Before Yun Yatou could get out of the prison door, the prisoners howled "whoop", swarmed to the basket, grabbed He Gengjin's change of clothes and threw it to the ground, scrambling to grab the food inside. In addition to a dozen heterozygous pastries, there are also a few pieces of old pickles, and two hard-boiled salted eggs. Shen San caught the egg, but he didn't dare to eat it, he pinched the cake in one hand and ate it with a slurp, saying, "This prodigal girl's craftsmanship is not bad." It's so fragrant, there are pepper leaves kneaded in it - Wei Ye, two eggs are naturally your old use! The rest of the prisoners were holding cakes, and the pickles were biting loudly, eating with relish, shouting, and making a few noises in a vague manner, and some laughed and said: "Master Wei, He Gengjin finally has a regular filial piety, so don't let him go to court!" Yun Yatou could see clearly through the gate, squatted down and cried loudly, no matter how Hu Fugui dragged it, he always refused to get up. Wei Tianpeng walked past Zhaohui with an egg in one hand, handed one over the fence, and said with a smile:

"Your eyes are swollen and bleeding, are you hungry? Come on, Wei Ye will reward you with one! ”

Zhaohui was covered in blood and veins, dizzy and trembling, staring at the egg handed to his face, his eyes were black with anger, and he was thinking about how to punish the bully in prison, but Wei Tianpeng threw the egg and pulled the long braid that was coiled around his neck violently, sandwiching Zhaohui's head between the fence wood and couldn't move!

"Master Hu can't beat you," Wei Tianpeng glanced at Hu Fugui who was dragging the cloud girl, "You probably don't know, I'm still a ** brother!" - I'll teach you a lesson for **, bastard! He turned back to a few prisoners and said, "This guy has kung fu!" Come, beat him through the fence! Immediately several prisoners came up shouting. Wei Tianpeng wrapped his braid around his hand and dragged it hard, and the prisoners' fists rained down on Zhaohui's head, hitting his chest and stomach, and kicking his feet across the fence. At this time, Yun Yatou was already stunned, her face was not bloody, and she was half lying on the ground watching this tragedy. Hu Fugui picked his teeth to look at the excitement, and said to himself: "Don't kick the crotch, don't kick the crotch - these officials are piled up with a mountain of silver, and they can't pull out a dime at this point!" "The punches and kicks became more ferocious for a while.

Zhao Hui is a battle-hardened general, and this kind of punch and kick is not a problem at all. Suffering from the fact that his braids were dragged to death, his body could not move, and he had no weapon in his hand, so he could only be beaten by others. At a glance in a hurry, I saw a clay pot under my feet, covered with a coarse porcelain bowl, because I couldn't bend over, my legs flexibly avoided kicking, so that my toes were hooked, and the crockpot flew up with the bowl "support", and the bowl was already in my right hand, and the bowl was broken with both hands, and the bowl was divided into two pieces! Zhao Hui held one piece in each hand, no less than two daggers, and didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, stretched out the bar to poke and slash, the two gangsters suddenly hit the hand, and one was stabbed in the eye, "Mom! He rolled to the ground with a thud. The two who cut their hands were also drenched in blood, holding their hands and necks so painful that they crooked their mouths and bared their teeth, and they couldn't stop screaming and scolding. Wei Tianpeng pulled his braid from afar and still didn't let go, and shouted: "Kick, kick the guy in his hand!" Seeing that Zhaohui was powerful, several prisoners just kicked their feet in the air, and never dared to take a step closer. At this time, Hu Fugui seemed to wake up suddenly, and shouted to everyone: "Stop!" What the fuck are these rules? ”

"You don't know the rules now?" Because the braid was at the back of his head, Wei Tianpeng pulled it tightly, and Zhaohui was already half pulled off his face, and scolded: "Your surname is Hu, wait, I won't kill you and swear not to be a person!" So he cut his braids with the stubble. Wei Tianpeng also ignored the identity of "Qianlong", and fled to the northeast corner. Zhao Hui couldn't get rid of his hatred, let go of his hands and feet again, stretched out his arm over the fence and waved, and half of the bowl flew straight over. was slashing from Wei Tianpeng's left cheek and "dangchang" to the ground. In today's words, it was a cut of the carotid artery, which could not be treated instantly, and it was no different from killing the head - I saw the blood in Wei Tianpeng's neck shoot straight out like chopsticks, splashing straight to the wall, and immediately fell to the ground, rolled a few times with a muffled snort, stretched out his legs, trembled violently all over his body, suddenly relieved, buried his head in a pool of blood, and stopped moving.

The room full of prisoners were frightened, some stretched their necks, some bent over, some still had mixed dough cakes in their mouths, and pickles in their hands, as if they had been immobilized. The rest of the prisoners also stuck their heads on the edge of the fence and looked through the cracks in the wooden posts to look at the movement. Yun girl** said "My mother's ......", and fainted.

Hu Fugui had a white face, opened the door and entered the number, turned over the corpse to look at the wound and felt the pulse to try his nose, Wei "Qianlong" did not move, opened his eyes and saw that the pupils were already scattered, and his life was like three watches running out of oil, and his body was like five drums and mountains and moons, and he went west with one life. It took Hu Fugui a long time to wake up, and he was so flustered that he forgot to close the number door, hurriedly came out, and shouted: "That escaped Zhao Hui killed someone in the number!" - Someone, put a heavy flail on him, and put him in chains! Kill this thief! ”

With his shouting, more than a dozen jailers swarmed in, and when they saw Zhaohui sitting on stilts against the wall as if nothing had happened, they immediately rushed up, and "clicked" a forty-pound oak wood flail for Zhaohui to put on, and then nailed him with big shackles. Clean up the blood stains and carry the corpse on the other side, Zhaohui has no ability to resist here, and the three officials wave their leather whips, and they just jerk around Zhaohui without a head or brain. Suddenly, Zhaohui's flesh and blood were blurred, and he only closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to endure the pain, but there was no sound**. Yun Yatou, who was fainting in the aisle, had woken up, and when she saw this scene, she threw herself to the fence and said: "Don't fight, don't fight......" He Gengjin, who was in the aisle, also cried and begged: "Master Hu...... It's up to me. You want to beat me, beat me ......"

"Go back, girl!" Zhaohui suddenly opened his eyes and said to Yun Yatou: "I will definitely be able to rescue your father!" ”

Hu Fugui laughed angrily and said, "You can really pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" You are a fugitive wanted by the imperial court, and you will inevitably be stabbed in the west market, and you still say that you will save others? Kicking at the cloud girl: "Get out!" It's not you, a prodigal cunt, can Lao Tzu be fined for a year? The two jailers pushed and kicked Yun Yatou out. Hu Fugui was so angry that he came in and whipped his head and face for a while, and then he said: "Take He Gengjin here, they are now a case, and ask the old man to come and wait for his son-in-law!" At this time, Zhaohui had fainted. Hu Fugui kicked him in the waist again, and said: "You are pretending to be dead in the dog's day - two meals of salted water and boiled bamboo shoots a day will teach you to eat enough!" "Then lock the door and take the people away.

In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Fugui was still in the mood and came again with a few jailers. This time, he came prepared, first tied Zhaohui straight with a rope, climbed on the ground with a flail, dipped a bamboo strip in salt water, and pumped it violently, saying that this is called "burning bamboo shoots in salt water". This beating was very different from the morning, which was just a pain in the flesh and skin, and the salt water of this kind of beating was all over the body, like a fire cannon, and the heart was pulled with a strip of smoke, and the blood was splashed everywhere. Zhaohui was lying on the ground with a flail, and could only see Hu Fugui's two legs moving around, hate, sadness, pain and desolation in his heart, gritted his teeth and endured not snorting, and secretly swore to the sky: "Once Zhaoxue is born, I will not kill this fangfei husband!" At first, the prisoners of the big trumpets were still cheering and watching the excitement, but at some point, they suddenly became silent, and they all got up and threw themselves at the fence and looked nervously at this side, and I don't know which one of the prisoners shouted "good man"! Then dozens of people should be with the "heroes"! Zhao Hui buzzed and didn't know anything......

Zhaohui fell asleep for three days, and when he woke up, he found that it was no longer in the original number, but a seven-foot square room. Not only did he lie on the bed, but he also had a table, a kettle, a tea bowl, a flail around his neck and a shackle on his feet, and he was wrapped in a raw white cloth. He was in a trance for a while, looking at the ceiling that was flattened with pure white paper, and subconsciously raised his body, and saw the "mercy" trumpet standing in the east through the curtain...... Hearing the sound of "fluttering", Zhaohui turned his face, but saw that it was He Geng** squatting on the ground, and three stones supporting the medicine pot were boiling medicine. There was also a rustling sound outside the door, as if someone was scrubbing something. Only one small foot was exposed at the corner of the gate, and it was known that it was a woman. Zhao Hui let out a long breath and said faintly, "Give me a new number......

"Master Zhao (Zhao), you can wake up!" He Laohan, who was boiling medicine, hurriedly got up and came to the bed and asked, "Are you thirsty?" Hungry, right? Before Zhaohui could answer, the shadow of the cloud girl flashed at the gate of the outer gate, and she opened the door, muttering with a slight breath: "Nan Wu Great Compassion and Great Compassion save the suffering and save the vast Mighty Guanyin Bodhisattva...... Are you awake...... It was really scary, for three days and three nights, and I was so faint that I didn't know who ......"

Zhao Hui was stunned and asked, "It's been three days since I died?" ”

"It's been four days, Yetai." He Laohan sighed, "I moved you here three days ago, you were unconscious in front of your head, and that Hu Ye went in and kicked you a few times......"

"Why did you move here?"

"I don't know." He Gengjin shook his head and said, "It was the official of the supervisor here who brought someone to carry you over." Maybe your family or your friends have made money...... I heard the uncle here say that the people who are locked up here are all big criminals with heads and faces, and I don't understand if the punishment is not up to the doctor, anyway, the doctor will prescribe medicine for you to treat your injuries......"

Zhaohui thought hard, and categorically no one made money to save him, but he was still dizzy and couldn't think of anything. He Gengjin fed him a few sips of water and said, "I'm hungry." The buns in the basket on the table give me a ......" "Don't eat that." He Gengjin said, "That's the meal Yun'er sent me." They offer you fine rice and white flour, and meat. Cloud girl - is it all right? ”

"That's it, it's good!" The cloud girl outside agreed repeatedly, "The buns in the cage are too hot!" Oppose! - " As he spoke, he slapped his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he stuffed a few snow-white buns through the door grille with a small basket. Zhaohui ate one, which was filled with pure meat and green onions, and when he took a bite of the oil, he was about to say "fragrant"! Glancing at the basket, he said, "I'm so tired, bring me what you eat." Yun Yatou smiled through the door: "I'm afraid of getting tired, I use lean meat, and I don't dare to use oil." You're a man! We didn't even mix oil except leeks and salt—we didn't hear 'May leeks, stinky dogs,'" she suddenly felt speechless, blushed, and turned away.

Zhaohui didn't pay attention, eating a leek stuffed bun, it was really not very delicious, and because he was afraid of rancidness in the hot weather, he was so salty that he stung his mouth, and said "good" while chewing. He asked, "Why did you get locked up here?" It's incredible that the cloud girl can still wait in front of her. "I don't understand that." He Gengjin said, "I think hell has moved to heaven!" - Whatever, he has to be used when he is used, anyway, he doesn't have to suffer now. As he spoke, a stream of footsteps approached. When Zhao Hui saw it, it was the warden who came in with a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. The young man had clear eyebrows and a flowing expression, wearing only a azure gauze robe, a crimson sash, and a new black satin melon skin hat on his head, standing behind the prison canon, with a gentle smile on his face. It makes people feel good at first sight. Seeing him staring at the young man, Prison Dian Shi leaned over and stroked the medicine cloth wrapped around Zhaohui's shoulder, and asked, "Have you changed the medicine today?" I told them to change it twice a day. Is this going to be better? ”

"Who is this gentleman?" Zhao Hui looked at the young man and asked, "Do you see something wrong with me?" Seeing that he ignored him, he was not embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled and introduced: "This is Mr. He Shen, who is now following A Gui Zhongtang on an errand at the military aircraft department, and Fei Huang Tengda is-" He Shen cut off without waiting for him to finish, "-It was Lord Gui who asked me to come to see you, I was a step late, and you suffered." ”

Zhaohui did not answer. The Prison Dictionary Shi came up and said with a smile: "Adults, you have to be considerate of the difficulties of our dogs." When the magistrate can scrape the ground, when the soldier can eat the empty amount. Like me, there are only eight taels of cases, and Hu Fugui and they only have two taels. This place does not eat prisoners, who does it eat? Counting my grandfather, I've been on an errand here for three lifetimes. As long as the prisoner does not escape from prison, he is happy to ask the prisoner to take care of the prisoner, and he wants to be at ease, right? The head of the prisoner in the trumpet of benevolence over there is still fierce! This Wei Tianpeng was just unlucky and hit Zhao Ye's hand......" Zhao Hui listened coldly and said, "They are going to kill me, what are you going to do?" Now that I've killed him, what are you going to do? ”

"On such a hot day, what day in prison will you not carry dead bodies out?" Prison Classics laughed when he heard it, "This matter can't be called a 'case', we have our method - a 'violent illness' is reported to the register and the record is over." ”

Zhaohui couldn't help but sigh secretly, "It's really murderous...... and he turned his face to ask He Shen: "Is there any news from Hailancha?" He Shen smiled: "How dare I ask these questions like this?" When you have the letter, you will know it before I know it—you can take care of your injuries first. Here I said okay, I will give you a bill number, and I want to walk in the courtyard. If you want to lack something, tell that cloud girl, and naturally there will be a response. He didn't salute after saying that, he only smiled at Zhaohui and bowed slightly. The prison code Shi Dog escorted He Shen out like a tail, and came back in a blink of an eye, even the gate in the middle was no longer locked, and he called He Gengjin and his daughter to the compound, and said: "This Zhao Ye is not a small person. was supposed to be imprisoned in the beekeeping road and forbidden to those old men and adults, but by accident he was locked up in Shuntian Mansion. Now that the boss has something to say, I will leave Zhao Ye to you to take care of. Wait carefully! He Gengjin, you are a guilty body, you are so creative! First because of the disaster, I heard that the queen's phoenix body is not safe, and she wants to be amnesty, this He (and) Ye pointed out that you come to serve the sick, you are one step to the sky! ”

Because Zhaohui replied to He Gengjin in the trumpet to kill Wei Tianpeng, it was expected that the two must have a relationship, and his lips were scorched and his tongue was rotten, and He Gengjin was an honest man, so he only agreed to bow down. Yun Yatou asked beside her, "What crime did this Zhao (Zhao) Ye commit?" ”

"He is a fugitive from the war in Jinchuan." Prison Classics licked his lips and said. "But I heard that the case is very complicated, and it will have to be decided before the royal trial."

"What happens if you are condemned?"

"Of course, it must be punished by the canonical punishment - but if Ming'er kills his head, such a person will have to live well today."

"Ming Zheng's punishment?"

Prison Dian Shi smiled, wiped his hand on his neck, and said, "Tsk! - It's to cut off the head and melon seeds! Little girl, why are you so fine? Got a crush on him? The cloud girl's face turned red when she said this, and the history shook the banana fan and grinned.

He Shen left the rope maker alley and immediately rushed back to the military aircraft to return to Ah Gui. Ah Gui was not in the military aircraft department, only Fu Heng was talking to Liu Tongxun about the envoy, and a few directors of the criminal department and Yu Shiduan were sitting and listening, and Zhang Jing of several military aircraft departments was busy opening and reading documents in the next room, and he didn't dare to disturb. asked the eunuch waiting outside the door, only to know that Ah Gui went to Zhang Tingyu's mansion and had just walked less than a bag of cigarettes. Ah Gui is not here, there is no envoy here, and the people are not familiar, standing and thinking about it, he still went out of Xihuamen to Zhangfu to find Ah Gui.

This was the second time he had come to Zhang's mansion in three days. The first time I came, the sentry guards inside and outside the courtyard were all deployed by the Imperial Forest Army of the Infantry Commander Yamen, and several third-class guards in Ouchi patrolled with knives, which was very solemn and majestic. He didn't even enter the second gate, blocked it, and only let Ah Gui into the inner courtyard. This time it was very different, all the troops were withdrawn, leaving only a few pen posts and officials of the Department of Prudence and Criminal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to guard them, although the inside and outside of the courtyard were still under martial law, but they did not carry swords, so there was a lot less violent atmosphere. A few Goshha at the door checked the sign, and when they saw that it was someone from the military aircraft department, they let the people enter without questioning. However, the official guarding the second gate of the West Courtyard interrogated He Shen, knew that it was Ah Gui's attaché, pointed to the north room of the West Inner Courtyard, and said: "Gui Zhongtang and Ji Zhongtang are all talking to Zhang Xiang inside, so go in by yourself." ”

He Shen walked into the courtyard, only to see that the south room of the east wing and the north room were sealed with locks and keys, and yellow paper seals were pasted. The north house porch was full of boxes, and they were all sealed. Only the west chamber is the living room where Zhang Tingyu received foreign officials, and the door is also open, the screen window is up, and several people are talking inside. When he heard that Ah Gui was included, he didn't dare to be alarmed, and tiptoed to the porch to stand and wait with his hands down. But he heard Zhang Tingyu's old and turbid voice and said: "I have reflected a lot these days. After all, I think that since the emperor said so, he still thinks of me, an old minion. Alas...... When people are old, they can't think about things anymore, and they can't help their masters. For the reputation behind him, he made a mess in front of him! However, please ask the two of you to look up to the grace of heaven on my behalf and make Chen Yu watch, Tingyu has no heart to rely on merit and arrogance - in fact, there is no merit at all - let alone rely on the old and sell the old. Even if I am punished now, I don't think it is enough to cover my guilt, and I ask the Holy God to see the candle and punish him severely, thinking that it is the ring of the ministers. ”

"Old man, these words are exempt." Ah Gui glanced at Heshen's shadow outside the window, and said with a smile: "Even if you just asked to retire to Tongcheng for retirement, I don't think I need to mention it." The emperor is actually kind to you, and saying this is obviously hypocritical. Remember when you were young, you believed that 'ten thousand words are better than one silence', and students thought it was still desirable. ”

He Shen listened to it outside and secretly thought to himself, and everyone said that Ah Gui was a talented and intelligent all-rounder, and his name was really true. Just these words, in fact, there is not a sentence that is not rejecting Zhang Tingyu, warning him of those insincere words, and with coercion, but there is no trace of a needle hidden in the cotton, and it is also obvious that he is considerate and warm, and he does not lose his status as a royal minister...... I can't help but praise: This is true knowledge, true knowledge!

He Shen was listening to his feelings, Ji Yun coughed lightly and spoke, but his tone was not as gentle as Ah Gui, and his solemnity was sincere and serious: "Hengchen Lao Xiangguo, I am a junior who is a new student, I was taught by reading at an early age, and my father and teacher taught us as a model for scholars." It is really a high mountain, and the scenery stops. Today's events have come to this point, and it is really unexpected. Can you listen to a few words of advice from your students? ”

"The old man doesn't dare to be." Zhang Tingyu's face was wrinkled like walnut skin and didn't move, and he said coldly: "I am a person who treats sins, and the past is not to be mentioned." Han retreats from the cloud, 'My teacher is also the way, and the husband knows that he was born in me? —I wish to hear the teachings of Mr. Wen. Ji Yun leaned over the chair and said, "Duo Cheng Jiana!" That's what Lord Gui said. Everyone in the world knows that the old man is hardworking and the king has been slackwarm all his life. You've seen all your family properties, except for the products of the Imperial Field, as a Zaisuke, you're not luxurious and rich at all, so you're a righteous person. In the eyes of the students, after the old man lived in the idle consultant, he committed the disease of being careless and greedy, and sometimes he thought about his own affairs, and he thought less about the affairs of the emperor for the society, and after his death, the famous ancestors and grandchildren thought more, so they thought about their hard work in the past, and now they are not as good as what they lost in the past, so they have a heart of care. The ancients said, 'Old and quit', that is really a wise saying through the ages. Do you think about it? ”

This was said so honestly and mercilessly, even Ah Gui couldn't help but change color, and moved his body uneasily. Zhang Tingyu has been a prime minister for more than 40 years, not to mention junior students like Ji Yun, the new ministers, even the old princes of the Kangxi Dynasty, have always been solemn and respectful, and their words are inferior to the teacher. But after all, his heart was as strict as the city government, so he listened quietly to Ji Yun's words, and said with a dry smile: "If you talk about reasoning, I have admired you for a long time." I can't, and I don't dare to refute you, I don't even know that I can wait for these three generations of talented holy lords? You are a person who has read all the three tombs, five classics, eight suo and nine hills, and now you are repairing the four libraries of the whole book, and there is an article by me in the imperial history of Jinkui, which is said to be 'precept'. You're a busy person, so I'm afraid you may not have time to read. ”

"How dare students not read the old article!" Ji Yun had already remembered as soon as he pitched. He had already heard that this Zhang Tingyu did not accept Qianlong's punishment of him at all, and if he was so hard-minded, the future disaster would be even more unpredictable. Because of the smile: "It seems to be the one in "On the Three Elders and Five Watches". There is also the old minister who wrote "The Story of Chengde Ju" in Chengde Summer Resort. Student Meng Lang took the liberty of asking the old minister to read and self-review these two articles, or better yet—of course, students also have to read them again. Even if the government is in power, it will be of great benefit to read it. ”

According to the "three old and five more" from the "Rite Wen Wang Shizi", it means that the upright, rigid and soft old ministers (three elders) should know five things, that is, "appearance, speech, sight, hearing, thinking", the elder ministers who prepare the virtue of the three or five virtues, the Son of Heaven should "raise him with his father and brother" to demonstrate filial piety in the world. Kangxi Dynasty famous minister Tang Bin to Shi retired, the Holy Ancestor quoted this ancient rite, said that Tang Bin enjoyed this kind of preferential treatment, Zhang Tingyu was just into the cardinal at that time, deeply afraid that Tang Bin would be blessed and mishaving, wrote the article "On the Three Old and Five Changes" to understand the Holy Ancestor, that the times have changed, the situation is different, and the "rite" law should also be adapted, thinking that "in today's world, no one can be this gift". Tang Bin has been honored for a lifetime, and his nickname "Wenzheng" is the crown of all numbers. But it has been a long time since the incident, Zhang Tingyu himself has forgotten the main purpose of the article, and only remembers the original meaning of "three old and five more". When Agent Yun mentioned it, he immediately knew that he had hit his foot with a stone, and immediately became uneasy, and said: "In Renchen, naturally you should resign." In the monarchy, there is another reason. Well...... How dare I call myself that! I want to be the emperor first...... If I don't talk about this, in short, I have made mistakes again and again, and I have failed the grace of the Holy Lord. Thunder and rain and dew, let the Lord wield. I am convicted. ”

"Don't be upset, old man." Although Ah Gui didn't fully understand their conversation, he also saw that Zhang Tingyu looked embarrassed, and said that the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, but his face was full of respect on the surface, and said: "We are not under orders, but students visit the teacher and have a heart-to-heart relationship in private-" Before the words were finished, I heard the sound of boots outside the courtyard, and looked through the door, but it was Qianlong's only younger brother and Prince Hongday who came into the courtyard. The three of them hurriedly got up to greet each other, and He Shen had already bowed to the ground and kowtowed. The eunuchs and officials guarding the courtyard also knelt down and said in unison: "Say hello to the prince!" ”

Hongtian is thirty-four or five years old, a little too thin, but his complexion is very good, he walks with a windy foot, and he is not sick at all, but he has already done three "funerals" for himself - and the general banner god advocates a funeral feast, and the general white paper curtain seals the door. The "dead man" sat alone in the funeral shed, listening to the fake howls of his family, and munching on himself as if no one was around. It is the famous "absurd prince" of the Qianlong Dynasty. There were ten Qianlong brothers, and only this one brother had grown up, and he was very cowardly, but he handed over the simple and easy things to him to do, and never looked for him for the important economic affairs of the military state. Occasionally, if he makes a mistake, he only talks privately with his brother, and never openly hurts his face. It's just that this Hongtian little thing is uninhibited, and the slightly bigger things are not confused at all, so the absurdity is absurd, and the imperial historians only discuss privately, but they can't find any major faults, and no one dares to rap in front of Qianlong.

It was the first time for He Shen to see such a high rank, and he thought that he didn't know how to be noble, honorable, and respectful of the law. peeked over, but saw Hongday's shaved and shiny head, a braid coiled around his neck twice, a thick indigo shirt did not cover his knees, but he was wearing azure silk pants, the trousers were rolled up high, the bare feet were washed white, and he was pedaling on the outcropping grass shoes, and he walked with a kicking and tapping sound. If you look closely, there is a big iron wrench on each of the two big toes! He Shen couldn't help but bow his head and snicker. Hongtian saw it at a glance, fanned the straw hat in his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Fuck you, don't dare to laugh yet!" Zhang Tingyu had already knelt down to ask for peace and said, "The criminal minister Zhang Tingyu asked the prince how well!" ”

"Good, good!" Hongyang grinned, and picked up Zhang Tingyu, "I didn't remove you from your position!" The emperor is still a 'Hengchen'[1]

Well-Gui should get up, too. Ji Xiaolan, what are you laughing at? Did you owe me a word? ”

Ji Yun got up and hit Qian'er again, and said with a smile: "I'm laughing at the prince's outfit, fisherman's cultivation and reading are not like four." These people are also very familiar with you, not eunuchs or family members - this is Kwai Guan, this is Bao Guan'er, this is Keiguan...... It's the girls in the family drama troupe who are dressed as men. Also, what do you do with two wrenches on your feet? "Please, please, it's hot outside, let's talk inside." Hongtian smiled, and while entering the house, he kept talking: "I'm here to visit the door, and I don't pass on the decree, is this hot day pretending to be a prince?" These little girls, they don't go out of the gate in my garden, they don't step out of the second door, they are stuffy, and they want to walk with me on the street - I say you dress up! Lo and behold, it works! Chang Sui doesn't have this charm, the eunuch doesn't have this voice, Ying Qiyan talks to me, and mentions the spirit! Wearing a wrench on his feet is the prescription that the imperial doctor said, and his heart is hot these days, and he has to tie his big toe with a thread. I thought, wouldn't it be better to use a wrench? I put on the ......" said at one end, sat down at the other end, the servant of the Zhang family brought a cup of tea early, Hongtian only took a sip, frowned and said: "The water is not good, it's not from Yuquan Mountain, and the tea leaves are also aged - people, isn't that the thing, it's expensive to be suitable-right, Zhang Xiang?" He suddenly asked Zhang Tingyu.

His laughter was mixed up, and the originally solemn and dull atmosphere was suddenly swept away. Zhang Tingyu's mood was also much lighter, he sighed, smiled to himself and said, "The prince is really joking." I am at this point, who will pull the jade spring water to me? What else is the new tea and the old tea? Fang Cai also talked to the two of you, official, I am determined to resign, I want to go back to my hometown in Tongcheng, and I will fish and cultivate among the beautiful mountains and rivers. The emperor can be gracious, it is my blessing. He paused, and then said: "The original governor of Henan, Wang Shijun, do you know?" During his reign, he lived in eight seats, and the official frame was the largest. Last year, Qian Du went to Guizhou and made a detour to visit him, and now he has really become an old woodcutter, seventy years old, with an ax in his waist, a flat shoulder on his shoulder, a dark face, and calloused hands. When asked about being an official, I can't remember anything...... Raise the body, live in a relaxed atmosphere, the situation has changed, people do not change, in a few years you will go to Tongcheng, I may not be a fisherman! He laughed.

"Don't go anywhere, the emperor is reluctant to let you go, and I'm so idle that I want to have a playmate!" Hongtian listened carefully, and after listening to it, he smiled again, "Right and wrong start from my heart, this is what you taught me in the early years - you and I are not free people, if you want to be suitable, you must first meet the emperor's wishes, right?" - Don't always be so depressed and annoyed. Even if Beijing is Tongcheng, you fish and I Qiao, Dalang Temple, Xishan, Xihaizi, Yuanmingyuan...... Let's go around, take advantage of the ability to move, maybe go to Tanzhe Temple to live for a few days, and play chess with the old monk. I am the prince, and you are still your forty-year prime minister of peace. How comfortable, how fun it is - in the Book of Changes, it is said that 'good luck and repentance are all born and moved', isn't it what you often say? - If we don't 'move', it's all a blessing! After saying that, he laughed, and ordered the maid who came with him, "Huaguan, call the eunuch in charge here to come in!" The flower official agreed and went.

Hongday's appearance is profligate, but he is clever and shrewd on the inside, and Zhang Tingyu knows it well. Ji Yun and Ah Gui were the first to receive the teaching, but they were secretly surprised in their hearts. Ah Gui glanced at the eunuch who followed Huaguan in, and said with a smile: "People say that you are a chic prince, and you are really free and vulgar!" ”

"When you become the Minister of Military Aircraft, you still have to make a sycophant? It's 'ridiculous', sycophancy! Hongday's smile did not change, and he turned his face and asked Ji Yun: "I asked you to find me a complete set of "Dream of Red Mansions", did you get it?" You are in charge of collecting books from all over the world, and you can't even do this idea? Zhang Tingyu said on the side: "Ruocheng has thirty manuscripts. I heard that Fu Liuye and Prince Yi's mansion have a full book. It's not easy for the prince to see it? Hongday's head shook like a rattle and said, "It's not all, it's not all!" I'm going to read the whole book. Old Ji, you get it for me. ”

Ji Yun was tired of hearing "Dream of Red Mansions". But Hongguang said that this is the third time, and there is no bigger article behind it? was alert, and said tentatively: "Dream of Red Mansions is not a classic, a history, a sub-collection. I've admired it for a long time, but I've never read it, but like "Liao Zhai", it's just a genius pen for people to joke about, and there is no serious word about the warning. Wang Ye has to see, students pay attention to the visit, there is no complete set on the market, I heard that Cao Xueqin's widow is still in Beijing, I tried to check. Hongtian nodded, but asked the eunuch who came in: "Are you the head here?" What is your name? ”

"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "The slave's name is Gao Fengwu!" ”

Hongtian shook his head slightly imperceptibly and said, "Baoding people? Your parents are really capable, give you such an elegant name, are you worthy? Gao Fengwu kowtowed again and again and said, "Yes-slaves are not worthy!" Listening to the slave's mother, the slave's father had a dream when the slave fell into the grass, and a phoenix fell on my plane tree, so he gave this ......" Ji Yun smiled: "Fortunately, fortunately! If your father dreams of chickens flying on the fence, you should call Gao ** (fence)! ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Hongyang said, "I'll ask the Internal Affairs Office to change your name when I go back." Eunuchs, don't call them so nicely. - I'll give you a few things, and you will have to do it right away. ”

"Yes!"

"All the rooms here are opened, and all the documents and files are folded and transferred to the imperial history."

"Wow!"

"The people of the Internal Affairs Office, as well as the people of the Shuntian Mansion, are all withdrawn from the Zhang Mansion compound, and they are not allowed to enter the courtyard to disturb them, they are not allowed to make it difficult to check the officials who came to visit Zhang Xiang, and they are not allowed to prevent the people of the Zhang Mansion from entering and leaving. Confiscate the messed up private property and belongings, and return them to their original places. ”

This is actually the lifting of all the prohibitions of the Zhang Mansion: this is not allowed, that is not allowed, what is that group of eunuchs guarding the gate to make a living? Gao Fengwu couldn't help but snort, promised "yes", and asked boldly: "......Who is the messenger of the minions?"

"It's your fucking egg!" Hongyang smiled: "Look at what the Prime Minister's Mansion has become?" Picking up is enough for you to work for a while—oh, by the way, Zhang Xiang has two truckloads of jade spring water a day, and it is still supplied as usual, and this messenger will be yours for the time being. As for the future, there will naturally be a will, and this is not something you have to worry about. ”

"Wow!"

"Get out!"

"Wow!"

Hongyang got up and said goodbye to Zhang Tingyu. He earnestly instructed many words such as "take care of your honor", "always ask the emperor for peace", "obey orders on time", and "be quiet". Before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Shame, the eunuch of the Yangxin Palace, come in, and asked with a smile: "Wang Bashame, what are you here for?" Does the Master have a will? Wang Yan smiled at Hongtian and said: "The emperor went to Yue Zhongqi's mansion and asked the servants to pass on Ah Gui Zhongtang to the past, and ran all over the six departments before he knew that Zhang Xiang was here." This asks Gui Zhongtang to hurry over. ”

"Yes!" Ah Gui hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'll go now!" Hongyang said, "Ride my horse—quickly." When do you go back to Xihuamen to sit in a sedan chair? Ah Gui agreed, bowed to Zhang Tingyu and hurried away. Zhang Tingyu said with emotion: "I entered the south study at his age...... It's time for the next generation to contribute......"

Hongtian only smiled, but said to Ji Yun: "Send you two Jinhua hams, and send the words I wrote quickly." I heard that you are going to invite Ma Er's nephews to eat and drink, don't forget this king! As for "Dream of Red Mansions", you are biased. Everyone has different likes and dislikes, and I think "Dream of Red Mansions" can be divided into spring and autumn with your "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang". Don't be suspicious, haven't you heard people say, 'If a scholar doesn't read 'Dream of Red Mansions, it's in vain to read all the poems and books'? Some people say that the absurd prince loves to be vassal. I mean, it's better to be a vassal than a vassal philistine, right? The three of them stood at the door of the house and talked for a moment, and then they dispersed without mentioning it.
