Zhu Yu listened to him talk about the old case for no reason, although he still listened, his eyes showed a little impatience.

Shen Zetang suddenly stopped, with a faint smile.

For a while, there was silence in the hall, each with their own thoughts.

I don't know when on the threshold, a yellow warbler flew on the threshold, jumped unstoppable, and was startled by the sound of hurried footsteps, straight to the branch of an ancient locust, like an arrow.

But it was Xu Jing who came from outside, and only said that the eunuch Liu Gongcheng was in the ministry, and he was anxious to find Shen Erye everywhere, which was a very important matter.

Shen Zetang was not in a hurry, carefully put down the tea cup in his hand, got up to say goodbye to Zhu Yu, and took Xu Jing towards the door, this time he was really leaving.

"Lord Shen doesn't want to mention half a sentence about this king." Looking at the tall and clear back, walking in the breeze, Zhu Yu lowered his eyes, repeatedly suppressed unhappiness, and failed to hold it at the bottom, biting the word "this king" to pieces.

Shen Zetang paused, looked back for a while, his expression was calm, and he only mentioned what he had just said: "Although it is a founding legacy, there are many interesting places to go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may wish to ponder one or two in his spare time, it will be of great benefit." ”

Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his heartstrings twitched, and he raised his head sharply to ask again, but the front of the hall was already empty, and where could he still see the person's half-traced shadow.

Out of Jingyi Pavilion, Shen Zetang glanced at Xu Jing and said lightly: "Gonggong Liu has always been looking for people, he will only come to see him slowly, and he doesn't need to be anxious, you have made a mistake in lying this time." ”

Xu Jing was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from the second master!" Look at you and the prince looking at each other, don't say a word, I'm in a hurry, and I want to relieve the siege for the second master. He asked again: "The second master has no intention of attaching himself to the prince, so why do you need to mention him more?" ”

Shen Zetang looked at Xu Jing, he had never been in officialdom, so he didn't know that there were many helpless things, but he could come casually.

When he said it, he didn't understand, so he simply kept silent and didn't answer him.

Xu Jing knew that he shouldn't ask.

After a while, he couldn't help but say: "The second master said so vaguely, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understand the deep meaning?" He stayed in the west and listened to what they said.

Xu Jing understood the meaning of the old case that Shen Er said, the emperor named General Wang as the Duke of Moguo, rewarded the bitter cold and barren northern part of the desert to the fiefdom, and secretly demoted him, and gave the famous general Hu Qi as the Duke of Liangguo with Taizu, which is similar to the same situation.

The emperor's killing machine is gradually born, but the old minister is afraid of falling into the world's handle, so he doesn't dare to move.

At this time, if the prince wants to show his merits, it is really a good time, he only needs to beat the snake with the stick, find some evidence to join hands with the official, and set him up in the name of a felony such as rebellion, which must be the will of the people and the hope of the people.

"At that time, people didn't know Lingyun Mu, and they waited until Lingyun was high." Shen Zetang said in a deep voice: "You can't underestimate him, if I remember correctly, I went to Zhou Shangshu's mansion that day to mourn, and Xia Wanchun Chao Xu Ge Lao also asked how to guess the holy will caused by General Wang. ”

Xu Jing said: "The second master is not mistaken, Xia Wanchun was reprimanded by Xu Ge Lao that day for not knowing taboos, but he turned to care about the second master's marriage to his wife. ”

Shen Zetang frowned slightly: "Where does he really care, it's just a matter of distraction." However, Xu Ge is always publicized, so that he can point out the country for others. This time, he was silent and a little strange. ”

Xu Jing seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked: "Maybe Xu Ge Lao knows that the prince will go to ask him for advice, so he simply borrows to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors to avoid this place, and I don't know." ”

Shen Zetang's eyes were cold, far away in front of the terrace of Yilun Hall, there were few newly admitted prisoners, and the miscellaneous servants neatly cleaned up the tables and chairs, lifted their hands and shoulders, carried dustpans and long brooms, and sprinkled and swept the ground amid the shouts and shouts of the prison officials.

Then he looked at the sundial, counted the hours, and instructed Xu Jing: "Xia Wanchun is the right attendant of the military department, and now it seems that it must be used by the prince. You send a message to King Hao, before the Queen Mother's birthday and his departure from Beijing, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and it is advisable to keep a low profile. ”

As soon as Xu Jing agreed, they originally walked along the shade of the hidden trees, but after leaving the Taixue Gate, the trees gradually loosened, and the road became wide and clear.

Shen Zetang was followed by more than a dozen guards, all of whom were tall and athletic, and they all walked solemnly with knives, which was really eye-catching.

There have been three or five past prisoners who looked at him from time to time, and there was no lack of fear or envy in his eyes.

Shen Zetang felt bad, thought about it slightly, and simply turned around and entered the Jingzhi Gate.

Xu Jing understood its meaning, and the gate was the Confucian Temple, where on weekdays except for the sacrificial ceremony or the emperor's arrival and other grand events, it has always been quiet and uninhabited, so he asked the commander to find Shen Huan, and drove the carriage and horse to Dacheng Gate to wait, and the commander received the order, and each left without mentioning.

.........

Shun Yu was in a good mood at this time, walking with his hands behind his back and walking lightly.

The afternoon evening is approaching, the warm sun is half-set, and the afterglow is still intense, reflecting the courtyard with a golden yellow.

Inquire all the way, only to find the retreat door, there is a prisoner in front of the door hesitantly looking around, twenty years old, two heads taller than her, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wide mouth and square lips, although it looks not beautiful, but it is not rough, but it is very good-looking.

Shun Yu peeked at him, he also looked at her, looked up and down a little, and strode over and asked with a smile: "This classmate is a new student today, his name is Feng Shunyu, the word is Fengjiu, and he has been assigned to the sixteenth number of Zhaishe Dingzi?" ”

Shun Yu was secretly surprised, and replied politely without showing his face.

The man hurriedly said: "My name is Fu Heng, the word Yangming, and I am in a house with you, and your scholar Qin Xing is still taking care of it in the house, because I haven't seen you for a long time, I am anxious, and I want to look around, I want him to be familiar with this, so I asked you about your general appearance, and came out to find it for him, but I happened to meet you here." ”

This person's name is so familiar ......!

"Are you Fu Heng who lives in Baodafang Meichao Hutong?" Shun Yu asked with some surprise.

Fu Heng was stunned, with a surprised expression: "You're right, I don't know when and where Feng Jiu met me?" ”

After speaking, he was a little apologetic: "I really blame me for being bad, but I forgot about you." ”

"I haven't seen you yet. Just because my uncle is an envoy of the Tai Hospital, he has some friendship with your father, and he knows that you are a son, and he mentioned you in order to admonish me to study. ”

Shun Yu bent his lips and sighed nonsense, sighing what a good day it was, it was still Liu's entrustment, and he was worried about how to find him among the thousands of prisoners, but it didn't take any effort to get it.

Fu Heng saw that Shun Yu's white face and watery eyes and red lips were thin, but when he smiled, he seemed to be a hundred flowers blooming, and his heart was soft and inexplicable, so he also smiled: "No wonder!" My father served as a foreign officer in the Department of Officials, and he had a friendship with your uncle. ”

said that he was a little ashamed, scratching his forehead: "Don't take me as an example, although you have to make a name for yourself, you will try to fall first, I really expect to study hard, and next year's spring will be on the list." ”
