Flowers bloom and fall, winter goes to spring, and twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye.

These days, Jinghua has been full of ups and downs. On the surface, it seems to be peaceful, but in reality there are always many terrifying rumors.

Legend has it that the powerful rising star of the Central Plains, the Tianxiao Organization intends to collude with a certain minister of the imperial court, not only to dominate the martial arts, but also to unify China.

Dare to say that it is light to covet the throne, but in essence, it is to seek power and usurp the throne, and it is easy to change the country!

This is by no means alarmist. Because many pieces of music have been passed to the emperor all over the country, saying that the activities of the Tianxiao organization are frequent, which has disturbed the chickens and dogs in the prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and when the officers and soldiers are surrounded and suppressed, they are like a dragon seeing the head and not the end, which is a headache.

But there are some predictions that the Celestial Owl Organization may have entered the capital...... This made the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, including the emperor, also a little restless.

Seeing that the emperor was in a panic, Lu Wenzheng, the secretary of the criminal department of the official residence, was out of class. If this Lu Wenzheng is said to be a pivotal figure in today's imperial court.

A few sentences that are prevalent in the current dynasty can be proved to be: "The court of the Great Song Dynasty, the pillar of the country: Wen has Shang Shulang of the Criminal Department, and Wu has the King of Guangling of Sanguan."

Meaning: As long as there is Lu Wenzheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhao Rui, the prince of Guangling, to assist the government, they can ensure the safety of the Great Song Dynasty.

If it is said that Zhao Rui, the prince of Guangling, is now the marshal of Sanguan, his soldiers are full of food, and the brave generals are like clouds; His son Zhao Xu is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, outstanding talents, and proficient in the art of war, bravely crowning the three armies, and is really a rare general. The father and son guarded the border passes, resisted Yidi, and for many years have been peaceful and peaceful.

And this criminal department secretary Lu Wenzheng is a member of the first rank of the court, and is regarded as "Taiji Beidou" by the courtiers, loyal to the country, and his merits cannot be said in a day.

Now let's get down to business. said that Lu Wenzheng was out of class and advised the emperor to be a little restless; And said: These days, he has let his right-hand man, Ling Yun, the commander of the three-grade guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and known as the "first sword in the world", visit him, and roughly learned:

Li Ruiyun, the leader of the Heavenly Owl Organization, is young and promising, with world-renowned martial arts, strategizing, cunning, fierce and difficult to deal with.

There is another point to note: Li Ruiyun's identity is confusing and elusive, not to mention the people in the organization, even the people around him, and there are very few people who see his true face. So beware of this person appearing in any way, in any face, at any time, in any place, and doing anything incredible.

The emperor said: "Isn't that impossible to prevent?" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "The masters of the palace are like clouds, and I am also full of soldiers and armor in Gyeonggi, no matter how bold he Li Ruiyun is, he will not take the risk of coming here; What's more, this Tianxiao organization is fledgling, and it will not take action for the time being. ”

The emperor said: "How do you say this? ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "Because the external attack must have an internal response." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Lu Qing is saying that there are also people in my court who have a heart of disobedience and want to collude with thieves? ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "Weichen is just inferred from reason. The Holy One only needs to be on guard. ”

Lu Wenzheng can be described as an important minister in the court, and the emperor has always trusted him and respected him very much, and his words have always been proved to be correct.

At this time, the words responded to the emperor's speculation for many days, and they responded immediately.

At that moment, the emperor hit the case: "How can this be true!" If I know about it, I will definitely cut it with a thousand knives and destroy the nine clans! ”

The emperor's thunderous anger made the Manchu civil and military all hold their breath and dare not move. There was a terrible silence in the courtroom.

After a long time, the emperor calmed down before saying to Lu Wenzheng: "You go on." ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "The deputy leader of the Heavenly Owl Organization is a woman, her real name is Lian Nanchun, and she is also a terrible female evil star. There are many other helm leaders. ”

The emperor said: "Is there anything else?" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "It is still under investigation, and as soon as Weichen has news, he will report it immediately." ”

The emperor nodded and said "yes"; He asked again: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything else to report?" ”

Seeing that no one answered, he waved his hand and announced his retreat.

The dynasty was dispersed, and the civil and military officials withdrew in order. Although everyone in the court is sinking like water and worried, the people who feel that "it is not their business, and they care about it are chaotic" are the majority after all.

What kind of celestial owl organization, since he has no grievances and no enmity with it, where will he be so unlucky, but let this ghost organization hit his head.

Most people believe that they will be auspicious and blessed by the gods, otherwise, how could they be so lucky to ascend to the Hall of Elegance and be prominent?

At this time, Ding Jinzhi, a member of the second rank of the court and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, walked to the front of the Marquis of Xinping and the old horse He Yuting, who was the first grade of the official residence, "Brother He, at the beginning of next month, Jiu Dog Zi succeeded Wu Xi as the prefect of Zhongmu, and tomorrow the younger brother will set up a banquet at home, can Brother He deign to ride and go to us to have fun?" ”

Everyone in the DPRK and the Central Committee knows that Ding Jinzhi and He Yuting have been friends for many years; Now, Ding Jinzhi's eldest son Ding Jiwu has been promoted to a prominent lord, and the family has a banquet to celebrate, of course, Ding Jinzhi can't forget to be the first to invite He Yuting.

Unexpectedly, He Yuting tightened his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, Brother Foolish, there are still some things in the house tomorrow, let's change the day." ”

Ding Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but blame himself deeply, and hurriedly said: "Brother He, the little brother lost his words." The past is gone, so why ......"

He Yuting let out a long sigh.

Ding Jinzhi regretted it even more, and hurriedly said: "The little brother should die, the little brother shouldn't be speechless......"

Seeing Ding Jinzhi's embarrassment, He Yuting said: "Why did the virtuous brother say this, there is something in the foolish brother's family, so I will leave first." ”

Ding Jinzhi heard the pardon order, and hurriedly said: "Brother He is slow, and the younger brother is one step ahead." With that, Shi Li turned and walked away.

He Yuting stood on the steps, silently distracted. The son who was promoted by Ding Jinzhi, he thought of his son who had been separated for many years and whose life and death were uncertain, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

The son of the other man has become a talent, but his own son is ......

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the bottom of the stairs, and a handsome young man dressed in a light blue brocade and a hundred flowers bouquet official uniform walked over with light steps, shouting in his mouth: "Lord Lu, Lord Lu!" ……”

Looking at the age, this young man is in his twenties, eight feet long (converted into more than one meter eight meters tall), with a face like a crown of jade, colorful eyebrows, a pair of black and white eyes, radiant and charming; The posture is long and vigorous, the movement is light and fast, the clothes are flying and dancing, like the jade tree in the wind, heroic posture, a chic posture.

What a handsome boy. But He Yuting suddenly felt a sense of disgust in his heart.

He knew this young officer, who was Lu Wenzheng's right-hand man, Ling Yun, the commander of the Sanpin guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.

Lu Wenzheng is upright by nature and has never been on good terms with him, so He Yuting naturally has no good impression of the people in Lu Mansion, so he couldn't help but look pale and said coldly: "Things that don't know etiquette, is this also a place for you to go wild casually?" ”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, knowing that this big official was coming to find fault, so he bowed slightly and said, "Master Hou forgives me." ”

He Yuting was about to speak, and Lu Wenzheng had already walked over and said: "My subordinates don't understand the rules, please don't meet him in general." Commander Ling still doesn't retreat. ”

Ling Yun was helpless and turned away. Seeing this, He Yuting had no intention of doing anything, so he flicked his sleeves and turned away......

But he said that He Yuting returned to the mansion with a heavy heart, and met the housekeeper He Luwei head-on, so he asked, "How is the princess, is she better?" ”

He Luwei shook his head, sighed softly and said, "It's still the same." The old slave wanted to comfort a few words, but the princess was annoyed and blasted the old slave out. Otherwise, Master Hou, you can go and see ...... again."

He Yuting waved his hand and said, "I know, you go down first." ”

sent away He Luwei, He Yuting did not go to Princess Evergreen's room, but turned around and entered his study.

Sitting silently at his desk, thinking about his long-lost son, thinking about what had happened in the past few days, he only felt that his mind was a mess.

At this time, his personal friend He Zhong came in and said, "Lunch has been prepared, please come over for dinner." ”

He Yuting said: "You go and invite the princess to come over and have dinner together." ”

He Zhong said: "The slave has already invited the princess, and the princess's maid Biyun said that the princess has no appetite and doesn't want to go over." ”

He Yuting waved his hand and asked him to go out and pick up a few meals and send them to the study. The princess was listless and had no appetite; He is also lazy with weak tea.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the Evergreen Princess to comfort her wounded heart, which was as cold as ice, but was it useful?

After so many years, the tears that should have been shed have dried up, the words that should have been said have been exhausted, and the sins that should be atonement have been paid, isn't it still the same as before?

Son He Chenglin can't be found for a day, and her heart shrouded in haze will never see the light of day.

Of course, Princess Evergreen is not the kind of unreasonable jealous woman, after her son disappeared, Princess Evergreen thought about it, and finally agreed to He Yuting and allowed him to take another concubine room to continue the He family's incense heirs.

Because she knows that in this life, it is impossible for her to have the heart and energy to give birth to a child in He Ting, and she can't watch the He family cut off the heirs.

So, two years after his son He Chenglin disappeared, He Yuting accepted Yu Siyao, the daughter of Cheng in Dingyuan County, as a concubine, and had his second son He Chengqi a year later.

He Yuting thought about these messy pasts, and only felt upset.

Two days later in the afternoon.

Around the next hour, He Yuting was sitting in the study without a clue, and the housekeeper He Luwei walked in and reported: "Lord Ding is visiting." ”

He Yuting said weakly: "Please." ”

After a while, Ding Jinzhi walked in excitedly, and after meeting He Yuting, he said with a spring breeze on his face: "Brother He, the younger brother has brought you good news, the eldest prince has a whereabouts!" ”

He Yuting's spirit was lifted, and his originally gloomy eyes immediately burst into a moving look: "Oh, really? Say it! ……”

Ding Jinzhi: "About 20 miles away from the east of the capital, there is a Taoist temple, the name is Taiqing Temple, there is a Taoist chief in the view, the Taoist number Xianyun Daochang, this person is a master of the world, he knows astronomy, he knows geography, he is proficient in literature and martial arts, he is proficient in everything, and Zhou Yi's divination is extremely high, and he is also proficient in medical skills, and he is called 'Xianren'......"

He Yuting smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xian, is this person you are talking about as a Daoist of Xianyun?" It's Zhuge Kongming, right? ”

Ding Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh.

He Yuting said: "Brother Xian has been talking for a long time, but what does this Taoist chief have to do with my son's whereabouts? ”

Ding Jinzhi said: "Brother He, don't worry, listen to the little brother slowly." A few days ago, the younger brother went to his temple to ask his son about his future, and officially got to know him; Yesterday, I came to Guan Zhong to find him for some things, and when he went out on something, the younger brother sat down with his disciple Qingjing Sanren and chatted.

Later, a little Taoist priest outside shouted that there was something wrong with the Qingjing Sanren, and he went out. After the young Taoist priest left, the younger brother found a lost treasure on his seat - Brother He, guess what? ”

He Yuting looked at Ding Jinzhi intently: "What? ”

Ding Jinzhi's voice trembled a little and said, "It's the jasper unicorn jade pendant that our eldest son used to wear!" ……”
