The rain was very heavy, the wind mixed with the raindrops swept everything, the thunder rolled through the sky, like the roar of a monster, although it was the end of the day, the day was as dark as dusk, the crackling sound of the rain hitting the eaves was so dense that it was almost inaudible, the drifting heavy rain turned the pavilion into a world of water with the wind, the plates of side dishes on the table had long been soaked by the rain, and the wine in the wine glass had long been as thin as water, but Hongli, who was dressed in white, sat indifferently in the pavilion, Let the wind and rain drench itself into a statue.

Care about? At this point, what is there to care about, isn't it true that you lose? Everything is meaningless, how? What else? Hongli clenched his fists unwillingly, looked at the rainstorm outside the pavilion hatefully, picked up the cup on the table that I didn't know if it was wine or water, drank it in one go, and showed a look on his face that didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and reached out to touch the water droplets on his face, and let out a sad breath. The rain was lighter, but the wind was still very strong, but no matter how strong the wind was, it couldn't blow the desolation on Hongli's face, and he smiled bitterly, Hongli suddenly laughed wildly, and the bitterness in the laughter went straight to the sky.

"Big brother, why are you doing this?" Cao Liangdong, who was dressed in green clothes and was drenched tightly by the rain, quietly appeared in the pavilion at some point, stood behind Hongli for a while, and sighed quietly.

Hongli froze suddenly, turned around with difficulty, looked at Cao Quandong who came suddenly, tears suddenly flowed from his eyes, and he silently didn't say a word, and after a long time, his lips trembled and said: "Mr. Cao, you can be regarded as back, master, me, alas." I lost, I lost completely, I was unwilling, unwilling......"

"Alas, big brother, ...... you" Cao Liangdong smiled bitterly and shook his head, ignoring the water marks on the stone chair, and lifted the hem. sat down opposite Hongli, sighed and said: "Big brother, you fell behind, but you didn't lose originally, at least there is still a few chances, but now you are all ruined by yourself, alas, they all complain that Cao is in a hurry." I didn't explain the matter clearly, but my mother passed away, and Cao had to go back, alas, the eldest brother took the wrong step! ”

"Wrong step? Sir got it all? Hongli reached out to wipe the tears from his face. Asked with a sigh.

"Well, so-and-so just came back and knew. Cao Liangdong glanced at Hongli with pity and said: "The saint is from the conspiracy and tricks, and no one can compare with the saint today, even the fourth and eighth masters of the year can't fight the saint." It is absolutely unfeasible for the eldest brother to secretly play with the saint with the hundred official files, if you want to make the saint valued, there is only one way to make actual achievements, to be honest, the eldest brother is not losing in actual performance this time, but losing in congenital. Let's put it this way, in terms of personality, the second master is stable. Look far, this one is better than the big brother, but the victory is not much, otherwise the saint will not hesitate, if the big brother can stabilize and do it slowly, there is no chance to have the last laugh, but unfortunately this opportunity was ruined by the big brother himself. ”

"Ruined? How so? How so? Hongli muttered unwillingly.

"How not, alas. Big Brother wants to build power. It is understandable that he wants to win some industries to compete with the second master, but the eldest brother should not be. You shouldn't be mixed up with the bastards of the Eight Banners, and what's even more terrifying is you, Big Brother...... You actually used a hundred official files to start from the locality, which happened to violate the holy taboo, alas! Cao Liangdong said with a wry smile.

"Wrong, wrong, hahaha...... Wrong! I was wrong! Hongli Huoran stood up and laughed wildly, the sound of laughter echoing in the back garden of Baylor House.

"What should I do? What to do? Sir teach me, please Sir must teach me! After a long time, Hongli suppressed his smile, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he stared at Cao Liangdong and said.

"Alas. Cao Liangdong sighed and said: "Now there is only one way left in front of the eldest brother, just stop it." ”

"Nope! No! I don't admit defeat! I shouldn't be the one who loses! I'm not convinced! Hongli raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, looking like crazy, and finally grabbed Cao Quandong's hand and said, "Mr. Cao, you must have a way, right?" There must be, there must be, you teach me. ”

"That's it, that's it, alas, so-and-so must have owed you in my last life. Cao Liangdong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Now that the matter is over, the eldest brother must not take another wrong step." ”

"Hmm. Hongli nodded vigorously and said, "Sir, just rest assured, I will definitely listen to Mr." ”

"That's good, Rong Mou said carefully. Cao Liangdong chuckled and said: "The saint has chosen a good family affair for the second master, although he did not explicitly announce that the second master is the successor, but the name of the secret edict must be the second master, as long as you are not a fool, you can see this, presumably the eldest brother also has a number in his heart, so there is no need to say more." People in the world always think that the saint is ruthless, but they don't know that the saint is actually very kind-hearted, hey, it is expected that when the saint chose the second master, he must have felt guilty about the eldest brother, and always felt that he had lost the eldest brother's land, if it wasn't for the eldest brother's blind tossing, this article was originally a place that could be used, but now the eldest brother stretched out his hand, and the guilt in the saint's heart was only afraid that it was much lighter, and the value of use was greatly discounted, alas, it was a pity. ”

"Alas, it's my fault. Hongli patted his head in frustration and said with a painful face.

Cao Liangdong glanced at Hongli, and then said: "But there is still a chance to save, first, since the eldest brother's hand is extended, then stretch it openly, there is no need to look left and right, and there is no need to hide it, let the minions below be busy openly, but remember that until now, other places can no longer be moved." Second, do more things and talk less, cheer up, if people see the depressed appearance of the eldest brother, there is no place for the saint to look down on it, as long as the saint still has guilt in his heart, it is difficult to say whether he wins or loses. ”

"This ......" Hongli was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, this is the matter of reaching out...... Didn't the gentleman say it was time to stop? How ...... it?"

"Hey, can the eldest brother hide it from the saint when he comes in secret?" Cao Liangdong asked without answering.

"I'm afraid I can't, but ......," Hongli said with a frown.

Cao Liangdong slapped his palm and said: "That's right, you can't come in secret, you can come openly, you can't hide it from the saint left and right, so why hide it?" Now the big brother is not deeply trapped. It's not a big deal if it's public, but it won't be too taboo, and it is expected that the saint will definitely not let the Eight Banners magnate have a good life, and it is natural for the eldest brother to participate in it and be hit by the board, but this board is worth it, one can form the heart of the Eight Banners, and the other also makes the saint angry, and this board is also beaten. You can't still hold on to it, anyway, the big brother didn't secretly make it bad, everything is carried out publicly, the big deal is a willful place name, no one can die, and if you get through this hurdle, the big brother can generously admit his mistakes, and all this is even if it is revealed. However, the guilt in the saint's heart is only afraid that it will be a little deeper, and at that time, the eldest brother will naturally have room to use it, as long as he can make the mission beautiful in the future, the saint will see it in his eyes. As long as the second master makes a mistake, hey. The opportunity for the big brother came. ”

"It's as simple as that? What should happen to the affairs of the hundred official files? Hongli asked with some disbelief.

"This time, the eldest brother moved too early, and the saint will inevitably be suspicious of the hundred official files, and I am afraid that this article will not be able to hide it from the saint, but now the eldest brother does not have many people. It's not exposed, this thing can't be moved lightly now, only, well, only at the last minute can it be the last blow. A gleam flashed in Cao Liangdong's eyes, and his face twitched and he said.

"Well, how do you start with the second one?" Hongli thought about it and nodded.

Cao Liangdong smiled and said, "Hey." The second master is now in the limelight, if the expectation is not bad, the next step of the saint should be to let the second master get familiar with local government affairs, and then turn around is the court affairs, well, this riot in Jiangxi, this aftermath of the work is likely to let the second master go to Zhang Luo, and now the second master's wedding is imminent. Even the essentials of this messenger are also after the wedding. The work of the eldest brother can be done in advance, as long as the saint does not issue a clear edict. This thing is done, it is done, just use the Eight Banners business to cover up, let the second master fall in, as long as the second master is not beautiful enough, the saint will think of the good of the eldest brother. ”

"Sir, I mean......" Hongli asked with some surprise. Cao Liangdong didn't answer, but just clenched his open palm abruptly and waved it slightly.

"Okay, master, I'll listen to Mr., and this matter is settled. Hongli gritted his teeth and said with a resolute face.

The summer rain came fiercely, but it went fast, just now it was a rainstorm, in a blink of an eye it was the sunrise of the clouds, the sun after the rain will shine the water vapor out of the colorful rainbow, because of the heavy rain washing, the air in Beijing is also exceptionally fresh, in the Ministry of Industry Yamen busy a day to carry forward today early to go back to the house, did not go back to the room, uncertain towards Xiao Yao lived in the Qingyuan Pavilion, just arrived at the door to hear a burst of Xiao sound, full of hesitation, listen to the promotion of the heart sour, Involuntarily put away the hand that was about to knock on the door, and stood quietly outside the door, listening a little stupid for a while. After a while, Xiao Sheng's voice stopped, but there was a sigh in the room, but it was Xiao Yao who was chanting and singing: "Last night, the wind and rain were sparse, and the heavy sleep did not kill the wine." I tried the curtain people, but the begonias were still the same. Did you know? Did you know? It should be green manure and red manure. Then Xiao Yao coughed a few times, and after a pause, he pushed open the door and walked in slowly.

"Mr. Xiao. Carry forward walked to the seat opposite Xiao Yao and sat down, paused and said, "Mr. has something on his mind?" ”

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "What does the second master want to ask?" But what is the summons of the Holy Beings below? ”

Xiao Yao never said what the saint said to him after facing the saint, although he wanted to know what the hell was going on, but he had never opened this mouth in the past ten days, but he guessed that it might be related to Yixue Gege, seeing that Xiao Yao didn't say it, he kept silent, but seeing that Xiao Yao was thin day by day, he finally couldn't help but want to know a thing or two, at this time, seeing Xiao Yao speak, he didn't have any hypocrisy, just nodded his head, indicating that he meant this.

"That's it, it's actually nothing, the saint gave Xiao someone a choice. Xiao Yao smiled faintly and said, "If you want to be Gege, you still want the second master." ”

"This ......" Hongyang was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously, and quietly waited for Xiao Yao to explain.

"The saint is the emperor, but he is also the father, and the saint's decision is not much to say. Xiao Yao said with a smile: "Xiao is a person in white clothes, and it is naturally a pipe dream to marry Gege, even if the saint is approved, the queen mother and courtiers will not be able to pass that level at all, of course, if Xiao can get a fame, it is different, and if the saint wants to fulfill Xiao, he will also have a name." Although Xiao doesn't dare to admit himself as a talent, it is not difficult to make a name for himself, but if Xiao marries Gege, the fate with the second master should come to an end. ”

Carry forward has been learning the art of scheming with Yinzuo since he was a child, and he was carefully guided by the old man Kangxi, and he is even more clear about the truth that the way of the emperor lies in balance - now Hongyang is actually a prince who does not have the name of the prince, this can be seen by anyone who has a heart in the world, but no one dares to say it, if Xiao Yao marries Yixue Gege and helps carry forward the affairs of affairs, some delicate balances will be broken, and I am afraid that there will be more incidents that will follow, not only that there will be trouble in promoting itself, I am afraid that there will be a lot of turmoil in the harem, and this is the most taboo thing for an emperor.

Carry forward glanced at Xiao Yao deeply, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Xiao's help to Ben Baylor, Ben Baylor will not forget, fortunately, now the big thing is almost the same, Mr. Xiao can not live up to the affection of the eldest sister, Mr. just go to prepare for the exam, there are still ten months before next year's big competition, Mr. should hurry up." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, closed his eyes and did not speak......
