From the spring breeze to the scorching summer heat, it seems to be just a blink of an eye.

There are far fewer pedestrians in the capital's markets, either holding small fans or huddled on both sides, walking in the shade of the trees and shops.

"Summer is so boring."

Even if the people in the restaurant tea shop drink herbal tea and fruit, they also feel embarrassed.

"But it's July soon." A young woman said, shaking her fan with anticipation, "It will be cooler then."

"It doesn't matter if it's cool or not, it's much more fun in July." Another woman raised her eyebrows and crossed her fingers, "The Begging Festival, and the next August 15th, Double Ninth Festival, there are so many fun."

The women in the hall cheered up, and some people looked at Xia Houqing, who was still concentrating on writing.

"Miss Xiahou, will there be a palace banquet on the seventh day of July?" Someone asked.

Xiahou Qing didn't look up and said, "The queen has a small banquet."

So sure that he must have received an invitation, and the ladies looked envious.

"Will Lu Hanlin go?" A young lady whispered.

She is new here, and she knows the grievances between Lu Hanlin and Huo Lian and Xiahou's family, but it is the first time she has seen Miss Xiahou, this sentence blurted out, and she herself immediately regretted it and was uneasy, but the young ladies around her did not blame her, or changed the topic, and Miss Xiahou smiled at her.

"Yes." "But I'm going to win the top prize in poetry," she said.

The ladies in the hall all laughed, "Ah Qing's temper." "Then I wish Miss Xiahou a successful start and compare Lu Hanlin to the bottom."

The young lady who spoke also laughed, looking at Xiahou Qing who was standing there holding a pen, and really felt what it was like to be as proud as pine and bamboo in the book.

I heard the horse's hooves galloping on the street, mixed with the noise of pedestrians avoiding.

The young lady leaning against the window looked at it and said, "It's the military newspaper from the north again."

"Again?" A few young ladies crowded around the window to watch, and their ears rang with questions.

"Is it because of the Northern Navy?"

A few people turned their heads and saw that it was Miss Xiahou, who had been writing, did she also like to watch the excitement?

"It should be." There are elders in the young lady's family who are in charge of this matter, and they know more, "Recently, those who came from the north have impeached the Northern Navy, and they have gone out of the north and acted recklessly in other prefectures, and they have also surrounded a government office."

The ladies exclaimed, "Is this a rebellion?" "The Northern Navy almost rebelled before..... "Is the North so chaotic?" "It's horrible."

Someone looked at Miss Xiahou on the side, and saw that she was also frowning, and the hand holding the pen was clenched tightly.

"Is Qing also worried?" One asked.

Someone laughed and said, "Don't worry, Huo Lian is in the north."

These words made the room lively again, recalling Huo Lian's previous trip, especially causing everyone to speculate about which pet to take.

"Yes, yes, the North Navy is fierce, but Huo Lian is even more fierce."

"See which of them can overpower whom."

"I guess it's Hodudu."

The hall was lively and talkative, sweeping away the previous dull and boring.

Miss Xiahou didn't participate in the discussion anymore, nor did she go back to write, leaning against the window and looking out, the letter had passed, the street was quiet again, and Miss Xiahou's eyes looked at the sky to the north, frowning slightly.

It's already dangerous to follow Huo Lian, and I've gone to the dangerous north again, I don't know how Miss Seven Stars is doing now?

……

……

"It's ridiculous!"

The letter was quickly delivered to the emperor, and after only one glance, the emperor was so angry that he threw the letter on the table, and disrupted the stack of letters and newspapers scattered on it.

"This Northern Navy is really unbelievable! He even used my name to do evil!"

Hearing this, an official stepped forward with an aggrieved and angry expression: "They still keep coming to urge military spending, saying that Your Majesty allowed it, saying that we are disobeying the order."

Other officials who were harassed by the Northern Navy and demanded money and goods also complained.

The emperor didn't know whether he was noisy or angry, and reached out to rub his forehead.

"Your Majesty wants to build the Great Wall in the north, but not to let the Northern Navy be arrogant!" A cold voice sounded in it, "And what Your Majesty ordered to inquire about at that time was that Liang Liuzi of the Northern Navy left his post without permission."

The officer looked at the young officer who was talking on the side.

"That's right, that's it." An official said, "Lu Hanlin, His Majesty's words and orders at that time were recorded by your Hanlin Academy."

Other officials also spoke: "What a crime!" "Why don't you ask for the guilt?" "Not only that Liang Liuzi, all the generals of the Northern Navy have to ask!"

The temple became noisy.

"But you can't ask for guilt now." Lu Yizhi's voice sounded again.

It was noisy, and the officials looked at him, and the emperor looked at him.

Lu Yizhi stood up with a solemn and sincere expression: "Your Majesty, the generals are guilty, the soldiers are not guilty, the Great Wall of the North is to guard the border, and more lives are at stake, please Your Majesty be patient for the time being, and wait for the Great Wall of the North to be repaired, and then ask for the guilt."

Say goodbye to the emperor and bow deeply.

"What's more, there is still the Metropolitan Prosecutor in the north, they will definitely be able to find out the truth and live up to Your Majesty's heavy responsibility."

The officials who were originally going to refute looked strange when they heard this.

Yes, Huo Lian is in the north, His Majesty has already ordered him to thoroughly investigate the Northern Navy, so what is the hurry, wait for Huo Lian to find out, ask the Northern Navy, if Huo Lian can't find anything, then ask Huo Lian and the Northern Navy to be complicit!

It turned out that Lu Hanlin was not excusing the Northern Navy, nor was it for the Northern Great Wall, but for Huo Lian.

The officials in the hall glanced at each other, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

However, everyone doesn't think it's strange for Lu Yizhi to do this, the revenge of taking his wife, of course, he can't wait for the other party to die.

And it is also a good opportunity for Lu Hanlin, the emperor is conniving at Huo Lian, but the Northern Navy is the emperor's reverse scale, if Huo Lian dares to have something wrong with the Beihai military, the emperor will definitely not spare him!

For everyone, no matter which result is good, it is better to be happy to see it.

"Please Your Majesty pacify the cities near the northern border, for the sake of the border defense, for the border army and the border people, and tolerate it for a moment."

Lu Yizhi bowed deeply again and asked the emperor.

The officials followed suit: "Please calm your anger and endure for the border army."

The emperor grabbed the piece on the table and slapped it again: "I want to give Huo Lian a will, let him find out every word and deed of the Northern Navy, if there is any omission, there is no need to come back to see me!"

.......

.......

When Liu Yan came over, he saw that the officials were withdrawing from the hall.

They were talking enthusiastically in one of them, but they didn't see Liu Yan, Liu Yan approached, and heard them discussing where to go to the garden.

"Yizhi bought Ning Garden, which is also our blessing, and we can enjoy the style of the famous garden of the previous dynasty."

Ning Yuan? Although Liu Yan was not interested in visiting the garden, he also knew that this garden was one of the top ten famous gardens in Beijing, and Lu Yizhi actually bought it?

He couldn't help but look at the young man who was surrounded by officials.

The young man's expression was clear, and he had neither pride nor self-humility, but he smiled and said, "My father bought it, and I am used to living in the country, and I want a garden to be repaired, so I will invite everyone to come and appreciate it."

The next moment, when he saw Liu Yan, he stood up straight and saluted respectfully.

"I've seen Lord Liu."

Only then did the others look away and salute one after another.

Liu Yan didn't say much and went inward, but after hearing it, he resumed talking and laughing, he looked back, and all the officials hugged Lu and left.

Although he was entangled with the Xiahou family, and many literati and officials were dissatisfied with Lu Yizhi's behavior, in the past few months, Lu Yizhi still stood firm in the court, and was reused by the emperor and valued by officials.

The hostility of the Xiahou family was not a big concern for his future.

Of course, the Xiahou family did not suffer a loss, let alone retreat from the capital, they were more active than before, and even the two sons of the Xiahou family had to go outside

Transferred back.

"You know about the Northern Navy, right?"

After entering the hall, the emperor who was hurriedly taking a few mouthfuls of snacks asked.

Liu Yan nodded: "It's such a big trouble, the world knows about it."

The emperor was a little puzzled, and said, "It's also strange, the Northern Navy has been a man with his tail between his legs before, looking harmless to humans and animals, and I am not afraid to mention the events of the past, lest the people of the world think that I have wronged them, why is it suddenly unscrupulous now?"

Well, probably because there was a bold and unscrupulous person who went to the Northern Navy, Liu Yan said in his heart, and only said: "I have to ask Huo Dudu, he is over there, and he also knows the temperament of the Northern Navy best."

The emperor put down the soup bowl, what Huo Lian said, it didn't matter, the Northern Navy did this, in fact, he was not angry.

Maybe it's the last madness, maybe I think that allowing them to build the Great Wall in the north makes them proud to rely on their true nature, which is good, at least everyone in the world knows how they are arrogant, reckless, and bold, this is the soldiers and horses brought out by the rebel generals who would rebel at the beginning.

In the future, if they are convicted, they can't be blamed for wronging them.

Therefore, Lu Yizhi is right, and be patient, it is good for the border army and the people, and it is not bad for him, the emperor.

Speaking of Lu Yizhi, the emperor wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, this young civil official is really good, with a good background, good learning, and good words like a knife.

The emperor was in a good mood, Liu Yan accompanied him with snacks, discussed a few pieces of eucalyptus, and returned to Dali Temple in the afternoon.

On the eucalyptus is an invitation made of white jade.

The little officials didn't dare to touch it more, and put it on the table to guard it personally, which was amazing.

"I've never seen it before, Lu San Gongzi is really elegant." He said, "And it's worth a lot."

This is really sincere and elegant, and it is difficult for people who don't love money to dislike it when they see it.

Liu Yan picked up the jade slip and looked at it, and saw that it said that he was invited to Ningyuan to have a look.

"Lu Sangongzi said that at that time, the Lord brought him to see His Majesty and helped him get through the difficulties." The little official continued, "Although the adults don't care about it, it is for official business, but for him, it is a teacher of words, a grace of recreation, and he will never forget."

Liu Yan smiled when he heard this.

"Not really, it's none of my business." He threw the jade post back on the table, "One day he will know that carrying is sometimes not a good thing."

......

......

After a torrential rain in the evening, it brought a rare cool breeze.

Liu Yan dismounted and walked straight into Linglong Fang, and the shop guys shouted skillfully.

"Distinguished guests are here, please come inside, serve good tea."

Liu Yan also skillfully walked into the inner hall, leaving his entourage to drink tea in the hall, and he walked into the secret room, where there was a crackling sound of abacus.

Gao Xiaoliu stood by the wall, facing the abacus of one wall, holding a bamboo in his hand, and kept paddling the white jade beads on the black agate slider, and the room seemed to echo with the pleasant sound of the guqin.

"Lord Liu is really idle." He squinted at Liu Yan who walked in, and said in a long tone, "Run here every day."

Liu Yan sat down, pushed the account book with a table, and said, "Gongzi Gao is growing here day by day, he has abandoned his family and father."
