Loyalty Hou Tiansheng rebellious

The rain was getting heavier, and the chill climbed up the wet clothes.

At the bow of the boat, He Xing and Chen Hen stood face to face, speechless for a while.

He Xing looked at him with a complex expression.Being loyal to Li Yan in front of others, and Li Yan is not around, and still so airy, it's just... It's not like taking a hostage at all, but like inviting a god.

"You literati just speak nicely." He Xingman waved his hands indifferently, "How you treat Li Yan has nothing to do with me."

The subordinates stepped forward to drag Chen Hen down.

Chen Hen flicked the hem of his clothes, folded his hands, walked around them without saying a word, and turned to leave.

He Xing grabbed his hair and pulled him back: "You literati are calculating and have a dirty heart. Don't make any small moves."

Chen Hen was grabbed by him abruptly, his head was thrown back, and he said bitterly: "If you want to catch me, you deserve what I do."

"I only want what I want, what I don't want—" He Xing pulled him back, and said in a low voice, "I won't give it back to you either, I'll pass it on to that young master Lin."

"How dare you..." Chen Hen didn't say a word because of the pain from being caught.

"I'm not a literati, I'm not so particular, I don't care about reputation." He Xing smiled darkly, "Before you do things, think about others. That young master Lin kindly took you to Jiangnan, and there are two days left He's home. If you killed him in front of his house, how can you do him justice?"

Seeing that Chen Hen's complexion turned pale in a blink of an eye, He Xing let go of his hand: "I'm done talking, you go."

After returning to the cabin, Chen Hen went in, and the people outside closed the cabin door.

He glanced twice in the dark, and there were two people guarding the door.

He couldn't run away, the boat was on the river, no matter how good his water skills were, how could he escape in this weather and his current physical condition?What's more, Lin Nian is still there, so we can't leave him alone.

He regained his senses, slowed down his pace, and walked around the new cabin.

The cabin is well furnished, warm quilts and soft pillows, ancient calligraphy and paintings, all of which are the hobbies of literati.

In order to test people outside, Chen Hen raised his hand and dropped a teacup.

As soon as the teacup was broken, the people outside quickly opened the door and came in.With his back to them, Chen Hen stood where he was, with his eyes lowered, only staring at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

The guards outside the door quickly picked up the broken porcelain pieces.After a while, a few more people came and replaced all the teacups and porcelain in the cabin with wooden ones.

He Xing was afraid that he would die, after all, the living were the bargaining chips that could be pushed to the front of the two armies.

If he died, it would drive Li Yan crazy, that would be bad.

If he wants to seek death, there are thousands of ways, how can those people outside the door stop him?

Death is of course the best countermeasure, and of course it is also the last countermeasure.

After probing, Chen Hen didn't do anything else, and sat on the couch peacefully for a while.

The incident just now had exhausted him physically and mentally.

After only a short delay, he got up again after distinguishing the various forces, pros and cons clearly in his mind.

Gently moved the stool to the porthole, climbed onto the stool, lay down on the edge of the porthole, and took out a small bamboo whistle from his belt, which was used to find the fat pigeon that delivered the letter.

This method may not work.

That fat pigeon was caught and raised by Li Yan when he was in Chang'an, and I don't know if Li Yan released it or not.

Even if the carrier pigeon is released, I don't know if it has followed, and it is so fat, how can it fly for ten days to deliver letters for him?

The bamboo whistle blew twice, Chen Hen was afraid of disturbing them, so he didn't dare to blow it more, and he blew it two more times, but there was no response, so he climbed off the stool.

Useless.

Chen Hen put away the whistle.

The cabin door was pulled open suddenly, and he looked back, it was someone from outside who brought the food.

It was served on a wooden tray and placed on the ground.

The sky was overcast, and only then did Chen Hen realize that it was already noon.

It's just that I don't feel like eating, and I don't even look at those dishes.Chen Hen was listless, turned around and went to lie down on the couch.

Just thinking about countermeasures, I don't know how many hours later, he was really sleepy, and Chen Hen fell asleep when he blinked his eyes.

The Yangju Palace was solemn and solemn, and it had been almost a month and a half. The servants in the palace were having a hard time serving them. They only dared to speak in a breathless voice, dared not cough, let alone laugh, for fear of disturbing the emperor accidentally.

In fact, the emperor never lost his temper with them, it was because they dared not.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at them coldly, that was powerful enough.

Recently, due to a certain incident, the palace people no longer dared to hide in the apse to be lazy, and the apse of the sanctuary, a gathering place, was also deserted for a long time.

The palace attendant in front of the palace said softly: "Oh, it would be great if Lord Hou came back."

Another palace attendant said: "As long as at that time, one of us goes up and stops Lord Hou, that's fine."

"That's right, it would be good to stop Master Hou at that time." The palace who spoke first said humanely, "Whether you can receive the reward is another matter, and it doesn't have to be like this now. Those who served the palaces in the past envied us to live here." It's over, now..."

"Hou Ye doesn't know what he thinks, what can be more important than the emperor?"

Just as he was talking, Eunuch Gao came out from the hall with a teacup in his hand.

The two palace servants hurriedly stopped talking, bowed their bodies and took two steps back.

Eunuch Gao said with a cold face: "When Master Hou was here, you all hid like that. It's only been a month, and you all have mournful faces. Those who don't know think I'm mean to you."

The two did not dare to talk, but boldly explained: "The slaves are seeing the emperor's pain, and they also feel uncomfortable in their hearts. They sincerely hope that the prince will come back soon."

Eunuch Gao sighed and stood guard in front of the hall for a while.Until noon, Li Shi from the Hongqing Palace came from the palace road over there.

Eunuch Gao hurriedly went up to meet him: "Master, come to hand in today's article?"

During this month, Li Yan asked Li Shi to hand in a policy article every day at noon, which was approved with a Chinese ink brush, and then returned to him for him to go back and ponder.

"Yes." Li Shi nodded, and took out a roll of rice paper from his sleeve, "Thank you, Father."

Eunuch Gao went in holding the policy theory, but Li Shi didn't go in, he just stood outside the door and waited.

When handing in the essay at the beginning, Li Yan said that he was a brat and didn't know anything.The past few days have gotten better. They say that he is hard to carve with rotten wood, but he can make do with it for a while.

After waiting outside for half an hour, Eunuch Gao came out, but he didn't get the approved article: "My lord, the emperor let you in."

Li Shi straightened his clothes and walked in.

When he entered, the cat in the Hou's mansion was sleeping on the long table, and Li Yan was squeezed aside to review the papers, which was very funny.

Before he had time to make a bow, Li Yan didn't raise his head, he just said: "Come here."

Li Shi responded, and took two steps forward.

"Aren't you very courageous in the past? Why are you so timid now?" Li Yanyi pointed to the cushion in front of the desk, "Come and sit."

Li Shi stepped forward with his clothes hem in hand, and knelt down in front of Li Yan.

"The articles written in the past few days are a bit interesting. From today on, you come and learn."

That was really a rebellious thing, Li Shi didn't dare to think too much, he pursed his lips, and only asked: "Your brother...what do you want to learn?"

"Handle political affairs." Li Yan said casually, as if it was not an important matter, "I have dealt with the important matters in the past few days, and the rest of the court will help you. You and Prime Minister Su have a lot of things to do Listen to Prime Minister Su, if you can't decide, you can send a letter and ask me."

Having talked about this point, and not caring about any politeness, Li Shi raised his eyes and looked at him: "Then the emperor..."

"I went to Jiangnan for a walk."

Too much fun.

Li Shi thought for a while and asked, "Is the emperor going with General Wu?"

"I go first." Li Yan raised his hand and squeezed the space between his eyebrows twice, "It's too late for him to lead the army."

Li Shi wanted to speak again, but Eunuch Gao tried to wink at him.He kept his mouth shut, he could not speak, but he couldn't sit still.He got up and bowed, said his goodbyes and left.

Li Yan smiled, wrote on the notebook in front of him, and talked to Eunuch Gao: "Is he afraid?"

Eunuch Gao replied with a compensatory smile: "My son is only 12 years old."

"Su Xiang is 50 years old. It is enough for the two of them to complement each other." Li Yan sighed, "If it weren't for the lack of people in the clan, how could I use him?"

Li Shi left Yangju Hall all the way, and went back to Hongqing Hall to think for an afternoon.After thinking about it, I still feel that this matter is too childish.

In the evening, he went to Yangju Hall again, preparing to explain the matter clearly to Li Yan.

At that time, Eunuch Gao was still guarding in front of the palace. When he saw him coming, he stopped him first and persuaded him softly: "I am afraid that the emperor must go to the south of the Yangtze River. We didn't know before. The emperor thinks so much of Lord Hou." Heavy. If the son of the world resigns from this matter, I'm afraid the emperor will wield his sword again."

Li Shi said a few soft words to him, but he still walked inside.

Pushing open the door of the inner room, I saw Li Yan taking a nap on the table, and the cat on the table was also asleep, and fell asleep with him.

Li Shi paused, then backed out with a light movement.

"Eunuch Lao told the emperor that I will learn to deal with political affairs as soon as possible."

Chen Hen was used to the bumpy boat and the waterway for more than a month.

But now that he was on He Xing's boat, he couldn't sleep well, and woke up after squinting for a while.He stared at a certain part of the tent with wide eyes, and then stared blankly for a long time.

Also in the evening, someone opened the door and came in.

Not wanting to make any more entanglements, Chen Hen closed his eyes and just pretended to be asleep.

Hearing the sound, the man should have taken away the food placed in front of the door.

After a while, another person came in from the outside. The person walked two steps forward in a shaky footstep, threw himself on the side of the couch, and called him timidly: "Mr. Lin..."

It's Lin Nian.

Chen Hen opened his eyes and sat up from the couch: "What did they do to you?"

Lin Nian wiped tears with the back of his hand: "They don't give food."

"what?"

"They said you don't eat, and I don't eat, let me persuade you to eat."

Chen Hen couldn't hold back, and cursed: "What's bothering them if they don't eat?"

Lin Nian shook his sleeve pitifully: "If you really don't want to eat, then don't eat, I can hold on for a while."

"No, I'll eat with you." Chen Hen got up and went to bed, "I'll talk to them."

Lin Nian tugged on his sleeve, "There is one more important thing."

"what?"

"You really are a liar!"

"Young master, don't make trouble. All right, all right, I'll coax you." Chen Hen turned his back to the door, took his hand, and wrote a few words on his palm.

Lin Nian was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.The other hand imitated his appearance and drew a few words on the hem of the clothes.

"I'm sorry, you can't go home for the time being." Chen Hen whispered again, "Are you good at swimming?"

Lin Nian nodded, Chen Hen winked at him again: "Speak."

"Oh." Lin Nian understood and shouted, "You liar!"

Taking advantage of his voice to be covered, Chen Hen held his hand, suppressed his voice and said: "Remember, when you get off the boat, go here. Tell me my name, my name is Chen Liting. Let the matter go." Tell the people there, they know what to do."

"But why do I..."

Chen Hen smiled and rubbed his.Head: "I will think of ideas."

Lin Nian looked at him and nodded in a daze.
