The palace chatted until late at night, and Liu Sheng sat in the carriage and returned to the mansion, driving halfway to open the curtains. Seeing the dark night, he chatted to Cao Gao on the side: "Thank you father-in-law for sending me tonight."

"Sir is polite, this is our family's business. At this time, it was winter, and the nights were cold. Please also lower the curtains so that you don't catch a cold." Cao Gao looked out of the car, and a chill drifted in through the curtains.

Hearing this, Liu Sheng lowered the curtain and looked at Cao Gao: "The cold wind is biting, it can refresh your mind, and it is also a good enjoyment." I heard that my father-in-law and Brother Li Miao have an old relationship, but I don't know if it's true."

"I'm ashamed that our family and Li Miao are fellow villagers, and there is naturally a bit of incense in this court. He is also unlucky, if it weren't for Mr. by chance, I'm afraid that Ren Ran would still be in the midst of a downfall." Cao Gao remembered that Li Miao's official fortunes for most of his life were not tight, and he sighed.

Liu Sheng looked at Cao Gao, who was emotional, and was stunned. The eunuchs are on top of the history books, and their deeds are full of bad deeds. But the one in front of him, how does he not feel like it: "I didn't expect my father-in-law to be a person with affection and righteousness." Brother Li can have today, not because of me, but because his father-in-law is supporting him in the back. Otherwise, where would he be, today's scenery".

"Thank you, sir, for your love, our family's face. How much weight, we know. He can sit on the throne of Shangshu, which is not something that our family can do. It is taboo to say that eunuchs interfere in politics, even if the official family cares about the past and cherishes us. But the prime minister doesn't have so many scruples, and if he gives an order, I will be crushed." Cao Gao said as he spoke, and hurriedly became modest. This dynasty treats literati preferentially, which has never been seen in eternity. As far as government affairs are concerned, the authority of civil officials is incredible, not to mention the prime minister who is the head of civil officials. The founding ancestor said that in order to prevent eunuchs from taking power, the prime minister has the right to participate in the promotion, appointment and dismissal of eunuchs in the palace. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the eunuchs were afraid of the prime minister like a tiger.

Liu Sheng thought about it and asked a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "At the beginning, I didn't understand why Brother Li had the support of his father-in-law behind him, but he was still suppressed."

"The first emperor reigned for only one year, and before our family, he was just an ordinary eunuch in the East Palace. What ability can help him Li Miao. At the beginning of this year, the emperor ascended the throne, and the civil officials beat the old slave, so Li Miao naturally became a sacrifice. If not, why would they bother? Embarrassed one, Rite Department Langzhong". After Cao Gao finished speaking, his face was full of bitterness, and he looked through the history books, and these eunuchs were the most pitiful group of people. Don't dare to ask for any ********extravagance, show off your might. Just hope that under the eyes of these literati, you can get a good death, and that is the best result.

After listening to Cao Gao's words, Liu Sheng remembered the scene when he met Li Miao for the first time that day: "The most wonderful thing about life is the unpredictability of the future. Things haven't happened yet, anything is possible".

"Who said no, if it weren't for the words of the gentleman. How could Li Miao let go of the burden in his heart and share the worries of the emperor. How could it be after that, into the eyes of His Majesty. This pile of piles, or Mr., if there is no plan. I'm afraid that he has already become notorious and will return to his hometown. Not to mention at this time, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." Cao Gao admired Liu Sheng and thought of these things. It is undeniable that he changed the trajectory of Li Miao's life. Although he is not in the court and has no roots, he has a huge influence. I have to admit that some people are born to be the darlings of God. His Majesty called him the Prime Minister of Buyi, and he did not deserve his name.

Liu Sheng saw Cao Gao's face with admiration, and became modest: "Actually, all this is just providence, and it is just a cloth cloth under it, and it does not have such great power to change the trajectory of Brother Li's life." Father-in-law, it's too much."

"Providence or heart. Mr. Gong, Li Miao has to admit. It was on that day that his life took a turn for the better." Cao Gao saw that Liu Sheng was modest, and hurriedly affirmed.

Liu Sheng was not in a hurry to answer, but just opened the curtains in the carriage. A cold wind blew on the face, a trace of coolness, which shocked people's spirits. The streets ahead are brightly lit and crowded. A figure carrying a wine jar, walking and staggering, couldn't help but be surprised: "Father-in-law, please stop."

"Sir, there is still a long way to go from your mansion, why? ……“。 Cao Gao heard the word parking and asked Liu Sheng the reason in surprise.

Liu Sheng looked at Cao Gao and found a reason to explain in his heart: "I want to go alone and walk this journey."

"I'm just afraid that if there are bad people who are not good for Mr., or our family will accompany Mr. for a walk." Cao Gao thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, it was late at night.

Liu Sheng did not think twice and directly rejected Cao Gao's kindness. If he is not mistaken, I am afraid that it is Yelujing. With Cao Gao, I am afraid, there is a lot of inconvenience: "Isn't my father-in-law still worried about this Luoyang, the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"

"That's our family's gaffe, sir, please, if you have anything else, you can find the officers and soldiers patrolling the city." Cao Gao felt that Liu Sheng's words were reasonable, and directly ordered the coachman to stop the carriage. When the coachman heard this, he quickly pulled the reins, and the horses neighed and stopped. Cao Gao accompanied Liu Sheng and stepped out of the carriage.

Liu Sheng saluted Cao Gao and said goodbye: "Thank you father-in-law for sending me."

"Sir is polite, now that I have returned halfway, our family is ashamed. Walking late at night, please be careful." Cao Gao looked at Liu Sheng and carefully advised. Seeing Liu Sheng nodding, he didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the carriage.

The coachman turned the carriage and galloped towards the palace. Not far away, Yelujing swayed, his face was full of bitterness, and he was stunned when he saw Liu Sheng walking towards him, and he felt as if he was in a dream.

Liu Sheng was unceremonious and took a jar of wine from Ye Lujing's hand. Feeling the cold wind in the sky, he opened the wine jar and smelled the aroma of wine: "Yelujing is unharmed, I can't imagine that you still have such Yaxing."

"I didn't expect that you Liu Sheng would also be unkind at times." Yelujing was stunned at first, but after seeing Liu Sheng's actions, he smiled bitterly.

Liu Sheng deliberately pretended to be surprised, and looked at Ye Lujing seriously: "It seems that you are not happy?"

"How dare you, it's an honor." Yelujing hurriedly smiled and motioned for him to drink.

Liu Sheng looked at the night sky and didn't drink the wine: "On this cold day, looking at the night sky, it's not bad to drink." When you returned to the embassy, those people didn't embarrass you."

"Coincidentally, it was less than a day after I went back. The people from the Ministry of Rites arranged a separate place for me to live. Just because of this, the guards are noisy and shouting. There was also a stir, not a big or small turmoil. If it weren't for your country, the Ministry of Rites would have come forward, and I don't know what kind of trouble it would have caused." Yelujing also sighed when he remembered what happened after that day. Sometimes, life is really wonderful.

Liu Sheng looked at Ye Lujing and smiled, and pointed to the wine in his hand: "Then why are you getting drunk late at night?"

"You don't ask me to forget, how did you find me". Yelujing did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

Liu Sheng saw the puzzled Yelujing, and explained with a smile: "Someone just sent me back to the house in a carriage, and on the way, I accidentally saw you."

"In this way, we are also destined to arrive." When Yelujing heard this, he sighed that the fate of the world is really unpredictable.

Liu Sheng re-put the wine jar in his hand and returned it to Ye Lujing: "Since there is fate, this jar of wine will be rewarded to you."

"It's just me or not." Ye Lujing took the wine jar and looked at Liu Sheng angrily.

Liu Sheng smiled and pointed to the front and looked at Ye Lujing: "At this time, the sky is beautiful, let us meet late at night." I don't know if you're interested, take a walk with me and chat."
