Yang Guofu listened to these words, thought for a while and then said: "Dad, the son of the Eighth Prince, Xia Zhixu, said that he killed his brother."
At this time, Yan Jingqing came back, bowed to Yang Shanchang and said, "Teacher, I have given you all the instructions. I also made you a bowl of ginger soup. It's cold tonight, so you will feel comfortable if you drink a bowl of ginger soup."
Yang Shanchang invited Yan Jingqing to sit down: "Jingqing is thoughtful."
After that, Yang Shanchang continued, "The intelligence sent from the north not long ago said that the people of Daxia who were captured by the barbarians outside the northern border were rioting. Many people of Daxia fled back to Daxia and captured some barbarian soldiers."
"We got the news from the barbarians. There have been reports that the barbarian king Yelu Zigu in the north is unwell since the beginning of the year. If that man dies, his eldest son Yelu Peipei will definitely become the barbarian king. There is nothing to worry about that man, but if my guess is correct, their queen mother will definitely take the opportunity to seize power and take control of the entire barbarian tribe from her son."
"That queen mother is very ambitious. She was the one who instigated Yelu Zigu to invade the border of Daxia a few years ago. She also secretly contacted the Eighth Prince and had the previous incident in Yandi. If she were to take power, she would definitely invade Daxia again."
Yang Guofu immediately thought of the reason why his father mentioned this, so he frowned and said, "Dad, the Eighth Prince wouldn't dare."
Yang Shanchang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this isn't the first time that person has contacted Manzi."
Then, Yang Shanchang looked at Yang Guofu and said, "That's why I asked you to completely cut off contact with the Eighth Prince. Whatever is going on over there now has nothing to do with us. Just do your own thing well."
After that, Yang Shanchang sighed: "There are some things we can do. But there are some things we can't do! You made a good decision about the Japanese, and I have never told you that Your Majesty has his own plans for the Japanese. He should follow the path of the late emperor and completely destroy the Japanese. He will use that island as a place to station the navy, and take it easy when dealing with the Japanese."
"Also, regarding the wedding of His Majesty and the Empress, Jingqing, you are the Minister of Rites, so you should tell everyone. Nothing is more important than His Majesty's wedding. Everyone has made a lot of money in the past few years. If you don't want to die, you have to pay what you should."
"Send Wangshu back to her hometown in Suzhou. If she stays here, who knows what kind of trouble she might get into. If she doesn't want to, tell her to either get married or go back home. It's her choice!"
"Finally, we should start preparing gifts for His Majesty's wedding. Remember, you don't need to choose expensive ones. What matters is the thought, and it must satisfy the Queen. If she is satisfied, His Majesty will be satisfied too."
Yang Guofu frowned, but he also knew that after what happened, he could only listen to his father to stay safe, so he nodded: "Well, my son will find some people to think about the gift together."
Yang Shan sighed: "After tonight, the positions of your majesty and the queen in the hearts of the students have become more entrenched. I'm afraid that this is also what your majesty planned tonight. Haha, maybe she has already planned it since the beginning of these lectures, and Mi Wanjun is just a chess piece in her plan."
Yan Jingqing wanted to say something, but he was about to speak.
The steward's voice came from outside the door: "Master, Mi Wanjun and Lady Mi are asking to see you."
Hear the words.
Yan Jingqing suddenly became angry.
But before he could say anything, Yang Guofu, who was already hot-tempered, immediately scolded him: "Damn it, what is he doing here!! Tell him that Lord Mi has his own Tan Yuan to go to, and our Yang Mansion's pond is too small! It can't accommodate him!"
Yang Shanchang patted Yang Guofu, and then said loudly: "Let Wanjun come in."
"father!"
"teacher!"
Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing looked at Yang Shanchang.
Yang Shanchang said softly: "Let him in first."
Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing looked at each other, their eyes showing reluctance.
But Yang Guofu still said helplessly: "Let him in."
Right in front of Yang’s house.
As Mi Wanjun paced back and forth, she looked at the tightly closed door of Yang's residence, feeling uneasy.
At this moment, he regretted very much. Why did he have the obsession to give the Queen Hundred Flowers Jade Wine? He wanted to make further progress, but he did not expect to end up with nothing.
Not to mention the Empress and His Majesty, this even offends the Grand Tutor!
And today Yan Jingqing was also implicated by me.
The people in Yang's party looked at him with even more anger.
The future is bleak and dark!
but
The reason why he can come here now is actually because the lecture is over.
Because he didn't dare to say that he was not feeling well and wanted to leave early, because every time he wanted to say it, he was so scared when he saw the empress's expression that he didn't dare to move.
There was a sound of a door opening.
Mi Wanjun immediately ran forward and looked at the steward: "Master, are you willing to see me?"
The steward opened the door and said with a smile, "The Grand Tutor said, please let Sir Mi in."
Mi Wanjun was overjoyed, thinking, there is always a way out, there is always a way out!
Having said that, he immediately took out some silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the steward, then ignored the steward and walked into the mansion.
And at the same time.
Here is the lecture hall in the Imperial College.
Tonight's exciting lecture has ended, so many students in the Imperial College are naturally reluctant to leave.
Many people were still not satisfied, but looking at the empty main seat, they could only sigh.
But thinking of what the Empress said before she left, that if there was a chance next time, she could come back to chat with everyone, and then she could have a barbecue and give lectures, many of the reluctant students were full of anticipation.
Although I don't understand what the barbecue lecture means, I always feel that it must be something interesting when it comes from the mouth of the Queen.
The students who lived in the Imperial College walked in groups of three or four, and naturally headed towards the dormitories.
Those who lived in their homes went outside.
Liu Xuan and others lived in the Imperial College dormitory, and because of Yan Shu's relationship, everyone was willing to stay and help tidy up the lecture hall.
But at the moment
Everyone looked at Li Ziyu, who was surrounded by men and women and seemed a little at a loss. Liu Sanbai said, "Ziyu became famous overnight tonight. I guess even His Majesty knows his name."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zijian smiled and said, "Oh, oh, oh, our lovesick man Liu Sanbai said this. After tonight, I'm afraid your reputation as a lovesick man will spread throughout the capital. And when the results are announced in a few days, if you pass, the Empress will even be your matchmaker."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Xuan and Yan Shu on the side started laughing.
Liu Sanbai wanted to say something, but gave up and shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know what to say.
Liu Xuan looked at Li Ziyu, sighed and said, "Ziyu, you have been patient for a long time, having such an uncle."
Yan Shu bent down and put the fruits into the large tray and said, "But after today, Zi Yu's mind will be able to see the bright moon after the clouds and mists are gone."
Liu Xuan sighed and nodded.
Then he was about to turn around and help tidy up the coffee table, but suddenly he saw Mr. Shuiyun supporting Mr. Ji Shuying, who was drunk tonight, and leaving. He also angrily scolded Xun Siye on the side. He sighed again: "What is love in the world? It makes people commit to each other until life and death. Tell me, why can't our Siye and Mr. Ji get married?"
Liu Sanbai was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "There have always been rumors that Xun Siye had a woman he loved deeply before, but that woman died later. Since then, Xun Siye has become the person he is now, unkempt and cynical, and only loves good food, good wine, and beautiful women."
After that, he looked at Yan Shu and asked, "Yan Shu, you are a student of Xun Siye, did you know that?"
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't want to lie to his friend, so he nodded: "I know, I heard the Lord Jijiu mentioned some of it, but it's not the whole process, so I don't want to say more, so as to avoid misunderstanding."
Hearing this, Liu Xuan and others did not ask any further questions, but just sighed.
Wei Zijian looked at Xun Siye's back and said, "The Queen said tonight that we should not be unfaithful. She also said that many students who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations all had women waiting for them at home. She also wrote a poem, 'Light the lamp at the bottom of the well to illuminate her, let's go on a long journey together, don't play chess. The exquisite dice are filled with red beans, do you know how deep my love for you is?' Hey, Siye, I'm afraid you can be the man in this poem."
After hearing this, several people sighed helplessly.
But Liu Sanbai said immediately: "Why talk about these things? There are so many things in the world that can go as one wishes. The Queen said that there are only a few things in the world that are not as one wishes. So it would be sad if we don't talk about this. Besides, Yan Shu is in the limelight tonight. The Lord Jijiu asked him to write a poem, and he wrote a poem that everyone praised. What was it? Oh, right. The flowers fall helplessly, and the swallows return as if they have seen them before. Good guy, you are waiting to be in the limelight tonight so that those women will remember you, right?"
Hearing this, Yan Shu immediately shook his head and said, "Sanbai, please stop making fun of me. Zijian saw me write this poem before, and today the Lord Jijiu suddenly asked me to write a poem, so I just recited it."
Wei Zijian immediately shook his head: "Don't mention me, I don't know. I only know that someone has received a reward from His Majesty and also got the most precious fan of Master Yao. It's time to treat him to a meal."
After hearing what Wei Zijian said, Liu Xuan immediately said, "Well, it's time to treat us. Let Ziyu and Yanshu treat us together. No, and Sanbai, the three of you should treat us together to a good meal. You three have been the center of attention tonight. It's a pity for Zijian and me."
Liu Sanbai wanted to say something, but looking at Liu Xuan and Wei Zijian, he shook his head helplessly.
It's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere.
Mu Xu held a cushion in his arms, looking at Yan Shu and the others laughing and frowning, "Instead of doing their work, they just chat! How disrespectful!"
Master Yao was right next to Mu Xu, and when he heard what he said, he immediately glared at him.
Seeing Master Yao's look, Mu Xu immediately smiled cheerfully: "I'm just talking about them. Besides, Yuan Zai, I am also a chief priest. You are being disrespectful to me. After all, I am your superior."
Old Master Yao still had a bad face: "As a great chief priest, you almost failed to invite the Queen, so many people came here for nothing tonight! As a great chief priest..."
When Yao Yuanzai said this, Mu Xu immediately said, "My, my, don't say anymore, don't say anymore. Hey, you have this kind of personality, so the teacher was very kind to me back then."
Chapter 188 Su Changan, have you really been thinking about me?
Hearing this, Master Yao snorted heavily.
Mu Xu immediately lowered his head and began to tidy up the cushions.
When Wen Zhegu, Zhao Shi and others saw this, they all laughed.
But suddenly, Mu Xu clapped his hands and looked at Old Master Yao and said, "Didn't you tell the empress that old man Zhang Wenjing came to the capital in the past few days?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Master Yao immediately remembered.
Mu Xu looked at Master Yao and scolded him, "Look, you're getting old! You guys pack up, I'll go out and tell His Majesty and the Queen about this."
When everyone heard this, they could tell that Mu Xu was going to escape again.
I saw Old Master Yao standing directly in front of Mu Xu: "Keep busy with your work. I will also find time to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. I will tell His Majesty and the Queen then, and the Queen has said it tonight. There are so many things. Didn’t that girl Shuying look like that? How much wine did she drink? You are an irresponsible teacher and don’t care. I can’t ignore it anymore. When the time comes, I beg the Queen to talk to Xun Kuang. Talk, that girl is about to reach her thirties now, so we can’t continue like this."
Mu Xu curled his lips, knowing that he couldn't escape tonight, and shook his head helplessly: "Hey, it's not like I didn't persuade you before."
Old Master Yao ignored Mu Xu and turned around to start packing his things, but in his mind he remembered that girl Ji Shuying listened to the Queen talk about love tonight and drank glass after glass of wine, which really made him, an elder, feel distressed.
But think about it here.
But he also sighed.
What should two idiots do when they meet?
……
So much happened tonight.
Let’s not talk about what the Queen said to the students during her lecture.
The matter of the Grand Tutor alone made the officials who came tonight feel very lively.
Especially Li Chunfang and Zhang Gu, when they were leaving together, they mentioned the fact that Yan Jingqing had suffered a loss, and they laughed so hard that they almost went for a few more drinks.
However, after all, they knew that they each had important things to do tomorrow, so they just traveled together.
