My brother is wicked in the five elements

Chapter 140 The Already Addicted Princess
The news that Tang Guangzong had a serious illness has spread like wildfire. It is said that the old emperor should not be able to bear it anymore, and it is estimated that he will lose his braids soon.

The entire government and the public moved upon hearing the news, and all officials began to stand in line.

The princes and princesses revealed their long-hidden sharp minions, and quickly mobilized their own troops to entrench themselves outside the palace.

Once Tang Guangzong died, they would come out and seize power.

"To be honest, with the current strength of my palace, it is not enough to compete with the emperor's brother." Li Shishi sighed helplessly and said so.

The elder brother Li Shishi mentioned was the eldest prince Li Xian. Behind him was the Prime Minister Jiang Houlu, the Ministry of Punishment Minister, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and a series of bureaucratic support, as well as a powerful army, the Shence Army.

The total strength of the Shence Army is more than 10. At this moment, the elite troops of the Shence Army are waiting outside the Meridian Gate. As long as Li Xian gives an order, they will enter the palace.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the current situation is only temporary, and military strength cannot represent everything." Xu Tianming smiled and comforted him.

"Well, what Master Xu said is true." Li Shishi looked at Xu Tianming and was fascinated all of a sudden, with a hint of affection in his eyes.

In fact, she and Xu Tianming are now in a sexual relationship.

It's just that she knew Xu Tianming was her, but Xu Tianming didn't know that he was dating her.

So this matter made Li Shishi very entangled. She really wanted to tell Xu Tianming that she was the eldest princess, but she was afraid of scaring him away.

And what if he doesn't accept himself?
Then how could she bear it?

Some things, once addicted, are hard to quit.
But every time she heard that the man she was in contact with called other women's names, Li Shishi felt uncomfortable.

'One day in the future, I still have to confess to Mr. Xu.I hope he can accept me like this at that time. Li Shishi sighed helplessly in his heart, thinking so.

Just when Li Shishi was wandering, Xu Tianming noticed her strangeness, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, you seem to be not quite right recently."

is not quite right.

I always like to stare at him, and often watch him lick his lips
'It's strange. '

Xu Tianming felt that these might be the eldest princess's eccentricities, and after getting acquainted with him, she began to show them without any scruples.

I didn't think much about anything else, after all, this was just a 19-year-old pure girl.

Master Li came back to his senses, and immediately looked at Xu Tianming with a slight smile and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about what we should do next? Master Xu, do you have any ideas?"

Xu Tianming asked without hesitation: "Your Highness, is there a way for me to make friends with the heirs of the royal family and important officials of the court?"

In fact, now Xu Tianming concluded that there was a high probability that that person was hiding in the palace.

He can control the governor of Youzhou, which shows that his official position is definitely not low.

The most likely ones are the heirs of the royal family, including the ministers and other important officials.
After pondering for a while, Li Shishi replied: "There is a way. Three days later, a large-scale palace banquet will be held in the palace. The royal heirs and all civil and military officials will participate, and they will naturally invite me. But if Master Xu wants to If you want to participate in this palace banquet, you can enter in the name of a sage under the command of this palace, I wonder what Master Xu would like?"

Xu Tianming understood.

What the eldest princess meant was that if he wanted to attend the royal party, he could do so in the name of the helper the eldest princess had found.After all, low-level officials are not allowed to enter the palace.

But in this way, his monk status will be exposed.
After Xu Tianming thought for a while, he waved his hands calmly and said: "It's okay, let's settle this matter like this. I think the case is about to come to light, and when I find out the truth, I'll go back to the sect and report back. "

Li Shishi lightly nodded his head: "Okay, just follow what Master Xu said."

Three days later.

Linde Hall.

This is the state banquet hall of the Tang Dynasty—mainly used to hold palace banquets, banquets and entertainment, meetings with envoys from various countries, and large-scale religious activities such as debates on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

The civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty sat around the hall, and there were staggered cups and cups of wine during the banquet, and there were endless discussions.

At the end of the polished marble floor, two short tables are placed next to each other. Behind the left-hand table sits the eldest princess Li Shishi. She is wearing a plain skirt, which is much shorter than the palace skirt in terms of length. It only reaches the knees. Xu Tianming Guess this is a special dress for the princess banquet.She wore a hosta hairpin in a bun, and her brows were lightly shadowed, making her look extremely dignified and elegant.

Xu Tianming sat calmly beside the eldest princess, and occasionally picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it down in one gulp.

Wine is wine.

The cup is a luminous cup.

The old emperor was about to burp. This group of people were singing and dancing here, and Xu Tianming felt that they were obviously celebrating.

Celebrate the change of a dynasty
Soon, after drinking for three rounds, an official in scarlet robe stood up and shouted.

"Today, all the civil and military officials of the Great Tang Dynasty gathered here, firstly, to pray for His Majesty, and to wish His Majesty a healthy dragon body. Secondly, to call on everyone to realize the Proverbs together."

'Sense of Proverbs?What kind of event is this? '

Xu Tianming turned sideways and cast a questioning look at Li Shishi.

Li Shishi glanced at Xu Tianming calmly, and explained.

"This is a traditional ceremony of the Tang royal family. The heirs of the royal family took the lead to comprehend a motto. This motto was left to future generations by a powerful Confucian immortal in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and it has always been believed by the world."

Xu Tianming understood: "Oh, that's what it means."

The scarlet-robed official walked to the center of the hall, faced the crowd and continued to speak loudly.

"Today, I, Zhou Yafu, a famous Tang Dynasty master, also came to the banquet to study the Proverbs with everyone!"

After the scarlet-robed official finished speaking, there were surprise voices all around.

"Zhou Yafu? Is it Zhou Daru who broke through the refining realm with a seven-character quatrain?"

"It is rumored that he is rich in education, traveled around the world to preach Confucianism, and was worshiped by emperors of many countries!"

"Unexpectedly, such an expert will come to Chang'an today!"

Amidst the discussions among the crowd, a white-haired old man stood up from a certain position in the west. He was wearing a snow-white Confucian hat and Confucian shirt, and his demeanor was elegant and easy-going.

He bowed slightly to the crowd, and said with a smile: "Everyone is absurd, Zhou's academic attainments are just a drop in the ocean in front of Confucian immortals."

All civil and military officials immediately got up and returned the gift to Master Zhou.

"Meet Zhou Daru."

"The Confucian is humbled."

"We will follow Zhou Daru as an example."

"Zhou Yafu is a rare Confucian genius in the Tang Dynasty. He was inspired by Confucian saints, but it is a pity that he was not admitted to the back mountain of the academy. But this does not prevent him from becoming a famous scholar in the world. He has written countless poems and is widely praised. "Master Li gave a brief introduction.

Xu Tianming nodded after listening.

Confucianism and Taoism are also a way of practice in the world. On the surface, they seem to be gentler and more elegant than cold practitioners, but Xu Tianming realized after meeting his second senior sister Yu Lian that in fact, scholars are often more cruel than practitioners when they become ruthless.
But speaking of it, even a well-educated person like Zhou Yafu was not admitted to the back mountain of the academy, but he, Xu Tianming, was admitted by accident.

After the civil and military officials and the great Confucian exchanged polite greetings, the scarlet-robed official stood up again and shouted to everyone with a loud voice.

"Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Great Prince has performed well in his fiefdom. He is lightly paid and taxed, and is deeply loved by the people. This has a lot to do with a wise man under his command.

This sage once graduated from Yunjin Academy with top grades in six subjects. He is a student of the academy with excellent character and learning! "

Upon hearing that he was a student of Yunjin Academy, all civil and military officials immediately nodded in appreciation.

"Students of the academy, that's really amazing!"

"It's really a boy born from a hero since ancient times!"

"His Royal Highness is really lucky. I think the throne of the Tang Dynasty must belong to him." Several officials whispered like this.

Then, on the Yinlong Terrace on the east side of the main hall, a handsome and gentle young talent stood up. He was wearing a ball head with a blue turban tied on his head. smile.

The young man bowed to everyone and said loudly.

"My name is Wang Lang, and I am a disciple of the first generation of the academy. The eldest prince has the kindness of knowing me, and I will do my best to assist him in fulfilling his long-cherished wish of governing the people."

Wang Lang's voice was full of vigor and youthful self-confidence, which made people sound very comfortable.

Many long-sleeved and good at dancing officials immediately said some flattery about the king, the minister, and the phoenix Chaoyang.

Li You, who was sitting beside Wang Lang, nodded slightly when he heard these words, showing a satisfied expression.

"Hmph, if you want to seize the throne, just say it out loud, and talk about ordering the people." Li Shishi privately showed a contemptuous look to his brother Li You, and then asked Xu Tianming angrily, "He is just a student of the academy. My lord is the master of the Academy, how can he be able to overwhelm him?"

Li Shishi's expectant eyes made Xu Tianming feel that he was deprived of the right to say no.

Xu Tianming played with the empty wine glass, smacked his lips, and replied, "It should be possible."

In the academy's exam, you must get an average grade B in all six subjects in order to become an honorable student in the academy.

And this Wang Lang is obviously a leader in the academy. He graduated from the top six schools, and this can already be written into the history of the academy. He can also be the staff member of the First Prince, which is obviously of a very high level.

Xu Tianming just became an academy teacher by mistake. If he said that he would be able to overwhelm Wang Lang, Xu Tianming didn't have much confidence. After all, he was a person who didn't care about those famous ancient books handed down from generation to generation.
After hearing Xu Tianming's affirmative answer, Li Shishi was immediately full of confidence.

She looked at the small group of people surrounding Li You in the distance, squinted her eyes slightly, and raised her head slightly, with an attitude of condescension to all sentient beings. Xu Tianming looked at her shining crystal earrings, and felt that this woman was probably the one in her heart. There is an aura that will never admit defeat.

The eldest princess is also a heir of the royal family, with strong ruling power and affinity, but she was born as a woman, an old enemy who is equal to the male inheritance of the Tang Dynasty.Almost no one is optimistic about her, except Xu Tianming.

If this woman really wins the throne and succeeds in ascending the throne in Chang'an City, she will be slapped hard in the face of the Tang Empire.

The banquet continued.

After introducing the sages under the First Prince's command, the scarlet robe official then introduced the Second Prince's staff.

It is a tall and burly man, I heard that he is a monk of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, and his cultivation base is probably around the early Yuanying stage
When this monk from the Heavenly Wolf Sect appeared, there were some bad comments from below.

After all, the second prince made the whole Yuzhou restless and complained, which should have a lot to do with this monk of the Heavenly Wolf Sect.

Followed by other princes and princesses' guests, they are all well-known literati and scholars, or masters of Taoism.

When it was the eldest princess's turn, the scarlet-robed official just said "educated casual cultivator" and brushed Xu Tianming away.

There's no other way, Xu Tianming was temporarily added by the Eldest Princess, and he didn't explain his background and identity, that is to say, he is a monk with good strength.
Xu Tianming got up, and the eyes of everyone in the hall fell on him. After all, some people would wonder what kind of young talents the eldest princess invited for the staff, or those who shocked the world, but when they saw the ordinary Xu Tianming After that, they all showed expressions of sneer or disdain.

"I seem to have heard of this person. He is from Qingping County. He was dismissed when he offended the minister of punishment."

"What kind of skills can a person who came out of such a poor country have?"

"The eldest princess actually invited such a native chicken and tile dog. It seems that no one is willing to be a guest under her family. It's ridiculous to want to grab the throne just like this."

The whispers of civil and military officials came over, but Xu Tianming turned a deaf ear to them, sat down calmly, and continued drinking.

He has only one purpose here, and that is to find the incarnation of the demon king.

These people can say whatever they like, so let them be.

However, the eldest princess couldn't sit still.

When she heard those vicious words mocking herself and Xu Tianming, she frowned, with a gloomy expression on her face, and wanted to get up to argue.

Seeing this situation, Xu Tianming at the side hastily reached out his right hand and pressed Li Shishi's left thigh, making him unable to stand up.

"Your Highness, if you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse. Let's not be in a hurry." Xu Tianming persuaded.

Feeling Xu Tianming's broad palm pressing down on his body like a mountain, Li Shishi blushed slightly, and nodded obediently at Xu Tianming.

"Master Xu's words are very true. I am reckless."

After the staff of the royal heirs were grandly introduced, it was time to understand the proverbs.

More than a dozen eunuchs, who were wearing dust at their waists, carried a huge stone slab into Linde Hall.

After the stone slab fell to the ground, everyone looked up.

This is a thick bluestone slab like a book page, with several meaningful characters engraved on the slate, and between the lines, there is a noble and holy atmosphere.

【Preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires】

This short sentence makes people unable to take their eyes off.

In everyone's mind, this sentence seems to be a correct thing, and it should be firmly remembered; it is like the truth of the operation of all things in this world, indelible
For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

Everyone fell into a mysterious illusion of comprehension.

"This proverb is the culmination of Confucianism's lifelong thoughts. The rulers of the Tang Dynasty and all dynasties have collected it as a national treasure. If they can comprehend and master it, they can rule the world!" Master Li learned from the mysterious world. After coming out, he explained the origin of the Confucian classics to Xu Tianming.

Xu Tianming nodded, thinking that it was understandable for the ruler to use it as a tool.

But when he read this sentence, he always felt something was wrong.

After Xu Tianming looked around at the fascinated faces of everyone in the hall, he finally understood what the problem was
a long time.

Everyone broke away from the mysterious realm of comprehension, and praised the stalwart thought of Confucianism and immortality, which is beyond reach in this life.

A group of people started academic exchanges, and the conversation of the academy student Wang Lang attracted everyone's attention, and a group of people surrounded him.

Wang Lang looked confident, and talked eloquently: "The meaning of Confucianism is that there is a set of laws of freedom in this world, and as human beings, every word and deed should echo the order of this world."

"Heavenly principles are the noble virtues of our Son of Man, loyalty, righteousness, reason, filial piety, and faith! Human desires are personal private desires!"

"Preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires, that is, everyone's heart, words and deeds must conform to this law!"

"Loyalty is the law of heaven, disloyalty is the desire of man! Filial piety is the law of heaven, and disobedience is the desire of man! Observing the law is the law of heaven, and recklessness is the desire of man!"

Everyone exclaimed that this son is amazingly talented, his comprehension ability is extraordinary and refined, and his future is limitless.

"This little friend Wang is really talented!"

"I'm ashamed of myself."

"With his help, His Highness the First Prince will surely rule the world!"
