Chapter Seventy-Seven: Shen Chasing

Today I went to attend the owners' meeting of the community, to discuss the matter of repainting the exterior wall, now the air quality is not good, there are several black rains every year, with the best paint brush, the exterior wall will still be dirty in two years......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” this is a dividing line calling for the protection of the environmentβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At this time, if anyone in the know is watching, they should think that the situation between these two people is strange. The lord has no intention of speaking in general, and those who are subordinates are not willing to be gentle and soft, and from time to time they sneer at each other, and the words they say are extremely harsh. But if there is hostility between them, they are both frank and open, and they say everything they say, and they do not hide suspicion of each other.

But fortunately, the two of them still feel good about the current way of getting along, and they have no disgust.

"May I ask Your Highness, how is Tingsheng doing?" Mei Changsu took his hand behind him and asked lightly.

"Very good, both literary and martial arts have benefited, and his heart is becoming more and more stable, and the people in the house like him very much." King Jing's eyes flickered a few times, and finally he couldn't help but ask, "I've always wanted to ask you, you care so much about Tingsheng, did you know my eldest brother before?" ”

"I care about Tingsheng, of course, because I want to please Your Highness."

King Jing was a little annoyed by Mei Changsu's not salty and non-salty tone, and said in an aggravated tone: "I'm asking you seriously!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi......" Mei Changsu's eyes floated as he looked at the black smoke curling up next to him, "I have always admired him, and I have thought about stretching my ambitions under his command, but it's a pity that I ......" At this point, he suddenly stopped, gave King Jing a look, turned around and left quickly.

King Jing was stunned, turned his head and looked in the direction Mei Changsu had just looked, only to see a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old official walking through the tent with great difficulty, raising his hand to King Jing to greet him as he walked.

"I have seen and seen His Royal Highness...... because of his slightly chubby figure, the official was already a little panting when he approached, and arched his hands, "Such a tragedy, thanks to His Highness's timely appearance, I happened to go out today, so I came here at this time, and the next aftermath work will be taken over by the household department as soon as possible, please rest assured, Your Highness." ”

"It's all the people's business, and they divide one another." King Jing smiled and secretly glanced in the direction where Mei Changsu had disappeared. …… Did he see Shen chasing after him before leaving? Don't you want these loyal officials you are befriending to find out about the relationship between the two?

"It seems that I saw His Highness talking to someone about things just now, why did you leave? Who is it? Because Shen Chai was related to the clan, and because he had a deed with King Jing, the two of them got along more easily, so he asked casually, and he didn't think about whether he should ask or not.

King Jing hesitated slightly, and finally said calmly: "That person is Su Zhe, you must have heard his name, and he has been famous in the capital recently." ”

"Oh?" Shen Chai looked on tiptoe, of course he couldn't see anything, "That's the famous Qilin talent?" It's a pity that I didn't see it clearly. I heard that he has recently been working for His Royal Highness King Yu, why do you know him well, Your Highness? ”

"I don't know, he has come to my house." King Jing said lightly, "This person really lives up to the name of a talented man, and his behavior and knowledge are above ordinary people." You have always loved Cai, and if you have the opportunity to fellowship with him in the future, you will definitely break your heart. ”

"I just don't know what his heart is besides being talented?" Shen Chai sincerely persuaded him, "It is said that most of this person's talent is in the power and scheming, and His Highness has dealings with such a person." Or should we be more vigilant. ”

"Well, I'll be careful." King Jing nodded, and didn't say much.

"But what is he doing on such an occasion?" Shen Chai looked around and left and right, "Could it be that he came down to inspect the situation for His Royal Highness King Yu?" ”

"You don't know, this Mr. Su has always been well aware of the situation in the capital, and it is not surprising that he will come to see such a big movement." King Jing's expression became solemn, "Don't be curious about him first, this matter will alarm the Holy Hearing tomorrow, have you thought about what to do?" ”

Shen Chai's expression also calmed down, and said, "There's nothing to think about, just report it to the truth." Lou Zhijing's accounts over the years, I have already cleared it, and I have also traced the secret account between him and His Royal Highness the Prince, and I won't tell you that there was an assassin in my house yesterday. ”

King Jing was slightly startled and grabbed his shoulder: "Then are you injured?" ”

Shen Chai was moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "I was born with good fortune, and I have always turned evil into good fortune." But the assassin is very powerful, those three-legged cat guards in my house are not opponents at all, fortunately, a master came out of nowhere to save me, but he beat the assassin away and left, and he didn't leave a name, and I don't know who saved me until now. ”

"Can you see your face?"

"He was covered with his face, but his eyes were big and bright, and he should be very young."

"Then this secret book in your hand ......"

"I handed it over to the Hanging Mirror Division early in the morning and asked them to present it directly to the emperor. As long as the evidence is okay, it's useless to kill me now. Shen Chai smiled optimistically, "That's why I dare to walk around like this." ”

"Don't be careless, even if you don't kill it, revenge is a terrible two words." King Jing Zhengse said, "The household department was tossed like this by Lou Zhijing, it all depends on you to set things right, this is a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such a heavy burden, if you have an accident, who can afford to wait for leisure?" ”

"I am so grateful to Your Highness for such love." Shen Chai sighed, "As a minister of the society, I should not be afraid of difficulties, and I will not give up my life lightly." It's a pity that the general trend of the court is all power and scheming, and it is difficult for people who are solid for the country to come out, that is, Your Highness, you ......"

"All right," King Jing cut him off, "we said we wouldn't talk about that. Finding out this case is not only a great achievement for you, but also the beginning of a catastrophe, I really don't feel at ease about the guards in your house, but it's not appropriate to directly transfer people from my house, do you mind if I recommend a few people from outside? You can rest assured, they must all be trustworthy heroes. ”

"What did Your Highness say, am I a person who can't tell the difference?" Shen Chai thanked him gratefully, and the two chatted a few more words, because they both had a lot of things to do, so they broke up, King Jing went back to the house first, and Shen Chai took a few officials to deal with follow-up affairs on the spot.

The aftermath of this loud bang in the private artillery workshop was amazing. Although the part related to the prince is slightly obscured, the facts are the facts. Emperor Liang was furious, and ordered the prince to move to Guijia Palace for self-examination. Due to the fact that nearly 30 officials were hung up in this case, Shen Chai was officially appointed as the secretary of the household department, and in addition to daily affairs, he was also ordered to revise the money and grain system to plug the omissions.

From the outbreak to the end of this incident, it took only five days, and because of the conclusive evidence, even the crown prince himself was difficult to refute, and the other courtiers naturally could not find a reason to decompose for him. Except for Concubine Yue, who cried in the harem, no one dared to intercede for the prince. However, there is one person's attitude that is evocative throughout the process. That is the prince's nemesis, King Yu. It stands to reason that he is obviously the happiest prince to fall so big and fight, and it is simply inconsistent with his temperament not to chase after him to make up for two sentences, but what is surprising is that this time he does not know what guidance he received, and he is abnormal, not only has he not said a word from beginning to end, but even restrained the officials of his own faction, so that there is no situation in the court that takes the opportunity to attack madly*. The wisdom of this hand is to make this case, at least on the surface, completely irrelevant to the party struggle, and it is all a dirty thing done by the prince's own moral and political inconsistency, and Emperor Liang did not suspect whether the king did anything from it, and took all his anger on the prince.

Only a very few people know that on the day of the prince's move, King Yu happily personally selected many new gifts and ordered them to be sent to Su Zhe's mansion, although they did not accept them in the end.

This ugly case of private artillery made Emperor Liang's mood extremely bad, but at the same time, it also made the old man who had passed the age of the sixtieth year very tired, so that Meng Zhi replied to him at the end of the month to plead guilty, saying that when he failed to find out the murder of the inner prison before the deadline, he did not have much emotional fluctuations, but after the fine was fined for three months and the two deputy commanders of the forbidden army were replaced, the matter was not mentioned.

King Jing was indeed accused of misappropriation of military funds by the Ministry of War, and the day after he petitioned, Shen Chai, an upstart from the household department, gave an impassioned speech in the court, angrily defending King Jing. Although Xiao Jingyan has a stubborn temperament, he has always been low-key, and his recent performance has been very good, and the number of people who have a good impression of him in the court is increasing day by day, and even Emperor Liang has gradually become less disgusted with him because the father and son have not mentioned the old things for many years. In this matter, Emperor Liang thought that King Jing was not at fault, not only did he not condemn him, but also praised him for "making a decision in case of trouble, which is really worrying for the court", and ordered him to make up a document. The military department didn't grasp the direction of the wind, and not to mention the dumb loss, and let the other party show a big face in vain, which made the prince's camp even worse.

After the spring equinox, the weather is warm like a day, the melting spring gradually rises on the branches, the suburbs are peach and apricot, the grass is grassy, and some people who can't wait have begun to take off their heavy winter clothes and run to the outside of the city. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin also came to make an appointment several times, but Mei Changsu was still afraid of the cold and was reluctant to go out, so the two had to play by themselves.

If you say that Jinling is a magnificent scene, there are many natures, suitable for spring viewing, there are the weeping willow curved bank of Fuxian Lake, the pear blossom slope of Wanyu Mountain and the Taoyuan ditch of Haishi Town. These three scenery are in Jingnan, so the official road out of Nanyue Gate is very lively, and there are even temporary markets on both sides, selling some snacks, tea, or handmade toys or something, and there are actually customers who come like clouds, and business is excellent.

On the way back to the city, Xiao Jingrui took a fancy to a group of fat dolls made of glazed clay, and felt that they had different looks, cute and cute, and planned to buy them back to give to his sister who was depressed due to childbirth. The stall owner was busy wrapping straw paper one by one and putting it in a small box, Yan Yujin felt thirsty and couldn't wait patiently, so he went to a tea stall to drink tea by himself.

After a while, Xiao Jingrui came over with a tied small box, carefully placed it on the table, and then sat down, and asked for a bowl of tea to drink slowly. Yan Yujin looked at the box, propped his chin and smiled: "Will Sister Qi like it?" ”

"This doll is so cute, even I like it, Xiaoqi must like it."

"You are really a good brother, and you always remember your sister when you come out. Xie Xu is going back to the academy tomorrow, why don't you buy something for him? ”

"He likes jade, I have already picked one out in Qi Lingzhai and sent it directly to his home, and now most of it has already arrived in his hands."

Yan Yujin said loudly: "I really can't find fault with you." Actually, you want Xie Xu to stay and spend your birthday before leaving, right? ”

"The third brother should pay attention to his studies, not to mention that it is only a few years." Xiao Jingrui smiled and glanced at him, "You want him to stay, so that he can be bullied and played, right?" ”

"He's almost stunned when he reads, and he looks down on this and that, I'll be stupid if I don't bully and bully, if he wants to be half as gentle as you."

"It's strange that our three brothers have different temperaments, so they're all the same." Xiao Jingrui lifted the teapot and added water for him, "Aren't you thirsty?" Drink it, it's not your brother, why are you in a hurry? ”

Yan Yujin patted his friend's shoulder hard, "He's not my brother, you are!" If he has no future interest, the person to worry about must be you, the big brother. ”

"Xie Xu will not be productive?" Xiao Jingrui smiled and said, "I'm afraid he's the most promising." If you say that our three brothers, the most unpromising person should be me, I can't do anything, and I have no intention of career, most of this life is dull, and I can't add glory to the lintel of the Xie family. ”

"Son's list, suddenly said so modestly, do you want to hook me to praise you?" Yan Yujin pursed his lips.

"In the past, the rivers and lakes competed for fame, but they were really deliberate. Now I just want to be quiet and peaceful, and I am a lot less spirited, and I will definitely not have me again in next year's son's list. ”

"It doesn't matter if you have it or not, as long as you have me, I still like this floating name, how handsome ......"

Xiao Jingrui couldn't help laughing, and was about to stab him twice, when the guest at the table next to him got up, shook off the big burden he was carrying, and almost swept the small box containing the clay doll to the ground, but fortunately, he was quick to catch it, and said twice: "Fortunately, fortunately." ”

"Isn't it just a mud doll, the stall is still there, and if it is broken, it is worth your nervousness?"

"Only this last set is left, where is it broken?" Xiao Jingrui carefully changed the box to a place, "Xiaoqi has been in a bad mood lately, I still want her to be happy looking at these dolls?" ”

"Always in a bad mood?" Yan Yujin's eyes deepened slightly, "It's because of ...... Brother Qingyao's illness, right? ”

"Yes," Xiao Jingrui sighed, "After Brother Qingyao suddenly fell ill last month, she has only improved slightly until now, although we all advised her to be relieved and said that it would be fine, but Xiaoqi is still inevitably worried." ”

"Brother Qingyao...... What kind of disease do you have? I remember seeing him fine the first day, and hearing that he was very sick the next day. ”

"The doctor said it was a disease of qi and blood coagulation, so just take care of it."

Yan Yujin looked at him deeply and spit out two words: "Do you believe it?" ”

Xiao Jingrui was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Qi and blood coagulation syndrome ......" Yan Yujin's smile was a little incomprehensible, "I have visited Brother Qingyao a few times, to be honest, you don't know ...... suspicions"

"My own brother, what are you suspicious of? Is Brother Qingyao suspicious of pretending to be sick? ”

Yan Yujin looked at him angrily, stopped going around in circles, and said simply, "Jing Rui, that's not a disease, that's an injury!" ”
