There was a table across the door from the room, behind which was a large screen that separated the hall almost entirely, and at the other end of the table sat a handsome and somewhat immature boy of about fifteen or sixteen years of age. The young man was writing on the table, and when he caught a glimpse of Liang Xie, he didn't look up, but smiled and said, "Sit down." ”

Liang Xie thanked him, moved a chair and sat down, facing the young man across the table.

"How's things going?" the boy asked.

Liang Xie said: "Hmm...... It's done. ”

The young man smiled: "The remuneration has already been prepared, it is on the table, you can take it yourself." ”

Liang Xie said: "Thank you Wang...... The young master is considerate. As he spoke, he put away the bag of silver on the table.

The young man said: "These three ginseng plants on the table have been a tribute from the 'Judao Country' for some years, and they are rare things for us, so let's give them to you as well." ”

As soon as he entered the room, Liang Xie saw three boxes with a square foot on the corner of the table, presumably with a ginseng plant in each of them, knowing that these three ginseng plants must be not small, he hesitated a little and said, "Yun Lao's body is not very good, it is still ......." ”

The young man said: "My sister-in-law's illness is also a big deal, and with these ginseng plants, it may not be necessary to remove the roots." He smiled and said, "Besides, it doesn't cost us money, just put it away." ”

Liang Xie was no longer polite, thanked him, and accepted it curtly.

After the young man finished writing the last word, he got up and put down his pen, and hung a painting on the screen behind him, only to see a person standing on the cliff on the painting, the river under the cliff was surging, hitting both banks, the green mountains on the opposite bank were stacked one after another, towering into the clouds, the person on the painting was behind one hand, and pointed to the mountains and rivers with one hand, and the man's robe touched the ground, if the wind blows, the river waves seemed to splash on the lower corner of his robe, and he felt the momentum. The man was unusually tall in the whole picture, but only a small part of his face was visible, and it was impossible to tell who it was. The whole painting is only made of shades of brush and ink, without color, as if far and near, such as in the clouds and fog, at first glance it is magnificent, but under closer inspection, there is a feeling that it cannot be touched. In the lower right corner of the painting, there is a faint brushwork, but it is a piece of bluestone, with a line of words inscribed on it: "Yesterday, the group of people fought for early spring, and they competed for the grace of heaven, how could he dare to call the pig dog a friend! "The ink on the painting has not dried, but there has been no ink stain flowing down, it was originally a painting made by a young man with a living Xuan.

The young man looked at the painting and said while cleaning his hands: "Can Brother Liang still see the graffiti work?"

The half-rhyme on the painting seems to be a few years ago in the imperial court to Mengzhou Hou, Xiezhou Hou, Zhongzhou Hou led by the three factions and the Guyu party to compete for the emperor's favor, and then the three factions were defeated, Mengzhou Hou, Xizhou Hou, Zhongzhou Hou three people actually led the people under the Marquis to take refuge in the 'Inner Governor' Wu Jingguo, since then the three factions and the 'Inner Governor' group are called the 'Rootless Party'. In the following years, the 'rootless party' took advantage of the close relationship with the emperor and the harem and others to fabricate charges and frame the Guyu party, and finally defeated the Guyu party's forces. When Liang Xie came to the capital two years ago, the 'Rootless Party' and the 'Guyu Party' were fighting fiercely, and Liang Xie also knew some of the means of both sides. According to the actions of the 'rootless party', it is said that pigs and dogs have been promoted, and the three candidates and their disciples who are attached to the 'rootless party' have become the friends of these pigs and dogs.

Liang Xie saw that the painting was magnificent, and the half-rhymed words were a little arrogant, knowing the young man's intentions, and immediately praised: "The young master's calligraphy and painting skills are getting more and more sophisticated." ”

The young man said with a smile: "After all, calligraphy and painting are small paths, and those who can determine the security of the country are great talents." Alas......" He sighed lightly, adding a little sorrow to his smile, and said, "It's a pity that the imperial brother doesn't think so. ”

Liang Xie was stunned for a moment and said, "Young master......"

The young man smiled: "It's okay, you're not an outsider, even if I don't say it, you must have guessed my identity a long time ago." ”

Liang Xie nodded and said, "The young master has the world in mind and worries about the country and the people. This sentence was said casually by him, and in his heart he was not sure that this young man was not really open-minded.

The young man said: "I can't talk about worrying about the country and the people, let alone thinking about the world, I just hope that what we do can be worthy of our ancestors, my father and grandfather have not been treated by the emperor and grandfather during his lifetime, and the emperor's brother is ......." After all, the boy didn't say any more.

Liang Xie's heart moved: "Could it be that he has the intention of usurping power? If he is the emperor, he is much more attentive than the current emperor, but if he wants to usurp power, I don't know how many people should die, if he really does this, should I help him or denounce him?"

Liang Xie was guessing wildly, and the young man sighed again: "The 'Beichuan' side affairs are tight, and the 'Rootless Party' disregards the society, kills General Xiong, deposes He Dingzong, and installs cronies, and more than seventy percent of the important positions in the imperial court have become their people...... He smiled bitterly and continued: "The 'Inner Governor' is just a eunuch who serves the emperor's brother, and the four grades are merely four grades, and how many feudal officials have recognized their ancestors and called their fathers, such a method has to be admired. Now even I want to win over, is this 'Tianmang Dynasty' my Yin family or his martial arts family?"

Liang Xie Qi said: "Win over the young master?"

The young man said: "Yes, since the beating of the imperial brother, the body has not been very good, during this period of time, it is even more difficult to have back pain every day, no energy, the imperial brother has no heirs, in case of an accident, I am the only one to inherit the unification." At this time, he crossed the imperial brother to give me tribute, whether it was to win over or to tempt, in short, he was not at ease. ”

Liang Xie was taken aback and said, "How dare they do this kind of thing?"

A trace of fierceness flashed on the young man's face, and he said: "A eunuch, the pomp is bigger than the emperor, the subordinates are more than the emperor, the tribute is more complete than the palace, and even the ginseng paid tribute by other states has to be carded by him first, what else does he dare not do? A few days ago, the imperial sister-in-law reprimanded him a few words, and three or four of the ten masters of the 'Dragon Guard' looked at the imperial sister-in-law's eyes changed, if it weren't for the fear of Lord Jing, I was afraid that the imperial sister-in-law would really be assassinated by them, and this matter had just ended in the palace, and the assassin's matter was not over, and the gift arrived. On the contrary, it was me, who did not dare to accept this gift, and did not dare not accept it. ”

Liang Xie was even more shocked, and said: "Does he want to rebel?" Liang Xie was even more frightened, and Liang Xie was even more expectant, if Wu Jingguo really rebelled, he would be the first to pick up a knife and cut off the head of this eunuch. Although he has never seen Wu Jingguo, Wu Jingguo is not shallow, if it were not for this eunuch, his wife's illness would have been cured earlier, and the two of them were indescribably happy, which is like now, a sick in bed, maybe he can save his life, and a knife licks blood to do that conscience business I don't know when it will be a head.

The young man smiled deeply and said: "It would be good if he rebelled, I would like to see if there are still a few people around him who support him, after all, there is no precedent for eunuchs to be emperors throughout the ages, and it may not be easy for him to succeed." I don't think he's so stupid, what he's doing now is just a temptation, if I reject him, he will find an opportunity to harm me, if I accept, he can also tell the truth in front of the imperial brother, saying that I am above the imperial power, and I am also subject to him, and then take a step back, if one day he loses the favor of the imperial brother, he can still poison the imperial brother and push me to the throne, I am the same puppet he manipulates in his hands, it is really powerful. What do you think I can do but pretend I don't know anything?"

This young prince sighed with emotion, Liang Xie listened to it and sighed, it is rumored that this Wu Neidu has a very good set of people, from the emperor's relatives to the sesame petty officials, and even more absolutely, he is a eunuch, and there is a strange rumor that he has an affair with the concubine, and even the emperor praised him for his talent in the country, and personally gave the word 'Jingguo' as the name. In the past few years, all the emperor's heirs have died, and he is the most suspicious, but he is not only not implicated, but more powerful, some people speculate that perhaps the emperor's power has been hollowed out, and he has nothing to do, so he has to not pierce this layer of window paper, everyone tacitly, and they have to live a chaotic life.

Liang Xie sighed secretly in his heart, he only said that his life was not going well, but he never thought that this person who is a prince and an emperor is also generally unsatisfactory, I hope that these ginseng plants can really work, cure his wife's illness, and then he can go far away, and completely draw a line with these people, never have to work for others again, regardless of who they are and who is not who is dead or alive, although then he will never have the opportunity to cut off Wu Jingguo's head is a fly in the ointment, but since he can live a good life, who is willing to toss blindly.

He was thinking about how to take his wife out of the capital after she recovered from her illness, when suddenly there was a sound of three slams on the door outside the house, and the young man's expression froze. A person outside the house said, "Are the young master and Liang Da there?" Li Er asked to see him. ”

The boy said, "Come in." ”

'Squeak', the door was opened, Li Er pushed the door into the house, hugged his fist to the young man, the young man nodded, Li Er turned to Liang Xie and said a few words, Liang Xie frowned, lowered his voice and said, "...... again?"

Li Er glanced at the young man, the young man smiled, turned around and walked behind the screen, Li Er leaned into Liang Xie's ear and said, "What Yun Lao ordered, just do it." If you can afford to eat this bowl of rice and be worthy of our head, you must show the courage of the head. ”

Liang Xie frowned.

"Here are the details of this mission. Li Er handed Liang Xie a small piece of paper, Liang Xie clenched it hard and turned around and took the ginseng on the table out of the room, for some reason, the words of the original teenager and the addition of these ginseng plants made him feel good, but Li Er's arrival and another task without respite made him feel calculated, extremely unhappy.

Let's hope her illness will get better soon, this is the only hope to get out of the current situation.
