Xu Chang raised his sleeves, knelt down on the mat calmly, looked at Liu Ling, who was getting more and more colorful, and asked with a half-smile: "But there is one thing I don't know. The Lord Liu Ling has always been thinking about Huainan King. A few days ago, before the princes met, I can still vividly remember Weng Lord's tricks. Why did Weng Lord reverse the gun in the blink of an eye?"

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Although Liu Ling is a woman, she also wants to be a hero who understands current affairs!" Liu Ling raised his hand and drank the wine in his glass, and then said casually: "Don't you think so? Is it?"

Xu Chang hooked the corners of his mouth playfully, and smoothed the folds at the corners of his clothes by the way. "The old minister has been loyal to the big man all his life, so he naturally wants to start well and end well. It's just that this matter is always... the empress dowager..."

Hearing Xu Chang's vague words, Liu Ling ridiculed Xu Chang's idea of ​​wanting to be a bitch and also want to build a chastity archway.On the face, he persuaded him more and more calmly: "This is something we can't do anything about. The Empress Dowager is now over seventy years old, and His Majesty will be 17 years old after his birthday in July. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about you The family should think about it."

"Of course!" Xu Chang quickly drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.He patted the table and said: "Besides, His Majesty is loyal to the big man, and I am also loyal to the big man."

"Bai Zhihou knows righteousness, Liu Ling respects you." Liu Ling said, leaning over to give Xu Chang a glass of wine.Xu Chang looked at the half-covered chest in front of him, his eyes were in a daze.

Sensing the fiery gaze on his chest, Liu Ling felt tired.But he got up and sat beside Xu Chang.Slowly approaching Xu Chang, he said, "It's just that Bai Zhihou's actions today are unavoidably a little urgent. How will Bai Zhihou explain to the Empress Dowager?"

"Is Lord Weng worried about the old man?" Xu Chang leaned on Liu Ling's round shoulder and said with his head bowed.

"That's right! So Bai Zhihou, please don't let people worry about you!" Liu Ling said, carelessly put his slender hand on Xu Chang's thigh, and pressed his moist lips to Xu Chang's ear and whispered softly. Said: "I heard that Zhuang Qingzhai is the most loyal to the Empress Dowager, because this matter will offend His Majesty to the death. You said that if he knows your gesture of showing favor to Your Majesty, what will he do?" ?”

Xu Chang's heart trembled when he heard the words.That's exactly what he's worried about.Now Zhuang Qingzhai has fallen into the predicament of fighting to the death, if he knew that he would have found a way out early.Under the mania, it is inevitable to do some things that harm others and benefit oneself...

"Don't worry, my lord, I have already thought about it in my heart. When I saw the empress dowager, I said that in order to prevent those sour scholars from urging your majesty to tamper with the court program, I have to take some matters into my hands, let alone Zhou Yafu." The empress dowager won't say much. As for Zhuang Qingzhai, he is already half useless, and now the empress dowager can't take care of herself, and she doesn't have much time for him." Xu Chang said, A pair of dim old eyes casually looked at Liu Ling, and smiled slightly. "However, the old man guesses that Zhuang Qingzhai never dreamed that His Royal Highness Weng Lord would turn against him. Now he puts his only hope on His Highness King Huainan!"

"This is called the world is unpredictable!" Liu Ling sighed insincerely. "Zhuang Qingzhai has come to this point, not only his position in the court is in jeopardy, but even his family, who would have thought?"

"That's why the sage said that those who know current affairs are heroes!" Xu Chang said, reaching out to pick up the wine bottle on the table and raising it to Liu Ling, and said with a relaxed attitude: "Respect to us two heroes!"

Liu Ling also took advantage of the opportunity to cover it with his sleeves, drank the wine in his glass, and continued to flatter: "Bai Zhihou is really careful at every step, and he has a rough heart. I'm afraid he has already thought about how to deal with the empress dowager?"

"That's natural. After all, the Empress Dowager dominates the three dynasties, who dares to despise her!" Xu Chang said with a smug smile.Immediately, he frowned uncomfortably. "You said that I have shown my favor to His Majesty now, and if His Majesty is free in the future, do I still have to depose all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism?"

"How is this possible? Your Majesty is just using Confucianism as a target tool. If you don't believe me, think carefully, the people around Your Majesty who really rely on trust, except for the former prime minister Wei Wan, whether it is Zhou Yafu, Han Yan, or Zhou Mingjin, which one is sincere?" Xiang Confucian people?"

Xu Chang nodded thoughtfully, and said, "That's true."

"So, His Majesty is realistic! He will use whoever has the power to rule him. This is obvious. Of course, Bai Zhihou doesn't need to worry." Liu Lingjiao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord, for your suggestion. Otherwise, the old man will hug the old tree of the Empress Dowager and go to the west of the mountain together." Xu Chang said, showing a meaningful smile, and his eyes became more and more scorching. Fan Liuling.

Liu Ling looked at the sky unconsciously, and said with a coquettish smile, "It's getting late, I'm afraid Mrs. Bai Zhihou is already waiting?"

Xu Chang's face froze. He was most afraid of the tigress in their family, and he was afraid of the reputation of the family. No one in Chang'an knew the famous and respectable people.

Liu Ling stood up and walked to the door, leaned slightly, and said to Xu Chang: "To avoid suspicion, I ask Bai Zhihou to go first, and Liu Ling will go out later!"

Xu Chang smiled embarrassingly, stood up and said, "It's still His Highness Weng Lord who is thoughtful."

"...Bah! Shameless bastard!" After Xu Chang left, Liu Ling snorted coldly with disdain, stretched out his hand and swept the utensils on the table to the ground.He raised his voice and said, "Come here!"

"I have met Lord Weng!" A servant immediately opened the door and bowed in response.

"Clean this private room thoroughly, and replace all the decorations for me. Of course you know what to say, right?" Liu Ling said with a frosty face.

"No!" The boy nodded in response.

"En!" Liu Ling nodded, and said, "I'm going to Xiaohan Mansion right now, you give me the things I collected last time."

The young servant walked out without making a sound, and after a while, he handed something like an account book to Liu Ling.

"Go down!" Liu Ling opened the account book, looked at the records inside, and nodded in satisfaction.

Xiaohan Mansion——

Han Yan, who had just finished serving Han Tuidang and was about to go to bed, raised her eyebrows in surprise when Han Zhong reported Liu Ling's visit.Looking up at the stars all over the sky, he said to himself, "It's so late, what is she doing here?"

"Does the Young Master want to see her?" Han Zhong asked respectfully.However, he didn't have a good impression of Liu Ling as a woman, so he naturally hoped that his son would be less involved with Liu Ling, so as not to ruin his reputation.

"Forget it, since she came at this time, she naturally has something to say, you tell the servants, lead Mrs. Liu Ling to the main hall to entertain him well, and I will go there right away."

Because it was too late, Han Yan had already changed into more comfortable clothes.Now that Liu Ling is here, he has to switch back to show respect.

"Promise!" Han Zhong agreed irrefutably, bowed and stepped back.

After hurriedly changing her clothes, Han Yan walked into the main hall calmly, while Liu Ling was quietly standing aside, looking at the newly changed bonsai.Hearing Han Yan's footsteps, he turned his head and smiled and said, "This little thing is so interesting, it actually looks like real mountains and rivers."

"It's just a play object. If the Lord likes it, you can take two pots back to play with when you leave later." Han Yan waved her hand casually and promised.

"Everyone says Mr. Ah Yan is generous and spends a lot of money. I have seen it today. From now on, I will have to come here often! Anyway, I will never lose money." Liu Ling covered his sleeves and smiled.

"To each other." Han Yan also hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and agreed.

Liu Ling didn't exchange many pleasantries, and took out the account book from his sleeve and handed it to Han Yan, saying, "Mr. Ah Yan, can you see if I am sincere enough?"

Han Yan raised her hand to take the account book, and opened it to read page by page.After a while, he closed the account book calmly and said, "Huainan is really rich, otherwise how could His Royal Highness the King of Huainan be so generous?"

"It's just being polite to others, so there must be something to ask for!" Liu Ling straightened his clothes, and said suddenly: "It also records the ten thousand taels of gold and the thousand hectares of fertile land that were given to Wu Qianghou at the beginning, and there are countless beautiful maidservants. You said that an official in Beijing accepted gifts from so many foreign vassal kings..."

Liu Ling smiled and said no more.

Han Yan glanced at Liu Ling and said meaningfully: "You are really smart."

"It's easy to say!" Liu Ling slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and said calmly.Although her demeanor is graceful, it always makes people feel that she is in a trance.

"Master Liu Ling, if you..." Seeing Liu Ling's appearance, Han Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said suddenly: "If you feel sorry, you can get out of Huainan King's affairs and take charge of other vassal kings. "

After all, the two are biological father and daughter, so it would be too cruel to let them fight each other.Han Yan doesn't have such a strong taste.

"There's no need for that." Liu Ling shook his head and said calmly, "I treat them as a father and brother, but they may not treat me as a daughter and sister. If not, they wouldn't have treated me like this back then."

Han Yan sighed sadly, not knowing how to comfort her.

Liu Ling immediately came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and smiled, his face brightened. "You don't need to test me. Don't worry, I will definitely push them into the fire pit with my own hands."

"That's not what I meant!" Han Yan shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, don't worry about what you mean. I have already written the names of officials who have accepted bribes from the father, who have an ambiguous attitude, and even completely turned to the father in this account book. As for how you and Liu Che will deal with it, That's your own business. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first." Liu Ling said, not allowing Han Yan to speak, got up and walked out gracefully.

Looking at Liu Ling's handsome back, Han Yan tapped the ledger with her hands.

Some people, the more plain they are on the surface, the more hurt they are in their hearts, and the deeper their hatred.Han Yan didn't know what happened to Liu Ling and King Huainan in history.But from what he heard and saw after traveling, Liu Ling always appeared in front of him as a tragic character.The greatest pain in the world is the hurt and betrayal of relatives. Liu Ling, a girl who has just reached the age of [-], has endured it twice in a row.No wonder she insisted on helping him and Liu Che deal with King Huainan.I am afraid that apart from planning for the future, I still want to vent my hatred more!

Such Liu Ling made Han Yan take advantage of it very unpleasantly.

However, before he had time to sigh too much, a piece of news hit him like a bolt from the blue, and he was dumbfounded——
