Chapter Ninety-Three: Leaving the Palace in Plain Clothes (Second Watch)
"This ...... Not quite right? Zhu Yijun was a little moved, and a little hesitant, he lived so much, he just tossed in the imperial city, occasionally went to Tianshou Mountain to worship his ancestors, and stayed for two more days, which caused the civil officials in the outer court to make noise, as if as long as he left the imperial city, he would be heinous.
He is not afraid of those civil officials, but every time those civil officials accuse him, he must be Confucian and Meng, and his pen must be his ancestors, and his lofty tone really bores him.
But after all, he is only a young man in his early twenties, and his yearning for the world of flowers and flowers is greater than that of ordinary people. "Visiting the Qinglou at night", he doesn't have to do anything, just these four words themselves bring him endless temptation, and what he lacks is that someone pushes him behind him to help him make up his mind.
This person is naturally Chen Mo, he knows Zhu Yijun too well, he was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "What's wrong?" Long live the whole world, not just go wherever you want? ”
"That's right, the whole world is mine, I'm just going out of the imperial city to visit!" Zhu Yijun nodded, and then changed the conversation: "But those civil officials are also smart in every ear, and I am really afraid that he will ...... every time."
It has always been rare for emperors to be so afraid of ministers in the Ming Dynasty. Chen Mo has always thought that after Zhang Juzheng, the civil official group lacked a strong and powerful strongman, and when later generations read history, he once sighed that the situation at that time actually roughly met the conditions for constitutional monarchical reform, but the civil official group was busy forming gangs, internal friction intensified, and natural and man-made disasters gave the Manchu Qing an opportunity. It also lost the last chance to rise, otherwise, history would definitely be a different scene.
In fact, those civil officials cannot be blamed entirely. The Chinese have always paid attention to the fact that the outside must first be safe, coupled with the huge Ming Empire, the chaos in Liaodong is really a disease of scabies. This point, after he crossed over, experienced it more profoundly. If it weren't for the painful lessons of later generations to remind him, he really couldn't believe it. Such a huge empire will eventually be replaced by the Nuer 0 Ha 0 Chi in Liaodong, who has not even inherited the position of his father and ancestor.
Thinking a little far, Chen Mo retracted his thoughts. took out the rhetoric that had been prepared a long time ago: "Those civil officials are really annoying sometimes, but if you really want to go, it's not impossible." ”
"Oh. Tell me about it? ”
"It's easy to put it bluntly. It's nothing more than dressing up, as long as you can put down the shelf......"
"What's down the shelf?" Zhu Yijun asked in surprise, quickly woke up and understood what Chen Mo meant: "You mean, let me dress up as your entourage?" After a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but smile: "It's wonderful, I've grown so big, I've never played like this!" ”
The two agreed on a time. After making an appointment to meet at Chen's Mansion after dinner, Zhu Yijun said, "I have to arrange more errands for your stepfather in the evening." That man is clever and very loyal, just the same, he does not smile all day long, and he speaks the words of saints at every turn, but he is compared with those people in the outer court. ”
After saying that, he smiled, looked at the sky and saw that it was not early, stopped his steps and said: "Don't go, look at the sun is probably not the end of the Shen Chu time, I have to go back to the palace to see the folds for a while, you can go back too, prepare early." ”
"Yes!" Chen Mo promised to say goodbye to Zhu Yijun, and did not return to Chen's mansion, but first went to Ciqing Palace to greet Empress Dowager Li. However, he didn't see Siqi, and he just slept with the princess, and he was always a little weak in the face of the "mother-in-law", not as natural as before, so after talking about his recent experience, regardless of the embarrassment between Empress Dowager Li and Chun Tao, he immediately submitted his farewell.
"You've been suffering again these days," Chun Tao sent Chen Mo out, and said as she walked: "If my sister knows, I don't know what to feel distressed about." ”
"Will she feel distressed?" Chen Mo asked himself, and then thought of Caiyu who was sent by himself to Yuexian Tower to hide temporarily, his expression darkened, and he secretly thought: "It's really messy and messy, Qi'er's side hasn't landed yet, so there is a princess in a daze, even if it is legal for men to have multiple wives and concubines now, but one is a princess, and the other is Siqi, who has a stubborn personality, how to let the two get along well?" "It's big for a while, and I secretly think that it's okay if I can't see Siqi, I really want to see her, and I really don't know how to face her.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Ah, nothing." Chen Mo came to his senses, shook his head, and said secretly: "What's the matter, it's only right to solve Caiyu's worries first, as for the future, let it be!" As soon as his heart was relieved, Fang remembered the words of Shicai Chuntao, turned his head to look at her, and saw that his pretty eyes were also peeking at himself, and he was a little flustered when he avoided it, and couldn't help but sigh again: If you don't succeed in being a person in the future, I wish all the beauties in the world were rare to you. Now it's okay, the beauties around me are like clouds, and all of them are so interesting, it is said that they should be happy, why is it so stressful? Could it be that Lao Tzu didn't enjoy the life of Yanfu?
"The blessings of Qi people are not enjoyable!" sighed in his heart, suddenly saw the sunset, and suddenly came back to his senses: "Don't tell Siqi what we told you and Niangniang, she is worried." It's not early, don't send it, it's almost to Ciqing Gate, go back quickly. ”
Chun Tao's expression darkened, stopped his steps, and said with a strong smile: "Then you slow down," and said again: "How long will you stay in Beijing this time, and will you still come to Ciqing Palace?" ”
"I can't tell," Chen Mo was in a hurry to go home, not wanting to entangle anymore, but he couldn't bear Chun Tao's pitiful appearance, and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, before leaving, why don't we come to say goodbye to you...... No, we still have something to do, so we really have to leave quickly. You hurry back, obedient, good! ”
The last sentence is very effective, especially the word "good", which makes Chun Tao's heart beat sharply, her pretty face is red, she is afraid that Chen Mo will see her embarrassment, so she hurriedly bows her head and turns around, and when she calms down, she turns back again, Chen Mo has gone far away, and she can't help but sigh abruptly, and she was stunned for a long time, until she couldn't see Chen Mo's back in the twilight, and then slowly walked back.
After dinner, Zhu Yijun really entered the Chen Mansion through the back door, and only Zhao Zhenyu was brought behind him. Chen Mo was busy handing the clothes that had been prepared to the two of them, jokingly waiting for Zhu Yijun to change his clothes, and when Zhao Zhenyu was also dressed, he led the horse from the stable, and told everyone in the house not to leak the news, but still went out the back door, followed the moat south, and went straight to Dong'anmen.
Chen Mo has the waist card of Dongchang, it is very convenient to enter and exit, the three of them passed the city gate smoothly, and they should go to Goolan Hutong, which should be to the south, but he hit Dong'anmen Street immediately.
"Master, are you on the wrong track?" Zhao Zhenyu had already entered the identity and couldn't help but ask.
"Can't be wrong, the road here is wide and there are few people, you two just follow us!" Chen Mo replied, did not look back, and looked at the blurred building on the opposite side of the street, which was the area of the famous Wangfujing Commercial Street in later generations, and now, it has another name - Ten Wangfu!
