A few days ago, Han Xun, who had taken off his official robe and was wearing a burlap coat and carrying a blue cloth bag on his shoulder, appeared in the old city area of Jinling City.

This place was originally prosperous because of the Han family, but it also declined because of the Han family. There were hardly a few lanterns in the houses on Lingyuan Street, and the rich and powerful families had all moved away, and the rest were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

"I haven't been back for many years, and I can't imagine that the street I was proud of as a child has become so depressed. Although Han Xun sighed in his heart, he kept walking forward under his feet.

Han Xun walked two more teas, and stopped in front of an old mansion, which looked to be many years old, the two stone lions in front of the door were covered with moss, a vermilion iron door was rusty, and the wooden plaque on the door hung crumblingly on the beams, and the font on it had long since become blurred with the years.

"I can't imagine that I will be able to go home one day, and in the capacity of the minister of Wei!" Han Xun stepped forward, and with a slight force, the iron door slowly opened with a "creak".

What caught Han Xun's eyes was a dilapidation, the leaves of the originally lush locust tree had long since fallen off, only a few lonely stumps remained, a well in front of the left side of the main hall had long since dried up, and several bluestone benches and a bluestone platform were covered with dust.

"It looks like it's been abandoned for almost twenty years. Han Xun took off the cloth towel around his waist and carefully wiped the bluestone platform, and tidied up the messy places in the courtyard a little, although the beads of sweat fell from his forehead bit by bit, but his heart was unprecedented joy.

Nearly an hour passed, Han Xun looked at the courtyard with satisfaction, picked up the cloth bag placed on the bluestone platform and walked straight towards the back hall.

With a "squeak", the door of the back hall was opened by Han Xun, and the dust of the offering platform accumulated a thick layer, and the cobwebs in the corners were densely distributed, and it looked like it was about to be connected.

"Father, mother, children are not filial, so many years have made you unable to rest in this messy mourning hall. Han Xun spent another half an hour cleaning the back hall, and then took out two white candles from the package and placed them on the left and right.

After the flames of the two candles were burning, he solemnly took out the two wooden plaques from the package and placed them on the top of the mourning hall.

"Dad, mother, the child has finally let you return to your roots, please bless the child with successful revenge under the Nine Springs. Han Xun landed on his knees and kowtowed three times.

Han Xiang's benevolence and filial piety really moved me. A man in black leaned against the door frame of the mourning hall and said leisurely.

"Your Excellency is afraid that you have been waiting for Han for a long time, right?" Han Xun stood up slowly, he didn't even look back, just took out three incense sticks and lit them in the incense burner in front of the stage.

Seeing Han Xiang like this, I really can't bear to disturb him. The man in black sighed, "However, my master wants to see you, please move to the front hall." ”

"Thank you. Han Xun made a series to the man in black.

"Thank you for what?" asked the man in black.

"Your Excellency Xie has been waiting for me for an hour. Han Xun smiled faintly.

"Please. The man in black said expressionlessly.

The two came to the front hall door, and the man in black stopped: "Han Xiang, please come in, the master of the house is waiting in the house." ”

The moment Han Xun stepped into the room, the door was quickly closed by the man in black outside the door, and the room was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers: "I don't know which master wants to see Han?"

"Yun Rang, long time no see. A familiar voice sounded in the room, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"You, how did you know this name?" Han Xun was really shocked at this time, it had been too long since anyone had called him by his real name.

With a "poof", a slender flame ignited on the oil lamp on the table, illuminating the originally dark room, and Han Xun could clearly see that it was a slightly smiling face.

"Xun knocks to see Your Majesty. Han Xun sank on his knees, wanting to make a big salute.

"You don't have to be polite. Xiao Shiyu smiled and pointed to the empty position opposite him: "Come, sit down and talk." ”

"Your Majesty, how did you recognize me?" Han Xun looked surprised: "Xun has always felt that the disguise is very good, and he didn't show any feet. ”

"I remember the first time I was in the Imperial Garden, when you said that you admired Jiangnan culture very much, and proposed to decide the winner with a fight, I remembered twenty years ago. Xiao Shiyu smiled faintly: "Yun Rang, do you remember what you said when you read to me as a companion?"

"Hey, I didn't think Your Majesty would remember it so clearly!" Han Xun said abruptly: "Yun Rang Suxi Jiangnan Dance Music, and he also asked His Majesty to give a good dancer as his wife, and the rest of his wish is enough." ”

"Even so, it would be too arbitrary to conclude that I was Han Yunrang back then. Han Xun shook his head and said.

"There's no way anyone who is being targeted by my secret guards will escape their sight. Xiao Shiyu pointed to the man in black outside the door: "This Lingyuan Street is no longer prosperous, but you, the minister of Wei, have come here several times, doesn't it make people suspicious?"

"I also deliberately investigated the official grain case of the Han family that year, and found that the final number of beheaders did not match the number of people who were approved by the first emperor. Xiao Shiyu paused and continued: "The only person who survived was you, who was my companion. ”

"So Your Majesty let your secret guards follow me day and night?" Han Xun smiled: "Finally chose to pierce me when I entered the ancestral mansion to worship?"

"Yun Rang, we have been studying together for five years, don't you know what you are like?" Xiao Shiyu looked serious: "As long as it is really you, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, it will not stop you from entering this house to worship." ”

"I was really guessed by His Majesty. Han Xun smiled bitterly, and then said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has investigated the old case, you should know that my Han family was wronged back then." ”

"You want to take a look at this first?" Xiao Shiyu took out a scroll and a letter from his wide sleeved robe and handed them over.

"This is?" Han Xun took the letter and scroll and scanned it carefully.

This is the handwritten letter written by Zhang Peizhi to Liu Qianfeng back then, which details how the two of them colluded to forge Si Nong's edict to frame your father. Xiao Shiyu's eyes were full of coldness: "As for this scroll, it was a forged oracle back then." ”

"Your Majesty handed over the object to me at this time, is this to rehabilitate the Han family, or do you want to use this matter to bring down Zhang Peizhi. Han Xun smiled in return.

"Whatever my purpose, at least our goal is the same. Xiao Shiyu's face softened: "And you always have to pay the price for the affairs of Liufu and Wei Guanyi." ”

"I promised, as long as Your Majesty can rehabilitate my Han family, Xunzi will give an explanation of what he has done. Han Xun responded without hesitation: "Do you need me to turn myself in?"

"Not necessarily. Xiao Shiyu shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate the Tingwei Yamen and the Jingwei Mansion, it won't be long before they find out what they really want to do. ”

Han Xun in the black prison of the Tingwei Mansion thought about this past scene, as if it was yesterday: "Yun let Benqi people, but by mistake became Wei Xiang, it is really unpredictable; ”

"Kui Niu, bring the wine. Xiao Shiyu commanded, and the black-clothed man at the outer door respectfully held a tray, and the two wine bottles bowed their heads and entered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine. Han Xun said.

"Yun Rang, do you hate me or not, you just dismissed Zhang Peizhi's official position, but did not give him death. Xiao Shiyu suddenly asked.

Yun Rang originally wanted to take his life in private, but now he figured it out. Han Xun said with a smile: "For such a person who values his rights so much, His Majesty has deprived him of the things he cares about the most, which is simply more relieving than killing him; ”

"It is worthy of being my companion, and I can see things more thoroughly than ordinary people, Yun Rang can rest assured that I will definitely issue an edict to rehabilitate the Han family, and the Liu family will also have due punishment. Xiao Shiyu picked up a wine bottle: "This glass of wine should be sent off by Yuan Rang, do it!"

"!" Han Xun straightened his slightly disheveled hair, solemnly picked up another wine bottle, and after the two wine bottles touched, they both drank it all.

The clear water of Xuanwu Lake is murmuring, and the surrounding mountains and rocks enclose the water of this lake into a huge diamond shape, and the calm lake surface blows the slightest breeze from time to time; I see a small painting boat sailing in the distance, and the sound of the kite from the painting boat flutters with the wind; a flock of birds can hear this sound and gather around the painting boat in flocks, which will not disperse for a long time.

At the bow of the boat, Liu Ningshi, who was wearing a pink dress and short skirt, was concentrating on plucking the strings of the flying phoenix zither; in the center of the boat, Tong Bo was holding a white jade that could not fall for a long time; while Liang Chong on the opposite side rarely showed a trace of domineering; the small square circle on the chessboard, black and white were staggered and horizontal, and the killing atmosphere was very heavy, and even Liu Ningshi's melodious and quiet zither sound could not be resolved.

"Taifu's chess skills are excellent, and Bogan is inferior. Tong Bo stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally threw the white jade in his hand back into the chess box.

"Haha, it's Xiangyun who agreed. Liang Chong shook the white-haired feather fan lightly: "You hesitated when you fell, and you completely lost your previous decisiveness." ”

"Bo used that opportunity to push An Dafang to the position of chief of the guard because he wanted to save the master of the Du Courtyard, but now he has become the target of public criticism. Tong Bo sighed softly: "I don't know if the decision at that time was right or wrong." ”

"Xiangyun, do you know that there is no regret medicine in life, since this is already the case, let's face it calmly, he should also have some experience. Liang Chong said with a smile: "Ning Shi, your song of a hundred birds and a phoenix is more fluent." ”

Just as the two were talking, Liu Ningshi, who had closed the song, was already standing behind Liang Chong and pinched his shoulders for him: "Uncle, Ning Shi has something to ask you for?"

"Ghost girl, do you know that you want to take the initiative to play for your uncle?" Liang Chong pointed at Liu Ningshi and smiled at Tong Bo.

"Look at what you said, Ning Shi's song is not only played for uncle, but also to thank Brother Xiangyun for his help. Liu Ningshi put her hands behind her back, looking timid.

"Miss Liu sent me and Taifu away with a single song?" Tong Bo laughed: "This is too cheap for you, right?" ”

"Hmph! Brother Xiangyun still likes to be calculating so much, so he ignores you. Liu Ningshi turned around and shook Liang Chong's arm again: "Uncle Liang, you have to help Ning Shi!"

"Say, what's so difficult?" Liang Chong looked helpless.

"Uncle Liang, Uncle Zhi of Nating Wei is your proud protégé, please go and help talk about it, let him avoid the punishment of Brother Dafang!" Liu Ningshi walked towards Liang Chong.

"Hmm, what's wrong with you two today, why are the topics all around this An Dafang?" Liang Chong laughed.

"Brother Dafang tried his best to protect me when Ning Shi was in trouble that day. Liu Ningshi said: "This kindness, Ningshi must be repaid." ”

"Bo also asked Taifu to come forward. Tong Bo respectfully made a series towards Liang Chong.

"Well, I should have repaid my kindness, but unfortunately I can't do anything about it. Liang Chong also said.

"Why is this?" asked Tong Bo and Liu Ningshi in unison.
