Kyoto is the capital of Jingguo, the most prosperous and prosperous place in Jingguo, and the holy place in the hearts of Jingguo literati.
There are many wealthy families and great scholars here, which attracts countless Jingguo students. Compared with places outside the capital, there are undoubtedly more opportunities here.
In Kyoto, somewhere in the private garden of a famous scholar.
Dozens of young officials were scattered throughout the garden, in small groups, laughing and chatting with each other.
Somewhere, a young man in Tsing Yi frowned and said, "No matter how you look at Mr. Li, he doesn't look like a traitor. Let's count down how many things he has done for our Jingguo in the past few years. Even you and me,
You have benefited a lot from it, so why did you become a traitor?"
"He has repeatedly tried his best to prevent His Majesty the King of Shu from entering the capital and obstructing His Majesty from fulfilling the position of the East Palace. He must have some kind of wolfish ambition..." A person next to him flashed his eyes, shook his head, and said: "You can't even see the Grand Tutor and several others."
Can’t even the great scholars believe it?”
When the young official heard this, a look of hesitation quickly appeared on his face.
In other places in the garden, everyone's conversation was also limited to the Qingjun side issue that caused a lot of commotion today.
"When it comes to the position of prince, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the orthodox one, in line with the ancestral system, and in line with the ethical principles..."
"Although the eldest princess's talents are not inferior to those of men, she is still a woman after all. It is not an option to continue like this."
"He thought that relying on His Majesty's favor, he could intervene in the establishment of the crown prince. What is he other than a traitor?"
"Such a sycophant usually doesn't end well..."
…
In a pavilion somewhere in the garden, two old men were sitting opposite each other, playing chess.
After the old man holding the white piece dropped a piece, he said: "Brother Chu has never paid attention to these court affairs. Why is he so radical this time? It's strange, strange..."
The old man holding the black piece picked up a chess piece, thought for a moment before placing it down, and said: "Not to mention that Brother Chu is a little strange, but the position of the East Palace should not continue to be vacant. The eldest son of the emperor has entered the East Palace.
It’s the right way. How can a woman control the government affairs for so long..."
Snapped!
The old man holding the white piece suddenly dropped the chess piece and said angrily: "A woman takes charge..." Your Majesty's move is really stupid. Women's Federation, Women's College, look at what she did, what a mess.
thing……"
"I was visiting an old friend a few days ago. The old friend's granddaughter actually told me that the gentleman from the women's college told them that parents with single eyelids could not have children with double eyelids. This is nonsense. Your Majesty and Concubine Cui are both single eyelids.
Eyelids, His Highness the King of Shu, I have seen it with my own eyes, it is clearly double eyelids..."
He said in an angry tone: "When I finish this section, I must hand over a memorial and read it carefully at this women's college!"
"It's better to do the things at hand first." The old man opposite didn't pay much attention to what he said. After landing another sunspot, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, you lose."
…
"Although the Zeng family's house is big, it's not an option for you to live here all the time." Li Yi looked at Zui Mo opposite and asked, "Why don't you just move there? When did you want to live here?
Two days is fine.”
She shook her head and said, "I will never abandon sister Ruoqing."
Li Yi comforted him: "Who said you should separate? When the time comes, if you move here together, you can still live together."
"That's nothing. You agree, but Sister Ruoqing still doesn't agree." She turned her head, looked at Wan Ruoqing and said, "You think so, Sister Ruoqing?"
Wan Ruoqing just smiled and did not answer.
Li Yi looked at her and said, "Okay, but the old lady has been talking about you for a long time. Let me take you to meet her at some time."
"Ah, old lady of the Li family?" Her expression immediately became a little flustered.
Li Yi nodded and said, "If you don't go, I will have to bring the old lady to see you."
"This matter..." She stood up, her face even more flustered and nervous, and hesitantly said: "I, I, I haven't brushed my teeth today..."
Seeing her running into the house in panic, Li Yi could only shake his head. He understood her concerns. It was naturally not easy to force her on such a thing.
After she left, the smile on Wan Ruoqing's face gradually faded. She looked at him with some worry and said: "I have heard all the rumors outside. Mrs. Chen also asked me to give you a message. Don't talk to those people."
People are in direct conflict, has the matter really reached such a serious level?"
"Don't worry, this little trouble will be solved soon." Li Yi stood up and looked at the closed door. He estimated that Zui Mo would take a long time to brush his teeth this time, and said hello to Xiao Cui.
Then he looked at Wan Ruoqing and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
It was early May, and the weather was not that hot yet. After leaving Zeng Mansion, Wan Ruoqing comforted him and said: "Zui Mo must still be a little worried in her heart. I have been persuading her these days to come and spend some time with her."
After I think about it, I will agree to move there."
Li Yi turned his head, looked at her, and asked, "What about you?"
"Me?" Wan Ruoqing was startled and said, "After all, I have lived here for a long time, and I am still used to Yangliu Lane. I will probably move back there again. The house is too big, and with just a few people living there, it is always a little deserted."
"It won't be deserted when there are more people." When he walked to Goulan's door, Li Yi smiled and said, "You go in first, I have something to do, and... forget it, we'll talk about it later."
Wan Ruoqing looked at him and asked, "Will you come back soon?"
"Look..." Li Yi originally wanted to say check out the situation, but when he saw the look in her eyes, he swallowed the words that reached his throat, nodded and said: "Come here."
On the street, a sloppy old man limped behind him, and his speed was not slow. He shook his head and said: "When you were young, you would do whatever you thought in your heart. I would rather regret it now than grow old."
Come and lament..."
Li Yi looked at his legs and feet and said, "I go to see my second uncle every day, but I can't beat him every day. Why are you bothering?"
"What do young people know?" The sloppy old man curled his lips disdainfully and said, "If I meet that Taoist nun again now, I can give her a hand..."
Li Yi didn't listen to the master's boast and stopped because the Chu family arrived.
The Chu family's concierge was quite well-educated. When he saw the young man and the old man with handicapped legs and feet, he asked them very politely if they had any invitations. When he learned that they didn't have any invitations, he politely told them, too.
Mr. Fu is meeting some old friends today, but there are no outsiders. If there is no invitation, please come back another day.
Li Yi smiled and said: "Please let me know that I have come to visit the Grand Tutor. If the Grand Tutor is really missing, it won't be too late for us to leave."
The concierge saw that the young man in front of him was extraordinary. Although the old man behind him had weak legs and feet, his eyes were scary. He couldn't figure out their identity, so he said: "Wait a moment, I will report it. However, Tai Tu
It doesn’t matter if the adults see you or not.”
"Ning Chen..." He murmured the name and ran in quickly.
There was a fence somewhere in Kyoto, and two figures walked out. Listening to the gossip of the people around him, the middle-aged man turned to ask the man next to him: "Some people in Kyoto say that Mr. Li is the pillar of the imperial court, and others say that he is a traitor.
Wu Er, what do you think?"
"I don't know. I'm not very familiar with Mr. Li." The man next to me shook his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "However, I still feel that Mr. Li was wronged."
The middle-aged man looked at the crowd and murmured: "Since you have been wronged, why don't you respond a little to these rumors in Kyoto and the fights in the court?"
Wu Er sighed and said: "Who knows..."
"Don't worry." The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Li is a great man of his generation. These clowns cannot last long in front of him. We have to believe in him..."
