In the imperial city of Chang'an, the white snow stretches along the city wall, the snow-covered palace dome, and the goose-feather snowflakes fall.

The palace sergeant who patrolled walked through the sweeping steps, his face was red from the cold, and the eunuch with his neck shrunk guarded the door of the study, snorting with a white breath and enduring a slight trembling body.

In the closed door, the straight stretched red carpet is a copper stove, burning red charcoal fire with warmth, in the hall, the sound of the rustling pen tip caressing the paper, the warm yellow light illuminates the side face with a focused expression.

Yang Guang reviewed the letter and put it aside, and a close attendant came over and called softly: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, it's time to rest." ”

"Hmm. ”

Between the burning candles, the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and it was rare to respond, and he took another letter and flipped through it, and smiled: "Wait a while, if today's things are not approved, there will be a big stack of them until tomorrow, and I can't be too busy, by the way, there is any news coming back from outside the palace recently." ”

After the Western Expedition Tuyuhun killed Murong Fuyun, Yang Guang is now more powerful in the court than before, and he is ordered to go out of the palace, all of which are executed, and he is sure that he has taken the right step, and his heart is naturally satisfied.

During this time, the young emperor made a gesture, and the imperial spirit became more and more powerful.

As the emperor's confidant, he naturally understood what the news outside the palace meant, and replied in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the secret agent sent by the slave has reported, and the Duke of Yue has rarely left the palace recently. ”

Over there, the handwriting on the tip of the pen stopped, and in the candlelight, the emperor raised his head: "Oh?" Immediately, the thick eyebrows furrowed, leaned back, and narrowed his eyes.

"Lived in seclusion...... Don't you want to come out with me, excuse your illness, and avoid the edge for the time being?"

In the joking words, the eyelids of the eunuch at the corner of the table jumped, once he was suspected by the emperor, what would be the end, the darkness in the palace, how could people who came not understand.

At this time, no matter what the emperor above said, the eunuch just lowered his head and did not dare to respond.

After a while, the emperor wrote again, and in the slight rustling sound, Yang Guang looked at the twists and turns of the unknown content, and opened his lips to squeeze out the sound while commenting.

"Since Yue Guogong is sick, send him some medicine. ”

The eunuch over there trembled slightly, and hurriedly bowed down: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Soon, the sky was slightly bright, and the two horsemen followed a carriage out of the palace and along a long snow-covered street to the west of Baiguanfushe Street.

In the dark sky, many servants of officials' families have swept the snow in front of their houses on the street, and among the most prominent mansions, the early servants and nurses are busy.

The servants in the house sent breakfast, the cold wind squeezed in with the door opened, there were four scholars in the room who spoke softly, wore warm clothes, or yawned out of the bedroom, and there were also standing in front of the window lattice and occasionally inspired, improvised a poem, the servant who delivered the meal left, and the scholars scattered around sat down at the table one after another, took the steamed buns and filled their stomachs with gruel, and talked while eating.

"Three brothers, do you think the four of us have voted for the wrong person again, Yue Guogong is a famous general of the dynasty, why was the Western Expedition not taken by His Majesty?"

“...... Not to mention, this is the mansion of the Duke of Yueguo, beware of being kicked out of the door..... We don't have a house to live in the capital. ”

"Big brother, you're just too cautious, look at the four of us, full of talent, and the appearance is also superior, don't look at the civil and military skills, but that's also a lot of experience, haven't you seen anything?"

"That's it, when the Southern Dynasty was in the past, we opened a city gate!"

.......

After a few words of complaint, the four of them went out of the side courtyard, stretched their waists together, felt the coolness of the snowy day, tightened their necks, wrapped their sleeves in their hands, and walked to the front yard to sort out some paperwork.

Passing through the crescent gate, when the corridor was empty, he whispered again.

"But speaking of which, Yue Guogong has always been a relative of the emperor and a person who is famous all over the world, and the four of us will get ahead sooner or later. ”

"Brother's words are also reasonable, it's really hard to choose. ”

Turning around to the corner of the eaves of the front yard, before going to the side of the main hall, I suddenly saw the courtyard in front of me, a team of people and horses carrying swords came from the side of the house gate, led by the black robe and red collar, and the hat on his head, the four of them knew each other.

"Hey, it seems to be a eunuch. ”

“...... Look at him in his hand, it seems that he is holding a holy decree, I can't say that the Duke of Yue Guo is going to rise again, aren't the four of us rising tides?!"

"No, no, why do these soldiers look fierce and vicious, and their eyes are full of murderous aura?"

The sharp-eyed Zhang Wei hurriedly grabbed Wang Feng, and together with the other two scholars, he retreated to the corner and hid, only four heads poked out, and looked up and down overlappingly.

"It's certainly not a good thing. ”

"Well, I have a feeling that the Duke of Yue Guo may be about to lose power, aren't those anecdotes in the mountains and wilderness, and the chivalry of the rivers and lakes all written like this? ”

"What then?"

"Naturally, it's gone!"

Among the four, Wang Feng stopped them, frowned, and his eyes showed a rare seriousness: "How can we and other literati have no backbone and shake around like grass on the wall, the Duke of Yue treats us well, how can we abandon him!!"

The rest of Ma Liu, Zhang Qi, and Zhao Fu look at me, I look at you, and then look at my brother:

"Brother Wang, that's right, what do you say should be?!"

Wang Feng watched the helper almost arrive in the front yard, squinted his eyes, his cheeks bulged, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out: "I'm waiting for readers, what are you studying hard for......?"

Suddenly out of the corner where he was hiding, he rushed towards the eunuchs and soldiers in the palace who came over there, and a smirk instantly appeared on his face, and he arched his hands and bowed down.

"My father-in-law is looking for the Duke of Yueguo, in Xia Wang Feng, lead the way for you, I am very familiar with this mansion!"

The three scholars over there stumbled and almost fell when they heard this, and they came out with a smile, and immediately showed their teeth with a smile on their faces, and bowed down: "Let's all lead the way!"

The eunuch's expression was stunned, and it took a long time to react, pile up a smile, look at the four of them and nod, and raise their orchid fingers with a smile.

"Those four talents, let's lead the way for our family, the huge mansion of the Duke of China, save our family from getting lost. ”

The four of them looked at each other, laughed, and hurriedly walked to both sides of the front, blasted away the courtyard and the steward who came, made a letter of invitation to the eunuch, and excitedly led them through the front yard and went straight to the atrium.

"By the way, this father-in-law, what are you looking for the Duke of Yueguo?"

The eunuch squinted and glanced at the brocade box in the hand of the guard who followed him: "Your Majesty saw that the Duke of Yue Guo had not left the house for a long time, so he specially asked our family to bring some palace supplements and good decoctions to visit." ”

Wait!Visit?

The expressions of the four of them froze, it turned out that it was not what they thought, and they immediately swallowed saliva together, and there was a lot of sweat in the thick robes.

Ma Liu, Zhang Qi, and Zhao Fu all looked at Wang Feng in unison, and their eyes seemed to convey a certain meaning.

'Brother Wang, it's not what you think!'

The latter glanced at him.

'How the hell do you know for your brother, and now blame me?'

The four of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison, their legs swinging, and they walked slower than anyone else.

What the is this called!!

Looking at the atrium that was getting closer and closer in front, I cried out with sadness in my heart.
