    Shi Xing came to the Wenhua Hall and sat down in the lecture room specially set aside for the lecturers next to the East Pavilion where Zhu Changluo was giving lectures. At this time, another lecturer was still giving lectures in the East Pavilion. He  It¡¯s also a good opportunity to think about what I want to talk about later.

    ????????? About a stick of incense, Fang Congzhe, the Attendant, came in from outside. After seeing Shi Xing, he bowed respectfully: "I've seen Lord Shangshu. It turns out that Lord has arrived a long time ago."

    Shi Xing opened his eyes and saw Fang Congzhe, and nodded with a smile: "I have just arrived. Was Lord Fang giving a lecture to His Highness the First Prince just now?"

    "Yes, sir, it is the lower official."

    "Well!" Shi Xing stood up. The other party Congzhe was quite polite. After all, Fang Congzhe and the other six eldest princes gave lectures. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, each of them will be reused, even if they become  The pavilion is also very relaxing.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take the first step, I can¡¯t keep His Highness the First Prince waiting.¡±

    Fang Congzhe saluted again: "My lord, please."

    After Fang Congzhe left, Zhu Changluo waved to Zou Yi, who was standing aside: "Zou Yi, hand over the document that Lao Ying investigated."

    Zou Yi quickly took out the brocade bag that Zhu Changluo needed. It was full of organized materials and presented it to Zhu Changluo with both hands.

    Taking the brocade bag presented by Zou Yi, Zhu Changluo smiled, weighed it with his hands, and then put it on the table: "Zou Yi, if I remember correctly, the next government affairs lecture will be the turn of Shi Xing, Minister of War.  Alright?"

    Zou Yi bowed and said with a smile: "That's right, Your Highness, today is Shi Shangshu's turn."

    "Yeah!" Zhu Changluo nodded slightly and ordered his two companions: "Zou Yi, Wang An, when Shi Xing arrives later, you will go and guard outside. If someone approaches, block them if you can.  If you can't stop it, one person will hold you back, and the other person will come over quickly to remind me."

    "Yes! Your Highness." Zou Yi and Wang An bowed in unison.

    Zhu Changluo casually said a few words to the two of them, and then saw Shi Xing appear at the door of the East Pavilion. He waved to Zou Yi and Wang An, signaling them to go out and be on guard. He began to prepare for his risky plan.  And laid out.

    "Meet your Highness." After Shi Xing came in, he first saluted Zhu Changluo.

    Zhu Changluo had already stood up, smiled and held up Shi Xing's arm, not letting him bow down.  Zhu Changluo was generally very polite to the cabinet bachelors and nine ministers who took turns giving lectures on government affairs. He rarely asked them to kneel down to pay respects. He knew that he was already very passive in the palace and must leave a lasting impression for these powerful ministers.  Good impression, these people are his solid backing!

    "Sir, there is no need to be polite. There are no outsiders here, just teachers and students, so those common etiquette can be avoided." Zhu Changluo said with a smile.

    "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. The courtesy cannot be discarded." Shi Xing smiled. He was very satisfied with Zhu Changluo, the eldest prince. Not only did he have unique insights into government affairs, but the key was to treat him with courtesy, who could only be regarded as a half-official at best.  Youjia, what a good candidate for the crown prince!

    "I wonder what your plans are today, sir? What aspects of government affairs do you want to teach?" Zhu Changluo did not return to his seat as usual, but asked casually with a smile.

    Shi Xing is quite confident about this: "I wanted to explain some border military affairs to His Highness today. However, if Your Highness wants to know something about it, as long as I am familiar with it, I can help His Highness clear up some of his doubts."

    "Oh? It turns out that sir is going to explain the military affairs at the border today, which is good! Especially the military affairs of North Korea. I have heard a lot of rumors there in the past few days, and I have something to do with sir." Zhu Changluo smiled and said slightly  After clicking, he walked back to where he was sitting.

    Shi Xing was stunned for a moment, and then his mind moved, North Korea's military affairs?  rumor?  Could it be that the eldest prince heard something about himself?  Otherwise, why would you say something to yourself?

    "Haha, there are actually rumors about the relationship with the old minister in North Korea? The old minister is very curious." Shi Xing said with a smile, as if he was just asking casually.

    Zhu Changluo nodded and did not tell Shi Xing what the rumor was. Instead, he asked: "Sir, do you know someone named Shen Weijing?"

    "Shen Weijing?" Shi Xing stroked his beard: "Your Highness is talking about the deputy envoy Shen Weijing who was sent to Japan not long ago?"

    "That's right! It is said that this person became the deputy envoy to Japan to confer Hideyoshi Hideyoshi, that's who he is." Zhu Changluo replied with a smile: "I heard that this Shen Weijing also served on the Korean battlefield before becoming the deputy envoy to Japan to consecrate Hideyoshi.  Not bad performance. Before our country, Ming Dynasty, went to war with the Japanese country, we successfully held the Japanese country back for several months with just a sharp tongue, which bought our Ming Dynasty a lot of time to mobilize its troops, and also exempted it from?North Korea was destroyed by the Japanese country before the Ming Dynasty rescued it.  It seems that this person was involved in the peace talks and the canonization of the Japanese country, but I don't know whether it is true or not.  "

    Shi Xing frowned slightly. From what the eldest prince meant, he seemed to know that he knew Shen Weijing.  But, why didn't he explain it clearly?  But to remind yourself in such a roundabout way?  Could it be related to Shen Weijing?

    Speaking of Shen Weijing, Shi Xing had some admiration for this old man who had passed his sixties and was about to enter his seventies.  At that time, he was busy with the upcoming Korean War in the east and the rebellion of Ningxia Deputy General Bingbing in the west. It happened that his concubine's father Yuan Fang recommended his good friend Shen Weijing.  This man had participated in the anti-Japanese war during the reign of Ming Emperor Shizong when he was young. He had a good understanding of the Japanese country, understood its language, and had some knowledge of espionage strategies. Moreover, he was also an alchemist and had extensive research on alchemy and Feng Shui numerology.

    There are many generals in the Ming Dynasty who have experience in fighting against Japan, and there are also many who know the Japanese country and understand the Japanese language. But what makes Shi Xing's heart move and admire him the most is that this man named Shen Weijing is an alchemist!  An alchemist who knows Feng Shui!

    Since Shi Xing was demoted twice in the court, the first time he almost lost his life, and his wife even touched the pillar and "succumbed to her husband" because of it. The second time, she was driven back home not long after returning to the court. This made him  From now on, I believe in Feng Shui and destiny!  Especially when he returned to the court for the third time, he specifically sought guidance from a Feng Shui master. Unexpectedly, his official career was actually smooth sailing. He was halfway through the six ministerial affairs, which at least on the surface was extremely prosperous.  This made him admire and respect Feng Shui Warlock from the bottom of his heart all these years.

    After hearing that Shen Weijing was a warlock who knew Feng Shui, and that he had participated in the anti-Japanese war and knew the Japanese language, Shi Xing was overjoyed and gave Shen Weijing full trust and support, and tried to find a way to turn Shen Weijing into a commoner.  She just promoted a guerrilla general.  Shen Weijing was a eloquent person, and he did not disappoint Shi Xing. He actually delayed the Japanese pirates' attack for several months, which surprised many people.  Later, they even created a bridge to bring the Ming Dynasty and Japan, which were suffering from internal and external troubles, into an armistice and peace talks!

    In Shi Xing¡¯s view, Shen Weijing was definitely a capable person. It would not be wrong to say that one person almost dominated the direction of the Korean war.

    "Your Highness, Shen Weijing is quite capable. Well, he is an alchemist who understands the layout of Feng Shui. He is an expert outside the world. He made great contributions on the Korean battlefield. He delayed the Japanese attack before the war started, allowing our Ming Dynasty to have  He had enough preparation time to deploy troops and generals, and in this peace negotiation, he played a role that cannot be ignored." Shi Xing didn't know what happened to Shen Weijing that involved him, but he still said a few fair words for Shen Weijing.  .

    "Feng Shui Warlock?" Zhu Changluo was a little surprised. From the information collected by Lao Ying, he only saw that Shen Weijing was an alchemist who liked alchemy before, but he didn't know that this person was also a Feng Shui Warlock.

    To be honest, Zhu Changluo was a complete atheist in his previous life, but his rebirth has happened in this life, so he has to doubt some things.  Moreover, he also knew that the people in Qintianjian still had some skills. Not only could they accurately formulate the calendar for the next year, but they could also accurately determine the time of solar and lunar eclipses. Even if earthquakes occurred in various places,  It's almost impossible to predict.

    What surprised Zhu Changluo even more was that by observing celestial phenomena, these people could actually predict the time and general direction that major events would happen!  Even if I can¡¯t tell exactly what the big deal is, it¡¯s already making people very curious!

    ??************

    ps1: Reading history books, I found that the Qintian Supervisor often told me that there were abnormal stars, or which stars entered which palaces, or which stars invaded which stars, and in which direction something big would happen. In a few days, that direction would really happen.  Something happened!  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not, but Chinese traditional culture, like the Book of Changes, is really admirable!

    PS2: If nothing unexpected happens, the update will probably resume tomorrow.
