May Fourth is embarrassed

The spring rain has stopped, the rain on the leaves is still dripping down, after the washing of the rain, the spring of Beijing is stronger, in a room, there is a person who is writing something seriously, this person is of medium stature, slender eyes, some shallow pockmarks on the round face, the corners of the eyes and forehead have wrinkles, the temples are mixed with mottled silver hair, it is obvious that he is old, but he does not have a beard on his mouth, he writes and scratches on the paper, and only then does the corner of his mouth float a satisfied smile, he put down the pen, looked at the paper and looked, I saw a line of big characters written crookedly on it: "On the ninth day of the fourth month, enter five quintals of white rice." A man read the words for a long time, and then carefully took out a box, opened the lock on it, and put a thick stack of paper in it, and the man carefully put the paper on the table into the box, and carefully locked it, and put the box into a drawer, locked the drawer with a brass lock, and put the key into his underwear. After doing all this, he stood up, leisurely walked to the window, opened the window, the fresh air outside the window came at once, with the unique freshness after the rain, mixed with the smell of flowers, the room was full of the breath of spring, this person took a breath, closed his eyes and tasted for a while, and tried his best to hide the love in his heart, walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a full glass of water, the Pu'er after the second bubble is just right, the fragrance is fragrant, the fragrance is overflowing, this person drank in the mouth, squinted his eyes comfortably, it was good, Although he has been a eunuch in this life and has no children and grandchildren, this day is finally getting better, so good that he never dreamed of it before.

Although he knew that his father mistakenly believed Wei Xing and others when he was in power, so that there was a matter of eunuchs interfering in politics and misleading the country, but if there were no eunuchs Zhang Min, Huaisu and others, it would be difficult for Zhu Youzhu to get to this point today, so Zhu Youji's feelings for eunuchs are very complicated, he is afraid of repeating his father's mistakes, and he unconsciously wants to get close to the eunuchs, especially after Huaisu died, he gradually trusted Li Guang. It's just that he often warns himself that he can't have the shortcomings of his father's government, Li Guang is a smart man, and he has a loyal and honest face, he never talks about political affairs in front of Zhu Youji, and never expresses his opinions, over time, Zhu Youzhu thinks that Li Guang is also a kind person like Zhang Min and Huaisu, and gradually relaxes his vigilance, and Li Guang usually likes to draw some talismans in private, and there are several times when Zhu Youzhu encounters difficulties, Li Guang draws talismans in private, and as a result, the blind cat meets the dead mouse, and Zhu Youji's disaster is easily solved, Zhu Youzhu unconsciously believed Li Guang a little more, and he was also a little interested in Taoist spells, which is why he was in a hurry to send someone there to find out when he heard that there was a Taoist priest in Quanzhou. But he didn't expect that after a long time, Li Guang's heart was a little bigger, how long can the emperor's trust last, ruthless is the emperor's family, Li Guang just wants to grab something that can make him down-to-earth, he has no children and no daughters, once he is old and tired of the emperor's eyes, he will not have a bad time, so Li Guang never participates in politics and does not express his opinions, but he relies on the emperor's favor, and he has collected a lot of money outside, but he has always been cautious and never gives people a handle.

Li Guangmei drank tea for a while, then stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the room. There was already a clever little eunuch waiting outside the house, and as soon as he saw Li Guang, he stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, the queen's younger brother Zhang Yanling has been waiting outside for a long time, and I told him that you are busy." ”

Li Guangyan was a little surprised when he heard this, he knew that the queen Zhang Kexin had always loved Zhang Yanling, especially after the death of his parents, Zhang Kexin was even more concerned about Zhang Yanling, and Zhu Youzhi had a deep relationship with Zhang Kexin and his wife, and he was also very kind to Zhang Yanling, so that he was awarded the title of Jianchangbo at a young age. Li Guang also knew that Zhang Yanling was indulged in a little lawlessness, but he usually had nothing to do with Zhang Yanling, but this time he suddenly found himself, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he immediately said, "Take me to see me." ”

The little eunuch led the way in front, and it didn't take much effort to see Zhang Yanling waiting impatiently, and when he saw Li Guang hurriedly coming in from outside, he changed his unhappy face to a smile, Li Guang saw him like this, and his heart settled down a little, he has always been accustomed to observing words and feelings, and knows that Zhang Yanling must have something to ask for himself, otherwise with his personality, he would already be furious, how could he greet him with a smile.

Although Zhang Yanling is used to being indulged, he is not a confused person, he knows his intentions, so as soon as he saw Li Guang, he made an affectionate appearance, and said to Li Guang: "It is said that Gonggong Li is diligent and conscientious, and he has long had the heart to make friends. Although Li Guang didn't believe it, he was comfortable to hear when he flattered himself, and because of the relationship between the queen, Li Guang naturally wanted to follow Zhang Yanling and say, after a while, the two of them spoke affectionately, as if they were old at first sight.

Zhang Yanling chatted with Li Guang for a while, and felt quite comfortable, only feeling that Li Guang had said everything in his heart, and he was really a smart and clever person, so he stopped going around in circles, his eyes bent a little, and quietly said to Li Guang: "Father-in-law, have you heard that the golden knife of Shuntian Mansion catches Ding Si?" ”

Li Guang couldn't help but jump when he heard this foreign name, he was reprimanded by Zhu Youzhu two or three times for no reason after Ding Simiansheng, how did he not know that this was Ding Si's sake, but he made a look of ignorance on his face: "I only know that I am serving the emperor in the palace, but I don't know anything about the situation outside, what Jian Changbo said about the golden knife to catch Ding Si should be a famous person, right?" ”

Zhang Yanling saw that Li Guang was pretending to be confused with him, and gritted his teeth: "When the emperor ascended the throne, Wei Xing tried to rebel in vain, and the one who helped the emperor break his conspiracy was this Ding Si, such a famous person, Gonggong Li has never heard of it, it's a pity." ”

Li Guang heard the meaning of his words, but he never continued, just looked at Zhang Yanling with a smile to see what he was going to do.

The corners of Zhang Yanling's mouth twitched, and then a smile appeared again: "Father-in-law, since that incident, Ding Si has been prejudiced against the father-in-law in the palace, I heard that Ding Si has spoken ill of his father-in-law in front of the emperor." ”

Li Guang's heart jumped, and he made a sincere and fearful look: "The slave has dignity in front of the emperor, and many people are looking at the slave unpleasantly, but I believe that the emperor is wise and will never let the villain be blinded." ”

Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "My father-in-law is a transparent person, and he can think of it so clearly. ”

Li Guang said with a bitter face: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, as for what others say, I can't control his mouth, let it be." ”

Zhang Yanling took a sip of tea from the cup, and then praised: "Father-in-law's tea is quite good, what I drank from the queen is only of this grade, I should taste Junshan's 'gold inlaid jade'." ”

Li Guang only hated Zhang Yanling's trickery, and said with a smiling face: "This is also the tea I have saved for a long time, and I usually don't take it out easily, but today Jian Changbo is here, so I dare to take it out and ask you to appreciate it." ”

Zhang Yanling ignored him anymore, and looked at the green tea leaves in the cup to himself, as if he was out of a trance.

Seeing Zhang Yanling like this, Li Guang knew what he was thinking, so he gritted his teeth and said: "But if the golden knife catcher is dissatisfied with the minions, it will inevitably be a bit of a catch, I am loyal to the emperor, and I never dare to have two hearts." ”

When Zhang Yanling heard Li Guang say this, he raised his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Who said no, that Ding Si was arrogant and arrogant with his young friendship with the emperor, and he didn't even pay attention to me, I also heard that he visited Quanzhou with Wu Hai this time, and he pointed fingers along the way, so that Wu Hai couldn't even do official business, and even brought the political envoy Di Da was a little dissatisfied." ”

Li Guang knew that Wu Hai was Di Chuchen's brother-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel moved, he saw Wu Hai's secret fold written by the emperor at the emperor's place, which was full of complaints about Ding Si, but he didn't know that Zhang Yanling was also involved in this matter, so it was inferred that Zhang Yanling must have also been angry with Ding Si, so he wanted to get back to this scene, he looked at Zhang Yanling's meaningful eyes, and couldn't help but make a look of understanding.

Zhang Yanling leaned forward and said softly to Li Guang: "That Ding Si is really hateful, Li Gonggong should not be careless, as the saying goes, three people become tigers, and Ding Si is the emperor's old friend, in case he gets it, his father-in-law Mo said that it is glory and wealth, I am afraid it is difficult to say whether there is this life or not." ”

Zhang Yanling's words made Li Guang's heart beat for a while, but he was old enough to be in the accident, and his face still looked unexpected. Zhang Yanling didn't say anything, just stared at Li Guang's eyes, and said softly: "Gonggong Li, I don't need you to do anything, it's just that when the emperor asks you what you mean, you just need to remember what Ding Si did to you, and you don't have to do anything else." ”
