Chiwuxing

common sense.Mingze Xiuchuan is good, but the second younger brother admired the classics since he was a child, after all, he is not someone who can take responsibility and go away completely.Since there is a place to do our best, why not take advantage of the situation? "

"I saw my elder brother in the room on the first floor of the Beijing Central a few days ago, and I didn't dare to recognize him. I probably guessed that my elder brother wanted to find each other because of something," Zongzheng said, "but I didn't expect to be blocked here today. up."

"Second brother is a sentient being."

Zong Zhengyi smiled faintly, with a hint of self-mockery, and turned to look at Fu Chen: "What advice does Master Hu have?"

"...Don't dare," Fu Chen had been thinking about the whole situation just now, and he probably figured out the man's intentions, and then said, "Since Cheng is a rough man with short-sightedness, let the capable and talented people in this dynasty let it go, let it go, but don't let it go." Entrust with great power. If you use your talents and let go of your power, you will last for a long time. But in this way, it is inevitable to have the intention of neglecting the hearts of courtiers."

Zong Zhengyi bent his lips and smiled: "Master Hu is referring to someone, isn't it?"

"Exactly," Fu Chen didn't hide anything, "the head of the former capable ministers in the new court—Master Shao is in charge of the affairs of the new government. He has done his best and put his heart and soul into it, and he can show his talents. He is worthy of use when rectifying the troubled times now. But even when the old Yan was founded, there were emperors who deliberately weakened the military government because of fear of military power, and they still suffered from it even a hundred years later. Mr. Shao is now reused, and there is no guarantee that he will have any plans in the future. At least in the current court, there is no one who can check and balance it."

"Actually, I have known Mr. Shao for a long time, and I know him well," Zong Zhengyi said, "He is greedy in small things, but he is not confused in business matters."

Zong Zhengxi said: "Second brother didn't know the wrong person the first day, so he shouldn't be so confident in power, fame and wealth at this time."

"...That's true," Zongzheng sighed bitterly, "So Lord Hu wants me to go back to the new court to compete with him?"

"It's not an order, but a request." Fu Chen glanced sideways at Zong Zhengxi, and said, "There is no second person in the northern and southern borders who can take on this responsibility."

"...Is that so?" Zong Zhengyi tugged at the corners of his lips meaninglessly.

"Your Highness has any requirements, feel free to ask," Fu Chen said sincerely, "Although Sheng is poor and doesn't have much money, he will try his best to promise what he wants."

"You and your cousin are old acquaintances, right?"

Fu Chen was startled, and after a detour in his mind, he figured out that the person he was talking about was Ni Chengxin: "...There are several aspects of old friends."

"My cousin's child has reached the full age, I thought of a name," Zongzheng said with lowered eyes, "If you can get her to accept it, I will agree to your request."

Fu Chen was stunned, reacted for a while, and then said: "Miss Ni...hasn't given... a name yet?"

Zong Zhengyi raised his eyes: "May Hu Lord agree to this condition?"

"I'll try my best." Fu Chen lowered his eyes, with complicated feelings, "Your Highness...what name did you choose?"

"Yu."

"Yu?" Fu Chen raised his eyebrows, subconsciously glanced to the side again, "...Why 'Yu'?"

"The sun is brighter than the day, which means bright."

When Fu Chen came out of the wing room in a daze, some unexplained sadness filled his heart.

Therefore, the pace was much slower than usual, and when he reached the door of the back room, the woman waiting at the door was the first to call him: "Master, the girl has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing the sound, Fu Chen came back to his senses, and hurriedly raised his head up the steps, but when he approached, he found that this woman looked very familiar: "You are..."

Seeing this, the woman covered her lips and smiled happily, but she let go of her old atmosphere: "... now that my master is rich, he doesn't know slaves anymore."

Fu Chen was shaken by that smile, and his memory was awakened: "You are Miss Luohong."

"It's the slave's family," Luo Hong said with a sad smile, "It's an accidental acquaintance, so I still remember it."

The woman wore a long crimson dress, which was especially gorgeous.

"Long time no see, the girl's face remains the same," Fu Chen lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "It's so beautiful, how can I forget it."

"Master has changed a lot. At least, this articulateness is not as good as it used to be... It's obvious that he has a lot of experience, and he has this eloquent tongue." Luo Hong looked at him with a smile, then leaned closer and whispered, "... I wonder if Nuke still has a chance to taste it?"

"Young lady laughed," Fu Chen smiled lightly and shook his head, "Let's go in first."

Luo Hong also suppressed a bit of a smile, stepped forward to open the door for her, and said softly: "My lord looks so haggard, if there are too many chores, you should pay attention to rest... If you don't mind, slave And always on standby.”

Fu Chen knew that he didn't have much malice, so he entered the door by mistake, and said, "Thank you for your concern, miss."

As soon as I entered the room, I found that in the main bedroom, the girls who came and went, stood and waited were all brightly dressed like Luoluohong, with colorful colors, and there were still smiles on their faces, and some of them talked casually with each other.It seemed to make Fu Chen think that the person lying behind the deep curtain was not a seriously ill person.

A tall slender woman led him to the inner room, and then led all the girls outside to retreat.

In front of the bed curtain, there is a high and low screen in the shape of a human being, and through the embroidery on it, you can see the sick person lying on the bed.At the side, a much older woman is sitting on a chair with a baby in human form in her arms, and the baby has apparently fallen asleep.

Fu Chen glanced at him, then looked forward again: "Miss Ni."

There was a sound from behind the screen, and Fu Chen vaguely saw her sitting upright by the bed.

"You're here." Ni Chengxin also looked at him indifferently from the side of the screen, "That's not how you called me when we said goodbye last time."

Fu Chen pursed his lips: "...Madam Tang."

The woman laughed, not knowing her emotions: "...Now in this world, no one calls me that except you."

"Thank you Madam for helping Your Highness find the crown prince."

"You don't need to thank me. When I was young, I ruined Your Highness's reputation for personal gain. I should help you," Ni Chengxin said calmly. "Besides, according to my cousin's ability, if I can return to serve in the imperial court, it will be a good return. I do this kindness from it, and I also repay it." I owe a little to both parties, and I feel a little guilty because they fulfilled me, so I should thank them."

Fu Chen remained silent, and heard the woman say again: "But to you... what can I make up for?"

"... He and I are sorry for too many people." Ni Chengxin closed his eyes, "There are villains, and I don't intend to repay them. But among the people who are still alive in this world, the only one who has not paid half of their debts is you gone."

Fu Chen lowered his eyes, then shook his head, expressionless: "He gave me his life, it's a payment."

"That's because he is selfish and cowardly." The woman's voice was cold.

"Up to now, there is no need to worry about it," Fu Chen said tiredly, "I have no intention of looking back and pursuing it."

"...I know you are innocent," Ni Chengxin recalled the first time they met in the street, mocking and hating himself, "I originally dragged you on the street, but I didn't expect to drag you into the bottomless pit later."

"Madam, don't blame yourself," Fu Chen said calmly, "Even if it's not like this, there is still a way. If I insist on exploring that bottomless pit, how can I blame others."

"You don't know...you don't know..." Ni Chengxin fell into the memory, two lines of tears fell, "...your eyes at that time were so clear as when I first met him Nothing less than that. I just watched his eyes gradually dim... I used to be sentimental, thinking it was because of me... But what sins do you have... He is sorry for you, and I am sorry for you."

What crime did he have... Fu Chen was lost in thought... How could he not?

"Ma'am, I'm overthinking. It's my fault that you don't know about it. God's will decides, it just happened to be arranged here, it's not just your business."

"...Don't worry," Ni Chengxin said to himself, "Last year I was anxious and worried, and this child was born before the full term. Now that he has reached his first birthday and is still safe, I have nothing more to ask... I don't want to Will make you die before me..."

Fu Chen moved to the side, and the woman showed him the face of the baby.

A face as tender as a flower bone, and a pair of long-lost eyes.

Even if it is closed, you can imagine how it unfolds.

Fu Chen pulled up all his strength and wanted to recall some hatred, but found that he was already weak from body to heart, unable to look back on those entanglements of right and wrong... How could it be cleared up?

"...does he have a name?"

"Yes," Ni Chengxin also turned his head to look at the shadow on the screen, and said, "I picked up two, and I haven't decided which one to choose... Originally, I planned to toss a copper coin in the suburbs of Beijing to choose one, but I don't know. I'll be sick for now...Why don't you choose one?"

"You said."

"One is called 'Tang Zui' and the other is called 'Tang Xie'," Ni Chengxin said lightly, "I prefer the former one, and the latter one has too many strokes. I'm afraid it will be troublesome for him in the future. Brutal way..."

"Ma'am," Fu Chen shifted his gaze from the baby's face to the screen, "I'll give him a name, and all the previous things will be canceled. Is it okay?"

The people behind the screen were silent.

Fu Chen continued:

"Yu, call it 'Tang Yu'."

"The sun is as bright as the day, as bright as the wilds of the Tang and Tang Dynasties...the light is blazing, and the road is safe."

After a long time, the sound of whimpering gradually rose from behind the screen, the sound was first swallowed into the quilt, muffled, and then suddenly loud and clear.It growled louder and louder, like a baby.Fu Chenye was a little dazed, and when he listened carefully, he realized that it was not his illusion, the sleeping child in the woman's arms was probably awakened by the crying, and for some unknown reason, they burst into tears together.

The woman should have heard the cry of the child, and suddenly rushed out from behind the screen, and hugged the crying baby into her arms.Shaking and coaxing in a low voice, but the tears couldn't stop, Kongzi wiped his face.

Only then did Fu Chen see the woman's figure again. She was abnormally thin and her hair was messy, which did not match the portrait in his memory.

He tore off the cloak and put it on the woman's shoulders, trying to lift her up, but she suddenly dodged to avoid it.

The woman next to him got up and said to him: "Leave the house and rest for a while, Miss, she will be fine in a while, and I will call you back then."

Fu Chen looked down at the thin back who was half kneeling by the chair, and nodded: "Okay."

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind blew in.

Fu Chen hurriedly closed the door, subconsciously adjusted his collar, feeling a little cold.

He stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back for a while, looking at the desolation of the empty courtyard.He turned around and wanted to pass through the carved wooden corridor next to him, and the sound of the woman's laughter continued to approach.As soon as I turned around the corner of the corridor, I saw the seven or eight girls in Shicai's room gathered around a corner table, fighting wine and passing orders, and the singing of birds and swallows, which dispelled the coldness of the end of winter.

The girls all sensed his coming, and a delicate female voice called out: "You don't have to go to the East Chamber, those two have already left."

Fu Chen paused, swallowed his breath, and then answered: "I just go for a walk."

The courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion had obviously been neglected for a long time. He remembered that Ni Chengxin moved back here from his original house after the Prime Minister's Mansion ransacked his home.But there were not many people in the yard.

After walking a few steps, light footsteps approached behind him, accompanied by a female voice: "Is there still something worrying, sir?"

Fu Chen stopped, smiled and sighed looking back: "In life, there is no one who is not sad."

Luo Hong carried a wooden box on his elbow, leading him to sit down on the wooden railing chair next to him.

"Sorrow is sorrow, but it can't be like this all the time," Luo Hong opened the box and took out the jug and cup, "I always have to find a way to overcome it, won't this be the way to get over it?"

"That's the reason," Fu Chen smiled lightly, while pondering, "...Young lady knows who I am."

Luo Hong smiled: "Not only you, but the two who just left... We know a lot and forget quickly, so you don't have to worry about it. Just laugh and have fun, why care about those beautiful and empty dreams?"

Fu Chen thought of the group of girls he met just now, and even this one in front of him, they were all very different from the world he had seen recently, even a little out of touch with the world, but he was happy with himself: "You girls are still open-minded, which is enviable."

"If you really want to be like us, you can change at any time. The so-called 'let go of the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately'. Conversely, if you let go of the Buddha's commandments, you will reach the ultimate bliss in the world right now. What is the difficulty in just one thought? Don't be envious." Luo Hong poured the wine and handed it to him.

Fu Chen took it casually, brought it to his lips, hesitated, turned and put it down slowly.

"……What's wrong?"

Fu Chen smiled: "There are some root causes... It's inconvenient to drink."

Luo Hong didn't say much, she snatched the wine from his hand with a smile, and drank it herself.

"The girl is proud."

"If you have any troubles, you might as well talk about it," Luo Hong said with a smile, "I'm not a talkative person when I'm bored in my spare time."

"It's not really an annoyance," Fu Chen laughed at himself, "at most it's mediocrity and self-deception."

Luo Hong noticed that he was still on guard and didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask further, she just sighed and smiled: "... At first I said that the master has changed, but now it seems that he hasn't changed at all."

"Is it good or bad?"

"There is no such thing as good or bad," Luo Hong stared at her face, "Only in the eyes of the right person, what you do is good. If you are an enemy or an opponent, everything you do is evil. It depends on where you put your eyes. ...Anyway, happy people in the world prefer the former, and the slave family is no exception. On the contrary, sister Chengzhe was the most tiring when she was doing the former thing on the face while staring at the latter in the dark. "

The man lowered his eyes sadly, stretched his fingers and crushed the corners of his eyes, venting his exhaustion.

"...Is there someone by my side?"

Fu Chen reacted and understood what she was asking: "...Yes."

"Since ancient times, heroes have always been accompanied by confidantes. Of course, such a talented person will often talk with each other when he hears the news. If the master wishes, I will also be a confidant." Luo Hong put the catkin on the back of the man's hand, and said with a smile, "Mr. There is no need to suspect that the slave family is concerned about your status and status. I know that I am humble and humble in the eyes of others, but these years I have never been short of food and clothing. Gold, silver and wealth are far more than ordinary people. Therefore, I don’t mind what others think, and I don’t plan to covet you. What money and belongings do you have, let alone a false name and honor."

Fu Chen didn't want to take the girl's face away, so he just pulled out his right hand, and patted the back of the girl's hand twice: "...Thank you for your favor, I don't know what's good or bad."

When Luo Hong saw this, she withdrew her hand. Although she was not annoyed, she said that being rejected was rare after all, so she asked curiously: "...Could it be that the people around you are jealous women who don't like us?"

"Miss worrying too much," Fu Chen pulled his lips, "People... have already run away because of my anger."

"My lord doesn't look like a violent person."

Fu Chen said in a low voice: "Maybe... just be a little stubborn towards him."

Luo Hong smiled and said: "That must be the person who really likes each other."

The man closed his eyes and said nothing for a long time.

"What's the matter, grandpa?"

Fu Chen lowered his head, slightly opened his eyes:

"... an alcohol addict."
