I see the snow

Lin Kun brought Xihuai and Yinzhichuan into his study, which is next to the hall of Yushitai.

It used to be a tea room, but it was abandoned later.Lin Kun does not deal with official business in the same hall as other censors. Although this cubicle is simple, it is quiet and no miscellaneous people touch his files.

As soon as Xi Huai entered, he saw several concentric knots, small porcelain rabbits, hand-made clay figurines, etc. on the table, and an incense burner.

Unknown incense is lit in the censer, which is cool and pungent, making people feel refreshed when they smell it, and white smoke curls up from it.

There are many case files on the table, which are almost half the height of a person.

Xi Huai felt that Lin Kun sat over and probably couldn't see him from outside.

"Go and make two cups of Pingchen tea."

Lin Kun roughly tidied up the room, cleared out two places where people could sit, and ordered the little servant to say.

However, this small cubicle is too dilapidated. Even though Lin Kun has tried his best to pile up piles of files, the area that can be vacated is still really limited.

"... just sit down."

Lin Kun probably also felt that it was too shabby to treat guests like this, so he paused and said, "When I send the completed case file back next month, there will be more room."

It doesn't matter to Yinzhichuan, he only comes to this place once every 800 years, and he doesn't care if there is nothing left for the next month.

On the contrary, Xi Huai paused, noticing that Lin Kun seemed to be looking at him all the time when he said this, thought for a while, and replied a simple and polite "Although it is a shabby room, its owner is Dexin".

Then, Lin Kun smiled very lightly, and turned his gaze elsewhere.

Yin Zhichuan frowned and looked at the sympathy knots, little porcelain rabbits and other things on Lin Kun's table, and didn't pay attention to the movements of Xihuai and Lin Kun.I just wondered in my heart:

I didn't expect Lin Kun to like to play with gadgets at such a young age.

It's all for playing, and it's still on the table, occupying such a small piece of land, isn't he too crowded?

"Major general, son, please."

After a while, the servants brought up the Pingchen tea and placed them respectfully in front of Yinzhichuan and Xihuai respectively.

Yinzhichuan said politely: "Master Lin, I never expected that I will be able to drink tea with you one day."

Lin Kun replied: "Then please finish your drink quickly and go."

"I have to go, but I'm afraid it won't be soon."

Grinning, Yin Zhichuan took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve, and said, "I wonder if you have heard about the sinking of the Goddess River that came in."

Lin Kun has been busy with the affairs of Guanshan County since the problem of the relief bank.

I have heard a little bit about Shennvhe, but I don't know it very well.

Yin Zhichuan briefly explained what had happened, and then told him about Qin Tianjian's imminent move towards Guanxing Pavilion.

"Qin Tianjian has long been dissatisfied with Chu Yuan."

After listening, Lin Kun frowned, and said: "In the past, there were people who complained every month, saying that it was wrong for Chu Yuan to stay in Jinghua Palace as the abandoned star attendant of the late emperor. But they never caught him. His Majesty couldn't hear any excuses, and blocked it all by himself. This time, the stone statue of the Goddess River cracked and sank so coincidentally, it just happened to give them a chance to attack the young pavilion master."

"Whether it 'just happened' I don't know."

Yinzhichuan said: "But if they drive Chu Yuan out of the capital of the stars as they wish, there will be no one around the new emperor in the future. Chu Yuan can be called a national scholar, and one divination can determine the world. It is said that he calculated a The hexagram image can save the army from losing 10 people. If such a person leaves Shen Yan, the government and the public will soon be dominated by aristocratic families. Like the first emperor, the king has become a puppet of the powerful. Such a scene, I am afraid That's what you don't want to see, right?"

After a pause, Lin Kun pursed his lips slightly, raised his eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Chu Yuan wants to abolish the Qin Tianjian."

Yinzhichuan said: "You help him stabilize the Yushitai."

As soon as the words came out, Lin Kun's eyelids twitched slightly.

He had already expected that Yinzhichuan would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so it must not be an easy task to find him this time.

...But I didn't expect to hear such words as "abolish the heavenly prison"!

"Abolish the Heavenly Supervisor?"

He couldn't believe it and asked: "How is this possible...? Sheng Yang has set up the Qin Tianjian since the founding of the country, and even the Guanxing Pavilion itself was separated from the Qin Tianjian!"

"Of course I know."

Yinzhichuan said slowly, "Otherwise, how could you hold Yushitai steady?"

Yushitai is the mouthpiece of the imperial court. Once there is any major change, Yushitai must be the first to stand up against it.

If Lin Kun can stabilize Yushitai, he will be half successful in pulling out Qin Tianjian.

The matter of abolishing secret arts is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but when Jie Shi proposed it, he would inevitably receive great criticism.

First of all, the powerful families who colluded with Qin Tianjian would naturally not agree; second, even the common people who benefited the most may not necessarily accept Chu Yuan's affection.

——For example, it's like there is a villain who beats you every day and takes things from your house.At first you may hate him, but if you have been robbed by him for decades, even in your lifetime, no one has ever told you that it is wrong, you don't have to be so bullied... Gradually, you Maybe you will feel that being robbed is a matter of course, and you will feel uncomfortable if you are not beaten.

They even make up reasons for the villains, convincing themselves that they rob you for your own good, to make you work harder...

When one day a person stands up to prevent the villains from robbing you again, you will still feel that this person has affected your relationship with the villains.It's nosy.

This may sound unbelievable, but in fact, it can be seen everywhere in life.

The existence of Qin Tianjian is one of them.

"Jie Shi Chu Yuan played, the impeachment will be overwhelming, you have to stand up for him."

Yin Zhichuan said.

"...I'll think about it."

However, for a long time, Lin Kun whispered.

"Thinking about what?"

Yin Zhichuan asked, rather surprised: "The conscience of Yushitai, do you still have any hesitation about abolishing Qin Tianjian?"

Lin Kun shook his head: "During the march, if someone is hit by a sharp arrow and is seriously injured and dying, it is not the best choice to immediately pull out the arrow for him."

"...Sometimes, the same principle applies to governing the country..."

Xi Huai sat at the side, listening to their conversation, without saying a word.

It wasn't until Lin Kun said that "governing the country and rescuing the dying is the same principle", did he show a slightly surprised expression.

"I want to enter the palace to face the saint."

After sitting for a while, several people looked at each other silently.Lin Kun finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty cannot abolish the Qin Tianjian."

Yinzhichuan naturally didn't stop him, so Lin Kun went there.

Only after Lin Kun left, Xi Huai suddenly smiled and said, "Although Mr. Lin is upright and honest, he is not stupid."

"Oh?"

Yin Zhichuan asked, "How did you see that?"

"It can be seen from the fact that he hates Qin Tianjian, but is willing to persuade His Majesty not to abolish Qin Tianjian."

Xi Huai said lightly: "He is not a foolish person like my father. After all, he is a son of a family..."

He knows the world, but he doesn't want to be the world.

The bell rang twice, and it was You o'clock, and the censors who were idle in the hall came out sparsely, ready to go home for dinner.

Yin Zhichuan also asked: "Shall we go back? The small kitchen said to make custard and steamed rice today, so eat it while it's hot."

Xi Huai nodded, and walked side by side with Yinzhichuan on the street of Huizhen Guogong Mansion.

It's just that Yinzhichuan has always been a little clingy to Xihuai ever since he did that with Xihuai.As long as the two were together, his hands were always dishonest.I always want to touch here and rub there.

Xi Huai only heard from the sisters in the brothel that a woman will never forget the first man she sleeps with.

It has nothing to do with the loss of virginity, it's just an unexplainable souvenir.

But I didn't expect Yinzhichuan to be like this, a person who is too flirtatious, he has slept with Xi Huai, and it seems that Xi Huai has taken away his body and mind in one go.

"It's the same as Lin Kun's, here."

A while later, when passing by a bridge, Yinzhichuan suddenly stopped and looked down at a cloth stall on the street.

The peddler stands at the end of the bridge, holding a wooden pole in his hand, and the pole is covered with small gadgets such as small porcelain rabbits, clay figurine monkeys, and hand-woven puppets.

Seeing Yinzhichuan stop, the merchant hurriedly said, "My lord, do you want to see some small gifts for your sweetheart?"

Yinzhichuan was just looking at it casually, but he didn't expect the vendor to say "the one he loves".

Immediately, the corners of his lips curved into a smile, and he said, "Yes, let's take a look and send it to my sweetheart."

He said so, but his eyes couldn't help but glance towards Xi Huai.

"Our little porcelain rabbit, concentric knot, are the best!"

The peddler smiled all over his face, and hurriedly handed the puppet braided rope on the wooden pole to Yinzhichuan so that he could see it more clearly.At the same time, he said: "Even the military master of the forbidden army bought it from us!"

"Forbidden Army?"

Yinzhichuan froze while holding the clay figurine, and asked doubtfully, "In Jinghua Palace?"

"Yeah yeah."

The peddler said: "It's that Li... Li Dutong! Every time you pass by Tianxiayiqiao on inspection tours, you have to buy one from me and take it home."

Yin Zhichuan immediately knew where the gadgets on Lin Kun's desk came from.

"...Then give this thing out, will people like it?"

Yin Zhichuan lowered his head, coughed, and pretended to ask casually.

Xi Huai fully understood his little thoughts, but he didn't bother to deal with it, he just pretended that he didn't understand, and stood there calmly.

"Forget it, my sweetheart doesn't like it, so I won't buy it."

Yinzhichuan was a little disappointed, put down the clay figurine, and wanted to leave.

"Hey……!"

The peddler was eager to keep him, but Yin Zhichuan didn't look like an ordinary person in terms of his attire, probably he was a noble master similar to Li Dutong from the Habayashi Army.

"Young master, why don't you persuade your friend."

Seeing that Yinzhichuan didn't buy it, the peddler hurriedly turned to Xihuai, asking for help: "Our porcelain dolls and clay figurines are the most exquisite in the entire Hoshino City, and the price is also fair! Five copper coins each, may I ask where else I can find them?" Such a good deal?"

Xi Huai smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and randomly picked up a porcelain puppet.

"This little dog is exquisitely made."

He said casually: "It's just right to take it back and play with Little Tomato."

Little Tomato is the raccoon kitten they picked up earlier.

Because the first day he went back, he picked up tomatoes from the small kitchen and ate them secretly, and there was a group of strange patterns on his head, so Xi Huai named him Little Tomato.

Yin Zhichuan said: "If you want to play with Little Tomato, then buy it yourself."

"This kitty is doing well, too."

Xi Huai said again: "It looks so stupid, why don't you buy it too."

As he said that, he took out his money bag, took ten Wen and put it in the hands of the peddler, and bought a pair of porcelain cats and dogs.

Yin Zhichuan sneered and didn't want to talk to him.

But Xi Huai turned around and brought the kitten porcelain puppet he just bought in front of Yinzhichuan, saying: "Here."

Yinzhichuan: "..."

"No?"

Xi Huai asked lightly: "Don't want me to take it away."

"want."

The Seventh Young Master Yin immediately said without principle: "Who said I don't want it anymore."

But when he stretched his hand halfway, Yin Zhichuan suddenly remembered what Xi Huai said when he bought it, "Look so stupid", and his fingers stopped in the air.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Xi Huai didn't pay attention, and just handed the little porcelain puppet to Yin Zhichuan as if he had completed a task, and said casually, "Let's go."

Looking at the porcelain puppet in his palm, Yin Zhichuan felt a little happy, but not so happy.

Because he vaguely felt that Xihuai's mood for giving him this little porcelain was different from his mood of wanting to give Xihuai's little porcelain doll.

One of them is apprehensive and cautious about temptations; the other is free-spirited and careless.

Xi Huai's words to him, "Are you satisfied now?", are as reluctant and helpless as trying to appease a vexatious child.

Yinzhichuan suddenly realized that in Xihuai's world, he dreamed of setting up camp; but in Xihuai's world, he might just come and leave whenever he wanted.

There has never been an equal relationship between them.

Even if he is the high-ranking Major General of the Duke of Zhen, Xihuai is no more than a lowly young man who goes to Yunlou.

But in this relationship, Xi Huai is the one who remains calm and looks up to him.
