There is a teahouse in the southeast of Ruoshui Street, and the teahouse is full of people, talking about an interesting story that happened a few days ago, and the protagonist of this interesting story is still the famous Mr. Su of Seven Senses Academy, who has been talking for seven consecutive days. There were about four teahouses in the whole street, and the other three teahouses found that this method was a way to make money, so they learned it and preached it for seven days.

So far, half a month has passed.

The storyteller was sweating profusely, took off his thick jacket, opened the broken folding fan, fanned the wind under his armpits, poured a sip of tea and continued: "This Mr. Su is different from those small jasper, she has the spirit of a man, understands the knowledge that women don't understand, and does what women can't do, she is really the first person in heaven and earth, throughout the ages!" This temperament is also different, although it is not as good as Mr. Jin in appearance, but it is unique compared to Mr. Jin. It is said that this Mr. Su is from the Chu State, and there are many strange people in the Chu State, and she is also a strange person. ”

A man in the audience shook his fan and said with a smile: "What you said is strange, I have never heard of such a woman in the next place, you said that this Mr. Su solved the unsolved case and saved the Nangong family, then you can explain and explain, how did she solve the unsolved case?" ”

The storyteller put away the broken fan and placed it on the table.

"Since Brother Ren said this, then let's simply talk about the key person who solved the case, Mo Xuan!"

The teahouse suddenly became lively, and the man who shook the fan bent the crescent moon and took a sip of tea.

The storyteller continued: "Presumably everyone is also familiar with it, at the end of that day, Miss Xuan went to Yin's Mansion to play music to cheer up, but she bumped into Yin Gongzi and beat Jia Gongzi, which solved the unsolved case. ”

Everyone thought it was a thrilling, twisted and bizarre allusion, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.

A slightly drunken man stood up with a flask, staggered up the steps, leaned on the storyteller's shoulder, stretched out a hand and tapped on the bookcase, and said, "You old man's information is inaccurate!" How did I hear that it was Craftsman Li from the dark market who provided the most important clues, obviously he identified Yin Yun, why did he come to you upside down?! ”

The storyteller arched his hand and lost his hand, "This uncle, we have always paid attention to the word interesting when talking about storytelling, if you follow your way, it won't be very interesting, and everyone is not curious about the origin of Craftsman Li, so naturally they are more interested in this Moxuan girl, do you say yes or no?" After that, he asked the audience.

The man waved his hand, moved a stool and sat down, "Then tell me what earth-shattering story this Yunlai Pavilion's top brand has!" ”

The storyteller knocked the fan on the book case, and said mysteriously: "Speaking of this Mo Xuan, I know some secrets. As soon as these words came out, the teahouse immediately boiled again. The storyteller reopened the broken fan with satisfaction and said: "Mo Xuan was originally from Linguo, it is said that he had been a singer in the General's Mansion, and then the general was assassinated, so he left the General's Mansion and went to the Yunlai Pavilion of Chu State, and became famous in just half a year. But what I want to talk about today is another matter, that is, this Mo Xuan girl and that general had a very poignant fate, you should listen to me slowly. ”

At this point, everyone knew it, and they donated money and threw money to the stage.

The fan-shaking man shook his head, bored, and left on his own. After walking a few steps, he met a young man dressed as an attendant, leaned into his ear and said, "Lord, the prince has gone to the Seven Senses Academy." ”

His movement of shaking the fan stopped abruptly, "Prince? ”

This person is none other than Rong Guo's famous idle prince, Wei Yao.

As the sun set, he put away the folding fan and inserted it into his belt, and said with great interest: "It seems that the imperial brother also wants to meet that Mr. Su." Let's go, and follow the king to the academy. ”

As soon as they entered the academy, there was a commotion, and the maids who sprinkled the sweepers threw brooms and kettles and rushed to the west. As soon as Wei Yao landed, before he could figure out the reason, he heard the footsteps behind him recently, subconsciously looked back, immediately took two steps back, and lowered his head, "Brother Chen has seen Brother Prince." ”

Today's Wei Zixu, wearing a jade crown, a unicorn hairpin, and a colored brocade robe, except for the python pattern on the neckline can symbolize his identity, the rest is very ordinary. He has a bright jade face, light steps, and looks in a good mood. Behind him were two columns of palace maids and eunuchs, looking around, the palace maids were beautiful and graceful, even the eunuchs were greased and powdered, and they were even more meticulous in their dressing, which was no different from that ordinary son. He raised his hand, and when Wei Yao got up, he put his hand on his left shoulder and smiled kindly: "Brother Yao, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are still the same, where is the excitement, it seems that if the palace wants to find you in the future, just go directly to the lively place." ”

"Brother Prince, I laughed, my brother heard that Brother Prince also came to the academy, so I came to greet him."

"Then let's go together." Wei Zixu walked with him on the shoulders, like a brother, and continued: "Some time ago, the palace sat in the palace to hear the trial and witnessed a big case, among which the woman named Su Yan impressed the palace the most, have you ever heard of the origin of this person? ”

Wei Yao's eyes were blazing: "It seems that the prince's brother and his courtier's brother coincide!" ”

"Oh? Listen to you, you're here for her! ”

"This... Half and half of it! ”

Wei Zixu raised his eyebrows, how could he not know his thoughts in his heart, but he was embarrassed to poke it, so he pretended to believe it. At this time, a few attendants stepped forward in a panic and knelt on the ground, "Servants greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince." The lord in charge has set up a banquet and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince to move. ”

Wei Zixu was startled at first, and then a smile spread out on his face, "I have long heard that Zuo Qing is talented, he is a genius, and his appearance is extremely outstanding. ”

After saying that, everyone turned on their toes and followed the prince to the meditation temple.

Zuo Qing greeted him outside the courtyard early, and before the prince approached, he already knelt down and bowed, "Zuo Qing, deputy head of the Seven Senses Academy, greet His Royal Highness the prince and the prince." ”

His voice was soft, and it seemed to blend in with the spring breeze in the garden.

The prince seemed to have fallen to the ground as if a treasure had fallen to the ground, and hurriedly walked over to help him up, "Sir doesn't have to salute, this palace is just hanging out this time." ”

"It's etiquette, as it should be. When he heard that the two His Highnesses were coming, he immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet and prepare for aging, and dared to invite His Royal Highness and the prince to deign to the Zen Meditation Monastery to drink and enjoy the scenery together. Although he respects him as honorable, there is no inferiority on his face.

"Oh?" Wei Zixu couldn't help but rejoice, "Sir, there is still good wine here?" ”

Zuo Qing still lowered his eyes and led the prince in.

A group of mermaids rushed in and entered the courtyard gates. Passing through the peach blossom forest, the peach blossoms have not bloomed, but there are many unknown wild flowers, climbing on the branches of the peach trees, there is a unique scenery. The prince couldn't help but stop to watch and praise: "Mr. is really interesting and elegant, and it is really amazing to create this peach forest so chic!" Walking to the last courtyard gate, I saw from a distance that the Xinghan Pavilion was located in the high wall, and pointed to the pavilion for a good reputation: "I heard that the Xinghan Pavilion is a picture made by the craftsman Yu Qi himself, and he built it by himself. ”

Finally arrived at the Xinghan Pavilion, Zuo Qing deliberately set up a wooden platform in an open space outside the pavilion, and then spread a thick carpet, pressed the smoker at the four corners, and lined up three sandalwood cases in the middle. The maid waited beside the aisle, and after the prince took his seat, he immediately stepped forward to pour wine, and from time to time other maids served vegetables, fruits, wine and meat. The prince became more and more interested when he saw these good-looking maids: "Mr. has a unique vision, even the maids are so smartly selected." Speaking of which, the palace is far behind, the east palace is not as elegant as here, Mr. This Zen meditation temple, from the inside to the outside, all aspects are really like a fairyland, so beautiful that it is incomprehensible! ”

Zuo Qing got up unhurriedly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has tormented his humble position, the humble position is just a layman, but he doesn't want the courtyard to be too dead, so he planted this peach tree full of courtyards, if His Royal Highness likes it, he will be waiting for His Highness at any time." ”

The prince took a sip of wine and said, "It's exactly what the palace wants." He waved his hand, and immediately a palace maid knelt down to the center of the banquet and presented a wooden box, "This thing is the white lotus of the Snow Mountain, a tribute treasure for the Wu Kingdom, and I visited today for a gift." ”

Wei Yao glanced at the things presented by the palace maid, couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart: Brother Crown Prince is really still like those laymen, trying his best to tie up with Zuo Qing in order to consolidate his position! It seems that he has made up his mind to make up his mind to be the enemy of Murphy!

Zuo Qing faced the white snow lotus in the box, and his heart was not shocked, but he still saluted the prince, "Your Highness Longen, I am grateful for my humble duties." ”

The prince helped him up with satisfaction, feeling that he was almost about to enter the topic, and turned to Wei Yao and said, "Aren't you going to talk to Mr. Su, it's still early, you go over first, and then come to look for you after I finish drinking this pot of tea with the master." ”

Wei Yao didn't understand the meaning of his words, and immediately got up: "Then the subordinate brother will retreat first." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Zuo Qing again. Facing the two royals, his face still had a calm and breezy expression, which made people feel cold down his spine.

He had a lot of curiosity and a lot of fear about this Murphy's righteous son. In his memory, this Zuo Qing seems to be Mo Fei's righteous son as soon as he appears in Ruoshui, living in the academy all the year round, although he is only a deputy head of the academy, he can meet Ruoshui left and right, whether it is a hundred officials in the court or a Kyoto family, he is polite to him, it can't be because of this identity, right? Ge Yiyan is still Murphy's nephew, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the Kyoto officials respect him much. Come to think of it, he really has the ability, otherwise Murphy would not have been able to accept him.

In the past few years, Murphy's power has grown rapidly, and most of it is Zuo Qing who secretly gives advice. And now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly found him, and it seemed that he smelled something wrong.

Wei Yao didn't think much about it anymore and bowed and retreated.

Wei Zixu stepped back, put down the wine in his hand, and tested him: "Mr. has long known that this palace is coming to the academy?" ”

Zuo Qing smiled slightly: "The prince is coming, how can you not be alarmed?" ”

"Sir worships under the Murphy Gate, why do you specially welcome the palace to your meditation temple, don't you know that the palace and Murphy have always been at odds?" The prince's face was still amiable, but his words were full of persecution and suspicion.

"Yes."

"Then why are you still close to me?"

"The prince is wise, he should understand my thoughts."

The prince was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, sir has a good eye!" ”

Zuo Qing shook his head and acquiesced to this.

He said solemnly: "Mr. is a smart man, and there is no need to beat around the bush in this palace, so far today, it is fake to hang out, and it is important to come to see Mr. You." Since the gentleman is also interested in joining my command, let's open the door and get down to business. ”

Zuo Qing slowly drank a glass of wine, and at this time, a maple leaf floated from a distance, landed on the dining table, and he brushed it away. Affectionate indifference, as if everything had already been predicted.

Wei Zixu is Emperor Rong's third son, and his biological mother Concubine Qi is a female official in the palace, and Emperor Rong included her in the harem just because of the queen's joke, and Emperor Rong's liking for her is far less than that of the queen who looks like the city. When Wei Zixu was born, the crown prince Wei Zhen was already the center of everyone, and his birth did not cause a sensation in the palace, and even Emperor Rong did not come to see it a few times.

Concubine Qi endured for her son for many years, and finally waited for the death of the queen and the crown prince. The position of the crown prince was vacant, and Concubine Qi relied on Murphy's help to finally bring her son into the East Palace!

However, Wei Zixu was unwilling to be controlled by Murphy, and had been carefully arranged for many years, ostensibly obeying his words, but secretly he was co-opting officials and buying off the generals in the palace. In just a few years, all the Mo Party in the East Palace has been eradicated, and the palace guards have also been replaced, and they have been bought. But how could Murphy not know his movements, those who were replaced and bought were just a scene he played for Wei Zixu, and the real eyes and ears had long been rooted in the court, how could they be easily shaken.

Mo Fei didn't kill him, maybe it was because he missed the friendship for a few years, or maybe he just felt that Wei Zixu was not worth mentioning.

Now Wei Zixu and Mo Fei have turned their faces, and finally realized the deceit above the court, there used to be Mo Fei's support, and the three provinces and six departments were convinced, but they lost their support, and those who used to flatter him began to turn their backs. There was nothing else around him except for a few loyal ministers under Concubine Qi.

Wei Zixu is still young and vigorous after all, and he has offended Mo Fei, I am afraid that it will be difficult for this prince to stay for a long time.

So, here he comes.

When Zuo Qing thought of this, he only felt ridiculous. For some people, power is more important than everything, but for themselves, it is just a bargaining chip for a life.

His mind suddenly flashed the faces of his father and mother when he was a child, the plum tree under the courtyard wall, and the picture of his brothers fighting together. At that time, everything was so happy, and there was no need to be like now, scheming step by step, and calculating fate.

The prince Wei Zixu in front of him is actually as pitiful as himself.

Zuo Qing withdrew from his memories and just pulled an indifferent smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts me, and I am grateful for my humble duties, but..."

Wei Zixu's smile stopped abruptly and stared at him nervously.

Zuo Qing's index finger and ring finger tapped on the case, and after a long time, he was finally relieved: "Your Highness's current predicament is not a day's cold, and it takes time to be humble." ”

Wei Zixu breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand to him: "If Mr. can complete what this palace thinks, this palace will never treat Mr. badly, and in the future, I will leave it to you!" He made all the benefits clear, thinking that this would make Zuo Qing sway even more.

Zuo Qing replied: "Your Highness is serious. ”
