Xiao Tianyu entered the restaurant, which was crowded with people, and in the middle was a huge stage on which many dancers performed dances.

Shen Xingzhou looked around and found the figure of your son on the second floor, "Childe, that person is on the second floor." ”

A servant found them and hurriedly ran to entertain them, "Two guest officers, are you seated in the hall on the first floor or in the private room on the second floor?" ”

"Second floor." Xiao Tianyu said.

Shen Xingzhou gave a piece of broken silver, "Trouble the little brother to find a better position for my son-in-law." ”

In these years, there is money to make the ghost grind, and the broken piece of silver is on top of the little guy's salary for three months, Shen Xingzhou is generous, and the little guy is also waiting for him wholeheartedly.

Not long after Xiao Tianyu sat down, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Come in!"

It was the noble son who had just cut in line.

Since the noble son was so proud, Xiao Tianyu didn't give him any face, ignored him at all, and continued to eat side dishes with Shen Xingzhou and watch the young ladies dance.

It was also the first time that your son was ignored, and he held it in his heart, "Do you know, who my father is?" ”

Xiao Tianyu said arrogantly: "I don't care who your father is, anyway, that official is not as big as my father!" ”

Gui Gongzi just wanted to scold, but a servant beside him persuaded: "Eldest son, there are many people here, and it is difficult for the master to know if he wants to." ”

The noble prince glared at Xiao Tianyu fiercely, raised his head, and then said as if he was giving alms: "I am the son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, I have seen all the noble sons in the capital, I am very sure that I have not seen you, and your father is definitely not a big official." If you know each other, give me the bamboo card in your hand, and I will treat it as if this incident did not happen today, otherwise ......"

Xiao Tianyu said with a smile: "Otherwise, what? Will you take me to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? Then your father personally interrogated me, and finally put a few random hats on my head to convict me? What kind of place do you think this is? How dare the Son of Heaven be so presumptuous at his feet, is there still a royal law in this world? ”

Under the inducement of Xiao Tianyu, the noble prince said: "I am the king's law, Your Majesty is a fart, and he can't control me at all." ”

Xiao Tianyu said meaningfully: "You have a good father, it stands to reason that Your Majesty should summon you, if you think you have a good talent, he will give you a position that is not low, but today is the Midyear Festival, and Your Majesty also wants to rest, so I didn't see you." You haven't even earned an official position, do you need to be so anxious? The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is your father's position, but it is not your position, you are so arrogant, someone will accept you. ”

The IQ of the noble son is not low, and he immediately grasped the key point, "You, how do you know that Your Majesty intends to summon me!" ”

"Guess." Xiao Tianyu won't tell him!

The noble prince was so angry that he didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Tianyu, because he knew that there were very few people who knew about this matter, and if the person opposite him knew, it would definitely have something to do with His Majesty.

Xiao Tianyu took a sip of tea and threw the bag into the arms of the noble son, "Tell you!" This is my guess, the criminal department is the regent's party, how can Your Majesty see you, you are just swaggering in the name of the criminal department Shangshu, anyway, I'm just playing, seeing that you want to win so much, I pity you, this bag will be given to you! ”

The servant looked at Xiao Tianyu's dashing back and left, and was angry, "Childe, do you want to teach him a lesson?" ”

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the noble son, "Of course, let's go talk to my father and ask my father to help us." ”

Over there, Shen Xingzhou asked curiously, "Childe, do you think that son of the criminal department Shangshu will still come to trouble us?" ”

Xiao Tianyu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if he finds me trouble or not, anyway, at least when I see him tomorrow, I will have a reason not to give him an official position, and there will be another excuse for the dismissal of the criminal department Shangshu in the future, why not." ”

"Childe, where are we going to play now?"

Xiao Tianyu said without thinking: "Go to the river to see the lanterns and pray for the blessing of the Wind Country!" ”

Along the way, the two of them were speechless, Shen Xingzhou didn't know what he was thinking, Xiao Tianyu looked at the surrounding scenery intently, if he met a good-looking young lady, he would go to flirt with others, and selectively forget his identity as a woman.

The river is in a relatively remote part of the capital, walking and walking, and the people around him gradually become fewer, until there are only Shen Xingzhou and Xiao Tianyu and Qiao Zhuang's guards on the road.

Xiao Tianyu felt that the surroundings were panicking, "Xingzhou, is this going to be okay?" There is no one on the road, don't you say that there are many people who go to the river to put lanterns and pray for blessings? ”

Shen Xingzhou said helplessly: "Childe, if you go to put the lanterns, you will either hurry early or late, it is not time to be in the morning, but it has been a long time, and now it is neither early nor late, and there is naturally no one on the road." Moreover, everyone generally goes to the middle and lower reaches of the river, and we are going to the upper reaches of the river, so it is natural to ......"

Xiao Tianyu was embarrassed, she just asked Shen Xingzhou where was the best angle to see the lanterns, Shen Xingzhou said that it was upstream, and of course she asked Shen Xingzhou to take her upstream to see it.

"Childe, Shen Guard, someone here is seriously injured." A disguised guard crouched down and shouted.

Xiao Tianyu walked straight over and squatted down to check the person's condition.

The disguised guard said: "This man has a fatal wound in the chest, but maybe he deflected it, so his heart is fine, in addition, he has large and small injuries on his body, and two ribs are broken." ”

Xiao Tianyu turned the person's face over and saw that it was Xiao Hanmo.

Shen Xingzhou saw it and said happily: "Your Majesty, throw him here!" He will surely die, and Your Majesty will be able to rest in peace! ”

Xiao Tianyu was not as happy as him, and said solemnly: "No, Xiao Hanmo has not yet died, and now the DPRK is not completely stable, no matter who killed Xiao Hanmo, my suspicion is definitely the greatest, and Xiao Hanmo's henchmen will definitely not let me go." Now my plan can't be disrupted, I plan to weaken Xiao Hanmo's strength to the minimum, and then kill him, Xiao Hanmo died too early, and his strength will eat back against me. ”

Shen Xingzhou now also realized the importance of the question, "Then Your Majesty, what now?" ”

Xiao Tianyu stood up suddenly, "Leave two people to go with us, and the others will escort Xiao Hanmo to the palace, let the imperial doctor do his best to heal, if the imperial doctor can't cure well, they will all accompany me to the funeral." ”

"Yes."

After being silent for a while, Shen Xingzhou suggested, "Childe, let's go back to the palace!" I'm afraid that the regent's killers will catch up and we will be in danger. ”

"If they had horses, would we be able to outdo them?" Xiao Tianyu said lightly, "We are walking like this, are you sure that in their eyes it is not an escape?" ”

Shen Xingzhou hurriedly said: "Childe, we will all work lightly, I will take you away, it will be much faster." ”

Xiao Tianyu chuckled: "The two of us go, those two walk apart, pretending not to know each other, just when we are ordinary passers-by." Today's Midyear Festival, it is best to carry out assassination, but it is also the most difficult to carry out assassination, because there are too many officers and soldiers on patrol, and they do not want to be exposed, and they resolutely dare not kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

That's it, and that's all it can be. Shen Xingzhou did what Xiao Tianyu said.

Not long after walking, there was a group of people wearing strong suits and riding fast horses in front of him, and Shen Xingzhou's breathing was short.

Xiao Tianyu was afraid that Shen Xingzhou would reveal his flaws, so he pinched Shen Xingzhou's hand and motioned him to relax.

Xiao Tianyu pulled Shen Xingzhou to the side of the road and made way for the group of people.

The leader stopped when he walked to Xiao Tianyu's side and gave Xiao Tianyu a silver ingot.

Xiao Tianyu pretended to be very frightened and said, "This lord, we don't want this money." ”

The leader threw the silver into Xiao Tianyu's arms, "You answer us a few questions, this silver is yours." ”

Xiao Tianyu sneered: "Okay, okay." ”

The leader asked, "Are you from the capital?" Did you encounter anything suspicious along the way? Where are you going? ”

"Back to my lord, we are from the capital, today in the middle of the year, our two brothers plan to go to the river to see the lanterns, to see if we can meet some good girls. We didn't meet anyone along the way, not even a few people, after all, there are really few people who go upstream to see the lanterns. ”

The leader was puzzled: "I really haven't met anyone?" ”

Xiao Tianyu said sincerely: "Yes. ”

The leader said, "You can go." ”

Xiao Tianyu bowed to him and pulled Shen Xingzhou, who had been keeping his head down, away.

The leader narrowed his eyes, "It should be Xiao Hanmo who fainted, come here, search carefully." ”

When he was far away, Shen Xingzhou completely relaxed, "Childe is like a god." ”

Xiao Tianyu felt that his back was full of cold sweat, "Do you know who assassinated Xiao Hanmo?" ”

Shen Xingzhou thought for a while, and said ashamedly: "The regent has offended a lot of people over the years, and his subordinates really can't guess it. ”

"Look, there should be a river ahead!"

Standing on the edge of the river and looking downstream, the downstream is full of lanterns, and the bright light of the lanterns illuminates the entire water surface, like a fiery dragon.

Xiao Tianyu has been the emperor for a long time, and he brings some professional habits wherever he goes, "Xingzhou, these lanterns are very polluting to the environment, if you leave it alone, it may block the river and pollute the downstream, how to deal with it then?" ”

"There is a big net downstream that can stop most of the lanterns, and the officials along the river will also temporarily hire some people to guard the downstream to salvage, and when the time comes, the salvaged lanterns will be burned together." Shen Xingzhou replied: "Your Majesty, it's rare to have a rest today, so let's enjoy the scenery along the coast!" ”

Xiao Tianyu glanced at Shen Xingzhou, and Shen Xingzhou gave Xiao Tianyu the lantern that had been prepared in his hand, Xiao Tianyu put the lamp on the ground, lit the candle inside with a fire fold, put the lantern into the river, folded his hands, knelt by the river reverently, and prayed silently.

No one knows what Xiao Tianyu is praying for, for the country? For the people? For yourself? It is an indisputable fact that she will be a good emperor.

Shen Xingzhou looked at Xiao Tianyu's back, and secretly made a decision in his heart: Your Majesty, when the minister sees you ruling the world, the minister will be a little more greedy, and let the minister see you pacify the four seas!
