The carriage moved slowly on the rugged mountain road, because the mountain road was not wide, Xia Liansheng and Fan Ning only used a horse to lead the way in front, anyway, there was a booster equipment, Xia Liansheng didn't feel anything, Fan Ning was still surprised for two days before putting it down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info At this time, the mountain road is uneven, and the two of them are swaying in the car, not to mention reading a book and drinking tea, and they can't even rest there for a while.

Xia Liansheng couldn't help it anymore and said, "No, I have to go out to breathe." After saying that, they sat down next to Chahar, who was driving the carriage, and asked, "Chahar, how long is it left?" ”

Chahar stood up and looked into the distance for a while, and said, "My lord, there is already a downhill slope ahead, this mountain should be about to be crossed, if the route described to me by the postman at that time is not bad, we will be able to cross this mountain tomorrow, and then walk along the river for another three days, and we will almost be there." After Chahar finished speaking, seeing Xia Liansheng's constipated expression, he thought about it and added: "Out of the mountain, the road in the future should be smoother, adults should bear with it first." ”

What if you can't bear it? It was his own decision to follow Fanning to Dali to see the scenery, but at this time, he wanted Chahar to comfort him, Xia Liansheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose and nodded, praised Chahar's hard work, and then got back into the carriage.

Fan Ning listened to their conversation in the carriage and listened to it funny, and when he saw Xia Liansheng bow his head and enter the carriage, he said with a smile: "I remember that when you were in Qingshan Academy, you were not so polite when you went out to play, and you harmed many animals and scenery in the mountains. Why are you suddenly polite now? ”

Xia Liansheng wiped the sweat of embarrassment on his head and said, "This... It doesn't feel the same. You are my good friends, I can play with you as much as I want, but he is a subordinate, I still have to maintain a demeanor in front of my subordinates... Hahaha... ”

Fan Ning rolled his eyes, leaned on the carriage and stopped talking, and after a long time, he suddenly asked melancholy: "Hengrui, you said that I went to that county seat, can I really go back alive?" If not, I'll throw the ingots to you, let him stay with you for a few years, and then let him go back to see my parents in the future, and just pretend I'm still alive. ”

When Xia Liansheng heard this, he hurriedly took two sips and said, "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?" It can't be that when you came to Yunnan with me, you thought so, right? Isn't it just that you can't make political achievements? It's a big deal to get a bad review, and then go back to work up for a few years. ”

Fan Ning seemed to feel that Xia Liansheng was comforting him, after all, he was not like Xia Liansheng, who knew the direction of the Red Mansion, he only felt that Xia Liansheng, a prince who was known by the emperor and the Emperor Taishang even if he did not recognize his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, would be mixed here to make a decoration, so wouldn't a petty official like him not even be able to save his life. Before leaving, he inquired that none of the officials appointed by the ministry who had taken up their posts there had died well.

Xia Liansheng listened to Fan Ning's words, and regretted a little that he hadn't paid attention to his friend's mood, he thought for a while before saying, "Fan Ning, do you believe it or not?" I have a special ability to turn a situation around. ”

Fanning listened, looked up at him, and said, "You don't have to comfort me, I will take good care of myself when I get there, and work hard to complete the two-year term." ”

Xia Liansheng looked at Fan Ning's lifeless face and said firmly: "What? Not convinced? Think about it, when the Zhen family was in Jiangnan, how many times did the Yan Imperial History die? Even my cousin Lin Ruhai almost died, and even the whole family had no way to live. But then I showed up, and you see what he's like now? So you must believe me, I have a special kind of luck, as long as you are with me, you will definitely be able to turn danger into safety, and even high-ranking officials will not be a problem in the future. ”

Outside Chahar almost burst into laughter, driving the carriage accidentally pressed the stone, the whole car shook, the curtain on the window was shaken, the oblique sunlight outside shone in, sprinkled behind Xia Liansheng, when Fan Ning looked at him, Xia Liansheng seemed to glow, with his words, Fan Ning suddenly had a feeling like seeing a fairy, and suddenly his heart was steady. He looked at Xia Liansheng fixedly for a while, and smiled: "You're right, I want to work hard to live, and wait for my high-ranking official Houlu to hit his head." ”

Xia Liansheng saw that Fan Ning's mood seemed to be better, so he was down-to-earth, sat down and leaned next to the carriage, and the two chatted happily again.

Fanning asked, "Is it really okay for you to send everyone else back, just the three of us over there?" ”

Xia Liansheng waved his hand indifferently and said: "Mama Rong wants to go to Jiangnan to see relatives, anyway, I've been fine lately, thinking that there won't be so much drag here, it's good to think about it now, otherwise we will definitely be late if we take them on such a shaky road." ”

Fan Ning said: "It's good that I sent Yuan Bao to ride a horse to inquire first, otherwise I wouldn't be like you, and I wouldn't have time to hand over when I arrived at the place." ”

Xia Liansheng was embarrassed by what he said, and said angrily: "Hmph, I don't know which one is greedy for life and afraid of death and doesn't dare to go." If you have the ability, you can also ride over. ”

"Cut~" Fanning was also told the central matter, rolled his eyes, and stopped making a sound.

Yangxin Palace in the capital

Su Peisheng sent Li Dequan away in a good voice, and sent the box in his hand to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang asked someone to send you this painting, you see... ”

The emperor, who was commenting on the folding, frowned slightly imperceptibly, and said, "Open it and take a look." ”

Su Peisheng put the box on the small table on the side, opened the box, and asked the two little eunuchs to take out the painting and unfold it slowly, it was a picture of Lian Po's lunch, Lian Po in the picture was gray-haired, but he could still eat a lot in one meal. This is a famous painter in the palace according to the allusion 'Lian Po Lao, can still eat' to paint to honor the emperor.

When the emperor saw this painting, he was in a worse mood, Su Peisheng understood in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned the little eunuchs to put the painting away. The emperor interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said, "Since it is the emperor's reward, then hang it on the east wall." Then he turned back to his bookcase, but he could no longer read the folds.

Minister! Minister! Huang Ama is once again reminding him to be kind to his ministers! He wanted to treat them very well, but they all relied on themselves as Huang Ama's henchmen, and they didn't even look at him, the emperor, and openly formed gangs in the court one by one, bullying the newcomers they promoted. But if they are loyal to the country and the people, one by one, relying on the contribution of their ancestors to the court, they will only fight against the same party, neither the sharp words of the Hanlin Academy, nor the ability of Nian Qianyao to defend the country, they will only rely on the glory of their ancestors, holding the military power in their hands, but they will only ask those close to them to snatch the merits of the soldiers, which are all the honors that people exchange their lives for! But they did this, and if they disciplined themselves, they would be constrained by the emperor. In the long run, who would dare to kill the enemy with their lives? Who can defend the frontier?
