Boom!
Two guards came in.
"Capture the prince and put him in a prison!"
Li Shimin said angrily.
Hearing this, the little eunuch next to Li Chengqian suddenly became anxious and said quickly:
"Your Majesty! This is not His Highness the Crown Prince's fault! It's all...all bad ideas from this slave. I was thinking of..."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and stared at him with a pair of tiger eyes!
The little eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.
"Okay! It turns out that you, a cheap slave, instigated it. How dare you!"
Li Shimin said angrily,
"Come on, drag this animal out and kill it!"
"Yes!" The guard took the little eunuch out without saying a word.
Li Chengqian's face turned pale and he said anxiously:
"Father! Don't blame him! I want to pray for my mother..."
He hasn't spoken yet.
"ah!!"
There was a scream from outside, and then there was no sound.
Li Chengqian's explanation that had just come to his lips suddenly vanished into smoke.
Li Shimin was looking at him coldly.
He smiled sadly.
"Be thrown into the sky prison!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said coldly.
Li Chengqian didn't give any explanation and left the palace at the mercy of the guards.
He saw two guards dragging the eunuch's body out.
Several slaves came up and worked hard to clean the blood.
They were very efficient. In an instant, there was no trace of blood on the ground anymore, and the entire East Palace returned to silence.
Not even the slightest smell of blood.
But Li Chengqian's eyes were dull as he looked at the cleaned floor tile.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince... please."
The imperial guard did not dare to pinch Li Chengqian until it hurt, so he could only persuade him.
Li Chengqian walked forward numbly and shed tears silently.
Inside the palace.
Li Shimin's face was so gloomy that no one dared to get even close.
The servants on duty in the palace were all doing their work carefully, their nerves were completely tense and they did not dare to make any sound.
I do not know how long it has been.
"His Majesty."
A eunuch walked into the palace tremblingly and said,
"The right servant is here."
Li Shimin was silent for a moment and said,
"Tell him to come in."
…
Chang'an, Tang Academy.
The teachers were preparing lesson plans for class, and they all looked serious.
After these two years of operation, Datang Academy has been on the right track. It recruits a batch of new students every year, and the entire academy is becoming more and more lively.
Every time I take a lunch break, the noise is just like a farm! Raised thousands of chickens and ducks!
At the same time, teachers' tasks are also increasing.
Freshmen come in and old students get promoted.
Teachers must come up with advanced knowledge before they can teach these smart and studious people.
"Oh! It's finally done!"
Xu Yan put down the lesson plan and yawned.
In front of him was a thick stack of lesson plans.
"Are you so detailed?"
The teacher on the side looked up and said with some surprise.
This is a failed Jinshi named Luo Xin.
"Today's students are so arrogant. If I don't do it in detail, will I still be questioned by them?"
Xu Yan said helplessly,
"No, I don't even have time to do the work of the court, so I spend all my energy writing lesson plans."
"Fortunately, after our generation has pioneered, those who come after us can relax a little more. They will have experience by then."
In fact, Xu Yan can't even call this a lesson plan, it's completely a teaching material!
What he is writing with great painstaking efforts will definitely be the most exciting teaching materials in the hands of teachers at Tang Academy in the future!
"He who can do it should work harder."
Luo Xin laughed, stretched and said,
"Fortunately, I am now in charge of the first grade. With you leading the way, I can feel much more relaxed."
"But Brother Xu, you can't put the cart before the horse. The official business of the imperial court is the most important thing, and the teaching task of the academy is only part-time."
"Don't delay your official career."
He said, looking a little envious.
For a failed Jinshi like him, teaching in the academy was the only decent way out.
But Xu Yan was different. He was born as a Tanhualang and held two positions. He was able to attend both the imperial court and the academy... which was enviable.
"Actually, compared to things in the court, I prefer to teach children in the academy."
Xu Yan stood up and said with a smile,
"And I'm not putting the cart before the horse. It's your perception that's wrong."
"Actually, both are equally important. If I do well in the academy, it will also be a political achievement in the imperial court. Do you understand?"
Luo Xin's expression changed.
These words... surprised him a bit.
Like this?
"The imperial examination will be held soon. Come on."
Xu Yan patted Luo Xin's shoulder and said,
"Let's be officials and teachers together."
Luo Xin nodded immediately.
"Definitely! I will never fail again this time!"
He responded firmly, and when he saw Xu Yan walking out, he couldn't help but ask loudly,
"Where are you going?"
"I'll go find the vice principal to review the teaching plan!" Xu Yan said without raising his head.
…
Upstairs, the principal's office.
Xu Fenglei looked at Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang with a serious expression.
When the two saw this, they smiled bitterly.
"Principal Xu, aren't you also a master? Why should we take advantage of this kind of thing?"
"Yeah...you already know it in your mind, why are you still asking us?"
Xu Fenglei listened to these words, but remained silent, still staring at the two of them.
Li Chunfeng was the first to be defeated.
"Okay, okay, let me do the math for you."
He said helplessly,
"But I have a feeling it won't turn out well."
With that said, Li Chunfeng closed his eyes and started pinching his fingers.
Xu Fenglei is not from the same sect as him, and I don’t know what means he uses to take advantage of it, but at any rate... he is already taking action.
So, he turned his attention to Yuan Tiangang.
"Chunfeng can just take it by himself."
Yuan Tiangang spread his hands and said,
"He is accurate enough, there is no need for me to..."
"Okay, okay, I'll take it too, hey!"
He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xu Fenglei, so he closed his eyes and muttered silently.
Seeing that both of them were serious, Xu Fenglei relaxed a little and took a sip of tea.
After a while.
Li Chunfeng opened his eyes.
He did not speak, but looked at Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang also opened his eyes at this moment.
Eyes facing each other.
Then their eyes met.
"It's a dead end. The queen's life span has expired, and all the evil martial arts are useless."
"Yes, the most decent people can only pray for blessings, but basically you can't get it. Zhuge Liang didn't ask for it back then, and the current queen has no chance."
Both of them shook their heads and gave their judgment!
What Xu Fenglei wanted them to calculate was whether Changsun Wugou's lifespan had come to an end.
Both of them said...there was nothing they could do.
God’s will cannot be violated!
"Is there nothing you can do?"
Xu Fenglei refused to give up and stared at the two of them and said,
"Evil sects of Kung Fu can do it...it can even damage your Yang and longevity!"
"Just say it, say it!"
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up! I believe that Your Majesty will not give up either!"
Li Chunfeng: "..."
Yuan Tiangang: "..."
"Won't."
"I really don't, principal, please stop forcing us!..."
"yes!"
The two of them were even more helpless.
Why is Principal Xu so stubborn?
"well!"
Xu Fenglei sighed and said,
"Is it really God's will?"
"Is it really that difficult to go against the will of heaven?"
His mood was gloomy.
I thought that by coming to the Tang Dynasty, I could change the trajectory of history and seize the two ponytails of the historical cart... Ah, no, the steering wheel.
But after being around for so many years, I can’t even save myself now!
Even... Queen Changsun's lifespan is even shorter than in history!
Li Yuan also died a few months earlier than in history!
Thinking of this, Xu Fenglei suddenly felt a little frightened!
Could it be that... I can't make the Tang Dynasty better, but will make the empire collapse earlier?
In that case...it would be completely contrary to the ambition I had originally set!
What a failure!
"Actually... there is a way, but it's a bit self-deceiving."
Yuan Tiangang suddenly said.
Xu Fenglei raised his head suddenly!
"Tell me! Tell me!"
"No matter what the method is, you tell me first and then I'll think about it!"
He suddenly grabbed Yuan Tiangang's sleeve, feeling very anxious.
"Well...my uncle told me this, and he only mentioned it once."
Yuan Tiangang held his forehead and said,
"Do you know my uncle?"
Xu Fenglei was startled.
"Yuan Shoucheng?" he asked.
Yuan Tiangang nodded.
"As expected, you know." He looked determined.
Xu Fenglei suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Yuan Shoucheng! It's the big guy in Journey to the West who tells fortunes for the Dragon King of Jinghe River! In the end, the Dragon King of Jinghe was killed, and he stopped counting fortunes.
Although it was just a fairy tale, Xu Fenglei also knew... Yuan Shoucheng must be capable!
His ability may be even higher than that of Yuan Tiangang!
"My uncle once said...if a person knows in advance that he is going to die, he can prepare first..."
Yuan Tiangang was about to say something when he suddenly heard a voice.
"Vice principal, I'll send you the lesson plan. You can take a look."
"If there is no problem, I will use it..."
"Hey, the principal is here too! How rare!"
At this moment, Xu Yan barged in and interrupted Yuan Tiangang's words.
Yuan Tiangang glanced at Xu Yan and immediately fell silent.
Xu Fenglei looked at Xu Yan with an unhappy face and scolded:
"You can just think about such trivial matters yourself. Why come here to disturb me?"
"Go back! Do your own thing! Don't you see we are busy here?"
Xu Yan: "..."
He looked confused.
Why...is the principal so angry today?
I just ran up to ask like a normal person!
Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Yes, yes, excuse me."
Xu Yan turned and left.
Xu Fenglei turned to look at Yuan Tiangang.
"You go on."
Yuan Tiangang said nonchalantly:
"say what?"
Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows and said:
"What did you say?"
"Didn't I just say that! If a person knows that he is going to die, what should he prepare for? What should he prepare for?"
Has Yuan Tiangang lost his memory?
Need to help him remember?
"what to prepare?"
Yuan Tiangang asked rhetorically.
Xu Fenglei: "..."
boom!
"Yuan Tiangang! Are you kidding me?"
He slammed the table violently, and his whole body looked like a wild beast!
"Say it! Say it quickly!"
"Believe it or not, I buried you alive!"
Xu Fenglei got angry and pointed at Yuan Tiangang's nose and cursed.
However, Yuan Tiangang seemed to be as unafraid of boiling water as that dead pig. No matter how Xu Fenglei cursed, he pretended not to hear.
It wasn't until Xu Fenglei was about to take action that Li Chunfeng stopped him.
"Oh, principal, principal, principal!"
He advised,
"It's not like you don't understand the rules of metaphysics!"
"Don't force me, Lao Yuan, okay? It's God's will! Even if he tells you that method now, it won't work!"
"So, it's really not necessary. Just calm down, calm down..."
After Li Chunfeng tried his best to comfort him, Xu Fenglei sat down again.
But his chest was still rising and falling.
He knew... Just now Yuan Tiangang was talking about the key point, but Xu Yan suddenly ran in and interrupted.
That means... God doesn't want him to say it!
Even if you force yourself to say it, it will definitely not work! Anyway, the person who said it may still suffer retribution!
Metaphysical things...that's it!
Xu Fenglei was extremely anxious just now, so he ignored the 'hidden rules' and pressed questions like crazy.
Now that Li Chunfeng has said this, there is no point in continuing to pester him...
"Is it really...there is nothing we can do?"
Xu Fenglei covered his face in frustration, and his mood hit rock bottom.
Yuan Tiangang stared at Xu Fenglei for a long time before saying:
"headmaster."
"Let me take you to visit my uncle."
"I always feel like there's something wrong with you, but I can't tell you... Maybe it's because my cultivation is shallow."
"Ask my uncle to take a look.",
Xu Fenglei raised his head and rolled his eyes.
"I don't have time to care about what's wrong with me now! I just want to save the queen's life! I have no interest in other nonsense!"
He said impatiently,
"next time!"
He said before getting up and leaving.
But Yuan Tiangang also stood up at this moment.
"Principal, listen to me, sometimes it may be wrong or wrong."
He advised,
"You won't suffer any loss if you go and take a look."
"Shall I contact you?"
Xu Fenglei: "..."
He wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he finally nodded.
"Well, Yuan Shoucheng is better than both of you. Maybe he has other ways."
"Please make an appointment for me! Just for these two days!"
Medically sentenced to death, he could only place his hope in metaphysics. After all, he was a metaphysic himself, so he naturally believed in metaphysics to change his life.
Of course, metaphysics is not a panacea.
It is impossible to live forever.
But it is still possible to save an abnormal death.
Yuan Tiangang nodded repeatedly.
"well……"
The two stood up, and Xu Fenglei was about to leave when he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside:
"Master, Master!"
"Why are you here! I worked so hard to find you!"
"Hurry, come into the palace with me! The prince has been thrown into a prison by your majesty!"
Xu Fenglei: "?!"
He looked up suddenly and saw Changsun Wuji running up in a hurry, grabbing his hand and walking out!
"What did you say?!"
Xu Fenglei doubted his ears.
"The prince was sent to prison?!"
