When a group of people from the East Palace came here, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
However, his eyes fell on the passionate face of the prince, and they softened instantly. A touch of warmth appeared on the tired and indifferent face.
"If you don't study in the East Palace, why do you come to see me?"
Even the tenderness lasted only for a moment, and Emperor Tianqi’s questioning followed.
The prince's young master spoke first and briefly summarized the matter. When he heard that Chen Ping took out a map of the universe, and it was probably correct, Emperor Tianqi was surprisingly surprised.
When did the number one scholar know about astronomy and geography?
If you simply dabble in it, it's nothing, but this map?
Looking at the map presented by Chen Ping, Emperor Tianqi unfolded it himself. As the world on paper came into view, Emperor Tianqi was extremely shocked.
After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he looked at Chen Ping with complex eyes.
"Your Majesty, this picture..."
"Master Wang, Dr. Liu, you go down first."
Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, and the prince's young master who had just spoken was stunned for a moment, swallowed the words on his lips, and then walked away with his hands.
"Chen Ping, I asked you to go to the East Palace to teach the prince, but I didn't expect you to do this to me."
Is this a compliment or a compliment? Chen Ping smiled and cupped his hands with an innocent expression on his face, just take it as a compliment.
Glancing at Chen Ping, who was "harmless to humans and animals", Emperor Tianqi turned to look at the prince. At this time, he was eager to try, and he was full of things to say at a glance.
Emperor Tianqi was a little relieved to see this scene. He had forgotten how long it had been since he saw this expression on the prince's face.
In other words, it has been a long time since he took a good look at his son. The review was between father and son, not between monarch and minister.
"Chen Ping, please go back too, don't forget your agreement with me."
Emperor Tianqi suddenly waved his hand and said. The tone of the following words was obviously heavier, and it seemed to contain the meaning of beating or reminding.
Chen Ping understood that this was probably because the emperor had something to say to his son, so he bowed and left in a very sensible manner.
There doesn't seem to be any big gap or contradiction between the emperor and the prince. No wonder the one is so impatient. After all, brotherhood only occurs when the emperor has no heirs, or the prince is mediocre and incompetent.
Only then do you have a chance.
"I don't know what move you will make next, my, His Highness, King Chu..."
Facing the setting sun, Chen Ping raised the corners of his mouth slightly and walked out of the palace with a smile.
At the same time, far away in a majestic garden in Jingzhou.
A group of dignified and beautiful palace maids are carefully serving their master. There are many flowers, birds and small animals in the huge garden, and there are also rockeries and running water.
Only a wealthy family cannot build such a garden, and if you look down from a bird's eye view, you will find that the scale of this garden is as large as the royal gardens in the capital.
"Your Highness, news from the capital."
"Say."
"Three days ago, Chen Ping entered the palace according to the imperial edict. After that, he went to the Hanlin Academy to observe the government in the morning and arrived at the East Palace in the afternoon. He said that His Majesty asked Chen Ping to teach the prince."
Under the ornately decorated pavilion, a tall man stopped his movements and laughed after a moment.
"Interesting, really interesting. I regret not inviting him here to talk."
"But it's okay, let's see what Chen Ping is capable of. It's rare to see someone who is so valued by the emperor."
After the man murmured, he took a deep breath. The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant around him. There were ice mirrors in the pavilion to keep away the heat. Several palace maids were fanning themselves, but he couldn't feel any warmth at all.
He stood up suddenly, turned around and said, "Is there still no movement in the Cheng family?"
"Back to Your Highness, the Cheng family reported that Chen Ping declined His Highness's kindness and is currently preparing to implement a backup plan."
The man snorted coldly and said dissatisfied: "Things like oxen and horses have become increasingly difficult to use in recent years. Please spread my words to the capital and get rid of the Cheng family before the big event. Don't leave any flaws."
"Yes!"
After doing this, he twisted his neck and walked out of the pavilion with a calm expression.
Under the sun, it is a face that is 70% similar to that of the current Emperor Da Yu. However, compared to the haggard Emperor Tianqi who worked hard on state affairs, this one's complexion is much better, and there is always a fierce look between his eyebrows.
, the facial features also appear sharper, even to the point of being sinister.
This is the younger brother of Emperor Tianqi from the same mother, the great king of Chu in the fiefdom of Jingzhou!
......
The atmosphere in the capital has returned to normal for some time. Except for the news that assassins intended to assassinate His Majesty a few days ago, the people in the capital were terrified.
And a few days after that, Emperor Tianqi held a morning court to release information about his health to the outside world in order to stabilize people's hearts.
Chen Ping didn't know how Emperor Tianqi turned around from being critically ill for a month at the beginning of the year to now. Is it possible that this great emperor really has a magic medicine like Tianshan Snow Lotus that can cure hundreds of poisons?
For this reason, he specifically asked Luo Li, and the answer he received was very straightforward.
"No!"
Chen Ping was even more confused. After all, from March to June, it was not something that ginseng soup could hold up. Could it be that God showed his spirit and didn't want Dayu Dynasty to fall into turmoil?
This is even more unreliable!
"Although there is no such thing as Tianshan Snow Lotus as you mentioned, there are also pills that can prolong life for a period of time."
"There might be one in the emperor's secret palace, and it might be more effective."
Luo Li said this after a long time. Chen Ping nodded when he heard this narration. Well, it seems that the traditional Chinese medicine in Dayu Dynasty is still very good. Of course, it may also be related to Emperor Tianqi's illness.
Today is Xiu Mu again. As a migrant worker who strictly separates his work from get off work, Chen Ping naturally stays at home, reads and exercises, supplements his plans, and looks for loopholes.
There has been no news from Cheng Yuanjian these days, as if he has disappeared from the world.
If he hadn't met Cheng Yuanjian again that day, he might have thought that the other party regretted his previous cooperation.
"Master Chen, this is the record of what my Cheng family has done for them over the years, as well as the deployment of people and horses in various places, trade routes, etc."
"Anyway, this is all the information I can collect. I hope Mr. Chen can use it."
As soon as they met Cheng Yuanjian, he hurriedly handed him a bag of letters without asking Chen Ping anything else.
"Come in and sit down, why are you so flustered?"
Cheng Yuanjian grinned, his face dull.
"The higher-ups may be suspicious of me. They were supposed to clear out my Cheng family before something big happened, but now it seems that it will be earlier."
Chen Ping frowned when he heard this. Is the other side finally going to take action?
"Master Chen can do whatever he wants. I, Cheng Yuanjian, cannot be saved by Master Chen. Besides, you didn't want to protect me from the beginning, right?"
If it were someone else who had Cheng Yuanjian's heart-wrenching question, he might have been embarrassed, but Chen Ping was just slightly surprised, and then looked at him carefully.
"You didn't have to end up like this."
