Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Xu Guanchen had nothing to do, so he found something to do in the palace.

Of course, he wasn't the living man who followed Xiao Zhi all day long with a small notebook. He was helping to copy books in Lantai.

The Lantai in the palace is the place where books are collected.

A few days ago, the collection of books at He Jijiu Mansion was burned down by a fire, and the librarians suddenly raised the alarm.After the beginning of spring, I began to sort out the books in Lantai, copying important books and putting them in another place for storage.

Xu Guanchen wandered to Lantai one day, and was dragged by a small copyist who had a stomach ache to replace him. He copied books for him for a while, and then came to order every day.

In the early morning of the seventh day, he copied the book for a while, and suddenly felt a headache again, so he squatted on the desk for a while.

Everyone in the hall was busy copying books, and his desk was in a corner, so no one noticed him.

Then someone knocked on his desk and woke him up.

"I'm sorry, I'm copying now..." Xu Guanchen quickly dipped his pen and ink, but when he took a closer look, why did everyone in the hall kneel down?

He turned his head, but saw Xiao Zhi standing beside him bent over.It turned out that he knocked on the table.

No wonder.

Xu Guanchen asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhi frowned: "I went to see your master for pulse today, don't you remember?"

Xu Guanchen was very honest: "I don't remember."

He has become more and more confused recently, Xiao Zhi rubbed his head: "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Xu Guanchen got up and followed him out.

The two of them walked side by side on the palace road, with red walls and glazed tiles, solemn and luxurious.

Xu Guanchen rubbed the center of his brows, and unconsciously fell behind Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi looked back at him and saw that he was wobbling. He was afraid that he was about to fall down, and his complexion was not good-looking, so he quickly stepped forward and picked him up.

Xu Guanchen was startled, gave him a light thump, and said softly: "The people behind saw it."

"No." Xiao Zhi turned his head again, his eyes swept over the people following behind him, and everyone lowered their heads and lowered their eyes even more, pretending to be invisible.

The carriage was originally parked outside the triple palace gate, but now it parked directly at the other end of the palace road.

Xiao Zhi hugged him and walked through the long palace road, and suddenly asked: "You said you remembered the three years from the back, did you think of this?"

Xu Guanchen was puzzled: "What?"

"Have you thought about this?" Xiao Zhi asked again, "I carried you into the palace three years ago."

Xu Guanchen thought about it seriously: "Not yet."

He landed in front of the carriage, lifted the hem of his clothes, and got into the carriage.

After sitting firmly, he opened the curtain of the window to look at Xiao Zhi, only to see Mr. Cheng trotting forward from a distance, and handed Xiao Zhi a brochure with both hands: "Your Majesty, stop the cloud and calm down."

Xiao Zhi paused, took the notebook and glanced at it twice.

Xu Guanchen saw that his expression was not right, so he tentatively said: "If you have something to do, I'll go back alone? Just let the master diagnose the pulse, and it will be soon."

Xiao Zhi turned to look at him, saw that he was persistent, and finally agreed, pointing to Eunuch Xiao Cheng to accompany him for a walk.

Xu Guanchen put his hands on the window and waved to him: "Go quickly."

Xiao Zhi nodded, straightened his clothes, took a step, and walked in the opposite direction to the carriage.

The palace road was long and wide, and when the wind blew, Xiao Zhi turned his head slightly as he walked forward, and ordered the servant behind him to do something.

Xu Guanchen didn't put down the curtain until he couldn't see his back.

Eunuch Xiaocheng rode with him, seeing his appearance, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty and His Majesty are so good, why did you always quarrel in the past?"

Xu Guanchen sighed lightly: "We always get together less often with him, I didn't feel that much before."

After a while of silence, the carriage stopped, it was time to leave the palace gate, and the guards guarding the gate were conducting routine checks.

Thinking about the notebook just now, Xu Guanchen turned his head and asked Mr. Cheng, "What did you write in that notebook just now?"

Eunuch Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Young Master is confused again, how could the servant know?"

At this time, the guards finished their interrogation, took half a step back, and let the carriage out of the palace gate.The coachman gave a drink, and the horses started to move slowly.

Xu Guanchen was quite embarrassed, and said softly to Mr. Cheng: "How about... why don't you go back to Funing Palace and wait for him?"

Eunuch Xiaocheng still smiled: "Of course I listen to the little eunuch."

He lifted the corner of the curtain and gave an order, and the carriage immediately turned back and drove through the palace road again.

When Xu Guanchen went back, Xiao Zhi hadn't come back yet.

It was expected that he was discussing matters in the Palace of Qinzheng, and he would not come back so soon.

The flower trees in the apse were in bloom, Xu Guanchen was sitting on the porch shaking his feet, and on a whim, he called Feiyang over and taught him how to read and write.

Recently, Yuqingzi not only consulted Xu Guanchen, but also consulted Feiyang. Feiyang went to him every three days for a few injections.

It's not that Xu Guanchen didn't think about teaching him to read, but he was restless by nature and couldn't calm down.Now that Yu Qingzi has treated him for a while, he has calmed down a lot, and his mind shows signs of growing from seven to ten years old.

The desk was full of papers that Xu Guanchen taught him to write. Eunuch Xiao Cheng came from the front and said, "Master, take a rest when you're tired."

He approached, put the wooden tray in his hand on the ground, Xu Guanchen and Feiyang piled the writing paper aside, and put the tea and snacks on the table.

"Mrs. Zhong brought the dried Zhijie lotus from Yanbei, and said that my grandpa likes to eat it. I haven't seen anything from the north in the small kitchen, so I tried to make desserts. My grandpa will try it."

Zhijie lotus is a special product of Yanbei. In early autumn, small white flowers bloom all over the foot of the mountain. When dried, they can be used as medicine to make tea and snacks.

The desserts are also snow-white, and they are clumsy when placed in rough clay dishes.

"Actually, I don't like Zhijielian." Xu Guanchen looked down at one or two scattered white petals in the teacup, "I just heard my brother mention it before, so I wanted to take a look when I went to Yanbei, and my aunt thought I like it."

Eunuch Xiaocheng said clearly: "Grandpa stays in the south, it's so sweet."

Feiyang pinched a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it with a frown: "It's so bitter."

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "It's still bitter."

Feiyang jumped over the railing in front of the corridor, and ran to eat candy.

Xu Guanchen broke the snacks and ate them bit by bit. After eating, he clapped his hands, propped his head, and asked casually: "Eunuch Xiao Cheng is the same age as my elder brother. Have you really never met him?"

"The slave came from a concubine and never practiced martial arts. Mr. Xu is a young talent, so naturally he doesn't recognize him." Eunuch Xiao Cheng smiled, he has a baby face, and he smiled sincerely, "If I know Mr. Xu, I am afraid I will never forget him for the rest of my life.”

Turning his head around, he saw Xiao Zhi came back, he hurriedly got up and bowed, saying hello.

Suddenly a strong wind came through the corridor, blowing up the rice paper that Xu Guanchen had piled aside, up and down suddenly.

Xu Guanchen turned his head in the ink and white paper, and cast a glance at him.He practiced the Tao, meditated and recited the scriptures until his bones were pierced. Sitting there, he didn't look like a Taoist priest, but like a god who had already attained the Tao.

But for a moment, the wind rolled the rice paper, and it soon dispersed.

Xiao Zhi also looked at him for a while, holding on to his belt, went around to change clothes in the inner room.

Xu Guanchen looked back ignorantly, only to find that the paper was blown everywhere, got up and climbed over the railing, and picked up everything.

Xiao Zhi changed his clothes and came out, and he picked up all the things.

Eunuch Xiaocheng changed the teacups and snacks, and the two of them sat on the porch instead.

Xiao Zhi asked, "You came back so soon, what did your master say?"

"I didn't go to see Master." Xu Guanchen said, "When I want to go out of the palace, I think it's better to come back first and go in the afternoon."

Xiao Zhi saw the paper he put on the desk and asked, "Come back and write big characters?"

"I just taught Feiyang how to write two characters." He raised his head and asked, "What's going on in the morning?"

Xiao Zhi couldn't explain this matter clearly in one or two sentences, so Xiao Zhi showed him the notes.

It was the note handed back by Ting Yunzhen.Xu Guanchen counted the days in his heart, Xiao Jue and his party should also arrive.

The zhezi was handed back by Mr. Xu, who had served as the crown prince and Taifu, and had also been in contact with Xiling before. What he said was very simple, Yuan Ce was assassinated, and his life and death are unknown.

The third prince of Xiling, Yuan Ce, had been fighting in the northwest all year round, and he had so much blood on his hands from the Liang people. It was expected that he would cause trouble when he came to Jinling.

It's just that Yuan Ce was assassinated on the night when Xiao Jue and his party arrived in Tingyun Town, the coincidence was caught by the people of Xiling.

At this time, the people brought by Yuan Ce surrounded the post house, only saying that the assassin was still in the post house, passing by the crowd, he refused to put him in or let him out.Yuan Ce is in the room and has never gone out, so he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Xu Guanchen hated Yuan Ce, but at this moment, he also hoped that he would not be seriously injured.

If he was seriously injured, he might even die.Not only is the group of Xiling people he brought with him hard to deal with, but it is also possible to cause Xiling people to counterattack in Yanbei.If there is a fight, it will not do any good.

Xu Guanchen put down the notebook and asked Xiao Zhi, "How is it?"

"Uncle's military camp stationed outside the city has been moved thirty miles north in case of emergencies. An urgent message has also been sent to General Yan Beizhong."

"Where is Tingyun Town?"

"Xiao Jue is trying to find a way to find out the news. Our people have matched up with the Xiling people."

Xu Guanchen sighed: "If the assassin can be found and Yuan Ce is not seriously injured, things should be much easier."

He changed his mind and said again: "Yuan Ce is a general, there are only a lot of guards around him, and his own martial arts are not bad, how could he be assassinated so easily? I'm afraid there is something inside him, he can't be ...to make things difficult on purpose?"

Xiao Zhi thought for a while: "Probably not."

Xu Guanchen murmured: "The situation in the capital of Xiling is complicated. Yuan Ce was originally a ceremonial soldier, so he has a place to fight for. But he clearly knows that Liang people won't tolerate him, so why did he come to Jinling?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhi: "Actually, sometimes I can't kill him to avenge my brother. How many people's brothers died under Yuan Ce's knife, but how many people died under my brother's long knife?" Where's brother?"

"It would be fine if we didn't fight. But—" Xu Guanchen sighed, reaching out to touch the back of his hand, "We won't be afraid if we fight, right?"

Xiao Zhi grabbed his hand with his backhand: "Well, I'm not afraid."
