Golden Wind Yulu

In the ninth year of Zhenghe in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Shun passed away.

Emperor Shun had no sons, and the vassal king supported his troops and looked at him covetously.The treacherous concubine Xiao controlled the harem, and the grand master Xiao Shou controlled the former dynasty. The Xiao family was already unparalleled, and now they are even more powerful.King Taiyuan of Jinyang led [-] elite soldiers into Jian'an, Kyoto overnight in the name of the Qing emperor, and besieged the Zhengde Hall of the imperial palace with Xiao Taishi and his henchmen.

The praying mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind him. Before the king of Taiyuan wakes up from the excitement that he is about to succeed and the throne of emperor is at his fingertips, he is surrounded by soldiers and besieged in the Zhengde Hall together with Taishi Xiao.At that time, the king of Taiyuan had just taken down Grand Master Xiao, when he heard the sound of heavy soldiers and armor being in uniform, a man sitting in a wheelchair came out of the separated crowd amidst frost swords and cold swords.

But seeing his white hair wins the snow, his appearance is superb, he is so handsome that he looks like a fairy.This person was originally Shen Yuyuan, the Grand Tutor of the dynasty, who became famous at a young age and had unparalleled wisdom.Today, he is thirty-six, and although his head is full of white hair, his face is not old.

Shen Yuyuan is a prince with a foreign surname, the head of the Shen family, one of the top aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He went to war at fifteen and became famous at sixteen. 24 The official worshiped Yipin, and Emperor Shun ascended the throne, so he was named Taifu again.When it comes to the power of the government and the opposition, the Xiao family is nothing but a clown.

It's just that Shen Yuyuan was attacked a few years ago and injured his spine. His lower body became paralyzed and he couldn't get up, so he began to live in seclusion.As soon as he retreated, it was like the scorching sun setting on a mountain, and the stars competing for glory, causing the Xiao family to climb up and get carried away with pride.Before the bones of the first emperor were cold, they couldn't wait to usurp power and seize the throne in a vain attempt to control the government.It's a pity that people can use it as a cicada to attract praying mantises, and if it loses its effect, there will be a way to steal the family and exterminate the whole family.

In just a few months, the situation in the court has changed dramatically, everyone in the capital is in danger, and the situation has been reversed shockingly.King Taiyuan of Jinyang conspired against him in vain and was sent to prison for interrogation.The Xiao family formed a clique for personal gain and attempted to usurp the throne, and the whole family was executed.The Xiao family disintegrated within a few years after becoming one of the top aristocratic families, causing many jokes.

After dealing with the traitors, Shen Yuyuan declared that the first emperor still had a son, who hid in the cold palace to avoid being persecuted by the Xiao party.Although this son is only ten years old, he is a serious prince and grandson. In addition, Shen Yuyuan has the intention to push him to the throne of God, so no one dares to object.

At this point, the new emperor came to the throne, known as Emperor Huan in history, and his reign name was Hongguang.

.

In the spring of the third year of Hongguang, Jian'an, Kyoto.

A young day's spring bosom is like wine, and a flower arranging and a horse are drunk for a thousand minutes.

The east and west cities of Kyoto are the bustling areas, the west city is close to the Qingxi River, and the Qingxi River connects the Qinhuai River to the Yangtze River, and each has a port.Cargo ships at the port kept berthing and sailing, and even official ships could be seen docking.Conveniently in front of the port is the West Market, with restaurants, restaurants, teahouses and other shops lined up on both sides, and it is very lively.

A small river surrounds the teahouse and restaurant, and on the other side of the river are rows of residential buildings and long alleys.Numerous small boats on the river carry passengers to and fro. The willow trees on the bank are sprouting and the peach blossoms are like brocades.

Lin Ya's flirtatious peach blossom eyes slightly bent, which attracted the pink cheeks of the girl on the shore to blush.He nimbly jumped onto the shore and smiled at the girl, she was so handsome.

He arched his hands and bowed his waist, originally in an exaggerated manner, but because of his appearance, he didn't make people feel frivolous, but instead made the girl on the shore smile coquettishly.When a friend called him and had to say goodbye, the girl put a handkerchief into his hand.

Lin Ya took the handkerchief and turned around, looking happy and carefree, like a prodigal son.He was ridiculed by his friends as soon as he entered the restaurant, but he didn't care. Instead, he was flattered: "That's because this young master has the ability. Good-looking? You are also handsome if you have the ability."

Friends are too lazy to argue with him, anyway, they are just wine and meat friends.He said, "What the hell are you here for?"

Lin Ya picked up the jug and took a big gulp from the spout, and said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you? I admire Taifu Shen and want to see him."

"I can't see it." Just now he was teasing the girl below, but now he turned his face and said that he admired Taifu Shen, but the expression was like saying admiration to a plate of roast chicken on the table. "I can say first, don't cause trouble. If you really cause trouble, don't involve me."

Lin Ya paused, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "How could I cause trouble? Even if I do cause trouble, it will definitely not involve you."

The friend in front of me, even though he is a friend, is actually just acquainted in Hualou a month ago, and he belongs to the group of pig friends and dog friends.Lin Ya was an orphan. Because of his physical defects, he was picked up by his master from the side of the road. He grew up in the mountains.Some time ago, when he turned 19, he stole the elixir that his master had spent three or four years refining successfully and ran out.

At that time, Lin Ya's master, Yao Shanye, was worried that no one would try the medicine, and he didn't know what the medicine would be like.He was 100% sure that the medicine was useful, at least meeting his expectations, but he didn't know if there were other problems.Moreover, the raw materials required for refining this medicine are extremely difficult to find, one is worth thousands of gold, and he only refined ten in total, so it is very precious.

Lin Ya stole three of them as soon as he stole them, and slipped out of the mountains and forests all the way to the capital without his master noticing.I just wanted to find someone to try the medicine, but I couldn't find the right person after much deliberation.He happened to meet this friend in front of him, his surname is Jiang, he was originally the son of a noble family in Kyoto, he has no great skills, and he is quite comfortable living with a little cleverness.

From Mr. Jiang, Lin Ya heard the reputation of Shen Yuyuan, the grand master of the dynasty, and then went to restaurants and teahouses to inquire, and then went to flower houses and flower boats to inquire, and found that no matter whether he was a scholar-bureaucrat or a low-level scholar, Shen Yuyuan was highly respected.But when it comes to this person, there is no lack of regret in the tone of reverence. It turned out that the lower body of this person has been paralyzed for four or five years.

It's a pity that such a person with stunning talent is not good at acting.

Lin Ya became interested and wanted to test the medicine on him.But Shen Yuyuan had a high position and authority, let alone testing medicine, it was difficult to meet him.It just so happened that I learned from Young Master Jiang that Shen Yuyuan went back to the Shen family in Hexi to worship his ancestors two months ago, and he will be back in the next few days.

He pondered, observing Shen Yuyuan from a distance before making a decision.

Staying in the restaurant like this until noon, Mr. Jiang was impatient to accompany him, and when he met a group of friends, they flocked forward to have fun.The crow left alone leaned on the fence and waited and watched. This posture really resembled the "admiration" he said.

At [-]:[-] p.m., there was a sound from the port pier.Shouting and drumming sounded loudly for a long time, and the port trackers lined up to go down the river. Many boats pulled over and even the official boats gave way.Many people on the side were discussing: "Which god is coming? Even the official ship gave way."

Then someone else replied: "See that flying cloud flag? It's the boat of the Shen family."

"You mean—Master Shen?!"

Lin Crow's ears moved, and he looked at the pier at the port. It was a tall and magnificent boat, traveling extremely fast.A black and white two-color flying cloud flag was planted on the ship's side, the sails were lowered, and hundreds of people stood on the board.When the ship docked, the well-trained escort disembarked first, then the servants, and finally the close domestic servants.The sequence is orderly, not noisy, just like everyone's demeanor.

From a distance, Lin Ya saw a person being pushed down in a wheelchair.The distance was a bit far, the crowd was dense, and the man was surrounded by guards and servants, and he got into the sedan chair immediately after getting off the ground, so he couldn't see anything clearly.

All he could see was white hair, but his extraordinary demeanor was hard to ignore.

Mrs. Shen's return to Beijing arrived bustlingly, left in an orderly manner, and disappeared without a sound. It took only half a cup of tea before and after.Once again, people admire the rigor and upbringing of the aristocratic family.

Lin Ya picked out his ears, and curled his lips secretly.

The literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty admired aristocratic families, and the views of family status were particularly serious.Among them, there are four top families in Dazhou, and the Hexi Shen family is one of them.There are many outstanding children in the Shen family, but no one can compare to Shen Yuyuan.Counting 100 years forward and backward, it is very difficult for someone like Shen Yuyuan to appear again.

Mr. Jiang sent a young man to pass the word, saying that he had gone to Chunfeng Pavilion with his friends, and asked him if he would go.

Lin Ya smiled and said, "I won't go. My heart belongs to me, and I don't like flirting with flowers."

Hearing the reply, Mr. Jiang laughed out loud, sighing that he was flirtatious and laughed that he was deceiving himself and trying to deceive others.After laughing, he bought some good things at the bottom of the box from the good friend of Chunfeng Pavilion, and asked the boy to send them over.

When Lin Ya saw these good things at the bottom of the box, he actually read them carefully, and threw them aside without any emotion.On the second day, he went to Yanshi for a stroll, specifically going to Suhui, and after going there for a month, he finally arrived at the old lady who was guarding Shen's residence to buy servants.

Lin Ya recommended himself, with good looks and smart appearance, the woman immediately took a fancy to him.Shen's mansion is in urgent need of manpower recently, and the reason for coming to the house is to see if there are any suitable servants and buy them, and the second is to get a few short-term laborers.These do not need to be too strict, as long as the family background is clean and clean, because the day laborers are only arranged in the outer house, and even if there is a problem, it will not threaten the safety of the owner's family.

Lin Ya hid the drawn deed paper in his bosom, his peach blossom eyes curved like a moon, and talked and teased a few words with the old woman from time to time, making the old woman laugh repeatedly.Afterwards, the mother-in-law eccentrically arranged for him the easy job of looking after horses in the stables.

There are two stables in Shen's residence, one is for the gentlemen's fine horses, and the other is for the ordinary old horses that the servants in the residence usually need to go out and run errands.

The Wood Crow naturally went to the last stable, which was still at the outer gate.The Shen residence separated the outer gate and the inner house is an alleyway, and the servants outside the alleyway are said to have not seen the nobles for more than ten years.He is a servant who only works for a month or two, so it is naturally impossible for him to enter the lane and serve the nobles.
