Qingjiang Yin

Yuan Che had been away for ten days, and when Li Zhenyuan returned to the mansion, feeling a little unhappy, he started drinking with himself.He also thought to himself that he should be restrained and reserved, but since he confessed his feelings to Yuan Che, he became more and more unable to restrain himself, and couldn't help but feel that he was pathetic and ridiculous.

The spring red is gone, but the backyard is only green and lush, which is also gratifying.

Li Zhenyuan was wearing a black robe, sitting alone, and there was no one around to serve him.Bored and drank wine, unconsciously downed dozens of glasses.

Han Shi came to look for him and saw that he was alone, so he sat down in front of him and called out, "Wen Yuan."

Li Zhenyuan raised his eyes to look at him, saw that he was a gentle and elegant young man, looked at him for a moment, barely discerned, and said: "Ziyin, it was you who came. Sit down quickly, and come with me."

Han Shi knew in his heart that he was very drunk. Li Zhenyuan had a good capacity for alcohol and was extremely restrained in drinking on weekdays, so no one knew how drunk he was.

He was drunk, neither noisy nor noisy, but drank more vigorously, one cup after another, as if he wanted to drink all the thoughts in his stomach.

"Wen Yuan, you drank too much." Han Shi reached out to snatch Li Zhenyuan's wine glass.

Li Zhenyuan did not let go. Han Shi is a literati, so his strength is naturally no match for him. Li Zhenyuan said slowly: "Ziyin, don't make trouble. If you want to drink, you can have a few drinks with me. If it is Fengyue, Wen Yuan is not interested. If it's business... then I have to ask you to go home."

Han Shi had no choice but to withdraw his hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, so I came to visit you. Alcohol is a good thing, but excessive is harmful to health."

Li Zhenyuan glanced at him, unable to guess why he came, paused for a moment, filled another glass for himself, and drank it.

Han Shi saw him ignoring him, thinking flashed in his eyes, and said to Li Zhenyuan: "Wen Yuan, I heard that you and His Highness the Fourteenth have been at odds recently, but that day..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhenyuan suddenly sneered, looked at Han Shi drunkenly, and said: "Ziyin, although I am drunk, I know that you are here to be a lobbyist. You have always boasted that you have a strong character, but now Why did you bow down to the powerful?"

Li Zhenyuan's words were quite blunt. Han Shi was also angry when he heard this, but he had always had a heart, and said: "It is the ambition of a gentleman to cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country and the world. How can we call it by bending the waist? Ziyin I don’t dare to compare with the sages, I only wish to serve the community with my talents and learning. Dasheng’s government is now corrupt and foreign enemies are invading, isn’t it the time for us to serve the country?”

Li Zhenyuan looked at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "Ziyin, you are right, serving the country with one's own body is indeed our top priority. It's just that the officialdom is dangerous, so we can't do it casually."

Han Shi knew that the intention to shake Li Zhenyuan was not at this moment, and separating him from Yuan Che was only the first step, but as long as he persevered, one day, this man who was about to control Dasheng's military power would be pried away by him.

at the same time.

Two hundred miles to the east of Chang'an, there is a mountain named Qingyang, and there is a temple on the mountain named Sanqing Temple.The owner of the temple is the well-known Xuanweizi. According to legend, he holds a fairy prescription, which can make the healthy people strengthen their muscles and bones, and the dying people return to life.

The vegetation on the mountain is verdant, and the winding path leads to seclusion.Inside the house, there is a cool breeze, and there is no sense of heat.

Yuan Che wore a white shirt, and only held a green wooden hairpin in a bun. He sat in the cloud room, sipped a sip of green tea, looked up at the person in front of him, and smiled leisurely: "I am here to invite the Taoist priest to come out of the mountain. help me."

Xuan Weizi frowned when he heard the words, with a look of hesitation on his face, he sighed and said, "It's not that he doesn't want to work for His Highness, it's just that the poor Daoist has been practicing here for more than 20 years, and he doesn't ask about the affairs of the world anymore..."

"The Taoist priest is here to avoid the world of mortals, but the world of mortals is not broken." Yuan Che still had a three-pointed smile on his face, but it made people feel a little chilled inexplicably: "The Taoist priest betrayed and became a prince first, do you remember?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong murderous aura filled the cloud room in an instant. If there was any substance, it would overwhelm people like a tide, and it would make people sweat, but it didn't come from the person in front of him who was smiling lightly. young people.It is clear that there are masters ambushing outside the room!

Xuanweizi's complexion changed drastically, not wanting his old affairs to be exposed for many years, he looked at Yuan Che in horror for a moment, his face was indeed very similar to that of the old man, he couldn't help but sighed.In order to save the lives of his entire clan, he leaked the whereabouts of the prince and his wife to Emperor Zhaosheng's minions, so that Prince Xiaocheng, who had lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years, was captured by Emperor Zhaosheng.

More than 20 years have passed, and this old debt finally came to him.

Xuanweizi knew that Yuan Che's mind would not change. If he didn't go down today, he might bring disaster to the Sanqing Temple, so he said: "I just ask Your Highness to protect me from the top to bottom of the Sanqing Temple. Pindao is willing to serve His Highness." The labor of a dog and a horse, even death is not regrettable."

Seeing him let go, Yuan Che said, "If the Taoist priest is willing to come out of the mountain, I will do my best to keep Sanqingguan prosperous."

Xuan Weizi got Yuan Che's promise, and he was worried that he only let go of three points, but he also knew that this disaster was inevitable: "I made a big mistake 20 years ago, and I knew that I would have to pay it back sooner or later. After it is done, I don't seek fame. Please let your highness go." I'm poor and go back to the mountains and forests."

"That's natural. I will send someone to recommend the Taoist priest to the King of Zhao. If the King Zhao wins you, he will ask His Majesty for credit. The Taoist priest only needs to abide by his duty and offer immortal medicine to the Holy Emperor, and the rest," he suddenly said. After a while, his eyes fell on Xuan Weizi's back, and turned from indifferent to sharp, as if a cold light flashed, "Don't worry about the Taoist priest."

So one month later, there was suddenly a Daoist priest named Xuanweizi in Zhao Wang's mansion. This man had excellent medical skills, and he cured several years of chronic illnesses of dignitaries.King Zhao was overjoyed and recommended him to Emperor Zhaosheng. Emperor Zhaosheng also heard about this Taoist priest and ordered him to enter the palace to recuperate the holy body for him. After a few days, his illness improved greatly, and Longxin was delighted.

It happened to be the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Emperor Zhaosheng had a grand banquet for all the officials, but the person sitting next to him was not the former concubine Zhong Guiyu, but the newly appointed Concubine Li Jieyu. For more than ten years, even if she occasionally had a new love, she never sat on the right hand of the emperor.What's more, Li Xiangting is just a Jieyu, and there are several wives on top, no matter what, there is no way for a Jieyu to sit beside the emperor.

——Could it be that Concubine Zhong fell out of favor?

Everyone recalled Li Jieyu's amazing dance on the emperor's birthday earlier, it was really mesmerizing, the so-called beauty Yan Ruyu, a hero like no other in the world.

Emperor Zhaosheng was majestic and profound, and never allowed others to make judgments. Even if the emperor favored a concubine, even if there was some overreach, the officials could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

But only a few people know, just because Taoist Xuanweizi made a fortune to Li Jieyu a few days ago, saying that her fate is suitable for the Lord, so Emperor Zhaosheng has a good eye for Li Jieyu.

Zhong Liheng sat among the officials, his old eyes swept over everyone present, and then fell on the glass cup in front of him, thinking about his sister's letter from the past two days.

There has been a commotion in the palace, Li Xiangting is nothing, she Zhong Liyue has been around for more than ten years, she has never paid attention to it, the only thing that worries her is the man behind the scenes.

This Li Jieyu is only twenty years old, and her father's official position is low. In terms of means and power, how can she compete with her?But in the palace, because of her indescribable resemblance to Yingji, she was favored by Emperor Zhaosheng time and time again, and even helped by Xuanweizi of unknown origin.

Concubine Zhong Gui has already gritted her silver teeth in secret, who is behind the scenes?Is it King Zhao, Concubine Lan, or Ying Ji's damned legacy?Who is familiar with the secrets of the palace for many years, who wants to make that beautiful face and bones reappear in the world, who wants to make the old things come back, and who wants to turn the muddy water of the palace upside down? !

Over there, Concubine Zhong Gui's qi stagnates in her chest, she has been unable to eat for several days.

Here Zhong Liheng is not having a good time either, he and his sister are closely related, they share the same spirit, honor and disgrace are one, if his sister loses power in the palace, he will naturally suffer no good, only Zhong Dang was impeached, hurting his vitality, It's not good to touch the emperor's bad luck again, so I had no choice but to calm down and bear it secretly. Fortunately, my nephew is still loved by the emperor, at least he has not shaken his foundation.

Li Zhenyuan sat among the generals, looking at Yuan Che from a distance. They have never met in private these days. First, Li Zhenyuan is somewhat embarrassing. Being caught has more handles.

Yuan Che was also looking at this side. The two people's eyes crossed each other, but they didn't dare to stay for a moment, and then moved away immediately, pretending to be unintentional, but listening to the throbbing of the thing in his chest, he quickly took a sip of wine and suppressed it. .But he heard Pingdong General Wei Long say to him: "Your Majesty looks really good, it seems that Xuan Weizi is really good."

General Pingdong ranks third rank, which is also extremely high, but he always has the recklessness of a general, and he speaks without thinking. How about the emperor's dragon body, just think about it in his heart, how can he talk about it in public?

After hearing this sentence, Li Zhenyuan just drank silently and didn't answer him.Although his father is the Great General of Zhen Guo and has recently made meritorious service, after all, he has the lowest qualifications and the youngest age. Seeing that he didn't answer, General Pingdong felt bored, so he went drinking and enjoying the dance by himself in resentment.

Li Zhenyuan looked at Li Jieyu who was by the emperor's side. He also heard the rumor that Li Xiangting was similar to Yingji, and thought of Yuan Che's relationship with Li Jieyu. He felt a little uneasy. He always felt that Yuan Che had something to do with this matter .

He still remembered what Yuan Che said to Yuan Xin in Yongning Temple, that Concubine Zhong Guifei would never be able to spoil her family again, and I am afraid that this matter was planned by Yuan Che.

Who is Emperor Zhaosheng?

The first emperor Jiawen's first son was Prince Xiaocheng, while Emperor Zhaosheng was only a concubine son at that time, his mother was a maid in the queen's palace and was not favored by the emperor, but when the first emperor passed away, Emperor Zhaosheng had already held the military power and bullied the prince Young and weak, he seized the throne and killed almost all his brothers. After that, the crown prince left the palace, and his life and death are unknown.It has been 36 years since Emperor Zhaosheng sat firmly on the throne.Although the emperor has been ignoring the government in recent years and becoming increasingly insensitive, he has been in the upper position for a long time and is familiar with power struggle tricks.

Li Zhenyuan was afraid that Yuan Che would plot against Emperor Zhaosheng, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg.In this worry, the banquet ended without knowing it.

Li Zhenyuan came out of Danfeng Gate, and met Ruan Fengxie who was traveling with him, he had already lost all quarrel with Ruan Shaoqing, and seeing him walking alone, he invited him into the carriage.The two haven't seen each other in private for a few days, but their friendship was shallow at first, so there is no such thing as missing each other.

"Is Shaoqing busy these days?" Li Zhenyuan asked.

"It's still manageable." Ruan Fengxie said, "I heard that the battle in the north is tense, and the general is going to fight again?"

Li Zhenyuan didn't expect that Ruan Fengxie's news was so well-informed. This was only planned by the Ministry of War, and it seemed that other people also got wind of it.The emperor was most afraid of blind dates between generals and civil servants, let alone climbing up with the prince. The Li family did not dare to interfere in the matter of seizing the heir, and treated all the princes as equals, with alienation as the main priority.

Li Zhenyuan didn't know the meaning of his words, so he could only respond vaguely: "It's just a preliminary decision. I'm still young, so I can't take on such a heavy responsibility. Maybe I will send other generals."

Ruan Fengxie couldn't help but sneered: "I was just mentioning it, why should the general care so much? Ruan is just a young minister, and he never dares to speak nonsense about important military and political matters."

Li Zhenyuan saw him poking his own thoughts: "Young Qing is worrying too much. I really don't know about this."

Ruan Fengxie said again: "I think this matter is a bit strange. Now it is the turn of spring and summer, when the water and grass are plentiful. In previous years, the thieves were busy with animal husbandry, and there was no shortage of food. It is rare for them to commit crimes at this time. I am afraid that this matter will be dealt with differently. There are articles, the general should be more careful."

Li Zhenyuan is extremely strong in marching and fighting, but in terms of power and scheming, he is not comparable to these people in the imperial capital.Seeing that Ruan Fengxie didn't meander in his words, and he was vigilant, he couldn't help being grateful; "Thank you, Shaoqing, for reminding me."

"The general is Dasheng's future military god, the pillar of the community, but you must not make mistakes, and you must take care of yourself."

Looking at Ruan Fengxie, Li Zhenyuan had the feeling that he was on his side. He didn't know where this trust came from, but he was in the imperial capital, so he had to be cautious in everything.That's all I can say about the frontier affairs, so the two talked about Xuan Weizi, who has recently become famous.

Li Zhenyuan thought that Ruan Fengxie belonged to King Zhao's faction, so he might know something about it, so he said: "That Taoist priest is really miraculous, but within half a decade, His Majesty's illness has improved. Could it be that it is a fairy prescription?"

"Where is there any fairy prescription in the world," Ruan Fengxie said indifferently, his eyes glanced at the noisy night outside the window, "It's just exhausting vitality, in exchange for a moment of well-being."
