The little girl who was guarding the corridor was dozing off, and he was so frightened that he got up when he touched it lightly with his toes, raised his voice and exclaimed: "The second master is here!" ”

Guerlain, the big girl in the inner room at night, heard the movement, and hurriedly put on her clothes to come out to serve, she was a young girl, in a hurry, a touch of white skin on her chest, smooth and crystalline, which made people greedy.

Shen Yuan glanced at her chest more, then waved his hand, lowered his voice and said, "Don't wake up Madame." ”

While speaking, Wang Shi had already woken up and got up, she pulled a small bun, wore a brocade jacket embroidered with a hundred butterflies, and put on a lynx skin robe, and a row of red gold seal swastika buckles on her chest, which looked even softer under the light.

When Shen Yuan entered, she had already ordered Chunxing to add some silver charcoal, and made hot tea for him with her own hands, took off the cold cloak and coat for him, and said distressedly: "You will come back until dawn, and you will go to court in less than an hour, you are also old, and you still think that you are steel and iron?" ”

Shen Yuan took the porcelain cup, drank the hot tea, and changed into a fur coat under the service of the Wang family, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he asked the rest of the people to retreat, smiled apologetically at the Wang family, and said, "It's almost dawn and wake up the lady......"

"Do you and I still need to be polite between husband and wife?"

Wang has also understood his temperament for many years, and seeing that the solemnity between his eyebrows has not dissipated, he is smart not to ask, just pull him to the big bed and lie down, and personally massage the acupuncture points on his feet for him to relieve fatigue, "You are so crooked on the bed to take a nap, I will call you up when the time comes, and you will not miss the hour." ”

The lamp and candle were extinguished, the carved cover of the bed was closed again, and there was no movement in the room, except for the long night after the last night, which passed slowly in the cold plum fragrance of silver charcoal, until it burned out the hour after its worst.

Shen Yuan lay on the bed, only feeling that his body was sore and tired. But there was no sleep.

On the top of the hazy gauze tent, you can vaguely see the dense and exquisite embroidery of the crane Ganoderma lucidum...... He simply opened his eyes and remembered the scene at the Fang Cai Hall meeting.

Staggered, watching the play, it seems to be lively, but in fact it is a temptation.

Xia Yuanji was drunk and listened to the play from beginning to end, but what he wanted to say was through Li Wenyu, the waiter of the household department, who had already hinted thoroughly to him.

The scene on stage was about Wang Baochuan's brother-in-law Wei Hu running rampant in the capital, bullying men and women, Li Wenyu said with a smile. "The so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he is just a gentleman, even if he is a prince, he should be punished in front of the emperor for doing this, right?"

These words seemed to be a joke, but Shen Yuan immediately thought of a big news in the capital the day before yesterday - the king of Han privately selected all the guards and indulged them to loot in the capital, and hundreds of people and rich families were victimized, and the cry was shocking.

Is this an insinuation that the king of Han will be impeached?

Liu Guan on the side was a white-faced and fat middle-aged man, smiling like Maitreya Buddha. When I saw the second play "Wu Han Kills His Wife", he also talked about the drama, "Wang Mang is really vicious, tsk." When he was good at Weifu Feifei, no one cared, thinking that he was just greedy for some money and power, but in fact, his ambition was getting bigger and bigger, and he finally wanted that dragon chair! ”

These words are even more thrilling. If you think about it, part-time jobs can make people sweat.

Shen Yuan just smiled perfunctorily at that time, but his heart was like a stormy wave-Xia Yuanji was originally inclined to the crown prince, and it was not surprising that his left and right hands had that kind of hint. But Liu Guan has always been at odds with the prince, and was even punished by the prince in court a few years ago, and Zhu Di, who was still in Beiping, even wrote a letter to admonish the prince at this time.

Even such an enemy was held in the sleeve by the prince?

Shen Yuan seemed to have the fat and tall figure of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and that kind and even loyal smile appeared in front of him...... He couldn't help but shudder.

Compared with his younger brother King Han's military exploits and domineering image, the prince has always given people the impression of being a "good man" and "benevolent and bulliful", and King Han even robbed him in front of the emperor, he was not angry, just laughed happily.

But above this turbulent and unpredictable court, he is the orthodoxy in the minds of most civil officials, and for the entire Confucian students in the world, the eldest son is naturally the heir to the throne.

Such a prince, I am afraid that even the emperor himself is afraid of three points, but in the face of his younger brother King Han's aggressive advance, he is retreating step by step, and now, is he finally going to kill with one blow?

Why do you find yourself?

Shen Yuan showed a wry smile, Xia Yuanji was an old minister of Emperor Hongwu, with great prestige, and he was in charge of the emperor's most trusted household, but the more powerful he was, the more he couldn't stand on the side of the prince at will, otherwise it would only backfire.

The "Three Yangs" bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion are very good candidates, they serve the emperor's side, draft edicts to participate in political affairs, although the grade is not high, but they are faintly the emperor's most trusted ministers.

But among the "Three Yangs", Yang Shiqi, known as "Xiyang", has assisted the prince in supervising the country for many years, and has long been a hardcore princeling.

As for "Nanyang" Yang Pu, he himself was selected to wash the horse for the prince, and he was imprisoned because of the "Yingjia case" in Yongle for 12 years, and he is still locked up.

If he is willing to say a word, he can top other people with a hundred or a thousand sentences, but this one can be decided, Lao Cheng is serious, and he is never willing to say a word about the dispute between the East Palace and the King of Han, and even some Wenchen speculated that he had a good impression of the King of Han who was good at military strategy because of his monograph on border defense. Therefore, this one is also unreliable.

Therefore, Shen Yuan, who has served as a subordinate official of the Yanwang Mansion for many years, and has recently been promoted by leapfrogging, is regarded by them as the most worthy of help, as long as he mentions a little sentence or two of the Han King's lawlessness in front of Zhu Di, coupled with the impetus of the Yushitai and the Six Departments to the people in the matter, and compete for impeachment, the matter is bound to make a big fuss, and the Han King will definitely not be able to get out of this catastrophe!

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel in a dilemma and had a headache: as a close minister of the emperor, he should be impartial, not party or group, this is the real pure ministerhood, although the prince is the prince, but as long as he does not ascend the throne for a day, Shen Yuan does not have to say anything to him.

But if you refuse to help, you will completely refuse the prince's wooing, not only will the next son of heaven be completely offended, but also oppose most of the civil servants, it is simply an instant erection of a large number of strong enemies, just the cold arrow stumbling in the future will make people's scalp tingle!

But what if you get on this boat? Yang Pu's wry smile deepened - how could King Han be a character to be messed with? Once he knew that it was his own words that were not good for him, he was afraid that he would rush into his house with soldiers and horses and whip people to death - it was not the first time he had done such a thing as beating the court officials, and such a high-flying and domineering person would not spare his hands when he launched a ruthless attack.

The left is not either, and the right is also in a dilemma, Shen Yuan is really entangled at this moment.

He sighed heavily, not thinking about it at all. But when he remembered that when he said goodbye, Xia Yuanji took his hand and said meaningfully, "Listen to Dongli, Ling Gongzi has recently emerged in the army and done a great thing, and even his name is mentioned in the upper position!" ”

Dongli is Yang Shiqi's number, and he can only be called so if he has a lot of relationship with him. Xia Yuanji was an old minister who followed Emperor Hongwu, and he never used the saint to call the emperor, but only called "superior".

These words were an understatement, but they sounded like a thunderclap in Shen Yuan's ears!

It's the little brute of Guangsheng!!

He has a total of four sons, but the one that fits this sentence is Guangsheng, who joined the Beijing camp and was recently transferred back from Beiqiuwei.

This little brute, what's going on with him outside?

Thinking of this son who gave him a headache and disgust, Shen Yuan was so angry that even the sound of breathing was a lot rougher.

Wang Shi was lying beside him, and found that he seemed to be angry, and before she could guess the reason, she heard Shen Yuan suddenly ask, "That little brute, is he still at home recently?" ”

"Ah, Rising this kid ......"

A cold glint flashed in Wang's eyes, but he pretended to be surprised: "This kid was grounded by you after he came home, and this time it's quite subsident—did he cause something again?" ”

Speaking of the most embarrassing, she brought out three points of pity in her words, "He is also pitiful and angry, he made trouble with his family and went to join the army, but the subordinate Shangguan was actually convicted and arrested, he will inevitably be depressed when he comes back empty-handed, master, you can forgive him for a moment or two." ”

"Hmph, his wings are stiff now, and his ability is great!"

Shen Yuan's eyes showed a cold and complicated light, he snorted and turned to get up, Wang hurriedly followed, dressed and washed for him, and waited for him to say a few more words, but Shen Yuan kept his mouth shut about Guangsheng, which made Wang's heart even more anxious.

It was easy to wait for Shen Yuan to finish washing up and hurriedly used breakfast, he took a sedan chair to the palace to go to the court, leaving the Wang family to face a table full of dim sum porridge dishes, but he had no appetite.

Jiao Liu, who was waiting on the side, saw that her expression was uncertain, and carefully stepped forward to serve her a small bowl of steaming ginger vinegar noodles, and put shredded mustard and diced radish.

"Madame has to be in charge of the house every day, and she always needs to use a little, and this morning I ate this noodle well, and I will take a few copper coins to reward the kitchen."

When Wang heard what Jiaoliu said, he smiled slightly, and then asked her, "Is there any movement over there in Jiaheju?" ”

Jiaheju is the courtyard of the second young master Guangsheng, Jiaoliu knew the clue as soon as she heard it, and whispered in her ear: "The second young master is obediently grounded, but there is no movement, but the few maids and mothers-in-law who follow him to serve go to deliver food every day, but they know how to protect the master."
