Lan Ziyi followed behind Father-in-law Yu and said:

"Zhang Zhongtang just invited the juniors to come over and talk about it."

玉公公 says:

"Then you received the post and went immediately? Why are you in such a hurry? “

Lan Ziyi said:

"The leader of the Zhangzhong Hall is a role model for scholars in the world......"

Fair Fish:

"So you're going to come under his door?"

Lan Ziyi hurriedly explained:

"The juniors just chatted with Zhang Zhongtang in the past."

Father-in-law Yu asked:

"And what did you talk about?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"It's just a discussion about the ethics of some readers."

Fish Father-in-law to:

"Oh? How did Zhang Mingyue explain to you the ethics of a scholar? “

Lan Ziyi said:

"Zhang Zhongtang asked me to fulfill my duties, be loyal to King De, and persuade King De to get on the right track."

At this time, Yu Gonggong led the four people through the front hall and into the back hall, Yu Gonggong went straight to the main seat, and Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers sat on the guest seats.

After being seated, Father-in-law Yu didn't ask about Zhang Zhongtang anymore, but asked the four of them:

"How? Have you eaten dinner? “

The four of them nodded, and Father-in-law Yu ordered:

"Let's have tea, then."

A few little fathers-in-law outside served tea in response.

Yu Gonggong picked up the tea bowl and began to taste the tea carefully, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers saw that Father-in-law Yu had no background, and they didn't dare to speak.

After a while, after waiting for Grandpa Yu to put down the tea bowl, he finally spoke:

"Wei Hou, you just said that Zhang Mingyue talked to you about the integrity of a scholar?"

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"Exactly."

Father-in-law Yu asked again:

"Then how did he tell you about this reading festival?"

兰子义 says:

"Zhang Zhongtang told me that as a minister, I should be loyal to the Lord, instead of complaining that I was born at the wrong time."

Father-in-law Yu glanced at Lan Ziyi and asked slowly:

"What do you say?"

Lan Ziyi felt that after listening to Zhang Zhongtang's words, he suddenly opened his mouth, and he also had a backbone in his heart, and when Father-in-law Yu asked him, he replied firmly:

"Ziyi is willing to do his best to serve the king of Germany, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, Ziyi does not dare to deviate for a while. The father-in-law is also worshipping Yue Fei, of course he understands this ambition to serve the country loyally. “

Father-in-law Yu took a sip of tea and said:

"Yue Wumu is loyal to the 'country', you are planning to be loyal to the 'people'!"

Lan Ziyi asked:

"Yue Wumu is for the emperor, and the official newspaper is also for the emperor, since serving the emperor is to serve the country, what is the difference between 'people' and 'country'?"

Father-in-law Yu looked up at Lan Ziyi and said:

"Of course there is a difference, before the emperor ascended the throne, he was just a person, after he ascended the throne, he became this Taizheng world, from that moment on he was not a person, but a symbol, at that time my allegiance to the country is to be loyal to him, but in the final analysis, I am still loyal to Taizheng, which is why we Taicheng Wei worship Yue Wumu."

兰子义 says:

"Then what if the emperor and the world are inconsistent and deviate? What is my father-in-law going to do? ”

Father-in-law Yu picked up the tea bowl, glared at Lan Ziyi coldly and said:

"Wei Hou, your idea is very dangerous." Then start drinking tea.

Lan Ziyi said:

"No, father-in-law, I'm just insisting on my ethics as a courtier."

玉公公 says:

"You're holding on to your vanity." Father-in-law Yu put down the teacup and asked in a different tone:

"And what do you think of King De? Is it worth your life for him? ”

Lan Ziyi also picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and said:

"That's not the point, no matter what the king does, I should be loyal as a courtier, this is my duty and my mission, only then can I be called a man."

Father-in-law Yu shook his head and said:

"That means King De can't do it."

Lan Ziyi was slightly annoyed when he heard it, and he didn't know why he wanted to get angry, but insulting King De like this just made him intolerable.

兰子义 says:

"King De is young, and there is still a long way to go, as long as I am willing to do my best to persuade King De, he will definitely be able to walk on the right path."

Father-in-law Yu said:

"If you dare to do this, you will only be killed, as the saying goes: the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. What are you nagging every day to persuade a prince not to find death? ”

Lan Ziyi couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, jumped up and said excitedly:

"Daddy Yu! You are a courtier who does not want to be loyal to your duties, and you are always thinking about these crooked ways. How could my Lan Zi Yizhong's liver and gallbladder be killed? Even if I am condemned for my outspoken remarks, it is the glory of my courtier, and the place of death! This is the integrity of a reader! “

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Tao Zhutu on the side hurriedly and quietly pulled Lan Ziyi's sleeve, and Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu also gave a look.

Lan Ziyi saw that the Tao brothers were pulling him, and said angrily:

"What? What are you pulling me for? I, Lan Ziyi, are brave and loyal, and the Yellow Queen of Heaven and the earth are all seen, what is there to stop? I'm a reader! I have integrity! ”

Hearing the hustle and bustle of someone in the inner hall, the Taicheng guards who were waiting outside came in one after another, and the blades were exposed.

The Tao brothers were so roared that they all lowered their heads and were silent,

Seeing this, Father-in-law Yu didn't get angry, just sat on his seat and looked at Lan Ziyi quietly,

Lan Ziyi also stood in the hall, short of breath, angry, and stared at Father-in-law Yu without giving in.

Father-in-law Yu waved his hand at the Taicheng guard who came in and said:

"It's okay, let's get out."

Taicheng guards put the half-exposed waist knife back into the sheath, and pushed it out of the house after saluting with fists.

Lan Ziyi's mood also recovered slightly, and he clenched his fists and said:

"Father-in-law, forgive me!"

Father-in-law Yu raised his hand, motioned for Lan Ziyi to sit down, and then said:

"Zhang Mingyue was famous for his quick thinking when he was a teenager, and he passed all the exams all the way, and he became an official at a young age, and he has been up and down in the sea for decades. He can do the position of the first assistant of the military aircraft department, but he is not mixed up, Wei Hou, do you understand? As he spoke, he looked at Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi didn't reply, just sat on the chair.

Father-in-law Yu saw that Lan Ziyi didn't react, so he had to continue:

"Zhang Mingyue's kind of old rivers and lakes are not like you......" Father-in-law Yu paused, as if considering the wording...... It's not something a young man like you can handle. ”

As soon as Lan Ziyi heard that Father-in-law Yu was stirring up, the nameless fire in his heart rose again, this time he tried to control himself and did not get angry, but he still said very unceremoniously:

"Father-in-law means you're more suitable for me to deal with?"

Hearing what Lan Ziyi said, Father-in-law Yu squinted his eyes at Lan Ziyi, and said with a sneer:

"I've been supervising the army in Beizhen since your grandfather's generation, your grandfather can't handle me, your father can't handle me, and now you still can't handle me. I'm a prisoner, and you soldiers won't like me, and your father doesn't like me even more, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't trust me, and your father knows this very well. There is no one in this capital who can be trusted except for me, Yu Chaoen, and you Lan Ziyi, the sooner you understand this, the sooner you can use your hands and feet. ”

Lan Ziyi replied:

"It's not so much about trusting you, it's about being controlled by you, right?"

After hearing this, Grandpa Yu sneered:

"You can realize that I control you, I can't control you, I'm afraid that someone will use you as a gun and make you speak for others!"

When Lan Ziyi heard that Father-in-law Yu was sarcastic about Zhang Mingyue, he was annoyed, got up and clasped his fists and said:

"My father-in-law is too worried! Ziyi has his own justification and will not be deceived by traitors. Leave! “

Then turn around and go,

The Tao brothers looked at Father-in-law Yu and Lan Ziyi, so they had no choice but to get up and salute with their fists and follow.

Father-in-law Yu looked at Lan Ziyi's back and said:

"Then forgive the old man for not sending it. Young man, I hope you don't understand too late, and there will be no remedy. Keep your waist card, and come to me if you figure it out. “

Lan Ziyi didn't step back out of the back hall, and the Tao brothers followed,

Just arrived at the gate of the main hall, a eunuch was already waiting there with a lantern, and after seeing Lan Ziyi, he said:

"Wei Hou, please come with me."

Then bury your head in front and lead the way.

Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers entered the darkness of Miyagi again,

The cloister aisles meandered and repeated like an infinite extension of infinity that merged with the darkness,

And the darkness is lit only by the dim light of the hand,

Lan Ziyi didn't understand why he was so angry,

Although Father-in-law Yu is strong, he is by no means so aggressive today, compared to before, Lan Ziyi feels that today's Father-in-law Yu is much more amiable.

But for some reason, Lan Ziyi just can't accept what Father-in-law Yu said today,

There is a nameless fire in Lan Ziyi's heart, which has no roots and no fate, but it can burn everything.

Tao Zhuhu, who was following Lan Ziyi, wanted to speak to Lan Ziyi many times, but he always didn't know what to say, and Tao Zhulu behind him also kept signaling Tao Zhuhu not to say more by the afterglow of the lights.

Lan Ziyi unconsciously followed her father-in-law.

The father-in-law in front of him stopped suddenly, and the harmful Lan Ziyi almost hit the other party.

Lan Ziyi was about to ask the reason for the sudden stop, when he heard the father-in-law who led the way say:

"The little one has seen Grandpa Long."

Lan Ziyi crossed over his father-in-law who was bending down and saluting, and cast his eyes in front, only to see a group of young eunuchs and palace maids carrying lanterns, a eunuch wearing a purple brocade python robe, soap boots, and a black sand crown on his head standing in front like a peony flower blooming under the shade of leaves. This person should be about the same age as Lan Qianzhen, with one hand behind his back, the other hand playing with the bone wrench on his thumb, his face seems to be smiling, although his expression has hardly changed, it makes people feel uncertain, his eyes are by no means empty, but he can't see any brilliance, as if he has built a wall between his eyes and his heart.

In addition to the appearance he saw, Lan Ziyi seemed to feel the existence of this person, just like feeling the presence of his mother or the feeling he had when he first met King De, but the strange thing is that this feeling is surprisingly weak this time, and if it weren't for Lan Ziyi, he would never feel it when he saw this Long Gonggong, but this was not due to the fact that the feeling was not obvious, on the contrary, Lan Ziyi almost felt the power of the sun, but the light of the sun was artificially obscured. Lan Ziyi felt the two of them again after leaving Luoyan Pass, and what he originally thought was a mother-son induction now came to someone else, which had to arouse Lan Ziyi's suspicions.

Of course, Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers both knew that this Gonggong Long was the current eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch, so they also bowed.

Although this father-in-law Long is a eunuch, his voice is not sharp, but there is a domineering aura mixed in it.

Long Gong asked openly:

"It's Lord Weiting Hou Lan Ziyi here?"
