Once it came to the Luo family, King Zhao seemed to be unable to control his emotions.
In Prince Xuan's Mansion, Prince Xuan was shocked and speechless for a long time when he heard the news.
"Father, let Luo Yuanliang lead the imperial army?"
Doesn't this mean leaving the safety of the palace to Luo Yuanliang?
Moreover, Luo Yuanliang's father, Duke Luo Daohan, still had military power in his hands.
Xiao Zhuyu once wondered if his father had been stimulated by something? Otherwise, how could he make such a decision?
Officials from various ministries in the court and other princes also secretly speculated on the emperor's plans.
Since the death of Hu Hongzhi, many people have coveted the position of commander of the imperial army. No one has thought that in the end, this position will go to the Duke's Palace.
Is it possible that the Duke's government will rise due to this incident, and the Duke will become the second person to dominate the government and the public.
After all, the Duke holds the military power, the eldest son-in-law is the young minister of Dali Temple, and the prospective son-in-law, the Ninth Prince, is a prince, and has the emperor's trust.
The eldest son Luo Yuanliang is now the commander of the imperial army and moves around the imperial court. The second son Luo Yuanjia will take the Spring Examination next year. Once he passes the exam, tsk tsk tsk! The Luo family will be in full swing.
Among the princes, only the wise king Xiao Zhuhan looked indifferent.
"Your Majesty, your father quietly promoted Luo Yuanliang. I'm afraid-"
"Mother, no matter who the emperor promotes, it will be his intention."
The queen's face was as cold as frost.
"I'm afraid this matter is attributable to the Ninth Prince."
"For Luo Jiuli, the Ninth Prince, who has always stayed away from government affairs, actually recommends people to the emperor. Ha! Is this a smile for Bo Hongyan, or is it paving the way for himself?"
"Your Majesty, you must not be careless about the real reason why Luo Yuanliang serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army."
Xiao Zhuhan still looked indifferent.
"I understand that my mother is fine, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he saluted the queen, turned around and left Fengyi Palace.
The queen sat on the couch and couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the figure of her prince who was gradually moving away.
Her prince, since he was born, has always looked like he was not affectionate to anyone, even to her, the queen.
——
The suspicions in the imperial city did not affect the mood of the two people far away in Nanlu Academy.
At that time, Luo Jiuli was standing on the top of the peak, looking at the morning mist like white gauze in front of him, and in the morning mist, the looming white crystal frost flowers hanging on the cedar.
"Rime, you really didn't expect to see rime in this place?"
"Rime?"
This was the first time Xiao Mingxuan heard the word "rime", but he didn't show much surprise. He was already used to the new words Luo Jiuli used from time to time.
Nan Zhu on the side rubbed his red nose.
"Master, this is not called rime, it's called ice flower."
Luo Jiuli turned to look at her, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Binghua is the one who rises to the occasion."
Whether it is rime or ice flowers, in her eyes, they are not as psychedelic and intoxicating as the scenery in front of her.
"Cold?"
Xiao Mingxuan held her tightly in his arms, activating his inner strength to keep her warm.
On the mountain, a figure flew to several people in the wind. It was Mo Han who had not returned last night.
"Master, everything is normal in the academy. Qian Anlu got up early and went to morning classes. During this period, he didn't come into contact with anyone."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at the beautiful scenery ahead, listened to Mo Han's report, and looked down at Luo Jiuli.
"Go back to the academy."
Luo Jiuli nodded, followed him and turned around to walk to the academy.
"Has the prince decided to meet Qian Anlu?"
"Well, I brought a piece of inscription, I think Qian Anlu will be interested in it."
Luo Jiuli smiled and said nothing.
Mo Han watched for a whole night, but found nothing. Could it be that they suspected the wrong person? Or the direction of the investigation was wrong, or Qian Anlu noticed something.
At this time, outside the door of the Academy Chief's room.
A group of teenagers scrambled to peek through the crack in the door. Not far away, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar was walking over holding two books.
"What are you doing?"
The man shouted loudly.
As soon as the teenagers heard the sound behind them, they fell to the ground.
"Qian, Qian Zhixue."
Some teenagers were afraid of being punished by their direct teachers, so they didn't bother to cry out in pain. They got up and rubbed their buttocks, but they didn't dare to run away.
The middle-aged man called Qian Zhixue by the teenagers is exactly the person Xiao Mingxuan and Luo Jiuli are looking for on this trip, Qian Anlu.
Qian Anlu walked up to the group of teenagers and swept his sharp eyes across everyone's faces.
"I don't have time to study, but instead of listening to the wall, I eavesdropped on the wall, and even eavesdropped on the door of the mountain chief's house. It's simply an insult to the gentlemen."
"Penalty! Each of you will be punished to copy the "Etiquette" twenty times and hand it in before school. If you can't finish it, it doesn't matter whether you are a member of the royal family or a child of a wealthy family. All of you will have your parents come to see me."
When the teenagers heard this, their faces dropped.
If you really can't finish it, call your parents. Not to mention being embarrassed in the academy, even in the family, I'm afraid they won't be able to afford it.
A group of teenagers looked at each other, then swarmed around Qian'an Road like swallows emerging from their nests.
"Qian Zhixue, we are just curious about the academic discussion between Chief Shan and Senior Brother Du and Senior Brother Luo."
"Qian Zhixue taught us that we were wrong, and we will correct it in the future."
"Can Qian Zhixue not call me parents?"
"Qian Zhi studied "Etiquette" twenty times. That's too much. Can I do it ten times?"
"Qian Zhixue——"
"Qian Zhixue——"
All of a sudden, all the teenagers in the courtyard were chattering so loudly that everyone had a headache.
In the darkness, Qin Liu and two other secret guards who had been monitoring Qian Anlu were also made to frown by the noise.
Qian Anlu was about to scold these students, but for some reason he suddenly stopped.
At this time, the door of Shanzhang's room was pushed open from the inside.
The mountain chief had a gloomy face and crossed the threshold with his hands behind his back. Behind him, he was followed by Senior Brother Du and Senior Brother Luo, whom the teenagers were talking about.
Surprisingly, it was Du Qilin and Luo Yuanjia.
"stop."
The mountain chief looked serious.
The mountain chief's voice really stopped the teenagers from scolding them, and they all dispersed away from Qian Anlu.
"Everyone, run around the mountain road ten times and come back and copy the "Ritual" twenty times. If you are making random excuses, add ten more times."
The young men lowered their heads, bowed their bodies, and ran away with sad faces.
"The chief of the mountain."
Qian An walked forward and bowed politely.
"Study directly."
Behind him, Du Qilin and Luo Yuanjia also saluted Qian Anlu.
The mountain chief said:
"Qi Lin and Yuan Jia are going to attend the Spring Festival next year. I am discussing with them, do you want to come in?"
Qian Anlu took a step back.
"My lesson plan is not finished yet."
The mountain leader nodded, as if he wanted to ask something else, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking.
"Oh well."
With that said, he turned around and entered the house.
Qian Anlu also turned around and returned to his small courtyard. As soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly covered his chest with his hands.
