At this time, the Gangneung Pastoral Mansion was hung with white belts everywhere, and the main hall was hung with a big Dou Dian character

In the Jiangling Pastoral Mansion, Zhao Yuanzuo sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, stunned

Since leaving the palace and coming to Jiangling, a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, he has been in a daze alone except for eating and drinking

In the distance, his son Yunsheng, Yunyan, and Yuncheng were accompanied by their family members and knelt in front of the hall

His father, Emperor Zhao Guangyi, died, and there was a sad scene everywhere in the Jiangling Pastoral Mansion

According to tradition, when the emperor dies, the emperor's sons, except for the new emperor, each son must be mourned for three months, and there can be no festive colors in the house, and no one can laugh in the hall

Zhao Yuanzuo continued to guard the month of filial piety, he was tired, his face was haggard, and he just wanted to find a secluded place to rest at this time

When the father died, according to the normal mentality of a deposed prince, there should be more joy than sorrow, because the emperor died, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he could be amnesty, and he might be able to restore his previous identity under the inspiration of the new emperor's kindness

But Zhao Yuanzuo couldn't be happy, after all, he had a dislike with the new emperor Zhao Heng, recently, the briefing in the court has reached Jiangling, and his former teacher Xin Yuanbo was down, and Zhao Yuanzuo's heart was even more mixed

Xin Yuanbo taught his own teacher, and after he set up the prince, he taught himself the master of the book for two years, originally according to the normal law, Xin Yuanbo would definitely be glorified if he didn't have it, and the official worshipped a product

However, whether it is him or himself, he is too a failure in life and everything, so that in the end, he can't take any of them and can't lift them

Do you have any feelings for Xin Yuanbo? Yes, it's just interdependence, the relationship between lips and teeth, leaving the deep palace, thinking back to the beginning every day, the more he thinks about it, the more he can realize the so-called truth of life

Just when he thought about it repeatedly, why did the case of the Ministry of Rites and the Prime Minister happen, someone came to report it, saying that the former Xiangzhou Mu was guarded, and Cai Yuanlang asked to see him

According to the court briefing, wasn't Cai Yuanlang exiled because of the case of his mentor Xin Yuanbo? How did it come to me? Hurriedly put on his shoes and stood up, and said, please

After a while, Cai Yuanlang, who was dressed in a purple cloth shirt and hemp rope around his waist, and dressed as a peasant, appeared in front of Zhao Yuanzuo quickly, and saw Zhao Yuanzuo kneeling down to give a salute, Chen, Cai Yuanlang, see Lord Jianglingmu

Zhao Yuanzuo was amused when he saw Cai Yuanlang dressed up like this, and helped Cai Yuanlang up and said, I haven't seen you for a few days, and now you are dressing up more and more trendy

Cai Yuanlang stood up and looked at Zhao Yuanzuo, and said, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, if I wanted to be funny, I wouldn't dress up like this, I really encountered a big situation

Oh? Zhao Yuanzuo listened quietly

Cai Yuanlang glanced left and right, and said, this place is not a place to speak, and I also asked Lord Jiangling Mu to give me an offset

Zhao Yuanzuo saw that Cai Yuanlang was in trouble, but he looked at Lin Yuhe beside Cai Yuanlang and said, this is ~~

Cai Yuanlang said, this person saved my life, so it won't be in the way for her to wait here for a while

Zhao Yuanzuo nodded, and said, you come with me

Cai Yuanlang turned around and said to Lin Yuhe, you are waiting for me here for a while, and I will come when I go

Lin Yuhe carefully looked at the layout of the courtyard and nodded

The first time she saw such a big house, her mind was full of words, didn't this surnamed Cai want to sell me here, right?

But everyone in the courtyard is respectful to the so-called Jiangling Mu, such a big mansion, won't they just send me a maid, right? Even so, she still put her hand on the scimitar at her waist, just wanting to pull the knife to defend herself when the wind blows

Hearing Cai Yuanlang tell herself to wait for him for a while, she nodded and said, you go

Cai Yuanlang followed Zhao Yuanzuo, walked through the front yard, walked into the hall, turned left, and entered Zhao Yuanzuo's bedroom

Zhao Yuanzuo turned around and said to Cai Yuanlang, Yuen Long, you can talk about it this time

Cai Yuanlang told Zhao Yuanzuo that he was implicated by his mentor Xin Yuanbo because he signed the joint confession of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, exiled to Dingzhou, and met the assassination of soldiers on the road

Zhao Yuanzuo's eyebrows tightened, and he said for a while, you mean, you were assassinated on the way to exile?

Cai Yuanlang picked up a cup of tea on the table and was drinking wildly, nodding, exactly

Zhao Yuanzuo said, who did you offend in the court? What kind of grudge would someone pay for your life? Who would be so boring to kill such a five-grade petty official as you?

Cai Yuanlang said, in the DPRK, I have not done anything except for this signing coaxing, and I have not offended anyone

Zhao Yuanzuo thought repeatedly, if you didn't offend people in the court, it means that when you were in power at the local level, you must have done something immoral, and people hated you, so someone wanted your life

Cai Yuanlang laughed, I am an ordinary person, don't you know? What do you think of me?

Zhao Yuanzuo said, I don't know who you are, but when it comes to women, you are not honest, you already have a good wife like Yuan Xi, and now you are hooking up with someone else's little girl, and you are still a Miao person, you have been in local politics for many years and have become bad

Cai Yuanlang heard Zhao Yuanzuo talk about this, and said, I was assassinated this time, but I was rescued by others, where is the hookup, Brother Yuanzuo is too far-fetched

Zhao Yuanzuo asked again, is there really no such thing?

Cai Yuanlang looked solemn and nodded, there was no such thing

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said, nowadays, everyone is free, where are there still people who are embarrassed because of style problems, the so-called upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is more effective, and Brother Yuen Long is too worried

Cai Yuanlang said, the matter between men and women is a Confucian knot of scholars, Jiang Lingmu still don't want to make fun of it here, not to mention that I have a very good relationship with your sister-in-law Yuan Xi, and she has almost lost her life because of me several times, how dare I bear her

Zhao Yuanzuo nodded, you know

Cai Yuanlang said, it is also a coincidence that I came to you this time, but this incident happened in Tianshan Ridge here, because it was too close, so I went to you, and asked you to come up with an idea and help me analyze, how do you know that you have made fun of you again and again, if you do this again, I will leave and find someone else to find a way

Zhao Yuanzuo waved his hand, wrote a word with his hand on the table, covered it, and said, I think, the people of Zhongshu must have known it for a long time, you deliberately let me bother with these thoughts, otherwise, you write what you think on the table, and see if we guess the same

Cai Yuanlang already had an idea in his heart, but he was not sure for a while, and when he heard Zhao Yuanzuo say this, he also dipped his hand in the water cup on the table and wrote the word "Liao" on the table

Zhao Yuanzuo spread his hands and said, look at it, I will say that you have already known it in your heart, and sure enough, the two of us thought together

I saw that he also had the word "Liao" on the table

Cai Yuanlang moved the stool, sat in front of Zhao Yuanzuo, and said, what should we do now?

Zhao Yuanzuo said, now, the new emperor has ascended the throne, as the emperor's son, I should go back to Beijing for funeral, and you, I recently heard that you were exiled to Dingzhou, you should write a letter to your family, let the family go through the relationship in the court, and I will say a few words for you in front of the emperor, this is the plan

Cai Yuanlang had already had this calculation in his heart, and when he heard that Zhao Yuanzuo was now taking care of everything, he was exactly what he wanted, and nodded yes

Zhao Yuanzuo already knew that Cai Yuanlang would not go elsewhere, and when he chewed the root of his tongue, it must have been this meaning, but he still had to give more face, and said, we haven't seen each other for many days, and this reunion coincides with the fact that my father's new funeral is not good to eat and drink, so I will prepare a family banquet and wash the dust for the foolish brother
