All your life is gentle

In Luanzhangyuan Palace.

Zhao Ju's face was full of seriousness: "Li Fang, I have a copy of Yushitai here, do you want to read it?" He asked "Would you like to read it", and already signaled An Chen to take it to Zi Shi with his hand.

As a relatively independent procuratorial organ, Yushitai has always enjoyed many privileges.In addition to hearsay and deeds, another power is direct access.In other words, the officials of Yushitai can deliver the memorial directly to the imperial court without going through the secretary department. (In the past, Yushitai still had the right to investigate and collect evidence from the impeached officials, but now most of these things are undertaken by Li Fangsi)

Unfortunately, it was useless for him to catch up with a superb emperor like Zhao Ju, and it was useless to send the memorial to the imperial court. In a blink of an eye, he packed it up and sent it to the secretary province, asking his uncle to read it.Of course, Zhao Ju is not an idiot after all, knowing that he can't hand over everything, so he will ask the chief servant to lead the servants to sift through the palm prints first.This is why An Chen's position is so important and irreplaceable.

Zi Shi took the memorial and saw the small characters on the first line "Xi Yuanhuai Kneeling at Yushitai Right Admonishing Senior Official" and the title on the second line "Impeaching Zhongyibo, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, serving as a lecturer at the Zichen Palace and Li Mianshu, the order of Lantai ".Holding it in both hands, he returned it to An Chen.

Zhao Ju asked, "You don't want to know what he wrote?"

Zi Shi smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, there's no need. Mr. Xi has visited our house several times in person, and taught the deceased wife and father face to face. He scolded so heartily that I felt ashamed. Probably he felt that The humble official was willing to be depraved and hopelessly depraved, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply took the humble official down, so as not to be ashamed and humiliate his family, and moreover, to slander the emperor, which would be indecent..."

Zhao Ju laughed loudly: "Really?" Imagine, the more he felt overjoyed, "Didn't Xi Dayu find out that he played the piano to the cow?"

"The humble minister respects the lord as a father and brother."

"You just said "good, good, yes, yes" face to face, and when he turned around, it became a deaf ear?" Zhao Ju asked with a smile.

Zi Shi bent down: "Your Majesty is wise."

Not only Zhao Ju, An Chen, Fu Chuqing and other servants standing there couldn't help snickering.

Zhao Ju smiled and sighed: "Oh, Li Mian, I still can't believe it. How could you be Li Yancheng's son? How could Li Yancheng have such an interesting son like you?"

Zi Shi tilted his head and thought about it: "Or——things must be reversed at extremes?"

"If your father is as interesting as you, why did he just work as a tutor for a few months... Ah, let's not talk about this," Zhao Ju changed his mouth, shaking the memorial in his hand, "Xi Dayu's note, I want to keep it." If you don’t, he can come and stop you from morning to night every day——Li Fang, I heard that the city of Xijing is full of gossips about you recently. He loves you wholeheartedly, no wonder he loves you deeply and takes responsibility..."

Although the intelligence network of the Lifang Division is in the hands of Ning Kui, it will still report to Zhao Ju on a regular basis.The version of the report depends entirely on the emperor's personal preferences.Originally, Lan Tailing's gossip inevitably involved Lord Long Live and the immediate superior of the intelligence collector, but after being screened by reporters, finally Lan Tailing's gossip was left alone.

Seeing the emperor mentioning the so-called "rumors and gossip", Zi Shi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the wind suddenly picked up and wrinkled a pool of spring water. If you don't say anything about peaches and plums, you will make your own way. There is nothing you can do about it. Why do you care about it? Let it go." go."

Zhao Ju stomped his feet and thumped the table: "Li Fang, believe it or not, I must tell Xi Dayan what you said, haha——I'm sure he vomited blood on the spot!" Seeing that Zishi was silent, he said again , "I will definitely suppress this letter for you. However, although the matter is not difficult, it is quite troublesome - how do you plan to repay me?"

Zi Shi straightened his face immediately, and bowed to the end: "Your Majesty has bestowed the title, fame, clothing, food and salary of my ministers. I'm afraid I can't do my best and do my duty—how dare I say the word "repay"?"

Zhao Ju clapped his palms and sighed with a smile: "Listen, what a clever mouth." He nodded at An Chen.The latter took a picture album from the gold-painted and inlaid vermilion lacquer bookshelf against the wall, and put it on the desk.

Zi Shi was taken aback when he saw the words "Four Seasons Splendid Flower Cong Yan Li" on the cover page.

Zhao Ju turned to the first page: "This is a good thing. Stories, poems, painting skills, and calligraphy are all excellent and complement each other——Li Mian, when I saw the poem you wrote today, I felt it The handwriting is very familiar. Thinking about it later, it is exactly the same as the poem on this painting! As the saying goes, writing is like a person, and cursive is especially revealing of personality..."

Zi Shi Yigulu knelt down and kowtowed, making a gesture of panic: "Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch to see every detail. I used to have no food and clothing. I was forced to make a living, so I had no choice but to sell writing..."

For a moment, I felt great hatred in my heart.At the beginning, Yin Fuwen promised to print verses with movable type, but he secretly engraved the manuscript.Later, when I met him a few times, I always felt that he was a bit awkward. I thought that Boss Yin would not be able to adapt to his sudden title and promotion.It wasn't until Fu Chuqing recognized the handwriting and questioned it that he realized that it was because of this guilty conscience...Today he was absent-minded and forgot that Yuqian always wrote in regular script. I have to blame myself...

Then I heard Zhao Ju yelling: "It really is you! Haha... that's great! I wanted to ask Fu Wentang to make a sequel, but they said they couldn't find anyone. It turned out that they couldn't find anyone, or they didn't dare to look for it. "I am overjoyed, "how is it? You continue to make this "A Beautiful Calendar of Flowers" for me, and I will tell Xi Dayao to shut up—"

Zi Shi shook his head and said sternly, "Your Majesty, it is better to guard against the mouths of the people than against Sichuan. Refusing to remonstrate and slander will lead to congestion and deception..."

"Okay, okay, I knew you wouldn't agree easily..." Zhao Ju turned to look at Fu Chuqing and asked him for help.

Mr. Fu thought for a moment, then he caught a glimpse of Mr. An wearing a pendant with a square hole in the pattern of ingots hanging on his waist, and gestured to the emperor.

Zhao Ju had a flash of inspiration and was overjoyed: "Didn't you say last time that you want me to transfer money from the House of Internal Affairs to the Lantai Division to rebuild the basement and use it exclusively for storing rare and rare books? As long as you are willing to continue this "Flowers in Flowers" for me." Keep doing it, and just report the money.”

Zi Shi raised his eyes: "You are not joking—"

At the beginning, the library of Lantai Division was very simple, and it should have been repaired and expanded long ago. It also required a lot of money to collect all kinds of books scattered among the people.In this day and age, the Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't even think about money, so Zi Shi turned his idea to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.No matter when, the emperor's own pockets are bulging, and it is most appropriate to spend some money on cultural rescue projects.

Zhao Ju waved his hand: "Just tell me the number."

"Since it's a fund for brushing, Your Majesty, I want to be paid by the page, 1000 taels of silver for a picture album. This is only for me. Other rewards for bookstore painters are not included..."

The eyeballs of several audience members fell to the ground.Zhao Ju pouted his tongue: "You, you, you...you really dare to ask for it..."

"Your Majesty, my ministers are asking for prices all over the world, and your majesty can pay back the money. Although the asking price is high, it also depends on whether the goods are worth it. Painters and engravers are just ordinary craftsmen. Your Majesty wants to express artistic conception and high-end products, but they all fall on Wei Of course, His Majesty has the final say on whether it’s worth it or not. Even if His Majesty doesn’t give you any money, and an imperial decree comes down, how dare the humble minister dare to cut corners?..." Zi Shi thought to himself, in the emperor’s mind, the erotic palace Paintings are much rarer than silver, the reason why I bargain with myself is just for fun.

Sure enough, Zhao Ju paused and said, "Using the imperial decree—what's the point of that? If you want money, I'll give you the money."

The monarch and his ministers fought back and forth, and finally settled the deal at 980 taels of silver per page.

At dusk, Zi Shi was released by Zhao Ju.Fu Chuqing arranged for the security work of the palace and sent him back to the mansion in person.This day, I struggled to fight wits and strength with others, and I felt exhausted.Out of the palace gate, I inadvertently raised my eyes and looked into the distance: the flat forest is deserted in the twilight, the mist is like weaving, the east wind is steep, and the cold mountains are cold and green.Sadness, longing, sorrow, resentment... All kinds of emotions come back with the long stamina of a pot of "Cross Spring", take two steps, and shake your body.

Fu Chuqing took the feather satin cloak from Li Wen's hand, wrapped him up, and got into the carriage in her arms.The car was surrounded by the most loyal servants of Uncle Zhongyi's mansion and the most reliable subordinates of the inner guard, all of them looked as usual, as if they hadn't seen anything.Li Zhang handed in the insulated food box with both hands, and carefully placed it on the low table: "It's the seven-child Poria cocos soup. The second young master went back and said that the eldest young master hardly ate anything, and broke his fast and drank alcohol. The young lady specially sent someone to bring it over. "

In the hearts of the two of them, Mr. Fu entered and left the mansion grandly, the young master did not say anything, and of course the people below him were not qualified to say anything.Although the young master has recovered from his illness, his energy is obviously not as good as before.No matter who he is, he should be served by one more person.

After the carriage started, Fu Chuqing held the cup in the food box in her hand: "Drink a little."

Zi Shi shook his head.

"Drink it yourself or do you want me to feed it? Huh?"

Zi Shi glanced at him, propped himself up, and took two sips from his hand.

"Hehe..." Fu Chuqing was elated by his stare, "I will never be obedient." Seeing him frowning and pushing away the bowl, she said helplessly, "Then drink later." Lowering her arms, let him Lying flat, complaining in a low voice: "You don't allow me to talk about writing poems, but I have been holding back. Why did I become confused? It made me so embarrassed..."

Zi Shi stared blankly at the roof of the car, but didn't speak.

Fu Chuqing stopped talking.After a while, he asked: "I seem to be very unhappy today, not only because of the photo album - the guy named Zhang annoys you, right?"

Zi Shi turned his face away and ignored him.My mind was groggy, and I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The carriage drove directly into the gate of the Zhongzhai, and the twins were waiting in the front yard.Seeing Fu Chuqing coming down with her elder brother in her arms, and saying "Fall asleep" in a low voice, the two of them were relieved, one turned right, the other turned left, and left without saying a word.

Fu Chuqing went straight into the bedroom and put her on the bed.I thought that the emperor was staying overnight in the palace, and I, the inspector of the inner guard, had to go back and watch, should I go now or accompany him... When I lowered my head, the person in front of me moved slightly, turned around, and closed my eyes. His eyes were closed, his face seemed to be both sad and smiling, and he didn't know what dream he was having.

At this moment, he was extremely defenseless.Fu Chuqing suddenly wanted to kiss him.Of course, there wasn't a day when he didn't want to hug him and kiss him.But today this feels a little different.What is the difference? Obviously Mr. Fu still doesn't quite understand.Before he even decided whether to think about it or not, he had already slowly bent down with a loving gesture that he didn't know.

"Hmm..." With a lingering moan, two arms were wrapped around the neck.Fu Chuqing was so pleasantly surprised that she shivered from the inside out.Hold up his head and look carefully, there is a narrow bay under the drooping eyelids, it is foggy - he hasn't woken up yet.Even more gentle and careful, he unbuttoned his undershirt button by button.In the past, I thought it was too slow, but tonight I was a little bit reluctant to go too fast.It seems that if the speed is too fast, something precious will be missed instead.Unexpectedly, the person under him became impatient, murmured and rubbed against her, a blush dyed from her cheeks to her chest—so charming, this time it was Fu Chuqing's turn to think that she was dreaming...

Unfortunately, even the most beautiful dreams have their end.When Mrs. Fu, who was contented, saw the person on the bed sleeping soundly and contentedly, looked at him, not guarding against a shock, and suddenly came to his senses: This is... he treats me as someone else...

It's not that he doesn't know that he has someone in mind.I haven't forgotten that there was a sneak attack boy in the Bodhi Temple back then.After asking around a few times, the three brothers and sisters didn't pay any attention to it.Send people to investigate whether he has any lovers in Xijing City, but after checking, they are all ghosts in the wind.Slowly put this worry down.Without comparison, there is no awareness of the difference.His unexpected enthusiasm tonight brought him unprecedented happiness.As soon as he thought about where this happiness came from, emptiness and jealousy suddenly occupied his whole body and mind.

I wanted to pounce on him on the spot and start over again, telling him to recognize himself well and never dream about others again.Just as she was about to bite her lips that were still blooming, she suddenly noticed a glistening wet mark on her face, clearly the light of undried tears.

I was dazed for a while, as if a late autumn night rain was pouring down on my head, chilling my heart.Who is he... dreaming of?Who did you take me for again?If it wasn't for tonight, I really don't know, he is still so reluctant to this day - he is obviously unwilling to die, but he is desperately enduring it, and would rather be so cruel to make life difficult for himself...

After much deliberation, Fu Chuqing couldn't think of a good way.It's not difficult to ask people to blame and frame people, fabricate false accusations, make people cling to them, and torture them into tricks... It's not difficult.Only this one is willing to empathize with others, but he doesn't know what to do.When he was about to leave, he touched his sleepy white and flushed face, and said bitterly: "You don't want me to think about others—so what? Anyway, it's you who fell into my hands, not someone else, so you just Admit it..."

In two days it will be Qingming, and the three brothers and sisters must go to the southern suburbs to worship the "Martyr's Shrine".Originally, according to the arrangement of the housekeeper Mrs. Han and the head of the guard Zhang, people were going to be sent to seal the road and clear the venue early in the morning.Zi Zhou and Zi Gui were unanimously opposed to disturbing the people, not to mention that ordinary scholars and common people might spontaneously go to pay homage to loyal souls on Qingming Day, so we should not be rude to the sincerity of the living.As for Zi Shi—no one would ask him about these things.

When the three brothers and sisters left, the whole house was busy.This was a rare official trip for the three of them. The carriages, horses, guards of honor, and servants and maids were all equipped according to the proper rules, without any sloppiness.However, compared with the completion of the martyr's shrine on the eve of the winter solstice last year, the ostentation was far worse than that of offering sacrifices to the emperor.

The people in the capital are very conscious. When they saw the umbrella-covered flags from a distance, and saw that the central seat was not a sedan chair, but someone riding a horse, they immediately recognized "Princess Yining" Fengjia.Behind it was a golden fan and silver gun, and colorful flags, followed closely by the Marquis and Earl's guard of honor. Needless to say, they were the two elder brothers of the princess: Marquis Xiangwu and Uncle Zhongyi.There are three brothers and sisters in this family, and the political honor is exactly the opposite of the age ranking, which is also a good story.

Many people followed the team to join in the fun, and unknowingly followed out of the city.Those who came first came later, talking and inquiring about each other, and stretching their necks on tiptoes to see the appearance of the princess.As a result, more and more followers gathered, and a team of 200 people grew into thousands of people.

Someone with sharp eyes saw Zigui and Zizhou on horseback clearly, danced with excitement, and hurriedly boasted to the people around them.

Some people talk a lot: "Cut! You haven't seen the one in the car. Mr. Uncle Zhongyi, the princess brother, has a face like powder, lips like red, eyes like morning stars, and nose hanging like a gallbladder - like the princess and the Marquis of Xiangwu. Standing together, it is simply Guanshiyin Bodhisattva paired with a golden boy and a jade girl..."

Someone objected: "It's so evil, have you seen it?"

The person who was asked was confident: "I haven't seen it! I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. My cousin is the housekeeper of Mr. Zhang, the secretary's deputy prime minister! What the old man said, can there be a lie? Think about it, this If this lord hadn't really been born so well, would Long Live Lord miss him every day?..."

"Hush—" someone gestured.

This person was still unsatisfied, and continued to show off: "Hey, I heard that Uncle Zhongyi wrote a good poem at the banquet in the third palace in March last year. It was peaches, apricots, and spring breeze. Li, he was the Lantai Ling of the Imperial Academy, so he spread the nickname "Tao Li Chunfeng Lantai Ling", tsk tsk... just because of this poem, he won the joy of Longyan, and the Lord Lantai Ling stayed that night... ..."

At this time, two people suddenly appeared next to him, one hit the speaker on the neck from behind, immediately fainted, and stretched out his hand to hold him.The other showed his tooth card on his waist, and said coldly: "The Lifang Division handles the case, and idlers are not allowed to interfere." The onlookers were all silent.The two dragged the fainted one, turned around and exited the crowd, and quickly disappeared.

The procession marched outside the Martyrs' Shrine. To show their respect, the guard of honor stopped fifty feet away, and the princess and others walked over.Today is considered a family sacrifice, Zi Shi walked in front as the eldest son, Zi Zhou and Zi Gui were tied behind.All three of them were wearing plain clothes without hats, and their expressions were dignified.Li Wen, Li Zhang and others followed in with incense and candles as sacrifices. The ceremonial officer guarding the ancestral hall greeted them with bells and chimes, and then instructed the priests to burn incense and light candles, offer food and table, and kneel down to pray.

At the same time, the servants who stayed outside the ancestral hall set up several cases of incense sticks, and the onlookers took them by themselves.Anyone who is willing to worship, either bows or bows, or kneels and kowtows, and the people in Li's mansion return their salutes one by one to express their thanks.Inside and outside the entire ancestral hall, incense sticks linger around, and the sound of prayers is endless, which makes people feel moved and awe-inspiring.

After the sacrificial ceremony was over, the three brothers and sisters stood up.Zigui stood in front of the memorial tablet, and couldn't help crying again.

Zi Shi looked up at the white marble tablet embedded behind the memorial tablet, on which was engraved with an inscription written by Mr. Chen Mengjue and Chen Ge himself.The last few lines are: "... before the body can be buried in the green mountains, the soul can eventually return to its homeland; life can be killed but not humiliated, death can not be humiliated; only a loyal soul can be worshipped, and guard the home and country for protection..." I sighed again in my heart. sigh.If a loyal soul is enough to protect the country and the people, then Jinxia should really last forever.Say "let's go" and walk straight to the door.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside.Li Wendao: "I'll go and have a look." After saying that, he quickly walked out the door.Not long after, he came in to report: "Young Master, Miss, someone insisted on entering the ancestral hall to worship, but was stopped by Chief Zhang and the others, and started to fight. It's Lian Jiazi, it seems a bit tricky, but the beating wasn't too hard, probably It will take a while to find out." A veteran servant like Li Wen in the mansion has been with Zi Shi brothers and sisters for a long time, and his cultivation and knowledge are flourishing, and his few words are tepid, very calm.

Hearing what he said, the three brothers and sisters walked out of the ancestral hall as usual.From a distance, I saw the guards surrounding the three people, fighting lively as you come and go.After walking a few steps forward, Zigui exclaimed, "Brother, Zizhou! That's... the Second Hero Hua! And Brother Luo! The other... I guess it's Hua Ziluo!"

Until they followed the three brothers and sisters back to the mansion and sat down in the small side hall, the servants all retreated, Hua Youxin, Luo Miao, and Hua Ziluo were still a little confused about the situation.

"Son...His Royal Highness..." Hua Youxin didn't know how to speak.

"Second Uncle Hua, I'm Zigui." Zigui smiled.

Hua Youxin looked at the three people opposite him one by one, and wiped the virtual cold sweat from his forehead: "Zi Shi, Zi Zhou, and Zi Gui, it's really you! You... have become the princes and princesses of what? But it’s unbelievable…”

Zi Shi continued: "It's a long story, so I'll tell Erxia slowly. It's Erxia Hua, why did you three come to Xijing?" Although he didn't know the actual situation in Chuzhou, the Xirong Army Having reached Xiabei Pass, one can imagine the situation of the rebels.It was really unexpected that Hua Youxin and others appeared here at this time.The identities of these three are subtle, and today they are all spies from the Lifang Division, so they must be on guard as soon as possible.

Hua Youxin regained his composure, and sighed: "Oh, we came to Xijing after all the hardships this time, and we actually wanted to see Uncle Guo. Who knew that we were shut down several times, and the concierge didn't even give a notification. Unexpectedly, it attracted the attention of the guards of the Hou Mansion, and almost suffered a dark loss. I was really discouraged. I thought about going back and forget it. I heard people say that the "Martyr's Shrine" in the southern suburbs was for the sacrifice of the former Tongcheng battle. He is the great hero of the city, and it happened to be in time for the Ching Ming Festival, so he planned to worship before leaving. Only when he got there did he know that there was a princess, a marquis, and an earl offering sacrifices today, and he was not allowed to go in. By the way, I would like to know which princess and lord it is..."

—— After making inquiries, it was said that it was the most chivalrous and bold Princess Yining, the son of the mighty general Xiangwuhou, and the son of Li Ge who had a spiritual tablet in the ancestral hall Zhong Yibo, and the three of them began to brainstorm.

"After we thought about it, since Zhongliang is in the ancestral hall, he might be able to listen to us talk about the whole story. Maybe things will turn around? That's why we deliberately broke in... Originally, it was just a fluke, but I also thought about it The worst outcome - I never expected, hey, after this Zhongliang, it will be the three of you!" Hua Youxin blinked, "I just don't know, do the princess and the lord still remember the old friendship? ?”

Zi Shi thought to himself: The old Jianghu is the old Jianghu, Hua Erxia didn't mention the situation when his brother and sister left without saying goodbye, as if there was no such thing.

Just listen to Zi Zhou said: "Second Hero, don't say that. In the past, we brothers and sisters lived in Huafu, and the hero Er Hero and all the brothers and sisters treated us like our own family. This kindness is always engraved in my heart, how could I forget it? "

Hua Ziluo interrupted suddenly: "But you, you, left without saying anything..." Hua Ziluo was a year older than the twins, actually only half a year apart.Before the arrival of the twins, apart from his strict father, loving mother and other elders, the family consisted of much older brothers and sisters of the same clan, so the Li family brothers and sisters left without saying goodbye, which hit him hard.Especially the lovely little sister Zigui, it took a long time to put it behind her.

Zi Gui apologized on behalf of his elder brother: "I'm sorry, at that time, we had no other choice..."

"No, it's okay..." Hua Ziluo glanced at her, blushed, and even stuttered.

Hua Youxin nodded: "Since you have such identities, it is only natural that you wholeheartedly join the imperial court. How can you hang out with us rough people."

Zi Shi brought the topic back: "Why did the second hero ask to see Uncle Guo?"

Hua Youxin sighed again: "That's right. Ever since the black barbarian captured Fenglan Pass and was determined to go to Sichuan to seize Xijing, the border of Chuzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. Leader Xu discussed with everyone, and felt that if he didn't seize the opportunity Action is the same as sitting and waiting for death. Although robbing food roads, burning food and grass, and assassinating the leader of the black man, although he has been risking his life, he always feels weak and weak. It turns out that the black man is outside Fenglan Pass, and the place is steep and narrow. We can't move, and we didn't think about contacting the gatekeepers and cooperating inside and outside..."

It turns out that the Xirong Army captured Fenglan Pass in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year and officially entered the territory of Shuzhou.In addition to attacking Xiabei Pass frantically, the troops were divided into several groups and spread out in a fan shape, trying to occupy the eastern towns of Shuzhou.

"We followed the black barbarians and slowly entered Shuzhou. We were lucky enough to get to know the local mountain people. Only then did we know that the black barbarians had never been able to take advantage of them! A large number of officers and soldiers guarded Xiabei Pass, Not to mention, the black barbarians are trying to occupy the area of ​​Eastern Shu. Most of those villages and towns are hidden in the mountain depressions, surrounded by ditches and ridges, and the poisonous insects, snakes, flowers and plants in the forest are hard to guard against-even the locals may be caught if they are not careful, not to mention Mindless black barbarian soldiers? The local fellows took advantage of the right time and place, made them miserable, took one step forward and two steps back, and within half a year, they didn't occupy a decent place!

"Master Xu said, we will work together with them. If we can cooperate with the officers and soldiers at the gate—of course, it would be even better if we can get support in terms of weapons and manpower—maybe we can drive the black barbarians out of Shuzhou and drive them out. It's not impossible to go out of the south of the Yangtze River and rush back to my hometown!" Hua Youxin became excited, his face was flushed and his eyes were shining.

Luo Miao snorted softly: "Second Uncle, don't forget what kind of anger we received at Xiabei Pass! The officers and soldiers of the court are never reliable, and we have to rely on ourselves!" His appearance has not changed a lot, but his temperament is fierce and calm. The youthful and honest black-faced boy has grown into a tall and straight man.This was the first time he had spoken since the reunion. When he saw the Zishi brothers and sisters before, he just nodded with a sullen face, completely opposite to Hua Ziluo's surprise.

Hua Youxin's expression turned dark all of a sudden: "Zi Shi, Zi Zhou, Zi Gui, what Sanshui said is why we are in Xijing. Leader Xu sent me to lead Sanshui and Ziluo, and follow the fellow villagers in the east of Shu After crossing mountains and ridges, we finally descended from the ancient plank road of Tianmen Gorge to Xiabei Pass, and asked to see General Liang Yonghui, the general who guarded the pass, but was almost arrested as a spy. We took out tokens and spent a lot of time before being received by General Liang. After explaining our purpose, He didn't say anything, but just told us to wait, which lasted for several days. When we tried to find him again, we found out that he was under house arrest—after all, he still didn't believe us. In a fit of anger, he simply slipped out Go straight to Xijing..."

After listening to Hua Youxin's words, the twins looked at their eldest brother.The Xiabei gatekeeper will regard them as spies, representing the mainstream views and inertial thinking of the people in the court.What should I do about this matter?

Zi Shi said to Zi Zhou, "Go and ask Chief Zhang to come over."

Not long after, Zhang Chengjun, the head of the guards in the mansion, came in, and Zi Shi waved his hand to tell him not to rush to salute: "See when your Master Fu is free, please come over to discuss something."
