Ruan Shutong

It snowed for many days in a row, and the winter became bleak.I started to feel that something was wrong, that there must be something going on that I didn't know about.

I remembered that I hadn't seen Xu Ning and Heng Rui for a long time, and it was only after a long time that I suddenly realized this.But I didn't think much about it, one of them is the prince and the other is the young minister of Dali Temple, naturally they are not more at ease than me and other idlers, maybe it was because of the delay in the important affairs of the court that they forgot about me.

What's more, I'm discussing with Mu Yifei recently about making money. I firmly believe that the economic foundation determines the superstructure. I eat and use Ruan Mansion's food in this small courtyard every day, and I'm so unconfident when I meet Mrs. , if I had controlled the source of income myself, I would not have been so passive in the first place.

Mu Yifei turned around: "Do you know poetry and songs?"

I shook my head.

"Can you understand the ledger?"

Keep shaking.

"Forging iron?"

Shaking his head.

"Selling cakes?"

Shaking his head.

"Selling meat?"

Shaking his head.

"Sell... art?"

I pointed at Lan Hua shyly and poked: "This husband is so straightforward, I only sell myself, not show."

Mu Yifei shuddered and said, "Then what will you do?"

I thought about it, recalled the glorious years when the scalpel was flying in the laboratory, and said ecstatically, "I can be a butcher."

The next day, Mu Yifei brought three chickens, two geese, one rabbit, and one tortoise from the neighbor's house for me to practice.If he really lives up to his reputation, his skill is agile.I gestured with a knife and a fork with a grim smile on my face, Ho Ho Ho!Be careful, baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my brother is sure to strike fast, accurate and ruthless, white knives go in and red knives go out, you will die, and you will never rework.

Eight wings and twelve legs danced up and down in the yard, all kinds of cries rang out, and all kinds of feathers fluttered lightly.I ended up sitting on the ground with the bald rabbit in my hands, panting.A chicken raised its head proudly, fluttering its wings: "Ohhhh~~~~~~"

Wang Ba shrunk his short legs contentedly, mung bean eyes looked at me contemptuously, and slowly crawled away.

With the knife out of his hands, the plan to make money died prematurely.

After more than a month, one day when I saw a crowd of people, I realized that the capital city had already been baptized by sudden changes.Now that the imperial list has been released, it has attracted crowds of onlookers.

I couldn't understand traditional characters, and I couldn't read classical Chinese, so I drifted past, completely ignoring it.Until half of the discussion fell into the ears.

"General Fuyuan this time..."

I rake my ears, General Fuyuan?Where have you heard it?

Heng Rui lazily stood at the door waiting for me.

He showed his classic smile and said, "Xiao Ruan, do you know that this king feels heartbroken and bursts into tears when he doesn't see you these days, why did you let this king wait for you for so long?"

I was in such a disgusting mess, I thought to myself, you have seen your old friend recently, so you don't remember me.Where are you singing now?

But the prince sang, we as common people must cooperate.

I moved over in small steps, and fell to my knees: "My lord is a villain."

Enough of the farce, Heng Rui helped me up contentedly, and said: "You follow me into the palace."

I blinked and looked at him, not knowing why.

Heng Rui's tone was unusually calm, but I didn't know how much forbearance was actually concealed under his calm appearance.

He said: "Someone conspired against me and involved me. I probably have to rely on you to survive."

I am more and more surprised.

Along the way, I cursed in my heart: Corruption, it is too corrupt, the evil feudal exploitation system, the poisonous snakes and beasts that squeeze the working people, the parasites that suck the last drop of blood, and at the same time, I can’t help but feel like Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden glance right and left.

Heng Rui pulled me by the collar of my clothes and pulled me behind him, saying: "A male pet must have the self-consciousness of a male pet, and can't go hand in hand with his master."

My heart said, I pooh!When the fuck did I become your male favourite?Just as she was about to speak up to refute, Heng Rui slapped her in the eye and choked her back: "The master won't let you speak, and the male pet is not allowed to speak."

I rolled my eyes, I had no choice but to bow my head under the low eaves, so I followed behind him silently, taking small steps, looking down at my toes all the time, like a pissed off daughter-in-law.

Heng Rui introduces everyone he meets: "Master Li, this is Xiao Ruan."

"General Su, this is Xiao Ruan."

"Ding Shangshu, this is Xiao Ruan."

"Pei Situ, this is Xiao Ruan."

It's like turning on the repeat mode.

I bowed my knees behind me and said, "I've seen you, my lord."

The other party gave a meaningful laugh and said, "My lord is very elegant."

Heng Rui said: "Your Majesty, this is Xiao Ruan"

I bent my knees reflexively: "I've seen my lord... eh? Your Majesty?"

The emperor rushed over, grabbed my hand and said: "So this is Xiao Ruan. I heard Uncle Rui mentioned it earlier, and seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."

I'm so famous?

I looked up, but I saw that the man in my eyes was full of dignity, but he looked young, probably under twenty.This brat actually has the nerve to call me Xiao Ruan?

The emperor squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "Uncle Rui, if I say that I have a crush on Xiao Ruan and want to ask you for it, are you willing to part with my nephew?"

I gasped in shock and glanced at Heng Rui quietly.

After all, Heng Rui is not an ordinary person, he only blessed the emperor a little bit, and then stopped between me and the emperor without a trace, and said: "Your majesty, is it the king's land in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's minister. Can you get it?" Your Majesty values ​​it, and it is Xiao Ruan's blessing, so there is no reason for me not to give it up."

I cursed in a low voice: Beast!

On the contrary, the emperor couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Rui, don't fool me with these gifts of the monarch and ministers, you think I can't see it, you just acted like that, you were so distressed, but you still said the same thing That sounds nice. I won’t be joking with you anymore. Uncle Rui’s man, my nephew can’t move his mind. But I’ve been coveting the jugs of good wine in Uncle Rui’s house for a long time. Uncle Rui is reluctant to part with Xiao Ruan. Even if you don't know how many jars of wine, you can't bear to give it up to your nephew, right?"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Heng Rui's sleeve, and his uncle and nephew walked away filially.

I froze on the spot, trying to understand Heng Rui's intention for bringing me here: Prince Rui likes men, and he adopted nephews, and even brought male pets with him at the solemn occasion of the palace banquet, and even disobeyed the saint for a humble male pet. meaning.Love sensuality, in his 20s, he has yet to accept a concubine, and has never given birth to an heir.He tried his best to build himself into such a useless prince image, in order to tell those loyal ministers and good generals that Prince Rui is nothing more than this, and he can't make any big waves. If you are worried about him rebelling or something, then you are really worrying too much.

I suddenly felt that this person was a bit mean and shameless.

The result later was that Heng Rui still bore the title of King Qin, but he handed over all the military power in his hand, and he really became an idle prince.It is also called, old-age care.

I got a big deal when I entered the palace this time, the little emperor was in a good mood, and unexpectedly gave me a house with a wave of the dragon's claw.Later I went shopping, there are several courtyards.

Heng Rui said: "Military power will be handed over sooner or later. The power has been left behind for so many years. I should have thought that two years ago the emperor asked me to secretly investigate Grand Master Zhao, but in fact he wanted to get rid of the three of us in one fell swoop. When he came to the throne, he was still young. Little, but now that I have such means of acting, it's time for me to leave."

I said, "If you lose, you lose, and make it look like you're great."

Heng Rui said: "This is a political balancing act, you don't understand."

I don't understand, but at least I know that I won't put people I care about in danger.The list of traitors on the emperor's list was plastered all over the city, Taishi Zhao's bloody head hung outside the city wall, and his protruding eyes seemed to be full of unwillingness.The cold wind in winter blows up a corner of the imperial list and blows in the wind, so I saw a familiar name on the list of rebels on the imperial list, so I understand that he is actually just your pawn.Taishi Zhao was ambitious and tried to usurp the throne.But in order to find out the evidence of Taishi Zhao's rebellion, why did you insist on putting Ruan Shangjun in danger?If he is not a pawn, why don't you save him?If he is really a pawn, who are you walking around like this for?

I asked, "Who is the other one?"

Heng Rui sighed and said, "General Xu Guang."

I hurriedly stood up and looked at him in disbelief.

Heng Rui didn't look at me, and just said: "Actually, General Xu is really loyal, and he was used by Prince Zhao only because he wanted to get rid of me as a troublesome prince. Now, he is probably living without face."

I rushed out: "I'm going to find Xu Ning."

Heng Rui shook his head: "It's useless, Taishi Zhao's people, General Xu has been dispatched to the frontier, Xu Ning, probably going too."

I felt a tight twitch in my heart, and after a while I said, "I'll go find him."

Heng Rui stopped talking, I collected myself, and suddenly added a sentence: "If there is news about Ruan Shangjun, I will come back and tell you."

Stepping out the door, I heard Heng Rui whispering from behind: "No need. He's already dead, I killed him myself."
