To The Land of Nevernight

Tang Shen spoke with sincerity and sincerity.

Wang Qin looked at him quietly, with deep affection in his eyes, he suddenly smiled.

Tang Shen's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "What are you laughing at, senior brother?"

Wang Qin: "Then, how much does Master Su occupy in my junior brother's heart?"

Tang Shen didn't even think about it: "How much is it? Not a single point!" How could he have Su Wenyun in his heart, the two of them are not even friends.

Wang Qin sighed and said, "Then it seems that I have no place in my junior brother's heart."

"what?"

"Junior brother said, in your heart, Mr. Su is less than one ten-thousandth of mine. That is to say, compared with Mr. Su, junior brother thinks that I am ten thousand times more important than him." Wang Qin showed a moved expression, but he Before he was moved for a while, he said in a resentful tone: "Since Mr. Su is zero, his ten thousand times, isn't it still zero?"

Tang Shen: "..."

Knowing that you are good at arithmetic, you can shut up.

It was getting late, Wang Qin didn't stay any longer, Tang Shen sent him away.The two bid farewell outside the door, Wang Qin said: "Little brother, although June has arrived, there is no spring in Youzhou outside the Great Wall, and Shengjing is different. Change your clothes, don't be the same as usual."

Tang Shen was stunned: "Brother?"

Wang Qin smiled: "Don't give it away."

Tang Shen stood at the door, watching Wang Qin leave.

After returning to the house, Tang Shen frowned, he thought for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "I obviously wanted to say something, but I didn't say it completely, Wang Zifeng really... It's been four years, this person can't say a word. Human talk!" But Tang Shen also understood that some things were not convenient for Wang Qin to say, or maybe he just liked to tease him like this.Looking at Tang Shen's stunned and bewildered expression, he may have a sense of accomplishment.

It can't be blamed on Tang Shen always thinking of teasing his senior brother, the so-called "the first teaser is cheap", obviously it is Wang Zifeng who always teases him, so he wants to fight back occasionally.

"Shengjing has changed? What's different?"

If it was Wang Qin's last sentence, Tang Shen probably figured out some meaning, then what they said about Su Wenyun earlier made Tang Shen's expression gradually turn cold.He thought of all the information he had collected in the past few years about the first prince, Zhong Daru, about the first emperor, about the first empress, and even about the palace change.

Su Wenyun is only 26 this year, so the palace change 31 years ago has nothing to do with him.But Wang Qin said that Su Wenyun was ruthless and unscrupulous.All the things that Zhao Fu wanted to do but was inconvenient to do were entrusted to Su Wenyun to do.

"Brother, what he said seems to mean something. What happened 31 years ago has nothing to do with Su Wenyun. Five years ago, Zhong Taisheng died in prison... Does it have anything to do with him?"

Tang Shen closed his eyes, and he let out a long sigh.As soon as he closed his eyes, there seemed to be another low and helpless voice in his ear, that voice laughed and cursed at him: "It's alright!"

To this day, Tang Shen has almost forgotten what Liang Song said to him back then, but he still remembers that Liang Song told him again and again not to meddle in the affairs of the first prince.He only hoped that Tang Shen would become a rich man in peace, even if he died for righteousness, he didn't want Tang Shen to get involved.

"But how can I do it?"

The more he knew about the palace coup, the more frightened Tang Shen became.

Liang Song felt that Zhong Taisheng was wronged, so the former prince must also be wronged.But back then, the princelings were in full swing, and Zhao Fu alone could never do it if he wanted to murder the princelings.Behind him, there must be other pushers.

What is the truth?

This was a dragon pool and tiger den, but Tang Shen had to sneak into it alone.

On the other side, after Wang Qin returned to the room, he did not rest and fall asleep immediately.He called Lin Xu, an official from the Yinyin Division.Lin Xu saluted respectfully, and Wang Qin asked him, "How many people are there who went to the capital of the Liao Kingdom in the twelfth lunar month of last year?"

Lin Xu answered with a number.

Wang Qin: "It's just that I didn't know that Yelushe, the second prince of the Liao Kingdom, is a broken sleeve."

Hearing this, Lin Xu was also shocked. He subconsciously looked at Wang Qin, because he knew that Wang Qin also had the habit of Longyang, and many officials had speculated about this.What is the meaning of what Wang Qin said suddenly now?

"Master Shangshu, this is the first time that the lower officials know about this. Brother Yelushe's family has a concubine Ji. I'm afraid the matter is not simple."

"Even if the prince of a country has broken sleeves, he should have some cover up." Wang Qin thought for a while, "Brother Yelushe seems to be quite interested in Qiao Jiu's 'son'?"

Lin Xu didn't even know about this.

Wang Qin said with a smile: "I have to see you anyway, Mr. Su must be on guard. Holding Zuo Pingzhang's handle on political affairs may not be able to handle the errand to the extreme. You send someone to Xijin Mansion to inform Mr. Su, Mr. Tang will return to Beijing soon, whether Qiao Jiu's 'son' should show his face or die suddenly is up to him."

Lin Xu: "How should I say it?"

Wang Qin thought for a while and said, "Just be honest."

"Yes."

By the time this message reached Xijin Mansion, three days had passed.

Qiao Jiu gradually gained Xiao Zhen's trust, and Lu Shen and others gained a firm foothold in Xijin Mansion.After the official sent back Wang Qin's words to Su Wenyun, Su Wenyun's face darkened, and he sneered, "Tang Jing is going to leave, and he won't come back later, Wang Zifeng just wants me to end the trouble caused by his junior brother? Why don't you just let him die."

The official was just retelling the original words, how could he dare to accept Su Wenyun's words.

Su Wenyun mockingly scolded Wang Qin for being too imaginative and Tang Shen was extremely stupid, then he was silent and thought about it: "It might not be impossible. Tsk, Wang Zifeng, your wishful thinking is pretty good. But have you ever After thinking about it, if I settled the matter for Tang Jingze, he owes me a favor."

Immediately, Su Wenyun called Qiao Jiu and asked him to invite Yeluqin and Brother Yelushe to a banquet through Xiaozhen.

Song Dynasty, in the city of Youzhou.

Tang Shen came to Youzhou in March, and now more than three months have passed, Zhao Fu sent Yu Chaosheng to pick up his errand, and he will return to Shengjing after handing over to the other party for a few days.

After the two handed over the errands, Yu Chaosheng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Tang."

Tang Shen pretended to be surprised and said: "Thank you, Sir Yu. It's just that the lower officials don't understand, what the lord said is..."

Yu Chaosheng stroked the short beard on his chin, smiled gently and said, "Master Tang will definitely have a good chance when he returns to Beijing. But I can't go back with Master Tang, so I congratulate you first."

Tang Shen showed a surprised expression.

When meeting with Wang Qin privately, Tang Shen said: "Senior brother, but because of me, the emperor sent Yu Chaosheng?"

Wang Qin raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

He guided Tang Shen to continue, and Tang Shen said: "This time, I can't say that I have done the mission perfectly, but I am not at fault. Now that Mr. Su has gone, almost everything has been done. However. Only a few of us know about this matter, the Holy One must not make it public. So if the Holy Majesty wants to reward me, it will be very difficult. Brother once said that if there is no accident, it is impossible for me to be promoted to the second rank within five years, at most the third rank. But now, I I wonder if the Holy Spirit intends to promote me."

Wang Qin smiled softly and softly: "I have been promoted to the fourth rank in four years, the Holy One is really discerning, and the younger brother is also a pillar of talent!"

Tang Shen: "Speak seriously."

Wang Qin was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Tang Shen to speak so bluntly.However, after recovering, he whispered: "You are more dependent on me."

The voice was too low, almost only Wang Qin could hear it, Tang Shen asked, "What did senior brother just say?"

Wang Qin: "Say you guessed right."

Tang Shen had already guessed that he would be promoted after returning to Beijing this time, but now that he had Wang Qin's approval, he was pleasantly surprised but also melancholy.He said guiltily: "But in order to let me be promoted, the emperor specially sent Yu Chaosheng here to divide up your authority, senior brother."

If Tang Shen wants to be promoted, the power of his and Wang Qin's party will naturally become stronger.Zhao Fu sent Yu Chaosheng here in order to balance the court.Yu Chaosheng was also involved in Yin Yinsi's affairs, and after he returned, Zhao Fu would of course reward Yu Chaosheng just like Tang Shen was rewarded.Besides, Tang Shen didn't really come to Youzhou for Yin Yinsi, but Yu Chaosheng did.

I'm afraid that after a few months, Yu Chaosheng will know some inside information about Yin Yinsi.And his teacher Xu Wei will also know a thing or two.

Tang Shen was able to occupy the third rank at the age of 20, and the party turmoil behind him cannot be ignored.

Tang Shen felt that Wang Qin was involved in his affairs, and that he was restrained by Yu Chaosheng, which made him feel guilty.But Wang Qin said: "Even without you, the emperor will send someone again. This matter is destined, Yin Yinsi has never been my word."

Tang Shen: "But before Yu Chao was born, it wasn't like this. Yin Yinsi belonged to senior brother."

Wang Qin's lips moved, and he looked at Tang Shen with a deep and contemplative gaze, without saying a word for a long time.Tang Shen felt terrified when he saw him, he endured it for a while, and whispered: "Senior brother?"

Wang Qin's voice suddenly became harsh: "I suddenly wondered, what kind of person am I in my junior brother's heart?"

Tang Shen: "Huh?"

Wang Qin didn't answer, Tang Shen could only think hard, and gave the answer: "In my opinion, senior brother is bright and transparent, tactful but not worldly, cautious in words and deeds but not pedantic. As long as I have senior brother around any difficult problems, I will always feel at ease." Yes. Senior brother is nine years older than me, but after nine years, I will never be as good as senior brother."

Wang Qin: "Then what do you think, when I do many things, why should I do it?"

Tang Shen was completely stunned, he didn't understand what Wang Qin was going to say.

Wang Qin was a little disappointed. He took a deep look at Tang Shen and said, "You and I are bosom friends. I regard my junior brother as the person who understands me best and understands my heart best. I have been waiting alone for 29 years. , I finally waited for someone who understands me. But you have never thought about why I went to Cizhou three years ago, and why I took the job of Yinyinsi last year. Even that day in Xuji Tower, I Tell you that you are friends from the same school, and comrades are friends, what exactly are you talking about?"

Tang Shen's heart was shaken, and Wang Qin expressed a little disappointment towards him, but what he read from Wang Qin's tone was more hurt and loneliness.

After speaking, Wang Qin turned and left.

Tang Shen was extremely shocked, he grabbed Wang Qin's sleeve and said loudly: "Why do you want to be an official, brother?"

Wang Qin's footsteps stopped, he turned around, and looked at Tang Shen steadfastly, with hope and anticipation in his eyes.

Tang Shen took a deep breath, stared at Wang Qin earnestly, and said word by word: "I know, I have always known. Brother, I never became an official for the sake of fame and wealth, or power. Brother was never an upright official, and never Rigid in the usual etiquette and methods. But you are a real official. So after I got the certificate that Jiaozi appeared in Shu that day, the first thing I thought of was senior brother. Because I know that only senior brother will not Fearing difficulties and obstacles, grabbing the ray of dawn at the end of the long dark journey."

Wang Qin was stunned.

Tang Shen squeezed his sleeve tightly, and after a long time, Wang Qin reached out and took Tang Shen's hand.He held Tang Shen's hand tightly and pulled it away from his sleeve.However, after pulling away, he did not let go of Tang Shen's hand, but still held it tightly.

The two looked at each other quietly, Tang Shen seemed to have an answer ready to come out.He seems to understand something, but also seems to understand nothing.

At this moment, Wang Qin smiled lightly and said, "I'm not an upright official?"

Tang Shen was taken aback.

Wang Qin held Tang Shen's hand with one hand, gently raised the other hand, hung on Tang Shen's forehead, and tapped his forehead lightly.His actions were extremely gentle, without any intention of punishment.

Wang Qin: "Is the younger brother praising me or scolding me?"

Tang Shen subconsciously touched his forehead that was touched by that hand, and suddenly he regained his composure: "Senior brother, you're playing tricks on me again!"
