Chapter 344
The luxurious ceremonial vehicle is slowly driving in the deep mountains.

As winter approached, the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply, and the grass and trees on both sides of the road were covered with frost.

Yuan Xu sat on the warm soft couch, tightened the stove in his hand, his eyes fell on the lighted hut in the distance, and there was a determined smile on the corner of his lips.

Yijia stopped outside the thatched hut, the man looked over, and saw the world-renowned emperor, with a meticulous snow-white Confucian shirt and a jade hairpin tied on his hair, standing respectfully under the eaves.

Men smile more.

So what if he is famous all over the world, so what if he has mountains and rivers in his belly, he has a whole body of talent, but he has nowhere to display it.

Sikong Chen who rejected his father is just a sour old scholar through and through.

Without the support of the royal family, scholars in the world are just mud legs in the back alleys of the city. They are worthy of giving advice?

He strolled down the ceremonial vehicle with a dignified appearance.

Immediately, an attendant stepped forward and carefully tied the fox fur cloak on him.

He looked at Sikong Chen with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, the teacher's demeanor is still the same as before."

Sikong Yuan calmly said, "The hut is shabby, if Your Highness doesn't mind it, you can go in and have a cup of warm wine."

"Respect is worse than obedience."

The old and the young sat down in the hut. Yuan Xu pointed to the pile of brocade boxes brought in by the attendants, and said with a smile: "I know that the teacher likes the antiques in the study room. These things are all my heart. Once the teacher left In 19, my father and Chao Wenwu both missed you very much. Before I went south, my father specially told me to come to Jinling Academy to see if you are healthy."

Dean Sikong cupped his hands toward the east implicitly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

The wine is ready.

The little boy brought warm wine, Yuan Xu sniffed it and put it down, "Although the teacher is 72 years old, but I look at it, the demeanor and spirit are not inferior to young people. Jiang Ziya was invited out of the mountain by King Wen of Zhou at the age of [-]. With that blessing, I also invite the teacher to come out of the mountain to assist me?"

"I heard that there are as many as three hundred staff members in the prince's mansion, so why does the prince come to find me, an old bone?"

"Teacher's ability is naturally different from those mediocre people. Teacher, Chang'an is prosperous, and the Prince's Mansion is rich. If you live in the Prince's Mansion, why would you drink such inferior wine?"

Dean Sikong took a sip of wine, "Jiangnan is as good as Jiangnan. If my old bone can be buried here, it would be a great thing."

"Heh..." Yuan Xu sneered, "Teacher really won't follow me back to Chang'an?"

"His Majesty's kindness, I appreciate it."

Yuan Xu took out a dagger from his wide sleeve, and slowly placed it on the square table, "To tell you the truth, you have opened an academy in Jinling to give lectures over the years, and you have sent a lot of talents to the court. You use them as eyes and ears to inquire about the court It's not impossible to keep secrets. The emperor means that if you refuse to return to Chang'an, you can take the secrets in your stomach and bury them in Jiangnan..."

The dagger was unsheathed, and the cold light flickered under the candlelight, which was icy cold.

The rushing sound of military boots came from outside the hut, and the guards of the Prince's Mansion had already surrounded the hut.

Yuan Xu brushed off his wide sleeves, "Nineteen years ago, you assisted the former prince and rejected my father. Now you have rejected my palace. Why, do you want to assist my third or fourth brother?"

Sikong Chen smiled.

He still drank in an unhurried manner, "The king wants his ministers to die, but they are not loyal if they are not. Just as the prince said, I am famous all over the world as an emperor and teacher. If people in the world know that I died at the hands of the prince, how will they treat the prince? There are many princes, but why did the emperor send you to do this?"

Yuan Xu's expression changed.

Originally, he thought that his father sent him to Jiangnan to perform such an important task because he valued him highly.

but……

Can he really afford the consequences of killing the emperor?

As the emperor said, there are so many princes, why did the emperor send him to do such a thankless task?
Father hates him?
Or is she afraid of him, so she wants to ruin his reputation?

That's right, the father's favorite son now is his younger brother.

The man wearing a golden crown and a bright yellow four-clawed python robe suddenly felt uneasy.

He looked left and right under the lamp, and found that the only one who could guide him was the emperor teacher in front of him.

He put away the dagger, with a bleak smile, "Teacher, it's my father, not me, who wants to kill you. You watched me grow up when I was young. Now that I'm in trouble, you have to help me."
