[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

What Emperor Zhengde wanted to do was to find out about the Tatar situation within two months.It is impossible to know the detailed content, at most some rough estimates, but this is enough for Zhu Houzhao.

After sending people out, Emperor Zhengde began to torment these civil servants who had followed him around for three or four months.

In fact, most of the civil servants now have a...not very friendly attitude towards the emperor.After all, when he left Datong for Xuanfu, the emperor directly knocked him unconscious and took him away.And without discussing with the old cabinet ministers, the emperor suddenly threw out a shocking news about himself as a general. How could these dogmatic officials accept it?

It's fine if you don't get pissed off by the emperor, how can you have a good face towards the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao was not afraid, he poked them one by one with a smile, and chatted with them when he had nothing to do. After a few days, they were so scared that they almost thought that the emperor was bewitched.They had never received such a good attitude from the emperor on weekdays, and they couldn't stand such a sudden move.

Jiao Shizhi looked at Emperor Zhengde who came back satisfied again, and shook his head dumbfoundingly, "You're going to scare those grown-ups out of nowhere, don't you plan to explain the reason to them now?"

Emperor Zhengde lay on the bed with his legs crossed, with a look of idleness, "Tell them what to do? Tell them that I want to fight now, or that I want to fight in person, or that I want to go to Yanghe?"

"It's appropriate to talk about it, which one will not be opposed by them when it comes out?"

Jiao Shizhi was silent, the few things the emperor said, not to mention actions, even if they were brought up, someone would die to persuade them.

Zhu Houzhao's mind is actually very clear. Instead of passive defense every year, he hopes that the Ming army will completely kill the Tatars, so that they will be too afraid to violate the border again.

In the past few decades, from repeated battles and repeated defeats to the current close match, the army of the Ming Dynasty is not inferior.Although slightly weaker in cavalry, the Tatars at this time were not the Mongols of earlier years, and had already declined a lot.If you talk about it, there is nothing you can't beat.

It's just that the peace faction within the imperial court still has the upper hand. Now that the news that the emperor is in Xuancheng is transmitted back, it will definitely cause an uproar, and after that, all the memorials will fly to Xuancheng.

"If Tatar really shows signs of frequent transfers, what do you want?" Jiao Shizhi asked softly.

Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation, "Of course it's beating!"

Once there is any trace of mobilization, it means that they really have a plan, otherwise the current season is not a good time to go out.

"But you know that if the Tatars didn't provoke a war in advance, the court would not agree." Jiao Shizhi said after thinking.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, and said in a strange tone: "Shizhi, do you still remember the evaluation of me in the court?" The emperor's smile has a different charm.Jiao Shizhi said helplessly, "I'm afraid you have some 'good idea' again, don't you?"

Emperor Zhengde nodded again and said with a smile, "Of course."

Jiao Shizhi took a deep breath, and asked gently: "Can you tell me in advance, what is your idea?"

Emperor Zhengde shook his head, and said complacently: "I can't tell right now, so don't worry about it. If I really come up with something, I will definitely tell you."

Half a month later, the spies reported that the [-] left-wing households in Chahar, Khalkha, and Wulianghai held by the Tatar leader Dayan Khan had not been significantly transferred, while the right-wing [-] households had obviously been transferred to four places. , missing.

After Xuancheng General Soldier informed Emperor Zhengde of the report, Zhu Houzhao's face sank obviously, and the [-] households on the left wing did not change at all. Is Dayan Khan trying to cover it up, or has other intentions?

"Since the Tatars knocked down the customs in Ningxia, has there been any change in the Tatars in the past few years?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Chen Qiaoping clasped his hands and said: "The number of harassments has decreased in recent years, but I occasionally received reports that the iron mines in Tatar were excavated at a faster rate. Although there is no iron in Tatar, according to this, Perhaps it is storing strength for future battles."

Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows, looked at Chen Qiaoping and said, "Since there is already such a guess, why don't you act first and let the Tatars prepare?" Attempts, Chen Qiaoping dare to narrate so bluntly in front of him? !

Chen Qiaoping smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I have been stationed in the border town for many years, so I don't think I can completely eliminate this disaster. However, we are now like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who don't understand the Tatar habits and environment, and rashly go deep and easily be broken. Two Come on, there are too few main battle factions in the DPRK and China, even if the last general waved his flag and drums, it would be of no avail."

Emperor Zhengde snorted softly, "Comparing the Tatars with the Huns, it is too much to look down on them. They are just a pack of wolves, but they cannot be eagles."

Seeing the emperor flinging his sleeves and leaving, Chen Qiaoping thought about what the emperor said just now, but he was a little hesitant. If he didn't feel wrong, did the emperor intend to...?

Zhu Houzhao kept thinking about one thing on the way back, and he didn't react until he entered the house. It was Jiao Shizhi who suddenly came back to his senses after yelling.

Jiao Shizhi took a careful look at the emperor before he said, "What are you thinking about so obsessively? I thought something happened to you."

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile: "I just went to see someone, how could something happen."

"But that's not what your eyebrows said." Jiao Shizhi pointed at Zhu Houzhao, pushed Emperor Zhengde to the front of the bronze mirror, and looked at his raised eyebrows, "Don't you think this is a strong proof? "

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, "I'm really happy that Shizhi is so observant of me. You're right, I did encounter something." He told Jiao Shizhi what Chen Qiaoping told him just now.

Jiao Shizhi also frowned unconsciously, "You mean, the Tatars are indeed making preparations, but the timing is not enough, so they still stand still."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and took two steps inside the house, "Because I saw their wanton development in Datong before, I thought it was imminent, but now it seems that I may be wrong. The matter of Datong is not urgent. It’s not that we discovered it in advance, and it will take a few more years to take effect, and this time happens to be the period when they are preparing. I have almost no experience in proactive provocation, so it is a rare leisure for them.”

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, inadvertently with a little force, making his lips pale, "Are you planning to take the initiative?"

"Yes and no." Emperor Zhengde said, "Now is not a good time. The heavy snow is not a good time for them to be active, and it is not good for us. Even if I force the transfer of the army now, it is useless. At least until winter passes."

The good day when the grass grows and the warbler flies is also a good day when the heavy snow melts.

Jiao Shizhi smiled wryly, "It seems that the palace has to make a plan for you not to go back this year."

Emperor Zhengde pretended to be surprised, "Don't they know that I never thought I could go back years ago?"

Jiao Shizhi couldn't laugh or cry, "The plan you showed them clearly stated that you will return to the palace in December. I didn't say that."

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his nose, grinning and leaned over to Jiao Shizhi's side and rubbed his shoulders, "You should block for me more on the minister's side, it's really a headache to be besieged by them every time."

"Didn't you go to harass them? Li Ge said they couldn't bear it anymore." Jiao Shizhi said seriously.

Zhu Houzhao was dissatisfied, "Do they have any dissatisfaction with me as the emperor? I have spent so much time talking with them, I really don't know what to do." He said so, but there was a mischievous smile on his face.

Jiao Shizhi said, "Yes, so don't blame them for what they did to you, at least it was mutual." He made a fair judgment.

Emperor Zhengde pouted, pulled Jiao Shizhi and said, "I am the emperor."

Jiao Shizhi comforted him casually, "Yes, you are the emperor. So please let me go quickly. Since we are going to celebrate the festival in Xuancheng, we have to talk to the capital. You should let me know first."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, "I haven't moved yet, they should have known about it a long time ago." He waved his hands and said, as if he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.Jiao Shizhi helplessly pulled him up and pushed him towards the desk, "Don't try to save trouble, just write quickly. If you write now, you may be able to pass the news before the holiday. Even if You don't want to tell the court ministers, don't you even tell the empress dowager?"

After successfully persuading Emperor Zhengde to go to work, Jiao Shizhi immersed himself in dealing with trivial matters, and he was relieved when he was done.Not only for endless things, but also for the relaxation of Emperor Zhengde.

On the way to Xuancheng, Emperor Zhengde was always in a tense state. Jiao Shizhi knew his knot in his heart and did not try to comfort him.This is not something that can be settled simply by appeasing. If there is a real battle, the emperor must be in extremely complicated mood.There is both the joy of fulfilling a long-cherished wish and the annoyance of the upcoming war.In any case, the current situation is better than the previous passive situation, but I don't know what the emperor thinks now.

When they heard the news that they would celebrate the New Year in Xuancheng, oh, they didn’t know that, when half of December passed and the emperor still had no plans to leave, most people had already accepted this painful reality.Especially those ministers who have been used to being walked by the emperor.

After Jiao Shizhi went to tell them one by one, recalling the desperate expressions on some faces, he almost laughed out loud when he came out.It's really rare for these few to be late, but they haven't been out of Beijing for a long time, and the feeling of being out of Beijing in the past few months has been so comfortable, he was a little worried that the emperor would prefer to go out after returning.After all, even he feels this way, let alone the emperor who has always disliked the palace?Even the Qianqing Palace has become a decoration, not to mention others.

Back in his room, Emperor Zhengde had already occupied the innermost kang, lying on the comfortable bed, not knowing what he was looking at.As soon as he saw Jiao Shizhi coming back, he waved to him and said with a smile: "Shizhi, come and have a look."

Jiao Shizhi thought it was something important, and walked over obediently, looking at the figure on the book in Emperor Zhengde's hand, he took a deep breath of embarrassment, resisted the desire to turn his head and said: "You are just planning to make up for you technique?"

Emperor Zhengde's body froze, and his interested expression also froze.He squinted his eyes and looked up at Jiao Shizhi, showing his white teeth, "Shizhi is planning to try?" Jiao Shizhi suddenly stepped back a few steps for the sake of safety, and said seriously: "After all, I am really I can't imagine you studying with a erotic picture in one hand, I almost thought something was wrong with you."

Zhu Houzhao lifted the quilt and sat cross-legged, threw the erotic picture under the bed, clasped his hands and said with a smile to Jiao Shizhi: "Come here."

Jiao Shizhi shook his head honestly, "I'm afraid you're going to do something bad."

Zhu Houzhao pointed at the sky outside angrily and amusedly, "What can I do in broad daylight now?" As soon as he finished speaking, Jiao Shizhi immediately sat down beside him, obediently looking at the astonished eyes of Emperor Zhengde , "You said you didn't do anything."

Emperor Zhengde: ... In fact, he still has a little bit, wants to do it, and so on.

Under the attack of Jiao Shizhi's eyes, Zhu Houzhao said helplessly: "When did you learn this skill? And what happened to my erotic pictures, haven't you seen them?"

Jiao Shizhi's eyes wandered suspiciously for a moment, and then he said: "No." I don't know if the time when I accidentally saw the emperor almost being forced into a bow was counted.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at Jiao Shishang up and down, and muttered some inaudible words, "...no wonder, so...pure..." Jiao Shizhi aimed at Emperor Zhengde's lips, trying to read the words what is it.Emperor Zhengde smiled when he noticed it, and said word by word: "I just said why you were so pure back then, um..." Jiao Shizhi covered his mouth before he finished speaking.

The palm of his hand suddenly got wet, and Jiao Shizhi flinched and immediately shrank back. Emperor Zhengde licked his lips and said with a smile, "No matter how many times it has passed, Shizhi will never remember the lesson." Jiao Shizhi looked at the emperor With that hateful smile on his face, there was an urge to punch him off.

But in the end, the thought disappeared in the light kiss on the lips.

……

Although Xuancheng is a border town, the people in the town are also happy to welcome the annual New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers is everywhere, and before New Year's Eve, it is full of festive hustle and bustle.

Emperor Zhengde was ready to run out, but he was caught by Jiao Shizhi or Li Dongyang several times.These two are people who are very familiar with his temperament, and they know that the emperor must be restless now, but even if the emperor goes out now, he will definitely not be able to resist going out again on New Year's Eve.

Since the New Year's Eve can't be stopped no matter what, why not just worry about it once?

Both Jiao Shizhi and Li Dongyang had the same idea, and the two cooperated very well, which made Emperor Zhengde feel uncomfortable, and he looked at Jiao Shizhi pitifully, "Shizhi, how can you betray me? "

Jiao Shizhi looked at the memorial in his hand without raising his head, since he refused to let the emperor go out, he refused to correct the memorial.Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe had to spend a certain amount of time every day to make corrections, and Jiao Shizhi had to deal with the rest of the things that Emperor Zhengde didn't want to let the two elders know.In fact, all the main forces who obstructed Emperor Zhengde were tied to the documents, but Jiao Shizhi also had a way.

He moved to Emperor Zhengde's house.

Of course, on the bright side, he was sleeping outside, and then he took the lead in sitting on the desk outside to make corrections. No matter how much Emperor Zhengde wanted to go out, he would never be able to jump out of the window in front of Jiao Shizhi.As for the evening, it would be even easier. At that time, Jiao Shizhi would naturally follow him after he had finished dealing with the matter.

"If you go out these few days, can you not go on New Year's Eve?"

Jiao Shizhi closed the memorial and looked at the frustrated emperor sitting across from him.

"Of course...no."

Emperor Zhengde muttered, and Jiao Shizhi spread his hands, "Although Xuancheng is under Chen Qiaoping's control, nothing should happen. But the streets are still too lively during the festival. It's better for you to go less."

"I have to have a banquet with those guys that night. It gives me a headache just thinking about it." Emperor Zhengde also knew this truth, and the reason for making trouble later was to attract Jiao Shizhi's attention.Zhu Houzhao likes the way Jiao Shizhi's gaze falls on him the most, with an unusually bright clarity and carefully hidden admiration, which makes him feel very comfortable every moment.

Emperor Zhengde took care to hide such small thoughts that are not humane.

"Since we can't get out, why don't we talk about something meaningful?" Emperor Zhengde suggested, and it was obvious that Jiao Shizhi's memorial was almost completed.Jiao Shizhi glanced at the memorial, and Emperor Zhengde shook his head firmly, expressing his unwillingness to make corrections.

Jiao Shizhi raised his forehead, "Look at it anyway, this is a matter of the court, even if I can handle it, but this is your authority." Only the emperor has the right to grant reds, and the supervisor of ceremonies is granted to use part of it. And others have nothing to do with it.Even after the memorials corrected by the two elders were sent back, Emperor Zhengde would look at them with interest, but he sent them away without even looking at the ones corrected by Jiao Shizhi.

At the beginning, Jiao Shizhi didn't know about this matter, but after learning about it, he was surprised for a moment, then racked his brains to think about how to get the emperor to take a look, but so far without success.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not easy for me to relax a bit. Does Shizhi want me to re-experience the hard work of so much work?"

Jiao Shizhi sighed, "You, this is really against the rules." If he knew this would happen, Jiao Shizhi should never have taken over this matter before.Emperor Zhengde held Jiao Shizhi's hand holding the brush, took the brush with the other hand, and painted a dot of ink on the back of Jiao Shizhi's hand, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Shizhi trust my vision? Shizhi has always been so optimistic."

Jiao Shizhi said: "It's not because of this, what if I have a different heart for you? You trust me too much, it's not good for you."

Emperor Zhengde poked Jiao Shizhi's wrist with a brush, leaving a big black spot, and said bitterly: "You have to say such things to make me angry, don't you? Seeing me angry makes you happy?"

Jiao Shizhi said, "You know that's not what I meant."

"I don't know what you mean." Emperor Zhengde threw away the brush, and held Jiao Shizhi's wrist indifferently, making his palm black, "If I can't even trust you, then I can't trust you." Isn't it too sad, there is not even a trustworthy person around. It's too miserable to be an emperor, right?"

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, leaned forward and kissed Emperor Zhengde's forehead, "I didn't mean that." This sentence was exactly the same as the previous sentence, but the tone was completely different.Emperor Zhengde looked at Jiao Shizhi and said, "You are worried about making a mistake, so why not be afraid, no matter what happens, I will support you."

Jiao Shizhi nodded with a sigh, and didn't bring up the topic again.

New Year's Eve arrived in the blink of an eye, Xuancheng was no different from before, but the minds of those officials were completely different.Emperor Zhengde, who is far away in the sky on weekdays, actually celebrates the New Year here this year. How can they not make them excited and happy, but also a little inexplicably cautious, after all, the emperor is notorious for his temper.Fortunately, after General Chen Qiaoping greeted them personally, the banquet went smoothly, and there seemed to be no major problems.

Jiao Shizhi sat in the lower position according to the rank, watched the emperor chatting with several local Xuancheng officials, and then slipped out of the banquet hall with a glass of wine.It was snowing outside again, Jiao Shizhi pulled off his cloak when he came out, but he didn't feel how cold it was.Stepped on the white snow and walked a few steps, not daring to go far for fear that the emperor would come to find him, stood under the tree and took a deep breath of bitter breath, which slowly condensed into a white mist visible to the naked eye around his mouth.

"It's rare to see you not with the emperor." A teasing voice came from behind, and Jiao Shizhi turned his head to look, but it was Li Dongyang.Mr. Li Ge was wearing a black cloak, which was very obvious.

Jiao Shizhi knew that Li Dongyang knew about his relationship with the emperor.In private, naturally, she should have talked to the emperor.It's just that the emperor never told him these things, and Jiao Shizhi just remained silent in response to Li Dongyang's probing words just now.

The slightly drunkenness made his thoughts slow down a bit. He was just thinking about why Li Ge was always like this. Before he finished thinking, Li Dongyang walked to his side and looked up at the tree covered with branches covered with snow. .

Li Dongyang warmed his hands with a small hand stove in his hand, looked at the cold wine glass in Jiao Shizhi's hand and said with a smile, "Young people are strong and strong, so I can't do it. Not relaxed."

Jiao Shizhi said: "Don't say that, you are an old man, and your ambition is thousands of miles away. Cao Mengde's age of reciting poems is similar to yours, and you still have a lot of time waiting for you."

Li Dongyang laughed and said, "Ren Zhi, I've heard too many obedient words, but you are the only one I like. However, the older this person is, the more he likes to chatter. , I also told you a lot of things, and I really trouble you." Once Li Dongyang breaks away from his appearance in the officialdom, he will become very gentle and humble, the same with everyone and everything.But Li Ge's thank you still made Jiao Shizhi startled, and he didn't even dare to say it.

Snowflakes fell on the brows, and quickly dyed the eyebrows of the two of them white. Li Dongyang saw Jiao Shizhi's white eyebrows, and after secretly laughing, he talked again, "Shizhi, wise people don't talk about dark things." Speaking of which, I am not the one who is used to beating around the bush. The emperor once hinted to me about one thing, and I want to know what you think."

Jiao Shizhi's mind is sober, which may be the reason why Li Gelao followed him out today.Looking back at the lively scene in the house, he said softly to Li Dongyang: "Mr. Li Ge, let me go here. I would like to hear the details."

When Zhu Houzhao got away from the group of officials, he looked back to find Jiao Shizhi, only to find that he was no longer in the arena at some point.Looking at the same vacant position next to Li Dongyang, he moaned while covering his head, cursing the soldiers who had just persuaded him to drink and himself who was drinking, stood up straight and pulled Le Xiao over, kicking him to find someone.

He sat on his head and rubbed his forehead. Military generals are always bold, especially after staying at the border for a long time. Emperor Zhengde put on a good face, but in fact it was a bit too much.

Jiao Shizhi followed Le Xiao in, and saw Emperor Zhengde's frowning expression at a glance, and walked up to him in two or three steps, "Are you okay?" Gathered together, said in a low voice, "It's okay, I've already drank the hangover soup."

Zhu Hou looked at the people around him who were starting to drink and limp, and stood up with a stinky face, "Let's go, we've got together today, and it's our own time, I don't want to stay here any longer." Jiao Shizhi He helped Emperor Zhengde to go around the outer layer and walked out, but it didn't attract many people's attention.

When going out, Li Dongyang happened to enter the door, looked at Emperor Zhengde's face cheerfully and said, "Your Majesty is having a good time today? Don't wander around for too long, just take a rest early." They can stop the Emperor until today. Even if the emperor could be seen staggering now, Li Dongyang knew that he would not be able to stop him today.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at him lightly, and went out muttering, "You're so talkative."

Li Dongyang stood on the spot, passed the two of them, and moved his stiff feet to walk inside after a long time. Isn't he just talking too much?

The conversation with Jiao Shizhi in the garden just now flashed before his eyes.

Li Dongyang knew that he and Jiao Shizhi would have a conversation eventually, but even he didn't expect it to be at this time.It's just that since the northern tour, Li Dongyang has noticed that a certain aggressiveness is gradually coming, and he has vaguely noticed that something is wrong with the emperor.

Although he didn't know what Emperor Zhengde's plan was.

He looked at Jiao Shizhi who had a pure face and was almost shielded from all wind and rain by the emperor, and he couldn't help but lament his good luck and his bad luck in his heart.If it is a woman, this is of course the best luck in the world, but if it falls on a man, it cannot be said that it is completely "good".

Li Dongyang wanted to say a lot of things, but he didn't expect Jiao Shizhi to be the first person to speak, "Old Li Ge, today's conversation will not be passed on to the third person. You want to ask me about the emperor?" Is it something?" Although it was a question, it carried a certain calmness.

Li Dongyang sighed, and subconsciously rubbed the hand stove twice with the palm of his hand. After realizing it, he stopped, "This matter... the emperor has already talked to me before. But after tomorrow, the emperor will be twenty and five. How long can it be delayed?"

Jiao Shizhi's lips were a little pale, and he breathed out, and a large cloud of white mist dissipated around his mouth, "It's no use for Li Ge to look for me all the time. Since you know what happened, if I'm the one who persuaded you, Your Majesty I must be furious. If I did something like waiting for the clouds and wild cranes to drift away, I must be the first person wanted in the world during Zhengde's reign. I don't know what the emperor will do under the impulsiveness."

"I won't gamble with these things I don't know. If Li Ge keeps talking about this matter, I can only refuse."

What Li Dongyang wanted to say was almost finished by Jiao Shizhi, and he was stunned for a moment before shaking his head helplessly, "Ren Zhi has already thought it through."

Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly, and that little smile lit up his slightly gloomy face just now, "You should have come to look for me two years earlier. If that was the case, there might still be a possibility of redemption." At that time, let alone Together, even Jiao Shizhi himself is at the moment of conflict, he doesn't know how to judge good and bad.But once the decision was made, Jiao Shizhi couldn't allow himself to hesitate and regret it.

Jiao Shizhi's words made Li Dongyang twitch his eyebrows, and he suddenly asked: "Ren Zhi's character is such that he is unwilling to do such a reckless act. If the world knows it, it will only be infamy, but why..." The topic of gossip is obviously not something that Li Dongyang often brings up, so before he finished speaking, he shut up first.

Jiao Shizhi smiled, "I've asked myself this question many times. However, it will be the end of the day. There is no such thing as willing or not. If others despise me because of this, Then what is there to be afraid of? I am not someone who sits and waits to die."

"As for how it will be recorded in the history books thousands of years later, what does it matter if Jiao Shizhi in the history books is rich, rich, or shameless? What does it have to do with me now? It's just a piece of paper that people can scribble at will It’s just a blank sheet of paper.”

"I can't live for more than a hundred years. There are not many people who can take care of them. I can take care of one by one. The others have nothing to do with me."

At that time, Li Dongyang's eyes fell on the snowflakes falling behind him, and what he thought in his heart was that he was really young.

When he was young, he seemed to have had such indulgent moments, but people will eventually grow old.

Li Dongyang walked to his seat and sat down while panting. Yang Tinghe, who was beside him, looked at the military officers around him who were drinking in a mess, with indistinct disgust, "Where did Master Li go just now? It will be easy for me to find for a while."

Li Dongyang smiled and said: "It's too boring inside, I'll go out for a walk."

Yang Tinghe covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief and said: "Why don't we go with the emperor first, if we stay any longer, it will be even more out of control." Li Dongyang readily agreed, ordered his attendants to pack up their things, and got up to go out.

When I went out, the snowflakes outside the house had already covered up the continuous footprints just now, and it was back to normal.

Yang Tinghe rubbed his hands and said, "The weather is too cold, much colder than the capital."

Li Dongyang looked at the snow scene with a smile, "But it's also a different feeling, isn't it? Master Yang, do you want to go outside for a stroll?"

Yang Tinghe was surprised that Mr. Li Ge would actually make such a suggestion, but looking at the sky and listening to the continuous sound of firecrackers, he also felt a little bit of anticipation.

New Year.

Zhu Houzhao sobered up when he was about to go back, and Jiao Shizhi severely condemned Jiao Shizhi for trying to secretly bring him back, and then the two plunged into the busy street.

Even Xuancheng, an important town on the Nine Borders, is entitled to enjoy the festive Chinese New Year.The New Year's Eve here is completely different from that in the capital.The capital is a noble girl with elegance and grace, but here is a lively girl humming a country tune.Also in the north, the taste of the New Year here is more festive and lively.

Emperor Zhengde obviously prefers this place.

Jiao Shizhi was glad that he took the broken silver out. In less than a moment, Emperor Zhengde had raided many stalls, and even bought a mask for the two of them.Jiao Shizhi looked at the half mask handed to him, and said helplessly, "You are..."

Zhu Houzhao interrupted him with a smile, "I know you have Jin Yiwei following behind, don't they recognize our figure? It can only cover half of our face."

Indeed, the silver-white mask on Jiao Shizhi's hand can only cover the upper half of his face. Jiao Shizhi finally put on the mask under the instigation of Emperor Zhengde, and Emperor Zhengde's mask is golden yellow.After putting it on, Emperor Zhengde looked at Jiao Shizhi for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Sure enough, I still look good without the mask."

Jiao Shizhi reached out his hand to take it off amusedly, "I said it's meaningless." Emperor Zhengde reached out to stop Jiao Shizhi's movement, grabbed his wrist, and then slid down his palm.Jiao Shizhi was stunned, but was dragged forward by Emperor Zhengde, "No one knows who we are now, can't we even hold hands?"

Jin Yiwei followed behind them.

This obvious rebuttal was swallowed by Jiao Shizhi, and the two continued to hang out.

The loud sound of firecrackers caused smoke everywhere, but the slightly pungent smell became the most vivid embellishment on New Year's Eve. The laughter of children, the joy of boys and girls, and the smiling faces of passers-by , The stall owner shouted enthusiastically... The bustling crowd constituted a hundred images of all beings.

One silver and white mask, one gold mask, the person hiding behind the mask stole a kiss behind the street corner stall, no one knew who the person behind the mask was, and the passers-by yelled a few words, followed The crowd slowly dispersed.

And those two masks also moved in the crowd, and disappeared.
