Shen Hong looked at Mu Yu's departing figure and led him out of the courtyard before looking at Lin Piao: "What are you talking about, Brother Mu?" ”

"Said that Tuoba Hong was arrested."

"Inside."

Shen Hong led him inside, asked him to sit down at the table, and poured him a cup and put it in his hand.

"Someone found that Tuoba Hong had secretly hidden the patrol map of Shangjing, this matter is very serious, and it is inevitable that he will be detained, Mu Yu's business has been affected now, and he is more anxious, but after a while, he will naturally get better."

"Will Mu Yu be implicated?"

"No, Tuoba Hong is worried about being discovered, he asked a Western Regions dancer to draw for him, and hid it in her makeup, Mu Yu didn't know about it, and the things were not where Mu Yu lived."

Lin Piao thought about it and sighed: "I don't make this large amount of money, what are you doing here, now that I am arrested, it is even more worth the loss." ”

"This may not be a business, the artifacts brought by the Western Regions are sold at a high price in Shangjing, and then the patrol map of Shangjing is brought to the Western Regions, which is still a treasure that is hard to find."

“……”

I'm pretty good at doing business.

Lin Piao had already drunk half of the tea, and Shen Hong filled it up for him: "I went to the Jingyang Prince's Mansion today, nothing happened." ”

"It's nothing, the princess of Jingyang just wants to win over the relationship between us, but you also know, the princess, the relationship is also high, and he rewarded me with a bunch of things, and then I expressed my flattery, and I just kept thanking it."

Shen Hong smiled: "You have suffered. ”

"It's not bitter or bitter, the food in the Princess's Mansion is very delicious, and after eating two meals, I have enjoyed a good meal." Lin Piao looked at him and tried to turn the conversation back to Tuoba Hong.

"Then why is Mu Yu so sure that this matter has something to do with you."

"I don't know, maybe it's a misunderstanding."

"Oh......"

"Piao'er doesn't believe me? I don't treat him like this just because he is offended by a few words. ”

Lin Piao was skeptical, but when he saw Shen Hong's gaze, he could only nod: "I know, believe you, besides, I said don't call me Piao'er, the flesh is numb." ”

"That's called Lin Piao?"

"Okay."

Lin Piao drank tea, and after emptying the teacup, he stood up: "Okay, I'm going back to rest." ”

Shen Hong followed and got up to see him off, and Lin Piao glanced at it and saw a somewhat familiar thing lying on Shen Hong's desk, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Hong walked in front of him.

Lin Piao pushed him away: "Don't stand in your way." "I walked to the desk and looked at the booklet on the table, and the pattern on it was very familiar, it was a pale yellow book shell with orchids painted on it.

It's a booklet that Satsuki used to record the identity of Miss Houta's brother.。

Lin Piao stretched out his hand, opened the pages of the book, and sure enough, it was the booklet, and looked back at Shen Hong: "Have you changed to an intelligence business?" ”

Shen Hong said indifferently: "In order to know myself and the enemy, I will watch it for two days and return it to Xiaoyue." ”

"Remember this, aren't you tired and panicking?"

"If you make it clear and explain things to others, there won't be much to do."

Lin Piao could only look at him in amazement, and was a little helpless, where is this something that a person who works in the Hanlin Academy should ponder, he really has made all the preparations, just waiting for the opportunity to rise.

The two talked a few words, and Shen Hong sent Lin Piao out of the door, and continued to sit behind the desk and read.

It didn't take long for Tuoba Hong's verdict to come down, and because the word "spy" was particularly angry, no one would give him accommodation, and he was sentenced to be hanged.

In the second month, Lin Piao went to see Tang Bai several times, Tang Bai was also very depressed about this matter, but he couldn't help Tuoba Hong to justify, he went to visit Tuoba Hong, and even Tuoba Hong said that someone wanted to harm him, otherwise things would not have come to this point, he was so angry but did not deny it, he did draw a patrol map.

His cousin's affairs made him very sensitive to this kind of thing, and he didn't know what to say at this time.

Lin Piao could only ask them to prepare some decapitated food for Tuoba Hong, and he didn't know what else to say, and sure enough, people couldn't be too arrogant, Tuoba Hong was accepted before he was arrogant, and Lin Piao could only mourn for him.

In the middle of summer, Uncle Qiu and Ergou arranged the affairs of the state capital, and rushed all the way to Shangjing, they came to Shangjing, as usual, to do business, expand the circle, and there is no difference from the past.

In the words of some wealthy businessmen who often mingle in Beijing, the situation in Beijing is also extremely tense, that is, every year and a half in Beijing, there is always a tense situation.

The reason for this nervousness is very simple, the second prince is getting more and more sacred hearts, although the emperor is not old, but he feels that he is about the same age, and it is time to train the next generation well for the stability of the court.

At this time, the second prince, who has always been gentle and is currently the eldest son, has become a popular candidate.

Not surprisingly, the emperor should appoint the second prince as the crown prince, and after the death of the eldest prince, the Daning Dynasty finally has a crown prince again.

At this time, the supporters of the Four Princes and the Five Princes were naturally desperately obstructing, especially the faction of the Four Princes, which was backed by military power, and everyone had the strength to touch each other downward, so there was a serious mutual sniping in the court, and every morning was a giant sniper at the middle gate.

And because they hurt each other in this way, they naturally did not suffer any harm while standing on the chessboard, and the subordinates and vassals who supported them outside the chessboard were cleansed out a lot.

The emperor once again sat on the dragon throne and watched the tiger fight, paying attention to a stable state of mind, and then slamming the table when encountering mutual revelations, and scolding you for betraying my trust! You make me so sad!

Then those who should be demoted will be demoted, those who can be dismissed will be dismissed, and those who are useless will be directly exiled.

When Shen Hong stayed in the Hanlin Academy, Wen Xie Qingyou talked to Lin Piao about this matter, saying that Shen Hong and his group of people had good luck, and as soon as they came out, the Beijing officials had stable happiness, and they did not need to go out for ten years or eight years before they could return to the center of this right.

The more the prince grows up now, the faster the speed of blood exchange and cleaning in the court will rotate, and the emperor has to pay attention to the introduction of new talents and the cultivation of new talents.

For a person like Shen Hong, who is ready for everything, the east wind will not be far away, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a holy decree to descend on this day when the cicadas were singing in the middle of summer and the situation was tense, and the marriage was given to Shen Hong and the Huang family.

The Huang family was originally a faction of the two princes, in the eyes of everyone, Shen Hong has been wavering in the middle to make trade-offs, did not choose any forces, and now the emperor gives marriage, so that Shen Hong will be the courtier of the second prince, is ordered to support the second prince, and give him a position of Hanlin attendant.

It was a simple teaser that told everyone in Shangjing that no matter how you fight, I already plan to train the second prince as my successor.

Just to prevent further contradictions, he did not directly appoint the second prince as the crown prince, and now the position of the crown prince is still vacant.

Lin Piao didn't expect that they were about to start a spark, and the last sacrifice was actually Shen Hong's marriage.

After sending away the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree, everyone was a little dumbfounded when they looked at the holy decree in Shen Hong's hand, Xiaoyue and Juan'er were a little dazed, and after looking at Shen Hong's reaction, they felt that they should be happy, but they felt that the happiness at the moment seemed so inappropriate.

Da Zhuang was still at a loss, and the second pillar who was picked up from the bed was still dizzy: "Marriage? ”

Ergou glanced at Erzhu and signaled him not to speak, but Erzhu received the look and chose to close his mouth first.

Ergou glanced at Shen Hong, and then at his sister-in-law, but he didn't squeak.

Shen Hong held the holy decree in his hand and hung it by his side, his expression was extremely cold, and he only glanced sideways at Lin Piao: "Let's eat." ”

They prepared lunch, but the call was interrupted.

They returned to the courtyard and had an extraordinarily silent lunch, although they didn't know what was going on, they basically knew that Brother Shen Hong didn't like Miss Huang, and it was normal for Brother Shen Hong to be not so happy when he was forced to marry someone he didn't like.

After they had lunch, seeing that the atmosphere was inexplicably not very good, they each went back to their respective courtyards, leaving only Shen Hong and Lin Piao at the dinner table.

The dishes on the dinner table were cleaned, and two cups of tea were brought up and placed in front of them.

The door closed, and Shen Hong reached out to him, holding his hand unabashedly for the first time.

"I won't marry the Huang family."

Lin Piao felt his hand reaching over, his knuckles were clenched tightly, and the temperature of Shen Hong's palm kept transmitting.

"Do you want to resist?"

Shen Hong's face was very cold, almost a little gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his dark eyes: "I will set the wedding date first, and before the wedding date, I will deal with this matter." ”

Lin Piao understood his intentions, so he would first gain some time and then intercept it before the matter was completely completed, as long as there was enough time, there would definitely be a way.

Lin Piao sighed, he didn't want to say anything discouraged, but he felt that Shen Hong had used too much energy in this matter, and used all his future to take such a road with no end in sight: "Shen Hong, the road ahead is too difficult, there is still the next level after passing this level, don't embarrass yourself." ”

"I need a goal, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Shen Hong held his hand and tightened it a little: "You just have to wait for me and don't go away, if I can't do it, I won't stop you from leaving or marrying someone else." ”

Lin Piao is not just for him, it is all.

Seeing that Lin Piao nodded, the turmoil in Shen Hong's heart calmed down a lot, what he was most worried about was that Lin Piao would leave because of this, as long as Lin Piao was stabilized, the rest could be arranged slowly and in an orderly manner.

What this holy decree needs most is not that the girl of the Huang family marries him, but that he has to assist the second prince, neither of which is his favorite option, and the emperor treats him as a chess piece and puts it firmly in the position he wants.

He has to make a perfect piece in order to mobilize the resources on the board.

Lin Piao looked at him silently, he couldn't understand him at all, Shen Hong's things were getting more and more complicated, Xiaoyue was helping him collect information about the back house, and Ergou was helping him get all kinds of news about the Xilou, Lin Piao knew that he was developing some intelligence work, but he could extract the information he wanted from a large amount of complicated information, which was not something that ordinary people could do.

"Actually, I've always wanted to know, what you want to do, what you're doing now, isn't what a Hanlin should do."

Shen Hong looked at Lin Piao: "I think very simply, Lin Piao, I want to have a safe life, whether it is a loyal minister or a powerful minister, once the power is out of his hands, it is difficult to have a good end, I want to have a safe life, no matter what I do, no matter what position I am in, we can live peacefully." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Then let's work hard, try hard, and if it doesn't work, we will withdraw, is this okay?" ”

Lin Piao couldn't look at Shen Hong anymore, of course he could continue to stand where he was, all the choices came from whether Shen Hong could cross this long river, he had the choice to come over, and if he didn't come, everything would be over.

But this is Shen Hong.

He looked at Shen Hong, who grew up, Shen Hong, who was meticulous to him, and tolerated all his bad temper and even cold and violent Shen Hong.

Lin Piao's heart couldn't bear it.

Even if you can't make it to the end, it's impossible to see someone like him supporting him.

It's a joint career.

Shen Hong looked at him steadily, and after a while he reacted to what Lin Piao said, the throbbing of his heart surged one after another, as if he had breathed oxygen in a long period of suffocation, he took Lin Piao's hand, let his palm touch his cheek, and gently pressed it, feeling the temperature and softness of his palm: "Okay." ”

"I will try my best to open the embroidery workshop within this month, I can't do too much specifically, but Xiaoyue will explain it clearly, Tongxilou will be handed over to Ergou, but Ergou has to prepare for the exam, you better explain these things to Da Zhuang clearly, I can't do too much else."

"I'll take care of the rest, it's enough for you to accompany me."

"Even if I don't accompany you, you will go all the way to the dark, dead eyes."

Shen Hong lowered his head and chuckled, gently holding his hand, and rubbing his cheek against Lin Piao's palm.

He didn't give up, how could he bet that Lin Piao would be soft on him at the moment.

Chapter 136

Lin Piao agreed to what Shen Hong wanted to do, so naturally he would not delay, returned to the courtyard, and immediately called Xiaoyue and Juan'er over, and told them that he was going to open an embroidery workshop.

They are going to change from private haute couture to haute couture with physical stores.

"The price of embroidery sold in Shangjing is naturally different from that in the county government, and the name cannot be used before, you see if you have any favorite names to use."

When Xiaoyue and Juan'er heard that they were finally about to take the step of opening a store, their faces were excited, and they thought for a long time when they mentioned their names: "Little sister-in-law, you decide, what name do you see?" ”

Lin Piao thought for a moment: "Not only do we have to choose a new name for the embroidery workshop, but the things in our embroidery workshop sell for a high price, so you may have to change the name as well." Lin Piao looked at them with sincere eyes.
