I thought I was careful in everything and kept everything secret, but I didn't expect that in front of the spies of the Imperial City Division, I had no privacy at all, and all of it was exposed, as if someone had removed all the fig leafs, how could Lotte not be surprised in his heart.

Putting on a smiling face, Tian Wei said: "Now that Tian has made such a mistake, I hope that Mr. will give advice to Tian and how to report to the official!" ”

"That's your stupidity!" Thinking of what happened to him, Lotte was ruthless: "With just a toothbrush, Le will be designated as a fine work of Liaoguo!" ”

Listening to Lotte's comments on himself, Tian Wei snorted: "Mr. really thinks that Tian is a fool who is greedy for merit?" ”

"Isn't it?" Lotte smiled contemptuously.

Tian Wei stared at Lotte and said seriously; "With a toothbrush, Tian can only suspect in his heart that Mr. is a fine work, and the reason why Tian really thinks that Mr. is a fine work is the pronunciation when Mr. speaks!"

"Pronunciation when you speak?" Lotte was surprised, not knowing what the connection between his voice and Liaoguo Xiaozuo was.

"Not bad!" Tian Wei nodded: "If it weren't for Governor Ye indirectly testifying for Mr., Tian personally went to Pingyu County to check Mr. Pingyu's entry and exit records, and confirmed that what Mr. said was true, otherwise Tian would still have decided that Mr. was Liaoguo until now!" ”

Lotte still looked puzzled, waiting for Tian Wei to continue.

Tian Wei continued: "Tian has been lurking in the north for several years, and is naturally familiar with the official dialect of the north, although the pronunciation of Mr. speaks is my big Song Yayin Yayan, but after listening carefully, the voice is a little similar to the Liao people learning Yayin Yayan, and then think of the toothbrush used by Mr. to clean his teeth, Tian will identify Mr. as a Liao State fine work, which is also reasonable!" ”

"Is there a Northern Chinese rhyme in Le's voice?" Lotte said in disbelief.

Nodding, Tian Wei said: "There is no word for curling up the tongue in Yayin, and Mr. occasionally pronounces such words when he speaks, which is quite similar to the northerners learning Yayin!" ”

Lotte thinks about it, this is really the case, I really didn't pay attention to it before, there is no tongue curling pronunciation in Yayin Yayan, this Tian Wei's observation is really very comparable.

The Tang and Song dynasties were the peak of the development of Yayin Yayan, and the scholars were all proud of learning Yayin Yayan, that is, ordinary people also learned Yayin Yayan to speak, and Lotte naturally learned Yayin Yayan, but Lotte unconsciously always mixed the Mandarin of his previous life into the voice, although it was not obvious, it was not strange that Tian Wei listened to it and noticed it.

Therefore, the traveler really should not think that he can communicate with the ancients at will in ancient times, and when you really face the ancients, you will find that in addition to written communication, you cannot communicate at all in language.

"General Tian is observant and observant, and Le admires it!" Lotte had to get the way.

Tian Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Please also ask Mr. to give Tian an idea, how to explain to the official!" ”

Lotte was also helpless: "Le doesn't even know what the Imperial City Division of this dynasty does, how to think of a way for General Tian?" ”

"The Imperial City Division was called Wude Division before Emperor Taizong, in addition to being in charge of the palace entrances and exits, Zhou Lu Su Guard, and the opening and closing of the palace gates, it is also responsible for probing the movements of the subjects, inspecting the enemy's country and reconnoitring foreign military intelligence!" Tian Wei said.

Lotte understood that the duties of the Imperial City Division were somewhat similar to those of the Jinyi Guard in the Ming Dynasty, guarding the palace and arresting spies internally, and spying on the enemy's military situation externally, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that the official Shi Gou I saw that day was the eunuch in the palace?" ”

"Exactly!" Tian Wei lowered his voice and introduced: "The highest prefect of the Imperial City Division is nominally the Imperial City Envoy, but the real main thing is to raise the Imperial City Division's official affairs and promote the Imperial City Official Affairs. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Wei became worried: "The current person who is promoting the official affairs of the Imperial City Division is His Royal Highness King Jiawang, the third prince of the current official family!" ”

Lotte understood Tian Wei's situation: "Do a good job, one step to the sky, if something goes wrong, you will ruin your future!" ”

"Most of the high-ranking positions above the rank of the Imperial City Division are held by eunuchs in the inner court, and Tian is just a military official, even if he has made meritorious contributions, he just moved to another place to serve as a military position!" Tian Wei shook his head and said, "Please also ask Mr. to come up with an idea for Tian Mou, how to report to the official!" ”

Squinting his eyes slightly, Lotte thought for a moment and said, "The matter has come to this point, the general might as well tell the truth to Shangguan!" ”

"What?" Tian Wei was a little surprised.

"Does the general think that this matter can be concealed from the eyes of the superiors?" Lotte asked, and smiled bitterly: "Even the things that Le did in Pingyu were found out by the general, and the general asked himself if he could deal with what happened this time?" ”

Tian Wei shook his head.

"Conspiracy can be divided into conspiracy and conspiracy, what is the difference between deceiving officials and conspiracing, it is tantamount to seeking a dead end!" Lotte said, and after a pause, he said: "The ancient Shang martingale Limu Shuxin, Sima Sui Tho beheading the prison army and Liwei are all yang schemes, and the general might as well excuse himself and ask the Shangguan for the guilt, and he can gain the trust of the Shangguan!" ”

Tian Wei just sighed lightly.

Seeing Tian Wei's hesitation, Lotte said again: "The general thinks that the officials like a cronie who tells the truth, or do they like a subordinate who deceives and conceals his superiors?" ”

Hearing this, Tian Wei thought for a while, then got up and bowed to Lotte: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Sending Tian Wei away, when Lotte was idle and bored, he saw a door come in.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Lotte asked.

The man looked at Lotte, handed over a poster, and said: "The villain is the door of the state government, tonight the master of Zhizhou is invited to a banquet in the state mansion, and the master of Zhizhou has the name of the gentleman and calls you to go!" ”

didn't take the post handed by the doorman, Lotte just said: "Le is a guilty person now, and he is restricted from entering and leaving, how can he go to the Texas Mansion Mansion!" ”

"The master of Zhizhou instructed the villain to send the post, but the villain just did what he was told, and the rest was gone!" Hearing Lotte speak like this, the face of the man was also a little displeased, and he put the post on the case and turned around and left.

This man was on an errand in the state government, and the officials who ushered in it saw a lot, and knew that Lotte was just a charge in Pingyu County, but now he picked up the score, and how to buy Lotte's account in his heart.

Picked up the post Lotte glanced at it a few times, it turned out that this was a post for Shi Gou to send off the banquet tonight, and only with this post can he put it in the Texas Mansion. Lotte often accompanies Chen Zhixian to usher in the send-off, and naturally understands what Ye Zhizhou means, although Shi Gou is not a senior member of the court, but he is a minister who goes directly to Tianting, and letting himself attend is nothing more than letting himself be a poem for the occasion and fill the façade.

Don't say that Ye Zhizhou is the top boss of his top boss, but also think of Ye Mengde's help to him, since he has made a post, Lotte naturally can't refuse.

Caizhou Mansion is only a wall away from Caizhou Mansion, covering a wide area, there is a small garden built inside, the water in the garden is diverted into a lake, and the construction is extremely Seiko everywhere, and the official of Shi Gou came to Caizhou and stayed here. Although Shi Gou is an official in the court, and his rank is lower than Ye Zhizhou, Ye Mengde knows that he is favored by the court's internal servants at the moment, and he can't be taken lightly.

At dusk, Lotte swaggered out of the state office, but no one stopped him, took the post into the state mansion, and then was led to the depths of the mansion, Lotte looked at the state mansion while walking, far more luxurious than the Pingyu County mansion, not the same day.

It's July now, and the temperature is very hot in the evening, and when Lotte walks into the water pavilion in the garden, he suddenly shivers, only to feel that the cool air is pressing, as if he is in early spring.

Looking at it, in this water pavilion, there are more than a dozen tables, on which all kinds of fresh fruits and dried fruit snacks have been placed, to Lotte's surprise, around the pavilion, there are more than a dozen shallow ice basins, inside which a huge ice cube is placed, and behind each ice basin, there is a servant with a fan in his hand, and the chill in this water pavilion comes from this.

In addition, at the foot of the stairs not far from the water pavilion, dozens of female musicians are waiting in a line, each holding a variety of musical instruments such as the qin, the pipa, and the flute.

Different is different, the pomp of the county government really can't be compared with the state capital, I am used to seeing all kinds of luxurious Fengyue fields in Pingyu, and when I arrive at this state mansion, it is like entering a big park.

The escorts who received the post gradually arrived, except for Huang Tongju and Wang Hu Cao joining the army, the rest of the people did not know Lotte, and they were all miscellaneous officials in the state capital, except for these miscellaneous officials, others were not invited by Ye Zhizhou.

Shi Gou was able to come to Caizhou or thanks to Lotte, that day Lotte's image of wearing a flail and a lock was quite bad, Caizhou officials also knew Lotte, seeing that Lotte appeared here was only a little surprised, and did not ask, three or three gathered together to greet each other, only Huang Tongju and Wang Huyu joined the army and glanced at Lotte from a distance, snorted lightly, and found their respective positions and sat down.

Just when Lotte was bored, a person who looked like an official in the state government came over and got acquainted with Lotte, and the officials saw a lot, and Lotte was not flattered.

The official smiled: "Recently, I heard that Mr. Le made a big splash in the Art Expo Garden, and he shook the group of sour talents in the local Tianzhong Poetry House!" ”

Lotte replied: "The big officials are laughing, but it's just a lie!" ”

The official's expression suddenly became obscene: "I tasted the music first in Pingyu elegant and affectionate, in Pingyu even organized the Oiran competition, my family in the green building to raise a number of beautiful tricks, if Mr. is free, I would like to ask Mr. to appreciate it!" ”

Belch...... This person complimented himself, but it turned out that it was for this reason, and Lotte was speechless.

Without waiting for Lotte to reply, Ye Zhizhou and Tian Wei walked out of the side hall with Shi Gou as an official, and a group of miscellaneous officials in Caizhou stopped the noise one after another and stood up in unison.

Shi Gou smiled slightly: "Our family came to Caizhou for business, but it alarmed all the adults, and I was really uneasy!" ”

A group of miscellaneous officials in Caizhou were polite, Ye Zhizhou and Shi Gou were the officials and the guests and hosts were seated separately, and the accompanying guests also sat down one after another, and everyone had a table in front of them.

Ye Zhizhou and Shi Gou Dangguan each ordered a few tunes, and the feast opened in the sound of orchestral silk and bamboo.

After glancing around, Le Tian found that although today's banquet was full of scenes, it was a little less fun, only the music and dancing were used to entertain but there were no female dancers to serve wine, which really didn't arouse any interest.

I thought about it again in my heart, if I called a female actor to help the fun today, it would be a big joke, this stone hook official is a castrated eunuch, if you call a girl to help the fun, what is the difference between the face of the stone hook official, how can an old fox in officialdom like Ye Zhizhou do such a stupid thing.
