Chapter 285: The Imperial Garden's Meeting
When the group arrived at Shanhe Academy, there were still two hours before the dinner began.
At this time, the civil and military officials who participated in the dinner had all arrived, and there were people coming and going in the imperial city, and the palace maids and eunuchs were running back and forth, preparing for the next dinner.
When the Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty issued the order to change, it was this morning, and in these few hours, a banquet was suddenly held for hundreds of civil and military officials, and it was really difficult for these palace maids and eunuchs to do things. Fortunately, in this dinner, I drank Laba porridge, unlike the kind of feast that needs to be prepared at least five days in advance, and at least a few hours can be prepared for tonight's dinner.
After Qing Yu and the others got out of the carriage, Ouyang Yan said, "I'm going to talk to some old friends, what are the plans of the three of you?"
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, most of the officials had studied in Shanhe Academy, that is, military attachés, and many of them graduated from Shanhe Academy. It is not surprising that Ouyang Yan has an old friend.
"The student wants to follow Mr. Zeng Yue said.
Zeng Yue is about to graduate, and after that, whether he enters the official career or stays in the academy to teach, as long as he does not travel abroad, he will basically inevitably deal with officials, so it is better to get familiar with it now.
Feng Jiu said: "The student wants to take Meng De around and talk about recent events. ”
"Well, it's okay, then meet in front of Wanfu Pavilion before the dinner, with Feng Jiu here, I think you shouldn't get lost. Ouyang Yan nodded.
After speaking, Ouyang Yan took Zeng Yue and left first.
Feng Jiu looked at their backs and said with a wry smile: "Although I am a prince, I am not very familiar with the palace." ”
As an unexpected product of the Northern Zhou Emperor's palace maid, and before that he was a sick man, Feng Jiu rarely stepped out of his residence before moving out of the palace. If you let him lead the way, you might be able to take it there.
"It's okay, just ask the eunuch when the time comes. Qing Yu said.
"Hmm. Let's go to the Imperial Garden first to meet my Sixth Emperor Brother, and now, I am also his right-hand man. ”
Since Feng Jiu began to cultivate, the sixth prince Feng Chaonan began to deliberately befriend Feng Jiu. And Feng Jiu, in order to survive the development period and infiltrate the power of the Six Princes, is also deliberately welcomed.
Both are deliberate, so their friendship is naturally natural and natural.
However, for half a year, the relationship between Feng Jiu and the six princes was like being born from compatriots, and it was completely impossible to see that there had been a lot of festivals.
And after Feng Jiu refused to hand over the Son of Heaven's martial arts to the emperor, and then was valued by the Shanhe Academy, the so-called brotherhood between the two was even better than before.
In the eyes of the six princes, Feng Jiu's refusal to hand over the martial arts of the Son of Heaven to the emperor was undoubtedly a renunciation of the throne. And being valued by Shanhe Academy also made Feng Jiu's value skyrocket.
How can you not make friends with this kind of help.
The two of them enjoyed the scenery of the palace and went to the imperial garden.
The Imperial Garden is located at the northern end of the central axis of the imperial city, connected to the harem, and leads to the east and west six palaces. The garden is full of ancient cypress and old acacia, listing strange stone jade seats, golden lin bronze statues, potted flower pile scenes, which can be said to be a rare grand scene in the world.
Qing Yu has gone all the way, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.
However, the more he moved forward, the more plain Qing Yu's face, which was still slightly interested, and in the end, there was no fluctuation in this beautiful scenery.
"Why, the beauty of this imperial garden can't enter Brother Meng's vision?" Feng Jiu couldn't help but ask when he noticed Qing Yu's uninterested face.
"It's not that it's not out of sight, it's that it's not interested. ”
Qing Yu smiled lightly: "My previous curiosity is actually a little bit of a testimony to something I haven't seen. After seeing it, this curiosity naturally lost.
The beauty is good, but it is only an appendage of power. And in the eyes of ordinary people, this imperial garden should be a grand scene in the world, but in my eyes, ······"
Qing Yu shook his head, "Although the scenery is beautiful, it is difficult to hide the man-made anger. This scenery is not as tempting as seeing a trace of its own strength. ”
Qing Yu's "Heavenly Son Wangqi Technique" combines the art of Feng Shui, that is, it does not deliberately operate, and its outstanding eyesight can also accurately detect the unnaturalness in this imperial garden. Coupled with the sensitivity of the "Heavenly and Human Reincarnation Method" to the outside world, it is no wonder that Qing Yu is not interested in the Imperial Garden.
Without the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, the pace of the two of them has invisibly accelerated a lot. After a while, I had already arrived in front of a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
There were already several people in the pavilion at this time, but listening to their rather fierce words, it was obvious that these people were not chatting and talking.
"Yo, isn't this Feng Jiu? Why, the spring breeze in the Mountain and River Academy made you forget the rules? Come and leave the palace, do you still have a father in your eyes?" A young man who looked to be less than twenty years old said in a strange voice when he saw Feng Jiu arrive.
Judging by the embroidered four four-clawed dragons on his clothes, this young man should be a prince. In fact, everyone in the pavilion, except for a girl in a white dress, should be all children of the royal family.
The men were all dressed similarly to the prince who spoke, and in addition to the woman, the other woman looked at her clothes and thought that she was also a princess.
Feng Jiu snorted coldly when he heard the young prince's strange words of yin and yang, and said, "Tenth brother, have you even forgotten the respect you should have when talking to the imperial brother? ”
Shanhe Academy has always provided a certain number of exemptions for the imperial court members, so that the disciples of the members can enter the Shanhe Academy through the back door to study. But this exemption was provided to the officials, but not to the royal family.
It's not that Shanhe Academy doesn't give it, but the royal family doesn't want it. It's just that those gentlemen rely on the exemption quota to enter the academy through the back door, and if the people in the royal family rely on this to enter the academy, they can't afford to lose this person.
Therefore, although the status of the royal family is noble, entering the Shanhe Academy is the same as ordinary scholars, and they need to pass the entrance examination.
And this tenth prince, listening to Feng Jiu's words, was undoubtedly unable to pass the test, and was ruthlessly brushed down by the entry meeting.
The Ten Princes were immediately furious when Feng Jiu lifted the old scars, and shouted: "Feng Jiu, you cheap ······"
Before the latter word could be spoken, Feng Jiu waved his sleeves and set off a strong wind.
"Tenth brother, isn't the lesson from last time enough?
Oh, I remember. Qing Yu, who was on the side, suddenly remembered this Ten Princes.
Shortly after entering the academy last year, Han Wenxin invited Feng Jiu through Qing Yu to go to the appointment of the sixth prince Feng Chaonan. Soon after ending his conversation with the Sixth Prince, the Tenth Prince, Feng Jue, sent a subordinate and arrogantly asked Feng Jiu to meet him.
However, the Ten Princes were taught a lesson by Feng Jiu. That should be the first time Feng Jiu had actually started fighting with someone since he started cultivating. Thinking about it this way, this Ten Princes is still quite commemorative.
