The autumn breeze is bleak and the leaves are falling.

At this time, most of the sunset in the sky has disappeared, and the western sky has only the next golden-red edge. Night began to envelop the land of Jiangning.

It was getting late, and it was already twilight in the entire bamboo forest.

The autumn wind swept by, and in the dark bamboo forest, the fallen leaves rustled.

In the pavilion, the fire is red. From the gaps, the reflected firelight illuminates the pavilion dappled and bright.

Wu Ningyuan sent someone to replace the tea, and while drinking tea with Hong Quan, he talked about the person who pushed all this behind the changes in Jiangning.

"This person, with his own strength, stirred up the officialdom of Jiangning, and even the officialdom of the entire Great Zhou was shaken. And this person has been hiding behind the scenes, and it is not until now that he has gradually paid for the water. Oh, it's really a thousand pounds! ”

Wu Ning held the teacup in his hand, took a sip of tea, and most of the wine was awake. Thinking of this person, the lazy style of Pingli is in contact with other resolute wrists, and I really don't know what to say.

A scholar who is light and calm, who seems to have no heart for anything, and a scheming wizard who is really scheming and resolute. When these two different identities overlap on the body of a person, even if Wu Ning has been in the wind and rain for most of his life, it is the first time he has seen such a character.

remembered that some time ago, An Peng was forced by this person to kill his own subordinates. Wu Ningyuan still felt that his scalp was numb.

That's amazing!

Hong Quan was on the side, listening quietly. Seeing that Ning Wangye smiled helplessly in his eyes at that time, and sometimes sparkled. When the scholar left just now, Prince Ning stared deeply at his back.

He finally figured out who this person really was.

"Lu, Gongzi Lu?" Because of the shock in his heart, coupled with his efforts to lower his voice, Hong Quan, who was very excited, widened his eyes and made a strange sound in his throat.

Wu Ningyuan glanced at him and nodded with a smile.

Hiss......

It turned out to be him!

Hong Quan thought of the scholar who was sitting with him just now, chatting and laughing. I can't help but feel a chill down my spine and a numb scalp.

He sat there with a restless expression, his eyes shining. The fist hidden in the sleeve, clenched and released. He let out a long breath, and when he raised his head, he saw Wu Ning staring at him happily.

Hong Quan stretched out his hands and rubbed his somewhat numb face. Shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I really didn't expect it to be him!" ”

He thought about it, this Jiang Ning's recent great changes in officialdom, and remembered Lu Heng's wry smile and helpless look just now, and his heart was also full of feelings.

Glancing at Prince Ning, Hong Quan finally nodded, smashed his mouth and said, "Heh, it's amazing!" ”

Wu Ningyuan sighed, raised his head, looked at the stars rising in the dark blue sky, and nodded: "Yes, it's really amazing!" Oh, this king also found out two days ago. If it weren't for Zhan's guards, this king would have been kept in the dark until now! ”

He shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and found that it was a little cold. On the side, Hong Quan hurriedly stepped forward, held the teapot, and replaced it with one.

After Wu Ningyuan took a sip, he frowned and said with a smile: "This king said some time ago that he has always been curious. Jiangning officialdom was originally a pool of stagnant water, how could such a big change suddenly happen. Scold. In the end, I found out that it was Yongzheng who was behind the line, stirring the stagnant water. Moreover, he hasn't taken action in person, just by the hands of a small family, he will destroy this Jiangning officialdom, stirring chickens and dogs, and several families! ”

"Then, Su Guangyi was killed, and Liufu was destroyed. Could it be that it was all planned by Lu Gongzi? Hong Quan's eyes widened, his face in disbelief.

Wu Ningyuan glanced at him and nodded.

He saw Hong Quan's sluggish face, but he also thought it was funny. After all, it is really rare to make this heartless fat man shocked to such an extent.

Wu Ningyuan took a sip of tea, put down the cup, gently pinched a leaf floating in on the table, and after playing with his fingertips for a while, he said with a smile: "It's also to blame Su Guangyi for being unlucky, who are you messing with, you have to mess with him." But then again, it's even more interesting. No one could have imagined that a scholar who seemed to be powerless would have the ability to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain. Hey, speaking of which, heh, I can only blame him Su Guangyi and Liu Yuanyi for being unlucky! ”

Seeing that Hong Quan finally woke up from the shock, however, this fat man still felt that it was too sudden and didn't dare to believe it. I kept rubbing my fat face with both hands.

Wu Ningyuan didn't care about him, he still held the tea cup, and said with a smile: "This kid, it looks like he doesn't show his water. Playing with power tricks and conspiracies is really spicy! Unexpectedly, the old man also had a time when he looked away. originally thought that his talent was more than enough in governing the country, but I was afraid that he would be a little powerless in officialdom. I didn't expect this kid to play with the trick of power, tsk, it's really amazing! ”

Hong Quan smiled and nodded, but he was still shocked in his heart.

Thinking of that scholar, it seems that in addition to going to work in the palace, he chatted with Wu Ningyuan and himself. So how did he stir up the nerves of this Jiangning officialdom.

In his doubts, he considered his words and asked the reason.

Wu Ningyuan smiled, his fingers lightly knocked on the table, looked at him and said, "Do you remember, some time ago, the matter of the bidding for the supply of military supplies to the imperial court?" ”

Hong Quan didn't know what the bidding had to do with Lu Heng, but he still nodded and said: "Xiaguan knows that at the bidding meeting, Liu Yuanyi took out the silk soft armor that was originally only available in the palace. Then with the support of Fan Zeng and Su Guangyi, he won the top spot! ”

Wu Ningyuan smiled, looked at him and paused for a moment in his tone, and then suddenly said, "If you say, from the beginning, the silk soft armor does not exist. The second son of the palace has been acting, what do you think? ”

"Uh, huh?" Hong Quan's eyes widened, and his head was full of question marks.

His head spun quickly, and after brushing back and forth, he finally caught a trace from Wu Ningyuan's words.

That says something, from the very beginning of the tender, or rather, much longer. Lu Heng has already started the layout, and the bidding is just a step in this game.

It was with this move, coupled with silk soft armor, that Su Guangyi and Liu Yuanyi were completely drawn closer to this game.

Hong Quan secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with palpitations: "Is the prince saying that this silk soft armor is a sleeve and a trap?" ”

Wu Ningyuan looked at Hong Quan with a teachable gaze, stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

"Heh, Master Lu, what a good means. With this non-existent silk soft armor, it lured them into this abyss step by step! Hong Quan licked his dry lips and said with a dry smile. He thought about the trick again, and the more he felt the subtlety of this trap, the more he thought about it, the more wonderful it became. couldn't help nodding and praised: "Lu Gongzi's grasp of people's hearts can be said to have reached the point of perfection. This chess game is interlocking, and once people take a wrong step, they will lose all the games, and they can't turn back! The prince is right, Su Liu and the others are really bloody, and now they kicked on the iron plate! ”

Wu Ningyuan nodded, he bent down, picked up the wooden stick next to him, and raised the fire a little more. Then, he put down the stick, clapped his hands, and said, "These things are really wonderful to say. However, later, Yongzheng happened to take advantage of Fan Zeng's assassination to provoke the palace. Pushing this matter to the point of irrepressibility is even more a stroke of genius! ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

"Of course, do you think that just by virtue of the passing off of a military product, the imperial brother can reprimand An Peng, and then force him to attack his subordinates? That letter is the crux of the whole thing! Wu Ningyuan touched his beard, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.

After that, Wu Ningyuan told Hong Quan about Lu Heng, borrowing the east wind, to ask the palace to send a letter to the emperor.

After Hong Quan listened, he couldn't help but nod. However, he thought of another thing, and suddenly a cold sweat flowed down.

He raised his head, glanced around, and lowered his voice and said, "Isn't that, isn't it that Gongzi Lu even ...... His Majesty together?"

Halfway through his words, he saw Wu Ningyuan staring at him with a serious expression, and then shook his head.

Hong Quan suddenly realized, nodded, and never mentioned the matter again.

However, he still pinched a cold sweat for Lu Heng's boldness in his heart.

This kid is brave enough to be fat, even Emperor Yanjing dares to calculate!

The autumn wind is gusting and the night is dark. The cold wind swept through the bamboo forest, and the fallen dead leaves swept with the wind, whirring. In the stove, the fire was burning brightly and crackling. On the stove, the teapot snorted, and the white gas rose and disappeared into the air.

Wu Ningyuan's expression was faint, and he turned his head and looked out of the curtain, the bleak night.

My heart is at peace.

……

Coming out of King Ning's Mansion, Lu Heng took Wu Ningyuan's carriage and headed towards the palace.

From being kidnapped in Hubei to now, I have been missing for several days. It is estimated that my sister-in-law is very worried. When I came back today, I thought that I would go home first to report my safety, but I never thought that I would be dragged to Wuyi Lane by the Zhan guards.

After arguing with the two old men, I felt relaxed and comfortable.

It's just that Hong Quan is in front of Wu Ningyuan, but he always seems to be a little unable to let go.

However, when I think about it, I don't think it's a big deal. Between him and Wu Ningyuan, after all, there is a huge gap in identity. In this era, if Hong Quan is like himself, it seems a little inappropriate for the old man to call Wu Ningyuan the old man.

Then Lu Heng laughed and scolded himself in his heart, he was bored and thinking about these things, it was purely a pain in the egg.

Sitting in the carriage, I suddenly felt a refreshing wind blowing into the curtain, with a familiar feeling. Lu Heng lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, and in front of him, the bright moon of the Qinhuai River was still there. The willow trees on the riverside are still pleasant and beautiful at night.

On the river, the flower boat Langfang stopped on the shore. From time to time, some students and tourists, in this cold night, the graceful jade tree shook the folding fan in the wind, pretending to be serious and walked back and forth on the side of the boat a few times, attracting the attention of the beautiful woman on the boat. Waiting for the other party to come out of the shipyard with a smile, standing at the bow of the boat and waving to him affectionately. These students would pretend to recite the poems that had been prepared a few days ago, and then say that since the girl sincerely wanted to invite, she would go up and take a look.

In the fourth year of the Great Zhou Qingyuan, on the second day of October, on the Qinhuai River, the bright moon is still the same.
