CHAPTER XXV
Hsinchu Palace, when the orchid is in autumn, there is no wind, and the green bamboo leaves in the hall fall.
Jiang Churan stood behind the dragon case, spread a piece of white rice paper on it, and waved it with a royal pen in his hand: Those who have the virtue of Yao Shun can recognize loyalty and sincerity.
She was silent, looking at the ink treasure on the table, the pen is powerful, Shen Xiong is simple, and Yao Pu's calligraphy gestures are exactly the same, after all, he is the emperor's teacher, and Jiang Churan's calligraphy is similar to him.
Jiang Churan threw the lake pen inlaid with gold and jade on the table at will, and in an instant, the white paper was soaked in black, and the words "loyal and sincere minister" could not be seen clearly.
As soon as she sat down, Yun Zhi approached and put away the rice paper, and the air pressure in the Hsinchu Hall was terrifyingly low.
"Yun Niang, what do you say Yao Pu wants?" Jiang Churan's face was calm, but Yun Zhi knew that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair in front of him was already brewing a storm in his heart.
Serving the king is like serving the tiger, and the ancients did not deceive me.
"This ...... The slave really doesn't know. Yun Zhi didn't say a reason for a long time.
Jiang Churan sighed lightly: "Why should the teacher kill himself. ”
When Yun Zhi heard her say this, she suddenly felt cold all over, she glanced at the letter on the imperial case, and wrote it clearly in black and white: The one who hurts the end of the binding, or the prime minister.
The emperor's family was naturally more suspicious than others, and in front of the jade pendant and the envelope of the Prime Minister's Mansion that Yin Xi sent back, Yun Zhi only felt that Yao Pu was finished.
"Why did he garrison Qiang City? Yun Niang, did you say that I should have listened to the first emperor from the beginning and killed Yao Pu? ”
"Otoki-sama hasn't come back yet, maybe things aren't the way they are ......now," Yun Zhi said after careful consideration.
Yun Zhi knew that Jiang Churan had already had murderous intent, but if he killed Yao Pu three years ago, he would just be a man with a false name, but now Yao Pu is the prime minister, and he is a virtuous minister who has been famous among the people for a long time, so he will kill him.
"Your Majesty thinks twice, this time is different from the past, and I am afraid that rashly giving the prime minister to death will cause a storm in the court, not to mention the Yao family behind him."
Jiang Churan pinched his eyebrows with a headache: "Yao Pu has the talent of a general, there are some things that I have been on the throne in the past three years that are not suitable for me to do, he has done a good job, but Yao Pu is not a thing in the pool, he can't be controlled by me, and I don't want to keep him." The love between teachers and students, the friendship between kings and ministers, and these will not make me give up my own interests. As for the Yao family behind him, there are many heirs, even if he is a son-in-law, even if I kill him, as long as I am sincere enough, they will still be used by me. ”
Since ancient times, businessmen have always been indifferent to family affection......
"Although there is no excuse for wanting to add sin, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." Jiang Churan said.
"Call me Changming."
"Yes."
Yun Zhi was left outside the hall, Mo about a half incense time, Chang Ming came out of the hall, he nodded at Yun Zhi, that is the meaning of going out.
Changming turned left and right in the palace, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated palace in the deep palace, he looked around and saw that there was no one, and then walked in.
……
The palace is treacherous, but outside the palace is like a peach blossom source, a peaceful place.
Song Zhouli walked down from the carriage with his little goose in his arms, he looked at the gate of the Song Mansion, and glanced at Lu Hua beside him, Lu Hua walked forward and knocked on the door.
The doorman's voice sounded: "Ask who else?" ”
Lu Hua cleared his throat: "Tell your family, Deputy Zhang Yushi visited." ”
When the doorman heard that it was a court official, he hurriedly went to find Song Zhouli.
"The head of the family, the deputy capital of Zhang Yushi outside the door is visiting."
Song Zhouli was stunned, but quickly came back to his senses: "Hurry up, please." The boy turned around and walked towards the door when he got the order, Song Zhouli thought about it and stopped him: "Wait, this official will go with you." ”
The vermilion door was opened, and Song Zhouli smiled on his face, and waved at Zhang Yihe: "Ming Yu." He glanced at the goose in his arms without a trace, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Zhang Yihe also returned the salute: "Brother Tongqing, I haven't submitted a post, I hope you don't be surprised." ”
"Where, come in and say, come in and say."
The two walked to the main hall, and Song Xiao also happened to come to find Song Zhouli, she saw Zhang Sickhe was obviously stunned, but Zhang Sickhe was smiling, he then put the goose in his arms on the ground, and pushed its ass with a wide palm, and the little goose swaggered towards Song Xiao.
Song Zhouli's brows furrowed, and he said to Song Xiao: "Xiao'er, come and see Master Zhang." ”
Song Xiao heard her brother's words and walked in.
"Zhang specially came to visit and thanked the girl for saving the goose."
"Adults are serious, it's just a gesture."
Zhang Yihe pointed to the little goose that had already walked to her feet: "This goose is the little eight in my family, and it is the most playful." ”
Song Xiao took a look at the little goose beside her, small, surprisingly cute, so she squatted down and held it in her arms.
"Does it come to Shane too?" Song Xiao asked Zhang Aihe.
Zhang Yihe replied with a smile: "No, the girl will be mistaken, it is a thank you gift." ”
When Song Xiao heard him say this, he looked up directly at the elegant and gentle young man who was sitting, and his tone could not hide his joy: "My lord really sent me?" ”
"Naturally, this official said the same."
Song Zhouli looked at his uncompetitive sister, and said busily: "Xiao'er, that's Lord Zhang's pet." ”
Zhang Yihe stopped him: "Brother Tongqing, it's fine." It's not a painful love, the government is busy, my family has eight geese, and I don't want to fake my hands to others, which is indeed a little difficult. Besides, it has a relationship with Ling Mei. ”
As soon as he said that the government was busy, Song Zhouli's forehead was a little sweaty, since he participated in Xu Mu last time......
Zhang Yihe walked to Song Xiao's side, bent down, and looked at the goose in her arms: "If I miss it, I wonder if I can come and see it?" ”
Song Xiao knew that he was asking himself, so he nodded and said, "Naturally." ”
After getting a positive answer, Zhang Yihe smiled at the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look at Song Zhouli: "Brother Tongqing, I will have to bother a lot in the future." ”
Song Zhouli was helpless, he said to Song Xiao: "Xiao'er, you go out first." ”
Zhang Aihe took off his clothes and sat back again, hiding the smile on his face: "I have to thank Brother Tongqing for the previous matter." ”
Song Zhouli's hand under the sleeve clenched unconsciously, and then let go again: "Ming Yu ......"
Zhang Zhihe interrupted him with a faint expression: "I know what Brother Tongqing wants to say, there will be no next time." ”
"Mingyu, you are kind to my Song family, I should repay you with everything, just ......" Song Zhouli smiled bitterly: "You also saw it, my sister I can't help but think about her." ”
Zhang took a sip of tea and did not answer.
Song Zhouli continued: "This time, you rashly joined the concubine of the Xu family, and you have already married the Xu family. Above the court, many people are beginning to move, just waiting to take your fault, so as to take the opportunity to show their faces on the Xu family's side, I can't help you much, you have to be careful in the future. ”
Zhang Yihe knew what he was afraid of: "What Brother Tongqing said is that Ming Yu wrote it down. ”
"Xiao'er, she doesn't want a brother with blood on his hands, and I can't keep her safe like this......"
Zhang Yihe put the tea cup on the table, he looked at the sky, got up and said goodbye to Song Zhouli: "Brother Tongqing, I will retire first." ”
"Well, I'll send you."
Sending Zhang Sickhe away, Song Zhouli turned back, and heard the girl's silver bell-like laughter and the goose cry mixed with it, and unconsciously smiled.
"Call the girl." He looked at Ah Shuidao beside him.
Song Xiao followed behind Ah Shui, and she followed the little goose.
"Brother."
Song Zhouli waved his hand and said to the people next to him, "Let's all go down." ”
Song Xiao looked at his serious expression, pointed to the little goose behind him and said, "Brother, what about it, can it stay?" ”
Song Zhouli frowned, and said to Ah Shui, who had just stepped out: "Ah Shui, take it out." ”
When there were only two brothers and sisters left in the house, Song Zhouli said, "Do you remember the year I brought you to Beijing?" ”
Song Xiao didn't know what to do, but still replied: "Remember, that year we started from the west, and my brother was going to participate in the imperial examination, and we had a very difficult time. ”
"That's right, that winter, it was very cold, and you got a wind chill on the way......"
Song Xiao naturally remembered, but she didn't understand why Song Zhouli wanted to bring up the old matter again, Song Zhouli continued: "My brother has no money, so he can't take you to the doctor." Even after so many years, when he mentions it again, Song Zhouli still feels afraid.
Song Xiao said: "Yes, my brother said that it was a good person who generously gave me medicine, so that I could survive." ”
Song Zhouli forcibly suppressed his panic: "That's right, that young man is Master Zhang." ”
When Song Xiao heard his words, her heart suddenly understood: "No wonder I had dinner with Sister Asu that day, and my brother didn't let me say that Lord Zhang was not." ”
"Why did my brother tell me now? I couldn't even thank him and took his goose. Song Xiao said angrily.
Song Zhouli looked at her, he didn't want to tell Song Xiao that this kind of kindness would be fine for him as a brother, but Zhang Yihe actually let him kill in order to protect himself, his sister is a simple-hearted, and now tell her that Zhang Yaohe will use this incident as an excuse to use her in the future.
"In short, this kindness, my brother has already repaid it, so I told you that my brother is tired of you, and Xiao'er has to return this kindness to my brother."
Song Xiao immediately smiled on her face: "Brother is stingy, then I will be reluctant to behave in the future." ”
Song Zhouli looked at her innocent appearance and muttered, "It's so good." ”
