Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 366 Accompanied by the Eldest Son of the Emperor

He Liu pretended to be surprised and asked Sangye Danzhu: "Why did the Great Lama Sangye say such a thing?"

Sangji Danzhu said with a smile: "You Han people have a saying that you should not speak dark words in front of the wise. The emperor's health is getting worse every day. I know that you people put all the blame for it on me!"

He Liu smiled meaningfully: "I never said that."

Sangji Danzhu said again: "I have been in the capital for three or four years. I have heard and seen, and I know the enmity between you and Meng Gonggong. I was found by Meng Gonggong to come to the capital. He Liuye naturally regarded me as Meng Gonggong's party." People, if you want to get rid of me, then hurry up. Right?"

He Liu was stunned: Could it be possible that this Sangji Danzhu is really a divine monk with great wisdom?Can you figure out my thoughts?
Sangji Danzhu sighed: "Oh! Did He Liuye ever think that even if I die in Guangxi, Eunuch Meng will still find someone else to refine medicine for the emperor. To tell you the truth, my strong man The body medicine prescription is already a peaceful tonic for the emperor! If someone else comes, the medicine does not matter how serious it is, it will only make the emperor's body weaker!"

He Liudao: "So, the Great Lama has already been merciful when it comes to medication?"

Sangji Danzhu nodded: "The medicine is three-point poisonous. The medicine for strengthening the body is even more poisonous. The emperor insists on taking it every day. What can I do? I can only try my best to use calm and tonic prescriptions to refine the medicine for the emperor. Make medicine for strengthening the body. Also, do you think I would like to stay in a birdcage-like respect room every day? Don’t I want to find a holy place in the snowy area to worship Buddha and practice Zen?”

He Liu sighed: "Well, in this way, the Great Lama Sangji can't help himself."

Sangji Danzhu got up: "Okay! He Liuye, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, please go back. Oh, if He Liuye wants me to have an accident on the way and die unexpectedly. I have nothing to do .”

He Liudao: "Grand Lama Sangji thinks too much. My order is to protect you during the journey. If something happens to you, I will be blamed."

When He Liu returned home, Bai Xiaoyan, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, had already prepared a bunch of things for him to use for a long journey.

Bai Xiaoyan first took out a small brocade box: "This is Heyantang's Jiehui pill. It is specially used to treat the symptoms of severe heat and cold; The poison of miasma; this set of soft body armor, every time you go to a dangerous place, I will let you wear it on your body; this leech mechanism crossbow was sent by Feng Baogang..."

After Bai Xiaoyan finished giving instructions, she picked up a handkerchief and covered her face, crying "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" But how do you live?"

He Liu quickly hugged his lovely wife in his arms: "Look at you. I'm here on business, not to die. These years of swords and fires, what kind of risk have I never taken? What kind of difficulty have I never encountered? When I go back to Guangxi , What we have to deal with is not treacherous officials, Japanese pirates, or barbarians. It's just a few apes. I don't believe that a few animals can be more difficult to deal with than those big villains."

Bai Xiaoyan wiped away her tears and said: "Can't you see that? That person in Yongshou Palace thinks that you are too powerful in Jinyiwei, and wants to kill the donkey and hide the bird! He made a decree in spring, you run away!" I traveled more than 2000 miles to the south of the Yangtze River. I just returned to Beijing, and there was another decree that you have to run another 4000 miles. If that person really wants to support Zhu Xixiao and suppress you, why not hurry up and let you return to your hometown directly? "

He Liu hugged Bai Xiaoyan tightly: "Put on this flying fish suit, I can't help myself. My life is not in my hands, but in his hands. Don't say he asked me to go to Guangxi to help Sangji Danzhu looked for orangutan blood, even if I was asked to pick the moon for nine days, I could only do so. The decree asked me to leave with Sangji Danzhu in ten days. Before I leave, I have to do a big thing."

The big event He Liu mentioned was chosen by Zhu Yijun, the eldest son of the Eastern Palace Emperor, to accompany him to read.

Zhu Yijun is eight years old.According to the old system, two boys of similar age should be selected to enter the palace as companions.Read and play with him every day.

Whoever can be the companion of the eldest son of the emperor is like holding a golden rice bowl that will last for a thousand years and will not rot for ten thousand years.As long as there are no accidents, the eldest son of the emperor will definitely inherit the throne.After succeeding to the throne, thinking of his old love, he must regard his childhood companion as a confidant and entrust him with important responsibilities.

He Liu intends to manage from top to bottom and send his eight-year-old son He Shizhong to the East Palace to be the companion of the eldest son of the emperor.

There are only two places for companion reading.Among the honorable officials in the capital, which one would not want to send their children and grandchildren to the East Palace?At this time, the honored officials can be described as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

To select a companion, the first thing to pass is the hurdle of the Ministry of Rites.This is called the primary election; after the primary election, you have to pass the Guozijian test, which is called the selection; after the selection, you have to pass the final selection of the prince Shaofu Zhang Juzheng.

From primary selection, to selection, to final selection.After the three passes, only two of the thousands of officials and eunuchs who signed up could finally enter the East Palace and be with the eldest son of the emperor.

On this day, He Liu came to the home of Wang Wenya, the director of the Ministry of Rites Association.

Wang Wenya, a small sixth-rank chief, was originally an idle official who no one cared about.Just because the association was in charge of the primary election for the eldest son of the emperor, he became very popular all of a sudden.In the past few days, the courtyard where he lives is full of people, very lively.

He Liu finally got the number and met Wang Wenya.

The sixth master of Jin Yiwei came to visit in person, Wang Wenya naturally treated him like a guest of honor.He cupped his hands and said: "The sixth master is here, and the lower officials are far away to welcome you. Forgive the sin and forgive the sin."

He Liu smiled and said: "Where is it? I like to open the skylight and talk brightly. The adults who came to you today are nothing more than for their own sons and grandsons. I, He Liu, came to see you today for my own sake." son!"

Wang Wenya said: "I have long heard that there is a young son in Liu Ye's family who is talented. Why, does Liu Ye plan to let him participate in the primary election for the eldest son of the emperor?"

He Liu smiled: "If you say something unpleasant, if it wasn't for this matter, I wouldn't have come to you."

Wang Wenya thought to herself: There is a way, it is better to enter the Palace of the King of Hades than to enter the Zhen Fusi.Over the years, there have been countless high-ranking officials who have fallen at the feet of He Liuye, the governor of Beizhen.If I offend him today, he can find any excuse in the future, and he can crush me like an ant.I can't blame this person.Or open a door for him.

Wang Wenya said: "The son of Liu Ye's family is talented and intelligent. I don't know what book you are reading recently?"

He Liudao: "It's nothing more than the Eight Books of Kaimeng. "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Children's Learning Qionglin" and the like."

Wang Wenya hurriedly said: "Oh? I wonder if your young master can memorize Volume [-] "Sui Shi Chapter" of "Children Learning Qiong Lin"?"

Wang Wenya revealed the topic of the primary election to He Liu.

He Liu stood up upon hearing this, cupped his hands and said, "Master Wang, thank you."
