first and second

No matter how strong the horse was, it was tamed. Li Chengyun beat the flattery with a whip, and the horse neighed for a long time, but obediently stopped moving. Li Chengyun smiled, beat the horse and ran around the racecourse After a few laps, he dismounted and took the reins to Emperor Huiming.

"This horse is really handsome, such a good horse is rare in the world." Li Chengyun looked at Li Changshuo who was beside him: "Brother Emperor, I admit it."

Li Changshuo stood aside with red eyes and red eyes, daring to speak out.

Emperor Huiming laughed loudly: "Good! Good! The horse is also good at riding. This is a good man in my country, and I will reward you with this horse in the future."

Li Chengyun knelt down: "I have thanked my father."

"Get up! Give it a name!"

Li Chengyun stood up and looked at Liu Wenchao in the crowd, and said, "Please help me get one, sir!"

Liu Wenchao saw the horse's four snow-white hooves and its whole body was pure black, so he said, "Let's call it Treading Snow Wuzhi!"

"Sounds good! Thank you, sir." Li Chengyun stroked the horse's mane and said, "I will call you to step on the snow from now on."

Li Chen, who was standing on the side, walked over cheerfully: "Second brother, I also want to try my foot strength on the snow, can I?"

Li Chengyun handed the reins to him: "Of course! But, don't ride too fast."

Li Chen happily said, "Thank you, Second Brother."

After Li Chen rode away on horseback, Emperor Huiming said to Li Changshuo: "Jing Hong, I heard that the guest of your house got to know Yuan during this autumn."

Finally talking about what Li Changshuo was proud of, he pointed to the man wearing a round collar white shirt beside him and said, "Return to father, it is him, named Wen Yi."

Wen Yi knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Huiming said to him: "If you can win the Huiyuan next spring, I will make you the number one scholar in the palace examination."

Wen Yi was overjoyed, and kowtowed his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Get up quickly! You all like to kneel." Emperor Huiming said happily.

Emperor Huiming pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Wenchao and said, "Liu Aiqing is the only person in this dynasty who wins Sanyuan. This happened more than ten years ago, and now the court's talent is withered!" Emperor Huiming sighed.

Liu Wenchao said: "The examiner Liu Fang was very successful this time, and the emperor hasn't rewarded him yet. Why don't you take advantage of the crown prince's birthday to have a happy one."

"Yes, Liu Aiqing is right, then let him serve as the Guozijian Festival Bar!"

Liu Fang said: "Thanks to the great love of the emperor and Master Liu, I have done my duty and dare not ask for credit."

Liu Wenchao said: "The emperor asked you to serve as the sacrificial wine, you can accept the order with peace of mind."

He looked at Liu Wenchao, puzzled in his eyes, he seemed to intend to promote himself, but right now he still said: "I thank the emperor."

At this time, Li Chen came back with a woman on his horse.

Li Chengyun walked to Liu Wenchao's side, and said in a low voice, "Mister named my horse, and I will show him a play."

Liu Wenchao was puzzled, but soon he knew what drama Li Chengyun was referring to.

The woman on the horseback was Yu Suiyan, she knelt on the ground and wept softly: "Please the emperor be the master of the slave."

Tang Weizhen asked Liu Wenchao in a low voice: "What's the situation, why is she here?"

"You ask me, I'll ask someone, and listen to what she has to say."

Emperor Huiming frowned and said, "Who are you?"

While wiping her tears, Yu Suiyan said: "I am Yu Suiyan, the flower leader of the Qingying Hall. This morning, I took wine to Huanli Mountain to visit my sister's grave. Unexpectedly, I was beaten halfway up the mountain and was knocked out. When I woke up, I found that I was lying in the Tai's womb."

Chen Xueliang said: "Why are you wearing the clothes of a court lady?"

Yu Suiyan: "When I woke up, I heard the maids say that today is the crown prince's birthday and he will be back very late, so I knocked out a maid and changed into her costume."

The queen said angrily: "Bold, you are a naughty woman who dares to hurt the palace lady, come here, take it down."

Yu Suiyan sniffed: "I have no other choice."

Chen Xueliang said again: "The imperial palace is so big, why did you come to the racecourse alone?"

Yu Suiyan replied: "I wanted to sneak out of the palace, but the palace is too big, so I lost my way."

At this time Li Chen said: "When I was riding a horse, I saw a court lady staring at me from a distance. I thought it was my father who sent someone to find me, so I stopped. As soon as I stopped, she fell to her knees with a plop. On the ground, I was taken aback, and after I asked the reason, I felt that the matter was related to the elder brother and should be handled by the elder brother, so I brought her here."

Emperor Huiming gave Li Changshuo a hard look: "Bastard, you don't learn the good ones, but learn how to be kidnapped by others. You have swallowed all the etiquette, morality and shame that Mr. taught you?"

Li Changshuo's legs softened, he knelt down, and howled, "Father, this is not someone who sent someone to tie her up. I don't even know her." He said: "It must be this guy who is good at making decisions. Liu wanted to please my son and minister, so he took her into the palace."

Feeling the gazes of everyone, the guard knew that he was humble and no one would believe what he said, so he knelt down and said: "My lord, it is the servant who made the decision privately and took people into the palace. Yes, I want to give the crown prince a surprise on his birthday in order to please him."

The Queen's guardian was eager, and ordered: "Come here, take this daring slave down and beat him to death with a stick."

Emperor Huiming looked deeply at the queen with anger in his eyes, but he didn't say anything in the end.

All the ministers knew well that the queen wanted to bring disaster to the east, and it was easy for anyone to become an official in such a high position.

Since the emperor himself didn't want to pursue it, everyone acted as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Only Li Chen said innocently: "Father, my son thinks this is rape..." Before he finished speaking, Li Chengyun hurried up and said: "Father, since the culprit has been executed, what should I do with this woman."

Emperor Huiming glanced at the two brothers Li Chengyun, then turned to the queen and said, "What does the queen think?"

The queen smiled on the surface and said: "The concubine thinks that although Yu Suiyan was kidnapped into the palace, she also injured the maid, so she will be fined thirty boards and let her go back!"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Suiyan trembled slightly, as an oiran, she was most afraid of getting some physical injuries, a delicate and weak woman, if she was beaten with thirty big boards, she would be disabled even if she didn't die, and I'm afraid she would be ruined for the rest of her life.

She glanced at Liu Wenchao quietly, wanting to ask him for help, but Liu Wenchao didn't look at her, her heart was ashamed, and she could only cry a thousand lines.

Just when she was about to accept this punishment, she heard Liu Wenchao say calmly: "I think blood is not visible on the prince's birthday."

Everyone echoed in a low voice: "It's true, it's unlucky to see blood on your birthday."

Emperor Huiming said, "Then what does Liu Aiqing think should be done?"

Liu Wenchao said slowly: "The guards postponed the execution until tomorrow. There is a reason why this woman injured the maid. Let her go out of the palace! It also makes people feel that the emperor is magnanimous."

Liu Wenchao's words were impeccable, he did not favor anyone, he also protected Yu Suiyan, and he flattered the emperor by the way.

Sure enough, the emperor relaxed his frowning eyebrows after hearing this, and saw Yu Suiyan kneeling on the ground crying pear blossoms and raining, very pitiful, a little heroism in the man's heart, and a heart of love and love was fully revealed, he loved the people around him Chen Qianning said: "Escort her back to Qingying Pavilion."

Since ancient times, heroes have always been sad about beauty, and it is not without reason.

Yu Suiyan stopped her tears, knelt down and thanked, and followed Chen Qianning out of the palace.

The good banquet was interrupted by this good show, Emperor Huiming didn't have the mood to stay any longer, he said coldly: "Go ahead, I still have court affairs to attend to."

The emperor left, and the queen did not stay here any longer, and left with the emperor.

The horses were ridden, and the play was watched, and everyone followed the prince to Fengtian Hall for a feast.

There were not many female relatives at the banquet, and Chen Xueliang's daughter was named Chen Jiaojiao. She was wearing a long pink dress, holding a round fan, and sat beside Chen Xueliang gracefully.

She covered her mouth with a round fan and asked in a low voice, "Father, is the king of Chu sitting on the lower left side of the crown prince?"

Chen Xueliang has only married one wife in his life, the marriage was arranged for him by Chen Xueliang's father back then, the two families are well-matched, and when they were young, they were also a pair of talented men and beautiful women who were envied by everyone in the capital.

It's a pity that after the wife gave birth to Chen Jiaojiao, her body was damaged and she couldn't give birth again.

Not only did Chen Xueliang not blame her, he even doted on her more than before, but his wife felt very guilty because she couldn't give birth to a son for Chen Xueliang, and soon died of depression.

Chen Xueliang was sad for a long time, depressed all day long, and after being comforted by friends, he still left a daughter. After that, Chen Xueliang doted on this daughter in every possible way and let her do everything.

Chen Xueliang took a sip of tea: "Exactly."

Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Has the King of Chu ever married?"

Hearing this, Chen Xueliang put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Some time ago, the emperor gave him a marriage."

Chen Jiaojiao couldn't hide her disappointment: "Oh!" Then she asked again: "Daddy, what do you think of King Chu?"

Chen Xueliang pondered for a while and said: "In terms of appearance, there are no princes in the palace who can't match them. They are talented! They are also one in a million."

"Then why don't you trust him, Dad, isn't it more suitable for the king of Chu to be the prince than the current prince?"

"One yard belongs to one yard. Every emperor of the Hua Kingdom has always established the eldest son as the prince, and the ancestral system cannot be abolished."

Chen Jiaojiao said dissatisfied: "Father, your idea is too pedantic. Which prince has the ability to make the prince the prince, isn't it better to pass on?"

"Jiaojiao! Things in the court are not as simple as you think. If everyone thinks like you, what is the purpose of setting up so many rules in the country? There is no rule without rules, so we, as ministers, must protect our ancestors. The country that has been laid down will go down steadily step by step."

Chen Jiaojiao is a boudoir girl, although she has great literary talents, she doesn't understand the political affairs, if it were Liu Wenchao and Chen Xueliang who had a clear talk, they would be able to argue well.

In Shenshi, after the banquet was over, everyone left. After Liu Wenchao and Tang Weizhen parted, they went back to Liu's mansion and remembered the young lady from yesterday, so he told Ji Rufeng to go to Nanyuan.

When walking halfway, he was blocked by someone, Liu Wenchao lifted the curtain and took a look: "King Chu, why did you stop my sedan chair?"
