The Laughing Usa of the Red Chamber

Crane Tower is located on the shore of Slender West Lake. It occupies a small area, but it has a special charm. The plaque when entering the door is written by Liu Zhengting, a talented scholar in the former dynasty. Just looking at it makes you feel elegant.

When I first entered the building, I could hear the sound of silk and bamboo playing in my ears. The Taiping tune was played without any rush, which made people feel quiet.

Xu Wenlang led the way respectfully, Shen Yulin followed behind Ji Qian with downcast eyes, and didn't want to chatter with others, but only looked at everyone with a look of great interest.

The time in Yushifu was enough for these officials to find out about Shen Yulin's details, so some attendants led him to the four seats on the right, as if they respected him very much.

Ji Qian sat at the main seat, but he didn't respond to everyone's half a word. The others all smiled and walked down the steps to each other, but Zhang Zhengyuan, the Governor of Water Transport, looked a little unhappy.

It's no wonder, he is from the lineage of King Yongzong, whose birth mother is Concubine Wu, whose mother family is extremely noble, if it wasn't for Ji Chenxin's saying that he restrained his wife back then, he would have been doted on by Concubine Zheng long ago, Among the princes, he always felt that he was superior to others, and his henchmen were also always arrogant. He only thought that Ji Qian was the prince, and he was too airy.

Shen Yulin closed his eyes with a half-smile, and took a glass of chilled plum brew.

Xu Shijiao was blinded by the prosperity of the gold powder. These people were in great trouble, but they still didn't know it.

Do you really think he is here to join in the fun?It's just looking at the crowd today, and first recognizing the face.

Although the ancient law does not blame the public, but such a big deficit is caused and they want to hang out in groups. Oh, it really is too many peaceful days when the Emperor Shan Gao is far away, and he even forgot who his surname is in this world.

What Ji Qian did this time was because of the eternally famous Jiangnan Kueikong Company, which was charged with crimes. The clean government platform built with the bones of more than a hundred officials who committed the crimes is still standing upright after thousands of years.

Thinking of this, Shen Yulin unconsciously glanced at Ji Qian with a cold face, and suddenly felt that he was so far away from him.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Ji Qian raised his eyes and met Shen Yulin's ecstatic gaze, and his expression softened for a moment.

Shen Yulin was stunned, pretending to be innocent, took the lotus cool cup in front of him, and turned his head to watch the singing and dancing in the venue.

Ji Qian's black eyes slightly curved.

The singing and dancing at this time are not the same as those of the later generations, and they have a somewhat eclectic charm. Only after the enchanting and joyful Step by Step Golden Lotus Dance is another ethereal and chic Huayue Dance.

The jade arms are slender, the colorful sleeves loop back, the waist is like a willow, and the breeze is dancing. It really looks like a fairy descending to the mortal world. Shen Yulin felt a little serious.

Ji Qian took a sip of his wine, feeling that these dancing girls were too lightly dressed.

The style of literature in the south of the Yangtze River is at its peak, and Shen Yulin is a young champion with a reputation that spread far and wide. Seeing that he is interested in singing and dancing, some people laughed and said: "I heard that the champion of Jinke, Gong Shan, recited poems, and today he cleans up the dust for the prince. I don't know... "

Shen Yulin looked up, but he was a middle-aged official with a white face and a slight beard, smiling very kindly.

After he finished speaking, someone immediately laughed and said: "That's right, the number one scholar's official documents are elegant, I wonder if we will be lucky enough to hear the masterpieces?"

"The so-called Sanyuan world exists, but there are no six poems in the world, and the number one scholar..."

Shen Yulin was amused in his heart, how could he deserve so much praise as a small official accompanying him, and he obviously took the opportunity to flatter King Yongning.

Just as he was about to decline, he saw Ji Qian raised his eyes slightly and nodded to him.

With a flash of thought in his mind, Shen Yulin stood up, slightly raised his eyebrows, and said, "Since that's the case, Yulin will show his shame."

As he spoke, he pondered for a while, then stood in front of the table set up in the venue, and took up a pen to write the song "Remembering Yaochi Huayue".

Last night, the dawn breeze passed the cabin, and half opened the window like a dream.

The stars are dotted with black jade, and the silk and jade are dyed with cloud pattern frost.

In what year and who once said with a smile, tomorrow will be sunny and sit on the east bed.

In the middle of the moon, Chang'e should have hatred, and the white-headed mandarin ducks are blowing across the Bijiang River.

......

Drunk during the banquet, Shen Yulin leaned against the inside of the carriage, looking at Ji Qian as though her phoenix eyes were fogged.

Chiyang Palace is not far away, but it's late at night and the carriage is moving very slowly.

"During the banquet just now, why did you look at me like that?" Ji Qian said.

Shen Yulin raised his head slightly, but did not respond.

Ji Qian stroked his hair and sighed: "Forget it, you're tired today too..."

Shen Yulin suddenly said: "Mu Qi..."

Ji Qian looked at him, but saw the young man's eyes blurred, and he muttered: "Mu Qi, Mu Qi..."

He couldn't help laughing, pulled him into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I'm here."

☆☆☆☆☆.

After a hangover, I always have a headache. Man Ting knows medicine. After soaking his hands in hot water and rubbing a few acupuncture points on his forehead, he was almost healed. As soon as the fragrant wind blew, Shen Yulin felt refreshed.

Because the Chiyang Palace is built on the top of the mountain, it is not too hot even though it is midsummer. Along the way, you can see greenery everywhere, birds singing and flowers fragrant.

When they arrived at the main hall, only Ji Yuanyi and Feng Shaoqin were sitting together having breakfast. When they saw him coming in, they saluted. Ji Yuanyi smiled and said, "Father is busy, so I left early in the morning. Master, if you want to find him, you can Go to inspect Yan Yushi's mansion..."

Shen Yulin doubted: "Why do you want to find the prince? The teacher is here to collect homework."

Ji Yuan also froze with a smile, Ji Qian left him all the affairs of the palace yesterday, how could he remember any homework?

Feng Shaoqin snorted, took out a scroll of copybooks from his sleeve pocket, flattened it, and said respectfully: "This is my disciple's homework."

Feng Shaoqin's talent is indeed very good, Shen Yulin looked at it, and saw that the word has a bit of character, it is not like an ordinary child's limp.

Shen Yulin praised Feng Shaoqin a few words, then looked at Ji Yuanyi.

Ji Yuanyi's homework was an essay titled "The War of Injustice in the Spring and Autumn Period", but he didn't have a single word at the moment, so he could only lower his head and say, "It's my disciple's fault, please punish me, Master."

Shen Yulin saw that he didn't refute anything, so he said: "In that case, I will..."

Feng Shaoqin lived close, but he knew about it. He didn't sleep until Haishi yesterday. Seeing that he didn't explain, he bit his lower lip and said to Shen Yulin: "Master, all the affairs of the palace are arranged by the younger brother, it is very complicated. , he didn't mean to."

Shen Yulin raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Yuanyi, "Is that so?"

Ji Yuan also glanced at Feng Shaoqin, and said sullenly: "Yes."

Shen Yulin frowned, and said: "That's all, just make up today."

With that said, he left the main hall.

Seeing people walking away, Ji Yuan snorted, "Who wants you to meddle in your own business?"

Feng Shaoqin narrowed his phoenix eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Senior Brother, don't be shy, Senior Brother knows that you are grateful..."

Ji Yuan also said that this face could not be used as a city wall, so he reached out and pinched Yuxue's cute cheek.

☆☆☆☆☆.

After looking at the koi by the lotus pond for a while, Shen Yulin was bored after all, and went out with Jinxiu.

Thousands of years ago, Jiangnan looked prosperous, because the clothes and decorations were not as strict as those of the later generations, a little glance, it only makes people feel bright everywhere.

The Jiangnan in memory is always obscure. At first, it was the undisguised malice of the mother-in-law and brother-in-law, and later, it was the appearance of the father who died with regret.

Shen Yulin closed her eyes and frowned fiercely.

After walking for a while, before I knew it, I arrived at Xunyan Yushi's Mansion, which I visited yesterday.

Or, go find some errands to do, so as not to worry about the spring and autumn.

Because Shen Yulin came with Ji Qian yesterday, the porter didn't dare to ask more questions, and let him in respectfully.

Fang arrived at the main hall of yesterday, and before he came to report urgently, a plain colored book was thrown at his feet.

"Officer talisman, what an official talisman!"

Shen Yulin picked it up, and knew what it said without even reading the content. The so-called "landlords are powerful, high-ranking officials are close by, let them let go, and the sky is straight up", the official talisman remembers the names and surnames of these powerful landlords, high-ranking officials up.

Speaking of which, this is also a secret in the officialdom, but somehow it was stabbed in front of Ji Qian.

"My lord calm down..."

"It's normal for officials to protect each other, why should the prince be angry?" Shen Yulin slowly entered the main hall and said.

Ji Qian was still angry. When he saw Shen Yulin coming in, he managed to suppress his anger and said, "Although they said so, they borrowed courage from the sky! Weaving their party feathers and oppressing the people in the name of the court. In the past, they only said that there were many disasters in the south of the Yangtze River, but this time Zha Fang knows that most of it is man-made!"

Shen Yulin listened, silent for a long time, and slowly said: "Jiangnan has long been a prosperous place, and it is far away from the capital. If you stay for a long time, anyone will be stained."

Xu Wenlang said: "My lord, what Yulin said is very true, the purge of the south of the Yangtze River needs a long-term plan..."

Shen Yulin smiled and said, "Where is it so difficult? Now that the salt government is in trouble, Yulin has a way to teach Jiangnan politics to be as clean as water."

Ji Qian looked at the confident look of the young man in front of him, and raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't believe that he had any amazing plans, he also knew that this young man never spoke big words, and said, "Tell me and listen."

Shen Yulin raised her phoenix eyes and said with a smile: "This law is called the supervision system."

Xu Wenlang frowned and said, "The Nine Provinces have supervised since ancient times, and they were effective at the beginning, but later... it just increased the number of posts."

Shen Yulin laughed and said, "It's inappropriate to supervise nine provinces with one person, but what about using hundreds of officials to supervise hundreds of officials?"

Xu Wenlang's eyes lit up, and he said, "What's the explanation?"

Shen Yulin said: "The superiors are governed below, and the officials are governed by officials. If the superior has made a mistake, the subordinate can leapfrog the rank and file a letter without guilt. If the facts are true, the subordinate can take the position of the superior, and so on."

Xu Wenlang listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter, but he said: "If they belong to the same party..."

Shen Yulin hooked his lips and said, "No one wants to climb up."

Ji Qian weighed the pros and cons, and had to admit that this was an excellent solution.

Seeing that the eyes of the two were full of admiration, Shen Yulin felt a little funny. This method was originally used by the founding monarch of the Ning Dynasty to restrain the heroes, but it was abolished by Wen Zong who came to the throne later.

He had tried this method during his prime ministership, although he offended many dignitaries, it was very effective, but after he retired and returned home, the new emperor couldn't suppress the family's counterattack, it was useless in the end.

But it is extremely applicable in the Jin Dynasty, where the monarchy is unprecedentedly strong.

It can be considered that he will live a new life and accumulate some good fortune.

The three of them discussed for a while, Ji Qian saw that it was getting late outside, and said, "Wen Lang, call someone to clean up the guest room and come out, this king wants to come and talk with Yu Lin."

Shen Yulin's smile stiffened slightly.
