In an elegant bamboo pavilion, Qi Yungu gently put a white son on the chessboard, forced the sunspot to a dead end, and raised his eyes to look at Qi Yu opposite: "The imperial brother just came back to find his courtier, but this trip has received something?" ”

The corners of Qi Yu's mouth couldn't help but rise: "Well, but I don't want to tell you yet, so don't ask more, I want to see what kind of look you will look like when the time comes!" ”

After Qi Yu finished speaking, he barely fell behind.

"The royal brother even hid it from his younger brother, and he was afraid that the younger brother would cause trouble to the imperial brother!"

Qi Yun Gu gave off a son and surrounded the sunspot to death.

"Really, after all, when I met that person, I was in a mess, let alone you. If that person appears in the imperial capital, I will be more sure that the Luo clan and the Yuan clan in this three-legged tripod will join forces and get rid of the He clan! ”

After Qi Yu finished speaking, the sunspot landed on the board, reversing the situation of the entire chess game.

Since Shen Jiajun was wronged and was destroyed by He Hao, Qi Yu had thought of countless ways to kill He Hao, but Qi Yungu had never seen him so determined, he couldn't help but be happy, and when he thought about himself again, he couldn't help but sneer.

Qi Yungu looked at the reversed chess game, he really had no way to play, so he directly threw the white piece in his hand to the chessboard, and played Lai: "That's it, it's not going to play!" ”

Qi Yu saw that he was about to win, but he was disturbed by Qi Yungu, and he was unhappy, so he asked him: "What?" Can't afford to lose? ”

"How sure is the royal brother now?"

"Seventy percent!"

Qi Yungu looked at Qi Yu, who had a firm expression, and was also interested......

On the council hall, between the golden dragon pillars, Jiulong Luan sat on, wearing a crown of twelve hanging beads and gold ornaments, and Qi Yu, who was wearing a bright yellow nine-line dragon robe, looked at the fold in his hand, and was angry, he threw the fold directly, and angrily reprimanded: "The dignified servant of the imperial history, he actually took advantage of his duties, embezzled and accepted bribes, ignored the people's grievances, and killed people if he couldn't suppress it. Outrageous! Decide now, make a decision now! ”

Qi Yu said the crime of the current servant Shi He Ren in one breath, and he was so anxious that he couldn't breathe.

When the people of His Royal Highness saw that the emperor had such a big temper for the first time, they were so frightened that they knelt down one after another, and they didn't dare to look up at him.

The eunuch beside Qi Yu hurriedly came to hand over a cup of tea, and then went behind him and gently stroked his back with his hand.

Qi Yu took a sip of tea, snuggled up to the dragon chair, and gasped. He looked at the people who were kneeling neatly under His Highness, and now they were bowing down to him one by one, but how many people really put themselves in their eyes?

Qi Yu leaned on the dragon chair, played with the jade pendant hanging on his waist, and said slowly: "Get up, now the post of serving the imperial history is vacant, let's say, who will take over now?" ”

When everyone heard the emperor say this, they all came to be interested, one recommended the young master of the Sun family, the other recommended the son of the Liu family, and recommended their own people as much as possible. Naturally, none of them were Qi Yu's favorite, so he pushed his hand and said, "Come on, don't think that I don't take care of things, you can just find someone to fool me." Who said that just now, the son of the Sun family? His own three women were jealous all day long, making the whole family restless, but he hid in the blockade all day long, unwilling to go back. Who else is coming? The young master of the Liu family? The sick one, can he manage the mess left by He Ren? ”

Qi Yu said this, and the people below were speechless.

Qi Yu looked at the people below, and he was not in a hurry, he flipped the jade pendant in his hand, and waited for the noise of the hall to gradually quiet down, and then asked lazily: "Who recommended He Ren in the first place, stand up!" ”

As soon as Qi Yu finished speaking, a middle-aged man who was more than ten years older than Qi Yu stood up and saluted: "Back to the emperor, it's an old minister!" ”

Qi Yu glanced at the middle-aged man of His Royal Highness, who was wearing a purple wide-sleeved Wolong python robe, golden auspicious clouds wrapped around the cuffs, the violet jade-inlaid belt, squeezed a little off track by his plump lower abdomen, and wearing a gold crown inlaid with a big ruby on top, his fleshy basin and his little mustache were very happy. This person is not an outsider, it is the younger brother of the former emperor and the uncle of him and Qi Yungu, Qi Yang.

Qi Yang's fiefdom is in Suining, titled the King of Suining, ten years ago he went to Suining, five years ago when the emperor died, he came back to send the funeral, no one thought that he would come back but not leave. Originally, Qi Yu himself didn't manage the government much, he was an idle person, and he didn't want to take care of Qi Yang's affairs, so he let him stay in the imperial capital.

Qi Yu, the emperor, does not manage the government, and Qi Yang, the prince, only went to the court for ten days and half a month, and sometimes he didn't see anyone for the whole month. He also used the money he had saved over the years to buy several other courtyards in the imperial capital, one for each of his women, so he never had a backyard to disturb.

Qi Yu looked at Qi Yang's outfit and twitched the corners of his mouth: I wish I could wear all the money on my body!

Qi Yu saw that it was him, so he didn't pursue it, asked him to step back, and asked, "Who recommended the previous one?" ”

As soon as Qi Yu's words fell, who thought that Qi Yang stood up again.

The corners of Qi Yu's mouth twitched again.

Qi Yu let go of the jade pendant in his hand, sat up straight, and asked Qi Yang righteously: "Uncle Huang, the recommended person made a mistake, and the recommender is also guilty of the same crime, do you know?" ”

Qi Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "The old minister knows!" ”

Qi Yu looked at His Royal Highness trembling Qi Yang, although he was ashamed in his heart, but looking at the imperial uncle with such good acting skills, he was secretly happy in his heart, and coughed dryly: "Uncle Huang, you and I are a family after all, so let's do it, I will give you another chance, you think about it again, is there a good candidate?" ”

After thinking about it, Qi Yang really couldn't think of it, so he looked left and right, hoping to find a reliable candidate from others, but they all avoided his gaze.

Qi Yang saw that no one helped him, and he was a little cold, so he lowered his head and pretended to think, and said for a long time: "Back to the emperor, the old minister thought of someone!" ”

"Uncle Huang can think clearly, if this person is still like He Ren, I can't help you!"

Qi Yu reminded Qi Yang.

"The emperor can rest assured, the old minister dares to use his life to guarantee that the person the old minister said is absolutely reliable, but I don't know if the emperor will agree!"

Qi Yizheng said rhetorically.

Seeing that Qi Yang was so determined, Qi Yu was very interested: "Let's hear it!" ”

Qi Yang took a step forward and said firmly: "Twenty-one years ago, it was Lin Jinzhuo, the champion of the year, who did not come out for three years, and managed the imperial capital in an orderly manner. It's a pity that his personality was too upright, and he collided with the first emperor and was demoted back to his hometown by the first emperor. The old minister heard that this person returned to his hometown and did not come out for three years, not only retried the unjust, false and wrongful cases, but also smelted the canals, and even the thieves cleaned up a lot. Lao Chen believes that if this person returns to the imperial capital, he will be able to make the imperial capital live and work in peace and contentment! ”

Fan Liaochen listened to what Qi Yang said that this person was very good, and secretly raised his head to look at Luo Jinmin and Chu Qingyun in front of him, but Luo Jinmin shook his head slightly backwards, signaling Fan Liaochen and Chu Qingyun to wait and see.

Qi Yu leaned on the dragon chair again and asked Qi Yang suspiciously: "Just because of his upright personality, he collided with his father, so he was demoted back to his hometown by his father?" ”

Qi Yang replied, "Yes! ”

Qi Yu thought about it for a long time, and asked, "Is this person really so good?" ”

Seeing that the emperor was interested, Qi Yang secretly turned his head and glanced at Luo Jinmin, after Luo Jinmin understood what Qi Yang meant, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Back to the emperor, it's true." This person is jealous and hateful, not afraid of the powerful, has no heart, and is a good candidate! ”

As soon as Luo Jinmin finished speaking, Chu Qingyun and Fan Liaochen came out to second, and as soon as they came out, the older generation of the Luo family's faction, dominated by the Luo family, came out to second, only Yuan Heng, who broke the Luo family with the Yuan family back then, was a little displeased, but this matter was related to the life of the prince, and he did not dare to object, so he could only keep silent.

Although there are only people from the Luo family faction who summoned Lin Jinzhuo back to Beijing, no one refutes it now, and no one dares to find fault in the future, and as for whether he can mix in the imperial capital, it is not up to them to say. Qi Yu thought.

"Not afraid of the powerful?"

Qi Yu touched his chin, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "What I want is someone who is not afraid of the powerful!" Come to the people, draft the will, summon Lin Jinzhuo back to the imperial capital, reinstate as a servant of the imperial history, and set off on a certain day"

Outside the main hall, Luo Jinmin walked side by side with Chu Qingyun and Fan Liaochen, perhaps because Lin Jinzhuo was coming back, happy for him, and the three of them had smiles on their faces.

Chu Qingyun said to Luo Jinmin: "Brother, Qingyun will go back first today, and she has to tell Jinyu the good news, she has been looking forward to this for many years!" ”

Luo Jinmin: "Yes, in the past two years, my mother has also been chattering, when will he come back, he is really going to come back today, and her old man must be happy." ”

Fan Liaochen also said happily: "That's it, I think that when Jinzhuo left suddenly, we didn't have time to say goodbye to him, and when he comes back, the four of us must have a drink." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. When the time comes, we must not let him go. ”

Chu Qingyun said with great interest.

Luo Jinmin, who was walking in front, was talking and laughing, and the juniors who followed behind the three also began to talk.

Luo Shaoyi patted Luo Shaoqing on the shoulder: "Big brother, you said, I haven't seen you for ten years, don't talk about the third uncle, just talk about our two cousins and cousins, what will they do now?" ”

Luo Shaoqing was just about to answer, but Fan Ruodi preempted him and said: "Then it doesn't need to be said, naturally my sister is like a third aunt, and my younger brother is like a third aunt!" Isn't it, cousin Shaoqing? ”

"Like the third aunt?"

Luo Shaoqing muttered.

Fan Ruodi saw that Luo Shaoqing's expression was not moving, so he asked, "Cousin Shaoqing, what's wrong?" ”

Luo Shaoqing heard Fan Ruodi call himself, so he came back to his senses and said a little stumblingly: "Yes, of course!" ”

After a few people talked a few words, they said goodbye one by one, but no one noticed Yuan Heng, who had been watching them not far behind them......

In the backyard of Chu Mansion, in the huge lotus pond, all kinds of koi fish hid under the lotus leaves and frolicked, and from time to time a few women's laughter came from a distance. Hearing the prestige, I saw that in the pavilion standing in the middle of the pool, there were two graceful and noble women, one dignified and elegant, beautiful and wise; A bright and moving, charming but not demonic. These two are Luo Jinmin's siblings, Luo Jinyu and Luo Jinyuan.

Luo Jinyu, the eldest lady of the Luo family, and Chu Sheng are married to a family, but the two have been in the same boat for 21 years, and they have never had a dispute with each other; Luo Jinyuan, the second lady of the Luo family, fell in love with Fan Liaochen, who was Luo Xiao's student, at first sight, and married Fan Liaochen after he stabilized in the imperial capital.

Luo Jinyuan sent a cup of freshly brewed tea to Luo Jinyu and said, "Sister, try this tea sent from Suining!" ”

Luo Jinyu picked up the tea bowl, opened the tea lid, smelled the tea fragrance, nodded with interest, used the tea lid to remove the tea leaves standing on the surface of the tea water, took a sip, tasted it, and sighed: "The tea taste is fragrant, the entrance is slightly bitter, and the throat is sweet." Good tea, good tea! ”

Luo Jinyuan was very happy when she heard Luo Jinyu praise her tea, so she said: "If my sister likes it, my sister will let her bring some more when she goes back, and my sister can taste it slowly." ”

Luo Jinyu was flattered: "Isn't that sister, I win people's love!" ”

Luo Jinyuan said with a smile: "Look at what my sister said, you and I are sisters, so don't you see the outside?" ”

"I heard that there is a batch of new materials in Yuzhou, a few days ago when Lin'er set off, I have asked him to bring a few horses, and when he comes back, you come again and pick a favorite!"

Luo Jinyuan was overjoyed when she heard Luo Jinyu say this, and hurriedly responded: "Okay, good." ”

"What's so good about this, I don't know which one is better?"

A man's voice could be heard outside the courtyard.

The two of them followed the prestige, and saw Chu Qingyun, who had just gone down to the court and had not yet changed his court clothes, walking towards the two.

Luo Jinyu saw Chu Qingyun coming all the way with a smile, and said that there was something good, so he stepped forward to greet him: "Didn't Lin'er go to Yuzhou, when he set off, I asked him to bring a few pieces of cloth, and just now I said that I would give my sister one." ”

"Really?"

Chu Qingyun asked.

Luo Jinyuan nodded.

Luo Jinyu asked again: "The master was so happy just now, I don't know what the good thing the master said is?" ”

As soon as Luo Jinyu asked, Chu Qingyun asked Luo Jinyu and the two sisters to sit down, and he chose a nearby position to sit down, and said: "Didn't He Ren cause trouble because of his position, the emperor was furious when he found out, and sentenced him to a summary decision." ”

Chu Qingyun picked up a cup of tea made by the maid, took a sip, and thought it was good, but he didn't have the heart to taste the tea, and continued: "He Ren's slash, the imperial history will be vacant, guess who will take over?" ”

Luo Jinyu saw that Chu Qingyun was selling Guanzi, and he was not brainless, smiled slightly, glanced at Luo Jinyuan, and said while thinking: "It's just a servant of the imperial history, which can make the master happy like this, presumably this person must be his own family, but all of his own family members are above the imperial history, and the concubine really can't think of who it is." ”

"Serving the history of the emperor and ...... his own family"

Luo Jinyuan lowered her head and thought for a while, her slender jade fingers kept touching the edge of the tea lid, thought for a while, and said softly: "It won't be our brother-in-law, Jinzhuo, right?" ”

"Jinzhuo?"

Luo Jinyu looked at Luo Jinyuan in disbelief, and then looked at Chu Qingyun, hoping to get an accurate answer from him.

Chu Qingyun looked at Luo Jinyuan, who was two years younger than his wife, and nodded: "It's worthy of the second miss, just guess!" ”

Luo Jinyuan listened to Chu Qingyun's praise of herself, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly looked at her sister, and her own sister heard the news, and immediately asked Chu Qingyun like a child: "Master, is this information accurate?" ”

Chu Qingyun was very sure: "Yes, the emperor has made an order." Moreover, from the imperial capital to Lin Jinzhuo, where they are located, it takes almost four months to go back and forth. ”

Luo Jinyu was overjoyed when she saw that Chu Qingyun was so sure, and hurriedly said: "It's really good, I've been looking forward to this for many years, this time they are finally coming back, and I don't know how they are now, whether they have eaten well, drunk well, slept well, and I don't know what they look like!" ”

Luo Jinyu was talking and talking, she was originally happy, but she insisted on crying.

Luo Jinyuan hurriedly came to her side and comforted: "Okay, okay, this is a good thing, why do you cry when you talk about it?" What about the two children, I'll know when I see them. ”

Luo Jinyu heard Luo Jinyuan say this, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded, "Yes, I'll know when I see it." ”

Chu Qingyun saw that his wife was so excited, and his nose was sour.

Luo Jinyuan saw that her sister had finally calmed down, so she made her another cup of tea, but when she was making tea here, she was startled by Luo Jinyu who suddenly stood up.

Luo Jinyu stood up abruptly and said, "They're coming back, I have to clean up the other door." ”

Chu Qingyun hurriedly stopped her and said, "Madame, don't worry, they still have three or four months to arrive!" ”

Luo Jinyu, who was excited on his head, didn't listen to Chu Qingyun's words: "I haven't seen you for ten years, and I don't know how old the children are?" Like what? I'll have to get everything ready, or I'll be too late when they come back to make it. ”

Luo Jinyu said and gently pushed Chu Qingyun away and went to the opposite door Lin Mansion, leaving only Chu Qingyun and Luo Jinyuan messy in the wind.

Luo Jinyuan put down the teapot and said with a smile: "It seems that my sister is really happy, after all, she has been looking forward to this for many years!" ”

"yes!"

Chu Qingyun responded: "Since Jinzhuo was demoted, I took my two children back to Linxian County, and I haven't seen her so happy." ”

"Brother-in-law, it's not the same, otherwise today's court would not be a three-legged state."

"I've never regretted it!"

Chu Qingyun said firmly.

Luo Jinyuan looked at Chu Qingyun so firmly, the corners of her mouth rose, and she got up and said: "I'm afraid my sister won't be able to be idle these days, so I'm tired of my brother-in-law telling my sister, if there is a need, I will send someone to pass on a message, and my sister will go back first." ”

After Luo Jinyuan finished speaking, she saluted Chu Qingyun slightly, got up and left.

By a lotus pond in Lin County, Lin Yueying was holding a branch to tease the fish in the water. At this time, the bell came from a distance, panting and said to Lin Yueying: "Miss, I can be regarded as looking for you, the imperial capital is here, and the lord is calling you back!" ”

Lin Yueying didn't react much when she heard the news, so she asked, "Who?" ”

Bell thought back and said, "A eunuch who proclaimed the decree, and a military general who came with him. The eunuch disliked the poor conditions at home, and went to a nearby inn after announcing the decree, but the military general was still at home. ”

After Lin Yueying heard what the bell said, she was a little unhappy, and asked again: "Do you remember what the eunuch read?" ”

The bell nodded and said, "Remember, let the master return to the imperial capital to resume his duties." ”

After Lin Yueying heard the bell finish, she clenched the branch in her hand, and felt uneasy: For no reason, the emperor would think of calling his father back to the imperial capital? It seems that the people I met last time really have a lot of backgrounds......
