Hypocrites

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, it's time to go."

"...Oh." Liang Heng rubbed his eyes and sat up, "Where are you going?"

Beside the bed, the eunuchs were holding lacquer plates in their hands, and there was a bone-shaving knife in the plate.Everyone surrounds him.

"Go and plead guilty to the ancestors of the Liang family. You have been sitting on the throne for a few days, and you have to cut off a few pieces of meat. If you cut enough, I will send you to Jiuquan."

Liang Heng woke up from the dream in an instant.

Xinzhou was watching him doze off, he held his hand and stroked his forehead covered in cold sweat.Liang Heng didn't make a fuss, just stared, sweat soaking the palms of both of them.After a while, he sat up with a hoarse voice: "What time is it?"

Xinzhou rolled up the bed tent, and the sky outside was bright.

"The guard is on duty today," Liang Heng pondered for a while, "Go and call Shen Yu."

Xinzhou left quickly, and within less than a cup of tea, there were footsteps outside the hall.

Come so fast?

As soon as people came in, Liang Heng said: "Come and sit closer."

As soon as the footsteps stopped, the door was closed, and they walked around the screen slowly.

But it was Duan Yanling.

Although he was on duty, because the weather was getting warmer and the armor was stuffy, he meanderingly changed into his regular clothes, pretending to be a suave upstart, and sat down beside Liang Heng: "Just got up?"

Seeing him, Liang Heng lost interest and changed his clothes by himself.

Duan Yanling smiled and said, "Wait for me? You can't wait."

"How did you come?"

Duan Yanling knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and said wrongly: "I am on duty today, if I don't come, who will come? Who are you waiting for?"

Liang Heng ignored him, Duan Yanling leaned on the backrest, stared at him wearing a coat, with two sash tied together, stretching out his waist, and suddenly said: "When I came over, I saw Qiu Zhiyuan also coming in this direction."

Liang Heng paused.

"I thought to myself that you don't hate that surnamed Qiu, and I came here to help you block it."

"Did you block it?" Liang Heng asked.

Duan Yanling smiled: "If I blocked you outside your hall, I would have to be crushed to death by that senior official surnamed Qiu, and he would come in if he wanted to. Thanking guests behind closed doors is also a skill, Your Majesty, sometimes you can make a detour."

He took off the gold hooks on both sides of the bed curtain, and the heavy curtains slid down. He pushed Liang Heng down again, turned over and pressed on it, and while opening the sash around his waist, he said casually: "Let him know that it is not convenient for His Majesty to see people at this time. Just go away by yourself?"

"What do you mean?"

Liang Heng stared fixedly at his cousin.

Duan Yanling untied his coat, stretched out his hand, and the clothes passed through the curtain and fell to the ground, soft and soft like a cloud of ambiguity.

"It's okay, as long as Qiu Zhiyuan knows what it means."

Liang Heng immediately understood, this bastard has always known Qiu Zhiyuan's hobbies!He wanted to break free, but Duan Yanling grabbed his wrist and pressed him into the soft quilt.

"Believe it or not, I will slap you?"

"I'll help you," Duan Yanling laughed and rubbed against Liang Heng's neck, "Who else would really help you except brother."

Liang Heng was simply impatient, and was about to get up when someone was thrown off, Duan Yanling said: "Do you still remember the time I came to look for you before you came to the throne?"

Before taking the throne?That was the time of the late emperor's new funeral, Liang Heng was extremely busy every day, saw all kinds of people, Tai Changqing, Zong Zhengqing, officials of ceremonies, mausoleum magistrates, countless, and he didn't remember Duan Yanling was here at all.

"Although I drank some wine..."

It seems to be a little impressed.Indeed, there was one time when Duan Yanling got drunk from somewhere, and came to the Chu Palace to play drunk, insisting on seeing Liang Heng, and said some nonsense in his mouth. government.

"But my mind is clear. I remember telling you that no matter what you want to do, brother will help you. As long as you say a word, you will go through fire and water...Have you forgotten?"

Liang Heng didn't take it to heart at all.If a drunk was confused, he poured the paste out of his stomach, and the servants had already cleaned it up and poured it into the cesspit.

"I remember, I'm so touched. You are the best to me, cousin." After Liang Heng finished perfunctory, he was about to get up, but was pushed back by Duan Yanling with a serious expression: "Then why are you still named Youduhou?"

"..."

"No matter what, my brother can do it for you, why should you promote an outsider to your side?"

Duan Yanling touched Liang Heng's face, along his chin to his collarbone, and pressed his palm against his heart. The scorching heat made Liang Heng's face turn red immediately.

"It's because I didn't do enough," Duan Yanling held his hand again and placed it on his chest, his rapid heartbeat came through his flesh, "Or do you want more? Heng'er, look at your brother's heart..."

Those two words were like a slap in the face, which made Liang Heng wake up instantly.

Duan Yanling can do anything for him, but he can't tolerate a right capital.All the sacrifices in the world are secretly asking for rewards, but what does Duan Yanling want?

The depressive and painful emotions surged in his eyes, which made Liang Heng terrified. He didn't know what he was not satisfied with.

"Get up!"

"You promise me first!"

Liang Heng kicked him as soon as he got up, and Duan Yanling imprisoned him with two kicks. Usually, Duan Yanling let him fight.

"You...!" Liang Heng was really angry, "You don't think I dare not punish you!"

"Are you willing? Who else is by your side besides me... Hiss!"

Duan Yanling was hit by a knee in the stomach, gasping for breath in pain, Liang Heng took the opportunity to overturn him, angry and confused, while dressing, he said: "I don't understand, what exactly do you want? Not enough? How much do you think the faculties sealed from me are worth? You are really reassuring to fight with me for a Youduhou!"

Duan Yanling lay motionless and was kicked to death by Liang Heng.

Not long after, Xinzhou brought the new official Youduhou, whom Duan Yanling hated, to have an audience.When the two met each other, Duan Yanling stood up suddenly, thinking that he was also out of his mind.

"You're not crazy," Liang Heng comforted a little, "Of course I'm not crazy either. You won't believe me when I tell you that Brother Yu is still alive, haha."

Duan Yanling: "..."

Shen Yu was calm and calm, and greeted: "Don't come here without any problems, Duan Zuodu."

The relationship between the two was not very good, Shen Yu was always worried that Duan Yanling would spoil Liang Heng, and Duan Yanling couldn't understand Shen Yu's high airs as a scholar.The two, who were by no means the same kind, but rather incompatible, became the emperor's right and left servants.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Yanling immediately understood who Liang Heng's Youduhou was.

"How about you-"

"I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Without waiting for Liang Heng to chase him away, Duan Yanling hurried away as if avoiding a ghost.

What's the matter with this man?Liang Heng was puzzled.

Shen Yu was not in the palace today, so he didn't have a sword, and only hung a bronze medal of Fengque on his waist.Sitting opposite Liang Heng, he didn't make a sound and was very comfortable.

Liang Heng knew him. He used to be the one who could sit still the most when he was studying. If Liang Heng didn't speak first, he might not be able to sit quietly till noon.

"I came here to tell you something."

Shen Yu was neither salty nor salty, and hummed, meaning why should he come to him if there is nothing to do.

Liang Heng choked, if someone else was so rude, with Liang Heng's current temper, he would have thrown things and cursed at others.Didn't Duan Yanling get kicked by him?That is Shen Yu.

"I know what you want to do when you come to the capital. Since you have accepted the title of official and are willing to lend my hand, it is best not to regard me as my father."

Liang Heng's father, if he was still alive, should also be the object of Shen Yu's hatred.

"Yes, pardon me for being rude," Shen Yu said, "Your Majesty has something to say, please."

"That night in the West Market," Liang Heng asked, "I drank too much, that person must be you, right?"

Shen Yu nodded: "It's a minister."

"The other day I went to learn about Lingguan. I'm not afraid of your jokes if I say it. In fact, you must know in your heart that there is no one around me. I can't understand. I went to Xie Lingguan to inquire about news."

Two years ago when the party was imprisoned, the first emperor executed a group of his followers, most of them were fabricated out of nothing, or they listened to the slander of the treacherous and slanderous, and all the loyal and virtuous in the court were wiped out.This trick is good for killing chickens and monkeys, and the rest of the sick and those begging for bones will all leave the court to protect themselves wisely.

Liang Hengdao: "My uncle was confronting the three eunuchs tit for tat. He pretended to be sick and stayed behind closed doors for a whole year. His attitude is still ambiguous to this day. Although I trust him, I can't use him well. The ministers I have dealt with before I ascended the throne Huo Liang is the only one left, but I have always doubted him, after the golden seal was stolen, he was the first one who agreed with the first Emperor issued an imperial edict without a seal."

The two were relatively speechless.

The edict released by Huo Liang that was not in accordance with the etiquette system took away the future and lives of hundreds of disciples from Shen and Ma.

"There have been rumors and rumors in the Xie Ling Hall for a long time. Huo Liang has not accepted bribes for a day or two. He is the first to bear the brunt of the third eunuch."

"The only ones I can trust and control are the two guards of the platform and the pavilion. They are all my own people, without the intervention of the Southern Army, and they were formed at the suggestion of Yanling. Don't you see that they guard the front and back of the steps? If not , I’m really worried that when I wake up one day, I’m no longer in the Golden Palace, but in jail.”

When Liang Heng confessed, Shen Yu listened intently and didn't answer. As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yu nodded to express his understanding, and understood why Liang Heng chose to let himself be the captain of the Taiwan guard—because apart from the fact that this position was real, The rest of the little emperors were out of control.

Before sleeping in the same bed, Liang Heng half-jokingly promised Shen Yu to be his prime minister, but it became a joke in the end.

"What do you want to do?" Liang Heng asked sincerely.

Shen Yu rarely showed an expression of disgust: "In your situation, I can't do anything I want to do."

Liang Heng: "...What are you dissatisfied with?"

"I dare not."

Shen Yu was respectful and well behaved.Rather, this situation was already in his expectation, as early as when he guessed that the person who met with Qiu Qianli privately was Xu Fu, the prefect of Shixing.

Even Xu Chou can be Qiu Gong's confidant, and the first emperor is like sitting in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, let alone Liang Heng, who is weak and weak.

Song Jun, Yan Ran, and Zhou Hui used to be Liang Heng's new team.But things are different and people are different, so there is no need to mention it anymore.

"I heard," Shen Yudao said, "after Xu Chou's death, Shixing was taken over by a new sheriff?"

After Shen Jin, Ru Yang has always been acting as a single official.The situation in Siheung was different, and high-level changes were made very quickly.

Liang Heng replied: "It's Pei Hui. The officials withered too much. Later, the three eunuchs and the late emperor basically re-negotiated. Pei Hui was recommended, and most of them had a close relationship with the three eunuchs. If it is true as you said... Shixing It is Qiu Zhiyuan's sphere of influence, and he will not be willing to give it up easily."

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure," Liang Heng frowned, "I'm not familiar with this person."

Liang Heng frowned more often, and often felt headaches and rubbed the center of his brows.

"I issued an edict to call him back to report on his duties," Shen Yu's words awakened the man in his dream, "You will know him well after having a long talk with the monarchs and ministers in the Xuanshi Palace. Then award him a reward to show your sincerity in recruiting talents."

He was right.

Throughout the world, only the Son of Heaven can give the most power and honor.What is a eunuch?Taking shelter of the royal fox and pretending to be powerful, but blinding one leaf to see Mount Tai, these three people restrained Liang Heng in every possible way, isn't it a manifestation of guilty conscience?

"Don't worry too. I'll think about it when I go back. Is there any other way? Of course, the three beetles can turn a deer into a horse, but Qingliu doesn't want to be with them."

These words made Liang Heng feel relieved for a long time.Just like the rooster crowing at five o'clock, although the sky is not yet bright, there is hope.

Shen Yu came early, so Liang Heng met him in the bedroom, so he knew that he hadn't had breakfast yet, so he didn't want to disturb him, Liang Heng called him back when he left.

"I did not punish Xinzhou."

Shen Yu was surprised and raised half of his eyebrows.Xinzhou stood under the golden pillar in front of the steps, honestly, with his sleeves covering his crippled palms.

"There is no lie today." Liang Heng said.

Shen Yu nodded, raised his front and stepped over the carved threshold, the morning light flickered on the edge of his black brocade robe, elusive and elusive.
