The three of them walked into the main hall together, and as soon as they sat down, someone brought them tea. Lin Jiuxi silently looked around the house and sighed inwardly that it was even better than the prince's mansion in the capital.

He is majestic and has the demeanor of a great man. I think this old gentleman must have some extraordinary qualities to be admired so much by Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing chatted with the old gentleman for a while and then talked about the court affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom. Both of them sighed.

The reason why Nangong Jing was so respectful to his teacher was because he was a veteran who had assisted the Nanzhao Kingdom for three dynasties.

He was also the late emperor's teacher and had taught Nangong Jing since childhood. He was very famous in the Nanzhao Kingdom.

His name is Ouyang Chi.

This shows how much the late emperor expected of Nangong Jing.

The old man proposed in the court that the previous emperor had made a will before he was poisoned, and asked the emperor to produce the will. It was such a reasonable request, but he was severely reprimanded by the emperor who had just ascended the throne. He thought that the old man was disobedient to the court and dismissed him in front of all the civil and military officials.

When Ouyang Chi learned that the previous emperor was suddenly poisoned, he had doubts in his heart, especially when the current emperor boarded the plane in a hurry and looked uneasy. He had an idea in his mind and deliberately asked this question in the court. He expected that the new emperor would punish him, but he did not expect that he would be dismissed from his position as the imperial teacher.

It shocked the whole court at that time. Ouyang Chi was somewhat unwilling to accept it, but he had to consider the family behind him more, so he went with the flow in the court and resigned.

He didn't even stay in the capital that day and left immediately.

Now when talking about this matter again, Nangong Jing couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, when you were angry in the court, you resigned and returned home. Was it intentional or had you already seen through the court?"

The old gentleman stroked his beard and smiled as he said, "In fact, when the late emperor was suddenly poisoned, I also had my doubts in my heart, but at that time all the civil and military officials were anxious about how a country could be without a master. No one took it seriously. I directly asked about the poisoning of the late emperor in the court, and the new emperor was panicked and furious. It can be seen that there was a reason for this. I also saw it at the time, but there was no evidence. When he asked me to resign, I immediately resigned and left. I guess I was afraid of losing my head."

The teacher in front of him was a master of three dynasties. It was simply ridiculous for him to say that he was afraid of losing his head.

When the late emperor was implementing the new national policy, many officials tried to obstruct it. Only the old gentleman gave his full support and cursed and tried to stop him in the court.

Of course, when the late emperor made mistakes in certain matters, the teacher would point them out on the spot without mercy. The late emperor was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he never said a word against the teacher.

It is said that honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears but is beneficial to one's conduct. Sir, you deserve the title of teacher and you deserve the world's respect.

But no one expected that the new emperor would dare to dismiss him directly. This was simply treason, and he was not afraid of being ridiculed by the world.

It has been many years since the incident, but it seems like it happened yesterday when I talk about it now.

Nangong Jing suddenly asked, "If this happened again, would you still ask about the poisoning of the late emperor and his will in the court?"

The old man nodded firmly and said, "Of course, I have a clear conscience. Even if it happens again, I will ask."

Nangong Jin has lived in a mansion in the capital for many years and has always been suspicious of this issue. However, the court is a completely different world now. Even if he wants to verify it, no one stands by him. He thought that he was close to the truth at that time, but was blinded by the new emperor.

He didn't even suspect the new emperor at that time. Just think about how stupid that was. Now that the teacher has made it clear, it seems that he already had suspicions in his heart but just couldn't say them out loud.

"Teacher, you know what kind of reputation I have now. I want to hear your opinion today."

It was interesting for Nangong Jing to ask this question. Firstly, his teacher had been away from the court for many years, and secondly, he was not sure whether his teacher was still willing to get involved in court affairs, so he wanted to hear what his teacher would say.

The teacher looked at the gray weather and sighed, "It doesn't matter what others say about you. You just need to keep the open-mindedness and understanding in your heart. You have always been the most ideal child among all the princes of the late emperor. The throne was meant to be passed on to you. I just don't know what happened in the middle. Why did the late emperor suddenly get poisoned and let the current emperor take the throne."

This was the most heartwarming sentence Nangong Jing had heard since he led his troops in rebellion in Liuzhou. In the past, only Lin Jiuxi supported him, but now he had his teacher with him, so he felt more confident about taking over the capital.

Suddenly, Nangong Jing knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Teacher knows me, and I know teacher. I have never thought of seizing the throne. When he took the throne, I just wanted to be an idle prince. But I have not lived a peaceful life in the capital for many years. Instead, I have been framed by him many times. I am resisting now to take back what belongs to me. Please help me, teacher."

The teacher helped Nangong Jing up with both hands: "Do you know that when the late emperor was still alive, he once said that you were the softest and kindest child in the hearts of all the princes, but you were also resolute and resolute, and you had your own plans. When you didn't sit on the throne, I was a little disheartened. Now that you have such fighting spirit, I will of course support you, as long as Your Highness doesn't despise me, an old man."

With the teacher's words, Nangong Jing felt relieved.

After the two of them had a discussion, they continued talking for more than an hour.

Lin Jiuxi had gone to the yard while the two were talking. She was so fascinated by the carved screen in the distance that she didn't hear what the two were saying at all.

Nangong Jing also noticed the screen and came out and said, "Jiu'er, what's on the screen that you are looking at so seriously?"

"This screen is beautifully carved. It looks like a painting."

The teacher also came out and nodded with a smile, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you have good eyesight. This is indeed a painting. Can you tell what it is about?"

"Well, I can't really say, but it should be related to the capital."

As soon as Lin Jiuxi finished talking about the teacher's look, his expression changed a little, and his tone became serious.

"How did you tell that?"

Lin Jiuxi pointed to a place at the top of the screen, which looked like a house, and said, "This place looks like a corner of the imperial palace."
