virtuous king

Getting married in ancient times is really troublesome, from morning to night—crossing the brazier and shooting arrows, when my uncle and nephew Chu Xiao and I were led together like Siamese twins to worship, I was already tired I don't even want to say any more words.

It's a pity that I'm not as lucky as Chu Xiao, she can go back to the house to catch up on sleep after the ceremony, but I still have to deal with the wedding banquet at night.

Dozens of tables of good wine and good food were lined up one by one. The backyard of the palace was crowded with people and brightly lit, and polite conversations kept coming and going.

"Thank you for supporting my king's wedding. My king is happy today. You don't have to talk about the rules, just be casual, sit, drink, drink." When I stood on the stage and said this, my footsteps were weak, and my eyes were two Bubbles and black bags under the eyes are very obvious, and it looks very insincere.

In fact, I felt like I almost wrote "Hurry up and get out of here" on my face. I guess the people who came down to the wedding banquet thought the same way, and all of them shrank their arms and dared not answer.

I didn't dare to answer a word, and I didn't dare to eat. The atmosphere was a bit weird for a while. I felt lonely eating alone, so I had no choice but to hold the bamboo chopsticks and glanced down the stage: "What are you doing in a daze, eat quickly, do you want me to go down and feed you? "

There was a crackling sound of serving bowls and vegetables.

"That's right, everyone, just let go and eat." I smiled with satisfaction, took up the glass and drank it down: "This glass of wine is my respect to you, everyone, go back and have a rest after eating, it is the best of the country. Dongliang, it's not good to be tired in the middle of the night."

As soon as the words were spoken, nearly [-]% got up and said goodbye to me, and the remaining [-]% were sitting upright, [-]% were weak-legged and unable to stand up, and [-]% were self-sustaining and had a good relationship with me.

Of course, there are some anomalies among them, such as Wen Chewen champion.

Wen Che's clothes today are also very interesting. He is obviously attending a wedding banquet, but he is white from head to toe, and at first glance he looks like he is going to a funeral.

My usual impression of Wen Che is to refresh his mind, so I couldn't help but look at him a few more times. When Wen Che noticed that I was looking at him, he stared back with a stiff neck, so staring that I wanted to tease him again.

Thinking about doing it, I put down my chopsticks and yelled at him clearly: "Wen Zhuangyuan, how is the Narcissus girl in your house? I think it's worth 2000 taels of silver, right?"

Wen Che stared round like a deer: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness, it's worth it, it's so worth it."

The rest of the people below began to gasp again, and I found that every time I spoke to Wen Che, they could gasp a few times: "Since it's worth it, why don't you see Wen Zhuangyuan expressing his gratitude to the king?"

"Why didn't you say so?" Wen Che slightly raised the corners of his lips, and smiled ironically: "The nanmu coffin I sent you was tailor-made for His Highness, and it's worth more than 2000 taels."

I sighed worriedly, I was too young to dare to speak rudely in front of so many people.

I can't have an attack, and I can't let it go, so I can only wink at Zhang Yuan who is under the stage, and the latter nodded, shaking his fat body and standing up to smooth things over: "Your Highness, forgive me, Wen Zhuangyuan is just joking, coffin coffin, isn't it true?" Get promoted and get rich?"

"It's reasonable." I smiled, pretending not to see the foolish eyes of Uncle Li next to me: "Wen Zhuangyuan has a heart, come and reward him with ten bolts of brocade."

Brocade is top-grade silk, and only a few pieces can be produced in a year, so few people can afford it except for the royal family or some wealthy merchants.

The most important thing is—three years ago, the dragon robe that Chu Ping brought out from General Qiu’s mansion was made of the same fabric as the real dragon robe. It was brocade. I gave Wen Che ten bolts of brocade to remind him Starting from the evidence of the year to reverse the case, it all depends on whether he can think of this layer.

Since I have allowed Wen Che to investigate the case, I can't let him go away empty-handed.

I want him to "find out" the real culprit, but I can't involve myself in it. After thinking about it, I have no choice but to die as a fellow Taoist and not to die as a poor man. The brocade satin that I sent to sew the dragon robe.

The evidence is the flaw, there is no brocade in General Qiu's mansion.

……

"Did the princess fall asleep?" After drinking and eating, I sent all the guests back to the room, peeping through the screen in a sneaky way: "Did you eat before going to bed?"

"Return to Your Highness, the Princess has already fallen asleep, and I only drank a cup of tea before going to bed." Douzi was very clever, knowing that he followed me to call Princess Chu Xiao, and did not call her Princess: "The tea that the servant gave to the Princess is the best. , this sleep, the Princess can sleep till the sun rises."

I admired: "Beautiful, you look at her here, my lord..."

Douzi blinked: "Your Highness, Mr. Liu is in the study."

I "...heh." It turned out that there was a servant who was too "understanding" and was also very distressed.

I finally went to the study. When I opened the door and entered, Liu Yanqing had already fallen asleep on the table. When I got closer, I saw the dim candlelight reflected on half of his delicate face, which was very provocative.

"Yanqing, wake up, go to bed and sleep." I pushed him, but he didn't wake up, so I reached out my hand to cover his mouth and nose maliciously, Liu Yanqing couldn't breathe, he opened his eyes and looked up at me in a daze, During this period, the clear and shallow breath sprayed on the palm of my hand, making my heart itch when I scratched it.

"Your Highness." Liu Yanqing woke up completely in a short while, recognized me, and hurriedly put an old book spread out on the table into his arms.

The title of the book is "Miscellaneous Talks of Essence and Ghosts", and on the opened page, it says "Borrowing corpses back to life".

"I heard that His Highness sent Wen Zhuangyuan ten bolts of brocade today."

"Well, there is such a thing, and your news is quite fast."

Liu Yanqing didn't look at me: "Master Zhang's brocade is also a gift from His Royal Highness, if Wen Zhuangyuan really grabs this thread to investigate, His Highness will be implicated."

"The things you send out have nothing to do with me. Zhang Yuan is a smart man who knows what to say and what not to say." I bent my eyes and said, "Besides, the only one who can keep him alive is this king. I will bite the king into it—at the most, I will be charged with ineffective handling of the case and be fined a few years of salary."

"Yanqing, if I remember correctly, you are also a Juren."

Liu Yanqing looked up at me abruptly: "Yes."

"Do you want to take the imperial examination this year?"

"Why bother to join in the fun? If I take part in the imperial examination in my current capacity, I will be blamed if I fail."

"You just say you want to or don't want to."

"……In no mood."

"..."

"That's all." I stopped trolling myself, and even turned away in a bit of embarrassment: "I want to bother you with you tonight, Yanqing won't mind?"

Liu Yanqing raised an eyebrow: "Of course not. Your Highness will sleep on the bed, or will your Highness sleep on the bed?"

Tsk tsk, this Liu with the surname is really getting more and more presumptuous, I feel aggrieved, I trembled my eyebrows and made a fierce look, but I didn't know that the words came out: "...Naturally, you sleep on the bed and the king sleeps on the ground. "

Liu Yanqing nodded: "Very good."

I suddenly wanted to go back to my room and squeeze with Chu Xiao who was sleeping like a dead pig.

The floor in Liu Yanqing's room was cold and hard. I wrapped myself tightly in a quilt and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well. I didn't feel sleepy until dawn, but I was awakened by Douzi's rhythmic knocking on the door as soon as the sweet dream started.

"Your Highness, get up quickly, Mr. Li Buzhang pays his respects."

Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang... Zhang Yuan, I suddenly sat up and twisted my waist inadvertently.

"Your Highness, this is..." Douzi was stunned for a moment when he saw me coming out with my back supported, then I poked my head to look in the door, but I straightened my back and blocked it back: "I'll bring some safflower oil to my king later."

Douzi looked at me a little strangely, nodded and bowed for a while and said: "Yes, yes, don't worry, Your Highness, the slave will come to deliver it in a while."

"...Okay, send it quickly." I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, so I had to give up.

After washing, he walked around to the front hall and peeked at the door for a while, and saw that Zhang Yuan was holding a teacup and sighing, his round body was forced into a small wooden chair, his fat was even strangled into several pieces by the armrest of the chair, it was very funny .

I am actually very afraid that Zhang Yuan will die suddenly from diseases such as hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia one day.

"Master Zhang made up his mind not to let me sleep peacefully." Having seen enough, I opened the door and entered the room with emotion: "It's just dawn, what is it worth for Master Zhang to come to my king early in the morning?" here?"

Just now when I entered the room, Zhang Yuan put away his troubled expression, and now he heard me ask and apologize: "Your Highness, forgive me, I really have something important to do today."

I nodded to signal him to continue, and I had already vaguely guessed seven or eight points in my heart.

"Your Highness got married last night, I'm afraid I drank too much wine for a while, and I don't remember some things—for example... For example, the matter of appreciating Wen Che's brocade weaving." Zhang Yuan was not sure what I was thinking, and said while choosing his words carefully. While sweating coldly: "Your Highness thinks you forgot, what happened three years ago... Your Highness, Your Highness also rewarded you with the brocade, and Wen Che is a smart man. It’s okay to go to prison, but it’s not so good to implicate His Highness.”

"Broken this king?" Zhang Yuan's words were hesitant but very beautiful. He was clearly worried about his own safety, but he wanted to look out for me. Halfway through, I couldn't help but sneer and said: "As long as you plead guilty, How could this king be implicated? Could it be that Mr. Zhang wants to say——this king ordered you to do that thing three years ago?"

Zhang Yuan knelt down with a thud: "I don't dare, I am sincerely devoted to Your Highness!"

"My lord Zhang is wrong. You are a courtier, and a courtier should be sincere to the emperor." I looked at Zhang Yuan for a while with the corner of my mouth curled up in a half-smile, until he knelt down in front of me in fright and then kowtowed repeatedly: "Master Zhang, get up, I will remember everything you have done for me, and I will never treat you badly."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"If Wen Che really asks in two days, you can just confess your guilt, and I will take care of it so that you won't suffer." After a pause, I lowered my voice and said, "Master Zhang has made a lot of money these years, right? From my lord's point of view, your talent for being an official is far lower than your talent for doing business."

Zhang Yuan frowned and meditated for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, he took two steps back and saluted me, his brows were curved and he said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your reminder, I will take my leave."

He is really on the way, he is a real talent, it's worth my trouble to protect him: "You're welcome, I like you for being so smart."
