April day in the capital.v.om

The season of blooming flowers, especially the batch of peonies sent from Luoyang, instantly decorates the capital.

Although today's Luoyang and Bianliang are not as prosperous as in the Song Dynasty, they are second only to the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and are located in the Central Plains.

Shen Wuyan has never been to Henan, but when he talked to Gao Gong about his hometown, he also heard Gao Gong talk about the prosperity there, and April coincided with the Luoyang Peony Festival, but it was a place where literati gathered.

However, for Luoyang this year, it is worse than in previous years, and most of it is still affected by the imperial court's examination in the capital this year.

Walking in the small street market of wine shops, tea stalls, and small streets, you can see literati and scholars in Confucian robes everywhere walking through it, among which they chant poems and talk about the affairs of the family and the country, but they are also endless.

The carriage walked slowly on the green bricks, opened the curtain and looked at the green tiles outside the window, as well as the scholars fighting wine under the eaves, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but sigh completely, and then murmured softly: "Now I remember Jiang Nanle, when I was young and thin-dressed. Riding a horse leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves beckoning......"

So all in my mind was that when I was in Suzhou, I talked about the past and the present with Wang Zhenming in Jixian Residence, talked about the world with Gu Qingshan Teahouse, and Zhou Yuan's life was only as shocking as I first saw it.

The past passed by with the wind, Wang Zhenming was burned to ashes by King Jing, Gu Qingshan was hidden in the alley and would rather be a teacher, and Zhou Yuan had long been dilapidated and no longer had the grand occasion of the year.

Probably the dead Song Yanzhi didn't know that his junior brother would steal his poems, he had such a reputation in the capital, and Song Qian was always in the name of this so-called genius, and finally his reputation was ruined.

The past flashed quietly, Shen Wuyan slowly closed the curtain, a little reluctant, and continued to sigh: "Cuiping Jin bends, drunk into the flowers." This time I saw the flower branches, and I swore that I would not return. ”

"The capital has changed quite a lot in recent years, and the West Chang'an Avenue has died with the death of the first emperor...... Today, His Majesty lives in the Qianqing Palace. There were few people over there, but it was much quieter. ”

Wang Tian, who was driving, listened to Shen Wuyan's emotion, and couldn't help but say, "But Yueyun Restaurant is indeed still full every day...... But it has a foundation...... Without Liu Hanyan, the Hanyan Building is basically over. ”

Shen Wuyan couldn't help frowning, and said angrily: "Can you have something special...... The sun **** is full of flowers and smoke, and the moon is bright and sleepless...... Without Liu Hanyan and Shen Wuyan, I wouldn't believe it......"

Wang Tian was stunned. After pondering for a moment, he said, "When I go to the Imperial City today, Gongzi doesn't prepare anything...... Go empty-handed. After all, something is not good......"

"Changing the subject, are you doubting Shen's ability?" Shen Wuyan snorted lightly and said coldly: "You have learned to give gifts, but you have made progress...... Cai'er, this girl is also sensible. ”

Being teased by Shen Wuyan like this, Wang Tian, who was driving outside the carriage, suddenly turned red, and paused for a long time before he said: "Hanyan Mansion doesn't know when it will be able to surpass Yueyun Restaurant......

Shen Wuyan couldn't help laughing, and he said, "Why did you change the topic when it came to Cai'er...... It's boring to turn around today...... I went to the palace to see if His Majesty wanted to give gifts...... What is Your Majesty lacking......"

Wang Tian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and the whole world is not the king's land...... He doesn't lack anything. Reach for whatever you want. ”

Shen Wuyan smiled and said lightly: "Although this is good, it is not all right...... Your Majesty, he wants that martial girl to come back from the dead, to have a healthy body, and to have long-term peace and stability in the Ming Dynasty...... He wants too much, but he doesn't always get everything. ”

Wang Tian couldn't help but be stunned, and then stopped talking.

The carriage stopped in front of the Imperial City, and the two got out of the carriage. Because he was summoned alone, he could only go in alone by Shen Wuyan.

Feng Bao had been waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time, and when he saw Shen Wuyan coming, he hurriedly ran over to greet him, which shocked the little eunuchs on the side.

These little eunuchs have only been in the palace for a short time, and they only know that there are only concubines and His Majesty in this palace. It is necessary to count this Feng Gonggong is powerful, and it is naturally indispensable to spur and scold him every day, but he still has to flatter him.

It is said that even in the court, this Gonggong Feng has great power, except for only a few officials, all of them often stammer, but he can't look down on them at all.

Now he was flattering. Towards the scholar, it naturally caused all kinds of speculation among the little eunuchs.

"Look at the man dressed like a scholar...... It's just that there don't seem to be many officials in the court who can make Gonggong Feng look like this......"

"Except for Mr. Gao Ge and Mr. Zhang...... Then there will be Tan Shangshu and Yang Shangshu left......"

"You and I know these people, but they are not this people. And this scholar is not very old...... But I don't know who it is......"

"I'm afraid that the vassal king who was recruited by the saint can't say it...... Although these princes don't move much on weekdays, they are all powerful......"

“……”

Not long after these little eunuchs entered the palace, they didn't know Shen Wuyan's origin, but guessed that he was the vassal king who was summoned to the palace, so they all looked at Shen Wuyan with a frightened expression.

Shen Wuyan didn't pay attention to it, just looked at Feng Bao.

Feng Bao is no longer as immature as he was back then, he will be reprimanded by Huang Jin, and he will be persecuted by Chen Hong. Now he is already able to move easily in the palace, and make friends with powerful people, such as Empress Li Guifei, or a figure like Zhang Juzheng.

With just a simple explanation, he was able to do a good job of killing Meng Chong, even the emperor had no way to do it.

Now he is sitting safely in the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, although there are many twists and turns, but it is still successful after all. To a large extent, if it weren't for Feng Bao behind the scenes, it would have been difficult for Shen Wuyan to come back from Liaodong.

Now Shen Wuyan not only does not have to return to Liaodong, but also reinstated his official position, and also serves as the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong. All this seems to be the result of Li Guifei's plea and the petition of the officials in the capital, but in fact, it is Feng Bao's manipulation behind the scenes.

After greeting each other, Shen Wuyan hugged his fists and said, "Although there is no need to thank you...... But I'm really thankful for ......."

Feng Bao pursed his lips slightly, and sighed lightly: "Mr. Shen is out like this...... I, Feng Bao, have today, thanks to you, and I have been too tired of conspiracy and calculation over the years...... Only in front of you, there is no need for such ...... Thanks, I really don't have to. ”

When the two of them chatted like this, they had already walked into the palace gate.

The emperor has not been in court for a long time, so he doesn't have to go through the Huangji Palace, just go directly to the sleeping palace Qianqing Palace.

Walking and chatting all the way, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but be stunned, then stopped and looked ahead, and after a while, he smiled and clenched his fists, and said, "Yo, this is not a high pavilion elder...... Long time no see. ”

Gao Gong, who was lowering his head and thinking about something, suddenly heard such a voice, immediately frowned, raised his head slightly, saw the annoying smile, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen...... When did you enter Kyoto? ”

Shen Wuyan hurriedly waved his hand and sighed, "Mr. called suddenly...... I entered Beijing last night, and I was summoned by His Majesty this morning...... His Majesty was also anxious, and hurried over next. ”

Hearing this, Gao Gong suddenly snorted lightly and said coldly: "Your Majesty, who I just met below, didn't see him eagerly...... Mr. Shen is becoming more and more able to figure out the holy will. ”

Shen Wuyan suddenly laughed and said, "Gao Ge Lao, this is serious...... Your Majesty, is he in a hurry, how do you know...... Aren't you trying to figure out the holy will? ”

Feng Bao, who was standing on the side, looked at the two of them in a calm voice, but the tone was about to be tense in an instant, and he was immediately anxious in his heart, and hurriedly played a round, and said: "What the two of them said is reasonable, but Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon you...... How about catching up later? ”

Gao Gong didn't like Feng Bao in the first place, but now he was the boss of the palm seal, so he became more and more disgusted, and when he heard Feng Bao speak, he became more and more annoyed, and said angrily: "How do you know that Your Majesty is in a hurry?" ”

Being yelled at by Gao Gong like this, Feng Bao suddenly couldn't hold back his face, and then smiled sarcastically, and said coldly: "Gao Ge Lao is deliberately preventing Mr. Shen from facing the saint?" …… Delayed, are you responsible? ”

"What can there be, it's nothing more than a few words of small talk and ......encouragement," said Gao Gong, who suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and then changed his words: "Do you think the old man can't bear this responsibility?" ”

Shen Wuyan's face was bitter, he couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed: "Gao Ge Lao...... I was going to talk to you about it...... If you are willing, just wait for me here, and how about you and me Yue Yun Restaurant when you come out? ”

Gao Gong panted, and he was about to give up, but when he looked at the order in Feng Bao's hand, he also held back his anger, just snorted lightly, and said, "The old man is waiting for you outside......

After bidding farewell to Gao Gong, Shen Wuyan hurriedly rushed to Qianqing Palace with Feng Bao.

Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan looked better today, and was sitting in the pavilion in front of the palace with Concubine Li Guifei chatting, and after Feng Bao reported it, he summoned Shen Wuyan.

The two of them were actually not too long apart, but Shen Wuyan saw each other at a glance, and felt that the other party was much older, although he looked good today, but in fact he was dying.

He bowed slightly, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty......"

Li Guifei, who was looking at Shen Wuyan with a smile, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows lightly, and said with a slight annoyance: "Why don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Zaiyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said lightly: "No need...... The first emperor had a long talk with Mr. Shen in fashion...... If you kneel to me, it's a little inappropriate......"

Concubine Li didn't mean to blame, she was just afraid that the emperor would be displeased, after all, there were some prejudices between the two in the past, and now if Shen Wuyan didn't kneel, he was worried that he would anger him, but now it seems that worry is superfluous.

Shen Wuyan then clenched his fists again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Zaiyuan smiled faintly and said, "How can you talk about thanks...... Jun'er still has to entrust you to take care of ......."

Shen Wuyan nodded slightly and said, "Prince...... There's Mr. Zhang over there, but it's not bad......"

Concubine Li Guifei hurriedly laughed, and she said, "Mr. Shen, you still can't hear what Your Majesty means...... Jun'er, you can go tomorrow...... Honglu Temple is also idle. (To be continued.)
