Zhuoying

At the same time, Hou Ke in Kyoto was sitting at the annual meeting.From him up, he is now the young emperor of Da Lan.The pendant bead was so bright that it was difficult to see clearly when it was shaking, the emperor was listening to the report of Huiyang Hou Xiao Jin about the official affairs of the Jingwei Division this year.

Ji Baiyue, the Jingzhen general next to him, filled the wine for him, and the two touched lightly. He heard Ji Baiyue whisper: "I heard the wind when I returned to Beijing."

Hou Ke remained calm, "Your Majesty just mentioned it."

The scar on Ji Baiyue's brow bone moved, and he said, "That's interesting."

"What do you mean?" Hou Ke sipped his wine, smiled, and said, "How much manpower and material resources do you think it will take to dig a canal and run through the north and south. Jingzhen has only improved in recent years. Where will the money come from for such a large project? "

"Since the north and the south are connected, the business of Dayuan also benefits. Ao Yun has to add a share here, besides." Ji Baiyue glanced at Zhong He sitting behind Hou Ke, and said: "There is also a Zhong family in Jiangtang. .”

"General Ji Bai." Hou Ke spread his hands lightly, "Even if you let Yan Jueshu come back to life, he would definitely not dare to accept this business, let alone the Zhong family now? Even if you empty it out, you won't be able to increase the consumption of the canal." .”

"What does Lord Hou mean?"

"Don't." Hou Ke's expression was dull, "I have no control over this matter. Your Majesty has gradually gained momentum in the past few years, and it seems that he is going to do a great job in ZTE."

But can the word "ZTE" be done simply?Don't you see that since the reign of Chongtai, the Supreme Emperor Xin Yi has tried his best to turn the tide of decline, the Jiangtang has been stabilized, and the business in Jingzhou has flourished. It seems that the country is prosperous.But only the group of people who followed them knew that there was still something empty inside.Revival has never been achieved overnight. The road is only flat. If you want to run before it is compacted, you are afraid that you will fall miserably.

"It's all about seeing His Majesty up to now." Ji Baiyue rarely comforted others, he said: "There are still Emperor Taishang and King Ding, there is nothing to mess with."

But Hou Ke broke his smile completely, and he said: "Don't mention this again. Your Majesty is so anxious about the canal, it is hard to guarantee that there is no such thing as trouble. Ji Baiyue, now it is His Majesty's Dalan, not the Supreme Emperor and King Ping His Majesty is no longer a child. He is thinking of the past, and calling us old things a teacher is a filial piety to the Supreme Emperor. But since the moment the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he is no longer a student that you and I can control .”

Since the Supreme Emperor and King Ding taught him as his own son, and since these people remember the big and small Hades back then, why can't they see that this one has obtained the true biography and can't be provoked?It's okay to mention this when I was a child, but now, it's provoking the relationship between father and son above.No emperor is willing to bend under the name of his predecessors, let alone an ambitious emperor.

Ji Baiyue remembered something, and the temperature in his eyes gradually dissipated, he said, "Who started the canal?"

This time Hou Ke was silent instead.

Ji Baiyue sighed: "Don't be on guard. I didn't ask that question, it was that person." He drew four words on the table.

Clear flow as promised.

"Bad guy." Hou Ke drank it all in one gulp, and said in a comfortable voice, "Zhong Baiou."

"This name is familiar." Ji Baiyue thought for a while, "The 'leisure cloud white gull'?"

"What idle talk, it's hard to be famous." Hou Ke said: "Bai Ou went to and from the Imperial Academy before, and Mr. Zuo asked a question about 'prospering the people'. This kid is used to doing things recklessly, and he got a general theory of North and South right on the spot. There are many people talking. Miscellaneous, it has been exaggerated in His Majesty's ears, but it just happened to suit His Majesty's wishes, so this happened."

Ji Baiyue said: "Both students and brothers. This Zhong Baiou, and your Zhong Yuanwen, have different behaviors."

"The direction is different, the way is different. Yuan Wen's heart is like this, Bai Guu..." Hou Ke sighed, and then smiled: "It's no wonder he can agree with His Majesty's wishes."

Zhong He looked up to this, aiming to be upright and clean.Zhong You, however, drew his own exhibition picture, hoping to create a new one.Isn't this the same idea as His Majesty?

"I don't see him." Ji Baiyue scanned the table, "Haven't he arrived yet?"

"Ah." Hou Ke said, "Going back to the wild." Seeing Ji Baiyue stared blankly, he stroked his beard.

Ji Baiyue reacted in a few moments, and actually laughed out loud.He poured the wine and laughed again: "It's amazing."

"Without the white gull, there is still Yuan Wen, and after Yuan Wen, there is still Ru Chen." Hou Ke smacked his lips, regretting, "I have brought all my students with me in this life."

"Who is Ruchen? I really haven't heard of it."

"You know his grandfather well."

"Who?"

Hou Ke looked at the other side, and Ji Baiyue also looked over.The wealthy family gathered together, and Zhong Ziming was sitting behind Mr. Lao He.Ji Baiyue scoffed, "It's actually his boy."

"Don't like it?" Hou Ke said slowly, "In my opinion, this is the big deal."

"Oh?" Ji Baiyue laughed back, "Can you say 'remarkable'?"

"Do you know who he wants to learn?" Hou Ke said with a smile, "You know him too."

Ji Baiyue thought for a while, "Could it be the same?"

"It's off." Hou Ke also scratched a few words on the table, and the sharp three words were none other than Xie Jingsheng.Seeing Ji Baiyue's half-smiling expression, he didn't explain and just laughed it off.

The words are true.

"Under Zhongxie!" The person sitting by the pillar repeated: "The character is like Chen, and the family name is also from the capital. When I come to Qingping, I want to be a dragon." After saying this, I laughed loudly, and said: "Wrong, It’s a snake that wants to be local.”

Shaozhen kicked him on the back and said, "You are blocking the door."

Zhong Xie sighed, the smell of alcohol dissipated.He put his face against the pillar and said, "Let me sit down again."

"It's midnight." Shaozhen squatted beside him, "Didn't you go to see your old friend?"

Zhong Xie turned his head suddenly, his eyes were clear.He stared at Shaozhen, the two were so close that Shaozhen could smell his alcohol.He said: "I'm going to say goodbye." He smiled to himself, mixed with sadness and self-mockery, and said, "I've been alone since then."

Shaozhen turned his head first, and said, "You still have a home when you go back to Kyoto."

"I won't go back." Zhong Xie fell back suddenly, fell to the ground, and looked at Leng Ye Xinghe with his arms spread, he said: "Going back is a dragon entering the shallows, and I will be firmly tied to the post, and everything I say and do depends on others " He scratched his fingers in the air, "They only want a grandson of the Zhong family, no matter who I am, as long as I rely on my family status, who in the world will recognize me?" He laughed again, "Who recognizes Zhong Ruchen?"

After saying this, he covered his eyes and remained silent.

Shaozhen waited for a while, then turned around, "Is he dead?"

Zhong Xie twitched the corners of his lips, "I can't die."

Shaozhen got up, "Then get out." He said condescendingly, "I'm going to close the door." Zhong Xie looked at him with a little eyes, but this kid was cold-hearted, and he said coldly: "Take money for jade pendants before you get out." .”

"Everyone wants a jade pendant, you don't care about it."

Shaozhen looked at him with pitiful eyes.

"Zhong Ruchen." Shaozhen said, "Do you really think this is a disappointment?"

Zhong Xie slowly frowned.

Shaozhen smiled a little, but it was more embarrassing than Zhong Xie's self-mockery.He said: "It's better to beat yourself to death with a stick to do this kind of crazy thing with wine. You don't have to worry about anything, and you don't bother others. Last time I thought you were a bit stubborn, but now I look at it and I'm very blind. His eyes slipped from Zhong Xie's skirt to his boots, and he said: "You don't have to worry about food and clothing, your future is safe, and you have all kinds of leisure, but you still want others to say sorry, then you are really pitiful."

Under these gazes, Zhong Xie couldn't make any rebuttal.

Shaozhen said: "The world doesn't know Zhong Ruchen, no wonder others. You come here and say you want to make a name for yourself. Anyone who begs for food knows that he should be grateful for his food. You took the kindness of your family and the favor of your friends, but you still begged for it. Others only remember you alone, why?" He laughed a few times: "Master Zhong, pack up and go home. You want to be a local snake here, I don't think it's as good as a bird at home." Before closing the door, he poked his head again: "Fortunately, I It's not your parents, otherwise I would have beaten you long ago."

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang, and Zhong Xie heard the door bolt being knocked down, and the boy went upstairs to sleep.

Zhong Xie got up abruptly and stared at the door for a while.He wanted to shout a few times, but his throat seemed to be stuck again.He couldn't make any sound when he opened his mouth, he could only smash the fist panel, his forehead was on top, his chest heaved, he couldn't tell whether it was anger or embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the upper window was also opened, the little devil came out, and said coldly: "You are an official after all, if you disturb people's sleep again, I will beat you in the face."

Zhong Xie looked up at Shaozhen, and suddenly said, "Give me your name."

Shaozhen leaned against the window, "Will you punish me in the future?"

Zhong Xie froze, with real annoyance on his face, he said: "If you want to punish the crime, you have to wait until now?"

Shaozhen snorted, ignored him, closed the window directly, and went to sleep on the upper bunk.Zhong Xie yelled a few times from below, but he ignored them all, listening to Zhong Xie grit his teeth and say something.

"Thanks for your insights, thank you! See you in the future, it won't be like this."

Shaozhen was blindfolded, thinking that it's none of my business.

Zhong Xie patted the ashes on his shoulders, turned around and left.He remembered this kid clearly, even if he didn't know the name, he had to keep it in his heart, and he would chew it out every day in the future, so as to teach himself to have a good memory and look good.But after he walked a few steps, he couldn't help but look back.

The window was closed tightly, showing no face.

The next day Rong Yang went out and walked across the street to the shop.He walked halfway, when suddenly a person blocked the way, but it wasn't to extort money.

"Young Master Rong?"

Rong Yang tightened his collar, hurriedly took a step back, waved his hands and said: "I dare not be that." He vaguely saw that the man was well-dressed, and he didn't look like a bad guy at a glance.

Zhong Xie asked all the way, and finally he got someone.He was not intrusive at all, he just expressed himself politely and thoughtfully, and then asked: "Last time I got help from someone, but I have never been well-known. I am ashamed to say that I can't make it in time today, so I come to Mr. Rong to ask. This person is called What?"

Rong Yang remembered the origin of the jade pendant and knew that he was an official, so he relaxed a little and said, "Shaozhen." Afraid that he still remembered that Shaozhen was a thief, he said, "Shaozhen is very introspective now, and he can read books well. very good."

"Shaozhen." Zhong Xie got the name, and went through it several times in his heart, "I don't remember anything from the past. Thank you, Mr. Rong, I'm on my way, and I'll take my leave first."

Rong Yang didn't even see what he looked like when he left, and when he arrived at the store, Shaozhen was standing in the counter to handle the bills.Rong Yang whispered: "I was on the road just now, and I met that, that—" He couldn't remember the name for a while.

Shaozhen only learned the abacus at this moment, and when she dialed it, she nodded and said, "Zhong Ruchen."

Rong Yang was surprised, he was worried that he would be remembered, but he felt relieved after hearing this, and said happily: "You guys are so familiar."

The crisp sound of the beads snapped, and Shaozhen's mind was messed up.He frowned, and said: "I'm not familiar with him." Rong Yang had already gone to the back hall, Shaozhen somehow chased after him, "Who knows him well!"
