In May, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and for more than half a month in the capital, everyone gradually relaxed, but they saw Liao Jianzhong coming to his brothers from time to time to discuss things, and it was rumored that the assassin of the Hou Yefu was a misunderstanding, saying that the fortune teller was a dry person, and he had long since disappeared, and he was no longer pursued. The people arrested by the Fusi of Beizhen couldn't find out what the meridian was, so they simply let it go. As for the matter of the East Factory that I have never forgotten, it has gradually disappeared, I heard that Hua Shichun and Ji Lifan met Bao Song's younger brother Bao Xiaobai, and had a conversation, naturally there is no news, due to the love of many years, Jinyiwei is still looking for Bao Song. As for Xiang Chong's death, it has already been investigated together with Shuntianfu. In the afternoon of this day, Hua Shichun suddenly found us, saying that the emperor traveled today, and Jinyiwei went to most of the escorts, we were new to the capital, and we were confined to Jinyiwei for many days, and it was estimated that we were already uncomfortable, and we could go out for a walk this afternoon. It's just that don't wear the clothes of the brocade guard, and don't bring the embroidered spring knife.

The three of us listened, overjoyed, simply cleaned up, put on civilian clothes, I thought about it, put the sword that my grandfather gave me in his boots, the three of them happily went out of the back door, still Lou Feng guarded the door, he was directing the captains to gather, saw us, raised his hand to say hello, looked at us with a smile, a few days ago, I distributed the silver ticket to the people, these people immediately treated me closer again. At this time, I suddenly remembered Xiang Chong, the scene of taking me out for the first time, and a little sadness passed through my heart, but people still had to look forward and greet him with a smile.

There are still people coming and going on the street, and there are still so many people gathered at the door, I thought of the experience division, so I asked where Ning Boyang was? Ning Boyang said that in the grove behind the door, he said that Bao Xiaobai was a person with excellent personal popularity, and he was polite to everyone, and it was said that he had been in Jinyiwei for many years, and he was already a general flag, but he was very polite to us newcomers, and there was no shelf at all.

I thought about Bao Song, but I didn't dare to say it, and Ning Boyang finally said in a low voice: "This Bao Xiaobai has a very good relationship with Liao Qianhu, almost like you, and you know him, and you can be regarded as a brother who came out of a threshold." ”

Hardy listened to this, sighed heavily, and said, "You are all people with foundations, but I am the worst. Ning Boyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, with your two brothers here, you can also soar." ”

The three of us walked aimlessly on the street, and to be honest, this leisurely life made me feel a lot more relaxed. The prosperity of the capital is indescribable, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, you can see it from people's smiles, I think of the change of the civil fort that my grandfather said, at that time, what kind of mood would our emperor have?

Sometimes I wonder what I think, a little brocade guard, will think of the world's major events, will think of the emperor, perhaps, because every day, I can see the imperial city! I couldn't help but ask them if they had ever seen the emperor. The two of them shook their heads, saying that only the brocade guards of Yiluan Division could have a chance to see from afar. I said "oh" and didn't tell them that I was going to Yiluan Division in a few days. Ning Boyang said in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor's health has been getting better recently, and he will promote many people!" I smiled and said: "This news has spread all over the place, hehe, a few days ago, didn't you say that Liao Qianhu was going to be promoted?" Hardy said: "Liao Qianhu is really amazing, I have never seen him anxious, he is always so calm!" Ning Boyang smiled and said: "People are generations of eunuchs, and their demeanor is not what ordinary people can do." ”

I really don't know the details of Liao Jianzhong, just wanted to ask a few words, Ning Boyang had already said in a low voice: "At that time, the emperor was not in good health, and the palace was ready, you understand, several fathers-in-law were unanimously optimistic about Liao Qianhu and were ready to let him come up." Jinyiwei must have a big change, hehe, when the time comes, you will definitely have a chance. ”

I understand that this kind of preparation is the new monarch ascending the throne, Emperor Hongzhi's poor health is a well-known thing in the world, it is said that a young man in his thirties, as weak as an old man in his sixties and seventies, people say that the royal family has a spell, few emperors can live past forty, Hongxi, Xuande, Orthodoxy, Jingde, Chenghua, are all forty years old before Yan Jia. Emperor Hongwu, the Taizu Hongwu who was accustomed to fighting, lived for more than seventy years, and Emperor Taizong Yongle also fought in all directions, and lived a long life, why was he comfortable but his life was short? Perhaps, as Mencius said, he was born in sorrow and died in peace!

We walked slowly, there were many shops on the street, and there was a storytelling field, behind a bookcase, a gentleman was sitting in a precarious position, a startled wood, a folding fan, was talking energetically, in the middle was a few tables, full of people, on both sides were benches, and there were also many spectators. The shopkeeper wandered around, or served tea and poured water, sent some snacks, or held an empty plate, please give a reward. We squeezed in, stood and listened to the book, which was about a passage in "Three Kingdoms" "Wuzhang Yuan Zhuge Returns to God"!

The story of Zhuge Liang, I am almost familiar with it, from the three visits to the thatched house, the tongue battle group Confucianism, the grass boat borrowed arrows to the burning of Chibi, the three qi Zhou Yu, etc., until the White Emperor Tuogu, seven capture Meng Shu, six out of Qishan, until Wuzhang Yuan returned to God, his loyalty and wisdom, deeply imprinted in my mind, but it is a pity that the sky is not too young, let him die early, otherwise the Han dynasty will prosper, just around the corner. Of course, these stories were told to me by my uncle and Hu Haisan, sometimes, when I talked to my grandfather, he always disagreed, saying too many falsehoods, but Zhuge Liang is indeed worthy of respect, "non-indifferent and unambitious, non-quiet and far-reaching" makes us be asked to look down on fame and fortune since childhood, and Du Fu's old man's sentence "A teacher is a true name in the world, who can be a man in the middle of the ages", so that when I was very young, I memorized the "Teacher Table"!

Mr. Storyteller spoke vividly, and when it came to the emotional place, he was depressed and frustrated, as if he was on the scene, especially when the prime minister of the Han Dynasty returned to the west, which caused everyone to be very sad, and there were not a few people who bowed their heads and wept. The storyteller patted the shocked wood and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why Prime Minister Zhuge did not succeed in the Northern Expedition?" Someone replied: "The Mandate of Heaven is in Wei, Shu Han is weak, how can he beat Wei too strongly?" The storyteller shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, you only know one, but you don't know the other, every time Prime Minister Zhuge succeeds in the Northern Expedition, there is always a eunuch Huang Hao framed, and the queen is incompetent, listening to slander, making Prime Minister Zhuge a failure." Everyone said that it was, an old man in his fifties, who was kind and polite, had been listening to the sidelines, and after listening to Mr. 's words, he smiled and said: "Although Prime Minister Zhuge is a genius, he is not his director, and he is cautious all his life, and he is said to be him!" It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

When the storyteller saw it, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be Lord Li, and the villain Du Thirteen is polite." You are highly respected, and you are indeed right, but if this eunuch is in power, the world will not be peaceful. Don't say anything else, Wang Zhen of the National Dynasty, hurt my Emperor Yingzong Bei Hunt, if it weren't for Yu Shaobao's death, I'm afraid that Daming will be in danger like a tired egg! Then Lord Li smiled and said, "That is, my Emperor Ming is merciful, and your words should have entered the Jinyi Guard." Wang Zhen and Yu Shaobao, our dynasty has been rehabilitated, don't mention it again. It's just a pity to say that this Zhuge Prime Minister is really a pity! ”

Someone next to him whispered: "This person is Lord Li Shishi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who has a lot of money in his chest and reads thousands of books in his belly!" The old man seemed to hear it, and said with a smile: "It's an exaggeration, the old man has lived for fifty-six years, he has been an official for thirty years, and he has already seen through everything in the world. When Du 13 heard this, he hurriedly said: "Why don't you go to find Lord Li Dongyang!" Li Shishi was stunned for a moment and said, "Hehe, how do you know?" Du Shisan said loudly: "Seven bowls of breeze from the inside, every time you enter the poetry arena with Jiaxing." The sprouts are unearthed in the spring thunder, and the live fire is the night snow remnant. Lu Yu's old scriptures are left behind, and Gaoyang drunken guests avoid Qinghuan. When will I drink Zhonglin water? Try Jun Mo Xiaofeng again! This is a sentence of cooperation between you and Lord Li and Lord Xiao, which shows your elegance! Li Shishi smiled and waved his hand, just about to speak, a door came in behind, whispered a few words, Li Shishi arched his hand, sighed: "When you meet a good deed, it is rare to have half a day of leisure." Busy with idle things, I took my leave! As he spoke, he walked away slowly.

The onlookers nodded their heads and praised them. I was thinking about the story of the Three Kingdoms, although I knew the story of Zhuge Guitian, but I couldn't help but moisten my eyes, the two of them didn't seem to understand, just listened to it lively, I was afraid that they would laugh at me crying, secretly lowered my head to wipe my tears, and inadvertently looked up, but saw the fortune teller that day, just sitting not far away to tell people's fortunes!
