Evolutionary History of Loyal Dogs

Chapter 5 Comes and Goes

When Tai Jiu got the news, his little book boy was nowhere to be found.The child he raised for three years suddenly disappeared from his world without even saying hello. Could it be that he did something wrong?

Rushing to Guanxing Pavilion, the national teacher just took a deep look at him and will come back.

The maids and eunuchs in the Spring and Autumn Palace still performed their duties, and they never mentioned the young master Qingmu who had stayed here for three years. Tai Jiu looked at the traces of two people living in the South Pavilion, and Qingmu loved it all. His white clothes and boots took up a big cabinet, but he still didn't tell Chun Ju to pack up all the things and throw them out.

Master Guoshi has always been mysterious and secretive, and his father had fallen into his hands back then, so I don't know what Qingmu is going to do now.No matter how anxious Tai Jiu was in his heart, he could only suppress it and vent all his pent-up anger on the court.

The ministers were already miserable by the emperor. When the emperor was angry, he would leave the court early and let them stand here for a few hours. Now His Royal Highness does not know what kind of blow he has suffered. It is even worse than it was before. Annoyed by the emperor's retribution, I dare not ask the emperor now, it would be good for the emperor not to intervene to help His Royal Highness the crown prince.In the period after Qing Mu left, the papers in the court hall were finally submitted to His Royal Highness the Prince for any small matter.

But there will always be a few unwilling ones who want to test His Highness the Crown Prince, and of course Tai Jiu will not let them down.

"There is something to play, nothing to leave the court." Tai Jiu looked at the ministers who were arguing below with a dark face. It was nothing more than the son of a certain doctor galloping in the street, the nephew of a certain general went to the brothel, and even the daughter of the cousin of the Shang Shu remarried. It's all up for debate!Whether these things are small or big, it all depends on how you say it. Sometimes you wonder if the recent days are too stable, so they use their strategies to dig holes for other ministers. They're all shorting each other out.

Although this saves him from investigating those complicated relationships, this way lets him know that His Royal Highness is really mad at him.

Xu Shi felt Tai Jiu's anger, and the court fell silent. All the ministers looked at each other and did not dare to argue again.

"I see how much leisure you have had lately. Why don't I be the master and reward each of you with ten acres of land? Go home and farm!"

"His Royal Highness! It's not that I'm talking too much, it's just that riding a horse in the street, especially at the feet of the emperor! It's a contempt for the imperial power!" An official in a blue official robe stood up and said with his head bowed.

"His Royal Highness! The old minister has been an official for more than ten years, and he has peaches and plums all over the world. But he is the only one who neglects to discipline his old man, but riding a horse on the street is just a child's naughty, whim, and absolutely ignores the imperial power What do you mean!" From the opposite side came out an official in the same green robe, but a little older.

"Doctor Zhang! What you said is wrong. You said you neglected to discipline your son, why did you mention your students! Are you going to test the pressure on His Royal Highness?" Another official came out from behind He stared at the old man who called Doctor Zhang.

"You guys are simply deceiving people too much! The old minister is innocent, and His Royal Highness will naturally learn from it!"

……

All of a sudden there was another quarrel in the hall, Tai Jiu propped his right hand on the dragon chair and looked at the left and right standing in front of him, all of them looked downcast and respectful.General Qi Mo and Luo Feng, who was in charge of Jinyiwei, just glanced at the ministers who were arguing, and then stood in the corner again.

"Retreat"

He flicked his sleeves, and didn't care about the blushing people who were arguing.Tai Jiu then went back to the Spring and Autumn Hall by himself, and the booklets handed over to the upper study room would be dealt with by Laifu and Laixi, and he only needed to check it in the evening.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Spring and Autumn Palace, he found that the maids and eunuchs who were usually waiting at the entrance of the front hall disappeared. Tai Jiu's face became even darker. Under such circumstances, he knew what happened without thinking.

"Hey, Tai Jiu, don't just leave when you see me!" The people sitting in the hall saw Tai Jiu turn around and yearn for another place, and quickly stopped him.

Hearing this, Tai Jiu paused, and immediately strode away. He would rather stay in the small study and practice calligraphy than see these people. His Highness is really annoying, and he doesn't know when Qing Mu will come back.

"Tai Jiu, you bastard! Why don't you stop when I call you? You have become more and more unscrupulous these past few years! Believe it or not, I abolished your crown prince!" Not long after the small study, there was a tall man The man came in angrily and yelled at Tai Jiu.

"You'd better abolish Ben Gong's crown prince quickly, the general is still waiting to elope with Ben Gong!" Tai Jiu ignored the anger of the people who came in, just continued to pick up the book on the table and open it.

"Hmph, that's your father, eloping? You think too much, I won't let him go." Leaning casually on the soft couch in the study, he picked up the teapot on the small table and wanted to pour a cup of tea, but suddenly put down. "When people leave, they don't even drink tea."

"Isn't this saved for you? If you lose that box of Wufeng, you won't even have a place to live. How pitiful."

"It's really grown up, even I dare to make a joke of it." For some reason, His Majesty the Emperor, who was leaning on the soft couch, smiled happily.

"You've been quarreled a lot lately." Tai Jiu frowned and asked, not caring what his father, who was not upright, said.

"I'm here to comfort you this time. What does it mean to be quarreled? Your father has recently gotten older and has a bad temper." His Majesty the Emperor said helplessly.

"Does Daddy know what you said about him?" Tai Jiu couldn't help but asked back, of course he knew how unreliable his father was, and he had cheated him all these years.

"How dare you let him know?" Waving his hand, His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently. "Why did you notice the second half of the sentence? Those who came to comfort you don't even know how to thank me."

"Well, thank you." Judging by the reaction, there should be nothing wrong, so Tai Jiu didn't want to talk to his father anymore, and was about to sink his mind into the book.

"Your father and I are different from you and Qing Mu, you should think about these things clearly."

"Because your father fell in love with you first, did you reluctantly like the general?"

"It has nothing to do with this. Your father is just a general, and it's because of me." Hearing what Tai Jiu said, His Majesty the Emperor was proud, but he still did not forget his purpose. You should know what is the most important thing about a teacher. Besides, you are still young, and Qing Mu is even younger."

"We can't deny my liking for him just because of our age." Tai Jiu's expression was rarely serious, and he looked seriously at his father, the man he admired and admired.

"Of course liking has nothing to do with age." His Majesty the Emperor replied reflexively. He was only fourteen or five years old when he fell in love with the general. It was used, and the general suffered a lot because of it.At that time, there were also many people who objected, even using age as an issue. Now those voices of objection have gradually disappeared, but...

After pondering for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor said dryly, "He is just a child."

Seeing that Tai Jiu ignored him, she sighed again, walked over and patted Tai Jiu on the shoulder, "We're about to leave." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for Tai Jiu's answer.

On the second day after Qing Mu left, Chunhua found out that His Highness the Crown Prince had left court and went to the small study. It was not until night fell that she returned to the South Pavilion to rest after dinner. Thinking that Young Master Qing Mu had left, His Highness the Crown Prince was still the same serious.It's just that no one knew that His Highness the Crown Prince who was sitting in the small study hadn't turned a single page since His Majesty the Emperor left.

On the third day after Qing Mu left, His Royal Highness the Prince went to the Royal Garden for a rare stroll, found Qing Mu's favorite tree, sat on the ground, hesitated for a while, and then relaxed his body, let his back Lean against the trunk.From this angle, he could just see the warm sun, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly.

After a while, she heard some slight noises beside her, and Tai Jiu turned her head to look, and saw the ferret named Xiaobai by Qing Mu standing not far from her, saw herself, and took a few steps back , and took a few steps forward, moved his front paws a few times, but still did not continue to lean over.Tai Jiu felt a little funny, so he waved at it, and Xiao Bai took a few steps forward, leaning against Tai Jiu's legs and forming a ball.

The sun shines through the leaves and casts mottled spots of light. Tai Jiu's gaze falls in the distance, and from time to time he reaches out to touch Xiaobai who is leaning against his legs. Everything seems to be the same as that afternoon in the past, except for a different person.

One year later, the crown prince Tai Jiu came to the throne, and the former emperor and the mysterious queen disappeared. Not long after, the master of the state teacher passed away, the whole country mourned, and there was some turmoil at the border.

His Majesty the newly appointed emperor unceremoniously dismissed officials. Most of those who had been officials in the court for more than five years and had made no achievements were mostly persuaded to go home and farm. The officials whose papers were almost nonsense were all downgraded and sent to desolate areas.Since then, the court has become much quieter.

It's just that after the master of the state is gone, there are often frictions at the border, and several major countries in the west have provoked several small-scale wars.For this reason, I can't help but think of Mr. Qingmu who stayed in the palace before. After mentioning it a few times, Tai Jiu scolded them all with a black face, and finally stopped after saying that he would not come back.

After several intermittent provocations at the border, it gradually subsided, but the atmosphere became more and more tense, as if something was brewing.

Tai Jiu just ordered General Qi to recruit troops and buy horses, and everything else remained as usual, regardless of other people's various speculations.

It was still early to deal with the matter, so Tai Jiu changed his clothes and left the palace.After tasting the new cakes that Tianxia has released recently, I ordered a few more to take home, thinking about the way Qingmu's eyes brightened when he saw them in the past.

If Qing Mu came back, he would hope to eat it, if he could just go back... Thinking of this, Tai Jiu smiled wryly again, shook his head and denied his own thoughts.It's been three years, Qing Mu didn't return when he ascended the throne, he didn't return when he was 16 years old, and he never sent a letter, and the Master of the State Teacher was not there, so he didn't know if Qing Mu would come back.
