Daiyu reads novels every day

But he saw that the blood on the head was still wet, obviously it was the crane grass that killed it.

When the two armies of Yongchen were fighting each other, they were already used to things like blood from human heads. They glanced over and couldn't help but let out a "huh".

Crane Grass grabbed the furoshiki, wiped his blood-free hands with a fairly clean surface, smiled and twisted the scar on his face, pointed at the head and said, "Do you recognize it? This is what you want Li Fuquan did it."

Once upon a time in the capital, Yong Chen had met this Li Fuquan from Yong Danyue's family.Li Fuquan was the most difficult link in the original investigation of the fraud case in the examination, even if he was relieved of his responsibility for investigating the case.This Li Fuquan has been operating in the Jiangnan area for a long time, and his disciples are all over the yamen. As long as he does not fail, anyone who comes to investigate the evidence will have to spend a lot of effort.

"You are really good." Yong Chen said with a smile: "Although this Li Fuquan is not a royal nobleman, he often goes out and needs two teams of guards to follow him."

Hecao laughed and said: "Could it be that when he raped a woman, those two teams of guards were also guarding the side, staring at him?" He kicked the bloody head and said coldly: "Both greedy and lustful I don't know how people with so many weaknesses can survive in the officialdom." He stared at Prince Yongzhan with a half-smile, "This year's court can't do it."

"I accept this great gift." Yong Chen signaled "Huang Niluo" to put the head away.

"The prince of the county, the young general, promises a thousand gold." Hecao stretched out his hands, and patted lightly like the way the two clapped their hands that day, ordering the big ship to dock, ordering people to send Yongchen and Prince Yongzhan, And Liu Wuhua and others got off the boat.

After getting off the boat, people from Yongan Zhuangzi came to pick him up; the people from Hecao escorted him for another journey, and they left after Yongan arrived at Zhuangzi.

Among the escorts was the young Cai Zeyan.

Yong Chen tried to persuade him to keep him, "Stay here and go back to the capital with me. Don't you just watch another person occupy the magpie's nest, rob your name, and also rob your relatives?"

Cai Zeyan bowed his head in silence, but his jaw was clenched with a stubborn arc.

"You have followed that young master for nearly ten years, but you haven't even taken a good look at your relatives." Yong Chen said earnestly: "I didn't understand this truth before. First, I was young, and second, my parents They are still there. It was not until Master Cai passed away a few days ago that I realized that if you don’t see many people now, you will never see them again; if you don’t do some things now, you will never do them again. Timing. Don't think that you are still young, and the days to come will be long. Between cause and effect, no one knows what will happen tomorrow."

Cai Zeyan was finally moved, but he still didn't say a word, with a great struggle on his face, obviously he was also making a difficult decision in his heart.

After a long time, he took off a jade ring from his neck, held it to Yongchen with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Please Your Highness, enshrine this in the Buddhist hall where my sister often goes, and bless her with a long life and peace." .” As he spoke, he turned around and walked away, as if he was afraid that if he was a second late, he would regret staying.

"I will stay in the south of the Yangtze River for ten months. If you change your mind, come here to find me." Yong Chen shouted at the young man's back, but saw the young man walking away even more hastily.

Yong Chen looked at the jade ring in the palm of his hand, and saw that the color of the red thread on which the jade ring was strung was already dull, obviously it was old for many years; the tentacles of the jade ring were warm, round and smooth, obviously they were often rubbed and played with by people.Perhaps it is a treasure handed down from the Cai family.Thinking of this, Yong Chen carefully put away the jade ring.

This place is already Gusu City in Suzhou.

"Yellow Loach" stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the manor.

This is many years ago, in order to testify for Yong Chen, Su Zimo found out the crime of Mr. Li, but he also blew himself up for stealing and stealing erotic pictures, and was dismissed.At that time, Yongchen yearned for Sister Lin's hometown, Gusu; he used the money he earned from running several shops in Kyoto to give Su Zimo to buy a Zhuangzi for himself in Gusu.

Now that Zhuangzi has begun to take shape, it is only placed under the name of a wealthy household in Gusu. Almost no one knows the relationship between this Zhuangzi and Yongchen.

It was night, and the two brothers went to the garden in the moonlight.

Yongchen pointed to the flowers and trees everywhere, reflecting the appearances reported by Su Zimo in the blueprints, "This is a ginkgo forest, but it is still young and has not yet matured. Wait a few years, if autumn comes Look, a yellow leaf is so beautiful."

Prince Yongzhan listened with a smile, and slowly moved his left arm. The injury has gradually healed, but he was not very flexible when he moved.

Arriving at a gazebo, the two of them went in to rest for a while.

"This gazebo has not been named yet." Yong Chen said with a smile: "In my house in Kyoto, there is an attic named 'Yinqing Pavilion', which is already my acme. I also thought about letting Su Zimo call it One, it’s less meaningful. Just now that my brother is here, let’s ask him to give me a name.”

Prince Yongzhan joked in a rare way: "I guess it should have no name. How about calling it 'Wuming Pavilion'?"

"Why not?" Yong Chen laughed.

After laughing, both of them fell silent.

This moment of easy chatting is like sunshine on the ice, it looks beautiful, but there is a life-threatening danger hidden underneath.

Is it because Yong Chen's energy-raising skills are not as good as the prince's elder brother, so he asked first: "Brother should have known about Cai Zeyan for a long time."

"It's not too early." Prince Yongzhan was not surprised by his question.

"when?"

"Concubine Shu pointed out Cai Hui to you." Prince Yongzhan said slowly, "I have someone check her, and everyone else is fine, but she is not as close to her younger brother as outsiders think. Her younger brother is getting older. , she almost never met with her. If she had to meet and talk, it would be through a screen. I thought it was wrong. From here, I chased back layer by layer, and I knew that there was something wrong."

"But you don't have to tell me."

The crown prince Yongzhan seemed a little apologetic, "I know that Mr. Cai passed away not long ago. You were already sad... I didn't find the right time to tell you. Besides, if this secret is exposed, how can we deal with the aftermath? You also need to think about it—don’t be rash.”

Yong Chen bowed his head and said nothing, then said again after a while: "I don't like Liu Wuhua very much."

"I know." Prince Yongzhan smiled and said lightly: "His injury is almost healed——he will leave in a few days."

Yong Chen has nothing to say.

In the silence, Prince Yongzhan was not in a hurry, and made tea in a soothing manner.

"The crane grass..." Yong Chen brought it up on his own initiative. When the prince's elder brother asked that day, he avoided the question by saying that the people on board were too noisy and didn't answer, but now he said: "I didn't intend to make a sincere relationship with him. The oath, but only for this moment. Who knows that he sent two big gifts in a row - one saved the real Cai Zeyan and brought him up, I can't help but thank him on behalf of Mr. Cai; How much trouble did we have?"

Prince Yongzhan listened quietly, and asked at the right time, "Now that he has given you two big gifts, what are your plans?":

Yong Chen smiled wryly and said: "I'm also in a dilemma. Do you know the enmity between this crane grass and Brother Sixteen?"

"Know a thing or two."

"Although I have a normal relationship with Brother Sixteen, we are brothers after all. I wouldn't sell out my brotherhood for the sake of being a former young master." Yong Chen laughed at himself, "My brother told me not to seek skins from tigers, but I At the beginning, I didn't even think about planning with him. Now I really have to accept his love."

"so?"

"So... let's take one step at a time." Yong Chen was a little downhearted.

"Since that Crane Grass has believed in you, tell me now, how will you hand over Yongyi to him after the matter is completed?" Prince Yongzhan asked leisurely, but Yongchen's heart stopped for a breath in shock. .

What kind of position would someone be able to hand over a prince to Jiang Hu's reckless disposal?In this world, only one person has such terrible power.

Yong Chen's expression remained unchanged, he smiled and said: "Then what else is there to do? Just like that Li Fuquan, who is greedy for money and lust, he was found by Hecao and took the head of the item? If I sincerely want to kill sixteenth brother, there are plenty of ways Let the crane grass approach him."

Prince Yongzhan looked at him calmly, thought slowly and said: "Your words are probably not true."

"Don't dare to lie to brother again." Yong Chen grinned.

"You really don't dare?"

Yong Chen was intimidated by his gaze, and couldn't nod his head for a moment.

Prince Yongzhan smiled slightly, and instead of poking him out, he pushed a cup of freshly brewed tea over and said softly, "Taste this Dongting Biluochun."

Yong Chen's stomach full of words was suppressed by this cup of tea.

"Do you recognize this teapot?" Prince Yongzhan only showed him, and seeing Yongchen shaking his head, he smiled and said, "I just saw a cow chewing peonies today. Su Zimo racked his brains to buy what he bought - in your eyes, I'm afraid It is no different from ordinary objects."

"My brother laughed at me."

Prince Yongzhan shook his head and said: "It's not true. Teapots are teapots. The purple teapots handed down hundreds of years ago, and the loess teapots in every household in Tiancheng Lane are all used to make tea. Just like people Ordinary, there is an ordinary nose and two eyes, so why bother to distinguish between high and low?"

Yong Chen wanted to agree, but he heard Prince Yong Zhan say again: "It's just that if you want to make good Biluochun tea, you must use this purple teapot."

After hearing this, Yongchen vaguely felt that there was some deep meaning in the words of the prince's elder brother, but he didn't dare to think about it for a while, pointing to the front and said: "Then it was originally planned to dig a lotus pond. Now the lotus pond has been dug out. It’s just that the living water hasn’t been brought in yet, it’s just empty.” He smiled and said, “It’s rare to see such a big pit. Brother, do you want to take a look?”

Prince Yongzhan is as good as others.

The two brothers stood side by side on the edge of the half-deep pit, the bright moon above their heads was tall and small.

"It's a good place to bury the corpse." Yong Chen suddenly said.

A gust of night wind blows.

Prince Yongzhan said: "Sure enough, the corpse is buried, I'm afraid the lotus will bloom even more."

Yongchen shuddered.

"It's getting cold at night, let's go back and rest." Prince Yongzhan saw that Yongchen was still looking at the deep pit, and said again: "If you really want to see lotus, there is actually one in the Changchun Garden in the capital. When we return to the capital, we will I'll take you to see it."

Only then did Yongchen rejoice, and walked back behind the prince's elder brother, he asked again: "Since Li Fuquan is dead, shouldn't our investigation be much faster?" How do I deal with the aftermath, my brother can think clearly—how to deal with the aftermath?"

"The secret must not be leaked." Prince Yongzhan made a rare joke, and then lightly reprimanded: "You just don't want to think about it yourself."

"My brother is here." Yong Chen also joked: "I only listen to my brother."

The next day, when Yongan woke up, he heard that Liu Wuhua had left; when he opened the window, he felt refreshed, even the sky was a bit bluer.

Yongchen took the elder brother of the prince first, seeing that he only read books and painted paintings every day, so he guarded Zhuangzi not to go out, or practiced Bajiquan, or read a few "Wuyue Art of War".It's just that from time to time, Prince Yong Zhan would call Yong Chen to him, take out a few passages from the book to quiz him, and ask him to explain the meaning;This Zhuangzi, which was originally built for the purpose of cultivating one's temperament, suddenly became the Imperial Academy, which caught Yong Chen by surprise and made him dumbfounded.

Although he can't laugh or cry, Yong Chen still accepts the "examination" honestly; it's rare that the prince's elder brother has such a sense of elegance, so why would he not accompany him?

After four or five days of such a peaceful and comfortable life, it was broken by the local officials who came to the door.

At this time, the news from the capital finally reached the city of Gusu in Suzhou: the concubine De, the fifth prince, the ninth prince, and the uncle of the country were all imprisoned by a high wall, and the sixteenth princes followed the emperor to study every day... His Royal Highness the Prince of Jiangnan and King Yongjun disappeared at the Plum Blossom Ferry.

In this chaos, Li Fuquan, governor of Liangjiang, was suddenly cut off from his head at home.

Hecao didn't hide his whereabouts after the murder, and Yong Chen and others didn't deliberately hide when they went ashore to enter the village, so they followed the clues - an official who can do it with a single person, just found this big village that has not yet formed.

The Gusu county magistrate led the yamen up and down, went to the village, knelt down and knocked on the door; while the governor of Suzhou was still on his way.

Yongchen didn't allow anyone to answer the door, and officials outside didn't dare to trespass. They just knelt outside and waited, constantly writing notes and asking the gatekeeper to pass them in.

After a day like this, even the governor of Suzhou also knelt outside, "My lord, I don't know if His Royal Highness is coming..." Before he could finish speaking, the gatekeeper inside said loudly: "Our Highness has ordered, what are you doing? If you want to say something, write it down and hand it in. Don’t make any noise in front of the door, it will disturb His Highness’s peace.”

"Yes, yes." The governor of Suzhou was a fat man, wiping the sweat from his face, and said with a smile through the door: "Excuse me, this little brother inside, help me pass a message to His Royal Highness King Yongjun. Back then, Lin Ruhai, Mr. Lin, was in the aunt. Su Shi, he and I are friends by obeisance..."

"Talk again, and I'll blow people up!"

The governor of Suzhou knelt back obediently, picked up the brush with his fat fingers, and began to write the notebook with sweat.

Another day later, Su Danmo, Lianxi, Qin Baiyu and others who were separated at the inn also came to the door - as soon as the memorial was handed over, Yongchen naturally ordered these people to come in.

When Lianxi saw Yong Chen, it was no surprise that she cried again.

"I thought you drowned in that river." Lianxi sniffled, and a large tear rolled out in the blink of an eye.

"Can't you hope that your master will be better?" Yong Chen said deliberately disgusted: "It's ugly to cry, why don't you go wash up and serve the master?"

In contrast, Su Danmo was much more mature when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince, please be well, and even came to ask Yongchen what he would like to have for dinner.

"Brother Prince, how long do you want them to kneel outside?"

Prince Yongzhan frowned and flipped through the files that were sent in these two days, and instead of answering questions, he pointed to the files and said, "Come and see here, do you have any inside information?"

Yongchen leaned over to look, but saw that it was the case before the fraud case in the imperial examination, and the place that the prince brother pointed to was the part where Li Fuquan impeached Zhang Jilun, the informant.

Li Fuquan impeached Zhang Jilun, saying: "At the first trial, I was still examining the prisoners. Zhang Jilun said that my words were inappropriate. I was afraid that it would be inappropriate to argue, so I kept silent. Zhang Jilun conspired to frame him and won 50 silver by selling his title. Wan Liang will damage my reputation, so I can't coexist with him." At the same time, it was mentioned that Zhang Jilun specialized in writing books, was suspicious and foolish, and could not handle cases well.

Yong Chen said: "No matter what, Li Fuquan is already dead."

Prince Yongzhan shook his head, and clicked on the next line, but it was recorded that: Li Fuquan said: ""Xishan Ji" was rigidly printed in Suzhou. Could it be that Zhang Jilun didn't know? Zhang Jilun has always been in contact with him, and he is unwilling to arrest and punish him." He also listed several things about his incompetence.

"How long has it been since Zhu Qilun was convicted for his poetry?" Yong Chen said angrily, "This Li Fuquan deserves to die."

"That's it." Prince Yong Zhan said slowly: "One is that we can't recreate the literary inquisition; the other is..." He smiled and glanced at Yong Chen, "This Li Fuquan's family has a lot of money. Go and copy his Home, this Zhuangzi should be repaired."

The failure of Zhuangzi to take shape may be due to the immaturity of age. From the perspective of Prince Yongzhan, it is impossible to see that Zhuangzi was stretched when it was built.Thinking about it, Yongchen has been a prince without a government for many years, and he has no official position. He only works in the army but is definitely not a person who is not paid for nothing. Preparing birthday gifts for his elder brother will consume most of the proceeds, so how much money is left to spend on repairing the Zhuangzi?

Yong Chen giggled, "If you put it this way, my money for repairing Zhuangzi is considered to be a clear path."

"It's what you deserve." Crown Prince Yongzhan smiled, teasing him lightly, "Hecao killed Li Fuquan, most of it is your credit."

Seeing that the topic was going badly, Yong Chen didn't dare to say any more, so he found a reason to hide.

Prince Yongzhan looked at his fleeing back, with a half-smile on his face.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Zhang Jilun's memorabilia came in, that Prince Yongzhan ordered the gate of the villa to be opened for all officials to congratulate.

Although all the officials were allowed to enter, the crown prince Yongzhan did not show up, and only asked Su Danmo to read out his edict.

"Gu has sent people to thoroughly investigate the fraud case in the examination room, and found out that the deputy examiner editor and others colluded to accept bribes. Zhang Jilun wanted to investigate the case to the end, but Li Fuquan was very angry and sentenced the witnesses, forcing the case to stop. There was Zhang Jilun who impeached Li Fuquan, saying that there were rumors in the outside world that the governor, supervisors, and officials were secretly accepting bribes and betraying people. When the matter was revealed, it was said that the governor Li Fuquan extorted 50 taels of silver. Now Li Fuquan was killed by rebels and bandits. However, we can't atone for his crimes, and now the king of Yongjun is ordered to lead troops to search Li's mansion."

All officials let out a restless commotion.

"Father also once said that Li Fuquan has more than enough talents, but his nature likes to make trouble out of nothing. I impeached Zhang Bojilun several times, and I personally ordered him not to approve it because Zhang Jilun's behavior is the best in the world. Now I have ordered Jiuqing, Zhan Shi, Ke The Taoist officials will review and report again. Li Fuquan's conduct is unbelievable. If there is no Zhang Jilun, then when Li Fuquan is alive, Jiangnan will inevitably be exploited by him, and it will probably reach half of the area. Li Fuquan wanted to frame him because of his prestige. He found out that the poem he wrote in Huqiu contained absurd sentences, and he wanted to investigate and deal with Xishan Ji according to the words. Looking at the poem alone, it had no other meaning. He also impeached the Chinese army Lieutenant General Qin Baiyu is very bad at horseback riding and archery. When Qin Baiyu was in the army before, King Yong used horseback riding and archery to test him. He was very good. If Li Fuquan were to compete with him, he would definitely not be as good as Qin Baiyu. Gu has been suspicious since then Li Fuquan is gone. In the case of mutual impeachment, even though Li Fuquan passed away unexpectedly, you must be considerate of the lonely and upright officials, and let the upright people have no doubts and fears, then the world will enjoy stability and happiness."

This is according to the meaning of Prince Yongzhan, completely according to his dictation, and it is more direct to people's hearts than the one modified with words.

"Zhang Jilun's behavior is trustworthy, and the rest of the case will be handed over to Zhang Jilun. I will only stay here for ten months, and I can understand the mood of you coming to pay respects. However, following the will of the father, coming to the south of the Yangtze River will only There is no reason to meet with you when dealing with serious cases of malpractices. It is better to let nature take its course. Moreover, the concubine Demu passed away, and the second younger brother was imprisoned by a high wall, feeling palpitating alone. Congratulations. Since you have been sincere for three days at the door, I have this imperial edict, which tells you clearly about the case that you are worried about, and also expresses my heart. After you go back, you will be sincere for the people and discern every detail. You are not alone. Even the king of Yongjun is thinking of you. I will return to Beijing in the lonely month, and you don't have to come again."

After the decree was read out, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Su Danmo said again: "My lords, please walk this way with our house..." He led the crowd to stop beside the "lotus pond" where only a hole has been dug but no water has been diverted, and he said: "His Royal Highness Prince Yong also has something to say. Let our family tell all the adults: If you do something wrong again, jump into this pit by yourself as soon as possible, and use it as fertilizer for my lotus! The prince brother said that the lotus blooms only when people are buried underneath. It's getting bigger and bigger!"

All the ministers had heard of the nickname "Living King of Hell" in the army of King Yongjun, and they stopped clamoring to congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Only the fat white man, the governor of Suzhou, was worried, and he followed Su Danmo, trying to please him, "Eunuch, you see—this is not the reason for His Royal Highness to live in Tuzhuangzi, you see, it is the government office, or ..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Danmo waved his whisk and said in a modest tone: "This Zhuangzi was built by His Royal Highness Prince Yong."

"Ah..." The sweat on the face of the governor of Suzhou became more urgent, like steamed buns just out of the oven, and the top of his head seemed to be steaming, "I'm rude to you." Lifting the sedan chair, he left without looking back.

For Yong Chen, who is used to fighting on the battlefield, ransacking his home is really an easy job.What's more, now that the concubine De has passed away, the fifth and ninth princes have been imprisoned, and Li Fuquan has been killed again, the entire Li family is that "tree falls and macaques are scattered". None escaped.

On the contrary, it took some time to count the family property later on. Qin Baiyu led people to count for four or five days before counting the warehouse.

After counting for the night, Yong Chen added the "two million taels" of Li Fu's family property to five, leaving one point for himself and half of the prince's brother, and turned it into "one million taels".With money in his pocket, Yong Chen was happy, and when he returned to Zhuangzi, he rushed to find the elder brother of the prince, but he saw the prince Yong Zhan writing a memorial under the lamp.

"Are you back?" Prince Yong Zhan heard the footsteps, and slowly finished writing this sentence, then raised his head, seeing Yong Chen's face full of joy, he smiled and said, "Are you still satisfied?"

Yong Chen was a little embarrassed, "I really didn't expect Li Fuquan to be so greedy."

Prince Yongzhan just smiled, and said: "Let's go back to Beijing tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Yong Chen was stunned, "Then—"

"what?"

"Is the matter in Jiangnan over?"

"It's over for now. What?"

"What you said before - how to soothe the hearts of scholars who have been chilled; how to deal with the aftermath of the major scientific examination fraud case..."

Prince Yongzhan blew on the ink on the memorabilia in front of him, and signaled: "It's all here."

"Submit it to the royal father?"

"Exactly."

Yongchen muttered: "Since we are all in Jiangnan, wouldn't it be cheaper to finish here."

"You don't want to go back to Kyoto?"

This hit Yong Chen's mood.

Compared with the turbulent Kyoto, this distant Jiangnan seems like a dream.

Prince Yongzhan bowed his head again and wrote the memorial.

Yong Chen looked at his shadow under the lamp, and sighed, the prince's brother's sense of proportion is really beyond compare.The emperor's father is healthy and the court is unstable. At this time, the last thing the emperor wants is a prince who wins people's hearts.However, the prince who has no idea of ​​winning people's hearts is obviously not what an emperor wants to see.So the prince brother will write down the corresponding aftermath measures and present them to the father. As for the father to read, whether to order the prince to implement it, or another prince and minister, is another matter.

Or, the father will hold back until the dragon returns to the sea, leaving the future new king a chance to be kind.

Emperor Jinglong's suspicion is well known; but who can nip the emperor's suspicion in the bud like Prince Yongzhan?

"What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied." Prince Yong Zhan closed the memorial, looked up at Yong Chen, his eyes were smiling under the candlelight, and he was clearly a good young man in a troubled world.

Who would have guessed that such a person who looks like a banished fairy grew up in the dirtiest and most complicated place in the human heart?

Yong Chen smiled and said: "I want to go back to Beijing so early, but I can't see this lotus pond growing."

"I said I would take you to Changchun Garden to watch lotuses—I remember that there seemed to be black boats in the lake over there." Prince Yongzhan stood up and walked around to stretch his muscles. "Once upon a time there was an old concubine from Jiangnan. When she arrived in Kyoto, she missed the awning boat in her hometown even more. In order to satisfy her wish, she ordered a craftsman to make a special awning boat and put it in the lotus pond in Changchun Garden."

"I didn't know there was such a story."

"Few people know about it." Prince Yongzhan said slowly: "Later, the old concubine interfered in the government and was buried in the pond by the newly succeeded Emperor Gaozong. It was in the lotus pond in Changchun Garden."

"If you say that, Concubine De is dead now, it's an advantage."

"Blessings and misfortunes," Prince Yongzhan rubbed the fingers of his left hand with his right hand, looked at his faintly pink nails, and sighed, "Who can tell clearly about the cycle of cause and effect."

If it wasn't for the beautiful face of the old concubine when she was young, how could there be a black boat on the Changchun Garden; Intervene in politics; if there is no old concubine to intervene in politics, there will be no such thing as Gaozong's order to sink the pond.But who can say that having a good face is a bad thing?

Prince Yong Zhan looked at Yong Chen and asked, "Why are you still depressed?"

"This road was burned and flooded, or we closed our doors in Zhuangzi to thank guests. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River is so boring, it's as if we have never been here before."

Prince Yongzhan couldn't help laughing, "This is really a child's talk. It's different after all." He thought for a while and asked, "Have you read Tao Hongjing's "Thanks to Zhongshu"?" ?”

Yong Chen scratched his head, "I seem to have heard it, but I can't remember it."

"Tao Hongjing called Jiangnan the 'City of Immortals in the World of Desire'. Well, let me recite it for you. If you memorize this chapter clearly, it will be the same as swimming in Jiangnan." Prince Yongzhan said in a manly voice: "The beauty of mountains and rivers , have been discussed since ancient times. The peak enters the clouds, and the clear stream sees the bottom. The stone walls on both sides of the strait are colorful. The green forests and bamboos are ready for all seasons. The dawn mist will rest, and the apes and birds will sing in disorder; The fairy capital of the world. Since Kangle, there has never been anyone who can match it.”

After finishing the recitation, Prince Yong Zhan only looked at Yong Chen with a smile.

Yong Chen said with a smile: "Brother recites it nicely. It's just that I want to tell the truth—it's different from what I've been there before."

Prince Yongzhan was a little stunned, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then said in relief: "That's right."

"what?"

"This is the difference between you and me." Prince Yongzhan said with a smile: "It has always been a temperament to go wherever you want and do whatever you want." He lowered his head, still smiling, and said in his voice There was a bit of envy.

Yongchen also understood that the prince's elder brother had been detained in the palace since he was a child, and this trip to the south of the Yangtze River was the first time he had left the boundary of the capital in nearly thirty years.The elder brother of the prince who grew up like this, if he wants to see the scenery and people outside, he can only read it from the book, imagine it in his head, and try to figure it out on the painting.That's why the prince brother felt that after reading an excellent poem about a scene, it was no different from being here.

Thinking of this, Yong Chen smiled and said: "I only remember the fun ones, such as the dialogue between two people, as written in "Shishuoxinyu · Words": "Wang Zijingyun: "From the mountain□□, the mountains and rivers The reflection of each other makes people overwhelmed, especially in autumn and winter." "Gu Changkang returned from Kuaiji, and people asked about the beauty of mountains and rivers. Gu Yun: "Thousands of rocks compete for beauty, and thousands of valleys compete for flow''."

Prince Yongzhan knew his intentions, and said slowly: "Actually speaking, Yangzhou is the most prosperous south of the Yangtze River. Yangzhou is the place where the wealth of the world gathers. The terrain of Su is different from the north to the south, and they are all close to the sea and across the river. , the mountains are far away, and the lakes and marshes are lingering; Zhejiang has quiet mountains and rivers, and those adjacent to Jiangxi and Fujian are also deep and beautiful. It is really the hinterland of the empire."

"Brother is tired of judging cases these days, and he said that scenery can also mention state affairs." Yong Chen avoided talking about it, and said: "Leaving tomorrow, I will go and tell the people below to pack their bags." After saying that, he withdrew, He even forgot to say that Li Fuquan's family property should be divided into half of the prince's brother.

Until the next day, Yong'an and others were already on their way back to Beijing, but the boy whose real name was Cai Zeyan never appeared.Yong Chen put down the car curtain, couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and sighed.

This sigh was quickly blown away by the wind.

On the way back to Beijing, everything went smoothly, and there was no one who didn't have good eyesight. Compared with the torture on the way to the south of the Yangtze River, the way back was like a fairyland on earth.

At the end of April, when Xiao He was just showing her sharp horns, Prince Yong Zhan and Yong Chen arrived in Kyoto safely.

Today's Kyoto is very different from the Kyoto when they left.

Yong Chen, who had just returned to the county prince's mansion, didn't feel it yet, but was stunned when he heard Su Zimo say that Mr. Cai would enter the mansion to study in three days.

That's right, this was promised to Cai Hui before leaving Beijing, but the young master of the Cai family who came here is actually the fake Cai Zeyan who has occupied the magpie's nest.

Recalling the words of the prince's elder brother, the prince's elder brother realized that something was wrong because Cai Hui's attitude towards his younger brother was too alienated. Obviously, Cai Hui also noticed that this younger brother was not his own younger brother; hide in my heart.

Yongchen took out the jade ring entrusted to him by the real Cai Zeyan in front of Zhuangzi in Gusu.

Is it because the jade ring is missing, the eight-year-old Cai Hui has seen something strange in it as early as nearly ten years ago?However, she chose not to speak.

Yong Chen put himself in his shoes and thought for a while, only to feel that this concentration is really terrifying.

***

Rongguofu.

"Well, my Baoyu, because of what happened last time, the master almost killed the servant." Mingyan hugged Baoyu's waist tightly and refused to let him mount the horse, "Where are you going again? Tell the servant , Let the servant be a sensible ghost even if he dies."

"Hurry up and keep your voice down!" Baoyu hurriedly ordered him to shut up, and said bitterly: "I have to go home and learn to read. Now I am not allowed to have a cup of tea with my former classmates? You just get out of the way." I’m just going to the Yulin Bookstore—how can Uncle Xue go to places like Yihong Courtyard every day and no one cares about it, and I’m going to the library, so it’s worth stopping me like this?”

Baoyu got on his horse and disappeared.

Mingyan couldn't stop him, fearing that something might happen, she hurried to the mansion to find the attacker for advice.

But Baoyu hurried, and finally arrived at Yulin Academy at the appointed time. When he went up to the second floor, he saw Cheng Ye was already waiting in the private room.

Since the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince were imprisoned by the high wall, the two princes were also imprisoned together.

In the past, the fifth prince appointed Cheng Ye, the son of the dead Jiang family, to be his son, but by mistake, Cheng Ye escaped the fate of being imprisoned.

However, compared to the time when no accident happened, this Cheng Ye looked much more haggard, and he was so thin that he didn't look good.

Seeing Baoyu coming, Cheng Ye poured the wine himself and said with tears, "Since the accident, I can't even find anyone to talk to."

"Your Majesty is a lucky man, so he will be able to turn bad luck into good fortune and get out of trouble." Baoyu comforted him.

Cheng Ye shook his head, and said again: "In the past, Cheng Ju was the son of the eldest son in the mansion, but now Cheng Ju and his father are all locked inside, the eldest brother is always indifferent." And he stuttered.

"In the family of the Fifth Highness, there is only the third brother." Baoyu wanted him to cheer up, "All the relatives in the house are counting on you."

"Yeah, I'm the only one in the house now." Cheng Ye's eyes lit up after drinking.

After all, it was years of classmates, Baoyu said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Yong have both returned to Beijing. I have a cousin who is somewhat related to His Royal Highness Yong Jun—a few months ago, Prince Yong Before His Highness left Beijing, he even visited my aunt and cousin. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my mother to ask my uncle for a favor..." He said this, and he also felt that the relationship was too far away, and it seemed that the effect would not be ideal.

"Yes, His Royal Highness, Prince Yong." Cheng Ye slowly drank the wine in his glass, as if a torch was burning in his eyes, he murmured: "If it weren't for them, how could I be the only one left in the mansion?" What about one?"

"what?"

Cheng Ye's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "It's nothing, I seem to be a little drunk."

"I know you're bored. Just don't be too greedy." Baoyu sighed and said, "My family will definitely not allow me to go to the study room anymore. Although we can't study together every day, if you have something difficult to solve, just Send people to look for me, as long as I can come out, I will come."

Cheng Ye's eyes were red, and he was still a young man who was not weak. "Thank you."

Suddenly, the commotion downstairs was gradually heard, and the sound of firecrackers came again.

Cheng Ye was startled, and asked anxiously, "What is this for?"

Baoyu saw it in his eyes, and felt sorry in his heart. The emperor's grandson, who was like a spring breeze, has now become a frightened bird. Because he walked to the window and looked at it, he turned around and smiled and said, "He is a person who went to a Buddhist temple to pray." After thinking about it, he said : "It seems to be a big day. I seem to have heard from the maid at home that all the sisters and cousins ​​at home will also go."

In the small meditation room in Nanshan Buddhist Temple, Daiyu invited Cai Hui to speak.

"When I followed my grandmother to pay respects to the Buddha, I occasionally met my sister a few times. I wanted to get close, but there was no chance. This time it was a coincidence." Daiyu pushed the lottery on the Zen table, "I just told you If you want to meet a nobleman, you will meet your sister."

Cai Hui was dressed in plain clothes, and said softly: "It was I who should have given
