The gate of the vermilion lacquer copper ring, the stone steps, the left side of the door is tied to the horse stone, the door is hung on the right lamp pole, the white wall of Daiwa, the high wall is deep, the eaves are red and the corners are magnificent.

This is not a rich and noble house, but the pavilions and lofts in the house are magnificent, the trees and mountains are verdant, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, which is not much better than the real house of the rich.

It's late at night. Willow tops on the moon.

A group of people shuttled through the corridor between the trees and rocks, passed the front yard and the middle yard, turned into the back yard, bypassed the curved corridor, and exposed a corner of the red building in the sparse flowers and trees on the opposite side, and the cornices were exposed.

"Master, Bohai Hou has arrived!" The old servant stood in front of the door of the study with a lantern and said in a low voice.

"Please!" A clear voice rang out in the study.

Shen Yun walked into the study quickly, bowed to the people in the room, and saluted: "Yuan Rang has seen Lord Gongfu!" ”

This is the residence of the Imperial Rite Minister. The husband in front of him, the three wisps of ink drooped his jaws, and his cheeks looked thinner, but his eyes became more and more vibrant.

"Hehe, Yuan, let's come, sit down and talk." Gongfu Xiao was obviously very happy to see him, and took him by the hand and sat down in the living room in the study. The old servant went to greet himself and looked at the tea, but did not mention it.

"I have long known that you have returned to the imperial capital, but I am busy with business, and I have not had time to visit you. Gongfu looked at Shen Yun with the kindness of seeing his friends and the pampering of his juniors.

Shen Yun owed a little, and when he saw that the old servant had finished serving tea, he retreated, and there were only the two of them in the room, so he said, "Brother Oi Cheng, you have lost a lot recently." As soon as I arrived in the imperial capital, you sent a letter, so it's just a courtesy to see it. You and I just know it. ”

In the absence of people, Shen Yun and Gongfu are like forgetting each other. There are not so many taboos.

Gongfu smiled and said, "Not really. But to be honest, I really want to go and see you, I heard that you have done a great thing in Bohai County, and the technique of combining vertical and horizontal is no worse than that of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and even the Wa Kingdom is destroyed in your hands...... Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that there have been a lot of things in the imperial capital recently. It's all about it. I really want to lift the three-foot sword and help your brother! ”

Shen Yun hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother, don't mention it, His Royal Highness Duke Hu is about to scold me to death...... Then again, why has Brother Oi Cheng been so busy lately? ”

At this moment, it was already over, but the official documents on the desk in the study were still stacked, and at a glance, I knew that the father-in-law was really busy with official business.

Gongfu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's thanks to you, if it weren't for the earth-shattering thing you did." Dude, I should have been more relaxed lately. ”

Shen Yun's expression moved, and he asked in a low voice, "But the Imperial Bank ......"

Gongfu Xiao nodded: "Not bad." His Majesty has deposed Landian, and now he has filtered the imperial bank center of the imperial capital from scratch, except for a few idle positions that are still in the hands of the Hou Party, the rest are in the hands of us and others. It's just that the local banks in these counties can't take over for a while. The foolish brother is now nominally a waiter of the Ministry of Rites. But what can be done is related to the household, so it is very busy...... By the way, you're here so late, but what's the matter? ”

Shen Yun smiled, Gongfu Xiao was puzzled for a while, and suddenly patted his head and said, "Ah, look at my brain, someone told me in the afternoon." You go to Yan Mansion today to pay the gift of the levy. There was a dispute with the Hou family of Zichuan, but this matter? ”

Shen Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "Not bad." Don't hide it from your brother. The eldest lady of the Yan family and I have a three-life covenant, and she also swore that she would not marry that person, but her parents' orders could not be disobeyed. I couldn't do it for a while, so I went to get hired, so I finally messed up today's engagement, but how to marry the eldest lady of the Yan family, I still need the help of my brother! ”

Gongfu Xiao narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard with his hand and said, "Yuan Rang, Yuan Rang, do you want me to tell Your Majesty about the marriage?" ”

Shen Yun hurriedly got up from his seat and threw himself to the ground: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and those who know me are brothers!" The Yan family is rich, Yan Zhun is the president of the Han Chamber of Commerce, and Ruyue and I are in love, if you can get your majesty to marry, it is really a matter of killing one stone. I hope my brother can be an adult! ”

Gongfu sighed, got up and said: "Yuan Rang, how can I not know how beneficial it is for you to marry Yan Ruyue and form a marriage with the Yan family to control the Imperial Bank, but this move is bound to intensify the dispute between the Hou Party and the Imperial Party......

Recently, I checked the bank ledger and found that there were too many unclear things between Yan Zhun and the Hou Party, and His Majesty was also worried about this, and he didn't know how to decide.

Once you are married to the Yan family, what should you do with these accounts? Moreover, Yan Zhun originally relied on the back party to start his business, how could it be so easy to ask him to change his court under the toughness at this moment? The foolish brother is worried that this matter will be self-defeating, but it will delay your life! ”

Shen Yun was stunned, and suddenly realized why Yan Zhun would so categorically refuse his dowry. The Yan family has long been a grasshopper on a rope with the Hou Party, and he can't do it if he wants to pick it out alone, even if the Imperial Party wants to entrap him, he is still worried about whether he has this qualification. In this way, this thing is really difficult to do.

Gongfu patted Shen Yun on the shoulder and said, "There is one more thing, Yuan Rang knows that His Royal Highness Zhigong and His Royal Highness Jin Gong will enter Beijing to worship the saint in the near future?" ”

"Huh? I really don't know. Shen Yunqi said.

Shen Yun's strange thing is not that Duke Zhi and Duke Jin want to enter Beijing, after all, whether it is a duke or a marquis, it is a tradition to enter Beijing regularly to pay homage to saints.

He wondered why Gongfu Xiao would say this to himself.

"Just as Brother Qingquan entered Beijing to pay homage to the saint in the first place, this time Zhigong and Jin Gong entered Beijing, in fact, it is also for the Imperial Bank." Gongfu Xiao glanced at Shen Yun and said: "Last time, His Royal Highness Yinggong failed to get the position of logistics officer, and the rebellion of the Japanese was quelled by you in a moment, and it is no longer necessary to raise troops on a large scale, and there is no reason for the army to be reassembled.

However, it is inevitable that Bohai County has suffered from plague and banditry for a long time, and a large amount of funds have been remitted to Bohai for the sake of people's livelihood. But these powers and wealth are in the hands of His Royal Highness Duke Hu and the Flying Cavalry, do you think the Hou Party will be comfortable? Will Ying Gong agree again? ”

Shen Yun suddenly said: "So this time Zhigong and Jin Gong entered Beijing to test it?" ”

"Not bad. This is a very sensitive time. His Majesty's desire to regain power in the Imperial Bank is irreversible, and no one can stop it. Some time ago, His Majesty even faintly had the intention of killing and completely solving the current situation, but fortunately, Prime Minister Yuwen and I tried our best to dissuade him, which calmed His Majesty's anger. At this time, if the party dispute intensifies because of your incident, I am really worried that the situation will get out of control...... Yuanrang, do you understand? ”

Of course Shen Yun understood. Gongfu's words are also reasonable, not that he does not agree to help, but that the situation does not allow it. In the hearts of these people, a love is far from being compared with the power in their hands. Once the situation in the court gets out of control, the emperor decides to use force to settle this party struggle that is about to exhaust his patience, and that is the real beginning of the chaos!

Everyone, including the post-party, doesn't want this to happen!

It has never been the focus of politicians' attention.

This is a special bathroom, located in the backyard flower garden, a separate room, surrounded by fragrant grass, flowers blooming, beautiful scenery, fragrant fragrance. Under the shade of the green in the distance is the cloister for people to walk, there is a stone path leading to here, and not far from the bathroom is a small pentagonal pavilion, there are stone tables and wooden benches in the pavilion, and there are several bushes of bamboo next to the pavilion. After bathing, refreshed, wearing light clothes, holding fragrant tea, sitting in this pavilion, quietly admiring the flowers of the four seasons, is really a pleasant and boundless thing.

The bathroom is very clean, well-equipped, inside and outside the two rooms, are paved with green bricks, the outside is the stove room, you can boil water and hang clothes, you can not use it much in summer, if you can continue to heat at any time in winter, it is very convenient. There is a heated floor around the room, and there is a pool five feet long and six feet wide with a floor drain and drainage pipes made of ceramics running through it. In the corner of the bath are hangers and wall boxes for bathing utensils.

Shen Yun lay naked in the pool, his whole body relaxed, his waist-length hair floating in the water, like aquatic plants floating in the pool, swaying along the current.

The fog and warmth in the interior make people feel drowsy in this cold winter.

However, Shen Yun was not sleepy at all. In addition to being full of thoughts, of course, there is also the reason why there is a transcription sitting outside.

"Huh, I knew that there was such a good thing to go out in your Huainan Hou Courtyard, I would have come a long time ago!" Shen Yun leaned against the pool, closed his eyes, and shouted, "You are not authentic, just tell me now!" ”

Fang Cheng put on his clothes outside, sneered and said, "Come on, if you don't talk about authenticity, who can be on your right?" In the morning, we were called to the battle, but when we slipped away, one of them ran first. I've never seen you so unrighteous! The big night came to me again, soft grinding hard bubble said to take a bath, I really don't know what you think. ”

Fang Cheng said complaining words in his mouth, but while wearing a loose robe, he still added a handful of firewood to Shen Yun's water stove outside.

Shen Yun knew that he didn't really go to his heart, and said with a smile: "Zhuge Yun and Ma Gu are the two of them okay?" ”

"Not good. Zhuge Yun said something better, but Ma Gu was angry. As soon as I returned to the emperor, I ran to find Princess Duanping...... By the way, you're really not going to explain it to Her Royal Highness? Fang Cheng asked, turning his head.

From here, you can see the dense water vapor, Shen Yun suddenly sank into the pool, and it took a while to poke his head out, spew out a mouthful of water, and sighed: "Explanation? What to explain? ”

"But there's no way for you to avoid her like this!" Fang Cheng said helplessly, "I asked you not to have anything to do with the princess, but now it seems that ......"

Shen Yun didn't tell Fang Cheng about his relationship with Zhou Hui, but who was Fang Ming, although he couldn't guess this, he could see that Zhou Hui was already deeply in love with Shen Yun, just from this time Shen Yun was injured, Zhou Hui almost didn't leave an inch. If it weren't for Shen Yun recuperating in the dormitory later, then Zhou Hui wouldn't know what amazing move to make!

At this moment, suddenly, the housekeeper of the Huainan Hou Courtyard hurriedly ran over from the corridor, holding the lantern in his hand and shaking it, and shouted anxiously: "Shizi, Shizi, it's not good, Her Royal Highness Princess Duanping kicked the door at the door!" ”
