Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

treasonous heart

Yan Xi rubbed his aching brain, and explained: "The young man fainted in front of Weichen's house, I can't help Weichen, right?"

Lin Rongchen still didn't speak.

Yan Xi thought about it carefully, "What else?"

Lin Rongchen's face sank like water, and he still looked at him coldly.

Yan Xi went back to yesterday, and seemed to have found the crux of the problem, "Yesterday, Aunt Yu invited Wei Chen to go, saying that she would like to thank Wei Chen for taking care of Master Yu... After all, the elders opened their mouths, and Wei Chen is not good. Reject..."

Lin Rongchen narrowed his eyes, "You can't just ignore death, it's hard to refuse... but you can disobey the holy order?"

Yan Xi was at a loss, when did he disobey the holy order? "My humble minister is stupid, I don't know what the emperor's holy order is?"

Lin Rongchen gave him a few sharp eyes, "I want to listen to history books, what are you doing now?"

Yan Xi was immediately discouraged, and simply threw the book on the table, smashed the jar and said, "That's right, Yunlin asked me to eat to match his sister and me, but I have already refused, so that's okay? "

Lin Rongchen finally raised his eyelids to show surprise. "Oh? How did you refuse?"

Yan Xi said unhappily: "The emperor wants to bestow a marriage for the humble minister, how can the humble minister have the right to choose?"

Lin Rongchen raised his thin lips, but his brows were all twitching, and he said happily, "It's good that you know."

Yan Xi: "..."

Is this what an emperor should do?Is this something an emperor should manage?Yan Xi was angry from the heart, and the words were swallowed, "The emperor is the king of a country, and he cares about the people of the world and the people of the Li people. I can't be selfish and try to share the emperor's concern?" You I'm a person who does big things, can you stop thinking about me?

"You mean - you are not my people?"

"..." Yan Xi was desperate, gave up arguing, and looked at the roof very speechlessly, but at this time the palace servants reported that Princess Diqiu was coming.He raised the hem of his clothes like he could not wait to say: "Wei Chen will leave first!" As soon as he turned around, Di Qiu threw himself into his arms with tears in his eyes, "Brother Yan!"

"..." Yan Xi originally wanted to push her out, but seeing her crying pitifully, she couldn't bear it, "What's wrong with the princess?"

Di Qiu cried hoarsely for a while, with tears still hanging on his cheeks, and said: "You know it clearly." As soon as the words fell, the tears fell again, sobbing for a long time, "Why do you think I am not good enough for Gu Tingzhi... Why doesn't he want me?"

Yan Xi comforted: "There are many good men in this world, why should the princess be sad for him? It's not worth it."

"There are many good men, but there is only one Gu Tingzhi!" Di Qiu is a person who admits death, "Brother Yan, why doesn't he like me?"

Seeing her pear blossoms with tears and a hundred times of grievances, Yan Xi's heart softened, he forgot the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and just regarded her as a younger sister, reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, and said softly: "Princess, there is such a story in the Buddhist scriptures: Once upon a time, there was a scholar whose fiancée married another man, which made the scholar overwhelmed with pain and depressed day by day.

"One day, he met a master who gave him a mirror. In the mirror, a naked female corpse lay on the blue sea. At this time, three men passed by. The first one stopped Looking at the female corpse, he shook his head and left. The second man took off his clothes and covered the female corpse, shook his head and left. Only the last man buried the female corpse and made her rest in the ground.

"The master told the scholar that the dead woman was his fiancée's previous life. And he was the one who took off his clothes and covered her body. The love between his fiancée and him was just to repay the gift of clothes from his previous life, and she will eventually repay Yes, she is going to marry the person who buried her in the previous life. Princess, let me say something disrespectful. If you also suffered the same bad luck in your previous life, Gu Tingzhi will be the first person to pass by. You have to look for, wait for, and spend your whole life with. It's not him. Princess Bingxue is smart and definitely knows what to do."

Di Qiu was stunned, thought carefully, and nodded with tears in his eyes: "Brother Yan...I understand what you mean."

"Just understand, don't let the person waiting for you wait too long, and don't give your sincerity to someone who is not worth it." Yan Xi straightened her messy hair, and from the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Rongchen looking at herself , The eyes are so bright that people are at a loss.He hesitated to say something, but Lin Rongchen smiled at him unexpectedly.This smile made Yan Xi find a reason, and she couldn't wait to back off.

Back home at night, I received a letter from Liang Yanwen.In the letter, there was some concern and inquiry, and a few words were attached at the end:

Recently, I heard that the Holy Majesty is busy with government affairs, and has headaches and insomnia. My brother can present the prescription to the imperial court, so as to share the worries of the Holy Majesty and fulfill the duty of a courtier.

Yan Xi dug into the envelope again, and took out a prescription.

When my grandfather was alive, he couldn't sleep all night and suffered from headaches.My good friend Liu Guchun happened to meet a folk genius doctor in the southwest, and he got a blind pill, which cured his grandfather's chronic illness.The prescription was brought by Liang Yanwen.

Headache and insomnia?Why hadn't he heard of it?Perhaps Liang Yanwen heard this news from the magistrate.These officials are usually negligent in government affairs, and they are very good at flattering.

The next day at court, Yan Xi was thinking of giving Fangzi to Lin Rongchen, but as soon as he reached the gate of the Hall of Peace, he heard the sound of crackling and smashing things inside, and then roared like a bell, "Bastard! How can this be reasonable! This Fu Zhuo is getting bolder and bolder! He interferes with my decisions everywhere, he thinks he holds the military power in his hands, and I can only let him handle it?"

Yan Xi was stunned, and pulled Eunuch Zhou, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Zhou shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. Xiang and Mr. Chang are inside. Mr. Yan, why don't you go in later?"

"Forget it, it's not a big deal for me!" Just kidding, how could he go in at this time?He handed the prescription to Eunuch Zhou, "I heard that the emperor has not been sleeping well recently. This prescription was used by my grandfather and it is very effective. Eunuch can give the imperial doctor a try." After speaking, like Eunuch Zhou, he rolled up his sleeves, He left step by step.

From this side, Xiang Jiayan asked someone to clean up the debris, so as not to accidentally injure the dragon's body, and then winked at He Shuyue.He Shuyue immediately screened back and closed the door.

"Your Majesty, I got a secret report last night that Fu Zhuo is secretly recruiting troops. This is plotting a rebellion!" After receiving the secret report last night, Xiang Jiayan stayed up all night.

Lin Rongchen supported his forehead, misfortunes never come singly, one bad thing after another.That day, he privately mentioned Cao Jingren as a salt transport envoy, and this conspiracy gradually surfaced again.

He Shuyue said: "In my opinion, the most urgent thing to do is to find out where Fu Zhuo's money for recruiting troops and horses came from? This is not a small amount. If he can cut off this way and draw his salary from the bottom of the pot, he may not be able to make any trouble for the time being. "

"Leave this matter to you to investigate secretly! Thoroughly investigate all his henchmen in the court, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormality!" Lin Rongchen sneered, "Before the Queen Mother's birthday, select a group of beautiful women to enter the palace, and release the news. Let’s just say that I want to be a queen. Don’t the privy envoys, who participate in politics, including Huang Jingchun, all have daughters who have not left the cabinet? I want to see if this Huang Jingchun is willing to be the head of the country in peace and stability, and sit on an equal footing with Fu Zhuo, or is he willing to take risks? Fight him?"

"Does it need to be said?" Xiang Jiayan said, "As long as he is not old-fashioned, he will know how to choose. Even if he is against Fu Zhuo, the best result is just the same position. Can Fu Zhuo give him a better one?" ?”

There is a reason for Lin Rongchen's reluctance to expand the harem. This move is really a last resort, so he is in a very bad mood these days.Before going to bed, Eunuch Zhou would bring him a bowl of decoction, which was very effective, and he could fall asleep peacefully within the time of a cup of tea.After receiving the decoction today, he said, "This time the prescription is really effective, and tomorrow there will be rewards from the Imperial Hospital!"

Eunuch Zhou laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the people you should reward the most are not the imperial physicians."

Lin Rongchen looked sideways and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by that?"

"The prescription was sent by Master Yan a few days ago. After careful study, the imperial physicians thought it was a wonderful prescription, so they used it for the emperor. The emperor's spirit has really improved these days than before."

"Yan Xi... When did he send it? How do I not know?" This kind of thing doesn't take credit, unlike his approach.

Duke Zhou said: "That's the day when Master Xiang and Master He came."

Lin Rongchen remained silent.After a while, he ordered, "Send him."

"Yes!" Eunuch Zhou stepped back with a smile.

After half a stick of incense, people came, Lin Rongchen put down the copybook in his hand, and said, "Can you sing?"

"Huh?" Yan Xi couldn't believe it.The majestic emperor actually wants to listen to a little song!What is the system? "Yes, yes, but... the emperor is not feeling well?"

Lin Rongchen rubbed his temples and said tiredly, "Why?"

Yan Xi was very embarrassed, "This kind of thing... is really difficult to be elegant." If you hadn't lost your head, would you be listening to such obscene sounds in the hall?

Lin Rongchen frowned, "Why do you care so much, sing and listen to it, and relieve my fatigue."

All right.Yan Xi closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and said, "I recognize Qin Xin and agree with each other, and I have two belts with Xi Yinan. I remember the painting hall with a slanting moon and a hazy smile, and she smiled helplessly. Then the emerald screen opened, and the hibiscus curtain hid it. , and stealing Xiangluo..."

"Shut up! You're singing something messy!" Lin Rongchen could only feel a rush of anger and blood in his heart, "Good Yan Xi, how dare you sing such obscene songs in front of me!"

"..." Yan Xi wanted to cry but had no tears, "Didn't your majesty tell me to sing?"

Lin Rongchen gritted his teeth, "I asked you to sing Yuefu poems, you... Where do you say you learned these things? It's so insulting to be so elegant!"

"Aren't these the so-called little songs among the people? Those talented scholars in Suzhou only like to listen to this..." Yan Xi argued, "I learned from them."

Lin Rongchen hid his face in grief, "Has the folk customs of Yunchu become so corrupt now?"

"This...not." Yan Xi forcefully explained, "Women don't listen to this."

"..." Lin Rongchen had black lines all over his head, if the woman also listened, would it be okay? "From my point of view, you are the one who is black when you are close to ink, so you think all crows in the world are equally black."

Yan Xi was very wronged, why did he do such a thankless thing? "The emperor wants to listen to the music, shouldn't he look for the Yuefu order?" No one can find the right one, so blame him?

"Forget it, forget it." Lin Rongchen closed his eyes and waved his hands, "Get out, get out, get out."

Meals come and go like the wind.After leaving the palace gate, Yan Xi grabbed Eunuch Zhou, "Is the emperor so angry recently?"

Duke Zhou said: "The current situation in the court is turbulent, with wolves in front and tigers in the back. It is not easy for the emperor to sit on the dragon chair. I hope Lord Yan will be considerate. Don't worry about it. In fact, the emperor loves Lord Yan very much, but he has been troubled by state affairs recently, so it is inevitable that he will be on the throne." Huo. Compared with before, it is already much better, and this is thanks to the prescription sent by the lord last time. The emperor is very pleased to know this. The lord must come often to relieve the emperor when he has nothing to do. "

"Definitely." If so, he wouldn't argue with Lin Rongchen anymore.It's just... what does that special favorite mean?

The author has something to say: The story of the Buddhist scriptures came from Baidu, and the source is ominous. It is estimated that most people have heard this story.
