Chapter Fifty-Seven: To the East Palace

In the morning, a carriage stopped outside the East Palace, Liu Sheng and Jia Fu got out of the carriage, and a guard had been waiting for a long time: "Two gentlemen, Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, please come with me."

The deafening cheers of the East Palace School came out, and Chai Yu and Yang Yong were competing with swords. The two saw Liu Sheng and Jia Fu withdraw their hands one after another, and the sword was unsheathed and handed to the guards on the side. After the guard took the sword, he bowed and retreated.

Liu Sheng saw this scene and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, Yang Yong, two good Yaxing."

Yang Yong and Chai Yu hurriedly walked over when they heard this, and Chai Yu looked at Liu Sheng: "It's okay this morning, just move your muscles."

"Yang Yong doesn't feel much when he sees you on weekdays, but when I look at it today, I didn't expect you to have such good skills." Jia Fu remembered Yang Yong and Chai Yu just now, and sighed for a while.

Yang Yong smiled embarrassedly when he heard Jia Fu's exaggeration: "That's His Royal Highness's concession."

"Yang Yong, you don't have to be too humble, in fact, if you want to say that the person who is hidden deeply, it is you Jia Fu." Chai Yu turned his head to look at Jia Fu.

Jia Fu was stunned for a while and scratched his head: "I don't know how to dance with guns and sticks, how can I hide it deeply."

"You have a good knife that kills invisibly". Chai Yu looked at Jia Fu deliberately teasing, looked at Jia Fu with a puzzled face, and laughed softly.

Jia Fu looked at Chai Yu and hurriedly shook his head at several people: "I am a person who aspires to be a businessman, how can I have a knife."

"You have a newspaper, and thousands of scholars are at your disposal. They criticize and write, isn't this knife powerful?" Chai Yu sincerely admires the newspaper run by Jia Fu.

When Jia Fu heard the newspaper, he hurriedly denied it: "This is all Brother Sheng's idea, I'm just a miscellaneous person."

"Your Highness invites you today, what is the matter?" Since they looked at each other and smiled, Liu Sheng hurriedly relieved Jia Fu of the siege.

Chai Yu looked at Liu Sheng and smiled: "It's inconvenient to go out during this lonely time." A few days ago, I heard that someone came to the newspaper and said that you had set up a newspaper. Lonely rejoiced, discussed with Yang Yong, and decided to ask you to come to the East Palace to celebrate for you."

"Thanks to His Royal Highness's love, I am grateful." Liu Sheng hurriedly returned the salute.

Chai Yu seemed to think of something, and felt that this was not the place to talk after all: "There are a lot of flowers in the garden, and they are blooming brightly now." You might as well accompany Lonely, go to the garden for a good walk, and enjoy the flowers."

As soon as the words fell, Chai Yu and Yang Yong walked directly to the garden. Liu Sheng and Jia Fu hurriedly followed.

In the garden, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the birds are singing and fragrant. A gust of wind swept through, bringing a pungent fragrance. Jia Fu looked at the garden full of flowers, and he was envious. casually pointed to a group of flowers not far away: "It's summer now, Your Highness's garden scenery is really enviable."

"These flowers on your fingers are neither from the Central Plains, nor are they planted by us." Chai Yu followed Jia Fu's gaze and shook his head for a while. Looking at these flowers, a past comes to mind.

Jia Fu wondered, could it be that there are still flowers in this East Palace, not planted by the royal family: "This thing in the East Palace was not planted by you?" That's who".

"Yang Yong, do you remember this, these flowers have been planted here for 13 years, and when they left, only two were planted." Chai Yu didn't answer Jia Fu's question, but turned his head to look at Yang Yong and asked.

Yang Yong looked at the flowers in the garden, and the memories of his youth came to mind: "How can I forget, His Highness said that Sister Rong, their sister and brother." Thirteen years ago, they returned to Dali and planted a flower here. Ten years ago, the first emperor of Dali died mysteriously, on the night before the funeral. Sister Rong mobilized the forbidden army to wash the capital of Dali and helped her younger brother ascend the throne. When my father received these news, he was full of praise for Sister Rong. Counting the time, Sister Rong has been regent for ten years, and her younger brother has turned eighteen this year, and he has also reached the age of pro-government."

"The day before yesterday, Da Li sent a letter to the country, saying that Sister Rong returned to her brother and came to Luoyang to visit her uncle, the Emperor of the Great Zhou. People are on the way, and they will arrive soon". Chai Yu told Yang Yong what he knew.

When Yang Yong heard this, he smiled: "I haven't seen you for thirteen years, I don't know how Sister Rong is now."

"Your Highness, you are all here." Wang An came in a hurry from not far away.

Several people looked at Wang An, who was sweating profusely, and was stunned, and Chai Yu asked tentatively: "Wang An, why are you running in such a hurry."

"Your Highness's big thing, look at it." Wang An hurriedly handed the two rolls of paper in his sleeve to Chai Yu. After reading it, Chai Yu handed the two rolls of paper in his hand to Liu Sheng, Jia Fu, and Yang Yong. After the three of them finished reading it, there was a discussion.

Jia Fu scolded directly: "It's not a pity for such a person to die, what are Your Highness waiting for." Directly confront His Majesty and punish him for his sins. As a scholar, he used his position to accept bribes. The crime of annexing large tracts of land shall be punished".

"Is there a witness?". Chai Yu looked at Wang An and asked, if these people don't kill, it's not enough to vent the anger of the people.

Wang An nodded and looked at Chai Yu: "A few days ago, I entrusted a friend from Anzhou to secretly send the bitter master to Luoyang, and he should be on the way at this time."

"As soon as the witnesses arrive, Lone will immediately show his father." Chai Yu thought of what he had just seen, and his heart was cold.

Liu Sheng thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "May I ask Your Highness, what will happen if Your Majesty is revealed."

"If the evidence is conclusive, the dismissal is inevitable," Chai Yu said with great certainty.

Liu Sheng shook his head and looked at the two scrolls: "It is not easy for a Shangshu to be deposed, and the relationship network is intertwined. Even if His Royal Highness argues with reason, what if the official is dismissed. Now that the officials who are determined to reform are idle at home, can His Highness guarantee that his successor will be a good official? If you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it."

"Then you say, what should Lone do? Is it left to its own devices?" Chai Yu looked at Liu Sheng dissatisfied.

Liu Sheng shook his head: "It's not appropriate to make a noise at this time, just this one thing is far from enough, Your Highness has to collect more evidence, and at the same time find a way to change the law officials."

"It's not easy to talk about the officials of the Restoration Law...... Chai Yu smiled bitterly, he had suffered a lot during this time, and he had nothing to gain except for his position in the East Palace becoming more and more unstable.

Jia Fu didn't feel anything: "Your Highness is waiting with peace of mind, and when the evidence is enough, it is not too late to play Your Majesty in person."

"I'm just afraid of the current situation, I can't afford to wait." Yang Yong thought back to what he had experienced during this time and sighed for a long time.

Wang An thought for a moment, and a eager light appeared in his eyes: "Among the six departments, the officials and households have taken refuge in King Yong. If this matter can bring down the official book, then King Yong's vitality will be greatly damaged. We might try, and whoever succeeds us can at least make things a little bit better."

"No matter what, we have nothing to lose." Yang Yong hurriedly agreed.

Liu Sheng saw that the three of them were interested in this matter, and they were determined not to get involved. The battle for the storage position is not something that he and Jia Fu can easily intervene in: "Your Highness, the hour is not early, we plan to rush to Chang'an tomorrow, so we will leave first."

"Chang'an? Why do you want to go to Chang'an?" Liu Sheng's words interrupted the topic of several people, and Chai Yu became confused.

Liu Sheng and Jia Fu hurriedly recounted what happened during this time. Chai Yu sighed: "No wonder, it turns out that you want to go to Chang'an and establish a good hall, a newspaper and a pedestrian street. Since you have an appointment with Cousin Kexin, Lone is not forced to stay. This is going to Chang'an, how long will you come back".

"The long is half a month, and the short is ten days". Liu Sheng looked at Chai Yu and thought for a moment in his heart.

Yang Yong seemed to remember something: "Don't forget, visit Sister Yiyi." Say hello to me, and say goodbye last time without saying goodbye, I really had to say goodbye."

"Yang Yong, don't worry, Sister Yiyi is not such a small person." Jia Fu took care of Yang Yong.

Liu Sheng wanted to speak and stopped, but he couldn't help it for a long time, and carefully advised: "Your Highness, think twice about everything."

"Gu understands what you mean, you won't be impulsive" Chai Yu nodded at Liu Sheng.

Several people said goodbye for a while, Liu Sheng and Jia Fu slowly walked out of the East Palace, and a touch of sorrow quietly came to their hearts.
