The prince was assassinated in Huainan Road, such a shocking event, it was impossible to hide it, not to mention that Qiao Kui was not prepared to hide it at all, Qiao Kui did not wait for the holy decree to reprimand, returned to Beijing in violation of the rules in the starry night, knelt at the palace gate to pray for sin, three hours later, not only failed to face the saint but was directly taken away by the black-clothed guards and imprisoned, and the capital shook.

The emperor was furious, the deputy commander of the black-clothed guard in charge of the South Six Provinces, Qiu Zhengyang, was demoted to three levels, the staff was thirty, and the sun rose out of Beijing and went straight to Huainan to investigate the case, and the criminal department Shangshu was punished for one year, and the case was solved within 15 days, otherwise the two crimes were punished together, and the military department Shangshu was removed from his post because of the adjustment of the key time of Wusheng Pass, and although the Wusheng Pass guard had "committed suicide and apologized", but under the thunder and anger, he was still razed by the three tribes;

Yushitai impeached Qiao Kui, the envoy of Huainan Province, for eight major crimes, and was left behind, and Xu Zhao, the secretary of the prince's rite department, and hundreds of officials in the capital city wrote one after another, pointing the finger at the four princes. Reprimanded by the emperor.

Three days later, the prince returned to Beijing, and the hundred officials again asked the four princes to do lawlessness, but the prince knelt down on the top of the golden palace, and strived to have nothing to do with the fourth brother.

The top and bottom of the Beijing division are treacherous.

As a loyal supporter of the crown prince, Xu Zhao was bedridden, closed his door, and seemed to be disheartened; in addition to the greetings from the palace and the royal doctor's back and forth, whether it was court friends or disciples, they all ran into a wall when they came to the palace to visit. Xu Zhao, who carried the flag for the crown prince, fell, but the shouts of the four princes above the court became more intense, and in two days, six officials were scolded and imprisoned for their fierce words. But it was still difficult to stop the impeachment recitals from piling up on the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

At night, the bedridden Xu Laoshangshu sat at the table in good spirits, and across his left hand sat another gray-haired bigwig from the three provinces, Gao Lan.

"Old man Xu, you've acted too much!" Gao Lan took a slight sip of tea.

"How can you hide it from Elder Gao!" Xu Zhao said with a smile.

"It's not just me!"

"Elder Gao, just say whatever you want! I wasn't going to hide it from someone with a heart, don't I know that this superficial trick can't even be hidden from the saint? After all, if the kid of the Li family quietly returned to Huai is a charcoal in the snow, my hand is not even the icing on the cake!" Xu Zhao said lightly, but the beard on his lips was slightly upturned, slightly colored.

"Old man Xu, do you know that you are trying to harm my Great Qin?" Gao Lan's voice was not high, but it fell on Xu Zhao's ears like a lightning strike.

"Elder Gao, you, what you say is so unreasonable!Could it be that the crown prince is not the Ming Jun that we and other scholars should assist?" Xu Zhao's face was a little distorted with excitement.

"It's no wonder that a belly full of knowledge finally falls on the light yamen!" Gao Lan lowered his head and picked out a tea stalk in the tea cup.

"Just your three melons and two dates, you are just a bookworm in this life, you are a teacher in the prosperous world, you can't even pick up things that you can't pile up good cow dung in troubled times, and you still blow your beard and stare at me! If you were in the academy back then, you would have slapped you to death with a big mouth!" Gao Lan didn't bother to look at him at all, so she simply lay on the chair and competed with the tea stalk.

"You!"

"What's the matter? I used to think that the prince was too benevolent, and he would only suffer losses and not take advantage, and he was a little disheartened, but this time he first advanced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then went to the pit in Huainan Road to knowingly commit a crime, and Wushengguan showed that the enemy was weak, and finally came to lure the snake out of the hole and pretend to destroy him, and he began to his tail?

"Isn't it?"

"Old man Xu, it's been a long time since I've heard others call me senior brother, and I'm in a bad mood! You know, when I was in a bad mood, my master couldn't make a fart out of three boards. Gao Lan turned around, lay down, closed her eyes, and tapped her fingers on the armrest of the wooden chair.

"Please teach me, senior brother!" Xu Zhao bowed his hand.

"I said Xu Laoqi, you are good at kung fu! Miscalculation and miscalculation, I thought that with your temper, at least you would be so red and panting that you could shout out! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!"

"The master said, it's okay to die at night!" Xu Zhaofeng was light.

"Xu Zhao, that's not right! You are two years older than the old man, but you entered the academy a year later than the old man, because you can't pull this old face and call me senior brother, you have avoided me for half a year.

"The surname is Gao, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, gentleman, you still want to regret it!" Xu Zhao is pedantic, he has been mixed in the officialdom for so many years, and he has also mixed into the second-rank officer, as a diehard loyalist of the heir to the throne with a clear banner, he understands very well that Gao Lan is more than a star and a half higher than him in politics.

"Xu Laoqi, I used to think that you were still a young child after decades in the court, and you still have some knowledge, but now it seems that you have read all your books for decades, and you are too far behind the prince. ”

"Okay, okay, senior brother, you can point out and point me today!" Xu Zhao was so determined today that he simply ignored Gao Lan's ridicule.

"Do you think that Old Turtle Chen had no way to stay away in the first place? Or did the prince reluctant to shed his skin this time, so he simply made this matter a certainty? Do you think you can compare to Old Turtle Chen, who has fine eyebrows? Or is the prince seriously injured, even if he doesn't say a word, can the saint give him an explanation? Will the prince not understand? Just your broken voice and tattered appearance, if it weren't for the prince's cooperation with you, this play would have been ruined! Why doesn't the saint understand in his heart? But what do you understand?"

"The first emperor annexed the four countries, and the Northern Yan left behind lingered, that is the meat of the mouth, when you want to eat it, when you want to eat it, it is the emperor's mercy to the descendants, but now it is a generation of male lords, how can you be willing to lie on the merits of the ancestors and eat the old book? Therefore, there is a change in the Northeast, Duoyan Sanwei is attached, this is just a first move in the Shengshang big chess, if it is not for the civil strife in Cangcang, Liaodong, the iron hooves of Duoyan Sanwei have been hundreds of miles deep in the grassland, the Holy Shang is ready to fight a war, and the unfinished business of the emperor will completely pacify the north, all before that, it is a trivial matter, Chen Lao Turtle is because of his ineffective governance? No, is it his Xu Xu Tuzhi who disagrees with the Shengshang, and you, Xu Zhizi, can you stand on your heels and compare to the Marquis of Jingbei? The prince is benevolent and has won the praise of the court, and he is stable in all directions, that is, no matter how powerful the prince is, as long as the prince does not make mistakes, who can help him? Since the saint dares to kick the Marquis of Jingbei out, he has enough confidence to protect the prince, where do you need you bastards who have not done enough to do more than anything to help? Seize the heir, you fucking think that you can just pretend to cry and take it down with two howls? That would take the fat man Li's life and death? Seven out of forty saints, no matter whether the Northern Expedition wins or loses, there is still enough time, and you are jumping here on your turn? Even Li Fatzi has had no choice but to exhaust his affection for decades, and you are also worthy of shouting, Senior Brother has wronged you? Xu Zhizi, I am your old man? Why should I point you out? If it weren't for the little incense in the academy, I would have been! Just you self-esteemed and bullshitty things, you still want to be Wenzheng after death and be your mother's spring and autumn dream!"

In the end, Gao Lan seemed to return to the academy of his youth to argue fiercely, spitting and swearing.

Xu Zhaomu didn't even bother to wipe his face, and was spit on by the old man Gao.

Who doesn't want to be a minister of Fulong? Who doesn't want to go down in history? Who doesn't want to be a minister of peace and security? Who doesn't want to die and be honest? A scholar is nothing more than a good name, but this name is for the sake of achieving one's own reputation, or whether it is really for the sake of the country's society and the prosperity of the people and the country's security. Now the four seas are leveled, only the north, the powerful Cangguo is eyeing the tiger, as Lao Tzu, the emperor is for the ambition of the youth, in order not to leave a mediocre comment of the Chengping Emperor in the history books, and the other is still like the emperor left a Beiyan for himself to achieve himself, he wants to leave a stable society for his son. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, as today's subordinates, he can't relieve his worries for the saint, but he is bent on his own little abacus, Gao Lan's words are like a slap in the face, Xu Zhao feels like a Daigo empowerment, this scolding is not wronged at all, this is the only time in decades that he really feels that Gao Xuan is indeed taller than himself, and he can see far.

Xu Zhao stood up, dressed properly, and gave a deep salute to Gao Lan: "Senior brother, I have been taught!" An old face, respectful and serious.

The literati have the style and bones, and there must be my teacher in the threesome, and the one who chooses the good one to follow can be described as a gentleman!

Gao Lan crossed Erlang's legs, picked up the tea cup that was already cold, pretended to use the tea lid to flick the tea residue that did not exist, and blew a few breaths: "You can teach you!"

Xu Zhao raised his head and looked at Gao Lan in a daze, in a trance, he was still the master who was full of economy but often disheveled, and after answering his disciple's questions, he looked carried away.

How many years have passed, still so kind, and how many years, I hate Gao Lan's smug appearance, and I look down on this guy who has been hanging since he was a teenager and likes to put on a shelf, but now, he feels that he is indeed qualified to put on this shelf, but this shelf is really not so annoying. On the contrary, it is kind.

In a trance, there was the sound of the academy lang reading aloud in his ears again:

"Learning and learning is not also talking, there are friends from afar are happy, people don't know and are not ashamed, not gentlemen!"

"If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die!"

"Knowing is knowing is not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also knowing!"

......

The sound of the wind and the rain, the sound of reading

That's a good sound!

"Yuan Xiaofei, the head of the black-clothed Weichuan Prefecture, has seen the son!" the woman in purple leaned over and saluted.

"Miss Yuan, please take a seat!" Li Jinglan stretched out his hand to signal.

Yuan Xiaofei still sat down slowly with her body leaned, raised her eyes to look at this, to be honest, Yuan Xiaofei, who has read countless people, also has to admit that this well-defined face is very handsome, except for the sharpness that is inadvertently revealed between the opening and closing of the phoenix eyes, and the involuntary slight curling of the corners of the mouth and a slight frivolity, there is almost nothing wrong with it. The reason why I can't see the bottom line, one is that although Li Jinglan looks lazy, there is a trace of perseverance between her eyebrows and eyes, and her gestures make people feel natural and elegant, and her expression is slightly frivolous, but it is not very annoying, which is a little similar to the gentleman she judged before entering the house, but it is very different. So, she was a little unsure.

Li Jinglan didn't speak for a long time, but thought about something to himself, but Yuan Xiaofei was a little angry, whether it was as the second shopkeeper on the bright side of the "Hongfu Inn", or the identity of the black-clothed Weichuan Prefecture principal in secret, or the "Da Nei Shuangshu" in the capital at the beginning, today's Shu Dao Simei, no one has ever despised it so much, although there are some talented Confucian scholars who are sanctimonious, and they have also pretended to be indecent and disrespectful, but with her ability to see six ways and ears to listen to all directions, early education has seen through their obscene thoughts. But this young man is different, he is really distracted, he doesn't care about his appearance, he doesn't care that this is the important place of the black guard, he doesn't care about everything around him.

The women in the world are so strange, obviously they are dressed up beautifully to show others, but when people look at them a few more times, they put on a face like you are a hooligan, people don't care about her appearance, but they blame the other party for having no eyesight and no quality, and they don't know how to appreciate.

Yuan Xiaofei couldn't help coughing lightly, breaking the silence in the room.

The young man seemed to be alarmed, stretched out his right index finger and gently tapped his temple a few times, sighed, and said inexplicably: "It's not interesting!"

He asked coldly: "When will Gao Hongtao arrive?"

"Huh?" Yuan Xiaofei thought about her thoughts, but she didn't hear them very clearly.

"Uh, then, does the girl know that she is tired of leaving the mountain?" Li Jinglan then asked.

"Tired of leaving the mountain, a hundred years ago for the holy land of the Demon Sect, four hundred and ten miles away from Sichuan, the mountain is a hundred feet high, the mountain is steep, a Jiazi ago, the Demon Sect leader Ji Peng preached in Shuzhong, causing civil strife in Shuzhong, coinciding with the Longhu Mountain Palm Sect disciples into Shu to experience, but was caught by Ji Peng, disembowelment and heart, want to prove the heavenly demon with the heart of the Dao, attracted the dragon and tiger mountain surnamed the earth immortal real person Fan Mao was angry, please go down to the sky thunder to suppress the demon, and with the earth immortal sword to cut off the peak of the mountain of disgust dozens of zhang. Since then, the Demon Cult has declined. But a year ago, taking advantage of the chaos in the Great Qin into Shu and Shu, the Demon Sect was revived, headed by Fu Lichun, an old monster in the Heavenly Phenomena Realm, with four princes, eight demon generals, and hundreds of demons; Yuan Xiaofei blurted out subconsciously.

"Has General Ding ever dealt with the Disgusting Mountain?"

"When General Ding was in Pingshu, he had an intersection with Fu Lichun, the leader of the Demon Sect, thirty miles away from the Yanli Mountain, but it is said that after Fu Lichun drove the rebellious people out of the Yanli Mountain, he made an appointment with General Ding about three things, the Demon Sect did not participate in the rebellion, did not shelter the rebels, and did not leave the mountain within a radius of fifty miles. ”

"Oh! It seems that Miss Yuan is very familiar with the affairs of Shuzhong! ”

As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Li Jinglan smiled, and motioned for Yuan Xiaofei to open the door.

Yuan Xiaofei lifted the lotus step lightly, opened the door of the house where the Yuan people were hidden, and a blue-shirted man about thirty years old, with a kind face, thick eyebrows and short beard, and a bright light flashing in his two tiger eyes, walked in, and said with a smile as soon as he entered the door: "I don't know which ......" Suddenly his footsteps and voice stopped abruptly.

"Xiaolan?" crisscrossing the Shu Dao business world, the male lord of the rivers and lakes, actually trembled in a rare voice.

"Brother Tao, long time no see!" Li Jinglan stood up and greeted him.
