Yu Bei, spring has passed, and the scorching summer is coming.The flowers on the frame are getting longer and more colorful, and the crabapple flowers of a small tree are also beginning to bloom, revealing their tender stamens.

Most importantly, the person in Yu Ke's heart is coming back soon.

Royal study.

Li Yuansheng sent several ministers out, and when he came back, he said: "Report to the emperor, let the prime minister see you."

"Xuan." Yu Ke said without raising his head.

Rong Yue came in, saluted and said: "See Your Majesty."

"Get up," Yu Ke raised his head, didn't look at Rong Yue, pulled Xie Yi's brush, and continued to write with his head down, "What's the matter, Prime Minister?"

Rong Yue reported one by one: "Returning to Your Majesty, I came to report the arrest of the rebels. According to Your Majesty's will, under the leadership of the Qianling Guard, the ministers arrested the criminals on the list and were tried by Dali Temple. The following offenders are treasonous and outrageous, and the crimes are piled up one after another, please Your Majesty to make a decision."

The servant sent the memorial, Li Yuansheng took it and handed it to Yu Ke.

"Well, I got it." Yu Ke put down the memorial, and said, "The mastermind will be executed, and the men who know about it will be dispatched to the frontier to serve as soldiers.

"Yes, I obey." Rong Yue said.

After finishing speaking, he didn't leave, but stayed where he was.

Yu Ke looked up at him, a trace of indifference quickly flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled and asked, "What else can Rong Qing do?"

"Return to Your Majesty," Rong Yue lowered his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty left Beijing for a long time a month ago, and I was very worried. I wonder if Rong Chen has the courage to ask, where did Your Majesty go?"

The corners of Yu Ke's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes, instead he looked even more indifferent.He closed the memorial, put it aside, and said calmly: "I have returned safely, Rong Qing need not worry."

In the month since he arrived in Yubei, Rong Yue has come to inquire about his whereabouts more than once, and he also knows that he suspects that Yu Ke left Beijing to find Chu Tang—after all, since Chu Tang left, Yu Ke was the first Leaving Beijing for the first time, and it has been arranged for more than a year, seems to be waiting for that moment, Rongyue has nothing to do with him except to meet his teacher.

But Yu Ke said that he was only going to visit the people, his words were careful, and the people around him were very popular. He really couldn't find out Yu Ke's whereabouts.

Yu Ke was tired of him asking about Chu Tang's news, but because he didn't want Rong Yue to notice his relationship with Chu Tang for the time being, he didn't tell the truth, only saying that he went on a tour in private microservices.

Rong Yue obviously didn't believe it, insisted on asking, and asked in a different way, as if he was not afraid of the emperor's anger at all.That's right, he still doesn't know that the emperor likes his teacher, let alone that he is his person now, so he naturally doesn't think the emperor should be angry.

So speaking of it, Rong Yue was just an outsider, and Chu Tang didn't tell him, he didn't know Chu Tang's whereabouts, let alone that he and his students were already together, so he could only worry on the periphery.

Thinking of this, Yu Ke felt much happier in his heart, and felt a little pleasing to the eye when looking at this rival in love.However, he still regards Chu Tang as a thorn in his side. After all, who told him to like Chu Tang, he is so similar to that annoying Song Yue.

But he was able to hide things, and he didn't show it on the surface. Rongyue, a person who had never stepped into a love scene, even though he was sensitive in the officialdom, was not as good as Yu Ke in dealing with such things, not to mention that Yu Ke had refuted him before, so he always Shi Shi didn't even feel that Yu Ke was targeting him.

Rong Yue pursed her lips and said, "Did your majesty meet the national teacher on the way?"

"Never." Yu Ke said without changing his face.

Rong Yue couldn't hide his disappointment.Chu Tang was caught off guard when he left, and he didn't tell him where he was going. After asking everyone, they were all surprised and asked where the national teacher had gone, and they were more confused than him.Therefore, for more than a year, he sent people to search for Chu Tang, but found nothing.

Chu Tang is like the ice and snow that melts before the sun rises in spring, disappearing without a trace in the world, leaving no trace except for his achievements in politics and love in people's hearts.

Suddenly, Yu Ke said: "I remember that Rong Qing has passed his [-]s this year, is there a marriage?"

"Not yet." Rong Yue shook his head.

Yu Ke leaned on the back of the chair, looking as if he was relaxing and chatting with his courtiers: "Then there is someone you like? Is it because of him that you didn't get married?"

Rong Yue hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "Reply to His Majesty, yes."

"That's it," Yu Ke seemed to sigh, "Rong Qing is very affectionate."

Rong vaguely felt that he was hostile, but upon closer inspection, Yu Ke's smile was kind and there was nothing wrong with it.He stopped thinking about asking Yu Ke why he didn't choose a concubine, bowed his head and said, "I'm afraid."

At this point, he couldn't ask any more about Chu Tang, so he withdrew in frustration.

Yu Ke looked down at the notebook and snorted coldly.

Then he felt that he should get rid of this bad habit of being jealous.Chu Tang promised to be with him, now he is his, he should try to trust that Chu Tang will not be snatched away by others...

He said so to himself.

However, when he encountered something about Chu Tang, he couldn't calm down.

After approving paperwork, he got up and went out.

When Li Yuansheng saw him, he said respectfully, "What is your majesty's order?"

"Go to the library." Yu Ke said lightly.

The Royal Library is the place where the emperors of Yubei used to collect paintings and calligraphy. It is the oldest library in the capital, and it is full of books.Because both Yu Ke and Chu Tang like calligraphy and painting, there are famous calligraphy and paintings from all over the country here, and any roll you choose is priceless.

Yu Ke came to look for a book. He remembered that there was the first volume of that book in the National Teacher's Mansion, and it was placed beside Chu Tang's bed. Before that, Chu Tang casually mentioned that the book was written by the founding emperor Yu Bei. I have benefited a lot from reading it, but unfortunately the next volume is lost.He remembered that the library happened to have that copy.

Chu Tang is coming back soon, if he finds it for Chu Tang, Chu Tang should like it.

The library building is majestic, with a unique structure and high eaves, like a bird flying in the blue sky.

Li Yuansheng said: "What is your Majesty looking for, can I find it for you?"

"No, let's go out."

"Yes."

Yu Ke jumped over the bookshelves and walked to the end.

There are dedicated people here to take care of them. Even if they have not been used for a long time, the books are well preserved and clean as new.Under the soft sunshine from the carved window, the eunuch guarding the Bookshelf stood beside the bookshelf, and said respectfully, "Which one do you want Your Majesty to take?"

Yu Ke pointed to the unremarkable book in the corner: "This one."

"Yes." The eunuch squatted down and pulled out the books with both hands, but because the books were stuck together, he accidentally brought out a few pieces of paper sandwiched between the books, and they fell to the ground like butterflies with yellowed leaves.

Holding the book in his hand, Yu Ke asked strangely, "What is this?"

The eunuch quickly picked up a few pieces of paper and presented them with both hands: "If you go back to the emperor, it seems to be a portrait drawn before."

The paintings in the palace are all framed, what kind of portraits are hidden so carefully?

Yu Ke opened one casually, his brows furrowed suddenly, his face was serious, his eyes were cold, and his voice said, "Who drew this."

The eunuch replied: "If you go back to the emperor, all the works on this bookshelf are the works of the emperors of the past dynasties."

A sternness and doubt flashed in Yu Ke's eyes, he frowned and opened the papers one by one.

As expected, except for the first one, the others are also painted by Chu Tang.

Most of the background is a Buddhist temple, with Chu Tang standing under the pear tree, Chu Tang reading in the study, and closing his eyes and reciting scriptures.The pen and ink are concise, but the painting is very serious, depicting Chu Tang's indifferent and beautiful eyebrows and concentration when doing things.

Taking a closer look, Chu Tang in the painting looks younger than he is now, with a slender figure, as if he was just 20 years old.

How could there be a portrait of Chu Tang in Zangshu Pavilion?And it is still on the bookshelves of the emperors of all dynasties.

Yu Ke's portraits of Chu Tang have always been carefully kept in other places, and will never be missed.

"Search all the things here," Yu Ke suddenly squeezed the paper in his hand, "Find out all the books, calligraphy and paintings related to the national teacher."

"Yes, the slave obeys."

In the evening, Yu Ke looked at the portraits on the table, his face sinking like water. In one of the scrolls, the colors were delicate, and the painting was still Chu Tang, only a little older than the previous one.

After so many years, Chu Tang's appearance has not changed.So he can only recognize when Chu Tang was based on his background.

The inscription on the lower right is the first emperor's name and the year before his death.

He knew that his licentious father could draw a little bit, but why did he draw Chu Tang?Did he know Chu Tang?What is the relationship between them.

Didn't it mean that Chu Tang has been in the Buddhist temple?

He heard rumors that Chu Tang was born with bad luck. The former national teacher and the first emperor were worried that he would affect the fate of the country, so they sent him away from the capital.There are also rumors that his lucky star is shining, and it was the former national teacher who was deeply affectionate and sent him to Mingyue Temple in fear that others would plot against Chu Tang, in order to pray for him to spend his life safely.

Could it be that the first emperor was also worried about this aspect?That's why they spied on Chu Tang's every move in the Buddhist temple?

No, if he was worried about the rebellion of the former national teacher and Chu Tang, why did the late emperor draw these unnecessary portraits?

Yu Ke had a strange guess in his heart.

But then he threw the idea away.Impossible, the late emperor obviously liked women.

impossible.

After approving everything, Yu Ke calmed down.

----

Two days later, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. It was the day they had agreed upon.Yu Kepan had been looking forward to this day for a long time, hurriedly finally settled all the affairs yesterday, and came to the National Teacher's Mansion early this morning, wanting to wait for Chu Tang quietly.

Chu Tang said that he would appear in the study.

So as soon as Yu Ke arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, he went straight to the study.While waiting, he thought of the portrait he saw two days ago, and couldn't help but look outside the study.

He remembered that there was also a library in the National Teacher's Mansion.

When the steward heard that the emperor was going to the library, he was surprised and said, "Why is your majesty going all of a sudden? If you need anything, just let the younger one find it."

"I'll go and have a look," Yu Ke said, "Why, the national teacher doesn't allow others to enter his library?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "It's a slave who talks too much. The national teacher acts upright and is loyal to His Majesty and Yu Bei. There is nothing to hide from His Majesty."

Yu Ke smiled and said, "Don't think too much, and don't talk too much about telling the national teacher."

"Yes!"

Arriving at Chu Tang's Book Collection Pavilion, Yu Ke turned around and searched the bookshelf by himself.

After a while, he really found several scrolls in a dark compartment.

The painting on it is the first emperor.

Even though the first emperor was obsessed with sensuality and was a fool, he still had a good appearance, otherwise he would not have given birth to a son like Yu Ke, and there would not have been so many concubines who would be jealous and fight to the death.

There was also a letter inside.
