Meng Mengliang. The window paper has been whitened, the baby's cry suddenly put on a coat and rushed to the outside, only to see the nurse is holding the child gently patting, the curtain hurriedly took the child, pulled up the placket and the nipple breathed quickly to calm the child, the curtain saw that the nurse was not in good spirits, knowing that she was working hard at night, so he apologized: "I will bring the child, you rest first!" ”

The nurse thanked the housewife, and was just about to leave, but the curtain stopped her again, took out an ivory pick from the room and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days, and you go to the account room to receive five yuan of money, which is a little bit of my heart." The nurse took it and thanked her.

Curtain walked into the room with the child, her husband was still asleep, she paced back and forth in the room, humming nursery rhymes softly, her hands rhythmically patting the swaddling clothes, and gradually the child fell asleep again, she carefully put the swaddling clothes and Li Qing side by side and stared at the big and small two god-like faces, the corners of the curtain's mouth were smiling, and the face was full of maternal brilliance, as Li Jingyan said, the child and her husband did have a pair of crooked little eyes like themselves, and the rest was almost a copy of Li Qing, but much more delicate than him.

"Little one, you're a little girl, don't look like your father."

Suddenly, she felt something, Li Qing seemed to have changed, and when she looked closely, she saw that his mouth was getting longer and longer, and he was slowly kissing the child's face. She couldn't help but be angry and funny, her hand stretched out, and Li Qing's mouth was kissed on the back of her hand, 'Ha! With a bang, Li Qing jumped up and pressed the curtain down under him.

"Be careful! You're holding the kid down. ”

Frightened, Li Qing hurriedly shifted a foot to the left, and the curtain reached out and pushed the child outward, and at this moment she could clearly feel the changes in his body. couldn't help but stretch out his arm around his neck, and said with a smile: "Didn't you have enough last night?" ”

Li Qing smiled and didn't answer, only skillfully groped her body and untied her skirt for a while. The curtain turned red and gasped.

The sky of the first month always brightens late, and when a few rays of sunlight shine into the window paper, the curtain closes its eyes and lies on Li Qing's body, and the satisfaction on his face has not yet faded.

Li Qing gently rubbed her smooth back, staring at his wife, to be precise, she was not yet nineteen years old this year, but she had already borne the burden of the whole family, and the training since childhood made her more mature than the so-called age. Li Qing suddenly thought of Cui Qiaozhi's trust, originally worried that she would not be able to stand this stimulation. But after she had children, she almost forgot about the misfortunes of her childhood. Whether you know the truth or not, it doesn't matter much.

"Curtain, are you still thinking about your biological parents?"

Curtain's yes! With a sigh, he slowly opened his intoxicated eyes, looked at the child first, and saw that she was still asleep, then he looked back at her husband and said lazily: "Li Lang." What did you say? ”

"I'm asking, do you want to know about your biological parents?"

The curtain shook her head. He whispered, "I was wondering what they look like?" Want to know how they're doing now? But since I had you and my children, I have looked down on them, and I know what can I do, can I still make up for my past? If they're having a bad time, you'll help, so why should I ask? ”

She smiled lightly, and no longer asked Li Qing why she said this, got up and got dressed, leaned over and picked up the child with one hand, patted Li Qing's face with the other and coaxed: "You will take office the day after tomorrow, take advantage of these days to have a good rest!" I won't bother you, go talk to Xiaoyu and the wild goose. ”

Li Qing knew that his wife was a smart woman in ice and snow, how could she not understand the meaning of her words, but she smiled and walked away, it seems that the curtain does not want to recognize Cui Qiao, Li Qing sighed secretly, poor Cui Qiao, since the curtain has no such heart, how can he force this family!

Although his body was tired, Li Qing couldn't sleep, so he put on a piece of clothing and leaned on the head of the bed to think about what happened last night, obviously, this is a new move by Li Linfu against Wei Jian and even the prince, and it is very likely that he was instructed by Li Longji's base, it can be seen from Li Longji's layout that he is now taking the last step and finding a reason for abolishing the prince, Li Qing has actually guessed that the person Wei Jian went to last night is the prince eight or nine times out of ten, Li Heng is a fool, how can he not see his father's layout, Even if he wants to abolish the prince, he needs to find an excuse, in order to block the mouth of the world, Li Longji's fig leaf is still needed, if he is careful during this period of time and does not let Li Longji catch the handle, this prince will not be able to abolish it for a while, and then use various means to weaken Li Longji's determination, he may not be able to keep his position as the prince, but this person just can't hold his breath, and he wants to dig his own grave, and the heavens are evil, and it is still okay; and thou shalt not live.

Li Qing couldn't lie down anymore, and put on a thick robe and walked slowly into the courtyard, the spring cold is steep, the hoarfrost can be seen on the tiles on the courtyard wall, the cold sunlight is like the love of a forty-year-old man, the surface is bright, but in fact, there is no heat.

But the cold air made Li Qing's mind unusually clear and calm, in fact, Li Heng did not come to a dead end, there is still such a glimmer of life, since Li Linfu can say white as black, then he Li Heng only needs to say black as white, the key depends on whether he can grasp it, not to mess up, let alone lose his mind, as long as it can be delayed until the day after tomorrow, the chess he plays can be activated.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a maid hurriedly ran into the courtyard, saw Li Qing at a glance, hurriedly gave a salute, and handed over a famous post with both hands: "Master, there is a local official surnamed Yang outside who wants to see the master, and now he is waiting in the guest hall, this is his famous thorn." ”

"The surname Yang? Could it be that Yang Guozhong can't succeed? Li Qing took the famous thorn, opened the contents inside, and saw seven words written on the lower left: Yang Shenjin, the servant of the ministry.

"Yang Shenjin?" Li Qing was stunned with the name thorn, it was not that he shouldn't come, but that he shouldn't come to find himself at this time.

"Bring him to my study!"

Yang Shenjin didn't come here at this time to chat***, there must be something big, "Tell him I'll be here soon!" ”

As soon as Li Qing turned around, he returned to the room, his hair was still loose, and his clothes were loose, so it was rude to meet guests, especially an elegant person like Yang Shenjin.

The curtain and Xiaoyu were not there, and the maid who was waiting was also blown away by himself, Li Qing had no choice but to tie his hair in a bun, and then find a hard hat to put on, almost covered the ugliness, changed his clothes, took a wet handkerchief and rubbed it on his face, and then ran to the front yard.

Today's Yang Shen is gentle and past

Different, he used to go out to clean up neatly, the details are not a little bit of a day he is also quite sluggish, wearing a winged hat, the hat is a little messy, presumably also casually pulled out of the house, the back of the silk shirt is wrinkled, not showing his upright body, but a bit like a frustrated old man in the field, especially a pair of eyes, the eye circles are black, and the bags under the eyes are looming, which is the result of a sleepless night.

At this moment, he was drinking tea slowly with a teacup, but his eyes were not sweeping out the window, he seemed a little worried, Yang Shenjin had an inexplicable sense of crisis, Li Linfu had two princes in his hands, and the new prince would not allow him, as well as the emperor behind the scenes, 'The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking.' 'Knock down Li Heng, the next one should be him Li Linfu, and Li Longji's best means is to remove the edge first and then cut the roots, since this side is him Yang Shenjin and Wang:.

What makes Yang Shenjin uneasy in his heart, there is another thing, he is a servant of the ministry, holding the key to the promotion of hundreds of officials, yesterday afternoon, he received a strange debriefing report, which was written by Guo Xuji, the assassin of Yizhou, in the debriefing report, he not only wrote a review of the assassin's tenure, but also wrote about the vision of the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, but the Jiannan Jiedu envoy is Zhang Qiu and Qiong, how can it be Guo Xuji's turn to plan, Yang Shenjin immediately realized that this is Guo Xuji inadvertently leaked the upcoming appointment, Zhang Qiu and Qiong must be going to Beijing.

He came to Li Qing today to confirm his guess and find another way out. According to his inference, Li Qing's appointment as a household servant was the most important cornerstone laid by Li Longji in preparation for the establishment of the Zhangqiu Party, and the crisis was imminent, and if he did not work hard, he would only end up with a tragic fate.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Li Qing strode in, and said with a smile: "Yang Shilang is going to come to the door." Why don't you say hello and let Li Qinghao be prepared, it's really a snub, but don't blame it, blame yourself. ”

"How old am I to you, you can call me Brother Yang. We are all waiters, Yang Shilang, Li Shilang, it is awkward to call. ”

Yang Shenjin corrected Li Qing's name, and also gave him a salute and said with a smile: "I have long wanted to visit the door, and I just had a break today, so I came to see the virtuous brother." ”

"Come on! Brother Yang, please sit down and speak. ”

Although the progress of the relationship between the two seems to be a bit dry and meets the speed of fire, they both understand in their hearts that in the future, the officialdom and the officials will inevitably bump and bump, and a better personal relationship will be beneficial to both parties. As for Yang Shenjin being the backbone of the Xiangguo Party, Li Qing didn't care about it at all. There are only eternal interests in officialdom, and there are no eternal enemies.

Yang Shenjin sat down. After taking a sip of tea, he suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "I guessed correctly, is Yang Guozhong's unfinished case of impeachment of officials and businessmen done by Brother Xian?" ”

He saw that Li Qing's face was flat, and his eyelids didn't even jump, and he couldn't help but secretly admire him for being calm, and added: "I have been an official for nearly fifteen years, and the only time in my life that I have been given an old fist. It's what Yang Guozhong did, don't look at me and he are both in the Xiangguo Party. But he is the one I hate the most, and I need not deny that. ”

Li Qing smiled lightly, and he said unhurriedly: "Then I don't know how Brother Yang judged that Yang Guozhong's unfinished case was done by me?" ”

Yang Shenjin leaned forward slightly, and he gestured to Li Qingdao: "I can deduce from only two points that it was done by the virtuous brother, one is Yang Guozhong's original intention of impeachment, his so-called impeachment of officials and businessmen is actually aimed at you, since you are his real target, how can you not fight back, this is one;

The second is the means of counterattack, from your solution to the Nanzhao problem, from the last time Du Youlin's case, from your seizure of Shibao City, all kinds of things, your series of methods have a common characteristic, you like to kill people with a knife, and this time Yang Guozhong's methods are the same, only these two, how could I not think that you did it. ”

Li Qing looked up to the sky and laughed, neither admitting nor denying it, he changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Then what is the matter of Brother Yang coming to me today, it won't be as simple as a Yang Guozhong unfinished case!" ”

"Naturally, that's not the case."

Yang Shenjin smiled, and suddenly said solemnly: "Brother Xian, do you know that Li Xiangguo has already grabbed the handle of the prince last night, and the prince's abolition is a matter of today and tomorrow, doesn't Brother Xian have any ideas?" ”

"What will I think?" Li Qing smiled dumbly: "I naturally support the emperor's decision, but Brother Yang hastily leaked this matter to me, if it is known by Xiangguo, I am afraid it will be detrimental to Brother Yang." ”

Yang Shenjin shook his head, "Seeing that disaster is imminent, what do I care about, the ancients said, 'The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. How long do you think Li Xiangguo will be glorious, and I will be implicated first, so I came to find a virtuous brother to have a future. ”

Li Qing was silent, and said slowly for a long time: "Brother Yang thinks too highly of me!" Besides, the servant of the ministry asked the servant of the household to ask for a future, and it would not make people laugh if it was passed out. ”

"I'm not trying to ask for a future from my brother."

Yang Shenjin stared at Li Qing tightly, and said word by word: "I want to visit Lord Zhang Qiu, and I have come to ask the virtuous brother to introduce me to me." ”.

Li Linfu's twists and turns have not yet entered the palace, the news of the prince's private meeting with his relatives in Chongrenfang has spread all over the government and the opposition, and the atmosphere is suddenly tight, so that the Shangyuan Festival of Tianbao five years is covered with a layer of solemn atmosphere, the sixteenth day of the first month, the hundred officials are still on vacation, but the officials are high in the court, tandem, alliance, temptation, intrigue, everyone's hearts are full of worries and doubts, worried about their own future, worried about the direction of the political situation in the Tang Dynasty, but more in speculation about the redistribution of power after the prince was deposed.

The high-ranking and powerful people in the entire Tang Dynasty are all in the market, and there are long queues of junior officials who come to meet the middle and lower grades.

But there are also a few households that are quiet, and even the door can be dropped, and Gao Lishi's mansion is one of them, which is mainly because he is in the palace all the year round, and it is really difficult to see him, so it is also in vain.

But in the afternoon of this day, a person slowly walked in front of Gao Lishi's house, it was Li Qing, the new household attendant.

He went up the steps, took out the famous thorn from his bosom and smiled at the porter: "I know that the general must be in the mansion, please tell him, just say that Li Qing is visiting,"
