Cheng Qianren said: "Go back and get a good night's sleep. I will try this case alone."

Anguo repeated again: "Your Highness, please take the overall situation into consideration, recall Huajian Xuejiang, quell disputes, and stabilize people's hearts!"

Cheng Qianren stretched out his hand to help her up: "Could it be that the prestige of the orphan, the support of the people of the dynasty, and the luck of the empire depend on him alone? Is he a demon or a god? No, what those people outside said is wrong. Gu Xuejiang is a I am a smoker, and I have old injuries, and I have to take a lot of medicine every day. I know that smoking hurts my lungs, but I still smoke, and I don’t even have the self-control to quit..."

An Guo didn't understand why he suddenly said this: "Your Highness?"

"He hates washing dishes, and likes to be poor. Painting beauties is lifelike, and one day he won't be a general, but he can still write and sell paintings to make ends meet..."

Anguo frowned, his eyes were like knives.

Cheng Qianren said calmly: "Gu will not call him back."

His reaction was beyond An Guo's expectations.

"Do you really want him to continue fighting? If you hand over the Zhendong Army to that lunatic, you won't be afraid of breeding tigers? He received an order to defend the city, and he didn't even report it before sending troops. It can be seen that he has no awe at all." , he is not Xu Ran! If he supports himself..."

Cheng Qianren interrupted her: "Sister Huang, don't go on talking, I don't want to hold you accountable for this matter."

The entire imperial city knows that Princess An made great contributions to calming the chaos last night.Cheng Qianren said that she would not be punished, which sounded very unreasonable and strange.

But An Guo understood what he meant, and couldn't help feeling chills in his heart, but also felt a little relieved.

She restrained her anger and showed a gentle smile, just like when Cheng Qianren saw her for the first time, grilling fish by the pool:

"The minister made a slip of the tongue."

"I just hope you can remember that the people who lost their lives last night are also the people you have guarded desperately for many years." Cheng Qianren paused, his tone softened, "Go back and rest."

"...The minister will leave."

The door of the palace was closed, and Cheng Qianren tugged at the collar of the dress irritably.Feeling that it was not enough, he untied the knot on his jaw and pulled off the hair crown.

The heavy pearl and jade crown fell to the ground, and the echo was clear and clear. He relaxed and panted heavily.

After a long while, he muttered: "Where is the destiny? Shit."

Zhu Liu picked up the hair crown, led him to sit in front of the dressing table, and gently combed his hair.

Since the prince can handle government affairs alone, the figure of the chief assistant gradually disappeared in the palace.Cheng Qianren realized that he was habitually dependent on each other, so he asked for independence: "You have worked too hard. I am a big man, so I can't be so useless."

Zhuliu didn't object, he was very cautious and didn't want to arouse Cheng Qianren's resistance.

Just like now, he massaged the other person's scalp, and his voice was as gentle and gentle as possible: "She and her sister are more like the royal family, suspicious by nature, and don't believe anyone. You are just the opposite, and everyone believes."

Cheng Qianren groaned comfortably as he massaged his acupuncture points, purring like a cat being brushed down.

But she was thinking in her heart that An Guo regarded the army as a tool to maintain the imperial power, and regarded every soldier and general, even herself, as a sharp knife, ready to sacrifice for the Duan dynasty at any time.She guarded against Chao Ge Que, proposed a marriage, and now doubts Gu Xuejiang... But she is indeed a talented and loyal general, maybe I can let her leave the imperial capital and transfer her to the southwest next month.

"I trust Gu Xuejiang because I know him well. His ideal and personality are not about becoming a king on his own," Cheng Qianren said.

If Chaoge Que's ideal is to kill the demon king, Gu Xuejiang's ideal is probably to hope that the demons will be extinct.Although he has not directly communicated with the other party on this topic.

Zhu Liu smiled: "But you know, even if you issue an edict, you may not be able to recall him. You don't want to punish him for resisting the order and treason. He is so smart, knowing that you will be embarrassed by this, you still choose..."

Cheng Qianren interrupted him: "We trusted each other in the past, and it's the same now."

Zhuliu: "Brother, it's okay. If you need me, I'm always here."

Your old friend, because of your identity change, has created a gap with you.Your relatives by blood care more about the stability of the imperial power.Only I am different, no matter who you are, I have no reservations about you.

He wanted Cheng Qianren to realize this.

Sure enough, Cheng Qianren turned around and held his younger brother's hand holding the comb: "Xiaoliu."

The morning light is faint, green smoke is curling from the incense burner, and white curtains are fluttering.They looked into each other's eyes, and in the bronze mirror, the distance between the two gradually narrowed.

The atmosphere is just right.

Zhu Liu whispered: "Even if the continent sinks and the stars fall, my heart for you will never change..."

Cheng Qianren: "Lend me some money!"

"……what?"

Cheng Qianren repeated: "50 taels."

Zhuliu regained his composure, and nodded in a daze.

Cheng Qianren held his hand tightly and shook it violently as if affirming a revolutionary friendship: "Within five years, I will definitely pay you back!"

He once again deeply realized that only my brother can make me happy!

Zhu Liu felt both angry and funny: "Brother, it's too rude of you to say that. Even if the real money is not enough, you can repay me in other ways."

Cheng Zhinan said without hesitation: "Well, I will try my best to compensate you in other ways!"

Successfully borrowing money made him full of energy, swept away his depression, put on his hair crown, dusted off his clothes: "I'm off to work. You can sleep a little longer."

Zhuliu opened his arms: "Hold me."

Cheng Qianren gave him a brotherly pat on the back.

Zhuliu lost his temper after being photographed by him, held the person in his arms, and decided to win the game: "Take my money and go raise another man, and you will make me happy every day from now on."

Cheng Qianren's whole body froze, and the roots of his ears burned red: "What nonsense, that big fool Gu Er and I..."

"I'm kidding, go ahead."

Cheng Qianren ran away.

***

From mid-July to August, it is the summer thunderstorm season in the imperial capital.

The heavy rain washes away the world, and everything that happens during this period is called 'thunderstorm cleaning'.Later generations commented on Cheng Qianren's merits and demerits, and this page cannot be avoided anyway.

The prince frequently went in and out of the prison, and the Judiciary Division listened in on his public trial and asked questions from time to time. He asked questions when he really didn't understand, but it put a lot of pressure on the presiding judge.The case involved a wide range of issues. Half of the veteran officials in the DPRK were summoned for interrogation, and more than forty high-ranking officers of the Imperial Guard were suspended for investigation.The commander of the imperial guards was not strict, and he was fined for one year.

"As for the position of deputy commander, who does His Highness prefer?"

Cheng Qianren thought for a while: "I have nothing to do with this case. I have been in the army for more than five years, and my bone age is less than [-]. It is better to have been on the battlefield. Is there such a person in the Imperial Guard?"

"Yes, Xu Ran. This person was transferred from the Zhendong Army to the Imperial Guard this year. He was originally in charge of food distribution..."

"It's her."

Xu Ran took office immediately.

Someone was waiting to see her jokes, such a big mess, it's not easy to pick it up.

Xu Ran came to the imperial capital not long ago, because he was impatient with social occasions, he had nothing to do with various factions.If you do things with a bowl of water, you will not sell anyone's face.In addition, she has a straight-forward personality, whoever twists and turns with her, and whom she draws a sword with, on the contrary, the complexity is simplified, and the order of the imperial capital is quickly restored.

But she wasn't hardworking either. After finishing her job, she didn't want to stay in the official office for a moment, so she spent time in Huaijin Lake.

The beauty plays the piano, draws a boat and listens to the rain to sleep.

Someone came to the door and reported that she saw that the neighbor was the leader of the "anti-revolutionary faction" who rioted on a rainy night. The evidence was solid and she was asked to arrest him for meritorious service.

She was pouring wine into the beauty, and only waved her hand: "Now is the rest time, can't we talk about it tomorrow? You go...won't you go? Come have a drink or two!"

A kind of argument quietly arises in the market: Gu Xuejiang is far away in the sky, and whether he lives or dies has little to do with us.Eat what you should eat, go to work when you should go to work, life still has to go on, and the family can live their lives in peace, which is better than anything else.

Xu Ran's behavior was evaluated by later generations as "great ingenuity as clumsy as great wisdom as foolishness".She has a degree of relaxation, so that the imperial capital during the prince's iron-fisted period will not be turbulent and everyone will not be in danger.

But at that time, when many officials mentioned this Deputy Commander Xu, they all shook their heads, thinking that she was muddling along, without outstanding talents and dedicated dedication, and most importantly, she was not good at trying to figure out what she wanted.

Cheng Qianren felt that he was about to split his mind.In front of outsiders during the day, he is a majestic prince: "Don't be afraid, I just feel that I have a good temper, why are you shaking?"

Back at the dormitory at night, he made complaints about Zhu Liu.

"Don't let me worry, come on, hurt each other."

"What did you say to check the details of military expenditures? I just wanted to call Gu Xuejiang back. I said, 'Starting today, Gu Banner's iron cavalry military expenditures will be halved, and the state treasury will not approve Gu Xuejiang's account of more than 10 taels. Everyone will overcome the national crisis together.' They I have nothing to say, and I am afraid that my next sentence will say that the monthly salary will be halved, and the expenses of each government will be halved. Of course, it all depends on the money you lent me to keep secrets, Xiaoliu, you are so kind to me..."

The Donggong hot spring pool was filled with hot mist, and Cheng Qianren leaned against the pool with his eyes closed. He didn't hear an echo for a long time: "Xiaoliu?"

I saw Zhuliu's face was pale, and he was staring straight at him, with an indistinguishable expression.

Cheng Qianren was feeling strange, but suddenly he was startled: "Chao Ge Que?"

The long-lost sense of crisis came, and the aura around him climbed uncontrollably, and the man laughed again: "Brother."

Cheng Qianren breathed a sigh of relief: "You haven't been in a good spirit recently. Is it because you...competed for the Dharma Body? You should have told me earlier."

Zhu Liu nodded, with a very sensible look: "I don't want to embarrass you."

Cheng Qianren looked distressed: "It's okay, there will be a way."

He opened his arms, stirred the water and splashed it, intending to hug him out of the hot spring and take care of his weak brother.When touching the other party's wet, smooth, delicate, white and flawless skin, I feel embarrassed: "You do it yourself."

Zhu Liu smiled, stood up straight, and looked down at Cheng Qianren condescendingly: "Now it's no different than when I was a child, and I should love my brother instead."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Cheng Qianren was like a flopping duck, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, so he reprimanded in a low voice: "What should I do if someone sees me, Huaiqing and Huaiming are waiting outside, you, like me Very embarrassing."

"There will be a way" is not a mouthful, Cheng Qianren began to study the magic of the soul, he asked Huaiqing to go back to Jiange, search for relevant classics, and wrote a letter to Hu Yizhi of Nanyuan College for advice.There are often people who do what they like and offer the prince the secret method of the soul, but the good and the bad are mixed, and it doesn't help much.

He believes that "everything in the world has a destiny. If one can be turned into two, then the two can be combined into one", but he was worried about the conflict between Zhuliu and Chaoge Que, so he didn't tell the other party for the time being.At the same time, Cheng Qianren had to clean up the court and deal with government affairs, so it was inevitable that he would have no time to spend with his younger brother.

Zhuliu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you don’t have time to get tired of being together during the day, you have to make up for it in other ways.In order to make him ask less questions and not follow her, Cheng Qianren inevitably agreed to some unreasonable demands, and all the advantages were taken.

As soon as Wen Le's confinement period ended, he recommended Cheng Qianren to look up the classics in the palace library: "Those are all collected by the emperor, they may be useful to you, brother, what kind of spell are you looking for, don't you practice seeing the world? "

Being mentioned suddenly, Cheng Qianren was in a trance for a while, and summoned the god and ghost Pi Yi to weigh it.

See Jiangshan.Since entering the palace, he has never practiced sword.

That night, he didn't go back to his bedroom, but wandered around the palace with his sword in hand.

In the past, he traveled all over the world without any attachments, seeing mountains splitting mountains, seeing seas splitting seas, he could practice sword wherever he went.Lie on the tree at night to drink, pick up a branch, and dance a set of sword skills.

Now I feel that something is wrong everywhere I look, there are many buildings and tens of thousands of mansions, it is not a place to practice swords.

The sword is still sharp, and the moon is still bright.

Cheng Qianren drew his sword and looked around, very dazed.

Because not only did he fail to master the sword, but he got lost again.

"Excuse me, may I ask how to get to the East Palace?...It's you again!"

The old man in linen and cloth shoes and holding a bamboo stick slowly turned his head.
