(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Huan Yan understood at least one thing: the emperor thought that Lou Ji knew the truth, thought that only she could dig out the truth from Lou Ji, and thought that he would definitely be able to ask everything from her mouth......

It was only because of the original concession that the emperor had many ideas.

Huan Yan suddenly wanted to drink, and when he thought of wine, he couldn't help but feel sad, "Duan Shizi...... Did you see that? ”

Lou Ji nodded, but didn't say anything.

Huan Yan bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, "Tell me about it." ”

"You really want to hear it?"

Huan Yan nodded slowly but firmly, "He's not just a cousin, he's also one of my best friends. ”

It is rare for men and women of the clan to become friends, but it is very natural to say it from Huan Yan's mouth.

Lou Ji said: "A total of fifty-one attendants, counting the emperor, a total of fifty-two bowls of toast to Duan Shizi, the emperor on the horse dance, Shao Jun Qian chanted poems to help the fun, the emperor got off the horse and hugged Duan Shizi and cried, we went out of the garden, and when we went in again, Duan Shizi had fallen. ”

He said as simply as possible, Huan Yan listened very seriously, and asked, "As with the rumors, Duan Shizi was drunk?" ”

"It's true that he was drunk and unconscious, but I believe he died of suffocation." Lou Ji still remembered the large stain on the emperor's chest, and Duan Shizi probably couldn't breathe in the emperor's arms.

Huan Yan's eyes suddenly moistened, but she didn't cry and hurriedly wiped it, "What did he say?" ”

"I only said that I was ashamed of Your Majesty, and I didn't say anything else."

"He is the most revered and trusted of us in His Majesty."

"So Your Majesty will weep bitterly for him."

Huan Yan picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, although he tried to control it, his hands couldn't help but tremble, "Yes, I can make Your Majesty cry bitterly...... The rest of us may not even get a tear. ”

"Your Majesty has no choice, if the case is interrogated by Tingwei, Duan Shizi will suffer more."

Tingwei not only interrogated, but also tortured in various ways, and a large number of former relatives and friends were exposed in person.

"King Guangling is still in Tingwei Prison, and now my family is also suspected."

Lou Ji shook his head, "Your Majesty asked you to come to find out the news, but he himself will soon be able to find out the truth, and King Xiangdong will not be implicated." ”

"Have I asked you anything?" Huan Yan asked, since she guessed the emperor's purpose, she hadn't asked about the leak again.

Lou Ji smiled, and also poured himself a cup of tea, the last bit of tea, more than half a cup, raised a glass and said: "Confidentiality can not be discussed, sadness does not need to be discussed, the county lord is willing to replace wine with tea, and talk about it?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll never drink again......" Huan Yan also picked up the cup.

"Save a little, just this little tea, the eunuchs here probably won't listen to my orders."

"It's good to taste it carefully."

The two of them each took a small sip, tilted their heads slightly, looked in different directions, and smacked secretly.

"I tasted a hint of tribute tea." Floor Road.

"This is Gong Cha, it's just cold. Well, I tasted a little bit of the old wine in Guanzhong, which went straight into the viscera and had a strong heartburn. ”

"Admire."

The two took another sip, and Lou Ji said: "I taste a little Jiangdong rice wine, gather and disperse, scatter and reunite, although it is not strong, it is better in the endless distance." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both understood what the other party meant, the important ministers returned to Beijing, the place was ownerless, Huan Yan thought that the rebellion in Qinzhou would become more and more intense, and Lou Ji inferred that the people of Wuzhou would be in chaos again.

After taking the third sip, there was only some tea foam left in the cup, "I tasted a little bit of Hedong nectar, quiet as a virgin, and if you move, you will shoot through your heart." ”

Hedong is a state, and Lou Ji thought that the Shen family would definitely wait for an opportunity to raise troops to attack Luoyang.

Huan Yan shook his head, "If Bashu is brewed privately, the aroma will not come out of the Lu, and outsiders will get drunk as soon as they enter." ”

Bashu Yizhou is dangerous, and those who get it can sit on the mountain and watch the Central Plains tiger fight.

There is no water to taste, and the building still says: "I also tasted the Bo Xing of Luoyang Palace wine, which led people into the fairyland when I was drunk, and when I woke up, my body and heart were empty, and there was nothing left." ”

There was still a little tea left in the Huanyan cup, she didn't drink it, she was in high spirits, and there was no need to replace the wine with tea, "It's more like a tribute wine from the Western Regions, the first taste is sweet but not strong, and before I know it, I was already drunk and talking nonsense, I tasted it in the palace of the Queen Mother." ”

Regarding the leaker, Huan Yan also guessed six or seven times out of ten.

Lou Ji sighed: "Your Majesty has probably guessed the clue at this time and is verifying. ”

"And then? Your Majesty will not be ......"

"No, Your Majesty has the same name, no matter how angry you are in your heart, you will never bear the name of unfilial piety. What's more, there is a turning point, the gap between the Lou family and the Huangfu family is deep, and the situation is the same as fire and water, Your Majesty can take advantage of the fisherman with a nudge. ”

"Then it's the other family's turn."

"Your Majesty claims that he will keep a few families and give them the opportunity to dismiss their officials and return to their ranks, and retire in their old age, as for Ling Zun'......"

"Don't talk about this, Your Majesty's promises are no different from threats, the heavier the promises, the greater the expectations, the greater the expectations, and the deeper the responsibility...... The ancients said, 'A companion is like a tiger', and Your Majesty is the fiercest tiger in the world. After leaving the palace, I will strongly persuade my father to resign. ”

"I thought it would be easy to persuade, as long as the reason was laid out, the other party would naturally agree. After these days, I realized that it is difficult to persuade people, and it is difficult to move mountains. I can see the danger, because I am not in it, I am not in it, and once I have gained power, I may be like everyone else, no matter how obvious the reason is, how urgent the danger is, I am reluctant to let go. ”

Huan Yan bowed his head and said after a while: "There are people who can be persuaded first, and then there are words to persuade, but the master 'knows that he can't do it', as a daughter, I can't know and not say, let alone watch my father fall into the well." ”

How could it not be the case with the foundation of the building, "There are few people in the world who can be persuaded, and it has to be ...... Someone in name and in fact. Lou Ji wanted to use the study of name and reality to explain, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that it was not so simple, and he could only say the ambiguous words "name and reality".

"You like the study of name and reality?" Huan Yan asked.

"The boy has been studying and learning from everyone, and he has just gotten a glimpse of some doorways."

Huan Yan was curious, temporarily put aside his troubles, asked and answered with the building foundation, and talked about the learning of the name and the truth.

"There is an overlap between the study of name and reality and orthodoxy, and there are obvious differences, which are more ...... It's more straightforward. ”

Lou Ji gently patted the table, "That's right, orthodox learning teaches you to be the best person, the person you should become, the name of the truth does not seek the best, do not ask the should, as long as the name is responsible, this 'real' is straightforward." ”

"Okay, then you can put it bluntly, what is my name? What is real? ”

Lou Ji was slightly stunned, "You...... This is not how to follow the name and responsibility, you have to listen to his words and watch his deeds, and there is a judgment after the big event, and it is physiognomy that looks at the person. ”

Huan Yan smiled and said: "No wonder the study of name and reality has not been known to the world, it is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do." ”

The two suddenly had nothing to say, sat silently, and after a while, Lou Ji asked: "I have always wanted to ask, why do the names of the children of the clan have the word 'interpretation'?" ”

"You know my name?" Huan Yan is the title of the county lord, and she has another name.

Lou Ji shook his head, "There must also be a word 'interpretation'." ”

"Well, in fact, there was no such word, after His Majesty ascended the throne, in order to show filial piety, a large number of temples were built for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was a good Buddha, and the world knew it. At first, it was just a few people who added the word 'interpretation', and then everyone added it, regardless of generation. ”

"I see."

"You claim to have the world in mind, but you don't even know about it?"

"I don't have many friends, so I have nowhere to ask."

"Am I your friend?"

"Would you like to be a friend of the thief?"

"Anti-thieves have their own opinions, and friends are personal friends. If the seventeenth prince is unlucky, I will sprinkle wine for you every year, if you have a spirit, hear the words 'Zhang Shicicada who does not drink', you will know that it is me. ”

Huan Yan said that he died, but Lou Ji didn't care, "Which cicada?" ”

"It's not the Zen of Zen, the cicada of the summer cicada, when my mother gave birth to me, I was upset by the cicadas outside, saying that I was the reincarnation of the cicada, and I came to annoy her, so I gave it such a name."

"And then? Are you annoying the princess? ”

Huan Yan shrugged his shoulders, "Perhaps, I haven't seen my mother for several years before returning to Beijing this time." ”

The two of them are sometimes happy and sad, sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low, and they are inexplicably a little drunk.

Time flew by, and it was suddenly dusk outside, and a eunuch said at the door: "County Lord, the Queen Mother is coming, please come with me." ”

Huan Yan winked at Lou Ji, tacitly, this is the emperor wants to see her, one is to inquire what Lou Ji said, and the other is to test whether the county lord is loyal.

Lou Ji got up and gave her away, saw her walk to the door, and said loudly: "Thanks to the intention of spilling wine, if I get lucky, and the county lord is dusty—since you have quit drinking, what else do you like?" ”

Huan Yan said without looking back: "Half a cup of herbal tea, a seventeenth son, is enough." ”

As soon as Huan Yan walked out, Shao Junqian stepped in and said with a smile: "Lou Gongzi is okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little hungry." Lou Ji didn't have much to say to this person.

"The palace is full of people who see the wind and steer the rudder, and when they see Lou Gongzi fall out of favor, he doesn't even care about the minimum diet."

"There are also people who happen to have a good wind, but they dare not change the rudder." Lou Ji said lightly.

"Hehe, I was isolated and helpless at that time, how could I see a good wind? However, I still thank Mr. Lou for his unspoken kindness. ”

"No need, my words will only make the emperor think that it is a discordant plan, which will not hurt you and will not benefit me."

"Ordinary people fall into the water, often catch indiscriminately, Lou Gongzi would rather sink himself, I am very grateful."

"Hey. Your Majesty has found the leaker? ”

"Well, the woman is wrong, and that's true."

"I want to hear about it."

"Lou Gongzi doesn't know?"

"Guess what's right."

The emperor had made a bet that he would find out the leaker as soon as possible, and Shao Junqian came here to announce the matter to Lou Ji to show the emperor's wisdom, so he said: "The problem is with the king of Jibei, he is His Majesty's own brother, in charge of the palace guards, and His Majesty has to reveal some things to him, so that he can be prepared, just in case." The king of Jibei was not strict enough, and went home to mention a few words to the princess, the princess was smart, guessed that the Lou family was going to fall, and was reluctant to marry her daughter like this, just to make the general feel at ease, so she came up with a plan. ”

"She let Lord Fangde escape the marriage?"

Shao Junqian shook her head and said with a smile: "The king of Jibei didn't reveal it all, the princess was just guessing, in case the Lou family didn't fall, escaping the marriage would cause trouble, so the princess still sent the county lord to the Lou family." ”

"As long as the princess runs away from marriage, she doesn't need to run away from marriage."

"That's right, if the Lou family falls, the princess will announce to the public that her daughter has escaped from marriage, and the person who worships the church is not the county lord, if the Lou family is stable, then send the county lord back, apologize, and pretend that nothing happened."

"Then why send the county lord to the church?"

"In the woman's opinion, she took the church very seriously, and sent a slave and maid, for fear of leaking it out and angering the general, and changing it to another daughter, for fear that she would have a bad reputation in the future and would not be able to marry a good family with the right family. In short, it was the lord of Fangde who visited the church with Lou Gongzi that day, and she was the one who was picked up in the middle of the night, and she was the one who was seen by Mrs. Lan. ”

"No wonder Madame Lan didn't say anything, she must have thought it was strange."

"So after she entered the palace, she pleaded with the hard general's wife in front of the queen mother, but the queen mother didn't know, so she summoned the princess of Jibei and forced her to ask about it, and Mrs. Lan guessed the rest, and immediately sent someone to send a letter to the general, and even the hard general didn't know."

Lou Ji couldn't think of these details, but he had already guessed that the key must be Mrs. Lan.

"What is Your Majesty going to do?"

"Your Majesty—I'm going to let you out of the palace."

Lou Ji was stunned, no matter how clearly he thought he could see, the emperor could always surprise him.
