Sheng Shian

It was the end of the new year, and there were many events, so the lights in the Zichen Hall were kept on for two nights.

Emperor Chengming rubbed his temples wearily, and Eunuch Lu immediately rubbed it for him thoughtfully, changed into a soothing incense, and said softly: "My lord, it's late at night, let's take a rest."

Emperor Chengming licked the cinnabar with a pen and said, "How's the three judges doing in the past two days?"

Eunuch Lu slowly turned his fingertips, trying to speak in a more tactful tone, "I heard that a slave was captured in Song Ge's old mansion today, and he said that he had seen Song Ge's old man specially invite Shen Shaoqing to talk about the water control map in his mansion... ..."

Eunuch Lu looked at his expression cautiously, and seeing that there was no change, he went on to say: "The Luojiang person from the Water Department Division was tried again, and he was the Jinshi of the imperial examination that Mr. Song Ge was in charge of... But the third division did not dare to try the Song Dynasty. Mr. Ge, right now is a dilemma...but..."

Emperor Chengming folded the memorial, and said coldly: "What, but rumors are spreading, Qin Huai, that stubborn idiot!"

For Emperor Chengming, with the water conservancy map, there is no big difference who can get this honor, and Qin Huai, in order to plead Hanlin's grievances, disregarded the overall situation and destroyed the check and balance situation he single-handedly supported.

But it's not all bad.

For example, he knew that Liu Changze had started to help the Liu family.

He did not hesitate to extend his hand to the cabinet for the Liu family.

Is it because Liu Changze realized that he had the intention to reform the New Deal?

He knew Liu Changze's obsession with the New Deal, so he also knew that he and Liu Changze were in the same boat, and they were fighting in the same room.

Emperor Chengming took a deep breath: "Go to the Ministry of Punishments and get the picture."

At this juncture, the move that should be done is almost done.

Eunuch Lu took over two drawings from his godson Fushun and unfolded them in front of the imperial court.

Emperor Chengming paced to the front of the painting, walking along the canal with his hands, his fingertips fluttering like a butterfly flying across the mountains and seas, that dull-looking person has such amazing talents and exquisite thoughts.

Is this a wit?

Emperor Chengming inevitably thought of Tai Tuo, that petite man who was as ill as a Xizi, who had single-handedly stabilized Xianhe's prosperity and peace in the early years.

When he looked at the painting again, he appreciated Ai Wu and Wu more.

Emperor Chengming's fingertips stopped at the inconspicuous two strokes at the mouth of the gorge, and he asked Eunuch Lu, "Did the person sent to Luojiang reply?"

Eunuch Lu said, "It will take another day."

Emperor Chengming said: "Let the order go down, take a rest on New Year's Eve tomorrow, and ask the third division to suspend the trial for one day."

……

Because he is the person involved in the case, the three divisions will interrogate, and Shen Shi has no part. He has not seen Liu Changze in the past few days, and he has not been in the Hou's mansion.

There is a banquet on New Year's Eve, so it is impossible for Liu Changze to travel far.

Where did you go?

Shen Shi stayed in the Hou's mansion until dusk, playing with the token in his hand, and fell into a daze.

He went out, and asked the boy again: "Do you know where Lord Hou often goes?"

The boy said: "Your Majesty's whereabouts are always erratic. We don't know how many times your lord has asked..."

Shen was a little anxious.

He reckoned that from the accident to the present, there would be news from Luojiang in at most two days.

He had to find Lord Hou.

He needed someone to send news to Li Yunfu, and he also needed someone to bring this matter to light in advance.

But it can't be Song Ge's old school, because Feng An is still avoiding suspicion.

Fu Shangshu is not necessarily willing to wade into muddy waters.

Not to mention the Liu family.

Shen shrugged his head and walked out.

The servant brought him a brighter lamp and said, "The lamp in your lord's hand is too dim. Take the lamp from our Hou's Mansion. The lamps of our Hou's Mansion are specially made by someone, and they are brighter than those in the palace." Woolen cloth."

Shen Shi took it, and this light made his vision much clearer.

He also saw a gap in the top, which seemed to be a festival of a certain year, when he almost tripped over a stone and almost fell, Liu Changze caught him and dropped the lamp.

He still remembers it.

Maybe it was from that day that he got closer to Liu Changze again, instead of keeping a distance of half a meter away.

Shen Shi suddenly asked: "How many days until New Year's Eve?"

The boy said: "Your Excellency, you really forget things a lot. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

Shen Shi smiled, "Thank you."

He thought, maybe Liu Changze would be there.

Little Hou Ye used to come to visit him during the three festivals of the previous year.

……

There are many trees planted in the courtyard of the Taifu Mansion, and flowers bloom all year round, but Liu Changze still likes this pear forest the most. Although the flowers have withered, clusters of new snow fall on the branches, and they look like they are full of flowers. same.

It seems that when the capacity is full, that person will be able to come back.

He sat in the gazebo sleepily, and A Liang warmed him another glass of wine.

Looking carefully, several jugs were poured on the ground, but the side dishes and desserts on Han Baiyu's table remained untouched.

A Liang asked, "Master Hou, before you asked me to check the people around Shen Shaoqing, did you know there was a problem?"

Ah Liang actually didn't want to know the answer, he always asked questions to confirm the degree of drunkenness of Liu Changze.

But in fact, A Liang felt that Liu Changze would not be drunk at all.

Or maybe he was drunk and quite sober.

Liu Changze said, "I don't know."

A Liang thought, he was probably drunk.

He asked again: "Then why did Lord Hou help the Liu family?"

Liu Changze picked up a cup, but didn't drink it. His hand rested on the rim of the cup and twirled it, "Someone is looking for a dead end, of course I have to help."

"The Liu family?"

"All."

A Liang couldn't understand.

Liu Changze drank wine by himself, he hoped to get a little drunker, and it would be better to have hallucinations.

Ah Liang got used to it. Master Hou usually only drank half a pot of wine, and he was not very controlled when it was approaching New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the hazy courtyard, someone suddenly came over with a light on.

It was as if in a quiet and dark forest, a fairy exuding blue phosphorescence appeared, and the fairy strayed into the depths of the lotus root flower.

Ah Liang exclaimed: "Shen..."

Before Ah Liang finished speaking, he saw Liu Changze put a finger on his own lips.

It seemed that they were afraid of disturbing the other party.

Shen didn't look too far away, he could vaguely see a figure, and wanted to get closer before making a sound, in case he misidentified the person.

He held up the long lamp handle, like looking at flowers through fog.

His eyes were illuminated by the dim light, as if they were the same color. He walked forward slowly, the big lampshade blocked half of his face, like a soul-stirring ghost running out of a storybook.

When he walked in, he smelled a lot of wine, but it was a little fragrant.

He blinked seriously, and saw a pair of very affectionate eyes.

There is a thin watery light.

One finger was raised up, as if to say "shh, be quiet".

Shen was puzzled, but saw A Liang behind him beckoning to him...

He took a few steps forward.

"Boom."

The lamp fell to the ground again.

Shen Shi was suddenly hugged by Liu Changze's waist, he was so shocked that he didn't know how to react for a moment, and let Liu Changze stick his hot cheek after drinking to his lower abdomen.

He looked at A Liang helplessly.

But he couldn't see anything.

There was a slight vibration in his lower abdomen, and he heard: "I miss you so much..."

Shen didn't know why, but his heart was sour.

I have the urge to hug him and say "here I am".

He involuntarily put his hand on Liu Changze's head, and then slid it to his shoulder, feeling an indescribable sadness.

He pushed Liu Changze away.

A Liang also re-lighted the lamp.

He said, "Master Hou, I am Shen Shi."

Liu Changze frowned visibly.

Shen was a little hard to breathe, he was not feeling well, so he said, "Master Hou, I have been looking for you for a long time..."

Liu Changze seemed to have eased up again, but Shen could never see through.

Liu Changze straightened up, picked up another cup and drank it, "What do you want me to do, aren't you the best at cleaning up messes..."

Shen Shi took A Liang's lamp, pushed away the food and wine, and placed the lamp between the two of them on the stone platform. Even though he couldn't see through it, he still wanted to take a serious look at Liu Changze.

It seems that staring at Liu Changze is already a habit engraved in his bones.

Liu Changze realized that something was wrong.

He said angrily: "Why did he come here, Ah Liang, can anyone be let into the Tai Tuo's residence!"

A Liang said tremblingly, "Master Hou, he has...a token..."

Liu Changze frowned again, looking very troubled.

But he opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything about taking his token.

He drank another drink.

Shen Shi bit his lower lip, his not-so-full lips turned from bright red to pale.

He picked up the Yuchun jug, poured two glasses of wine, and made a toast to Liu Changze.

Then he tilted his neck slightly and drank it down.

Liu Changze twitched the corner of his mouth, his mood was delicate and unspeakable, he wanted to get angry, but he felt that Shen was very special.

Especially courting death.

ignore him.

Trespassing on the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Dare to drink his wine.

There are many crimes.

"Master Hou, tomorrow is New Year's Eve." Shen said.

Liu Changze said, "Don't even think about it."

Shen Shi asked suspiciously: "Master Hou knows what I want to do?"

Liu Changze smashed the wine glass on the table, and the jade made a crisp sound.

"How dare you mention it!" Liu Changze said.

Of course Liu Changze knew that he was talking about ancestor worship.

Shen was even more confused, he poured another cup for Liu Changze and said, "Li Yunfu..."

Liu Changze interrupted: "Shut up."

Shen Shi shut his mouth in embarrassment, seeing that Liu Changze's complexion was indeed getting worse, he planned to take a break, so he poured another cup courteously.

He felt that Liu Changze was half drunk and half awake, and it would be easier to talk about things if he was a little drunk.

Liu Changze saw that his hand was almost the same color as a jade pot, and he was pouring clear brew from the slender mouth of the bottle at an angle.

What did Shen Shi just say?Li Yunfu...

Liu Changze glanced down and understood again.

He didn't drink that glass of wine, but said: "Master Shen has made a plan for both ends. If you retreat, you can settle down and settle down. If you advance, you can abandon the car to protect the handsome. Why are you here now to invite foreign aid? Don't you think it's too late?"

"Master Hou has seen the master?" Shen was stunned, how did Liu Changze know so much inside information?Is it also related to this matter?

"Stupid!" Liu Changze put his hand on the mouth of the cup and turned it around: "Did Mr. Shen escape from Taohuayuan? Dare to give others the right to choose."

Liu Changze put his fingers into the cup and stirred it: "Every time Zhengyi slaughters more dogs, he is always a scholar. The more people read, the worse their hearts are, and the more selfish they are..."

Then she gave him a venomous look.

Shen Shi was speechless.

He felt as if he had become a heartless man who abandoned his family and children.

What did Liu Changze go through...

Shen Shi decided to get straight to the point, swallowed and said, "Master Hou, I can't interfere with this case, and I can't go to jail to see Brother Yun Fu. Can I ask Lord Hou for help? I have something to tell him."

Liu Changze smiled, and said in a slightly drunken voice, "Do you want to meet him in prison?"

"Correct."

"Is there anything else you want to tell him?"

"Yes."

Liu Changze laughed out loud.

Shen is puzzled.

"No." Liu Changze said with a low face, firmly.

Shen hoped that Liu Changze would stop drinking in the future.
