Sleepless at night looking at Chanyi and Lin Yuchai, his heart was warm, and he was relieved: "It turns out that I am not alone. ”

He said softly: "But you don't need to die, just accompany me to simply steal the day." ”

。。。

At the time of Shen, at the gate of King Ji's mansion, there was light snow in the sky. The water stains from the melting snow were one after another, and the ground was completely wet.

Sleepless at night, I remember that Zhu Houmao said that Changsha City is ten points wide, and Jiwangfu accounts for seven or eight points of it.

What kind of concept is seven or eight points, Sleepless Night has only roughly imagined it in my mind before. When he really arrived at the gate of the palace and saw the endless vermilion walls and green tiles, which seemed to be endless, he finally had a preliminary understanding of the wealth of the Ji Palace.

When he was studying in the past, he also studied history with Luo Xiangzhu, and knew that the vassal kings of the world have become the historical root of the cancer of the imperial court.

At that time, in the prosperous era of Jiajing, the taxes of a province often had to be drawn nearly half of it, and it was not even enough to support the local vassal kings.

What he didn't know was that when the Ming Dynasty fell more than a hundred years later, the financial revenue of Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces often could not meet the needs of a single vassal palace.

The Tao Te Ching says: "The hunger of the people is the hunger of the people, and the amount of food tax on it is hunger." "The gap between the rich and the poor is rooted in this.

Sleepless living in a particular period of history, the future events, he could not know. But from today's point of view, combined with what he learned when he governed history, he has already repeated the question countless times in his heart: "Is this reasonable?" ”

"Is that reasonable?"

He asked Youyou Cangtian, and also asked about the length of the palace gate wall comparable to that of Changsha Mansion City.

The heavens and the walls of the palace could not answer him.

But it was as if he had answered him again.

for they are all made of the fat of the people.

The people in the poor world are arrogant and lascivious in order to be stuffed as a family name, which is of course unreasonable.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the fattest prince in Chinese history was lit by the peasant army, which is the best answer.

Sleepless at night, close your eyes, empty your mind, and try not to think about these things anymore.

"It's useless to think too much, it's important to save Miss first."

When he reached the main entrance of the palace, the light snow that was blowing one after another could not freeze the enthusiasm here, and the wet stains on the ground, mixed with the dirt on the feet of the guests, were dirty and ugly.

The smile on everyone's face is heartfelt, coping with the façade, pretending, jealousy and distortion, and so on.

Sleepless at night, with no expression on his face, he has to enter through the main entrance. Out of nowhere, an old housekeeper in a fancy costume flashed out, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a polite smile: "Does the guest officer have an invitation?" ”

"Naturally, there is." Sleepless at night took out the invitation from his arms, which was the one of Xiao Ganyun with a knife from Langhai, and delivered it to the Huafu manager.

The steward's smile did not change, opened the invitation, and read slowly: "Langhai is a knife Xiao Ganyun? ”

He read the word "崀" correctly, obviously there was a bit of ink in his stomach,

Before he could read further, he raised his head, looked carefully at the sleepless night, and said suspiciously: "Langhai stabbed, the old man has indeed never seen it." But when the palace wrote the invitation, it was all through the hands of the old man and knew that this person was a man......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, but obviously, he was also questioning the identity of Sleepless.

Ye Wumiao had expected this, smiled lightly, and said the words prepared in advance, and said, "Hehe, that's the case, Xiao Ganyun is a family teacher. He was unable to come because of something, so he specially ordered me to come to the palace for a banquet with the invitation and receipt. ”

When he was at the city gate, he used this reason to fool him through. Now that the old trick is repeated, the old steward doesn't seem to buy it much.

I saw the old steward twist his beard, squint his eyes and shake his head: "Now in the palace, the guests are full, the voices are boiling, and the shoulders are rubbing, which can be described as overcrowded. If there are many people, it is easy to make trouble, and things must be calmed down. Only the person who received the invitation can enter. In this way, once something happens, it will be convenient for our palace to track down and restrain it. ”

The old steward was kind, and after saying this, he also gave him an extra idea: "Or, your master Lang Hai is personally present, and he can give you a guarantee." ”

Ye Wumian waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "If the family teacher can come to the scene to guarantee me, he will definitely be able to come to the banquet by himself, after all, it is not the time for this meal." In that case, why should I come in his place? ”

The old steward put away his smile and said indifferently: "Then this is the matter between your master and apprentice, and my palace can't interfere." Please do what the old man just said, otherwise, this door, the old man can't let you in! ”

With a flick of his sleeves, several sturdy servants of the palace surrounded him, with horizontal eyes and the appearance of thugs.

Sleepless at night, he was secretly anxious in his heart: "Thousands of calculations, I didn't expect that I couldn't even enter the door of the palace!" ”

Before he came here, he had a good plan with Lin Yuchai and Chanyi, and worked out some details, but he never thought that just entering the door would be so troublesome.

"I couldn't get in the front, so I had to sneak over the wall and sneak in."

Although the palace is heavily guarded, it is not airtight, and there are always some loopholes to exploit.

He shook his head, and gave up trying to convince the old steward, intending to walk around the walls of the palace. With such a long wall of doors, there must be a place where you can try your luck.

As he turned around and prepared to leave, a soft voice behind him was like a snowy night breeze.

"The woman stays."

The sleepless face stiffened, and he secretly said "not good"!

Just because the owner of this voice was already very familiar with him, it was Li Dong, the genius young disciple of Yueyang Tower.

The so-called narrow road is narrow.

Yesterday, she almost took her life because of the loose sword. Today, I am "suspicious" and come to visit King Ji's Mansion, will this Li Dong make me feel better?

Thinking of this, his face turned pale, his internal strength was in a hurry, and he was about to start running away.

But I heard Li Dong say lightly: "Steward Pi, I am with this ...... Well, the heroine, she is familiar with each other, she is indeed the disciple of Xiao Ganyun of Langhai. Don't embarrass her, just let her in. ”

The night was sleepless, and his face was full of surprise. The nervous heartbeat finally slowed down.

When the leather steward saw Li Dong, his face was full of wrinkles and squeezed into a ball, blooming like a daisy, and greeted him flatteringly, and asked with a smile: "This woman is actually Li Tianjiao's friend?" ”

Li Dong didn't speak, just looked at the sleepless back lightly.

The steward was not surprised to see that she did not answer.

Because of his master, Li Dong often goes in and out of the palace and is a frequent visitor to the palace. The steward knew her well, and knew that she was such a character, and that what she had said would not be repeated a second time.

"Since he is Li Tianjiao's friend, even if there is no invitation, my Ji Wangfu should be swept away!"

The skin steward's eyesight was very clever, and he didn't wait for Li Dong to speak, he waved off the thugs early, and ran to the front of the sleepless night, the old face was caught, and he made an inviting gesture, smiling like home: "Distinguished guest, don't be drenched in the snow outside!" Come in, come in! ”
