Dressed as Tang Bohu

Walking around the low wall with glazed walls shining in the sun, after walking straight for dozens of steps, you can see a small building with four corners and cornices, named Servant Yuexuan.The eunuch leading the way stopped here and let Tang Ziwei enter alone.

Tang Ziwei saluted him and walked towards Shiyuexuan.Before reaching the door, the door of the small building suddenly opened, Zhu Houzhao came out from inside, and said with a timid smile to Tang Zi: "Tang Yin, do you still remember me?"

"Since leaving Fengle Tower, the prince has become more and more handsome." Tang Ziwei said.

"As expected, you still remember!" Zhu Houzhao leaned over with a smile, and said in a low voice, "For the sake of our acquaintance, I saved you a hard time today. How can you thank me?"

Tang Ziwei raised his eyebrows and asked, "How can the crown prince want me to thank you?"

"Well... this palace is really boring, last time I was arrested because of you, why don't you take me out of the palace?" Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits.

"The prince is joking?" Tang Ziwei shook his head, "If I really do that, Your Majesty will kill my head!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill your head if you reject me?"

"Then will you kill?"

Zhu Houzhao stared at him with staring eyes, and puffed his mouth after a while, "I won't kill you. You are different from those masters who are full of poetry and etiquette, and those servants. At least you can talk to me."

"I'm going out of the palace anyway, but if it's just for talking, I know that there is something suitable for the prince." Tang Ziwei rubbed his chin and asked, "Does the prince know about crows?"

"What is that?"

"It's a pitch-black bird with a short gray beak. It's extremely intelligent. It can have the intelligence of a six-year-old child when it grows up. If the prince has the time to teach it, they can even learn to talk to you."

"There are such strange beasts in the world?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, obviously interested.

Tang Ziwei smiled and said, "As far as I know, Master Yang, the censor of Zuodu, has one at home."

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and laughed too.

Not far away, Zhu Youtang turned around and walked out of the courtyard slowly.He knows a lot about the affairs in the palace, especially about how noisy his son can be.It's just that Zhu Houzhao was the only son he had with Empress Zhang for many years, so he couldn't help doting on him a little more.

The eunuch on one side supported Zhu Youtang as he walked slowly. Mou Bin appeared beside him at some point, and whispered as he followed, "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading in Beijing, and what they say is all about the two Juren. The false slander of the fraud case. The minister suspected that there was something strange in it, so he sent someone to investigate."

"Who did it?" Zhu Youtang asked.

"Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Weijian." Mou Bin paused, took a peek at Zhu Youtang, and continued: "Besides, I put together a few things that happened recently, and found some subtle things in it. connect."

Zhu Youtang nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"Zhao Shilang won the imperial examination nine years ago. The chief examiner of Chunwei at that time was Yang Yushi, who was the right servant of the Ministry of officials at that time. After that, Yang Yushi took care of Zhao Shilang several times, obviously accepting him as a student. And Yang Yushi He had unresolved personal grievances with Juren Tang Yin three years ago because of this incident, which is one of the doubts.

The other is Cheng Minzheng, who once had old grievances with the imperial censor Wang Gao because of the incident of verbal slander. Now that Wang Gao has resigned from office, he is still inextricably linked with the court.The eldest son of Yang Yushi's family also visited with gifts a month ago. "

Zhu Youtang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Since I came to the throne, I thought it was only a blink of an eye, but in fact it has been twelve years."

"Yes, since His Majesty ascended the throne, the country has become increasingly prosperous and prosperous. These are all thanks to His Majesty's daily diligence in administration." Mou Bin lowered his head and said.

Zhu Youtang's eyes were deep, and he said: "In the past 12 years, my Ming Dynasty has been developing continuously, and certain forces attached to it have also taken root and sprouted unconsciously. Mou Bin, Yang Yushi has more than thirty students. right?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are nearly a hundred people. Among them, 34 are Jinshi, and those who are above the sixth rank..."

"Enough." Zhu Youtang interrupted him and said, "Yang Yushi is cautious in his words and deeds, and diligent. But now that he is old, the position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate must be a bit reluctant for him. This imperial court , It's time for young people to show their talents. Tell him what I said, and tell him that Yuan Jian is a good kid, so don't delay him."

"Yes!" Mu Bin took a deep breath, stopped in his tracks and watched Zhu Youtang walk away, then turned around abruptly and strode towards the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

……

When Tang Ziwei left the palace, Xu Tai even came to see him off in the name of patrol.The two made an appointment to go to Fengle Building for a drink together, but they said goodbye again and again, and the hands they held were loosened.

Tang Ziwei turned around and didn't open the note in his hand until he walked out of the palace gate to the bustling street.

The information on the note was very brief, it just told him that the emperor planned to replace Yang Renzhe, and that he had plans to let Yang Yuan enter the court concurrently.

Tang Ziwei understood what was going on after a little thought.The Yang family was well-received in the capital and in the court, and the Holy Majesty was unwilling to give up talents, but he was concerned about Lao Yang's gradually developing power in the court, so he replaced Xiao Yang.

This not only cut off the direct connection between Yang Renche and his disciples, but also expressed the remaining goodwill through Yang Yuanjian.If the Yang family is really as loyal and kind as they have shown, they will not have any resistance to the court because of this.

Tang Ziwei blinked, tore up the note until it couldn't see its original appearance, and scattered it into the dirt on the side of the road.Although this was not as perfect as he had imagined, it was still a temporary respite.

He got into a carriage, walked through the streets, and returned to the inn.

Tang Ziwei went up to the second floor, glanced sideways at Lin and Zhang's room, then walked straight through the corridor to his own room.

Before entering the door, they heard the sound of crying and crying from inside.Tang Ziwei paused slightly, and raised his hand slowly.

I only heard Yetang's cautious words mixed with sobs in the room: "...My lord, does it hurt?"

"Hiss, softer, softer." Xu Jing's voice paused, and he said again: "Compared to this, I am more worried about Brother Tang. The verdict has been handed down, but he quietly disappeared into the deep palace, There is no telling."

"You're really useless." Ji Tong's voice was cold.

Xu Jing sighed, and before he could speak, he heard Ye Tang say:

"You can't blame Mr. Xu. It's just... maybe I shouldn't say this now, but Yetang has admired you for a long time, since the day you gave me the necklace, no, since the first time I saw you in the rain , Ye Tang began to think about Young Master. Seeing Young Master hurt now, his heart aches like twists and turns, and it is hard to suppress it anymore. I wonder if Young Master is willing to accept Ye Tang..."

"But aren't you Brother Tang's maid?"

Xu Jing's tone was a little weird, but the nervous Yetang didn't pay attention at all, only thinking that he was concerned about affecting the friendship with Tang Ziwei, and hurriedly said: "Young master, young master, he will not blame us. I have been here since I was a child. The Tang family grew up, and the young master has never scolded me or touched me. If Mr. Xu and I go to talk together, the young master will not stop him!"

When Ye Tang said this at this moment, his heart felt sour.She grew up in Tang's family, and when she was still young, she often watched the young master shaking her head and reciting poems, and looked at the picture scrolls that the young master drew for her.With pink face and vermilion lips, bright eyes and white teeth, the young master painted her so beautifully, it's not that she didn't have some fantasies in her heart.

But she waited year after year, and the young master got married and lost his wife.She had thought that there would be hope, but in the past few years, the young master has become more and more indifferent to her, and she has gradually given up thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Yetang's eyes became firm, she looked at Xu Jing, hoping to get a better destination.

However, Xu Jing's appearance at this time was different from what she had imagined.

Outside the door, Heisha silently appeared behind Tang Ziwei, "Why don't you go in?" After saying that, he raised his hand and pushed open the door.

At the same time as the open door fell, it was Xu Jing's light words: "He doesn't want you, so what's your value?"

Tang Ziwei stood erect by the door, looking at the scene in the room.

Ji Tong just stood up from the chair, and turned his head quickly when he heard the sound; Ye Tang was holding the small porcelain bottle containing the medicine, and the astonishment on his face had not faded; Xu Jing was lying on the bed, with an expression on his face An indifference he had never seen before.

That expression melted the moment he saw Tang Ziwei, but Xu Jing's words did not end.

He pursed his lips, brushed Yetang's hair with his hand as he did before, and said, "I do like you very much, but only to you who is brother Tang's maid. Now it seems that you are no more So mediocre that people can't even arouse the slightest interest."

He let go of the hair in his hands, looked up at Tang Ziwei, and said with a shy smile, "Brother Tang is safe, that's great."

Afraid of silence, Tang Zi avoided his gaze, elbowed Heisha who was watching the scene, and stepped into the room.

He raised his arms, and Ji Tong flew over immediately, his short body trembling slightly in his arms.

Tang Ziwei patted him on the back reassuringly, and saw Ji Tong raised his face, his straight bun face was full of anger, "One or two of these people are too unruly!"

"I'll take care of it." Tang Ziwei said, looking at Yetang standing beside the bed.

Yetang's eyes were red, and she looked at Tang Ziwei with a complicated expression, her delicate and lovely face could not even control the expression, and her tears were hanging on the side of her cheeks.

Tang Ziwei let go of Jitong, and walked up to Yetang expressionlessly.He raised his palm, and Yetang closed his eyes in fright, but only felt a touch of warmth covering the side of his face.

Tang Ziwei wiped away the tears on her face with his fingertips, supported Ye Tang's face with his slender fingers, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

Yetang was slightly stunned, and for some reason subconsciously turned her eyes to Xu Jing who was lying on the bed.The latter didn't seem to have any feelings about this scene, but he just looked at Tang Ziwei with a slightly hotter gaze.

Tang Ziwei also felt it, but was completely unmoved.Yetang's face was reflected in his lowered eyes, Tang Ziwei sighed and said, "Since you don't want to continue following me, go back to Wuzhong and let Tang Shen find a good man to marry you."

Hearing his words, Yetang suddenly panicked: "No, young master, I don't want to go back, I don't want to marry yet, young master, I... hiss..." The rest of the words were stuck back by Tang Ziwei's suddenly tightened fingers .

"I'm not asking for your opinion. Since you have made a choice, you should be prepared to bear the consequences." Tang Ziwei let go of her, his eyes shifted, "I have never been a good person who doesn't care about these things."
