Wang Yongguang is not a young child, before serving as the head of Chongzheng Academy, he was also an old man in the political arena who had experienced countless positions in the Ministry of Officials, the Department of General Administration, and the Criminal Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

So when Prince Yizhong's letter appeared in front of him, he subconsciously felt that he was overshadowed by Qi Yongtai and them.

But then he realized that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to run away from Qingtan Academy.

There is no attitude on the side of the elder Fang Ge, which is an attitude in itself.

But this attitude is full of uncertainty, and all this needs to be handled by yourself according to the situation.

What does Prince Yizhong want?

This is a question that Wang Yongguang has been considering.

And what is the attitude and intention of the Emperor?

Wang Yongguang didn't believe that the emperor would not see this, but what kind of reaction would the emperor and even the imperial court make?

Sighing softly, this is really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

A man in a green robe came in, "Brother Fu." ”

"What did Elder Ge say?" Wang Yongguang asked in a deep voice.

"The elder said that when the Emperor Taishang was ill, Prince Yizhong went to greet him, he mentioned this matter, and expressed his hope to see the grand events of the literary world in the North,......," the man replied after arching his hand.

"Is it as simple as a literary event?" Wang Yongguang was angry, "This is about the two major academies of Shilin in the north and south, Qingtan and our Chongzheng, plus Baima and Chongwen Academy, as well as Tang Binyin, Miao Changqi and Zhu Guozhen, maybe there will be some other Shilin sages coming, what does this mean, isn't it clear to the elder of the pavilion?" ”

The man in the green robe was silent.

Wang Yongguang suppressed the anger in his heart and waved his hand: "What does Prince Yizhong mean?" ”

"Prince Yizhong is not there, and the housekeeper in his house said that Prince Yizhong is just a simple admiration for the sages of Shilin and this grand event, and hopes to be able to do his best for this grand event, and Zhao Yuesong, the young secretary of Taichang Temple, also said that this is also a kind of royal attention to the activities of Shilin in the literary world, which is a good thing,......"

"Zhao Yuesong?" Wang Yongguang was surprised.

Although Taichang Temple is nominally independent, but in fact it is already an idle institution under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

This is a bit intriguing.

"Well, in addition, the Guozijian side also thinks that the royal family comes forward, and it is also an attitude towards this grand event,......"

"Guozijian?" Wang Yongguang was a little hesitant, why so many people were so interested in this lecture, which made him feel more and more that there was something wrong inside.

It's just that these things have reached the point where they have to be sent out, and at this time, it is impossible to say that Chongzheng Academy withdrew and let the Qingtan Academy family come, and even Wang Yongguang still intends to compete for dominance.

"Then have you made our attitude clear to Prince Yizhong's mansion?" Wang Yongguang thought about it for a long time before he said.

"The palace said that Prince Yizhong would not participate in this event, he just wanted to show an attitude,......" The man in the green robe hurriedly said.

"An attitude?" Wang Yongguang laughed, this attitude is not simple, but as long as Prince Yizhong himself does not participate, it will be much easier to do, and it will not send too strong a signal to the outside world.

"Okay, I know, you have to be careful in this matter, I guess there will be some changes on the side of Qingtan Academy." Wang Yongguang thought for a moment, "You instructed all students of Chongzheng Academy to abide by the discipline requirements of the academy, and not to act and speak without authorization. ”

********

"What do you mean, Lord Wang?" Shui Rong looked at Chu Qi who came to visit late at night in surprise, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take the door down, and then went to his secret room with Chu Qi.

"The prince thinks it's probably not okay to continue like this." Chu Qi also sighed, raised his head after sitting down, and his tone was a little gloomy, "He is worried that the emperor will be so silent, but he is afraid that the emperor may be ...... after a long time."

Shui Solu's complexion changed slightly, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"The Emperor Taishang has been moody for a while, and the prince doesn't dare to disturb him more." Chu Qi rubbed his chin, "But the prince thinks that there is such an opportunity at the moment, maybe he can get a glimpse of the emperor's intentions." ”

"Oh? What chances? ”

Shui Rong was dressed in a snow-white Confucian robe, covered with a white fox fur, a slight thin face and a smile appeared on the left cheek, and the smart breath between the eyebrows and the bee waist and ape arms of the figure were really handsome and dignified, even Chu Qi had to admit that among the four kings, it was not for nothing that King Beijing was the most blue-eyed.

"Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy jointly held a lecture by Mu Xixi and Zhu Pinghan, Lord Water should know, right?"

"Well, this matter is very much hyped in Jingshi City, of course Xiao Wang knows." Suisoluble nodded.

"This matter is a major event in the literary world of Shilin in the Great Zhou Dynasty in recent years, the Emperor Taishang and the emperor are very concerned, and it is related to the direction of Shilin, the prince thinks that if he can win a good reputation in Shilin, he may be able to ......" Chu Qi wanted to say and stopped.

As soon as the water-soluble eyebrows were raised, they immediately converged, and the eyebrows revealed a thoughtful look, "Does the prince mean that he wants to take this opportunity to test the emperor's mind?" ”

"Not only that, the Emperor's intention is one layer, there is also another layer, such a grand event, if you can win a good reputation,...... Chu Qi's tone became cold.

"Shilin knows that the emperor is a dislike of Jingyi poetry, and the emperor is a favorite of Jingyi poetry, I'm afraid no one thought that it would be the emperor who sat in this position, last year's autumn and this year's spring competition test questions changed direction, so that many scholars are bitter, complaining, if this time ......"

Shui Rong frowned and said nothing, I have to say that this is a good move, a very clever trick.

Although Prince Yizhong does not have much attainment in literary talent, he has always been a virtuous corporal, and has always been kind to the people in the Shilin, and is obviously more supported by the Shilin, especially the southern Shilin, than the current emperor, and if he can win a good reputation in the eyes of the northern scholars this time, it will indeed be of great benefit to the future action.

What Chu Qi said in his words was not only the heart of the emperor, but also the heart of Shilin and even the Chinese officials of the dynasty.

Prince Yizhong, this is going to follow the old path of the emperor.

At that time, Emperor Taishang and King Lao Fu competed for the throne, to a certain extent, thanks to Emperor Taishang's literary style, which won the favor of the then first assistant, and then strongly recommended by Emperor Tianping, coupled with the support of the martial arts, and finally defeated King Lao Fu and won, laying the great cause of Emperor Yuanxi for 41 years in one fell swoop.

"Well, the prince can think of this, it's really extraordinary." Shui Rong nodded slightly, acknowledging this.

The current Great Zhou is different from the Great Zhou more than 40 years ago, when Wuxun still had a decisive weight and could influence the situation, but now the civilian power has increased greatly and has controlled all aspects of the DPRK and China, so it is of great significance to win the favor of Shilin and even the civilian community.

Chu Qi was also in good spirits.

Among the four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquis, although the king of Beijing is the youngest, he is the one that Chu Qi values the most.

This son is not only thoughtful, but also has a very wide vision, and it is rare to be deeply loved by the emperor, and even in the early years, there were rumors that he was the blood of the emperor, and he was also popular among the four kings, eight princes and twelve princes.

If he has the support of this person, then what the prince wants to do can really do something.

"Then what does the prince want Xiao Wang to do?"

Shui Rong raised his gaze.

"Mr. Huo Lin and the water prince were in the same division back then, and they were like brothers, and Mr. Huo Lin was proud of Han Jing Han Jian and was the chief disciple of Qingtan Academy, and he was the best candidate for the three tripod armors of the next department, I heard that Mr. Huo Lin was also going to come to the event this time, and Mr. Xixi and Mr. Pinghan gave lectures together, and the prince meant that if the water prince could contact Mr. Huo Lin, please ...... Mr. Huo Lin."

Mr. Huo Lin, Tang Binyin, originally had this idea.

Shui Rong took a deep breath, stood up, and paced around, "Mr. Chu, the guest senior brother does have a good relationship with Xiao Wang, but it is only a friendship between classmates, if you want him to participate......"

"No, no, Lord Water has misunderstood, how could Chu make such a ridiculous request?" Chu Qi hurriedly explained: "Chu means to ask the water prince and Mr. Huo Lin to mention that the prince intends to come to the event, but only as an ordinary person to observe, if it is timely to comment and introduce, so that the prince can have this opportunity......"

Shui Rong knew that since Chu Qi came this time and clearly put forward such a request, Prince Yizhong must have been prepared for a long time, and if he wanted to refuse again, he was afraid that Prince Yizhong would be suspicious.

"Then is the prince's side ready? If it is in a grand venue, it is necessary to have an article and a point of view, otherwise it is impossible for Senior Brother Tang to comment at will. ”

Shui Rong still couldn't help but say more, "You must do everything perfectly." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Shui, this time the prince has specially asked someone to prepare in advance, and it will not make it difficult for Mr. Huo Lin." Chu Qi finally put his mind at ease, and his face looked much better.

"Well, Mr. Chu, what the prince wants, I'm afraid that the road will be difficult." Shui Rong sighed softly, sat down again, and rubbed his fingers lightly on the black glazed rabbit lamp, "The heart of the Shilin civil officials is not so easy to collect, and the current emperor's performance in the past two years has not been immoral, although the courtiers have an average impression Chinese of it, but they have no objection, if it goes on like this, the emperor's mind may be ......."

Chu Qi also showed a bitter look on his face, who said it wasn't? But now that everyone is riding a tiger, these four kings and eight princes can still rely on the protection of the emperor to feel stable, but they can't see that once the emperor is in power, will the emperor still treat you martial artists so kindly?

This point needs to be reminded of these guys, of course, Chu Qi also knows that this is not to mention it himself, but to need the prince to wake up these people at the right opportunity, don't expect to be the grass on the wall, and no one will have their good fruit to eat at that time.

However, with a water-soluble mind, it shouldn't be so shallow, but you need to find an opportunity to explore.
