Lingyun Pavilion is built on a dirt mountain, far away from the flowing clouds in the sky, but it is enough to look down at half of the imperial garden. On the other hand, people in the half of the imperial garden can see Lingyun Pavilion when they look up.

This is the emperor's place of education.

On the fourth morning after Yang Feng came, Han Ruzi went to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. The eunuch Zuo Ji seriously read the empress dowager's imperial edict. The article was very long and the writing was quite elegant. Zuo Ji read it very slowly. He often paused for a while and looked at the emperor thoughtfully. It took him two quarters of an hour to finish it.

After all, the emperor had to read some books and learn some essential skills.

After breakfast, Han Ruzi, escorted by more than 30 eunuchs, headed around the bush to Lingyun Pavilion. Yang Feng and Zuo Ji followed him, followed by the eunuch holding a yellow umbrella in his hand, and then the King of Donghai, who accompanied him as a servant.

After entering the Imperial Garden, some servants joined the team, about fifteen or sixteen. They were not eunuchs, but noble children. They were not old and Han Ruzi didn't know any of them. King Donghai was familiar with several of them, nodding to greet each other, and did not talk to each other.

It is not easy to be an attendant of the emperor. There is at least one ritual official to supervise him at every moment. Any disrespect may be impeached.

Han Ruzi noticed that there were always more eunuchs around him than attendants. The empress dowager obviously did not trust the emperor, nor did she trust people outside the palace.

The escort of the emperor was vast, but most of them were left in Lord Lingyun. Only King Donghai entered the pavilion to accompany him to study, and two eunuchs served him personally.

The room was imitated by the antique system, with no tables and chairs, and the east wing was paved with brocade mats and calligraphy tables, so I could only sit on my knees. The emperor faced the west, and the east shore mats were paved with brocade mats on the west side. The brocade mats were paved with brocade mats, which did not face the emperor, but were tilted towards the northeast.

The emperor's first master was already waiting in another room. When the emperor sat firmly, a eunuch Xuan summoned him into the cabinet, and another eunuch presided over the eunuch meeting ceremony.

There are many rules in the palace, which is as numerous as Yang Fenghe, who entered the palace more than three years ago, had no idea how to master it, so he could only hand it over to an experienced eunuch.

The former Imperial College Priest, the former Prince's Young Tutor, the former Prince's Priest, the former priest of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Cong, an old man in his seventies, walked in from outside with a trembling and faint eyes, but he could accurately determine where the emperor was sitting, standing there, taking a deep breath, suddenly spread his arms, his wide sleeves drooped like bird's wings, paused for a while, and slowly moved his hands to his chest and closed them, saying in a deafening voice: "My minister, Guo Cong, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Although Guo Cong did not kneel down, his etiquette seemed extremely formal. Han Ruzi was frightened at once and didn't know how to deal with it, so he looked at the old eunuch who presided over the etiquette.

The old eunuch raised his hand slightly, signaling the emperor to do nothing, and then pointed his hand at the King of East China.

Except for the Empress Dowager, the emperor could not salute anyone, but the necessary etiquette could not be omitted, so the King of Donghai would do it on his behalf.

The King of Donghai had a gloomy face, knelt up for a long time, and said dullly: "Master Guo was exempted from courtesy and was given a seat."

The eunuch guarding the door immediately turned around and brought a small stool. Guo Cong was too old and could not sit on the table for a long time. He specially prepared a seating bag for him.

Guo Cong sat down and took two heavy breaths. For him, this might be just a moment, but for the students who were listening to the class, it was a long wait, almost exhausting Han Ruzi's good mood.

Guo Cong is a well-known scholar in the world. He reads classics well, especially in the Book of Songs. He does not take books, and speaks them at the beginning. The first article is "Guanju". "Guanju is the virtue of concubines. "A beautiful lady is a good match for gentlemen." He says that a lady is a gentleman, and his righteousness is to promote the virtuous, and he does not mislead his colors..."

Han Ruzi hurriedly opened the book, barely kept up with the progress, glanced inadvertently, and saw that the face of King Donghai was almost sinking out of water. The "virtue of concubines" obviously touched his mind.

Guo Cong was soon immersed in the narrative, first interpreting the meaning, then teaching the words, and then the meaning in the meaning and the word outside the word. In nearly an hour, he didn't finish the eight words "A beautiful lady, a gentleman's good match". Han Ruzi was stunned not long after and wanted to ask questions several times, but the old man couldn't see the emperor's expressions and gestures clearly, and he just kept talking, and became more and more excited, not like a decaying old man at all.

Han Ruzi had no choice but to give up and stared at a spit on the corner of Guo Cong's mouth, wondering why it never fell down.

The morning class was finally finished. Guo Cong said withdrew and the two eunuchs saw him off. Han Ruzi immediately stood up, moved his stiff legs, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to King Donghai: "Is this the case for the old man's lecture? I thought..."

King Donghai snorted heavily, got up and walked out.

"You can't blame me for the enthronement of the queen." Han Ruzi said loudly. Although she didn't trust and didn't like this younger brother, she was unwilling to bear inexplicable accusations.

Donghai King went downstairs without looking back. Two eunuchs came back and asked the emperor to go to another room for lunch.

As usual, the meal was as delicious as chewing wax. After the meal, the eunuch stepped down. Han Ruzi walked to the window and admired the scenery in the imperial garden. Her mood gradually improved. Her eyes swept away casually and she suddenly saw the King of Donghai.

The attendants had a meal where they were having food. At this time, they were gathered in a pavilion to chat, and the King of Donghai was also among them. They were full of energy and could make a laugh every few words. So a polite official came and told everyone not to make noise.

King Donghai was not afraid. As soon as the ritual officer turned around, he made all kinds of strange imitation expressions, which made the attendants laugh.

This is the life that a teenager should have.

Han Ruzi looked at it for a while and tried to remember the appearance and figures of several of the most active people. He had never had a playmate of the same age since he was a child. Compared to talking and laughing, he was more accustomed to meditation.

In the afternoon, I changed a master, who was even older than Guo Cong and couldn't even explain his words. I was teaching "Shangshu". Ancient texts like heavenly books were spit out of his mouth, like a group of bees fleeing from the destroyed beehive, going their separate ways, without any purpose, and a buzzing sound.

This is the master chosen by the Empress Dowager for the emperor. There are five old men in her 60s. She teaches "Poetry", "Book", "Rite", "My Music" and "Yi" respectively, and it is difficult to communicate with them normally.

Han Ruzi did not give up studying. He read it himself if he couldn't understand it. When he met a word he didn't know, he used a pen to circle it. He thought he would always have the chance to ask it clearly.

This happened for several days in a row. He didn't feel that he had received much teaching from the book, and he kept on relying on his strong will.

At noon that day, Donghai King did not go downstairs to meet other servants, but stayed with the emperor and had dinner with him. While the eunuch was packing up the dishes and leaving, he finally spoke: "I have been hired."

"Hmm?" Han Ruzi was a little uncomfortable.

"The palace has already hired the Cui family. When my uncle comes back from Qi, he will be appointed as the queen."

Han Ruzi felt a little sympathetic to Donghai King, "Do you like her very much?"

King Tokai's eyes were blazing fire, "This is not a question of whether he likes it or not. She is mine. Since the novel, both his mother and uncle agreed." King Tokai clenched his fists and said word by word: "I never give my things to others!"

"You are with those servants every day, and haven't you found someone to help you send a message to your mother? Maybe she can help you."

The anger in King Donghai's eyes disappeared completely and he said dejectedly: "My mother wrote a letter to scold me, and asked me to stay in the palace honestly and concentrate on serving the queen mother and... you have changed, everything has changed, just because I did not become emperor, and my mother and uncle have also changed."

Han Ruzi couldn't comfort King Donghai, but thought that things were so absurd. Both he and King Donghai wanted to get each other's life, but they were unable to do it. They were trapped in their own position and envied the other's situation.

"How is the Qi State going on? Will the King of Qi plead guilty?"

"What, did Yang Feng tell you nothing?" King Donghai sneered.

Yang Feng was too busy and had not talked to the emperor for several days. Han Ruzi said: "If things in Qi State are not going well, the enthronement of the queen will cause changes."

King Donghai thought for a while, "There is still a stalemate there, and the King of Qi did not rebel immediately. He denied the accusation and claimed that he was framed by a traitor... but it was useless. The longer it was delayed, the more unfavorable it was against the King of Qi, and he would definitely lose. His uncle will be triumphant... Forget it, I know I don't blame you, but you have to remember, wait for me... I will take back everything that belongs to me sooner or later."

Han Ruzi smiled, "I wish you success."

Han Ruzi understood one thing: the more intense the Cui fights with the Empress Dowager, the more stable his position is. When both sides are in peace, he will be in danger. At least at present, the fighting spirit of Donghai King is more beneficial than disadvantages to him.

That evening, Han Ruzi was sitting in the room. Yang Feng walked in and held a stack of books in his arms, all of which were the classics the emperor read in Lingyun Pavilion.

Yang ordered the palace maid to step down, put the book on the table, opened a book casually, turned around and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty has drawn a lot of circles on it."

Han Ruzi's face was a little red, "I don't recognize some words."

"Well, I told the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother allowed me to teach you how to read."

"That's great!" Han Ruzi was not happy about literacy, but about being able to talk to real adults.

Yang Feng put down the book again and approached the emperor, "Learning is just elementary school. Your foundation has not been laid well, and now you can only make up for it. It's useless. I want to teach you something else."

"What should Mr. Yang teach me?" Han Ruzi's enthusiasm for learning increased again.

"History Book."

"History Book?"

"The emperor learns from history. Reading history should be one of the most important lessons of the emperor. The empress dowager saved it, so I had to teach it privately. Just let Your Majesty know about this and don't leak it."

Han Ruzi nodded repeatedly, and he would not reveal a word.

Yang Feng had no history books on hand, and he taught them all based on memory. He didn't want to teach the emperor official history. He first picked up a book and pointed out the emperor to recognize a few words, and then said: "Your Majesty has entered the cabinet to study, and he has come into contact with more and more foreign ministers. Why not tell me a story about Taizu's interactions with his ministers."

Han Ruzi likes to listen to stories very much, but he thinks that Taizu's reference is not very meaningful, "I haven't come into contact with anyone..."

"Don't worry, everyone is observing. When the time comes, there will be contact, but I want to remind Your Majesty of something first."

"Please say it, Mr. Yang."

"Don't believe that the first person who takes the initiative to contact His Majesty must be a ulterior motive."

Han Ruzi was stunned. He remembered clearly that the first person in the palace to take the initiative to contact him was Yang Feng.
