It was night, in the Dali Imperial Palace, and the lights in the East Palace were brightly lit.
In the Wuji Hall, all the great figures of the current dynasty were standing in front of the screen, respectfully waiting for the person behind the screen to appear.
Not long after, a group of attendants served a man in golden robes and came behind the screen.
Through the screen, one could vaguely see that he was an extremely heroic man, tall and tall, wearing a golden crown. He walked with a tiger perched on a dragon's head, like an emperor.
But as soon as he sat down, a calm voice said: "Come on, pull these damn slaves out and kill them with sticks!"
Everyone present was shocked. An old scholar led by him quickly spoke to persuade: "Your Highness, Prince, calm down. I wonder how these servants provoked His Highness?"
"Not to mention today, let me just say how many times I have said it before. Master Song is here. If you want to sit at the top, how can you let Master Song stand below?" "As well as my ministers in Dali, which one is not the pillar of Dali?"
His Highness the Crown Prince became more and more angry as he spoke. He threw the water cup at the servant next to him: "Since you are the pillar of Dali! You must be treated with royal courtesy! I will spare you for the last time. Let Master Song is sitting on it, showing his seat to other ministers!!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's last few words were almost said through gritted teeth.
After saying these words, several ministers in the audience immediately bowed their hands and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"
The old scholar was even more in tears at this time. He looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such great love for us old guys, it makes me unable to control myself!"
The prince waved his hands repeatedly and softened his tone: "Master Song, I grew up listening to your lectures. Once a teacher, always a teacher. I will be your disciple at any time."
With that said, the prince ordered: "Place the stool in front of me, let Master Song sit in front of me, and make some pear blossom tea for Master Song. I hope you won't let me teach you this next time!"
The servants were obedient at this time, and after a short while, they arranged everything properly according to the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince, and left in a hurry after His Highness the Crown Prince said "get out of here".
In the entire Wuji Hall, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several important court officials present were left.
That old Confucian was none other than the great Confucian of Song Dynasty who was the Prime Minister of the dynasty and the greatest Confucian among the saints.
He is also the only eighth-grade scholar in the world today.
The Great Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty was also the most important minister in the dynasty, and he was also the prince's grand master to the current crown prince. He was ranked among the ministers, which could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Song Daru is the only being who can be called the pillar of Dali. He has extremely high knowledge and profound Confucianism and Taoism. Now that Mr. Da does not care about worldly affairs, Song Daru is the leader of Dali Confucianism and Taoism.
The great Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty had been the prime minister and assistant minister for decades and was the best among civil servants. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had studied under the Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty for many years since he was a child.
Daru of the Song Dynasty worked hard to help Emperor Dali lay the current foundation.
Although the Great Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty was old, he was full of energy. He ran the affairs of the court every day and had become the chief minister. He had countless disciples and disciples based on Confucianism and Taoism, and he became the most admired person in Confucianism and Taoism today.
As for the following people, they are all first-rank ministers of the current dynasty and ministers of the six ministries.
"Master Song, ministers, I came to see Wuji late at night. I think there is something important, so please tell me without delay." His Highness the Crown Prince spoke sincerely at this time.
Today, the sage has ignored the government affairs for many years, and the prince of the East Palace is the final decision-maker. Two years ago, the sage issued an edict ordering the prince to supervise the country, which legally fixed the prince as the final decision-maker. Therefore, now Dali's All matters, big and small, have been handed over to the East Palace.
Therefore, although the Dali royal family does not go to court, it is because going to court is the prerogative of the Holy Emperor. If the Holy Emperor does not go to court, he cannot go to court. The prince oversees the country and supervises the country in the East Palace and handles state affairs.
Every odd-numbered day, Song Daru and the ministers of the other six departments would come to the East Palace to discuss matters. Other government offices, ministries, and courts would come with them for important matters. Small matters would only need to be reported in memorials. After the prince's instructions, they would follow the prince's arrangements. , just execute.
Emperor Taiping had not been in court for many years, but many complicated matters in Da Li Tianxia were solved in this way, and nothing went wrong.
Therefore, many people are discussing in private that this is Emperor Taiping testing the prince to see whether he has the ability to govern the country.
There are even rumors that Emperor Taiping may give the throne to the current prince in the near future.
As a result, important officials from the court came to the prince's residence more and more often.
The current prince has lived up to expectations. With continuous accumulation, he has basically acquired the image of a heroic ruler. The final decisions on many matters fall to him.
The prince called him Yun Wuji, so this hall was also called Wuji Hall.
At this time, the eyes of the six ministers fell on Song Daru. Obviously, as assistants to the prime minister, they easily grasped the key points and followed Song Daru's lead in everything.
Song Daru cleared his throat at this time and said: "Your Highness, some of the situations reported recently from various places are not optimistic. Monsters have been found in the southeastern sea, and there seems to be collusion."
Song Daru told the prince everything he had learned.
"The Great Confucian King Jingzhe is honing his combat skills in the southeastern sea. Recently, he discovered that many great monsters in the southeastern sea have left seclusion, and it seems that many leaders of the monster clan have met each other specifically. Some low-level monsters have even They appear one after another, plundering the residents of the southeastern sea many times, killing people and sucking blood like hemp."
"King Pingnan, who is guarding the south, also received news that the Gu clan in Miao territory has been undergoing frequent changes recently. It is said that the Gu king has returned from seclusion and is cleaning the chess pieces we have placed in the Gu clan. Many of them The hidden line has been cleared out and killed on the spot."
"From the north, a letter came from Marquis Luo Shen, reporting the war situation in the north. It has entered winter, and the barbarian troops have been assembled in the far north, ready to send troops southward at any time."
When Song Daru said this, he paused for a moment, but the six ministers carefully observed the expression of His Highness the Crown Prince. Every time Song Daru said a word, His Highness the Crown Prince's brows frowned, until finally, the whole person's brows were twisted. The word "Chuan".
Obviously, these things mentioned are enough to give His Highness the Crown Prince a headache.
The troubles of demons in the southeastern sea, the barbarian invasion in the north at any time, and the wolfish ambitions of the Miao Gu tribe in the south. These are all troubles that have existed for thousands of years, and they cannot be eliminated overnight.
No matter how talented the current prince is, he cannot solve all the problems in one day.
Song Daru added at this time, saying: "The Lord Shen said another thing in his letter. Normally, when winter is approaching, the barbarian army would rush out directly to occupy the favorable terrain in the south and start to recuperate, but this time , seems to be different, although we have received accurate news that the barbarian army has been assembled, but they have not dispatched, and this time it is not as impulsive as before, but seems to be waiting for something."
Having said this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned even more, and he asked: "What are they waiting for? Are they waiting for the aliens from other places to support them?"
Song Daru nodded, did not deny it, but opened his mouth to analyze: "We cannot rule out the possibility, because so much news came at the same time, and when analyzed together, it is easy to draw the conclusion that there is definitely a connection between them. Yes, and the matter of collusion and conspiracy is not a small matter!"
"Hmph!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snorted heavily and said bitterly: "The foreigners are determined to kill me. They see that their father has not been in court for many years and has forgotten how he defeated them back then. Are you bullying me, a prince, who can't make the decision? Or are you bullying me because I'm young, so I don't dare to attack them? Or are you bullying me that I can't use military power, and can't send out an army to give them a thunderous blow?"
"Your Highness, please be patient. This time I came to look for His Highness late at night because I wanted to work with His Highness to plan this matter!" Song Daru said with a smile: "There are just a few fleas, Your Highness, there is no need to be angry."
The prince smiled slightly at this time: "Master Song, don't worry. Originally, I planned to wait until the ministers come to discuss the matter tomorrow to tell you something. But since you are already here today, I might as well tell you first."
Everyone looked at His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Yesterday, my father summoned me." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said calmly. As he spoke, His Royal Highness waved slightly, and a shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and then handed a wooden box to His Highness the Crown Prince.
"It's the Shadow Guard!!!" At this time, the pupils of the six ministers present shrank slightly, and the shock on their faces was beyond words. Even Song Daru, who usually acted calmly, looked at him in surprise. His Royal Highness, there were many questions in his eyes, but more importantly, he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
Even the shadow guard was given to His Highness the Crown Prince. It seems that the Holy Emperor has really thought about passing the throne to the Crown Prince of the East Palace in front of him.
The Shadow Guards are the personal guards of the Holy Emperor. They usually only accompany the Holy Emperor and will not obey anyone's orders. However, this time, the Holy Emperor actually gave all his personal guards to His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Everyone, please take a look!" At this moment, His Royal Highness also opened the wooden box in his hand.
The moment they saw the wooden box, everyone was stunned.
Tiger Talisman! !
It turned out to be a tiger charm!
The Holy Emperor actually gave all the tiger talismans to His Highness the Crown Prince! !
The six ministers, especially the Minister of War, looked at the prince with disbelief. Their hearts were filled with confusion. Did the emperor really want to give the throne to the prince? He even handed over the tiger talisman.
"With it, those alien races must not be a problem!" The prince looked at everyone and spoke with a smile.
…
At the same time, Jiangnan Academy.
At this time, Fang Yi, like other students, began training in the inhumane way of fighting Confucianism.
