Weiyang Palace.
"I have met the Emperor."
"Meet the Queen Mother."
"Master Bu, please don't be so polite." Emperor Feng personally stood up and helped Bu Suanzi up, saying kindly, "Master, you have come from afar and must be exhausted from the journey. Come, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Emperor Feng."
Bu Suanzi raised his hand and bowed.
He sat next to Ning Que.
There was no one else in the hall.
Fengdi, the Empress Dowager and Zongzheng Ning Xiao.
Even among ordinary people, there are clans, and the clan leader is called Zongzhang or Zonglao. The Zongzheng is the clan leader of the Dafeng imperial family, and even the Feng Emperor has to address him as Da Zongbo. Ning Xiao is the uncle of the late emperor, so if people use the common name, Ning Que would have to call him Second Uncle.
Ning Xiao had fought extensively in the past, saving the late emperor three times and earning him the title of Duke of the Protectorate. As the Chief of the Imperial Clan, he oversaw the Imperial Clan Office. His duties were simple: maintaining a roster of the nine clans of the emperor. He compiled the Imperial Clan Register regularly, recording the names of the royal children, including legitimate and illegitimate, their titles, birthdates, marriages, posthumous titles, and burials...
Ning Xiao is now white-haired and over eighty years old, but he is still in good health and manages the entire royal family in an orderly manner.
During the previous emperor's time, the former crown prince committed a grave error. It was he who advocated for the dethronement of the crown prince and the appointment of a new one. He then joined forces with the old Prince Ning to die in remonstration, forcing the previous emperor to make the decision to appoint a new crown prince!
It can be said that Ning Xiao also has the merit of following the dragon!
As a veteran minister of three dynasties, his position is as stable as Mount Tai!
The Queen Mother also looked at Bu Suanzi.
"Master Bu, did you get a good rest last night?"
"Yes, very good."
"That's all right." The Queen Mother smiled. "The main reason I summoned the Pavilion Master to the palace this time is to discuss the marriage. Xiao Ning'er and Qing He are childhood sweethearts, but matters as important as marriage must be decided by the father, mother, and matchmaker. If the Pavilion Master wants to marry off his daughter, I must ask for his opinion."
"No need to bother."
Bu Suanzi was also very polite. He clasped his fists and raised his hands and said, "Since it is Prince Ning who is getting married, then we can follow the Dafeng marriage system. I have lived in the mountains for a long time and don't understand these rules. Let the Emperor Feng and the Queen Mother decide. I have never been married in my life and don't understand love. As long as they can grow old together and respect each other as equals, that's all that matters."
"That's fine too."
The Queen Mother nodded.
"Zongzheng, I leave this matter to you."
"promise."
Ning Xiao nodded and took note of it.
The Queen Mother also knew Bu Suanzi's character.
But since a prince is getting married, he must have what he deserves.
When Ning Que married Lin Xianhong, he was still just the Crown Prince, not yet heir to the throne, so the wedding didn't need to be grand. But now he was a prince, and this wasn't just about Ning Que's personal pride.
It is also related to the dignity of the Dafeng royal family!
"Then we'll discuss the details later."
"I must satisfy the Pavilion Master." Emperor Feng smiled and jokingly said, "Thank you for your help yesterday in completely banning Goguryeo."
“It’s not really a help.”
Bu Suanzi shook his head.
Strictly speaking, he is not helping Dafeng.
He just looked down on Goguryeo's way of doing things.
Such cultural thieves should be banned!
In fact, many small countries were influenced by Dafeng.
They all implemented the Dafeng system internally.
Including the text used.
As long as they agree with where it comes from, Dafeng is actually happy to see this.
What I’m afraid of is a country like Goguryeo.
Not only do they steal culture, they also refuse to acknowledge it.
They even turned the tables and made it into the origin of the universe.
"Haha, the Pavilion Master really has a generous personality." The Emperor Feng didn't care at all and joked, "I remember that the Pavilion Master is best at innate divination. He is said to be able to predict things like a god, to be able to predict things with great foresight, and to be able to see into the secrets of heaven!"
“It’s not that exaggerated.”
"Master Bu is very good at face reading. Could you please take a look for me?"
"Face reading isn't accurate." Bu Suanzi looked around. "I don't have my yarrow and eight trigrams with me, so I can't tell the emperor's fortune. Even if I could read his face, I'm afraid it wouldn't be accurate."
"It's okay, just take a look."
"Then I'll give it a try."
Bu Suanzi turned around.
Look carefully at Emperor Feng.
His frown grew deeper and deeper.
After a long time, he shook his head gently.
"how?"
Emperor Feng still had a smile on his face.
Bu Suanzi stood up and said seriously, "Emperor Feng's face is indescribably noble. There is a hegemon star between his eyebrows, destined to achieve great hegemony. However, a general's success comes at the cost of countless lives, and in the end, he will be like a lone boat on the ocean. Emperor Feng must remember that everything has cause and effect. You have repeatedly provoked wars, and you will inevitably suffer backlash. In the end, you may very well become a tyrant because of your excessive military spending!"
“…”
“…”
Ning Que's mouth twitched and he quickly stood up.
Good man, how dare you say that?!
Can't you just say nice things?
Isn't this a slap in the face of Emperor Feng?
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Ning Que looked embarrassed and said quickly, "My teacher has no ill intentions, and his predictions may not be accurate."
"No problem." Emperor Feng still had a smile on his face. He raised his hand and said in return, "I will remember everything you said today."
"That's good."
Bu Suanzi nodded indifferently.
It's as if nothing was done.
Emperor Feng smiled. "After the poetry competition ended last night, Goguryeo envoy Park Duanchang submitted a letter to me, accusing you of being unwilling to accept defeat and deliberately cheating. They even teamed up with the Shenji Pavilion to ban them, using this as an opportunity to exert pressure. This is completely unbecoming of a great power."
"If war can be avoided, I would not want it. But Pavilion Master should also know why China continues to be ravaged by war. Because every nation has its own ambitions, and the most untrustworthy thing in this world is the human heart. If we want peace on earth, there is only one way to go!"
"Unify China and bring peace to the world!"
