Pang Ji has never been a soft-hearted person, even when facing Zhao Xu, the future emperor of the Song Dynasty, he still had an old face.
This made Zhao Xu, who had originally planned to laugh and joke around, immediately lose his smile.
Zou Tong was very considerate and drove away all the people in the Prince's Mansion. However, when he saw the thick ruler in Pang Ji's hand, he couldn't help but sigh. There was almost no chance that the Prince would pass safely today.
There is not much difference between being a teacher and being a father in the Song Dynasty. Pang Ji did not intend to explain why he wanted to beat Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu was also very smart and did not interfere. He stretched out his palm and watched the thick ruler slap on his palm.
Those white jade-like hands quickly turned from white to rosy, and finally turned blue-purple.
Pang Ji slapped Zhao Xu hard fifteen times, then stopped, gave the ruler to Zhao Xu and said: "Your Highness, this is the last time I will teach His Highness!"
Zhao Xu's expression immediately changed, and he quickly handed the ruler back to Pang Ji and said, "Why did the master say this? Zhao Xuming is stubborn and does ridiculous things. It is only natural to be disciplined by the teacher, and it is a matter of course to meet a strict master."
Fortunately for Zhao Xu, he will still need strict teachings from his husband in the future. Zhao Xu is also prepared to listen to his teachings for the rest of his life, so why should he say this for the last time."
Pang Ji smiled and helped the prince up and said: "You said that I am a strict teacher, but you are not a talented person. It is my luck to have a talented person and raise him.
Over the years, the prince has behaved in a well-behaved manner, is prudent and generous, has an unparalleled respect for heaven and ancestors, and has the demeanor of his majesty.
Over the years, I have taught all that I can teach to the Crown Prince. When I have nothing to teach, I have no choice but to resign from the post of Grand Tutor and choose another talented person for His Highness."
Zhao Xu held Pang Ji's sleeves and begged: "Sir, your talent is already the best in the world. Zhao Xu doesn't know who else can replace you. Please support Zhao Xu for a while."
Pang Ji was filled with admiration when he saw Zhao Xu. Thinking back on the friendship between teachers and students over the years, even someone as old and cool as him couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red.
I personally watched this child grow from a babbling child into a majestic young man. I taught this child with every word and word what etiquette, justice and shame were, and I personally taught this child how to face it.
The treacherous and cloudy court of the Great Song Dynasty taught this child how to control the fierce horse of the Great Song Dynasty.
Now that I suddenly let go, how can I feel calm?
"The Song Dynasty now needs absolute calm. There can be no disturbances either in the court or in the harem. Only in this way can we twist the power of the Song Dynasty into a rope and fully support the great cause of the Northern Expedition.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are more than just a piece of land for our Song Dynasty. The land of Yanyun is also the throat of our Song Dynasty.
For many years, our vitality has been tightly held by the Liao Kingdom. The huge armaments in the north have almost exhausted the Song's fat. Even so, we are still shocked three times a day in the capital.
Taizu and Taizong never forget Yanyun Land, and Taizong died because of Yanyun Land. Now is the best time for our Song Dynasty to regain Yanyun Land. The prince must not cause trouble in the court or the harem because of your majesty's affairs.
The storm is rising again.
Once the Northern Expedition succeeds, I will fully support His Highness in pursuing this matter, and we will not give up until the truth is revealed!"
Zhao Xu burst into tears and held Pang Ji's sleeves and said: "The student saw his father crying on the couch due to pain and torture. He was in pain. As a son of a man, he cannot catch the murderer at the foot of the stairs, and he cannot take his own life in his place."
, You are truly a son of man in vain!”
What Zhao Xu said made Pang Ji Lao burst into tears. Even Zou Tong, who was standing by and watching, had already cried to the ground. He felt the emperor's hard work the most.
Pang Ji put away his feelings and said with hatred: "Your Highness, the most important thing for an emperor throughout the ages is to be able to clearly prioritize. There are some things that we must do secretly. I will definitely investigate in secret and will not relax for a day."
, once the evidence is conclusive, we will definitely uproot the murderer with thunderous force, and we will also let them know that the power of the emperor is as powerful as prison!"
Zhao Xu choked up and said: "The student just can't bear the pain caused by his father's weak body."
Zou Tong said in a seductive voice: "Your Majesty knew that he had been poisoned, but he did not feel the slightest displeasure. He has endured it for six years. Your Majesty has long given up hope for his own life. If he could go to see his ancestors sooner,
Zong, he will be even happier.
These words were spoken by His Majesty himself to the old slave. Your Majesty only hates those thieves for not increasing the dosage of medicine at once and sending him to Bintian."
Zhao Xu's teeth were gritting loudly, and his hair stood up in anger when Zou Tong said this. At this time, he wanted to know most who hated his beloved father for his immortality!
Zhao Xu, who was about to have a fit, looked at the ruler in his hand, but calmed down. He once again held the ruler and came to Pang Ji's side and said: "At this moment, Zhao Xu can't do without the tutor's teachings. Please bear with him."
Let me teach Zhao Xu for a while."
Pang Ji smiled bitterly and took the ruler again and said: "I didn't understand why Yun Zheng always said that the two positions of Prince Taibao and Shaobao were very unlucky, but now I understand."
Zhao Xu said with some embarrassment: "Marquis Yun said that he always likes to use others as shields in front of him. The reason why these two positions were established is to serve as the prince's shield. If the shield does not fall, the prince will be fine. If the shield falls,
Even the prince’s fate will not be too good.”
The bitterness on Pang Ji's face became more and more intense. He smiled bitterly and patted the prince's red and swollen hands and said: "The struggle in the palace is the most dangerous. The prince should act with integrity. It is best not to fall into the vortex of the struggle in the palace. You are not yet in the palace."
The age of marriage and all matters in the palace have nothing to do with you. Your Highness must remain neutral and maintain the necessary respect for the concubines in the palace.
As the prince grows older, it is no longer appropriate to go in and out of the palace!"
"But, my father, the Queen, and the Queen are still in the palace..."
"Both Your Majesty and Concubine Shu have enough wisdom to protect themselves. The prince does not need to worry. His Highness's rough testing of Concubine Shu this time is against human ethics.
Let me ask you this, if you really found out that the pot of porridge was poisonous, how would His Highness deal with it? If the news accidentally leaked out, as long as someone with an intention to publicize it, how could His Highness accept the throne under the dilemma?"
Zhao Xu trembled in excitement, and said in a clear tone: "The students have sealed off the East Palace, and no news has spread."
Zou Tong whispered: "Your Highness, why don't you think about how Lao Nu and Pang Xiang knew about it?"
Zhao Xu groaned, his face turning blue and red, and he was confused. In the end, he could only look at Pang Ji and wait for him to give him some advice.
Pang Ji looked at Comrade Zou coldly: "This is a rumor! Those who spread rumors must be severely punished!"
Zou Tong chuckled and said: "Old slave, let's do it now. Except us and Concubine Shu, whoever knows about this will die!"
Pang Ji looked at the blue sky and said leisurely: "There may be chaos in the palace for a few days. Why don't Your Highness the Crown Prince go and stay at Yunhou Mansion for a few days? I will report it to Your Majesty."
"Stay out of it?"
"Yes, stay out of the matter. You are too young to wear a reputation of being mean and unkind. Both I and Zou Tong are old. Reputation is no longer important to us. These evil and dirty things can be done by ourselves.
Let's do it, His Highness's reputation cannot be tarnished."
This is obviously the East Palace, but the prince was driven out of the East Palace by Pang Ji and Zou Tong. After giving the order, Zhao Yannian's prince's imperial guards were all in place...
In the alley outside Xuanwu Gate, the stone lions of the Yun family are still tall and majestic. The warm spring sun shines on the black and red lintel, and the four golden characters of Wenxinhou Mansion are particularly dazzling.
Compared with the majestic lions and tall lintels, the four generals carrying knives at the door are not so energetic. The two older generals are sitting on the bluestone steps in front of the door, and the other two younger generals are sitting on the bluestone steps in front of the door.
But he was hiding behind the stone lion, not knowing what he was doing.
The gatekeeper Lao Cui stretched out his crippled leg from the gatehouse and exposed it to the sun. Under the tall door lintel lay a big, old yellow dog yawning boredly. This was the most common thing in the Yun family.
on a spring afternoon.
Zhao Xu came to Wenxinhou Mansion with many gifts. Because he had come too many times and did not bring any formal support this time, the gatekeeper Lao Cui saw the prince appearing not far away and pulled him.
As for the rope in the porter's house, someone from the family would naturally come out to greet him, so he wouldn't be embarrassed by his appearance. As for the four family generals, they disappeared quietly at this time. Only the big and old yellow dog remained.
Lying at the door, he raised his head and looked at the prince. He had no intention of getting up, but opened his mouth wide.
Before anyone from the Yun family could come out to greet him, Zhao Xu ran up the steps in two or two steps, took out two beautifully packaged beef cubes from his armhole, peeled them open, put them into the yellow dog's open mouth, and then patted them.
Only then did the yellow dog's head enter the Yun family.
The eldest young master of the Yun family, Yun Ting, stood in front of the housekeeper Lao Liao, saluting the prince with a smile: "My sister is not here!"
Zhao Xu's face turned red and he said quickly: "I'm here to see Madam."
Yun Ting curled his lips and said: "You lie, does my mother like to drink cheese? Does my mother like to eat Liu Shisan's wontons? Except for peach blossoms, I have never found that my mother likes any flowers. You can do it.
What are you doing with so many Luoyang peonies?
Only my sister likes this kind of flower that blooms without dignity and has more flowers than leaves. As for viburnum, my mother said it is the flower of national subjugation and is never allowed to appear in my house. My sister brought some back last time.
If my little mother finds out and takes her to my mother, that would be miserable..."
"Get out!" Zhao Xu squeezed out the word from his throat and asked Lao Liao to help him pass the message inside.
Yun Ting shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and blew a whistle. Yun San, who was lying at the gate, wandered over and barked at Zhao Xu twice. That was the completion of the task. He chirped and lay still on the ground.
