As the years go, the more precipitated the man becomes, the years take back the man's youthful flying, and at the same time give him stability and open-mindedness.

Qin Kan and Tang Yin didn't even have a place to stay with each other at the beginning, like travelers, like wanderers, they seemed to be chic and unconnected, but when they woke up and walked out of the door every day, what they saw were unfamiliar faces in the inn, living under the same roof, no one had anything to do with anyone, drifting with the flow like duckweed.

Ten years, everyone walked out of the inn in Shaoxing City, each running around in the world, now Qin Kan is a powerful minister under one person in this huge country, and Tang Yin, a merry and talented man, has also become a monument to the countless tribute students of Guozijian.

The status is high, the mood has changed, but fortunately, the friendship between men is still the same as it was back then, simple and deep.

Tang Yin felt that he was making a cheap, and no one applauded him for committing this kind of cheapness, so he also changed his attitude, and men had to be kind to themselves.

So Tang Yin was no longer a subordinate official, and became Qin Kan's friend, and friends don't have to be too polite to each other, otherwise they will be beaten to death by the guards of the Guogong Mansion when they see each other.

Pushing Qin Kan away very arrogantly, Tang Yin took the lead and walked into the door, and after entering the front hall, he slapped the table very imposingly.

"Come on, serve me tea, serve me good tea, ask for the new tribute before the rain in Duyun County, and wrap me with two catties of fresh food, I will take ......it away later."

The maid in the front hall looked at Tang Yin in horror, and then looked at Qin Kan hesitantly, and found that his master was very kind to this evil guest, and he didn't mean to dismantle him at all.

Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "Brother Tang." Although friends are important to know each other, and it is important to share weal and woe, but we can't be too unfamiliar with ourselves...... Last year's drought, Duyun County paid tribute to the Jingshi with a total of less than forty catties, His Majesty gritted his teeth and endured the heartache to give me five catties, you asked me for two catties this time, is this kind of behavior a bit shameless? ”

Tang Yin blinked innocently: "You said it yourself, you can't be too polite to your friends, otherwise you will be killed, and besides, I am still the nominal eldest brother......"

Qin Kan suddenly found that he was also making a mistake. How pleasant it is to let this middle-aged sour scholar obediently salute himself and call him a subordinate official. Why do you have to be out of sight of him......

"If you have something to say, if you don't have anything to do, hurry up and go back to the country to take the child, I'm very busy......" As soon as the maid served the tea, Qin Kan picked up the tea cup very nowhere to be seen. A look of impatience to send off customers.

"Something. There are two things. ”

"Say."

"The first piece. How is my long-lost sister doing? ”

Qin Kan narrowed his eyes: "TOEFL, Zihe is very good, the door is not out of the door." In addition to indirectly killing a deputy commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, he has been very peaceful and virtuous recently...... What do you mean by thinking of my wife? ”

Tang Yin grinned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I'm worried? Do you think I want to be concerned? Recently, the commander of the Xicheng Terracotta Division Wu didn't know what to do, not only gave me a heavy gift, but also blocked me in front of the gate of the Guozi Prison every day, and when I met, I paid a big salute to worship, and said some words that I didn't know, vaguely only knew that it was related to Tang Zihe, and I was a small Guozi Supervisor from the Liupin Prison, and was treated so politely by the commander of the Terracotta Division, it was really better to live than to die......"

"Commander of Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Wu? Wu Ge? ”

"Yes, Wu Ge."

Qin Kan pondered for a moment, and then a smile appeared in his eyes: "I remember that the deputy commander of Zhou who was killed last month was also from the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses...... Have you accepted the heavy gift that Wu Ge gave you? ”

Tang Yin sighed: "Do I dare to accept it? Seeing that it is the triennial scientific examination, the day before yesterday I received an official letter from the Ministry of Rites, asking me to come up with a policy topic for this year's scientific examination. If the matter is revealed, I will not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River......"

Qin Kan smiled and said: "It's a pity that you missed a windfall, I dare to guarantee that Wu Ge's gift to you has absolutely nothing to do with scientific research......"

"Why did he give me a gift?"

"Probably he thought that he would die in the moat in the same way as the deputy commander surnamed Zhou, after all, the surname Zhou was Wu Ge's general, if I had a heart, he wouldn't be able to escape. I am a prince of the country, and he is not qualified to see me as a small commander of the Soldiers and Horses, so I have to make up my mind with you, the eldest brother. ”

Tang Yin suddenly thought for a moment: "It turns out that being your eldest brother has such benefits, thinking about how much I shirked back then, it's too hypocritical." ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Why don't you do this one of the hypocritical things? For example, if you come to me today for this matter, it is a very hypocritical thing. ”

Tang Yin coughed twice and said unnaturally: "There is one more thing ......"

"Say it."

"Borrowing money ......"

"Ha Lu Ha ......Ha Someone, send off! Qin Kan looked up to the sky and smiled, got up and waited to brush his sleeves away.

"Brother Qin Xian, slow down!" Tang Yin hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of his robe and said, "A friend has the righteousness of wealth, how can a virtuous brother be able to see that he is not saved from death?" ”

"Talking about money hurts feelings, Brother Tang, you are also a six-grade supervisor, every year, in addition to Yulu, there are also Gongsheng students who are filial piety to Bing Tan, how can you live as if you have suffered a disaster?"

Tang Yin's eyes suddenly turned red: "The foolish brother is forty years old and still alone, isn't this the reason why I spend money like water?" ”

Qin Kan understood.

The merry and talented man has become an unromantic old eunuch, and it is forgivable how quickly a forty-year-old old bachelor spends money, and Gentle Township is not only a hero's grave, but also a gold cave.

Qin Kan couldn't help but sigh, not for Tang Yin, but for himself.

Just finished pimping for Zhu Houzhao, turned around and helped Tang Yin pay for prostitution...... When the dignified prince has reached such a point, he should really kill himself to thank the world.

"How much do you want?" Qin Kan asked helplessly.

There is no half of the word "borrow" in the word, but directly says "want", and he knows that the nature of this silver is basically the same as a meat bun beating a dog.

"Ten thousand taels ......" Tang Yin blurted out, and after seeing the murderous aura in Qin Kan's eyes, he immediately changed his words rationally: "Five thousand taels." ”

"Stay in my house tonight and don't go back. Painted me ten pictures of the Spring Palace overnight, and after the painting, he took the silver and left. ”

"Okay." Tang Yin readily agreed.

Qin Kan looked at him thoughtfully: "Brother Tang, I heard that Lu Shen, the priest of the country, was reappointed as the envoy of Shanxi for the sake of learning, and the position of the priest of the country is undecided, is Brother Tang intentional?" ”

Speaking of this Lu Shen, he can indeed be regarded as a figure of the Zhengde Dynasty, he is a native of Songjiang Mansion in Nanzhili, the first second-class jinshi in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, that is, the fourth great talent in the overall ranking, when Liu Jin was in turmoil, he was demoted to the head of Nanjing. Liu Jin was reinstated after being ambushed. Later, because of his father's death, he was worried, but he did not take the initiative to make up for the poor position, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not forget him, and they recommended Lu Shen to the office. So in the eighth year of Zhengde, he was appointed as the priest of the country.

His name may be unfamiliar. But when it comes to the place name "Lujiazui" in Shanghai today, everyone must know it. The place name of "Lujiazui" is named after Lu Shen's former residence.

Tang Yin was stunned when he heard the words "Guozi Priest Wine", and his eyes widened. He looked shocked.

Qin Kan had no choice but to turn his head and wait for him to return to normal, a forty-year-old man's face had a stupid and cute expression, which was really not pleasing to the eye, and he couldn't bear to look at it more.

"National ...... Sub-supervisor...... Sacrificial wine? Tang Yin's breathing was obviously heavy.

The principal of the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, no matter who wins the champion or the list of students, they have to bring gifts to the door to thank the teacher with respect, this is only on the surface, if the position of sacrificial wine is more than a few years, in the future, the peach and plum will be all over the world, and its potential power is not exaggerated to what extent, even if Tang Yin wants to learn to walk sideways all over the world, there are countless disciples who sound gongs and clean the street for him.

Qin Kan nodded with a smile: "Yes, the prince of the country is supervising the sacrificial wine, is Brother Tang intentional?" ”

"I ...... Will it work? Tang Yin swallowed hard.

"Brother Tang is not as knowledgeable as others?"

Tang Yin was anxious: "After more than 20 years of hard reading of sage books, where am I inferior to others?" ”

"Brother Tang is not as famous as others?"

"The name of the merry genius in Jiangnan is known to the world!"

"Brother Tang's moral articles are not as good as people?"

"Whether it is scriptures, doctrines or poems, who can compare with me? If the scientific research had not been burdened by the fraud case, I would have been the champion of the dynasty. ”

Qin Kan said coldly: "Then what are you lacking in?" ”

Tang Yin's face fell: "I lost in seniority...... I am only forty years old this year, and I am still a little short of being respectable......"

Qin Kan pouted: "You really know how to put gold on your face, you are not a little worse." ”

Tang Yin's old face darkened.

Qin Kan smiled again: "But these details are not important, the important thing is that as long as you want to be the prince of the country, I will help you do it." ”

Tang Yin's face was suddenly filled with a very unsoothing feeling: "What a dark court......

"No way, you have a face that walks through the back door."

said that it was dark, but Tang Yin's happy expression betrayed his heart deeply.

It is the nature of people in the officialdom to drill camps to the sky, and the talented man naturally wants to be an official, otherwise why would he enter the Beijing scientific examination back then?

Although he was very happy, Tang Yin still picked up the stinky shelf of the reader, and said seriously: "If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, I want to be good alone, but when will I choose to help the world......"

Qin Kan interrupted him coldly: "Don't worry, your worst ending must be alone." ”

"Why?"

"Because you're poor."

********************************************************************

Even the rain does not know the spring, and the summer is deep when it is sunny.

There was a torrential rain in Jingshi at night, and the water level of Pinghu Lake outside the leopard house rose slightly.

The afternoon sun is scorching, and the light reflected on the surface of the lake adds to the heat of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Liu Liangnu was wearing a thin silk skirt, her waterfall-like black hair was pulled high into a black palace bun, she was half-lying on the white jade railing in the pavilion, her slender white jade hands like tender lotus roots gently stirred the lake, and a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water unconsciously looked at the sparkling lake.

There was a sound of soft footsteps behind her, Liu Liangnu came back to her senses, heard the familiar footsteps, her thin body trembled slightly, biting her lower lip but not looking back.

A pair of strong arms hugged her thin shoulders from behind and gently embraced her into his arms.

"Good girl, it's too hot here, don't get heat stroke, go back to the main hall, I asked the palace maid to prepare ice cubes to cool off......"

Liu Liangnu shook her head: "Your Majesty, the concubine likes this pavilion, surrounded by water, looking forward to the vastness, with nothing to rely on and nothing to worry about......"

Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry, pressed her shoulders hard, turned her over, looked into her eyes and said, "Why do you have nothing to rely on?" Am I not your trust? ”

Liu Liangnu smiled sadly: "Today may be, tomorrow will not be." ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What are you talking about!" Is the hot mush? I will always be your trust, from the day I married you into the leopard house, you are my person, I will shelter you from the wind and rain for the rest of your life. ”

Liu Liangnu's eyes were red, but she held back the tears in her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine, maybe it's too hot today, and the concubine is dizzy from the sun, so she talks nonsense." ”

Zhu Houzhao's face was slightly gloomy, he was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Good girl, I know that I can't stand you, recently the ministers of the DPRK and China have repeatedly gone up and down, saying that I am nearly thirty years old and have no queen, and I am ashamed of the foundation of my ancestors, this is a great unfilial piety, originally I have always ignored this kind of music, but this time is different, within half a month, there are nearly thousands of songs similar to persuading me to choose a concubine, and even the local government and the generals who command the envoys have sent the music to the Beijing Division, this momentum is obviously deliberately launched by someone behind it, although I am the son of heaven, but ...... It is really impossible to ignore the exhortations of the military officials below. ”

Liu Liangnu's eyes became redder, and she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Don't say it Your Majesty, the concubines all understand, the concubines are not safe, only blame the concubines for being too uncompetitive over the years, and failed to add a dragon to His Majesty. ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly and said: "Don't lie to me, I know that you feel uncomfortable, in fact, my heart is not comfortable, what I really want in this life, I want to do my best to love her and pity her woman, you are the only one, when I married you into the palace, I promised you that I would serve my father and the emperor for the rest of my life, and the marriage between you and me in this life has also become a good story for the ages, which makes countless descendants look up to and envy, but ...... I am the emperor, and I can't even marry a wife and have children...... by my own emperor."

"I have been on the throne for 14 years, in the past 14 years, I have done countless absurd and absurd things, and even made the world spit, as I get older, my heart has become more and more calm, many problems when I was young and frivolous, some have changed, some have not changed, I have always taken my father as an example, I want to be like him, like him to rule the prosperous world, even to marry a wife to be as single-minded, I want to be a good emperor, a good husband, a good father......"

Zhu Houzhao's smile was full of bitterness: "However, I can't do anything, the ministers of the court and the central government regard me as an enemy, the country's homeless people Caokou Tusi frequently rebelled, and the Tatar Wara has been unable to cut off the border every year, and now I can't even agree to the matter of whether I want a concubine or not......"

"In the past fourteen years, I have lost the world, my subjects, and you." (To be continued......)
