Jia Shen truthfully told Zhu Sheng the speculation of his subordinate Feng Li, and then consciously withdrew from the imperial study.

As soon as the door of the imperial study was closed, Chang Gaoyuan fell to his knees with a bang and said with a panicked face.

"Your Majesty, this matter... I don't know!"

Zhu Sheng's expression changed, suddenly angry, suddenly hesitant, suddenly painful...

The quiet pin drop can be heard in the imperial study.

Chang Gaoyuan didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Sheng is like a volcano that may erupt at any time at this time, and Chang Gaoyuan is worried that even one more word will add fuel to the fire.

And Zhu Sheng didn't dare to speak.

Chang Gaoyuan is his sworn brother, or the invincible god of war of Dayan, and the leader of the military. Zhu Sheng was worried that once he opened his mouth, he would be reprimanded, questioned, or even scolded. That will inevitably cause a gap in the originally intimate relationship between the two, and the impact of this important joint will be immeasurable.

Chang Gaoyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was waiting, and Zhu Sheng, who was standing next to the imperial case, was adjusting.

After a long time, Zhu Sheng suddenly smiled, walked over and helped Chang Gaoyuan up.

"Big brother, I believe in you."

Chang Gaoyuan heard that a hanging heart finally let go, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister will only lead the troops to fight, and many matters such as food and salary in the army are handled by his wife and brother Li Wentai. The minister then rushed back to investigate the matter thoroughly, and if Li Wentai really committed such an evil deed that is intolerable by heaven, the minister will personally tie him up and punish him according to the laws of the country, and there will be no mercy."

"Big brother doesn't have to mind too much."

Zhu Sheng waved his hand.

"Compared to your brother and my brother's plan, such trivial matters are insignificant. At present, the military must not be disturbed. Big brother, when I say that I believe you, I really believe it, and there is no lie. It's too late, I'm afraid I'm tired after running around for a few days, hurry back to the mansion and rest, tomorrow's court meeting will still need the eldest brother to shock the audience, hahaha."

Zhu Sheng trusted him so much, Chang Gaoyuan couldn't help but be a little moved, and only left after thanking him a thousand times.

Silence returned to the study.

Bang!

Zhu Sheng slammed his fist on the imperial case, and the solid and heavy imperial case shook and trembled a few times, which shows how hard this punch was smashed.

"Ann dare to deceive! Dare to deceive!"

It refers to the pants made of fine silk worn by the children of rich and noble families, and generally refers to the gorgeous clothes of the children of rich families, and refers to the children of rich and noble families.

Later, because the rich and noble children acted more flamboyantly and domineeringly, the word "gentleman" took on a derogatory meaning. More often, in fact, it is still envy, jealousy and hatred.

The four great gentlemen of Kyoto are not to say how evil and heinous these four people are, but because they have a strong family background and spend all day eating, drinking and having fun.

As the head of the four great gentlemen, Chang Huaien is famous for his flamboyant and domineering, obedient personality, preference for women, and good fortune.

Among them, the preference for women is the most talked about by outsiders.

There are similarities between this Chang Yanai and the Gao Yanai that Rong Fei knows, but there are differences.

Gao Yanei robbed the people's daughters and occupied ***, which was hated by people.

Chang Ya is the only woman in the Qinglou, and he ignores the girls in the golden wind and drizzle building he operates, and he wants to take care of the business of other Qinglou.

Chang Yanei's original words are like this: rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest!

Another said: The Qinglou woman is good, she is knowledgeable and interesting, she plays and sings, and she will have more postures than me, not more interesting than any good girl?

At this time, it was past midnight, and in order to maintain his lascivious reputation, Chang Yanei was still fighting with the four Qinglou women in the room without sleep.

The guards guarding the door were so accustomed to the noises coming from the room that they couldn't arouse the slightest sexual interest, and they either leaned against the pillars or simply sat cross-legged on the ground, dozing groggily.

"Who?"

The unfamiliar footsteps alerted the guards, who immediately cheered up and shouted.

A figure

With his hands on his back, he walked to the courtyard, and the cold moonlight illuminated half of his face.

"Wait... Master Hou!"

The guard, who had seen the face of the person clearly, lost his voice in disbelief.

The person who came was the real owner of this mansion, and Jing Yuan was always far away.

But shouldn't Hou Ye be in Qingzhou, thousands of miles away?

Why did you go back to Kyoto quietly?

Even though there were all kinds of doubts in their hearts, the guards did not dare to ask, and hurriedly put away their swords and bowed.

"I've seen Master Hou."

"Go down, no one is allowed to approach here, and those who violate it will be killed!"

Chang Gaoyuan didn't deliberately accentuate his tone, but just spoke eloquently as usual, but when the guards heard the word "chop", they were still trembling with fright, and a cold sweat broke out.

The guards exited the courtyard, and the noise in the room had long since stopped.

Before Chang Gaoyuan in the courtyard waited, the door opened quickly, and the four disheveled Qinglou women walked out of the room, not even daring to glance at Chang Gaoyuan, and hurriedly left with their heads down and against the edge of the courtyard.

"The child has seen his father."

Chang Huaien wore a long robe and ran to Chang Gaoyuan's side to say goodbye.

"The father didn't send anyone to tell him, so that the child could go outside the city to meet him."

Chang Gao glanced at his only son condescendingly, did not make a sound, and walked directly towards the room.

The room was filled with incense powder and other strange smells, Chang Gaoyuan frowned, paused in his steps, and then walked to the round table with a mess of cups and plates and sat down.

"Father, why don't you go to the hall, it's too here..."

"It's okay, close the door, for Father has something to ask you."

Chang Gaoyuan waved his hand.

Chang Huaien was keenly aware of the anger contained in his father's calm tone, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly a few times.

Close the door, tie the robe, and stand on Chang Gaoyuan's side in a nervous mood, bowing his eyebrows and waiting for training.

"Let you sit, not let you stand."

Chang Gaoyuan glared at his son and reprimanded.

Chang Huaien sat on the chair next to him, but he only put half of his butt on it.

Chang Gaoyuan picked up the wine jug on the table and filled the two wine glasses that were used by the nearest one and I don't know who used it, and one of the wine glasses still had half a red lip print on the rim.

"Father, the glass—"

Chang Huaien wanted to say something to remind, but Chang Gaoyuan waved his hand.

"On the battlefield, the blood of the demons seeped into the water bladder, and the dry food was stained with the flesh of the demons, so they still ate and drank. Now having a beautiful woman's lips and wine is a luxury that many soldiers can't think of."

After that, he handed Chang Huaien a wine glass full of wine, touched it, and then raised his head and drank the wine mixed with lip fragrance.

"Good wine, but unfortunately it's not spicy enough, not strong enough! The cups are too small."

"Father, you... You... I suffered!"

Chang Huaien also drank the wine and looked at his father who was covered in dust and white hair and said sadly.

"It is the duty of a soldier to guard the border, so let alone hard work. But Qiu'er, you have worked hard to raise military funds over the years, and even did not hesitate to defile yourself, in case your father was jealous of the court and made you feel wronged."

Qiuer is Chang Huaien's milk name, when he was a child, Chang Gaoyuan often held him in his arms, and Qiu'er kept calling Qiu'er, and it was the first time he called him like this when he grew up.

Chang Huaien's tears suddenly couldn't help but flow.

It is said that the tiger father has no dog, but as the only son of the Great Yan God of War Jing Yuanhou, Chang Huaien is just an unsuccessful "dog".

As everyone knows, Chang Huaien was also a genius boy with great ambitions and extraordinary intelligence, but as Chang Gaoyuan's achievements became more and more brilliant, his prestige in the army became higher and higher, and his power became greater and greater, in order to avoid the suspicion of the court and the emperor, Chang Huaien could only make sacrifices, and became the head of the notorious gentleman against his nature.

wen

Officials can explore flowers three times in one door, father and son have double eyes, and it is passed down as a good story, and celebrities are eternal.

But in the army, father and son are the way to die.

It's just that you have a god of war to control the elite of the border army for decades, do you still want to wait for one and two sides and be in charge of the border army for more than a hundred years?

A hundred years later, is the surname of Bian Jun Chang or Zhu?

Therefore, for the sake of his father's success and fame, Chang Huaien could only defile himself, so as not to be suspicious and feared by the emperor and civil officials.

Chang Gaoyuan originally came to Xingshi to ask about the guilt, but somehow chatting and chatting turned out to be emotional, and his heart softened when he saw his son in tears.

Qiu'er has indeed paid a lot for the Chang family over the years, and has suffered a lot of criticism and grievances.

If it weren't for Qiu'er trying his best to make money, how could he have sufficient military pay to recruit and train private soldiers, how could he use his soldiers' lives, how could he make great achievements, and win the reputation of the god of war.

All of this, the ball is indispensable.

But in the eyes of all Kyoto people, Qiu'er is just a muddy man who can't support the wall.

But if you are soft-hearted, you still have to ask clearly, but in a gentler way.

After a moment of silence, Chang Gaoyuan spoke.

"My father returned to Kyoto at the behest of His Majesty, and when he was discussing state affairs with His Majesty in the Imperial Study, I heard that the Governor of Dongchang, Gong Jiashen, had mentioned a matter. It is said that Rong Fei, who is the Immortal Division, rescued a large number of abducted and trafficked women in a village outside Kyoto, can Qiu'er know about this?"

As soon as the words fell, Chang Gaoyuan noticed that the corners of his son's eyes twitched, and his eyes were flustered for a moment.

Chang Gaoyuan's heart suddenly sank.

Knowing the son is better than the father, this sentence is also applicable in reverse.

Chang Huaien knew that his father's panic just now had been seen by his father, so he no longer hid it, got up from the chair, and knelt on the ground with a pop.

"The son didn't dare to hide it from his father, and that Zhuangzi was indeed secretly purchased by the son."

"You... Why are you so confused?"

Although he had expected it in his heart, when Chang Huaien admitted it himself, Chang Gaoyuan was still so angry that he raised his hand to give Chang Huaien a slap.

But the arm finally stopped in mid-air, and finally slowly put it down, and reprimanded him bitterly.

"Alas! It is not easy for my father to raise military funds for you. You can open a green house, a gambling house, a restaurant, and put money in prints, so why do you want to get involved in the sale of human trafficking, not to mention the harm, and you can make a few silver dollars. Confused! Confused!"

"Father, now the child no longer hides it, those women are not used to make money, but in fact there are other uses." z.br>

Although there were only two of them in the room at the moment, Chang Huaien still unconsciously lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
