said that Lin Hai and the others woke up in a rather delicate courtyard, looked at it for a while, and walked towards the main hall with their arms.

As soon as I stepped into the threshold, I smelled the fragrance of porridge. I saw that several small cases were put together into a large table, a large pot of fragrant and thick white rice porridge was placed, and there were more than a dozen coarse porcelain bowls, and white handkerchiefs with white porcelain plates were placed next to the bowls. Everyone didn't care about Sven and ran forward, there was a note on the desk, and the first few lines of words on it were excellent pavilion style.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the food and drink in the edict are not good, please clean your hands with a handkerchief and make white porridge to recuperate. Please do not eat enough for fear of stomach dissatisfaction, one bowl per person is enough. After the main meal. ”

After looking at each other for a long time, Gao Changzhi first said, "It's so strange, what is the saint doing?" ”

Chen Lai said: "Could it be that the saint has heard some untruths, and he doesn't believe that we and other thieves are under house arrest for the time being?" ”

Su Zheng waved his hand: "What does he mean, Hengzhu Su has never lived up to the grace of the saint for a moment, and he is frank!" The old man was hungry in his belly, so he drank the porridge and said it! ”

Lin Hai frowned and said, "It's just that why do they want to fill us with a bowl of fans in that nunnery. Medicine? ”

Su Zheng sat down and said, "This time you have an empty stomach, what can you come up with." ”

All the hungry men pressed their chests against their backs and sat down with them. Those who were hungry and anxious didn't care about decency, so they first filled a bowl of white rice porridge and drank it with their necks up. Some of them took the veil and wiped their faces, and shouted, "This veil is wet." Then he rolled up his sleeves and put porridge in the back, and sat in front of the desk with a small porcelain spoon to eat. After a while, a large pot of porridge bottomed out.

Because the porridge was not enough for these people, and the porridge was sticky, some people couldn't help but take the big porridge pot to scrape the wall. As soon as he picked up the basin, he saw another piece of paper buttoned underneath. Lin Hai hurriedly took it in his hand.

"Out of the east side of the ear room is the small pond, there is a water pavilion three-curved bridge, there are three connected big houses across the bridge, the name is 'Xiaotang Mountain', it is a hot spring pool. There are several chaise longue couches behind the screen by the pool, and a number of change of clothes are prepared on the couch. ”

Everyone took the note and looked at it, and then went out of the east room to see that it was indeed a pond, but it was not small. Along the Sanqu Bridge through the water pavilion, there are three huge houses on the side of the bridge, and the plaque "Little Tang Mountain" is written on it. Push the door and enter, and there is a large screen. Around the screen is a large bath, and many clothes are neatly stacked on the chaise longue, so high stacks. These old men were all wearing unclean prison clothes, and they had not bathed for a long time, so they were afraid that the clean clothes would not be stained with the prison clothes on their bodies and dirty, so they carefully compared the size of the clothes, which was also interesting. There are many clothes, but they are all cloth. It's just that they were still prisoners just now, and they can't care about this.

After bathing and changing clothes for a while, the whole body is comfortable. Then I went around the big screen at the door, and saw that there was a small table out of thin air, and there was a sign on it, which read: "There is food prepared in the main hall." ”

Everyone hurriedly returned to the main hall, the empty porridge bowl was gone, and a table of food had been prepared. It's just that it's not a delicacy of the mountains and seas, but a very ordinary home-cooked food for the people. The bowl of white porridge that he had just drunk was long gone, and the old men were hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and ate clean again. This time, I finally ate enough, touched my belly and smiled.

But he lifted all the plates, and sure enough, there was another skewer. "There are more than 10 scattered houses in the courtyard, each with a bed, and it is troublesome to allocate and settle it by itself. The study room is shared. There is a tea stove and tea leaves in the house, so please find yourself. There is a well pavilion in the back garden, and there is a carbon house next to the well pavilion, and the water is self-pickup and carbon-free. ”

"Hiss-" Several people took a breath in unison, and Su Zheng looked at Lin Hai: "Ruhai, what does the saint mean?" ”

Lin Haidao: "I don't know if it's a saint." As he spoke, he glanced at Su Zheng, and Su Zheng was silent.

A dozen adults got up and went out and walked around the garden. There are two adjacent big houses next to the rockery, the orientation is good, the scenery outside the house is also good, and the study is diagonally opposite. Everyone liked it here, and they were too embarrassed to speak first. There is a word panel in the house, which reads, "The value of water on the river is like the potential of the sea". Lin Hainai pointed to the banner and smiled: "This house is prepared for me!" It was inconvenient for the people to refute! And let him get here. Su Zheng took advantage of the situation to go down to the next room, under the pretext that he was familiar with Lin Hai. Both of them have already opened their mouths, and it is naturally difficult for others to take it again. When I looked at the house later, I was rarely polite, and politely got the smallest room. After a circle, the house of Lin Su and the others was really the biggest and best. They went to Xiaotangshan by the way, and the dirty prison clothes left behind by the first were gone.

After dividing the room and returning to the main hall, the dishes and dishes had been cleaned up, and more than a dozen plates of snacks were left. And there is a signature: "I wish you all a happy life in Wuyuan." Don't ask when the Son of Heaven will see him, and the last general will not know. ”

Everyone looked at each other. Two of the younger ones ran outside to take a look, and the courtyard door was locked, and no one answered for a long time.

After a while, Lin Hai sighed: "The books in the horizontal and vertical study are good." ”

Chen Lai asked, "Brother Ruhai, are we under house arrest by the saint?" ”

Lin Hai waved his hand and supported his forehead with his sleeve: "The old man is a little dizzy, and he hasn't slept these days, so go back and lie down for a while." ”

Su Zheng hurriedly stepped forward: "You old thing is unsteady in your steps, I will hold you." ”

The two of them walked away with each other, and the rest of the adults gathered together to discuss.

Back at the residence, Su Zheng helped Lin Hai onto a chair and asked, "Ruhai, what you said before you may not be a saint." ”

Lin Hai snorted, pointed to the desk and said, "Didn't you see that although there are four treasures of the study room in various rooms, only you and I have already studied ink?" ”

Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that there was already thick ink on the inkstone.

Lin Hai spread out a piece of paper and picked up the pen to brush the writing. Su Zheng came over to take a look at a list of books he wrote. Lin Hai wrote one wall and asked, "What other books do you want to read?" ”

Su Zheng said: "It's just that if you write it, the general will buy it for us?" ”

Lin Haidao: "If he doesn't buy it, let's punish that kid for writing twenty articles!" Fifty articles! ”

Su Zheng hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "Do you know that general?" ”

Lin Haidao: "I don't recognize the appearance, the horizontal and vertical must be invited by Cong'er." ”

Su Zheng was shocked: "Cong'er? ”

Lin Hai snorted heavily again, and put down his pen: "How can a saint tease us with such tricks? The sign just now is obviously his handwriting, and the tone is the same as this stinky boy's usual virtue. Even if it's not him, it's his friend. When I heard you talk about how you fought with Liu Thief on the night you were released from prison, I realized that you were all still awake at that time. ”

Su Zhengqi said: "Are you confused? ”

Lin Haidao: "I was knocked unconscious when the answering person whistled in the distance, at first I thought it was because I was afraid that we old men would make a mistake, but when I think about it, I know the person who answered." ”

Su Zheng thought for a while: "It may not be Cong'er." ”

Lin Haidao: "Even if he didn't return to Beijing himself, these people must have been arranged by him." Huan'er doesn't have so many fancy intestines as him, and he doesn't have anyone as bold as him who dares to pretend to be a saint. Again. He pointed to the words in the house, "Isn't that a clear sign that I should live in this house?" It is very close to the study well. In addition, when I was just bathing, I noticed a twine on my head, so I suspected that we had been brought here in a sack all the way. In my early years in Suzhou, when I was in Suzhou, I had the Taiping Dart Bureau fill a sack. He slapped his thigh, "Yes!" When he left Beijing in the old year, he persuaded me to resign, saying that I was afraid that there would be chaos in the future, but I refused to agree. He swallowed as if he had something to say, and muttered something to someone he could rely on instead of telling me. ”

Su Zheng pondered: "Could it be that the reliable person is the general who robbed us this time?" ”

Lin Haidao: "Eighty percent is." It's just that since this person refuses to show up, he probably won't let us go back lightly. Now that the traitors are in turmoil, the Son of Heaven is uneasy, and it is the time when the court can use you and me. You have to try to meet him and persuade him. ”

Su Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since it was arranged by Cong'er, don't think about it, the war in Beijing will not let us go until the disaster is over." It is useless to be a scholar, and it is not you and me who will be used by the court. ”

Lin Haidao: "King Xian has been a little discouraged and timid in recent years, I'm afraid he will make a mistake." ”

Su Zheng sighed: "King Xian has no soldiers in his hands, what can he do when he encounters these soldiers and bandits?" I don't know what day it is, the eldest prince has ascended the throne. ”

The two of them suddenly felt gloomy.

The group of old men outside sat and waited in the hall until it was time for supper when there was a sound outside, and they hurried to the front yard. I saw the gate open, and a few soldiers walked in with food in their hands. The lords hurriedly gathered around and asked, "What about your general?" The soldiers didn't say a word, put their things on the table and left. They took advantage of the open courtyard door to look out a few more times, and there were neatly connected houses outside. I wanted to see more, but the door was locked again.

Lin Su and the others also came to the front, and after dinner, Lin Hai took out the book list from his arms and left it on the table. He later added another sentence: Did Liu Thief succeed? Can the eldest prince ascend the throne?

At breakfast the next day, there was another note, which read: "There are many books, it is not easy to buy, please stay for a while." Liu Tong searched the capital and ascended the throne the day after tomorrow. ”

Lin Hai hurriedly took that one back to the house, and added a line of words on it: "But someone stopped him?" ”

At noon, a new note came: "The time has not yet come, I don't know." ”

Lin Hai was helpless, so he had to stretch his neck every day and wait for news.

The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch. Liu Tong couldn't find out who had kidnapped the people in the Imperial Prison anyway, so he had to order someone to secretly investigate again. Because Jia Cong and others had a tunnel to go out of the city at will, they had found out that a large group of people had moved closer to the capital for only 30 miles, so they spread the news everywhere in the market, asking the people to hoard some grain and rice at home, and not to go out if they had nothing to do, and they were afraid that there would be a war in Beijing.

Anything that is usually valuable is of little use in wartime. For a while, the price of rice, flour, salt, etc. in Beijing rose rapidly, and the price of gold and jade antiques fell rapidly. Qin Keqing was overjoyed and bought all kinds of antique stubborn weapons at low prices; After Xue Baochai got the letter, he immediately followed; Shui Soluble hesitated for two days and joined in. The sixth prince sent a guest to see Jia Huan again, but Jia Huan still pushed but refused to help him, and only gave another sentence: "The eldest prince can't sit on that chair." ”

A few days later, the day of the new emperor's accession to the throne arrived. The four gates of Beijing were closed, and the ministers of the DPRK and China pretended to be sick and hung crowns, and half of them hung their crowns. The uncles of the new emperor were sick, and Liu Tong was not reluctant. I never thought that the enthronement ceremony would be peaceful, and even his royal brothers did not make trouble, and the new emperor sat on the dragon chair in a praising situation.

As soon as he ascended to the throne, he immediately issued an edict to appoint Liu Tong as the Taifu, the commander of the Jingwei and the chief assistant of the cabinet, and his uncle as the Pingzhang political affairs, and immediately sealed a large number of officials. The present Shangzun who is still in the east of Tianjin is the emperor, the queen is the queen mother, and the concubines of the former emperors are all crowned as concubines, and all the princes are crowned princes.

The entire capital trembled and waited for three days, only waiting for the imperial court to change blood, and all the important positions were changed, and Lin Hai's Hubu Shangshu was naturally removed and replaced with a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Later, Lin Hai received a note at the dinner table: "Congratulations to all of you, the new emperor has made you a bachelor of Hanlin." 'Tsunowu Garden' can be renamed 'Thirteen Bachelor's Garden' in the future. Although Lin Hai was angry, he saw a trace of disdain in the ridicule, and he was a little more happy.

On the evening of the seventh day, Liu Xianglian led people to go around the city quietly as usual, and was surprised to find that the brigade without a banner had approached the capital less than three miles, and if nothing else, the city would be attacked tomorrow. It happened that Liu Tong stayed at Yingge's lady that night, Jia Cong hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Help him." ”

It was night, Liu Tong was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and suddenly heard a soldier shouting outside, so he hurriedly got up, put on his clothes and came out to check. A soldier stepped forward and replied, "My lord, a hidden arrow flew out of nowhere and was nailed to the door!" With a letter. ”

Liu Tong was shocked, and ordered someone to light a lamp and candle to take a look, and the letter read: "Today, there is an army of 130,000 people of unknown origin, lurking less than three miles west of Beijing, and there are several trebuchets in the camp, and they will attack the city in a few days. When my father was there, he had to make 600 yuan to help him get out, although the money was small but the favor was heavy. A special offer. As the saying goes, if you stay in the green mountains, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Now that the enemy is strong and the king is weak, the new king has ascended the throne and is the king, so it is better to rob elsewhere and obey the orders of the Son of Heaven and not submit to him. ”

After reading this letter several times, Liu Tong couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly led people to beat horses and left. When I saw the staff for a while, I used this book to show it, and the staff was also shocked. After deliberating for a while, the staff said categorically: "This person is reasonable! I just don't know if it's true or not. My lord, it is better to prepare both hands. Pack up first, and tomorrow let people go out of the city to explore. Liu Dong Yunzhi. He ordered people to straighten out the soldiers and horses, pack up their bags, and go to the palace to invite the queen mother and the new monarch.

The new monarch and the queen mother were awakened in a dream, and they were shocked when they heard that there were rebels entering Beijing. Also packed up overnight.

Just after the end of the hour, the sound of a trumpet suddenly came from nowhere, and immediately a soldier came to report: "Enemy attack! There is an enemy army attacking the city in the north of the city, and the endless torches pressed by the black pressure, I can't see the number of people clearly! ”

How could Liu Tong not believe the words on the sleeve arrow? There are 130,000 people, and he only has 10,000, where did he fight? Break the shout: "Go!" "Taking advantage of the siege of the city, he led the men and horses with the new monarch and the queen mother, and forcibly seized people from the homes of several useful ministers, and hurriedly opened the south gate and fled.

When the people in Beijing woke up, the streets were full of soldiers, much more than Liu Dong's people last time.

Until noon, Fang Youxin'er came, and Jiannan Jiedu made Fang Xiong lead 80,000 troops to occupy the capital. Jia Cong struck the case and said: "The city head changes the king's flag!" The time of the warlords has arrived. "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
