Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"I only found out today that the person who wrote to me when I was in Dali Temple was actually you!" Shen Yun looked at Zhou Hui with an incredible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Hui turned his head and said shyly at the corner of his mouth: "Then who do you think it is?" ”

"Hmm, I really thought it was Ruyue...... You know, I didn't know you could write poetry back then! ”

Zhou Hui's face changed, he frowned, and said, "Shen Yuanrang!" ”

"Hahaha, yes, that's right, that's how it should be." Shen Yun suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, "Princess Duanping of the Great Han should be this momentum, she always sits there delicately and weakly, smiling shyly and timidly, this style is really not suitable for you!" ”

Zhou Hui was angry, and couldn't stop stomping his feet and said angrily: "You, why are you angry with me as soon as you come back?" Instead of being teased by you, I should have kicked your leg off in the first place! ”

Shen Yun smiled and said: "But you didn't kick it off, otherwise I can live a happy life with this meal to open my mouth and stretch my hand, and then you can also serve me well, what do you say, lady?" ”

Thinking of the ridicule of that day, Zhou Hui blushed again, turned around and said, "Phew, who wants to be your lady, I'm really ashamed!" Lecher! ”

This is the ferry pavilion on the shore of Weiming Lake, with snowflakes in front of the pavilion, a thin layer of ice in the lake, and a few brightly colored fish swimming under the crystal clear ice.

Upstairs in Hongqing, the two didn't have time to talk at all. Zhuge Yun was very affectionate when he saw Shen Yun. Because Shen Yun was already a marquis, Ma Gu didn't dare to make things difficult for him anymore, but just smiled a few words lukewarmly.

This reception banquet is really boring. Because of the existence of Zhuge Yun and Ma Gu, even Fang Xuan, who had something to say to Shen Yun, wanted to say and stopped.

A few people hurriedly finished eating, and it was already dusk. There was snow in the sky, and the clouds were dense and depressing.

Everyone returned to the emperor, and when they parted, Ma Gu said that he wanted to send Zhou Hui, but Zhou Hui just didn't want it. Later, she was so powerful that she blew Ma Gu away. Then he gave Shen Yun a look. The trail is coming to Weiming Lake.

Zhou Hui was less than a moment in front of the ferry pavilion, and Shen Yun, who was wearing a plain white velvet coat, also arrived.

It's such a cold season, and it's still snowing, so no one comes here to play. Even the shops in front of the ferry booth were closed.

The original verdant colors of the lake are covered by white, and only a few touches of emerald green are occasionally revealed, with a fresh smell that can only be found in the cold winter.

It was the two of them who seemed to be the only ones left in heaven and earth. Shen Yun dared to laugh with Zhou Hui like this.

As the two of them were talking, the gloomy sky began to roll and rumble with thunder. There was no lightning, but the torrential rain suddenly poured down.

This sleet weather really came quickly. Shen Yun and Zhou Hui were laughing in front of the pavilion, and one was caught off guard, almost drenching into soup chicken. Fortunately, Shen Yun's eyes were quick and he dragged her to the center of the pavilion.

Winter rainstorms are always violent. And with strong winds. The rain and the wind blew, and the huge raindrops actually fell into the pavilion, even if they stopped in the center of the pavilion, the raindrops were still like butterflies touching the nectar, fluttering non-stop.

Shen Yun took Zhou Hui into his arms, flicked the coat on her body, wrapped her whole person, and said close to Zhou Hui's ear: "Take a look." This rain adores you for your beauty. Hit you hard! ”

The hot breath brushed against his cheeks, and Zhou Hui's heart was flushed with heat. The hazel head was close to Shen Yun's shoulder, and the jade arm under the coat had already wrapped around his waist and hugged him tightly.

That strength almost strangled Shen Yun to suffocation!

"Hey, I said Your Royal Highness, can you be lighter? Xiaosheng, who has thin arms and thin legs, can not bear the grinding of your old tree! Shen Yun said with a smile.

Zhou Hui's face was flushed, his eyes were closed, and he was not annoyed when he heard this, but he kept shaking his head, and said as if he was moaning...... If I could, I would hold you for the rest of my life...... The most beautiful thing is not the rainy day, but the eaves that have avoided the rain with you......"

This is a sentence written by Shen Yun to Yan Ruyue, and when Zhou Hui read it at the time, he didn't know how envious and jealous he was. But now, that mentality no longer exists.

I have this roof too!

Zhou Hui thought happily, and his little head rolled harder on Shen Yun's chest......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When I returned to the dormitory, it was already midday. Shen Yun was so cold that he almost had a river of snot, so he persuaded Zhou Hui, who was still unsatisfied, to return to the dormitory.

Of course, they didn't do anything beyond friendship in such cold weather—although he wanted to, but the hellish weather really didn't allow it!

However, this mouth is not less kissed, Zhou Hui's little girl is spicy in this aspect, Shen Yun feels that her lips are about to be gnawed by her, and I don't know if she intends to retaliate against Shen Yun's ridicule of her just now.

Despite this, Shen Yun was still sweet in his heart. After all, a woman is so dependent on herself, and the little vanity in a man's heart is still very satisfying. What's more, this woman is still a princess!

The only fly in the ointment is that there is no lip balm in this era, although Zhou Hui's skin is very slippery, and her red lips are even softer and lovely, but in winter, it is dry, and there is always a feeling of electric shock when the skin is in contact, and Shen Yun is a little unbearable for this. But Xiao Nizi seems to be happy with it, and I don't know if women are born with electric shocks......

"Yuan Rang, the way you smile really makes me suspicious!" In the dormitory, Fang Cheng carefully pondered Shen Yun's expression and said.

Shen Yunzheng took off his soaked coat and cotton boots, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you suspect?" ”

Fang Cheng walked around Shen Yun and suddenly said, "From the truth, are you having something to do with Princess Duanping?" ”

Shen Yun was stunned and smiled: "Am I really so obvious? ”

This time it was Fang Yun's turn to be stunned, he didn't expect Shen Yun to admit it so simply, and exclaimed: "No, you really ...... Princess Duanping?" ”

Shen Yun put his body down on the bed, stretched and smiled, "What can't be admitted about this?" Yes, I got my hands on Princess Duanping of the Great Han, how about it? Brother is amazing, right? ”

There was a stove in the room, so it was hot, but it wasn't cold at all. Shen Yun, who had been tossing for a day, was a little sleepy, and he felt a little drowsy after saying this.

Fang Cheng suddenly felt like he had been pricked by a needle, jumped up and said, "Yuan Rang, you can't be with Princess Duanping!" ”

Shen Yun forced his sleepiness and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fang Cheng rubbed his hands in a hurry, as if he had something full of things to say. But I don't know where to start.

Shen Yun saw that he had always been calm and composed. Suddenly mentioned in his heart, the previous sleepiness was also thrown aside, turned over and sat at the head of the bed, looked at Fang Cheng and said, "What's wrong?" By the way, you said in your letter that you have a big thing to tell me, and it's hard to talk about it in detail because there are so many people, so let's talk about it now?! But it has something to do with Princess Duanping? ”

Fang Cheng frowned and said, "Relevant." Nothing to do with it. Listen to me slowly. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Before Shen Yun left Luoyang, Fang Cheng was involved in his theft of 3.6 billion gold coins from the Imperial Bank. In the end, Fang Cheng also received a dividend of 200 million gold coins.

However, when Fang Cheng told his father Huainan Hou Fang Wei, who had entered Beijing to pay homage to the saint, he received not his father's approval, but the most severe reprimand.

"Nonsense! Stupidity!! Stupid and dull!! Fang Lian used three words to evaluate Shen Yun's behavior that was praised and hated by all parties this time.

Fang Cheng was puzzled, and he said to his father: "Your Majesty has praised this move, and it is supported by 1.8 billion gold coins. Your Majesty can calmly arrange, and then use this matter to meddle in the management of the Imperial Bank, so as to solve the household crisis in one fell swoop, not to mention that it can also be used to suppress the Hou Party line, isn't this a few in one fell swoop? How could my father say that this was a foolish and stupid move? ”

"Hmph, the opinion of the erector." Fang Wei still shouted loudly, "You only see that Your Majesty can use this matter to suppress the Hou Party, but have you ever thought that the competition between the two parties will be even more fierce because of this." Since ancient times, party strife has been a taboo in governing the country. Not to mention at this sensitive time!

Again. My Han just ate a slap from the Huns in northern Xinjiang, and your two elder brothers also unfortunately died on the battlefield. Nearly 10,000 fallen soldiers are waiting for the imperial court to be compensated, and 100,000 widows and orphans are waiting to be fed.

The situation of the household department is obvious to all, and this bereavement pension will have to be completed by the household department borrowing money from the bank. But the Imperial Bank can use this as a pretext to excuse itself.

Although His Majesty has obtained 1.8 billion gold coins, he can only use these money in the shadows, and it will be the orphans of these soldiers who have fought for the country at that time! ”

Fang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but Fang Wei waved his hand to stop him, and continued in a fierce voice: "What's more, this time the Xiongnu invaded the border, bypassed Beihai Prefecture, and directly attacked Hami Prefecture, Dayue Prefecture, and Xihai Prefecture. The people of the three states were already in extreme distress due to last year's drought.

There are natural disasters first, and then human disasters, and it is inevitable to rely on the imperial court for relief. Money is needed for relief, and the household department has no money, so it can only borrow from the bank. But as soon as this incident came out, the bank could not borrow ...... At that time, the three states will be starving all over the wilderness, and the tragic incidents of selling children and girls and changing children for food will appear one after another.

If there are lawbreakers who follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guangshi and rise up, the catastrophe of the country is not far away!

And the initiators of all this are these juniors who ignore the overall situation of the imperial court!! ”

After saying this, Fang Cheng was in a cold sweat and soaked his underwear.

And then things happened just as Fang Wei expected, and the dispute between the two parties in the court became more and more intense. Although the Imperials took advantage of this theft to reach into the Imperial Bank, it was not something that could be completely taken over in a short time. The latter party was also unwilling to hand over power, as evidenced by the fact that His Royal Highness Yinggong was recommended as the logistics officer of the Eastern Crusade. As for the series of open and secret battles behind the scenes, although the treacherous Fang Transcription cannot be known one by one, it can also be imagined.

Now that the New Year is approaching, at the beginning of spring next year, if the imperial party cannot completely control the Imperial Bank, then what Huainan Hou said is probably about to come true. If the people of Hami, Dayue, and Xihai really rebelled because the imperial court could not provide relief money and food, it would undoubtedly make the current situation of the empire worse!

Every time he thought of this, Fang Cheng couldn't eat or sleep at night, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to Shen Yun, urging him to come back just for this matter.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Shen Yun was also in a cold sweat when he heard this.

His theft of the Imperial Bank was just a whim at that time, and the time and place were all right, how could he solve the hatred in his heart if he didn't make this vote? But where could such a thing, which seemed to him be leaky, cause such a big trouble?!

However, Shen Yun had experienced so much after all, although he was a little anxious, he was still calm, and he said: "This, Your Majesty is a wise and martial artist, and he is a rare Saint Monarch, he should be able to think of these, right?!" ”

Fang Cheng said: "Actually, when my father visited the saint this time, he also mentioned this matter to His Majesty. ”

Shen Yun was overjoyed and said, "Wouldn't that be good?" Your Majesty is prepared, then you are not afraid! ”

Fang Cheng shook his head: "Yuan Rang, things are not as simple as you think. My father came back to me and told me that although he had mentioned it to His Majesty, His Majesty did not seem to pay much attention to it. At this moment, it is the right thing to grasp the supreme power, and everything else can be discarded! My father also said, and said......"

"What else?" Shen Yun couldn't help but wonder when he saw him spitting and spitting.

Fang Cheng glanced at him worriedly, gritted his teeth and said, "My father also said that maybe His Majesty is trying to let the people of Sanzhou rebel......

"What?" Shen Yun jumped up, hit his head on the top bunk, and grinned in pain.

And the emperor wants to see the people under his rule rebel? This is a big mistake. Even if Shen Yun has not read the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, at least he knows the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, he has never seen an emperor who would expect his people to rebel. Even tyrants like Qin II and Emperor Yang of Sui were sending troops everywhere to extinguish the peasant uprising, and this Han emperor actually wanted the people to rebel? This Huainan Hou, didn't he just die of his son, and he lost his mind?

Fang Cheng looked at Shen Yun and sighed, "At first, I thought that my father's words were wrong, but he told me that this possibility is very high.

Because first of all, the Liang Gong family is in Liangzhou in the northwest, and if the three states rebel, the first person to be requisitioned must be Liang Gong. You must know that the latter party relies on Liang Gong, Ying Gong, Zhi Gong and others.

Secondly, once the rebellion starts, His Majesty will be able to take over the power of the world, and even if Ying Gong and Zhi Gong are dissatisfied, they must not go against the will of the people. At that time, even if the imperial party could not seize the military power of the British duke, it could still restrict the behavior of the British duke. It doesn't take much, with a paper order from His Majesty, Ying Gong must lead his troops to Sanzhou and stay away from here.

Moreover, the land of Bashu guarded by Zhigong can also be transferred on a large scale because of this matter, and Zhigong cannot be dissatisfied with this.

It can be said that the rebellion in the three states together is beneficial to the imperial party and not harmful. After that, the party will be constrained everywhere, and there is nowhere to be powerful. That's a big deal! ”

For some reason, Shen Yun suddenly remembered Qingchuan County, Bohai Prefecture, and Fusang Prefecture, which was still in the midst of war......

"War is chaotic, and in the end, it is the people who suffer!" Shen Yun said quietly.

Fang Cheng also sighed: "Alas, yes! Regardless of whether the imperial party or the later party, in the end, the suffering of the war still has to be borne by the people. ”

"What about military spending? Fighting a war requires military spending! Shen Yun's words actually carried a hint of exhaustion, "The counterinsurgency war requires the use of a large army, 1.8 billion gold coins, not even a legion." ”

Fang Cheng smiled bitterly: "My father said that if a rebellion breaks out, Your Majesty can issue a red purge order, and anyone who is identified as a traitor by the front-line soldiers can be killed, and sixty percent of the property obtained will go to the empire, and forty percent will go to the individual." ”

"Fight for war!" Shen Yun gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, it's the war that feeds the war! This is how the Holy Ancestor ensured the logistics of the army during his expedition to the west! It's just that it was a foreign war at that time, and if there was a counterinsurgency war, it would be a knife to one's own people......"

Fang Cheng suddenly patted Shen Yun on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Rang, no matter whether this rebellion will rise or not, you and I will be sinners through the ages. Moreover, my father also said that there is no impermeable wall in this world, and I am afraid that what we have done will have been known by the Queen Mother long ago, that is to say, we have been burdened with the imprint of the imperial party, and the Queen Mother will never let us go! Princess Duanping is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother...... Now you know why I said you can't be with her, right? ”

Shen Yun fell heavily on the bed, his eyes were sleepy, he just looked up in a daze, and muttered: "Sinners through the ages, sinners through the ages, sinners through the ages, sinners through the ages, sinners ...... through the ages" (to be continued. )
