After becoming the king of the subjugated country
Chapter 20 Chaos as a substitute
Rao Ji Chen was also stalked, "This is too much trouble for His Royal Highness, or—"
Keep it for yourself.
Whether it's good intentions or malicious calculations, Ji Chen really doesn't want to participate.
Ji Han patted his chest and interrupted him, "Second brother, don't worry, I have asked about those medicines, the imperial doctor said they are tonics, I will share some of the medicines with you, and then I will pass on the formula to you, and I will give you two more." Man, you can choose the eunuchs in the palace..."
Speaking of this, Ji Han was also a little stuck.
Eunuchs are all men who have lost their roots. Is there enough yang energy in their bodies?If the yang energy is too bad, it won't work, why don't you give him a few guards?
But the guards all have the official positions of the eighth|ninth rank, unlike eunuchs, who will be killed and dealt with without any attention.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Ji Chen said quickly, "To tell the truth, I already have a sweetheart, and I am currently pursuing one or two. If I succeed in the future, I will come to the prince to ask for the method of cultivating immortals, and I will practice double cultivation with him."
"Oh? Who is it?" Ji Han looked suspicious, "You can rest assured to tell me, I will definitely not leak it."
Ji Chen blurted out, "It's Shang Nan, he won the leader in Dengwenlou, and made me fall in love at first sight."
If he was really asked to choose a gossip partner, his first reaction was indeed Bai Qi.
In Duan Wang's mansion, Bai Qi propped his chin, his eyes were bright, and the smile on his lips was extremely sincere.
He listened to Ji Chen explain the whole story, and stared at him obsessively, refusing to look away.
Then I made a note to the prince in my heart.
Ji Chen felt extremely guilty and explained many reasons, "I didn't want to involve you in the first place, but Qin Sheng already has a wife and Miss Ning is a woman, so her reputation cannot be easily damaged, and Bai Qi's identity cannot be exposed. I haven't met anyone before, so I just mentioned Shang Nan's name, not to mention that Shang Nan is a genius, and he met me once, so I mentioned you."
Apart from Shang Nan, he can't say that he likes Ning Shangshu Ning Yuan who is over 40 years old, right?His son is twenty.
Bai Qi blinked, and asked curiously: "The prince is quick-witted, and he can think about so many things in a flash when answering the prince."
Ji Chen was suffocated immediately.
Only he knows his guilt.
At that moment, he didn't think about anything, but just blurted out the name in his heart.
Ji Chen didn't want to get too entangled in this, so he quickly changed the subject, "You're not going to attend the literary conference, so why not go there quickly."
"What was the prince's reaction at that time?" Bai Qi asked.
Ji Chen said: "He said that I should not stick to the world's vision and act boldly. But it's the filial piety now, and Ji Han doesn't dare to push me too much, don't worry."
Ji Han's provocation was too obvious.
Bai Qi said: "Then I can do it myself?"
"As you please." Ji Chen waved his hand.
When the people left, Ji Chen had no choice but to appease the bouncing pigeon.
"Coo coo coo." The pigeon's voice was particularly urgent, as if arguing with him.
Ji Chen said: "Don't worry, I like you the most."
The pigeon flapped its wings and rested on a high place, tilted its head to look at Ji Chen, but refused to come down.
"Really, I'm telling the truth." Ji Chen brought some snacks, "May I feed you?"
"Coo coo coo." The pigeon's cry slowed down, spread its wings, and flew down.
"My lord, the crown prince sent Mr. Song here and arrested him," Eunuch Xin shouted outside, "Come here quickly, something has happened!"
Ji Chen's face turned cold, he put the snacks on the table, turned and went out.
"Cuckoo??" The figure of the pigeon flying halfway stopped, watching people leave.
You agreed to like it the most, you want to feed it, and you ran away so quickly?
Eunuch Xin was very anxious, and said to Ji Chen: "Mr. Song is the second wife of the Song family. He is usually close to the prince, and this old servant is lucky to have seen him twice. Now he actually sent someone to arrest Mr. Shangnan." , did not do anything to him, but brought him to Duanwang Mansion..."
Eunuch Xin hesitated to speak, he was one of the very few people who knew that Shang Nan was Bai Qi.
It was also because of this that he could not show excessive intimacy and concern, for fear of delaying the master's plan.
Ji Chen also knew the seriousness of the matter, and waited for him to walk quickly to the hall.
Song Xiaozheng crossed Erlang's legs, and ordered the table, "Give me some tea quickly, the Taiping Houkui is really good, and bring over two plates of lychees, to be chilled."
The palace maid bowed her head anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Song, Eunuch Xin is in charge of these things, especially the lychees. I can't make decisions on my own."
The second-class tea leaves are enough for entertaining guests, but the best tea leaves like Taiping Houkui only cost three taels in total, all of which were collected by Eunuch Xin, and only the eunuchs in the study were allowed to use them, and only for King Duan Make tea.
Song Xiao's complexion changed, she stood up, and kicked her neatly, "How do you do things? Do you know who I am?"
The court lady knelt on the ground, not daring to say much, but kowtowed desperately, "I hope you will make amends."
Ji Chen said: "She is just a little palace maid, she is really ignorant."
Eunuch Xin smiled apologetically, "Young Master Song, it's the old slave who didn't teach well, so let's take her down and teach her a lesson."
Seeing that the Lord is coming, Song Xiao was not in a hurry to care about a court lady, but said enthusiastically to Ji Chen: "Prince Duan, look, I brought you Shang Nan!"
Bai Qi was wearing a mask to cover his specific face, but he was sitting there alone exuding an aura that strangers should not enter.
A dozen or so guards stood around him, staring at him one after another, and there was a tendency for Bai Qi to take him down with just one step.
Ji Chen really is the first and the second big, "Mr. Song, is this?"
"Didn't you want to get him? I brought him here for you!" Song Xiao slapped the table and said excitedly, "Cousin Prince misses you very much, and is worried about your cultivation, cough, Taoism. Since you said Shang Nan Alright, then I'll help you catch him, otherwise I'm afraid he might run away."
Ji Chen: "..."
Bai Qi curled the corners of his mouth, drinking tea to cover it up.
Knowing that these people wanted to arrest him and bring him to Duanwang's mansion, he half-pushed and came here, pretending to be a frail scholar, so he had no choice but to arrest him without a fight.
Just in time, he also wanted to see what this group of people were going to do.
Song Xiao turned to look at Bai Qi again, "Shang Nan, I advise you to recognize what is good or bad. This is King Duan, the prince's younger brother. Now the prince is already the heir emperor, and he just waits for his majesty to be buried. Now he is crying On the thirteenth day of Lingling, the prince will officially ascend the throne in fourteen days. If you follow King Duan, you will naturally enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, and there are many benefits."
In fact, Bai Qi was about to laugh, so he could only keep quiet.
Eunuch Xin made several gestures in secret, signaling to Ji Chen that someone would come and knock on the door outside.
Ji Chen nodded slightly, motioning for him to go over and deal with it himself.
Song Xiao became impatient, "Shang Nan, are you deaf? Did you hear that? If King Duan didn't value you, would you still want to step into the palace with someone like you? Seeing that you've been wearing a mask, I'm still worried. You are too ugly to be seen by others, and your face is really unsightly."
Bai Qi sneered, "Then Mr. Song is so bold? Is there no law in the capital?"
"What is the law of the king? The crown prince is my cousin, and the crown prince is about to ascend the throne," Song Xiao said proudly, "An ignorant person like you is not worthy to carry the shoes of my Song family."
As soon as the words came out, the maids and eunuchs who were serving all around bowed their heads, even the guards following Song Xiao heard it, and even a few people applauded.
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes, these people will be witnesses in the future.
"Forget it," Song Xiao didn't bother to bother, and looked at Ji Chen, "I'll send the person directly into your room, Prince Duan, you have to seize the opportunity."
Ji Chen: "..."
That's it?
Before he could refuse, Song Xiao had already sent a guard to lock Bai Qi's hand with a cloth belt, "Prince Duan, let's go, where is your house? I'll send him there right now."
Bai Qi asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Hey," Song Xiao refused to explain, "You'll know when you go."
Ji Chen ordered a court lady to lead Song Xiao the way.
The flowers and plants near the main house are not lush, and a deck chair is arranged outside, and the table next to it is full of plates filled with various fruits and snacks, and a pigeon is pecking and stealing snacks.
Song Xiao took a casual look, forced Bai Qi to walk to the door, and pushed her into the room.
Song Xiao also specially asked someone to light a pair of red candles, and asked the people around to walk away, and grinned at Ji Chen, "Duan Wang, am I caring? For a man like this, you should be bolder. It is most appropriate to go directly to the bridal chamber. Here, someone sent it in for you, and a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, so go quickly."
"...Okay, thank you." Ji Chen said with a smile, "This statement makes sense, I've been taught."
He has the heart to kill.
When the liquidation is in the future, Song Xiao will definitely leave only a whole body.
Song Xiao was immediately satisfied, and he didn't forget to stuff Ji Chen with a bunch of books, "These are probably the books that the Taoist priest treasured, open them quickly, they just come in handy."
Ji Chen took it, and immediately understood, and said: "Your people also stand a little farther away, he is only a weak scholar, he will definitely do nothing to me, but I don't like these things being eavesdropped."
Song Xiao nodded vowedly, "Don't worry, I'll go back right away and won't interfere with you."
Ji Chen entered the room with a pile of books in his arms, closed the door, and immediately threw all the books on the table, leaving behind his pretended gentleness.
In the room, Bai Qi had already untied the cloth belt on his hand, leaning against the bed, waiting for him to come.
At this time, it was approaching dusk, all the windows in the house were closed, a pair of red candles on the table were burning quietly, a drop of wax dripped slowly, and occasionally one or two sparks burst out from the wick.
Ji Chen approached step by step.
Bai Qi sat on the edge of the bed, and when Ji Chen came to her side, she raised her head unconsciously.
Ji Chen took off his mask, rubbed his fingers unconsciously on his chin, and couldn't help jokingly said, "Young Master Shang, won't you run away?"
Back then, Bai Qi dared to hide in the palace alone to escape the pursuers sent by the queen.
"There is nowhere to hide in the sky and the earth." With a smile on the corner of Bai Qi's mouth, he took the initiative to get closer, matching Ji Chen's movements, "I can only be apprehensive about being arrested and let King Duan deal with it."
This is an extremely dangerous position.
Ji Chen felt that as long as he stretched out his hand, he could easily hug Bai Qi, and then let his own mind deal with the person in front of him.
With Bai Qi leaning against the bedpost behind him, there was nowhere to escape.
However, the trapped person didn't realize his situation at all, and still had the heart to provoke him.
Bai Qi said: "Prince Duan regrets it? But I was arrested directly from the Wenhui in public, and my reputation was lost. If King Duan doesn't take me in, I'm afraid I have nowhere to go."
Ji Chen carefully looked at his eyebrows and eyes, traced them with his fingertips, and rarely spoke the truth, "If you keep following me, you will really lose your reputation and have nowhere to go in the future."
"Anyway, this little reputation is gone long ago. I'm not afraid of having nowhere to go. At least with a companion, the future will not be difficult." Bai Qi raised her head and looked directly at Ji Chen.
There are thousands of stars in his eyes.
Ji Chen's hand paused slightly, feeling a deer bouncing around in his heart, trying to attract his attention and occupy his body and mind.
But all he wanted was to catch the fawn.
A wicked taste suddenly rose in his heart, Ji Chen pointed to a pile of scriptures on the table, and deliberately made things difficult for him, "You read it once, and I will admit that you are from Duanwangfu."
"I'm not someone who wants to be in Prince Duan's Mansion," Bai Qi pointed out, "There are several people living in Prince Duan's Mansion, so I naturally want to choose the best one."
Ji Chen nodded casually, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Okay."
Having received the promise, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he walked to the desk in threes and twos, opened a book at random, and his smile froze immediately.
He glanced at Ji Chen, then quickly turned his head and closed the pages of the book forcefully.
"Start," Ji Chen calmly urged from the side.
Although he didn't read the content, he knew that these scriptures were not serious when he heard that the Taoist priest handed them over to the prince for double cultivation.
Bai Qi forced himself to be calm, "This is a picture album, there is no way to read it."
"For the picture album, you can copy it once and give it to me," Ji Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Shangnan is the leader of Dengwenlou this year. It is said that calligraphy and painting are both excellent and talented. You can't even do this. Bar?"
Bai Qi was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Who brought this?" Bai Qi couldn't help venting his anger.
"Song Xiao stuffed me, and the prince should have brought it here." Ji Chen explained.
well.
Bai Qi made another silent note to the prince in his heart.
Bai Qi couldn't help asking, "Have you seen it?"
"I haven't had time to read it yet, not to mention that I don't like to read scriptures all the time, so don't wait for you to teach me?" Ji Chen said: "Since this book is not good, you can read the next book. Here, you have plenty of time to study."
Bai Qi didn't know whether to be thankful that Ji Chen hadn't seen it yet, or to be annoyed that he didn't take a look.
He forced himself to calm down, flipped through the next book, and then closed it again.
After flipping through five books back and forth, Bai Qi finally found one with writing, "This book has words."
But after he scanned the contents carefully, Bai Qi closed the writing booklet again.
"Young Master Shangnan, you might as well give up as soon as possible. The so-called retreat in the face of difficulties is a right thing." Ji Chen admired the scene where Bai Qi endured his shyness, and his mood instantly eased.
"No!" Bai Qi blurted out, "It's a big deal, I'll learn."
Seeing that his ears were red, Ji Chen finally decided to let him go, and said sternly, "I won't tease you anymore, you are tired too, take a rest first, I don't know what's going on outside."
Bai Qi put the picture album and other things aside, and sat next to Ji Chen, "It was indeed at the Wenhui when I was arrested, and there were dozens of students at that time, it depends on how brave they are. "
The red candle was still burning, and the lights were shining brightly. Bai Qi boldly took Ji Chen's hand, "Song Xiao said that he wanted to arrest me to meet King Duan. Do you know how worried I was about you at that moment?"
He doesn't care about being arrested, but he is afraid that Ji Chen will be plotted against.
Facts have proved that these students are not small in courage and temperament.
Many students were stunned by the arrest at the literary meeting. One of them boldly walked over, stuffed a sum of money, and asked, "Gentlemen, what crime did Shang Nan commit?"
"I don't know," one of the guards answered patiently after collecting the money, "He probably offended Mr. Song, so the crown prince sent us here to listen to Mr. Song's command and arrest Shang Nan, but we couldn't really hurt him."
Mr. Song?
Everyone looked at each other.
"May I ask if this Mr. Song is a figure in the Yamen?" the student asked.
The guard looked at him in surprise, as if he was surprised that he didn't even know this, "You don't know Mr. Song? Of course he is from the prince's mother clan, and is now the son of Mr. Song's mansion. Although he has no official position, he But the prince's cousin is much more powerful than those people in the yamen."
In fact, they couldn't believe it when they knew that there was only Song in a famous family in Kyoto.
"He's just a dude. Since he has no official position and Shang Nan has never committed a crime, why do you arrest him?" The people beside him couldn't help but interject.
"How do I know these things?" The guard stuffed the silver into his arms, "We are just following orders."
"Where is Shang Nan going to be taken?" People nearby asked one after another.
"I don't know either." The guard replied, then turned and left, catching up with his companion.
The lively atmosphere at the meeting disappeared.
The host of today's banquet was surnamed Zhao, who was a junior official in the Imperial Academy. He threw his cup angrily, and cupped his hands in all directions, "Everyone, if we made a mistake, we should be interrogated by the yamen and verified by the Dali Temple. There is a reason to take people away at will. Mr. Shangnan is still the leader of Dengwenlou, so he still has to be insulted by this."
"The Song family has Cheng Engong and the queen, and has the prince as a backer, so can he be lawless? An ordinary member of the Song family who has no official, no job, no virtue and no talent can command the guards in the palace, Even called them out to get people."
"If I wait to give in today, what about next time? I'm afraid I'll die quietly. I hope you will notify your relatives and friends, and join me in seeking justice for Shang Nan. If Shang Nan is guilty, that's fine, but Shang Nan Since he is innocent, I shouldn't just watch him being humiliated."
People around applauded.
Under Zhao Hanlin's command, some people ran to inform the prime minister, some went to Dengwenlou to call for help, and the last part called the servants at home, and sent people to follow Song Xiao.
Along the way, more and more people participated in it, and the team size continued to expand.
Song Xiao was completely unaware that something was wrong, swaggered through the downtown area, and then entered Duanwang Mansion.
The students who fell behind him immediately talked about it.
"I didn't expect Duan Wang to be involved."
"I don't think so. That Mr. Song is from the Song family, and he has never had any contact with King Duan on weekdays."
"That day's banquet, King Duan's hospitality can be regarded as hospitality, now why don't I ask a question or two first."
When Qin Sheng got the news and hurried over, he saw a group of people hesitating in front of Prince Duan's mansion.
Qin Sheng squeezed to the front and said: "Everyone, I, Qin Sheng, have the audacity to be the first in the world, so why don't I knock on the door."
Zhao Hanlin bowed his hands and backed away, "Master Qin is polite, the Qin family has a good family tradition, and Mr. Qin is also outstandingly talented. He is a first-class candidate."
After entering the door, Eunuch Xin saw the menacing approach and quickly saw something was wrong.
In a few words, he put the blame on Song Xiao, and wiped away tears, "Mr. Song has never been with my prince. When he came here, he first asked Taiping Houkui to make tea, and he also asked for iced lychees to make a fruit plate. kicked and injured a maidservant of my lord."
Fortunately, he was busy appeasing the maid and didn't let her go down.
The maid took a step forward and bowed timidly to the crowd. There was still a clear footprint on her shoulder, and her face was extremely pale.
Eunuch Xin said: "My lord and Mr. Song pretended to be false, just thinking that he and Mr. Shangnan had met once, and wanted to keep him, but now I don't know what to do."
The crowd suddenly became angry.
The group of people immediately continued to walk in, and happened to bump into Song Xiao who was about to leave with a group of guards.
"It's him," a student pointed out loudly, pointing to the chubby young man in the middle with a gold and jade collar, "it's him who got Shang Nan arrested."
Song Xiao was alerted immediately, "Who are you? Let me tell you, my cousin is the crown prince, and he will be enthroned soon..."
It's okay if you don't say anything, but once you say it, the scene suddenly becomes uncontrollable.
The young man who rushed to the front punched him in the face and spit on his face, "Bah!"
Song Xiao covered her face, panicked, "Come on, come on—"
Eunuch Xin shouted from the side, "Stop beating, stop beating."
Heart is happy.
The guards didn't dare to attack easily, so they could only stretch out their hands to stop him.They could see that there were some students who had no official titles, but some were from the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Academy, or even the Sixth Ministry.
If offended, they can't afford to pay.
Qin Sheng is one head and two big, but he has long been displeased with the Song family, so he simply backtracked and stopped Song Xiao from punching him, "These are precious literati, don't do it lightly." .”
Zhao Hanlin rushed to the forefront and took advantage of this opportunity to kick Song Xiao several times.
Song Xiao said bitterly, "I'm going to tell my cousin to cut you off."
When Ji Chen and Bai Qi came out to clean up the mess, it was already a quarter of an hour later.
The two were alone, Bai Qi went to the student group, and Ji Chen came to see Song Xiao again.
"Master Song, what's the matter?" Ji Chen almost laughed out loud.
Song Xiao had a pair of panda eyes, several bruises on her face, and the buttons of her clothes were ripped off.
"I want to go back, I want to go to the palace to see my cousin." Song Xiao said a word, then hissed and covered his right cheek, his teeth were all crooked, and his words were vaguely leaky, "These troublemakers, I want to They all got caught."
Seeing that the enemy is looking for death, what can Ji Chen do?
If he hadn't known that Song Xiao's surname was Song, he would have wondered which camp Song Xiao belonged to.
He could only kindly prepare the carriage, deliver medicine to the guards, and then send Song Xiao into the palace, let him go to find the prince, and cry out his grievances.
After seeing off the people, Ji Chen came to see the people on Bai Qi's side again.
"Your Majesty Duan has worked hard," Zhao Hanlin said towards Ji Chen with a particularly good attitude and even more sympathy.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for King Duan, Shang Nan might be in real danger this time."
"Then Song Xiao sent Mr. Shang to Duan Wang's place, just to force Duan Wang to do something. I didn't expect that the crown prince could not stand your brother so quickly, and wanted to pour dirty water on you."
"Prince Duan has indeed suffered a lot of grievances."
Everyone glanced at me and said a word, they were very grateful to Ji Chen, and helped Ji Chen to fill in the cause and effect.
Bai Qi looked at him with a smile.
Obviously, this is Bai Qi's contribution.
Ji Chen curled his lips, "It's all of you who are so powerful that you can force Song Xiao back."
Qin Sheng, who was the only one who knew Shang Nan's true identity, had subtle eyes. If he hadn't known how bad King Duan's character was, he would probably have believed in Ji Chen's evil.
Seeing that Shang Nan was successfully rescued and praised by King Duan, everyone felt relieved.
Ji Chen didn't forget to invite them to have dinner and drink together.
Everyone declined one after another, turned their heads and went to Dengwenlou, and began to discuss business matters.
Bai Qi naturally walked with them all the way, listening to their plans, adding a few words from time to time, occasionally provoking a few words, making sure that today's fire burns fast enough and fiercely.
The next day, the court was in chaos.
The Dengwen drum was sounded, and the students from Kyoto sued the Song family, Song Xiao.
Ji Han, who had not yet ascended the throne, got off the bed and sent off the five court ladies, only to see the impeachment memorials piled up in the imperial study.
One pile, one piece, all impeach the Song family, especially Song Xiao.From the Song family accepting bribes, burning the Guanlu Temple, and then forcing the people to death by staking the land, all the contents are enough to arouse the anger of the crowd.
The first one is Song Xiao arresting others in the street!
What's more, some people pointed directly at the crown prince and asked in the memorial who gave Song Xiao the power to command the guards in the palace and arrest a talented man outside the palace.
Qin Sheng naturally rushed to the first place, otherwise he would be sorry for the title of the Qin family's number one scholarly family in Kyoto, not to mention that he himself is the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and now he is using his power properly, and the content is naturally particularly sharp.
When Ji Han saw Qin Sheng's memorial, he was very annoyed, so he called Prime Minister Qin, and was furious in front of him, saying that Qin Sheng had ulterior motives and his words were extremely vicious.
After Qin Xiangcai appeases the students who came to beat Dengwengu, he went to see Song Xiao again, and asked him why he sent him to Duan Wang's mansion, but Song Xiao hesitated and refused to speak. Said that the prince agreed.
Qin Xiang's heart suddenly turned cold.
In this situation, how can he end it!
Facing Ji Han's accusation, Qin Xiang said: "The dog is incompetent, please transfer him to prevent him from speaking out."
Satisfied, Ji Han simply said: "In this case, let him go to serve as an attendant to King Duan and accompany him to study. Song Xiao has been wronged, so I will make him a fifth-rank school captain, which can be regarded as a comfort. .”
It just so happens that he doesn't like Qin Sheng and Ji Chen, so he can throw one away.
What can Prime Minister Qin do?I can only kowtow and say yes.
When he got home, Prime Minister Qin threw the table over, his chest heaving and heaving, "It's too much bullying! It's really too much bullying! With this time, I don't want to deal with the Song family, but I want to help them."
It was rare for Qin Sheng not to provoke his own father, "I just said that the prince is not a good person. You see, the old emperor told you before he died that he wanted you to treat the prince as if he were his own son. Now you have done it, and I have not." See the prince treats you like your own father."
"Shut up!" Prime Minister Qin sternly said, "You can say that last sentence?"
"I can't say why," Qin Sheng said bluntly, "Father, you are busy day and night, and the prince is already incompetent. Now the filial piety period does not forget the lucky maid. If you hadn't wiped the traces for him and took care of him, this matter would have been long ago." It exploded."
Prime Minister Qin sighed, "I would like to relax for a few days, but the crown prince did not have an enthronement edict, and the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, so nothing else will happen."
Qin Sheng leaned back on his chair, and said with a sneer, "Since the crown prince wanted to elevate the Song family and set up a double face, I recognized that this crown prince is not a Mingjun at all. Why do you care about him so much?"
Who is his father?The prime minister of a country, who has been an official for 30 years, has worked hard and never corrupted, and everyone in the court praises him.
What about Cheng Engong Song Zhi of the Song family?In the past, he was only a petty official of the eighth rank, but it was only because he gave birth to a daughter, and the daughter entered the palace again, that he became Cheng Engong.
It is unreasonable for such a person to be named the right minister, and to be listed as the prime minister alongside his father!
How long has the old emperor been dead?It's only fourteen days!Even before the person was buried, the prince was going to drive down the minister Tuogu who was personally identified by the old emperor. The appearance was too ugly.
Prime Minister Qin didn't care if his authority was divided, but he couldn't stand the crown prince talking about his son like that!
He is already old, so he just pursues a wife and shade?Otherwise, who is he working hard for every day?
If Qin Sheng really did something wrong, he would admit it, but the crown prince was clearly just making use of it, and simply didn't like him.
Prime Minister Qin sneered, "He didn't forget to comfort Song Xiao yesterday, he made him a fifth-rank captain, and he also issued an imperial decree to seal the jade seal."
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Qin became even more disgusted.
But it's disgusting, he has to help the prince deal with this matter.
After finally regaining his composure, Prime Minister Qin began to teach his son again, "What did I tell you? You don't understand if I tell you to talk less? You have to write a letter to show off your abilities. The crown prince is not a wise king, so you What kind of king do you want? How can you be picky about this."
"Isn't it the duty of a courtier to persuade the king?" Qin Sheng pouted his neck and said, "I just want someone who is knowledgeable, noble, eager to seek talents, considerate of the people, and able to accept criticism from the courtiers." King? Is it hard?"
Prime Minister Qin smiled angrily, and pointed out the door, "You go out now, but find me one. Even Yao and Shun, I'm afraid they can't meet your standards."
Who wouldn't want to have it?He accompanied the emperors of the three dynasties back and forth, from the first emperor to the old emperor to the present prince, he felt that one generation was not as good as the other.
"Look for it." Qin Sheng walked out the door with his head held high, turned around and hailed a carriage to go to Duanwang Mansion.
Apart from the prince, it's not really that there are no other members of the royal family to rely on.
"Prince Duan," Qin Sheng's eyes were particularly warm, and he felt that his dream was pinned on Ji Chen.
After all, Ji Chen is far better at discerning traitors than Ji Han.
Ji Chen was coaxing the pigeons with a fruit plate.
"Come down and let me feed you, okay?" Ji Chen coaxed, "I'll be with you all day today."
"Coo coo coo." The pigeon yelled angrily several times.
It will not easily believe Ji Chen's words anymore.
"Last time it was really an accident. There was an urgent matter. You see, I came to you when I was free." Ji Chen said.
The pigeon flew up a little more, rested on the highest shelf, and turned away from looking at Ji Chen.
Ji Chen had no choice but to take a few steps forward, trying to catch the pigeon.
"Prince Duan," Qin Sheng walked over enthusiastically, "I will be your attendant from now on."
From Yushi Zhongchengping to the prince's attendant, it seems that they are all officials of the sixth rank, but in fact the difference is not small.
After all, Yushitai has his own direction of promotion, but as the prince's servant, he can only rely on the prince's ability.
Ji Chen was taken aback for a moment, and the pigeon that was about to get his hand flew past his hand, "Master?"
Qin Sheng was just full of ambition, "A student is to accompany you to study and give you lectures. Don't worry, my lord, my Qin family is also well-educated. Before Shang Nan came out, I was second to none. I will definitely not humiliate my lord." identity of."
Ji Chen withdrew his hand, looked at Qin Sheng, and said in surprise, "Are you serious?"
Qin Sheng patted his chest and assured him: "Don't worry, if you say a word from a gentleman, you'll be quick to whip him. Since I'm serving as a lecturer, I'm sure I can teach you enough knowledge."
He didn't believe it anymore, why couldn't King Duan be well-informed and knowledgeable?
At that time, King Duan must be a hundred times stronger than the prince.
Ji Chen looked at him with sympathy, "Then do you know that I have been living in the cold palace before?"
Qin Sheng nodded slowly, noticing that there was something wrong with Ji Chen's eyes, his heart beat a little faster unconsciously.
He had a feeling that he might have some not-so-happy news.
Ji Chen continued: "I have never been valued by the emperor, and I have been in the cold palace all year round, and I have no one to teach me."
Seeing that Qin Sheng's whole body was stiff, Ji Chen made another cut, "No one taught me, it means that there is only one maid beside me, and I don't have any teachers. The court lady still wants to get ahead, and basically runs around outside. That is to say, in the cold palace I often stay alone, and when I was young, I didn't dare to run around, and I almost never got out of the cold palace."
Qin Sheng swallowed, and asked with difficulty, "Is the prince literate?"
Ji Chen showed a gentle smile, but there was a little sarcasm in the smile, "What do you think?"
Ji Chen can understand the words here, and communicate with the people around him, all because of the memory in Yuanshen's mind.But the original body was illiterate, so naturally he was also illiterate.
After time travelling, Ji Chen didn't focus on reading and literacy at all.
Anyway, he is the king of subjugation, so he should not embarrass himself.
Qin Sheng: "..."
The career that has not started is about to die, and he seems to be able to see the end.
Qin Sheng reluctantly arranged, "Why don't we start with literacy?"
Ji Chen had no choice but to nod, "How's it going outside?"
"It's in chaos," Qin Sheng sighed, "They are busy impeaching the Song family, the Song family is busy destroying evidence, and the crown prince is busy visiting court ladies... for a while, there is no way to calm down."
Ji Chen grabbed the pigeon that was standing still, and shook it vigorously, "You still want to run?"
The pigeon struggled hard, "Coo coo coo."
It just listens and forgets.
Immediately, Eunuch Xin asked someone to fetch pens, ink, paper and inkstones, brought in a table, and spread rice paper for the two of them.
"Come on, let's start the class." Ji Chen held the pigeon in one hand, sat leisurely on the chair, took the initiative to take the ink stick, then added water, and began to grind the ink.
Qin Sheng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Prince Duan, why don't you put the pigeon down?"
Who still holds pets in class?
"That won't work, I let go of it and ran away." Ji Chen refused politely.
Unable to persuade Ji Chen, Qin Sheng could only stare at the pigeon several times, "This pigeon is so ignorant and so fat, I think it's time, why not pluck its hair and throw it into the pot—"
Cook it and forget it.
Before he finished speaking, "Coo coo," the pigeon stretched its neck, flapped its wings, and immediately overturned the inkstone and paper on the table.
Ink was overflowing from the inkstone, and a piece of paper flew up, and the breeze blew, and the paper floated to Qin Sheng's forehead in an instant, and the wet ink stains on the paper were also left on Qin Sheng's forehead.
Qin Sheng angrily tore off the paper, crumpled it up and threw it aside.
The pigeon made a cooing sound and seemed to be laughing at him.
Seeing this, Ji Chen pressed down the pigeon's wings to prevent it from moving, and apologized, "It's not sensible, why don't we continue?"
Qin Sheng: "...stop for a while."
Is it too late to regret now?He suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to serve as a servant of King Duan.
Eunuch Xin ordered water to be fetched for Qin Sheng to wash his face.
Qin Sheng wiped it carefully with a towel, but saw a cloud-like imprint on his forehead, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he could not shake it, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
Eunuch Xin apologized and said with a smile: "This old slave made his own decision, thinking that it is rare for Mr. Qin to leave calligraphy, so he chose the best ink that is not easy to fade, thinking that in the future, he can also be inspected by King Duan..."
Eunuch Xin kept talking in a lower voice.
Now it seems that it is true that it is not easy to fade, and the owner of the shop did not deceive him.
It's just that the effect is too good.
Qin Sheng: "..."
He's going to shut himself up.
Seeing that this person and one pigeon were about to fight again, Ji Chen had no choice but to persuade him left and right, and then turned it over again.
Keep it for yourself.
Whether it's good intentions or malicious calculations, Ji Chen really doesn't want to participate.
Ji Han patted his chest and interrupted him, "Second brother, don't worry, I have asked about those medicines, the imperial doctor said they are tonics, I will share some of the medicines with you, and then I will pass on the formula to you, and I will give you two more." Man, you can choose the eunuchs in the palace..."
Speaking of this, Ji Han was also a little stuck.
Eunuchs are all men who have lost their roots. Is there enough yang energy in their bodies?If the yang energy is too bad, it won't work, why don't you give him a few guards?
But the guards all have the official positions of the eighth|ninth rank, unlike eunuchs, who will be killed and dealt with without any attention.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Ji Chen said quickly, "To tell the truth, I already have a sweetheart, and I am currently pursuing one or two. If I succeed in the future, I will come to the prince to ask for the method of cultivating immortals, and I will practice double cultivation with him."
"Oh? Who is it?" Ji Han looked suspicious, "You can rest assured to tell me, I will definitely not leak it."
Ji Chen blurted out, "It's Shang Nan, he won the leader in Dengwenlou, and made me fall in love at first sight."
If he was really asked to choose a gossip partner, his first reaction was indeed Bai Qi.
In Duan Wang's mansion, Bai Qi propped his chin, his eyes were bright, and the smile on his lips was extremely sincere.
He listened to Ji Chen explain the whole story, and stared at him obsessively, refusing to look away.
Then I made a note to the prince in my heart.
Ji Chen felt extremely guilty and explained many reasons, "I didn't want to involve you in the first place, but Qin Sheng already has a wife and Miss Ning is a woman, so her reputation cannot be easily damaged, and Bai Qi's identity cannot be exposed. I haven't met anyone before, so I just mentioned Shang Nan's name, not to mention that Shang Nan is a genius, and he met me once, so I mentioned you."
Apart from Shang Nan, he can't say that he likes Ning Shangshu Ning Yuan who is over 40 years old, right?His son is twenty.
Bai Qi blinked, and asked curiously: "The prince is quick-witted, and he can think about so many things in a flash when answering the prince."
Ji Chen was suffocated immediately.
Only he knows his guilt.
At that moment, he didn't think about anything, but just blurted out the name in his heart.
Ji Chen didn't want to get too entangled in this, so he quickly changed the subject, "You're not going to attend the literary conference, so why not go there quickly."
"What was the prince's reaction at that time?" Bai Qi asked.
Ji Chen said: "He said that I should not stick to the world's vision and act boldly. But it's the filial piety now, and Ji Han doesn't dare to push me too much, don't worry."
Ji Han's provocation was too obvious.
Bai Qi said: "Then I can do it myself?"
"As you please." Ji Chen waved his hand.
When the people left, Ji Chen had no choice but to appease the bouncing pigeon.
"Coo coo coo." The pigeon's voice was particularly urgent, as if arguing with him.
Ji Chen said: "Don't worry, I like you the most."
The pigeon flapped its wings and rested on a high place, tilted its head to look at Ji Chen, but refused to come down.
"Really, I'm telling the truth." Ji Chen brought some snacks, "May I feed you?"
"Coo coo coo." The pigeon's cry slowed down, spread its wings, and flew down.
"My lord, the crown prince sent Mr. Song here and arrested him," Eunuch Xin shouted outside, "Come here quickly, something has happened!"
Ji Chen's face turned cold, he put the snacks on the table, turned and went out.
"Cuckoo??" The figure of the pigeon flying halfway stopped, watching people leave.
You agreed to like it the most, you want to feed it, and you ran away so quickly?
Eunuch Xin was very anxious, and said to Ji Chen: "Mr. Song is the second wife of the Song family. He is usually close to the prince, and this old servant is lucky to have seen him twice. Now he actually sent someone to arrest Mr. Shangnan." , did not do anything to him, but brought him to Duanwang Mansion..."
Eunuch Xin hesitated to speak, he was one of the very few people who knew that Shang Nan was Bai Qi.
It was also because of this that he could not show excessive intimacy and concern, for fear of delaying the master's plan.
Ji Chen also knew the seriousness of the matter, and waited for him to walk quickly to the hall.
Song Xiaozheng crossed Erlang's legs, and ordered the table, "Give me some tea quickly, the Taiping Houkui is really good, and bring over two plates of lychees, to be chilled."
The palace maid bowed her head anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Young Master Song, Eunuch Xin is in charge of these things, especially the lychees. I can't make decisions on my own."
The second-class tea leaves are enough for entertaining guests, but the best tea leaves like Taiping Houkui only cost three taels in total, all of which were collected by Eunuch Xin, and only the eunuchs in the study were allowed to use them, and only for King Duan Make tea.
Song Xiao's complexion changed, she stood up, and kicked her neatly, "How do you do things? Do you know who I am?"
The court lady knelt on the ground, not daring to say much, but kowtowed desperately, "I hope you will make amends."
Ji Chen said: "She is just a little palace maid, she is really ignorant."
Eunuch Xin smiled apologetically, "Young Master Song, it's the old slave who didn't teach well, so let's take her down and teach her a lesson."
Seeing that the Lord is coming, Song Xiao was not in a hurry to care about a court lady, but said enthusiastically to Ji Chen: "Prince Duan, look, I brought you Shang Nan!"
Bai Qi was wearing a mask to cover his specific face, but he was sitting there alone exuding an aura that strangers should not enter.
A dozen or so guards stood around him, staring at him one after another, and there was a tendency for Bai Qi to take him down with just one step.
Ji Chen really is the first and the second big, "Mr. Song, is this?"
"Didn't you want to get him? I brought him here for you!" Song Xiao slapped the table and said excitedly, "Cousin Prince misses you very much, and is worried about your cultivation, cough, Taoism. Since you said Shang Nan Alright, then I'll help you catch him, otherwise I'm afraid he might run away."
Ji Chen: "..."
Bai Qi curled the corners of his mouth, drinking tea to cover it up.
Knowing that these people wanted to arrest him and bring him to Duanwang's mansion, he half-pushed and came here, pretending to be a frail scholar, so he had no choice but to arrest him without a fight.
Just in time, he also wanted to see what this group of people were going to do.
Song Xiao turned to look at Bai Qi again, "Shang Nan, I advise you to recognize what is good or bad. This is King Duan, the prince's younger brother. Now the prince is already the heir emperor, and he just waits for his majesty to be buried. Now he is crying On the thirteenth day of Lingling, the prince will officially ascend the throne in fourteen days. If you follow King Duan, you will naturally enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, and there are many benefits."
In fact, Bai Qi was about to laugh, so he could only keep quiet.
Eunuch Xin made several gestures in secret, signaling to Ji Chen that someone would come and knock on the door outside.
Ji Chen nodded slightly, motioning for him to go over and deal with it himself.
Song Xiao became impatient, "Shang Nan, are you deaf? Did you hear that? If King Duan didn't value you, would you still want to step into the palace with someone like you? Seeing that you've been wearing a mask, I'm still worried. You are too ugly to be seen by others, and your face is really unsightly."
Bai Qi sneered, "Then Mr. Song is so bold? Is there no law in the capital?"
"What is the law of the king? The crown prince is my cousin, and the crown prince is about to ascend the throne," Song Xiao said proudly, "An ignorant person like you is not worthy to carry the shoes of my Song family."
As soon as the words came out, the maids and eunuchs who were serving all around bowed their heads, even the guards following Song Xiao heard it, and even a few people applauded.
Bai Qi narrowed his eyes, these people will be witnesses in the future.
"Forget it," Song Xiao didn't bother to bother, and looked at Ji Chen, "I'll send the person directly into your room, Prince Duan, you have to seize the opportunity."
Ji Chen: "..."
That's it?
Before he could refuse, Song Xiao had already sent a guard to lock Bai Qi's hand with a cloth belt, "Prince Duan, let's go, where is your house? I'll send him there right now."
Bai Qi asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Hey," Song Xiao refused to explain, "You'll know when you go."
Ji Chen ordered a court lady to lead Song Xiao the way.
The flowers and plants near the main house are not lush, and a deck chair is arranged outside, and the table next to it is full of plates filled with various fruits and snacks, and a pigeon is pecking and stealing snacks.
Song Xiao took a casual look, forced Bai Qi to walk to the door, and pushed her into the room.
Song Xiao also specially asked someone to light a pair of red candles, and asked the people around to walk away, and grinned at Ji Chen, "Duan Wang, am I caring? For a man like this, you should be bolder. It is most appropriate to go directly to the bridal chamber. Here, someone sent it in for you, and a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, so go quickly."
"...Okay, thank you." Ji Chen said with a smile, "This statement makes sense, I've been taught."
He has the heart to kill.
When the liquidation is in the future, Song Xiao will definitely leave only a whole body.
Song Xiao was immediately satisfied, and he didn't forget to stuff Ji Chen with a bunch of books, "These are probably the books that the Taoist priest treasured, open them quickly, they just come in handy."
Ji Chen took it, and immediately understood, and said: "Your people also stand a little farther away, he is only a weak scholar, he will definitely do nothing to me, but I don't like these things being eavesdropped."
Song Xiao nodded vowedly, "Don't worry, I'll go back right away and won't interfere with you."
Ji Chen entered the room with a pile of books in his arms, closed the door, and immediately threw all the books on the table, leaving behind his pretended gentleness.
In the room, Bai Qi had already untied the cloth belt on his hand, leaning against the bed, waiting for him to come.
At this time, it was approaching dusk, all the windows in the house were closed, a pair of red candles on the table were burning quietly, a drop of wax dripped slowly, and occasionally one or two sparks burst out from the wick.
Ji Chen approached step by step.
Bai Qi sat on the edge of the bed, and when Ji Chen came to her side, she raised her head unconsciously.
Ji Chen took off his mask, rubbed his fingers unconsciously on his chin, and couldn't help jokingly said, "Young Master Shang, won't you run away?"
Back then, Bai Qi dared to hide in the palace alone to escape the pursuers sent by the queen.
"There is nowhere to hide in the sky and the earth." With a smile on the corner of Bai Qi's mouth, he took the initiative to get closer, matching Ji Chen's movements, "I can only be apprehensive about being arrested and let King Duan deal with it."
This is an extremely dangerous position.
Ji Chen felt that as long as he stretched out his hand, he could easily hug Bai Qi, and then let his own mind deal with the person in front of him.
With Bai Qi leaning against the bedpost behind him, there was nowhere to escape.
However, the trapped person didn't realize his situation at all, and still had the heart to provoke him.
Bai Qi said: "Prince Duan regrets it? But I was arrested directly from the Wenhui in public, and my reputation was lost. If King Duan doesn't take me in, I'm afraid I have nowhere to go."
Ji Chen carefully looked at his eyebrows and eyes, traced them with his fingertips, and rarely spoke the truth, "If you keep following me, you will really lose your reputation and have nowhere to go in the future."
"Anyway, this little reputation is gone long ago. I'm not afraid of having nowhere to go. At least with a companion, the future will not be difficult." Bai Qi raised her head and looked directly at Ji Chen.
There are thousands of stars in his eyes.
Ji Chen's hand paused slightly, feeling a deer bouncing around in his heart, trying to attract his attention and occupy his body and mind.
But all he wanted was to catch the fawn.
A wicked taste suddenly rose in his heart, Ji Chen pointed to a pile of scriptures on the table, and deliberately made things difficult for him, "You read it once, and I will admit that you are from Duanwangfu."
"I'm not someone who wants to be in Prince Duan's Mansion," Bai Qi pointed out, "There are several people living in Prince Duan's Mansion, so I naturally want to choose the best one."
Ji Chen nodded casually, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Okay."
Having received the promise, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he walked to the desk in threes and twos, opened a book at random, and his smile froze immediately.
He glanced at Ji Chen, then quickly turned his head and closed the pages of the book forcefully.
"Start," Ji Chen calmly urged from the side.
Although he didn't read the content, he knew that these scriptures were not serious when he heard that the Taoist priest handed them over to the prince for double cultivation.
Bai Qi forced himself to be calm, "This is a picture album, there is no way to read it."
"For the picture album, you can copy it once and give it to me," Ji Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Shangnan is the leader of Dengwenlou this year. It is said that calligraphy and painting are both excellent and talented. You can't even do this. Bar?"
Bai Qi was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Who brought this?" Bai Qi couldn't help venting his anger.
"Song Xiao stuffed me, and the prince should have brought it here." Ji Chen explained.
well.
Bai Qi made another silent note to the prince in his heart.
Bai Qi couldn't help asking, "Have you seen it?"
"I haven't had time to read it yet, not to mention that I don't like to read scriptures all the time, so don't wait for you to teach me?" Ji Chen said: "Since this book is not good, you can read the next book. Here, you have plenty of time to study."
Bai Qi didn't know whether to be thankful that Ji Chen hadn't seen it yet, or to be annoyed that he didn't take a look.
He forced himself to calm down, flipped through the next book, and then closed it again.
After flipping through five books back and forth, Bai Qi finally found one with writing, "This book has words."
But after he scanned the contents carefully, Bai Qi closed the writing booklet again.
"Young Master Shangnan, you might as well give up as soon as possible. The so-called retreat in the face of difficulties is a right thing." Ji Chen admired the scene where Bai Qi endured his shyness, and his mood instantly eased.
"No!" Bai Qi blurted out, "It's a big deal, I'll learn."
Seeing that his ears were red, Ji Chen finally decided to let him go, and said sternly, "I won't tease you anymore, you are tired too, take a rest first, I don't know what's going on outside."
Bai Qi put the picture album and other things aside, and sat next to Ji Chen, "It was indeed at the Wenhui when I was arrested, and there were dozens of students at that time, it depends on how brave they are. "
The red candle was still burning, and the lights were shining brightly. Bai Qi boldly took Ji Chen's hand, "Song Xiao said that he wanted to arrest me to meet King Duan. Do you know how worried I was about you at that moment?"
He doesn't care about being arrested, but he is afraid that Ji Chen will be plotted against.
Facts have proved that these students are not small in courage and temperament.
Many students were stunned by the arrest at the literary meeting. One of them boldly walked over, stuffed a sum of money, and asked, "Gentlemen, what crime did Shang Nan commit?"
"I don't know," one of the guards answered patiently after collecting the money, "He probably offended Mr. Song, so the crown prince sent us here to listen to Mr. Song's command and arrest Shang Nan, but we couldn't really hurt him."
Mr. Song?
Everyone looked at each other.
"May I ask if this Mr. Song is a figure in the Yamen?" the student asked.
The guard looked at him in surprise, as if he was surprised that he didn't even know this, "You don't know Mr. Song? Of course he is from the prince's mother clan, and is now the son of Mr. Song's mansion. Although he has no official position, he But the prince's cousin is much more powerful than those people in the yamen."
In fact, they couldn't believe it when they knew that there was only Song in a famous family in Kyoto.
"He's just a dude. Since he has no official position and Shang Nan has never committed a crime, why do you arrest him?" The people beside him couldn't help but interject.
"How do I know these things?" The guard stuffed the silver into his arms, "We are just following orders."
"Where is Shang Nan going to be taken?" People nearby asked one after another.
"I don't know either." The guard replied, then turned and left, catching up with his companion.
The lively atmosphere at the meeting disappeared.
The host of today's banquet was surnamed Zhao, who was a junior official in the Imperial Academy. He threw his cup angrily, and cupped his hands in all directions, "Everyone, if we made a mistake, we should be interrogated by the yamen and verified by the Dali Temple. There is a reason to take people away at will. Mr. Shangnan is still the leader of Dengwenlou, so he still has to be insulted by this."
"The Song family has Cheng Engong and the queen, and has the prince as a backer, so can he be lawless? An ordinary member of the Song family who has no official, no job, no virtue and no talent can command the guards in the palace, Even called them out to get people."
"If I wait to give in today, what about next time? I'm afraid I'll die quietly. I hope you will notify your relatives and friends, and join me in seeking justice for Shang Nan. If Shang Nan is guilty, that's fine, but Shang Nan Since he is innocent, I shouldn't just watch him being humiliated."
People around applauded.
Under Zhao Hanlin's command, some people ran to inform the prime minister, some went to Dengwenlou to call for help, and the last part called the servants at home, and sent people to follow Song Xiao.
Along the way, more and more people participated in it, and the team size continued to expand.
Song Xiao was completely unaware that something was wrong, swaggered through the downtown area, and then entered Duanwang Mansion.
The students who fell behind him immediately talked about it.
"I didn't expect Duan Wang to be involved."
"I don't think so. That Mr. Song is from the Song family, and he has never had any contact with King Duan on weekdays."
"That day's banquet, King Duan's hospitality can be regarded as hospitality, now why don't I ask a question or two first."
When Qin Sheng got the news and hurried over, he saw a group of people hesitating in front of Prince Duan's mansion.
Qin Sheng squeezed to the front and said: "Everyone, I, Qin Sheng, have the audacity to be the first in the world, so why don't I knock on the door."
Zhao Hanlin bowed his hands and backed away, "Master Qin is polite, the Qin family has a good family tradition, and Mr. Qin is also outstandingly talented. He is a first-class candidate."
After entering the door, Eunuch Xin saw the menacing approach and quickly saw something was wrong.
In a few words, he put the blame on Song Xiao, and wiped away tears, "Mr. Song has never been with my prince. When he came here, he first asked Taiping Houkui to make tea, and he also asked for iced lychees to make a fruit plate. kicked and injured a maidservant of my lord."
Fortunately, he was busy appeasing the maid and didn't let her go down.
The maid took a step forward and bowed timidly to the crowd. There was still a clear footprint on her shoulder, and her face was extremely pale.
Eunuch Xin said: "My lord and Mr. Song pretended to be false, just thinking that he and Mr. Shangnan had met once, and wanted to keep him, but now I don't know what to do."
The crowd suddenly became angry.
The group of people immediately continued to walk in, and happened to bump into Song Xiao who was about to leave with a group of guards.
"It's him," a student pointed out loudly, pointing to the chubby young man in the middle with a gold and jade collar, "it's him who got Shang Nan arrested."
Song Xiao was alerted immediately, "Who are you? Let me tell you, my cousin is the crown prince, and he will be enthroned soon..."
It's okay if you don't say anything, but once you say it, the scene suddenly becomes uncontrollable.
The young man who rushed to the front punched him in the face and spit on his face, "Bah!"
Song Xiao covered her face, panicked, "Come on, come on—"
Eunuch Xin shouted from the side, "Stop beating, stop beating."
Heart is happy.
The guards didn't dare to attack easily, so they could only stretch out their hands to stop him.They could see that there were some students who had no official titles, but some were from the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Academy, or even the Sixth Ministry.
If offended, they can't afford to pay.
Qin Sheng is one head and two big, but he has long been displeased with the Song family, so he simply backtracked and stopped Song Xiao from punching him, "These are precious literati, don't do it lightly." .”
Zhao Hanlin rushed to the forefront and took advantage of this opportunity to kick Song Xiao several times.
Song Xiao said bitterly, "I'm going to tell my cousin to cut you off."
When Ji Chen and Bai Qi came out to clean up the mess, it was already a quarter of an hour later.
The two were alone, Bai Qi went to the student group, and Ji Chen came to see Song Xiao again.
"Master Song, what's the matter?" Ji Chen almost laughed out loud.
Song Xiao had a pair of panda eyes, several bruises on her face, and the buttons of her clothes were ripped off.
"I want to go back, I want to go to the palace to see my cousin." Song Xiao said a word, then hissed and covered his right cheek, his teeth were all crooked, and his words were vaguely leaky, "These troublemakers, I want to They all got caught."
Seeing that the enemy is looking for death, what can Ji Chen do?
If he hadn't known that Song Xiao's surname was Song, he would have wondered which camp Song Xiao belonged to.
He could only kindly prepare the carriage, deliver medicine to the guards, and then send Song Xiao into the palace, let him go to find the prince, and cry out his grievances.
After seeing off the people, Ji Chen came to see the people on Bai Qi's side again.
"Your Majesty Duan has worked hard," Zhao Hanlin said towards Ji Chen with a particularly good attitude and even more sympathy.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for King Duan, Shang Nan might be in real danger this time."
"Then Song Xiao sent Mr. Shang to Duan Wang's place, just to force Duan Wang to do something. I didn't expect that the crown prince could not stand your brother so quickly, and wanted to pour dirty water on you."
"Prince Duan has indeed suffered a lot of grievances."
Everyone glanced at me and said a word, they were very grateful to Ji Chen, and helped Ji Chen to fill in the cause and effect.
Bai Qi looked at him with a smile.
Obviously, this is Bai Qi's contribution.
Ji Chen curled his lips, "It's all of you who are so powerful that you can force Song Xiao back."
Qin Sheng, who was the only one who knew Shang Nan's true identity, had subtle eyes. If he hadn't known how bad King Duan's character was, he would probably have believed in Ji Chen's evil.
Seeing that Shang Nan was successfully rescued and praised by King Duan, everyone felt relieved.
Ji Chen didn't forget to invite them to have dinner and drink together.
Everyone declined one after another, turned their heads and went to Dengwenlou, and began to discuss business matters.
Bai Qi naturally walked with them all the way, listening to their plans, adding a few words from time to time, occasionally provoking a few words, making sure that today's fire burns fast enough and fiercely.
The next day, the court was in chaos.
The Dengwen drum was sounded, and the students from Kyoto sued the Song family, Song Xiao.
Ji Han, who had not yet ascended the throne, got off the bed and sent off the five court ladies, only to see the impeachment memorials piled up in the imperial study.
One pile, one piece, all impeach the Song family, especially Song Xiao.From the Song family accepting bribes, burning the Guanlu Temple, and then forcing the people to death by staking the land, all the contents are enough to arouse the anger of the crowd.
The first one is Song Xiao arresting others in the street!
What's more, some people pointed directly at the crown prince and asked in the memorial who gave Song Xiao the power to command the guards in the palace and arrest a talented man outside the palace.
Qin Sheng naturally rushed to the first place, otherwise he would be sorry for the title of the Qin family's number one scholarly family in Kyoto, not to mention that he himself is the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and now he is using his power properly, and the content is naturally particularly sharp.
When Ji Han saw Qin Sheng's memorial, he was very annoyed, so he called Prime Minister Qin, and was furious in front of him, saying that Qin Sheng had ulterior motives and his words were extremely vicious.
After Qin Xiangcai appeases the students who came to beat Dengwengu, he went to see Song Xiao again, and asked him why he sent him to Duan Wang's mansion, but Song Xiao hesitated and refused to speak. Said that the prince agreed.
Qin Xiang's heart suddenly turned cold.
In this situation, how can he end it!
Facing Ji Han's accusation, Qin Xiang said: "The dog is incompetent, please transfer him to prevent him from speaking out."
Satisfied, Ji Han simply said: "In this case, let him go to serve as an attendant to King Duan and accompany him to study. Song Xiao has been wronged, so I will make him a fifth-rank school captain, which can be regarded as a comfort. .”
It just so happens that he doesn't like Qin Sheng and Ji Chen, so he can throw one away.
What can Prime Minister Qin do?I can only kowtow and say yes.
When he got home, Prime Minister Qin threw the table over, his chest heaving and heaving, "It's too much bullying! It's really too much bullying! With this time, I don't want to deal with the Song family, but I want to help them."
It was rare for Qin Sheng not to provoke his own father, "I just said that the prince is not a good person. You see, the old emperor told you before he died that he wanted you to treat the prince as if he were his own son. Now you have done it, and I have not." See the prince treats you like your own father."
"Shut up!" Prime Minister Qin sternly said, "You can say that last sentence?"
"I can't say why," Qin Sheng said bluntly, "Father, you are busy day and night, and the prince is already incompetent. Now the filial piety period does not forget the lucky maid. If you hadn't wiped the traces for him and took care of him, this matter would have been long ago." It exploded."
Prime Minister Qin sighed, "I would like to relax for a few days, but the crown prince did not have an enthronement edict, and the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, so nothing else will happen."
Qin Sheng leaned back on his chair, and said with a sneer, "Since the crown prince wanted to elevate the Song family and set up a double face, I recognized that this crown prince is not a Mingjun at all. Why do you care about him so much?"
Who is his father?The prime minister of a country, who has been an official for 30 years, has worked hard and never corrupted, and everyone in the court praises him.
What about Cheng Engong Song Zhi of the Song family?In the past, he was only a petty official of the eighth rank, but it was only because he gave birth to a daughter, and the daughter entered the palace again, that he became Cheng Engong.
It is unreasonable for such a person to be named the right minister, and to be listed as the prime minister alongside his father!
How long has the old emperor been dead?It's only fourteen days!Even before the person was buried, the prince was going to drive down the minister Tuogu who was personally identified by the old emperor. The appearance was too ugly.
Prime Minister Qin didn't care if his authority was divided, but he couldn't stand the crown prince talking about his son like that!
He is already old, so he just pursues a wife and shade?Otherwise, who is he working hard for every day?
If Qin Sheng really did something wrong, he would admit it, but the crown prince was clearly just making use of it, and simply didn't like him.
Prime Minister Qin sneered, "He didn't forget to comfort Song Xiao yesterday, he made him a fifth-rank captain, and he also issued an imperial decree to seal the jade seal."
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Qin became even more disgusted.
But it's disgusting, he has to help the prince deal with this matter.
After finally regaining his composure, Prime Minister Qin began to teach his son again, "What did I tell you? You don't understand if I tell you to talk less? You have to write a letter to show off your abilities. The crown prince is not a wise king, so you What kind of king do you want? How can you be picky about this."
"Isn't it the duty of a courtier to persuade the king?" Qin Sheng pouted his neck and said, "I just want someone who is knowledgeable, noble, eager to seek talents, considerate of the people, and able to accept criticism from the courtiers." King? Is it hard?"
Prime Minister Qin smiled angrily, and pointed out the door, "You go out now, but find me one. Even Yao and Shun, I'm afraid they can't meet your standards."
Who wouldn't want to have it?He accompanied the emperors of the three dynasties back and forth, from the first emperor to the old emperor to the present prince, he felt that one generation was not as good as the other.
"Look for it." Qin Sheng walked out the door with his head held high, turned around and hailed a carriage to go to Duanwang Mansion.
Apart from the prince, it's not really that there are no other members of the royal family to rely on.
"Prince Duan," Qin Sheng's eyes were particularly warm, and he felt that his dream was pinned on Ji Chen.
After all, Ji Chen is far better at discerning traitors than Ji Han.
Ji Chen was coaxing the pigeons with a fruit plate.
"Come down and let me feed you, okay?" Ji Chen coaxed, "I'll be with you all day today."
"Coo coo coo." The pigeon yelled angrily several times.
It will not easily believe Ji Chen's words anymore.
"Last time it was really an accident. There was an urgent matter. You see, I came to you when I was free." Ji Chen said.
The pigeon flew up a little more, rested on the highest shelf, and turned away from looking at Ji Chen.
Ji Chen had no choice but to take a few steps forward, trying to catch the pigeon.
"Prince Duan," Qin Sheng walked over enthusiastically, "I will be your attendant from now on."
From Yushi Zhongchengping to the prince's attendant, it seems that they are all officials of the sixth rank, but in fact the difference is not small.
After all, Yushitai has his own direction of promotion, but as the prince's servant, he can only rely on the prince's ability.
Ji Chen was taken aback for a moment, and the pigeon that was about to get his hand flew past his hand, "Master?"
Qin Sheng was just full of ambition, "A student is to accompany you to study and give you lectures. Don't worry, my lord, my Qin family is also well-educated. Before Shang Nan came out, I was second to none. I will definitely not humiliate my lord." identity of."
Ji Chen withdrew his hand, looked at Qin Sheng, and said in surprise, "Are you serious?"
Qin Sheng patted his chest and assured him: "Don't worry, if you say a word from a gentleman, you'll be quick to whip him. Since I'm serving as a lecturer, I'm sure I can teach you enough knowledge."
He didn't believe it anymore, why couldn't King Duan be well-informed and knowledgeable?
At that time, King Duan must be a hundred times stronger than the prince.
Ji Chen looked at him with sympathy, "Then do you know that I have been living in the cold palace before?"
Qin Sheng nodded slowly, noticing that there was something wrong with Ji Chen's eyes, his heart beat a little faster unconsciously.
He had a feeling that he might have some not-so-happy news.
Ji Chen continued: "I have never been valued by the emperor, and I have been in the cold palace all year round, and I have no one to teach me."
Seeing that Qin Sheng's whole body was stiff, Ji Chen made another cut, "No one taught me, it means that there is only one maid beside me, and I don't have any teachers. The court lady still wants to get ahead, and basically runs around outside. That is to say, in the cold palace I often stay alone, and when I was young, I didn't dare to run around, and I almost never got out of the cold palace."
Qin Sheng swallowed, and asked with difficulty, "Is the prince literate?"
Ji Chen showed a gentle smile, but there was a little sarcasm in the smile, "What do you think?"
Ji Chen can understand the words here, and communicate with the people around him, all because of the memory in Yuanshen's mind.But the original body was illiterate, so naturally he was also illiterate.
After time travelling, Ji Chen didn't focus on reading and literacy at all.
Anyway, he is the king of subjugation, so he should not embarrass himself.
Qin Sheng: "..."
The career that has not started is about to die, and he seems to be able to see the end.
Qin Sheng reluctantly arranged, "Why don't we start with literacy?"
Ji Chen had no choice but to nod, "How's it going outside?"
"It's in chaos," Qin Sheng sighed, "They are busy impeaching the Song family, the Song family is busy destroying evidence, and the crown prince is busy visiting court ladies... for a while, there is no way to calm down."
Ji Chen grabbed the pigeon that was standing still, and shook it vigorously, "You still want to run?"
The pigeon struggled hard, "Coo coo coo."
It just listens and forgets.
Immediately, Eunuch Xin asked someone to fetch pens, ink, paper and inkstones, brought in a table, and spread rice paper for the two of them.
"Come on, let's start the class." Ji Chen held the pigeon in one hand, sat leisurely on the chair, took the initiative to take the ink stick, then added water, and began to grind the ink.
Qin Sheng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Prince Duan, why don't you put the pigeon down?"
Who still holds pets in class?
"That won't work, I let go of it and ran away." Ji Chen refused politely.
Unable to persuade Ji Chen, Qin Sheng could only stare at the pigeon several times, "This pigeon is so ignorant and so fat, I think it's time, why not pluck its hair and throw it into the pot—"
Cook it and forget it.
Before he finished speaking, "Coo coo," the pigeon stretched its neck, flapped its wings, and immediately overturned the inkstone and paper on the table.
Ink was overflowing from the inkstone, and a piece of paper flew up, and the breeze blew, and the paper floated to Qin Sheng's forehead in an instant, and the wet ink stains on the paper were also left on Qin Sheng's forehead.
Qin Sheng angrily tore off the paper, crumpled it up and threw it aside.
The pigeon made a cooing sound and seemed to be laughing at him.
Seeing this, Ji Chen pressed down the pigeon's wings to prevent it from moving, and apologized, "It's not sensible, why don't we continue?"
Qin Sheng: "...stop for a while."
Is it too late to regret now?He suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to serve as a servant of King Duan.
Eunuch Xin ordered water to be fetched for Qin Sheng to wash his face.
Qin Sheng wiped it carefully with a towel, but saw a cloud-like imprint on his forehead, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he could not shake it, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
Eunuch Xin apologized and said with a smile: "This old slave made his own decision, thinking that it is rare for Mr. Qin to leave calligraphy, so he chose the best ink that is not easy to fade, thinking that in the future, he can also be inspected by King Duan..."
Eunuch Xin kept talking in a lower voice.
Now it seems that it is true that it is not easy to fade, and the owner of the shop did not deceive him.
It's just that the effect is too good.
Qin Sheng: "..."
He's going to shut himself up.
Seeing that this person and one pigeon were about to fight again, Ji Chen had no choice but to persuade him left and right, and then turned it over again.
