The little emperor is still very young.
Although he has received the best royal education and knows the words benevolence and filial piety, at this age, he is somewhat rebellious and stubborn like a young man.
For example, he was very disgusted with the marriage arranged by the Queen Mother for him.
He didn't like the queen or the noble concubine of Northern Qi very much.
Maybe it's because of this rebellious mentality, or maybe it's because he really likes Master Gu. In the past few months, he has left the palace and met Master Gu several times.
Of course, with his identity here, he is destined to be unable to spend the night outside the palace.
As for whether there was physical intimacy, I'm afraid only the two parties involved and Eunuch Gao know.
When His Majesty the Emperor was preparing to leave the palace, Mr. Pei Yuan, who was exhausted in the palace, did not go home after leaving the palace. Instead, he came to the Yang Mansion with a puff of smoke. After handing over his name sticker, he was quickly taken over by Yang. The servants of the family invited them to the back house of the Yang family.
He met the old prime minister Yang Jingzong in the flower garden in the Yang family's backyard.
But at this time, Yang Jingzong was not alone here. There was another middle-aged man sitting next to him. This middle-aged man Pei Yuan recognized him.
Dr. Pei hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the old Prime Minister, and held the disciple ceremony: "Student Pei Yuan, pay homage to my mentor."
Old man Yang was talking to the middle-aged man next to him. He smiled when he heard this, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Hiroyuki is back, sit down quickly."
Pei Yuan did not sit down, but saluted the middle-aged man beside him: "Shilang Fan is here too."
Fan Shilang stood up and returned the gift with his hands, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the old Xiangguo for a long time, and I miss him very much, so I came here to visit the old Xiangguo."
The two people looked at each other, with some thoughts in each other's eyes.
After Pei Yuan sat down, he laughed at himself: "Brother Fan is making fun of you. Pei is no longer a minister now, he is just a doctor in the Ministry of Rites."
The old Xiangguo put down the shower in his hand, glanced at Pei Yuan, and said with a smile: "Hiroyuki did a good job on this errand. I heard that several prime ministers in the council hall were very satisfied. As a teacher, I have a very good look on my face. There’s also brilliance.”
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Yang Jingzong stroked his beard and sighed with emotion: "Bo Zhi has a sharp tongue, but he can stop the war for the imperial court. This is a rare martial art. Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty can have a truce, Bo Zhi's contribution is even greater." The navy crossed the Huaihe River."
Pei Yuan shook his head and wanted to say something, but he was worried about Fan You's presence, so he didn't speak.
Yang Xiangguo lowered his eyebrows and said, "Ji Ming is one of our own. There is no need to be shy about saying anything."
Fan You's courtesy name is Ji Ming.
Pei Yuan then sighed and said: "What's the use of being satisfied with your Majesty? Your Majesty is very unhappy. This disciple went to the palace to see His Majesty in the morning to reply to the decree, but he didn't even see His Majesty's face..."
"His Majesty…"
After Yang Xiangguo said these two words, he stopped talking. The old man sighed and said: "As a minister, if you want to do things for the country, you must not be afraid of His Majesty's misunderstanding. Even if His Majesty is temporarily deceived by an adulterer, sooner or later he will You can appreciate our good intentions.”
He looked at Pei Yuan and said comfortingly: "After a few years, your majesty will understand our loyalty, and you will naturally understand Bozhi's contribution today. When the time comes, it will be a matter of course for Bozhi to enter the Central Committee and pay homage to the prime minister."
Fan Tong, who was on the side, saw that the master and apprentice were chatting happily, and he was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. He stood up silently, cupped his hands in front of Yang Jingzong and said: "Old Prime Minister, since Minister Pei is here, you master and apprentice will slowly... Let’s chat, I’ll come back to visit the old Prime Minister another day.”
Yang Jingzong smiled and nodded: "I'll send Ji Ming off."
"Don't dare."
Fan Tong quickly waved his hand and said: "Old Prime Minister, just sit down. I will definitely come back when I'm free."
Yang Jingzong didn't insist. He just looked at Pei Yuan and coughed: "Bo Zhi, you will give Ji Ming a gift for the master."
Pei Yuan quickly stood up and sent Fan Shilang out of the Yang Mansion. During this period, neither of them was sure what the other wanted to do, so neither of them spoke.
After sending Fan Tong away, Pei Yuan returned to the back garden of the Yang family, moved a chair and sat next to Yang Jingzong. After chatting for a few words, he asked: "Teacher, what are you doing here with Fan Jiming?" He is from Jiangdu, and the student remembers that he used to have flirtations with the people from Ganquan Academy..."
"It's just weeds on the wall."
Old Man Yang smiled and said: "Sometimes, he can't help it. He is from Jiangdu, so he is naturally close to the group of people from Ganquan Academy, but those people from the academy are clumsy and exclusive. After all, Fan Jiming is not from Ganquan Academy. He is not like those from Ganquan Academy. No one can go anywhere.”
"Later, his nephew had a conflict with the young people from Ganquan Academy, and the two parties became even more contradictory. A few days ago, Zhao Changping even asked the imperial censor to consult with him. Now Fan Jiming can be said to have broken with Ganquan Academy. "
Pei Yuan was still a little confused: "Then he came to find his mentor?"
At this moment, Old Man Yang was making tea, and a pot of tea was boiling. He wanted to reach out to serve the tea. Pei Yuan, who was beside him, quickly reached out, picked up the boiling tea, and poured a cup for his old teacher and himself.
Old Man Yang picked up his cup of tea, blew on the hot air, and took a sip: "He is here to ask for help from my teacher."
The old man said with a smile: "He said someone in Jiankang is checking him, maybe... someone from the Di News Department."
"Di News Department..."
Pei Yuan was a little stunned: "Isn't that just a trick of His Majesty's whim..."
"Don't underestimate young people."
Old Man Yang took a sip of water and said with a calm expression: "This newspaper office is not simple. It used to be just a mouthpiece for His Majesty and a mouthpiece for the palace. Now it seems that it is no longer just a mouthpiece, but will slowly become a hidden secret in the palace." of one hand."
"but…"
Yang Jingzong chuckled: "But children are too immature after all. It's not good to investigate anyone. Let's investigate a twenty-year veteran of the Ministry of Justice..."
"Di Reporting Department, Shen Yi..."
Pei Yuan was demoted because of Shen Yi. He had suffered losses from Shen Yi, so he was naturally deeply impressed by Shen Yi. The doctor of the Ministry of Rites frowned and said: "Fan Jiming is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He wants to move Shen Yi, but there are many ways..."
"This Shen Sizheng is not simple."
Old Man Yang smiled and said: "On the surface, His Majesty is protecting him, but privately, there is an old friend standing behind him. It is really not easy to touch him."
Yang Jingzong smiled.
"Fortunately, the people in Ganquan Academy don't know how to restrain themselves. By catering to His Majesty, they just got some benefits in the court, and then they made enemies everywhere. Now, this young man from their academy has offended Fan Jiming and the Zhao family..."
The old man pointed to his nose, and the smile on his face faded: "You offended me."
"If he offends the public, His Majesty may not be willing to protect him."
Old Xiangguo reached out and added a cup of tea for himself, then took a sip and squinted his eyes happily: "Now, Fan Jiming is completely annoyed. Let us, master and disciple, calm down and take a look at what this Minister Fan is doing. "
Pei Yuan responded with a smile, added tea to his mentor, and said cautiously: "Teacher, you just said that the student did a good job on this errand, and the student's position as minister..."
"You haven't returned to Jiankang yet, and you've already arranged for someone to write a letter asking for your credit, but Your Majesty..."
Yang Jingzong shook his head slightly and sighed: "Your Majesty still hasn't figured it out yet."
"Your affairs cannot be rushed."
"Just take your time."
Yang Xiangguo's tone was determined.
"There will be a day when you, Pei Bozhi, will make his mark."
