Volume B, Section 47, Four Princes and Eight Dukes
Wang Yongguang is not a young person. Before he became the head of Chongzheng Academy, he was also an old man in politics who had experienced countless positions in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, General Affairs Department, and Ministry of Punishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
So when Prince Yi Zhong's letter appeared in front of him, he subconsciously felt that he had been tricked by Qi Yongtai and the others.
But then he realized that he would not be able to escape even from Qingtan Academy.
Mr. Fangge has no attitude, which is an attitude in itself.
But this attitude is full of uncertainty, and you need to make your own decisions based on the situation.
What does Prince Yohitada want?
This is a question Wang Yongguang has been thinking about.
And what is the attitude and intention of the Supreme Emperor?
Wang Yongguang did not believe that the emperor could not see this, but what kind of reaction would the emperor and even the court make?
I sighed softly, it was really like the tree was trying to be quiet but the wind was not stopping.
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
A man in green robe came in, "Brother Youfu."
"What did Mr. Ge say?" Wang Yongguang asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Ge said that the Emperor was ill, and when Prince Yi Zhong went to pay his respects, he mentioned the matter and expressed his wish to attend the grand event in the literary world of the North..." the man replied after cupping his hands.
"Is it as simple as a grand event in the literary world?" Wang Yongguang said with an angry look on his face, "This is about the two major academies of Northern and Southern Scholars, Qingtan and Chongzheng, plus Baima and Chongwen academies, as well as Tang Binyin, Miao Changqi and Zhu Guozhen.
, maybe there will be some other great scholars coming, what does this mean, doesn’t Mr. Ge know?”
The man in green robe was silent.
Wang Yongguang suppressed the anger in his heart and waved his hand: "What does Prince Yizhong mean?"
"Prince Yi Zhong is not here, and the housekeeper of his house said that Prince Yi Zhong simply admires the sages and this grand event, and hopes to do his best for this grand event. Zhao Yuesong, the young minister of Taichang Temple, also said that this is also a royal tribute.
It is a good thing that the literary circles attach great importance to their activities..."
"Zhao Yuesong?" Wang Yongguang was surprised.
Although Taichang Temple is independent in name, it is actually a sinecure institution under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. The Taichang Temple Shaoqing Yi is not low, but it is a real sinecure. However, Taichang Temple is also in charge of ancestral temple etiquette.
It can also represent something.
This is somewhat intriguing.
"Well, in addition, the Imperial College also believes that the royal family members have come forward, which is also their attitude towards this grand event..."
"Imperial College?" Wang Yongguang was a little hesitant. Why were so many people so interested in this lecture? This made him feel more and more that there was something wrong.
It's just that this matter has reached the point where the arrow has to be fired. At this time, it is impossible to say that Chongzheng Academy will withdraw and let the Qingtan Academy family come in. Even Wang Yongguang intends to compete for the leadership.
"Then have you expressed our attitude to Prince Yi Zhong's palace?" Wang Yongguang thought for a long time before saying.
"The palace stated that Prince Yohitada will not participate in this event. He just wants to express an attitude..." The man in green robe said quickly.
"An attitude?" Wang Yongguang chuckled. This attitude is not simple, but as long as Prince Yi Zhong himself does not participate, it will be much easier to handle and will not send too strong a signal to the outside world.
"Okay, I get it. You have to be careful about this matter. I guess there will be some changes at Qingtan Academy." Wang Yongguang thought for a while, "You ordered all Chongzheng Academy students to abide by the academy's regulations.
The moral code requires that no unauthorized actions or false statements are allowed.”

"My lord, what do you mean?" Shui Rong looked at Chu Qi who was visiting late at night in surprise. He quickly ordered his servants to lock the door, and then he and Chu Qi went to his secret room.
"My lord, I think it's not possible to continue like this." Chu Qi also sighed, and raised his head after sitting down, with a bit of desolation in his tone, "He was worried that the emperor would remain silent like this, and he was afraid that if the emperor's side took a long time, he might...
…”
Shui Xiu's complexion changed slightly, "Then what does the Supreme Emperor mean?"
"The Emperor has been in a state of moodiness and anger for a while, and the prince did not dare to disturb him." Chu Qi rubbed his chin, "But the prince thinks that there is an opportunity now, and he may be able to get a glimpse of the Emperor's thoughts."
"Oh? What chance?"
Shui Rong was dressed in a snow-white Confucian robe and a white fox fur. A smile appeared on the left cheek of his slightly thin face. The lively aura between his brows and his figure with a wasp waist and ape arms made him really handsome and suave, even Chu Qi wanted it.
Admittedly, among the four kings, it is not without reason that King Beijing is the most favored by the Supreme Emperor.
"Prince Shui should know that Qingtan Academy and Chongzheng Academy have jointly organized lectures for Mu Xixi and Zhu Pinghan, right?"
"Well, this matter has become a hot topic in the capital city. Of course Xiao Wang knows about it." Shui Rong nodded.
"This matter is a major event in the literary world of Shilin in the Great Zhou Dynasty in recent years. The Emperor and the Emperor are very concerned about it, and it is related to the trend of Shilin. The prince feels that if he can win a good reputation in Shilin, he may be able to..." Chu Qi wanted to
He stopped talking.
The water-soluble eyebrows were raised and then restrained, and there was a look of thought between the brows, "Does the prince want to take this opportunity to test the emperor's mind?"
"Not only that, the Emperor's will is one level, but there is another level. If such a scholarly event can gain a good reputation..." Chu Qi's tone became colder.
"Everyone among the scholars knows that the emperor does not like the poetry and poetry of the classics, and the emperor is the one who likes the poetry and poetry of the classics the most. I am afraid no one thought that the emperor would take this position. Last autumn and this spring
The change in the direction of the test questions has caused many scholars to complain and complain. If this time..."
Shui Rong frowned and said nothing. He had to say that this was a good move, a very clever move.
Although Prince Yitada was not very highly accomplished in terms of literary talent, he had always been courteous to virtuous corporals and had always been friendly to the scholars. Compared with the current emperor, he was obviously more supported by scholars, especially those in the south. If this
A reputation in the minds of northern scholars is indeed of great benefit.
What Chu Qi said in his words was not only the emperor's wishes, but also the wishes of the scholars and even the civil servants in the court.
Prince Yitada is going to follow the old path of the Supreme Emperor.
At that time, the Supreme Emperor and Old Fu Wang competed for the throne. To some extent, it was due to the Supreme Emperor's literary talent and grace that he won the favor of the then Chief Assistant. He was then highly recommended by Emperor Tianping, and with the support of the martial arts veterans, they were finally defeated.
The victory of King Lao Fu established the great cause of Emperor Yuan Xi's forty-one-year reign in one fell swoop.
"Well, the prince can think of this, it is really extraordinary." Shui Rong nodded slightly, which was considered to be acknowledgment of this.
The current Great Zhou Dynasty is different from the Great Zhou Dynasty more than 40 years ago. At that time, Wu Xun still played a decisive role and could influence the situation. However, now the power of the civil servants has greatly increased and they have controlled all aspects of the DPRK. Therefore, they won the title of Scholars.
Even the goodwill of the civil servants is of great significance.
Chu Qi also became energetic.
Among the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes, although King Beijing is the youngest, he is the one whom Chu Qi values the most.
This son was not only thoughtful and thoughtful, but also had an extremely broad vision. What was more, he was deeply loved by the Supreme Emperor. In the early years, there were even rumors that he was of the Supreme Emperor's blood. He was also very popular among the four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes.
If you get this person's support, then the prince's plan can really make a difference.
"Then what does the prince want Xiao Wang to do?"
Shui Rong raised his eyes.
"Mr. Huo Lin and Lord Shui were in the same division back then and were brothers and sisters. Mr. Huo Lin's favorite student, Han Jing, Han Jian and Han Jian were the chief disciples of Qingtan Academy and the best candidates for the Chunwei Sandingjia. After hearing that this time Huo Lin
Mr. Lin will also come to the grand meeting to give lectures and discussions with Mr. Xixi and Mr. Pinghan. The prince’s intention is that if Lord Shui can contact Mr. Huo Lin, please Mr. Huo Lin..."
Mr. Huolin and Tang Binyin originally had this idea.
Shui Rong took a deep breath, stood up, and walked around, "Mr. Chu, senior guest guest does have a good relationship with Xiao Wang, but it is just a friendship between classmates. If we want him to participate..."
"No, no, Prince Shui misunderstood. How could Chu make such a ridiculous request?" Chu Qi quickly explained: "Chu meant to ask Prince Shui and Mr. Huo Lin to mention that the prince intends to come to the event, but
I am just observing as an ordinary person. If I can comment and introduce it at the right time, the prince can have this opportunity..."
Shui Rong knew that since Chu Qi came this time and made such a request clearly, Prince Yi Zhong must have been well prepared. If he refused again, he would probably make Prince Yi Zhong suspicious.
"Then, has the prince prepared everything properly? If it is at a grand event, there must be articles and opinions that can be presented, otherwise Senior Brother Tang will not be able to comment at will."
Shui Xiong still couldn't help but tell him one more time, "We must do everything perfectly."
"Don't worry, Lord Shui, the prince has specially asked people to prepare in advance this time, and it will not be difficult for Mr. Huo Lin." Chu Qi finally felt relieved, and her face looked much better.
"Well, Mr. Chu, I'm afraid that the journey ahead will be difficult." Shui Rong sighed softly, sat down again, and gently rubbed his fingers on the black-glazed rabbit hair cup, "The ambition of a scholar is not
He is so easy to win over, and the current emperor’s performance in the past two years has not been immoral. Although the civil servants in the court have a general impression of him, they have no objection. If this continues, the Supreme Emperor may have something in his mind..."
Chu Qi also had a bitter look on his face, who said otherwise? But now everyone is riding a tiger. These four bastards can still rely on the protection of the Supreme Emperor's wings and feel that they are safe, but they cannot see that once the Supreme Emperor becomes popular,
, will the current emperor still treat you martial artists so kindly?
This group of guys needs to be reminded of this. Of course, Chu Qi also knows that it is not his responsibility to mention this, but that the prince needs to wake up these guys at the right opportunity. Don't expect to be just a wall, who will get up and who will get down.
None of their good fruits will be eaten.
However, Shui Rong's mind shouldn't be so shallow that he needs to find an opportunity to explore it.
