Funing Hall

Zhao Shishi returned to Funing Hall, and when he reached the steps of the main hall, his footsteps paused again.

This is a place he often comes to, but at this time he is a little apprehensive.

"Xiao Langjun?" Rantao was surprised.

He just climbed up the steps, and he was leaving anyway, let's take a few more glances, he said in his heart.

Zhao Cong was sitting on the bed reading, watching carefully, when he heard footsteps, he immediately raised his head and looked out.As soon as he saw Zhao Shishi, he laughed, his eyes were like a crescent moon.

Zhao Shishi, who was still walking slowly, immediately forgot everything when he saw his smile, and walked towards the bed in big strides.His eyes could not help but also brighten up, walking to the bedside, he stared at Zhao Cong with his head down.

Zhao Cong looked up at him and smiled: "Are you hungry? Your eyes are like those of a hungry wolf."

He was joking, but Zhao Shiyi was taken aback for a while.

Zhao Cong patted the bedside: "Sit down and talk."

Zhao Shiyi sat down obediently, and Zhao Cong asked Rantao to bring him something to eat, and then asked him, "What did you draw today?"

Zhao Shixi was silent.He was originally staring at Zhao Cong, but what Zhao Cong said made him dare not look at him anymore.

"Little idiot, you can talk now, why don't you speak?" Seeing that he stopped talking, Zhao Cong taught, "You can't always be trapped in your own little world. These days I am recovering from illness, so I don't have time to talk to you Let’s talk about this. You did a good job that day, but you shouldn’t go into the water to save me. Fortunately, you know the nature of water. Speaking of this, why do you know the nature of water?”

Logically speaking, an 11-year-old child is not favored at home, where can he learn to swim.

Zhao Shiyi bowed his head, his eyes flickering.He suffered a lot in his previous life, and almost drowned to death in the southwest, but the guards around him rescued him at a critical moment and taught him to swim.But of course he couldn't say that, and he didn't know why, so he said in a mysterious way: "When I was pushed into the water when I was young, I learned it."

When Zhao Cong heard it, he was naturally sad for a while.

A big family, and a family with many children like Weijun Wangfu, can imagine how difficult and dangerous it is.It must have been pushed into the water by his good brother!

Zhao Cong stretched out his hand to pat Zhao Shishi's hand distressedly, and said in relief: "It's all in the past, forget it."

Zhao Shiyi looked up at him, seeing Zhao Cong's sad face, but his heart was full of satisfaction.He felt despicable, but he was very happy, and he stared at Zhao Cong again.

Zhao Cong picked up the book at hand, covered his face in a funny way, took it down again, and joked: "I'm not the crystal bun you like to eat—well, just stare at it." He said again, "It's good that you are like this now. Those who bully you, you have to bully them back. You finally speak, and I can tell you other things. In the past, I was very worried about you, and I don't know what to do when you grow up Okay, I'm afraid you can't speak, I'm afraid you won't be able to control the servants. Now, I can be relieved. In the future, when you go out of the palace, I will give you a house. You don't have to live with your family, and you can also take your biological mother out. You live together. I will give you a marriage again, don’t you—”

Zhao Shishi felt harsh when he heard the word "marriage", and interrupted: "Don't give me a marriage." There was still some dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Why?"

"I'm not married."

Zhao Cong laughed again, although Zhao Shiyi had recovered his true personality, he no longer regarded himself as a child.But he is still a child, and his voice has not changed, and it sounds very cute.

Zhao Shixi pursed his lips.

Zhao Cong knew that most of the children wanted to save face, so it was a bit embarrassing to mention these things, so he said, "We'll talk about it when you grow up."

Zhao Shishi looked at him, thought of what Zhao Cong said just now, and couldn't help but ask the question he had been wondering all along: "Why are you so kind to me?"

Zhao Cong thought for a while and said, "Because I love you."

The tone was obviously coaxing the child, but it made Zhao Shiyi bow his head.

Zhao Shishi thought to himself, this palace really can't stay any longer.

Although Zhao Cong's tone was coaxing the child, it was indeed from his heart.He saw that Zhao Shishi was embarrassed, and while smiling on his face, he also thought of what Rantao said about a group of court ladies surrounding him, and he couldn't help being proud. Their little Shishi was born well!He said with emotion: "Little Eleven, when you grow up, how many little ladies will please you?"

"..." Zhao Shiyi couldn't help looking up at him, not understanding what Zhao Cong meant.

He never knew what it felt like to be liked by others. In his last life, he was an unfavored little rundown from the beginning. Who would like him?No one could even see him.Later, he killed people all day long, and his body was full of blood and evil spirits. What little lady would dare to like him?At that time, it was rumored that he was a murderer like a madman, that is to say, no one dared to speak like this after he ascended the throne.

Back then, among the concubines in the palace, who wasn't afraid of him?Occasionally he invited people to have dinner together, and the legs of the girls were shaking with fright, as if he was going to kill them immediately.

After a long time, he lost interest.

Zhao Cong said again: "I really should take a mirror for you to take a look at, little idiot, I was born well, but I don't know it yet. In the future, I'm afraid that many little ladies will rob you. At that time, I will let you to pick for you."

"I don't want a little lady!" Zhao Shiyi came back to his senses, a little unhappy, and said that he was a little lady, boring!

"Then what do you want?"

"I--"

Ever since Zhao Shiyi was able to speak, Zhao Cong had found that he was not as funny as before, and now he suddenly found another topic that could amuse him, Zhao Cong quickly grabbed hold of it, and asked with a smile, "Could it be that you want a young gentleman?"

"..." Zhao Shishi looked at him incredulously, is this still the emperor? !

"Little idiot!" Zhao Cong laughed out loud, leaning back, laughing heartily.

"..." Zhao Shishi really didn't know whether to be angry or angry!Zhao Cong's words are simply incomprehensible!

Rantao, Chaxi and others outside looked at each other and smiled when they heard His Majesty's hearty laughter in the inner room.

Sure enough, as long as Mr. Xiao Lang is around, His Majesty will be able to open his face.

Now that the Empress Dowager is going down, it is only these days that His Majesty is in charge, and it will only get better and better in the future.

Mr. Xiao Lang can also speak.

The days can be regarded as hopeful.

After Zhao Cong laughed, he whispered again: "Little Eleven, I am very pleased that you are willing to speak."

He said again: "That day, you saved me, I was very grateful and even more happy." Someone values ​​your life so important, is there anything more moving than this?In Zhao Cong's heart, Zhao Shishi is like Zhao Zongning, a family member he can trust 100%.

"Since you have come out of Xiaotiandi, don't go back again." Zhao Cong took Zhao Shishi's hand.

Zhao Shishi looked at him again.

"Little Eleven, to grow up happily, I will protect you."

Zhao Shishi's eyes suddenly became sore again, but he held it back steadily, without showing the slightest gaffe.

Until Zhao Cong rested, he had left, he had returned to his side hall, and Zhao Cong's phrase "I will protect you" was still in his mind.

He Dehe Neng, Zhao Cong would say this to him.

He also wanted to say, wanted to say "I can protect you too", but he suddenly lacked the courage.

He looked down at his arm, and before leaving, Zhao Cong looked at his arm carefully again, and let him come back after explaining everything.He touched his arm, and couldn't help but see Zhao Cong's eyes full of distress.

He couldn't help but sigh again.

He really had to go, the sooner the better.

The fact that Empress Dowager Sun's close female officer framed His Majesty was widely circulated in Beijing.

Now in the restaurant, Goulan Washeri, apart from betting on when His Majesty will be in charge, everyone has more to talk about.

As usual, Xiao Tang sat in Wangwuzheng shop, ordered two or three drinks, a pot of wine, and a cup of clear tea.

There are many booksellers in Beijing. Since he came to Beijing, he has written a lot of poems and earned some money. The debts of his family have been paid off, and his hands are much easier than before.And he was instructed by the princess to often come to Wang Wuzheng store to observe, and the princess gave him a sum of money.

He refused to take it at first, but Zhao Zongning directly stated that it was money for errands, and there was no reason to ask him to pay for the money for errands.He knew that he was short of money, if he came to the restaurant every day, he would definitely not be able to hold on, so he didn't refuse any more, and took the money.

After staying here for a long time, I always have to meet some familiar faces.It's just that it was a rainy day, and there were few people in the restaurant. Xiao Tang had a few glasses of wine, but he didn't see any acquaintances.

On the contrary, many diners were talking about His Majesty being framed by the Empress Dowager, Xiao Tang was eating white-cut mutton, listening to these people's talk, although absurd and plain, it was interesting.In his heart, he admired the officials in the palace even more. In fact, when His Majesty told him that he would be in charge within the year, he was inspired at the time. After thinking about it, he felt that what he said was probably a lie.

After all, the Empress Dowager Sun has been in power for six years, so she has some foundations.But Your Majesty has no foundation. Compared with this, doesn't Queen Mother firmly occupy a favorable position?Who would have thought that there would be so many changes in the palace in just over a month.His Majesty's personal administration is no longer just talk, besides coming here to drink every day, he is studying hard at the residence, just for Enke in the coming year.

After listening to it again, he felt bored and got up to leave.

Another person walked in the door, he immediately got up with a smile and said, "Brother Ruoping!"

The visitor walked up to him, bowed his hands and saluted: "Brother Zifan!"

Xiao Tang sat back again and extended his hand to invite: "Brother Ruoping, please sit down!"

This person was admitted to Juren in the same year as him, and he also did not participate in this year's Chunwei. His surname was changed to Yu and his style was Ruoping.The difference is that this person's family is extremely wealthy, and he is a well-known big businessman in Yangzhou, and less than half of the shops on the street belong to his family.

The reason why he procrastinated from participating in Chunwei was to travel.

Most of the scholars they stayed in the capital lived in one place, and rented a three-to-four-entry house. Many people lived together and shared the rent, which did not save a lot of money.This Yi Yu lives alone, and his family has a house in Beijing.But this person's personality is very peaceful, and his knowledge is also good. Beijing middle school students often have wine and tea at a few fixed places to exchange knowledge, and he also often comes. .

Xiao Tang poured wine for Yi Yu himself, and asked with a smile: "Brother Ruoping, why are you free today? It's still raining outside."

Yi Yu also laughed: "Brother Zifan is not afraid of wind and rain, why should I be afraid?"

Yi Yu is the lord of a wealthy family, and he used to be accompanied by chariots and horses when he traveled, how can he be as rough as him?The two of them have known each other for a long time, Xiao Tang was about to joke with him again, when Yi Yu suddenly whispered: "Brother Zifan, do you know the affairs in the palace?"

Xiao Tang motioned him to look around, and said, "Everyone is talking about it, how could I not know?"

"Brother Zifan, what's your conclusion?"

"This—" Although they are good friends, they never talk about these things.They are students, and even more so, how can they openly discuss these things.

In the past, Yi Yu was not such a ignorant person, why did he suddenly talk about this with him today?Without waiting for Xiao Tang to react, Yi Yu said again: "Brother Zi Fan often goes to the Princess's Mansion, so I'm afraid he already has a conclusion in his mind."

Xiao Tang immediately turned cold, and looked at Yi Yu carefully with a frown.

Every time he goes to the princess mansion, he is careful and careful!Even Mr. Lin didn't go there very often, and it was Mr. Lin who contacted him, but Yi Yu could find out that he had been staring at him for a long time!This person is very scheming!

Yi Yu smiled: "Why is Zifan so surprised, you and I have known each other for a long time, you don't know who I am?"

Xiao Tang sneered.

Yi Yu said helplessly: "Zi Fan, I regard you as a confidant, and it is really because I have no doubts and no one can explain it, that I talk to you like this."

"Why not be confused?"

"Today, the Chief Steward of Duke Yan's Mansion came to my house."

Xiao Tang's spirit shivered.

Yi Yu sighed: "This is not a place to talk, how about moving to my home?"

Xiao Tang agreed and went home with him, the two sat opposite each other and talked all afternoon.

It turned out that the Duke of Yan also knew that some people in Beijing deliberately spoke good words for His Majesty recently, and wanted to follow suit to rectify the Queen Mother's name, so they focused on Yi Yu.Naturally, there was a reason for following Yi Yu. Yi Yu was not like an ordinary scholar, and most ordinary scholars would not have the guts to do such a thing.And Yi Yu is a son of a rich family, with courage and vision.But after they became businessmen, they always lacked something.

Although this dynasty does not suppress business, and there are more and more merchants, but people's ideas have been fixed for a long time, and merchants are always slightly worse.The Yi family is not short of money, but lacks status.

Because of this, the Duke of Yan followed him.

Yi Yu was still very helpless: "Brother Zifan, until now, I will no longer hide anything. I did see you go to the princess mansion with my own eyes, and secretly guessed that you must have some connection with the princess. Someone came out deliberately and wrote a eulogy for the official, so I guessed that person was you. I met you because my motives were not pure. But I treat you sincerely, otherwise why should I tell you these things?"

Yi Yu really has a deep scheming heart, and he is afraid that there is something to hide, Xiao Tang knows it well.But as Yi Yu said, he must have believed in Xiao Tang to reveal this to him.There are advantages and disadvantages when such people intersect.

Xiao Tang still looked at him carefully.

Yi Yusheng has a good face, he always puts a smile on his face, he is really a good young man.From the conversation, it can be seen that he is very knowledgeable, but his ranking in the solution test is mediocre.In the past Xiao Tang was still puzzled, but now he suddenly understands that this person is probably hiding his clumsiness!

Yi Yu bowed to him again: "Brother Zifan, I need you to explain my confusion this time."

Xiao Tang couldn't help admiring him again, what's the answer?Since he said this, he naturally rejected the Duke of Yan's mansion, or he agreed but didn't intend to do anything.He was counting on himself to go to the princess mansion!Yi Yu wanted to ask for credit. This person had a lot of thoughts in his mind. No wonder he said he was traveling, but he didn't leave Tokyo City for a long time. He might have seen the changes in the power in the palace and guessed that His Majesty would be in charge!

The pro-government always wants to open Enke, and he is also for that subject next year!He did it to show his face in front of His Majesty!I'm afraid that Enke's ranking will not be low next year.

Xiao Tang was afraid of him and admired him, but although he and Yi Yu had a good relationship, they hadn't known each other for long.This kind of capable person must be needed by officials.After all, it is something that is beneficial to the officials. He has long been used by the officials, so what if he reports to the princess's mansion?

That's all!Even if he was used by Yi Yu, if he pushed Yi Yu's matter to the princess, the princess would also be grateful to him, so why didn't he use Yi Yu?It's a pity that this use was only forced by Yi Yu to use it!

Xiao Tang shook his head: "In the past, I really underestimated Brother Ruoping. I don't know what else Brother Ruoping is hiding?"

Yi Yu smiled wryly: "Brother Zifan, there is always helplessness in life."

These words hit the point, there is always helplessness.Some people are born to want to be officials and ministers of power, and some people just want to live a peaceful life.Yi Yu obviously wanted to become an official and do great things, so how could he move forward if he didn't have some scheming behind him?Yi Yu really lived up to his first and last name.

On the contrary, he should reflect on himself, he is still a bit worse after all!

The next day, Xiao Tang dressed up, entered the palace through the back door of the princess's mansion, and reported the matter to Zhao Zongning.

The author has something to say:

Suddenly thought of a fun one.

In front of the emperor, Eleven: Little wolf dog [Wang woo~]

In front of others, Eleven: Little Wolf [Aww! ][fierce! ]

Haha.
