Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Chapter 308 Murder in the East Palace

Latest website: Beijing in November is already covered with frost and snow.

Prince Yu Jianshen woke up early in the morning and stared out the window at the pine branches that had been bent by the heavy snow, his eyes blank.

It was not until dawn that a high-pitched voice sounded behind him: Your Highness, Dr. Fei from the Hanlin Academy has entered the palace.

Prince Yu Jianshen finally came to his senses and looked at the person behind him.

That was his closest eunuch, Xi Huaien. At this time, he was holding his hands, bowing slightly, and standing behind him with a respectful expression: This doctor of the Five Classics, whose surname is Fei Mingyuan, is a newly assigned lecturer from the Hanlin Academy. The servant has invited him to Hanyuan Pavilion.

Yu Jianshen frowned when he heard this: Didn't Gu already have someone tell the Hanlin Academy? Gu has been ill for the past two days, and the lectures in the East Palace have been temporarily suspended.

This is an arrangement arranged by Master Shang of Zuo Chunfang University.

Xi Huaien first glanced around and found that no one else was approaching, then bowed slightly and said: He also asked the slave to tell His Highness that His Highness would inevitably feel a little depressed when he was in this situation. But the more dangerous the situation became, His Highness The more we need to follow the rules, the more we must not let others catch us in the wrong place.

The bachelor thinks that the teaching in the East Palace must never stop! Your Highness needs to show your strength and perseverance to the world, and also let the world know your virtue. Those who can be selected as Hanlin scholars are all great Confucian scholars of the time. Those with outstanding reputations among the Confucian scholars must not be neglected. The bachelor also said that if your highness really can't cheer up, you can read the words he sent to your highness yesterday.

Prince Yu couldn't help but look sideways when he saw Shen Shen, and looked towards the wall. Take a line of large characters with vigorous strokes and silver hooks into your eyes - they insist on not letting go of the green mountains, and their roots are still in the broken rocks. It has endured thousands of blows but is still strong, regardless of the winds from east to west, north and south.

Prince Yu Jianshen's eyes darkened slightly: This poem should have been written by Uncle Jing'an from Nanjing, right?

Exactly! A few months ago during the Battle of the Imperial College in Nanjing, Jing'an Bo Li Xuan recited more than ten poems, mobilizing the power of the Imperial Guards and forcing Li Zhetian to retreat. This poem is one of them.

Xi Huai'en said in a solemn voice: Your Highness, although Jing'an Bo has helped Yu Jianji many times, the intention of his poem is still desirable.

Stop saying this. I have no dissatisfaction with Jing'an Bo. If it weren't for him, Nanjing would be in ruins. Everything this man does is his responsibility.

Prince Yu Jianshen shook his head: I heard that not long ago, the sword demon Li Zhetian died at the hands of Jing'anbo in Longhu Mountain?

There is such a thing.

Xi Huai'en didn't know Yu Jianshen's intention for a moment, whether he asked casually or had other intentions. He could only answer cautiously: This matter has been spread all over the world. It is said that Confucian scholars from all over the country and various sects are celebrating each other. This man is everywhere. The world has been around for decades, and countless heroes of the world have been destroyed, and countless hatreds have been forged.

Especially for the line of Neo-Confucianism, many of the great Neo-Confucian scholars in the world regarded it as a great shame and humiliation. Yu Shaobao, Shang Xianggong and others had also intended to get rid of it. However, this person seemed to be wild and uninhibited in his behavior, but in fact he was cautious and cautious. It is unpredictable, so the Neo-Confucian scholars have been helpless about what to do. Therefore, this Jing'an Bo had a high reputation among the Confucian sect, and he was highly respected by both the Northern and Southern Confucian scholars and the Imperial College.

When he said this, his expression changed slightly: Your Highness, are you worried that Uncle Jing'an will help His Highness King Xi in his capacity as a protector of Neo-Confucianism?

The so-called King Yin is the second prince Yu Jianji.

Ten days ago, Yu Jianji held a memorial ceremony for the Xiaoling Mausoleum. It is said that on the day of the sacrifice, not only were there colorful clouds around Nanjing, but also the auspicious beast Qilin appeared at the southern foot of Purple Mountain. A large number of auspicious signs were also reported in the southern Zhili area. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this and consecrated the second prince Yu Jianji as the King of Yin.

Today's Emperor Jingtai, Yu Qiyu, replaced his brother, the orthodox Emperor Yu Qizhen, and the title he held before succeeding Dabao was the 'King of Yin'.

——The emperor's desire to save money was now clearly revealed.

Xi Huaien thought that with Li Xuan's reputation in the Confucian sect, if he really wanted to help King Xi, it would indeed be a big problem.

In addition, he also knows some special information.

It is said that this Jing'an Bo was also involved with several heavenly officials including Jiang Yunqi and Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi. His background was astonishingly deep.

This one also has an affair with Yu Hongshang, the newly promoted Princess of Changle in the royal family. The relationship between that princess and His Royal Highness is also considered close, but Prince Yu Jianji is Yu Hongshang’s biological brother. .

As the eldest son of the orthodox emperor Yu Qizhen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, after all, separated from Yu Hongshang.

Prince Yu Jianshen shook his head and hurried towards Hanyuan Pavilion: Let's go, don't keep the two teachers waiting.

Hanyuan Pavilion was less than fifty feet away from his dormitory. When Yu Jianshen arrived, Fei Yuan, a doctor of the Five Classics, was sitting in the attic, looking at the scriptures in his hands and sipping tea.

Prince Yu Jianshen hurriedly walked over and bowed respectfully to the Hanlin scholar who was over fifty years old: Student Yu Jianshen is late, please forgive me, teacher.

I see you, Your Highness. Academician Fei also stood up and bowed in return: It's only the end of Chen time, but Your Highness has actually arrived early.

He looked at Yu Jianshen, who was young, handsome, prosperous, and polite, with some admiration in his eyes: Your Highness, please sit down. I will read the Book of Rites. In accordance with the arrangements of the bachelor in charge, today we will Your Highness is talking about an article from the Great Biography.

After Prince Yu Jianshen sat down, he noticed that a cup of tea and refreshments had been placed in front of him.

The tea is his favorite Dahongpao, and the tea is a purple sweet potato cake and mung bean cake, which are the daily style in the palace.

Yu Jianshen then turned his head and looked at Xi Huaien with some displeasure: Why didn't you prepare for the teacher?

When he came in before, he found that the dinner plate in front of Fei Yuan's table was empty.

When Fei Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little shy: His Royal Highness Lao is pregnant, and the reception in the East Palace is extremely thoughtful. But Fei is greedy, and the food prepared on the table has been taken by the subordinates.

After hearing this sentence, Prince Yu Jianshen remembered that today is the 15th day of the lunar month, which is the period of the New Year.

On this day, all civil and military officials in Beijing had to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning and go to the palace to participate in the court meeting that lasted for several hours.

During this period, many people were unable to even take a sip of water, let alone food.

Confucianism and Taoism are different. Most of them specialize in spiritual cultivation and do not pay attention to physical fitness, so it is easier to get started. But correspondingly, most of them are unable to escape before entering the fourth gate.

Dr. Fei must have hurried here after the imperial meeting, and he was very hungry at this time.

When he thought about this, his eyes darkened.

As far as etiquette is concerned, as the prince, Yu Jianshen must attend the ceremony after he reaches adulthood.

But his uncle, Emperor Jingtai, had always prevented him from attending court meetings and meeting officials on the grounds that he was frail and sick and could not bear to be distracted.

Prince Yu Jianshen was secretly sad and depressed, but it didn't show on his face at all. He still looked at Xi Huaien, who immediately understood and arranged for the waiter next to him to deliver another tea.

However, Dr. Fei never used these snacks again. As soon as he started teaching, his temperament became solemn and meticulous.

The Book of Rites* has approximately one thousand words in total and is one of the most important chapters in the Book of Rites.

Yu Jianshen had known it by heart for a long time and had heard it explained several times by great scholars from the Hanlin Academy, but he still listened carefully.

Confucianism pays great attention to subtle words and great meanings. If you just read the scriptures and study them by yourself, you will not learn anything about their classics.

In the past, Yu Zi extracted two chapters, The Doctrine of the Mean and The Great Learning from the Book of Rites, and then annotated them eloquently, making them one of the Four Books.

Later, disciples of Neo-Confucianism elaborated countless principles from the two volumes of The Doctrine of the Mean and The Great Learning.

And this Dr. Fei is obviously a well-informed person. Not only could he understand the meaning of every sentence in the scriptures, but he could also recite and compare them one by one with the commentaries on the Book of Rites written by great scholars of all ages, from Zheng Xuan to Yu Zi.

He talked about the Battle of Makino, why did King Wu Fefeng hold a big sacrifice? What is the purpose of offering sacrifices to heaven? What etiquette was used at that time? Wait, wait, wait, take the trouble.

As a result, it was not until noon that they got to the sentence The sage faced the south to listen to the world, so if there were five people who came first, the people would not follow him. They only finished one-fifth of the whole text, less than 200 words.

That's it for today.

It was only then that Fei Yuan picked up the hot tea that the chamberlain had put on him and took a sip: If your Highness the Crown Prince has any questions, you can ask me.

When Prince Yu saw Shen, he stood up and bowed deeply: Sir, your explanation is very clear. This disciple has no doubts.

That's very good. Fei Yuan couldn't help stroking his beard with satisfaction. He trusted Yu Jianshen's words.

Today he was explaining the scriptures, and Yu Jianshen listened solemnly throughout the whole process without being distracted at all. Occasionally he asked for advice, but he always got to the point.

He thought that his colleagues' evaluation of the prince was really good. He was smart, agile, gentle and pure, and had a gentle nature.

——Then tomorrow morning, I will come and explain the following content to His Highness. There is no court meeting tomorrow, so I will come earlier.

As Fei Yuan spoke, UU read a book www.uukansh. NET stood up, but then he felt a sense of drowsiness in his mind, he couldn't stand still, and heat was flowing out of his five senses.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw Yu Jianshen and Xi Huaien, the chief supervisor of the East Palace in front of him, both showing signs of panic.

Master Fei! Xi Huaien cried out in panic, and instinctively wanted to reach out to help.

But Fei Yuan's vision went dark and he fell directly on the desk in front of him.

At this time, Yu Jianshen glanced at Fei Yuan, who was unconscious on the ground with bleeding from all his orifices, and then looked at the tea cup and snacks in front of him. He was also flustered and confused for a while.

Then Prince Yu Jianshen came to his senses and said with a pale face: Huai En! Send people to the imperial hospital quickly and ask the imperial doctor on duty to come over. Two teams of East Palace guards are dispatched here to seal the scene. No one is allowed to do anything here. Summon all the officials on duty in Zhan Shifu and Chunfang left and right to come here as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Jianshen added: Also, Wei Bailong, the embroiderer from Qianhui outside, please come in too!
