Chapter 109: The Target

After the end of the vacation, the monks finally returned, and the Hanlin Temple, which was originally a little deserted, suddenly gained a lot of popularity.

Zhao Yan saw Shang Shi again, it is a long process to repair history, burying the first case every day, it is very boring and boring, and it is easy for people to become numb and old-fashioned over time, but Shang Yan is not the same, he often has a humble smile on his face, he is gentle and polite to everyone, and he has the style of an ancient gentleman.

Zhao Yan didn't come to Hanlin Academy today to work, but to ask for leave, because there is more than half a month before he and Li Yun get married.

The scope of leave of officials in the Ming Dynasty is very wide, provincial relatives, ancestor worship, funeral, funeral, and marriage can be used as a reason for personal leave, and the procedures for asking for leave were played to the emperor by the officials themselves in the early Ming Dynasty, and the emperor personally decided.

After asking the business for clarity about the process, Zhao Yan walked to Zhang Yi's duty room, and asked someone twice on the way, and finally found the right place.

After entering the house and explaining the situation to Zhang Yi, he listened to Zhang Yi and said: "The old man is approved, and the old man will play on his behalf later, and Zhao Shu often just goes home to complete the marriage." ”

Zhao Yan thanked Zhang Yi and turned around to leave, but heard Zhang Yi say again: "Zhao Shu is often slow, the old man has something to ask you." ”

"I don't know what happened to Gong Zhang?" Zhao Yan said in a proper manner.

Zhang Yi picked up a stack of manuscripts from the table and asked, "I heard that "The Legend of the White Snake" was written by Zhao Shuchang?" ”

Zhao Yan nodded, this matter is already known to everyone, and he has nothing to hide.

"Exactly."

Zhang Yi's face was calm, he shook the manuscript in his hand, and said lightly: "Then this book called "Golden Vase Plum" is also written by Zhao Shuchang?" ”

what? Zhao Yan was really frightened, he locked the first suspect who betrayed him on the little eunuch Xining, and the second suspect was Emperor Zhu Qizhen, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

Emperor Zhu Qizhen didn't say that if he was 'greedy for fun' to read the novels written by Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan would definitely be unlucky, but the most unlucky thing was Zhu Qizhen himself, those officials would definitely catch this matter and scold the emperor fiercely, and even the history books would record a few sentences such as Emperor Yingzong not doing his job properly and liking to read small yellow books like "Golden Vase Plum", and Zhu Qizhen had no reason to betray Zhao Yan at all.

As for Xining, this little eunuch is actually from some city governments, and he is used to being able to bend and stretch, what he thinks Zhao Yan can guess a few points, it is nothing more than taking the opportunity to pass the script for Zhu Qizhen to show his face in front of the emperor so that he can take the opportunity to take the throne, if Zhao Yan is exposed, Zhao Yan is unlucky, the emperor is unlucky, and Xining himself will be unlucky, Zhao Yan believes that with Xining's IQ, he will definitely not be unable to see through this problem, so Xining's motivation is not big.

The news inside and outside the palace is not equal, except for the emperor Zhu Qizhen and the little eunuch Xining, who else in the palace knows that "Golden Vase Plum" was written by himself? Zhao Yan couldn't guess anything, but it was useless to guess, he still had to pass the level of Zhang Yi in front of him first.

"It's not." Zhao Yan shook his head categorically, the matter was unclear, and he couldn't admit it if he was killed, he pressed his heart and continued: "Xia Guan has never heard of this script, I don't know where Zhang Gong got it?" What's wrong with that? ”

Zhang Yi blinked his old eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Hahaha......" After laughing a few times, Zhang Yi said: "That's it, the old man won't sell anything to you, so let's just say it." This book was given to the old man by Cao Bus when the old man went to the cabinet yesterday, and Zhao Shu often knows how Cao Gong got this book? ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, these old oilmen who have been immersed in officialdom for decades are all virtuous, just now they said that they would not sell Guanzi, and they forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

"How can the lower officials know, I don't know how Cao Gong got it?"

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "The old man doesn't know. ”

Zhao Yan was speechless, he really couldn't figure out what the gray-haired old man in front of him meant.

"Although Cao Gong did not tell the old man the source of this script, it was revealed that it was circulated from the palace, and the person who wrote the script was Zhao Yan and Zhao Guomei, the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, I don't know how Zhao Shu often explained?" Zhang Yi said slowly.

"This ......" is false, Zhao Yan felt that he might have forgotten to eat in the morning, causing him to be a little flustered at this time and his brain was a little hot.

Zhang Yi flipped through the manuscript in his hand, and before Zhao Yan could come up with a suitable statement, he said: "This kind of world story, the old man also loved it very much when he was young, but now that he is old and has to manage a lot of things, he has long lost energy for this. ”

After a pause, Zhang Yi put down the manuscript: "However, this "Golden Vase Plum" is very well written, if it weren't for the old man's will, I'm afraid that I would have to read it all night last night." ”

"Zhang Gong originally liked this too." Zhao Yan didn't know what to say, so he had nothing to say.

"Huh." Zhang Yi chuckled and said: "It smells like a demon and pulls out the whale's teeth, and the hole is easy to understand, this is the old man's private comment on this book, but if the old man is allowed to publicly evaluate it, the old man only has five words - this book should be burned." Zhao Shuchang is not a mediocre person, you should know why the old man is like this. ”

"Cao Gong and the old man are the chief and deputy examiners of Zhao Shu Changchun, and they naturally attach great importance to Zhao Shuchang, so they don't want to see Zhao Shuchang become the target of the public in the future, so the old man has this remark today, I hope Zhao Shuchang will think about it carefully after he goes back, after all, the rumors spread very quickly, and people are terrible."

Zhao Yan walked out of Zhang Yi's room, although he was indifferent on the surface, his mood was a little heavy, but he had already made up his mind, so he didn't stay in the Hanlin Courtyard, and quickly returned to the rented courtyard, ordered Li Er to grind ink for himself, and then plunged into the study, and wrote silently for two days day and night, and finally wrote the whole book of "Golden Vase Plum".

"Li Er, you hurry back to Shenzhou, hand over this manuscript to Wang Ye Wang, and then deliver this letter to him, and then hurry back quickly, remember not to make a noise."

Zhao Yan handed over the packaged manuscript and a letter to Li Er, and then sent Li Er out of the gate, after watching Li Er's figure disappear into the corner of the street, Zhao Yan turned around and bolted the courtyard door, returned to the house and did not take off his clothes, and fell asleep, he didn't sleep well in the past two days, and when his spirit was relaxed, he really couldn't hold on.

Li Er came back the next evening, and Zhao Yan was a little sorry for the wind, frost and dust on his face, so he let him rest for two days before leaving for Shenzhou.

The wedding date is approaching, Li Yun is full of joy but a little gloomy, now she is no longer the ignorant little girl she was at the beginning, she is about to get married, but her parents and brother are not around, occasionally midnight dreams back when the sadness arises, Li Yun avoids the maid Xiang'er, and runs to Zhao Yan's house alone to cover her mouth and cry, but today Xu has just woken up from the dream, her brain is not very clear, and when Li Yun quietly ran to Zhao Yan's house and sobbed silently, she found that there was someone on the couch, and then she remembered that her fiancΓ© had returned.

Zhao Yan saw a familiar figure standing at the door in a daze, and beckoned without thinking, and only opened his eyes when Li Yun came to the front that there was no movement for a long time.

Seeing clearly at night, Zhao Yan casually pulled Li Yun into his arms and said with a wicked smile: "What? Can't wait to be my daughter-in-law? ”

After waiting for a while and not seeing Li Yun answer, Zhao Yan took a closer look at the lovely person in his arms through the faint moonlight.

"Why are you crying?" Zhao Yan stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears on Li Yun's cheeks, and asked, "Do you miss your father and mother again?" ”

Li Yun buried his head in Zhao Yan's arms and snorted twice like a puppy.

Zhao Yan had a headache, so he had to cheer up, half promised and half laughed for a long time, Li Yun turned from sadness to joy, and then noticed the abnormality in the lower abdomen, and the ghost made him stretch out his hand and shake it hard, and heard Zhao Yan's cry of 'ecstasy'.

"Let go, let go." Zhao Yan said in Li Yun's ear with pain and happiness.

Li Yun's face was crimson, but his hands did not move, and he buried his head in Zhao Yan's arms and said hatefully: "You just said that my parents and brother will definitely come back next year, is it true?" ”

Zhao Yan hurriedly swore an oath: "It's true." ”

Li Yun said again: "These days, the prince's wife has taught me a lot of things, if you lie to me, I will ...... I'll castrate you. ”

Zhao Yan smiled bitterly, after saying all the good things, Li Yun finally let go of his hand.

"Hey, I'm letting go, you're getting that thing off my stomach, I'm a little panicked." Li Yun listened to the increasingly heavy wheezing sound in his ears, and his heart was a little panicked.

Zhao Yan smiled in Li Yun's ear: "I want to too, but it doesn't listen to me, why don't you teach it a lesson for me with your hands?" It's just a matter of tapping, it's soft and not hard. ”

Li Yun was surprised and said, "I'll teach it for you?" How to teach? ”

Zhao Yan smelled the fragrance on Li Yun's body, his sleepiness had long since disappeared, and the male hormones dominated his hands to move up and down his delicate body, and the primitive impulse prompted him to push his reason aside.

"Just like Fang Cai, hold it and ...... lightly"

Zhao Yan was kind and seductive, and Li Yun's curiosity made her put her reserve aside, and stretched out her tender white and slender little hand seriously, and shook it as Zhao Yan said.

"Whew......" Zhao Yan howled wolf, and hurriedly said: "Lighter, lighter, let go." ”

Li Yun showed a little devil-like smile on his face, and pretended to be gloomy: "I still want to deceive people, the book given by Mrs. Wang is still there, you big villain, you just want to deceive people and you to do those shameful things in the book." ”

Zhao Yan pouted his buttocks, kept the 'murder weapon' away from Li Yun, and said after a while: "What did that princess teach you?" Tomorrow, my son is going to ask her well, I'm really angry, hiss...... It hurts. ”
