Qi Yu didn't pay much attention to the death of King Yongchuan. He was stunned for a moment, and then he went back to what he was doing.
The same is true for the common people. In their eyes, what is the benefit of paying attention to the life and death of the prince? How can this be as beneficial as having one more egg laid by one's own chicken?
However, the students with backgrounds next door are different. They have broad horizons and many channels for obtaining information. They like to show off these in private to prove how extraordinary their backgrounds are.
Qi Yu hurriedly hissed to Qi Jing and signaled to listen quietly.
At this time, another sound came from next door...
"I heard someone say that I have already guessed that King Yongchuan has ulterior motives and has sent a mysterious person to monitor him since last year. But I don't know who this person is."
After a pause, the man continued: "There are also rumors that although Jinshang is dissatisfied with King Yongchuan, he is his son after all, so he does not intend to have a quarrel and is thinking about how to turn the conflict into friendship. Now that the prince died suddenly, Jinshang is extremely
Someone may be sent to investigate."
Another person said: "This is not necessarily true. Prince Yongchuan was caught with ulterior motives and is a criminal himself. Now that he is dead, if any more dirt is found, wouldn't it be a joke to the world?"
After a pause, the man continued: "Actually, it is not difficult to observe the current attitude. We only need to see who is appointed here. If the people sent are from the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites, the purpose is to
Focusing on mourning, it means that the matter has been turned into a big deal. If in addition to these two departments, people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are also appointed to accompany it, it means that we can get to the bottom of it."
It makes sense. The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of criminal cases, and Dali Temple is directly responsible for serious and important cases. If they are accompanied, the meaning is self-evident.
After a moment of silence, another person suddenly sighed: "Oh, King Yongchuan is so stupid. He is just chasing a moth into the flame, and he can't blame others!"
"how do I say this?"
"Do you still remember that the blacksmith in Fucheng disappeared some time ago? In addition, there was also the rush to buy horse leather?"
"of course I remember."
"What do you think a blacksmith can do? Make weapons! As for horse leather, haha, isn't it just used for shrouding corpses? In fact, this news did not come from groundless sources, but was deliberately spread by the mysterious man, alluding to nature.
It's King Yongchuan. If no one was watching in the dark, how could it be possible that the emperor worshiping sect had just taken action and the government troops immediately gathered in place? I guess the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already noticed it, so how could it happen now?
Don’t you know?”
Qi Yu's heart froze. He really didn't expect that the rumors about the blacksmith and the horse leather were deliberately released by someone. From this point of view, King Yongchuan had no regrets. However, why did he risk everything even though he knew there was such a risk?
No one knows this, perhaps only King Yongchuan himself knows it in his heart.
…
After the banquet was over, both Qi Yu and Qi Jing returned to the school with complicated emotions.
"Brother Qi, please don't talk nonsense about what you heard today."
"What did I say? Haha, I have forgotten it now..."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Brother Qi also has a wise side."
…
In the afternoon, the Fu Xue still offered an elective course, which was ‘Le’ among the six arts.
Play and sing?
What fun is this!
Qi Yu was not interested in this and chose to study in the dormitory.
Yin Jun didn't seem to be interested in music theory either, and he also chose to spend time in the dormitory.
Door to door, window to window, the two looked at each other with disgust.
"snort!"
First they glanced at each other, and then they went about their business.
Qi Yu reads loudly, while Yin Jun paints silently.
The two of them entertained themselves, quite like a well and not a river.
While reading, Qi Yu suddenly felt something and chanted loudly: "If you don't study for a day, you will have no good ideas. Haha, people who don't study are idiots!"
Yin Jun did not go around the corner for a while, but also entertained himself: "Yes, just like this painting, practice makes perfect. I hope that one day I can reach the level of Mr. Xingyan. At that time, I was in
I saw his paintings at the auction, and they are much better than mine."
Um?
Are you actually a fan of me?
"What are you graffitiing now?" Qi Yu glanced sideways and asked curiously.
"Do you know how to draw?" Yin Jun said angrily, then suddenly thought about it and said: "I almost forgot that you are also proficient in drawing. If I remember correctly, you once went to Master Yu to pick some.
Silver reward!"
Qi Yu looked proud and said: "If I remember correctly, you also went to pick up the silver reward, but your painting skills were too poor and Master Yu didn't like it!"
"Bah! Whose painting skills are so bad? You are a dead villager!" Yin Jun was not really angry, and asked again: "I asked, do you understand color painting?"
What words!
You are facing the real originator!
"Um?"
Driven by curiosity, Qi Yu walked into his dormitory for the first time.
Fortunately, except for some dirty clothes, the room is generally tidy.
Let’s look at his paintings first.
Haha, it turns out to be the bamboo picture in "Three Friends of Winter".
Seeing this painting, I couldn't help but think of the time when he borrowed the help of his brother-in-law to get the painting. It was this subject that he obtained by deception. It seemed that he really liked it.
Frankly speaking, his bamboo painting is quite good and very expressive, but the technique is a bit rusty and some details are not handled properly.
However, it is very rare to be able to learn this on your own.
This guy is indeed a talented person!
Yin Jun saw the astonishment on his face and couldn't help but feel proud. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Look, what do I draw?"
"Ahem! Generally speaking, it's just so-so. From a professional point of view, the spirituality is acceptable but the craftsmanship is insufficient. It can barely reach half of my level." Qi Yu commented against his will.
"What? Only half of yours?" Yin Jun was very unconvinced, snorted and said: "You draw a picture, I want to see, how can you draw better than me?"
Hey, you want to see my real handiwork?
That's very valuable!
There are no doors!
However, authentic works can also be divided into many types, why not give him some pointers?
"Since you worship me so much, I'll show you my hand. Just open your eyes and see!" Qi Yu rolled up his sleeves and reached out to grab the brush.
Yin Jun was overjoyed and looked at him attentively.
But I saw that he first wrote a rough "big" shape on his bamboo picture, then drew a circle on the top of the big character, then clicked a few dots and stopped writing.
This...is it over?
What to draw?
Seeing that his plan was successful, Qi Yu smiled and said, "Look, my little man is drawn very concisely, and the shape is outlined in just a few strokes. It's so wonderful!"
What...are you drawing a person?
Broken, tricked!
After coming to his senses, Yin Jun gritted his teeth and said: "You, a mountain villager, ruined a good painting of mine!"
"Haha, farewell, sir, I'm going!"
"..."
After leaving the door, Qi Yu looked back and saw that the guy's face was purple with anger.
It’s so refreshing~~
Haha, if he knew now that the idol he worshiped was himself, I wonder what he would feel like?
In the next few days, the government school began to teach normally.
And the students have also entered a normal learning rhythm.
Although Mr. Yu is acting as the prefect, he is still a new official taking office. The first thing to burn is the prefecture... The prefect gives lectures.
The three major political achievements of local officials: taxation, public security, and culture and education. And culture and education are also the easiest to do superficial work.
When the prefect gives lectures, he is even more hands-on.
This move not only reflects the new prefect's emphasis on education, but also quickly improves his personal image, killing two birds with one stone.
The content discussed was mainly about current affairs, including the various dangers of imperial worship.
Mr. Yu was very eloquent, and his speech was unscripted throughout. He spoke vividly and vividly. Just as the students were listening with great interest, a Yamen servant suddenly rushed over and reported that two imperial edicts had arrived.
Imperial decree? Two ways?
This was a big deal. At this age, Master Yu encountered an imperial edict for the first time, so he hurriedly arranged his clothes and trotted all the way.
After running a certain distance, he turned back and shouted: "Class is over!"
Buzzing…
Everyone was in an uproar and making various guesses in their minds: What kind of imperial edicts are these two?
Normally, the students can leave on their own, but now no one has moved. They are all waiting for news of the imperial edict. Since it is not a secret edict, it will be announced to the public.
Sure enough, a small official ran over not long after. He first whispered a few words to the supervisor, and then hurriedly rang the alarm bell of the academy.
Shocking news!
The mountains collapsed!
Yes, the emperor is gone!
After the students were in an uproar for a while, they began to whisper to themselves.
Qi Yu counted on his fingers. The deceased emperor had been the prince for more than 20 years. It was not until last year that he survived the death of the late emperor and successfully ascended the supreme throne. Who would have thought that he would become the prince?
After one year as emperor, he was promoted to the late emperor?
The imperial edict also mentioned that the crown prince's enthronement was a great treasure, his reign was named Yuan Yun, he would be granted amnesty to the whole world, and the Ministry of Rites would open an encore!
The edict also mentioned the cause of the death of the newly promoted late emperor, saying that he died suddenly in Qin'an Hall due to sudden physical discomfort, which was a sudden collapse without any illness.
To the students, it doesn't matter how the late emperor died, and it has nothing to do with them. However, Kai Enke is very important, and it is great news.
What does Enke represent? That is, one more opportunity for the imperial examination!
At this time, Qi Yu's heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered what Meng Lanshan had said to him. He asked himself not to slack off and continue studying hard. He also said that sometimes things about the imperial examination were uncertain.
Where is it?
Looking at it now, it is really ahead of schedule. Is this purely a coincidence?
Could it be that... Sir, you have already discerned something?
Let’s talk about the second imperial edict. The new emperor ordered the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites to come to Yongchuan Mansion as soon as possible to pay tribute to King Yongchuan who “accidentally fell from his horse and died.” Civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in the provincial government went to express their condolences. However, the Imperial Worship Cult only
Not mentioned.
Died? Or accidentally fell off a horse?
Who believes it?
Also, the imperial edict did not mention the involvement of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, which means that there is no need to investigate this matter further.
The imperial edict is the final word!
But, why were the death of King Yongchuan and the death of the late emperor so close? Could it be that there was something wrong with the bloodline of the royal family and all of them were short-lived? Also, is there any connection between the two?
