The departure of the female prime minister did not cheer up Zhe Helan. He was still lying on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, holding his forehead with his hands like dead wood, and pinching his temples on both sides tightly with his thumb and middle finger. The person lay there motionless, as if thinking about a problem or recalling the past.
After two cups of tea, the Orchid Orchid still hasn’t moved at all...
Could it be that he fell asleep?
Jian Yeshi stood aside at a loss. He always respected his teacher. If the master was lying on the chair, he would never dare to disturb him or make any sound. Sometimes he would even stand outside and warn the junior brothers and sisters who were coming and going not to make any noise. But this time the situation was different. Outside, the junior brothers and sisters were carrying flower fertilizers in full swing, and most of the fertilizers were livestock excrement, so that the entire thatched cottage was filled with a putrid smell.
"Master...Master?" After repeated decisions, Jian Yeshi decided to awaken Zhe Helan.
"Huh? What?" Zhe Helan woke up and looked at the honest-looking eldest disciple standing aside, he was a little confused.
"Do you still need those flower fertilizers?"
"Flower fertilizer?" Zhe Helan fell into thinking for a moment, and then he reacted as a strong smell wafted over. Zhehelan slapped her thigh and hurriedly shouted outside -
"Bamboo peach—bamboo peach—!"
After a while, a girl with braids trotted in from outside. Perhaps because the smell was too strong, the girl tied a handkerchief to her face to cover her nose to block the foul smell.
"Master, are you calling me?"
"Have all the fertilizers been taken out?"
"If you reply to Master, take it all out."
"Oops! It's broken, it's broken!" Zhe Helan slapped her thigh, looking very anxious.
"Master...Master...what's wrong?" Zhutao felt a little flustered when he saw that his master was in trouble.
"These fertilizers were obtained by the teacher after hard work from the neighbors! Fresh animal manure cannot be put directly into the soil. It needs to be fermented in a dark and closed place. If you take it out to dry in the sun now, won't all your previous efforts be wasted?"
Zhe Helan looked like she was beating her chest, and she thought the old man had lost some gold and silver treasure.
"Oh! Then disciple, go right away! Let the senior brothers and sisters put it back!" Zhutao's eyes were a little panicked, and he quickly turned around and ran out of the house.
"Go quickly - go quickly -" Zhe Helan waved her hand, signaling the girl to go quickly.
The girl shook her head, her two braids shaking like the two projectiles of a rattle, as if she was going to rush out to protect the master's 'treasures'.
"Master, this disciple also goes out to help the junior brothers and sisters."
Jian Yeshi knew very well that his master loved flowers like children, and fertilizer was the 'food' for these flowers and plants. Although he didn't like it, he still had to step forward for his master and set the example that a senior brother should have. If he didn't lead by example and do it himself , how can we educate our junior brothers and sisters?
Just as Jian Yeshi was about to turn around and go out, Zhe Helan reached out and grabbed his beloved disciple's wrist, saying——
"Ye Shi, you stay"
Jian Yeshi was stunned for a moment, and then respectfully waited for the master's words.
"Ye Shi, my teacher has something to ask you."
"Master, please tell me"
"This trip to Chang'an... do you think I should go as a teacher?"
Jian Yeshi was slightly startled, how could he know this question?
For a moment, Jian Yeshi didn't know how to answer, so he could only look at the master blankly.
"If I don't go as a teacher, I will definitely have a peaceful life for three to five years..." Mentioning the 'peaceful life', Zhe Helan's tone revealed full of yearning. But then, he sighed and said: "But these three to five years have passed, and when I am old, I am afraid that life will not be peaceful..."
Jian Yeshi looked a little serious and said, "Who dares to come to trouble you?"
"Haha, I will eventually grow old as a teacher."
"Then he must first ask about the four swords in his disciple's hands!" Jian Yeshi suddenly became sharper, as if he wanted to cut everything with the four swords at his waist.
Seeing her beloved disciple's sincerity, Zhe Helan smiled and shook her head, saying, "You don't understand that woman."
"Even if she is the prime minister... No! Even if she is the emperor! How could my disciple ever be afraid of her? What's more, there are junior sisters and the others."
Zhe Helan's eyes were dark and gloomy, as if she saw some ghastly and terrifying poison. He said quietly: "Some people's strength is not in their fists."
Jian Yeshi looked at the master with a vague understanding. Although the sharp force was no longer as strong as before, his eyes were still full of dissatisfaction.
"Ye Shi, you know about the 'East Palace Incident' in the Wei Palace twenty-five years ago."
'Change in the East Palace'? In order to seize power, the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty secretly colluded with the commander of the Forbidden Army in an attempt to force Emperor Jing to give up his throne. It was the old Wei King who broke into the palace with his master to rescue him, first killed the rebels, and then captured the prince alive, and finally succeeded in quelling the rebellion. This Only then came the following series of things. Not to mention the Northern Wei Dynasty, everyone in the entire Central Plains knew about this matter. As the leader of Zhehelan, how could he not know about it?
Seeing Jian Yeshi nodding, Zhe Helan continued: "Do you also think the prince should be killed?"
"Deserves to be killed! As a prince, but he wants to kill the king, he is unfaithful and unfilial, so of course he deserves to be killed!" Jian Yeshi said the answer easily without thinking too much.
Zhe Helan changed the topic and said lightly with a smile: "Then if my teacher tells you now that the prince did not rebel back then, how would you... think about it?"
"What!?" Jian Yeshi's eyes widened and he looked at Zhe Helan in disbelief, "Then...then you...then aren't you..."
"Isn't that what? Killing innocent people in vain and framing the prince?" Seeing the shocked and incredible look on his disciple's face, Zhe Helan's smile grew stronger.
"disciple......"
"These are just nonsense for a teacher."
Seeing the upright Jian Yeshi hesitating and his cheeks turning a little red, Zhe Helan stopped teasing him.
After hearing his master admit that this was nonsense, Jian Yeshi's mood returned to calm.
Seeing that her beloved disciple's expression had softened slightly, Zhe Helan lowered her head and looked at her feet, and said in a slow and serious tone: "But have you ever thought that at that time, Emperor Zhao was already old and frail, but the prince was smart, capable, and had a reputation as a virtuous man?" , why would he rebel at this time?"
Faced with this problem, Jian Yeshi was startled again - yes, why did the prince rebel?
Zhe Helan's eyes gradually turned cold, and she said: "It is said that because Emperor Zhao has been in power for too long, the prince became dissatisfied as he got older, and because of political disagreements, the prince colluded with the imperial army and wanted to ascend to the throne early... .But have you ever thought that after so many years, you can’t wait for these six months and a year? The prince treated Xian and his corporal with kindness, and even the eunuchs and maids around him were treated very kindly. He was called a 'benevolent king' who only met once in a century, and How could he do something that deceives the emperor and is reviled by the world?"
Jian Yeshi was completely speechless. He was deep in thought, as if he was trying his best to find a reason, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find it.
"After suppressing the rebellion, I once heard that someone in the East Palace reported urgently that Emperor Zhao was assassinated. The assassin came from the Tang Dynasty, and his sword pointed directly at Emperor Zhao..." At the mention of 'assassin', Zhe Helan paused. A meal.
"Assassin? Who said that?" Jian Yeshi was very puzzled. He had never heard of the term "assassin" before the "East Palace Incident".
Zhe Helan seemed to be immersed in deep memories, and her tone became softer, with a little pity, intolerance, and a little regret.
"That orphan..."
"orphan?"
In the conversation between the master and the female prime minister just now, two 'orphans' appeared. One of them was a young man named Ye, but he didn't know who the other Jian Yeshi was.
But Zhe Helan fell into another state. He seemed to be talking to himself: "The orphan said to me: 'There are assassins, there are assassins!' But no matter how my teacher asked him, he would just keep repeating it. With these three words..."
"So what exactly..."
"Don't forget, at that time, Princess Xinyang had already hanged herself."
"You mean, that lunatic Bo Qingbo!?"
Zhe Helan nodded, and then he said slowly: "And at that time, there were indeed imperial guards who were assassinated in front of Emperor Zhao's palace."
Bo Qingbo? assassin? But the time when Bo Qingbo really came to Wei Palace was... These few things were connected, and Jian Yeshi suddenly felt that things were complicated.
"The assassin...is really uncle...but..."
Zhe Helan's eyes gradually became sharper, as if he had understood something. He smiled coldly and said: "From the wounds of those forbidden soldiers, it can be seen from the wounds of the forbidden soldiers that their moves are indeed fatal. This assassin is by no means an easy person... At that time, my teacher was just a I have some doubts... Huh! I didn’t know until today that I, the master, found out that the master of Yunyue Pavilion is the biological sister of our Prime Minister Wei!"
Jian Yeshi looked shocked.
"The assassination in the name of Bo Qingbo attracted the prince to come to rescue him, and then he accused the prince of assassinating the Imperial Guards and having evil intentions, and finally came to the prince's palace to bring in rescue troops... Those who could assassinate freely in the Wei Palace were the whole people at that time. There are only five people in the Central Plains, and it was later proven that Bo Qingbo could come whenever he wanted. Even though he had lost all his will and turned into a madman, he still came with integrity and was unstoppable... There is only one person!"
"So the only one left is the Pavilion Master!"
pass! Everything works! Then everything makes sense!
"Yes, only her!"
Zhe Helan couldn't help gritting his teeth. He who had always been peaceful rarely showed a hint of ruthlessness - if I hadn't learned about their relationship today, I, the old flower farmer, would have been used as a gun for so long but I would still have been kept in the dark! What a great way to 'drive away wolves and swallow tigers'! Emperor Zhao is old and has long been confused. How can he see through the authenticity...
But then, Zhe Helan sighed softly again, and the murderous look in her eyes instantly dissipated. He looked at Jianyeshi helplessly, and seeing the upright disciple's expression of unacceptable expression, he suddenly smiled and said: "These are just my teacher's speculations, just listen to it..."
Although he was speculating on his words, Zhe Helan's eyes showed full of certainty - it's just that his first disciple was taught the way of Confucius and Mencius and learned 'propriety, justice and integrity', so he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with such dirty and cruel things for a while. accept.
