Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

When the country was first established, Emperor Taizu went to Yujing Palace in person. It was rumored outside that Gongshu Wuzhi left a method to communicate between heaven and earth in Yujing Palace. It was through the method left by Gongshu that Emperor Taizu communicated with heaven and earth, which led to the unprecedented territory of the empire and its continued strength and prosperity.

Since Emperor Taizu, the gates of Yujing Palace have been tightly closed, and it has almost cut off contact with the outside world. Even the successive successors of the empire have not been able to knock on the door of Yujing Palace. The general saying of the outside world is that when Emperor Taizu visited Yujing Palace, Yujing Palace leaked the secret. In order to avoid the sect from being punished by heaven, the entire sect closed its gates and isolated itself from the outside world.

The outside world had no way of verifying the truth of these rumors, but several princes knew something about it. It was precisely because the gates of the Yujing Palace were tightly closed that the outside world could not get in at all. As a result, the Yujing Palace became more and more mysterious in the eyes of the outside world.

After hearing what Ye Changyan said just now, he had been to Yujing Palace and seemed to have looked through the classics in Yujing Palace. Several princes were a little surprised. Their first thought was that they underestimated Cai Zhengqing. They didn't expect that Cai Zhengqing actually had such a relationship with Yujing Palace.

Think about Cai Zhengqing's five disciples who have already entered officialdom. Although they were originally only fifth or sixth grade officials, they were all in positions of real power. In the major personnel reshuffle after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cai Zhengqing's five disciples, contrary to everyone's expectations, were all promoted by His Majesty himself.

Compared with his successor Xie Daosheng, Cai Zhengqing was much more than a little bit superior in terms of personal talent and ability to manage the Imperial College. Most importantly, Cai Zhengqing had many students and old friends, and students all over the world respected Cai Zhengqing as a great scholar of the contemporary era.

At this time, several princes couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They never expected that a fourth-rank Imperial College chief academic officer who had retired for many years would have such a great influence. It seems that the officials who are related to Cai Zhengqing will become the targets of all parties to win over.

At this moment, the King of England laughed.

"If Master Ye saw the relevant books introducing Yu Hu Chun in Yu Jing Palace, then it is not surprising."

The King of England's words brought everyone back to their senses, and then they listened to what the King of England continued to say.

"Everyone, please don't be restrained. In addition to the few pots of precious chrysanthemums that have just been placed in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, I have planted many rare species in my garden. You may as well take a look around and appreciate them."

After hearing what the King of England said, everyone dispersed in twos and threes. Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng looked at each other and were about to walk around the garden along the corridor of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, but they were stopped by the King of England.

"You two brothers, please slow down. I have something I want to ask you."

The King of England was of such a noble status that he actually used the word "ask for advice" to ask Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng. This made the three princes sitting next to the King of England and many royal family members a little confused for a moment.

When King Ying saw that Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng were stopped by him, he greeted his two sons with a smile, entertained the three princes in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and a group of royal family members, and then he stood up and walked towards Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng. Only his personal attendants followed King Ying.

As everyone looked at him in surprise, the King of England walked leisurely, two steps ahead. Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng also followed the King of England at a leisurely pace, walking through the corridor and strolling along Lianxin Lake.

From a distance, I could see the King of England laughing from time to time, but I could not hear anything about the conversation between the few people.

The King of England put his hands behind his back and walked slowly along the corridor. Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng followed quietly beside him. As soon as they walked through the corridor, they heard the King of England speak.

"Mr. Ye's The Female Prince Consort has caused quite a stir in the entire Shengjing City."

Unexpectedly, the King of England would suddenly bring up the topic of "The Female Prime Minister", and from the King of England's tone, it seemed that he already knew that "The Female Prime Minister" was written by Ye Changyan. For a moment, Ye Changyan was caught off guard and felt a little abrupt.

At this time, Ye Changyan's mind was racing with thoughts. "The Female Prime Minister" was written by him, and only Liang Jingcheng and Li Ping knew it. Liang Jingcheng was not important, but Ye Changyan did not doubt Li Ping. Soon Ye Changyan figured out the reason. "The Female Prime Minister" was printed by Zhongzheng Book Company, and the King of England held the largest share of Zhongzheng Book Company. It was not difficult for him to know the details.

"Your Majesty, I am too kind. It is just some after-dinner talk."

"Master Ye, there is no need to be so modest. I also like to listen to books on weekdays. I have read the two volumes of "The Female Prince Consort" that have been published. The story is indeed novel and the content is fascinating. I wonder if I can find out from Master Ye today what the subsequent story of the Female Prince Consort will be?"

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng couldn't help but smile. They didn't expect that someone as noble as the King of England would want Ye Changyan to spoil the plot in advance.

Ye Changyan simply sorted out the subsequent direction of the story and told it roughly to the King of England. The King of England listened with great interest and laughed heartily from time to time.

Everyone who saw King Ying chatting and laughing with Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng from afar was quite curious. Apart from the Dragon Boat Festival archery competition and the award ceremony of the polo match, they had never heard of any interaction between King Ying and these two students from the Imperial College.

At this time, the three princes all speculated that it was possible that the King of Ying and Cai Zhengqing also had some kind of friendship? Previously, the King of Ying personally led Cai Zhengqing and his two disciples to the Lake Center Pavilion and solemnly introduced them to everyone. Now, the King of Ying and Cai Zhengqing's two disciples seemed to get along very well. It seemed that the King of Ying and Cai Zhengqing should have a good relationship.

The King of England took Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng for a walk around Lianxin Lake and looked at all the exotic flowers and plants in the King of England's garden. The King of England also took them to see his proud peony garden. Although the peony season had long passed, the King of England still enthusiastically introduced to them several top-quality peonies in his garden, and invited them to come to the palace next year to see the peonies.

Of course, while strolling in the garden, the King of England also intentionally or unintentionally inquired about the two people's situations, especially about Liang Jingcheng. He asked more detailed questions, such as what kind of books Liang Jingcheng liked to read, what kind of food he liked to eat, and what other sports he was good at besides archery and polo, etc.

Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng were both curious. They didn't know if it was because the King of England had asked Liang Jingcheng what kind of food he liked when they were visiting the garden just now. Many of the dishes that Liang Jingcheng mentioned just now were served at the lunch banquet.
