Chang'an Youth Tour

When Rong Hao returned to the East Palace, it was already late at night.

Although the Hu people are not as elegant as the Han people, they are not fools. They practiced well at the banquet, and suddenly sang Zhaojun is coming out of the fortress. When we said goodbye, he was right next to him, with his mask off, watching with a half-smile.

Rong Hao felt physically and mentally exhausted when he came back, he got off his horse at the door, and just about to go in, he saw a group of people approaching from a distance, carrying the lantern from the East Palace, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Yun Lan.

He knew where Yun Lan came back from. She was actually the prince's right-hand man, accompanied by men, and it was inconvenient to walk in the palace. She was a female official, and her status was convenient. Not to mention, the queen's place is one of the power centers.

He and Yun Lan had never gotten along very well, just as he was about to go in, he heard Yun Lan calling him from behind: "Is this Mr. Rong, please stand a little longer."

The attendants were all clever, seeing Yun Lan waving his hands, they all went down, only the two of them were left standing at the gate of the East Palace, and the guards didn't dare to come over.Although Rong Hao didn't want to listen to her harsh words, he also knew that she was not someone who would cause trouble, so he stood quietly, waiting for her to speak.

But Yun Lan said: "The moonlight is beautiful tonight, Mr. Rong will accompany me to enjoy the moon."

In fact, there is no moon in 27, but there is an afterglow in the sky, and you can’t see it clearly. Rong Hao knows that she has something to say, and follows her into the East Palace. The sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming in the garden, and the fragrance is deadly, but the pond is full of lotus leaves Most of it is broken, the artistic conception is good.

Yun Lan walked for a while and stopped under the willow tree.

"When I was young, I liked two lines of poems the most. The pear blossom courtyard melted into the moon, and the catkin pond was light." She looked at a little moon shadow in the pond and laughed: "Children only like shallow and gentle things. Now that I think about it, I find it funny."

Rong Hao knew that she had studied, but she didn't usually show her skills, but she was no worse than a companion.The few of them study together in the open, and she in the dark, and occasionally cooperate with each other, and they also have an understanding of each other's strengths.But there is a difference between men and women, and the other is that she has always been deep, so she often jokes on the surface, but in fact she has never had a real heart-to-heart time.

"There are good pear blossoms in Yichun Palace." Rong Hao also said indifferently.

Yun Lan laughed.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Rong Hao, because she wanted to see the queen, she was wearing makeup today, wearing an autumn-colored palace attire, and she was wearing a bun from a distant mountain, it was like a pile of clouds, but she was very warm Wan Niao Na, the whole person is weak, her eyebrows are like autumn water, Rong Hao is also startled.

But what she said was so fascinating.

"Rong Hao, are you very reluctant to part with Li Daoyong?"

Rong Hao's heart trembled, so he had to be more calm, and said with a smile: "Where does this start? I only saw him for the second time today."

"Anyone who writes well is always sympathetic to each other. In ancient times, there was no need to see the high mountains and rivers. If you have read his articles, you will inevitably regret his talents." Yun Lan said lightly: "If he has seen your poems , but also to respect. It's nothing... When he dies, you just send him off."

A chill came from Rong Hao's back, he knew the means of the prison, and Li Daoyong would go in like this without torture.But he still smiled on his face and said: "Didn't it just be sent in, so I was killed?"

Yun Lan didn't know if he could see his emotions, but her face was still calm, and said: "It's not enough to kill him, the emperor doesn't say anything, anyone who dares to touch him, it's just a torture, kill him first Vigorousness, it seems that there is no injury, it is just those means. After all, he will always die, but it is just at the emperor's discretion."

Hearing this, Rong Hao felt chills all over his body, he was a prince's temper after all, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Although his method is straight, it is for not wanting to get married, he is helping us, why do you have to ridicule him like this."

Yun Lan looked up at him and smiled.

"Sometimes, I really don't know what to say about you..." She sighed, and said, "You and I both know that his behavior has no effect other than angering that person. That person's temper, you Don't know?"

Whenever she mentions Emperor Qingde in private, she always refuses to call him Holy Majesty, and Rong Hao has never known the reason.Fortunately, the East Palace has no eyeliner, even Emperor Qingde's eyes and ears can't get in, so no one can hear it.

"I'm not as good as you." Rong Hao couldn't help but said, "It's said that you are studying Confucianism, but I didn't know that Confucianism also has the knowledge of catering to Shangyi. Since you are trying so hard to figure out the temper of the Holy One, why don't you?" Are you willing to respectfully call out your Majesty?"

When he said this, he was ready for Yun Lan to be angry, who knew that Yun Lan was not angry, but just paused, and suddenly laughed.

She was born extremely beautiful, and this smile should make people fall in love, but Rong Hao only felt that this smile was extremely sad, like all the flowers had fallen, leaving only a snowy field.

"It is said that Mr. Rong is well-informed and well-informed. Does Mr. Rong know that 20 years ago, there was also a loyal minister like Li Daoyong through the ages. The governor was wrong. For the Yellow River breach, a memorial was written to pain Chen Shengshang For several years, in order to balance the factions in the DPRK and China, the Ministry of Industry used the Jiangnan faction, but the local officials used the Shanxi faction, so the officials blamed each other and harmed millions of people along the coast. How can there be such smart people in the world? Guessing the Holy Majesty's weighing technique just by using just a few words, he is really the number one scholar, besides him, who in this world can directly poke the Holy Majesty's weakness?"

Rong Hao's face was pale, he was young, but he also vaguely recalled such a shocking accident back then, and asked: "Then what happened after that?"

"Later, the Holy Majesty naturally forgave him magnanimously, and this book was spread to the outside world, and it was also praised by scholars, who praised him higher than the sky. The Holy Majesty also changed the plan for harnessing the river, and everyone was happy." Yun Lan played carelessly. Started wicker: "This person is also interesting. Although he has been a hairpin tassel for generations, he lives in poverty and does not make friends with others, so he has nothing to catch. After waiting for seven or eight years, one day, one of this person's most valued His disciple passed away early, leaving orphans and widows, and no rice to cook. So he sent 1000 taels of silver to him on a rainy night. You also know that an academician of the Imperial Academy only costs [-] taels of silver a month. Where did so much money come from? After further investigation, it turned out that he had sold a set of books bestowed by Emperor Taizong, and said that he had burned them. , was only dispatched to Yunnan and became a small official, but that year the palace wanted to build a hall and asked for wood. This man refused to exhaust the tree-cutting folks. He owed three hundred or two hundred. He was punished for several crimes. The eldest son was dispatched to the frontier and died of exhaustion within two years, and all the wives and daughters were recruited into the teaching workshop, even the infants were no exception."

Her tone was flat, like a running account, but Rong Hao was shocked by every sentence.

Yun Lan raised her eyes, seeing how frightened he was, she laughed.

"Do you know what happened to this man?"

"How?" Rong Hao heard that his voice was about to tremble.

"He was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison. For some reason, he ransacked his home, but the case was dragged on for two years. His leg was broken the day he entered the Imperial Prison. There was no medicine in the prison. , and dirty, so the meat on the legs is rotten, and according to the jailer, it fell off in pieces when touched. Just like this, he was still writing a plea in prison, biting his finger and writing all over the wall Blood, I’ve seen it too, it’s really every word, a beautiful article..."

Her voice was calm, but there were crystal tears in her eyes, which filled up and slid down.Rong Hao usually regarded himself as a flirtatious son, and he didn't know how many tears he had seen, but at this moment, he didn't know what to do. He was frightened and pity at the same time, and when he wanted to comfort her, he saw her stretch out her hand, Very calmly wiped away the tears, and even forced a laugh.

"Rong Hao, have you ever seen a house raided?" she asked.

Rong Hao shook his head.

"I've seen it." Her eyes seemed to be looking at the fluttering willow branches, and she seemed to be looking at a place far away: "Any home worth copying has some family background. It's either a scholarly family, or a hairpin tassel from generation to generation. It is noble, and the more exciting it is when it is copied, so ordinary house raids cannot be called house raids, it has to be of a very noble family status. No matter what kind of prince you are, no matter what you are Mrs. Huizhi and Mrs. Lanxin, men are slaves, The women are prostitutes and are incorporated into the Jiaofang Division. All the elegance and decency are trampled into the mud, which is not worth mentioning. I have seen 61 volumes of Zhaoming Anthology burned, and I promise you will not talk about Confucianism with me again."

Rong Hao vaguely guessed, but he didn't dare to answer.

Yun Lan glanced at him and smiled.

"That's right, you are the youngest son of King Ningxi, and you have seen the emperor's kindness. Rong Hao, let me tell you a secret, okay?"

She came closer, as if she wanted to tell a secret, she whispered:

"The last time Xiaoyan talked to me, I almost blurted out. I want to say, Xiaoyan, you are right to worry about Your Highness. Because the person sitting on the dragon chair is a monster through and through, cruel and mean. Well, moody. He was not born like this, it was the fault of this chair, this chair was full of thorns, and the thorns bound him and grew into his flesh, making him sleepless day and night, insisting on tearing Only a few people are willing to break it. When people are crazy, even their own sons will swallow it."

It was said that Li Daoyong was presumptuous, but what she said was a million times more presumptuous than Li Daoyong's. Even Rong Hao, who had always been a promiscuous character, was stunned in place.

She just laughed.

"Rong Hao, I usually treat you badly, right?"

"But last time he was a little fierce, but he is usually very kind."

"Do you know why I attacked you last time?" Yun Lan looked at him, "I can't see someone like you. If you say you are smart, you are extremely smart, but you don't take this power struggle seriously at all. How dare you Talk about power and strategy, but have no awe of power. Ao Ji has seen the horror of power, so he has done a good job, you really should go see the house copying."

Rong Hao finally understood why she wanted to talk about this incident with him today, and for this reason she did not hesitate to open her own old scars.Grateful in my heart, I couldn't help but calm down, bowed to her, and said, "Thank you very much, I understand."

Yun Lan was not very relieved.

"You really understand?"

"I really understand."

"What about Li Daoyong?"

Rong Hao thought for a while, and his face suddenly turned pale.

It wasn't the first day he knew about the coldness of the Holy Majesty, it was just that before it was just a game of power, but today Yun Lan insisted on tearing off the gorgeous mask in the palace and showing him the bloody side underneath.In his heyday, the Holy Lord also balanced the factional disputes between the court and China, so he was extremely ruthless towards civil servants. If according to Yun Lan's story, the Holy Lord was so cruel to the courtiers who poked his own weakness, then the East Palace has now arrested Li Daoyong. How much torture can satisfy the Holy One.

When he first heard Yun Lan's words, he only felt extremely cold in his heart, but now that the cold has reached a certain level, he doesn't feel it anymore, as if the dust has settled, he even laughed.

"It's said that robbers join a gang and they need to vote for a vote." He looked at Yun Lan and said, "It seems that you also want me to vote for this vote today."

"You are ten times smarter than me, but you are limited by your mind, so you can't see Mount Tai. As long as you are ruthless, there is no situation in this world that you cannot break."

She has never praised him so much. It stands to reason that Rong Hao should be happy, but he just feels ashamed in his heart. He grew up from a small pile of brocades, and he is smart and noble. There is still endless prosperity in this world waiting for him to enjoy and chant, but tonight, she breaks through the barriers, and I feel that the world is a layer of gray.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Yan Junyu, and with a thought, he said inexplicably: "If Xiaoyan was here, I would definitely not be able to understand it."

Yun Lan also smiled.

Apparently she also thought of Yan Junyu's usual gluttonous and foolish appearance, so a smile came to her eyes.

"Xiaoyan understands," she corrected him: "He just doesn't want to believe it, let alone follow suit."

It's not like Rong Hao didn't have doubts, why the one from Sihongtang chose Yan Junyu, she wasn't extremely beautiful, nor was she extremely smart, although she was loved, she wasn't the kind who would considerately invite pets.At this moment, I suddenly understood that there was a special temperament in him, those gluttony, foolishness, playfulness, and even getting angry and blowing hair, all seemed to be truly engraved on him, and no one could erase it.Even if Yun Lan's words wash away, when the world turns gray, he will be the only bright color.

I was only exposed overnight, so I was so discouraged.Na Sihongtang, who was born in this power field, grew up in this power field, and was in the center of the power vortex as soon as he landed, what is his world like?

Perhaps it was because the expression on Rong Hao's face was too puzzled, Yun Lan couldn't help asking: "The matter about Li Daoyong..."

"I have a measure." Seeing that she didn't believe her, Rong Hao said calmly: "I listen to Li Daoyong's team tonight, and everything is fine, except that the piano is a bit short."

Yun Lan's expression froze, and when she came back to her senses, she didn't know whether to be relieved or fearful.

There are hundreds of kinds of people in this world, and those who can sink their hearts into reading to this extent have already taken power lightly.And those who are obsessed with power can't read the reputation of being good at writing in the East Palace.Those who have both are the same as the one in Sihongtang, they are people who play chess like chess.

This is a regret she made up for herself, and it is also a monster she released herself.

But she is used to being the right-hand man, and has always been with the king like a tiger, so she didn't say much, but said softly: "It's late at night, Mr. Rong, go back."

"it is good."

When they were talking in the garden, Yan Junyu was lying in the inner room of Sihong Hall, sleeping on all fours, and could only put his legs on the crown prince.

He didn't hear the conversation.

He would not know that the person next to him had never lied to him, just as he called Emperor Qingde's harsh methods of disposing of those directly admonishing civil servants as "the most important thing to save face". In his words with a smile.
