Brother Donggong

The chief of rites was as quiet as a tomb.

Everyone inside and out was kneeling, only I was sitting on the chair in front of the desk, with a thick peppermint ointment on my nose, and there was a little eunuch on the other side of the bookcase, his ears were bad, and he didn’t seem to hear What happened, he just knelt on the floor, holding a large rag in both hands, and wiped the already spotless floor back and forth.

When I saw Wen Zhan coming over, I thought it was not good to be so special. I have always been a modest and prudent person, and I don't like showing off, especially in front of Wen Zhan, so I stood up unsteadily.

Because my nose was stuffed with thick peppermint ointment, I could only make a grumbling sound, like a steamed and crushed potato, "Your Highness, you are here, sit here."

As I said that, I also used my sleeve to dust off the wooden chair I sat on.

Wen Zhan raised his eyebrows delicately, he looked at me, and then looked away.He looked sideways at the buttocks of the little eunuch who was wiping back and forth on the floor beside the bookcase not far away.That man was like a cheerful mouse, going back and forth, wiping the floor endlessly. He even wiped Wen Zhan's feet, circled around, and wiped happily past.

Wen Zhan looked at me again, as if I ordered that blunt floor mopping guy, God knows, that person has nothing to do with me at all.

The prince did not sit on the chair I wiped.

He walked slowly to the side, brought another chair over, and placed it in front of me, then lifted his robe, and sat down quietly.He didn't speak, just looked at me with his eyes, and asked me to sit back, and then he let Lv Zhi and the others get up.

Wen Zhan asked Lv Zhi, "What's wrong with asking me to come here in such a hurry?"

Sure enough, Lu Zhi bowed and stood aside, saying, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

Then, he went through the Kunlun Sect, Yin Wangchuan, and Beizhen Fusi's seven commanders in detail.

At the end, Lu Zhi said, "This time, we should investigate thoroughly, I am afraid that people who should not be involved will be involved, the capital is important, and the whole body will be affected by one hair, slaves dare not act recklessly, everything depends on His Highness's decision."

I secretly praised him in my heart, he is really a smart man!

Look at what he said, Mingli didn't seem to say anything, but in fact he said everything.

People who understand what he said, such as me, the prince, and the senior deputy commanders of Tiqi, these people can understand it with a click; Those who wiped the floor, and the disciples and grandchildren of the Supervisor of Rituals who were kneeling in the courtyard outside, it seemed that Lu Zhi didn't say anything.

It turned out that Lu Zhi brought Wen Zhan here.

That's right, no matter how powerful Lv Zhi is after such a big incident, he is only a fourth-rank eunuch. The commander of the Zhenfu Division was killed, and the third child, the prince and relatives like Cui, might be implicated. It was a bit difficult for him to fight such a big matter alone.

Now he threw this hot chestnut to Wen Zhan, and he felt relieved. No matter what Wen Zhan did or what the consequences would be, Lu Zhi could rest easy and relieve his burden.

At this time, my heart began to beat the snare drum again.

Wen Zhan and Cui Bicheng were enemies in the previous life, but enemies in this life!When they are free, the two of them fight like black-eyed chickens. This time, the Kunlun Sect is a serious crime to exterminate the nine tribes. Anyone who is stained with a little bit of scum will have a cramp. The matter of Tang Xiaoxie was revealed, so Wen Zhan had to strangle Old Cui to death?

and also……

The relationship between Mo Que and the third son Yulan taught by Kunlun is very close, and the fight between the prince and the third son is not a joyous fight, and it is really life and death!If the prince wants to follow this reason to crush the third child to death, he can use all his strength to implicate everything that can be implicated, even if he can't be implicated, he must be implicated even if he creates conditions. With five or six wings, it's hard to escape from birth.

Beizhen Fusi's hands and eyes are open to the sky, as long as they want to know, there is nothing in the whole world that can hide them.

I don't believe they can't even understand the cobweb-like and intricate relationship between Kunlun Sect, Mo Que, Lao San, Tang Xiaoxie, and Lao Cui.As long as the prince is willing and willing to set up a big prison, the city will be full of storms and Jinghua will be shaken in no time!

At this time, my heart was like fifteen buckets hanging, up and down. "

Who would have thought that Wen Zhan smiled and said, "The supervisor of ceremonies and Tiqi are directly under the emperor's father. Although Xiao Wang supervises the country, he is still a courtier after all. What he does on weekdays is nothing more than cooperating with the minister of ceremonies and supervising the prime minister's court affairs. As for father The kingdom's sharp weapon in the hands of the emperor, Xiao Wang cannot overstep it."

what! ?

The prince doesn't want to care?

I looked at Wen Zhan, his hair was damp, he seemed to have just taken a bath, as for why he took a bath, I knew it was because of that without even thinking about it.At this time, I have some regrets.You said, if I want to stagger in through the gate of Yuzheng Palace as usual, let Liu Congrong report, and then sit in the main hall and drink tea with Erlang legs crossed, then nothing will happen?

……

wrong!

I suddenly had another secret thought.

Usually, I avoid Wen Zhan, I don’t inquire about his affairs, and I don’t go to his territory. Later, even if I go to the East Palace, either Wen Zhan’s strict orders detain me, or I go through the gate. Go in dignifiedly.Sometimes, Liu Congrong asked me to wait slowly, and he went to report. At that time, Wen Zhan was discussing matters or reading memorials.

God knows whether he is working hard at the desk, or messing with his ears, or simply having sex with each other.

I suddenly shivered, and when I came back to my senses, I saw Wen Zhan looking at me.

His eyes are very special, as if they have been washed by the clearest water, so clean that there is no human emotion at all.

Like an expensive sharp knife.

Sure enough, I heard Wen Zhan say, "The Kunlun sect is just a few warriors who set up private incense halls. It's nothing to be afraid of. It's just that they are too rampant this time. Assassinating the commander of Tiqi is tantamount to treason. Such a thing should have been thoroughly Check, if it is really like what you said, find out who should not be involved... Then, there are clans inside, courtiers outside, and my Dazheng Huanghuang ancestral system,..."

He paused for a moment before saying, "There is no one who should not be implicated! Anyone who is found out will not be tolerated."

The prince's voice was like the nine tripods of Zhou Tianzi suddenly beating, the golden sound resonated, and after a while, everyone's knees softened and they knelt down on the ground.

The whole prison was as quiet as if there were no living people, only a group of pale undead.

I am honest.

When everyone was kneeling down in the dark, there seemed to be a thorn under my buttocks, which made me restless. I thought, should I also kneel in response to the occasion, so I leaned on the handle of the chair and When I got up, Wen Zhan suddenly reached out and pressed my knee.

His hands were as hot as a fire, and I could still feel the warmth of his palms through my robe and trousers.

It's hot, it's terribly hot.

"It's none of your business here, sit down."

"Eh, good."

I sat back down again.

For some reason, Wen Zhan was slightly amused.

The atmosphere calmed down, he asked Lv Zhi and the others to get up, and then said, "The soldiers are ominous, today is the day when the third son of the emperor, Yulan, Luanfeng, and Ming are very happy. Father has been burning incense and praying for blessings in the Xiyuan Red Sandalwood Sutra House. Such a day It is not suitable to play the tragedy of Beizhen Fusi. Green straight."

Lu Zhi hastily bowed again, "The servant is here."

Wen Zhan, "The supervisor of ceremonies wrote a detailed account of the whole matter, and submitted it to the Xiyuan Jingshe early tomorrow morning, and asked the emperor to preview it."

Everyone pushes this matter back and forth, and in the end, I still have to leave it to my father and let him worry about it.

When I came out of the Supervisor of Rituals, I said I was going to Xiyuan, but it was not for Beizhen Fusi’s affairs, but for the third son’s marriage. I wanted to ask my father whether I should go drinking or not. , should you bring gifts in the past?

Wen Zhan nodded and said, "I'll see you off."

I quickly waved my hand, "No, no, it's not far from here to Xiyuan, I know the way."

Wen Zhan looked at me, his eyes were still unfathomable, but much softer.

He said, "I'll take you off."

When the Lijian arrived at Xiyuan, he only had to bypass the Red Lotus Pond.Because it is midsummer, the thick branches and leaves of the red lotus in the lotus pond cover the entire pond, and the luxuriant flowers cover the sky and the sun.

Legend has it that this red lotus pond was the favorite of Prince Su hundreds of years ago.

He and Prince Su are legends in the history of Dazheng.

Legend has it that he possesses the wisdom of a god and the beauty of an evildoer.

According to legend, his eyes are like mottled mosses that have long since dried up in the wilderness, but there is a silver radiance flowing in them.

According to legend, his appearance has not faded for 20 years.

According to legend...he is a romantic seed who loves beauty but not country.

legend……

The story of him spread in the world is like an ancient myth, the lingering love between Queen Mother Xi and King Mu of Zhou; a big girl was pregnant for 40 years before Bao Si was born.

Every time I see these, I can't hold back my wild thoughts, as if none of the sages and kings before my three generations in China had any fathers, and they were all their mothers when they were still virgins, and they felt the wind, rain, thunder and lightning of heaven and man, and then it was as easy as eating a potato pregnant.

This is all out of the question!

In the annals of Dazheng, there is only one line for Crown Prince Hesu: Hongdao Chunren, Supreme Filial Piety, Crown Prince Taboo Hesu, the eldest son of Emperor Mijiang, born in the first year of Mijiang, and his mother left the family. In the twelfth lunar month of the 23rd year, the emperor died, and the Zen emperor was located in Yixuan, the fifth son of the emperor, and inherited the position of priest of Qishan Shrine.In the 22nd year of Emperor Yixuan's leap in July, he died.

I think, like my father, he has enjoyed enough of the wealth and prosperity in the world, so every day he dreams of cultivating the truth and becoming a fairy.But it's strange to say that the royal family 300 years before the founding of Dazheng seems to be all magic sticks, and a random person has some cultivation in the cultivation of immortals, and some can divination yin and yang, and set up battles to catch ghosts.

How strange and strange!

But 600 years after Dazheng, everything has changed.The royal family has gradually become ordinary people, neither gods nor evil spirits, but ordinary people with joys, sorrows, emotions, and six desires.

Up to now, except for my father's elm-like head who stubbornly believes that he will become a fairy, the rest of the people are obsessed with seizing the big position, such as the prince and Yulan, and there is another one, who is under me , I pat my stomach after eating all day long, no matter whether it will be flooded tomorrow!

"Chengyi, Chengyi?"

I was thinking wildly when I suddenly heard someone calling me. Once I regained my senses, Wen Zhan looked at me with a slight frown.

What's wrong with me?"

"I called you a few times just now, but you didn't hear me, what are you thinking?"

"Well,..." I thought for a while, I couldn't just perfunctory what he said, but I couldn't say what I was really thinking. For a moment, I thought about a very serious thing, but it was not so serious as to shake the world. I said, "It's about Lao Cui. Isn't my uncle that or something? Father doesn't want to disturb Yongjing at this time, so he suppresses the investigation. Lao Cui feels uncomfortable. He asked the old Liang in the cabinet to investigate carefully. Check, the result..."

This is by the pond, surrounded by red lotus flowers, grasses, fish and shrimps, everyone is waiting ten feet away, but I still unconsciously leaned into Wen Zhan's ear and whispered, "It seems that He Feng It is related to the Fusi of Tiqi South Town 20 years ago."

Wen Zhan responded lightly, "Oh."

"Oh? What does that mean?"

"Oh, that means I know."

I, "..., oh." Then, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said with emotion, "Actually, I am also very sad that my uncle had an accident. He is a good person. His incident reminds me The vernacular spoken by the people in Lingnan."

Wen Zhan listened quietly.

Me, "What did they say, killing and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses."

Wen Zhan didn't even have oh this time.

Turning around the Red Lotus Pond, in front of you is Xiyuan, which was built in the tenth year of Heyu King.

The Yongjing Xiyuan of Dazheng Palace is one of the most beautiful royal gardens, occupying almost half of the entire Dazheng Forbidden Palace, with a surrounding area of ​​more than 150 miles. The Xiyuan has a Taiye Pool with a depth of three feet and three feet, and the scenery is gorgeous.A peninsula protrudes from the Dongshan Mountain and goes straight into the Taiye Pond. It faces water on three sides, and the waves are bright and extinguished.There are 32 pavilions built on the island, with a delicate style, not as rigid and dignified as the Taisho Palace.It is said that when it was built that year, Zhang Xiang, the minister of the cabinet, personally wrote a banner, "The beauty of the mountains and rivers, the beauty of the structure, the best in the past and the present", and hung it on the Banana Pavilion at that time.

If you ask me, Zhang Shoufu is too crazy and too ignorant.

It is true that Xiyuan was built in the era of King Heyu. At that time, Xiyuan only built a few palaces and dug a large pond. But in the next 400 years, my father, my grandfather, my grandfather’s father, and I Grandpa's grandpa... They used the enthusiasm of beggars to eat braised pork to make great efforts to expand the palace from generation to generation.Not to mention anything else, just the red sandalwood scripture house that my father cultivated, and every pillar in the main hall is a rare treasure brought from Yungui Mountain, with a market price of [-] silver!

I saw the Red Sandalwood Sutra House in front of me, and I said to Wen Zhan, "Go back, this is it."

Wen Zhan nodded lightly, then lowered his head and kissed my forehead. I instinctively wanted to shrink my head, but I stopped it abruptly, stuck my neck, but lowered my head.

Wen Zhan suddenly said, "Chengyi, what happened?"

I gritted my molars and said firmly, "No."

I'm really afraid that he will continue to ask me, and I really don't know what to say then.Unexpectedly, he just stretched out his hand and pinned my hair behind my ear, and then said, "It's fine if I don't have it."

There were several knocking sounds on the jade urn from the Red Sandalwood Sutra House, and there seemed to be the bang bang sound of Li Fang helping my father knock the wooden fish.

I said, "Then I'm leaving."

"it is good."

I saw that he didn't seem to want to say anything, so he turned his head and walked away. Who wanted to go to the tenth step, Wen Zhan suddenly called me, "Chengyi."

I walked back and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Wen Zhan sighed, and then said, "Chengyi, I can't say much about many things, but about Cui Yan, you should let Cui Bicheng obey his father's wishes. It's for his own good. Nanzhen Fusi This matter involves a person, this person is Zhao Runan..."

Wen Zhan paused again, his eyes passed through me, looking at the Red Sandalwood Sutra House behind me.

"If his affairs are exposed, the emperor will not let him go, and the Pei family... will not let him go either."

"Chengyi, maybe I lied to you about many things, but this matter is related to the life and wealth of the Cui family, I will not lie to you. Since so many people died in their family, we can't let the rest continue to die. I'm not for Cui Bicheng, I'm for you."

I was taken aback, "The Pei family? What does this matter have to do with the Pei family?"

Wen Zhan stroked my cheek and said, "The more you know about these things, the worse it will be for you. Cheng Yi, Father doesn't like me because my mother's surname is Pei."

His eyes were so soft, so soft to the point of sadness.

I stammered, "What are you talking about? How could the emperor not like you? You are his only pride."

The prince smiled, but there was no sadness in his smile this time.

His smile was very dry, "I'm not his pride, I can't even be regarded as his son, just a prince born by him for the sake of the country, other than that, I'm nothing."

Then, he pressed a hot kiss on my forehead.

"Seung Yi, no matter what happens, please believe me, I love you."
