Chapter 12 Preliminary Discussion on the West Factory
Shuntian Academy was located in the south of the capital, not far from the palace. Liu Biao arranged for a carriage, and Wen Tianyu sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and meditative, because the roads in the capital were relatively flat and the carriage was not bumpy.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and Liu Biao said respectfully to the carriage, "Your Majesty, Shuntian Academy has arrived. I will go and inform you first."
"No, we are just here to see a few children. We don't want to disturb the people in the academy," Wen Tianyu opened his eyes and said calmly.
So Wentianyu got off the carriage and followed Liu Biao to the gate of the academy. Before he entered, he heard the children playing inside. When he walked into the academy, Wentianyu looked around the academy. The yard was not big, and there were a lot of
There were tables with some books on them, and children were playing and playing nearby. Wen Tianyu was suddenly moved when he saw the children playing, thinking of his own childhood life, and his eyes were blurred and he fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the four children are alone in a corner," Liu Biao looked at Wentianyu for a long time but didn't see any movement, and then whispered a few times from the side.
"Uh, um! Let's go over and have a look," Wentianyu said after coming back from his thoughts and calming down.
Wen Tianyu and Liu Biao walked in front of the children and did not step forward. They just looked at the four children they had adopted from a distance and saw that they were not playing with other children. The four of them were playing alone together and asked
Tianyu looked at it and shook his head. He should enlighten them in the future! I hope they can forget their hatred here and have a wonderful childhood and happiness.
"Liu Biao, let's go! Send me to the palace first. I haven't been to the palace to see the emperor for a long time. Now I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor." Wentianyu turned his head and ordered Liu Biao with a sad expression.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Biao replied respectfully.
When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, Wentianyu asked Liu Biao to go back first. In the evening, he asked him to send someone to pick him up. After sending Liu Biao away, Wentianyu entered the palace. It was already afternoon. Wentianyu walked through the palace and arrived.
In the court room, he notified the eunuchs in the court room, then found a seat and sat down to wait for the emperor to announce his presence.
About half an hour later, the eunuch who had reported the news came back.
The deacon and eunuch respectfully said to Wentian Yu, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has summoned you and asked you to go to the Imperial Study Room."
"Well! Wen Tianyu opened his eyes and stretched, stood up and responded, then followed the deacon and eunuch out of the court room, passed through a long corridor, passed the Qianqing Palace, and went straight to the harem. Wen Tianyu looked at the rockeries on both sides.
Garden, murmured to himself, this is much better than his own palace. The palace is the palace. After pondering for a while, he followed the deacon and eunuch and continued forward. After turning a few corridors, he arrived in front of the imperial study room.
The deacon and eunuch turned around and said to Wentian Yu respectfully, "Your Majesty, my servant can only take you here. A eunuch will send you a message later to take you in."
Wen Tianyu nodded and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
"Then please wait, my lord, I have to take my leave in advance."
Wen Tianyu felt uncomfortable listening to the eunuch's voice and wanted to ask the eunuch to leave quickly. He really couldn't stand the sound, so he quickly responded and watched the eunuch leave. He felt much more comfortable, and then quietly
Waiting outside the door.
Not long after Wen Tianyu stood in front of the door, he heard the annoying eunuch's voice in the study shouting;
As soon as I walked in, I saw the "Emperor" Zhu Youtang sitting behind a desk, and there were two people standing respectfully next to him. I took a closer look and saw that one was the eunuch who had just announced himself in the voice of the empress.
The other one was Li Dongyang, the cabinet scholar whom I had met some time ago and who had left a deep impression on me.
Wen Tianyu walked forward and knelt down quickly, saluted the emperor, and said, "My son, I see the emperor, and may my emperor live long, long live."
"Zhu Youtang looked at Wentianyu who was kneeling below and bowed his head and said with a kind face, "Yu'er, please get back on your feet! "Haha" it's been more than a year since you came back. I miss you very much. Alas! The prince asks you all day long. I've been to the prince's palace several times. It's good that you're back now and spend more time with the prince in the future.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have been traveling for more than a year. I just came back the day before yesterday. Today I came to pay my respects to Your Majesty and to ask His Majesty's forgiveness." Wen Tianyu stood up and said respectfully.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "It is business for Yu'er to gain experience in the world and understand the sufferings of the world. Why would I blame you? Uh, by the way, I just discussed something with Xueshie Li. You are here, so you can also talk about it." Your opinion.
Zhu Youtang paused and said, "I am going to build the West Field secretly so that it can be used to share the work of the East Factory and the Jinyi Guards, and to monitor this field and one guard. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Wen Tianyu raised his head and looked at Li Dongyang beside him intentionally or unintentionally. If he guessed correctly, it must be the old man's idea. Just come up with the idea! He also secretly pulled himself in, and Wen Tianyu complained for a while, and the emperor asked Thinking about it, I must have made up my mind. Since I asked myself, it was hard not to say anything, so I had no choice but to go along with the emperor.
After Wen Tianyu thought about it for a while, he respectfully said to Zhu Youtang: Your Majesty, the struggle between Dongchang and Jinyiwei has been endless for many years, and the establishment of West Factory can contain them, and it can also be used to collect intelligence and become the emperor's expert. He can adjust the department and not take orders from him. He can grasp all the information while the emperor is in the palace.
After hearing this, Zhu Youtang's face faded with a confusing expression and said, "Well! Okay, I will make a decision on the establishment of the West Factory in the future." After Zhu Youtang finished speaking, he turned to Li Dongyang and said: "Li Xueshi, you Get out of here first! I will take Yu'er to see the prince first. Otherwise, if the prince knows that Yu'er is back and doesn't take him to see the prince, I don't know how I will be annoyed."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first." Li Dongyang bowed his hands and replied respectfully, then turned around and retreated.
Then Wentianyu followed Zhu Youtang out of the room and walked slowly towards the East Palace. As soon as the two of them passed through a corridor, a figure quickly bumped into Wentianyu. Wentianyu was startled and returned. I didn't know what was going on. I was walking fine, so why did someone come out and bump into me? So I lowered my head and looked into my arms.
I saw a very delicate little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a green shirt, blinking at herself shyly with two big dark, innocent eyes, with a hint of embarrassment on her delicate face. Curious expression.
