In the warm pavilion of Changchun Palace, the emperor is sitting at the desk reading the book, and what he holds in his hand is the "Historical Records", which is also recorded in the history of China from the period of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times to the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He looked very carefully, although his face looked bad, and from time to time he covered his mouth with a brocade and coughed a few times, but he was engrossed, until he heard the sound of Shuguifei and Han Mo's worship, he came to his senses, put down the book, looked up, and saw Han Mo worshipping in front.

"Concubine Ai, Han Mo, get up!" The emperor smiled and raised his hand, looking very kind.

"Thank you!"

The emperor picked up the fragrant tea on the table, took a sip lightly, moistened his throat, and said, "Han Mo, I asked you to be the director of the West Flower Hall, are you a little unconvinced?" ”

His dark eyes were fixed on Han Mo's body, his face was calm, this face looked ordinary, but from this kind of face, no one could see his thoughts.

This is the Ninety-Five Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, and he should be the most powerful person in the Yan Kingdom, but for historical reasons, his throne is more difficult than that of ordinary emperors.

"Xiao Chen doesn't dare!" Han Mo immediately said: "Holy Longen, it's too late for the ministers to be grateful, there is nothing else to think about!" ”

The emperor let out an "oh" and looked at Concubine Shu, who said softly: "No one will hear what is said here." Her voice was soft, but her tone was affirmative.

When Han Mo heard this, he felt a trace of sympathy for this emperor in his heart.

As an emperor, it is a sad thing to speak without fear of being heard. He suddenly understood that Concubine Shugui summoned herself here because the emperor wanted to see her, and in Changchun Palace, the emperor would talk to him more secretly.

The palace is full of ears, Concubine Shu is the master of Changchun Palace, and she can always control Changchun Palace.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, Concubine Shu already owed her body, and said respectfully: "Holy Lord, the concubine will go and make some soup for you!" ”

Waiting for Concubine Shu to retreat, the emperor said to Han Mo: "I asked you to come here to tell you that everyone thinks that the West Flower Hall is a mess and a mess of mud, but I have always regarded the West Flower Hall as a treasure. I am reluctant to put this treasure in the hands of others, and there are indeed not many people in the court who know the treasure, so I have the opportunity to keep it and put it in your hands! ”

Han Mo was a little dizzy when he heard this, just because he still didn't know anything about the West Flower Hall.

The ridiculed eyes of the ministers, and now the emperor said that it was a treasure left behind, which made Han Mo's head as big as a fight, and he couldn't wait to go to the so-called West Flower Hall now to see what was there.

……

"You seem to be suspicious of my words?" The emperor sat on the chair and looked at Han Mo quietly, his voice was also very flat.

Han Mo hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare!" ”

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so humble in front of me, in fact, you should understand that my courtiers do not think that I am a supreme emperor. ”

He smiled, but bitterly.

Han Mo's heart trembled, he frowned slightly, in terms of common sense, even if this emperor had grievances in his heart, it was impossible to show it in front of him, but the middle-aged emperor in front of him, who was about forty years old, showed his helpless side in front of him, revealing his sentimentality in front of a courtier who was less than twenty years old.

Han Motui stood in front of the emperor, looking very humble, but he didn't answer.

The emperor leaned back in his chair and said slowly: "Although the West Flower Hall has been silent for a few years, it is not useless. Whether an institution is strong or not depends on how officials manage and guide it. I only hope that you can do more things in the West Flower Hall, for the sake of this country and for me! ”

"The holy admonition, the minister always keeps it in mind, and swears allegiance to my emperor long live!" Han Mo said respectfully.

The Emperor smiled and said, "Allegiance? Han Mo, do you really think like this in your heart? ”

Han Mo calmly replied: "The courtier's loyalty is justified, but the minister thinks so. ”

The emperor laughed and said, "You are young, but you can speak. His expression suddenly became solemn, and he said slowly: "Han Mo, if you are truly loyal to me, I will not treat you badly." Provoke the West Flower Hall, I said, it's a treasure, how to use the baby, it depends on your ability. ”

"The minister obeys!"

The Emperor got up from his chair and walked slowly to the window of the warm pavilion, looking out of the window, where there were a few plum blossoms.

When Han Mo left the palace, it was already noon, and he had been thinking about the meaning of the emperor's words along the way, which seemed to be just a few words today, but Han Mo always felt that the emperor's words seemed to contain other meanings.

Emperor Yan secretly summoned a small young courtier, and the official position that this courtier was about to hold was ridiculed and ridiculed by the courtiers, Han Mo always felt that things were a little weird, and he didn't understand the signal hidden in it for a while.

But there is one thing that Han Mo vaguely made some judgments, that is, the emperor must want to use himself to do something, otherwise it is impossible for the dignified Ninety-Five Venerable to be full and summon him secretly.

After coming out of Changchun Palace, he was sent to Yan'an Palace, changed into his own sedan chair and walked out of the East Palace Gate, and Han Mo asked people to go over to the officials.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is in the thirteen institutes of the East Road, turn left out of the East Palace Gate, but you can reach the East Road in half an hour, and the Yamen institutions on this road are errands, echoing with the eight institutes of the West Road.

The yamen of the Ministry of Officials is blue bricks and red tiles, located in the middle of the host road, when Han Mo arrived, someone had already come up to greet him, and said respectfully: "Han Shilang is waiting, please come with me!" ”

Han Mo knew that the Han family was powerful in the Ministry of Officials, and Han Xince, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, was also one of the important figures of the Han family in the court.

Following the officials to a public house, two saber guards guarded the door, and the official who led the way had already said loudly: "My lord, Director Han has arrived!" ”

Han Xince's voice came from inside the house: "Come in!" ”

The guard opened the door, Han Mo entered the house alone, and saw that the room was full of bookshelves, and Han Xince was sitting at the table, and the table was also full of official documents waiting to be processed.

"Fifth Young Master!" Seeing Han Mo coming in, Han Xince hurriedly got up to greet the mountain, and smiled kindly: "Originally, it didn't hurt to send someone to send it, but according to the rules of the Ministry of Officials, the official seal is not trivial, unless it is the seal given by the palace or the seal of heavy soldiers can be sent out of the Ministry of Officials, if we break the rules, it is inevitable that someone will have something to say in the court, so for the sake of everything, I invited the fifth young master to come here to get the seal." ”

Han Mo smiled and said, "I can take care of it." ”

"The official seals are stored in the Printing Library, and the official seals of vacant official positions will be stored in the Printing Library, where there are organs, and there are heavy guards, so I am very careful." Han Xince said slowly: "But I have already memorized the seal of the fifth young master, and I have taken out the painting. After speaking, he walked to the table, carefully picked up the small wooden box on the table, walked to Han Mo's side, opened the wooden box, and said, "Fifth Young Master, please see, this is your seal." However, unlike other yamen, the West Flower Hall does not have an official seal, and some are only dark iron cards, which can be used as tokens and official seals! ”

"It's a bit rare." Han Mo smiled, stretched out his hand to take out the Xuantie card from the wooden box, stretched it out to the middle, glanced at Han Xince, and asked with a smile, "Can I take a look?" ”

Han Xince smiled and said, "This is the fifth young master's, of course you can watch it!" ”

Han Mo smiled, took out the dark iron card from it, and put it flat in his hand, this black color is black, and when placed in the palm of his hand, it is very cold and heavy.

The front of the Xuantie card is engraved with the five words "Lingyin of the Director of the West Flower Hall", but the reverse side is carved with flowing clouds and waves, flowing clouds on the top, and waves on the bottom, quite an impressionistic style, but what makes Han Mo most puzzled is that the reverse side of the Xuantie card is directly above, and the words "Gongyan Deguang" are engraved.

"Gongyan Deguang?" Han Mo read softly, his eyebrows were full of doubts, he looked up at Han Xince, and wondered, "What does this mean?" ”

When Han Xince heard the words "Gongyan Deguang", a look of awe flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "This is to commend Xue Gongyan's merits, and the first emperor specially ordered someone to engrave it, just to make everyone in the West Flower Hall remember Xue Gongyan!" ”

"Xue Gongyan?" Han Mo blinked: "Who is Xue Gongyan?" ”

"Xue Gongyan is Gongyan Lao, and the West Flower Hall was created by him!" Han Xince said softly: "The West Flower Hall in the hands of Gongyan Lao back then is not the mess it is now!" ”

Han Mo groaned, suddenly looked at Han Xince, and said with a smile: "Lord Han, in fact, I still don't know what this West Flower Hall is, can you tell me about it?" ”

Han Xince thought about it for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Fifth Young Master, I won't tell you anything, you are really ...... as the director of the West Flower Hall It's not a good thing! ”

"Oh!" Han Mo smiled and asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”

"Since the Fifth Young Master wants to know, I will tell the Fifth Young Master what I know." Han Xince invited Han Mo to sit down on the chair next to him, and even poured tea for Han Mo himself, so he sat down on the chair next to him, looked at Han Mo, and asked, "Fifth Young Master, have you heard of the East Flower Hall?" ”

"Heard!" Han Mo nodded and said, "But I don't know what this East Flower Hall is for. ”

Han Xince looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, and then said softly: "Donghua Hall, to put it bluntly, is the nest of the spies, where the most elite spies of my Yan Kingdom are gathered. ”

"Spies?"

"Not bad." Although Han Xince is a servant of the ministry, when he said this, there was still a trace of fear on his face: "The duty of a spy is to secretly spy on intelligence, monitor the whereabouts of others, secretly sabotage, and assassinate a group of people like ghosts!" ”
