Vol 3 Chapter 18: play by order
Duanmu Qingchen stood in the upper study room in a daze, staring blankly for a moment with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, then suddenly came back to his senses, and clapped his hands happily: "Ming RuiI'm cominghahaha—" He jumped happily He went out, his figure was as flirtatious as a flying butterfly, and his expression was more like a butterfly picking flowers for orders.
To understand human nature, Fu Mingrui's Eight Doors is undoubtedly the best place to go!
The cycle of cause and effect, good and evil are rewarded, and all kinds of human nature are fully displayed. There are inexhaustible materials for him.
Duanmu Qingchen was full of joy. This time, he was ordered by the Grand Tutor to go out of the palace to investigate human nature. Maybe he can get another good story and write it in his "Strange Records of Qianchao".
kindness! He had to think of a pseudonym, like Mr. Liaozhai or something.
In the imperial study room, Emperor Cheng was reviewing memorials privately. He is a hard-working emperor, and he has the leisurely life of those few princes.
The Taifu came in slowly to report the study status of the princes, which was something that Emperor Cheng would care about every day.
Because Lin Jingzhi came here on time every day, the **** at the door no longer had to drag his neck to report.
It's almost time, and Emperor Cheng will put down the vermilion pen, raise his face and look out the window, look at the sky, listen to the birdsong, rest for a while, and drink ginseng tea, so as not to be caught by his grandson again while listening to Taifu Lin Xiang's report. The prince who loves leisure and hates work is so angry that his heart hurts.
Taifu Lin Xiang picked up his robe and entered.
Emperor Cheng turned his face back and looked at him seriously: "Is the prince messing around today?" Emperor Cheng only asked the prince because he knew in his heart that other princes would never act like monsters in Taifu Lin Xiang's class.
Lin Xiang held the book in his hand, and the prince's novels were included in it. He bowed to Emperor Cheng, and he was very serious: "Your Majesty, although the prince is stubborn by nature, he is extremely intelligent. Sometimes what the prince says will make the old minister think deeply."
Emperor Cheng frowned, his son knew it, and he was slightly sullen amidst his disgust: "What did he say today?" He didn't believe that even his glib son would say something thought-provoking.
Lin Xiang lightly stroked his white beard: "The prince said that governing the country is based on the people, which is the principle in the book. However, with many changes in the outside world, the people are also changing day by day. The people of yesterday are the people of yesterday, and the people of today are for today. What do the people of today think? What do they think? I don’t know how to govern the country based on the people?”
Duanmu Qingchen's plain words, embellished on Lin Xiang's side, really have a deep meaning.
Emperor Cheng was slightly surprised, did his son say this? No matter how I think about it, I don't think it's something his son can say.
Lin Xiang bowed again: "So I gave the prince a practical question."
"What question?" Emperor Cheng never interfered with Lin Xiang's teaching in the upper study.
Lin Xiang was serious and solemn: "The old minister also believes that theory is not as good as practice, and only theory is just talking on paper. The prince is very curious about people, so the old minister ordered him to write an article "On Human Nature" in three days, so that the prince can observe people's hearts and human nature carefully. .”
Emperor Cheng was a little surprised by Lin Xiang's words, and when he came back to his senses, he was stunned: "Didn't you let him go outside the palace to fool around for three days?!"
On the contrary, Lin smiled and stroked his beard calmly: "The old minister believes that the prince will definitely get something in these three days."
Emperor Cheng gasped and frowned, the crown prince was playful, and he was afraid that he would go out to misbehave, so he ordered people to watch out. Never thought that Lin Xiang would allow the prince to go out to play.
But he had a gentleman's agreement with Lin Xiang not to interfere with his teaching methods. In the past three days, he should be in trouble in the dormitory.
Suddenly, a big round face poked out from the screen behind his dragon chair.
"Emperor... Your Majesty..." The gloomy voice came with the wind, making Emperor Cheng's neck feel cold. He turned around and was startled: "Yao, Yao Guang! Why are you here!" It really makes Emperor Cheng have a good temper, yes Ren Jun, otherwise Yao Guang would be so bold that beheading his head a few times would not be enough.
Yao Guang grinned and raised his eyebrows and smiled obscenely: "It's me Is the emperor surprised?"
Emperor Cheng's face sank immediately, what was the surprise? Yao Guang, do you want to die, you fat pig? !
Yao Guang turned his face to look in the imperial study room, pleasantly surprised: "Yo! Lin Xiang is also here!"
Seeing Yao Guang being so sneaky, Lin Xiang knew it in his heart, and saluted Emperor Cheng: "Resign, old minister." Lin Xiangzhi left.
Emperor Cheng immediately stood up, walked around the screen, and found that there was no way out, and behind the screen, there was only the door of the toilet in the imperial study room. Where did Yao Guang get out of? !
Moreover, with Fatty Yao's figure, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it!
"Yao Guang! Where did you come from!" After all, Emperor Cheng is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Gate, so Emperor Cheng still knows something about the Ninth Gate. Although Yao Guang didn't need to report everything in detail, in general, Emperor Cheng knew it well.
Yao Guang stood behind the screen and raised his eyebrows at Emperor Cheng: "Your Majesty, make an appointment."
Emperor Cheng's majestic face sank. He has long been "dissatisfied" with Yao Guang. In the case of Ma Guanqun, in the prince's report to him, he heard about a newcomer: Lian Youyou.
Although Yao Guang took care of the Nine Gates daily, Yao Guang didn't report when there was a newcomer, which made Emperor Cheng unhappy.
Emperor Cheng was upset, so he showed Yao Guang a look on his face: "Have you finally remembered that I am the Lord of the Nine Gates?!"
Yao Guang's small eyes had already seen through everything, and a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, it's not that things were crowded together a while ago, and I had a competition with Prime Minister Zuo, so I didn't have time to report. Today I finally have time That's right, I'm going to jump over the wall to report to the emperor without stopping! Look at my body shape, how tiring it is to climb over the wall!"
Emperor Cheng lowered his face, looked at Yao Guang's aggrieved fat face for a while, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. Fatty Yao, who has a sense of joy, is really a happy medicine in his life.
Emperor Cheng looked at Fatty Yao angrily, and said, "Let's start with that Lian Youyou first."
Yao Guang saluted immediately: "Yes..."
The palace gate opened, and Duanmu Qingchen galloped out in casual clothes. If he could leave the palace, he didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, so why don't he ride a horse to find his good friend Fu Mingrui? This is indeed a good friend. I haven't seen him for a few days, and Duanmu Qingchen misses him very much. I don't know what difficult and strange case Fu Mingrui is working on today.
Duanmu Qingchen was already excited when he thought of the love murder, murder, and secret room murder cases. Second, thinking about the ninth door next door to the eight doors, he was even more excited!
He rode his horse all the way to the eighth gate, just as he saw Fu Mingrui coming out of it, he wanted to get on his horse too.
"Mingrui—Mingrui—" he shouted from afar.
Fu Mingrui turned his head to look, his beautiful eyes had widened! Coincidentally, he was about to go out to investigate the case, and this prince came!
Zhao Cheng, who was leading the horse for Fu Mingrui, saw that it was the prince, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
Duanmu Qingchen sat on the horse and asked Zhao Cheng and the others to get up immediately: "Get up." He said, looking around furtively, and then leaned over to Zhao Cheng and the others who were facing each other and whispered, "From now on, when you see the prince, you don't need to kneel, keep a low profile, keep a low profile Do you understand?"
Everyone in Zhao Cheng immediately bowed their heads and stood beside them respectfully.
