The National Teacher is a Rabbit Spirit

Bai Zimu looked at the crowd for a while, and saw a few adults he met yesterday, but they all changed into official uniforms today, and they looked more energetic than the day before.In addition, there were many people that Bai Zimu didn't know, especially the old man walking in the front. He had gray hair, was over seventy years old, and had many spots on his face.

If Pei Shao is here, he must be respectful, for no other reason, this is the current prime minister, Taifu Lin Boqian.Not only is he quite prestigious in the court, he is also the former prince and the teacher of the current emperor.

However, Bai Zimu didn't know him. Although he could see that he was the core of this group of officials, he didn't know any palace etiquette and didn't have much to say when they met, so he just took a look and left.

He drifted away, leaving a group of officials staring at each other.Those who met Bai Zimu yesterday were still calm. After all, they have seen Bai Zimu's ability. He is also close to Pei Shao and has no respect for the emperor. It is normal for them to be honest.

But for other people, they have only heard about the ability of the national teacher, but have not seen it.What they learn are all Confucian classics, and they don't talk about strange powers and gods, so they don't believe in ghosts and gods.Although there was a national teacher in the previous dynasty, this national teacher actually didn't have much witchcraft. He just had a good face and lived longer than ordinary people, so he won the respect of Lingdi, who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He learns the art of longevity.

They have never seen what Bai Zimu does, so of course they don't believe that he has any abilities. Now that they see Bai Zimu, they see that he is just a teenage boy with a clear and ignorant demeanor. It's not like a fairy who practiced Taoism.Therefore, many people even guessed in their hearts that Bai Zimu was actually just an excuse for Pei Shao, and that he was able to return to the palace because of the previous arrangement of the late emperor, and someone responded.

And this young man was probably brought back to the palace by Pei Shao because he was good-looking, so he was favored by Pei Shao. As for what he did, it is natural to guess.

This group of people is also a fine person, although they thought a lot in their hearts, they didn't reveal anything on the surface, they didn't say a word when they saw Prime Minister Lin, they just continued to walk towards the Hall of Qinzheng, and of course they all followed them one by one.

There is no court meeting today, but when Pei Shao comes back, he will naturally summon all the ministers to deal with the backlog of matters in the palace, as well as the battle with King Jin.

The people who came today include ministers who were released yesterday, and veteran ministers like Lin Xiang who were too old to be imprisoned in the palace even though they participated in the coup. Of course, there are also people who surrendered to King Qin.

Although Pei Shao returned to the palace, King Qin is still the regent and has not lost his power.Some people already have a sense of crisis, but some people get close to King Qin and believe in King Qin's promise, but they still feel that it is more beneficial to follow King Qin, and the little emperor is still too tender.Moreover, as long as King Qin defeats King Jin this time and can expand his power, even if the emperor is still in the capital, it will be useless.

After dealing with the backlog of affairs, everyone discussed the war, because the battle situation is stalemate, someone suggested that it is better to let the national teacher go out to fight, so as to stand up for the emperor.Everyone was in favor and there was opposition, so naturally they started arguing.

"Since the national teacher is an immortal who came down to assist His Majesty in revitalizing our Great Ning, it is natural to let such a wolfish and ambitious generation like King Jin see it, so as to deter other vassals." Someone said, this one is loyal to Pei Shao , but by mistake, he didn't participate in the coup, so he didn't see Bai Zimu, so he made a generous statement.

"It's just a mountain spirit." The other person snorted. Everyone looked over and saw that it was the servant of the household department. He supported the regent after the sudden death of the first emperor. The other ministers cast their gazes over and kept silent.

"The national teacher is a fairy who went down to practice. Naturally, he is not a monster in the mountains. However, our national power in Daning is still strong, and the regent's military skills are as good as a god. It is expected that we will be able to defeat the enemy and put down this chaos in a few days. Jiang Qing still needs to satisfy the regent's wishes as much as possible." Require."

Originally, the minister who was wronged by the regent still thought that Pei Shao could take this opportunity to teach the group of soft bones a lesson, but although Pei Shao refuted his statement that Bai Zimu was a mountain spirit, the rest followed their side. Yes, there is a lot of praise for the regent in the words.

Jiang Shilang was worried at first. He only knew that the emperor fled to Sheshan and brought Bai Zimu back on the mountain because he was close to King Qin, so he guessed that Bai Zimu was a ghost on Sheshan. Shao took the opportunity to make trouble for him.Unexpectedly, Pei Shao's words were full of reliance on the regent, so he felt complacent again.

It seems that the little emperor is really afraid of the regent. Even though it seems that he is already in charge now, the real power is still the regent.

The other ministers who took refuge in the Regent had similar thoughts. They had heard that the little emperor was coming back in a menacing manner, and wanted to do something to show his loyalty. This time, they all relaxed their vigilance. King this big tree.

At noon, everyone went to eat one after another, but Lin Xiang was left by Pei Shao to eat with him.

"I want to bring the national teacher to see the teacher in Japan today, but I don't want him to go out early in the morning." Pei Shao smiled, and personally sandwiched a piece of fish cake for Lin Xiang.Lin Xiang is old, his teeth are not good, and he likes to eat fish on weekdays, but now he can only eat this soft and glutinous fish cake.

"Today, I met with the national teacher." Lin Xiangdao, he couldn't tell whether he liked it or disliked it.

Hearing what he said, Pei Shao's heart skipped a beat. Since Bai Zimu had met Prime Minister Lin, it must have been before today's meeting, so he must have seen more than one Prime Minister Lin.Bai Zimu didn't understand the red tape in the palace at all, and with his character, I'm afraid it would be over after just a few glances.

Bai Zimu was not embarrassed about this, but Pei Shao felt uneasy and looked at the teacher.

"It's the first time for the national teacher to come to the world, and he doesn't know much about the world. If there is any negligence, I hope the teacher will not care about it for my sake." Pei Shao said, he didn't intend to let Bai Zimu learn any etiquette, and in the future he would also reject it. Let him say hello when he sees people more, it also depends on the state teacher's mood, so if someone is dissatisfied, he can only send it to him.

Lin Xiang nodded. He watched Pei Shao grow up and knew that Pei Shao was not a troublemaker. Since he indulged Bai Zimu so much, there was a reason for him.

Speaking of which, Bai Zimu is now much more at ease than Pei Shao, as the emperor himself, he has to learn more etiquette than ordinary people, and has more eyes on him.

During the meal, the master and the apprentice only talked about some recent things. Pei Shao didn't tell the whole story of meeting Bai Zimu, but said that Bai Zimu was a fairy who came into the world.People in the world have some prejudices against monsters. Most of the ghosts in folk stories are not positive characters. To be a national teacher of a country, you must first have a good background.

After dinner, they talked about the current situation.Pei Shao naturally talked endlessly to Prime Minister Lin, so he retreated from the crowd and discussed with Prime Minister Lin alone, Bai Zimu had already set up a barrier around him yesterday, no matter where Pei Shao was, he was not allowed to peep or listen within ten feet away.

This barrier moved with Pei Shao, and although many people wanted to listen to the conversation between Pei Shao and Lin Xiang, they couldn't hear even a whiff of it.

The two talked about that it was almost dinner time, and Lin Xiang was exhausted, so Pei Shao ordered someone to send Lin Xiang back to the mansion. Before Lin Xiang went out, Pei Shao heard the eunuch's announcement that Lin Cong, the grandson of Lin Xiang, had arrived.

"Your Majesty, my minister." As soon as Lin Cong came in, he saluted Pei Shao and greeted his grandfather.

"Zihui." Seeing Lin Cong, Pei Shao called out his name. Lin Cong looked at Pei Shao and excitedly wanted to hug him, but at this time his grandfather was still by his side, so he didn't dare to overstep the rules.Lin Cong is not only the prime minister's grandson, but also Pei Shao's companion. The two grew up together, and their deep relationship is incomparable.Lin Cong is four years older than Pei Shao, and now he has been crowned. He used to be a guard by Pei Shao's side, but now he is an official outside.

During the coup, Lin Cong also contributed a lot, but in the end, because of his grandfather's health, he was unable to personally protect Pei Shao.Now when he saw Pei Shao, he thought of the other guards who protected Pei Shao from his death. They were all together before, but now they were separated forever, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

Just as Lin Cong wanted to have a few words with Pei Shao, he heard the door being pushed open, and it was none other than Bai Zimu who came in.

"Zimu, how did you find it?" Pei Shao saw Bai Zimu, immediately attracted his attention, and stood up to meet him.

"I asked Xiaoying, and he said you are here." Bai Zimu said, he walked around outside, returned to the bedroom at noon, ate by himself, and slept again, after that Xiaoying taught him how to play backgammon , in the middle of the afternoon, Bai Zimu asked him where Pei Shao was, and Xiaoying guessed that Pei Shao's affairs were almost done, so he asked someone to bring Bai Zimu here.

Lin Xiang, who had closed his eyes to rest his mind, opened his eyes and saw Bai Zimu holding Pei Shao's hand and following Pei Shao over.

"Zimu, this is Xiang Lin and my teacher." Pei Shao introduced.

"Lin Xiang." Bai Zimu nodded in greeting.

"This is Prime Minister Lin's grandson, my good friend, Lin Cong, nicknamed Zihui." Pei Shao introduced Lin Cong to him again.Bai Zimu looked at Lin Cong. Lin Cong didn't look bad. He was older than Pei Shao, slightly taller than Pei Shao. He practiced martial arts all the year round, so he was in better shape, more mature, and handsome.

"Lin Cong." Bai Zimu wrote down the name.

"I have met the national teacher." Lin Cong saluted Bai Zimu, and when he raised his head, he also looked at Bai Zimu, but all his emotions were hidden in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I'm taking grandfather home first." Lin Cong couldn't say anything to Pei Shao at this moment, so he left.Pei Shao and Bai Zimu were left behind, and Bai Zimu looked at the furnishings here. This is the place where Pei Shao handles daily affairs. There are books and memorials piled up there, which is different from the sleeping hall.

"What did you have for lunch today?" Pei Shao asked him.

"Hot pot, I ate mutton." When Pei Shao was away, Xiao Yan asked the imperial dining room to make some fresh food for Bai Zimu. It's cold today, so it's just right to eat hot pot.The lamb is freshly slaughtered, served with seasonal vegetables, meatballs and fish balls, etc., rinsed in a slightly spicy soup pot, and the whole person will be warmed up after eating.

"Why do you want to come here to find me?" Pei Shao asked. He looked at Bai Zimu with a smile, wanting to see his reaction, but before Bai Zimu could speak, the eunuch came to inform him again.

Pei Shao asked him to bring someone in, not someone else, but the supervisor sent by Pei Shao.

Ministers: We have to see the attitude of the national teacher towards us.
