Zhu Shiyang heard the choking sound of the Jinyi Wei's knife coming out of the sheath, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and before he had time to call someone to ask, he saw He Fan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, push the door in, knelt down in the cabin and said: "Your Majesty, just now I was temporarily docked on the order of Lord Lu, and suddenly two women ran out of the woods, saying that the singer of the Qinglou who was abandoned here by a passing passenger ship wanted to take our ship to Suzhou in front. The prince and Lord Lu were talking to them outside, and the special subordinates came down to ask the emperor for instructions. ”

Zhu Shiyang is now traveling away, and he has the experience of being assassinated in the Imperial Garden before, so he is a little more cautious than usual, and frowns: "What kind of singer is it, why did it happen to appear at the place where I was waiting for the boat to stop? As he spoke, he got up and went out suspiciously.

He Fan followed behind and said: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen also feels a little strange, so he has ordered his subordinates to stop them, and the ship has also strengthened the garrison. The emperor will stand on the boat and look at them from a distance, not too close. ”

Zhu Shiyang thought about the sound of the blade that Fang had just heard, and Fang understood what was going on, nodded and said, "You did the right thing." However, the other party is only two women, and they shouldn't be some kind of traitors, so they can't use swords and swords like this. As the Ouchi Guard, you must not show too much on weekdays, which will inevitably scare the innocent people. ”

He Fan hurriedly bowed his head and agreed. As they spoke, they left the cabin and came to the carved fence on the side of the boat. The brocade guards guarding nearby retreated to an open space, Zhu Shiyang looked at the railing, and saw that there were indeed a group of people standing on the shore, all of them were plainclothes guards with swords out of their sheaths, Zhu Shiji and Lu Wenyuan were standing in front, talking to the two women.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and Zhu Shiyang couldn't see what the two women looked like, but he felt that the clothes around him were gorgeous, one holding a pipa in his hand, and the other holding a piano, standing slightly in the twilight, but also looking graceful. Zhu Shiyang felt that these two people were not like the murderous assassins, so he asked out loud, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Shiji said from afar: "Brother Huang, these two girls were driven off the boat by prostitutes and wanted to take our boat to Suzhou. ”

Zhu Shiyang frowned and didn't reply, but the two women were used to mixing in the Fengyue Field, and they could see at a glance that he was the one in charge, so they blessed Zhu Shiji and Lu Wenyuan on the side, turned around and said to Zhu Shiyang: "This son, our two sisters were originally courtesans in Suzhou, and a few days ago they took a boat to Yangzhou with a rich man who was doing silk business. Originally, it was said that he would only sell his art and not his body, but who knew that when the ship was halfway through, the rich man not only wanted us to accompany the wine, but also asked us to ......"

When the woman said this, she paused and continued: "Although my two sisters have fallen into the dust, they also have a trace of heart, and they only hope to keep an innocent body, save enough money in the future, and go out to find a good person to marry. Fortunately, my sister was clever and kicked the rich man in the lower body, and the rich man woke up from the pain, and most of the ** disappeared, but he was willing to let us go, so he drove us off the boat and threw us in such a deserted place. ”

When the woman said this, she saw that Zhu Shiyang was still standing on the boat with her hands in her hands and listening, so she softened her voice and pleaded: "My sisters and sisters walked along the river bank for a day, but there is no ferry near here, and it is not a place where passing ships are anchored, and until now there is no passenger boat, if it is not for the son to stop the boat here, I am afraid that I will spend the night in the wilderness." Although Jiangnan wins, there is no shortage of fierce beasts and insects in the wilderness. It is only for the prince to have mercy on us, and to give us a ride, even if he asks for more silver, or to drop us off at the ferry in front of us. As he spoke, he pulled another woman forward and knelt down, and bowed to Zhu Shiyang again and again.

Zhu Shiyang looked at the two women carefully in the light of the sky, and saw that their temples were really loose, their flowers were tired, and their clothes were a little dirty, so he knew that what Fang Cai said was true. glanced at Zhu Shiji, Zhu Shiji was talking to the two brocade guards beside him, and he didn't pay attention, but Lu Wenyuan did not hide the sympathy on his face, looking at him expectantly.

Zhu Shiyang also felt that the two women were quite pitiful, and it was not a gentleman's work to throw them here, so he said: "That's it, this son doesn't want your money." Come on board, you will be able to Suzhou early tomorrow morning. ”

The two women were extremely happy when they heard this, thanked Zhu Shiyang again and again, and then followed the guards to the cabin of the back ship to settle down. Zhu Shiyang thought for a while and said: "Let them come to Ben Gongzi's boat, there are only some men in the back boat, and there are horses pickled, so how can the two innocent women deal with themselves? ”

The two women were stunned, and then they were even more surprised, they have fallen into the dust for a long time, even if they have a high and self-disciplined heart, they will inevitably be looked down upon, but now this ignorant rich son is willing to love them so much. He Fan whispered on the side: "The emperor can't, these two people are unknown, and they are in the same boat as the emperor, I'm afraid it's ......."

Zhu Shiji also got on the boat at this time, and said: "Brother Huang, there are only three rooms on this painting boat, and now you and I and Lord Lu each live in one, how are those two women going to settle down?"

Zhu Shiyang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, you pack up, live in the same room with me, and the vacated one is for them to live, and they will arrive in Suzhou tomorrow, and it will be okay for one night." Zhu Shiji agreed, and Zhu Shiyang instructed He Fan again: "If you are really not at ease, send more people to watch on the boat, otherwise, you will personally guard the door of me." He Fan heard that this was the emperor's martial arts that trusted him, so he no longer pleaded, only cheered up and guarded the door of Zhu Shiyang all night.

After the two women had settled down, they came to Zhu Shiyang's room to thank them. Zhu Shiyang saw that their clothes were dirty, but the boat was full of men, and he and Zhu Shiji were too tall, so he had to send Zhu Shiji to Lu Wenyuan to ask for two sets of clothes to replace with them first. Zhu Shiji asked for the clothes and came back, distributed them to the two women, and watched them go out, so he smiled and said to Zhu Shiyang: "The imperial brother really has the heart of pity and cherishing the jade, and the younger brother sighs to himself." ”

Zhu Shiyang was washing his face and washing his hands on the side, intending to sleep peacefully, and said with a smile: "After all, women are no better than men, and they need to be cared for." Although I cannot love them, I still want to respect them. ”

Zhu Shiji also got up and went to fill the water to clean his face, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the women in this world are not blessed, if anyone can get a little favor from the imperial brother, it will not be in vain to come to this world." Zhu Shiji said, paused, turned his face and saw Zhu Shiyang's face gloomy, and knew that he thought of Lu Wenyuan again.

Zhu Shiji didn't break him, and after washing, he kicked his boots and lay down on the bed, gave way to the place next to him, motioned for Zhu Shiyang to lie down as well, and said, "Brother Chen has been cold to see that Brother Huang and Lord Lu have been cold recently, what's wrong?"

Zhu Shiyang pulled the quilt and covered the two of them, and his face became more and more gloomy. Thinking that he had provoked Lu Wenyuan with □□ attack on his heart before, but how he would tell Zhu Shiji, he hesitated, only staring at a silver tent hook hanging from the top of the tent. Zhu Shiji was quiet for a long time, glanced at him sideways, turned over and said: "Brother Chen has a sentence that he can't usually say, only take advantage of this time to mention a little brother emperor, is the brother willing to listen to it?"

Zhu Shiyang was stunned for a moment, and there were doubts in his heart, and he said, "You say." ”

Zhu Shiji was not in a hurry to confess, but buried half of his face in the quilt, hesitated for a while, and then said: "If the younger brother of the minister said, even if it is wrong, the imperial brother is not allowed to blame the younger brother, everything of the younger brother is considered for the imperial brother, the imperial brother is in a high position, and sometimes what he sees and hears is not as real as the younger brother's staying outside the matter." ”

Zhu Shiyang heard his voice in the quilt and was muffled, and for no reason, he was a little flustered, turned sideways and propped up his head and said, "Say it quickly, I'll listen." I don't blame you, I just do. ”

Zhu Shiji groaned and said: "Doesn't the imperial brother think that the power of Lord Lu is too heavy? The head of the cabinet is also the secretary of the ministry, and the great power of the great government of the dynasty and the promotion and deposition of officials is in the hands of one person, which has never been done since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Fan Zhefu was just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, so he was enough to dictate and govern with one hand, not to mention the secretary who was far above the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. The younger brother came all the way from the capital, and he had secretly heard a lot of discussions, and some people even privately called Lord Lu 'Heavenly Official'. The younger brother knew that with Lord Lu's fierce loyalty, it was impossible to do such a rebellious act as dictatorship and arbitrary government, but the words were terrifying, and the younger brother felt frightened just by looking at this momentum. ”

Zhu Shiyang listened to this and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Zhu Shiji was also very worried in his heart, and he was quiet for a while, and sure enough, he saw that he looked a little displeased, and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I haven't heard this kind of thing, those officials in the court, those who are at the end of three days, will give me a sooth, persuade me not to rely too much on Lu Wenyuan, I just flip it over." But it should not come out of your mouth. King Kangping, I see that you usually talk and laugh with Lu Wenyuan, and your personal relationship is fine, why are you suspicious of him with that group of people now?"

Zhu Shiji sighed and said: "It's good for the younger brother to have a personal relationship with Lord Lu, but how can there be a deeper affection in the world than blood and blood affection? It was really not easy for me to □□ the emperor to conquer this country, and I must not be coveted by others. If the royal brother really doesn't like to listen, he will treat his brother as an ignorant official and say the wrong thing, and forget it when he listens to it, so don't blame his brother or alienate his brother. With that, he turned over in frustration and faced the bed, as if he was about to sleep.

Zhu Shiyang couldn't sleep well, thought about it alone, tossed and turned for a long time, and didn't gradually feel sleepy until the third watch, so he slept honestly and didn't say anything all night.

I woke up the next morning, and it was a fine day. Zhu Shiyang is a passable character, he simply doesn't want to think about things he doesn't understand, and he slept for another night, and Zhu Shiji can't remember what he said, so he left it all behind. After washing up and having breakfast, I sat in front of the window and looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait.

Zhu Shiyang's room is the one closest to the bow of the boat, and when the south window is opened, you can directly see the painting boat breaking the waves in the canal. The bow of the carved vermilion lacquer boat floated and sank, and it had already been splashed wet by the river, but it could still show the momentum of flying.

At this time, it is still early, there are not many boats in the canal, and the green mountains and clear water on both sides of the river slowly unfold in front of you, reflecting the rising red sun, which really makes people open-minded.

Zhu Shiyang sat in front of the window for a while, afraid of being caught cold by the oncoming water breeze, so he moved to the shelter on the side of the south window. Zhu Shiyang said that Lu Wenyuan's back was far more beautiful than the scenery on both sides of the strait, so he stared at others.

Zhu Shiji went outside the cabin to pour water, saw Lu Wenyuan standing alone on the bow of the boat blowing the wind, and looked at Zhu Shiyang who was hiding in the dark and peeking, so he leaned over and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, I rarely see you wearing such freshly colored clothes." ”

Lu Wenyuan looked down at his clothes and said, "If the prince doesn't say it, the minister hasn't paid attention yet." ”

Zhu Shiji leaned on the railing of the boat, and said casually: "Lord Lu has been an official all the way to the first assistant, and the government affairs are cumbersome, so I don't think I have been back to my hometown for many years, right? ”

Lu Wenyuan pinched his fingers and calculated: "When the minister was nineteen years old, he chose Shu Jishi, stayed in Beijing for three years, and then released as the imperial history, and worked as an errand in the Hangzhou Yamen, and it didn't take long for the emperor to move to Beijing official, until now." ”

Zhu Shiji counted his fingers and said in surprise: "Is Lord Lu only twenty-three years old now?"

Lu Wenyuan said with a smile: "The minister was born in April, and now it is twenty-four. ”

The two laughed and talked about the customs and customs of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Zhu Shiyang listened in the cabin, and became more and more unable to sit still, but he was in the way of quarreling with Lu Wenyuan, and Zhu Shiji didn't come to greet him, so he had to hide behind the window and be anxious. The two singers in the back cabin faintly heard Zhu Shiji and Lu Wenyuan talking and laughing, so they came out of the cabin together, held the piano and pipa in their arms, walked up to the bow of the boat and said: "The two sons are talking so lively, why don't we add the two of us playing the piano to help the fun, so as to repay the kindness of the sons who took us in yesterday." ”

Zhu Shiji saw that the two of them had already changed out of yesterday's dirty clothes, put on Lu Wenyuan's robe, and didn't even do the cloudy and foggy sideburns of the hairstyle, but only learned from ordinary men to simply shackle on the top of their heads, but they were also playful and clever, and they were extremely cute, Zhu Shiji hurriedly greeted Zhu Shiyang: "Brother Huang, come and see, when did we have two more pretty men on the ship?"

Zhu Shiyang came out in a hurry, casually talking and laughing with Zhu Shiji, but his eyes only glanced at Lu Wenyuan, only to feel that his face was not powdered, and his lips were not Zhu, but he was ten points more handsome than the two singers.

Lu Wenyuan didn't know it, and when he saw that Zhu Shiyang didn't talk to him, he didn't dare to talk to him rashly. Zhu Shiji set up tables and chairs at the bow of the boat, and kept fresh melons and fruits, wine and tea. The three of them sat down, and the courtesans tuned their emblems and tried their strings, and sang softly:

"The sea is red, the mountains are smoky, and the scenery of the capital is prosperous. The door draws the halberd, down to the ten thousand wells, and the golden buildings lean on each other. He Pu Xu, Yang Liu Tingzhou, reflecting the reflection of Hongqiao. The blue boat flies, the tourists gather and disperse, and the lake is ......"

The three of them had a few glasses of wine with the sound of string music, only to hear the murmuring of the water around them and the waves crashing on the shore, which made the song more and more timeless and clear. Zhu Shiyang said with a smile: "Back then, Su Shi took two or three courtesans to swim on Yanbo Lake, and that's it. As he spoke, he poured a full cup, and Zhu Shiji and Lu Wenyuan accompanied him with a cup.

The three of them talked and drank, and Zhu Shiyang went down one cup after another, and after a while, he already had a little bit of alcohol. Lu Wenyuan doesn't drink a lot of alcohol on weekdays, and it's even worse at the moment. Zhu Shiji ordered someone to withdraw the wine. Lu Wenyuan took a few sips of tea, and felt that the upsurge of wine was forced to retreat a little, so he left the table and went to the side to blow the wind. Although Zhu Shiyang didn't talk to him, he was still worried about him, lest he drink too much and fall off the boat, so he followed him to protect him.

The two courtesans had already changed a few tunes by this time. Zhu Shiyang heard the sound of string music more and more lingering in his ears, urging the wine in his chest, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Wenyuan in a daze. Lu Wenyuan woke up for a while, looked up and saw Zhu Shiyang's pair of black pupils like a pool of water close in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but jump suddenly. I wanted to turn my eyes away, but I didn't know if it was because of the wine, or because of something next to me, I also looked at Zhu Shiyang in a daze. The more I look at it, the more I feel that Zhu Shiyangyu looks like a god, and he is so handsome that he is pressing step by step, forcing people's eyes, making people reluctant to avoid their eyes.

The two stared at each other for a long time, Zhu Shiyang chuckled, his eyes became softer and softer, and he said in a low voice: "Why do you look at me like this, do you have something to say to me?"

Lu Wenyuan heard him take the initiative to talk to him and wanted to answer, but there was a bit of alcohol in his mind, and he couldn't think clearly for a while. This situation was manifested on his face, that is, the pair of apricot eyes were as hazy as mist, and he was still staring at Zhu Shiyang in a daze.

Zhu Shiyang looked at it with love and laughter, and said, "After a few glasses of wine, you forgot what to say to me?" Didn't you always want to ask if you were out on the night I and King Kangping went to sell the Golden Gate?

Lu Wenyuan thought about it for a while, and remembered that he had indeed been worried about this for several days, so he hurriedly nodded his head a little. Zhu Shiyang leaned into his ear and smiled: "I originally wanted to come here, and that little man was teasing in my arms in every way, and I am not Liu Xia Hui, how can I sit still and not mess up?" Zhu Shiyang's heart was very happy, and asked, "Why do you care so much about me?"

Lu Wenyuan carefully raised his words, and replied solemnly: "The emperor's holy body and well-being are related to the family, country and society, and it is not the wish of the only minister, but also the wish of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty. When the minister was studying, he once saw that when the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty alternated, Wang Mang usurped the throne, all parties revolted, and wars were frequent. ”

Zhu Shiyang only said that he was too serious, and said: "That's it, I don't care what you think, it's all a big truth." Anyway, I didn't mess around, so can you rest assured?"

Lu Wenyuan was stunned, and nodded as expected, Zhu Shiyang remembered what he was thinking in the dark that day, and his heart was filled with emotion, and when he saw that one of his hands on the railing was white and slender, he covered his hand. Lu Wenyuan felt that his hand was warm and hot, he was startled, and unconsciously struggled lightly, and raised his eyes to see the emperor's handsome face with a gentle and eager look, and was struggling by himself, with a bit of uncertain panic, and his heart was moved, and the hand that was pressed below stopped struggling, and stayed quietly in the emperor's palm.
