Chang'an Youth Tour

On the sixth day of Prince Yongqian Palace's sickness, Luo Heng left the East Palace.

When the news reached Yan Junyu, he was practicing with a gun, and it was Minglu who came to tell him that he was running out of breath. As soon as Yan Junyu heard that Luo Heng was leaving, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurried to find a horse. The horse chased out.Riding horses in the palace is also one of the crimes worthy of impeachment, but now Yan Junyu gradually understands the style of Ao Ji and the others. Some rules are not ignorant, but they just don't want to abide by them, because there are more worthwhile things to do.Even dare not break this rule, what kind of East Palace companion.

Maybe it's because of that set of marksmanship, or maybe it's time, many beliefs are gradually taking shape in his heart, and he understands why Li Daoyong said he was a knife back then.

His horse was fast, and soon caught up with Luo Heng's car at the gate of the palace. Luo Heng's identity has never been revealed, he came and left in the name of the theater troupe.It is still a very unremarkable car, reflecting the sunset, it looks even more casual, no one knows that the person sitting outside the car is the most knowledgeable talent in the world, and the person in the car is even a gentleman who plays chess like chess.

Seeing Yan Junyu coming, the car stopped, Luo Heng raised the curtain, didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

"You want to go?" Yan Junyu couldn't speak, just asked blankly.

"En." Luo Heng was still very indifferent, and said with a smile: "The real mastermind of the Eastern Palace has returned, and I have to leave."

He was talking about Ye Liangyu, of course, and even Yan Junyu had to admit that in terms of strategy, Ye Liangyu was not inferior to him, and his identity was corrected, and he was more familiar with the secrets in the big Zhou strategy field that only the insiders knew.No matter how talented Luo Heng is, he can't catch up with the education Ye Liangyu received since he was a child.

But Yan Junyu still only thinks he is good.

"Will you come back again?" He looked eagerly into Luo Heng's eyes, determined to ask a result: "Will you come back after everything is over?"

The end he said naturally means that when everything is over, after the new emperor ascends the throne, sinners can be forgiven, even if they are relegated to the teaching workshop and the low status, they can have a day of recovery.There was a precedent before, when Yan Junyu told him in a serious manner last time that Emperor Qingde also made concubines of court ladies from humble backgrounds, Luo Heng just laughed and didn't tell him the difference between men and women.

Yan Junyu has never learned how to be the cruelest part of scheming, and the consideration of scheming is never whether it is a pity, but whether he can win.Although Emperor Qingde was ruthless in his attacks, he seldom attacked the princes in Lingyan Pavilion, so Yan Junyu had never seen such a huge waste, so what if he was extremely talented?It is to show the power of the imperial power that generations must be put to death in Jiaofangsi.That day Luo Heng told him about the overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu, and the importance of distinguishing rewards and punishments for maintaining a power alliance, but he didn't listen at all.

Luo Heng's ancestors were the losers in the power struggle, and they could not be defeated again. Zhu Jiu Clan just cut off their bloodlines, leaving a bloodline and humiliating them in the Jiaofang Division will relieve their hatred.

What's more, the political opponents who had fought to the death with his grandfather hadn't finished yet. Who wouldn't worry about Wu Zixu's revenge?Of course Xiao Jingyan could break the rules and save him, but this would damage the prestige of the imperial power.Repaying grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue, if the ending of "pure ministers" like Yong Hanhai and Duan Changfu is the same as that of the Pingxi Palace who has made great contributions to support, then in the future, who will share with the East Palace like Rong Hao? Survival?Why don't you hug Emperor Qingde's thigh first, anyway, no matter who ascends the throne, he won't be punished.

So even if Luo Heng's branch were to return to commoner status, it would be after five generations.After Xiao Jingyan ascended the throne, although Yong Hanhai would not be able to punish the Nine Clans, at least he would perish for three generations. Even if there was a genius like Luo Heng among them, it would be impossible for him to be reused.This has nothing to do with waste of right or wrong, it's just the rules of the game, and Luo Heng's ability can't change any outcome.

So Luo Heng just smiled and said: "Don't be so childish, you can still come to Lizi Hutong to find me in the future, it's no different from being in the palace."

He knew that what Yan Junyu was talking about was not about not being able to meet again, so he said it on purpose.If it was changed, it would be fine, but Yan Junyu was really stubborn when he was stubborn, but he just didn't agree.Recently, he has become as tall as Li Daoyong and the others. He no longer looks like a young man angry, but with the stubbornness of a young man, and a more powerful silence.

The setting sun in the sky is like blood. This scene is a farewell that cannot be written in any poem, but Luo Heng just doesn't like sad people. Instead, he smiled and said: "Yan Junyu, do you want to listen to another lesson?"

"What class?" Yan Junyu was still wary that he was just changing the subject.

Luo Heng laughed.

"Do you still remember the day I taught you what the emperor technique is?"

"remember."

Listening to the piano in the small courtyard that day, he said that the art of power at its peak is the art of the emperor. If you want to rule the whole world, if you don’t play well, you will die and the country will be destroyed. Just like the previous dynasty, even a powerful eunuch can abolish the emperor and strangle them. Died at court.

"You understand strategy, but you don't understand the emperor. Sitting in this position, he is like sitting on the tip of a knife. He has to think about how to grasp this huge power every day, how to keep himself alive, and his descendants will live on for generations. Go on. The courtiers still have the Jiaofang Secretary to retreat, but the royal family has no way out. Dynasties have a lifespan, which dynasty and the last emperor will have a good end? It's just time." Luo Heng said the rebellious words in a flat tone: "This A fear that never goes away, like a sword hanging over his head, day after day, turning him into a monster."

No one is more suitable to talk about this than him who was born in Jiaofangsi.

But they all knew that they were not talking about the emperor who demoted his grandfather to the Jiaofang Division, or even the one in the Yonggan Palace today. He was talking about someone else.

"I'm not afraid." Yan Junyu answered him like this: "You see him as His Highness the Crown Prince, but I see him as Xiao Huan. He was born to be a Crown Prince, just like I was born to be Yan Junyu. No one can change this. All we can do is to try our best to achieve a future. My mother said that if you try your best and fail to achieve it, you can have no regrets. I want me to think about it in the future, and I will never regret it.”

Luo Heng wanted to say more, but Yan Junyu leaned forward, looked into his eyes seriously, and told him, "I know everything."

Luo Heng was taken aback for a moment, he thought Yan Junyu was talking about the lesson just now, and then he understood.

He knew everything he said, everything.The matter of the phoenix bird, the matter of the clay figurines... The world is dull and can't tell the difference between ignorance and sincerity.Yan Junyu knew everything, and the story of the clay figurine spread throughout the court that night. The East Palace was humiliated, and everyone in the world was outraged, but no one was more sad than Yan Junyu, because it was his Xiaolu.

But he also forgives.

Because he knew that Luo Heng was not plotting against him, he wanted Yan Junyu to participate in every plot, instead of being an outsider in a daze.

Luo Heng felt sad and relieved at the same time, and finally just asked him: "Do you still remember the story I told?"

"remember."

He said that hunters know that the eagle's nest is on a cliff, and the young eagle has no chance to practice flying. When it is time to fly, the eagle will push the child off the eagle's nest.As a human being, you can only push yourself.

He wants Yan Junyu to fly by himself.

The sun was setting and the palace alley was getting dark, but Yan Junyu's eyes were so bright: "Rong Hao said the teacher of one word, you have taught me three lessons, I will call you master from now on?"

The way he was lying on the carriage was so fun, no one would be willing to hurt him, a well-behaved boy, a brave boy.Just thinking about the day when his heart would be broken, Luo Heng felt murderous in his heart.Such a pure heart is destined to be crushed in the palace.

With mixed feelings in Luo Heng's heart, he just nodded slightly.Yan Junyu was afraid that he would hurt himself by overthinking, and just wanted to make him happy, when Luo Heng suddenly tilted his head and said, "Xiaoyan, listen."

Yan Junyu listened attentively, and there seemed to be a very melodious sound of the qin coming from behind the palace. The guqin is really strange, obviously not loud, but the sound is like waves, slow and long, always coming to you.

Yan Junyu immediately guessed who was playing the piano, but she couldn't believe it and looked at Luo Heng in surprise.

No wonder Luo Heng chose this side to leave the palace, this is the palace gate closest to Yongqian Palace, he knew that even if Luo Heng said ten thousand times about the emperor's intentions, in his heart, he must feel that Xiao Jingyan was different.Just like what he said that day, sometimes there is fate between the monarch and his ministers. Even if it doesn't start well and end well, even if it's only for a while, as long as you do your best, it will be enough for a lifetime.

Xiao Jingyan knew he was leaving, so he played the piano to see him off.This is very similar to the story in an ancient book, the monarch and his ministers get each other, and in this respect, it can be regarded as worthy of Luo Heng who spends every day flipping through books in the side courtyard to boil his gray hair.

"What song is this?" Yan Junyu couldn't hear it at all.

Even Luo Heng was a little hesitant. Li Jieyuan was well-informed and said calmly, "It's "Song of the Five Songs."

Yan Junyu didn't know what Five Songs was, but felt that the expression on Luo Heng's face was very complicated for a moment, like relief, and relief, maybe a little bit sad, it's hard to explain.

Seeing that he was confused, Li Daoyong explained: "The Song of Five Songs was written by Liang Hong in the Han Dynasty. Holy Lord, it’s not a good time for Liang Hong to flee to Haiqu’. This is the allusion of Liang Hong, who was hunted down by Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty because he wrote the Wuxie song, changed his name and surname, and died of poverty.”

Although Yan Junyu couldn't quite remember it, he understood how well the allusion of His Highness the Crown Prince was used.When he and Luo Heng met for the first time, Yan Junyu jokingly said that Luo Heng was Jia Yi, pitiful Ye Zhongxu, who didn't ask common people to ask ghosts and gods, he must remember, and he must know that Yan Junyu would be here, with Luo Heng Listen to this piano music, because Yan Junyu will never let Luo Heng leave alone like this.

The situation of Li Daoyong and Luo Heng was similar to that of Liang Hong.Yan Junyu knew that he was not only using Liang Hong's high morals as a metaphor for them, but he must also be saying that even a monarch is beyond his power, so he has to wait.He would not let them be as depressed as Liang Hong Jia Yi, otherwise Luo Heng's expression would not be so relieved.

"Let's go." Luo Heng said with a smile, and greeted: "Your Highness will send you farewell with qin music. We are just like Jia Yi and Liang Hong. Let's get on the road."

The carriage continued to move forward, Yan Junyu had no choice but to let go, he knew that Luo Heng had always been unrestrained and unrestrained, he was not someone who loved Yiyi and cherished others, so he had to stand in the palace alley and watch him go away.Unexpectedly, after walking a certain distance, Luo Heng poked his head out of the window suddenly.

"Yan Junyu, remember the poem I read at the family dinner that day, don't forget it."

"it is good!"

That day at the Donggong family banquet, Rong Hao was drunk, and he recited poems and laughed at Donggong's Yangyan Junyu who raised chickens. He read a sentence "raising chickens and eating chickens, and cooking them when they are cooked." There is a soup wok nearby, and the wild cranes have no food, and the world is wide."

Luo Heng is telling himself, no matter when, don't lose yourself.

Even at the end, when there is no way to do everything possible, Ye Liangyu has his own pine forest, and he also has his own world.

But Yan Junyu didn't know, he didn't fully understand Xiao Jingyan's piano piece.

When "Song of the Five Songs" sounded, Xuan Tongfu was serving the sick in the Yonghe Hall, originally it was the Jin faction's turn tonight, and Yong Hanhai even arrived at the Imperial Palace early to tell some fresh stories to Emperor Qingde.However, Xuan Tongfu has recently devoted himself to expressing his loyalty to Emperor Qingde, so he hasn't left after the shift change time.No wonder he was so determined, the Qin faction was the main force of capable officials in the Great Zhou, and in the three provinces and six ministries, they were the ones who worked hard to do practical things.So even though the monarch and his ministers are alienated, there is no danger of extinction, and if the crown prince is the crown prince, they will not be the first to be liquidated.

But when the piano music sounded, his face still changed.

He was born in the imperial examination, and he was the number one scholar in the examination. If he hadn't been a chancellor for more than ten years, he would have already become a learned scholar, so he quickly heard the origin of the qin music.On the contrary, Yong Hanhai and the officials from the Jin faction couldn't hear it for a long time, so Emperor Qingde said with a cold face: "It's such a "Song of the Five Songs", it's impossible to treat me as a fool."

The courtiers tried to persuade him one after another, but none of them dared to defend the prince. The prestige of the "witchcraft incident" before was still there, and the father and son were at odds. Who would dare to make trouble at this time?Moreover, all the courtiers and servants have to deal with political affairs in the front hall, and those who will appear here are all pure ministers who are determined.

Xuan Tongfu was far above them in terms of intelligence, but this time, for some reason, he didn't cater to him in time.He just stayed in front of the imperial court absent-mindedly for a while, and left after a while.Many officials saw him pacing up to the imperial steps outside the palace, hesitating endlessly, as if hesitating about something embarrassing.

In the end, he didn't dare to go to the quiet room to ask what happened. Fortunately, it was time for His Royal Highness to pay her respects at night. After the incident with the clay figurine, her expression remained calm.For some reason, Xuan Tongfu was afraid to look her in the eyes.

This time she also passed by with a cold expression. Xuan Tongfu bowed his hands to greet him. She didn't speak, but stopped for a while, and suddenly smiled contemptuously.

Xuan Tongfu knew that the conjecture was confirmed.For a moment he couldn't tell what emotion was in his heart, of course it was ecstasy, but it was ups and downs, with mixed feelings, he only felt that the melody of "Song of Wuxi" was still lingering in his heart, and the disciples next to him saw his pale face and thought he was sick up.

He didn't know how guilty Xuan Tongfu was.

On February [-]th, Wu Zhengping, a disciple of old Ye Xiang and the only minister of the Ministry of Industry among the six ministries who has always stayed out of the matter, wrote a letter asking the emperor to appoint an imperial envoy to supervise the water conservancy in the north.Emperor Qingde approved from his sick bed that although the water conservancy in the north was delayed, the irrigation channels could still be repaired before the spring flood. In fact, the big flood was only a possibility, and the real urgent task was to irrigate the farmland.

If it's just like this, it won't be enough to play the five songs.

The next day, Wu Zhengping wrote again, requesting the Ministry of Punishment to suspend the prison order, and not to deliberately arrest civilians to serve as civilian husbands.Although the Ministry of Punishment was in the hands of officials from the Jin faction of Yong Hanhai, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry was still pending. Wu Zhengping was equivalent to the head of the Ministry of Industry, and his words were still powerful among Emperor Qingde.Officials from the Jin faction gathered at Yong Hanhai's house overnight, and finally reached a conclusion after discussing that the prison order was suspended.

The so-called jail husband order was originally intended to give those petty criminals who were unable to redeem themselves a way out, allowing them to act as civilian husbands and build channels for the government.However, any government order can be exploited when it comes to the bottom, and the order of prison husband is no exception.The Jin faction controls the low-level county government, so whenever it is time to build water conservancy or use manpower at the end of the year and the first month of the year, they will directly fabricate charges, arrest people wantonly, lock them up for a few days, and treat them as free labor.Naturally, all the saved funds were embezzled.

They are still restrained in Jin, but they don't care when they leave their ancestral home.As soon as this decree to suspend the order of the prisoner was released, there was joy in the Northland. In the county of Wushan, Xuan Tongfu's hometown, hundreds of prisoners were released.

Such power is the result of Wu Zhengping not participating in any power struggles, but Xuan Tongfu knows that he is not without factions.In fact, he should be the most powerful and cleanest chess piece in the Eastern Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful dark chess move.He could have used it in a more critical moment, not this.What is the relationship between the people's livelihood in the North and the East Palace?

A long time ago, Yun Lan said that the prison husband's order and the water conservancy would either force Emperor Qingde to return to the East Palace, or completely collapse Xuan Tongfu.Even if Donggong cared about people's livelihood, he didn't have to take any responsibility, just watched from the sidelines, the more people died, the better.

But His Royal Highness made the worst move.

The answer lies in his qin music, and also in the words he and Yan Junyu said.That was what he was thinking about that day in the bell tower.He uses Yunlan as a sharp sword, but sometimes she is too sharp. After playing tricks for a long time, it is easy to forget that the prisoners in the prison and the people who will starve to death in the next year are the most real. .

Xuan Tongfu pretended to be affectionate, thinking that this piano piece was for him, but in fact Xiao Jingyan played it to his mastermind, and told him his choice in the farewell piano piece.That's why Luo Heng's expression was so complicated, he was relieved and sad because he chose such a monarch for himself, because he couldn't accompany him to the end in the end.

Emperor Qingde regarded divide and rule as an imperial technique, the poor and the sick, the weary and the weak.However □□ did not win the world because of this. Although the history books say that the world is too ideal, it is a fact, just like hard work and bravery are not something to lie to children.In his opinion, scheming is always the last trick, and he didn't even do it because of Xuan Tongfu, a courtier, so it doesn't matter if he makes a concession, it doesn't matter if Xuan Tongfu is obsessed with obsession, he can always win.He did this not to win over Xuan Tongfu, but because he is Xiao Jingyan, the master of the world, no matter what, his sword will not be aimed at his own people.

This is his imperial technique.
