Chapter I
"Someone! There are thieves! Catch the thief! Because of this sentence, the quiet Shangshu Mansion in the night suddenly rioted, and the torches were lit one after another, which startled He Luo, who was looking through the letters in the study. However, she quickly calmed down, quickly glanced at the important contents of the letter in her hand, silently jotted them down, put them all back in place, and closed the open compartment again.
When everything was restored to its original state, He Luo walked to the door and listened to the movement outside the door, and found that the servants of Shangshufu did not come in the direction of the study. She muttered softly, "Is there any other thief besides me who has taken a fancy to Shangshufu?" ”
Just when she felt strange, she suddenly heard a deep male voice interrupt the commotion. "What's going on? Haven't the warehouses always been very well guarded? How can you get into a thief? ”
"Returning to Lord Shangshu, the treasury has indeed been very tightly guarded, but this time the thief's tactics are very clever, the lock of the treasury has not moved at all, and the night watchman has not heard any movement. If it hadn't been for the fact that the windows of the storeroom had been opened, I'm afraid ......," replied another, who appeared to be the leader of the guards.
"I'm afraid of what? I'm afraid my treasury has been emptied, and you don't know it! When the window is opened, you don't react at all? A bunch of rubbish! Shang Shu's voice was full of anger.
"My lord, the window over there has always been sealed, and we didn't expect that thief to be so powerful that he could open the window without us noticing......" The leader's voice became quieter and quieter.
"If a thief is not powerful, can he be called a thief? A bunch of idiots! In contrast, Shangshu's voice is getting louder and louder.
"It seems that this Shangshu Mansion is nothing more than that!" He Luo smiled lightly, and was about to leave secretly when he accidentally touched the deadbolt and made some noise. The originally small sound was very clear at this moment, and the Shangshu Mansion, which was very quiet.
"What people!" When Shang Shu heard movement in the study, his whole body tensed.
"Stupid! I didn't know how to run, and I made a move. He Luo hurriedly retreated to the window of the study and prepared to escape through the window, and when He Luo was about to leave through the window, a frivolous male voice came from the roof.
"Master Sun, I just fell in love with your jade jade bracelet, and I want to give it to my Yingying to wear for two days. I'm afraid that I will directly ask you to disagree, so I can only take it without asking, and please bear with me. ”
The man seemed to have deliberately let He Luo hear it, and he said it very loudly. He Luo didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, so he decided to continue eavesdropping for the sake of caution. She wouldn't admit that she was curious about who this person really was, so she would take the risk to stay there.
Hearing this, Sun Shangshu became even more angry, and yelled at the roof: "Who are you?" How did you talk to this official? ”
"Oh? Who am I? After speaking, the man chuckled, "Lord Sun, I'll come down to make amends to you." ”
After hearing this voice clearly, He Luo smiled slightly, it seemed that there was no danger today, she lightly climbed out of the window, and after closing the window, she hid in the deep night.
The man glanced into the distance and said softly, "It's really stupid, and you want me to help you out of the siege." Let's see how you explain to your master when you go back. ”
Until the man completely disappeared from his sight, he jumped down from the roof and walked in front of Sun Shangshu. "Now Shang Shu can see who I am?"
By the light of the fire, Sun Shangshu finally saw his face clearly and hurriedly made a move. "It turned out to be the second son of Wen, and it was a subordinate official who had no eyes. You can take this jade bracelet directly, and the right official will honor you. ”
"That's not good, right? There is a way that a gentleman does not take people's favor, since this jade jade bracelet is Sun Shangshu's favorite, I am embarrassed to take it directly! Second Prince Wen smiled lightly.
"What's so embarrassing about that! With your honorable status, it is an honor for Xiaguan to be able to see this small jade jade bracelet of Xiaguan. The smile on Sun Shangshu's face was a little unbearable.
"Since Master Sun has talked about this, then I'm not welcome. I will accept this jade jade bracelet, and thank you for Yingying by the way. I really can't help but make such a big commotion! Otherwise, I'll invite Master Sun to listen to the music another day. I don't know what Master Sun thinks? Second Prince Wen's smile did not decrease, but Sun Shangshu was a little flustered.
This second son of Wen is certainly not terrible, but the Wen family behind him is not simple.
Everyone knows that although it is the emperor's world today, the power of the Wen and Liu families is extremely huge, Wen Huan and Liu Mu are ranked on the left and right respectively, among which Liu Mu's right minister is respected, and its power can be said to be so great that it can compete with the imperial power. And the Wen family is the only family in the court today that can compete with the Liu family. If it weren't for the fact that the Wen and Liu families had been at odds and could check and balance each other, the emperor's position would not have been stable. At that time, the emperor was still young, although he was ambitious, but because of the restrictions of the Wenliu family, he could not concentrate all the power in his own hands.
I thought that after Liu Mu died of illness a few years ago, the emperor could suppress the power of the Liu family, but who knew that Liu Mu's son Liu Moxing's talents and means were inferior to his father's, and all the ministers in the court recommended him to replace his father as the new right minister. At the same time, Wen Huan also felt that he wanted to return to his hometown when he was old, and the court at this time almost became the court of the Liu family. At the same time, Wen Huan's eldest son, Wen Zhili, wrote a letter to impeach many officials of the Liu faction for corrupting the law and listing their crimes one by one. The emperor used this as an opportunity to remove many officials of the Liu faction and let Wen Zhili succeed his father as the new left minister. The situation of tripartite checks and balances between the Wenliu family and the emperor reappeared, setting off a new round of court turmoil. And this second son of Wen is the younger brother of Wen Zhili, the current Zuo Xiang Wen Zhili.
