Your Majesty, please do not

He froze for a moment, he didn't dare to take the tea, and he didn't know how to reply.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Liang Huan stuffed the teacup into his hand, and he couldn't accept it.Chen Zhi had no choice but to take it, and since he took it, he had no choice but to drink it.

I can't drink what kind of tea it is, I just feel it is bitter and astringent, the tea in Weiyang Palace all tastes like this.

He has apologized, and there is nothing more to say about him.It's just that I don't know if the so-called apology is sincere regret, or just to please the sad self.

Liang Huan put the teacup he drank back on the table, refused to look up for a long while, and only said: "I will tell you in advance."

"I said, you are not allowed..." His voice was full of grievances.

Liang Huan recalled the situation just now, only to realize that he had indeed said it.But I just thought it was his reservedness, and refused when he wanted to greet, and didn't think it was really rejected at all.If you really don't want to, how can you just say it once and let it go?

Come to think of it, that's what he is.It would be disrespectful to mention it again after being rejected once by yourself.

He reached out and touched Chen Zhi's cheek, "I... didn't hurt you, did I?"

"Fortunately."

"Next time I make you angry, you must tell me. You should take it as admonishment, not to blame me, but to make me better, so you won't feel uneasy."

"understood."

Seeing the unsalty appearance of the statement, Liang Huan felt that his anger had not passed, so he lowered his head and pretended to be wronged, "It's all my fault, I only think about myself, I'm a bastard... no wonder You want to hide from me, people like me are not worthy of you..."

When he said this, Chen Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, and said softly: "Don't say that, I know you are good to me."

Hearing this, Liang Huan suddenly laughed out, playfully: "If you are still angry, or...you can treat me as I treat you."

Statement Zhi twitched his lips, "...I'm not angry."

On New Year's Eve, Liang Huan has been busy since early morning, attending various ceremonies and ceremonies.In the afternoon, Chen Zhizhi walked into the Weiyang Palace with Lu Yin.

Lu Yin presented a gift list, which was a reward for the courtiers and concubines during the New Year, and Liang Huan had to review it one day in advance.

Liang Huan took it to look at it briefly, and said casually: "Go and add some more to Prime Minister Ouyang."

The statement sitting on the side asked: "Why are you paying him so much?"

"Isn't it because he's against what we're going to do in the next year? Give him more gifts to please him."

The joke wasn't funny at all, but the statement laughed anyway.

After Lu Yin left, Chen Zhi leaned over and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the reward for me?"

Only now did Liang Huan realize that nothing was prepared for him, but he still insisted: "The reward for the Six Departments has already been distributed, didn't Deng Zhi give it to you?"

Chen Zhi didn't accept his fooling: "I get six rewards for doing things during the day and serving you at night, won't you reward me?"

Liang Huan thought for a while, and said without shame: "Then you didn't give me anything either?"

Hearing this, the statement took out a notebook from his pocket, put it in his hand, and said with some trepidation: "This is what I gave you."

It was just an ordinary notebook with no writing on the cover.Liang Huan flipped through it casually, and when he saw the familiar handwriting inside, he suddenly became a little excited, thinking that it was a love letter written by him.

However, after reading two pages, he frowned, "What are you writing?"

Seeing his expression, the statement had a bad premonition, but still bit the bullet and said: "I read some books, picked out several tax cuts in the past, and wrote down the reasons, methods, gains and losses. Some are What I collected in the book is also my own thought. If Prime Minister Ouyang wants to object to what we are doing, you can pick some words from here to refute him..."

Liang Huan's expression became very embarrassing, but what's the matter? It's all in his heart. It doesn't seem good to just say that he doesn't like it at all?

"Don't you like it?"

It's been a long time since Chen Zhi gave him anything, so he was extremely nervous, racking his brains to figure out what he needed.Later, I thought that he was having a headache, so I should help him a little bit to make him happy, right?

But why is his reaction so strange?

Liang Huan was also very disappointed. Who can do this kind of thing, do you still need him to send it?

He forced a smile and said, "I like it, thank you."

Statement also seemed to understand why he didn't like it.

At this time, Wu Jing's maid came and asked Liang Huan to attend the banquet in the harem.Before leaving, Chen Zhizhi suddenly saw an open book on the table, and walked away.

Liang Huan asked a few concubines to talk alone at the New Year's Eve banquet in the harem, cared about their lives, and asked Wu Jing to take good care of them, and finally reminded them not to forget to tell their families more about the good of the palace.

He also knew that many people stuffed their daughters and sisters into his harem just to let them have children and to consolidate their status. In the future, they might engage in foreign relatives to interfere in politics or something.Since he was destined to disappoint them, he could only...coax them first.

In the end, he still couldn't stand some concubines posing in front of him, so he gave everyone extra rewards, and went back to Weiyang Palace to sleep by himself.

When Chen Zhi returned home, he took out a New Year gift for his father as soon as he entered the door: a pair of Cheng Wei's calligraphy.

Cheng Wei is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is also very talented. He is a master of poetry, calligraphy and painting.Moreover, his works are given to friends for collection and never sold, so it is difficult for outsiders to obtain them.

Although Chen Zhi didn't have a very close relationship with him, he was still his student anyway, so it was not difficult to invite him to a meal and ask for a calligraphy.

Chen Suihan praised his gift greatly, and praised him for his filial piety and promise.He thought that this gift would bring him a happy time with his family tonight, but he didn't expect Chen Suihan to change his face so quickly.

Since Chen Suihan obtained the status of a scholar, he no longer does physical work, but finds a school to educate children and earn some income.And Chen Zhi didn't need money on weekdays, and almost all of the salary was given to the family, so the life of the three members of the Chen family was quite affluent.

His stepmother, Lin Shuqiao, was pregnant and chatted with him about the harem.Chen Zhi pretended to ask unintentionally: "Are there many concubines in the harem who admire the emperor but are not favored?"

"That's right!" She said mysteriously, "It's not convenient to say who it is, but there are many people like you. Our emperor is pure-hearted, and he can't go to the harem a few times a year." ..."

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter when I made the statement, sober?He also took up the word "desire".

Then, Chen Zhi talked about Su Yintang and dealing with Ouyang Qing.Unexpectedly, when Chen Suihan heard this, he became anxious: "You can't be an official well, what kind of party struggle are you engaged in? After studying for so many years, you don't know how to govern the country, but only know how to fight for fame and fortune. It's really an insult to a sage!"

Chen Zhi patiently explained to him: "Party struggle is not for the sake of fame and fortune, but for the purpose of governing the country and benefiting the people. The policies of the Ouyang Party cannot bring benefits to the people, but enrich their own pockets. So we must To overthrow him is to benefit the common people in the world."

"Do you still dare to talk back?" Chen Suihan snorted, "With just a few of you children, you actually want to deal with a prime minister? If you fold yourself into it, what will your father do?"

"Isn't there still Xian'er, and you can have another one..."

"Then what will happen to the reputation of my ancestors of the Chen family if you are charged with the crimes of the Zhulian clan?!"

Chen Zhi said helplessly: "You can't think of me better, so maybe I will overthrow the evil prime minister and become famous from now on?"

"You have that ability? How did I raise you, an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unrighteous bastard..."

Chen Zhi sighed, "Father, I came back to see you specially, do you have to quarrel with me?"

Chen Suihan stood up and turned his back to him, and said coldly: "No one begged you to come back, where should you go, my Chen family can't afford to lose this person!"

These words hit the heart of the statement, he may have hesitated countless times, but never once, and it is absolutely impossible to feel ashamed.

Since he feels ashamed and doesn't want to see him, then just disappear if he doesn't see him.Anyway, I gave him the money and fulfilled my obligations, so I have a clear conscience.

He also put down his chopsticks and stood up, saying flatly, "Then I'm leaving."

After speaking, he gave Chen Xian a few more instructions, then turned and walked out of the house.

Seeing him go out, Lin Shuqiao went over to pat Chen Suihan on the back, and persuaded: "Why bother to get angry with him, he will only stay at home for one night."

"He ran away with someone else," Chen Suihan sighed, "That's the water that was thrown out. There's no reason to spend New Year's Eve at home."

Leaving home, Statement Zhi walked aimlessly on the road.He didn't think about where to go now, it would be too late if he returned to Weiyang Palace, he probably had already fallen asleep, and he didn't want to disturb him.

It is estimated that everyone will have a rest when he goes to someone's house, so in the end he decided to make do with the night at the Yongzhou Guild Hall, which is open all day.

It was Zishi, and he was alone in the tea room of the Yongzhou Guild Hall. He ordered a pot of black tea and took out the notebook in his arms.

Shou Sui tonight, don't sleep.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the weather was cold as usual.It was a vacation day, but Liang Huan still followed his usual habit of getting up at three o'clock, and he didn't know what to do when he got up.

As soon as he asked for breakfast, the door of Weiyang Palace was pushed open, and Chen Zhi walked in with a tired face.

Seeing that Liang Huan had already woken up, he went over and knelt beside him. Although he could hardly keep his eyes open, he still managed to smile, and said, "I wish Your Majesty a New Year greeting."

Liang Huan patted his head and teased, "Do I have to give you the lucky money?"

"I'm older than you, so I'll give it to you..."

"You eat my food and live in mine every day, how dare you give me money?" Liang Huan said, seeing the two notebooks in his hand, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Chen Zhi quickly handed him the notebook and said, "This is a congratulatory gift for you."

"Didn't you deliver it yesterday?"

"Yesterday, I presented it to His Majesty as a subject. Today is...you can see for yourself."

Liang Huan put the notebook on the table, glanced at the statement kneeling on the ground, "Get up. How did you make yourself like that, as if you haven't slept all night."

Chen Zhi stood up and went to bed, "I was kicked out of the house by my father last night, so I really didn't sleep all night."

"Get out of the house?" Liang Huan looked at him in surprise, but he closed his eyes as soon as he lay down.

So stuck?He had to go over and help him cover the quilt.

Sitting back at the table again, Liang Huan picked up the two notebooks.He recognized the first book as his own, a miscellaneous poem that he flipped through at leisure, threw it on the table, and went to him somehow.

He put this book aside, and the second book was full of statements.

The author has something to say: State it: Your Majesty, where is the reward for me?

Liang Huan: Open your mouth.
