Lanling covered the moon

In a blink of an eye, in August, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.

One year spent similar, each year is different.I saw the small beige petals falling on my body, and when I looked up, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers all over the street were in full bloom.

"My lord, it's time to go to court." Che Yan would escort him to court every day since he moved into Lanling Palace.Zimo brushed off the petals on his shoulders and got into the sedan chair. The third grade sat in a sedan chair and the fourth grade rode a horse. The guard said that Zimo should also put on the profile of a first grade official of General Longxiang, so he can no longer trust his horse and go to the palace to be looked down upon. .

The fragrance of flowers is floating, hooking some thoughts.When they arrived at the palace, many ministers came forward to say hello to King Lanling, and the flowers were blooming like brocades, like stars holding the moon.However, Zi Mo just agreed with a little more perfunctory taste.He lost his third elder brother Xiao Wan and eldest brother Xiao Yu, and the civil and military ministers around him made him feel very sad.Looking up, there was a group of figures in twos and threes on the Danbi of Changwu Hall, and Zimo saw his elder brother Xiaoyu with a sharp eye.

"I'm sorry, Chang Gong took a step ahead." Gongshou and a group of coworkers who were sycophant apologized, Zimo quickened his pace and chased after the elder brother.He hadn't seen his third elder brother Xiao Wan for half a month, Gao Fu didn't dare to come to the door rashly, and the eldest brother always avoided him from a distance.Xiaoyu, who works in the Ministry of Public Affairs, is a civil servant, and her rank is not one or two points lower than Zimo, so even if they go to the court together, they can be separated into two sides, and it is difficult to find opportunities to chat in private.

Xiao Yu's eyes turned, and it seemed that because of the scene where other officials were watching, he smiled and agreed: "I have seen His Royal Highness Lan Ling."

. . . . . . "Brother, what is your birthright? Could it be that you blame me for the fact that I moved out to live alone?" Zi Mo said bluntly, ignoring that the ministers passing by were all intent on watching the two brothers.

"Don't dare, how dare I blame you, Your Highness Lanling? Your Highness, you set up your own family, and the people in Yecheng don't know the famous Lanling Palace. Although you and I are both descendants of the clan, after Wenxiang, but now The difference in height is really embarrassing." The eldest brother's peach blossom eyes are charming, but there is no smile in his eyes.

"Brother?..."

"Yes, Chang Gong's reputation is really in full swing, let alone us marquises and lords, who among the princes and princes in our family can have the ability of Chang Gong? At this age, he is ranked among the generals of Long Xiang. I thought, This beauty is to please others, but it turns out that this is no longer joy. His Majesty the Emperor has always responded to Chang Gong's request. The great feats of the Jinyang and Luoyang battles were used to make Chang Gong famous. Your Majesty really has good intentions! This kind of favor is truly unprecedented, and I am envious of others!" Two young masters surnamed Gao approached, with oily hair and pink faces.Zimo looked familiar but couldn't name him. He must be the son of the branch family. Standing beside the elder brother, he was very familiar.

Knowing that these two were deliberately provocative, Zi Mo turned cold.I deliberately ignored him, but said to my elder brother again: "Brother, where did the third brother go? Why haven't you returned to Yecheng for so long?" Seeing that the elder brother's tone was not friendly, he asked straight to the point.

"Of course Xiaowan is on official business. Why don't you understand what the officials of the Manchu Dynasty know? If you still don't believe it, go down to the court and ask His Majesty the Emperor. You should believe what His Majesty says." However, Zimo became more and more confused the more he listened.

"Brother, why did you say that? Could it be that the aunt told you something that made you misunderstand me?" Zimo wanted to defend himself.

"Xiao Yu, let's go, we will be late if we continue to fret. If His Majesty cares about it, then nothing will happen. What kind of lords are we? It's not good to be blamed. After all, His Majesty treats others Everyone is stern and selfless and clearly rewards and punishes..." Before the elder brother could speak, the young master said so.

"It's reasonable! My relatives in Luoyang have told me that His Highness Changgong can let His Majesty sleep together in the same hall, and he can come and go freely in the Luoyang palace, so that I will be respectful when I see King Lanling in Yecheng in the future." Please don't offend me. Today, it seems that His Highness Chang Gong is domineering towards his elder brother. It can be seen that His Majesty is protecting him from taking others seriously. If we continue to argue like this, we will be unlucky, Xiao Yu, let's go Let's go." Another person chimed in and tugged at Brother's sleeve.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zi Mo frowned angrily, he was anxious to find the third brother, he didn't expect that there would be such two broken-mouthed people stirring up trouble.

"Hehe, Your Highness Lanling, you can't take your anger out on me. I didn't spread rumors to cause trouble. Why, did no one tell you? As the saying goes, if you want people to know, you must know Why, now there is a lot of rumors in the court and the public, saying that you and His Majesty the Emperor stayed together in the Lingyu Palace in Luoyang overnight, and the two phoenixes lived together, and the phoenix turned the phoenix upside down... Oh no, no, I really deserve to die!" The man pretended to slap himself on the mouth, and approached Zimo softly and said, "Your Highness, please don't go to your Majesty's place to read a book from me. I don't know how to speak. Your Highness calm down... Your Highness Naturally, I talked with His Majesty the Emperor by candlelight at night, discussing state affairs together. As the saying goes, the erythrina flowers wither and the grass rests, and the same nest in the southern country should return home. It is really amazing and decisive, the real eternal monarch! I can't wait for it~~~~~~" The man lowered his voice, but every word and sentence was very clear, his eyes were full of sarcasm, although he bowed his head in apology, the corners of his mouth were full of complacency.

Around him were officials from the upper court, passing by Zimo wiping his robes.

He suddenly felt that the clouds above his head were spinning around him rapidly, causing his vision to blur for a while.Staring at the man in a daze, Zi Mo clenched his fists, making the man take a step back in fright.

Staring down at Nadanbi's depiction at his feet, the cold light of the stone carving hurt his eyes.Looking at the big brother, the big brother's eyes are cold.His throat moved, but no words came out.Flicking his sleeves and passing those people, Zi Mo walked towards the main hall.

"Hey, I don't care about people anymore! A concubine who can't even enter the Gao family's ancestral temple can only rely on his good skills to curry favor. We, the children of the separated family, are nothing, just for Xiao Wan. He Xiaoyu, you are not worth it! This is after all the dignified Emperor Wenxiang. I thought everyone was high-spirited, but I didn’t expect him to be so shameless. It is said that the Lanling Palace was built like a palace. He returned to Yecheng Just moved in, flaunting one's might and daring to surpass your elder brothers and set up your own family, it's really heartless!" The young master who had just provoked Zimo chattered behind him, taking the opportunity to alienate him.The eldest brother still didn't speak, but Zimo's heart was cold because of this.

Facing upward, Zi Mo looks at the nose with the eyes, the mouth with the nose, and the heart with the mouth.He seemed to be in a trance, but the matter of the court meeting in the hall echoed clearly in his ears.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year came, there were rare visitors in Yecheng.The envoys of the State of Song went north and escorted more than [-] vehicles of grain and treasures as tributes to the emperor of the State of Qi.

The people in Yecheng lined up to welcome them, because rice from Jiangnan was a rare commodity in Yecheng. With these grains entering the treasury, the price of rice in the market might even be a little cheaper.The people in Yecheng are so pragmatic, so the peace-seeking team from the Song Dynasty was apprehensive, but after entering the capital of Qi State, they found that the scene was much friendlier than they had expected.

The common people are looking forward to grain, and many ministers in the court have changed their positions due to the small gifts presented by the special envoy of the Song Dynasty. They kept writing to Gao Zhan that peace is the most important thing. Strike while the iron is hot, the main fighters who want to pacify Jiangnan have eased their attitude.Money can turn ghosts around, but I don't know how much money the Song Dynasty royal family spent this time to make the two major generals of the Duan family who have always been tough no longer mention the Southern Expedition.

Zimo looked at the silent old general Duan Shao, he is not someone who can impress with rare treasures, and he has been personally leading troops to garrison at the border between Qi and Zhou after the war and only returned recently In Yecheng, the old general was neither aggressive nor timid, and even he changed his attitude, probably because the situation in Zhou State had changed.

"Your Majesty." Old General Duan stepped forward to ask.

"Huh? Does the old general have a good opinion?" Gao Zhan was on the throne, he looked ahead, and when he saw Duan Shao approaching, he asked with a smile.Since that day, Zimo never asked Gao Zhan to see him again, and His Majesty the Emperor never summoned him to the palace to listen to him in private.Zimo was a little worried about Gao Zhan's body, and secretly asked a few eunuchs, but he was relieved when they said that the dragon's body was fine.He wanted to put an end to the turmoil in Yecheng as soon as possible, and when the matter of the third brother no longer worried him, he would leave this place that weighed him down. . . . . .Outside the imperial city, there is a phoenix waiting for him.In the future, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and we can roam freely together. This expectation should not be far away. . . . . .Thinking of Murong Chong's letter two days ago, Zi Mo's mouth curled into a happy smile.

A piercing gaze seemed to penetrate his reverie, and Zimo raised his head, only to find that no one was looking at him.His majesty the emperor looked straight at him in a casual manner, leaving Zimo feeling strange.I can't tell what it smells like, but Gao Zhan's eyes glanced at the court these days, even if it was like a superficial glance, he felt a thorn in his back.Thinking of the gossip and gossip in the court, Zimo looked at the emperor in high position, thinking that this was probably Gao Zhan's revenge. He thought he was an ambitious man who planned to serve others with Israel.With the scheming and strategy of His Majesty the Emperor, he can easily use such means.But. . . . . .His chest seemed to be scratched, and he looked down at his toes, feeling inexplicably sad.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I have been leading the war before is because Jiangnan is a rich and prosperous place in the world, and now that the morale of the Song Dynasty is low, it is a great opportunity for our country to annex the South. However, I have recently received a secret report that the Zhou Kingdom has regained its momentum and changed its fatigue. If I attack south at this time, I am afraid that I will be attacked by the enemy, and I will be defeated by Zhou Guo! In this way, the minister is now in peace!" Duan Shao said loudly.

"Oh? Didn't Zhou Guo's Yuwen old thief say that he was defeated and injured, and almost died of anger? Zhou Guo should be facing internal and external troubles, why did he suddenly go against the trend?" Gao Zhan squeezed the jade wrench on his finger , asked puzzledly.

"Report to the emperor, taking advantage of the defeat of Yuwen's old thief, Yu Wenyong, the young emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, and the ten Guozhu generals who secretly won over, actually took away the military power of Yuwen Hu and put the old thief under house arrest! And he five days ago Marrying the eldest princess of the Turkic tribe, the Turkic Khan handed over the power of dispatching soldiers and horses to Yu Wenyong! A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, this Yu Wenyong is coming fiercely, and it will become a serious disaster. We must guard against it!" Duan Shao reported heavily.
