first and second

===

After a day and a night of fermenting, on the second day, when the court was going to court in the hall, Wu Xiongjie, the commander of the imperial army, hurried in and knelt down on the ground, saying: "Your Majesty, it's not good, a group of people gathered outside the Meridian Gate." The common people are making trouble, and each of them holds a post from yesterday in their hands, shouting in unison that the prince broke the law and the same crime as the common people, and demanded that the emperor push the prince out and behead him."

When Emperor Huiming heard this, he was furious: "These gangsters are out of order." Then he pointed at Wu Xiongjie and said, "Why do I raise you people for food? Hurry up and drive them away."

"Wait," Liu Fang stood up and said, "Who is taking the lead?"

Chen Xiongjie said: "It's Song Ziyi among the four great talents in Beijing."

"Your Majesty," Liu Fang said, "Why don't you call Song Ziyi in and have a talk."

A smile flashed across Tang Weizhen's face, and he said, "Your Majesty, I think Zuodu Censor is right."

Everyone seconded their opinions one after another, but Chen Xueliang was the only one who was embarrassed. Li Changshuo had only been restored to the status of prince for a few days.

Chen Xiongjie brought Song Ziyi in, dressed like a scholar, wearing a hat and cloth clothes, with a thin figure.

Emperor Huiming had returned to his usual majestic appearance, and asked Song Ziyi who was kneeling under his highness: "Who ordered you to gather a crowd to make trouble, and if you did it, I will forgive you for your innocence. If not, the three clans will be destroyed according to the law. "

Song Ziyi said: "Your Majesty, the laws of the country of Hua also say that the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The prince raped the Juren Wen Yi and caused him to be killed indirectly, and he committed the crime of kidnapping, and the queen secretly bought the murderer several times. , These bloody truths can be ignored by the emperor, no matter what, it is not a big joke to talk about the law with the people now."

"Presumptuous," Ying Xin beckoned, all the guards in the dark hall came out and surrounded the three people, Ying Xin continued: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow you to beckon the Emperor like this."

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zi said to Emperor Huiming: "Your Majesty, according to my servants, I should arrest him and parade him through the streets to show the public, and then push him to the Meridian Gate to behead him, so as to serve as an example to others."

Song Ziyi said again: "An eunuch who is so blatant to talk about political affairs in the court will put Hua Guo in danger!"

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and all the ministers shrank, not daring to speak out.

Song Ziyi, who was kneeling, stood up unscrupulously, and said: "Xiaomin is just stating the facts. How can I say that if the emperor kills me today, what will the people of the world think of the emperor? They will say, the emperor is ok Don’t allow others to say a typo, the law is used to deal with the people, and they will say that the emperor is a tyrant.”

"Bold lunatic," Emperor Huiming's face became furious at the speed he saw: "I will kill him on the spot."

Chen Xueliang hurried forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, you can't kill him. The people in the whole city are watching, waiting for him to go out outside the palace gate."

"Haha" Song Ziyi mocked: "If you want to kill, just kill it. Do you think I will be afraid? Since I dared to step into this palace today, I have no intention of getting out alive."

"Kill," Emperor Huiming trembled with anger, drew out his sword on the spot, and said, "I despise the imperial power, I will destroy your nine clans, and destroy your nine clans."

All the ministers knelt down one after another and persuaded in unison: "The emperor calm down."

"Are you going to let such a troublesome person step on your head?" Emperor Huiming turned around, closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said angrily: "Come on, put him on death row. "

Two soldiers came up and grabbed Song Ziyi's left and right hands. Song Ziyi didn't have the slightest fear, and continued: "What kind of benevolent government, what laws, are all fake, and you are not even allowed to state the facts. How different are you from a tyrant? How different from a tyrant, ha! Ha ha."

The hall was quiet for a while, and all the officials knelt down, their heads tucked into their clothes, for fear that Emperor Huiming would chop off his head with a sword and move his head away.

After the imperial court was over, Liu Wenchao did not walk with Tang Weizhen. He didn't want the emperor to think that he and Tang Weizhen were plotting something at this juncture.

As soon as Liu Wenchao returned to the South Yard, Li Chengyun came to greet him, and the two of them lived like an ordinary 'couple'.

Li Chengyun saw that Liu Wenchao's face was not very good, and asked, "Did the emperor lose his temper because the people gathered together to make trouble?"

"Well," Liu Wenchao replied flatly: "The emperor also put Song Ziyi, one of the four great talents in the capital, on death row. It seems that we have to find another way to let this matter ferment again."

After Li Chengyun brought him to the dining hall, he said, "I have a way, but you have to finish the meal first."

Liu Wenchao stared at him for a moment, then suddenly frowned and laughed: "I found that you are more like the owner of this garden."

Li Chengyun gave him the cloth: "Then call me Lord Sheng."

"Your family is the cheapest in the world?" Liu Wenchao stuffed a piece of fat into Li Chengyun's mouth, and said, "Eat yours."

Li Chengyun let out a muffled laugh, and swallowed the fat in his stomach: "I am the only one in the world who is cheap, and you picked it up, and you made a lot of money."

"Come on, I think I picked up a beast." Liu Wen glanced at Ni and said expressionlessly, "Ever since you lived in Nanyuan, the red spots on my body haven't gone away. How have you gnawed into me before, don't you have any self-knowledge? Li Chengyun!"

"Hey, what do you want your husband to do!"

"You sleep in the guest room tonight." Liu Wenchao lost his temper completely, and ignored him without saying a word, picking up the rice in the bowl, without even looking at him, as if he didn't exist.

Li Chengyun is baffled, why did he let me sleep in the guest room?

"Qingchuan? Sir? Liu Wenchao?" Seeing that Liu Wenchao was still ignoring him and seeing no one around him, he hugged Liu Wenchao into his arms with lightning speed, forced him to sit on his lap, and said reluctantly : "The big deal is that I won't do anything tonight, just hug you to sleep, you see, it's okay."

"You put me down first,"

Li Chengyun was not moved at all, but hugged him tighter and tighter: "You promise first, and I will let you down if you promise."

Liu Wenchao forcibly broke free from his arms: "No, you have to sleep in the guest room tonight." After finishing speaking, he put down the dishes and hurried back to the bedroom.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Liu Wenchao was taken aback by the cold plum blossoms that came rushing towards him. He walked into the room and saw a large bunch of trimmed plum blossoms placed in a vase, placed on the table, and on the side table There was also a qin, and Liu Wenchao fiddled with the strings. Isn't this the qin in the Liu Mansion's study?At this moment, Li Chengyun came over from behind and said: "I still remember when I just came back, you played the piano for me when you had time to talk. I wonder if sir is free now?"

"If I said no, wouldn't it be a disappointment to your kindness?" Liu Wenchao turned around and smiled lightly: "It's just that it's boring to let me play the piano alone. Why don't His Highness King Chu give me a sword dance?"

Li Chengyun laughed lowly, looking tired and lazy: "I can't ask for it." Li Chengyun looked around: "I have to change places, this room is really small, and it will limit my performance."

Liu Wenchao said: "I think the plum garden in my garden is not bad."

The servants moved the qin, tables, and vases from the house to the plum garden one after another, and finally Liu Wenchao ordered them to fetch wine.

After everything was ready, Liu Wenchao sat cross-legged in the plum garden playing the piano in a snow-white cloak.

The heavens also came to make the beauty, and there was light snow falling. Liu Wenchao, who is usually awe-inspiring and upright, now looked gentle and elegant, and plucked the strings with his well-articulated fingers. All dimmed and lost their brilliance.The slightly raised corners of his mouth suggested that he was in a happy mood, and a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes focused on the sword-wielding man in front of him.

The man holds a long sword in his hand, and when he dances, the sword strikes like thunder, which takes one's breath away, causing the heaven and earth to rise and fall.Li Chengyun was dressed in tall black clothes, with a handsome face, his eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as a sword, and his whole body was like a cold sword without a sheath.Accompanied by the passionate sound of the zither, he danced his sword faster and faster. With a backflip, he came steadily in front of Liu Wenchao, pulled a sword flower, picked up the wine glass on the qin table with the tip of the sword, and handed it to Liu Wenchao: "But Still satisfied?"

Liu Wenchao slowly raised his head and looked at Li Chengyun. He was just standing casually, but he still couldn't stop the cold aura emanating from his body. The young master wins my heart." After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

The snow was still falling, and the heads of the two were covered with snowflakes.Li Chengyun was startled, was he molested by Liu Wenchao?He suddenly took a step forward, raised his hand to pull Liu Wenchao into his arms, pushed aside the wine glass, kissed him mouth to mouth, and snatched the little wine left in his mouth.

After a while, his eyes were full of romance: "The fine nectar is not as good as a drop of nectar from my sweetheart."

Liu Wenchao pretended to be calm and gathered his cloak, raised his hand and put it on his shoulder: "You performed well, you still have to sleep in the guest room."

Li Chengyun put his hand on the back of his hand and said meaningfully: "Okay, sir has the final say."

Liu Wenchao was a little surprised that he agreed so readily?This is not like his character, is he playing some crooked idea again?

Since Li Chengyun said last time that he was supposed to be on the top, he meant to put him on the top, he has always been skeptical about what Li Chengyun said in his spare time.

Li Chengyun said again: "Qing Chuan, I think you seem to be afraid of the cold, let's go back."

Ever since Liu Wenchao fell into the frozen lake when he was a child, he has always been afraid of the cold, and now he is indeed a little cold, so he obeyed Li Chengyun's words: "Let's go."

He didn't see a triumphant smile on the corner of Li Chengyun's mouth. Li Chengyun led Liu Wen towards the bedroom and said, "When we came out, I had people burn the floor to warm it up. Now it's just warm when we go back."

After the two left, someone cleaned up the plum garden. Not long after Liu Wenchao and Li Chengyun returned to the bedroom, the servants brought in the piano, wine and table.

Li Chengyun saw the wine on the case table, and poured himself a glass of wine to have a drink. He didn't persuade Liu Wenchao to drink, but said: "As for how to make people's troubles worse, let me tell you about mine." idea."

When Liu Wenchao saw that he was talking about business, his expression became serious: "You tell me, I'll listen." Seeing Li Chengyun drinking, he also filled his own glass.

The corners of Li Chengyun's mouth curled up slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
