For the rest of my life, I am lucky to know my old friend

The emperor was very worried about Yan Guogong asking for leave and running away during the hunting trip. After he returned to Luan, he heard that Yan Guogong found the imperial doctor as soon as he came back, and he felt better.Therefore, the Son of Heaven immediately called the imperial physician over to ask how Duke Yan was doing.

The imperial doctor submitted the medical case very honestly. The emperor saw that the hot spring was flooded and caused a sore throat. The medical case was unacceptable. After all, the water in the hot spring pool on Lishan Mountain was not deep, and Duke Yan was born tall. , What posture did he use to drown in the hot spring pool.

Therefore, the emperor asked again, I don't know if Duke Yan is seriously ill.

The imperial doctor replied again, it was very serious and I couldn't speak.

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven sighed, and said: "Be careful, as soon as the medicinal materials are taken from my private treasury, don't be stingy."

The imperial physician agreed, and then slowly resigned.

Seeing that the imperial physician had left, the emperor immediately found Princess Tongtai again, and said, "Xue Qing is ill, go and see him."

When Princess Tongtai heard this, she felt powerless and said helplessly, "Father, don't worry about it anymore. He won't be willing."

The emperor glared at her when he heard the words, and said, "You are the son of the emperor, why doesn't he want to?!"

Princess Tongtai looked at her white-haired and pale father, and couldn't bear to argue any longer, so she had to take orders and leave.

When the princess arrives, it is natural that the middle door should be opened to welcome her; Yan Guogong, who was tired of lying on the bed, got up angrily, and was about to get dressed to meet the guests, but was stopped by Du Heng, saying: "The princess is here to visit the sick, you see It's too healthy to wear."

Xue Chengye stopped when he heard the words, walked around the room twice and said, "Then how should I pretend to be sick?!"

Du Heng looked at his ruddy face, he really didn't look sick, thought for a while, and said: "Before the emperor ordered people to come, he must have seen the imperial physician first. The imperial physician showed me the throat, so you also You should have hurt your throat, so please stop talking."

"This is easy." Xue Chengye rubbed his hands and said, "Zhong Ping and I will go?"

"You should take your fate." Du Heng just sat up, and he wanted to brush off the dust on his sleeves habitually, but found that he was not wearing anything, and his face turned red all of a sudden. Nest back.

When Princess Tongtai came, she first saw Du Heng who was wrapped in an azurite feather gauze cloak and knelt outside the middle door to greet her, and then Du Heng took her to the outer study room. Once she entered, she saw Xue Chengye who was bowing with a stiff face.

Xue Chengye cupped his fists at her, then pointed to his mouth, and did not speak.Princess Tongtai didn't care, she just read the imperial decree with her hands behind her back, and the two hurriedly knelt down to receive the decree before returning to their seats.

Xue Chengye looked at Du Heng, who was the last seat respectfully, with piercing eyes, and really wanted to go directly to pull him over. Du Heng glanced back at him, signaling him to be calm, but Princess Tongtai looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the two of them, and couldn't help but funny.

After saying a few words of politeness, Princess Tongtai looked at the medical case twice, then looked at Xue Chengye who was sitting in a dama, showing the most cordial smile, and began to express condolences. stopped back.

After saying a few words, the maid brought the medicine. Du Heng did not pretend to be anyone else, and went to Xue Chengye with the medicine himself. How painful it is.

Du Heng looked at his bitter and bitter look, couldn't help laughing secretly, blocked Princess Tongtai's sight with his body, and stirred the "medicine" in the bowl with a spoon in front of Xue Chengye, the dripping liquid was reflected in the sunlight It has a rose-colored luster and exudes a light sweet fragrance.He looked at Xue Chengye who was still in a daze, and mouthed: "I'll feed you."

Xue Chengye opened his mouth obediently, and felt a spoonful of "medicine" poured in. The sweet taste immediately permeated his tongue, filling his entire mouth. Xue Chengye couldn't help but smacked his lips. Du Heng glared at him and said: "Bitter medicine, Junhou, please bear with it."

Hearing this, Xue Chengye coughed hurriedly, continued to look serious, and stared at Du Heng's hand eagerly. Du Heng continued to feed slowly with a fair face.

Princess Tongtai watched Xue Chengye seem to be drinking hard, but the lingering love in her eyes was hardly concealed, and Du Heng was also full of laughter, feeding meticulously, and couldn't help feeling sour. Turning his head, he was about to walk away, but immediately I endured it again and asked what was in the medicine.

Du Heng still smiled, and said: "Peach gum, ebony plum, licorice, add some winter melon kernels, and three or two liang of yellow lotus, boil it slowly, and then it will become a bitter medicine. After the boil is finished, add yellow lotus honey. "

Princess Tongtai half understood, nodded and said, "That's right."

"The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is good." After feeding Du Heng, he wiped Xue Chengye's face with a handkerchief, and turned around and said, "Your Highness, it's almost time for feeding. Your Highness, do you want to eat?"

"No need." Princess Tongtai really didn't want to look at them, so she turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned around and bowed to them a few times, saying: "The general's wings are ready." , there is nothing to control, I just hope that in the future, when the soldiers are fighting, I will leave my concubine as a way of life."

Hearing this, Du Heng quickly held down Xue Chengye who was about to speak, pulled him off as well, and knelt on the ground.Although Du Heng seemed to be kneeling, but his spine was straight, he looked at Princess Tongtai with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Your Highness has made a slip of the tongue. As a courtier, how can you judge the affairs of the world?!"

Princess Tongtai was restrained by this aura, and the courage that was originally filling her body disappeared without a trace. She could only say: "I hope the general will remember this, and don't lose your favor."

"Your Highness, there must be a ruler and not a ruler, and then there are ministers and ministers." Du Heng still raised his head, and said with emotion: "The ruler does not betray the minister, and the minister does not betray the ruler."

Princess Tongtai saw that Du Heng was confronting her tit for tat and would not back down, she couldn't help feeling even more sad, the court was weak and had lost a loyal minister, but Xue Chengye was like a tiger with wings added, sadly said: "Sir, being loyal to the court is the best thing. "

"I am under the king's tent, and what I say is what the king says." Du Heng said without relaxing, "every word comes from the heart, I hope your majesty will not listen to slander, cold the hearts of ministers, the world is lucky, the common people Fortunately, the country is blessed." After saying that, he prostrated himself on the ground, spreading his wide sleeves on the ground, as if covering thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

Xue Chengye is not a fool, although he didn't know how to refute, but when he heard this, he was very annoyed, he clenched his fists and bowed down to Du Heng, secretly scolding this bitch for being too inconvenient, how dare to test me, the emperor's old man is also full of bad water, The daughter is taught badly.

Seeing this, Princess Tongtai had nothing to say, she could only wipe away her tears while helping the two of them up, she couldn't keep her face for a long time, and left immediately.

After the people left, Xue Chengye angrily waved his fist, smashing the Hu chair on one side to pieces, then carefully helped Du Heng up, and asked, "Does your knee hurt?"

Du Heng brushed away his hand that was about to take off his trousers, and said: "I'm fine, alas, it's just that the court has become suspicious of you."

Xue Chengye smiled nonchalantly: "It's not a matter of a day or two. Since the death of Guo Linggong, which dynasty emperor will not have some whimsical ideas."

When Du Heng heard the word whimsy, he was almost overwhelmed. He leaned into Xue Chengye's arms with a smile, and said, "You use this word well, which is different from the common customs."

"Hmm." Hearing this, Xue Chengye bowed his head and kissed him on the cheek in joy, and said, "The one just now was so sweet, did it really fall for Huang Lian?"

"Except for Huang Lian, everything else is gone." Du Heng said, "I don't want you to drink bitter medicine for no reason. However, I have eaten a lot of venison recently, and eating some licorice is also good for reducing fire."

"Two more bowls would be nice."

"You really drank it like sugar water." Du Heng pressed his shoulder and said, "However, the imperial court can even speak out such a heart-to-heart. I'm afraid it's someone's trouble."

Xue Chengye said indifferently: "They are just civil servants."

"Civil officials don't use knives to kill people." Du Heng said, "It must be some censors, for officials like Shizhong, so let's think of a way to replace them. As long as they are transferred from the central government, they will not say these things You have a chance; then replace your own people and let them make a name for you, make a name for you, and even lobby for a connection."

Hearing this, Xue Chengye was already stunned, as if he really wanted to see the scene of his mother and father discussing matters together when he was young, he couldn't help being very moved, he lifted Du Heng up, and spun around in the air Circle, shouted: "Zhong Ping is really amazing! I really picked up a treasure!"

Du Heng was so frightened that he grabbed his shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Put me down!"

Xue Chengye said: "I am always afraid that once I let you go, you will disappear."

Hearing this, Du Heng explained with a reddish face: "Since I brought your bowl and ate your meal, I will naturally plan for you."

Xue Chengye hugged him in his arms and said, "Hey, that's good. Let's go to eat now. I'll ask someone to prepare a few pieces of venison, so that it tastes good when roasted. When I was in Fanyang, I went to the mountains every autumn for a visit." Come on, at that time, the venison was the fattest, and it was the most delicious when grilled. The venison here is even worse." At the end, he shook his head regretfully.

The two were talking happily, when someone came to report again, but it was the policeman from Fengyu Town who came to invite Du Heng to interrogate him.Xue Chengye put the person down, and frowned upon hearing this, he was about to drive him out.Du Heng shook his head and said, "That's all, it's better if nothing happens."

"Huh?" Xue Chengye said, "What kind of incident is this?"

"Although I am a commoner, I am also a good citizen." Du Heng said with a smile, "I will go to the court to explain the facts, and there is nothing I should not do. Besides, will the town guard dare to falsely accuse me?"

"Who dares?!" Xue Chengye said arrogantly, "Although I am in Chang'an, I am not afraid to kill people."

"Put one's mind to kill, one needs to have one's heart to kill." Du Heng shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Xue Chengye lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "What do you mean?"

"Sigh." Du Heng sighed, and said, "As long as people are convinced and don't refute, it's better than killing people."

"That's a bit of a joke."

"Of course there is a way to kill people without using a knife." Du Heng seemed to have thought of something, and his smiling face was a bit gloomy. He stroked the scar on the back of his hand and said, "Don't worry."

"But you have to have a meal and leave tomorrow." Xue Chengye said, "The road at night is dangerous."

"Okay." Du Heng said, "Let someone greet that arrester quickly. It's a hard work for him to set up a table."

Xue Chengye said: "As long as you are a good person, if I am tempered, I will directly lock him in the firewood room and freeze him for a day."

"What's the use of embarrassing him?" Du Heng said, "Give me roast venison."

Departing the next day, the two said goodbye reluctantly.Du Heng was wrapped in a thick cloak and lay on the carriage. He felt the pain in his bones from the shaking of the carriage. He couldn't sleep even if he wanted to catch up on sleep. He touched his hands and feet idly and found that the flesh on them was soft. He couldn't help thinking about whether he should wake up with Xue Chengye every morning to practice martial arts.

But winter is so cold, getting up is so painful, how did Xue Chengye manage to wake up early the next day after tossing around in the middle of the night.Du Heng introspected for a while, and found that he had only lived with him for a month, and he was spoiled and cowardly.

Thinking of this, he lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, wanting to work hard, and changed from riding a car to riding a horse, but when the cold wind blew, he retracted his head again, it was too cold.

After two days of hurrying and hurrying, the group finally arrived.When they arrived in front of the Yamen, the policeman in green clothes politely said to Du Heng in the car: "Mr. Du, we're here."

"Thank you." Du Heng straightened his clothes, got out of the car, bowed his hands to the policeman, and followed in.

The catcher hastily returned the gift and led the way, not without pride in his heart. Although he is a distinguished guest of the government, he is not proud of his status. He is really a happy person.

Du Heng took advantage of the conversation with the policeman to thoroughly inquire about the guard's temper, so he was more confident.He was neither slow nor ill, and went straight into the courtroom without raising his clothes.

The breeze was coming slowly, and the moon was shining down on the ground. Although the guard had prejudice against Du Heng, a noble guest of the government, he couldn't help sighing when he saw this. Mr. Du who is all over the capital." He never uttered any bad words.

Du Heng curled his lips into a smile, exuding a touch of grace, and said: "I am Du Heng, who has seen the Ming Palace." He lifted up his robe and knelt down to bow.

Seeing this, the guard waved his hand and said, "You are both a celebrity and a witness, so let's stand up and answer."

"Xie Ming's Mansion." Du Heng stood up, looked at Lu Ao who was also standing beside him, and Lu Ying who was kneeling, seeing both of them staring at him with resentful eyes, he sighed in his heart.

Then, the guard began to question, and when he asked Du Heng why he had ordered people to follow Lu Ying, he was a bit stricter, after all, Du Heng's actions were too suspicious.

Du Heng replied calmly: "These two people have a gap with me, so I will order people to follow and find an opportunity to give them something to look good."

Hearing the words, the guardian couldn't help but said: "Bold and bold, a woman's reputation is precious, how can you be considered a scholar if you do such a thing?!"

Du Heng sighed, and said: "So I didn't do anything in the end, but instead stopped her from doing wrong things, it can be considered a merit."

When Lu Ying heard this sentence, she screamed, and said, "No! You clearly, clearly expected it in advance. You clearly ordered someone to dig a hole there for me to jump in!"

Du Heng looked back at her, his eyes were clear, but there was a sense of coldness, and he said: "Okay. What kind of hole did I dig, you tell me? I gave it to you? I asked you to kill you Mother's? Or did I grab your hand to poison it?"

When Lu Ying heard this, her knees softened, she fell to her knees, and cried, "I never thought about it like this before. I never really wanted to hurt my mother, she was my biological mother! How could I would do such an outrageous thing!"

Du Heng turned his head, sighed, and said to the guardian: "I really don't know why she has such a deep prejudice against me."

The guardian squinted his eyes, looked at Lu Ying who was almost collapsed, and then looked at Du Heng who was calm and breezy, and said: "You said you have a rift with them, what kind of grudge is it?!"

Du Heng looked around and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say it here."

"What's inappropriate?" The guard patted the gavel and said, "In front of this officer, you can say everything you know."

"Here." Du Heng responded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Ao hiss and say, "It can't be like this! You can't, you can't say it here."

Du Heng lowered his eyes and ignored him, but couldn't help but want to sneer. It's so boring to run so far to watch this scene in the cold weather. It's better to stay in the study and read Chinese books. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smiled again, I don't know what Xue Chengye is doing.

The guard has been entangled for a long time, so he had to order to transfer to the second hall to continue the trial, because Du Heng also took a seat when he went to the second hall, and the most annoying thing was that Lu Ao also sat down, and Lu Ying knelt on his behind.

The guardian reluctantly explained, and said, "Lu Sheng is also a local gentry, so he must always take care of the gentry's dignity."

Du Heng didn't want to waste any more, wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and immediately sneered and said: "Hmph, those who deceive the world and steal their reputation should also pay attention to the dignity of the gentry. The dignity is never given by others, it is earned by yourself."

Lu Ao's face turned blue when he heard the words, stood up and said to Du Heng: "You ignorant boy, at the beginning, this old man just used a trick to teach you a lesson, so that you can know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and you can learn to have high eyebrows and low eyes." .You don’t know how to reflect, and you still hold a grudge, it’s really a waste of my hard work.”

When Du Heng heard the words, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Then Prince An fell into the water and died that day, presumably Yan Dudu wanted to teach him a lesson and learn from it, so we know what happened, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Lu Ao dared to respond, but said in a trembling tone, "You, how dare you! I've never thought about it that way."

Du Heng stood up, pressing each other again and again, and said: "Even if you think so, it's okay. Yan Dudu has a high reputation, but how can you, a narrow-minded villain, compare with you? I am the one who compares Yan Dudu to you." It’s really wrong to humiliate the ancients!”

Seeing Du Heng's arrogance, the guard also said angrily: "Is this how you treat seniors? It's just ridiculous for a madman to accuse the gentry for fame and flatter the government for profit."

Du Heng glanced at him sideways, and said with a sneer: "This man with insufficient knowledge, lack of morality, and narrow-mindedness dares to be called my senior, but he is old and immortal. As for the flattery of the government, I bow to the official , it’s more legitimate than bowing to the powerful.” The words pointed directly at the guard, clearly scolding the guard for being afraid of the Lu family’s influence, for not questioning the murderer, but forcibly questioning himself, an innocent person.

The guard reacted, rolled his eyes in anger, gasped heavily, and looked at Lu Ao again, he was so angry that he passed away, and said anxiously and angrily: "You crazy student, you crazy student, you don't know etiquette , you don't know the system, insulting the Shangguan, you are really bold..."

Du Heng saw that he couldn't speak completely, sighed, changed his tone, but lowered his tone, and said: "When I was wronged and returned to Beijing, no one saw that I was wronged; when I was lynched, no one explained me. Suffering, and now I need to have a heart of forgiveness for the perpetrators, it is too difficult, please forgive me for not being able to do it, so farewell!"

After all, Du Heng bowed to the ground, walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and walked out of the gloomy and oppressive Yamen with ease. Seeing the silvery white ground outside the door, he felt extremely peaceful in his heart, and he probably wouldn't have nightmares from now on. He began to think about Xue Chengye, why not go back.In the past, they would have eaten together.

The author has something to say:

What Du Heng and the princess answered was actually a tit-for-tat temptation. The princess's words were almost the same as directly accusing Xue Chengye of treason, no matter whether Xue Chengye agreed or not, there was a problem.Therefore, Du Heng pushed back directly, pointing out that what you said was inappropriate, we are courtiers, and this matter is not something we can talk about.But you can't speak too lowly, you must be neither humble nor overbearing.Because his current status is Xue Chengye's subject, the master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, the master humiliates his ministers to death, and letting his lord be humiliated is enough to make his ministers die of shame in ancient times.

As for "the emperor is not the emperor, the minister is not the minister", we have to go back to the feudal ethics. In ancient times, at least before the Song and Ming Dynasties, there were obligations between the monarch and the ministers. If you become a lone husband and a traitor to the people, then the subjects will turn against you at any time.

Du Heng's reaction to this text confrontation was very fast, Xue Chengye hadn't fully turned around yet, he had already answered _(:з)∠)_.Therefore, Father Cang also needs to cultivate hard, quarrel with Father Qin more often, bickering is fine.

Wang Zi'an is Wang Bo. He wrote the famous "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" at the banquet held by Yan Boyu, the governor of Hongzhou. It is said that the banquet of the governor of Yan wanted to make his son-in-law famous, but Wang Bo snatched it away. Gone is the glory.

Du Heng used this allusion to directly accuse Lu Aozhi of being shameless and narrow-minded.The latter one is a sentence that never dies is a thief.The so-called scholars, how can curse people with dirty words?Du Heng's and Xue Chengye's cursing styles are completely different.
