Great Sui Guoshi

The woman in thin floral dress went over to seduce her, Lu Liangsheng smiled and pushed away the hand he was holding up, while Yang Su just laughed and didn't stop him, and when he went to the brothel in the distance, and went to Baiguanfushe Street, the old man spoke .

"Haha.....When I was young, I used to go to these rouge and pink places, but unfortunately the prankster invited the wrong people. There are female ghosts and banshees in Lu Daoyou's family, how could he fall in love with their rouge and vulgar fans. .”

Lu Liangsheng couldn't answer these words, so he smiled casually and said something to deal with it. The old man looked at him and smiled even brighter, "I'm just joking, fellow Daoist Lu, don't take offense, I'm going to the old man's mansion ahead, this way please!"

The first mansion on Fushe Long Street close to the imperial city belonged to the old man. He served as a minister of the dragon in the two dynasties, and his status was prominent. Just the gate of the mansion showed momentum. The gate of the mansion was tall and golden with copper rivets, and lanterns hung high on both sides of the eaves , illuminating the door plaque inlaid with gold, on which "Gonghou Yang" is carved like a dragon and a phoenix dancing.

Two stone statues of Dharma protectors, holding iron maces and copper whips, stand upright at the gate of the mansion, showing majesty.

At the gate of the mansion, there was already a doorman waiting with a lantern. Seeing that his master had brought a scholar back, he hurried forward to greet him. Among them, the servant in charge looked hesitant, while Yang Su walked up the stone steps and was inviting the scholar behind him. into the mansion.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, how do you feel about this mansion?"

"Duke Yue is a dignified person, even if the mansion sits on the outskirts of the city, it is very grand. How the mansion depends on the owner."

Lu Liangsheng has seen many houses, not to mention the distant Zhou Mansion, the Min Mansion, and the Wang Sheng in Shunyuan County. Although the house is small, it is elegantly and comfortably furnished. Now I don't know if I can get the honor and become an official as I wish.

Recalling the second "Pictures of Mountains and Seas" I saw at the other party's home and gave it to myself. Thinking about the time, more than a few years have passed without realizing it.

When the scene of that year flashed through his mind, the steward who was waiting at the gate of the mansion carefully approached Yang Su and whispered something in his ear. The old man stared blankly at the gate of the mansion with a beard blowing his beard for a moment before laughing and cursing.

"This little bastard!"

Seeing this, Lu Liangsheng stepped into the threshold, and walked on one side rather curiously: "It seems that there are other things going on at Duke Yue's mansion tonight, do you want to disturb me?"

"It's okay, but it's a pity that everything is over."

"what's up?"

Seeing that the old man was willing to say something, Lu Liangsheng couldn't help asking, if it was a good thing, he could continue to talk about what he wanted to say, walked through the gate, followed the steward carrying the lantern to lead the way into the hall door of the front yard, and Yang Su sat down. The first person sat on the big chair, asked the maid to serve tea and snacks, and asked the steward to prepare a table of wine and vegetables.

Only then did we talk about the incident in the mansion just now. The two have known each other for many years, but they don't hide it.

"...Fellow Daoist Lu, don't laugh. Just now, the steward told me that one of my concubines had eloped with someone else. My son was so angry that he led someone to chase me. I'm afraid I'm already on my way back now." "

elopement?

Lu Liangsheng took a sip of his tea. Hearing these two words was a bit fresh, but he couldn't show it on his face, but seeing the old man's calm face, he seemed uneasy. You must know that in the high mansion compound, even a concubine is nothing , but it would be embarrassing to elope, not to mention a high-ranking minister like Yang Su.

"Duke Yue doesn't seem to care?" Lu Liangsheng closed the tea lid and put it on the table.

"I'm really concerned about it, but I can't chase it back anyway."

Seeing Lu Liangsheng's puzzled eyes, the old man slapped the armrest of the chair and laughed loudly, "The old man let go of one pair back then, so what if we let another pair go, if the two can live in harmony and grow old together, it might be the same as the old man Kindness."

Speaking of one incident, it can be traced back to the year when he attacked South Chen, and almost all the royal family daughters of the Chen Dynasty were taken captive to Chang'an. Yang Jian rewarded Chen Shubao's sister, Princess Wenchang, for his meritorious deeds. Only later did he know that, Princess Wenchang Chen Zhen was married in the Southern Dynasties, and her husband traveled all the way to Chang'an.

Speaking of this, Yang Su stroked his beard and sighed: "Princess Wenchang is beautiful in appearance, but her temperament is as loyal as her name. She didn't eat or drink for a few days. Hearing about the past of her husband and wife, she let them reunite and join hands in the south. Returning to the homeland... Hey, Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you doing?"

In the astonished words of the old man, Lu Liangsheng who was seated on the side got up from his chair and cupped his hands: "For the kindness of the Duke of Yue, I worship him."

"You, you."

Yang Su was a little embarrassed by this place, pointing his fingers repeatedly, at this time the steward also came over and said that the food and wine were ready, and the old man invited Lu Liangsheng to go to the backyard together.

"Don't mention the past. Now that Hong Fu elopes with someone, the old man has nothing to do with it. If you really want to settle the score, the old man can go directly to Han Qinhu tomorrow."

The maid came over to fill up the wine glass, Lu Liangsheng thanked him, and continued to ask questions.

"Could it be that the man who elopes with is a member of Han Zhu's country?"

Over there, the old man stroked his beard and smiled, raised his wine glass and touched Lu Liangsheng lightly: "Who else can teach such a nephew."

As he spoke, he ordered the steward who was waiting on the sidelines.

"Go to the side yard and call the four guests to accompany the table."

"Yes."

The steward bowed and exited the room. Seeing Lu Liangsheng's expression, Yang Su explained: "Speaking of which, these four people are still from Nanchen. They are considered to be in the same county as Daoyou Lu, and they also have fame and fame, but they voted for me and called them together. It looks lively."

In fact, the look on Lu Liangsheng's face was not because the old man had invited four followers to accompany him, but because he remembered that two years ago he went south with Han Qinhu to quell the chaos, and the other party also mentioned that there was a nephew at home.

This Chang'an seems to be quite small, and they are all crowded together.

Hearing the old man's explanation in his ears, Lu Liangsheng just nodded, and didn't continue talking, but talked about his business as a guest.

"Duke Yue, what do you think of Your Majesty in the past two years?"

"Compared to the first emperor, it's still a little worse."

When he mentioned the affairs of the government, the old man seemed to change his expression, stopped his chopsticks, and looked at the young scholar opposite him with burning eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you never ask about political affairs, why did you suddenly ask?"

The hall was quiet, the candlelight swayed gently with the night wind blowing in from outside the door, amidst the sound of insects outside, there were footsteps approaching from far away, four figures walked past the eaves of the corridor, gesticulating with their hands indiscriminately.

"What do you three know? The Duke of Yue asked me to wait for four people to accompany him. It is obvious that there are literati and rich guests. It might not be possible for His Majesty to go out of the palace in a low-clothes today."

"Brother is right, maybe tonight is the time for us to stand up."

"Speaking of which, the four of us should have made great achievements in the first place, and finally performed in front of the late emperor, and died before we were summoned..."

Talking in detail, they came to the hall door and Qiqi arched their hands inward.

"I'll pay my respects to Duke Yue, bye..."

One of them saw the smiling young man with a drink on the other side of the table, and buried his face with numb scalp.

I am ashamed to wait for the four of us! !

5 Chapter [-] What I do, I hope it can be kept simple in the heart

"What are you four standing there in a daze for? Come in and pour wine for the national teacher!"

The light flickered lightly, shining the light on the four people outside the threshold who hung their faces and folded their hands and said bravely: "Yes." Looking at the young man sitting there, Wang Feng took a deep breath, the moment the light hit his face, heaped With a smile, he shook a few times like a bow.

"It turned out to be the national teacher, no wonder tonight I only feel a sense of peace enveloping the spirit of the sky, and I am full of energy without knowing it. Now I know that it is the national teacher..."

In the thick-skinned complimenting voice, the other three brothers behind him imitated his appearance and bowed together.

He said a few words repeatedly: "Yes, yes." He walked to both sides of the round table and sat down one by one. Ma Liu snatched the jug from the hand of the maid and waved her gown to let her go away.

"I don't know how to mix wine, go away and let me do it."

The maid rolled her eyes and gave him the jug. The scholar named Ma Liu put his arms around his fat cuffs and poured wine for Yang Su graciously, then walked out of his seat to fill it up for Lu Liangsheng on the other side.

"Master, please."

They are not familiar with Lu Liangsheng, but they have met each other many times. He raised his hand to stop the horses pouring wine, and said with a smile: "I really have a predestined relationship with you. We can also meet in the palace."

"Oh? The national teacher really knows the four disciples of the old man." Yang Su changed his solemnity just now, took a sip of wine with a smile, and glanced at the two sides of the round table. Four people of different heights, thin, short and fat, holding chopsticks He kept picking up vegetables and stuffing them into his mouth. Seeing Duke Yue looking over, Zhang Ti, who was at the nearest position, nodded repeatedly and chewed hard on the food in his mouth.

"Hmm... yes, the national teacher went to Hegu County to take the exam, and I met him once..."

Wang Feng, Ma Liu, and Zhao Tang around the table stopped their chopsticks and wiped their greasy mouths. Wang Feng hurriedly said: "Mr. Yue, we met the fox demon the night we met the teacher. That obsession, seductive Very human! Fortunately, the four of us only read the books of the sages and spoke the words of the sages, so we didn't get caught by them and saved our reputation."

"Brother forgot... In fact, we lived on the boat with the national teacher at the ferry!"

"Is that the time you went to brother Chongwen's house?"

"...I said it for me, I said it for me!"

Speaking of excitement, the four rushed to speak, you pulled my cuff, I stepped on your instep, stared at each other and told the old man about the past of the Southern Dynasty.

Lu Liangsheng held the wine glass and sipped it slowly. He quietly listened to them talking about the encounters in those years. He couldn't help but smile. He looked at the four of them carefully. Same as before.

The wind blew through the eaves and squeezed into the window sash, the light flickered slightly, the maid came to add some vegetable oil, fiddled with the wick, the light rose, and the room became a little brighter.

The chattering and laughing voices around the round table paused for a moment, and Lu Liangsheng suddenly spoke, talking about what he just mentioned.

"Duke Yue has assisted His Majesty for two years, how do you feel?"

The four people holding wine glasses on both sides persuaded each other to drink, or ordered to drink, suddenly fell silent, looked at the two sides, lowered their heads and raised their ears to listen.

"...Your Majesty, I am a little impatient in dealing with political affairs."

The old man restrained his smile, put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a sip from the wine glass in front of him, and didn't care that there were four people beside him, but simply raised his hand to let the servant girls who were waiting around him back out.

The hall door was gently closed, Yang Su took a deep breath, got up and walked to the window where the porcelain vase was placed, looking out at the night in the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Lu came to have a drink with me today. In fact, I know what you want to say in my heart. Compared with the late emperor, your majesty is still too young. Don't worry, I'm afraid that the country that was so hard won will be broken if you are not careful."

Lu Liangsheng pursed his lips, didn't look at the four people sitting on both sides, and then got up and walked to the old man's side. Yang Su's words made him feel relieved. After all, what he said outside gave him a feeling that the old man wanted to control the entire court. Stance.

Following the old man's gaze, Lu Liangsheng looked at the courtyard and nodded.

"Duke Yue can say these words, I am quite relieved, but if you want to say that you are not at ease, Your Majesty, I don't agree. It is like a child learning to walk, which one does not grow up through bumps and bumps? Duke Yue interferes too much. , aren’t you afraid of karma, and you won’t end up with a good death?”

In the eyes of cultivators, the words of karma are not really cruel words, but to the ears of ordinary people, they inevitably have a threatening meaning. The Fourth Scholar sitting over there buried his face, and his eyes froze in front of the window. A young man glanced around, and the four of them looked at each other, gulping down their saliva.

"Who said just now that the auspicious light shines on the sky?"

"...Which...brother, you said it yourself."

"Have you ever said that? Brother Wei, why don't you remember?"

"...Brother, if we listen to what we shouldn't, will we be silenced by Duke Yue and Lu Lang?"

"Don't talk, bury your head in your food."

Wang Feng scolded, his eyes crossed the corners of his eyes, and he still couldn't help but glance at the two figures on the other side of the window lattice, with his mouth trembling and moving quickly, he said silently: "Don't look over, don't look over..."

Over there, Yang Su turned around, glanced at the figure with his face buried by the table from the corner of his eye, and didn't care about these people, caressing the exquisite porcelain vase on the shelf.

"National teacher, you don't get involved in government affairs, and you don't have the hardships of an old man who followed the late emperor to conquer the country with one hand and one foot. You can't understand it at all."

The fingertips paused on the porcelain bottle, turned his face, and looked at the face of Lu Liangsheng who looked the same.

"What the national teacher said before is not unreasonable, but what the old man said also has his own experience. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to have a great talent and strategy. He attacked the Huns in the north, conquered Baiyue in the south, and promoted the might of the great Han Tian. It can be seen that he was slowly tempered by restraint. Without Empress Dowager Dou, there would be no great Han Wu."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the old man whose beard and beard were trembling, and was silent for a moment: "So Duke Yue wants to be Queen Dowager Dou to sharpen His Majesty?"

"It's not impossible."

The old man put his hands behind his back, hummed his reputation and looked towards the screen, quite annoyed that some civil and military officials in the court, for two years, what he did was smeared with embellishments.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, it's probably rumored that the old man is just like Cao Mengde, right?"

"This is not."

The scholar brushed away the sleeves of his robe, stretched out his hand to hook them, placed the two chairs and stools in front of the table, moved them smoothly to the front, and invited the old man to sit down. Seeing his gentle appearance, Yang Su couldn't get angry, and kept a straight face. Sit on the chair.

Seeing the old man sitting down, Lu Liangsheng smiled and added tea and sat aside.

"Cao Cao at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was too much to be discredited, but I know that the Duke of Yue is not Cao Mengde, but it is hard to repay the kindness to the late emperor, so he wants to make the Great Sui go further."

The tea cup was steaming hot, the old man leaned on the back of his chair and looked out of the window silently, the lantern under the eaves was shaking, and the moths danced and bumped against the paper of the lantern for a while, his beard trembled slightly, and he made a sound.

"It's not easy for clan brother to break into this foundation. This old man dare not be careless. Although His Majesty is extremely intelligent and courageous, but this is the case. The more I am afraid that he wants to achieve the achievements of the late emperor too much, and he will act too hastily."

Lu Liangsheng sat there, closed his eyes, listened to the sound of flying insects hitting the lantern outside, and looked at the old man next to him.

"At that time, how should the Duke of Yue retreat completely?"

"The emperor's ministers are not concealed, but the simplicity is in the emperor's heart."

The old man spit out his horoscope softly, his beard trembled, and he laughed loudly. At this time, footsteps came from the eaves outside, and a servant's voice sounded outside the door.

"Master, the eldest son is back."

Chapter 571

"The eldest son is back!" "Eldest son, can you catch that lowly maid?"

"...It's really hateful!"

Night Breeze passed through the vestibule, and Feng Shui Bi walked around a group of people in full armor. Among them, a tall man who looked like a guard looked at a linen bag on his shoulder and was still struggling and writhing.

The crowd came over, and the leader was a man in his thirties, with a Chinese character face and a beard around his chin. He dragged a cloak and went straight through the servants who came up to him. Nodding, he raised his hand to disperse the dozen or so guards following him.

"Take that woman down to watch!"

He searched for the hall behind the front yard, came to the door and took off the cloak and handed it to the maid who was waiting outside, reached out and knocked on the door, and pushed it in.

Several lampposts in the hall were brightly lit, and they were placed in front of the big round table in the middle. Four of his father's attendants hurriedly stood up and saluted him. he goes in.

"Xuangan, come here to pay a visit to the national teacher."

The man who stepped into the threshold had known about Lu Liangsheng from his father in the past, looked at the young man who was younger than him, he was well-mannered, and he arched his hands without hesitation.
