Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Visitor

The efficiency of the Ministry of Industry is also extremely fast, and the repair work of the Ruiwang Mansion has been basically completed in less than half a month. Although the emperor's holy decree made the ministers of the court and the central government not understand the emperor's thoughts for a while, they don't understand it, but they don't understand it, and now it is an indisputable fact that King Rui has returned to the capital, and he is no longer a down-and-out prince who was sent to the border.

The people in the court are the best at seeing the wind and making the rudder, and seeing that King Rui is no longer what it used to be, so taking advantage of the fact that today is the day when King Rui removes his former residence, everyone has come to congratulate and be a guest. Although Liang Yinhuan despises these honey-bellied and hypocritical villains in his heart, he is no longer as upright as he used to be, no matter how he says that he is a guest at the door, it is not easy to refute their face in person, so he still has to be perfunctory.

After greeting politely for a long time, everyone left one after another, and the Ruiwang Mansion regained a little quiet. King Rui stood in the front yard in a daze, looked up and looked around, the plaque of the palace has been recolored, green bricks and red tiles, grass and trees, almost all retain their original appearance, no matter how the situation changes outside, they will never change. Here, time seemed to stop on the day he left, and it also gave him the illusion that his parting five years ago happened yesterday. But he knew better than anyone else that the old situation was the same, the times had changed, and the people around him had left.

After being nostalgic and melancholy for a while, Liang Yinhuan began to carefully sort out what had happened recently in his heart. From the sudden appearance of the Lingshan Gang, to the Queen Mother's serious illness, his return to the capital, and then to the later imprisonment, he almost got into the charge of rebellion again, and finally turned the danger into a disaster and got what he wanted. The Lingshan Gang really fulfilled its promise again, and even the old mansion of King Rui was returned to him as promised, which made him happy at the same time, but also shocked, and also made him begin to have a trace of jealousy of this powerful Lingshan Gang. A series of major events happened frequently, as if layers of thick fog made him unable to see the road ahead, and he always had a strong feeling that behind this dense fog was not only pushed by the Lingshan Gang, but also a pair of invisible hands manipulating a qiē.

King Rui slowly walked into the inner room, and the people had already cleaned the house almost completely. Liang Yinhuan is not a comfortable and lazy person, so there are only ten maids in the house, some of whom are rewarded by the emperor, but whether these people are here to be subordinates or eyeliner, Liang Yinhuan is clear in his heart, and the other part is his cronies brought from Fuzhou.

He sent his subordinates around him, sat alone in the house and made tea, in the past five years, he gradually became interested in the tea ceremony, perhaps because of the word "tea" that is, "people are among the grass and trees", life is a lifetime, the grass and trees are autumn, a few degrees of cold and warm, a little complicated.

As he was immersed in his thoughts, there was a slight sound from the window, though he looked around cautiously and saw a man lying lazily on his bed. ”

King Rui was surprised for a while, wondering when he had broken into the inner chamber, and why he was almost unprepared. He quickly got up and closed the door, then walked back to the bed, and said nervously, "You! When did you come in? Can anyone see you? ”

Qiu Feng stretched out unscrupulously. "There are few guards in the prince's mansion, and my guard is lax, of course I can come and go freely, as if I am in a no-man's land."

King Rui was dissatisfied: "You are too freewheeling, do you know how many eyeliners the emperor has placed in this palace?" If you let the emperor know about you and me..."

Qiu Feng coldly interrupted the other party's accusation. "Don't worry, the prince. With the secret light skills of the Lingshan Gang, even if the people in your house have sharp eyes, they can't see any clues. ”

King Rui sat back down at the round table and asked, "Why didn't you wait for this king in the Yanyu Building, and you actually came here without making an opinion?" ”

"Qiu Mou naturally came to congratulate His Highness on your housewarming!" Qiu Feng also got up and sat next to King Rui.

"How can a guest sit on the master's bed as soon as he comes?" "Besides, the king's guests all came in through the gate, and the gentleman on the beam was not the king's guest." ”

The sudden sarcasm made Qiu Feng stunned, Lingshan helped to save King Rui, he was not grateful, and he was still so cold. Qiu Feng laughed at himself and said, "Yes." His Royal Highness's guests are all dignitaries, how can they afford to be a charlatan like us? ”

King Rui also realized that his words were too heavy, and with an embarrassed look on his face, he weakly explained: "That's not what I meant, don't misinterpret it." After speaking, pour a cup of tea for the other party as a gesture of goodwill.

Qiu Feng took the teacup with a smile, took a sip of hot tea, and when he looked up again, his eyes were like a pinch of autumn water, clear and charming. "Your Highness is still satisfied with the newly renovated Ruiwang Mansion?"

King Rui lowered his eyes and did not answer the other party, but opened another topic. "Your Lingshan Gang is really powerful, how did you know that the Ministry of War sold imperial court weapons privately?"

Qiu Feng smiled faintly, but there was an unconcealable pride in his smile. "The disciples of the Lingshan Gang are all over the world, and it is not difficult to inquire about some news, not to mention that His Highness also believes that evil cannot prevail over good, and paper can never contain fire?"

King Rui stared at Qiu Feng tightly, his deep pupils like a bottomless abyss. "Thinking of using bitter meat tricks to temporarily keep this king in the capital, you have gambled big enough on this game of chess!"

"Naturally, we have all the best preparations and odds to win, so we will choose to put His Highness in danger for the time being."

Qiu Feng's self-confidence made Liang Yinhao frown slightly, and asked: "You do things so that the king can not care, but why do you want to implicate the queen mother?" With the power of the Lingshan Gang, there must have been people in the court, so why didn't they send someone to privately report the crime of the military department? Last time in Yanyu Lou, the king said that don't implicate the queen mother again! Do you really think that this king is just talking? ”

Qiu Feng did not avoid King Rui's scrutiny, but raised his chin slightly, and said with a smile: "Does His Highness really think that the emperor wants to move that Feng Weirin?" If it weren't for the public announcement of Feng Weirin's crime in front of everyone, forcing the emperor to give an explanation, would His Royal Highness really believe that he Liang Yinhao would bear to cut off his right-hand man? What kind of person Liang Yinhao is, His Royal Highness knows better than me. For him, the well-being of the people is not important, the justice of the world is not important, only how to hold the supreme imperial power firmly in his hands is what he really cares. ”

Every word and word of Qiu Feng was like fine rain falling on the surface of the lake, causing ripples in King Rui's heart. Suddenly, silence filled the surroundings with a terrifying aura, and the air seemed to condense in the next moment. Liang Yinhuan was as fixed as a statue, and only the Adam's apple moving up and down between his throats revealed his amazement at this time.
