The day before the re-examination of the spring school, Wang Lisongguan of the literary school was reinstated.

That day, Wang Lisong was invited to have dinner at Wenxin Hall.

In the past few days, he has already roughly understood several major events that happened in Beijing after he was imprisoned, such as the Spring Festival fraud, the change of the Ministry of Rites, the change of Chengtianmen and a series of incidents.

In addition to Wang Lisong, Wenxintang also has a rare guest today.

Lu Yanchen.

The two had not seen each other for a few days, so after dinner they boiled a pot of wine in the courtyard and sat down under the tree and chatted.

"The night is cold, can you add a cloak to the sacrificial wine?" Lu Yanchen said with concern.

Wang Lisong shook his head, took the hot wine from the stove and poured it into the wine glasses of the two of them.

Lu Yanchen immediately got up and took the wine jug from his hand, and said respectfully, "Let the students come." ”

Wang Lisong was not polite to him, sat down on the stone bench, watched him pour wine, and handed it to himself.

He sniffed the aroma of the hot wine, enjoyed it all over his face, then took a sip and sighed, "Hey, it's been three months, and I just want to take this sip." ”

A smile appeared on Lu Yanchen's cold face: "The Shizhouchun of the family on the edge of the West Market, which came out of the cellar last year, I know that you like it, so I deliberately left two altars." ”

"Why didn't you find out that you were so filial before?" Wang Lisong took another sip of wine and said, "Filial piety is so filial that you can rob the prison." ”

He spoke so casually that he didn't raise his eyes, as if he was gossiping. The smile on Lu Yanchen's face instantly froze.

He immediately put down his wine glass, knelt down at the table with his clothes on his hand, and said, "The student knows that he is wrong. ”

Wang Lisong looked at him sideways, with a smile in his eyes, and asked, "I know it's wrong, but dare next time?" ”

Lu Yanchen subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, and he said stiffly: "The situation is urgent, so I have to make this decision." I don't think it will be so urgent in the future. ”

"That is, if it is urgent, will this decision be made?" He squinted at Lu Yanchen, but there was no reproach in his tone, "Why won't it be urgent in the future?" Do you think it's already here now? ”

With that, he sighed lightly and poured himself another glass of wine.

Lu Yanchen looked at him from the side, for a long time, and said: "If you want students to see the sacrifice wine unjustly die in prison, the students will be uneasy. ”

"You came to rob the prison, you are at ease. But what about me? Wang Lisong didn't appreciate his affection, turned his hand on the wine glass, and said, "If you have three long and two short, how can you let me have the face to see your father after a hundred years?" ”

At the mention of his father, Lu Yanchen's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wang Lisong looked at him and said, "What's more, even if you succeed in robbing the prison, do you think I will go with you?" Wandering the world as a fugitive for the rest of your life? ”

Lu Yanchen always lowered his head, and whispered for a long time: "The student knows that he is wrong." ”

"I'm old, I'm half-grounded. For me, life and death don't matter anymore, what matters is how I die. Wang Lisong smiled at Lu Yanchen, his face was calm and kind, "But Yanchen, you are different, you are still young, and you still have a long way to go." Whether it's Your Majesty or Sheji, you will have to rely on you in the future, and you can't rely on my old bones. So your life is more precious than my gold, remember? ”

Lu Yanchen looked at him, frowned slightly, and didn't nod or shake his head.

Wang Lisong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't believe you if you remember it." Get up, don't kneel. ”

Only then did Lu Yanchen get up and sit down on the side.

Wang Lisong drank a glass of wine, looked at Lu Yanchen, thought of something, suddenly frowned in confusion, and asked, "I heard that you killed hundreds of people in the palace gate, is it true?" ”

"Really."

Wang Lisong put down his wine glass, looked at Lu Yanchen seriously, and said strangely: "You are so soft-hearted, you can actually kill so many people?" ”

Lu Yanchen couldn't help laughing and said, "When did I soften my heart? ”

Wang Lisong didn't speak, just stared at him.

After a while, Lu Yanchen was looked at by him and said, "Okay." I don't know what's going on, so I'm not afraid. At that time, I only thought that I couldn't let them catch up with His Majesty, and before I knew it, I killed many people. ”

Wang Li retracted his curious gaze with relief, and muttered, "Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door." ”

The two drank in silence for a while.

Then, Wang Lisong remembered something.

"By the way, when I go to Leizhou, there seems to be someone taking care of me on the road, is it your people?"

Lu Yanchen was slightly stunned, then remembered the Eagle Guard, and said, "It's okay, but it's Your Majesty's will." ”

Speaking of Eagle Guard, Lu Yanchen also remembered something: "I heard that he was kidnapped on the outskirts of Beijing on the way back to Beijing, who did it?" ”

Although the Eagle Guard has changed hands, it was Lu Yanchen's order at the time because of this matter, so Tao Yuan also reported it to Lu Yanchen.

Wang Lisong pondered, as if he was hesitating to tell Lu Yanchen, and finally he said, "Gu Ge Lao." ”

"Gu Ge Lao?" Lu Yanchen was obviously surprised, he looked up and down at Wang Lisong, who was intact, and said, "He didn't hurt you?" ”

"Why did he hurt me? He used to put me to death because I knew what he was doing in the spring. Now that the emperor knows what he did, and Chun Yu has tried again, I have no threat to him. Besides, I am now a witness appointed by the emperor to enter Beijing to go to the palace to present his case, and if I am robbed and killed halfway, he will be the first person to be suspected. Gu Ge is not stupid, he will not do things that are not beneficial to him. ”

"But," Lu Yanchen paused for a moment before he said, "I feel that Elder Gu Ge is not only at odds with you politically, but ...... I hate you from the bottom of my heart. No matter what he finds out these days, he wants to pull it on you. ”

"Because in the eyes of Gu Ge Lao, whether it is a student's petition, Qin Baozhu's entry into the palace, or the drumming of Chengtianmen, I instigated and planned it." Speaking of this, Wang Lisong himself couldn't help laughing, "I'm in prison, where do I have such a ability?" If there is, it is really supernatural. He was so frightened because he refused to believe that all this was done by His Majesty from the bottom of his heart, and he always felt that His Majesty was bewitched. ”

He couldn't believe that His Majesty the pampered Emperor would be on the side of the impoverished people, not the magnates who served the Emperor comfortably. To be honest, it's no wonder he doesn't believe it. If it weren't for what you said back then, I wouldn't believe it. ”

Lu Yanchen's slightly startled look fell in Wang Lisong's eyes, he looked at Lu Yanchen and smiled: "Because it really doesn't make sense." But, that's what happened. Perhaps it was the people of God who had mercy on the great scenery that sent down such a deviant and unusual age and emperor. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Yanchen again and said, "Of course, Your Majesty can be as smart and reasonable, honest and unyielding as today, and you, as the emperor, have made great contributions." ”
