Li Xuan's eyes passed over Wei Gong, and she and Wei Heng looked at each other, and there was a subtle communication in their eyes.
Wei Heng slightly cupped his hands in front of Li Xuan with a solemn expression, and Li Xuan nodded lightly.
Monk Fang Qin on the side couldn't help but change his expression slightly when he saw this scene.
"This matter is not urgent for the time being. Wei Weng can think about it carefully." Li Xuan smiled and said: "I will leave Hangzhou tomorrow. What happens after that will take a long time. Even the official documents from the imperial court will take several months. After that, there will be plenty of time to think about it.”
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Wei Gong's expression changed instantly.
Time waits for no one. Although it seems that there is still time, when everything comes to an end, the opportunity will be gone.
However, Wei Gong couldn't say much at this time, because even though the matter was like this, the real decision-making power on this matter was not in his hands.
Only Hong An, and the Hong family behind him, can make the decision.
And even if Wei Gong agreed at this time, Li Xuan would have to delay for a while.
Hong An wanted to settle the matter without even showing his face. How could it be so easy?
Just as Wei Gong's expression changed complicatedly, Wei Heng took over from his father and pulled Li Xuan to a middle-aged scholar with an elegant temperament wearing a light green silk robe and a gray silk scarf wrapped around his head.
"Your Majesty, this is Mr. Gao Xiang, courtesy name Fenglan, a professor of state studies. He has a thorough knowledge of the Spring and Autumn Period and is good at epigraphy. He is also good at landscapes and flowers." Weiheng slightly cupped his hands towards Gao Xiang, then stood beside him and said: " Brother Gao is a native of Bohai County, Gao Yue, King of Qinghe in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and is of the same clan as Gao Weng, the former Prime Minister of the State of Xu."
"Gao Fenglan has met the prince." Gao Xiang saluted Li Xuan seriously, looking gentle and elegant.
"Gao family!" Li Xuan said with a somewhat reminiscing look: "When I was in court, I once met Uncle Gao, the governor of Youzhou. I wonder what I call Mr. Gao and Uncle Gao?"
The governor of Youzhou, the official Gao Zhenxing, the fourth son of Xu Guogong, Gao Shilian, and the fourth brother of the former governor of Yongzhou, Gao Jiuxing.
"That's Uncle Fenglan." Gao Xiang raised his hands and faced the north.
Li Xuan looked at Gao Xiang, his eyes flickering, and then he prompted the entry but there was no movement.
Li Xuan was slightly relieved that he was not from the Tianyin Sect. He had always been very wary of people from the Gao Shilian family.
A Thousand-faced Buddha almost brought the entire Luoyang to a state of turmoil. Later, An Rongxiang also caused a storm in Yangzhou. There is also a Bian Zhang who is still alive and dead, and Mr. He who has rushed to Yangzhou. , none of the four elders of Tianyin Sect is easy to offend.
Gao Xiang and Gao Shilian are from the same clan, and they are also from the same clan as Gao Yao, and they are also brothers.
"That's Brother Gao." Li Xuan slightly cupped her hands towards Gao Xiang and asked curiously, "I wonder how long Brother Gao has been working in Hangzhou? It's thousands of miles away from Jizhou to Hangzhou?"
"I don't dare to be called the prince like this. I have been transferred from Yangzhou to Hangzhou three years ago. If I can get the top choice in the civil service examination next year, I can return to the imperial capital." Gao Xiang said this with a slight hesitation: "My prince, I don't know. Brother Hong An's matter can be eased."
Hong An was demoted because of his frivolous academic style in Hangzhou Prefecture and his conflict with Li Xuan. This was just the result.
However, once the evaluation of the frivolous academic style of Hangzhou Zhouxue spreads, Gao Xiang, who is also a professor of Zhouxue, will be implicated.
Gao Xiang didn't hear what Li Xuan and Wei Gong said before, so he asked again.
Li Xuan glanced at Wei Heng, then shook his head slightly and said: "This matter is not my king's insistence. To put it in words that Brother Gao can't understand, it may not be a good thing if this matter comes out today. What will happen in the future? It would be even harder to say."
What will happen in the future?
Gao Xiang's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hands to Li Xuan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. I understand."
After a slight hesitation, Li Xuan said: "There may not be no chance in this matter, but it depends on the choice!"
Gao Xiang's eyes lit up and he immediately bowed and said, "I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."
The prefecture and county schools are dominated by wine sacrifices, and are followed by left and right professors. Hong An is one of them and Gao Xiang is the second.
The mystery here
Those who are willing can find it with a little thought.
Standing upright, Gao Xiang pointed to the many students on the side and said, "This is an outstanding talent in Hangzhou in recent years. Although there are many students from poor families, their solid academic style and superb knowledge are unparalleled by others."
"I've met you all!" Li Xuan said to these poor students very seriously.
They were different from those who greeted him at Yumen Pier before. They were all children from poor families.
In fact, real direct descendants of aristocratic families would not go to the state to study.
Like Yu Yong and Lu Xiangxian, the reason why they study in Hangzhou Prefecture is actually just because they came to Hangzhou to study, and Hangzhou Prefecture Study is just a temporary stopover for them.
"Your Majesty, this is Brother Du Liudu!" Gao Xiang pointed to the young master standing behind everyone, wearing a white moiré silk robe and a green hat, with a soft face, and introduced to Li Xuan: "Brother Du He comes from Chang'an and is a descendant of the Du family in Jingzhao. He is currently studying at a state school."
"I've met Brother Du." Li Xuan bowed her hands to Du Liu respectfully, but her eyes turned to Gao Xiang.
What, Brother Du, this is obviously a woman, okay?
Gao Xiang shrugged helplessly, Jingzhao Du Clan was not someone he could offend at will.
"I've met the prince!" Du Liu knew how to advance and retreat. He didn't feel arrogant because of his Du family background in Jingzhao. Instead, he retreated after saluting.
Li Xuan nodded, and then looked at the crowd. A group of children from all ethnic groups wearing various colorful clothes were standing there. They looked at Li Xuan with very complicated eyes.
Yesterday, a group of them went to the pier to greet Li Xuan, but the final result was that everyone was extremely uncomfortable.
These people belong to the non-direct descendants of various aristocratic families in Hangzhou, or are the marginal descendants of the direct line.
It was precisely because of this that they came to the dock to greet Li Xuan.
The real direct descendants of the aristocratic family know yesterday's taboos, so how can they act recklessly?
Li Xuan nodded calmly to those people as a greeting, and then walked back again.
"Weng Wei, let's have a feast. Although today's banquet is rare, the situation in Wuzhou is urgent, and I still need to arrive in Wuzhou in time." Li Xuan slightly arched her hands towards Wei Gong, who immediately bowed respectfully.
As Kui Gong waved his hand, dozens of beautiful maids immediately came forward carrying various delicacies.
Drinking and drinking are mixed, and cups and plates are in a mess.
What happened before is never mentioned again.
Li Xuan sat on the main seat, looking at the various people at the banquet, with a slight sneer in her heart.
Whether it's Mr. Qi or the Wei family, they are just the first batch of people to die when this change comes once every twenty years. The layout of the entire Wuyue land will be reshuffled soon.
Some families will fall completely, and some families will take advantage of the situation to rise. The outcome depends on how everyone chooses their own force field.
At this moment, Mr. Qi suddenly stood up from behind everyone.
In full view of everyone, Mr. Qi walked up to the high seat with a solemn expression, holding a wine glass.
Standing firmly in front of Li Xuan.
At this moment, everyone present focused their attention.
"Hangzhou Qi Ming, I have met the King of Nanchang." Mr. Qi looked solemnly, holding the wine glass in both hands and looking at Li Xuan.
"I originally thought that Young Master Qi would not show up tonight, but I never thought that Young Master would come anyway." Li Xuan looked at Young Master Qi with a half-smile, and placed one hand on the wine glass beside her, stroking it gently.
"Qi Ming knows he is guilty and does not dare to ask His Majesty for forgiveness. However, many of my classmates are innocent. I ask Your Majesty to be considerate and generous and let them go." Mr. Qi bowed deeply, without waiting for Li Xuan's reply, and then He stood up and said, "I'm going to drink three drinks as a penalty. I hope the prince will be considerate."
As he spoke, Mr. Qi drank the wine in the glass with one hand, and then reached for the wine bottle in front of Li Xuan...
"Slow down!" Li Xuan suddenly spoke, with a sneer on his face: "Go back and get your own wine flask, don't touch my king's, lest when I am poisoned to death, others will suspect you. .”
With Li Xuan's words, the already deserted lobby suddenly became dead silent.
The corner of Qi Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he held his hand again: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. Who in the entire city of Hangzhou dares to be disrespectful to Your Majesty?"
"No?" Li Xuan looked Qi Ming up and down, leaned back slightly, looked at him and said directly: "Mr. Qi, as far as I know, you are not a stupid person. What happened yesterday was just because you wanted to pull him off." It is human nature to step on me to enhance your reputation. Hangzhou Mansion and the central government will punish you accordingly. I am just a little confused..."
Having said this, Li Xuan leaned forward slightly, stared at Qi Ming and said, "What happened to those group of female prostitutes yesterday? Don't say you don't understand. The Tianyin Sect has always been good at seducing people with their women, especially in Hangzhou. The focus of its business is that at this sensitive moment, you are still flirting with it. Are you involuntarily doing so, or are you doing it on purpose?"
After Li Xuan said what he said, the entire lobby was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Mr. Qi. Some were surprised, some were horrified, some were in disbelief, and some were extremely terrified.
Mr. Qi stood there, eyes downcast, lips pursed, holding a wine glass in one hand, trembling slightly.
He didn't expect that Li Xuan would reveal all the details behind all this in front of so many people.
Tianyin Sect, these three words, many Hangzhou residents have not even heard of this name for twenty years.
Even with the current changes in wind and rain, many people have not felt it, let alone connected it to the Tianyin Sect.
But now, as soon as Li Xuan opened his mouth, many people immediately felt a wave of blood and blood rushing towards their faces, which was suffocating.
Especially those who went to the dock with Mr. Qi to greet Li Xuan. They never thought that Mr. Qi would be connected with the Tianyin Sect.
They knew exactly what this meant.
Mr. Qi is finished.
