Han Rui felt that he was familiar with the trend of history, if he found that he couldn't do anything at the end, he should be able to get out, but Qian Feng couldn't, and it would be difficult to climb up if he fell into the quagmire, in fact, if it wasn't for a coincidence, Han Rui didn't want to participate in it, after all, Li Shimin's attitude was too ambiguous.

Of course, these words must not be told to Qian Feng, but he has his own understanding, and said with a smile: "Also, I haven't been admitted yet, it's too early to say this." ”

In the past hundred years, the dynasty has changed rapidly, and the usurpation of the throne has happened several rounds, but he is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, Li Shimin has worked hard and did not dare to have the slightest slackness, but people's hearts, Han Rui wants to stop talking, forget it, the more he says, the more wrong it is, it is better not to mention it, and directly send Qian Feng back, and then return to Zheng Mansion.

Saying that he didn't want to buy a house was easy, but how to explain it was really troublesome, Han Rui had a headache, and slowly thought about how to appease a few female dependents and find an excuse to use...... Yankang Fang, just near the West Market, the palace of Li Tai, the king of Yue, was built in it, covering an extremely wide area, garden buildings, layers of houses, comparable to the inner garden of the palace, exquisite and gorgeous, some specifications of treatment, even far more than the crown prince Li Chengqian, it can be seen that Li Shimin dotes on Li Tai.

The palace is heavy, although it is heavily guarded, but it is open all the year round, the characters are endless, most of them are literati in Confucian robes and scarves, especially in recent months, the tributes from all over the country have poured into the capital, some poor scholars lack food and clothing, they have to stay in the temple, can not study at ease, Li Tai heard about it, often invited to accompany the banquet, there are many gifts, and even stay in the palace.

The Lantern Festival is three days, it is to call friends and attract friends, sing songs all night and night, sing the wind and sing the moon, hearty, a few actions, naturally attract many scholars to be grateful, praise and recite, admire the abnormal, so far, the reputation of Li Tai, the king of Yue, respect for talents, and the reputation of Corporal Lixian has gradually spread.

King Xian, for this title, Li Tai accepted it happily on the surface, but in fact, in his heart, he was very dissatisfied, why was he dissatisfied, vaguely, Li Tai also had some ideas, but he didn't dare to think deeply, but unconsciously, he was working hard in that direction, in recent years, he has made quite a lot of achievements, and he may have been used to it, and he encountered setbacks, which made Li Tai very angry.

The palace is exquisite and gorgeous, but the attic house where Li Tai lives is very simple, with snow walls on all sides, only hanging bamboo curtains, and simple desks, which are a little damaged, several people sit opposite each other, and one person says: "Your Highness, that Han Rui is too uninteresting, and now it is the third time to refuse your kindness." ”

Li Taiyu's eyebrows locked slightly, and the man continued: "Actually, in my opinion, there are many learned people in the world, so why should His Highness look down on him......"

During the banquet, everyone watched coldly, without speaking, as if they were looking at a clown jumping off the beam, Li Tai's eyes also flashed a touch of boredom, and Zhou Wei next to him seemed to be aware of it, and quietly ripped off Xiao Ye's clothes, and the noise stopped.

Li Tai repeated: "In a hurry, I can't make up the money, I don't plan to buy it, that's it, there is nothing else?" ”

"I returned the deposit of the tooth man and gave a gift to make amends." A young man said, but it was Gu Yin, who joined the army of Yue Wangfu, and was instructed by Li Tai to buy half of the mansion and give it to Han Rui, but unfortunately he didn't know which link went wrong, and he fell short.

Li Tai groaned, and suddenly smiled: "Anyway, this matter has worked hard to take care of Gongcao." ”

"Don't dare." Gu Yin said, neither arrogant nor humble, but there was more joy in his heart.

Li Tai said softly: "Gu Gongcao has been in the palace for several years, and he has always been dedicated and capable, but the palace is too small to display his talents, and it is also the fault of Xiao Wang." ”

Gu Yin was frightened, and hurriedly denied it, Li Tai waved his hand slightly, and said with a warm smile: "Gu Gongcao is talented, it can't be limited to the palace, Xiao Wang decided, Ming said that he would recommend it to his father, so that Gu Gongcao could be used as a director and serve the court." ”

Suddenly, a few people next to him had a little more envy and jealousy in their eyes, and Gu Yin was also a little excited, that is, he understood Li Tai's surname that would be rewarded for his merits, so he decided to contribute to the house, not wanting that things were not done, but he got an unexpected joy, and his heart was happy, Gu Yin hurriedly thanked him.

Li Tai smiled and personally supported him, feeling complacent, but when he thought of Han Rui, most of his good mood disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help frowning and thinking, what was not done well, and he actually made him refuse his kindness again and again.

"Your Highness......" Gu Yin called softly.

Li Tai came back to his senses, smiled shyly, and said self-deprecatingly: "Xiao Wang also feels strange, is it not careless, he did something rude, which caused Han Rui to have prejudices. ”

"The problem should not be with His Highness." Gu Yin said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Why is that?" Li Tai asked, but Gu Yin couldn't answer, shaking his head and thinking hard.

Xiao Ye suddenly said: "In my opinion, Han Rui is close to the crown prince, and it must be that the prince said bad things about His Royal Highness, so he ......."

"Shut up! What is the crime of slandering the prince and dividing the relationship between me and the royal brother. Li Tai reprimanded angrily, his eyes were stern, awe-inspiring, and full of disgust.

"Your Highness, I ......" Xiao Ye was at a loss, half loud, and found that everyone's eyes were very strange, as if they were pitying, as if they were sighing, some things, just know it in their hearts, put it into their mouths, how can it be done by a wise man.

"Get out, don't let Lone see you again." Li Tai scolded, and angrily brushed his sleeves away.

Xiao Ye suddenly panicked, stepped forward to chase, but was stopped by the palace guards, so he had to jump to his feet, waved his hand and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness......"

No one paid attention to him, everyone at the banquet stood up one after another, surrounded Gu Yin, congratulated, and then hugged away, Zhou Wei was a little hesitant, obviously struggling, and finally gritted his teeth, walked quickly, and climbed to the rich, Xiao Ye's role is not as good as before, and now he has offended King Yue, and if he interacts with him again, wouldn't it be unlucky.

His physical strength was weak, Xiao Ye naturally couldn't resist the interception of the palace guards, so he had to give up, but after turning around, he found that the house was empty, even Zhou Wei was gone, his face was suddenly pale, and he lost his soul for a while, and after a long time, he said hatefully: "Hmph, you will regret it sooner or later!" ”

Dropping a sentence, Xiao Ye bowed his head and left, staggering, like a lost dog.

Han Rui naturally didn't know that the resentful enemies of the past had fallen apart and gone their own way, but even if it was clear, Han Rui would be cynical at most, and he wouldn't take it to heart, the Lantern Festival holiday was over, and he returned to work as a secretary and supervisor, perhaps after passing the test, several chief officials of the Bureau of Writings began to distribute some simple affairs and handed them over to Han Rui to deal with.

Piecemeal, not much difficult, but more cumbersome, at the beginning, Han Rui was naturally in a hurry, but under the guidance of Shangguan Yi, he slowly got used to it, and he didn't feel hard, besides, there were few officials in the secretary and supervisor, but there were quite a lot of officials, and some errands could be ordered to go down, and there was no need for Han Rui to go out in person, it was much easier.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, the imperial court announced, on the twenty-second day of the first month, a scientific examination was held in the Ministry of Rites, the news came out, the Shenggong of the capital was happy and sad, and the mood was different, but the happiest thing was that the shopkeeper who sold pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the east and west cities, the four treasures of the study were almost out of stock, and the inventory was all emptied, in exchange for several large baskets of yellow copper coins, and the mouth was so happy that they couldn't close it.

In the last few days, it was none of his business, hanging high, Han Rui was naturally relaxed and comfortable, but Qian Feng was sad, holding the book and reciting it, he was restless in sleep, reading hard night and night, and the bags under his eyes were swollen.

Originally, Qian Xu was very satisfied with Qian Feng's hard work like this, but seeing his son haggard day by day, the flesh on his body was slowly reduced, and his small belly miraculously disappeared, and he fainted to the ground for a while, Qian Xu realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly asked Han Rui to come and help enlighten and persuade.

When he returned to the mansion and saw Qian Feng lying on the couch, still holding the scroll, Han Rui was shocked, isn't it, in just a few days, he has lost so much weight, at least twenty pounds, in the next generation, it must be enviable, unbelievable, Han Rui confirmed in a low voice: "Third brother, is it you?" ”

Qian Feng's eyes did not move, staring at the scroll blankly, and did not answer.

Wouldn't it be stupid, Han Rui was shocked, and took the scroll with one hand, but found that Qian Feng still didn't move, his eyes didn't blink, he looked ahead sluggishly, and gestured a few times under his nose, still like this, seeing this situation, Han Rui was startled, and when he was about to call someone, he heard a snoring sound, and after confirming that it came from Qian Feng, Han Rui breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't cry or laugh, and he could sleep with his eyes wide open, what a genius.

I haven't slept for a long time, Han Rui sighed lightly, covered Qian Feng with a silk jacket, and tiptoed out of the door, Qian Xu and his wife immediately greeted him, ready to speak, Han Rui shushed and motioned for them not to make a sound, and came to the living room, Han Rui smiled and said: "It's okay, I guess I'm too tired, the third brother is asleep." ”

"If only that were the case." Qian Xu sighed lightly: "This kid hasn't closed his eyes for several days, and the doctor who invited him said that if he continues like this, he will be exhausted, and he is afraid that something will happen." ”

"He didn't sleep for long, but he will wake up again later." Zheng said, worried.

Well, Han Rui frowned, hurried to Qian Feng's window, and found that this was the case, Qian Feng had already woken up, and was watching the scroll just now, dumbfounded, without the wit of the past.

"Twenty-one Lang, what now?" Wiping his eyes lightly, Zheng said mournfully: "Don't take the test, let's go home, it's not uncommon to have a jinshi-like head, as long as San Lang is safe and sound." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go in and persuade immediately." Han Rui said, pushed the door directly, strode forward, grabbed the scroll, and threw it directly on the ground.

Qian Feng was in a trance, dazed, looking at Han Rui with hazy eyes, only to recognize it after half a ring, barely squeezing out a smile, his voice was hoarse, and he said weakly: "Twenty-one Lang, you are here." ”

"yes, I'm here." Han Rui spoke in a low tone, gently patted Qian Feng's shoulder, sighed long, with a sad and sad face, and said in a choked voice: "Third brother, tell you a news, you must hold on, don't be sad, ...... in the future There's still a chance. ”

"What... Message? It seems that something is not good, and Qian Feng's consciousness has gradually returned to his physical body.
