I had a light meal at a small restaurant on the side of the road, and I had to continue to worship in the afternoon. No way, who made the gods in the capital more? You can't offend it any way.

His destination was King Yu's Mansion, and the results of the morning court meeting reached King Yu's Mansion, which must have caused some waves, and if he was not appeased in time, I am afraid that it would affect his relationship with Prince Yu.

In fact, he expected it to be good, not long after the end of the court push, Feng Bao brought the news back to the palace. As soon as Prince Yu received the news, he sat there, and his face, which had been quite recuperated, also turned pale.

Yin Shizhan and Chen Yiqin were also there at that time, and the two were also shocked when they heard the news, and after a short period of stunned, Chen Yiqin said loudly: "I already knew that there was something wrong with this silence!" Let's see, it's backwater at the critical moment, right? ”

Yin Shizhan has the loyalty of Shandong people, and shook his head when he heard the words: "Maybe...... What is Lord Shen's troubles? After making trouble for a long time, he thought why he had defected.

"What's the problem?" Chen Yiqin shouted: "Isn't it just for the family to be bought? Zhejiang people just can't be trusted! ”

"You can't ......kill them all with one stick," Yin Shizhan shook his head and said.

King Yu sat there, unable to listen to their chatter at all, only to see his eyes closed, his fists resting on the big case loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, obviously very painful in his heart.

Chen Yiqin talked for a while, and when he saw that the prince was silent, he stopped his mouth boringly. Yin Shizhan asked with concern: "Lord Wang, are you uncomfortable?" Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? ”

King Yu shook his head, a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's okay, maybe I didn't rest well last night, just go back and sleep for a while." ”

"Hurry in, the prince." Yin Shizhan Feng Bao said: "Quickly help the prince to go back to the palace to rest." ”

Feng Bao took a step forward, but saw King Yu waving his hand, and slowly got up by himself holding the table and said, "That little Wang is rude, so he won't leave the two gentlemen to eat." ”

"Lord Wang, please rest in peace." The two attendants stood up and saluted.

King Yu slowly walked out of the study, walked to the backyard dormitory, only to see the trees on both sides of the road bare, ugly, the ground is full of dead leaves, stepping on it creaky and creaking, the eyes are full of late autumn bleak scenes, there is no vitality, so that his already sad mood, even heavier, I wanted to leave quickly, but I heard the lotus pond in the depths of the garden, there were bursts of high and low piano sound.

King Yu was not good at the rhythm, so he didn't pay attention, and was just about to walk forward, but he clearly heard Li's voice coming from inside. He stood on his feet, held his breath and listened clearly, without losing a word, and sang: 'It turns out that the purple and red are all over the place, and they all seem to be paid to the broken wells and ruins......

When King Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. This Li family was born in a small family, the family is poor, although he is born beautiful, but he is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has always been ashamed to touch, how can he be in the mood to practice now...... It is indeed practice, because the intermittent sound of the piano and the absurd singing skills are really too raw to be regenerated, and the only thing that can be praised is that the voice is quite beautiful.

Yuwang originally went to Li to seek comfort, so he naturally followed the sound to the lotus pond, and then heard her sing: "The beautiful scenery of the good day, whose courtyard is ...... to enjoy the joy" Yuwang listened to it, but he was also very emotional, and couldn't help applauding and laughing: "Good singing!" There is potential! ”

Li was self-absorbed, and when he heard the sound, he stopped the sound of the piano, quickly got up and turned around to salute, and said with a red face: "Let the prince see and smile...... "The heart said that it is good to hang, if the prince listens to the sentences 'then you are like a flower, like a year of water' or 'you are in a gloomy boudoir and self-pity', I'm afraid I won't be able to explain.

At this time, King Yu only listened to him and asked curiously: "Whose song is this, why has Lone never heard it?" ”

"A few days ago, the princess invited someone to sing," Li said softly: "The slave family sounds good, but these days are always haunting in my heart, so I just ......" and lowered his head and couldn't speak.

Yuwang smiled and said for her: "Just practice it yourself?" Why don't you practice in the house? ”

Li's face flushed, and he whispered: "The slave family is not big, so he secretly hid here, but he still let the prince listen." ”

"Hahaha......" Seeing her little woman's appearance, the depression in King Yu's heart decreased slightly, and he smiled: "Who made this song?" I'd like to see it. ”

"It's not easy for others to see it," Li's eyes lit up, "But the prince can see him at any time." ”

"Which master did it?" Yuwang asked. Basically, good lyrics and songs are written by literati and writers, and then sung by the singer Le Ji.

"The prince guessed right," Li Shi glanced at the lotus pond in front of him, and the man in white appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but say with a hot face: "Exactly...... Your Master Shen. ”

"Him?!" Yuwang's face changed when he landed, and he snorted coldly: "Don't sing this song in the future!" ”

Li thought that his mind had been seen through, and he couldn't help but lose his face, and knelt on the ground with a shrunken face, not daring to say a word.

Seeing her like this, King Yu sighed and said, "I scared you, get up quickly, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Only then did Li breathe a sigh of relief, and listened to King Yu again: "It's all that Shen Cun's words, it's just angry with me!" ”

Li's heart rose again, and he asked with concern, "Why did Mr. Shen provoke you?" Don't you talk about him all day long, and praise him vigorously? ”

"Alas, the ancients are right, people's hearts are like water," King Yu sighed, told her what happened today, and sighed again: "I always thought that he was thinking about me with all his heart," said his eyes reddened, "But, but...... How could he do that? He lowered his head and gasped deeply, unable to speak.

Li Shi stood up quietly and said softly: "Lord Wang, the slave family feels that you can't think of the bad in case of trouble. ”

"It turns out everything, how can I think of him to the good?" King Yu shook his head and said: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower and has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, but he still can't keep his heart because the Lone King trusts him so much......"

Li Shi whispered: "What the prince said is right, it is said that only after a long time can you see people's hearts, but you might as well think about it, what did Mr. Shen do for the prince after he came to our palace?" What has it brought to our palace? Saying that, he sneered and said: "It's not the slave family that arranges the other masters, what they have done over the years, and they don't add up to Mr. Shen alone, they have done a lot in half a year, what qualifications do they have to arrange others?" Somehow, as soon as she heard that Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhan were talking about silent bad things, she became angry.

"You know what you say." King Yu shook his head sadly and said: "He has the ability and the way, and he has given Gu a lot of help in life, so that I am no longer embarrassed; He is knowledgeable, his lectures are simple and simple, and he has taught me a lot of things, so that Lone is no longer confused; People are funny and humorous, and I can play with the lonely king in normal times, which makes me no longer bored, and I am really grateful to him...... In fact, in Lone's heart, he is the most special one among several masters...... Just like a friend of mine. He closed his eyes in pain and said, "But the more this happens, the more I can't accept his betrayal!" ”

"Lord Wang." Li said with a smile: "Forgive the concubine for saying bluntly, Master Shen came to our palace when you were at your lowest ebb. He can still assist you wholeheartedly and protect you wholeheartedly. Now that things are much better than then, how could he abandon you? ”

King Yu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "It's really a little strange. ”

"When the slave family was in the people, there was a saying that the wind that didn't get it was the rain." Li said: "Lord Wang, when you encounter something, you have to think about trusting each other first, but you can't listen to the wind or rain, because of some shadowless things, you will abolish your own right-hand man." ”

King Yu pondered for a long time when he heard this, and finally smiled and said, "Yes, I have to listen to Master Shen himself." Saying that, he glanced at Li and praised: "You are very virtuous." ”

"The slave family is terrified...... "Li quickly said carelessly.

King Yu was in a much better mood, glanced at the guqin in front of him and said: "Listening to you sing this song, Lone is a little curious, when will the original song be invited, and let Lone feast his ears, right?" ”

"I heard the girl who sang the song that day say that there is a Su family from the south of the Yangtze River living in Lilac Hutong...... It is said that this sentence was written for her by Master Shen, "Li said fascinatedly: "I guess she sings the best......"

"Oh, or Master Shen's confidante?" King Yu became interested and said, "Then I want to see you." ”

Hearing that the prince was going to invite the Nasu family, Li couldn't help but rejoice: "Great, the concubine can just ask her for advice, how can you sing this song well......

So in the afternoon, when Shen Mo came to the palace to meet him, King Yu was able to face him with a peaceful mind and smiled: "Master Shen is here to give Gu an explanation, right?" ”

Seeing that the prince was not angry, he was kind to himself, and he was just being ravaged by the high arch of silence, and his heart was very moved, and said: "Yes, the prince, Weichen did this completely for the sake of the prince." ”

"I want to hear about it." King Yu nodded and said, after the psychological construction of the Li family, he was already able to think about the silence to the good.

"Yes." Shen Shen said in a deep voice: "Because Weichen is completely sure, persuade Tang Ruji to abandon the dark and become our person." ”

"Oh?" Yuwang was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

"It's true!" Shen Mo nodded and said, "Although he is Yan Ge's protégé, the two of us worked together in the Hanlin Academy, and we went down to Jiangnan to govern together...... He was in Hangzhou, I was in Suzhou, he was in charge of the tea and horse division, I was in charge of the city, the situation was very complicated at that time, we could only work together, and we could only work together to help each other, and during this period, we established an indelible comradeship. After a pause, he said: "After returning to Beijing, the two of us had several deep conversations, knowing that although he was appointed as the attendant of King Jing's mansion, he actually did not appreciate King Jing, but admired the prince's benevolence and forgiveness very much, and often expressed his intention to switch to me. ”

He was very sure of what he said, and King Yu was relatively easy to be fooled, and he was overjoyed when he heard this: "If that's the case, that's great!" If he can turn away from darkness and turn to light, it will be a great good thing for us! ”

"That's why I recommended him, and I'll tell him later that this is what you mean, Lord Wang." Shen Mo smiled and said, "Lord Wang, do you think, can he not be grateful and repay?" ”

"Of course! Of course! King Yu nodded.

Shen Mo smiled: "You won't misunderstand me again now, right?" ”

"No, no......" King Yu shook his head and said, and after speaking, he felt speechless, so he smiled embarrassedly: "Where did I misunderstand you?" ”

"That is, Weichen spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Shen smiled silently, and said with a straight face: "But this matter, the prince has to keep it secret, and he can't tell anyone, otherwise Lord Tang will be in danger." ”

"That's for sure." King Yu nodded solemnly, but said with some hesitation: "Can't even Master Gao say it?" ”

Shen Mo's heart sank when he heard this, and he said secretly: "It seems that Gao Gong is irreplaceable in his heart." But he said casually: "Gao Gong naturally doesn't have to hide it, and he has to point to him to give us the helm." Said with a smile: "Actually, before I came, I had already consulted Gao Gong. ”

Hearing this, King Yu smiled happily: "Really? That's great. Since Master Gao agreed, I was at ease. As he spoke, he clapped his hands and got up and said, "I haven't played chess for a few days, and this time I'm going to fight you for 300 rounds!" ”

Shen Mo smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

Coming out of Yuwang's house, it is already the time of Shenpai, now the days are short and the nights are long, the huge sunset is red and hung in the west sky, emitting ten thousand rays of light, the earth is shrouded in a dusk, the birds enter the forest, the insects return to the nest, and there is a silence on Chang'an Street.

The setting sun also dyed the silence golden, and he sighed softly for no reason and sat down on the sedan chair. When the sedan curtain fell, a thick tiredness enveloped him, and he didn't want to move anymore, he was too tired...... Sanchi instructed the sedan chair to get up and walk slowly, so that the adults could get the best rest, but they didn't have to stop for long, because the traffic in front of them was jammed...... When he was in a dilemma, the sedan curtain was lifted, and he heard a silent and tired and low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"Go back to the prince." Sanchi whispered: "There are a lot of carriages and sedan chairs in front of King Jing's Mansion in front, blocking the road to death. ”

"Oh......" The silent gaze cast into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the lights were on in front of the Jingwang Mansion, full of all kinds of sedan chairs and carriages, and there was an endless stream of guests in brocade clothes and jade robes, obviously a grand dinner was going to be held in the mansion.

Silently rubbed his left temple, thought for a moment, understood the reason, and commanded softly: "Let's take a detour." ”

The sedan chair turned around and walked back.

But someone was so sharp-eyed that he recognized his palanquin from a distance in front of the palace and said, "Hey, isn't that the palanquin of Shen sacrificial wine?" I thought he was here for the banquet, why did he turn around and leave? ”

The person on the side looked at the sedan chair that disappeared into the night, and said in a strange manner: "He wanted to come, but our prince didn't give him a post, and he had to be blocked when he came." ”

"Who made him ignorant of lifting," someone sneered: "At the beginning, the prince extended the invitation several times, but he pushed back and blocked, and you don't know the prince's temper...... I don't think it's useful for him to do anything, he can only look in the mirror of Zhu Bajie, and he is not a person inside and out. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a majestic voice say, "Hugh wants to talk nonsense! ”

When everyone heard this, they hurried over and said, "Lord Ministries is here." ”

It turned out that the head of the King Jing Party, Yuan Wei, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, arrived at the gate of the palace accompanied by several King Jing masters.

Yuan Wei glanced at those people coldly and said: "People must know how to be grateful, people have done us a great favor in the face of the prince, and this favor is still to be thanked......" said in an aggravated tone: "You are talking nonsense here, sneering, chilling the hearts of people all over the world!" ”

"The lower officials don't dare to ......" The adults hurriedly apologized: "We are also happy, feel free to say it, don't take it seriously." Tang Ruji, who was behind him, also turned the topic away and said: "The banquet is about to start, don't let the prince wait in a hurry." ”

Yuan Wei nodded at this time, and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to talk nonsense, you will have your good fruit to eat!" ”

The people even said 'yes' and surrounded him into the palace.

In the main hall of King Jing's mansion, the lanterns are colorful, beaming, the gongs and drums are loud, and the silk strings are long.

I saw twenty tables of eight immortals set up in the lobby, the tables were full of delicious food and wine, and the tables were full of officials and gentlemen who congratulated them. These people came from different parts of the city, but they had the same purpose, which was to celebrate the victory together.

The palace people in the palace shuttled between the tables, serving hot dishes to the guests, in the center of the main hall, there was a troupe raised by the palace, what kind of drama was being staged, it was too noisy around, and I couldn't hear what was singing, I could only see those bewitching figures, constantly flying to the table, which made the adults who love to ask flowers and willows dazzled and uneasy.

Accompanied by Yuan Wei, Tang Ruji and others, King Jing sat in the middle of the seat, tasting the wine and delicacies, and looking at the party henchmen sitting below, he felt a little proud of himself and the spring breeze.

Not only Yuan Wei became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was ready to enter the cabinet, but Tang Ruji also became the governor of Su Song, and the side out of the town will bring rich financial resources to the palace and boost their rapid growth...... The future is simply too exciting.
