Placid Chang'an

Su Cen of Xingqing Palace was already familiar with the road, when he arrived at the place, Su Cen just opened the door and entered, but Qi Lin stopped him lightly.

Su Cen looked at him suspiciously.

Qi Lin hesitated for a moment before saying: "Today, the King of Beiliang has been escorted to Liangzhou to hand over the military power."

Su Cen was slightly taken aback.

Qi Lin continued: "How can you say that Xiao Yan and Master are comrades-in-arms who went to the battlefield together and killed the enemy together. This departure should be a farewell. Although Master won't say it, he must feel uncomfortable. Please bear with me."

Su Cen nodded silently, then opened the door and went in.

Li Shi was sitting in the study reviewing the memorial, it was the same as usual, but he couldn't see anything.

Su Cen walked over lightly, stopped in front of the table, dismissed the servants, rolled up his sleeves and lowered his eyebrows to help them grind.

Unless Li Shi let him read these letters, he could avoid them or deliberately avoid them at other times.Li Shi doesn't avoid him, but he has self-knowledge, no matter how good Li Shi treats him, the Li family's world cannot be coveted by outsiders.

After about one stick of incense, Li Shi closed the memorial, put down the ink brush, leaned on the back of the chair and pressed the center of his eyebrows, then extended his hand to Su Cen, "Come on."

Su Cen put down the ink in hand, went straight behind the person, and was gently pinched by the shoulder and neck.

"Finished?" Su Cen lowered his head and asked.

Li Shi casually leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and said, "Such a matter of old sesame seeds and rotten millet has to be played every day. If the court has to decide everything, what's the use of raising them?"

Sure enough, he was very angry.

Su Cen rubbed it repeatedly, "Then let me tell you a case and be happy. I just sent it from the place a few days ago."

Li Shi nodded, and Su Cen said: "It is said that there was an old woman walking at night with a bag on her back, but a thief came up from behind and snatched the old woman's bag and ran away. A passer-by saw it." Then he went up to help chase the little thief, and after catching up, the two of them fought together. When people surrounded him, the little thief turned his face and said that he was here to help. But the sky was dark, and the old woman didn't see what the little thief looked like So the three of them went to the court together. Those two insisted that the other was the thief, how do you think the county magistrate solved the case?"

Li Shi opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "How did it break?"

Su Cen smiled and said, "Everyone has their own way. If Xue Chengzhen comes to interrogate, both of them will probably have to beat the board first. Mr. Zhang should persuade him with kind words. Since the things are not lost, Let them make big things into small things. The county magistrate who tried the case was quite smart. He found a fierce dog and let the dog run after the two people. The one who ran slowly was the thief. Because the passer-by ran Quick, that's why I was able to catch up with that little thief from behind."

"Well, it's pretty smart." Li Shi smiled lightly.

"But I have an easier way."

"Oh?" Li Shi turned his head and glanced at the person, "What can I do?"

Su Cen raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I've agreed, what will you reward me for?"

Li Shi also smiled, "You speak first."

Su Cen's eyes turned sharply, and said: "I just need to take off their shoes and take a look. Ordinary people walk, look forward, focus on the back, and most of the shoes are worn out on the heel. But the eyes of the thieves Keeping an eye on people's purses, it's downwards, which makes them walk with a jerky, center of gravity forward, and the shoes wear down the forefoot. So just by looking at the wear on the soles of their shoes, I can tell which It's a thief, which one is a passer-by."

After finishing speaking, he rested his head on Li Shi's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Does the lord think what I said is right?"

Li Shi raised his hand and pinched Su Cen's chin, and said with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Su Cen walked around in front of the man, leaned against the table and looked at Li Shi and said, "My lord, do you still remember the Qionglin Banquet? Xiang Liu said that he wanted me to attend the emperor's school. I didn't agree at the beginning, can I go back on my word now?"

"Huh?" Li Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why?"

Su Cen straightened up and bowed earnestly, "I was proud and arrogant at the beginning, and I thought I could save the world by myself, but I was too simple. Your Majesty is the foundation of a country. If you can teach your majesty to take the world as your own responsibility and judge the truth Knowing right from wrong is the true fortune of the common people.”

Su Cen didn't dare to straighten up after finishing talking, looked down at Li Shi lightly twisting the Moyu finger on his finger, and didn't give him a reply for a long time.

Just when he thought he had annoyed people again, he saw that hand stretched out in front of his eyes. He passed his hand over by accident, and was gently pulled and fell into Li Shi's arms.

"That's it?" Li Shi asked while pinching his chin.

Su Cen didn't dare to look at him, her eyes were too deep, she could easily see through him, so she lowered her eyes and replied, "That's it."

Li Shi exerted some strength in his hand, pinched his chin to make Su Cen look up, looked straight at him and said, "You are afraid that we will repeat the same mistakes as Mo Ji and Mo He."

There was no doubt in that tone, it was a firm conclusion.

Su Cen sighed secretly, there was no room for him to hide his small thoughts in front of this person.

Speaking of which, since he came back from the outskirts of the city, he was really worried, not only because of Xiao Yan, but also because of the turmoil that he hadn't witnessed far away in the sky.

Mo Hejihan's position was still small, and Mo Ji had monopolized the power. When he became an adult, he would naturally regard Mo Ji as a thorn in his side. Li Shi also took advantage of this to stir up Turkic internal strife and resolve the disaster.

But he still had lingering fears.

They are so similar, the Mo He and Mo Ji back then are too similar to the Little Emperor and Li Shi today.

During the half a year since he entered the court, he also saw that although Li Shi was arrogant and domineering, everything he did was indeed beneficial to the country and the people. He relied on his own strength to support the world. Taking advantage of the fact that the Son of Heaven was fishing in troubled waters for personal gain when he was young, he blocked them back with all his strength, but he also made countless enemies in the court because of this.

But these little emperors don't know, he only knows that the emperor's uncle is very cruel to him and will scold him mercilessly in the court. He is still young and can't discern the truth, if someone provokes right and wrong in front of him, Let him have a grudge against this uncle?When he takes power and has his own fangs, who will be the first to deal with it?

So these, someone has to tell him.

Su Cen didn't know why Li Shi raised him, promoted him, and protected him. If it was to win him over to become King Ning's party, then Li Shi won.At least now, no matter whether it is out of public or selfishness, he is an out-and-out King Ning Party. He is willing to plan for this person and do things for him that he didn't like at the beginning.

After a while, Li Shi smiled, "No need."

Su Cen raised his head suspiciously, and fell into those eyes that were like bright stars.

"Don't worry," Li Shi gently touched the person's head, "It won't be that far, don't worry."

A heart fell into the warm water for no reason, and Su Cen nodded obediently in Li Shi's arms. He didn't know what kind of magical power this person had, and said that he didn't need to worry, his heart really sank slowly. go down.

That's right, Li Shi is not Moji, he is so powerful, he must have planned it long ago, how could he let himself fall into such a situation.

For the rest of the time, he hugged a free book and nestled in Li Shi's arms to accompany others to read the rest of the memorial.When the lights first came on, he was backlit, and the words on the book could not be read clearly, so he looked up at Li Shi's jaw line, which was surrounded by a halo against the light, making it even more gorgeous and solemn.

Su Cen couldn't help reaching out to touch it, Li Shi looked down at him, "What's wrong? Are you bored?"

Su Cen shook his head, "No."

Li Shi's vermilion pen left the notebook, moved it down slightly, and tapped lightly on Su Cen's forehead.

There is a little cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, which reflects a little redness in the heart.

Su Cen watched the lust in Li Shi's eyes burn up bit by bit, and a certain part of his body began to gather momentum. He couldn't help but panic, picked up the memorabilia on the table and handed it to him. "State affairs are important."

Li Shi refused to answer, and said to him: "You can help me."

"Ah?" Su Cen was slightly taken aback, "Me?"

Seeing that Li Shi nodded, it didn't look like a joke, so Su Cen slowly opened the playbook.

Li Shi gently wrapped a finger around a strand of his hair, staring at him with scorching hot eyes.

If it wasn't for the memorial book, Su Cen felt that his face would be burnt.

At the end, Li Shi asked: "How is it?"

Su Cen also laughed, no wonder Li Shi let him see it, it's not a big deal, the Master Wang Yanwang who was sent to Guizhou wanted to ask His Majesty for a copy of the calligraphy that showed his fearlessness of power, and keep it as a family heirloom in the future, Passed down from generation to generation.

Su Cen also didn't like this Lord Wang. As a censor, his eyes were only on the Xingqing Palace, and he made a fortune by impeaching Prince Ning.

Putting the notebook together, pouted and said: "The bitch still wants to set up a memorial archway."

Li Shi laughed, patted the man on the back to signal him to stand up, and then got up and stretched himself, "Then build a memorial archway for him and grind it."

Su Cen replaced the previous red ink with black ink, and saw Li Shi dipped a brush bucket into the ink and finished it with a single stroke, majestic and in one go:

The frog in the well

Su Cen couldn't help laughing out loud.

This remark is taken from a poem: The frog in the pei grows angry eyes, and the division fights freely.The proud king bows, and can be the voice of advocacy.

This is a metaphor that Wang is like a frog in a shallow pond, short-sighted, noisy and annoying, and it is indeed extremely appropriate

No matter how you say it, it is a gift from the emperor, so it is natural to hang it in the main hall of the home to show respect.The question is, how can Wang Yan hang these four big characters and pass them on from generation to generation?

He could even imagine that little old man Wang Yan crooked his beard in anger but could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

Su Cen looked up at Li Shi, he was too ruthless, he really couldn't afford to provoke him.

It happened that Li Shi was also looking at him, "The state affairs are done, now it's time to deal with private affairs."

"Huh?" Su Cen looked down, and saw that the notebooks on the table had all been approved, and that was the last one just now.

Before he had time to run, he was grabbed by someone, picked up horizontally and sent back to the bed.

Su Cen was powerless to look at the sky, and couldn't afford to offend... really couldn't afford to offend.
