In early autumn, the sky is blank, the sky is not yet light, and the air is already dusty with horses' hooves. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Chi and Su Cen stood calmly in the long pavilion, looking ahead, without saying a word.

After about a cup of tea, a team of flying horses came in the dust, about more than 100 people, but there was no joy on the surface of the Su Chi. Before he knew it, he flew forward and only blocked the middle of the road.

Sure enough, the two columns of cavalry that had opened the way earlier had already urgently reined in their horses, and Ning Lizhen's voice came from the carriage: "Stop!" So Ning Lizhen leaned out, and the guards on one side put their feet on the pedals, Ning Lizhen's face was not very good, and the clothes on her body were not as gorgeous as before, but she was wearing a brocade cloak.

Ning Lizhen's face was even worse than Su Chi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, but his usual good demeanor, when he saw Wei Ming, he knew that it was Su Chi, so he only walked quickly to the pavilion: "I thought that you wouldn't tell you when you first recovered from a serious illness, why did you get up so early? It's also good to lie down on the couch more." ”

A few days ago, on the Wanshou Festival, His Majesty gave the prince sixteen delicacies, and suddenly the people's hearts fluctuated, His Majesty re-mentioned the prince's marriage at the banquet, and the important ministers of the court petitioned to marry their daughters to the prince, and even said that it was okay to be a slave and a concubine.

After that day, the holy decree in the palace was issued: "The edict said: "There are divisions in the number, and the practice is lenient, and the cruelty is prohibited, and it will not be changed today." One is innocent, the peasants are unemployed, the resentful are numerous, the hurt is peaceful, the flood and drought are disasters, and the Kanto region is redundant. Xuanzhou is especially dramatic, and I am very painful. The famine in Xuanzhou, the tears and sentimentality of the people I heard, there were lawless gangsters who gathered to make trouble and breed trouble, and the prince was known to be dignified, so he also went to the bullet pressure in person, hoping to compensate the people and punish the evil and the people. If the disaster tithes more than four, and the people are less than 30,000, do not rent it. If the loan is not entered, it will not be collected. Displaced people want to enter the customs, and they are not registered. Thinking is called me. ”

Disaster relief for officials has never been a bad thing, although the imperial court allocated funds to open positions, but there was a quota, and under the layers of deductions, it was even more difficult to make a living in the hands of the people. So the people complained about it, and when they heard about it, they would cut down the lord and demote the official, and at worst they would be executed by raiding their homes, so most of the people in the court avoided it.

The battle for the throne between Ning Lizhen and King Yu, Ning Lizhen is the humerus of the court with heavy troops, and although Ning Lizhen has been in the court for a long time, he has always been cautious and has interacted with the ministers without going on a blind date. One is that he is the son of the queen and is the only candidate for the orthodoxy of the throne; the other is that he is peaceful and gentle, Chana Yayan, he has seen extraordinary knowledge at a young age, and is known as the "Peony Prince".

Now the disaster relief, for Ning Lizhen, success is useless, and failure is wrong. He may even lose two of the most important things of his political career: a good name that everyone praises and everyone who values him.

The difficulty of disaster relief is the game between the people and the high-ranking officials, whose cheese to move?

The autumn wind blew his robe, Ning Lizhen's clothes fluttered, Su Chi leaned up and approached with a smile: "My illness has been cured, when the prince's brother comes back, maybe he can catch up with the autumn hunt!" In fact, Ning Lizhen didn't know if he could come back, and when he was drunk in the East Palace, he asked the young master Yan Jin bitterly if he had done something wrong, and why did his father change so suddenly.

Yan Jin lowered his hand and sighed: "It's not that Your Highness has done anything wrong, it's just that Your Highness has grown up." The young and promising prince who was deeply loved by the people made the eyes of the emperor, who was gradually driven away by time, become more and more evil, which was his fault.

Although the people have always been stingy with the worst intentions about the relationship between the crown prince and the former quasi-princess Su Chi, Ning Lizhen completely ignored it, and at this moment Su Chi was already full of emotion to be able to stand here and send him off. Ning Lizhen touched her head with her left hand: "Ah Chi has grown so tall in a flash, and I don't know if I will see you again・・・・・・ "I don't know when the goodbye will be."

I don't know if it's a sad scene or a sad scene, Su Chi suddenly felt that his throat was astringent. Why does a person as clean and frank as Ning Lizhen have to suffer from this, he was born in the royal family, but he has no arrogance, on the contrary, Corporal Lixian is as good as a stream, and his father often says: The king of the prosperous world should be like this.

When he met a father who was bent on creating troubled times, what could Ning Lizhen do?

The autumn wind blew Su Chi's eyes dry and astringent, and she made the mistake of tears in the wind again, Ning Lizhen wiped her tears with a light yellow handkerchief: "Isn't it sad to part, reluctant?"

Su Chi rubbed his eyes, "No." ”

Su Chi hid the problem of his eyes in front of everyone, but he went to the banquet with Ning Lizhen that day, but after half an hour, he asked her if her eyes were uncomfortable, and later he must have invited the imperial doctor to come and see.

His careful care, ten years like a day, never changed because of the position of the family, and Ning Lizhen in front of him was frank: Su Chi felt that lying in front of him was like a sin, and it was heinous. This man carries the light of the sun, but he lives with the softness of the moonlight.

"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Ah Chi, don't delay His Highness's trip. ”

It's also strange to say, Su Chi clearly feels that there are many things to say, but when it comes to his mouth, he feels that a thousand words are superfluous, and he just wants to say "cherish". Su Chi's eyes squinted, and he suddenly remembered whether Chongyao, the eldest son in Jinling City, had also been degraded like this, and whether anyone in the Ten Mile Changting had warmed a pot of hot wine for him, how could he deal with himself if he was not a person?

Suddenly, she heard Chongyao call her, "Why can't you get rid of this love for God? Although your illness is cured, you still have to drink the medicine that the imperial doctor recuperates on time, and the prescription for warming and replenishing should be appropriate, and you must not be too troublesome." ”

Listening to the advice, Su Chi's scalp was numb, "Brother Prince is not at ease, so he came back early to watch." ”

Ning Lizhen smiled lightly: "Okay!"

He never let her down, and hopefully not this time.

Although Su Chi had something to say, Ning Lizhen was invited elsewhere by Su Cen on the grounds of "borrowing a step to speak", Su Chi watched the conversation between the two young men from a distance, and saw that Su Cen was saluting and was telling Ning Lizhen something, but Ning Lizhen looked puzzled, and then seemed to be very surprised, and then he frowned, Su Chi pulled his eyebrows, and an ominous premonition followed.

Su Cen didn't let Su Chi wait too long, so he called her closer, and Su Chi raised his eyebrows and said, "But it's over?"

Ning Lizhen still wrinkled her eyebrows, and Su Cen smiled faintly: "What's the matter, do you want to go back to sleep in a hurry?"

Only Su Chi and Ning Lizhen are left here, Ning Lizhen touched her hair bun with her hand, Su Chi got up early today, just a green hosta and went out, not like the red jade and gold hairpin worn in the past, but there is an elegant girlish feeling. Ning Lizhen looked at this hairpin inexplicably familiar, and couldn't help but touch it, the jade was smooth and the texture was clear, "This is?"

"Don't you recognize?" said Suchi mischievously.

Ning Lizhen shook her head, not remembering at all.

"On my birthday the year before last, the prince's brother gave me a stone, and the jade master cut it and found that there was indeed a good jade inside, so he made this hairpin. ”

Ning Lizhen said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there would really be such an adventure!" That day, I met an old woman selling stones, and she was struggling to survive under the scorching sun, so Ning Lizhen sent someone to buy all the stones. Su Chi inherited Su Yuan's preferences, especially ornaments such as wood and stone, and Su Chi let people move these things from the East Palace. Later, Ning Lizhen stopped asking, but she didn't expect that there was such a gambling stone.

Su Chi pulled out the hairpin and played with it carefully in his hand: "Sometimes, it seems that the mountains and rivers are restored, but who knows that it is not a new landscape? ”

Ning Lizhen savored it carefully, "I didn't expect that Lone would be taught a lesson by Ah Chi one day!" Ning Lizhen looked at Su Cen, who was looking at him in the distance, isn't this a "new opportunity"?

There are already a lot of days, His Majesty is jealous of the prince, so Ning Lizhen would rather not say goodbye, Su Cen and Su Yuan stood aside, Ning Lizhen glanced at Su Cen again before getting into the sedan chair, "The things that Qing admonished, Lone will naturally find out one by one, if there is a false report, ・・・・・・"

"If there is a false report, Suzen will plead guilty with the head. Su Cen clenched his fists and said loudly, and Su Chi stood aside, unable to see his face clearly.

The guards beside him asked Ning Lizhen, who got into the car: "Your Highness, don't you wait for Your Highness anymore?"

"No need, let's go!"

Su Chi and Su Cen walked on the way home, Su Chi was silent all the way, and Su Cen couldn't do anything about her: "What, elbow outward?"

"Isn't the eldest brother usually the least disliked by the prince's elder brother? Why did he do the opposite today?" not only was he willing to come to see him off, but he also whispered that the past was very secret.

"Ah Chi, you see that you are about to make time, and the eldest brother has to check it for you. However, such as His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to think about it, lest the Nine Heavens Immortal descend to the mortal dust and cut off the immortal spirit of others. "Su Cen is fair, he doesn't hate Ning Lizhen, it's just that Ning Lizhen and Su Chi can't get too close, Su Chi can like any man in the world, but Ning Lizhen can't. This is something that Suzen has already thought about, and the bottom line cannot be changed.

"Big brother, the famine in Xuanzhou is so serious, could it be that Your Majesty just wants to use the status of the prince's elder brother to deter a little, so that the local squire will spit out the meat and bones?"

"Ah Chi, you are really the best in the world when you deceive yourself!"

"If the prince's brother does this errand・・・・・・"

"Then the princelings in the court will disperse faster, and Your Majesty will always stand on the weak side, such as the former King of Qinghe, and His Majesty made the current prince the prince. Now that the East Palace is powerful, His Majesty can also crown King Yu as the prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can follow Xiao He's example, he can deface himself and maybe there is still a glimmer of life, otherwise do you still remember the first emperor's Fusu, Li Yuan's Li Jiancheng is and the end?"

Su Chi was shocked and took a step back, this was the worst outcome of the development of things, but Ning Lizhen walked step by step, wasn't this the route?

Ning Lizhen left, and this political game came to an end a little.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, His Royal Highness King Ke, the eldest son of the emperor, impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who went to Xuanzhou on charges of accepting bribes privately, and the audience was in an uproar. Everyone knows: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a lot of effort to rescue the eldest son of the emperor who was hostage in the Southern Dynasty with "smart" means, and now the prince is far away in Xuanzhou, His Royal Highness King Ke is falling into the ground?

The princelings have been very cautious recently, and the people in the hall listened to King Ke splashing any dirty water on His Royal Highness the Prince, and they only hated it at all, but they didn't dare to say anything when they looked at His Majesty who was speechless. Everyone was full of gold, but at the critical moment, Yan Jin, the young master of the East Palace, stood up, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is so young, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

As soon as these words came out, the princeling's eyes almost killed Yan Jin, what is the difference between this and admitting guilt? His Royal Highness the prince was unjustly degraded, and now he is even more unexplained to be involved in this matter? Your Highness, the old minister is sorry for you!

The Yuwang Party also took the opportunity to step on it, and there are not many opportunities like this!

His Majesty swept away the folds on the throne, "When Xuanzhou is finished, we will discuss the guilt together!"

At the end of the court meeting, Yan Jin withdrew from the hall with all the ministers, and the ministers pointed and pointed, Jiang Tu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and the former prince and concubine almost spit a mouthful of phlegm on Yan Jin's face, "Ungrateful betrayal!"

Yan Jin was stunned, and suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, it turned out to be Lou Situ patting him on the shoulder: "You are an understanding person! ”

"No, if His Highness needs it, the minister can go to the soup. Such charges will be washed away with blood. "The so-called loyal servant should be like this! Your Highness should not have a stain on his body, and if he is humiliated, he will die.

Lou Situ shook his head, "Why bother?"

As the reign of the dynasty and the nominal grandfather of the prince, he is the most loyal organizer of the princelings. However, His Majesty has become more and more ruthless towards the family in recent years, and the Shu family at that time was not also a relative of the emperor, so what did it do?

The queen can't keep the emperor's heart, as long as the Lou family holds the prince in his hands, he is not afraid of being crossed, as long as he waits quietly for a few years, and waits for the party of King Yu to become bigger, once it threatens His Majesty, then His Majesty is bound to reactivate the prince, so that His Royal Highness the prince will make a comeback just around the corner. Compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a docile temperament, and King Yu, who has military power in his hands, is more dangerous, once the alarm bell rings in His Majesty's heart, military power will change from power to a talisman. Fortunately, what His Highness lacks is just time!

The rumors that His Royal Highness King Ke likes men are not a day or two, although His Royal Highness King Ke is not from a high background and has a bad reputation, but he has a very strong presence recently.

His Royal Highness King Ke actually wrote to marry the only daughter of Princess Rong Nobunaga, Fu Nanqiao, the county lord of the Fu family, yes, it is said that His Majesty has secretly promised His Royal Highness King Yu to be the cousin of Princess Yu. The cause of the incident is even more interesting, the two had a quarrel at Princess Yu's flower-viewing banquet a few days ago, and His Royal Highness King Ke actually despised the county lord. Princess Rong Nobu had already suffered this dumb loss, who would have expected King Ke to make such a fuss, and Princess Rong Nobunaga simply made trouble in the court.

This His Royal Highness King Ke, isn't it a brother who specializes in pits?
