It was not that Xuan Chengzi didn't have his own considerations. He considered many disputes in the court and finally decided to accept Ye An as his disciple. Firstly, Ye An had a special status, and he still couldn't verify where he came from. Secondly, he was from Jing.
I really saw the attitude of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother certainly did not want a strong prime minister to appear when she was assisting the emperor in his growth.
Kou Zhun was known for his strength. Back then he dared to force Emperor Zhenzong to go to the battlefield. Now the young master is suspicious. If Kou Zhun becomes prime minister again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After all, he is on the side of the Queen Mother. Although the news brought back by Jingzhen is important, it cannot change his decision and judgment. The emperor is too young now, and everyone hopes that the court can be more stable at this time.
, wait until the emperor grows up and then discuss other matters.
Having a strong mother and young son is a very sensitive matter, but as far as Xuan Chengzi knew, the Queen Mother was not a woman like "Lu Wu". She just wanted to protect the official family when he grew up and protect him to successfully take over the throne of the Song Dynasty.
power.
What kind of woman was Queen Mother Liu E? Xuan Chengzi knew very well that she was not as arbitrary as the court or people rumored. It was related to the fate of the country of the Song Dynasty, and a woman's family had to be cautious...
In Xuan Chengzi's view, the most important thing to ensure at this time was the authority of the Queen Mother. Other than that, everything else was false, even if Kou Zhun was sacrificed.
Kou Zhun had been kind to him, and of course he had given him support. What happened back then had taken root in Xuan Chengzi's heart. He knew that he was wrong and shouldn't have done those things, but after all, it was a wrong thing and he couldn't change it.
With a slight self-deprecating smile, Xuan Chengzi stretched out his hand to cut off the incense stick, stood up and looked at the people in the clean room and said: "This matter has been settled like this. I don't want you brothers to hesitate anymore!"
Even though she objected in her heart, Jingzhen could only nod along with everyone and said, "Respect the master's decree!"
Walking out of the clean room, Jingzhen stepped forward and said: "Master, is there really no room for negotiation on this matter? After all, Xianggong Kou back then... If I had waited to help now, it would have been much more useful than adding icing on the cake!"
"Don't say it again. This matter seems to be a dispute in the court, but it is a major matter of the country. I would like to ask you: Should I respect the Queen Mother or Mr. Kou!?"
Jingzhen was stunned for a moment and then said: "Of course, the Queen Mother is the most respected! Master, what you mean is that we should help the Queen Mother now?"
Xuanchengzi glanced sideways at Jingzhen and sighed: "You'd better not get involved in these things. If you want to be an official, just work hard in the Department of Sacrifice. If not, just leave with your seal. Laojun watched
There is a place for you after all.”
"Master, why is this?"
Jingzhen was shocked and felt that the master in front of her had become a little strange.
Xuan Chengzi sighed helplessly, but the surprised Jingzhen could only explain again: "You are not suitable to hang out in the court. Your body and mind are too upright but you don't care much. Even if you have been scheming, you have left too many traces;
As time goes by, everyone in the court will think that you are a villain! They will also think that everyone in our eyes is also a villain... This matter cannot be done!"
"Then what should disciples do?"
Just as Xuan Chengzi was about to speak, he saw Ye An squatting on the ground with Jingwu playing something in the distance. He pointed at him and said, "Ask your junior brother! He may be able to answer your questions." After saying that,
Then he walked straight away.
"Junior brother?"
Jingzhen glanced at Ye An strangely, then shook her head and smiled to herself: "What can you tell me about the little kid with a yellow mouth!"
Although Jingzhen is upright, she also has her own arrogance, which is a kind of dignity that she has earned through hard work in the officialdom.
How could an unknown child show him the way?
Although he was dissatisfied, Jingzhen still walked forward. He was attracted by Jingwu's laughter. This silly boy's silly laughter always made people happy.
When I walked in, I saw two people squatting together. On the ground was a square drawn with stones. One side was missing and replaced with a circle, and the diagonal corners were connected by straight lines.
Two pebbles were moving within this small space. When the pebbles in Jingwu's hands had nowhere to go, Ye An laughed loudly and said, "You lost! You want to treat me to chicken!"
Jingwu helplessly took out an egg from his arms and handed it to Ye An. He looked up and saw Jingzhen and said unconvinced: "Then continue! Senior brother, help me!"
Xuan Chengzi had been watching for a long time, and Jingzhen also squatted down. In his opinion, this should be very simple. He only needed to use his own chess pieces to put his opponent into a desperate situation and jump into the circle.
But Jingwu was instructed to play two games, but both ended in Ye An's victory. Looking at the stones in the circle, Jingzhen was a little confused, could this small chess game be more difficult than Go?
Then he personally went out and had a "fierce battle" with Ye An, but he was still defeated by Ye An in two cities. However, there were already five or six chickens in front of Ye An. Jingwu beside him shouted distressedly: "Senior brother is not as good as me!
"
Jingzhen stared at the simple chessboard on the ground and finally realized that it was not simple. Although there were only four chess pieces and five points, and could only be moved once, this chess game was a test of concentration. If you were not careful, you would have to surrender.
Xuan Chengzi looked at Ye An and said: "A small chess game, within an inch, contains great wisdom! By the way, what is this chess game called?"
From getting up to going up the mountain, Ye An was really starving. He peeled off the egg, took a big bite, and said without raising his head: "Jump into the latrine!"
……………………
In addition to the watch, Ye An also has a few things on his body, but they are mainly for self-defense or first aid. He has been hungry before and the only thing he can't stand is the feeling of hunger. His stomach is empty and he keeps feeling "empty".
Grinding", that feeling seems to torture people crazy.
The shadow left by that year gave him a different kind of respect and love for food...
Ye An's eating of several eggs made people sigh. Seeing him eating, Xuan Chengzi began to wonder, how could this kid eat a chicken with such caution and piety?
He ate everything from the egg white to the yolk with gusto. Xuan Chengzi even wondered: "Is it possible that this kid can't have a good meal there? He shouldn't!"
……………………
The whole fasting room was quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was Ye An's whimpering. The white rice made from polished rice was served with some cooked vegetables and pickles. Jingwu was unwilling to use his chopsticks, but Ye An was eating it.
Call me happy.
A plate of bacon was pushed over by Jingzhen: "Gudong... Junior brother, eat slowly, there is still some bacon..." Looking at Ye An's meal, it tasted particularly delicious for some reason.
Ye An ate the rice in his mouth and quickly crossed his hands to Jingzhen: "Thank you, senior brother!"
Jingwu asked quietly from the side: "Junior brother, is this food delicious?"
Ye An muttered without raising his head: "It tastes terrible! Even the ones I make with my feet are much better than this!"
"Then you still eat so deliciously?!"
Ye An scooped the last grain of rice into his mouth and raised his head and said, "My parents always say: A porridge and a meal, when you think about the place where you came from, it is not easy; half a thread, half a thread, always think about the material resources."
Xuan Chengzi looked at Ye An in surprise and kept repeating what he just said: "One porridge and one meal, when the thoughts come from a difficult place; half a thread, half a thread, constant thoughts and material resources are difficult..." Although the words are simple, they are
It contains the great truth! No one but a great sage can say this! Who are your elders?"
