The Prince and the Demon Monk [Rebirth]

Liang Cheng came to the bedroom, just opened the door, and found Yi Nian sitting in the middle, slowly making tea, Liang Cheng gently closed the door, said: "I have to go to the palace."

Liang Cheng had always asked Liu Yun to report his whereabouts to Emperor Ming Yuan, but the specific itinerary was false. Now that he returned to the Eastern Capital, he would naturally go to the palace to greet Emperor Ming Yuan. Suspect.

Yi Nian put down the teacup and said: "Just now the butler has asked someone to prepare hot water."

"That's Cheng Shun, the person I personally picked, who has been in charge of my chores outside the palace. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell him." Liang Cheng took off his coat and walked into the back room. When he heard Yi Nian following behind him, he turned his head. Glaring, "Wait outside, I don't have time to make trouble with you right now."

There was quite a tone that the head of the family was impatient with his wife's obsession.

Just thinking about it so that he wouldn't be fooled, he stepped forward and unbuttoned Liang Cheng's skirt, stroked it down, and said, "You've always been used to being served by others, so it's quick to be alone, not to mention you haven't told me about the beggar What's the matter with the child."

This is really wronging Liang Cheng. He has grown so big, because of his secretive body, he has never been like other princes and nobles. No matter how big or small, he is always served by someone. Taking a bath is absolutely no problem, but he knows in his heart He couldn't say a single thought, so he let it go to untie his hair and take off his shirt, and opened his mouth to talk about improving his quality.

"Once this happens, I'm afraid another group of people will fall." Yi Nian poured water on Liang Cheng's smooth shoulders, brushed the other's slightly sunken collarbone with one hand, and asked leisurely: "Do you know the servant of the household department?" Lin Zhihe?"

Liang Cheng thought about it: "I know, when I was walking in the Ministry of Households, I had contact with him. I came from a poor family, he is a man of skill, and he is tactful. He is a student of Shi Guangyuan, Minister of Rites."

"Junior Brother, do you know his original identity?" Yi Nian asked mysteriously.

Liang Cheng was startled, "Is he from the Unshige Pavilion?"

"That's right. There are disciples in various places in Bushi Pavilion pretending to be ordinary people's homes, or farmers, or merchants, or squires. Most of these people are the remnants of King Teng. Every year, some orphans are adopted in the pavilion, and some are raised in the pavilion. Next year, they will be sent to various sects to practice martial arts, and some will be assigned to various families as relatives. They will be taught since childhood, and when they grow up, they will participate in the imperial examination and become officials in the court. It was formed by Tao Shilin's servant and old general Shan Kui, who were seated by King Teng. Over the years, they have used this method to plant a lot of eyeliners in the court, and Lin Zhihe is one of them."

What Yi Nian didn't say was that in order to avoid someone's betrayal, these people were all fed poison and had to take antidote every season.

But Liang Cheng had already set off a storm in his heart, he didn't know that the power of one thought had penetrated so deeply into the court.

Yi Nian didn't seem to mind revealing his hole cards to Liang Cheng at all, "The household department is in charge of the world's salt and iron, and Huang Zekai's matter, in fact, Lin Zhihe had already noticed it before, but he had no evidence, so he temporarily hid it from him, so as not to startle the snake. If you don't hand over your account book to Lin Zhihe, it will take you out of this matter."

Hearing this, Liang Cheng couldn't help being silent. Indeed, he had already become a monk. If he came out again because of this matter, he might not only become the target of public criticism, but also be jealous of Emperor Ming Yuan.

Yi Nian continued to persuade: "And in a few days, you will preside over the Buddha's birthday in Daxiangguo Temple, and the Empress Dowager will come to pay respects to the Buddha in person. Before this time, there should be no further incidents. Besides, it has been a month since the Zhan's house caught fire, and Huang Zekai has already erased all traces. This is a time of high alert, and the whole family was buried in the sea of ​​fire without any reason by the order of a state. When the dust settled, he was caught off guard, what would my junior think?"

After thinking about what he said, every sentence made sense, and Liang Cheng expressed his last doubts, "Brother, behind this matter, either the second prince or the sixth prince, Tang Hexuan, the grandfather of the sixth prince, is now an official worshiper of the Minister of the Household Department, and Lin Zhihe is working under him. If this matter is really related to the sixth prince, Lin Zhihe may not be able to attend the emperor."

Yi Nian said with certainty: "No, this matter has nothing to do with the Sixth Prince. After all, he has just gained power, and he can't reach Shanxi. If Tang Hexuan knows this account book, even if Huang Zekai is not the Second Prince's person, he will He will also bite the Second Prince's party to death."

Liang Cheng raised his head and asked, "Brother, do you think this matter has nothing to do with the Second Prince?"

Yi Nian pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "You kiss me, and I will tell you."

Embarrassed, Liang Cheng patted the surface of the water, and said angrily, "I'm telling you something serious, but you're so, so full of such things!"

Yi Nian pressed Liang Cheng's hand, and said with a smile: "What is this kind of thing? Husband and wife are intimate and affectionate, isn't it the greatest human relationship in the world?"

"..." Liang Cheng stared.

Yi Nian grabbed Liang Cheng's wrists with one hand, pressed him against the wall of the barrel, leaned close to the corner of the other's mouth, and exhaled: "Junior Brother, whether you want to kiss or not, you need to know that time will not wait for me, if you don't kiss again, you will not wait until the expiration date."

He was just a disciple, Liang Cheng slandered, stretched out his head and kissed Yi Nian on Yi Nian's mouth, this time he had learned the trick, before Yi Nian could make a move, he took a step back and said: "Okay, Say it."

Yi Nian slowly licked his lips, looked straight at Liang Cheng, and said, "Junior brother, you've failed in your studies."

"This is a smart change." Liang Cheng said quite complacently.

Don't want to read a sly smile: "The Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot tall. Senior brother lied to you just now. I am only sure that the sixth prince is not the person behind it, but I don't know about the rest."

Liang Cheng: "..."

……

Liang Cheng finally adopted Yi Nian's plan, but he still had to enter the palace. After all, not to mention that he was originally the son of Emperor Ming Yuan, and now he still has the status of a national teacher, so he naturally had to enter the palace to pay his respects when he returned to Beijing.

Before entering the palace, Liang Cheng said to Liang Ji: "The case of the Zhan family is not the best time right now, after the Buddha's birthday, brother will make his own arrangements."

Liang Ji was slightly surprised, for some reason Liang Cheng suddenly changed his mind, did someone suggest something to him?Liang Ji guessed in his head, but knew he couldn't ask anything, so he pretended to be anxious and worried: "I hope Miss Zhan can see it better."

Liang Cheng teased, "Ji'er, at such a young age, you already know how to pity and cherish jade?"

Daqi did not have a strong defense against men and women, and the folk customs were open, and it was not uncommon for women to play horses in the street. Even after divorce, they could remarry, and the dowry still belonged to themselves, not to their husbands. The pursuit of some elegant young masters or romantic talents, and the shameful love between teenagers and girls are topics that elders are happy to talk about.

Liang Ji wasn't afraid that his brother would see his novelty about Zhan Qingzhi, but he didn't intend to just admit it, and said sternly: "Brother's words are wrong, I just pity her for a weak girl, once her family is ruined and her family dies, she will go a long way." It is really not easy to rush to Beijing to ask for advice."

Liang Cheng didn't point it out, but just reminded lightly: "Miss Zhan is lonely now, if you are just looking for novelty, don't provoke her."

Liang Ji's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Liang Cheng to say such words to him. He was wronged and guilty at the same time. In fact, with his status, it was indeed impossible to marry an orphan girl as a princess. Child, I couldn't help but pay attention.

After a long silence, Liang Ji finally nodded and said, "Brother, I understand."

Afterwards, there was nothing to say all the way, Liang Ji went back to his bedroom, while Liang Cheng went to the Ganlu Hall.

Emperor Ming and Yuan lived, ate, slept, and corrected memorials, all in Ganlu Hall, which is the largest palace complex in the imperial palace except Zichen Hall and Chongzheng Hall. Said: "I have seen the Master of the National Teacher, please wait for a while, the Master of the National Teacher, I will go to report it when I am humble."

"I'm sorry." Liang Cheng nodded.

The guard came out soon, bowed and said, "Master, Your Majesty, please."

Liang Cheng nodded and walked towards the hall. After entering, besides Emperor Ming Yuan, there was a familiar figure from the back, which was Mr. Meng Liu.

After being slightly surprised, Liang Cheng calmed down, and Meng Liujun could no longer disturb his mood.

He walked slowly to the front of the hall, his steps were leisurely and leisurely, his expression was peaceful and peaceful, he clasped his palms together in front of his chest, and saluted: "The poor monk pays homage to the emperor, Your Majesty's peace."

From the beginning to the end, there was always a line of sight glued to his body, Liang Cheng just didn't notice it, and looked straight ahead.

"National Teacher, please get up." Emperor Ming Yuan raised his hand to support him, and then said to Meng Liujun beside him, "If Meng Aiqing is fine, then step down."

Mr. Mengliu bowed his head and said, "I will leave you."

After speaking, he slowly exited the Ganlu Hall, passed by Liang Cheng, paused slightly, and then retreated as if nothing had happened.

Liang Cheng lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, as if he didn't notice anything.

There were only father and son left in the hall, Emperor Ming Yuan looked Liang Cheng up and down, and said with emotion, "Cheng'er, you've lost weight."

Liang Cheng lowered his head, "The poor monk is terrified, which makes His Majesty worry."

"Father and son after all, even though you are now escaping into Buddhism, the nature of blood ties is constantly parting." Emperor Ming Yuan walked up to Liang Cheng, took Liang Cheng's hand, and said, "Let's stay with me for dinner this time. This time you travel around Beijing, you must have seen and heard a lot, tell me about it.”

When Liang Cheng was held by Emperor Ming Yuan, his scalp exploded. In the past, if Emperor Ming Yuan ordered him to have a meal together, Liang Cheng naturally had no reason to be unhappy, but now he avoids it out of fear, but he can't directly reply. Refused, he could only say: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for the poor monk to stay in the palace to eat as a vegetarian."

"It's because I've lost my mind." Emperor Ming Yuan was actually just putting on a show, hearing the words and saying: "So I have to do it."

The two talked a little more, Liang Cheng took his leave, walked out of the Ganlu Palace for a while, and suddenly a person appeared from the rockery beside him, it was Meng Liujun.

"My lord, let me tell you something."
