Kyoto is the capital of Jingguo, the most prosperous and prosperous place in Jingguo, and it is also the sacred place in the hearts of Jingguo literati.
There are many wealthy families and great Confucian scholars here, which attract countless Jingguo students. Compared with places outside of Gyeonggi, there are undoubtedly more opportunities here.
In Kyoto, somewhere in the private garden of a famous Confucianist.
Dozens of young officials were scattered all over the garden, in small groups, laughing and chatting with each other.
Somewhere, a young man in Tsing Yi frowned, and said: "No matter how you look at it, Master Li doesn't look like a traitor. Counting it carefully, how many things he has done for Jingguo in the past few years, even if it is you and me, I also benefited a lot from it, how did I become a traitor?"
"He tried his best to prevent His Majesty the King of Shu from entering Beijing many times, and prevented His Majesty from taking the position of the East Palace. He must have some kind of wolf ambition..." A person beside him flashed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "You don't even have Master Taifu and several great scholars? Can't you believe it?"
When the young official heard the words, a look of hesitation soon appeared on his face.
In other places in the garden, everyone's conversations were also limited to the Qing emperor's side that was making a lot of noise today.
"When it comes to the position of the crown prince, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the orthodox one, in line with the ancestral system, and also in line with the principles of ethics..."
"Although the eldest princess's talent is not inferior to that of a man, she is still a woman. If this continues, there is no way."
"He thinks that with the help of His Majesty's Long En, he can intervene in the establishment of the crown prince. What is it if he is not a traitor?"
"This kind of courtier usually has no good end..."
…
In a certain pavilion in the garden, two old men sat facing each other and were playing chess.
After the old man with Baizi dropped his son, he said, "Brother Chu has always ignored these court affairs, why is he so radical this time, strange, strange..."
The old man holding the black piece picked up a chess piece, thought for a moment before dropping it, and said, "Not to mention that brother Chu is a little strange, but the position of the East Palace should not continue to be vacant. The eldest son of the emperor enters the East Palace. It's the right way, how can a woman control the affairs of the government for so long... "
Snapped!
The old man holding the white piece suddenly dropped the piece, and said angrily: "The woman acting as the government..., Your Majesty's move is really stupid, the Women's Federation, the Women's College, look at what she has done, it is all messy things …”
"I visited an old friend a few days ago. The old friend's granddaughter actually told the old man that the master of the women's college told them that parents with single eyelids cannot have children with double eyelids. Eyelids, His Royal Highness the old man has seen it with his own eyes, it is clearly double eyelids... "
He said angrily: "When the old man finishes this section, he must hand in a memorial, and take a good look at this women's college!"
"Let's do the thing right now." The old man on the opposite side didn't pay much attention to what he said, and after dropping another black spot, he said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you lost."
…
"Although the Zeng family's house is big, it's not a solution if you always live here." Li Yi looked at Zui Mo on the opposite side and asked, "Why don't you just move there? When do you want to live here? Two days is fine."
She shook her head and said, "I will not abandon Sister Ruoqing."
Li Yi comforted: "Who said you should separate, when the time comes, Ruoqing will move there together, and you can still live together."
"What is that? You agree, but Sister Ruoqing still doesn't agree." She turned her head, looked at Wan Ruoqing and said, "You mean it, Sister Ruoqing?"
Wan Ruoqing just smiled and didn't answer.
Li Yi looked at her and said, "Okay, but the old lady has been talking about you for a long time, pick a time, and I'll take you to meet her old man."
"Ah, the old lady of the Li family?" Her expression immediately became a little flustered.
Li Yi nodded and said, "If you don't go, I will have to bring the old lady to see you."
"This matter..." She stood up, the panic and nervousness on her face became even worse, and she faltered: "I, I, I haven't brushed my teeth today..."
Seeing her running into the house in a panic, Li Yi could only shake his head. He understood her concerns. Naturally, it's not easy to force her to do this kind of thing.
After she left, the smile on Wan Ruoqing's face gradually faded away, she looked at him worriedly, and said, "I've heard all the rumors outside, Madam Chen also asked me to bring you a message, don't talk to those people Has the matter really reached such a serious point when people are confronted head-on?"
"Don't worry, a little trouble will be resolved soon." Li Yi stood up, looked at the closed door, estimated that Zui Mo would take a long time to brush his teeth this time, and greeted Xiao Cui, He looked at Wan Ruoqing and said, "Let's go for a walk."
It was the beginning of May, and the weather was not so hot. After leaving the Zeng Mansion, Wan Ruoqing comforted him and said, "Zuimo must be a little worried in her heart. I have been persuading her these days, and I want to spend some time with her. After I figure it out, I will agree to move there."
Li Yi turned his head, looked at her, and asked, "What about you?"
"Me?" Wan Ruoqing was startled, and said, "After all, I've lived in Yangliu Lane for a long time, and I'm still used to Yangliu Lane. I'll probably move back there again. The house is too big, and there are only a few people living there. It's always a bit deserted."
"It won't be deserted if there are too many people." When he walked to the gate of Goulan, Li Yi smiled and said, "You go in first, I have something to do in a while... Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Wan Ruoqing looked at him and asked, "Are you coming over later?"
"Look..." Li Yi originally wanted to say to see the situation, but when he saw her looking over, he swallowed the words that reached his throat, nodded and said, "Come here."
On the street, the slovenly old man limped behind him, and the speed was not slow. He shook his head and said, "When you were young, you did what you thought in your heart. I would rather regret it now than grow old." Come lament..."
Li Yi looked at his legs and said, "I go to look for my second uncle every day, but I can't beat him. Why are you bothering?"
"What do young people know?" The sloppy old man curled his lips in disdain, and said, "If this old man meets that nun again now, I can give her a hand..."
Li Yi stopped after hearing the grand master's bragging, because the Chu family had arrived.
The concierge of the Chu family was very educated. When he saw this young man and the old man with handicapped legs, he asked them very politely if they had any invitations. Mr. Fu is meeting some old friends today, but there are no outsiders. If there is no invitation card, please come back another day.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Please inform me that the courtier is here to visit the Grand Tutor. If the Grand Tutor really doesn't see you, it's not too late for us to leave."
The concierge saw the young man in front of him with extraordinary appearance, and the old man behind him, although his legs and feet were not flexible, but his eyes were scary, and he couldn't figure out their identities, so he said: "Wait a minute, I will report, but, Taifu It’s not certain whether the adults will see you or not.”
"Ning Chen..." He murmured the name and ran in quickly.
Somewhere in the capital, two figures came out of the fence, listening to the gossip of the people around, the middle-aged man turned his head and asked the man beside him: "Some people in Kyoto say that Mr. Li is a pillar of the imperial court, and some people say that he is a traitor. Wu Er, what do you think?"
"I don't know, I don't know that Lord Li very well." The man beside him shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "However, I still feel that Lord Li was wronged."
The middle-aged man looked at the crowd and murmured: "Since you have been wronged, why don't you respond to these rumors in the capital and the fights in the court?"
Wu Er sighed and said, "Who knows..."
"Don't worry." The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Li is a generation of outstanding people. These clowns can't last long in front of him. We have to trust him..."
