The house of Lord Zuo Xiang is very magnificent, located in the widest Changping Street in the capital, the whole mansion occupies half of the street, but usually the door is not open, only on the fifteenth day of the new year, the main gate will be opened to ask the gods to enter the house to protect.

At that time, the monks and Taoists practiced on both sides, and it was not lively.

The side gate is open in Yongle Lane, and a stone archway stands in front of the house. It is said that this is a hundred years ago, Emperor Rentai commended the fourth and third princes of the Qian University scholars, and the heroes from generation to generation.

Now that Scholar Qian has long been gone, this house has also been transferred to the hands of the hot Zuo Xiang.

The archway is still there, but the glory is gone, and now it is only used as a place to tie the horse and park.

Tan Shangshu came to the archway and was reining in the horse, and saw Steward Meng of Zuoxiang's family sending guests out.

The guest turned his back to him and couldn't see clearly, but the man hurriedly boarded the carriage and took his leave.

When Steward Meng saw Tan Shangshu, he immediately grabbed two steps, took Tan Shangshu's hand and asked in, "Why did you come, my family has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Tan Shangshu said hard, and hurriedly followed Steward Meng into Zuo Xiang's mansion.

Along the way, he didn't have the heart to look at those gorgeous carved corridors, nor did he have the spirit to look at those free-range cranes, and the hand holding the music chapter was holding it tighter and tighter, and he walked in.

Lord Zuo Xiang is the father-in-law of the current emperor, who holds military power, and he is often to blame for speaking in front of him, and he has to be very careful to not travel to the pool.

The emperor fished there leisurely, but it was the left minister who looked like a court here.

Not to mention the layers of guards at the door, even this inner courtyard is also five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, looking at those guards with sharp silver spears in their hands, those who are slightly timid have a chill all over their bodies.

Even those who are used to seeing big scenes will feel a chill in their backs when they walk here.

I remember that the first time Bachelor Wenyuan Gechao came to see Zuo Xiang, he fainted when he entered the atrium, and it was a joke in Beijing at that time.

This left phase and the right phase who have led troops outside for many years, as well as the Taishi who has children all over the court and the opposition, can be described as the troika of the imperial court, pulling the increasingly shaky Hongyin Dynasty forward.

After Ruoshui stayed away from Haojing, he felt that it was a rare relief to never have to look at the faces of the three old men again.

If you become the emperor yourself, you must choose some young and handsome officials, those old guys know how to play with authority, and there are a few who do things sincerely, and occasionally do things to keep their glory and wealth.

Xiao Qiu brought some delicious food from time to time, and once he also learned from Ji Fansheng's appearance and stewed Angelica's chicken soup.

But if the water only smells the smell, he says, "Take it away, I can't drink it, how much angelica you put in, I have always hated this smell." ”

Xiao Qiu was far away, and Ruoshui was still waving it with his hand, as if the smell was really so unbearable.

The adjutant general Ren Zhixing saw it and persuaded her with a smile, "Why should General Shan lose his temper, Xiao Qiu also wants to make up for you."

In the battle of Xiangjun, General Shan fought beautifully, but you didn't close your eyes for three days and three nights, I was afraid that you would hurt your qi and blood. ”

Ruo Shui said indifferently: "What's that, when I was a swordsman before, I didn't close my eyes for five days and five nights." Is it expensive to still be delicate now? ”

"Yes, General Shan is very talented, and his martial arts are far superior to ours, and his subordinates are just showing their hearts. I heard Xiao Qiu say, are you going to go to sea? What can we do with our brothers? ”

Ren Zhixing's tone was full of worry, and he finally found an errand in the Jinghe Army, but the boss ran away without saying anything, and came to Xiangjun to quell the rebellion without authorization.

Although it is very good for the people, if you are investigated from above, it is not enough to cut off your own heads.

Ruoshui got up and waved the sword in his hand, as if he wanted to break through the sky to find a way.

"Do you know why our Borneo is plagued by frequent seas, with major floods every few years?"

"The terrain of Holy Borneo is like this, although it is blessed by the snail ancestors, but it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, where there is no reason for wind and waves."

Ren Zhixing represents most of the naïve views, and feels that disasters are also destined by God.

"There have been floods every year in recent years, and this is also because of the terrain?"

Ruoshui inadvertently raised his eyebrows, as if he had gained insight into the big secret between heaven and earth, but faced a group of foolish and ignorant eyes.

Ren Zhixing is also from everyone's background, so he has naturally heard of the story of the court, especially in the fifteen years since Emperor An Lie, it has really been flooded every year, and the Yuzhi Mountain has repeatedly made strange roars.

Everyone said that there were no monsters in the mountains, and it was really scary.

"You mean? It's not a force of nature, it's a ghost? Is there really a monster at the foot of Yuzhi Mountain? ”

Ruoshui didn't speak, his eyes were level at the unknowable vast sea ahead, "Damati, you know, they all say that the real secret of Borneo is hidden there, and I want to go there to see." ”

"General Shan, you really have the world in mind, and you are much stronger than the three-horse carriage in the court. His subordinates admired and were willing to follow the general. ”

Ruoshui had already made up her mind to travel overseas, just waiting for the Jade Dragon to be born, but at the moment she didn't know where the Jade Dragon was and what the Jade Dragon would look like to meet her.

But Bai Heng's letter gave her new hope.

When my father was dying, he was vague, saying only that when Jade Dragon was born, she should have gone overseas to Damati to find out the true secrets of Borneo.

And only by understanding that secret can the floods in Borneo be truly peaceful.

Just when Ruoshui was full of ambition and waiting for the jade dragon, Ji Fansheng was still bored in the royal city of Haojing.

After the little eunuch left, Ji Fansheng remembered that several cousins of Concubine Yu Guifei had entered the palace to play today, so it was better to go and have a good time.

Those little girls Yuxue are cute, and they don't think of themselves as a high-ranking emperor every time they play right, maybe they are still young and don't understand that the court is the most dangerous place, and the emperor is the source of danger.

This day is the fifth day of the first lunar month, and it is the day when the women of the inner life are visited.

The queen presided over the audience ceremony in the Hanyuan Palace, and the women were ordered to enter the palace according to the order to greet the queen.

Hanyuan Hall is condescending, the two wings are open, the left Xiangluan and the right perched phoenix, warped and winged, the momentum is magnificent.

The women of the inner life supported each other, and when they walked up to the dragon tail road, they were always impressed by the huge building in front of them, and while panting, they bowed down in fear, and the majesty of the royal family swelled to the sky at this time.

Among the women, there are those who are alive and want to sit on that side one day, instead of climbing those steps here.

The new emperor has only been on the throne for a year, and many of the concubines' positions are vacant, and the queen and the concubine have not yet given birth to a prince, so the expansion of the harem has not been put on the agenda.

The emperor is also young and not in a hurry.

These aristocratic girls have an empty desire to cling, and they have no choice but to send them to the east wind.

But when the bright young girls gather in one place, it is naturally full of spring and can't stop a piece of thoughts.
