Outside the magnificent and majestic Jinluan Palace, Zhang Qian stood in the corner and watched the hundred officials of the capital rushing in, some were in a hurry, some looked solemn, some had sad faces, and some had faces like dead ashes, only a few people looked indifferent, and walked into the hall leisurely, but Zhang Qian's face was smiling, and when the last person entered the hall, he didn't see Zhang Qian move.

The palace guard who was about to open his mouth to remind, but when he saw a person walking out of the corner, he immediately stopped his mouth that wanted to speak, held his breath and condensed, put on a majestic battle, and no longer waited here.

"How do you feel when Zizheng sees a hundred officials entering the court?" asked the old man who came out of the corner patting Zhang Qian's shoulder.

When Zhang Qian heard this, he turned around and saluted, and said unhurriedly: "Master Han is here, the official is just curious, some of these people are in twos and threes, and some are only in the court, but no matter which one it is, they will go away after the court, even if it is a greeting, it is rare, isn't it strange that Master Han?"

This old man, who no longer has an official position in the court, did not think deeply, but said casually: "If you go to court, you are colleagues, and when you go to court, you are not a bystander." Just like Zizheng, only when the upper court enters the palace, will he say something to the old man, and when the next dynasty leaves the palace, he won't see you come to visit the old man?" After speaking, he looked at Zhang Qian with a smile.

Zhang Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Master Han, don't say it, how can this official dare to enter this palace gate half a step if he has nothing to do on weekdays, no matter how bold this official is, he doesn't dare to come here to talk about some family shortcomings!

Han Yu pointed to Zhang Qian's nose and scolded with a smile: "You, you, you are bold, those teas in the imperial study, you can put a lot of them in your pockets, every time the old man has a dry mouth, and when he wants to make a cup of tea to quench his thirst, he can't find where the tea is, but His Majesty has told me, saying that you are the first assistant, every time you enter the imperial study, you must first look at the tea leaves on the table, if not, then ask everything is to cover up, if there is, don't ask anything but say everything, you say, should I call you the first assistant, or the little thief?"

Zhang Qian touched his nose in embarrassment, this has never been a rule, pointing at Lord Shoufu who dared to collide with the emperor, looking at this old man who was older than himself, he was stunned and had no temper.

Han Yu put down his hand and said with a smile: "Besides, what you do, even those who are bold can't do it, today I asked Your Majesty to open the dragon's mouth, and you are allowed not to go to court, wait for me here, but I really want to ask you, why do you want to do it?"

Zhang Qian suppressed his expression and said with a straight face: "What is the official, it should not be difficult for the master to guess, but the master, why do you want to ask the official here?

"The old man entered the court as an official at the age of twenty, and now sixty years have passed in a hurry, whether it is the first emperor who established the Yan Kingdom, or His Majesty who founded the dynasty, an official like you, the old man has seen two, one is the old man's personal disciple, and the other is you, but my disciple is not helpful, and he was martyred, the old man just doesn't want the remaining one, and he will repeat the mistakes of the past, are you right?" Han Yu looked at Zhang Qian and said.

Zhang Qian listened to Han Yu's words, but his face remained unchanged and said: "Master, in fact, I didn't think about it a few years ago, but I don't know what's wrong, a few years ago, I went to the south to take a look, and then went to the north to take a look.

Han Yu turned around and looked at the huge palace courtyard and said, "Zizheng, do you know that you are so anxious, how does Your Majesty feel?"

When Zhang Qian heard this, he lowered his head and said: "But Master, just like the prince of the Northland who is out of the Northland alone, Your Majesty knows that it can't be done, but he acquiesces to the butterfly keeper to release the secret butterfly, but the Master is obstructing it in every way, Master, why is this?"

"It's different! It's different, Zizheng, have you ever thought about why the court and the central government have become a mess, but whether it is the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Court, or the wolf rider of the Northern Court, they don't dare to stretch out their hands?" Han Yu asked Zhang Qian rhetorically.

Zhang Qian shook his head as if he didn't understand.

Han Yu turned around abruptly and asked with a stern expression: "Do you know that now the crown prince has not been decided, and the hundred officials have been chaotic, do you know that Li Ting has not yet entered Beijing! Do you know that now the smoke of the Southern Dynasty is not exhausted, and the spark is rekindled! Do you know?!"

When Zhang Qian heard Han Yu's four knowledges, he raised his head lightly and looked at Han Yu with a firm look in his eyes.

Han Yu looked at this look, his originally stern face changed instantly, and he said with a smile: "So you know everything! Go ahead, no matter what your ending is, the old man will shake and toast you." After speaking, he gently pushed Zhang Qian, as if asking him to go out quickly.

Zhang Qian paused, took a step back, and bowed to Han Yu, but Han Yu seemed to dare not accept it, dodged away, and waved his hand.

Zhang Qian gritted his teeth, turned around suddenly, and strode out of the palace.

Han Yu looked at this Shoufu, who was destined to not be able to leave a word in the history books, and muttered to himself: "The old man was not as good as the old man's student more than ten years ago, and he will be even worse than you in more than ten years!"

And Wu Shidong, who was watching all this from a distance, saw Zhang Qian leaving, and then thought that Han Yu, who was stunned, came over, but he didn't dare to disturb, just stood in place and waited for Han Yu to turn around.

Han Yu seemed to have sensed something, turned around and said, "You understand?"

Wu Shidong said with a wry smile: "I understand half of it." Han Yu laughed softly when he heard this: "If you can understand half of it, it means that Zhang Qian chose the right one, I heard that Zhang Qian invited you to eat noodles?"

Wu Shidong didn't dare to hide it, so he nodded and said, "That day, Lord Zhang dragged me to the court." ”

"But what did you say?" Han Yu asked, and Wu Shidong said honestly, "Lord Zhang said that he wanted to buy an official from the kid." ”

"Haha, then you can hear it, let me ask you, is that a bowl of noodles?" Han Yu asked with a smile.

Wu Shidong thought back to the situation that day, and said cautiously: "A bowl of noodles, two eggs, but there are two eggs standing in Lord Zhang's noodles." Speaking of which, I suddenly woke up.

"Lord Zhang is..... He is..... It's to..."Wu Shidong, who came to his senses, was full of shock, and his dementia words were intermittent.

Han Yu patted Wu Shidong's head and said with a smile: "Do you know, who did Zhang Qian invite to eat noodles at that noodle stall?" After speaking, he looked at Wu Shidong with a smile.

Wu Shidong looked dazed, shook his head inexplicably, Han Yu stretched out two fingers, and said: "Two people, one is Li Si, a scholar of the current dynasty, and the other is the prince of the Northland." ”

The servant's face brushed, became pale and weak, and he said inarticulately: "No, this... This.. I can't!"

Han Yu saw Wu Shidong's appearance, but he just smiled and turned around.

Wu Shidong saw that Han Yu was leaving, and hurriedly said, "Master Han." Han Yu didn't turn around or stop, just waved his hand and said lightly: "Think about it, think about it again." ”

With a "bang", Wu Shidong sat on the ground, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face.

The palace gate guards not far away only saw this young waiter who was now in charge of the ministry, sitting on the ground without any image, obviously it was winter, but he was sweating all over, and there were words in his mouth, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be......"

...............

In the imperial study, Zhao Jing, who dismissed the palace maid and eunuch at the first time, sat in front of the charcoal stove, roasting the steamed bun slices sent by the imperial dining room, and Zhao Jing, who was roasted by the warm charcoal oven, had a ruddy face, and Han Yu, who put the teapot directly on the charcoal fire, spread his hands and roasted the charcoal fire leisurely.

Zhao Jing, who turned the steamed bread noodles aside, said unhurriedly: "Sir, how did you talk to Wu Shilang today?"

Han Yu still roasted his hands: "He was a little hesitant, but he didn't refuse, but this matter can't be rushed, you better take a look." ”

Zhao Jing heard that Han Yu did not use an honorific title, but used you to call himself rebelliously, but he did not have the slightest abnormality, but said: "Sir, I know that this matter cannot be rushed, but where is Zhang Qing?"

"It's okay, Zizheng is not yet dazed and understands his role. Han Yu said casually.

When Zhao Jing heard this answer, he nodded and stopped talking, but Han Yu put down his hands and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"

Zhao Jing took out the baked steamed bread slices, handed them to Han Yu, and said, "Mr. is talking about Li Bad?"

Han Yu turned the steamed bun slices that Zhao Jing handed over, put them in his mouth, took a bite, and said while chewing: "I don't know how the butterfly farmer persuaded you, so eager to intercept and kill Li Bad, don't you know that he can't die now?"

"When my father was alive, he took my hand and said to me personally, Li Ting can set the world, Anguo's surname, no one in the court believed it at that time, and even Mr. maintained a skeptical attitude, but when this kid who was born in the East China Sea except for my father and I was not optimistic, with the Li family who was not unparalleled in the world back then, and crashed away from the former kingdom one by one, the people who originally looked down on him in the entire court were silent, and they didn't dare to point at him anymore and say half a word, but only dared to talk about him behind his backBut no one can do it better than him. But I don't dare to forget my father's last words, Li Ting can be undeniable, stand side by side with me, and there can be no successor in the Li family! I have been hesitating all these years, saying that the emperor is ruthless, but how many emperors have really done it throughout the ages?"

Zhao Jing smiled bitterly and said: "The butterfly farmer didn't convince me, and I didn't explicitly instruct him, but when he made a move, I turned a blind eye, I also wanted to resign myself to fate, Li was necrotic, I was relieved, Li was not dead, I was relieved, even if he didn't make a move, the little wolf and those wandering remnants would be ruthless, sir, I want him to die and don't want him to die, if there was no such thing back then, there is such a grandson-in-law, I will be very happy." After speaking, he asked, "But sir, why do you want to stop the secret butterfly?"

Han Yu said slowly: "I don't care if Li Ting dies or not, but now he can't die, or rather, he wants to die after Li Ting!"

Zhao Jing was not surprised when he heard this answer. just said: "I also understand the sir, but sir, you missed a little, I don't have time, the crown prince, the Southern Dynasty, the Northern Land, I want to clear everything, and hand over the country to the next emperor in a complete and stable manner, but I don't have much time, sir, but now I haven't completed anything, ten years, no, only five years, but God refuses." ”

Han Yu looked at this student who he had taught with his own hands, this emperor who had been an emperor for more than forty years, his lips moved slightly, he reached out and turned over Zhao Jing's palm, put the steamed bun slices into his hand, and just said a word.

"It shouldn't be!"
