Wang Jinglue shook his head and said, "However, the Academy has existed for thousands of years. If something were to happen, it would have happened hundreds of years ago. I don't think it would have been left in our time."
Xu Shi said, "That's because there has only been one Headmaster in the Academy for thousands of years. Only the Headmaster can teach students who are capable of shaking the Tang Empire."
Wang Jinglue thought of the Natural Stream Magical Finger that the fat young man in the Chang 'an Local Government had casually displayed. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Shi said coldly, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the destinies that Haotian has arranged for human beings. If the Headmaster is still alive, we don't have to worry about him. However, if he is, you must not hand over the safety of Chang 'an and the Tang Empire to Ning Que. I don't care what you do, you must take back the array eye."
Wang Jinglue remained silent. He Mingchi's yellow oiled-paper umbrella did not completely block his hearing. Moreover, he knew what the Imperial Center Administration wanted from the little handmaiden.
"Why are you so insistent?" He could not help but ask.
Xu Shi squinted as he recalled the past. The deep wrinkles on his face were like gullies that had been washed by the rain. He said in a hoarse voice, "Because the Academy once had a Madman Ke. I don't want another Madman Ning to appear in the world. Any madman may cause the entire Tang Empire to die with them."
After saying this, the old general began to cough violently. His painful coughs echoed in the spacious room, like the sound of a war drum on the battlefield that was gradually breaking down. After a long time, he finally straightened his body with difficulty.
…
…
The Tang Emperor, Li Zhongyi, sat on the couch and looked at his younger brother calmly. He listened carefully to his explanation. Suddenly, he frowned in pain and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief to stop his coughing.
"I don't know why you are so angry. Even if it's because of your friendship with Master Yan Se, it doesn't make sense. However, the Imperial Center Administration and the Southern Gate Temple asked the little handmaiden not because they are against Ning Que or the Academy. The key is that those things are too important to be left outside the palace."
Prince Li Peiyan did not notice the pained expression on the Emperor's face. However, he did not hear any sound coming from the direction of the couch after explaining seriously for a long time. He could not help but feel a little anxious. He continued, "That little maidservant herself is very strange. The Divine Priest of Light has been with her for so long in the Old Brush Pen Shop. I always feel that there is something strange about this matter."
He looked up at His Majesty and said seriously, "After being reprimanded by my brother, I have deeply repented and understood the foundation of the Tang Empire. However, I came to the palace at the invitation of the West-Hill with a different idea. The Divine Hall wants to summon the little maidservant back to Peach Mountain, and it seems that they have no evil intentions. According to the information of the Imperial Center Administration, the Divine Hall even intends to let the little maidservant inherit the position of the Divine Priest of Light. That little maidservant is a Tang and Ning Que's maidservant. If she could inherit the position of Great Divine Priest of Light in the future, it would be good for the empire. "
"That depends on whether Ning Que is willing or not."
The Emperor thought for a moment, then shook his head and waved his hand for Li Peiyan to leave.
…
…
The dim winter sunlight shone on the smooth gold bricks on the ground, and then on the gorgeous furnishings in the quiet bedchamber, forming hundreds of beautiful dark paintings.
His Majesty looked at the vase of plum blossoms in front of the bed, and a smile appeared on his lips. Then he bent down and coughed violently. At this time, the prince had already left the palace, and there was no one else in the palace. As the monarch of a country, he finally did not need to suppress himself, so his cough seemed to be particularly painful, or rather, happy.
The golden curtain slightly swayed, and the Empress walked out with a bowl of medicine. She slowly sat beside him, stretched out her plump arm and patted his back, and gently said, "Drink the medicine."
The couple in the Tang Palace was really an anomaly among the emperors and empresses in the empire for thousands of years. They had a deep relationship, and had never been separated since the death of the former empress. Now there were even no other concubines in the palace, and they stuck together like newlyweds in daily life. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had long been accustomed to the way the emperor and empress got along, so they had long been far away during the feeding time.
The Emperor took the bowl and looked at the black medicine soup in the bowl. He frowned and said, "I'm a little tired of drinking it for so many years."
The Empress persuaded, "This is the order of the dean, Your Majesty must drink it."
The Emperor sighed helplessly, took the medicine soup, and drank it in one gulp. Then he grabbed a handkerchief and carelessly wiped his mouth.
The Empress took the handkerchief and put it in her sleeve. When she pulled out her hand from the sleeve, there was a green leaf candy in her palm. She skillfully fed it to the Emperor. It seemed that she had often done this over the years.
The Emperor held the cool candy in his mouth and leaned on the Empress's arms. He comfortably squinted his eyes and said, "This kind of life is really comfortable. I wouldn't trade it for being an emperor."
The Empress chuckled and said, "You're an emperor and you're still so talkative."
As she spoke, she gently punched the Emperor and then patted his back to soothe his breath.
The Emperor smiled and said, "I can't be talkative? That's why I said I wouldn't trade it for being an emperor. "
He thought of Li Peiyan's previous report and raised his eyebrows. He laughed and said, "In comparison, I do envy Ning Que. That guy is luckier than me. He can learn from the Headmaster of the Academy and he can be talkative. Now it seems that the little maidservant beside him is much better than the girl beside me. At least she doesn't force him to drink medicine every day."
Hearing Ning Que's name, the Empress smiled but did not say anything.
The Emperor sat up straight and looked at her. He said, "Although I hate that old bastard Wei Guangming to the core, I also admire and respect his ability. Ning Que's maidservant actually has the Opportunity to become his successor. It's really amazing. When there's a chance, summon her to the palace and see what's so special about this little maidservant. At the same time, comfort her. After all, she must have suffered a lot today. Ning Que won't say anything on the surface, but he must have his own thoughts."
The Empress nodded and said softly, "I'll arrange it."
The Emperor looked at her, who was as gentle as usual, and suddenly said, "Let Zhuge resign by himself."
The Empress was patting his back. When she heard this, her right hand stiffened. Zhuge Wuren of the Imperial Center Administration had always fawned on her. This was never a secret in the palace. Then she continued to pat his back and said calmly, "I know."
The Emperor looked at her eyes and said after a moment of silence, "The imperial court has already reprimanded Tuyang City. It's a big crime to mobilize troops without an imperial edict. I wonder how Xiahou is going to explain it to me this time."
The Empress's eyelashes fluttered slightly. This involved her brother, who loved her the most, and she did not know what else she could do except to remain silent.
The Emperor looked at her tightly pursed lips and sighed softly. He said, "The Devil's Doctrine believes in power. They are silent in the world and do not meet Haotian. They are the most stubborn and fierce. You have been so stubborn since then, let alone him. I'm afraid Xiahou is still not willing to retreat this time. "
The Empress raised her head and looked at his eyes calmly. She said, "I will write to persuade him."
The Emperor nodded and said, "That's good."
The Empress suddenly said, "His Highness said he did not understand why the military was angry. In my opinion, many people in the imperial court are wary of the Academy and the Academy after the departure of the Headmaster. Your Majesty should pay attention to this undercurrent."
Before the Imperial Astronomer made the comment that the country would not be peaceful under the night curtain, the Empress was often seen in the Imperial Study of the Tang Empire reviewing memorials for the Emperor. After that, the public pressure of the engagement between Princess Li Yu and the Chanyu of the Golden Tribe of the grassland made the Empress much quieter. She never dealt with the affairs of the state again. However, when she was in private with the Emperor, she would occasionally express her opinions as she did many years ago.
The Emperor respected his wife's opinion very much because he knew she had the ability to do so. He shook his head and said with a smile, "I will not be wary of the Academy. In fact, in my opinion, any Tangs who do not fully trust the Academy are not qualified to sit at the top of the empire. Because it shows that they do not understand the Tang Empire at all."
"As for Xu Shi …" The Emperor frowned slightly. He did not have any good way to deal with this hard-working military general. He said, "He is loyal to the country and has made many contributions in the past decades. However, his temperament is a little cold and easily angered. Moreover, his lung disease is getting worse. I don't know how long he will live. It is inevitable for a dying man to see the world in a gloomy light. It is normal for him to be vigilant and uneasy."
The Empress wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. There was some worry in her eyes.
The Emperor held her hand and said with a smile, "You are still young. Our child is still young. So you should not be so gloomy. You must remember that without the Headmaster of the Academy and the Academy, we could not be together. The Academy is as important to the Tang Empire as you are to me. I will never doubt or hesitate. "
The Empress smiled. Then she tilted her body slightly. When the Emperor wasn't paying attention, she took out the handkerchief she had stuffed in before. Using the light to examine it, she didn't see any bloodstains. Only then did the smile on her face become truly happy.
She used to be the Saintess of the Diabolism and was now the Empress of the Tang Empire. However, she thought that she was just an ordinary woman in the palace. She did not want to think about other things. She only wanted her husband and son to be safe and happy.
…
…
"The Academy's entry into the human realm will make many people vigilant and uneasy. For example, the military generals who have taken protecting the Tang Empire as their mission. Because it is the first time that they have found a threat in the world that cannot be solved by force."
"But for some people in Chang 'an, the Academy's entry into the human realm is a precious opportunity for them. They can use the Academy's power or attitude to fight for things that they are not sure to get."
Under the dark eaves of the Princess Mansion was a terrace made of nanmu. There was a copper brazier on the terrace. Li Yu looked at the charcoal in the brazier quietly and began to tell Prince Li Huiyuan a story that had not yet happened.

(I will write five more chapters today. This is the first chapter. Then I will explain that I really don't have a manuscript. I also want to have such a glorious thing as a manuscript. However, everyone knows that I have been stupid for so many years. So I can only work hard these days. I will try to finish the second chapter before eight.) (To be continued.
