This was the first time since Huo Wu ascended the throne that he had missed the early dynasty, and Huo Xin and Li Wei were puzzled. Huo Xin changed his plans to return home. He turned around and walked towards the Conservatory Hall. Hun Sen saw Huo Xin from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Why hasn't the Prime Minister returned to the house yet?" ”

Huo Xin looked serious: "Has the emperor freshened up?" ”

"I've had breakfast, and I'm reading in the temple now!"

Did the emperor sleep well last night?

"Alas! The adults don't know that the emperor first slept in the Zhengjiao room last night, but I don't know why he returned to the greenhouse hall at the third watch and didn't fall asleep until dawn. ”

Huo Xin understood as soon as he heard that it must be the ignorant niece who annoyed the emperor. But even so, the emperor has no reason not to go to court! Although the emperor is young, he must not ignore the society and indulge himself! Thinking of this, Huo Xin said to Hun Sen: "If my father-in-law is tired, he will say that Huo Xin has something to see." ”

Not long after Hun Sen entered, he came out and said to Huo Xin: "The emperor invites your Excellency to return to the house." ”

"Please ask my father-in-law to pass the word again, and say that Huo Xin must meet the emperor in person."

Hun Sen's face was embarrassed, and when he saw that Huo Xin refused to leave, he had to go to the performance again. When he came out again, the atmosphere didn't dare to come out. He came to Huo Xin and whispered, "Prime Minister should go back!" The emperor lost his temper. ”

Hun Sen didn't expect that when Huo Xin heard this, instead of leaving, he knelt on the snow and said loudly: "The emperor is not seen today, and I have been kneeling here." ”

Hun Sen hurriedly stepped forward to help: "The prime minister can't help it, if the prime minister freezes his body, our family can't afford it!" ”

Huo Xin no longer paid attention to Hun Sen, and looked directly at the temple door, as if cast in iron. Hun Sen panicked when he saw this, turned around and ran towards the palace.

After about a moment, Hun Sen's shrill voice finally came from the door of the hall: "The emperor has an order, Huo Xin will meet you." ”

Huo Xin stood up from the ground, and suddenly felt that his knees were stiff, and his whole leg was cold.

Now, Huo Wu's figure had entered Huo Xin's line of sight, he looked a little tired and pale, although he was holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, but his wandering gaze showed that his mind was not on the book.

"Chen Huo Xin, see the emperor!"

Huo Wu raised his eyes and looked at Huo Xin, and ordered to give a seat. Huo Xin insisted on standing and talking: "Although the snow stopped yesterday evening, it snowed heavily in the second half of the night. But in order to go to the early court, the ministers got up at the time, arrived at the court, braved the cold and waited for two hours at the school, and the emperor dispersed the court without saying a word, and the ministers thought that this move was inappropriate. ”

Huo Wu's face was a little uncomfortable, put down the bamboo slip and said, "Didn't Hun Sen tell the prime minister that I am a little unwell today?" ”

"If you are unwell, the chief should have informed your subordinates earlier, why should you wait until the time is up?"

Huo Wu's face showed displeasure: "Is the prime minister accusing me?" ”

"How dare the minister accuse the emperor." Although Huo Xin lowered his head, the words he said were loud, "The minister remembers the ancients, 'The monarch, the yi, the people, the jing, the yizheng and the jingzheng.'" 'The emperor has a heavy responsibility and should set an example for his subordinates. Chu Yi of the Eastern Chu State governed the state affairs in those years, and he had to read and approve one hundred and twenty stone chapters every day, and never left it for tomorrow. The current emperor ......"

Huo Wu's face began to heat up, and then turned red, and the words to justify his behavior were clearly mixed with annoyance: "Why don't you dare? What the prime minister said just now, wasn't he accusing me of slacking off? The prime minister doesn't need to say it anymore, I remember that the prime minister was a hero of the two dynasties, and if you don't cure your crimes, don't you retreat? ”

Huo Xin didn't seem to hear Huo Wu's scolding, and despite Hun Sen's secret eyes on the side, he still generously stated according to his own ideas: "The emperor's crime of curing his ministers is just a sentence. But the minister heard that in your father's place, 'The lord of man cannot be alone.' Assisted by each other, the foundation scepter of the human lord is also indispensable. 'Now the emperor's state affairs have cooled the hearts of his subordinates, and the ministers are afraid that the Huo Dynasty will be in danger. ”

"Alarmist!"

"Your Majesty! Chen Dangsheng was born for the Great Wu Jiangshan Sheji and did not hesitate to be convicted of the Empress Dowager, so that he was deposed and returned to his hometown. The minister is risking death to admonish now, but also for the consolidation of the Huo family, even if the emperor kills the minister, the minister has to advise His Majesty. Since His Majesty's great prosperity and respect for Confucianism, women and children have all said that they are self-cultivation and family. If Your Majesty can't take the lead in setting an example, how can you obey the people of the world? ”

Huo Xin was so blunt, Huo Wu listened to it from the side, he was very annoyed at first, but after listening to it, his anger gradually receded, and he was ashamed of his dishonesty. He came to Huo Xin and said sincerely: "The prime minister is loyal and courageous, bright and fair, and I am also taught." ”

Hun Sen took the opportunity to play at this moment: "Your Majesty, Yan Ji has come to the capital. Huo Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly announced his entry into the hall. Yan Ji, who was waiting at the school, heard the emperor's summons, and his face added a lot of solemnity.

Haidian Road is not very long, but Yan Ji has walked from Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan to today. When Emperor Gang was alive, he hoped to go to Changjun to show his ambitions, but the emperor was not good at resigning, so he only went to Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan with a feeling of wistfulness.

Although Xiguan Luoyang is the royal capital, it was the most complicated time for him to be there. Huo Yong, the king of Liang, is not only good at martial arts, but also good at resignation. He recruited virtuous scribes, which made Yan Ji as always moved by knowledge. But after staying for a long time, he saw that King Liang was too enthusiastic about the position of prince and wantonly expanded the capital of Luoyang, so he gradually became worried.

After the death of King Liang, he returned to his hometown of Boluo with the sadness of ignorance of the mountains and rivers, and his life soon fell into an embarrassment. He had to thank his friend Boluo County Ling Wang Ji, even though he looked down on his vulgarity and shallowness from the bottom of his heart. But Wang Ji didn't care about these, not because he was broad-minded, but because Yan Ji's reputation was too great, which made Wang Ji's face add a lot of brilliance.

On this day, Wang Ji visited again: "There is someone who wants to see Mr., I wonder if Mr. would like to see him?" ”

"In the next new hometown, the family is surrounded by walls, who is so favored?" Yan Ji asked as he let Wang Ji into the guest room.

When Wang Ji heard this, his face couldn't help showing a little smugness, and he said with a smile: "Doctor Liuhai, do you know it?" ”

Yan Ji shook his head.

Wang Ji's eyes widened suddenly, and his puzzled gaze repeatedly looked at him. He sighed and regretted Yan Ji's loneliness: "Oh my God! Mr. don't know bangs? He is a big celebrity next to the emperor! Climbing on him, why should the gentleman be so embarrassed? ”

Yan Ji smiled a little disappreciatively: "In the next many years, I have traveled to Changjun, Boluo, Yongzhou and Xiguan Luoyang Prefecture, and drank and feasted with princes and nobles every day, what kind of person has not seen it?" Just a middle doctor, how can it be eye-catching? ”

Wang Ji's face was a little unnatural, and he asked impatiently, "Mr. just said that you can't see it?" ”

"Nope! Missing! Yan Ji said, took care of Fuqin, and put Wang Ji aside.

After that, for three days, Yan Ji refused. On the fourth day, he finally couldn't stand Wang Ji's entanglement, and reluctantly followed him to Liu Hai's mansion.

He didn't expect that the drunken impromptu stroking of the piano would make Liu Hai's daughter swaying like a cloud and fall in love.

After playing the song, the wine burned in the blood, and Yan Ji couldn't help but feel a little hot. He walked out of the crowded living room and found a secluded place in the willow shade to cool off.

What is loneliness? Loneliness is that no one can read your elegance. Yan Ji found that when he was immersed in the strings, the eyes he attracted were very different. or blind as blind, or deaf as deaf, or distracted, or disdainful. Even that Wang Ji is full of fat brains, vassal elegance, and a few words of praise are not right, how many people have heard his melancholy and hesitation from that graceful and elegant song?

Facing the moonlight, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The child period is gone, Boya sings alone, where is the bosom friend?" I should have broken the strings too! ”

"The bosom friend is here, the strings are not broken, don't be a listener." A soft whisper came from among the shadows of the flowers, interrupting Yan Ji's thoughts.

In the haze, I saw only a fair lady, with high hair and cloud sideburns, peach cheeks and willows, slim and elegant. She was like a spring breeze in a quiet night, which made most of Yan Ji's wine wake up. Just as she was demented, the woman spoke softly: "The concubine has been listening to Mr. Lean's voice behind the tent. Thoughts are boundless, emotions are full of tears. The concubine is presumptuous, and Mr. Xie's mood is full of melancholy.

Sharing names, Yan Ji was very surprised that the vulgar and snobbish bangs had such a daughter who was proficient in music and rhythm and was as beautiful as a fairy. Not only did she follow the curve, but she also read through his anguish. That night, the two fell in love under the moon, talked about words, and enjoyed each other.

Ruyun said: "The concubine is widowed and widowed, lonely for a long night, and guards the lonely lamp alone." Mr. Jinyu, suave and suave. If you don't give up, you are willing to make a promise. ”

This made Yan Ji marvel that there is such a woman in the world who dares to love and hate, which is in line with his chic and eclectic character.

But he was sober. In his current situation, what can he bring to Ruyun? How could Liu Hai allow his daughter to marry a man like him, who had an empty stomach of learning and was destitute?

Ruyun is really a strange woman, and her admiration for Yan Ji made her choose to elope despite her father's opposition.

Although Liu Hai is a profit-seeker, how can he not care about his own face? Although he has a lot of money, he is unwilling to give Ruyun a penny, which greatly hurts Yan Ji's self-esteem.

Ruyun is unswervingly committed to staying with himself, what can he not give up? Yan Ji was angry and sold the car he brought back from Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan, bought a wine house, and simply let Ruyun sell wine while he was a servant......

He didn't expect that his article would attract the emperor's attention. Now back to the old place, Yan Ji is full of emotion. If it weren't for the recommendation of a friend, with the millions of assets that Liu Hai later gave away with his heart, the rest of his life might have been spent without worrying about food and clothing.

Now, he couldn't guess what kind of demeanor the emperor had, and he didn't know if the emperor summoned him out of respect for the scribes or out of a pretended posture of courtesy. When he walked into the front hall of Changle Palace, his steps couldn't help but be a little hesitant, until Huo Wu appeared in front of him, his thoughts were still floating.

"Chen Yanji knocks to see Your Majesty!"

Whether the emperor made a will to him "flat", he seemed to hear it, but he didn't seem to hear it. When he raised his head, the emperor with extraordinary bearing had already stepped down from the Danqi and helped him up.

"I've read Aiqing's article."

Yan Ji was very stunned, the emperor had all the opportunities, how could he have time to read his articles.

"The writing is brilliant." Huo Wu said again.

Hearing this, he suddenly had a familiarity and warmth at first sight, and the cold he encountered in the past, the worry along the way suddenly faded away.

"Although I am still martial, I also love it. Can Aiqing write a fu for me? ”

Yan Ji became more and more excited: "It is an article by the ministers and the waiters, it is not surprising. Please allow your Majesty to make a safari. ”

Huo Wu was secretly happy and asked, "How many days will Aiqing take?" ”

"Not necessarily! Lean on the horse! ”

"Really? Could it be that Aiqing is joking? ”

"If you say nothing, the minister is willing to accept the sins of the palace!"

There are indeed scribes in the world who rely on horses and a thousand words, isn't this a blessing for the community? Huo Wu suddenly had a whim, why not summon the prime minister, the captain and the imperial doctor to take a look? So he immediately gave the order, and in a few moments the ministers came in a hurry.

Huo Xin saw that the emperor hurriedly announced the summons, just for a scholar, so he secretly thought in his heart, the emperor is really still a child, saying that wind is rain. He has been practicing Confucianism since he was a child, and he has never had the experience of being a good exporter, and Yan Ji of Luoyang, Xiguan, actually spoke in front of the emperor. And the emperor is so flamboyant, he can't help but make a little fuss.

was about to speak, but saw the guards beside the emperor spread out the bamboo slips and adjusted the lacquer and ink. Yan Ji was in front of the court officials, without the slightest timidity and cowering, he thought for a moment, and the dripping Hanmo fell.

Yan Ji wrote, and the officials watched intently, conveying their feelings with their eyes from time to time.

With the ups and downs of feelings, the pen in Yan Ji's hand was sometimes soothing like a stream, sometimes fast like a waterfall, and later, he wrote faster and faster. The line of flies and small subordinates, like a surging river, rushed straight to the bottom of the eye.

The onlookers secretly marveled, knowing that there was a talent in the world. Li Wei stared at a pair of small eyes, feeling incredible; Wang Juan recalled the virtuous and virtuous strategy, and felt that Zhao Yun, who had once made the emperor admire, overshadowed.

Different people have different feelings about the same article. Huo Xin silently recited Yan Ji's Huazhang, but captured the irony of criticizing the emperor for being too extravagant. For this alone, he had a little liking for Yan Ji, and thought that there should be more such loyal people around the emperor. Huo Xin looked sideways at Huo Wu, who was intoxicated with beautiful writing, nodded quietly, and expressed his approval of Yan Ji in a zigzag manner.

Yan Ji was unaware of all this, and his mind at the moment was immersed in the flying flow of love, the rushing of literature, and the galloping of God. It wasn't until he had written the last word that he noticed that everyone was looking at him in amazement. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Excellency is here, and you are making a fool of yourself." After that, he turned to Huo Wu and said, "The minister has drafted the "Safari Map" and asked the emperor to read it. ”

Because the ink had not yet dried, Huo Wu could only look at it as he walked, and when he browsed it again, he could raise his eyes and recite.

"What Aiqing said in the article......"

"Your Majesty! The minister's article is a false excuse for the three of them to push the palace of the princes of the Son of Heaven. The thrifty return of the pawn is because of irony. ”

"Wonderful article! Wonderful article! Aiqing really believes in a thousand words, relying on the horse! That...... I will worship you as a lang, and I will be by my side sooner or later! ”
