The Imperial City Zhizhu Hall is the place where the daily dance of the Emperor of Dayan is the place where the ink is used to review the chapters. The hall is divided into two pavilions, the east pavilion is used for meeting guests, and the purpose of the west pavilion is to read and write and approve the chapter.

The two pavilions are not far apart, about thirty paces. In the middle is a flat ground, which is covered with white jade bricks. Smooth as a mirror, walking will not get in the way of your feet. Both pavilions are built on a platform, and stepping on the platform requires three steps to cross the two pavilions, which are connected by a series of pavilions, supplemented by a white jade railing.

Outside the hall is a high wall, and the head of the wall is covered with glass. On the north side of the palace wall, there is a dragon stone wall carved on the wall, the depiction is meticulous, and there is a tendency to break the wall and take off. The south wall of the palace is connected to the entrance of the temple gate.

The second floor of these two pavilions is the study room and the council hall, and the first floor is the listening hall. If there is a discussion on the second floor, the others will wait on the first floor.

At this time, the prime minister sat in front of the Great Yan Heavenly Son.

"Your Majesty, don't mess around anymore. Yan Zhongan said to Zhou Shengxian with a tired face. It seems that he has not slept all night, and his spirit is quite weak.

Zhou Shengxian sneaked out of the imperial city last night, causing a series of commotions inside and outside the imperial city.

The prime minister rushed to the imperial city overnight to preside over the overall situation, first urging the imperial city guards to mobilize people and horses to search for them, and once again thoroughly investigate the entry and exit records of the inner city guards. This news even disturbed the old men of the former dynasty, and everyone was very nervous.

This Son of Heaven disappeared in the imperial city, which was a big thing, no less than a change of dynasty.

Zhou Shengxian stood outside the imperial city with the entrance token in his hand, and was finally escorted to the Zhizhu Hall by the guards, which calmed down the commotion.

Facing the Prime Minister Yan Zhongan alone, Zhou Shengxian felt that the other party put a lot of pressure on him. Since I was a child, I have felt this way. Although he was impatient in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face.

Although Zhou Shengxian returned safely, he couldn't stop the follow-up fluctuations that followed, which is another story.

Zhou Shengxian said in a low voice: "What the prime minister said is reasonable. Leaving the Imperial City without permission is indeed my act of absurdity, and I don't care about anything else, and I ask the Prime Minister not to harshly criticize the guards. After staying in the imperial city for a long time, I want not to be followed, go outside to breathe and relax, and observe the people's feelings by the way. ”

"Your Majesty's concern for the people of the world is really a blessing for the country, and Weichen first thanked Your Majesty for the people of the world. Prime Minister Yan Zhongping then said solemnly: "However, it is very dangerous for Your Majesty to go out of the city without an escort. In case of a mistake, the guards of the imperial city have an unshirkable responsibility. Please also ask Your Majesty to put the overall situation first. ”

Although Zhou Shengxian was scolding his mother in his heart, he had to do enough work on the surface. "The Prime Minister is right. ”

"Fortunately, His Majesty was able to return safely, which made everyone feel at ease. However, it is a fact that the imperial city guards are derelict in their duties, and the city gate guards also have an unshirkable responsibility. After the deliberation of the Secret Court, there will be a concerto presented, and His Majesty will be asked to punish him severely. ”

Dayan Tianzi can't punish the crime, so he has to bring out a few scapegoats to take the blame. In fact, this matter can be big or small, and the reason why Yan Zhongan will go to such great lengths is just to kill chickens and show monkeys.

Although Zhou Shengxian was surging in the depths of his heart, because of the strength of the other party, now was not the time to tear his face, so he could only swallow his anger.

"Then it's up to Prime Minister Lao to decide. "Zhou Shengxian is false and wrong.

"Your Majesty. Yan Zhongan said.

The rest of the officials were waiting for the summons on the first floor, and when they saw the prime minister Yan Zhongan coming down from the second floor, they all gathered around to inquire about the situation.

Yan Zhongan looked at everyone expressionlessly, and only said one sentence, "Investigate thoroughly." ”

These officials looked at each other, what are they trying to investigate?

Yan Zhiping didn't dare to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few days, and dragged Xun Zi to buy drunk in the plough courtyard.

In the Accord on the third floor of the Pear Dining Courtyard, they ordered three familiar girls to eat flower wine. It's a pity that I didn't make an appointment with the top card here.

Yan Zhiping was very angry, but he was afraid of pulling the wound on his face, so he didn't scold anyone.

The old bustard half-aged in the courtyard still have charm. His face was coated with a thick layer of fat powder, and he was with him in a low voice at this time. She deliberately called out two more new faces, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yan, this is a new girl, or a young girl, give it to the two sons to try it." Please bear with me, Miss Chu has already been on the cards, and she is indeed inseparable. ”

Yan Zhiping glanced at the two girls twice, and said to the old bustard: "With these two rouge vulgar fans, you want to fool the young master to pass the test, you are too uninteresting." I'm here for Miss Chu today, don't spoil Young Master Ben's mood. ”

The old bustard hurriedly dismissed the two, pinched their arms and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry down to greet the guests." He approached Yan Zhiping with a charming smile on his face, and said jokingly: "Yan Shao, please calm your anger." Or the concubine will personally accompany the two of them to drink some wine to help the luck. ”

Yan Zhiping smiled and glanced at the old bustard, "If you are ten years younger, you can still consider it." Now......" After speaking, Yan Zhiping shook his head and shook his fingers.

The old bustard covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled lightly, "Yan Shao is really good at talking, I think I was also the famous top brand in Jingshi back then." ”

Yan Zhiping smiled, "I believe this." ”

"However, I have to see Miss Chu at this moment, otherwise I will ......" Yan Zhiping immediately sneered.

After talking good things for a long time, I couldn't understand it, and now I can only coerce. This is the consistent style of Kyoto's four young people.

Xun Zi didn't think it was a big deal on the side, and pushed away the girl in his arms vigorously, "This Chu girl really has no eyesight, and she doesn't open her eyes to see who is coming!"

The three girls in the room were unhappy, and they were jealous on the side, "You men only have one Chu girl in their eyes all day long, can't you see the good of others?"

Xun Zi glared at the mouthy girl.

The old bustard answered, "Yes, yes." Look at these three girls, not to mention their exquisite figures, they are smart and handsome. Take it out and compare, which one can't overwhelm the crowd and shock the audience. If you want to talk about girls, I have a lot of them here. ”

Yan Zhiping looked at the old bustard's eyes and said coldly: "But there is only one Chu girl!"

Xun Zi saw that the situation was wrong, so he stood up and said to the old bustard: "I want to see which guest is not long-sighted and dares to compete with Yan Shao!"

Xun Zi looked like this, but I was afraid that he was going to kick the door of the top girl in the plough courtyard.

The old bustard hurriedly grabbed Xun Zi's sleeve, "Xun Gongzi." You are also a regular customer of the Lifang Courtyard, and you also know the rules set by Miss Chu. I came here to have fun, but if I make such a fuss, no matter how good Miss Chu's temper is, I'm afraid that she will lose her mood. ”

Yan Zhiping walked up to the three women and sat down, grabbed a small hand, and kept sweeping his eyes up and down, left and right.

Seeing this, the woman simply closed her eyes and was at his mercy.

The two women next to her hurriedly covered their faces with their sleeves, and their mouths kept thinking, "I'm ashamed." ”

Yan Zhiping finally showed a smile on his face, and shouted at Xun Ping: "Forget it." What the proprietress said also makes sense, isn't it just to have fun? After speaking, he pinched the girl's face, "Slippery enough and elastic!" and his eyes glanced at the other two dishonestly.

The girl smiled coquettishly, her eyebrows were affectionate, and she said delicately: "There are more elastic and slippery ones, do you want to try Yan Shao?"

Yan Zhiping became even more energetic when he heard this, so he picked up the girl and let her sit on him. "Then I'm going to try ...... now"

The old bustard breathed a sigh of relief, watched Xun Zi sit back in the banquet, and hurriedly closed the door. She shouted inside: "Two sons, then I won't bother." There are other needs, albeit open. Today, I have a treat in vain. ”

There was a sound of "bah" in the house, only to hear Xun Zi scolding, "Look down on people, right?

The old bustard put his ear close to the door, only to hear the constant wheezing inside, and couldn't help but curse secretly: These little prodigal hooves, screaming so loudly. But he covered his mouth and secretly had fun, and secretly shouted in his heart that it was finally done.

......

Jian Shuzhi went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and when he came back, he deliberately passed by the teahouse on Changping Street.

Business is booming in the teahouse, and there is an endless stream of customers.

The lobby on the first floor is full of guests, and there is a stage in the innermost part. The stage was crowded with a group of children, all of whom were looking at their sisters on the stage with their necks up, and they were very envious, wishing that they were standing on the stage and accepting everyone's cheers.

On the stage sat a man and a woman, the man in his forties, dressed in a washed white gown with two patches on the cuffs. He set up a huqin and babbled in tune. The girl was only twenty-eight years old, and she was handsome, wearing wide dark clothes, and looked nervously at the man who was tuning the piano.

The guests in the audience were constantly noisy, and some people threw a few hole coins from the stage onto the stage, which immediately caused a commotion in the teahouse.

The girl hurriedly picked up the coin. The man stopped what he was doing, took the girl's hand and bowed to the audience to thank him.

Someone upstairs shouted, "The money is all collected, so hurry up and start singing." Don't grind around there!"

The man smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists towards the guests, and hurriedly said, "This starts, this starts." ”

Jian Shuzhi stood on the threshold and looked in, and a group of guests came from behind him and pushed him away, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way at the door!"

The teahouse guy immediately ran over to greet the guests, and nodded busily, "The guest officer, please, please." After greeting the guests, he found that Jian Shuzhi was still standing at the door, so he asked, "Does the guest officer want to come in for tea?"

Jian Shuzhi shook his head.

When the guy heard the answer, he hurriedly said, "The guest officer doesn't want to come in for tea, so you can't block the door and affect my business, right?"

Jian Shuzhi walked away stupidly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of an old beggar sitting on the steps of the door. I almost stepped on him, and I hurriedly apologized.

The beggar didn't lift his head, and was napping there.

Jian Shuzhi was embarrassed for a while, so he had to turn around and leave, but he saw Wen Wan running over to look for him with interest.

Wen Wan glanced up at the teahouse plaque. On the day the fat man was beaten, the place where she was invited to the appointment was this teahouse. Wen Wan was shocked, could it be that he couldn't think of it, waiting for Yan Zhiping to appear here?

Wen Wan hurriedly asked with concern, "What are you doing here?"

Jian Shuzhi avoided Wen Wan's questioning eyes and asked her, "Why are you here?"

Wen Wanran was out of breath, her hair was a little scattered by the wind, she brushed her hair with her hand, looked at Jian Shuzhi's eyes with a smile, and asked, "Is it good-looking?"

Jian Shuzhi was stunned. Do you need to answer this question? Of course, it's pretty. In his heart, there should be no more beautiful girl than Wen Wan!
