As soon as everything was on the right track, Jiang Shanxing was appointed as the governor of Jiangnan, and among the Beijing officials brought by Sheng Chengming, there was an adult surnamed Ge who performed prominently in the flood and was transferred to the prefect of Suzhou.

Although all the officials want to be Beijing officials, in fact, the group of people under Sheng Chengming have no status and rights in Beijing, and the Suzhou prefect is fat in comparison. What's more, they have personally gone deep into the disaster area this time for disaster relief, and have eaten and lived with the victims for a period of time, so they have long developed feelings for this land.

Everything is getting better, one day at the end of July, the autumn wind rises and falls, the persimmons in the courtyard are about to ripen, Sheng Chengming wore an apricot-yellow robe and came to say goodbye to Rong Tang.

The weather became cooler, and Rong Tang sat in the courtyard playing chess with Su Huaijing.

The order returned to normal, and Sheng Chengming was embarrassed to catch Huaijing as a strong man every day, so he spent time with Tang Tang day after day.

Sheng Chengming brought a large number of medicinal herbs over and introduced them to Rong Tang in the same way: "I will return to Beijing tomorrow, if my cousin wants to stay in Jiangnan for a while, he must take care of his body." ”

After two months of getting along, Rong Tang's opinion of the second prince of Emperor Renshou has changed a lot, although he is a reckless prince, but his nature is not bad, and he even has a very rare and naïve innocence of innocence, which is a good thing for the country and the people.

Rong Tang got up and said goodbye to him: "Your Highness's return to Beijing this time is a long way, and it is not all smooth to come, remember to take care." ”

Sheng Chengming was slightly stunned, and looked at Rong Tang with a somewhat strange expression for a while, wanting to see a little emotion on his face other than greetings, but no, Rong Tang was just ordinary throughout the whole process, and he didn't talk to him about any trivial matters in the officialdom.

Sheng Chengming couldn't think much about it, and after saying goodbye to the two of them again, he left the house.

The second prince wants to return to Beijing, and the officials in Suzhou always have to practice for him, but there is no need for Rong Tang to worry about it.

He sat down again, picked up a sunspot, looked at the chessboard and thought about it carefully, and dropped it.

Su Huaijing took a look, and it happened to be a situation where the sunspot was besieged and the white son was attacked by the enemy. His eyes lit up slightly, and he thought it was amused and happy.

Rong Tang rarely shows such a strong aggression in chess games, he has always been passive, and he needs to be constantly coaxed and eaten away at the turf little by little, so that he can find a little meaning worth working on from lazy games.

Su Huaijing made a few moves, and watched Rong Tang force himself back step by step, the more interest in his eyes became, but Rong Tang's expression became more and more unsightly.

The autumn breeze rose slightly, the leaves in the courtyard fell, Rong Tang picked up a sunspot in his hand, his eyes shuttled back and forth on the chessboard twice, threw it back to the chessboard with a "bang", and raised a pair of obsidian-like eyes to look at Su Huaijing: "Are you letting me?" ”

"Nope." Su Huaijing denied it with a smile, leaned over and took out one from the chess cup in front of him, landed it on the chessboard, and then dropped the white piece himself, the black son's pressing posture was instantly relieved, and the white chess tore out a faint gap from it, "As soon as Tang Tang lets me, I will live." ”

Rong Tang glanced at him, too lazy to take care of it: "Don't play." ”

Su Huaijing clearly didn't use all his strength, and every move was played in an unexpected place for Rong Tang, as if he fell these pieces, not to win this game of chess at all, but to see how many means Rong Tang still had to force him back.

This is not even a teaching chess, Rong Tang is too lazy to play again.

He got up, sat down on the chaise longue to the side, his whole body sunk in, and raised his eyes to look up at the leaves above his head to see the drifting clouds and the looming sun.

Su Huaijing laughed lightly, not annoyed or panicked, and did not ask Rong Tang to come back and continue to accompany him to play this game of chess, he just put the black chess cup in front of him, broke up and held the black and white chess pieces, and said while playing: "Tang Tang wants to remind His Royal Highness, by the way, remind me that this trip to the south, although it is fortunate for the people of Jiangnan, but for the officials of the DPRK and China, the interests of too many people have been moved. ”

As he spoke, he dropped a piece on the chessboard, and a thick white cloud floated through the leaves.

Rong Tang didn't respond, and Su Huaijing continued: "Sheng Chengming left Beijing for three months, and the situation in Beijing must have changed. At the end of April, because of the impeachment of Zhang Baoshan, the governor of the southwest, Yang Xingye, an old subordinate of Zhang Ge, had been dismissed, and now that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River have led Lu Junxian to be escorted back to Beijing. In just three months, although His Royal Highness has made great achievements on the surface, in fact, the Second Prince's Party has lost two generals. Tang Tang reminded him that the distance was far away, and it was not a smooth road, that is, he told him to guard against arrogance and rashness after returning and to have less contact with bureaucrats. ”

Su Huaijing paused, raised his eyebrows, and asked Rong Tang with a smile: "But so?" ”

Rong Tang's gaze retracted from the gap between the leaves, and he turned his head to Su Huaijing: "I don't know." ”

Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, couldn't stop laughing, tapped his fingers on the chess table, and fell leisurely again: "Well, Ning Xuan Wang Shizi has been stupid for many years, and it is normal to think that so much, Brother Tang Tang just casually reminded him." The road from Jiangnan to Yujing is far away, over the mountains and mountains, and there may be bandits among them, you just let the Second Highness cherish it all the way. ”

Rong Tang: "......"

[He can talk better than you.] The system is secluded and authentic.

The villain in Rong Tang's heart nodded vigorously, and very much agreed with the words of his little fool system.

Anyway, the two people present were unified, and they didn't believe any of them, but his face was so natural that he didn't have the slightest sense of blushing when he said nonsense.

The situation on the plate has changed, and the small gap torn out by Bai Zi has become a life-saving medicine, and the siege of Kurozi Tian has collapsed in pieces and gradually decayed.

Rong Tang glanced over and was stunned for a moment,

Spin and relax.

Su Huaijing asked: "Does Tang Tang know what His Royal Highness should do when he returns to Beijing this time?" ”

Rong Tang was a little stuck, and when he was about to say that he didn't know, Su Huaijing smiled as if he had just remembered: "I forgot again, Tang Tang doesn't know." ”

Rong Tang: "...... You're so annoying. ”

There was a little shallow complaint in his eyes unconsciously, Su Huaijing was amused, and he laughed for a long time before explaining to him.

"Whether it is Yang Xingye or Lu Junxian, whether they falsely accuse their colleagues, or whether they are corrupt or bribery, or they collude with the old party of the previous dynasty, they are all just ministers in essence." Su Huaijing said slowly, the wind in the morning blew through the heavens and the earth, the clouds scattered one by one, and the blades of grass shook slightly.

"Monarchs and ministers, eternal truth. Sheng Chengming, as the emperor's heir, is naturally the master in front of the courtiers, but in the eyes of His Majesty, he is also a minister. Since he is a minister, he naturally cannot form a party for personal gain and compare with friends. Su Huaijing said, "Therefore, it doesn't matter how many people the Second Princes Party loses, as long as it doesn't hurt the fundamentals, for Sheng Chengming, there is not much loss, there will always be it."

Others make up,

It wasn't what he really had to worry about. ”

Rong Tang waited for him to follow,

Su Huaijing looked straight at it and asked again: "Tang Tang really doesn't know what His Second Highness needs to worry about?" ”

"......" Rong Tang was a little tired, he sighed softly, and still answered Su Huaijing's question: "Your Majesty's suspicions." ”

Su Huaijing: "Please explain to Tang Tang." ”

Rong Tang couldn't help it, and said: "First, Yang Xingye falsely accused his colleagues, His Majesty may suspect that he was instructed by His Royal Highness to suppress the third prince; Second, Lu Junxian, as the uncle of the first three princes, has enjoyed the high-ranking official Houlu for so many years under the nose of His Majesty, not to mention, he is a protégé of Zhang Ge Lao, His Majesty is already displeased, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not think about how Lu Junxian concealed his identity so thoroughly, and what role Zhang Ge Lao played in it, but he knew that he was the old party of the previous dynasty but did not report it; Three ......"

Rong Tang paused, his eyes didn't know where to look, he simply fell on the chessboard, I couldn't tell if he felt quite ironic, and sighed softly: "His Royal Highness has made great achievements in the flood, and the people of Jiangnan have passed it on by word of mouth, and now they seem to have regarded it as a living bodhisattva who saves the suffering." ”

He is the heir of His Majesty and the oldest of the existing princes. This time when he returned to Beijing, if he knew that it was okay to avoid suspicion, if he did not know how to act and speak, and had close contacts with officials in the DPRK and China, even worse......" Rong Tang frowned slightly, "At this juncture, if someone mentions Lichu, it is undoubtedly to send Sheng Chengming to death." ”

Su Huaijing smiled, and looked at Rong Tang's eyes full of satisfaction and pleasure: "Then what does Tang Tang think he should do?" ”

"Taoguang is obscure, morning and dusk are provincial, showing loyalty, wandering, and spending all day and wine." A voice that was not very obtrusive came from behind him, and he answered Su Huaijing's question with a smile, and then hugged Rong Tang casually, and said: "I have been studying in the academy for a long time, and when I heard the question, I couldn't help but answer, and I asked the prince not to blame." ”

The person who came was Ke Hongxue, Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, then silenced, just nodded, didn't say anything, and exchanged a look with Mu Jingxu, who came behind Ke Shaofu, as a greeting.

Su Huaijing didn't get Rong Tang's answer, and he was a little disappointed, but he was able to coax him to say so many of his own opinions, Su Huaijing was quite satisfied.

He lowered his head and finished the chess game, stopped at the situation of life and death, and then looked at Ke Hongxue: "Young Master Ke is interested in assisting His Royal Highness II?" ”

Ke Hongxue bent a pair of peach blossom eyes: "How can I have that thought, trouble is dead." ”

He smiled and said, "I'm here to ask you when you plan to return to Beijing." ”

Su Huaijing looked at Mu Jingxu: "Are you leaving?" ”

Mu Jingxu shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Ke Hongxue said: "I see that you didn't go back to Beijing with Xiao Lu and them, so I guess you don't plan to go back to Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, if you don't mind, you will stay in Jiangnan for a while, I'll take you around and go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

Rong Tang was slightly stunned, Wang Xiuyu had a letter a few days ago asking when they would return to Beijing, but Rong Tang actually subconsciously didn't want to go back so soon.

There is a pool of muddy water in Beijing, and going back is a calculation of exhaustion one after another, and the black smoke is so angry that he privately wants Su Huaijing to rest more.

Besides, now in Jiangnan, Mu Jingxu borrowed Linyuan, no one would gossip more, he and Su Huaijing hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Rong Tang didn't want to separate them so quickly.

He asked Ke Hongxue: "What does Young Master Ke mean by this?" ”

Ke Hongxue smiled: "I don't want to assist any prince, but I am still happy to follow you all the way." ”

Rong Tang was shocked in his heart and realized that this was Ke Hongxue's surrender.

He turned his head and looked at Su Huaijing, who asked him, "Does Tang Tang want to go home?" ”

Mu Jingxu's eyes turned over, and there was a trace of nervousness on the face of the person who had always been calm and self-controlled.

Rong Tang shook his head: "I don't want to, I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace in previous years, and I didn't feel comfortable at all." ”

Su Huaijing smiled: "Then we will go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jiangnan?" ”

The persimmons in the treetops will be ripe, the sky and the earth will dye autumn clothes, the small courtyard will be quiet and serene, Rong Tang should smile and respond: "Okay." ”

It's time to have a reunion dinner to commemorate the reunion after a long absence.

You and your brother's, mine and yours!
