Chapter 519: The Wind Blows Cold

The spring rain gently hit the roof tiles, making a pleasant sound. The pen is fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info as if there are elves beating on the roof tiles and singing to their heart's content.

"Your Majesty is on the streets again." Wen Tianxiang walked into the room and carefully closed the door, also insulating the wind and rain. The heat of the stove in the room dispels the chill that has not yet dissipated from the outside.

Ye Yingwu obviously did not intend to hide it from the hundreds of officials in the court, because His Majesty the Emperor walked out of the side gate outside the Wuying Hall with a swagger, and even walked around in front of the six yamen. If it weren't for the officials of the six ministries to rest today, I'm afraid the entire court would know that His Majesty was going out tomorrow.

There was no one else in the room except for Wen Tianxiang's wife, Ou Shi. Seeing his husband come in, Ou Shi put down the scroll in his hand, lit a few candles by the bed, and then slowly stepped forward to untie his robe for him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is young, and it is normal to go to the street, is it possible that the husband is still planning to take hundreds of civil and military officials to the street to persuade His Majesty to return to the palace?" ”

"It's not as easy as you think." Wen Tianxiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and took a cup of hot tea that Ou Shi poured for him, "Your Majesty is a person who has seen great winds and waves, and every step out must have his reasons." ”

Ou Shi smiled and straightened Wen Tianxiang's somewhat messy clothes: "Judging from the concubine's body, why do you think about Your Majesty so complicated." In the final analysis, officials are also human beings, and they also have their own seven emotions and six desires, as well as their own things to do and people they like no matter what the price is. In life, you will always do things that you want and others can't understand. Whatever to do so much. ”

After a pause, looking at Wen Tianxiang, who was a little surprised, Ou Shi shook his head: "Don't forget, a few years ago, the official family was still in the wandering Ya Lane of Lin'an 36 Flower Street. In the past few years, it has been full of ups and downs, flesh and blood, and occasional debauchery, which is also human nature. ”

Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but show a smile, took a sip of tea gently, the tired look on his face dissipated a lot, and put down the teacup: "Yes, whatever Your Majesty does, just follow him." Anyway, a certain person has a clear conscience and has not done anything wrong, and even if His Majesty has a plan, it will not fall on a certain head. ”

"You're gloating, aren't you?" O's glanced at him.

"It's okay to gloat, or to leave it alone, today I finally finished tomorrow's recital in advance, and I can rest earlier. Lady, shall we sleep peacefully? Wen Tianxiang blinked, and while looking at Ou Shi narrowly, he reached out to untie his belt.

Ou Shi subconsciously took a step back and took a sip: "The monarchs and ministers are not serious. ”

"It's all old husbands and wives, what else is there to be serious!" Wen Tianxiang directly blew out the candle.

The last rays of light dissipated, and the thin and dense rains were still beating on the eaves and the steps in front of the court.

——————————————————-

A painting boat is parked on the edge of the Qinhuai River.

There are many painting boats on the Qinhuai River, not all of them are the same, and there are also three, six, nine and so on. The more advanced painting boat, in fact, is a special place prepared for guests by which big green building on the street, looking for a good guest is tired of pushing the cup in the green building, you can go directly to the dock behind the green building to sit on the painting boat to visit the boundless wind and moon of the Qinhuai River. And ten miles of Qinhuai, the most indispensable thing is gold, silver and wind and moon, so even if it is a painting boat formed alone, there are quite a lot of favored by literati and ink writers, after all, many of the old bustards of these painting boats are the top Oiran when they were young, and the and charms still exist, not to mention, the girls they selected with their tricky eyes are naturally first-class.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to mention all proficient, with a smile and a smile, all have fascinating points.

Especially before Lin'an was burned by a fire, although the Willow Lane of the 36 Flower Street by the West Lake was not engulfed by the fire, but because those high-ranking officials and nobles all disappeared with the fall of the former Song Dynasty, many Qinglou bustards came to this Shili Qinhuai to regroup, which also invisibly further promoted the prosperity of Shili Qinhuai.

And in the final analysis, this credit seems to be good on Ye Yingwu's head. It makes some sense to say that Ye Yingwu is the promoter and even the creator of today's scene in Qinhuai in these ten miles. Moreover, Ye Yingwu's immortal tablet is available in almost every household in Nanjing, so the Qinglou Chu Pavilion has a portrait of this "great benefactor" to add some incense to him, and Ye Yingwu will turn a blind eye.

The soot women on the street held oil-paper umbrellas in their hands, and the golden steps they held their hair made a crisp sound with the gentle movement of their footsteps. The bluestone streets, the hazy night, the beautiful women walking around, Ye Yingwu stood on the dock and looked at the scene behind him, and he was already fascinated.

Counting that he has been crawling in the blood and fire and sitting upright in the palace, he has been unconsciously three or four years, and the scene that he was once familiar with when he was young now seems so strange that Ye Yingwu suspects that this is just a void dream.

Suddenly, Ye Yingwu seemed to have returned to Lin'an five years ago, that early morning. It is also the spring rain of apricot blossoms, and it is also the wind blowing willows. The water sleeves danced, the singing was pleasant, and the white-clothed women's dresses falling from the sky were flying, like a blooming hollow valley orchid. The veil that covered the face gently rose and fell with the breeze, and where the water sleeves waved, it seemed that even the spring rain had dissipated without a trace. The woman in white jumped down from the second floor, fluttered her water sleeves twice, and floated to both sides at once, causing the seekers on both sides of the platform to snatch like crazy, and on the second floor belonging to the grandstand of dignitaries, large and small gold, silver and copper coins were thrown on the plates handed by the turtle gong, clanging.

Large beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

At that time, Ye Yingwu sat in the stands on the second floor with Jiang Hao and Wang Jin, who were fox friends, staring blankly at the figure under the stage, and even forgot to throw the coins in his hands into the plate.

Maybe Ye Yingwu didn't know at that time that the woman in the audience who was drunk with singing and dancing fans in Lin'an was officially the Oiran of Lin'an's drunken spring breeze after that. At that time, Ye Yingwu didn't know that his future had actually quietly turned around at this moment.

Even the whole era is quietly turning.

Ye Yingwu savored the scene in his memory, the body and these memories at that time did not belong to him, but perhaps because this scene was unforgettable, so even if he changed the owner, Ye Yingwu still couldn't help but recall it when he saw the scene of Qinhuai in front of him.

It's been five years before I know it.

In the past five years, the rolling red dust has passed, and the world has been turned upside down.

"Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are played." Ye Yingwu muttered. Suddenly, Ye Yingwu remembered the brothers of the Lu family who had made enemies with him at that time, those two guys fled after Lu Shimeng's death, but even so, the six doors still didn't intend to let them go. Ma Tingyou personally led the team to arrest the two of them and execute them directly. finally settled all the grievances with the Lu family at that time. Ye Yingwu's revenge of being forced to leave Lin'an was finally written off.

Thinking about it now, Ye Yingwu didn't know whether he should say that he was impulsive, or that it was better for a newborn calf not to be afraid of tigers. If it weren't for Jia Rudao's attention at that time, he wouldn't have died miserably, right?

Hui Niang stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Ye Yingwu: "Husband, what are you looking at?" ”

Ye Yingwu came back to his senses all of a sudden, looked at Xiao Yangzi next to him and they all looked like they were all waiting for the battle, and immediately waved his hand: "It's nothing, Xiao Yangzi, Wu Chucai, you don't have to be like a big enemy." So-and-so just remembered some things from the past. ”

Hui Niang blinked, and vaguely understood: "Is the husband thinking about the romance in Lin'an?" You must know that the husband is famous in Willow Lane, Thirty-six Flower Street, Lin'an! It is said that as soon as the husband appears, the entire street will disappear completely, and the world will give Ya the name 'Clean Street Tiger'! ”

"You know a lot." Ye Yingwu sneered, leaned over and threatened, "Who told you that?" A certain person has to go back and serve in a good family law. ”

Hui Niang snorted: "I won't tell you that it was Sister Su Niang who said it!" ”

Gesang next to him burst out laughing, and Ye Yingwu reached out and rubbed Hui Niang's head a little helplessly: "You just sold your sister Su Niang without hesitation?" Don't think that this can prevaricate the past, your sister has just given birth to a child, so no one will punish her. It's better to put away your little abacus quickly. ”

Hui Niang pinched her waist and said seriously: "Tell you that you don't believe it, then how can you blame me." ”

"Now, Qin'er really says everything, and she can't control it anymore." Ye Yingwu rolled his eyes.

"How do you know it's Sister Qin'er who said it?" Hui Niang was taken aback.

Ye Yingwu pinched her little face: "The only people in the harem who know these glorious histories are those who have been in Lin'an, after all, no matter how loud the name is, it is impossible to stand up to the wind and smell for ten miles, and the entire Jiangnan is familiar with it." Counting it, only your sister Qin'er, Sister Su Niang and Sister Shu'er in the harem are Lin'an people, and Su Niang just let you deny yourself, Shu'er has never been out of the deep palace since she was a child, so it is impossible to know, only Qin'er is left. ”

Hui Niang opened her mouth, but she could only shrug her shoulders helplessly following Ye Yingwu's appearance.

But Ye Yingwu didn't want to accuse her of lying, straightened his waist and looked at Qin Huai in the smoke and rain, and said with a smile: "Actually, you just said it wrong, at that time, there was not only one Jingjie Tiger in Willow Lane, Thirty-six Flower Street, Lin'an. ”

Before the words fell, a figure had already walked down from the painting boat and greeted Ye Yingwu: "The minister sees the official family." ”

Ye Yingwu stepped forward and helped him up with a smile.

The young man didn't look anything special, and even the clothes he was wearing were ordinary. However, Wu Chucai, Xiao Yangzi and others present all subconsciously took a step back.

Standing in front of Ye Yingwu was Zhang Cheng, a guy who was also the most important among the Lin'an Jing Street Tigers at that time, and later the commander of the right wing of the Tianwu Army, who could be said to be the original founder of the current town navy. It's just that because he turned into a leader of the brocade guard, he gradually hid his figure from the front line.

In the face of the future Northern Expedition, the six gates of the Ming Dynasty and the center of the Jinyi Guard can be said to have been dispatched. Guo Chang is in the Northeast, Ma Tingyou is in the Western Regions, and even the old commander Yang who single-handedly founded the Six Gates and Jinyiwei is personally in Hexi, so the first few commanders of the entire Six Gates and Jinyiwei are left with Zhang Cheng alone.

Because Zhang Cheng's father Zhang Jian is still the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of the indispensable department of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the seniority of the elders of the three dynasties of Zhang Jian, the government and the opposition like to call him "Zhang Lao Xianggong", and the corresponding Zhang Cheng can only add a "small" word in front of his own title, and is called "Zhang Xiaoxianggong" by the officials.

Zhang Jian is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is very old, so it stands to reason that he should be able to pay tribute. The main purpose of Ye Yingwu's insistence on letting the old man stay in office was to be able to use the power of the old man to bring Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang with him. After all, these two people are craftsmen and scholars, although they can be called unique in the world in terms of craftsman skills, but in the final analysis, the Ministry of Industry still needs officials, if the two of them have no experience rashly take charge of the Ministry of Industry, it is likely to cause chaos, so in desperation, Ye Yingwu can only ask Zhang Jian to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, in order to train Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang as the successors of the Ministry of Industry.

Regarding Ye Yingwu's request, Zhang Jian did not refuse, and even did not raise any objection to the announcement of the above-mentioned official position. This old man, who was actually the last official prime minister in history, still did what he should do in the position of Shangshu. With Zhangjian's sitting, the Ministry of Industry soon developed into a department with outstanding achievements in the Ming Dynasty, because the Ministry of Industry developed a large number of guns and artillery in a large number of applications, the Ming Dynasty was able to gain a firm foothold in the previous winter counterattack, and took the opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack, directly recovering Heluo, Shandong, and once again broke the Mongol army in Guanzhong.

Zhang Jian has always been accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves in the government and the opposition, and it is precisely because of his character that Guo Shoujing and Chen Yuanliang of the Ministry of Industry can let go of their hands and feet. If they do it right, His Majesty will naturally reward them, and if they do it wrong, there will still be Zhang Lao Xianggong on this day. Therefore, although Zhang Jian didn't do much, he was one of the most admired people in the entire Ministry of Industry and even the imperial court.

And Zhang Cheng's image in the court and the opposition seems to be different from his father, after all, the six doors he is in charge of are mainly secretive. Therefore, Zhang Cheng was labeled as "mysterious and secretive", "vigorous and resolute", etc., and even many officials who were promoted later had never seen this great commander of the six doors at all. What's more, the main task of the six doors is to secretly monitor the civil and military officials, so naturally there is no good impression on the hundred officials.

In addition, the six doors have never shown mercy in cooperating with the Yushitai to sweep away corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even if they begged for mercy and sent it directly to Ye Yingwu's desk, Zhang Cheng never frowned, and arrested people first. Anyway, if the Imperial Observatory has determined your crime, there is more or less a reason for it, so catch the good guy.

Because of the vigorous cooperation of the six doors under the command of Zhang Cheng, although Yushitai did not make a few big moves, each time it was enough to make the entire officialdom tremble. Now Chen Yizhong, who has actually replaced Wang Yao, the supervising imperial history of the imperial history, is also nicknamed "black and white impermanence" together with Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Jian's kindness and steadiness and Zhang Cheng's resolute and resolute behavior made people praise Zhang Lao Xianggong again and again, and they all shivered together when they mentioned Zhang Xiaoxianggong. This has also formed a peculiar scenery up and down the government and the opposition.

But only Ye Yingwu understood that in fact, Zhang Cheng's character was inherited from his father. In another time and space, Zhang Jian is also the existence of slapping the table with Jia Yidao. It's just that now that Ye Yingwu kicked Jia Yidao off the stage early, he didn't give Zhang Jian this opportunity at all. The old man saw that his long-awaited peaceful and prosperous era and the victory of the Northern Expedition were about to be realized, so naturally there was nothing to advise directly, and it was enough to help the town in ordinary times.

"I haven't seen it for half a month, and the official family has lost some weight." Zhang Cheng smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Before I knew it, it had been another half a month." Ye Yingwu nodded. Originally, it was Yang Feng and Ma Tingyou who stayed in Beijing, but because of the war in Hexi and the Western Regions, Zhang Cheng had to be transferred back from Nanyang. Otherwise, I am afraid that we will not see each other for months.

Looking at the unchanged smile on Zhang Cheng's face, Ye Yingwu's heart also had a trace of waves. I don't know if I feel that these Lin'anjing Street Tigers have been separated from each other, and they have their own careers and responsibilities in this new dynasty.

The heavy responsibility of the family and the country falls on the shoulders of these young people, and everyone is doing their best to be more perfect.

"I heard there's another child this spring?" Ye Yingwu patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, and directly pulled up the homely thing under the somewhat surprised gazes of the people around him.

Zhang Cheng was not stunned, and hummed: "In early spring, it was a daughter. ”

"I had an extra son a few days ago, maybe I can get married." Ye Yingwu blinked.

Zhang Cheng was stunned, there was not much gratitude on his face, but a kind of long-lost friend's warmth, facing Ye Yingwu's gaze, facing the ninety-five lord who supported the Ming sky with one hand, nodded solemnly, and said with a smile: "Okay!" (To be continued.) )
