of weariness between his brows.

Not only because of his recent poor health, but also because he felt tired and ran away from the love affair between the emperor.

There are many books on the desk, all of which are reference materials that Ji Heng is looking at. The most important ones are naturally the few books in the history of the former dynasty compiled before, and beside them are new things written by Ji Heng, which have not yet been written. How much to write, only a few pages, because it is only a draft, so the characters are not the cursive style that he always used, but the cursive style in the running script, with an indescribably romantic, unrestrained and confident sense of dignity , making people feel that a wave of Tsinghua Langyi's air is rushing towards their faces, which is exactly the feeling Ji Heng gives people.

Usually, the style of pavilions and pavilions he writes is too standard, without any characteristics.

The emperor touched the few sheets of paper, and felt that what Ji Heng usually wrote to him was really out of character in the pavilion style, but it was a pity that the drafts he wrote were so exquisite.

The emperor thought so, and said directly to Song Botao, "Song Aiqing, I have a few words with Ji Qing, you should step down first."

Song Botao was stunned for a moment, thinking that the emperor was here to check the progress of the work. He was young, but he was actually the deputy editor-in-chief this time. If the emperor wanted to check the work, he should be the one to report, but the emperor said he would talk to Ji Heng. Speaking, he couldn't continue to stay here, so he had to bow and leave.

As soon as he went out, the guards and the two eunuchs also went out, and the eunuchs waited not far from the door to wait for the emperor's orders, while the guards occupied the passages on both sides to prevent people from approaching.

Only the emperor and Ji Heng were left in the room. Ji Heng hung his head and said nothing. The emperor opened his mouth first and said, "I have announced you so many times, but you have avoided seeing them. It has been more than two months. , are you so unwilling to see me?"

Ji Heng was silent for a while before he said in a steady tone, "Recently, I have been very busy compiling the history of the previous dynasty, and I didn't expect to be able to serve the emperor and share other worries, so I didn't want to come to the emperor. Location."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly, "Is that so? I just saw that you and Song Aiqing are very close. If you don't want to come to me, are you willing to be with other men?"

Ji Heng looked up at him in shock because of his words, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about!"

The emperor's words were indeed so sour, but Ji Heng was distracted by the insult, and immediately confronted the emperor.

The emperor slapped the table angrily, "How dare you say no?"

Ji Heng couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Do you think that everyone has no shame like you, and would do such a thing. Your Majesty, I am currently studying history, and I think I am proud of my career, and I have not committed any dereliction of duty. I am sorry." The official uniform on your body is worthy of your loyalty to the emperor, but are you worthy of the loyalty of a humble minister?"

Ji Heng's voice was very loud. He probably never spoke in such a loud voice. In fact, he could bear it. Maybe it was too hot recently, or because he was in poor health, so he was irritable and had no patience at all. The method is compared with before, that's why I said such offensive words.

Ji Heng's face was flushed because of his anger, and his eyes were black and bright, with a kind of charming and charming that the emperor rarely saw.

For some reason, the emperor felt that Ji Heng was astonishingly flattering at this time, obviously Ji Heng was angry and spoke righteously.

The emperor didn't think deeply about the source of Ji Heng's charm, and he was annoyed and a little uncomfortable by what Ji Heng said. After all, he was the one who forced Ji Heng.

The emperor got up and walked to Ji Heng's side. Ji Heng quickly backed away when he saw him approaching, and because of his anger just now, he suddenly became very dizzy. The emperor saw Ji Heng's ruddy cheeks suddenly It turned pale, and sweat began to sweat on Ji Heng's forehead. The emperor was startled. He was supposed to continue arguing with Ji Heng, but now he was only worried and concerned, "Jun Qing, what's the matter? What's wrong? "

Ji Heng was dizzy for a while, gasped for a few breaths, and suddenly his body went limp. The emperor quickly stepped forward to support him and hugged him in his arms. Ji Heng didn't have any strength in his body, and suddenly vomited. The emperor was extremely panicked. Immediately shouted to the outside world, "Come on, come on."
