When he first arrived in Kyoto, he only wanted to visit Yu Yuanwei, but he was really not that anxious about signing up for the examination.
Hearing this, Yu Yuanwei's eyes flashed with relief.
He was undoubtedly touched by the fact that this closed disciple came to see his teacher before registering for the examination.
Then he said: "Then I will take you to the Ministry of Etiquette to report it now, so that you will not have to make another trip tomorrow."
He added: "When you come to Kyoto, stay at my house and don't go looking for an inn or anything like that."
"good."
Lu Fang agreed obediently.
He originally planned to live in Yu Yuanwei's home.
When Yu Yuanwei was about to walk out, he couldn't help but look at the little man.
The little man curled his lips disapprovingly and said, "You go to the Ministry of Etiquette first, I'll wait here. Just come back later and write me the poem."
Lu Fang nodded and walked out, becoming more and more curious about this guy's identity.
Outside, Yu Yuanwei asked him first: "Why are you with Princess Taiping?"
Princess Taiping...
Lu Fang was a little confused.
I didn't expect that she was really a princess. Moreover, this title was a bit too coincidental.
Princess Taiping was a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the little person's character, there must be a big gap between her and Princess Taiping from the Tang Dynasty, but she was indeed quite average.
"Met him at the door."
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Lu Fang replied.
He told Yu Yuanwei exactly how he bumped into the little man, and then asked his doubts, "Teacher, since she is a princess, why didn't anyone give her a gift?"
"Ha ha."
Yu Yuanwei laughed out loud, looked around, and whispered: "You must have noticed that this princess is quite independent in her behavior. She is out of touch by nature and always likes to wander around the palace in disguise.
, anyone who reveals her identity will make her unhappy. Therefore, anyone who has spent some time in the palace will cooperate with Her Highness the Princess's little fun. The Emperor dotes on her and has also issued an edict.
However, Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping could go wherever she wanted in this palace, and no one was allowed to stop her. However, later, because Her Royal Highness the Princess wandered too frequently, the Emperor issued an order that everyone should not delay the matters at hand because of her.
.”
Lu Fang felt that he had learned a lot.
A dignified princess, she just pretends to be a man in the palace. She actually got Liang Hanmin to make a special order for her.
It seems that this person is indeed too idle and is indeed favored by Liang Hanmin.
Fortunately, he didn't offend her, otherwise he would be pestered to death by her.
Lu Fang thought to himself.
He could completely imagine how bored this Princess Taiping was.
And Yu Yuanwei didn't mean to introduce Princess Taiping too much. He changed the subject and said: "You took Jie Yuan from Jingnan County, which is very good. I don't worry at all about your poetic talent as a teacher. What you lack is just your extensive knowledge."
The foundation for accumulating books. Although the exam is about to take place, I still need to read more books in these two days. If I am lucky, I may be able to achieve the story of winning three yuan in a row. I will also have a bright face as a teacher."
As he spoke, he laughed again, "Since your collection of poems came to Kyoto, it has brought a lot of glory to my teacher's face."
Lu Fang also laughed.
Yu Yuanwei looked at him and said, "I heard that you were deprived of your cultivation by King Rong?"
Lu Fang nodded.
It didn't show any bitterness.
This is not because his cultivation has recovered, but because he has made a decision in his heart.
Yu Yuanwei looked at him, but couldn't help but frown slightly, "Princess Yongle also came to Kyoto a few days ago, you two..."
He obviously also had some guesses.
After all, this circle in Kyoto is neither too small nor too big. Some things cannot be hidden.
For example, Liang Siqi was delayed in coming to Beijing due to the cold.
Then there is the matter of King Rong deposing Lu Fang’s cultivation.
This led to rumors about Lu Fang and Liang Siqi in Kyoto circles. Although Lu Fang had never been to Kyoto, his legend was circulated in Kyoto.
Of course, it's hard to say whether this has anything to do with Su Yu.
Lu Fang did not answer.
Seeing his silence, Yu Yuanwei said, "You admire the princess, right?"
Lu Fang nodded and did not deny it.
"well……"
Yu Yuanwei sighed and said: "Some things are not as simple as you think. I think it's better to forget the matter between you and the princess."
There are some things that he cannot express clearly.
Lu Fang said: "Please ask the teacher to clarify my doubts."
Yu Yuanwei said: "Do you think that as long as you can get the top prize in the palace examination, you can get the emperor to take back his life?"
"Isn't there this opportunity?"
Lu Fangdao.
Yu Yuanwei shook his head and spoke in a lower voice, "The emperor gave the princess the marriage to Jiang Jiaping, the last number one scholar. Maybe you don't know this person. He is a well-educated man, but he has a stubborn personality and has no idea of tact and flexibility.
And you don’t have any foundation to help you. Even if you can get ahead in the court in the future, you will definitely be a disciplinarian like before you became a teacher, and will not be able to hold real power. And you... whether it is your brains or your previous work in suppressing bandits in Jingnan County
His performance is far beyond his comparison. Can you understand what it means to be a teacher?"
Lu Fang couldn't help but pause and think deeply.
After only counting a few seconds, he said: "What the teacher means is that the emperor will not let the princess marry someone who is likely to have real power?"
Yu Yuanwei nodded lightly.
Lu Fang asked again: "What if I don't join the court as an official?"
"How can there be a champion who doesn't become an official in the court?"
Yu Yuanwei said: "Aren't you treating the imperial examination as child's play?"
He seemed a little angry.
I don’t know whether it’s because I feel that Lu Fang has no ambition and a long love for his children, or because I feel that Lu Fang has no brain in this idea.
Lu Fang also realized that it was not as simple as he imagined to get Liang Hanmin back.
Liang Shi wanted to rebel. Now it seems that the emperor is also guarding against Liang Shi!
"Can the teacher give some advice to the students?"
He had to say to Yu Yuanwei.
When it comes to his understanding of Liang Hanmin and the Dayu court, he knows that he is far inferior to Yu Yuanwei.
Yu Yuanwei's brows furrowed visibly, "Are you really going to give up your fame and your future for Her Majesty the Princess?"
Lu Fang smiled bitterly, "Teacher, it's not like you don't know that students have never been very interested in becoming an official."
Yu Yuanwei was silent.
Lu Fang was talented and knowledgeable, but had no intention of becoming an official. Although he, a teacher, had known this for a long time, he still felt it was a pity in his heart.
He originally thought that Lu Fang's thoughts would change after experiencing his cultivation being abolished, but he didn't expect that it would still be like this.
"I don't have any ideas for now, let's talk about it later!"
After a while, he said.
Then he continued walking towards the Rites Yamen.
