[Chapter 40: The Unnamed Pavilion, Seen in Pinghu]

(PS: Today's update is a bit late, don't blame everyone.) Hehe, as for the question that a friend said that Shen Yun declared war, Gaga, there will be an answer in this chapter, everyone will know it after reading it! In the end, ask for votes! Recommended Ticket!! )

…………………… Dividing line ........................

The water of Weiming Lake is still clear. A pool of turquoise, like a glossy jadeite, buckled between heaven and earth. The summer heat has dissipated a lot.

Shen Yun, who had a white scarf wrapped around his head and sackcloth on his shoulders, sat in the Weiming Pavilion, looking at the lake in front of him in a quiet daze.

This was the fourth day that he had cleared his grievances. He spent four days in prison, and as soon as he came out, he went straight to Beppu, Marquis of Bohai. Beppu, covered in white makeup, is indescribably desolate. Prostrate in front of his father's coffin, Shen Yun wept profusely. If it weren't for Shen Wu and Shen Zhan pulling them, they would have almost cried to death there.

The funeral rites of the Marquis of Bohai were handled by officials of the Ministry of Etiquette. The Shen family only needs to arrange for people to come out and call for the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Mu Si didn't know where to hide, and the Shen family's industry in Kyoto fell to Shen Wu and Shen Zhan all at once. Shen Zhan was better, but Shen Wu was a martial artist who didn't know anything about business, so he had to leave everything to Shen Zhan to take care of. This Shen Zhan was also very good, and in just three days, he took over the pharmacy, the port, and several specialty stores, not only did not let their operations be affected by the death of Bohai Hou, but made the Shen family's business look like a great change after a big change.

Shen Wu told Shen Yun that Shen Zhan was a pawn placed by the Marquis of Bohai in Kyoto. It is specifically for Musi.

Shen Yun asked, "Is the relationship between my father and my eldest mother good?" ”

Shen Wu said: "The relationship between Master Hou and the master mother is not good, nor is it bad. The union of the two of them is itself because of the exchange of interests. At that time, Hou Ye was only the second son of the Bohai family, although he was a descendant, but he was not a son. Liang Gong Xiao Teng married a woman to Hou Ye, the purpose of which was to put Hou Ye on the throne of the world! ”

Shen Yun asked, "What about the original son of the Shen family?" ”

Shen Wu was silent and did not answer.

This made Shen Yun's heart more and more uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that the things he had to face were probably more complicated and difficult.

The funeral ceremony of the Marquis of Bohai was in charge of the royal master of ceremonies sent by the royal family. It was both grand and luxurious. There are 666 people who cry, stroop, hold the throne, and hold the coffin! Not counting the countless accompanying Shen family members. The coffin of the coffin stopped at the sacrificial flag slope outside the city. After that, Shen Yun turned around and rushed back to the emperor.

The reason for returning to the emperor is very simple, tomorrow he will enter the palace to face the saint, and at the same time officially inherit the title of Marquis of Bohai. Before that, he had to get the approval and admonition of the Emperor's sacrificial wine.

Life is always trivial. There weren't so many earth-shattering events happening one after another. At least that's how Dida's life is now. The upsurge of discussion set off by the assassination of the Marquis of Bohai in the Imperial University disappeared on the day Shen Yun was acquitted. The students walking on the road all looked at Shen Yun sideways, and when they met some people who had talked before, they just bowed their hands and didn't say a word, for fear that Shen Yun would affect them.

Shen Yun also knew that he was wearing linen and filial piety, and he should not have much contact with people. The funeral of an accidental death is not a happy event, and this kind of mold has always been the most taboo for the Han people.

When I arrived at the Ronsha, I learned that I had something to do with the sacrificial sake and would not be able to return until later. So Shen Yun came to the Weiming Pavilion again, let this beautiful scenery infiltrate his soul, and by the way, he waited for the return of the sacrificial wine.

In the center of this lake, it seems that you can also stay away from those mundane trivial things.

At this time, a leaf boat slowly rowed towards the Weiming Pavilion. On the bow of the boat with a canopy, James's tall figure appeared, looking at Shen Yun and smiling.

Shen Yun greeted him, walked into the pavilion with his hand, sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and couldn't wait to ask, "How is Teng Yujun?" ”

James smiled: "Yuan let me be relieved, I will only return after Teng Yujun successfully arrives in Ruyang." He said that in half a month at most, he would return with Huainan Hou. If you have any doubts, please ask! ”

On that day, Fang saw that Shen Yun had left the lobby of the Criminal Department safely, so he calmed down. I can't wait for the dawn, so I have to go south to find the Huainan Marquis who is the saint of Beijing. Shen Yun didn't even have time to transcribe with Fang Xuan, so he begged James, who was going to see him off, to transcribe a few words to Fang Xuan. James was also real, and he actually sent Fang Cheng all the way to Ruyang, a hundred miles away.

Shen Yun frowned and said, "Will it take half a month?" But tomorrow I will enter the palace to face the saint, and then I will help the soul to return to my hometown, how can I wait here for half a month? ”

James suddenly said, "Yuan Rang, I have a question for you." ”

Shen Yun thought about it, so he said casually: "Just ask!" ”

"Why do you want to see Huainan Hou so much?"

"Because I still have a lot of questions that I can't figure out. Huainan Hou and my father are world friends, and they should be able to answer me these answers! ”

"However, isn't His Royal Highness Duke Hu also Ling Zun's best friend? It is said that His Royal Highness Hu Gong will be able to reach Kyoto in the next day, wouldn't it be better for you to go and ask him to solve your doubts? James finally voiced his deepest doubts.

Shen Yun glanced at him, but was speechless for a while. Finally, he said, "James, do you think I can trust you?" ”

James didn't expect Shen Yun to ask such a question, and he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Shen Yun smiled self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, how can you say such things now...... Hehe, in fact, I also wanted to go over and ask His Royal Highness Duke Hu, but you also know that His Royal Highness Duke Hu is one of the four generalissimos of the empire, and this time he returned to Beijing to report to His Majesty, and at the same time to discuss the next battle plan with the Huns. How will he have time to pay attention to me, son of an old man? What's more, I will soon be returning to my hometown, and I don't have time to see His Royal Highness Duke Hu! ”

James sighed deeply, and suddenly said, "Yuan Rangjun, are you worried that His Royal Highness Duke Hu does not want to see you, or are you worried that the emperor of your country will be suspicious of you?" ”

Shen Yun was stunned and said, "You...... How do you know? ”

James smiled: "Yuan Rangjun, I admit that your country has a long history, and it is indeed difficult for my country to compare with it in terms of political power. However, we have been together for so long, how much have we always learned, right? ”

Shen Yun shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't go around the bend." James, how much do you know? ”

James shook his hand and said, "It's not how much I know, but how much I guessed!" ”

James stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, looking at the blue water.

Shen Yun walked up to him and asked, "Then how many did you guess?" ”

James turned his head and smiled at him, his blue eyes full of sly smiles: "Not much, but not a lot." I don't know how Shen Yuanrang was two months ago, but although Shen Yuanrang is now a calm person, he definitely doesn't look like a reckless man. Although I don't know who is going to kill your father and son, I can also get a glimpse of this person's strength. But as soon as you came out of the lobby of the criminal department, you swore a poisonous oath in public, for fear that the person would not know that you and him were not in the same sky, hehe, if it wasn't for Yuan Rangjun You have enough to rely on, how could you be so reckless? ”

Shen Yun smiled: "Then you might guess what I rely on?" ”

James nodded affirmatively: "Of course, if my guess is correct, Yuan Rangjun doesn't know how to win the support of the emperor of your country!" ”

Shen Yun glanced at him in surprise, and smiled helplessly: "Is it really so easy to be seen through?" I thought I was hiding it well! ”

James also laughed: "Actually, Yuan Rangjun has already covered it up very well, but the emperor of your country seems to be a little anxious, so he has revealed a flaw." According to your country's etiquette system, there can be no happy events before the funeral. However, the emperor of your country not only personally issued a holy decree to forgive your sins, but also let you enter the palace the day after the funeral...... Hehe, there must be a reason why I want to see you so urgently?! ”

James's last sentence seems to be an affirmative sentence, and it is a bit of an inquiry. Shen Yun only pretended not to hear, but patted James on the shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "James, I don't think you should return to China, but stay and be an official!" With your wisdom, you will definitely achieve something! ”

Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, James smiled bitterly: "In the land of the new state that has been attached to your country for five hundred years, there has not been a cabinet minister until now, can I, a Roman, be worthy of those five hundred years of assimilation education?" Yuan Rangjun, the matter of the Yellow Turban is not far away, I am deeply worried about the current situation in your country! ”

Shen Yun didn't expect James to say such a ...... Some inexplicable words.

"I have a lot of worries, and I really don't have the mood and consciousness to worry about the country and the people. For such things, let the temple princes do the work! Shen Yun waved his hand and said, "I'd better go first to see if I have come back from planting sacrificial wine, if I can't get approval today, I don't know if I can enter the palace tomorrow!" ”

Saying that, Shen Yun beckoned to the boatman and asked him to ferry over.

James followed Shen Yun and said softly: "Yuan Rangjun, Mencius of your country once said that the people are precious and the king is light." I hope that Yuan Rangjun can say to the emperor of your country, this matter of people's livelihood is imminent, and it must be guarded against! ”

Shen Yun Huoran turned his head, looked at James with blazing eyes, and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

James turned his head away and said with some hesitation: "It's nothing, I just see that Yuan Rangjun will be able to face the saint tomorrow, so I want you to give your emperor a little valuable advice!" ”

By this time the boat had rowed over, and James jumped on it first. Shen Yun followed. Because of the presence of the boatman, James did not talk about anything similar to what he had just said, but chatted with Shen Yun about the weather and scenery.

Now it became Shen Yun full of doubts. James's words just now were clearly pointed. But what does he mean exactly? What is the yellow scarf thing that is not far away, and the matter of people's livelihood is imminent? Does he want to tell himself that someone is going to rebel??

Shen Yun smiled.

Even if someone wants to rebel, what can I do with the Marquis of Bohai who has not even inherited the title? This James, it is ridiculous to say this to me. Besides, if I run to the emperor like this, will he listen? Just kidding, he is the emperor, I am a courtier, in this peaceful and prosperous era of "singing and dancing to promote peace, Haiqing Heyan", don't you think your head is too stable! What's more, I finally passed the "edict of succession" to make the emperor pay attention to me, and now to say that these are simply lights in the toilet --- looking for death......

However, then again, who is the "yellow scarf" who will bring disaster to the Han country?

Shen Yun thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't get the point. Say goodbye to James before the list. Shen Yunjing entered the Society. Seeing that the sacrificial wine had returned, he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, and explained his intention.

Chong Dao first covered his eyes and pretended to mourn the Marquis of Bohai, and then he and Shen Yun sat down, and said: "Yuan Rang, your approval of this sacrificial wine is approved, and I will give you a certificate later." As for the admonition, in fact, there is no need for the old man to say anything, and the other officials of the Ministry of Rites should be similar to what you said, right? ”

Shen Yun nodded, bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, in the past few days, the officials of the Ministry of Rites have asked Yuan Rang to perform a ceremony at home, and the general etiquette will not be wrong, but there are still some subtleties, and the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine needs to be warned!" ”

Chongdao closed his eyes and nodded, touched his beard and said, "In fact, the subtleties also need to be experienced before you can comprehend them one by one." The emperor's house is different from other places, always remember not to turn his back on the emperor, not to speak too aggressively, not to make noise, not to make noise, etc. In the end, without the permission of the emperor, you must not go to **, otherwise you will be considered to have the intention of assassinating the king, which is a big crime! ”

Shen Yun bowed his head respectfully: "Yes." ”

"Oh, when you see the driver in the palace, you can't answer 'yes', but answer 'yes'!"

"Wow. Remember, students! ”

Shen Yun knew that the title "喏" was actually the name that the people of the Han Dynasty had always called, and it had the same meaning as "yes". However, the word "yes" is too dry, so the softer "喏" is used.

However, after the reform of the Holy Ancestor, few people paid attention to these titles. Even the emperor himself didn't pay so much attention to it, but this kind of way didn't seem to be exhaustive, and he was still chattering to Shen Yun about this and that, and Shen Yun was about to die of irritability. In the end, Shen Yun couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to raise his hand to say goodbye, but that kind of Tao suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing you have to remember, if the emperor does not mention the order, you must not mention it." Don't even mention anything about mothers! ”

Shen Yun was stunned: "Why? ”

Chong Dao took a breath with some palpitations, waved his hand and said, "Just let you not mention it, can the old man still harm you?" ”

Shen Yun once again sang respectfully.

Saying goodbye, it was already night when Shen Yun returned to Beppu.

Because of the assassinations during this time, all the nobles came in and out with more servants than before. Shen Yun was no exception, Shen Wu arranged for more than a dozen people to protect Shen Yun day and night. However, Shen Yun felt that it was very uncomfortable for someone to follow, so he secretly threw them off and rode back alone.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gongfu Xiao standing in front of the servants who had been thrown off by him, and scolded: "A group of fools, in such an extraordinary season, do you know how many people want your family to have an accident?" If Yuanrang really has a long and short, I will pick you up alive! ”

I can't see that Gongfu is old, but his anger is not small. As a rite department, the public has been staying in Beppu day and night to manage everything. Shen Yun was also very respectful to him. However, the two tacitly did not mention anything about the assassination of the Marquis of Bohai.

Shen Yun knew that if Gongfu Xiao wanted him to know, he would tell him, and if he didn't want to say it, he would ask in vain.

But the public is suffering. He didn't know how to tell Shen Yun clearly for a while. In particular, Shen Yun was pardoned by the emperor's holy decree and allowed him to wear filial piety to enter the Xuande Palace......

"Oi Chengjun, there is no need to be so cautious! Didn't I come back in good time! Shen Yun walked in calmly.

Gongfu glared at the servants, then walked up quickly, grabbed Shen Yun and said, "Where have you been this day?" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Shen Yun said indifferently: "I went to the Imperial University, I will enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, and then I will return to my hometown, I need to get the approval and admonition of the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine!" That's what your Ministry of Rites told me! What's the matter, what is Oi Chengjun looking for me? ”

Gongfu Xiao pulled Shen Yun to a secluded and uninhabited corner and said, "Yuan Rang, I didn't want to talk to you in detail, but you are going to face the saint tomorrow, I still have to remind you, that is, you must not mention words like mother......

"Damn, that's the sentence again?!" Shen Yun shouted in his heart, "Into his mother, where did the word mother offend the emperor?" I don't know if fucking your mother counts......"

Shen Yun was also happy in the bitterness, just thinking about it, but he still couldn't help asking: "Oi Chengjun, tell me honestly, why?" I was told to plant sacrificial wine, but I really didn't understand! ”

Gongfu said: "That coward also said this to you? Hmph, it seems that he is not too unconscionable, and he still mentions something to you at the critical moment...... Alas, Qingquan didn't make the wrong friends after all! As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Yun and sighed: "Well, since you can be pardoned by Your Majesty personally, and you have made that kind of poisonous oath, sooner or later you will have to know." Come, come with me! ”

Gongfu Xiao took Shen Yun to a secluded living room in the backyard, and the two sat down separately, and then Gongfu Xiao slowly told him a secret that Shen Yun had never heard of.
